On today's show, we have a special guest on the show to talk about the latest news regarding Donald Trump and COVID, a new drug being developed to treat Crohn's and Crorepatis. We also have an update on the status of the president's recovery.
00:00:27.000last night Donald Trump announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19 as
00:00:33.000did the first lady Melania Melania Trump and And now we're getting breaking news that while his symptoms aren't severe, so they say, out of an abundance of caution, Donald Trump is being airlifted to Walter Reed on Marine One.
00:00:46.000He was seen leaving the White House giving a thumbs up.
00:00:52.000And it's just crazy timing with everything that's going on.
00:00:55.000And now conspiracy theories are popping up.
00:00:57.000You've got high-profile leftists arguing that Donald Trump is faking his sickness so he could change the news cycle, and it's just absolutely ridiculous.
00:01:05.000But apparently Donald Trump is being given an experimental treatment.
00:01:11.000It's still in clinical trials, we'll see.
00:01:13.000But there's been an ongoing conspiracy among the left that Trump is going to announce he's been cured after a few days because he took hydroxychloroquine.
00:01:49.000One of the conspiracies is that we're now going to be entering COVID Watch for Donald Trump, as the tickers are on the news saying, like, Day 7, Donald Trump COVID Watch.
00:01:57.000But in all seriousness, hopefully he's gonna be fine.
00:02:01.000We're gonna have a... I guess we're not having a normal election no matter what happens, so that's 2020.
00:02:05.000But anyway, welcome to the Tim Cast IRL Podcast.
00:02:08.000We are hanging out with, of course, Ian Crossland.
00:03:41.000From the Daily Mail, Trump gives thumbs up as he walks to Marine One to be medevaced to Walter Reed for COVID treatment.
00:03:50.000President releases video reassuring Americans he is doing well as son Eric asks, pray for my dad and White House says he is staying in charge.
00:05:24.000He's just trying to steal back the news cycle.
00:05:27.000Well, you know, they talk about how devastating COVID is, but, you know, or the mainstream media will have you think, oh, like they have the death count on CNN.
00:09:07.000Look, I think if the companies do testing and the vaccine comes out, I'm not worried that a bunch of people are going to turn into zombies or drop dead or become Biden or something.
00:09:18.000I always think about I Am Legend, where they're like, we have this cure for cancer.
00:09:25.000And then suddenly, you know, there's like, the last person on earth is Will Smith.
00:09:29.000Yeah, but the movie ruined the actual story.
00:09:33.000Like, the actual story was that once everyone was a vampire, was like a zombie mutant, whatever, he was the legendary monster who lurked while they slept, killing them.
00:09:47.000So I've actually referenced, you know, I've referenced I Am Legend in the context of, like, social justice and, you know, identitarianism on the left.
00:09:57.000Like, there will come a point where, when the entire country has adopted this ideology, you are the fringe zealot weirdo with crazy ideas.
00:10:05.000And that's kind of like the same idea, you know?
00:10:07.000Like, everyone becomes a zombie because they take the Biden vaccine.
00:10:21.000That's why I think it's like, I'll wait a little bit.
00:10:24.000You know, I'm not going to, you know, if, if they announced a vaccine, I'm not going to run out the door full speed, throw my coat and like go 90 miles an hour.
00:11:21.000So, uh, I don't know if I want to take a vaccine that's been, like, mass produced and pumped out by a major pharmaceutical in only a few months, you know?
00:11:28.000Are we supposed to wait until, like, COVID-23 hits, and then we... Is that why it's called 19?
00:11:58.000Do you guys think it has something to do with global warming?
00:12:01.000I'm going to go there because like, if they say that like bacteria and stuff can lie dormant under the glaciers and as they recede, that it releases new... I heard about that.
00:12:30.000But anyway, they're going to like, they're going to make a movie out of this and they're going to, they're going to, they're going to have, you know, Trump and it's going to be like Alec Baldwin, just really horrible impression.
00:12:38.000And it's gonna be, like, some climate change researchers, and they're gonna watch, like, the Larson B. Ice Shelf break, and it's gonna be, um, what's that guy's name?
00:12:52.000No, Randy- I think those guys are brothers, though.
00:12:55.000Randy's the one- Oh, I'm sorry, I'm- Yeah, Randy's the crazy one, who's got the crazy beard, who's like- I was thinking Independence Day, that's my thought.
00:14:18.000Well, first, first, first of all, we don't know.
00:14:21.000And that's one of the biggest issues when people make assertions like, it did this, it did that.
00:14:25.000The general thinking is that it emerged from baths, and then because of the unsanitary conditions of the wet markets in China, you end up with it spreading around and then going crazy.
00:14:34.000And that's really easy to believe, man.
00:14:41.000So, for those of you that are listening, a woman who worked at, I believe, Hong Kong University, or a university in Hong Kong, saying that it was manufactured and released on purpose.
00:14:49.000And I'm kind of like, First, it's one person who didn't work in any of these labs in China saying this.
00:14:55.000And I feel like there's certain people- She says she has evidence.
00:14:59.000She released a paper on it explaining it.
00:15:04.000I'm just saying it's really easy to believe that the horrifying human rights abuses and unsanitary conditions of China and their pollution problems, I'm sure they got all kinds of crazy diseases, man.
00:15:17.000Like you'll go there and you'll walk out with like 17 new plagues or something.
00:15:21.000And I'm not trying to be mean, I'm saying, like, those wet markets are really dirty.
00:15:25.000Yeah, they don't really exist in the United States, do they?
00:15:27.000Not in the same way, but if you go to, like, Chinatown, you've seen this, right?
00:15:31.000When you're in New York and they have all, like, the fish and the rabbits and stuff that's, like, sitting in front of the shops.
