In this episode of We Are Change, host Luke Rudkowski is joined by Ian Smith, owner of the Beanie Compound Gym, to talk about the dangers of COID restrictions and the people who defied the science to keep their doors open.
00:00:43.000We also heard from Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago that bars and restaurants need to reopen.
00:00:47.000I wonder what caused the sudden change of heart from their previous positions that basically defied the science.
00:00:54.000Since the start of the COVID restrictions, there have been some people who have been standing up saying it's unconstitutional and it's unreasonable.
00:01:00.000Early on, many health experts and scientists were saying, how about we protect the vulnerable, we protect those with pre-existing conditions and comorbidities, and we allow young healthy people to work because the science wasn't out to justify destroying the economy.
00:01:14.000Well, there was one gym that defied the lockdown in a variety of ways, but joining us now, we actually have the owner of that gym, Ian Smith.
00:01:24.000But you were still following social distancing and masks and all that stuff, right?
00:01:28.000Yeah, we opened up with a 15-point safety protocol.
00:01:34.000Um, when we reopened, we didn't do it to be defiant.
00:01:37.000We didn't do it to, um, to push back against government.
00:01:41.000We did it to provide a solution where there was none.
00:01:44.000You know, they said 14 days, and seven weeks in, we were still being told to be patient.
00:01:49.000Uh, and we were still being told that there was no plan to reopen, so my partner Frank and I put together our own plan.
00:01:55.000We social distance, we have temperature checks at the door, we have an entirely touchless system coming in, we have contact tracing, we have record of every single person who's been in the facility, when, what time, what their temperature was, with a health questionnaire that's filled out, so on and so forth.
00:02:46.000I mean, so, uh, it's, it's, you know, it's really interesting.
00:02:49.000We have, we're particularly fortuitous in getting our guests because there's always some big story happening around the guests that we bring in.
00:02:55.000I don't know how it, how it happens, but in Tunisia, 600, over 600 arrests as riots break out because they're defying the lockdowns in the Netherlands.
00:03:42.000So, of course, Ian Smith from Atlas Gym is joining us, but we also have Luke Rudkowski writing things down.
00:03:47.000Well, Ian, I'm very happy you're here.
00:03:49.000Feel free to move the microphone a little bit closer if you want, and he's going to be providing us very important feedback on the Radowski Gym that we just established here on the Beanie Compound location.
00:05:10.000You ever see that episode of The Simpsons where Homer buys the orange juicer and then like in Japan, the guy coughs into it and then they seal the box and when he opens it, the Japanese flu hits him in the face and he's like, ah, and he screams.
00:05:30.000When COVID first started, a lot of people were like, another Simpsons prediction.
00:05:34.000It's like, it's a funny bit where like Chief Wiggum is running down the street and he sees the cloud of germs chasing him and just shooting at it.
00:05:41.000Anyway, of course, Sarpatch Lids is here.
00:06:39.000And I got to admit, you know, we talked about it last week.
00:06:42.000Ian and I kind of talked about it because Decentralization is the only real solution to the censorship problem.
00:06:50.000Because even if you're setting up your own infrastructure, there's always some chain link that can be snipped at by some authoritarian, or enough pressure can get blocks put on.
00:06:58.000And there's even instances where Google seized the domain of some websites, just seized it outright, using their power to block people from being able to go to certain websites.
00:07:07.000So with PocketNet, you sign up, decentralized, and they say this.
00:07:12.000What makes them different from all the big platforms?
00:07:14.000There is no central authority or corporation.
00:07:16.000The platform is run by equal nodes on a blockchain.
00:07:19.000All revenue is split between node operators and content creators.
00:07:22.000Node operators stake pocket coin in order to mint blocks with rewards and transaction fees.
00:07:28.000Half of rewards in each block go to content creators based on ratings their content gathers from users.
00:07:53.000I got a couple of pocket coins from, like, interactions, so the crypto market is thriving.
00:07:58.000They said specifically that the app that you get from Google right now and PocketNet.app website are ultimately not... They're good, they work, but they're still centralized.
00:08:29.000You know, look, when we do sponsor spots, we normally don't go this in-depth, but we've talked about it a lot on this show, that we need a social network system that's powered and structured, totally decentralized.
00:08:40.000And there have been a lot of attempts at it over the years.
00:08:41.000So check out pocketnet.app in the description below, and special thanks to them for sponsoring the show.
00:08:46.000But also, don't forget, go to timcast.com, become a member, help support the show.
00:08:49.000Well, we're going to have more and more members-only content coming up soon, and if you want to get the exclusive I Am A Gorilla t-shirt, go to TimCast.com, click shop, and you should find the I Am A Gorilla shirt.
00:08:59.000We've already sold over 600 of them, and we're going to be releasing a tinfoil hat edition, special edition.
00:09:06.000We're only going to have it up for like a day or two, so we'll announce when that happens.
00:09:09.000Anyway, let's get back to the news, and thanks to the sponsors.
00:10:34.000So about seven weeks into the lockdown, Frank and I decided that we were going to reopen.
00:10:38.000We were going to do so publicly, not because we wanted the attention, but because we wanted to present a plan to the public where all small businesses could use the same measures that we had adapted to their own business.
00:10:51.000We were looking around, I think like most people had started to at that point, and saying, a lot of this doesn't make sense.
00:10:57.000You know, the fact that all of these small businesses are villainized and deemed as unsafe, but you can slap a mask on your face and wipe your cart down and go have a frenzy in Walmart just wasn't really making sense.
00:11:09.000So we said, OK, we're going to devise our own safety plan.
00:11:13.000We went so far as to get hydroxyl generators which convert Humidity in the air to OH molecules runs 33,000 cubic square feet per minute circulating air.
00:11:26.000I mean, we did everything we possibly could to the point where if they told us we couldn't open it, it would be absurd.
00:12:07.000And then once gyms were allowed to be opened, the Attorney General called us and said, you need to mandate masks.
00:12:13.000And we said, no, we're going to make them optional because while working out, it's not really a smart thing to have your face covered.
00:12:20.000And it even says in the executive order in New Jersey that opened sports, that you shouldn't wear it during intense aerobic and anaerobic activities.
00:12:28.000That's the government's actual recommendation.
00:12:30.000That's the government's recommendation in the executive order that opened indoor sports.
00:12:34.000Yeah, they said it's dangerous to wear, but in the executive order that opened gyms, they said cloth face coverings are required.
00:12:41.000Which, just like the government, makes no sense.
00:12:46.000So I guess what I wanted to get to, starting from the beginning, is some people have already commented in the chat that that money that was taken wasn't stolen, it was a fine.
00:13:56.000Was this account an existing account you had, or was it new and set up for legal defense?
00:14:00.000This was an existing business account, but the money comes almost entirely from our GoFundMe account, which is where people donate either locally, because we don't charge members.
00:14:09.000We haven't charged our members since April 1st.
00:14:13.000First of all, we didn't charge because we weren't allowed to be open, so we said, we're just open.
00:14:18.000We weren't in it for the money, we were in it to win a legal battle.
00:14:22.000But then after they stripped our business license, obviously, we can't charge.
00:14:25.000So we haven't charged, it's all donations, and then it's t-shirt sales.
00:14:34.000Yeah, I wondered about that, because there's other businesses, too, who have, you know, defied lockdown and things like that in various areas.
00:14:39.000And I wonder what the landlords are probably thinking or, you know, I wonder if the government's gone to them.
00:14:43.000But I want to get to the most interesting aspect outside of this.
