In this episode, we discuss the surge in federal agents deployed to cities across the country, including Chicago, Kansas City, and Portland, Oregon. We also talk about the recent shooting of a woman in Portland and the reaction of the mayor of Chicago to it. Finally, we get into the crazy stuff going on in the streets of St. Louis and Portland.
00:00:00.000Transcribed by https://otter.ai Apparently this was announced quite some time ago.
00:00:21.000They were deploying federal officers into Kansas City.
00:00:24.000They're saying, I guess it's not related to what's going on in Portland, but they're going to be sending a surge of federal law enforcement into a variety of cities, starting with Chicago.
00:00:40.000And of course, the mayor's freaking out, but as most of you know, Adam and I are from Chicago, and I think we both have the opinion of good.
00:00:48.000Yeah, we both know Chicago, and they need... I mean, we pay attention to what's going on pretty much everywhere, but... We've both passively talked about, that one time we got shot at.
00:02:23.000The libertarian two-way people are sitting back at home watching, you know, playing video games and like eating pizza or something.
00:02:28.000When the secret police actually show up, I'm sure they'll be concerned about it, but as long as you are seeking out conflict, why would anyone be like, yes, I will help you?
00:02:38.000No, they're gonna be like, stop doing that.
00:02:40.000It's almost like the Antifa people in Portland are putting their hand on the fire, and when they get burned, they complain the fire's attacking them, and you're like, but the fire is there, and you are here, and if you don't do that, you won't get burned.
00:02:55.000They're like, well, I have a right to touch the top of the stove.
00:03:15.000They're standing, they're taking a picture of their hand burned like, the stove just burned me out of, no, it's like, whoa, hold on, hold on.
00:03:56.000The guns were inoperable and they reassembled them to make it seem like they were actually threatening legit deadly force when they weren't.
00:04:04.000Yeah, they reassembled it and then test fired it and said, see, it is an operable gun.
00:04:24.000So that it couldn't, you know, be used because the guy didn't actually want to hurt anybody.
00:04:29.000But they said apparently in their filings that it was ready and capable of lethal force, which was a lie.
00:04:35.000Welcome to the morality policing world where they will tamper with evidence to lock you up.
00:04:41.000You know, the AG of Missouri is basically saying, I'm gonna get these charges dismissed.
00:04:46.000The governor is saying, I'm gonna pardon it.
00:04:48.000Yeah, great, it's all well and good for now.
00:04:50.000But eventually, these lunatic morality police and intersectionalists will be in higher positions of government, and then they won't pardon it, and they will tamper with evidence, and they will lock you in the gulag.
00:05:03.000Welcome to this new horrifying reality.
00:05:07.000And we'll talk about some cancel culture stuff, because we got something interesting.
00:05:10.000Cato says 62% of people, a new poll, are scared of sharing their political opinions.
00:05:15.000Well, that's not really surprising at all, is it?
00:05:19.000It's not really surprising, that's all I'm going to say.
00:05:21.000But it also, you know, we don't know what the breakdown is of left versus right, but part of me thinks, this is just me, the left is not afraid to talk about their opinions.
00:06:38.000It was like a piece of corrugated steel that someone took red spray paint and wrote Biden 2020 on it on the side of some like... It was wonderful.
00:07:10.000So they could technically just be like, well, you know, now, like two days before we, we're going to announce finally, actually, we're not going to run Biden.
00:07:19.000We're going to switch and run to someone else.
00:07:22.000You know, if something does happen, I hope it's really cool, like, you know, Biden is inside giving a speech, and then, like, some crazy dude jumps on the rafters and yells, six emperor tyrannists, but then, like, takes aim at, like, a Ugandan prime minister who was speaking with Biden, and Biden jumps in the way, and everyone's like, no, Biden!
00:07:39.000He's, like, sacrificed himself to save the Ugandan prime minister!
00:07:42.000I don't know if Uganda has a prime minister, I have no idea.
00:07:44.000But like, you know, at least it's 2020, man.
00:08:39.000Really share because I feel a lot of people are coming to me saying, hey, you know, I was talking to my friend and we started arguing with another person and because of your show we were able to be knowledgeable about what this person was misinformed about and help them talk about it.
00:08:59.000Even if they didn't change their mind, I'm not trying to change anyone's mind, but I want everyone to at least understand what's going on, and we try to have critical thinking and talk about what's happening.
00:09:18.000But I think what you get here is that it's like moderate people talking about their political opinions about what's going on right now, the same as literally anyone else.
00:09:26.000And a lot of former liberals, liberals and moderates are scared to speak up.
00:09:32.000So I think one reason why the show, like the show has been growing rapidly is because there's a lot of people who are scared to speak up and are not being represented.
00:09:40.000And so, you know, many people who aren't maybe overtly conservative, definitely not far left.
00:09:44.000And so, you know, this is what you get.
00:09:46.000I think I think this is our voice is kind of important because the process of just talking about these ideas is so important.
00:09:52.000I think the free free market of ideas and actually discussing these ideas that apparently nobody really talks about is like pivotal.
00:09:59.000I think that really kind of helps people because they don't hear a lot of that conversation.
00:10:03.000Yeah we're going to get into that later actually.
