In this episode, we discuss the situation in Portland, Oregon regarding the federal government's decision to withdraw from the fight against the far-left. Also, we talk about the recent white supremacist incident in Minneapolis, and how the white supremacists are actually white supremacists.
00:00:08.000At first it was announced that the Feds would be withdrawing and the breaking news made it seem like the Department of Homeland Security had given up.
00:00:16.000They couldn't win this fight against the far left and they were backing down.
00:00:19.000At least that's how some news outlets were reporting it.
00:00:22.000And then I actually started reading what had happened and it's actually the other way around.
00:00:27.000So the Democrats in Oregon have agreed to their terms to deploy more police to defend the downtown area in the federal courthouse, and the feds are gonna stay.
00:00:40.000Listen, man, this is the news right now.
00:00:42.000We live in a fractured reality where the Democrats are trying to claim they won, and Wheeler and the governor are like, Because they believe the lies.
00:00:50.000start withdrawing tomorrow and the DHS is like no we're not and then there are
00:00:54.000people literally responding to the to the acting secretary of the DHS you got
00:00:57.000owned and it's like the dude runs the DHS if he says he's not leaving why
00:01:02.000would you believe the people who don't run the DHS because they believe the
00:01:08.000lies they are anything that fits their narrative if it's on the news but
00:01:13.000they're they're vindicated and justified It's propagandistic warfare, man.
00:01:21.000And so what ends up happening is, I'll do a series of videos where it's like, you know, Trump was right, Trump has won this fight, and they'll do the exact opposite.
00:01:30.000But I really do believe they're wrong.
00:01:32.000And the example I often give is like, you know, when I see progressive YouTubers do a video where they're like, Donald Trump's disapproval is higher than ever!
00:01:53.000The governor is saying the feds have agreed to a phased withdrawal, and everyone cheers, and then she whispers under her breath, as long as we abide by their terms.
00:02:01.000They're going to be deploying state police.
00:02:37.000And now that the narrative is becoming, uh, the narrative is becoming, I guess, that these, you know, Antifa types are actually secretly white supremacists.
00:04:08.000I don't know Well, anyway, the point is, if they're still going to go out and defend Antifa, even though they know that now they're reporting numerous instances where the far right is actually the ones doing it, what justification do they have to allow them to be at their protests now?
00:04:23.000So when the peaceful protesters, and I mean the legitimate ones who are just standing around like, you know, singing, they should be kicking these people out.
00:05:56.000And so this is funny, I tweeted, are they preparing for a war or something?
00:05:59.000And I think a lot of people didn't understand the point I was trying to make, except for, this surprised me, I got a notification, Joey Brzezinski, pro skateboarder, tweeted, I was like, I got a response from him, like, Joey Brzezinski tweeted at me, I was like, oh, he's a pro skater, I know who that is.
00:06:12.000And I looked and it was a picture of the American flag and the Chinese flag and a thinking face.
00:07:24.000So it was kind of weird, and then we're seeing all this stuff, and I'm like, we've got all this movement, we've got India and Pakistan, apparently Pakistan and China are preparing a pincer attack on India.
00:07:34.000Yeah, and India, I was reading an India Times news, I don't know exactly which it was, but they were talking about, they're ready, man, their Air Force is legit, they have a bunch of Air Force bases along the whole border.
00:07:47.000They're basically saying, come at us, China.
00:08:46.000I'm choosing this article from Willemitweek on purpose because Willemitweek is, my understanding, fairly biased and even they're forced to admit straight up the Oregon State Police will now provide protection for free speech They caved, man.
00:09:03.000Listen, the demands from these leftists in Portland was to defund the Portland police by 50%.
00:09:43.000And they didn't think it was going to happen.
00:09:44.000I think they pulled the police out initially.
00:09:47.000So early on, the Portland police were engaging and, you know, arresting rioters.
00:09:53.000On the 39th night, the feds sent in extra DHS troops because there were already marshals there.
00:10:00.000Because of all the bad press about DHS, Portland police stopped.
00:10:04.000They issued a statement where they were like, we did not engage at all, that wasn't us, we had nothing to do with this.
00:10:09.000And then that meant Trump was the only one dealing with this.
00:10:13.000Eric Weinstein, he's the famous IDW guy, said, he tweeted, he was hearing a lot from liberals that there were two big reasons they were jumping ship and, you know, potentially voting for Trump, and one was Biden's cognitive Decline?
00:11:19.000Is that a lot of these, a lot of regular Americans don't care about civil liberties.
00:11:23.000If it came down to it, and you were holding up a sign and marching through their neighborhood, they'd probably just want you arrested and kicked out immediately.
00:11:29.000well there's a a small town in colorado that that that exactly that that basically happened there was maybe ten black lives matter you know protesters and man that the whole town came out and there was like the sheriff came with horses there was like six or seven horse uh... officers and like the whole town you just see him like get out of our town Here's your trash that you dropped like take this with you and get out and everyone's like now that that's a real sheriff right there and it's like whoa and there was that in ohio i think it was north colorado somewhere in in ohio like 70 black lives matter protesters showed up to the small town and like 700 counter protesters came out and they were like we will crush you get out yep
00:12:14.000Regular Americans don't want to deal with this.
00:12:17.000They want to go to work, they want to come home, they want to talk to their kids, see what their kids are up to, how's school, let's go play baseball or whatever.
00:12:30.000Willamette Week says, Oregon Governor Kate Brown announced Wednesday morning that following discussions with Vice President Mike Pence, federal agents occupying the Marco Hatfield Federal Courthouse in Portland have agreed to a phased withdrawal.
00:12:42.000The withdrawal will begin Thursday, July 30th.