00:17:18.000I don't think we would have found anything.
00:17:19.000They'd bring us to their Potemkin wet markets where everyone's wearing like a chef suit and they're like doing song and dance and like all everything's in a refrigerator.
00:17:27.000Do you think they would have taken us to like, if we would have said, okay, Wet market?
00:18:31.000I've read multiple instances of gigantic explosions in Wuhan and I haven't pulled up for anything, but yeah, that was really interesting to me.
00:19:58.000And they were like, here's how you can blow up a power plant.
00:20:00.000And they actually did a demonstration where they made a pipe burst.
00:20:03.000They put a valve on it, though, so that when it bursts, it pressurizes the valve.
00:20:07.000But there was, like, one thing where they said, like, this system that we're manipulating is what nuclear power plants use, it's what refineries use, and we can actually hack this system very easily with only a few lines of code to send the fluid, whichever it is, in the same direction into the same pipe until it explodes.
00:20:25.000And the pressure, boom, will spray fuel and probably spark a fire, and then, uh, and go up.
00:20:30.000And so I think about stuff like that, and I don't know to what extent we've shorn up our cyber security defenses, but I don't think, I don't know that even if we did, it would make a difference.
00:20:40.000Alright, so I bring this up because then you hear all these stories about like, you know, this oil refinery blew up for an unknown, it was an accident, it must have been an accident.
00:20:47.000Then you hear about these explosions happening in Wuhan.
00:20:50.000You hear about all these things, and I wonder how much of this may actually be hot war, like legit full-on efforts by both countries to hurt each other.
00:20:59.000Meanwhile, the public just thinks everything's okay.
00:21:02.000Or maybe it was the Chinese trying to cover up things and, oh my God, this explosion just happened for no reason.
00:21:16.000As far as infiltrating these systems, Do you think that all countries have the potential of doing it to all other countries?
00:21:26.000Dude, the scary thing about cyber war is that some 19-year-old kid who's bored in his bedroom from anywhere could be like, I would like to do these things.
00:21:53.000This kid in Russia, he was Syrian, hacked Twitter.
00:21:57.000And we believe this is the guy, at least the last time I had anything to do with reporting on the story.
00:22:04.000He was just some college kid, and I believe he was in Moscow, and he tweeted that Obama had been injured in an attack on the White House, and it caused a stock drop off of like four point something billion dollars.
00:22:16.000And then within five minutes, once it was realized it was fake, it rebounded.
00:22:19.000What people don't realize is that was a dramatic and massive transfer of wealth in only a few minutes.
00:22:26.000When the stock got sold off because of the cyber attack, that was person A selling and losing the asset.
00:22:33.000And then when it rebounded and went right back up, that was person B. Get it?
00:22:38.000Different people were getting rid of... I couldn't imagine being that person who was sitting on, you know, your stock.
00:22:44.000Then there's this fake tweet, the computer automatically sells off your assets, and then someone else automatically bought them right back up, and then you realize it was all fake?
00:23:40.000You know, like the collusion, in a sense, from media companies and from social media.
00:23:47.000So, for example, what I mean is, when Tucker Carlson has a woman on who says, I've written a paper and I have evidence that this was made in a lab, I say, prove it.
00:24:33.000Because I don't think there's a grand, you know, architect controlling the machine.
00:24:38.000But when Tucker Carlson has an expert with credentials, PhD from a university in Hong Kong who says they have proof and published a paper on it, how is that fake news?
00:25:07.000I noticed something when I was looking at some of these fact-checking organizations.
00:25:13.000I saw a website, and I forgot what the name of it was, and they were saying some outlandish claim, and I went there and I was reading about it, and I was like, this story seems nuts.
00:25:22.000So I pulled up these fact-checking sites.
00:25:24.000You got, like, Check Your Fact and, like, you know, Know Your Fact or whatever and lead stories.
00:25:28.000And I started reading about one of these sites and it said, you know, these stories are fake news.
00:25:51.000So basically what happens is, you can get former intelligence individuals to go on record and say something, but if it goes against orthodoxy, then the media machine is like, that must be fake news, therefore it is.
00:26:03.000For example, I'll give you another really good example.
00:26:30.000So you have two people arguing and speculating with each other on the internet, yet one of them is granted power to actually inhibit the spread of certain information.
00:27:45.000Could you imagine there's like Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton's in the back room with a remote control and a microphone and she's like controlling him.
00:28:09.000I don't usually fall for those conspiracy theories.
00:28:12.000Like when they say that Joe Biden is reading from a teleprompter when he's answering questions from reporters.
00:28:19.000Or the one where he was on James Corden and he's holding up pictures and you're like, See in reflection in the picture, there's a teleprompter.
00:28:28.000It's like, well, but he's just talking about his kids.
00:28:33.000Like even if he was like in that, in that moment, I don't care if he's reading from a teleprompter and he didn't sound like he was reading from a teleprompter and he wasn't talking about policy.
00:28:42.000But I don't understand the teleprompter thing anyway.
00:28:44.000Well, because he has a, he has a broadcast camera set up in his, in his home.
00:28:51.000Well, well, but see, the thing is, there's been other, uh, there's, there's been other times where he's been speaking with like a governor or something and it's supposed to be a conversation.
00:30:36.000Like, back in the day, with the presidents, they just didn't have a prompter before elec- well, not before elections, but before TV, before radio and stuff.
00:32:34.000Trump called McCain a loser and referenced him losing in 2008.
00:32:38.000So I think he wasn't saying like, what a loser as a derogatory.
00:32:41.000He wasn't kind of being like, well, he was a loser because he lost, which is an insult.
