Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Trump DEFENDS The Kenosha Kid, Press Lies And Feigns Outrage, Trump Liked MY Tweet

00:00:00.000 Right now, if you go to Donald Trump's Twitter account and you look at his liked

00:00:29.000 tweets. I think I actually have it pulled up right here.

00:00:31.000 Yeah.

00:00:32.000 There's one.

00:00:33.000 And it's mine.

00:00:34.000 And it's a thread I wrote about why I wanted, one of the reasons, one of the big reasons Then I'm going to be voting for Trump.

00:00:42.000 And it has to do with Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:00:44.000 Earlier today, just a few hours ago, Donald Trump gave a press conference where he talked about Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:00:50.000 And he was asked about it.

00:00:52.000 He said, you know, we all saw the same videos.

00:00:53.000 It looked like he was being attacked.

00:00:55.000 And Trump said that the kid may have been killed if he didn't defend himself.

00:00:59.000 And, yes, that's even the New York Times.

00:01:02.000 Well, the New York Times didn't come out and say that much.

00:01:05.000 They didn't say that much, but they did say he was attacked first and someone else fired a gun first.

00:01:10.000 So, yes, he was being chased.

00:01:12.000 And, of course, the media is feigning outrage.

00:01:14.000 No matter what Trump says or does, he's wrong.

00:01:16.000 The funny thing is he posted this thread and all of these outlets that are highlighting it won't actually talk about what I said.

00:01:23.000 I find that really fascinating.

00:01:25.000 So, I know many of you were really excited we were going to have Kimberly Klasek on today, but she unfortunately had to cancel, so I wish her the best.

00:01:31.000 She's killing it out there. 0.99

00:01:32.000 She had that amazing viral ad, and I'm sure, for obvious reasons, she's very, very busy.

00:01:36.000 And she spoke at the RNC, right?

00:01:38.000 Yeah, she did.

00:01:38.000 Oh, yeah.

00:01:39.000 So, you know, these things happen, and maybe we'll figure something out and have her on at a future date, but I'm sure she's doing something rad nonetheless.

00:01:45.000 So we're just going to talk about what's going on with this press conference, and You know, Donald Trump liking my tweet and it being the only liked tweet on his page is funny because all of a sudden I'm getting hit up by like random people I've known for a long time.

00:01:58.000 They're like, yo, yo, hey, what's up?

00:01:59.000 I have your phone number.

00:02:00.000 And I'm just like, you know, the craziest thing about this is it's not just this tweet from Trump.

00:02:05.000 It's just in the past week or so, a bunch of people that I thought were like progressive anti-Trump Democrat are like whispering We love your show, man.

00:02:15.000 You're awesome.

00:02:16.000 Keep doing it.

00:02:17.000 And I'm like, that's really weird because you post, like, weird SJW stuff and you're telling me, like, what I do.

00:02:21.000 You're getting to them.

00:02:23.000 Or these people really are just, like, secret Trump voters.

00:02:29.000 I think it is just a little bit of everybody.

00:02:31.000 all the polls in 2016, I know we say this all the time, but I wonder if when we talk

00:02:36.000 about secret Trump voters, they keep saying it's non-college educated whites.

00:02:40.000 What if it's not?

00:02:41.000 What if it's just like a little bit of everybody?

00:02:42.000 I think it is just a little bit of everybody.

00:02:44.000 People who pay attention?

00:02:45.000 Yeah, some of the messages I've gotten as of recent, I'm like, this person likes Trump?

00:02:49.000 Like what?

00:02:50.000 That's funny.

00:02:51.000 Because you work for a progressive company.

00:02:53.000 But hey man, there it is.

00:02:54.000 So anyway, we've got a bunch to talk about.

00:02:56.000 We've got this, and we've got some new details on what happened in Portland, and some other stories that are... We've got some satire to throw in the mix from the Babylon Bee, which is really, really good.

00:03:05.000 Of course.

00:03:06.000 We're just going to hang out and talk about all that stuff.

00:03:06.000 Always good.

00:03:18.000 And today it's just me hanging out with Lydia.

00:03:20.000 Yep.

00:03:21.000 That's me.

00:03:21.000 I'm here.

00:03:22.000 I'm here.

00:03:22.000 I'm sorry.

00:03:23.000 I'm not Kimberly Klesik.

00:03:24.000 I'm sorry to disappoint everyone.

00:03:26.000 I wish she could have been here next time.

00:03:28.000 Hopefully we catch her when she's not so busy.

00:03:30.000 I know.

00:03:30.000 Everyone's mad at me.

00:03:31.000 So right now, let's jump in.

00:03:33.000 I want to show you this first story from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and it's a really, really amazing piece of disinformation.

00:03:40.000 And I also want to go through a bunch of these fake news journalists smearing Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:03:46.000 It's insane, man.

00:03:48.000 So earlier today, as I mentioned, Donald Trump gave a press conference where he said, You know, this kid looked like he was being attacked and he may have been killed if he didn't do something.

00:03:57.000 This is what the story says from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

00:03:59.000 They say Trump mischaracterizes Kenosha protest shooting, defends Rittenhouse evening, uh, Rittenhouse evening before his visit to the city roiled by unrest and violence.

00:04:09.000 They say, the president also mischaracterized the incident in which Kyle Rittenhouse was accused of using an assault-style rifle.

00:04:17.000 Quote, that was an interesting situation.

00:04:20.000 You saw the same tape that I saw, Trump said Monday during a White House news conference.

00:04:24.000 He was trying to get away from them, I guess.

00:04:26.000 Looks like, and he fell, and they very violently attacked him, and it was something we're looking at right now and it's under investigation.

00:04:35.000 I guess he was in very big trouble.

00:04:36.000 He probably would have been killed, Trump added.

00:04:39.000 I think I want to say.

00:04:40.000 At the point of the evening, the president describes that he had already shot and killed one protester according to the charging documents and video footage.

00:04:47.000 Trump's latest comments at the stage for what could be a highly charged visit from the most powerful man in the world at a time when the community is still recovering from a week of shootings and unrest that left a black man paralyzed, two white protesters dead, and businesses looted and burned.

00:05:02.000 So here's the first question I have.

00:05:04.000 I think... I'm just so tired of saying it.

00:05:07.000 They don't have Google, do they?

00:05:08.000 I guess not.

00:05:09.000 They don't have... They don't... Listen.

00:05:12.000 All too often, you've got three journalists on this.

00:05:16.000 Let me tell y'all a story.

00:05:17.000 I went to a thing called News Exchange once.

00:05:19.000 They flew me out to Morocco, and they had me up on a stage in front of, like, a thousand journalists watching.

00:05:25.000 And I looked around, and I was asked about, like, the state of journalism.

00:05:28.000 This was back in 2012, and I said, every single journalist should be fired.

00:05:31.000 Every single one of them.

00:05:32.000 Because they have no idea what they're doing tech-wise, they have no idea what they're doing security-wise, and there needs to be, like, a purge and a start over.

00:05:38.000 And that was in 2012!

00:05:40.000 Wow.

00:05:40.000 Have things improved, Tim?

00:05:41.000 It's gotten way worse.

00:05:44.000 And they got, you know, they were mad.

00:05:47.000 Someone from CNN tried offering me a job and I was like... Are you joking?

00:05:49.000 Get out of here.

00:05:50.000 And it's funny because it was like 2012 so I was like kind of broke and just they invited me there because I was doing this coverage.

00:05:56.000 But anyway, I bring this up because...

00:05:58.000 This story from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has three reporters.

00:06:02.000 Three reporters on this, and not a single person could have done a Google search over this.

00:06:08.000 Quantity.

00:06:08.000 Come on, man.

00:06:10.000 Look, the people, all of you listening probably did a Google search and found more information than they did.

00:06:15.000 So is it intentional that they're lying?

00:06:18.000 Specifically when they say that Trump mischaracterized the incident, and the mischaracterization is they're saying at that point he actually had killed somebody, you see they're omitting context to what Trump is saying.

00:06:33.000 The New York Times has the story, I'm not sure, where did I put, there we go.

00:06:37.000 Check this out.

00:06:38.000 First shooting.

00:06:40.000 While Mr. Rittenhouse is being pursued by the group, an unknown gunman fires into the air.

00:06:45.000 Though it is unclear why, the weapon's muzzle flash appears in the footage filmed at the scene.

00:06:50.000 Rittenhouse turns toward the sound of gunfire as another pursuer lunges toward him from the same direction.

00:06:56.000 Rittenhouse then fires four times and appears to shoot the man in the head.

00:07:00.000 You wanna know what's crazy about this?

00:07:01.000 What's that?

00:07:02.000 Four times, they say.

00:07:03.000 The medical examiner said he was hit five times.

00:07:05.000 So, somebody else hit him.

00:07:06.000 Actually, fact check me on that.

00:07:07.000 Can you pull that up?

00:07:08.000 I believe that's true.

00:07:08.000 I'll look it up, yeah.

00:07:09.000 And one of the shots was in the back.

00:07:12.000 And so... Yeah, I remember you telling me about it.

00:07:14.000 I tweeted about this.

00:07:15.000 I think the medical examiner said he was hit five times.

00:07:17.000 Make sure you can fact check me on that one because this is where it gets crazy.

00:07:19.000 The New York Times says he fires four times.

00:07:21.000 Okay, maybe he only did.

00:07:23.000 I asked this question on Twitter when I took a screenshot from the medical examiner's report and it said he was hit, you know, once in the back.

00:07:32.000 And so I was like, how did Kyle Rittenhouse turn towards him as he was lunging at him and hit him in the back?

00:07:38.000 Well, they said they saw another muzzle flash, so I'm assuming that somebody else was shooting as well.

00:07:44.000 Well, what the New York Times is saying is the muzzle flash was fired into the air.

00:07:47.000 Could they be wrong about that?

00:07:48.000 I mean, it's far away.

00:07:49.000 Yeah, it's grainy.

00:07:50.000 That'd be an amazing... If that person's firing a pistol from that range, like, they're... They hit him?

00:07:54.000 That's amazing.

00:07:55.000 Yeah, they're good.

00:07:55.000 They're not out of fire.

00:07:56.000 It's possible.

00:07:57.000 I mean, I'm not a gun expert or anything.

00:07:59.000 But, my question was, how did he get hit in the back?

00:08:01.000 And some people said, if he was lunging and got hit and spun, it would have easily hit him in the back.

00:08:07.000 But, if they're saying... Did you find it?

00:08:09.000 No, I'm still looking.

00:08:10.000 I think I have it on my Twitter, if you like, go through my Twitter, because I tweeted, I asked the question, I think I linked to it.

00:08:14.000 Yeah, but I could find it.

00:08:16.000 Yeah, 5 volts.

00:08:17.000 You look that up and we'll keep talking about it.

00:08:19.000 So, anyway, the point is...

00:08:22.000 Trump didn't mischaracterize it.

00:08:24.000 The dude was being chased.

00:08:25.000 I'm on the New York Times.

00:08:27.000 Is the New York Times not credible enough?

00:08:29.000 And which reporting should I trust?

00:08:31.000 The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that says Trump is lying, that omits most of the details of the incident, or the New York Times that does a detailed breakdown going through video after video?

00:08:42.000 I gotta admit, the New York Times, I think, did a really good job on this one.

00:08:45.000 So he turns toward the guy, and the guy lunges at him first. 0.76

00:08:48.000 Okay.

00:08:49.000 What do you think everybody else said?

00:08:51.000 All these woke journalists.

00:08:53.000 Oh man, I've lined up a bunch of tweets and I have too many.

00:08:56.000 Here's a guy, Daniel Dale says, asked about Kyle Rittenhouse, supporter accused of murder.

00:09:02.000 Trump says he's looking into it, but adds, that was an interesting situation.

00:09:05.000 He was trying to get away from them, looks like, and then they very violently attacked him.

00:09:09.000 He probably would have been killed.

00:09:11.000 I've actually seen a lot of people very critical of this tweet, but I honestly don't see anything wrong with it.

00:09:16.000 It's true.

00:09:17.000 Rittenhouse is accused of murder.

00:09:19.000 I mean, I would say that it looks like self-defense, but he was quite literally charged with it.

00:09:23.000 So this to me is kind of just, you know, neutral.

00:09:26.000 But a lot of people took issue because they want him to bring up the greater context, which I believe would be prudent to do.

00:09:31.000 He didn't do it, but I'm not going to rag on him for just giving us a kind of a bland quote from Trump.

00:09:36.000 However, the recount.

00:09:39.000 Trump not only refuses to condemn Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who killed two protesters, he defends him.

00:09:46.000 They violently attacked him.

00:09:47.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it.

00:09:49.000 You know what?

00:09:49.000 I want to say something because I was reading this account.

00:09:51.000 Did you find the thing yet?

00:09:52.000 No?

00:09:53.000 It's on my Twitter.

00:09:54.000 Just scroll through it.

00:09:56.000 I was reading this account from a medic who was talking about the skateboard guy who got shot by the Kenosha kid and how she ran to him trying to render aid and that his girlfriend was screaming and I'm like, yeah, dude, this is like, this is horrifying.

00:10:10.000 I'm sad for the dude.

00:10:11.000 I don't want anybody to get hurt.

00:10:13.000 The dude with the skateboard should not have gotten shot.

00:10:16.000 But bro, you don't run at a dude with an AR laying on the ground and grab the barrel of the gun and try and pull on it.

00:10:23.000 That's suicidal.

00:10:24.000 It really is.

00:10:26.000 Sure, the left is trying to claim this guy was a hero or whatever, but he hit him over the head with a skateboard.

00:10:31.000 To what degree, because I'll tell you this, I watched the video, and it doesn't look like he did a full swing bash, but at some point the skateboard comes in contact with the kid's head.

00:10:41.000 Then he tries grabbing the barrel of an AR.

00:10:44.000 I mean, dude.

00:10:45.000 At a certain point, like, you gotta back away, this kid's being chased.

00:10:49.000 This is the big problem with mob violence, is that, I've mentioned this, seeing it like, at the G20, I think it was the G20, where Luke Rutkowski got attacked.

00:10:59.000 Someone just pointed at him and screamed, Nazi, and then random people started beating him and he wasn't.

00:10:59.000 Oh yeah.

00:11:04.000 And so what happens if you're minding your own business and someone screams, that's the guy, and they start attacking you?

00:11:09.000 Then yeah, sure.

00:11:11.000 When they frame it like the skateboard dude was a hero, I guess in the context where he had no idea what was going on, and tried attacking a dude with a gun, sure, you could argue that.

00:11:20.000 But when you look in the bigger picture of things, where Kyle is being attacked and chased by a violent mob that was out destroying property, and that dude did not live in Kenosha either, I'm sorry, man.

00:11:31.000 It's not heroic to run up to a random guy you have no idea what's going on and try grabbing the barrel of a gun.

00:11:35.000 Well, USA Today was saying that the victim, Kenosha, might have been trying to save someone.

00:11:40.000 And honestly, I don't think it matters what he was trying to do if he was part of the mob that was chasing him.

00:11:44.000 Which guy?

00:11:45.000 Rosenbaum?

00:11:46.000 That was the first guy who got hit.

00:11:46.000 Yeah.

00:11:47.000 Yeah.

00:11:48.000 Another important thing, too, is the medical examiner report said he got a graze to the head, not a bullet through the head.

00:11:53.000 And I've seen a lot of people claiming that Rittenhouse shot a guy in the head, and that was the initial tweet that went out.

00:11:58.000 Right.

00:11:58.000 People thought it was a hole in his head.

00:12:00.000 I even said the same thing.

00:12:01.000 Yeah, it looked like it.

00:12:02.000 Medical examiner said it was a graze.

00:12:03.000 It was a graze.

00:12:04.000 Oh, wow.

00:12:04.000 Yeah.

00:12:05.000 And that he actually died because I think it hit his internal organs.

00:12:05.000 Interesting.

00:12:08.000 Right.

00:12:09.000 Wow, I didn't know that.

00:12:09.000 Yeah.

00:12:10.000 Yep, yep.

00:12:11.000 So a lot of these people have no idea what's going on.

00:12:13.000 And to be fair, look, I've got videos that I did at the time, which are inaccurate at this point.

00:12:18.000 Like, more information has come out, and I think that's why, you know, it's important to track.

00:12:21.000 You haven't been able to find it?

00:12:22.000 No, I'm still looking.

00:12:23.000 Did you scroll down?

00:12:23.000 On my Twitter thread?

00:12:24.000 I did, yeah.

00:12:25.000 Keep going, it's there somewhere.

00:12:26.000 I will, I will.

00:12:26.000 Alright, here we go.

00:12:28.000 Ryan Saavedra.

00:12:29.000 Quote tweeted this dude, Brian Ler... What is it?

00:12:32.000 La... Brian...

00:12:35.000 Oh, Brian Tyler Cohen, that's his name.

00:12:35.000 Cohen, whatever.

00:12:37.000 He said the ADL looked into Rittenhouse and found no indication from Rittenhouse's social media footprint that he is connected to any extremist movements.

00:12:46.000 The criminal complaint filed by authorities said that Rittenhouse was attacked while running away.

00:12:50.000 In which case... Oh, I actually have the article from the ADL.

00:12:53.000 This will be interesting.

00:12:54.000 They say, uh... Okay, no, this is just the CBS.

00:12:57.000 I'm not gonna read through the CBS article, because I think we've gone through the gist of it, but you get the idea.

00:13:00.000 The ADL, the Anti-Defamation League, which tracks extremist activity, told CBS News, there were militia members at the Kenosha protest, but found no indication from Rittenhouse's social media footprint that he is connected to any extremist movements.

00:13:12.000 His posts indicate he's an extremely pro-police, that he is extremely pro-police, and appears to have been a former police explorer, a career-oriented program for youth considering a career in law enforcement.

00:13:23.000 Many of his social media posts use the phrase, Blue Lives Matter.

00:13:26.000 According to the ADL, I'm assuming that the ADL thinks that's some kind of hate organization.

00:13:26.000 Oh my.

00:13:31.000 If the ADL has gone that far as to say, like, we didn't find anything, there you go.

00:13:37.000 That's thorough.

00:13:37.000 Yeah, that is thorough.

00:13:38.000 That's pretty good.

00:13:39.000 The Anti-Defamation League has like a really broad view of what right-wing extremism is.

00:13:43.000 Like, anti-government anarchists are considered right-wing.

00:13:46.000 That's amazing to me.

00:13:47.000 Yeah, so I guess, they call black supremacy left-wing?

00:13:52.000 Oh, you want to know what else they do?

00:13:54.000 When you go to their page and you're looking at everything they list as like hate speech or hate organization like dog whistles or something, they have an entire list of numbers and numbers in different sequences that they consider forms of hate speech.

00:14:08.000 I found it, by the way.

00:14:10.000 Oh, you did find it?

00:14:10.000 Yeah, I did find it.

00:14:11.000 Oh, okay, you have the article.

00:14:12.000 It says, serious question, how do you shoot someone in the front and the back at the same time?

00:14:15.000 But the story's there, right?

00:14:17.000 You have a screenshot.

00:14:18.000 There's no link?

00:14:19.000 No, just a screenshot.

00:14:20.000 What?

00:14:20.000 I forgot to link it?

00:14:21.000 What kind of journalist?

00:14:22.000 Can you quote some of the text and then Google search it to find the article?

00:14:24.000 Yeah, for sure, I'll do that now.

00:14:25.000 Because I'm pretty sure the dude got hit five times.

00:14:28.000 Yeah.

00:14:28.000 I could be wrong about that, so see what you can find.

00:14:30.000 Yeah, yeah, let me see.

00:14:31.000 Here we got a, uh, this is where it gets fun.

00:14:33.000 We're just basically going through tweets from people who are lying about what happened.

00:14:36.000 It's great.

00:14:36.000 So this is actually really funny.

00:14:37.000 White House has been given two chances to disavow murder committed Rittenhouse, the

00:14:44.000 first press secretary, now Trump, and has taken a pass full time.

00:14:46.000 So this is actually really funny.

00:14:47.000 I mentioned that Trump liked my Twitter thread, and I've gone through it a couple times, but

00:14:51.000 I'll give you the gist of it, because I think it's probably important for me to explain,

00:14:55.000 like, the point of what I was saying.

00:14:57.000 But Kayleigh McEnany was asked about it, and she said that Trump's intent was to highlight

00:15:02.000 information that many people probably didn't know.

00:15:05.000 And yes.

00:15:07.000 And then Trump was directly asked about it, and he said basically the same thing. 0.80

00:15:09.000 But the gist of my thread, because I think it's like, what, 11 tweets, is that it ends with me calling Trump an a-hole.

00:15:18.000 Right. 1.00

00:15:18.000 But I'd rather vote for an a-hole than a coward. 1.00

00:15:21.000 And I think it's fascinating that Trump liked the threat. 0.99

00:15:23.000 I'm like, hey, alright.

00:15:24.000 I think Trump would find it funny.

00:15:25.000 Be like, alright, I'll take it.

00:15:26.000 I think he said something like that once, didn't he?

00:15:28.000 I think he did, yeah.

00:15:28.000 He was like, I'm a mean guy, but I work for you.

00:15:30.000 Exactly.

00:15:31.000 So he probably laughed when he saw it.

00:15:33.000 But the general idea is...

00:15:35.000 I wrote, Kyle Rittenhouse is a good example of why I decided to vote for Trump.

00:15:39.000 Violent extremists were destroying people's lives for months.

00:15:42.000 30 people were killed.

00:15:43.000 Democrats rejected federal assistance every time Trump offered it.

00:15:47.000 Media lied about Trump deploying secret police.

00:15:49.000 Okay, so this is a very broad brush I posted here.

00:15:52.000 I didn't say anywhere in the tweet, I supported Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:15:56.000 Of course, that's an opinion, and they'll probably argue that because I'm just reporting what the New York Times said, that is support for or defense of.

00:16:05.000 What I should have said is that the Kyle Rittenhouse situation is a good reason.

00:16:10.000 You've got violent extremists.

00:16:11.000 Look, I said, you know, violent extremists are destroying people's lives.

00:16:15.000 Democrats won't accept Trump's help.

00:16:16.000 What I was trying to say is none of this should have happened.

00:16:19.000 The kids shouldn't have had to have been there.

00:16:21.000 Exactly.

00:16:22.000 He shouldn't have needed to be there.

00:16:23.000 Right, and the police should have been out there.

00:16:25.000 They shouldn't have been trying to defund the police.

00:16:28.000 If the governor just accepted... First, I think the locals, the city council, whatever, asked for way more National Guard.

00:16:34.000 They did, yes, I recall.

00:16:36.000 And the governor said no.

00:16:38.000 And Trump's repeatedly offered federal assistance, and they've all said no.

00:16:41.000 It shouldn't have happened.

00:16:43.000 Kyle should not have had to have been called by anybody to go out there. 0.97

00:16:46.000 I think it was foolish that he went out there.

00:16:48.000 Because, look man, I've been on the ground with these violent riots, I've seen what these people do, and that kid probably didn't understand the likelihood that he was going to pull the trigger was like 99.9%. 0.98

00:16:59.000 Yeah, well, he's a 17-year-old kid.