00:14:46.000So first, I just want to make sure we stress That was the legal defense fund for paying your lawyers to challenge the fines in the first place, and they went and they took your ability to defend yourself.
00:14:55.000That's crazy, but let me tell you, you know what I think the craziest thing is?
00:14:59.000So actually, I used to live right by your gym.
00:15:02.000Like, maybe like, I think only like three and a half, four miles away, and we cruised over a couple times and talked to some of the locals.
00:15:07.000You weren't there, I'm not sure, you know, what had happened, but, you know, you guys had like the 14th Amendment written and put up on the windows and stuff.
00:15:13.000So, uh, we went there after it was announced that your gym had been flooded.
00:15:29.000And that's, this is what someone told me.
00:15:30.000So tell me, tell me if this is true or not.
00:15:32.000Someone there said that the previous day, just before the flooding happened, there were two squad cars blocking the alleyway behind both the entrance and the both entrances to the alleyway.
00:15:42.000So there's like a single stretch that goes behind this, this, this complex.
00:15:46.000And they said that two squad cars were like blocking the road.
00:15:49.000And the cops said, you can't come back here.
00:16:14.000The building is pretty old, so whoever is doing it, and I do not claim to know who, but it's definitely intentional.
00:16:22.000We've had multiple plumbing crews come out and say, this isn't, I mean, this isn't, you know, somebody took a big dump and, you know, had too much toilet paper.
00:16:49.000I didn't I didn't personally witness it but I had pictures sent in.
00:16:54.000Around that time that we reopened, we had so many eyes and ears on the place just because people were so invested in our story and invested in what we were doing that there were people sleeping out in the parking lot during the opening nights.
00:17:07.000There were people kind of surveilling the place, sending us pictures, videos, the whole nine.
00:17:12.000Is it possible that the good-hearted police were guarding the water truck trying to save your business from the flooding?
00:17:19.000I mean, the water truck came out to try and make sure, you know, oh no, it's gonna flood, we gotta save this guy.
00:17:24.000It's hard to imagine they would be doing anything else but that.
00:17:29.000I was going to ask you, how's your relationship with the police there?
00:17:33.000Because wasn't there one viral video of an officer refusing to kind of go through with the order?
00:17:49.000And that was because we didn't want to blindside anybody.
00:17:52.000We knew a lot of people were going to show up and we didn't want to to put the town in a difficult position in any more of a difficult position than we were putting it in.
00:18:00.000So that video was actually from day one at right about 12 o'clock.
00:18:04.000They they walked up and that was the now retired police chief or captain captain.
00:18:28.000And Governor Murphy saw that video and 15 minutes later, the Attorney General Gerber Guo called the Kennedy County Prosecutor, or excuse me, the Kennedy County Prosecutor, who then called the Belmar Police Department and said, if you do not get in there and take action, we are going to furlough the entire Belmar Police Department for 60 days.
00:18:51.000And so the spineless Belmar cops came?
00:18:54.000So the second lieutenant, who is definitely a bootlicker, he was anxious to please Father Murphy, and came up and handed us our first of 80 summons.
00:19:07.000first. So before he showed up and issued the summons, did he go to Murphy's house to lick his feet?
00:19:13.000Out of all the Belmar, so we have a great relationship with the Belmar PD.
00:19:22.000Most of them before COVID were members of our gym.
00:19:25.000You know Belmar and you're familiar with the area, you know, it's it's a local blue-collar kind of middle-class area So our gym is full of these kind of people.
00:19:32.000They're full of cops firefighters You know active in and veteran military And it's a shame because they were put in a bad very bad position Most of them didn't want to be there from start and then as it started to escalate They were forced to do things that they didn't want to do.
00:19:57.000Several people were cited though, and fun fact, all of those citations are the only still existing COVID citations for any protesting during that time.
00:20:36.000They wouldn't have gotten rid of the police, they wouldn't have furloughed the department, if every single officer said, do it, furlough us.
00:20:42.000And then when you start getting phone calls, and they call for your head, you come knocking, give us a raise, whatever.
00:20:47.000I've seen it happen in numerous protests.
00:21:00.000If we had, you know, we've had too many good times.
00:21:04.000This past several decades have been good times all around.
00:21:07.000And you know, I think I see, in my opinion, what's going on is these cops, Many of them can see the suffering that your customers, that your business, the local business, are going through.
00:21:18.000And they can see the suffering of the middle-class, blue-collar worker who can't feed his kids anymore.
00:21:22.000And they think, I don't want to be like them.
00:21:36.000They could say, I will not oppress my community for a paycheck.
00:21:41.000And if at once, one person, two people, if all of these regular guys who are in the department just said, you're not going to get me to do it, because I go to that gym, they're going to get mad at me.
00:21:52.000I'm not going to be able to go out for beers with anybody anymore.
00:21:54.000Then they'd be like, sorry, Governor, we can't do it.
00:21:56.000You're going to have to bring in cops from a different city, because these guys won't do it.
00:21:59.000Instead, they just say, sure, whatever.
00:22:01.000And then they get... The other problem is, there's no penalty for the cops who violate the constitutional rights of individuals.
00:22:07.000The First Amendment doesn't have... They're protected.
00:22:11.000Right, we have a right to assemble for whatever reason.
00:22:14.000Ian, let's go assemble to play Magic the Gathering.
00:22:17.000The First Amendment doesn't say anything about why you can assemble, just that you can't.
00:22:22.000All it takes is for those cops to say, I won't violate the constitutional rights of these individuals, and then it would not happen.
00:23:01.000What's the slipper called that the mom waxed?
00:23:04.000Yeah, he was talking about how like, you know, what happens if you go against, you know, they hit you with the little slipper.
00:23:11.000You need something like a grandma to be like, young man, what are you doing?
00:23:16.000And have them be like, listen, it's not okay what you're doing to these people.
00:23:19.000But so long as the community says, thank you, officer, we respect what you're doing, they'll keep doing it.
00:23:25.000If you guys said, you do this, you're never welcome here again, they'd think twice.
00:23:28.000You're starting I think you're starting to actually see that you're starting to see the cops now get a lot of pressure from the right as frustration tends to mount.
00:23:38.000I think in the beginning of this it was the you know especially the right tends to be the thin blue line crowd.
00:23:45.000And that definitely seems to be at least wavering a little bit you know because people are getting more and more frustrated and they're saying You know, they've tried everything.
00:23:58.000They're doing, you know, they're trying to live their lives.
00:24:00.000They're trying to just not be bothered.
00:24:03.000And we're eight months in and there's still police officers who are going along with it.
00:24:07.000So people are, you're starting to get that sentiment where people are getting a lot less forgiving about, oh, you're just following orders.
00:24:14.000I think you're going to see more of it.
00:24:16.000You talked about some of these officers being ignorant, but I know a lot of police officers that I always say, not knowing the law is not an excuse for not following it.
00:24:25.000And they need to really understand here, this is so counterintuitive.
00:24:29.000We have these decrees by a Goldman Sachs executive, who is now governor, that is telling you, no gym, no small businesses, no working out.
00:24:56.000But, you know, and that's something that people are deprived of because of a Goldman Sachs executive saying, I know what's better for you, and they don't.
00:25:05.000Because if they did, they would have been talking about diet, nutrition, sleep, exercise.
00:25:11.000So what you brought up is something very important.
00:25:14.000These officers need to know that they're part of a larger problem that they need to realize, and they need family and friends to come together and shame them for doing the wrong thing and following people who are doing bad things.
00:25:26.000I agree, but I'll push back a little bit.
00:26:54.000Because we had this conversation and my thing is like, there's a problem with the culture.