00:32:45.000But either way, like he said those words, you know, but he does kind of just sometimes you're like, bro, we know you said it, you know what I mean?
00:33:15.000So when you listen to the word Laurel with a phone with no subwoofer, with just a really high-pitched microphone like on a crappy phone, you hear, Yanny.
00:33:25.000But if you had a good phone, it was expensive, you had Laurel.
00:33:28.000The same thing was true with the black and gold dress, and, I'm sorry, the black and blue and the white and gold dress.
00:33:32.000Depending on if you had the filters on your phone, like a blue filter or whatever, you would see a shadowed white and gold, and if you're looking on a computer, you'd see something slightly different.
00:33:40.000And so all of these people are viewing the same thing through different lenses and different devices, and then being like, you're wrong, I know for a fact it's this!
00:34:04.000And all of a sudden there was a Laurel Yanny phenomenon where I actually had, I had this like high profile journalist hit me up because I tweeted, Jim Acosta clearly, like, I can't remember exactly what happened, it's been a long time.
00:34:14.000But what I think happened was, she grabbed the mic, and he was pushing her hand away at the same time, so it pulled her forward a little bit.
00:34:22.000And then I had someone message me like, are you seriously, like, believing that's what happened?
00:34:32.000And Jim Acosta shouldn't be death-gripping a microphone and refusing to back down.
00:34:36.000But you can actually see, what it looks like happened is, he's holding it, And then when she goes to grab it, he pushes her arm, or like, he tries to put it away, push it away, which pushes her arm and then makes her body move forward, something like that, or his body, I guess, I can't remember exactly what happened.
00:34:51.000But I was like, it could be very simple, in that everybody has a different device, with different resolutions, with different frame rates, and different people were literally seeing different video displays.
00:35:03.000Well, one thing, the Nick Sandman thing was like, if you knew he was just smiling because he was nervous, it looked different than if you thought he was getting in the dude's face.
00:36:27.000It's like, I have to wonder if these journalists have the memory of a goldfish or if it's on purpose.
00:36:31.000Well, it's this whole thing with John Roberts the other day when John Roberts is like, look, Um, can you say now, now he's talking, he's talking to the press secretary and the press secretary is basically she, she does not, she's not, she can't make a decision for Trump.
00:36:51.000She doesn't dictate for the president.
00:36:52.000She can't say like, it's like, does, does Trump, uh, does he condemn it?
00:36:58.000And then she like, she goes, yes, he definitively does.
00:38:44.000But I don't think that going down to a place to say, OK, well, there's going to be these protesters, so let's go down and see if some trouble happens.
00:38:56.000So what they do is, we're going to go to Portland and have a free speech rally or march.
00:39:02.000And it's like, you do know what's going to happen if you go to Portland, right?
00:39:22.000But, the argument I guess is, if you go to a place where you know a bunch of crazy people are going to show up and start fighting you, like at a certain point, what you've got to understand about car accidents is that failure to avoid an accident is actually your fault.
00:39:43.000If there's a witness like, that car was like, down the street, and this guy sat there and didn't move when this guy was coming forward.
00:39:51.000Like, failure to avoid an accident can be your fault.
00:39:54.000But, I guess the big challenge of the Proud Boys is just like, where do you draw the line in saying, I won't go and have my rally because the hecklers veto?
00:40:04.000Look, I don't want to go off on a big thing on the Proud Boys because we're talking about Trump and the journalists and we've got to finish the John Roberts thing.
00:40:13.000We can have a conversation about the morality of going to places like Portland where you know the left will act a fool and the right for you to do it peacefully without having people attack you, for sure.
00:40:23.000But the John Roberts thing was funny because He's trying to get Kayleigh McEnany to issue a Trump quote live in real time with Trump not present, which she can't do.
00:40:56.000I understand you're saying there are people who believe Trump's a racist and he won't denounce this stuff.
00:40:59.000Yeah, but those people weren't gonna vote for Trump anyway.
00:41:02.000And I'd imagine a good portion of them know that the whole argument is BS and are just like, ooh, here's my chance to lie to convince more people that Trump's bad.
00:41:11.000But regular people sitting at home are probably like, what's he talking about?
00:43:32.000And if there happens to be a second or third debate, and who knows at this point, Who knows if there's even going to be a vice presidential debate.
00:43:41.000Lydia earlier was saying that maybe for like a national security reason, you know, that you might not want to put Mike Pence in a situation where he could be exposed.
00:44:39.000Somehow she ends up on a website with, like, a gif of Macho Man Randy Savage doing, like, the peanut butter jelly dance, and there's, like, really crappy Comic Sans writing, and it's, like, Tupac's the best.
00:44:48.000And she's like, that's good enough for me.
00:44:50.000Remember when she, like, claimed to listen to rap that didn't come out when she was in college?
00:45:07.000I mean, like he's a stodgy, normal, professional kind of downtown kind of guy.
00:45:11.000I mean, I think a lot of people know that already because if you remember the, if you remember the first coronavirus briefings, you'd have Trump going on there.
00:45:39.000You know, because and you know, you have this Dr. Birx and they seem to get along.
00:45:44.000And I actually, real, real quick at the coronavirus briefings at the beginning, I remember he was, he was saying, he was calling Dr. Fauci, but then he, he would call Dr. Birx.
00:46:00.000You know, it's like, it's just, you know, just because she's a woman and you're like, no, because they're like, he calls Tony, he says, he refers to Tony, you know, you're just not like watching the whole thing, you're just like watching that five second clip.
00:46:14.000They're just finding something to pretend to be mad about.
00:46:18.000But I just remember that, it was crazy.