00:17:01.000 He's just kind of going out there to have fun.

00:17:02.000 Nothing's ever going to happen to a teen.

00:17:04.000 Nothing's ever going to happen.

00:17:05.000 Nothing's ever going to go wrong.

00:17:07.000 Well, he had good intentions.

00:17:09.000 Right, for sure.

00:17:10.000 But the path to hell is paved with good intentions.

00:17:12.000 Right, exactly.

00:17:12.000 The problem is, where's the...

00:17:16.000 There's no way to call this one, right?

00:17:19.000 Do you just let violent extremists destroy your town?

00:17:21.000 These people weren't from there, by the way.

00:17:23.000 The Kenosha issued a statement saying out of 175 arrests, 102 were from outside the city.

00:17:30.000 And so was he, but he worked in Kenosha.

00:17:33.000 I'm sure some of them all were from outside the city, but had some reason to be familiar with the place.

00:17:38.000 But it's, you know, do you do nothing?

00:17:42.000 Do you just sit back and say, well, I guess I lose my business and my life, or do you say, I need help, the police aren't helping me?

00:17:47.000 And then, to what degree do we blame Kyle for being a 17-year-old kid who was asked by locals, can you help protect businesses?

00:17:54.000 And this kid loves cops, and he was probably like, dude, this is awesome, yeah.

00:17:57.000 And he was rendering aid to the rioters, even.

00:18:00.000 Right.

00:18:00.000 Well, he started the day by scrubbing off graffiti and cleaning the mess up in Kenosha.

00:18:05.000 And I don't know.

00:18:06.000 The only thing that I can come up with to say is that even if you do decide that you need to step in and do something about it, you sure as heck don't send a 17 year old kid.

00:18:13.000 Try to make sure that people who are responsible and mature and have a firm grasp of the situation and aren't running around in cowboy boots, which are really scary.

00:18:20.000 Is that what he was doing?

00:18:21.000 Yeah.

00:18:22.000 I think he had cowboy boots.

00:18:23.000 I think that's why he fell down.

00:18:24.000 Yeah.

00:18:25.000 Yeah.

00:18:25.000 Poor guy.

00:18:27.000 I don't believe that.

00:18:27.000 No way, no way.

00:18:28.000 Is that for sure?

00:18:29.000 I'll look it up.

00:18:30.000 I'll fact check myself.

00:18:31.000 Hold on.

00:18:31.000 Let me throw a little counterpoint to your way in that regard.

00:18:37.000 We send 18 year olds overseas to kill people. 1.00

00:18:40.000 That's fair. 0.99

00:18:41.000 And this kid, he worked in the town.

00:18:44.000 Is a 17 year old not allowed to defend his own community?

00:18:48.000 I think he is, but I have a counterpoint to your counterpoint, because the 18-year-olds that we send to fight wars are led by people who have experience.

00:18:54.000 That's a good point.

00:18:55.000 And who are mature.

00:18:56.000 And as far as I can tell, there's not really anybody like that there.

00:18:58.000 And they go through extensive training.

00:19:00.000 Right.

00:19:01.000 I mean, Rittenhouse looks like he had good... Yeah, he appeared to be trained.

00:19:04.000 Good trigger discipline.

00:19:05.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:06.000 I actually was talking to a friend of mine who said that she felt what proves intent to kill was trigger discipline.

00:19:13.000 Yeah, because he knows how to handle a weapon, and his finger clearly wasn't on the trigger most of the time, that means he made the decision to move his finger to firing position to shoot those people.

00:19:24.000 And I was like, yeah, to defend himself.

00:19:27.000 Yeah, they're coming at you.

00:19:28.000 They have weapons in their hands.

00:19:31.000 Not just a skateboard, man.

00:19:33.000 This is crazy.

00:19:34.000 But anyway, it turns out this work is funny.

00:19:35.000 So that dude, Brian Tyler or whatever, Mike Cernovich quote tweets him saying, Nick Sandman's lawyers represent Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:19:42.000 Enjoy those retweets because you're literally going to be paying money for them.

00:19:46.000 And then the tweet got deleted.

00:19:47.000 And I guess he reposted it with a cleaner statement.

00:19:51.000 He fixed it, huh?

00:19:53.000 So you can't really sue someone for defamation if it's an opinion, you know.

00:19:53.000 Yeah.

00:19:57.000 So the tweet went away.

00:19:58.000 And I guess it's not the only one.

00:20:00.000 A bunch of other people did too.

00:20:04.000 Here's the screenshot.

00:20:04.000 We're going to get demonetized because we got some swears in here.

00:20:06.000 It says, holy S, Trump is defending Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:20:09.000 He's defending a white supremacist who murdered two people in cold blood.

00:20:12.000 He defended him from the lectern at the White House.

00:20:15.000 You know, man, I don't know how we're supposed to have a functioning society if people just make stuff up.

00:20:22.000 And just, you know, you know what the craziest thing is?

00:20:25.000 Ultimately, I want to get to here is the gaslighting with Joe Biden.

00:20:29.000 How he's basically Joe Biden came out and says he's condemned violence on both sides and is challenging Trump to do the same.

00:20:36.000 And it's like when Trump, the last time he said there were bad people on both sides and some fine people on both sides, they turned it into a smear.

00:20:44.000 They've used nonstop.

00:20:45.000 Joe Biden did.

00:20:46.000 It's so ironic that Joe Biden is bringing this up because he kicked off his campaign talking about the Very Fine People hoax.

00:20:53.000 And he's like, President Trump, you know, he really likes him some white nationalists or whatever.

00:20:59.000 And he's never let go of it.

00:21:00.000 And now he's bringing it up again now.

00:21:02.000 Well, now what Biden's doing is a clever, you know, linguistic manipulation.

00:21:07.000 Yeah.

00:21:07.000 So instead of saying Trump called white nationalists this, he says, remember what they looked like and remember what he said.

00:21:12.000 Then he says the quote, so he can't be sued for lying.

00:21:15.000 That's pretty clever.

00:21:16.000 It is, because it'd be funny if Trump sued Biden for defamation in a political race.

00:21:19.000 That would be amazing.

00:21:21.000 No, the judge would laugh and be like, welcome to politics, grow up, you're 74, you're beyond an adult.

00:21:27.000 Wait, so you can sue for defamation if you're a famous person, though, right?

00:21:31.000 Yeah, it's harder, though.

00:21:32.000 So, I mean, Will Chamberlain, who I've actually got one of his tweets, is a better person to talk to, but he'll be on the show, I think.

00:21:41.000 When is he coming on?

00:21:43.000 Oh yeah, I've had Will on my show so many times.

00:21:45.000 But my understanding, basically having talked to Will several times who is a lawyer, is you have to prove, if you're a public figure and someone defames you, you have to prove they knew what they were saying was false.

00:21:56.000 It's extremely difficult.

00:21:58.000 Yeah, how do you prove someone's intent? 0.99

00:22:00.000 Messages, emails, but even then, you know, I think for a lot of this stuff, these people are just, you know, kind of really dumb. 0.99

00:22:07.000 Yes. 0.95

00:22:08.000 And there's not going to be internal communications for a guy who just tweets something out.

00:22:13.000 So, proving actual mess.

00:22:13.000 Right.

00:22:15.000 Now, I guess the big issue is, what's becoming really challenging with these defamation suits is that everyone is a public figure now.

00:22:23.000 Yeah.

00:22:23.000 So when it came to Nick Sandman, so for those unfamiliar, he's the Covington kid who was standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

00:22:29.000 The Native American guy walked up to him, started banging a drum in his face, and then the media smeared him.

00:22:34.000 He's won a bunch of settlements, by the way.

00:22:36.000 But the trouble with him was they tried arguing he was an involuntary public figure, and they were writing about him because it was the news and he's a public figure.

00:22:44.000 And I guess his legal team argued against that, saying he didn't do anything to be a public figure.

00:22:47.000 Involuntary, yeah.

00:22:48.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:22:48.000 No, that's a thing, it is.

00:22:50.000 So they argued the kid didn't say anything.

00:22:52.000 You can't set that standard.

00:22:53.000 That's insane.

00:22:54.000 But that's where it's getting dangerous.

00:22:55.000 Is Kyle Rittenhouse now a public figure because he's all over the press and social media?

00:23:01.000 I think it's ridiculous to try and argue he is.

00:23:05.000 He didn't say anything to anybody, you know.

00:23:07.000 Well, I would say I'm really, really happy that Britten House is being defended by Nick Salmon's lawyer.

00:23:14.000 That gives me a great deal of confidence in what's going to happen.

00:23:16.000 And the sheer amount of video around this incident, there's no, I don't, There are two new videos that have surfaced which make the circumstance really interesting.

00:23:27.000 the first is that apparently after the shooting, one of the guys who was with Kyle Rittenhouse says,

00:23:33.000 the police told us they were going to block it off and then send everyone our way because we

00:23:37.000 could deal with it. So I tweeted about that and I'm like, dude, that Kadosha Peaton needs to

00:23:42.000 answer for this because that sounds like they set him up.

00:23:45.000 Seriously?

00:23:46.000 And I don't mean set him up like a bunch of cops were like, I got a plan to frame a kid.

00:23:50.000 What I'm saying is, it's an extreme interpretation of what I'm trying to say, what I'm trying to say is, the cops knew there were kids down there armed, and were like, send the writers that way.

00:23:58.000 And I'm not saying they had a grand scheme or grand intent.

00:24:00.000 It was literally just like they knew the kids were there and they thought, eh, send the writers that way.

00:24:07.000 It's negligence.

00:24:08.000 Yeah.

00:24:08.000 See, those are the adults that I would have expected to have taken up like the mantle of being responsible for these kids.

00:24:15.000 It looks like they really failed them.

00:24:15.000 And they didn't.

00:24:17.000 I think the point you made earlier is exactly it.

00:24:21.000 While we do have young people who go overseas to fight wars, they have commanders.

00:24:25.000 They have the chain of command.

00:24:27.000 They have training and guidance.

00:24:28.000 This kid probably did have a lot of training, but no one on the ground was seemingly in control of the situation.

00:24:34.000 I'd imagine if they actually had someone older and more experienced, he could have called them, told them, like, here's what we do, here's how we do it, here's when we move.

00:24:41.000 And if they were together, he wouldn't have been chased.

00:24:43.000 So you had a handful of kids And they weren't experienced enough.

00:24:47.000 So when Rittenhouse got attacked and chased, the other guys should have been there to help him out.

00:24:52.000 So there's another video.

00:24:53.000 So there's that one, but there's another one where after the first guy gets shot, Kyle is running and someone said, what happened?

00:24:58.000 And Kyle says, I'm running to get the police.

00:24:58.000 What's going on?

00:25:00.000 Oh, wow.

00:25:01.000 Yeah.

00:25:01.000 And then people start yelling, get him, get him, stop him.

00:25:04.000 And then they start attacking him.

00:25:06.000 The kid was running for the police and they attacked him.

00:25:10.000 So, you know, it really is an interesting conundrum.

00:25:14.000 First and foremost, none of them should have been out past curfew.

00:25:17.000 Yep.

00:25:18.000 But, none of them should have been out past curfew.

00:25:23.000 I give a little bit more leeway to the kids because they were there in a defensive, you know, right?

00:25:29.000 Protect the businesses, render aid.

00:25:31.000 It was gonna happen.

00:25:32.000 The rioters shouldn't have been out there rioting.

00:25:34.000 So, I think the fact that they were out there burning down buildings, not this group specifically, but just in general, negates this idea that the skateboard guy was a hero.

00:25:43.000 Yeah, so if we take into account that the kid who is 17 shouldn't have been out there with his gun, then the protesters surely should not have been out there either.

00:25:52.000 Like, we have to apply the same standard.

00:25:55.000 So the issue right now that I'm seeing, like the way CNN is framing it, and the friends, and these leftists, is that the skateboard guy, by himself, sees a dude running down the street with an AR, and they're screaming, he just killed somebody.

00:26:09.000 And so in his mind, he was like, oh man, I gotta stop this guy before he hurts someone else.

00:26:13.000 You see what I'm saying?

00:26:14.000 Sure, yeah.

00:26:15.000 The problem is, that guy wasn't out there with good intentions.

00:26:19.000 Right.

00:26:19.000 So, I'm, you know, if you go out with the intent to riot, see someone running down the street, and then you attack them, I'm sorry dude, that's not heroic.

00:26:27.000 You don't know what happened, you don't know who you're attacking, and that's actually, it's interesting to me that I've talked to a lot of people about the good guy with the gun scenario.

00:26:35.000 You have a lot of conservatives who say, how do you stop a bad guy with a gun, a good guy with a gun?

00:26:38.000 And many of them said the reason it's a bad idea is that if everyone starts attacking each other, the cops have no idea who's the good guy or the bad guy.

00:26:45.000 Right.

00:26:45.000 Well, I think sometimes you talk about when somebody steals a purse, or if somebody has a purse, and all you have to do is say, that person stole my purse, and then you cause all sorts of problems for them.

00:26:54.000 So what is this story that you tell where you're like, If you have a purse, all you have to do is yell at somebody

00:26:59.000 and you get people to attack them.

00:27:00.000 Yeah. I mean, but you could theoretically, this is the craziest.

00:27:03.000 Anything.

00:27:04.000 Anything at any time, anywhere. As long as there's a mob.

00:27:07.000 Like if I was walking down, I'd be one. Actually, you know what? I'll put it this way.

00:27:11.000 If I was in New York and I saw you and you were like walking and I yelled, stop

00:27:15.000 her. She stole my purse. 1.00

00:27:17.000 I don't think anybody would do anything.

00:27:20.000 If a guy had the purse, though, because, like, as much as people might not want to accept it, there's still sexist stereotypes.

00:27:25.000 Right, there are stereotypes.

00:27:26.000 Guys don't really care.

00:27:26.000 If a guy was carrying a purse, a woman could yell, he grabbed my purse.

00:27:30.000 Most people would do nothing.

00:27:31.000 Yeah.

00:27:32.000 Oh, for sure.

00:27:32.000 But eventually you'd find one dude who would walk up and grab you and be like, yo, give the purse.

00:27:36.000 And then the guy would be like, it's my purse.

00:27:38.000 And then, you know, whatever.

00:27:39.000 I don't know.

00:27:39.000 Right.

00:27:39.000 You could theoretically do it with a backpack, though.

00:27:41.000 That makes more sense.

00:27:42.000 Yeah.

00:27:43.000 But I'd be willing to bet in a crowded New York City very few people would actually intervene in any way but create a mob violence situation and they will do anything.

00:27:51.000 It's creepy.

00:27:52.000 There's a video, I think it's Wisconsin, I'm not sure, where a guy, a regular guy, is standing in front of a store with his arms up And they're all screaming at him to get out of the way, and then one random Antifa just goes, he's a Nazi!

00:28:06.000 And then people start screaming and hollering, because that Antifa guy knows, you say that, and then other people will just start physically attacking the individual.

00:28:14.000 And then the person ends up running off.

00:28:15.000 Fraud is a bunch of lemmings, that's for sure. 1.00

00:28:17.000 Yeah, the interesting thing about all of the stuff we see with the far left is that it is what I would call, like, in terms of a weapon, if you were to, like, print an analogy, it's a blunt object.

00:28:28.000 Yeah.

00:28:29.000 Whereas the extremist stuff we normally see with, like, mass shooters is, like, a knife.

00:28:35.000 What I mean by that is, you attack someone with a knife, you're going to end them really quickly, and it's like a high, you know... It's intense.

00:28:43.000 Yeah, right.

00:28:43.000 And a blunt object is slow, and if you hit someone with a bat once, they might just run away.

00:28:48.000 So you can theoretically hit a thousand people with a baseball bat over the course of a month, and it won't make the news.

00:28:55.000 Nobody cares. 0.98

00:28:57.000 You run up to somebody and stab them, it's gonna be front page on the local news. 0.96

00:29:00.000 You do it to several people, it'll be major news.

00:29:03.000 And so what ends up happening is you have these terror attacks where the mainstream media sees it, and rightly so, goes like, whoa, this dude ran into a room with a gun and shot all these people!

00:29:12.000 And then everyone talks about how right-wing violence is the most extreme, and it's like, it's certainly a problem, absolutely, we gotta have the feds stopping all this stuff.

00:29:20.000 But with the loadsier stuff on the left, they do it a hundred times more often, but it never makes the news, so it keeps happening.

00:29:27.000 Right.

00:29:28.000 Now, Donald Trump's announced something earlier.

00:29:30.000 Along with the press conference where he talked about Kai Rittenhouse, he says, this is from Felicia Sonmez.

00:29:36.000 Felicia is Washington Post national political reporter.

00:29:39.000 DHS and DOJ are announcing a joint operations center to investigate violent left-wing civil unrest, Trump says.

00:29:47.000 Good.

00:29:48.000 Awesome.

00:29:49.000 Yep.

00:29:50.000 So it strikes me that it would be much simpler to just say, all extremists left and right are bad.

00:29:55.000 Why can't we just do that?

00:29:57.000 Well, apparently now that's what Joe Biden's trying to do.

00:29:59.000 Oh boy.

00:30:00.000 Wait, let me see if I can find a... Here we go.

00:30:02.000 This is great.

00:30:04.000 Tyler... I'm going to go back to that tweet because there's another funny thing there.

00:30:06.000 Tyler Pager says, Biden on Trump's presser.

00:30:09.000 I urge the president to join me in saying that while peaceful protest is a right, a necessity, violence is wrong, period.

00:30:16.000 If Donald Trump can't say that, then he is unfit to be president and his preference for more violence, not less, is clear.

00:30:24.000 Yeah.

00:30:24.000 Why doesn't he say that, Tim?

00:30:26.000 Take a look at this tweet below.

00:30:27.000 Someone commented, we've reached levels of gaslighting never before thought possible.

00:30:32.000 I couldn't believe this, so I actually pulled it up and yep, look at this.

00:30:35.000 Biden, I condemn violence in Portland, challenge Donald Trump to do the same.

00:30:39.000 Biden condemns violence in Portland and calls on Trump to do the same.

00:30:42.000 Biden condemns Portland violence, says Trump recklessly encouraging it.

00:30:47.000 Wow.

00:30:48.000 Trump is recklessly encouraging it.

00:30:50.000 That's crazy.

00:30:51.000 You know what was really crazy to me when I saw this?

00:30:54.000 I think this proves that Joe Biden and Kamala and the Democrats no longer care for politically active people.

00:31:03.000 They're straight up saying, if you follow the news and you listen to commentary, we don't want your vote.

00:31:09.000 You know why?

00:31:10.000 Why?

00:31:10.000 Because we've all been listening to Trump scream his head off about ending the violence and having law and order.

00:31:16.000 And they keep blaming him for it, even though it's like, We just had Ted Wheeler of Portland write a letter and say, I do not want your help ending the violence.

00:31:26.000 Yep.

00:31:27.000 And then what did he do the next day?

00:31:29.000 What?

00:31:30.000 He did a press conference where he blamed Donald Trump for not intervening.

00:31:33.000 And if you don't want to help us get out of our way, support us or get the hell out of the way.

00:31:38.000 What do you think he tried to do?

00:31:40.000 Now look at this, look at these stories, man.

00:31:43.000 My favorite one is the Reuters one where it says Biden condemns violence, says Trump recklessly encouraging it.

00:31:48.000 How dare Trump, you know, how dare Trump's staff donate to the, oh, I'm sorry, this is Biden's staff.

00:31:54.000 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:31:55.000 From Reuters, Biden's staff donate to group that pays bail in riot-torn Minneapolis.

00:32:00.000 I remember this.

00:32:01.000 Oh, that was Biden's staff.

00:32:02.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:32:03.000 It was in May.

00:32:04.000 Well, OK.

00:32:05.000 Well, anyway, it's not like his vice presidential candidate was actively encouraging people to donate to the riot. 0.91

00:32:09.000 That'd be silly, Tim.

00:32:11.000 Oh, here's a tweet from Kamala Harris.

00:32:14.000 If you're able to chip in now to the Minnesota Freedom Fund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.

00:32:20.000 Wait, wait.

00:32:21.000 I have an objection with this, OK?

00:32:22.000 Kamala Harris is supposed to be the law and order candidate, right? 1.00

00:32:26.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:32:27.000 So how does this jive with this stupid tweet about donating to the Minnesota Freedom Fund? 0.98

00:32:32.000 Remember when I mentioned last week the Bugs Bunny meme where he's just leaning up against the wall with his eyes half closed? 0.98

00:32:38.000 That's how I feel right now.

00:32:42.000 Yeah, no, oh yeah one of these again, huh?

00:32:45.000 Yeah, listen I was talking to it Wait a minute don't eat Tim.

00:32:50.000 Why is it?

00:32:50.000 Why does it go to Kamala Harris for the people?

00:32:52.000 Oh it goes through her?

00:32:56.000 What look at this act blue yeah, it is no kidding oh And it says, KDH, Social Minnesota Freedom Fund, ref code.

00:33:06.000 But it says Kamala Harris for the people.

00:33:08.000 Does this, who does, okay, it does go to the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

00:33:12.000 Okay, okay.

00:33:13.000 I'm like, that's kind of weird.

00:33:14.000 I was talking to a family member who said that in the suburbs of Chicago, people are crossing their fingers that Kamala Harris will be a law and order candidate who is going to shut down the extremism. 0.97

00:33:23.000 And I just laughed when I heard it.

00:33:25.000 I'm like, dude, the lady is so desperately pandering to the far left. 0.98

00:33:30.000 You know why I just laughed at this?

00:33:32.000 Do you know what the—I'm doing air quotes here—protests were in Minnesota?

00:33:36.000 I mean, of course you do.

00:33:37.000 It was people running around burning things down, and they're still doing it.

00:33:41.000 Yep.

00:33:42.000 So who was getting bailed out?

00:33:44.000 Protests.

00:33:46.000 Aw, man.

00:33:46.000 You know what I wonder?

00:33:49.000 I think some of these Democrats genuinely believed they were peaceful protests.

00:33:53.000 Maybe at first.

00:33:55.000 I'm not saying the high-profile ones.

00:33:57.000 I'm saying there's a bunch of dopey, not-watching-the-news, being like, peaceful protests.

00:34:05.000 Kamala Harris, on the other hand, I bet she's sitting in a situation room, and she's got a scowled face, and she's like, what are they doing in these buildings? 0.69

00:34:14.000 We want their votes?

00:34:16.000 Whatever.

00:34:17.000 Tell me what to tweet.

00:34:18.000 Yes.

00:34:18.000 And she just goes for it.

00:34:19.000 I imagine that's exactly what she does. 0.87

00:34:20.000 In fact, I imagine tell me what to do is a lot of what Kamala says because I don't think she thinks a lot for herself.

00:34:27.000 I think that she's constantly waiting for messaging.

00:34:31.000 You're right, but I think it's unfair because Joe Biden is like, What a dream team.

00:34:37.000 isn't even able to carry out the commands he's given.

