Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Over 2,000 Southwest Flights Canceled, Pilot Mandate Revolt Rumored w-Tom Sauer

00:00:00.000 I think it's working.

00:00:17.000 We got a new studio.

00:00:18.000 And I just pressed the button and nothing changed.

00:00:20.000 And I'm like, okay, it's broken already.

00:00:21.000 No, it's working!

00:00:22.000 So we're streaming now at a substantially higher bitrate.

00:00:26.000 We're in a brand new studio.

00:00:26.000 This is crazy.

00:00:27.000 So the sound may be crazy and whatever.

00:00:30.000 You look, you just got to do it and we're going to do it.

00:00:32.000 And so we got some news, man.

00:00:33.000 You guys probably heard the big news was Southwest Airlines canceling over 2,000 flights, and the rumor was there was either an air traffic controller strike or a pilot strike.

00:00:43.000 Now, it's probably neither of those things.

00:00:46.000 It's something substantially worse.

00:00:48.000 I actually talked to a pilot.

00:00:50.000 Well, I should say someone who told me they were a pilot.

00:00:52.000 We're still, you know, investigating the story.

00:00:54.000 We're still getting statements and seeking to vet.

00:00:57.000 But I used to work for O'Hare.

00:00:59.000 I'm sorry.

00:00:59.000 I used to work for American Eagle Airlines at O'Hare Airport in Chicago.

00:01:02.000 So there's jargon, you know, this individual's telling me and I'm like, he's probably legit.

00:01:08.000 And he said there's no strike.

00:01:10.000 It's not a sick out or anything like that.

00:01:12.000 It's worse.

00:01:13.000 It's when you have vaccine mandates, people work as hard as they can work, and then all of a sudden they just reach their limit and say, I can't do this.

00:01:22.000 I'm calling in.

00:01:23.000 And so a lot of people may just be independently calling out, which is causing an airline collapse.

00:01:29.000 And that's worse, because we're seeing this with Biden's vaccine mandate.

00:01:31.000 We're seeing it across the board with the economy.

00:01:33.000 Shortages are getting worse.

00:01:35.000 And now they're warning us, for one, Fauci.

00:01:37.000 I don't even know if he's going to give us Christmas.

00:01:38.000 Maybe if we cross our fingers and ask him nicely, he'll say yes.

00:01:41.000 But now we're being told, you better go shopping now, because you're not going to be able to get those toys later on.

00:01:45.000 So we got to talk about this.

00:01:46.000 We got to talk about this Pentagon.

00:01:48.000 What was he, a Pentagon general?

00:01:51.000 Software.

00:01:52.000 Software engineer.

00:01:53.000 One of the first ones.

00:01:53.000 Saying that, yeah, we're absolutely behind in terms of cyber war.

00:01:56.000 Taiwan says they're gearing up for war.

00:01:59.000 There's a lot to talk about.

00:02:00.000 So that being said, we will try our best to make sure this new studio setup works.

00:02:05.000 But if you don't just roll with it, you'll never know where the bugs are going to be.

00:02:09.000 So we actually did a few test streams.

00:02:10.000 Everything seems to be good.

00:02:12.000 And joining us today to talk about all this is Tom Sauer and Colin Myers.

00:02:15.000 You guys want to introduce yourselves?

00:02:16.000 Yeah, thanks for having me on guys.

00:02:18.000 My name is Tom Sauer.

00:02:19.000 I'm a former Navy EOD officer, a bomb disposal officer, special operations bomb squad.

00:02:26.000 And also currently, my current line of work is I own a mental health and addiction treatment company primarily focused on veterans right now.

00:02:34.000 It's called the McArthur Group, but our main company is Miramar Recovery in Orange County, California.

00:02:41.000 And one of my partners in all this is my Naval Academy classmate and good friend, Colin Myers.

00:02:47.000 Tom and I were classmates.

00:02:47.000 Thanks, Tom.

00:02:49.000 Graduated Naval Academy back in 2006.

00:02:51.000 Yep.

00:02:51.000 I went on to be a submarine officer and then was dealing with communications after that.

00:02:57.000 And finally, I joined forces here with Tom at Miramar Recovery.

00:03:00.000 Right on.

00:03:00.000 Well, we got a full house tonight because we got Luke here as well.

00:03:04.000 I mean, this studio's freaking incredible.

00:03:06.000 Can we do a wide shot?

00:03:07.000 The wide shot is pretty cool.

00:03:09.000 I can't.

00:03:10.000 Hold on.

00:03:10.000 We'll do it later.

00:03:11.000 We'll do it later.

00:03:11.000 All right.

00:03:12.000 But I also brought in some art from my trailer right behind me.

00:03:17.000 It says, We Don't Dial 9-1-1.

00:03:19.000 I got that in Florida, of course.

00:03:21.000 And he has a sword.

00:03:22.000 And a sword, you know.

00:03:26.000 I'm just your local parking lot vagrant.

00:03:32.000 I guess I've been called here.

00:03:33.000 I don't know what that means, but they're calling me a vagrant here.

00:03:36.000 I'm also a humble t-shirt vendor.

00:03:38.000 And if you like the t-shirt I'm wearing, like the one that I'm wearing right now that says, if you could question it, it's science.

00:03:43.000 If it's not, it's propaganda.

00:03:45.000 You could get your own exclusively at TheBestPoliticalShirts.com.

00:03:49.000 TheBestPoliticalShirts.com.

00:03:50.000 Thanks for having me.

00:03:51.000 Hey, also, real quick, I want to point out all this new artwork here.

00:03:54.000 If you guys are looking for new artwork, there's a really cool new emerging artist.

00:03:56.000 I think he's named Hunter Biden.

00:04:00.000 It's expensive, though.

00:04:01.000 It's really expensive.

00:04:03.000 Yeah, he's good.

00:04:04.000 He's really good.

00:04:05.000 Hey, Tom, how many bombs did you dispose of?

00:04:09.000 A couple.

00:04:10.000 No yeah, not too many.

00:04:11.000 I was one of the guys, most of my focus area was actually on Asia Pacific.

00:04:15.000 So I spent most of my time out there like working like kind of the big picture stuff.

00:04:18.000 China, North Korea, all that.

00:04:20.000 So spent a lot of time in the tropics.

00:04:22.000 I'm one of the few Navy EOD guys who did not go to Afghanistan.

00:04:26.000 I did a brief stint earlier in Iraq.

00:04:28.000 It was very uneventful.

00:04:29.000 But yeah, I'm not an Afghan.

00:04:31.000 I'm not like the Hurt Locker guy.

00:04:33.000 We kind of worked on a different world of that.

00:04:36.000 We can talk about it a little bit.

00:04:38.000 And counter weapons of mass destruction.

00:04:39.000 So like nuclear weapons.

00:04:40.000 Spent a little bit of time at Los Alamos and all that stuff.

00:04:43.000 Taking a lethal dose of radiation, you know, more than once.

00:04:46.000 Luke and I went to Fukushima.

00:04:48.000 Yeah.

00:04:49.000 Oh, maybe we're also not intelligent.

00:04:51.000 I bought a bunch of iodine.

00:04:52.000 I think that's supposed to help.

00:04:54.000 Hey, ladies and gentlemen, Ian Crossland.

00:04:55.000 Well, I don't have the sweet background like Luke has yet.

00:04:58.000 I've got a light switch over there, but that's going to be changing.

00:05:00.000 Get some artwork behind me.

00:05:01.000 I have an array of crystals in front of me.

00:05:03.000 And the UFO has returned.

00:05:04.000 I don't know if we have a shot of that yet.

00:05:06.000 We will.

00:05:06.000 I will show everybody that in just a minute.

00:05:08.000 Maybe he's still fixing all the new buttons.

00:05:09.000 Who's talking?

00:05:10.000 Well, we have a new camera that takes a second.

00:05:11.000 It's a PTZ camera.

00:05:13.000 Oh! 0.60

00:05:13.000 So you can't... You have to actually, like, preset it. 0.60

00:05:15.000 Yeah, it has, like, pre-programmed... It has to actually move.

00:05:17.000 Very cool.

00:05:18.000 Happy to be here, and I'm looking for... Oh, actually, before we get started...

00:05:23.000 I have a gift.

00:05:23.000 This is for you, Tim, and for the TimCast crew.

00:05:26.000 This is the Big Book of Hell.

00:05:27.000 I don't know if you guys have ever heard of this.

00:05:28.000 Oh yeah!

00:05:29.000 Matt Groening's original works.

00:05:30.000 This is the guy, the creator of The Simpsons, and in the early 80s he did a comic strip about this binky, the rabbit, and I want you to have it. 0.77

00:05:40.000 He was a Navy nuke.

00:05:41.000 Cartoon by Matt Groening.

00:05:42.000 Did you know that?

00:05:43.000 What's that?

00:05:43.000 Oh yeah!

00:05:44.000 He was at Matt Groening was a Navy nuke.

00:05:46.000 Nuclear engineer.

00:05:47.000 Yeah, so Homer Simpson in his position as a senior reactor operator in front of the panel comes from Matt's background.

00:05:55.000 The female rabbits, I think Marge is kind of his mom.

00:05:59.000 Okay, you guys, I have super cool stuff to show you.

00:06:03.000 I have my new camera, so I'm going to show you.

00:06:05.000 I'm going to see if I can show you guys the UFO.

00:06:07.000 All right, let me know when that's in shot.

00:06:08.000 It's right there.

00:06:09.000 There's the UFO.

00:06:12.000 And we'll do the wide shot.

00:06:14.000 Yeah, it'll throw it off altogether.

00:06:15.000 And then we got a wide shot.

00:06:17.000 Oh, snap! 1.00

00:06:19.000 That's cool.

00:06:19.000 Look at that whole room.

00:06:22.000 I can't see it.

00:06:22.000 I have to look at it on my phone.

00:06:23.000 Oh, hey, look!

00:06:23.000 The Virtual Shield ad is already pulled up.

00:08:13.000 Now let's get into the big story of the day so far.

00:08:17.000 Southwest canceled more than 2,000 weekend flights, and the disruptions are continuing.

00:08:23.000 This is a story from today.

00:08:25.000 It's been updated after I covered it this morning.

00:08:28.000 But I also did something interesting.

00:08:29.000 There was a post on patriots.win, which is the big Donald Trump forum.

00:08:33.000 And someone there said they were a pilot, and they were like, Tim Pool, I know you!

00:08:37.000 You browse here!

00:08:38.000 You know, you better, you know, get in touch with me!

00:08:41.000 And then I was like, okay.

00:08:43.000 So I did a little digging, found the person's information.

00:08:45.000 Turns out it wasn't actually the person who was posting.

00:08:49.000 I'll leave out a lot of details, but it was someone related to a pilot with Southwest, who was relaying basically their story.

00:08:55.000 And what I was told was, there's no strike.

00:08:58.000 There's no sick out.

00:08:59.000 It's worse.

00:09:01.000 It is part of what we've been seeing with the labor shortages across the board.

00:09:03.000 When you push people too hard, eventually they reach their limit.

00:09:06.000 So, the vaccine mandates, for instance, was a huge smack in the face to a lot of these pilots who are already pushing their maximum hours.

00:09:14.000 I'm being told that, you know, back in August, some of these people were already told by the FAA, due to what they said, federal aviation regulations, they couldn't fly.

00:09:22.000 You fly too much, they're being spread too thin.

00:09:25.000 We saw the same thing happen earlier with Spirit Airlines, so...

00:09:28.000 We're seeing this across the board in almost every industry with labor shortages.

00:09:32.000 You add on top of the fact that people are being spread too thin, a vaccine mandate, this is just bad policy across the board.

00:09:38.000 But I know you, Tom, you were talking about having gotten a message from someone or having more insight on this.

00:09:42.000 Yeah, so what happened was Colin is friends here with a number of Southwest pilots and also in my family I've got a pilot and an air traffic controller and What happened was, he got a text from one of his pilot buddies saying, like, hey, there's a walkout, or, you know, when they say walkout, it's not a literal walkout.

00:10:04.000 It's, you know, folks calling in sick at air traffic controllers in Jacksonville.

00:10:07.000 The call has stopped like 650 flights, more to follow, just wait, the pilots are about to step in too, and it's just getting started, spread the word.

00:10:14.000 So then Colin says, well, I know Tom's got a lot of followers on Twitter, you know, for a non-public figure, and Tom knows people who have an awful lot of followers on Twitter, and he says, do you want to put it out?

00:10:24.000 We broke the story.

00:10:24.000 Dave said, go for it.

00:10:25.000 So I did, and I was actually in the air.

00:10:27.000 I was on the plane on the way out here from California.

00:10:30.000 And I'm immediately, Cerno retweets.

00:10:33.000 And then I sent it out to our mutual friend, Jack Pasovic, Kurt Schlichter, all those guys.

00:10:37.000 And it gets, what goes super viral.

00:10:39.000 It's got, I think we're like almost 6 million views now.

00:10:41.000 It's insane.

00:10:42.000 And we, turns out like we broke the story.

00:10:45.000 We scooped everybody else, which sounds crazy.

00:10:49.000 It seemed crazy to us at first because there was nothing about it anywhere.

00:10:52.000 We were searching.

00:10:52.000 Yeah, he tells me about it.

00:10:54.000 I'm like, I'm not seeing anything about that.

00:10:55.000 Do you know anything?

00:10:55.000 I didn't see anything in the media.

00:10:57.000 And so then it goes big.

00:10:58.000 And next thing you know, I'm in the plane the entire way.

00:11:01.000 And it's just, I'm getting DMs.

00:11:02.000 We're getting hit up by people.

00:11:03.000 And then next thing you know, we hear about more and then more.

00:11:06.000 And then I got a DM from somebody who says, hey, Tucker Carlson would like to talk to you.

00:11:11.000 And here's a number.

00:11:12.000 I'm like, how do I know?

00:11:13.000 Is it a non-account?

00:11:14.000 I'm like, how do I know?

00:11:16.000 And he says, he will talk to you on the phone.

00:11:17.000 So I'm like, okay, sure.

00:11:18.000 So I send like a, you know, probing text, like, hello, and then get a phone call and hello.

00:11:23.000 Hi Tom, this is Doug Carlson. 0.83

00:11:25.000 I'm like, holy crap. 0.94

00:11:27.000 Okay. 0.98

00:11:27.000 Yes, sir. 0.98

00:11:28.000 Yeah.

00:11:28.000 And so it was great.

00:11:29.000 So we talked for about 20 minutes and I referred him to a few of our friends who are POPs who spoke to and also spoke to the air traffic control in my family.

00:11:36.000 She is unvaccinated and is planning on, you know, losing her job. 1.00

00:11:40.000 Wow.

00:11:41.000 Yeah.

00:11:41.000 And so they're making plans and all that, and then everyone else, yeah.

00:11:45.000 Is that like, you know, a thousand people out of 50,000, you know?

00:11:49.000 I think we're at 6,000th number, is that, for controllers.

00:11:53.000 That's the number I was given.

00:11:54.000 Yeah, 6,000 controllers who are going to refuse vaccination.

00:11:56.000 That's what they're looking to lose.

00:11:57.000 That's, that's what I was given.

00:11:58.000 That's what, and uh, you know who you are, you're watching.

00:12:01.000 If you want to text me and correct me, go right ahead.

00:12:03.000 But do you know the total number of air traffic controllers?

00:12:05.000 I don't know.

00:12:06.000 I can actually find out.

00:12:06.000 I just phoned a friend, so... Yeah, yeah.

00:12:08.000 Yeah, so that friend of the family, she's watching, so you go ahead and text me.

00:12:12.000 I mean, considering we're already dealing with labor shortages and problems with flights as it is, 6,000's no small number.

00:12:19.000 Yeah.

00:12:19.000 I heard Tucker Carlson might be having a pilot on his show today, possibly.

00:12:24.000 I might have been the person to introduce him to him.

00:12:25.000 Yeah, but this is severe.

00:12:27.000 We're talking about 3.1 thousand flights in four days canceled.

00:12:32.000 Yeah 3.1 in 4 days now the Union is denying that this was a sick out but the Union the pilots Union Southwest pilots Union is actually suing Southwest because on December 8th that is the deadline that Southwest put on their employees to get vaccinated or be fired.

00:12:50.000 And you know this could have been organized this could have not been organized.

00:12:54.000 It's going to be playing out soon but I definitely foresee this to become more of the norm.

00:12:59.000 I'd see a lot more disruptions coming.

00:13:02.000 Former US Congressman Ron Paul and former presidential candidate Ron Paul called today the quote great rebellion.

00:13:10.000 So that right there kind of solidifies this kind of moment right now which everyone's on edge everyone's waiting to see how these mandates are going to play out other people are calling some of these pilots terrorists some blue checkmark.

00:13:24.000 Individuals on Twitter are saying the pilots were participating in a sick out or terrorist and and that's just hyperbolic nonsensical language.

00:13:32.000 very interestingly even when we saw workers union in ... Australia rise up we saw a lot of people on the ... establishment left criticize them even though it was a ... populist workers union standing up for their personal ... freedoms for their bodily autonomy for their individual ... rights as human beings not to be subjugated and jump through ... government hoops so so a lot of things are moving this is a ... fast-moving story it's only going to develop from here and ... if it's not organized as you said to him this is only going ...

00:14:01.000 And if it is being organized, they're not going to say that it is.

00:14:04.000 Exactly.

00:14:05.000 They told us it was the weather.

00:14:06.000 They're like, it's the weather. 0.99

00:14:07.000 I'm like bull freaking crap. 0.98

00:14:09.000 All the weather is only affecting one airline out of all the other airlines out there. 0.99

00:14:13.000 You got to be kidding me. 0.99

00:14:14.000 I mean, we're not that stupid. 0.99

00:14:15.000 Southwest released that statement. 0.99

00:14:17.000 The mainstream media regurgitated it. 0.98

00:14:19.000 I mean, what kind of bull crap are they trying to give to the American people when they're telling everyone it's the weather? 0.98

00:14:25.000 Here's the best part. 0.99

00:14:26.000 So, uh, the other night we were watching Family Guy.

00:14:28.000 It was like a new episode on Fox 5, I don't know, something like the local DC channel or whatever.

00:14:33.000 The news comes on, and the big story is Southwest cancellations.

00:14:35.000 At this point it was over a thousand.

00:14:37.000 And the ladies said, Southwest has canceled over a thousand flights.

00:14:41.000 They said in a statement that it was due to weather and issues with air traffic control.

00:14:44.000 The FAA issued a statement saying that there was no shortage of air traffic controllers, or... And then I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:14:51.000 Who said shortages?

00:14:52.000 Like, why did they include that statement?

00:14:54.000 So what you learn is, the news outlet knew that there was a story about a shortage, and they included the quote from the FAA, but not the actual information, the context.

00:15:05.000 You needed to understand why the FAA said that.

00:15:08.000 Right.

00:15:08.000 What that says to me is that the news is withholding information from people because they don't want... Here's what I think.

00:15:14.000 I think if regular people realize that 6,000 air traffic controllers are going to refuse to be vaccinated, And it looks like from the FAA, 14,000 air traffic controllers in the U.S.?

00:15:22.000 That's the total.

00:15:23.000 14,000 plus, it says.

00:15:24.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:15:25.000 Consider air travel done.

00:15:27.000 But if that's the case, how many more people are going to be like, if they can do it, so can I?

00:15:31.000 That's why they're so worried about these celebrities, too.

00:15:33.000 It's a stare-down, though, too.

00:15:34.000 That's the thing.

00:15:35.000 Right now, you're having...

00:15:36.000 Establishment, whether this is a major corporation, whether it's a government agency, and then you got the people, and they're having the stare down, like, hey, somebody's going to have to blink.

00:15:44.000 Eventually, somebody will.

00:15:45.000 But it's not just Southwest.

00:15:47.000 There's other elements of society that are saying, no, no, no, no, no, my body, my choice.

00:15:51.000 I get to decide what I get to put inside of myself, including Amtrak.

00:15:55.000 The Amtrak official Twitter account just posted that there's going to be some shortages of trains because of, quote, unforeseen crew issues.

00:16:04.000 What are the crew issues are you talking about there's also ...

00:16:07.000 Kyrie Irving an NBA player that gets paid 15.58 million ...

00:16:11.000 dollars he's putting his contract on the line because ...

00:16:14.000 he's refusing to bow down to the authoritarians and ...

00:16:17.000 they're telling him you might not be able to play home ...

00:16:20.000 games and that's what might happen in just a few moments ...

00:16:24.000 from now so and it's also National Guardsman there's ...

00:16:27.000 there's also reports of over a hundred thousand troops not ...

00:16:30.000 allowed to play home games and that's a big deal and ...

00:16:33.000 there's a lot more people out here that are saying no ...

00:16:37.000 then then we have no about here's what I think we're ...

00:16:40.000 seeing right now it's we we've talked about quite a bit ...

00:16:43.000 the rat experiment the right utopia experiment was it ...

00:16:46.000 Carl Carl Schlichter is that the name of the guy so we ...

00:16:49.000 went through how long a year of lockdown a little bit ...

00:16:52.000 longer and then it was this summer they said okay ...

00:16:55.000 Sorry, I got it wrong.

00:16:55.000 Oh, yeah.

00:16:55.000 Are you guys familiar with the Hope Experiment?

00:16:57.000 Not terribly, no.

00:16:57.000 No.

00:16:57.000 They take three cylinders.

00:16:59.000 They put rats in them.

