In this episode, we have a special guest, Olivia Rondo, a writer, commentator, and wrestler. She joins us to talk about the Democratic failure to vote in Texas, a new report from the U.S. Navy, and much, much more.
00:00:00.000The honorable Texas Republicans, ever the bastions of civil rights and the defense of
00:00:25.000the marginalized, have been trying to pass a voter bill which would guarantee and protect
00:00:31.000the rights of all the marginalized people of Texas.
00:00:34.000But the evil Democrats, who seek only to strip the rights away from the poor and the working class, have fled knowing that they can do nothing to stop civil rights from reaching the marginalized people.
00:00:46.000So they, okay, I'm done with that bit, but you get the point.
00:00:49.000The media frames everything in a specific way.
00:00:51.000What's really happening is the Republicans have a couple bills they want to pass that are gonna, you know, pull back some of the lax voting provisions that were pushed through with COVID.
00:01:13.000This is a fascinating story because when the Republicans in Oregon fled for something about climate change, they said, you know, we're going to block Coram.
00:02:00.000A new report says the Navy went so woke, they stopped prioritizing actual war-fighting training, and now they're not ready for war, as Japan is warning.
00:02:08.000The escalation between China and the U.S.
00:02:51.000I do my own YouTube show, which is small, but I write for mainly fee.
00:02:55.000I've been a contributor to the Daily Caller, Campus Reform, Lone Conservative, Porter Media and the Rogue Review, a couple others.
00:03:03.000Uh, and I'm also a collegiate wrestler, which may provide some insight on some current events today, especially having to do with the Olympics.
00:03:16.000There are new rules, and it's the issue of, you know, gender and wrestling.
00:03:21.000And the interesting thing is there are some instances where people who are born female and transition still, in some circumstance, choose to compete against females.
00:03:30.000Yet when males transition, they choose to compete against females.
00:06:06.000You know, Ian's always ragging on sugar and he's always outraged by the sugar industry.
00:06:11.000He's laughing over there because he is.
00:06:12.000And this is this is basically like it's good fat it's it's it's good fat it's uh uh well it's mct oil powder i'll just call it what it is and you put it in your drinks you put it in your food it tastes not like a whole lot i mean it just kind of blends in it's creamy and delicious ian's always putting in his coffee i always like to put it in my smoothies because it kind of makes them Almost like a milkshake.

00:07:37.000I gotta say, every time I read that, I'm like surprised because that's like the craziest deal I've ever heard.
00:09:28.000Apparently, Texas has already passed the bill anyway, the voter bills.
00:09:33.000The media is trying to make it seem like Republicans are trying to strip away the rights of regular people.
00:09:38.000The Republicans have no real counter to this, because the mainstream media lies all the time, and conservative media doesn't.
00:09:45.000Oh, I can already hear the collective screams of all the leftists who are hate-watching this show, claiming that all conservative media does is lie.
00:09:52.000Yeah, then why isn't Tucker Carlson coming out saying Republicans are trying to pass voter protection bills to protect the rights of marginalized people?
00:10:00.000But the left thinks that they should take those rights away.
00:10:40.000And you get Kamala Harris and you get the national level Democrats and all of their cronies in media who love licking their feet saying, like, these are heroes helping protect the rights of people.
00:10:49.000Let me explain something very, very simple to everybody.
00:10:52.000What the Republicans are doing actually is to protect the rights of people who want to vote.
00:10:57.000What the Democrats are doing are purposefully damaging voter integrity, which confuses and mucks up the system and makes it very difficult for people's votes to be counted properly, for the system to work properly.
00:11:08.000There's no chain of custody on some of these votes.
00:11:10.000They have curbside voting, universal mail-in voting, 24-hour voting.
00:12:26.000Yeah, so it's funny when people talk about what the Democrats are doing, and I'm like, you know, the Democrats and the Republicans are doing all of that forever.
00:12:34.000The only thing that changed was that Donald Trump ran full speed and slammed his body into the front doors and broke them down.
00:12:40.000And then with Trump throwing himself in the doors and getting in, people believe the Republican
00:12:44.000Party somehow like was better. They're not. I just saw an article that said that the DNC
00:12:51.000is proposing that they're going to go through people's text messages to look for that information.
00:13:58.000State troopers from the Texas Department of Safety may now be appointed to go look for the missing legislators at their respective businesses and homes, but they'll be unlikely to find any of them since they left the state the day before.
00:14:10.000Texas law enforcement is unlikely to track the lawmakers to D.C.
00:14:12.000since they lack jurisdiction in the nation's capital.
00:14:15.000During an interview on Fox News Monday night, Governor Greg Abbott said, This is fascinating.
00:14:19.000the state return to Texas, they will be arrested and brought back to the Capitol.
00:14:38.000You can be a fugitive and flee your actual duty in Texas.
00:14:44.000And, I mean, this is worse than a filibuster.
00:14:47.000It's like, yeah, it's a hardcore filibuster for sure.
00:14:51.000So the way the filibuster basically works in the Senate If someone says, hey, I filibuster, then they need 60 votes to overcome the filibuster.
00:15:00.000I guess they did that because they didn't like the idea of someone standing up and talking for 30 hours, which just shut downs the vote, like it ends the session.
00:15:08.000And so I guess the Democrats tried things like that.
00:15:11.000You know, they've delayed the vote, they've skipped out on the vote, and they keep doing this because they've lost Texas.
00:16:10.000If these people, these, these democratic politicians that fled, if they're doing like what their conscious dictates, then I guess they're doing the right thing for them.
00:16:18.000But should then they be removed from office because they can't functionally participate ethically?
00:16:24.000I don't think they actually think they're doing the right thing.