00:10:04.000That's that's I don't really know about much about that article that you pulled up but it's I'm interested to find out about it.
00:10:09.000Yeah, so we bring this up not because we're just trying to brag about how awesome we are, but literally because we have this poll from the Cato Institute we're going to get into later about how people are scared to speak up.
00:10:33.000But let's talk first about Donald Trump's Surge!
00:10:38.000The Daily Mail says Trump orders immediate surge of hundreds of feds into Chicago, calling it a violence-scarred disaster, then threatens to order them into other Democratic-controlled cities, including Detroit and Philadelphia, over mayor's objections.
00:10:53.000Well, we do have this other story about a dozen-plus mayors saying no and demanding a withdrawal of federal forces.
00:11:01.000But at least in the context of this story, that's basically it.
00:12:32.000I've actually talked about this at length with many friends of mine.
00:12:37.000When you talk to me right now, you hear the tones that I'm giving you, right?
00:12:42.000And a lot of the issue is the people on the left are reading those jokes, I say in quotes, in their perspective, the way that they're feeling, the way that they're insecure, their place of zero confidence.
00:13:00.000So the way they're reading it is a direct, like, attack, and they add those, the nuance of anger and, you know, the feeling that they have, the emotional outbreak to those jokes, making those jokes a real thing in their head.
00:13:57.000Because the media doesn't cover this kind of stuff.
00:14:01.000But I posted earlier, so for those of you who didn't hear, there's this New York Times story that a pawn shop was torched during the riots and they just found the corpse of a guy who was killed inside.
00:14:19.000And this is a really horrific way to be burned alive in a riot.
00:14:23.000I wonder if people were, you know, flyering, where's, you know, this man, where's our loved one, where's our brother, our father, whoever this guy is.
00:14:37.000I posted that, and in line with what we were just talking about, with this inability to process complex information, somebody responded with, to me, saying that I basically hated Black Lives Matter and supported police brutality.
00:14:51.000And I was like, how did you get that out of me?
00:14:55.000It was a screenshot of the New York Times, and I wrote, playing for keeps.
00:15:42.000Well, that's the gist of that story, that they found a body burnt to death in the rubble, and that's the thing that nightmares are made of, man.
00:16:13.000Okay, but if you want to be fair and claim that the defund the police actions stem from all of that Absolutely that I think that's of course fair because that it spawned it started from the riots, you know over over George Floyd, you know right, and I think So they cleared out the New York Chazz earlier today?
00:16:54.000Well, so here's what I said, you know, with my experience from Occupy, the moment you announce you're occupying something, homeless people rush over.
00:17:10.000But the question I had earlier was, When the protesters demanded a defunding of the police across this country, what is the end result been?
00:17:27.000It's specifically shootings and murders, because actually a lot of crime is going down.
00:17:31.000Yeah, like petty theft and violent crime is down on the whole, but shootings and murder is way, way up, like hundreds of percentage points.
00:17:38.000I would much prefer people getting, like, thieves, like, running amok than people dying everywhere.
00:17:44.000I can explain something very simply, though.
00:17:47.000One of the things I learned is really fascinating about crime rates throughout the world has to do with cell phone technology.
00:17:54.000So when I was in Sweden a couple years ago talking about their murder rate going up, the one thing everyone liked to claim is that it's only gone up a very little bit.
00:18:03.000And, you know, violent- well, violent crime is going down across- lethal crime is going down across the board.
00:18:09.000We're only seeing a small uptick and it's all- you know, ultimately, you know, things are- things are getting better.
00:18:41.000So what we're seeing now in New York and all these other places, they're saying violent crime's actually going down, but murders and shootings are going up.
00:18:48.000What that means is what probably would have been a mugging has become a murder.
00:18:52.000Before the defunding of the police, when the guns were being taken off the streets, the illegal ones, that guy would probably rob someone with a punch to the face.
00:18:59.000Now that he has a weapon, he just puts a bullet through his heart.
00:22:00.000Here we have this story from Shadowproof.
00:22:02.000Shadowproof is run by... There's some journalists that I've known about for a long time, I've followed.
00:22:08.000It's not like a very high-profile publication, it's very left-leaning, but that's less relevant, other than I know some of the journalists who do this, and I believe, while they may be biased, they're telling the truth.
00:22:18.000Philadelphia threatens protest encampment with eviction, but still has no plan for unhoused residents.
00:22:22.000You can see where their bias comes in.
00:22:24.000What they say is, the encampment formed June 10th to provide shelter, social support, and resources to Philadelphia's unhoused residents, many of whom have been denied access to housing and COVID-protection hotels, but its existence remains threatened by the city, which is determined to remove hundreds of unhoused people to prioritize the needs of the baseball field upon which the encampment has encroached.
00:25:00.000But then you start to, you know, experience what people think of you.
00:25:03.000And I was surprised to learn they conflate these things.
00:25:06.000So when I ended up working for this homeless shelter, as it turns out, most of these people were like, I would not like to be in that homeless shelter, thank you very much, bye bye.
00:25:15.000And they want to be out in the streets.
00:25:17.000So how you solve that problem, I don't know.
00:25:19.000The point is, I'm bringing this up just to show you that whatever's been going on since the start of these protests, it's not over.
