Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Residents Describe George Floyd Autonomous Zone As War Torn Hell w-Jack Murphy

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:37.000 you the Chauvin trial up in Minneapolis is tainted

00:01:06.000 Two jurors had to be removed because the city moved to settle with the George Floyd family for a record sum of $27 million.

00:01:15.000 They had to bring in all the jurors, they had to ask them all questions about, did you hear anything about a civil suit?

00:01:21.000 And a couple people were like, $27,000,000 ain't no joke.

00:01:24.000 The city basically admitted fault in this scenario.

00:01:28.000 These two jurors got removed.

00:01:30.000 My understanding is there's not going to be a delay.

00:01:32.000 The defense wants a delay, but who's going to assume this guy's going to get a fair trial at this point?

00:01:37.000 Now, part of this settlement was $500,000.

00:01:39.000 It's going to the community currently occupied by extremists at 38th and Chicago.

00:01:44.000 They're calling it an autonomous zone because activists have erected this giant Black Lives Matter communist fist. 0.75

00:01:51.000 They've put up barricades around the area.

00:01:54.000 And residents recently penned an op-ed with the Star Tribune, and it is horrifying.

00:01:59.000 It's not funny.

00:02:00.000 It's absolutely horrifying.

00:02:03.000 The people who live here are writing about how cops don't come, a 30-year-old volunteer was shot and killed, on multiple nights, 30 gunshots ringing out, children running and hiding, bullets riddling people's homes and garages.

00:02:16.000 We've talked about autonomous zones.

00:02:18.000 We've talked about Antifa and these extremists.

00:02:20.000 This one's apparently been going on for like nine months.

00:02:23.000 And it's being ignored by basically everybody, and I don't necessarily know why.

00:02:27.000 Now with the Chauvin trial happening, it's starting to get some attention.

00:02:32.000 And so I read this op-ed.

00:02:33.000 They said, revolution by day, de-evolution by night.

00:02:37.000 It's actually rather horrifying what they write about.

00:02:39.000 Some people there got into an argument about a parking space, so some random person just opens fire into one of the vehicles.

00:02:45.000 Apparently this has been going on all in the matter of like one week.

00:02:48.000 There's probably hundreds of gunshots that have rung out, people running and hiding, people almost getting hit in their own homes.

00:02:54.000 That's what's happening right now in Minneapolis.

00:02:56.000 And why?

00:02:56.000 Well, because extremists have taken over the area because cops can't get in, because cops don't want to get in, because cops have been fired, and the city defunded the police.

00:03:03.000 Now they've got to spend millions to bring these officers back.

00:03:06.000 It is...

00:03:07.000 It's a, I guess, a portent of what's to come.

00:03:11.000 If you defund your police and you allow these people to take over, you can actually see what the locals are saying.

00:03:15.000 So we're going to get into all that.

00:03:17.000 And we are joined today by the one and only Jack Murphy.

00:03:20.000 What's up, Tim, Ian, Lydia.

00:03:22.000 Good to be back every other Wednesday.

00:03:24.000 Jack Murphy.

00:03:25.000 I'm here.

00:03:25.000 I'm excited.

00:03:26.000 Let's do it.

00:03:28.000 Glad you're here, Jack.

00:03:28.000 I'm so happy to be here.

00:03:29.000 I like the shirt, it says Rogue.

00:03:31.000 It's the only brand I'll rep besides my own.

00:03:34.000 Oh, that's hot.

00:03:34.000 Hey guys, what's up?

00:03:35.000 Ian Crossland in the house.

00:03:37.000 You can go to iancrossland.net if you want a little more of that.

00:03:39.000 Ian, you're holding something.

00:03:41.000 You're right, Tim.

00:03:44.000 I thought it was his grandma blanket.

00:03:46.000 This is one of two colors of our new I am a gorilla diamond hand t-shirt, although I hear it's a misprint.

00:03:52.000 Yeah, that one was, I guess, printed too dark.

00:03:54.000 Came out a little dark.

00:03:55.000 Here's the other one.

00:03:56.000 Yeah, Teespring hit me up, or they're just called Spring now, and they were like, yeah, we kind of, you know, didn't do this right.

00:04:01.000 We're going to send you some corrected ones.

00:04:03.000 So you can't see his hands.

00:04:04.000 But so, you know what we could do?

00:04:06.000 We could give these away.

00:04:07.000 They're not nearly as shocking and offensive as the other misprint that happened.

00:04:11.000 But we can give these away.

00:04:13.000 So we'll figure something else out with that.

00:04:14.000 Maybe just randomly send to members at TimCast.com.

00:04:17.000 We'll pull a bunch of random emails and then send an email saying, you know, we're going to send you a free shirt.

00:04:21.000 Because we have 30 of them.

00:04:22.000 There's 15 men's and 15 women's.

00:04:25.000 And it's the Diamond Hands Gorilla shirt, where basically we have that meme about I'm a gorilla because of, you know, Alex Jones.

00:04:31.000 This gorilla is wearing a suit and tie, holding wads of cash with sunglasses on while he's smoking a cigar.

00:04:35.000 Because this guy knew what it meant to hold onto his GameStop stonks And once the price skyrocketed, then he cashed out and got rich.

00:04:42.000 Those tendies have done well for him.

00:04:44.000 Looks like a spliff in his mouth.

00:04:46.000 It's supposed to be a cigar.

00:04:47.000 Don't say that.

00:04:48.000 Just saying it looks like one.

00:04:51.000 So go to TimCast.com, shop, you can get your own Diamond Hands Gorilla T-shirt.

00:04:55.000 We also got it pinned in the chat.

00:04:57.000 And that's always greatly appreciated.

00:04:59.000 And become a member at TimCast.com because we'll have, you know, exclusive members-only content as we usually do.

00:05:03.000 Nice material, by the way.

00:05:05.000 Yeah, the shirts are really nice.

00:05:06.000 I like this place.

00:05:07.000 The one thing we hear from everybody is they're like, you know, if, like, there were a series of misprints that went out, but they really love the quality of the shirts.

00:05:13.000 High quality product.

00:05:14.000 High quality.

00:05:14.000 Hanes.

00:05:15.000 That's the company.

00:05:16.000 Apparently there's like a biodegradable, like, eco-friendly one.

00:05:21.000 Only the best from spring, you know, when they make the misprint.

00:05:24.000 But anyway, anyway, we have a sarcophagus.

00:05:27.000 Let's press all the buttons.

00:05:28.000 If the cameras are moving, I'm here pushing buttons.

00:05:31.000 Someone's got to push the buttons.

00:05:32.000 Hello, button pusher.

00:05:33.000 Hello.

00:05:33.000 You know, look, we're having we're having a lot of fun.

00:05:35.000 We're having a laugh.

00:05:36.000 We are.

00:05:37.000 Jackson enjoying a nice, a nice beverage.

00:05:39.000 I am.

00:05:40.000 I'm drinking a beer since that went so well last time.

00:05:45.000 I'm starting off with this local Harper's Ferry beer.

00:05:50.000 I don't know anything about it, but I'm drinking it and it tastes very good.

00:05:52.000 They're amazing.

00:05:53.000 We're basically doxing ourselves by giving them a shout out, but they deserve it.

00:05:56.000 Harper's Ferry, California.

00:06:01.000 I drive from D.C.

00:06:03.000 to California every other Wednesday.

00:06:05.000 It's worth it.

00:06:06.000 Is there a Harper's Ferry in California?

00:06:09.000 Somebody somewhere is Googling.

00:06:11.000 Well, the brewery is not really in Harper's Ferry, but we went up there and we grabbed a bunch of their beers and we try to make it up there so often.

00:06:20.000 And we decided to buy a whole bunch.

00:06:22.000 And I'm not a big beer drinker, but it's good stuff.

00:06:24.000 It is good stuff.

00:06:24.000 It's 6.2 lager, so I'm feeling it.

00:06:26.000 Is that good?

00:06:27.000 That's good.

00:06:27.000 It's like a hundred cans, I think, right?

00:06:30.000 We bought a ridiculous ass. 1.00

00:06:31.000 That would be 98 now. 1.00

00:06:32.000 But check it out, it's because when we have people over... How many bottles of beer on the wall?

00:06:35.000 When we have guests and they're like, I would like a beer, what are we gonna do?

00:06:38.000 Be like, we have Bud Light.

00:06:39.000 No offense to Budweiser.

00:06:41.000 No, that beer's amazing.

00:06:41.000 And if you'd like to send over a pallet and or sponsor the show, we'd be entirely open to that.

00:06:46.000 No, no, no.

00:06:47.000 But it's cool to be like, you're only going to get this beer here while you're in town, unless you go to Harper's Ferry.

00:06:51.000 But that's what we got.

00:06:52.000 It's like a grapefruit blend, isn't it?

00:06:54.000 This this beer is is high powered clips in a can.

00:06:58.000 This is how I'm seeing it.

00:06:59.000 So let's go for it, guys.

00:07:00.000 Come on.

00:07:00.000 Well, so the reason I wanted to kind of start off a little slow and kind of just be silly and have fun and talk about beer and stuff, because this this subject is going to get dark.

00:07:07.000 Dude, this Chauvin thing is crazy.

00:07:09.000 I don't know how this guy can get a fair trial.

00:07:11.000 We're gonna get into it.

00:07:12.000 Thank you.

00:07:13.000 And before we do, go to TimCast.com, become a member.

00:07:15.000 We had Lieutenant Colonel Allen West on the show yesterday.

00:07:18.000 That dude is incredible.

00:07:19.000 I was so honored and humbled that he wanted to come on the show and talk about his The issues that are relevant to him and his career and military service, so I was incredibly honored.

00:07:30.000 And I guess everyone really loved him being on the show.

00:07:33.000 Afterwards, we did an exclusive segment with him where he talked about critical race theory, wokeness, how it's affecting politics, and of course, he's no fan.

00:07:39.000 It was a really interesting conversation.

00:07:40.000 I have to admit, I probably have a lot of opinions you've heard from a lot of people, but it's interesting to hear it from, you know, a veteran of both the political space as well as the military.

00:07:49.000 So go to TimCast.com, become a member.

00:07:50.000 Don't forget to like, share, subscribe if you really do like this show.

00:07:53.000 Leave us a good review on iTunes, Spotify.

00:07:56.000 If you haven't already, check that out.

00:07:57.000 You can get it there.

00:07:58.000 Now we're gonna get dark, and that's why I was like, let's go slow a little bit with this one, because when I saw this op-ed, this is from March 15th.

00:08:06.000 Star Tribune.

00:08:07.000 Near George Floyd Square, revolution by day, de-evolution by night.

00:08:11.000 I saw this, and I'm like, oh, this'll be interesting.

00:08:13.000 You know, they're gonna talk about, you know, Antifa.

00:08:15.000 I actually assumed they were gonna be... I thought it was gonna be positive.

00:08:19.000 I thought they were gonna be like, these activists have come, and they've helped us, and they've brought all this goodness and organization.

00:08:26.000 And then I just got a couple paragraphs in, and it just got so incredibly dark.

00:08:32.000 I'm scared for these people, man.

00:08:33.000 I'm scared for what's going on.

00:08:35.000 And it's horrifying to me that, you know, they have the, like, barricade saying, no way, no, no, as in, like, mentally no justice.

00:08:44.000 And I'm willing to bet there are a lot of well-to-do liberal types.

00:08:47.000 They hear about this stuff, these autonomous zones, and they're like, good for the activists.

00:08:51.000 They don't care about the locals.

00:08:53.000 They don't care about what they're saying, and they will do nothing to help these people.

00:08:57.000 This story, I'm not going to read through every little bit of it.

00:08:59.000 But I'll read a little bit right now to give you an introduction to what's going on.

00:09:02.000 They say, As neighbors of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, also known as George Floyd Square or the Autonomous Zone, we are witnessing a revolution by day and a devolution by night.

00:09:12.000 Prayer gatherings cancelled.

00:09:14.000 Rallies cancelled.

00:09:15.000 Visitors arriving with flowers in hand only to retreat to their cars when greeted by the sound of gunshots.

00:09:21.000 Neighbors ducking for cover behind our houses, children in tow.

00:09:25.000 The spiritual health of our community, the feeling of being connected to something larger than ourselves, is collapsing.

00:09:31.000 Here's an account of some of the events of the past 10 days on one block adjacent to George Floyd Square, where police are met by hostile groups when responding to our repeated 911 calls.

00:09:45.000 March 6th, 545 p.m.

00:09:47.000 A 30-year-old volunteer is killed in the zone by gunshot.

00:09:50.000 People in the zone are seen picking up shell casings and throwing them into city garbage, loading the gunshot victim into a car to drive him to the hospital.

00:09:58.000 8.20 p.m.

00:09:59.000 Neighbors call 911 again, as multiple shots ring out.

00:10:02.000 Children, listen.

00:10:03.000 March 7th.

00:10:04.000 Six garages along our alley are hit by gunfire.

00:10:07.000 One with its owner inside, a car crashes through a fence into a family's backyard.

00:10:12.000 An 18-month-old had been playing by the fence minutes earlier.

00:10:15.000 5 p.m.

00:10:17.000 30 shots hit cars and windows and siding of at least one house.

00:10:21.000 Narrowly missing residents watching TV.

00:10:24.000 Parents and children out biking and walking on a sunny day duck behind houses.

00:10:27.000 Children watch bullets kicking up dust in the street.

00:10:31.000 A zone leader visits a bullet-riddled house to comfort the family while others from the zone are observed picking up shell casings behind her.

00:10:38.000 March 8th, 2.30 p.m.

00:10:40.000 Multiple shots fired.

00:10:42.000 A man is photographed perched atop Cup Foods with an assault rifle on a tripod.

00:10:47.000 Children cry.

00:10:48.000 Zone medics are offered to visit neighbors and provide mental health support to those being traumatized.

00:10:55.000 9.50 p.m.

00:10:56.000 30 shots ring out.

00:10:58.000 A person complains to a neighbor that the neighbor is parked too close to the person's car.

00:11:02.000 A zone occupant, with no connection to the other parties, fires multiple shots into the neighbor's car and house.

00:11:08.000 The neighbor, a military veteran, is in the driver's seat and recognizes an assault rifle with a 30-round clip.

00:11:15.000 The shooter walks back into the zone.

00:11:17.000 Four police squads caravan through and meet the neighbor nearby, 1016 PM.

00:11:22.000 A second 911 call provides a description of the shooter, who remains in the area appearing to wait for some target.

00:11:28.000 Police have just received a call about a teen and adult shot two miles away.

00:11:32.000 Resources exhausted, the police do not respond to our call.

00:11:36.000 The shooter in the zone walks away.

00:11:39.000 1045 PM, 3rd 911 call of the night.

00:11:42.000 As some neighbors are picking up shell casings, people near the first statue in the zone repeatedly yell, get the F outta here!

00:11:49.000 Then a gun is fired from near the first statue.

00:11:51.000 Four men come out of the zone to tell neighbors, they weren't shooting at you.

00:11:55.000 The neighbors ask if they are zone security and are told no, but one man reports he has his gun.

00:12:00.000 Neighbors ask how to protect themselves and are told the best thing to do is fill the street corners with garbage containers to block off our streets.

00:12:08.000 There's more.

00:12:10.000 There's more.

00:12:10.000 I'm not going to read through literally everything.

00:12:12.000 They just talk about 9 15 p.m.

00:12:14.000 March 12th, 30 shots from inside the zone.

00:12:16.000 I'll point out a few things I think need to be corrected.

00:12:19.000 I do not believe this, uh, they mentioned a person, you know, witness recognizes a, a 30, an assault rifle with a 30 round clip.

00:12:27.000 I do not believe there was someone there with like a clip fed M1 Garand that was modified for full auto or something like that.

00:12:34.000 I think Star Tribune, the people who live in this neighborhood don't know much about guns.

00:12:39.000 And what they're actually saying is that someone had a rifle of some sort with a 30 round magazine.

00:12:45.000 If it is true, however, that they do understand the context of Assault Rifle, meaning Select Fire Rifle, what they're telling us is that somebody was perched atop a building in this area with a fully automatic rifle on a tripod.

00:12:59.000 Now, I really doubt it was full-auto.

00:13:00.000 This person probably was just thinking they were gonna protect the neighborhood, and they mounted an AR-15 of some sort, a rifle, semi-automatic, on a tripod with a 30-round magazine.

00:13:12.000 I don't know why they would need to do that unless the police have been defunded, extremists have taken over the area, and residents are now cowering in fear.

00:13:20.000 And you know what's interesting?

00:13:21.000 They say medics are being provided for those who are being traumatized. 0.97

00:13:25.000 You know, typically when we hear about these Antifa zones and trauma, we usually fan it off like a bunch of weak, pathetic college kids who think hearing a fart is gonna traumatize you. 0.95

00:13:35.000 Or that journalist who fired an AR-15, probably a 5.56, and then got PTSD from doing it. 0.67

00:13:41.000 No, I think these families are absolutely going to be suffering PTSD because it sounds like they're in a war zone.

00:13:46.000 Cars crashing through a fence, 30 rounds ringing out at some point, a 30-year-old being shot and killed.

00:13:52.000 We heard about that story when it happened.

00:13:54.000 The police tried to come and render aid.

00:13:55.000 They were barred.

00:13:56.000 And then what happens in these autonomous zones, the extremists pick up the evidence, the shell casings, and they destroy all the evidence.

00:14:03.000 When the security in the, I believe it was the CHAZ, Executed those kids for 10 minutes.

00:14:09.000 We're just unloading round after round.

00:14:11.000 Hundreds of rounds they reported.

00:14:12.000 What did they do afterwards?

00:14:14.000 Well, the police couldn't get in, so they stripped the vehicle of evidence so that nobody would know who did it and what they did.

00:14:20.000 Now it's been happening in Minneapolis.

00:14:22.000 All while we have this trial going on.

00:14:24.000 I don't know how you have a, I can't believe they're having this trial for Chauvin in Minneapolis right now.

00:14:30.000 They need to move him to Bumpkinville somewhere far away from all of this stuff, all of the press, all of the gunshots, all of the settlement, and then just let people in different community hear this because there's no way this guy's getting a fair trial.

00:14:41.000 This is, this is where we're at, man.

00:14:43.000 I think that's the point, right?

00:14:44.000 Like why did they overcharge him in the first place?

00:14:47.000 Why did they, why was the settlement number public?

00:14:51.000 Aren't settlements usually private?

00:14:54.000 Isn't that the whole point?

00:14:55.000 A lot of times is we're going to settle this and not talk about the terms.

00:14:58.000 I guess it's the city.

00:14:59.000 So maybe they have to reveal it, but it seems to me, if you're going to settle and put that statement of that number out there, what you're basically saying is we think we're guilty and, you know, why settle it now?

00:15:09.000 Why did they settle now?

00:15:11.000 It was sabotaging the trial.

00:15:13.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:15:15.000 Yes, they sabotage.

00:15:17.000 Everything is about sabotage in this.

00:15:19.000 It seems to me that they're setting us up for a tinderbox.

00:15:22.000 It is a tinderbox.

00:15:24.000 It is being stuffed filled with kindling.

00:15:26.000 They are just waiting for the spark.

00:15:28.000 I don't get how people are calling 911 from inside the zone to police outside the zone and it's not being treated as like a hostage situation.

00:15:36.000 That's what it sounds like.

00:15:37.000 It's like a federal hostage situation and the city is not willing to Well Biden's not going to do anything.

00:15:42.000 He's not going to say anything.

00:15:43.000 itself. They're the one.

00:15:44.000 These are the people that actually defunded the police after all the

00:15:47.000 riots. Right. These are one of the jurisdictions that actually did.

00:15:49.000 They did. So the elected officials believe that the people

00:15:53.000 that elected them put them into power to make decisions like this to

00:15:56.000 defund the police.

00:15:57.000 Man, could you imagine living like that?

00:16:00.000 I look, man, I, I, everybody knows I grew up on the south side of

00:16:03.000 Chicago.

00:16:04.000 I remember I'd be, you know, sleeping and you hear, pow, pow, pow, in the middle of the night.

00:16:08.000 And you just, you're laying down, so what can you do?

00:16:12.000 You know, go to the floor if you hear it closely, but usually it's far away.

00:16:15.000 I remember hearing from a friend of mine, I was talking to him on the phone late at night because we were going to go skate or something, and then he's like, oh, dude, hold on a second.

00:16:23.000 Yeah, there's a couple people dragging... Dude, they're dragging a body.

00:16:28.000 He basically said, what he told me was, that he saw two people going through an alley carrying a rolled up carpet with feet sticking out the back of it.

00:16:36.000 Even going to a place like this, I could not imagine 30 shots ringing out.

00:16:42.000 Cars crashing through fences.

00:16:44.000 They're shooting into cars with people in them.

00:16:46.000 They're shooting into people's garages, like through the garage.

00:16:49.000 Now, if you read the police blotter from Washington, D.C.

00:16:51.000 from any given day, you're going to have all of those things on there.

00:16:54.000 But that's what I'm saying.

00:16:56.000 Plus 10 extra murders, plus all kinds of like it's insane.

00:17:00.000 And if you read the police blotters from my neighborhood, even where there's like a million dollar houses, it's terrifying.

00:17:06.000 But this is all within basically what, like 50 yards of the same intersection?

00:17:10.000 They said, in this op-ed, this is one block.

00:17:12.000 That's insane.

00:17:13.000 One block.

00:17:13.000 So they're saying 38th and Chicago is the George Floyd Square.

00:17:19.000 So there's probably four adjacent blocks, one going east, west, north, and south, or whatever the directions they have it built in.

00:17:27.000 Maybe it's north by northwest or something.

00:17:30.000 And this is one of those blocks adjacent to the memorial.

00:17:35.000 We read about that story, man, where the 30-year-old volunteer was shot and killed.

00:17:38.000 But this is just so much like what happened in Seattle.

00:17:40.000 You'd think the first time this happened, then police would take it seriously.

00:17:45.000 But I want to add to this, when will there ever be a federal response to what's going on with these extremists?

00:17:51.000 Because I'm willing to bet, you know, they mentioned that one of these guys who was shooting had nothing to do with the neighbors who were arguing.