00:34:39.000 You know what I mean?

00:34:40.000 I didn't say this was unique to her.

00:34:42.000 I just said that she especially is really...

00:34:45.000 I get it, I get it.

00:34:47.000 But you know, Joe Biden.

00:34:48.000 Yeah, that's fair.

00:34:49.000 Man.

00:34:50.000 What a dream team.

00:34:51.000 Did you see the clip from the Joe Biden presser he did earlier?

00:34:53.000 Yeah.

00:34:54.000 Where he was like, can you believe that in more than one year, with a hundred year...

00:35:01.000 And I'm like...

00:35:02.000 I don't know what you're talking about, dude.

00:35:05.000 Dude, anyway.

00:35:07.000 So to see this, like, epic gaslighting, man, you gotta love it.

00:35:10.000 Cernovich responded to her on June 1st saying, you are funding domestic terrorism.

00:35:15.000 Uh-huh.

00:35:15.000 He got 1,100 retweets.

00:35:16.000 Yep.

00:35:17.000 And someone replied a day ago, this aged well.

00:35:19.000 Indeed it did.

00:35:20.000 She did.

00:35:21.000 Now we got a guy who was killed walking down the street.

00:35:26.000 For those that haven't been following the story, his name was Aaron Danielson, Trump supporter, walking down the street in Portland, and it was targeted, this killing.

00:35:36.000 So I'm sure most of you know by now this story has been ridiculously massive.

00:35:40.000 And it's one of the things they asked Trump about in this press conference.

00:35:45.000 The woman from CNN said, you know, you want to condemn far-left violence, put out your own supporters.

00:35:50.000 There were Trump supporters who had paintball guns and stuff like that.

00:35:53.000 Pepper spray, defensive stuff.

00:35:54.000 Yeah, bear mace.

00:35:55.000 And that's what he said, yeah.

00:35:56.000 And Trump said, you know, paintball, like, look, if they're going to defend themselves from violence, it's very different from the bullets that were used to kill one of, you know, his supporters.

00:36:06.000 Yeah.

00:36:07.000 And it's true, man.

00:36:07.000 Well, first, just keeping it on Biden before we jump over to the update on Aaron Danielson, we got to talk about the, you know, the information that came out from a witness.

00:36:18.000 Trump allies challenge Biden's tougher tone on riots, note support for fund bailing out protesters.

00:36:25.000 Donald Trump is the most lawless president in American history, said Biden's spokesperson.

00:36:29.000 The last thing I want to mention on this because when I saw that gaslighting, it really did shock me to my core.

00:36:36.000 I was just like, The idea that Joe Biden can for months be like, look fat, you know, support the protests, peaceful, you know, and Kamala Harris could be like, why don't everybody pitch in and help, you know, bail out these protesters?

00:36:51.000 Like, for her to tweet something like that, and then do a complete 180, where now he's— It was specifically that he's saying Trump is promoting this, when it was literally— Well, to be fair, I want to make sure I'm very careful in how I say this, Joe Biden did condemn the extreme violence several times.

00:37:09.000 Yes, he did.

00:37:10.000 And I respect that.

00:37:10.000 Right.

00:37:11.000 However, his staff has been supporting it, and the underlying protests they've absolutely supported, and almost exclusively, these protests have devolved into some kind of chaos.

00:37:21.000 Yep.

00:37:21.000 Real peaceful protests have been rare here.

00:37:24.000 I've praised them every time they've happened.

00:37:26.000 And typically, they don't get a lot of news coverage, and people complain about it.

00:37:28.000 They're like, Tim, why won't you talk about the fact that a thousand people marched with signs?

00:37:32.000 I'm like, I did!

00:37:32.000 I said it was great!

00:37:34.000 And I said if they wanted to sit down and block the road, I wouldn't have a problem.

00:37:36.000 It's civil disobedience.

00:37:37.000 It's great.

00:37:38.000 But that's not what happened.

00:37:39.000 Like, what do you want me to do?

00:37:40.000 You want me to, like, talk for a half an hour?

00:37:41.000 A bunch of people walk down the street waving signs.

00:37:43.000 It was great.

00:37:43.000 That's the problem with peaceful protest.

00:37:46.000 It's boring.

00:37:47.000 There's nothing really to report.

00:37:48.000 No one gets hurt.

00:37:49.000 No one gets shot.

00:37:50.000 People just demonstrate and they are civilly disobedient sometimes.

00:37:54.000 Not even that.

00:37:54.000 But it can generate positive press.

00:37:56.000 Right.

00:37:57.000 Because it creates a story.

00:37:58.000 The problem is they've escalated everything to a certain degree where, yeah, there's not a lot of news in people walking around waving signs.

00:38:05.000 Unless it's massive.

00:38:07.000 So when this first started, I was thinking that if enough conservatives would get out and peacefully demonstrate that they could make a big difference.

00:38:14.000 But I am not convinced anymore, because what's the point to peacefully protesting?

00:38:19.000 I mean, I need an argument here.

00:38:21.000 I think I saw something from Cernovich a moment ago where he was saying, stay home, make money, go vote.

00:38:26.000 Yeah.

00:38:27.000 And I think it's smart, because the thing right now that's going to really, really mess up Trump supporters is retaliation.

00:38:35.000 So let's go to this story.

00:38:38.000 We got news.

00:38:39.000 Aaron J. Danielson died from gunshot wound to the chest, medical examiner says.

00:38:43.000 I mean, we all pretty much knew it.

00:38:45.000 There's a few things that I really want to talk about here.

00:38:47.000 And I want to get into that.

00:38:49.000 There's a tweet prior where they're trying to liken what's going on to Nazi Germany, blaming Trump supporters for this.

00:38:54.000 This is crazy.

00:38:55.000 They're posting fake videos from a... They're posting videos from someone else defending that crazy guy in Portland who slashed three people.

00:39:04.000 And they're claiming it was him, and it's not.

00:39:07.000 Yeah, and it's a top comment on the Reddit post.

00:39:09.000 They're saying that this guy was defending that murderer dude.

00:39:13.000 It's not true.

00:39:14.000 They're just lying.

00:39:15.000 That's what- that's crazy to me.

00:39:17.000 And that's- that's part of what I was saying about how they, like, don't Google search things.

00:39:22.000 They don't care.

00:39:23.000 And I have to- I have to- I just- at a certain point, either we fire all these fake journalists, or we just accept they're doing it on purpose.

00:39:30.000 That's the only thing I can assume.

00:39:32.000 Because every time I see something like that, all it takes is 15 seconds of Google searching and the right, you know, search term, and I can come up with what I need.

00:39:41.000 This is the funniest thing about my job is that I get hit by people who are like, you know, thank you for doing the work and fact-checking.

00:39:49.000 I see reviews where they're like, you know, Tim always makes sure he has proper sources.

00:39:53.000 I'm like, it's true, I do.

00:39:54.000 And it's not hard.

00:39:56.000 It's possible, yeah.

00:39:57.000 I mean, to be fair, I think it is fair to say I do know where to go to find breaking stories.

00:40:05.000 I do have a better assessment of what's true.

00:40:07.000 A lot of people don't like this.

00:40:10.000 They claim I don't do journalism when I'm literally verifying videos and fact-checking and finding the sources for photos and videos.

00:40:15.000 And I won't report on stories if the sources are questionable.

00:40:19.000 So it's true, but it's amazing to me that often fact-checking a story requires a Google search, I find a Twitter video, I find a corroborating tweet, and then I see a story in the New York Times, and their source is law enforcement, and I'm like, looks good to me.

00:40:31.000 But then these other journalists are just like, well, my grandma said that this guy was a Nazi.

00:40:38.000 It's because they're working backwards.

00:40:39.000 I'm fairly convinced at this point that they are starting from their conclusion, and they're working back.

00:40:45.000 And it doesn't matter what gets in the way.

00:40:47.000 They're going to say whatever needs to be said to get to their conclusion.

00:40:50.000 That's the craziest thing to me.

00:40:51.000 At a certain point, they've... Come on, man.

00:40:55.000 The American people... 1.00

00:40:56.000 Look, if you want to pull the George Carlin thing, when he said, imagine how stupid the average person is, now realize half of them, you know, half of them are stupider than that. 1.00

00:41:04.000 Yep. 1.00

00:41:05.000 Yeah, it's funny.

00:41:06.000 George Carlin was a legend.

00:41:07.000 I love that guy.

00:41:09.000 And right, right.

00:41:10.000 I get the point.

00:41:11.000 It's true. 0.99

00:41:12.000 However, people aren't that stupid. 0.99

00:41:15.000 Like Joe, for Joe Biden to come out and be like, Donald Trump, Joe Biden literally said your supporters coming out and like intimidating, threatening people. 0.99

00:41:24.000 And I'm like, do you think that All right, listen, maybe the bottom 10% of intelligence are sitting there going like, whoa, those guys wearing all black and screaming Black Lives Matter were white nationalist Trump supporters. 0.89

00:41:39.000 That's crazy.

00:41:40.000 Isn't that weird? 0.99

00:41:41.000 But come on, that's got to be like, that's like Forrest Gump wasn't even that dumb. 0.93

00:41:45.000 You know what I mean? 0.81

00:41:46.000 Those people who are saying that, those people who are agreeing with that, are also working backwards.

00:41:50.000 They have a conclusion, the conclusion is orange, mad, bad.

00:41:54.000 Whatever supports this.

00:41:55.000 I know, I know, I get it, but like, how do you have three months of footage of people screaming, Black Lives Matter, and then Joe Biden goes, listen, those guys, actually, Trump supporters.

00:42:06.000 And they just go like, oh, now, that's right, they were Trump supporters.

00:42:12.000 Maybe we esteem politicians too highly, because I can't imagine someone else saying that and getting away with it.

00:42:18.000 I guess.

00:42:20.000 Maybe he's counting on people who don't pay attention and they just see the headlines.

00:42:22.000 Yeah, definitely.

00:42:23.000 Low information.

00:42:25.000 So here's the first thing I want to mention, right?

00:42:26.000 If you watched my earlier segments, then you know a little bit about this, but the guy who was with Aaron Danielson, they called him Jay, I guess his middle initial, said that they were walking the other direction.

00:42:38.000 when someone yelled, we got them right here, we got a couple right here, pull it out, here, yeah,

00:42:44.000 they turn around, bang, bang. So it seems like these guys, we now know, based on the witness,

00:42:51.000 it was the far leftists who yelled, we got a couple right here. Pull it out. It wasn't them.

00:42:56.000 and And this guy, Aaron Danielson, turned around, and it does look like in this really crappy, grainy video that he fires mace or whatever.

00:43:03.000 The left is trying to claim that was self-defense, but based on the witness statement for now, it's the only statement we have, they turned around and saw a guy raising a gun to him, and so he went for his mace.

00:43:13.000 And it's like, man, maybe you see someone raising the weapon, but you don't know what to do.

00:43:17.000 You have a quarter of a second to decide.

00:43:19.000 And so he raised the mace and then took two to the chest.

00:43:19.000 Yeah, what are you supposed to do?

00:43:22.000 So this guy was targeted based on the witness statement, and I'll tell you what.

00:43:26.000 The people who are trying to argue that the far leftist guy was defending himself from mace, it's like, you're gonna be hard pressed to convince, based on that video, that you saw someone drawing mace and therefore you decided to end their life.

00:43:37.000 You could try and argue that I couldn't tell what it was, I saw him raising something at me so I defended myself, but it was almost the exact same time and they approached him, yelling, we got a couple right here.

00:43:47.000 Yeah, how do you explain the audio?

00:43:48.000 And then he fled as fast as he could.

00:43:51.000 So apparently, this is crazy too, I guess his sister is the one who turned him in.

00:43:56.000 We got this from the Daily Mail.

00:43:57.000 Portland Antifa protester who is under investigation for shooting a Patriot Prayer Trump supporter after being turned over to police by his own sister.

00:44:07.000 So apparently, he was reported to police by his sister who recognized him in photos and videos from Saturday night. 0.70

00:44:12.000 This was not, like, listen, the Trump supporters have a right to drive their cars around and say silly things.

00:44:19.000 That's just a fact.

00:44:20.000 Of course.

00:44:21.000 And so this is where it gets really, you know, really frustrating in terms of the national narrative from the left.

00:44:26.000 They're like, I saw a journalism professor, her name is Emily Bell, I know her, I think she's a nice person, but she tweeted, You know, I had to call a family member scared because, you know, fake militias are invading our towns.

00:44:38.000 I never thought I would see something like this.

00:44:40.000 And then a bunch of other journalists were like, oh, I'm so scared.

00:44:42.000 I hope you're safe.

00:44:43.000 And I'm just, my response was, yeah, I feel the same way.

00:44:46.000 You know, I had to deal with that, uh, several times when the riots were happening in Chicago with my family, you know, so the police definitely need to shut this down.

00:44:54.000 But where, where, where is this, where's the outrage over the fact that for months these cities have been under siege?

00:44:59.000 Were you not concerned about your family member when the far left was burning down buildings?

00:45:04.000 It's Portland.

00:45:05.000 There's been riots going on in residential neighborhoods for months.

00:45:07.000 They physically attacked a man at her house.

00:45:09.000 You didn't think to call your family member and be concerned then?

00:45:11.000 Maybe they think that they'll be left because they're special.

00:45:14.000 Because they agree with their points of view.

00:45:16.000 Like if you paint the right things on your wall, you'll be left alone.

00:45:19.000 I just gotta say it. 1.00

00:45:20.000 I think journalists are really dumb people. 1.00

00:45:22.000 It's also possible. 1.00

00:45:23.000 I do.

00:45:25.000 And the reason I think this is, early on in the industry, I'm talking like a long, long time ago, and I guess journalism's been around for a really long time, you needed to know a lot to understand the world and create compelling information.

00:45:42.000 I think one of the reasons that, like, this show does well and, you know, I think one of the reasons probably a lot of people watch is because I do a lot of research all the time.

00:45:48.000 Right.

00:45:49.000 And so I'm very quick to be able to cite or reference certain things.

00:45:53.000 And it allows me to make better predictions because I've seen a bunch of different things and I can see a lot of the variables.

00:45:59.000 Today, it's super easy.

00:46:02.000 These news organizations don't want to pay a lot of money.

00:46:04.000 So they hire some college kid for dirt. 0.93

00:46:06.000 The kid has no skills.

00:46:07.000 And they're like, we don't care.

00:46:08.000 Just write negative things about Trump and we're golden.

00:46:11.000 Actually, Ryan Long... I was just thinking of that.

00:46:15.000 So, Ryan Long, the comedian, put out a new segment.

00:46:17.000 It was today, right?

00:46:18.000 Yeah.

00:46:19.000 Oh man, it was so good.

00:46:20.000 It's called... What is it?

00:46:21.000 It's like a news... When Trump leaves?

00:46:24.000 Yeah.

00:46:24.000 What news is going to do when Trump leaves?

00:46:27.000 And it's a bunch of people sitting around all talking about their anti-Trump articles, if he wins.

00:46:31.000 But then it turns out he loses and Joe Biden wins and they're all cheering.

00:46:34.000 And then it's like one month later and they're all sweaty, like, I need something!

00:46:37.000 What do we have?

00:46:38.000 I got nine shares on this article about the vice president being a nice lady. 1.00

00:46:42.000 She looks good today.

00:46:43.000 The press conference went smoothly.

00:46:45.000 And then someone's like, I got an article about Trump.

00:46:48.000 And he's like, no, Trump's lost.

00:46:49.000 He's just a guy now.

00:46:51.000 No one cares.

00:46:52.000 And then he gets a text message saying like, you know, they're shutting down your office and he just wanders off.

00:46:56.000 But it really is true. 0.94

00:46:58.000 So what happens when you get journalists who don't know how to do research and who don't care to do research?

00:47:03.000 That's the big issue.

00:47:04.000 They're not passionate about their jobs.

00:47:05.000 They're lazy and they just want to get through the day.

00:47:09.000 Listen, when you've got an office full of people, like all these lefty journalists who are socialists or whatever, they all tend to be supporting this stuff.

00:47:15.000 They don't want to work.

00:47:16.000 Right.

00:47:16.000 The last thing they want to do.

00:47:17.000 They're like, I shouldn't have to work.

00:47:19.000 They're like, we should have a four day work week.

00:47:21.000 Rent is fashion.

00:47:21.000 It's like, dude, I work all day, every day.

00:47:24.000 Not because I'm doing it because it's, you know what, man?

00:47:27.000 I don't know what they really want to do with their lives.

00:47:30.000 Do they want to like just sit around and have teen trumpets or something?

00:47:32.000 Probably.

00:47:33.000 So this is something that I saw a little bit when I was working in nursing too.

00:47:36.000 There were people who were in the field that I was like, you shouldn't be doing this.

00:47:40.000 You should not be here.

00:47:42.000 You should find a different job.

00:47:43.000 Why?

00:47:43.000 What were they doing?

00:47:44.000 They were insensitive.

00:47:46.000 They were impatient.

00:47:47.000 They were really sometimes dishonest.

00:47:48.000 And I was like, no, you shouldn't be doing this.

00:47:50.000 You should not be in this field at all.

00:47:52.000 I feel like all these lazy journalists, like if you don't want to do research and if you're not interested in historical stuff that happened, That's not the right field for you.

00:47:59.000 Find something else.

00:47:59.000 You know what they want?

00:48:01.000 It's a quick path.

00:48:02.000 Actually, let me start over.

00:48:04.000 I've been talking about politicians.

00:48:06.000 They're not good enough at anything to become noteworthy.

00:48:09.000 So they're like, if I can just tell people whatever it is they want to hear, and I get elected, then I'll have my name in the history books.

00:48:17.000 And I will have, yeah.

00:48:18.000 Same thing with journalists.

00:48:19.000 Yeah.

00:48:19.000 A lot of these people are narcissists who are like, everyone should know my opinion, and I shouldn't have to do any work for it.

00:48:26.000 Blue check syndrome.

00:48:27.000 Blue check syndrome.

00:48:28.000 Yeah, I've seen a lot of blue checks, you know.

00:48:32.000 They're famous.

00:48:33.000 No, no, I was going to say like the things they do, the unethical things they do, desperate for followers and retweets and everything.

00:48:39.000 And I'm just like, I roll my eyes.

00:48:40.000 I'm like, yeah, really?

00:48:42.000 I've had people hit me up asking, like, how do you get more followers?

00:48:45.000 And I was like, I don't know.

00:48:48.000 Do good work.

00:48:48.000 Dude, I was just like, you know what I do?

00:48:50.000 I go on Twitter and I just like, I say, I just tweet things.

00:48:54.000 I just, I don't even think about it.

00:48:56.000 I rarely respond to people relative to what I post.

00:49:00.000 And I just will like see an article and I'll be like, and I'll just like tweet it out.

00:49:03.000 And that's it.

00:49:03.000 Well, this is interesting.

00:49:04.000 So what a lot of these journalists end up doing is like replying to people because they're like, you know, do the reply guy thing.

00:49:10.000 I don't like the idea of depending on someone else for your, like, engagement.

00:49:14.000 Why would you not go out and talk to people on your own?

00:49:16.000 It doesn't make sense to me.

00:49:17.000 They're not good enough at anything to actually earn followers.

00:49:21.000 I'm starting to agree, and I don't think they really have enough original thought to really be famous on Twitter on their own.

00:49:26.000 Look at these reply guys who will, like, whenever Trump tweets, they respond immediately.

00:49:30.000 But look at their sole tweets.

00:49:33.000 Like, go to their Twitter account and look at their just regular tweets, and there's no engagement.

00:49:36.000 They're so—they're boring.

00:49:38.000 Like, they don't have—they really don't have original thoughts that they tweet out.

00:49:41.000 All they do is reply. 0.98

00:49:42.000 No, I mean, you know, even—what I mean is, they might tweet something at Trump like, you stink and you're orange. 0.98

00:49:48.000 A million retweets. 0.87

00:49:49.000 But then they'll tweet something like, I like a grilled cheese sandwich, and it gets 10.

00:49:52.000 Yeah.

00:49:55.000 Whatever it is they're doing, they're getting little to no engagement, but I'll tell you what, man, some people are making insane amounts of money, like six figures.

00:50:02.000 No joke.

00:50:02.000 On Twitter?

00:50:03.000 Yeah, from selling stuff.

00:50:05.000 Oh, okay.

00:50:05.000 And donate to my Patreon, and here's my PayPal.

00:50:08.000 Yeah.

00:50:09.000 That's the creepy game of Twitter.

00:50:12.000 People need to realize this, because I've been looking at some of these activist threads, and you'll see it.

00:50:17.000 They'll post something like, can you believe our president is orange?

00:50:21.000 Why is our president orange? 1.00

00:50:22.000 Isn't that dumb? 1.00

00:50:22.000 And it's got a million retweets. 1.00

00:50:24.000 The next tweet is, donate to my PayPal to support me.

00:50:27.000 If they get 100 million impressions on that, and they got that link, and they, I mean, what, they could probably get a couple grand.

00:50:35.000 Yeah. 0.92

00:50:36.000 I doubt they're actually getting anything near that, but if they get 50 bucks every time they do it, they're incentivized to produce the most psychotic garbage imaginable.

00:50:45.000 I don't like monetizing that.

00:50:47.000 Yeah, I know.

00:50:48.000 Well, they want them retweets.

00:50:49.000 Let's talk about this right here.

00:50:50.000 Check this out.

00:50:51.000 So this is one of the replies to this tweet from Felicia Sanmez, who said, The DHS and DOJ are announcing a joint operations center to investigate violent left-wing civil unrest, Trump says.

00:51:02.000 This is a screen grab with 102.7 thousand retweets.

00:51:07.000 I want to make sure you can see it right there.

00:51:09.000 102.7k.

00:51:09.000 He says, The history of Nazis holding rallies in left-wing areas of Weimar Germany, instigating street fights, and then telling the press that only they could save Germany from the violent communists seems like an important thing for people to be studying right now.

00:51:26.000 Wow, is that a gross mischaracterization of what's happening now, and what happened back then!

00:51:31.000 Do you know where Antifa comes from?

00:51:34.000 Tell me, Tim.

00:51:35.000 I'm sorry, from Weimar, Germany.

00:51:37.000 It was the German Communist Party.

00:51:40.000 Anti-fascist action, or whatever it is.

00:51:43.000 So what's really been going on, and I've talked about this quite a bit going back to the Battle of Berkeley several years ago.

00:51:52.000 The far left is targeting peaceful rallies, and a lot of people criticize these Trump supporters for going to left-wing areas and holding rallies.

00:52:02.000 They didn't start any violence.

00:52:04.000 In Berkeley, for instance, a bunch of Trump supporters went to the Free Speech Plaza or whatever, because it was historical Berkeley, you know, 1970s.

00:52:11.000 And then Antifa showed up and started beating and attacking people, throwing explosives, pulling out knives, improvised explosives and things like that.

00:52:17.000 And I'm like, OK, no one made you attack these people.

00:52:21.000 You didn't have to do that.

00:52:23.000 They decided to do it anyway.

