The Gorilla is under attack! Someone is trying to sabotage the show and I will not stand for it. We have a special guest on the show this week, and it's not a good one.
00:02:24.000He's basically, what, telling people that they're like a virus?
00:02:26.000Well 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.
00:03:31.000Yes, 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.
00:03:37.000That'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!
00:03:42.000That's right, you buy a shirt, it's got a beanie on it.
00:03:44.000So 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.
00:04:18.000The 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.
00:04:53.000Now, 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.
00:05:02.000What they told me is that they believe this came from a third party that they outsourced to, and look, I respect Teespring.
00:05:44.000So some people said it was a printing error.
00:05:46.000I 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.
00:05:52.000How did they accidentally make the fists white and accidentally then make the face darker?
00:05:57.000Not only that, the color of shirt is gray.
00:06:00.000I don't off- we don't offer that in the Teespring store.
00:06:03.000It seems like somebody Purposefully altered the image and printed it on a shirt.
00:06:11.000Maybe someone thought it was a joke, and they printed it out for their friends, and then it accidentally got shipped out?
00:06:16.000Or 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.
00:06:33.000But 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.
00:06:39.000I think they did it because it would seriously hurt us.
00:06:42.000So 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?
00:08:27.000Somebody at the company, or through the company, did somehow.
00:08:30.000And so I just try to be nice and try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
00:08:33.000But 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.
00:08:41.000Because then we can guarantee this doesn't happen.
00:08:44.000Now, 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.
00:09:01.000If you find it funny, you know, so be it, whatever, they're sold, and a lot of people are probably gonna get them.
00:09:05.000Um, 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?
00:09:13.000I'm like, it's not supposed to be anything special.
00:09:15.000It's just, you watch the show, you like it, I'm a gorilla.
00:09:31.000I 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.
00:09:42.000And I'm like, hey, what's going on here?
00:10:11.000And they took down a lot of other stuff and they haven't been honest.
00:10:14.000But, you know, being, you know, Polish, being very hardheaded and stubborn, I'm still going to keep moving forward.
00:10:21.000And 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.
00:10:40.000So, 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.
00:10:55.000I'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.
00:11:24.000And, 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.
00:11:35.000I'm sure a lot of people would like to have that shirt.
00:11:37.000Now, 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.
00:11:43.000But considering some of the censorship we've seen from Teespring, I'll keep using them because they're integrated with YouTube.
00:11:51.000They actually are pretty good service.
00:11:52.000I 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.
00:12:29.000Yeah, as long as it's satirical, it's allowed.
00:12:32.000As long as it's Creative Commons, it's allowed.
00:12:35.000It was a new creation, clearly mocking the brand, and in no way sought to monetize off of those companies.
00:12:40.000Yeah, if I took the CNN logo and was just selling the CNN logo, then yes, you can make that argument.
00:12:46.000I 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.
00:13:00.000So the question of copyright infringement is, are you infringing on their market?
00:13:05.000So a famous story with Sargon of Akkad, Carl Benjamin, Lotus Eaters podcast, I always give a shout out to Carl.
00:13:11.000And 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.
00:13:24.000She sued him saying, oh, you just stole my content.
00:13:27.000And a bunch of people were like, yeah, dude, Carl, like you did, you're going to lose.
00:13:34.000Not only did he win, he won fees as well.
00:13:36.000She 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.
00:13:47.000The big question when it comes to the court is, are you infringing on their market?
00:13:51.000So like Luke said, if you just sell shirts that say CNN, then you're taking money away from CNN, who sells the same shirts.
00:13:57.000But if it says CNN and then sucks under it, CNN doesn't sell those shirts and CNN's fans wouldn't buy them anyway.
00:14:17.000It's also our logos, our own independent art.
00:14:20.000They 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
00:14:29.000and this happened a couple months ago and they still never responded to me.
00:15:12.000Right, they take the order, they ship it out, they make it, and all that stuff.
00:15:15.000We 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.
00:15:26.000Yeah, 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.
