Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Trump Has Been Impeached AGAIN, National Guard Brief On MAJOR Threat w- Allum Bokhari

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:41.000 you well Donald Trump is now the first president in USA

00:01:01.000 history to be impeached twice.

00:01:04.000 And I wouldn't be surprised if he, you know, if in fact Trump had ended up winning the election, he would have been impeached like four or five times because they would just keep doing it.

00:01:12.000 And I guess the joke is that if he ended up, you know, winning, it would have been like 3,000 impeachments.

00:01:18.000 But here we go.

00:01:19.000 This time, several Republicans actually joined in.

00:01:21.000 I think the number is 10.

00:01:22.000 And already conservatives, Republicans, Trump supporters are saying, well, they just ended their careers.

00:01:27.000 And I think that makes a lot of sense considering the Republican Party still likes Trump overwhelmingly.

00:01:32.000 And in fact, according to Rasmussen, Trump's approval rating actually went up after January 6th.

00:01:38.000 Which shows you just how much people really love this man.

00:01:41.000 Well, Donald Trump came out today, put out a video, and he said, no violence, no law-breaking, in reference to any upcoming rallies or protests.

00:01:50.000 And now we're hearing the National Guard has been briefed on very serious terroristic threats that are expected around the inauguration, so I hope that turns out to be nothing.

00:02:00.000 They've got National Guard troops all over the Capitol building, all over D.C.

00:02:04.000 I think they're bringing in, what, like 20,000?

00:02:05.000 Is that the number? 0.94

00:02:06.000 Some ridiculous number.

00:02:07.000 So we're going to go through this, and we're also going to talk about the big tech censorship, because the other breaking news, Snapchat took a brave and bold step banning Donald Trump.

00:02:16.000 He's already suspended, but they announced that they're going to be permanently banning him on the 20th, so okay, I didn't realize.

00:02:23.000 Trump was a big Snapchat user?

00:02:25.000 Is that a thing?

00:02:25.000 I don't use Snapchat, so.

00:02:26.000 So we're going to talk a lot about it, and we've got one of the foremost experts on big tech censorship, Alan Bakari.

00:02:31.000 He's hanging out.

00:02:32.000 Alan, do you want to introduce yourself?

00:02:34.000 Hi, I'm Alan Bakari.

00:02:36.000 I've been writing about big tech censorship since 2015 at Breitbart News.

00:02:41.000 And not to say we told you so, but we told you so.

00:02:46.000 You did.

00:02:46.000 And didn't you guys also put out that video of Google, like, crying when Trump won?

00:02:51.000 Yes, this was a few days after the election.

00:02:54.000 We got our hands on this internal video at Google, and we published the whole thing at Breitbart News.

00:02:57.000 You can still find it online.

00:02:59.000 Not censored yet.

00:03:01.000 And this was three days after the election, or two days after the election even, and there was a total meltdown at what had happened.

00:03:07.000 They couldn't process it.

00:03:08.000 They had no plan.

00:03:09.000 They said they had no plan.

00:03:10.000 They said they had no idea what the Trump administration was going to do, because they hadn't possibly conceived that he could have won.

00:03:16.000 And they also, more importantly, started talking about their plans to crush the populist movement.

00:03:21.000 And then it was a blip.

00:03:22.000 The populist thing popped up, and now they suppressed it.

00:03:24.000 But I don't think it's over.

00:03:25.000 And that's kind of the point of what we're seeing.

00:03:26.000 2020 election. Sorry, complete interference by the tech companies and it was culminating in the ban of Trump

00:03:31.000 himself And then it was a blip the populist thing popped up and now

00:03:34.000 they suppressed it But I don't think it's over and that's that's kind of the

00:03:38.000 point of what we're seeing They they I guess they seem to think that people will think

00:03:42.000 what they tell them to think and that's partially true If you could shut down the internet

00:03:48.000 Which they can't because we're already seeing Trump supporters going underground setting up new networks and it

00:03:53.000 didn't stop those who got de-platformed You know, they kept saying all these lefties, de-platforming works.

00:03:57.000 I'm like, I'm sorry.

00:03:59.000 I seem to have remembered a ton of these de-platformed people at the U.S.

00:04:02.000 Capitol bullhorning or marching and getting tons of followers on just different platforms.

00:04:07.000 Sure, maybe shut down all of the internet.

00:04:09.000 But we'll talk about this stuff, and we also got Luke Rudkowski of We Are Change.

00:04:12.000 I think all of us in this room should start a music band.

00:04:15.000 That's called Not Censored Yet.

00:04:17.000 Howdy! 0.99

00:04:17.000 Hello! 0.99

00:04:19.000 I am your fellow parking lot vendor and humble t-shirt vendor, and if you want to support my efforts, you can on wearechange.org forward slash shorts.

00:04:27.000 Thanks for having me.

00:04:28.000 And you're also an independent journalist.

00:04:29.000 Yes.

00:04:29.000 Everybody knows you at this point.

00:04:30.000 Ian's back.

00:04:31.000 Hi.

00:04:31.000 Ian!

00:04:32.000 Ian, were you sick?

00:04:33.000 Yeah, I was.

00:04:33.000 I had a headache.

00:04:34.000 I think I stayed up too late.

00:04:36.000 We shouted you out, though.

00:04:36.000 We wanted to make sure everybody followed you because, you know, we need to free the code.

00:04:39.000 I've been getting really nice tweets lately.

00:04:41.000 Yeah, look at that.

00:04:43.000 Yo, I'm just ready to get dirty.

00:04:44.000 What does that mean?

00:04:45.000 Let's roll around the mud, man.

00:04:47.000 I feel like we're slathering ourselves in feces and talking about how dirty it is.

00:04:53.000 What?

00:04:53.000 Yeah, that's fair.

00:04:53.000 When we talk about this, like, gross, you know, left versus right, all this junkie, like, we're in it.

00:05:00.000 We're in the darkness, you know? 0.91

00:05:02.000 So let's just wipe it on all over.

00:05:04.000 I was thinking about what you were saying about left versus right, and I feel like tribalist is a better word for it.

00:05:09.000 Because, like, Ocasio-Cortez, in my opinion, doesn't fairly represent the left.

00:05:13.000 She's a tribalist.

00:05:14.000 It's like, you know, her whole persona is owning the cons. 0.84

00:05:17.000 So if you've got someone whose whole thing is owning the libs, and someone on the left who's owning the cons, I don't feel that is accurately representing the actual values of a liberal, conservative, or a socialist, or a traditionalist, or whatever.

00:05:29.000 It's just someone who wants to, like, they use that as their stand to earn internet points.

00:05:35.000 So I think, you know, a lot of what we see on social media is just tribalism.

00:05:38.000 It has nothing to do with your actual political ideology.

00:05:40.000 It's which team are you on.

00:05:41.000 Yeah, and that can change.

00:05:43.000 Right, exactly.

00:05:43.000 In the heat of the moment.

00:05:44.000 This is a good point.

00:05:45.000 I mean, people don't realize, with all this partisanship and tribalism, how much the populist left and populist right have in common, especially in foreign policy.

00:05:54.000 And the tribalists get in the way.

00:05:55.000 Yeah.

00:05:56.000 Because then you end up with the left cheering for the establishment, if it means owning the cons.

00:06:00.000 But we'll talk about all this.

00:06:01.000 Don't forget, we've got Sarpachi.

00:06:02.000 Let's press all the buttons.

00:06:03.000 Yes, I am in the corner, pushing buttons.

00:06:05.000 And before we get started, I'm gonna give a shout-out to today's sponsor, Safe and Ready Meals.

00:06:09.000 My friends, if you go to safeandreadymeals.com, you can get 20% off emergency food supplies.

00:06:15.000 I know, you know, I've promoted this stuff a lot, uh, fairly often over the past year, and I'm a big fan, actually.

00:06:20.000 We've been eating it, because it's, you know, basically just, you mix it in the pot, you put some water in it.

00:06:24.000 But this stuff has a 25-year shelf life, up to 25 years, and you can get, like I mentioned, 25% off.

00:06:30.000 We got 2-week emergency food and 4-week.

00:06:32.000 Again, safeandreadymeals.com.

00:06:34.000 Here's the thing.

00:06:35.000 I'm not telling anybody to become a prepper and go, you know, dig a fort or whatever and stock it with 30 years of beans.

00:06:41.000 I'm just, my whole thing is, we get reports of floods and hurricanes, and it's always good to have some kind of emergency supplies, be it water, food, and a first aid kit.

00:06:49.000 It was always surprising to me that people have first aid, but they don't have food when you literally have to eat every day.

00:06:54.000 Well, I guess you don't have to eat every day, but you eat a lot, and you don't really use that first aid kit all that often.

00:06:59.000 So check it out, safeandreadymeals.com.

00:07:02.000 Special thanks to them for sponsoring the show.

00:07:04.000 But one more thing I want to mention.

00:07:06.000 For those of you who haven't already, go to teespring.com forward slash stores forward slash Timcast, and you will notice right there in front, it says, I am a gorilla.

00:07:16.000 Many of you have been posting incessantly in the chat that you are, in fact, gorillas.

00:07:21.000 So we have honored your wishes and produced a shirt that says, I am a gorilla.

00:07:25.000 And it is a gorilla grinning and, you know, holding his fist together.

00:07:28.000 And we actually have some more.

00:07:30.000 We have a Valentine's Day one.

00:07:32.000 I'm a gorilla.

00:07:32.000 Love yourself.

00:07:33.000 And then we're gonna do a special edition of the I Am A Gorilla shirt with a tinfoil hat on that.

00:07:38.000 Once it goes live, it'll be only available for probably a few days to get.

00:07:41.000 But again, teespring.com forward slash stores, that's with an S, slash Timcast, and then you can see the I Am A Gorilla shirt.

00:07:47.000 We'll get URLs up so it's easier to find the stuff, but for all of you who wanted that silly gorilla shirt, congratulations, you can now get it, and it comes in a couple colors.

00:07:55.000 But let's get back to the news.

00:07:56.000 Before we get started, smash the like button, subscribe, notification bell.

00:08:00.000 Wow, that was long.

00:08:01.000 Here's the news from the AP.

00:08:03.000 Donald Trump's been impeached after Capitol riot in historic second charge.

00:08:08.000 Again, they say President Donald Trump was impeached by the U.S.

00:08:11.000 House for a historic second time Wednesday, charged with incitement of insurrection over the deadly mob siege in the Capitol in a swift and stunning collapse of his final days in office.

00:08:21.000 We get it.

00:08:22.000 Several Republicans actually joined in.

00:08:24.000 There were 10.

00:08:25.000 That's kind of surprising, but not too surprising.

00:08:28.000 Interestingly, we heard that Mitch McConnell would not be calling a special session of the Senate, which means the actual trial for Donald Trump will happen.