00:52:24.000 And now they're claiming it's the Trump supporters who are bad here.

00:52:27.000 But the important factor, the important difference, which faction is going around demanding people salute them?

00:52:35.000 With their arm outstretched in front of them? 0.68

00:52:38.000 Probably the right-wingers, since they're Nazis.

00:52:41.000 Who's got their right arm straight out in front of them and demand other people are doing it right now?

00:52:46.000 I get it.

00:52:47.000 The only difference between the Nazi salute and what Black Lives Matter is doing is they make a fist. 0.93

00:52:51.000 That's right.

00:52:51.000 I was going to say, you see, there's a huge difference because their fist is closed.

00:52:55.000 It's not straight ahead of them.

00:52:57.000 And I'm not even going to imitate that.

00:52:59.000 So, we've seen the photos and videos.

00:53:01.000 They go to diners, they harass and attack people.

00:53:04.000 And then you get one Trump rally, one, in Portland, okay?

00:53:09.000 Where they drove their trucks through, and then here it is, a hundred thousand retweets.

00:53:13.000 I knew this was gonna happen.

00:53:15.000 That's why I think, you know, Cernovich said, stay home, make money, and go vote.

00:53:20.000 Absolutely.

00:53:21.000 My thing is speak up.

00:53:23.000 And we talked about this a few weeks ago where I was saying, you know, like old ladies defending a statue is better optics and everything. 0.97

00:53:30.000 Yeah.

00:53:31.000 But speaking up is the most important thing in your workplace.

00:53:34.000 And I think it's, I don't know if staying home is the right answer.

00:53:37.000 I don't know what the right answer is, but I'll tell you this.

00:53:40.000 You drive your car with a Trump flag and they will claim that militias are invading cities.

00:53:44.000 I saw today somebody compare it to ISIS, the trucks that drive through Iraq with ISIS flags in the back.

00:53:49.000 Yeah, they called it Vanilla ISIS.

00:53:52.000 It's like, well, it was Antifa that just executed a guy in the street.

00:53:57.000 I mean, that sounds a little ISIS-y, if you ask me. 0.56

00:54:00.000 What do I know?

00:54:01.000 The horrifying thing about this, I was thinking about it, are there any stories of Trump supporters, just like a dude in a MAGA hat walking up and executing a leftist or anything like that?

00:54:10.000 Nope.

00:54:11.000 No, and you know how I know?

00:54:13.000 Because that would be front page international news for a month if that happened.

00:54:18.000 Such a thing has not happened, and it won't happen.

00:54:22.000 I pray not.

00:54:24.000 I'm really hoping nothing like that happens because now I'm terrified of what happens if a group like Patriot Prayer decides to try to retaliate.

00:54:32.000 I'm worried.

00:54:32.000 Or if Patriot Prayer decides to do a march.

00:54:37.000 Yeah.

00:54:37.000 That's it.

00:54:38.000 Then you're going to have all of these Democrat operatives and the press sitting in their chairs salivating like, you step on a twig and we are going to write a front page story claiming you did horrifying things.

00:54:51.000 Tim, they're having one on the 26th.

00:54:53.000 That's such a bad idea.

00:54:57.000 Here's the challenge.

00:54:58.000 Do we tell them, like, do not go out and express yourselves under the First Amendment?

00:55:02.000 That's not fair.

00:55:03.000 That makes me mad.

00:55:03.000 I know.

00:55:04.000 And that's what the left wants.

00:55:05.000 They can create this circumstance.

00:55:08.000 I should say the far left, these extremists, they want to create a circumstance where the right knows that if they step out of line in any way and they've come out, they'll start the fight and the press will defend the extremists.

00:55:18.000 This is kind of clever because you're not actually saying you cannot come out.

00:55:21.000 You're not actually saying you may not speak.

00:55:24.000 You are telling them that if they do, they'll suffer for it.

00:55:27.000 But they're not actually, they're not overtly saying it's all very covert.

00:55:31.000 And of course, because the media has their back, it's going to work.

00:55:33.000 That's tough.

00:55:36.000 Again, I want to be careful when I say this.

00:55:38.000 I think it was Mike Cernovich who said, stay home, make money, vote, or whatever.

00:55:41.000 I don't want to misattribute quotes to somebody who didn't say it, but someone tweeted it.

00:55:45.000 I think it was Mike.

00:55:46.000 The point is, man, that's tough.

00:55:49.000 We all have rights.

00:55:51.000 We can go out and wave little flags if we want to.

00:55:53.000 And getting attacked by Antifa, that's messed up that the media does this.

00:55:57.000 It's why I rag on them so much.

00:55:59.000 This whole episode is me ragging on the media.

00:56:00.000 Well, yeah, of course, because the media controls what people think of the world way more than they should.

00:56:05.000 We give them far more power and far more credit than we should.

00:56:08.000 So they need to be held to account.

00:56:10.000 I was thinking something earlier today, you know, that actually gave me hope.

00:56:14.000 I think the media class is on the verge of collapse entirely, even though we're seeing ratings go up and everything.

00:56:19.000 We were joking just a moment ago about if Trump loses, like they're wiped out.

00:56:24.000 Right.

00:56:25.000 And I feel like That, what we're seeing right now, even with Tucker Carlson, is Trump is inflating all media viewership.

00:56:34.000 I think everything drops dramatically if Trump loses, but internet shows, particularly like this one, are going to survive and flourish.

00:56:44.000 I was thinking about something, and I'm going to, I mentioned, I think I mentioned this last week, but I was thinking about it again today, especially with Donald Trump tweeting, liking my tweet.

00:56:52.000 Why didn't anybody ask me anything?

00:56:55.000 No one's talked to you about it?

00:56:57.000 No one's asked anything about it.

00:56:58.000 Something really funny happened.

00:57:00.000 So apparently some people on Wikipedia have been complaining my career stops at 2017.

00:57:06.000 The media just stopped talking about me.

00:57:08.000 Why is that?

00:57:09.000 I don't know.

00:57:09.000 And I think it's funny.

00:57:12.000 Well, I have a general idea.

00:57:13.000 And I know this may seem like I rarely talk about myself this directly, but in the past month with YouTube podcast and Facebook, it's over 100 million views across all of my content.

00:57:25.000 And, uh, it's like, you know, three hours and 40 minutes a day of content.

00:57:29.000 So it's, it's kind of, it's, it's, these are big numbers.

00:57:34.000 Apparently, uh, I'm getting hit by people, you know, Trump is liking my tweet, I'm getting a bunch of attention, and the media completely ignores everything about me.

00:57:41.000 In fact, somebody tweeted about me saying something critical, and some other leftist replied, who?

00:57:46.000 Like, haha, no one, no one cares who he is.

00:57:49.000 There's a really funny tweet about a year ago or so, where some leftist journalist tweeted something like, Whatever happened to that Tim Pool guy?

00:57:55.000 It's so sad.

00:57:56.000 He was getting six figures working for these companies and now he's got like a crappy little Patreon getting like a thousand bucks.

00:58:01.000 Because I don't use Patreon.

00:58:02.000 Right.

00:58:02.000 They're just like sitting there.

00:58:03.000 And I'm just like, it's really amazing.

00:58:06.000 And I think this, you know, when I reflect on myself and my work, is a really good example of how broken the media is and why it's going to die.

00:58:12.000 It's simple.

00:58:13.000 If they had any idea what was actually going on outside of their mainstream bubble, their Beltway bubble, the kind of conversations people were having, then they'd be like, what's up with this dude who's getting 100 million views a month, per month, who just got a like from the president?

00:58:29.000 Instead, all these outlets that were talking about Trump liking my tweet were saying things like, Trump liked a tweet, you know, from a user saying, Kyle Rittenhouse is a good example of why I decided to vote for the president.

00:58:40.000 They didn't stop to be like, this guy's got 650,000 followers and like, who is he?

00:58:45.000 And look into me.

00:58:46.000 None of that.

00:58:46.000 Nothing at all.

00:58:47.000 So does this make you feel like super famous or super stealthy or kind of annoyed?

00:58:52.000 Neither.

00:58:53.000 It makes me feel like there's two realities happening.

00:58:56.000 And it's true. 0.56

00:58:57.000 Like you look at CNN and man, do they have no idea what's going on.

00:59:01.000 But how could it be that, you know, like right now, 52,541 people watching live, you guys are awesome by the way, are watching live and, you know, having conversations, talking about all this, and they have no idea it's happening.

00:59:14.000 That's crazy.

00:59:14.000 This is it.

00:59:15.000 I don't think there is a silent majority.

00:59:17.000 No, I think there's a silent group of people that are scared to speak up.

00:59:22.000 Sure.

00:59:23.000 But I think people are speaking up. 0.99

00:59:25.000 I think the mainstream media is a circle of people all staring at each other's butts.

00:59:31.000 And it's like, yo, we're over here, are you watching what's happening?

00:59:34.000 Your industry is collapsing.

00:59:37.000 So I guess the way I put it is, the New York Times subscriber base is going up while every other news organization is collapsing, giving this false idea to these journalists that they're doing better when they're actually going down the drain.

00:59:49.000 If they had any idea the conversations that were happening outside of the Beltway bubble among moderate, disaffected liberals, the politically homeless, and conservatives... You mean everyone?

00:59:57.000 Normal people?

00:59:59.000 They'd be writing a lot more about this phenomenon.

01:00:02.000 I had someone comment on a post of mine earlier about walk away and they were like it's not real. It was a

01:00:08.000 lefty guy. He's like it's not real, people aren't walking away, there's no real data on it. And

01:00:12.000 I was like did you see all the C-SPAN phone calls? And his response was, you know, he's like that's

01:00:18.000 not real data, those are anecdotes, it means nothing. And I mentioned Axios actually wrote an

01:00:23.000 article about this saying that Republicans are closing the gap with registered voters, with Democrats,

01:00:31.000 over registered voters.

01:00:32.000 And it's not because they're registering new voters.

01:00:34.000 It's two big reasons.

01:00:36.000 This is according to Axios.

01:00:37.000 People are leaving the Democratic Party or they're switching parties, which is giving Republicans a boost and narrowing the gap between the two parties.

01:00:45.000 I think that proves there is data.

01:00:48.000 This is from Cook Political Analysis or whatever.

01:00:50.000 Walk away is a real phenomenon.

01:00:53.000 I think the media is a little bit like Inspector Clouseau and the Pink Panther, who is really bumbling.

01:00:58.000 And I feel like they're staring with their little magnifying glass.

01:01:02.000 They're looking for clues and they're looking in a dark corner and everyone's behind them.

01:01:06.000 And they're like, what are they doing?

01:01:08.000 We're right here.

01:01:09.000 They're like, there's no one here. 1.00

01:01:10.000 You guys are crazy. 0.98

01:01:12.000 I don't know what you guys are talking about. 1.00

01:01:13.000 There's no silent majority.

01:01:15.000 I think we're getting to the point and, you know, when you see Brian Stelter on CNN and he says something and you're just like, dude, do you have Google?

01:01:23.000 Like, what is this?

01:01:24.000 Because they all get their news from Twitter and they all follow each other on Twitter.

01:01:28.000 And there have been progressive journalism professors who said people have an unhealthy Twitter obsession and these journalists need to get off of it.

01:01:35.000 I remember when there was a big trend where I think it was BuzzFeed.

01:01:38.000 I'm not sure.

01:01:39.000 They ordered their staff.

01:01:40.000 Oh, no, no, no.

01:01:40.000 It was like Outline or something or Dateline.

01:01:42.000 I don't remember.

01:01:43.000 They ordered their staff to not use Twitter for a week.

01:01:46.000 To, like, actually do journalism.

01:01:49.000 Thank you for this look on your face.

01:01:50.000 Wow.

01:01:51.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:01:52.000 And I don't know what happened with it.

01:01:53.000 How did that go?

01:01:54.000 I don't remember.

01:01:54.000 I don't know.

01:01:55.000 But it reminds me a bit of what the Ryan Long comedy sketch earlier.

01:01:59.000 Yeah.

01:02:00.000 So if you haven't seen it, you definitely got to see Ryan Long's comedy sketch.

01:02:02.000 But in it, he says, there's like one guy, Stephen King and who else?

01:02:07.000 I don't know.

01:02:08.000 They're not on Twitter anymore.

01:02:08.000 What am I supposed to do?

01:02:10.000 What am I supposed to do?

01:02:11.000 Come up with an article out of thin air?

01:02:12.000 And the other guy is like, is there a template for like what people used to do?

01:02:16.000 Dude, Ryan nails a bunch of stuff.

01:02:19.000 He's like, what are these people going to do after Trump's gone?

01:02:22.000 And on our show, he was talking about how they're going to, like, pack it up in a suitcase and just walk out into the ocean.

01:02:26.000 I was like, yeah, what are they supposed to do?

01:02:30.000 Slowly into the sunset and just walk under the water.

01:02:33.000 Into the water and they're gone.

01:02:34.000 I don't know.

01:02:35.000 Dude, it's so weird because I look, you know, people have said the similar things to me.

01:02:40.000 Clearly, I just rag on Democrats all the time, right?

01:02:42.000 Therefore, once the political battle is over, what am I going to talk about?

01:02:46.000 And I'm like, I'm gonna go back to talking about the exact thing I was talking about, because I was making content for the last several years.

01:02:51.000 I have a video about cultural issues.

01:02:53.000 I have a video, I'm pretty sure it's still this way on my main channel, Timcast, that the default video is me talking about Jordan Peterson and cultural issues.

01:03:01.000 Yeah, I love that video.

01:03:02.000 Nothing to do with politics.

01:03:03.000 But politics became the top tier pop culture, and so I certainly jumped in the fray.

01:03:10.000 I think we'll see a couple things.

01:03:14.000 If Trump leaves, there's a good likelihood they won't stop doing what they do.

01:03:19.000 They'll just replace Trump's name with something similar.

01:03:23.000 For sure.

01:03:24.000 They'll find something.

01:03:25.000 They'll lie.

01:03:26.000 I mean, you know, maybe I should take that back.

01:03:29.000 I think they're already squeezing, like, you know, it's, it's, you know, what is it, extra virgin olive oil is when they, like, get the first fresh drop, and then... Yeah.

01:03:37.000 Oh, no, that's extra, extra, isn't it?

01:03:38.000 Yeah, I don't, I don't know.

01:03:39.000 Basically, you've got a dry, withered husk of an olive, and they're, like, pounding it with a mallet, like, give me something!

01:03:44.000 There's, there's, or, or, better, better way to put it, they're scraping the bottle, they're scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard, they're pulling up wood chips.

01:03:50.000 You know, people started telling me, oh, man, I'm seeing a bunch of wood chips lately, and I was like, oh, I know, right?

01:03:55.000 When they write a story, like Vox did, where they said something like, what did they say, 40 million Americans have alt-right ideas or something?

01:04:03.000 Yeah, Google that, can you Google that?

01:04:05.000 Something like that.

01:04:06.000 It's clearly not true.

01:04:09.000 And they're just like...

01:04:10.000 Well, uh, white nationalists drink water and, you know, 40 million Americans prefer water.

01:04:16.000 Therefore, did you find it?

01:04:17.000 11 million Americans think like alt-right?

01:04:20.000 Yeah.

01:04:20.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:04:21.000 So this is actually from a little while ago, but they're saying that millions and millions of white Americans are just thinking on the same lines as the, you know, charlatan people.

01:04:27.000 That's right, because they like cats.

01:04:30.000 Yes, apparently.

01:04:31.000 Oh gosh.

01:04:32.000 That's literally the game they're playing.

01:04:33.000 They're like, well, the white nationalists believe that we should have strong borders.

01:04:36.000 Therefore, these people think like them. 0.94

01:04:39.000 Dude, I have no patience for that nonsense because it is possible to have.

01:04:44.000 So what I notice a lot is just a tiny little grain of truth at the bottom of everything. 0.73

01:04:49.000 And you can go the wrong way with it, like white nationalists, or you can be sane and reasonable about it, like a normal person. 0.88

01:04:55.000 But the fact that there is a common grain of truth, they just run wild with it, and it's nonsense. 0.63

01:05:02.000 It's getting to the point where it's really difficult to actually cover anything.

01:05:07.000 So, for instance, there have been several stories that I know to be true and have fact-checked, but NewsGuard, the third-party fact-checking source, will give it like, no, this is a bad source.

01:05:17.000 And then you'll get, actually here's a really good example.

01:05:20.000 Take a look at this story from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

01:05:22.000 This is one of the first stories we highlighted.

01:05:24.000 Oh yeah.

01:05:24.000 Trump mischaracterizes Kenosha protest shootings, defends Rittenhouse.

01:05:28.000 Okay.

01:05:29.000 We got three journalists on this one claiming that because Trump said Rittenhouse was attacked and he may have been killed, he's mischaracterizing it.

01:05:36.000 I mean, that's an opinion.

01:05:37.000 Yeah.

01:05:38.000 Does it say opinion on here?

01:05:39.000 It does not.

01:05:40.000 It says elections.

01:05:41.000 Nope.

01:05:41.000 It doesn't say an opinion anywhere.

01:05:43.000 So this is an opinion story.

01:05:45.000 Whether or not he mischaracterized it, they're asserting it as a fact.

01:05:47.000 Well, of course, NewsGuard says the only strike they get is for not disclosing financing.

01:05:53.000 Not failing to differentiate fact from opinion.

01:05:56.000 That's fine.

01:05:56.000 Yeah, that looks fine.

01:05:58.000 Now, to be fair, I guess they could argue it was just one time they did this.

01:06:02.000 Media Matters for America, which writes conspiracy theories and lies all day, is green.

01:06:07.000 It's, like, good to go.

01:06:07.000 Seriously.

01:06:08.000 Yeah.

01:06:09.000 So, we're coming to a point where... This is the point I'm trying to make, okay?

01:06:14.000 So, look, I wasn't trying to toot my own horn when I was talking about my viewership.

01:06:19.000 The point I'm trying to make is...

01:06:21.000 If people on Wikipedia are saying things like, Tim Pool's career stopped at 2017, and there's no new information about him at all on anything he's done yet, like since he left Fusion, how do we update this?

01:06:33.000 And like, apparently people are saying things about, I recently came out in support of Trump, therefore they should add it, and they're like, there's no articles about this.

01:06:40.000 Nobody cares!

01:06:41.000 I love it.

01:06:42.000 Could you imagine what would, like, remember when Joe Rogan said he would rather vote for Trump over Biden, not even committed?

01:06:48.000 Right.

01:06:48.000 And it was like every paper ever wrote about it?

01:06:50.000 Yes, there are articles about that.

01:06:52.000 It's so weird.

01:06:52.000 Yeah.

01:06:53.000 It's so weird.

01:06:54.000 You know why?

01:06:54.000 I think because these people still, like, they use iTunes.

01:06:58.000 So when they open the app, they see Joe Rogan.

01:07:00.000 So they know it.

01:07:01.000 Right.

01:07:01.000 But they're not attuned to what's going on with the Internet and regular people and where they're consuming news in digital ways.

01:07:06.000 So they have no idea that conversations like this happen every single day to, I think, what we're at... 3.5 million viewers per day across all my content.

01:07:19.000 And the media isn't talking about it.

01:07:21.000 And that is kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy, because I think to them, if an article is not written about something that happens, it didn't happen.

01:07:30.000 Which is really interesting.

01:07:31.000 The best part.

01:07:32.000 I tweeted this.

01:07:33.000 Well, actually, maybe I didn't tweet it.

01:07:35.000 Maybe I was about to when I deleted it.

01:07:36.000 How is Wikipedia supposed to function as an encyclopedia if the only criteria for recording important historical information is that some 22-year-old college grad who makes 30,000 a year has to blog about it?

01:07:50.000 That's a great question.

01:07:52.000 Certainly it is of merit that, you know, like the work I do and over the past several years, but the journalists don't know what's happening.

01:08:00.000 So again, I'm not trying to humblebrag or anything.

01:08:03.000 I mean it sincerely.

01:08:04.000 The point I'm trying to bring up is that there's a substantial audience here.

01:08:09.000 The media has no idea it's happening while their ship is sinking.

01:08:12.000 We're all on a ship sailing towards golden shores and rainbows and you know people are having piña colada and they're singing and their ship is headed towards the waterfall and they're going full speed ahead I think there's land that way and we're like what are Going the wrong way.

01:08:29.000 It's like blockbuster video, man.

01:08:31.000 Yeah, Netflix.

01:08:32.000 Yeah.

01:08:32.000 Well, they've simultaneously gotten bigger and bigger heads as they've engaged on social media and gotten more and more followers.

01:08:39.000 At the same time, their quality is decreasing as they're outsourcing and they forget, you know, how to Google things and how to research things and how to actually do investigative journalism.

01:08:49.000 Like the guy who did the piece for The New York Times, I think it was Christian, whatever his last name was.

01:08:54.000 That was impressive.

01:08:55.000 I was like, he actually he used to work for Sorry, he used to work for Bellingcat, and he actually did investigative journalism.

01:09:02.000 So he actually knows what it's like to get out on the ground.

01:09:06.000 To do research.

01:09:06.000 To do the research, yeah.

01:09:07.000 That's good they hired him.

01:09:08.000 Right.

01:09:08.000 And now he's got a factual piece of video.

01:09:11.000 Like, I looked at all the videos too.

01:09:12.000 I saw similar things, and I saw some journalists bring up these things.

01:09:15.000 But so long as you have many of these underpaid, low-quality, fake news... What do we call them?

01:09:21.000 What do you call them?

01:09:22.000 Activists.

01:09:22.000 Yeah.

01:09:23.000 Then you're going to get bad information.

01:09:24.000 They're basically like interns, kind of, because you're saying like the 22-year-old who writes

01:09:28.000 about Brad Pitt's junk for $50,000 a year.

01:09:32.000 No, no, no, not the intern. 0.98

01:09:34.000 Not the intern.

01:09:35.000 No, they got like $10 an hour.

01:09:36.000 Oh, okay, okay, okay.

01:09:37.000 Then just activists.

01:09:38.000 Well, they lower the quality at the same time the journalists are getting to feel more and

01:09:42.000 more important because they have fake followers on social media because they reply to Trump.

01:09:47.000 Or to each other.

01:09:50.000 You know, I noticed this too.

01:09:52.000 They prop up their friends to give them followings.

01:09:56.000 And that's one of the issues.

01:09:57.000 I think one of the easiest ways to explain it actually If you have one person, and they have 100,000 followers, and that one person says, hey everybody, follow Jim!

01:10:06.000 Right.

01:10:07.000 Then Jim gets 60,000 followers.

01:10:08.000 Then Jim says, hey everybody, follow Bill!

01:10:10.000 And then Bill gets 40,000 followers.

01:10:12.000 That's still part of the same group of 100,000 from the first journalist.

01:10:15.000 Yeah, that's something that I think about.

01:10:17.000 I'm like, if someone recommends me followers, I'm not really getting new followers.

01:10:21.000 I'm just, we're just kind of sharing followers now.

01:10:23.000 Exactly.