00:15:37.000And then I think for the shop we have on TimCast.com, I might just have to, like, maintain full control over this.
00:15:47.000You 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.
00:15:53.000This is probably the craziest thing to, like, look, that's why I think it's on purpose.
00:15:59.000The fact that they say, oh, you know, maybe it was a mistake.
00:17:41.000Well, that's shady that they told you it was someone else.
00:17:43.000No, I think they may have thought that was the case.
00:17:45.000What 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.
00:17:52.000And so I told them immediately, I was like, look, I was like, I got the package, I got the receipt, the font is different.
00:17:58.000And they were like, well, can you verify?
00:18:01.000And I was like, I'm not going to accuse one of the people who contracts the designs for me of lying to me.
00:18:06.000Like, we've gotten art from them before.
00:18:58.000But you know what happens is, I asked them for a retraction twice and they've ignored me.
00:19:03.000What happens is, Media Matters will put out a story saying, these channels broke the rules.
00:19:07.000And then they'll start sharing that article to try and get in Wikipedia, trying to get other outlets to write about it.
00:19:11.000Tim Pool, who's known for breaking the rules, blah, blah, blah, when it never happened.
00:19:15.000And 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?
00:19:22.000They 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.
00:19:33.000Giving an example of what voter fraud is, is not us asserting that widespread voter fraud caused anything to happen.
00:19:40.000And so they claimed we were pushing lies.
00:19:43.000They 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.
00:19:54.000But 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.
00:20:02.000And they said, oh, the ads got removed.
00:20:46.000I'm not taking heat for somebody walking around wearing that shirt and then them being like, ooh, look at the shirts he's selling.
00:20:52.000All 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.
00:21:00.000So 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.
00:21:12.000who consume your content now, which is absolutely insane.
00:21:33.000And 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.
00:21:43.000And I'm like, wait, wait, this doesn't represent me.
00:21:45.000I'll tell you, I'll tell you something funny.
00:21:46.000I had a discord for a while and I got rid of it because we kept getting raided.
00:21:49.000You know, people would come in and try and break the rules.
00:21:52.000You agree to the rules and they would come in and they would post insane garbage.
00:21:55.000And I'm like, dude, I'm not dealing with this.
00:21:58.000But 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.
00:22:30.000Because 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.
00:22:48.000And then clipped out my criticism and tried to make it seem like I was the one.
00:22:51.000So 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.
00:24:18.000Well, that's another argument about Section 230 that everyone's talking about.
00:24:23.000But 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.
00:24:35.000They have zero to little accountability at all for their grotesque lies that lead to tremendous human suffering.
00:24:43.000But yet, We have to be criticized for comments on our YouTube videos?
00:25:05.000And so the Babylon Bee said, Joe Biden asks National Guard to be patient until he can send them to Iraq.
00:25:11.000Well, they sleep in parking garage until you can send them to Iraq.
00:25:13.000So the reason I bring that up is there's a reason why they'll do everything in their power to get us taken down.
00:25:18.000Now if we play by the rules and we don't violate community standards or whatever, it's really difficult.
00:25:24.000Sometimes they take down channels arbitrarily, hoping they can get away with it.
00:25:28.000And then when there's a backlash, they put it back up.
00:25:31.000The 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.
00:25:42.000Or 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.
00:25:55.000But you can even go back to the Gulf of Tonkin incident.
00:26:31.000There 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.
00:27:54.000It was originally claimed by the NSA that a second Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred on August 4th as another sea battle.
00:28:00.000But instead, evidence was found of Tonkin ghosts, false radar images, and not actual North Vietnamese torpedo boats.
00:28:06.000In 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.
00:28:20.000The NSA claimed it did, and then they admitted in 2003!
00:28:22.000Well, it was a former, former guy, wasn't he?
00:28:51.000And, you know, Hanlon's razor, never attribute to malice that which can be explained through incompetence.
00:28:56.000Or Lyndon Johnson really wanted us into Vietnam.
