Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - People Call For Trump To Win Nobel Peace Prize After Historic Middle East Peace Deal

00:00:00.000 Thanks for watching.

00:00:23.000 You know, normally when I do my early segments on my main channels, I have, you know, a bunch of stories lined up, and I sit there going through them, fact-checking, and I'm thinking, You know, what story is going to be the main story?

00:00:35.000 Like, what am I going to choose?

00:00:36.000 And then I'm sitting here and all of a sudden they're like, boom, Donald Trump, peace.

00:00:39.000 Like, we have an Arabic nation recognizing the existence of Israel, normalizing economics, trade, direct flights.

00:00:47.000 They're going to be opening up mosques for Muslim individuals to come in and pray.

00:00:52.000 So this is a very, very big deal.

00:00:53.000 And of course, there are haters saying that he didn't really do anything significant.

00:00:58.000 And then there are people now calling for Donald Trump to get the Nobel Peace Prize.

00:01:04.000 And I'm sorry, I have no argument against that, to be completely honest.

00:01:09.000 Because, I mean, Obama, I don't know what Obama got the Peace Prize for, do you?

00:01:13.000 I have no idea.

00:01:14.000 Yeah.

00:01:15.000 I have no idea.

00:01:17.000 And maybe I should.

00:01:18.000 But I think it's a big deal.

00:01:19.000 I think it's a really, really big deal.

00:01:20.000 And we're going to talk about that.

00:01:21.000 We've got a bunch of other stories.

00:01:22.000 Seriously big news.

00:01:24.000 Yale has been found to discriminate against white people and Asian people.

00:01:29.000 And so we're going to riff on this.

00:01:31.000 I want to go over what's going on in California.

00:01:33.000 Most of you are probably aware Crowder got his monetization back.

00:01:36.000 So we've got some fun stuff to talk about.

00:01:38.000 We'll go through it.

00:01:38.000 But the big news that everybody is waiting for... Adam's not on the show.

00:01:43.000 It's me.

00:01:43.000 Hello.

00:01:44.000 It's Lydia.

00:01:44.000 Sour Patch Lids of producer fame.

00:01:47.000 Lydia is the producer and Adam is not on the show.

00:01:51.000 And I know that everybody thinks there's like some... I'm seeing all these conspiracy theories and I'm just like, I don't know what to tell you, man.

00:01:58.000 Look, everybody's friends.

00:01:59.000 We're all trying to make sure that everybody has an opportunity to be entertained and informed and do their thing.

00:02:06.000 And Adam's literally setting up cameras and building a studio like 30 feet away.

00:02:10.000 And it's just sometimes there are things that happen in people's personal lives.

00:02:15.000 It's none of my business.

00:02:16.000 And it's nothing to do with any grand conspiracy.

00:02:19.000 Like some people were like, YouTube came and they were like, you have to- I'm like, he's got his own channel.

00:02:25.000 What are you talking about?

00:02:26.000 Like YouTube didn't come and say anything.

00:02:27.000 It's just, you know, things, I don't know.

00:02:30.000 It's personal issues.

00:02:31.000 That's more exciting though.

00:02:33.000 I know a lot of people hope that there was a lot more exciting things to talk about, but that's about it.

00:02:39.000 So I'm going to be hanging out here with Lydia.

00:02:42.000 Yeah, man.

00:02:42.000 I'm going to be live producing while we do the show, so you guys are welcome to give me constructive feedback.

00:02:47.000 Rag on her. 1.00

00:02:48.000 For sure.

00:02:48.000 Rag on me.

00:02:49.000 I can handle it.

00:02:49.000 I got thick skin.

00:02:50.000 We're going to be having a conversation, talking about a lot of the stuff, and it's going to be, I mean, hopefully relatively similar.

00:02:56.000 I know that, you know, with Adam, there was more of like, you know, his views and back and forth, and we're just going to do our thing.

00:03:02.000 And, you know, I'll say if Adam's got his show, it's on YouTube.

00:03:06.000 It's AdamCastIRL.

00:03:06.000 He's doing his show.

00:03:07.000 He's setting it up.

00:03:09.000 And that's about it.

00:03:10.000 So you can check out his stuff.

00:03:12.000 You can follow him on Twitter.

00:03:13.000 We literally just had pizza like an hour ago hanging out.

00:03:16.000 I know a lot of people want to think there's like some grand conspiracy.

00:03:18.000 There really isn't.

00:03:19.000 It's really just, you know, you can probably imagine the things in your normal daily life.

00:03:25.000 I can't really talk about it.

00:03:26.000 It's not my business.

00:03:26.000 You know what I mean?

00:03:27.000 So just stuff happens.

00:03:28.000 What do you want to say?

00:03:30.000 So, yeah, we got a bunch of stuff, though.

00:03:32.000 I see the chat is yelling, no peace.

00:03:35.000 Who will spin the UFO?

00:03:37.000 Lydia will spin the UFO. 1.00

00:03:37.000 I can do it, yeah. 1.00

00:03:38.000 I think I can do it.

00:03:40.000 But I'll tell you this.

00:03:40.000 Look, there's a slightly different direction, I suppose.

00:03:45.000 We're gonna be booking guests.

00:03:47.000 We're gonna be setting up the new studio soon.

00:03:50.000 We're getting held up really, really bad because of COVID. 0.97

00:03:54.000 It really sucks.

00:03:55.000 And I just got news back from, you know, the business people involved in the expansion, you know, with relocating to the new property. 0.98

00:04:06.000 And we're just getting held up.

00:04:07.000 It's bad.

00:04:08.000 But we're gonna be booking people!

00:04:09.000 We're going to be booking guests.

00:04:10.000 A lot of people who have wanted to come on the show can't because of the COVID lockdown.

00:04:14.000 And then once we relocate, it should be a little bit better, and then we'll be able to have more conversations.

00:04:19.000 But I do want to mention, we're going to have the goal of trying to bring on regular Joes. 1.00

00:04:23.000 You know, regular Joes and Janes. 1.00

00:04:24.000 Yeah, I'm excited.

00:04:25.000 Yeah, regular people, because I think, you know, initially what I wanted to do with this show, the reason why it's called In Real Life was that it was going to be in a van driving around, and I was going to do my main shows, and then I was going to stop and then talk to regular people.

00:04:40.000 And then because of the impracticalities of it, and then eventually, you know, because of the impracticalities, I was like, let's just do a sit-down podcast, you know, conversation thing.

00:04:50.000 And then COVID happened, and all of a sudden we couldn't book guests anymore.

00:04:52.000 We had like, what, four guests?

00:04:54.000 Yeah, we had four or five.

00:04:54.000 In February.

00:04:55.000 And it was so fun to have them, and I really enjoyed booking them and those conversations, so I cannot wait to get back to that.

00:05:00.000 Yeah, and then COVID, man, it's brutal.

00:05:03.000 It's really, really brutal.

00:05:04.000 Everything's ruined.

00:05:04.000 But I'll tell you what, if it's up to you, if you want to smash the like button, I know there's no Hulk hands, and I respect the criticism.

00:05:15.000 Anybody who wants to say it, it's...

00:05:17.000 Nothing, you know, it is what it is.

00:05:19.000 So if you do like the show, if you do respect it, then I appreciate, smash the like button, subscribe, notification bell.

00:05:24.000 We're still gonna be doing the show every Monday through Friday, live, 8 p.m.

00:05:28.000 And we've been trying to line up guests for quite some time, but people seriously have been like, some people gung-ho about not caring about COVID, some people really adamant about like, nah, COVID, you know, I can't do it.

00:05:39.000 But it seems like things are starting to ease up, and more importantly, We're trying to relocate.

00:05:43.000 Really, really, you know, we're trying to relocate.

00:05:45.000 So if we do, then we can get on the road with all that stuff.

00:05:48.000 But that being said, it's time that we talk about the news.

00:05:52.000 I do see that the chat is exploding.

00:05:54.000 There's nothing I can do.

00:05:55.000 So, I mean, I can keep going.

00:05:58.000 I can take the day off.

00:05:59.000 I hope you all realize I work 16 hours a day every day with no days off.

00:06:02.000 And if you're not happy, you know, but I'm going to do the show.

00:06:05.000 So I don't know what else you guys want me to say or do, but we're going to talk about the news here.

00:06:09.000 Let's do it.

00:06:10.000 The first story we have for everybody.

00:06:12.000 National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien.

00:06:15.000 Trump should get Nobel Peace Prize for Israel-UAE deal.

00:06:20.000 This is from Just the News.

00:06:21.000 John Solomon's outlets say Senior White House Advisor Jared Kushner and National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien fielded questions in the wake of the historic announcement of an agreement normalizing diplomatic relations between Israel and the UAE.

00:06:33.000 Now, National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien, sure.

00:06:37.000 I mean, do you know who that is?

00:06:39.000 Is his opinion strong?

00:06:40.000 I'm not real familiar with him.

00:06:41.000 All right, well, I'll tell you what.

00:06:42.000 I'll tell you whose opinion does matter.

00:06:44.000 Cat turd! 1.00

00:06:45.000 Yes, of course.

00:06:46.000 I hopped over to Twitter.

00:06:49.000 Nobel Peace Prize.

00:06:50.000 Yeah, if you look on Twitter, they're actually talking about it.

00:06:52.000 Cat Turd says, President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

00:06:56.000 You've got Nick Adams.

00:06:57.000 I'm not sure who a lot of these people are, to be honest.

00:06:59.000 Best-selling author endorsed by POTUS.

00:07:01.000 Many people cheering.

00:07:02.000 And it became actually, check this out, a trending topic on Twitter.

00:07:07.000 Nobel Peace Prize.

00:07:07.000 People are calling for Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize after he announced an agreement to normalize diplomatic relations between Israel and the UAE.

00:07:16.000 It's cool stuff.

00:07:17.000 So what does that mean?

00:07:18.000 What's going on?

00:07:19.000 Yeah, so you want me to read through this?

00:07:21.000 Yeah, do it to it.

00:07:22.000 Yeah, so we're just talking about Israel and the United Arab Emirates just finally normalizing relations and the shift in the Middle East politics.

00:07:31.000 Most important, I think, from this is the West Bank annexation, and they're putting it on hold.

00:07:35.000 So this isn't like totally fixing everything.

00:07:39.000 To me, this seems a little bit like a Band-Aid, which may be an unfair characterization, honestly, if they're calling for him to get like a Nobel Peace Prize.

00:07:45.000 That's his fans, though.

00:07:46.000 I know, I know.

00:07:47.000 His fans are saying, give Trump a Peace Prize.

00:07:49.000 I mean, I gotta be honest, if Obama got one for whatever... He bombed people.

00:07:53.000 Didn't he bomb American citizens? 0.98

00:07:56.000 Obama did kill an American citizen. 0.95

00:07:58.000 That's true. 0.89

00:07:59.000 Dude.

00:07:59.000 Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki.

00:08:00.000 Oh, actually, a couple of them.

00:08:02.000 Yeah, that was... Yeah, that's why I'm really impressed by it.

00:08:06.000 Yeah, I think it's fantastic.

00:08:07.000 So, well, look, basically, there are a lot of people who act like the Emirates and Israel have... I'm trying to be careful here, but people have called them proxy states of the United States.

00:08:21.000 Of the United States? Really? They think Israel is a proxy state?

00:08:24.000 Yes. That's what they're arguing. And so of American imperialism or whatever. And this

00:08:28.000 is what I've seen from the anti-war left. And to me, I think you've got an Arabic nation now 0.97

00:08:34.000 recognizing the existence of Israel. That's fantastic.

00:08:37.000 Yeah. And they're going to tourism, direct flights, economics.

00:08:41.000 That's great.

00:08:42.000 Dude, I'm excited.

00:08:43.000 Like, I never thought that I would see this.

00:08:44.000 I did not think this would happen.

00:08:46.000 Yeah.

00:08:46.000 I mean, we'll see if anything comes of it.

00:08:48.000 The bigger concern is that, will it hold?

00:08:50.000 Will there be peace?

00:08:52.000 Trump was asked about this in a press conference.

00:08:55.000 And he basically, he deferred, I can't remember who he deferred to, but they were like, we've put all our eggs in this basket.

00:09:01.000 Yeah.

00:09:01.000 And we have a deal.

00:09:02.000 So that's what we're betting on.

00:09:04.000 Yeah.

00:09:05.000 Foreign policy stuff.

00:09:06.000 It's so easy to talk about, isn't it?

00:09:09.000 It was really easy, man.

00:09:12.000 We got all the answers.

00:09:13.000 Yeah.

00:09:14.000 These are some of the biggest issues I care about when it comes to electoral politics.

00:09:19.000 So, you know, in the past, like I've mentioned before, Barack Obama, they called him Obama.

00:09:24.000 Right.

00:09:25.000 Yeah.

00:09:25.000 He killed a lot of people.

00:09:26.000 And when it came to getting away with it, it was basically like, if they're of military age in the Middle East, that was it.

00:09:35.000 Yeah, I don't like that, for obvious reasons.

00:09:38.000 Because once you hit a certain age and suddenly you're cannon fodder or whatever?

00:09:42.000 That's awful.

00:09:43.000 That's unbelievable.

00:09:45.000 So that wasn't new for Obama, though, was it?

00:09:48.000 No, I mean, you mean like president-wise?

00:09:49.000 Yeah.

00:09:50.000 No, they all did it.

00:09:51.000 Well, they all thought that a certain age meant that you could just blow him up?

00:09:54.000 Yeah, but I think it was actually that Yeah.

00:09:58.000 That's not nice.

00:09:59.000 Who was it?

00:09:59.000 civilians and they needed a way to justify killing civilians.

00:10:03.000 That's not nice.

00:10:04.000 Yeah, you know, I wonder about what makes up the current Trump base.

00:10:10.000 Like, who was it?

00:10:12.000 Somebody said that Tulsi Gabbard might speak at the...

00:10:15.000 Yeah.

00:10:16.000 So I was watching because I was really intrigued by this because John Kasich was speaking at the DNC and then Tulsi Gabbard was being like considered to speak at the RNC.

00:10:26.000 And I was like, this is the greatest crossover of all time.

00:10:28.000 I thought it was really funny.

00:10:30.000 I would say if we got away with Tulsi and they had John Kasich, we had definitely won that round.

00:10:35.000 But holy cow. 1.00

00:10:36.000 It's so weird.

00:10:38.000 Whatever is going on, there's like, I don't understand how you can have So, look, the criticism I'm seeing of Trump from the left is that this is not a real deal.

00:10:49.000 Right.

00:10:50.000 That he held off at the very last minute for, you know, a re-election bump, and that these are two states that already work for, you know, work at the behest of the U.S., so it's no big deal.

00:10:59.000 I disagree.

00:11:00.000 I disagree.

00:11:00.000 I think this is major.

00:11:02.000 And this major announcement means that other nations and people will start to reflect on this and stuff.

00:11:08.000 And now we have, I guess, Tulsi Gabbard.

00:11:10.000 I don't know.

00:11:10.000 I don't know if it's confirmed.

00:11:11.000 I don't think it is.

00:11:13.000 Okay.

00:11:13.000 I mean, it'd be great.

00:11:14.000 Yeah, it'd be cool, right?

00:11:15.000 But she's a progressive.

00:11:16.000 I mean, if you look at her record.

00:11:17.000 She is.

00:11:17.000 But she's consistently been about anti-war and it's resulted in her, for some reason, being more aligned with Trump supporters.

00:11:25.000 And that's the weirdest thing to me.

00:11:27.000 That is weird.

00:11:28.000 I mean, but it's almost like we're seeing a redefinition of both parties.

00:11:33.000 Yeah.

00:11:34.000 Yeah.

00:11:36.000 The actual Republican base today feels so different from where the Republicans were, even with Mitt Romney.

00:11:41.000 Yeah.

00:11:41.000 And I don't understand.

00:11:43.000 A lot has changed over the last, like, five years, I would say.

00:11:46.000 Like what?

00:11:46.000 I feel like everything has shifted, because from what I recall when I was growing up, I don't remember my family's attitude toward the idea of a war, but it was never considered, like, bad.

00:11:57.000 We were not pacifists.

00:11:58.000 We did not think it was a big deal.

00:11:59.000 We thought it was part of being American.

00:12:01.000 Just kind of being involved overseas, which is obviously subject to debate.

00:12:05.000 But then over time, I started noticing that the Democrats were only interested in being against war when it helped their narrative.

00:12:14.000 And I was like, what's going on here?

00:12:16.000 Why is no one being consistent?

00:12:17.000 And Republicans started to be the ones who were like, no, war is bad.

00:12:20.000 We got to get out of there.

00:12:21.000 Most of them, not all of them.

00:12:23.000 Your family's conservative?

00:12:24.000 Yeah.

00:12:24.000 How do they feel about the war during George W. Bush?

00:12:27.000 They were kind of hands-off about it, like they didn't think it was a good thing, but I think that we thought that they had a really good goal being over there, especially after 9-11.

00:12:35.000 Because following up with that, they were like, this is something important that we need to do.

00:12:39.000 We need to make sure this doesn't happen again.

00:12:41.000 Yeah, and it was BS, but it really was the New York Times and the media and many outlets who told us that we were facing these threats.

00:12:49.000 And then when it came to Barack Obama, who was like, I don't know, what was McCain's position?

00:12:54.000 Was he for Bolton?

00:12:55.000 He was so pro-war. 0.96

00:12:56.000 He was like, Bolton, seriously.

00:12:58.000 Right, right, right, right.

00:12:59.000 That's why, like, it's really funny when McCain died, and I, you know, with all due respect, Everybody on Twitter, every political spectrum, was just, like, not having it.

00:13:11.000 Like, they don't like the guy.

00:13:13.000 And there was a meme, it was a political compass, and in the center, it was like an NPC saying, you know, like, love and respect for, you know, service and duty or something.

00:13:21.000 And then every faction, the authoritarian left, the libertarian left, were like, F. McCain or whatever.

00:13:27.000 And it was funny because, like, I was, I didn't think it was, like, tepid or centrist to say, you know, I can respect him, you know, he died.

00:13:35.000 I guess that makes me milquetoast centrist.

00:13:39.000 See, I don't really agree with that either, because I think that you can totally make the statement that he, because he was partially, his arms were partially paralyzed because of what he went through overseas, right?

00:13:48.000 They tortured him.

00:13:49.000 That is a heroic act.

00:13:51.000 Like, and two things I think can really be true at once, especially in the case of John McCain.

00:13:55.000 He was extremely heroic.

00:13:57.000 He saved a bunch of his men.

00:13:58.000 But then he did not become someone who loved peace.

00:14:02.000 He continued to like the idea of war.

00:14:04.000 And I did not, I couldn't, I couldn't square that in my mind.

00:14:06.000 You know what bothers me a lot about, like, especially where Republicans used to be?

00:14:11.000 Because this is the point of what I'm trying to get to.

00:14:13.000 Everything's very different now.

00:14:14.000 Yeah.

00:14:14.000 Like, for some reason, you've got, there were more Republicans supporting Trump withdrawing from Afghanistan than there were Democrats.

00:14:23.000 Mind you, there were only eight.

00:14:24.000 There's so few of them, yeah.

00:14:25.000 And there were three Democrats. 0.99

00:14:27.000 Yeah, so, I mean, look, both parties suck, you know. 0.97

00:14:29.000 Trump's something totally different, you know, whether he gets a peace prize or whatever. 0.97

00:14:34.000 But with Obama, They were pro-war to an insane degree. 0.94

00:14:38.000 All the liberals just shut up.

00:14:40.000 And that to me was like... I was like, you know what, man? 0.95

00:14:43.000 What is this?

00:14:45.000 I felt like it was 2008, you know?

00:14:50.000 Yeah.

00:14:50.000 Hope and change.

00:14:51.000 Bring the troops back and all these really great things.

00:14:53.000 And it was not true.

00:14:55.000 And I think, you know, when you look at the legacy of Barack Obama with the National Defense Authorization Act, with bolstering our forces in the Middle East and all of the extrajudicial assassination of American citizens, You know, this is rough.

00:15:10.000 I know domestic policy is really important, but for me, where, you know, how I viewed the world and how people viewed us and really getting to as close as we can to something we can consider to be utopian, which would probably just be, you know, carrying on in a, you know, freedom, libertarian-ish capitalist system of some sort with like a mixed economy, some kind of social safety net.

00:15:34.000 Then I think, you know, worldly affairs are really, really important.

00:15:37.000 And I'm thinking, like, how can we actually function as a country if we just routinely do these things?

00:15:43.000 And how can we have a constitution when you actually have a president who straight up says, if you're an American but you're in a different country, I can drop a bomb on you?

00:15:51.000 Right, and he talks about having a pen and a phone and just bypassing all of the stuff that was put into place to make sure that presidents didn't sit down with a pen and a phone and do all this stuff.

00:16:01.000 And like the kind of thing that Democrats are complaining about now with Trump.

00:16:04.000 These things that the executive branch shouldn't have control over.

00:16:08.000 It's just grown too much.

00:16:09.000 They just keep doing it.

00:16:10.000 Obama, I mean, how did we enter Libya?

00:16:14.000 You remember all that, under Obama?

00:16:15.000 Yeah.

00:16:16.000 Yeah, and it was like, you can't, the president can't just do that, and he just did it.

00:16:20.000 And they were like, well, whatever.

00:16:22.000 And it's been that way nonstop.

00:16:24.000 And so, you know, early on in Trump's, several years ago, he fired a bunch of missiles into Syria.

