Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Someone SABOTAGED Our Gorilla Shirt To FRAME US, It's War

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:28.000 happy friday ladies and gentlemen We do the show, obviously, at night, so for those listening tomorrow, it's Friday.

00:00:38.000 And I'm gonna do intros really quick, because I'm gonna jump right into the story.

00:00:42.000 My friends, we are under attack!

00:00:44.000 Someone is trying to sabotage the Gorilla, and I will not stand for it.

00:00:47.000 So let me just quickly announce, we got Lucret Kowski hanging out.

00:00:49.000 Now, Levatos, what happened?

00:00:51.000 What?

00:00:56.000 Is that all you're going to say?

00:00:58.000 Okay, okay.

00:00:59.000 We got Ian, he's chilling.

00:01:00.000 Yeah, it's just us tonight and Lydia pressing the buttons.

00:01:03.000 Yeah, I'm over here in the corner.

00:01:05.000 I'm outraged, my friends.

00:01:06.000 We're just going to jump straight into this one because this one is more personal.

00:01:09.000 And we got a lot of news.

00:01:10.000 We got a lot of news.

00:01:11.000 You know, Joe Biden is... Marjorie Taylor Greene filed impeachment against him.

00:01:15.000 We'll talk about this stuff.

00:01:16.000 We'll talk about a lot of stuff.

00:01:17.000 We got the QAnon shaman is mad at Trump. 0.65

00:01:19.000 He wanted a pardon.

00:01:20.000 COVID mandatory vaccines for all employees of United.

00:01:22.000 Trust me, we've got news.

00:01:24.000 But this time it's personal.

00:01:26.000 My friends, if you go to TimCast.com, okay?

00:01:30.000 We have a new website set up where you can become a member and help support the show.

00:01:34.000 And we're trying really hard to make that a bigger part of the show for several reasons.

00:01:39.000 It allows us to speak freely without fear of getting banned from YouTube because it's our own website.

00:01:44.000 And it helps support us outside of these ridiculous ad sales and rules and all that stuff.

00:01:48.000 Now, please go there, become a member if you want to support the show, but I bring this up because we also have an area called Shop.

00:01:54.000 And when you go to Shop, you can purchase this ever-so-lovely I Am A Gorilla t-shirt.

00:01:58.000 Trust me, this is part of the story and you're gonna want to hear this.

00:02:01.000 The gorilla t-shirt is a joke. 0.99

00:02:03.000 When Alex Jones was on the show, he kept saying, I am a gorilla, kill yourself. 0.89

00:02:07.000 Well, we didn't like that. 0.97

00:02:08.000 Why?

00:02:09.000 Well, because it's based on this book called Ishmael, where this like, what is it, Ian, a spirit gorilla?

00:02:14.000 This guy was like seeking the meaning of life.

00:02:16.000 He finds this gorilla who has telepathic powers and talks to him telepathically.

00:02:20.000 Okay, like Gorilla Grodd from DC, I guess.

00:02:22.000 I don't know.

00:02:23.000 He's a villain.

00:02:24.000 He's basically, what, telling people that they're like a virus?

00:02:26.000 Well yeah, he's explaining that humans have kind of ended up becoming too much of takers in the world and we're kind of destroying the planet now instead of how we're supposed to live symbiotically with it.

00:02:36.000 Okay, okay.

00:02:37.000 So Ian ended up saying, I am a gorilla, love yourself.

00:02:42.000 And so we thought that was funny.

00:02:43.000 People in the chat kept saying, I'm a gorilla and posting gorilla emojis.

00:02:46.000 And I liked the idea of focusing on getting back to nature, you know, being responsible for yourself.

00:02:51.000 Cause you know, when we had Jack Murphy here, I mentioned what Ishmael was kind of about.

00:02:55.000 And when I said, it's, you know, get back to nature and, you know, get in the wilderness, maybe chop some lumber.

00:02:58.000 Jack's like, that sounds pretty good.

00:02:59.000 You know what I mean?

00:03:00.000 And so I'm like, let's make a positive thing.

00:03:02.000 I don't do political shirts.

00:03:03.000 Luke does political shirts.

00:03:05.000 Look at the shirt he's wearing right now.

00:03:06.000 Well, I get my shirt censored, but that's a whole nother story that we got to get into in a little bit.

00:03:11.000 But Luke's got political shirts.

00:03:12.000 It's Orwell saying, boy, did I call it or what?

00:03:15.000 It's a great shirt.

00:03:16.000 Well, the Tim Guest IRL shirts are not political and on purpose.

00:03:20.000 We have one where it says, silence accelerates victory.

00:03:23.000 It's the old slogan from the U.S.

00:03:24.000 Office of Censorship.

00:03:25.000 It's about as political as we get.

00:03:27.000 And it's the pyramid, you know, with the all-seeing eye being toppled over.

00:03:30.000 That was for IRL, right?

00:03:31.000 Yes, that was something I made a while ago as just like, I thought it was cool, it's like the censorship being knocked over, we'll win.

00:03:37.000 That's about as political as we get, because we have a cat, we've got me with a pipe with bubbles coming out of it, and shirts with beanies on them!

00:03:42.000 That's right, you buy a shirt, it's got a beanie on it.

00:03:44.000 So when we made the I Am A Gorilla shirt, I put TimCast IRL on it, and it's meant to just be a silly thing for the fans, people listen to the show, no strong message.

00:03:53.000 I'm about to show you an image.

00:03:54.000 Most of you probably have already seen me tweet about it, because when I saw this, I was just like, I facepalmed.

00:03:59.000 I'll admit, you know, I'm a pretty chill person, so I was laughing, but I was like, still kind of worried at this.

00:04:06.000 Someone ordered this shirt, one of the first shirts to go out, and this is what happened.

00:04:12.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the sabotage of the I Am A Gorilla shirt.

00:04:17.000 I am offended.

00:04:18.000 The I Am A Gorilla meme was supposed to be fun and silly and family-friendly, and it is just a drawing of a silly cartoon gorilla sitting there like, yeah, I'm a gorilla.

00:04:26.000 It doesn't mean anything.

00:04:28.000 Well, here's the image I got.

00:04:29.000 On the left, you can see the original artwork.

00:04:31.000 On the right, you can see what was delivered to someone who ordered the shirt.

00:04:35.000 For those that are listening, I said, yo, Teespring, you wanna tell me why our cartoon gorilla shirt became an effing blackface drawing? 0.81

00:04:42.000 How is this an accident?

00:04:43.000 His hands were printed white, and his face was darkened.

00:04:46.000 This is the crazy thing about it.

00:04:48.000 A lot of people have suggested that this was some kind of printing error.

00:04:52.000 It wasn't.

00:04:53.000 Now, the first thing I want to say, I've talked with Teespring, and they're working on figuring out what happened, and it is definitely on their end, but not through their main company.

00:05:02.000 What they told me is that they believe this came from a third party that they outsourced to, and look, I respect Teespring.

00:05:10.000 I like them.

00:05:10.000 I've sold shirts with them for a long time, and I have no issues with them, so I respect.

00:05:14.000 They called me, and they were really apologetic, and they were like, We really want to get to the bottom of this.

00:05:18.000 We don't like being called racists.

00:05:19.000 And I was like, I don't want people walking around with TimCast IRL branding and this ridiculous image.

00:05:25.000 Let me explain something.

00:05:26.000 This is a picture of what looks like some... It looks like a minstrel costume because the fists were changed to be white.

00:05:35.000 The face is blackened, but you can see where the black on the face is.

00:05:39.000 It doesn't reach all the way to the end of the face.

00:05:42.000 Kind of like blackface. 0.85

00:05:44.000 So some people said it was a printing error.

00:05:46.000 I don't know how that would be a printing error because you can see that there are certain colors that appear in certain areas and on other areas.

00:05:52.000 How did they accidentally make the fists white and accidentally then make the face darker?

00:05:57.000 Not only that, the color of shirt is gray.

00:06:00.000 I don't off- we don't offer that in the Teespring store.

00:06:03.000 It seems like somebody Purposefully altered the image and printed it on a shirt.

00:06:09.000 Maybe!

00:06:09.000 I don't know what happened.

00:06:11.000 Maybe someone thought it was a joke, and they printed it out for their friends, and then it accidentally got shipped out?

00:06:16.000 Or maybe someone intentionally wanted people to be walking around with a shirt that says Timcast IRL on it, and depicts what looks like blackface saying, I'm a gorilla. 0.51

00:06:25.000 So, look, I ain't all that mad, okay?

00:06:28.000 We all kind of laughed and were like, what are you gonna do about it? 0.97

00:06:31.000 You know, it's ridiculous.

00:06:33.000 But the indignation you hear is because I think someone did it on purpose, and I don't think they did it because it was fun or funny. 0.76

00:06:39.000 I think they did it because it would seriously hurt us.

00:06:42.000 So when I saw this image get sent out, My initial reaction was, if this person didn't tell me, and I didn't know, and they didn't think of it, how long would it take until Media Matters or some leftist organization started saying that Tim Pool sells blackface shirts or whatever?

00:06:57.000 It would probably take 10 seconds.

00:06:58.000 So I immediately tweeted, nah, none of that.

00:07:00.000 You're not doing that on me.

00:07:01.000 Not me.

00:07:02.000 So then, because of that, some people started photoshopping it and trying to sell it on other stores because you can't get any more.

00:07:08.000 So, I will tell you this.

00:07:11.000 I talked to Teespring, and they said it's not gonna happen again.

00:07:16.000 And I was like, cool.

00:07:17.000 But a lot of people may have ordered it, and it may have already been sent out.

00:07:21.000 So there may be 1,000 of these shirts circulating around with altered art, and I had no idea.

00:07:28.000 Maybe they didn't all come from the same printing facility, but...

00:07:32.000 Look, I'm trying to be nice to Teespring.

00:07:34.000 You know, I understand they're a business.

00:07:37.000 I understand they're scared of the accusations and cancel culture and all that stuff as well.

00:07:41.000 But let me just, you know, make a few more points and then we'll point out what they've done with Luke's shirts.

00:07:46.000 And that suggests that, well, I don't want to abandon, you know, Teespring over what a rogue employee may have done.

00:07:52.000 But I take issue with that.

00:07:54.000 And I definitely think there's quality control issues.

00:07:56.000 Because a few questions.

00:07:57.000 Let's say it was an accident.

00:07:59.000 Let's say it was a mistake.

00:08:00.000 How did someone look at that and say, looks like the design the person ordered, let's send it to them?

00:08:04.000 They didn't even stop and say, yeah, that's definitely not the art it's supposed to be.

00:08:08.000 They sent out a clearly defective shirt.

00:08:11.000 But come on, the darkened face and the white hands?

00:08:15.000 This was done on purpose, in my opinion.

00:08:18.000 So, look.

00:08:19.000 I try to be careful.

00:08:21.000 And I can understand the people who run Teespring are probably freaking out.

00:08:24.000 And I feel bad for them.

00:08:24.000 I do.

00:08:25.000 Because they didn't do this.

00:08:26.000 Somebody did.

00:08:27.000 Somebody at the company, or through the company, did somehow.

00:08:30.000 And so I just try to be nice and try to give people the benefit of the doubt.

00:08:33.000 But I think moving forward, for at least the TimCast.com store and for members, we'll probably print our own shirts and sell them manually.

00:08:41.000 Because then we can guarantee this doesn't happen.

00:08:44.000 Now, that being said, I'm sure there are a lot of people who actually really want one of these now because misprints end up becoming valuable or popular, and, look, all that matters to me is I said, I don't condone what the person did with this art, and I'm not gonna, you know, risk me getting cancelled by someone trying to accuse me of doing something.

00:09:01.000 If you find it funny, you know, so be it, whatever, they're sold, and a lot of people are probably gonna get them.

00:09:05.000 Um, I don't think you can get them now if you tried to order, but if you just want the regular one, which was supposed to just be silly, and a lot of people are like, it's a dumb shirt, what's the point?

00:09:13.000 I'm like, it's not supposed to be anything special.

00:09:15.000 It's just, you watch the show, you like it, I'm a gorilla.

00:09:17.000 Have fun.

00:09:18.000 Now, Luke has his own encounters because they just took down your shirts like the other day, didn't they?

00:09:23.000 Well, they took down 10 shirts.

00:09:25.000 But like yesterday, right?

00:09:26.000 Yesterday, the shirt I was wearing, they took down after the broadcast.

00:09:30.000 And I'm like, wait, what?

00:09:31.000 I mean, the shirt that I was wearing, the one that said, that had the NPC saying, don't spread fake news because the mainstream media hates competition and all the mainstream media, they took that one down.

00:09:42.000 And I'm like, hey, what's going on here?

00:09:43.000 I have a puppy to feed.

00:09:45.000 I'm finally back on my feet.

00:09:46.000 I'm finally doing well.

00:09:48.000 I don't work for anyone.

00:09:49.000 I volunteer.

00:09:50.000 YouTube took away my demonetization.

00:09:52.000 And now, out of everything, here come these alleged snitches. 0.99

00:09:56.000 And now they're taking away the main kind of income that I have.

00:10:00.000 And I'm like, wait, what's going on here?

00:10:01.000 I reached out to them.

00:10:03.000 The shirt you were wearing said, don't distribute fake news, the mainstream media will do it for you.

00:10:08.000 Yeah.

00:10:09.000 Why would they take that down?

00:10:10.000 Why would they remove that?

00:10:11.000 Exactly.

00:10:11.000 And they took down a lot of other stuff and they haven't been honest.

00:10:14.000 But, you know, being, you know, Polish, being very hardheaded and stubborn, I'm still going to keep moving forward. 1.00

00:10:21.000 And even if I have to draw these shirts myself and ship them out to the people, I still will do that because A lot of people have been telling me, I love these shirts, they help spread the conversation, I love talking to random people, people stop me in the middle of the streets to talk about, you know, the information, the larger kind of message that you're getting out there.

00:10:40.000 So, I mean, I'm very happy that I bought thebestpoliticalshirts.com, that specific domain, because now I'm just going to use it, and whatever shirts they took down, you know, I'm talking to them, hopefully they will bring it back, but if they don't, I'm still looking for third parties.

00:10:55.000 I'm gonna find a third party to work with, and then all the shirts that were ever banned... I found out yesterday there was 10 products banned.

00:11:03.000 10.

00:11:03.000 I didn't even know about this.

00:11:05.000 The emails are going to the spam box, and I was wondering, I was like, my storage looks kind of skinny there, so I'm very dissatisfied.

00:11:12.000 There's a lot of services like Teespring and look, they just texted me and they said, you know, we're so sorry about this.

00:11:19.000 We're going to work on it.

00:11:19.000 We're going to figure out what the problem was and follow up with you.

00:11:21.000 And I respect that.

00:11:22.000 I do.

00:11:22.000 I try to be nice.

00:11:24.000 And, um, I'm sure there's probably a lot of people that are laughing at how egregious this was and knowing that it's not intended to actually, you know, insult anybody or actually be racist.

00:11:35.000 I'm sure a lot of people would like to have that shirt.

00:11:37.000 Now, that being said, Teespring, like I said, they're not gonna allow any more of these to go out, and they're gonna monitor them.

00:11:43.000 But considering some of the censorship we've seen from Teespring, I'll keep using them because they're integrated with YouTube.

00:11:51.000 They actually are pretty good service.

00:11:52.000 I know a lot of people aren't the biggest fans of their shirts, but Luke mentioned that these shirts actually have been, you know, pretty good for a long time.

00:11:57.000 Like, they last a while.

00:11:59.000 But that being said, we're gonna have to take the reins into our own hands if Luke can't criticize the mainstream media.

00:12:05.000 Like, come on.

00:12:06.000 You can't criticize the press?

00:12:08.000 Well, maybe it's that you had their logos on the show.

00:12:10.000 Well, they also took down my logo.

00:12:12.000 So I had merchandise with my own original We Are Change logos on there.

00:12:17.000 And they took that one down as well.

00:12:19.000 That's a good point.

00:12:19.000 I respect that.

00:12:20.000 Yeah, I think that might be it.

00:12:22.000 But satire and fair use is allowed.

00:12:24.000 Yeah, you can drink a Pepsi on this show and get ad revenue for it.

00:12:27.000 But Luke was making fun of them.

00:12:29.000 Yeah, as long as it's satirical, it's allowed.

00:12:32.000 As long as it's Creative Commons, it's allowed.

00:12:35.000 It was a new creation, clearly mocking the brand, and in no way sought to monetize off of those companies.

00:12:40.000 Yeah, if I took the CNN logo and was just selling the CNN logo, then yes, you can make that argument.

00:12:46.000 I stole their intellectual property, but not when you have, you know, 25 other media organizations being like, can I put like, it's so sure this is Nintendo, but like I'm pouring a cup of water on it.

00:12:56.000 Yes, you can.

00:12:57.000 Really?

00:12:57.000 Yep.

00:12:57.000 Because you've edited it, you've changed it somehow.

00:12:59.000 Yes.

00:13:00.000 So the question of copyright infringement is, are you infringing on their market?

00:13:05.000 So a famous story with Sargon of Akkad, Carl Benjamin, Lotus Eaters podcast, I always give a shout out to Carl.

00:13:11.000 And he took a video on YouTube from a left-wing commentator, and then he took two cuts of it, just straight like cut and cut, and then titled it, I think it was SJW Levels of Awareness.

00:13:24.000 She sued him saying, oh, you just stole my content.

00:13:27.000 And a bunch of people were like, yeah, dude, Carl, like you did, you're going to lose.

00:13:31.000 And he's like, no, I'm not.

00:13:31.000 I'm right.

00:13:32.000 It's fair use.

00:13:33.000 He won.

00:13:34.000 Not only did he win, he won fees as well.

00:13:36.000 She had to pay him on top because you're allowed to criticize other people and produce a new product and monetize it if it's in the process of criticizing, mocking, satirizing.

00:13:47.000 The big question when it comes to the court is, are you infringing on their market?

00:13:51.000 So like Luke said, if you just sell shirts that say CNN, then you're taking money away from CNN, who sells the same shirts.

00:13:57.000 But if it says CNN and then sucks under it, CNN doesn't sell those shirts and CNN's fans wouldn't buy them anyway.

00:14:02.000 So you can do that. 0.67

00:14:03.000 Yeah, we made a CNN logo that transformed into a toilet.

00:14:09.000 And I think they took that one down as well, and I'm like, what's going on here?

00:14:14.000 And it's not just copyright.

00:14:17.000 It's also our logos, our own independent art.

00:14:20.000 They took down a whole bunch of other stuff, claimed it was copyright, but there is no possible way in the world that that could be true and then we countered them on it

00:14:29.000 and this happened a couple months ago and they still never responded to me.

00:14:32.000 So I'm taking this very seriously.

00:14:34.000 I'm very happy I have this new domain name because I'm gonna be using it.

00:14:37.000 I'm gonna make my own store.

00:14:38.000 Maybe I'll use them, maybe I'll not.

00:14:41.000 We'll see if you guys respond to me.

00:14:42.000 But just keep checking in on thebestpoliticalshirts.com because if you want that shirt that I had on yesterday,

00:14:48.000 I'm working to make sure you have it one way or another.

00:14:51.000 Even if I don't get any profit, a lot of people want that shirt.

00:14:53.000 I'm gonna make sure you guys have it.

00:14:55.000 I got an idea. For the I am a gorilla shirt, we'll just make one where he's holding a rainbow flag.

00:14:59.000 That's it.

00:15:00.000 So he's got his fists, let's just put a rainbow flag there and like, hey, we're cool.

00:15:02.000 Or like a rainbow Chinese finger trap.

00:15:04.000 He's like in it.

00:15:06.000 Teespring takes like 85%, right?

00:15:07.000 No, like 50 or so.

00:15:08.000 Oh, that's not bad.

00:15:09.000 Cause they do 98% of the labor.

00:15:12.000 Right, they take the order, they ship it out, they make it, and all that stuff.

00:15:15.000 We were talking last night while we were on Twitch, Adam and I, about doing t-shirts here, because I think this conversation came up, but the consensus was it's just a lot of work to ship, especially the shipping.

00:15:26.000 Yeah, but so if we do the limited edition stuff, like the tinfoil hat version, I'm gonna get those made by a local small business, and then we're gonna physically have them, and we can sign them, and then do a limited run members only.

00:15:37.000 And then I think for the shop we have on TimCast.com, I might just have to, like, maintain full control over this.

00:15:43.000 You know, look, misprints are fun.

00:15:46.000 Like, we play Magic.

00:15:47.000 You know, for those that aren't familiar with, like, card games like Magic the Gathering, you get a miscut or a misprint, they can be worth way more money.

00:15:53.000 This is probably the craziest thing to, like, look, that's why I think it's on purpose.

00:15:59.000 The fact that they say, oh, you know, maybe it was a mistake.

00:16:02.000 I'm like, come on.

00:16:03.000 There's too many things that had to go wrong for this to be a mistake.

00:16:07.000 The wrong color shirt we don't sell.

00:16:09.000 The hands were accidentally made white instead of black and the face was darkened.

00:16:13.000 So play devil's advocate.

00:16:14.000 Maybe because the shirt was a different color, the ink didn't print right on it, but the hands are white.

00:16:20.000 Instead of black. 1.00

00:16:20.000 That doesn't make sense. 1.00

00:16:21.000 It's like there's no ink where the hands are.

00:16:23.000 No, there is.

00:16:23.000 There is ink.

00:16:24.000 It's white ink.

00:16:25.000 Yeah.

00:16:25.000 Yeah, it's wild.

00:16:26.000 It's light.

00:16:26.000 It's like a teal shirt.

00:16:28.000 Right?

00:16:28.000 No, no, it's a gray shirt.

00:16:30.000 It's the gray speckled, whatever it's called.

00:16:31.000 Heather.

00:16:32.000 It's called Heather. 0.93

00:16:33.000 So what I noticed about this was that the mouth was a different shape.

00:16:36.000 So I really think they just... No, I don't think so.

00:16:37.000 I think you're wrong.

00:16:38.000 Tim thinks I'm wrong.

00:16:39.000 Yeah, you're wrong.

00:16:39.000 It's the same... I think that somebody else went in there and they're like, I'm gonna change this.

00:16:43.000 Why would they change the vector of the mouth?

00:16:45.000 I have no idea.

00:16:45.000 They don't even have the vector image.