01:10:23.000 Like, that's not really an improvement, I don't really think.

01:10:25.000 So this is actually a clever tactic that... I won't name the business, but... Business model.

01:10:32.000 So what you can do is you can duplicate your follower count for advertisers by creating new accounts and having people follow multiple accounts of yours.

01:10:40.000 So you create a Twitter account, you get 100,000 followers, you create a second account, and you say, hey everybody, follow me on this account too.

01:10:46.000 Then you can say, I have 150,000 followers.

01:10:47.000 You can say, I have 150,000 followers.

01:10:49.000 They imagine 150,000 people standing around when in fact it's the same 100,000.

01:10:54.000 But you do that 10 times and you have a network now and you say, our network has over a million

01:10:58.000 followers.

01:10:59.000 And it's actually the same 100,000 just following a bunch of different accounts.

01:11:03.000 You're gaming it.

01:11:05.000 I mean, it's clever.

01:11:06.000 It's not technically a lie, but it's not completely honest.

01:11:12.000 So if you want to lead people to assume things... Anyway, the point I'm bringing up is, these journalists probably have a much smaller user base than they realize, but they see all these journals, all these followers, and think that they're big, when in reality it's like, you know, a smaller group between them.

01:11:25.000 Maybe not.

01:11:26.000 Maybe, you know, it's a larger group, but I think that still is a big... plays a big role in this.

01:11:31.000 Well, I think that's part of having a bubble in the first place, is following the same journalists and having the same ideas and kicking the same things around and retweeting to the same people and getting those retweets and comments and everything.

01:11:41.000 It's just so tiresome.

01:11:44.000 How do you break people out of this bubble is the hardest question, I guess.

01:11:48.000 You gotta pop it.

01:11:49.000 No, you can't.

01:11:52.000 We've really dived into a lot of the Kyle Rittenhouse stuff today and Trump's answers.

01:11:56.000 There's nothing I could say to my progressive SAW friends to convince them that they're wrong.

01:12:03.000 Literally nothing.

01:12:05.000 I could send them a video and be like, here's him being attacked, and they go, I don't care.

01:12:10.000 I don't know what to do about that.

01:12:11.000 It's ignorance and apathy.

01:12:13.000 They don't care and they don't know.

01:12:14.000 And how are you supposed to change whether someone cares about something?

01:12:18.000 You know, Karlyn Borisenko.

01:12:19.000 I pronounced her name right, right?

01:12:21.000 Yeah.

01:12:21.000 Karlyn!

01:12:21.000 Yeah.

01:12:21.000 Pronounce your name right.

01:12:22.000 Karlyn, we're trying.

01:12:23.000 Yeah.

01:12:24.000 She tweeted something like, I thought Tim Cass was being hyperbolic when he talked about Civil War after seeing, what's it, Val Demings, I think her name was, say this is just what happens, you know, the guy gets shot in Portland.

01:12:33.000 Part and parcel, baby.

01:12:34.000 Yeah, I may as well have just pulled a Siddiq Khan. 0.98

01:12:40.000 Paraphrasing basically that she thought I was being hyperbolic and it turns out I probably wasn't.

01:12:45.000 When a year ago, one year ago, I had some people over to my house, some video producers, and they were talking to me about potential projects and what they wanted to focus on, and I told them, here's what's going to happen in the next year and here's what you need to understand.

01:13:03.000 And I'm not kidding when I say I predicted the BLM riots 100%. 0.97

01:13:08.000 They didn't believe me. 0.99

01:13:09.000 They were like, that's ridiculous, that's crazy. 1.00

01:13:11.000 That's crazy, come on. 0.84

01:13:12.000 But my prediction was based on the fact that it already happened in 2013, 2014, 2015.

01:13:16.000 I wasn't just making up random things like, ooh, and then riots will happen over racial issues.

01:13:20.000 Ooh, you're looking at your crystal ball again, huh?

01:13:22.000 I was like, this is what's going to happen next, it's going to be crazy.

01:13:25.000 And I'm like, and it's going to get bad and people are going to die.

01:13:26.000 And they're like, this is nuts.

01:13:27.000 And I'm like, it's going to be some kind of civil war, I don't know, you can call it whatever you want.

01:13:31.000 It's not going to be the way we imagined civil war, but I don't know, what else would you call it?

01:13:35.000 So do you think Obama made it worse?

01:13:37.000 Definitely.

01:13:38.000 How so?

01:13:41.000 So when it came to Trayvon Martin, the story between Trayvon and Zimmerman is extremely complicated.

01:13:46.000 And Zimmerman, for instance, is Hispanic.

01:13:49.000 He was like a white Hispanic guy.

01:13:50.000 So is Kyle.

01:13:52.000 Kyle Rittenhouse.

01:13:53.000 right now also Hispanic. But you know Barack Obama's whole perspective on it was the left

01:13:59.000 wing perspective if I had a kid he looked like Trayvon instead of calling for unity

01:14:03.000 and saying you know we need to understand sometimes these circumstances are tragic unfortunate

01:14:09.000 and violence and death happens and that's why we need to make sure this doesn't happen

01:14:13.000 and we need to we need to expand beyond the people while respecting those who lost their

01:14:16.000 lives calling for justice recognize this is a systemic issue that needs to be solved.

01:14:21.000 What I mean, what I mean...

01:14:23.000 What I mean by systemic is like in the instance of Breonna Taylor, it's not about racism, it's about no-knock warrants.

01:14:28.000 Right.

01:14:28.000 So Rand Paul says, hey, none of these.

01:14:30.000 And I understand some people have some good reasons for no-knock warrants.

01:14:34.000 I prefer no.

01:14:35.000 I think they have to announce themselves and they can make a perimeter.

01:14:40.000 You can't, because people have a right to defend themselves too, and you're creating a circumstance to put potentially innocent people in harm's way.

01:14:47.000 So that's one of the things he could have done.

01:14:49.000 But more importantly, it was Obama and Biden during all of that stuff.

01:14:53.000 They consistently took the left-wing view of everything.

01:14:57.000 The right was bad, of course it was. 0.78

01:14:58.000 The National Guard was deployed to Ferguson.

01:15:01.000 They sent out police, very much so under Obama's watch.

01:15:05.000 Racial tensions escalated, particularly with the Black Lives Matter.

01:15:08.000 See, people have a hard time believing me when I tell them that.

01:15:11.000 I'm like, I really think that Obama did more to undermine race relations in this country than you could possibly imagine that the first black president would. 0.97

01:15:19.000 And people are like, are you crazy? 0.66

01:15:20.000 But I don't think it's that much, though.

01:15:22.000 You don't think it was?

01:15:23.000 Like, OK, so listen, off the top of my head, it's the thing he mentioned, if I had a kid, Trayvon, and it's very much— Baltimore and Ferguson and stuff.

01:15:30.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:15:31.000 But I don't think it's Trump's fault, and I don't think it was Obama's fault.

01:15:37.000 I think there's definitely things that Trump and Obama said or did that contribute.

01:15:40.000 They're the president, of course.

01:15:42.000 But I think the fault of these issues, for the most part, lands in localities.

01:15:46.000 It lands in the media, and for the most part, the media and the activists.

01:15:49.000 Okay, but do you think that because the media was entirely in Obama's pocket, do you think that they gave him more credence than he might have even necessarily deserved when he was saying his race-based things?

01:16:01.000 Of course.

01:16:01.000 Absolutely.

01:16:01.000 Yeah, way more than they give Trump.

01:16:02.000 And then, because they go after Trump, they fan the flames of this.

01:16:05.000 The media, in my opinion, is the biggest player here, and I think social media as well.

01:16:11.000 For instance, Cassandra Fairbanks got suspended from Twitter, she's a conservative journalist, because she tweeted that Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing wrong.

01:16:19.000 Right.

01:16:20.000 They suspended her for an opinion over an individual who has not been convicted.

01:16:25.000 Yet Antifa is actively organizing on the platform.

01:16:29.000 Social media is to blame.

01:16:31.000 Media in general is to blame.

01:16:32.000 And they go hand in hand.

01:16:33.000 These fake news journalists defend censorship.

01:16:36.000 They say, but they lie.

01:16:39.000 Oh, the lies, man.

01:16:40.000 Cassandra Fairbanks gets suspended.

01:16:42.000 And they say there's no bias against conservatives.

01:16:45.000 Well, hold on.

01:16:47.000 Antifa is on the platform saying, hey, everyone we're meeting here, bring sticks.

01:16:50.000 Right.

01:16:51.000 Like, okay, I'm exaggerating.

01:16:52.000 But they'll be like, bring supplies to help defend, you know, the community.

01:16:57.000 That's okay.

01:16:58.000 So I would say that the media wields even more power than almost any politician.

01:17:02.000 Yes, absolutely.

01:17:03.000 How is that okay?

01:17:04.000 It's not okay.

01:17:06.000 Well, it's not so much whether it's okay or it's not okay.

01:17:08.000 The issue is they're unchecked.

01:17:10.000 And anybody who dares challenge them, they smear.

01:17:14.000 I mean, I'm not gonna get into it, but Gamergate, for instance, was very, like, from my view of what it was, and I probably don't know a whole lot about it, you get a bunch of people saying, hey, these journalists are taking money from the advertisers, and then they're writing bunk articles, and the next day they're like, a bunch of white supremacists are harassing us.

01:17:33.000 Uh-huh.

01:17:34.000 Weird, right?

01:17:35.000 Yeah.

01:17:35.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

01:17:36.000 So look, I already know that even bringing it up, I'm going to get a bunch of people being like, here's what really happened.

01:17:41.000 And the left is being like, how dare you defend?

01:17:44.000 They still talk about Gamergate.

01:17:45.000 The left still says, like, Trump is the Gamergate president or whatever.

01:17:48.000 And it's like, you know what's funny?

01:17:52.000 Who was it who tweeted this?

01:17:53.000 I think it was Oliver Darcy.

01:17:55.000 Claiming that the right defending Rittenhouse is the definition of radicalization.

01:17:59.000 Yes.

01:18:00.000 That was him, right?

01:18:01.000 That was him.

01:18:01.000 So he's CNN guy for Sunday morning.

01:18:03.000 And I'm just like, okay, let's play a game.

01:18:05.000 Let's define radicalization.

01:18:07.000 How about do this?

01:18:08.000 Can you Google search the word?

01:18:09.000 Yeah, I'll Google that right now.

01:18:09.000 We're going to play a game.

01:18:10.000 Define radicalization.

01:18:12.000 Radicalization's definition.

01:18:14.000 Can't spell it.

01:18:15.000 What does Google say?

01:18:16.000 OK, it says, the action or process of causing someone to adopt radical positions on political or social issues.

01:18:22.000 Wait, this sounds like... OK, go on, what were you going to say?

01:18:24.000 OK, so radicalization.

01:18:26.000 That's the name of the game.

01:18:27.000 All right.

01:18:27.000 Is it radical to suggest border security?

01:18:30.000 Nope.

01:18:30.000 No, because the Democrats were in favor of it a decade ago.

01:18:33.000 I mean, even Hillary Clinton in the past election cycle was saying we needed some kind of border security.

01:18:37.000 OK, OK.

01:18:38.000 Is it radical to suggest that we should bolster the economy, bring factories back and help the middle class get jobs?

01:18:45.000 Absolutely not.

01:18:46.000 Okay.

01:18:48.000 I don't know.

01:18:48.000 What else do we got?

01:18:49.000 Is it radical to suggest that the United States should be able to defend itself and that its allies should pay their fair share towards defense spending when we send our troops over to their jurisdiction?

01:18:57.000 No, that seems fair.

01:18:58.000 Yeah, because we've been doing it for decades.

01:18:59.000 Right.

01:18:59.000 Okay.

01:19:00.000 Is it radical to suggest we should remove our troops from the Middle East and from other unnecessary endless wars?

01:19:05.000 Absolutely not.

01:19:06.000 No, because the left has been calling for it for decades.

01:19:08.000 Up until Trump called for it.

01:19:10.000 Is it radical to suggest that we should overhaul and abolish our private healthcare system and replace it with pure government spending?

01:19:16.000 Yes.

01:19:17.000 That's completely radical.

01:19:18.000 That's insanity.

01:19:20.000 Is it radical to suggest we should build trains and phase out air travel and ban all fossil fuels?

01:19:29.000 So yes, yes, because radical, if we got into the definition of radicalization, but the word radical, the root word, especially of a change or action relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something far-reaching or thorough.

01:19:45.000 Okay.

01:19:45.000 So yes, the whole planes change things.

01:19:48.000 Is it radical to suggest we should decriminalize border crossings?

01:19:52.000 Yeah.

01:19:52.000 Is it radical to suggest that we should no longer deport people who enter the country illegally?

01:19:57.000 These things are all radical compared to where America's been for the past 200 years.

01:20:01.000 And that is far-reaching.

01:20:03.000 Right. So obviously we can go back in time and talk about, you know,

01:20:07.000 they like to make these arguments about when citizenship became a thing and when borders became a thing,

01:20:11.000 and they became things.

01:20:12.000 And as long as I've existed in this country, we've had border security, and border patrol, and immigration services.

01:20:20.000 It is radical to me, as a regular American, to be told, abolish private healthcare, which is literally what Bernie said, I'm not exaggerating, the Green New Deal, banning fossil fuels, And a moratorium on deportations, and decriminalizing border crossings, and providing universal health care to non-citizens, I'm like, that's psychotic!

01:20:39.000 You want to inch towards this stuff?

01:20:41.000 I'll be like, okay, concessions can be made.

01:20:44.000 But to be like, right?

01:20:46.000 What do you got?

01:20:47.000 So this is, okay, yeah, I'll let you finish what you're thinking, but Heather Haying made this point a while ago, and this is something that Jordan Peterson talked about a little bit.

01:20:54.000 You don't fool with something that's been in place for a very long time unless you have an extremely good reason for doing so.

01:21:03.000 Because things are in place, often, for a reason.

01:21:06.000 I'm not talking about flaws in our society like racism and sexism and all that stuff.

01:21:11.000 I'm talking about things like borders.

01:21:13.000 Things that every single country in the world has.

01:21:16.000 You mess with those kinds of things, you mess with the nuclear, you mess with the family at your own peril.

01:21:22.000 These are things that you definitely do not understand.

01:21:24.000 You do not understand the implications of what you're trying to do.

01:21:27.000 And when you do radical things, that's exactly what you're doing.

01:21:30.000 And I know without a doubt by looking at people like AOC, that they're not thinking past stage one.

01:21:35.000 This is why it's fascinating to watch Joe Biden when, I think he said something today, do I look like a dirty socialist?

01:21:43.000 What'd he say? 0.79

01:21:43.000 Do I look like a radical socialist or whatever? 0.79

01:21:47.000 It's like, I gotta be honest, Joe.

01:21:49.000 Yes.

01:21:51.000 I said earlier, no.

01:21:52.000 And let me make sure I can clarify this.

01:21:55.000 No in the sense that Joe Biden looks like a crotchety old man who has no idea what's going on.

01:21:58.000 He looks weak.

01:21:59.000 Right.

01:22:00.000 But you know, I was thinking about it in terms of the conversation of radicalization.

01:22:04.000 I mean, Joe Biden has agreed to a lot of Bernie's proposals.

01:22:07.000 Not all of them.

01:22:07.000 He's not far left enough.

01:22:09.000 But that's radical to regular Americans.

01:22:11.000 Right.

01:22:12.000 I mean, it's mind-blowing to me.

01:22:13.000 I think Kamala actually walked this back. 0.88

01:22:16.000 They said, like, who would be in favor of abolishing private health care?

01:22:19.000 She raised her hand, right?

01:22:20.000 I remember that, yeah.

01:22:21.000 In the early debates.

01:22:22.000 And then she issued a public statement, like, later that day or night, where it was like, oh, actually, no, I don't want to do that.

01:22:27.000 I remember this.

01:22:28.000 It's radical to say you want to abolish private health care.

01:22:32.000 It is radical to say you want to defund the police.

01:22:36.000 It is particularly radical for the New York Times to publish an article saying, yes, we mean abolish the police.

01:22:41.000 So who are the radicals?

01:22:43.000 It's the left.

01:22:44.000 So it's no surprise, to go back to what I was saying, that we can have these conversations, that we can get tremendous viewership, not just me but many other channels, and the media has no idea it's happening because they're in the radical bubble.

01:22:58.000 To them, Trump is far right because they're far left, whereas Trump's actually a moderate relative to American policy.

01:23:06.000 They've radicalized themselves.

01:23:08.000 And, you know, it's really sad.

01:23:10.000 I was talking to a friend, and his first foray into the actual through the fire, like the outside, what can we call this?

01:23:19.000 Basically, I think it was Breitbart who said this, walk through the fire, on the other side there's freedom.

01:23:24.000 Yeah, Andrew Breitbart.

01:23:25.000 Yeah, and so there are people who are still on the other side scared, and they've not seen outside.

01:23:30.000 They have not seen the freedom, and they have not seen what's actually going on.

01:23:33.000 And then as soon as they peek their head out, they're like, ah, what's happening?

01:23:36.000 It's scary.

01:23:36.000 It's cold.

01:23:37.000 And where am I?

01:23:38.000 And it's like, you're on the beach, dude.

01:23:40.000 We're chilling.

01:23:40.000 You're on your own now.

01:23:42.000 They like being in that cave, surrounded, you know, being told what to do, told what to think.

01:23:46.000 I imagine it this way.

01:23:48.000 All of these people are sitting in a cave, and there's one person in the front of that cave telling them, here's what's happening outside.

01:23:54.000 Trust us.

01:23:54.000 There's fire.

01:23:55.000 It'll burn you.

01:23:55.000 Plato's cave.

01:23:56.000 Kind of.

01:23:57.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:23:57.000 I think that's what it is.

01:23:58.000 Is it Plato's?

01:23:59.000 I think it is.

01:23:59.000 But the general idea is, a bunch of people are being told, if you go outside, the fire will burn you.

01:24:04.000 Don't do it.

01:24:05.000 Just trust us and we'll tell you.

01:24:06.000 And then, you know, do work for us.

01:24:08.000 It's easy.

01:24:08.000 It's safe.

01:24:09.000 And well, it's, it's, I mean, if you trust people, it makes sense.

01:24:13.000 If you grew up with someone, you know, always there for you and they told you, if you go outside, you'll die because the air is poison.

01:24:21.000 And then you grow up and finally go outside and you discover the air is not poison.

01:24:25.000 Then, you know, Rick and Morty reference, by the way, then you're like, my whole life is a lie.

01:24:29.000 What's happening?

01:24:29.000 And you might have like a, you know, what's the right word?

01:24:33.000 You might have a, an intense reaction.

01:24:35.000 You'll have an existential crisis for sure.

01:24:37.000 Yeah, so a lot of people who go through this, you know, they probably resist it.

01:24:40.000 Like, when we were talking to Brendan Strzok from WalkAway, and he said that he did all this research, and he was willing to let it all go if Rachel Maddow produced some hard evidence against Trump.

01:24:49.000 Like, he had watched all these videos, he had seen that they were lying about Trump, and then Rachel Maddow said, I got his tax return.

01:24:54.000 He's like, OK, I will ignore everything I read if she has something.

01:24:58.000 That was such an insight because it was like, I understand that feeling because I've made some hard changes in my own thinking and I've been like, you know what?

01:25:06.000 It would be easier if this weren't true.

01:25:08.000 I would like this to not be true, but it is.

01:25:11.000 I totally get that.

01:25:13.000 Because I think about this, but I guess You know what one of my advantages is is a bit of like existential nihilism in a sense where I feel like you should go through life with a smile on your face because I actually you know I wonder if this is kind of like faith in a sense where it's like I feel that there is a plan a purpose that the world is the world is what it is.

01:25:38.000 You're not, no one, you deserve nothing.

01:25:41.000 Right. 1.00

01:25:41.000 You can work hard and then a rock can fall on your head and kill you. 1.00

01:25:44.000 Yeah. 0.96

01:25:44.000 You know? 0.96

01:25:44.000 So I go through life under the, like, this view. 0.96

01:25:48.000 I've often thought about, like, if my channels got banned.

01:25:51.000 Right.

01:25:51.000 Oh yeah, I know, you think about that all the time.

01:25:53.000 And I'd just laugh and I'd be like, well, what can you do about it?

01:25:57.000 And I think this comes from, you know, when I was younger, I remember my dad telling me, he was telling me about the Great Depression and how people were killing themselves because they lost all their money in the stock market and stuff.

01:26:08.000 And I was like, why would they do that?

01:26:09.000 And he's like, if you made a million bucks and lost it overnight, you'd be angry too.

01:26:12.000 And I'm, no, I wouldn't.

01:26:13.000 I'd be like, wow, I had a million bucks.

01:26:15.000 How about that?

01:26:16.000 Well, what do I have to do now to get what I need?

01:26:18.000 If you go through life with that kind of view, then you're not going to be this negative, angry person who's refusing to accept reality, right?

01:26:28.000 So here's the ultimate point I'm trying to make.

01:26:30.000 When I see news and it's like, you know, Donald Trump did a bad thing because the orange man is bad, my reaction isn't like, how dare they lie about Trump?

01:26:38.000 I go like, I wonder if this one's true.

01:26:41.000 Probably isn't, but I'm gonna read it anyway.

01:26:43.000 There we go, it's not true.

01:26:44.000 So I definitely develop a bias in the sense where it's like, the media lies so much, I just can't give them the benefit of the doubt.

01:26:51.000 But if something bad came out, you know, about Trump or Trump supporters, I'd just be like, uh-huh.

01:26:56.000 I just don't care.

01:26:57.000 You can't expect that your tribe is perfect.

01:26:59.000 You can't expect the world is perfect.

01:27:01.000 You can work as hard as you want.

01:27:02.000 And while I do believe meritocracy is the best way to go about, you know, Building functioning systems, you could be the greatest guy in the world doing all the hardest work in the world and then someone could walk up and just like crack you over the head with a bat and you're gone.

01:27:16.000 Yep.

01:27:17.000 So it's just you live your life day to day and you accept that there's ups and there's downs.

01:27:22.000 If bad news comes out, many people refuse to accept it.

01:27:25.000 I think because they're scared.

01:27:26.000 Their survivability is an issue.

01:27:28.000 I don't know if you've ever read the poem that's called If by Rudyard Kipling.

01:27:32.000 Nope.

01:27:32.000 He talks about, he says, if you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue or walk with kings and not lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, if all men count with you but none too much, you're basically, this is what makes you a man of character.

01:27:49.000 If you look at people and you're like, you know what?

01:27:52.000 It doesn't matter what they do to me.

01:27:53.000 This is a stoic teaching at this point.

01:27:55.000 It doesn't matter what they do to me.

01:27:56.000 It only matters what I do and whether I make something of myself.

01:27:59.000 And if I lose everything, so what?

01:28:01.000 That's the way it is sometimes.

01:28:03.000 And that's probably the most well-rounded philosophy you can have when you're looking at this crazy world that's currently on fire and insane.

01:28:11.000 Like, what else are you supposed to do?