00:16:30.000 Right.

00:16:30.000 All of a sudden we saw these pundits like, hmm, truly a presidential candidate, you know.

00:16:34.000 Or, not candidate, but truly so presidential.

00:16:36.000 No, it's not strange.

00:16:37.000 They support the war machine. 0.62

00:16:40.000 And here's what I think is happening right now.

00:16:40.000 Yeah.

00:16:43.000 It seems like someone accidentally allowed real Americans to win an election with Donald Trump.

00:16:50.000 Yeah, what's up with that?

00:16:51.000 It was an accident.

00:16:52.000 There was like that Pied Piper email from the DNC.

00:16:54.000 Do you remember that one?

00:16:55.000 No.

00:16:56.000 It was like, Donald Trump is a Pied Piper candidate that would, basically they wanted Trump to be prominent because it would make them lose.

00:17:03.000 Wow.

00:17:03.000 And it made him win!

00:17:04.000 Really? 1.00

00:17:04.000 Talk about how stupid that was. 1.00

00:17:06.000 Interesting. 0.99

00:17:06.000 Yeah, but I think about like, It's really become obvious when you have a two-party system, and then you get a president who's straight up like, eh, I'm over this, let's pull our troops out. 0.99

00:17:16.000 And all of a sudden now, you have the never-Trumpers, the Republican establishment who ran with their tails between their legs, begging, banging on the door of the Democratic establishment, help us, help us!

00:17:26.000 You know, and they're pro-war.

00:17:27.000 And then the Democrats are like, okay, come on in! 0.99

00:17:31.000 And now they're basically doing like war games and other stupid, you know, whatever together. 1.00

00:17:35.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:17:35.000 And they're all pro-war. 0.99

00:17:37.000 And then they run this media narrative that's like, very obviously pro-war.

00:17:41.000 I read an article from Defense One, where they're like, something really weird is happening.

00:17:45.000 Where for some reason Congress is stopping the president from ending the use of force in a foreign country.

00:17:50.000 It never, it doesn't happen that way.

00:17:52.000 But I think what we're seeing is, with Trump and with, you know,

00:17:56.000 his efforts to withdraw forces, and now the Middle Eastern peace deal,

00:18:00.000 these are bad for the military industrial complex.

00:18:02.000 These are bad for these big companies.

00:18:04.000 They want to go on big adventures.

00:18:06.000 They want to be big machines that churn out economic value.

00:18:11.000 Donald Trump talked about selling weapons to Saudi Arabia and all the stuff and things that people are very critical about.

00:18:16.000 And now we see this happening.

00:18:18.000 And now the Trump supporters, which includes people who were liberal before.

00:18:22.000 What am I supposed to say?

00:18:24.000 You know, like, Donald Trump has just coordinated this Middle Eastern peace deal, whether or not He's deserving of all of the credit or some of the credit or whatever.

00:18:34.000 It's him.

00:18:35.000 It's him.

00:18:36.000 And I absolutely think that Israel and UAE deserve lots of credit for this.

00:18:42.000 It's really hard to come to the table.

00:18:43.000 And there's a lot of political issues involved and probably historical hate.

00:18:49.000 And Trump, they said he had a vision.

00:18:52.000 He had a meeting.

00:18:53.000 He brought them together at an event, I guess, and he said, I want to do this.

00:18:57.000 And they both were like, we're interested in talking and he helped make this happen.

00:19:01.000 So what am I supposed to say to people?

00:19:02.000 I have, I have friends of mine who are like, donate to Biden.

00:19:05.000 You, you have to Trump can't win.

00:19:07.000 And I'm like, what?

00:19:10.000 What am I supposed to do now?

00:19:14.000 I've been talking to some people who hate Biden.

00:19:17.000 Some prominent people, some high-profile people who are like, I can't vote for Trump, man.

00:19:21.000 And I'm like, I hear you, you know?

00:19:23.000 And I'm pretty upset.

00:19:26.000 For me, it's begrudgingly.

00:19:27.000 As of right now, I probably will.

00:19:30.000 And especially with Kamala Harris.

00:19:32.000 Dude.

00:19:33.000 The issue, though, too, is like, I don't know how I feel about Mike Pence, but I'll tell you this.

00:19:39.000 If we get Middle Eastern peace, if I mean that, I can't I can't even put in the words the feeling like I have because of this. 1.00

00:19:47.000 I'm like, my jaw hit the floor and I see the haters and I'm like, can you give him one day?

00:19:53.000 And they're like, it doesn't really mean anything.

00:19:54.000 I'm like, dude, are you kidding me?

00:19:57.000 You can't even go to these countries if you've ever been to Israel.

00:20:01.000 And now we're starting to see a crack break where it's like, there can be peace.

00:20:06.000 And it might not be perfect.

00:20:07.000 Things like this may have happened in the past, but to this extent, I'm stoked on it, right?

00:20:12.000 Yeah.

00:20:13.000 Yeah, but there's still people saying, nah.

00:20:15.000 This reminds me a little bit of the North Korea thing that they came up with.

00:20:17.000 Yeah.

00:20:18.000 Cause I remember everybody, I was like, this is another thing.

00:20:21.000 This is the first time I started thinking, you know, I've never, this is something I never thought I'd see.

00:20:25.000 I thought we'd always be at war.

00:20:26.000 I thought they would always be threatening to bomb somebody in order to get some kind of aid from us.

00:20:31.000 Cause my parents told me that was how it was.

00:20:33.000 That was what they did.

00:20:34.000 They would threaten to do things and we would give them help.

00:20:36.000 And I was like, ah, that's, that sounds like a really wonderful situation.

00:20:39.000 Maybe we should do something about that.

00:20:41.000 So when he when he kind of pulled that off or he made headway there, I was really impressed.

00:20:47.000 And to me, doing this is even more impressive because it's not just North Korea.

00:20:50.000 It's not just one country.

00:20:51.000 It's two different countries that have been totally at odds.

00:20:54.000 And then President Trump, who supposedly has absolutely no standing in the world, kind of bringing them together and using coronavirus as a kind of.

00:21:03.000 That's one of the things.

00:21:03.000 Right, right.

00:21:04.000 So that that was amazing to me.

00:21:05.000 I was like, this is really smart.

00:21:08.000 This is very clever diplomacy.

00:21:10.000 Yeah, so one of the things they're doing is they're gonna be working together on a COVID vaccine, and that's great.

00:21:15.000 I mean, this is all great.

00:21:17.000 Yeah, when Trump started talking with North Korea and the deal, like, to try and work towards peace, I think it's kind of not really gone so well.

00:21:25.000 Right. North Korea kind of does their thing and he got roasted for it and what really bothered me is, you know,

00:21:31.000 Donald Trump walked in to North Korea Right. With no security. Right. I I was just uh, man, once

00:21:40.000 again, I'm shocked. I'm like Peace is possible. So here's my question for all the people

00:21:46.000 who are complaining about Trump and all the things He's bad at now like yeah, like so so I saw somebody

00:21:50.000 mentioned like, you know, Tim You say you don't like Trump's character who should he act

00:21:55.000 more like and I'm like, it's a good it's a good point You know people made fun of George W Bush

00:22:00.000 But I'll be honest, I think Trump has done a lot better in the past couple of years relative to where he was when he first got elected.

00:22:05.000 And I can I can recognize that.

00:22:07.000 Right.

00:22:07.000 And I think it really comes down to, you know, finer points on issues related to social liberalism, you know, just like old old school wedge issues that still kind of exist.

00:22:18.000 You know, it really bothers me about Trump.

00:22:19.000 And this is not really a popular view, I don't think, because I don't know how many people even think about this anymore.

00:22:25.000 But the budget really, really bothers me.

00:22:27.000 Oh, the national debt.

00:22:29.000 And I think that people who are thinking about the future are bothered by it.

00:22:33.000 And Trump doesn't seem to mind.

00:22:35.000 Like, I don't know how he used to run his business.

00:22:38.000 Maybe this is why some of them went into the ground.

00:22:40.000 But he doesn't just seem interested in There was only a few of his businesses that were bankruptcies, and he had hundreds.

00:22:47.000 Okay, that's fair.

00:22:47.000 Yeah.

00:22:48.000 Yeah, I know.

00:22:49.000 I hear this all the time, and I'm like, bankruptcy doesn't mean you're a failure.

00:22:52.000 It means you're strategically trying to, you know... Right.

00:22:55.000 But I kind of thought when he was elected that being a businessman would help him pay really close attention to the deficit.

00:23:01.000 Nah, it's wrong.

00:23:02.000 It's way off on that one.

00:23:04.000 There are a lot of benefits to a business person in government, but I think we see often in the... Look, man, businesses are authoritarian.

00:23:12.000 Totally.

00:23:13.000 You start your own company, you can do whatever you want.

00:23:15.000 You hire who you want, you fire who you want.

00:23:17.000 Within the law, there's still legal issues here.

00:23:20.000 But you can snap your fingers and be like, you know, we need a giant vat of grape jelly.

00:23:27.000 And your employees are going to be like, uh, we're a sock company.

00:23:27.000 Yes.

00:23:31.000 What do we need?

00:23:32.000 Just get me the jelly! 0.92

00:23:33.000 And you slam the table and they go do it.

00:23:35.000 Yep.

00:23:36.000 Yeah.

00:23:36.000 And so when you go into government, Trump sits in the room and he says, here's what you need to do.

00:23:41.000 And he ends up with, I can't remember which one of his advisors, saying like, you can't do that.

00:23:47.000 Yeah, I think a few of them have said that.

00:23:49.000 Yeah, and they're like, it's the legal channels, it's the red tape.

00:23:53.000 And then he's like, why?

00:23:55.000 You know?

00:23:56.000 Then the media comes after him, they're like, look what he's doing, he's doing illegal things, and it's like, ugh.

00:24:00.000 And they misframe everything.

00:24:02.000 Right, of course.

00:24:03.000 So now, it's gonna be really, really tough for them to drag him over this, but earlier when I covered this, when it first broke, like this is what I was saying earlier, normally I'll have like, I've got a bunch of stories pulled up, there are a bunch of things I know I want to talk about, then this dropped and I was like, wow.

00:24:19.000 That's it, yeah.

00:24:20.000 And so I pulled it up, I'm like, I don't know.

00:24:22.000 And I wanted to be fair, I got some criticism from other people to highlight.

00:24:26.000 But it reminded me of, it was, I think, who was it, Nate Silver?

00:24:29.000 From FiveThirtyEight?

00:24:31.000 When he tweeted, you won't even give, the libs won't even give Trump one good day.

00:24:36.000 And that was when he killed al-Baghdadi, who was the leader of ISIS.

00:24:41.000 The austere religious scholar, as I recall, yes.

00:24:44.000 This to me, like, when I saw the note that came out, the statement that came out from the world leaders, Trump and Netanyahu, and I think it's Sheikh Mohammed Zayed, the crown prince of UAE.

00:24:56.000 And I saw these people ragging on him. 0.98

00:24:58.000 The craziest thing was the people who are too dumb to understand what it was. 0.99

00:25:03.000 And this, this bums me out, man. 0.99

00:25:05.000 You know, they don't, they don't understand when it's, I don't get it.

00:25:09.000 I really, I just don't get it.

00:25:11.000 How could I grow up hearing that war is bad, war is bad, war is bad?

00:25:16.000 You know, from the left, from the liberals.

00:25:19.000 And now, they don't care.

00:25:21.000 Or they support it.

00:25:23.000 I've actually had a progressive friend of mine say, well, you know, when it comes to war.

00:25:28.000 Oh, please.

00:25:29.000 I try to be consistent and there are things that I value and my position on war has a lot to do with the death penalty.

00:25:36.000 Right.

00:25:36.000 And the justification of whether or not we should be doing the things we're doing.

00:25:41.000 Right.

00:25:42.000 So you know what, man?

00:25:43.000 If this leads Trump to the Nobel Peace Prize or whatever.

00:25:48.000 So be it, man.

00:25:49.000 Seriously.

00:25:49.000 Yeah.

00:25:52.000 Yeah.

00:25:53.000 I don't know.

00:25:53.000 I think that's really cool.

00:25:54.000 I think that's fantastic.

00:25:56.000 Honestly, I think that this kind of work between these two different countries and kind of facilitating this is fully deserving of a Peace Prize.

00:26:02.000 I don't know what constitutes a Peace Prize.

00:26:04.000 That's true.

00:26:05.000 Maybe I should look into that.

00:26:06.000 But because that would be kind of interesting too, right?

00:26:08.000 You want to look up what Obama got his Peace Prize for?

00:26:10.000 Yeah, let me see.

00:26:11.000 I want to do this, listen.

00:26:12.000 I think... I try not to beat the dead horse when it comes to issues of foreign war, Middle Eastern conflict, all of this stuff.

00:26:22.000 But it really is like, these are my issues.

00:26:26.000 That's why I really like Tulsi Gabbard.

00:26:28.000 She's not running and, you know, whatever.

00:26:30.000 That's why I think it's really cool that she might speak.

00:26:32.000 I don't know what the deal is, whether she'd speak at the RNC or something.

00:26:35.000 But I love it.

00:26:37.000 I know that there are other people that I also respect who disagree.

00:26:39.000 I think Dan Crenshaw.

00:26:40.000 I think he's fantastic.

00:26:41.000 Tremendous respect for the guy.

00:26:42.000 And I think he disagrees.

00:26:43.000 I think he said we need a presence over there.

00:26:46.000 But this is it for me.

00:26:47.000 It's something that I find really, really important.

00:26:50.000 But we have another story.

00:26:52.000 You want to talk about Obama real quick?

00:26:53.000 Yeah, let me talk about him real quick because I was able to find it.

00:26:55.000 Let me go through this with you guys.

00:26:57.000 So it says the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the U.S.

00:27:00.000 President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people.

00:27:06.000 Hey, you know what Trump just did today?

00:27:09.000 He seriously strengthened international diplomacy and cooperation between these two countries that were at odds.

00:27:16.000 I got a question though.

00:27:17.000 Yeah.

00:27:18.000 Didn't Obama assume office in like January, January 20th, 2009?

00:27:23.000 2009 or 2008?

00:27:26.000 The election was in 08.

00:27:27.000 And then in 09, he assumes office.

00:27:29.000 He's like immediate.

00:27:30.000 Yeah, they kind of just gave him the award literally.

00:27:34.000 So I'm wondering, what did he have to do to earn the Nobel Peace Prize?

00:27:41.000 I don't think earn is the right word here.

00:27:43.000 What the heck?

00:27:44.000 So, he accepted the Peace Prize in December.

00:27:46.000 They announced the award October 9, 2009, citing Obama's promotion of nuclear non-proliferation and a new climate in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world.

00:28:04.000 The Nobel Committee's decision drew mixed reactions from U.S.

00:28:06.000 commentators and editorial writers across the political spectrum, as well as the rest of the world.

00:28:10.000 Interesting.

00:28:10.000 Look at this.

00:28:12.000 He accepted the award on December 10, 2009.

00:28:15.000 In a 36-minute speech, he discussed the tensions between war and peace and the idea of a just war, saying, Perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the commander-in-chief of the military of a nation in the midst of two wars.

00:28:31.000 Obama is the fourth president of the United States to have won the Nobel Peace Prize after Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter.

00:28:37.000 And Carter's honor happened after leaving office.

00:28:39.000 Wow.

00:28:40.000 Okay.

00:28:41.000 So after that, Obama added more troops and then sent a bunch of drones.

00:28:46.000 And the drones done blew people up. 0.99

00:28:47.000 Yep.

00:28:48.000 Yeah.

00:28:48.000 Yeah, I do have to say it was surprisingly self-aware of him to talk about the country being in two different wars at the time that he received this prize.

00:28:55.000 Yeah.

00:28:56.000 Thanks for pointing that out, dude.

00:28:58.000 We noticed that.

00:28:58.000 Yeah, and a lot of people made the joke.

00:28:59.000 They're like, maybe Obama should give the award back once he started blowing up, you know, military-aged men.

00:29:05.000 Yep.

00:29:06.000 There are a couple people, and I'm not entirely sure, so definitely fact check me, I think Obama killed four people that were American citizens without charge or trial.

00:29:16.000 And the scariest thing, and this is credit to Luke Rutkowski of We Are Change, he was speaking to people at the, I think it was the debates, right?

00:29:26.000 I don't know if you know this.

00:29:27.000 It was the debates, and I think it was the debates.

00:29:31.000 They got some interviews, and they asked people, you know, Obama used a drone strike to kill a 16-year-old American citizen without charge or trial, and the response was, yeah, well, he should have had a better dad.

00:29:44.000 What?

00:29:45.000 Yeah, I think that... I'm not sure who said that.

00:29:47.000 It's been a long time.

00:29:48.000 This was back in like 2011 or 2012.

00:29:50.000 Wow.

00:29:52.000 Yeah.

00:29:53.000 And where was the news?

00:29:55.000 Where was the media?

00:29:56.000 We get dragged into this stuff by biased fake news.

00:30:03.000 Man.

00:30:04.000 You know what I think?

00:30:05.000 There's a lot of people in this country who just trust the news.

00:30:09.000 And when the news says it, they're like, why not?

00:30:12.000 When Trump comes out and challenges that, you've got a bunch of NPCs and they're thinking like, but the news is a part of my day.

00:30:19.000 Yeah.

00:30:21.000 They don't want to break away from it, but, man, is it fake?

00:30:24.000 And here's what I've got to say, because we're going to go into this next story, and it's going to be really bad, so I hope you're all ready for this next story, because we're going to talk about something that the media's been heavily criticized for.

00:30:35.000 There is the media that people talk about, like with air quotes, and then there's actual news outlets.

00:30:42.000 Local news tends to do a pretty okay job.

00:30:44.000 There's a lot of- there's still the same issues that affect local outlets the same as national outlets.

00:30:49.000 But the national outlets have a tendency of being...

00:30:53.000 I don't know, wings of the Democratic Party, to put it that way.

00:30:55.000 Public relations wing.

00:30:57.000 The issue is, right now we have liberal media, we have left-wing.

00:31:03.000 I don't like calling it liberal media, but that's what it's called, right?

00:31:05.000 That's how people refer to it.

00:31:06.000 And then you have conservative media.

00:31:08.000 But the mainstream news and people like, you know, Brian Stelter, they never say left-wing media.

00:31:14.000 They always just say, like, Trump's ragging on news outlets.

00:31:17.000 They're like fish not knowing they're wet, almost.

00:31:19.000 Yeah, but they will say right-wing commentators, right-wing personalities.

00:31:23.000 They'll lump all of the worst people in the world together under the banner of right-wing.

00:31:26.000 If you go to the anti-defamation leagues like Terror Tracker, they're like, anyone anti-government is right-wing.

00:31:32.000 That's amazing.

00:31:32.000 It's like, we talk about Antifa as anti-government, but there's no anti-government left-wing category.

00:31:38.000 There was one instance where they claimed that a black identity extremist who had killed people was left-wing.

00:31:45.000 And all of a sudden I'm like, well hold on a minute.

00:31:47.000 Isn't racial supremacy, like, right-wing?

00:31:51.000 But because of the race, you make it left or right?

00:31:54.000 That's weird.

00:31:55.000 So what ends up happening, this is how the media functions.

00:31:58.000 Yeah.

00:31:59.000 So listen, we're going to get, this is going to be brutal, man.

00:32:03.000 I appreciate you guys.

00:32:06.000 We're going to talk about a really, really messed up story.

00:32:09.000 And we're going to talk about what the media is doing.

00:32:12.000 So I'm giving you guys fair warning.

00:32:14.000 Your blood will boil from this one.

00:32:16.000 Check it out.

00:32:18.000 It's from The Blaze.

00:32:19.000 And I've got an update on this.

00:32:23.000 Neighbor reportedly rushes five-year-old boy playing outside, puts a gun to his head, and executes him from the blaze.

00:32:30.000 This story's been making the rounds among many, many people.

00:32:34.000 And I just say many people because I see a lot of people talking about it and I don't see large mainstream news outlets.

00:32:39.000 They didn't talk about it.

00:32:41.000 They didn't talk about a story like this.

00:32:43.000 I saw this.

00:32:44.000 And I had people asking me if I would cover it and, you know, will I bring it up?

00:32:48.000 And I gotta be honest.

00:32:50.000 My thought process initially was like, this is insane.

00:32:53.000 However...

00:32:55.000 My point of view was like, I don't think I can just highlight this one particular story because people think the media is ignoring it.

00:33:02.000 Right.

00:33:03.000 And they should be covering it.

00:33:04.000 Right.

00:33:05.000 And I also kind of thought like, well, I mean, you know, will they cover it?

00:33:10.000 I mean, are people jumping the gun?

00:33:11.000 You know, let's see if this becomes a story.

00:33:13.000 And sure enough, it didn't.

00:33:15.000 And now it's at the point where we have the body camera footage from George Floyd totally ignored, totally ignored.

00:33:22.000 And I'm like, wait, wait, hold on, hold on a minute.

00:33:25.000 How many stories like this do we have?

00:33:26.000 So, you know, with all due respect and, you know, maybe I could have done a better job, maybe I could have brought up this story sooner.

00:33:34.000 You have the story of a five-year-old boy who was playing outside and a dude ran up, because of some beef, executed a little kid.

00:33:41.000 And this doesn't make... It's not just about this story.

00:33:45.000 There's a bunch of stories like this.