00:16:46.000 They have a PNG. 1.00

00:16:47.000 Why did they make it look like blackface?

00:16:49.000 So, changing colors is easy.

00:16:51.000 Changing vectorized shapes is not.

00:16:53.000 They whitened a lot of black spots, but not the outline of the guy.

00:16:56.000 It stayed black.

00:16:58.000 I saw how it was designed.

00:16:59.000 So the designer sent me an image of all the layers and, like, broke it down, and there is no way that could have been an accident.

00:17:04.000 So the ears are white.

00:17:05.000 Why are the ears white?

00:17:06.000 Yeah, I know.

00:17:07.000 The nose is white, too.

00:17:08.000 Is that a throwback to blackface? 0.79

00:17:10.000 Someone said maybe it was inverted accidentally.

00:17:12.000 Yeah, that's kind of what it looks like.

00:17:13.000 But look at his forearms.

00:17:14.000 The forearms are the same colors.

00:17:16.000 Um, who did the printing?

00:17:18.000 Did they tell you?

00:17:18.000 Their third party?

00:17:19.000 They just, so at first they told me that it was actually a totally different company that was ripping it off.

00:17:26.000 And they sent me a link and I looked at it and at first I was like, oh, whoa, is that what happened?

00:17:31.000 But the person who bought the shirt is the designer.

00:17:35.000 And so I just asked the designer, did you buy the shirt?

00:17:37.000 Yes.

00:17:37.000 Here's the receipt.

00:17:38.000 Do you have the packaging?

00:17:39.000 Yes.

00:17:39.000 Here's the packaging.

00:17:40.000 Okay.

00:17:41.000 Well, that's shady that they told you it was someone else.

00:17:43.000 No, I think they may have thought that was the case.

00:17:45.000 What actually happened was when I tweeted about it, someone took a photo, like photoshopped it out and then made a version, but the font they used was different.

00:17:52.000 And so I told them immediately, I was like, look, I was like, I got the package, I got the receipt, the font is different.

00:17:58.000 And they were like, well, can you verify?

00:18:01.000 And I was like, I'm not going to accuse one of the people who contracts the designs for me of lying to me.

00:18:06.000 Like, we've gotten art from them before.

00:18:08.000 It's been fantastic.

00:18:09.000 I thought it was a great shirt.

00:18:10.000 There's no way.

00:18:13.000 I don't even sell that color of shirt on my Teespring store.

00:18:15.000 And so they were like, you know, we're looking into it.

00:18:18.000 We have a task force on this.

00:18:19.000 They were freaking out.

00:18:20.000 They said, like, the whole country woke up.

00:18:21.000 You know, like, everybody's... I tweeted, like, dude.

00:18:24.000 This is not on me.

00:18:25.000 I'm not taking heat for this one.

00:18:26.000 That's on you, man.

00:18:27.000 Cancel culture is going crazy right now.

00:18:29.000 And I'll tell you, maybe I'm a little paranoid, but they're looking for any and every reason to ban people.

00:18:34.000 Dude, I think you did a really good thing by tweeting it out immediately.

00:18:37.000 As soon as I saw it.

00:18:39.000 Because they're looking for reasons to ban people.

00:18:41.000 We already had Media Matters claim that we were pushing fake news in some video because Jack Murphy said that Donald Trump said something.

00:18:50.000 He's like, Donald Trump was talking about this, that, and this.

00:18:52.000 And so they were like, they're pushing lies!

00:18:54.000 And then they lied.

00:18:56.000 Media Matters said the ads have been roofed.

00:18:57.000 They weren't.

00:18:58.000 But you know what happens is, I asked them for a retraction twice and they've ignored me.

00:19:03.000 What happens is, Media Matters will put out a story saying, these channels broke the rules.

00:19:07.000 And then they'll start sharing that article to try and get in Wikipedia, trying to get other outlets to write about it.

00:19:11.000 Tim Pool, who's known for breaking the rules, blah, blah, blah, when it never happened.

00:19:15.000 And so now I have to closely monitor this stuff because if we actually sustain damages and these lies become pervasive... What's this Media Matters thing?

00:19:21.000 I haven't heard of it before.

00:19:22.000 They wrote an article claiming that on one of our videos, one of our segments, Jack Murphy said that Donald Trump was speaking and gave examples of voter fraud, like out-of-state voters and things like that.

00:19:33.000 Giving an example of what voter fraud is, is not us asserting that widespread voter fraud caused anything to happen.

00:19:40.000 And so they claimed we were pushing lies.

00:19:43.000 They also referenced an incoherent super chat that I read that you couldn't really understand, and then said because of it, YouTube took our ads away.

00:19:50.000 That's Not true.

00:19:52.000 Who runs Media Matters?

00:19:53.000 It's a bunch of activists.

00:19:54.000 But what happens is they create that narrative and then other leftists who read that will be like, oh, Tim, they said the ads were removed on the video.

00:20:02.000 And they said, oh, the ads got removed.

00:20:04.000 Tim Pool's was penalized by YouTube.

00:20:06.000 And they'll try and create the narrative that YouTube is punishing.

00:20:08.000 No, YouTube did not.

00:20:10.000 The podcast was fully monetized.

00:20:12.000 And as of right now, the video is fully monetized.

00:20:15.000 How did they know that?

00:20:15.000 So I don't know.

00:20:17.000 Well, I think someone at YouTube probably told them that.

00:20:20.000 And whatever their point is, I asked them to retract it and they didn't.

00:20:23.000 Can you toss me some of that collagen?

00:20:25.000 This is not collagen.

00:20:26.000 That's the MCT?

00:20:27.000 Yeah.

00:20:27.000 I'm gonna put it in my coffee.

00:20:28.000 Do it.

00:20:29.000 Thanks, dawg.

00:20:30.000 Free cycling.

00:20:31.000 We're not plugging these guys tonight, but I'm putting some MCT oil in my coffee.

00:20:35.000 Well, because we actually just eat this stuff.

00:20:36.000 Because it's amazing.

00:20:37.000 Anyway, look.

00:20:39.000 The point is, when it comes to this I am a gorilla thing, I don't know who did it or why.

00:20:44.000 I don't care.

00:20:46.000 I'm not taking heat for somebody walking around wearing that shirt and then them being like, ooh, look at the shirts he's selling.

00:20:52.000 All it takes is like one dummy to wear it at one really bad rally with a really bad sign and you're labeled with it.

00:21:00.000 So we've seen a kind of transition and a trend online that's really worrying where you have to be responsible for every comment, you have to be responsible for every viewer, you have to be responsible for Discord.

00:21:12.000 who consume your content now, which is absolutely insane.

00:21:13.000 Yeah.

00:21:15.000 And it's impossible. And it's selectively enforced because they could say, look who's watching your

00:21:20.000 channels. This is why you don't have a discourse. I don't have a discourse because people

00:21:25.000 could just go on there and they could false flag it with a whole bunch of crazy

00:21:29.000 messages and say, look, this is your people.

00:21:32.000 Look what your people do.

00:21:33.000 And I remember a couple years ago them trying to do this on me and it backfired with just salacious, insane text of individuals blaming one race of people.

00:21:43.000 And I'm like, wait, wait, this doesn't represent me.

00:21:45.000 I'll tell you, I'll tell you something funny.

00:21:46.000 I had a discord for a while and I got rid of it because we kept getting raided.

00:21:49.000 You know, people would come in and try and break the rules. 0.92

00:21:52.000 You agree to the rules and they would come in and they would post insane garbage. 0.95

00:21:55.000 And I'm like, dude, I'm not dealing with this. 0.90

00:21:56.000 The moderators couldn't deal with it.

00:21:58.000 But what happened was this left-wing group, I actually know one of the founders, it's called Unicorn Riot, had archived the entire Discord and took a segment of me talking where I was criticizing Vox.com for publishing white nationalist propaganda, and they cut out the parts where I was saying, how could Vox say these things, this is ridiculous, Vox is being so racist, and then just took the parts where I literally quoted the Vox article to criticize it and claimed I said it.

00:22:24.000 Yeah, that's what these people do.

00:22:25.000 I liked Unicorn Riot.

00:22:27.000 Yep, and I know one of the founders, and I've known him for a long time.

00:22:29.000 Why did they do that?

00:22:30.000 Because these people are zealots, they're authoritarians, and they believe that they're morally justified in evil because the end result for them is good.

00:22:41.000 Wow.

00:22:42.000 So they took me literally saying, hey guys, look at Vox promoting white nationalism. 1.00

00:22:46.000 These people are disgusting. 0.98

00:22:48.000 And then clipped out my criticism and tried to make it seem like I was the one. 0.98

00:22:51.000 So what happened was Vox.com had a psychologist, a doctor, write an article where he literally claimed that Vox.com claimed in an op-ed from a psychologist that Jewish people, according to Vox, inherit genetically, and this is what Vox said, their materialism.

00:23:11.000 And I said, that's insane.

00:23:13.000 Oh, that seems insane.

00:23:14.000 And you see how I had to break it up to avoid the out-of-context polling.

00:23:16.000 That's what they'll do.

00:23:17.000 And don't worry, they'll still chop it up.

00:23:19.000 So I'm like, I think that... Inherit's a weird word because you inherit money from your parents.

00:23:22.000 Well, inherit is the genetic... Genetic inheritance is a little different.

00:23:25.000 So I said, here's what the doctor said.

00:23:28.000 Oh my god, that is insane.

00:23:30.000 And they took out all of my critique and just took the quote from the doctor and claimed the quote from the doctor

00:23:35.000 was from me I'm not a PhD researcher who writes for Fox. Sorry guys,

00:23:38.000 but they knew my name was next to it They posted a screenshot. Look what Tim pool said and it

00:23:43.000 works Yeah

00:23:44.000 It's crazy that we're living in a world where the mainstream media is literally paying people to watch

00:23:49.000 Everything we say and it's at a point where they can't even critique us

00:23:53.000 So they invent things to critique us on.

00:23:56.000 I remember people being like, look at your followers.

00:23:59.000 Look at what your followers are saying.

00:24:00.000 Look what the comment section of your YouTube channel you're saying.

00:24:02.000 And I'm like, I'm responsible for that now.

00:24:05.000 They're like, yes, you are a hundred percent.

00:24:07.000 Literally, you look like you have something to say.

00:24:08.000 So Luke, do you think this is maybe because they're making these things publishers?

00:24:13.000 They're not platforms anymore.

00:24:14.000 You are responsible for everything that happens there.

00:24:17.000 Like, do you think that's part of it?

00:24:18.000 Well, that's another argument about Section 230 that everyone's talking about.

00:24:23.000 But before we even go there, we have to understand these are institutions, the mainstream media, that told us that there was weapons of mass destruction, that told us that bankers deserve bailouts in 2008, that told us the air was safe to breathe on 9-11.

00:24:35.000 They have zero to little accountability at all for their grotesque lies that lead to tremendous human suffering.

00:24:43.000 But yet, We have to be criticized for comments on our YouTube videos?

00:24:49.000 Well, it's obvious.

00:24:49.000 Are you kidding me?

00:24:50.000 It's obvious, dude.

00:24:51.000 What did the Babylon Bee say?

00:24:53.000 They put out a joke.

00:24:54.000 So I don't know if you guys heard the story that the National Guard was forced to sleep in a parking garage with no bathroom.

00:24:59.000 With one bathroom and only two stalls.

00:25:00.000 With 5,000 soldiers.

00:25:02.000 5,000 soldiers.

00:25:03.000 One power outlet.

00:25:04.000 And a parking lot, yes.

00:25:05.000 And so the Babylon Bee said, Joe Biden asks National Guard to be patient until he can send them to Iraq.

00:25:11.000 Well, they sleep in parking garage until you can send them to Iraq. 1.00

00:25:13.000 So the reason I bring that up is there's a reason why they'll do everything in their power to get us taken down.

00:25:18.000 Now if we play by the rules and we don't violate community standards or whatever, it's really difficult.

00:25:24.000 Sometimes they take down channels arbitrarily, hoping they can get away with it.

00:25:28.000 And then when there's a backlash, they put it back up.

00:25:31.000 The mainstream media and the establishment elites want to be able to yell that we need war and lie about weapons of mass destruction to get us into war, and they don't like it when independent media challenges that narrative.

00:25:42.000 Or chemical weapons attacks in Syria, which after further investigation was found out to be absolutely lied about by the establishment and the mainstream media and all, of course, these neoconservatives and the State Department and Department of Defense.

00:25:55.000 But you can even go back to the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

00:25:57.000 Yes.

00:25:57.000 What got us involved in Vietnam, widely believed, I got, you know, still be careful.

00:26:02.000 It was just, it never happened.

00:26:03.000 They claimed the US was attacked.

00:26:05.000 It wasn't.

00:26:06.000 They needed pretext for getting us involved in Vietnam.

00:26:08.000 So when we can pull up the actual research, and I'm not talking about conspiracy theories.

00:26:11.000 I'm talking about you just Google search the Gulf of Tonkin and read Wikipedia.

00:26:14.000 Wikipedia says all of this.

00:26:16.000 It's easier when the New York Times can say they're weapons of mass destruction.

00:26:20.000 It is harder when there are channels like this going, can you prove it?

00:26:24.000 Before you commit our troops to death, can you prove it?

00:26:26.000 Even then, hold on, hold on.

00:26:27.000 I just want to make a point before going right to you, Ian.

00:26:29.000 There was even whistleblowers.

00:26:31.000 There was people within our government during that entire phase screaming like, hey, There is no evidence at all that there's weapons of mass destruction.

00:26:40.000 There was voices.

00:26:41.000 I remember being at one of the largest demonstrations ever in American history in Washington, D.C.

00:26:47.000 hearing from whistleblowers within our government warning us that this was a lie.

00:26:51.000 They were all ignored by the mainstream media.

00:26:53.000 The internet was still coming up.

00:26:54.000 That's how I heard of it.

00:26:55.000 That's why there was a large demonstration and yet still we went forward with this. 0.99

00:26:58.000 It's ridiculous.

00:26:59.000 Sorry, Ian.

00:27:00.000 Go ahead.

00:27:00.000 Golf of Tonkin was a conspiracy.

00:27:03.000 By the government.

00:27:04.000 They conspired to produce this fallacious thing.

00:27:08.000 So there are government conspiracies.

00:27:10.000 I mean, they admitted, yes, we conspired.

00:27:14.000 It didn't actually happen.

00:27:15.000 I don't think they admitted.

00:27:16.000 I think it was journalists.

00:27:18.000 uh... out daniel ellsberg did he come out in the pentagon papers was it

00:27:21.000 revealed it may have been actually

00:27:23.000 i'm not entirely sure was the u s s maddox incident and international confrontation led to the in in uh...

00:27:29.000 direct engagement in vietnam it involved both a proven confrontation on august second

00:27:34.000 and an unlikely confrontation on august fourth so that's why i've tried to be careful because you know you

00:27:39.000 know the pd about that we were told over and over and over again

00:27:42.000 what you know that's we have been attacked and we had to go we had to go

00:27:45.000 And now, you know, decades later, they say we don't even know if it happened at all.

00:27:51.000 So what do they specifically say?

00:27:53.000 There were no U.S.

00:27:53.000 casualties.

00:27:54.000 It was originally claimed by the NSA that a second Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred on August 4th as another sea battle.

00:28:00.000 But instead, evidence was found of Tonkin ghosts, false radar images, and not actual North Vietnamese torpedo boats.

00:28:06.000 In the 2003 documentary, The Fog of War, the former United States Secretary of Defense, Robert S. McNamara, admitted that the August 2nd USS Maddox attack happened with no Defense Department response, but the August 4th Gulf of Tonkin attack never happened.

00:28:20.000 The NSA claimed it did, and then they admitted in 2003!

00:28:22.000 Well, it was a former, former guy, wasn't he?

00:28:26.000 He said he was out of the military.

00:28:27.000 Former, yeah, Robert McNamara.

00:28:29.000 Was he the...

00:28:31.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:28:32.000 He did something else.

00:28:32.000 His name's familiar.

00:28:33.000 Sometimes I wish I was 80 years old.

00:28:35.000 But yeah, in 2003.

00:28:36.000 Yeah, it never happened.

00:28:37.000 Never happened.

00:28:38.000 Dude, they conspired.

00:28:39.000 Government conspiracy.

00:28:40.000 And we have to understand, what led to that?

00:28:42.000 What were the larger consequences of that?

00:28:44.000 Let me just still be reasonable, I guess.

00:28:46.000 Or they're just really bad at what they do.

00:28:49.000 They're wrong.

00:28:49.000 That's always a possibility.

00:28:51.000 It is.

00:28:51.000 And, you know, Hanlon's razor, never attribute to malice that which can be explained through incompetence.

00:28:56.000 Or Lyndon Johnson really wanted us into Vietnam.

00:28:58.000 A lot of people wanted to say because they were afraid of the rusher and his secret war in cambodia and laos

00:29:04.000 I mean when you look at the atrocities that were committed in our name

00:29:07.000 Because of that single incident especially in vietnam the millions of people affected

00:29:13.000 the millions of people still affected by agent orange and the chemical warfare that was 0.97

00:29:17.000 Launched on the vietnamese people on innocent bystanders Holy freaking cow! 1.00

00:29:21.000 The American young men who were drafted to go and fight in that and then spent lives with with injuries With you know permanent disabilities and all of that stuff coming back watching their friends die That was that was some sick stuff that we got. 0.51

00:29:35.000 It's like we barely hear some of what those guys have gone through like to be overrun to be in a in a hole at night in the middle of the night waking up every two hours and For what?

00:29:48.000 To stop the spread of communism in Vietnam?

00:29:50.000 Well, those are little proxy wars.

00:29:52.000 To stop the spread of communism in Vietnam.

00:29:54.000 Maybe, or maybe it was a financial thing.

00:29:56.000 It was Kissinger's limited war.

00:29:57.000 We didn't want war with Russia.

00:29:58.000 We didn't want to bomb Moscow, so we were going to fight them in Vietnam. 0.97

00:30:01.000 Those are little proxy wars.

00:30:03.000 Those proxy wars are still continuing.

00:30:05.000 They were supposedly based on ideologies, communism versus capitalism.

00:30:09.000 In reality, it was empires vying for power.

00:30:11.000 It's exactly what's happening right now in Syria, in Yemen, what happened in Libya, what happened in Iraq, what happened in Afghanistan.

00:30:19.000 All of that are powers vying for more power, vying for geopolitical hegemony and control.

00:30:27.000 Let's roll with this.

00:30:27.000 trade routes but important national resources which of course they're doing anything and

00:30:31.000 everything for including sacrificing the lives of your sons of your daughters of your children

00:30:37.000 for profit.

00:30:38.000 Let's let's let's let's roll with this.

00:30:40.000 You know you guys know the Berlin Wall is.

00:30:41.000 Yeah.

00:30:42.000 So we'll talk about the Cold War and the US versus Russia and Vietnam.

00:30:46.000 But you guys listening to this you're gonna love it.

00:30:48.000 Do you know what it was called in East Germany?

00:30:51.000 It was called the Anti-Fascist Rampart.

00:30:54.000 The Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart.

00:30:57.000 The Berlin Wall.

00:30:59.000 I saw a photo, someone posted on Twitter, of people carrying just two bags running full speed.

00:31:04.000 Because that was when they announced they were going to be erecting the Berlin Wall.

00:31:09.000 And people ran desperately to get to East Germany, because, I'm sorry, West Germany, not to East Germany, to West Germany because they realized what was about to happen.

00:31:18.000 And then someone posted a photo of the first person to die at the anti-fascist protection rampart.

00:31:25.000 It's really funny about the anti-fascist protection rampart is that people, they weren't protecting anybody.

00:31:31.000 The wall wasn't protecting East Germany.

00:31:34.000 It was keeping the people in like a prison.

00:31:37.000 And the first person to die was trying to escape.

00:31:39.000 I read one story about a dude who, like, took a hot air balloon over it or whatever.

00:31:42.000 Oh, wow.

00:31:43.000 People were so desperate to get out of that place.

00:31:45.000 Look, I can understand why the U.S.

00:31:46.000 was so adamant about fighting Russia— I'm sorry, the Soviet Union on so many fronts, because you hear stories like this.

00:31:52.000 But I want to make sure we remind everybody, just read about this.

00:31:55.000 GDR authorities officially refer to the Berlin Wall as the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart.

00:32:00.000 In German, the Antifaschister Schutzwall.

00:32:05.000 Brilliant.

00:32:05.000 So the Antifa rampart.

00:32:07.000 And so now you have people in this country going around claiming that they're Antifa and they're the heroes and the protectors and the saviors, when in reality, could you imagine, like, everything this country went through to stop this narrative, this line of anti-fascist, the Soviets, the Berlin Wall, that we fought a cold war, you know, whatever that means by fighting it.

00:32:28.000 And there were several times where we nearly annihilated the entire planet.

00:32:32.000 You guys know that story about the guy in the submarine?

00:32:34.000 The Russian guy? 0.97

00:32:35.000 The Russian guy.

00:32:35.000 And then they got a notification, like an alert, that the US had fired nukes and he refused to retaliate.

00:32:41.000 And it was a false alarm.

00:32:42.000 We were on the brink of something truly catastrophic.

00:32:46.000 And what we're seeing now with Antifa is insidious.

00:32:49.000 And it's getting mainstream support.

00:32:52.000 We'll see.

00:32:53.000 Now they're kind of getting banned and stuff and getting struck down.

00:32:56.000 His name was Vasily Alexandrovich Arkhipov.

00:33:00.000 And he was a Soviet Navy officer.

00:33:03.000 Yeah, he's attributed to saving the world.

00:33:06.000 Russian submarine guy, and you'll find him on Google.

00:33:08.000 He refused.

00:33:11.000 He was misinformed and told to fire.

00:33:13.000 Well, there was a technical error and there was a warning saying Russia is under attack.

00:33:18.000 You have to follow protocol.

00:33:20.000 Protocol means launching an attack back.

00:33:22.000 Launch an attack back.

00:33:23.000 Now all of his higher commanding officers told him to do it.

00:33:28.000 He refused to.

00:33:29.000 He's like, that doesn't feel right.

00:33:31.000 Yes.

00:33:32.000 And then luckily he made the right decision because we would have been in, according to the official version of events that we're hearing, in an absolute nuclear war that would have devastated and we probably wouldn't be here now if that was the case.