00:25:25.000On July 10th, Utah governor declares state of emergency due to civil unrest.
00:28:37.000This is another really good example of one of, I think, the problems we face in this country.
00:28:42.000Trump will see something in the news, he'll respond to it, and then they'll reverse their position.
00:28:47.000So like, the news will say something like, we've got a serious crime problem throughout this nation and something needs to be done about it, where's the president?
00:28:55.000Then Trump will come out the next day and be like, the violence across this country is terrible, everybody agrees, we're gonna do something about it.
00:29:42.000I've been your friend, and we've had many conversations of what you've been through over these past, you know, eight years of knowing you.
00:29:49.000One of my favorite stories was when, and I think we mentioned this before, when Ghost in the Shell, the movie, came out with Scarlett Johansson.
00:29:55.000And I'm in a meeting, and they're like, can you believe that they're, like, hiring a white actress to play, you know, the major in this film?
00:30:02.000That's, like, Motoko Kasanagi, I think is the name of the character in the anime.
00:30:06.000And I was like, actually, I'm a fan, and I think that actually makes sense.
00:30:11.000Like, the theme of the show is, like, you can change bodies.
00:30:14.000I thought they would have loved this, because it's transhumanism.
00:30:18.000So, like, in this universe of Ghost in the Shell, theoretically, you could be, like, born a dude and then transfer into a prosthetic female body.
00:30:24.000Instead, they're like, mm, no, racism.
00:30:26.000And I'm like, but I'm telling you, I know this show.
00:32:09.000I don't know if I misspoke, but the idea is...
00:32:12.000The media will say, Black Lives Matter, and they'll pull up all these left-wing activists, and then someone like Beverlyn has to be like, you know, I have a voice that needs to be heard, and they have to fight really hard, and the media barely gives them attention.
00:32:38.000Growing up in Chicago, I mentioned this earlier on one of my other segments, if I was leaving my house and I saw these CBP dudes in camo with rifles on the street corner, you know what I would do?
00:32:52.000I'd like text a friend and be like, yo, what's up with these dudes?
00:32:54.000Yeah, they're here because it's like some law enforcement thing.
00:33:00.000It's funny because I realized one thing.
00:33:03.000The left seems to think that libertarians, what be it left-wing or right-wing, I mean like, you know, just basically freedom-loving people, are supposed to believe that law enforcement existing in your presence is a violation of your rights.
00:33:17.000When the camo dudes kick my door in and then say, or I got one, when the government arrests me for legally protecting my home in the face of a large group of people who are breaking onto my private property, That's oppression from a secret police state or something.
00:33:33.000When a bunch of dudes are standing on a corner, and they're armed, and they're like, we're cops, and you're like, okay, and they say, have a good day, sir.
00:33:42.000The existence of law enforcement is not a violation of your rights.
00:33:45.000Or to get more specific with it, when those same officers are inside a barricaded federal courthouse, and you start lobbying for Fireworks at them, commercial grade mortar shells at the office and they see you and follow you and then detain you for questioning.
00:34:02.000Dude, you know what this reminds me of?
00:34:05.000Have you seen that meme where it's a woman and she's wearing a sweater that says like feminist and she's shoveling feces over a wall that says the internet and the human waste is opinions and she's like grinning and doing it and the next panel is they throw it back and she goes, help misogyny!
00:34:24.000You show up to a federal courthouse and you start setting fires and attacking and breaking the barricades and then the cops come out and they're like, leave.
00:34:31.000And you go, help, help, I'm being repressed.
00:35:25.000It's a guy I know from my neighborhood.
00:35:27.000And he was like, you don't even care about police brutality, man.
00:35:30.000All you do is just right wing grift, blah, blah, blah.
00:35:33.000And I responded with like, He said, like, you never talk about police brutality, and I was like, I've dedicated countless hours to calling out with, like, George Floyd.
00:35:43.000And then he was like, no, all you ever do is talk about, you know, the left, blah, blah, blah.
00:35:48.000And then all of a sudden, a bunch of people started posting my videos.
00:35:50.000Because I'm not going to go, I don't know, I do three hours per day, four hours.
00:35:55.000So there's a whole bunch of videos being posted.
00:35:58.000And I'm like, I wonder what I did say about this, and I click it, and it's me going like, this is disgusting, what this officer did, he deserves prison, and I'm like, why is this guy yelling at me?
00:36:15.000They're like, anything Trump does must be bad.
00:36:17.000They don't think about what's actually happening.
00:36:20.000And then once they find your stance, and if it's not their stance, All stances, everything that they believe, you now believe the exact opposite of all of them, because you're now evil, and evil things believe the exact opposite of what they believe.
00:36:34.000So therefore, everything I believe is the opposite of you, so I hate you now.
00:36:38.000This is how I've talked about Bugs Bunny-ing people, where you get them to assert the opposite stance, like make a left-wing person take a right-wing position.
00:36:50.000If you post something like, you know, all cops are bad, and a conservative, and this is a tendency, not an absolute, and they respond saying like, you're so dumb, that's ridiculous, of course not every cop is bad, you're blinded by propaganda, and you respond with something like, you know, actually I think cops are good, of course there are good cops, it's you who think this, they'd be like, wait, what?