00:12:44.000Brown said the federal agents will also clean up the building's exterior, which is covered in graffiti.
00:12:51.000So maybe that's the one thing they got.
00:12:53.000We will agree to all of your demands so long as your guys clean up the graffiti on your own building.
00:12:58.000They're like, okay, great, send in the police.
00:13:01.000They mentioned since early July, officers from federal agencies, including DHS, Customs and Border Protection, Specialized Bortec Unit, have dispersed and injured protesters.
00:13:22.000The fence was put up at some point in the past couple of weeks. So these riots have been going
00:13:26.000on for quite some time. Their presence in Oregon garnered national criticism when Oregon Public
00:13:32.000Broadcasting reported that federal agents were snatching protesters into unmarked rental vans.
00:13:37.000How dumb. Snatching. These federal officers have acted as an occupying force, refused accountability
00:13:44.000and brought violence and strife to our community, Brown said in a statement.
00:13:47.000We have an opportunity that we cannot afford to waste.
00:13:50.000The departure of federal forces represents the beginning of a process that will be as difficult as it is overdue.
00:13:56.000Oregon State Police will arrive at the building to provide protection for free speech and the security of the exterior of the courthouse with the Federal Protective Service.
00:14:05.000Well, I hope they're there for the security of the interior of the courthouse also.
00:14:19.000If the Oregon State Police, if the feds are there, and the Oregon government goes to the feds and say, we'll deploy police to protect you, Oregon is providing a service to the feds.
00:14:32.000I'm sorry, the feds have clearly won this one.
00:14:36.000In response to this, Acting Secretary Chad Wolf tweeted, The state of Oregon is finally agreeing to cooperate with our federal forces, exactly what we asked for since the nightly violence broke out two months ago.
00:14:47.000We're glad Oregon is now correcting their months-long error.
00:15:49.000He goes on to say, We will maintain our current augmented federal law enforcement personnel in Portland until we are assured that the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and other federal properties will no longer be attacked and that the seat of justice in Portland will remain secure.
00:16:04.000DHS will not back down from our legal duty to protect federal law enforcement officers and federal properties in the face of violent criminal behavior.
00:16:11.000POTUS made clear that this administration is ready and willing to partner with state and local law enforcement to protect every American, and you see that commitment in Portland with his plan.
00:16:22.000And then this person tweeted, you got smacked down.
00:16:32.000You know what really, really kind of scares me about all of this is that I think, you know, we've talked about the different factions in the culture war.
00:16:39.000It really does feel like mature adults, responsible adults, and whiny children.
00:16:46.000So you get these lunatics who come out throwing bottles.
00:16:48.000I mean, we talked about those videos of the women screaming, like, you wouldn't do this to a nice young girl from Wisconsin or whatever, young woman.
00:16:57.000Dude, or the video from New York where the woman's screaming in the cop's face, or effing what?
00:17:03.000All right, she's going and pulls her in and they're just screaming.
00:17:40.000There were reports of potential violent riots on Saturday.
00:17:44.000So before Saturday, they were like, OK, we're going to send in some extra law enforcement into the courthouses and into our federal buildings.
00:19:34.000A van pulls up to a march, they grab this trans- it's a trans femme, a lot of news outlets have said she, her, and woman, but the activists literally said trans femme, so I'm not gonna assume any pronouns, I'm gonna use exactly what the activists refer to this individual as.
00:19:48.000And then as they snatch, jump out and grab, it's the warrant squad, NYPD's warrant squad, using an unmarked van.
00:19:56.000And immediately, NYPD bike police form a barrier around the van, in uniform, with bright yellow vests, reflective vests, standing there, holding people back, and they're like, who's kidnapping our friend?
00:20:46.000And when a plainclothes cop executes a no-knock warrant, and then the homeowner defends himself, and they arrest the homeowner, they're the worst you could possibly get.
00:20:57.000Where, like, the cops will just, three in the morning, kick your door in, you look down the stairs, and there's a bunch of dudes in t-shirts and jeans, and you're like, I'm being robbed.
00:21:32.000Like, I have to imagine when the first car was invented, police weren't like, I know, let's put our name, big and bold, and sirens on top of this thing.
00:21:39.000I mean, unless maybe they, like, could you imagine horses?
00:21:41.000Like, when they had horses, did they write police on the horse?
00:23:08.000But when you have someone who is just blinded with rage, like, their eyes are glowing and they're just like, and they have like, you know, foaming at the mouth, how does- how do even their own faction communicate with them?
00:23:34.000Each and every one of these people was sitting at home and they were like eating an ice cream and then like the ice cream fell off the cone and landed on the floor.
00:23:41.000And they march on the street screaming and they take it out on the police.
00:23:52.000You know, a lot of these people on the left, they like to blame one thing for all the problems, you know, and that a lot of people do this.
00:24:00.000They're like, this is the one thing that is messing up everything instead of looking at everything as a whole.
00:26:49.000So, when you're looking at your opponent and you're playing these strategy games, you don't know the cards they're holding.
00:26:55.000And you have to try and calculate the likelihood of certain cards they might have to use against you.
00:27:00.000So your one problem in this battle against your opponent, there's no one problem.
00:27:05.000They're holding seven cards and you're like, any one of those seven cards could be one of seven, you know, seven I know they have that could end this game for me.
00:27:13.000Whereas you get these kids who grow up not doing any complex thought or critical thinking, and honestly snowplow parents clearing everything out in front of them, and then what happens?
00:27:23.000They grow up and they're sitting in their apartment and they're like, I'm unhappy.
00:27:54.000Where he's like, if you're generally, like, I don't know the whole line, but he's like... If you want to be angry at something, just join a cause.
00:28:09.000Yeah, and then he's like, and if you want to be on the extreme right, then you can talk about immigration, you can talk about, you know, Labour Party, and of course, moderates.