00:26:58.000There's a problem with people refusing to hold them accountable.
00:27:01.000And, you know, for a long time, I think because the left irrationally attacked cops, with all the riots especially.
00:27:08.000Watching the Minneapolis Police Department be burned down and the cops running for their lives as, like, riders are storming the building and torching it.
00:27:15.000And then you have in Portland where they barricaded the front and back, so there was no way out, and then tried burning the building down with people inside of it.
00:27:21.000I can sympathize with those officers, like, dude, that's crazy.
00:27:24.000Yeah, I don't like it getting tickets either, you know, but...
00:27:28.000You don't burn a building out with people inside it because you're mad that they're giving fines to people they have quotas.
00:27:33.000But then the issue is, because of that, I see a lot of conservatives who are defensive of police who will say they're just doing their jobs.
00:27:40.000Now it's changing, though, where they threw the blue lives, the thin blue line flag on the ground and stomped on it, you know?
00:27:45.000Yeah, I mean, I've been speaking in D.C.
00:27:48.000for all these past events and stuff, bringing in the small business aspect, and you're starting to see, especially D.C.
00:27:56.000at night when Antifa and the Proud Boys tend to go at it, neither side is very appreciative of the cops being there.
00:28:04.000You have the leftist chant that all cops are bad, and then you have Basically the right side saying, you know, why are you protecting these people?
00:28:16.000Or, you know, and, and what, or why are you defending the, you know, the Antifa?
00:28:21.000You know, why, why are you, why are you holding us back?
00:28:23.000And they're, they're getting increasingly frustrated and I, I don't see it going anywhere except in that same direction in a downward spiral where they're going to be pitted between everybody.
00:28:33.000I you know I I think it's it's there's a lot of tribalism here and I think you know like
00:28:40.000we're just saying you know a lot of a lot of people on the right were very defensive
00:28:44.000It was a cold wake up call when the conservatives are the ones getting arrested and smacked
00:28:49.000down and you know I've seen a lot of peaceful legitimate leftist protests.
00:28:54.000I like how they say, you know, like, 93% of all the protests were peaceful, and it's like, okay, okay, I get it.
00:28:59.000No, but there were a lot, in my day, I've seen peaceful protests, I've seen the cops strike first.
00:29:04.000I've seen, you know, a cop walk up to a crowd of people in Ferguson and throw a flashbang at them for no reason.
00:29:09.000There was no order, there was no, nobody cared, and they just started this, and all of a sudden, boom, everyone went crazy, and people were running and screaming, and then looters started looting in the chaos.
00:29:28.000Instead, we get a very extremist left view that all cops everywhere always are bad.
00:29:32.000Burn down all the buildings, which is insane.
00:29:35.000And then on the right, you get this overwhelming forgiveness.
00:29:38.000I'm worried about what's going to happen when police have no support and we actually get a defund the police movement that has no resistance.
00:29:43.000Because I can't see conservatives being like, I'm going to keep sticking up for these people after my business was destroyed.
00:29:49.000You know, eventually the last one will come out.
00:29:50.000No, you're gonna lose support from every side and then these same politicians who have been chanting defund the police are gonna have absolutely no opposition to it because all rational thinking is just gonna go out the window because everybody's emotional at that point and then the politicians are gonna do what they do best and take advantage of a situation where people are pitted against each other and they get to do whatever they wanted to do anyway.
00:30:10.000You see what happened in Minneapolis after they voted to defund the police?
00:30:55.000Maybe upstate New York, but in New York City, the mayor, without any approval, painted a political slogan in the street, got a bunch of NYPD to protect it and actually arrest those who opposed it.
00:31:08.000And now they're lining up in front of bars, blocking people from walking into a building, doing something similar to what you guys did.
00:31:13.000Opening, you know, but not selling stuff, doing donations.
00:31:49.000There's no statutory law by which he can do this.
00:31:53.000In fact, it flies in the face of the Constitution.
00:31:55.000And every time him, Murphy, Whitmer, you know, Wolf, when they do these things and then lose in the courts, they just, well, I'll do another one.
00:32:28.000You know, we got a lot to complain about in terms of the destruction of the economy, but, uh, well, something's happening in Europe, which is quite a bit different.
00:32:37.000Germany is going to be placing people who break quarantine into detainment camps.
00:32:44.000Into either refugee camps or detention centers.
00:32:57.000They need to wait until everyone else decides.
00:33:00.000No, no, no, at no point should we be setting up internment camps for things like this.
00:33:04.000When you get to the point where you're like, we're gonna set up a relocation facility, like, you gotta stop and reflect on what it is you're doing.
00:33:10.000Alright, cause, what's really funny about this story, let me show you this story, this is from Telegraph.
00:33:14.000Germans who keep refusing to quarantine could be put in detention centers under new COVID rules.
00:33:19.000In some German states where all other options have been tried, authorities to detain those who refuse to enter quarantine.
00:33:26.000So they mentioned there's a couple different states like eastern state of Saxony, where hospitals have been struggling to cope with one of the worst outbreaks.
00:33:32.000They have confirmed plans to hold quarantine breakers in a fenced off section of a refugee camp.
00:35:27.000But another thing you have to realize is that the CDC, the World Health Organization, they keep contradicting themselves non-stop, 24-7.
00:35:35.000They told us that there was no human-to-human transmission, no transmission through air, they flip-flop on the mask, they flipped out on so many things it's very hard to understand what they're saying.
00:35:45.000Now, another thing to really kind of really consider here, and it's kind of worrisome, especially the news in Germany, because they're really pushing this forward, but one of the things that they say is that this is going to be specifically for rule breakers.
00:36:09.000A lot of them have shown to have no actual effect on stopping the sickness.
00:36:15.000The lockdowns have been found, in some instances, to actually hurt more people than help people.
00:36:20.000I gotta tell you, man, for the people listening, just Google search a picture of Murphy, Governor Murphy of New Jersey, and I can tell you.
00:37:33.000When I heard the story of the cop who came up, when you were mentioning he said, you're all in violation of executive order, that being said, have a nice day.
00:37:40.000I'm sure he got so mad, like, how dare you?
00:37:58.000I have CDC.gov right here, and they say, Interim operational considerations for implementing the shielding approach to prevent COVID-19 infections in humanitarian settings.
00:38:18.000Current evidence indicates that older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe illness.
00:38:25.000In most humanitarian settings, older population groups make up a small percentage of the total population.
00:38:31.000For this reason, the shielding approach suggests physically separating high-risk individuals from the general population to prioritize the use of the limited available resources and avoid implementing long-term containment measures among the general population.
00:38:47.000They're saying we'll take the people who could get sick and we'll remove them from urban areas and population centers because we don't want to inconvenience the general population.
00:38:58.000Now hold on, I did say protect the vulnerable, allow everyone to work.
00:39:03.000I just don't like the idea of physically removing people from areas.
00:39:10.000Yeah, I'm talking about just like having a building where it's like a sign on the door saying at risk for COVID and then having special precautions like you put the package down, they clean it before bringing it in.
00:39:19.000Not taking the people out of the building.
00:39:21.000Yeah, you could put like a symbol on their door.
00:39:23.000Yeah, that's that's something that hasn't been tried in Nazi Germany.
00:39:43.000I think if you're going to single people out for an invisible disease, a virus that we think is out there, and then stuff them in concentration camps, then we're looking at 21st century genocide.
00:39:53.000We're looking at World War III, and we're declaring it on ourselves.
00:39:57.000Have you guys seen that movie Songbird?
00:40:21.000So, no, I just pulled up the New York State Senate, Assembly Bill A-416.