00:17:00.000 They're full of water, and the rats swim desperately.

00:17:02.000 After 15 minutes, the rats give up and die.

00:17:04.000 They then did another experiment.

00:17:05.000 They put the rats in the cylinders.

00:17:07.000 After 15 minutes, the rats give up, but then they pull the rats out, dry them off, let them rest, put them back in.

00:17:13.000 Then, the rats swam for 60 hours.

00:17:15.000 6-0.

00:17:16.000 Yeah, 6-0.

00:17:18.000 Because they felt hope.

00:17:19.000 They were like, that hand will save me again.

00:17:21.000 That was Dr. Kurt Richter out of Harvard.

00:17:24.000 So this is what I think.

00:17:25.000 Why did I say Schlitter's on the show if it's not easier?

00:17:27.000 I wonder if they're related.

00:17:29.000 This is what I think.

00:17:31.000 These cancellations and everything, it is going to get bad.

00:17:34.000 The lockdowns are... The vaccine mandates are basically lockdowns.

00:17:37.000 They're telling businesses you can't operate, you know, unless you do these things.

00:17:40.000 And then we're seeing people say no to them, which is resulting in more economic strife.

00:17:44.000 But this time, people aren't going to freak out as much.

00:17:47.000 They're going to hold out for hope, because they've seen the return to normal, if only for a few months.

00:17:53.000 That's a great observation.

00:17:55.000 I mean that that that experiment is terrifying especially with what what could possibly happen here because there's still a lot of unexplained issues we still don't know exactly what's going on we know that there's a lot of mandates a lot of government pressure we saw what happened with United Airlines with them pressuring their employees firing their employees so.

00:18:11.000 I could I could definitely see that this is not going to go ... away anytime soon but there's also a lot of other issues ... you know there's there's estimates here that over a ... hundred million people in the United States had already ... covid this brings up the question of natural immunity ... there's 200 million estimated people that have taken the vaccine.

00:18:27.000 But daily cases are still up 300% than they were from last year when there was no vaccine.

00:18:33.000 What's going on here?

00:18:34.000 What's the science?

00:18:35.000 Dr. Fauci deserves to explain all of this and there's no explanation.

00:18:38.000 There's no conversation and we should at least start with some of these basic facts and just be able to have an honest real conversation about it and we can.

00:18:45.000 I think we need to recognize that they don't know.

00:18:48.000 Yeah.

00:18:48.000 And the problem is Dr. Fauci likes to always say definitive things and then get proven wrong.

00:18:52.000 And probably one of the most dangerous things he said was, Christmas is cancelled, and then everyone's like freaking out, and then he goes, I misread the science, it's not cancelled anymore.

00:19:01.000 Like, then don't say it, man, because people are freaking out already, but hey, maybe that's what they want.

00:19:06.000 He loves the attention.

00:19:07.000 He loves the spotlight.

00:19:08.000 Exactly, and that's why when there was a major backlash, he went back on the science of cancelling Christmas, and just a few months ago, he issued a statement that he's granting permission for kids to go trick-or-treating.

00:19:19.000 Are you kidding me?

00:19:20.000 You're not, you're not the, you're not God.

00:19:22.000 You might be compared to Keebler elves, but, but, but that's not God.

00:19:26.000 And maybe in some religions it is, but, but, but for frick sakes!

00:19:30.000 Thank you, Lord God Emperor, Dr. Fauci. 0.93

00:19:31.000 Like, you don't get, like, like, there's no science backed by, it's all a popularity contest and it's getting ridiculous by the day.

00:19:38.000 Isn't he the highest paid federal employee?

00:19:40.000 Yeah, he is.

00:19:41.000 He's making more money than, like, the president.

00:19:42.000 Yep.

00:19:43.000 Making more than, like, a four-star general.

00:19:44.000 I think he's been in that job, that specific job, like, as long as, like, someone's been alive.

00:19:49.000 It's like the 80s, I think.

00:19:50.000 Longer than I've been alive.

00:19:51.000 I'm curious to know all the income streams he has.

00:19:53.000 Oh, yeah.

00:19:54.000 He's got a book deal.

00:19:55.000 He's got that Netflix documentary, too.

00:19:56.000 No, Disney.

00:19:57.000 It's Disney, right?

00:19:58.000 Oh, Disney Plus.

00:19:58.000 You're right.

00:19:59.000 Disney Plus.

00:20:00.000 Thank you.

00:20:01.000 The new movie Fauci had like a 1.2 rating on IMDb, but it was a bunch of...

00:20:06.000 Fraudulent reviews.

00:20:07.000 So now they're fixing it as a 5.8 rating.

00:20:09.000 Sure.

00:20:10.000 They're like, let's be real.

00:20:11.000 You can hate Fauci.

00:20:12.000 The story can be awful.

00:20:13.000 But we put that documentary together very well.

00:20:16.000 How many dislikes does it have now?

00:20:17.000 Because they got rid of the comments.

00:20:18.000 I want to see.

00:20:19.000 I'm going to look it up.

00:20:19.000 Why would they ever get rid of the comments?

00:20:21.000 It was 95,000 dislikes a couple days ago.

00:20:25.000 Let's actually, can we pull it up?

00:20:27.000 Where's that on YouTube?

00:20:28.000 It's on YouTube.

00:20:29.000 It's the Fauci Disney Plus trailer to his documentary.

00:20:33.000 That's a horrible picture of him, by the way.

00:20:35.000 It's Disney Plus with National Geographic.

00:20:37.000 Like, I don't know if he's got, if he had cheekbones done or something.

00:20:40.000 Alright, so we pulled it up.

00:20:43.000 105,000 dislikes.

00:20:46.000 Oh my, so the National Geographic page, are you on that one?

00:20:48.000 Oh no, on Disney+, the Fauci official trailer has 21,000 dislikes.

00:20:54.000 On the National Geographic one, which comes up first when you type in Fauci National Geographic documentary that was released a month ago, 105,000 dislikes.

00:21:02.000 7.7 likes.

00:21:04.000 We got it right here.

00:21:07.000 105,000 dislikes.

00:21:08.000 Wow.

00:21:09.000 Yikes, man.

00:21:10.000 Oof.

00:21:11.000 This is popular.

00:21:12.000 Well, I'll tell you this, people don't like Dr. Fauci.

00:21:15.000 Yes.

00:21:16.000 Man, I don't.

00:21:18.000 I mean, who's gonna love North Korean-style propaganda films?

00:21:22.000 Seriously.

00:21:23.000 I mean, there's no conflict.

00:21:24.000 There's no drama here.

00:21:26.000 It's Bono and George W. Bush acting like fluffers to Dr. Fauci.

00:21:29.000 That's what the documentary is about, okay?

00:21:32.000 I don't want to watch that.

00:21:33.000 If I want to watch North Korean-style propaganda movies, I'll watch North Korean propaganda movies. 0.87

00:21:37.000 They're funny.

00:21:38.000 Yeah, they're interesting.

00:21:39.000 They're thought-provoking.

00:21:41.000 At least there's there's something there that you know is ... kind of theater but for them to play like they're unbiased ... and not interview anyone critical of him not introduce ... any I mean they talk about the the AIDS drama a little bit ... but but other than that it's just a glorification of a ... government bureaucrat and there's nothing more ... disgusting in my opinion than to worship someone in public ... office you should be holding them accountable you should be ...

00:22:07.000 Making sure that they're transparent.

00:22:09.000 You should be making sure that they're accountable to the people.

00:22:12.000 You should be making sure that they're working for you, not worshiping and celebrating these... I can't even say it.

00:22:17.000 Look, when you criticize Fauci, you're criticizing science. 1.00

00:22:21.000 The guy's a madman. 1.00

00:22:22.000 He's a lunatic. 1.00

00:22:23.000 So, hold on. 0.96

00:22:24.000 Don't show it just yet, but I pulled up the Rotten Tomatoes for Fauci, and do you guys have a guess?

00:22:29.000 A guess on the official critic score?

00:22:31.000 99.999% The official critics give Fauci 91%, but the audience score is 2%.

00:22:34.000 So don't look at the screen.

00:22:35.000 I just did.

00:22:36.000 I already gave you my guess.

00:22:37.000 I already guessed.

00:22:38.000 I said 99.9%.

00:22:39.000 All right, let's pull it up.

00:22:41.000 The official critics give Fauci 91%.

00:22:43.000 Wow.

00:22:44.000 But the audience score is 2%.

00:22:47.000 Oh my gosh.

00:22:48.000 This is like the worst score I've ever seen from an audience.

00:22:51.000 But it's people who just don't like Fauci.

00:22:54.000 Yeah, they initially didn't have that audience score.

00:22:56.000 We should pull up the Dave Chappelle recent comedy special.

00:23:00.000 That was actually, I saw half of it.

00:23:02.000 I was actually pleasantly surprised.

00:23:05.000 I didn't agree with everything he said, but it was good.

00:23:08.000 I enjoyed it.

00:23:09.000 I was able to sit back and enjoy it.

00:23:10.000 Now we pull up Dave Chappelle, The Closer.

00:23:13.000 Official critics 33%, audience score 97%.

00:23:14.000 You see how this works?

00:23:19.000 There are clearly two different figurative species.

00:23:24.000 The journalist, the better man, as they would call themselves.

00:23:28.000 Our betters.

00:23:29.000 Yes, our betters.

00:23:30.000 And then everyone else.

00:23:32.000 And they're all sitting there clapping, oh Fauci is brilliant.

00:23:34.000 And Dave Chappelle, how dare he?

00:23:37.000 It's digital hunger games.

00:23:39.000 You know what I mean?

00:23:40.000 In a lot of ways.

00:23:40.000 I mean, fortunately, it's not real Hunger Games.

00:23:42.000 No, no.

00:23:42.000 We're not there yet.

00:23:44.000 It almost is.

00:23:44.000 I mean, with, like, AOC at the Met Gala wearing that dress.

00:23:48.000 No masks.

00:23:49.000 And then we see the, what was it, Seth Rogen at the Emmys, I think.

00:23:52.000 Where he's like, look at us all!

00:23:53.000 We're not wearing masks!

00:23:54.000 He's like, what's wrong with us?

00:23:55.000 And they're all laughing about it.

00:23:57.000 Like, they don't care.

00:23:57.000 This makes me think that, it makes me, cements the idea that authoritarianism doesn't work in art, because you can't like force someone to think they like something they don't like, but then I'm thinking about Yunmi Park coming out of North Korea, and how they don't even know what love is, like they don't understand that concept, because it was never taught to them, so maybe authoritarianism does work in art, and we're just seeing the beginning of them trying to do it, and it doesn't work in the beginning.

00:24:17.000 Takes a generation.

00:24:18.000 It's horrifying.

00:24:19.000 The witchcraft thing? 0.98

00:24:19.000 movies where they did like woke remakes or whatever I mean man I know you guys 0.98

00:24:23.000 haven't seen the new craft because of just you know who you are as people who

00:24:27.000 pay attention and have good taste but you guys you guys remember the craft

00:24:30.000 right the old 90s movie with the witchcraft thing yeah so they remake it 0.98

00:24:35.000 and the latest version is just like the most nonsensical woke religious garbage 0.97

00:24:40.000 It's not even a movie. 0.99

00:24:42.000 It's just, like, doesn't make sense at all.

00:24:44.000 David Duchovny, for some reason, turns out to be the bad guy, but he, like, he apologizes to this girl for being mean with her, you know, mean to her.

00:24:51.000 He's the stepdad, and he's like, don't attack people, because she hit somebody, and then she gets all, like, shocked that she was told not... It just, the movie makes literally no sense.

00:25:00.000 They cast a spell on a guy to turn him gay or something.

00:25:02.000 For real. 0.83

00:25:03.000 Is it worse than Girl Ghostbusters? 0.98

00:25:05.000 Oh, yeah.

00:25:06.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:25:08.000 At least Girl Ghostbusters was like just a bad movie.

00:25:11.000 Sure.

00:25:11.000 The craft is like random woke PSA clips stitched together.

00:25:15.000 Yeah.

00:25:15.000 And so, you know, like what you're saying, Ian, that you can't force someone to like art.

00:25:20.000 Yeah, but if that's like, if there are people who will just clap, you know, in unison for the establishment, it's not about liking art.

00:25:26.000 It's about just their clapping to fit in.

00:25:28.000 And so they'll tell you they like everything.

00:25:30.000 They like anything they're told to like.

00:25:31.000 Yeah.

00:25:32.000 The comments on this Dr. Fauci documentary are absolutely glorious and awe-stunning.

00:25:38.000 Someone wrote, corporations and government working together against the people, classic.

00:25:43.000 Another person wrote, the gain of function is really going to be relatable to a lot of people.

00:25:49.000 Someone wrote that they're going to make this movie into a ride at Disney, and the wait is going to be two minutes, but you're going to be there for 15 years.

00:25:59.000 So the comments are absolutely beautiful and glorious.

00:26:03.000 Some people wrote, this is the sequel to Nuremberg 2.0.

00:26:06.000 Again, a lot of people are saying a lot of different comments, lots of let's go Brandons, but the comments are very entertaining to say the least.

00:26:14.000 Nice.

00:26:14.000 So, I think, you know... Why didn't Trump fire the guy?

00:26:18.000 Yeah, that's a very good question.

00:26:19.000 Why didn't Trump fire a lot of people?

00:26:22.000 You know, I think the reality is the Trump presidency was anything but a despotism.

00:26:26.000 It was a guy who was like, I'm going to do what I want to do, and he's kind of a loud mouth, but he didn't push too hard.

00:26:33.000 And the problem was he should have fired a lot of people.

00:26:34.000 He should have fired Fauci, but he didn't do it and he could have done it.

00:26:37.000 I think right now, as it stands, like the odds are, if you had to play the odds, I mean, a lot of people have these predictions, but One, I mean, it's pretty clear that Trump, he's going.

00:26:45.000 I mean, he's going for it this next round.

00:26:48.000 And frankly?

00:26:49.000 I think he's going to get it.

00:26:50.000 I'm not saying this is one of those things where, you know, whether like, that's what I want, like, and all that.

00:26:55.000 But I, if I had to put bet money on something, and I think he's going to win, I really do.

00:27:00.000 I know it sounds crazy, right?

00:27:01.000 But I mean, people thought it was crazy the first time around.

00:27:03.000 His approval is up in rural areas.

00:27:05.000 Yeah.

00:27:06.000 We're hearing suburban areas that were anti-Trump are now supportive of Trump, even though he's not president.

00:27:12.000 This is the craziest thing.

00:27:12.000 It's like approval now flipped over 50% in some suburban areas where there he's not even the president and they approve of the

00:27:19.000 guy what yeah and he's going to go against like an animated corpse or he's going to go against a very

00:27:25.000 unlikable you know for a cop yes you know reanimated excuse me reanimated or maybe he's

00:27:32.000 going to go up against oprah but more importantly he's probably going to have to go against

00:27:38.000 ron de santis And there's a lot of Donald Trump supporters that are absolutely angry at him for his handling of the events after his presidency, for not supporting them, for not standing up with them, for raising a lot of money and then kind of sitting on it.

00:27:51.000 There's a lot of accusations of money just being thrown away, of fraud.

00:27:55.000 So there's a lot of disenfranchised Donald Trump ...

00:27:58.000 supporters that are absolutely mad with him ...

00:28:01.000 especially with what he did to whistleblowers especially ...

00:28:04.000 the opportunities he had the opportunity failed I mean if ...

00:28:07.000 someone I mean a lot of people have been left after the ...

00:28:11.000 Trump presidency being like what what what just happened.

00:28:14.000 I thought he was going to a lot of people are disenfranchised ...

00:28:18.000 but a lot of people are also understanding how bad Biden is.

00:28:22.000 Yeah.

00:28:23.000 So it's going to play out.

00:28:24.000 And with DeSantis, you know, unfortunately his wife came down with cancer, breast cancer.

00:28:29.000 That could be a game changer for her. 0.78

00:28:30.000 Cause if things take a turn, like him doing something like that while wife with cancer.

00:28:35.000 Rob, if you're listening, look into fasting.

00:28:37.000 You know what I think?

00:28:38.000 I think Trump was heavily focused on his economic agenda and he ignored the politics of it all.

00:28:45.000 That's kind of the problem of having a non-politician as president.

00:28:48.000 Exactly.

00:28:49.000 I was talking to somebody a long time ago in New York, and they were mentioning, I think, Philadelphia.

00:28:54.000 I don't know.

00:28:56.000 It's not Wolf, is it?

00:28:56.000 But they mentioned they tried electing a businessman governor, and it didn't work or something.

00:29:00.000 I don't know the full details.

00:29:01.000 Maybe you guys in Pennsylvania know this.

00:29:02.000 But, typically what you'll get is someone like Trump, who thinks that, you know, he's the CEO of this big company, he can be like, you're fired!

00:29:09.000 Then he gets in the government, and he goes to somebody and says, you're fired, and they go, uh, you don't have the authority to do that, that's gotta go through committee approval, we'll see you in a month, and that person stays in the job.

00:29:18.000 Or they got a weird federal union.

00:29:20.000 So I feel like Trump mostly, I mean, he picked a lot of weird culture war fights, he focused on economics, which was good, but the swamp had him surrounded.

00:29:29.000 Yeah.

00:29:29.000 You know, he couldn't actually change things that needed to be changed.

00:29:31.000 I mean, if the one thing he could have done was, I don't know, pardon Assange?

00:29:34.000 Sure.

00:29:34.000 Couldn't even do that?

00:29:35.000 He pardons the Detroit mayor guy?

00:29:37.000 He said he doesn't know who Assange is.

00:29:39.000 He said he loved WikiLeaks when he was running for president, and then he's like, WikiLeaks?

00:29:42.000 What's that?

00:29:43.000 I don't even know what that is.

00:29:44.000 Would have played it with favoritism.

00:29:45.000 What are you doing?

00:29:46.000 You have an opportunity and chance to go against the establishment in such a way with just one little move, correcting a wrong by the US military industrial complex, correcting a wrong by the intelligentsia, and you don't do it?

00:30:00.000 Fire Fauci?

00:30:02.000 Even when he was clearly not getting along with the guy.

00:30:06.000 he just he didn't make these moves and you know if you think about this like uh i know you've had

00:30:10.000 i'm sure you guys are all familiar with curtis yarvin of course and it's one thing he's talked

00:30:14.000 about quite a bit where it's like hey this is bigger than one man you know where it's like

00:30:18.000 you know where like the president of the united states is like the leader of the executive branch

00:30:21.000 in the same way that the queen of england is like the head of state for yeah officially i say but

00:30:27.000 doesn't have any real constitutional power how Has a little bit, like, on paper, but isn't really anything.

00:30:31.000 He did a big, long bit.

00:30:32.000 I'm a big fan of his.

00:30:34.000 And he did a long bit on Tucker Carlson today.

00:30:37.000 Explaining all that, I hope you guys get him on.

00:30:39.000 I mean, he is, he's fantastic.

00:30:42.000 But he's just like, no, it's bigger than him.

00:30:43.000 It's like, you look at the entire federal government where it's just like, it's like fish in a coral reef.

00:30:47.000 And then a giant wave goes over a hurricane.

00:30:49.000 It's a great analogy.

00:30:50.000 It is.

00:30:50.000 Yeah.

00:30:51.000 And the fish are just kind of like, you know, the actual federal employees, there's like, Oh, well, something, you know, every election, something happened where it's like, it's bigger.

00:30:58.000 Like that's, you know, and we call that, people call that deep state or the swamp, but it's decentralized.

00:31:02.000 It's not some cabal.

00:31:03.000 The administrative state.

00:31:04.000 Yeah, administrative state.

00:31:05.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:31:06.000 And it's decentralized, all that.

00:31:07.000 Right, these people who exist in government beyond, you know, in between every administration.

00:31:11.000 Sure.

00:31:12.000 They just, they never go, and then they influence intel.

00:31:15.000 And you'll get a president who comes in, and the same people will be like, here's your official report.

00:31:20.000 And I think this time, or last time, with Trump, Trump was like, I don't care, America first.

00:31:24.000 And they were like, uh oh, he's not listening to us, what do we do?

00:31:26.000 And then all of a sudden they were like, uh, he just got elected and we'll impeach him.

00:31:29.000 And the same people who said they were gonna, started the process.

00:31:32.000 Yarvin's recommendation in that book, The Machiavellians, would be really good for Trump to read if he comes back in again, because I think the real question is, what does he do differently?

00:31:38.000 I don't know if he reads books.

00:31:40.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:31:42.000 If Tucker reads it.

00:31:43.000 Let's go back to Kyrie Irving.

00:31:45.000 Kyrie Irving refuses to get vaccinated.

00:31:48.000 We have the story from Insider.com.

00:31:49.000 You know, but it's really my work out.

00:31:54.000 Talk to us.

00:31:55.000 That's good.

00:31:55.000 Things about this.

00:31:56.000 I should listen.

00:31:56.000 Let's let's let's go back to Kyrie Irving because Luke Luke mentioned

00:31:59.000 Kyrie Irving refuses to get vaccinated.

00:32:01.000 We have a story from insider.com.

00:32:03.000 The Nets are conceding.

00:32:05.000 He won't play in home games in a stunning turn of events, man.

00:32:09.000 Look, there's there's there's big there's hard falls and they're scary

00:32:13.000 There's a lot of people who say, you know, I'm worried about refusing this.

00:32:16.000 If I lose my job, how do I feed my kids?