00:33:46.000 Do you remember when in New York there were people running up to Orthodox and Hasidic Jews and just beating them? 0.93

00:33:54.000 Yep.

00:33:55.000 And just where was it?

00:33:58.000 Why does it fall on conservatives to support the Jewish community when they were being attacked in New York City?

00:34:04.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:34:05.000 Look, I think it's obvious.

00:34:08.000 The narrative they're pushing, writing Black Lives Matter in the streets, without approval, it's intended to help the Democratic Party.

00:34:16.000 Yeah.

00:34:17.000 I mean, it's Bill de Blasio.

00:34:18.000 It is literally Democrats painting these messages.

00:34:21.000 Yeah.

00:34:22.000 Without permission.

00:34:23.000 Right.

00:34:23.000 Yeah.

00:34:24.000 And taxpayer money.

00:34:25.000 The moment someone challenges it, what do we get?

00:34:28.000 Shut it down.

00:34:29.000 Well, not Bill de Blasio.

00:34:30.000 He was like, no.

00:34:32.000 He said Black Lives Matter transcends politics.

00:34:35.000 Oh, does it?

00:34:36.000 So what?

00:34:37.000 So does Blue Lives Matter.

00:34:38.000 Yeah.

00:34:38.000 I thought everybody liked cops.

00:34:40.000 How does Blue Lives Matter not transcend politics?

00:34:43.000 Police exist literally everywhere.

00:34:45.000 Yeah.

00:34:45.000 No, it's apparently a political statement to say you support police now, but not Black Lives Matter.

00:34:49.000 I want to read you the story because I want to make sure you all understand.

00:34:53.000 This is from The Blaze.

00:34:55.000 They say a five-year-old boy is dead after a man in Wilson, North Carolina reportedly ran up to the child while he was playing in a neighborhood street and fatally shot the child in the head.

00:35:04.000 According to a report from WRAL-TV, the shooting took place on Sunday.

00:35:09.000 Cannon Hinnant was playing outside his father's house on the dusky summer evening, when their neighbor, 25-year-old Darius N. Sessoms, charged Cannon, produced a handgun, and shot him in the head.

00:35:20.000 The child's 7-year-old and 8-year-old siblings witnessed the murder.

00:35:24.000 First responders came to the scene and transported the little boy to Wilson Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

00:35:30.000 Doris Lebrant, a neighbor, said she witnessed Sessoms running up to Cannon, putting the gun to his head, and firing the weapon before fleeing the scene into his own home.

00:35:40.000 She couldn't believe her eyes.

00:35:42.000 Quote, my first reaction was, he's playing with the kids, she recalled.

00:35:46.000 For a second I thought, that couldn't happen.

00:35:48.000 People don't run across the street and kill kids.

00:35:52.000 LeBron said the situation became all too real when she saw the child's father react to the horrific scene.

00:35:57.000 Authorities took Sessoms into custody on Monday night and charged him with first-degree murder.

00:36:02.000 He is being held in the Wilson County Jail without bond.

00:36:06.000 Authorities have not yet determined a motive in the shooting, but insisted that the killing

00:36:10.000 wasn't a random, wasn't at, wasn't random, as Sessoms was reportedly friendly with Cannon's

00:36:14.000 father. A GoFundMe page was set up to benefit the family, uh, has raised at least $5,577

00:36:20.000 at the time of this reporting. I want to stop there too. I see Antifa, far leftist rioters,

00:36:26.000 they go around and they smash windows, they attack people and they raise 80 grand, 30 grand,

00:36:31.000 40 grand. Yep. The media doesn't cover these stories.

00:36:36.000 This is not the only story.

00:36:37.000 These stories happen all the time.

00:36:38.000 And I think I've been desensitized to them, especially growing up in Chicago.

00:36:43.000 I wonder why it is that this isn't national news.

00:36:47.000 This doesn't make sense to me because this, you want to talk about not a political issue?

00:36:51.000 This is not a political issue.

00:36:53.000 It is.

00:36:54.000 It shouldn't be.

00:36:56.000 It shouldn't be.

00:36:57.000 It's murder and it shouldn't be political in any way at all.

00:37:00.000 And I think that they're choosing to make it political by refusing to cover it.

00:37:06.000 It bothers me a lot.

00:37:07.000 It's an issue.

00:37:08.000 We have an update from The Blaze.

00:37:10.000 Hashtag SayHisNameTrends after mainstream media's silence on the atrocious killing of five-year-old Cannon Hinnant.

00:37:17.000 Why is there a media blackout on the execution killing of a five-year-old boy who was innocently riding his bicycle?

00:37:25.000 I don't agree with the term blackout.

00:37:27.000 I think blackout implies they're all intentionally saying, don't run the story.

00:37:33.000 I think it's fair if you believe that.

00:37:35.000 If in your opinion you're like, I don't trust the media and I think they're gonna do that.

00:37:38.000 I personally wouldn't say blackout.

00:37:40.000 I would say, they don't care about you.

00:37:43.000 They don't care about this kid.

00:37:44.000 They don't care about these stories.

00:37:46.000 And I think that's worse.

00:37:48.000 That is way worse.

00:37:49.000 I think it's way worse.

00:37:50.000 I think it's one thing to imply that the media is actively seeing this and going, oh no, we better not let anyone know.

00:37:55.000 That implies they know it's bad.

00:37:57.000 And they actually understand the ramifications of a murder like this, and they're worried about what people will think.

00:38:03.000 No, I think they ignore it.

00:38:05.000 They ignore it?

00:38:06.000 You really think they ignore it?

00:38:07.000 Or you think they don't even care?

00:38:08.000 That's what I mean.

00:38:09.000 I think they see it and they go, huh.

00:38:12.000 Because they don't even see, like, what I'm trying to say is, A regular person sees a story like this and they share it.

00:38:19.000 They're like, what is this?

00:38:21.000 Why does something like this happen?

00:38:23.000 And why are there other stories like this?

00:38:24.000 There's videos of people being beaten in the street and the media won't talk about it.

00:38:29.000 It's not because I think there's a blackout.

00:38:31.000 That would imply they understand that people are shocked by this.

00:38:35.000 It's that they don't want to, they don't care.

00:38:38.000 It just doesn't faze them at all.

00:38:41.000 They're indifferent.

00:38:42.000 I was always told growing up, the opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.

00:38:46.000 I think it's right.

00:38:47.000 And that's what this is.

00:38:48.000 Complete and total indifference to the fact that we've had murders going up in this country, violent crime, and we're witnessing in various cities, the district attorneys are straight up saying, we will not prosecute.

00:39:02.000 Yeah.

00:39:03.000 Portland?

00:39:04.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:39:05.000 Chicago?

00:39:05.000 So maybe this is just because I took the Moral Foundations test and I'm really, really high in caring.

00:39:10.000 You're really high?

00:39:11.000 That's going to get clipped out of context.

00:39:15.000 I'm really high in caring.

00:39:16.000 And it baffles me that you could just discard this and just decide not to cover it.

00:39:23.000 Like what could possess you?

00:39:24.000 That's kind of ghoulish to be able to say, I don't think this is important.

00:39:28.000 I don't think this matters.

00:39:29.000 So for those that aren't familiar, it's Jonathan Haidt.

00:39:32.000 He did the Moral Foundations Test, and it's a really, really fascinating assessment.

00:39:37.000 It finds that basically conservatives have a balance of all... There's six moral foundations.

00:39:42.000 I think so, yeah.

00:39:43.000 You want to pull it up?

00:39:43.000 Yeah.

00:39:43.000 Yeah, go ahead.

00:39:45.000 So conservatives, you can pat yourselves on the back whether this matters for you or not.

00:39:48.000 Liberals, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, but it's interesting.

00:39:53.000 There are six moral foundations.

00:39:54.000 Do you have them?

00:39:55.000 Yeah, hold on.

00:39:56.000 Let me grab it.

00:39:57.000 It's like, uh, care fa- oh, you've got it.

00:39:59.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:40:01.000 Okay, do they actually list the foundations on here?

00:40:03.000 I think so.

00:40:04.000 No, I think you have to actually take the test.

00:40:05.000 No, you have to go through the whole thing.

00:40:06.000 I don't like that.

00:40:06.000 Ah, that's boo.

00:40:07.000 Here, let's, uh, do you want to just spam it?

00:40:10.000 Yeah, let's see.

00:40:10.000 Just make it crazy.

00:40:11.000 And then we'll show you this to explain what's going on.

00:40:13.000 Oh, I can just go through all the way in the middle.

00:40:14.000 We'll be super moderate.

00:40:15.000 We'll be super centrist here.

00:40:17.000 Alright, we're gonna give it a totally fake answer and see what it comes up with.

00:40:20.000 Everything might be even.

00:40:21.000 I don't know.

00:40:22.000 The moral foundations are like care, fairness, loyalty, authority, purity.

00:40:29.000 So here are the six.

00:40:31.000 Care, fairness, purity, loyalty, authority, and liberty.

00:40:35.000 And you can see here, so Lydia just spammed moderate the whole way across. 1.00

00:40:39.000 Look how moderate we are.

00:40:41.000 Yeah, but it's conservative.

00:40:42.000 It says your strongest moral foundation is loyalty.

00:40:44.000 Interesting.

00:40:44.000 Your morality is closest to that of a conservative.

00:40:47.000 Conservatives tend to have a balance of all of the moral foundations.

00:40:51.000 That's really interesting.

00:40:53.000 Very interesting.

00:40:54.000 And what's really fascinating to me about it is it's conservative, like, in general.

00:41:00.000 This is not a new thing for conservatives.

00:41:02.000 Right.

00:41:03.000 But liberals tend to have care and fairness really high.

00:41:06.000 And you can look at the blue here.

00:41:08.000 Care is at, like, 78.

00:41:11.000 Fairness is at, like, you know, 79.

00:41:12.000 And then loyalty, authority, purity, and liberty are lower.

00:41:16.000 And purity is, like, the lowest next to libertarian.

00:41:20.000 And conservatives in red are balanced across the board.

00:41:23.000 Interestingly, and I find this hilarious, libertarians are low on everything except liberty.

00:41:27.000 That kind of makes sense to me.

00:41:28.000 They're like, I don't care what you do or who you do it to.

00:41:31.000 Leave me alone.

00:41:32.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:41:33.000 But this is what's fascinating.

00:41:35.000 Authority is important to recognize, but not to just blindly follow.

00:41:39.000 We understand why authority is important to make sure a system can function and people can survive.

00:41:44.000 Right.

00:41:44.000 Purity is relatively important as well, and it has to do with avoiding disease and things like this.

00:41:51.000 Yeah, like having borders and boundaries.

00:41:52.000 Right.

00:41:53.000 Liberals, or I should say left liberal, whatever you want to call it, have like none.

00:41:58.000 They don't think that's important?

00:41:59.000 None.

00:41:59.000 They do have a decent amount of liberty, that's interesting too, but lower than conservatives.

00:42:03.000 Liberals obviously believe less in liberty than conservatives, less in authority, less in loyalty, more care and more fairness.

00:42:12.000 I challenge this.

00:42:12.000 I don't believe it.

00:42:13.000 Really?

00:42:14.000 I don't believe that care really is, I think, fairness, but I don't think they care.

00:42:20.000 Really?

00:42:21.000 Yeah, because when I talk to my, like, when I try to make a conversation with, maybe it's whatever default liberal is, when I have conversations with them and I say something like, do you ever actually ask a conservative how they feel?

00:42:37.000 Of course they don't.

00:42:38.000 So do you think it's just like an in-group thing?

00:42:40.000 Like where they really really want to protect their group?

00:42:43.000 Yes.

00:42:43.000 Yeah?

00:42:44.000 So it's very tribal?

00:42:45.000 That's why maybe fairness isn't true either.

00:42:48.000 I don't think fairness is fair either.

00:42:49.000 I gotta be completely honest because you can take a look at this.

00:42:53.000 When you have Antifa, Black Lives Matter rioters, smashing and destroying small businesses, causing suffering among those who are the most vulnerable among us, immigrant families, where are those who have care and fairness coming out and saying this was wrong? 0.68

00:43:09.000 Hmm.

00:43:10.000 You might be right.

00:43:11.000 Yeah, I don't know what it is these people are.

00:43:13.000 Maybe you'd find that the Antifa people, they score low in everything but authority.

00:43:19.000 Because I'm curious about this, right?

00:43:21.000 Yeah.

00:43:22.000 They give you a graph of left, liberal, conservative, and libertarian.

00:43:24.000 What about authoritarian?

00:43:25.000 Yeah, what about far, far, far left?

00:43:28.000 Yeah.

00:43:29.000 But not just far left, but authoritarian in general.

00:43:31.000 That's true, that's not really a... Would they have low liberty and really high authority?

00:43:35.000 Yeah, and probably really high purity.

00:43:37.000 So anyway, the reason we got into this in the context of Canon Hinnant is specifically about they don't care.

00:43:46.000 Right.

00:43:46.000 And I'm like, how can they claim to be liberal if they literally don't care about these things?

00:43:51.000 Yeah.

00:43:51.000 Certainly this story should make the average person cry.

00:43:54.000 Yeah.

00:43:55.000 Like, I mean, this was like getting punched in the chest.

00:43:58.000 Seriously.

00:43:59.000 But, you know, I've seen so many stories like this and...

00:44:03.000 I mean, even when I saw the George Floyd videos, like I was moved.

00:44:06.000 I was like, I'm like, man, even when you watch the body camera footage and you realize, look, he was resisting.

00:44:13.000 So for those that aren't familiar, they published the body camera footage.

00:44:16.000 Yeah.

00:44:16.000 Now we know he kicked his way out of the SUV.

00:44:19.000 He was saying he was resisting and he was saying, hold me on the ground, hold me on the ground several times.

00:44:26.000 I'm still upset when I see that video of him saying, I can't breathe, mama, and stuff like that.

00:44:30.000 It pains me, man.

00:44:32.000 I'm absolutely opposed to the death penalty, recognizing there's no absolutes, right?

00:44:38.000 I understand there are certain circumstances that even I have no control over.

00:44:41.000 Right.

00:44:42.000 Conflict exists, murderers exist, and sometimes, I think in the confines of the state, if you've subdued someone and they're unable to actually hurt anybody anymore, that's when I'm like, I don't think it's right to kill.

00:44:54.000 But I understand, if I saw this dude walk up to that kid and pull out a gun, that guy'd probably die.

00:44:59.000 Yep.

00:45:00.000 If I had the means, you know what I mean?

00:45:01.000 I think most people would agree, it doesn't matter who the person is, you watch them walk up to a kid and draw a gun, if you had the power, if you would snap your fingers and they would die an agonizing death and it would prevent that death, you would do it in defense of others.

00:45:14.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:45:15.000 And it's unfortunate, but this kid didn't deserve what he got.

00:45:19.000 No, man.

00:45:19.000 This family, the siblings, this poor kid, man.

00:45:23.000 Right in front of his siblings, too.

00:45:24.000 And the George Floyd thing is awful.

00:45:26.000 It's sad, that's traumatizing, and I wish that had never happened.

00:45:29.000 But at the same time, George Floyd got a heck of a lot more of a chance at life than this little 5 year old kid.

00:45:34.000 And I wish that he were getting as much attention and as much of a memory, like a memorial, as George Floyd did.

00:45:41.000 Check out these tweets.

00:45:42.000 Jason Howard says, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, zero results, zero results, zero results.

00:45:51.000 Not even a mention?

00:45:52.000 It's crazy.

00:45:53.000 I mean, if CNN ran one article where they were like, hey, this thing happened, and that was it, and there was no big, like, you know, Brian Seltzer didn't come on the air and talk about it, I'd be like, they did the story, you know what I mean?

00:46:03.000 They talk about it.

00:46:04.000 Whether or not people in politics care is entirely up to them.

00:46:08.000 It's crazy to me.

00:46:09.000 I think, you know, I was reading this Medium post from a woman named Carrie Smith about how she's a liberal and she's going to vote for Trump and it's because the left isn't liberal anymore, it's because they're lying.

00:46:18.000 She wrote about how in the 2016 cycle she was watching videos of Trump supporters being beaten and it made her cry.

00:46:24.000 Yeah, dude.

00:46:25.000 But she still believed it was like Trump was awful and all these things were really bad and these supporters were really bad.

00:46:30.000 And it wasn't until she actually talked to people that she learned these are regular people thinking, feeling human beings.

00:46:37.000 You know what I mean?

00:46:38.000 But even she had empathy when she saw these videos of Trump supporters being attacked.

00:46:42.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:46:43.000 What are these people on on Twitter that are just pure wads of hate?

00:46:50.000 It's like all the hate.

00:46:51.000 It's like it reminds me of you ever see Ghostbusters 2?

00:46:55.000 No, I'm sorry.

00:46:56.000 Okay, so in Ghostbusters 2, there's pink slime.

00:46:59.000 And when they're negative, it bubbles and expands.

00:47:02.000 And it's like, you know, it's feeding off negative energy.

00:47:04.000 Okay, okay.

00:47:04.000 That's what Twitter is.

00:47:06.000 It's like, what was the name of the bad guy from Ghostbusters 2?

00:47:09.000 I can't remember his name.

00:47:10.000 Shoot, I don't know. 0.92

00:47:11.000 Let me see. 0.94

00:47:11.000 You didn't see it. 0.94

00:47:12.000 No, I didn't see it.

00:47:13.000 It was the guy in the painting, you know, whatever.

00:47:15.000 But if, man, if they remade Ghostbusters 2's storyline today with Twitter, it's just, it's putrid.

00:47:23.000 Yeah.

00:47:24.000 And I don't even want to know what people are saying about this kid.

00:47:26.000 So we got a tweet here from Kyle Kashuv.

00:47:28.000 He says, yesterday a five-year-old was riding his bike, playing outside his house with his

00:47:32.000 two sisters.

00:47:34.000 His neighbor, with already multiple felony charges, walked up to him and shot him dead

00:47:37.000 at point blank.

00:47:38.000 Five years old.

00:47:39.000 JFC.

00:47:40.000 Where the H is the media coverage.

00:47:42.000 Say his name.

00:47:43.000 Cassandra Fairbank says, just so everyone understands, a lone woman calling the police 0.87

00:47:48.000 on a stranger threatening her dog in a park is considered national news.

00:47:53.000 The murder of Kenan Hinnant is not.

00:47:55.000 She's got a point.

00:47:56.000 Yeah, she does.

00:47:57.000 It's a huge point. 1.00

00:47:58.000 How many stupid Karen videos do they prop up? 1.00

00:48:01.000 Our news media does not serve us. 1.00

00:48:04.000 This reminds me of in Sweden.

00:48:07.000 There was a story that when I went to Sweden several years ago.

00:48:10.000 I think most people know, but for those that aren't familiar, I went to Sweden because Donald Trump said, you know, look what happened over, you know, last night in Sweden.

00:48:20.000 He was referring to a Fox News story.

00:48:23.000 Everyone took him literally because the left likes pretending they, you know, they pull him out of context.

00:48:28.000 Right.

00:48:28.000 So I decided, you know, with a friend of mine, Emily, we were gonna go and cover and do like a vlog series in Sweden to see what was really going on.

00:48:37.000 We called it Last Night in Sweden.

00:48:38.000 It was funny.

00:48:39.000 We thought it was like a funny take on going because I really thought, for the most part, that Sweden was okay.

00:48:44.000 Right.

00:48:44.000 And it kind of was.

00:48:45.000 It's got its problems.

00:48:46.000 Right.

00:48:46.000 There's a story there about someone who committed a crime who was Somali and the media blurred his face and hands and then changed the color of the pixels to make it look like he was white.

00:49:00.000 I remember that.

00:49:01.000 Yep.

00:49:02.000 And I think there's a racial component to why they don't do certain stories.

00:49:07.000 This is the problem with a hysterical media.

00:49:09.000 Telling a story about a guy murdering a kid does not make you racist.

00:49:14.000 It's not racist to highlight the fact that a grown man executed a little boy.

00:49:17.000 I don't care what their races were.

00:49:18.000 I care that it happened.

00:49:20.000 When Tamir Rice, you know the story of Tamir Rice, was playing with his toy pistol in a park and the cops ran up and shot him, I was extremely angry about this.

00:49:28.000 Of course.

00:49:29.000 Cops, you know, that's why I think there's room for reform and figuring out how to make things better. 0.99

00:49:36.000 Dude, I think this is why racism is never gonna die.

00:49:38.000 They're not gonna let it.

00:49:40.000 It earns way too much money.

00:49:42.000 It is way too lucrative.

00:49:43.000 It's way too profitable.

00:49:44.000 It gets all those clicks, dude.

00:49:46.000 And this is why they don't want the war in the Middle East to die.

00:49:50.000 Exactly.

00:49:51.000 For much the same reasons.

00:49:52.000 It's like controlled chaos.

00:49:55.000 Let it happen.

00:49:57.000 But I really don't think it's a grand conspiracy or anything like that.

00:50:00.000 I think, you know, what we see in places like Sweden, and now what we see with stories like this, it is... Oh man, I'm gonna read this.

00:50:08.000 Look.

00:50:10.000 What I wanted to end with is, there are social functions that tell you you are not allowed to say certain things because it's too close to the line no matter what.

00:50:18.000 And I've been explaining this a couple times, particularly how it pertains to COVID.

00:50:24.000 If we're not allowed to show you a doctor talking about COVID because he's got good news and we get banned for it, then the only thing you will ever see is everything's getting worse.

00:50:34.000 COVID is getting worse.