00:40:25.000Now first, let me just say, it's only in committee.
00:40:28.000The bill was introduced, it is in committee, it's not on the floor calendar, it has not passed the Senate or the Assembly, has not gone to the Governor, and has not been signed.
00:40:39.000But this bill basically says, and look, it pertains to the removal and detention of cases, contacts, and carriers who are or may be a danger to public health, other orders.
00:40:52.000Provisions of the section shall be utilized in the event that the governor declares a state of health emergency due to an epidemic of any communicable disease.
00:41:20.000And you press the button and you cut through the bread.
00:41:22.000We're getting one of those by the way.
00:41:24.000So let's, let's, let's say that you get, you get one of those carving knives, you know, then someone shoots up your door and it's a little Cuomo.
00:41:31.000And he's like, you were in contact with a box from someone who is sick.
00:41:39.000Therefore you may be a danger and they'll detain you.
00:41:44.000Gets COVID, everyone on the mail route now.
00:41:47.000Well, the thing you got to understand here is that the language here is very generalized.
00:41:53.000It's done like that many times because the government could then look at this little piece of paper and say, well, we could interpret this any which way we want.
00:42:00.000And probably because of some privacy or HIPAA laws, you won't even know if it's the mailman or if it's somebody else.
00:42:09.000And the thing that's really kind of scary here, Is that everything about COVID has been almost political, whether it's the alcohol stores, the gambling, the Walmarts, Costco, BLM protests, the lockdowns, the selective politicking of this entire scenario.
00:42:28.000We have seen it bastardized and used and abused for political power to the highest extent.
00:42:33.000What makes you think that this higher authority, that this government is demanding from you, that it won't corrupt them to use it and abuse it against other political enemies?
00:43:14.000And the cops are the ones shutting you down.
00:43:16.000What if you just said, hey, Black Lives Matter, do you want to have an event here?
00:43:20.000Black Lives Matter got very upset with me because the local Black Lives Matter in the Philadelphia, South Jersey area contacted me and told me that I needed to put a black square on my profile.
00:44:33.000Like, you'll come down to my gym, we'll open up, you guys will protest, and then I'll pull out my phone, and I'll do it, and we'll high-five.
00:45:26.000So there's a video from months ago where the Boogaloo boys wearing their Hawaiian shirts and tactical vests and guns are marching around with Black Lives Matter.
00:45:34.000And then Antifa, this is a crazy video, there's Antifa on the left, Boogaloo boys on the right.
00:45:40.000And the Antifa guy shakes the hand of the Boogaloo boy and says, I know we don't agree, but you stood with us today, and for that, we respect you.
00:45:47.000And the Boogaloo boy says, we agree with you, man, we agree with you completely.
00:45:51.000We just, we all, we don't like the government, so I think that's where we can start.
00:46:24.000They say only a few dozen gun rights activists converge in the Virginia State Capitol on Monday for an annual demonstration that typically draws thousands with this year's protests dampened by tensions in the wake of the January 6th siege in the Capitol.
00:46:36.000Now, I'm not entirely sure they're right about this.
00:46:38.000Sometimes what happens with these news stories when they talk about these events, this was published on at 6 15 a.m.
00:46:44.000We actually have this tweet from Ryan Devereaux from 5.37pm, where you can clearly see there's Black Panthers out there, there's Proud Boys, and there's Boogaloo Boys.
00:46:54.000And the interesting thing about it is, Ryan Devereaux tweets, The Proud Boys dismissed the Boog as anarchists.
00:46:58.000Boogaloo boy call a passing group of Proud Boys quote boot-licking statist
00:47:03.000cucks the Proud Boys dismissed the boog as anarchists the original Black Panther
00:47:08.000party just seemed happy to be there so I guess look there there I don't know if
00:47:54.000But, I mean, we're rapidly approaching that point where the whole system is just broken.
00:47:59.000Like, we're just gonna have to throw the whole thing out.
00:48:02.000Well, this group is definitely interesting because it's hard to kind of nail them down.
00:48:12.000Just a few months ago, the mainstream media was talking about them being right-wing extremists, but they are hypercritical of Donald Trump.
00:48:19.000They are hypercritical of government officials.
00:48:22.000We saw in one particular state, one of the Boogaloo Boys had a trans flag, another person stood next to and was with a Black Lives Matter person, and it looked like they were all together.
00:48:32.000But another thing we really have to understand here, a lot of this is overhyped by the mainstream media, because if you remember just a few days ago, we were hearing news reports, FBI warnings, total fear-mongering, paranoia, massive armed rallies happening this weekend all throughout the United States and all the major capitals, and what did we get?
00:49:22.000And it's the opposite of everything that we've been hearing on the mainstream media about how there's a bloodbath coming, and there's still fear-mongering about this at the U.S.
00:49:30.000That literally, I don't know why no one's talking about this, but it looks like the Washington, D.C.
00:49:34.000is literally under occupation right now, and no one's trying to even talk about green zones and police checkpoints and what in the world is happening in the center of the United States.
00:50:14.000There's so much... This is what I did a video on today, specifically on the We Are Change channel, about this active national security fear paranoia state.
00:50:36.000But we're still being told by the mainstream media that there's going to be hell to pay.
00:50:41.000Those 25,000 National Guardsmen all are being vetted to make sure that they don't support Donald Trump too much.
00:50:48.000They're literally doing loyalty tests right now.
00:50:50.000There were some reports that the Democrats wanted to make sure that any of the, like the National Guard who voted for Trump, they'd vet or remove.
00:50:59.000This originally came out from a congressman demanding this, and now Schumer and Pelosi officially came out saying, we want the DOD to vet everyone there, and we have the acting defense security chief coming out and saying, there's no threat of an insider attack like we've been hearing on the mainstream media again.
00:51:16.000But I mean specifically, like, Are the Democrats saying, we want to know who voted for Trump?
00:51:20.000Or are they saying, we want security assessments?
00:51:22.000Because I heard reports that they were concerned about National Guardsmen who voted Trump as the starting point to actually look into their backgrounds.
00:51:31.000And that Nancy Pelosi came out and I think said that.
00:51:34.000And then they also requested, and I don't know if it ever went through, but I know that somebody from Congress requested that, I think it was Nancy Pelosi as well, that they be unarmed.
00:51:55.000but this is this is what do you mean twenty five thousand on our yeah who
00:51:57.000sent them no no but this is weird this is weird why are there twenty five thousand
00:52:02.000soldiers in dc anyway who put in there was at the democrats are nancy pelosi
00:52:06.000saying were worried about this is that them
00:52:09.000and disarm them i don't think she's the one who put in there
00:52:12.000and the democrats the one who who demanded twenty five thousand
00:52:16.000is this well there's a though where i i was in a plane
00:52:20.000The way I heard it explained is just another vague term saying these are federally mandated soldiers that were sent there by the federal government.
00:52:38.000But my understanding is that it's the acting secretary of defense who deploys the federal National Guard in the D.C., you know, in the federal jurisdiction.
00:53:43.000I mean, he got the most votes of any president.
00:53:45.000Well, another thing to really consider here is that before the raid on the Capitol, we had warnings from the FBI, the NYPD, the Capitol Police, that something major was going to happen at the Capitol.
00:55:33.000And we needed to because what would have happened if they weren't there?
00:55:36.000More money, more security, more spying, etc.
00:55:39.000You know what it looks like to me, like the start of a police state where there's a constant level of fear, like you were just talking about in the media, where there's always some impending doom upon you.
00:55:55.000So you have to listen to what the government says.
00:55:59.000There's always some restriction on movement.