00:17:57.000 I'm willing to bet, we call them the tourists.

00:18:00.000 Right.

00:18:00.000 So, you know, since Occupy, me and several of many journalists, friends of mine, we would notice there were always these similar people we would see at the same events.

00:18:08.000 We knew their names.

00:18:09.000 We called them tourists because they would even fly to China.

00:18:12.000 A couple of them flew to Turkey to engage in protests.

00:18:16.000 For what reason are you in China protesting?

00:18:19.000 Okay, like, there's a lot of things protesting China, for sure.

00:18:21.000 But they were protesting mainland China for, like, very specific Chinese domestic policy.

00:18:25.000 And I'm like, what is this?

00:18:26.000 Who are these people?

00:18:27.000 Why are they doing this?

00:18:28.000 I bring this up not to say that, you know, I don't know what it is they're doing.

00:18:31.000 How many of these people in the autonomous zone are not from Minnesota?

00:18:34.000 How many of them crossed state lines, potentially armed, And and are committing these crimes.

00:18:40.000 Burning Man was canceled this year.

00:18:43.000 So look, if you look at the murder numbers, this is happening all over the country.

00:18:47.000 Murder numbers are back up to their 1990s levels.

00:18:51.000 Wow.

00:18:52.000 1990s, which is coming out of like when DC was called the most, you know, the murder capital of the world.

00:18:57.000 DC was?

00:18:58.000 DC was the murder capital of the world in the late 80s.

00:19:02.000 And that's when I first moved to DC.

00:19:04.000 And that's when I got my first taste.

00:19:06.000 Thanks, Dad.

00:19:07.000 That's when I got my first taste here.

00:19:09.000 So, you know, on one hand, this really makes me feel sympathy for people that do live with this kind of violence.

00:19:16.000 And it's not maybe as extreme, but they do live with it.

00:19:19.000 I mean, we're talking hundreds and hundreds of murders in DC with a population of 500,000.

00:19:23.000 Yeah, that's a lot per capita.

00:19:26.000 And it was so bad that after the 1968 riots, the city gets burned out, crack cocaine, crime, everybody left the city.

00:19:37.000 Anybody that could leave the city left the city.

00:19:40.000 Anybody that could leave the city, that's it.

00:19:44.000 The could is the key there.

00:19:45.000 People who are impoverished get trapped in these places and it creates a cycle of poverty, crime and violence.

00:19:51.000 Totally.

00:19:51.000 And when I was doing real estate development in the 90s, we would go around rehabbing houses.

00:19:55.000 And I remember specifically there were always the houses always had bars on the windows.

00:20:00.000 Some of the houses had bars on the doors and the windows.

00:20:02.000 Some of them had bars on the windows on the second floor.

00:20:06.000 Okay.

00:20:06.000 But the cake, the cake is when I figured out what I had did a house that had bars on the roof hatch on the inside on the second floor of their townhouse.

00:20:16.000 There's a roof hatch to go up into the attic and up into the roof.

00:20:19.000 They had bars inside their house on the second floor roof hatch because they were they had to pay somebody to come in there and weld it.

00:20:27.000 Because someone broke into their attic?

00:20:28.000 Because people had been breaking into homes through the attics and invading people's houses.

00:20:33.000 So that's like a level of violence that people were accustomed to in the 80s and the early 90s in D.C.

00:20:39.000 This sounds familiar.

00:20:41.000 On the heels of what?

00:20:43.000 Riots, breakdown of order, people moving out, the police stepping back, and just allowing this crime to take over by design in this case.

00:20:53.000 This is a war zone, what they're describing.

00:20:55.000 I've been.

00:20:56.000 I've been in civil conflict.

00:20:58.000 I've not been in full-scale war.

00:21:02.000 I have not reported from places where you've got, you know, active, you know, belligerent, militaristic, national, whatever.

00:21:09.000 But I have been in countries.

00:21:10.000 I was in Egypt during the revolution.

00:21:11.000 I was in Ukraine during, you know, a lot of that conflict.

00:21:15.000 Molotovs were being thrown.

00:21:16.000 People were getting shot.

00:21:17.000 Venezuela.

00:21:19.000 I'll tell you this, based on what they're reporting, I felt safe, like, reading this, and I'll preface this with, I don't know what it's actually like to be there on the ground, but when I was in Venezuela, nowhere near as scary.

00:21:30.000 If what they're going through right now with an autonomous zone sounds more deadly than Caracas, which is the murder capital of the world now, I can only imagine, I mean, Something's got to be done about it.

00:21:43.000 This is... I mean, look, there's photos, I guess.

00:21:46.000 There's a photo of a giant Black Lives Matter communist fist right in the middle. 0.84

00:21:51.000 Is this what people can expect when this ideological faction continues to gain power and expand?

00:21:56.000 All right, here's two things that are really important.

00:21:58.000 One, Black Lives Matter and Antifa should be acting as decentralized cells, not trying to hold territory like this and using politics and other punctuated moments to get their agenda across.

00:22:09.000 Holding territory for them seems like a strategic failure, right?

00:22:13.000 Because they're just setting up this environment in which they can be blamed for virtually everything.

00:22:17.000 Right.

00:22:18.000 But at the same time, It strikes me as being so bad for them.

00:22:23.000 Such a propaganda failure, right?

00:22:30.000 If I were designing a circumstance to make Black Lives Matter and Antifa look bad, I would encourage people to go to this autonomous zone and start shooting things up and start blowing things up. 0.98

00:22:39.000 Or you would encourage them to create the anonymous zone, because you know what invariably leads to when cops don't come anymore. 0.95

00:22:45.000 It seems like such a bad idea, and maybe they're just this stupid, but it seems like such a bad idea that it feels like it's somebody else doing it. 0.73

00:22:53.000 It's like an info op. 0.98

00:22:53.000 I mean, look, the fist symbol they use is literally the communist fist symbol, you know, so I'm not going to pretend that a lot of these people realize what it is. 0.98

00:23:04.000 They don't know the core ideology behind a lot of what they're doing.

00:23:07.000 There are a lot of people who, and this is to be fair and be respectful, support Black Lives Matter because they

00:23:13.000 genuinely believe police go around hunting down black people.

00:23:17.000 Thousands in a year, right? 0.95

00:23:18.000 And it's not true. It is the big lie pushed by the media over and over again and the algorithms of big tech to

00:23:24.000 convince people basically the apocalypse is happening. And it's just not true.

00:23:29.000 Are there problems?

00:23:30.000 Yes.

00:23:30.000 Should cops be held accountable when they break the law?

00:23:32.000 Absolutely.

00:23:33.000 Should we get an inquiry and investigation whenever someone dies?

00:23:36.000 And a police officer?

00:23:37.000 You bet!

00:23:38.000 Whenever someone dies, we should figure out what happened.

00:23:41.000 But these people have adopted a fringe, violent, extremist ideology.

00:23:46.000 And right now, you know what they're saying?

00:23:47.000 You hear these articles come out and they're like, racist extremists are the biggest threat. 0.99

00:23:51.000 White supremacists are the biggest threat. 0.99

00:23:53.000 Okay, okay, sure, fine. 1.00

00:23:55.000 I don't care if you want to say they're the biggest threat.

00:23:57.000 By all means, law enforcement, do your job, target the biggest threat.

00:24:00.000 But can we have a real conversation about how serious this threat is as well?

00:24:04.000 So I'll say it's not the biggest threat, but it's certainly a big threat.

00:24:07.000 To whom?

00:24:08.000 Threat to whom?

00:24:10.000 Civilians. 0.65

00:24:11.000 Well, who are white supremacists the biggest threat to? 0.76

00:24:15.000 Oh, minorities? 1.00

00:24:16.000 But we know that that's not actually the case. 0.96

00:24:19.000 White supremacists.

00:24:20.000 What do you mean by that? 0.99

00:24:21.000 Well, the number of murders of black people committed by other black people far exceed any white supremacy murder. 0.75

00:24:27.000 Can we get a fact check on that? 0.98

00:24:29.000 I'm pretty darn sure about that.

00:24:30.000 It far exceeds any. 1.00

00:24:32.000 So white people are more likely to kill white people. 1.00

00:24:36.000 Black people are more likely to kill black people. 1.00

00:24:37.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:24:38.000 So, you know, in these areas, it's particularly interesting when you have white progressive Antifa types going into minority areas and burning down black businesses and contributing to that, that, that conflict.

00:24:48.000 But, but I think they're specifically talking about terror and political, not, not like random street violence and muggings.

00:24:55.000 Right.

00:24:55.000 So here's the irony of that.

00:24:57.000 It's written by the white dominant, I'm using their words, white dominant supremacy culture, the white oppressive structures. 0.95

00:25:05.000 The government is saying that the biggest threat is white supremacists. 0.91

00:25:09.000 To whom? 0.91

00:25:10.000 Well, up to the government.

00:25:12.000 They're not actually saying... Well, right, they're saying terrorism.

00:25:14.000 Right.

00:25:14.000 But they're not actually talking about who the threat to minority people.

00:25:18.000 They're very specifically coming at it from a white power structure perspective, saying white supremacists are the biggest problem.

00:25:25.000 So ironically, if minorities are picking up that as a position, I don't think that's actually what they're saying.

00:25:31.000 I see what you're saying.

00:25:34.000 They definitely fear the threat from the Q people and, you know, far-right groups storming the Capitol and stuff.

00:25:40.000 But we just had that atrocity happen with that incel guy who went to the Asian massage parlor. 0.98

00:25:46.000 So, this is what I'm saying.

00:25:49.000 I'm not here to argue.

00:25:50.000 They're wrong.

00:25:51.000 By all means, if the experts come out and say racist extremists and white supremacists are the biggest threat we face, I say, well then, thank God you guys are on top of this one.

00:26:01.000 No joke!

00:26:02.000 If you guys are actually tracking down the extremists and going to stop the violent criminals from committing atrocities, then I'm glad you're there, because we don't want that to happen.

00:26:09.000 Okay, great.

00:26:10.000 Now, do you have any extra police or federal agents that can stop The autonomous zone extremism that's putting people under occupation and making them live in fear and under violence under the boot of these extremists?

00:26:22.000 Because I don't understand why they can't do that.

00:26:23.000 I don't understand why they can send out a dozen agents for a garage pole rope for that NASCAR driver because they thought it was racist.

00:26:30.000 But they can't do anything to stop this? Because the government doesn't want it in

00:26:34.000 Minneapolis, in Minnesota. The people don't want it. The elected officials don't want it.

00:26:39.000 The city councils are the ones that move to defund the police. That entire community is

00:26:44.000 affected in, sorry, infected top to bottom apparently with this mind disease, right?

00:26:50.000 And the part that you pointed out... Well, not at the bottom.

00:26:53.000 These are the ones who are writing the op-eds saying people are fleeing and we refuse.

00:26:56.000 Sure.

00:26:56.000 We want our city back.

00:26:57.000 Sure.

00:26:58.000 So they're coming into close contact with reality now.

00:27:01.000 What all this... All these people who are like, oh yeah, Black Lives Matter, defund the police.

00:27:06.000 I'm all for that.

00:27:07.000 Who could be against Black Lives Matter?

00:27:09.000 Well, this is what happens when you've been taken as a unwitting foot soldier in a war where you don't know what the end goal really is or any of the ideology behind what you're doing, what you're saying, and you just become a pawn.

00:27:22.000 And now these people are figuring out that they're pawns, but there's no one in that political apparatus that wants federal agents to come in there and fix this or state troopers to come in there and fix this.

00:27:32.000 And they've already told their local police not to fix it.

00:27:34.000 This is what they wanted.

00:27:35.000 That's true.

00:27:36.000 So I feel bad for these individuals who are there now coming face to face with these policies.

00:27:43.000 And you know what?

00:27:43.000 I'll add on top of this.

00:27:44.000 First and foremost, anybody who's facing a distressing, war-torn, chaotic moment like this, you got my sympathy.

00:27:50.000 And I want you to get there.

00:27:51.000 If you come to me and you're like, hey, man, I was wrong.

00:27:54.000 Defunding the police was a big mistake.

00:27:55.000 Please can you help us?

00:27:55.000 I will say yes.

00:27:56.000 Yes.

00:27:57.000 So if they're coming out and they're saying that now, I will also say to all the people who voted for it and still sit back and say it's a good thing.

00:28:02.000 Well, then you get what you deserve.

00:28:04.000 Yeah.

00:28:04.000 You vote for it.

00:28:05.000 You want it.

00:28:05.000 Don't, don't, I'm not going to interfere.

00:28:07.000 I've been thinking about this for about 15 minutes during war, World War II, I think 20 million soldier deaths, 50 million civilian deaths, something like that.

00:28:15.000 The number was like two to one in war.

00:28:17.000 And that's in like an organized soldier on soldier conflict.

00:28:20.000 When you see this city violence, it's the civilian death and destruction that is just goes under the radar.

00:28:26.000 But you know what?

00:28:27.000 You know what?

00:28:27.000 I got to say it.

00:28:29.000 If you don't pay attention to the news, if you do nothing, evil triumphs.

00:28:34.000 But the problem that we have today is the world has become too complex and it's impossible for an individual to make sense of the world, determine right and wrong, up from down.

00:28:46.000 It is impossible to do that today, right?

00:28:48.000 Because we live in a purposefully polluted information space.

00:28:51.000 It's impossible for anybody working outside of that space.

00:28:55.000 So you expect the journalist to distill his information and give you an accurate worldview so you can make better choices. 0.94

00:29:01.000 Instead, what you get now is rage-bait garbage. 0.98

00:29:04.000 Ridiculous stories, drama, articles, so-and-so's fighting with so-and-so, or whatever. 1.00

00:29:10.000 That's what you get. 0.92

00:29:12.000 Yeah.

00:29:12.000 Here's the latest bigot Tucker Carlson is now Donald Trump sayeth Brian Stelter

00:29:15.000 Oh, we know why he did that because CNN's ratings dropped by something like 50 some odd percent and another like 47

00:29:22.000 in the key Demo, so they're there. They're there. They're on dire straits.

00:29:26.000 They were they were a white devil. They need a new villain Yeah to report on to keep everyone all going crazy 0.99

00:29:33.000 It's not gonna work.

00:29:34.000 No one cares about Tucker Carlson, Brian.

00:29:36.000 They tried doing Marjorie Taylor Greene, but nobody cares about a freshman congresswoman. 1.00

00:29:41.000 Okay, well, how about Tucker?

00:29:42.000 He's got the biggest show on Fox News.

00:29:43.000 Sorry, bro.

00:29:44.000 People are hitting me up.

00:29:46.000 A lot of people hit me up and they're like, Tim, YouTube is suppressing my channel right now.

00:29:49.000 What's happening?

00:29:50.000 As soon as the election was over, they started hitting my channel.

00:29:52.000 I was like, no, no, no, no, no one's suppressing your channel.

00:29:55.000 Nobody cares.

00:29:56.000 Okay.

00:29:57.000 During, I mean, look, we did, we, you were on the show on January 6th.

00:30:00.000 We had like, you know, 80,000 people watching, a million views in the first night of live viewership.

00:30:07.000 And then like 800 or 900,000, you know, video on demand views.

00:30:10.000 And now viewership goes way down because we're coming off of that political season.

00:30:15.000 Fortunately for us, we're a small podcast with small business. Things are going well,

00:30:21.000 but for CNN, oh no, they're getting crushed and it's getting brutal.

00:30:25.000 To finish that last point, though, on this complexity of the world,

00:30:29.000 it was once upon a time, I believe, rational to be ignorant of politics.

00:30:35.000 You're not going to be able to deduce everything.

00:30:37.000 You're not going to be able to figure it all out and make a vote that's going to count, right?

00:30:41.000 Because it's never just been decided by one vote. 0.98

00:30:44.000 So there was a little rationality to being ignorant. 1.00

00:30:46.000 But today, it is irrational to be ignorant. 1.00

00:30:49.000 If you are ignorant and you just accept what's given to you over the mainstream media and through the legacy and through our institutions, you will end up fat, sick, chained to a desk, in debt, working for a corporation, wearing a mask, staying at home, putting your kid in quarantine next to you, listening to him cry out for you. 0.99

00:31:07.000 And you'll think that we live in a world where white supremacy is the biggest problem and that Black Lives Matter just means we want black people to have a good life. 1.00

00:31:15.000 That's what happens when you don't pay attention. 0.66

00:31:17.000 Let's do this.

00:31:18.000 You're bringing this stuff up and, you know, we'll derail a little bit from the main conversation,

00:31:23.000 but I want to show you this tweet. 0.98

00:31:24.000 So I saw this earlier and this guy, Joe Hart tweets, translation, how to tell you're a loser. 0.91

00:31:30.000 Did you see this tweet? 0.86

00:31:33.000 I retweeted it myself.

00:31:34.000 So this woman, her Twitter handle is Cats Against Humanity, says, How to tell you're an adult. 0.84

00:31:39.000 You gain 30 pounds overnight.

00:31:41.000 You'd rather sleep than go out.

00:31:43.000 Everything hurts.

00:31:45.000 Comfort comes before style.

00:31:47.000 You have a favorite spatula.

00:31:48.000 Everything feels like a chore.

00:31:50.000 College students look like 12-year-olds.

00:31:52.000 You're always annoyed AF.

00:31:55.000 You know what I thought as soon as I saw that?

00:31:56.000 That you do have a favorite spatula.

00:31:58.000 No, no, no.

00:31:59.000 You're depressed.

00:31:59.000 Yeah, that lady's depressed.

00:32:01.000 She's depressed.

00:32:01.000 This is not normal.

00:32:03.000 Is this what people are experiencing?

00:32:04.000 It's so much so that she's experiencing depression, and she thinks it's normal because she sees other people experiencing this, that she's like, it's just being a normal adult.

00:32:13.000 No, lady, dude, you are in serious trouble, okay?

00:32:16.000 Listen, if you're gaining 30 pounds overnight, what are you eating, and why aren't you getting physically active? 0.96

00:32:22.000 Are you just sitting around and eating garbage food?

00:32:24.000 Sounds like you got a favorite spatula. 0.99

00:32:26.000 You'd rather sleep than go out?

00:32:28.000 Dude, that is a principal sign of depression.

00:32:30.000 Indeed.

00:32:31.000 For everybody listening, if you would rather sleep than go out, force yourself to go on a walk.

00:32:35.000 But what does that girl do, though? 1.00

00:32:37.000 She's like some sort of creator, right?

00:32:39.000 I have no idea.

00:32:40.000 I think she is.

00:32:40.000 She's a creator.

00:32:41.000 I clicked through.

00:32:42.000 Maybe her brand, maybe she monetizes being depressed.

00:32:45.000 That's messed up.

00:32:46.000 These commercials like we know life is hard.

00:32:49.000 Like they'll start off like that.

00:32:50.000 They're trying to sell you a drug or something like a pharmaceutical.

00:32:53.000 It's so hard.

00:32:54.000 And it's gonna get worse.

00:32:55.000 Like let's everyone just accept this premise that life sucks so that we can sell you our product.

00:33:00.000 Yeah, antidepressants. 0.89

00:33:02.000 She says everything hurts.

00:33:04.000 And I'm like, listen, if you're laying in bed all day, maybe you have bed sores or you've become soft

00:33:09.000 from being inactive.

00:33:11.000 Comfort comes before style.

00:33:13.000 Yes, you've gained a ton of weight.

00:33:15.000 This is a painful cycle people fall into.

00:33:18.000 They start getting out of shape, gaining weight.

00:33:20.000 Then they start feeling bad about themselves.

00:33:22.000 So instead of going out, getting active and reversing it, they retreat back inside.

00:33:27.000 She says, everything feels like a chore.

00:33:29.000 That's literally depression.

00:33:30.000 Now to be fair, college students do look like 12 year olds.

00:33:33.000 All right, that one I agree with.

00:33:35.000 But I don't know.

00:33:35.000 Are we going to talk about that again?

00:33:37.000 She says you're always annoyed AF.

00:33:40.000 This is just like, it's sad millennial depression.

00:33:43.000 But listen, what I'm seeing from this is, if she's a creator, if she's an influencer, and she thinks this resonates with her audience, millennials got serious problems.

00:33:51.000 It does.

00:33:52.000 So my girlfriend is a hairstylist, and every day in her chair she has an endless stream of women between 25 and 55 coming into her chair. 1.00

00:34:00.000 And when you sit down in a hairstylist chair, it's sort of like sitting down at the therapist because you're not making direct eye contact and you can just spill your guts.

00:34:09.000 And of course the whole time she's just like, oh yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

00:34:12.000 And she tells me that the women all say the same thing.

00:34:14.000 Every single one that comes into her chair talks the same way. 0.99

00:34:17.000 Depression, gaining weight, the world sucks. 0.99

00:34:20.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:34:21.000 This is a common theme.

00:34:22.000 What's causing it?

00:34:22.000 Is it the food, sugar?

00:34:24.000 What's causing that?

00:34:25.000 It's always sugar.

00:34:25.000 Sugar.

00:34:26.000 It's not just always sugar.

00:34:27.000 Well, it's like the drug.

00:34:28.000 It's like more addictive than cocaine, I think.

00:34:31.000 But I think we've got cultural problems.

00:34:34.000 So like, you know, looking at the Grammys, for instance, the ratings went way down.

00:34:38.000 I bring this up, cultural decay.

00:34:40.000 People aren't looking forward to things anymore.

00:34:43.000 I think it might be the sugar, man.

00:34:45.000 I think that's an oversimplification.

00:34:47.000 It's super simple, but it's the path of least resistance, right?

00:34:51.000 Everybody is dealing with some crazy cultural problem right now, where we've got social media making people depressed, they want likes, they're desperate for it, but there's no actual community event for them to go out to.

00:35:03.000 And that's what I think is a big factor here.

00:35:04.000 Yes, but what we need to look at is whether or not the rates of anxiety and depression were this high in February of 2020 as they are now.

00:35:13.000 And I would guess that they are.

00:35:16.000 I think I think they are.

00:35:17.000 Yeah.

00:35:17.000 I think that depression, anxiety among females especially was as it may be higher now.

00:35:22.000 I think it's I think but it was high before Corona.