00:50:35.000 Everybody's getting sick.

00:50:36.000 And then people will just continually believe everything's worse than it is.

00:50:40.000 And then because of that, the actions taken by government and by doctors will always be

00:50:45.000 towards the most extreme and negative interpretation.

00:50:47.000 That's interesting.

00:50:49.000 There's no...

00:50:50.000 Yeah, so you need arguments.

00:50:53.000 So if the news comes out and says, this is the end of the world, it's the apocalypse,

00:50:58.000 you need another side to come out and say, well, hold on, there's some good news here.

00:51:01.000 And then people can weigh their views and say, okay, I think the truth is closer to the middle.

00:51:05.000 Right now, anybody who says anything like, this is the reason why only conservative outlets for the most part actually talk about what happened to this kid, and I think there's a racial component to it.

00:51:15.000 I think you're right.

00:51:17.000 Well, I think this, so this really boggles my mind and I don't think, I think that the fact that the media has no accounting force, I think what you said about them pushing everything toward the extreme by only giving bad news, I think that's pivotal, like that's an important point and I'm not sure anyone really considers that.

00:51:39.000 And I know that you can read the news all day, kind of like we do, and just come away thinking, you know, everything's normal.

00:51:45.000 Because everything's bad, you're normal.

00:51:47.000 Your new normal becomes everything is always bad.

00:51:50.000 And you never stop to think about how policies are being pushed one way or the other.

00:51:53.000 Yep.

00:51:54.000 Yeah, so, I mean, look, I've had deep conversations with other big podcasters and political personalities, and I'm not—you know, people have commented on how I said in the past, if YouTube came and banned me outright and just got rid of everything, I'm like, I'm gonna hop in the van, I'm gonna go down by the river and go fishing and just relax.

00:52:16.000 And I don't care if I have to, you know, if the rest of my life was backbreaking labor working on a farm to grow my own food and live a humble life.

00:52:24.000 But it's more about it's really hard to do right when it comes to information.

00:52:31.000 How many stories are we not talking about right now?

00:52:35.000 How many other people have been murdered across this country all day every day and we don't talk about them?

00:52:40.000 And so, to be honest, when I saw this first story, I'm like, man, I'm from Chicago.

00:52:45.000 You know, you show me a story like this and I roll my eyes and I say, welcome to, welcome, you know, some of the worst parts of this country.

00:52:49.000 These things happen.

00:52:51.000 And I think for this story, people took it very seriously, and I thought I was perhaps too jaded.

00:52:58.000 And I should highlight this, and I should talk about how the media has done a poor job fully recognizing that I think, even coming to the point where I felt like I should have talked about it in the first place, I feel like I'm just playing into the same media machine.

00:53:14.000 Oh, everybody starts talking about it, so then I jump on the train, and I'm like, oh, you know, look, now I'm concerned too.

00:53:18.000 And it's like, I'm concerned about all of this all the time.

00:53:21.000 But, you know, if you only hear from me, if you only watch my channels, then you're gonna get basically what I see.

00:53:29.000 And you don't see literally everything I see.

00:53:31.000 So people might have their perspective skewed by only watching my content.

00:53:35.000 One of the reasons I think YouTube is substantially better than basically any other news outlet is because I hear from a lot of people, they don't just watch me, they watch also Jimmy Dore.

00:53:44.000 Right.

00:53:45.000 Or Crowder. 0.66

00:53:47.000 And that's like, the YouTube platform has created an area where you have different opinions, sometimes arguing with each other, and debates.

00:54:00.000 So you're not getting pigeonholed by one media company that won't tell you everything and only wants it to be always negative and everything like that.

00:54:07.000 But I do think it's fair to point out, same goes for me, and literally anybody else, man, really, we only ever talk about bad things.

00:54:13.000 Well, and to be fair, there's only so many hours in the day.

00:54:15.000 There's only so many stories you can cover.

00:54:17.000 Like you cover a lot of stories.

00:54:19.000 You cover what, six different stories a day?

00:54:21.000 Like often combining things together.

00:54:24.000 And you can't cover everything.

00:54:26.000 We have like millions and millions of people in the country and a 24 hour news cycle.

00:54:30.000 There's just not a way to cover everything for everyone.

00:54:33.000 But yeah, I mean, the whole idea that it's constantly bad is kind of discouraging.

00:54:40.000 So I don't know how to fix that.

00:54:42.000 The media... I think it's... Look, I can be self-critical.

00:54:47.000 I think it's important to do so.

00:54:48.000 And I think, you know, people can criticize me.

00:54:52.000 But I think I still try to do a good job.

00:54:55.000 I still think I do a good job.

00:54:57.000 I think we do a good job.

00:54:59.000 And I want to show you this image right here.

00:55:01.000 And I want to show you what a bad job is.

00:55:03.000 This is Covington Catholic, 4,450,000 results in a half second.

00:55:10.000 Canon Hinton, 187,000 results in, you know, 0.3 of a second.

00:55:16.000 There really is no coverage of this.

00:55:19.000 Think about what Covington Catholic is.

00:55:22.000 Covington Catholic was literally a kid standing.

00:55:25.000 Smirking.

00:55:27.000 And everyone and their grandmother came out and they were like, can you believe this?

00:55:33.000 What makes viral outrage?

00:55:35.000 You know what I mean?

00:55:36.000 When I got sent that video of Covington, people were like, dude, did you see this?

00:55:40.000 And I was like, what is it?

00:55:41.000 And they were like, it's this kid.

00:55:43.000 And he got in front of a guy's face.

00:55:44.000 And I was like, it's just a video of a kid watching a guy drum.

00:55:47.000 I don't know what you care.

00:55:50.000 What is this?

00:55:51.000 And I ignored it.

00:55:52.000 And then when I saw everyone talking about it, I actually started questioning it.

00:55:57.000 I found a video that showed the Native American walk up to the kid and I was confused.

00:56:00.000 I was like, what do you mean?

00:56:01.000 Like the Native American dude walked up to the kid.

00:56:04.000 Why is everybody angry about this?

00:56:06.000 Right.

00:56:06.000 That was national news.

00:56:09.000 You know what it was?

00:56:09.000 Nobody wants it.

00:56:10.000 A negative racial component.

00:56:13.000 You're right, that's consistent.

00:56:15.000 I don't like that.

00:56:16.000 I know.

00:56:16.000 And I think this gets back to my point about racism.

00:56:19.000 I think this is why racism will never die.

00:56:21.000 Because it just drives the media and it drives the clicks and it drives the rage that people already kind of have and think they know it's part of history.

00:56:30.000 And it's creating a psychotic worldview.

00:56:34.000 Let me show you this paragraph real quick.

00:56:36.000 They say, At the time of publication, a search of Kenan Hinton produced no results on the websites of ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, or Newsweek.

00:56:46.000 It appears that Fox News was the only mainstream media to cover the horrible death of the five-year-old boy.

00:56:52.000 International news outlets such as The Sun, Daily Mail, and The Independent have reported on the boy's murder.

00:56:57.000 We are being poorly served in this country.

00:56:59.000 Well, let's go to international places they're covering.

00:57:02.000 Yeah.

00:57:03.000 I don't get it, man.

00:57:06.000 I mean, I do, obviously, but what I mean is... Like, I understand why they do it.

00:57:09.000 Right.

00:57:10.000 Why they push the stories they push.

00:57:14.000 It's safe.

00:57:16.000 It's safe.

00:57:18.000 It's born out of, I think, a somewhat fair comedic space.

00:57:24.000 Where, early on, you had comics who had no problem ragging on white people.

00:57:30.000 Because it's like, listen, man, there's an argument about punching down, punching up, and there were comics who didn't care.

00:57:36.000 They'd punch any which direction they wanted to.

00:57:37.000 Right.

00:57:38.000 But there was some, you know, some things were considered, you know, too much.

00:57:41.000 Like I said, if you only are ever allowed to hear one side of an argument, then that's the direction you're going.

00:57:47.000 Yep.

00:57:47.000 And so we've come to a point now where the news sees this, and I don't think it's necessarily a racist thing.

00:57:54.000 I think it's more of a, this story lines up with other stories that get traffic.

00:57:58.000 Right, maybe they don't even consider that there's a racial component here.

00:58:01.000 They're just like, oh, this has all the makings.

00:58:03.000 I'm not really going to put my finger on it because I don't care to think about it too much, but I'm just going to go with it because I know this is kind of in line with other stuff we've done that's really, really been big.

00:58:13.000 Yeah, it's the incentive machine where like Facebook gives you, you get the numbers.

00:58:19.000 Like Twitter and Facebook, you can see those live metrics of your story doing well and this results in a negative feedback loop.

00:58:28.000 So these media companies are like, so actually it's a really good example of Mike.com.

00:58:34.000 I'm going to say my understanding, and based on what I've read, because I could be wrong about this, and I'm saying that for legal reasons, but initially they were very libertarian.

00:58:43.000 And it's really interesting to look at some conservative commentators and go back in their history on YouTube and see how anti-cop they were.

00:58:50.000 Very critical of police and police brutality, because the libertarians don't like the state beating people and having that authority too.

00:58:57.000 Now they're very pro-cop, and I do think it's not fair to say it's simply they flip-flopped.

00:59:04.000 It's that there's a difference between saying, like, please police, stop the violent riots, and supporting police brutality or something.

00:59:10.000 Because I don't think anybody supports that.

00:59:13.000 But what ends up happening is you get sites like Mike that would put up a video of police brutality and they would get, you know, they would see the live numbers and be like, whoa!

00:59:21.000 They'd put up a video of, you know, Ron Paul giving a speech and it'd be like, meh.

00:59:24.000 So then they said, we know what butters our bread.

00:59:26.000 Pump out that anti-police, you know, videos.

00:59:29.000 So do you think it's safe to say that watching what the media does with their metrics is kind of like a glorified version of what happens to people when they're watching their own metrics?

00:59:39.000 It's like, yeah, so you know how you can feel crappy or really great depending on how people are responding to stuff that you tweet or talk about on Facebook.

00:59:47.000 You can't have that happen, man.

00:59:48.000 You really can't.

00:59:49.000 Like, how do you get away from that?

00:59:52.000 A strong mental fortitude?

00:59:55.000 Do you think we should reform 230 as far as the news stories go?

01:00:00.000 Yeah, but I don't think that's going to change how YouTube creates these feedback loops.

01:00:05.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:00:06.000 It's a little bit different.

01:00:07.000 It's so annoying when I hear, like, people saying simultaneously Tim is the slowest red pill ever, and the left saying Tim flipped as soon as he saw a right-wing audience. 1.00

01:00:17.000 I'm like, this is just so stupid. 1.00

01:00:18.000 Schrodinger's red pill. 0.99

01:00:20.000 It's just not—well, I think if you're on the left, I look like I'm on the right, and if you're on the right, I look like I'm on the left.

01:00:25.000 Yeah, so it really is like a— Being a centrist!

01:00:28.000 It's an optical illusion.

01:00:29.000 Yeah.

01:00:30.000 It's crazy when I talk to my friends and they're like, we're all in for Biden.

01:00:33.000 And I'm like, but he's the establishment politician who like supported war.

01:00:36.000 What are you talking about?

01:00:37.000 And like he gropes people and he smells girls. 0.74

01:00:39.000 Like it's weird.

01:00:40.000 Too many weird factors going on there.

01:00:43.000 You know, I see that there's these viral Facebook posts.

01:00:46.000 One of them going around right now is about Confederate statues.

01:00:51.000 And it's a bunch of facts about the Confederacy.

01:00:53.000 And it frames the argument as though Trump likes the Confederacy.

01:00:58.000 Right.

01:00:59.000 You're giving me that look.

01:01:00.000 Yeah, so I'm giving Tim this look because I know and I think you guys probably also know that the Confederacy was not part of the Republican Party.

01:01:08.000 This was never a Republican Party line.

01:01:10.000 These were Democrats.

01:01:11.000 So the idea being pushed by our new historians, we have a new history now because they're just kind of rewriting it as they go along, is that Trump wants to do this in Gettysburg because he

01:01:21.000 wanted to go to where the veterans lost. I saw a progressive journalist tweet out, so Trump

01:01:28.000 said he wants to do the acceptance speech for the RNC at maybe Gettysburg or the White House. And

01:01:33.000 then this progressive journalist quote tweeted it and said, why would you want to hold the

01:01:37.000 speech where your side lost? And I'm like, I read that. I was like, huh? And so I responded, the

01:01:43.000 Republicans won the Civil War.

01:01:44.000 Yeah, what? What are you talking about?

01:01:46.000 It was the Democrats who lost.

01:01:48.000 Yeah, the Democrats were the Confederacy.

01:01:50.000 But this viral Facebook post is like, why are so many people now defending the Confederacy and why is Donald Trump talking about their statues?

01:01:57.000 And I'm like, yeah.

01:01:58.000 And I'm like, Donald Trump specifically referenced Jefferson and Grant and Hans Christian Haig and other heroes of the Civil War that were Republicans.

01:02:09.000 I mean, Jefferson and Washington weren't because they didn't exist.

01:02:13.000 Significant figures, right.

01:02:14.000 Yeah.

01:02:15.000 And it was funny. 1.00

01:02:16.000 Somebody said, I saw one of the stupidest tweets, man. 1.00

01:02:20.000 What did they say? 1.00

01:02:21.000 Four score and seven years ago was 1933, which was the day of, like, you know, Hitler's ascension or some other ridiculous. 0.81

01:02:29.000 I know.

01:02:30.000 And I'm like, four score and seven years ago.

01:02:32.000 Is that is that what they're trying to allude to?

01:02:33.000 That he's actually going to Gettysburg, the place where where the Union won and crushed the.

01:02:40.000 That is some next level conspiracy theorizing.

01:02:44.000 I have to say, that's really impressive.

01:02:45.000 You see what Jamie Lee Curtis posted?

01:02:47.000 Oh my gosh, yeah.

01:02:50.000 A mail truck on a flatbed trailer.

01:02:52.000 What?

01:02:52.000 And she said the driver had a red hat with white letters.

01:02:56.000 Oh, you mean like towing companies use to put their, yeah.

01:03:00.000 Are Trump supporters stealing mail trucks to win the election?

01:03:04.000 Yeah.

01:03:04.000 Probably.

01:03:05.000 That is the simplest explanation, Tim.

01:03:08.000 It's, sometimes I feel like I'm trying to knock down a skyscraper with a little ball-peen hammer.

01:03:14.000 Like, how do you compete with the fake news machine when people are spreading memes like crazy that are just based off of fake news?

01:03:21.000 Trump is not coming out and saying he's defending the Confederacy.

01:03:25.000 He's coming out and saying, I was like, listen, the argument isn't about, for most people, Confederate statues.

01:03:33.000 It's about having a discussion, having a democratic process to determine, do we take it down, replace it?

01:03:39.000 Do we leave it up?

01:03:40.000 How do we take it down?

01:03:41.000 Instead, violent mobs are showing up with rope from other communities and ripping them from their bases.

01:03:46.000 And it's not even just about the Confederates.

01:03:48.000 It's literally about Grant, Hans Christian Hegg.

01:03:50.000 Somebody tore down Frederick Douglass in Rochester.

01:03:52.000 They tore down the elk.

01:03:53.000 I don't get it.

01:03:55.000 I don't understand.

01:03:55.000 So there has to be a process by which we take down statues we don't agree with.

01:03:59.000 And if you don't agree with the statue of an elk, I'm sorry for you.

01:04:02.000 You probably should reinvestigate yourself.

01:04:05.000 Seriously, what is wrong with you?

01:04:06.000 That thing was like 120 years old.

01:04:08.000 That made me sad.

01:04:08.000 That's crazy.

01:04:09.000 Like, why? 1.00

01:04:10.000 Because it was built by colonialism or whatever stupid... That's such an easy answer. 1.00

01:04:15.000 Oh, it was built by colonizers. 1.00

01:04:17.000 So I'm just gonna knock the whole thing over.

01:04:18.000 Well, I'll tell you what, man.

01:04:20.000 If I were to tell you that these people were crazy, would you believe me? 0.75

01:04:24.000 Yes, I would.

01:04:25.000 Well, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know.

01:04:27.000 I think we have, uh, oh man.

01:04:29.000 Oh, should we talk about that one first?

01:04:31.000 Who are they?

01:04:31.000 Are they?

01:04:32.000 No, we got to do this, man.

01:04:33.000 Yep.

01:04:33.000 My friends.

01:04:34.000 Yes.

01:04:35.000 I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine and they, uh, I was, I was, I was mentioning this.

01:04:40.000 They said like everybody donate to Joe Biden.

01:04:43.000 And I responded with, I will never vote for someone from the Obama administration.

01:04:47.000 Fool me once, you know, fool me twice, yada, yada, yada.

01:04:50.000 But pro-war, so no dice. 0.98

01:04:52.000 And I ultimately, you know, there was some conversation about, will they swap out Joe Biden with somebody else?

01:04:59.000 At this point, I don't think so.

01:05:00.000 I think it's Biden-Harris.

01:05:02.000 We're in it for the long haul.

01:05:04.000 Kamala Harris is clearly the frontrunner.

01:05:06.000 The ticket's inverted. 0.91

01:05:07.000 It's a silly game they're playing.

01:05:08.000 Yeah. 0.91

01:05:09.000 But, you know, maybe before this happened, it was like maybe Cuomo.

01:05:14.000 And I ultimately said, at this point, I'm likely going to be voting for Trump.

01:05:18.000 And my friend was like, not happy with it.

01:05:21.000 Like, I trust you, I've known you, and I assume you've researched this.

01:05:25.000 And I said, listen man, in California they voted to repeal civil rights law.

01:05:31.000 Like, I understand if you're a white liberal who grew up in a wealthy suburb or middle class suburb, you don't have those stories in your life from your family about what it means to have accomplished civil rights.

01:05:43.000 I remember that photo.

01:05:44.000 You've seen the photo of Bernie Sanders being arrested during the civil rights movement?

01:05:48.000 Yeah.

01:05:48.000 It's a famous photo and everyone cheers for Bernie for that.

01:05:50.000 The only problem is these people are trying to turn the clock back.

01:05:55.000 They don't support Bernie's ideas from when he fought for this.

01:05:57.000 Yep.

01:05:58.000 That meant a lot to me when I saw that photo of Bernie.

01:06:00.000 I'm like, man, here's a guy who actually fought for civil rights.

01:06:02.000 But OK, so this kind of kind of gets me too, because if you care about your friend and you know that your friend is, for example, mixed race and has a history of growing up in a mixed race household, wouldn't you be like, you know what?

01:06:14.000 I'm going to put myself in your shoes and try to understand where you're coming from and be like, maybe you're right.

01:06:20.000 Well, my friend into this is crazy.

01:06:21.000 Good.

01:06:22.000 That's great.

01:06:22.000 Yeah.

01:06:22.000 So that's what I'm saying.

01:06:24.000 You know, like these are people I've known my whole life and they literally said, I trust that you've done your research and you know what you're talking about.

01:06:31.000 But, you know, wow.

01:06:33.000 And then we had some, you know, minor private conversation and complete disagreement, but I just said, you know, do you know what it's like when you have a Democratic base in this country that has adopted a cult-like ideology based on literal racism?

01:06:50.000 What it means to my family and what we see when they literally voted to do this in California.

01:06:55.000 I'm like, all of a sudden, there are people I've known who, you know, I want to be vague enough about it, but people in my extended family who were immediately just like, they immediately saw that and they went, it's Trump it is.

01:07:08.000 Trump it is then!

01:07:09.000 Like, we've lived through this.

01:07:10.000 Yeah, not again.

01:07:10.000 We've lived through it.

01:07:11.000 Nope, sorry.

01:07:13.000 And I think, it's really easy for these leftists to say things like, We're going to do affirmative action, and it's going to be good for everybody.

01:07:24.000 Yes, there are some races that are probably going, it's good for me. 1.00

01:07:28.000 You know, if you're black in this country, they're telling you they'll benefit you, they'll give you more access if you're Latino.

01:07:34.000 If you're white or Asian, however, you know, they're saying the opposite. 0.61

01:07:38.000 But more importantly, what if you're a mix?

01:07:41.000 Yeah, the smallest minority, for example.

01:07:43.000 And all of a sudden now, everything they're proposing is like, you go to the gutter.

01:07:49.000 Right.

01:07:49.000 No matter what.

01:07:50.000 Because, especially if you come from a family like mine.

01:07:53.000 Which brings me to actual good news!

01:07:55.000 Yeah?

01:07:56.000 Good news, everybody.

01:07:57.000 Yes!

01:07:57.000 Yale illegally discriminates against white and Asian students, Justice Department says.

01:08:03.000 Boom.

01:08:04.000 Yale University's undergraduate admission process illegally discriminates against white and Asian students.

01:08:09.000 A two-year investigation into the Ivy League school found that race is the determinative factor in hundreds of admissions each year in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

01:08:21.000 The DOJ said, I'm clapping, a Yale spokeswoman responded, we are proud of Yale's admission practices and we will not change them on the basis of such a meritless, hasty accusation.

01:08:31.000 She's proud of being racist. 0.98

01:08:33.000 Two-year investigation is not a hasty accusation.

01:08:35.000 When did Bill Barr come into play?

01:08:38.000 Oh, a year and a half ago?

01:08:40.000 A couple years ago?

01:08:42.000 I don't care.

01:08:43.000 This is the DOJ, and he's running the DOJ, right?

01:08:45.000 Correct.