00:56:04.000That you have to be defended against and what a way to kick off four years of that with 25,000 troops in the nation's capital in an unprecedented rollout of military force during an inauguration where nobody is going to show up.
00:56:19.000You know, I've mentioned this a million times, so for those that are listening, forgive me, but I want to say it for you, Ian, because we never talked about it, that what people don't realize when it comes to staging a coup, they imagine it'll be like a movie where there's going to be Trump going, order the troops to stop Biden, make me president, and the troops just listen.
00:56:36.000When in reality, a coup actually looks very simple.
00:56:39.000It's not that the soldiers have any idea what's going on.
00:56:41.000It would just be their commanding officer or the Pentagon saying, hey, go surround the White House, lock it down, there's some security threats.
00:56:48.000If Donald Trump wanted to stage a military coup and use the military to seize power and stop the inauguration, they wouldn't tell the National Guard to do that.
00:56:56.000They would tell them, stand here and don't let anyone pass.
00:57:24.000And that's what a lot of the officers are doing.
00:57:26.000There's a meme going around that I tweeted right now that I think hits the nail on the head with our conversation here, and it shows all the troops sleeping together in the Capitol, not social distancing, and the headline is, if 25,000 troops can do this, you can do this, and below it is a picture of four people having a nice meal at a restaurant.
00:57:45.000So I think that's another thing that people really need to kind of understand here.
00:57:49.000If we're going through this huge pandemic, we're going through this huge health scare, why is the government punishing you for trying to be in a gym or in a restaurant?
00:57:59.000Meanwhile, there's so many troops sleeping on a marble floor.
00:58:02.000Why would the government risk the National Guard during a pandemic?
00:59:33.000Another thing to consider is if you're in the military, your commanding officers and your politicians don't give a damn about you.
00:59:39.000And if they tell you to sleep on the marble floor surrounded by hundreds of people during a pandemic, you're going to do it because you're going to do what you're told.
00:59:47.000And I think I just saw today that finally there were some cots delivered, but most of them are still sleeping and using the few limited restrooms inside of the Capitol building.
00:59:58.000I mean, imagine being a soldier and just like, yep, you're going to be inside the Capitol for what?
01:00:03.000This paranoia, this fear that's, again, totally made up.
01:00:09.000When they had the security threats, they didn't listen to them.
01:00:12.000Now there's no security threats according to them officially, but yet we're still going through this huge security theater in order to... I think it's a larger virtual signal for the bigger police state that they're trying to boast about in everyone's face.
01:01:01.000I'm just kind of weirded out by the whole thing, man.
01:01:04.000We're all going to be watching, or we're all supposed to be watching this inauguration, and you're going to see this military-style inauguration, this police state, totalitarian, like, it just, it screams Orwell.
01:01:18.000It's very, it's very, very, very peculiar.
01:01:20.000And the crazy part is the media just, just ratchets the fear.
01:01:25.000We get no explanation as to why we get the only information that we get are from the few journalists who actually put some good stuff out, but it's just be afraid and shut up.
01:01:32.000The mainstream media showing no apprehension against an actual police state an actual lockdown an actual you know checkpoints set up green zone set up the militarization of the cities of the of the entire country's capital and yet no muckraking no real journalism no.
01:01:49.000No questions. No questions about it at all. That's another thing that that has you thinking because they were warning
01:01:55.000they were screaming about fascism about totalitarianism coming under Donald Trump, but now it's
01:02:01.000coming in as it looks very symbolically under Joe Biden right in front of our face and they're marching around
01:02:08.000locking everything down the barbed wire set up like they're literally about to face a horde of zombies.
01:02:15.000It's like watching Day Z happening right now. It's like that's what they're preparing for. I don't know. Maybe
01:02:21.000there's something else happening that we don't know about.
01:02:24.000But I think this is a larger virtue signal.
01:02:26.000I think this is them saying, look at us, look how powerful we are, don't mess with us because we have all these police officers, all these National Guard that will do whatever we tell them to do and they will back us and you can't fight us because of look how many soldiers we have behind us.
01:02:42.000Which is a perfect follow-up to the Capitol.
01:02:46.000Which is like, you know, they had this little incident at the Capitol that they've blown hugely out of proportion based on a lot of half-truths and misinformation.
01:02:55.000And then now they turn around a couple weeks later and say, try it again.
01:02:58.000It's like you tickled the nose of the dragon and the whole body was flailing.
01:03:02.000Like, they went in and they got the Congress people.
01:05:29.000Let's call it out, you know, however you may want to call it out.
01:05:32.000But when we're looking at everything, this is just security theater in a hyperbolic response to it that is definitely disproportionate, to say the least, from my own personal opinion.
01:05:44.000The question is, who sent the armed guards there?
01:05:47.000The Democrats do it because they genuinely believe it's a threat, or they want the optics.
01:05:51.000Well, they seem to be kind of upset by it.
01:05:52.000And the National Guard follows the orders of Trump, for now.
01:06:07.000Just before even coming on the show, I saw a friend that was flying into D.C., and she talked about how after coming out of the TSA, she had to go through two Other personal screenings.
01:06:19.000They looked through all of her personal possessions in her bags and there was police officers literally at the gate watching everyone come in.
01:06:26.000So the security for even flying into Washington DC is absolutely utterly ridiculous.
01:06:33.000So again, no threat as so far that we know of that's legitimate.
01:06:50.000Biden blocks Trump's bid to lift ban on visitors from the UK, Brazil, and Europe, and says he will strengthen travel restrictions, dashing hopes of millions who haven't been able to fly to the U.S.
01:08:06.000CNN segment discusses removing conservative media and forcing everyone into the, quote, same conceptual reality.
01:08:13.000In this segment with Brian Stelter and Reliable Sources, a former Facebook, I think he's a Facebook executive, says that they need to basically treat conservatives like they did ISIS and start isolating and removing them.
01:08:24.000My favorite quote is when this guy says, there are people on YouTube, for example, that have a larger audience than daytime CNN.
01:08:41.000I'm pretty sure The overwhelming majority of career YouTube channels get better ratings than CNN.
01:08:48.000Like, I'm sure, okay, there's a lot of small YouTube channels, but if you have, oh geez, if you have a couple hundred thousand subscribers on YouTube, you're probably doing better than CNN in the key demo.
01:08:58.000And if you're a channel with a million subs or more, you're definitely... So, it's basically every single channel.
01:09:06.000I'm pretty sure, like, Kyle Kulinski, Jimmy Dore, and David Pakman are beating CNN.
01:09:10.000But CNN's not targeting the left channels.
01:09:13.000They're targeting the right-wing channels.
01:09:15.000CNN... I don't want to call the guy a reporter.
01:09:18.000Oh, resident extremist zealot Oliver Darcy is reaching out to cable providers to get Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax banned from their networks, from the cable subscriptions.
01:11:49.000They're not giving them any remedy to these oppressive measures.
01:11:54.000And then eventually, like you said, if you remove people, you're going to create this vacuum Where something else forms and usually in that in that case is something ugly.
01:12:05.000And you're going to start to radicalize people.
01:12:25.000So, again, for those that have heard me talk about it on my other channels, Darcy interviewed me several years ago when I said banning the alt-right for their opinions is dangerous.
01:12:34.000Free speech means even the speech we don't like.
01:12:37.000This guy working for Business Insider was like, what an interesting thought.
01:12:54.000Since that four years ago when he interviewed me, he's now the cheerleader Most high profile, like the highest profile activist, extremist, trying to get private companies that can do whatever they want to ban access to certain news channels he doesn't like.
