Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - State of Emergency Declared In KY Police Brace For Mass BLM Riots, FreedomToons Joins

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:16.000 a preemptive state of emergency was declared in Louisville Kentucky because

00:00:42.000 the AG is about to release information on whether or not the police who killed

00:00:47.000 Breonna Taylor will be indicted The story's rather complicated, but for those that aren't familiar, it was a no-knock raid.

00:00:53.000 They had a warrant, but they didn't have to knock, so they went in, and they got shot at first.

00:00:58.000 They fired back and they killed Breonna Taylor and this led to, it's a huge controversy.

00:01:03.000 The officers, I believe a couple have been placed on administrative leave, one has been fired, but now we're awaiting the decision as to whether or not they will be indicted.

00:01:11.000 And I think the reaction from the local jurisdiction, which is state of emergency, and a warning locking down the downtown area, blocking parking, I think we know exactly what's going to happen.

00:01:23.000 So we're going to talk all about this stuff.

00:01:27.000 I guess my warning to all of you is that we are in a new studio.

00:01:31.000 We have not yet installed the legit internet, so we are experiencing technical difficulties.

00:01:36.000 But thank you for hanging out anyway.

00:01:37.000 And we actually brought in an audio guy who fixed all the problems from the other day.

00:01:41.000 Look at that.

00:01:41.000 It's great, huh?

00:01:42.000 And we're also being joined by Freedom Tunes.

00:01:46.000 He has no name.

00:01:46.000 It's just my name is Freedom Tunes, honestly.

00:01:48.000 Yeah, just Freedom Tunes.

00:01:49.000 I mean, none of the audience would know my name, and if they did, they couldn't pronounce it.

00:01:52.000 It's one of those, you know?

00:01:53.000 Seamus.

00:01:55.000 Seamus McNamara Coughlin.

00:01:56.000 But let me tell you, I've gotten like Seamus Seamstress.

00:02:00.000 When you gave the warning, I thought you were going to warn people that I wasn't.

00:02:03.000 Like, I'm just warning you guys, this content might be offensive.

00:02:06.000 Yes.

00:02:06.000 I'm not that bad.

00:02:07.000 No, I'm really not.

00:02:08.000 You know what?

00:02:09.000 My stuff, obviously, I make it clear that I'm not left-wing.

00:02:12.000 I'm very vocal about my conservative perspective and I like to make jokes, but I wouldn't say I'm edgy.

00:02:17.000 You're not edgy?

00:02:18.000 I mean, I'm a little bit edgy, but I'm not bad.

00:02:20.000 You know what I mean?

00:02:22.000 I didn't accuse you of being edgy.

00:02:23.000 Well, the way you asked the question, it made me feel attacked.

00:02:27.000 I think you're cartoon edgy.

00:02:29.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:02:30.000 I'm cartoon edgy, but I don't get out there.

00:02:31.000 I don't think the stuff is really adult.

00:02:32.000 It's just stuff that would probably be rated PG on television.

00:02:34.000 Seamus, I was told adults aren't supposed to watch cartoons.

00:02:37.000 They probably are not.

00:02:38.000 I think these new Marvel movies are cartoons.

00:02:40.000 They basically are.

00:02:41.000 I mean, slightly better animated than Freedom Tune, slightly higher budget.

00:02:45.000 Into the Spider-Verse was basically a cartoon.

00:02:46.000 Oh, that was good.

00:02:47.000 Yeah, Into the Spider-Verse was very well animated, very nicely.

00:02:51.000 What are we talking about?

00:02:51.000 We were talking about Breonna Taylor.

00:02:54.000 It's like an emergency being declared, the cops are ready to come.

00:02:57.000 And I made it about me.

00:02:58.000 Yeah, you made it about you.

00:03:00.000 Look, this is what happens when you talk to other YouTubers, man. 0.60

00:03:02.000 White privilege.

00:03:03.000 I know, this is literally white privilege.

00:03:05.000 So, there's a bunch of other stories, too.

00:03:07.000 Actually, one of the officers involved, he's speaking out, saying that the good guys are being demonized and the bad guys are being, what do you say, canonized.

00:03:16.000 Is canonized the right word?

00:03:17.000 Lionized?

00:03:18.000 Well, no, I honestly think canonized is the right word because there's this sort of cult that's built up around every single person who's killed in a police shooting.

00:03:26.000 And part of the reason it's so complicated and really depressing is the cases we hear about from Black Lives Matter are sometimes a very clear and obvious example of police misconduct, and sometimes they are a very clear and obvious example of a police officer being justified, but they're all treated the same by one side of the political aisle.

00:03:42.000 But before we get into everything, there's a bunch of stories.

00:03:44.000 Like 1619?

00:03:45.000 Yes.

00:03:46.000 So we got a bunch of stories lined up, and then obviously we got to talk about the Supreme Court.

00:03:50.000 We've been weaning to talk about this thing with Jimmy Kimmel.

00:03:53.000 Oh my gosh.

00:03:54.000 I don't know who that other guy was.

00:03:55.000 Did he respond to your emails?

00:03:57.000 I didn't email him.

00:03:58.000 No, I say we were going to talk with Jimmy Kimmel.

00:03:59.000 Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:04:00.000 This thing about Jimmy Kimmel where he's like it was the Emmys. 0.86

00:04:03.000 Oh, so and this guy is just yelling at him for being white.

00:04:05.000 And he's like, clap.

00:04:06.000 And Jimmy's like, you know, clapping.

00:04:09.000 It's like really weird stuff I tweeted about.

00:04:11.000 I was like, is this what America wants?

00:04:12.000 Because evidently I don't think so.

00:04:14.000 I don't.

00:04:15.000 Dude, that's a Jeb Bush move.

00:04:16.000 He told him to clap and Jimmy listened.

00:04:18.000 He actually did.

00:04:19.000 He got a please.

00:04:20.000 So what you're saying is that if Jeb Bush was black, it would have worked. 0.60

00:04:23.000 It honestly might have. 0.69

00:04:24.000 White privilege fails you at some point.

00:04:25.000 I'll tell you, the problem with Jeb was that he was like, please clap.

00:04:28.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.62

00:04:29.000 If Jeb was like, clap, goddammit!

00:04:34.000 Jeb is an interesting figure, and a lot of it was his timidity, unfortunately.

00:04:37.000 He just was not prepared to go up against Trump.

00:04:39.000 Neither is Biden, but that's a whole other topic.

00:04:41.000 I can't believe a debate's really going to happen.

00:04:42.000 I think it's a lie.

00:04:43.000 Do you think it's going to happen?

00:04:44.000 I just released a cartoon about that today.

00:04:46.000 No, I think it's a lie.

00:04:47.000 Oh, oh.

00:04:48.000 Yeah, my cartoon was about it probably not happening.

00:04:50.000 Oh, I don't know.

00:04:51.000 I did a music video where Trump is singing to Biden.

00:04:53.000 How could it happen?

00:04:54.000 The debate?

00:04:55.000 Yeah.

00:04:55.000 Oh, that's a good question.

00:04:56.000 Yeah.

00:04:57.000 Joe's going to be sleeping.

00:04:58.000 I think what they're going to do is they're going to put a mask on Joe, like a coronavirus mask, and then they're going to have an impersonator speaking through a microphone.

00:05:04.000 You won't be able to see Joe's mouth moving, so they'll be able to pass it off as though he's saying whatever.

00:05:08.000 Joe's going to get involved in like a deep French fry deep fryer accident at a McDonald's, and he's going to be wearing like full body bandages.

00:05:15.000 And then it's you know, it's gonna you sound awfully young today Joe.

00:05:19.000 Yeah.

00:05:19.000 Well, come on, man All right.

00:05:22.000 All right.

00:05:23.000 All right.

00:05:46.000 We do the show Monday through Friday live.

00:05:47.000 Okay, I think I made my point.

00:05:48.000 Anyway, let's talk about this first story.

00:05:50.000 Check this out.

00:05:52.000 The cop who shot Breonna Taylor's boyfriend emails colleagues to say the good guys are demonized and the criminals are canonized as Louisville braces for AG's decision on whether to charge him and other officers over her death.

00:06:05.000 Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly wrote an email to more than 1,000 police officers Tuesday.

00:06:09.000 In an email, he defended his actions and the actions of the other officers on March 13th when Brenda Taylor, 26, was shot dead after the cops entered her apartment.

00:06:18.000 Mattingly said that Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and top police officials had failed all of us in epic proportions.

00:06:24.000 He also claimed that he's proof the city officials do not care about police.

00:06:28.000 Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron said he will soon decide whether charges will be brought against Mattingly and two other officers involved in the shooting, and I think we all know exactly what's going to happen.

00:06:38.000 They've declared a preemptive state of emergency.

00:06:40.000 They've apparently shut down the downtown area.

00:06:42.000 No parking, no parking garages or whatever.

00:06:45.000 And checkpoints?

00:06:46.000 There's like a radius?

00:06:48.000 Yeah, I think they know there's not going to be an indictment.

00:06:51.000 Yeah, well, so I'm not really familiar with the specifics of the Breonna Taylor case, but what I can say, which is, I think, something most Americans would have observed by this point, and it's really sad, is that it kind of doesn't matter what the facts are.

00:07:03.000 Black Lives Matter is going to lose their mind as long as there isn't an indictment. 0.94

00:07:06.000 I mean, we know that there was a mob that, like, surrounded and attacked Rand Paul for not saying her name, even though he wrote the bill named after her.

00:07:12.000 So it just seems as if— Which would ban no-knock raids.

00:07:14.000 Which would ban—and I am not a fan of no-knock raids either, so I'm sympathetic. 1.00

00:07:18.000 Towards her cause but I don't know as much about the specifics of the story as I'd like to I'm just commenting on the fact that We have seen based on the Michael Brown case for example that it doesn't actually matter if the person's innocent or not And so BLM has lost all of their credibility Which is really unfortunate because it would be good to have an advocacy movement for people who are brutalized or unjustly killed by the police Oh, yeah.

00:07:35.000 Yeah, you know, honestly, I don't know much about this either Tim Can you give us like a brief overview about the Breanna Taylor thing?

00:07:40.000 I heard she was involved in a drug some kind of drug deal Well, no, no, that, so, I mean, this, depending on who you ask, you're gonna hear different stories, but, uh, the general understanding I got from reading it is they were investigating, like, this house because I guess there was, like, a drug dealer who had parked in front of it or something like that.

00:07:56.000 I'm probably getting it all wrong, so forgive me, fact-check me.

00:07:59.000 Basically, they had a, they had a, they had a no-knock warrant.

00:08:01.000 They kick the door in.

00:08:02.000 The, Brandon Taylor's boyfriend sees like plain clothes dudes and he's like,

00:08:06.000 Oh, I'm, you know, I'm being attacked.

00:08:08.000 You know, they're breaking into my house.

00:08:09.000 So he fires and I think he hit one of the cops like in the leg, I think something like that.

00:08:13.000 So the cops fired back and a bunch of the bullets hit Brandon Taylor and she died.

00:08:19.000 That's really horrible.

00:08:19.000 And so now they're saying arrest the cops because the cops are criminals, and I'm kind of like, dude, if you say to someone, go do a thing, and then they go and do it, you can't then accuse them of being a criminal.

00:08:31.000 That's the problem.

00:08:32.000 So if you want to argue that the system is broken, well then, I look to Rand Paul, and Rand Paul is saying, you know, we're gonna ban no-knock raids, because that was the problem.

00:08:41.000 Yes.

00:08:42.000 Yeah.

00:08:43.000 I think there's an argument to be made, and this is probably the argument they're making, that the orders that those police officers followed were unjust orders, because you shouldn't just bang somebody's door down without them knowing who you are when you're fully armed.

00:08:55.000 I could see that.

00:08:56.000 But I do agree that it's a systemic problem, and I'm glad to see people like Rand Paul actually attempting to solve it, even if they're not getting the necessary or deserved credit for it.

00:09:04.000 Yeah, if a cop busts into a house, especially the wrong house, and the guy's armed, and the guy shoots the cop, no one's at fault.

00:09:11.000 I mean, if anything, the police organization was at fault for banging into the wrong house.

00:09:15.000 Yeah, but if the system is designed to function that way, and the cops are like, okay, we ask cops to do this job.

00:09:22.000 We say, we've set up rules, we want you to do this thing.

00:09:25.000 Then part of that system that we've created is, kick the door and go into the house and stop the criminal, and it turns out they got the wrong house or something, but they had a warrant, No.

00:09:32.000 That's the question, yeah.

00:09:33.000 you can blame the individual. No. Do you go off the chain and blame the chain of command? That's

00:09:37.000 the question, yeah. You literally blame the system and then Rand Paul says,

00:09:40.000 we're going to get rid of this thing because that was the problem here. Like file a civil

00:09:45.000 suit and get a bunch of money for it or something? Yeah, I'd have to think about it,

00:09:48.000 but I definitely hear what you're saying.

00:09:49.000 It's certainly a systemic problem, but again, you get into the question of whether or not following orders is a moral justification.

00:09:55.000 But that said, it's not as if these cops went into this situation thinking, we're just going to kill this innocent person.

00:09:59.000 They went into the situation thinking they were going to arrest somebody and threw no fault of their own.

00:10:02.000 It was a situation that got completely out of hand.

00:10:05.000 So yeah, I don't know.

00:10:06.000 I don't know.

00:10:07.000 I'd have to think about it, but I do hear what you're saying.

00:10:08.000 Well, there are going to be riots now.

00:10:10.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:10:11.000 Exactly.

00:10:11.000 Yeah.

00:10:12.000 Because that's the country we live in.

00:10:13.000 That's the country we kind of decided we wanted to live in for whatever reason.

00:10:15.000 This has not been thoroughly condemned enough.

00:10:19.000 People aren't really... Like, the media has been calling it this justified outrage ever since the Michael Brown riots.

00:10:23.000 Now they word it a little bit differently, but they say, like, riots are the language of the unheard, despite the fact that these riots disproportionately hurt the kinds of communities that the left claims to be advocating for.

00:10:32.000 Yes.

00:10:33.000 Yeah.

00:10:33.000 You think it's not enough people speaking out against it is the reason why it got here?

00:10:37.000 That could be part of it, also the fact that law enforcement was told to stand down in many instances.

00:10:41.000 It's not just about speaking out against it, it's about whether or not the government's going to do its job.

00:10:45.000 And again, I'm generally not a fan of government intervention, though I've certainly moved on some issues.

00:10:50.000 Point is, one of the things the cops should be there to do is to prevent your house or business from being burnt down, right?

00:10:56.000 I think we could all agree to that, but police were told to stand down in many places.

00:11:00.000 And so they couldn't do their job, and that's why we are where we are in many ways.

00:11:04.000 And we've been disincentivizing cops from doing their job for many, many years now.

00:11:07.000 We've been demonizing them.

00:11:08.000 And again, it's true.

00:11:09.000 Again, I mentioned earlier, I'm against no-knock raids.

00:11:11.000 I think there's a lot that can be done to improve our justice system and the way that policing is done and the way that we train officers.

00:11:16.000 But I don't know who would want to do that job anymore.

00:11:19.000 I really don't.

00:11:20.000 We've made it impossible for them.

00:11:22.000 And there's that, I don't know if you saw that viral video where the cop pulls up to the activist and he's like, you won!

00:11:26.000 I'm quitting!

00:11:27.000 I'm out!

00:11:27.000 Two weeks and I'm gone!

00:11:28.000 Oh my goodness.

00:11:29.000 Yeah.

00:11:29.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:11:30.000 And then what happens to these communities once there are no longer police officers in them?

00:11:32.000 You think everybody just gets together and holds hands and plays kumbaya?

00:11:35.000 No, they get rifles.

00:11:36.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:11:37.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:11:38.000 I mean, and we're going to see some interesting things pop up.

00:11:41.000 I'll tell you this.

00:11:42.000 When the police leave, there's going to be a power vacuum and it's not going to be filled by social workers.

00:11:47.000 Who's it going to be filled by?

00:11:48.000 I don't know, but not social workers.

00:11:50.000 Maybe gangs?

00:11:51.000 Yeah, private security, rich people.

00:11:54.000 Ideally private security.

00:11:56.000 Well, so you're going to have the wealthiest people having no laws held against them.

00:12:01.000 Yeah.

00:12:01.000 And maybe that's the real goal here.

00:12:03.000 Convince poor people to riot and call for defunding the police because you can hire these security companies to walk around you. 0.92

00:12:10.000 And I'll tell you this, man, security guards are willing to break the law to protect their clients.

00:12:14.000 Interesting.

00:12:15.000 Absolutely. So we've talked about this in the past and I've actually gotten a bunch of emails from people who've worked

00:12:21.000 security and Some of these security guards the super high tier ones that

00:12:25.000 get paid six figures. Yeah, they will shove a cop to the ground

00:12:28.000 Wow, yeah, so they'll surround their client and then if there's a cop who's like hey get on my way

00:12:32.000 They these security guards sunglasses earpieces. We'll just keep pushing the cops

00:12:37.000 Wow.

00:12:37.000 And the cop will try and stop the security guard.

00:12:39.000 They don't care.

00:12:39.000 You know why?

00:12:40.000 These rich people, they got the best lawyers in the world.

00:12:42.000 They're going to take care of this guy and his family.

00:12:44.000 He's got nothing to worry about.

00:12:46.000 Yeah, that's interesting.

00:12:47.000 That's the world they're trying to create.

00:12:48.000 Yeah, I could see that.

00:12:49.000 Whether or not it's intentional, you also get the idea that with something like social workers.

00:12:52.000 I mean, who are the social workers going to be most often used for?

00:12:55.000 Probably people in areas where there isn't violent crime.

00:12:58.000 You're only going to send a social worker out if there's a dispute somebody wants settled that shouldn't require the use of a gun.

00:13:02.000 So you're not going to be calling social workers when somebody breaks into somebody's house or when somebody's threatening to kill somebody or threatening to rape them.

00:13:07.000 You're going to call social workers when there are much more peaceful disputes between neighbors that need to be settled, which I would agree police should not be involved with.

00:13:13.000 But that means, in parts of the country, that are more socio-economically advantaged, there's going to be another tier of policing where they're mostly going to get all of the social workers and the impoverished communities are just going to get the regular old police anyway.

00:13:25.000 So we're just going to make a two-tier system.

00:13:27.000 So when they talk about defunding the police, they keep saying things like, we're going to have social workers who come out and help people.

00:13:34.000 Okay, what are these social workers empowered to do? 0.98

00:13:37.000 That's also a good question.

00:13:38.000 I have no clue.

00:13:39.000 And who decides whether or not you get a social worker or a cop?

00:13:42.000 Can they make arrests?

00:13:43.000 Yeah.

00:13:44.000 Can they cuff people?

00:13:45.000 Do they have batons?

00:13:47.000 So I've talked about maybe like a civil guard.

00:13:50.000 So there are some countries that have civil guards.

00:13:52.000 They walk around with batons.

00:13:53.000 They have the ability to like issue fines and they have a baton.

00:13:56.000 They can crack you over the head with if you attack them.

00:13:58.000 They can defend themselves.

00:14:00.000 But they don't have guns.

00:14:01.000 Then you actually have the police force, which are armed, driving around in cars, and so there's, like, a difference.

00:14:05.000 If someone is gonna get, like, a ticket or a citation, Civil Guard comes out and says, hey, you know, wag my finger at you.

00:14:10.000 I guess we kind of have that with meter maids. 1.00

00:14:12.000 But the difference, I guess, for us is, I think we've gone through that process already, and I was thinking about this.

00:14:17.000 We had a period where we had officer-friendly.

00:14:20.000 And then criminals started attacking and killing cops.

00:14:23.000 And so the cops were like, hey, it looks like we need weapons.

00:14:26.000 Then they start making sure the cops are all armed beyond just, you know, even a gun or a baton.

00:14:31.000 They get alternate means.

00:14:33.000 They get tasers, they get pepper spray.

00:14:34.000 And so now they have like a Batman utility belt.

00:14:36.000 They walk around with these different options and they have to be aware.

00:14:39.000 There have been instances where they've gone for their taser, but grabbed their gun on accident because it's like a split second and they panic.

00:14:44.000 There was that viral incident years ago where this dude, I don't remember the guy's name, he was being arrested.

00:14:51.000 It was a BART station, which is the Bay Area Rapid Transit, I think it's called.

00:14:56.000 And they pinned this guy down and they were like, tase him!

00:14:59.000 And the guy pulls out his gun and puts it in his back and pulls the trigger right away.

00:15:03.000 And people were watching it.

00:15:06.000 So these problems have happened, and we talk about defunding the police, and we talk about bringing in social workers, and then what do we get?

00:15:12.000 You can watch any one of these videos where... Did you see the video that went viral where the guy has a knife and he's approaching the cop?

00:15:19.000 And the cop's like, don't do it!

00:15:20.000 No, no!

00:15:20.000 And the cop shoots him several times.

00:15:22.000 He gets up.

00:15:23.000 Then he walks over to... No, he didn't have a knife.

00:15:26.000 He walks over after getting shot several times, grabs another cop by the neck, and grabs his gun.

00:15:30.000 The cop on the ground is screaming, he's going for my gun!

00:15:32.000 He's got my gun!

00:15:33.000 And then the cop whose body camera's on aims and then bang, right in the head, like a hero.

00:15:38.000 Let's say, what would you expect?

00:15:40.000 What happens?

00:15:41.000 That was a call for a mental distress thing.

00:15:43.000 So you get a guy and they're like, he's unwell, he's like, he's panicked and he's delusional.

00:15:47.000 Social worker comes out and the guy jumps on the social worker, choke hold, kills social worker.

00:15:52.000 You send, so okay, two social workers, right?

00:15:55.000 Maybe, because there were, you know, you two cops, okay, let's send out two social workers. 1.00

00:15:59.000 Okay, they jump on the back of the guy, choke hold, strangling the person to death.

00:16:02.000 The other social worker is hitting him, saying, stop, stop, please.

00:16:06.000 I think the idea is a cop and a social worker.

00:16:08.000 That's the team.

00:16:09.000 That's a good idea.

00:16:10.000 I think that, yeah, yeah.

00:16:11.000 I mean, that would definitely work better than any of the alternatives we've discussed,

00:16:13.000 but I don't even know if that straightforward policy has been proposed by anybody

00:16:16.000 saying we need to defund the police.

00:16:17.000 I'm sure they all have their own different ideas.

00:16:19.000 The people who are saying defund the police haven't given us any real-

00:16:21.000 Exactly. Propositions.

00:16:22.000 Exactly.

00:16:23.000 And then everyone else is like, just get rid of all of them.

00:16:25.000 Just abolish the police outright.