00:46:20.000It's, it's, this is why I think this kind of stuff helps Trump, the, you know, the John Roberts thing, the Jim Acosta thing, is because I tell you, man, there's probably a bunch of regular people who are like, there's no way you're actually mad.
00:46:31.000There's no way you're actually mad about this.
00:46:46.000I'm- I'm- I'm- There's gonna be some, like, suburban housewife sitting there with- with her- with her husband.
00:46:51.000He's gonna get back from work and she's gonna be like, Who cares?
00:46:55.000What does that have to do with anything?
00:46:57.000My husband's losing his job because of the pandemic and we need to know what we're gonna do with our kids.
00:47:02.000Well, I will definitely say that when it comes to those dumb little things, especially, especially this Trump didn't, like he's condemned it a billion times, but he didn't, he hasn't done it yet or he won't do it now.
00:47:15.000And you're like, like, do you think he changed his mind?
00:47:30.000You know, they're good people on both sides.
00:47:34.000But I think a lot of... I just did a man in the street interview.
00:47:39.000I went out to California, of all places, and there were people like... When you talk to the Biden people, they're like, well, I'm voting for Biden because I want to get rid of Trump.
00:47:49.000But all of the Trump people were like, Uh, he's being treated unfairly.
00:48:03.000Uh, so I, I think that, I think that the majority of Trump supporters know that this whole, that whole condemning, not condemning thing, it's just BS.
00:48:27.000If the Democrats and the media just took a second to breathe, and they said, how about we nominate someone who's just calm, a populist, moderate, kind of like Trump, but not as bombastic and kind of ill-tempered, they would win.
00:48:42.000And people would be like, look, Donald Trump's talking about that border security, but so is John Jackson.
00:48:48.000John Jackson doesn't have a potty mouth.
00:48:58.000But I've been in Ubers, I've been to restaurants, and I hear it all the time from people who say they're voting for Trump that they wish he wouldn't talk this way.
00:49:27.000I respect the fact that he's He's doing all the things he said he was gonna do, which is one of the reasons why the left is so freaked out.
00:49:59.000You know, do you think he's just doing it for the Nobel prize because he's not going to win it?
00:50:03.000I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, when it comes to the foreign policy stuff, I have a special, uh, like, like rage and triggered that I get because I'm just so sick of the fake anti-war left.
00:50:37.000If you have the choice between the Obama administration redux and the guy who just signed three peace agreements, shut up and take the win.
00:50:44.000And you know what, the way I see it is, if the American people on the left are screaming because Donald Trump is, you know, a Republican, and they're worried about certain social issues, I'm like, yeah, well, maybe you shouldn't have been, you know, ignoring the war machine for as long as possible.
00:50:58.000Because there's going to be a lot of people who are going to vote for Donald Trump specifically because he wants to bring our troops back and he's getting these peace agreements done.
00:51:04.000That is better for the world than you complaining about the orange man being a white supremacist.
00:51:09.000Sorry, that argument holds no water with me.
00:51:12.000Because even if it were true, I'd be like, well, guess what?
00:51:15.000America, if you think that's what you're getting, then maybe you shouldn't have voted for Obama twice.
00:51:19.000I know we mentioned this the other day.
00:51:25.000But it's not so much about I'm blaming them for, you know, the fact that those are the two candidates we have.
00:51:32.000But if you were paying attention to what was being placed in front of you, we wouldn't be in a situation.
00:51:38.000Because Donald Trump, in my opinion, is the incarnation of the anger people felt towards the establishment kicking them to the curb, be it Republican or Democrat.
00:51:47.000That's another reason why Bernie Sanders did really well.
00:51:49.000You had these two incarnations emerging, Sanders the populist left, Trump the populist right, and Bernie Sanders is a pushover.
00:53:28.000It's like, they came here and they knew that they were going to be in these, uh, You know, in these detention centers, like, they're like, if they were gonna get caught, I mean, it's kind of their fault, right?
00:53:39.000But also, you know... Oh, and can we talk about the Melania thing real quick?
00:55:01.000Look, I understand why you're mad at Trump, but Donald, I understand why, because he says things and he makes crude jokes and comments and he's off the cuff.
00:55:09.000But the rest of like, look, Don Jr., he can be a bombastic personality.
00:55:14.000But he's not part of the administration.
00:55:22.000I think that is, there's two things that happened recently that really do show you the anger and mean-spirited nature these people have is not legitimate.
00:55:33.000The first is the obvious, the entire time bashing Melania and bashing Ivanka, Melania, of all of the people involved, does not deserve any of this.
00:55:43.000I understand Ivanka advises Donald and she's involved.
00:55:46.000Melania is the first lady, but what has she done?
00:55:49.000Is she on camera attacking people and screaming?
00:58:20.000But I can sit in the right wing pub as a liberal and they'll buy me a beer.
00:58:25.000And they'll laugh and be like, oh, man, you're so wrong about these policies, man.
00:58:28.000But, you know, getting along is more important.
00:58:30.000You know, that's a good point, because, you know, on my personal Facebook, you know, I have a whole bunch of friends that have no idea what I do.
00:58:39.000That you're secretly a white, you support a white supremacist president, right?
00:58:43.000And look, they have their views, whether they're misguided or just very triggered.
01:01:08.000I think, like, there's a lot of self-loathing going on on the Democrats' side since the WikiLeaks came out with Hillary kind of upending Bernie and then Do these people smoke pot?
01:02:53.000Can you just imagine... I was talking to my dad about the... I was like, what would have happened if social media existed during the Vietnam War?
01:04:23.000I've had conversations with him on several occasions.
01:04:27.000But even like since I was on Rogan, I've talked to him periodically.
01:04:30.000And the reason why I think that he's not a good person is that what he built and what is currently happening in his name is a machine that generates hate.