00:17:02.000So the way it works is there's the normal process by which there's a session of the House, like most states and jurisdictions have this.
00:17:10.000And if the governor chooses, he can convene a special session and call back the state Senate and the state representatives to come in and do their votes and everything.
00:17:37.000I was saying earlier, they should vote on this bill right now.
00:17:41.000They should put it, someone should draft it up.
00:17:43.000If you are absent, you know, for at least three sessions in a row, you forfeit your position as a representative from your district, and you are removed or something like that.
00:18:23.000You get arrested, you get fined, you get all that stuff.
00:18:25.000Where in the private sector would you be able to say, I'm just not coming into work, and not only that, I'm not coming until you give me what you want, what I want.
00:18:32.000It sounds like a union- And you have to still pay me.
00:19:14.000I don't think it was as overt, like she walked in and said, I will say this about you.
00:19:18.000But apparently upper management was scared that they knew this woman would do it, and it was implied.
00:19:24.000So they were just like, here's your salary, you can have whatever you want, do whatever you want, have a nice day, and she's got paid to do nothing.
00:19:30.000And I remember talking to one staff and they were like, this person literally doesn't work here, but it's here.
00:19:34.000It just eats food and then gets paid and then leaves.
00:19:37.000And then I was like, so why, why are they paying this person?
00:19:39.000And they were like, because she threatens them.
00:20:02.000In parentheses it would say, if you actually harassed me, but you didn't.
00:20:04.000The line is very thin and it really just depends on whether or not the feds want to go after you, or the authorities, whatever in the state.
00:20:10.000But if you threaten somebody with accusing them of a crime, it could be extortion or blackmail.
00:20:15.000But depending on how you frame it, Then they can't accuse the person of, you know... So the issue is if you're an employee, then in this instance, you don't actually demand anything.
00:20:26.000You just say, I've had it up to here with this harassment.
00:20:28.000And you look around, they say, I'm not going to that person.
00:20:31.000So you get a person who just... Anyway, the Democrats... This is my problem with the Democrats is the DNC is obviously corrupt.
00:20:39.000Since I've seen what they did to Bernie Sanders in 2016 and probably so many other things.
00:21:23.000Some people are drafted into that lifestyle kind of against their will, and they don't want to do the damage, and they're kind of forced to eventually get out of it.
00:21:33.000That's a good point, but I was being facetious a little bit.
00:21:37.000The Democratic Party is not a cult of... Well, actually... Okay, well, the Democratic Party is bad, but you can always walk away.
00:21:47.000As far as I know, Democrats aren't going to hunt you down for being an apostate to the Democratic Party.
00:21:52.000But I think the Democratic Party... It's really fascinating to see this meme where people say that the left and the right both view each other as the problem.
00:22:01.000I saw someone said, the left thinks the right is abusing its power and will stop at nothing and the right thinks the left is doing it and people need to realize... Hold on a minute.
00:22:09.000The people who say that are the people who are like sitting back with their feet up watching Police Academy on rerun like like on repeat not really paying attention what's going on looking at the screen and seeing liberals and conservatives fighting they're going They just think each other are bad.
00:22:23.000Well, it's true they do, but one side's objectively right and one side's objectively wrong, and the Democrats are psychopaths.
00:23:34.000Yeah, the democratic machine is broken.
00:23:37.000The neocon republicans fled to the democrats and now they're panicking because there's like the gates to, you know, it reminds me of that battle in Lord of the Rings where the orcs are trying to break into, what is it, Helm's Deep?
00:23:50.000And it's probably a bad analogy because in this instance the orcs are the good guys breaking down the door, but the point is The Democrats are in the fortress, and they've crossed the bridge, they've broken the doors down, and now the elites are freaking out because with a lot of the populist Republicans and Trump's popularity, they can't do anything about it.
00:24:30.000Yeah, when the way that people kind of cognitively dissonant dissonanted when when the Hillary's emails dropped, I'm obsessed with Hillary's emails.
00:24:40.000I read a bunch of John Podesta emails, stuff about Sidney Blumenthal getting us into war in Libya with Osprey, his company, Osprey Global Solutions is a gun running company.
00:24:49.000They basically coerced our secretary of state to get us into war so that they could profit.
00:24:54.000And people didn't do anything about it.
00:25:21.000Yeah, that's why I find it so hilarious when you have these like leftist youtubers who are just sitting there ragging on the right all the time and it's like imagine We need we need to parody this maybe we should do it.
00:25:32.000We should totally get a cop We should make that comedy show we're talking about with famous where we could have like they're on the Death Star and it's like Empire podcasters making fun of the the poor people who are fighting back Insulting these these Jedi a bunch of religious fanatics That's basically what it is.
00:25:51.000That's why I find it funny when you have these progressive YouTubers.
00:25:54.000Maybe not necessarily progressive, but some of them.
00:25:55.000fascists. They want to indoctrinate kids and it's just like a bunch of imperial guys on
00:25:59.000the Death Star and they're blowing up planets. That's basically what it is. That's why I
00:26:02.000find it funny when you have these progressive YouTubers.
00:26:06.000Maybe not necessarily progressive, but some of them. But the really establishment Democrat
00:26:10.000ones where they're just like, haha, Trump is bad and the Democrats are good.
00:26:14.000Trump, orange man, bad, no more mean tweets.
00:26:19.000And that reminds me, I made this tweet like maybe a week ago, just expressing the cognitive dissonance that they have saying like, oh, at least I didn't vote for the president that said that, you know, I will grab them by the P word.
00:26:35.000But I voted for the president that said that if you don't vote for me, you're not black.