00:16:27.000 We'll be fine with them.

00:16:27.000 You know, they're just protecting private property and capital.

00:16:30.000 I love the Marxist analysis there.

00:16:31.000 Right, right, right.

00:16:32.000 And I love, you see the video in Milwaukee where they went to the guy's house and were like harassing him for hours and then he brandished a shotgun.

00:16:39.000 Then they went to the police and they snitch on the guy.

00:16:42.000 And then the cops come and they'll start cheering for the police.

00:16:45.000 Yeah.

00:16:46.000 You can't trust they actually want to get rid of the police.

00:16:49.000 If the police don't serve them, then get rid of the police.

00:16:52.000 I hope you guys are ready to live in a world based on this kind of morality policing, where they dismantle and rebuild community policing.

00:17:01.000 Exactly.

00:17:01.000 You know, I wonder how long it's going to take for the left to start talking about gun control again, too.

00:17:05.000 They kind of tried after the Kyle Rittenhouse thing a little bit, but I think they knew it wasn't going to fly just because of how obvious it is you need to be armed.

00:17:10.000 Joe Biden tweeted it!

00:17:11.000 Did he really?

00:17:12.000 He tweeted, it's time to ban weapons of war and assault weapons.

00:17:14.000 Tim, did he tweet it or did someone who could finish the sentence tweet it for him?

00:17:17.000 No, no, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

00:17:20.000 The digital avatar, titled Joe Biden, presented a published message for us, who knows where it came from, from the ether.

00:17:27.000 No, this is literally we are in the cave and the shadows on the wall are Joe Biden's tweets.

00:17:33.000 With the ability to print guns, I think this whole gun control thing is like out the window.

00:17:37.000 It's nonsense at this point.

00:17:39.000 That technology is only going to improve.

00:17:41.000 And it's not just that.

00:17:41.000 It's not just the fact that it's going to become impossible to regulate firearm ownership and production.

00:17:44.000 It's the fact that people now see the importance of owning a weapon.

00:17:48.000 They see how dangerous things have gotten and the fact that mobs are not very nice and they form very readily in this country at this point in time.

00:17:53.000 And they're often justified and apologized for by the media.

00:17:55.000 So why wouldn't you want a gun?

00:17:57.000 Yeah, and that's what we saw in the Omaha story, which we talked about the other day.

00:18:00.000 You saw that story, the small business owner?

00:18:03.000 Which one?

00:18:04.000 So this guy, Jake Gardner, they're riding down an Omaha, smashing up the windows.

00:18:09.000 His dad comes out, who's like 70, and he's telling these guys back off, shoves one of them.

00:18:13.000 Someone decks him.

00:18:14.000 So Jake Gardner runs over, and he's like, yo, who did that?

00:18:16.000 They start threatening him.

00:18:18.000 So he pulls up his shirt to show his weapon.

00:18:19.000 He goes, don't do it.

00:18:20.000 He's backing away.

00:18:21.000 Don't do it.

00:18:22.000 They attack him.

00:18:23.000 He pulls out the gun, he fires two warning shots.

00:18:25.000 They jump off and run away.

00:18:27.000 Then this other dude jumps on his back and starts choking him out.

00:18:29.000 And he says, for 18 seconds, he was being choked out.

00:18:33.000 And he was yelling, get off me.

00:18:34.000 He switches the gun to his left, puts it over his shoulder, bang. 1.00

00:18:37.000 Kills the dude. 0.97

00:18:38.000 The DA, it's all on video, like this dude was knocked to the ground.

00:18:41.000 He was trying to retreat.

00:18:42.000 He was saying, don't do it back.

00:18:43.000 You know, don't do it, get away.

00:18:45.000 And then he got attacked while he was on the ground.

00:18:47.000 The DA said, clear cut self-defense.

00:18:49.000 And then the mob came and he said, okay, special prosecutor, manslaughter.

00:18:54.000 That's so insane.

00:18:55.000 It's depressing how political it is.

00:18:56.000 They said that because he was warning them to get away from him as he was retreating, that was a terroristic threat.

00:19:02.000 What?!

00:19:03.000 Yep. 0.91

00:19:03.000 It is a terrorist- yeah, he just has this like crazy radical political view he's advocating for with violence, which is do not attack me on the streets. 0.91

00:19:10.000 Yes. 0.99

00:19:11.000 How insane.

00:19:11.000 And then we have the story- I love this.

00:19:13.000 The New York Times published this.

00:19:15.000 It was like, protesters sometimes take more confrontational approach.

00:19:20.000 I love those understatements.

00:19:21.000 Right, right, right.

00:19:22.000 But wait, wait, here's the best part.

00:19:23.000 The story was literally they went to someone's house who had an American flag and screamed they were going to burn their house down unless they remove the flag right now.

00:19:30.000 They said, we will come back and burn your house down. 0.97

00:19:32.000 And I'm just like, a peaceful protest became confrontational today when they threatened to burn down the home of somebody who had an American flag.

00:19:39.000 Wait, what was the exact wording again?

00:19:41.000 A slightly more confrontational approach?

00:19:44.000 They called it a confrontational approach or something like that.

00:19:47.000 Confrontational!

00:19:48.000 Yes, I love it!

00:19:49.000 That is one way of putting it, yeah.

00:19:51.000 So they're desperately trying to avoid—look, the peaceful protest message, right?

00:19:58.000 Unfortunately, Black Lives Matter and Antifa have done everything in their power to take them off of that message.

00:20:04.000 Joe Biden was desperately trying to say, like, Yeah.

00:20:07.000 Of course.

00:20:08.000 i'm not a socialist you know blah blah blah and then uh... they started writing again

00:20:13.000 so the new york times can't ignore the fact that the riots are backfiring

00:20:16.000 and so they're like well well they're not peaceful they're just confrontational

00:20:20.000 of course that's the difference just a little confrontational

00:20:23.000 Confrontational against people who didn't confront them first.

00:20:27.000 You know, you might call that threatening.

00:20:29.000 You might call that threatening.

00:20:30.000 Confrontation is great.

00:20:31.000 It's good.

00:20:32.000 And it's an important part of what we do.

00:20:33.000 Like if we don't confront each other, it's going to be boring.

00:20:35.000 Yes, man.

00:20:36.000 All the time.

00:20:36.000 So, but violent, you know, there's difference between confronting someone in combat, you know, being combative and being confrontational are completely different.

00:20:44.000 You can be diplomatically confrontational.

00:20:46.000 You can confront someone without threatening to burn their house down.

00:20:49.000 Do you guys remember when Greta Thunberg said she wanted to put the politicians up against the wall?

00:20:53.000 What?!

00:20:53.000 Greta said she wanted... I had no idea.

00:20:56.000 That sounds like a meme.

00:20:57.000 I love your reaction to this because it's clear that, like, why this story got so big.

00:21:03.000 But yes, she was giving a speech and she was like, if they don't listen to us, we're going to put the politicians up against the wall.

00:21:09.000 That's hilarious.

00:21:10.000 It's a figure of speech.

00:21:11.000 It's a figure of speech in Swedish.

00:21:12.000 Oh, I know.

00:21:13.000 So wait, wait.

00:21:13.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:21:15.000 We all know the figure of speech in American English of putting someone against the wall.

00:21:19.000 Yeah.

00:21:19.000 It's like a reference to, like, the commies.

00:21:20.000 Yeah.

00:21:21.000 The firing squad. 1.00

00:21:22.000 Commies and fascists. 0.96

00:21:23.000 In Sweden, it's a reference to taking someone by the shoulder and wagging your finger at them up against the wall.

00:21:29.000 Oh, man.

00:21:29.000 That poor girl.

00:21:31.000 That poor girl. 1.00

00:21:33.000 Look at me.

00:21:33.000 I'm jumping to conclusions and believing fake news.

00:21:35.000 So she said it.

00:21:35.000 It's a language thing.

00:21:37.000 She said it in, like, Everybody freaks out.

00:21:40.000 Yeah.

00:21:40.000 They're like, oh, she just came out and said, and she did this op-ed that was like very far left, like SJW editarian stuff.

00:21:47.000 Like we got, we must end white cis heteronormative patriarchy.

00:21:50.000 You know, how dare you? 0.95

00:21:51.000 Blah, blah, blah.

00:21:52.000 And, uh, and then she said, we're going to put them against the wall.

00:21:55.000 And Americans were like aghast. 1.00

00:21:59.000 Yeah.

00:21:59.000 She came out and immediately apologized.

00:22:00.000 You know, the first thing I did was I reached out to someone who was fluent in Swedish and I said, what does it mean to put someone against the wall?

00:22:05.000 And he says, to hold them accountable.

00:22:07.000 That's it.

00:22:08.000 And I was like, is that a reference at all to like, you know, gulags and firing squads?

00:22:11.000 No, no.

00:22:12.000 It's like, you know, it's like when you're, when you're yelling at someone and you push them up against the wall and you're like wagging your finger at them.

00:22:17.000 And I kind of feel like, are you downplaying that?

00:22:20.000 Does it still come from up against the wall?

00:22:23.000 Because it can, you know what I mean?

00:22:25.000 Hold someone accountable.

00:22:26.000 Okay, well let's say you had a subversive who was trying to overthrow your revolution. 0.99

00:22:31.000 So you held them accountable by putting them up against the wall and putting a bullet in their head, right? 0.99

00:22:36.000 Yeah. 0.96

00:22:36.000 Could that still be the derivative, like the root of where the phrase came from? 0.96

00:22:40.000 I have no idea.

00:22:41.000 It would depend on when the phrase got created because once photographed, Uh, photography became, you know, viable.

00:22:48.000 Then you could actually see an image of someone being pushed against a wall.

00:22:51.000 And that, those images are burned in our brains.

00:22:53.000 Yeah.

00:22:53.000 Before the imagery, maybe it was just a long-standing phrase.

00:22:56.000 Yeah.

00:22:57.000 Yeah.

00:22:57.000 I have no idea.

00:22:58.000 All that matters is she did not mean she wanted to line up politicians and execute them one by one if she didn't get her revolution. 1.00

00:23:05.000 That poor girl. 1.00

00:23:06.000 That's horrible.

00:23:07.000 What a misunderstanding.

00:23:08.000 My goodness.

00:23:09.000 Yup.

00:23:10.000 So, uh, we have a funny story as it pertains to defund the police.

00:23:13.000 Alyssa Milano.

00:23:14.000 Oh boy.

00:23:15.000 She called the cops! 1.00

00:23:17.000 She's tweeted kind of a lot about defunding the police and she like apparently tweeted out a petition telling people like join me in defunding the police and hashtag defund the police and then when a when a when a small teenager was near her neighborhood simply shooting squirrels with an air gun which is kind of weird I mean like that but anyway You didn't do that, Tim?

00:23:38.000 You didn't go around killing squirrels in your neighborhood?

00:23:41.000 Is an airsoft gun gonna hurt a squirrel?

00:23:43.000 Oh, was it an airsoft gun?

00:23:45.000 I know BB guns are sometimes called airguns.

00:23:47.000 So it was just airsoft.

00:23:49.000 It was an airsoft, right?

00:23:51.000 You can take its eye out.

00:23:53.000 They say airgun.

00:23:54.000 You never actually know.

00:23:55.000 Okay, if they're saying airgun, that could be like a .22 pellet bright barrel.

00:24:00.000 I mean, I think that is, because apparently she heard the shots and she got scared.

00:24:04.000 Yeah.

00:24:05.000 And I don't think an airsoft gun would make a loud enough noise.

00:24:09.000 Like little plastic pellets.

00:24:11.000 Yeah, probably not.

00:24:12.000 Why was he shooting squirrels?

00:24:14.000 Or maybe she heard the noises of the squirrels screaming out in agony, and that's what scared her.

00:24:19.000 I think we should keep an eye on this kid, you know what I mean?

00:24:22.000 Yeah, no, I hear that.

00:24:23.000 We should call a social worker for him.

00:24:25.000 Well, I mean, quite literally they should have.

00:24:27.000 Well, no, that is a problem because the kid had an air gun. 0.96

00:24:30.000 So she calls the cops, and now people are calling her a hypocrite because she's all about defunding the police, right? 1.00

00:24:36.000 And this was a kid who was shooting squirrels. 0.94

00:24:39.000 Which is really weird.

00:24:40.000 I don't know.

00:24:40.000 I mean people know it's kind of a contextual thing It's like if you were if you were hunting small game in the woods with an air gun That wouldn't be weird, but like I guess he is just going through his neighborhood Like I guess she's shooting squirrels with an air gun is not totally unheard of or like crazy But to do it in your neighborhood is maybe kind of a weird thing to do yeah I don't know if it was in his neighborhood apparently he was like walking around various properties That's pretty weird.

00:25:01.000 Yeah, that's pretty weird That's so weird.

00:25:03.000 I'll tell you what, man.

00:25:05.000 Do you think she was justified in calling the police if she heard a loud shot and saw somebody carrying a long gun?

00:25:08.000 Yes.

00:25:09.000 Yeah, that's a good question.

00:25:11.000 It depends on what kind of air gun we're talking here.

00:25:12.000 If it was really obvious it was a toy, then maybe not.

00:25:17.000 I definitely understand it, especially if she didn't know the parents.

00:25:19.000 But a situation like that can get out of hand.

00:25:21.000 And if you're against police intervention in virtually everything, and you think folks need to be solving their problems on their own, obviously there's a bit of hypocrisy there.

00:25:30.000 I'll be fair to her though.

00:25:31.000 So she has this tweet where when she was talking about defunding the police She posts a photo of an MRAP and she says we've militarized the police.

00:25:38.000 Hmm So could it be that I think I agree with that by the way, right I do too I do too.

00:25:44.000 So that's why you know, I want to I want to make sure I'm being fair to Alyssa Milano And it's not I I think yeah I think she was justified in calling the cops if she's a high-profile individual and someone's walking around with a weapon Yeah.

00:25:54.000 And I think it's not necessarily hypocritical to say that police have been militarized in many areas they shouldn't have been.

00:25:59.000 And then to want to call a couple sheriffs to come and deal with someone walking around your property who's armed with a long gun.

00:26:04.000 Yeah, I think that's fair.

00:26:05.000 The bigger problem with this story is how defund the police doesn't mean anything.

00:26:08.000 Defund the police.

00:26:09.000 Defund the place because what it sounds like is I don't like the way that guy runs

00:26:13.000 So I want to take his shoes away well to punish him and make him and somehow that's gonna make him a better runner

00:26:18.000 Well defund the cop right exactly And I think the talking point you used to hear was that we

00:26:23.000 need to train the police more properly or better Which is something I would agree with I don't know how that's

00:26:28.000 compatible with defunding the police exactly I saw my police one of my best buds

00:26:34.000 He's a he's a former police officer, and he also served in the military in both Iraq and Afghanistan

00:26:40.000 So he told me, and again this is his experience, this is anecdotal, but I mean he told me based on his experience and how well he was trained with a firearm, most police officers were not that great a shot and didn't train with their handguns often enough.

00:26:54.000 I've heard that.

00:26:54.000 Yeah.

00:26:55.000 So I was actually told something really scary once in New York by somebody with, I'll just call it a source who had knowledge of the NYPD.

00:27:03.000 They didn't work for the NYPD.

00:27:04.000 They worked in a legal capacity and they had done litigation with the police.

00:27:08.000 They said this.

00:27:09.000 They're like, you ever see Fight Club?

00:27:10.000 No.

00:27:11.000 You've never seen Fight Club?

00:27:11.000 It's been spoiled for me though, so.

00:27:13.000 That's fine, it's fine.

00:27:14.000 There's a scene where the main character, I guess Edward Norton's character, we call him Jack, He's on a plane and he's explaining how he works as like this insurance, like cost prevention or whatever is, I don't know, cost analysis guy.

00:27:26.000 He said, if the cost of the lawsuits are less, wait, basically the idea is if lawsuits are more expensive than the actual, or no, They won't recall a car if it kills people, if they can save money.

00:27:41.000 That's the gist of it.

00:27:42.000 Yes, exactly.

00:27:43.000 So I'm like, I'm forgetting the formula and I'm trying to say it, I can't do it.

00:27:46.000 But the general idea was this.

00:27:47.000 So I was talking to this guy and he said, you ever seen Fight Club?

00:27:50.000 And I was like, for sure.

00:27:51.000 And he goes, okay, if the cost of training police is more expensive than the cost of the lawsuits, they don't train the police.

00:27:58.000 Wow.

00:27:58.000 So when the cops go out, because he's like, how often do cops actually use their firearms?

00:28:03.000 Rarely.

00:28:04.000 Very rarely.

00:28:05.000 So if they're going to train every single cop properly and have them re-up and do all the stuff and they rarely ever use the gun, that seems like a big waste of money for the city.

00:28:14.000 Now, if they go off and they have to use it and they fire randomly because they don't know how to actually use it and they hit a bunch of people, how much we got to pay?

00:28:20.000 Training all the cops could cost $50 million.

00:28:22.000 The lawsuits cost $30.

00:28:23.000 We don't train the cops.

00:28:24.000 That's fascinating.

00:28:25.000 That's what I'm saying, it's fascinating.

00:28:26.000 I can't confirm or deny that, but it's certainly interesting.

00:28:27.000 for the police seems to explain it like litigation.

00:28:29.000 That's what I'm saying, it's fascinating.

00:28:30.000 I can't confirm or deny that, but it's certainly interesting.

00:28:33.000 I know that a number of my uncles were police officers on the south side of Chicago.

00:28:40.000 And one thing they would complain about was the fact that defense attorneys will also 0.99

00:28:44.000 tell their clients in many circumstances to just file a complaint against a police officer,

00:28:48.000 whether or not it's valid, because it can be easier to get them out of trouble.

00:28:51.000 And if you get enough of your clients to accuse enough police officers, then the accusations start to build up and each accusation becomes more credible and it's much easier for you as a defense attorney or a criminal defense attorney to do your job.

00:29:04.000 Think about activists that do that.

00:29:06.000 It's like, hey, accuse that guy of whatever so that we can get him fired.

00:29:09.000 Exactly.

00:29:09.000 Take his job away, destabilize the department.

00:29:12.000 Yeah, like the Supreme Court.

00:29:14.000 Yeah, so there's a viral tweet where they're talking about the Supreme Court and someone said something like, 25% of the Supreme Court have credible accusations against them.

00:29:23.000 Yeah, what does credible mean in this context?

00:29:25.000 And I'm like, I accuse you of stealing my orange.

00:29:30.000 Good sir, I harumph!

00:29:31.000 And that's actually true, I did steal an orange earlier.

00:29:34.000 Dirty. 0.99

00:29:34.000 Thief. 0.99

00:29:36.000 You're a thief. 1.00

00:29:36.000 Yeah, no, it's insane. 1.00

00:29:37.000 Well, so you confess.

00:29:39.000 No, but the point is, I can accuse you of anything.

00:29:42.000 Sir, I accuse you of TPing a tree in front of my house.

00:29:45.000 And you're like, what? 0.99

00:29:46.000 That's ridiculous. 0.99

00:29:47.000 It doesn't matter. 0.98

00:29:48.000 Yeah.

00:29:48.000 Yeah, well, that's accused you.

00:29:50.000 One problem I think is that people that do false accusations, they don't get in much

00:29:54.000 trouble afterwards.

00:29:55.000 I mean, they might get in a little, but like if someone falsely accuses you of murder and

00:29:58.000 you have to go through the ringer and then it turns out it was wrong.

00:30:01.000 I don't get charged for murder.

00:30:02.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:30:03.000 I don't have to face the punishment.

00:30:04.000 Nah, man.

00:30:05.000 well and that's the thing a part of its complicated is like when you look at

00:30:07.000 christine blaise a for example when i made my comment when i'm not trying to get out is

00:30:12.000 that she was necessarily lying but the evidence really does not

00:30:15.000 hold up what she's saying it's possible she was confused as possible she

00:30:19.000 didn't have ill will but the people who are running

00:30:21.000 with it were clearly running at with it for reasons of political convenience

00:30:24.000 now i'm an now

00:30:26.000 You don't think so?

00:30:27.000 Dude, she said she was scared to fly.

00:30:30.000 And then she was asked, like, you flew to these island vacations.

00:30:33.000 He's like, yes.

00:30:33.000 So you think she was just lying?

00:30:35.000 My personal opinion?

00:30:36.000 Um, yeah.

00:30:38.000 Okay, yeah.

00:30:38.000 I just want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but the point is the accusations against Kavanaugh held no water.

00:30:42.000 Listen, it's amazing how many people are scared to just say she's a liar.

00:30:46.000 Conservatives, for the most part, have no problem doing it.

00:30:48.000 But it's like, come on, dude.

00:30:50.000 30-year-old allegation.

00:30:50.000 She didn't know where it was.

00:30:51.000 She didn't know how she got there.

00:30:52.000 She had no witnesses.

00:30:53.000 Nothing backed her up.

00:30:54.000 No, I agree.

00:30:54.000 I agree with all that.

00:30:55.000 No one agreed.

00:30:56.000 Even her friends were like, what is she talking about?

00:30:57.000 Yeah, no, I agree with all that.

00:30:58.000 Then she was like, I was so traumatized, I installed a second door to my home.

00:31:01.000 And then they were like, actually, that was the Airbnb you set up.

00:31:04.000 Yeah.

00:31:04.000 I'm actually traumatized and scared to fly.

00:31:06.000 Do you fly?

00:31:07.000 Yes.

00:31:08.000 Did you fly recently?

00:31:09.000 Yes.

00:31:09.000 How far did you fly?

00:31:10.000 Thousands of miles.

00:31:11.000 You're flying on cross-country.

00:31:13.000 She flew to New Zealand or something.

00:31:15.000 I don't know the exact where she flew, but it's like...

00:31:17.000 How is it that she's able to say these things and no one did an investigation because it's clear that she's lying?

00:31:23.000 No, I mean, I'm just giving her an extreme benefit of the doubt.

00:31:26.000 All of that's very compelling, and I understand where you're coming from.

00:31:28.000 And again, I agree that the accusations were, like you said, contradicted by the evidence.

00:31:34.000 I'm just careful to call anybody a liar.

00:31:35.000 That's a good point.

00:31:36.000 That's a good point.

00:31:38.000 She could be unwell. 1.00

00:31:40.000 Yeah, that was mostly my thought, is that she's a mentally ill person. 1.00

00:31:43.000 And I've been saying this a lot, man, that Antifa preys upon these people. 0.79

00:31:48.000 There's actually a really interesting story we gotta talk about.

00:31:50.000 Hmm, I cover I talked about this on my 1 p.m.

00:31:52.000 Segment there.

00:31:54.000 You know what gang stalking is?