00:37:10.000I agree with you, what are you talking about?
00:37:12.000But these lefty tribal people that often, in trying to engage my content, Have no real opinions.
00:37:18.000They're just angry, rage-filled tribalists.
00:38:37.000Like, Eric Weinstein is a progressive, and he sits down with Ben Shapiro, and they literally argue economic policy, but they agree on freedom and liberty and, you know, civil rights and all that stuff.
00:38:48.000But then you take one of these, like, rage monsters, they won't even do the interviews, or they just try and strawman and argue semantics.
00:39:12.000So, we're working on this card game, you know, the cancel culture, and we started thinking about, like, prominent left-wing people that we could satirize in the game, and it's really difficult.
00:39:23.000It's a good point. Who is the like prominent leaders?
00:39:27.000Of course there are a lot of people we can name, but because they don't have solid opinions,
00:39:32.000it's hard to represent what they actually do. Yeah, that's a good point. So like when we say
00:39:37.000something like we're gonna make a satire of Jordan Peterson, Peter Jordanson,
00:39:42.000we know so much about his positions, his principles.
00:39:44.000It's really easy to satirize him, making him do something antithetical to his existence or like shoot lobsters out of his hands.
00:39:56.000That is very simple, but it's also just like making him a more exaggerated version, like he cleans your room, things like that.
00:40:05.000When it comes to the left, it's like they're just mindless I feel like there's very few people to actually pull up that represent the far left that have cohesive arguments.
00:40:51.000Someone posted a forum of how to be Ezra Klein.
00:40:55.000He's the founder of Vox, one of the founders.
00:40:57.000And they were like, basically, he's a sophist.
00:40:59.000Whenever an issue pops up that is negatively impacting the left, he'll be like, actually, the thing we need to do.
00:41:06.000So a good example is when it came to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, he goes, Actually, lifetime appointments are absolutely necessary to the vital body politic.
00:41:17.000And here's why, and it is a thread, and then someone else put another one up where it was like, when it came to a retirement or something, or when it came to a conservative who was like, I'm not gonna retire, he's like, actually, we really do need to set a time limit.
00:41:34.000So basically, can we make it so that every single one of these characters is just a flip-flopper?
00:41:41.000It's difficult to make fun of if the left is literally just like, I'll believe whatever I'm told to believe.
00:41:45.000Because there's also high profile feminists I know where they'll tweet something and then a minute later be like, I didn't realize that was offensive.
00:42:55.000So, for those that aren't familiar, because you live under a rock, there's a couple of people, they're married, and a bunch of Black Lives Matter people, I don't know, whatever you want to call them.
00:45:15.000According to the AG, you can use lethal force to prevent imminent threats to yourself or like, you know, danger to yourself as soon as they enter your property.
00:46:20.000In Missouri, police and prosecutors must prove that a weapon is readily capable of lethal
00:46:24.000use when it is used in the type of crime in which the McCloskeys have been charged.
00:46:29.000Assistant Circuit Attorney Chris Hinckley ordered Crime Lab staff members to field-strip the handgun and found it had been assembled incorrectly.
00:46:36.000Specifically, the firing pin spring was put in front of the firing pin, which was backward, and made the gun incapable of firing according to documents obtained by FiveOnYourSide.
00:46:46.000Firearms experts then put the gun back together in the correct order and test fired it, finding that it worked according to the documents.
00:46:53.000Patricia McCloskey and her husband have said the handgun she waved at protesters was inoperable because they had used it as a prop during a lawsuit they once filed against a gun manufacturer in order to bring it into a courtroom.
00:47:38.000Mark Wahlberg walks in, and he pulls a bullet out, and he puts it in the gun, and he picks it up, and he aims it at the dude, and he says, do you trust me with your life?
00:48:22.000But anyway, I'm reminded of that when they're like, we used the gun as a prop, we knew it didn't work, and then they tampered with evidence.
00:48:43.000Their attorney, Joel Schwartz, confirmed to Five on Your Side that McCloskey's intentionally misplaced the firing pin on the gun and that it was in that condition when Patricia McCloskey waved it at protesters and turned it in to their former attorney.
00:48:55.000Quote, it's disheartening to learn that a law enforcement agency altered evidence in order to prosecute an innocent
00:49:28.000So I'm reminded of that episode of The Simpsons, where Homer is told that if someone... I don't know what... The Simpsons aren't in any definable state, but he's like, if someone comes into your property, you can kill them.
00:49:56.000Louis prosecutor Kim Gardner is engaged in a political prosecution.
00:50:00.000I entered the case seeking a dismissal.
00:50:02.000As AG, I have a duty to protect the fundamental rights of all Missourians, including the right to keep and bear arms in self-defense of one's person and home.
00:50:10.000Now, he issued this statement before the news came out from Five on Your Side, which was updated today, came out in the afternoon on the 21st, a day later.
00:50:18.000I'd like to see what he has to say now.
00:50:20.000I believe that whoever ordered this, they should all be criminally prosecuted for conspiracy, civil rights violations.
00:50:28.000Josh Hawley announced he wants a DOJ investigation into the violation of their rights.