00:32:19.000 And I completely understand that.

00:32:21.000 But complying has got us to the point where now there's food shortages.

00:32:24.000 Now you've got someone like Kyrie Irving who's worked hard his whole life, he's one of the best, he's in the NBA, and now he's gonna potentially lose that, standing up for his beliefs.

00:32:33.000 There's still a lot to lose, a lot of hard work people put in.

00:32:36.000 Yeah, he's standing up for his principles, and he's putting up millions of dollars, and he's making a stand here.

00:32:41.000 Now, he was asked about this.

00:32:43.000 He says he doesn't really want a lot of public media attention on this.

00:32:46.000 He's trying to, of course, work things out.

00:32:49.000 But New York City mandates that people get vaccinated if they want to work there, and he's working for the Brooklyn Nets.

00:32:56.000 So this is this is unfolding to a situation where it's not just Kyrie.

00:33:01.000 There's a lot of other NBA players that have been very articulate that have been voicing their concerns and have actually been talking about the science and the risk-benefit analysis here when it comes to healthy athletic individuals risking themselves to do a compliance procedure that might have complications that might hurt them and end their careers.

00:33:22.000 So there's a lot of things to weigh here.

00:33:26.000 There's a lot of things to discuss here.

00:33:27.000 But at least some of these NBA guys are starting the conversation, and at least they're making it an issue that can't be avoided.

00:33:34.000 Because when you have Kyrie Irving, one of the best players on that team, saying, I'm not going to play home games now because of this ridiculous government mandate, it puts it in your face how over-the-top a lot of this is.

00:33:44.000 We also have this story from Timcast.com.

00:33:46.000 Former Misfit singer Michael Graves cancels Los Angeles concert over vaccine mandate.

00:33:51.000 Now this I have tremendous respect for.

00:33:53.000 He says, quote, I have made the decision to not perform on October 13th in LA at the Whiskey A Go Go due to the city's vaccine mandate that is being enforced as of October 7th.

00:34:02.000 Graves said in a statement provided to Timcast, I will not perform to a segregated audience.

00:34:07.000 I will not participate in any effort to pressure anyone into undergoing an experimental medical procedure to enter

00:34:12.000 and dwell in a building as a prerequisite to see me perform.

00:34:17.000 Oh.

00:34:18.000 If I can't play for all of you, I won't play at all.

00:34:21.000 I mean, hey bro, go on the street corner and busk.

00:34:24.000 That'd be the coolest thing ever.

00:34:25.000 Oh, yeah, that would be.

00:34:26.000 Maybe get a security guard or something, but... Giant middle finger, too, to the venue and to all the folks out there.

00:34:30.000 Yep, tell everybody, come outside, watch for free.

00:34:33.000 You know?

00:34:33.000 I think that'd be fantastic, but this is incredible, I mean, to be completely honest.

00:34:38.000 There are a lot of people who say a lot of words about, I refuse, you know, this vaccine mandate is bad policy, and a lot of them don't actually put up.

00:34:46.000 They don't put their money where their mouth is.

00:34:47.000 They'll go and they'll perform all the same at the vaccinated places and be like, oh, what's the big deal? 0.92

00:34:52.000 You know, if you really oppose the vaccine mandates, then you would oppose them and not be the tool by which these vaccine mandates are implemented.

00:35:00.000 So these guys, Kyrie Irving, I'm actually interested because New York City has a performer exemption.

00:35:07.000 So that's interesting.

00:35:08.000 Like, if Graves were to play in New York City, the executive order says, if you're performing on stage, you don't got to get vaccinated.

00:35:14.000 Which I think is just- Makes no sense!

00:35:16.000 Of course it doesn't make sense, but like, you're trying to make sense out of things that are like, you know, designed to be nonsensical.

00:35:20.000 But what's interesting, I know like a couple, week or two ago, I was watching you and you were saying how, hey, if you oppose the man, and you know, I think caused a little bit of a stir on Twitter, but it's like, yeah, if you oppose the mandate, but you still, you know, get the vaccine anyways, then you don't really oppose it.

00:35:36.000 And I get what you're saying.

00:35:37.000 Or if you go along with the mandate.

00:35:39.000 I said, if someone claims that they oppose the vaccine mandate, but then out of fear of losing their job, go and get the vaccine mandate anyway, they're not actually opposing.

00:35:48.000 They don't actually oppose it.

00:35:49.000 What I mean to say is, how is it opposition to something that you're actively participating in?

00:35:54.000 Yeah, you can dislike something without opposing it.

00:35:57.000 People are looking at the word oppose like, I think it shouldn't be done versus oppose and I'm actively standing up against it.

00:36:02.000 Yeah, that's fair because there's so many folks out there it's like that, you know, they don't have, you know, they're not professional athletes, they're not professional performers where, you know, they're pulling down, you know, 60, 70 grand a year, they got family.

00:36:14.000 You know, they don't have a ton in savings, and it's like, they don't have a lot of runway.

00:36:17.000 And it's like, hey, they lost their job.

00:36:18.000 But look where we are.

00:36:19.000 No, absolutely, 100%.

00:36:19.000 I think that's why it's good for folks like this to start doing it.

00:36:22.000 It's like, OK, maybe there's something here.

00:36:23.000 And it's even better when you're seeing an industry where it makes them hurt where you're talking about the pilots.

00:36:28.000 And also, it's the flight attendants.

00:36:29.000 I got a DM earlier.

00:36:30.000 It's like, hey, don't forget about the flight attendants.

00:36:32.000 Cause they make a lot less money and also, but they're in the exact same boat and there's plenty of them too.

00:36:38.000 And it's a big one.

00:36:39.000 There's a lot of Southwest pilots.

00:36:41.000 From what we're hearing, it's about half or maybe just under half are unvaccinated.

00:36:41.000 Yeah.

00:36:46.000 So that's where when the pilots were talking to him, we know quite a few Southwest pilots, you know, being in the Navy, a lot of pilots from the Navy or Marine Corps go right into working with Southwest as an example in this case.

00:36:57.000 And we know a few.

00:36:57.000 Yeah.

00:36:58.000 And, and that's what they're saying is if they don't do this and maybe, maybe it's only 25 or 30% that just refused.

00:37:04.000 Yeah.

00:37:05.000 That's still significant.

00:37:05.000 It's a lot.

00:37:06.000 So you think Southwest already has their problems aside from these most recent.

00:37:09.000 Before all this.

00:37:10.000 So if you think you have like a little less than half of all the pilots are in vaccines, that's like the estimate right now.

00:37:15.000 And let's say like half of those, which is at the other estimate, half of those.

00:37:19.000 So yeah, 20, 25, maybe 30% at most are going to like lose their job.

00:37:23.000 That's a bad news.

00:37:24.000 And also you got I gotta point out this one gal who wrote to me. 1.00

00:37:27.000 Her name's Crystal.

00:37:28.000 She sent me a DM.

00:37:28.000 She says, thank you for speaking about the Southwest Airlines.

00:37:31.000 Please don't forget the thousands of flight attendants that are facing termination as well.

00:37:34.000 My 20 plus years are being flushed down the drain.

00:37:38.000 Thank you for all you do.

00:37:39.000 But let's think about what the logical conclusion to these efforts, right?

00:37:44.000 It'll be a lot harder to fly.

00:37:46.000 Demand will still be there, but the prices will skyrocket.

00:37:49.000 There's substantially less pilots, there's less flight attendants, there's going to be less availability.

00:37:54.000 What do you get?

00:37:55.000 Hunger Games.

00:37:56.000 You're going to get very wealthy elites.

00:37:57.000 You're going to get the people who are willing to wear the masks.

00:38:01.000 Was it Hunger Games that had the AVOXs we were talking about?

00:38:03.000 Yeah, that was Hunger Games.

00:38:04.000 I guess this wasn't in the movie.

00:38:06.000 Yeah, no, it was part of the book.

00:38:07.000 In the book, the rich people in the capital have servants whose tongues have been cut out?

00:38:12.000 That's what it was?

00:38:12.000 Yeah, so it's so interesting you mention the Hunger Games, because the way I see it, Kyrie Irving is really channeling what the African-American community is feeling right now.

00:38:20.000 And these celebrities saying this is a counter to the Hunger Games, because they're saying, no, we're not going to do this.

00:38:25.000 Not only that, normal people who are afraid to lose their jobs, they're not alone.

00:38:29.000 So seeing all these captains do this, and seeing all these celebrities do this, this has got to be incredibly encouraging.

00:38:35.000 At the same time, if regular people walk off their jobs, say, start homesteading, which I think would be good, I think that's fantastic, just realize we're going to live in a world where only the wealthy elites are traveling internationally.

00:38:46.000 The wealthy elites are the only... It's going to be like Elysium, almost.

00:38:49.000 Everyone's going to be living in, like, you know... Do these people want this?

00:38:53.000 I'd imagine.

00:38:54.000 They want a surf class.

00:38:55.000 Also, it's Southwest, because that's the budget airline.

00:38:58.000 Right?

00:38:59.000 They're the ones that's hurting too.

00:39:00.000 Like, the folks who can afford it, can handle it, like, they're flying either another airline, they're flying up front, right?

00:39:05.000 They're flying business or first class, or they're, or some would be flying private, they're flying, you know, any of those.

00:39:10.000 Like, the budget airline is for, like, the everyday folks.

00:39:12.000 Hey, it's a cheap ticket, gets me from where I got to go, taking the family to Disney.

00:39:16.000 I got a business, you know, like, that's what that is.

00:39:18.000 And it's like, it's going to hurt them the most.

00:39:19.000 It's not hurting, you know, the big boys.

00:39:22.000 Yeah.

00:39:22.000 I don't know if you guys ever heard of the term, the great reset.

00:39:27.000 Yeah, but a lot of globalists, especially at the World Economic Forum, came together and said that people are flying too much, people are consuming too much red meat, people are enjoying life too much, and they need to be controlled and regulated to the point where they have no privacy, own nothing, and they're happier than ever.

00:39:43.000 So when you look at what's happening now, especially with the larger economic consequences, the government has their fingerprints all over it.

00:39:51.000 Would helping spur on a lot of troubling times that ... are going to be coming very soon whether it's lockdowns ... whether it's mandates whether it's restrictions whether it's ... regulations whether it's taxes everything government is doing ... is trying to stop any kind of prosperity any kind of ... sovereignty any kind of Liberty and freedom and trying ... to benefit of course the corporate billionaire class ... that has greatly benefited from.

00:40:14.000 Every one of those policies so what we're seeing here is a ... clash point but it's a clash point that's not started by ... pilots and stewardesses and Kyrie Irving it's a reaction to ... something that may be more methodical that may be done on ... purpose in order to spur on more of a economic destruction ... and calamity that should be coming soon.

00:40:35.000 Is it war?

00:40:35.000 Some people say economic warfare is war.

00:40:39.000 Fifth generational warfare.

00:40:40.000 Target supply lines, crush them.

00:40:42.000 And then, what have we seen over the past few decades?

00:40:45.000 One of the biggest problems, one of the biggest weaknesses we face as a country is capital incentives.

00:40:51.000 You find a powerful individual or a high-powered company, and then you can easily offer them money to guide them in the direction you want.

00:41:00.000 See, the thing about the Chinese Communist Party and the authoritarians is that they're ideologically driven and authoritarian, so their incentives are all based on whether I'm told to do it or the tribe wants it. 0.85

00:41:08.000 In the United States, there could be a company and all you gotta do is chip one step at a time.

00:41:12.000 Here's some money, do this.

00:41:13.000 Here's some money, do that.

00:41:14.000 And eventually you can steer them in a wrong direction.

00:41:16.000 For example, if a bunch of contributions are coming in to politicians who are advocating for sending our manufacturing overseas, and then all of a sudden the middle class gets gutted, which has happened, The center will not hold.

00:41:28.000 There's no center left.

00:41:29.000 Our politicians have literally gutted us, and it was easy to exploit them into doing it.

00:41:34.000 Look, we see what's going on with Swalwell and Fang Fang.

00:41:38.000 You know, Dianne Feinstein and her driver.

00:41:40.000 We saw Mike Pompeo come out and say that there is, you know, the Chinese have infiltrated us every level.

00:41:46.000 So I'm wondering if we're seeing all these shortages and all this bad policy simply because this is a means of war.

00:41:53.000 They play the long game, but the Chinese, I mean, they know, like they think in decades and centuries, well, we're thinking about the next election cycle. 1.00

00:42:00.000 Like we don't think that further past.

00:42:01.000 And so like, that was, I know that's kind of one thing you want to talk about, but that was my, you know, that whole area, Asia Pacific was mine.

00:42:07.000 And also, you know, Jack Posobiec was one of the Intel guys at my unit.

00:42:10.000 That's how we became friends.

00:42:11.000 Oh, wow.

00:42:12.000 Yeah.

00:42:12.000 That was like, that was our connection.

00:42:13.000 That's how I kind of eventually found my way.

00:42:15.000 And now I'm, I'm here like few years later.

00:42:17.000 It's crazy, but yeah, it's, uh, that was our big, Focus that side of the world was China.

00:42:22.000 So and I did a couple staff jobs.

00:42:24.000 I was an admiral staff and I drafted tiny little parts of the war plans for China if anything with Taiwan were to happen or South China Sea and also a separate war plan for North Korea.

00:42:36.000 So, you know, obviously I didn't write the whole thing.

00:42:38.000 I wrote a little part of it.

00:42:39.000 It's a huge huge document and it goes through admirals and generals in this massive process.

00:42:43.000 But one of the things with the whole China thing is on the military side.

00:42:47.000 It's like It's scary, but that's the thing.

00:42:50.000 That's not where this war is being fought.

00:42:51.000 It's economic.

00:42:52.000 It's informational.

00:42:53.000 You know, that's where the real war is going to fight.

00:42:55.000 It's the future.

00:42:56.000 It's fourth and fifth generation.

00:42:57.000 It absolutely is.

00:42:58.000 I would anticipate limited war though, unfortunately.

00:43:00.000 This could be something.

00:43:01.000 I don't think China wants a war.

00:43:03.000 Well, hold on, hold on.

00:43:04.000 They keep it limited.

00:43:04.000 Like it'll be like a Taiwanese.

00:43:06.000 Let me pull that story up to set the stage for this, because we do have major developments.

00:43:12.000 From TimCast.com, Taiwan strengthening military to defend against China.

00:43:16.000 During a speech on Taiwan's National Day, October 10th, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen warned that the country would be strengthening its military to defend Taiwan's sovereignty against the Chinese Communist Party, saying, After taking complete control of Hong Kong and suppressing democracy activists, the Beijing authorities also shifted away from the path of political and economic development that they had followed since reform and opening up began decades ago.

00:43:38.000 At the same time, regional order is being challenged in the South and East China Seas.

00:43:43.000 The routinization of Chinese military activity in Taiwan's Southwestern Air Defense Identification Zone, at is, has seriously affected both our national security and

00:43:52.000 aviation safety.

00:43:53.000 She stressed that Taiwan is willing to do its part to contribute to the peaceful development

00:43:56.000 of the region and that Taiwan's position on cross-strait relations remains the same.

00:44:01.000 Neither our goodwill nor our commitments will change.

00:44:04.000 However, Tsai explained that maintaining peaceful relations requires China to also maintain the

00:44:08.000 peace. She then said that Taiwan will continue to strengthen its national defense to protect

00:44:12.000 its people from China.

00:44:14.000 Interestingly, someone superchatted us just a moment ago saying that it looks like military

00:44:17.000 areas building up in Taiwanese streets.

00:44:19.000 So, biting his knees.

00:44:21.000 But, um, I know that you were mentioning you had experience in these areas.

00:44:24.000 Yeah.

00:44:25.000 What do you think's going on with this?

00:44:26.000 I mean, we've been hearing over and over again, more and more stories.

00:44:29.000 They've been saying that for a long, long time, and that's one of the things that Taiwan has always been, like, this big, big, you know, focus for the United States for a long time.

00:44:37.000 Matter of fact, the first time the United States ever threatened to use nuclear weapons against an enemy was, like, Eisenhower back in the 50s.

00:44:45.000 Like, hey, we'll nuke ya. 1.00

00:44:46.000 And, but one thing that's interesting though is that one thing, and this is open source so I don't really feel like we're talking about it, but right now is, everyone talks about an invasion.

00:44:55.000 A lot of folks might not appreciate that one, like, the Chinese currently, like, don't have the sea lift capability.

00:45:01.000 And it might not seem like much, but the thing is that, you know, one of the things they teach you with, you know, all the big like the fancy war colleges and all this other stuff and all the big strategy stuff, is that, you know, they call it the stopping power of water.

00:45:12.000 Like, it's really hard to move an army across just, I mean, look, think about the massive undertaking it took to just cross the English Channel.

00:45:19.000 Yeah.

00:45:20.000 Right?

00:45:20.000 I mean, it's a huge deal.

00:45:21.000 Like, moving an army, and you need an army if you want to, like, actually control something.

00:45:25.000 I don't know about that.

00:45:27.000 Well, if you want to invade, if you want to seize, hold, and control territory, like, you do need boots and you need to stay there, right?

00:45:34.000 And moving that is just a massive undertaking.

00:45:36.000 So they currently don't even have the sealant for that.

00:45:38.000 Oh, you make it?

00:45:38.000 Yeah.

00:45:39.000 Or you use sowing dissent, propaganda, cyber warfare.

00:45:43.000 That's a different story, right?

00:45:44.000 And if the door gets open from the inside, so to speak, right?

00:45:47.000 And they let them in, that's a different story.

00:45:49.000 But if you're talking about like a confrontational, you know, like them doing a D-Day kind of thing, I don't think that's... But let's be real, that would be... At this point, I think that would be like saying, you know, if the Chinese were to launch a trebuchet at us, it's like, no, no, no, we don't need that ground invasion anymore. 0.78

00:46:05.000 Right.

00:46:06.000 It's fourth and fifth generation.

00:46:07.000 100%.

00:46:09.000 Economics, manipulation, propaganda.

00:46:11.000 Hollywood culture.

00:46:13.000 And we have to understand, multinational corporations have sold this country out for pennies on the dollar.

00:46:19.000 I mean, the access that they give them, the influence that they give them.

00:46:22.000 John Cena, one of America's most prominent celebrities, is like, I'm sorry I'm so sorry for recognizing a country during ... his tour not even saying anything political it's embarrassing ... now I definitely don't think China wants to get into a hot ... war yet I don't think they have the resources especially the ... oil you need a lot of oil especially if you have a Navy.

00:46:42.000 And there's going to be an energy crunch soon that a lot ... of people are going to wake up to and it's going to be very ... difficult but also at the same time I'm also thinking if you ... are China and you have the failed the leadership of Joe ... Biden you have his actions of just how horrible everything ... went in Afghanistan.

00:46:59.000 You must be thinking to yourself this is the most ... perfect opportune time to do something very aggressive ... because Biden is literally going to give us weapons and ... he's going to give us all the all the information to all the ... people in that area and he's going to give us all the help ... that he can when we attack Taiwan because that that was ... his policy in Afghanistan it was blundered almost ... deliberately so if you're trying to at the same time you ... see a big opportunity with the Biden presidency.

00:47:26.000 Or what if this is just a distraction?

00:47:28.000 I mean honestly, we had talked about it before, the long game.

00:47:30.000 CCP is really good at playing the long game.

00:47:33.000 And in talking with people in Taiwan now, generationally there's differences.

00:47:37.000 We as Americans tend to view things black and white.

00:47:40.000 We see Taiwan as it's been for the last 20 years as an example. 1.00

00:47:44.000 But the new generations coming up have a lot more in common with the general Chinese people than they do with their elders necessarily.

00:47:50.000 They may not be opposed to becoming one with China.

00:47:52.000 And if you're the CCP looking at the long game, sure, we can do some positioning, we can throw the Americans off, but maybe the long game is truly just waiting it out.

00:48:01.000 Yeah.

00:48:01.000 Because they don't have to do their business.

00:48:03.000 It's not a long game.

00:48:04.000 The war is now.

00:48:05.000 The conflict's happening right now.

00:48:07.000 But when they go over willingly.

00:48:08.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:48:08.000 There's like there's like 40 flights a day going between Taiwan and mainland China.

00:48:13.000 You know, that's great.

00:48:13.000 Have you guys ever been to China or anything like that?

00:48:15.000 I've been to Hong Kong, and I've been there for a lot of the protests there.

00:48:19.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:48:20.000 There's great stuff you did, by the way.

00:48:22.000 This was like street warfare on levels that I haven't seen before, comparatively maybe to the Yellow Vest Movement in France, but this was like gore, blood, and like seriousness on the streets. 0.67

00:48:32.000 It's great if you go through the Beijing airport or the Shanghai airport, which is awesome.

00:48:35.000 It's kind of funny, almost.

00:48:37.000 It'll have in English, and there's like, go to the terminal, like the domestic terminal, like within China, right?

00:48:41.000 And then the international terminal, right?

00:48:43.000 And then the international terminal's every other country.

00:48:44.000 It says, international flights, and Hong Kong and Taiwan.

00:48:49.000 Wow.

00:48:49.000 Because, you know, it's like, that's not international, you know?

00:48:52.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:48:52.000 Like, that's how they very much look at it.

00:48:55.000 But I really do, I think you guys are right.

00:48:57.000 You're right, the war is being fought now.

00:48:59.000 And I think you're also right, Colin, where it comes down to, it's like, look, I think that the generation, I think they're going to open the door from the inside and they're just going to go over willingly.