00:27:04.000No, the one that flew under the radar was maybe a week or two ago, Biden was saying, well, you know, black people don't want to get the vaccine because they've been experimented on.
00:27:38.000It was the bad tweets, the mean tweets.
00:27:39.000Well, you had your choice between grabbing by the hoo-hoo and turning on a shop at a pressure.
00:27:44.000And the thing about Trump was like, The thing about about Trump is like I mean dude's gonna run again.
00:27:51.000He's he's Off the rails a little bit in terms of like he's like really out there and like god.
00:27:56.000He's angry He's a fighter, but he's a fighter and He really does want to want to do what he says He wants to do and you know and he's not part of the establishment in the same way that you know Joe Biden has always been a part of the establishment certainly Donald Trump is an elite and And I don't know who's on his side, but he went for the American people instead of the wealthy elites.
00:28:14.000So what I mean is, I don't know which elites are on his side.
00:28:17.000I know he's got the people, 75 million of them.
00:28:33.000A lot of people started waking up to what was going on, and they were like, dude, I will take Trump over anything the machine has to offer.
00:29:06.000He's certainly a kingmaker now, so we'll see how that forms the GOP going forward.
00:29:11.000I kind of wish he would help develop another candidate rather than try and run again, because I feel like they hate him, and I mean by they, this establishment media organization, hate him so much that They'll really go out of their way to manipulate the media so that he doesn't get in.
00:29:26.000He's not going to get the tweet again.
00:29:35.000The thing is, why I said this before, that Trump shouldn't run and DeSantis should, now I don't know if I completely agree with that anymore.
00:29:41.000At the time, I was like, here's why I think Trump shouldn't run.
00:29:44.000As much as the media will lie, cheat, and steal, Regular people are triggered by Trump.
00:31:02.000Dude, I... Somebody was, you know, chatting.
00:31:05.000They were like, Tim Pool says he won't go to Texas because the libs are moving there, but then he says he goes to West Virginia and won't vote Republican.
00:31:11.000And it's like, yes, all of that makes perfect sense.
00:31:48.000I don't think Obama wanted him at all.
00:31:49.000I mean, he was, y'all know that quote from, like, I think 2007, where Biden's saying, oh, well, Obama's the first clean, articulate, nice, well-spoken African-American.
00:33:33.000But they still like it. I just don't eat it. Yeah. Yeah, he's actually vegan fried chicken
00:33:37.000Oh, yeah Actually again like like Adam and issues to get the vegan
00:33:41.000fried the vegan chicken wings all the time Yeah, it's like fried chicken is good. You just don't want
00:33:45.000to eat the meat I went vegan for like eight months man when you get a taste
00:33:48.000of that meat that vitamin B good so good It's good, but you can tell these elites, you can tell Hillary Clinton has never eaten a piece of fried chicken or any good American fare in her entire life.
00:34:05.000I just imagine like Hillary's remember that story about Hillary on the on the she was on the Air Force jet of some sort and they'd like Like high-ranking Air Force officers are working on the plane and she is according to some story I guess she holds up her wine glass angles Like trying to get some like lieutenant to pour her wine for her and they're like dude.
00:34:24.000We are like officers We're not but then they did it I'm just imagining like her being on a plane and then her going And the guy bring up a big black a big bag of flies and like ladybugs No, Hillary Clinton is not a lizard.
00:35:22.000It's like that Futurama joke where the judge is like, the only poor people I want to hear about are the people who tend to my poors at the spa.
00:35:29.000That's how I envision Hillary Clinton.
00:37:28.000It's like the feds show up and they go into Ian's room and find a sketch pad and he's got a picture of a werewolf about to attack Santa Claus and they're like, oh my god.
00:37:39.000And then instead of telling people what the picture was, the media reports like, you know, a podcast co-host has violent depictions of famous figures being attacked and brutalized.
00:37:51.000And then it's like, it turns out it's a werewolf fighting Santa Claus.
00:39:30.000Because if you're anti-racist, you believe that all white people inherently have some type of thing wrong with them that makes them hate everybody else.
00:39:37.000If you said about any other race, replace white with any other group, that's racist.
00:39:51.000And even if it is, even if it seriously looked like a noose, why is your first thought, it's because I'm black, that somebody left this rope in my garage?
00:39:59.000that's that's the indoctrination and yeah that's what they're like
00:42:11.000When I tweeted, I tweeted that Democrat guy who's like, I'm a fugitive hiding in the airport.
00:42:17.000I tweeted something like, he's a fugitive because he illegally blocked a voter integrity bill to protect the rights of marginalized people.
00:42:25.000vote and then someone responded all offended some blue check like remember when you used
00:42:29.000to be a journalist and I'm like oh no like over target much because the way the Democrats
00:42:35.000and the media works is that everything is always framed as if Republicans are like goblins
00:42:40.000going like yeah and trying to like destroy and burn everything to the ground.
00:42:44.000It's my problem about talking about the Democrats like they're villains sometimes because I
00:42:48.000think that if we if I indulge in talking like ripping on Democrats then they're going to
00:42:52.000indulge in ripping on Republicans and then they're going to indulge in ripping on Democrats
00:42:56.000and it's going to propel this but like those people it's not the people.
00:43:00.000The people are cool a lot of times, but the system is messed.
00:44:03.000He is, but he won't get down into, I guess, the trenches and actually play their game, so to speak.
00:44:10.000That's good to a certain degree, I guess.
00:44:11.000My thing is, You know, the Republicans are like, now, now, let's not go overboard and condemn the Democrats as evil, and the Democrats are literally like, so these evil MFers need to be, like, booted from politics and excised.