00:31:55.000 No, no gang stalking is this paranoid delusion that people have where they think like operatives or agents are always spying on them interesting and they'll think you're a spy they'll like you'll meet them and they'll be like they'll look at you in the back and Are you one of them?

00:32:09.000 Say yes or no.

00:32:10.000 And you'll be like, uh, excuse me?

00:32:12.000 You are!

00:32:14.000 That's actually really sad.

00:32:15.000 They tell their friends and family like, you know, someone's spying on me and they'll say, where?

00:32:18.000 I'm like, there's a camera in my house.

00:32:19.000 I'm telling you it's in the light.

00:32:20.000 I know it's there.

00:32:22.000 They think around every corner there's an agent or an operative.

00:32:25.000 The New York Times wrote about this, and what's really interesting is that they talk about how after 9-11, this skyrocketed, this view of agents and gang stalking.

00:32:33.000 And they used the internet to find like-minded people who experienced the same thing, to form collectives, to take action over a shared delusion.

00:32:42.000 Even though they all contradict each other and it seems to make no sense.

00:32:44.000 Wow.

00:32:45.000 What's interesting about this is that when you take that concept, after 9-11, all these people thought they were being spied on by the government.

00:32:51.000 Patriot Act, NSA, all that stuff, right?

00:32:54.000 Now you have, in the mainstream media, all this talk about fascists and white supremacists and what do we get? 0.95

00:32:59.000 Fascists are stalking me! 0.92

00:33:01.000 I'm not even exaggerating. 0.95

00:33:03.000 No, no, I believe it.

00:33:03.000 It was Jonathan K. of Quillette who tweeted about this and I thought it was really insane.

00:33:07.000 I was like, I never thought about that.

00:33:10.000 Because they had this woman who was claiming that someone broke into her car and it was clearly a white supremacist who was harassing her and stalking her because she's an activist. 0.91

00:33:17.000 And tons of other people started tweeting the same things.

00:33:19.000 Yes, they're stalking me and harassing me.

00:33:22.000 Then you look at what Andy Ngo does, right?

00:33:23.000 Andy Ngo covers the people who get arrested.

00:33:25.000 He covers the protests and the riots.

00:33:27.000 And he says like, this person got arrested for felony arson, blah, blah, blah.

00:33:30.000 And then they start saying that he's feeding, he's feeding the white supremacists our information.

00:33:35.000 And it's gang stalking.

00:33:37.000 It's the same thing.

00:33:38.000 They think that the person around the corner is a fascist, they're everywhere.

00:33:42.000 They literally think there's millions of people.

00:33:44.000 It sounds like a shared paranoid delusion these people are experiencing.

00:33:47.000 There are no white supremacists.

00:33:48.000 There's like, in this country of 328 million, there's estimated, a high estimate is like 11,000, according to like Anti-Defamation League or, you know, some of these organizations.

00:33:58.000 So they're not stalking you, but they believe it.

00:34:02.000 So you have Antifa targeting people who are unwell, who think these things are true, using them to do things to benefit them, convincing them to commit crimes, convincing them to hurt people, and they go around and they do it.

00:34:15.000 They're justified because they all share this delusion.

00:34:18.000 So if someone says, I swear Ophatius was following me, me too, then it must be true! 1.00

00:34:23.000 Isn't that that one guy that killed the dude?

00:34:26.000 You know what I'm talking about?

00:34:27.000 The guy was wearing a MAGA hat or something.

00:34:29.000 Oh, he said my friend was in danger. 1.00

00:34:31.000 I had to kill him. 0.98

00:34:32.000 And I was surrounded. 1.00

00:34:33.000 I was surrounded.

00:34:34.000 There were cars with that guy, that guy, Michael Reynold.

00:34:37.000 He said to Vice News that there were cars all around with Trump supporters with weapons.

00:34:41.000 That dude was one of the he probably had one of these like paranoid delusion of gang stalking things going on.

00:34:48.000 I think people that think they've been abducted by aliens also are experiencing that.

00:34:52.000 Some kind of paranoid, delusional psychosis or whatever.

00:34:55.000 And then here's what happens.

00:34:56.000 You get someone who's sitting there shaking, being like, they're everywhere.

00:34:59.000 And you go, they are.

00:35:00.000 But they're not agents.

00:35:00.000 They're actually fascists.

00:35:02.000 They are?

00:35:02.000 Yeah.

00:35:03.000 Trust me.

00:35:03.000 I see them too.

00:35:04.000 You're the only one who believes me.

00:35:05.000 That's right.

00:35:06.000 Come with me.

00:35:06.000 Take this.

00:35:07.000 Now throw it at that building. 1.00

00:35:08.000 And they do.

00:35:09.000 And then guess who gets arrested?

00:35:10.000 Not the guy who handed the explosive.

00:35:12.000 The guy who threw the explosive.

00:35:14.000 They use these people.

00:35:16.000 And so, you know, we're talking about Christine Blasey Ford.

00:35:19.000 I'm not, for all we know that she was just a, she's an unwell person.

00:35:25.000 Oh, wow.

00:35:25.000 And they were like, it really did happen.

00:35:27.000 Don't you remember?

00:35:28.000 It did.

00:35:28.000 She's like, it did.

00:35:29.000 And then when they actually scrutinized her and she didn't have people telling her, she's just like, I don't know.

00:35:34.000 I don't remember.

00:35:35.000 I don't know.

00:35:36.000 No.

00:35:36.000 All the witnesses denied it.

00:35:38.000 Ultimately, I think she was just lying.

00:35:40.000 I mean, that's a simple solution, right?

00:35:42.000 Like, look, Occam's Razor suggests the simple solution tends to be the correct one.

00:35:48.000 That's not a law, that's just something people point out.

00:35:51.000 It doesn't necessarily mean that in every circumstance you can say it's true, and it doesn't mean he ever actually mathematically tested it, because you can't really.

00:35:57.000 But it is an idea that I think most of us agree upon.

00:36:00.000 Don't take things too far.

00:36:01.000 It's probably just, you know, more simple than that.

00:36:04.000 Simple solution here is she's lied.

00:36:07.000 They want to stop Brett Kavanaugh by any means necessary.

00:36:10.000 They accused him.

00:36:11.000 He was already vetted, right?

00:36:12.000 Yeah.

00:36:12.000 So Brett Kavanaugh was a federal judge, which means he went through the vetting process and the confirmation process.

00:36:17.000 They were going through it again, and then all of a sudden, 30-year-old vague nebulous stories start popping up.

00:36:24.000 But it's also possible that they were both 18 and blackout drunk, and she vaguely remembers getting forced.

00:36:28.000 That's not what you said.

00:36:29.000 I don't think she said they were drunk, right?

00:36:31.000 I don't remember.

00:36:31.000 I don't remember all the specifics anymore.

00:36:33.000 It's been quite a while.

00:36:34.000 I just remember there wasn't a lot of evidence and the media was completely on her side.

00:36:37.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.97

00:36:38.000 It's ridiculous. 0.69

00:36:39.000 She said that she was at a party at someone's house and Brett Kavanaugh and his friend went upstairs and she went with them and then he pinned her on the bed and jumped on top of her and then she was panicking and then his friend jumped on him and they rolled over and then she got up and ran away. 0.92

00:36:52.000 That was it.

00:36:53.000 And then from that, what did we get?

00:36:56.000 Accusations that Brett Kavanaugh was contributing to drugging women and keeping them in rooms where men would line up outside the door, taking turns.

00:37:06.000 And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. 0.79

00:37:09.000 And then they held up a picture of him making a really icky face when he was called a rapist for several hours.

00:37:14.000 And they're like, look at this man's face. 0.66

00:37:15.000 Does this look like the face of a man who isn't a rapist?

00:37:18.000 That was kind of what they were going on.

00:37:20.000 That was the face plastered on everything.

00:37:22.000 And it was him like crying.

00:37:24.000 It was his face when he was about to cry.

00:37:26.000 Which is reasonable.

00:37:27.000 But they make it look like he's snarling.

00:37:29.000 Geez, man.

00:37:30.000 I think because justices get appointed for life, people are terrified of who the justices are.

00:37:37.000 Yeah, well they kind of should be.

00:37:38.000 And they're like freaked, like the way that they want to impeach Trump before he even appointed anyone.

00:37:42.000 Isn't that hilarious?

00:37:43.000 What do you think would happen if they tried to impeach him right now?

00:37:45.000 For what?

00:37:46.000 I know, but if they tried, they would destroy themselves.

00:37:48.000 They would totally destroy themselves.

00:37:50.000 To be fair on this point too, because I brought it up, Nancy Pelosi was asked by George Stephanopoulos Would you consider impeaching Trump or Bill Barr?

00:37:58.000 And then she said, well, you know, we've got a bunch of options.

00:38:00.000 And then her brain snapped and she went, good morning?

00:38:02.000 But what she should have said is we don't have any reason to impeach him.

00:38:05.000 She could have just said, why are you asking?

00:38:08.000 Why would I impeach? 0.99

00:38:09.000 That's ridiculous. 0.96

00:38:09.000 That's not what impeachment's for, sir. 0.96

00:38:10.000 What kind of a question is that?

00:38:12.000 This isn't just like a political play thing that we can use as a strategy.

00:38:15.000 But she wanted it.

00:38:16.000 She wanted that news cycle.

00:38:19.000 So she was like, well, we have our options.

00:38:21.000 And then Trump was like, now they're talking about impeachment.

00:38:23.000 They're going to impeach me.

00:38:24.000 How dare they?

00:38:25.000 They did this a second time.

00:38:27.000 Yeah, I could see them threatening.

00:38:28.000 He's a little bit more angrier though.

00:38:29.000 He's a little angrier.

00:38:31.000 Some people are saying that Nancy Pelosi wants to impeach me.

00:38:35.000 We don't like that very much.

00:38:37.000 I don't like that.

00:38:38.000 And then, I mean, I mentioned it, but her brain broke.

00:38:41.000 I saw that clip.

00:38:42.000 What do you think that was?

00:38:43.000 She's just older and under a lot of stress, I think.

00:38:45.000 Well, hold on, hold on.

00:38:47.000 So, for those that aren't familiar, Nancy Pelosi was talking, she was asked about impeachment, and then George Stephanopoulos responded, but you're saying you won't take impeachment off the table, and she goes, good morning, Sunday morning.

00:39:03.000 We have an obligation to the American people, and people were like, what was that?

00:39:06.000 That was weird.

00:39:08.000 She just like, brain turned off.

00:39:10.000 I guess that can happen every now and again when you have a really high-stress job and old age, but it's definitely unsettling.

00:39:16.000 I mean, it happens to Joe Biden way more often, if we're being fair.

00:39:19.000 Oh, for sure, for sure.

00:39:20.000 Should we have an age limit?

00:39:22.000 No.

00:39:23.000 I don't know.

00:39:24.000 No, because especially with genetic therapy, the way we can advance our age, we'll be 130.

00:39:28.000 Do you think so?

00:39:29.000 I don't know if I believe that, but I actually don't know how to answer the question.

00:39:32.000 I mean, at some point, I don't know if I would put a hard age limit as much as I would say, like, alright, this person is clearly in a position where they're no longer able to govern.

00:39:39.000 And it's funny because for years and years and years, this was a punchline all the way through my childhood, right?

00:39:43.000 And I was born years after Ronald Reagan had already died.

00:39:47.000 There's this joke, oh isn't it so hilarious that Ronald Reagan was going senile at the end of his life and the Republicans had this president who is sort of losing it and slipping in old age and how incompetent are they?

00:39:56.000 And then the Democrats like went out of their way and chose to nominate a man whose brain is clearly not functioning properly when they had many other options.

00:40:02.000 With Reagan, I've heard that he had some information and they wanted to testify and get it out of him and he didn't want to give up the information so he said that he was going senile and couldn't remember.

00:40:12.000 I wouldn't know anything about that.

00:40:13.000 But then he really went senile.

00:40:14.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:40:15.000 Self-fulfilling prophecy.

00:40:16.000 Didn't he think that movie War Game was like a real thing?

00:40:19.000 What?

00:40:19.000 You know that movie where the kid like... You know the movie where the kid's playing the computer game?

00:40:25.000 Matthew Broderick?

00:40:26.000 Yeah, I was at it and the computer's gonna fire nuclear missiles or something and he thought it was real and he was like, oh no!

00:40:31.000 Yeah, I don't know about any of that.

00:40:33.000 I just know that that was the bit that they always did.

00:40:34.000 Everyone always thought it was hilarious that Reagan was slipping and it was just indicative of this grave incompetence on the right side of the political aisle.

00:40:41.000 they had a choice in picture old if you're if you're saying that you think

00:40:44.000 we're gonna live to be a hundred thirty then what about his lifetime

00:40:46.000 appointments for supreme court if we gotta change it's got to change

00:40:49.000 they used to live not that long now they live in and i mean this is seventy maybe

00:40:53.000 that's that life expectancy has been like relative like only got up a little

00:40:57.000 bit desperately have to change the life appointments it should be for you and i

00:41:00.000 don't know i i i think that's a it i'm really skeptical of the idea that will be able to

00:41:04.000 extend the human life expectancy that long

00:41:07.000 And if we do, I think that's a bridge we would really need to cross once we got there.

00:41:10.000 For now, I would just say maybe there's something to be said about a person being too incompetent to do the job anymore and you have that discussion.

00:41:16.000 I don't know that I would set a heart age limit for it.

00:41:19.000 Yeah.

00:41:19.000 What about term limits?

00:41:20.000 Look at Thomas Sowell.

00:41:20.000 I mean, we haven't heard from Thomas Sowell much lately, but he's certainly getting older and he's just as sharp and brilliant as he's ever been.

00:41:26.000 What do you think about term limits for justices?

00:41:28.000 For justices?

00:41:29.000 That's a tough one.

00:41:30.000 I don't know.

00:41:30.000 I really don't know.

00:41:31.000 I haven't thought it through enough.

00:41:33.000 I've actually never really given that specific question any thought, so it probably wouldn't be responsible for me to answer.

00:41:38.000 A lot of this conversation specifically is predicated upon whether or not life expectancy will be exponential.

00:41:45.000 But there's a, are you guys familiar with Aubrey de Grey?

00:41:47.000 Yeah.

00:41:47.000 You might be?

00:41:48.000 Is he the guy with the really long beard?

00:41:49.000 Yes.

00:41:50.000 Yes, I've heard a few talks from him.

00:41:53.000 I saw him speak once and he said that we, he said, what did he say?

00:41:57.000 That like, people under the age of 45, and this was, I think this was 10 years ago, will live to be a thousand.

00:42:06.000 I don't buy it.

00:42:07.000 I don't either.

00:42:09.000 But his point was this.

00:42:10.000 He said it's not that we're going to one day invent this pill that you just take and all of a sudden you live to be a thousand.

00:42:16.000 It's that you're going to turn 50 and they're going to cure this.

00:42:19.000 You're going to turn 55 and they're going to cure this.

00:42:21.000 And then medical technology is going to start advancing faster than people are dying.

00:42:25.000 So, you'll always be sick, you'll always be weak, you'll always be dying, but they'll constantly be treating and curing and rejuvenating.

00:42:30.000 And then, so, it's kind of like this period where we're dipping, and then we pull back up, and medical technology keeps us alive.

00:42:37.000 Yeah.

00:42:37.000 I don't know, if we have lifetime appointments under the assumption that, you know, these people will die at some point, we still have the problem of people who become completely incapacitated.

00:42:47.000 Yes.

00:42:47.000 Serving on the Supreme Court.

00:42:49.000 Maybe cognitive tests or something.

00:42:50.000 Yeah, exactly, exactly.

00:42:52.000 It's interesting what you're saying about life expectancy, and you sort of alluded to this earlier when you said life expectancy has not significantly grown.

00:43:01.000 People will say like, oh, in the past life expectancy was only 30, but obviously that's because there was so much infant mortality changing the average.

00:43:06.000 It wasn't out of the ordinary or totally unheard of for a person to live to 80 or 90 or even 100, but it is out of the ordinary for a person now to live to like 130, 140.

00:43:14.000 In fact, I don't think anyone's ever lived that long, so that's why I'm skeptical that our medical technology will ever get us to the point where that's possible.

00:43:20.000 Have you heard of nicotinamide mononucleotide?

00:43:22.000 No, sir.

00:43:23.000 NMN, you can get it, you can buy it, and you take it with resveratrol, which is the active chemical in like red wine and like purple vegetables, you know, eggplant.

00:43:32.000 It causes the telomeres, telomeres, I'm I'm not sure.

00:43:35.000 Telomeres.

00:43:36.000 To regrow.

00:43:36.000 So your proteins, you have these proteins called sirtuins in your body.

00:43:40.000 And there's five of them.

00:43:41.000 One of them measures the energy in your mitochondria.

00:43:43.000 So when a cell splits, if it doesn't have enough energy, one of the new cells

00:43:47.000 doesn't have enough energy, so it clips off the end caps of its telomeres 0.97

00:43:51.000 to compensate.

00:43:52.000 But if the measurement process is accurate because the sirtuins are good,

00:43:56.000 then when the cell splits, both stay alive and the telomeres stay healthy

00:44:00.000 and long.

00:44:02.000 As you get older, this sirtuin too, SIRT2, starts to degrade.

00:44:06.000 But with NMN, nicotinamide mononucleotide, and other chemicals, they keep pumping the SIRT2, your body keeps making the sirtuins.

00:44:13.000 So you basically don't get older, is the idea.

00:44:15.000 So what you're saying is, uh, we should all get blood transfusions from young people who do nothing but eat healthy and work out at the gym? 0.91

00:44:22.000 Doesn't Peter Thiel do that?

00:44:23.000 Yeah, what is that stuff called?

00:44:24.000 Is that word banned on YouTube?

00:44:26.000 Yeah, I have no clue.

00:44:27.000 Gonna get us demonetized. 0.77

00:44:28.000 Blood transfusion?

00:44:29.000 No, no, it's the chemical they get out of the blood.

00:44:30.000 Oh, vampirism.

00:44:31.000 Yeah.

00:44:32.000 No, uh... That's, that's not, that, no, that's not real.

00:44:34.000 Anyway, no, Tim, the answer's no.

00:44:35.000 No, you don't get blood transfusions.

00:44:36.000 But I'm sure it's a real conspiracy theory.

00:44:39.000 I'm sure it's a real conspiracy theory.

00:44:40.000 I think people do that.

00:44:40.000 I'm sure someone believes that.

00:44:42.000 Maybe.

00:44:42.000 I think people do do that, don't they?

00:44:43.000 Really.

00:44:44.000 They do.

00:44:45.000 I could be wrong, but I read that Peter Thiel did it.

00:44:47.000 Maybe that's not true.

00:44:48.000 Maybe it's a smear of him.

00:44:49.000 People used to eat human hearts, you know, for their courage, right?

00:44:53.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:44:53.000 Well, that does work.

00:44:55.000 You gain their courage?

00:44:56.000 I think so.

00:44:57.000 Is that why you're so comfortable and brave?

00:45:00.000 Exactly.

00:45:00.000 That's why I just speak my mind.

00:45:01.000 That's why I make internet cartoons.

00:45:02.000 They're very courageous.

00:45:04.000 So let's talk about, you know, the Supreme Court, man.

00:45:06.000 Yeah.

00:45:06.000 Supreme Court.

00:45:09.000 Mitt Romney, I guess, is kind of pulling back a little bit.

00:45:11.000 He said he's not going to promise Trump he's going to give him the vote he needs, even though he said he was going to vote to confirm whoever.

00:45:17.000 But you think, I guess everyone's saying it's going to be Amy Coney Barrett.

00:45:21.000 And the concern is that she is a devout Catholic.

00:45:24.000 And so the left is... Concerned for whom, sir?

00:45:27.000 Well, the left is concerned for themselves.

00:45:30.000 Yeah.

00:45:31.000 Because, you know.

00:45:32.000 Well, and we talked about this a little bit earlier, but she's also a constitutional originalist.

00:45:35.000 So they're saying she's going to, like, implement this radically Catholic interpretation of the Constitution when she herself has said she actually just wants to look back to what the Founding Fathers initially intended.

00:45:44.000 Because that is the job of Supreme Court justice.

00:45:46.000 That's what you're supposed to do.

00:45:47.000 We were talking with, I think it was Colin Wright, and I hope I'm not putting words in his mouth because maybe I'm misremembering.

00:45:53.000 But he said something like he would prefer kids learned creationism over the social justice stuff.

00:45:57.000 And so I'm like, well, now you got a liberal who's going to be in favor of a devout Catholic Supreme Court justice because of the potential that you get a hard left identitarian cultist.

00:46:06.000 Oh yeah, but you don't want the worst of two things.

00:46:09.000 I don't know.

00:46:10.000 I disagree that she's the worst also.

00:46:11.000 I mean, people are calling her like a Catholic extremist, but she's just a practicing Catholic.

00:46:15.000 It's funny.

00:46:17.000 Part of the reason that you know Joe Biden is not a practicing Catholic is because the media has never called him a religious extremist, which is what they always do when you follow the most basic tenets of the Catholic faith.

00:46:26.000 I mean, she's pro-life and she doesn't want Catholic companies to be forced to pay for abortifacients, which I think, or birth control, which I think is like pretty straightforward.

00:46:34.000 That's not an extremist belief.

00:46:35.000 In fact, I know many non-religious people who believe that.

00:46:39.000 And she has seven children, God forbid, how dare she? 1.00

00:46:41.000 So she's crazy and different and weird. 0.93

00:46:43.000 Did you see the tweet where they said it was Wow. 0.88

00:46:46.000 I think it's just aggressive.

00:46:47.000 I think it's just confrontational.

00:46:48.000 What was it that they said about Antifa?

00:46:49.000 She had nine kids and then her belly was like number ten and it said like this is terrorism or something like that.

00:46:54.000 Wow Yeah, I think it's just aggressive. I think it's just

00:46:56.000 confrontational. No What was it that they said about Antifa? They're just a

00:46:59.000 little confrontational. I Know I think that's like why is why is procreate? Why would

00:47:05.000 procreating be terrorism like?

00:47:06.000 Who's forcing her to have these children? 1.00

00:47:07.000 She's just having these children. 0.97

00:47:09.000 Dude, you could have one kid and be a horrible parent and have 20 kids and be an amazing parent.

00:47:13.000 A fantastic parent!

00:47:13.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:47:15.000 Historically, it was normal to have many more children. 1.00

00:47:17.000 The idea that that's terrorism is so stupid. 1.00

00:47:19.000 I don't even know where to begin with it. 1.00

00:47:21.000 Well, they're just saying it because you have this social justice narrative.

00:47:27.000 You know.

00:47:27.000 Children bad.