00:35:26.000 I think it's fair to say depression and anxiety are probably very similar among men and women.

00:35:32.000 I think it's probably just a lot of guys who won't talk about it.

00:35:35.000 I've been the most depressed in life when I was eating crappy. 0.90

00:35:39.000 I used to eat like oats, just buckets of oats, honey, sugar, and just felt like crap.

00:35:47.000 My eyes would be all puffy, my skin would get all pale. 0.63

00:35:50.000 And as soon as I cut that stuff out, man, just life got easier.

00:35:53.000 I think it's a marketing pitch right now, too.

00:35:56.000 What's that mean?

00:35:57.000 You know, like, recipes are all like, you're depressed and not feeling good.

00:36:01.000 I'll get you to be here.

00:36:01.000 Buy my brownie recipe.

00:36:03.000 Or, you know, more like take this drug.

00:36:05.000 Join my thing.

00:36:06.000 Buy my content.

00:36:07.000 Buy this shirt.

00:36:08.000 Is Supernautica right for you?

00:36:10.000 Buy your comfy pants.

00:36:12.000 You know, like, it's a marketing thing.

00:36:15.000 But why is it a marketing thing?

00:36:16.000 Because it resonates.

00:36:17.000 Why does it resonate?

00:36:18.000 We could go back two weeks, talk about our other discussion, which I won't get into now.

00:36:21.000 But I do firmly believe that those structural relationship issues have led to this.

00:36:25.000 You've got a decline.

00:36:26.000 There was an article talking about how young men are becoming, are staying virgins longer and longer and longer.

00:36:31.000 There's a lot of reasons for this.

00:36:34.000 But I think when you and we can talk about all the different correlations in human behavior, why millennials Why are they so... What's up with the wokeness, right? 0.99

00:36:44.000 Because I did a segment about this a couple of years ago.

00:36:47.000 I think one of the big factors in this, you know, for this woman, why they're depressed, is a lack of purpose in life.

00:36:54.000 We used to have purpose.

00:36:55.000 You guys know what blue zones are?

00:36:57.000 You know what blue zones are?

00:36:58.000 Yeah, parts around the world where if you live there, you eat the diet that's indigenous there, and you get the sunlight and the air, you live to like 150 years old or whatever.

00:37:06.000 That may be the issue.

00:37:07.000 Blue zones are areas where people live to be over 100, and there's a certain combination of factors they found in all these different places.

00:37:14.000 You know what one of the most important things was?

00:37:16.000 Purpose.

00:37:17.000 I remember watching an interview where there's this 100-year-old Japanese guy chopping wood.

00:37:22.000 And the woman's like, why are you doing this? 0.99

00:37:25.000 Shouldn't someone else do this?

00:37:26.000 And he goes, who's going to do it?

00:37:27.000 And she's like, well, there's younger people who can chop the wood. 0.79

00:37:29.000 He's like, no, no, no, I have to do it.

00:37:30.000 Otherwise, no one else will.

00:37:32.000 So what happens is...

00:37:35.000 They talk about how at retirement, it's the most common age of death.

00:37:39.000 When you retire from your job, people just lose purpose.

00:37:42.000 You take a look at these millennials.

00:37:43.000 They don't have purpose.

00:37:44.000 Their purpose is to post a picture of themselves that's fake.

00:37:47.000 Instagram reality.

00:37:48.000 That's what they call it.

00:37:49.000 A fake photo of themselves to try and maximize how many likes they can get.

00:37:53.000 And it's making people depressed.

00:37:55.000 It's not just the social media factor that's making people depressed.

00:37:58.000 It's that they have nothing to do with their lives.

00:38:00.000 So we get one of two things.

00:38:02.000 You get all the ultra-woke people who have filled the void in their hearts with, the world is racist.

00:38:08.000 You know, oh, we've got to occupy this zone for justice. 0.80

00:38:12.000 We've got to go down here and what, shoot people? 0.82

00:38:14.000 Is that what you think is giving you purpose? 0.99

00:38:16.000 Well, apparently they have nothing else.

00:38:18.000 So when that white SUV pulled up in Seattle, they were like, this is my mission, and they just unload into it.

00:38:23.000 It's because they have nothing to live for.

00:38:25.000 On the other side, what do you get?

00:38:27.000 Incels.

00:38:28.000 Incels.

00:38:29.000 You get young men who are angsty and angry, who don't go out, who don't go for walks, who don't exercise, who feel completely defeated, who feel that they're too ugly, there's something wrong with them, and they'll never succeed.

00:38:39.000 And Jordan Peterson, you know, there's a reason why what he said resonated with a lot of these young men.

00:38:44.000 Find the heaviest thing you can carry and carry it.

00:38:46.000 He was basically saying, get out and do something.

00:38:49.000 So you have, I see this very much so, not every millennial, many of them have filled the void with fake purpose, activism, and nonsensical threats to their existence, and the other half have just abandoned purpose and just play video games all day and waste away.

00:39:03.000 This is leading to mass depression in my opinion, but there's a lot of other factors too.

00:39:06.000 Huge amount of factors, but you're absolutely right.

00:39:09.000 The number one issue is a loss of meaning.

00:39:12.000 And part of that is because we've diminished the value of nationalism.

00:39:16.000 Surviving for your country, thriving for your country, not a thing.

00:39:20.000 It's not cool to be a nationalist anymore, popularly.

00:39:24.000 I mean, even if... I think there could be a global effort towards, like, the ISS or something.

00:39:30.000 Or to going to Mars.

00:39:31.000 Yeah.

00:39:31.000 We don't have that either.

00:39:32.000 Yeah, we need something like that.

00:39:33.000 There's no... Where's, like... You know, we land on the moon, and it's this big television broadcast, look what we're doing, we're amazing, and everybody was like, look how awesome we are.

00:39:42.000 It was competition.

00:39:43.000 But we don't even have cooperation.

00:39:46.000 Between like any goals. There's no goal. Okay, even if you're even if people were like it's about nationalism

00:39:52.000 Okay Well, you can have a cooperative contest a friendly

00:39:54.000 competition between various nations to help develop the proper composite component

00:39:59.000 Whatever for getting us a lightweight material strong flexible and finding a way to colonize Mars. We don't have

00:40:04.000 that space elevators We don't have anything like that

00:40:07.000 We have some people who very much like the idea, and then we have a dominant culture of posting fake pictures on the internet, posting dumb videos, complaining about somebody for some reason, and then what do you get?

00:40:17.000 You get Cats Against Humanity saying they're gaining tons of weight, they'd rather go to sleep, everything hurts, they have a favorite spatula but everything feels like a chore, and they're always annoyed.

00:40:25.000 They're depressed.

00:40:26.000 Okay, this is a very complex subject and there's a lot of factors in it.

00:40:31.000 This is all by design.

00:40:34.000 Eliminating meaning from your life is by design.

00:40:38.000 First, and I'm not particularly religious, but they've destroyed your relationship with God. 0.72

00:40:44.000 God gave people meaning.

00:40:46.000 He did.

00:40:47.000 Okay.

00:40:48.000 Listen, listen, religion also gave people community.

00:40:50.000 Yes.

00:40:51.000 They would show up to church.

00:40:52.000 They would talk, they would know who was there.

00:40:54.000 They would know, you know, Oh, I can't wait to tell so-and-so about, you know, this or that.

00:40:58.000 It's all gone.

00:41:00.000 Take away God.

00:41:01.000 Take away your nation.

00:41:04.000 Take away your community.

00:41:06.000 Take away your family. 0.96

00:41:08.000 Hell, take away your identity as like, I'm just a dude. 0.99

00:41:14.000 Not anymore. 0.97

00:41:15.000 Not anymore.

00:41:16.000 You know what?

00:41:17.000 There's no meaning by design.

00:41:21.000 Why?

00:41:21.000 So that you can have your ego, your sense of self, and everything about you obliterated, smashed into a million billion pieces, and then you can be whatever they want you to be.

00:41:33.000 Communist, socialist, anti-racist.

00:41:37.000 Mostly the same thing.

00:41:38.000 A worker drone, a purchaser, a consumer.

00:41:40.000 They want to sell you stuff.

00:41:41.000 They want to break you down and build you up.

00:41:43.000 It's not the capitalists.

00:41:46.000 It's the communists that do that.

00:41:48.000 Dude, I want the documents in front of me because I agree with you.

00:41:50.000 We've had James Lindsay was on last week talking about it.

00:41:53.000 It's like an 80-year-old communist plot, basically.

00:41:56.000 I mean, this has been going on since the 1930s, was it?

00:41:58.000 Look, I talked to the leading Russian philosopher.

00:42:03.000 Who helped in the 80s and 90s formulate the way to destroy America.

00:42:08.000 I talked to him directly and he admits the whole point is to destroy meaning, is to destroy barriers, is to erase boundaries and barriers that give you identity and give you a place in the world.

00:42:21.000 If you look out into the universe, it's infinity.

00:42:24.000 Your brain explodes when you're confronted with infinity.

00:42:27.000 The only way that we can have sanity is if you make barriers and boundaries and identify who you are and have an identity and give yourself meaning.

00:42:34.000 All the institutions that gave us meaning, gone.

00:42:36.000 Corrupted universities, churches, government, nationalism, all of it, gone.

00:42:41.000 It's all gone.

00:42:42.000 All the sources of meaning in our life are gone.

00:42:46.000 It's by design, and we need to build back that meaning.

00:42:49.000 What's the end result?

00:42:50.000 The end result is people that are too depressed, too scared, too anxious to fight back against anything, to be an individual, to even know what's right.

00:42:59.000 They get turned into these mindless drone foot soldiers that are like, Black Lives Matter, right on, except they don't understand what that really means. 0.70

00:43:06.000 They don't realize that the fist they hold up is actually the communism fist.

00:43:11.000 It's not even an exaggeration.

00:43:12.000 That black fist everyone sees. 0.98

00:43:14.000 It was really interesting when I saw the fist popping up everywhere, and people were calling it the Black Lives Matter fist.

00:43:19.000 I never really thought much about it, but it's the communist fist.

00:43:22.000 So one on the arm pillow?

00:43:23.000 That's the same thing?

00:43:23.000 Right.

00:43:24.000 It signifies... So for those that aren't familiar, There's something called the, what is it, the fascists?

00:43:30.000 Yeah.

00:43:31.000 It's the, it's the bundle of sticks wrapped around, wrapped around with a blade in the middle of some kind of weapon.

00:43:35.000 Oh.

00:43:36.000 Uh, fashies or however you pronounce it.

00:43:37.000 What bundle of sticks was something else? 0.89

00:43:39.000 Fascist. 0.96

00:43:40.000 Uh, yeah, the, the root, the root of fascist is a bundle of sticks. 0.97

00:43:44.000 Is that funny?

00:43:44.000 Isn't a bundle of sticks?

00:43:45.000 Isn't there a word that we're not allowed to say anymore that also meant a bundle of sticks?

00:43:49.000 Because it represents that each individual, individual stick is weak, but together, bound together, they are a strong and powerful weapon.

00:43:56.000 The fist signifies literally the same thing.

00:43:59.000 Each individual finger can be broken, but when you combine them, you get a powerful fist.

00:44:04.000 And so this symbol goes back, I think, a hundred years to much of the communist revolution stuff we saw in the early 1900s.

00:44:09.000 And now Black Lives Matter quite literally uses the communist fist.

00:44:13.000 Oh, they're communists.

00:44:14.000 I don't know if you saw that, Lydia.

00:44:15.000 It's this fist.

00:44:16.000 Uh, you can also get a, get a, our pillow, I think on Tim.

00:44:20.000 I'm going to make a real quick shameless plug here. 1.00

00:44:21.000 If you are a man and you feel like you don't have any meaning and your community has been obliterated and you're not allowed to be a nationalist and you've lost touch.

00:44:29.000 We have an antidote for that.

00:44:30.000 We're building intentional communities.

00:44:31.000 This is, this is the answer to the future.

00:44:34.000 Liminal order.

00:44:34.000 Come check it out.

00:44:35.000 Liminal.

00:44:35.000 I think I don't, I understand what you're saying about nationalism, but I think it's just general community.

00:44:40.000 Yeah.

00:44:41.000 Like, people who lived in Texas 30 years ago didn't have the same ideals as those who lived in New York, but they had a community that gave them purpose, and then beyond that there was a shared national identity and specific goals.

00:44:54.000 If you go back to the 60s, fighting the Cold War was important to basically everybody in this country.

00:44:59.000 Today, man, you couldn't find unity to stop China's concentration camps if you tried. 0.66

00:45:04.000 They argue about what the right approach is.

00:45:06.000 Nobody wants to get on board with any plan.

00:45:09.000 And we just kind of sit back and let everything fall apart.

00:45:12.000 Meanwhile, what are we complaining about?

00:45:13.000 Oh, Cardi B and Candace Owens.

00:45:15.000 We're going at it on Twitter, I suppose.

00:45:17.000 Well, I think there is an issue there in how the media manipulates the narrative.

00:45:21.000 And we'll absolutely go after Candace Owens for criticizing what we saw at the Grammys. 1.00

00:45:26.000 It's interesting that our culture has become culture war.

00:45:31.000 The culture war is our culture.

00:45:33.000 What we are interested in talking about in mainstream television is shock content and hating each other.

00:45:39.000 CNN.

00:45:40.000 What is CNN's main goal?

00:45:42.000 What has it been for four years?

00:45:44.000 Complaining about Donald Trump.

00:45:45.000 Trump is gone?

00:45:46.000 Okay, let's try Tucker Carlson.

00:45:48.000 And it was really funny, Frank Luntz, the famous pollster, tweeted at Brian Stelter when he tweeted this, maybe try covering the issues instead of some guy.

00:45:56.000 And then Brian was like, maybe you should watch the full segment because I... No, dude, talk about the issues.

00:46:00.000 I'm not interested in any of these individuals necessarily.

00:46:02.000 I mean, sure, we can call out bad behavior when it's particularly egregious.

00:46:06.000 But our culture is nothing now, for the most part, other than, here's who I don't like.

00:46:11.000 Meanwhile, you know what China's culture is?

00:46:13.000 We're expanding into the South China Sea, we're building military bases on the atolls, we're building fake, we're building artificial islands to hold weapons.

00:46:21.000 And you know what's really scary?

00:46:22.000 Donald Trump ordered what's called an elephant walk.

00:46:24.000 Well, I believe it was Trump, it was Trump administration.

00:46:27.000 Where we sent bombers and fighters to Guam, and we have them go along the runway to show how powerful we are.

00:46:32.000 And did you know that we were treated?

00:46:34.000 We retreated our forces from Guam when they were supposed to be doing that elephant walk to show how powerful we are.

00:46:39.000 Way to retreat.

00:46:39.000 You know why?

00:46:40.000 Because China's military capabilities could have wiped out the entire fleet before they could get off the ground.

00:46:45.000 Talk about a sign of weakness for the United States.

00:46:48.000 Now what do we get?

00:46:49.000 Wokeness in the military.

00:46:51.000 The chief diversity officer to make sure that everybody is being treated properly.

00:46:55.000 Gender neutral testing.

00:46:56.000 And now all of a sudden they're like, we gotta get rid of that because the women aren't passing. 1.00

00:46:59.000 Gotta have equal outcomes.

00:47:00.000 Women can't get promoted if they can't pass the physical exam, therefore we gotta change the physical exam so they can pass more. 1.00

00:47:06.000 That's what we're worried about in this country.

00:47:08.000 Bill Maher said it, and it is an excellent quote. 0.99

00:47:10.000 We are a silly, silly people. 0.99

00:47:12.000 China? 1.00

00:47:13.000 They're as serious as a prison fight.

00:47:14.000 That's what he said.

00:47:16.000 I think we really need a second coming of Christ.

00:47:19.000 Because Elon's not getting it done.

00:47:21.000 If Elon Musk can engineer our exposure to Mars and build technology that can... I am not going to Mars.

00:47:28.000 I know.

00:47:29.000 It can preserve our species.

00:47:30.000 He's the engineer that can help us preserve our species.

00:47:32.000 Going to Mars is going to hell.

00:47:34.000 But it's not enough.

00:47:35.000 If people don't rally around Elon, we need Jesus... Hold on, hold on.

00:47:41.000 Stop these associations.

00:47:43.000 Yes, sir.

00:47:44.000 Mars is not hell.

00:47:46.000 What do you think the colonists, the early pilgrims and colonists thought about crash landing?

00:47:51.000 I'm exaggerating.

00:47:53.000 What do you think they thought about getting on a boat for three months with a 1 in 5 chance of dying to land on a shore where there's no food, no water, no shelter, nothing?

00:48:00.000 First of all, they believed that there would be food and they believed that there would be water because they knew they were going to be on Earth, first of all.

00:48:07.000 And they knew how to hunt, and where they were living already, they were already fending off the land.

00:48:11.000 I am not going to Mars.

00:48:13.000 There's nothing you can say to convince me to go to Mars.

00:48:15.000 I don't want you to go to Mars, but guess what?

00:48:18.000 So you're saying that people who left Europe to come to the new world had the ability to farm and hunt?

00:48:24.000 Yeah, dude.

00:48:25.000 So wouldn't the people going to Mars have the ability to use the technology sent there beforehand to produce food and water and shelter?

00:48:31.000 I suppose if there's water and food and sunlight and air temperatures.

00:48:35.000 Comparing Mars to the new world in the 1500s is insane.

00:48:40.000 It's not insane.

00:48:40.000 It's insane!

00:48:41.000 The people who would be going to Mars are going to have technological advancements on their side.

00:48:45.000 Is there oxygen there?

00:48:47.000 There will be, yes.

00:48:47.000 It's in the water under the surface.

00:48:50.000 Okay.

00:48:50.000 It's in the ice.

00:48:51.000 Turn Mars into Earth.

00:48:53.000 You gotta melt the ice.

00:48:54.000 And then I will go.

00:48:55.000 There's no magnetosphere.

00:48:56.000 I think they can nuke the holes. 0.93

00:48:58.000 Maybe.

00:48:59.000 Space sounds terrible.

00:49:01.000 Right.

00:49:01.000 You don't understand.

00:49:02.000 The people who are getting- I don't understand.

00:49:04.000 Yeah, these big wooden ships, the technological advancements that allowed them to actually make it across the Atlantic, thousands of miles.

00:49:10.000 These were very brave people.

00:49:12.000 No doubt.

00:49:12.000 Who didn't know what they were going to encounter, and there wasn't going to be food or shelter.

00:49:17.000 In fact, Thanksgiving, they almost died because they had nothing to eat and they were saved, right?

00:49:22.000 So what I'm saying is, it is, yeah, substantially harder to be a pioneer to another planet.

00:49:28.000 I don't think we need to go to Mars.

00:49:30.000 The alternative hypothesis around Thanksgiving is like, look at us show off this abundance of food.

00:49:38.000 Before we go to Mars, we're going to be sending supplies and technology so that the people who finally arrive will be able to build large ecodomes with food and supplies that will last them for years, with consistent amounts of supplies coming in.

00:49:51.000 I understand a lot of people are scared of this because it's a one-way trip for the most part and you may die on a red planet.

00:49:57.000 I'm not saying we need to go to Mars.

00:49:58.000 It better be green by the time I get there.

00:49:59.000 It's not ever going to be green.

00:50:01.000 Yeah, it could be.

00:50:01.000 I thought that's what you were just telling me, that it was going to be green.

00:50:04.000 You can seed bomb it.

00:50:05.000 There's no magnetosphere in it.

00:50:06.000 Whatever Prometheus is.

00:50:07.000 Yeah, but you can seed bomb the ice. 0.99

00:50:08.000 You can't maintain water on the planet because they can't maintain an atmosphere.

00:50:11.000 I think there is, it's just a light one.

00:50:14.000 There's no way to maintain an atmosphere.

00:50:15.000 It's dissipating.

00:50:16.000 Are you trying to talk me into it or out of it, bro?

00:50:18.000 I'm trying to explain to you that we used to have people on this planet who are willing to sacrifice in the name of reaching new heights, of challenging themselves and finding freedom.

00:50:31.000 And now we have a bunch of people who, instead of saying, I'm going to move to the middle of nowhere and build my own building, do what I have to do, they're saying, I want the government to regulate all of the jobs.

00:50:42.000 I'm not religious at all, but I'm with you on that, but not on Christ.

00:50:46.000 I mean, I think that we need this, like this belief in, I don't know if it's God or what, but like this unified belief in, in the universe structure, you know, that, that Jesus was one of the guys that was like, I'm tapped.

00:50:57.000 He tapped the basis of spirituality is to get outside of yourself.

00:51:03.000 Whether it's a belief in God, an afterlife, community service, helping other people, doing charity work, get out of yourself.

00:51:12.000 Our culture today is designed around being in yourself, wallowing in yourself, and presenting yourself as the biggest victim that there is in order to get to the top of the victim standings.

00:51:24.000 That's the problem with our culture today.

00:51:26.000 People just need to go play frisbee.

00:51:28.000 We're talking about a lack of self, a lack of, well not a lack of self, it's nothing but the self.

00:51:33.000 We're talking about a lack of purpose, meaning, community, friends, goals.

00:51:38.000 Go outside, bring a frisbee with you to the park and say, you wanna play frisbee?

00:51:42.000 You wanna just throw a frisbee around, maybe hang out with some people?

00:51:44.000 It's actually really fun.

00:51:45.000 And they don't do it.

00:51:46.000 Throwing a ball back and forth.

00:51:47.000 But people need to go outside and actually do something.

00:51:52.000 Instead, people are recoiling.

00:51:53.000 They're retreating.

00:51:54.000 They're hiding.

00:51:55.000 Now, I think... I'll tell you what I think one of the biggest problems we've got as a culture.

00:52:01.000 Certainly, China doesn't have it.

00:52:03.000 Their people in China, they're calling what China's doing neocolonialism. 0.53

00:52:07.000 Because the people in China are leaving. 1.00

00:52:11.000 They're taking what money they have.

00:52:12.000 They're moving to other countries.

00:52:13.000 They're emigrating. 0.68

00:52:14.000 And now we're seeing large Chinese communities emerging in many other countries.