00:33:44.000 Because, I mean, we're talking about thousands of nuclear weapons between Russia and the United States.

00:33:50.000 They openly test them in the desert in the United States and we're talking about You know weapons that will bring us back to the Stone Age

00:33:58.000 and now these are the same weapons Yeah, these are the weapons that now Joe Biden has that is

00:34:03.000 fragile Quivering well shaking fingertips. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not

00:34:09.000 super worried about this idea this, you know Oh, no now, you know Trump's got the nukes

00:34:13.000 Now Biden's got the nukes.

00:34:14.000 It's just too much power in my opinion.

00:34:16.000 I don't care if it's Biden.

00:34:17.000 I don't care if it's Trump.

00:34:18.000 That's way too much.

00:34:19.000 You have a button that could wipe out the entire world 10 times over and also other planets.

00:34:26.000 That's too much power for one person to have.

00:34:28.000 I was thinking we'll look back on humans and be like, that was the time when they still had one guy leading all of them like a slave driver.

00:34:35.000 They had a governor leading.

00:34:36.000 We had that one guy would control them all.

00:34:38.000 That was so crazy.

00:34:38.000 That's an overstatement.

00:34:39.000 Like, Joe Biden has power, but... But then we have governors, and then we have mayors.

00:34:43.000 Like, we have this system where we give all the power to one person, where then they get to control all of us.

00:34:49.000 It's very weird.

00:34:51.000 The guys in black suits really have the power, but... But, I mean, we have three branches, and every state has three branches.

00:34:57.000 Well, the governor has massive power, though.

00:34:59.000 And the courts can overrule him, and the legislatures can overrule it.

00:35:02.000 But should they have to?

00:35:03.000 Yeah, they should!

00:35:05.000 Should that system be in place, where one guy can do crazy stuff all the time, and then...

00:35:09.000 We have to have all these groups in courts? 0.65

00:35:11.000 Yes.

00:35:11.000 Do you think that the system requires an individual to have that?

00:35:14.000 Yes.

00:35:14.000 Why?

00:35:15.000 Because direct democracy failed every time it was tried, and anarchic societies collapsed every time it was tried.

00:35:20.000 I wouldn't assume the only other option is direct democracy, though.

00:35:23.000 What's the other option?

00:35:24.000 Direct republicism.

00:35:26.000 The reason we have three branches is because in a system with distributed decision-making, you can't respond to threats fast enough.

00:35:33.000 That's kind of where I hit the wall, the threat.

00:35:35.000 Like, the military threat.

00:35:36.000 What do you do when there's a military threat?

00:35:38.000 You have to have one commander.

00:35:40.000 But maybe the commander-in-chief shouldn't be the president.

00:35:43.000 No, I think it makes perfect sense.

00:35:44.000 Well, now, guys... He only runs the executive branch, meaning he can tell the DEA not to arrest people for pot.

00:35:50.000 He can't change the law, though, so the courts can still overrule his executive orders.

00:35:55.000 I think it was a brilliant system.

00:35:56.000 The problem is, over time, too much power is being coalesced in the executive branch, and that's why there was a light at the end of the tunnel for the Trump administration.

00:36:04.000 He forced the federal government to attack the executive branch like crazy.

00:36:09.000 Yeah, our system's not perfect, but it's, you know, getting almost there.

00:36:12.000 It's pretty good.

00:36:13.000 It's pretty legitimate if it's actually run the way it's supposed to be and not by special interests and lobbyists and guys with black suits with special interests.

00:36:20.000 to see him back in the presidency.

00:36:41.000 So now the bombs that are going to be dropping inside of the Middle East, they're going to be very woke bombs, you know, filled with LGBTQ slogans and everything's great, guys.

00:36:51.000 I got one better for you.

00:36:53.000 That may be, Luke, but the good news is From News 9 ABC, Rep Green files articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden.

00:37:03.000 And is that her?

00:37:04.000 She's wearing a mask that says Trump won.

00:37:06.000 And that's really it.

00:37:07.000 She's citing Burisma and the Ukraine scandal.

00:37:10.000 And I believe she mentions Russia and China and the Bidens enriching their family.

00:37:14.000 You know, I talked a bit about this earlier today, and I'm not sure I'm all that interested in the point of it, because a lot of people don't know this.

00:37:23.000 The Democrats actually filed for impeachment of Trump several times.

00:37:26.000 In December of 2017, they introduced articles of impeachment that got 58 votes.

00:37:30.000 It was shot down by almost everybody, but they really were trying to impeach Trump before he did anything.

00:37:37.000 I don't see the point of this.

00:37:39.000 I mean, maybe it sends a message.

00:37:41.000 If you're going to accuse Trump of doing something, we'll then impeach you for the same thing.

00:37:45.000 And when you strike it down, it proves the double standard.

00:37:48.000 Maybe that's the reason.

00:37:49.000 If it is, I just say this, like, we know there's a double standard.

00:37:52.000 It's not a compliment or anything.

00:37:52.000 It's so petty.

00:37:53.000 Like, it's like if a kid spits on a kid and then the other kid's like, eh, and then spits on him back.

00:37:58.000 Like, come on.

00:37:59.000 Didn't Jesus teach you anything?

00:38:01.000 Turn the other cheek.

00:38:02.000 Boom.

00:38:02.000 Jinx.

00:38:03.000 You owe me a Coke.

00:38:05.000 I don't see what it would really accomplish.

00:38:08.000 I understand it'll feel good.

00:38:09.000 I'm sure there's a lot of people who are like, yeah, you show them, we'll impeach you back.

00:38:12.000 And I'm sitting here like, I'm looking at a chess board, bro.

00:38:15.000 And when someone like makes a move and you just copy that move, you're not really going to win.

00:38:19.000 I mean, some people do play that.

00:38:21.000 Well, they'll just try and copy their opponent and try and find a weak point or something.

00:38:24.000 But in terms of like actual strategy, you want to be thinking about what they're going to be doing next and not just following behind them.

00:38:30.000 It's symbolic, just like most politics.

00:38:33.000 It's all a horse and pony show.

00:38:35.000 But who knows, maybe the Democrats will take it seriously, will impeach Biden to have the Kamala presidency.

00:38:41.000 Kamala! 0.87

00:38:43.000 Potato, potato! 1.00

00:38:45.000 But obviously this is just people vying for attention, vying for media clicks.

00:38:49.000 And it's getting clicks, we're talking about it.

00:38:51.000 And again, it's not really going to achieve anything.

00:38:54.000 She's going to be on the show one day and you're going to have to call her Kamala. 0.96

00:39:00.000 I think the thing is that's a problem.

00:39:04.000 A lot of these people are cool in person, but the system is so psychotic.

00:39:08.000 I don't think Kamala is cool in person.

00:39:09.000 I think most people are pretty cool.

00:39:11.000 Obviously everyone's got their issues, but when you get them one-on-one, most people are pretty much the same.

00:39:19.000 She's a careerist.

00:39:21.000 She'll do anything to make sure her career gets progressed.

00:39:25.000 And Luke means it because everybody knows her history.

00:39:28.000 Yes, and we don't want to get into... You know her history?

00:39:31.000 I know a little bit of it.

00:39:32.000 Yeah, tell me.

00:39:33.000 Well, she was in a very affectionate relationship with Mayor Willie Brown, right?

00:39:38.000 Yes, that's correct.

00:39:39.000 Yeah, he actually talked about getting...

00:39:45.000 Tell the kids.

00:39:45.000 Family-friendly show!

00:39:46.000 Explain to the children what he did.

00:39:48.000 Let's just say there was an explanation of some unfamily-friendly things that helped Kamala Harris, you know, move forward with her career. 0.99

00:39:54.000 But they say that she, like, slept her way to the top.

00:39:56.000 Yes, correct.

00:39:56.000 Well, to start.

00:39:58.000 I've heard that.

00:39:58.000 And I know that she kept people in prison in California that were just to make the company profit.

00:40:05.000 Can you tell me about that?

00:40:05.000 Well, to make them fight fires for a dollar an hour.

00:40:08.000 So a lot of people don't realize this.

00:40:09.000 Kamala Harris was accused by Tulsi Gabbard and many others of keeping people in prison longer than they should have been in exchange to use them for cheap labor. 0.97

00:40:19.000 There's two things they don't realize.

00:40:21.000 First, they weren't supposed to be released.

00:40:24.000 They had parole opportunities.

00:40:25.000 And Kamala Harris was like, nah, don't let them go.

00:40:27.000 Why?

00:40:28.000 We need people to fight fires for free.

00:40:31.000 Look, if you want to tell somebody we're going to make you, you know, clean the road or make shoes or license plates, that's using them for cheap labor.

00:40:38.000 Telling them we're going to keep you in prison and then make you risk your lives in a wildfire is slavery.

00:40:44.000 Was it like confirmed that she specifically denied parole because she wanted them to stay or did she deny them parole and then it was convenient?

00:40:52.000 What was to further her career because as a prosecutor if she got losses if she got her victories overturned she didn't look as successful as she would against all the other prosecutors who had more convictions than her more successful cases and this is the kind of psychotic. 1.00

00:41:07.000 You know nature of American prosecutors believing that they always have to win regardless.

00:41:15.000 if the person who's being convicted is innocent or not innocent.

00:41:18.000 That's just crazy to think of, that this is incentivized in a way where people really pay the ultimate price with their freedom, with their life, over someone's career.

00:41:29.000 And sadly, a lot of people choose career over doing the right thing.

00:41:33.000 And a lot of those people are rewarded.

00:41:36.000 And Kamala was rewarded.

00:41:37.000 It's way too many people who would do it.

00:41:39.000 Way too many people.

00:41:40.000 So I see some of the same thing where we are like, okay, it's the short term.

00:41:44.000 You probably shouldn't do the short term thing just to make yourself feel good.

00:41:47.000 I think that Kamala did a lot of the short term thing just to make herself get ahead. 1.00

00:41:51.000 And she's like, this is how I'm going to rise to the top.

00:41:54.000 It's by lying.

00:41:55.000 It's by doing unnice things to unnice people.

00:42:00.000 What does she lie about? 0.97

00:42:02.000 So what she did was she took horrible advantage of the prisoners in California. 0.93

00:42:08.000 She took terrible advantage of them. 0.92

00:42:10.000 She laughed about arresting parents, homeless women, because their kids wouldn't go to school and things like that. 0.99

00:42:16.000 She arrested tons of people on pot charges and then laughed about how she would smoke herself. 1.00

00:42:22.000 She hid evidence.

00:42:23.000 She hid evidence from people that she knew were innocent just to further her career.

00:42:28.000 Yeah.

00:42:29.000 And then she later was like, I'm so sorry that happened.

00:42:31.000 It wasn't my fault.

00:42:32.000 It was a staff member.

00:42:33.000 One of her staff members trade evidence?

00:42:35.000 No, no, no, no.

00:42:35.000 I'm sure.

00:42:36.000 Well, look, if you were to ask me, it was her and she was proud of it up until she realized if you want to run on the Democrat ticket, you need progressives behind you.

00:42:43.000 You got to pretend to at least pander to them.

00:42:45.000 You know what I mean?

00:42:46.000 So she can't come out and be like, I'm all about locking up innocent people. 1.00

00:42:48.000 They wouldn't vote for that.

00:42:50.000 She has to pretend to be on the side of justice. 0.93

00:42:51.000 Well, no one voted.

00:42:52.000 Well, I guess technically they voted for her ticket now. 0.89

00:42:55.000 Yeah.

00:42:55.000 No one voted for her in the primary.

00:42:57.000 No one.

00:42:57.000 Okay.

00:42:58.000 Not no one.

00:43:01.000 I would say probably 25% of people, only 25% of those who voted actually voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

00:43:09.000 Why?

00:43:09.000 Because of all those sweet, beautiful votes that Biden and Kamala got, those were actually votes against Trump.

00:43:14.000 It was the media narrative.

00:43:16.000 It was driving people as hard as possible.

00:43:18.000 It was a tremendous effort, and my respect to the Democrats for pulling this one off, of early voting and mail-in voting and these initiatives.

00:43:23.000 They got past.

00:43:24.000 And you know what?

00:43:25.000 A lot of Republicans actually helped them.

00:43:26.000 And that was the secret.

00:43:28.000 But I would say the overwhelming majority of people who cast a ballot for Biden don't care about Biden, don't like him, don't know what he wants.

00:43:35.000 I'll tell you what's really funny.

00:43:37.000 Someone asked, a journalist asked the press secretary about Joe Biden's stance on abortion.

00:43:41.000 And she goes, Well, I'll tell you.

00:43:44.000 He's a devout Catholic.

00:43:45.000 Thank you.

00:43:46.000 And then everyone's like, oh, she dodged the question.

00:43:49.000 She doesn't want to admit it.

00:43:49.000 And I'm like, no, dude, she doesn't know the answer because Joe Biden didn't campaign on anything.

00:43:54.000 He was sleeping in his basement, hoping people hated Trump enough to vote for him instead.

00:43:58.000 New York was it?

00:43:59.000 Was it New Yorker?

00:43:59.000 They said, uh, stay alive, Joe Biden.

00:44:02.000 We just need your corp.

00:44:03.000 Yeah.

00:44:03.000 The Atlantic stay alive.

00:44:04.000 Joe Biden was the name of the article.

00:44:05.000 We just need your corporeal form. 0.61

00:44:08.000 That's insane.

00:44:09.000 They wanted Kamala Harris to be president and Tulsi Gabbard.

00:44:13.000 She fired off a nuclear bomb, took out Kamala Harris's campaign like that. 1.00

00:44:17.000 It was beautiful.

00:44:18.000 It was fun.

00:44:19.000 It was totally beautiful.

00:44:20.000 Well, they were all bringing themselves down.

00:44:21.000 Kamala went hard after Joe Biden.

00:44:24.000 You know, I can't even mention what she called him. 0.99

00:44:26.000 She's the, you can, she's the first vice president to have stated she believes, I can't say it, it's funny, that she believes Joe Biden is a sexual abuser. 0.97

00:44:36.000 Yes. 0.97

00:44:37.000 Oh, yes.

00:44:38.000 So she was one of the first people to come out and say that.

00:44:40.000 publicly. To answer your question Ian, I met a lot of politicians, I've been around them,

00:44:45.000 especially when I was confronting them, but when you look them in the eyes when you're around them,

00:44:49.000 you feel a certain energy when you meet new people. A lot of them are really dark, empty

00:44:55.000 people that have a very negative vibe to say the least when you're around them.

00:45:00.000 That's just eerily and creepy.

00:45:02.000 Especially individuals like Henry Kissinger.

00:45:03.000 I talked to him about six times.

00:45:06.000 Every time I looked him in the eyes, it's this insane, nasty energy.

00:45:12.000 You know, you talk about energy.

00:45:13.000 A lot of people are just energy.

00:45:14.000 But there is something to say about when you meet someone, you either like them or don't like them right away when you first meet them, based off Either your subconscious, your micro-expressions, or some people say something even deeper, your kind of energetic field that you represent, that you are, your vibe, as some people say.

00:45:32.000 Yeah, like if you you can tell if someone likes themselves or hates themselves when you meet them, and it's subtle, but like, if you get that dark energy, usually because they don't like something about who they are, what they've done.

00:45:42.000 And like, if those people are doing sadistic things, because of the system that they're a part of, then they probably hate themselves deep down or later.

00:45:50.000 How can you not?

00:45:51.000 How can you not?

00:45:52.000 Knowing that there's so many people suffering because of your actions, your consequences, that you could have helped.

00:45:58.000 You could have literally taken people out of jail that were innocent.

00:46:02.000 Save them, but you kept them in there in horrible, unspeakable conditions to further your career.

00:46:09.000 Donald Trump could have done it.

00:46:10.000 Yes, in so many different ways.

00:46:12.000 Yeah, he could have pardoned a lot of people and he didn't do it.

00:46:14.000 Yeah.

00:46:15.000 Yeah, so I've never really had a whole lot of confidence in the system.

00:46:17.000 That's why I never really bothered to vote until this past few months.

00:46:23.000 Donald Trump winning convinced me that voting mattered.

00:46:26.000 So I'm like, wow, they're freaking out.

00:46:29.000 Voting really had an impact.

00:46:30.000 You know?

00:46:31.000 And then he lost.

00:46:32.000 And then, on his way out, he didn't drop the hammer, man.

00:46:36.000 It's a bummer.

00:46:37.000 He did the opposite.

00:46:38.000 He hit himself with the hammer.

00:46:40.000 He beat himself senselessly, and everyone's looking bewilderingly like, what?

00:46:44.000 Why?

00:46:45.000 But first he melted the hammer into the shape of a Q, and then he hit himself with it.

00:46:49.000 Yeah.

00:46:50.000 Well, check this out.

00:46:51.000 From modernhealthcare.com, HHS freezes rule targeting community health centers and drug discounts.

00:46:58.000 Now, that title alone probably doesn't say a whole lot to you.

00:47:00.000 You're probably like, Tim, what is this story?

00:47:02.000 This is a story about, essentially, Joe Biden signing an executive order that reverses Trump's rules to reduce the cost of EpiPens and insulin.

00:47:12.000 Long story short, it would seem that Joe Biden is trying to make insulin and EpiPens more expensive.

00:47:17.000 I'd like to give a round of applause to all the leftists who want universal health care and cheap, low-cost goods for your vote for Joe Biden, which results in the cost of life-saving medications going up.

00:47:27.000 Do you guys remember that story about the guy who was on minimum wage or whatever, and he couldn't afford insulin?

00:47:32.000 So he was, like, not buying enough, and then he died.

00:47:34.000 He was diabetic.

00:47:35.000 No.

00:47:35.000 And people were like, he needed 30... He tried launching a GoFundMe to raise, like, 30 bucks or 50 bucks to buy insulin, and he couldn't do it, and then he died.

00:47:42.000 It's a horrifying story, man.

00:47:43.000 So sad.

00:47:44.000 That's like someone just being silent, please man, I just need my medicine.

00:47:47.000 It made me think of Martin Shkreli, that pharmaceutical rep.

00:47:51.000 Pharma bro, yeah.

00:47:52.000 He jacked the price up on certain drugs.

00:47:53.000 Like 7,000% or something, I don't remember the number exactly.

00:47:56.000 Well, there's also another viral video showing a young mother crying because she can't afford

00:48:01.000 the medicine for her child.

00:48:03.000 And a lot of people are sending this video being like, why isn't this problem being addressed?

00:48:07.000 Why are medical costs so high comparatively to so many other places in the world?

00:48:12.000 It's insane.

00:48:13.000 It's almost criminal in some ways.

00:48:14.000 Some of the arguments are bad, some of the arguments are good.

00:48:17.000 Like when Trump signed the executive order saying, in Canada you can get insulin and EpiPens for dirt, but in the U.S.

00:48:24.000 they're priced so high because of this weird broken system we have.

00:48:27.000 So he signed this executive... I don't know.

00:48:30.000 Let me read this.

00:48:31.000 They say, HHS signed off on a rule in December, shortly before Donald Trump left office.

00:48:36.000 It aims to lower patients' out-of-pocket costs by forcing community clinics to pass their drug discounts.

00:48:41.000 The rule requires federally qualified health centers To give their discounts to the uninsured.

00:48:46.000 It was originally slated to take effect January 22nd, but HHS delayed it until March 22nd.

00:48:50.000 The Biden team could eventually withdraw the rule to prevent it from taking effect at all.

00:48:55.000 So I guess they've, they've, they've put a hold on it.

00:48:57.000 Trump was trying to make sure as people on the left were demanding universal healthcare, notably saying insulin and EpiPens.

00:49:04.000 So Trump was like, I'm going to sign this saying you can get cheaper drugs.

00:49:08.000 Joe Biden's like, nah, you know why?

00:49:10.000 Because the pharmaceutical companies are lining his pocket with gold.

00:49:13.000 It's kind of weird because he was Obama was all about lowering the cost of drugs.

00:49:17.000 He said that.

00:49:18.000 Yeah.

00:49:18.000 At least he did.

00:49:19.000 He said that a lot.

00:49:20.000 It seemed like that was with Obama with a health care plan that Obama said that a lot.

00:49:25.000 But Trump actually cared about the people who actually had to take insulin and epinephrine.

00:49:31.000 Like he actually cared about people who really, really needed this stuff from day to day.

00:49:36.000 Whereas I don't I did not get that vibe from Obama.

00:49:38.000 He always Obama always seemed to cater more to the elites.

00:49:42.000 Trump always seemed to actually care about people who work day-to-day.

00:49:46.000 I don't know, maybe I'm crazy.

00:49:48.000 That was really the vibe I got from Trump, even though he was like a top-tier golden toilet type person, you know what I mean?

00:49:54.000 Yeah, well we have to understand our medical system is utterly corrupt and incentivizing it by throwing a whole bunch of government money at it is not going to solve that problem at all.

00:50:04.000 It's only going to make it worse.

00:50:05.000 It's a corrupt institution that takes advantage of people I mean, I've heard horror stories of individuals going into hospitals and getting bills that, of course, will leave them in debt for the rest of their existence and their children's existence until they say, I don't have insurance.

00:50:19.000 And then their bills are lowered ten times what they were.

00:50:22.000 It happened to me.

00:50:23.000 Yeah, that happened to me.

00:50:24.000 Yeah, it happened to you, it happened to many other people that I know as well, and what kind of system do we have when literally people are preferring to take Ubers rather than ambulances?

00:50:33.000 I did that too!

00:50:33.000 Because ambulances are thousands of dollars!

00:50:35.000 So I was out skating, I'm chilling, and all of a sudden I got an extreme pain, probably the worst pain I've ever felt in my abdomen, and I was like, I fell down to my knees like, Oh, like, it was mind-blowingly painful.

00:50:52.000 And so, it starts to subside a little bit, and I'm like, I don't know what this could be.

00:50:58.000 It could be an appendix rupture.

00:50:59.000 I could be like, I heard when you get appendicitis, you have like, the pain hits and you have very little time.

00:51:04.000 So I called the cab.

00:51:05.000 I called an Uber.

00:51:07.000 Uber pulled up and I went to the hospital and turns out I had a kidney stone.

00:51:10.000 It's extremely painful and it's when, what people don't realize too because they watch too many movies, it's traveling from your kidney through your ureter.

00:51:17.000 So it's like an internal organ thing from your kidney and that's why it hurts.

