Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Over 35% Of U.S. Want To Secede, Balkanize The USA w-Actual Justice Warrior

00:00:00.000 Breaking news is coming out of Arizona and Georgia pertaining to what's happening with

00:00:26.000 those audits and we can't talk about it here on YouTube and that's just reality.

00:00:30.000 So I absolutely would love to, but the moment I actually report the news of what's like there— I watched a video of some testimony, and it's testimony.

00:00:39.000 But of course, YouTube would delete the show instantly, so here's what I can say.

00:00:43.000 We will talk about that over at TimCast.com in the members podcast.

00:00:47.000 And we'll probably have some articles up about it tomorrow.

00:00:50.000 The site isn't even fully launched yet.

00:00:52.000 Our soft target is Monday, so hopefully by then we can actually start producing things on the site that we can't produce on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or otherwise.

00:01:00.000 That's kind of why we made the website.

00:01:01.000 They said, hey, go build your own.

00:01:02.000 I said, OK, I will.

00:01:04.000 But there's other news, I guess.

00:01:05.000 You know, pertaining to what's happening with these states and how people feel about it, you've got Joe Biden's constant talk about civil war ad nauseum.

00:01:14.000 Recently, he effectively said that the GOP is the biggest threat to democracy since the Civil War.

00:01:21.000 Now, he was specifically referring to these voting rights bills that the Republicans are trying to pass.

00:01:27.000 And of course the Democrats call them voter suppression bills.

00:01:29.000 The reason why I say he effectively said Republicans are the biggest threat is because you can't separate the GOP from the bills they're trying to pass.

00:01:38.000 If the fight is now between Democrats and Republicans over how the elections should be held and neither agrees and one side says your plan for the election is wrong, When Joe Biden says it's a threat to our country or democracy or things like that, he's not talking about you or me or anybody in this room.

00:01:55.000 He's talking about his group of voters against the other group of voters, and that's where things get really bad, I guess.

00:02:02.000 Because we have a new poll.

00:02:03.000 Maybe it's bunk.

00:02:04.000 Polls aren't always that good.

00:02:06.000 I mean, I'm not a big fan of how these polls work.

00:02:08.000 But it shows that, essentially, 35%, just over 35% of this country, wants their region to break away from the U.S., effectively balkanizing the country into five different regions.

00:02:20.000 Now, the numbers vary.

00:02:21.000 In the West, California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska, it's 39% that want to break away.

00:02:27.000 In the South, it's 44%.

00:02:29.000 In, I think, the heartland, they call it, it's 30%.

00:02:33.000 But when you add them all up, that's a large portion of people who want this country to break apart.

00:02:39.000 And I guess, what do people call it?

00:02:41.000 Peaceful divorce has been the conversation.

00:02:43.000 So, you know, upon seeing data like this, I'm not entirely convinced the culture war will end with one dominant faction.

00:02:48.000 It may very well end with five smaller regional unions.

00:02:53.000 And we'll see how that ends up playing out, if at all.

00:02:57.000 Otherwise, I think there will be some very serious conflict.

00:03:01.000 If Joe Biden is saying things that basically says the Republican, the GOP is a threat to us, and he's willing to use the FBI to go against Trump's base.

00:03:12.000 You see where this is going?

00:03:13.000 You know, it's going to be, get me in power and I will use that power to crush half the country.

00:03:17.000 That's getting crazy.

00:03:17.000 We can't have that.

00:03:18.000 So we're going to get into that and a bunch of other stories.

00:03:21.000 Joining us today is the actual justice warrior because social justice warrior is no good.

00:03:25.000 Is that, is that how it works?

00:03:26.000 Yeah.

00:03:28.000 Well, my background's in criminal justice and I think there's one true justice and that's individual justice.

00:03:33.000 All the other qualifiers are not justice.

00:03:36.000 So actual justice warrior.

00:03:37.000 So what do you do?

00:03:38.000 So I make YouTube videos on the internet.com.

00:03:41.000 Actual Justice Warriors, the channel.

00:03:43.000 And I do a lot of criminal justice related stories.

00:03:45.000 I do a lot of responses to the Young Turks, everybody's favorite progressives.

00:03:50.000 And, um, and I, I like economics.

00:03:52.000 So I'll do some economics videos here and there.

00:03:55.000 We also have news about the consumer price index as well.

00:03:57.000 So we should definitely talk about the food shortages, the price increase, inflation rates.

00:04:01.000 What are they saying now?

00:04:01.000 They're scared.

00:04:02.000 Homebuyers are not going to be able to buy homes because inflation is going up.

00:04:05.000 Yeah.

00:04:06.000 Okay.

00:04:06.000 That's the reason.

00:04:07.000 I mean, sure.

00:04:08.000 It's a reason, but we'll get into that.

00:04:10.000 Yeah.

00:04:10.000 The real reason is the black rock and stone and stone black stone are buying them up.

00:04:15.000 So I got a couple of black rocks myself.

00:04:17.000 I'm slowly falling in love with obsidian.

00:04:19.000 in What's the word?

00:04:39.000 Monoatomic?

00:04:40.000 Well, if you slice it, like, in really, really thin, it's the sharpest substance known to man.

00:04:43.000 They used to use it for eye surgery up until the advent of lasers.

00:04:47.000 Very cool.

00:04:48.000 I watched a video of a guy trying to make an obsidian sword.

00:04:50.000 Not easy to do.

00:04:51.000 He couldn't do it.

00:04:52.000 It's brittle, that's why.

00:04:53.000 So he tried to, like, put iron into it, and it doesn't work.

00:04:55.000 Yeah, it was ceremonial, mostly.

00:04:57.000 Arrowheads and, like, ceremonial. 0.66

00:04:59.000 Oh, yeah.

00:04:59.000 You know, I actually have a deep dive on that whole Blackrock thing, and I think you got it from the Wall Street Journal article, right?

00:05:05.000 There's actually a couple different articles.

00:05:07.000 It's Blackstone and Blackrock.

00:05:08.000 There's two different companies doing two different things.

00:05:09.000 But that's actually probably one of the most misreported stories ever.

00:05:12.000 I did a 30 minute deep dive into it, and it turns out that what they ended up buying, and they may have not even bought it, they might have just facilitated the transaction, was a rental community.

00:05:22.000 Like something that was built up specifically to be a rental community.

00:05:25.000 I think you're mixing up that there's two different companies.

00:05:29.000 You know, there's one called Blackstone and one called BlackRock.

00:05:31.000 Right.

00:05:32.000 And they're both engaging in this.

00:05:33.000 One of the companies bought a rental company and one of them is buying up houses and then trying to put them under rental management.

00:05:40.000 I don't think that's the case because I looked it up in the Wall Street Journal.

00:05:44.000 I'm not the Wall Street Journal.

00:05:45.000 I looked it up in single family homes.

00:05:47.000 It's something like only 1% of them are owned by investment firms.

00:05:51.000 And they didn't buy a rental company, they bought like rental properties that were already rented.

00:05:54.000 Which company are you talking about?

00:05:55.000 I believe this is the one that was in the Wall Street Journal, which was Black Rock.

00:05:58.000 They're both in the Wall Street Journal.

00:06:00.000 This is what confused us, and people in the super chat were like, you're wrong!

00:06:03.000 It's Black Rock, not Stone!

00:06:04.000 And we pulled up both stories, and I'm like, so apparently they used to be one company, they split off a long time ago, they became two companies, and they're engaging in similar but different practices.

00:06:14.000 I'll just say this to the best of my understanding, and I could be wrong because we'll definitely have to fact check.

00:06:19.000 But it was Blackstone was formed in 1985, then BlackRock, one of the founders, I believe, cracked off in 1988 and started BlackRock.

00:06:27.000 And I could be mistaken on which company and all that.

00:06:30.000 I didn't have this readily in front of me, but the single family home purchases, it's a small portion of the market, and it's not a very profitable investment to buy it and turn it into rental property.

00:06:40.000 Do you mean like a small portion of the market right now?

00:06:43.000 Like, right now.

00:06:44.000 Because, do you mean like, of all of the houses that are owned, 1% are owned by investment firms?

00:06:51.000 Yeah, around 1%.

00:06:52.000 That's massive, actually.

00:06:54.000 It's not that unusual.

00:06:55.000 It was more during the end of the financial crisis.

00:06:58.000 And remember, they couldn't manage all these properties.

00:07:01.000 So if you remember like 2013, 2014, they were selling homes for like $30,000 or destroying them because it's like, If you buy up all these individual homes, then you're not, like, there's no way you can assess and maintain them.

00:07:14.000 I don't think we can accurately litigate this right now.

00:07:16.000 Um, because I'm wondering if, is it 1% of all the purchases of the past year?

00:07:21.000 Or is it 1% of the existing market?

00:07:22.000 It's the current, it's as of 2020.

00:07:24.000 So like 2021, there could be a giant surge.

00:07:27.000 It's just, I don't like if, if you lived in a neighborhood, right?

00:07:31.000 And there's 20 houses in the neighborhood.

00:07:33.000 The first 10 go to a company.

00:07:35.000 Like, what are you going to do when they come to offer on your house?

00:07:37.000 Like, you're going to jack up the price because you're going to think there must be oil or there's some reason that they're buying all this up.

00:07:44.000 This is why when investment firms typically buy single family houses, they're already designed to be rentals.

00:07:49.000 And I remember there's like a big misquote in that article where they say they paid, um, 50% above asking price.

00:07:56.000 Like some of the financial YouTubers, like the real nerds about this, they reached out to the developer and he's like, no, no, no.

00:08:01.000 I got 50% gross profit because I built before the supply shortage, before the Fed cut interest rates and, and I sold after all that.

00:08:11.000 So it wasn't actually like, you know, 50% above asking price.

00:08:14.000 And I did a mathematical breakdown of that purchase and it takes something like, 18 years for that to be profitable, assuming like no interest rates and blah, blah, blah, all this other stuff.

00:08:24.000 I think the biggest problem here is that there's two companies and it sounds like you're mixing them up. 0.99

00:08:30.000 But I still have my doubts of like big finances buying all this, because being a landlord is a pain in the ass. 0.97

00:08:36.000 Well, yeah, but you don't have to actually be a landlord. 0.97

00:08:38.000 You just call a rental company and then they do everything for you and it's super easy.

00:08:42.000 So there's actually, the Wall Street Journal talks about Blackstone, and then every other outlet's talking about BlackRock.

00:08:47.000 Because they're both doing similar things, and they're very similar companies, and people rock and stone.

00:08:54.000 But we'll get into that in a minute!

00:08:56.000 Let's actually do this.

00:08:58.000 We've got a sponsor.

00:09:58.000 What else can I say other than this?

00:09:59.000 It doesn't clump.

00:10:01.000 It's really good.

00:10:01.000 Ian puts it in his coffee all the time.

00:10:03.000 It's amazing.

00:10:03.000 You mix it into your coffee and it makes a little cream.

00:10:06.000 Yeah, you see it frothing at the top.

00:10:08.000 It's delicious.

00:10:09.000 Yeah.

00:10:09.000 The easiest way to explain it, I guess, is, well, first of all, go to strongerbonesinlife.com, link in the description below, and check it out.

00:10:16.000 And this is important stuff, you know?

00:10:19.000 We're doing supplements, I guess.

00:10:20.000 I'm so glad you're involved with PioTrust.

00:10:22.000 I'm glad they sponsor the show, too, because there's a lot of sponsors that we have, but I always try to make sure that it's stuff we use, you know?

00:10:30.000 So, like, every day at the show, Ian will be like, can I get some of that for my coffee?

00:10:33.000 And I'll be like, well, I'll just wait till we're, like, doing the show, and I'll just pass it over.

00:10:36.000 Do it live!

00:10:36.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:10:37.000 What do you like about it, Ian?

00:10:38.000 We normally don't do the spot this way, but... I like that it produces a cream that's not dairy.

00:10:45.000 It's not like cream, but it makes a nice... Yeah, it makes it kind of almost like sticky, creamy, like smoothie kind of smooth.

00:10:51.000 Never clumps.

00:10:52.000 And, I mean, besides the actual flavor and stuff, just the fact that collagen is so good for your joints.

00:11:00.000 Right.

00:11:00.000 Your cartilage and stuff.

00:11:02.000 Yeah, and your lips.

00:11:03.000 And if you're a woman, it makes your skin more supple and beautiful.

00:11:05.000 Luscious, just gorgeous lips.

00:11:07.000 I mean, that's my favorite part about it.

00:11:09.000 We normally, I feel like we normally do a lot of the sponsor spots really dry.

00:11:12.000 And I was like, I don't know, man, look, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you the most important thing.

00:11:16.000 I think this stuff's great because I'm physically active.

00:11:18.000 But as Michael Malice pointed out when we did a promo spot when he was on the show last time, these companies that are sponsoring the show are the ones who are making Our communication possible.

00:11:28.000 They're helping make this show exist.

00:11:30.000 They're helping, you know, all the stuff, all the good work you think we're doing.

00:11:32.000 If you like the show, if you like the website, it's because we have sponsors like Biotrust.

00:13:09.000 I appreciate that.

00:13:10.000 We can just do an audio version.

00:13:12.000 Then we got to worry about the camera.

00:13:13.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:13:13.000 That's true.

00:13:15.000 See Tim's face.

00:13:16.000 All right, all right, all right.

00:13:17.000 Let's talk about this story.

00:13:18.000 Check it out.

00:13:19.000 Swanky site.

00:13:20.000 So we got this from TimCast.com.

00:13:22.000 Shock poll.

00:13:23.000 Two in three Southern Republicans want to secede from the United States.

00:13:28.000 And this story is actually based off of a little quote tweet I had when I tweeted at Cenk Uygur.

00:13:34.000 Cenk of the Young Turks says, according to a new YouGov poll, two-third of Southern Republicans want to secede from America.

00:13:40.000 Where have I seen this movie before? 0.59

00:13:42.000 But this time, it's a confederacy of dunces led by King Dunce Trump. 0.93

00:13:46.000 By the way, when you want to betray America, that makes you, by definition, un-American. 0.97

00:13:50.000 Aw, man, Cenk Uygur!

00:13:53.000 Cenk, you got those Southern Republicans.

00:13:55.000 They want to secede from the Union. 1.00

00:13:56.000 How dumb are they? 1.00

00:13:58.000 You know, anybody in any political faction that wants to secede must be really, really dumb. 1.00

00:14:04.000 Oh, hey, let me pull up the poll that shows 47% of Democrats in the West, which includes California, want to secede from the Union too. 0.95

00:14:13.000 Hey, where have I heard this story before?

00:14:15.000 It's like a confederacy of dunces led by who, you, Cenk? 1.00

00:14:19.000 Listen, listen.

00:14:20.000 Okay, two-thirds is a lot.

00:14:22.000 47%, a little bit less than half.

00:14:24.000 But come on.

00:14:25.000 We're talking about, in the West, the largest faction of people that want to secede from the Union, according to the poll, that he cited are Democrats.

00:14:33.000 Last I checked, Cenk Uygur is a Democrat, and is within that faction that has nearly 50% of their base wanting to secede from the Union.

00:14:43.000 So, what's the saying?

00:14:45.000 Living in glass houses and throwing rocks?

00:14:48.000 People in glass houses shouldn't throw hard stuff. 0.92

00:14:51.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:53.000 Oh, man, you gotta love the Young Turks, though.

00:14:54.000 But check this out.

00:14:55.000 So here's the actual data.

00:14:57.000 Well, it is true that the Southern Republicans, 66%, are in favor of seceding from the Union.

00:15:02.000 This effectively is a Balkanization, where you've got the Pacific region, the Mountain region, the Heartland region, the Northeast, and the South. 0.91

00:15:11.000 You can see that in the Mountain region, 43% of Republicans want to secede, 35% of Independents.

00:15:18.000 Now, here's the one that really made me laugh.

00:15:20.000 In the heartland, which is basically the Midwest, 43% of independents, the plurality, want to secede from the Union.

00:15:27.000 So there's something about being in the Midwest where they're like, we don't like Republicans or Democrats.

00:15:34.000 I feel that.

00:15:35.000 I think it might have something to do with the fact that Chicago, Minneapolis, very, very Democrat.

00:15:41.000 So the people there are very unsatisfied with Democrats. 0.99

00:15:43.000 Party politics is crap, in my opinion. 0.99

00:15:46.000 People that get all tribal and they're like, I'm good because I'm part of this group. 1.00

00:15:50.000 Like, come on, man.

00:15:51.000 Give me a message.

00:15:52.000 Give me something.

00:15:53.000 That's actually part of the analysis.

00:15:55.000 When they're going through the data, they said it may be not that they actually want to secede from the U.S.

00:16:01.000 to form new regional unions.

00:16:02.000 And again, this poll is literally asking people, would you want to balkanize the United States?

00:16:07.000 It may be that they're trying to virtue signal.

00:16:09.000 That's what one of the researchers said.

00:16:10.000 Like, these people are asked and they're like, I'm a proud Democrat and I support the, you know, or I'm from the West or whatever.

00:16:17.000 Let me tell you something.

00:16:20.000 There's two different versions of how many people wanted to declare independence in the American Revolution.

00:16:26.000 For some reason, for a while, people thought it was one-third in favor, one-third opposed, and one-third abstained.

00:16:32.000 But that was based on a letter from John Adams where he was actually talking about the French Revolution.

00:16:36.000 At least, that's the modern historical interpretation.

00:16:39.000 So the best data I could find is that it's between 40 and 45 percent of the colonists wanted to declare independence.

00:16:46.000 Wow.

00:16:47.000 15 to 20 were loyalists, and the rest were like, I don't care, leave me alone.

00:16:51.000 We have talked about this in the past, so consider that a correction, because we had bad numbers last time.

00:16:55.000 I said it was like 35.

00:16:56.000 Yeah, I heard 10%.

00:16:57.000 No, no.

00:16:58.000 I've heard crazy numbers.

00:16:59.000 People say only 3% actually fought.

00:17:01.000 I see, maybe that's what it was.

00:17:02.000 But here's the other thing, too.

00:17:04.000 So first, I'll point out, the average right now is 35% of the country, across all party lines and all places.

00:17:12.000 35% would be in favor of balkanizing.

00:17:14.000 I mean, that's massive.

00:17:15.000 And that's up, right?

00:17:16.000 So in the South, the number, I think, in February was 50 percent.

00:17:20.000 Now it's 66.

00:17:22.000 So we are moving very, very quickly.

00:17:25.000 If we get to 40 or 45 of the percent of the American people being like, we're done with this.

00:17:30.000 My problem is it's this poll.

00:17:32.000 Like we were talking about this before the show a little bit.

00:17:33.000 How many people were polled?

00:17:35.000 Was it like a thousand people and 300 of them said?

00:17:37.000 I think it was 2,700 something.

00:17:39.000 So you've got like 600 people that said we want to secede.

00:17:42.000 And they're like 30 percent of the country.

00:17:43.000 And it's like, no, that was 600 people.

00:17:45.000 But 2,000 is enough to get a representative sample.

00:17:48.000 Yeah.

00:17:49.000 Well, that's more than enough.

00:17:50.000 You can get a representative sample with 1,000.

00:17:52.000 I think what it is, is what you said about virtue signaling or people who are partisan.

00:17:57.000 Like, if you didn't like Biden, you're like, I want to leave the country.

00:17:59.000 But does that mean you actually want us to cede?

00:18:02.000 Or does that mean you actually want local autonomy?

00:18:04.000 Because those are two different things.

00:18:06.000 And for the Midwest point, the reason why they're always torn or swing voters is they're the Reagan Democrats.

00:18:11.000 They're the people who align with union politics, who are against free trade.

00:18:14.000 But on social issues, they align more with the Republican Party.

00:18:17.000 This is why, you know, Reagan won, you know, I think in the second election, every state but Minnesota.