00:52:18.000 It's neo-colonialism.

00:52:19.000 It's not happening because the Chinese government is ordering people, the Chinese Communist Party, is ordering people to go and take over or anything like that.

00:52:26.000 No, no, no.

00:52:27.000 It's just people who are in a very crowded country, trying to find a better life, just like we saw with Europe hundreds of years ago.

00:52:35.000 But now, there's planes, there's trains, there's boats, and many of these people have the resources, they find their way to another country, set up communities, and they grow and they work.

00:52:43.000 And I'll tell you this, the American dream is alive and well.

00:52:46.000 There's just too many people in this country, too egotistical to actually work towards it.

00:52:50.000 When I worked for American Eagle Airlines, it's American Airlines' regional airline, There was a group that referred to themselves as the Filipino Mafia.

00:53:00.000 No joke, that's what they called themselves.

00:53:02.000 And it was a large group of Filipino immigrants who were working for the airport, working for the airline.

00:53:08.000 And they all basically worked 16-hour days every day.

00:53:13.000 There was one guy, he was like in his 50s.

00:53:16.000 They forced him to take a two-week vacation, a two-week paid vacation.

00:53:20.000 And he was freaking out and complaining, saying, I refuse, you can't make me do it.

00:53:24.000 They said, actually, we legally are required to make you take a two-week vacation.

00:53:28.000 He didn't want to do it, because a one-week vacation is only 40 hours paid, when he worked 80 hours a week.

00:53:33.000 And you know why?

00:53:34.000 Because he came to this country, he worked 80 hours a week, and every penny We went into making his children's lives better.

00:53:42.000 This is a guy that was in the Philippines and said, I'm going to move to America.

00:53:46.000 I am going to work my skin to the bone, no matter what it takes for that American dream.

00:53:51.000 And his dream was to work for 10 bucks an hour every single day because he knew it would make his children's lives better.

00:53:59.000 Where's that at?

00:54:00.000 Where are the people today that are saying, I will do anything I can?

00:54:04.000 A lot of immigrants who come to this country absolutely believe that, and I've watched it.

00:54:07.000 You look at the people who come from China to the United States, what do they do? 0.80

00:54:10.000 They cram their families into small apartments that are cheap, they work themselves to the bone, they make money, and they give their children a better life.

00:54:17.000 Now we have a lot of people in this country, a lot of progressives, mind you, yeah, obviously I'm biased in that regard, who are just demanding the government give to them.

00:54:25.000 Meanwhile, they're the ones who are claiming they're the party of immigrants, and it's like, well, why don't you actually take some advice from them and work hard to succeed?

00:54:32.000 That's why I look at the Mars thing.

00:54:35.000 Yeah, I get it.

00:54:36.000 Mars is difficult.

00:54:36.000 Mars is scary.

00:54:37.000 There are a lot of people who want to go to Mars.

00:54:39.000 I don't know if we need to go to Mars.

00:54:41.000 It's not necessarily, I think, a solution to our problem.

00:54:43.000 I think maybe a space station is probably better, and then maybe finding, you know, a long-term vessel of some sort.

00:54:48.000 I don't know how we'd do it.

00:54:49.000 Our technology is not there yet.

00:54:51.000 A Martian colony can be fantastic for the development of new technologies that make everyone's lives better, and the people who ultimately decide to go there are going to be going on a very dangerous journey where they will probably die.

00:55:01.000 The likelihood of death might be like 1 in 5, like it was for those who went from Europe to the New World. 1.00

00:55:07.000 Granted, we have new technology, and we'll have a lot of fail-safes, so maybe it'll actually be a bit less, but boy, will it be lonely.

00:55:13.000 But these are the people who are saying, hey man, I'm down to do it.

00:55:16.000 Now, while we've got all these people signing up for Elon Musk's Mars trip, there was that Mars 1 project, or what it was called, and thousands of people were like, I wanna go to Mars, I wanna go to Mars, and none of them were healthy enough to actually do it.

00:55:27.000 Where are the people?

00:55:28.000 You live in New York City.

00:55:29.000 You live in Minneapolis.

00:55:30.000 And you're like, man, this is terrible.

00:55:32.000 Antifa's taking over the government.

00:55:34.000 They're getting funding now.

00:55:35.000 They're shooting people non-stop.

00:55:37.000 We're all depressed.

00:55:38.000 Bro, why don't you get up, go outside, start planting some flowers?

00:55:43.000 Start planting some corn?

00:55:45.000 Why don't you, like...

00:55:47.000 You know what?

00:55:47.000 I've been looking at it for a long time.

00:55:48.000 It's like moving out to the middle of nowhere on purpose to expand and to build something.

00:55:52.000 Because when I see something that doesn't work, you know what I do?

00:55:54.000 I don't go... This is why I hated working for other companies.

00:55:58.000 You go to the boss and you're like, hey, I see this problem.

00:56:01.000 And they say, too bad, I don't care.

00:56:02.000 I can't do that.

00:56:04.000 I can't sit there and look at a problem that won't be solved.

00:56:06.000 So I'll say, okay, I'm going to leave and then I'm going to do it on my own.

00:56:10.000 Because if you don't know how to run this system, I'll figure it out for myself.

00:56:13.000 Where are those people?

00:56:14.000 Where are the modern pioneers who are like, I'm gonna move to the middle of nowhere, start a company and revive this dying town.

00:56:20.000 Instead, they're in their dying towns complaining to the government to do more to protect their jobs.

00:56:25.000 And it's both the left and the right.

00:56:27.000 I think they exist, but they're drowned out in a sea of noise.

00:56:30.000 Especially online, when everyone has their own journal.

00:56:34.000 Anybody online who believes that they can do it is doing it.

00:56:38.000 Online is the land of the I can'ts.

00:56:40.000 What I have found interesting is that our country used to be a country of I can.

00:56:47.000 I can sail across the Atlantic and start a new life.

00:56:49.000 I can explore the West Coast, go to Oregon, go to Seattle.

00:56:52.000 I can do that.

00:56:53.000 You mean I can walk there?

00:56:54.000 I can walk to the West Coast.

00:56:56.000 And if you couldn't, you didn't have access to a newspaper to tell everyone how you couldn't do it.

00:57:01.000 You just didn't have access.

00:57:02.000 Now you got Twitter for free for $30 a month.

00:57:05.000 But the problem is that the American spirit, the American dream, if there is actually one American dream, is I can.

00:57:13.000 All these other folks right now that we're talking about, these are the I can'ts. 0.99

00:57:16.000 When did the American dream go from, like, working hard to just, like, being handed a million bucks?

00:57:22.000 1970, when Nixon took us off the gold standard.

00:57:23.000 No!

00:57:24.000 Fiat currency.

00:57:24.000 Dude, it's when the communists infiltrated American institutions and it pumped us awful.

00:57:31.000 The notion that the government is supposed to give us everything.

00:57:34.000 When was that?

00:57:35.000 Starting in the 50s and the 60s, dude.

00:57:38.000 It used to be.

00:57:39.000 McCarthy was right.

00:57:41.000 The American dream actually was upward mobility.

00:57:44.000 There are certain countries where you're poor, you'll always be poor because you're not a noble, you're not landed gentry, you're not a king, it's never gonna happen.

00:57:51.000 You come to America and you could flick off the president. 0.92

00:57:54.000 You could see the president walking by and go, hey president, F you!

00:57:56.000 And they can't do anything about it. 0.98

00:57:57.000 The American dream was that you could be gutter trash and grow up to be a millionaire as long as you worked hard and figured it out.

00:58:04.000 And that still exists. 0.51

00:58:05.000 The problem is... It still exists.

00:58:06.000 It happens every day.

00:58:07.000 At some point, millennials, especially, figured the American dream was, I do as I'm told, I take out massive loans, I go to college, and then I'll be rich?

00:58:17.000 It could have been the Rockefeller movement.

00:58:19.000 He monopolized the education industry and kind of destroyed people's will to... I never went to business school.

00:58:25.000 I didn't know how to run a business.

00:58:26.000 I didn't know how to sign a check until I was 19 years old.

00:58:29.000 I didn't know how to write a check.

00:58:30.000 Isn't that insane?

00:58:31.000 I never wrote a check until I was 19.

00:58:32.000 Let me tell you something.

00:58:34.000 Yes, I understand what you're saying, Jack, about communism and infiltrating schools and all that stuff, and I've heard a lot about it.

00:58:39.000 We know that China has an interest in promoting this because the Chinese accounts on Twitter, this is what James Lindsay was saying, they used to mock the Beizhua, the white left.

00:58:46.000 That's what their word is, Beizhua.

00:58:47.000 All of a sudden, they started supporting them, saying, yeah, America's racist, because they realized it was weakening the country.

00:58:52.000 But I'll tell you something.

00:58:54.000 In my experience, my anecdotal, my personal worldview, my lived experience, my lived truth.

00:58:59.000 Your viewpoint?

00:59:00.000 My personal point of view.

00:59:02.000 My family, I always would hear these stories growing up about how someone my family knew was making six figures because they went to college.

00:59:11.000 And that's why you have to go to college to get a good job.

00:59:14.000 And I said, not interested.

00:59:16.000 And then what I realized later in life was that A lot of these people, after World War II, the boomers, right?

00:59:22.000 They had high school educations, and they were feeding their family.

00:59:25.000 Three kids and a wife.

00:59:26.000 Just on their high school education.

00:59:28.000 They made it work.

00:59:29.000 Granted, they didn't have the same level of technology or comfort as we did, so, you know, standard of living was particularly different.

00:59:35.000 But with a high school education alone, I read about how the boomer generation, people with high school educations, they were managers at companies, they had jobs, they weren't making six figures. 0.69

00:59:46.000 They made the false assumption that the money came because of the college degree.

00:59:52.000 However, if you grew up at a time where you didn't need a college degree to succeed and feed your family, but you decided to pursue your passion, What was really happening is that those who are most passionate and driven towards a certain goal decided to go to college.

01:00:08.000 College was incidental.

01:00:10.000 It's a spurious correlation.

01:00:11.000 The actual correlation is those who are willing to work hard to attain or achieve some goal and those who are not.

01:00:17.000 What happens then when your entire society starts telling all the young people, college is the key.

01:00:21.000 Take out forty, fifty, sixty thousand dollars worth of loans, you'll never pay back in a lifetime.

01:00:26.000 You end up with a bunch of angry Indebted serfs can't find work and think the American Dream was stripped from them. 1.00

01:00:34.000 Well, they were lied to, for sure, by a society that went astray.

01:00:37.000 But these are people who need to be taught how hard work can give you the American Dream.

01:00:43.000 The only problem is, the hard work they worked towards was a trap.

01:00:46.000 They dug themselves into a massive hole, generated tons of debt, because they were dumb 18-year-olds who didn't know better, and because, I blame the older generation, Stripping the value, extracting what they can, and then we get financial crisis, chaos, and everything's falling apart.

01:01:00.000 So forgive me if I'm a millennial blaming the older generations, but look, we inherited this stuff from you, so it's not on me. 0.86

01:01:07.000 You're a Gen Xer, right?

01:01:08.000 Represent.

01:01:09.000 You get a free pass.

01:01:10.000 I'm Gen X as it gets.

01:01:12.000 Tim, a lot of what you said is absolutely right.

01:01:15.000 The people that made the most of a college degree were going to make the most of life Anyway, when they didn't need one though, right?

01:01:22.000 The point is if society tells you you don't need to go to college and you go Yeah, but I want to because I really want to study this thing Well, it's no surprise that this passionate driven individual became successful But you get a bunch of people who are like, you know I remember when I was 18 and they're like you got to go to school and I'm like for what?

01:01:37.000 What do you like doing?

01:01:38.000 I don't know Well, how about music?

01:01:39.000 You play music?

01:01:41.000 I guess.

01:01:42.000 So what, I was gonna be an 18 year old going like, I don't know, but draining tens of thousands of dollars in debt? 1.00

01:01:48.000 That's the stupidest idea. 0.99

01:01:49.000 I was like, I'm not gonna do that. 1.00

01:01:50.000 That's dumb. 0.95

01:01:51.000 I don't want to owe anybody money. 0.99

01:01:53.000 I'd rather just like sleep on a couch and go skating.

01:01:56.000 So, it worked out for me.

01:01:57.000 I don't got any debt.

01:01:58.000 A lot of people thought that.

01:01:59.000 I do have debt, but it still worked out for me because I wanted to.

01:02:01.000 I wanted to go.

01:02:02.000 I wanted to study acting.

01:02:03.000 And it was worth every penny of it.

01:02:05.000 Not for everybody.

01:02:05.000 Most people change their majors and end up not getting a job in their field.

01:02:09.000 You gotta want it.

01:02:10.000 You gotta be good at it.

01:02:10.000 You gotta be dedicated to it.

01:02:12.000 You gotta live it.

01:02:13.000 Breathe it.

01:02:14.000 Focus on it every second of every day.

01:02:16.000 It is your life.

01:02:17.000 That is what you are.

01:02:18.000 I'll tell you what else it did.

01:02:18.000 And the money is subsidiary.

01:02:20.000 You wanna know what else college did?

01:02:21.000 You wanna know what else it did, Jack?

01:02:23.000 It took kids out of their communities and sent them to faraway lands and then all of a sudden their ties to the community were fractured.

01:02:30.000 So now you had people growing up and they weren't going to the water cooler.

01:02:33.000 They weren't going to the churches.

01:02:35.000 Maybe they're not religious.

01:02:36.000 They weren't going to the community centers.

01:02:38.000 They weren't engaging in local activism or local journalism or local politics.

01:02:42.000 They moved away.

01:02:43.000 Maybe there's a good thing in that, but ultimately it means our communities started breaking apart.

01:02:48.000 And now one of the biggest problems we have is people are replacing their real communities with fake online communities, often with sock puppet accounts.

01:02:55.000 And they're looking for some kind of gratification from online strangers who have cat avatar profiles or something, or cat cat anime pictures on their Twitter account.

01:03:03.000 That's current.

01:03:04.000 But the future is actually using the Internet to find real communities.

01:03:09.000 100 percent.

01:03:09.000 It's happening.

01:03:10.000 I'm doing it.

01:03:11.000 I won't pitch it anymore.

01:03:12.000 You got to bring people to the real world.

01:03:13.000 That's absolutely 100 percent.

01:03:16.000 Tim, you're talking about things that have been in play for decades and decades and decades and decades now.

01:03:21.000 Yeah, I mean, it's true.

01:03:23.000 These ideas were seriously implanted in our brains back in the 50s and the 60s.

01:03:27.000 And they've now made their way through the institutions to the point now where we are a sick culture of victims who rank themselves according to how aggrieved they are, not according to how successful or accomplished they are, or how realized or actualized that they are.

01:03:43.000 It's actually a detriment to be successful.

01:03:46.000 Right, because that's evidence that you're part of the white supremacy culture.

01:03:50.000 Well, that's what they said to me when I was at Occupy Wall Street before I got any recognition.

01:03:55.000 I had all of these people saying like, see, look at you, man.

01:03:57.000 You know, you dropped out of high school and like you're a smart guy.

01:04:01.000 You should be very successful, but the system doesn't allow it.

01:04:03.000 You know, you come from a mixed family and it's very obvious how it's holding you back. 1.00

01:04:08.000 And then all of a sudden I'm featured in Time magazine.

01:04:10.000 I'm featured in all these websites.

01:04:11.000 And they said then, Tim Pool is white and he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

01:04:17.000 Moral of the story, don't listen to other people.

01:04:19.000 The moral, perhaps, and the gist of the story is, if you succeed, they will accuse you of being privileged and always having been privileged because the idea of hard work doesn't exist to them.

01:04:30.000 Exactly.

01:04:30.000 Because if you succeed, that means that the only reason they're not succeeding is because they didn't try.

01:04:39.000 And that's why the Asians are going to get crushed by the blacks in this new culture scenario. 1.00

01:04:44.000 That's why they're trying to make it look like there's white-on-Asian violence happening all over the universe when there really isn't. 0.92

01:04:50.000 This is one of the most offensive.

01:04:51.000 The real issue is that the Asian immigrants are making African-American indigenous people look bad. 1.00

01:05:00.000 You think that's why the violence is happening?

01:05:01.000 No.

01:05:03.000 The violence is what it is. 0.97

01:05:05.000 That guy shot up a bunch of hookers, basically. 1.00

01:05:08.000 Sex-related, okay? 0.95

01:05:09.000 But this idea... Well, we don't know that's true, actually.

01:05:12.000 It doesn't matter. 0.93

01:05:13.000 The point is that it's not some white supremacist going on a rampage trying to kill a bunch of Asian ladies. 0.99

01:05:18.000 Like, come on.

01:05:20.000 So, what's happening here is that the CRT folks and the African-American victim community that wants to be victims, not all of them, the specific community, are saying that we live in an oppressive society that keeps minorities down.

01:05:34.000 Well, guess what?

01:05:35.000 All these Asian folks are coming from all over, not just Far East Asia or Southeast Asia or India, Asia, but all of those Asia parts.

01:05:43.000 They're coming to the United States and they're out-earning white dudes. 0.77

01:05:46.000 Yeah, this actually surprised me because I didn't realize Filipinos actually have some of the highest incomes in the United States.

01:05:51.000 Yeah, dude, it's Indian folks come, Asian folks come to the United States, make more money than white people. 1.00

01:05:57.000 Why?

01:05:58.000 Because it's a meritocratic system.

01:06:00.000 If you're good at something, you get paid for it.

01:06:02.000 You can be Tim Pool, drop out of high school, not go to college, become a, you know, many thousandaire here living in wherever we are.

01:06:11.000 But the reason that this conflict is going to come between the blacks and Asians is because the Asians are just proving the thesis of Black Lives Matter false. 0.92

01:06:20.000 It's not a race thing.

01:06:22.000 It is not going to be black people versus Asian people.

01:06:25.000 It is going to be woke people versus Asian people. 1.00

01:06:27.000 Sorry, you're right.

01:06:28.000 Yeah, it's so like Ellen West sitting here the other day. 0.78

01:06:31.000 Amen.

01:06:32.000 Amen to that.

01:06:33.000 I'm sorry.

01:06:33.000 All those comments were meant to say the CRT, you know, social justice, Black Lives Matter folks that are pitching.

01:06:42.000 They're mostly white.

01:06:43.000 Fine. 0.98

01:06:44.000 All of them are pitching the black victimhood narrative. 0.99

01:06:47.000 Yeah. 0.93

01:06:48.000 That all black suffering is a result of white systems of oppression, which I heard chanted over and over again on the streets. 0.96

01:06:53.000 But bro, they're not saying just black people. 0.98

01:06:55.000 They're saying a hierarchy of different races are oppressed by white people.

01:06:59.000 They used to claim that it was Asian people on top.

01:07:02.000 Now, after this shooting, they're saying Asians are actually oppressed again.

01:07:05.000 So it's not about any one race.

01:07:07.000 It is about manipulative, extremist, dogmatic cultists Who will use whatever narrative they have to to gain power.

01:07:15.000 Sometimes they'll talk about Black Lives Matter, but they'll use the communist fist as their symbol.

01:07:19.000 Sometimes they'll blame Asians, because you've got that one woman, I'm not gonna say her name, but James Lindsay's been tweeting up a storm about her, where she was like, well, you see, the Asians who came here chose to come here in the early, you know, early American history.

01:07:32.000 They weren't forced to do it.

01:07:33.000 Then after this wave of violence, They say, now she's tweeting, they were forced to come here actually.

01:07:38.000 It was indentured servitude, blah, blah, blah.

01:07:40.000 It's like, oh, okay.

01:07:41.000 You never cared about these people.

01:07:42.000 You manipulate these people. 0.67

01:07:45.000 It doesn't matter if you're Asian, Latino, Hispanic, Black, or whatever.

01:07:48.000 All they want to do is pit one group against the other to gain power.

01:07:52.000 So they're going to use victimhood. 0.90

01:07:54.000 Amen.

01:07:54.000 And they're going to say, these people are oppressing us.

01:07:56.000 And you know what's funny?

01:07:57.000 They accused Trump of being the demagogue.

01:07:59.000 They said he was the one who was vilifying different groups of people.

01:08:03.000 Sure. 0.86

01:08:03.000 There were certain instances where Trump said some things like, you know, he wanted to ban all Muslims. 0.86

01:08:07.000 Donald Trump literally said that he was calling for a ban on Muslims until they can figure things out.

01:08:11.000 Eventually what they called the Muslim ban came to include a couple other countries like Venezuela and North Korea.

01:08:16.000 So it wasn't exclusively a Muslim ban.

01:08:18.000 Or contain all the Muslim countries.

01:08:20.000 Right, it didn't include Saudi Arabia.

01:08:22.000 Indonesia.

01:08:23.000 Right.

01:08:24.000 American Muslims.

01:08:25.000 So, the point was, Donald Trump certainly had his bombastic, demagoguery-type language, but they're built upon it and have been for a decade.

01:08:32.000 Trump was a response to it, not the creation of it.

01:08:35.000 Amen.

01:08:35.000 When they kept coming out in the early, late 2009, early 2010s, screaming about white privilege, racism, systemic racism, white people, and you can see in the LexisNexis data, the hockey stick of the New York Times, just screaming about white privilege.

01:08:49.000 Then you got what they were calling the white lash.

01:08:53.000 A backlash, but white people were now saying enough of this already.

01:08:56.000 The funny thing is, we were taught growing up, segregation is wrong.

01:09:01.000 People should be treated equally.

01:09:02.000 It was the dream of Dr. King that all people would be treated based on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

01:09:08.000 And which party is fighting that, tooth and nail?

01:09:11.000 the Democratic Party. Joe Biden's Department of Education just rescinded a rule that said

01:09:18.000 racial affinity groups was discriminatory. That rule's gone now. That was a Trump rule. Trump

01:09:23.000 said you can't do this. You can't separate people at schools based on race. Biden's administration,

01:09:27.000 oh no, no, no, no, you can do that again. Congratulations.

01:09:29.000 Columbia University just said graduations by race.

01:09:33.000 That's right.

01:09:34.000 By race.

01:09:36.000 Now, what's funny is at the end of the day, you're right.