00:51:21.000 So I went to the hospital, they didn't know what was wrong, they gave me a ridiculous amount of drugs and then it stays for a while.

00:51:28.000 Like I had to go back several days later because I started getting hit by the pain again.

00:51:33.000 And this time they figured it out.

00:51:35.000 I ended up getting a bunch of crazy drugs.

00:51:37.000 And then I got the bill in the mail.

00:51:40.000 And it was, I think, it was like $25,000.

00:51:43.000 Oh my God.

00:51:44.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:51:45.000 Some ridiculously high number.

00:51:46.000 And so I called them and I was like, this can't be right.

00:51:48.000 It was like an overnight stay in the hospital on a prescription.

00:51:51.000 And then I had another overnight stay.

00:51:53.000 And they were like, no, the bill is correct and everything, you know, just give us your insurance.

00:51:57.000 And I was like, I don't have insurance.

00:51:58.000 Because it was the week I had just left Vice and before I joined Fusion, where I lost for like four days insurance.

00:52:06.000 And they went, oh, one second, let us send you the updated bill.

00:52:09.000 And it was like $3,700.

00:52:10.000 So they were like, oh, you don't have insurance, then we're not going to extort your insurance company.

00:52:15.000 What?

00:52:15.000 Who runs that company?

00:52:16.000 Who ran it?

00:52:16.000 They do these deals, but I will say, with respect to Fusion, when I told them what happened,

00:52:21.000 they agreed, you know, they were like, don't worry, man, we'll take care of you.

00:52:24.000 We don't want you to be put out.

00:52:25.000 So they covered the cost for me.

00:52:26.000 Well, that's cool.

00:52:27.000 That was cool.

00:52:28.000 Shout out to Fusion.

00:52:29.000 I mean, while they existed.

00:52:30.000 Who runs that company?

00:52:31.000 Nobody.

00:52:32.000 Gone.

00:52:33.000 Who ran it while you were there?

00:52:34.000 I'm not gonna name any names.

00:52:36.000 Sounds like cool dudes.

00:52:36.000 I know you had a tumultuous time there.

00:52:39.000 It was the president of the company.

00:52:41.000 Cool, man.

00:52:41.000 The president and the CEO.

00:52:42.000 Gotta take care of your employees.

00:52:44.000 I was like, you know, look, I just left Vice and I had insurance.

00:52:48.000 And these four days before I started with you guys, I'm apparently not covered.

00:52:50.000 I didn't realize this.

00:52:51.000 I thought it was gonna transfer over.

00:52:52.000 And they were like, no, no, no, no.

00:52:53.000 You don't worry at all.

00:52:54.000 We got it.

00:52:55.000 We'll take care of you.

00:52:55.000 Anything I need to do, I literally go to Mexico.

00:52:58.000 And they have better service, way better prices.

00:53:01.000 And they take care of you.

00:53:02.000 I mean, I had dental work done in the United States.

00:53:04.000 I had it done in Croatia, Colombia, Poland.

00:53:08.000 Way better service.

00:53:10.000 One-tenth of the cost.

00:53:12.000 And just every... I mean, I remember being in Colombia.

00:53:15.000 Literally.

00:53:16.000 I don't know if I should get into some of the details here.

00:53:19.000 Uh, but frog venom injected into your scars.

00:53:22.000 That was Mexico. 0.89

00:53:23.000 That was Mexico. 0.89

00:53:24.000 That was when I did combo on my YouTube channel.

00:53:27.000 And if you want to see me puke and do other stuff that are pretty interesting, check out combo.

00:53:31.000 What was that like?

00:53:32.000 It was intense and it was absolutely crazy.

00:53:35.000 And yes, you could see that type of stuff on my channel, but In Colombia, they literally had these huge massage chairs.

00:53:42.000 They had a neck pillow.

00:53:44.000 They had collagen lip masks.

00:53:46.000 They had this desensitizer that they put in your mouth to numb your mouth before they do any work that you didn't even feel the needle.

00:53:55.000 It was this new vibration technology.

00:53:58.000 I love it.

00:53:58.000 I was like, OK, we're going to numb you now.

00:54:00.000 They did it.

00:54:01.000 I'm like, when are you going to numb me?

00:54:03.000 And then they're like, we already did.

00:54:04.000 I'm like, what?

00:54:05.000 This is insane.

00:54:06.000 They had a huge television, not on the side, but literally in the ceiling.

00:54:12.000 They gave me a remote.

00:54:12.000 They gave me these proper headphones.

00:54:14.000 They had the most beautiful, gorgeous nurses you could ever imagine walking in. 1.00

00:54:19.000 Oh, hey, senor.

00:54:20.000 Can we help you?

00:54:21.000 Oh, you want something to drink?

00:54:22.000 Whatever you want.

00:54:23.000 They had an open bar.

00:54:25.000 And then one tenth of the cost with work that was absolutely beautifully done in places like Columbia.

00:54:33.000 Is that free market or is that universal system?

00:54:36.000 I paid for it.

00:54:38.000 I forgot exactly the exact system that they have there because I've been doing medical tourism for a number of reasons.

00:54:44.000 Lefty's telling me everybody's got universal health care.

00:54:46.000 So how about that?

00:54:48.000 Is there like insurance companies that will cover you no matter where you go in the world?

00:54:51.000 Well, if it's urgent, yes.

00:54:53.000 But a lot of insurance companies are scams.

00:54:56.000 So I mean, whether it's, you know, the extra insurance you get, there's always little provisions.

00:55:03.000 There's always little things and there's always surprises that kind of catch you.

00:55:06.000 Lydia, you look like you have something to say.

00:55:07.000 So I worked in a hospital for a while and I really started to think.

00:55:10.000 So the first thing that Luke told me when I told him that I was sick, he's like, we're going to go to Mexico. 0.95

00:55:14.000 I was like, you're crazy.

00:55:16.000 And he's like, yeah, no, that's actually a thing. 0.92

00:55:17.000 And I was like, oh, maybe so, because the U.S.

00:55:20.000 health care system I know is an absolute sham.

00:55:22.000 You're absolutely correct.

00:55:23.000 Yeah.

00:55:23.000 And I do think that the American health insurance system really is a scam, too, because they're a little bit like the American college system in that they jack up their prices to meet what the insurance company will pay.

00:55:34.000 That's a problem.

00:55:36.000 The insurance company will pay whatever they ask.

00:55:38.000 Exactly.

00:55:38.000 And then my insurance, I had insurance, and they wouldn't cover any of my dental work.

00:55:43.000 And I'm like, what do you do with that?

00:55:44.000 Why am I paying for insurance?

00:55:45.000 You're not even going to cover my work.

00:55:47.000 Literally, so happy in Colombia.

00:55:49.000 Beautiful country.

00:55:51.000 And an interesting fact about Colombia, they actually have the same record amount of cocaine production like they did in the 80s, but with huge dramatic reductions of violence.

00:56:00.000 So they're trying to make it tourist friendly.

00:56:03.000 And this is where we make the cocaine!

00:56:07.000 So, record cocaine production and the most increased amount of peace that Colombia has had in a very long time.

00:56:17.000 So, a lot of amazing history, a very beautiful place.

00:56:21.000 I know tons of people.

00:56:23.000 I know people from the suburbs of Chicago who are middle class, and they'll be like, yo, what up?

00:56:27.000 And I'm like, oh, I'm going to Mexico for vacation.

00:56:29.000 Oh no, I'm getting dental work done.

00:56:31.000 I know too many people that tell me that because they're like, the amount of money it costs you to fly there, And then the amount for the dental work is cheaper than going to a dentist in America.

00:56:39.000 Yep.

00:56:40.000 Sounds like bad American business.

00:56:42.000 Sounds like they're outsourcing jobs and, you know, maybe that's free trade and we gotta... So it's connected to like the education industry that charges insane rates for a person to go become a dentist.

00:56:55.000 They gotta spend six to eight years or whatever, go to medical school, spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.

00:57:01.000 That's even questionable whether you actually need all that schooling or if you just need the real-world ability to do it.

00:57:06.000 I got a wisdom tooth pulled by this dude who didn't seem like he knew what he was doing.

00:57:10.000 Anybody who probably went to school and still didn't really know what he was doing.

00:57:13.000 He's like, that one's in there!

00:57:14.000 He took a chisel and he's like, WACK!

00:57:15.000 So yeah, you can go to school and just kind of breeze your way through and still not know what you're doing.

00:57:19.000 So it's weird that all you need is a piece of paper and then you can officially become a doctor.

00:57:23.000 Obviously you've got to have a real ability, but A doctor, they don't study health and fitness necessarily, they just study medicine.

00:57:32.000 So if you're a DO, a doctor of osteopath, you study everything that somebody needs to actually be healthy.

00:57:39.000 If you're an MD, you study only the things that are wrong with people, which I can understand being an issue because people complain about only seeing the things that are wrong with people.

00:57:47.000 So I think your question might be with DOs or with MDs.

00:57:49.000 It's such a massive overhaul of the system that we need to do.

00:57:52.000 If we want to make the medical industry not charge a million dollars to the insurance agency, which has these kids by the balls who are like dentists and doctors.

00:58:03.000 It's not so easy, though, because you've got millions of jobs tied into that.

00:58:07.000 And overhauling, that would mean terminating those jobs.

00:58:08.000 It's a lot of parasitic jobs, but it's still jobs.

00:58:12.000 That's so weird.

00:58:13.000 So they're like, sorry, it's already there.

00:58:16.000 Sorry it's damaging you.

00:58:17.000 What are we going to do?

00:58:18.000 You know, I guess the challenge is ignorance and ideology.

00:58:22.000 If you can go and look at how good the system works in a different country, and then, you know, a lot of people on the left will try to extrapolate data and say, look, we could do it here when the populations are dramatically different and the resource availability is very different.

00:58:34.000 It's hard to do.

00:58:35.000 It's hard to do.

00:58:36.000 It's hard to figure out how we actually fix this broken system.

00:58:40.000 A lot of people say let the free market decide and it would solve everything.

00:58:43.000 The left disagrees and they think you've got to have hard regulations.

00:58:47.000 We already have hard regulations.

00:58:49.000 No, no, no.

00:58:49.000 So what they think is you've got to mix an amalgam of private and regulation mashed together in a weird way that doesn't work properly.

00:58:57.000 And I think that's true.

00:58:59.000 Like trying to have a private health insurance system, but regulated to the point where it doesn't function properly, just gives us a broken system.

00:59:07.000 So I'm kind of like, pick one.

00:59:08.000 I don't care.

00:59:09.000 You know what I mean?

00:59:09.000 Pick one and then we'll start there and try and fix it.

00:59:11.000 That's what's happening in the U.S.

00:59:12.000 because we have like a lot of different components.

00:59:15.000 We're not fully socialized.

00:59:16.000 We're not fully capitalistic.

00:59:18.000 It's just a mess and it's a huge problem for everyone who has to use it, which is like literally everyone.

00:59:24.000 You have to like go to the doctor at some point.

00:59:26.000 You have to go to the ER at some point.

00:59:28.000 And every time it's like a huge bill on you.

00:59:31.000 And it's like, what, what a mess between the insurance company and the actual hospital.

00:59:35.000 Yeah.

00:59:35.000 Get a checkup, check your blood levels.

00:59:37.000 I'd like, so we, we, we started this segment talking about Joe Biden and he was rescinding this, uh, here's the tweet.

00:59:45.000 Mary Vaught says Biden reversed Trump's executive order to reduce pricing for insulin and epinephrine.

00:59:50.000 Democrats want higher insulin prices from Bloomberg government.

00:59:54.000 Well, you get what you get when you vote for Joe Biden.

00:59:57.000 But my friends, there's also another story we have where we can talk about what you get when you vote for the likes of Bernie Sanders, or not so much Bernie, but those who would push policies like Bernie.

01:00:08.000 Take a look at this here image.

01:00:09.000 Why we got good ol' Bernie Sanders.

01:00:11.000 And he's sitting in a little chair and he's got these big ol' mittens on.

01:00:15.000 And this photo became a very viral meme.

01:00:18.000 It is Bernie Sanders at the inauguration.

01:00:19.000 He's kind of just like, ugh, what's it over with?

01:00:22.000 And a lot of people mention those mittens were just so awesome.

01:00:24.000 Oh my god.

01:00:25.000 Amazing mittens, right?

01:00:26.000 Right, Ian?

01:00:27.000 Yeah, they were beautiful.

01:00:28.000 Beautiful mittens.

01:00:30.000 What if I were to tell you that you will never be able to get those mittens? 0.99

01:00:34.000 You fascist. 0.97

01:00:35.000 No. 0.98

01:00:36.000 Socialist.

01:00:36.000 You know why?

01:00:37.000 Why?

01:00:37.000 The woman who made those mittens went out of business because the taxes were too high and it destroyed her business.

01:00:43.000 Wow.

01:00:43.000 Ironic.

01:00:43.000 What?

01:00:45.000 Yup.

01:00:45.000 The story from The Federalist.

01:00:47.000 Woman behind Bernie Sanders' iconic mittens quit making them because high taxes killed her business. 1.00

01:00:53.000 How ironic.

01:00:54.000 Yup.

01:00:54.000 That this happened.

01:00:55.000 Yeah, it's like a fire truck on fire.

01:00:57.000 The guy who advocates for higher taxes is wearing the mittens of someone who can't make them anymore because taxes destroy their business.

01:01:04.000 I'd like to give a round of applause again.

01:01:06.000 You know, look, there's an appropriate middle ground, there's negotiations, and there's a way to move forward, but I think we see too much on the left is zealotry.

01:01:15.000 Zealotry in the sense where it's like, we didn't plan this, we don't know what the results will be, but we really believe it to be true, so we're gonna do it anyway.

01:01:22.000 And so then you get this.

01:01:24.000 Federalist says the Vermont school teacher who made Bernie Sanders mittens featured in the most recent viral meme said she had to stop making them after the federal government taxed her too much.

01:01:33.000 People have been contacting me thinking they can get mittens, and actually they can't.

01:01:36.000 I don't have any more.

01:01:37.000 I don't have much of a mitten business anymore because it really wasn't worth it.

01:01:41.000 Jen Ellis explained to Slate, independent crafters get really taken for a ride by the federal government.

01:01:46.000 We get taxed to the nth degree, and it really, it wasn't really worth it pursuing that as a business, even as a side hustle.

01:01:53.000 Oh man!

01:01:54.000 Oh wow!

01:01:55.000 Talk about a punch in the gut.

01:01:59.000 Seriously.

01:02:00.000 You know, we've talked about it a lot.

01:02:01.000 A lot of conservatives do, free market capitalist types.

01:02:04.000 If you tax people too much, there's no incentive to actually do anything.

01:02:08.000 Why do it?

01:02:09.000 Yep.

01:02:09.000 What do you get?

01:02:10.000 I kind of live that life, man.

01:02:12.000 I'm just skating right now because I don't want to deal with it.

01:02:15.000 The taxes?

01:02:15.000 Yeah.

01:02:16.000 The whole system is so annoying.

01:02:18.000 They just want to take, take, take, regulate this, regulate that, like the paperwork.

01:02:21.000 I mean, I guess you will hire someone else to do that stuff for you, which is great.

01:02:26.000 I guess if you get to that point, Maybe, but you still gotta pay attention.

01:02:29.000 If someone's handling your finances, it's their finances.

01:02:32.000 So you still have to maintain your finances.

01:02:35.000 That's a good lesson that Kanye West talks about.

01:02:36.000 He's his own COO or CFO.

01:02:40.000 While many people make the argument that taxes are all about controlling and keeping people in line, how can you not believe that when the government literally prints money?

01:02:49.000 But yet we're still supposed to be given a portion of our income if we could still magically earn it.

01:02:55.000 If immigration didn't take it, if oversee visas didn't take it, we somehow magically are able to sustain for ourselves and we still have to give a huge cut to the government that is going to spend it on most likely war?

01:03:08.000 I mean, are you kidding me?

01:03:11.000 You see, look, when we talk about taxes, the left and the right usually have the wrong conversation.

01:03:16.000 I love the who will build the roads conversation with libertarians, right?

01:03:20.000 So a lot of people on the left, when talking with ANCAPs and Libertarians, say, but who will pay for the roads?

01:03:26.000 And then you actually get an argument.

01:03:27.000 And the Libertarians will say, it's going to be a private company who maintains the roads, and maybe there will be a toll.

01:03:32.000 And I'm sitting there going like, uh-huh, uh-huh.

01:03:34.000 Let me ask you the real question.

01:03:35.000 Who's going to bomb the kids?

01:03:37.000 Who's going to blow the kids up?

01:03:38.000 Oh, guess what?

01:03:39.000 Nobody.

01:03:40.000 Because there's no incentive in any market to do it.

01:03:43.000 I'm not a laissez-faire capitalist, mind you.

01:03:44.000 Okay?

01:03:45.000 You know, I think there's problems with the overgrowth of monopolies and monopolistic power.

01:03:49.000 And I know a lot of people in the super chats often disagree, but I will tell you one thing.

01:03:53.000 The question should be not who will build the roads.

01:03:55.000 I'll tell you this.

01:03:56.000 I will take no road.

01:03:57.000 You can give me dirt.

01:03:58.000 I will crawl through rocks.

01:04:00.000 If it means we're not paying for the blowing up of people in foreign countries, which I don't like. 0.91

01:04:04.000 Yeah, I'll gladly take an off-road vehicle if it means not having roads, if we're not going to be bombing the crap out of the Middle East and sending troops all over the entire world and threatening huge geopolitical conflicts with other world powers. 0.81

01:04:17.000 Yes, I'll gladly do that in a heartbeat, and people need to understand that Michael Bloomberg, another kind of Scrooge-like individual, Has made arguments that taxes and regulations are necessary for control of the populations in order to keep them in line.

01:04:34.000 Lydia, you have something?

01:04:35.000 Yeah, so do you guys remember when Domino's Pizza decided to fix the potholes in the roads to deliver their pizzas better?

01:04:41.000 There's a private company.

01:04:43.000 Who will build the roads? 0.54

01:04:44.000 Domino's Pizza will.

01:04:46.000 What?

01:04:46.000 No they won't.

01:04:48.000 They did.

01:04:48.000 They literally did.

01:04:49.000 There was even an adult website that paved the roads in the Northeast after a major snowstorm because the government was having trouble doing it.

01:04:59.000 So, you know, there's a lot of stories of people coming to each other's needs, helping each other out without the

01:05:06.000 involvement of a middleman.

01:05:08.000 When you have a middleman, that's when you have government.

01:05:10.000 When you have people solving each other's problems, working with each other, bartering,

01:05:15.000 trading, that's called anarchy. 0.93

01:05:16.000 And we have a lot of anarchy that no one really wants to kind of admit.

01:05:20.000 You know what really bothers me too?

01:05:22.000 You know the government's not even really that good at blowing up kids?

01:05:25.000 Private security forces are way better at killing civilians.

01:05:28.000 Well, they spend a lot of money on it, especially when you look at the coffers, when you look at the budgets, when you see the trillions of dollars missing in the Pentagon, you're like, wait, where did this money go?

01:05:38.000 These other guys have flip-flops.

01:05:40.000 These other guys have literal cloth on that's not even made as proper clothing.

01:05:46.000 And if they're lucky, they have an AK.

01:05:50.000 But we have to send hundreds of thousands of dollars at one missile to blow them up.

01:05:55.000 Why?

01:05:55.000 Somewhere thousands of thousands of miles away from us.

01:05:59.000 Why?

01:05:59.000 This doesn't make any sense.

01:06:00.000 So I think this is a classic case of when you give people money, they will rise to meet whatever you will give them.

01:06:05.000 Because I found this to be the case with military budgeting.

01:06:08.000 So with the planes and stuff, they're like, well, we won't charge this much unless they'll pay this much.

01:06:13.000 Like Donald Trump found that the plane makers would make planes for like one half the cost.

01:06:19.000 They're like, well, we were just making planes because this is what they would give us.

01:06:22.000 I'm like, that's capitalism for you.

01:06:24.000 But at the same time, it's like if the government subsidizes it, that's an issue.

01:06:27.000 That's not capitalism.

01:06:29.000 It's socialism.

01:06:31.000 Yeah, when the government says we're going to be... Listen.

01:06:34.000 You should think about money in terms of buying power and access to resources and not... You know, people think about money, think about a number.

01:06:41.000 $100, $500, $1,000.

01:06:41.000 No, no, no.

01:06:43.000 Think about what you can get for it.

01:06:44.000 If you make $15 an hour, I don't care.

01:06:46.000 I don't care.

01:06:48.000 Listen.

01:06:49.000 Right now you got all these lefties saying, we should get $15 an hour, living wage.

01:06:52.000 Okay?

01:06:53.000 So here's what the government's done.

01:06:55.000 You will get your raise.

01:06:56.000 Quick, print money to reduce their buying power so they don't actually get anything.

01:07:00.000 If you can only buy, you know, let's say $15 buys you a pair of blue jeans, and then they give you a raise of $15 an hour, but then increase the cost of blue jeans to $30, you didn't get a raise.

01:07:11.000 You just think you did. 0.96

01:07:12.000 And that's a brilliant way to keep people dumb and happy. 0.98

01:07:15.000 Yeah. 0.97

01:07:15.000 I got a big raise! 0.97

01:07:17.000 Well, there's a reason a lot of the top billionaires call for more taxes and more regulations because it kills and squeezes out their competitors.

01:07:25.000 Anyone who's willing to compete against them, anyone who could defeat them, anyone who could overcome them, is burdened with all these other things that they have to deal with when these guys could just skate right through it.

01:07:36.000 It's no issue for them.

01:07:37.000 It's not a problem for them, but everyone else is going to be struggling.

01:07:41.000 There's a picture of this pool, and it's showing a little small business, and it's showing an adult in there.

01:07:47.000 The adult is Amazon.

01:07:49.000 It's all these other top big companies, and then the little kids are small businesses, and it's a pool, and they're drowning in it, and the water are regulations and taxes.

01:07:59.000 Yeah.

01:07:59.000 So that's essentially what's happening now.

01:08:00.000 And sadly, this poor lady, I mean, those mittens look pretty cool. 1.00

01:08:05.000 They look really nice.