00:18:22.000 And you could correct me if I'm wrong.

00:18:24.000 And eventually, like, Those became the swing states because Reagan was converting those voters who didn't like the excesses from the Democratic Party in the social movement, but were mostly working class union voters.

00:18:37.000 And that's who we're fighting over now.

00:18:38.000 It's the same set of voters that Reagan flipped then.

00:18:42.000 So that's why I think the independents are like, I want to get out of here because neither party is really serving them, in their opinion.

00:18:48.000 You were correct, it was Minnesota.

00:18:51.000 as well, but obviously it's not a state, but it was just Minnesota.

00:18:51.000 D.C.

00:18:55.000 Yeah, I think people are serious about balkanization.

00:18:59.000 We saw there was that war game that the DNC did.

00:19:03.000 It was heavily reported on before the election where Boston Globe reported John Podesta.

00:19:08.000 What's his position?

00:19:09.000 He was like the chair of the DNC or some high-ranking position.

00:19:11.000 Yeah.

00:19:12.000 Cal Exit, if you remember that.

00:19:14.000 He said if Trump wins, the Western states should secede from the Union.

00:19:17.000 Cal Exit, if you remember that.

00:19:19.000 But not just California, also Oregon and Washington.

00:19:22.000 And so when you see that 47% of Democrats there, according to a representative sample,

00:19:27.000 which as you said is more than enough, 2,750, that's a lot of people.

00:19:33.000 That sounds like virtue signaling that Podesta would say that people should secede.

00:19:37.000 It was private.

00:19:38.000 He didn't publicly say it.

00:19:40.000 It was in a private DNC war game that some people who are witness to it talked to some journalists.

00:19:47.000 So Podesta didn't come out and say, hey guys, go do this privately.

00:19:49.000 He was like, I think this is what needs to happen.

00:19:51.000 And then someone went to the journalist and we're like, yo, this is what he's saying.

00:19:54.000 Not that I can trust any of these journalists to my dear.

00:19:56.000 For all I know, John Podesta didn't say anything.

00:19:58.000 But like, what do you do when they lie?

00:20:01.000 I've had journalists manufacture quotes from me.

00:20:03.000 Yeah, one guy from, I think it's the New Yorker, where he took two different quotes and put them together to make a different sentence.

00:20:09.000 Amazing.

00:20:10.000 Or like half a quote.

00:20:11.000 Usually if you widen it out 10 words in either direction or 30 seconds in a clip, and it changes completely what they say, then maybe you shouldn't be running with that in the media.

00:20:21.000 There's a clever way to get around giving quotes to journalists when you know they're gonna try and pull some BS, and it's to add, like, breaks that are seemingly non sequitur in your sentence.

00:20:34.000 So, like, if someone were to say, what's your favorite color?

00:20:39.000 I would say my Tim Pool favorite color, because I grew up in the south side of Chicago, is actually, and this is because of my birthday, green.

00:20:45.000 And then what they'll have to do is they'll put my dot, dot, dot, favorite color, dot, dot, dot.

00:20:49.000 And it, it makes it impossible.

00:20:51.000 So if you're, if you're trying to make sure they can't pull things out of context, you can add things to it that forces them to put in by doing that.

00:20:57.000 Otherwise they can try and break the sentence up and it looks really weird in print when what they usually do then is just do a paraphrase.

00:21:03.000 We'll be like, he expressed to me, his favorite color was green or something.

00:21:06.000 I mean, if you set it in audio, they might put your face, if there's video, over the audio and just cut it together the way that they want it.

00:21:13.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:14.000 That's why I don't talk on the phone.

00:21:16.000 You know, there's phones for certain things.

00:21:18.000 But anyway, back to the balkanization.

00:21:21.000 By the way, Cenk's not going to lead anything.

00:21:23.000 Five percent in his congressional run.

00:21:25.000 Let us never forget.

00:21:26.000 He was going to show us how progressives could win in purple districts, by the way.

00:21:30.000 But I just love how this shows that Cenk didn't actually go to the website.

00:21:35.000 Like, I pulled up the article from Bright Line Watch to read the data so I could do a segment about this, and I did it earlier on my TimCast channel, because I'm like, what does it mean that Republicans want to secede?

00:21:47.000 The South wants to secede?

00:21:48.000 And I pulled up, like, oh, it's actually...

00:21:51.000 Missing the bigger picture, I guess.

00:21:53.000 If you actually add all these up and average it out, it's a decent amount of people.

00:21:56.000 So 35% might actually be relative.

00:21:58.000 It might be incorrect because I'm adding up the totals and then dividing it by the regions.

00:22:02.000 And it doesn't necessarily represent how many people in each region actually want us to see.

00:22:05.000 So the Heartland, I mean, I think we need to go by population density.

00:22:10.000 So I'm sure the Heartland doesn't have as many people as the South.

00:22:13.000 The South probably has substantially more people between Florida, Texas, Atlanta.

00:22:17.000 And then you look at the Pacific, which is Alaska, California, Oregon, and Washington, probably a lot less people.

00:22:24.000 So the percentages probably don't add up properly the way I'm describing it.

00:22:27.000 In fact, it could be substantially more if we actually go by population density and did better math.

00:22:33.000 I would tend to think that it would be less.

00:22:33.000 Right.

00:22:35.000 At least the serious ones are definitely less.

00:22:37.000 I would like to see, like, you ever seen, like, Sam Harris break down the spheres of influence of radicalization?

00:22:43.000 Like, that version of this, where it's like, these people want to leave, but do they really just want local autonomy?

00:22:48.000 What is, what is, what's the difference?

00:22:49.000 I don't understand what you mean.

00:22:50.000 Well, it's like, uh, the state's rights movements under, under Obama.

00:22:53.000 Like they would say that Texas should secede and break, you know, be its own state or break up into five states as it says in their constitution.

00:23:00.000 But in reality, they just wanted like the governor to invoke more 10th amendment stuff against Obama and challenge what he was doing, which is similar to what happened in California.

00:23:08.000 So how do you know that's actually what they wanted though?

00:23:10.000 Well, because I don't think when push comes to shove, these people would actually vote in like a secessionist party in their state.

00:23:17.000 I think they would.

00:23:19.000 I think you often see that regular people vote for the extreme version of these things because of, like, especially right now as the rhetoric is ramping up.

00:23:28.000 I mean, do they, though?

00:23:29.000 Because they voted in Biden in the primary and, like, he was distinctly not extreme.

00:23:35.000 Like, in the primary, at least, compared to who he's talking to.

00:23:37.000 Bernie, who... But what did the people say they wanted?

00:23:41.000 Well, in polls, they would say that, like, in the top line polls, this is why I don't trust polling, they would say that they would want Bernie Sanders's positions in the top line polls.

00:23:49.000 But when you go into the details, you realize that they think Medicare for all is Obamacare with the public option, which is actually Biden's position.

00:23:57.000 Right.

00:23:57.000 Which is why when the progressives were like, we want on every issue.

00:24:00.000 So they voted for what they wanted.

00:24:01.000 Yeah.

00:24:02.000 So if an individual says they want to secede, they'd probably vote for it.

00:24:02.000 Right.

00:24:06.000 No, no, but that's the top line.

00:24:07.000 Like that, that would be your, I want Medicare for all.

00:24:10.000 But then when you ask them, what, what do you think this actually means?

00:24:13.000 Like, and you break it down, like you're going to get a way, you're going to get people who just want states rights or autonomy, or maybe like an American federation where they break up.

00:24:22.000 Some people want that, but not Right, they don't know what they want.

00:24:27.000 What is a secession?

00:24:28.000 You attempt by military force. 0.98

00:24:31.000 The American federal government will come fight you and kill people and burn cities to stop that state from seceding. 0.87

00:24:38.000 I don't think they want that.

00:24:40.000 It's like if you ever got into a fight with a girlfriend and she's like, I want to break up with you.

00:24:44.000 And then you're like, okay, okay, let's talk about this. 1.00

00:24:47.000 And then you talk about it and you realize she just wants you to stop being a jerk. 0.99

00:24:50.000 Like, you know, it comes down from that top line aggressive thing. 1.00

00:24:54.000 It is.

00:24:55.000 Because if they start saying that, then you're like, I, you know, I'm going to start taking you at your word.

00:24:58.000 You got to take them at their word.

00:25:00.000 I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't play games like that.

00:25:00.000 Yeah.

00:25:02.000 If someone came up to me and they were like, you know, someone came up to me and said, I'm going to quit because I'm unhappy.

00:25:09.000 What would secession look like, then, if we could lay it out for people clearly?

00:25:17.000 Civil War won't work in this regard. 0.58

00:25:18.000 We're talking about five-region balkanization, right?

00:25:22.000 So I will say, first and foremost, Joe Biden keeps talking about this being the greatest threat since the Civil War and blah blah blah.

00:25:28.000 He's using the power of the federal government to go after Trump supporters and people they deem to be extreme.

00:25:32.000 They're potentially, I guess it's now public, they're compiling lists of these people.

00:25:37.000 They're going to be tracking it.

00:25:38.000 Jack Posobiec reported it and now there's some statements about it.

00:25:41.000 So what would it look like?

00:25:43.000 Well, there is a lot of power in the federal government, but that power is derived from the states.

00:25:50.000 And I don't mean that figuratively, like the states chose to create the federal government.

00:25:53.000 No, like the people who are in the federal government are sent there, are voted in.

00:25:57.000 The Capitol Police, the National Guard, the power the federal government has all across the country from people who serve in the military and the armed forces come from states.

00:26:07.000 So what would happen if somebody lives in, say, Oregon, and they're as far left as they come, and they work in some kind of law enforcement capacity, and then someone in the federal government says something, we want to do X, we need your assistance, but if the country is balkanizing, they might say, no, I care more about my state than I care about going to D.C.

00:26:29.000 to do whatever you want.

00:26:30.000 Or if balkanization is happening, And then someone in Oregon is told, like, we're going to be deploying you to Texas.

00:26:36.000 They're going to be like, I got to stay and defend Oregon.

00:26:37.000 Yeah.

00:26:38.000 So it's that is a question of if we balkanize.

00:26:42.000 But here's what I think is possible.

00:26:44.000 If this sentiment is this widespread, 47% in the West, makes sense to me, 33% of Independents, and 66% of Republicans and 50% of Independents in the South, that's crazy?

00:26:56.000 And these are very heavily Republican states.

00:27:00.000 What I think actually could happen is loss of confidence.

00:27:04.000 In which case, this is what I talked about several times as to how I think a civil war could actually happen.

00:27:09.000 Not that a bunch of states get together and say, we hereby declare good sir, and start caning someone in Congress.

00:27:15.000 But actually what happens is a small town in Oklahoma puts up a roadblock and says, not welcome.

00:27:21.000 And then start saying, we're not going to abide by these lockdowns or whatever Joe Biden is saying.

00:27:25.000 And then the feds have to come in and the people in Oklahoma say, we're not letting you in our town.

00:27:30.000 You have no purchase here, good sir.

00:27:33.000 Look at what happens in like Ohio where they, I think they arrested an ATF agent.

00:27:37.000 Right.

00:27:38.000 Those are exactly the kinds of things that start happening.

00:27:41.000 Now you have second amendment sanctuaries popping up. 0.67

00:27:43.000 And I think two thirds of the counties of the United States.

00:27:45.000 That is a break of confidence at a growing scale.

00:27:49.000 So Biden's freaking out.

00:27:50.000 It's the greatest threat, what the Republicans are doing, ah!

00:27:53.000 Because he probably sees the federal government's power is actually starting to dwindle.

00:27:58.000 Ohio recently, some sheriff said, we're no longer gonna be taking illegal immigrants from ICE.

00:28:02.000 Why?

00:28:02.000 Because they send them here, they tell us to hold them and let them go into our towns.

00:28:05.000 No dice, not gonna happen.

00:28:07.000 The plans they had, not working.

00:28:09.000 So check this out.

00:28:10.000 I'll tell you why I think Joe Biden's panicking, and I'll tell you why I think we are inching closer towards this.

00:28:15.000 The Democratic base in this country is absolutely insane.

00:28:18.000 Not like the Republicans as a party are doing much better, but the Democrats are split dramatically.

00:28:25.000 From like, moderate, default Democrats who don't really pay attention, to the fringe far left.

00:28:31.000 The far left control more of the manifesto for the Democrats than the moderates do, who don't really pay attention.

00:28:36.000 You can see this in the Pew research, where the spike is actually further left.

00:28:39.000 What does that mean?

00:28:40.000 They tell Joe Biden, we want open borders.

00:28:42.000 We want total amnesty.

00:28:44.000 But Joe Biden can't win on those positions.

00:28:46.000 So what happens?

00:28:48.000 In office, he says something like, okay, we're gonna stop Trump's evil remain in Mexico policy.

00:28:55.000 So now all the migrants come in, it's catch and release. 1.00

00:28:57.000 They get caught, they get released in the community.

00:28:59.000 Now you have children sleeping under bridges in the dirt in McAllen, Texas, because Joe Biden needs to take actions the far left wants, but then can't actually deal with the influx of migrants and migrant children because the policy is insane and makes no sense.

00:29:12.000 So what does he do?

00:29:13.000 The Biden administration has been smuggling, has been trafficking children into other Republican states under the noses of the leadership of those states.

00:29:23.000 Tennessee Republicans freaked out when the whistleblower came out with this video footage showing that they were using, I guess now there's a whistleblower talking to Tucker Carlson saying they're using the Texas Air Force bases to take migrant kids and traffic them to other states because Biden can't come out and say, we're turning the children away into the desert.

00:29:39.000 Because that was Trump's policy.

00:29:40.000 Oh no, he can't come out and say, we're going to put these kids in the concentration camps the Democrats were complaining about for five years, although they're doing that anyway. 0.61

00:29:47.000 So he's got to shuffle it under the rug.

00:29:49.000 But eventually the Republicans in these red states find out about it.

00:29:53.000 The sheriff in Ohio finds out what they're doing, and these states are now Outraged the federal government is not actually doing anything to serve the people, but is actively in a panic to shuffle the problem under the rug while actively refusing to solve the problem.

00:30:08.000 In fact, making the problem worse.

00:30:10.000 You imagine Biden keeps doing things like that, and you're going to see states saying, we will not comply.

00:30:16.000 Okay, so that's like a good, that's a lead up to it.

00:30:18.000 But okay, assuming that something happens, and then a state does secede, like let's pick Texas.

00:30:23.000 And I don't know, would it be organized?

00:30:25.000 Would it be six states at once?

00:30:26.000 Would it be one state that goes first?

00:30:28.000 That has a lot to do with if it would succeed or not.

00:30:30.000 Because if 49 states seceded, it would succeed. 0.67

00:30:34.000 If one state tried, it would probably fail.

00:30:36.000 But what would it look like if states said, we hereby declare we are a sovereign country?

00:30:41.000 Ian, you're too left brain on this one.

00:30:43.000 It doesn't need to be a bunch of guys in suits walking in and saying, I hereby declare.

00:30:47.000 It could literally just be that a guy in Texas stops taking the phone calls of the federal government because he doesn't care anymore.

00:30:53.000 Because the influence of the federal government has been weakening.

00:30:56.000 So a law enforcement officer looks at his phone and it says, I don't even care.

00:30:59.000 What were you saying, sir?

00:31:00.000 And then over time, it just breaks apart.

00:31:03.000 They'll take over a long period of time.

00:31:05.000 That would be something like the governor sending their own National Guard to the border in place of the federal government, as an example.

00:31:11.000 But we've seen this before under the Obama administration.

00:31:14.000 Sheriffs were refusing this.

00:31:15.000 And I think the one thing that would actually lead to a potential civil war is something like hyperinflation or extended inflation

00:31:22.000 because once the money starts becoming less valuable, that's when you get people in the streets

00:31:26.000 and everybody starts panicking.

00:31:27.000 But to your point about the immigration thing, this is one of the biggest mistakes the Trump

00:31:31.000 administration made throughout its entire time. The reason they were putting the kids in cages,

00:31:36.000 quote unquote, was because they wanted to deter children from showing up to the border.

00:31:42.000 And the Trump administration, as far as I know, never made the moral case for harsh policy on the border.

00:31:48.000 And we see what happens when you're soft on that.

00:31:50.000 There's kids that are being dumped over here. 0.80

00:31:52.000 Like I was at CPAC.

00:31:53.000 I met guys that went to the border and they showed me photos of kids with disabilities that were just literally dumped over the fence by coyotes.

00:32:01.000 Like they can't walk and they're being dropped off because Obama sent, I'm sorry, Biden, 40 and slip right there.

00:32:08.000 I mean, Obama did the same thing, if you remember the unaccompanied minors things pre-Trump.

00:32:14.000 But Biden sent the signal that if your kids come here, at least this is how it was translated into Latin America, that if your kids come here, we'll take them.

00:32:21.000 Which is worse than saying, if your families come here, we'll take them, because now we have all these kids going on this dangerous journey, 7,000 miles.

00:32:28.000 If you've seen it, they come up on these trains, a bunch of them fall off.

00:32:31.000 It's a disaster.

00:32:32.000 You have to make the moral case for strict enforcement, and we're seeing this across the country in not just immigration policy, but in San Francisco, where they don't enforce shoplifting.

00:32:41.000 Everything breaks down.

00:32:42.000 So what's happening now?

00:32:43.000 Florida is sending troopers to Texas to help secure their border, and South Dakota is sending, I think, National Guard.

00:32:49.000 Because the federal government isn't doing it.

00:32:51.000 Lieutenant Colonel Allen West is running to primary Greg Abbott because he says Abbott is waiting on permission from the federal government to defend its own border.

00:32:59.000 And he makes a really good point.

00:33:00.000 Abbott needs to take a stand.

00:33:02.000 Oh, that was brutal.

00:33:05.000 Metaphorically.

00:33:06.000 Yeah.

00:33:06.000 Also, DeSantis is running for president.

00:33:08.000 That's why he's sending the troopers.

00:33:09.000 Like let's, let's be honest.

00:33:10.000 You think so?

00:33:11.000 A hundred percent.

00:33:12.000 Oh, okay.

00:33:13.000 Against Trump though?

00:33:15.000 I saw the CPAC poll.

00:33:16.000 They did one with Trump and one without Trump.

00:33:18.000 Without Trump, 58%.

00:33:20.000 So he's probably trying to say, Hey buddy, endorse me.

00:33:23.000 And I think DeSantis would, in a lot of ways, probably be better.

00:33:26.000 Way better.

00:33:27.000 Because, and people are like, you know, oh, they'll smear him, they'll attack him in the media.

00:33:32.000 Yeah, but Trump really boils liberal blood.

00:33:35.000 You know, DeSantis, they're gonna be like, I don't know who that is and I don't care.

00:33:37.000 You're not gonna be able to rally people the same way.

00:33:39.000 Well, DeSantis isn't gonna wake up, shoot himself in both feet and wonder why there's blood all over the floor every day. 0.99

00:33:45.000 He's not gonna be tweeting, these disgusting horse faces yelling at me on the internet. 1.00

00:33:50.000 Nah, he's, you know, he's a bit more tactful. 0.96

00:33:52.000 But, I will say, we've definitely seen some of this under Obama.

00:33:56.000 There was a period, I can't remember when this was, I think it may have been under Bush, actually, where, yeah, actually, I don't know, maybe it was Obama.

00:34:03.000 We saw a wave of states asserting sovereignty.

00:34:06.000 They were, like, declaring, like, we are independent, sovereign, and retain our rights, and everything, and it was, like, they all started doing it.

00:34:12.000 10th amendment movement, right?

00:34:14.000 But I I think that just shows the escalation Like if you a lot of people say this all started with Trump and then people so it actually it started with Obama Actually, it started with Bush.