00:47:28.000 Yeah, kids bad.

00:47:29.000 Motherhood bad. 0.88

00:47:30.000 It's bad for the climate.

00:47:31.000 You know, you can't have kids.

00:47:32.000 Overpopulation.

00:47:33.000 You can't have kids.

00:47:34.000 It's the way we're formed on the earth, not the number of us.

00:47:37.000 Of course.

00:47:37.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:47:38.000 And I would even say it's not even so much like the way that we're formed, because as we were talking about this a little bit earlier, but there are certain resources that we've been depleting, I suppose, like fossil fuels.

00:47:49.000 But as the population has increased, global poverty has decreased.

00:47:53.000 It's not as if there's been this fierce competition for resources with each new mouth because every single person is also an asset.

00:48:00.000 I mean people create things and they tend to create more than they themselves will need and so it passes on to everybody else.

00:48:06.000 But so we were talking about this, too.

00:48:08.000 I think we will eventually have an overpopulation problem.

00:48:11.000 Simple math.

00:48:12.000 If at a certain point, we can't have more people because there's a finite amount of space, you know, and we need a certain amount of space for farming.

00:48:19.000 We were I've been looking at like how to grow certain like crops and like in a garden.

00:48:24.000 I'm not talking about starting a farm or anything like that.

00:48:26.000 And they talk about, like, the certain amount of acreage you need and stuff.

00:48:28.000 So clearly there's a mathematical formula for how many people can exist with how much farmland you have.

00:48:33.000 At some point we'll hit that number.

00:48:34.000 Yeah, I think if that's possible, then it's something that would sort of work itself out and we would hit an equilibrium.

00:48:39.000 And I'm sure you would agree that, like, population control is nowhere near being the answer to this kind of a question.

00:48:43.000 Right.

00:48:43.000 But equilibrium, you know what that means for, like, most animal species?

00:48:47.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:48:47.000 Yeah, it usually means people starving.

00:48:49.000 But I don't know that humanity's ever going to get there.

00:48:52.000 We're going to Mars.

00:48:53.000 I don't believe we are.

00:48:54.000 We'll send people to Mars.

00:48:55.000 But think we can build cities in the sky.

00:48:57.000 So check this out.

00:48:58.000 Do you think so?

00:48:58.000 Yeah, this is a long term idea.

00:48:59.000 But the way boats work in the ocean, you have a hollow to basically a hollow circle that floats in the water because it's lighter than the water.

00:49:07.000 So if you had a hollow circle in the air, that's lighter than the air, basically a vacuum.

00:49:10.000 Like a hot air balloon.

00:49:12.000 And we could name it something after a guy, maybe like Hindenburg.

00:49:15.000 That's a great name.

00:49:16.000 I knew you were going there.

00:49:17.000 I knew you were going there.

00:49:18.000 The hydrogen is lighter than the air around it.

00:49:20.000 Gigantic, huge mass of structure in the sky that's lighter than air.

00:49:25.000 Have you been watching Up?

00:49:26.000 No, I've never seen it.

00:49:27.000 No, that's actually, you should watch it.

00:49:28.000 It's a beautiful film.

00:49:29.000 You fill the chamber with lots of little circles with like hydro gel.

00:49:32.000 You can pump it with lighter than air materials.

00:49:34.000 And I think we can get giant land masses to float and then we can plant crops.

00:49:38.000 I don't think we could do it that way.

00:49:40.000 Apparently in Venus we could.

00:49:42.000 They're like floating, there's like really dense gases and you could like make a floating city.

00:49:46.000 So there've been like sci-fi that have talked about it.

00:49:47.000 Yeah.

00:49:48.000 But people don't talk about the problem with Mars is that there's no magnetosphere, right?

00:49:53.000 You'd have to create one.

00:49:54.000 But how do we do that?

00:49:55.000 Do we like- Just bring a bunch of magma?

00:49:56.000 Have you seen the Core?

00:49:57.000 That movie where they like- Yes!

00:49:58.000 They nuke the core of the- Is that what we're gonna do?

00:50:00.000 Why would you do this?

00:50:01.000 Have you seen- If you see that big gash on Mars, it's like hundreds of thousands of miles long.

00:50:05.000 It looks like some planetoid hit Mars and scraped across it and ripped it open so all the iron spewed out of it into the magma and that's why it settled as iron oxide dust all over the surface of the planet.

00:50:16.000 Interesting.

00:50:16.000 So like its core got gutted or its magma got gutted.

00:50:19.000 Yeah, I have no idea, but that is interesting.

00:50:20.000 It probably should still have a core.

00:50:22.000 I just don't- It's not quite as- I don't know anything about Mars.

00:50:25.000 Elon thinks we should nuke the poles to get it started. 1.00

00:50:28.000 Wait, Elon said what?

00:50:29.000 That we should nuke the poles of Mars. 0.77

00:50:31.000 Interesting.

00:50:31.000 But how many nukes would you need for that?

00:50:32.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:50:33.000 I don't know.

00:50:33.000 Like, all of them?

00:50:34.000 We'd have to ask him.

00:50:35.000 What if a couple of them just miss Mars? 0.97

00:50:38.000 Because it's actually hard to get things right at the exact window where they're going to hit something that far away.

00:50:43.000 So you can just have a couple nukes go past and then we start an intergalactic war.

00:50:46.000 Hundreds of thousands of years later, millions maybe, it just hits some planet and it's still active.

00:50:51.000 We plant the bomb. 0.82

00:50:52.000 You have to plant the bomb.

00:50:53.000 So like I'm imagining it's like really funny they're like this like watching this myth like this nuke just like it narrowly misses and then I can imagine a song like Spanish Flea playing is it like from a hundred million years is just drifting aimlessly and then finally reaches this ridiculously intelligent advanced species with interstellar travel but they've they've lost the ability to enter like to stop this because oh my god it's like what do we do it's like I don't know!

00:51:17.000 We haven't dealt with nukes in, like, 5,000 years!

00:51:19.000 And then it, like, blows up one of their colonies.

00:51:21.000 So they're like, war! 0.55

00:51:23.000 And they come to Earth, and it's like a decaying blob of nothing, and, like, it's been hundreds of millions of years.

00:51:27.000 There's nothing left.

00:51:28.000 Humans are gone.

00:51:29.000 It's wiped out.

00:51:30.000 Oh, I sure hope not.

00:51:31.000 But maybe we're on Mars, because we knew it was successful when we went to the poles.

00:51:34.000 I just figured it out.

00:51:35.000 What is it?

00:51:36.000 What actually happens is, if it's just traveling physically through space, and eventually we discover interstellar travel, like wormholes and stuff, It hits us.

00:51:43.000 Yeah, I was gonna say, what if the universe is just repeating like Pac-Man?

00:51:47.000 You get to one end, and it comes back the other way, and then... I think it is.

00:51:50.000 The snook just comes back and hits us.

00:51:53.000 I don't mean that, but I mean like... No, I know.

00:51:55.000 This is something really, really... We're gonna get into sci-fi, I guess.

00:51:57.000 We got so much political stuff to talk about, but I want to talk about it.

00:52:00.000 If, uh, I was, like, watching Star Trek and stuff and seeing them, you know, or not even that, like, Battlestar Galactica, where they travel great distances.

00:52:08.000 If a group of people right now went on, say, Elon Musk's spaceship to Mars, or maybe not Mars, maybe they're gonna go to, like, Alpha Centauri or some planet very, very far away.

00:52:18.000 And like it's going to be a hundred year journey.

00:52:21.000 They'd be like 50 years in and we'd catch up and be like, look at those old people. 1.00

00:52:25.000 That's hilarious.

00:52:26.000 Our technology would advance to the point, theoretically, where we beat them to it.

00:52:30.000 And when they land, we're already there.

00:52:31.000 And we're like, man, you guys have a long time.

00:52:33.000 What if we're already there?

00:52:35.000 What?

00:52:35.000 We found a way to get there so quickly that we got there before we left?

00:52:38.000 Because the people that left Earth 100 million years ago, their technology is... or 30,000 years ago, they've advanced so much more quickly than us that they're already there waiting for us.

00:52:46.000 The people that left Earth 30... Yeah, 20,000 years ago.

00:52:48.000 Do you believe that?

00:52:49.000 Well, I don't know.

00:52:49.000 That doesn't make sense.

00:52:50.000 That's possible.

00:52:51.000 I wasn't sure if this was a theory or...

00:52:52.000 I don't think that makes sense.

00:52:54.000 What I'm saying is, if right now, a ship left, and then it's like a hundred years out, and then we have better technology, and then we're faster, or if the people on the ship have better technology... They'd be so embarrassed, dude.

00:53:03.000 They'd be like... I know.

00:53:05.000 They'd be so embarrassed.

00:53:06.000 They'd be like, oh man, I just wasted my life.

00:53:09.000 They would land on, like, this ridiculously developed place, and they would be, like, super archaic and anachronistic.

00:53:16.000 Well, what we would have to do is just make them feel better by not letting them know that we beat them there, and just making some part of the planet look like it's completely un-terraformed.

00:53:25.000 Like, yeah, no, you guys are the first to get there, good for you!

00:53:28.000 Yeah.

00:53:28.000 Part of why, when we colonize Mars, it's gonna be like the Internet's so important because if they develop at a different rate than the people on Earth, I think there could be mass chaos, intergalactic chaos between two, you know, Martians.

00:53:39.000 Between ourselves.

00:53:40.000 Yeah.

00:53:40.000 Imagine this.

00:53:41.000 We send a ship out.

00:53:42.000 It's like a 500-year journey, so people are dying and being born and dying, and they know very little about the home world.

00:53:48.000 Then, within 200 years, we develop faster travel.

00:53:52.000 We colonize other planets.

00:53:53.000 Then we end up getting into war with the other colonies.

00:53:56.000 With our own people?

00:53:56.000 Yeah.

00:53:57.000 Create factions.

00:53:58.000 And then when they land, they're all taken prisoner.

00:54:01.000 You're under arrest.

00:54:02.000 You're enemy faction.

00:54:03.000 And they're like, we were from the year 2200 and it's what year?

00:54:08.000 The other big problem that no one really talks about is that The solar system itself is moving, the planets are moving, and time dilation, right?

00:54:17.000 So if you're on this planet that's traveling a certain amount of kilometers per hour with the whole solar system, the planet's spinning a certain amount of kilometers an hour, and then you travel to another planet that's going much, much slower or faster.

00:54:28.000 Wouldn't you then experience time living on that planet very differently to Earth?

00:54:31.000 Huh?

00:54:31.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:54:32.000 Time is relative, is motion, is relative motion.

00:54:35.000 So it's relative to the galactic core, for instance.

00:54:37.000 Um, if you're moving faster than the core, it's going to look like things are happening faster outside.

00:54:42.000 It's so confusing.

00:54:43.000 Interesting.

00:54:44.000 I was also out of my wheelhouse.

00:54:45.000 Me too.

00:54:46.000 I don't think anyone truly understands time because it's just a measurement of motion.

00:54:50.000 And, and if everything's moving, then how can you even have a, have a clock?

00:54:54.000 It doesn't.

00:54:55.000 So like, okay, we need a galactic clock that just, that just It shows where you are in the galaxy and where you will be in one solar year.

00:55:02.000 And so it moves faster in certain areas.

00:55:03.000 Yeah.

00:55:04.000 Imagine, yeah, that'd be crazy.

00:55:05.000 You're on a planet and the clock's going really fast and you're like, those are the days.

00:55:08.000 And your time is just gonna be your location.

00:55:11.000 So the way you'll be like, it is 24, 32, 71.

00:55:12.000 That means you can plot me in this area of the galaxy.

00:55:15.000 Interesting.

00:55:18.000 And next year my time will be, and then you give the new location, because they're moving so fast.

00:55:21.000 Yeah, that's also true.

00:55:22.000 They're going to need to give you coordinates of where they are.

00:55:24.000 Do you think it's even ever really going to be possible to achieve that kind of space travel?

00:55:27.000 It's all so much more complicated than we understand.

00:55:29.000 What if there is no space travel?

00:55:30.000 What if we're in a simulation and this is the final season?

00:55:33.000 Well, to entertain a hypothetical, it would be an entertaining season.

00:55:41.000 Kind of.

00:55:42.000 It's like jumping the shark a little bit.

00:55:45.000 I think it's early on in the show.

00:55:46.000 Season 2, season 3, because we just got TV.

00:55:50.000 No, it's too absurd.

00:55:52.000 When Donald Trump won, it was clear that the writer was like, uh, Donald Trump becomes president?

00:55:57.000 That'll rope viewers back in.

00:55:58.000 It's like episode 7, season 2.

00:56:00.000 But then when you really think about it, that's sort of novel to us, but historically, stranger things have happened than Donald Trump becoming president.

00:56:05.000 Though that was, let me tell you, that night.

00:56:07.000 My goodness.

00:56:08.000 None of us expected it.

00:56:10.000 I didn't.

00:56:11.000 The New York Times meter was 99% Hillary Clinton.

00:56:13.000 Yeah, what'd you think that night?

00:56:15.000 I was laughing really hard, actually.

00:56:18.000 My brother tells this story that he called me.

00:56:19.000 I was literally laughing hysterically just because I thought it was silly.

00:56:21.000 There was not a single angle I could examine it from that was not really, really funny. 0.58

00:56:25.000 There was this woman who's just unbelievably crooked and has all of the traits that make a really savvy and unscrupulous politician, has spent her entire life striving for one single political position. 1.00

00:56:37.000 And then this one guy wakes up one morning and he's like, I could be president.

00:56:40.000 And he beats her.

00:56:41.000 And to me, that is comedy gold.

00:56:43.000 It is, it is.

00:56:44.000 And I love that line.

00:56:45.000 Trump was like, I ran for president one time.

00:56:47.000 I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:56:48.000 He said, I ran for public office one time and I became president.

00:56:52.000 That's hilarious.

00:56:52.000 It's funny.

00:56:53.000 It is.

00:56:53.000 He's a funny guy.

00:56:55.000 And then him just like walking on stage with that big smile.

00:57:00.000 You can't always get what you want was playing and oh, I I'm telling you dude.

00:57:05.000 I was I was in tears laughing I just you can't always get what you yeah, he loves that son.

00:57:09.000 It's hysterical.

00:57:10.000 It's so funny And then I guess Hillary didn't come out John Podesta was like we're gonna go to bed We'll be back and then there was no like yeah Talk about the salt mines that day.

00:57:20.000 I know you were a salt miner.

00:57:22.000 You were rich that night.

00:57:23.000 Oh my goodness Yes, you were Well, so the one regret I really have from my college experience is that I did not have any classes scheduled the day after the election took place, and my friends did.

00:57:35.000 And from what they said, there were kids crying in class.

00:57:37.000 One of my friends at a teaching assistant started tearing up as they were explaining the situation.

00:57:42.000 One friend sent me a Snapchat of a student under a desk crying.

00:57:45.000 I mean, it was bad.

00:57:46.000 And it's funny because the media was plastering these images everywhere.

00:57:50.000 of people on their side of the political aisle crying which revealed something

00:57:53.000 interesting about their psychology which is that we thought we were like they thought we were gonna see that

00:57:57.000 and sympathize with them. Can you imagine if Trump had lost and Trump

00:58:01.000 supporters were crying?

00:58:02.000 They would have found that hysterical and if Fox News or some right-leaning

00:58:05.000 network tried putting that out there to gain sympathy they would have been

00:58:08.000 scorched. So it's just a fundamental inability to see somebody else's

00:58:13.000 Like someone's like, well, my taxes won't get raised and I'll be better able to feed my family.

00:58:16.000 No one's going to take my guns, but I wish I didn't make that liberal arts student cry.

00:58:20.000 What have I done?

00:58:21.000 So what are you going to do if Joe Biden wins?

00:58:23.000 I'm going to cry.

00:58:24.000 I'm going to laugh.

00:58:27.000 Dude, I honestly, I have no idea.

00:58:30.000 I have no idea.

00:58:31.000 Earlier in the year, before COVID happened and before the economy crashed, I would have said, there's no way anyone else could win.

00:58:38.000 I mean, all Trump had to do was not be a fascist, not be Hitler.

00:58:43.000 And he wasn't a fascist, and he wasn't Hitler.

00:58:45.000 So he basically surpassed the expectations that the media set up for him.

00:58:49.000 And I'm understating it.

00:58:52.000 But that's the thing, I'm understating it.

00:58:53.000 He actually did well.

00:58:53.000 The economy was okay.

00:58:54.000 He hasn't started any new wars.

00:58:56.000 He's actually been a good president in a number of ways, though he's certainly left something to be desired, if not much.

00:59:03.000 The point is, it wasn't until COVID happened that I thought, oh, maybe he doesn't have as much of a chance.

00:59:09.000 Not that I'm blaming him for it, but it's very easy to see how that narrative is going to be run.

00:59:13.000 We are under his watch and things aren't going very well.

00:59:15.000 There's so many conspiracy theories that it was intentional to get him out of office.

00:59:18.000 I've heard them, yeah.

00:59:19.000 I don't jump on any conspiracy theory without any kind of evidence.

00:59:23.000 All these countries working together, man.

00:59:24.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:59:25.000 That kind of international cooperation.

00:59:26.000 You're telling me we got world peace already?

00:59:28.000 Yeah.

00:59:28.000 What happened to the Tucker girl that went on Tucker and said it was a bioweapon?

00:59:33.000 She got banned from Twitter, and then... Oh yeah, gone. 0.76

00:59:35.000 I didn't even hear about that.

00:59:37.000 Any backup to that?

00:59:38.000 She worked for the University of Hong Kong, and I don't think she had anything to do with any of the labs in China.

00:59:45.000 Hmm.

00:59:46.000 So, it really did seem like... Look, she's an expert.

00:59:50.000 We'll hear what she has to say.

00:59:51.000 I don't believe it.

00:59:52.000 I don't think any president could have come out of a COVID as a shining beacon of hope.

00:59:56.000 Nobody did.

00:59:57.000 Nobody did.

00:59:57.000 I mean, look, you had Nancy Pelosi saying we should all go eat dinner in Chinatown.

01:00:00.000 I think what did what didn't Joe Biden say that Trump's ban from from China was I don't know if he used the word xenophobic but he didn't say the ban was he said he said something like we need real leadership not Trump's xenophobia okay yeah yeah so I don't think anybody really handled it properly but that said Trump is the president so you like he does have a special responsibility here But what could he do?

01:00:19.000 Yeah, I agree.

01:00:20.000 I mostly agree with you.

01:00:21.000 Not even, not even COVID.

01:00:22.000 But when I hear people say, like, this is Trump's America and it's Trump's fault with the riots, and I'm like, what should he do?

01:00:27.000 Yeah.

01:00:27.000 Like, that's not how the federal government works.

01:00:29.000 I don't want to live, like, I don't want the president just going around.

01:00:32.000 Exactly.

01:00:32.000 There's like this fallacy that the president's like the gunslinger that's going to go out and kill the boar and feed the family.

01:00:37.000 It's his job to sit back, watch and make sure no one does anything crazy.

01:00:41.000 He has veto power and that's like it.

01:00:43.000 And even then, like, he can let him get a little crazy.

01:00:45.000 You know what I mean?

01:00:47.000 Yeah, the president is not supposed to get involved with everything.

01:00:49.000 Now that said, I understand the arguments that he should have been more involved in some ways with COVID-19, but it's all really, really complicated.

01:00:57.000 And so that's why I'm saying I certainly don't blame him for it.

01:00:59.000 But I think that it's going to be easy to use that against him in the media, though whatever advantage they may have had, they've been doing everything they can to destroy by advocating for and apologizing for these riots and protests.

01:01:10.000 What do you think Trump could have done better?

01:01:12.000 I'm not sure.

01:01:14.000 I'm not sure.

01:01:14.000 I think... It's hard for me to pinpoint anything specifically, and that's why I'm not even saying he dropped the ball.

01:01:20.000 But what I am saying is, whenever anything bad happens under anybody's watch, it's easy to see why they're going to be blamed for it.

01:01:26.000 Yep.

01:01:27.000 And there's nothing to compare it to.

01:01:29.000 There's no relativity here.

01:01:32.000 People are looking at Europe and they're like, look what happened to this country.

01:01:35.000 And I'm like, Europe is more densely populated, but also, you know, very, very large.

01:01:40.000 And you're comparing one country to like a bunch of different states.

01:01:44.000 Like the U.S. 0.68

01:01:44.000 compared to Germany, it's not a question. 0.68

01:01:46.000 Germany is microscopic. 0.88

01:01:47.000 Europe as a whole, let's have a conversation, but then it's also got double the population.

01:01:51.000 So you can't do it.

01:01:52.000 You can't.

01:01:53.000 And they try.

01:01:54.000 And it makes no sense.

01:01:55.000 And then, I don't know if you saw this, but there was a camera, I think it was Nevada that released the data about COVID deaths.

01:02:01.000 Some of the people who had died with COVID had, like, end-stage renal failure.

01:02:05.000 And so people are pointing out, if you want to know how we got to 200,000 dead, you need to understand that some of these people were really close to death as it was.

01:02:13.000 It is true that COVID caused it, but if you're someone with, like, end-stage renal failure, and you're on your deathbed, and then you get COVID, you're gonna die.

01:02:21.000 You're gonna die if you get a cold.

01:02:23.000 I think what's going to have to be done, and I'm sure somebody's already thought of this or is working on this, but at the end of the year, at the end of the next two years, they're really going to need to compile some data on net deaths, like how many people died overall in this past year as compared to the average.

01:02:39.000 And then we can see how many of these COVID cases were just COVID versus people who are going to die of other diseases anyway.

01:02:44.000 Right.

01:02:44.000 Exacerbation, I think, is a better word than cause, because if someone with end-stage renal failure gets COVID, it exacerbates the renal failure.

01:02:51.000 Yeah.

01:02:51.000 And of course, we still don't want them to get COVID.

01:02:53.000 Absolutely not.

01:02:54.000 But it's a different conversation than all of these people were just completely healthy and got COVID and then died.

01:02:59.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:03:00.000 I, look, I'll just put it, it's really this simple.

01:03:02.000 If you want to have an argument with me about why Trump is bad, I'm listening, man.

01:03:07.000 Tell me, tell me, bring it on.

01:03:08.000 But we don't get that. 0.92

01:03:09.000 We just get, like, ridiculous nonsense, no real arguments about policy. 0.61

01:03:13.000 They say, he failed us with COVID.

01:03:15.000 What did he do wrong?

01:03:16.000 I had my parents.

01:03:17.000 What did he do wrong?

01:03:18.000 My parents had an impeach Trump sticker on their back door when I went back to their house one time.