01:28:13.000 Be a little bit nihilistic, care about the people around you, do the best you can, and look for truth.

01:28:17.000 Like, what's better?

01:28:18.000 I think I got lucky.

01:28:19.000 I had good parents.

01:28:20.000 Yeah, I think you're right.

01:28:22.000 I remember I was late for school once because we lived on the south side of Chicago and there's trains that go through the south side.

01:28:28.000 And the trains, man, wow, they're long.

01:28:31.000 You ever waited a train and it's like the freight and you turn your engine off on your car because you're like, I'm going to be here for 20 minutes.

01:28:35.000 Right.

01:28:36.000 And so I remember going to school and the train blocked me and I got, I was late.

01:28:40.000 And then I was like, you know, I come home and my dad was like, you know, I was like, oh, I was late.

01:28:44.000 You got to sign a form or something.

01:28:45.000 I can't remember exactly what we used to do back then.

01:28:47.000 But he was like, well, he's like, this is your fault.

01:28:49.000 Like, why would, why, why were you late?

01:28:51.000 And I was like, it wasn't my fault.

01:28:51.000 There's a train.

01:28:52.000 And he goes, you knew the train tracks were there.

01:28:54.000 It was your fault.

01:28:55.000 If you know the tracks are there and you know the trains are there, then you need to prepare for the trains.

01:28:58.000 And I was like, oh yeah.

01:28:59.000 That's true, huh?

01:29:00.000 Yeah.

01:29:00.000 Oh yeah, I guess you're right.

01:29:01.000 I can't change the train schedules.

01:29:03.000 Right.

01:29:03.000 And I knew the trains come through in the mornings.

01:29:06.000 I should have properly planned ahead.

01:29:08.000 I used to drive with people who would get mad at red lights.

01:29:11.000 They were like, well the light would turn green, and they were like, why aren't we moving yet?

01:29:15.000 I'm like, because the car in front of you isn't moving yet, and there is nothing you can do about that.

01:29:20.000 But you can wait until that car starts moving, and then you can go, and it's great.

01:29:23.000 That's really it.

01:29:24.000 It's like... It's like running into a wall.

01:29:25.000 What does this remind me of?

01:29:27.000 You need to let go.

01:29:29.000 You need to.

01:29:30.000 It's it's.

01:29:31.000 What am I thinking of?

01:29:32.000 I was thinking it's like some some martial arts movie where he's explaining like going with the flow and having the like like you're in a river, you know, and it's you're you're flowing downstream and you can try and resist it or you can steer yourself and use that speed and control it.

01:29:50.000 A better way to explain it is I can't control the wind, but I can adjust my sails.

01:29:53.000 Exactly.

01:29:54.000 Stop.

01:29:54.000 Getting so mad all the time.

01:29:56.000 Right, exactly.

01:29:57.000 I think if you chill, and a lot of these people aren't, this is why they have these crises of character when news comes out about Trump.

01:30:04.000 It's also why I think we're experiencing what we are with Trump derangement syndrome media. 0.50

01:30:09.000 People can't accept, in their world, Trump is the evil bad man. 0.97

01:30:14.000 Therefore, no matter what happens, they view it through the lens of Trump being the evil bad man. 0.57

01:30:18.000 And so what ends up happening is they develop... It's almost amazing how their brains are stitched together at this point.

01:30:25.000 Because it's kind of like if you took, I don't know, a motor scooter and duct taped it to a car and then put like bike pedals on it.

01:30:34.000 You wouldn't expect to be able to drive.

01:30:35.000 You're like, what is this?

01:30:36.000 Like, how do you actually make it move?

01:30:37.000 Yeah.

01:30:38.000 But they've somehow stitched together these broken... Frankenstein thing.

01:30:42.000 This Frankenstein worldview and turned it into some kind of functioning system where they can still live, breathe and eat.

01:30:47.000 And what I mean to say, you know, because it is a bit silly, but...

01:30:52.000 You'll simultaneously be like, Trump is inciting violence.

01:30:54.000 Why won't he stop this?

01:30:56.000 How dare he send out police to stop this?

01:30:58.000 Yep.

01:30:58.000 Like, how do you have that in your brain at the exact same time?

01:31:00.000 I tweeted this earlier.

01:31:01.000 I said, 2020 is a year of, why won't this fascist dictator send troops to stop this peaceful rioting or something?

01:31:07.000 Or, why won't this fascist dictator seize all our guns?

01:31:10.000 Exactly.

01:31:11.000 Or, here's an article about a, here's an interview with a woman who wrote a book called In Defense of Looting.

01:31:17.000 By the way, the looting is Trump's fault.

01:31:18.000 By the way, it's not happening at all and it's entirely peaceful.

01:31:21.000 It's great.

01:31:21.000 I love to see it.

01:31:23.000 Wow.

01:31:23.000 That reminds me of that David Firth... News Hasn't Happened Yet segment.

01:31:29.000 If you guys haven't seen David Firth's stuff, you've really got to watch it because the dude's a genius.

01:31:33.000 But yeah, he has a segment called The News Hasn't Happened Yet, and that so reminds me of it.

01:31:37.000 It's like, the riots are peaceful, the fires aren't really that bad, protesters burning down buildings are also peaceful, Trump is inciting this, he didn't actually say anything to incite it, and he's sending out troops because he's a fascist, but the troops actually aren't there, and looting is actually a good thing.

01:31:51.000 Yes.

01:31:52.000 All of these things.

01:31:53.000 No one sees any issue with this at all.

01:31:56.000 Except maybe us.

01:31:57.000 So I guess the way I put it, though, it has to actually be the most negative interpretation.

01:32:01.000 Always.

01:32:02.000 Right.

01:32:03.000 Trump is trying to send out Gestapo secret police to round up protesters while he's inciting the violence and he won't stop the violence because it's Trump's America and looting is good because the protesters are doing it and it's reparations.

01:32:14.000 You know, what's funny to me is if you sat them down and you asked them to explain what they were thinking, you know they wouldn't be able to.

01:32:20.000 And that baffles me.

01:32:22.000 How do you go through life without being able to explain what you think?

01:32:25.000 Well, here it is, right?

01:32:26.000 Yeah.

01:32:27.000 How do you break people out of this broken worldview?

01:32:31.000 There's nothing to break them into.

01:32:34.000 Well, no, there is like to get them out and show them like, so I was talking to a friend of mine who was very much like experiencing their first time through the flames.

01:32:43.000 And I sent him an article and they're like, huh?

01:32:45.000 And you can clearly see when people starting to realize, like, wait a minute, like, what is, what is this all about?

01:32:51.000 The things I was reading before said this, that the Orange Man is bad.

01:32:53.000 And I'm like, here's a video.

01:32:57.000 Just watch Trump speak one time.

01:32:59.000 I've mentioned this several times, but having gone to Trump's rallies early on, I think, inoculated me from Trump derangement syndrome because it changed my assumptions.

01:33:08.000 I met Trump supporters immediately.

01:33:10.000 I watched Trump speak immediately.

01:33:12.000 And then when I saw stuff in the news, I was like, hey, you didn't say that.

01:33:14.000 Whatever.

01:33:16.000 But I was working for companies, experiencing them.

01:33:17.000 Why?

01:33:18.000 So, you know.

01:33:18.000 That's great.

01:33:19.000 Yeah.

01:33:19.000 I always tell people, if you think that you know what the media is doing, you should just watch Trump speak and then watch what they say about it.

01:33:27.000 Because I always kind of place my bets.

01:33:28.000 I'm like, which way are they going to go with this?

01:33:30.000 Are they going to go two different ways?

01:33:31.000 Different outlets are going to say different things about the same thing that was said?

01:33:34.000 They do.

01:33:35.000 They do.

01:33:35.000 They totally do.

01:33:36.000 It's great.

01:33:36.000 Every time.

01:33:37.000 Do you see the, let me see if I can find it.

01:33:39.000 It's an old Instagram post.

01:33:42.000 Where, it wasn't, I didn't put this tweet together, but I wasn't able to properly attribute the photo because it was put together by someone with a very offensive name that would get me banned from Instagram.

01:33:52.000 Oh, okay.

01:33:53.000 So I was like, I don't know, I can't even say the name because it's gonna result in, like, getting banned, but check this out.

01:33:58.000 Oh yeah.

01:33:59.000 So this is a post I put on Instagram, and I think, I think I mentioned this, I don't know, whatever.

01:34:05.000 But anyway, you've got two screens.

01:34:07.000 This is amazing.

01:34:07.000 This is in a gym.

01:34:09.000 On the left, you've got CBS.

01:34:11.000 Sondland confirms a quid pro quo.

01:34:13.000 This is in reference to Gordon Sondland testifying about Donald Trump and Ukraine.

01:34:17.000 On the right is Fox News.

01:34:18.000 Quote, I want nothing.

01:34:20.000 Sondland confirms Trump told him no quid pro quo.

01:34:24.000 You quite literally have two different news outlets reporting two different things being confirmed.

01:34:28.000 They have the same image on the screen.

01:34:30.000 Yep.

01:34:31.000 Different chyrons.

01:34:33.000 Exactly.

01:34:33.000 Yeah.

01:34:34.000 So here's what I said.

01:34:35.000 I said, two different realities, and it's impossible to convince people what's true, but I'll try anyway.

01:34:40.000 Sondland did not confirm quid pro quo.

01:34:42.000 He stated that he presumed there was one, but received no direct orders, and heard nothing of this from any other staffer.

01:34:48.000 He did confirm that Donald Trump said, I want nothing.

01:34:51.000 Sondland's testimony of a presumed quid pro quo was contradicted by two other officials.

01:34:55.000 Trump confirmed the I want nothing call.

01:34:58.000 Maybe that's journalism, you know?

01:35:01.000 To offer differing viewpoints?

01:35:02.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:35:03.000 To actually do what I just did and say straight up, you've got these two screens.

01:35:07.000 Fox News was correct. 0.99

01:35:09.000 CBS lied.

01:35:10.000 Right, so just pick which is right.

01:35:11.000 That's crazy, man.

01:35:12.000 And so what happens is, when you have this for four years, and people build a worldview off of this, you can't change that because they'll go insane.

01:35:21.000 They'll have a nervous breakdown.

01:35:22.000 Well that's what I mean there's nothing to pop them out of like there's nothing to pop them into out of their little bubble where do you go from there they've been building this for years and there's there's nothing and if you sit them that's what I mean if you sit them down and ask them to explain what they're thinking they have nothing.

01:35:37.000 This feels like a grand experiment in like mass delusional mass like media induced paranoid delusional complexes or whatever.

01:35:48.000 Yeah it's working great.

01:35:50.000 Yeah, like that woman we talked about last week where she's like, Trump is an autocrat trying to take over and Putin's helping him. 0.99

01:35:55.000 It's like, dude, you're crazy. 0.99

01:35:57.000 Go watch a movie or something. 1.00

01:35:59.000 Yeah, that's crazy. 0.85

01:36:00.000 Like, how about Donald Trump is a, you know, kind of a pompous... Flawed president. 0.87

01:36:05.000 Yeah.

01:36:06.000 Getting stuff done.

01:36:08.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:36:11.000 Seth MacFarlane tweeted something about voting for Biden.

01:36:14.000 And I was just thinking to myself, like, there's no way he really means this.

01:36:18.000 Seth is smart.

01:36:18.000 He's a smart guy.

01:36:19.000 He's got 14 million followers.

01:36:22.000 Does he, like, it's just a game to him? 0.82

01:36:25.000 He's like, well, you know, Trump is bad.

01:36:26.000 Vote for Biden.

01:36:27.000 I'm like, nobody who's paying attention thinks that Biden is better than Trump.

01:36:32.000 Nobody's paying attention. 0.89

01:36:33.000 The people who are wrapped up in bubble world where they're watching fake news certainly think Trump is like a demon from outer space who are like, you know, the child of a demon and an alien or something trying to eat human beings and destroy the planet. 0.98

01:36:43.000 He's an autocrat. 0.93

01:36:44.000 Yeah.

01:36:45.000 And, you know, he's responsible for the riots while refusing to do anything—whatever.

01:36:50.000 I don't think any sane person who watches Real News and does research is thinking Biden makes more sense.

01:36:56.000 The dude just did, like, his first rally in, what, like 100 days or some ridiculous number, and he couldn't speak properly.

01:37:03.000 And it's remarkable.

01:37:04.000 You turn on CNN and they're like, Trump supporters for some reason think Biden can't speak.

01:37:08.000 And I'm like, have you watched his rallies?

01:37:11.000 Nobody is suggesting that the entire hour he spoke was him just like teeth falling out.

01:37:16.000 But he gaffes.

01:37:17.000 Yeah.

01:37:18.000 All the time.

01:37:19.000 Yeah.

01:37:19.000 That one wasn't a gaffe, dude.

01:37:21.000 When he was like, can you believe in a year?

01:37:23.000 We had, you know, a hundred year.

01:37:25.000 It's, you know, more deaths in a hundred years than a year.

01:37:29.000 And I'm like, I don't know what you're trying to say, dude.

01:37:31.000 I'm telling you, man.

01:37:32.000 Nursing home flashbacks.

01:37:34.000 Yeah.

01:37:35.000 Yeah, it's really sad, man.

01:37:36.000 It's too bad.

01:37:37.000 Well, I don't know what we do other than maybe we do just stay home, make money, and vote.

01:37:43.000 I think you should keep journalism-ing the journalists.

01:37:46.000 I mean, commentary for the most part.

01:37:47.000 You know, like, watching The Watchmen.

01:37:48.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:37:49.000 Well, yeah, definitely.

01:37:50.000 The good news we have for everybody right now is we have finally secured the new facilities.

01:37:55.000 Yes!

01:37:56.000 Now we just need to get them to lay internet line down because it's in the middle of nowhere.

01:37:59.000 We do need internet, yes.

01:38:00.000 Yeah.

01:38:01.000 So, in order to do a live show, you need good internet, and I don't think it'll be available yet.

01:38:06.000 It might be, it might be actually, yeah.

01:38:08.000 So we're gonna try it out, but in order to lay down real internet, because it's like the 1912 phone line that they're trying, you know.

01:38:17.000 Whoa.

01:38:18.000 DSL, I'm kidding by the way.

01:38:19.000 But yeah, it's the old school lines, and I'm glad it has any internet at all.

01:38:23.000 If we want to get the high quality stuff for the show, we've got to lay actual fiber optic lines, because it's the middle of nowhere.

01:38:29.000 And, uh, that's gonna be fun, but it's a massive place, we've got a lot of plans, and that's the good news, which means I'm definitely gonna be looking for people to do fact-checking.

01:38:37.000 Yeah.

01:38:37.000 Because there's a bunch of stories that I've gone through, and they're like, I'll do a segment and it'll just be tweets.

01:38:41.000 And I'll be like, here's a bunch of tweets from people.

01:38:43.000 Yeah, we need someone to fact check and write it up and so I'm gonna be probably hiring a couple people to handle that at the new place out in the middle of nowhere.

01:38:51.000 So if you want to live in a hippie shack, you know, there you go.

01:38:54.000 Out in the middle of nowhere, campground, you get a TV.

01:38:57.000 Anyway, let's do Super Chats!

01:38:59.000 Let's do it.

01:38:59.000 Let's jump to Super Chats, everybody.

01:39:01.000 Thank you all so much for the Super Chats.

01:39:03.000 This is a big show, but don't forget you can subscribe because we're live every Monday through Friday at 8 p.m.

01:39:08.000 Unfortunately, Kimberly Klasick wasn't able to come.

01:39:10.000 She was supposed to be our guest today, but we have guests coming tomorrow.

01:39:14.000 Yeah, we have Elijah Schaefer tomorrow.

01:39:17.000 Yes, from Slightly Offensive.

01:39:18.000 Yes, and we have Drew Hernandez with Lives Matter.

01:39:20.000 On Wednesday.

01:39:21.000 Yeah.

01:39:22.000 Sweet.

01:39:22.000 And then on Friday, we have Michael Malice.

01:39:25.000 I'm excited.

01:39:26.000 Yeah, they're all really cool people.

01:39:27.000 I'm excited for this week.

01:39:29.000 But also make sure to follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Parler?

01:39:33.000 Yeah.

01:39:34.000 Twitter, Instagram, and Parler.

01:39:35.000 Yeah.

01:39:35.000 At Timcast.

01:39:36.000 And you can follow at Sour Patch Lids.

01:39:38.000 Look, I put the names back up.

01:39:39.000 Oh, you put the names back up.

01:39:40.000 There you are.

01:39:41.000 On Twitter and Parler.

01:39:42.000 But we're going to read you some Super Chats. 0.95

01:39:43.000 We got one here from Jim Farm.

01:39:46.000 Luke 628.

01:39:47.000 Blessed those who curse. 0.54

01:39:49.000 You pray for those who mistreat you.

01:39:51.000 With that in mind, here is a prayer.

01:39:52.000 May the Lord Jesus Christ bless those in Antifa, and may he lead them out of Antifa into the truth.

01:39:57.000 I have tremendous respect for that.

01:39:59.000 That's good compassion.

01:39:59.000 And I want to make sure I stress...

01:40:02.000 I am upset by any violence and death, okay?

01:40:07.000 I don't like to see it.

01:40:08.000 A lot of people, you know, when I saw that video of the dude in Portland getting gunned down, and you see his friend being held back screaming?

01:40:14.000 Dude, that made me cry a little bit.

01:40:15.000 Yeah, it's gut-wrenching.

01:40:16.000 It's awful.

01:40:16.000 But I'll tell you what, I don't like these Antifa rioters or whatever, but when I heard the story about the girlfriend screaming for her boyfriend who got shot in the heart, I felt the same way.

01:40:23.000 I don't want anybody to experience that pain.

01:40:26.000 I don't care if they're bad people.

01:40:28.000 I just keep saying I'm sad that we're here.

01:40:30.000 It doesn't matter who's dying in the street.

01:40:32.000 I don't care. 1.00

01:40:33.000 It sucks. 0.97

01:40:34.000 You know, they're going to say bad things about the dude who got shot. 0.99

01:40:38.000 They say it was self-defense and all that stuff.

01:40:39.000 And I'm just like, all right, I don't care.

01:40:40.000 I get it.

01:40:41.000 There's a divide here.

01:40:42.000 But I'll tell you what, watching people get gunned down in the street is not a good thing.

01:40:47.000 And that's why I'm like, man, I pray that the Patriot Prayer guys do not go out for retaliation.

01:40:52.000 But I can get that feeling watching that video of your friend or being that dude who watched him just get gunned down in the street.

01:40:59.000 Law enforcement needs to handle this.

01:41:01.000 Trump said it.

01:41:02.000 The friend of the victim who was there said the same thing.

01:41:04.000 Yeah.

01:41:05.000 And that's how you win.

01:41:06.000 You let the law enforcement handle this.

01:41:09.000 Yeah.

01:41:09.000 That's the way you do it.

01:41:10.000 I may need to do their work.

01:41:11.000 Yeah, man.

01:41:12.000 But I appreciate the super chat.

01:41:15.000 I hope the same thing.

01:41:15.000 I hope they find their way out and can break free.

01:41:18.000 Jay Bosquez says, Tim Chacho, first, until sued for every virtual cent,

01:41:24.000 twinkler and fascist book need equal red and rainbow checks and thumbs up.

01:41:28.000 Second, WTF lock, 6% of actual woohoo virus deaths.

01:41:34.000 So, I want to make sure I get this one very, very clear.

01:41:37.000 Also, hit the like button if you haven't yet.

01:41:41.000 So the CDC updated their numbers.

01:41:43.000 They said 6% of the deaths were only COVID-19.

01:41:47.000 Yes.

01:41:48.000 And 94% of the COVID deaths were with comorbidities.

01:41:52.000 There's two contextual analyses coming out of this.

01:41:55.000 Right.

01:41:55.000 On the right, it's that the deaths that people died from something and they also had COVID, whereas the left is saying people died from COVID and they also had these things.

01:42:05.000 Get it?

01:42:06.000 Kind of.

01:42:07.000 So basically, the argument is, what did someone truly die from?

01:42:10.000 Right.

01:42:12.000 6% truly died from COVID, according to what was written down.

01:42:14.000 And absolutely nothing else.

01:42:16.000 But that's not the point.

01:42:17.000 The point is, the right is saying 94% of people died from something else, and they had COVID.

01:42:23.000 The left is saying 94% died from COVID, and they had something else.

01:42:27.000 Get it?

01:42:28.000 Ah, yeah.

01:42:28.000 Okay.

01:42:29.000 The problem is, only one contextual analysis is allowed.

01:42:32.000 Right.

01:42:34.000 Why is that?

01:42:34.000 There should be nuance.

01:42:35.000 Because of bias.

01:42:37.000 And there should be, because if we want to have conversations about how to properly reopen and save our society, then we need a proper debate.

01:42:43.000 And instead of banning people who say potentially the wrong thing, you need to have them engage in the conversation and then correct it.

01:42:50.000 Instead they ban them.

01:42:52.000 Okay.

01:42:52.000 This kind of bothers me because I did work at a hospital.

01:42:55.000 A comorbidity is something that most people might not be familiar with.

01:42:58.000 A comorbidity is just some disease that you have along with something else.

01:43:04.000 I think what people are not understanding is that most Americans, given the standard American diet and also the age of the people who are infected with coronavirus, COVID-19, whatever, tend to have comorbidities.

01:43:16.000 That means that those things get recorded on the cause of death.

01:43:19.000 But that would mean that the people did die of COVID.

01:43:22.000 Right.

01:43:22.000 It's a factor.

01:43:23.000 Yes.

01:43:24.000 So I guess the idea is people are saying only 6% actually died from COVID.

01:43:28.000 The rest didn't.

01:43:29.000 That's wrong.

01:43:29.000 That is not correct.

01:43:30.000 Right.

01:43:31.000 Right.

01:43:32.000 Influencing factor.

01:43:33.000 Yeah.

01:43:33.000 And not something that should be discounted.

01:43:36.000 Like we should have nuance.

01:43:37.000 And I wanted to shout out this doctor I was following, but I forget his tag.

01:43:43.000 Well, now you can't shout him out.

01:43:44.000 I missed my chance.

01:43:46.000 TheGrizzly says GamerGate started when a female game dev slept with a bunch of reviewers in order to get good reviews. 1.00

01:43:52.000 She then abused her boyfriend as well to make sure she got good reviews, and now she works at DC Comics. 0.90

01:43:57.000 Game journos are despicable human beings.

01:43:59.000 I'm sorry TheGrizzly, you're wrong. 0.87

01:44:02.000 Journalists are just okay.

01:44:03.000 I'm not gonna they're gonna get so mad at me.

01:44:04.000 I'm gonna get all these hippies. 1.00

01:44:06.000 I remember a tech journalist telling me that tech journalism was the bottom the bottom rung of journalist society because they get free products and write about them.

01:44:16.000 So I'll tell you this.

01:44:17.000 I was told this by a tech journalist.

01:44:19.000 He said, company says we got a brand new smartphone coming out.