01:08:06.000 But sadly, people are going to have to go to Amazon to get their Chinese made mittens by the Uyghur Muslim population, most likely, according to my own personal opinion. 0.99

01:08:17.000 They're incentivized.

01:08:18.000 You ever see those things where like someone will buy a box of like, I don't know, combs, and they open it with a note saying, I'm trapped in a factory in China, please save me?

01:08:25.000 Yeah, I have not seen that.

01:08:26.000 Yeah, you've never seen those before?

01:08:27.000 Yeah, because people working in the factories are essentially slaves and they'll write like, please save us, and they'll put it in the box hoping somebody gets it.

01:08:33.000 There's news stories with pictures of that stuff.

01:08:35.000 But the current system that we're living on leaves us no choice but to go to Amazon because there's no other place to potentially buy mittens made by the average person, the average human being, the average entrepreneur that is trying to make their way in this really complex, really hard economically hit United States.

01:08:55.000 It's so funny because I could make mittens and give them to you.

01:08:58.000 But if I make mittens and sell them to you, government's like, hey, we want 35% of that.

01:09:02.000 Yeah.

01:09:05.000 And on top of that, sales tax in certain states.

01:09:08.000 I mean, are you kidding me?

01:09:09.000 You ready for this?

01:09:11.000 From Vox.com.

01:09:13.000 You buy a purse at Walmart.

01:09:15.000 There's a note inside from a Chinese prisoner.

01:09:18.000 Now what?

01:09:18.000 You were right, Luke!

01:09:20.000 You said, what store?

01:09:21.000 You said Amazon, though.

01:09:22.000 Yeah, Amazon.

01:09:23.000 Walmart.

01:09:24.000 And it was Chinese prisoners.

01:09:25.000 Tracing a mysterious message across the world to understand how what we buy is made.

01:09:30.000 They say, When Crystal Wallace found a piece of paper folded up at the bottom of her purse in March 2017, she threw it in the trash.

01:09:37.000 She hadn't yet used the maroon bag made by Walmart and purchased from one of its Arizona stores a month months ago.

01:09:42.000 But after a few minutes, she got curious.

01:09:44.000 She took the paper out of the wastebasket, unfolding the sheet to reveal a message scrawled in Mandarin Chinese.

01:09:49.000 Translated, it read, Inmates in China's Yingshan Prison work 14 hours a day and are not allowed to rest at noon.

01:09:56.000 We have to work overtime until midnight.

01:09:58.000 People are beaten for not finishing their work.

01:10:00.000 There's no salt and oil in our meals.

01:10:03.000 The boss pays 2,000 won every month for the prison to offer better food, but the food is all consumed by the prison guards.

01:10:09.000 Sick inmates have to pay for their own pills.

01:10:14.000 Prisoners in China cannot be compared to prisoners in the United States. 0.99

01:10:17.000 Horse, cow, goat, pig, dog.

01:10:20.000 Crystal's daughter-in-law, Loris Wallace, posted a photo of the note to Facebook on April 23rd.

01:10:25.000 The post first went viral locally, getting shared and liked several hundred times, mostly by fellow Arizonans.

01:10:30.000 After a few days, local media picked it up, and the story eventually goes viral.

01:10:34.000 Here's today's Huffington Post, etc.

01:10:35.000 One video report on the incident accumulated 2.9 million views.

01:10:39.000 So there you go.

01:10:40.000 How else do you think these items are so cheap?

01:10:43.000 Why do you think they're so cheap?

01:10:46.000 It's just crazy and mind-boggling to understand how this entire system works, how it's incentivized, and yet we turn a blind eye to it and totally ignore it.

01:10:55.000 But Luke, you have these wonderful shoes and these pants and all these clothes and the goods. 0.95

01:11:00.000 We're all hypocrites. 0.98

01:11:01.000 They're made by slaves. 1.00

01:11:03.000 Most of them.

01:11:05.000 I think I will try a lot harder to make sure the stuff I'm getting made is being made fair trade.

01:11:08.000 Yeah, I'm wondering about the Teespring, who their third party is that they mentioned.

01:11:11.000 Teespring?

01:11:12.000 It's American, it is.

01:11:14.000 So they actually printed a shirt and showed me in real time.

01:11:18.000 So they have their own, you know, manufacturing, but the shirts themselves may come from overseas.

01:11:25.000 Oh.

01:11:26.000 I've heard that argument over and over again about sweatshops where these industrialists are like, well, they make a quarter an hour, but they'd be making a dime an hour if they were, you know, working on a farm.

01:11:35.000 So it's a good job for them.

01:11:36.000 I'm like, yeah, but you're also taking jobs away from Americans and extracting our economy. 0.95

01:11:41.000 So, you know what happens with all of this trade and what's going on with these slaves?

01:11:45.000 The cheap labor means that when you have 10 bucks and you buy that product, almost all of it goes to some ultra-wealthy billionaire type.

01:11:53.000 A tiny fraction goes to the Chinese government, of which they use it to barely sustain the lives of these prisoners.

01:11:58.000 Your money is being siphoned away by the ultra-wealthy, who then lobby for laws to make sure you don't ever compete with them.

01:12:04.000 So what you're saying is that they're extracting from you to prop up this cobweb and matchstick government or like economy in China. 0.66

01:12:12.000 That sounds great.

01:12:13.000 Yeah, you know what?

01:12:15.000 Maybe there needs to be some kind of like call to action for regular people.

01:12:18.000 Something like, I don't know, what would represent this?

01:12:21.000 Like not the managers or the bosses, but maybe like the working people, like the workers.

01:12:25.000 And maybe everyone around the world should come together and like, we could come up with a slogan.

01:12:30.000 Maybe like workers of the world unite.

01:12:33.000 How about that?

01:12:34.000 I'm kidding, by the way.

01:12:36.000 I think I heard that somewhere.

01:12:37.000 Where did I hear that from?

01:12:40.000 No, it really is a shame that Workers of the World United is associated with communism, though.

01:12:43.000 That's Lenin's thing?

01:12:44.000 Is that one of his rallying calls?

01:12:46.000 It's a communism thing.

01:12:47.000 It's like Workers of the World United.

01:12:48.000 Yeah, there definitely needs to be more collective bargaining. 0.98

01:12:51.000 There's definitely not enough with that.

01:12:53.000 I mean, we hear horror stories, not just in China, but also local factories in the United States when it comes to Amazon warehouses.

01:13:02.000 Halt, sir.

01:13:04.000 We need more decentralization.

01:13:05.000 We shouldn't have these massive monopolies like Amazon controlling everything. 0.50

01:13:08.000 Yeah, we should unite, but it's just how you unite is the key.

01:13:12.000 No, I disagree.

01:13:13.000 We should decentralize.

01:13:14.000 Maybe.

01:13:15.000 A unified decentralization sounds pretty legit.

01:13:18.000 Yeah, if we didn't have Amazon, Walmart, Target, and these big box stores being allowed to stay open because the government is propping them up while shutting down small businesses, you know, if we had small mom-and-pop shops that were all over the place, that's the kind of decentralization we need.

01:13:32.000 Instead, they're centralizing everything.

01:13:34.000 It's only a matter of time before Amazon does everything.

01:13:36.000 Literally everything.

01:13:36.000 Yeah, and they're lecturing us about social justice and LGBTQ issues and about what's...

01:13:43.000 There's so many we gotta start making skits cuz I have some really great ideas of like Just like an ultra wealthy guy counting hundred dollar bills, and then he looks at he looks like it's the coal miner and goes Racist it's counting his money again We gotta get Ryan Long and Tim Dillon on and then bring them here for a weekend And then just do a crap ton of skits in front of the green screen You ever see the comic where there's like a middle-class guy with a few cookies and And then there's an ultra-rich guy with a huge plate of cookies, and he's yelling and pointing at the poor guy with no cookie, and the middle-class guy's looking angry at the poor guy.

01:14:17.000 And I'm like, you could make the exact same comic if you changed the races of the people who are looking at each other.

01:14:22.000 Because all they've done is once they realized, people, workers of the world were actually kind of uniting.

01:14:28.000 Not in a communistic way, but against the establishment.

01:14:30.000 This was Occupy Wall Street.

01:14:31.000 So they threw in identity politics to make everybody fight each other.

01:14:34.000 And it works so perfectly.

01:14:36.000 They started obsessing about it on the mainstream media and in the culture, and they started

01:14:40.000 pushing this narrative, and everyone followed, and everyone got their little talking points,

01:14:44.000 and they repeated them perfectly.

01:14:47.000 And as you said, it worked, but I think there's also an element pushing it through the algorithms

01:14:53.000 to make it seem like it works more effectively than we realize.

01:14:57.000 So I think there's also the gaming of perception that is happening that is also an important

01:15:02.000 aspect to understand here, because when we're looking at the timelines, when we're looking

01:15:06.000 at the algorithms, it's usually the most radicalist, the most craziest, the most insane stuff highlighted

01:15:12.000 to us, and that's the perception that people get of other leftists or other people on the

01:15:17.000 right.

01:15:18.000 And I think that also is based on an illusion that is perpetrated.

01:15:21.000 Take a look at the story about the people in Germany being put in either refugee camps or in detention in hospitals.

01:15:24.000 drives you further into those kind of ideologies.

01:15:28.000 Take a look at the story about the people in Germany being put in either refugee camps

01:15:32.000 or in detention in hospitals.

01:15:35.000 And some of the people, some of our friends were saying that their lefty friends couldn't

01:15:40.000 find any of those stories.

01:15:42.000 And so I've actually encountered this and maybe you guys listening have as well.

01:15:45.000 I have a ton of friends who are very, very, very lefty, some social justice warriors.

01:15:49.000 We argue all the time, but we've been friends for a lot longer than the culture wars existed, so we kind of just move on with our lives.

01:15:54.000 But there have been times where I've been like, wow, did you hear about X?

01:15:58.000 And they'll say, that's not true.

01:15:59.000 And I'll say, Google it.

01:15:59.000 And they'll be like, there's nothing here.

01:16:01.000 And they'll try and Google it, but they don't see anything because of the algorithmic feeding of information.

01:16:05.000 So I'll have to send them a link.

01:16:07.000 And then finally, like, push that story into their bubble, and then Google will start algorithmically feeding it, Facebook will start.

01:16:13.000 But it's probably true that, like, if you go to r slash politics on Reddit, it is all left-wing agenda.

01:16:20.000 It's like, Donald Trump is bad, Bernie Sanders is good.

01:16:23.000 If you go on Reddit, it's, like, it's remarkable how early on in, you know, 2015-16, Donald Trump posts, pro-Trump posts, were dominating Reddit.

01:16:31.000 Now it's AOC posts.

01:16:33.000 Like, she's literally the same thing as Donald Trump.

01:16:35.000 And cats.

01:16:35.000 Their politics are different.

01:16:38.000 Cats, yes.

01:16:38.000 No, you'll see more AOC posts than cat posts.

01:16:40.000 I'm not kidding.

01:16:41.000 In fact, when I go to r slash all, no algorithm, it's just all the posts, there'll be like two or three posts. 0.99

01:16:47.000 There's like, there's r slash AOC, there's r slash murdered by AOC, then there's like r slash our president and progressive, and it's always a tweet from AOC going like, Republicans are trash! 0.99

01:16:58.000 They're so trash, I'm so smart. 1.00

01:16:59.000 Things like that. 0.99

01:17:00.000 Tim, Tim, Tim, I'm sure this is because the only people in the world are leftists who all agree with AOC.

01:17:07.000 I'm sure this is the case.

01:17:08.000 Top post on Reddit.

01:17:09.000 Reddit.com.

01:17:10.000 Hot, popular.

01:17:11.000 What brings the worst out in people?

01:17:13.000 That's the question.

01:17:14.000 It's just the most popular thing on Reddit right now.

01:17:16.000 They want to talk about that stuff.

01:17:17.000 That's fine.

01:17:18.000 Well, I remember last time it was Charlie Kirk as a white supremacist and I don't even like Charlie Kirk but I think calling him that is extremely disingenuous and fake and extremely hyperbolic and sensational that leads to the destruction of our language and from any rational political discourse.

01:17:36.000 And I remember a long time ago when Reddit was this free-flowing, amazing place, and you would get really interesting wonders and interesting creations, and now it's just more and more political, just like everything.

01:17:48.000 Like, can we not just be political all the time?

01:17:50.000 Can we stop that?

01:17:51.000 YouTube, you know, can you just focus on maybe creating a video platform rather than playing politics?

01:17:58.000 Same could be said for music, for art, it's just like... So I pulled up Reddit.

01:18:03.000 I'm on r slash all.

01:18:04.000 All posts.

01:18:05.000 First post.

01:18:06.000 Nothing to do with politics.

01:18:07.000 What is it?

01:18:08.000 It's a freezer full of mold.

01:18:10.000 Oh, good.

01:18:10.000 Or something.

01:18:11.000 Second post.

01:18:11.000 The real things that matter.

01:18:13.000 No politics.

01:18:13.000 Third post.

01:18:14.000 No politics.

01:18:15.000 Fourth post.

01:18:15.000 Giving me hope.

01:18:16.000 Three-act MAGA tragedy.

01:18:18.000 It's a woman complaining about Trump.

01:18:20.000 Fifth post.

01:18:21.000 Joe Biden's executive order is going to help unemployment and blah blah blah.

01:18:24.000 Pro-Biden.

01:18:25.000 Political.

01:18:25.000 So that's four and five political.

01:18:27.000 And these are by upvotes?

01:18:28.000 Yeah, like the most upvoted.

01:18:30.000 Then we have another post.

01:18:32.000 So number six is not political.

01:18:34.000 Seven is not political.

01:18:36.000 Number eight, Biden press secretary Jen Psaki is not playing.

01:18:39.000 When asked why Biden wasn't prioritizing Republican issues in the name of unity, she said, is unemployment insurance not a Republican priority?

01:18:46.000 Are schools opening safely not a Republican priority?

01:18:49.000 Oh, smack. 0.99

01:18:49.000 Oh, snap. 0.99

01:18:50.000 It's moderated, right?

01:18:51.000 The next post, pro-Bernie Sanders meme.

01:18:53.000 The next post is not political, not political, and not political, and then not political.

01:18:58.000 So, there we go.

01:18:59.000 The next post.

01:19:01.000 The next post is political.

01:19:03.000 The next post is arguing against unity.

01:19:05.000 The next post is political.

01:19:07.000 It's all pro-Democrat.

01:19:09.000 I should say pro-Democrat.

01:19:11.000 Are they moderating that, right?

01:19:13.000 Like, the moderators will go in and... Well, they banned the Donald because the Donald was too popular.

01:19:18.000 So, I would say, what do we have now?

01:19:21.000 About 50% have been pro-Democrat.

01:19:23.000 Here's another one.

01:19:23.000 I was talking about 35.

01:19:24.000 Not the Onion.

01:19:25.000 Capitol rioters express regret after not getting pardoned.

01:19:28.000 The next post is anti-Donald Trump, pro-Hunter Biden.

01:19:32.000 It's just nonstop.

01:19:33.000 It's just nonstop.

01:19:34.000 Every other post is just pro-Democrat.

01:19:37.000 Political.

01:19:38.000 The time Ted Cruz got bamboozled.

01:19:41.000 Texas deserves better, says a woman. 1.00

01:19:43.000 It's endless.

01:19:45.000 Endless.

01:19:45.000 It's reality TV.

01:19:46.000 No, it's all pro-democrat.

01:19:48.000 People getting in there talking about politics is reality TV.

01:19:50.000 It's like the modern day reality TV.

01:19:52.000 Well, it used to be about comedy.

01:19:53.000 It used to be about creation.

01:19:55.000 It used to be about art.

01:19:56.000 It used to be about just wonders that you wouldn't find anywhere.

01:19:59.000 Travel photos and interesting facts that you wouldn't get anywhere else.

01:20:03.000 Useful tips.

01:20:04.000 And now it's just cultism.

01:20:06.000 It denigrated to cultism, as you say, and it's sad.

01:20:11.000 If you want to go to a forum dedicated to Donald Trump, I wouldn't call that cultism.

01:20:15.000 If you want to go to a forum dedicated to AOC, I wouldn't call that cultism.

01:20:17.000 If the entirety of the website is dominated by people just mindlessly upvoting the same pro-Democrat stuff,

01:20:23.000 now you're getting yourself some kind of problem.

01:20:25.000 To be fair, it's probably paid companies.

01:20:28.000 Democratic organizations probably hire people to astroturf and sockpuppet on Reddit

01:20:32.000 to make people think that it's pro-Democrat, and then what they do is they lobby Reddit to ban

01:20:37.000 conservatives, which they've done over and over and over again.

01:20:40.000 So there you go. Welcome to the new era.

01:20:42.000 So when they do this, can you blame conservatives for really wanting there to be a space

01:20:47.000 where people just agree with them for a change?

01:20:50.000 Yeah, exactly!

01:20:50.000 Like, I don't know.

01:20:55.000 Well, Parler's gone.

01:20:57.000 They got exploded.

01:20:58.000 Yeah, I don't want to do the identity politics stuff anymore.

01:21:01.000 I want neutral platforms.

01:21:03.000 I think it's not gonna happen, man.

01:21:04.000 I just want a Reddit that used to be Reddit, you know?

01:21:07.000 I want a YouTube that was just YouTube and just focused on helping people create videos.

01:21:12.000 Helping people express themselves.

01:21:15.000 And they don't do that anymore.

01:21:17.000 V-O-A-T? 0.99

01:21:17.000 You now have communities.win, which is a bunch of different, you know, exiled communities. 0.99

01:21:22.000 You had vote for a while when Reddit started banning a bunch of, you know, different types of...

01:21:26.000 Like, I think fat people hate got banned, and it was where people just rag on fat people all day.

01:21:30.000 So they got banned and then vote was very similar to Reddit, and then they had their own, you know, thing.

01:21:34.000 V-O-A-T, vote.

01:21:36.000 Yeah, but then vote got dominated by a bunch of the exiled alt-right types, and so then the media attacked them.

01:21:41.000 Now you...

01:21:43.000 Now you have communities.win.

01:21:44.000 .win is interesting because they're like individual websites, just like somewhat networked.

01:21:48.000 It's an open source code, I believe.

01:21:50.000 I think the solution is going to have to be something like the Fediverse, a decentralized social media network.

01:21:54.000 Yeah, because you're always going to have moderators that have political agendas.

01:21:57.000 And even no matter how famous your company is, you'll eventually one day sell it.

01:22:01.000 And then some new moderators with new agendas will have it.

01:22:04.000 Or just stop editorializing.

01:22:05.000 Have a code of conduct, right?

01:22:07.000 Have a basic set of rules that are based on the laws.

01:22:10.000 And if someone breaks a law, let the law handle it.

01:22:14.000 Or you could personally handle it.

01:22:15.000 But when you editorialize something, you bastardize it, you manipulate it.

01:22:19.000 And this is why live streams were so popular.

01:22:22.000 Back in the day, especially when we were doing political live streams, it was unedited.

01:22:26.000 It was live.

01:22:27.000 We didn't make sure people saw certain stuff and didn't see certain stuff.

01:22:31.000 Everything was shown as is.

01:22:34.000 It was real life and people love that.

01:22:36.000 They enjoy that.

01:22:37.000 I still remember when we met at Occupy Wall Street.

01:22:40.000 You know, I was this very famous and prominent streamer and Luke was was was was

01:22:44.000 And then and then I saw Luke and I said Luke is huge and I saw Luke and I said hey kid catch

01:22:52.000 And I threw him a phone, and he went, Aw, gee, thanks, Mean Joe Tim!

01:22:56.000 Is this what happened?

01:22:56.000 And then Luke started streaming, and that was just how it started.

01:22:58.000 That's the story.

01:22:59.000 I'm kidding.

01:22:59.000 Luke had a really big channel.

01:23:00.000 I was some random guy.

01:23:02.000 You never produced a video when I met you.

01:23:04.000 That's not true.

01:23:05.000 I had several YouTube channels.

01:23:06.000 Well, you never were into politics or news when I met you.

01:23:09.000 Right, they were skateboarding videos.

01:23:10.000 Yeah, you were doing skateboarding, but you were never into politics, and you were like, What am I doing?

01:23:14.000 Well, hold on, hold on.

01:23:15.000 I have been in politics my whole life.

01:23:16.000 I wasn't producing videos of politics, I was producing videos of skateboarding.

01:23:20.000 No one knew who the Beanie Man was.

01:23:21.000 There was a reason why I went to Occupy Wall Street, because I was paying attention.

01:23:24.000 Had you beanied up at Occupy?

01:23:25.000 Of course.

01:23:26.000 Yeah, yeah, always.

01:23:27.000 And I got featured in an El Salvadorian magazine, I think, was like the first coverage, because they saw me working and they were like, who's this guy?

01:23:35.000 And I started live streaming through mobile.

01:23:36.000 It was very, very, you know, preliminary.

01:23:38.000 And it was like, what was it, 144p?

01:23:40.000 The streams were like just totally grainy garbage.

01:23:43.000 And then I met Luke.

01:23:45.000 Luke had a huge channel, 50,000 subscribers.

01:23:48.000 And when I met Luke, he was like, dude, I got 50,000 subscribers.

01:23:50.000 I was like, whoa.

01:23:52.000 Like, this channel's huge.

01:23:54.000 Yep, and then we were arguing, and we were at some debate forum, and then I was like, I like the arguments you're making here, and we just kind of like stuck around each other.

01:24:04.000 So I met some lady who was like, you should meet this guy, you know, he's got 50,000 subscribers.

01:24:07.000 Yeah, who was that lady? 1.00

01:24:07.000 I don't remember. 1.00

01:24:08.000 Shout out to that lady. 1.00

01:24:10.000 Was it We Are Change?

01:24:11.000 Yeah.

01:24:12.000 Were you streaming through YouTube?

01:24:14.000 I wasn't streaming.

01:24:16.000 YouTube didn't have it.

01:24:17.000 It was Ustream.

01:24:18.000 And I remember still making YouTube videos at the time with the big DSLR, having to run home, having to put in the SD card.

01:24:25.000 I remember during the raid of Occupy Wall Street, I was inside.

01:24:28.000 Oh, you stayed that night.

01:24:30.000 And I tried to go live, but there was some kind of interference.

01:24:33.000 There was something going on.

01:24:34.000 Too many people.