01:03:22.000 I was like, what are you going to impeach him for?

01:03:24.000 And neither of them had any idea.

01:03:25.000 So I left.

01:03:26.000 I came back several months later and the sticker was gone.

01:03:29.000 There is semblance of intelligence in even the most whack, you know, not that they're the most whack, but I think people when faced with the truth or like the reality of the situation sometimes can see that Trump's not a demon.

01:03:42.000 He's kind of a normal guy.

01:03:43.000 You can go look at my videos.

01:03:45.000 And from like 2018, and I'm saying things like, look, Trump's not that bad, but come on, man.

01:03:50.000 Missile strikes in Syria, drone, drone strikes, commando raids.

01:03:53.000 He's not doing great, you know, relative to foreign policy.

01:03:56.000 So as far as I'm concerned, then what's happened in the past year?

01:03:59.000 I used to say specifically, like for me, foreign policy is a big deal.

01:04:02.000 Yeah.

01:04:03.000 What, what, what, what are we spending our money on?

01:04:04.000 Why are we spending it?

01:04:05.000 Why are we getting involved in other people's business?

01:04:07.000 Yep.

01:04:07.000 I understand sometimes like war happens and there's like conflicts between allies and people need our help.

01:04:12.000 Sure.

01:04:13.000 What does that have to do with us?

01:04:14.000 Yeah, and like, why are we aiding the Saudis in Yemen, for example?

01:04:16.000 That's one thing that really upsets me about Trump, is that he's kept that going.

01:04:20.000 Money.

01:04:20.000 Yeah.

01:04:20.000 But he admitted it.

01:04:22.000 Interesting, I didn't hear that.

01:04:23.000 Yeah, he just blurted it out.

01:04:24.000 He was like, oh, we're making tons of money selling weapons to the Saudis.

01:04:27.000 Really?

01:04:27.000 Oh, that's so horrible.

01:04:28.000 Yeah, I know that Boeing profited like five hundred- But at least he said it.

01:04:30.000 Yeah, and I know that what, Boeing profited like $500 billion servicing the F-12s that the Saudi Arabian government is using, which are sometimes used to bomb like fishing boats and fog.

01:04:39.000 It's really evil stuff.

01:04:40.000 I mean, the weapons we supplied, the Russians, sorry to interrupt there, is the same weapons that Al-Qaeda used.

01:04:45.000 I just want to make sure I finish that point, too.

01:04:47.000 Yeah, sure, sure.

01:04:48.000 The past year, Trump has been, historic peace deals, look, he's got no new wars.

01:04:53.000 So we did have the, you know, he was sort of playing the old game of the existing wars.

01:04:58.000 No new wars.

01:04:59.000 We have historic peace deals, three historic peace deals.

01:05:02.000 We have the withdrawal of the troops.

01:05:03.000 I got very little complaint about it anymore.

01:05:05.000 His character?

01:05:06.000 Sure, but that's not the biggest factor.

01:05:07.000 It's not even in the top five.

01:05:08.000 I should clarify, the weapons we supplied, I think it was the Afghani people against the Russians in the 80s.

01:05:12.000 Oh yeah, the Mujahideen? 0.99

01:05:13.000 Yeah.

01:05:13.000 Then they used those weapons against us.

01:05:17.000 Yep.

01:05:17.000 Hey, do you guys think that the job of the president is like, no good and should be changed?

01:05:23.000 Like too much power for one person that we could formulate the power structure better?

01:05:27.000 I think Trump is showing that the office can really be curtailed so long as we have a Congress willing to do it.

01:05:33.000 Hmm.

01:05:34.000 Like, I used to complain about the expansion of executive authority, but the reality was Congress just giving the power and just agreeing.

01:05:41.000 But now that we have this psychotic, you know, two years of Democrat impeach screech and get nothing done, now you can really see how they've screwed up Trump's plans every which way constantly.

01:05:52.000 They won't confirm, you know, his appointees and things like that.

01:05:54.000 So, you know, his staff has been, I think it's like a historically thin staff because they won't confirm a lot of people he's trying to put on.

01:06:01.000 I can't get specific on that.

01:06:02.000 But I look at what they do, and what Trump wanted to do, and how they're jamming him up to an absurd degree, and I'm like, you know, part of me, I'm kind of like, I like the idea that the executive branch is kind of getting some comeuppance and getting their power pulled back, but it's a little bit too much.

01:06:17.000 Like, they've gone insane.

01:06:18.000 It's one thing to be like, handle something should be the one handling it, and we should only go up to, um, A higher, more powerful, or centralized authority, if we absolutely have to.

01:06:28.000 But that's not what we've done in this country, man.

01:06:30.000 Over the past hundred years, so much has become federalized.

01:06:33.000 It's the school system, particularly.

01:06:35.000 Yeah.

01:06:36.000 And the idea of a public school system is actually really insane to me, the more that I think about it.

01:06:39.000 Something you take for granted growing up, but the idea that we just sort of let the government raise our kids.

01:06:44.000 It's kind of unthinkable, especially in the United States.

01:06:46.000 I mean, I'm not in favor of either of these systems, but in some ways, I think you could argue that a universal health care system or the government being in charge of health care would be more appropriate to the American vision than the government being in charge of educating everyone's children.

01:06:58.000 It's showing now, too, with COVID being—just the weirdness of kids having to wear masks and etc.

01:07:03.000 No, no, no, it's the kids in cubicles, like, they've spaced all the chairs out and then put them in these plastic bins.

01:07:10.000 I'm becoming more of a proponent of homeschooling over time, and it's not just because the evidence has really borne out the fact that homeschooling kids tend to perform better, but it's the fact that when you really examine the situation, we don't even have to look at this through the metric of efficiency, we just have to say, is making a child sit in a desk for six to eight hours a day throughout their entire childhood a good thing to do to somebody?

01:07:32.000 It wasn't for me, man.

01:07:33.000 Productive adult.

01:07:33.000 Yeah, it wasn't for me.

01:07:35.000 I went to public school and look, I had a lot of great teachers.

01:07:38.000 I love basically every teacher that I ever had.

01:07:40.000 I'm not criticizing them, but the system is so broken and I just don't think it's optimal for educating our children.

01:07:45.000 And it's not just that it isn't optimal.

01:07:47.000 I'm not just making an efficiency argument.

01:07:48.000 I'm making a moral argument.

01:07:49.000 It's not good for them.

01:07:51.000 It wasn't good for me.

01:07:51.000 I got pushed around and bullied, you know, ha ha ha.

01:07:54.000 But like, I would wait for other kids in the class to figure it out, and they wouldn't call on me anymore.

01:07:59.000 I was like, I already got it.

01:08:00.000 Come on, let's move on to the next problem.

01:08:01.000 Let's fix, let's move, move, move.

01:08:03.000 And I was in the wrong environment.

01:08:04.000 I couldn't figure it out.

01:08:05.000 There are places that kids can go if they're smarter or dumber than other kids, but, you know, for the most part, you just go to public school.

01:08:11.000 And that's just such a mess.

01:08:12.000 I think one of the biggest problems we have in this country is that from the ages of zero to five, kids don't do anything.

01:08:17.000 Hmm.

01:08:17.000 Do nothing.

01:08:19.000 What is it?

01:08:19.000 Kindergarten is five years old?

01:08:20.000 Yeah.

01:08:21.000 So what are you doing through these extremely important years of your life sitting around watching TV?

01:08:24.000 Well, yeah, that's a problem if you just like sit your kid in front of the TV.

01:08:27.000 Then this is why you need attentive parents, which is part of why I'm a proponent of homeschooling, right?

01:08:30.000 Because it's not as if you just wait until that kid is five.

01:08:33.000 The education starts early.

01:08:35.000 And nobody is ever going to understand a child's mind better than their own parents will.

01:08:40.000 And like, homeschooling isn't always just one parent homeschooling the kid.

01:08:42.000 You have co-ops and you have different parents getting together in the neighborhood and educating, you know, taking shifts with the kids.

01:08:48.000 But I mean, smaller classroom sizes, better test scores.

01:08:51.000 Again, I think all the evidence is there for it, but... I think Peterson said that the kids' most formative years were like one to three.

01:08:59.000 Really?

01:08:59.000 Yep.

01:09:00.000 That's fascinating.

01:09:01.000 So I often ask people, if you want to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life, ask yourself what you were doing at a certain age.

01:09:07.000 Like, what were you doing when you were 13?

01:09:10.000 Most people don't have a good answer about what they were doing.

01:09:13.000 So I was talking to a friend of mine and I said, what were you doing when you were 13 years old?

01:09:17.000 And they responded, I don't know, hanging out with my friends.

01:09:19.000 And I was like, you want to open a bar?

01:09:20.000 And she went, oh! 0.99

01:09:23.000 And I'm like, yeah, because you want to hang out with people, you just want to sit around and drink, so open a bar and then people will come and you'll be hanging out, you'll be doing what you did.

01:09:29.000 I thought about this because I'm like, I know a bunch of people who went on to become, like, successful in various industries, skateboarding and music, and they've been doing it literally their whole lives.

01:09:40.000 I had this really funny thought, like, you know we say it's like riding a bike?

01:09:43.000 It's so easy to ride a bike, isn't it?

01:09:45.000 No, it's easy because you were like, you know, two or three years old and your parents put you on the bike and then had you ride with training wheels.

01:09:51.000 So from your entire existence, we've been taught how to ride bikes.

01:09:54.000 Guess what?

01:09:54.000 You're an adult, you can get on a bike, you know how to do it.

01:09:56.000 Imagine if instead of putting on a bike, or in addition to it, we taught them how to do math.

01:10:01.000 You showed them complex equations, and you started teaching them more and more things, or you gave them a skill.

01:10:06.000 Look, riding a bike is an important thing.

01:10:08.000 I'm glad I know how to do it.

01:10:10.000 And I have memorized the cheat code for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.

01:10:15.000 I've known this forever.

01:10:16.000 It's B-A-B-A-up-down-B-A-left-right-B-A-spark-start.

01:10:19.000 Why do I know that?

01:10:19.000 It gives you level select and ten lives.

01:10:21.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:10:22.000 That game was tough.

01:10:23.000 Why do I know that?

01:10:24.000 I haven't played that game in, like, 25 years.

01:10:27.000 Repetition in early parts of your life.

01:10:29.000 I was a little kid.

01:10:31.000 And that's what I was, I was playing a game and I was taught this and I never forgot it.

01:10:34.000 Dude, memorizing phone numbers, I don't know if you guys used to.

01:10:36.000 Oh yeah.

01:10:37.000 And I had, this was before cell phone stuff, I have a book of all my friends' phone numbers and I just go down the list and memorize all the numbers.

01:10:43.000 That's awesome.

01:10:43.000 Just have them all in my head.

01:10:44.000 But it was great for like memory retention.

01:10:46.000 Yeah, back in the day when you needed to know who's number, like, how old are you, James?

01:10:50.000 I'm 25.

01:10:51.000 So you don't... No, I remember having to memorize people's numbers.

01:10:54.000 I mean, I didn't get my first cell phone until high school, so I did quite a bit for them.

01:10:58.000 And now I don't remember anybody's phone number.

01:10:59.000 No, never.

01:11:00.000 It's sad that you just lose it.

01:11:01.000 Yeah.

01:11:02.000 I used to remember, like, 50 to 100 phone numbers.

01:11:05.000 Yeah?

01:11:05.000 It's like, oh yeah.

01:11:06.000 Now it's... You know what's gonna happen is... I was watching an episode of Outer Limits.

01:11:11.000 We're just gonna have our brains plugged in, like a neural link or something.

01:11:13.000 But what if the power goes out?

01:11:15.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:11:15.000 It's so theoretical to me.

01:11:16.000 and they're like, oh no, man, I really hope not.

01:11:19.000 I really hope not.

01:11:19.000 I'm not volunteering for that if it ever becomes reality.

01:11:22.000 Because I wonder I'm skeptical of the fact that we ever really

01:11:24.000 could solar flare it out.

01:11:26.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:11:27.000 It's so theoretical to me.

01:11:28.000 I just I'm just so skeptical of all of that.

01:11:32.000 I feel like so many predictions, whenever we make predictions for the future, this is going to sound so, um, this is actually going to sound really, really, uh, how should I put this?

01:11:40.000 Vapid.

01:11:41.000 But look, I mean, the reality is either people like way over predict or way under predict.

01:11:45.000 When you like look at a magazine, like from the early 1900s, what will the year 1909 look like?

01:11:50.000 Firefighters would be flying.

01:11:52.000 Yeah.

01:11:52.000 Yeah, I remember I saw one where everyone was transported around in these, like, large hot air balloons.

01:11:58.000 It's very cool looking, but every time I hear a prediction of the future, I just, I look and I think about that.

01:12:02.000 I think I already know the answer, but would you plug your brain into the neural net?

01:12:05.000 100% no, never.

01:12:07.000 Would you consider it?

01:12:08.000 Would you wait?

01:12:08.000 No, I just wouldn't.

01:12:09.000 I don't think I would do it.

01:12:11.000 You don't want to join the Borg?

01:12:12.000 Absolutely not.

01:12:13.000 I understand that resistance is futile.

01:12:14.000 Exactly.

01:12:16.000 Not for me.

01:12:17.000 This is why we need the Second Amendment. 0.99

01:12:19.000 Yeah, no Neuralink!

01:12:20.000 But what if Neuralink gives you the ability to, like, experience different worlds and, like, virtual reality and... No.

01:12:27.000 This world's enough.

01:12:28.000 Is it?

01:12:28.000 Yeah.

01:12:28.000 But you can't fly around shooting laser beams out of your eyes and throwing fireballs at the, you know, the evil... You can't.

01:12:35.000 You can't.

01:12:35.000 You don't know what it is.

01:12:36.000 What if it made you able to draw your art faster and better?

01:12:41.000 Oh, that's a good question.

01:12:42.000 I would still just want to use the computer.

01:12:43.000 What if you could download, like, jiu-jitsu?

01:12:47.000 And then you just, like, you know, like the Matrix, and you just click the thing, and then you're like, whoa!

01:12:51.000 And then you just knew everything.

01:12:52.000 I just feel like there would be so many unintended consequences and implications to that that I can't even begin to comprehend, that I just can't agree with.

01:13:01.000 What I'm afraid of is that other people will plug in and then they'll start doing, like for you for instance, they'd start drawing and so many people would be able to do exactly what you did but better, faster, that you'd fall behind.

01:13:11.000 Communism.

01:13:13.000 Uh-oh.

01:13:13.000 Digital communism.

01:13:15.000 Yeah.

01:13:15.000 Neuralink.

01:13:16.000 Everyone would be the same.

01:13:18.000 I would plug in, you'd plug in, and then we would sync, and I would have all of your abilities.

01:13:22.000 Oh my goodness.

01:13:22.000 Now I'd be like, now I am the freedom genius.

01:13:25.000 You'd steal from me.

01:13:26.000 That's exactly why I don't plug in.

01:13:27.000 I don't want anyone to steal my ideas.

01:13:29.000 That's the whole reason I'm afraid here.

01:13:32.000 So, uh, I want to just say one thing real quick.

01:13:33.000 Sorry to everybody about the internet, man.

01:13:35.000 It's like, it's cutting in and out.

01:13:36.000 It's really bad.

01:13:37.000 Oh no!

01:13:38.000 But it's fine because we're gonna, we're gonna, this will be uploaded in, in, in clips the next day and we're gonna get everything fixed by like probably tomorrow.

01:13:44.000 We, we were climbing on the roof today laying cables and stuff and we've had... Beautiful.

01:13:48.000 It's like, it's, it's, it's giving us IP issues.

01:13:51.000 and so it's just causing the internet to cut in and out and uh... but we're gonna

01:13:54.000 put up the full podcast on itunes and everything and the clips will be up tomorrow so

01:13:58.000 you know what will uh... what will keep talking about stuff about we uh... we jump over to uh...

01:14:03.000 bloomberg trying to buy the florida vote may a bloomberg so this next story

01:14:08.000 From the Daily Mail.

01:14:09.000 Is Bloomberg trying to buy the Florida vote?

01:14:11.000 Billionaire pays off more than 20 million dollars in debt for 31,000 felons so they can vote in the state where just

01:14:19.000 537 votes decided the presidential election in 2000 Wow, is it a dirty move to give people the right to vote?

01:14:26.000 No That's my initial thought

01:14:30.000 No way, man.

01:14:30.000 Liberate.

01:14:31.000 But he's a rich guy.

01:14:32.000 He's putting his thumb on the scale.

01:14:33.000 That's what we should use our money for is to help the people that are stuck.

01:14:37.000 Then why don't we just tell them they can vote?

01:14:39.000 Oh, well, we'd have to change the law to do that.

01:14:41.000 Yeah.

01:14:42.000 So I don't know.

01:14:42.000 What do you think?

01:14:43.000 Is this playing dirty or is this the right move?

01:14:46.000 Yeah, I mean, it strikes me as playing dirty, but I have obvious biases here.

01:14:48.000 I know that he's just trying to get somebody elected who I very much don't like.

01:14:51.000 I'm trying to think how I would feel if it was somebody doing that because they thought it would get a Republican elected and if I'd feel any different about it.

01:14:57.000 To me, I've become more and more wary of people just using massive amounts of money to try to influence political change.

01:15:03.000 But on the other hand, I'm sure if I had billions of dollars, I would probably attempt to do the same thing.

01:15:08.000 So it's difficult for me to say one way or the other.

01:15:10.000 I'm sorry, I'm being a bit of a fence-sitter here on this one, but it's something I need to give more thought to, because I just heard this story today, so I haven't really had time to fully put together my opinion on it.

01:15:18.000 How many right-wing people are dumping tons of money in to do similar things like this, but tell Trump?

01:15:23.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:15:24.000 Legit question, like how many do you know?

01:15:25.000 I don't know of any.

01:15:26.000 Because I've heard of like, we've all heard of the Koch brothers.

01:15:28.000 The MyPillow guy.

01:15:29.000 The MyPillow guy.

01:15:30.000 Oh, he's the biggest, you know.

01:15:31.000 I don't know anything about him.

01:15:32.000 Those pillows, no.

01:15:33.000 I mean, he does fund Tucker Carlson, basically.

01:15:37.000 Selling them pillows.

01:15:38.000 But the Mercers as well have been, like their name has popped up. 0.91

01:15:41.000 But it feels like there's way more left-wing rich people.

01:15:44.000 Isn't that interesting?

01:15:46.000 It's just very intellectually fashionable in their circles.

01:15:48.000 And it's funny because we know that they said they were not going to, like Disney, for example, wasn't going to film in Georgia anymore because of the heartbeat bill.

01:15:55.000 They said they could not in good conscience.

01:15:56.000 I believe maybe this was in third exact language, but the idea was they could never film in a state that limited a woman's right to choose to kill an unborn child.

01:16:03.000 And then they went and they filmed in China where there are Uyghur concentration camps.

01:16:07.000 And thanked the security forces that were enforcing it. 0.98

01:16:10.000 And some people are saying, oh, well, they're complete hypocrites. 0.94

01:16:13.000 I think it's even more insidious than that. 0.93

01:16:15.000 But they believe that they can put economic pressure on Georgia to change its laws.

01:16:20.000 Who are these people?

01:16:20.000 This is Disney.

01:16:22.000 And they're going to DMCA this.

01:16:24.000 Are you talking about Georgia the state or the country?

01:16:27.000 No, the state of Georgia.

01:16:29.000 Yeah, they said they wouldn't film there because of the pro-life ruling?

01:16:32.000 It was a heartbeat bill saying if there is a heartbeat, you cannot abort.

01:16:35.000 Wow, so it's politically expedient when it's expedient, but fiscal when it's fiscal?

01:16:40.000 Is that why they're in China?

01:16:41.000 It's fake.

01:16:42.000 It's because China has money and no one in China is going to complain and no one in America is going to complain about China, so they get away with it.

01:16:47.000 Yep.

01:16:47.000 This is like, everything we're seeing is what happens when there is no check on one political faction.

01:16:55.000 So the left controls, they have a monopoly on the culture, so they've gone insane.

01:16:59.000 Nothing makes sense, it's all just purely insane.

01:17:02.000 And the Republicans don't have a monopoly on government.

01:17:05.000 So I find it really funny when the left says, you know, I'm the counterculture revolutionary resistance, woohoo, Donald Trump is bad, and I'm like, Yeah, the Republicans control the presidency and the Senate.

01:17:16.000 That's powerful.

01:17:17.000 But, like, the left has all culture.

01:17:19.000 Colleges, TV, video games, everything.

01:17:21.000 Movies.

01:17:21.000 What about, like, foreign oligarchs that are funneling money through Panama that are helping?

01:17:27.000 I don't even know who they're helping.

01:17:28.000 Are they helping the Republicans?

01:17:30.000 Are they funding?

01:17:31.000 No, probably not.

01:17:32.000 I mean, if you want people setting up factories in your country where they pay dirt wages in sweatshops, Then Trump's not your guy.

01:17:41.000 Trump's the guy who's like, bring the factories back.

01:17:43.000 We already know that... Let me see if this is working.

01:17:46.000 I don't think it's working.

01:17:47.000 Are we working at all?

01:17:48.000 Yeah.

01:17:48.000 Yeah, I can hear you.

01:17:49.000 So we already know that Russia is favoring Trump, right?

01:17:53.000 And then China is favoring Biden.

01:17:55.000 Is this correct?

01:17:57.000 Because Biden is not going to be the one who brings the jobs back to the US.

01:18:01.000 No, Biden's gonna be the one who brings them back to China.

01:18:03.000 Well, what about this?

01:18:04.000 What if Russia spent $47,000 on Facebook ads, mostly unrelated to the election, and it changed American democracy forever?

01:18:10.000 Like, that's what happened.

01:18:12.000 Changed democracy.

01:18:13.000 I love how, like, that was this big smoking gun.

01:18:14.000 And it wasn't even Russia, actually.

01:18:15.000 It was Russian companies, right?

01:18:16.000 It wasn't even actually the Russian government.

01:18:18.000 But going back to that gang-stalking thing, where the people think they're being targeted, have you ever been called a Russian bot?

01:18:24.000 I have not yet.

01:18:25.000 I've been called worse things, but I'm sure at some point somebody's going to call me a Russian bot.

01:18:27.000 It's a really common thing.

01:18:28.000 You'll see people be like, you're a bot.

01:18:29.000 You're a Russian bot. 0.95

01:18:31.000 You're just a bot.

01:18:31.000 You're not real.

01:18:32.000 Everyone's a robot.

01:18:34.000 They're all twinging at me.

01:18:34.000 Do people call you the Tim bot yet?

01:18:36.000 No.