01:04:53.000Like, the craziest thing to me, when you see these journalists, all of a sudden, there's this one dude who was making fun of me.
01:05:00.000A guy I've never said a bad word about.
01:05:02.000And I DM'd him, because I know I'm like, I don't understand, like, because he's clearly a progressive, and I was like, why were you insulting me in this way?
01:05:08.000I've never said a mean thing about you, like, I'm confused.
01:05:13.000It's because when you say, this person is a dumb piece of garbage, what a moron, lolol, you get retweets, you get likes.
01:05:22.000So it creates a whole, it creates a whole genre, the reply guy.
01:05:26.000There are people who make six figures, and I mean it, they make six figures, because what they do is they keep refreshing Trump's Twitter feed until Trump tweets something, and Trump will say something like, fake news, exclamation point.
01:05:37.000And they'll comment, the only thing fake about the news right now is the fact that your hair is on it when they talk about you.
01:05:43.000And then they get a thousand retweets and likes, and then they go, hey, thanks for the support, here's my PayPal.
01:05:55.000Facebook, if you post something like, this person's a dick, people on Facebook aren't gonna hit share.
01:06:01.000They're gonna be like, well that's weird.
01:06:03.000On Twitter though, you screen grab someone's picture, you say what an ugly moron, and then it gets shared like crazy, and retweeted, and everyone's piling on and laughing.
01:06:10.000Twitter is literally two giant mobs that are running around smashing windows and screaming at the top of their lungs, non-stop, and it's escalating and getting crazier.
01:06:22.000To the benefit of the Republicans, Twitter bans them.
01:06:26.000Not to the Republican who gets banned.
01:06:29.000But because Twitter is extremely strict, only the most clean-cut and respected-looking individuals stay on Twitter.
01:06:38.000There are even respectable and normal conservatives who get banned.
01:06:43.000So what you get is you have two groups, and there's the left and there's the right, and then you have wingnut crazy leftists and you have wingnut crazy right-wingers.
01:07:45.000So I think the fact that these social media companies are biased is actually constraining the right in a good way while it's bad for the individual and people shouldn't be getting banned this way.
01:07:55.000As a collective, they're actually looking cleaner and more respectable than the left.
01:07:59.000I think that's why many liberals are like, I'm a conservative now and then jumping over
01:08:03.000because they see these conservatives that are like normal looking, clean cut, respectable,
01:08:08.000and they see a left that's off the rails, is spitting, you know,
01:08:12.000vile and vitriolic garbage at Melania and at regular people.
01:08:16.000You know, I really hate some of these users on Twitter that it's, they're, it's like you said,
01:08:26.000you know, they, they wait for Trump to say something like they, they, they basically.
01:09:02.000Just think about how, I have to imagine these people, after like the day is done, and they're looking at their bank accounts, they start crying, you know?
01:09:12.000Could you imagine like, in a hundred years, there's like an encyclopedia, Wikipedia, whatever, or like Neuralink Knowledge Network, and then people are like, ah yes, Brooklyn Dead, he's famous for constantly complaining to President Trump.
01:09:26.000He never contributed anything of substance other than generic complaints about Trump's general behavior.
01:10:52.000In their mind, they're walking up to him and going like, hey man, F you Trump!
01:10:57.000Which you're allowed to do, by all means.
01:10:59.000But in reality, you're walking up to a brick wall with a picture of Trump's face on it, and you're screaming and you're all laughing and high-fiving each other.
01:11:04.000Meanwhile, the president's doing whatever.
01:11:09.000I don't think he can find work anymore.
01:11:11.000Because I remember there was a couple people I talked to who had gone down this road.
01:11:15.000And I was like, They're like, Hey man, I'm really looking for work and wondering like, you know, you're doing your, your companies are doing well.
01:12:03.000There's like a waterfall on one side and like a Category 5 rapid.
01:12:06.000It's gonna be bumpy, but like one's... You know what, man?
01:12:09.000For those brief seconds as Biden gets elected, I'm gonna be sitting in the back of that raft while everyone's screaming, and I'm gonna crack that beer and be like, here we go, baby.
01:12:17.000If Biden wins, it will be so bad for four years.
01:12:21.000Everyone in the country, the people that hated Trump, that didn't want to vote for Biden but did it anyway, are gonna hate him so much that anyone can win in 2024.
01:12:36.000I don't necessarily mean like for the Republic or or Democracy I'm talking about just like how dumb people are to me actually voting for Joe Biden.
01:12:46.000That's why I would laugh But yeah, and and I think ultimately it'll be one of those situations where it's like well We look back on it and laugh and that's true but what happens to The Washington Post.
01:13:01.000Look what happened with the Washington Post, where they basically built an entire journalistic team to investigate Trump.
01:13:21.000But he did a segment, a skit, where it was like, it's a newsroom and they're sitting around and it's election night and they're like, Biden-Harris!
01:14:15.000For people who don't know, it's because there was originally two guys called the Krasenstein brothers who would reply to Trump all the time and they got banned.
01:14:22.000And now... Because they were manipulating the numbers of their followers apparently.
01:16:52.000It's like, I hire this guy to mow my lawn.
01:16:54.000I come out an hour later, my neighbor's lawn is mowed, and then his buddy walks over and goes, whoa, good job, here's an award, and high-fives him.
01:19:12.000And he pushed so much of the party to the left.
01:19:16.000And so many people were like, well, you know, Hillary stole the election from Bernie, which I don't quite believe, or the DNC, and that's why a lot of people... I mean, they cheated, man.
01:19:25.000They were giving questions in advance.
01:19:46.000I'm sure, okay, he won a few, but he didn't, you know, overall.