00:28:16.000It's funny, like, they're always mad at moderates.
00:28:18.000Yeah, but it's amazing how that skit really does circle back to today perfectly.
00:29:12.000Yeah, all the politicians are just, you know, they're unable to actually do anything.
00:29:17.000And I look at it, and I'm like, what I was saying before the show, we were talking about it, and I was like, I think that people who get into politics are the people who aren't skilled enough to actually make it on their own in a meritocracy, but they are smart enough to be a puppet for certain industries.
00:29:33.000So if they need the money to get elected, they can, yeah, sure, I'll adopt whatever cause you want me to adopt.
00:29:39.000And this is Democrats and Republicans alike.
00:29:46.000Whereas you wonder why it is that the talented, intelligent people who know what they're doing, know what they're talking about, won't do it.
00:29:52.000Well, it's because they're going to go start a business and make tons of money.
00:29:55.000Who would want to go work in politics?
00:29:59.000It's extremely expensive, very difficult to win.
00:30:47.000But in the chart, you could see weird gaps.
00:30:49.000And then they pointed out, it was like the New York Times, I think, saying like, at this point, the overwhelming majority of incumbents were voted out.
00:30:55.000It was like the American people revolting and saying, everybody, that's the best thing about our government.
00:31:00.000Is that there can actually be a revolution in the sense that every single politician in office can be removed within a couple of years, two to four years, or six.
00:31:34.000She just dumped $1.7 billion into social justice organizations, like full-on intersectionalism, because she cares.
00:31:42.000And I'm sitting here like, man, how do you compete with that level of cult power?
00:31:49.000Almost $2 billion being dumped into the cult.
00:31:53.000Well, I mean, there was a large chunk of that that went to minority schooling, and that I have no problem with.
00:32:00.000I mean, there's... I don't know where all the money's going, but I did see that there is a large chunk that's going to minority communities, and I'm okay with that.
00:32:11.000I have concerns about the power of billionaires to influence everything around us, especially when they're all pushing the same thing like open borders and things like that, and intersectionalism.
00:32:22.000Because intersectionalism is reactionary and it wants to revert this country back to an edictarian rule of law.
00:33:32.000Yeah, she said it was a narrative memory or something, some weird... She's like, it was never meant to actually be historical, it's just an origin story.
00:34:05.000And CNN was like, great, if it makes money.
00:34:07.000All of these people, in all of these institutions, are basically saying, we're gonna watch the whole thing burn to the ground and extract as much as we can while it happens.
00:34:18.000And that's what I'm seeing now, as they pump out more money in stimulus, more money, and I tell you what, I see these memes, right?
00:34:25.000There's a meme going around where it's like, if you're upset that your neighbor is getting $600 a week from unemployment, you should really be mad at your employer for not paying you more money.
00:34:37.000And I'm like, if the government guarantees 100% of your wages plus $600, there's literally no circumstance in which any business could compete with that because no matter how much you pay, they'll get $600 more.
00:34:52.000Now, there is an unemployment cap, I think, but they said 100%.
00:35:12.000So you see people like Mackenzie Bezos, who's dumping all this money into all of these programs and everything, some of which apparently are in favor of abolishing and defunding the police, that woman is gonna want, she will never want for anything again.
00:35:24.000She could hire 10 times the private security.
00:35:27.000In fact, you know what the craziest thing is?
00:35:29.000If you're rich enough, you can hire security who literally breaks the law for you.
00:35:33.000So like, I've seen videos where people have international private security, They'll punch a cop in the face.
00:35:54.000You're a beat cop making $27,000 a year.
00:35:56.000So you get someone with $60 billion in hard assets, mind you, who can convert that, they're gonna have 10 layers of security guards and you're not gonna be able to do anything against that.
00:36:05.000You defund the police, no one's gonna be able to come and arrest them for anything.
00:36:45.000And I look at what the politicians are doing and I'm like, I'm pretty sure when all of these people with pitchforks and torches start screaming, print more money and just give it to me, the politicians are like, well, it's burning down, whatever.
00:37:00.000I'm not gonna do what needs to be done.
00:37:02.000I'm just gonna do whatever I feel like.
00:37:16.000When you have every single progressive activist and all of their followers, I mean we're talking about probably all of the Democratic voters saying print more money.
00:37:26.000What we're saying with print more money is I want $600 a week plus 100% unemployment.
00:37:31.000They're saying things like cancel rent, you know, forgive loans.
00:37:35.000They're saying things like pay off all student debt, which is trillions of dollars.
00:37:40.000They already printed, what, six to eight trillion or something?
00:37:42.000Yeah, most of the people on the left are saying just print, print, print.
00:37:46.000And there's a meme now, money printer go brr, because they're just cranking out money.
00:40:10.000When we started getting phones that could actually browse the internet.
00:40:12.000I remember, man, back in like 06, I'm skateboarding and I had a candy bar phone with garbage mobile internet you could barely do anything with.
00:40:19.000Then the iPhone came out and it was extremely low resolution but it had browsers.
00:40:24.000Then Obama was president for two terms, and throughout that cell phones rapidly evolved, Donald Trump becomes president at a time when the internet had become substantially more influential.
00:40:44.000Someone, I don't remember who said this, but it is, it is essentially, well, you said the Model T, but it's like the original telephone.
00:40:51.000You know, when we were first able to actually communicate far distances, like that was amazing for the human race, like what we were able to do.
00:41:00.000Look at, look at the, you know, the technological advances we've made.
00:41:04.000So, now the internet is the telephone 2.0 for the human race.
00:41:09.000So, we're really not even... we don't even know that what it's doing to our brains, you know, being able to be... Definitely breaking them.