00:44:28.000Sometimes I think that that's, like, Christian, that church propaganda to be like, submit!
00:44:32.000Don't defend yourself against aggression.
00:44:34.000And then so all these people become, like, slaves to the church.
00:44:37.000When in reality, if someone hits you in the face, You better take evasive action and figure out how to make that not happen again.
00:44:43.000That's right, otherwise you just get beaten.
00:44:45.000But you have right now, okay, across the country, we had this pandemic.
00:44:49.000And so then everybody basically said, okay, okay, let's make voting a bit easier because of the pandemic.
00:44:54.000So we'll do universal mail-in voting, we'll do curbside, we'll do 24 hours, what Texas was doing.
00:45:00.000All right, now that we have the vaccine out and the rates are declining and Texas has reopened completely, Texas goes, so here's what we're going to do.
00:45:07.000We're not going to remove all of those provisions.
00:45:29.000So when I say I didn't want to move to Texas because of all these liberals that are moving there, let me explain something very simple to a lot of people who don't get this.
00:45:35.000Joe Rogan moves from California to Texas.
00:45:38.000And there's that comic I mentioned frequently where he's carrying the liberal policies suitcase.
00:45:43.000Well, a lot of people say, yeah, but come on, you really think Joe Rogan's gonna vote in all that stuff?
00:45:49.000But what about all the people that get hired because of the industry he brings to Austin?
00:45:53.000What about when Joe Rogan says, I'm moving to Austin, and then a bunch of people go like, there's gonna be new shows, there's gonna be comedy venues, there's gonna be jobs and industry and opportunity.
00:47:35.000I love the meme where he wins the entire electoral college.
00:47:40.000The best one was was in the UK elections when they were like it's it's the UK and then someone made the map of the UK and it was like Tory and and you know Lib Dem or whatever and it was jab jab he wins all of the UK So anyway, I digress.
00:47:56.000Look, what I will get the Republicans is that because of the populist takeover of many Republicans, they forced the establishment's hand, kicked out a bunch of the neocons.
00:48:06.000And I got to admit, as much as I'm not a fan of the idea of voting against a party, Democrats have crossed the line to such a degree.
00:48:15.000We are at one of the most dangerous points in American history.
00:49:16.000And I'm like, I'm gonna have to email people and be like, guys, guys, guys, like, we gotta have a better review, because there's no way this is... It's true.
00:50:07.000Quote, Biden's allied groups, including the Democratic National Committee, are also planning to engage fact-checkers more aggressively and work with SMS carriers to dispel misinformation about vaccines that is sent over social media and text messages.
00:50:22.000The goal is to ensure that people who have difficulty getting a vaccination because of issues like transportation see those barriers lessened or removed entirely.
00:51:10.000You know, a big problem with this that is showing its head to me is that a year ago, well, even like six months ago, talking about the lab leak hypothesis was considered misinformation and would have been censored.
00:51:22.000So I don't know what's going to not be considered misinformation in the future that's considered misinformation right now that would cause people to have their entire phone history censored or what is it?
00:51:32.000All right, so in the report from Politico that gave us an example, Charlie Kirk.
00:51:43.000Because Turning Point USA had a tweet where they said that Biden is, I'm paraphrasing, is sending out goons to go door-to-door to make people who are not vaccinated get the vaccine.
00:53:02.000But think about how insane that is, that there are people where a guy shows up, they don't know who this person is, how are they supposed to know and trust it's a doctor?
00:53:09.000It's a random person they've never met before, like, I'm here to inject you in the arm.
00:53:12.000Listen, the craziest thing about this is, There's counter-indications.
00:53:35.000That's the kind of stuff that they want to censor.
00:53:38.000They want to... I don't know if that means dispel, you know, but there were a few people who followed up saying like, wait, wait, wait, let me get this straight.
00:53:44.000Like you're saying they want private phone companies to like block these messages.
00:55:00.000But I think common carrier rules, I don't know the actual restrictions and rules, but I think that they're not allowed to like curate what can and can't be said on a phone call or text.
00:55:10.000Technically, I think, at least that's the way I believe it was supposed to have been created and protected.
00:55:15.000That's because they're like a utility, right?
00:55:22.000Isn't there an agreement, you know, between people who use the service and the company that, you know, they won't look through their messages, they won't censor their messages?
00:55:35.000No, I'm pretty sure, yeah, everybody, when you like turn on your iPhone or whatever, they're like, we get access to your information.
00:55:41.000Because how are they supposed to transmit the information unless they had access to it, right?
00:55:45.000There's a lot of people don't understand about the social media companies where it'll say like we have the it'll say you know in terms of service we have the right to host distribute and you know perform any content you post create or otherwise display on our website in perpetuity blah blah blah and people are like they're saying they're gonna take all the rights to your content and what that really means is that you're saying you can post this on your website.
00:56:08.000Like, people don't understand that in order for, like, Instagram to actually show your image, they need to have the distribution rights on that image.
00:56:17.000And people, like, freak out about that.
00:56:18.000Like a non-exclusive right to... Yeah, otherwise you could be like, I never gave them permission to show that photo in this part of the world or whatever.
00:56:26.000I think Mines had, before we went over to the Matrix messaging system, it was all encrypted messaging.
00:56:33.000Mines didn't have any of the messages.
00:56:34.000It would only be the end-to-end user encryption is what it's called.
00:56:48.000Oh, they got to let that go to the NSA, right?
00:56:51.000Maybe it's time that we force a legalization or.
00:56:54.000Well, to me, this sounds a little bit like section 230, because why would a company not want to be able to say, Oh, Oh, I have no access to that information.
00:57:02.000I can't even give it to like, uh, a security organization.