01:09:38.000 There's going to be one small group of people over here, the woke, and there's going to be a huge coalition of diversity over here opposing woke.

01:09:48.000 And in fact, the opposing racial justice people will be more diverse than the group saying that they're, you know, the woke folks.

01:09:58.000 And the irony is it's not going to be African-Americans in the middle of that.

01:10:03.000 It may end up being black trans women or whatever, but truly all of this is suburban, white, liberal women. 0.88

01:10:14.000 This entire thing is about suburban, white, liberal women, their guilt, their interest in destroying the patriarchy. 1.00

01:10:23.000 They're lying supinely on the ground, begging for acceptance and forgiveness, and they're willing to throw their entire country away just so that they won't be called a racist when they haven't been one, they aren't one, and they've just taken this identity on for themselves.

01:10:39.000 I did an interview with Arthur Millick, the head of the Center for the American Way of Life in Washington, D.C., at Claremont East.

01:10:45.000 And he pointed out that even the ancient texts, the classics, they talk about the demise of a society is when it's run on the whim and fancy of single women. 0.99

01:10:57.000 That is what we have today. 0.97

01:10:59.000 The entire nation, all of our political discourse, all this woke crap, all this everything is based on trying to appease this power of single white liberal women. 1.00

01:11:10.000 And you know what's funny? 0.99

01:11:11.000 Half of guys are just doing what those women tell them to do. 0.85

01:11:14.000 Of course, because what do they want?

01:11:15.000 They want the women, right? 1.00

01:11:16.000 So they're just saying, so we'll do whatever.

01:11:17.000 Yeah.

01:11:19.000 These boys need some Chad immunity.

01:11:21.000 I got Chad immunity for days.

01:11:23.000 If you want to quarantine a vaccine, I got it for you.

01:11:25.000 Chad immunity.

01:11:26.000 Look it up.

01:11:28.000 Yeah, I think that... Look, I think that's one of the issues.

01:11:31.000 I think we're facing a ton of problems we've been facing for a long time.

01:11:34.000 And one of the things I bring up... When was the last time a Christmas song was written, right?

01:11:38.000 It's a typical question.

01:11:41.000 Something I bring up quite a bit.

01:11:43.000 All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey, I guess, in the 90s.

01:11:47.000 We listen to music from the 50s on Christmas.

01:11:48.000 It's a classic.

01:11:49.000 It's a classic.

01:11:49.000 Yeah, but at a certain point, like, that was new.

01:11:51.000 I wrote one in 2007.

01:11:53.000 In America.

01:11:53.000 It's on YouTube.

01:11:54.000 Listen, in America, they wrote these songs.

01:11:57.000 They wrote songs, they wrote Jingle Bell Rock.

01:11:59.000 Alright.

01:12:00.000 And it was new, and everyone loved it, and we all danced and sang together.

01:12:04.000 Every year since then, we play the same songs over and over and over again.

01:12:08.000 No one writing anything new, no one creating, no one developing American culture.

01:12:13.000 It's become stagnant reboot remakes.

01:12:16.000 We're gonna reboot Spider-Man for the fifth time!

01:12:20.000 We're going to reboot this comic book, this movie.

01:12:22.000 We're going to remake Groundhog Day.

01:12:23.000 We're going to remake whatever else.

01:12:24.000 They keep doing it.

01:12:25.000 I saw that.

01:12:26.000 Where's the new?

01:12:27.000 Where's the new?

01:12:28.000 Strongly opposed to remaking Groundhog Day.

01:12:30.000 Where's the new stuff?

01:12:31.000 It's this show.

01:12:32.000 So listen, listen, man.

01:12:33.000 It's this show.

01:12:34.000 It is.

01:12:34.000 Stuff like this.

01:12:35.000 We're the new deal.

01:12:36.000 This is it.

01:12:37.000 For sure.

01:12:38.000 OK.

01:12:38.000 Yes.

01:12:39.000 You want to talk about the woke, all the problems they're bringing.

01:12:44.000 I got to stop and say at a certain point, you know, we had a great... I know a lot of people didn't like Rucka, but he asked a good question.

01:12:49.000 Okay, you're complaining about wokeness.

01:12:51.000 What are you offering in exchange?

01:12:52.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:12:53.000 And I said, classical liberalism.

01:12:55.000 And he said, okay.

01:12:55.000 And we had a conversation from there.

01:12:56.000 But I'm going to stop right there and go back to the culture question, not the political question.

01:13:00.000 If we complain about they're making woke Captain America, right?

01:13:04.000 The new Captain America is an LGBTQ activist, they're saying.

01:13:07.000 I don't care.

01:13:07.000 If you like that, then you can buy the comic.

01:13:10.000 You know, when I see all these people saying, like, oh, you know, it's dumb that they're changing all these things and we're angry by it.

01:13:15.000 My response is, make new characters for these communities.

01:13:19.000 Don't give them hand-me-downs.

01:13:20.000 However, if Marvel wants to make Captain America an LGBTQ activist, that's fine. 0.96

01:13:25.000 I'm happy for the people who like that character.

01:13:27.000 It's none of my business.

01:13:27.000 I just won't buy it.

01:13:28.000 Because I'm not saying, I refuse to buy it because I'm mad.

01:13:31.000 No, I just won't buy it because I probably don't care all that much about reading that story.

01:13:34.000 But I'll tell you this, where are you to make your own comic?

01:13:38.000 Where are you to make your own new TV show or video game?

01:13:43.000 How many people sit back and complain, why aren't they making the games that I like and the movies I like?

01:13:47.000 And I'm like, I don't know, why aren't you making them?

01:13:49.000 So we can sit here and complain about The Woke and I think it's merited, but at a certain point we have to complain about ourselves for not doing enough.

01:13:54.000 Not making our own things, our own culture.

01:13:56.000 Amen.

01:13:56.000 And I'll shout out Daily Wire and we've been talking about doing new cultural stuff, too

01:14:01.000 We're a small company We have that many people but we are actively working and

01:14:04.000 trying to figure out how to grow and expand and create new brands make new

01:14:07.000 new Entertainment new fiction new nonfiction. We're talking

01:14:11.000 about doing this paranormal podcast trying to figure it out It's very difficult because you know, I'm just one person

01:14:15.000 got a small handful of people But at a certain point you got to make stuff you got to

01:14:19.000 build your own house You got to move and start your own farm. You got to start

01:14:22.000 your own data data server farm You gotta start your own web hosting companies.

01:14:26.000 It's happening.

01:14:27.000 You know, we see what Gab is doing.

01:14:29.000 But at a certain point, you gotta stop complaining that other people don't agree with you and won't give you what you want.

01:14:36.000 While I can absolutely agree it is a problem for our society when big tech is censoring people because they have a monopoly on the political discourse space, at a certain point, you must take control and do the work yourself because no one is coming to save you.

01:14:51.000 Most all people are consumers.

01:14:55.000 They're not even built to be creators.

01:14:57.000 They're not interested in being creators.

01:14:59.000 They don't want to be artists.

01:15:01.000 They're too busy.

01:15:03.000 They're working.

01:15:04.000 They're trying to survive.

01:15:05.000 They come home.

01:15:06.000 They want to consume.

01:15:07.000 It's okay.

01:15:08.000 It's normal.

01:15:09.000 So when somebody who's a consumer complains that they're not be given the things that they want, that's a valid complaint.

01:15:16.000 The people you should be complaining to, talking to, pointing your fingers at, are people who are creators.

01:15:21.000 And get them moving in the right direction.

01:15:24.000 Hold on a second.

01:15:26.000 Yes, but what about the people who sit around playing video games all day?

01:15:30.000 What about the people who are like, you know, I lost my job or haven't worked since COVID?

01:15:34.000 Did you write a book?

01:15:35.000 Did you start drawing pictures?

01:15:36.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:15:37.000 They're consumers.

01:15:38.000 It's okay to be a consumer.

01:15:40.000 Most people are consumers.

01:15:41.000 Most people are not creators.

01:15:42.000 I think that what you're doing is potentially like applying the solution that you see is as possible in front of you and demanding it of everybody else.

01:15:51.000 I don't know that that's necessarily possible.

01:15:54.000 So how do consumers contribute to society to merit consuming products made by other people?

01:16:01.000 Do they have jobs?

01:16:02.000 Of course.

01:16:03.000 So they're making something.

01:16:04.000 Well, they're cogs in a big thing.

01:16:07.000 They're cogs in a machine.

01:16:08.000 They're pushing paper.

01:16:09.000 They're doing spreadsheets.

01:16:10.000 They're flipping burgers.

01:16:11.000 You talk about decades of conditioning, stripping away the American spirit.

01:16:15.000 I will not tolerate, personally, someone saying, well, I'm just someone who works a menial job so I can come and play video games.

01:16:22.000 I'm like, nah.

01:16:23.000 Let's talk about conditioning.

01:16:25.000 Who told you to think that way?

01:16:26.000 How come no one ever said, why don't you draw a picture?

01:16:28.000 Start with a stickman.

01:16:30.000 Maybe in a few months he'll be drawing anime or something.

01:16:32.000 Why don't you make something?

01:16:33.000 You can take little rocks and you can make little macaroni art and sell it on the street.

01:16:38.000 You can take a guitar, learn three chords, play several top 40 songs, maybe four chords.

01:16:42.000 And then you can busk in the street and make money on your own.

01:16:46.000 It is conditioning to take away people's independence and ability to create and be independent thinkers.

01:16:52.000 They wanted you in the machine.

01:16:53.000 They wanted the bell ringing in grade school to teach you how to work in a factory.

01:16:57.000 Now you're an adult.

01:16:59.000 Now the system is in decay.

01:17:00.000 What are you going to do to solve it?

01:17:02.000 You can also be a consumer and a creator in different phases.

01:17:06.000 Like, I've gone through heavy creation phases where that was all I did, and then I go back into my consumer phase for like two years, and then back into creation phase for three months, and then so it maybe takes some effort to change your brain space.

01:17:19.000 Everyone should be producing at a slightly higher rate than they are consuming.

01:17:24.000 That is extremely important for expansion, for growth, survival.

01:17:29.000 And it doesn't need to be, as Greta Thunberg said, this fairy tale of endless economic growth.

01:17:35.000 There can be endless economic growth because we have digital and virtual spaces.

01:17:39.000 You can create things that are abstract.

01:17:41.000 We have the NFT, you know, non-fungible tokens.

01:17:43.000 Now people are making ARK that exist in the blockchain.

01:17:46.000 It's a lot of things that you can do that won't create something physical.

01:17:49.000 You can write a song.

01:17:50.000 You can sing a song.

01:17:51.000 You can record that song.

01:17:52.000 You create information.

01:17:53.000 You can work on math.

01:17:55.000 You can develop new ideas and new technologies and new methodologies.

01:17:59.000 Or at the very least, you can stop being a consumer in these cities And maybe go out to the middle of nowhere, save up a little bit of money to buy a small plot of land, literally in the middle of nowhere, dig your own well, build your own house, because at what point... I don't know when it happened, but people started saying, the government owes me.

01:18:15.000 Even conservatives say it.

01:18:17.000 Even conservatives.

01:18:18.000 The government owes me.

01:18:20.000 The government should force these companies, you know, not to do certain things.

01:18:24.000 I agree with that.

01:18:26.000 I agree with that.

01:18:26.000 I agree with regulation.

01:18:28.000 But I also recognize at a certain point you have to be responsible for what you truly want and you can't expect someone to do it for you.

01:18:34.000 I certainly think there are regulations and they're like, you know, that's why I'm a fan of, you know, border control, ending these free trade agreements.

01:18:42.000 But I also think if it doesn't come to you, then you have to decide when you are going to take the reins and do the work to make it come to you.

01:18:49.000 That might mean running for office. 0.82

01:18:51.000 That might mean having a peaceful protest.

01:18:53.000 I'm so into it, dude.

01:18:54.000 Let's run for office.

01:18:55.000 I'm not doing that.

01:18:56.000 Get out of here.

01:18:57.000 You want to run for office?

01:18:58.000 Go ahead.

01:18:58.000 You do it.

01:18:59.000 I might have to.

01:19:00.000 Oh, yeah.

01:19:00.000 Run for Congress?

01:19:01.000 No, I'd run for president.

01:19:02.000 People need to take responsibility for their lives, man.

01:19:06.000 Man, you're not going to hear any pushback from me on that.

01:19:09.000 Personal responsibility, accountability, auto-regulation, independent thinking, making your own way, owning your own S. Yes, that is the way.

01:19:19.000 This is the way.

01:19:20.000 No question about it.

01:19:23.000 If you want to talk about somebody busking, there's a difference between hustling and creating.

01:19:28.000 That's the distinction I'm trying to make.

01:19:31.000 Creating.

01:19:32.000 Tim, you're a creator.

01:19:33.000 I'm a creator.

01:19:33.000 We're creating.

01:19:34.000 We're creating art.

01:19:35.000 We're creating journalism.

01:19:36.000 We're creating media.

01:19:38.000 This is it.

01:19:39.000 You want to know what's next?

01:19:41.000 Where is it?

01:19:42.000 What's the replacement?

01:19:42.000 This is literally it.

01:19:44.000 I've been on this show with a million people watching this show.

01:19:46.000 This is literally it.

01:19:48.000 And it's not only just like the underground of it.

01:19:50.000 This is the like one step down from mass media level in the United States.

01:19:55.000 But there is a breaking point we're experiencing where this might be the new big thing yet to us.

01:20:02.000 Is there ever going to be a big network show, you know, like when you would watch Walter Cronkite or whatever?

01:20:08.000 No, there's not, because there was three channels then.

01:20:10.000 Exactly.

01:20:11.000 That's it.

01:20:11.000 So what's happening is, as our ability to source information fractures, American unified culture will cease to exist.

01:20:19.000 Amen.

01:20:20.000 Amen.

01:20:20.000 There's huge chapters in my book, Democrats are Deplorable, all about this very element right here, about liberating the means of communication.

01:20:28.000 I use Marxist language to describe what happened.

01:20:31.000 We've liberated the means of communication.

01:20:33.000 Instead of one person talking to many, we have many talking to many.

01:20:37.000 And in doing so, we've created and injected a number of new narratives, national narratives, personal narratives.

01:20:45.000 And now we have no cohesion because Walter Cronkite used to sit there and tell us all how to feel.

01:20:50.000 That's right.

01:20:51.000 Do you think religion is necessary? 0.98

01:20:53.000 Yes.

01:20:56.000 I'm not even religious, but yes, we live in a Christian society.

01:21:00.000 That's true.

01:21:01.000 And we mentioned this the other day, I think I mentioned it to Alan West, that people like Bill Maher, he doesn't realize that his values are actually rooted in Judeo-Christian values.

01:21:09.000 Correct.

01:21:10.000 And he thinks he's a secular atheist and his morals aren't defined by the Bible and it's like, bro, they are.

01:21:16.000 They literally are.

01:21:17.000 You don't understand that the Fifth Amendment, you know what the Fifth Amendment is?

01:21:21.000 The right to a trial by jury, a speedy trial, the right to remain silent, all that stuff.

01:21:25.000 That comes partly from Blackstone's formulation, when he said it is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.

01:21:32.000 Benjamin Franklin said it's better that a hundred guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.

01:21:36.000 That came from the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, that God said, if there is but one righteous person, I will not destroy this city.

01:21:43.000 These ideas have existed for a very, very long time.

01:21:45.000 There are certain cultures that don't share that notion.

01:21:48.000 Take a look at China's history and their religion.

01:21:51.000 They're an authoritarian, communist, sort of communist nation.

01:21:55.000 They don't have the same ideas about innocent until proven guilty.

01:21:59.000 You can take a look at some... I am not saying that every country that has ever practiced this religion has held these values.

01:22:05.000 Certainly there have been authoritarian nations that have been Christian.

01:22:09.000 I'm saying that when we look to these values, they have a root in Judeo-Christian values.

01:22:14.000 100%.

01:22:14.000 There was... I mean, Hammurabi.

01:22:18.000 Ever heard of this?

01:22:19.000 Hammurabi's code?

01:22:20.000 Right.

01:22:21.000 They had a whole entire moral and legal framework for their entire civilization.

01:22:27.000 That's got nothing to do with what we got going on.

01:22:29.000 Yeah.

01:22:30.000 Nothing.

01:22:31.000 So Bill Maher sitting there in his jacuzzi with his hookers and his cocaine and his weed, as he admits, thinks that he's an atheist who just came up with these ideas of these values that somehow they're universal.

01:22:42.000 They're not universal.

01:22:43.000 First of all, entire civilizations have lived and flourished and failed eventually without these values and without this, uh, the, these norms.

01:22:52.000 And here we are, this is the most successful culture in the world ever based on Christian values.

01:22:58.000 It's like we're here for a new religion. 0.98

01:23:00.000 Well, we have it.

01:23:00.000 It's called critical race theory.

01:23:02.000 No, but a theory.

01:23:02.000 A good one.

01:23:04.000 Sure.

01:23:04.000 Here's what Bill Maher thinks.

01:23:06.000 He looks to backwards and confused and poorly translated versions of religion and then says, see, it's a bad thing.

01:23:14.000 And I use Bill Maher as an example because I was just complimenting the guy, right?

01:23:18.000 There are a lot of people who look to religion and say, here are all these bad things.

01:23:21.000 And it's like, okay, well, what about all the good things?

01:23:23.000 I'm not a religious person.

01:23:25.000 I am not theistic in any sense of, you know, these religious texts or anything like that.

01:23:30.000 Anything like that.

01:23:31.000 But I certainly think you can find good ideas in every single religious text.

01:23:36.000 Okay, obviously not every single, I'm just being, you know, hyperbolic.

01:23:40.000 But for the most part, you'll look at these religions, and you will find there's probably something good in them.

01:23:45.000 Maybe not enough.

01:23:47.000 Maybe it's 51% bad, 49% good.

01:23:50.000 Okay, well then take the good stuff and get rid of the bad stuff.

01:23:52.000 That's what we've done here in the United States.

01:23:54.000 There was a lot of really bad stuff.

01:23:56.000 Well, we started to get rid of all that bad stuff and keep all the good stuff.

01:23:59.000 That turns into sections of the Bill of Rights.

01:24:02.000 First of all, the First Amendment, the right to practice your religion.

01:24:04.000 And then you have the right to, you know, trial by jury, innocent until proven guilty.

01:24:09.000 And that is rooted.

01:24:11.000 That's just a fact.

01:24:12.000 It's rooted in Judeo-Christian values and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.

01:24:14.000 I was like reading about this and I was actually really just impressed when I read about, I started researching Blackstone's formulation.

01:24:22.000 Why did he come up with the idea and the history of it?

01:24:24.000 That's right.

01:24:25.000 Religion.

01:24:26.000 So it's not absolute.

01:24:27.000 I don't think you need it.

01:24:29.000 But that's why I'm saying when you asked if religion was necessary, I kind of went, I don't know about religion.

01:24:33.000 We're finding out right now.

01:24:34.000 No, no, no, but you don't need religion. 0.81

01:24:36.000 You need shared, a shared moral framework.

01:24:39.000 And what many, what many, that's what it is.

01:24:42.000 No, a religion is like, I have faith in the Lord or a lot of them is a cult.

01:24:47.000 Like I have faith in this guy that was telling me about the Lord.

01:24:49.000 Right.

01:24:50.000 You need a shared moral framework.

01:24:52.000 Okay.

01:24:52.000 Religion is, is, is okay.

01:24:53.000 Where does your moral framework come from?

01:24:55.000 In the United States, our moral framework is Judeo-Christian Taoism.

01:24:58.000 Not every single nation that has been successful has a Judeo-Christian moral framework, but they do share a moral framework.

01:25:05.000 Some moral frameworks are really, really awful, and they're really nasty based on our standards.

01:25:10.000 But that's not the point I'm saying.

01:25:11.000 Bill Maher's moral framework is rooted in an American Judeo-Christian moral framework.

01:25:17.000 This country is not, in my opinion, founded to be expressly a Christian nation, but it was overwhelmingly Christian people who created it.

01:25:26.000 It's Christian in its form and function.

01:25:29.000 Yes, but what I mean is there's no state religion.

01:25:33.000 Right.

01:25:33.000 They avoided making a state religion by baking the religion into the structure of the government.

01:25:39.000 Well, I think what you're basically saying is they took the moral framework of the religion and structured it into government, but it left out a lot of the things they didn't like.

01:25:47.000 Yeah, they're like, hey, you can be here and not be Christian. 0.94

01:25:49.000 But by the way, all of our laws, our rules, our regulations, our morals, the structure, how you're going to live your life, it's Christian, are the evolution of a Judeo-Christian moral framework.

01:25:59.000 Now you have secular individuals who don't believe in God and don't believe in the Bible and don't realize their moral framework is rooted in an American culture that was very religious.

01:26:08.000 And look, man, Look, Tim, I want to go back to what you were saying before.

01:26:11.000 We don't have, we want to go to Mars.

01:26:14.000 Let's give us meaning.

01:26:15.000 Oh, we need a, we need the cold war. 0.77

01:26:17.000 We need meaning.

01:26:18.000 What you're looking for is something bigger than yourself.

01:26:22.000 That's right.

01:26:23.000 A mission, not just a mission because missions end.

01:26:28.000 Where do you think God came from?

01:26:30.000 Aside from actually being the creator of the universe, if that's what you believe.

01:26:33.000 It is the need for a persistent source of meaning outside of yourself that will not be seasonal.

01:26:42.000 That does not go away once the Cold War is over.

01:26:44.000 That does not go away once we integrate with the aliens.

01:26:48.000 That does not go away when Manifest Destiny is completed.

01:26:51.000 You need a consistent and eternal sense of meaning that is outside of yourself.

01:26:56.000 So you don't get lost in your own brain and turn into a frickin' victim and sit around and say, where's my stuff?

01:27:00.000 I don't think missions have to end. 0.81

01:27:02.000 Like missionaries, that's their life, is the mission.

01:27:05.000 And the enterprise, the USS Enterprise, that was a persistent mission.

01:27:11.000 But it could come to an end.

01:27:14.000 Could.