00:08:37.000 After Biden is already president.

00:08:39.000 But you need to understand there is one thing they are doing here.

00:08:43.000 Before I tell you what that one thing is, I'll note, Donald Trump put out a big statement today, on video, on YouTube, for the White House, saying, no violence and no law breaking.

00:08:51.000 And if you look back at what Donald Trump said in DC, he said, peacefully protest, peacefully march to cheer on politicians.

00:08:58.000 He didn't tell anybody to do anything direct or to storm the Capitol or any of that stuff.

00:09:03.000 But that's not what's important.

00:09:04.000 The Democrats are levying a charge of incitement of insurrection for one reason.

00:09:10.000 If Trump is convicted for insurrection, that is grounds to prevent him from running in 2024.

00:09:15.000 That's what they're after.

00:09:17.000 And that's why they are now trying to impeach him, even though I'm sorry, I'm sorry, they did impeach him.

00:09:24.000 That's why they're hoping to convict him.

00:09:26.000 Even after he leaves office.

00:09:28.000 So I've heard from a lot of people, they've said, it's too late.

00:09:30.000 You'll never get a Senate trial in time.

00:09:32.000 What's the point?

00:09:33.000 There's many Republicans who are like, why is only eight days left?

00:09:36.000 Because they don't want him to be able to have any political power ever again.

00:09:41.000 And they want to do the same thing to all these other Republicans who supported Trump in the constitutional process of objecting to the vote.

00:09:47.000 So I don't know what you guys think, but, uh, I think it's doomed to fail unless you think they're Republicans who are actually gonna, you know, they need 67 votes.

00:09:57.000 I mean, who knows?

00:09:59.000 McConnell seems to really hate Trump right now.

00:10:01.000 Who knows where that will go?

00:10:03.000 The question is, you know, is Trump like the Obi-Wan Kenobi of getting impeached every time he gets stronger?

00:10:09.000 Because he does have this image of, you know, the one guy against everyone else, and this seems to bolster that image.

00:10:15.000 Yeah.

00:10:15.000 Yeah, the, if you strike me down, I'll become more possible, more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

00:10:19.000 That's the, that's the bigger question beyond all of this though.

00:10:21.000 So I rolled my eyes when it's like, here we go with impeachment again.

00:10:24.000 And they really dragged it out.

00:10:26.000 It was like, they announced we're going to impeach Trump on Monday.

00:10:28.000 And then on Monday they were like, Oh, here we go.

00:10:31.000 But we're going to give Mike Pence 24 hours.

00:10:34.000 48 hours, we're gonna impeach him on Wednesday, and then they finally do it.

00:10:38.000 Didn't they need like nine months to decide that the average citizen gets $600, but when it comes to impeachment, they could just do it like that?

00:10:46.000 I mean, you know, this is a major thing, but I feel like it's losing its lackluster.

00:10:51.000 It was such a major big deal with Bill Clinton when he was impeached.

00:10:54.000 He still obviously was able to be president, but now it's like, okay, we get the kind of larger symbolic gestures, and I feel like there's a lot of them What, the gestures?

00:11:04.000 don't really amount to a lot.

00:11:05.000 What, the gestures?

00:11:07.000 Well, the larger kind of saying, you know, Trump's out, you know, trying just to push

00:11:12.000 anything Trump out.

00:11:13.000 Like we saw the golf course.

00:11:15.000 We saw New York City also announced today that they're getting rid of any contracts

00:11:20.000 they had with Trump, including his property in the Bronx, including his ice skating ring

00:11:24.000 in Central Park.

00:11:25.000 So we're seeing just a lot of people using this situation to kind of stand on the grave of Donald Trump saying, look how good I am by dumping Trump.

00:11:33.000 And that's crazy because Trump's popular still.

00:11:36.000 Like the Trump supporters still love the man just because he's not president anymore doesn't mean they're going to sit by and just let these people destroy everything Trump.

00:11:45.000 I think him getting banned made people love him.

00:11:47.000 Like, he got all this sympathy after he got banned off Twitter.

00:11:51.000 Because people were ready to start hating on him, and now all of a sudden... It's a surge.

00:11:53.000 Well, you know what it is.

00:11:54.000 I think the Trump reply guys and these journalists on the left are sweating bullets.

00:12:01.000 Like, you're gonna get laid off.

00:12:02.000 Like, Jim Acosta's already gone.

00:12:04.000 You guys saw that, right?

00:12:05.000 No, what happened?

00:12:05.000 CNN announced that Jim Acosta's no longer the White House correspondent.

00:12:09.000 Well, he served his purpose.

00:12:11.000 Well, you can look at it that way, or you can just look at it as Jim Acosta was doing a job for CNN, but without Trump, he's literally nothing.

00:12:22.000 He served his purpose, I think.

00:12:24.000 Sounds too nice.

00:12:26.000 It's that Jim Acosta doesn't have anything going for him.

00:12:28.000 The only thing he had was that he was the guy who was willing to waste everyone's time just blabbering at Trump and not actually asking questions.

00:12:34.000 I'll be the first Breitbart reporter accused of being too nice to Jim Acosta.

00:12:39.000 No, but it is!

00:12:40.000 You served your purpose and you can go, and I'm like, well, well, well, he was useless from the get-go until Trump came in.

00:12:45.000 Yes.

00:12:45.000 No, for real.

00:12:46.000 That's better, actually.

00:12:47.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, did anyone know Jim Acosta before Trump?

00:12:50.000 Nope.

00:12:51.000 No, I mean, I think, I don't even know what he was doing for CNN.

00:12:53.000 He was the White House press corps for a while.

00:12:55.000 I remember meeting him, oddly enough, at Bilderberg, but he wasn't covering Bilderberg, he was just staying at the Bilderberg Hotel before the actual conference was happening.

00:13:05.000 Weird.

00:13:05.000 And that's where I actually met him, and, um, So wait, you're saying he actually got fired?

00:13:10.000 If he was the White House correspondent before Trump?

00:13:13.000 This was years and years ago, and I gotta look up the dates to verify everything.

00:13:19.000 But he was the White House correspondent?

00:13:21.000 Yeah, he was the White House correspondent for a while now.

00:13:23.000 And they gave him the boot.

00:13:24.000 You see, they're shutting down their airport network?

00:13:26.000 Yeah, CNN airport is gone.

00:13:27.000 Because without Trump, they're in panic.

00:13:30.000 And, you know, Jeff Zucker, the president of CNN, was like, you know, it's the lack of air travel from, you know, because of COVID, and the changing way people are consuming media.

00:13:38.000 And I'm like, yeah, but what about CNN hotels?

00:13:42.000 Like, hotels play CNN all the time.

00:13:44.000 But I guess they were paying the airports, if that makes sense, that they would terminate that.

00:13:48.000 I wonder what the airports are going to do.

00:13:49.000 Oh, no.

00:13:50.000 They're just going to leave CNN on.

00:13:51.000 I think that's actually a bet CNN probably made.

00:13:53.000 I mean, they have all these TVs at airports.

00:13:55.000 Airports aren't going to just turn them off.

00:13:56.000 They're going to have to play something.

00:13:57.000 Wasn't there rumors about Zucker potentially leaving CNN2 recently?

00:14:01.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yep.

00:14:04.000 The whole economic system of the media was built on Donald Trump for four years.

00:14:09.000 That's why I've been saying before the media secretly wants Trump to win, but they can't say it or contribute to it.

00:14:15.000 But deep down they're like, what am I going to do?

00:14:17.000 Like, there was an op-ed from one journalist freaking out, being like, my whole career was built on calling out Trump and now he's gone, what do I do?

00:14:23.000 And it was like some other journalist talking them down, like, calm down, calm down.

00:14:26.000 You'll figure it out.

00:14:27.000 You'll evolve from this.

00:14:29.000 I was surprised to see the Krasenstein brothers celebrating in a short video.

00:14:34.000 If you don't know, they're two guys who, the only people, the only reason anyone knows their name is because they were Trump reply guys on Twitter.

00:14:41.000 They got their following through responding to Donald Trump.

00:14:44.000 They were celebrating him getting banned.

00:14:45.000 Well, you know, that's how people know who you are.

00:14:49.000 But this whole thing about corporate corporations, banks cutting off Trump, social media companies cutting off Trump, it's kind of has a silver lining in a way because it shows where power lies in America.

00:14:59.000 And it's raised this issue now, I think, to international concern.

00:15:02.000 You've got foreign leaders who are horrified to see I was, I was really, um, uh, what's, what's the right word?

00:15:10.000 Uh, not shocked.

00:15:11.000 I was impressed, you know, to, to see bastions of human rights and civil liberties standing up.

00:15:18.000 Just give, gave me hope, you know, like, like, uh, China and Uganda calling out these, these horrific acts that were being carried out in the United States.

00:15:27.000 Bravo.

00:15:27.000 Well, one thing that's really interesting is that there is international outrage about what's happening in the United States with the banning of the U.S.

00:15:34.000 president on social media, kind of transferring the power of information into the small hands of a few select billionaires.

00:15:41.000 And it's a few French ministers, Angela Merkel, the Mexican president, and a lot of other people are actually... Australian ministers as well, and there are reports the British Prime Minister is now considering Yeah, this is interesting because we don't hear about this at all.

00:16:00.000 There's no outcry.

00:16:01.000 There's celebration on social media that we're shown, on mainstream media, which calls for more heads to roll.

00:16:08.000 But we don't hear any of the legitimate concerns that are very serious.

00:16:12.000 We're living in a situation where Essentially, a few people have total control.

00:16:17.000 They privatized the internet and they could do whatever they want with this vast, ever-growing power that has so much influence on our lives.

00:16:25.000 And it's absolutely scary.

00:16:27.000 People outside of the U.S.

00:16:29.000 are realizing it and no one's even hearing about it.

00:16:32.000 So American elites love the fact that these tech companies can stamp down on their political opponents.

00:16:37.000 But no one in any other country really likes the idea of that because they don't want an American company coming and picking and choosing their elected leaders.

00:16:44.000 That's where we're going.

00:16:45.000 The Chancellor of Germany doesn't want that.

00:16:46.000 The Prime Minister of Britain doesn't want that.

00:16:48.000 The dictator of Uganda doesn't want that.

00:16:50.000 He just banned Twitter and Facebook before his election.

00:16:52.000 Well, they understand this kind of bigger merger of big tech and the Biden administration that's hiring all these tech executives to be a part of its government.

00:17:01.000 This merger is going to have vast power, not just in the United States, but specifically the world.

00:17:07.000 Whenever there's a protest, whenever there's a demonstration, whenever there's a world leader that doesn't play along, that doesn't do whatever the elites want him to do, whatever the billionaire class wants done, if they don't do it, if they don't jump when they say jump, They're going to have all the power in the world to shut someone down everywhere because of their speech.