01:19:50.000But then, you have so many people coming in that were on the left, they were like, they had all these, they were co-opting a lot of Bernie's ideas.
01:20:00.000And now you're spreading everything out.
01:20:03.000You have 25, 26 people that have all these, well, I like this thing about Bernie, but I don't like this.
01:20:08.000I like this about Bernie, but I don't like this.
01:20:41.000And ultimately Bernie just gave in to the establishment and then started spewing whatever garbage rhetoric his, you know, the talking points were given to him.
01:20:49.000What I think happened, because I experienced this when I worked for the ABC News Univision company, the marketing people were seeing skewed data on social media from identitarianism and believing it represented America when in fact it just represented angry people.
01:21:04.000But so what happened was they were like... I was actually told this.
01:21:08.000Moms share the most when they're... Moms share the most and they share the most when they're angry.
01:21:51.000When he said, if you're white, you don't know what it's like to be poor?
01:21:54.000You don't know what it's like to live in a ghetto?
01:21:56.000That was, like, a shocking moment for me because, like, Bernie Sanders all of a sudden betraying the working class and the Rust Belt who are predominantly white?
01:22:23.000You know, and then and that's how we get to Joe Biden, because every everybody's everybody seems so crazy.
01:22:30.000You have Julian Castro saying, oh, we're going to decriminalize the border when you have Bernie Sanders at a town hall saying, we're We can't let everybody in, that's crazy.
01:23:45.000I was just totally waiting for that to happen because when he said, oh, well, you know, I have my, he also said, I have my own Green New Deal.
01:29:46.000The coronavirus is a serious problem and, you know, uh, and then people are going to be sitting at their homes just, like, staring at the screen with their eyes are going to be, like, wide open, just like, I have no idea what's happening right now.
01:31:21.000One, that he's going to do all these executive actions and hopefully they will be challenged.
01:31:29.000You know, like when Kamala Harris, Kamala, sorry, I don't want to be that person.
01:31:37.000When they were saying that, you know, that she would do executive actions on guns and executive actions on Medicare, like, oh, I'm going to give Congress 100 days.
01:31:48.000I don't think the Senate's going anywhere.
01:31:50.000I think that the Republicans are going to keep the Senate.
01:31:52.000So there's going to be checks and balances, at least at least for the first two years.
01:31:59.000I don't think that if Biden is elected, it is going to be Wow.
01:32:05.000as devastating as some Republicans would think, just because we have that firewall in the Senate.
01:32:11.000And who knows, we might even, we could gain a seat in the Senate.
01:32:27.000Sure, but doesn't a part of you just kind of wish for it to be true so that you can take the black paint under your eyes and rip your sleeves off and then join the resistance and go underground and fight back against the Terminators?
01:34:06.000But if, if this November suddenly the, you know, the House and the Senate are run by Democrats and suddenly these people like Joe Manchin, uh, who's, you know, like a big, uh, a big energy guy, he decides to flip and change his mind.
01:35:35.000And then all of a sudden people freeze to death and people starve.
01:35:38.000Like they don't realize the demand for this stuff isn't because someone's spinning around in donuts in their Lambo, like just burning off You know, hundreds of gallons of petroleum.
01:35:48.000It's because there's a demand for food production and heating people's homes.
01:35:51.000Dude, I was just looking around the room at how much plastic we have in here.
01:37:28.000One of the things with plastic, if you look at Boyan Slat, he's out in the Pacific recovering the Pacific gyre, the great Pacific garbage patch.
01:37:36.000He's got like building these long strands of thread that can like capture plastic and then they're bringing it back to shore.
01:37:44.000And you can take mushrooms, there's different, like Pestalopsis microspora, I think is one type of mushroom that'll break down plastic into sugar.
01:37:51.000And then you can use, you can eat that sugar, or you can alloy that sugar with things like graphene to create like building materials.
01:37:56.000When we were in South America, we were going to make 3D printing filament with it and then 3D print like tubes and joints and make giant domed housing with the recovered plastic.
01:38:07.000You just have to retrofit our economy.
01:38:08.000I just think the Green New Deal is, you know, it's like some seventh graders were like, the teacher said, I want you for your school project to talk about climate change and why it's bad.
01:38:20.000For my school project, I call it the Green New Deal.
01:38:24.000Like the New Deal, it would give everyone a job.
01:38:27.000Everyone would have free health because then no one would ever be sick.
01:39:16.000But the actual legislation, they worked really hard on that.
01:39:23.000But that FAQ, they put out an FAQ that was basically, when you've heard all the things like, oh, they want to get rid of airplanes, and cow farts, and all these things, which they're not in the legislation.
01:39:39.000Getting rid of airplanes is not part of that.
01:39:41.000You think I'm joking about the seven-year-old thing?
01:41:12.000I think technological advancement and reducing the emissions from airplanes has been something that many of these companies have been working on.
01:42:11.000And, you know, what happens to our, our trucking, you know, like getting, uh, you know, stuff, products from farms, fruits and vegetables and, and meat.
01:42:34.000But then we're supposed to cut down all the wood to heat our homes, which that's even worse, right?
01:42:38.000That's why I said Greta Thunberg called for 20 million people to die.
01:42:42.000I think Adam had some scientists on this show, on Atomcast IRL, and they were talking about giant solar arrays that they're going to have above cities, and they might be geostationary, and then they beam power down to the cities.
01:44:19.000This reminds me of that movie, I think it's called Deep Impact.
01:44:23.000Where they send a bunch of miners in a drill to an asteroid and there was like this famous Like a bit of trivia from the movie where apparently Ben Affleck asked the director.
01:44:32.000Well, that's Armageddon Armageddon Yeah, wouldn't it be easier to train a bunch of astronauts to use a drill than to train a bunch of drillers to become astronauts?