00:34:24.000 Well, yeah, literally they're all connected.

00:34:26.000 There's no like we're not in a vacuum It wasn't like one day someone pressed like reset on the country and then we all woke up and said who should be the president It's all connected going all the way back since even probably the colonial days Yeah, I think it tracks technology's change because no longer do we have to send a letter and send someone to go ride a horse to Washington, D.C.

00:34:47.000 to tell them what I told them to tell them.

00:34:48.000 Like, we have telephones and computers and we can work in a decentralized manner.

00:34:53.000 The states can function in a more, we can decentralize power way easier with modern technology.

00:34:58.000 And I think the consciousness is now kind of showing that, but it's coming out as, you know, secession when it's more of a decentralization.

00:35:06.000 I'll tell you what the problem is.

00:35:06.000 It's the absolutism of the Democratic Party and the inability of conservatives, or I should say of the Republicans, and many conservatives, to assert themselves on things.

00:35:16.000 So I'll explain what that means.

00:35:17.000 The Democrats demand absolute law.

00:35:20.000 So they say, we should ban these guns.

00:35:22.000 And then you're like, dude, I live in West Virginia.

00:35:24.000 We've got like coyotes and bears and stuff.

00:35:26.000 Like, come on, you can't, you know, I mean, and also I hunt.

00:35:29.000 I live in the middle of nowhere.

00:35:30.000 I'm not, you're not worried about this stuff.

00:35:32.000 You live in a different place.

00:35:34.000 It makes no sense.

00:35:35.000 A lot of the things that Democrats advocate for because how it affects the other half of the country who don't live in cities.

00:35:41.000 But they demand that absolute law.

00:35:44.000 If the city is negatively impacted, everyone in the country must be under the same law.

00:35:48.000 Republicans don't come out and say, we demand X. They say, no, wait, don't.

00:35:54.000 Speed bumps for the Democrats.

00:35:56.000 Over a long enough period of time, the Democrats keep passing laws that are favorable for cities, well, probably not even favorable for cities, but designed to be favorable, or I'm sorry, they're designed to appear favorable to cities, although whether or not they actually work, I think most of the time they don't, And then rural people get negatively impacted by it.

00:36:13.000 But what percentage of the Democrats is it?

00:36:16.000 Because I just had the New York City Democratic primary and they elected the cop who wants to bring back Stop and Frisk and the anti-crime unit, which is horribly named because the police are all anti-crime.

00:36:28.000 It should be called the anti-shooting unit.

00:36:30.000 But they elected the tough on crime cop and he won in the first round of voting and when they did the rank choice and they do that he finally got over the top.

00:36:38.000 Maya Wiley, the Bill de Blasio woman who literally her campaign was like I'm a black woman vote for me. 1.00

00:36:44.000 I'm progressive.

00:36:45.000 Never did anything in her life except serve as a counselor for Bill de Blasio.

00:36:48.000 Like she, she did worse when they ranked it up.

00:36:52.000 Like she was the second place, which is horrible and I'm ashamed of my city, but

00:36:56.000 it's the Democrats.

00:36:57.000 What are you going to do?

00:36:57.000 But Adams not only won, but he won.

00:37:00.000 Uh, with minorities, like he got 45 to 75% of the vote in all of the majority,

00:37:05.000 uh, black or Hispanic areas.

00:37:07.000 That's how he won.

00:37:07.000 But think about how amazing it is that he still is.

00:37:10.000 He still wants to confiscate guns.

00:37:11.000 He's still very much, you know, except for him, he can have a gun.

00:37:14.000 Right, exactly.

00:37:15.000 So he very much is just.

00:37:18.000 He's still a Democrat.

00:37:19.000 And so we're like, but he is pro-cop.

00:37:21.000 Like, think about that logic where it's like, well, at least he doesn't want to completely abolish the police.

00:37:26.000 He's still, he's still bad on a lot of these things.

00:37:28.000 True.

00:37:29.000 But like Giuliani was a gun grabber as mayor of New York City.

00:37:31.000 Michael Bloomberg was a gun grabber and an anti-stater.

00:37:34.000 Like he didn't want you to have a big soda.

00:37:36.000 Yeah, right.

00:37:37.000 But I always say New York is different, so as much as I want to say, oh, the Democrats are different, the reason New York City is different, and you've been to New York City, is because everybody rides the subway and everybody walks on the streets.

00:37:46.000 So Democrats actually have to live with the policies that they advocate for there.

00:37:50.000 They can't escape out into the burbs.

00:37:52.000 That's why we get tough on crime mayors, and that's why I had faith in New York City, and I said that this election would determine whether or not I would consider moving or not.

00:38:00.000 Because we actually do vote tough on crime.

00:38:03.000 It's not Chicago.

00:38:05.000 It's not Baltimore, which I drove through today.

00:38:06.000 And then what happens is because they're actually not tough on crime, the extremists then protest the Democrats' own policies.

00:38:15.000 They go around and they constantly obstruct the streets.

00:38:18.000 They protest.

00:38:19.000 New York's not a big riot place, but it never ends.

00:38:22.000 And then that turns into a national movement.

00:38:25.000 So because people like, you know, Eric Adams, right?

00:38:29.000 Yeah.

00:38:30.000 Because he's like, they call him tough on crime by New York standards.

00:38:35.000 No, no, he's legit.

00:38:36.000 He's like, I'm going to bring back stop and frisk.

00:38:39.000 Like, the Republicans weren't like, we're gonna bring back Salman for us. 1.00

00:38:41.000 He's like, no, no, we're gonna shake down people and crack some skulls.

00:38:44.000 That's the problem, you see.

00:38:45.000 What happens is then, Black Lives Matter comes out and turns that local problem from Democrats into a national problem, and then demands everyone in the country live by this ideology. 0.75

00:38:56.000 And because they have such influence in national-level communications, politics, marketing, and corporations, because New York is a hub for that, Some random dude in West Virginia who lives in the mountains next to his brother Cletus, who's actually 20 miles away, has to have new laws on his guns because of the failures of New York Democrats.

00:39:15.000 And it's not like it's Eric Adams' fault.

00:39:18.000 It's that the people who live in these cities continually elect the same kind of people who do very similar things with very similar policies that don't work.

00:39:26.000 Well, I mean, you're right to a certain extent because, I mean, New York City distinctly banned chokeholds.

00:39:32.000 But after George Floyd died from a maneuver that would have been illegal for an NYPD officer, we still cut a billion dollars out of our police because we had to solve the problem of Minneapolis' policing issue.

00:39:42.000 People in London are protesting over George Floyd.

00:39:45.000 Hands up, don't shoot, which Michael Brown didn't have his hands up, and the London police don't carry guns.

00:39:50.000 Never, never heard.

00:39:50.000 Yep.

00:39:51.000 Yeah.

00:39:51.000 So, so what's happening is you have this, you know, Ian mentioned it's technology.

00:39:55.000 It's the internet's communications.

00:39:57.000 It's not about any of the policy.

00:39:59.000 It is literally my tribe must win at all costs and we will demand power.

00:40:04.000 And, and I'll tell you, I want to talk about the story where it gets really, really weird.

00:40:08.000 This, this story right here is a sign to me of the, uh, of the collapse.

00:40:08.000 This is a sign.

00:40:13.000 It's a very slow collapse.

00:40:14.000 The first thing I'll say, I'll give you the, I'll give you the story.

00:40:17.000 Boston pride.

00:40:19.000 LGBT Pride.

00:40:20.000 Dissolves amid diversity complaints.

00:40:23.000 An organization that's been around for 50 years to advocate for LGBT rights has dissolved because Black Lives Matter activists said that they didn't have enough diversity on their board.

00:40:33.000 Now, I want to mention something.

00:40:34.000 I say it's a slow collapse, right?

00:40:36.000 We went to a diner today to pick up some Petty Melts.

00:40:38.000 We got everybody these burgers are so good.

00:40:40.000 Oh, they were good.

00:40:40.000 They were delicious.

00:40:42.000 And a peanut butter pie.

00:40:43.000 And there's a sign on the door.

00:40:45.000 And this shocked me.

00:40:46.000 It said something like, Forgive us.

00:40:49.000 From now on, we'll be operating only 6am to 5pm as we attempt to rectify our staffing shortages.

00:40:55.000 Half the diner was closed.

00:40:57.000 Like, they had the signs up like, You can't sit here.

00:40:59.000 And they were completely understaffed.

00:41:01.000 And a diner that closes at 5pm.

00:41:04.000 Nothing to do with Pride or whatever, but it's just like...

00:41:07.000 The food shortages.

00:41:08.000 The chaos.

00:41:09.000 Unemployment.

00:41:10.000 Yeah, the unemployment stuff.

00:41:11.000 It's just getting worse and worse and worse.

00:41:13.000 I just want to mention that's part of the slow collapse.

00:41:13.000 We'll come back to that.

00:41:15.000 But look at this story.

00:41:16.000 They say this decision was made with a heavy heart.

00:41:18.000 Out of love and hope for a better future, the organization's board sent a statement.

00:41:22.000 Boston Pride, the organization that has organized the city's Pride celebrations for 50 years, has announced it's shutting down.

00:41:29.000 The dissolution announced Friday afternoon, and a statement on the group's website comes after the reportedly all-white board of directors had faced ongoing accusations of ignoring racial minorities and transgender people.

00:41:40.000 It is clear to us that our community needs and wants change without the involvement of Boston Pride.

00:41:46.000 I don't know what that means.

00:41:46.000 Here's the quote.

00:41:48.000 heard the concerns of the QTBIPOC community and others.

00:41:57.000 The statement continued.

00:42:07.000 Oh, Cute BIPOC, is that what it's supposed to be?

00:42:09.000 I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, look.

00:42:11.000 These people are increasingly... There was a video I saw of this, like, young woman, and she was, it's a viral TikTok, where she's like, you can use new words for your non-binary parents, like Zizo and Zorbda.

00:42:25.000 I'm not kidding.

00:42:26.000 She was like, Pom Pom, Pina, Dofi. 0.97

00:42:29.000 And I'm like, you're just saying gibberish words.

00:42:32.000 What are you doing?

00:42:33.000 That's where we're at right now.

00:42:34.000 These young people are like, I can make up a thing, and so they make up a thing. 0.65

00:42:39.000 And then the people who make up a thing go to the established thing and say, you have to shut down because we made a thing up, and they go, okay, and then it shuts down.

00:42:47.000 How do we function as a society?

00:42:49.000 Look, I'm sure there's a bunch of conservatives, you know, cracking cigars and laughing, you know, watching this, but I'm like, Boston Pride, 50 years of fighting for LGBT rights, and quite successfully, and now they're shut down just like that?

00:43:03.000 It's like Occupy Wall Street.

00:43:04.000 That was my experience at Occupy.

00:43:06.000 I went and I brought the Constitution.

00:43:07.000 I was like, yo, I'm gonna tell people about the Federal Reserve.

00:43:09.000 I'm gonna rally the troops.

00:43:11.000 And when I went up, the girl was like, I was gonna go speak to some news organization.

00:43:16.000 And the girl was like, no, we've already had too many white people speak to the news. 0.98

00:43:19.000 I was like, what?

00:43:20.000 I'm about to blow people's minds, dude.

00:43:22.000 Let me at it.

00:43:23.000 And they wouldn't.

00:43:24.000 So I was like, well, too much too much racism for good stuff at the top.

00:43:28.000 You know, it's just it just demands for power, man.

00:43:31.000 And the Fed long lived the Ron Paul revolution.

00:43:34.000 That's what we're up to, man.

00:43:36.000 Repeal the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. 0.92

00:43:40.000 The polarization among the left is ridiculous. 0.70

00:43:42.000 Their desire to fraction off into little pieces is crazy. 0.85

00:43:46.000 Especially because I always thought, and I could be wrong about this, but I'm going to pretend like it's authoritative.

00:43:51.000 The rainbow flag was like, all colors can be within the LGBT community.

00:43:55.000 If that's not real, it sounds like it makes sense and they should adopt that.

00:43:59.000 But yeah, there's a desire among lefties to do what I think Thomas Sowell refers to as, like, mascotism.

00:44:06.000 Like, they want to have black mascots that aren't necessarily, like, they don't necessarily have anything to do with the organization, but as long as they're there and it looks nice, and it's weirdly to give the illusion of fighting racism, but in reality, there's, like, nothing more racist than, like, I want A black logo. 0.80

00:44:24.000 Tokenism.

00:44:25.000 Yeah, so that you can think I'm virtuous.

00:44:29.000 You know what I mean?

00:44:29.000 I will say, I'm actually surprised they did this, but they did add a white stripe to the new LGBT flag.

00:44:39.000 What is the white stripe for though?

00:44:40.000 White people. 0.69

00:44:41.000 Really?

00:44:43.000 I would doubt that.

00:44:44.000 I mean, I look at a flag that's got a black and a brown stripe for black and brown people, and then there's a white stripe, and then a yellow triangle.

00:44:51.000 The only thing I can say is if they say the stripes represent the color of the people, well, there's a white stripe.

00:44:56.000 They're like, life is not black and white, Ian.

00:44:59.000 You know that flag is copyrighted, right?

00:45:00.000 That new one?

00:45:01.000 Yeah.

00:45:01.000 Really?

00:45:02.000 Owned by somebody?

00:45:03.000 You mean the one with the purple circle in it?

00:45:05.000 I don't know if that's the circle, but it's like the one with the black and brown with the diamond.

00:45:09.000 It looks like the ripoff of the Puerto Rican flag.

00:45:12.000 I think my biggest problem is the level of intelligence of the people that we're talking about

00:45:16.000 because people are not black and white at all, and we never have been, 0.95

00:45:20.000 but that people are just accepting these dumb phrases of black and white

00:45:24.000 and then they're saying it anyway is concerning to me. 0.87

00:45:27.000 My favorite thing about the whole critical race theory stuff, the critical race applied principles, is that they're like, whiteness doesn't mean white people.

00:45:35.000 We're not saying, it's whiteness, it's a structure of the system.

00:45:39.000 Black and brown means literally the color of your skin.

00:45:41.000 It's like... Black, there's no black skin. 1.00

00:45:43.000 It's like, clearly they mean white people when they're saying whiteness.

00:45:47.000 Well, you always gotta get these people and ask them, okay, what's the difference between a white supremacist nation and a white majority nation?

00:45:55.000 They won't be able to tell you.

00:45:57.000 And I didn't think of that.

00:45:57.000 I got that question from Devin Tracy.

00:45:59.000 Well, here's a question.

00:46:00.000 What's the difference between a white supremacist nation and a Chinese majority nation? 0.92

00:46:03.000 Well, they would be potentially Chinese supremacists. 0.62

00:46:06.000 Well, exactly.

00:46:07.000 Like, but they would say whiteness.

00:46:08.000 They would say, oh, well, I kid you not.

00:46:10.000 They would say something like, well, because the Chinese population is the majority in China, they're white. 0.99

00:46:15.000 I mean, they think Asian people are white anyway.

00:46:17.000 So, but yeah, but I will say it's just this, this, this flag, in my opinion, represents that There was no committee vote on this.

00:46:28.000 It was like someone did it, and it was a meme.

00:46:30.000 And that shows that a lot of what's happening on the left is basically... I view it as kind of like... Oh, you ever see that horror movie, The Blob?

00:46:38.000 Yeah, a long time ago.

00:46:40.000 Which one?

00:46:41.000 There was one, it was like in the 80s, I think.

00:46:42.000 That's the one I saw.

00:46:44.000 John Carpenter's The Blob.

00:46:45.000 It lands in the meteor or something, and then it's small, but then it eats something, a rodent, and then it grows a little bigger.

00:46:51.000 Nightmares happen.

00:46:51.000 That's exactly what it is.

00:46:53.000 Right?

00:46:53.000 That's what the left is doing right now.

00:46:55.000 It's just absorbing institutions and then growing bigger, but it's nonsensical.

00:47:00.000 It's just a heaping mass.

00:47:02.000 You can see it.

00:47:03.000 It's nondescript and it's insane.

00:47:05.000 And it's ripping itself.

00:47:07.000 Well, it's ripping everything apart.

00:47:09.000 It's just destroying things.

00:47:10.000 And it's based on nonsense. 0.98

00:47:13.000 The whole thing about black trans women being killed more... My friend Nuancebro did a video on this and he found that black trans women have a lower rate of death by homicide than regular black men. 0.97

00:47:26.000 Like some biological males that just identify as male.

00:47:29.000 I don't know why I'm over-explaining that.

00:47:31.000 You did a good job.

00:47:32.000 So I want to just kind of wrap this into the conversation at large, is that we're talking about, we start off talking about the Balkanization of this country.

00:47:41.000 Why is it possible, in my opinion, that we're heading towards this?

00:47:44.000 Because this stuff makes no sense.

00:47:47.000 Boston Pride shuts down because Black Lives Matter accused them of not having enough diversity.

00:47:53.000 So they just shut down their civil rights organization after 50 years, just like that?

00:47:57.000 Bro, if it's that easy to dissolve an organization and we're at, you know, a roughly 35%, probably not a fair number, but you know, it's the best number we got.

00:48:07.000 How do you, how hard do you think it's really going to be to dissolve these bonds?

00:48:10.000 They did that on Toronto, remember, too.

00:48:12.000 A couple of years ago, they sat down in front of the gay private raid.

00:48:15.000 Oh, that's right.

00:48:15.000 And then they gave them a list of demands.

00:48:17.000 Where I come from, that's called taking hostages.

00:48:19.000 They had a huge acronym that I was trying to read.

00:48:23.000 I'm not kidding.

00:48:24.000 It was like Q-T-I-I-3-9.

00:48:28.000 I'm not trying to be mean.

00:48:31.000 There's like a number two in it, too.

00:48:33.000 Yeah, but no, no, I'm not- so there's LGBTQIA- LGBTQIAP2 plus- It's like I-A-A- yeah, there's a plus in there.

00:48:42.000 No, but there's another one, which is a reference to marginalized people, not- like, the LGBT one is a reference to, like, gender identities and sexuality, and the other one is based on racial identities and, you know, racial- and culture, so that one is like...

00:48:56.000 You know how they do like, um, what is it, uh, Asian Pacific Islander or whatever it's called?

00:49:01.000 A-A-I-A-P-I or whatever.

00:49:03.000 Yeah.

00:49:03.000 A-A-P-I or whatever?

00:49:04.000 There was one like that and it was like A-A-P-I-T-3-S-2-9-1-1.

00:49:09.000 That's like a robot's name.

00:49:10.000 T-2 was a way better movie than T-3.

00:49:12.000 I'm just throwing out that controversial opinion.

00:49:15.000 No, no, but it is, it gets crazy.

00:49:17.000 My favorite one that's included in there is in the Two Spirit.

00:49:19.000 It's the second A for ally.

00:49:22.000 It's like what?

00:49:22.000 That's just yeah, there's one of them is ally.

00:49:24.000 So if you're a straight, and a straight, yeah, straight, a straight and a cis heteronormative.

00:49:31.000 Oh, I was thinking about cis and trans.

00:49:33.000 There's trans out the Romans had trans Alpine Gaul and cis Alpine Gaul.

00:49:37.000 I don't know if this relevant.

00:49:38.000 Trans and cis are... Means beyond and nearer to. 1.00

00:49:41.000 That's literally why they say you're a cis person or a trans person.

00:49:45.000 They say cis is a reference to like... I'm glad I got that out.

00:49:48.000 But like if you're straight, then like you get to be in the acronym.

00:49:52.000 And it's like, dude, that's not for you.

00:49:53.000 Just stop.

00:49:54.000 Go.

00:49:55.000 Get out of there.

00:49:55.000 Like add a white stripe to the flag.

00:49:58.000 We still don't know what it's for.

00:49:59.000 It doesn't matter what they say it's for.