00:28:58.000A lot of people wanted to say because they were afraid of the rusher and his secret war in cambodia and laos
00:29:04.000I mean when you look at the atrocities that were committed in our name
00:29:07.000Because of that single incident especially in vietnam the millions of people affected
00:29:13.000the millions of people still affected by agent orange and the chemical warfare that was
00:29:17.000Launched on the vietnamese people on innocent bystanders Holy freaking cow!
00:29:21.000The 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.
00:29:35.000It'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?
00:29:48.000To stop the spread of communism in Vietnam?
00:30:59.000I saw a photo, someone posted on Twitter, of people carrying just two bags running full speed.
00:31:04.000Because that was when they announced they were going to be erecting the Berlin Wall.
00:31:09.000And 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.
00:31:18.000And then someone posted a photo of the first person to die at the anti-fascist protection rampart.
00:31:25.000It's really funny about the anti-fascist protection rampart is that people, they weren't protecting anybody.
00:31:31.000The wall wasn't protecting East Germany.
00:31:34.000It was keeping the people in like a prison.
00:31:37.000And the first person to die was trying to escape.
00:31:39.000I read one story about a dude who, like, took a hot air balloon over it or whatever.
00:32:07.000And 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.
00:32:28.000And there were several times where we nearly annihilated the entire planet.
00:32:32.000You guys know that story about the guy in the submarine?
00:33:32.000And 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.
00:33:44.000Because, I mean, we're talking about thousands of nuclear weapons between Russia and the United States.
00:33:50.000They 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
00:33:58.000and now these are the same weapons Yeah, these are the weapons that now Joe Biden has that is
00:34:03.000fragile Quivering well shaking fingertips. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not
00:34:09.000super worried about this idea this, you know Oh, no now, you know Trump's got the nukes
00:34:19.000You have a button that could wipe out the entire world 10 times over and also other planets.
00:34:26.000That's too much power for one person to have.
00:34:28.000I 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.
00:35:56.000The 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.
00:36:04.000He forced the federal government to attack the executive branch like crazy.
00:36:09.000Yeah, our system's not perfect, but it's, you know, getting almost there.
00:36:13.000It'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.
00:36:41.000So 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.
00:37:07.000She's citing Burisma and the Ukraine scandal.
00:37:10.000And I believe she mentions Russia and China and the Bidens enriching their family.
00:37:14.000You 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.
00:37:23.000The Democrats actually filed for impeachment of Trump several times.
00:37:26.000In December of 2017, they introduced articles of impeachment that got 58 votes.
00:37:30.000It was shot down by almost everybody, but they really were trying to impeach Trump before he did anything.
00:38:21.000Well, they'll just try and copy their opponent and try and find a weak point or something.
00:38:24.000But 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.
00:38:30.000It's symbolic, just like most politics.
00:39:48.000Let's just say there was an explanation of some unfamily-friendly things that helped Kamala Harris, you know, move forward with her career.
00:39:54.000But they say that she, like, slept her way to the top.
00:40:05.000Well, to make them fight fires for a dollar an hour.
00:40:08.000So a lot of people don't realize this.
00:40:09.000Kamala 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.
00:40:19.000There's two things they don't realize.
00:40:21.000First, they weren't supposed to be released.
00:40:28.000We need people to fight fires for free.
00:40:31.000Look, 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.
00:40:38.000Telling them we're going to keep you in prison and then make you risk your lives in a wildfire is slavery.
00:40:44.000Was 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?
00:40:52.000What 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.
00:41:07.000You know nature of American prosecutors believing that they always have to win regardless.
00:41:15.000if the person who's being convicted is innocent or not innocent.
00:41:18.000That'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.
00:41:29.000And sadly, a lot of people choose career over doing the right thing.
00:41:33.000And a lot of those people are rewarded.
00:42:36.000Well, 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.
00:42:43.000You got to pretend to at least pander to them.
00:43:16.000It was driving people as hard as possible.
00:43:18.000It 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.
00:43:28.000But 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.
00:44:24.000You know, I can't even mention what she called him.
00:44:26.000She'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.
00:45:14.000But 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.