00:17:26.000 And we have to understand, this is not just Twitter or Facebook.

00:17:29.000 These are monopoly powers of Amazon and Google that control the key infrastructures of our information highways.

00:17:36.000 So whether it's server space, whether it's internet cables, these people have so much power way beyond just social media algorithms.

00:17:44.000 So it's interesting, Poland, they announced this bill, I don't know if you guys saw this, where they're gonna, you know, rein in Big Tech.

00:17:50.000 I actually have this story from the New York Post, written by Will Chamberlain.

00:17:53.000 He writes, Poland, appropriately enough, is leading the way. 1.00

00:17:56.000 Their Justice Minister, Zygmunt Zyobro, announced last month that the Polish government would enact a law constraining Big Tech from censoring their citizens.

00:18:05.000 Polish users who are victims of censorship can go to a new Polish court, get an injunction forcing the company to restore their account and their content on penalty of a fine of as much as 1.8 million euro.

00:18:17.000 We should do the same.

00:18:18.000 Americans should have the same right to speak on large social media platforms that they do in a public park.

00:18:24.000 We simply need to change the law to make that a reality.

00:18:27.000 You know what I love the most about this?

00:18:28.000 Here I am, you know, 10 years ago, Uh, fundraising and doing, you know, engaging in activism to regulate major corporations.

00:18:36.000 Why?

00:18:36.000 Oil spills, big political lobbying, violation of civil liberties, and, you know, you had these big evil companies.

00:18:44.000 And here I am today doing the exact same thing.

00:18:46.000 Isn't that weird?

00:18:47.000 Yet now, conservatives have joined in, and it's really interesting to see the left has abandoned me.

00:18:53.000 Where'd they go?

00:18:54.000 They no longer want to regulate the companies that are seized in the commons?

00:18:57.000 I made an analogy to this on Twitter where I said, I had an epiphany after being told, but my private company for the 500 millionth time, and I realized that all the activism I did for the environment was wrong!

00:19:07.000 BP is a private company!

00:19:09.000 If they build an oil rig in the ocean, and they're permitted to do it, and oil spills out of it, well, too bad!

00:19:16.000 Why don't you start a company to clean up that oil? 0.98

00:19:19.000 And I know, of course, they all said, that's a different thing, that's a different problem, that doesn't make sense, and I said, it certainly makes sense.

00:19:24.000 BP caused damage to the commons, the areas that we all share, that must be protected so that people can use them.

00:19:30.000 In that destruction and damage, we all got mad.

00:19:33.000 And there are regulations to prevent them from doing this.

00:19:36.000 What I see with big tech and social media is them shutting down legal, political speech in the commons, where we have our... They've taken over the town square.

00:19:46.000 People aren't going out and going to church to talk anymore.

00:19:48.000 They're not going to community centers.

00:19:49.000 They're doing it on Twitter.

00:19:50.000 And the big tech companies shut that down, and I believe they need to be regulated in some capacity.

00:19:55.000 And this sounds like a good solution.

00:19:57.000 Allow people to get an injunction.

00:19:58.000 Well, this latest news definitely made me feel more Polish and proud from my home country, but we have to understand Europe has been taking a very different approach than the United States when it comes to big tech for a long time.

00:20:10.000 When it comes to regulations, fines, and penalties, social media has been kind of pushed back there more than I would say anywhere else in the world, but also Specifically with Poland and other countries like Hungary, I also recently saw an article saying that the Biden administration is eyeing Poland and Hungary to get back at it for some of the kind of close relations that they had previously with Donald Trump, and because of their implementation of policies that don't go along with, of course, the kind of global order that some people want to push.

00:20:40.000 The global reset, immigration, nationalism, those are key important issues that Poland and Hungary hold

00:20:46.000 close to their heart.

00:20:48.000 That of course is different than the rest of Europe.

00:20:49.000 And that's why we're seeing the Biden administration kind of set its eyes

00:20:54.000 on that specific region because they're going to be implementing policies

00:20:56.000 that are going to affect it in very negative ways.

00:20:59.000 And you especially see this with Hungary, where you had the State Department actually funding

00:21:02.000 opposition media in Hungary.

00:21:04.000 The reason why they particularly dislike that country is because Hungary is trying to get the NGOs out of the

00:21:09.000 country The NGOs are, of course, arms of U.S.

00:21:12.000 influence abroad.

00:21:13.000 They're all funded by USAID or the State Department.

00:21:15.000 Didn't they ban Soros?

00:21:17.000 They banned the Soros NGOs.

00:21:18.000 Yes, it was quite a while ago.

00:21:20.000 You know, it's interesting.

00:21:20.000 I think you were telling me something, Luke, because I grew up on the south side of Chicago in a very Polish neighborhood.

00:21:26.000 And of course, there's always the stereotype about Polish people not being smart.

00:21:30.000 You mentioned that it was because the Soviet Union executed the intelligentsia of Poland.

00:21:34.000 Yes, well when Russia came in, they took a lot of the professionals, whether doctors, whether professors, teachers, and they executed a lot of them or sent some of them to Siberia in order to gain cultural control of larger institutions that they were able to implement communism that the Polish people hated and they resisted. 0.98

00:21:56.000 And that's one of the reasons why this kind of labeling by the Russians as Poles as being stupid is kind of prevalent. 0.93

00:22:02.000 But also, if you look at it, Polish people actually have a very high IQ, especially compared to that region. 0.99

00:22:08.000 But specifically, it didn't work.

00:22:11.000 But another thing I want to bring up, because I saw a tweet, I don't know exactly who said this, but it was by a left-wing verified user talking about how he wants to make sure that Trump supporters can't ever be teachers, Yeah.

00:22:21.000 professors and any kind of workers that have any kind of work that has kind of

00:22:28.000 powers to be a boss or to influence yes I don't know the exact tweet so I don't

00:22:32.000 want to mention it you know directly but but we're seeing kind of similar

00:22:36.000 epithets being issued by blue checkmark verify Twitter users that are worrying

00:22:41.000 and that do echo some other historical historical timelines that are troublesome.

00:22:46.000 And John Brennan saying that no one who served in the Trump administration should ever get

00:22:49.000 a job anywhere else.

00:22:50.000 It reminds me of de-Barthification in Iraq. 0.98

00:22:55.000 Anyone who was part of the Barth party, you can't let them do anything.

00:22:57.000 They're excluded from society.

00:22:59.000 And it's the same people doing it.

00:23:00.000 That's literally what we were talking about yesterday, that brought onto the onset of ISIS.

00:23:04.000 That was one of the key moves, according to many strategists, that brought ISIS to the national stage, was that particular move that you brought up.

00:23:11.000 Sorry, go ahead Tim.

00:23:12.000 No, I was going to say, I think the thing you were saying about Poland is really interesting because, yeah, they wanted to get rid of the intelligentsia, the thought leaders, the cultural leaders in Poland.

00:23:21.000 And we're seeing a similar thing with mass censorship.

00:23:25.000 They want to take out the influential people of, you know, right-wing populism.

00:23:28.000 And at the same time, what you see with Poland is a deep hatred for communism and fascism or Nazism, because they were oppressed by both.

00:23:37.000 So now you have this country that's like, we're gonna defend the right of our citizens because we know exactly what it leads to, regardless if you're left-wing or right-wing.

00:23:46.000 I remember seeing a meme recently and it said, dangerous tools of insurrection.

00:23:51.000 And it had a guitar and it had a paintbrush.

00:23:55.000 And we have to understand here, the bigger cultural aspects and institutions are pretty much more and more political for a reason.

00:24:02.000 And they're extorting a lot of that power, a lot of that kind of culture, a lot of that kind of influence in ways that really should make people question what's really going on here.

00:24:11.000 But you can tell how the tech companies really messed up because it's not just Poland and Hungary who have been opposed to Internet censorship for a while, and Poland was working on this before the Trump bans, so was Hungary, but it's also alarmed Germany and France and the UK and Australia because, you know, all of those countries, you know, they run by fairly, you know, neoliberal or left-wing governments, especially Germany, and they have hate speech laws on the books.

00:24:36.000 But they look at what Silicon Valley is doing and are thinking, well, hold on, it's our job to define what hate speech is.

00:24:42.000 That's a job of our national parliaments, our governments.

00:24:45.000 We're not going to have Silicon Valley come in and set the rules for us.

00:24:47.000 Yeah, many people don't understand, in large parts of Europe, if you utter some words together, you literally will end up in jail.

00:24:54.000 There's people who just said particular sounds, they are in jail.

00:24:58.000 We in the United States have an amazing Right, that's inherent for I think everyone to be able to exercise our free speech.

00:25:07.000 But again, that is directly under threat right now with all the major avenues of communication squashing down and making sure people can't have a voice online.

00:25:16.000 Well, this is an interesting question, because are the government consequences worse now than the corporate consequences in America?

00:25:22.000 So, at least in Europe, you know, when the state defines hate speech, that's governed by some form of parliamentary procedure.

00:25:29.000 There's a democratic process.

00:25:30.000 It's transparent.

00:25:31.000 They can't just change it overnight.

00:25:33.000 And they can't apply it arbitrarily.

00:25:34.000 It has to apply to everyone according to the law.

00:25:36.000 And there's accountability in a court proceeding.

00:25:38.000 That happens.

00:25:39.000 Sorry, go ahead.

00:25:40.000 Indeed.

00:25:40.000 And whereas Silicon Valley, they can change it overnight.

00:25:42.000 They can apply it just to one set of people and not to another.

00:25:46.000 Uh, and, uh, the consequences can potentially be more severe.

00:25:49.000 You could lose your entire livelihood, your entire business.

00:25:51.000 Whereas in Europe, mostly, you might get a fine.

00:25:54.000 Uh, it was Count Dankula, right, who got like an 800 pound fine?

00:25:57.000 Is that worse than being demonetized by YouTube?

00:25:59.000 I think being demonetized is worse, right?

00:26:01.000 But following the arrest and the smears, he did get that as well.

00:26:04.000 You know, it was an arrest, it was a charge, it was, you know, criminal trial.

00:26:07.000 And then Silicon Valley piles on as well.

00:26:09.000 Exactly, exactly.

00:26:10.000 I'll tell you what's scarier than Twitter banning someone.

00:26:13.000 What's scary is banks banning people or vendors banning people.

00:26:17.000 What we're seeing now is one of the most, look, I'll say the word dystopian, nightmarish, all that stuff.

00:26:24.000 But let me just stress this point.

00:26:26.000 We are in this space now where almost every corporation is terrified of everyone walking in lockstep.

00:26:35.000 And banning any wrong thinker.