01:08:46.000 Yeah, I like Bill Barr.

01:08:47.000 Yep.

01:08:47.000 Look, man, I think affirmative action is... It's like a candy.

01:08:56.000 It's bait.

01:08:58.000 We're gonna do these things for you.

01:08:59.000 I'll tell you what.

01:09:01.000 You and I see from several polls over the past year, Trump really is doing well among African-Americans.

01:09:08.000 Yeah, that's been consistent.

01:09:10.000 Yeah, it has been.

01:09:12.000 And there's polls from like Emerson, which found 30 or so percent.

01:09:16.000 Shocking numbers.

01:09:17.000 I think like Rasmussen has found shocking numbers consistently.

01:09:21.000 And Rasmussen nailed it for the popular vote in 2016.

01:09:26.000 They could be wrong, but could they be this wrong this often?

01:09:30.000 Maybe.

01:09:31.000 To be fair, maybe.

01:09:33.000 But it's a big difference between polling non-college-educated white people, which they can't do, and polling, you know, African-Americans in this country.

01:09:42.000 Right.

01:09:43.000 I feel like this is probably real.

01:09:46.000 I mean, I'm seeing these viral tweets where they're like, Trump is going to get an an-historic.

01:09:52.000 An-historic.

01:09:53.000 An-historic.

01:09:54.000 They're just assuming he'll drop the H a little bit.

01:09:55.000 I don't know.

01:09:56.000 An-historic percentage of the black community to vote for him.

01:09:59.000 Yeah.

01:10:00.000 I don't know.

01:10:01.000 But I've seen posts.

01:10:03.000 Everybody wants to tell you that it's true or it's not true.

01:10:07.000 I don't know.

01:10:08.000 What I will tell you is it certainly seems like the Democrats are operating as though it's true.

01:10:12.000 The panic.

01:10:15.000 Every big brand endorsing Black Lives Matter and pushing these things.

01:10:19.000 All the racial components, I think, I seriously think that the focus on race right now is because of the fact that Trump is doing well with them.

01:10:26.000 And I'm just reminded of the super, like, I forget what percent it was.

01:10:29.000 Do you remember what the black unemployment was at before coronavirus?

01:10:32.000 No, but it was, like, historically low.

01:10:33.000 It was incredibly low.

01:10:34.000 It was the lowest it had been in, I think, 50 years.

01:10:36.000 Longer, maybe.

01:10:37.000 And I remember being like, how is the left going to respond to this?

01:10:41.000 And apparently it's by pulling out all the stops and going great guns.

01:10:44.000 Burning down cities.

01:10:45.000 Burning everything down and just destroying the economy.

01:10:49.000 I don't—we've seen the polls from Gallup, and they're behind every step of the way.

01:10:53.000 But I wonder if the whole intersectionality bit that they're embracing is because they think it will be popular among minority groups to act like—right! 0.99

01:11:02.000 I mean, especially if you're Asian.

01:11:04.000 Surprisingly, I've seen polls showing that while Donald Trump is doing tremendously well among the black community and the Latino community, not like—he's not beating the Democrats.

01:11:14.000 Right.

01:11:14.000 Still, the majority's— Way better than Republicans, right?

01:11:17.000 Historically have done.

01:11:18.000 Yes.

01:11:19.000 Right.

01:11:20.000 But Asians still like Democrats. 1.00

01:11:22.000 Yeah.

01:11:23.000 Interestingly.

01:11:24.000 And I found that interesting.

01:11:25.000 There's a couple other things like maybe it's because they're lumping Asians with every other race on these polls when they put other.

01:11:31.000 Thanks.

01:11:32.000 Thanks.

01:11:32.000 Thanks, guys.

01:11:33.000 Jeez.

01:11:34.000 That you can't get an accurate portrayal of it.

01:11:36.000 But it seems like, you know, their play isn't going to work.

01:11:42.000 I think I tell you what, man.

01:11:44.000 You've got, I think, people... I think, on average, people want to know the path to success.

01:11:51.000 And if you give someone a safe, clear path to success, they take it.

01:11:54.000 Right.

01:11:55.000 And when you back them into a corner and give them no options, they do what they have to do to survive.

01:11:59.000 And I think these Democrat-run cities are collapsing, they've become chaotic, and it is hurting marginalized groups more than ever.

01:12:07.000 100%, yeah.

01:12:08.000 Let me tell you, I told you my story about the t-shirts when I was younger.

01:12:12.000 I think I may have mentioned it on the show before.

01:12:15.000 No, this doesn't sound familiar.

01:12:16.000 Okay.

01:12:16.000 Yeah, tell me.

01:12:17.000 I'll tell you a story, and then I want to show you some racism from the mainstream media.

01:12:20.000 But I grew up on the south side of Chicago.

01:12:22.000 Very, very mixed.

01:12:22.000 Yeah.

01:12:23.000 There was this black dude who was mocking the gangbangers and other people, like I knew, who were selling drugs.

01:12:29.000 And he basically said, You can sell t-shirts, man, and make more money, and you don't go to jail. 0.86

01:12:35.000 So why would you sling dope? 1.00

01:12:37.000 That's the stupidest thing ever. 1.00

01:12:38.000 And, like, we were hanging out at a park, and people asked him, like, how do you sell t-shirts? 1.00

01:12:43.000 Like, you mean, like, on the highway?

01:12:44.000 He's like, listen, listen, listen.

01:12:46.000 Go find a venue, right?

01:12:48.000 You got these cafes, you got these venues.

01:12:51.000 They have these bands.

01:12:52.000 These bands will play, and they got no merch.

01:12:55.000 So you look at who's about to play, you call them up and say, here's what I'm gonna do.

01:12:59.000 I'm gonna make t-shirts, I'm gonna bring them, and I'm gonna give you 20% of everything I sell.

01:13:03.000 And the band say, okay.

01:13:05.000 And he's like, I tell you what I do.

01:13:06.000 He's like, I put in a couple hundred bucks, I get a bunch of, like, not even the best shirts, you know, screen printed.

01:13:12.000 I bring them to the venue, I work one day a week, I make like two grand a week.

01:13:16.000 What?

01:13:16.000 And everybody was like, whoa, these people on the South Side were told, like, you got to join a gang.

01:13:21.000 You got to sell drugs.

01:13:22.000 This is how you make money.

01:13:23.000 Nobody wants to work at McDonald's.

01:13:24.000 And this guy was like, T-shirts, bro.

01:13:26.000 That is fantastic.

01:13:27.000 They just needed someone to tell them how to do it.

01:13:29.000 Trump is doing that.

01:13:30.000 Yeah, man.

01:13:31.000 Trump is saying, here's a job.

01:13:33.000 Here's a factory.

01:13:34.000 This is for you.

01:13:35.000 This is for your community.

01:13:36.000 And people are saying, thank you.

01:13:36.000 It's going to help you succeed.

01:13:37.000 I wanted this.

01:13:39.000 Okay, so that must be why his approval rating is so high.

01:13:41.000 Because people want to feel like... Talking about the news being so bad all the time.

01:13:45.000 And before someone clips it, I mean literally all races, there are more poor white people in this country and they're being given a chance and an opportunity the same.

01:13:52.000 Right.

01:13:53.000 The opioid crisis is predominantly affecting, I think, white people.

01:13:55.000 Yeah, it is white people.

01:13:56.000 And so I think why we're seeing such support from Latinos and from... This is interesting.

01:14:02.000 Trump's losing support among white people and it's probably because they're far-left intersectionalists.

01:14:07.000 Yeah.

01:14:08.000 And then meanwhile, minorities are like, I like being, you know, like I'm like they're regular.

01:14:13.000 Like this country you'll find is why I can't stand racism.

01:14:17.000 Regular people.

01:14:18.000 We all tend to want the same things.

01:14:19.000 Yeah.

01:14:20.000 We want to we want to, you know, work a good day's work, earn our keep.

01:14:24.000 Feed your kids.

01:14:25.000 Feed your kids.

01:14:26.000 Feel accomplished.

01:14:26.000 That's it.

01:14:26.000 That's what you want.

01:14:27.000 Exactly.

01:14:28.000 I did this.

01:14:29.000 I'm doing the right thing.

01:14:30.000 Yeah.

01:14:31.000 And I think I think Trump helped create that.

01:14:33.000 COVID is destroying that.

01:14:34.000 I think people of every race across the spectrum, they want to feel a sense of hope.

01:14:39.000 And I think, I really think that that is something that Donald Trump has done really well with.

01:14:43.000 For all his other shortcomings, I have some issues with him.

01:14:47.000 Like I said, I don't really like what he's done with the deficit.

01:14:49.000 But again, I think that that is just stamp collecting.

01:14:51.000 Like Tim says, if you can give people that sense that there is something to be hopeful about, that's amazing.

01:14:59.000 Like that is actually caring about what American people want.

01:15:03.000 That's significant.

01:15:04.000 I think about surviving versus succeeding, and I think people don't want to just survive, they want to succeed.

01:15:11.000 In order to succeed, you have to be shown a path, a light at the end of the tunnel.

01:15:16.000 When people lose hope, then they're just surviving, and survival can be dangerous, it can be crime, And poverty breeds crime.

01:15:23.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:15:24.000 It's not always that these criminals are just evil who want to steal things.

01:15:29.000 I know AOC got dragged a lot for ignorantly suggesting that murder was overbred.

01:15:35.000 It wasn't.

01:15:35.000 Uh-oh.

01:15:37.000 But to be fair, if I try to actually fix her statement, petty crime is actually way down, so she was wrong.

01:15:46.000 Murder is way up, she was wrong.

01:15:49.000 But there is a lot of crime based on survival.

01:15:52.000 Yeah.

01:15:53.000 But if you can give someone a job at a, say, meat processing plant, when Trump had federal law enforcement arrest non-citizen workers – I'm being diplomatic, I understand, I know – and these people got deported, we saw a bunch of people, locals, immediately took the job.

01:16:15.000 And it was people of all races.

01:16:16.000 And they were asked about it, and they said, this pays better than McDonald's.

01:16:20.000 Yeah.

01:16:20.000 So why were they bringing in, you know, non-citizen labor to do the job?

01:16:24.000 It makes you wonder.

01:16:25.000 Well, Trump, it was part of what he was doing that opened up these jobs to people who really just wanted an honest, good day's work, and they struggled to find it.

01:16:35.000 So Trump lowers unemployment.

01:16:37.000 This makes it, you know what's crazy is, There's a lot of, there's a lot of things about Trump and it's his character that really sets him back.

01:16:44.000 There were things he did early on that he didn't know what he was doing.

01:16:47.000 I think, you know, John Bolton is an easy, easy, easy example.

01:16:51.000 He's improved greatly.

01:16:52.000 He's calmed a lot.

01:16:53.000 He's calmed down a bit.

01:16:55.000 And he still has, he's still a man of bad moral character.

01:17:00.000 And I know some people are going to be like, what is that supposed to mean, Tim?

01:17:02.000 Come on.

01:17:03.000 Like what did he like cheated on his wife?

01:17:05.000 So he cheated on his wife and I, I, I don't know.

01:17:05.000 Yeah.

01:17:09.000 People talk about how he's not like the type of person that you'd have over for dinner, but you could vote for him.

01:17:14.000 And I'm like, fine.

01:17:15.000 I don't need you to be my best friend.

01:17:17.000 I need you to follow through on some of this stuff.

01:17:19.000 And in fact, I think that the concept of giving the American people hope is a mark of character.

01:17:26.000 To me, that marks out a lot of his other shortcomings.

01:17:29.000 That's huge.

01:17:30.000 That's a really big deal.

01:17:32.000 He loses women because of it.

01:17:34.000 Because of the way he's like, you know, it's funny to see people laugh when he made fun of Rosie O'Donnell, but this is what contributes to him losing a lot of female voters.

01:17:44.000 I'll tell you what, though, Trump tweeted out recently, he's like, the suburban housewife is going to vote for me because she wants safety.

01:17:49.000 He might be right.

01:17:50.000 I think so.

01:17:51.000 I think the riots were a big mistake and Democrats should have denounced it.

01:17:54.000 Now they want to bring on Kamala as though she's going to be their law and order savior. 0.99

01:17:57.000 And it's like, no, no, no, I'm sorry.

01:17:59.000 If you've got riots and you respond with a despot, you've created two extremes that I don't want anything to do with.

01:18:06.000 Okay?

01:18:07.000 Peaceful protest is fine.

01:18:08.000 Riots are bad.

01:18:09.000 Kamala locking up people in very crazy and cringy and scary ways.

01:18:13.000 Not okay.

01:18:14.000 Two things can be bad at once, apparently.

01:18:16.000 You've just adopted two authoritarian standpoints on this.

01:18:21.000 Let me show you this tweet.

01:18:21.000 Great.

01:18:22.000 It's an eye roll.

01:18:25.000 Oh boy.

01:18:26.000 Julia, how do you pronounce her name?

01:18:27.000 Ioffe?

01:18:27.000 Ioffe.

01:18:28.000 Ioffe?

01:18:28.000 Ioffe, yeah.

01:18:29.000 Is that really how you pronounce it?

01:18:30.000 It's Italian.

01:18:30.000 I'm just kind of making it up.

01:18:32.000 Here's the story.

01:18:33.000 Washington Post.

01:18:34.000 Justice Department accuses Yale of illegal bias against white Asian Americans.

01:18:38.000 And she says Bill Barr is fighting hard for white folks.

01:18:42.000 What?

01:18:43.000 She completely ignored Asians.

01:18:43.000 But what?

01:18:46.000 Dude, it's like they don't exist.

01:18:48.000 And I don't understand that.

01:18:50.000 They don't care.

01:18:52.000 This is why I said I don't believe that the liberals of this country have a high care marker in their moral foundations.

01:18:59.000 I care about white people and Asian people.

01:18:59.000 Yeah.

01:19:01.000 I care about black people and Latino people, and I want everyone to have a laugh and hang out and play music together.

01:19:06.000 I don't get it.

01:19:08.000 You know what, man?

01:19:09.000 I am not conservative.

01:19:11.000 And as much as it's crazy how the left tries to frame it, and I think it really easily comes down to like, I mean, for one, abortion issues.

01:19:20.000 Like, I'm very clearly liberal on so many of these issues that have been historically aligned with Democrats, but the left has just jumped off the cliff.

01:19:28.000 And I say it enough, but it's true. 0.71

01:19:30.000 And so now when I see people like, Juliet, we know you're ignoring that Asians exist.

01:19:37.000 Like this was the primary target of these universities because the largest proportion of people who are going there were Asian.

01:19:43.000 And guess what?

01:19:43.000 Yeah.

01:19:44.000 The best part is Asian doesn't just mean one race. 1.00

01:19:47.000 These people are so racist. 1.00

01:19:48.000 That is incredibly racist. 0.99

01:19:50.000 Let's try.

01:19:50.000 Let's play a game.

01:19:50.000 Okay.

01:19:51.000 Okay.

01:19:52.000 Filipinos are Asian.

01:19:53.000 Chinese people are Asian.

01:19:54.000 Indians are Asian.

01:19:56.000 Oh.

01:19:57.000 Yeah.

01:19:57.000 Malaysians and I mean you can some people would say Pacific Islander for some

01:20:02.000 countries but no like it is it is an eclectic diverse region that what people

01:20:07.000 don't realize when it comes to how they actually chart whether you're Asian or

01:20:11.000 not Indian immigrants are one of the highest proportions of people who get

01:20:16.000 into these schools and they assume it's all like you know Asian as in Chinese or

01:20:21.000 something.

01:20:22.000 Thank you.

01:20:23.000 That's what they see in their head.

01:20:25.000 And you get things like Joe Biden, you know, when he said, the average person can't tell the difference between, you know, someone from Korea or China or something.

01:20:31.000 I can't believe, I'm like, have you ever seen these people, dude?

01:20:34.000 What are you talking about?

01:20:34.000 Yeah.

01:20:36.000 To me, Joe Biden erasing, like, the presence of Indian people and Indonesian people and Filipino people, Kind of shocking, because I would never do that, and they call me racist all day and night, but I actually care about Asian people going to Yale.

01:20:48.000 That's significant.

01:20:50.000 It really annoys me to beat the dead horse that we know the Democrats have adopted racism as a strategy to try and win, and I wonder if what they're thinking is, Racists exist in all races.

01:21:04.000 I know this personally from visiting South Korea and from having Korean family. 0.92

01:21:10.000 They're really racist.

01:21:12.000 They're not just racist against other Asian countries. 0.97

01:21:16.000 They're racist against everybody.

01:21:18.000 It unites us.

01:21:19.000 We're all just kind of racist.

01:21:21.000 It is changing.

01:21:21.000 So I visited South Korea and it's really fascinating.

01:21:25.000 I've been told outright by many people who are like probably Gen X-er, boomer, that if I actually grew up there or tried to live there, I'd be treated like a second-class citizen.

01:21:34.000 I'm not— I understand, you know, I'm mostly white and all that stuff, but I have, you know, family history in Seoul and in some other towns, and they were like, no way.

01:21:43.000 They're like ethno-supremacists.

01:21:45.000 It's changing with the younger generations.

01:21:47.000 So I don't know— I don't want to pretend like I know everything about the country, because I've only visited it— I've only been there, I think, one time.

01:21:53.000 And I didn't spend an extended amount of time there.

01:21:55.000 And even, you know, my mom is born and raised in America.

01:21:58.000 But that I've been told this by regional experts, journalists.

01:22:02.000 And when I went there, like they're they're they're like super racist.

01:22:06.000 And Japan is, too.

01:22:08.000 I have heard that. Yeah. Yeah.

01:22:10.000 And so we end up with this story.

01:22:12.000 I have it a million times because this to me, California Proposition 16

01:22:17.000 repeal Prop 209 Affirmative Action Amendment was like I didn't believe it.

01:22:23.000 I didn't believe it.

01:22:23.000 I didn't know it existed until they'd already voted on it.

01:22:27.000 And then it was Tucker Carlson who brought it up.

01:22:29.000 It's gotta be a joke, right?

01:22:31.000 He does his homework.

01:22:32.000 civil rights legislation from their constitution in California and I went

01:22:35.000 there's no way that's true there's no joke but I don't I don't think Tucker

01:22:39.000 Carlson's a liar. He does his homework. I might disagree.

01:22:43.000 He's had some questionable moments like when it came to pot legalization and there was

01:22:48.000 um I mean what was it he had he had somebody on I can't remember

01:22:52.000 There's been a few moments where I'm like, come on.

01:22:54.000 But for the most part, I think he's the best guy on TV.

01:22:56.000 I really do.

01:22:57.000 And I think even if you disagree with him, he's a general populist.

01:23:00.000 And it's crazy how I say this, and all of a sudden the left screams and they take a screengrab of it and they're like, Tim is praising Tucker Carlson!

01:23:06.000 Tucker Carlson's far right!

01:23:07.000 Blah blah blah!

01:23:08.000 He's not...

01:23:09.000 Not really.

01:23:10.000 He's not.

01:23:11.000 Did you see that exchange between him and Hannity when he was like, companies profiting off of a pandemic?

01:23:15.000 That was so weird to me.

01:23:16.000 I was like, I kind of knew that about Sean Hannity, although I have, I have independently limited my exposure to Sean Hannity as much as possible for obvious reasons.

01:23:26.000 But seeing that exchange between him and Tucker was like, oh my gosh, dude.

01:23:29.000 Tucker's face.

01:23:31.000 Because he's like transferring the show and Hannity goes, these are Fox News personals, most of you probably know that.

01:23:36.000 And he's like, if a business wants to provide a service and they make good, you know, money off it, so be it.

01:23:41.000 And then Tucker did the brow thing.

01:23:42.000 Yeah.

01:23:43.000 Where he's like, looked at the camera.

01:23:44.000 Labrador thing.

01:23:45.000 The Labrador thing.

01:23:46.000 Yeah.

01:23:47.000 Yeah.

01:23:48.000 This is what you can show your friends.

01:23:50.000 California Prop 16, Repeal Proposition 209, Affirmative Action Amendment 2020.

01:23:55.000 They say a yes vote supports the constitutional amendment to repeal provision 209 which says the state cannot discriminate against or grant preferential preferential treatment to persons on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in public employment, public education and public contracting.

01:24:15.000 To be very, very clear, it's specifically about state-level public employment, education, and contracting.

01:24:22.000 They call it the Affirmative Action Amendment.

01:24:24.000 I believe that is unfair, because all it does is strike this language that stops the state from discriminating.

01:24:30.000 However, repealing it would allow them to do affirmative action.

01:24:34.000 Me?

01:24:35.000 I don't care.

01:24:36.000 I don't care what you call it.

01:24:37.000 I don't care what you think it's going to do for you.

01:24:40.000 This right here should be more than enough for anybody to be like, how is this literally a thing?

01:24:46.000 Listen, we recently had a Supreme Court ruling saying that sex meant gender identity and orientation.

01:24:53.000 Will that impact what this legislation means now?

01:24:55.000 Better believe it.

01:24:57.000 So does that mean that in California, if they repeal this, there can be a public job announcement saying, you know, straight white men only.

01:25:04.000 Of course.

01:25:04.000 And it would be legal.

01:25:06.000 Yeah.

01:25:08.000 I can't, I show this to my friends.

01:25:09.000 They don't know it exists.

01:25:11.000 And what's going to happen is come November, it's going to be on the referent, it's going to be on the, there's going to be a referendum for it.

01:25:15.000 And then people are going to be like, oh, affirmative action, you know, they're going to boop.