00:45:32.000Yeah, 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.
00:45:42.000And 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.
00:46:51.000From modernhealthcare.com, HHS freezes rule targeting community health centers and drug discounts.
00:46:58.000Now, that title alone probably doesn't say a whole lot to you.
00:47:00.000You're probably like, Tim, what is this story?
00:47:02.000This is a story about, essentially, Joe Biden signing an executive order that reverses Trump's rules to reduce the cost of EpiPens and insulin.
00:47:12.000Long story short, it would seem that Joe Biden is trying to make insulin and EpiPens more expensive.
00:47:17.000I'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.
00:47:27.000Do you guys remember that story about the guy who was on minimum wage or whatever, and he couldn't afford insulin?
00:47:32.000So he was, like, not buying enough, and then he died.
00:47:35.000And 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.
00:49:48.000That 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?
00:49:54.000Yeah, 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.
00:50:05.000It'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.
00:50:19.000And then their bills are lowered ten times what they were.
00:50:24.000Yeah, 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?
00:50:33.000Because ambulances are thousands of dollars!
00:50:35.000So 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.
00:50:52.000And so, it starts to subside a little bit, and I'm like, I don't know what this could be.
00:51:07.000Uber pulled up and I went to the hospital and turns out I had a kidney stone.
00:51:10.000It'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.
00:51:17.000So it's like an internal organ thing from your kidney and that's why it hurts.
00:51:21.000So 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.
00:51:28.000Like I had to go back several days later because I started getting hit by the pain again.
00:55:23.000And 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.
00:55:51.000And 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.
00:56:00.000So they're trying to make it tourist friendly.
00:56:03.000And this is where we make the cocaine!
00:56:07.000So, record cocaine production and the most increased amount of peace that Colombia has had in a very long time.
00:56:17.000So, a lot of amazing history, a very beautiful place.
00:56:31.000I 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.
00:56:42.000Sounds 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.
00:56:55.000They gotta spend six to eight years or whatever, go to medical school, spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:57:01.000That's even questionable whether you actually need all that schooling or if you just need the real-world ability to do it.
00:57:06.000I got a wisdom tooth pulled by this dude who didn't seem like he knew what he was doing.
00:57:10.000Anybody who probably went to school and still didn't really know what he was doing.
00:57:15.000So yeah, you can go to school and just kind of breeze your way through and still not know what you're doing.
00:57:19.000So it's weird that all you need is a piece of paper and then you can officially become a doctor.
00:57:23.000Obviously you've got to have a real ability, but A doctor, they don't study health and fitness necessarily, they just study medicine.
00:57:32.000So if you're a DO, a doctor of osteopath, you study everything that somebody needs to actually be healthy.
00:57:39.000If 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.
00:57:47.000So I think your question might be with DOs or with MDs.
00:57:49.000It's such a massive overhaul of the system that we need to do.
00:57:52.000If 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.
00:58:03.000It's not so easy, though, because you've got millions of jobs tied into that.
00:58:07.000And overhauling, that would mean terminating those jobs.
00:58:08.000It's a lot of parasitic jobs, but it's still jobs.
00:58:18.000You know, I guess the challenge is ignorance and ideology.
00:58:22.000If 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.
00:58:59.000Like 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.
00:59:35.000Get a checkup, check your blood levels.
00:59:37.000I'd like, so we, we, we started this segment talking about Joe Biden and he was rescinding this, uh, here's the tweet.
00:59:45.000Mary Vaught says Biden reversed Trump's executive order to reduce pricing for insulin and epinephrine.
00:59:50.000Democrats want higher insulin prices from Bloomberg government.
00:59:54.000Well, you get what you get when you vote for Joe Biden.
00:59:57.000But 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.
01:00:57.000The guy who advocates for higher taxes is wearing the mittens of someone who can't make them anymore because taxes destroy their business.
01:01:04.000I'd like to give a round of applause again.
01:01:06.000You 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.
01:01:15.000Zealotry 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.
01:01:24.000Federalist 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.