01:27:15.000 But it's not supposed to.

01:27:17.000 Because the infinite, infinite universe created by God that they're exploring?

01:27:21.000 Yes.

01:27:21.000 Oh, bro.

01:27:21.000 They're not exploring the universe.

01:27:22.000 They're exploring a one quadrant of the galaxy.

01:27:26.000 Thank you for... I walked into the Tim compound today, and what's playing?

01:27:30.000 Star Trek Next Generation.

01:27:33.000 Hold on, hold on a minute.

01:27:34.000 The episode that was playing the hour before was the, there are four lights.

01:27:39.000 Tim, I want to make a there are four lights show, but I don't know if... In response to all this nonsense right now that you've been spewing, I'm four lighting it right now.

01:27:46.000 Four lights.

01:27:47.000 You're the guy that would say there are four lights.

01:27:49.000 For those that don't know this... Winston!

01:27:51.000 Listen, listen, let's talk about shared culture.

01:27:54.000 When I was a little kid, I remember sitting on my couch, my dad was watching Star Trek The Next Generation.

01:27:58.000 I understood very little of it.

01:28:00.000 There's a reason why I love that show, and it's because of the philosophy and the storytelling.

01:28:05.000 And let me explain to all of you who don't understand... And the holodeck.

01:28:08.000 Let me explain to all of you who don't understand what it means when you say there are four lights.

01:28:13.000 Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

01:28:15.000 was captured by enemies and he was being tortured mercilessly and the man torturing him had four lights above him and he asked Captain Picard how many lights are there and Picard said there are four and then he presses a button activating a torture device and says you're mistaken there are five lights And no matter how hard he tried to force Captain Picard to say something that was not true, Picard would not do it.

01:28:43.000 I know a lot of people are like, Star Trek's a silly thing, it's a sci-fi show.

01:28:46.000 No.

01:28:46.000 You know what I learned growing up seeing stories like that?

01:28:49.000 There will never be a moment in my life where you come to me and tell me to say something that is not true, and I will say it.

01:28:56.000 I will look you in the eyes and say, there are four lights. 1.00

01:28:59.000 When you come to me with your stupid fake news garbage, and you say, we will ban you, we will destroy you, we will take your income, we will take your life, say there are five lights or else, I'll look you in the eyes and say, there are four lights. 1.00

01:29:12.000 That's what Star Trek's about. 1.00

01:29:13.000 It seems like it.

01:29:14.000 That show was brilliant, and that was a show made by Americans in the 90s, actually 1989, and that was the value being instilled in people at that time, and I grew up with shows like that.

01:29:25.000 Today, they have dogmatic, cult-like garbage they are instilling into people, and they are ruining the classically liberal, defiant, individualistic content that taught us to be good people, to respect one another.

01:29:38.000 Now they're telling us the opposite. 0.98

01:29:39.000 Now colleges are segregating people based on race.

01:29:42.000 When Star Trek was the show that, they say, had the first interracial kiss, apparently that may be a myth, but it did, and it was important.

01:29:49.000 And there was this really famous story I read about the woman who played Captain Uhura on Star Trek, When she was speaking with Dr. King.

01:29:56.000 I don't know if the story is true.

01:29:57.000 I read it somewhere.

01:29:59.000 And maybe it was Dr. King.

01:30:00.000 Maybe I'm getting the story way wrong.

01:30:01.000 And she didn't want to be on the show.

01:30:02.000 And he said, you are fourth in command to a Federation starship.

01:30:07.000 You do not quit that show.

01:30:08.000 Think about the message being sent to little kids about what you represent.

01:30:12.000 Amazing.

01:30:13.000 That was Star Trek.

01:30:14.000 Where are we today?

01:30:15.000 It's almost as if we've been occupied by a virus that seeks our own destruction.

01:30:20.000 The Borg.

01:30:20.000 A hundred percent.

01:30:21.000 We're, our nation's infected with a virus that seeks to kill the host.

01:30:25.000 It's a struggle session.

01:30:26.000 This whole thing.

01:30:27.000 This is a struggle session right now.

01:30:29.000 Kurt Barth was going through a struggle session.

01:30:31.000 This feels like a struggle session.

01:30:32.000 Since the jump in.

01:30:33.000 I'll tell you something, hold on.

01:30:34.000 At the end of the episode.

01:30:36.000 At the end of the episode, Picard was asked, was told by the guy torturing him.

01:30:40.000 He said, you can choose to live in pain and suffering or you can be comfortable.

01:30:46.000 Comfortable clothes and all the women, you're at your heart's content. 1.00

01:30:49.000 And he says, what must I do?

01:30:51.000 And he say, tell me how many lights there are.

01:30:53.000 And Picard is looking, and that's when the other guards come in to release Picard and give him back to the

01:30:59.000 Federation.

01:30:59.000 At the end of the episode, he's talking to the counselor and he says,

01:31:02.000 I would have said anything.

01:31:04.000 And I actually believed there were five lights.

01:31:07.000 Yeah, nobody's perfect.

01:31:08.000 Because torture does that to you.

01:31:11.000 But it's amazing.

01:31:13.000 I wonder what inspired these writers when they write these brilliant things.

01:31:17.000 Oh, that's 1984, dude.

01:31:17.000 That's like a scene right out of 1984.

01:31:19.000 Right, absolutely.

01:31:20.000 I think about shows like, you know, Futurama.

01:31:23.000 Have you ever seen Jurassic Bark?

01:31:26.000 That's what it was called.

01:31:27.000 And it was an episode about, you know, Fry and his dog gets fossilized and he decides whether or not he's going to bring his dog back.

01:31:34.000 Or there was also the episode about Fry's brother who kept stealing his ideas and his moves.

01:31:41.000 Talk about amazing writing and amazing show.

01:31:43.000 So the character Fry talks about how he has a seven-leaf clover, and it gave him all the luck in the world.

01:31:49.000 But his brother Yancey kept stealing everything from him.

01:31:51.000 He then learns, because the feature is about a guy who travels a thousand years in the future, that a guy named Philip J. Fry, who looks just like his brother, was taking all his dreams, going to Mars, being in a rock band, and he had a seven-leaf clover.

01:32:03.000 At the end of the episode, when he goes to rob the grave of what he thinks is his brother who stole everything, he learns that it was actually his nephew that his brother named after him because his brother loved him.

01:32:14.000 What happened to shows like that?

01:32:16.000 This amazing writing where you're watching this dumb comedy show and you end up crying afterwards with that episode and the episode Jurassic Park.

01:32:23.000 What happened to shows like Star Trek?

01:32:26.000 Deep Space Nine was also amazing.

01:32:28.000 Profound writing.

01:32:28.000 Now we have Transformers.

01:32:30.000 Godzilla vs. King Kong.

01:32:31.000 I get it.

01:32:32.000 We probably had movies like this in the past.

01:32:33.000 But I'm saying it's cultural decay.

01:32:35.000 I mean, even Scrubs would get you.

01:32:37.000 John C. Reilly, dude.

01:32:38.000 McGinley, McGinley, John McGinley.

01:32:44.000 Riley's also good.

01:32:45.000 It's flooded.

01:32:46.000 The industry's flooded.

01:32:47.000 So they have to like do these beacons of light in the sense of like, let's do a reboot that everyone's going to put their eyes on.

01:32:54.000 In 1989, it was like five, 12 channels, you know, one production company that are like, you know, a small segment of production companies that could pick what got seen.

01:33:02.000 I love Marvel movies.

01:33:04.000 But there is not a single Marvel movie, and probably, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but off the top of my head, I don't think I can name a movie in the past five years that gives me the same sense of, like, awe and emotion that I get from, like, I think the episode of Star Trek was called The Make of a Man, when Dado the andro was on trial, and they're trying to determine whether or not he was a sentient living being with full rights, and they talk about what makes a person a person.

01:33:28.000 Amazing.

01:33:29.000 What are we leaving for our kids, right?

01:33:30.000 he still his wife also was she was in the show.

01:33:33.000 Roddenberry was he still involved with the writing of in that

01:33:36.000 generation. I'm pretty sure the next generation was high quality.

01:33:39.000 I remember watching it.

01:33:40.000 But like I watched I watched all that. What are we leaving for our

01:33:42.000 kids. Right.

01:33:43.000 So that's almost to the Grammys now.

01:33:45.000 And actually say to Candace Owens. She's right.

01:33:48.000 I look at that story about Star Trek and Captain Uhura, a

01:33:52.000 black woman who was fourth in command to and to it to the 1.00

01:33:55.000 flagship of the of the Federation. 0.96

01:33:58.000 And it's a piece of fiction and it's silly and everything, but think about what that means as a culture of what we're telling our kids.

01:34:04.000 That you can be the best of the best, the top, highest ranking, or one of them.

01:34:08.000 Now it's Cardi B on a giant bed jumping up and down on a song called WAP.

01:34:14.000 We're getting trouble on YouTube if we even tell you the name of it.

01:34:16.000 I can't even begin to explain how demoralized I am with that Grammy performance.

01:34:25.000 With the whole Cardi B phenomenon.

01:34:27.000 I can't.

01:34:31.000 So did you just say that YouTube is more conservative than legacy media?

01:34:38.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:34:39.000 Look, I don't care if Cardi B wants to do those dances. 0.96

01:34:41.000 That's fascinating assessment.

01:34:43.000 I mean, I agree with you, but it's just it's fascinating to think that culturally they will censor Whatever WAP means.

01:34:52.000 And yet, you blasted out over the airwaves on the Grammys.

01:34:56.000 Now listen, I am not offended at all in any way by the WAP performance.

01:35:02.000 I really don't care in the sense that if you want to have your own show and you want to do that, by all means, go and do it.

01:35:09.000 I'm just not going to watch it.

01:35:11.000 Much like the LGBTQ Captain America, I'm glad you guys get your presentation.

01:35:15.000 I think it's important.

01:35:17.000 Um, I'm happy you guys have a comic you're, you're enjoying.

01:35:19.000 Me personally, I'm not going to buy it.

01:35:21.000 I don't like mint ice cream.

01:35:22.000 I don't like chocolate chip mint.

01:35:23.000 I think mint is gross.

01:35:24.000 I don't want to take it away from anybody else.

01:35:27.000 I'm not offended by it.

01:35:27.000 I just won't buy it.

01:35:28.000 So the Grammys can do their show and I'm not going to watch it.

01:35:32.000 But my criticism is that what do we then share as a mass culture where we all actually say this is something that inspires us and it makes us feel better.

01:35:41.000 Oh yeah, that's gone.

01:35:42.000 Social cohesion is gone.

01:35:43.000 The top-down one-to-many model of communication and social cohesion is gone forever.

01:35:49.000 The only thing at this point now that's going to bring total cohesion is a return.

01:35:55.000 My boy Michael Millerman knows what I mean when I say a return.

01:35:58.000 A return?

01:35:58.000 What does that mean?

01:35:59.000 A return.

01:36:01.000 Not everything old is bad and not everything new is good.

01:36:05.000 And it's true. 0.56

01:36:07.000 Yeah, I think it's funny.

01:36:08.000 I was taking these political tests, you know, like the eight values and the political compass.

01:36:12.000 My political compass test, man, I am further left and further libertarian than I've ever been reading through these tests.

01:36:17.000 But you know what I realized?

01:36:19.000 The political compass test is outdated.

01:36:21.000 It doesn't ask anything about the modern culture war, the modern left or right.

01:36:24.000 It asks you, like, how do you feel about progressive taxes and, like, multinational corporations?

01:36:29.000 So I'm like... Yeah, it doesn't matter.

01:36:30.000 But I was taking these tests and I was just looking at some of these questions and it's very interpretable.

01:36:37.000 I guess what I'm trying to say is when we try to understand someone's politics, No.

01:36:40.000 You could ask someone a question like, do you think major corporations have an advantage in

01:36:46.000 their ability to move quickly and execute plans quickly? No.

01:36:49.000 I didn't ask you if you thought it was good or bad. Oh, I just think the answer to that

01:36:53.000 question is no. You don't think corporations have an advantage over moving quickly?

01:36:57.000 Absolutely not.

01:36:58.000 That's the biggest downfall.

01:36:59.000 Over the government?

01:37:00.000 Oh, over the government?

01:37:02.000 Yes, they can move more quickly than the government.

01:37:03.000 I'm not saying you like it.

01:37:04.000 And that's what happens.

01:37:05.000 People end up looking at, you know, these political compass tests and political tests and it's like... No, the only question dividing us politically and will be eventually we will all be sorted by this 100% is do you believe in essentialism or do you believe in the blank slate?

01:37:18.000 That's going to be the final dividing line.

01:37:21.000 Define those things.

01:37:22.000 Essentialism.

01:37:22.000 That we are and act who we are based on our biology, our hormones, our size, our strength.

01:37:29.000 That you can't disconnect biology from the way you behave and culture, et cetera.

01:37:35.000 And blank slate is that you're born with nothing.

01:37:38.000 Constructivism.

01:37:39.000 And you are injected with all the things that you believe and all of your interests and all of your desires and all of your capabilities and all of your aptitudes.

01:37:47.000 So let me, we can pull this up.

01:37:49.000 I took the eight values test and it ranks me as a pragmatist.

01:37:52.000 It says, politics objectively boils down to looking at where the problems are and trying to solve them according to the means available.

01:37:59.000 But the interesting thing about this, when you're trying to figure out someone's left or right, you can't anymore.

01:38:02.000 Why?

01:38:03.000 Well, I'm a progressive, it says.

01:38:05.000 69% progressive, 19% kind of middle, and then a very tiny fraction conservative.

01:38:12.000 I'm for 64% rehabilitative justice.

01:38:16.000 Man, sounds like I'd fit right in with a lot of these progressives.

01:38:18.000 The only problem?

01:38:19.000 I'm a 57% essentialist.

01:38:22.000 Wait, wait.

01:38:22.000 Rehabilitative justice is totally different than restorative justice.

01:38:26.000 Right.

01:38:27.000 But the so that's that's critical race collectivist stuff.

01:38:30.000 Yeah.

01:38:31.000 Right.

01:38:31.000 So when the progressives talk about rehabilitation versus well, at least they used to.

01:38:36.000 That's why I'm saying it doesn't apply anymore.

01:38:39.000 When you look at the left and the right.

01:38:40.000 Here's what's really funny.

01:38:41.000 When you look at my my my test, 57 percent capitalism, but 69 percent progressive.

01:38:46.000 And they'll tell they'll tell you people like me don't exist.

01:38:49.000 But I'm 57% essentialist, meaning collective constructivism, where you think everything's a construct, is non-existent on my eight values test.

01:38:58.000 And then international and national are fairly balanced.

01:39:00.000 Revolution and reform, fairly balanced.

01:39:03.000 Ecology and production, balanced.

01:39:04.000 Regulation and laissez-faire, balanced.

01:39:06.000 The core issues for me are essentialism and... Well, I should say this.

01:39:11.000 The big debate, as you pointed out, right now, in politics, in culture, is constructivism versus essentialism.

01:39:17.000 That's what defines you as left or right, I suppose.

01:39:19.000 100%.

01:39:19.000 And in fact, that's the main thesis of my book, Democrats are Deplorable, is that our political parties will be sorted and are sorting currently under this paradigm.

01:39:29.000 We got to go to Super Chats because we are running late.

01:39:30.000 Oh, cool.

01:39:31.000 But let's talk more about this political spectrum stuff and constructivism in the members-only segment.

01:39:38.000 For now, let's read these Super Chats.

01:39:40.000 If you haven't already, smash the like button.

01:39:42.000 If I've earned it and you really like the show, the like button really does help.

01:39:46.000 And subscribe, hit the notification bell, and go to TimCast.com, become a member, and pick up, by clicking shop, your Diamond Hands Gorilla shirt, or your OurPillow, because OurPillow is better than my personal pillow.

01:39:59.000 Not the company.

01:40:00.000 Actually, I'll say this.

01:40:01.000 The MyPillow is actually good, and probably better than my joke pillow, but get the joke pillow because it's funny.

01:40:06.000 There you go.

01:40:07.000 Shoutout to MyPillow, I guess.

01:40:08.000 Alright, here we go.

01:40:10.000 Aaron Tamiki says Tim.

01:40:12.000 Can you shout out?

01:40:13.000 It's me and can you shout out?

01:40:15.000 It's me and my girlfriend's one-year.

01:40:16.000 Love you.

01:40:17.000 I love you, Liss.

01:40:19.000 Did you mean Lids?

01:40:20.000 Aaron's girlfriend's probably Liss.

01:40:22.000 Oh Liss.

01:40:23.000 Congratulations guys.

01:40:24.000 Yeah, shout out for your one year.

01:40:27.000 All right, let's see we got here.

01:40:31.000 The Black Blade says, Ian, you might not be married or have kids, but did you know that you were helping me become a better husband and father?

01:40:38.000 My seven of Damascus steel would have your back any day.

01:40:41.000 Thanks dude.

01:40:42.000 Oh, there you go, man.

01:40:43.000 God's work.

01:40:44.000 The Wrong Thinker says, I can't wait to retire and grow a Jack Murphy beard.

01:40:48.000 Don't wait.

01:40:50.000 If you're, if you're afraid that your employer won't let you have a beard like this, do you want to work for them?

01:40:56.000 No.

01:40:57.000 All right, I'm like, we have a bunch of super chats coming in and I'm like, wow, it must be a good day.

01:41:02.000 A lot of people are, I wonder what's happening.

01:41:04.000 Oh, the Black Blade says, guess what?

01:41:05.000 Stimulus.

01:41:06.000 Guess what I choose to invest in?

01:41:08.000 My favorite alt media.

01:41:09.000 Cheers, friends.

01:41:10.000 Hey, greatly appreciate it if you got those stimulus checks.

01:41:13.000 I see a whole bunch of, you know, it's one of the funniest things in the world.

01:41:16.000 They're giving all these people 1,400 bucks.

01:41:18.000 Some people don't need it and they're just buying stocks with it.

01:41:21.000 They're buying GameStop with it.

01:41:24.000 Not financial advice.

01:41:25.000 Is it taxable?

01:41:26.000 Yes, it is.

01:41:27.000 Yes.

01:41:28.000 It's like, we're going to give you money, but then take some back with your own tax money.

01:41:32.000 We're going to pay you and then tax you. 0.84

01:41:34.000 Unemployment is taxed.

01:41:36.000 It's it's called.

01:41:38.000 No, no.

01:41:38.000 It's called an insurance payout.

01:41:39.000 It's smart.

01:41:42.000 Because that way, the people that made a lot of money before they become unemployed still have to pay tax at the progressive rate.

01:41:48.000 It's a way of diminishing the return of that benefit to people that don't need it.

01:41:52.000 Then why do a means tested check where they're like, if you make certain amount of money, you don't get one.

01:41:57.000 No, just your taxes.

01:41:58.000 I'll cover that.

01:41:59.000 Yeah.

01:41:59.000 Maybe I'm wrong on the taxation.

01:42:01.000 I think you're absolutely right.

01:42:02.000 At least I know for sure on employment.

01:42:04.000 I'm pretty sure on this though.

01:42:05.000 I thought everybody, my, my opinion is that everybody should get, should get a check.

01:42:09.000 Yeah, you still have to do means tested if you just, if it's taxable and thrown on top of your AGI.

01:42:15.000 I even think billionaires should get a check.

01:42:17.000 You know why?

01:42:17.000 Because there's not that many of them and they're getting taxed on that.

01:42:20.000 And they're only going to end up getting a couple hundred bucks off of their income.

01:42:23.000 It's not that bad.

01:42:25.000 Maybe they get 1200 of it or of the 1400.

01:42:27.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:42:28.000 It is that bad.

01:42:29.000 People don't, people don't realize the top tax bracket is not 90%.

01:42:32.000 Oh, let's throw it. 0.97

01:42:34.000 Let's talk about all the other taxes on top sales tax.

01:42:36.000 Let's talk about the corporate tax.

01:42:37.000 Let's talk about their employment tax, social security.

01:42:39.000 Bro, you ain't gotta convince me taxes are bad.

01:42:42.000 People don't understand that income tax is not the only issue taking money away from people who are, you know, working.

01:42:49.000 And there's actually net benefits wealthy people get at a certain level, like Social Security tax stops at a certain number, so you're making a ton of money, also your check gets bigger.

01:42:57.000 I'm just saying that if we're already taxing this, if it's taxed, my argument was that Let's say you were making $150 a year, and so you got an apartment in New York because your standard of living is there, and then COVID hits and you lose your job.

01:43:12.000 And now you can't, everything you budgeted for, your phone bill, your car, you got an auto loan.

01:43:16.000 You know, your loan is a couple hundred bucks a month or whatever, and now you're like, I can't pay these bills.

01:43:21.000 Then you hear about the stimulus and you're like, please, I need some money.

01:43:26.000 And they say, oh, but not you because you're rich.

01:43:28.000 You made a bunch of money last year.

01:43:29.000 It's like, bro, I lost my job.

01:43:30.000 I'm going to lose everything.

01:43:32.000 Then you have someone who has a lower bracket who deserves the money as well.

01:43:35.000 They're budgeted for $50,000.

01:43:37.000 I think it might be taxed, not taxed, I don't know.

01:43:39.000 Tax day got pushed back to May 15th?

01:43:39.000 their standard of living, it's going to be knocking middle class people down to lower

01:43:44.000 middle class and lower class.

01:43:46.000 That's why I thought the means testing was wrong.

01:43:47.000 And I'm like, if you're going to do a stimulus, it should be like unemployment benefits and

01:43:51.000 a stimulus for everybody.

01:43:53.000 I think it might be taxed, not taxed.

01:43:54.000 I don't know.

01:43:55.000 Tax day got pushed back to May 15th.

01:43:57.000 May 17th.

01:43:58.000 All right.

01:44:00.000 He says, hey, Beanie Crew.

01:44:01.000 I was hoping you could shout out my friend Brock, who introduced me to you guys.

01:44:04.000 You guys should talk about the composition of the government budget.

01:44:08.000 People don't know enough, in my opinion.

01:44:10.000 That's a good point.