00:49:07.000 And it might not be, you know, this year might not be this decade, but you know, it might be soon.

00:49:13.000 And honestly, that's the smart, if you were China, that's the smart move instead of like sending ships over and kicking the door down.

00:49:18.000 Yeah.

00:49:18.000 You don't want to blow it up.

00:49:19.000 Right.

00:49:19.000 What's the value of Taiwan?

00:49:21.000 Is it the infrastructure?

00:49:22.000 And then they're importing stuff from mainland China?

00:49:25.000 Also national identity.

00:49:27.000 Bannon said it was Silicon Valley West.

00:49:30.000 They produce so much of our silicon chips, we've got shortages now.

00:49:33.000 And it's making it impossible to get, particularly cars.

00:49:36.000 So an invasion would be bad because you'd end up destroying infrastructure, and that's what they want is the infrastructure.

00:49:41.000 Do they have tunnels in Taiwan?

00:49:42.000 Is it like an underground... In Vietnam, the reason why we couldn't win is because they had prepared tunnels for like two decades before. 0.88

00:49:49.000 Among other things, yeah.

00:49:50.000 Uh, I don't think as far as that goes, but the thing is, I think if they just let them in willingly, if they're not fighting, like, if you think, if you're China, that's a smart move.

00:49:57.000 Right?

00:49:57.000 It's the only move I can think of.

00:49:58.000 Yeah.

00:49:58.000 Otherwise, you're gonna have to blow up the thing you want to take.

00:50:00.000 Right.

00:50:01.000 Exactly.

00:50:01.000 And hold them under a police that, like, nobody wants that, they don't want that.

00:50:04.000 And look, they're good at doing that.

00:50:05.000 Guess what?

00:50:06.000 Instead of, like, shooting you or anything like that, we'll just buy you off. 0.98

00:50:09.000 Yeah.

00:50:09.000 I mean, that's what they did to Africa.

00:50:10.000 That's what I was saying before.

00:50:11.000 Yeah, Africa, exactly. 0.77

00:50:12.000 About the exploitation in the United States. 1.00

00:50:14.000 They're eating a lot of shit. 1.00

00:50:15.000 Our weakness. 1.00

00:50:15.000 Trump canceled that program and Biden vetoed it when he got into office and implemented it back again. 1.00

00:50:20.000 I'm like, what are you doing?

00:50:21.000 up getting arrested because they're effectively selling U.S.

00:50:23.000 research to China.

00:50:24.000 Yeah.

00:50:25.000 Selling us out.

00:50:26.000 Trump canceled that program and Biden vetoed it when he got into office and implemented

00:50:30.000 it back again.

00:50:31.000 I'm like, what are you doing?

00:50:32.000 Like, how does this make sense?

00:50:33.000 And again, everything's for purchase.

00:50:35.000 Everything has a price.

00:50:36.000 And the Chinese literally have a blank book. 1.00

00:50:38.000 They have their own Federal Reserve System, where they literally print money out of thin air.

00:50:42.000 They have a whole economic system that's based out of just numbers that they print on a screen.

00:50:46.000 So with that kind of unlimited money, they could do anything they want.

00:50:49.000 And they're very methodical, especially with their Belt and Road Initiative, especially with their infrastructure now through Kazakhstan and Afghanistan, their connections with Iran and the energy that they get from them.

00:51:01.000 This is a very methodical move that the Chinese understand is going to be a long-term, but they understand that it started a long time ago.

00:51:10.000 We're just realizing it started.

00:51:11.000 They realized a long time ago, hey, we got to do this, and they are.

00:51:15.000 They're playing 4D chess, and we're playing tic-tac-toe.

00:51:19.000 It's not even checkers.

00:51:21.000 I think there's a lot of individuals in the U.S.

00:51:23.000 I think a lot of people who, like, you know, watch the show, for instance, probably know a lot of this and have started taking the individual actions to protect themselves.

00:51:29.000 But without a strong collective, like a United States and a shared culture and vision, we're getting, we're getting, they're eating our lunch.

00:51:36.000 I think the British played the long game.

00:51:38.000 You guys ever get that vibe?

00:51:39.000 I don't know about that.

00:51:40.000 The British monarchy, they're like, we don't do anything.

00:51:43.000 They're just sitting in the road blocking traffic but saying that they're not doing anything.

00:51:46.000 Like, I'm not doing... 0.64

00:51:47.000 I think they used to, I mean, and now it's like, it's kind of like a, just a crappy, like, quasi-socialist country.

00:51:52.000 It's really sad.

00:51:52.000 Yeah, that's bad.

00:51:53.000 It's really sad.

00:51:53.000 It's like, to me, in my, in my mind, I've been, I've been to the UK several times, I just... Yeah.

00:51:57.000 It's like, oh wow, this used to be so amazing.

00:51:59.000 Yeah.

00:51:59.000 But there was a lot of problems too, don't get me wrong.

00:52:01.000 I mean, you know, colonialism, you know.

00:52:03.000 Yeah, that's what kind of started all this.

00:52:04.000 Taiwan was a British colony.

00:52:05.000 Yeah?

00:52:06.000 It was from the opium wars.

00:52:07.000 Taiwan was?

00:52:07.000 Yeah.

00:52:08.000 They, they set up an operation.

00:52:09.000 I think it was Taiwan, right?

00:52:10.000 And, well, that, that allowed sanctuary for the, the Chinese government when it was taken over by communists to flee, which is my understanding, right?

00:52:16.000 Yep, yep, that's a big one.

00:52:17.000 So technically, you know, I love that meme of West Taiwan.

00:52:20.000 You guys have seen it.

00:52:20.000 Oh, yeah.

00:52:21.000 Yeah, the all of China mainland is called West Taiwan.

00:52:23.000 Yeah.

00:52:24.000 You know, communism is, I think if communism succeeds and expands and whatever, whatever, whatever China is, they found out something clever. 0.71

00:52:34.000 It's not just about doing communism.

00:52:36.000 It's about manipulating the public, giving them limited freedoms so they can at least satiate themselves, but then you use the iron fist for everything else.

00:52:44.000 It's a clever way to run things.

00:52:46.000 The problem with Soviet Union is, you know, books and tracking and stuff. 0.98

00:52:50.000 One loaf of bread wasn't working.

00:52:52.000 They weren't getting the supplies they needed.

00:52:53.000 So China found a way to mix markets with the lower class and then give themselves absolute authority on top. 0.72

00:53:01.000 So all these businesses have a Chinese Communist Party branch or whatever.

00:53:05.000 That, I think that will absolutely wipe out humanity.

00:53:08.000 So if you... What do you think is going to wipe out humanity there?

00:53:14.000 I think if Chinese-style state communism, or whatever you want to call it, succeeds in becoming this global force... Crypto-communism? 0.91

00:53:21.000 Yes, this will decimate, probably the wrong choice of words because the root is to reduce by 10%, but it would be a catastrophe in that centralization of planning does not work.

00:53:37.000 It works in some areas, like, oh, you want to make cell phones?

00:53:39.000 Great, have a planned, like, here's the parts we need and you can organize it.

00:53:43.000 But you can't organize for a billion people.

00:53:45.000 You can't organize for a million people properly.

00:53:47.000 It is the decentralized wisdom of the masses.

00:53:52.000 Centralization works if your centralized system is part of a decentralized system.

00:53:56.000 So it's just a big node on the network.

00:53:58.000 So when we have different businesses, like the airline knows the airlines, and the dairy industry knows the dairy industry, that makes sense.

00:54:05.000 It's a decentralized grid.

00:54:07.000 But imagine having one government guy who's, like, overseeing everything.

00:54:10.000 And it's like, dude, you used to be a bus driver, and now you're trying to tell us how to produce oil?

00:54:14.000 Thanks, Maduro, and the country is not- now they're- what are they doing?

00:54:17.000 They're doing a new currency in Venezuela?

00:54:19.000 Oh.

00:54:19.000 It's- it doesn't work.

00:54:21.000 One person is not smart enough to run.

00:54:22.000 Imagine someone thinking, being so arrogant, they're like, I am but one person, but I could be the CEO of every Fortune 500 company simultaneously.

00:54:31.000 You'd be like, that's insane.

00:54:32.000 You can't do that.

00:54:33.000 The CEOs barely do that. 0.89

00:54:35.000 But they brought the smart people from the universities, don't worry.

00:54:38.000 But but if they dare sneeze in the wrong direction of the ... Communist Party they get sent to the work camps I mean look ... what happened to Alibaba look what happened to so many ... entrepreneurs in China that have been literally taken out ... just for the smallest microaggression of talking ... against the state and and again this shows you how bad ... this is another point that we also have to entertain here ... because with massive centralization comes major ... problems that China is dealing with right now.

00:55:04.000 Including major resource shortages they're trying to ... make a desert into a fertile land of farming because they ... know resource wise they're screwed there's a lot of very ... significant problems in China because of the ... centralization and I think we also have to examine that ... because they're not as strong and as powerful with their military.

00:55:27.000 I imagine that people hate the government there.

00:55:28.000 to convince the world because they have a very hard ...

00:55:31.000 times even just making their society run in some ...

00:55:33.000 instance imagine people hate the government there just ...

00:55:37.000 hate it well depends their raised as young children to ...

00:55:40.000 love the stage to obey the state and they know if they ...

00:55:43.000 dare even to criticize it they lose privileges they lose ...

00:55:46.000 the ability to send their their children into good ...

00:55:48.000 schools they use they lose the ability to travel they ...

00:55:51.000 lose the ability to have good internet because they ...

00:55:54.000 criticized the government or smoke to cigarette in the ...

00:55:57.000 in the wrong place or jaywalked.

00:55:59.000 So there's also that aspect of it.

00:56:01.000 And consider how you control people with tribalism.

00:56:03.000 So they're raised to hate America as well.

00:56:05.000 To be told that they're the bad ones, they're evil, and then they cheer when they win.

00:56:08.000 We're winning!

00:56:09.000 Yay! 0.99

00:56:09.000 They're losing! 0.99

00:56:10.000 So that makes people, you know, it boosts their morale, makes them want to be involved in that mob mentality, essentially.

00:56:16.000 I heard that there's like Chinese hero movies now where they're fighting Americans, and the Americans are like how we had the Russians in the 80s and 90s. 0.95

00:56:22.000 Oh, wow.

00:56:24.000 I want to bring it back closer to home with what's happening, because we can talk about the potential for war and the crisis.

00:56:30.000 I want to pull up this story from Reuters.

00:56:32.000 World food prices hit 10-year peak from the Food and Agricultural Organization, which is based out of Rome.

00:56:38.000 This is the UN, actually.

00:56:41.000 It's a UN agency saying it.

00:56:42.000 FAO's Food Price Index, which tracks international prices of mostly global traded food commodities, averaged 130 points last month.

00:56:50.000 The highest reading since September 2011, according to the agency's data.

00:56:54.000 And check this out.

00:56:55.000 America's bare shelves, Walmart and Costco, limit toilet paper sales, while toy companies warn parents their kids' Christmas gifts won't arrive in time, thanks to backlog at ports, rail yards, and on the roads.

00:57:07.000 Supply chain problems that have been tormenting retailers for months are showing up in America's stores.

00:57:13.000 Around the country, there are shortages of goods on shelves in Target, Costco, Home Depot, and Sears.

00:57:18.000 They're saying that the cost of shipping from China to LA is now at $20,000.

00:57:22.000 Four times what it cost last October.

00:57:24.000 And I think it's like ten times as high as it normally is supposed to be.

00:57:29.000 What do you think this means for people in America?

00:57:31.000 I think, you know, we talk about the people who can stand up, who can reject the mandates, and I think we talk about this foreign conflict, but it all comes back to whether or not someone's going to be able to have food on their plate.

00:57:42.000 Complying won't get you there.

00:57:43.000 Ignoring what's happening around the world won't get you there.

00:57:46.000 I mean, this may be one of the hardest times for a lot of people.

00:57:49.000 We've gone through this golden age where people have lived so peacefully, so perfectly, with movies, with pizza.

00:57:55.000 Man, you pick up your phone, you go, pizza, and then boom, a pizza shows up.

00:57:58.000 You can actually pick up your phone today, press the button and say, order me a pizza, and then it'll find you a restaurant, you can get it.

00:58:03.000 Now all of a sudden we're being told our supplies are being strained.

00:58:06.000 Our food prices are through the roof.

00:58:08.000 Hard to find some supplies.

00:58:10.000 People are now having to experience what actual survival and hardship is gonna be.

00:58:14.000 And there's war on the, around the horizon.

00:58:16.000 Yeah.

00:58:16.000 If people don't get their act together, man.

00:58:18.000 Start standing up, standing up for themselves, being responsible.

00:58:24.000 We talk about hard times.

00:58:25.000 I don't think anyone's actually thought through what a hard time is going to look like.

00:58:29.000 And I think we're starting to see that just from, so this is really simple, something really small and something that I noticed is that there's less selection on the store shelves.

00:58:36.000 Like why don't we have 600 types of peanut butter to choose from anymore?

00:58:40.000 Because we just don't have that anymore.

00:58:42.000 So it's starting small and it's going to get really bad because they're so backed up.

00:58:45.000 Like off the coast of California, we're talking about how the shipping ships, the crate ships, whatever they're called.

00:58:51.000 Cargo ships.

00:58:52.000 There you go.

00:58:52.000 Cargo ships.

00:58:53.000 Are all backed up.

00:58:54.000 And there's like hundreds of thousands of packages on there.

00:58:57.000 Like you're talking about Christmas being delayed and all this other stuff.

00:59:00.000 These are the hard times coming.

00:59:01.000 Like I don't, there's no way to avoid it.

00:59:03.000 Well, I guess it means strong men are coming after that, right?

00:59:05.000 That's right.

00:59:06.000 That's my thinking.

00:59:07.000 We've just been so conditioned to be comfortable.

00:59:09.000 Conditioned to be comfortable.

00:59:11.000 Well, we're also extremely spoiled.

00:59:13.000 And I kind of recognize this, and I bet you did too, Tim, after traveling a lot,

00:59:17.000 going around the world.

00:59:19.000 I mean, I was in Zimbabwe, I was in Venezuela, you were in Venezuela as well.

00:59:23.000 When you stay with people, when you live with people, when you see the world from an international kind of

00:59:27.000 perspective, from a third world perspective,

00:59:30.000 it really gives you a lot of, a feeling of humbleness,

00:59:34.000 especially when you come back here and you have so much abundance,

00:59:36.000 much abundance and you have so much options.

00:59:38.000 And and us being spoiled is only going to add to the ... disaster of what's coming because there's also going to ... be a lot of fears about panic buying there's also going to be ... a lot of people who are unprepared for this there's ... going to be a lot of latte drinking flip-flop wearing ... yuppies who are going to try to tweet their way out of this ... problem and there's no way of hitting the computer keyboard ... to help you in a situation where resources become very hard to get.

01:00:05.000 So there's going to be a big reality check for a lot of individuals to see how useful they are, to see the skills that they have, to see what they could do, and it's really going to lead to a very transitionary time that I think we're starting to begin to head into right now.

01:00:20.000 I was just thinking about, you know, we've talked about people in cities being unable to survive in the event of, like, a serious catastrophe, and then, you know, Luke mentioning these hippie flip-flop latte-drinking guys, and I'm just sitting here imagining—this is the first—my first thought was, well, I'm good.

01:00:35.000 You know, I got—we got chickens, and a garden, and we're building more, and we're gonna be a little bit more responsible growing up.

01:00:40.000 In the middle of nowhere.

01:00:41.000 in the middle of nowhere.

01:00:41.000 Yeah.

01:00:42.000 And then I'm like, what would they do?

01:00:44.000 And I'm thinking like, well, they might start attacking each other,

01:00:47.000 stealing each other's food.

01:00:48.000 But what happens when they don't have anything?

01:00:49.000 What happens when they can't even, there's no people left in the cities

01:00:52.000 and they're all fleeing.

01:00:53.000 And then I'm imagining like coming outside one day, I hear like there's like two in the morning

01:00:57.000 and you hear a rustling.

01:00:58.000 And then it's like someone here is like, Tim, I think there's an animal outside.

01:01:01.000 And we grabbed the 410 and we go outside and then we're like looking around with the light on.

01:01:04.000 And then all of a sudden we see some like scraggly looking hipster wearing a flannel shirt

01:01:08.000 that's all worn.

01:01:09.000 And he's like, he's grabbed my chicken.

01:01:11.000 And I caught him in the lights and I'm like, hey you, hippie, hipster, give me that chicken back.

01:01:15.000 And he's like, and then he runs.

01:01:16.000 And he's like, help I need a latte.

01:01:17.000 I don't have my latte!

01:01:18.000 I need some milk, but it is it is funny to think but I'm like that's like a real possibility these people

01:01:24.000 Don't know how to survive. What are they gonna do?

01:01:26.000 They're gonna have to look if it ever came down to the point where the cities didn't function properly

01:01:29.000 It's very difficult to get food and resources into cities, right?

01:01:32.000 And if we're talking about oil prices through the roof if we're talking about global elites that are like people

01:01:36.000 shouldn't be driving Then these people in the cities who've never grown a

01:01:39.000 vegetable in their life And I'm not saying everyone in cities never done that

01:01:43.000 people of gardens, but I'm saying the ones who didn't the true

01:01:47.000 Hipster woke, you know socialist types They're they're not just gonna roll over

01:01:52.000 They're gonna start screaming and pounding on walls and then one day you out in West Virginia are gonna see to the

01:01:59.000 to your shock A hipster wearing like some kind of expensive clothes they got at the thrift store that was like, you know, for some reason.

01:02:05.000 Grabbing your chicken and running and like, what are they going to do with that thing?

01:02:05.000 Sure.

01:02:10.000 But hey, man, I would not be surprised if like in five years you see things like that.

01:02:15.000 What about just like an upper middle class?

01:02:17.000 You have like, instead of like some hippie, you just have like a mortgage broker trying to steal your chickens.

01:02:21.000 You know what I mean?

01:02:22.000 Like really?

01:02:23.000 Like folks like that, a lot of folks who don't really have the wherewithal to like survive.

01:02:27.000 And like, fortunately, you guys and a lot of folks we know, like, We're a little prepared when it comes to that sort of thing.

01:02:31.000 You guys are out in the middle of nowhere, it's nice.

01:02:33.000 That's something that I always think about too.

01:02:35.000 Here's what I used to think about for a while, and now I'm having second thoughts after all the COVID events, was a lot of folks who were really well off or get to a certain point, it's like their bug out location, a ton of folks were buying property in New Zealand.

01:02:49.000 Right, right.

01:02:50.000 And mountain fortresses, too.

01:02:52.000 Yeah.

01:02:53.000 I think Peter Thiel, like, bought himself a passport, and he's got a compound out there, and it's like, hey, you know, if the crap hits the fan, like, get the fan, get in the jet, and off we go.

01:03:02.000 And it's great, because if you think about it, it's like, it's in the middle of nowhere.

01:03:02.000 And I can't blame him.

01:03:05.000 It's very hard to get to.

01:03:07.000 It has mild summers, mild winters, tons of natural resources.

01:03:11.000 Like, I spent, like, a month there.

01:03:12.000 It was amazing.

01:03:13.000 Food everywhere.

01:03:14.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:03:15.000 It's like there's no natural predators.

01:03:16.000 And it has what's funny is they have like 4 million people.

01:03:20.000 And I think it's like 30 million sheep and 50 million heads of cattle, right out there.

01:03:24.000 And it's like, it's like Lord of the Rings is gorgeous.

01:03:26.000 And it's like, you can go out there and pretty much live off the land one way or another.

01:03:30.000 And it's like, that's a very safe place.

01:03:31.000 But then with a lot, you know, some of the restrictions and authoritarian government, I think you could still hide out there pretty well.

01:03:36.000 Well, in Latin America, your dollar goes a long way.

01:03:38.000 That's true.

01:03:39.000 And a lot of Latin American police officers and politicians really love getting tipped.

01:03:44.000 We're talking about when the dollar is... Of course.

01:03:49.000 And it's going to create a very, very unique, interesting situation.

01:03:52.000 People in the comment section are saying that there's going to be soy-seeking hordes.

01:03:57.000 People wandering about looking for soy.

01:04:02.000 But a lot of also very powerful people bought a lot of property in Latin America.

01:04:08.000 And a lot of people are also looking into Latin America because the police officers there and the government there doesn't have the tools to enforce a lot of the ridiculousness as well. 0.60

01:04:18.000 You brought up mortgage broker.

01:04:19.000 And so to be more practical than being like, you know, you hear rustling, you go outside and there's a hipster like eating one of your chickens and he's like, no, but I think what might be closer to reality is, you know, you live out, you get a homestead, you move out maybe to like central West Virginia.

01:04:35.000 There's a lot of farms out here and they're amazing.

01:04:37.000 Almost all the farms you can pull up and you buy fresh foods.

01:04:40.000 We went to one place, they had like a trailer and they had like, we got tenderloins.

01:04:43.000 They were amazing.

01:04:44.000 So what'll happen is one day, a mortgage broker will walk up on your property with a briefcase wearing a nice little suit, and you'll be like, you know, what can I do you for?

01:04:51.000 And he'll be like, I need to work.

01:04:53.000 The cities can't sustain me.

01:04:54.000 They're, you know, what am I supposed to do?

01:04:56.000 You know, so I'm out here trying to find a job.