01:01:33.000People have been contacting me thinking they can get mittens, and actually they can't.
01:02:40.000While 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?
01:02:49.000But yet we're still supposed to be given a portion of our income if we could still magically earn it.
01:02:55.000If 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?
01:04:00.000If it means we're not paying for the blowing up of people in foreign countries, which I don't like.
01:04:04.000Yeah, 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.
01:04:17.000Yes, 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.
01:04:49.000There was even an adult website that paved the roads in the Northeast after a major snowstorm because the government was having trouble doing it.
01:04:59.000So, you know, there's a lot of stories of people coming to each other's needs, helping each other out without the
01:05:22.000You know the government's not even really that good at blowing up kids?
01:05:25.000Private security forces are way better at killing civilians.
01:05:28.000Well, 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?
01:06:31.000Yeah, when the government says we're going to be... Listen.
01:06:34.000You 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.
01:06:56.000Quick, print money to reduce their buying power so they don't actually get anything.
01:07:00.000If 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.
01:07:17.000Well, 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.
01:07:25.000Anyone 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.
01:07:49.000It'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.
01:08:06.000But 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.
01:08:18.000You 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?
01:08:27.000Yeah, 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.
01:08:33.000There's news stories with pictures of that stuff.
01:08:35.000But 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.
01:08:55.000It's so funny because I could make mittens and give them to you.
01:08:58.000But if I make mittens and sell them to you, government's like, hey, we want 35% of that.
01:10:46.000It'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.
01:10:55.000But Luke, you have these wonderful shoes and these pants and all these clothes and the goods.
01:11:26.000I'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.
01:13:18.000Yeah, 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.
01:13:36.000Yeah, and they're lecturing us about social justice and LGBTQ issues and about what's...
01:13:43.000There'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.
01:14:17.000And I'm like, you could make the exact same comic if you changed the races of the people who are looking at each other.
01:14:22.000Because all they've done is once they realized, people, workers of the world were actually kind of uniting.
01:14:28.000Not in a communistic way, but against the establishment.
01:16:07.000And then finally, like, push that story into their bubble, and then Google will start algorithmically feeding it, Facebook will start.
01:16:13.000But it's probably true that, like, if you go to r slash politics on Reddit, it is all left-wing agenda.
01:16:20.000It's like, Donald Trump is bad, Bernie Sanders is good.
01:16:23.000If 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.
01:16:41.000In fact, when I go to r slash all, no algorithm, it's just all the posts, there'll be like two or three posts.
01:16:47.000There'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!
01:17:18.000Well, 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.
01:17:36.000And 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.
01:17:48.000Like, can we not just be political all the time?
01:18:36.000Number eight, Biden press secretary Jen Psaki is not playing.
01:18:39.000When asked why Biden wasn't prioritizing Republican issues in the name of unity, she said, is unemployment insurance not a Republican priority?
01:18:46.000Are schools opening safely not a Republican priority?
01:23:27.000And 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?
01:23:35.000And I started live streaming through mobile.
01:23:36.000It was very, very, you know, preliminary.
01:23:54.000Yep, 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.
01:24:04.000So I met some lady who was like, you should meet this guy, you know, he's got 50,000 subscribers.
01:24:35.000Well 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.
01:24:52.000I'm saying your cell phone should have worked.
01:24:54.000But you think they created like a zone of dead space or something?
01:24:57.000And people were getting the crap beat out of them.
01:24:59.000The police officers literally brought in these huge tools and they were cutting the metal that people were tied to on the inside.
01:25:09.000People were just getting clubbed left and right.
01:25:11.000People were getting just thrown around, shoved around wildly.
01:25:14.000And I remember like, why can't I film this live?
01:25:18.000And I remember doing the DSLR footage.
01:25:21.000Josh Gordon-Levitt was actually there.
01:25:23.000I interviewed him right outside of the thing.
01:26:41.000Because 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.
01:26:55.000I went to vice and said hey look I'm still working.
01:26:58.000It'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.
01:27:08.000They 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?
01:27:19.000And then Google was like, okay, let us know what you want.