01:18:37.000 No?

01:18:37.000 What?

01:18:38.000 When Elon Musk plugs us in and does the Neuralink, we're all going to be Russian bots.

01:18:42.000 Vladimir Putin's going to hack us.

01:18:42.000 It's going to be great when we all get the Neuralink and then, you know, everyone just knows what everyone else is thinking.

01:18:48.000 Oh, yeah, that sounds fantastic.

01:18:49.000 I kind of like your idea.

01:18:50.000 I hate it.

01:18:51.000 Really?

01:18:52.000 Yeah, you have to have some privacy.

01:18:54.000 It's not going to work, because what if someone hacks your neural link?

01:18:58.000 Exactly.

01:18:58.000 And then what does that mean?

01:19:00.000 What did the neural link do to the pigs?

01:19:01.000 What was he doing?

01:19:02.000 It didn't look like it had any adverse effects.

01:19:04.000 No, but what was he doing?

01:19:05.000 Oh, they were measuring activity in the frontal lobe. 0.69

01:19:07.000 They found all of the pig's most embarrassing thoughts and then told its friends.

01:19:11.000 Yeah, you need to go deeper into the brain to get that stuff.

01:19:14.000 The threads are too thick right now.

01:19:16.000 But it was measuring like what they were smelling was translating into electrical impulses into different areas.

01:19:21.000 And then they could read like, kind of read what they were smelling, I think.

01:19:25.000 I saw a long time ago, probably like maybe three or four years ago, I saw a video about this little device they made that they hook up to a cockroach's antennas and it puts electrical signals to them, which makes the cockroach move in certain directions based on what it thinks it's sensing.

01:19:40.000 Yeah.

01:19:40.000 And it was like, I guess a little toy that they were like using with the remote control to move the roach around, which is really freaky.

01:19:45.000 And I think one of the scientists who was discussing, and I watched a couple videos on it, and they were doing experiments with beetles, and they said that they could tell that there were signals in the brain attempting to fight the electrical signals.

01:19:55.000 Dude!

01:19:56.000 So, yeah, it wasn't even as if this, yeah, it was actually fighting against the brain, but still making them do it.

01:20:03.000 Is that gonna happen?

01:20:03.000 Is that the future?

01:20:04.000 Well, so, I don't know.

01:20:05.000 I was actually watching something about how I don't know exactly what it was.

01:20:09.000 I was reading something about how if your equilibrium or the stuff in your ears that helps you keep balance, they could alter your sense of balance.

01:20:17.000 So you're standing perfectly still, but you feel like you're falling backwards.

01:20:20.000 So you start trying to move forward and they could control your movement by tricking your brain's balance.

01:20:26.000 So you're like, whatever, you know, yeah.

01:20:28.000 Dude, it's gonna make people control bots that have super abilities.

01:20:31.000 I just hope it all collapses.

01:20:32.000 If we could ever get to that point, I would like to think industrial society would just collapse before then.

01:20:37.000 Well, hold on.

01:20:38.000 Hold on.

01:20:39.000 Let's say there's somebody who's a violent murderer, right?

01:20:42.000 First, let me ask you your honest opinion.

01:20:43.000 What do you do with a violent murderer?

01:20:44.000 You catch them.

01:20:44.000 They're caught.

01:20:45.000 They're subdued.

01:20:45.000 They're cuffed or in the back of a car.

01:20:47.000 What do we do?

01:20:48.000 Really bad murder.

01:20:49.000 Really bad.

01:20:49.000 Yeah, I mean, bring them off to prison.

01:20:51.000 And then just pay for them to live in prison forever? 0.65

01:20:54.000 Yeah, I mean, I think if a society has the resources to sustain somebody like that without having to kill them, you should keep them alive.

01:21:01.000 And so, let's operate under the assumption that this guy says, I'll never stop!

01:21:06.000 Ha ha ha! 0.97

01:21:07.000 If you let me out, I'll kill again! 0.99

01:21:08.000 And wouldn't it be the option to give him a neural link instead, and then just disable murderous rampage?

01:21:15.000 Yeah, that's an interesting thought, because it's so hypothetical, and what you're talking about is taking a person's free will, but of course when we put somebody in prison, we're taking their freedom.

01:21:24.000 And it's worse.

01:21:25.000 Yeah, but we're also not taking away their ability to make choices.

01:21:28.000 That's really complicated, because then you start to get into the question of, well, what about the different...

01:21:32.000 Drugs that we give people to regulate their mood does that in some way take your free will from you because you're

01:21:38.000 modifying the way That your brain works. Obviously, that's a very different

01:21:41.000 example, but there's a spectrum some drugs We would agree do take your free will you're just not

01:21:45.000 really able to function on them and make Decisions you would make otherwise whereas some drugs not

01:21:50.000 as much like you know, like with a drug you might be

01:21:55.000 Prescribed for for depression or anxiety or something will will have different effects on your brain then than others

01:22:00.000 then maybe like hard street drugs But then the question is, yeah, at what point do you reach the limit?

01:22:05.000 I don't know.

01:22:05.000 I think the bigger fear I have, so I understand the idea.

01:22:08.000 I'm not necessarily a fan.

01:22:10.000 If you have like a violent murderer or a pedo or something, they'll never change. 0.61

01:22:14.000 You put a neural link, you click a button, boom, gone.

01:22:17.000 All those behaviors are removed.

01:22:19.000 Where's the line and who controls it?

01:22:20.000 That's the scary thing.

01:22:21.000 Yeah.

01:22:21.000 So let's say you end up as a right winger, and they're like, ooh, let's get rid of that, let's get rid of that.

01:22:27.000 And then what happens is, the reason why I'm really skeptical on the Neuralink stuff is, you might get the Neuralink thinking, it's gonna be great, I can connect to the internet, I can just think, I can play video games, I can literally go into Skyrim world, like have this thing into my brain, it's amazing!

01:22:40.000 And then someone can hack into your brain and be like, let's make this person a murderer, and they think they're a duck, and then you're gonna be like, running around going, Like bashing your face into people.

01:22:51.000 Like do you want to give someone access to your brain through the internet? 0.82

01:22:54.000 Nah.

01:22:55.000 So do you guys know about like pacemakers and like insulin pumps and stuff?

01:23:02.000 So these are things that people get because they would die without.

01:23:06.000 They also have wireless connections in them so you can control them because you can't go in the body.

01:23:11.000 So, people have hacked them.

01:23:13.000 Oh my goodness.

01:23:14.000 And if someone's got like a pacemaker and you hack it, you can do things to it.

01:23:18.000 That's horrible.

01:23:20.000 Right.

01:23:21.000 So the same thing with insulin pumps.

01:23:22.000 I went to, I think I was at DEFCON, which is the hacker convention, and there was someone doing a demo of how they could wirelessly hack an insulin pump, and... Did you just kill somebody?

01:23:31.000 So imagine you have a neural link, and Elon Musk's gonna be encrypted, and I'm like, oh come on, encrypted will be cracked, and then what?

01:23:37.000 And they're gonna keep playing the encryption race?

01:23:38.000 I'm not gonna be the guinea pig, just to link my brain to the network, so that someone, when someone cracks the latest encryption, they get access to my brain in any capacity.

01:23:47.000 I don't care for what reason.

01:23:48.000 I don't care if they're reading my vitals.

01:23:49.000 You know what they can learn from your vitals?

01:23:51.000 They can learn a lot about what you're doing.

01:23:53.000 They're gonna be like, looking at their phone, going, huh, Seamus is pooping.

01:23:57.000 Nah, that's okay, that's my private time.

01:23:59.000 You know, when I read the news, you leave me alone.

01:24:02.000 But Facebook knows just without even doing any of that stuff.

01:24:04.000 Because they can just, they know everything you're doing whenever you're doing it.

01:24:07.000 Have your location.

01:24:08.000 Like, we're already getting to that point.

01:24:10.000 And so I'll tell you this.

01:24:12.000 You know what, you know what?

01:24:13.000 Maybe the answer is, who cares?

01:24:15.000 Just Neuralink.

01:24:15.000 You know why?

01:24:16.000 We're already being manipulated.

01:24:18.000 Why does Twitter send me these random tweets?

01:24:20.000 You ever get this thing where it's like, so-and-so liked this.

01:24:24.000 And it just shows you and it's like, Donald Trump does a backflip off the White House.

01:24:27.000 I'm like, okay, so I really do think I think a better way to put it is what Michael Malice said actually

01:24:34.000 He said some really bad people got data on how much we're willing to it to take

01:24:38.000 So that's fascinating So they know they can do certain things because they know

01:24:43.000 how we behave and they'll do whatever they want Until we reach that line and then they'll dance right back, 0.97

01:24:47.000 you know off of it But, my main point about Neuralink is, the things you see on Facebook, the algorithm, it's gonna shape what you wanna do, when you wanna do it.

01:24:58.000 I mean, I was reading something about studies where it said like, a certain color room will have a certain effect on you, like a red room will make you angrier, a blue room will calm you down, a yellow room makes you hungry, or is more likely to.

01:25:09.000 So what happens if Facebook decides, you know those colored boxes that appear with text in them?

01:25:14.000 What if they say, we're gonna show only the red ones to the Antifa people, and so they're inundated by all this red and black, and they're just constantly like, rawr, and like angry. 0.89

01:25:22.000 Even simpler with a neural net, you could have someone see like a red haze over everything, a red filter, and then they would get desensitized, wouldn't even realize they're looking through red, and it might change their subconscious behavior.

01:25:34.000 I don't know to what extent Neuralink could actually alter your brain.

01:25:38.000 Alter the way you see.

01:25:39.000 They say it's gonna make you see in infrared, I'm sure there's so much over-promising with that, too, though.

01:25:47.000 He did say he was going to relaunch and land rockets, and he made it happen, like, in three years.

01:25:51.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:25:53.000 And he's building the Starship to Mars.

01:25:55.000 He's building it.

01:25:56.000 So, I'll tell you what, man.

01:25:58.000 You know what I want?

01:25:59.000 I want to play Skyrim.

01:26:00.000 Or whatever the next Elder Scrolls is.

01:26:02.000 I'm going to sit in my chair, and I'm going to press the button and just, like, donk out.

01:26:06.000 And then I'm going to be in, you know, six games at the same time.

01:26:10.000 Don't do it, Tim.

01:26:11.000 I wonder, yeah, so that's interesting.

01:26:13.000 Imagine if we could get to, again, extremely theoretical, but if we could get to a point where you could read somebody's thoughts or at the very least detect what kind of mood they're in, and then you could sort of peek in and examine what mood they are in when certain concepts are being explained to them, then you'd be able to evaluate their political views or whether or not they hold perspectives you consider to be unsavory.

01:26:30.000 That's scary.

01:26:31.000 Yep.

01:26:32.000 But what's awesome is if you're playing Skyrim and then you forget you're playing Skyrim and you start playing another game with your Skyrim character and you're in the other game, you'll like your- I think people would lose their mi- I don't think people's psyche could handle that.

01:26:42.000 They would think that they were in a video game once they were outside of the video game.

01:26:45.000 Guys, guys.

01:26:46.000 You're in the game right now.

01:26:47.000 No, stop.

01:26:48.000 I'm telling you keep telling me that I think you're right.

01:26:50.000 No way.

01:26:53.000 This is really funny comic where it's a there's like a guy opens a bag and there's a silica gel packet in it.

01:26:59.000 Have you have you guys you know, it's like a gel packets.

01:27:01.000 No.

01:27:02.000 So when you when you buy like a piece of equipment, there's a packet.

01:27:04.000 It's a silica gel.

01:27:05.000 It absorbs absorbs moisture.

01:27:06.000 Okay.

01:27:07.000 It says silica gel, do not eat.

01:27:09.000 And so the first panel shows him like opening the bag and he sees it.

01:27:12.000 And then he, and then he looks at it and he goes, big silica is not going to tell me what to do.

01:27:15.000 And he throws it in his mouth.

01:27:17.000 Then the next panel is him like a shocked face.

01:27:19.000 And then the last panel is him with a hat on with like wires coming out of it.

01:27:23.000 And he's in a hospital and there's two doctors saying, congratulations, you've escaped the simulation.

01:27:27.000 I saw that one.

01:27:29.000 No, that is very funny.

01:27:30.000 I saw that one.

01:27:30.000 That cracked me up.

01:27:31.000 I love it.

01:27:34.000 I wonder if we're being controlled from a distance.

01:27:37.000 I don't think so.

01:27:37.000 In what way?

01:27:38.000 Like, our brains are electromagnetically being told how to pull on our muscles.

01:27:42.000 Like, we got these jellyfish creatures in us, like the brain and brain stem, floating in this meat sack.

01:27:48.000 That's basically what we are, is the brains and the brain stem, this creature that's, like, with electrical impulses, pulls on the muscles.

01:27:54.000 I think that seeing the brain is too separate from you, though.

01:27:56.000 I mean, like, we're a body-soul composite, and your brain is part of you.

01:27:59.000 Your brain is not the separate thing.

01:28:00.000 All of you is you.

01:28:01.000 All of you is you, though.

01:28:04.000 Is it, man?

01:28:05.000 Yeah, I believe so.

01:28:05.000 Why are we pulling on meat?

01:28:07.000 I don't think so.

01:28:07.000 No, man.

01:28:07.000 Haven't you ever heard stories about how, like, when people get organ transplants, and then all of a sudden they, like, get memories, or they, like, pick up behaviors?

01:28:14.000 I don't know if any of that's true.

01:28:15.000 Yeah, I have no clue.

01:28:16.000 There's neurons in your stomach.

01:28:17.000 I assume not, but you never know.

01:28:18.000 Definitely.

01:28:18.000 It's more than your brain, because they have neurons in other muscles.

01:28:21.000 Well, I don't even know, but I guess you're sort of boiling it down to neurons are you, and I would say you extend beyond neurons.

01:28:27.000 So, like, is there something out there that's you that's telling your neurons how to behave?

01:28:31.000 Or maybe out there, maybe in you.

01:28:32.000 I mean, I believe in a soul, and I believe that we are a body-soul composite, so I wouldn't limit me to just my brain and say that my body is something separate from it, or that my soul is something separate from it.

01:28:41.000 I think you are all of it.

01:28:42.000 I think I figured it out, bro.

01:28:44.000 Oh no.

01:28:44.000 The answer to everything.

01:28:45.000 What is it?

01:28:46.000 It's not a simulation that we're in.

01:28:48.000 We're in a video game, alright?

01:28:50.000 Your soul is actually you, like you're playing the video game, right?

01:28:55.000 And heaven is when you beat the game and you get the awards after the game is over.

01:29:00.000 And guess what the point of the game is?

01:29:02.000 High score, baby!

01:29:03.000 Make as much money, hoard it all!

01:29:04.000 Oh my goodness!

01:29:06.000 Oh my goodness!

01:29:07.000 I got more points than you!

01:29:09.000 Different goals for different people, because some people want to have the best body.

01:29:12.000 Some people want to have the most money.

01:29:14.000 Some people want to see the most people alive.

01:29:16.000 Listen, you can play Skyrim and level yourself up to level 99 and still not beat the game.

01:29:21.000 But it's like, it's like The Sims.

01:29:22.000 Have you ever heard of The Sims?

01:29:23.000 Different Sims have different aspirations.

01:29:25.000 Sure, sure.

01:29:25.000 But let's say, let's say you right now are at an, you know, Donald Trump's legacy.

01:29:30.000 That's the video game.

01:29:31.000 It's called President Trump.

01:29:32.000 That's the video game.

01:29:33.000 And you're right now at a competition to beat the game the fastest to win the award or whatever.

01:29:38.000 And in order to beat the game, you got to do a bunch of things.

01:29:39.000 And instead, you're sitting around talking about, what, space and Neuralinks and whatever.

01:29:44.000 And they're saying the point of the game, you win when you break, you know, 10 million points.

01:29:49.000 And you're saying you're not even trying to get 10 million points.

01:29:51.000 How do you get the points, though?

01:29:52.000 It's money.

01:29:53.000 Is that it?

01:29:54.000 Is this the meaning of life is money?

01:29:55.000 Just collect as much money as possible so you don't die.

01:29:57.000 Thank God that's not true.

01:29:58.000 Currency got invented.

01:29:59.000 That'd be so horrible.

01:30:00.000 When was currency invented?

01:30:00.000 40,000?

01:30:00.000 Currency got invented.

01:30:01.000 That'd be so horrible.

01:30:02.000 Like, before, when was currency invented?

01:30:04.000 40,000?

01:30:05.000 No, not that long ago.

01:30:07.000 It didn't used to exist.

01:30:08.000 Yeah.

01:30:09.000 Well, people have developed currency in isolation, too, though.

01:30:12.000 It was not as if, like, John Q. Currency invented it, and then we started using it after.

01:30:16.000 I think, like, in some places they used shells and other beads, or I think different kinds of flowers.

01:30:19.000 It was just something that the people perceived as scarce and valuable, and it became a common medium of exchange.

01:30:24.000 You know what is the future currency?

01:30:26.000 Electricity.

01:30:27.000 They actually call it currency.

01:30:30.000 Electrical current is currency.

01:30:32.000 No, I don't think so.

01:30:33.000 It's literal.

01:30:33.000 I think energy is the basis for the value of a lot of currency, though.

01:30:37.000 I mean, so you think about why does a dollar have value, and then you try and determine what is a living wage, and what does a person deserve, and the value of a dollar is tied to what you can get for it.

01:30:48.000 Yeah.

01:30:49.000 And it comes down to energy.

01:30:50.000 So human labor is extremely expensive.

01:30:53.000 Extremely expensive.

01:30:54.000 So we've started replacing human labor over and over again throughout history, right?

01:30:58.000 Very early on in human existence, human labor was everything.

01:31:01.000 A human would build, a human would pull, a human would drag stuff. 1.00

01:31:04.000 And then we were like, yo, that big thing with hooves is bigger than me.

01:31:08.000 Let's tie stuff to it, make it carry it.

01:31:09.000 And then it would.

01:31:10.000 And then we started using animal energy.

01:31:12.000 Then we started learning about, you know, burning carbon for energy.

01:31:16.000 We've continually improved the different sources of energy and how to manipulate the energy.

01:31:21.000 And so, I guess, based on like the petrodollar and stuff and the way war works and oil, the basis of our currency is very much so energy return.

01:31:31.000 So, it's mostly oil, right?

01:31:33.000 Why does someone want any money?

01:31:35.000 Because the oil you can get for it, you can use to build, and you don't need humans.

01:31:38.000 Like, the amount of energy compared to, like, what a human can produce, versus what a machine can do, lifting, like... We see the... I love ancient aliens, and they talk about, like, how did humans possibly live these giant stones?

01:31:49.000 And they could!

01:31:50.000 I watched this really cool one.

01:31:52.000 Where this dude, he like, took, it was a gigantic, like, multi-ton stone, and he hammered a wooden wedge under it, and then started rocking it back and forth.

01:32:02.000 And then he dug a hole, and then it flipped over.

01:32:04.000 And he was like, that's how you do it.

01:32:05.000 You use its own weight, and you apply very little energy to wobble it.

01:32:09.000 If you had a crane, you could just move it.

01:32:11.000 Just like that.

01:32:12.000 So if you have the oil, you don't need the people.

01:32:15.000 So the energy coming is way more valuable.

01:32:17.000 So we've been replacing human labor with machine labor, and that's the problem.

01:32:22.000 The Industrial Revolution had riots, and there's going to be a free energy riot.

01:32:29.000 I mean, the conspiracy theory is that free energy, or some form of it, at least in our system, it would be equivalent to free as far as we're concerned.

01:32:38.000 is being withheld because it would lead to widespread riots and discord and collapse, and we don't want that to happen.

01:32:43.000 I don't think I believe that, because that's just, like, out there.

01:32:46.000 But, I mean, the idea makes sense, so people believe it, whether or not they have evidence.

01:32:51.000 But Andrew Yang talks about how automation is going to be the next industrial revolution.

01:32:56.000 People are going to lose their jobs because we're going to replace them with more efficient systems.

01:33:00.000 And we don't need the energy they can produce, because it's dramatically less than the computer.

01:33:04.000 The computer takes a little bit of energy and it can do 10 times.

01:33:08.000 You just tap the thing, boop, boop, boop, and I got my cheeseburger with extra, you know, ketchup or whatever.

01:33:12.000 Talking to the person, man, that's a lot of work.

01:33:13.000 You know what else Andrew Yang suggested is that we get every cop a blue belt, no, there's a purple belt in jiu-jitsu.

01:33:20.000 Every police officer should study jiu-jitsu.

01:33:23.000 Yeah, but then they can't even do chokeholds.

01:33:26.000 Not yet.

01:33:27.000 I think my thing with there being a second industrial revolution because of our technology is that, I mean, in the long run, yes, there were problems and there were some pretty short-term hiccups and serious ones.

01:33:36.000 I don't mean to delegitimize those or say there weren't actual problems, but in the long run, we have benefited immensely from the industrial revolution.

01:33:42.000 So a second technological revolution would probably be very good for us, at least materially speaking.

01:33:46.000 And they're afraid of the short-term chaos.

01:33:48.000 Yeah, they're afraid of the short-term chaos and probably wondering how we could mitigate that, which I think is probably a fair concern if we really get to that point.

01:33:54.000 I don't know if I bind the idea that we are going to get to the point where human labor is so unnecessary that we will have these riots, but maybe.

01:34:02.000 I don't know.

01:34:03.000 That's why humans need skills.

01:34:04.000 Yes.

01:34:05.000 Something you can do beyond what the machines can do.

01:34:07.000 And so that's why I think a lot of people are like, college is the answer, college is the key.

01:34:11.000 But college doesn't work that way.

01:34:12.000 It doesn't give people these skills.

01:34:14.000 It actually hurts them.

01:34:15.000 It gives administrators jobs.

01:34:17.000 That's what it does.

01:34:18.000 Improving your own body is pretty fun, because no computer can do that for you.

01:34:22.000 I think it's funny how they, you know, I hear from so many of these commies, they're like, don't you want to live like how Star Trek was?

01:34:29.000 And I'm like, but that's not what you're doing.

01:34:31.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:34:31.000 I love that.

01:34:32.000 Like, just referencing science fiction and being like, wouldn't that be great?

01:34:35.000 Look at this fantasy of something that's never happened that somebody imagined to be great.

01:34:39.000 Wouldn't that be great?

01:34:40.000 Yes.

01:34:41.000 I got into an argument with a DSA person who was saying, like, don't you want to live like Star Trek?

01:34:46.000 And I said, sure, once we have replicators and we're post-scarcity, we can have a conversation about how our government works.

01:34:52.000 And they said, dude, scarcity doesn't exist.