00:50:38.000This thread from Eric Schmidt is fascinating.
00:50:40.000He basically says 8 million times, That this is a chilling effect on the residents of Missouri, that if you even consider protecting yourself, you may be committing a crime, and no one should think that.
00:50:53.000People need to know for sure that if you come on my property, I can act as I need to to defend it, and I don't have to risk being scared that I've committed a crime.
00:51:01.000Hold on, there's actually something in here that I caught.
00:51:04.000The reason why this... I would like to find it, but he says that the reason this state, the castle doctrine, is so strong is for the black community.
00:51:16.000They put that in there because they wanted people of minorities to be able to defend themselves back in the day.
00:52:05.000I want to go down to the actual, uh, uh, the statute he mentions.
00:52:08.000Section 56.031 specifically authorizes Missouri citizens and homeowner to protect themselves from illegal invasions and intrusions into their home and private property.
00:52:20.000One, Missourians may defend themselves and others using physical force, including firearms, to deter the imminent use of unlawful force by another person.
00:52:29.000Unlawful force by another person imminent meaning the moment you walk on the private property They can say I feel threatened bang and not only that they were saying that room.
00:52:38.000I'm gonna shower in I'm gonna sleep in that room It's like well.
00:52:42.000I'm right through I read through what they were saying about it.
00:52:44.000It's like pretty insane what you know I don't mention that Because there's no video.
00:52:47.000The McCloskey's say that's what happened, right?
00:53:57.000Missourians have no duty to retreat from their own residence or property when threatened by an unlawful intruder.
00:54:03.000Further, the Castle Doctrine specifically shields Missourians who act in valid self-defense from prosecution for unlawful use of a weapon by exhibiting a weapon in angry or threatening manner under 571.030.1.4 In fact, 57.030.5 states, it shall not apply to persons who are engaged in a lawful act of defense pursuant to section 563.031.
00:54:27.000They can't even charge them with this!
00:55:30.000They showed up to her house in the wee hours of the morning, and they started firing fireworks, and according to Cassandra, some active gunfire.
00:55:37.000She called the police, they found the commercial mortar launching stuff, the neighbors confirmed it was happening, and they've done it before, so why would I act like it didn't happen?
00:55:46.000They went to the mayor of Oakland's house, and they did the same thing with fireworks.
00:55:52.000What happens next is it takes one person, while this is all going on, to run up and kick the door, and now the door's busted in.
00:55:58.000Then, people are standing around the house banging on the windows, and one person peeks in the door and looks inside, and then someone sees that, and they think, hey, they're going in.
00:56:08.000One person will do one little thing, and then someone else will do one little thing above it, and then everyone adds a little bit to the avalanche, and before you know it, they come to your house, someone throws a brick breaking the window, someone runs up and pops it open and runs away, someone else goes up to the door and looks inside and throws a smoke bomb or a mortar, then everyone sees people running to the door and they all run inside, the next thing you know you're being dragged out and beaten into the street.
00:56:33.000They didn't believe me when I said this was going to happen.
00:56:36.000When I mentioned that the violence is going to escalate, regular people are going to get involved, they're going to show up to your house, people were like, no, they're not.
00:58:58.000If these officers violated section 571030.5, which says that law shall not apply, if they violated 563.031, which gives them the right to self-defense by firearm, the police illegally seized their weapons.
00:59:31.000I've seen so many videos of these cops saying, I refuse to enforce that violation of our constitutional rights.
00:59:37.000When Virginia was like, we're gonna take your weapons away, you gotta turn them in, all these sheriffs were like, nope, we're a sanctuary county.
00:59:46.000Louis, where according to the AG, it is the strongest castle doctrine state, you have a right to bear arms in self-defense, period, why would those police go to their house and take the gun away from them?
01:00:07.000We talk all day and night about how following orders is not an excuse.
01:00:11.000I'm not saying the guys lose their job.
01:00:13.000I'm not saying that they get locked up.
01:00:14.000I'm saying there's got to be some accountability for cops who violate the law.
01:00:23.000The highly politicized prosecution of Missouri citizens for exercising their rights to keep and bear arms in self-defense may intimidate and deter other Missourians from exercising their fundamental right of self-defense.
01:00:38.000This case reflects the opposite of the state's constitutional obligation under article one section twenty three to uphold these
01:00:45.000rights to keep in bare arms self-defense and protect
01:00:48.000against infringement and it says that to a shall not be infringed in fact this political
01:00:54.000prosecution sends a powerful and dangerous message
01:00:57.000you exercise your right to keep in bare arms at your own peril
01:01:01.000if you do you may find yourself in prison this case has a significant
01:01:05.000a significance that extends well beyond the parties right let me
01:01:12.000If, I don't know, a couple of people are in their home and a mob shows up yelling and enters private property, at some point destroying this gate, and there's a history of violence associated with them, is it oppression and fascism when you say, hey, get out of here, you're threatening my property?
01:01:35.000Okay, if a bunch of these far-left extremists show up to a federal courthouse lobbing commercial-grade fireworks and firebombs and whatever at a federal courthouse, is that oppression?
01:06:23.000He is probably getting paid to be the presumptive nominee through this whole S-storm of a 2020 year until they replace him at the end of August before the end of the DNC.