00:57:21.000The Democratic Party outright is saying, the Democratic National Committee, that they want private text messages censored.
00:57:29.000Facebook and Twitter have already censored private messages, and Instagram, but Instagram is Facebook.
00:57:34.000I remember I was talking to someone recently on Facebook, and they blocked some tweet, or some post, and it was really, really weird.
00:57:40.000Like, we were talking about something I think was having to do with immigration, and I was like, here's a story, check this out, and it was blocked, and it was from like a regular news outlet.
00:57:58.000So already, as we shift our communications onto like Facebook Messenger instead of text, because most people do, a lot of people do, they can already censor what you say between your own friends.
00:58:07.000I used to think technocracy would be awesome.
00:58:10.000Now I'm starting to think this is technocracy.
00:58:11.000This is what happens when corporations, technical corporations take over and control the government.
00:58:16.000Yeah, but like why would I assume that Mark Zuckerberg or Jack Dorsey or Bill Gates know how to actually manage people?
00:59:31.000I'm like, if we had perfect people, this would be great.
00:59:34.000I think more than a technocracy this is like so this is almost like AI because you know humans program the AI and make it happen now we're just using humans to try and censor these people we're using these fact checkers people like Glenn Kessler who are just fantastic people like PolitiFact we know these people check facts in a very biased way so we're like one step closer to AI but we don't have any kind of There was a famous fact check where Bernie Sanders said something like, half of any inner city youth are unemployed.
01:00:03.000And then Donald Trump said, you know, it's a horrible statistic.
01:00:06.000Half of our inner city kids not getting jobs.
01:00:09.000And then with Bernie Sanders, PolitiFact is like, mostly true.
01:00:36.000Like, the chain between the factions just severed, and now you have the left who are saying, they're just like, When I think about the modern left, I see a bunch of people just standing there, beet red, screaming at the top of their lungs.
01:00:51.000And when I think of the right, I see a bunch of people with their eyes half closed, smug, waving American flags.
01:00:55.000That's like my vision of the left and the right, right now.
01:01:00.000So, you can't have a conversation with people who are just standing there screaming at the top of their lungs.
01:01:05.000Do you guys see this viral video of the woman who's being filmed and then she drops the floor and starts screaming and crying?
01:02:03.000Hey, rage feels good, but that's why I do acting and music, because you get it out in a scene on camera and it's entertaining for people, or you get it out in a song and people cry.
01:02:40.000These Antifa people, when they go out and they're screaming and just banging their heads and smashing things, that is them failing at life.
01:02:48.000But the problem is, you know, we can make fun of how dumb they are.
01:02:51.000But there's a lot of them going around smashing up stuff, screaming and rolling around on the ground.
01:02:56.000So like when Michael Malice says that these people aren't really dumb, so obviously we're going to win.
01:03:14.000Navy in shambles as leaders prioritize wokeness over combat readiness.
01:03:20.000This is a report that was commissioned by Congress.
01:03:22.000And they found, in a couple instances, one, there was, on the USS Bonham Richards, I think it's called, it's a $750 million warship started on fire.
01:05:55.000The US surrendered and American soldiers are on their knees with their hands on their heads as Iranian Revolutionary Guard come in at guns and point them at our soldiers.
01:06:26.000There is an insulated bubble that is the community that we have, and the people we talk to, and the people who watch this show, and the people who share this show.
01:06:32.000And go to TimCast.com, become members.
01:06:34.000These people are prepared, more so, paying attention, active, and principled, for the most part.
01:07:21.000I want to see America flourish and be strong and last a thousand generations because we believe in really great things, but we're being corrupted from the inside out.
01:07:29.000So what would I feel if I woke up one day and they were like, America is no more?
01:07:35.000I'd be like, all right, let's start planting food.
01:08:24.000The Gauls basically, the people from the north, came down and took over all of Rome, destroyed it, and created the Italian Empire or the Italian country.
01:08:33.000And then over like 150 years, they stripped the rights of the Romans away slowly.
01:08:38.000So if we were to do a peaceful divorce here, I could see like, yeah, you've got your farm, but then all of a sudden in 30 years or 40 years, they come in and take a third of your property.
01:08:47.000And and you're at at their at their whim because they have the weapons.
01:11:30.000One problem with the Balkans is it's been basically the butt of military ravage for like 2,000 years.
01:11:37.000I mean, that area of the world, because it's been splintered for so long, is just constantly overrun, conquered, people are murdered, genocide.
01:12:09.000Like, the parallels to the Roman Empire.
01:12:12.000So how would you would you support a very decentralized federal government that, you know, bare bones and protects your rights and protects, you know, our nation's security.
01:12:21.000But, you know, the states are kind of.
01:12:25.000Oh, yeah I'd love to build an app where you could vote on local issues like a tinder style app where you could be like hey everyone I'm this is Ian cross and I want to put a fountain on Main Street.
01:12:34.000It's gonna cost $40,000 vote for this project terrible idea you go through and then if you like that you can swipe right add it to your list of things you want to put your tax dollars for Terrible a terrible idea I don't think so.
01:12:44.000You want to decentralize and localize governance, basically.
01:13:15.000They were like, everyone agreed, and then they went to the store and said, we can't find it, just buy the ones from Walmart.
01:13:18.000Oh, so if they were like, vote for this fountain and everyone was like, yeah, and they put all this money towards it and they didn't know how to build the fountain, that's a problem.
01:13:24.000So you'd have to be able to follow through with your plan, have an entire plan ready to go.
01:13:28.000I'll tell you exactly what would happen.
01:13:29.000I've learned the wonders of septic leech fields only in the past year, because I never had a septic system before.