00:26:37.000 It doesn't matter if there's a government doing it.

00:26:40.000 This is scarier.

00:26:42.000 There's no head to this hydra or this snake.

00:26:44.000 It is literally a chicken with no head running around freaking out.

00:26:47.000 And so you'll get... So there was a tweet where some guy was applying for a company.

00:26:52.000 They found out that he was a Trump supporter and he had actively supported Trump, you know, quite heavily.

00:26:56.000 So they were just like, they fired him.

00:26:58.000 That's where we're headed.

00:26:59.000 We're headed to where the company will say something like, look man, I honestly, I voted for the guy, but, you know, the activists, so, we can't hire you.

00:27:07.000 And then you see what happens to Parler.

00:27:09.000 You see what the CEO of Parler just said?

00:27:11.000 He doesn't think Parler's coming back.

00:27:13.000 It may never return.

00:27:14.000 Wow.

00:27:15.000 Yep.

00:27:15.000 Because no one will work with them.

00:27:17.000 And the left says, see, the free market.

00:27:20.000 I'm like, it's a really good point about the problems of a free market in that there could be an ideology behind whether or not anyone would do business with you.

00:27:28.000 I mean, I would argue, I guess, philosophically, a free market is free from overarching ideologies that would impede or shut down.

00:27:35.000 But where we're at now, it is worse.

00:27:38.000 It is the Mexican standoff of cancel culture. 0.67

00:27:42.000 Every single person now, whether they like it or not, are scared about what will happen.

00:27:47.000 There are companies that I know, or I should say I have friends who are associated with certain companies.

00:27:52.000 They like Trump, or they love Trump, or they're neutral and don't care.

00:27:55.000 But they all recognize if anyone finds out, we'll lose everything.

00:28:00.000 Why?

00:28:01.000 Because everyone is scared of everyone else.

00:28:04.000 No one knows who's going to be the person to raise the pitchfork.

00:28:06.000 Why are you scared of these people?

00:28:08.000 The only way this stops is if people say, I don't care.

00:28:10.000 You can yell on the internet, so what?

00:28:12.000 I mean, John Stuart Mill talked about the tyranny of the majority, where everyone sort of behaves in a way and, you know, clamps down on Trump.

00:28:20.000 But this is less tyranny of the majority, because then if you ask the majority of people, do you think, you know, people who support Trump should be able to have jobs?

00:28:27.000 I mean, I think most people would agree with that.

00:28:29.000 This is the kind, it's tyranny of herd behavior.

00:28:32.000 Right.

00:28:32.000 Of a very specific group of people who are in power and all believe this.

00:28:35.000 But it's a very small group of people who just happen to be running all the corporations.

00:28:40.000 It is people scared of being called a racist.

00:28:42.000 And so they're like, but if I serve this person, then they'll call me a racist.

00:28:45.000 So what?

00:28:46.000 God, just grow up, man.

00:28:48.000 I can't believe that there are businesses that were like, we can't do, we can't work with you, parlor.

00:28:52.000 We're scared. 0.98

00:28:53.000 Yeah, that's pathetic. 0.99

00:28:54.000 And you know what? 0.99

00:28:55.000 This is on conservatives too.

00:28:56.000 You have to vote with your dollars.

00:28:57.000 Do not support anybody who would bow and bend to this herd, uh, you know, what did you call it?

00:29:03.000 Herd tyranny? 1.00

00:29:04.000 Yeah, tyranny of the herd.

00:29:06.000 behavior. Right. We can't we can't do this. If someone's gonna bend the knee to a bunch

00:29:11.000 of screaming people, then we're not gonna be able to function. All right. So you need

00:29:16.000 to be able to run your business and stand up for what you believe in. And yet the problem

00:29:19.000 is, I think Republicans, the political party is a spineless massive, there's, I'm sorry,

00:29:26.000 It's a bowl of spaghetti.

00:29:27.000 It's a bunch of wet noodles flopping around in Congress who, for years, knew this problem existed.

00:29:33.000 And you know what I said in 2018? 1.00

00:29:35.000 I said Republicans are too stupid to know... They're too stupid to address the problem of big tech censorship. 1.00

00:29:42.000 And that's the politicians. 1.00

00:29:43.000 There are some people who have consistently brought, Republicans, who have brought forth bills challenging this, calling out big tech.

00:29:49.000 My respect to them.

00:29:50.000 But most of them have just been flopping around like wet noodles, doing whatever they're told.

00:29:54.000 Then you end up with someone like Jared Kushner.

00:29:57.000 Brad Parscale tells Donald Trump, get on Parler, get on a different platform.

00:30:01.000 And then Trump says, what do you think?

00:30:02.000 To Jared.

00:30:03.000 And Kushner goes, nah, don't do it.

00:30:05.000 And Trump goes, okay.

00:30:06.000 And now here you are.

00:30:07.000 Now, hold on.

00:30:09.000 Trump's lucky.

00:30:10.000 Because while he may not have had the understanding or experience to actually solve this, and was getting bad advice from people like Kushner, other people saw it coming.

00:30:18.000 And lo and behold, Gab.com has archived and backed up the real Donald Trump account, verified 1.2 million followers, and all of his tweets, up until the point... I think there's some tweets that are missing.

00:30:30.000 But for the most part, his entire account is here, with videos and statements, and at any point, Trump could just use it.

00:30:36.000 Now, my question is, right now, why isn't Trump using it?

00:30:39.000 Why doesn't he still just go on, use Gab?

00:30:43.000 There it is.

00:30:44.000 Well, he'd overload the site for sure, because they have their own infrastructure, but at a certain point, Trump should just, okay, I'll use whatever platform I can. 1.00

00:30:52.000 He's one of those stupid Republicans, man. 0.99

00:30:56.000 I think Trump's old and he's, and, and I don't even know if he, actually, I'll tell you this. 1.00

00:31:02.000 There was a, uh, Donald Trump's schedule post went out.

00:31:04.000 I don't know if it was real, but it said something like Trump is going to be working very, very hard.

00:31:07.000 He'll be working all day, working very hard.

00:31:09.000 And people were like... Oh, having many meetings and many phone calls.

00:31:12.000 And people were like, did Trump write this?

00:31:14.000 Like, it sounds just like he wrote it.

00:31:16.000 Yeah.

00:31:16.000 Did you saw that?

00:31:17.000 I did.

00:31:18.000 Yeah.

00:31:18.000 So maybe it's just that he doesn't have any advice anymore and he's just not talking to anybody and he's sitting around like, I don't know.

00:31:24.000 Was it written in Sharpie?

00:31:27.000 This is great what Gab did because even if you don't like the president or if you like the president, this is an important historical record where major events unfolded on that Twitter account that are historically relevant.

00:31:43.000 I mean, the bigger question that you kind of mentioned here, what's stopping him?

00:31:47.000 I don't think anything should be.

00:31:48.000 I think he should be using any kind of platform that promotes free speech.

00:31:52.000 Look, he just did this statement saying, like, no violence and all that, but he also said, I want to call out the big tech censorship.

00:31:59.000 Well, bro, just go on.

00:32:01.000 Get on Gab.

00:32:01.000 Yeah, go on Gab.

00:32:02.000 Yeah, get on Gab.

00:32:03.000 There you go.

00:32:05.000 There needs to be industry-wide reform to a number of industries, including banking, including credit cards, including big tech, because you can't have a situation where you've got a two-tiered society where some people have access to the economy and some people don't.

00:32:17.000 But I will say, Gab.com is the one example of build-your-own actually working, because they had many, many challenges.

00:32:22.000 They lost their web host.

00:32:24.000 They lost their DNS registrar.

00:32:26.000 But they overcame all that.

00:32:27.000 They built their own servers.

00:32:28.000 They're building their own phones.

00:32:30.000 They're building their own phones.

00:32:30.000 They built their own web browser.

00:32:32.000 Servers, yep. 0.82

00:32:33.000 I mean, they're having trouble handling the traffic right now.

00:32:35.000 They've got a huge surge.

00:32:36.000 They're bringing more servers online, but you know, they're still up and running.

00:32:39.000 They haven't taken them out.

00:32:40.000 Although I will say, just today we're seeing that now the desperation of the people who don't want internet freedom.

00:32:47.000 The Anti-Defamation League has petitioned the Justice Department to launch a criminal investigation into Gab.

00:32:53.000 Really?

00:32:54.000 For hosting violent content.

00:32:55.000 Well, there you go.

00:32:56.000 See, now they're trying to get into the criminal realm, but We'll see how that plays out.

00:33:02.000 Now here's where it gets real scary.

00:33:05.000 HSBC says customers who refuse to wear a face mask will have their accounts withdrawn.

00:33:11.000 The lender reiterated the face masks are mandatory in all branches unless legally exempt, warning customers that non-compliance could result in accounts being closed.

00:33:21.000 Now that is where things start getting worrisome.

00:33:24.000 Now look, look.

00:33:25.000 I got no problem wearing a mask.

00:33:27.000 I really don't care.

00:33:28.000 I don't know.

00:33:28.000 People really don't like it.

00:33:29.000 They want to defy it.

00:33:30.000 I get it.

00:33:31.000 Some people really are medically exempt.

00:33:33.000 But the issue is not so much about, you know, but they should wear a mask.

00:33:37.000 You know, it's an issue of when you threaten someone's access to the economy in general, when we're already a point where like 99% of all currency is digital and not even physical, that people would lose the right to bank.

00:33:50.000 That.

00:33:51.000 That cancel culture.

00:33:52.000 Why do we not have national banks?

00:33:54.000 What's going on?

00:33:54.000 Why do we have private banks all over the place?

00:33:56.000 It's crazy.

00:33:57.000 I mean, there's problems with national banks, too.

00:33:59.000 Well, at least the government can control them.

00:34:01.000 And that's us.

00:34:02.000 We have the opportunity to control them and say, no, you can't censor American citizens.

00:34:06.000 That's us?

00:34:07.000 You think you could petition Nancy Pelosi to do something?

00:34:10.000 It's a big problem because we're in a situation where these private companies, we need to protect ourselves.

00:34:17.000 We need to use our government.

00:34:19.000 I'm not a huge fan of using the government, but in this case, we have global private companies that are threatening our sovereignty and we need to use our government to protect us.

00:34:28.000 Right, but not national banks, probably a regulation.

00:34:32.000 Well, good news on this.

00:34:33.000 One of the good things that Trump did right just in the past few months was an order from the office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which is an office I didn't know existed.

00:34:42.000 But they put out a regulation against debanking.

00:34:46.000 I'm not sure if it's gone through yet.