01:44:11.000 I watched a video from Gravel Institute, I think it's called. 0.99

01:44:15.000 And it was David Cross talking about why America sucks. 0.95

01:44:17.000 And it was really good at first. 0.99

01:44:19.000 I was really excited.

01:44:20.000 They're well-produced.

01:44:22.000 And he's basically like, look at all this we're spending in taxes.

01:44:25.000 And the problem is, and then he goes into healthcare costs and like, inefficiency of the healthcare industry, and I was like, you were so close, bro.

01:44:31.000 You needed to say only one thing.

01:44:33.000 The tax dollars, too much of it goes to blowing up kids in foreign countries. 0.80

01:44:37.000 Black budget. 0.67

01:44:38.000 Yeah.

01:44:39.000 We don't even know what it's being spent on.

01:44:40.000 Right.

01:44:40.000 Or like, what was it?

01:44:41.000 There's like trillions of dollars missing from the Pentagon budget, like they didn't know where it went or something.

01:44:46.000 Things like that.

01:44:47.000 And so I'm saying, like, dude, if you come out, you come to me and say, hey, you know that we spend, like, $600 billion on war?

01:44:54.000 I'd be like, okay, how much of that is, like, actual defense of America?

01:44:59.000 Probably not as much as you'd think.

01:45:02.000 A lot of it goes to these overseas military bases and things like that.

01:45:05.000 After that, you can argue anything you want to me.

01:45:07.000 Like, I need a billion dollars for this program.

01:45:09.000 I'd be like, oh yeah, take it from the blown-up kids department, right?

01:45:12.000 So there's a really great argument for progressives if they start with, uh, we're not going to tax you more. 0.89

01:45:17.000 We're just going to take the money from the things that are dumb and put it towards things that make more sense.

01:45:21.000 And I think everyone then is going to be like, okay.

01:45:24.000 I mean, unless you get like critical race theory stuff, like the green new deal.

01:45:26.000 Otherwise that's crazy.

01:45:29.000 All right, Christina H. says, By the way, Ian, last week when I said you look like Ian Hill of Judas Priest in the 80s, I totally meant that as a compliment.

01:45:36.000 Thanks for all you guys do.

01:45:37.000 Love you.

01:45:37.000 Have a great night.

01:45:38.000 I looked it up, but oh, I don't think I got him right.

01:45:40.000 I didn't think I looked like him.

01:45:42.000 I feel bad.

01:45:44.000 Why?

01:45:44.000 Michael Brogan says, It's St.

01:45:46.000 Paddy's Day.

01:45:46.000 Enjoy that beer, Jack.

01:45:47.000 Oh, you're right.

01:45:48.000 We should have all had a beer.

01:45:49.000 Jack Murphy.

01:45:50.000 Not playing.

01:45:52.000 Formerly John Goldman, now Jack Murphy.

01:45:55.000 It's a great name.

01:45:56.000 You should embrace it.

01:45:57.000 Gold man.

01:45:58.000 John Murphy Goldman.

01:46:00.000 Explain the history.

01:46:01.000 John Murphy Goldman.

01:46:01.000 That's my full name, yeah.

01:46:03.000 John and Jack is like a translatable... Indeed it is. 0.52

01:46:09.000 Why you gotta step on my St.

01:46:11.000 Paddy's Day moment like that?

01:46:12.000 I think it's a good move.

01:46:14.000 Good lord.

01:46:15.000 Spencer Prudhom says, Tim, when's the tinfoil hat gorilla shirt coming out?

01:46:18.000 I'll become a member just for that.

01:46:20.000 You know what?

01:46:21.000 You're right.

01:46:22.000 I have not gotten that done.

01:46:26.000 And it's basically done.

01:46:27.000 And it should be up.

01:46:28.000 So we will do, and I'll try and do this by tomorrow, a limited edition tinfoil hat I am a gorilla shirt.

01:46:35.000 Tinfoil hat.

01:46:36.000 It looks pretty good.

01:46:37.000 We have the graphic.

01:46:37.000 I just gotta get it up.

01:46:39.000 So, uh, the Diamond Hands one, I didn't really have a plan for.

01:46:42.000 I just thought it was funny.

01:46:43.000 Like, you know, because the GameStop, the Wall Street bets people have a meme.

01:46:48.000 You know, Apes Together Strong.

01:46:49.000 It's from Planet of the Apes.

01:46:51.000 And so I was like, well, we have this shirt.

01:46:52.000 Let's make one where he's like a Wall Street guy with money.

01:46:55.000 I thought it'd be funny.

01:46:56.000 Apparently everybody really loves it.

01:46:57.000 I like the evolution of the gorilla.

01:46:59.000 He's become a Wall Street trader.

01:47:00.000 He's going, we'll have to do a gorilla in space one day.

01:47:03.000 On Mars with Elon Musk?

01:47:04.000 Yeah.

01:47:04.000 Alright, let's see.

01:47:06.000 Butters Oregano says, Glad you guys had Rucka on the other day.

01:47:11.000 I feel like he's so close to breaking out of the dream world that his objectivism.

01:47:15.000 Also glad you pushed back more fervently near the end of the show.

01:47:18.000 I just think that, look, Alan West said things I didn't necessarily agree with,

01:47:23.000 but I'm not here to just...

01:47:24.000 argue and, like, berate, necessarily.

01:47:28.000 Although sometimes, you know, we've had people on the show where we get into pretty, like, you know, pretty legit arguments.

01:47:33.000 I do try to be like, okay, here's a person who's expressing their opinion.

01:47:36.000 Let's flesh out their opinion a little bit.

01:47:38.000 And then if they say something I really disagree with, I'll push back.

01:47:40.000 You know, but for the most part, it's like we're trying to learn from other people and think and figure out what they think.

01:47:46.000 All right, DV Ken Bravo says, Tim and crew, first SC here.

01:47:50.000 Funny how the Democrats say that states that have constitutional carry or are two-way sanctuaries will turn to the Wild West when leftist-run cities like Minneapolis sure look like the OK Corral.

01:48:00.000 You don't see Chazz's in Texas. 1.00

01:48:02.000 Diamond hands gorilla for life, he says.

01:48:04.000 That's right.

01:48:05.000 Diamond hands gorilla.

01:48:06.000 Yeah, that's funny.

01:48:07.000 What do you think would happen if there was like a Chazz in Texas? 1.00

01:48:10.000 I don't think it would work.

01:48:11.000 It's a non-starter.

01:48:12.000 Yeah, just wouldn't happen.

01:48:14.000 Because the guy who lives there would just walk outside and be like, keep walking.

01:48:17.000 Right.

01:48:19.000 Although there was that, you know, Dallas shooting stuff, that crazy guy shooting the cops.

01:48:22.000 I mean, that was crazy.

01:48:25.000 Yeah, that got memory old, didn't it?

01:48:26.000 What was that?

01:48:29.000 When that guy, that gentleman of a non-specific race, shot up a bunch of cops of specific races. 0.85

01:48:38.000 A black identity extremist in Dallas started shooting at cops.

01:48:41.000 What?

01:48:41.000 Killed like six of them in the run-up to the 2016 election.

01:48:45.000 Yeah.

01:48:46.000 Oh, yeah.

01:48:47.000 Yeah.

01:48:48.000 All right.

01:48:48.000 Let's see.

01:48:48.000 April FierceFamilyG2G says, China has starvation to keep their people weak under control.

01:48:54.000 The U.S.' 's ideology is to keep us separated, weak, and under control.

01:48:58.000 Mental slavery to keep us from coming together and fighting back.

01:49:00.000 Media propaganda and lack of knowledge.

01:49:03.000 Yeah.

01:49:05.000 Except in China, they have moved more people out of poverty into living conditions that are sustainable than anybody in the world. 0.69

01:49:13.000 They have urbanized at a rate faster than anybody else in the world.

01:49:16.000 I have no idea what that person is talking about.

01:49:18.000 The Nazis did that too. 0.95

01:49:20.000 What?

01:49:20.000 Urbanized?

01:49:20.000 Rebuttal those people out of poverty.

01:49:23.000 I'm not saying that they didn't.

01:49:24.000 And it's funny, the guys like Steven Pinker that will look around the world and say, oh, democracy and freedom is spreading and changing poverty conditions and bringing people out of poverty.

01:49:33.000 They fail to mention that the number one driving statistical force in people coming out of poverty is Chinese authoritarian communism.

01:49:42.000 Interesting.

01:49:42.000 You never say that.

01:49:43.000 It's how you get out of poverty really is the key.

01:49:45.000 All right.

01:49:46.000 A-Texan says, Millennials are depressed.

01:49:48.000 To your earlier point, we're rationally paying attention and realizing our country isn't the one we were promised in our youth.

01:49:54.000 MAGA resonated for a reason.

01:49:56.000 With a lot of people, that's absolutely.

01:49:58.000 I think a lot of the people who are on the left who vote Democrat, they just watch the mainstream media and believe what they're told.

01:50:05.000 So to them, it's like, why aren't I getting what I want?

01:50:08.000 Blame Trump.

01:50:09.000 OK, I will.

01:50:12.000 BlackRockBeacon says, I look forward to things like hearing from you about me being your war hazardous environment correspondent.

01:50:22.000 Former EOD tech with special forces deployment to Afghanistan, trained and ready to go.

01:50:27.000 Cool.

01:50:28.000 Fantastic.

01:50:29.000 Yeah.

01:50:30.000 Thank you.

01:50:32.000 Why you gotta be so awkward over there, Ian?

01:50:34.000 All right, JMac, he got a big ol' super chat. He says, Honestly, after I got medically retired from the military,

01:50:38.000 was really depressed and lost purpose.

01:50:40.000 It was the lowest point in my life, and I had a pretty rough childhood.

01:50:44.000 After cutting junk food and excessive beer out of my life, I focused on my kids and started starting a business,

01:50:50.000 happiest I've ever been.

01:50:51.000 Wow.

01:50:52.000 Congratulations, dude.

01:50:53.000 Take action.

01:50:54.000 Align yourself to the energy of the universe.

01:50:56.000 Action is rewarded.

01:50:58.000 The gut biome is like... We gotta have a gut biome expert on some... Well, South parted that episode where they were trying to get... Oh, yeah.

01:51:05.000 Fecal implants?

01:51:05.000 Where they were doing, yeah, the butt swaps.

01:51:07.000 Yeah.

01:51:07.000 Apparently, it's really good for you.

01:51:09.000 You can, like, reintroduce positive bacteria into your gut.

01:51:12.000 That was the one thing she said that I didn't have any problem with.

01:51:14.000 You get older you have a favorite spatula.

01:51:15.000 I was using one to get the scoby out of the kombucha earlier.

01:51:17.000 It was an artifact of her talking about how many brownies she eats. 0.99

01:51:20.000 Yeah, right?

01:51:20.000 just works great.

01:51:21.000 That was the one thing she said that I didn't have any problem

01:51:24.000 with. You get older, you have a favorite spatula.

01:51:26.000 I was using one to get the scoby out of the kombucha.

01:51:28.000 It was an artifact of her talking about how many brownies she eats. 0.99

01:51:32.000 Yeah. Right.

01:51:33.000 Yeah.

01:51:34.000 April Fierce Family says when you don't have an identity in

01:51:39.000 God and find it elsewhere.

01:51:40.000 That's why they created identity politics and now social warriors and legalized sin. 0.74

01:51:45.000 And when that's filled to the brim, you can punch old ladies without a thought. 1.00

01:51:49.000 I mean, it's a, it's a, it's a lack of a moral framework.

01:51:53.000 There's none.

01:51:53.000 Their moral framework is based upon if like, it's not even about being a victim.

01:51:57.000 They have a framework.

01:51:58.000 They have a very clear and explicit moral framework.

01:52:01.000 No, they don't.

01:52:02.000 Yes, they do.

01:52:02.000 Then why do they attack Candace Owens?

01:52:05.000 Because it fits into their moral framework.

01:52:07.000 They have morals, and we are in violation of their morals.

01:52:11.000 That's why they hate us.

01:52:12.000 That's why they think that we're evil.

01:52:14.000 That's why they think we need to be put down.

01:52:16.000 This really is an excellent example.

01:52:19.000 You're correct in saying they have a moral, but my argument is... They don't have the right one.

01:52:23.000 A moral that is, agree with me or I'll beat you, is not a moral framework.

01:52:27.000 It is just a rudimentary, like...

01:52:31.000 Oh man.

01:52:31.000 Primitive, instinctual function.

01:52:33.000 Their moral framework is, is if you don't work towards justice for everybody, you're actively working against justice for everybody and therefore you're evil.

01:52:40.000 Define justice in this moral framework.

01:52:42.000 It's their definition, bro.

01:52:43.000 That's the point I'm bringing up.

01:52:44.000 There's, there's no way to define what they're fighting for.

01:52:47.000 It's agree with them or else.

01:52:49.000 That's not a framework.

01:52:51.000 That is just a, a, an instinctual demand of in tribe or not in tribe.

01:52:56.000 So how, Tim, do you see.

01:52:58.000 They even attack their own.

01:52:59.000 Of course they're going to.

01:53:01.000 That's the way it's going to end.

01:53:02.000 It's not a moral framework when they arbitrarily attack someone who agrees with them.

01:53:08.000 I think that if we examine that circumstance a little bit deeper, we would see perhaps that there wasn't as clear as that.

01:53:15.000 But I'm just bringing this up as a way to compare again.

01:53:19.000 It's not the absence of a moral framework that's a problem. 1.00

01:53:22.000 It's the adherence to crappy, stupid moral frameworks that's the problem. 0.99

01:53:26.000 And that we've been given and presented with a moral framework that works. 1.00

01:53:31.000 Now, are we going to adhere to it or not is the question.

01:53:33.000 All right.

01:53:34.000 All right.

01:53:34.000 We got a very important Super Chat here from Hayden.

01:53:36.000 He says, Tim, you often say that people should move to the woods and build things with their hands.

01:53:41.000 This is one big problem.

01:53:42.000 Money.

01:53:43.000 You have to own the tract of forest to build a house in it.

01:53:46.000 I want nothing more than to build a home.

01:53:48.000 It costs tens of thousands for the land alone.

01:53:52.000 Do you know how much it costs for a half acre in West Virginia?

01:53:56.000 Fifteen hundred bucks.

01:53:58.000 Yeah, you can find that depending on where you are in West Virginia.

01:54:00.000 With water?

01:54:01.000 And electricity?

01:54:01.000 No.

01:54:02.000 No, raw.

01:54:03.000 Actually, no.

01:54:03.000 Some have streams.

01:54:04.000 Some actually have access to some, but like raw.

01:54:06.000 Oh, sure, sure, but raw.

01:54:08.000 But if you want to get closer to the urban centers, you can get a half acre for five grand.

01:54:13.000 Now, I don't know if they'll do a loan on just five grand.

01:54:16.000 So maybe, you know, you've gotta save up a little bit.

01:54:19.000 But maybe that's what you gotta do.

01:54:21.000 Save up a little bit.

01:54:22.000 Maybe it's just going to be more difficult when you find an acre for 1,500 bucks, and you probably can.

01:54:28.000 Cheap, middle of nowhere, and you've gotta be completely self-reliant.

01:54:31.000 But you know what ends up happening?

01:54:32.000 It's like I talked about with the Occupy people who got that farm.

01:54:35.000 They realize how hard it is to actually live being self-reliant, and it is just easier to say, I'd rather just work at a fast food restaurant.

01:54:44.000 It is easier to work at a fast food restaurant.

01:54:46.000 There's really cool prefab buildings with like gray water systems built in and I think they're a lot more solar.

01:54:51.000 Pricey.

01:54:52.000 Pricey.

01:54:52.000 Yeah, probably like 20 grand.

01:54:53.000 Relatively, but you can- Way more than that.

01:54:55.000 I think so.

01:54:55.000 I've seen some cheap ones.

01:54:56.000 You can get some pretty cheap prefab stuff.

01:54:59.000 Granted, now we're talking of tens of thousands of dollars, but if you get an acre of land with some trees on it, it's not all that expensive.

01:55:07.000 It's not the easiest thing in the world.

01:55:08.000 I'm actually saying it is hard.

01:55:10.000 That's the point.

01:55:10.000 But you're also kind of like just pointing the direction.

01:55:13.000 I know it is, it is hard.

01:55:14.000 You can't just be like, hey, tomorrow go, go buy that land, but aim for it.

01:55:19.000 It's not, Tim, you're pointing out a destination as people should head to.

01:55:23.000 I often do that too, but really what we're talking about is the spirit.

01:55:26.000 The spirit of, I will not accept my current circumstances and I will do everything I can to change them, to improve them.

01:55:34.000 I will forget about my vices.

01:55:36.000 I will forget about my entertainment.

01:55:39.000 I will dedicate myself to solving this problem because I'm an independent, auto-regulating man or woman, whatever.

01:55:46.000 Point is is you just have to take this attitude of I can Not the attitude of I can't that's exactly it So I'm not I shouldn't literally like I think it's an extreme example of like go in the woods and build a house with sticks What I'm actually just saying is be a pioneer, you know Find the heaviest thing you can carry and carry it Whether it's go into your like living room and just start drawing pictures something you don't normally do honestly I think people should go for walks.

01:56:12.000 I think people should literally like if you play video games all day Turn on a podcast and go for a walk.

01:56:19.000 No joke.

01:56:19.000 It will change your life.

01:56:21.000 If you're not active, and I know a lot of people probably can't go for walks because of COVID or whatever, but if you can find the time, like even watching this show, I don't go walk around in the middle of the night or whatever when it's dark out or something, but a lot of people will listen to this show in the next day or so, get up early in the morning, just go walk around a little bit.

01:56:38.000 You'll see some squirrels doing squirrel stuff.

01:56:40.000 That's always funny, right? 0.99

01:56:41.000 You know, squirrels are silly. 0.98

01:56:42.000 Saving the world starts in the squat rack. 0.98

01:56:44.000 I mean that literally and figuratively.

01:56:46.000 You save yourself, save society, save everything by getting fit and strong.

01:56:50.000 Make it the number one most important priority in your life after sleep.

01:56:53.000 Yeah.

01:56:54.000 And drink water.

01:56:55.000 Yeah.

01:56:56.000 When you, when you wake up, you want to drink some water.

01:56:58.000 It'll change your life.

01:56:59.000 You know, because when you're sleeping for, you know, seven, eight hours or however long you sleep, you're not drinking any water.

01:57:05.000 You wake up dehydrated.

01:57:06.000 Immediately slam some water and you will feel like a million bucks.

01:57:09.000 And go to the bathroom when you need to go to the bathroom.

01:57:11.000 Your body is, doesn't know when, if you, if your body has wants and needs and it doesn't understand not giving it that.

01:57:18.000 Tell me about your body's wants and needs.

01:57:20.000 I'm not going to get into it on the show, Jack.

01:57:21.000 I'll tell you afterwards.

01:57:22.000 Thank you.

01:57:23.000 Definitely.

01:57:23.000 All right.

01:57:25.000 Jonathan Galterini says, check out Jack Posobiec on Twitter.

01:57:28.000 He got military people to send him the latest on Biden's new extremism training for ratting out extremists.

01:57:34.000 Nobody ever knew anyone, so they altered the definition to fit right-wing extremism.

01:57:40.000 Yeah, because people were like, what does extremism look like to you?

01:57:43.000 What have you seen?

01:57:44.000 And the troops were like, well, you know, when Antifa was attacking that federal courthouse in Portland and then the people running the thing were like, no, that's not what we're talking about.

01:57:55.000 There you go.

01:57:57.000 All right.

01:57:57.000 The military is in trouble.

01:57:59.000 Yeah, that's what Alan was saying last night.

01:58:01.000 Big time.

01:58:02.000 Yeah, we're going to get we're going to break apart.

01:58:04.000 We're going to get crushed.

01:58:05.000 I am not optimistic in that regard.

01:58:06.000 It's so weird.

01:58:07.000 We need allies.

01:58:08.000 I mean, look, it's At one, it is the most bountiful time to be alive.

01:58:16.000 Look at you, Tim.

01:58:18.000 No high school, no college. 1.00

01:58:20.000 Bust your ass. 1.00

01:58:21.000 For real, guys. 1.00

01:58:22.000 Tim Pool works harder than anybody I know. 1.00

01:58:25.000 Bust your ass. 1.00

01:58:25.000 And here you are. 1.00

01:58:26.000 There's the most bountiful time to be alive.

01:58:28.000 But at the same time, it is very difficult to not be just horribly pessimistic.

01:58:32.000 I think people have been conditioned not to work hard.

01:58:36.000 Or to not know how to.

01:58:37.000 I can't.

01:58:38.000 They've been conditioned to.

01:58:39.000 I can't.

01:58:40.000 You don't need to.

01:58:41.000 You probably used to need to.

01:58:43.000 But now you can kind of get by with kind of not doing much.

01:58:45.000 Was it James Lindsay who told us this?

01:58:47.000 I can't remember if it was him.

01:58:48.000 Someone said they were playing World of Warcraft, and they were building up this character, and then eventually realized, like, all that time and energy I'm putting into making this really awesome character, I could make myself really awesome.

01:59:01.000 There is no better feeling than leveling up your real life.

01:59:05.000 Leveling up your real life is the bomb.

01:59:06.000 And dude, making YouTube videos and watching the analytics is like a role-playing game.

01:59:11.000 You're like, oh my, my numbers are going up.

01:59:13.000 I'm watching the value of the comments, of the communication.

01:59:16.000 My skills are increasing. 0.58

01:59:17.000 That makes you go insane though.

01:59:19.000 Yeah.

01:59:19.000 I mean, life is insane.

01:59:21.000 Especially when your numbers go down and you think it's you, but it's really just a post election.

01:59:26.000 You eventually will learn that it's trends.

01:59:27.000 Worst thing in the world.

01:59:28.000 You detach from the personalization of it.

01:59:30.000 Social media is a plague, an addiction, and it's destroying the minds of people because they don't understand human behavior and how networks work.

01:59:38.000 And so what happens is, they make a YouTube video, they get a million views, they feel really good about themselves, and then here comes, like, summertime, and everyone goes out to play in the yard and don't watch YouTube videos, and they only get 100,000 views, and they become depressed and then Quit because they don't understand what they're doing wrong.