00:50:01.000 If the black and brown represent black and brown people, the white stripe represents white people. 0.82

00:50:05.000 Is the white stripe underneath the black and brown stripe?

00:50:08.000 No.

00:50:08.000 It's underneath the blue and... periwinkle stripe?

00:50:11.000 What?

00:50:12.000 I gotta look at this picture.

00:50:13.000 What is this called?

00:50:15.000 That may be white supremacy.

00:50:17.000 If it's above it, I'm just gonna say that.

00:50:19.000 Well, it is the first stripe.

00:50:21.000 Racism. 0.99

00:50:24.000 Oh, the whites are gonna be asexual. 0.99

00:50:27.000 No, the, um, isn't that what the yellow is for? 0.98

00:50:32.000 What is the yellow?

00:50:32.000 I'm not going to say what I thought the yellow was for because that was a bad answer.

00:50:36.000 Super racist.

00:50:37.000 I think they're missing the point of white. 0.93

00:50:38.000 I was going to say Pikachu, like the Pokemon.

00:50:41.000 When I, so my family had a cafe in, uh, on North Halstead in Chicago, which is like, it's Boys Town. 0.95

00:50:47.000 It's the gay neighborhood.

00:50:48.000 And then there's, um, the one where Jesse Smollett was attacked.

00:50:52.000 No, no, no.

00:50:52.000 He wasn't there.

00:50:53.000 He was in downtown.

00:50:54.000 North Halsted is several miles north.

00:50:54.000 Okay.

00:50:56.000 It's by Wrigley Field.

00:50:59.000 And then there's Boys Town and Ladies Town. 0.91

00:51:02.000 And I forgot what Ladies Town's actual name is, but that's where the lesbians are at and the gay men are in Boys Town. 1.00

00:51:09.000 But I was told when I was there that the flag represented different aspects of the gay community, not races or anything like that.

00:51:17.000 I don't know for sure though, but it's weird to see that they added race to it.

00:51:19.000 Yeah, I thought it was just like flamboyant colors that they liked wearing.

00:51:22.000 No, they represent something.

00:51:25.000 They represent something.

00:51:25.000 I thought it was them being extra because normally one cause, one color.

00:51:29.000 And they're like, we want all the colors.

00:51:30.000 That makes sense to me.

00:51:30.000 How about that?

00:51:31.000 They're like, deal with gray if you want to be opposed to us.

00:51:33.000 I don't like the whites on there because when you look at a rainbow, all the colors, it's white light.

00:51:39.000 And only if you look at it through a prism, do you start to see all the colors of the rainbow, which is the flag is the colors of the rainbow.

00:51:44.000 Like when they combined all of the lantern rings, they created the white lantern core.

00:51:49.000 There we go.

00:51:49.000 It's all the light.

00:51:50.000 You've proven my point.

00:51:51.000 I'm just saying like the new flag's got a white stripe in it.

00:51:53.000 Oh man.

00:51:54.000 I think of myself as an ally.

00:51:55.000 I think of myself as like an ally to people in general, to these people of all kinds, but I don't virtue signal.

00:52:01.000 Would you ally with the blob?

00:52:03.000 Let me put it this way.

00:52:04.000 The blob consumes a Krispy Kreme.

00:52:06.000 I think that would be game time.

00:52:07.000 And you like Krispy Kreme, and you're like, I'm a fan of the blob because it consumed Krispy Kreme.

00:52:11.000 It's a game time decision, because if, if... No, I probably wouldn't ally with the blob.

00:52:16.000 This is what I'm trying to say.

00:52:18.000 I believe in civil rights.

00:52:20.000 I'm actually fairly, moderately left on a lot of the social justice causes.

00:52:25.000 But when you have a blob that consumes institutions, I'm not going to pretend the blob represents those institutions.

00:52:31.000 But the blob is full of people, so you can interact with those people.

00:52:34.000 No, they dissolved a long time ago.

00:52:36.000 I would say you can't use their language.

00:52:38.000 The reason they use the term social justice, which is why I named my channel to be the opposite of that, is because it's like, oh, I'm not against societal progress and justice, but once we start adopting their language, it doesn't work.

00:52:51.000 I agree with you.

00:52:52.000 In terms of social issues, I'm really libertarian.

00:52:55.000 But like, we can't use their terms.

00:52:57.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:52:58.000 Yeah, no, that's absolutely.

00:53:00.000 So just to simplify, when the blob, when I see like, you know, an LGBT, you know, Pride campaign or something, or Boston Pride, and they're like, we believe that we should have the right to live freely and be in our homes, and I'm like, I hear you, man.

00:53:14.000 Then a blob consumes them.

00:53:15.000 And then the blob, like a face comes out of the flesh of the blob, but it's like, just like a flat blob face going, I believe in rats!

00:53:23.000 I'm like, that's not Boston Pride!

00:53:25.000 That's something else!

00:53:26.000 I knew you once, but no longer.

00:53:29.000 Have you ever seen The Frighteners?

00:53:31.000 With Michael J. Fox?

00:53:33.000 Nope.

00:53:34.000 You've never seen it?

00:53:35.000 I've heard of it, though.

00:53:36.000 There's like, the walls, it's like someone's pushing out through latex, that's what it looks like.

00:53:41.000 That's what it would be like when the blob is rolling by and then you see a civil rights activist come out and go, support civil rights!

00:53:47.000 They can be exorcised from the blob.

00:53:49.000 It just takes strategic surgery, mental surgery. 0.94

00:53:53.000 It's also weird how these movements kind of imitate real life because there is more homophobia among the black community in the United States of America.

00:54:00.000 America on average, obviously there's pockets of like, you know, evangelical Christians or, or actually Mormons are nice to everybody.

00:54:06.000 They just want to play board games with you, but there's like pockets of it.

00:54:09.000 So like for a like supposed black civil rights movement to bully out of existence, a gay civil rights movement, it's really like, it's like almost like the movements are imitating their, uh, their base. 0.95

00:54:22.000 Well, let's, let's, let's jump back to the, the nightmare scenario that is what the government is doing and, uh, outside of the, the insanity of the left.

00:54:29.000 So the general idea, I guess, like, the reason I wanted to get into that is that you've got this cultural movement which is just chaos.

00:54:34.000 It's fire.

00:54:35.000 It's rot.

00:54:35.000 It's destructive.

00:54:36.000 And you can see that at the federal level, I feel like they really, really are panicking.

00:54:41.000 This idea of Balkanization is real. 1.00

00:54:43.000 When the states start saying, F you.

00:54:45.000 When they were like, yo, we're gonna lock down in Texas and Florida, we're like, nah.

00:54:48.000 Joe Biden said, we're going to have to lock down more.

00:54:51.000 Meanwhile, people are parting it up in some of these states, clearly having no authority.

00:54:55.000 Check out this story from the New York Post.

00:54:58.000 The White House is flagging posts for Facebook to censor over COVID misinformation.

00:55:03.000 We also saw that story where the Biden administration and the DNC were talking with text message providers, phone companies, to censor text messages.

00:55:13.000 Oh, we crossed that Rubicon, baby.

00:55:15.000 This is it.

00:55:16.000 that's no no no we haven't crossed the road what happened I mean what went when

00:55:20.000 when Jen Psaki can go on TV and say she emphasized the word for she goes we are

00:55:26.000 flagging for Facebook I was like whoa that's not constitutional in any stretch

00:55:33.000 of the imagination When they would normally do something like this, they would go, we are not telling Facebook what to do.

00:55:39.000 We are merely asking them to enforce their rules to help this country.

00:55:42.000 Even that is questionable.

00:55:44.000 The government can't go to a private company and say, censor this.

00:55:47.000 They can't.

00:55:48.000 She's saying they're doing it.

00:55:50.000 They talk about going after our text messages, bro.

00:55:53.000 That Rubicon's been crossed.

00:55:55.000 So who's Caesar in this metaphor?

00:55:56.000 Joe Biden!

00:55:57.000 No!

00:55:58.000 No one will follow him into battle.

00:56:00.000 Come on, man!

00:56:01.000 I got hairy legs!

00:56:03.000 Joe Biden's like, I'm both Caesar and Brutus.

00:56:05.000 I don't know what to do, man.

00:56:06.000 I think the wonderful thing is there's no cult of personality here.

00:56:09.000 If there was a cult leader, democratic president that people were obsessed with, we might see a Trump.

00:56:15.000 Yeah, but he wasn't the Democratic leader.

00:56:18.000 Like if there was a Democrat, if Biden was not Biden, but some crazy cult leader, that would be Rubicon danger where he could turn it into an empire.

00:56:29.000 We have a very strong First Amendment.

00:56:31.000 So when you do stuff like this, that's not technically a formal attack on the First Amendment, that's referred to as chilling free speech.

00:56:38.000 And you're not allowed via Supreme Court decisions to chill free speech in that way.

00:56:41.000 I don't know.

00:56:42.000 I think this is overt.

00:56:43.000 Like they're not saying they're not saying we're going to censor it.

00:56:47.000 They're trying to do an end around to censor indirectly.

00:56:50.000 So like that's the maneuver that they would be using.

00:56:52.000 But that's also unconstitutional.

00:56:54.000 It's called chilling free speech.

00:56:55.000 No, I think chilling free speech is different.

00:56:57.000 I'm pretty sure if the Democrats are being sued over this in California.

00:57:03.000 If the government goes to a private company and says, censor this, it is the government taking an overt action, not chilling any- they're literally the ones doing the censorship.

00:57:10.000 The way that you phrased it, it was like, we're not saying censor it, but we're flagging this for Facebook.

00:57:15.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:57:15.000 I'm saying, normally, what the Democrats or the government would do is say, the government is not in the business of censoring Americans.

00:57:22.000 We're just letting Facebook know when there's misinformation, and they can deal with it as they see fit.

00:57:22.000 Right.

00:57:27.000 That's not what they're doing.

00:57:28.000 That's what you'd expect them to do.

00:57:30.000 What they're doing now is, Psaki is literally saying, we are flagging it for them to remove.

00:57:35.000 Okay.

00:57:36.000 So that's, that's what I, that's right.

00:57:37.000 That's, that's overtly, it would be, it would be like this.

00:57:40.000 Imagine if the federal government was like, We hired Securitas to go detain, arrest a bunch of people who are at church because they're Christian. 0.99

00:57:52.000 You're not going to be like, that's okay because a private company did it?

00:57:56.000 Well, the government hires them to do it.

00:57:58.000 The government instructs them to do it.

00:58:00.000 They can't.

00:58:01.000 That's literally what they're doing right now.

00:58:03.000 This is this is like the or maybe it will lead to the official return of Operation Chokepoint, which was under the Obama administration, where they would target certain sketchy borderline industries and reach out to the banking companies, the payment processes and all that, and get them to stop doing business with them.

00:58:21.000 And the whole point was like, we're going to do human trafficking.

00:58:23.000 But then all of a sudden, people who were like legitimately actors in the porn industry would lose their bank accounts.

00:58:29.000 Right.

00:58:29.000 They're like, we're going to do gun smuggling.

00:58:32.000 But all of a sudden federally licensed firearm dealerships would lose their bank accounts.

00:58:36.000 So like the Obama administration in, well, not formally created a list of industries and like industries that they determined to be adjacent to problems in the country.

00:58:46.000 And they use federal power to get rid of that.

00:58:48.000 Then Trump comes into office and these companies almost continue that program in his absence.

00:58:53.000 And now Biden's back in and he's like, well, let's formalize what you guys have been doing already.

00:58:58.000 Here's what's next.

00:58:59.000 Glenn Greenwald tweets, the White House is admitting that they're compiling lists of

00:59:04.000 people who they claim are posting content they regard as problematic, and that constitute

00:59:08.000 misinformation and are demanding Facebook remove them. This is authoritarianism.

00:59:13.000 So how long until the White House puts out their list of extremist content producers,

00:59:19.000 and they say the insurrectionists were following these people, which of course is going to include

00:59:24.000 most of the people you know and love, because people follow a lot of people.

00:59:28.000 You know what they won't do?

00:59:29.000 They won't point out that many of these same people will be following Brian Stelter on CNN.

00:59:33.000 Well, but that's not relevant.

00:59:34.000 But you'll see Crowder's name in there, you know, stick, sex, and hammer was like, I hope I make the list. 1.00

00:59:38.000 What happens when they do that?

00:59:40.000 And then they say, the extremists, those who espouse incitement to insurrection, that is illegal and we're going to shut down their accounts.

00:59:50.000 Yeah, I mean, look, I was told by one of these quote unquote insurrectionists that never went into the building that they watch my content.

00:59:56.000 So like, ooh, I inspired an extremist.

00:59:59.000 I, I somehow may have inspired somebody that's further to the right than me much further according to, to this like interpretation.

01:00:06.000 But yeah, it's definitely a huge problem that they're that they're doing this and that they keep pushing the gas on censorship.

01:00:13.000 Again, it's, It's an informal, or it's, I'm sorry, it's the formalization of what was already happening while Trump was in office, what became normal.

01:00:22.000 And like the Biden administration is totally cool with it.

01:00:24.000 And we're not, we shouldn't be surprised.

01:00:25.000 Cause remember when Obama played the Facebook algorithm, the Facebook guys came up to him after he won his election.

01:00:31.000 And they were like, we knew what you were doing.

01:00:33.000 And we thought it was so cool.

01:00:34.000 Cause we were on your side.

01:00:35.000 Trump plays the Facebook algorithm.

01:00:37.000 They changed the rules completely.

01:00:38.000 Reddit.

01:00:39.000 Yeah, Reddit.

01:00:40.000 The Donald dominated the front page of Reddit all the time, so they were like, we're going to remove the Donald from the front page, period.

01:00:47.000 As soon as Republicans figured out how to use the internet, they were like, well, you know, we gotta have authoritative services.

01:00:52.000 So what if 95% of the mainstream media, except for Fox, is left-leaning?

01:00:56.000 Don't worry about it.

01:00:57.000 It's gonna be authoritative.

01:00:58.000 And now they're untethered.

01:01:00.000 The left is completely untethered from society because of—once big tech started playing that game of, we can—we'll ban the conservatives, and that's literally what they're doing.

01:01:10.000 There are some people on the left who get banned, don't get me wrong, there's a lot of them.

01:01:13.000 But when people saw, and I don't think it was an intentional movement, I think it was a natural progression, that you've got left and right, and Facebook and Twitter and YouTube say, this chunk of the right is gone, and this chunk of the left is gone.

01:01:27.000 Now the whole Overton window just went and shifted farther left.

01:01:31.000 You get the rainbow bleep bleep monkey. 0.97

01:01:34.000 I can actually... I think you can say butt. 0.99

01:01:36.000 Rainbow bleep butt monkey.

01:01:37.000 That's very interesting because physically if you had a structure of two pieces and you removed one of that, like the far right you said was removed, that would...

01:01:47.000 Release the scent.

01:01:48.000 Like you actually said, untethered.

01:01:50.000 Like you've removed the counterweight.

01:01:52.000 Exactly, exactly.

01:01:53.000 Another way to put it is if your left fingertips get removed in an accident, but your whole right hand is removed in an accident, and you're right-handed, now you're gonna be left-handed.

01:02:03.000 You can still use your right arm for things, providing support, but all of a sudden now everything's gonna shift to the left, where the resources are.

01:02:09.000 So, so long as the censorship is 80% conservative and 20% left, everything's going to shift to the left because it's untethered.

01:02:17.000 There's nothing holding them back anymore.

01:02:19.000 So what do you get?

01:02:21.000 Drag queen story hour.

01:02:22.000 Because they don't care about what Republicans say because you will get banned for criticizing these communities.

01:02:29.000 If you say what your issue with it is, you're banned.

01:02:33.000 Then it levels up.

01:02:34.000 Now you've got rainbow bleep butt monkey showing up at the library and the parents going, What? And screaming and freaking out.

01:02:41.000 Anatomically correct.

01:02:42.000 Someone put on...

01:02:44.000 Yeah, we can't...

01:02:45.000 I won't talk too much about it, but yes.

01:02:46.000 They walk that back in the UK for the next couple months.

01:02:49.000 They're never gonna do anything like that again.

01:02:51.000 But the Drag Queen Story Hour, I've been on this for years

01:02:53.000 because I do a partnership with the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

01:02:57.000 And that's not just in public libraries.

01:03:00.000 In certain districts in this country, that's in our public schools.

01:03:02.000 So if you pay taxes, you're paying for Drag Queen Story Hour for these people to come to your school, read to your kids, and all the books are about how, like, you know, you should probably think about gender transitioning. 0.76

01:03:12.000 Like, kindergartner, have you ever considered this?

01:03:15.000 Do you, uh...

01:03:17.000 You ever been to a strip club?

01:03:18.000 Yes.

01:03:19.000 Ian?

01:03:20.000 Yeah.

01:03:20.000 Lydia?

01:03:21.000 But I was there because I knew somebody that owned it.

01:03:21.000 No, I have not.

01:03:25.000 Sure.

01:03:25.000 So what a lot of people don't know is that in many states, maybe even most, they don't get fully nude.

01:03:32.000 In fact, in many of these... Lame.

01:03:34.000 It's true, though. 0.82

01:03:35.000 It's topless only.

01:03:37.000 If you have alcohol, you can't have full nude a lot of times.

01:03:40.000 In a lot of states, especially a lot of red states.

01:03:43.000 How are they still in business with the internet?

01:03:46.000 People like to be there physically.

01:03:47.000 But the other thing, too, is some places aren't even topless.

01:03:50.000 Some states don't even allow topless. 0.63

01:03:52.000 So you ask someone, what is it stripping?

01:03:54.000 And they're going to assume full nude.

01:03:55.000 That's actually not true.

01:03:57.000 That's actually not true.

01:03:58.000 There are places, sure.

01:03:59.000 Just when they take off the beanie.

01:04:00.000 Yes.

01:04:01.000 And here's the point.

01:04:02.000 If you went to, say, I don't know, Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks, and asked them if they would support children taking off their clothes on stage as adult men, would you support an 11-year-old boy on stage taking off his clothing while adult men gave money to him every time he did?

01:04:21.000 No, of course.

01:04:22.000 The boy was still wearing shorts and a t-shirt underneath his outfit.

01:04:25.000 But it was pulling off the clothes and then getting money.

01:04:28.000 Do you think they would support that?

01:04:30.000 I actually think right now they wouldn't give you a straight answer.

01:04:33.000 Because they'd be like, what are you talking about?

01:04:35.000 What are you trying to say?

01:04:36.000 I don't trust what you're asking.

01:04:37.000 It's a straightforward question.

01:04:39.000 The point is, Chan Cougar actually defended child stripping.

01:04:43.000 I'm not exaggerating.

01:04:44.000 This is not a hyperbole.

01:04:46.000 There is, I'm not going to say the name of the child who does what they call drag shows, but drag shows are conspicuously similar to stripping, where he goes on the stage as a bunch of adults throw money to him and give him money as he takes his clothing off.

01:05:01.000 And so I saw that and I immediately was like, now that looks like stripping.

01:05:05.000 Called some people I knew who worked in the industry, asked them some questions, and they said... I didn't ask them about the drag show.

01:05:13.000 I said, what would you call this?

01:05:14.000 And I said, a person on stage taking off an outer layer of clothing to reveal undergarments, maybe a t-shirt and shorts, while adults in the audience are giving money as they do it.

01:05:25.000 And they were like, that's stripping.

01:05:26.000 And I said, as I described it, like, of course.

01:05:29.000 And I was like, but they don't get naked.

01:05:31.000 But you don't always get naked.

01:05:32.000 And I'm like, okay, so that would be stripping.

01:05:34.000 Yes, absolutely.

01:05:36.000 These are people I know who have worked, some women, in multiple states.

01:05:40.000 And they explain, they're like in Vegas, here's how it works.