00:34:48.000 they were doing the whole notice of comment period where they were taking in

00:34:50.000 feedback from the public but it specifically said people have been

00:34:53.000 trying to use banks for political reasons to withdraw service from

00:34:58.000 the gun industry, from private prisons and this new rule essentially says that

00:35:04.000 if you're going to withdraw service to someone it must be because of financial

00:35:06.000 risk so you know because of defaulted loans or or you know the normal reasons

00:35:12.000 why you wouldn't extend service to someone.

00:35:14.000 That's good.

00:35:15.000 There still is the problem that there are attacks that activists do where they use fraudulent cards to cause massive chargebacks and massive fraud, you know.

00:35:23.000 That's what happened to Gab, actually.

00:35:24.000 That is a problem.

00:35:25.000 Yeah.

00:35:25.000 Well, what's next?

00:35:26.000 If you don't bend the knee, your bank account's going to be deleted? 0.96

00:35:29.000 I mean, it's absolutely ridiculous. 0.90

00:35:31.000 They already did it! 0.97

00:35:32.000 That was my next point.

00:35:33.000 There's a large number of people that had their bank accounts taken away because of their political opinion.

00:35:39.000 And when we look at HSBC, they don't have the best reputation themselves.

00:35:43.000 If you remember at Occupy Wall Street, me and you actually met a HSBC whistleblower.

00:35:48.000 We actually talked about even doing a bigger story with another news organization about that.

00:35:52.000 that exposed, we were the first story that kind of broke it, how HSBC helped terrorists, Iran, Mexican drug cartels launder money.

00:36:00.000 And that was another huge issue about this, you know, a record of this company that did awful things now lecturing us about what is right and good for you. 0.95

00:36:08.000 I mean, it's just ridiculous.

00:36:10.000 I'm not going to take their advice seriously because they don't get to choose what I do in my own personal life.

00:36:15.000 Well, look, I think I need to change my bank account.

00:36:18.000 HSBC in the US and in the UK.

00:36:20.000 Look, if there's a physical building that's privately owned and they say you have to wear a mask, the extent to what their powers should be is, please leave until you have a mask on.

00:36:28.000 That's it.

00:36:29.000 Banking needs some kind of protections.

00:36:31.000 Look, man, it's remarkable that I've always been in favor of curtailing power, be it government or corporate power.

00:36:40.000 So I'm in favor of regulations.

00:36:41.000 I'm in favor of leveraging government against corporations that are too big, too powerful, especially individuals who would use that power and access to manipulate the political sphere.

00:36:51.000 Because if we don't deal with that, and perhaps it's too late, you know, I've heard this, you know, in the past decade or so from the left, that it's too late to actually make a difference.

00:36:59.000 Because we are a... Remember that Citibank report?

00:37:03.000 You guys remember this back in like, it was during Act by Wall Street?

00:37:05.000 They said the U.S.

00:37:07.000 government is no longer a democratic republic.

00:37:09.000 Or a constitutional republic, it is a plutonomy, where the ruling class of elites and wealthy control everything.

00:37:15.000 And there was a study that showed that public perception and public opinion had no impact at all on legislation.

00:37:23.000 None.

00:37:24.000 And that the impact was the opinions of lobbyists and the wealthy elites.

00:37:28.000 That's what Occupy Wall Street was upset with.

00:37:31.000 And you know what's interesting?

00:37:33.000 I actually think Donald Trump is the evolution of Occupy Wall Street in many ways.

00:37:38.000 Don't get me wrong, Bernie Sanders was some of it.

00:37:40.000 It's like Occupy split a little bit.

00:37:42.000 Many went to Bernie.

00:37:43.000 Interestingly though, once Bernie sold out and went full-on establishment, he retained a lot of those people from Occupy.

00:37:49.000 Probably because their issues during Occupy was more, I don't know, social justice.

00:37:53.000 But a lot of the people who supported Trump, many of them were Occupy Wall Street activists.

00:37:58.000 I remember I was at the Deplora Ball just before Trump was getting inaugurated, and there were people there who saw me and they were like, hey, we're big fans.

00:38:04.000 And I was like, wow, Trump supporters?

00:38:07.000 Big fans of mine?

00:38:08.000 And they were like, oh yeah, we were big Occupy Wall Street activists.

00:38:11.000 And I was like, really?

00:38:12.000 And they're like, oh yeah.

00:38:14.000 This is why Trump won in 2016, because he called out the plutonomy.

00:38:18.000 He did call it something different.

00:38:19.000 He said there's a class of global elites that get away with everything and run everything.

00:38:23.000 You don't really have a democratic republic anymore.

00:38:25.000 He's basically saying the same thing that was in that report.

00:38:28.000 Yeah, there's also a lot of Occupy Wall Street people who are like, burn it all down, let's vote for him, let's vote against the establishment.

00:38:35.000 And another thing, specifically connecting Occupy Wall Street and HSBC, there was a huge backlash against the banks, specifically HSBC for this money laundering, where they ended up paying a 1.9 billion dollar fine in 2012 for that horrible action that they were caught with their pants down on the laundering for drug cartels.

00:38:55.000 So again, we found their cudgel bro. Yeah, so they can get away with the worst atrocities these big corporations, man 0.80

00:39:02.000 I love it these big corporations Disney the week that thanking the the paramilitary group in in was it Jinjang?

00:39:09.000 where the the weaker Muslims are in concentration camp, thank you for for helping us produce this movie and

00:39:14.000 Then they can come out with all of their social justice narratives and statements and everyone just rolls with it

00:39:19.000 You know what I think the reality is though? 1.00

00:39:22.000 They got their useful idiots. 1.00

00:39:23.000 They got their personalities who hate Trump and just want to own the cons and all that stuff. 1.00

00:39:28.000 I think most people get it though.

00:39:31.000 I think most people understand there's a problem with big corporations.

00:39:35.000 Unfortunately, many of them got wrapped up in Trump derangement syndrome, because the strategy from the major media and these companies works.

00:39:42.000 You just keep screaming Black Lives Matter is okay, and then you blame the Trump supporters for everything. 0.98

00:39:48.000 And when that narrative is just repeated over and over and over, What ends up happening is you've got people who only watch mainstream news, and every version of a Trump supporter they see is the angry, loud, spitting, disrespectful lunatic.

00:40:02.000 And they don't see a regular person, you know, they don't see a... Will Chamberlain, for instance, we just referenced one of his articles.

00:40:08.000 Suit-wearing, lawyer, calm, very vanilla, they don't see that.

00:40:11.000 Uh, excuse me.

00:40:12.000 Hey, we're all dressed up for this appearance.

00:40:14.000 But right, but like, you could go to a, you know, I was just out shopping, and the lady, you know, at the store, she's like a Trump supporter, and she's a regular little old lady, like, you know, serving baked goods. 0.96

00:40:24.000 They see the TV, they live in big cities, so they don't encounter very many Trump supporters, and if they do, those people won't admit it, so they don't realize it, and they watch the CNN, and they just rag on Trump all day and night, and then they're told all the riots are good.

00:40:38.000 And that shapes their worldview and they don't realize.

00:40:40.000 I think you mentioned it earlier that the left and the right populists agree on a lot more than they disagree on, but it's, it's, it's an excellent way to get away with slave labor and concentration camps. 0.62

00:40:53.000 Cause all they got to do is put out their little commercial where they're like, we're for social justice.

00:40:57.000 And then, you know, put up a rainbow flag and then they, and that's it.

00:41:00.000 No outrage, no media, uh, you know, complaints.

00:41:03.000 And it really does come down to, you know, where you stand on the woke stuff.

00:41:06.000 Where do you stand on critical race theory or feminism or so.

00:41:09.000 And that's what divides a lot of people.

00:41:12.000 And, you know, some people, you know, theorize that corporations support woke stuff for precisely this reason.

00:41:18.000 I don't agree with that.

00:41:18.000 I think they genuinely believe this stuff.

00:41:20.000 But it's inconsequential at the end of the day, and this is what allows the sort of uniparty to maintain power.

00:41:29.000 You know what?

00:41:30.000 I hear what you're saying, and I've just had a realization.

00:41:32.000 I've been wrong this whole time.

00:41:34.000 The woke stuff is good.

00:41:36.000 It's great.

00:41:37.000 Ian, did you know the Federal Reserve is run by old white men? 1.00

00:41:41.000 Well, let's burn it down, then. 0.99

00:41:42.000 No, no, no, no, no. 0.99

00:41:44.000 We need to get the old white men out and diversify the Federal Reserve. 1.00

00:41:47.000 We need new rules, new regulations, and we need hard oversight to make sure that all of the people who are sitting in seats of power at the Federal Reserve are no longer there anymore because they're white men. 0.95

00:41:57.000 Down with the patriarchy.

00:41:58.000 Down with the patriarchy.

00:41:59.000 Alright, we're all in agreement, everybody agrees, that the banking system is run by old white men, which it is, and therefore, we need diversity in the banking system. 0.94

00:42:07.000 No, don't use evil to accomplish your goals.

00:42:09.000 I'm kidding, I'm kidding! 0.90

00:42:11.000 The joke is, I'm curious, because we did mention this the other day, like, where is anyone to just be like, screw it, okay, I'm down with the wokeness, hey look, the military-industrial complex is a bunch of white people too. 0.73

00:42:24.000 Well, that's like using evil to accomplish your goals.

00:42:26.000 That's part of the problem with using fascism to get Trump out of office, to use social media.

00:42:33.000 It's like, you shouldn't use evil and use fascism to defeat your enemy.

00:42:39.000 Because it doesn't work.

00:42:40.000 It defeats your enemy, but it keeps fascism.

00:42:43.000 Yeah, it might destroy your enemy, but you're going to create what you use, the system you use.

00:42:47.000 So if you're using hatred, you're just going to...

00:42:50.000 You know, I was thinking about the banking systems and all this stuff and how really weird it is that it's just numbers typed in a computer and then a ledger keeping track of it.

00:43:01.000 And that's it.

00:43:02.000 That's all the money system really is.

00:43:03.000 It's powerful elites who run the banks, who decide who has access to resources.

00:43:09.000 It's essentially what we have now in this centralized banking system is a way to control absolute power in a country or countries.

00:43:18.000 While convincing people that they're voting in democratic institutions.

00:43:23.000 And the other way to control them is, of course, the tech giants now.

00:43:25.000 That's how you control communication.

00:43:27.000 And that's why they'll crush any and all competition.

00:43:30.000 That's why Parler was just obliterated.

00:43:33.000 If Trump, in the middle of the night, without saying a word to anyone, signed up for Parler and then posted, Trump is here, they would not have been able to have banned Parler.

00:43:42.000 It would have been too much.

00:43:44.000 Too many people would have known, it would have been a major story, and it would have been too much.

00:43:48.000 No, I think they would have done.

00:43:49.000 I don't think they really cared.

00:43:50.000 I think that might have even made them more determined to crush Parler.

00:43:53.000 I disagree.