00:41:16.000We're changing them, not breaking them.
00:41:20.000We are evolving, you know, very quickly.
00:41:24.000I mean, when you're getting used to the internet, you know, it's becoming very second nature to just be like, well, let me just look it up.
00:41:30.000Well, I hate that term, but it's like it's become so you know second nature for people to just say that you know Oh, yeah, just Google it and you know you whatever you don't even need to use Google, but now it becomes this thing Well, I could just look up anything.
00:41:43.000I was looking thinking about right now I can check it out and look it up and and boom now.
00:41:48.000I'm suddenly that much more enlightened and There's a couple really important things that I'm trying to find real quick that break down when the big shift in the internet occurred.
00:41:58.000And there was a scientist who rejected, he refused to do an interview with the New York Times.
00:43:10.000It's crazy when somebody will tweet at me, something like, all these nasty things about me, and I try to respond politely or in an engaging way, and the only reaction they can have is spewing acid at me.
00:43:25.000So there was a viral post we talked about the other day at the Bill Barr hearings where this one congresswoman was like, Bill Barr, how did you not know about these men with guns, you know, showing up with Confederate flags?
00:43:37.000I responded to this female journalist.
00:43:39.000I said, but they were on state property, right?
00:44:32.000Who is saturated in the internet, so you're either one side or the other side now.
00:44:36.000They've really like Split us and this is what I don't think they're they're taking into consideration not everybody's on the internet most of Americans were alive and prospering before the internet became such a massive thing that we're now discovering.
00:44:54.000It's like, this is a new generation that we're seeing.
00:44:56.000That's why all the people that are out there, you know, throwing bombs and complaining are a younger group.
00:45:03.000Like it seems like they're all in their mid-20s, you know, coming out of college, maybe early 30s.
00:45:08.000I don't know, but it's like, they were raised on the internet and they were,
00:45:12.000that exact graph shows that they were affected by that.
00:45:23.000Rasmussen actually published something recently because Donald Trump tweeted about Twitter's bias and all that.
00:45:28.000Rasmussen replied by showing that in a poll they did the 18 to like 35 or whatever is very likely to be influenced by social media in terms of politics or somewhat and all other demographics were like not really that much.
00:46:27.000Yeah, classical liberal is a reference to, like, John Locke and, like, old school... So, classical liberal would refer to, like, a center-right position.
00:47:02.000When the far left says they're centrists, and they've been saying it over and over again, it's absolutely not true.
00:47:09.000It's an attempt to shift the whole wheel So that someone like me, who's actually center-left, will become right-wing, and they'll become center.
00:47:18.000That's how I've long described it, you know.
00:47:19.000Tucker Carlson did a debate with Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks, and they agreed on a whole bunch of things about economic policy.
00:48:45.000Then Donald Trump won on the Republican side and the never Trumpers, those people Bernie Sanders were criticizing, jumped over to the Democrats and said, we're with you.
00:48:55.000And so all of a sudden the Democrats started adopting that establishment politic.
00:49:44.000Once you know the truth, once you see what's actually going on, it's fairly straightforward.
00:49:48.000I was talking to Crowder, and I said, look man, I've always, and this was months ago, I can't remember exactly when it was, Stephen Crowder, for those unfamiliar, he's a conservative comedian, and I was saying things like, I've always considered myself a left-leaning independent, and I favor Democrats on a lot of issues, never really paid attention much to what the Republicans are all about, never really agreed with them, And then he asked me about pro-life and pro-choice, and I said, right, this has become a real problem for me.
00:50:16.000Because I grew up Catholic on the south side of Chicago, and then my family around the time I was like 11 or 12 just totally got away from the church and became more agnostic than anything.
00:50:27.000But still, regular Americans, at least as far as my family was concerned on the South side, being Chicago Democrats, thought that being pro-choice meant, what is it like, safe, legal, but rare.
00:50:38.000Like abortion should not be something you celebrate.
00:50:41.000Or something that you use as like a...
00:51:17.000So here was the problem that I brought up, and I'm talking to Crowder about it, and I'm like, look man, I'm pro-choice, for sure, but I definitely agree with Tulsi Gabbard.
00:51:25.000She said there should be limits up to the third trimester, and there's gotta be some kind of line that we can compromise on.
00:51:32.000And that's why I was like, I like Tulsi Gabbard.
00:51:34.000Now, she's out, and what's the position?
00:51:57.000So what's happening is the far left has moved so far left that the closest thing I could consider is someone who's to the right of me, because the far left is gone.
00:52:19.000If they're claiming right now they won in Portland, when they're agreeing to the terms of the DHS, and the DHS is saying, we're not gonna leave.
00:52:25.000You got schooled, or what was the, what did he say to him?
00:56:39.000So, for the longest time, because of this fake news, if you tried to YouTube search Tim Poole's YouTube or Tim Poole YouTube, it won't show you my channel.
00:57:24.000YouTube also makes a deal with the devil.
00:57:27.000Seeing the same problems, YouTube gets scared that they're being attacked by Legacy Media and tells Legacy Media, we'll do whatever you say.
00:57:34.000You know, on that note, I'm just going to take a little tidbit of time to tell you to share.
00:58:13.000He says Ezra Klein does a great job explaining what happened.
00:58:15.000The internet means news has to compete with more entertainment options and no longer has to appeal to any particular geographic region containing people with diverse values.
00:58:25.000The producers of politicized media are themselves the most voracious consumers of politicized media.
00:58:31.000The resulting distorted worldview is what leads the New York Times to assure us Trump had no chance in 2016.
00:58:38.000What happened in 2016 with them saying Trump was going to lose is still happening to this day.
00:58:44.000They don't want to anger their audience.