01:44:22.000 We're going to give it to you.

01:44:23.000 Write a review on it.

01:44:25.000 Guess what happens?

01:44:25.000 You're gonna say real good things about it.

01:44:27.000 No, no, no.

01:44:27.000 Guess what happens if you write a bad review about it?

01:44:29.000 They stop calling you up.

01:44:30.000 So of course they're gonna be like, it's the best phone ever!

01:44:33.000 Unless it's really bad.

01:44:35.000 But if it's a fine phone, like it's a great phone, it feels great, then they get the next one.

01:44:38.000 And they keep getting sent free phones months in advance, and they show off to all their friends, look I got the new super phone or whatever.

01:44:44.000 That seems almost corrupt.

01:44:45.000 Literally is correct.

01:44:46.000 Yeah.

01:44:46.000 But that's why this journalist guy was telling me that he was a tech journalist.

01:44:49.000 And he was like, this is disgusting.

01:44:51.000 Yeah.

01:44:51.000 He's like, and he was very strict about his ethics policies.

01:44:55.000 It was actually impressive.

01:44:55.000 Good.

01:44:56.000 And he was ragging on journalism.

01:44:57.000 For sure.

01:44:58.000 Yeah.

01:44:59.000 I think now he's a Trump supporter too, for real.

01:45:00.000 How funny.

01:45:01.000 You gotta look him up, man.

01:45:02.000 I talked to him.

01:45:02.000 Zach Jordan says, I'm a 26 year old army veteran.

01:45:05.000 I have not voted for anyone since turning 18.

01:45:07.000 What has happened in this country over the course of this year, you reporting on it and encouraging people to look many places for info has made me aware I will be this year.

01:45:15.000 Interesting.

01:45:15.000 There's a story out of the Military Times, I think, saying that the military is going to be voting for Biden.

01:45:20.000 I don't believe it.

01:45:21.000 I don't believe it either.

01:45:22.000 I do not believe it.

01:45:23.000 You got Donald Trump coming out being like, the Trumps are the best.

01:45:26.000 We want to support the Trumps.

01:45:28.000 We want to support the troops.

01:45:29.000 Give them a raise. 0.99

01:45:31.000 Joe Biden doesn't say anything.

01:45:31.000 He hides in the basement.

01:45:32.000 Having been raised in a military town, I'm just going to say there's no freaking way.

01:45:36.000 There's no way.

01:45:37.000 They're the most patriotic people.

01:45:38.000 This is the reason why the town I grew up in was conservative.

01:45:40.000 It's because of the military.

01:45:42.000 There's no way.

01:45:42.000 Seth Tompkins says Andy Ngo just tweeted that both county sheriffs named by Oregon's governor in her plan have said no to helping her.

01:45:50.000 LOL.

01:45:50.000 Love the show.

01:45:50.000 Spin the UFO.

01:45:51.000 I'm going to have to look that up.

01:45:52.000 Wow!

01:45:53.000 Is that, that's true?

01:45:54.000 I will look it up.

01:45:56.000 Man.

01:45:56.000 After I do this.

01:45:57.000 Oregon.

01:45:57.000 First things first.

01:45:59.000 Bernard Frawnapple says, Big fan of the show.

01:46:01.000 Tim, you report 30 plus people have died since the Floyd riots.

01:46:04.000 Is there a good source for this to share with friends who don't recognize the destruction?

01:46:08.000 Thanks and keep up the great work.

01:46:09.000 I just referenced the Wikipedia page for the George Floyd protests, which mention 14,000 arrests and 30 dead.

01:46:16.000 You'd think 14,000 arrests would constitute the article to be called George Floyd riots, but sure.

01:46:21.000 But it does have a list of all of the deaths.

01:46:24.000 So yeah.

01:46:25.000 Adam Schmidt, thank you for the super chat.

01:46:29.000 Hesim Retna says, As always, keep up the great work.

01:46:32.000 Message Cernovich on Twitter.

01:46:33.000 Not sure he will reply.

01:46:35.000 Your opinion?

01:46:36.000 Could the news networks be sued for inciting a riot due to false reporting, endangering the public trust, or does Section 230 prevent that?

01:46:42.000 Well, Section 230 doesn't have anything to do with TV.

01:46:45.000 It's internet-based.

01:46:46.000 But no, they're entitled to their opinions.

01:46:48.000 It's a First Amendment thing. 1.00

01:46:49.000 They can say stupid things. 0.99

01:46:50.000 If they tell you to do something, then, you know, if they tell people, like, hey, go do this. 1.00

01:46:56.000 A.H.

01:46:56.000 Glassman says, Illusory truth effect.

01:46:59.000 A 70s psych study that concluded consistent repetition of false info as the truth will teach the mind to perceive a fallacy as reality.

01:47:07.000 When confronted with the actual truth, subjects were irrational.

01:47:10.000 Makes sense?

01:47:11.000 Yep.

01:47:12.000 Makes absolute sense.

01:47:13.000 Alright, let's see here.

01:47:14.000 We'll jump up to the first of our chats.

01:47:16.000 Man, it always happens.

01:47:17.000 There's like cat hair or something in the air.

01:47:19.000 Gets me.

01:47:20.000 Allergies.

01:47:21.000 I get it, man.

01:47:22.000 I hear ya.

01:47:22.000 That's frustrating.

01:47:23.000 NFL team said that the US was founded in racist ideals. I don't want to support such an ignorant view of our history 0.85

01:47:29.000 I get it man. I hear you Archerable 26 says me to the media show me how to lie 0.68

01:47:35.000 Show me how to lie. You're getting better all the time and turning all against the one is an art. That's hard to teach

01:47:41.000 I remember this song dr. Certifiable says hey have followed Ben Swan stuff. He'd be

01:47:47.000 Ben Swan's cool.

01:47:49.000 I haven't followed him in a really long time, but I know the name.

01:47:53.000 I don't know if I was retweeted.

01:47:57.000 It was like a deluded like.

01:47:59.000 No, no.

01:47:59.000 Here's the thing.

01:48:00.000 It was.

01:48:01.000 Yeah.

01:48:02.000 I think the reason Trump liked my tweet and got rid of all other likes is to do more than retweet it.

01:48:09.000 To put a point on it.

01:48:10.000 If Trump just retweeted me, it would have been gone in an hour.

01:48:13.000 Yep, it's down in the timeline.

01:48:15.000 By getting rid of all of his likes and liking only my thread, he made sure that anybody who goes to his page can see it dedicated.

01:48:22.000 And so I'm like, you're gonna get me in trouble.

01:48:24.000 Please stop.

01:48:25.000 No, that's fine.

01:48:26.000 I don't care.

01:48:26.000 But I do like how no one has mentioned you.

01:48:29.000 That's so strange.

01:48:30.000 They didn't even mention the thread.

01:48:31.000 Yeah.

01:48:32.000 Or I'm sorry, they mention the thread, they don't actually read it because... Of course not.

01:48:35.000 Heaven forbid.

01:48:35.000 Why would they read things?

01:48:37.000 Yeah, I think one of the challenges for a lot of the mainstream outlets is they'd have to be like, Tim Pool describes himself as a disaffected liberal who supported Bernie Sanders in 2016 and has now decided to vote for Trump.

01:48:46.000 Yeah, they really don't want to get into that.

01:48:47.000 Yeah, I don't think they do.

01:48:48.000 I don't think they want people to realize it's a thing that exists because it would show people that you're not alone.

01:48:54.000 If you're somebody who's sick and tired of what the Democrats are doing, they don't want people to know that.

01:48:58.000 They want you to think you are alone to sit down, shut up, and vote for what we tell you to vote for.

01:49:01.000 Nice.

01:49:02.000 Yeah.

01:49:02.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:49:06.000 Henry Allen says, Tim, blessings.

01:49:07.000 Wisconsin is watching.

01:49:08.000 Thank you.

01:49:08.000 Appreciate it.

01:49:10.000 Ground Floor Guthrie says, that face when you become the news.

01:49:13.000 I gotta admit, it was weird when, you know, it was Lydia.

01:49:17.000 She was like, did Trump like your tweet?

01:49:18.000 And I'm like, oh, I don't know.

01:49:19.000 Like, Don, Trump Jr.

01:49:21.000 retweeted me or something.

01:49:22.000 Yeah.

01:49:22.000 Because, you know, he follows me.

01:49:24.000 And I was like, I don't know, whatever.

01:49:26.000 And I didn't realize the severity of Trump removing all the likes and then just putting mine.

01:49:31.000 Like, read this thread it says.

01:49:32.000 And I'm like, oh jeez, dude.

01:49:34.000 That's like kind of freaking out about it.

01:49:36.000 When Trump Jr. retweeted it, some outlets wrote an article and it was like so poorly framed.

01:49:41.000 Of course.

01:49:42.000 Yeah.

01:49:42.000 So yeah.

01:49:43.000 I expect nothing less.

01:49:43.000 They were like, Tim Pool, who has a right-wing audience.

01:49:46.000 Dude.

01:49:47.000 OK.

01:49:48.000 It's really funny because people who pay attention know that like my audience is mostly moderate.

01:49:53.000 Yeah, pretty libertarian.

01:49:55.000 Pretty libertarian, yeah.

01:49:56.000 We did a poll and found that the biggest self-identified group were libertarian, followed by Trump supporters, then liberals, and there was even like three or four percent who consider themselves to be progressive leftists.

01:50:07.000 Interesting.

01:50:08.000 Yeah.

01:50:09.000 Really interesting.

01:50:10.000 I mean, I've gotten messages from people who watch, who are very, like, social justice progressive, who are very polite and nice to me.

01:50:18.000 You know, the message to me being like, I appreciate listening to what you have to say.

01:50:20.000 I think you're really, really, really wrong.

01:50:22.000 There have been some progressive, like, That's great.

01:50:26.000 Basically people like AOC who have messaged me saying they're a big fan.

01:50:31.000 And I'm like, even though I kind of rag on your ideas and everything, like yeah, but

01:50:35.000 it's not bad.

01:50:36.000 You know what I mean?

01:50:37.000 I find a trend with people who write to you and people who comment on your stuff are people

01:50:41.000 who say, I don't agree with everything you say, but I like the fact that you entertain

01:50:45.000 different ideas and you actually appear to be looking for the truth.

01:50:48.000 I guess so.

01:50:48.000 I think that everybody can respect that.

01:50:51.000 I think that's what I'm doing, but I think I'm biased.

01:50:52.000 I don't know.

01:50:53.000 You could be. 0.61

01:50:54.000 I'm like, Democrats are bad all day. 0.80

01:50:56.000 You know, right now they're the baddies. 0.99

01:50:58.000 They are pretty bad.

01:50:59.000 And I often self-reflect and I'm like, why are they so bad?

01:51:04.000 And I'm like, I remember we were talking once and I was like, how many videos did I do about Democrats panicking?

01:51:09.000 We keep doing that.

01:51:10.000 We were trying to make thumbnails.

01:51:11.000 I'm like, are they panicking again?

01:51:12.000 Yeah, I'm like, I can't do like a fifth panicking video this week, can I?

01:51:16.000 But the article literally says, once again, the Democrats are panicking.

01:51:19.000 I'm like, are they lying about this?

01:51:22.000 And then it's like, they name a Democrat.

01:51:23.000 And it was like, you know, John Smith, an operative for this organization, is saying, we're really shocked by this.

01:51:27.000 And I'm like, I guess they're panicking.

01:51:30.000 They've been in a panic since Trump won.

01:51:31.000 They're so disorganized.

01:51:32.000 Yeah, they've never stopped freaking out.

01:51:33.000 They have no leadership.

01:51:34.000 They're crumbling.

01:51:35.000 Seriously.

01:51:37.000 Dr. Rollergator says, I looked outside my window and didn't see anyone dying of coronavirus, so I don't know what the heck Biden was talking about this afternoon.

01:51:45.000 What, did he say something about that?

01:51:46.000 No, he was talking about, like, how many people had died.

01:51:47.000 Like, 101 year, 100, you know, things.

01:51:48.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:51:49.000 I didn't, yeah.

01:51:55.000 So somebody tweeted a picture of D.C.

01:51:57.000 and they're like, oh, this is scary.

01:51:59.000 People are like walking by in the park.

01:52:00.000 And I was like, oh, so is this Trump's America?

01:52:02.000 Or, I mean, I'm just curious now.

01:52:04.000 They're like, D.C.

01:52:05.000 seems crazy right now with people in the park.

01:52:06.000 I'm like, Trump's America seems pretty good, huh?

01:52:08.000 Yeah, seems great, right?

01:52:09.000 Pretty chillin'.

01:52:10.000 There's a meme, it's really funny.

01:52:11.000 It's a guy drowning.

01:52:12.000 It's like Biden.

01:52:14.000 And then Trump's in a helicopter and he's like, you know, quick, accept federal assistance.

01:52:18.000 I'm like, no, go away.

01:52:19.000 And then as the helicopter leaves, they yell, this is Trump's America.

01:52:22.000 Yeah, seriously.

01:52:24.000 Let's see, Talbot Link says, I showed my dad an unedited video of the Molotov toss as the kid in Kenosha after the Brightness washed video in the news Friday night.

01:52:32.000 Couldn't see the flames.

01:52:33.000 He said the vid I showed was edited because it was longer.

01:52:36.000 The guy threw a plastic bag.

01:52:37.000 He didn't throw a Molotov.

01:52:38.000 Oh, okay.

01:52:38.000 Yeah, Rosenbaum was chasing after Rittenhouse.

01:52:40.000 He threw what appears to be a plastic bag.

01:52:43.000 Right.

01:52:43.000 Absolutely.

01:52:43.000 For sure.

01:52:43.000 running, someone raised their gun into the air and fired a shot into the air.

01:52:47.000 Rittenhouse turned and then Rosenbaum lunged at him and tried grabbing the gun and that's

01:52:51.000 when Rittenhouse fired.

01:52:52.000 Right.

01:52:53.000 And the legal statement was that he feared they would take the gun and use it on him.

01:52:56.000 Absolutely.

01:52:57.000 Yeah, they may have.

01:52:58.000 For sure.

01:52:59.000 Let's see.

01:53:00.000 Devon H. says, Hey Tim, I've been thinking some about Thucydides' trap.

01:53:03.000 The definition refers to international adversaries.

01:53:05.000 However, do you think it could work on a smaller scale, i.e.

01:53:08.000 the regressive left v. liberalism?

01:53:11.000 The general idea, maybe.

01:53:14.000 I guess you can frame it this way.

01:53:15.000 Thucydides' trap is that whenever a dominant power is challenged by a rising power, it results in war.

01:53:21.000 So you have the dominant power, liberalism, being challenged by the rising power, progressivism.

01:53:25.000 Will it lead to war?

01:53:27.000 I don't necessarily think so.

01:53:29.000 It's not the same thing.

01:53:31.000 But maybe.

01:53:32.000 I think the bigger issue is that the progressive left in this country is so divergent from the rest of American society, that's what's going to lead to chaos.

01:53:39.000 And they're small but growing.

01:53:41.000 And it is a cult-like ideology.

01:53:43.000 Well, they are the element of instability.

01:53:46.000 Like, you can look at the center, you can look at the right, and there is not this far-flung ideology, these crazy fanatic people.

01:53:56.000 I got an email from a Democrat asking if I would support them, and I said, like I do, you know, it was from the volunteer from the campaign, does so-and-so support the repeal of Prop 209 in California?

01:54:10.000 And they responded with, you know, we're not based in California, but I assure you we can discuss ways in which the candidate will help fulfill affirmative action goals.

01:54:20.000 And I was like, you just answered the question.

01:54:23.000 Yeah, wrong answer.

01:54:23.000 You are supporting.

01:54:25.000 So the trick is, Repealing Prop 209 strips the civil rights language from the California Constitution, and they call it advancing affirmative action.

01:54:33.000 Tricky.

01:54:34.000 So they'll say, well, we're not so sure on that, but we do want to advance affirmative action.

01:54:37.000 I know exactly what they're saying.

01:54:38.000 They want discrimination law.

01:54:40.000 They want to be able to discriminate.

01:54:41.000 They want pro-discrimination.

01:54:43.000 Or they're paying so little attention that they would vote yes on it.

01:54:46.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:54:46.000 That's scary.

01:54:48.000 Alright, let's see what we got.

01:54:49.000 Arthur Wilcox says, Kyle Rittenhouse was videoed beating up a girl.

01:54:53.000 It's making things look different.

01:54:55.000 So the charges he had before stem from that.

01:54:57.000 He got caught speeding after the incident.

01:54:59.000 Interesting. 0.78

01:55:00.000 Well, I'm not saying the kid is good, and I think the kid was foolish to be out there, and I think the kid's worthy of criticism.

01:55:05.000 I also think if you chase after someone, and someone fires a gun, and they throw something at you, You're not going to convince me that the kid wasn't defending himself just because the earlier day he was a bad person.

01:55:16.000 I would say that this is almost on par with the guy who, okay, so the guy who shot the gentleman in Portland the other day.

01:55:23.000 People were saying that he was basically a criminal because he had brought a gun to a protest in the past.

01:55:28.000 I don't like that.

01:55:29.000 I don't think that matters.

01:55:31.000 Just like I don't think it matters that you have a tussle with somebody.

01:55:35.000 I don't care who you hit.

01:55:36.000 Seriously, as a 17-year-old, especially as somebody who's brawling, because I saw the video, I don't think it's enough.

01:55:42.000 The guy in Portland who had gotten arrested previously with a gun, this is a tough one.

01:55:46.000 I see a lot of conservatives mentioning that he should have been in jail and I'm like,

01:55:49.000 yeah, he should have.

01:55:51.000 And if the DA had followed the law, he'd have been in jail or he wouldn't have had the gun

01:55:54.000 and this wouldn't have happened.

01:55:55.000 However, on the grand scale, the 2A argument shall not be infringed.

01:56:00.000 Should be absolute. 0.90

01:56:02.000 So I think the way I look at it right now is my preferred view of it, idealistically, is he's a murderer.

01:56:08.000 Charge him with murder.

01:56:09.000 Yep.

01:56:09.000 And we can always talk about what could have been.

01:56:12.000 But here, you know, right.

01:56:14.000 Sure you can.

01:56:14.000 But I don't like the idea that people are going to say something like, if only we took his gun away, then he wouldn't have murdered somebody.

01:56:19.000 I don't like that line of thought.

01:56:20.000 That's the gun control argument.

01:56:22.000 That is.

01:56:23.000 However, I think right now the argument is the law is the law.

01:56:26.000 And if he broke the law, then what he should have done is, after he got arrested for it, filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the gun law, and then potentially tried to get it overturned.

01:56:35.000 Right.

01:56:35.000 That's the process.

01:56:36.000 So theoretically, if the system was upheld the way it was designed, the way they claim they want it to be, this could have been prevented.

01:56:42.000 Yeah.

01:56:43.000 So that I understand.

01:56:44.000 They are the ones in Portland and the left arguing for gun control.

01:56:48.000 Right.

01:56:49.000 This was the one time they didn't uphold their own standard and now someone's dead because of it.

01:56:52.000 So I understand there's hypocrisy there.

01:56:54.000 There definitely is. 0.98

01:56:55.000 My idealistic version is he's a murderer. 0.62

01:56:58.000 Yeah, of course.

01:56:59.000 He's an alleged murderer.

01:57:00.000 Innocent until proven guilty.

01:57:02.000 I believe in the Second and Fifth Amendments.

01:57:04.000 I believe in all the amendments.

01:57:04.000 Yeah, of course.

01:57:05.000 That'd be great.

01:57:06.000 Well, and if he were committed to murdering someone, if he were really wanting to go after a Trump supporter, it wouldn't have mattered if he'd done it with a machete or a gun or a blunt object. 0.85

01:57:13.000 He would have made it happen.

01:57:15.000 Right.

01:57:15.000 If he wanted to do it, he would have done it.

01:57:17.000 Yeah.

01:57:18.000 Yeah, look, I think guns definitely make it easier.

01:57:21.000 Make it quick.

01:57:22.000 If he had a blunt object, I don't think anybody would have died.

01:57:24.000 If he had a knife, somebody would have died.

01:57:26.000 Yeah.

01:57:26.000 But, because pepper spray is not going to do anything.

01:57:28.000 But, I mean...

01:57:31.000 I don't know man. It's if people want to find a way they're gonna find a way. If they were

01:57:36.000 hunting people down he would have gone up behind him over and hit him over the back of the head. 0.96

01:57:39.000 You know what I mean? The gun just made it brazen. In fact there's an advantage in that the gun made 0.97

01:57:44.000 it loud and obvious. Yes. So there's video of it happening.

01:57:47.000 Yeah. And you can see him running.

01:57:49.000 I imagine if it was a quiet stealth attack with a knife or something we might not even have known

01:57:54.000 We wouldn't have found him until the next morning.

01:57:56.000 We wouldn't have found him at all.

01:57:58.000 There'd just be a guy who slumped over.

01:57:59.000 I don't know what happened.

01:58:00.000 Someone ran up to him and then ran off.

01:58:02.000 So, I don't know.

01:58:03.000 Pros and cons.

01:58:03.000 It's hard to know exactly, right?

01:58:05.000 You mean like Bill de Blasio?

01:58:06.000 Tim, maybe a theory, but what if the entire riot craziness and businesses killing it is

01:58:11.000 actually to drive people out of dem cities to hijack real estate market?

01:58:14.000 What if elitists just want to buy that sweet dirt cheap real estate? 0.91

01:58:17.000 I mean, Bill de Blasio said he...

01:58:19.000 You mean like Bill de Blasio?

01:58:20.000 Yeah, he said it's exactly what he wanted to do.

01:58:21.000 He's like, I'm buying it up, everybody's buying it up.

01:58:21.000 exactly what he wanted to do.

01:58:23.000 I like that conspiracy theory.

01:58:24.000 That's why he's doing it on purpose.

01:58:26.000 He wants to create public housing.

01:58:27.000 But you know what my preferred conspiracy theory is?

01:58:30.000 I'm not going to frame it in this way.

01:58:32.000 I'm just going to tell you this.

01:58:33.000 Everything that's happening is benefiting us in the event of a full-scale war with China.

01:58:38.000 I like that conspiracy theory.

01:58:39.000 It's a little bit positive.

01:58:41.000 Not even so much about being a conspiracy theory, but just what has happened has benefited

01:58:45.000 this country if a war were to break out.

01:58:47.000 Our cities are decentralizing.

01:58:49.000 People are going to other areas.

01:58:51.000 Jobs are becoming essential only.

01:58:53.000 People are arming to the teeth.

01:58:56.000 More people are working from home.

01:58:58.000 Another thing I noticed that seems maybe a little bit petty was that now when you go to the store you don't get the selection you used to.

01:59:04.000 And this might just be because I'm a girl, but you're being honed in.

01:59:09.000 You're being a little less spoiled.

01:59:11.000 You're being conditioned to expect less.

01:59:14.000 Look, people would go in there and be like, I want strawberry koala yummies and vanilla koala yummies.