00:43:53.000 I think the story would have been, it would have been too much for the average person to see that they annihilated an entire social network because Trump joined it.

00:44:02.000 They got rid of Parler before Trump joined it and they used BS reasons.

00:44:06.000 They, you know, Amazon said, we don't believe you'll be effective in your moderation.

00:44:10.000 What does that even mean?

00:44:10.000 How do you break a contract on what you believe might happen?

00:44:14.000 Is it as bad?

00:44:15.000 What could they do that would be worse than letting Hang Mike Pence trend, which is what Twitter did?

00:44:18.000 Or the fact now that it's starting to come out, the Capitol riots was organized on Facebook.

00:44:26.000 Glenn Greenwald reported that first, and now Facebook's going, well actually... How do you answer for that?

00:44:32.000 And there's even FBI reports of a supposed war coming to the Capitol with them knowing that there was a major clash point happening there that they chose to, what looks like, ignore and nothing was really done about it at all.

00:44:44.000 So that's yet another kind of thing to really kind of consider here moving forward.

00:44:48.000 Facebook is responsible.

00:44:50.000 I mean, it's not surprising.

00:44:51.000 You know, if you want to defend Facebook, by all means you can go ahead and do it.

00:44:54.000 It's the biggest platform, everybody uses it, so of course they're going to use their organizing tools.

00:44:58.000 The problem I have Isn't to blame Facebook because they exist.

00:45:02.000 The problem I have is the concerted effort from Silicon Valley to crush any rivals using fake reasons.

00:45:08.000 Like saying Parler had extremist content and they were organizing on Parler.

00:45:12.000 Well, as the CEO of Parler pointed out, we have no organizing system.

00:45:15.000 There's no way to organize events on Parler.

00:45:18.000 Facebook has events and groups.

00:45:19.000 Parler doesn't.

00:45:20.000 It doesn't make sense.

00:45:22.000 And Amazon claimed that they didn't believe the moderation would work.

00:45:25.000 Why?

00:45:26.000 Because the reality was, Parler was removing the threats and the violence.

00:45:30.000 They were doing exactly as they were supposed to, exactly as their rules stated, and getting rid of illegal content.

00:45:35.000 So Amazon had to say, well, we don't think future moderation will be effective.

00:45:39.000 Because the reality was, current moderation was.

00:45:41.000 And that's how they justify crushing it. 1.00

00:45:43.000 And then what happens is, you know, you have these useful idiot sycophants. 1.00

00:45:47.000 It's like, you guys ever watch that cartoon Recess? 1.00

00:45:49.000 You ever see that?

00:45:51.000 You don't remember Recess?

00:45:52.000 It's about the kids in the school inside Recess.

00:45:54.000 And there's like, I can't remember the old nasty teacher's name, and she was really mean to the kids. 0.99

00:45:59.000 And she had this little hunchback kid who was like her henchman, who would always do what she wanted. 0.99

00:46:03.000 That's journalism.

00:46:04.000 Awesome.

00:46:05.000 That's journalism.

00:46:06.000 Right?

00:46:07.000 It's like Igor.

00:46:08.000 They're like hobbling next to the establishment elites of the corporations.

00:46:11.000 Yes, Hillary, tell me what to do.

00:46:13.000 Ooh, Democrats.

00:46:14.000 Yes, you're a bad guy. 0.99

00:46:16.000 You're a bad guy. 0.99

00:46:17.000 Tell me that I'm doing a good job, Democrats.

00:46:19.000 That's the media.

00:46:21.000 The media has really been an engine of big tech censorship, even more than the tech companies themselves, I think.

00:46:25.000 Because every time a tech company wasn't censoring enough, wasn't doing it fast enough or whatever, you'd have this huge media campaign to start an ad boycott.

00:46:33.000 They did that to YouTube with the Adpocalypse.

00:46:35.000 They did it to Facebook just last summer because they weren't censoring enough of Donald Trump's ads.

00:46:40.000 So tech companies have to deal with that ever-present threat.

00:46:43.000 If they don't play ball, the media will start an ad boycott.

00:46:46.000 Well, that's even according to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with her statement today, who was saying that social media companies aren't censoring enough of speech and she, quote, wants to rein in the media to stop the spread of disinformation.

00:47:01.000 Those are her words that she used today as, of course, she was also calling for the banning of Parler.

00:47:07.000 She was also suggesting putting Trump supporters on lists so they could be, quote, held accountable for their actions and again when we look at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

00:47:16.000 she's kind of this kind of thought leader of the left that's very popular, that's 0.92

00:47:21.000 always promoted, always pushed, but she's pushing for some of the worst authoritarian draconian measures 1.00

00:47:26.000 that you could ever imagine and for some reason no one is even questioning it or trying to say hey this is not a good

00:47:33.000 idea.

00:47:33.000 Because they're scared of Antifa.

00:47:34.000 Look, listen, Antifa has created a culture of mainstream establishment protection to where it's like what I was

00:47:43.000 saying about these businesses that fall in line and ban parlor because they're scared.

00:47:47.000 CNN, MSNBC will defend Antifa.

00:47:49.000 Why?

00:47:49.000 Because they're terrified of them.

00:47:51.000 That's why when you saw that MSNBC guy, whatever his name was, standing in front of a building with like 50 foot tall flames And he goes, it's mostly peaceful.

00:47:59.000 Why?

00:47:59.000 He who's standing around these people.

00:48:01.000 Could you imagine what would happen if you walked into a crowd of Antifa and 0.77

00:48:04.000 Black Lives Matter who are burning down buildings and said, these violent lunatics are destroying buildings and setting 0.96

00:48:09.000 fire? 0.99

00:48:09.000 They'd be like, shut them down. 0.99

00:48:11.000 They were trying to obfuscate it when rioters were rioting and

00:48:14.000 breaking into the CNN building in Atlanta.

00:48:17.000 They're like, it was so amazing to see the perplexing reporting that was

00:48:22.000 happening when they were getting attacked in their own headquarters and

00:48:27.000 they were just having the most difficult time trying to break down what was

00:48:31.000 Look man, this is the problem that conservatives and Trump supporters have.

00:48:34.000 It is.

00:48:35.000 The powerful establishment elites are dangling keys in front of the Trump supporters in the direction of political institutions.

00:48:43.000 And that's what the Trump supporters are looking at.

00:48:45.000 Meanwhile, upstream where the politics comes from, the culture, the left has already taken over.

00:48:50.000 and they're using that against Trump supporters. So when the Trump supporters go to the Capitol,

00:48:55.000 everyone says that's horrible, why would you do that? But when the left goes with pitchforks to

00:49:00.000 Big Tac, to Silicon Valley, to the universities and spray paints things on the walls and starts

00:49:05.000 fires and burns down whole cities, well, that scares everybody into getting whipped in line.

00:49:10.000 I would say, I don't think...

00:49:12.000 Andrew Breitbart has said politics is downstream from culture.

00:49:15.000 The question has always been, how do you change that?

00:49:17.000 How do you change the culture when they have control over the institutions, the education system, Hollywood, now the big tech companies.

00:49:24.000 The algorithms.

00:49:25.000 The algorithms.

00:49:26.000 I mean, the internet was helping for a while.

00:49:29.000 I was saying, you know, that the one foothold that conservatives have in culture, every single meme that millennials use probably came from 4chan or Reddit, one of these very politically incorrect places, right?

00:49:39.000 But now they're shutting the internet off as well.

00:49:41.000 Now Reddit is very far left.

00:49:43.000 Oh yeah, Reddit is now.

00:49:44.000 They just shut down.

00:49:45.000 Not always, not always.

00:49:46.000 Reddit used to be free for all.

00:49:48.000 Yeah.

00:49:48.000 And they purged everything.

00:49:49.000 The number one post on Reddit that I saw today was a picture of Charlie Kirk saying that he's a domestic terrorist.

00:49:55.000 Everyone upvote this if you agree he's a domestic terrorist and it reached number one on all.

00:50:00.000 And it was shocking seeing the comments because there's a lot of Trump supporters that don't like Charlie Kirk.

00:50:05.000 And he's more of the establishment kind of Rhino Republican and not even the kind of outsider that a lot of people expect him to be. 0.75

00:50:13.000 What I do like is I'll go on Reddit sometimes and there will be a Charlie Kirk meme where they make his face really small.

00:50:20.000 And that's funny, though.

00:50:20.000 Like, making fun of somebody and you're like, whatever.

00:50:22.000 It's like, okay, you know, it's a funny meme.

00:50:24.000 His face shrinks as the more he says conservative things.

00:50:26.000 But when they say domestic terrorist, when they say threat to our safety, that's the kind of inflammatory rhetoric that leads to real-world violence.

00:50:34.000 I'm not saying they can't say it.

00:50:35.000 Don't get me wrong.

00:50:35.000 Because I believe in free speech.

00:50:37.000 I'm just saying they shouldn't be going out claiming that the right is engaging in violent hate speech when it's literally what they do.

00:50:44.000 The crazy thing about it is, the front page of Reddit, the top of all, it's dominated by three different Ocasio-Cortez profiles.

00:50:52.000 All they do is repost AOC's tweets and then upvote them straight to the top.

00:50:56.000 That's what the Donald got banned for!

00:50:59.000 And now here we are with the exact same problem, which shows.

00:51:02.000 The people who ran Reddit, it's funny because I used to know them.

00:51:05.000 I used to hang out at their offices every so often.

00:51:07.000 A couple times, not like a whole lot.

00:51:10.000 And they used to just be very much, you know, what people like they like, what they upvote they upvote.

00:51:14.000 And then I guess they're in a city and you had, you know, let me tell you something.

00:51:18.000 I talked to some very powerful Democratic donors.

00:51:21.000 Who are looking at ways to create apps that would function like social media platforms and would actually be campaign tools.

00:51:29.000 Like the idea at first, this was a long time ago, it was like 2014.

00:51:32.000 They were like, how do we create an app for the campaign that functions like Reddit?

00:51:36.000 And so I had meetings with people and they never really went anywhere.

00:51:39.000 And then to see what's happened now with the astroturfing of a place like Reddit.

00:51:44.000 If you post a conservative opinion, or even a moderate one, you're obliterated.

00:51:47.000 You're gone.

00:51:48.000 Your comment doesn't exist.

00:51:49.000 Everything is dominated by the left, but the extremist tribal left. 0.96

00:51:53.000 It's not even about... That's why I said earlier, it's tribalism.

00:51:56.000 It's not even about economic policy.

00:51:58.000 Like, think about if I came forward and I said, I believe we should have more progressive tax brackets.

00:52:01.000 They'd be like, well, you're far right.

00:52:04.000 In what capacity is that far?

00:52:05.000 It doesn't matter.