00:58:47.000They don't want to say things like Trump is actually winning because their audience will get mad and they won't click the article.
00:58:54.000So they tell the audience whatever they want to hear.
00:59:15.000And so I asked the president of the company, are you saying that if there is a fact-based news story that could offend our audience, we won't report it?
00:59:23.000And he said, I think that's fair, yes.
01:00:23.000But it's not for the older generations.
01:00:25.000They were trying to make, basically, a 20-year plan.
01:00:28.000Thinking, if young people are progressive, then we want to make media for them so they will age into it, and we will have a captured audience once they move into their 30s and become the powerful key demo.
01:00:41.000Probably because, for the same reason Donald Trump won, they don't understand what's really going on, and they're all spinning around in a toilet with each other, thinking they're getting reality, but it is a bubble.
01:00:53.000When Bill Barr was asked about systemic racism by the Democrat, he said, actually, a police officer is more likely to be, I think, 18 times more likely to be killed by, you know, an individual on the street than a black person is to be killed by a police officer.
01:01:30.000Like, that was literally all of you the entire time were sitting in a bubble, being as disrespectful as possible to cut him off.
01:01:39.000So he couldn't actually slam you with the truth.
01:01:43.000If someone knew this, if there was any one person who knew the stats as it pertains to crime in this country, I'd imagine the Attorney General would be one of the foremost experts.
01:02:18.000The reason I use that specifically is because they constantly make that argument like they are the people who are allowed to defy the experts and no one else.
01:03:29.000Almost every single one of these little boxes, there's a hockey stick, cultural appropriation, microaggressions, you know, bullied, exploited, discrimination.
01:03:38.000And these Democrats are reading all of this, believing it as law.
01:04:15.000They're the grifters who know they're manipulating the ignorant who are walking like lemmings off the cliff.
01:04:21.000And so they're like, well, as long as they're walking off the cliff and they hand me a couple gold shillings before they jump off the edge, I'm happy.
01:04:34.000Because they knew that Bill Barr was going to just lay it out and they had nothing to fear.
01:04:42.000So look, man, When you hear from these people that, like what this man here, Aram, is saying, that there's politicized media, it is a fact.
01:04:52.000We are absolutely politicized media here at TimCast IRL.
01:04:56.000I try my best to make sure I'm following an eclectic bunch.
01:05:00.000And I try my best to understand where these narratives are coming from, and I think it's fair to say that when you have the right being the big tent with former progressives, former liberals, moderates, centrists, conservatives, and staunch conservatives all agreeing the left is going off the rails, we're also all agreeing the New York Times is pumping out fake news, and then we can see literal evidence they're doing it.
01:06:18.000But based on the fact that all of these media companies are in the same bubble, believing the garbage coming out of the New York Times, they think they're going to win.
01:08:41.000You know, I think there are a lot of, like, disaffected liberals.
01:08:46.000They don't speak up, and so they get ignored, and that could be one of Trump's greatest advantages.
01:08:51.000So I tweeted something once about being a disaffected liberal, and it got retweeted by Mike Cernovich, and he has a bunch of Trump supporter followers.
01:09:01.000So as soon as he retweeted it, I started getting a bunch of replies from Trump supporters.
01:09:06.000Some lefty then commented saying, look at all of the replies, Tim.
01:09:31.000I get emails from people who are like, been following me since Occupy, I can't believe what's happened to the left.
01:09:35.000A lot of the people during Occupy Wall Street were very libertarian, very much so in favor of WikiLeaks, were against the, you know, they believe wealth inequality is a big problem, but they're not socialists.
01:09:47.000They just think that the working class people need, you know, we need a strong middle class and a strong working class.
01:09:52.000Oh, I'm finding a lot of similarities with my beliefs right now.
01:09:59.000I think that really sums up my political views to the best, is libertarian.
01:10:04.000I find something, you know, it was really fascinating that there was, I think it was the American conservative, argued Trump should have fired Bolton and hired Tulsi Gabbard.
01:10:28.000But I do find it fascinating that there are a bunch of core issues that unite conservatives and liberals under Trump because Trump ran as a moderate.
01:10:36.000So you want our troops out of the Middle East?
01:11:32.000But there is mainstream that does way better, right?
01:11:35.000So the interesting thing is, when it comes to individuals who search and choose, It tends to be moderate to conservative, anti-establishment content.
01:11:45.000When it comes to the general default liberal, they're gonna watch NBC, CNN, MSNBC, you know, whatever.
01:11:53.000And just get those fake news comments.
01:12:48.000You want to know why I said this was more serious?
01:12:52.000This is all part of the ongoing China conflict.
01:12:55.000And like I mentioned earlier, the Republicans' coronavirus spending bill included a bunch of really interesting things.
01:13:03.000And that's when I tweeted, are they gearing up for some kind of war?
01:13:07.000It was funny because I got a bunch of people who responded with disdain for the conservatives saying things like, Just like the Democrats, they're gonna shove in a bunch of things that they shouldn't into this bill just to get whatever they want.
01:13:53.000Bernie Sanders says the GOP COVID-19 bill includes $2 billion for F-35s, $1.75 billion for an FBI building, $1 billion for surveillance planes, $375 million for armored vehicles, $360 million for missile defense, $283 million for Apache helicopters, and $0 for millions facing eviction.
01:14:05.000360 million for missile defense, 283 million for Apache helicopters, and 0 for millions
01:14:15.000facing eviction, it's dead on arrival.
01:14:38.000Yeah, I mean, how many times have we talked about, you know, what's going on over there?
01:14:43.000You know, now that we look at them teaming up with Pakistan and India is basically going, come at us, China, we're ready for you.
01:14:51.000And, you know, Australia now isn't neutral anymore.