01:13:36.000But I can tell you exactly what'll happen when a bunch of people who know nothing about anything show up and they go, hey, look, a big empty field.
01:13:57.000Well, that's why you have governors and mayors to, like, stop stupid behavior, you know?
01:14:03.000So you mean elected representatives to be like, hey, you can't do that?
01:14:05.000Yeah, you still have them, but rather than, like, rely on an external person to come build that building for you, you could, like, locally... Here's what would happen, dude.
01:14:14.000People would vote for the building, then someone would say, look, that's a leach field, we have a regulation barring the building of that, and someone would go, I propose we get rid of that regulation!
01:14:22.000And they'll vote to get rid of it because people want to make money.
01:14:30.000If a bunch of people voted for the building on the leach field, and it was all these people voted for it, so it was ready to go, and then all of a sudden they found out it can't happen, it would be removed from your list.
01:16:04.000And they start building it, and then they just... No, no, you definitely need checks and balances.
01:16:08.000But I can't stand that, like, people in upper echelons of government are deciding what gets built where, and I don't have, like, an opportunity to input.
01:16:20.000What if, and just bear with me here, what if I pulled up on my app and I wrote, let's bomb Cuba, and then swiped right in your hypothetical government.
01:17:19.000Cuban authorities block access to the internet in response to protests.
01:17:22.000My favorite aspect of the story is when Brian Seltzer of CNN tweeted out this quote where he's like, restricting access to the internet is a move of dictators.
01:17:29.000And I'm like, what does that say about Joe Biden and Jack Dorsey and Facebook and you?
01:17:34.000Because he's the one who's gone on and said don't listen to Fox News and, you know, been a defender of banning and regulating speech on these platforms.
01:17:40.000So what does it say about all these people?
01:17:42.000But yeah, anyway, look, people of Cuba, they're fighting back.
01:17:45.000I don't think we should go bombing them though, but... Bomb who?
01:18:35.000What I'm suggesting is that option is one that has to be explored and cannot be just simply discarded as an option that is not on the table.
01:19:57.000Apparently it's like, they're mini sensors, like dust sensors that are as small as dust, but they're going to make drones that size that can like fly into your inner ear, into your brain.
01:20:32.000Yeah, and it's this dystopian, this guy's building drones, like Amazon or whatever.
01:20:36.000He's like, we're gonna transport all your, we have drones everywhere to transport.
01:20:39.000And then the drones go haywire and they start, Patrolling the city all day every day drones flying about murdering shooting at anyone So people are basically running from building to building a black mirror and trying to live.
01:20:50.000Yeah No, not the bees the dog ones Yeah, the dogs were running around hunting people down the robot dogs Oh, me neither.
01:20:58.000They had an episode where there was these bee drones that were like burrowed into your brain.
01:22:23.000So this is not very political anymore.
01:22:25.000No, this is a great conversation, though.
01:22:26.000I wanna talk about, we might go into this more, since you're a wrestler, and we've talked about trans women and wrestling men, we might go into this on the app.
01:24:36.000Yeah, they got released by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
01:24:38.000But it's amazing when we prioritize wokeness, our own navy, our army.
01:24:45.000So what you're saying is that we could technically bomb Cuba, but we're not going to be able to because we're super woke now and the military is completely ineffective.
01:25:40.000Because they're not that's the point of the military's you don't want to take that stuff up
01:25:43.000But then why wouldn't you just come out and be like no nukes are off the table, but secretly they're not off the table
01:25:48.000That's better Nukes are never off the table bombs are never off the table
01:25:52.000Yeah, but I don't I don't see what's to gain by actually intervening with Cuba
01:25:55.000I don't like communism you know, but I just think the u.s.
01:25:59.000Is is, I mean, it's probably good for the military industrial complex because they'll be like, oh, we can screw up the United States and then create another massive crisis where we'll get funding from the government forever.
01:28:11.000That's if you're if you're racist, that lens is gonna is gonna make you see it when you look outside.
01:28:17.000So at a certain point, are we going to be like Tony Shalhoub and Galaxy Quest just laughing at the absurdity about to be about about how about to blow up or something?
01:29:17.000We'll make juice, cake, we got jalapenos.
01:29:19.000I was having, last night, I don't know how you guys feel, I was having kind of a nihilistic night last night.
01:29:25.000Do you guys go through this where, kind of like you're saying, just laugh at all the chaos and like, well, let's just get what I can out of this before it's all over.
01:29:31.000That's what our leaders have been doing for the past 20 years.
01:30:04.000Like, we could build a software, like a, you know, decentralized, powered system that's powered by, like, vacuum energy or, like, fusion energy, localized, where people can communicate uncensored, but...
01:30:17.000I don't know if the human consciousness is able to do it.
01:30:22.000I don't know if humans are just too busted as an animal that we can't function sociologically at scale.
01:30:50.000In Star Trek, the Borg was working in unison towards a goal of assimilating more technology and expanding and whatever.
01:30:57.000But the reality is, if you assimilate, if you've got ten people and six of them are psychotic leftists, and you assimilate everybody, the collective just becomes psychotically left.
01:31:08.000It'll just spaz out and accuse everyone of racism and then collapse.
01:31:10.000If you have like nine crazy racists and then a 10th, like really calm Zen Buddha master joined, would it make the other nine very calm or would it turn the Buddha master racist?
01:31:22.000The Buddha master wouldn't necessarily become racist, but if they all function in line with the collective, they would all move towards the crazy racism.
01:31:28.000So the Buddha Master would be like, oh, I'm having crazy thoughts, but he keeps dispensing his thoughts, having no thought, and then eventually the crazy people start to have less and less thoughts?