01:05:43.000 Vegas is like, they got brothels. 1.00

01:05:45.000 In like the Dakotas, it's actually like this.

01:05:48.000 In red states that are more religious, oh man, you can't even, you have to be wearing like a full top.

01:05:54.000 So quite literally, it's indistinguishable.

01:05:57.000 And Cenk Uygur has a show where he actively defends the practice.

01:06:01.000 So, when we're at that level, I don't even know what to say, man.

01:06:06.000 That is untethered.

01:06:07.000 That is what untethered means.

01:06:09.000 That was like a haymaker to my face when I saw that.

01:06:11.000 When a high-profile, progressive YouTube channel With millions of followers, and he actively says, pre-bubescent boys taking off their clothing for adult men at a bar for money is okay. 0.68

01:06:24.000 I'm like, what?

01:06:25.000 No, I'm sorry, dude.

01:06:27.000 You've crossed the line.

01:06:28.000 You're untethered from reality.

01:06:29.000 Because I can sit here and be like, I actually think we need basic universal healthcare with private supplemental insurance.

01:06:35.000 I'm in favor of that.

01:06:36.000 I'm actually in favor of universal parental leave.

01:06:38.000 I think we've got a big problem with parents not being there for their kids.

01:06:42.000 I think if we had that some way solidified, it would be fantastic.

01:06:45.000 I think we've got a huge problem that businesses are tied to healthcare.

01:06:48.000 I think Andrew Yang was right about that.

01:06:50.000 And I think the Young Turks have lost their minds when they defend child stripping. 0.64

01:06:53.000 Yeah.

01:06:54.000 Well, I mean, you better stop attacking Jank, otherwise Ana's gonna blackmail you. 0.98

01:07:01.000 But, yeah, no, Jank saying that is ridiculous, and they are very, like, weaselly about it, because they'll deny it, but then they'll say how they're in favor of it.

01:07:09.000 Like, that's the trick.

01:07:10.000 That's not happening.

01:07:11.000 But also, you're weird and creepy for being against it, even though...

01:07:15.000 Even under drag circumstances.

01:07:16.000 So I asked around.

01:07:18.000 Typically they leave the money for whichever drag person is on the stage in like a jar away from it.

01:07:24.000 So you don't have the image of them flinging dollar bills up there.

01:07:28.000 And that's not even just a kid on a stage getting that image.

01:07:32.000 It's also like After midnight?

01:07:35.000 I'm pretty sure they were drinking, right?

01:07:39.000 I don't want to say things unless I'm absolutely sure, so either way, it's untethered.

01:07:44.000 So what happens is, when you have a tribalism, the blob, it's absorbing institutions.

01:07:50.000 And now the blob is saying that these things should happen, which are horrifying, it's disgusting.

01:07:56.000 Jank is scared that if he says the wrong thing, he'll offend his audience.

01:07:59.000 So he defends it.

01:08:00.000 And they had Jordan Klepper from Comedy Central saying, isn't it so great to hear what this kid has to say about being an advocate? 0.99

01:08:06.000 And I'm like, you people are nuts. 0.97

01:08:09.000 You've gone so far off the rails. 0.99

01:08:11.000 It used to be...

01:08:12.000 You know, when I grew up, that the conservatives would argue something and it was an argument.

01:08:17.000 No, no, you can't do that.

01:08:18.000 Safe, legal, and rare for abortion.

01:08:20.000 Now it's Lena Dunham saying she wished she got an abortion or whatever, or whatever she said.

01:08:25.000 Yeah, things like that.

01:08:26.000 I've seen Cenk get bullied too.

01:08:26.000 They've untethered.

01:08:28.000 He, in the beginning when defund the police was becoming popular, Cenk was smart. 1.00

01:08:32.000 He was like, this is a stupid slogan. 0.99

01:08:34.000 And you know, 80% of people are against defunding the police. 1.00

01:08:37.000 But slowly but surely, because his audience is supposed to be more on the left, he started saying, listed, I'm gonna be this defund the police guy.

01:08:45.000 And now every time he talks about it, he's like, we're in for defund the police, and then it's like a 30 second explanation.

01:08:50.000 He's for it, but then he gives you the 45 minute pitch of why that doesn't actually mean defund the police.

01:08:56.000 He was right the first time. 1.00

01:08:57.000 Defund the police is a stupid slogan. 1.00

01:08:59.000 I wish I would have invented it for the Democrats to use, because it's tanking them across the country. 0.99

01:09:05.000 Yeah, like, so I've seen him get bullied by his audience, so this might be an issue where he's like, that's questionable, but over time it got, he got browbeat by his audience.

01:09:13.000 The most fascinating thing now that I see with Young Turks is Jank's insistence that the alt-left exists.

01:09:20.000 And what does that mean?

01:09:20.000 Glenn Greenwald, Michael Tracy, Aaron Maté, and Jimmy Dore.

01:09:24.000 The alt-left.

01:09:26.000 I love it. That's not what alt-left means. It's not what it ever meant and it never really caught

01:09:30.000 on anyway. So it's funny that he tries claiming that the people who criticize the establishment

01:09:37.000 and his fake progressive movement are alt-right and alt-left.

01:09:40.000 It's like, dude, maybe you've just lost the plot because you're chasing the dragon man. You

01:09:45.000 want the ratings, you want the clicks.

01:09:46.000 You look at the super cuts of the Young Turks over the years,

01:09:50.000 and it's really, it's really, you can really see how they've compromised over and over and over

01:09:56.000 I saw a clip of them.

01:09:58.000 They had the new hire, and she was like three days on, and he was like, what career?

01:10:01.000 Do you ever see that?

01:10:03.000 Oh, Kim Horcher.

01:10:04.000 You can tell immediately he felt horrible about it, but he was so chill back then.

01:10:08.000 He was so much more relaxed.

01:10:11.000 Agitated things have like tweaked him out over the last like six years.

01:10:15.000 I totally get it.

01:10:16.000 I do.

01:10:17.000 We talked about this the other day, man.

01:10:19.000 This is important.

01:10:21.000 I, uh, you know, when I got started in more actively publicly in politics, like Occupy Wall Street, I went to Occupy Wall Street because I saw these videos of police, like it's just dragging a guy by his foot and it's like his hands bleeding.

01:10:35.000 But I also knew a bunch of hackers, because I've been hanging out at hacker spaces in Los Angeles.

01:10:39.000 I knew a bunch of hackers, you know, around the world, actually, because I, you know, made some friends, got some connections.

01:10:44.000 These all were on the left.

01:10:46.000 All the hacking community was on the left.

01:10:48.000 Anti-establishment, anti-Fed, anti-intelligence agencies.

01:10:51.000 They were pro-journalists, pro-information, pro-free speech.

01:10:55.000 And then something changed.

01:10:57.000 A bunch of these hackers all of a sudden became authoritarian and pro-FBI.

01:11:02.000 In fact, some of these people were on Facebook cheering for the FBI raid on Giuliani.

01:11:09.000 And I commented on the post saying, I'm so glad to see you've finally been de-radicalized, that you would now actively support the FBI.

01:11:16.000 And they're like, well, I mean, well, they're doing the right thing now.

01:11:21.000 Dude, these people on the left used to laugh about the trolling that Weave would do.

01:11:26.000 I can't even say the name of Weave's organization.

01:11:29.000 I cannot say some of the things he's done. 0.75

01:11:31.000 One of the most notorious trolls, if not the most notorious troll on the internet, saying the most offensive things.

01:11:36.000 A bunch of people on the left recognized the right of free speech, and they were edgy, and they were fun, and they mocked things, and they made jokes.

01:11:45.000 And you had George Carlin, and George Carlin would say all of the racial slurs in the world in his bit.

01:11:51.000 Then something started to change over the past 10 years, rapidly and quickly, where, for whatever reason, the leftists fell in line.

01:11:57.000 So imagine you're Cenk Uygur, and you're watching the transformation of your audience.

01:12:02.000 I gotta be honest, the last time I saw Cenk, he yelled at me because he was losing it.

01:12:08.000 Before that, I was shaking his hands at VidCon, so only like probably three three and a half years ago, maybe, talking to him about ad

01:12:16.000 rates and YouTube. And then he started to lose it because, like you said, initially he's like, defund

01:12:21.000 the police is wrong, and now he's embracing it. The left has dramatically changed. And I

01:12:25.000 think there's one really easy and obvious reason. Young people who are authoritarian and pro-state

01:12:32.000 were growing up, entering the public left, the political left, and influencing what was being

01:12:39.000 said.

01:12:40.000 And so now all of the prominent establishment leftists had to start falling in line with their changing audience.

01:12:46.000 So they embrace all that stuff.

01:12:48.000 I've seen some sad stories.

01:12:49.000 I'm not going to get into the full details, but I know some people who I'm not going to get into full details.

01:12:54.000 I know some people who have gone through severe depression.

01:12:56.000 I mean, you live with these people.

01:12:58.000 You're friends with them for ten years.

01:13:00.000 You've gone through all these adventures.

01:13:02.000 You've said every awful thing you can think of because you're trolls on the internet, hackers who believe in free speech.

01:13:07.000 And then one day, all of your friends are saying, you can't say that anymore.

01:13:10.000 Everything you've done is wrong, and we're going to cancel you unless you come out in support of us.

01:13:14.000 And then you're thinking to yourself, like, These people don't believe in anything we've done.

01:13:19.000 They hate who we are.

01:13:20.000 They hate what we've done.

01:13:21.000 What do you do?

01:13:22.000 So, Cenk, losing his mind, freaking out, snapping at me at Politicon?

01:13:27.000 Yeah, he's trapped.

01:13:28.000 He is trapped in that box.

01:13:31.000 Also, it's frustrating if you're, like, the network, and you see all this talent come through your system, and then they can go be more successful on your own, and you're seeing your numbers drop, but your former employee's doing well.

01:13:43.000 Dave Rubin, I've done videos about how Anna and Cenk have been unbelievably nasty to Dave Rubin.

01:13:49.000 Talking about how they never liked him, they wanted to hire his husband, and they embarrassed him.

01:13:53.000 It's really nasty stuff that you should never air publicly.

01:13:56.000 Jimmy Dore, the only difference with the Jimmy Dore thing is Jimmy Dore is using Cenk's rhetoric more effectively.

01:14:03.000 Cenk's the big money in politics guy.

01:14:04.000 He'll tell you, if you take five grand as a congressman from the NRA, then you are corrupt and you want children to die by firearms.

01:14:13.000 Well, Cenk took $20 million from Jeffrey Katzenberg.

01:14:16.000 So when Jimmy Dore points that out, everything Cenk has been saying up until this time, Jimmy has the rhetorical advantage.

01:14:23.000 And it's like, yeah, you shouldn't have put all your eggs in the money in politics basket.

01:14:26.000 What we're seeing with the meltdown of the Young Turks, it's exactly what you were saying.

01:14:30.000 It's funny that you have these people who were all part of the network in some way and they move on and find huge success.

01:14:38.000 Jimmy Dore is still very much saying what he's always said.

01:14:41.000 He's critical of the establishment.

01:14:43.000 He's critical of Democrats.

01:14:44.000 And Glenn Greenwald as well.

01:14:47.000 I remember I criticized Glenn Greenwald because I thought he was being unfair to CNN because he did it.

01:14:51.000 He was doing this event and he was talking about CNN.

01:14:53.000 And I was like, come on, like, you know, we can rag on the mainstream media, but hold on there a minute.

01:14:59.000 Now I look at a lot of things they're doing, and I've got my criticisms of Glenn Greenwald, absolutely, but I'm impressed that he stuck to his principles for as long as he did, to the point where he actually leaves The Intercept.

01:15:09.000 Cenk Uygur is watching that.

01:15:10.000 He's watching the people that do represent his values, what he actually believes, deep down inside.

01:15:17.000 But he knows he can't do anything because he's tethered to this contract.

01:15:21.000 Here's what I think.

01:15:22.000 $20 million.

01:15:22.000 Who do you take it from?

01:15:23.000 Jeffrey Katzenberg.

01:15:24.000 So he can't just come out and say the things he wants to say.

01:15:28.000 Because he has contracts.

01:15:29.000 He's locked in place.

01:15:30.000 Is Katzenberg the Disney guy?

01:15:32.000 Yeah, a former Disney CEO, yeah.

01:15:33.000 Big Hillary Clinton bundlers. 0.95

01:15:35.000 Imagine you have a contract that's like, you gotta do X, Y, and Z. And they're like, don't worry, we're all about the left and progressives, right?

01:15:42.000 And you're like, this works.

01:15:43.000 You sign the deal.

01:15:44.000 Then the progressives become authoritarian crackpot ideologues and you're looking at former employees leaving and your ship is sailing and you're like, I literally can't get off the boat because of the contract I signed.

01:15:55.000 So are they stuck under like a contract?

01:15:57.000 It's an investment.

01:15:58.000 So like the fact that they're not profitable, like, you know, you have to, you have to make a return for your investors.

01:16:03.000 It's not like they bought the, I'm sure they bought a portion of it.

01:16:06.000 You don't give somebody $20 million for zero percent of their company.

01:16:10.000 But, you know, it's a private company, so a lot of the details are hidden.

01:16:15.000 But yeah, it's that.

01:16:17.000 But what's funny about Glenn Greenwald and Jimmy Dore being anti-Jank, is that Jank, Jimmy Dore, and Greenwald were all a part of the crew that tried to kick Sam Harris out of the left years ago.

01:16:27.000 So when you were saying Glenn Greenwald was unfair, not CNN, to Sam Harris.

01:16:33.000 Unbelievably unfair to him.

01:16:34.000 Jimmy Dore too.

01:16:35.000 And Jimmy Dore, like, Even though I'm enjoying this, I'm not a Jimmy Dore fan and I can't stand people in my audience, so hi guys, that say Jimmy Dore's the correct leftist, Jimmy Dore's the good leftist.

01:16:48.000 Let me be 100% clear about something.

01:16:50.000 Have you ever heard this idea that the Young Turks inspired a police shooting?

01:16:56.000 I've never heard that before.

01:16:56.000 Yeah, so it's the Baton Rouge one.

01:16:58.000 I won't name the name for the algorithm purposes.

01:17:01.000 The young Turk that inspired them was Jimmy Dore.

01:17:04.000 I do remember hearing about this vaguely.

01:17:05.000 And you can find the videos online.

01:17:07.000 So like for me, it's a battle of the scummy.

01:17:10.000 I will watch it for entertainment, but I'm not jumping on any team.

01:17:14.000 I like Jimmy Dore for one reason.

01:17:17.000 He'll talk to you, he'll be straight about it.

01:17:18.000 So he has his opinions, he makes his videos, he talks about what we want to talk about.

01:17:22.000 I disagree with him on a decent amount, but I know that I can message him and he's like a real human being.

01:17:28.000 And so I know a lot of people, Ian and I have differing opinions.

01:17:31.000 But if we can actually talk, and you'll be honest in our conversations, like real people, then I'm cool with that.

01:17:37.000 Like, I could hang out with a communist so long as they were totally honest about what communism was and meant.

01:17:43.000 Just don't lie to me and be real and I'll be like, well, maybe we shouldn't, maybe we won't be friends, but I can have a polite conversation and be like, that's cool, you know?

01:17:51.000 My thing is, is that if I speculated terribly on a story and that turned out to be false and that inspired somebody to kill three cops, I would at least acknowledge it publicly.

01:18:01.000 You know, let me explain, you know, the Young Turks rage in this way. 1.00

01:18:07.000 I signed a deal with Univision's, you know, and Disney Fusions company.

01:18:11.000 It was a two-year contract.

01:18:12.000 It was for a lot of money.

01:18:14.000 And when they started doing bad stuff, and I didn't like it, and I didn't want to play that ridiculous woke game, they just put me in golden handcuffs, where they were basically like, sit back and do nothing because there's nothing you can do.

01:18:25.000 And I tried breaking the... I said, will you let me out of the contract?

01:18:27.000 They basically said no.

01:18:28.000 They didn't say it outright, but they were like, well, you know, let's revisit the conversation later, and then I'm just sitting there like, I can't do anything.

01:18:34.000 Now, for me, I didn't lose my mind, because I had no obligations to be on camera saying these things.

01:18:40.000 I literally was just like, I'm not gonna go on camera and say these things.

01:18:43.000 There was an instance where I was doing a mini-doc on this cop watch group.

01:18:49.000 And when I was talking to some woman about police brutality, and then I, uh, it was the craziest thing.

01:18:54.000 I brought up, we were just talking.

01:18:56.000 And then I mentioned, you know, and she said, you know, growing up and being Asian in New York, you deal with a lot of police brutality.

01:19:02.000 And I was like, yeah, yeah.

01:19:03.000 I was like, my family absolutely dealt with a lot of this stuff too.

01:19:06.000 Cause you know, I'm, I'm part Korean.

01:19:07.000 And then she, she immediately snapped at me and got really mad and said, no, you have no idea what you're talking about. 1.00

01:19:11.000 Take that back.

01:19:12.000 And I was like, but my family did go through this stuff.

01:19:15.000 Like we, we had bricks thrown through our window.

01:19:17.000 And then I was just like, dude, if you guys want to finish this shoot, I'm not going to be, I'm not going to sit here and take a racist, you know, insult or anything like that.

01:19:25.000 I don't have to be here and I don't want to be involved in this.

01:19:27.000 And I'm not going to, I'm not going to be the person on camera who's in there going like, oh, I'm so sorry that I, I'm so, no, I'm not doing it.

01:19:33.000 So they put me in golden handcuffs.

01:19:35.000 But I didn't have to be, you know, on camera.

01:19:37.000 Cenk has to host his show.

01:19:40.000 And so what if he starts saying things like the establishment is bad?

01:19:45.000 He did say the Democrats lie all the time.

01:19:46.000 I can respect that.

01:19:47.000 But what if he starts coming out and saying, you know, Trump's right about the manufacturing base leaving?

01:19:51.000 It's going to hurt the investors.

01:19:53.000 They're going to revolt, and they could come after him for breach of contract.

01:19:56.000 You're hurting the company.

01:19:57.000 You're hurting the investment.

01:19:58.000 You owe us.

01:19:59.000 So he has no choice but to sit on this boat forever, for however long.

01:20:03.000 It could be forever.

01:20:04.000 It's an investment.

01:20:05.000 It could be forever.

01:20:06.000 He's trapped.

01:20:07.000 And he's watching Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald, and they're on the shore waving goodbye as he drifts further and further out into oblivion.

01:20:13.000 And the reason Jimmy has the overwhelming advantage in their dispute is because, based on the ideological parameters that Cenk has set out, Jimmy's right.

01:20:23.000 Like, force the vote for Medicare for All.

01:20:26.000 I've disputed the polling around Medicare for All multiple times, but that doesn't matter.

01:20:30.000 They all theoretically believe that everybody's in support of Medicare for All, and now's the time to do it.

01:20:35.000 Jimmy Dore was 100% right in that progressive sphere, which is why Cenk lost publicly in the PR battle for that.

01:20:43.000 I mean, I think the Young Turks are not long for this political landscape, to be equally honest.

01:20:47.000 And Anna did black. 1.00

01:20:49.000 Like, that was an attempted black vote.

01:20:50.000 Yeah, well, explain that.

01:20:51.000 What was that?

01:20:52.000 So, she... So, what ended up happening is they were going... Jimmy was hitting the Young Turks for a long time, and over-forced the vote, by name, since, like, November, December, whenever he started to force the vote.

01:21:02.000 Well, let's start from that part.

01:21:03.000 Basically, there were progressives who said, The squad and progressive members of Congress should withhold their support for Nancy Pelosi unless Pelosi agrees to have a floor vote on Medicare for All.

01:21:14.000 The Young Turks were like, NO! 1.00

01:21:16.000 Don't do it!