01:04:58.000 I can do anything.

01:04:59.000 And then, you know, this farmer is going to be like, what can you do?

01:05:02.000 What did you work?

01:05:02.000 I'm a mortgage broker.

01:05:03.000 Do you know how to, you know, till a field?

01:05:05.000 No.

01:05:05.000 Do you know how to help tend to the chickens?

01:05:08.000 No.

01:05:08.000 Cows?

01:05:08.000 No.

01:05:09.000 I don't think there's anything you can do for me.

01:05:12.000 Yeah.

01:05:12.000 Maybe you can lift heavy things.

01:05:13.000 We'll figure it out.

01:05:15.000 But then what happens is when this guy gets rejected, he comes back in the middle of the night and tries to steal because people are not going to roll over.

01:05:19.000 They need to survive.

01:05:20.000 Yeah.

01:05:21.000 Just like a desperate bear will make desperate moves.

01:05:23.000 He's going to be like, hey, I have these Federal Reserve fiat notes I could give you.

01:05:27.000 Do you want them?

01:05:28.000 And I don't care if he has millions of them.

01:05:30.000 If he can't have real life skills to fix things, build things or make his own way,

01:05:36.000 I'm not interested in working with any of those people.

01:05:38.000 Tim, are you gonna be like the next Rick Grimes?

01:05:40.000 You know, from Walking Dead?

01:05:42.000 No, I'm just kidding.

01:05:43.000 Oh, you said a walking, like zombie apocalypse.

01:05:45.000 He was like the leader, but it was just one of those things like he was like the leader of a,

01:05:48.000 like at a compound and they're traveling.

01:05:49.000 It's like all the stuff you guys have described, like sounds like Walking Dead.

01:05:52.000 We have a caravan.

01:05:54.000 Some people are- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:05:55.000 People in the comment section are saying soybeans instead of zombies.

01:06:00.000 There's gonna be a bunch of zoebees around, running around. 1.00

01:06:04.000 So I mean, it could be like the Walking Dead, but again, that's kind of,

01:06:07.000 it's very entertaining to talk about these kinds of cultural issues.

01:06:11.000 When you kind of do look at South Africa, the situation there has already turned pretty bad.

01:06:16.000 Human beings are very resilient.

01:06:18.000 They'll always find a way.

01:06:20.000 That's why when you said people will become hardened, people will become smarter, people will become more in tune to the land.

01:06:27.000 I think there's also going to be a lot of vast opportunities for that where a lot of city dwellers are going to return to farming self-sustainable lifestyles because of necessity.

01:06:37.000 And I think that's going to be a good thing right now.

01:06:40.000 Most of our farming is factory farming.

01:06:42.000 A lot of it is Monsanto.

01:06:43.000 A lot of it is GMO. 0.99

01:06:44.000 A lot of it is absolute bullcrap. 0.97

01:06:45.000 A lot of it is owned by Bill Gates. 0.98

01:06:47.000 to try to create fake meat.

01:06:50.000 But again, when things fall down, we're also going to understand that the authorities won't be able to hold things together, and there's going to be a free-for-all.

01:07:01.000 It's already they can't hold things together.

01:07:03.000 When we see these stories about the federal government's heavy hand making statements about going after parents, that's like a frightened bear.

01:07:11.000 It's an animal trying to look bigger and scare you.

01:07:13.000 It's the animal puffing up.

01:07:15.000 It's the blowfish going, It's like, okay, I'll stay away from you, but yeah, it's kind of it's kind of fake authority, too Because like real authority comes heavy and hard with weapons.

01:07:24.000 Yeah, they're trying to be nice This is like the federal government's like hey do we say but we're not gonna mess with you But like a real authoritarian government would be like gonna mow down who disagrees and then everyone else do what I say But in a country of 330 million the federal government does not have the capacity for policing something so large and so vast I mean look If it really came down to the fact that people were losing, came down to the people losing confidence in the government, Alaska would not be part of this country anymore.

01:07:48.000 It's just too far away.

01:07:50.000 And it'd be difficult, it would just become something different.

01:07:53.000 I mean, look at the collapse of the Roman Empire.

01:07:55.000 Different countries emerged from it.

01:07:57.000 While we're talking about Alaska, it's arguably not as beautiful as New Zealand, but you can still homestead there.

01:08:01.000 I was out in Nome, Alaska two years ago, and now you can get waterfront ocean property.

01:08:07.000 As long as you do, I think, some minimal upgrade every year, you can have your own plot of land out there.

01:08:12.000 Now, a can of Pringles back then, you know, three years ago would cost you about $9, so it's probably $50 today.

01:08:16.000 Yeah.

01:08:17.000 Somebody at home can back me up.

01:08:19.000 But yeah, this home setting is still a real thing where you can go in.

01:08:21.000 But winter.

01:08:22.000 But winter.

01:08:23.000 Yeah, then the winter runs dark.

01:08:24.000 Ice fishing, right?

01:08:25.000 People in the comment section are saying the Woking Dead.

01:08:27.000 I love the comment section so much.

01:08:30.000 I seriously appreciate you guys and your puns.

01:08:34.000 Hawaii would be out.

01:08:35.000 I mean, Hawaii, I don't think, can Hawaii sustain its population without import?

01:08:40.000 It's the fracture of the empire when you see Hawaii go.

01:08:42.000 I lived in Guam for four years, right?

01:08:44.000 Guam, you know, U.S.

01:08:45.000 territory, right?

01:08:46.000 I lived there for four years.

01:08:46.000 Station out there.

01:08:47.000 And that's where Jack and I were the same unit out there.

01:08:50.000 And, and yeah, it's out there.

01:08:52.000 I mean, yeah, it does really well to sustain like the local population, but everything that's there, I mean, if it just everything devolved, I mean, the upside is there's fresh water there.

01:09:01.000 And, but as far as like the food.

01:09:03.000 You want to have food real quick.

01:09:04.000 I was reading that on a lot of these islands in the Pacific, there's too many people now.

01:09:08.000 And so all of the human waste is contaminating the water around the islands.

01:09:13.000 It's contaminating the groundwater, so that's where they get their water to drink.

01:09:16.000 And so then people run out into the ocean to do their business,

01:09:19.000 and now it's contaminating everything else.

01:09:22.000 Like, there's a limit to many people.

01:09:23.000 You got to pull it out, like, at least.

01:09:24.000 I mean, the regulation, I think for us, like, for most ships, merchant ships,

01:09:27.000 or even, like, Navy ships, or whatever, it's like two and a half miles, I think.

01:09:30.000 You have to be two and a half miles to pump it out, which it really is, because, I mean, you know, all the fish poop there, too, you know?

01:09:34.000 So, you know, but that's one of the, like, but if you're just out on the beach, you know, you're running out there, just waiting out there to go, yeah, that's a different story.

01:09:41.000 That's bad.

01:09:42.000 The funniest thing was instead of, you know, pumping it ways away, you could pump it in port as long as you paid the host country.

01:09:47.000 Yes!

01:09:47.000 So you could pump it onto another ship, like a poop ship.

01:09:50.000 Yeah.

01:09:50.000 But the funniest thing was seeing the poop ship just have the pipe go across the ship onto the other side and then they pump it into their own port and you're paying them for every gallon.

01:09:57.000 Yeah, like in some countries they'll just let you pump over the side.

01:10:00.000 Like in there, like Spain, surprisingly Spain, we're like, what do we do for like our sewage service while we're in port?

01:10:05.000 And they're like, just pump over the side.

01:10:07.000 Do you guys remember that story where Dave Matthews' band went over the bridge in Chicago?

01:10:11.000 And the bus driver hit the release and it sprayed a boat going under the bridge.

01:10:15.000 It was Dave's tour bus?

01:10:16.000 I think that's what it was, right?

01:10:17.000 It was Dave Matthews' band?

01:10:18.000 That's great.

01:10:19.000 Because the bridges in Chicago are like grates.

01:10:22.000 So as the bus went over, I guess the driver was like, no one will notice, it's going into the river.

01:10:25.000 And there was a boat underneath and they all got sprayed.

01:10:28.000 As a proud trailer park enthusiast, Blackwater is not fun.

01:10:34.000 People don't understand.

01:10:36.000 They don't get it.

01:10:37.000 They think RV life is glorious and you're gonna be like those Instagram babes. 0.87

01:10:41.000 I mean, no one asks the question and whenever I see one of these Instagram babes or like YouTube people, van life people, I'm like, where do you poop?

01:10:50.000 You're making it look all glorious and nice, but show us the real footage of you cleaning out the black tank. 0.95

01:10:55.000 Show us the reality of what happens when you gotta go.

01:10:59.000 That's the reality that people are denied seeing a lot of the times because it's glorified.

01:11:03.000 I think about that when I watch TV a lot.

01:11:05.000 All the characters on TV, like Matt Damon, like when does his character poop?

01:11:09.000 How come we don't see that on the movie?

01:11:10.000 I don't know about that.

01:11:11.000 Every day in the movie he's doing it probably, almost.

01:11:13.000 Do you want to see that on the movie?

01:11:14.000 I want realism!

01:11:16.000 Give it to me.

01:11:17.000 No, no, I'm not.

01:11:18.000 You're watching Born Ultimatum and then he's like, give me a second, I gotta take a dump.

01:11:22.000 Yeah.

01:11:23.000 He's just like, watch him go in.

01:11:24.000 The bash is terrible.

01:11:25.000 Goes in the stall and he sits down.

01:11:27.000 And then he gets up and he's washing his hands and he just shows all of it.

01:11:30.000 Yeah, brushing his teeth.

01:11:31.000 That's the movie that Ian wants.

01:11:32.000 Thank you.

01:11:33.000 You never get thirsty.

01:11:34.000 Okay, so hold on there.

01:11:35.000 Hold on.

01:11:35.000 We were talking about the federal government's ability to reduce waste.

01:11:39.000 And then we're talking about these islands and potentially breaking away.

01:11:41.000 I'm thinking about cannibalism.

01:11:42.000 Did we segue far?

01:11:44.000 We did.

01:11:45.000 I've been thinking a lot about cannibalism as we've been talking about this.

01:11:47.000 Like, what are they gonna do in the city?

01:11:48.000 Eat rats?

01:11:48.000 And then what?

01:11:49.000 Eat each other?

01:11:50.000 And then, like, these zombie hordes in, like, The Walking Dead.

01:11:52.000 What they don't show is the hordes eating each other, because they're zombies in the show, but they're actually, if they're starving humans, they're just gonna start eating each other.

01:11:58.000 Then you're gonna get an Instagram video of someone, like, picking a human cor- like, eating a human- Yeah!

01:12:02.000 And that's when, you know, really, that's gonna be the iconic- But- Yes, but what- if these soy boys start eating that much meat, wouldn't that boost their testosterone? 0.71

01:12:10.000 Oh, yeah.

01:12:11.000 And then all of a sudden, they'd be like, they'd turn into, you know, much more aggressive.

01:12:15.000 Pre-onic.

01:12:16.000 But if they're vegetarian to begin with, can they just start eating meat?

01:12:18.000 They get the shakes.

01:12:19.000 I think if you eat meat, something bad happens, right?

01:12:22.000 That's right, that's right.

01:12:23.000 Yeah, yeah, it'll mess you up.

01:12:24.000 It'll mess you up for a while.

01:12:25.000 You guys ever see the Book of Eli?

01:12:27.000 Yeah, that movie's great.

01:12:28.000 But they do this thing where they'll be like, show me your hands, and you have to hold your hands up, and the people who are cannibals, they shake. 0.93

01:12:34.000 From, uh, prion disease, is that right?

01:12:36.000 Yeah, prions.

01:12:36.000 It's like a protein fold, I think, in the brain.

01:12:38.000 And so you get the shakes from cannibalism.

01:12:40.000 And so if you can't hold your hands straight, then they're like, ah, you know, get them, and then I think he actually goes to a place where there's a bunch of cannibals. 0.95

01:12:47.000 It's a post-apocalyptic.

01:12:47.000 Yeah.

01:12:48.000 Yeah.

01:12:49.000 So the road, uh, Corbett McCarthy's, uh, he made a book, uh, same guy that wrote,

01:12:53.000 uh, no country for old men and all that McCarthy. 0.75

01:12:55.000 And then he made a movie with, uh, Viggo Mortensen, but it's like

01:12:58.000 post nuclear apocalypse, everyone's starving, nearly everyone dies.

01:13:01.000 And it's like this one guy is trying to get his son, try to get South.

01:13:04.000 And they don't really know exactly where, and there's like roving hordes of, you

01:13:07.000 know, like warlords and like cannibals.

01:13:09.000 And it's like, it's horribly terrifying.

01:13:11.000 It's what it was like, it's really sad.

01:13:12.000 It's depressing.

01:13:12.000 I read the book on the deployment.

01:13:14.000 And I was like, I just ruined this part.

01:13:16.000 I was like having a crappy time.

01:13:17.000 Anyways, I'm saying, Oh, maybe I'll put a book.

01:13:18.000 Oh, no, this is awful.

01:13:19.000 I've been jokingly saying that we are in, we are in a brave new

01:13:23.000 Fahrenheit, 1984 for Vendetta.

01:13:25.000 Bye.

01:13:27.000 And so I'm thinking about it.

01:13:27.000 It feels like all of these dystopian novels are competing and like I wonder you know Luke you have that shirt Yeah, I have a shirt about that.

01:13:34.000 It says you are here, and it's like the Venn diagram of all of them I have three of them, and then I have another shirt that has nine books and movies all together Just to make you know the point hit harder, but yeah, I mean you guys you got to watch Fever Vendetta Yeah.

01:13:46.000 We've said it before, but... Do you post a clip about, like, the... That's right!

01:13:50.000 I was like, whoa, this is close.

01:13:52.000 Dude!

01:13:53.000 So, uh, there's that... So we're talking about the Southwest pilots.

01:13:56.000 Yeah.

01:13:56.000 I'm watching local news, and they're like, you know, the airlines, you know, Southwest Airlines cancels 2,000 flights.

01:14:02.000 They say it was due to air traffic control and weather issues.

01:14:05.000 And then I look over at my friends, and I'm like, do you guys believe this bollocks?

01:14:08.000 Which is like, I'm directly, you know, quoting the line from Viva Veneta.

01:14:12.000 And then I'm like, I thought about it, I pulled the clip, Where Chancellor Sutler is like, I want them to remember why they need us!

01:14:19.000 And then, like, it shows the news clips, and the first clip, it says, Civil War in the former United States is destroying parts of the Midwest.

01:14:26.000 And I'm just like, oh man.

01:14:28.000 And then, like, a new pathogen is spreading, and I'm like, dude, this is all happening.

01:14:31.000 But, you know, outbreak in the quarantine zone.

01:14:33.000 Right, yup.

01:14:35.000 That's, yeah, you cut a little too close to home.

01:14:37.000 Yeah.

01:14:37.000 And that was, what, 2007-ish?

01:14:39.000 When would that movie come out?

01:14:40.000 Oh man, yeah, maybe.

01:14:41.000 It's a graphic novel, originally.

01:14:43.000 What the graphic novel was like was more than just the one story, I'm pretty sure.

01:14:48.000 The funny thing is, the V character, Guy Fawkes was a theocrat who wanted to blow up Parliament.

01:14:53.000 He wasn't some champion of liberty or anything.

01:14:56.000 He just wanted his own form of government.

01:14:58.000 But I digress.

01:14:59.000 I mean, a movie about a bunch of elites Who manufacture a fake virus, then buy stock in the company that produces the cure, use the virus to scare people into gaining political control, and then are pumping out mass propaganda.

01:15:15.000 I'm just like, ah jeez, that's like, that's like all the conspiracy theorists are probably like pointing at that.

01:15:20.000 Have you guys seen Utopia?

01:15:22.000 I'm not.

01:15:23.000 No. Yeah. So this is we've talked about this a lot, but this is the show on Amazon that canceled

01:15:27.000 because it's about a tech billionaire who's scared of overpopulation.

01:15:30.000 He tries making fake meat.

01:15:31.000 It's not working. So he stages a pandemic so that everyone will get a vaccine that sterilizes them.

01:15:36.000 The show was canceled.

01:15:39.000 People were like, hey.

01:15:40.000 Cut a little too close.

01:15:41.000 But like, you know, the weird thing is like, do people really believe that there's a powerful global elite tech mogul who's trying to sterilize everybody?

01:15:48.000 I think there's a lot of people who do.

01:15:50.000 Yeah.

01:15:51.000 But why cancel a show over it?

01:15:53.000 Do you really care about these fringe conspiracy theorists?

01:15:56.000 It would still scare enough people, I think.

01:15:58.000 And it would also, like, discourage folks.

01:15:59.000 I mean, whether it's true or not, you know, I don't necessarily think it's necessarily, like, you know, some cabal, like a bunch of, you know, fat cat billionaires, you know, sitting in a big room like this, smoking cigars, trying to figure out what to do.

01:16:08.000 But I think it's, like, very just decentralized.

01:16:09.000 Well, what if that's exactly what it was?

01:16:11.000 With, like, Bill Gates and, like, Jeff Bezos, and they're, like, smoking the cigars?

01:16:15.000 The biggest conspiracy theory out there is that there's not a conspiracy.

01:16:19.000 And the second one is that the government has never committed a conspiracy against you.

01:16:24.000 I forgot the exact quote, but...

01:16:26.000 I think there's a lot of room to believe that powerful people do come together and, you know, manipulate situations for the better.

01:16:33.000 Also, it's kind of brilliant that John Cusack is a part of that movie when he's blocking people left and right.

01:16:38.000 He blocked me, too, a long time ago.

01:16:41.000 Powerful people come together all the time to gain power and make money.

01:16:46.000 Sure.

01:16:46.000 Yeah.

01:16:46.000 Right.

01:16:46.000 Yeah.

01:16:46.000 It's called running business.

01:16:48.000 But when they get caught doing something, but when they're accused of wrongdoing,

01:16:51.000 now it's a conspiracy theory.

01:16:53.000 Look, do people in government have meetings and discuss public policy?

01:16:59.000 Yes, they do.

01:16:59.000 They do it all the time.

01:17:01.000 But do, okay, so what if the policy is a bad policy that would hurt people?

01:17:05.000 Oh, that's just a conspiracy theory.

01:17:07.000 I'm not advocating for any particular conspiracy theories.

01:17:09.000 I think we need hard evidence.

01:17:12.000 Of course.

01:17:12.000 And I think people need to realize that, you know, when it comes to, like, the Bill Gates conspiracy theories, you don't need to look for any deeper meaning.

01:17:18.000 He's literally saying it.

01:17:19.000 He literally says, we've got too many people, people need to have less kids, you need to stop eating meat.

01:17:24.000 He talks about what he wants to happen, and they write articles for it.

01:17:28.000 You know, the mainstream media runs articles all the time saying, stop having kids.

01:17:32.000 Big Meat is awesome.

01:17:33.000 It's amazing.

01:17:33.000 It's like they're doing his advertising and his PR.

01:17:35.000 And what I meant to say is that one of the biggest conspiracies is that the government has your best interest at heart.

01:17:42.000 That, to me, is an important slogan that a lot of people should remember.

01:17:45.000 But, you know, if we see how easily it is to buy off politicians, buy off scientists, if we see how multinational corporations are able to do whatever they want, it should send a chilling effect, especially when you understand history and how it's been welded and used Uh, throughout the last few years, when we have, you know, there's, uh, you know, one of the important, most important aspects of like fascism, for instance.

01:18:07.000 Right.

01:18:07.000 And it comes in like national socialism.

01:18:10.000 Right.

01:18:10.000 But the whole fascism thing is where you have major, major corporations, right.

01:18:14.000 Who cooperate for the government for their mutually, you almost always at the detriment of the people.

01:18:19.000 Now, instead we rebranded that and those are called public private partnerships.

01:18:23.000 Right.

01:18:24.000 Like that's what I mean.

01:18:25.000 It's the same thing.

01:18:26.000 They're just, you know, they're putting a bow on it and you see a lot of that right now.

01:18:29.000 And that's when we hear about corporatism going to, you know, crony corporations and all that stuff.

01:18:33.000 Like that's the stuff that's getting really scary and ugly.

01:18:36.000 And then one of the things you point out was the Russell, uh, what's that one?

01:18:38.000 Uh, how basically outside of the fan companies, the big tech companies, it's like the economy, if you take away all the big super tech companies, right.

01:18:45.000 It's like, yeah, they're down 10%.

01:18:47.000 Yeah.

01:18:47.000 The rest of the economy is down 10%.

01:18:49.000 But big tech's doing good.

01:18:51.000 Yeah.

01:18:51.000 And so because those, those few companies are just so massive.

01:18:54.000 So they're just kind of like pulling everybody else up.

01:18:56.000 But like, whereas like the rest of the economy is actually not doing so hot.

01:18:59.000 Maybe we just need to start referring to the Democrats and the, and the establishment Republicans as the corpos.

01:19:04.000 Just like they're the corporate, they don't care.

01:19:06.000 It's because look, you know, Luke talks about government, not having your best interest at heart, but what if, I think if you're actually going to talk to somebody who is not super politically initiated, they don't understand everything that Luke would be saying.

01:19:16.000 Yeah.

01:19:16.000 So their vision of government.

01:19:18.000 Is more like this, you know, young, naive view of, we all come together as people and then work for each other and help each other.

01:19:24.000 And it's like, in a certain point, some people realize it's a path for power and then they start exploiting the system.