00:52:06.000 Because tribalism has nothing to do with what your politics are.

00:52:09.000 It has to do with who you align with.

00:52:10.000 That's like the, uh, the tribalist is like the, it's like the distant hand of the control of the culture, which is the rich people.

00:52:18.000 It's the money.

00:52:19.000 And it has been for probably since the beginning of time, since the creation of currency or wealth in general.

00:52:24.000 used to be gold, it was salt. And then in the 70s, they turned it into fiat. So now it's just whoever

00:52:29.000 has the most numbers in their bank account. But now there's this for the last 50 years,

00:52:34.000 it's been such a mind F screw that like, people don't know who controls the culture.

00:52:40.000 And there's like this, this this this combat conflict at the top.

00:52:45.000 And now there's cryptocurrency appearing.

00:52:47.000 But it's the rich people that are controlling the culture, which then

00:52:51.000 it is a politics.

00:52:53.000 And they're using these tribalist ventures to, God forbid, create war.

00:53:00.000 But I think maybe like the great reset and they really want the United States to fight itself because it's it's

00:53:06.000 standing in the way of like a socialist dictatorship.

00:53:09.000 The problem is where power actually lies in society has been kind of concealed for a while.

00:53:13.000 People still think that, you know, the Senate or the House of Representatives is really important.

00:53:18.000 That's really just political theater.

00:53:20.000 Just look at how they behave with the tech giants, right?

00:53:21.000 They bring him in for hearings every few months and then do absolutely nothing after the hearings.

00:53:26.000 Most power now lies in the federal bureaucracy, political power anyway, and the rest of the power lies, as we've seen, in the tech giants, with the banks, with the corporations.

00:53:36.000 I think it's almost like the elections I've often felt have been pointless.

00:53:40.000 And only after Donald Trump won did I go like, wow, you know, maybe voting is, it does matter.

00:53:45.000 Like, wow, I can't believe Trump won.

00:53:47.000 But now I still feel very similarly.

00:53:49.000 Trump won.

00:53:49.000 And so what?

00:53:51.000 No, honestly, look, he won.

00:53:52.000 The Republicans were in power.

00:53:53.000 They didn't do anything.

00:53:54.000 They didn't give, they didn't help Trump at all.

00:53:56.000 They just sit on their hands.

00:53:57.000 And I think it's basically what you said.

00:54:00.000 It's almost like they're, you know, like Queen Elizabeth.

00:54:03.000 Everybody loves her, you know, in the UK.

00:54:05.000 But what does she do? 1.00

00:54:06.000 She is the head of state, but they say her role is mostly ceremonial.

00:54:09.000 She does have the executive authority, right, to like override and make these... 0.94

00:54:12.000 Yeah, in theory, but she never does. 0.98

00:54:15.000 And that's what I feel like we have now.

00:54:17.000 When you watch that hearing where Ted Cruz, he's like, you're censoring conservatives.

00:54:21.000 And it's like, that's right, Ted, you tell them that afterwards we'll go- Yeah, what are you gonna do?

00:54:25.000 Yeah, what are you gonna do?

00:54:26.000 Now again, there are some Republicans who have presented bills to do stuff, and then no one sponsors them, they don't get voted on, they don't go anywhere.

00:54:31.000 So it's almost kinda just ceremonial at this point.

00:54:34.000 Yep.

00:54:34.000 Are you guys prequel fans?

00:54:36.000 The Star Wars prequels?

00:54:37.000 You remember how in The Phantom Menace... The Phantom Menace somehow got politics right, okay?

00:54:43.000 Because the entire first half of the movie is about the queen of the planet who's just been invaded trying to get to the Republic Senate and make her case.

00:54:53.000 And when she gets there, they demand more proof of this so-called invasion.

00:54:59.000 I think what you said about the kind of corporate elite being in charge is absolutely true.

00:55:02.000 And when we really look at it, it's not just a corporate elite.

00:55:04.000 That was a perfect allegory.

00:55:06.000 I think what you said about the kind of corporate elite being in charge is absolutely true.

00:55:11.000 And when we really look at it, it's not just a corporate elite.

00:55:14.000 It's a corporate banking billionaire elite that's absolutely unaccountable and commits

00:55:18.000 some of the worst human atrocities that they're never held accountable for, whether it's Monsanto,

00:55:23.000 BP, Coca-Cola, Nike.

00:55:25.000 They have a horrendous record of abuse of civil rights, of human rights abuses that deserve to be addressed, and yet they're lecturing us about how we should live our lives.

00:55:36.000 They're lecturing us about social justice.

00:55:38.000 It's absolutely absurd, but they're becoming more emboldened with what they could think that they could get away with telling us to do.

00:55:45.000 And I don't understand how people are okay with this and totally forget the history of union organizers being killed by cartel members, which a lot of people point directly to Coca-Cola for organizing.

00:55:57.000 You see that meme?

00:55:59.000 The left used to understand this, but then they got distracted by transgender pronouns.

00:56:02.000 Yes. 0.97

00:56:03.000 You see this meme where it's a pig with a monocle and a top hat, and it says, buy our product. 0.83

00:56:08.000 And there's an Antifa guy and he's yelling.

00:56:09.000 And then below it, it says, buy our product, but product is big and rainbow.

00:56:13.000 And the person takes his mask off.

00:56:14.000 He's like, oh, I guess that works.

00:56:17.000 You know, it's amazing to me how you have this tribalism on the left, which I believe is really rooted in, not entirely, but mostly rooted in hating conservatives and thinking they're evil.

00:56:31.000 Whereas, as the saying goes, you know, the left thinks conservatives are evil, the conservatives thinks that the left is misguided.

00:56:39.000 Conservatives care about being left alone.

00:56:42.000 Simple policy.

00:56:43.000 It's often the arguments you'll hear from right-wing individuals.

00:56:46.000 Not entirely.

00:56:47.000 The left, they do argue for things like universal healthcare and stuff, but at least online, it's very much owning the cons.

00:56:54.000 You do have the right version of that, but what I've noticed is that where do the seats of power lie on the left and the right?

00:57:01.000 On the right, it is not the QAnon people. 0.98

00:57:03.000 Certainly, they're influential in their own right, and that's kind of, you know, weird.

00:57:07.000 But the most prominent voices, and the most powerful and largest, are like a conservative ink, you know?

00:57:13.000 Run-of-the-mill, mainstream.

00:57:14.000 Look at Ben Shapiro.

00:57:16.000 He is your typical conservative.

00:57:18.000 He is particularly mainstream, you know, in terms of left or right.

00:57:22.000 Look at the left, though.

00:57:23.000 It's Ocasio-Cortez.

00:57:24.000 12 million followers, getting 100,000 concurrent views, not moderate mainstream Democrats.

00:57:31.000 So the Overton window has shifted to the left, and it's remarkable when I hear the left say it's shifted right.

00:57:35.000 I'm like, do you know anything about the past decade of politics?

00:57:39.000 Trump, it's like less war.

00:57:40.000 You know, what are you talking about?

00:57:42.000 I guess, you know what's funny?

00:57:44.000 It's nationalism when you don't want to go blow up other countries, and it's a bad thing.

00:57:47.000 I guess.

00:57:48.000 I keep thinking about the Saudi princes.

00:57:51.000 We talk about the wealthy elite of the globe as the banking system, but how do the princes and the kings of Assad tie into this?

00:57:58.000 Because they say Elon's the richest man in the world, but he's not.

00:58:01.000 He's just the richest man on the books.

00:58:03.000 You have the Saudi king and the princes that are like trillionaires.

00:58:07.000 They own the country and all the people in it.

00:58:10.000 When you said he was like a holdover of Occupy Wall Street, I don't agree.

00:58:14.000 I just think he happened to be rich, but he's a sellout.

00:58:16.000 He would have sold us out in a heartbeat.

00:58:17.000 That's not Trump.

00:58:19.000 It's the U.S. office of the presidency.

00:58:20.000 He did a weapons deal with us.

00:58:21.000 And it's the U.S. office of the presidency.

00:58:22.000 He authorized it.

00:58:23.000 It includes Trump.

00:58:24.000 But it's Trump.

00:58:25.000 It's Obama.

00:58:26.000 It's Bush.

00:58:27.000 It's Clinton.

00:58:28.000 It's all of them.

00:58:29.000 When you said he was like a holdover of Occupy Wall Street, I don't agree.

00:58:31.000 I just think he happened to be rich, but he's a sellout.

00:58:33.000 He would have sold us out in a heartbeat.

00:58:35.000 He did.

00:58:36.000 No, I think Trump was a raging bull that was stampeding through the ivory tower.

00:58:41.000 And so what Occupy Wall Street people were like, it's really interesting because it's split.

00:58:44.000 You had Bernie Sanders challenging the machine, but then he joined the machine.

00:58:47.000 And then you had Donald Trump who was as wealthy billionaire elite, who then started ranting and raving about how he didn't like it and challenging the establishment.

00:58:54.000 It's kind of weird how that twist occurred.

00:58:56.000 But I think you had a lot of people from Occupy who eventually just threw their arms in the air and said, send in the bull.

00:59:02.000 Like, you know what, man, what's going to fix this?

00:59:04.000 Just have him romp about for a little bit.

00:59:06.000 Yeah, I mean, so here's my take on Trump. 0.98

00:59:09.000 I mean, he was, as I said, you know, the raging bully. 0.98

00:59:11.000 He couldn't be controlled.

00:59:11.000 He was genuinely outside this system, and they couldn't control him.

00:59:16.000 But once he actually got power, he just got kind of completely ruled by the establishment.

00:59:21.000 You know, they got all the establishment Republicans, got their people in the administration, and nothing really started happening until the last year of the administration.

00:59:28.000 You know who I think is one of the most evil people on the planet?

00:59:32.000 It's Jack Dorsey.

00:59:33.000 I really do mean it.

00:59:34.000 Especially having talked to him a couple years ago and we've had some chat back and forth on Twitter and Twitter DMs and stuff.

00:59:40.000 I think his whole shtick is doing dramatically evil things and then, you know, putting a layer of, you know, covering it up and burying it under some, you know, lie about wanting to be better and do the right thing and how we're just... It's so hard for us.

00:59:59.000 Because he's got this statement he just put out.

01:00:00.000 Lydia pulled it up.

01:00:01.000 Where he talks about, he says, I do not celebrate or feel pride in having to ban real Donald Trump from Twitter.

01:00:06.000 We're trying so hard to, to build a new system, blah, blah, blah.

01:00:09.000 I don't believe it.

01:00:11.000 I think Jack is completely self-centered.

01:00:14.000 He is completely authoritarian.

01:00:16.000 He's one of the worst possible iterate like, uh, like versions of this idea of I'm smarter than you. 1.00

01:00:21.000 And I know it, you poor, stupid person. 1.00

01:00:23.000 So you think he's like a modern, uh, Robespierre? 1.00

01:00:26.000 No, not necessarily.