01:14:54.000They went to the UN and said, we are no longer neutral.
01:14:56.000We are siding with the United States in the South China Sea, and we're going to be joining them in stopping China from I want to go full conspiracy on this one.
01:17:03.000Considering what's going on with China, though, considering what's going on with the coin shortages, And just the weird TikTok stuff and the Three Gorges Dam satellite surveillance showing Pakistan and China are forming ranks on India's border.
01:17:20.000I mean, it really does seem like war is coming.
01:17:25.000And so when I see this, I'm like, how could it be that we publicly announce where we move our troops to?
01:17:34.000You know, I watch these old movies about World War II and stuff, and they'll capture an American soldier and be like, There are the troops!
01:17:47.000Unless, of course, they're not saying where they're going, legitimately, and they're withdrawing them, but some are remaining in Italy and Belgium for other reasons, like it's actually a strategic redeployment to other areas because of a potential looming conflict.
01:18:36.000You don't go to the movies and dump a bunch of quarters on the table.
01:18:39.000Yeah, but at the same time, it's like, how many businesses, what's the percentage of businesses that have closed over the past four months?
01:18:46.000Are you going to a restaurant with a bag full of change and being like, here's my change?
01:19:53.000It says, in the depths of World War II, medals used for America's coinage reflected the exigencies of battle and wartime prosperity at home, as the Mint tried new medals to replace those needed for weaponry abroad.
01:20:04.000This is part of a five-part look at the way war shaped America's coinage.
01:20:07.000It's talking about how World War II challenged the Mint.
01:20:10.000They had a decade of low production because of the Great Depression.
01:20:13.000Wartime prosperity dramatically increased the demand for coins, and they just kind of mixed it in.
01:20:17.000So it's a little different from where we are now.
01:21:48.000But I think there's a lot of, I don't know what the right word is for it, but it's like, With all of the news coming out about China, India, the South China Sea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, I mean, Trump's executive order was brutal.
01:23:11.000I'll tell you what, in light of everything that's been going on, whether or not there's a war with China, I think we are in for a wild economic collapse.
01:23:20.000Something, I mean, man, we keep talking about this bubble popping and it's like, there's a lot of bubbles right now.
01:23:41.000I mean, look, you can, you can, like, at some point, you know, the way I described it before was like, you gave your choice between, let's say you gotta hire a plumber because your toilet broke.
01:23:52.000Your toilet's broken, it's spraying water all over the place, it's a nightmare.
01:23:56.000And two contractors show up, and one guy's in a wheelchair sleeping, and the other guy's just smack-talking like crazy, and he's kind of like, like your wife is going like, oh, he won't shut up, and you're like, yeah, but honey, he's like...
01:24:08.000He's got the appropriate plumber butt, so, you know, we gotta trust him.
01:24:11.000No, it's like, he's got the tools, he's got five-star rating where everyone basically says online they can't stand the way he talks, but man, does he fix a toilet.
01:24:20.000What are you gonna do, you gonna pick the guy who's sleeping?
01:24:22.000Like, you might not like the guy the way he talks, you might not like the way he talks, you might really hate his attitude and think he's gross, but man, he's gonna fix the toilet, so just let him go and fix the toilet.
01:24:33.000And, you know, go about your business.
01:25:39.000It's people that are used to getting governmental help, and then instead of using the help to get off of the help, they get used to the help and stay on the help.
01:25:49.000And then they succumb to the system of being not accountable to themselves.
01:25:57.000And that is something that, like, what that did was It's like, no, people need to be accountable for themselves and earn their way to do stuff in this world, and that's how it should be.
01:26:52.000Mortgage-backed securities are going to crash again like they did in 2008.
01:26:55.000It is going to be a wild ride and already metals are spiking.
01:26:58.000And so I asked somebody who, I'm not going to pretend like this friend of mine is the foremost expert, but there's somebody who loves Bitcoin and metals and stuff.
01:27:07.000And they were like, this sounds like we're going to see a major dollar drop off.
01:27:12.000So like people buying metals because they're scared the dollar is going to be destabilized amid all of this mass printing of cash.
01:27:19.000I tried talking to my friends about it, man.
01:27:21.000When they talk about how we must just give people more money and I'm like...
01:27:27.000It may stave off the worst for a short time, but it's like you're burning the candle off as fast as possible.
01:27:39.000Yeah, you're going to get this cash now, but what's going to happen is that in a few months, in a year, you're going to be worse off than you've ever been.
01:27:48.000Imagine spending $30 for a gallon of milk.
01:27:52.000Like, this is a crazy economic crisis.
01:27:56.000It almost feels like all of these Democratic governors are treating Trump like some kind of cancer, where they're trying to poison the system as much as possible in hopes to just, like, get rid of populism.
01:29:46.000So when Trump tweets out a video, they'll nuke it because right now the establishment is desperately trying to maintain its grip over this country.
01:30:13.000I mentioned this several times, because back in 2015 and 2016, I knew progressives who were like, I mean look, there's a lot of people who were going to vote for Bernie who voted for Trump.
01:30:21.000Some of them told me straight up, it's because, there were a couple different reasons.
01:30:25.000There were the legitimate voters who were like, Bernie is a populist, he's a real politician, I trust him.
01:30:30.000Donald Trump's okay, he's not a politician, but if it's not Bernie, it'll be Trump.
01:30:35.000I also heard from more ardent activist lefty types who want socialism, they were like, if you elect Hillary Clinton, then you will have a bunch of placated liberals who will support the status quo.
01:30:48.000If Trump gets elected, it'll make them angry and give us an edge.
01:30:52.000If the far left agrees to vote for Biden and these progressives, it will embolden and reignite the establishment and give them an opportunity to regain control over the system.