01:13:11.000So it's not that the people in the middle have become extreme, it's that Oliver Darcy shot so far left, from his point of view, there's a bunch of far-right extremists far right from him.
01:13:20.000And he's too radicalized to realize that he's the one who's been pushed to the extreme.
01:13:28.000They're taking a hard left, and in doing so, these people that are regular, normal, everyday people who fall moderate right or even moderate left, now, in order to defend your position, right, because in politics we always tend to compromise, in order to defend that position, they have to pull hard to the right or they're going to lose ground.
01:13:51.000You know, because if you start compromising with somebody who's going far left
01:13:55.000and you're still arguing the middle road, you're going to wind up...
01:14:46.000I think Oliver Darcy is doing God's work.
01:14:49.000I think all information should be conformed and unified by special interest talking points by the richest people in our society who know what's best for us.
01:14:59.000And I think it's great that they already on YouTube are promoted in the algorithm.
01:15:03.000When you search news, you see them first.
01:15:06.000The next video that usually plays is them, whatever you're watching.
01:15:10.000I think it's great that they have this unfair market competition since they know what's best for you.
01:15:14.000And where would we all be if it wasn't for CNN's top article today on CNN politics about... I'm not kidding you, this is the headline here.
01:15:24.000CNN released an article saying, this is Joe Biden's Inauguration party playlist that you're gonna play for your inauguration party.
01:15:46.000I don't know about the one you had from today, but I do have Joe Biden and Kamala Harris drop a playlist for your inauguration watch party.
01:16:26.000Let's say it's like a giant, it's an asteroid or meteor about to hit the Earth, and when it does, the sky will burst into flames, and you'll have three minutes left to live as you watch the fireball coming towards you.
01:16:39.000Would you rather watch and know what's happening, or would you rather be chilling in your basement, headphones on, playing Skyrim or something?
01:17:16.000A lot of people would be like, no, I'll take the blue pill.
01:17:19.000I can't do the head in the sand thing.
01:17:20.000It's part of why this this COVID in the food supply thing is driving me insane.
01:17:24.000Because I think that it's it's a hard cognitive dissonance for people to think that maybe the animal fat that they're eating, the meat and the cheese and the cream, the milk is going to contain that stuff or hyper exacerbate its growth in your system.
01:17:38.000And Dear God, don't stick your head in the sand.
01:17:43.000Yeah, well, they want to keep you afraid.
01:17:44.000They want to keep you in a state where you're at a low vibrational kind of energetic field where you're always panicking, always freaking out.
01:17:52.000And when you're in that kind of highly emotional state, you're very easily to be manipulated.
01:17:57.000You're very easily able to be controlled by other people coming in and saying, I have the perfect solution.
01:18:19.000And there's going to be more division pushed on by the mainstream media that wants to keep you in this fear state of the average common man.
01:18:26.000They want you afraid of your neighbor.
01:18:27.000And another thing that I wanted to address when you guys were talking before about this larger division issue, the Washington Post literally released a piece about multiracial whiteness.
01:18:38.000trying to explain how people of color voted for and supported Donald Trump.
01:18:47.000They're making up new terms to represent whiteness which is again just in their lexicon right now that they use as a little piñata that they beat the crap out of since they get candy out of because so many few people are afraid to stand up for each other and they're getting
01:19:03.000away with this essentially because of our acquiescence and our participation in the fear and hatred
01:19:08.000of one another. Listen, what's so insidious about that article is that what they're doing with saying
01:19:15.000multi-racial whiteness is that whiteness represents negative traits of people. Which has been going
01:19:23.000It's been going on for a long time, but what they're doing is they're saying these negative behaviors are inherent to white people, and non-white people can have these behaviors too.
01:21:46.000There's no white supremacist conspiracy going on.
01:21:49.000It's not real, but they live in a paranoid, delusional state and the media props it up.
01:21:54.000There's probably, there's a class conspiracy where people, very wealthy people want to stay wealthy and they're okay with leaving poor people poor.
01:22:02.000Well, it's, it's always been about that, but they, they, and then they, they bring the racism element in to keep the lower socioeconomic statuses fighting amongst each other instead of looking at where the actual problem, because the only oppression is socioeconomic oppression. You know, in this country,
01:22:18.000yeah, of course, you're going to have your outliers, but the majority of people don't experience
01:22:41.000And they convinced people that somehow this is justified, which is absolutely ridiculous, it's insane, and it's driving us down a slippery slope where we are fighting each other instead of realizing the bigger picture right in front of us.
01:22:53.000Well, it was conveniently around Occupy Wall Street.
01:23:48.000I think it's more a generational thing.
01:23:50.000I don't think it was necessarily like a rich guy snapped his fingers and said, you know, aha, identity politics is the solution.
01:23:55.000I think it's that this millennial, younger millennial generation have been raised into this cult, probably influenced very heavily by colleges.
01:24:06.000And now they believe an insane cult-like dogma that doesn't make sense at all.
01:24:11.000In the Middle East war, man, they tried to make us afraid of brown people with this stupid Muslim attack in the Middle East.
01:24:17.000It was all about, let's go after the Muslims.
01:24:21.0009-11, the Afghans, Iraq, it's the Muslims.
01:26:51.000Affirmative action is not that someone who's not qualified is getting a job.
01:26:56.000They would give it based on race and not qualifications.
01:26:58.000They would move down the list of qualified people until they found a certain race.
01:27:04.000There are certain quotas that haven't been met.
01:27:09.000In doing that, you open up the possibility that you will skip somebody who is more qualified because you have a quota to meet.
01:27:19.000It's a side effect of what's a good... I mean, I think that policy comes from a good place, but it's one of those things that it sounds better as an idea and you can't execute it without... Well, look, the path to hell is paved with good intentions, you know?
01:28:19.000The end of slavery wasn't the end of the problems, because the South, after the Civil War, didn't want to be occupied by the North.
01:28:28.000So they did everything in their power to obstruct the 13th, 14th, 15th Amendments, the right to vote.
01:28:34.000There absolutely was tons of racist policies all the way up into Jim Crow and the Civil Rights era.
01:28:39.000Now that was all the Democrats, mind you, which is kind of funny, and now the same political party that pushed racism is pushing racism again today.
01:28:48.000Do you think we'll get past, and maybe this is kind of an open question, that we'll get past the racism?
01:28:54.000When we stop listening to politicians, yeah.
01:28:56.000I think your average everyday person doesn't give a shit what color you are.
01:29:01.000I think that's a pretty broad statement, but I think that applies to most people.
01:29:04.000And I think the fairest statement ever said about Trump was that he doesn't care whether you're white, black, Latino, gay, straight, he cares if you can make him money.
01:29:13.000To clarify, you said ship, like, you know, a vessel on the water.
01:29:21.000But it's too much, race is too much of an effective divider by the elites that's been working for them very well.
01:29:29.000And as you said, if people stop paying attention to all the people pushing it on us and actually being racist, I think then it could finally work.
01:29:37.000And I think there's a very small window, but It's one of the biggest effective battering rams against the populations from actually realizing that they have a lot more in common than they don't.
01:29:48.000Could we potentially end on a positive note and talk about what's happening in Tunisia, Holland, and Denmark with all the protests, as well as the bigger movements in Italy and Poland?
01:29:59.000Well, on a positive note, showing that, you know, in Italy and Poland, there's people coming together and saying, enough of these lockdowns.
01:30:05.000We're going to open up in unison where there's too many of us, where you can't shut us all down.