01:32:01.000I wonder if you would, as a strong mind, be able to warp the Collective, to bend to your will, so to speak, for the good of humanity, whatever that means.
01:32:11.000Well, I think there's something like that in Marvel with Dr. Doom.
01:33:43.000Mediocre Fisherman says, if you can pick two political figures to run in 2024, who would it be?
01:33:47.000Well, I don't know who Dave Smith's VP is going to be, but I am really, really looking forward to a Michael Malice Press Secretary for the Libertarian Party.
01:33:56.000That is going to be the greatest thing ever.
01:34:05.000I would love to just go back to like 14 year old Tim and like sit down and be like, listen, in 2024, This guy named Michael Malice will be the press secretary for a libertarian candidate and it's going to be glorious.
01:34:17.000And then just like show like a clip of Michael Malice and the things he says and then get my younger self all excited for just the shenanigans.
01:34:24.000The epic trolling of the establishment machine.
01:34:27.000I had one single interaction with Michael Malice and it was so hilarious.
01:36:37.000Tanner Hines says, have you seen Gavin Newsom's campaign ads claiming the same Republicans who refused to accept the election results are back again to smear him and waste taxpayer money on recalling him?
01:37:11.000Yeah, the people and the Democrats in Texas are supposed to be like, oh, I'm here to vote for my people.
01:37:15.000And if we don't win because we're in the minority position, like at a certain point you recognize what democracy, a democratic republic is supposed to be.
01:37:23.000Or a constitutional republic with democratic institutions, to put it more specifically.
01:37:37.000So, Ian's camera froze from a random frame from last night, which is weird because the show ends, like... That's the second time it's happened.
01:37:53.000But it's weird that it's an image of you from last night's show, but the show went on like normal and then ends, then it just randomly pulls up this image and freezes it there.
01:38:01.000Do you think people are capable of interacting with electricity?
01:39:06.000We're trying to hire a composer, like...
01:39:08.000We need somebody whose job it will be to just sit around all day making beats and tracks and music.
01:39:13.000Kind of like ambient hip-hop, rock, indie style, just a mix.
01:39:17.000Because we need to use the music for our shows, for the podcasts, and then we can take some of those songs and turn them into full songs.
01:39:24.000So we literally need someone who just sits around making music all day and we could hire them and have them just sit in a room and make music all day.
01:39:29.000I've been watching a lot of Beatles lately.
01:39:31.000And man, something that music desperately needs right now is that Ooh, wah, wah, wah, ooh, wah, wah, ooh, yeah, yeah, la, la, la, la.
01:40:04.000Eli says, Ed Calderon worked in the fields of counter-narcotics, organized crime investigation and public safety in the northern border region of Mexico.
01:42:20.000We want their plane to land safely because you want to see a perp walk.
01:42:23.000This is the important thing about justice.
01:42:25.000You need to have them in a court of law, pay the penalty so that everybody knows and sees it's legitimate, and they're being held accountable through a legitimate process.
01:42:36.000That's why we had the Nuremberg trials.
01:42:38.000We said, we're gonna put these people down, we're gonna show everybody the evidence, and we're gonna prove it in a court.
01:42:43.000You gotta make sure that happens to these people.
01:42:45.000They land, they broke the law, they get arrested, there you go.
01:44:25.000TRD has a great super chat, and I can't read it because, well, because I can't read it.
01:44:31.000YouTube says you can't say these things.
01:44:33.000So I can appreciate that you sent the super chat in, but I can't read what it says.
01:44:37.000But he does say Salty Army is legion, and the salt must flow.
01:44:40.000That part I can read, the rest I can't.
01:44:43.000smokes says michael malice anarchist handbook handbook inspired me to break the first rule of super chat in making a guest suggestion please consider inviting my friend pedro delfino to the compound he skates for death wish it would leave me speechless i see where no he put speed Maybe I'm not familiar with Pedro Delfino.
01:45:03.000Are you saying we should have him skate at the skate park?
01:49:05.000Keeping America Afloat says, if government is supposed to protect our rights and the big tech companies violate them, wouldn't the government contracting the big tech be treason?
01:49:19.000But it's actually just more like they're outsourcing violations of the constitution because the government.
01:49:24.000I don't think the government is supposed to protect our, I mean, well, maybe they're supposed to protect our rights, but in a perfect world.
01:50:12.000Yeah, I want to get Alex, if he's willing, to come on with someone.
01:50:16.000And like I was thinking, it'd be really interesting to have people who are in politics and culture, but not in the same areas, have conversations.
01:50:23.000So, like, you know, we had Michael and Alex, and they're in a similar space.
01:50:27.000You know, it's culture war, it's politics.
01:50:30.000It'd be interesting to have someone whose focus is on, like, economics.
01:50:48.000I think that's the DNC when Alex showed up and then he went to the set of the Young Turks, because it was like the Young Turks were doing a show, but it was an open area in the press area.
01:51:24.000Okay, so we have some guests that are gonna come in August, I hope, but I need to hear back from them, like, details of, like, for booking flights and stuff.
01:51:33.000It's gonna be, like, we're gonna do posters for it.
01:51:36.000And it's gonna be probably stupid to overhype, but, you know, it's gonna be a right and a left, and we're gonna come in, and it's gonna be, like, a gentlemanly debate.
01:52:20.000Because city people They are the well-to-do, good, moral, upstanding citizens who want to help the poor, marginalized, who don't know anything about them.
01:52:43.000The Democrats don't care about these people.
01:52:44.000I don't think the people in the cities actually want to help the rural people.
01:52:47.000They'll help the poor people in the city.