01:06:36.000And then he's gonna be like, oh cool, I can go retire and not have to think anymore.
01:08:00.000I have no idea what the show is, I'm just finding out about it right now.
01:08:03.000I'm telling you, it's going to show her being this amazing president that saved the world from coronavirus and she's the hero.
01:08:13.000It was a really this is really annoying about the family guy did an episode where they go to a timeline where Al Gore was won the presidency.
01:09:32.000Yeah, because the Congress member was pro-union and not far left, and Trump is moderate, and so they were like, we're not voting for Hillary Clinton.
01:11:59.000So, there's a lot of overlap, but there's more Americans who view all lives matter positively, and this is according to The Economist and YouGov, I believe.
01:12:06.000They say, a new Cato national survey finds that self-censorship is on the rise.
01:12:12.000Nearly two-thirds, 62% of Americans, say the political climate these days prevents them from saying things they believe because others might find them offensive.
01:12:20.000The share of Americans who self-censor has risen several points since 2017, when 58% of Americans agreed with this statement.
01:12:31.000Majorities of Democrats, 52%, Independents, 59, and Republicans, 77, all agree they have political opinions they're afraid to share.
01:12:39.000And how many of them are going to say, I'm satisfied with this existence, or are they going to say, give me the guy who made fun of Rosie O'Donnell on stage?
01:14:03.000If there's a majority of moderates, centrist liberals, and conservatives who feel they can't say certain opinions, those opinions do not exist in the political conversation.
01:15:08.000So if you can publicly say you're voting for Biden and everyone cheers, then Trump supporters are going to be lying about who they're voting for.
01:17:37.000I mean, what scares me is they keep saying like, well, Trump's, Trump's, you know, election fraud, like he's gonna, he's gonna try to do all this stuff.
01:17:47.000And I'm like, no, everyone's gonna vote for him.
01:18:54.000There are conservative shows that have always been conservative, and they tell you conservative things, and conservatives like that.
01:18:59.000But there are very few shows where there are, like, centrist-moderate, center-left or center-right opinions, that, like, regular people who are like, I'm not very strong politically, here's how I think, but no one says it.
01:19:11.000Because you're either safe on the conservative side where you know you have your conservative allies or the progressives who think everyone's on their side and they're right.
01:19:19.000So we start doing things where we're like, I'm saying, you know, I guess I'll end up voting for Trump.
01:19:25.000You're saying, I'm not going to vote for him.
01:19:27.000But this is a show with a hippie skateboarding, pro skateboarder, rockstar guy who like first started reading about Trump and all of a sudden was like, whoa.
01:19:43.000I'm saying I actually really like him as a president.
01:19:46.000And so this is exactly what I'm saying.
01:19:48.000With so many people scared to say the kind of things you're saying, you know, I was talking to somebody who's like a prominent Hollywood figure, and you'd be surprised.
01:19:57.000There are a ton, especially after doing Rogan, I got hit up by a ton of like Hollywood LA types who are secretly conservative.
01:20:05.000And not necessarily conservative, but like politically homeless liberals.
01:20:09.000So intellectual dark web is probably an easy way to explain what kind of views these people have.
01:20:13.000And they're saying things like they either did vote for Trump, they're going to vote for Trump, but they know their careers and lives will be destroyed if they say anything.
01:20:21.000So where do they go when they themselves are like hipster skateboarding vegans?
01:20:29.000And so I was talking to this Hollywood dude and he was like, listen man, you got to understand, like when I turn on, you know, YouTube and I see a dude wearing like a beanie and a hoodie or whatever, and you're like a skateboarder musician who's like, what we need to understand is like, finally it feels like I get it.
01:20:45.000Because it's really funny when the far left tries to claim that I or we are like far right or conservative or whatever, because you ask a conservative and they're like, no, of course not.
01:23:06.000Biden is like when you see those memes of stolen IP from China, where it's like Spider-Man with Wolverine claws and it says Star Wars on it.
01:25:47.00032% worry their political views could harm their employment.
01:25:50.000They say nearly a third of employed Americans say they personally are worried about missing out on career opportunities or losing their job if their political opinions became known.
01:25:58.000These results are particularly notable given that most personal campaign contributions to political candidates are public knowledge and can easily be found online.
01:29:57.000And when I thought Bernie was great, it was because, to be honest, I was following a lot of his old speeches, a lot of the memes, a lot of the things my friends were sharing, and I wasn't actually digging in.
01:30:07.000I was just looking at Bernie on the surface, and I was happy.
01:30:10.000I was like, this guy sounds like he's consistent, and it sounds like we have someone who actually cares.
01:30:43.000And he got called out in the media for it.
01:30:45.000We joked about this before, that like, Bernie used to be on the outside of the mansion, looking through the window, yelling to everyone behind him, we're gonna get in!
01:31:09.000You're like, you, you can look at when his campaign removed millionaires and then be like, now let, now let's look at like sales and his tax forms.
01:31:16.000It's like, you know, the exact moment he became a millionaire.
01:32:38.000It's that a lot of them are only able to win because they're millionaires.