01:47:07.000He, I wanted to be Jason Lee in Mallrats.
01:47:10.000Jason Lee was the first pro skater to do a 360 flip in a line for a pro skater segment, part, we call them parts.
01:47:18.000So, so it was really interesting when like he's this famous celebrity and like all the skaters are like, wow, Wow, Jason Lee, like, you know, he's a skateboarder.
01:47:25.000He co-founded Stereo Skateboards, I guess.
01:47:28.000Then all of a sudden he's like this movie star.
01:48:28.000Like, I started watching the first episode and I was like, why do I care about this?
01:48:32.000Like, did people just pretend to like it because someone said so?
01:48:35.000I think because it was just kind of the timing, you know, it was right near the beginning of the lockdowns and everything and people were just like, wow, this is different.
01:50:19.000Lower CO2 emissions is seeing an increase in global temperature due to low albido in the atmosphere, aka not enough crap in the air to reflect the sun's rays, but CO2 is the issue.
01:50:30.000I don't know anything about any of that stuff.
01:50:32.000And I keep reading that CO2 is good because it'll make the trees grow more, but that's the thing.
01:52:23.000So they keep screaming in Trump's face they've not asked Biden once after he received an endorsement from the most prominent white nationalist probably in the world.
01:52:33.000But thanks for that super chat and yes I feel your pain.
01:52:37.000All right Rambo Joe says just turned 19 a couple months ago graduated from college back in May.
01:52:41.000I'm going to be a first-time voter and wanted to thank you for providing a place for dumb kids like me to get the truth when the mainstream is full of lies.
01:53:08.000Maria Whitmer said, gonna use you for shameless girlfriend points and ask for a shout out to my BF, Steven, who introduced me to your vids.
01:53:24.000Kaleem Mims says, when Batman was first created, the original creator said that Batman is supposed to kill criminals, otherwise he would fail as a hero.
01:53:31.000He would swing from roofs and break criminals' necks when criminals poke their heads out of windows.
01:53:39.000First of all, I'm glad we talked about Batman.
01:53:41.000It's very important to who I am as a person.
01:53:46.000But yeah, there's actually, there's one comic I remember where these people are in an experiment and they're grown to be like gigantic monsters.
01:53:54.000And Batman gets in a plane and shoots at them.
01:53:57.000And not with rubber bullets, mind you.
01:54:20.000The alternate reality where Joker... Long story, Sharks, I haven't actually... I haven't read the comics for sure, but it's in Injustice 2, where basically Joker drugs Superman, detonates a nuke or something, kills Lois Lane, and then Superman blames Batman because Batman would not stop the Joker.
01:54:39.000He just kept locking him up, and Joker kept getting out.
01:54:42.000Then finally, Superman, like, rips the heart of Joker out, and Joker is laughing as it happens because he's defeated Superman.
01:54:49.000And then Superman becomes a tyrannical dictator who thinks only he can stop.
01:54:53.000And then he goes nuts, starts executing everybody.
01:54:55.000It's cool how policies around, like, obscenity and, like, family-friendly behavior influenced the political narrative, in a sense, you know?
01:55:04.000Batman won't kill the Joker, then the Joker does these atrocities, you know?
01:55:07.000There's a great Dunkey video, video game Dunkey video, about injustice, which I suggest you check out.
01:55:13.000So, and it'll clearly explain exactly what Tim's talking about.
01:56:04.000But they're saying that you can't question the legitimacy of the election, you know, after November 3rd or whatever, as if I'm going to ignore lawsuits and discrepancies.
01:57:04.000Mason Perry says, in regards to concentration camps and cages, despite Obama's rhetoric, whether you attribute it to legal injunctions, new transparency, or Trump's character, illegal immigrants have been treated better by Trump than Obama.
01:58:07.000There was an interview done, published by Vox.com, V-O-X, the progressive site, where they asked one of the migrants coming in the caravan why they were coming to America, and they said, I miss Buffalo Wild Wings.
01:59:06.000But they think these people coming from Honduras, going through Mexico, are walking through the desert.
01:59:12.000Yeah, that they're going from one war zone into another war zone.
01:59:15.000And I'm not saying that Mexico is like the safest country in the world, which it is not, but it's not like the entire country is going to hurt somebody coming from Guatemala.
01:59:27.000Like, there's still opportunities there.
01:59:29.000And if they apply for asylum there, They're fine.
02:00:16.000What they want to happen is they want, you know, little kids with their dads wandering
02:00:21.000through the desert, falling in ditches and then losing their lives.
02:00:23.000When what these people don't realize is that the reason these people are in detention centers
02:00:28.000is because they're wandering through miles of open desert, and many of them are dying and getting sick.
02:00:34.000And then they blame the border patrol when they rescue someone who is sick, bring them to a facility, and then they give them medical treatment, but the person still dies.
02:00:55.000And if they stopped these individuals and put them in a truck and brought them to a facility and gave them medical attention and they still died, they would get blamed for it as well.
02:01:04.000They're offering us no solutions at all.
02:02:56.000Someone made a video, and it's a bunch of clips of Trump, and they put an accordion in between his hands, so when he's talking it's like... And it's so well done, too.
02:03:04.000It's not just from the side, but there's the one where he's saying, we have pizzas and we have burgers, and he's doing it from the side, and it still looks good.
02:03:12.000Whoever made that, that's not easy to do, so props to you.
02:05:00.000There's just all sorts of goods with this guy.
02:05:04.000I want him to get our troops out of the Middle East, particularly, you know, Afghanistan and Iraq, or at least down to levels where we're in more of an advisory and specialist role.
02:05:15.000With Russia, we need that more than ever.