01:19:29.000 So if you want to talk about the public good, I'm completely for you.

01:19:32.000 You know, if you say, Hey, we're all going to band together and start a fire department, volunteer fire department.

01:19:36.000 I'm like, that's fantastic.

01:19:37.000 That's awesome.

01:19:38.000 You want to talk about the government, we're usually referring to like corporate, you know, style, like, uh, well-funded establishment, corrupt individuals.

01:19:47.000 And then you get the democratic establishment and the Republican establishment.

01:19:51.000 And I think the only reason the Republican establishment is doing nothing is because they know if they go up against the Trump populist types, they lose whatever power they have.

01:19:58.000 And so long as they feign actually resisting, they can obstruct.

01:20:02.000 Meanwhile, the Democrat corporate, you know, corrupt, whatever, they're just literally trying to burn the whole thing down.

01:20:08.000 Doesn't John Zemiric say that?

01:20:09.000 They're like the Washington Generals versus the Harlem Globetroppers?

01:20:13.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

01:20:16.000 And there was one good friend of mine who, he's still active duty, but he used to work as a legislative fellow, so he worked for a staffer, and he worked in the Senate.

01:20:25.000 And one of the things he said really quickly, you'll notice he pointed out to me, he said it kind of as a joke, and I was like, well, maybe not really.

01:20:29.000 He's like, I can tell there's like a cabal.

01:20:32.000 Between how or between Senate Republicans and House Democrats right like they're kind of you know that what they're doing and what's interesting even within Congress itself is how and he's not the only guy that told me about this is how a lot of the division isn't necessarily along party lines like Republican Democrat a lot of it so much House and Senate.

01:20:50.000 I don't know.

01:20:51.000 I'm testing our new studio.

01:20:52.000 We have a coffee maker and some new walking lines.

01:20:56.000 So I've been bumping in front of you guys.

01:20:58.000 But I think coffee's a little loud to do during the show.

01:21:00.000 I don't think I'm going to do that.

01:21:01.000 I don't actually think you can hear it on the mics.

01:21:03.000 It's just like a white noise, maybe.

01:21:06.000 Why are you drinking coffee at close to 9 p.m.?

01:21:09.000 Because I'm in a state of psychosis because the media is making me not understand what's real and what's fake.

01:21:16.000 I think we're all experiencing a state of psychosis right now.

01:21:19.000 I don't think we are.

01:21:21.000 Well, I was looking up the definition of psychosis, and it's like when you don't know the difference between reality and fake.

01:21:27.000 We're just talking about conspiracies.

01:21:28.000 I don't know what's real and what's not.

01:21:30.000 Well, but there's a difference.

01:21:31.000 Like, if you're someone who thinks that the birds are talking to you and you can't tell if you're imagining it or not, that's psychosis.

01:21:36.000 Yeah, that's a danger.

01:21:37.000 If you're saying, like, I don't know whether or not this corporation has my best interests at heart... Actually, I'm sorry, they typically don't.

01:21:44.000 But yeah, if you can't tell the difference between, like, Rachel Maddow in news, You know, maybe there's some psychosis there, I guess.

01:21:51.000 That's crazy.

01:21:51.000 I'm kidding, by the way.

01:21:52.000 Like, if people are being kept ignorant, it doesn't mean they're crazy.

01:21:55.000 It just means they're being manipulated.

01:21:56.000 And so many people, like, you know, you know, guys in this room, like, especially you guys, it's like, following the news is your job, right?

01:22:02.000 It's a huge part of your job.

01:22:03.000 And a lot of folks are really into it.

01:22:04.000 It's kind of like their passive high.

01:22:05.000 But, you know, one of the things that, and people were in the know, like, you guys are like super well known.

01:22:09.000 But for, there's so many folks out there where it's like, they might catch a little bit of the news, right?

01:22:13.000 They might catch this, but it's like, they got, You know, uh, wives and husbands, kids, mortgages, jobs.

01:22:20.000 And it's like, I don't have time for this.

01:22:22.000 Like a lot of folks don't realize, like, it's just, it's not a huge part of their like day.

01:22:27.000 And when I talk to folks afterwards, like, oh yeah, I got a couple of friends, media did this, this, this, you know, they don't know what we're talking about half the time.

01:22:32.000 They really don't.

01:22:33.000 I mean, and you know, maybe they're, and they're going to like vote if they vote, they're going to vote just, oh, I grew up a Republican or I grew up a Democrat.

01:22:40.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:22:41.000 And then it backfires.

01:22:42.000 Yeah.

01:22:42.000 They don't know who they're voting for.

01:22:44.000 I think one of the things that's really good, and one of the best benefits, and I still think why social media is like a net positive for society as a whole, and Malice has said this so many times, I think it's so true, is like, it allows the average person to call, you know, our elites out on their BS.

01:23:02.000 Right.

01:23:02.000 Like, immediately.

01:23:02.000 And it was a great example.

01:23:04.000 It was like, just this whole thing happened with us.

01:23:05.000 Like, it turns out, like, some normal guys end up kind of breaking the story, and we've got reporters calling us, And also when they start putting out press releases like, oh no, the FAA said it's fine, nothing happened.

01:23:14.000 Or South Dakota's like, no, no, no.

01:23:16.000 And if we didn't have social media, we wouldn't have that.

01:23:18.000 Like, nobody would know.

01:23:19.000 Right.

01:23:19.000 Nobody would tell.

01:23:20.000 And like, that's really, really good.

01:23:22.000 Despite all the other problems with social media, which are massive flaws, which are there.

01:23:25.000 So that's a huge thing, man.

01:23:26.000 Just believing these talking heads.

01:23:28.000 I think that's one thing Viva Veneta didn't have.

01:23:30.000 Yeah.

01:23:30.000 Social media.

01:23:31.000 So people were just watching the news, like, is this true?

01:23:34.000 Nowadays, people just go on Facebook and Twitter and Rumble, Gab, whatever, YouTube, they'll post and people can see alternatives.

01:23:41.000 The establishment's trying to do everything in its power to make that not.

01:23:44.000 Yeah, that Hunter Biden laptop thing got, that New York Post story got basically muted by Twitter.

01:23:49.000 I've just looked up the definition of psychosis, an abnormal condition of the mind that results in difficulties determining what is real and what is not real.

01:23:57.000 I think society is experiencing psychosis because of the amount of media that's coming from all these different angles where they'll say, it's dangerous.

01:24:05.000 No, it's not dangerous.

01:24:06.000 It's good for you.

01:24:07.000 It's bad for you.

01:24:08.000 Yeah.

01:24:09.000 And their perception of reality is also being manipulated by the social media algorithms.

01:24:13.000 And a lot of the perceptions that we see online are not the true perceptions of our reality as well.

01:24:19.000 And the voices that are talking may not be the most important voices either, or the most, you know, they're conveying what the masses feel.

01:24:24.000 I mean, to Tom's point, who has time, you know, as an average hard-working American to try to find source documents?

01:24:31.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:24:32.000 People work?

01:24:33.000 So for those who do, for those who do, I mean, and it just takes so much time to do that.

01:24:38.000 So who are you going to believe?

01:24:40.000 And I think that's why, you know, people do latch onto conspiracy theories because they don't trust mainstream media.

01:24:44.000 So who do they trust?

01:24:46.000 And that's in platforms like this.

01:24:49.000 Maybe that's why cult worship is so popular right now.

01:24:51.000 Why people get so latched on to an individual, like, where they'll believe whatever that... I like that guy, so no matter what he says, I'm gonna follow him.

01:24:58.000 Fauci! 0.94

01:24:58.000 It's the hope principle. 0.94

01:25:00.000 They want some kind of hope.

01:25:01.000 They want to latch on to somebody that they believe is telling them the truth.

01:25:05.000 And, I mean, because a lot of times I'm in the same boat.

01:25:07.000 I don't necessarily know what to believe, but there are times like this where we're talking to people who are actually flight attendants and pilots and air traffic controllers.

01:25:13.000 They're telling us one thing, we're seeing what's coming out in the media, and we're like, that does not connect.

01:25:17.000 I was doing a lot of work on the border, as an example, with Border Special Operations Group.

01:25:21.000 The same people who were there when AOC went down there to visit, you know, on the border, talking to the sector chiefs.

01:25:27.000 I saw the same videos they showed the members of Congress, and it was night and day different.

01:25:33.000 And that's where I can say, I know that they're not telling the truth in this case.

01:25:36.000 I got this tweet from Matthew Iglesias.

01:25:37.000 He's one of the founders of Vox.

01:25:39.000 He said, a lot of debates on here are people who are to the left of 98% of the public deciding that people who are to the left of 75% of the public are huge right-wingers and it gets tiresome.

01:25:50.000 He said, this is an interesting poll from last summer.

01:25:52.000 Check this out.

01:25:54.000 Voters are less likely to view Biden as moderate than they were earlier this year.

01:25:57.000 The ideal candidate On a scale, they say 1 being very liberal, 7 being very conservative, and 4 being right in the middle, the ideal candidate is slightly to the right.

01:26:10.000 Wow.

01:26:10.000 4.2 on the scale, leaning conservative, and they say Trump is rated as a 5.7, and Biden is a 2.8.

01:26:16.000 Now for a lot of people, they'll look at Biden, 2.8 is closer to them, and if this is the case, they'll probably point that direction.

01:26:23.000 However, I think if you're paying attention to the news, you'd realize that Donald Trump is actually substantially closer to moderate, and they view him far right when he's not.

01:26:31.000 He's 1994 Bill Clinton.

01:26:32.000 Right.

01:26:33.000 On paper.

01:26:33.000 Yep.

01:26:34.000 Yeah.

01:26:34.000 You know, it's amazing.

01:26:35.000 Like, if you watch, like, State of the Union and stuff like that, and you see, like, some of the speeches, you're like, uh, he sounds a lot like, uh, Bill Clinton sounds a lot like Trump.

01:26:41.000 Yeah.

01:26:41.000 right there, you know, on like immigration, crime, like all this stuff is amazing.

01:26:45.000 I was like, it was actually really quite stunning.

01:26:47.000 He's a New York liberal.

01:26:48.000 Yeah.

01:26:49.000 That's the craziest thing to me.

01:26:50.000 And he ran as a conservative.

01:26:51.000 And I think that that is part of what broke the Democratic party.

01:26:54.000 Yeah.

01:26:55.000 All of a sudden they had no identity.

01:26:56.000 But if the Republicans support helping the middle-class and you know, gay marriage, what are the Democrats in?

01:27:03.000 Yeah, they had Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard and like they just ignored them.

01:27:07.000 It was so crazy.

01:27:08.000 I think it was just because business interests had control of the organization with Hillary Clinton's, you know, email scandal being if nothing else that the shining, you know, red light warning sign that something wrong was was going on.

01:27:21.000 Yeah.

01:27:22.000 And that was so much as well, like that's one of the things the left like really latched on to was so much of this like, you know, fake, well it's not completely fake, but mostly fake issues of, you know, all the systemic this and the woke this, the social justice, like it just totally played up.

01:27:35.000 And because, and then when they saw them, they saw them in Occupy Wall Street, you know, that's where, Tim, that's where you, you know, earned your jobs, where you kind of really got started was, what was that?

01:27:43.000 2011.

01:27:44.000 10 years ago.

01:27:45.000 Yeah, it was 10 years ago, right?

01:27:46.000 And that's where you really kind of got started, right?

01:27:49.000 Where, like, how'd it get on the map?

01:27:50.000 Is that, I mean?

01:27:51.000 I started doing, uh, live streaming coverage.

01:27:53.000 One of the first people to actually do live streaming and commentary of these, these big newsworthy events.

01:27:57.000 And the mainstream media loved it.

01:27:58.000 Which was huge, man.

01:27:59.000 It was huge.

01:28:00.000 And it was, it was great.

01:28:01.000 And, but things like, but it was during that time where it's like, okay, we, you know, this economic stuff, right?

01:28:06.000 We're all jobless.

01:28:07.000 And, you know, at the same time, I think you had Peter Schiff up, you know, walk down there and he's like, Hey, I am the 1%.

01:28:11.000 And he's like, Hey, you're in the wrong city.

01:28:13.000 Y'all need to go to DC.

01:28:14.000 That was like, at least the argument he made.

01:28:16.000 I was there when that happened.

01:28:17.000 Ian was also down there.

01:28:19.000 No kidding.

01:28:20.000 That was a big transitional.

01:28:22.000 That's where I met Luke.

01:28:24.000 That's so cool.

01:28:25.000 How did you guys know each other that long?

01:28:26.000 That's awesome.

01:28:26.000 From Occupy.

01:28:27.000 Went there with Bill Ottman and then we went to the after, it was like the Brain Trust where there was like 50 people sitting in a circle.

01:28:32.000 I was there for those.

01:28:33.000 Okay, I didn't know you at that time, but you were there too.

01:28:35.000 That's so crazy.

01:28:36.000 And it was, they were like, Mayor Bloomberg's, we gotta take him out, we gotta get him, he's a bad guy.

01:28:39.000 And I'm like, I was like, you guys, you need to use him as an ally if you want to win this thing.

01:28:44.000 And they're like, No, he's a bad guy.

01:28:46.000 We got it.

01:28:47.000 And I'm like, oh, these zealots.

01:28:48.000 That was such an exciting time.

01:28:51.000 It was so weird.

01:28:52.000 I mean, you had so many random things.

01:28:54.000 I mean, there was events where people came down and gave free haircuts to people who needed haircuts for free.

01:29:00.000 There was celebrities coming down.

01:29:02.000 I remember Rosie O'Donnell came down and she found me.

01:29:06.000 She's like, hey, I I know you and so many other celebrities so many other politicians so many other people started the conversation there and you know you could say a lot of negative things about it as well but but I think this was a shock to a lot of the establishment saying whoa whoa whoa we have Obama as president and these people are not happy with the way that the financial systems run with all the corruption it has 0.82

01:29:26.000 Holy crap, we gotta invent social justice warriors. 0.99

01:29:29.000 Exactly. 0.99

01:29:30.000 Holy cow, we need some wokeness for these people so they fight each other instead of understanding how everyone else is screwing them over. 1.00

01:29:37.000 And you guys are obviously, you and everyone else down there, it's like, that's kind of where you guys, you know, got started in a lot of ways, right?

01:29:42.000 I mean, you were like, kind of put yourself on the map, which is huge, which also, by the way, very successful.

01:29:46.000 Well, Luke had a pretty big channel back then.

01:29:47.000 Yeah.

01:29:48.000 No, yeah, you did.

01:29:48.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:29:49.000 But it was like, and now it's like, well, you guys don't like that's awesome.

01:29:51.000 And now it, but the thing is like the other side, the enemy class, they saw that and they responded.

01:29:55.000 And quite frankly, they responded, I think very effectively for them from their perspective.

01:30:00.000 Right.

01:30:00.000 And, and I think they've been largely successful thus far.

01:30:03.000 However, I think there's enough people out there that are starting to catch on, you know, a lot of folks were just like, wait, wait, wait, wait, maybe they're full of it.

01:30:10.000 Their psyop could only work for so long until people realize at the end of the day that they're getting the wrong end of the stick.

01:30:18.000 And they're getting screwed over even more than they did before in 2011.

01:30:22.000 But again, the divide and conquer agenda, the wokeness, I think that has been deliberately upplayed in order to get rid of this populist energy of being robbed.

01:30:31.000 I noticed one thing while we were down there at Occupy was Bank of America across the street, they were like, all of a sudden one day they just started doing street construction right next to Zuccotti Park.

01:30:41.000 It's loud all night, it would be just massive construction, so it made me realize the vulnerability and centralization of a movement.

01:30:49.000 You do want to hold land to protest, but if you're going to centralize it, I don't think that's effective against the empire right now.

01:30:56.000 The decentralized currency seems like... I'm surprised the U.S.

01:31:00.000 hasn't adopted decentralized currency yet.

01:31:03.000 If they want to arm up on China.

01:31:05.000 Let's go, Brandon.

01:31:07.000 That's a lot of comments.

01:31:08.000 Let's go, Brandon.

01:31:09.000 Let's go, Brandon.

01:31:12.000 Man, man.

01:31:13.000 How about we go to Super Chats, everybody?

01:31:14.000 If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, and go to TimCast.com, become a member, because we're going to have a members-only segment coming up around 11 or so PM, as we always do.

01:31:23.000 And that just means we get this massive library of content.

01:31:26.000 You can go back and watch all of these bonus segments with all these other people you know and love.

01:31:29.000 And we're also going to be starting the new members-only show with the Tales from the Inverted World crew.

01:31:34.000 But Shane is actually flying to Georgia to track down lost Confederate gold for a long series of a bunch of crazy stories.

01:31:41.000 It's going to be a whole lot of fun.

01:31:42.000 So we'll try and work that out and start getting those shows produced.

01:31:45.000 But again, TimCast.com, smash the like button.

01:31:47.000 Let's read some of these super chats we got.

01:31:49.000 Your mom says, just got my concealed carry today.

01:31:53.000 Also, when is the Cast Castle getting a pet raccoon?

01:31:56.000 I don't know, but Luke and I once went to a raccoon cafe.

01:31:58.000 Yes, we did in South Korea.

01:32:00.000 We made a video about it.

01:32:01.000 With actual raccoons?

01:32:03.000 Yeah.

01:32:04.000 In North Korea, they have different cafes with different animals that you can interact with when you go buy tea.

01:32:11.000 Were they cool?

01:32:12.000 Yeah.

01:32:12.000 They were pretty interesting creatures.

01:32:13.000 I always liked them.

01:32:14.000 My parents were like, don't touch them.

01:32:15.000 We did a live stream at a dog cafe.

01:32:17.000 That was really fun.

01:32:18.000 And there was like 50 dogs in a space like this.

01:32:21.000 Jumping on tables.

01:32:23.000 It was fun.

01:32:24.000 You could buy dog treats and raccoon treats.

01:32:27.000 Let me read this one.

01:32:28.000 Woot do for you says, all my local grocery stores here in Georgia have rotten produce on the shelves.

01:32:33.000 Buckle up folks. 0.98

01:32:35.000 Hope you fellow beanie folk paid attention. 0.98

01:32:37.000 Yeah, man, you know, we, we, we were, uh, so there's, so, uh, I'm going to say this, not, not a promo, but I got to tell the context.

01:32:45.000 So safeandreadymeals.com is one of the things that we, we, we sometimes promote.

01:32:48.000 I did a promo for them earlier today because I'm like, now more than ever, I genuinely think it's a good idea to have this stuff as emergency food.

01:32:54.000 Augustin Farms, which is another big provider, on their website says they're no longer taking orders.

01:32:59.000 Wow.

01:32:59.000 And there's a letter circulating where some of their vendors got cut off completely.

01:33:03.000 They were like, we can't get the materials we need.

01:33:06.000 And so I actually called them to ask them and they said, that is just for some business clientele, like vendors or something.

01:33:13.000 That have been no longer, that they're cutting off service to for three months.

01:33:16.000 And on their website it says, you cannot place orders.

01:33:18.000 But they're like, you can go on other websites if you want to find it.

01:33:20.000 And I'm like, yeah, like third parties?

01:33:22.000 Yeah.

01:33:24.000 So, you know, I talk about this emergency food stuff and people laugh.

01:33:28.000 Now, now you're lucky if you can get it.

01:33:30.000 What do you think?

01:33:30.000 The prices are going up.

01:33:31.000 Beans, is that the best?

01:33:32.000 The ultimate?

01:33:33.000 Beans and rice.

01:33:34.000 Rice.

01:33:34.000 Yeah, rice and beans.

01:33:36.000 Hmm.

01:33:36.000 Interesting.

01:33:36.000 Check this out, BN says, friend's mom works for Southwest Corporate.

01:33:39.000 I asked her if she knows what's going on.

01:33:41.000 Her response verbatim, pilots are calling in sick since they can't legally strike because

01:33:46.000 they are fighting the federal mandate.

01:33:48.000 Interesting.

01:33:50.000 Wow.

01:33:51.000 Josh says, new stream quality is legit.

01:33:53.000 Can't wait to see more art in the studio.

01:33:55.000 Absolutely.

01:33:56.000 Yeah, so that's one of the things we do.

01:33:57.000 We do have a bunch of art.

01:33:58.000 We brought on some of the art.

01:33:59.000 I'm really surprised we were able to get the studio up and running by today.

01:34:02.000 So I came in here like at four, like three o'clock or four, and I'm just like, I don't think we'll be ready by today.

01:34:07.000 And then we made it, we made it happen.

01:34:09.000 Actually, maybe we didn't make it happen.

01:34:10.000 Maybe we're literally just doing it, we're not ready.

01:34:12.000 I heard there's some feedback that it's too bright, which I could be down with dimming the lights maybe 20%, trying that tomorrow.

01:34:18.000 I think it's our center lights.

01:34:20.000 And then that there was a little bit of echo, so maybe we can put like, sound dance.

01:34:23.000 Yeah, people are saying I look like Casper the Ghost on the stream.

01:34:27.000 I got a Twitter comment saying the visual quality is much, much better.

01:34:31.000 Yeah, we increased.

01:34:32.000 Yeah, it's good.

01:34:33.000 And it's noticed.

01:34:34.000 That's the point.

01:34:35.000 Here's the thing, though.

01:34:36.000 Previously, we were streaming at about 2 kilobits per second.

01:34:38.000 I'm sorry, 2 megabits per second.