01:59:53.000 They're not doing anything.

01:59:54.000 It happens all the time.

01:59:55.000 But for you it didn't.

01:59:56.000 Sometimes you can understand and make money off of it.

01:59:59.000 You're completely wrong.

02:00:00.000 This affects everybody.

02:00:03.000 Like I mentioned, I'm getting hit up all the time right now.

02:00:05.000 I get like 10 people hitting up in the past week.

02:00:07.000 Yo, dude, they're suppressing my content.

02:00:08.000 What do I do?

02:00:09.000 I'm freaking out.

02:00:09.000 I'm like, stop.

02:00:10.000 Nothing.

02:00:11.000 You're doing nothing.

02:00:12.000 I just happen to be, I guess, knowledgeable in the industry, tracking media ratings.

02:00:17.000 Seasons.

02:00:18.000 You're seasoned.

02:00:18.000 Persistent.

02:00:19.000 No, but listen.

02:00:19.000 When I first started doing this, I understood how ratings worked.

02:00:23.000 I understood how seasons worked.

02:00:24.000 When one day it rained, viewership went up and I laughed.

02:00:27.000 I'm like, it's raining on the East Coast, major storm, so everyone's inside.

02:00:30.000 But people don't get this and social media makes them go insane because they don't know how to make these systems work properly.

02:00:36.000 You don't want to overanalyze it.

02:00:37.000 You know what is simple for people for leveling up?

02:00:40.000 Going for a run and being like, wow, I ran a minute longer than last time.

02:00:44.000 Yeah, but also saying something you believe and then seeing people respond, you're like, oh, it's better than a video game.

02:00:49.000 No.

02:00:49.000 Yeah.

02:00:50.000 And right.

02:00:50.000 It's an addiction.

02:00:50.000 It's dangerous.

02:00:52.000 People then become extremists on social media advocating for violence, bro.

02:00:56.000 Social media is, is, is diseasing people's brains is a horrible thing.

02:00:59.000 But it's also a career.

02:01:01.000 So, I mean, it's, it's how you use a dangerous tool.

02:01:03.000 Are we diseasing people's brains right now?

02:01:05.000 I don't think so.

02:01:05.000 I didn't say every single person on social media and every element of it.

02:01:08.000 Yeah.

02:01:09.000 But social media as a system does disease some people's brains.

02:01:13.000 Can.

02:01:13.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:01:13.000 No, no, not can.

02:01:14.000 It literally does.

02:01:14.000 Well, I was gonna say can disease someone.

02:01:16.000 Does disease some also.

02:01:18.000 People are getting surgery to look like Instagram filters.

02:01:21.000 Dude, it's crazy.

02:01:21.000 I was gonna bring that up earlier, actually.

02:01:22.000 It's making people go nuts.

02:01:23.000 It's sad.

02:01:24.000 Right.

02:01:25.000 The point I'm saying is there are a lot of things you can do to trigger a dopamine release to make you feel good and the simplest and easiest thing anyone can do is go for a walk.

02:01:36.000 I used to hang out with Bill Auden when we were building mines and I was playing video games.

02:01:40.000 He's like, I was like, don't you play video games?

02:01:41.000 He's like, this is my video game, dude.

02:01:43.000 And he was like coding mine.

02:01:45.000 Of course it's way better.

02:01:47.000 Going for a walk is where you start.

02:01:49.000 And then finding local events.

02:01:51.000 That's why I love going to skate parks, skateboarding.

02:01:53.000 Because you instantly have a shared community.

02:01:56.000 You know, I can guarantee you, I can show up at a skate park and I can have a conversation with anyone.

02:02:00.000 What was the last time you rolled up on a skate park?

02:02:03.000 Just like you?

02:02:04.000 A month and a half ago.

02:02:06.000 Did you have any moment of chill time just being Tim?

02:02:10.000 What do you mean?

02:02:11.000 Did people recognize you?

02:02:12.000 No. 0.94

02:02:13.000 I went to a skate park and we rode around and it was silly and the ground sucked.

02:02:16.000 And no one recognized you.

02:02:17.000 No, they were like 13, 14 years old.

02:02:20.000 That's crazy.

02:02:21.000 I'm very few older people.

02:02:22.000 I got kids, man.

02:02:23.000 I go, I go out to dinner in DC and the waitress recognizes me.

02:02:27.000 And as I'm leaving, she comes out, isn't 13 years old.

02:02:30.000 True.

02:02:31.000 I'm at a skate park.

02:02:32.000 Oh, 13 year old kids, mostly kids.

02:02:34.000 The adults are now working or doing whatever they're doing.

02:02:36.000 People quit skateboarding.

02:02:37.000 And there's a reason why it's been a month and a half since I've gone back to a skate park.

02:02:40.000 Cause I also work granted.

02:02:41.000 We have a skate park here.

02:02:42.000 So it's, you know.

02:02:43.000 Three of them.

02:02:44.000 Two of them.

02:02:45.000 You know, but I know, I know this, and this is why skateboarding is so great.

02:02:50.000 You go to a skate park, you will meet people, and you can instantly have a conversation and a community, share ideas, and encourage each other, clap and cheer for each other, and it's always there.

02:03:01.000 Now, with COVID and everything, it's kind of been getting pretty bad.

02:03:04.000 You know, people haven't really been going out, but if you get the chance, well, we do gotta read some more Super Chats, so.

02:03:09.000 We got Oliver Morland says, Hey gang, greetings from Minnesota.

02:03:13.000 We have blue cities, but every other county in the state is red.

02:03:18.000 Rocks and Cows is holding a King Waltz protest during his speech this Sunday.

02:03:23.000 The hatred towards him and the state is insane, but well deserved.

02:03:26.000 There's a cultural split between cities and outside of cities.

02:03:31.000 I was reading a study that said even in red states, cities are blue.

02:03:35.000 It's the weirdest thing.

02:03:36.000 I went to a small town in a red state and they had Black Lives Matter flags everywhere.

02:03:41.000 You go a mile out, Trump flags everywhere.

02:03:43.000 I'm like, that's weird.

02:03:44.000 Why is that?

02:03:45.000 The city was only a few thousand people, but for some reason it turned blue.

02:03:49.000 It's weird.

02:03:51.000 Tyler B says truck drivers are in super high demand.

02:03:54.000 Companies pay like $3,000 to $4,000 cost for training them to make $40,000 your first year.

02:03:59.000 I'm four years in, $74,000, and debt-free at $28,000.

02:04:02.000 It's a matter of wanting it bad enough.

02:04:04.000 No excuses.

02:04:05.000 Be a truck driver for no out-of-pocket.

02:04:08.000 Dude, that was always, that's always like a tempting job, man.

02:04:11.000 Road trips?

02:04:12.000 My brother did that for like two plus years or something.

02:04:14.000 I'm sure at a certain point you're just driving and it's a job, but I love road trips, man.

02:04:19.000 You're on the road, you're stopping at the rest stop, you get to see little knickknacks they got, you get to meet people, talk about stuff, you got the radio playing.

02:04:25.000 Road trips are fun, man.

02:04:26.000 Trucking sounds like a fun job.

02:04:27.000 Alright, we got Pavi Meris says, It's a fun job until you're away from your family for four days at a time, then when you come back you want to sleep for three days.

02:04:36.000 Yeah.

02:04:36.000 Maybe it's a young man's game.

02:04:38.000 That's why.

02:04:38.000 Why do you think it pays well relative to the training and education required?

02:04:42.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:04:43.000 Cause it sucks. 0.99

02:04:45.000 It's hard work. 0.98

02:04:46.000 I don't know.

02:04:46.000 I mean, he said he wanted it.

02:04:47.000 You have to pay men to be away from their family.

02:04:50.000 That's true.

02:04:50.000 That's the thing.

02:04:51.000 A lot of the things that you say are based on your perspective and it's of single and not, and not having a family.

02:04:58.000 Cause I just would never, the thought would just never crossed my mind that like being away from my kids for a week at a time would be a good idea under any condition.

02:05:05.000 Yeah.

02:05:06.000 But what about your significant other?

02:05:07.000 Yeah, same.

02:05:08.000 I don't want to be away from her either.

02:05:10.000 Come with me, babe.

02:05:11.000 Yeah, you bring her with.

02:05:12.000 So there you go.

02:05:13.000 No, but as a trucker, you can't do that.

02:05:15.000 I'm saying she travels with me now.

02:05:17.000 I mean, maybe it could, right?

02:05:18.000 Nice.

02:05:18.000 Yeah.

02:05:19.000 All right.

02:05:20.000 We got Pavi Maris says, Indian guy in Portland here. 0.99

02:05:23.000 You guys definitely are a silly people with all the contemporary BS in the culture war. 0.99

02:05:27.000 And it's the low T people, women mainly who are the mouthpieces for the BS. 1.00

02:05:32.000 Well, there you go.

02:05:34.000 What do they do in India? 0.80

02:05:35.000 Sweeping generalization.

02:05:36.000 Yeah.

02:05:37.000 Right. 0.80

02:05:37.000 Women are generally low T. I guess you're right. 0.80

02:05:40.000 I know. 0.97

02:05:41.000 That's not an insult.

02:05:41.000 That's just, well, I guess that's, that's, that's essentialism.

02:05:44.000 The opposite is an insult.

02:05:47.000 Josiah Manown says, I agree, Tim.

02:05:51.000 We need to make our own games again.

02:05:52.000 I want Twisted Metal again.

02:05:54.000 But if the big devs make it, it will be woke like Twisted Metal 3 and completely miss the point of why we loved that game.

02:06:00.000 Twisted Metal was awesome.

02:06:02.000 Yeah, I love that game.

02:06:02.000 Shadow?

02:06:03.000 That was the gray car?

02:06:05.000 Was it?

02:06:05.000 Yeah, he's great.

02:06:06.000 Warthog?

02:06:07.000 Are they gonna remake Leisure Suit Larry?

02:06:09.000 What was that?

02:06:10.000 That was like a point-and-click game, like kind of like King's Quest. 0.99

02:06:13.000 But you were this dude who was like this sex addict with like a suit. 0.76

02:06:16.000 It was basically one step up from Oregon Trail. 0.99

02:06:19.000 Hey! 0.99

02:06:21.000 And it was about trying to be like a ladies man. 0.99

02:06:24.000 There was, when you were younger, you thought that there was going to be like boobs in it or porn in it, something. 0.97

02:06:31.000 When there wasn't porn all over the place and you're 14, just the notion of being able to see a breast was like super exciting. 0.89

02:06:37.000 We got a video game coming out.

02:06:39.000 Yeah, we got a video game.

02:06:40.000 It's pretty hot.

02:06:41.000 I haven't been talking about it.

02:06:42.000 Do you want to talk about it?

02:06:44.000 Not too much, maybe a little bit, but I'm wondering, is there a timetable on when we think it might be?

02:06:49.000 Six months to eight months.

02:06:50.000 Really?

02:06:50.000 At the rate we're going, yeah.

02:06:52.000 We could probably speed that up if we wanted to.

02:06:54.000 It's a culture war themed rogue-like game that's going to be fun and hilarious, and it only uses cartoon violence.

02:07:00.000 And I guess, I'll just say this, I don't know if I'm supposed to, but Freedom Tunes is doing the cartoon work, so it's literally going to be like a Freedom Tunes video game.

02:07:07.000 It's very cool.

02:07:08.000 Yeah, we're trying to make it really fun and funny and it's going to be cartoon violence because video games always have some element like Mario smashes turtles by crushing them and like, you know, kicking them.

02:07:19.000 But we're going to have more silly like big rubber mallets and like punching gloves and stuff like that.

02:07:24.000 Bone arrow that shoots like plungers. 0.57

02:07:26.000 Yeah, plungers and stuff.

02:07:27.000 But it's a roguelike game, so it's like, you know, you're a little guy, it's a platformer, sort of, and you're, like, making your way... I don't want to give away too much information, but it's Freedom Tunes.

02:07:36.000 You've seen Freedom Tunes.

02:07:38.000 And then many more.

02:07:39.000 That's one of my favorite things to do, is to create video games.

02:07:41.000 Sorry to cut... Yeah, no, I think we should make, like, we should... We want to open source it, and we want to have it so that people can develop their own items and mods and things like that.

02:07:50.000 There's going to be, like, items and combos and it's going to be a really fun game.

02:07:53.000 You know, I've got this vision of the future of video games that, like, when you log in to your PlayStation network or whatever, your team, whatever we want to call it, you have, like, an avatar.

02:08:01.000 And then when you play a game, anything you do in that game gets you abilities that go back to your account that you can take to other games that you play.

02:08:09.000 I'll stop you right there.

02:08:10.000 I had an idea.

02:08:10.000 I was talking with Nishra about this, I think.

02:08:13.000 Where you have a general accomplishments app on your phone with a character that you level up, get new weapons, and you can do minigames or whatever, but you level up the character by 5,000 steps, you earn 100 experience points.

02:08:29.000 So certain things that you can do and you can track on your phone, like travel five miles, not just even walking, like go out of your house and go drive somewhere, even if it's in your car by yourself for a drive.

02:08:39.000 And then what happens is it tracks it, and then your character levels up, and it's actually just a personal thing.

02:08:44.000 And that could unlock abilities and items in the video games that are... No, mine was just like how you make a really awesome character, you can show off and generate this little thing, and every day you get 5,000 steps, like something happens.

02:08:56.000 Just an idea.

02:08:59.000 Alright, we gotta read a super chat here.

02:09:00.000 We got Wandering Mage who says, I need to change.

02:09:03.000 I'm leaving behind my old hobbies, video games, MTG, etc.

02:09:07.000 I'm reinventing myself, getting back into reading, studying philosophy, working out, reading my Bible.

02:09:12.000 I think I might try scuba diving.

02:09:13.000 Why not, right?

02:09:14.000 Absolutely.

02:09:15.000 Yeah. 0.57

02:09:16.000 I think Magic the Gathering went nuts, the power creep is insane, and it's just a ridiculous game now, which is a bummer.

02:09:22.000 I guess you need different formats to make the game work better.

02:09:24.000 I want to scuba dive off the Malaysian coast, Southeast Asia, where that flood took out the Mu people. 1.00

02:09:30.000 Apparently that was the ancient culture that rivaled Atlantis.

02:09:36.000 All right, a bunch of superchats come in.

02:09:38.000 William, hey Tim, check out Project Appleseed Rifle Marksmanship Clinics.

02:09:47.000 Two days of instruction along with history of battles of Lexington and Concord.

02:09:50.000 Hey, that's cool.

02:09:51.000 They have Appleseed all over the country.

02:09:53.000 You can go and do a marksmanship course and compare with your buddies all across the country.

02:09:58.000 Right on.

02:09:59.000 There was a big super chat.

02:10:00.000 Where did that one go?

02:10:01.000 Because YouTube jumps and then it skips over all of them.

02:10:04.000 A lot of talk about Star Trek from very smart people, that's right.

02:10:07.000 Meridian Forest says, Hey Tim, Air Force service member here.

02:10:10.000 Getting promoted tomorrow to E4, so I thought I'd share a little bit of my paycheck with you.

02:10:13.000 Love your content, love what you're doing, keep up the good work, and tell Ian he's a valued and respected man on the show.

02:10:19.000 Dude, I was- Amen!

02:10:20.000 Congratulations on the promotion, man.

02:10:22.000 And I was going to say that even if you didn't mention my name, but thank you.

02:10:25.000 Amen to that, Ian.

02:10:26.000 Thanks, Jack.

02:10:28.000 I love when you're here.

02:10:28.000 People come to my channel to talk to me about you and my comments.

02:10:32.000 I should come on your show someday.

02:10:33.000 You should.

02:10:34.000 And then we can just have at it with the commenters.

02:10:36.000 Oh, finally. Let's see. Okay. Just right.

02:10:44.000 I'm reading through some super chats here.

02:10:50.000 Roberto Flores says, Star Trek, the original series, episode, patterns of force.

02:10:55.000 They drug and prop up the Fuhrer to speak on TV, but he's manipulated by the Nazi party to say what they want, like how Biden is propped up. 0.81

02:11:04.000 I'm not the biggest fan of the original series, but I'm a fan of the original series.

02:11:10.000 The Next Generation, I've seen every episode numerous times.

02:11:12.000 Were you big on the first series?

02:11:14.000 I watched them.

02:11:15.000 You know, I'm not that old, bro.

02:11:17.000 You're a little bit older than me.

02:11:18.000 But by the time that, you know, I would come home from school, there'd be a couple reruns on.

02:11:22.000 I've seen a lot of them, I think.

02:11:24.000 Alright, Troy Dunham says, Tim, Jack, Ian, thank you.

02:11:27.000 This is the discussion we need.

02:11:28.000 You asked where it is?

02:11:29.000 It's here.

02:11:30.000 We love our culture, and we're finding it here.

02:11:32.000 Thanks.

02:11:33.000 Tonight's episode is what we can't find anywhere.

02:11:35.000 Tired of hearing about AOC.

02:11:37.000 Right on.

02:11:37.000 That's the other thing, too.

02:11:38.000 It's like, I've tried to make sure that, like, my references to her have avoided the stupid petty garbage, because I definitely played that game before. 0.95

02:11:45.000 Now I'm trying to be like, I only want to say nice things about people when I get the opportunity to do it. 0.98

02:11:49.000 If they do something dumb, I'll criticize them.

02:11:50.000 But AOC did that thing in taxes with millions of dollars, helped people out. 0.97

02:11:53.000 That's rad.

02:11:54.000 Yeah.

02:11:54.000 Deserves credit for that.

02:11:55.000 I don't want to, I don't want to just, you know, it goes a long way to positive reinforcement.

02:12:00.000 That's right.

02:12:01.000 I want all the politicians to go into, like, a help-the-poor-off.

02:12:04.000 Like, you know, Ted Cruz versus AOC, who can help more poor people and, like, make their communities better.

02:12:09.000 Aha! 0.94

02:12:09.000 That would be great. 0.94

02:12:11.000 That would actually be really hilarious.

02:12:12.000 Like, Ted Cruz uses standard conservative values to try and improve the lives of the people in his community.

02:12:16.000 AOC uses progressive values, and then we, like, we give them a score based on how well they've done.

02:12:21.000 Like, has employment gone up?

02:12:22.000 And then, you know what I mean.

02:12:23.000 I mean, isn't the basic difference teaching a man to fish or give a man to fish?

02:12:27.000 Don't we know how that turns out?

02:12:28.000 Look, I think if people's lives are improving, let's roll with it.

02:12:32.000 You know what I mean?

02:12:32.000 And make it a positive thing.

02:12:33.000 Which, you know, maybe it won't.

02:12:35.000 Maybe some ideas are bad ideas.

02:12:36.000 We'll see what happens.

02:12:37.000 Teaching a man to fish that's not starving is nice.

02:12:42.000 Well, here's the way I put it.

02:12:43.000 They say if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day.

02:12:47.000 If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for the rest of his life.

02:12:50.000 Assuming he has a fishing pole.

02:12:53.000 Oh, you've thought deep.

02:12:54.000 So my thing is, I'm not going to give a man a fish. 0.97

02:12:59.000 I'm going to teach him how to fish, give him a fishing pole, and say, now you're on your own.

02:13:03.000 Show him where the water is.

02:13:04.000 Right.

02:13:05.000 So there's a mix.

02:13:05.000 And then make him drink.

02:13:07.000 And then stand behind him and drink the water.

02:13:09.000 All right, here we go.

02:13:11.000 Rachel Knight Online says, hi Tim.

02:13:12.000 As long as we're mixing our metaphors.

02:13:16.000 Hi Tim, big fan from El Paso.

02:13:18.000 Beto O'Rourke is the man who did nothing for our district when he was our congressman.

02:13:22.000 Lost in his senate bid, embarrassingly lost in his presidential bid, and is now looking to run for governor.

02:13:28.000 What are your thoughts?

02:13:30.000 Your federal congressperson does not represent, does not improve your district.

02:13:34.000 They represent your district at the federal government.

02:13:37.000 So if the roads are dirty and everything's all messed up, you gotta vote locally.

02:13:40.000 I also think Beto O'Rourke is not a good politician.

02:13:44.000 I want to keep the language light.

02:13:46.000 Maybe in private I'll say some worse things about him and some other individuals, but I'm not a fan of Beto.

02:13:52.000 I think he's duplicitous.

02:13:54.000 He said he wanted to take everyone's guns.

02:13:56.000 I don't know.

02:13:57.000 He doesn't like them.

02:13:57.000 Yeah, I'm not a fan.

02:13:58.000 He seems like an Obama clown. 0.99

02:13:59.000 He talks like Obama. 0.99

02:14:01.000 I'll give him respect for actually being able to stand on a skateboard.

02:14:03.000 But let me tell you something.

02:14:05.000 Probably a cool dude.

02:14:05.000 Somebody who's been skating most of their life, when you see someone jump on a board, you know if they will be able to actually perform on a skateboard.

02:14:12.000 Beto O'Rourke can stand on a board and ride it.

02:14:15.000 Fine, he gets some respect for that.

02:14:16.000 But I can tell the dude couldn't do a trick to save his own life.

02:14:21.000 There you go.

02:14:21.000 Temple will call you out.

02:14:22.000 That's right.

02:14:23.000 Beto can't turn tricks.

02:14:26.000 All right, Trevor Farrell.

02:14:26.000 We'll do a couple more here.

02:14:28.000 He says, Hey, you guys are awesome and listening to Jack is always a treat.

02:14:31.000 Keep your chin up and keep up the good in the, uh, keep up the good, the good, the fight.

02:14:35.000 Thank you.

02:14:35.000 Appreciate it.

02:14:37.000 All right.

02:14:37.000 Last one.

02:14:37.000 Mitch Devine says 25 year old army vet here looking at a hundred, 200 acre ranch and taking a distilling class to open my own distillery here in Texas.

02:14:47.000 Right on.

02:14:47.000 You know what?

02:14:48.000 Here's what we're going to do.

02:14:51.000 We're going to talk about politics a little bit, but I want to talk about what everyone is calling the Biden CGI video because I'm going to surprise everybody.

02:14:57.000 I'm going to debunk it.