01:30:11.000And regarding what's happening in Denmark, there's been a lot of protest against the lockdowns that are huge but yet have not garnered a lot of media attention
01:30:23.000which is why I think we should talk about them on a kind of lighter more positive note
01:30:36.000Well because look even if we want to be positive on what's going on with COVID, the story we
01:30:39.000have here from DW about Tunisia, 600 people arrested, the army has been deployed after
01:30:47.000These people are frustrated over what's going on with the lockdowns, and so they're coming out, and the state's coming out and beating them.
01:31:13.000But there's a crackdown from the state across the board, and I don't know if we have any reason to believe that they're going to give in to the demands of these angry individuals.
01:31:23.000And I think when we see these issues, we have to cover them honestly and fairly.
01:31:28.000So maybe my wording wasn't the best in that particular instance and involved a lot of personal stuff from what I've seen throughout last year and what's unfolding this year.
01:31:38.000But talking about your story, you're still kicking.
01:32:26.000It was mainly conservatives, libertarians, you know, constitutionalists.
01:32:33.000That support, as this has gone on, has intensified with those people, but also broadened.
01:32:40.000The people, you know, when we first opened, who just really weren't interested in the story, or didn't think it was that important at the time, started to get involved.
01:32:49.000And then, as this has continued to draw out, we've gotten a lot of support from people who are typically moderate lefts, and even people who identify a little bit, you know, harder to the left.
01:34:06.000And that is just continuing to grow and grow and grow to where I think it's scary because I think we're going to see more of that that you're seeing in Tunisia where people are going to start hitting their capacity for being pushed around.
01:34:22.000And you can only say, please, Mr. Politician, let me open my business.
01:34:26.000Please, Mr. Politician, let me go back to work.
01:34:29.000Please, Mr. Politician, I need a stimulus check more than $600.
01:34:32.000Please, Mr. Politician, don't send $700 billion overseas.
01:34:37.000Before people start getting increasingly frustrated, and that's a Pandora's box.
01:34:44.000You're going to open something where Change is going to happen one way or another, and it's probably not going to be a smooth change.
01:34:54.000You're going to see some bumpy occurrences during that, but I think the people who are frustrated are in the right, and I think that they do have a right to be, and I wish that there was a better way to settle it.
01:35:06.000I wish everybody would just do what they're doing in Italy.
01:35:21.000And if everybody does that, and doesn't get extreme, and doesn't get violent, and doesn't get destructive, then we win.
01:35:28.000And it is that simple, because there aren't enough jail cells, there aren't enough sheriffs, there aren't enough handcuffs, there aren't enough squad cars for everybody, and it's a house of cards.
01:35:49.000There was a fruit vendor who was being just harassed by cops, told he couldn't sell his fruit, they would confiscate his fruit, and he just wanted to run his little fruit vendor business, but they wouldn't let him.
01:36:02.000So one day he went in front of a government building and he lit himself on fire.
01:36:05.000And then the whole country, this is Tunisia, erupted into mass rioting, which swept across North Africa into the Middle East.
01:36:14.000I think it's fair to say what we're going through right now is sort of a information war or a larger consensus war.
01:36:27.000And once you lose hope, you essentially lose.
01:36:30.000That's why I'm always personally cheering on the underdog and maybe that's why I'm not unbiased.
01:36:35.000It is a biased perspective where I come from sometimes, but at least I acknowledge it.
01:36:40.000And I think more of us should be willing to do that, especially when it comes to calling these larger things that are happening right now, because information is key and it could lead to a lot of amazing, incredible developments.
01:36:52.000But once you try to censor, once you try to close down this kind of wider highway of speech, that's really when we get into very troubling territories of people using and abusing it against the weakest.
01:37:06.000And that's why when you're doing something that's helping people get healthy, helping people work out, get in a position where their immune system is activated, and then you're the one that's being targeted?
01:37:21.000You're the one that they're trying to take down?
01:37:23.000And I know they took away your money, but there's also, I don't know if you want to get into this or talk about this, there's also other alternatives with cryptocurrencies.
01:37:32.000I don't know if you want to personally talk about that or not, and I respect your decision either way.
01:37:37.000It's this whole thing has been just a game of kind of staying on our feet.
01:37:42.000You know, it's when you take on City Hall, it's a 12 round fight and it's it's it's the 12 round Rocky story where you're going to get your face bashed in for 11 rounds straight.
01:37:51.000And all you got to do is stay on your feet long enough to get to the end to where you inspire enough people and you've made enough of a splash and an impact That it's a domino effect, and you get to the end, because all it takes is that, you know, in the rock store, it takes that one, you know, bob and weave, and that one good punch, and you can take the whole thing down.
01:38:13.000But it's not falling into the traps that they're gonna set for you.
01:38:29.000And that's what happened at the Capitol.
01:38:33.000Whether we have all the details or not, and they'll use that against you.
01:38:37.000So you have to stay calm and you have to stay optimistic.
01:38:40.000So that's been my saving grace all the way through that.
01:38:43.000And I have a lot of people behind me who reinforce that quite a bit because it is a frustrating experience when you're dealing with somebody who is actively undermining and ruining your life,
01:38:54.000the best thing is to just continue to take the high road.
01:38:56.000And that's been our strategy all the way through.
01:38:59.000So crypto is just the next thing for us.
01:39:02.000You know, we've done everything we possibly can and we will continue to exhaust every single resource
01:39:09.000without stepping into that trap that they want.
01:39:12.000You know, so crypto has been a good option for us and it's gonna be the way we move forward in the future
01:39:17.000to protect ourselves from more oversight.
01:39:24.000But that being said, it's time for Super Chat.

01:40:18.000Now I just kind of troll and just post, you know, sarcasm and, you know, I'm facetious and stuff.
01:40:23.000But yeah, I'm tweeting less and less, and I'm probably just going to follow news organizations and slowly just not pay attention to it, because these companies are just off the rails, man.
01:40:32.000Yeah, you just kind of let those things rot out, I think.
01:40:35.000Let them run their course, and use them for whatever they're useful for in the meantime.
01:40:45.000Dr. Roller Gator says, two years since Vijaya and Jack told you they were going to work on their suspension policy, they have made no effort to fix it.
01:40:53.000They want to keep it broken, so they have arbitrary control.
01:43:39.000I saw one he did on Ahmed Aubrey, but that was about it.
01:43:41.000I know the media defames them, but I don't take the media at their word when they accuse someone of being whatever because they say the same thing about me or whatever.
01:43:47.000But in terms of Will of the People, for those who don't know, I have a music video.
01:46:53.000These people that are getting banned and having their freedom of speech taken away.
01:46:57.000I know they're private companies, but it seems like a violation of civil rights.
01:47:00.000The problem with a lot of that title U.S.
01:47:02.000Code is that, and we've had a lot of people approach us with that, where it's Constitutional law.
01:47:09.000You bring that in front of the courts and they don't listen.
01:47:13.000There's a wealth of information about it, but nobody knows how to execute it.
01:47:19.000And you walk this stuff into the courtroom and they'll dismiss it like it's nothing.
01:47:25.000I think the answer would be the courts are just corrupt to the core, honestly.
01:47:29.000Because they're civil courts and the Constitution stuff's federal, so they don't deal with it?
01:47:34.000It's administrative law versus constitutional law, and what we essentially, at least from my understanding, is that we operate on administrative law.
01:47:42.000And if you go in there citing these constitutional codes, which are valid, Um, the courts just pretend like they don't hear you, but I mean, this is, this is stuff that's solid.
01:47:54.000I mean, it's, and it's, it's, it's there for a reason to protect us against stuff like this, but it doesn't really seem to execute very well.