01:34:40.000 Jeez, 2 megabits per second.

01:34:43.000 Which, uh, you know, limits quality.

01:34:46.000 Now we're at 10.

01:34:47.000 But that means, you know, we have backups.

01:34:52.000 If we have to hit one of our connection backups, satellite or other land, the quality will drop along with it.

01:34:57.000 Yeah.

01:34:58.000 Uh, hey, Tim, if I may, uh, may I read a super chat from my fiance?

01:35:01.000 Oh, absolutely.

01:35:02.000 Natalie writes, Bosco keeps getting confused when he hears his dad on TV.

01:35:06.000 That's our, uh, our golden retriever.

01:35:07.000 So Bosco, follow at Bosco Sauer is a handsome little, uh, golden retriever about a year old anyways, but he can hear me on TV.

01:35:14.000 So, hey Bosco!

01:35:15.000 Good job, Bosco!

01:35:19.000 Cajun Red says, you've got some feedback and squealing on the audio.

01:35:23.000 Oh man, we tried switching out our mixer board, trying to figure out what was going on, because we're using an analog connection in the computer, we're getting interference.

01:35:31.000 And so we tried using a USB workaround, didn't work.

01:35:37.000 So we just tried doing a thicker, better cable, and then eventually we put a filter on it.

01:35:42.000 So if you're hearing squealing, like, It was worse before.

01:35:45.000 We were talking about maybe using the other studio up until about 7.15 and then we're like, let's, we're committed.

01:35:50.000 Well, because, because if we don't do it, then we don't solve it.

01:35:53.000 Right?

01:35:54.000 So on our, on our monitors, everything sounds perfect, but the output, something's happening too.

01:35:58.000 So we didn't learn this until we started trying to do it.

01:36:01.000 Now we're going to have the audio recording.

01:36:02.000 We're going to go in, we're going to try and isolate what it is.

01:36:04.000 And then by tomorrow it should be worked out.

01:36:06.000 But if you're, if you're too scared to move forward because you don't know what the problems you're going to have are, then you're never going to move forward.

01:36:10.000 So that's why I got that coffee midstream.

01:36:13.000 But also, a lot of people are mentioning that they don't hear it.

01:36:16.000 That, I guess, when we're talking, you can't really hear it when there's quiet periods.

01:36:19.000 It, you know, comes through, I guess.

01:36:20.000 We're never quiet, so... Nicholas Kosmic says, if Luke is a vagrant t-shirt vendor, he would fit right in around Seattle.

01:36:28.000 Hey, mention us once in a while.

01:36:29.000 I live rurally in Washington, and our state is blue flu.

01:36:32.000 Interesting, really.

01:36:35.000 Woah Man says, y'all look amazing for your information.

01:36:37.000 Thank you very much.

01:36:37.000 Very good, thank you.

01:36:38.000 All right.

01:36:40.000 Delhiopolis says, Robo Biden 2024, dead or alive, you're coming with me.

01:36:44.000 To the thing, like, anyway, uh, that you, you like to be able, uh, whatever.

01:36:49.000 Man, that, that whatever from Biden was like the most, like the worst.

01:36:54.000 When was this?

01:36:54.000 Whatever?

01:36:55.000 Yeah, remember when he was talking and he was like, you know, we gotta, you know, work together.

01:37:01.000 Whatever.

01:37:01.000 I saw a Twitter video of him from like the late 90s and him today.

01:37:09.000 Oh yeah.

01:37:09.000 Oh, he was sharp back in the day.

01:37:11.000 He was like anti-authoritarian kind of.

01:37:14.000 I mean, at least he's talked about like the freedom of the individual.

01:37:17.000 I think he was all about whatever kept him in office.

01:37:20.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:37:20.000 Yeah, I think that's what he was talking about.

01:37:22.000 Jump trash.

01:37:22.000 It worked.

01:37:23.000 Yeah, obviously.

01:37:24.000 I mean, it's amazing.

01:37:25.000 But yeah, it is actually just really scary to see that, and you're like, oh man.

01:37:28.000 And it's also getting to the point where it's like, how can anybody deny this?

01:37:30.000 Even his own folks, you know?

01:37:32.000 It's just, come on, guys.

01:37:34.000 It's bad.

01:37:34.000 It's really bad.

01:37:35.000 That's why I still think Trump's got a shot.

01:37:37.000 I really do.

01:37:37.000 I mean, like it or not, I think that's what, I think something really might happen there.

01:37:41.000 This is interesting.

01:37:42.000 Steven Faber says the reason why they said weather is because federal law says if the flights are delayed for any other reason, the airline must get hotels.

01:37:49.000 We talked about that.

01:37:50.000 Yeah, because I've been delayed.

01:37:52.000 Lots of them have been delayed for weather.

01:37:53.000 Happened.

01:37:54.000 They're like, sorry.

01:37:54.000 Act of God.

01:37:55.000 You know, force majeure.

01:37:56.000 Like, sorry, guys.

01:37:57.000 But if it's them, they got to put you up.

01:37:58.000 Right.

01:37:58.000 And they'll wait for any little excuse.

01:38:00.000 Yeah.

01:38:00.000 Correct.

01:38:01.000 But can then there's a class action suit in waiting now because they lied about the weather?

01:38:05.000 Can that be confirmed?

01:38:06.000 I think it's pretty tough to do.

01:38:07.000 I mean, I suppose it's possible.

01:38:09.000 Yeah.

01:38:10.000 But I mean, I think that might be a tough one.

01:38:11.000 I mean, they've already got some lawsuits coming they could deal with anyways, but why not pile on?

01:38:15.000 You'd think it would be tough to lie about the weather, too, but apparently not.

01:38:18.000 The union is suing them now about the Vax mandates.

01:38:21.000 All right, we got one from Tak Fujii.

01:38:23.000 Luke, I've been following you and We Are Change for like 15-ish years and you've never responded to a comment of mine.

01:38:29.000 I don't think they were such weak sauce, they never deserved a reply, lol.

01:38:32.000 No, Luke, we puke.

01:38:34.000 I try to read as many comments as I can, and I appreciate the comments.

01:38:38.000 That's not true.

01:38:39.000 I remember the other day, Luke was talking about Takfuji, and he was like, the Takfuji guy.

01:38:43.000 I get so mad when I see him.

01:38:44.000 I'm never responding to that comment.

01:38:46.000 Sure.

01:38:46.000 All right.

01:38:47.000 He forced my hand.

01:38:48.000 Yep.

01:38:49.000 Poxa says, Newport News Shipyard has 11,000 workers and management fighting the jab.

01:38:54.000 We have three commissioned aircraft carriers and three subs at NNS right now.

01:38:57.000 Real bad.

01:38:59.000 Wow, man. 0.88

01:39:00.000 Crazy.

01:39:00.000 Yeah.

01:39:01.000 I mean, those are national assets.

01:39:02.000 You think about that, right?

01:39:03.000 Like an aircraft, like a commissioned aircraft carrier or nuclear submarine.

01:39:06.000 And it's like, they can't, and they need to work on them.

01:39:08.000 Like those things are, you know, it's not like a, you know, Honda Civic where you just like, leave it alone, just pop in those things.

01:39:13.000 Those are incredibly labor intensive.

01:39:15.000 It takes a lot, a lot, a lot of skilled labor.

01:39:17.000 And it's like NNS at Norfolk Naval Shipyard, right?

01:39:20.000 Like it's not, I mean, guys, that's a, that's a big deal.

01:39:23.000 That's a big deal.

01:39:25.000 So it's scary.

01:39:26.000 Our, our military readiness is not nearly as good as we might advertise, by the way.

01:39:30.000 In general.

01:39:30.000 Unreasonably angry says, hi guys.

01:39:32.000 I ordered my first AR and it's coming in on Friday.

01:39:35.000 Luke, would you have recommendations for iron sights?

01:39:38.000 Also, let's go Brandon.

01:39:39.000 Yes.

01:39:39.000 Well, red dots are usually a lot more better, but it's good to practice, have a lot of fun and, uh, just, just, you know, look up how to use it to get training and, uh, have fun with it.

01:39:52.000 All right.

01:39:53.000 Let's see what we got here.

01:39:55.000 Reverend C says Eric July has a new project launching in comics.

01:40:01.000 He's going to create culture for future generations.

01:40:03.000 When he makes his announcement for his comic, you could bring him on and talk comics and politics.

01:40:07.000 Love the new set, guys.

01:40:08.000 Yeah, that'd be awesome.

01:40:12.000 A lot of people sending us love, saying new studio looks awesome.

01:40:15.000 Joseph Asturo says, Tim, invest in a lint roller for your beanie for the camera.

01:40:20.000 Timcast IRL is the freshest breath of air I get all day.

01:40:22.000 Thanks for all you guys do.

01:40:24.000 You're welcome.

01:40:25.000 I will get a lint roller.

01:40:26.000 Thank you for the advice.

01:40:27.000 I love you for that comment.

01:40:28.000 We have one, yeah.

01:40:30.000 It's a fresh breath comment.

01:40:34.000 Let's see.

01:40:35.000 GG Player says, Tim, I don't really like the new studio, unlike the last one.

01:40:39.000 It doesn't distinguish you as the host of the podcast.

01:40:41.000 Actually, it looks like Luke is the blank.

01:40:44.000 Blank?

01:40:45.000 Blank?

01:40:46.000 The blank?

01:40:48.000 The leader.

01:40:48.000 I don't know, Luke.

01:40:48.000 That's because he has that wide shot.

01:40:50.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:40:51.000 Yeah, Luke wants to be zoomed out.

01:40:53.000 It's only a matter of time.

01:40:54.000 Oh, okay.

01:40:55.000 Alright.

01:40:56.000 Rudecast.

01:40:57.000 Rudecast IRL.

01:41:00.000 Alright, let's see.

01:41:01.000 Now we know.

01:41:02.000 Let's grab some good, uh, super chats.

01:41:06.000 James Nelson says the angles of the cameras is a bit jarring.

01:41:08.000 Looking down on everyone.

01:41:10.000 Tim no longer seems to be looking into the camera.

01:41:12.000 Uh, can do sometimes.

01:41:14.000 Yeah.

01:41:14.000 Just like that?

01:41:15.000 Yeah, but there were periods during when, like, you know, I'll look more in the camera, but, you know, we're getting in there.

01:41:20.000 Uh, Ghost Crusader says, Hey Tim, think about having a chat on your site for members to chat.

01:41:24.000 Absolutely good idea.

01:41:25.000 We've been, we've been talking about implementing that, but we're trying to do a mobile at first.

01:41:30.000 Um, and then I think we're gonna have a site-wide chat.

01:41:31.000 So people on the chat are in it.

01:41:32.000 There's gonna be an active chat room.

01:41:33.000 So there you go.

01:41:35.000 Aiden Moss says, Hey Tim, it's my dad's birthday.

01:41:37.000 He is turning 27, is a huge fan.

01:41:39.000 Keep up the awesome content.

01:41:40.000 Happy birthday, dad.

01:41:42.000 Happy birthday.

01:41:43.000 Nice! 0.94

01:41:45.000 Quincy Burks says, I'm getting fired from my job.

01:41:50.000 Great benefits and a six-figure salary all over mandates.

01:41:52.000 I joined the Army National Guard at 17, and I've been serving my country in some capacity for 24 years, and now I'm being betrayed by it.

01:41:58.000 Geez.

01:41:58.000 Nice, man.

01:41:59.000 Sorry.

01:42:01.000 All right, we got Christopher Bell.

01:42:02.000 He says, New York Union operating engineer who lives on Long Island.

01:42:06.000 I quit and will go back if and when the mandate is gone.

01:42:10.000 Very good.

01:42:10.000 Wow.

01:42:12.000 Mike, Mr. Hunt, first name Mike, says, TimCastGang, if you have Snapchat, look at the snap map in Taipei, Taiwan.

01:42:21.000 You can see military vehicles and equipment massing on the streets.

01:42:24.000 Do you think this could go nuclear?

01:42:26.000 I signed up with Fortitude Ranch, thanks to you.

01:42:28.000 Very cool.

01:42:29.000 They're a recreation and survivalist community.

01:42:32.000 So you can go out there and they've got a shooting range and there's a dog and roosters.

01:42:35.000 It's a whole lot of fun.

01:42:36.000 But what do you guys think?

01:42:37.000 Nuclear over Taiwan?

01:42:38.000 I don't think so.

01:42:38.000 I think it could, but...

01:42:40.000 There was a time where we would have.

01:42:41.000 Like I said, that was the first time we ever actually threatened to nuke anybody in those Eisenhower.

01:42:45.000 But these days, I don't think so.

01:42:47.000 Well, at least at that time in the 50s, China wasn't nuclear capable.

01:42:51.000 But right now, it's like, no, they can hurt us a lot too.

01:42:54.000 I think any sort of a nuclear exchange... And actually, frankly, Colin was on a nuclear ballistic missile submarine.

01:42:59.000 That's what he did for a living, like an apocalypse.

01:43:02.000 you know, submarine warhead with 24 missile tubes. I think like if it was its own country,

01:43:06.000 would have been the fifth most powerful country in the world. An Ohio class submarine. The thing 0.78

01:43:09.000 carries what 20, 24 missiles, eight warheads per missile, you know, and I do. Well, they'll have

01:43:13.000 to look it up online. I'm not sure what's Yeah, there we go.

01:43:16.000 That's a good answer.

01:43:17.000 Good. I'll say that. But whereas you were counter nuke, I guess that makes me pro nuke.

01:43:20.000 I guess.

01:43:21.000 Yeah.

01:43:22.000 I would imagine there's just nuclear submarines all over the West coast of us that are Chinese waiting. 1.00

01:43:27.000 And then a bunch of American ones on the East coast of China.

01:43:30.000 The way that works, like in general terms, like the, and since you can't talk about Colin, so this is what I read online, right?

01:43:35.000 Where it was where, where, you know, for the fleet, you got your attack submarines and they operate with the fleet, right?

01:43:39.000 They're there to protect that and to do all their missions.

01:43:41.000 But then you have the ballistic missile submarines where like They don't operate with anybody.

01:43:45.000 They're alone.

01:43:45.000 There's a platform.

01:43:46.000 They're supposed to go out alone.

01:43:47.000 They punch a hole, go out for late night, and they just cruise and stay hidden.

01:43:51.000 They stay quiet, and they're just there to wait for the call that nobody wants.

01:43:56.000 So we always have submarines, both oceans, and we don't even know exactly where they are.

01:44:00.000 We don't know where our own submarines are.

01:44:02.000 Large swaths of the ocean will be operating.

01:44:04.000 But the whole idea there is strategic deterrence.

01:44:07.000 So if another country chose to take out our entire nation, there's nothing left, we would still be able to strike back.

01:44:13.000 Yep.

01:44:13.000 Wow.

01:44:13.000 That's the whole purpose behind it, that whole nuclear triad and second strike capability.

01:44:17.000 They call it a second strike and everyone has that.

01:44:19.000 That's why it exists.

01:44:20.000 And so like right now you'll say it's like, oh yeah, there's a USS, you know, Alabama or whatever.

01:44:24.000 It's operating, you know, I'm just making this up, like in the Northern Pacific Ocean.

01:44:28.000 And like, that's literally like the only people that know exactly where they are are the people on the boat.

01:44:32.000 Wow.

01:44:33.000 Yeah.

01:44:33.000 And I think as far as military technology, there's weapons that are stronger and bigger than nuclear weapons that we don't even know about yet.

01:44:41.000 Like a sonic weapon?

01:44:42.000 Something like that.

01:44:43.000 Yeah, but I think they realized a long time ago just vaporizing something isn't necessarily the best thing.

01:44:48.000 Like Ian was saying, if you want to control it, you don't want to blow it up.

01:44:51.000 There's better ways.

01:44:51.000 Right.

01:44:52.000 If you blow it up, especially on the nuclear stuff, you're going to blow yourself up.

01:44:55.000 Yep.

01:44:56.000 We got Bruno Bronowski says, please be inclusive and stop saying mandate.

01:45:00.000 It's a vaccine mandate.

01:45:03.000 See what you did there.

01:45:04.000 Woman date.

01:45:06.000 All right, let's see.

01:45:09.000 Seth Adam Smith says, Big idea for the team at Timcast.

01:45:11.000 Start your own version of SNL.

01:45:13.000 Invite people like Ryan Long, JP Sears, and others to send in original sketches for a weekly comedy show.

01:45:17.000 It would be hilarious and it would smoke the competition. 0.99

01:45:20.000 That is correct and it would.

01:45:21.000 Dude, I was just talking to Andreas about that and Chris wants to do that too.

01:45:26.000 The first thing I thought was that would be so hot on YouTube.

01:45:30.000 That would be so hot.

01:45:31.000 Even if it was on the vlog channel, Thursdays at 6 is like a different show on that channel.

01:45:36.000 It could be live.

01:45:38.000 You could do a live show.

01:45:39.000 A live sketch comedy show.

01:45:40.000 We were talking about that last year.

01:45:41.000 Getting all the top alternative comedians and making one show with it.

01:45:45.000 That's a big budget.

01:45:47.000 Huge budget and huge investment and huge time.

01:45:50.000 Goofy skits that we do.

01:45:51.000 Can you kickstart something like that?

01:45:53.000 Definitely.

01:45:54.000 If it's a project, yeah.

01:45:54.000 You'd have to do a give, send, go, though.

01:45:56.000 But like, goofy skits around here, we have such good cameras and audio that we could pull off.

01:46:00.000 It would look pro.

01:46:01.000 It would look like a big budget thing.

01:46:03.000 Well, we've definitely had plans for doing comedy sketches.

01:46:05.000 For sure.

01:46:06.000 We already do the animations on the Castcastle vlog, if you guys have seen it, where Kent animates these really silly things.

01:46:12.000 The best one is probably when Ian picked up the Alex Jones mushroom that was screaming.

01:46:16.000 And it was just Alex Jones screaming and saying weird things, and then Ian's all excited to find his mushroom.

01:46:21.000 So, uh, that was awesome.

01:46:22.000 But yeah, people love that stuff, and so we definitely... We got a bunch of crazy ideas for good sketches, we're gonna be doing, so... Alright, let's see what we got.

01:46:32.000 Sean Casey says, 41 minutes into this cast, and I see Luke has you all at sword point!

01:46:36.000 Link twice and link once if you need help.

01:46:40.000 Why does Luke have a sword?

01:46:41.000 Why don't I have a sword is the real question.

01:46:44.000 It was sitting here when I got here.

01:46:47.000 I got it from a video game, from a game store at a mall.

01:46:49.000 It's a nice blade.

01:46:50.000 At least it looks nice.

01:46:51.000 Yeah, it says something like the seven demon souls or something.

01:46:55.000 Interesting.

01:46:56.000 Sacred promise or something like that.

01:46:58.000 And then we also have Link's master sword over there on the wall.

01:47:02.000 Well, leaning up against the wall.

01:47:03.000 That's what that was.

01:47:04.000 That's like one of three swords from the samurai set.

01:47:06.000 Is that right?

01:47:07.000 I have no idea.

01:47:08.000 It's like the short, there's a short one, the medium one, the long one.

01:47:10.000 No, that's too long.

01:47:11.000 That's like somebody made a sword and they were like, this is cool.

01:47:15.000 And you know, it's just, you know.

01:47:17.000 You get it at a store that sells anime dolls.

01:47:20.000 Alright, let's see.

01:47:21.000 Wow.

01:47:22.000 Are they getting all the materials from mainland China?

01:47:24.000 I don't know.

01:47:24.000 Great question.

01:47:25.000 Don't demasculate my sword.

01:47:26.000 It's a beautiful weapon.

01:47:27.000 Wow. Are they getting all that's all the materials from mainland China? I don't know. Great question.

01:47:34.000 Don't demasculate my sword. It's a beautiful weapon. It's pretty sharp. All right, let's

01:47:39.000 see.

01:47:40.000 Reith Nelson says, any ideas for me to promote with no social media presence?

01:47:44.000 Anyone else I could hit up?

01:47:45.000 GiveSendGo.com, campaign stand alone.

01:47:48.000 I don't know.

01:47:49.000 I know that we're actually setting up a newsletter.

01:47:52.000 So we're going to have like a weekly newsletter of our stories, and you'll get like a list of like our, we do five shows a week, so we'll have a list of guests, and then we'll have the articles that we think are important.

01:48:00.000 One thing I say, like, at least as a, as a business owner, one thing that I get a ton of is, I mean, it's not social media, but it's email marketing.

01:48:07.000 And like a lot of times I spend half time, I wake up in the morning and I'm going through email.

01:48:10.000 It's like delete, delete, delete.

01:48:11.000 Okay.

01:48:12.000 I don't need this.

01:48:12.000 Don't need it.

01:48:13.000 And then, but every once in a while, we actually got one where we're like, oh, this might actually

01:48:17.000 be helpful to us.

01:48:18.000 Reply.

01:48:19.000 Yeah, we'll have a meeting.

01:48:20.000 We'll do that.

01:48:20.000 That actually might work.

01:48:21.000 But like, I think email marketing, it's not social media.

01:48:23.000 Like, I think it can actually be pretty effective.

01:48:26.000 And the thing is, you got to buy those email addresses, right?

01:48:29.000 And that's where a lot of those come in.

01:48:30.000 When you sell your data, oh, just fill out the form in your email address.

01:48:32.000 Well, guess what?

01:48:33.000 Your email address and your data just got Right.

01:48:35.000 I think that's one.