01:24:35.000 Well that and and also everyone was kicked out of there and they brought in these like weird, uh, you know trucks and these I was satellites And I was inside and I didn't have a signal from you as soon as I was kicked out No, I was inside because they set up a perimeter and like you were outside the perimeter Like 50 feet away, bro.

01:24:52.000 I'm saying your cell phone should have worked.

01:24:54.000 But you think they created like a zone of dead space or something? 0.79

01:24:57.000 And people were getting the crap beat out of them.

01:24:59.000 The police officers literally brought in these huge tools and they were cutting the metal that people were tied to on the inside. 0.61

01:25:09.000 People were just getting clubbed left and right.

01:25:11.000 People were getting just thrown around, shoved around wildly.

01:25:14.000 And I remember like, why can't I film this live?

01:25:18.000 And I remember doing the DSLR footage.

01:25:21.000 Josh Gordon-Levitt was actually there.

01:25:23.000 I interviewed him right outside of the thing.

01:25:26.000 I was able to escape the police.

01:25:28.000 The actor?

01:25:28.000 Joseph?

01:25:29.000 Yes, yes.

01:25:30.000 And I met Joseph Gordon-Levitt, interviewed him.

01:25:33.000 I saw Tim.

01:25:34.000 Tim was live streaming.

01:25:35.000 And then I'm like, I got to go home to edit this video because my cell phone died mysteriously.

01:25:43.000 And I remember six o'clock in the morning, I'm editing and then Tim pulls live with like three million viewers.

01:25:49.000 For 22 hours.

01:25:51.000 And I'm like, I made the wrong decision here.

01:25:56.000 And then you had people literally coming to you, bringing you batteries.

01:25:59.000 And food.

01:26:00.000 And food.

01:26:00.000 I was awake.

01:26:02.000 I didn't go to sleep.

01:26:04.000 I was up for over 22 hours streaming.

01:26:06.000 And there was a point where I was live streaming.

01:26:07.000 I couldn't open my hand because I was holding an umbrella.

01:26:10.000 Was that your big break?

01:26:11.000 Like, is that the moment that you exploded onto the mainstream?

01:26:14.000 Kind of.

01:26:14.000 I would say a hundred percent.

01:26:15.000 I mean, we're talking about millions.

01:26:17.000 Your feed was on all All the mainstream media channels.

01:26:19.000 Like 250 million views.

01:26:22.000 Yes.

01:26:22.000 But it was a blip.

01:26:23.000 Sweet.

01:26:23.000 It went up and right back down.

01:26:24.000 Yeah, that was the night.

01:26:25.000 And I had a bunch of these flavor of the month offers where they were like, write a book, join this TV show.

01:26:30.000 And I basically was like, nah, nah, nah.

01:26:32.000 Give me guarantees, give me guarantees.

01:26:33.000 Now this news, the famous lefty, they tried hiring me as their third person, as their main first correspondent or whatever.

01:26:39.000 I was like, nah.

01:26:41.000 Because what I wanted to do was I wanted to run my own thing and slowly build up a proof of a career Everybody saw that massive spike and they knew they could latch on to what I had done for some instant PR I told him to go f off and then a year later.

01:26:55.000 I went to vice and said hey look I'm still working.

01:26:58.000 It's still I'm still working what I'm doing is still working we've gotten way more press and they said I like I like how that sounds and Google wanted me to do stuff on YouTube.

01:27:08.000 They wanted me to, like, create this methodology and this technology, and so when Vice found out, and they found out I wanted to work for them, then they were like, hey Google, you know that guy you were trying to get?

01:27:17.000 We hired him.

01:27:18.000 What are you gonna give us?

01:27:19.000 And then Google was like, okay, let us know what you want.

01:27:21.000 And then I worked for Vice for a while, and then I went over for Disney, and then, you know, here we are.

01:27:25.000 Do you guys remember at Occupy, a couple nights before they raided the park, um, or it might have been a week before, Bank of America just all of a sudden decided to start doing street work.

01:27:34.000 Street construction, right outside the park.

01:27:36.000 Across the street from, you know, Bank of America is right across the street from Zuccotti.

01:27:39.000 Yeah, you mean, you mean Chase?

01:27:41.000 I thought it was Bank of America.

01:27:42.000 Right after Occupy started, Chase did lobby construction and barricaded off the entire plaza.

01:27:49.000 They started doing street construction.

01:27:52.000 Like drills and jackhammers.

01:27:53.000 Brown Brothers and Harriman was also out there as well.

01:27:56.000 And they were just trying to get people to leave the park because of the noise.

01:28:00.000 It was insidious.

01:28:01.000 I remember that the police would park their cars next to the park at like 3 in the morning and then just go Yeah.

01:28:07.000 And then flash their lights on to people and then it was it was like I

01:28:12.000 Think that what they were trying to do was like it's like it's it's a form of torture

01:28:15.000 Yeah, the goal was to sleep deprive people and trick and like metric them but like force them into leaving

01:28:21.000 I think there was officer Lombardo who literally wasn't it was at a guard at Gitmo literally there

01:28:28.000 Three o'clock in the morning kicking people putting flashlights in their face

01:28:32.000 Just waking up random people And I remember filming him, and he had this huge obsession with me, where he literally followed me everywhere I went.

01:28:41.000 So I went on a 10-block walk, and he just started walking right beside me, just looking at me.

01:28:49.000 Well, so there was hipster cop remember hipster. I remember hipster cop

01:28:52.000 So I remember he was like Tim and he walked over and shook my hand. It's like I followed your streams

01:28:56.000 It's really good stuff. I think you're being fair and I was like look if I was there for that. I remember

01:29:01.000 Yeah, I was like if the cops are hitting somebody I'm gonna film it if the protesters are hitting some in a filament

01:29:04.000 He goes, it's all we ask. I remember there was an undercover cop and people were like, hey, he's an

01:29:09.000 undercover cop I'm like, wait, what's going on here?

01:29:10.000 And I just started filming randomly.

01:29:12.000 The undercover cop comes and he jabs me right in my stomach.

01:29:18.000 And he walks away and I'm like, you son of a... And he jumped over the barricades. 0.91

01:29:21.000 And I'm like, that's it. 0.98

01:29:22.000 You son of a... The barricades were the police barricades. 0.83

01:29:26.000 You weren't allowed to cross them.

01:29:27.000 So this guy outed himself as an undercover cop.

01:29:29.000 Yeah, by punching me in the gut, jumping the barricades. 0.98

01:29:32.000 I jumped the barricades and I went right in his face. 1.00

01:29:34.000 I was like, you son of a gun. 0.86

01:29:36.000 And I was like, you know, and I just started going off at him and I was like, officers, this man assaulted me. 0.94

01:29:41.000 I want to press charges.

01:29:42.000 And none of them would do anything.

01:29:43.000 And he was walking three blocks and I was screaming at him.

01:29:46.000 And then later, of course, obviously.

01:29:48.000 He came behind the official police lines and other police officers like I'm like, wait, wait, wait, I got him on camera assaulting me and I wasn't even trying to do anything.

01:29:54.000 I was just filming there randomly.

01:29:56.000 So yeah, I got a couple batons there.

01:29:58.000 That wasn't my only rough up with the police there.

01:30:01.000 But there was also one incident that I remember.

01:30:03.000 Huge scuffles are happening.

01:30:04.000 This is the one time that Occupy Wall Street was actually able to get on Wall Street.

01:30:09.000 That was their big thing.

01:30:10.000 It didn't achieve anything, but it was a symbolic gesture.

01:30:13.000 There's huge fights, huge clashes.

01:30:15.000 I'm right in the middle of it, and then the officers are like, I know you.

01:30:19.000 You're Luke.

01:30:19.000 I love your stuff.

01:30:22.000 You're great, man.

01:30:23.000 Keep it up.

01:30:25.000 Thanks, man.

01:30:28.000 There was one time where everybody marched to... Who was the mayor at the time?

01:30:33.000 Was it Bloomberg?

01:30:34.000 I think it was Bloomberg, yeah.

01:30:35.000 They went to the mayor's house, and there was a bunch of cops.

01:30:38.000 What they would do is the cops would walk just off the curb to keep the protesters on the sidewalk.

01:30:42.000 And I'm walking and filming, and then there's this regular beat cop, and he goes, Hey!

01:30:45.000 Tim Pool!

01:30:46.000 And I was like, Hey!

01:30:47.000 And he's like, Hey!

01:30:47.000 And he reached his hand out and shook my hand, and I'm like, Ah, jeez, dude.

01:30:50.000 In front of all the far lefties.

01:30:51.000 This is bad optics.

01:30:52.000 So I shook his hand, and I was like, Hey.

01:30:54.000 He's like, I like what you're doing, man.

01:30:56.000 You're being fair about it.

01:30:57.000 And I was like, Yeah, no problem.

01:30:58.000 And then the leftists were like, He's on the side of the cops!

01:31:01.000 He's a cop!

01:31:02.000 This proves it!

01:31:03.000 And then Occupy Wall Street tweeted that one day when I got attacked.

01:31:06.000 So we told the story the other day, I got attacked.

01:31:08.000 And then Luke pulled the guy's mask off.

01:31:10.000 Occupy Wall Street immediately tweeted, Tim Pool just tried helping a cop arrest somebody.

01:31:15.000 And a bunch of the other activists who ran that, who knew I wasn't a cop, were like, what are you doing?

01:31:20.000 And then deleted the tweet.

01:31:21.000 But it got screenshot and started getting shared around.

01:31:23.000 And then all the crazy lefties were like, whoa, Tim Pool was trying to help arrest somebody?

01:31:27.000 What? 0.94

01:31:27.000 When in reality, I got hit. 0.94

01:31:29.000 And that was it.

01:31:30.000 Yeah.

01:31:30.000 I got hit.

01:31:31.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:31:32.000 You got hit.

01:31:32.000 Me and my friend, me and my friend jumped in and then the cops came and they let the guy go who beat you up.

01:31:39.000 So the guy ran away.

01:31:40.000 And then you posted his face.

01:31:41.000 Yeah.

01:31:41.000 And then no one ever found him.

01:31:42.000 Well, it was, it was, there's a lot of things that, you know, that happened in that little scuffle.

01:31:46.000 A lot going on.

01:31:48.000 So the guy, like judo chopped my arm while I was holding my phone up and it hit the ground and bounced away.

01:31:53.000 And then I grabbed his arm and pulled it and then just locked onto it.

01:31:57.000 Who?

01:31:58.000 Some guy.

01:31:58.000 Just some random dude?

01:31:59.000 He was black blocked. 0.96

01:32:01.000 And so I grabbed his arm and locked it and wouldn't let him go and he was struggling to get away.

01:32:05.000 Luke walked up and went boop with his mask.

01:32:08.000 Then a cop ran up and grabbed him and pushed me away and let the guy run off.

01:32:12.000 It was crazy.

01:32:13.000 So we thought the guy was like, maybe undercover or something.

01:32:16.000 Why did the cops come to save him from me?

01:32:19.000 They just want to stop the violence.

01:32:20.000 The cops literally ran in there, grabbed him, pulled him out, and then he ran away.

01:32:25.000 That's it.

01:32:25.000 Well, they pulled him out of the crowd and then just let him go.

01:32:28.000 They probably wanted to end the violence.

01:32:29.000 Well, I don't know.

01:32:30.000 There was no violence.

01:32:31.000 Well, you guys were struggling and they were like, no.

01:32:32.000 I grabbed his arm because I didn't want there to be a fight because I knew what they would claim in the press and what they would try to do.

01:32:39.000 So I just held onto his arm and he was trying to pull away and struggle.

01:32:42.000 And then the cop ran up and grabbed us, grabbed me and pushed me away and then let the guy go.

01:32:46.000 It was weird.

01:32:47.000 I remember going in there and pushing them, holding them down a little bit.

01:32:52.000 And I was like, well, let me see what's underneath this thing.

01:32:55.000 Dude, Occupy comes up a lot.

01:32:57.000 Because there's so many undercover cops that use black block tactics.

01:33:01.000 A lot of people don't know this.

01:33:02.000 There's a huge history of people.

01:33:04.000 of police officers inciting violence specifically as black block to make sure that the police 0.84

01:33:10.000 have a reason to respond and to crush any dissent whether peaceful or not.

01:33:16.000 So that's why I was always on the lookout for a black block because I knew they could 1.00

01:33:19.000 be undercover police officers because I just got beat up. 0.98

01:33:21.000 I got punched in the gut by a black block police officer. 0.98

01:33:24.000 Yeah, well hold on. 0.96

01:33:25.000 This brings me back to talking about getting in trouble for what your followers say and

01:33:28.000 do because your followers can be like Chinese plants.

01:33:32.000 A corporation can hire a bunch of people to become your followers to incite violence in your comment section or on your website.

01:33:38.000 And it's not your fault.

01:33:39.000 Look, I want to point out the undercovers.

01:33:41.000 We actually knew were undercovers.

01:33:42.000 They look like cops, dude.

01:33:44.000 Most of the guy who was wearing like a blue hoodie.

01:33:46.000 And no, he was wearing a black hoodie and was trying to be, he's trying to look like,

01:33:50.000 uh, like, uh, like, but he was like a middle-aged dude, but Bucky.

01:33:54.000 Yeah.

01:33:54.000 Oh, right.

01:33:54.000 Yeah.

01:33:56.000 But he was, he was everyone accused Bucky of always looking like a cop too.

01:33:59.000 Yeah.

01:34:00.000 Didn't he kind of go off the rails?

01:34:01.000 I don't know.

01:34:02.000 I think I saw him posting like a F Trump flag all around New York City in like these weird photos and I'm like, that's kind of weird as well.

01:34:11.000 Those are the days, ladies and gentlemen.

01:34:12.000 Those are the old Occupy days and something magical happened.

01:34:15.000 You see the powers that be realized that people like Luke Rutkowski.

01:34:19.000 What are you?

01:34:19.000 Are you an ANCAP?

01:34:20.000 How do you describe it?

01:34:20.000 I don't know.

01:34:21.000 I'm a free human being that doesn't like labels.

01:34:25.000 I don't- I like to determine my position after hearing- Free market or cooperative market.

01:34:29.000 I believe in personal responsibility and freedom and decentralization.

01:34:33.000 Libertarian.

01:34:33.000 Whatever.

01:34:33.000 I don't like labels.

01:34:35.000 Okay, commie. 0.83

01:34:36.000 Communist.

01:34:37.000 Yeah, sure.

01:34:38.000 Alright, commie.

01:34:39.000 I made a video where it said, uh, I took my political compass test, it turns out I'm a communist.

01:34:42.000 We took the political compass test together.

01:34:44.000 And I got libertarian socialist.

01:34:45.000 And I got libertarian.

01:34:46.000 You got center right.

01:34:47.000 You got libertarian.

01:34:48.000 We're like right in the same position, except you're just to the left.

01:34:51.000 I'm to the right.

01:34:52.000 Yeah.

01:34:53.000 So anyway, Occupy Wall Street brought together weirdos like Luke and weirdos like me.

01:34:57.000 Yeah.

01:34:58.000 And that's dangerous.

01:34:59.000 Yeah, it's not good.

01:35:01.000 Well, it gave us a start to be able to have a message that reached out to so many people.

01:35:06.000 I mean, we're talking about endorsements from Immortal Technique was down there.

01:35:11.000 Who else was that rapper that was down there that was at Obama's inauguration and talked about his drone bombing?

01:35:19.000 I don't know.

01:35:20.000 What's his name?

01:35:21.000 Common?

01:35:22.000 No, there was another one.

01:35:23.000 There were so many other celebrities and media figures and professors and intellectuals that came down there to argue.

01:35:29.000 Alec Baldwin came down.

01:35:30.000 Lupe Fiasco was down there too.

01:35:32.000 I interviewed Lupe Fiasco.

01:35:34.000 Roseanne Barr came down. 1.00

01:35:41.000 I'm like, what the hell's going on?

01:35:43.000 I'm eating a gyro and Roseanne Barr runs up to me. 1.00

01:35:47.000 It was such a weird feeling, but it was such a collective where there was such weirdness.

01:35:50.000 It was like the internet exemplified when it was still free and it was still wild, but it was in real life.

01:35:57.000 And you got the crazies, you got the leftists, you got the right-wingers, you got the Ron Paulers, you got the libertarians, and it was beautiful.

01:36:03.000 I loved it because it was such a random thing that just hit you upside the head.

01:36:08.000 No one in the media originally was talking about it, and it only got coverage because the police officers tried to brutalize the people in a way.

01:36:16.000 They pepper sprayed those women. 1.00

01:36:18.000 Exactly.

01:36:18.000 For no reason.

01:36:18.000 And that was the kind of V for Vendetta moment that lit it on fire.

01:36:23.000 That lit this idea amongst the minds of many people that's saying if you stand there, if you just sit there in a park, the police will come and they will beat the crap out of you and they will pepper spray you.

01:36:33.000 No, no, no.

01:36:33.000 It was four women on a street corner.

01:36:35.000 Yeah.

01:36:35.000 in the protest, and Tony Bologna walked up and just sprayed these four women for no reason.

01:36:42.000 He got reassigned to Staten Island because of it. Wasn't he like the number one, he was a top cop in

01:36:46.000 New York at the time? I believe so, yes. And then I think Lombardo took over and he was brutal.

01:36:51.000 I made a whole national geographic piece about the Lombardo.

01:36:56.000 So look up the Lombardo.

01:36:57.000 We are changed.

01:36:58.000 You're going to find a really funny video about his just utter abuse of power that we were actually able to make fun of.

01:37:04.000 He came up to me afterwards.

01:37:05.000 He was like, did you make that Lombardo video?

01:37:07.000 You made that video.

01:37:08.000 I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about, sir.

01:37:09.000 I have no clue what you're talking about.

01:37:12.000 Let's go to Super Chats.

01:38:24.000 Heads up on the website, too.

01:38:25.000 Tech Support's been hard at work figuring out the problem with why some people weren't getting responded to, and you will be getting a response within the week.

01:38:56.000 It just launched about a week and a half, almost two weeks ago now, about a week and a half.

01:39:00.000 So we're trying to get to the point where we're as proficient and powerful as, say, the New York Times.

01:39:05.000 It's going to take time and energy.

01:39:06.000 So I respect all of your patience.

01:39:24.000 That's what we're going to do.

01:39:25.000 Eric Douglas says, Ian is the Eddie Bravo of the show.

01:39:28.000 And I say that with the utmost respect.

01:39:29.000 I love Eddie.

01:39:31.000 Look into it.

01:39:32.000 Let's see.

01:39:33.000 Colin Peaces.

01:39:34.000 Adam Curry is jealous that his wife listens to your show more than his own show.

01:39:37.000 No agenda.

01:39:38.000 Get in touch with him.

01:39:39.000 He wants to come on the show.

01:39:40.000 Ooh, snap. 0.64

01:39:40.000 Okay. 0.64

01:39:41.000 Cool.

01:39:42.000 I'm not familiar.

01:39:42.000 I think I've heard of that show, No Agenda, though.

01:39:44.000 I'll look him up.

01:39:45.000 Yeah.

01:39:45.000 Andrew Bishop says, Tim, Kyle Kalinske said on Rogan that Trump increased drone strikes by 300-400%.

01:39:49.000 What's your thoughts on this?

01:39:52.000 Horrifying and very, very bad and worthy of the utmost criticism, no doubt.

01:39:56.000 Uh, the big challenge with Trump is, I didn't, look, I didn't vote for him in 2016, and I ragged on him for three years. 0.76

01:40:03.000 I just thought the critics were insane.

01:40:05.000 So it's like, Trump would do something questionable, and then the critics would claim he kicked a puppy in the face.

01:40:09.000 You'd be like, dude, no he didn't!

01:40:11.000 Calm down!

01:40:12.000 And then, when it came to the Abraham Accords and trying to withdraw, I was like, I like that, please more of that. 0.90

01:40:17.000 So, look, we've criticized the guy.

01:40:19.000 I just only gotta say two words.

01:40:21.000 John Bolton.

01:40:22.000 Like, seriously.

01:40:22.000 Criticize him on the drone stuff. 100%.

01:40:26.000 Trent Lomelino says Michael Malice was on Cash Cab and I can't unsee it.

01:40:30.000 Did he win?

01:40:31.000 Yeah, he did pretty well.

01:40:34.000 He's a smart guy.

01:40:36.000 He's a smart fella.

01:40:38.000 He looks so different though.

01:40:39.000 He looks like really really like he looks like he's like 17 Reese Jones says good day. Watch your show all the time

01:40:49.000 My wife is in LA for a course.

01:40:51.000 She was refused service for being not a local.

01:40:54.000 Is that normal?

01:40:54.000 We are Australian.

01:40:56.000 I don't know about that.

01:40:57.000 That's weird.

01:40:58.000 They're ossiphobic?

01:41:00.000 GeorgeRFM97 says, Hi Tim, I'm a big fan from the UK.

01:41:03.000 Hope you guys are aware of the storm about to hit crypto market regarding the Tether lawsuit.

01:41:08.000 It's been used to buy Bitcoin and could cause a temporary crash.

01:41:12.000 Perhaps, I don't care.

01:41:15.000 You know, Bitcoin was at like 48, dropped to 30, and everyone's like, quick sell!

01:41:18.000 And I was like, nope!

01:41:19.000 And then it bumped back up to like 38, and I'm like, don't care!

01:41:22.000 I watched this video recently, where this woman's like, in 2013, someone sent me a Bitcoin, and I shrugged my shoulders and said thanks.

01:41:30.000 Shrugged my shoulders and said thanks.

01:41:32.000 And now in 2021, she's like, I realized when everyone was screaming about Bitcoin, that I had one.

01:41:38.000 And then she realizes she has $40,000.

01:41:42.000 2013 Bitcoin was at what?

01:41:43.000 It was like fluctuating between 10, 50, or maybe even a hundred bucks.

01:41:47.000 Someone could have given you a $20 bill in 2012.

01:41:48.000 It's $40,000.

01:41:48.000 $20 bill in 2012.

01:41:50.000 Sing about that today.

01:41:51.000 It's $40,000.

01:41:52.000 About 10,000 bitcoins, man.

01:41:53.000 I almost bought 6,300.

01:41:56.000 This looks like tethers.

01:41:57.000 Maybe was using the money.

01:41:59.000 Tether's a stable coin and they're supposed to maybe hold the money when you buy it.