01:48:00.000Michael Lopez says these guys need a legal defense.
01:48:02.000Go fund me that the government can't touch.
01:48:04.000Maybe Tim and friends can set it up and accept the money and use it to pay the lawyer.
01:48:10.000Well, you guys have collected donations and you've, you've found a more secure way to collect.
01:48:15.000Yeah, we're just going to go two routes.
01:48:18.000The money that we get into our bank account, we'll take out in cash.
01:48:22.000We'll keep a nice, neat ledger for all of that, and we'll be writing cashier's checks for all of our bills.
01:48:28.000We'll just do it the old-fashioned way, and then people who want to contribute via crypto, and if we want to save some money and put it away, we'll put it into a crypto wallet or into the market.
01:48:38.000And we'll take it out when we need it.
01:49:12.000Any challenging task like that where you're forced to focus, you're forced to work very hard day in, day out, it teaches you a lot and you walk away with a lot mentally from that.
01:49:24.000Zanzibar says your chat is full of statist crybabies.
01:49:26.000They whine that you don't take a stand, but are here dismissing the boogboys that went out and did something, lol.
01:49:30.000vitamin d but that's another story and usually it's unhealthy people that are
01:49:34.000usually the mean people just saying. Zanzibar says your chat is full of
01:49:38.000statist crybabies they whine that you don't take a stand but are here
01:49:41.000dismissing the boog boys that went out and did something lol this is why our
01:49:45.000Republic is lost. Well we can we can rag I suppose to an extent on the boogaloo
01:49:50.000boys but it's true They went out and they protested.
01:49:54.000They did it peacefully, and they expressed themselves, and the one guy read his statement that left and right agree the extraction of, you know, the wealth, the working class, and all that stuff.
01:50:25.000So long as we keep arguing, like, Trump is the answer, no, Bernie's the answer, well then, you're the bad guy and we're gonna fight now, it's, well then, they're happy.
01:50:32.000We'll be chasing our tail forever, yeah.
01:50:33.000Yeah, yeah, the rich people, well, the powerful elites, I shouldn't say the rich people, because there's a lot of rich people who are totally oblivious, but the powerful elites, the ultra-wealthy.
01:50:42.000I don't even like calling them elite, because I feel like they're doing their job poorly.
01:52:32.000It looks like they cut and carved their way into the ocean, because the water was much higher back then, and created a channel to flood the ring, and then created an island paradise.
01:56:15.000Catoriously Wise says, Tim and Luke, I don't think multiracial whiteness is talking about white in terms of race.
01:56:21.000I think woke use white to mean individualism, classical liberalism.
01:56:25.000Sargon mentioned the existence of political white and black, with capital W and B, and the more I think about it, the more I think woke are trying to move political white from the extremists to classical liberals.
01:57:08.000See, all this stuff, it's very, very hard to, you know, I would love, if somebody wants to shoot me an email and break it down in like meathead terms, then I will be happy to execute that.
01:57:19.000You'll get a lot of people responding to you, but not a lot of meathead terms.
01:57:26.000Gareth Green says, Alpha Ian, are you single?
01:59:29.000So I've reduced the amount I've been producing because for like three years, I was doing six segments per day, which was three and a half hours.
01:59:38.000Then when we started this, I was doing a ridiculous amount of like four, four and a half hours.
01:59:45.000And all that conduct was me saying, I have to wake up, I have to do it, no matter what.
01:59:50.000There's no question, no offense or buts.
01:59:52.000And now, I'm, you know, trying to reprioritize, expand, and do that, so it's, you know, restructuring, but it really is just, you wake up, and don't give yourself an excuse.
01:59:59.000There's no excuse, you have no choice, you have to do it.
02:00:54.000I made the mistake of buying 9mm Makarov and not realizing it was a Soviet bullet that doesn't work in a standard 9mm Luger, and now I just have a bunch of boxes of Soviet bullets.
02:01:07.000Yeah, but I figure they're like it would be fun to have a Soviet, you know gun for target shooting or whatever So, you know, there's like one Polish firearm that shoots it We'll find it someone someone will super chat or if you have any ideas send me an email for some recommendations It was an accident, but I still think it's fun.
02:01:30.000I went on... I can't remember which website I was on, but I think... I think Cheaper Than Dirt, I'm not sure, has, like, 9mm for, like, $2 a bullet.
02:01:57.000I think that's a bear that you don't want to prod, but he's gonna prod it anyway Yes, this is the orders apparent like I was I was hearing from from this dude at a gun shop that all the ammo Companies are back ordered and paid for a year and a half worth of ammo.
02:02:10.000Yeah, they're they're producing Just to ship out like they're not even they're not producing to sell at this point.
02:02:16.000They're they're literally well just back ordered.
02:02:18.000Oh Yeah, a lot of the big companies are producing for the U.S.
02:05:10.000Let's see, Mr. Brownstone says, Luke, tell Teespring to restock 2XL in L slash S. You were telling me a lot of people are buying your 2XL stuff, too.
02:09:44.000I can microwave the hell out of some of this stuff.
02:09:46.000Well, once we, once we get, we're trying to get this big property where we can film fun stuff and make videos and do science experiments and lasers, and then we could have really fun experiment videos.
02:09:57.000But, man, it's really hard to do right these days.
02:10:31.000Yeah, watching all of this has definitely made me like, but I'm, I'm, I'm like, my whole life, I've been pretty, when I was a lot younger, I was very far left anarchist.
02:10:40.000And now I'm like moving closer to the center and moving up a little bit towards liberal because I'm like, we got to have some kind of system, but not in these blue states.
02:10:47.000There has to be, but it's the one we have is, is an absolute joke at this point.
02:10:52.000I'm talking to people out in the middle of nowhere, and they're just like, all these liberal transplants coming in, and I was like, I'm one of them!
02:10:59.000And they give me this look, and I'm like, don't worry, I'm not gonna vote.
02:11:57.000Well, if you haven't already, smash that like button, because it really, really does help.
02:12:01.000Subscribe, hit the notification bell, and if you really like the show, share it, because word of mouth is the only way we actually grow this show.
02:12:08.000If you tell people to watch it, and then they do, then they tell their friends, boom, bigger than CNN overnight.
02:12:13.000But don't forget to go to TimCast.com, become a member, because we will have more and more exclusive members-only content as the days progress.
02:12:20.000A lot of it might be, like, hanging out vlog content, behind-the-scenes stuff, and some of it will be special segments, like, you know, we had Richie here the other day, but he wasn't on the show, so I was like, come over and let's record something real quick, and we'll throw it up for members.
02:12:31.000And it also just keeps us alive on this show, like, functioning in the event censorship will eventually come for us.
02:12:37.000If we ever end up getting censored, we'll start putting up the videos on our own proprietary website and crossing our fingers that we can sustain the business if that were the case.
02:12:46.000But if you really do want to support the show, that's one way you can do it.
02:12:49.000And Ian, do you want to mention your social media or anything?
02:13:01.000It has been our most powerful weapon against what is happening to us is the exposure.
02:13:08.000We knew when we stood up that we were going to get punched in the face.
02:13:12.000We were okay with that so long as we could show the world what these people were doing and what extent they would go to in order to preserve their power.
02:14:38.000If you want to support me financially and my news organization, you can on wearechange.org forward slash donate.
02:14:46.000If you like the shirt I'm wearing and want to check out more of them, you can on wearechange.org forward slash shirts.
02:14:52.000But more than anything it's imperative you need to sign up on the email list on wearechange.org because that's the only way to really talk to you one-on-one without anyone standing in the way.