01:25:19.000 Yep.

01:25:20.000 And there it is.

01:25:21.000 They say California is a few years away from... They're a few years ahead of the rest of the country.

01:25:26.000 A few years ahead of us.

01:25:27.000 Yeah.

01:25:27.000 And I found this to be true.

01:25:29.000 I mean.

01:25:29.000 Almost all the time, unfortunately.

01:25:31.000 They banned Uber.

01:25:33.000 Yeah, dude.

01:25:34.000 So, for those that don't know, I think Uber is done in California.

01:25:37.000 Yeah, because of the gig workers.

01:25:39.000 They're trying to make equal rights for gig workers and cancelling people's jobs and livelihoods.

01:25:45.000 Like, first it was the journalists, right?

01:25:47.000 The freelance writers.

01:25:49.000 And now it's Uber and Lyft drivers.

01:25:51.000 People who are just trying to make a little extra money on the weekend.

01:25:54.000 And it's like, what are you doing?

01:25:56.000 So this was a Democratic proposal.

01:25:58.000 It's called Assembly Bill 5.

01:26:00.000 It limits gig workers.

01:26:02.000 It was pushed heavily by unions.

01:26:04.000 And the journalists, man, when they started freaking out, right away I was like, I can't hire contractors in California.

01:26:10.000 Okay, good to know.

01:26:12.000 I mean, you can, but like once or twice.

01:26:15.000 Basically, I think journalists can only write 35 times.

01:26:19.000 But some of these contractors have multiple contracts.

01:26:22.000 This makes sense.

01:26:24.000 The way I explain it is, Let's say you like to pick up pieces of wood on the beach and whittle it into a little boat.

01:26:32.000 You did that work and then you say, I say to you, I say, Lydia, I have this little Tim, this little man.

01:26:38.000 It's adorable.

01:26:38.000 It's a little me.

01:26:39.000 Yeah, he's really cute.

01:26:40.000 And I have made such art, I would like to sell it to you.

01:26:43.000 Okay.

01:26:43.000 And the state says you can't do that because you're not an employee.

01:26:46.000 Oh.

01:26:47.000 That's what AB5 basically is doing now.

01:26:49.000 If I write something and want to sell it to a company, I can't now.

01:26:54.000 The state is telling me I can't literally sell a good.

01:26:57.000 It gets complicated now when it comes to Uber.

01:27:01.000 The way Uber and Lyft essentially was working was that, you do your thing, man.

01:27:05.000 We'll just connect you with people.

01:27:07.000 Right.

01:27:07.000 Which is fantastic.

01:27:08.000 A judge ruled that Uber has to have all the people be employees.

01:27:14.000 And so, I guess Uber said this, right?

01:27:16.000 They were like, if you don't rethink this, California, we will shut down Uber in the entire state.

01:27:23.000 Yep.

01:27:24.000 Talk about a state with bad leadership burning itself to the ground.

01:27:31.000 I was talking to a friend in L.A.

01:27:32.000 who said it's worse than it's ever been.

01:27:34.000 Yeah, I was talking to a friend in Fresno who said the exact same thing. 0.99

01:27:36.000 Garbage is everywhere. 0.99

01:27:37.000 Dude, violence. 0.99

01:27:39.000 Yeah.

01:27:39.000 You can witness anything you like on your front, you know, your front porch.

01:27:44.000 This brings me back to, like, the media bias.

01:27:47.000 I wonder, like, how many of you listening or watching live in a rural area or a suburban area?

01:27:52.000 I'd be curious to know.

01:27:53.000 Yeah, because we're in the suburbs, so we don't see what's going on in the big cities.

01:27:59.000 I mean, we're not going to go there.

01:28:00.000 Nope, I'm good.

01:28:01.000 Yeah, I don't want to go there.

01:28:03.000 But I was reading an article about New York, for one, mass exodus.

01:28:08.000 The moving companies are straight up like, it's moving day and we're overwhelmed and overbooked to move people out of New York City.

01:28:15.000 But I was reading from other people who said that the city really is barren, like Manhattan especially, because there's no stores.

01:28:21.000 And I'm like, I kind of want to see it.

01:28:25.000 Yeah.

01:28:25.000 Empty streets.

01:28:26.000 Well, that would have been kind of like driving across California with absolutely no one else on the street.

01:28:31.000 It was surreal.

01:28:32.000 When we were driving through L.A., the streets were open, wide open.

01:28:37.000 It was rush freaking hour.

01:28:39.000 It was 5 p.m.

01:28:40.000 and there was no one on the road.

01:28:43.000 And I felt like I was in a zombie movie.

01:28:45.000 It was so strange.

01:28:46.000 And then when I went to Philly, I went to Philly a couple of weeks ago.

01:28:49.000 And I don't know if it was because of coronavirus or because Philly is a dump. 0.94

01:28:52.000 But there was garbage everywhere.

01:28:54.000 Like it was piled on the street corners.

01:28:56.000 I saw a rat.

01:28:57.000 I saw my first rat in Philadelphia.

01:28:59.000 I was like, this is wonderful.

01:29:00.000 I'm really glad to be here.

01:29:01.000 This is very enriching.

01:29:02.000 Get out of the cities.

01:29:03.000 Dude.

01:29:04.000 Yeah.

01:29:04.000 Like who would stay there?

01:29:05.000 And we, and I walked past these really, really nice apartments.

01:29:09.000 I was like, I wonder how much these apartments cost to rent because right in front of them, whoops, bumped my mic.

01:29:14.000 There's this huge like wall of garbage and just literally rats running through it.

01:29:19.000 And I was like, oh dude, I would never live here.

01:29:22.000 The rats can't get food anymore because there's no scraps.

01:29:24.000 That's right.

01:29:25.000 So they're coming out and hunting.

01:29:27.000 During the day, dude.

01:29:28.000 I read something about somebody getting chased by rats, I think.

01:29:31.000 Oh my gosh.

01:29:32.000 Maybe this was not real.

01:29:34.000 I hope not.

01:29:34.000 Sounded like a bad tweet.

01:29:35.000 Yeah, you gotta Google it.

01:29:36.000 Fact check me on this one.

01:29:37.000 I remember seeing a tweet where they were talking about how in all of these cities, because there's no food anymore, the rats are starting to starve.

01:29:46.000 So they're coming out desperate and they're going on hunts in packs.

01:29:50.000 Yup.

01:29:50.000 And did you see the rat war?

01:29:52.000 No.

01:29:53.000 Yeah, there's like rat gang wars.

01:29:55.000 Because they fight over food.

01:29:56.000 That sounds right.

01:29:57.000 Remember the baboon gang war? 0.95

01:29:58.000 Yes.

01:29:58.000 It was baboons, right?

01:29:59.000 Yeah, yeah, because there were no more tourists.

01:30:01.000 Yup.

01:30:01.000 Yeah, and they would flock out into the street.

01:30:03.000 Man.

01:30:05.000 We've created like, I don't know, what do you call that?

01:30:08.000 Animal dystopia?

01:30:10.000 It's like, in our wake as human civilization, we have created dependent subclass communities. 0.92

01:30:19.000 Pigeons and rats and these monkeys overseas.

01:30:21.000 Oh man.

01:30:23.000 You know what's always tripped me out?

01:30:25.000 Pigeons are literally our garbage turning into living things and flying away.

01:30:30.000 That is a horrible, yeah. 0.99

01:30:31.000 Yeah, if I told somebody like, in America, our garbage grows wings and flies away. 0.89

01:30:36.000 People would be like, what are you talking about? 0.84

01:30:37.000 Hear me out.

01:30:38.000 Sounds crazy.

01:30:39.000 A guy's walking down the street, he's got a cheeseburger in his hand, and he slams it on the ground because he's lazy and, you know.

01:30:45.000 And now there's festering food, a pigeon swoops down, they all eat it.

01:30:48.000 That food breaks it down in their bellies, turns into eggs and more pigeons.

01:30:52.000 Our garbage literally gets converted into birds.

01:30:54.000 That's interesting.

01:30:55.000 And then our garbage flies away. 0.80

01:30:56.000 And then comes back to pester us.

01:30:59.000 I mean, not really.

01:30:59.000 Pigeons kind of, well, they poop on stuff.

01:31:01.000 Yeah.

01:31:01.000 But have you ever seen a baby pigeon?

01:31:03.000 They're so ugly.

01:31:04.000 You've never seen one, have you? 0.92

01:31:05.000 No, well, I haven't seen one in person.

01:31:06.000 You Googled one.

01:31:07.000 Yeah, I did Google one because they're really freaking weird looking.

01:31:10.000 I think it is a privilege. 0.98

01:31:12.000 I think it is a privilege that our garbage flies away.

01:31:14.000 Could you imagine if there were no pigeons? 0.94

01:31:15.000 Garbage everywhere just rotting in the streets.

01:31:17.000 That's true.

01:31:18.000 Pigeons clean it up and they leave.

01:31:19.000 But yeah, so now because there's no people, the pigeons are flying off.

01:31:23.000 Yeah.

01:31:23.000 That's easy for them.

01:31:24.000 Right.

01:31:24.000 But the rats have nowhere to go.

01:31:26.000 They're coming out of the ground.

01:31:27.000 They're coming out in packs.

01:31:29.000 You know what, man, we can, we can complain about Antifa and the far left all day and night, but you know what really scare me?

01:31:33.000 Like if I see an Antifa guy, I know there's certain limits to what they've done and what they can do.

01:31:38.000 If I see a far right guy, like I'll avoid them both.

01:31:41.000 I mean, far right is in like, you know, the colloquial, like the real extremist, whatever.

01:31:45.000 If I see an extremist, I don't care what their political ideology is.

01:31:47.000 I'll go the other way.

01:31:48.000 I'm on my own business. 0.98

01:31:49.000 I see a large group of rats like running around ravenous.

01:31:54.000 I'm running full speed.

01:31:55.000 Yeah, seriously.

01:31:56.000 Because you get rabies.

01:31:57.000 Yep.

01:31:58.000 I don't know, maybe.

01:31:58.000 You get all sorts of illnesses.

01:32:00.000 Yeah.

01:32:01.000 Okay, the bubonic plague was carried by rats.

01:32:03.000 I'm just going to throw that out there.

01:32:04.000 Well, that was the fleas, wasn't it?

01:32:05.000 Yeah, so the fleas on the rats.

01:32:06.000 Okay.

01:32:06.000 So if you touch a rat, obviously you're in deep trouble.

01:32:09.000 But rabies, man.

01:32:11.000 I mean, I don't want to end up like Joe Jorgensen.

01:32:13.000 That's what I was just going to say.

01:32:14.000 You don't want to get bitten by a bat.

01:32:15.000 We're supposed to be the ones biting the bats, not vice versa.

01:32:18.000 That was a crazy thing.

01:32:19.000 Did you guys see this?

01:32:20.000 Joe Jorgensen, she's a libertarian candidate. 1.00

01:32:22.000 She got bit by a bat, had to get a... She had to go get shots, like a series of shots.

01:32:25.000 A rabies shot.

01:32:26.000 Yeah.

01:32:27.000 I hope she's okay.

01:32:28.000 I really mean it.

01:32:28.000 I mean, this is like a crazy thing to happen.

01:32:31.000 Look, you know, when I see stories like this, I can't help but laugh at the absurdity of it.

01:32:35.000 Don't you have to wonder what she was doing to get bit by a bat?

01:32:39.000 Like, she wasn't exactly on stage like Ozzy Osbourne trying to bite the bat, and the bat was just like, oh my gosh, I need self-defense. 0.98

01:32:44.000 She was probably just like, I don't know, cleaning her attic or something?

01:32:47.000 It's so weird to me.

01:32:48.000 I was like, how do you get bitten by a bat?

01:32:49.000 That's kind of cool.

01:32:51.000 I've seen a bat one time out here.

01:32:52.000 Uh-huh.

01:32:53.000 So, we've got a deck.

01:32:55.000 Like, you can go on and it's like, you know, it's elevated.

01:32:58.000 And I've seen, like, they're kind of weird when you see them.

01:33:00.000 I think they're birds at first.

01:33:02.000 But they fly weird.

01:33:03.000 They flop around.

01:33:05.000 And if they bite you, you gotta get a bunch of shots in your stomach or something?

01:33:08.000 Those are the rabies shots.

01:33:10.000 Have you ever seen that happen?

01:33:11.000 I have not seen that happen.

01:33:12.000 Do you know how it works?

01:33:13.000 Yeah, so I didn't work in a doctor's office.

01:33:15.000 I would see the nurses administer some of the shots.

01:33:17.000 I mean, and you would go and get shots from the nurses, charge nurse and doctors who were there.

01:33:22.000 But I never saw a rabies shot administered. 0.99

01:33:24.000 Some of them you got to get in your butt. 0.99

01:33:26.000 Sounds horrible. 0.99

01:33:27.000 For rabies?

01:33:27.000 No, not rabies.

01:33:28.000 Rabies is the stomach.

01:33:30.000 Your stomach. 0.96

01:33:31.000 Also awful.

01:33:32.000 We're like into your stomach.

01:33:34.000 I don't think it's the organ.

01:33:37.000 I think it's into the adipous tissue there, as far as I know.

01:33:39.000 Weird.

01:33:40.000 So your belly fat, I believe.

01:33:42.000 Fact check me on this one.

01:33:43.000 Man, I'm glad we have these vaccines, dude.

01:33:45.000 Rabies is scary.

01:33:46.000 I am too, but it sounds awful.

01:33:47.000 People think it's like a zombie thing.

01:33:49.000 It's not.

01:33:50.000 Not at all.

01:33:50.000 You can't swallow.

01:33:51.000 You keep spitting.

01:33:53.000 You start convulsing.

01:33:54.000 I think it dehydrates you really bad.

01:33:55.000 Yeah, because you can't swallow.

01:33:57.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:33:58.000 And then you get foaming at the mouth.

01:34:01.000 You do not want to get bit by a rat, man.

01:34:02.000 Don't get bit by a bat either. 0.88

01:34:04.000 We'll turn you into a libertarian.

01:34:05.000 Well, for most of you, you probably know, we'll mention this.

01:34:11.000 Crowder got his money back.

01:34:12.000 He did.

01:34:12.000 Yeah, this is really cool.

01:34:13.000 YouTube will let Steven Crowder run ads after a year-long suspension for harassment.

01:34:18.000 I think that's BS.

01:34:19.000 I don't think he actually got suspended for harassment.

01:34:21.000 I think they said he didn't break any rules, didn't they?

01:34:24.000 Well, the thing with Carlos, right, Carlos Maza, I think is what they're considering harassment or whatever.

01:34:29.000 So it sounds like classic YouTube nonsense.

01:34:32.000 I don't really know if it was actual harassment or it's just YouTube's interpretation.

01:34:36.000 You know what I think?

01:34:37.000 I think they were like, we have no choice because of the media wave.

01:34:43.000 Yeah.

01:34:43.000 To do something?

01:34:44.000 Yeah.

01:34:44.000 But don't worry, we'll figure it out.

01:34:46.000 Well, I remember thinking at the time, I was like, there's so much pressure on them to do something.

01:34:51.000 Kind of like they're trying to exert pressure on Facebook right now.

01:34:53.000 They have to do something.

01:34:55.000 So they're probably going to like suspend him or whatever.

01:34:57.000 And they sure did for a whole year, dude.

01:35:00.000 So why did they decide to give him his ads back?

01:35:02.000 They were always reviewing him.

01:35:03.000 All the time?

01:35:06.000 My understanding is that he had to clean up his act.

01:35:09.000 There were certain things he couldn't have on the show, but they would reinstate him.

01:35:14.000 It is interesting, he didn't break any rules, but they were like, it's a rock and a hard place.

01:35:21.000 I think they should have stood firm.

01:35:23.000 But there is a legitimate challenge when, like, if somebody came to me and said, we are going to shut down your entire business completely, you know, unless you do one small thing, you'll find a lot of people would say yes to it.

01:35:39.000 Like for me, for instance, I won't say the name of the creepy whistleblower guy because they'll delete the stream instantly.

01:35:45.000 And for me, I have my line.

01:35:47.000 Well, we like talking to people, so we're not... Well, no, no, like, I'll tell you what, like, I cannot say someone's name.

01:35:53.000 I'm like, whatever.

01:35:54.000 Right.

01:35:54.000 But, like, you know, when it came to... I did a segment on masks and, like, hydroxychloroquine and stuff, and I'm like, if they ban me, they ban me.

01:36:01.000 Like, I swear to God, like, I have my limits.

01:36:03.000 If the news is legit and it's certified and we've got doctors, I'm saying it.

01:36:07.000 You know what I mean?

01:36:08.000 And maybe they'll give me the X.

01:36:10.000 But I think what's happening is YouTube is saying, listen man, everybody will lose their monetization in an adpocalypse unless we do something.

01:36:19.000 So you can jump on the grenade or adpocalypse.

01:36:22.000 Right.

01:36:23.000 And I think YouTube said, you know, that's what we're going to go for.

01:36:26.000 I completely disagree with this, with doing these things.

01:36:28.000 Right.

01:36:29.000 I think, you know, there are lines and limits.

01:36:32.000 Like, if I don't say a guy's name, I can still let you know that there is a name you can't say.

01:36:36.000 You can Google this, and it has to do with a CIA whistleblower, and Ukraine, and, you know, now you'll find the person, and you can then investigate yourself.

01:36:45.000 If I get myself banned, I can't tell you that.

01:36:46.000 However, I will never withhold vital and important news, even if it means the end.

01:36:52.000 YouTube deciding I can sacrifice an individual because we're scared for the collective, to me, is how you get into authoritarianism.

01:36:58.000 Yeah.

01:36:59.000 So Crowder, who broke no rules, gets negatively impacted.

01:37:02.000 And I'm not OK with that.

01:37:03.000 Yeah.

01:37:03.000 What's that saying?

01:37:03.000 You've got to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

01:37:05.000 You're willing to sacrifice a few people to the greater good.

01:37:08.000 What is it like a deontological philosophy versus?

01:37:12.000 I think that's what it is, but I haven't really gotten into that very much.

01:37:15.000 Yeah, like I think utilitarian is like the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few versus deontological

01:37:21.000 where it's like You must protect the individual because the individual

01:37:24.000 there is no collective without an individual.

01:37:26.000 Yeah, I'm toward the end of that.

01:37:27.000 I think YouTube was wrong in this.

01:37:28.000 I think Crowder broke no rules, and if they came to me and said, there's an adpocalypse because of what Crowder did, I'd be like, well, Crowder didn't do anything wrong, so that's your responsibility.

01:37:37.000 And while you're going to lose ad revenue now, I'd be like, that's too bad, isn't it?

01:37:41.000 I would not support a negative action against someone who did no wrong to benefit myself.

01:37:46.000 YouTube should have absolutely stood their ground and said, he didn't break any rules.

01:37:50.000 Sorry.

01:37:51.000 You're stronger than YouTube, I think.

01:37:53.000 They're being kind of weak.

01:37:55.000 Hopefully.

01:37:55.000 How about we do Super Chats?

01:37:56.000 Yes, let's do it.

01:37:57.000 Super Chats. 0.91

01:37:58.000 Oh yeah.

01:37:59.000 David Mesmer says, Would you still consider inviting Adam on Friday jam sessions?

01:38:03.000 I think that would satiate the actual peaceful protesters in the chat.

01:38:07.000 It makes for a really nice start to the weekend.

01:38:09.000 Yeah, I think there's, like, you know, I know a lot of people want Like a legitimate deep dive breakdown of everything that happened.

01:38:18.000 And it's really just personal issues.

01:38:21.000 It's not the biggest deal in the world.

01:38:22.000 It's not.

01:38:23.000 I just, I try to respect people's privacy.

01:38:25.000 So we have to see how, you know, things go and how changes happen.

01:38:29.000 And I'm, I'm sure most of the super chats are going to be specifically about this.

01:38:32.000 So I'll try to, you know, I'll do my best to answer the best I can.

01:38:36.000 It's about all I can do.

01:38:38.000 And the super chats are bouncing around, making it difficult.

01:38:40.000 No.

01:38:41.000 Caitlin Robinson says, you guys are awesome.

01:38:44.000 Just so you know, the Justice for Canon GoFundMe has now raised $225,000!

01:38:46.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:38:47.000 That's awesome!

01:38:48.000 Okay, that makes me really happy.

01:38:52.000 Definitely.

01:38:53.000 I really like that.

01:38:54.000 I was bummed when I read that it was only a few thousand.

01:38:56.000 I was too.

01:38:56.000 And it's not going to bring him back, but it's going to help his family.

01:38:59.000 That's really neat.

01:39:00.000 The Grizzly says, first off, I would like to say I'm disappointed in the chat's behavior.

01:39:05.000 Yes, Adam is gone, but he wouldn't like to see you guys acting like this.

01:39:07.000 Anyway, I live in a rural farm.

01:39:09.000 Think I told you this during the Chazz Farm.

01:39:11.000 It's all pro-Trump out here.

01:39:13.000 I'd be willing to bet it's pro-Trump everywhere.

01:39:15.000 As much as we're talking about the silent majority, I've not seen Biden signs.

01:39:20.000 I've seen Trump flags and signs.

01:39:20.000 I really haven't either.

01:39:22.000 You better believe I've been looking for him.

01:39:23.000 We drove past that little lake again and guess what is still there in the middle of the lake?

01:39:28.000 It's really bleached.