01:42:03.000 But they were buying Bitcoin with it.

01:42:04.000 I don't know.

01:42:04.000 There's some sort of investigation.

01:42:06.000 I use USDC right now as my stable coin.

01:42:10.000 OMG Puppies says social media was banning people for the NPC meme a couple years ago.

01:42:15.000 It triggers the SJWs badly for some reason.

01:42:17.000 Because it resonates.

01:42:18.000 Yeah, all my NPC stuff has been banned.

01:42:21.000 It's such a good meme.

01:42:21.000 Really?

01:42:21.000 Yeah.

01:42:22.000 Yeah.

01:42:22.000 Wow.

01:42:23.000 So, yeah, I mean, I like the NPC meme.

01:42:26.000 Yeah.

01:42:27.000 And I made a lot of NPC t-shirts.

01:42:29.000 All of them are gone.

01:42:29.000 So we're going to bring them back, though.

01:42:31.000 Who's the artist for that?

01:42:33.000 It was just like a 4chan meme, wasn't it?

01:42:35.000 I don't remember.

01:42:35.000 Man, I want to meet that person.

01:42:37.000 NPC.

01:42:38.000 Melissa B says, Dan Bongino warned about Teespring during his show yesterday or today.

01:42:42.000 Please be careful.

01:42:43.000 I mean, we will, but look, my shirts are silly.

01:42:46.000 Like me with a monocle and like a pipe with bubbles. 0.68

01:42:49.000 Oh, speaking of.

01:42:50.000 Oh yeah, Ian's got one.

01:42:51.000 I have one.

01:42:51.000 Lydia, thank you very much.

01:42:52.000 It's medium.

01:42:54.000 I'll be wearing this in the near future.

01:42:56.000 We don't do crazy, hyper-political shirts that word about getting banned. 0.95

01:42:59.000 It's silly. 0.92

01:43:01.000 It's just a really silly image someone made for us. 0.67

01:43:03.000 But even if you did, if you made fun of the mainstream media, why is that wrong? 0.74

01:43:07.000 That's crazy.

01:43:08.000 It does seem like they were going on copyright grounds, which means they shouldn't have, and you'll need a smarter and better provider.

01:43:14.000 Well, they shouldn't have, number one, it doesn't make sense, and two, they hit other stuff that there's no reason to hit.

01:43:21.000 Ice Fox says, don't know if you have looked into bunker branding or if they are taking more creators, but it is owned and operated by Matt from Demolition Ranch.

01:43:28.000 It's an alternative to Teespring by YouTubers for YouTubers.

01:43:30.000 Check it out.

01:43:32.000 Definitely.

01:43:33.000 I was looking into them and I don't know what their, you know, what the policies are, what their plans are, but I'd love to.

01:43:38.000 I got like 50 emails of people recommending them to me.

01:43:42.000 I emailed them and I hit them up on Twitter.

01:43:45.000 So yeah, reply back guys.

01:43:49.000 SoftShellCrab says, been a new fan for the last few months.

01:43:53.000 Going to become a member on your site next paycheck.

01:43:55.000 What to ask y'all, do y'all play Commander as Magic the Gathering format?

01:44:00.000 It's the only thing we play.

01:44:01.000 Basically.

01:44:02.000 We played some draft a couple weeks ago.

01:44:04.000 That was really fun.

01:44:05.000 Adam has a cube that he built with like all these, we were playing the unglued set and the unhinged and all those weird, like hold a card above the table type fun stuff.

01:44:13.000 There's one where it's like, you have to make a creature with your hand standing on the table.

01:44:17.000 And if you take your hand off the creature dies. 1.00

01:44:19.000 Silly, silly, silly. 0.99

01:44:20.000 But for those that aren't familiar... Betzo Majestica? 1.00

01:44:23.000 Oh yeah, Betzo Majestica.

01:44:25.000 There was like, you have to whisper a word, and then if they do, it causes a creature, essentially, in layman's terms, becomes inactive.

01:44:31.000 So I chose Betzo Majestica.

01:44:33.000 But mostly we play Commander, yeah.

01:44:34.000 It's been a while.

01:44:35.000 I have no idea what you guys are saying.

01:44:36.000 We'll get you a deck.

01:44:38.000 It's a card game.

01:44:39.000 It's only for smart people, you know.

01:44:41.000 People that like math.

01:44:42.000 Yeah, very smart people.

01:44:44.000 The way to describe it to people is chess and poker combined.

01:44:46.000 I got a question for you, Luke.

01:44:47.000 If there were five colors of magic for you to choose from, and those colors were black, white, red, green, or blue, what color would you pick?

01:44:57.000 No, you can't ask him this.

01:44:58.000 He doesn't understand because each of the colors represents a characteristic or emotion.

01:45:02.000 He doesn't understand.

01:45:03.000 Well, use your imagination of those five colors, what you feel most akin to.

01:45:07.000 Right now or forever?

01:45:09.000 He doesn't know what the color identity is.

01:45:12.000 So in Magic the Gathering, it's a card game.

01:45:14.000 There are five colors, and each color represents what they call a color identity.

01:45:18.000 The color black represents swamps and its ambition, meaning you would sacrifice, you'd cut off your own arm to defeat your opponent, like things like that.

01:45:25.000 Then you have green, which represents growth, so it's creatures and elves and forests.

01:45:29.000 You have blue, which represents control, so it's illusions and manipulation.

01:45:34.000 He doesn't know anything about magic.

01:45:35.000 Red is fire.

01:45:36.000 Destruction.

01:45:37.000 Aggression.

01:45:38.000 And passion.

01:45:39.000 Chaos.

01:45:40.000 And chaos.

01:45:41.000 And white is benevolence.

01:45:43.000 And healing and, you know, okay.

01:45:48.000 Where would you align?

01:45:49.000 I don't know.

01:45:50.000 I don't want to play these games.

01:45:51.000 I like stuff like the UFC.

01:45:53.000 And then people fighting and all that.

01:45:55.000 Luke would be red and white.

01:45:57.000 Yeah, I was thinking red.

01:45:58.000 Fire?

01:45:59.000 Red and white.

01:45:59.000 I'm red and white.

01:46:00.000 I'm definitely white.

01:46:01.000 Tim's more of a red mage.

01:46:04.000 Red and blue.

01:46:05.000 Blue.

01:46:06.000 You like blue.

01:46:06.000 I like blue a lot.

01:46:07.000 Chaos and Control.

01:46:08.000 Those are my favorite colors.

01:46:09.000 You fit well with red. 0.73

01:46:10.000 It fits your personality a lot.

01:46:12.000 All right, let's read some more.

01:46:14.000 I'm not going to read this, but some people are asking where Steven Crowder is.

01:46:17.000 Still on vacation?

01:46:19.000 Yeah, he's gone.

01:46:19.000 I don't know.

01:46:20.000 He must be.

01:46:20.000 He's in a secret underground laboratory.

01:46:22.000 He's loving that we're talking about him right now.

01:46:24.000 He's probably chilling, man.

01:46:25.000 He's probably fishing, having a good time, going to the range.

01:46:29.000 Maybe he told himself if Trump doesn't win, he's taking some time off.

01:46:32.000 Steven Crowder probably enjoying a nice bowl of clam chowder down at the, you know, brewery or something.

01:46:37.000 Probably, yeah.

01:46:38.000 Minding his own business.

01:46:39.000 Dark Party says, I followed Luke, shirt boy, for 18 hours, then he started trashing on Trump.

01:46:44.000 Well, of course.

01:46:45.000 Yeah, that's what I've been doing my entire life.

01:46:47.000 Have you met Luke?

01:46:47.000 Yeah, I've been trashing on all the presidents whenever I could.

01:46:52.000 I will say, I think it's worth to continue to follow Luke because he'll give you nonpartisan advice.

01:46:57.000 I don't like anyone, especially when they're politicians.

01:47:00.000 Yeah.

01:47:01.000 But you got to understand too, like if somebody is like, Biden is the best, Trump is the worst, you probably will need a voice.

01:47:07.000 Like Luke is going to be like, let me tell you why they're all bad.

01:47:09.000 You know?

01:47:09.000 Cause at least, you know, you're not getting a tribalist takedown of Trump.

01:47:12.000 You're getting someone's critique who doesn't like any of them.

01:47:14.000 I'm not for everyone, but thanks for giving me a try.

01:47:16.000 Thank you.

01:47:17.000 Creasy Bear says, Tim Pool doesn't always sell blackface merch, but when he does, it's hilarious. 1.00

01:47:24.000 That was, it was, when I saw it, I was just like, oh jeez.

01:47:28.000 I had to laugh.

01:47:29.000 Oh no.

01:47:29.000 You know, it's not quite blackface.

01:47:31.000 Well, the white fists. 0.99

01:47:32.000 Yeah, they were so crazy, dude. 0.79

01:47:33.000 I don't know.

01:47:34.000 It was on purpose.

01:47:36.000 But I'm not taking heat for that.

01:47:37.000 That's on DSpring.

01:47:38.000 Disney didn't.

01:47:39.000 I respect them for looking into it.

01:47:40.000 They apologize.

01:47:41.000 And I think it was probably, in my opinion, a rogue employee.

01:47:44.000 It was a third party company.

01:47:46.000 I'm sorry.

01:47:46.000 Not an employee of them.

01:47:46.000 They said it was a third party.

01:47:48.000 So we'll see what they end up finding out.

01:47:50.000 Maybe they're all laughing behind the scenes.

01:47:52.000 They did it on purpose.

01:47:53.000 But I don't think that's the case.

01:47:55.000 Let's see, Track Media Only says, News media gets away with it in part because libel laws have been broken or totally bypassed.

01:48:01.000 People yell First Amendment not taking into account libel laws have existed before and after its creation.

01:48:06.000 That's right.

01:48:08.000 Simple Caleb says, Oregon Governor Kate Brown cleared D1 schools to play sports.

01:48:12.000 Smaller NAIA schools in the same area are not.

01:48:15.000 Rules for the but not for the elite schools that probably benefit Kate Brown's interests.

01:48:21.000 That's right.

01:48:23.000 Daddy T says, here's to Bernie showing up to a buttoned-down event wearing oven mitts.

01:48:28.000 Love it.

01:48:29.000 I thought the mittens were nice.

01:48:30.000 They're very cute.

01:48:31.000 And they were funny.

01:48:32.000 And then I was sad to learn that they were destroyed by overtaxation.

01:48:34.000 Yep.

01:48:35.000 Well, there you go.

01:48:37.000 NuclearWinterGamer says, I hail from Saskatchewan, Canada, and sentiment of Western separation grows more and more the longer PM Aladdin sits in office.

01:48:46.000 Wexit.

01:48:47.000 Sorry about shirt.

01:48:49.000 Listen.

01:48:51.000 I don't care about the shirt, in the sense that if people got it and they have it, fine.

01:48:55.000 Just so long as I've made myself clear that that was not on us.

01:48:58.000 If anyone wants to get mad about that shirt, you take it up with Teespring.

01:49:01.000 If some people got it and they're happy with it, don't put that on me, because I'm not the one who made it.

01:49:05.000 You know what I mean?

01:49:06.000 I'm sure there's people who got it, are laughing, and they like it because it's a misprint and it's unique.

01:49:10.000 And I'm sure there are probably a lot of racist people who are trying to get one.

01:49:12.000 Don't look at me, I didn't make it.

01:49:14.000 So, Teespring, that's on you.

01:49:16.000 You scratch out the Timcats and put Teespring on it.

01:49:20.000 Gareth Green says, I realized the Vietnam War was a waste of resources and lives, but the world would be a better place if South Vietnam had been saved, which we could have if we had played it to win.

01:49:29.000 Iraq was a mistake, no question. 1.00

01:49:32.000 Look, I'll tell you, I'm very grateful about the U.S.

01:49:35.000 involvement in Korea.

01:49:36.000 What can I say?

01:49:37.000 I don't like military intervention, but it has a lot to do with my family, and they were fleeing, and what happened to my family later on, and what it means for the people of South Korea to be free and be able to thrive and have some of the best technology companies on the planet.

01:49:50.000 And North Korea is... sad.

01:49:53.000 And if the U.S.

01:49:54.000 wasn't involved, all of Korea would be a communist wasteland. 0.90

01:49:59.000 Helmsway says, Tim, I am the man wearing the shirt you showed earlier.

01:50:03.000 The look on my girlfriend's face when I took it out of the package and put it on was priceless.

01:50:07.000 Teespring changed my design.

01:50:10.000 Well, thank you guys for buying the shirt and letting me know what happened when it did.

01:50:14.000 I think, I think you guys got the very first one.

01:50:18.000 So, um, for everybody else, expect probably yours to come soon.

01:50:23.000 And, uh, well now there's going to be like a thousand of them.

01:50:27.000 We'll see. 1.00

01:50:28.000 Mr. Hunt, first name Mike, says Antifa literally the most ignorant fools on the planet. 1.00

01:50:32.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:50:34.000 Brayden says, did you hear about Biden rolling an armored convoy into Syria?

01:50:38.000 I did.

01:50:38.000 It was reported by, uh, IT, what was it?

01:50:41.000 Is it ITV?

01:50:42.000 It was a publication from, I believe, Jordan, wasn't it?

01:50:45.000 Well, there was Syrian state television reported it, but then there was also, I think it was ITV reported it.

01:50:50.000 Yeah.

01:50:50.000 And then several others were reporting it.

01:50:51.000 Some tried downplaying it saying the U.S.

01:50:53.000 moves convoys all the time.

01:50:55.000 Others are saying Biden wasted no time ramping up the military presence in Syria.

01:50:59.000 Well, others are saying it's reinforcement to the already very small number of troops in the northeast.

01:51:05.000 And Russia, it looks like, also matched it with their own reinforcements and over 300 soldiers that they just sent to that same region.

01:51:11.000 He's escalating our troop force in Syria.

01:51:14.000 Well, we're going to find out.

01:51:16.000 We can't independently verify that for now, but it looks like it.

01:51:20.000 Curious, Curious Mishap says, Germans starved to death when the Berlin Wall was in place.

01:51:26.000 America lied about sending supplies.

01:51:28.000 That's what my German grandmother remembered while we watched a documentary on it.

01:51:32.000 Never trust the media.

01:51:34.000 Or was it that the government of East Germany lied to your grandmother?

01:51:39.000 It's really hard to know who was being honest.

01:51:41.000 You might believe your grandmother and I respect that, but was your grandmother being manipulated and lied to by communists?

01:51:47.000 Communists are not known for having food.

01:51:49.000 So just a heads up, you know, my family have to go through it too in Poland.

01:51:55.000 A lot of them ended up hungry and a lot of them didn't have the basic necessities that we take advantage of right now.

01:52:01.000 Daniel Maxwell says, reads Luke's shirt.

01:52:04.000 So who wishes that George Orwell had not been so accurate with his predictions for the future?

01:52:08.000 I like it.

01:52:09.000 Boy, did I call it Orwell!

01:52:11.000 I think he's a fantastic writer.

01:52:13.000 If you guys haven't read 1984 and Animal Farm.

01:52:15.000 Well, he's a fascinating person.

01:52:16.000 His real name was Eric Blair.

01:52:18.000 He literally was involved in wars.

01:52:20.000 He was a MI5 agent.

01:52:22.000 His story is just absolutely profound, to say the least.

01:52:26.000 Animal Farm, also another great book.

01:52:28.000 That a lot of people don't you know attribute to him But there's so many important pieces of literature that he

01:52:35.000 puts together that really are worth reading and a lot of the public school

01:52:39.000 Systems are pushing them out I remember being introduced to them in the New York City

01:52:43.000 public school system And I remember being fascinated by both of those books and

01:52:47.000 they had a tremendous impact on me I found that both animal farm was like a story about the

01:52:54.000 rise of totalitarianism and then 1984 was a story about a system that was already totalitarian

01:53:01.000 So it's almost like they were a sequel, a sequel.

01:53:05.000 Bob Samarczyk says, Ian, you're the effing man, that is all.

01:53:10.000 What up, homie? 1.00

01:53:11.000 Matthias says, can you please talk about the book called The Creature of Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin?

01:53:16.000 I think everyone in the world should read this book.

01:53:18.000 I have it downstairs.

01:53:20.000 It's a huge book.

01:53:21.000 We should have G. Edward Griffin on.

01:53:23.000 He's an amazing, smart individual that interviewed the KGB agent.

01:53:28.000 We'll just let Ian talk to him.

01:53:29.000 I've talked to him on Twitter.

01:53:32.000 He doesn't just talk about the Federal Reserve.

01:53:34.000 He talks about a lot of stuff.

01:53:35.000 The CIA.

01:53:36.000 He knows a lot about a lot.

01:53:38.000 CIA, food, medicine, all this other stuff that's pretty eye-opening.

01:53:43.000 G. Edward.

01:53:44.000 Shinobi Kenobi says Tim won't say certain things to prevent from getting banned on YouTube,

01:53:48.000 but wanted Trump to bar Nassange, etc. when corrupt R's and D's held conviction over

01:53:52.000 his head and destruction of he and his family's lives.

01:53:55.000 Yeah, there's a balancing act.

01:53:58.000 Donald Trump was on his way out, and there's a difference between, I guess, the comfort of the president as he's losing all of his, you know, about to lose all of the power he has and dropping one last bomb, and me sitting here thinking, If we can talk about 95% of things that are extremely important the mainstream media won't cover, and we can call them out, and that means there are 5% of things I'll have to put on my own website, I think that makes sense.

01:54:23.000 If I was told by YouTube, you will be banned effective tomorrow, I would make the craziest video you've ever seen.

01:54:29.000 And I would just, I'd be like, here's what we're gonna do.

01:54:32.000 What we're doing now is, yeah, there's some things I can't say on YouTube, and it's only a couple things.

01:54:36.000 It's like a name, and, I mean, it's really the only thing I really have to worry about, saying some guy's name and swearing and stuff.

01:54:42.000 But we can talk about all that clean and safe at TimCast.com.

01:54:46.000 So that's the plan.

01:54:46.000 You gotta be smart.

01:54:47.000 It's about playing 4D chess, man.

01:54:49.000 I'm not just gonna, like, I don't understand why there are people who are like, Tim, why don't you say something and get banned instantly so you can't work or talk about anything anymore?

01:54:55.000 That makes no sense.

01:54:56.000 So what we're doing is, what we've accomplished on YouTube, the resources we've acquired, we're making a proprietary website that can't be banned, for the most part.

01:55:05.000 And finding ways to make sure we can always get you the real news and accurate information, while leveraging the resources we have.

01:55:11.000 Let's be honest, we gotta choose our battles.

01:55:13.000 Some battles were just going to be obliterated and totally destroyed and never be able to fight again if we decide to fight those battles.

01:55:20.000 And just like you did, I started doing the same thing on wearechange.org.

01:55:23.000 I have a very similar system.

01:55:24.000 I have certain videos that I know would get automatically banned that I just put on there and people could see them.

01:55:30.000 But there's other creators who got banned that are criticizing me right now.

01:55:35.000 And I understand where they're coming from.

01:55:37.000 But at the same time, when you see people who got nuked, their reach is tremendously limited.

01:55:44.000 And we have to, you know, do things in a way where we reach as many people as we can with so many important things.

01:55:51.000 And you make that compromise.

01:55:53.000 And we have to be honest.

01:55:54.000 And I want to stress this, too.

01:55:55.000 Do you think that Donald Trump caving to the deep state is going to save him?

01:56:00.000 Of course it's not.

01:56:02.000 They're coming for this guy, dude.

01:56:04.000 The state AGs are coming for him.

01:56:06.000 He negotiated nothing.

01:56:08.000 In fact, in my opinion, if Assange did get out and Assange could work to expose what was being done to him and his family, he'd be better off.

01:56:15.000 Instead, I would be surprised if they convict the guy.

01:56:17.000 And then they take away everything from him and they say, you had your chance and you blew it.

01:56:22.000 It reminds me of any superhero movie where the villain is like, give me this and I'll let you go.

01:56:26.000 It's like, why should I trust the villain, you know?

01:56:28.000 G.I. 0.50

01:56:29.000 Joe.

01:56:29.000 It was always Cobra Commander hanging on the ledge.

01:56:31.000 Yeah, they're gonna try to help me, and then Dukes, like, helps him up and he pushes him off the ledge.

01:56:35.000 Is that really, that really happened?

01:56:36.000 Yeah, it's Cobra Commander.

01:56:37.000 You can't trust Cobra Commander.

01:56:39.000 Exactly.

01:56:40.000 So look, I admit it's tough, and there's probably a lot of things I don't know about what happened with Trump.

01:56:45.000 Maybe what they threatened him with was something worse than I could possibly imagine.

01:56:48.000 So I'll respect that, and I'll respect what you were saying for sure.

01:56:51.000 I can't pretend to be perfect.

01:56:54.000 Gareth Green says, I humbly submit that the corruption of the American medical industry is because of government intervention therein, and a real free market would make those problems evaporate.

01:57:03.000 Perhaps.

01:57:04.000 Gabriel Montiel says, I had my wisdom teeth taken out in Colombia for 25 bucks each and they did an amazing job.

01:57:10.000 Wow.

01:57:10.000 Yeah.

01:57:11.000 But did you get them pulled or surgically removed?

01:57:13.000 You know what they do in Mexico?

01:57:14.000 I think you were telling me this.

01:57:16.000 They use your own blood to heal the wound in your mouth after the surgery.

01:57:21.000 They did that to me.

01:57:23.000 They don't do that here.

01:57:24.000 I think they might some places.

01:57:25.000 I still have giant gaping holes where they used to be.

01:57:28.000 I had them surgically removed.

01:57:30.000 That was an intense moment.

01:57:32.000 So I got a wisdom tooth put in and they had to like, you know, basically cutting up your mouth.

01:57:36.000 Yeah, they cut a hole and then dig it out.

01:57:38.000 And then what they do in Mexico is they take your own blood to help build up the area and it heals faster. 0.96

01:57:43.000 PRP.

01:57:44.000 That's what it's called.

01:57:45.000 Platelet-rich plasma.

01:57:46.000 They'll also use that to inject into wounds like knees and things like that for runners. 0.94

01:57:50.000 And it heals people faster.

01:57:51.000 Amazing.

01:57:52.000 So when I had dental work done, they were like, oh, we're just going to take your blood.

01:57:55.000 I'm like, OK, give me the Myers-Briggs cocktail.