01:32:41.000Because they've had long careers, they're high-ranking individuals, they have connections, and they can fundraise off other very wealthy people for political action committees and stuff like that.
01:33:28.000Like, you'd have to be some kind of lunatic.
01:33:31.000You know, some kind of deranged psychopath to get elected to Congress and then go to like some luxury apartment building with an infinity pool and like a Whole Foods in the lobby.
01:34:04.000It's like, you gotta, you got, apparently there's like an infinity pool on her roof.
01:34:08.000I don't know if that's true, whatever, but she's in like very nice DC apartments and there's like a Whole Foods apparently.
01:34:15.000You know, honestly, I don't track her living circumstance, but I know that Michelle Caruso Cabrera, who was challenging her in the primary, like talked about this all the time.
01:34:28.000We want to make sure that people who get in are incentivized to do work successfully for the people.
01:34:33.000It doesn't necessarily mean you give them a million dollars, and maybe a raise doesn't make sense, but it's an argument for, potentially, some kind of pay structure that... And a limit.
01:34:40.000Like Andrew Yang said, something like, pay them millions of dollars, but then they're no longer eligible for private income.
01:35:07.000Congresswoman. Oh, okay. Right, right. Excuse me as a congresswoman. So but that's kind of what we we need
01:35:12.000That's kind of what I was talking about earlier. We got to stop
01:35:15.000Idolizing movie stars so much and realize that the people that are actually making the decisions for our lives
01:35:22.000like we got to look at them and and well more attention to them and and look at them and
01:35:28.000Want to be more like them Like, I'm not saying I want people to be like AOC, but she's proving that there can be a celebrity status in what she's doing.
01:36:11.000However, there are much better people than AOC in terms of real populist politicians.
01:36:17.000Like, I would say Matt Gaetz, for instance, would be like a more principled version of AOC.
01:36:25.000AOC's, what we need to do is we need to get rid of these incumbents who have built careers off being politicians and don't actually do anything.
01:37:34.000Listen, man, if the billionaire philandering president, TV show host, reality, real estate mogul is dumb and you working at Starbucks, man, come on.
01:37:46.000Yeah, I said to someone, I was like, well, you know, he has a degree in economics, right?
01:37:50.000And they tried to argue with me that he didn't.
01:37:55.000And I was like, oh, you know, he no, he actually does.
01:38:59.000So now you're probably going to see a lot of centrist liberals, not all of them, but many of them, probably voting for Republican because it's a safer and more stable bet.
01:40:24.000I used to say yes, but then someone made a really good point in the Super Chat in one episode when they said, what if you have a Rand Paul, a really good, or a Ron Paul, a really principled, you know, politician that you want to be there for you, why should they not be able to run anymore?
01:40:41.000If we actually start looking at these representatives as our idols and wanting to be there, that one person, that Rand Paul, is going to show what a good senator is, what a good politician is.
01:40:55.000And we're going to have more of those type of people trying to get into politics.
01:40:58.000And it's going to continue with the generations that follow.
01:41:01.000You know, there comes a point where it feels like the older generation loses touch with the younger generation, and there needs to be a gap there.
01:41:09.000Instead, right now, it's like all these people have been there for so long, so they're, you know, the newer generation aren't even getting into politics anymore, because everybody wants to be YouTubers, everybody wants to be famous, everyone wants to be an actor or a musician, and it's like, okay, well... Well, we don't want vapid... Look, Like, I'm saying I'd rather have AOC over Pelosi, but I'd rather have a million other people over AOC.
01:42:11.000A lot of younger far leftists are challenging establishment older Democrats.
01:42:16.000That's why, I mean, we just did this article that people are even afraid to tell people what their political views are if they're right-leaning, if they're conservative.
01:42:26.000So if it's not okay... Even centrists!
01:42:30.000So if you're not even able to talk about your political views, if you're steering towards on the conservative side of things, Well, then of course the leftists are going to be riding in and taking over.
01:42:42.000So we have to have more conversations and let it be okay and have people that are more on the right side coming up and becoming younger senators and representatives then.
01:43:27.000It is time for the screaming, I guess, which means... It's super chat time!
01:43:31.000This shows exactly what I'm talking about, though.
01:43:33.000You know, with the politicians that want to be more conservative, they can't even go out and speak in the public because the people on the left are going to cancel them.
01:44:31.000I know, but I feel like there should be some sort of balance between, you know, 230 reform and not being able to just completely twist and lie about, you know, political people.
01:44:52.000Times v. Sullivan set the higher standard for defamation, where basically you have to prove that the other person who lied knew they were lying.
01:45:00.000The standard should be that if you... So, if you lie, and I can prove you lied, we should have some system where we can adjudicate it, and I can say, Your Honor, I believe that what they've said is a lie, and here's proof.
01:45:10.000And the judge can say, upon looking at the evidence, I would say this information is incorrect.
01:45:30.000The problem, though, is the reason it'll never win is because it would open the door for endless lawsuits, which would shut down all these news organizations, and that would be considered an affront to the First Amendment.
01:45:55.000Because we need 230 reform first and foremost.
01:45:57.000So they can lie when they're strong liberals, but as soon as you go, I mean, as soon as you switch over to just regular liberal and beyond, then your truth... This chart explains everything, man.