01:31:03.000If they vote for Trump, Trump is a populist anti-establishment and that will basically be the end of the establishment.
01:31:10.000I wouldn't be surprised if the day Donald Trump gets re-elected, he just launches indictments.
01:33:07.000And the far left, the progressives, if they vote for Joe Biden and they kick the bull out, the establishment locks all the doors and keeps everybody out forever.
01:33:18.000And they will never allow it to happen again.
01:33:20.000But if Trump wins again, If Trump is going to crush the Democratic establishment... He's gonna finish what he started, baby.
01:33:26.000I'm like, why would the progressives oppose that?
01:33:28.000You might not get what you want from Trump, but at least he'll get rid of a mutual enemy, the establishment politicians.
01:33:37.000Finally get rid of these... Look, man, how many Republicans, the rhinos, retired?
01:33:42.000They didn't want to be inside this party because Trump...
01:33:49.000I mean, in my deep dive, I talk about how when he entered New York in the late 70s, the old money New Yorkers, they did not like him at all.
01:33:57.000They were like, you're new money and you don't belong in this environment.
01:34:02.000And he's like, I don't care what you say.
01:34:05.000I have the money to make this building.
01:35:22.000But I'd be willing to bet these establishment, I don't care if they're Republicans, and there are still many establishment Republicans, do-nothings, protecting their cronies on the other side, who would absolutely love it if people could not have upward mobility.
01:35:35.000You know why intersectionalism is so dangerous?
01:35:39.000You have, in 2010, left, right, up, down, whatever, people saying we have a problem with crony capitalists, revolving door politics where big corporations get in government and vice versa and insider trading.
01:36:14.000All of a sudden, you had people like Serena Williams, who is one of the wealthiest people on the planet, very, you know, extremely wealthy black woman, talking about how she's oppressed.
01:36:40.000And dumped identity politics into our laps.
01:36:43.000And what started as a populist, an economic populist movement saying wealth inequality, crony capitalists, get them out, turned into white privilege.
01:37:30.000People are coming to us because we want to give you the real truth of what's going on.
01:37:35.000You know, obviously everyone has bias, sure, but we're still going to try to show what's actually happening instead of this BS, which is them just shoving down, you know, intersectionality.
01:37:45.000Like you, you must, this is actually the truth of what's happening.
01:37:49.000And it's like, no, that's what you want everyone to think.
01:39:02.000So what happens is, YouTube takes action to protect the establishment when they complain, and a bunch of YouTubers realized this and started making new formats and new channels, because the new channels were never put on blacklists.
01:39:15.000So now all of a sudden, people are getting recommended our show, they're sharing our show, and it's growing faster than ever.
01:39:24.000If I didn't, you know, decide to make something bigger, hit you up and say, we gotta do this show where we talk about these politics, it would still be me on my main channels, blacklisted.
01:39:35.000How many people here wouldn't even know about these conversations?
01:39:39.000Even though they agree with a lot of it.
01:39:42.000So I decide, I gotta do a new channel, I gotta find somebody who I can have conversations with, I hit up my buddy Adam, and this is a new channel, not on the blacklist, where a lot of the same conversations are, it's actually more developed conversations, we talk to each other as opposed to my channel which is just like a rant.
01:39:57.000But all of a sudden now, YouTube, My channel, this channel not being blacklisted, is recommending it.
01:40:03.000People who agree are finding the conversation saying, these are important conversations, and it's getting around that lockdown.
01:40:26.000It was published by Breitbart and The Verge, mind you, left and right wing sources, showing this leaked video of them being like, we're all deeply offended by Donald Trump's victory.
01:40:41.000They had a big hearing today about big tech monopolies.
01:40:45.000I'd love for one of those Republicans to say, Adam Krigler mentioned that he wanted to vote for the president and he was, you know, he's basically a default liberal kind of guy.
01:41:00.000I would like to know that too, because there was nothing... I mean, I did call out the cooperation with China and that I think that they are working with China.
01:41:10.000But nothing you said was a violation of their rules.
01:41:17.000It was just simply that I am not a typical Trump supporter.
01:41:22.000I am someone that looks... I mean, my hair is tucked right now, but it's like, you know, I've got long hair and I look like I'm Fairly hippie-ish, you know?
01:41:30.000Video gamer, musician, you know, skater.
01:44:00.000The problem is, big tech monopolies incentivized this system, and I don't know how you solve that problem.
01:44:07.000I don't think the Founding Fathers could have foreseen the level and speed of communications, and more importantly, the algorithms.
01:44:13.000But I do think, in much the same way we have some restrictions on the Second Amendment, in terms of like, concealed carry permit or whatever, although many people probably disagree with any of those restrictions, I do think there may be very important distinctions between what these big tech platforms are doing and the First Amendment.
01:44:30.000The right to free speech, you could argue, does not give you a right to algorithmically manipulate people.
01:44:58.000But the bigger issue, I think, is that you are legally allowed to sell products in this country, but you can't defraud someone, tricking them into parting ways with their money.
01:45:07.000In that same vein, you can create a platform for speech, but algorithmically manipulating people is an entirely different thing from free speech.
01:45:19.000So what they do on Facebook and Twitter and YouTube, manipulating algorithms so that certain people only see certain things, is very different.
01:45:27.000And maybe there's some kind of argument that they shouldn't be meddling in who stands on the free speech platform and how they display it.
01:45:34.000It would be, in my opinion, a major advantage to some nasty people.
01:45:53.000And so people would... So there's a challenge.
01:45:56.000They have to make rules, otherwise the platform became just a bunch of dudes who would post a picture of women in bikinis and then it would be a video of something else.