01:21:17.000 Don't help Republicans!

01:21:18.000 And they would make up that there was a scenario where they could make a Republican speaker.

01:21:22.000 Which, by the way, being a speaker without a majority is meaningless anyway, so even if that wasn't a lie, which it was, Cenk was lying about that, it wouldn't mean anything.

01:21:30.000 So Jimmy was calling that out because he was a big advocate of it.

01:21:33.000 And it seemed like Cenk was jealous that Jimmy thought of it, or maybe he was trying to preserve relationships with the squad or something like that.

01:21:44.000 Over time, that led into Jimmy attacking Cenk as a televangelist because you get $20 million from Katzenberg, but you're out there every day like, I need money.

01:21:52.000 The funniest email by far, and I'm on the Young Turks email list, so I saw it, is where they said, we'll get you $2,000 stimulus checks.

01:22:00.000 If you give us money, the Young Turks will pressure people in the Democratic Party to get you stimulus checks. 0.97

01:22:07.000 Wow.

01:22:08.000 Yeah.

01:22:08.000 What?

01:22:09.000 Cenk's fundraising is really greasy and televangelist-y.

01:22:13.000 So Jimmy's been slamming him over and over again.

01:22:15.000 And again, the rhetorical advantage because the money in politics argument, according to Cenk's own logic, Jimmy's right.

01:22:22.000 So Anna Kasparian pops into Jimmy Dore's DMs.

01:22:25.000 And she runs down this thing. 0.93

01:22:27.000 She's like, I've been letting you talk like nonstop about me and TYT, and that's going to end.

01:22:33.000 I'm going to bring up this time that you like harass me or apologize.

01:22:37.000 And she named like one instance where he apologized in there, not like alludes to it.

01:22:41.000 And then she says, one time you said that you like my jeans and you wanted to buy a pair for my wife, right?

01:22:47.000 Yeah, for Jimmy's wife.

01:22:47.000 For his wife?

01:22:49.000 So Jimmy, like if you get that message, You have to come out publicly, because if Jimmy stopped talking about the Young Turks, even if it was for a week, Ana could have said, look, I messaged him this, he hasn't talked about us for a week, therefore he knows it's true, therefore he's a scumbag. 0.98

01:23:05.000 So it's a total setup. 0.85

01:23:07.000 So Jimmy comes out and tells the story.

01:23:09.000 Turns out Jimmy Dore actually told the story months earlier.

01:23:12.000 Oh, bumped the mic.

01:23:14.000 Jimmy told the story months earlier, the same exact story that he told now, without naming Ana.

01:23:20.000 So like, Anna tried to blackmail him in order to get him to stop, and Jimmy was criticizing her on policy.

01:23:25.000 Her and Cenk on policy.

01:23:27.000 And she tried to dig up this thing that he apologized for.

01:23:29.000 It was not that big of a deal.

01:23:30.000 I don't know.

01:23:31.000 You know... You could listen to the videos.

01:23:33.000 Jimmy has them all out there.

01:23:34.000 That whole stuff gets a little bit too in the weeds of, like, drama between personalities.

01:23:38.000 It shows how nasty the Young Turks are. 0.98

01:23:43.000 Jimmy apologized for it.

01:23:44.000 Ana accepted the apology.

01:23:46.000 Seven years passed by.

01:23:47.000 Jimmy has criticisms of the Young Turks as a network and their policy positions.

01:23:52.000 And then they're like, oh yeah? 0.98

01:23:54.000 Shut up or we're going to MeToo you. 1.00

01:23:56.000 Right. 0.97

01:23:56.000 So this is where I think in the greater context for those that probably, if you don't care about the Young Turks, and I imagine it's a lot of people. 0.97

01:24:03.000 No, I'm not saying no one cares about the Young Turks.

01:24:04.000 I'm saying probably people watch us or like, I don't watch them.

01:24:06.000 I do.

01:24:06.000 It's indicative of what's happening to the mainstream left messaging.

01:24:11.000 The Young Turks, big, powerful, prominent.

01:24:14.000 They were like one of the first.

01:24:16.000 They're on YouTube TV.

01:24:16.000 They have their own channel.

01:24:18.000 And I don't think they'll last long because you can't.

01:24:22.000 Look, you know, he got booted from the Justice Democrats.

01:24:24.000 You can't please this crowd.

01:24:26.000 I mean, we just did a segment about how the Black Lives Matter activists got Boston Pride shut down.

01:24:33.000 You cannot have allegiance to a group of people who will just gut you and eviscerate you at a moment's notice.

01:24:38.000 Or without even a moment's notice.

01:24:40.000 So the Young Turks are continually embracing nonsensical policy positions. 0.58

01:24:45.000 Notably, like, don't push a vote for Medicare for All.

01:24:48.000 I was 100% in favor of the force the vote.

01:24:51.000 Not that I thought it could pass, but Jimmy said, I want to know who opposes it.

01:24:56.000 Let the Democrats say to their constituents what they really believe.

01:25:00.000 And I'm like, yes!

01:25:02.000 I thought it was hilarious.

01:25:04.000 How many Democrats come out and they're like, we absolutely support Bernie and they know their actual core constituency are moderate and don't want it.

01:25:11.000 So when it comes to the vote, they're going to be like, no.

01:25:14.000 So this is where I had the, in jank Jimmy logic, it works.

01:25:18.000 This is where I had the flaw, is because it's really easy to vote yes on a bill that you know for a fact it's not going to pass anyway.

01:25:25.000 So you wouldn't have really gotten a good assessment of who's in favor, who is opposed to it.

01:25:29.000 Perfect example of this, Barack Obama votes against raising the debt ceiling as a senator.

01:25:34.000 Now when he's president and the Republicans are threatening to actually do that, He had to come out and say, look, I was grandstanding.

01:25:41.000 That's what you do.

01:25:41.000 When you know a bill is going to pass for sure, and you think you can grandstand in voting the opposite way, that's what you do for political points.

01:25:48.000 But think about the midterms when primaries happen, and they could say, here's them saying yes or no.

01:25:56.000 Make them put their money where their mouth is.

01:25:58.000 I want honesty in politics.

01:25:59.000 So if these people are like, I'm gonna lie for votes, and then when it comes to actually voting, they have to make a choice, a hard choice.

01:26:07.000 None of this wishy-washy BS.

01:26:09.000 Then when the primary and the midterms come up, there's gonna be a video over and over again of them saying yay or nay.

01:26:15.000 So I agree, force the vote.

01:26:17.000 No, I think it fits perfectly if you're in that camp, but you could also vote present, remember.

01:26:23.000 That's right.

01:26:23.000 And then what happens is, as Jimmy was stating, you get to, in the primary, say they refused to support Medicare for All, they're not progressive.

01:26:32.000 Let that be known.

01:26:33.000 Look, I don't agree with most of what these Democrats want, but I do agree the constituents have a right to know what they actually will do.

01:26:40.000 I don't want none of this, I'll just do whatever the whims and tides of the day are going to be.

01:26:45.000 This came up before, man.

01:26:46.000 It shouldn't be like, I'm going to trust this person to do what they said they're going to do.

01:26:50.000 It should be a smart contract built into their job.

01:26:52.000 They say they're going to do it when they're running, and then they're bound.

01:26:55.000 And it happens automatically whether they don't even get to choose.

01:26:58.000 There are issues with that, though.

01:26:59.000 Like, what if they get in and then get handed a classified document and they go, ooh, wow.

01:27:03.000 Too bad.

01:27:04.000 I would be fascinated.

01:27:06.000 Tell the American people they got a document.

01:27:07.000 Expose it.

01:27:09.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:27:10.000 I would be fascinated if you had them all on record.

01:27:13.000 To see what would actually happen in the primaries, because Jimmy's theory of politics is that if you vote no on Medicare for All, you're losing in the primary.

01:27:21.000 I don't think that's gonna actually pull out in the correct way.

01:27:26.000 Joe Manchin, if he voted, I know he's in the Senate, but if he voted yes on Medicare for All, he'll probably win his primary, but he's losing to the Republican.

01:27:34.000 He has triangulated his way into that Senate seat that should be a Republican Senate seat.

01:27:38.000 And he's the most popular politician in West Virginia history, by the way, as a Democrat.

01:27:43.000 Who is?

01:27:44.000 Oh, geez.

01:27:44.000 Joe Manchin.

01:27:46.000 Everybody doesn't... People don't like him, but the Democrats would not have their place in the Senate right now if not for him.

01:27:52.000 Yep.

01:27:53.000 A lot of people pointing out that Jimmy spit on Alex Jones.

01:27:55.000 Oh, yeah.

01:27:56.000 He spit on Alex Jones' face.

01:27:57.000 That's so nice.

01:27:59.000 Yeah, I'm not a fan.

01:28:01.000 But, you know, Alex got up in their space and there was a whole fight.

01:28:04.000 I was there, actually, at the DNC.

01:28:06.000 Infowars.com.

01:28:07.000 Yeah, I think that was the DNC.

01:28:09.000 Was it the DNC or was it the RNC?

01:28:10.000 It was the RNC.

01:28:11.000 It was the RNC.

01:28:12.000 I was at both.

01:28:12.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:28:13.000 I have so much love for Alex Jones because I was watching politics on YouTube when there were five political channels.

01:28:18.000 Alex Jones, the Young Turks, which is why I know so much about them, Lee Doran, if you remember him?

01:28:25.000 And a couple others that I don't want to name.

01:28:27.000 We are changed.

01:28:28.000 Luke Rudowsky.

01:28:28.000 We are changed.

01:28:29.000 Yeah, Luke, where you at?

01:28:31.000 He pops in from time to time.

01:28:33.000 Yeah, one of the original, I think Luke might be like the original political channel.

01:28:37.000 No joke.

01:28:38.000 Because he's got videos going way back.

01:28:40.000 And he was, his first video is where he was yelling at Zygmunt Brzezinski, I think it was.

01:28:44.000 You're a globalist!

01:28:45.000 He's yelling at him or whatever.

01:28:47.000 Luke's come a long way.

01:28:48.000 Still yelling about Warren 25 was pretty hardcore.

01:28:52.000 He was that Canadian dude that just screamed at George Bush.

01:28:55.000 He was a good friend of mine.

01:28:56.000 There's an issue I know Luke more for, but I can't say it on because I'm pretty sure it's a YouTube thing.

01:29:01.000 Probably.

01:29:02.000 So we'll save all that super spicy stuff for the members only bonus segment and all the election stuff, which is like some really big news.

01:29:10.000 But, you know, I don't look.

01:29:12.000 I don't care for most of the drama.

01:29:14.000 I want to say, I think a lot of the Young Turks stuff comes up simply because, you know, Cenk puts out a lot of these half-baked statements, and I don't much care for the Young Turks.

01:29:22.000 I don't care to talk about them all that often, but they are a big and powerful player in politics.

01:29:29.000 They're a litmus test, if anything, of what's happening socially to news media, because they were 2008, 2007, is that when they started?

01:29:39.000 I mean, they were on YouTube before YouTube had monetization.

01:29:46.000 Oh yeah.

01:29:46.000 So they had none of that.

01:29:46.000 Yeah.

01:29:47.000 Didn't they have their own website before even YouTube existed?

01:29:50.000 Well, so Cenk bought the domain.

01:29:52.000 I know too much about the Young Turks. 0.90

01:29:54.000 Cenk bought the domain, the Young Turk in 1996 and the Young Turks in 1997.

01:29:59.000 OK, so old school.

01:30:00.000 And I mean, he was very anti-war in Iraq, extremely outspoken about the corruption in the Bush administration.

01:30:07.000 And I learned a lot.

01:30:08.000 And I think a lot of people did because of his work.

01:30:11.000 But then you see over the decades, it's kind of like he's transitioning as society's transitioning.

01:30:16.000 And he's like, let me let me let me let me let me explain some of you guys.

01:30:20.000 I was talking to some guys from Vice and there was I don't know if I told the story on air before, because it's like, you know, you to probably mad at me, but whatever.

01:30:27.000 There was an article from Vice that said this disgusting app shows you what women look like topless. 0.99

01:30:33.000 And it's an app where if you take a picture of a woman, it uses like, you know, an algorithm or whatever to generate a topless image, simulates it.

01:30:41.000 And so I was talking to these guys from Vice a couple years ago, and they were talking about how so many people changed.

01:30:49.000 They were like, man, so many people we knew from Vice have just changed, become far right, blah, blah, blah.

01:30:53.000 And so I was like, guys, you changed.

01:30:56.000 We didn't.

01:30:57.000 I was like, I showed him the article.

01:30:59.000 It was a reason at the time or something like that.

01:31:01.000 I was like, you see this article, like this disgusting app can show you what women look like topless.

01:31:05.000 And they're like, yeah.

01:31:05.000 And I'm like, do you know what the title of that article would have been in 2011?

01:31:09.000 And they were like, oh yeah, it would have been this amazing app can show you because vice was left sort of, but they were edgy.

01:31:19.000 Oh yeah. 0.95

01:31:20.000 They were punk rock, sex drugs and rock and roll, man! 0.99

01:31:24.000 Not these stodgy suit-wearing conservatives! 0.98

01:31:27.000 We're not gonna wear those suits at CPAC!

01:31:29.000 And now Vice is moral, authoritarian, stodgy, you know, do as you're told or else.

01:31:35.000 It's called Vice.

01:31:36.000 They changed.

01:31:38.000 They changed.

01:31:39.000 So I bring that up because there's that video.

01:31:41.000 There's a composite video from the Young Turks.

01:31:45.000 And you can see the things that Cenk and Anna used to talk about, like talking directly about women's bodies.

01:31:50.000 Yeah.

01:31:50.000 Mocking them.

01:31:51.000 No censorship.

01:31:51.000 They were free.

01:31:53.000 It was funny, edgy.

01:31:54.000 It was free speech.

01:31:55.000 And now they're locked down, moral authoritarian.

01:31:59.000 That's the left.

01:31:59.000 That's the evolution of the left.

01:32:01.000 I should have watermarked those clips because when Cenk announced he was running for Congress, I went and I knew all the dirt, downloaded it, started uploading it to Twitter and everybody stole it from me.

01:32:10.000 But shout out to Steven Michael Davis for starting this whole fight between Cenk and Jimmy and Jimmy Dore.

01:32:16.000 He's the one who clipped that whole Aaron Maté thing that started this whole thing.

01:32:20.000 Check him out on Twitter and on YouTube.

01:32:22.000 Great man.

01:32:23.000 I've been entertained for months based on that one minute long clip.

01:32:27.000 You know, I'll say this right now, and then we'll read superchats. 1.00

01:32:30.000 The Democratic Party is trash. 1.00

01:32:31.000 I detest them. 1.00

01:32:32.000 The neocons, all trash. 1.00

01:32:34.000 They went and joined the Democratic Party back in 2016 because of Hillary. 1.00

01:32:38.000 The Republican Party, the remnants of the establishment Republicans, mostly trash. 0.95

01:32:42.000 But there's a decent handful of Republicans that I can respect. 0.98

01:32:45.000 I can respect the populist right for wanting to fight back. 0.99

01:32:48.000 The Libertarian Party, mostly trash as well. 1.00

01:32:51.000 Party politics is trash. 1.00

01:32:53.000 Mises Caucus, Dave Smith, now I'm starting to actually dig what's happening with the Libertarian Party. 0.99

01:32:59.000 How can we do this without parties?

01:33:01.000 I think, I don't mind party politics.

01:33:03.000 Why?

01:33:05.000 It's sort of like, the problem with certain areas is how it breaks down into a single party rule.

01:33:13.000 That's a problem.

01:33:14.000 But when you look at how the primary process works, it serves, similarly, a kind of rank choice system.

01:33:22.000 You know, so you have a bunch of different parties, the people vote for who in the, like, so you've got progressive, conservative, libertarian, and of the progressives, which one should win?

01:33:31.000 And then they choose.

01:33:32.000 Boop.

01:33:33.000 Then of the libertarians, which one should win?

01:33:34.000 Then of the republicans, the problem is it's devolved into two-party tribalism.

01:33:37.000 Right.

01:33:38.000 It's not necessarily the party issue, it's the first-past-the-post voting system.

01:33:43.000 Where it's one person, one vote.

01:33:44.000 That actually doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you actually go through the math of the system.

01:33:48.000 Because then people end up voting against instead of for because a vote against is typically more powerful than a vote for.

01:33:55.000 So you think with rank-choice voting, party politics would be less incisive?

01:33:59.000 Yes, absolutely.

01:34:01.000 But rank-choice isn't even that perfect.

01:34:03.000 There's still issues with it, but I certainly like rank-choice better than... You know, I think if we had rank-choice voting, Ron Paul would have won.

01:34:10.000 I don't know if incisive is the right word.

01:34:13.000 The problem is, everybody says, man, I'd love to vote for Ron Paul, But he's probably not going to win.

01:34:20.000 So you got to vote for McCain.

01:34:21.000 How come George Washington, when he was leaving office was like party politics is terrible.

01:34:25.000 Do not do it.

01:34:26.000 It will be the downfall of our system.

01:34:28.000 He's right about rank choice.

01:34:29.000 Cause right now, if like a better candidate, if like Biden versus Trump, right.

01:34:34.000 And then there was a third party candidate that you thought was better, but you didn't believe they could win.

01:34:38.000 Voting for them, like assuming you wanted Trump to win, like you're taking away votes for Trump would cause your worst choice to win Hillary, Biden, whatever.

01:34:48.000 The point of ranked choice is that if your candidate doesn't get above a certain threshold or is not going to win, then they default, all the voters default to their second choice.

01:34:57.000 I like that a lot.

01:34:57.000 So look, Dave Smith becomes the Libertarian presidential candidate.

01:35:02.000 And then it's Biden, Trump, Dave Smith.

01:35:04.000 I go number one, Dave Smith, number two, Trump.

01:35:07.000 Then what happens is if it turns out Dave actually can't win and he only gets 10%, my vote goes to Trump instead.

01:35:14.000 So it stops me from voting in the lesser of two evils.

01:35:17.000 It gives me the actual ability to choose.

01:35:19.000 And then what ends up happening is it gives people the confidence to vote for who they actually want.

01:35:24.000 It's not perfect.

01:35:25.000 There still are circumstances where people end up panicking and voting because of the way some of these systems are designed.

01:35:30.000 Voting against somebody, for sure.

01:35:32.000 The idea is you're more voting for who you want to win instead of voting against who you want to lose.

01:35:37.000 That's very important.

01:35:38.000 I think if we had ranked choice voting, we'd get a libertarian president.

01:35:41.000 I do.

01:35:42.000 Not that I completely agree with the libertarian.

01:35:44.000 I want to stress, I'm not saying I think Ron Paul has the best ideas in the world.

01:35:49.000 He's just a million times better than the establishment.

01:35:52.000 Because he was like, I'm not going to go to war!

01:35:54.000 And I'm like, sign me up!

01:35:56.000 Leave me alone! 1.00

01:35:56.000 He's the candidate for you, right? 1.00

01:35:59.000 Let's go to Super Chats and see what the audience has to say.

01:36:01.000 If you haven't already, give that like button a good smash. 0.74

01:36:04.000 It is greatly appreciated.

01:36:05.000 And subscribe to the channel.

01:36:07.000 Go to TimCast.com, become a member, because you're not going to want to miss tonight's bonus members-only segment, where we talk about the things YouTube would ban us for, which is unfortunate.

01:36:15.000 Now, I know a lot of people have said, some of these segments are too important to be behind a paywall.

01:36:20.000 You are completely right.

01:36:21.000 I 100% agree.

01:36:23.000 The issue right now is that the current version of the website doesn't actually have a function by which we can...

01:36:29.000 Properly upload.

01:36:32.000 We have new infrastructure coming, hopefully by Monday.