01:27:21.000And then I worked for Vice for a while, and then I went over for Disney, and then, you know, here we are.
01:27:25.000Do 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.
01:27:34.000Street construction, right outside the park.
01:27:36.000Across the street from, you know, Bank of America is right across the street from Zuccotti.
01:28:01.000I remember that the police would park their cars next to the park at like 3 in the morning and then just go Yeah.
01:28:07.000And then flash their lights on to people and then it was it was like I
01:28:12.000Think that what they were trying to do was like it's like it's it's a form of torture
01:28:15.000Yeah, the goal was to sleep deprive people and trick and like metric them but like force them into leaving
01:28:21.000I think there was officer Lombardo who literally wasn't it was at a guard at Gitmo literally there
01:28:28.000Three o'clock in the morning kicking people putting flashlights in their face
01:28:32.000Just 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.
01:28:41.000So I went on a 10-block walk, and he just started walking right beside me, just looking at me.
01:28:49.000Well, so there was hipster cop remember hipster. I remember hipster cop
01:28:52.000So I remember he was like Tim and he walked over and shook my hand. It's like I followed your streams
01:28:56.000It's really good stuff. I think you're being fair and I was like look if I was there for that. I remember
01:29:01.000Yeah, I was like if the cops are hitting somebody I'm gonna film it if the protesters are hitting some in a filament
01:29:04.000He goes, it's all we ask. I remember there was an undercover cop and people were like, hey, he's an
01:29:09.000undercover cop I'm like, wait, what's going on here?
01:29:48.000He 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.
01:32:31.000Well, you guys were struggling and they were like, no.
01:32:32.000I 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.
01:32:39.000So I just held onto his arm and he was trying to pull away and struggle.
01:32:42.000And then the cop ran up and grabbed us, grabbed me and pushed me away and then let the guy go.
01:34:02.000I 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.
01:34:11.000Those are the days, ladies and gentlemen.
01:34:12.000Those are the old Occupy days and something magical happened.
01:34:15.000You see the powers that be realized that people like Luke Rutkowski.
01:35:43.000I'm eating a gyro and Roseanne Barr runs up to me.
01:35:47.000It was such a weird feeling, but it was such a collective where there was such weirdness.
01:35:50.000It was like the internet exemplified when it was still free and it was still wild, but it was in real life.
01:35:57.000And 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.
01:36:03.000I loved it because it was such a random thing that just hit you upside the head.
01:36:08.000No 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.
01:36:18.000And that was the kind of V for Vendetta moment that lit it on fire.
01:36:23.000That 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.

01:37:40.000But we're gonna do a bonus segment tonight, probably.
01:37:45.000We are very close to the point where I'm really surprised, I'm really impressed, and I'm eternally grateful to everybody.
01:37:51.000Because, you know, just going through memberships, I'm like, dude, we're probably a week away from never having to worry about YouTube ever again.
01:37:58.000And like, honestly, Legitimately being like we should produce more for the website because the website is going to be way better and way freer and safer than YouTube so we can produce all the same content and so this is this is fantastic stuff so really really thank you.
01:38:12.000Mind you we're never going anywhere we're going to keep doing the shows on YouTube because there's a balance between the free and the members only stuff and so I want to make sure that the most pressing stuff will always be free for everybody fueled by ads and super chats and things like that.
01:38:25.000Tech 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.
01:43:08.000It does seem like they were going on copyright grounds, which means they shouldn't have, and you'll need a smarter and better provider.
01:43:14.000Well, they shouldn't have, number one, it doesn't make sense, and two, they hit other stuff that there's no reason to hit.

01:44:05.000Adam 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.
01:44:13.000There's one where it's like, you have to make a creature with your hand standing on the table.
01:44:17.000And if you take your hand off the creature dies.
01:44:47.000If 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?
01:45:09.000He doesn't know what the color identity is.
01:45:12.000So in Magic the Gathering, it's a card game.
01:45:14.000There are five colors, and each color represents what they call a color identity.
01:45:18.000The 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.