01:39:29.000 You can hardly see it.

01:39:30.000 There's a bunch of grass and like pot lip lily pads and everything.

01:39:36.000 It's a Trump flag.

01:39:37.000 Yeah, it is.

01:39:38.000 It's not a Biden flag.

01:39:39.000 It is a swamp.

01:39:40.000 I've never seen one of those.

01:39:41.000 It's not even a lake.

01:39:42.000 The Garden State is taking over.

01:39:43.000 In the winter, you could see the water.

01:39:45.000 Yeah, because everything was dead.

01:39:46.000 And then I guess, I don't know, it's kind of crazy to describe this because it's not something you can't get a boat into.

01:39:52.000 So what did they do?

01:39:52.000 Yeah.

01:39:53.000 Just walk across the lily pads at this point.

01:39:54.000 I have no idea how they got in there.

01:39:55.000 You can't.

01:39:56.000 If you fell in that, you'd be under, like a, it's a swamp.

01:39:58.000 It's like, it looks like it's, it looks like a field.

01:40:00.000 But it's, it's, you know, it's not, it's, you know.

01:40:00.000 Yeah.

01:40:03.000 And they did it.

01:40:03.000 It's horrible.

01:40:05.000 Raul says, keep on rocking in a free world.

01:40:07.000 Great stream.

01:40:07.000 Appreciate it.

01:40:09.000 Let's see, where are we at?

01:40:11.000 Tankion says, Adam, you need to see our bats in Australia.

01:40:17.000 They are basically flying rabid dogs.

01:40:19.000 They'll take your head off. 1.00

01:40:20.000 Oh man, those things are huge. 0.94

01:40:21.000 Yikes, man.

01:40:22.000 Everything's huge there.

01:40:24.000 Let's see.

01:40:25.000 Anthony Zolman says, Adam is the Paul to Tim's John and Lydia's George.

01:40:30.000 These beetles have no Ringo.

01:40:33.000 Von P says, no Adam, no peace.

01:40:34.000 Say his name.

01:40:35.000 Adam lives matter.

01:40:38.000 Superman, uh, if he wasn't scared of green rocks, says, I really appreciate it.

01:40:42.000 that all of this is holy. Keep doing the show. There are thousands of people who watch you

01:40:46.000 and count on you to be our voices. You are all important to our community and the information

01:40:51.000 you provide is worth more than you think. I really appreciate it. We're going to keep

01:40:54.000 doing the show and yeah. So also I shout out you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram

01:40:59.000 at Tim cast and parlor.

01:41:02.000 Yes.

01:41:02.000 And you can follow at Sour Patch Lids.

01:41:04.000 I think I got to figure out what a point now.

01:41:06.000 There you go.

01:41:07.000 That's with an L-Y-D-S. 1.00

01:41:08.000 And also for those that want more straight news.

01:41:11.000 So this show is kind of conversational society and culture.

01:41:13.000 I think that's actually how iTunes has listed it.

01:41:15.000 Yeah, society and culture.

01:41:16.000 If you want the boring news, and I don't think it's that boring, you can go to TimCast.net.

01:41:20.000 That's my main channel.

01:41:21.000 It's very straightforward.

01:41:23.000 And then from there, it's like my whole network and a bunch of other shows.

01:41:26.000 So I do a video every day at 4 p.m.

01:41:28.000 Then we do the live show later.

01:41:29.000 I actually put up an insane amount of work because I don't sleep or, you know, whatever.

01:41:32.000 But check out TimCast.net if you haven't.

01:41:34.000 Most of you probably already know about it.

01:41:36.000 There's more segments up.

01:41:37.000 It's basically just me talking to the camera.

01:41:39.000 But subscribe to my channel.

01:41:42.000 John Hill says, Well, YouTube is doing it again.

01:41:44.000 When I tried looking up your videos in my subscriptions, they weren't there just to let you know.

01:41:48.000 Also, no matter who wins, November 9th is going to be nuts.

01:41:53.000 I don't think we're gonna know who wins.

01:41:54.000 This is gonna be... That's optimistic.

01:41:56.000 Yeah, November 9th would be awfully earlier than I would be expecting to know.

01:42:00.000 Yeah, it'll be crazy.

01:42:00.000 Yeah?

01:42:01.000 Scott Rogers says, do you remember when we used to dance and incidents arose from circumstance?

01:42:06.000 One thing led to another.

01:42:07.000 We were young and we would scream together songs unsung.

01:42:10.000 It was the heat of the moment.

01:42:12.000 Yes, it was.

01:42:13.000 Indeed.

01:42:13.000 I remember that song.

01:42:15.000 JMaxx says, sad to see Adam go but I'm also excited for him and for you guys as well.

01:42:20.000 Now more than ever it's important to learn to agree to disagree with friends and family.

01:42:24.000 If we're going to make this country work, we have to be able to live side by side.

01:42:28.000 And Adam has a channel, it's AdamCastIRL on YouTube and he's got a ton of subscribers and he's literally here setting up a studio and you can watch his stuff.

01:42:38.000 below LocalPoco says, neither party has changed dramatically.

01:42:38.000 I don't think so either.

01:42:42.000 Only your own perceptions of them have changed.

01:42:45.000 Both are basically in the same positions they have held since the 1960s.

01:42:48.000 Demo media propaganda worked.

01:42:50.000 I don't agree.

01:42:51.000 I don't think so either.

01:42:52.000 There's videos of Bernie Sanders, of Joe Biden, of Chuck Schumer being like, we need strong

01:42:56.000 borders and a border barrier.

01:42:57.000 It's the Koch brothers' proposal.

01:42:58.000 Yeah.

01:42:59.000 Who's that Bernie?

01:42:59.000 What?

01:43:01.000 I don't see anybody like that anymore.

01:43:02.000 You're breaking my heart, Bernie.

01:43:02.000 Who's that Bernie?

01:43:05.000 I think Bernie, he betrayed.

01:43:08.000 He's corrupted by money. 0.99

01:43:08.000 He's a betrayal. 0.99

01:43:10.000 Trump, you know what's funny?

01:43:11.000 I was never on Trump's team, but Trump didn't betray his positions.

01:43:17.000 He didn't?

01:43:17.000 No, I think he failed some of them, but I think he stayed true to what he said he was going to do.

01:43:23.000 Yeah. He said, I want to build a big beautiful wall. Well, he got his barriers in key locations and he improved a lot

01:43:28.000 of it.

01:43:28.000 So I'm like, I gotta admit, I don't care about the wall. It's never been

01:43:33.000 an issue for me.

01:43:33.000 There's so many other ways to combat illegal immigration.

01:43:36.000 It's not even about that. It's like, I understand how it benefited the economy and I started to

01:43:40.000 recognize like, oh, I get it now.

01:43:42.000 I understand what he's doing.

01:43:43.000 It wasn't a key issue for me.

01:43:45.000 Maybe it should have been.

01:43:46.000 And I think what ended up happening is, I'll tell you what, where the Democrats messed up is opposing their own positions.

01:43:55.000 And then me questioning why it is they were mad about the wall in the first place.

01:43:59.000 And then reading about it and being like, oh, that makes sense.

01:44:01.000 When they could have just been like, we've always agreed with this too.

01:44:04.000 Yeah.

01:44:05.000 Hillary Clinton said we need a border barrier. 0.72

01:44:07.000 You know?

01:44:07.000 I remember.

01:44:08.000 I came up with so many videos of them talking about this stupid border wall. 0.99

01:44:11.000 And so if they came out and said, we, you know, Trump wants to build a wall, it's a little bit out. 0.99

01:44:15.000 Like, imagine if Hillary Clinton stuck true to the border barrier and said, a wall? 0.99

01:44:22.000 We want to build barrier fencing that's practical, reasonable, and cost effective.

01:44:26.000 You're going to build a big giant wall, like, by all means, you do it.

01:44:28.000 It would have sounded a bit more reasonable.

01:44:30.000 And I think the problem the Democrats have is that Donald Trump has moderate positions that most Americans agreed with for a long time, and the Democrats chose to oppose them instead of offering up a better take on them.

01:44:43.000 Yeah, that's why I think, like, debate is essential.

01:44:45.000 Because it's died.

01:44:46.000 They didn't offer good ideas.

01:44:48.000 I have an analogy for it.

01:44:49.000 Yeah.

01:44:50.000 Imagine Donald Trump walks in and he goes, we're going to order a double pepperoni pizza, the best pizza.

01:44:56.000 Yeah.

01:44:56.000 And you go, man, I don't like pepperoni.

01:44:58.000 So the Democrats go, then we hate pizza.

01:45:00.000 We hate pizza too.

01:45:01.000 Like, wait, I know.

01:45:02.000 I don't like.

01:45:02.000 Well, hold on.

01:45:03.000 No.

01:45:04.000 I just, I just, I just want, you know, like sausage, you know what I mean?

01:45:07.000 Or, you know, tomatoes and, you know, whatever.

01:45:09.000 Can I get bacon?

01:45:10.000 I don't know.

01:45:10.000 Yeah.

01:45:11.000 Like I didn't say I didn't want any pizza, but they decided to go the extreme route. 1.00

01:45:15.000 You know, it's like a stupid thing to do. 1.00

01:45:16.000 Yeah, I don't like it. 0.99

01:45:19.000 John Kerner says, Tim, once again a huge fan of your work.

01:45:21.000 Your videos red-pilled and led me to register to vote.

01:45:24.000 East coaster here.

01:45:25.000 My lifelong best friend listens live from LA.

01:45:28.000 Please tell him once again, tell Justin to register to vote.

01:45:31.000 Justin!

01:45:32.000 Yes, Justin?

01:45:32.000 Register to vote!

01:45:33.000 Come on, man.

01:45:34.000 You know, I always do say, too, because I assume, like I've said it a million times, I feel like I've been backed into a corner.

01:45:41.000 I have to vote for Trump.

01:45:42.000 Yeah.

01:45:43.000 It would change.

01:45:44.000 You know, I think it's funny.

01:45:45.000 I got a text message from from Jack Murphy.

01:45:48.000 So you guys probably know who Jack Murphy is because he wrote he wrote the book on it.

01:45:51.000 Democrat to Deplorable.

01:45:52.000 Literally.

01:45:52.000 Yeah.

01:45:53.000 And he like after the last show earlier this week, he was like, Tim, is it true you're voting for Trump?

01:45:58.000 And I'm like laughing.

01:45:59.000 I'm like, OK, too.

01:46:00.000 And I was like, yeah.

01:46:01.000 Yeah.

01:46:01.000 Jack's, he's a cool dude.

01:46:02.000 He's a great dude.

01:46:03.000 Check out his book.

01:46:04.000 He was one of our guests.

01:46:05.000 He was early on.

01:46:06.000 Jack's a cool dude.

01:46:07.000 And he was like, just, you know, having fun with it.

01:46:09.000 And I'm like, look, man, I'm, I'm, I'm upset about it.

01:46:14.000 Honestly, dude, I wish that I were more excited about where we're at.

01:46:18.000 See, I wish that I was excited.

01:46:20.000 I wish I had a candidate that I was really gung-ho about.

01:46:22.000 Like, I wish I felt like a Bernie bro.

01:46:24.000 I wish I felt like really on fire for somebody, but you know what?

01:46:27.000 I would just like the country to not look like Antifa wants it to.

01:46:31.000 People try to, it's funny how people have like conspiracy theories.

01:46:34.000 Man, I tell you, to the best of my ability, I am honest every step of the way.

01:46:39.000 I probably, my opinions change.

01:46:42.000 Some people don't like it.

01:46:43.000 I read new information.

01:46:43.000 I kind of say, oh wow, I didn't consider that.

01:46:45.000 And it happens.

01:46:46.000 But I will tell you the truth.

01:46:47.000 When I say I'm not, like as a president, I wouldn't normally vote for someone like Trump.

01:46:52.000 I'm begrudgingly now feeling like I have to do it because of the repealing of civil rights law and all this stuff.

01:46:58.000 But I'm going to admit it.

01:46:58.000 I'm going to straight up admit it.

01:46:59.000 I have no problem.

01:47:00.000 I told my friend straight up when she was like, everybody donate to Biden.

01:47:02.000 I'm like, I'm probably going to vote for Trump.

01:47:05.000 And I don't care.

01:47:06.000 You can get mad at me.

01:47:07.000 If you won't give me the time of day, you want my friend to begin with.

01:47:09.000 But of course, I keep my friends close.

01:47:11.000 The friends that I have are good people and they literally don't... It's a small circle.

01:47:16.000 Yeah, I definitely do.

01:47:17.000 I'm in my house all day, every day.

01:47:21.000 I don't go anywhere anymore.

01:47:22.000 No, but I mean, I'll say it straight up.

01:47:25.000 You know, a lot of people were like, we, I see a lot of posts are like, we know Tim's secretly going to vote for Trump anyway, he just won't admit it.

01:47:30.000 I'm like, no, no, no, it was not until the riots for the most part.

01:47:32.000 Cause earlier this year, I was like, I want to see Tulsi as a national security advisor.

01:47:36.000 I want to see Yang as an economic advisor.

01:47:38.000 I want to see Trump and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

01:47:41.000 And I want to see a legal, you know, a pardon for nonviolent marijuana offenders for the most part.

01:47:46.000 And I was like, and then, and then, and then everything went insane.

01:47:49.000 And then Donald Trump did try to withdraw our troops in the Middle East, and I was like, OK, you know.

01:47:53.000 You know what, man?

01:47:55.000 I kind of feel obligated to my 16-year-old self to support Trump's efforts in withdrawing our troops in the Middle East.

01:48:02.000 Yeah.

01:48:02.000 At the very least.

01:48:03.000 I was out in the street protesting in Chicago.

01:48:05.000 I was marching and I was yelling.

01:48:06.000 Yeah.

01:48:06.000 I wrote songs about it.

01:48:07.000 To be consistent.

01:48:08.000 Yeah.

01:48:09.000 And now it's I'm 34 and I can't believe I don't think I think I was maybe like 17 or 18.

01:48:14.000 I can't remember exactly when this was.

01:48:15.000 And now I can't believe that I'm 34 and only now are we getting to the point where it's like we're not going to be in this country anymore.

01:48:22.000 That's insane to me.

01:48:23.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:48:23.000 It's so stupid. 1.00

01:48:25.000 But I got to give credit where credit is due. 1.00

01:48:26.000 I love that he's doing it.

01:48:28.000 Love to see it.

01:48:29.000 Flat Earth Vegan Amy says, I'm a USPS worker.

01:48:32.000 What's the deal with Trump vs. Post Office?

01:48:33.000 They blame Trump but USPS is to Amazon as blockbusters to Netflix.

01:48:37.000 Post Office leaks money.

01:48:39.000 Antiquated.

01:48:39.000 I'm conflicted.

01:48:40.000 I don't know for the most- I don't know completely.

01:48:43.000 My general understanding is COVID.

01:48:45.000 Like, there's a budget shortfall for everybody.

01:48:47.000 And they want Trump, I guess, to give them more funding.

01:48:51.000 Yeah, so it's part of their coronavirus relief effort.

01:48:54.000 They're like, you are going to give billions of dollars to the USPS.

01:48:57.000 And he's like, they're not going to get it.

01:48:59.000 And I was like, I mean, I think that the reason they really, really want it right now is so they can do all their mail-in voting, which Kind of makes sense to me that they're using it as a political pawn.

01:49:10.000 You should do that with the USPS.

01:49:11.000 I didn't actually listen to the recording, but I think Trump said specifically, like, they're just doing this because they want mail-in voting.

01:49:17.000 Exactly.

01:49:18.000 And then everyone's like, he admitted it!

01:49:20.000 It's like, yeah, but so what?

01:49:21.000 I went and found that article and I clipped the direct quote of what he had said, and it was not what they're saying in the headlines.

01:49:28.000 Right.

01:49:28.000 Given the full context, he's talking about how this, to him, seems like a bargaining chip for them, which it shouldn't be.

01:49:34.000 He's like, this isn't going to work for us.

01:49:36.000 We need to figure some other compromise out.

01:49:38.000 I'm sorry.

01:49:39.000 It is a fact that the Democrats are dangling food over people who are starving and in need.

01:49:48.000 They're dangling over them and demanding, like, voter stuff and, like, they want to remove voter signature verification.

01:49:56.000 Yeah.

01:49:56.000 And voter ID.

01:49:57.000 Yeah.

01:49:58.000 And so what they're doing is, one of the Republicans are saying, see all those angry, starving people?

01:50:02.000 Well, if you want them fed, you give us, we want to ban signature verification?

01:50:06.000 What?

01:50:07.000 What?

01:50:07.000 That's an essential part of feeding hungry people is banning signature verification on ballots.

01:50:11.000 Just go with it.

01:50:13.000 I feel like this is how it's been reported, okay, by multiple outlets.

01:50:16.000 And I'm sure there's probably some nuance to it, because I know there's a lawsuit that says it's not that they want to ban it.

01:50:20.000 They want to open up the opportunity to fix your signature.

01:50:24.000 But either way, I'm kind of like, what does that have to do with giving people unemployment checks so they can pay their rent?

01:50:29.000 Nancy Pelosi was talking about how essential it was, how this couldn't wait, how people are depending on this.

01:50:34.000 And now they're taking recess till September, till Labor Day?

01:50:38.000 Oh, yeah.

01:50:38.000 Totally inconsistent.

01:50:40.000 They don't care.

01:50:40.000 They don't care at all.

01:50:42.000 I hate it.

01:50:42.000 I think they just want to win.

01:50:43.000 They want power.

01:50:44.000 And I get really, really frustrated seeing people say things like, you know, why aren't we getting our paychecks?

01:50:51.000 Congress is, you know, in the Senate.

01:50:52.000 And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:50:54.000 Trump is saying straight up, we're going to get you this stuff.

01:50:57.000 Now, to be fair, Republicans wanted to ax the bonus to 200 bucks.

01:51:00.000 I'm sure that would make people angry, but I don't think there should have been a bonus in the first place.

01:51:03.000 Right.

01:51:04.000 I have to explain this to people.

01:51:05.000 I'm like, you realize They said 100% unemployment guarantee plus $600, right?

01:51:12.000 That means no matter how much someone pays another person, they're gonna make more in unemployment.

01:51:16.000 Right.

01:51:17.000 That's like designed to fail.

01:51:18.000 Right.

01:51:18.000 Like, what were they thinking?

01:51:20.000 Even $200.

01:51:20.000 Yeah, there's no competition.

01:51:24.000 $10 more, why would you work?

01:51:26.000 Yeah.

01:51:26.000 Seriously.

01:51:27.000 Make better money.

01:51:28.000 Hold on.

01:51:28.000 $100 more, yeah.

01:51:29.000 No, no, no.

01:51:30.000 No bonus at all.

01:51:31.000 Why would you work?

01:51:31.000 Yeah, what's the point?

01:51:32.000 If someone came to you and they were like, you can work 40 hours a week for $600, Or you can stay at home and we'll give you full unemployment benefits for the same salary.

01:51:40.000 Play video games.

01:51:41.000 They're going to be like, I'll take it.

01:51:43.000 I'll take the money for nothing.

01:51:45.000 We saw the stories, man.

01:51:46.000 I don't know the solutions.

01:51:47.000 I'll tell you this.

01:51:48.000 If we're going to give people a bonus, then so be it.

01:51:50.000 Let's do it.

01:51:51.000 But look, I think it's fair to point out the Republicans wanted an FBI building and they wanted like tanks or something.

01:51:58.000 I don't know.

01:51:58.000 There was a bunch of war stuff.

01:52:00.000 I tweeted about it.

01:52:01.000 I was like, Are the Republicans preparing for a war?

01:52:04.000 It seems like they might be preparing for something.

01:52:06.000 A lot of people were like, this is so weird, why would they do this?

01:52:10.000 It's a waste of money.

01:52:11.000 And then other people were like, I watched Tim's content, so I think he's talking about China.

01:52:15.000 Yeah, I think he might be talking about this thing.

01:52:17.000 I've seen Republicans say the FBI building makes sense.

01:52:20.000 Yeah.

01:52:21.000 Maybe I'm getting this wrong.

01:52:21.000 Am I confusing this with the other bill?

01:52:22.000 I think it was their COVID relief bill.

01:52:24.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:52:25.000 Yeah, so this was their thing that they were kind of saying.

01:52:27.000 I don't like either party, I'll tell you what.

01:52:29.000 You know, but the voter signature... I'll tell you what.

01:52:32.000 Look, there's a reason for an FBI building.

01:52:34.000 There's a reason for tanks or whatever.

01:52:37.000 Sure, fine, whatever.

01:52:38.000 To me, it's silly and it's worthy of criticism 100%.

01:52:41.000 But removing voter signature verification is like saying, we'll give you food if you let us cheat the election.

01:52:48.000 83 days till the election, dude.

01:52:50.000 No time for this nonsense. 1.00

01:52:52.000 So dumb. 0.99

01:52:53.000 Maximum Casey says, Adam or no Adam, I will continue to love and support the show. 0.99

01:52:57.000 I am saddened by this turn of events, but you will not get any beef from me.

01:53:00.000 Side note, I was using Nord VPN and YouTube changed my currency to GBP.

01:53:05.000 I wasn't even connected to the UK.

01:53:06.000 That's interesting.

01:53:07.000 That's weird.

01:53:07.000 VPN or something.

01:53:08.000 Nick Ellie says, one of the reasons Adam is so admirable, because he did what everyone wants and needs to do, speak the truth and take responsibility for the consequences.