01:59:21.000 And now they don't have them and they go...

01:59:24.000 Well, where are they?

01:59:25.000 Now it's like there's milk, bread, and eggs.

01:59:27.000 Yep.

01:59:28.000 If there's a food shortage and a real crisis, also the supply chain being disrupted.

01:59:31.000 Yes.

01:59:31.000 Manufacturing coming back.

01:59:33.000 I talked about this years ago.

01:59:35.000 I was like, man, if China wanted to and they just cut off manufacturing, we'd be done.

01:59:39.000 Oh, for sure.

01:59:39.000 Over.

01:59:40.000 So before we go to war, all of these things need to have happened.

01:59:44.000 So maybe that's bad news.

01:59:46.000 But all I can say is... It is happening.

01:59:48.000 I mean, maybe it is positive that it's happening.

01:59:50.000 Maybe it's what we need right now.

01:59:51.000 Who knows?

01:59:52.000 I guess we'll see, right?

01:59:53.000 All right, let's see.

01:59:55.000 Where are we at?

01:59:56.000 We got one right here.

01:59:57.000 Dragon Warrior says, I'm from Kenosha.

01:59:58.000 Man, love the show.

02:00:00.000 Pray for us.

02:00:00.000 I hope it doesn't get crazier after tomorrow.

02:00:02.000 Probably will move soon.

02:00:03.000 It's been getting worse.

02:00:04.000 Four years.

02:00:05.000 Wow, man.

02:00:06.000 I think... What's Kenosha?

02:00:07.000 It's like a half an hour north of Chicago, right?

02:00:09.000 Yeah, something like that.

02:00:10.000 It's really close.

02:00:10.000 Yeah, because in Milwaukee, I think it's like an hour and a half.

02:00:13.000 I've only ever been to Milwaukee, I think, three times, and I lived in Chicago, and it's kind of weird.

02:00:16.000 You'd imagine, like, you live from Chicago.

02:00:18.000 It's a different state, right?

02:00:20.000 Yeah, but it's like an hour and a half drive.

02:00:21.000 It's not even that far away.

02:00:23.000 Except, I guess people in Chicago complain because the people in Milwaukee brew beer, and then it flows down all the garbage into Chicago, and then we swim in it.

02:00:28.000 That's not nice.

02:00:29.000 Yep.

02:00:29.000 All right, let's see what we got.

02:00:32.000 Eric Postechuk says, I really feel like Donald Trump needs to press the fact the law requires that a governor must accept federal approval.

02:00:41.000 It seems like the left is baiting Trump to seem fascist and blaming him when he isn't.

02:00:44.000 Yes, it's like...

02:00:47.000 No matter what he does!

02:00:49.000 It's a trap!

02:00:49.000 Exactly, exactly.

02:00:51.000 But that's why I think... I don't think he should invoke the Insurrection Act for the most... Like, I lean in that direction.

02:00:55.000 It's hard to know what to do for sure.

02:00:57.000 But I see a lot of conservatives saying, do it, invoke this.

02:01:00.000 And I'm kinda like, the Insurrection Act, in my opinion, should be when a city is completely broken.

02:01:06.000 Like, in 1991.

02:01:08.000 These cities seem a little broken to me.

02:01:09.000 No, they seem like Portland, for instance, has violence popping up.

02:01:15.000 Well, I guess in terms of COVID, for sure.

02:01:18.000 But in Kenosha, where you have rioting over a few days, it's not the same as the L.A.

02:01:25.000 riots.

02:01:26.000 It's not the same.

02:01:27.000 So we're really, really close to it.

02:01:28.000 I'm just saying we're not at that point yet where civil society is broken down and isn't functioning and Trump has to restore everything back to the way it was.

02:01:34.000 We have so many cities right now that are up in arms.

02:01:37.000 That's the other problem.

02:01:38.000 Can Trump deploy troops to secure every city?

02:01:41.000 And if he can't, then should he just wait and do a triage kind of thing?

02:01:45.000 This has kind of been bothering me because I'm like, what if we don't have enough National Guard?

02:01:48.000 What if we don't have enough troops to keep everyone in line?

02:01:50.000 I think we do.

02:01:51.000 And I trust our military, like, implicitly.

02:01:55.000 I think it's very easy to crush these riots and arrest the extremists.

02:02:01.000 The problem is the DA in Portland is letting them go.

02:02:04.000 That is what it comes down to.

02:02:05.000 It doesn't matter if you arrest them, if nothing happens.

02:02:08.000 If they just get released.

02:02:08.000 Right.

02:02:09.000 Exactly.

02:02:09.000 So we don't need as many police.

02:02:12.000 But I think for the most part, Trump should hold back a little bit.

02:02:17.000 And the Insurrection Act should be for a point when the city is in absolute chaos 24-7 and nothing is stopping.

02:02:23.000 Last resort.

02:02:24.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:02:24.000 That makes sense.

02:02:25.000 And especially now, if Trump did it, they'd just be like, oh no, we're under, we're being taken over, and then they'd secede, or whatever dumb thing they were talking about doing. 0.93

02:02:32.000 Cool.

02:02:32.000 Well, that was the war games thing they talked about, seceding the West Coast.

02:02:35.000 All right, let's see, where are we at?

02:02:39.000 I read that one, and I read the one about Andy Ngo.

02:02:42.000 And let's see, Connor Astrin says, the philosophy Tim and Lydia have added to my mind really has helped me.

02:02:47.000 Oh, appreciate it.

02:02:48.000 I'm glad, happy to hear it.

02:02:49.000 Well, Lydia's a big fan of stoicism. 0.90

02:02:51.000 I am.

02:02:51.000 Yeah.

02:02:51.000 I'm a nerd.

02:02:52.000 I'm sorry.

02:02:56.000 Yeah, it's really just about what's dramatically different for Americans.

02:03:07.000 Yeah.

02:03:08.000 And if you want to overhaul the entire system overnight, it's radical.

02:03:11.000 Well, everything looks different to a different country.

02:03:13.000 Like, what is radical in Germany is not radical in the U.S.

02:03:16.000 and vice versa.

02:03:17.000 Just what you're used to.

02:03:19.000 What I think is really funny is Well, I think, I'll just be reiterating the same point, that the left thinks being a normal American is radical.

02:03:27.000 Yeah.

02:03:28.000 That's what they're saying.

02:03:29.000 And Joe Biden adopting any one of Bernie's policies, or even negotiating, is radicalization.

02:03:34.000 Trump is moderate, he's in the middle.

02:03:35.000 Yeah.

02:03:37.000 That's from the New York Times and from Vox, man.

02:03:40.000 Colin N. says, honest question, at what angle could Kyle have shot the dude in the head?

02:03:44.000 His first rounds hit him in the groin.

02:03:46.000 If he grabbed the barrel, how would it have passed his head?

02:03:50.000 I don't know.

02:03:50.000 My bigger question is, how'd he get hit in the back?

02:03:52.000 Yeah.

02:03:53.000 He turned?

02:03:54.000 He, like, got hit, and then he spun?

02:03:57.000 That's what somebody was commenting.

02:03:58.000 I found that tweet you made, and they're like, maybe he turned.

02:04:00.000 I don't know.

02:04:01.000 The Gym says, Hey Tim, relatively new viewer, and I dig that you're willing to flex your opinions based on evidence.

02:04:06.000 A rare trait these days.

02:04:07.000 P.S.

02:04:07.000 I'd love to see you talk with Don from Plebeian Media.

02:04:10.000 Cheers.

02:04:11.000 I'm not familiar, but we'll look into it.

02:04:13.000 That's so smart.

02:04:14.000 Robert Stratton says, don't bring logos to a pathos fight.

02:04:17.000 What was that?

02:04:18.000 Pathos is feelings.

02:04:19.000 Logos is logic.

02:04:20.000 Right, right, right.

02:04:21.000 There you go.

02:04:24.000 Chris Clark says, make a beanie Faraday cage so when everyone has Neuralink they won't

02:04:28.000 get hacked.

02:04:29.000 That's a great idea.

02:04:30.000 That's so smart.

02:04:31.000 I like it.

02:04:32.000 Megan Stewart says, no Biden, no Trump.

02:04:33.000 Choose Unity 2020.

02:04:35.000 Check it out.

02:04:36.000 This is crazy.

02:04:38.000 Twitter and Facebook, I think?

02:04:40.000 And Facebook?

02:04:41.000 I believe it was Facebook as well.

02:04:42.000 Banned the Articles of Unity.

02:04:44.000 Yeah, like why?

02:04:44.000 Who are they afraid of?

02:04:45.000 I don't know.

02:04:45.000 That's so weird.

02:04:47.000 Unity.

02:04:48.000 Yeah.

02:04:48.000 Scary.

02:04:49.000 This is creepy.

02:04:50.000 So it's Brett Weinstein's project, right?

02:04:52.000 Yeah.

02:04:53.000 The Unity 2020 is to find two people that the left and the right agree on and have them run together and then switch vice president, president every term or whatever until America gets back on track.

02:05:06.000 I think it's a clever idea.

02:05:07.000 I just think it's idealistic and not realistic.

02:05:10.000 But I like the idea.

02:05:11.000 To me, it's just a third-party run.

02:05:13.000 That's all it is.

02:05:14.000 You could say Joe Jorgensen is the real option.

02:05:17.000 You could say the Green Party is the option.

02:05:19.000 You could say unity is the option.

02:05:21.000 My bigger fear is that the Democrats are allowing identitarianism to take over in this country, and that is a direct threat to my family.

02:05:31.000 That's a more immediate threat.

02:05:33.000 Yeah.

02:05:33.000 And Trump isn't that bad.

02:05:35.000 Like, I don't know what, you know, when people talk about voting third party, I'm like, Trump isn't at all like the past Republicans.

02:05:42.000 I think there's a time to be idealistic and there's a time to be pragmatic.

02:05:47.000 Yeah.

02:05:48.000 I've never been a big fan of that, like, you know, oh no, we have to stop, you know, the Democrats.

02:05:53.000 I really hate it.

02:05:54.000 Like, I've grown up with this idea of voting against someone.

02:05:56.000 Trump is the lesser of two evils, blah.

02:05:59.000 But this year I kind of feel like we do have to stop the Democrats.

02:06:02.000 This is the first time I've ever felt like this.

02:06:04.000 I voted third party in 2016.

02:06:06.000 But there were people who were screaming that, you know, Obama was the end.

02:06:10.000 And South Park made an episode about it where everyone's like, and I'm like, so I do see the rise of intersectionality as overtaking over time and it needs to be stopped and we need to have a big cultural push against it.

02:06:21.000 And I've seen, you know, professors and historians say there's never been a time like this in history.

02:06:26.000 Yes.

02:06:26.000 But Trump isn't that bad.

02:06:28.000 Yes.

02:06:28.000 So I look at him.

02:06:31.000 That's a huge deal.

02:06:32.000 Yeah, they dismissed that.

02:06:34.000 I'm like, how dare you?

02:06:34.000 five presidents. Yeah. All right. I know. I'm like, how how dare you. And his his

02:06:41.000 rhetoric. He's cleaned up his act for sure. And he's his his agenda is it's

02:06:47.000 it's agreeable. It is not radical. Right.

02:06:49.000 And so in that case, I'm like, I don't know.

02:06:51.000 I don't think Trump's that bad.

02:06:52.000 I'm not, I don't feel like I'd be voting for less or two evils.

02:06:55.000 I feel like I'd be voting for someone who's not my first, second, third, fourth, fifth choice or whatever, but someone who I can be like, yeah, whatever, you know, he's all right.

02:07:03.000 The media lies about him endlessly.

02:07:06.000 He's clearly not a Republican.

02:07:07.000 That's for sure.

02:07:08.000 The media doesn't like him.

02:07:09.000 That's almost good enough for me.

02:07:11.000 I think the media does like him.

02:07:12.000 I think they need him, and I think they know it.

02:07:14.000 Yep.

02:07:14.000 They like his, like, TV attitude.

02:07:17.000 They wouldn't exist if he wasn't president.

02:07:18.000 It's true.

02:07:19.000 Their ratings were gone.

02:07:20.000 I see Ryan Long.

02:07:20.000 He was a, yeah, he was a last resort to save them.

02:07:23.000 Yeah.

02:07:24.000 Yes, it's crazy!

02:07:27.000 So, I don't know a whole lot about it, but I've been following just a few people who are posting about it, and it's scary.

02:07:37.000 I think about what's going on in Hong Kong and Belarus in terms of the uprising, and we view them from the American standpoint as, like, Yeah.

02:07:43.000 good to oppose the dictators, but the left thinks that's who they are here.

02:07:47.000 And I'm like, you attacked an old lady, dude.

02:07:50.000 You're not the freedom fighter opposing the dictator.

02:07:52.000 I'm sorry, that's just not true.

02:07:53.000 Trump was elected.

02:07:54.000 Deal with it.

02:07:55.000 You can vote him out. 0.97

02:07:56.000 If they didn't act like lunatics, they would have voted him out. 0.93

02:07:59.000 If they were just like, well, you know, we lost this one. 0.93

02:08:01.000 Good game, guys.

02:08:02.000 We're gonna focus on doing better next time and we're gonna find a more likable candidate.

02:08:04.000 They could have been rational about it.

02:08:06.000 They would have won.

02:08:06.000 All they had to do, as Ben Shapiro loves to say, was not be crazy.

02:08:10.000 They couldn't do it.

02:08:11.000 They couldn't even do that.

02:08:12.000 They couldn't do that.

02:08:13.000 It's a rebuild year.

02:08:14.000 Yeah, they're taking a year off.

02:08:16.000 Four years.

02:08:16.000 They gotta figure out their leadership.

02:08:18.000 Taking a term off.

02:08:20.000 Yeah, man.

02:08:20.000 Well, hey, anybody.

02:08:21.000 Well, hey, let me read one more super chat actually.

02:08:24.000 Megan Stewart says, if it doesn't work, I'm totally voting for Trump.

02:08:27.000 The ticket is Dan and Tulsi.

02:08:29.000 I like that.

02:08:30.000 I like that ticket.

02:08:31.000 I do.

02:08:32.000 But I don't think the left will.

02:08:33.000 They hate Tulsi and they really hate Dan.

02:08:37.000 Dan Crenshaw?

02:08:38.000 Yeah.

02:08:38.000 Oh, yeah.

02:08:39.000 Dude, the left really hates Tulsi Gabbard.

02:08:42.000 The resistance left calls her a Russian and the progressive left calls her alt-right.

02:08:47.000 There's just, like, moderate people like me who liked her because we recognized her as someone who was trying to build a bridge.

02:08:52.000 She was a more progressive lefty, and I was like, I like a bit of her platform, but she's got military experience.

02:08:58.000 I like Dan Crenshaw for the same reason, so I like the idea of a Dan Tulsi ticket.

02:09:02.000 But the left is not gonna go for it.

02:09:05.000 They won't go for it.

02:09:06.000 And the right won't either.

02:09:07.000 It would be really funny if Tulsi was president and Dan was vice president and she was like, we're pulling the troops out.

02:09:11.000 And Dan's like, that's a bad idea.

02:09:12.000 Yeah.

02:09:13.000 But I feel like they can talk it out.

02:09:15.000 I feel like I feel like a presidency like that would be fantastic.

02:09:19.000 I love the idea.

02:09:20.000 They would engage with each other and come to the right conclusion somewhere in the middle.

02:09:23.000 They would have to.

02:09:24.000 I'll keep my eye on it, but I just see it as another third party run.

02:09:27.000 That's not.

02:09:28.000 I know.

02:09:29.000 I don't like I don't I don't see you getting critical mass for this because people like Trump.

02:09:33.000 Yeah.

02:09:34.000 And so the problem I see here is that the only thing a Dan Tulsi ticket will do is stop Trump from winning.

02:09:39.000 Yeah.

02:09:39.000 For real.

02:09:41.000 That's the problem with third party candidates, unfortunately.

02:09:43.000 I don't like the way it is, but...

02:09:45.000 Brent Chappell says, love the show.

02:09:48.000 Like how you are having guests on more often now.

02:09:50.000 Would you ever consider having people like Ben Shapiro, John MacArthur, or Dave Rubin on?

02:09:54.000 Stay safe and awesome.

02:09:54.000 Well, of course.

02:09:55.000 I don't know, who's John MacArthur?

02:09:56.000 John MacArthur is a pastor.

02:09:57.000 I don't know who that is.

02:09:59.000 He's a preacher?

02:09:59.000 Yeah, he leads a church.

02:10:01.000 Yeah, I'm just not familiar with him.

02:10:03.000 Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin I know, and of course.

02:10:05.000 And I actually, I would love to have some regular people on.

02:10:08.000 Yeah, you keep saying this, and I get regular people hitting me up, and I'm like, ah, too many regular people!

02:10:12.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, but we definitely, it's really hard if, like, it's gonna be, we're gonna have to vet people.

02:10:16.000 Yeah, we're gonna narrow it down.

02:10:17.000 We gotta figure out, like, what they do, and have conversations with them.

02:10:21.000 Yeah.

02:10:21.000 But it'll be interesting to get someone into the spotlight who normally doesn't have the opportunity to say, hey, I'm a plumber from, you know, Ohio, and I just have some kids, and they're going to college.

02:10:29.000 Or like a car, like a mechanic or something.

02:10:32.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:10:32.000 That'd be great.

02:10:33.000 Yeah, that'd be really cool.

02:10:34.000 I don't care about priors.

02:10:37.000 someone and I've seen some leftist bring up Kyle fighting a girl

02:10:40.000 and how that puts him in a bad light. But they seem to refuse to talk about

02:10:44.000 Jake Blake's priors on George or George Floyd's priors. Exactly, I don't care about

02:10:48.000 either.

02:10:49.000 I don't care about priors. I don't care about George Floyd has a history.

02:10:56.000 I care about whether they stepped on George Floyd's neck until he expired.

02:10:59.000 That's nonsense.

02:11:00.000 I care about whether Jacob Blake was being arrested for a warrant and pulled a knife and was fighting with cops.

02:11:05.000 Exactly.

02:11:05.000 I care about the situation they were in at the time.

02:11:08.000 Yeah.

02:11:08.000 I care about Kyle defending himself.

02:11:09.000 That's it.

02:11:10.000 It's fair to say that past instances can, you know, alter it to a certain degree, but... Yeah, but you still are, you're right, you're innocent until proven guilty.

02:11:18.000 Jacob Blake was too.

02:11:19.000 Yeah.

02:11:20.000 Alright, let's see.

02:11:21.000 Stankly Ballas says, Hey Tim!

02:11:23.000 Oh, I see.

02:11:24.000 Stanky Balls. 0.87

02:11:25.000 Says, uh, oh, Stankly.

02:11:27.000 Hey Tim, just to lighten up everyone, I feel like we should all have a laugh at things, like when I'm watching TimCast clips and all of a sudden the outro with you looking 20 pounds heavier comes on.

02:11:36.000 Stay strong, folks.

02:11:37.000 That's a good point!

02:11:38.000 You are losing weight!

02:11:38.000 You gotta do another one!

02:11:40.000 Well, you know, I think it's from all the skateboarding.

02:11:43.000 We got to record when I'm all fat.

02:11:45.000 I'm like... I've been skating very, very often for sure.

02:11:48.000 You'll have good before and after pictures.

02:11:50.000 We'll record a new one.

02:11:51.000 I had to put up a new profile pic because I was like, you know what got to that point?

02:11:56.000 I often see people rag on others for having old profile pics.

02:12:01.000 And I was like, I just never thought about it.

02:12:02.000 And I'm like, whoa, that is three years old.

02:12:04.000 I'm going to take a new profile pic.

02:12:06.000 And everyone's like, you look so mad, Tim.

02:12:07.000 I'm like, I don't know.

02:12:08.000 What am I supposed to do?

02:12:11.000 Kaper2x says, think Viva Frey and Barnes Law as guests.

02:12:14.000 They think highly of you.

02:12:15.000 I think they're great.

02:12:15.000 I'd love to have them.

02:12:16.000 Yeah, we're working on it.

02:12:16.000 Working on Viva, for sure.

02:12:18.000 FantasticMrNox says, have you seen the video of a man in Baltimore getting bricked by a BLM supporter?

02:12:23.000 I don't know if he was a BLM supporter.

02:12:24.000 I saw the video, though.

02:12:24.000 It was crazy.

02:12:26.000 But look, these videos happen all the time, man.

02:12:29.000 T-Zoning says, people on the right hate Dan because he wants red flag laws and spying on gun owners.

02:12:34.000 Yep.

02:12:35.000 Tulsi has a insane gun control policy.

02:12:37.000 Not all people on the right know about his TAPS Act, red flag law and spying.

02:12:41.000 Yeah, I think I remember him talking about this.

02:12:44.000 Everyone melted down.

02:12:45.000 Well, we are about 11 minutes over, so I think we're going to get ready for bed, because I'm going to wake up early in the morning and get back to work.

02:12:51.000 But thank you all for hanging out.

02:12:52.000 Thanks for the super chat.

02:12:52.000 Sorry we couldn't get Kimberly Klasek on.

02:12:54.000 She has become a superstar, and I don't blame her.

02:12:57.000 I wish her the best.

02:12:58.000 I think she's great.

02:12:59.000 But she had this explosive ad that went viral overnight, and then she had to speak at the RNC.

02:13:05.000 And I'm just like, dude, you've got to do your thing, because the race is way more important.

02:13:09.000 Yeah, that's way more important.

02:13:10.000 She seems busy, but I'm stoked for her.

02:13:12.000 And we've got Elijah Schaefer tomorrow, right?

02:13:14.000 That's gonna be cool.

02:13:15.000 He's slightly offensive.

02:13:16.000 You may have seen his stuff.

02:13:17.000 So he does like a podcast show and he's done a lot of on-the-ground stuff and like legit reporting from the scene.

02:13:22.000 I've cited a ton of his content reporting on protests and riots so I look forward to having him.

02:13:26.000 These two dudes over the next two days are both on the ground reporting on all this stuff and I'm excited to hear what they have to say.

02:13:31.000 It's gonna be fun.

02:13:33.000 So make sure you follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Parler at TimCast.

02:13:37.000 You can also follow my other channels, YouTube.com slash TimCast and slash TimCastNews.

02:13:42.000 And you can follow at Sour Patch Lids, Sour Patch L-Y-D-S, on Twitter and Parler.

02:13:48.000 We'll be back tomorrow at 8 p.m.

02:13:50.000 live.

02:13:51.000 We'll have clips from this show throughout the day.

02:13:53.000 And of course, I put out an insane amount of content, so my main channels have a ton of content throughout the day as well.

02:13:58.000 I imagine I'm gonna wake up in the morning and be like, oh look, more riots happened.

02:14:02.000 Let's talk about that again.

02:14:03.000 So I'll be back.

02:14:04.000 Thanks for hanging out, everybody, and we will see you all tomorrow at any point in the day when you watch the content, but we'll be live at 8 p.m.

02:14:10.000 with Elijah Schaefer.

02:14:11.000 Adios.