01:34:54.000 Wow.

01:34:54.000 And I was like, What?

01:34:57.000 Like, have we cured every cancer?

01:34:59.000 Okay, then clearly the treatments that exist are scarce.

01:35:02.000 In fact, some of them don't even exist.

01:35:05.000 And they didn't get it, like, nah man, you're just propaganda.

01:35:07.000 And I'm like, so you think- What?

01:35:08.000 Actually, I kid you not, I said, do you think the hospital has a cure for all diseases?

01:35:12.000 Yes.

01:35:13.000 It's conspiracy theory stuff.

01:35:14.000 It's insane.

01:35:15.000 They think it's- you ever see the movie Elysium?

01:35:18.000 I'm familiar with the concept.

01:35:19.000 It's like the giant ring floating in space where all the rich people live and they all speak French and all the poor people speak Spanish.

01:35:24.000 And the movie's predicated upon this idea that rich people have these machines that you go and it cures you of all ailment.

01:35:30.000 And they just won't give it to the poor people for no reason. 1.00

01:35:32.000 They just won't share it because they're big jerks. 1.00

01:35:34.000 Exactly. 0.98

01:35:35.000 And then a bunch of ships crash into Elysium, and then they're like, now we're gonna reset the system, and then everyone can have stuff.

01:35:43.000 And then they send all the pods down, and then everyone gets cured!

01:35:46.000 Yay! 0.99

01:35:47.000 Because how many pods were there, and how many people were there?

01:35:49.000 They never really answered that question.

01:35:51.000 They should do an after-credits scene where it's like everything's destroyed and everyone's suffering now, and now there's just nothing.

01:35:56.000 There's no rich people, there's no cure for anything, no one can get cured.

01:35:59.000 Congratulations, you burnt it to the ground.

01:36:01.000 Because?

01:36:01.000 Oh, I was much less interesting than whatever you were gonna say.

01:36:04.000 Okay, well, don't put that much faith in me, but I appreciate it.

01:36:09.000 Even if we did reach a point where society was like Star Trek and you could fabricate any material thing in some kind of replicator, There would still be a scarcity of time.

01:36:17.000 You would still only have so much on the planet.

01:36:19.000 So scarcity will literally never disappear.

01:36:21.000 Scarcity will always exist.

01:36:22.000 It always exists.

01:36:23.000 There's only so much time you're on this planet for.

01:36:24.000 And it's not just that.

01:36:25.000 Unless we have god-tier powers where we can manipulate reality, we're not going to get to a point where we've solved every problem.

01:36:31.000 Problems will always exist.

01:36:32.000 Think about it this way.

01:36:33.000 Let's say humans are immortal.

01:36:34.000 Completely immortal.

01:36:35.000 Alright, now we're immortal beings, we can fly, we can shoot laser beams out of our eyes, we have all these powers, and then one day Ian is like, yo, I'm gonna go to Alpha Centauri, I'll be back for lunch, and he bursts off into flyaway, and then, meteor hits him.

01:36:50.000 Smack.

01:36:50.000 Ian explodes into a million pieces, and we're like, no!

01:36:53.000 You guys might be doing that.

01:36:54.000 Then the news cycle comes out and they're like, the problems of meteors crashing into

01:36:59.000 our cities needs to stop.

01:37:01.000 And then they need to solve the problem.

01:37:03.000 And then they create force fields and then the force fields, you know, there's always

01:37:06.000 going to be something until we can literally just like think and then do whatever we want.

01:37:10.000 It's never going to happen.

01:37:11.000 There's always going to be problems.

01:37:12.000 We need problems.

01:37:13.000 It's not that we need them.

01:37:14.000 It's that we're never even going to get to a point where we're teleporting and like flying

01:37:18.000 around and shooting laser beams.

01:37:20.000 It's always going to be like, okay, we're immortal now, but Ian got hit by a bus.

01:37:23.000 We couldn't save him.

01:37:24.000 Immortal but not indestructible.

01:37:26.000 That's one of the fears of living forever.

01:37:27.000 Biological immortality.

01:37:28.000 That's how much more of a tragedy it would be if someone got killed by an accident if we were supposed to live until 10,000.

01:37:33.000 And it would be inevitable that everyone would just get killed by an accident at some point.

01:37:37.000 That would be devastating.

01:37:39.000 No, it is interesting.

01:37:40.000 Let's jump to Super Chats.

01:37:42.000 We have a bunch of people who have questions, and again, to everybody who's watching, I know a lot of people have dipped out just because the internet's been cutting in and out, and I'll tell you exactly what happened.

01:37:52.000 We ran 300 feet of cable, and the computer's giving us an Ethernet IP error, and I've gone through everything, and it just doesn't work.

01:38:00.000 So we're actually using a mesh network, which is causing us problems now.

01:38:03.000 Welcome to living in the middle of nowhere.

01:38:05.000 But I would like to send a special message to Verizon.

01:38:08.000 It has now been about three months where you haven't laid the cables down yet, and you told us it would be about a week, so I'm hoping you hear this, and Verizon, please help us get the internet you promised us installed, because I would like to be a customer of your business, and I guess I can't.

01:38:23.000 But that being said, thanks for everybody hanging out, and we're going to have the full podcast up on iTunes.

01:38:29.000 And, uh, we'll put up clips throughout the day tomorrow, so everything's gonna be high-quality HD, because we record this in-house as well.

01:38:34.000 And, uh, smash the like button, if you think we deserve it.

01:38:37.000 Otherwise, blame the internet!

01:38:38.000 Uh, but let's read some of the, uh, some of the comments.

01:38:41.000 Someone said, spin the UFO.

01:38:42.000 There's no, there's no UFO here.

01:38:44.000 We, we have to go get it.

01:38:45.000 We, you know the UFO, right?

01:38:46.000 No.

01:38:47.000 We have the UFO of the levitating thing.

01:38:49.000 Oh! 0.60

01:38:49.000 It's not, we're not, we're not there. 0.60

01:38:51.000 We're in the middle of nowhere right now, in an undisclosed location in the mountains.

01:38:54.000 And that's why the internet doesn't work.

01:38:56.000 Oh, we got a question for you, Seamus.

01:38:58.000 Uh-oh.

01:38:59.000 Sporkwitch says, Seamus, why did you self forever sleep yourself?

01:39:04.000 What?

01:39:05.000 Hashtag Epstein didn't kill himself.

01:39:06.000 Oh no!

01:39:08.000 Is that a reference to one of your episodes?

01:39:09.000 Self forever sleep?

01:39:10.000 I think he's saying that I may or may not be slated to have some kind of accident at some point in the future due to my outspoken political beliefs.

01:39:20.000 That's true.

01:39:22.000 Alright, let's see.

01:39:23.000 We'll jump down a little bit.

01:39:25.000 Okay, we have a bunch of funny questions, but sure.

01:39:28.000 Imago Mortis says, you all remember that Intercept article about a Pentagon video detailing the inevitable dystopian future of major cities?

01:39:35.000 Definitely worth a read.

01:39:37.000 Oh wow.

01:39:37.000 Interesting.

01:39:37.000 I'd like to check that out.

01:39:39.000 Charles Adams says, have you seen this?

01:39:41.000 Governor Ron DeSantis announces the Combating Violence Disorder and Looting and Law Enforcement Protection Act.

01:39:47.000 I think I saw this.

01:39:48.000 Wasn't that the thing where he said you block a road and it's like jail time?

01:39:51.000 What?

01:39:52.000 Yeah, I mean, honestly, oh no, that's good.

01:39:53.000 I mean, yes, people should not be standing in the middle of the street, you know?

01:39:56.000 Yeah, but you're right.

01:39:59.000 Especially if they cause an accident and stuff like that.

01:40:01.000 But I think, you know, we have nonviolent civil disobedience where These activists would like sit in the middle of the road.

01:40:08.000 They'd immediately be arrested.

01:40:09.000 It would be cleared out in 20 minutes.

01:40:10.000 They'd cause a minor nuisance, get some press coverage.

01:40:13.000 And that's, I feel like that line is tolerable because we don't want the alternative.

01:40:17.000 If you make peaceful revolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable.

01:40:21.000 So we have to tolerate a certain level of disobedience without putting people in prison.

01:40:25.000 Sure, oh, definitely, but I guess the question is whether or not that's tolerable.

01:40:28.000 You're right, if it's 20 minutes, it might not be as big a deal, but if you're blocking off an entire road and ambulances can't get by, for example.

01:40:34.000 Then the cops come in and arrest you.

01:40:35.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:40:35.000 It's already illegal to do.

01:40:37.000 Yeah, okay, that's good.

01:40:38.000 So typically what happens is you get a supervision charge, you get locked up for a day or two while you wait arraignment, and you blocked a road.

01:40:47.000 It's like, okay, well, we don't like you did it, but we get it, you made your point, congratulations.

01:40:51.000 The alternative would be, you give them prison time, then people are gonna start getting violent, they're gonna go black block Antifa, they're gonna put masks on and run through the streets full speed, they're gonna escalate their tactics.

01:41:01.000 Yeah, I think it just needs to be understood by the people who want to block the street that you are gonna make people and their automobiles feel extremely unsafe and you have to be prepared for one of them to lose their cool.

01:41:11.000 Yeah.

01:41:12.000 Mads says, and this was a while ago, he says, turn up the volume, fam.

01:41:16.000 So, uh, hopefully the volume has been... Oh, no.

01:41:18.000 I think we got that fixed.

01:41:19.000 Yeah, this is an old super chat, but, uh, we are... I'll just put it bluntly.

01:41:24.000 We built a new studio.

01:41:25.000 There's, like, I work all day every day, so it's quite literally sink or swim, you know?

01:41:30.000 Fly or fall.

01:41:31.000 Yeah.

01:41:32.000 We just jumped right out of the nest and saw if we can do it, and we had a bunch of problems yesterday with, like, the audio was not working, and now today we're having all these internet troubles, and it's like, you know what, man?

01:41:41.000 There would be no opportunity for me to set this up.

01:41:44.000 Unless I just came in and did it.

01:41:45.000 I get it.

01:41:46.000 And now we've worked this.

01:41:47.000 We had this really awesome audio guy come in.

01:41:49.000 This guy, Chad.

01:41:50.000 And he set up this mixer and it's all really great and everything sounds a lot better.

01:41:53.000 We do need to turn the volume up a little bit.

01:41:55.000 I hear that.

01:41:56.000 And we can easily just boost that.

01:41:58.000 But now we gotta figure out why the internet's giving us the business.

01:42:00.000 So I need a network engineer.

01:42:02.000 Seriously, someone who can just be like, oh, fix it and click a button and then boom, internet's working.

01:42:07.000 So it could just be simply the Internet's really bad, right?

01:42:10.000 So we get about 20 megabits up and I don't know if that's enough.

01:42:14.000 Are you on Wi-Fi now?

01:42:16.000 Yeah.

01:42:17.000 And so I think the mesh network is just deteriorating.

01:42:20.000 So we'll need to figure something out.

01:42:21.000 But we'll just we'll read more Super Chats, you know, while we're here.

01:42:25.000 Mark G says, this cast isn't what I expected.

01:42:28.000 No monocles and mustaches or two people made of straw. 1.00

01:42:32.000 Oh no.

01:42:33.000 Yes, the straw men as well as the debunkers, they may turn up for a visit at some point.

01:42:37.000 I do think it's funny that we haven't gotten you to do more impersonations.

01:42:40.000 I know.

01:42:41.000 You guys are just abusing me.

01:42:42.000 Give me some. 1.00

01:42:43.000 You wasted.

01:42:44.000 Okay, folks, honestly, if you think I just came here to do impressions instead of discuss aliens and UFOs and being in a simulation and all these other things we're having a conversation about, you're absolutely out of your mind, okay?

01:42:50.000 That stuff's way more interesting than talking about, like, the consumer spending crisis that we've seen in healthcare over the past 40 years, which is a result of Medicare and Medicaid, which is a government policy, so universal healthcare is not the option that we should be going for as a country, okay, gang?

01:43:00.000 And you can just go that fast and say all of that.

01:43:03.000 Yes, gang.

01:43:05.000 I was basically Ben Shapiro at one point in my life.

01:43:08.000 I just aspired to be him and I just got very good at the skill set required to be Ben Shapiro.

01:43:11.000 But unfortunately, he beat me too and got the job first.

01:43:14.000 So why don't you just do that and make legitimate political arguments?

01:43:18.000 As Ben Shapiro?

01:43:20.000 Because it wouldn't be honest to myself.

01:43:22.000 But I think it's funny that like most people, if they do, like the people who are familiar with your kind of know you for a more comedic context and here you are having this like legitimate political discussion.

01:43:31.000 Very calm and reasonable and it's like, you know.

01:43:33.000 I wouldn't call anything I say reasonable, but I appreciate it.

01:43:35.000 Yes.

01:43:37.000 Pat Lynch says, Joe Biden isn't a boomer.

01:43:39.000 He's ironically part of the silent generation.

01:43:43.000 Is he?

01:43:43.000 He's not a boomer.

01:43:44.000 No, he is silent generation. 0.66

01:43:46.000 He is silent generation. 0.99

01:43:46.000 I think that maybe, actually I could be wrong. 0.99

01:43:48.000 He just said that.

01:43:48.000 And so I agreed with it, but.

01:43:50.000 So he was born in like 40, 41?

01:43:51.000 I don't know.

01:43:52.000 Is that, is that, is that?

01:43:54.000 Oh, wait.

01:43:55.000 That's silent generation. 0.96

01:43:56.000 Is it?

01:43:57.000 Really?

01:43:58.000 Oh, that's after the Greatest Generation?

01:44:02.000 It was Greatest, then Silent, then Boomers, or what?

01:44:04.000 I believe so, yeah.

01:44:04.000 The Greatest Generation would be the ones who fought World War II, correct?

01:44:06.000 And then the Boomers were the kids of the Greatest. 0.76

01:44:10.000 And then, who were the kids of Silent?

01:44:13.000 Gen Xers? 0.96

01:44:14.000 Maybe.

01:44:14.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:44:16.000 But Gen Xers seem to be alright. 1.00

01:44:17.000 It's the Millennials.

01:44:19.000 How dare you?

01:44:20.000 I don't know where I am.

01:44:21.000 I don't know if I'm Millennial or Gen Z. What year were you born?

01:44:25.000 95.

01:44:25.000 You're a Millennial.

01:44:26.000 Millennial, okay.

01:44:27.000 Yeah, I think Gen Z is after 2000.

01:44:28.000 Really?

01:44:29.000 Yeah, something like that.

01:44:31.000 Maybe.

01:44:32.000 Let's see.

01:44:32.000 see. Adam Strangelove says, Tim, they might actually do the debate because recently Spotify

01:44:36.000 has come after Joe Rogan and made it so Spotify has the right to edit his streams.

01:44:40.000 Oh.

01:44:41.000 Well, I don't know if that's true, but we were talking a lot about this because a lot of people

01:44:47.000 are worried about what's going to happen with Joe's podcast because some episodes have fallen off.

01:44:52.000 And then someone told me that he said it was because of a corruption in the files or something

01:44:57.000 like that. I don't know if that's true.

01:44:58.000 I don't know.

01:44:59.000 I don't really care that much I don't look the dude can do whatever he wants people are gonna get mad about it I think more people are mad about Joe because they're worried.

01:45:05.000 They're gonna lose a weapon in the culture war Yeah, they're like, but Joe is this guy who's fighting for us if he goes out they're gonna you know And so they don't actually care about what he wants to do and what his show is all about and it's like I'm gonna do my thing, you know, I'm on my business and People are correcting me a lot on the Brenna Taylor thing.

01:45:21.000 That they did actually knock before entering.

01:45:24.000 And the guy fired through the door.

01:45:25.000 Oh, I had no idea.

01:45:27.000 That changes everything.

01:45:28.000 And this is why I said earlier, no matter what the circumstances were, they would have treated it the exact same way and that's why I'm so skeptical of every single story I hear about this.

01:45:35.000 But also, one thing on Joe Rogan.

01:45:38.000 I was discussing this with you guys before we started the show.

01:45:41.000 When I first began college in 2013, I had the Joe Rogan experience recommended to me by a professor who was a liberal professor at the time.

01:45:49.000 And it's just funny because probably only three or four years after that, Joe Rogan started to be accused of being this alt-right, sympathetic, adjacent fascist sympathizer because he has conversations with people who they don't like.

01:46:02.000 It was just funny to me how much, how the culture changed so quickly.

01:46:05.000 To the point where, like, at the beginning of my college experience, liberal professors were recommending him.

01:46:09.000 By the very end, they were condemning him.

01:46:11.000 I think he was super liberal in the early days and then got a little more moderate.

01:46:15.000 I don't know if, yeah, I guess I couldn't speak to that because I didn't consume too much of his content early on, but I think the left, it could just be that the left has gone further to the left and so he appears more moderate.

01:46:25.000 I mean, yeah, they definitely have.

01:46:27.000 The question is, is that why he appears more moderate?

01:46:29.000 Maybe he's become more moderate because there's this sort of vicious cycle where the more crazy the left gets, the more likely standard left-wingers from about ten years ago are to actually move to the right.

01:46:39.000 So I have a fact check here from Mumbling Bearded Freak, that's his name. 0.93

01:46:43.000 Tim, I don't think I've seen you get the facts of a story more wrong than the Breonna Taylor case.

01:46:48.000 Brandon Tatum has released court documents from the case that you need to read.

01:46:52.000 They knocked, she was named on the warrant, she was dealing.

01:46:55.000 So I'll look into it for sure.

01:46:57.000 But I'm more than happy to read the Super Chats if that's what they're saying.

01:47:00.000 I just tell everybody else, regardless of what I say or what anyone says, you should do the fact checks yourself to make sure.

01:47:05.000 Because I definitely think I'm missing a lot of details.

01:47:07.000 That really changes it.

01:47:08.000 If she was accused of drug dealing and then they knocked and the guy shot the cops through the door, I mean...

01:47:14.000 Yeah, I mean, clearly it's still a tragic story when anyone dies, but that's very different from the police just bursting into the house and causing chaos.

01:47:21.000 Right.

01:47:22.000 So Cliff says, Ethernet error from cable may be cable type.

01:47:26.000 Use coax for distance greater than 100 feet.

01:47:29.000 If coax already, error due to foam layer still on the central copper core.

01:47:35.000 We could have the wrong Ethernet cable, I suppose.

01:47:38.000 Perhaps.

01:47:38.000 Save that super chat.

01:47:40.000 Yeah.

01:47:41.000 Well, that could be the error, I suppose.

01:47:43.000 I guess we'll have to figure out what the, uh, what the issue is.

01:47:46.000 And, um, we'll get it taken care of tomorrow.

01:47:48.000 We have all day to do it and we will.

01:47:50.000 And, oh man, I don't want to announce the guests anymore because we've had some cancellations, but tomorrow's guest is so awesome.

01:47:56.000 It's going to be so cool.

01:47:57.000 Way better than me.

01:47:58.000 Guns.

01:47:58.000 It just blows me out of the water.

01:47:59.000 Guns, guns, guns.

01:48:00.000 Oh, I actually know who this is.

01:48:01.000 Yes, he is better than me.

01:48:02.000 You should watch.

01:48:03.000 I didn't say better than you.

01:48:04.000 No, no, I'm kidding.

01:48:05.000 I was just saying that.

01:48:05.000 I'm just self-deprecating.

01:48:07.000 Sam G. says, Freedom Tunes rules.

01:48:09.000 Thank you, Sam G. Just what you needed.

01:48:11.000 That's what I needed.

01:48:11.000 After being trashed, after Tim looked me in the eye and said he hated me.

01:48:16.000 So he says, Ma'am, are you using your illegal run powers to take this woman's birth control pills from her ovaries? 0.60

01:48:21.000 That's right, your illegal nun powers, which is exactly what the Catholic Church is trying to do. 0.99

01:48:26.000 And if Trump appoints this horrible theocrat to the Supreme Court, they're going to steal birth control forever. 0.87

01:48:30.000 It's going to be like the Grinch coming down your chimney and going to your bathroom and just taking birth control out and then sneaking out of your house.

01:48:36.000 And pharmacies.

01:48:37.000 Yeah.

01:48:37.000 All right, we got a question for you, Seamus.

01:48:39.000 Sure. 1.00

01:48:39.000 Let's say you cut off all of your limbs and are reduced to a talking head in a jar. 1.00

01:48:44.000 Is the pile of your limbs, which made up 90% of your body, you? 0.73

01:48:48.000 Or is your head you?

01:48:50.000 So I'm just a head in a jar?

01:48:51.000 I guess that's all that I am.

01:48:53.000 I mean, at that point, that has been discarded, but I would still say that I have like ownership over those limbs.

01:49:00.000 That's so hypothetical at that point.

01:49:02.000 I think What he's getting at could also be asked, like, if an arm is cut off.

01:49:06.000 Is the arm that was cut off you?

01:49:09.000 I believe, yes, not in the same way.

01:49:11.000 It's not attached to you anymore, but, like, that is still objectively your arm.

01:49:14.000 It's been separated from your body, but I think it's still part of you, right?

01:49:17.000 Because when you're getting hit in the arm, you don't say, like, oh, you're hitting my arm.

01:49:20.000 You'd be like, oh, you're hitting me.

01:49:21.000 Like, that's an aggression upon you as a whole.

01:49:24.000 So then, like, throughout the day when your skin is, like, dry and flaking off, you're, like, basically spreading your body all over things?

01:49:30.000 It's you.

01:49:30.000 You're all over the place.

01:49:31.000 Well, no, yeah.

01:49:32.000 Obviously, you get to a point where there's some part of you so small that we probably wouldn't consider it you, but it is a small part of you.

01:49:39.000 It's a question of, like, what do you identify with?

01:49:41.000 And you were talking about teleporters earlier, like, potentially getting there, and that almost kind of gets into, like, the... What's it called?

01:49:49.000 Thought experiment of like the teleporter.

01:49:50.000 If you're deconstructed in one place and built again, another place, uh, is that still you or is that just a copy of you?

01:49:57.000 So I don't like, yeah, it gets really complicated, especially when you get hypothetical, like a head in a jar or a teleporter experiment, uh, experiment like that.

01:50:03.000 But I just generally consider you and your body and your soul.

01:50:06.000 Are you, I think that the, your brain's like a radio and that certain frequency can activate it.

01:50:11.000 So like, if you reconstruct the exact same brain elsewhere, the same frequency can still hit it.

01:50:16.000 Regardless of where the frequency's coming from.

01:50:17.000 Isn't it canon in Star Trek that when you teleport, you die and then a copy of you is made?

01:50:21.000 I don't know if that's canon, but it's definitely terrifying.