01:52:48.000But, you know, when Texas was having these, like, mass power outages, there were plenty of liberal city elitists saying, oh, well, they voted Republican.
01:52:59.000You know, they're all these backwards hicks.
01:53:07.000I don't know, but if city people are feeling contempt for country people, I think it's because the city people think the country people are cowards because they're not facing other humans.
01:53:19.000No, I think that city people look down on country people because they think they're unsophisticated.
01:53:25.000They like their degrees and all that kind of stuff.
01:53:32.000Sats says, if Tim thinks living in a broken nation will be fine because he has chickens, he's obviously never lived in a destabilized country before.
01:53:39.000Americans have it so good and it shows when they say asinine comments like this.
01:53:43.000Or how about Sats, you greatly underestimate my experience in many parts of the world.
01:53:48.000I've been to Venezuela, I've been to Egypt, Morocco, Ukraine, I've been to Brazil, I've been to the slums.
01:54:30.000Everything else is just borrowed luxury.
01:54:34.000It's amazing to me how Americans just live in the absolute of absolute luxury and you still have these Occupy protests complaining.
01:54:42.000You still have people demanding the government give them more stuff and they barely work as it is.
01:54:46.000I've watched, I've seen, I've seen people who have no teeth and they're in their 20s because they mine sulfur and other garbage like that.
01:54:52.000I've been in countries where people live in, in hollowed out Destroyed buildings.
01:54:59.000I mean, I've actually been to a bunch of gutter squats in the United States, and I've seen how people live when they have nothing.
01:55:04.000And I've been to Venezuela, and we got to drive past the Tower of David, I think they call it, where they tried building a skyscraper and it failed, and the company shut down, and now it's just people walking up 100 flights of stairs.
01:55:17.000What destabilized countries look like.
01:55:19.000And when you live in the middle of nowhere, and you can handle yourself, and you're confident in yourself, and you've prepared, and you have research, and you have resources, I'm not gonna pretend like I'm Bear Grylls, and I know how to, you know, I could fight a grizzly bear with my bare hands, but I can tell you this, I am resourceful and capable, and I'm not worried.
01:56:05.000I'm not going to pretend to have half the skill of those people, but I do know that I'm resourceful enough to survive in absolute chaos.
01:56:12.000All right, Beastiedevil says, Which is exactly why we said East Coast goes to Europe, Midwest and Northern States go to Canada, Southern States go to Mexico, and the West Coast goes to China.
01:56:33.000That was the John Titor thing, I think, though.
01:56:57.000The entire history of that country was aggressive war in the name of defense.
01:57:01.000Because in the very beginning, they were... Rome was conquered and destroyed, and 90% of the people were massacred, so, like, they had this old consciousness of, like, we have to fight, we have to kill our enemies before they destroy us.
01:58:07.000Christopher says, make sure Luke knows I saw a squirrel once.
01:58:11.000You guys should send Luke all of your love, and you can tweet at him and say, Luke, we love you, and follow LukeWeAreChange on Twitter, and let him know that no Luke, we puke!
01:58:19.000Every night before the show, we all sit here and recognize that Luke isn't here, and then we all just vomit profusely, and then we gotta clean it up, and it's all over the table.
01:58:27.000It gets in the table, it gets in the keyboard.
01:58:29.000It's like the 12th keyboard we've gone through because you just keep barfing because Luke's not here.
02:01:22.000So Jerome has a standing invite, but I don't know if you've noticed at the rate he's dropping music, that man is unbelievably busy and he's doing it all on his own with his girlfriend and his pal.
02:01:31.000So whenever he gets a break, we'd love to have him.
02:01:36.000Jerome Morrow says, please create a fictional episodic show that starts as very thinly veiled narrative of the current activity of the American authoritarian left, and then proceeds to depict the horrific nightmare dystopia that inevitably follows.
02:02:34.000We are going to do, we're going to do, so as part of the new website, we're actually going to have like an auction functionality.
02:02:41.000Because what we're going to do for the live events, which hopefully we will have in the next like month or so, announce one of our first events.
02:02:47.000They were supposed to be months and months ago.
02:02:48.000We're a bit, you know, jammed up in the process.
02:02:51.000The way it's going to work is there's going to be first come first serve, as well as highest bidder.
02:02:56.000We're trying to find a way to make it as maximally open as possible.
02:03:01.000Some people were like, I work 24-7, how am I supposed to be able to go on the internet and buy a ticket before anyone else if I'm at work?
02:03:07.000And I'm like, so then maybe what we do is people can bid on tickets and we can also make it so that people can buy tickets if it's first come first serve.
02:03:15.000That way there's an option for people who are at work and don't have time but can spend a little bit more money and then people who don't have that much money but might have more time just trying to figure out how to make it work.
02:03:23.000But we can do an auction on a variety of costumes like, you know, make Ian wear the rainbow I don't know about that.
02:04:12.000At around 11 or so, we will have a members-only podcast up from, uh, which is the extension of tonight's show.
02:04:18.000That's where we talk about the things that YouTube tells us we can't really talk about.
02:04:21.000So, like, whatever Ian's costume might end up being, we'll say the actual name of it because we can't say it for the most part on YouTube.
02:04:26.000You can follow this show on Instagram and Facebook at Timcast IRL.
02:04:30.000We're also on TikTok at Timcast underscore IRL.
02:04:33.000We're just trying to leverage these networks to get people to go to the website because ultimately we want to have our own independent media platform that is It doesn't need any of these social networks.
02:04:42.000For the time being, though, we don't want to cede that ground in the culture war by just abandoning them, so it's a double-edged sword, I guess.
02:04:48.000It's hard to know how to deal with this stuff, because the censorship is really, really awful.