01:48:36.000 I'd say there's the email marketing.

01:48:38.000 Dogwateractual says, I'm a charter pilot.

01:48:40.000 Most pilots are blue collar, freedom lovers who won't stand for unjust decree on the public and private sides of aviation.

01:48:47.000 My friends in Southwest have a lot to say.

01:48:49.000 Does cast team need a pilot on board?

01:48:51.000 Hit me up.

01:48:51.000 You know what we want to get?

01:48:52.000 I forgot what they're called, but they're like, it's like a hang glider, but then it's also got a fan on the back and you like sit in a basket and just like fly away.

01:48:59.000 Yeah, little paragliders, I think they're called.

01:49:00.000 They're called paragliders.

01:49:01.000 Yeah, that's what it is.

01:49:02.000 Yeah.

01:49:03.000 Not a bad one.

01:49:04.000 It's one thing when you talk about Southwest especially, is we were talking about this, I think we talked about this downstairs with Andreas, is how it seems though, and this is like our anecdotal, unscientific, I don't think there's a survey on it, but I think it's a safe assumption where if you look at Southwest Airlines, started in Texas, right?

01:49:18.000 Where do they fly?

01:49:19.000 Where are all the hubs?

01:49:20.000 Red states. 0.61

01:49:21.000 They have a disproportionate number of prior military pilots compared to the other airlines.

01:49:27.000 I would wager That, and this is again, there's not data, but it's like, it makes sense that the vast majority of higher proportion of Southwest pilots lean right, or at least at the very much, very much are, you know, freedom loving and against this.

01:49:43.000 And that's why I think you see such a higher number of Southwest pilots, right?

01:49:48.000 Who are, you know, anti-vat, you know, not anti-jab, whatever you want to call it.

01:49:51.000 Mandate.

01:49:52.000 Anti-mandate, excuse me.

01:49:53.000 Yeah, that's actually, that is a more appropriate word.

01:49:56.000 And I think that's one of the reasons why you see that, and you see this pushing back, is because I think that Southwest pilots are much more right-leaning.

01:50:05.000 I think that's where you're seeing this right now.

01:50:06.000 I think it's a safe assumption.

01:50:07.000 Why do you think it's cheaper?

01:50:09.000 Well, that's the model.

01:50:10.000 I'd say another point we didn't bring up that's probably worth noting is the fact that there's real risk for pilots.

01:50:15.000 So if there are adverse effects, even if the risk is small, there's a chance they might not be able to fly again.

01:50:21.000 These are guys who just take a physical every six months, and if there is any chance of something happening, they lose their career.

01:50:28.000 You get a blood clot or something like that, and it's like you're never flying ever again, even for fun.

01:50:34.000 That's it.

01:50:35.000 That's a real risk.

01:50:37.000 They don't want to do that, so that's why they're pushing back.

01:50:39.000 Destroyer Lord says, Tim, what are your thoughts on having doctors on your show?

01:50:42.000 I've been following Dr. John Bergman for several years, a chiropractor in Huntington Beach, California.

01:50:47.000 He is well informed and one of the best doctors, in my opinion.

01:50:49.000 My church has also been doing studies on COVID with Dr. Peter McCullough.

01:50:54.000 We've had doctors on the show.

01:50:56.000 We have?

01:50:56.000 Chris Martinson is one.

01:50:57.000 Yeah.

01:50:58.000 He's great.

01:50:58.000 Prosperity.

01:50:59.000 Very knowledgeable.

01:51:00.000 Very knowledgeable.

01:51:01.000 And I'm not familiar with those doctors, but... Stephen Colbert is a doctor.

01:51:04.000 He got his doctorate from a college.

01:51:06.000 They just gave it to him.

01:51:08.000 Honorary.

01:51:08.000 Double check that.

01:51:09.000 He's not that kind of doctor.

01:51:10.000 Oh no, he's not that kind of doctor.

01:51:12.000 Jill Biden.

01:51:13.000 Jill Biden doctor.

01:51:15.000 Social Exile-ity says cyber attack Toyota America.

01:51:19.000 My dad works at one of the Toyota plants and I just heard that they are being held for a 25 million dollar ransom or they will sell employee info.

01:51:27.000 It is being investigated.

01:51:28.000 They believe they're in Australia.

01:51:29.000 Have till end of week to pay.

01:51:30.000 I haven't, I haven't, have you guys heard anything about that?

01:51:32.000 I don't know if that's true.

01:51:33.000 Is that true?

01:51:33.000 I mean, there's probably a lot more ransom attacks than we even know about, especially with the NSA toolkits being released to the general public somehow mysteriously.

01:51:43.000 So it wouldn't surprise me if that news is true, but a lot of it is being not reported because they don't want the Streisand effect on these particular attacks to go out there.

01:51:52.000 And they also don't want, especially if it's a big company, they don't want their shareholders to know that like that happened.

01:51:56.000 That's a huge one as well.

01:51:57.000 A lot of the companies are just paying off the ransoms a lot of the times.

01:52:00.000 We have a friend, a partner, we worked with her former company.

01:52:04.000 Yeah, they got hit by ransomware.

01:52:05.000 And I think it was just like, yeah, everything was locked up.

01:52:07.000 They couldn't do anything.

01:52:08.000 It was a healthcare company, you know, and I think it was like 150 grand.

01:52:12.000 It's almost part of doing business now.

01:52:13.000 There's ransom insurance and companies buy it as a cost of doing business.

01:52:16.000 They've got that.

01:52:17.000 Just like if you're operating in Mexico, you get kidnap insurance.

01:52:21.000 And actually the ransom insurance companies are the ones that negotiate with whoever committed

01:52:25.000 the attack.

01:52:26.000 It's crazy.

01:52:28.000 All right, let's see.

01:52:28.000 Busted Knuckle says, Tim, as a certified septic waste tech, I loved your poo segment.

01:52:33.000 If you want someone who does that, would metalwork livestock care, security, or moving a heavy box, would a resume be a good move?

01:52:39.000 Yes!

01:52:40.000 To jobs at timcast.com with the new Freedama stand that we're setting up.

01:52:45.000 That might be a job we need filled.

01:52:47.000 And we're also, I would like everyone to know that Chicken City is being built and it's nearing completion.

01:52:53.000 It should be done this week.

01:52:53.000 Over there.

01:52:54.000 Yeah, it's a big chicken run and they're building a sewer system.

01:52:59.000 So the dude who's building it has been reading up on chickens.

01:53:02.000 And so the chickens always, they like to sleep roosting on bars, elevated.

01:53:07.000 And so he's creating like a plastic slope that goes beneath it.

01:53:10.000 So when they all take their dumps, it falls into a pipe.

01:53:13.000 That when it rains, the water just washes over it and pushes it all out the back.

01:53:17.000 Nice.

01:53:18.000 Draining it and cleaning it out.

01:53:19.000 Sure.

01:53:20.000 Self-cleaning system.

01:53:21.000 And then we're doing a big gravity feeder so we can just pour the food into the bag, into a pipe that feeds.

01:53:27.000 Yeah, we used to have one of those.

01:53:28.000 Yeah, they work great.

01:53:29.000 It's the same team that built this studio.

01:53:32.000 That's correct.

01:53:32.000 Great job, you guys.

01:53:34.000 Excellent work.

01:53:35.000 Fantastic, fantastic work.

01:53:36.000 Very versatile.

01:53:37.000 We're building a new house right now and I think the primary driver for that is my wife wants chickens. 1.00

01:53:41.000 Yes!

01:53:42.000 Good for her. 1.00

01:53:43.000 They're so dumb. 1.00

01:53:44.000 How many are you going to get? 1.00

01:53:45.000 I don't know, but we've thought of names.

01:53:49.000 Colonel Sanders.

01:53:51.000 Kung Pao. 0.87

01:53:52.000 We have one chicken named Margaret Hatcher. 1.00

01:53:56.000 I like that one.

01:53:58.000 We're having a problem.

01:53:59.000 Of the original cast of Chicken City, Katarina is being beaten by the other chickens. 1.00

01:54:04.000 Yeah, and we were warned that, you know, if it gets worse, we have to remove Katarina, otherwise she'll die. 0.98

01:54:11.000 You guys don't have any, like, cockfighting and stuff out here?

01:54:14.000 They used to have that back in the day way out here.

01:54:18.000 We have, I think, four babies.

01:54:21.000 Okay.

01:54:22.000 So, Roberto had babies, and four of them out of the, I think, what do we have?

01:54:26.000 Eight.

01:54:27.000 dudes Okay, maybe we could send on the chicken. What's her name?

01:54:31.000 That's getting Katerina getting busted up to Daniel Turner He'd mentioned maybe doing a chicken swap. Yeah, but he

01:54:35.000 want to do a rooster swap Oh, no, I think I think once we set up the space we're

01:54:40.000 gonna have a separated area Yeah, so that there's actually like quarantine

01:54:44.000 Oh, yeah because we have three separate flocks now because we had

01:54:47.000 babies at different times and they weren't raised by the parents and

01:54:50.000 There we can't introduce them to each other like They've been introduced, but they fight.

01:54:55.000 Once the first batch are a little bit bigger, the other problem is Roberto's son, Roberto Jr.

01:54:59.000 No, they're not going to get along.

01:55:01.000 You know, Roberto Jr.

01:55:02.000 is going to be like, get out of the way, Dad.

01:55:03.000 Start placing bets?

01:55:04.000 Start placing bets?

01:55:05.000 No, it's illegal.

01:55:06.000 I know, it's very illegal.

01:55:08.000 No, we like them both.

01:55:09.000 Actually, one of the weird things, I didn't even know anything about this, but it came to my head and I thought it was just hilarious and crazy.

01:55:17.000 I spent a lot of time in Southeast Asia.

01:55:18.000 When I was in the Philippines, I'm sure you probably spent some time out there, is what blew me away was they televised cockfighting.

01:55:26.000 It was like a, yeah.

01:55:27.000 And it was like, duh, it was like kind of well produced and they would have like 50 matches in an hour.

01:55:31.000 I mean, it was like, cause they're quick.

01:55:33.000 Right.

01:55:33.000 And they put like blades and spikes on there.

01:55:35.000 Oh yeah.

01:55:35.000 It's serious.

01:55:36.000 Were they finishing off the other roosters?

01:55:37.000 Yeah.

01:55:37.000 Cause I think when it, when he goes, it's like the, you win or you die.

01:55:40.000 Cause a lot of times they'll vote quite often.

01:55:41.000 They're both die.

01:55:42.000 Right.

01:55:42.000 When it goes on and it was so intense.

01:55:43.000 And then what blew me, I'm like, we're watching this and they actually have like, it was almost like, like a mortal combat at the end.

01:55:48.000 It was so weird.

01:55:50.000 And then they play like Bruce Lee.

01:55:53.000 Winner!

01:55:53.000 And I'm watching this with our friends at a hotel in Manila and we're just like, what is going on?

01:55:59.000 And then what made it even crazier is they had commercials during the break selling chicken steroids.

01:56:05.000 Where it's like, this guy, he's like, he's petting my, these are my champion chickens.

01:56:09.000 And he's got my supplements, the Filipino guy, he's got my chicken, all these trophies behind him. 0.99

01:56:13.000 And he's like selling, he's like, buy, you know, you know, Trenbolone for chickens or whatever it is.

01:56:19.000 Like buy, buy, and it was just like, wow, it's like a whole industry to watch.

01:56:22.000 I'm like, this is amazing.

01:56:23.000 And they can't eat them because they're all pumped full of drugs.

01:56:26.000 The Philippines is wild. 0.90

01:56:27.000 It is crazy.

01:56:29.000 It's a different place.

01:56:29.000 It is amazing.

01:56:30.000 Were you in Manila?

01:56:32.000 Yeah, Manila.

01:56:34.000 Manila was wild.

01:56:35.000 Yeah.

01:56:36.000 I mean, it was a great place, but it's like, I can only take it, like, I was like, okay, after a week or so at a time, like, give me the hell out of here.

01:56:40.000 I needed to leave.

01:56:41.000 Yeah.

01:56:42.000 The pollution and just... Traffic.

01:56:44.000 It was bad.

01:56:45.000 We got a super chat from Rita Ho.

01:56:47.000 She says, here are some facts from a Taiwanese, me.

01:56:50.000 Taiwan was colonized by Spain, Holland, and Japan, but no UK.

01:56:53.000 We have no tunnels.

01:56:54.000 More than 80% of people want to remain status quo, not part of China, not claim independence as Taiwan.

01:57:00.000 Very few want to be part of CCP.

01:57:03.000 You have no tunnels that you know of.

01:57:05.000 Well, thanks for the fact check.

01:57:06.000 Yeah, Hong Kong was the UK.

01:57:09.000 Interesting.

01:57:11.000 Jordan VTO8 says, NPR wrote a critique of Chappelle's new stand-up, and they say Dave used white privilege to express transphobic thoughts.

01:57:19.000 So Dave Chappelle is white privilege?

01:57:21.000 Whatever they disagree with, they make race part of the issue. 0.54

01:57:24.000 Yeah, Dave Chappelle is, this may be surprising, but he's a black man.

01:57:28.000 And he made a skit about the black KKK member that is literally turning into reality because of NPR.

01:57:35.000 Yeah, and that's why I think we're part of it.

01:57:37.000 Like, so many people think, oh, you know, the woke folks, they're imploding, they're imploding a cave.

01:57:42.000 And it's like, yes, I think they are.

01:57:44.000 But I think it's good.

01:57:44.000 They're gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.

01:57:47.000 It's gonna get a lot crazier.

01:57:48.000 I think.

01:57:49.000 We got an important one.

01:57:49.000 Yes, sir.

01:57:50.000 Phoenix499 says, spin the UFO.

01:57:53.000 It's spinning.

01:57:54.000 Get ready for this.

01:57:55.000 You got me on camera?

01:57:57.000 Hold on, I gotta...

01:57:59.000 You give Lydia a few seconds to cue that camera up. 1.00

01:58:01.000 It's one camera with multiple angles, so you can't just... There you go.

01:58:04.000 Yeah, okay.

01:58:04.000 Oh, you pressed the wrong one.

01:58:05.000 No, I did push the wrong one.

01:58:06.000 No surprise there.

01:58:07.000 Ooh, you guys can watch.

01:58:09.000 Here we go.

01:58:11.000 Spinning it for you, baby.

01:58:13.000 Where'd you guys get that?

01:58:13.000 I like this new UFO.

01:58:15.000 The UFO?

01:58:15.000 I got an ad for it on Instagram.

01:58:17.000 And it was, like, hovering Bluetooth speaker, and I was like, that's pretty cool.

01:58:19.000 Oh, it's a speaker?

01:58:20.000 Yeah.

01:58:21.000 It's wirelessly charged Bluetooth speaker.

01:58:24.000 Heck yeah.

01:58:25.000 The UFO makes noises.

01:58:26.000 It's gonna look good in the dark, too.

01:58:28.000 I wonder how many of those things we sold by having that on the show and spinning it.

01:58:31.000 A few.

01:58:32.000 I love that thing.

01:58:32.000 Do you gotta get a promo code?

01:58:33.000 No.

01:58:34.000 No?

01:58:35.000 We are not sponsored by the UFO company.

01:58:37.000 Maybe we should be.

01:58:38.000 Maybe we should make our own.

01:58:39.000 Yeah, our own UFO.

01:58:41.000 With chickens on it.

01:58:42.000 Spin the chicken.

01:58:43.000 We also have these little bowls that have a wooden platform they spin.

01:58:48.000 We gotta bring the bowls back, now that we have a wide shot.

01:58:51.000 Yes, we have room for all this stuff, yes!

01:58:54.000 All right.

01:58:55.000 Cory Gawney says, Retired Air Force, left my job with Washington State due to the mandate.

01:58:59.000 Our state employee union did nothing to support us.

01:59:02.000 Running for Olympia City Council, combating the failed woke policies of our current council.

01:59:06.000 Very great to hear, man.

01:59:07.000 Stand up for what you believe in and hope you're victorious.

01:59:12.000 All right, let's see.

01:59:13.000 What is this?

01:59:13.000 Someone said, AOC spying with app for teachers.

01:59:16.000 What is that about?

01:59:17.000 Interesting.

01:59:17.000 Has anyone seen that?

01:59:18.000 I will look it up.

01:59:21.000 Spin that UFO.

01:59:22.000 All right.

01:59:24.000 Cornelius Buttknuckle says, Ian's superpower is his ability to correctly, yet somehow inappropriately, use a word.

01:59:29.000 That's awesome.

01:59:30.000 That's a great superpower.

01:59:32.000 I like that.

01:59:33.000 Vanessa Stuller wants me to stop holding onto the mic. 0.99

01:59:35.000 Never.

01:59:36.000 I am holding it very tightly.

01:59:40.000 Jack Muth says, for those that want to get out of the city, USDA has a home loan program where you can get a 100% financed home loan up to 38 years.

01:59:48.000 You can use these funds to buy or build a house in a rural area.

01:59:50.000 Is that true?

01:59:51.000 Yeah.

01:59:51.000 What?

01:59:52.000 Yeah.

01:59:52.000 Wait, what?

01:59:53.000 I think I should do that.

01:59:54.000 USDA loan for a house in a rural area?

01:59:56.000 I have heard that, yeah.

01:59:58.000 Why isn't, why don't people do that?

01:59:59.000 I want to look that up.

02:00:00.000 We'll get more info.

02:00:01.000 We have a lot of people that we're trying to relocate for work.

02:00:03.000 Yeah.

02:00:03.000 Get it.

02:00:04.000 There you go.

02:00:05.000 Buy a house.

02:00:05.000 You know, I gotta say there's so much stuff out there.

02:00:07.000 It's one thing as far as like opportunity people think the jobs and like, look, I'm not a finance guru.

02:00:11.000 He's sitting next to me.

02:00:12.000 But the thing is, is one thing I do know for sure is like, you know, say what you want about the times, but like the world is flush with cash and there are tons of people.

02:00:18.000 And there are tons of like programs.

02:00:20.000 I'm not big on like big government programs, but like the SBA, aside before PPP, is an amazing program.

02:00:25.000 Some of the stuff you can do and how you can get like, you know, federally guaranteed money and all that.

02:00:29.000 And like, I mean, you're not a big government guy, but there's some really good stuff in like USDA loans, VA loans.

02:00:32.000 If you're ever in the service, you get a VA loan, but if you're not like USDA has great programs.

02:00:37.000 And even then there's like a lot of stuff out there.

02:00:39.000 It's like, you just have to know where to look.

02:00:40.000 Because sometimes it takes a little bit longer, especially with the SBA right now.

02:00:42.000 Yeah, it takes longer.

02:00:43.000 Sure.

02:00:44.000 But it's there.

02:00:44.000 Is it possible you take out a huge loan to buy a house that then the economy crashes, the house becomes worth a tenth of what it was worth, and they won't take that cash anymore to pay it back?

02:00:53.000 And then they seize the house back from you?

02:00:55.000 No, that's the opposite.

02:00:56.000 They want you to pay back the hun- Let's say it's a $100,000 house. 0.98

02:00:59.000 You get a loan for $100,000.

02:01:00.000 Now the house collapses and it's worth, you know, the economy collapses, it's worth $10,000.

02:01:04.000 They just look at you and say, I don't care about a $10,000 house, I want $100,000 back.

02:01:07.000 Yeah, we didn't loan you the house, we loaned you the money.

02:01:08.000 But you think they'll still take cash, or could it get to a point where they're like, we're not taking U.S.

02:01:12.000 dollars anymore?

02:01:13.000 For the federal government, if it's coming from like a federal loan or a federally backed loan, probably it's because they're pretty straight stick about it, you know?

02:01:19.000 But there's other stuff out there, there's tons of stuff out there.

02:01:22.000 Hey, if I may real quick, Tim, I did get a message here from a fellow EOD guy, guy I worked with, deployed, same unit I was at, Jack, and it's interesting, so I'll remove his last name, but hey, Adam.

02:01:32.000 Hey, Adam.

02:01:33.000 Uh, from platoon 501 back in 2011, 2016.

02:01:35.000 Cool seeing you on Timcast today.

02:01:37.000 And it really hit home.

02:01:39.000 I work for a small weapons testing company in Ohio now, and I found out today I'll be fired if I'm not vaccinated by December 8th.

02:01:46.000 Looks like it's time for a career change.

02:01:49.000 Booyah! 0.99

02:01:50.000 Well, hey Adam.

02:01:51.000 Yeah, man.

02:01:51.000 Um, reach out to me again.

02:01:53.000 Let's talk.

02:01:54.000 But yeah, I mean, that's an example.

02:01:55.000 I know so many people and I got my family.

02:01:57.000 There's tons of folks out there where they're like, Hey, I'm just not doing this.

02:02:00.000 And I got to say for the folks who aren't making a ton of money, the folks who don't have assets, you know, like real assets, you know, like that's a, that's a tough thing to do, man.

02:02:09.000 You got kids, something like that, man.

02:02:11.000 It seems like the time to build a new industry.

02:02:14.000 This has been on my mind to build this graphene factory that just sucks carbon out of the air and makes graphene, you know, puts it on copper palladium alloy or something where you can like make 50 different companies with 99 employees each and then hire all these people that are losing their jobs.

02:02:28.000 Find somebody to invest.

02:02:29.000 Get funded.

02:02:30.000 Yeah, because people will invest in that.

02:02:31.000 You need a lot of money for something like that though.