01:36:35.000 So we should be able to actually make free, like, you know, in the proper SEO, sorted, uploaded, framed, all that stuff.

01:36:44.000 And then make it free if it's really, really important, which I think this one's gonna be.

01:36:48.000 So anyway.

01:36:49.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:36:50.000 C. Hennessy says, Tim, been a fan since Vice found you, again months ago, but recently I've been getting recommended videos that are definitely hit pieces on some drama from past colleagues.

01:36:58.000 Maybe that's how YouTube attacks now.

01:37:01.000 I have past colleagues making drama?

01:37:04.000 I have no idea.

01:37:05.000 You know, I'll be honest, I completely ignore it all.

01:37:08.000 Like, there's been, apparently, I guess Ethan Klein was talking about me?

01:37:12.000 Of course.

01:37:12.000 I think it's hilarious, because I literally don't care.

01:37:14.000 You know, so we talk about the Young Turks right now, and I'm always like, oh, they might respond and say something to me.

01:37:20.000 I'm not going to engage.

01:37:21.000 I'm not saying this because I want any drama to exist.

01:37:23.000 I have my opinions.

01:37:24.000 They can have theirs about me.

01:37:25.000 I'm not going to argue with them.

01:37:26.000 I have no problem if I ever saw Cenk Uygur be like, hey, how's it going, man?

01:37:29.000 How's it been?

01:37:30.000 It's the business.

01:37:31.000 But he's the one who yelled at me, so, you know, whatever.

01:37:34.000 I'm not here for that.

01:37:35.000 I just ignore it all.

01:37:36.000 Ignore it all.

01:37:37.000 I will say, though, something we tweeted out.

01:37:40.000 We have a soft lock on a Charlie Kirk-Vosch discussion debate.

01:37:46.000 August 3rd, so if you haven't... I say soft.

01:37:50.000 They've both agreed to it.

01:37:51.000 They've both agreed to the date.

01:37:52.000 They're both cool and excited for it, and I think it'll actually be a lot of fun.

01:37:55.000 Are you moderating it?

01:37:56.000 it's going to be a shouting match, maybe a little bit, because people get heated, but

01:37:59.000 I don't think it's going to be as bad.

01:38:00.000 I don't think it's going to be crazy.

01:38:01.000 I think it's going to be really, really interesting, actually.

01:38:03.000 Are you moderating it?

01:38:04.000 Like, you're going to actively moderate?

01:38:07.000 Probably, but there's another guy I know who's a lefty that I might have as well, because

01:38:12.000 I don't want to put Vosch in a situation where he's got someone who's kind of libertarian

01:38:16.000 and someone who's conservative just arguing, like, you know...

01:38:20.000 Yeah, I disagree with Charlie on a bit.

01:38:22.000 He's conservative.

01:38:23.000 We had a fun conversation with him in Will Chamberlain where I'm like, here's my position.

01:38:26.000 They're like, that's libertarian.

01:38:27.000 We're conservatives.

01:38:28.000 But Charlie and I will probably agree on more than we would with Vaush.

01:38:31.000 So I got another guy who is a lefty who agrees more with Vosh than he would with either of us.

01:38:35.000 So I'm hoping it would actually just be a big discussion.

01:38:38.000 I can pull up sources and say, hey, that's not true.

01:38:40.000 That's not true.

01:38:41.000 But we'll figure it out.

01:38:42.000 Four people might be too cluttered and I might just keep quiet.

01:38:46.000 I might just not actually engage and let them talk and then actually just Google what he says and then Google what, you know.

01:38:52.000 I would get them to agree to a time because they're both... I've debated Bosch.

01:38:55.000 He likes to suck up all the time, and I met Charlie Kirk and I've seen him speak.

01:38:59.000 He loves speaking in those 45-second, I'm-running-for-Senate clips, so you gotta, like, at least establish some kind of, like, you have two minutes, you have two minutes. 0.88

01:39:07.000 That's my advice.

01:39:08.000 We'll mute the mic, and then Charlie will get over.

01:39:10.000 Excuse me!

01:39:11.000 Pass the gorilla. 1.00

01:39:12.000 If you have the gorilla, you can speak.

01:39:13.000 No, I don't know.

01:39:14.000 We'll just...

01:39:15.000 Those guys are chill, man.

01:39:16.000 I love those dudes.

01:39:17.000 They're easy to talk to.

01:39:18.000 We had a four hour conversation with Bosh.

01:39:20.000 We had a great two and a half hour conversation with Charlie.

01:39:22.000 It was awesome.

01:39:23.000 What you gotta watch out for, and everybody does, and I will not accept, is when people do four or five points in one go.

01:39:31.000 You make a point, you gotta stop, because we have to fact-check it.

01:39:34.000 You can't just keep saying things, and it's really annoying when someone will start saying something.

01:39:38.000 They'll be like, you know that 2 plus 2 equals 4, and that 3 plus 3 equals 6, and then 4 plus 4... Hold on, hold on!

01:39:44.000 We gotta go back to 2 plus 2, bro!

01:39:46.000 You can't just gloss over and say all of these things and bring us to a different point of the conversation.

01:39:50.000 But a lot of people go, you're interrupting me!

01:39:51.000 You're interrupting...

01:39:53.000 Can one of the debate topics be that Charlie Kirk is way taller than you imagine?

01:39:57.000 He's way taller than me!

01:39:57.000 He's huge!

01:39:59.000 He's like 8 foot 50?

01:40:00.000 That's true.

01:40:01.000 What is he like 6'3 or 6'4?

01:40:03.000 When I met him, I shook his hand.

01:40:04.000 I didn't know who I was meeting.

01:40:05.000 I looked up.

01:40:05.000 I'm like, oh my god, you're Charlie Kirk.

01:40:07.000 You looked up!

01:40:09.000 I mean, I looked down because I'm 6'7.

01:40:11.000 That's right, yeah, 6'7.

01:40:12.000 That's true.

01:40:13.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:40:16.000 Kevin Burns says federal government should back off the states.

01:40:19.000 Tenth Amendment needs to be respected. 0.73

01:40:22.000 True that.

01:40:22.000 Absolutely.

01:40:24.000 All right.

01:40:25.000 Dark Hood Order of Grace says, first time super chatting.

01:40:28.000 Just wanted to say I'm glad to now be a part of the team as a Timcast membership.

01:40:32.000 Thank you all so much for being members.

01:40:33.000 Oh, yeah.

01:40:34.000 We have, I think, around 21 employees or so.

01:40:37.000 Yeah, the vibe is good.

01:40:39.000 It's getting crazy.

01:40:39.000 All of it.

01:40:40.000 You know, the weirdest thing is we're at the point where stuff is happening I don't know about.

01:40:43.000 Right.

01:40:44.000 You know, I don't know.

01:40:45.000 I walked to the house and I'm like, oh, I was like, oh, like I should introduce myself.

01:40:48.000 Something happened.

01:40:49.000 I kind of wasn't for days.

01:40:50.000 And I was like, I really should be more personable.

01:40:52.000 Things are happening that I didn't know were happening.

01:40:54.000 It's like, oh man.

01:40:55.000 It's all these people I don't know.

01:40:57.000 Yeah, there's so many people now, like stuff happens.

01:40:59.000 Like I see an article pop up on the website and I'm like, hello.

01:41:03.000 So it's going to be fantastic.

01:41:05.000 Oh yeah.

01:41:06.000 All right.

01:41:07.000 Let's see what we got here.

01:41:09.000 JustSomeMincedGarlic says, three of my coworkers and I quit when they tried to force critical race courses as part of training.

01:41:15.000 Now work for a suppressor company.

01:41:17.000 Best change ever.

01:41:18.000 That sounds pretty awesome.

01:41:19.000 That's cool.

01:41:20.000 Let me just stress to all of you right now.

01:41:24.000 I went to the diner, and they have a sign on the door, we're struggling to staff.

01:41:28.000 I walked inside, a whole section of the building was, you can't sit here, understaffed.

01:41:33.000 So they only had one little dining area.

01:41:35.000 They close at 5pm.

01:41:37.000 If you work for a company, and they're like, we're gonna get woke, and you look your manager in the eye and say, I will quit on the spot, they'll say, please, please, please don't, we can't hire anybody, nobody wants to work.

01:41:48.000 You have all the leverage right now as an employee.

01:41:50.000 These companies are desperate.

01:41:51.000 Dude, I saw a Wendy's and a big banner said, open interviews anytime.

01:41:58.000 Like, I could walk in right now.

01:42:00.000 I'd like an interview.

01:42:00.000 Please come here.

01:42:02.000 There are signs on McDonald's and other fast food restaurants.

01:42:04.000 $1,000 bonus.

01:42:05.000 Now, I know a lot of people are saying, I don't work for a fast food restaurant.

01:42:07.000 Dude, nobody.

01:42:09.000 Like, people are struggling to hire.

01:42:10.000 I'll tell you this.

01:42:11.000 Why is it that we're hiring?

01:42:14.000 It's a high profile show with a decent amount of resumes and people want to work and we do passion projects.

01:42:19.000 So maybe you work at a company that's not the same as, you know, like a cracker factory or a paper mill or something.

01:42:26.000 But I genuinely believe right now you will have a substantial amount of leverage if they try introducing, you know, racist trainings like they're doing with the critical race applied principles and you just say, I'll quit, you know?

01:42:39.000 And then what happens when you file for unemployment?

01:42:42.000 It's because my boss was racist.

01:42:44.000 It's the biggest labor crunch in recent history.

01:42:47.000 You gotta go for it.

01:42:49.000 McDonald's giving away iPhones, too.

01:42:50.000 I know, I saw that.

01:42:51.000 It's crazy.

01:42:52.000 And some of those high-profile jobs, because people have moved away, and they're like, if I don't work from home, I'm not coming back.

01:42:57.000 If you're just willing to go into the office, you can get a huge pay increase.

01:43:00.000 Yeah?

01:43:00.000 Yeah, wow.

01:43:01.000 Alright, OCDWolfman says, so last week you had been discussing storage of meat like chicken.

01:43:06.000 You can typically store chicken vacuum-sealed and frozen for up to two years.

01:43:10.000 Wow.

01:43:11.000 I watched a video where they were water glassing eggs.

01:43:13.000 You know what that is?

01:43:14.000 It's like a mixture of lime and water.

01:43:17.000 And you take the egg right from the coop, right from the chicken's butt, and you just, you put it in.

01:43:21.000 I'm probably getting this wrong.

01:43:22.000 I'm not, but there's something, there's something on the egg called the bloom, which is like, it seals the egg.

01:43:28.000 So you can put it right in that lime mixture and leave it for like up to two years or something like that.

01:43:32.000 Refrigerated or?

01:43:33.000 No, no, no.

01:43:33.000 Just in the bucket.

01:43:34.000 I got to ask, is this how they treat them in Europe?

01:43:36.000 Because I know that they do not refrigerate eggs in Europe.

01:43:38.000 You don't have to if you don't wash them.

01:43:40.000 So because in the U.S.

01:43:40.000 Yeah.

01:43:42.000 they have to be washed.

01:43:43.000 They become porous and then things go bad.

01:43:43.000 Right.

01:43:46.000 Yeah.

01:43:47.000 Yep.

01:43:48.000 Track Media Only says, peaceful divorce requires both sides wanting peaceful and the left wants your stuff. 0.94

01:43:48.000 All right. 0.94

01:43:53.000 Or do you think China and Russia are peaceful when they want something?

01:43:57.000 But that also implies that there's going to be easily dividable state factions, which I don't think there will be.

01:44:01.000 Because blue cities don't agree with the rest of their red states, so what's more likely to happen is a fracture of confidence and a general dissolution.

01:44:09.000 I don't think it's gonna be... Like, you might get the Enclave.

01:44:13.000 Like, you play Fallout 3, right?

01:44:15.000 No, I don't play Game Station.

01:44:16.000 Wow, what are you talking about?

01:44:18.000 Fallout.

01:44:18.000 I don't know any video games.

01:44:18.000 What?

01:44:20.000 That's what you play it on, right?

01:44:21.000 A game station?

01:44:22.000 Fallout 3?

01:44:23.000 No, I don't play games.

01:44:24.000 PC?

01:44:25.000 Computer?

01:44:26.000 Xbox?

01:44:27.000 PlayStation?

01:44:27.000 You play Fallout 3.

01:44:29.000 The last game I played was Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars.

01:44:33.000 Good game, dude!

01:44:34.000 Fallout 3, there's this very powerful faction called the Enclave.

01:44:34.000 Fantastic.

01:44:37.000 It's remnants of the government.

01:44:39.000 So there might be a very... You might see, like, you know, capital police, like, guarding a building, and you're like, oh, look, those guys are still around, huh?

01:44:47.000 But who knows?

01:44:48.000 We'll see how that plays out.

01:44:48.000 MIT says by 2040.

01:44:52.000 Thundercat says, the TimCast crew with Actual Justice Warrior.

01:44:54.000 Awesome.

01:44:55.000 Guys, help me convince my wife to buy a gorilla shirt. 1.00

01:44:58.000 We also have the Don't Snake Me Bro shirt, which is a skateboarding or, you know, it's a skate park reference.

01:45:04.000 Snaking someone is when you cut in front of them, when it's their turn to hit a ramp or a rail or an obstacle.

01:45:10.000 Cut line.

01:45:11.000 Yeah, you're cutting in line.

01:45:12.000 So it's the Gadsden snake with a beanie on a skateboard.

01:45:15.000 It says, Don't Snake Me Bro.

01:45:16.000 Tim's beard, it's great.

01:45:17.000 All the skateboarders were like, yeah!

01:45:19.000 They were super excited to wear the Gadsden Don't Snake Me brochure.

01:45:24.000 James Alford says, I looked at the map.

01:45:27.000 I don't like being with Colorado.

01:45:28.000 If this happens, we need to separate into two north and south or east and west and give people that want freedom the time to move to the split they want.

01:45:36.000 And the same with the commies.

01:45:38.000 I've been telling you, man, you got to go somewhere else.

01:45:41.000 Get away from the cities, move to the state you want to be in.

01:45:44.000 People don't realize, like, Oregon, for instance, these counties want to secede.

01:45:47.000 They voted to secede.

01:45:48.000 If the Pacific Northwest actually ever did break out, you're a serf.

01:45:52.000 And then you're trapped.

01:45:54.000 So, go somewhere with like-minded people.

01:45:56.000 They might be the only people, and they still wouldn't be able to do it, that could leave without triggering a war.

01:46:01.000 Because if you think about it, if, like, Louisiana were to secede, That's the port of New Orleans.

01:46:07.000 That's the end of the Mississippi River.

01:46:09.000 You can't give that up to another country.

01:46:12.000 You're going to end up going into war over that.

01:46:14.000 No coastal territory.

01:46:15.000 No breadbasket state.

01:46:17.000 Maybe a mountainous... No state.

01:46:19.000 I mean, you want a port, dude.

01:46:21.000 Every port.

01:46:22.000 The feds are not going to give up a port.

01:46:24.000 The reason Andrew Jackson is president is because New Orleans was the strategically most important city when he won the Battle of New Orleans.

01:46:31.000 Because everything had to go out through the Mississippi River.

01:46:34.000 Texas is probably one of the best bets, but I'm worried a bunch of the California people are moving there and we'll see what actually happens in Texas.

01:46:40.000 But they have the Gulf.

01:46:42.000 The California people make Texas more red.

01:46:45.000 If the election were held with just native Texans, Bader O'Rourke would be the senator of Texas.

01:46:50.000 Yeah, but are those people from California?

01:46:52.000 Or is that like the conservatives from all over the country who are moving in?

01:46:56.000 But largely, except for Austin, which is a lefty-like enclave, the people moving from California are the Republicans that are moving it.

01:47:03.000 They're keeping it red.

01:47:04.000 Good, I hope so.

01:47:05.000 Alex on Earth says, secession is a surefire way to get a job cleaning CCP toilets. 0.98

01:47:10.000 I agree.

01:47:11.000 That's why it worries me.

01:47:13.000 Alright, Makeshift Electric says, hey Tim, recently heard you say in passing you wanted someone to make music for you.

01:47:17.000 On a whim, I sent some of my stuff to the pitch's email.

01:47:20.000 Didn't know where else to send.

01:47:21.000 You played a big role in waking me up, so thank you all.

01:47:23.000 Hey, appreciate it.

01:47:24.000 Yes, we're looking for a composer.

01:47:26.000 Quite literally, we need to hire someone who will sit in a room making different music all day.

01:47:29.000 That's it.

01:47:30.000 Probably a lot of, I'm talking like, Easily, like a lot of electronic production stuff, and then instrumentation, whatever you can do, but if there was somebody who knew how to just do electronic, I'd be like, make the music, because we can use it for everything we do.

01:47:44.000 I would love for that person to also, if you could set up microphones all over the place, you know, you understand sound, booms, dampening, what equipment we need, what pieces, all that stuff, like the total package, bring it.

01:47:57.000 Definitely.

01:47:57.000 Tyler Richie says, Hey Tim, what do you think of Elon shouting out Dogecoins?

01:48:01.000 Is this market manipulation?

01:48:03.000 This week he shouted out Daddy Doge to Mars after his trial.

01:48:05.000 I do think it is, but crypto is not regulated.

01:48:09.000 Isn't his kid mining Doge?

01:48:11.000 Oh, Elon says?

01:48:12.000 Yeah, I don't know. 1.00

01:48:13.000 I think everybody plays this stupid game. 0.97

01:48:15.000 A lot of people will super chat like, this is the crypto to buy, and I'm like, I know they're saying that because they want... Is word of mouth, when you're famous, market manipulation? 1.00

01:48:25.000 I think... Well, yes.

01:48:27.000 When you have a vested interest in the production of a product, and you own a ton of it, and then you start tweeting out, hey, hey, yeah, check it out.

01:48:34.000 You're sketchy in the legal territory, whether it's technically actually market manipulation.

01:48:38.000 Well, it's not.

01:48:39.000 It's legally not.

01:48:40.000 There's no laws.

01:48:40.000 I'm just saying we know why he's doing it.

01:48:42.000 Like, it is manipulating the market, but it's not legally manipulating the market.

01:48:48.000 However that works.

01:48:49.000 Brown Bear says, if we have a peaceful divorce, who gets custody of the nukes?

01:48:53.000 The region where the nukes are.

01:48:55.000 The command stations for where they are.

01:48:57.000 That's it.

01:48:59.000 We need a technological solution here.

01:49:02.000 I'm just... I'm falling flat right now.

01:49:04.000 But it's not an easy solution, or someone would have figured it out already.

01:49:09.000 BrownBear says, rock and stone to the bone!

01:49:11.000 Hey! 0.99

01:49:12.000 Dude, are you talking about Deep Rock Galactic?

01:49:15.000 It's a game for the PC.

01:49:16.000 Blackstone.

01:49:17.000 It's a great game, by the way.

01:49:19.000 Oregon Trail?

01:49:20.000 Oregon Trail, yeah.

01:49:20.000 Good game!

01:49:21.000 My daughter died of cholera.

01:49:22.000 It was sad.

01:49:23.000 Yeah, I died of dysentery.

01:49:25.000 Twimmy says, love your work guys, keep it up!

01:49:27.000 Go where your heart is, man.

01:49:28.000 I'm a fairly pessimistic Canadian who's sick of living in liberal land and considering immigrating to the states

01:49:34.000 But I don't know Jack about the process South Dakota seems mint any advice

01:49:38.000 Go where your heart is man. I don't have any advice cuz I don't know how the process works either

01:49:42.000 Well get a job with an American corporation I do know that Biden basically just lets everybody through the southern border.

01:49:49.000 Yeah.

01:49:50.000 You could definitely come visit, I think.

01:49:52.000 Apparently that still works.

01:49:53.000 Yeah.

01:49:53.000 For a while.