01:57:58.000 Give me some vitamin C. Give me some other stuff.

01:58:00.000 Myers-Briggs?

01:58:02.000 I think there's a specific immune system boosting cocktail that they have a whole bunch of vitamins.

01:58:07.000 Isn't Myers-Briggs like ENTJ's personality test?

01:58:11.000 I'm probably butchering it and probably have another fraudulent slip.

01:58:16.000 On the bonus segment, you said lower the decimals.

01:58:19.000 Same thing.

01:58:19.000 You know what I'm trying to say.

01:58:21.000 You're just trying to be elitist.

01:58:24.000 Braggs.

01:58:25.000 Braggs is the company that puts out all that health food.

01:58:28.000 And the Myers-Briggs is a personality test, I think.

01:58:32.000 It sounds very similar.

01:58:33.000 I'm being blackmailed here.

01:58:36.000 Oh, sure.

01:58:36.000 There's another one.

01:58:37.000 Where is it?

01:58:37.000 Timay Mecca says hi I bet this chant chat won't be read if you do read it I

01:58:42.000 will send another super chat and become a member of the Tim cast comm site found

01:58:46.000 this channel like seven or eight months ago and couldn't believe that and then

01:58:50.000 there's a there's one more let me see there's another one it's always hard

01:58:53.000 because if the numbers are different it's hard to there we go a YouTube dude

01:58:57.000 like mr. milky toast and button masher Lydia and a few other plus t-shirt Luke

01:59:02.000 and Ian wannabe men vitality spin and And there's one more.

01:59:07.000 There's one more.

01:59:09.000 Let me try and find the next one.

01:59:10.000 Speaking of the male vitality, I had some in my coffee earlier.

01:59:12.000 Oh, it's hard to find.

01:59:15.000 Three.

01:59:16.000 Oh, no.

01:59:17.000 Third time's a charm.

01:59:18.000 Come on, we can do this.

01:59:20.000 I'm looking for it.

01:59:21.000 It'd be a nice feature if you could link your superchats together.

01:59:23.000 Oh, YouTube just jumped on me.

01:59:24.000 Oh no.

01:59:25.000 It's the Mayers cocktail.

01:59:26.000 Oh.

01:59:26.000 Mayers.

01:59:27.000 Yes.

01:59:28.000 Like Myers or Mayers? 1.00

01:59:29.000 M-Y-E-R-S. 1.00

01:59:31.000 Oh, okay, okay.

01:59:32.000 Myers.

01:59:33.000 It has like vitamin B, vitamin C, and a whole bunch of other stuff in there.

01:59:38.000 That sounds good.

01:59:39.000 I'm trying to find the third and last superjet, but I can't find it.

01:59:45.000 You can.

01:59:45.000 Mystery!

01:59:47.000 No.

01:59:47.000 You can do it.

01:59:48.000 No, I can't find it.

01:59:49.000 You can do anything.

01:59:50.000 Calcium, calcium, a whole bunch of stuff.

01:59:52.000 That sounds great.

01:59:53.000 It's like a multivitamin.

01:59:55.000 Yeah, but intravenously.

01:59:58.000 Oh, they give it for your body to heal after surgery?

02:00:01.000 Yeah, so when they were taking out my blood to do the PRP, I was like, just give me some extra vitamins and stuff, and they did it.

02:00:08.000 And I think they've made that also illegal in the United States and in some states as well.

02:00:12.000 Interesting.

02:00:14.000 That is weird.

02:00:14.000 Oh, that's sad.

02:00:14.000 We'll have to find the super chat eventually, but we have too many.

02:00:17.000 But let's read some more.

02:00:18.000 Jose Pereira says, I just read an article about how Apple spent $90,000 for lobbyists

02:00:24.000 to educate policymakers regarding bill to stop Uyghur slave labor from Daily Caller.

02:00:29.000 Wow, that's creepy stuff.

02:00:34.000 Ricky Bobby says, Hey Tim, I watched an hour long podcast with Raul Paul from Real Vision

02:00:39.000 Investments.

02:00:40.000 It isn't that goods are inflating, it's the fact that our wages are deflating.

02:00:45.000 Gives the appearance of inflation, but it's not.

02:00:47.000 Interesting stuff.

02:00:47.000 Really interesting.

02:00:48.000 Interesting.

02:00:49.000 Do you guys, uh, who was it?

02:00:50.000 You, I think Ian said that Joe Biden is Joe Bob Jr.

02:00:53.000 No, no, you said Joe Bob.

02:00:54.000 Yeah, but I don't think it's Bob.

02:00:55.000 It's Robinette, so it's Robin, I think.

02:00:57.000 Joe Robin.

02:00:58.000 I think calling him Bob might be wrong.

02:01:00.000 The short for Rob could be Bob.

02:01:01.000 Yeah, it is.

02:01:02.000 Could be Joe Bob, but I gotta ask him.

02:01:05.000 Joe Bob Jr.

02:01:05.000 I don't know what short for Robinette if it's Bob or Robin.

02:01:09.000 Bob's good enough.

02:01:09.000 Uncle President Joe Bob Jr.

02:01:11.000 Some other people are also mentioning Bunker Branding, so we'll definitely check them out.

02:01:15.000 Matthew Gregory says, Second attempt at Super Chat.

02:01:17.000 My brother was hurt and attempted robbery on him.

02:01:19.000 He owes $50k in hospital fees. 0.99

02:01:21.000 America insurance can suck. 0.98

02:01:23.000 Yes, that is true. 0.98

02:01:25.000 Let's see, Lady Semphia says, Hey Tim, have you heard of Vulcan West Virginia?

02:01:31.000 They had to ask the USSR to build a bridge for them because the US government would not- Wow, really?

02:01:35.000 That's amazing.

02:01:37.000 Curtis sees as a politician should never be paid a salary more than the median income of their constituents.

02:01:41.000 San Francisco median income is $53,000.

02:01:45.000 If the government is for, by, and of the people, they should be paid accordingly.

02:01:51.000 I like that.

02:01:52.000 The challenge is, you know, like Andrew Yang said, we should actually pay politicians a ridiculous amount to disincentivize disloyalty.

02:01:58.000 Because if the lobbyists are like, you're not making any money, trust me, we'll make you rich.

02:02:03.000 If they're rich from their public service job, they're going to be like, nah, you're going to jeopardize the rich life I already have.

02:02:09.000 I don't know.

02:02:09.000 It could go either way.

02:02:10.000 Cause some people are going to be like, I'll take more money.

02:02:12.000 I don't care. 0.97

02:02:12.000 Most of them are psychopaths that have unlimited hunger for power and money. 0.97

02:02:18.000 So I don't know if that would work. 0.61

02:02:19.000 Yup.

02:02:20.000 Yeah, they just want more.

02:02:22.000 There you go.

02:02:23.000 Amen.

02:02:23.000 Good call.

02:02:23.000 I've seen that.

02:02:24.000 here in PA, the Liquor Control Board has a monopoly that makes it so financially hard

02:02:27.000 on restaurants and bars. Let's deregulate, abolish the PL Liquor Control, PA Liquor Control

02:02:33.000 Board." 0.70

02:02:34.000 There you go.

02:02:35.000 Amen.

02:02:36.000 Good call.

02:02:37.000 Diss says, Check out Reddit Simulator. It's Reddit with all bots

02:02:40.000 talking to each other and it's very creepy. I've seen that. It's amazing.

02:02:43.000 Yeah.

02:02:44.000 Yeah, but they're only doing, I think, like, a splash page for now.

02:02:47.000 So, like, what do you do?

02:02:48.000 doing I think like a splash page for now.

02:02:50.000 Tanner Barnes says the Donald at wind got taken down.

02:02:53.000 That's not true.

02:02:53.000 It changed to Patriots dot win because Donald Trump isn't president anymore.

02:02:58.000 So like, what do you do?

02:02:59.000 So I guess they just rebranded for a variety of reasons and they're all

02:03:02.000 still basically doing the same thing.

02:03:03.000 I, that was obviously coming too, because I mean, there's a community

02:03:08.000 here that believes in something.

02:03:09.000 They're not going to just go away.

02:03:11.000 So they made it work.

02:03:12.000 It is what it is.

02:03:13.000 I do think what they're doing with the Wynn community is a good thing, because it's effectively creating a decentralized Reddit.

02:03:19.000 And so a lot of these banned communities are showing up.

02:03:21.000 I don't agree with some of these, and I think a lot of some of these, you know, communities have crazy people in them, but people have a right to free speech to be protected.

02:03:29.000 Harold Cole says, you should really check out Bunker Branding for t-shirt printing and sales.

02:03:34.000 We will.

02:03:34.000 That's awesome.

02:03:36.000 RJ Lewer says, did you see the new Joe Rogan with Tulsi?

02:03:39.000 She was basically exposing how corrupt and treasonous the Dems are, and Joe would just gloss over it.

02:03:44.000 Tulsi, you should come on this show.

02:03:46.000 We won't gloss over it, and I'm a big fan, and I'll leave it there.

02:03:50.000 but definitely would love to have Tulsi on.

02:03:52.000 Still a big fan.

02:03:54.000 Supported her throughout her campaign, and I really believed in what she was doing,

02:03:58.000 and I really respect the military service.

02:03:59.000 I had a night where I was in my apartment thinking about Tulsi and supporting her,

02:04:04.000 and I just started crying.

02:04:05.000 Hmph.

02:04:06.000 She's great.

02:04:07.000 Yeah, she's super cool. 0.99

02:04:07.000 into what I was. She's amazing. Yeah, she's super cool. 0.99

02:04:11.000 Dude, so legit.

02:04:12.000 Brandon Tom says, you say what, what happened to turn the other cheek and

02:04:17.000 then fault Republicans for doing nothing? What is the appropriate middle

02:04:20.000 ground, if any? Well, when we're talking about turning the other cheek, I

02:04:23.000 think we're referencing violence and stuff.

02:04:25.000 You know, like, not engaging in the same tit-for-tat that's not resulting in anything.

02:04:29.000 Impeaching Donald Trump wasn't a solution to anything, it was chaos.

02:04:32.000 The problem with Republicans is they're not advocating for Republicans, or even Americans.

02:04:37.000 Republicans aren't coming out there and being like, we're gonna propose a bill that will rescind these laws curtailing people's gun rights.

02:04:44.000 Like, think about this.

02:04:45.000 We've had a bunch of bans, like, Are Republicans on board the bump stock ban?

02:04:49.000 Like what do you think about that? Most of the Republicans?

02:04:52.000 No It's it's an extremely big overreach of power that criminalized

02:04:57.000 millions of Americans and made them felons overnight previous Republican support it

02:05:02.000 Donald Trump supported it and he pushed it through and it's absolutely insane because previous gun restrictive measures

02:05:09.000 were Measures that would grandfather people in that wouldn't

02:05:12.000 automatically turn people into felonies But if you had this thing overnight felony jail possession

02:05:18.000 For something that people were buying knowingly so it was a huge step forward in gun

02:05:25.000 In anti-gun legislation that really should have been pushed back immediately

02:05:30.000 We got a question for Luke.

02:05:31.000 Dice Goblin says, Luke, question for you.

02:05:33.000 If we have no taxes, how do the men and women who choose to serve get paid for their service?

02:05:39.000 There's many other, you know, you plunder.

02:05:41.000 I love it.

02:05:43.000 I love it.

02:05:44.000 Let's do it.

02:05:44.000 You say, we give you carte blanche to raid that country and whatever you get is yours.

02:05:48.000 Heck yeah.

02:05:48.000 Well, no.

02:05:50.000 Obviously not.

02:05:50.000 You would have other incentives that you could do and also other collectives that you could reach and agree upon.

02:05:59.000 That's so vague.

02:06:00.000 Wait, do you think we should repeal all taxes?

02:06:04.000 I don't like taxes.

02:06:05.000 I don't like taxes.

02:06:06.000 I think a lot of people usually like to nitpick these larger ANCAP ideas when, of course, a lot of them are just like northern stars.

02:06:15.000 They're navigations of where we should be heading towards because obviously the taxes are way too high.

02:06:21.000 So to take everything literal is a little bit disingenuous, but to say that it's a good starting point to aim for is good.

02:06:28.000 Do I have all the answers and solutions when we get there?

02:06:30.000 I don't.

02:06:31.000 So you think we need less taxes?

02:06:32.000 100%.

02:06:33.000 I think that I don't like that I don't know where my taxes go.

02:06:35.000 Yeah, you can look that up.

02:06:37.000 Black budget. 0.67

02:06:38.000 There's a thing called a black budget.

02:06:40.000 The problem is the size and scale of things make it impossible for a regular person to actually be able to do this.

02:06:45.000 Like you can actually look up the budgets and the expenditures and stuff, but you got to be an expert to understand it.

02:06:50.000 And do the math.

02:06:50.000 Yeah, it's not easy.

02:06:51.000 And so it's the scale of things that are making it very difficult to track what's going on.

02:06:55.000 And, well, Luke mentions the Federal Reserve missing money and stuff like that.

02:06:58.000 Yeah, the Pentagon came up with like $1.3 trillion they lost.

02:07:02.000 When the government has enough money to give to foreign countries, that's when you know they have too much money.

02:07:06.000 When the Pentagon loses a trillion dollars, I should, I really want that.

02:07:10.000 I was looking for that story earlier.

02:07:11.000 I couldn't find it.

02:07:12.000 They moved around through $35 trillion in budgeting a couple of years ago, the Pentagon.

02:07:17.000 Are you guys?

02:07:17.000 I don't know if it was that much, but even before 9-11, there was trillions of dollars missing and no one could account for them.

02:07:24.000 Like the day before 9-11, it was like September 10th, the Pentagon misplaced $1.3 trillion.

02:07:28.000 I asked Donald Rumsfeld about that.

02:07:32.000 Well, we got a super chat here for Ian.

02:07:34.000 Uncultured Barbarian says, wrong night, but Ian's right. 1.00

02:07:36.000 Trump definitely corrupt.

02:07:39.000 1997 Rothschilds bailed him out because Taj Mahal bankrupted him. 0.94

02:07:42.000 They own half of that casino and several of his properties.

02:07:44.000 Former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is source.

02:07:48.000 Interesting.

02:07:48.000 I was thinking about the nepotism conversation, and then today I was like, I think kind of what bothers me is that he surrounded himself with yes-men, including his daughter and his daughter's husband.

02:07:57.000 That's not true, dude.

02:07:57.000 They were just like, daddy!

02:07:59.000 She cried?

02:07:59.000 She got him to go to war over crying?

02:08:02.000 They were defying him and leaking everything, dude.

02:08:04.000 He hired a bunch of bad people who didn't help him and didn't work for him.

02:08:07.000 You want to hire people that will confront you and push back on your ideas.

02:08:11.000 But instead, the people he hired were secretly leaking things behind his back.

02:08:14.000 Yeah, they were like yes men, and then they betrayed him.

02:08:17.000 He was probably the most leaked on, no pun intended, president of the United States.

02:08:22.000 If people pushed back on him, he would fire them.

02:08:24.000 So they would all be like, yes, yes, yes.

02:08:26.000 And then they'd leak the incense.

02:08:29.000 Well, we got a very important.

02:08:30.000 Chris Lamson says, where can I get a print of the art behind Luke?

02:08:33.000 This art is from George Alexopolis, also known as GPrime85 on social media.

02:08:39.000 And I believe he sells prints and it's some of the best art ever.

02:08:43.000 In fact, behind Luke is Joe Biden eating OK Boomer Girl.

02:08:46.000 And behind Ian, there's two.

02:08:48.000 There's one with Joe Rogan, and then there's one on the ground of Joe Biden also eating a little girl.

02:08:53.000 There we go.

02:08:54.000 He released a really good one today with Joe Biden playing with toy soldiers and throwing them back in and they ended up in parking lots.

02:09:03.000 There's a good Timcast IRL episode with George Alexopoulos.

02:09:07.000 We should get him back on.

02:09:09.000 pavraj grew all says yo tim biden just sent more troops into syria and is sending more to iraq and israel just killed four people biden america yeah mm-hmm josh says could you add a number of retweets like and or mentions when you see the sycophantic tweets sycophantic would be nice to know when those tweets are just yelling fire in a theater but very limited views may help turn down the temperature Yeah, there was somebody claiming, like, a bunch of the leftists are trying to get Fox News banned, saying that Fox News is essentially yelling fire in a crowded theater, so it's illegal, obviously.

02:09:40.000 And it's like, people don't realize you're legally allowed to yell fire in a crowded theater.

02:09:44.000 But the theater will throw you out?

02:09:46.000 I mean, if they want to.

02:09:47.000 They don't have to.

02:09:48.000 You're allowed to say it.

02:09:50.000 It is legal?

02:09:51.000 It is legal, yes.

02:09:52.000 To go tell people that something is about to happen if it's not?

02:09:55.000 Yes, it is.

02:09:56.000 It is a myth.

02:09:57.000 Even Don Lemon recently, like a week or two ago, I think it was Chris Cuomo, who said, you can't yell fire in a crowded theater, and Don goes, no, no, that's not true, that's not true, you can't say that, that's a myth, and Cuomo was like, it is true, it is true!

02:10:12.000 Cuomo you're like he was a lawyer wasn't he it's no idea what he's talking about getting crushed by Cuomo

02:10:16.000 It's a lawyer if I'm in a movie theater. I see someone scream fire in front of me

02:10:20.000 I'm just gonna take a look. He doesn't say anything, but he says it again. I'm gonna kick his chair

02:10:23.000 right, so it's like Problem solved

02:10:28.000 Christian Larson says, dictator Biden has turned all comments on the White House YouTube channel off, but it was the will of the people that voted him in.

02:10:36.000 I don't think he's allowed to do that.

02:10:38.000 I think you could file a suit right now.

02:10:40.000 Like anybody could.

02:10:40.000 Did Donald Trump have his comments on for the White House?

02:10:43.000 But when he blocked people, they argued that those posts were forums and the government has no right to shut them down.

02:10:49.000 So Biden, the White House team doing this, I think it's unconstitutional and people should sue.

02:10:54.000 It's different than banning individuals just shutting the forum off.

02:10:57.000 I mean, they're scared of people's voices.

02:10:59.000 That is a good point.

02:11:01.000 Well, yeah, because Trump didn't shut the forum down, he just removed certain people.

02:11:03.000 Shutting the forum down might be okay.

02:11:05.000 Alright, let's see.

02:11:07.000 Akira Express Trucker says Republicans are not pro-2A.

02:11:09.000 They are pro-2A when it's politically convenient, but are the party that passes the legislation to control access.

02:11:15.000 Yep.

02:11:17.000 Let's just do... We'll do one more here.

02:11:18.000 Big Toe says... We'll do a couple more.

02:11:20.000 Turn to him the other cheek is not about violence, it's about insult.

02:11:24.000 A slap in the face.

02:11:26.000 Nuke the Ice Caps says, Not a fan of all the free money.

02:11:29.000 It's very hard to explain to desperate people that free comes with a lot of debt and consequences.

02:11:33.000 I tried to explain this.

02:11:34.000 I've had people say, yeah, but they're gonna give me money.

02:11:37.000 Idiocracy is now a documentary.

02:11:39.000 Mm-hmm.

02:11:39.000 Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for hanging out.

02:11:41.000 Thanks for the super chats.

02:11:42.000 Make sure to go to TimCast.com because we do have one more segment coming up for members only!

02:11:48.000 Yes!

02:11:48.000 And it'll be a little spicy, maybe.

02:11:50.000 We'll see how things play out.

02:11:51.000 But we're gonna be ramping up the amount of content we produce for members.

02:11:54.000 And I mean it.

02:11:55.000 I mean, like, I'm talking maybe hours worth of content every day at some point because we're gonna have fun videos.

02:12:01.000 We're gonna have vlog videos.

02:12:02.000 Some of the bonus segments we've done have already been 20 minutes.

02:12:05.000 So we're going to try and just do as much as possible to really make it worth your membership.

02:12:08.000 And we're also going to be eventually producing free content that will just appear on the website too.

02:12:13.000 So probably opinion pieces, some articles, maybe photos.

02:12:17.000 And then the real premium stuff will be members only.

02:12:19.000 Go to TimCast.com.

02:12:21.000 We are trying to get to a point where if we get enough members, then we will no longer have anything to worry about about censorship.

02:12:28.000 Now look, if YouTube bans us, a lot of people will probably never see our stuff again.

02:12:32.000 That's a fact.

02:12:34.000 But if we just have a core user base, then that's still good enough for us to keep working, then I'll accept that.

02:12:39.000 And that means if you guys really do like what we do and want to make sure you're getting it, TimCast.com.

02:12:44.000 And also, hopefully, if this time you buy your exclusive I Am A Gorilla t-shirt, it won't be a blackface version. 1.00

02:12:50.000 So I hope Teespring is taking care of that.

02:12:52.000 They said they are, and, you know, my respect for them getting quickly on this and trying to get the problem solved.

02:14:56.000 Gosh, Tim's whispering.

02:14:58.000 We've got footage of Luke Rutkowski getting raided by Alex Jones.

02:15:02.000 Play it!

02:15:03.000 That sounds inappropriate.

02:15:04.000 Can I use the restroom?

02:15:06.000 It's going to be up on TimCast.com for members only along with the lost episode.

02:15:12.000 You should do a picture.

02:15:14.000 Just a screenshot from the video of Luke getting woken up with a link to the website so people can find it easier.

02:15:20.000 And we'll post it, and so if you want to watch Alex Jones break into Luke's trailer and wake him up and say inappropriate things, so we'll have that as well.

02:15:29.000 Yeah, we've got a lot of stuff to come.

02:15:31.000 The Lost episode is the one that got pulled from YouTube.

02:15:33.000 Oh, yeah!

02:15:34.000 And so it does exist.

02:15:35.000 It is on BitChute. 1.00

02:15:36.000 You can watch it.

02:15:37.000 It exists.

02:15:37.000 But for a lot of people who missed it, it will be up on the site for members only.

02:15:43.000 But again, you can find it on BitChute by looking at the TimCast IRL channel because we archive all our stuff there as well.

02:15:48.000 So it is free, but we'll put it up in the members section.

02:15:50.000 So, ladies and gentlemen...

02:15:52.000 Make sure you check it out because before that show starts, we will have the exclusive footage of Alex and it'll be fun.