01:46:05.000You'd see a thumbnail and it would be hot women and then click it and it would be a guy being like, so today I went and bought a hot dog and it would work.
01:46:12.000So they had to set, I don't know how you, I don't, I don't, I don't know how you solve the problem, but I'll tell you this.
01:46:17.000Political bias is destroying our democratic system, our democratic, you know, representative based system.
01:46:24.000And we cannot just allow it to keep going.
01:46:26.000The Backpacking Angler says, this money is to go to a Year Days button from JJBA.
01:46:33.000Also, Adam, for a challenge, build a piece of studio furniture using pallet wood.
01:46:45.000DeplorablePirateCaptainGunbeard says, Multnomah County, Portland has been under a burn ban since the 24th due to a drought and high fire risk.
01:46:53.000You'd think fireworks would be a big violation of that ban.
01:46:58.000Student of History says, told my late 40s coworker who grew up in NYC that people were surprised about UC cops and all he did was laugh his Puerto Rican A off.
01:47:22.000One doctor believes in witchcraft, and Dr. Fauci has always been right.
01:47:26.000What's the simplest way to explain Fauci to someone who hasn't been following?
01:47:30.000Well, you gotta understand the way you approach people in terms of, like, arguments, conversations, and new information.
01:47:38.000If someone comes up to me and they say, well, Fauci has always been right, if you respond with, that's not true, Fauci's wrong all the time, you're enemies.
01:47:45.000You respond with, yeah, I mean Fauci's, I actually think he's really great and yeah, I mean he's what, he's been around for like 30 plus years in the CDC.
01:47:54.000It is unfortunate that he came out early on wrong about masks, you know, to be honest, but I think he does a good job.
01:48:00.000Then you're not challenging them, you're not becoming their enemy, you're just saying, I get it, like, I like Fauci too.
01:48:06.000There was a couple things I think kind of hurt his credibility.
01:48:08.000So the way I always approach my friends is when they're like, people should listen to Fauci, I'll be like, totally agree.
01:48:14.000The only, you know, the only problem, I guess, is that, you know, when he came out in May, you know, and said, blah, blah, blah, some people immediately just blew him off, which is wrong because science changes.
01:48:24.000Then they're like, you're right, science does change.
01:50:21.000It's true but he rocks out of the park.
01:50:23.000I just posted on my Twitter feed earlier because it's just like I've never heard it all the accounts all like through the very beginning and then why they did each thing as they did and progressing all the way to Trump becoming elected to after till right now is like wow.
01:50:38.000That's the only time I've ever seen it all laid out so clear.
01:50:40.000It's one of the most difficult, whenever news breaks on like, so I recently did a segment on the Durham investigation.
01:50:48.000Durham announced, so John Durham is investigating.
01:52:19.000We are going to be setting up a new website soon too, so we'll have an updated email.
01:52:24.000Jonas says, I'm happy I found Timcast.
01:52:26.000You talk about real issues, cite your sources, speak fairly, and hold the media and political figures responsible for what they say and do.
01:53:10.000Scanner initially started out, check it out, we've got a really great video about Dr. Deborah So, and we interviewed her, and we do a lot of this.
01:53:17.000One of our first videos was a mini-documentary on Brett Weinstein and the Evergreen fiasco.
01:53:22.000If you want to understand what's going on with cancel culture that's sweeping the country, Look up, you know, SCNR on YouTube and Brett Weinstein, and it's a long documentary that I put together with Emily, who's now running Scanner, along with other people.
01:55:30.000The space we're in now was supposed to be temporary.
01:55:33.000Last year, I was trying to find a building to actually launch a full, like, multimedia network company.
01:55:39.000And then COVID happened, and we all just got trapped, basically, in this house.
01:55:42.000But now we're getting a bigger facility, and it's gonna have a ton of room, and we're gonna have a newsroom, and we're gonna have people dedicated to traveling, going on-the-ground reporting, doing interviews.
01:55:50.000Like I just mentioned, Scanner is doing documentary stuff.
01:55:55.000They're gonna do production and shows.
01:55:57.000And then I'm gonna be having more of a factoid-based Fact-checking, dare I say, explaining the news.
01:56:04.000Though we're not going to be partisan, it's going to be epic.
01:56:06.000We're going to basically take stories and dissect them based on the different coverage from different outlets, and then try and figure out where the truth actually lies based on these different narratives, while simultaneously calling out those who are egregiously violating journalistic ethics.
01:56:22.000So when someone says that a certain activist or whatever in Austin was unarmed, we'll highlight these lies and be like, here's the photo, here's the video evidence.
01:58:00.000Roto says, thank you for all the work you do calling out the media and modern left.
01:58:04.000Tried talking to my GF's lefty dad about it, but he continues to believe the insanity from the media while claiming to be aware of their lies.
01:58:57.000Blixem says, today's media and fake news reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 2 GW and AI to filter info on the net to provide context in a sea of useless data.
01:59:07.000Hideo Kojima saw this coming in early 2000s.
02:02:45.000I would rather live side by side with someone who's like, I'm gonna do my thing and leave you alone, versus the people who are like, you're gonna do my thing or else.
02:02:51.000Yeah, you can only be strict religious for so long before you're like, I just really want to let other people do what they want to do.
02:02:57.000Well, I just want people to leave me alone and do what I want to do!
02:04:58.000We're also on all those different beautiful podcast platforms where if you want to work, maybe you want to watch, you know, listen on your phone, these are things you can do.
02:05:42.000Listen, to be completely honest, there is a bit of self-interest in us being like, please let everybody know that we do this show because we literally do it for you guys and everyone else.
02:05:49.000But if you really do believe that CNN is garbage and we should get more, you know, a bigger audience than they do, and it's more important, sharing is the way we go about doing that.