01:49:54.000 I don't know.

01:49:54.000 Do we have policies related to the virus for incoming travelers still?

01:50:00.000 I don't know.

01:50:01.000 I think so, yeah.

01:50:02.000 I think the borders are still restricted.

01:50:04.000 Staunch Unionist says, Tim, do you think the establishment wants to balkanize the U.S., or do you think the Dems just want a civil war because they think they can win and take all the power?

01:50:13.000 Personally, I can't stand the idea of a peaceful divorce.

01:50:16.000 That's what Jack Posobiec was saying.

01:50:17.000 That the Democrats have the solution, but they need a problem.

01:50:20.000 They need some kind of catalyst so that they can then crack down and just become the CCP.

01:50:27.000 He made a really great point that when these politicians went over to China and saw how they can snap their fingers and create a financial district and just create an amusement park and then boom, there's Disney World, they were like, how do we do that?

01:50:39.000 Well, you've got to be authoritarian.

01:50:41.000 How do you do that?

01:50:42.000 You've got to get rid of the Constitution.

01:50:44.000 How do you do that?

01:50:45.000 You need a civil war. 0.69

01:50:47.000 Politicians always have more solutions than there are problems, and those solutions tend to create more problems.

01:50:56.000 I wouldn't be surprised if they have a lot of ideas they want to implement that they're waiting for something.

01:51:00.000 Remember, COVID is an opportunity to remake the country.

01:51:03.000 Yeah.

01:51:04.000 Splinter191 says, you asked what a ward room is.

01:51:07.000 It refers to the officers of a ship.

01:51:08.000 It's also where they eat their meals on fancy dishes and silverware.

01:51:11.000 Navy, nuke, sub, vet, right on.

01:51:13.000 Very cool.

01:51:15.000 Oh, okay.

01:51:16.000 Tarzan Jungle Kung Fu says that white stripe is actually for the Seven Nation Army.

01:51:20.000 That's what I was thinking.

01:51:21.000 Yeah.

01:51:23.000 It's Jack Black.

01:51:23.000 Yep.

01:51:24.000 So this is Spencer.

01:51:26.000 Spencer Rangel says, Tim, the white in the flag does not represent whites.

01:51:29.000 The combination of blue, pink, and white is representing the trans flag.

01:51:33.000 Yes, but it's not the trans flag.

01:51:36.000 So there's a white stripe on the LGBT flag.

01:51:39.000 The pink and the blue, I understand, but the black and brown, there's no like black and brown flag.

01:51:44.000 You know what I mean?

01:51:46.000 That's kind of weird, though.

01:51:47.000 The black flag is the anarchist flag.

01:51:48.000 Yeah.

01:51:50.000 They got their fist one, right?

01:51:52.000 What is black and orange?

01:51:54.000 Is that just like an anarcho-centrist?

01:51:57.000 What's Black Hammer's flag look like?

01:51:59.000 I don't know.

01:52:00.000 That organization, have you ever heard of it?

01:52:01.000 No idea.

01:52:02.000 It's Gazi Kodo's organization. 0.99

01:52:04.000 Jeez.

01:52:06.000 All right, let's see. 0.93

01:52:08.000 Caliber Neutral says, I've looked on the old site, but will Ian's nude model calendar where he makes graphene sex again be on the new site?

01:52:15.000 Yeah, we actually shot some footage today, Andreas and I. Was it nude?

01:52:19.000 Finished up the year.

01:52:20.000 Was it nude?

01:52:21.000 No, the calendar will be on my website if I end up going nude.

01:52:24.000 I was thinking about doing nude yoga.

01:52:27.000 Maybe we could put that on TimCast.com.

01:52:28.000 Nude hot yoga.

01:52:29.000 TimCast.com.

01:52:30.000 This company is going.

01:52:31.000 Thank you, Ian.

01:52:33.000 BlackRockBeacon says Biden is more like Nero trying to cross the Rubicon.

01:52:38.000 Nero was a kid that was like inbred or something, right? 0.98

01:52:41.000 Emperor Nero.

01:52:42.000 And he went psychotic and like had all this hate and rage, but he was an emperor. 0.80

01:52:46.000 So at age 12, he would like have all these orgies.

01:52:49.000 He had these huge boats built that he would, uh... 0.96

01:52:52.000 No, I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of, uh, what's the sex kid? 0.99

01:52:56.000 The Roman sex emperor. 0.97

01:52:58.000 I'm thinking of Caligula. 0.95

01:52:59.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:53:00.000 Nero was the one who played the fiddle while Rome burned.

01:53:02.000 They think that maybe he actually lit Rome on fire.

01:53:05.000 Cool.

01:53:06.000 And like false flagged it.

01:53:08.000 Relentless Hemi says, just subscribe to TimCast.com.

01:53:12.000 You're legit, Relentless.

01:53:13.000 Thank you so much.

01:53:16.000 All right.

01:53:16.000 Welcome.

01:53:20.000 Oh no, is that the radicalization that Biden's been talking about?

01:53:31.000 Yeah, I guess so.

01:53:33.000 It's funny because like, I could actually, you know, have a good conversation about left libertarian policies.

01:53:40.000 The problem, the reason why I would rather have Ron Paul As like a more right Libertarian is because under a right Libertarian system, you're allowed to have your left Libertarian system.

01:53:49.000 And so I'm kind of like, you know, leave me alone and let me do my thing.

01:53:52.000 And if me and my, you know, homies can have a farm where we like grow our own food and I'll share it and everything and do our little left Libertarian hippie stuff, I'm alright.

01:53:59.000 I'm cool.

01:54:00.000 So, you know, that's what I'm all about.

01:54:03.000 The problem is when they try to scale it up, the only way to scale up left libertarianism is to become authoritarian.

01:54:10.000 There's literally no big scale left libertarianism.

01:54:13.000 Or if you become Christian.

01:54:15.000 Have you ever, have you seen the studies of the communes that the Christian ones outlast way more than the Marxist ones?

01:54:21.000 They ask for like a collective sacrifice and there's a religious basis for it.

01:54:26.000 Marxist communes are like the one that Bernie Sanders was in where they're like, dude, you're not working.

01:54:30.000 They kicked him out for not working.

01:54:30.000 Get out.

01:54:32.000 They kicked him out for being too lazy to be in the comedy room.

01:54:34.000 I love that story.

01:54:35.000 It's my favorite story.

01:54:36.000 It's amazing.

01:54:38.000 All right, Travis Condict says, first ever Super Chat.

01:54:41.000 I just want to invite everyone to come together and have a good time every Saturday for the Million Doge Disco Decentralized Dance Party.

01:54:48.000 100% about fun and love.

01:54:50.000 Bliss says, hey Tim, two things.

01:54:50.000 Excellent.

01:54:52.000 One, could you point me to where I could apply for a job on your site?

01:54:55.000 20-year-old mill worker, but I really don't fear repercussions from the left.

01:54:59.000 Two, you ever try Pop Corners?

01:55:01.000 What is that?

01:55:02.000 I don't know.

01:55:04.000 Jobs at TimCast.com.

01:55:06.000 And man, I think probably by next year we might have like 50 to even 100 employees.

01:55:10.000 Yeah, we already need like more space.

01:55:12.000 Yeah.

01:55:13.000 But we are growing really, really quickly.

01:55:14.000 The news that's going to launch and then it's going to go real fast and it's going to slow down a bit because it's a big investment.

01:55:21.000 So that basically means like the people we're hiring, there's no guarantee it actually becomes sustainable.

01:55:27.000 But some things are worth doing regardless of whether or not they have direct monetary returns, like basically the vlog, for instance, we do.

01:55:34.000 Definitely not profitable right now, but it could be.

01:55:37.000 More importantly, it's excellent marketing value for the company and it's excellent culture building.

01:55:42.000 So there's real value to that.

01:55:42.000 Yeah.

01:55:44.000 I'm sure you got like a legal team, but you need to look into where that employee cutoff is in this state.

01:55:49.000 Oh yeah, I know.

01:55:51.000 51 employees is usually what it is.

01:55:53.000 This is the thing people need to realize about why companies eventually take on that $20 million.

01:55:56.000 Because Cenk probably hit a point where he crossed the threshold and then immediately got slammed by massive regulation.

01:56:04.000 And then in order to become compliant, didn't have the money to do it because you crossed that threshold and all of a sudden your business is now in a different territory.

01:56:11.000 Going from 51 to 52 employees is like going from 25 to 51.

01:56:16.000 That's how much more expensive when all those regulations kick in.

01:56:19.000 Yep.

01:56:20.000 Yeah, there's a whole bunch of really crazy regulations that happen once you cross.

01:56:23.000 In most places, I think it's 50 employees.

01:56:25.000 Once you get to 50, all of a sudden, everything lights up.

01:56:28.000 And then... Man.

01:56:30.000 That's the biggest bummer.

01:56:31.000 So I'm wondering if what makes more sense is to actually...

01:56:35.000 somewhat compartmentalize and keep companies focused.

01:56:37.000 Like if we're going to do something like we're developing a video game,

01:56:41.000 that should probably be spun off into its own company, because there's no point in

01:56:46.000 cluttering up a system with something that's more peripheral to what everyone

01:56:49.000 But, you know.

01:56:49.000 else is doing.

01:56:51.000 Yeah.

01:56:52.000 All right.

01:56:53.000 Good luck on your expansion.

01:56:55.000 Also, I would say we should utilize contractors.

01:56:56.000 I don't know what you feel ethically about that.

01:56:59.000 Yeah, of course we do.

01:57:00.000 They're not considered employees though, right?

01:57:01.000 Right.

01:57:02.000 So you could have a million of them?

01:57:03.000 No, no, no.

01:57:04.000 I mean, there's limits, but the idea is a contractor would be someone who submits an article and then we're like, hey, it's cool.

01:57:08.000 We'll bite off you. 0.99

01:57:10.000 You know.

01:57:11.000 You can't have permalancers, where you contract someone and have them work every day, basically.

01:57:15.000 Can you not?

01:57:16.000 You cannot.

01:57:17.000 YouTube, that's what we are on.

01:57:19.000 According to YouTube, we're freelancers.

01:57:22.000 No, they say they're royalty payments.

01:57:24.000 Oh.

01:57:24.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:57:25.000 Probably, that's the reason.

01:57:26.000 Joshua Vote says, Hello from NJ.

01:57:29.000 Instead of Balkanization, how would y'all feel about a mass cleansing of federal government? 0.76

01:57:33.000 By that I mean anyone who has been in for more than 15 years in politics are gone.

01:57:36.000 Also, how do y'all feel about term limits for all politicians?

01:57:40.000 I'm not.

01:57:41.000 I don't know enough about term limits.

01:57:42.000 We've had really good arguments on the show about why they're good and why they're bad.

01:57:45.000 I think they're great.

01:57:46.000 And people say, if somebody wants to vote for someone, let them vote for them.

01:57:50.000 And it doesn't matter if they're a career politician or not, they're going to be supported by the machine all the same.

01:57:55.000 So they'll just find more people.

01:57:57.000 So I don't know.

01:57:58.000 How about this theory that I heard today, actually?

01:58:01.000 Should we pay politicians in the House and the Senate $10 million a year?

01:58:05.000 Andrew Yang was talking about that.

01:58:07.000 He said that if they're paid a ton of money, then they're going to be very loyal to that system that makes them rich and not to.

01:58:14.000 But that still makes no sense.

01:58:16.000 Well, it's it's actually because they manage trillions of dollars of money and they're making less money that they can make on any like reasonably high Wall Street job.

01:58:16.000 So the answer is no.

01:58:26.000 So should we pay them enough to attract people who are talented from those fields to run for office?

01:58:33.000 I would create a bonus structure.

01:58:34.000 Yeah, if they can reduce the deficit, they'll get a percentage as their salary for the year.

01:58:39.000 Otherwise, their salary is $1.

01:58:40.000 If the economy improves, they get the raise based on it.

01:58:45.000 I like the idea of politicians getting paid what the middle class median is.

01:58:50.000 Then their incentive is to make sure the middle class median is very, very high.

01:58:52.000 There you go.

01:58:54.000 That'll work.

01:58:55.000 But we don't want Congress controlling what the median income is.

01:58:58.000 We don't want them setting wages. 0.97

01:59:00.000 Sean B says, Tim, it's not lime.

01:59:02.000 It's a liquid silicate product.

01:59:04.000 Literally liquid glass.

01:59:05.000 Been used for many years as a concrete sealant.

01:59:07.000 Oh, interesting.

01:59:09.000 JM says, you should try to get Patrick Moore on.

01:59:09.000 There you go.

01:59:12.000 He helped founded Greenpeace and he's pretty cool.

01:59:14.000 We have reached out to him in the past.

01:59:15.000 I think COVID really jammed everything up, but we'll definitely reach out to him.

01:59:18.000 He is really awesome.

01:59:19.000 I'm a fan.

01:59:20.000 He's very pro nuclear energy and has been.

01:59:22.000 And he, I looked into him after I worked at Greenpeace and I was wondering why they weren't looking into nuclear and why they opposed it so much.

01:59:28.000 And then I read about the history and I was like, Oh, look at that.

01:59:30.000 Hmm.

01:59:32.000 All right.

01:59:33.000 We had a YouTube did the famous super chat jump.

01:59:33.000 Let's see.

01:59:37.000 Super jump.

01:59:38.000 So, uh, all right.

01:59:40.000 Frankie Sherat says, Tim, how can our company sponsor you?

01:59:44.000 There should be an email listed in the about section of this YouTube channel, I guess, because we have a, we have a manager who does the ads for us.

01:59:49.000 Um, should be there, I guess.

01:59:53.000 All right.

01:59:53.000 Let's see where we're at.

01:59:55.000 John Hemelman says, I'm from a small town in Minnesota.

01:59:59.000 The people here are mostly too Minnesota nice to express or even hold strong political opinions.

02:00:03.000 Not watching the news is considered a virtue.

02:00:05.000 It's very frustrating.

02:00:07.000 Also, Reagan's 1984 opponent was from Minnesota.

02:00:10.000 Ah, so that's why Mondale won Minnesota.

02:00:13.000 And I believe it was one point Reagan lost by.

02:00:16.000 Wow.

02:00:18.000 Crazy.

02:00:18.000 And then what was the other 49 state landslide?

02:00:20.000 That was, um... Nixon 2, maybe?

02:00:23.000 Was it Nixon 2?

02:00:24.000 Which is weird because that's the one where he broke into the thing.

02:00:26.000 Oh yeah.

02:00:27.000 Oh wow.

02:00:27.000 That thing.

02:00:29.000 We'll just get a couple more Super Chats here.

02:00:29.000 All right, let's see.

02:00:32.000 I love you guys, by the way.

02:00:33.000 Super Chats. 0.91

02:00:34.000 Mayor Mercules says, I just sent you an email to info at TimCast.com about the musical composer audio engineer job.

02:00:40.000 Let me know if you would like samples of my work.

02:00:42.000 Please send samples to jobs at TimCast.com.

02:00:45.000 And absolutely.

02:00:46.000 So we would really just, I knew one guy who would literally sit around all day and just make electronic music of like different kind of genres, but just on his computer.

02:00:54.000 And he had like thousands of them.

02:00:56.000 I'm like, that's what we need.

02:00:58.000 Cause we need to be able to be like, hey, can you make a song like this?

02:01:01.000 Like we need it for the show.

02:01:02.000 We need it for this show.

02:01:02.000 We need it for that show.

02:01:04.000 Uh, or we want to actually make the music and make, release it as a song or something like that.

02:01:08.000 Make some music.

02:01:09.000 Plus I got a million and one songs that need to be recorded and produced and released as well.

02:01:13.000 So we want an in-house music producer.

02:01:14.000 We also have a pretty sweet drum kit, but what we don't have is a drummer.

02:01:18.000 So hope you play the drums.

02:01:20.000 Bring the noise.

02:01:22.000 You know, I think people can play drums.

02:01:23.000 Actually, Tim's a drummer.

02:01:25.000 Yeah, I've been playing drums since I was like seven.

02:01:29.000 I want a medal.

02:01:31.000 I want a gold medal.

02:01:32.000 Get a drum off.

02:01:33.000 Did J.K.

02:01:34.000 Simmons yell at you while you were learning to play?

02:01:36.000 No.

02:01:37.000 Nope.

02:01:39.000 But the best part was I got to leave class to go to drumming practice.

02:01:43.000 That's beautiful.

02:01:43.000 So I'd be sitting to look at the clock and I was in like fourth grade.

02:01:46.000 And then it would like hit, it was like some obscure number like 10, 10 a.m.

02:01:49.000 So like everyone's in class and all of a sudden I'm just like, I get up and I walk over and I grab my snare drum and I just leave.

02:01:58.000 Let's do it.

02:01:58.000 I'm down, man.

02:02:00.000 It's still hot.

02:02:00.000 says you guys need to canoe the Shenandoah steps at Harper's Ferry and go tubing on the Shenandoah some weekend.

02:02:06.000 Andreas bought a bunch of these giant rubber duckies.

02:02:09.000 To go.

02:02:09.000 Yeah.

02:02:10.000 I'm down.

02:02:11.000 Man, let's do it.

02:02:13.000 Rubber ducky tubes.

02:02:14.000 It's still hot.

02:02:14.000 Yeah.

02:02:15.000 Yeah.

02:02:16.000 Could be good vlog content.

02:02:17.000 Oh, I will say though, as an aside, you mentioned the heat, Ian.

02:02:21.000 So, uh, this morning when I was going to get eggs for my breakfast, I noticed something.

02:02:21.000 Yeah.

02:02:25.000 Do tell.

02:02:26.000 One of the eggs was fertilized.

02:02:28.000 Oh, that chicken.

02:02:30.000 The rooster been busy.

02:02:31.000 Yeah.

02:02:31.000 Robbie Bobby.

02:02:33.000 And now it's it's at 90 degrees.

02:02:34.000 It's 94 degrees outside for the next like a couple of weeks.

02:02:38.000 We're going to let him have some babies.

02:02:39.000 He getting busy.

02:02:41.000 So what do you do?

02:02:41.000 He is.

02:02:42.000 You crack it open.

02:02:42.000 And there was like there's something called like a germination disc or something.

02:02:45.000 You can see it.

02:02:47.000 I'm going to leave those eggs.

02:02:47.000 So I'm just going to leave.

02:02:49.000 How do you know which ones are?

02:02:51.000 Because we have two chickens that are laying and I cracked them both open and I saw the one that was fertilized.

02:02:56.000 So we'll just let the babies happen.

02:02:58.000 Does that make you an uncle or a grandfather?

02:03:00.000 How does that work in the chain of command?

02:03:01.000 Godfather.

02:03:02.000 When you own a creature and it has kids, what do you call it?

02:03:05.000 I don't know.

02:03:07.000 I have dominion over them.

02:03:08.000 Yeah, you do.

02:03:09.000 Pick your title.

02:03:10.000 Go with God King of North Korea. 0.99

02:03:11.000 Yeah, I like that.

02:03:13.000 That's good.

02:03:14.000 So what's the black and white one?

02:03:17.000 The Bard Rock?

02:03:18.000 Yeah, Plymouth Bard Rock.

02:03:19.000 Plymouth Bard Rock and Rhode Island Red are gonna have babies and they're gonna look funky. 0.94

02:03:23.000 I'm so happy for him.

02:03:26.000 Living the dream, man.

02:03:28.000 Living the dream.

02:03:28.000 And we're gonna give them a big Chicken City that's being built out in the next couple of weeks.

02:03:33.000 So a lot of people are like, where's Chicken City?

02:03:35.000 We're trying to do the website.

02:03:37.000 We're focusing everything on getting this website done as fast as possible and then we're gonna have the Chicken City channel.

02:03:41.000 I spent some time with Chickens today.