01:50:25.000 There's an episode where Commander Riker was trying to beam off a planet that had some kind of atmospheric interference, and it caused his signal to split into two.

01:50:33.000 One bounced back and one went to the ship.

01:50:35.000 So the ship leaves thinking they got him, but left a copy of him on the ground.

01:50:39.000 Oh, what?

01:50:40.000 Yeah, and so this was a whole arc where they had Commander Riker and Lieutenant Riker, and he, like, went by his middle name or whatever.

01:50:46.000 Wow.

01:50:48.000 So they made it canon, then, at that point, that it's not you.

01:50:51.000 You're just dying and they're reconstructing you.

01:50:53.000 That's crazy.

01:50:54.000 That's terrifying.

01:50:54.000 Because, like, if you teleported, I wouldn't know the difference.

01:50:56.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.95

01:50:57.000 But you're dead.

01:50:58.000 That's creepy stuff.

01:50:59.000 But then also, too, this is from a completely materialistic perspective.

01:51:02.000 Like, if you have a soul, does the soul move to the other body?

01:51:05.000 Or is this just not something that could occur at all?

01:51:08.000 Would the replicated version just not be animated because there was no soul there in the

01:51:13.000 original you was already dead

01:51:15.000 or can you never teleported anybody so we have no clue is there like a soulless 0.98

01:51:19.000 version of you now no I think you just die I think a soul needs to animate you 0.65

01:51:23.000 yeah that's true so you think like like this 0.99

01:51:25.000 second copy would just be dead just dropped dead yeah yeah that'd be crazy

01:51:29.000 I think the soul's coming from the galactic core, and it's beaming to us, and giving us information, causing your brain to function in certain ways.

01:51:37.000 You know, normally, I think hearing something like that, where it just sounds like, I don't know where you're getting that from, it sounds nuts.

01:51:44.000 But I mean, people have religious beliefs.

01:51:47.000 That's my religion.

01:51:48.000 Right, right, right.

01:51:49.000 If you are like, I feel and I believe something and it's true, I'll be like, well, I certainly don't.

01:51:53.000 But if it's coming from the galactic core, it's coming from a universal core that's hitting the galactic core and then refracting to the sun, which is then refracting to the earth, then refracting to you or something like that.

01:52:04.000 I think it's a simulation.

01:52:05.000 You know, I saw this really funny post where they said simulism, which is the belief that you're in a simulation, is just God for nerds.

01:52:12.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:52:13.000 It's like people are so averse to a belief in God, but then if you say we're in a simulation, it's like, whoa man, that's so deep and cool.

01:52:20.000 So quite literally you're saying someone programmed and designed everything and created as it is, and it took them a certain amount of time and were in their system by their design.

01:52:27.000 And they work in mystique.

01:52:29.000 You don't know what their end goals are, but you're, you know, it's, dude, it's just a more complicated version of the same thing.

01:52:36.000 So what if that is really crazy?

01:52:38.000 Like we, like the simulation, simulism almost creates a, like it almost just leads back into religion.

01:52:45.000 Mm-hmm, particularly like Abrahamic religion.

01:52:47.000 This is a different religion. 0.98

01:52:48.000 Yeah, but it's but I mean, it's it's it's it's not the same as Buddhism Like simulism has the idea that there was someone who created.

01:52:55.000 Oh, yeah, there's a creator Yeah, yeah creator and and it's design, you know, I mean, well, you could say then I mean, it probably wouldn't be a coincidence that it developed in the West It's sort of like a perversion or distortion, right?

01:53:06.000 But yeah, yeah, but but you could also say too I mean I don't think the idea of a creator was unique just to the West, too.

01:53:16.000 I think, like, obviously Buddhists don't necessarily believe in a creator, but other religions did.

01:53:20.000 Yeah.

01:53:21.000 Let's read this here.

01:53:22.000 Superchat from Court J. What do you think about outfitting the cops with a tech to just record the traffic violations while patrolling and then sending citations to the owner of the vehicle, reducing interactions?

01:53:33.000 I personally disagree.

01:53:34.000 Yeah, I think too many people would fight that.

01:53:35.000 They would try to fight that.

01:53:36.000 It's like, oh, there's some angle you didn't capture.

01:53:38.000 I wasn't actually guilty of this.

01:53:39.000 I don't know.

01:53:40.000 Not even that.

01:53:41.000 You need to stop people who are causing, like if someone's drunk driving.

01:53:43.000 Also true.

01:53:44.000 I mean, I guess it's a felony, so it's not the same as a citation.

01:53:47.000 But if someone's speeding and you're like, nah, you're going to take it in the mail, well, they're going to keep speeding.

01:53:51.000 They could hit somebody, you know?

01:53:52.000 So we definitely got to have cops stop people committing crimes.

01:53:56.000 Yeah, we could at some point, yeah.

01:53:57.000 freedom tunes with Tim Pool guest stars yeah wonderful yeah we could at some

01:54:01.000 point yeah all right let's see we got here big Mac attack says we're gonna

01:54:06.000 turn into into the super vampires from Jojo's bizarre adventure if we don't

01:54:10.000 kill ourselves in our great and in our greed to get there I don't know what

01:54:13.000 that is I never watched Jojo I remember the last time, I was watching a stream last time I was at your place.

01:54:19.000 You guys got into Naruto.

01:54:20.000 Yeah, and everyone's telling you all the things Naruto taught them.

01:54:23.000 And I was really tempted to like super chat in that Naruto taught me to run.

01:54:26.000 But I was like, no, I don't want to go there.

01:54:27.000 It's a tough subject for a lot of kids in gym class who ran like that.

01:54:31.000 And we all knew some of them.

01:54:32.000 Did you?

01:54:32.000 Wait, what?

01:54:33.000 Really?

01:54:33.000 Oh yeah, I feel like almost everyone I know has had the experience of seeing at least one kid in gym class do the Naruto run.

01:54:39.000 But maybe that's just- It's so inefficient.

01:54:41.000 Yeah, I know.

01:54:42.000 But I guess like the idea is like they're running, so for those not familiar, their arms are like just flopping behind them as they run.

01:54:47.000 As if to simulate just like, they're running so fast their arms are just flailing behind them. 0.55

01:54:52.000 It's ridiculous. 1.00

01:54:54.000 Dude, I think the show's great, but that really is dumb. 1.00

01:54:56.000 They run like that, I don't know. 0.99

01:54:58.000 Do they all run like that or just him?

01:54:59.000 They all run like that.

01:55:00.000 Wow.

01:55:01.000 Yep, they all do.

01:55:02.000 And they just like jump through the trees, and they like just jump from tree to tree, jumping like 100 feet at a time, and you know, it's not a time ninja's role, man.

01:55:08.000 How beautiful.

01:55:09.000 Also, they can create fire and other magic from their hands by making hand signs, and it's a show about- Maybe that's why they run like that.

01:55:14.000 They don't want to accidentally discharge their hand magic in front of them as they're running.

01:55:18.000 You never know, it could be safer.

01:55:19.000 You know what's really funny about the show, now that we're gonna get into like anime fandom- Oh no.

01:55:24.000 When you start- What have I done?

01:55:25.000 When you start- Well, this is actually funny.

01:55:27.000 It's interesting.

01:55:28.000 When you start watching a show like Naruto, in the early series, it's about, like, ninjas.

01:55:34.000 And the ninjas have, like, ninja abilities.

01:55:36.000 Like, they can- Like, someone will throw, like, a ninja star, and they'll hit him, but then, poof!

01:55:40.000 It turns out it was a log the whole time, and like, whoa!

01:55:42.000 It was actually a log!

01:55:43.000 You tricked me!

01:55:43.000 And the guy's behind him with a knife.

01:55:45.000 And then later on the show gets crazier and crazier and it turns out the show is actually about an alien invasion.

01:55:49.000 I'm not even exaggerating.

01:55:51.000 Like, you watch this whole show and you think it's about ninja warring countries and then at the end it turns out it's an alien invasion and they're all wielding alien space magic.

01:55:58.000 No joke!

01:55:59.000 100% true.

01:56:00.000 Is that like a jump the shark thing or a thing they planned?

01:56:03.000 I think it was a jump the shark thing.

01:56:04.000 Yeah.

01:56:04.000 Cause like the original concept of the show is that people had like the inner energy and they could convert the energy into like elements.

01:56:09.000 And at the end it was like aliens came, you know, like they're being defied.

01:56:12.000 Your powers originated with the aliens who brought them and travel between dimensions.

01:56:16.000 And this is like, I don't even know what I'm watching anymore. 0.95

01:56:18.000 Like I liked it when the dude was hiding in the tree and like, was like, I will kill you with my knife.

01:56:22.000 And now it's like the space lady is like transporting to alternate realities.

01:56:27.000 And like this dude can like teleport.

01:56:29.000 I don't know what you're doing, man.

01:56:30.000 Whoa, sounds like psychedelics.

01:56:32.000 Sounds like, I mean, you might enjoy the show, you know.

01:56:35.000 Alright, let's see.

01:56:36.000 Eric A. says, oh, I can't see what that says.

01:56:41.000 Just tried someone's super chat suggestion to ask Siri where the blank are.

01:56:46.000 You need to try it.

01:56:47.000 Is that terrorists?

01:56:49.000 I don't know.

01:56:50.000 I don't know what it says.

01:56:51.000 Certain words, you can't read them.

01:56:53.000 Dan Fitzpatrick says they found a dead body in Brenna Taylor's rental car.

01:56:57.000 What?

01:56:58.000 It was a knock warrant.

01:56:59.000 BF admits.

01:57:00.000 And the sergeant was shot.

01:57:02.000 How is it...

01:57:03.000 He got... she got shot and the BF didn't.

01:57:04.000 Whoa, this is not what people were saying.

01:57:06.000 That's crazy.

01:57:07.000 Yeah, we all just need to look more deeply into this.

01:57:10.000 Wow.

01:57:11.000 Oh, this one's good.

01:57:12.000 Jordan Truso says, have you read Harrison Bergeron?

01:57:15.000 The short story.

01:57:15.000 Oh yeah.

01:57:16.000 Have you read it?

01:57:16.000 No.

01:57:17.000 It's basically a very short story about how people who are smart have to wear things in their ears that like make random noises to disrupt their thinking so that everyone's equal.

01:57:27.000 Oh my God.

01:57:27.000 People who are tall have to like, you know.

01:57:29.000 Oh, I think I did read this actually in school.

01:57:31.000 People who are strong have to wear weights so they're as weak as everyone else.

01:57:34.000 And this is like people in the neural net, and the one guy rips the neural net out, and he's like, no longer, and they're like, he's off the net, he's off the net!

01:57:41.000 And you're like, there's this moment of love.

01:57:43.000 What a selfish guy.

01:57:44.000 It ends with this, like, 7-foot-tall, super-ripped, chiseled dude, like, ripping off his chains, and then he, like, grabs this woman and rips her mask off, and she turns out to be beautiful, and everyone's like, oh no, what's happening?

01:57:54.000 I actually do remember reading that, yeah.

01:57:57.000 Here we go.

01:57:58.000 Blue Satoshi says the Star Trek transporters are supposed to beam your matter from point to point, not copy you with local matter.

01:58:04.000 It's supposed to reconstruct you with the exact same matter you started off with.

01:58:08.000 Interesting.

01:58:10.000 There's like weird stuff about the Star Trek canon anyway, so I don't know.

01:58:12.000 Yeah, it doesn't really fit, exactly.

01:58:14.000 Grant Pickens says, Rick and Morty is awesome.

01:58:16.000 Thank you.

01:58:16.000 I think Rick and Morty is awesome, because I have nothing to do with the show, so I appreciate the super chat.

01:58:22.000 Let's see.

01:58:22.000 Hey, off topic, did you see Seth MacFarlane might be doing the new Cosmos?

01:58:25.000 He did.

01:58:26.000 Oh, really?

01:58:26.000 He rebooted it a while ago, and they're relaunching it again.

01:58:29.000 That's exciting.

01:58:30.000 I want him to get the rights to Star Trek.

01:58:32.000 Yeah, he wants it too.

01:58:34.000 Bourbon Bear said, Bourbon Bear, I live in a not-too-great part of Louisville, but far away from downtown, and they boarded up the local police station.

01:58:41.000 My city is tense.

01:58:42.000 We're primed for violence, and I am afraid.

01:58:46.000 Yeah.

01:58:46.000 Yeah, it's gonna be crazy.

01:58:47.000 Alright, let's see.

01:58:48.000 CD Saint says, you laid 300 feet of cable.

01:58:51.000 If that was continuous, it may be your problem.

01:58:53.000 Limit of Cat5 is about 300 feet.

01:58:56.000 Yeah, I was looking into it.

01:58:57.000 We tried our best.

01:58:58.000 But the problem is, I was using a powerline adapter, for those that are familiar, and it said I was getting really good signal, but it wasn't working.

01:59:05.000 That's why I thought it was the computer.

01:59:07.000 Maybe we need just to try again.

01:59:09.000 I don't know.

01:59:10.000 Yeah.

01:59:10.000 We'll try again tomorrow, and we'll troubleshoot.

01:59:14.000 The bigger challenge is there's only so many hours in the day, and I work most of them.

01:59:17.000 So, you know, we're working through it.

01:59:19.000 Gokama Bhandari gave a super chat and then retracted it, but hey, thanks for the money.

01:59:24.000 Let's see, uh, what is this?

01:59:26.000 Uh, let's jump down. 0.82

01:59:27.000 We got a super chat here.

01:59:28.000 Nope, that's the same one I read.

01:59:30.000 Uh, what is it?

01:59:31.000 The T-word answer is subversive?

01:59:34.000 Seriously, try the Siri thing.

01:59:36.000 Yes on the T-word, her answer is so subversive.

01:59:40.000 We don't have it.

01:59:40.000 Yeah, you're right.

01:59:41.000 None of us do, I don't think.

01:59:42.000 Do you have an iPhone?

01:59:43.000 Um, I do.

01:59:44.000 Oh, okay.

01:59:44.000 Well, I guess we'll try it later.

01:59:45.000 Should I ask, is this going to be put on some kind of list?

01:59:47.000 Nah, maybe.

01:59:48.000 Alright, let's see.

01:59:51.000 Josh Frohman says, go ahead and defund the police, but repeal the NFA and Brady Bill so people can defend themselves with whatever they want.

01:59:59.000 Thoughts?

02:00:00.000 I think mandatory guns for all. 0.66

02:00:02.000 The cops show up and say, how many people live here?

02:00:05.000 And you say, uh, three.

02:00:06.000 Here's a Glock 9 for you.

02:00:08.000 Oh my goodness.

02:00:08.000 I think we should demilitarize the police.

02:00:11.000 Maybe, but not defund them.

02:00:12.000 Maybe reuse those funds to add social workers to the crew.

02:00:15.000 I'll tell you what, with a militarized police force and a population armed to the teeth, no one's invading this country ever.

02:00:21.000 Yeah, exactly.

02:00:22.000 Never gonna happen.

02:00:22.000 It'd be from orbit.

02:00:23.000 We've talked about that before.

02:00:25.000 Yeah, what I mean is there's not gonna be a land invasion no matter what.

02:00:28.000 You can't, you can't even drop people in.

02:00:30.000 No, no, no.

02:00:30.000 There's like everybody's nuts.

02:00:33.000 Like in terms of, I don't mean nuts isn't crazy.

02:00:35.000 I mean like ready to defend themselves, like armed to the teeth, you know?

02:00:39.000 All right, let's see.

02:00:41.000 Isaac says, watch Brave New World, a show about the flaws of a perfect 100% ideal communist society where no one owns anything.

02:00:50.000 Tony Young says, Seamus and Tim is the crossover of the year.

02:00:53.000 Oh, yeah.

02:00:53.000 That's right.

02:00:55.000 Seth says, Buddhists believe in gods.

02:00:57.000 We just don't worship them.

02:00:58.000 Maybe one of them created the world.

02:01:00.000 Buddhists just don't care. 1.00

02:01:01.000 Knowing who created our world doesn't help us end suffering now.

02:01:06.000 Interesting.

02:01:06.000 Very interesting.

02:01:07.000 Yeah, I would disagree, but different schools of, yeah.

02:01:09.000 Sejong the Great says teleporters copy your matter, then send it.

02:01:12.000 If the matter isn't confirmed sent, it's returned to the teleporter.

02:01:16.000 That's what happened.

02:01:17.000 Talking about Star Trek again.

02:01:19.000 Grant Pickens says, as an electrician, you may try a signal booster near the source.

02:01:23.000 Guns are good. 0.98

02:01:25.000 Guns are good. 0.98

02:01:25.000 Agreed, yes. 0.98

02:01:25.000 Thank you for that addition. 0.98

02:01:28.000 So, I think most people know your channel, but do you want to mention your channel and your social media and stuff?

02:01:32.000 Yeah, I would love to just plug Freedom Tunes for you guys.

02:01:36.000 Go check it out.

02:01:36.000 YouTube.com slash Freedom Tunes.

02:01:39.000 And I'm also on Twitter.

02:01:39.000 That should be at Seamus Coghlan.

02:01:41.000 You gotta spell it.

02:01:43.000 Yeah, I know.

02:01:43.000 S-E-A-M-U-S underscore Coghlan.

02:01:46.000 C-O-U-G-H-L-I-N. 1.00

02:01:48.000 Just follow me there.

02:01:49.000 Mostly just subscribe to the YouTube channel.

02:01:51.000 You gotta say Seamus underscore Coughlin.

02:01:53.000 I know, Seamus underscore Coughlin, I know.

02:01:55.000 Maybe I should just spell it phonetically in the tag so that people will actually be able to find me.

02:01:59.000 But yeah, we usually upload a new video every single week on Thursdays.

02:02:03.000 This week that got a little messed up because I was traveling, but yeah, check the channel out.

02:02:06.000 We throw up these fun little cartoons that people seem to be enjoying and maybe you could enjoy them too.

02:02:10.000 And you put out a parody song today of Trump and Biden singing to each other.

02:02:13.000 That's right, that's right.

02:02:15.000 And, uh, of course you can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, Parler, at TimCast.

02:02:18.000 And you can check out my other channels, uh, youtube.com slash TimCast, youtube.com slash TimCastNews.

02:02:23.000 This is TimCastIRL.

02:02:24.000 We will fix the internet by tomorrow, I promise!

02:02:26.000 We'll figure it out.

02:02:27.000 And, uh, you know, my one piece of advice to everybody, uh, first, I'll just apologize for all the hiccups you've been having on the show, because I know, you know, if you come here to watch a show and then it breaks, it's like, what are we doing?

02:02:39.000 But, uh, you just gotta start.

02:02:40.000 You just gotta start.

02:02:41.000 If we sat back and didn't know what to do, we'd have no show for, like, a week or two.

02:02:44.000 It's only because people have been giving us advice, people have been telling us what's not working, that it's working, so I really do appreciate the fact that, uh, all of you stick around and watch, because it's basically part of the process, and without you, we wouldn't even know what the issues were.

02:02:55.000 But, uh, also, Ian, you wanna mention your social?

02:02:57.000 Yeah.

02:02:57.000 You can follow me at Ian Crossland, um, pretty much everywhere.

02:03:00.000 And everywhere there's social media.

02:03:02.000 Instagram, Twitter, Mines, and...

02:03:04.000 Twitch! 0.88

02:03:04.000 Because I just started streaming games, although I haven't in the last few days. 0.88

02:03:07.000 No, good for you.

02:03:07.000 Yeah, it's pretty fun streaming with Adam Crigler.

02:03:09.000 And you may have noticed briefly in the show, Lydia was using a shotgun mic to speak because we had another mic here. 0.95

02:03:17.000 So we're getting it.

02:03:18.000 We're getting it.

02:03:19.000 But you can follow Lydia at Sour Patch Lids.

02:03:22.000 Sour Patch L-Y-D-S on Twitter and Parler.

02:03:25.000 I am here.

02:03:26.000 I really am.

02:03:27.000 I have been here the whole time.

02:03:28.000 I'm switching the camera very erroneously since I have three people to switch for now.

02:03:32.000 It's a lot of fun though.

02:03:33.000 I've been quieter than usual and that's why, because I'm busy.

02:03:36.000 Sorry guys.

02:03:37.000 She was off screen making really angry faces every time I spoke. 1.00

02:03:40.000 I was, it's true.

02:03:41.000 My mind was melting.

02:03:42.000 You can't see, but when the camera switches to Ian, I actually have to get up to hold her back from swinging at Seamus and I'm just like, no!

02:03:50.000 It's why they didn't let me on the podcast last time.

02:03:52.000 Yeah.

02:03:52.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:03:53.000 Because, you know, you started throwing bottles at people.

02:03:56.000 I get angry.

02:03:57.000 I get angry. 1.00

02:03:57.000 Well, you know, you thought we wouldn't know it was you when you put the mask on and started screaming, the whole damn system is guilty as hell and marching through the neighborhood. 1.00

02:04:03.000 But we could tell. 0.99

02:04:04.000 I just, I don't, I don't accept that there's any evidence that that was me.

02:04:10.000 And this is a baseless accusation.

02:04:13.000 Well then, we'll have to have you come back, I suppose.

02:04:16.000 I would love to.

02:04:17.000 With a functioning internet.

02:04:18.000 Yeah, that'd be great.

02:04:19.000 Yeah.

02:04:20.000 So, hey everybody, really, thanks for hanging out.

02:04:21.000 We're going to be back tomorrow at 8pm and we're going to be talking about guns, guns, guns with somebody who's all about guns, guns, guns.

02:04:26.000 I'm hoping.

02:04:27.000 But, you know, sometimes these things happen.

02:04:29.000 And I'll tell you what's going to happen tomorrow.

02:04:30.000 Something else is going to happen.

02:04:31.000 The lights are going to shut off.

02:04:33.000 Because the internet was working okay yesterday and now it's bad today.

02:04:36.000 We'll do it by candlelight.

02:04:38.000 Yes, the show must go on.

02:04:39.000 We'll get it done.

02:04:40.000 But we're gonna head out for now.

02:04:42.000 I will be back, of course, with all my normal segments in the morning starting at 10 a.m.

02:04:45.000 You can check it out YouTube.com slash TimCastNews.

02:04:47.000 And then at 4 p.m.

02:04:48.000 YouTube.com slash TimCast.

02:04:49.000 I have way too many channels.

02:04:50.000 And again, Seamus, thanks for hanging out.

02:04:53.000 Yeah, thank you.

02:04:53.000 God bless you.

02:04:54.000 Appreciate you.

02:04:54.000 Ian and Lydia, it's been fun.

02:04:55.000 And we'll be back tomorrow night with better internet.