01:53:16.000 Good luck to him and the rest of you at Timcast.

01:53:19.000 And he does have his own channel, AdamCastIRL on YouTube, where he's going to be doing his show and he's still here.

01:53:24.000 Literally, we just had pizza an hour and a half ago and we were talking about Trump and stuff, you know, so by all means, you know, we'll see how things roll, you know.

01:53:33.000 Steven Rodriguez says, love what you're doing here, Tim.

01:53:36.000 Love Adam too, but still support the show.

01:53:37.000 Appreciate it, man.

01:53:38.000 Thanks, man.

01:53:39.000 Let's see what we got in the Super Chats.

01:53:41.000 Bradley LeDoux says, But you know what, man?

01:53:43.000 There is media that's not ignoring it.

01:53:44.000 children who have been murdered during the past few months.

01:53:47.000 It's horrible how the mainstream media has ignored them all. But you know

01:53:51.000 what man? There is media that's not ignoring it. There are conservative

01:53:57.000 outlets.

01:53:57.000 You know who's really good about this is Terry Crews.

01:54:00.000 Terry Crews is awesome.

01:54:00.000 Even if no one else reports on this, he was tweeting out the list of, you know, say their names.

01:54:05.000 Wow.

01:54:05.000 It was just little black kids who'd been shot.

01:54:07.000 He's like, their lives matter to you?

01:54:08.000 Man, nobody's talking about them.

01:54:10.000 Because it's all political.

01:54:11.000 Dude.

01:54:12.000 You know, it's funny when I see my... I'm losing friends, to be honest.

01:54:17.000 Oh, man.

01:54:18.000 It's not like we... There's not been a point where I've ever said I'm not your friend anymore.

01:54:22.000 Right.

01:54:22.000 Or it's been said to me.

01:54:24.000 But I'm telling you, when I see a friend of mine post complete fake news, support looting and destruction, I'm like, what has happened to you?

01:54:33.000 When did you become the person that championed pain and suffering?

01:54:37.000 For what?

01:54:38.000 Yeah.

01:54:38.000 I get it, man.

01:54:39.000 There's problems in this country.

01:54:41.000 But how can you go from saying, I understand their problems, let's try to make life better for everybody else, to cheering for looting?

01:54:50.000 I don't get it, man.

01:54:51.000 There's an image of an immigrant family hugging amid the rubble of their bodega, their corner store.

01:54:58.000 Yeah, man.

01:54:59.000 Did their lives not matter?

01:55:00.000 Seriously, because you just destroyed them.

01:55:02.000 Or there's the people who have a small restaurant in Chicago, windows busted out, door busted out, having to... Yeah, I remember the guy in Minnesota, the guy in Minneapolis who had his bar completely destroyed before he even had a chance to open it.

01:55:15.000 We raised him a million dollars.

01:55:15.000 Yes, we did!

01:55:16.000 This is awesome.

01:55:17.000 I really enjoy that story.

01:55:18.000 You know, I wish I could do, you know, do every GoFundMe, everything.

01:55:22.000 Me too.

01:55:22.000 But when I saw that story, dude, there was a guy in Minnesota, he's a firefighter, he's a family man, he was just like, the American dream.

01:55:32.000 Yeah, seriously.

01:55:32.000 And he opened his own bar, and they destroyed it, and then when he came back the next day, they burned the building to the ground.

01:55:37.000 Dude.

01:55:37.000 So it's beyond just, and they were like stealing his safe while he was coming in.

01:55:42.000 Talk about brutal.

01:55:43.000 Well, the dude raised over a million bucks.

01:55:45.000 I don't care what he does with it.

01:55:46.000 He can buy himself a pony and go, you know, right around the countryside.

01:55:49.000 I just want him to be happy.

01:55:50.000 Right.

01:55:51.000 Because it breaks my heart to see someone work so hard, play by the rules, and then get, you know, shortchanged by these, you know, just to have everything just torn, just destroyed in front of you.

01:56:00.000 Yeah, for no reason.

01:56:01.000 For nothing.

01:56:02.000 And I'll tell you what, I feel similarly to a lot of these kids who rack up student loan debt. 0.95

01:56:06.000 You got a bunch of young dumb kids and they're being told by everybody, you have to get out loans. 0.99

01:56:10.000 They go into this stupid college system and now they come back out with indentured servitude and they don't know what they don't know what to do. 1.00

01:56:15.000 And what do you think they're going to do? 1.00

01:56:17.000 They're going to vote for the commies.

01:56:18.000 Right.

01:56:18.000 Well, you made the point that hard work has never really paid off for them.

01:56:21.000 And that kind of hit home with me.

01:56:22.000 I was like, you know what?

01:56:23.000 You're right.

01:56:24.000 Why would you want to work hard if it's never worked?

01:56:26.000 It's never worked out for you.

01:56:28.000 What's even the point?

01:56:29.000 So their only thing is the government will do it.

01:56:31.000 Yeah.

01:56:31.000 Like it's just get sad and Donald Trump, man.

01:56:35.000 This guy.

01:56:37.000 When he froze federal student loan interest rates, I couldn't believe it.

01:56:42.000 Yeah?

01:56:42.000 I'm like, I've literally been calling for that on this show.

01:56:45.000 Like, this is what we need to do.

01:56:46.000 And you know what?

01:56:47.000 This is kind of like the agreement they just came to today in the Middle East.

01:56:50.000 This is because of coronavirus, and he is actually using it for good things.

01:56:54.000 I think that's admirable.

01:56:56.000 That's amazing.

01:56:57.000 I think Trump has really been improving.

01:57:00.000 I really do.

01:57:00.000 I think so, too.

01:57:01.000 He's definitely mellowed.

01:57:02.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:57:03.000 A lot of the bones I had to pick with him about his tweeting nonsense have really gone out the window.

01:57:08.000 I think he learned.

01:57:09.000 He did.

01:57:09.000 I think he figured it out, like, hey, wait a minute.

01:57:12.000 Yeah, you can teach an old dog new tricks, it turns out, which is great news.

01:57:16.000 Let's see.

01:57:17.000 Aketsu says, Tim, I love your idea of having Average Joes on the podcast. 1.00

01:57:20.000 I am a site safety manager in NYC.

01:57:21.000 I travel all over the city and I could tell you some stories, bro.

01:57:24.000 P.S.

01:57:24.000 I guess now that AdamCast is your competition, you could say it's complicated.

01:57:28.000 We definitely want to do Average Joes, man. 1.00

01:57:31.000 I was having a conversation with a contractor.

01:57:34.000 It was fascinating.

01:57:35.000 Yeah.

01:57:36.000 The work they do, the bills they pay.

01:57:38.000 Like when I was talking to this guy before COVID, telling me how like it's been the greatest year of his life.

01:57:45.000 His business is taking off.

01:57:46.000 He's hiring so many more people.

01:57:47.000 He's so happy to hear.

01:57:48.000 Yup.

01:57:49.000 And, and, and, and the people working with him were straight up like they were going to vote for Trump because they were tired of the media.

01:57:55.000 And I'm like, this is crazy.

01:57:56.000 I was like, you're just regular dudes.

01:57:58.000 They weren't on social media.

01:57:59.000 New Jersey.

01:58:00.000 Yeah.

01:58:00.000 State default liberal.

01:58:02.000 I think too much of our media landscape is dominated by people like me.

01:58:07.000 And not people like you.

01:58:08.000 What do you mean?

01:58:11.000 Because you're pretty centrist.

01:58:13.000 No, we're politicos.

01:58:16.000 Even everybody watching right now, we're all relatively politically active.

01:58:20.000 If you come to a show like this...

01:58:22.000 You know, yeah, you're paying attention.

01:58:24.000 Right.

01:58:25.000 And a little bit or want to pay attention more.

01:58:27.000 Yeah.

01:58:27.000 You know, so I think there are people that get shut out.

01:58:32.000 Regular people.

01:58:33.000 Yeah.

01:58:34.000 The original idea for the show was to talk to regular people around the country.

01:58:37.000 Once we move, I'm going to try and book.

01:58:39.000 I say regular people, but yeah, it's going to be like a project manager for a building company.

01:58:44.000 Yeah.

01:58:44.000 And, you know, they'll probably be relatively politically active.

01:58:47.000 I'm not going to grab a random guy who's going to sit there and be like, I have no idea what's happening.

01:58:50.000 What am I doing here?

01:58:51.000 Well, I think any business owner you could talk to is paying some kind of attention.

01:58:54.000 But even activists, too.

01:58:55.000 I'd love to get, like, you know, a politically active activist.

01:59:00.000 One of the challenges with having someone who would be, like, a far-left activist is that it would be very adversarial.

01:59:05.000 Yeah.

01:59:06.000 We could probably have a good conversation, but I kind of feel like everyone watching in Super Chat and us would be like, oh, that's actually incorrect.

01:59:11.000 Here's the source.

01:59:12.000 Right.

01:59:13.000 You're wrong.

01:59:13.000 Here's, you know.

01:59:13.000 I'm going to set you straight, which is kind of, I mean, it's not a really good conversation.

01:59:17.000 Right, right, right.

01:59:17.000 But I think we could absolutely find liberal personalities.

01:59:22.000 Not personalities, but like liberal individuals who could, you know, make a good argument.

01:59:27.000 Yeah.

01:59:28.000 I just don't think they'll want to do it because they don't want to get cancelled.

01:59:33.000 It's too bad.

01:59:33.000 You know what I mean?

01:59:34.000 It's too bad.

01:59:35.000 I hate cancel culture.

01:59:36.000 Think about how many people are scared to speak up, and I have no problem saying, you know what?

01:59:39.000 I'm probably going to end up voting for Trump.

01:59:41.000 I feel backed into a corner.

01:59:42.000 He's improved a lot.

01:59:43.000 You know what I mean?

01:59:44.000 What can I say?

01:59:45.000 If he didn't, I definitely would be like, no way!

01:59:48.000 But he's not that bad.

01:59:51.000 A lot of people wouldn't want to admit that.

01:59:53.000 You know what, man?

01:59:53.000 I don't care.

01:59:54.000 This is what I mean when I say, you can cancel me, I'll go down by the river and go fishing.

01:59:57.000 It's like, I'll speak what needs to be spoken.

01:59:59.000 I'll be tactful and strategic so I don't get, you know, banned unnecessarily.

02:00:02.000 Right.

02:00:03.000 I can maximize, you know, what we're doing.

02:00:06.000 But yeah, man, you know, I'm willing to say what I feel.

02:00:10.000 I'm willing to be honest.

02:00:11.000 Yeah.

02:00:12.000 Yeah.

02:00:14.000 Let's see.

02:00:15.000 Malta Linus says, no Adam, no peace.

02:00:17.000 But seriously, I've enjoyed watching the two of you, and previously invisible Lydia, and will continue to watch both of your IRLs.

02:00:23.000 Cheers from the shrunken state of Oklahoma.

02:00:26.000 And Lydia always had a camera. 0.99

02:00:27.000 I'm glad to have a corporeal presence now.

02:00:29.000 I'm glad to have a body.

02:00:31.000 I'm glad to not be invisible anymore.

02:00:32.000 I did have a voice.

02:00:34.000 Yeah, there was a wishing stone.

02:00:36.000 It was amazing.

02:00:37.000 I rubbed it and a djinn came out and he told me, make your wishes. 1.00

02:00:42.000 And if I make three wishes, the portal of the djinn world opens up. 0.98

02:00:45.000 And one of the wishes was for Lydia to get a corporeal form. 1.00

02:00:49.000 And anybody who understands that reference, you are amazing.

02:00:52.000 That was a reference to an old movie, a series of movies.

02:00:56.000 Tell me, what do you want?

02:00:58.000 Just say, I wish.

02:00:59.000 Oh, I love that.

02:01:01.000 It's Wishmaster, okay?

02:01:02.000 For those that don't know, I love that movie.

02:01:03.000 Yeah, that movie's crazy.

02:01:04.000 DJG says, Great job, Lydia.

02:01:06.000 Thanks for filling in for Adam.

02:01:08.000 Tim, thanks for being a voice of reason.

02:01:09.000 We may differ in opinion, but it's great that someone out there is doing something.

02:01:13.000 Also, spin that UFO.

02:01:15.000 Yes, I will.

02:01:16.000 I would love to.

02:01:16.000 I've been waiting for this.

02:01:17.000 And you know what?

02:01:17.000 It makes me so happy when people message you and they're like, I may disagree with you, but I absolutely think that what you're saying is important.

02:01:25.000 I don't know if anyone can hear me now.

02:01:27.000 Oh, I don't want to knock it over.

02:01:28.000 Oh, this is my first time spinning the UFO.

02:01:30.000 Lydia has spun the UFO.

02:01:32.000 It has been spun.

02:01:34.000 Akipat says, Newly awakened race hate is the biggest social problem we have now.

02:01:38.000 The media, aka The Cathedral, look at Michael Malice, is totally complicit in this form, in this, from decades of pushing lopsided critical race theory.

02:01:47.000 How do kids not grow up racist today?

02:01:48.000 Tragic.

02:01:49.000 Michael Malice is amazing.

02:01:50.000 You can follow him on Twitter, he's a cool dude.

02:01:53.000 And I will also mention, there was a leak of school, like, curriculum documents, and it was literally, like, the math problems.

02:02:02.000 This is amazing.

02:02:03.000 You got to hear this, okay?

02:02:04.000 Traditionally, like when I was growing up, the math problem was something like, it said you have a bushel of apples and it's being delivered to, you know, the processing plant, which can hold a capacity of, you know, 12,396 apples, but your bag carries 13 blah, blah, blah.

02:02:19.000 What percentage of apples will not be able to be processed?

02:02:22.000 Right.

02:02:22.000 And in this curriculum, it says the police are stopping people in the city.

02:02:27.000 If 17,326 are white and, you know, 10,000 are black, what percentage of the police are, you know, what percentage of the people stopped are, you know, are African American, blah, blah, blah. 0.75

02:02:37.000 Anyway, the point is, even the math questions that are trying to get you to just solve a simple math equation are framed in a intersectional way.

02:02:45.000 This is so counterproductive.

02:02:47.000 What does this teach people?

02:02:49.000 It's the cathedral.

02:02:50.000 Okay, so explain the cathedral to me.

02:02:52.000 It's the church.

02:02:53.000 It's like the church of intersectionality.

02:02:56.000 They tell you what is true, they tell you what to say, and they indoctrinate you.

02:02:59.000 Perfect, that makes perfect sense.

02:03:00.000 Yeah, but there's no... it's like non-theistic, and there's no end other than just chaos.

02:03:05.000 And dude, you know what else there is not?

02:03:06.000 There is no forgiveness.

02:03:09.000 There is no coming back.

02:03:10.000 The church has that.

02:03:11.000 The church has that.

02:03:12.000 The church has redemption.

02:03:14.000 Like, there is a way to...

02:03:16.000 There's a way to fix your problems or to turn to a higher power to fix your problems.

02:03:19.000 Dude, they don't have that.

02:03:21.000 There's no confessional.

02:03:24.000 Yeah.

02:03:25.000 I grew up Catholic, briefly, and you'd go into the confession booth.

02:03:29.000 You know what was really funny when I was a kid?

02:03:31.000 I had nothing to confess.

02:03:33.000 Did you make stuff up?

02:03:34.000 They told me to say whatever.

02:03:35.000 Really?

02:03:35.000 It's the weirdest thing.

02:03:37.000 I'm like, I didn't do anything wrong.

02:03:39.000 I haven't done anything, yeah.

02:03:40.000 I'm a kid doing kid stuff.

02:03:42.000 But it felt, it was weird because it was like, you know, confess your sins and I was like, I don't know.

02:03:48.000 I'm not a little kid.

02:03:49.000 I mean, I smacked my brother or something.

02:03:52.000 I think I remember one where I said that my friend offered me a Sour Patch Kid and when I reached in the bag I took two instead.

02:03:57.000 Because I was like, was that wrong?

02:03:59.000 I don't know what that was.

02:04:00.000 And I was told it wasn't wrong.

02:04:02.000 They said, was your friend upset?

02:04:03.000 I said, no.

02:04:04.000 And they were like, did they offer you more Sour Patch Kids?

02:04:07.000 I said, yes.

02:04:07.000 And they were like, I think they were letting you have, they were sharing with you.

02:04:10.000 I think you're okay.

02:04:11.000 And I was like, okay.

02:04:11.000 I was a little kid.

02:04:13.000 I had no idea.

02:04:14.000 All right.

02:04:16.000 Let's see.

02:04:17.000 Oh, I read that one.

02:04:20.000 I read.

02:04:21.000 Oh, there we go.

02:04:22.000 I just jumped on me.

02:04:22.000 I was like, what's going on with this?

02:04:24.000 Super Chat does that on YouTube, man.

02:04:25.000 Yeah.

02:04:25.000 Have fun.

02:04:25.000 Have fun with us.

02:04:28.000 Oh, man.

02:04:29.000 Kid Truck says, as a conservative, not really Republican, it's been interesting to see how large a group the right now includes.

02:04:36.000 Small government, big government, gun control, no gun control, etc.

02:04:39.000 That is crazy, man.

02:04:40.000 Yeah.

02:04:41.000 It is a big, big tent.

02:04:42.000 I like it.

02:04:42.000 Yeah, seriously.

02:04:45.000 Liberals, pro-choice, pro-life, standing side by side, holding hands.

02:04:49.000 Dave Rubin, gay, married, Yeah, they're friends, we get along fine.

02:04:53.000 It's a secret that we agree on a lot of this stuff.

02:04:54.000 That we're all Americans, that we all basically agree on the same things.

02:04:58.000 No, they're off on their own little whatever.

02:05:00.000 the left and the right the democrats the republicans they were very close and

02:05:03.000 overlapped yeah i remember now it's democrats are overhear public and secret

02:05:06.000 that we agree on a lot of this stuff there were all americans that we all

02:05:10.000 basically we don't know if our last name snow if they're there off on their own

02:05:13.000 little whatever we can see them you know what man

02:05:16.000 It really does feel like we're—the Democrats are the last vestige of a historical political party, and we're going to have the America Party and the, you know, International Party or whatever.

02:05:27.000 Yeah.

02:05:27.000 It's gonna be like the Socialists and the Americans.

02:05:30.000 And it might actually divide along terms of whether we want to be involved in wars, because there are facets of each party that are super, super involved in the military-industrial complex, and they can have their own side of things, and everyone else normal and sane can be on the other side.

02:05:47.000 I think it's the internet.

02:05:48.000 You think so?

02:05:49.000 Well, I think the Internet allowed us to challenge the establishment.

02:05:53.000 I think you're right.

02:05:53.000 It's been true with the Arab Spring.

02:05:55.000 Like the fact that we're having this conversation right now.

02:05:57.000 It's a platform that nobody's got.

02:06:00.000 They want to ban us.

02:06:01.000 Yes!

02:06:02.000 I'm being a bit facetious when I say that.

02:06:04.000 There are certainly elements that want to, and it's a struggle.

02:06:07.000 You see what they did to Crowder with taking away his monetization for a year.

02:06:10.000 But it kind of feels like things are improving on YouTube.

02:06:14.000 So I'm a little hopeful.

02:06:15.000 I am.

02:06:15.000 Yeah, I'm hopeful.

02:06:17.000 I feel like if Trump wins and the Republicans take control of everything, there's gonna be a lot of things I'm upset about.

02:06:23.000 Right.

02:06:23.000 But I also feel like there's gonna be a lot of things I'm gonna breathe a sigh of relief about.

02:06:26.000 The country will still be standing at the end of the day.

02:06:29.000 Yeah.

02:06:29.000 So you will have things to be upset about and a country to be upset about them in.

02:06:33.000 Right.

02:06:34.000 And then hopefully that's a reckoning for whatever counter-party, except maybe it's not the Democrats.

02:06:38.000 Yeah.

02:06:38.000 It's going to be like, the Republicans are going to absorb every rational person, the Democrats have gone insane and will collapse, and the Republicans will split into, like, the centrist Republicans versus the, you know, the grand old public party.

02:06:50.000 You know what I mean?

02:06:50.000 It's going to be like the same party is going to split or something.

02:06:52.000 That would be good.

02:06:53.000 Maybe that's a natural cycle.

02:06:55.000 I don't know.

02:06:56.000 Bobcat says, Tim, would you consider talking about thorium reactors as a solution for clean power?

02:07:01.000 Also, I noticed you might have an opening for an OSINT nerd that can run a soundboard.

02:07:06.000 Where can I send my resume and demo of work?

02:07:08.000 Spintheufo at Gmail, is it?

02:07:10.000 Yep, that's a good place to send it.

02:07:11.000 You can send stuff to spintheufo at Gmail.

02:07:14.000 You can also go to timcast.com slash donate, and there's a PO box if you want to send anything, because we get sent some really cool stuff.

02:07:22.000 Physical objects, yep.

02:07:23.000 Physical objects through the snail mail.

02:08:01.000 So, that being said, we are trying to get to the point where we're going to be booking guests.

02:08:05.000 We may have some guests very soon.

02:08:07.000 Yes.

02:08:08.000 I hope so.

02:08:08.000 Yeah.

02:08:08.000 A couple people have reached out.

02:08:10.000 Very cool.

02:08:11.000 And I think, hopefully soon.

02:08:13.000 Otherwise, we're going to keep hanging out and just doing conversations and, you know, doing our best.

02:08:19.000 But with that being said, it is time to go to bed.