01:45:25.000Then you have green, which represents growth, so it's creatures and elves and forests.
01:45:29.000You have blue, which represents control, so it's illusions and manipulation.
01:48:37.000NuclearWinterGamer says, I hail from Saskatchewan, Canada, and sentiment of Western separation grows more and more the longer PM Aladdin sits in office.
01:49:16.000You scratch out the Timcats and put Teespring on it.

01:49:37.000I 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.
01:53:58.000Donald 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.
01:54:23.000If I was told by YouTube, you will be banned effective tomorrow, I would make the craziest video you've ever seen.
01:54:29.000And I would just, I'd be like, here's what we're gonna do.
01:54:32.000What we're doing now is, yeah, there's some things I can't say on YouTube, and it's only a couple things.
01:54:36.000It'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.
01:54:42.000But we can talk about all that clean and safe at TimCast.com.
01:54:49.000I'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?
01:54:56.000So 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.
01:55:05.000And finding ways to make sure we can always get you the real news and accurate information, while leveraging the resources we have.
01:55:11.000Let's be honest, we gotta choose our battles.
01:55:13.000Some battles were just going to be obliterated and totally destroyed and never be able to fight again if we decide to fight those battles.
01:55:20.000And just like you did, I started doing the same thing on wearechange.org.
01:56:08.000In 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.
01:56:15.000Instead, I would be surprised if they convict the guy.
01:56:17.000And then they take away everything from him and they say, you had your chance and you blew it.
01:56:22.000It reminds me of any superhero movie where the villain is like, give me this and I'll let you go.
01:56:26.000It's like, why should I trust the villain, you know?
01:56:54.000Gareth 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.
02:03:13.000I do think what they're doing with the Wynn community is a good thing, because it's effectively creating a decentralized Reddit.
02:03:19.000And so a lot of these banned communities are showing up.
02:03:21.000I 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.
02:03:29.000Harold Cole says, you should really check out Bunker Branding for t-shirt printing and sales.
02:04:12.000Brandon Tom says, you say what, what happened to turn the other cheek and
02:04:17.000then fault Republicans for doing nothing? What is the appropriate middle
02:04:20.000ground, if any? Well, when we're talking about turning the other cheek, I
02:04:23.000think we're referencing violence and stuff.
02:04:25.000You know, like, not engaging in the same tit-for-tat that's not resulting in anything.
02:04:29.000Impeaching Donald Trump wasn't a solution to anything, it was chaos.
02:04:32.000The problem with Republicans is they're not advocating for Republicans, or even Americans.
02:04:37.000Republicans aren't coming out there and being like, we're gonna propose a bill that will rescind these laws curtailing people's gun rights.
02:07:48.000I 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.
02:09:09.000pavraj 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.
02:09:40.000And it's like, people don't realize you're legally allowed to yell fire in a crowded theater.
02:09:57.000Even 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!
02:10:12.000Cuomo you're like he was a lawyer wasn't he it's no idea what he's talking about getting crushed by Cuomo
02:10:16.000It's a lawyer if I'm in a movie theater. I see someone scream fire in front of me
02:10:20.000I'm just gonna take a look. He doesn't say anything, but he says it again. I'm gonna kick his chair
02:10:28.000Christian 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.
02:10:36.000I don't think he's allowed to do that.
02:10:38.000I think you could file a suit right now.
02:13:14.000Literally, as I said, I'm a horrible drawer.
02:13:17.000If I have to draw them, I will, and I will personally send them out to you.
02:13:21.000The website is thebestpoliticalshirts.com.
02:13:24.000Keep an eye out for that, because no matter who's going to do something, I'm always going to find a way to get you the shirts that you want.
02:13:32.000Sign up on my email list on wearechange.org on the top right hand corner.
02:15:14.000Just a screenshot from the video of Luke getting woken up with a link to the website so people can find it easier.
02:15:20.000And 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.
02:15:29.000Yeah, we've got a lot of stuff to come.
02:15:31.000The Lost episode is the one that got pulled from YouTube.