02:05:17.000With the Chinese CCP, we need to be allied with Russia.
02:05:20.000Can I make a quick plea to Republican voters?
02:05:24.000If you're in a blue state and you think, you know, I would vote, but Trump's not going to win California.
02:06:54.000Because what people don't realize is that even though it's D plus 28 in her district, meaning it's Democrat, they all aren't voting.
02:07:04.000The problem is neither are Republicans.
02:07:06.000If every single Republican went out and voted, she'd lose.
02:07:10.000It's interesting because every vote is kind of like a grain of sand and it can feel so insignificant.
02:07:14.000But when you have power like the internet video, the ability to rally and connect and decide as a group, you can create so much momentum and force.
02:07:25.000And you know, look, I encourage everybody to vote.
02:07:32.000You don't get to do that in every country.
02:07:35.000And the fact that voter turnout is so low in just about every election, and even local elections, you really need... My state senator is a Democratic Socialist, and I couldn't do anything about it.
02:10:14.000Remember how you felt when they came out of fields and you're like, and, and it's like, oh, and then, and then he always, he always has, he always ends with the crescendo.
02:10:23.000He always tries to, where he's like, you know, this is America.
02:10:29.000We, we can do, we, we've never been able to not do anything.
02:10:34.000If we do it together, and God bless you and protect our troops.
02:12:08.000Because if you remember Biden, he was the first to talk.
02:12:14.000He was the first to try and attack Kamala and he was he was talking about like, uh, look it up on Google, you know a thousand people like a thousand cases like he and you're like Oh Joe you he doesn't know what he was talking about.
02:12:28.000He didn't even understand it I think somebody just kind of wrote that thing for him But then Tulsi comes in and just totally annihilated because she knew exactly what she needed to say and and at the time I was like She's gonna be Biden's vice president.
02:12:46.000Well, I thought that maybe if she was embraced by a bigger candidate like Bernie or Biden, that people would come to realize that they were wrong about her as far as the whole Bashar al-Assad stuff.
02:13:02.000You know what's really amazing about Tulsi Gabbard's story arc?
02:13:06.000is that she was like a golden child of the DNC until she endorsed Bernie Sanders instead of Hillary.
02:13:11.000And then look how easily the establishment turned her into a villain.
02:15:15.000He would have maybe brought in Tulsi as his running mate.
02:15:20.000But no, you know, like let the Democrats just totally kill themselves over these terrible debates because none of them were any, they weren't substantive at all.
02:15:30.000I can't, I can't, I can't imagine Biden winning.
02:15:34.000I see all the polls and I'm just like, they're huge for him.
02:15:38.000But, like, there's just so much hatred against Trump.
02:16:05.000It's like the swing is like 2, 20, 7, 3, plus 2.
02:16:09.000How could they all be so insanely different?
02:16:12.000Because when you look at the makeup of the polls, when you see who they're talking to, And listen, listen, the RCP in 2016 average, all the polls had Hillary within plus three.
02:16:27.000They were all like Hillary plus three, plus three, plus three across the board.
02:16:30.000And then Rasmussen had Hillary plus two, which was the closest.
02:16:34.000Today, the Trump favorability is like, everything's random.
02:16:38.000It's like they may have well just started throwing, they have a calendar with like a list of numbers and they're closing their eyes and throwing darts.
02:16:44.000And they'd be like, we have Trump minus 10 today.
02:16:46.000And then ABC is like, ooh, we got minus 20.
02:17:09.000And now they're trying to make up for it, and now they're trying to say, well, we didn't do this, so let's try this, and maybe it'll be more accurate.
02:18:56.000But, you know, the Democrats are definitely running that whole, you need to vote by mail and, you know, get your family to vote and have a plan and... Let me tell you.
02:19:07.000I think if I was going to make a bet with cash money, it'd be for Trump.
02:19:12.000Because the odds for Biden, just like the odds for Hillary, it's not even worth the money.
02:19:18.000You put down a buck, you can win a quarter?
02:20:05.000like it's like fifty two forty eight is the final vote is that real or is that
02:20:10.000just because people using those very acting machine i think it's media
02:20:13.000polarization key key markets are getting inundated with uh...
02:20:17.000like the the way the way explain people as if you're from chicago you understand
02:20:20.000this Growing up in Chicago, we had one, like, rock radio station that was prominent, and it played the same Stone Temple Pilots song every day.
02:20:28.000It was like, you're gonna get Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, and that was it.
02:20:33.000And I remember in, like, the mid-2000s, they would still play songs from the 90s, and I'm like, is this an oldies station now?
02:20:41.000So, the reason I bring this up is, basically, they're like, it makes money, Roll with it.
02:20:46.000So what happens is media markets start emerging.
02:20:49.000And so now we're in the worst part of it where, like, this is my favorite.
02:20:53.000After the debate, CNN ran an article saying Fox News airs pro-Trump propaganda after debates.
02:21:19.000So what's happening is, you're getting the cities targeted, and the rural areas targeted, and it's creating, like, this very, you know, two big forces that are pushing into each other.
02:21:29.000So you think, I mean, you've seen how they build machines that will literally flip a vote 51-49.
02:21:34.000A guy testified in Congress in, I think it was Florida.
02:21:38.000Because the voting, they just hacked the voting machines.
02:21:39.000Have they been doing that since, like, 2000?
02:21:41.000I'm kind of, like, asking you the same question again.
02:22:09.000We have so many different polls from so many different polling institutions, universities showing The Democrats and the Republicans ideologies and their shifts left and right and that's where we are.
02:22:19.000The latest Pew ideological chart shows the Democrats have moved ridiculously far left and the Republicans have moved a little bit to the right.