01:46:34.000They go on Twitter and they post addresses.
01:46:36.000When I was doing my interview, when I was doing that episode of Rogan with Dorsey, I was like, here's a Twitter account that actually docked somebody, and they were like, it's still there?
01:50:17.000I heard apparently she's got like long hair and long fingernails and she's all like, I'm for real, like an unkempt and just like, and they're like spinning around different jail cells because they're panicked.
01:50:27.000Yeah, they haven't shown any newer picture of her either.
01:51:47.000Yep, not a chance says Tim if I see signal and a signal contact number in the bio of a news blue checkmark Should I assume they are really an activist or is there a legitimate reason to have it there is because?
01:51:59.000You don't want someone to get access to your private messages, so I use signal a lot of Everybody should be using encrypted messenger to be completely honest Enlightened Worm says, any of y'all read The Fourth Turning in American Prophecy?
01:52:12.000It looks into cycles of peace, conflict, and growth.
01:52:14.000It predicts large conflict and possible change of social structure between 2020 and 2025.
01:53:38.000They were holding up photos of Trump and Hillary together, and they believe that the Democrats have been trying to feign resistance as the establishment so that Trump could get elected as the underdog.
01:55:54.000Because right when Chaz was becoming like officially Chaz, some dude about 45 years old, overweight, stripped down and started running around Chaz doing laps.
01:56:19.000The story where it was like she emerged from a shroud of tear gas, naked Athena, and then she's like her spreading her legs in front of cops.
01:57:00.000You know what the worst thing about it was, though?
01:57:02.000That guy who had the shield, who kept trying to stand in front of her, and she was clearly trying to get away from him, but he kept just going in front of her with the shield.
01:59:54.000I've been taking it easy for a few days.
01:59:57.000I needed to take a step back from politics and research.
02:00:02.000We skated today, that was really nice.
02:00:04.000Yeah, but I think the main thing is we got a whole new studio set up and it's kind of this purgatory where we're about to move into a bigger space.
02:00:13.000Well, I mean, I do have the video though.
02:03:15.000I don't think we're gonna be able to go see that movie because come November, I think the Democrats are gonna That was, that was great usage.
02:03:43.000I don't know, how do we recover from this?
02:03:46.000Do you really believe that after everything the Democrats have done, from Russiagate, Ukrainegate, impeachment, the lies about Smollett, the lies about Covington, like, I'm not even saying, you know, I'm just saying, like, the media lies, plus all the weird conspiracy scandals, and now they've been pushing mail-in voting, and now we're getting inundated with stories about mail-in voting collapsing and failing, that we're gonna have a normal election?
02:04:23.000If, come November 4th, everything goes back to normal, the milkman shows back up, and the sun is shining, and two scoops of raisin and all that whatever, then go buy a lottery ticket.
02:04:34.000First thing you gotta do is if they're like, Donald Trump wins in a landslide, the Democrats go, he had an excellent campaign, Joe Biden's like, listen here!
02:04:41.000Trump ran a great campaign, he's gonna be a great president!
02:06:17.000And he's tried pulling them out of Syria.
02:06:18.000And so that's why it's like, you know what, man, considering the weird, like, we look at this report from the Cato, I'm just like, you know what, I'm not 100%, but as I've stated before, if I can get somebody who's going to pull the troops out, then I would like to see that.
02:06:34.000And so if you're running for Congress and your position is removal of troops, I'm going to look at your record.
02:06:39.000And if it's there, I'm going to be like, okay, I don't care what your political party is.
02:06:43.000However, I'm fairly confident that our congressperson here probably just said, keep the troops in.
02:06:49.000These people, man, they're spineless, gutless, feckless, all these words.
02:06:57.000Well, ladies and gentlemen, it is past ten.
02:07:00.000That means you must smash the like button!
02:07:03.000And you must smash the subscribe button.
02:07:06.000And you can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Parler at TimCast.
02:07:10.000You can follow at AdamKriegler in all the same places.
02:07:12.000And you can follow at SourPatchLids, L-Y-D-S, on Twitter and Parler as well.
02:07:20.000That really does help us out a lot, letting more people know about our show.
02:07:24.000Yeah, well, I'll put it this way, because promotion is the most important thing.
02:07:27.000If you think that we offer a unique perspective, if we do a good job in discussing the things we discuss, then the best thing you could possibly do is just share this podcast with other people and let them know you like what we do.
02:07:40.000The reason is we're never going to compete with CNN.
02:07:43.000And so if you think CNN lies, and I certainly think they do, how do we compete with that massive marketing budget and those establishment interests?
02:08:12.000That's the difference about what we do.
02:08:13.000There's something different and more personal about podcasting and about YouTube and all that stuff that I feel like what we do is much more important.
02:08:24.000I feel like what Brian Stelter does and what Don Lemon does is kind of like a, I woke up today and what do I have to say to make money?
02:08:30.000What we're doing is saying things like our civil rights are in jeopardy.
02:08:34.000People are scared to speak their minds.
02:08:39.000I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what.
02:08:41.000I've been pretty harsh on people saying you gotta stand up and, you know, if at the very least you won't speak up, the least you can do is either share this or like or subscribe.