01:00:27.000 I mean, Robespierre was psychotic.

01:00:29.000 He wasn't at first.

01:00:30.000 They called him the uncorruptible.

01:00:32.000 So you're saying when Twitter tweeted yesterday that they strongly condemn internet shutdowns that are quote, hugely harmful because they violate basic human rights and the principles of the hashtag open internet, that they weren't genuine and honest?

01:00:46.000 This is psychological abuse.

01:00:49.000 It is as if he is punching you repeatedly in the stomach while saying he's so sorry, but it's your own fault and for your own good.

01:00:58.000 It is psychotic what Jack has consistently done for the past several years, promising roads to redemption and decentralization and blockchain technology.

01:01:06.000 We're going to do all these great things.

01:01:07.000 We're going to help everybody.

01:01:08.000 He is the spokesperson for gaslighting duplicitousness.

01:01:12.000 And that's what he's doing right now.

01:01:13.000 Twitter nuked 70,000 accounts, and they were not QAnon accounts.

01:01:18.000 One of them was Carrie Smith's account, Unsafe Spaces, which was just an intellectual dark web kind of middle-of-the-road liberal anti-woke account.

01:01:26.000 There was also some podcasts that were center-left but anti-woke that got banned, and then Jack comes out and says, oh, but we're trying so hard.

01:01:34.000 No, what he's doing to you is smacking you across the face, and then he's saying, it's for your own good.

01:01:39.000 Why do you make me do this to you?

01:01:40.000 And he says it every single time, and you keep going back to him.

01:01:45.000 I am so sick of Twitter.

01:01:48.000 I said it before, I was like, I'm not gonna use it, and I started using it again.

01:01:50.000 But I really do mean it.

01:01:52.000 When I said I wasn't gonna use Twitter meaningfully anymore, I'm just gonna post whatever, I did it.

01:01:57.000 I did.

01:01:58.000 I used to post my videos, I used to post articles, I used to actively engage.

01:02:02.000 Now I've slown all that down.

01:02:03.000 I'll still post some articles here and there I think are important, but now I just basically, I've been trolling.

01:02:07.000 It's really what I do.

01:02:08.000 I'll post something like, you know, I tweeted, and I just don't care anymore.

01:02:11.000 anything it's always trust the government to let us know about the

01:02:13.000 ongoing legitimacy of all these threats and to give up their power and I just

01:02:17.000 don't care anymore. Twitter is a trash platform led by extremely wealthy 0.99

01:02:22.000 manipulative authoritarians who think you are all too stupid to run your own 1.00

01:02:27.000 government and And he knows it. 1.00

01:02:29.000 You know what?

01:02:29.000 He can keep doing this.

01:02:31.000 But I think people realize that he's full of it.

01:02:34.000 That tweet about Uganda, coming right after this election, where just a couple months ago, Twitter blocked one of the most consequential stories of this election to protect Joe Biden.

01:02:45.000 The Hunter Biden story was blocked and shut down.

01:02:47.000 The New York Post was suspended.

01:02:49.000 And then Jack is like, well, it's a really hard decision, Hackmaterials. 0.99

01:02:51.000 Shut up. 0.95

01:02:52.000 I've got active tweets right now that are very serious violations of Twitter's rules that are a threat to me and my family. 0.98

01:02:59.000 They will not remove.

01:03:01.000 Why?

01:03:01.000 And Jack knows me because they are evil people who don't care.

01:03:06.000 They are duplicitous authoritarians. 0.81

01:03:08.000 I am sick of Twitter, man.

01:03:09.000 I'm sick of reading about what Jack is lying to about this time.

01:03:12.000 Meanwhile, he's making all this money and he doesn't actually care to help anybody.

01:03:16.000 Oh, but you know what they do?

01:03:17.000 These ultra-wealthy people use that extraction of resources.

01:03:21.000 Like, everything that's been happening over the past year where they've extracted all of our resources, they love it, and then what do they do?

01:03:26.000 You get people like Mackenzie Bezos dumping all of it into more manipulative, fundamentalist, leftist dogma.

01:03:33.000 And it's only—it's just gonna keep going.

01:03:34.000 Now, I'll tell you what the solution is.

01:03:36.000 Gab's got it.

01:03:36.000 Gab's got it right.

01:03:38.000 Persuasion.

01:03:39.000 It is—it is about being resourceful, clever, and doing hard work.

01:03:43.000 Gab built their own infrastructure.

01:03:46.000 Try and take them down. 0.57

01:03:47.000 They're going to keep doing it.

01:03:48.000 That's what you got to do.

01:03:49.000 The other thing I think is when we talk about politics being, you know, downstream from culture and you said, how do you solve that?

01:03:54.000 It's easy.

01:03:55.000 Go further upstream.

01:03:57.000 If someone is taking a dump in your water supply and you're like going to get a bucket of water from the river and there's like poop floating in it, you got to go further upstream to get your water.

01:04:04.000 Yeah.

01:04:05.000 Max Keiser says whoever has the Bitcoin makes the laws.

01:04:08.000 It was in clever in relation to who has the money makes the laws, but in the future it's going to be the crypto.

01:04:14.000 Yeah, there's talk about government regulated, like government coins, like cryptocurrency made by governments.

01:04:20.000 Well, China just announced that they're working on a global currency to release for everyone out there.

01:04:27.000 So again, as we said, cryptocurrency could be something great, could be something that could be used to enslave a lot of people, to track, trace and database people in a very easy system.

01:04:35.000 Now, when we look at Twitter's announcement, especially with the QAnon people, they made sure to specifically say, not just QAnon people, but QAnon associated content.

01:04:44.000 Very vague, very generalized language, no accountability, no transparency, no court of law, no reason given to individuals.

01:04:52.000 Hey, why were you banned?

01:04:54.000 None of that!

01:04:55.000 And at least, if you're going to do it, at least justify it, at least give some recourse, give some reason, give some explanation.

01:05:02.000 But these people are so emboldened that they're like, we don't even have to tell you why we're destroying your livelihood.

01:05:08.000 We're destroying your communications.

01:05:10.000 We're destroying your way of life.

01:05:11.000 Being able to actually get your ideas out there to the political discourse.

01:05:15.000 We don't have churches anymore.

01:05:16.000 We don't have bars.

01:05:17.000 We don't have any way to communicate and talk to our fellow man, except for Twitter.

01:05:22.000 They are the monopoly.

01:05:23.000 They are the highway.

01:05:24.000 They control it.

01:05:25.000 They have a toll booth and they are family friendly show.

01:05:29.000 I have other language I want to use here, but I'm just going to stop right here.

01:05:33.000 I heard you speak Polish earlier.

01:05:34.000 Could I curse in Polish?

01:05:35.000 I don't think so.

01:05:35.000 I would love to.

01:05:36.000 I think you can actually be a bit more disparaging in Polish, because they'd have to be like, can we get someone who knows Polish in here? 1.00

01:05:41.000 You don't have to translate a whole bunch of... I can't even say it, but whatever.

01:05:44.000 Don't go over the top, but say something.

01:05:47.000 Criticize him in Polish.

01:05:48.000 I heard one word. 1.00

01:05:49.000 Some yabana who yet so near Vietnam to she could've had you shit shit 1.00

01:05:53.000 The only one of the only that one of the few words I know in Polish I think you said yes 1.00

01:06:01.000 Yes.

01:06:01.000 It's hard to control it.

01:06:03.000 It's like in... What show was it where whenever a lady would get mad, she would start speaking Spanish? 0.98

01:06:10.000 She would yell at her husband?

01:06:11.000 You remember that?

01:06:12.000 I don't remember what it is.

01:06:13.000 Whatever.

01:06:14.000 Also, how they do these mass bannings is quite insidious, extremely insidious, because it shows you how you can't separate the privacy issue from the censorship issue.

01:06:23.000 It's because they know so much about us that they can pinpoint exactly who all the Trump supporters are on the platform.

01:06:29.000 But also, think about this, they can also pinpoint who the undecided voters are.

01:06:33.000 So imagine how they're using that information in addition to using the format to ban people.

01:06:37.000 I'll tell you something funny.

01:06:38.000 Um, there was, you know, Donald Trump posted to YouTube and they immediately took it down and then suspended, gave him a strike and suspended him.

01:06:45.000 So I saw people posting about what Trump had posted and they were saying, someone posted, like I saw the video, it was crazy.

01:06:51.000 It was Trump saying like, God calls on you to come and save this country on the 20th.

01:06:56.000 And I was like, what did Donald Trump post a video?

01:06:59.000 That's crazy.

01:07:00.000 So I looked for it, couldn't find it.

01:07:02.000 I eventually found a video claiming to be the original video, and that's what it said.

01:07:07.000 It said, this is the video, and it was like, on the 20th, you know, God has given you a calling, and it was like, crazy stuff.

01:07:13.000 So I posted it in a group chat with some other reporters and personalities, asking if anybody knew what the video was.

01:07:19.000 Some people are saying this is it.

01:07:21.000 And do you know what these other people saw?

01:07:22.000 It just said, this video, this link has been removed due to being suspicious.

01:07:26.000 So they couldn't actually, some people could see it, some people couldn't.

01:07:29.000 And then it turns out, the rumor is right now, Trump posted a snippet from his speech, his statements he made at the border wall.

01:07:36.000 So I don't know exactly what that video was, but even in private messages, they're banning things.

01:07:41.000 I'll tell you one thing really funny.

01:07:42.000 I often send myself things on Facebook.

01:07:45.000 I'll use it as like a notepad.

01:07:47.000 So if someone sends me a story and I need to keep track of it, or if I'm looking at something to buy, I'll just send it to myself.

01:07:53.000 And I recently was looking, I sent myself a link to buy, I don't know, it was like a Panini press or something.

01:07:58.000 And then I went in my messages and I was looking for the link, and then I noticed it said, this has been removed or whatever.

01:08:03.000 I sent it to myself.

01:08:05.000 Facebook went into my message to myself as a reminder and removed what I was trying to remind myself of, and I don't even know what it was!

01:08:11.000 It was probably a link to Bitchute or something. 0.99

01:08:14.000 It's kind of like we're in the Matrix, in the movie.

01:08:16.000 We're on the ship, and we're talking to people in the Matrix, and they're like, I'm being censored, this Matrix is censoring me, and you can't be like, go use this other Matrix program in the Matrix, because it's all in the Matrix.

01:08:28.000 You have to leave the Matrix.

01:08:30.000 The proprietary software with these algorithms, these proprietary algorithms, are tracking you.

01:08:36.000 And they're moving you around.

01:08:38.000 Dude, you know what's so annoying?

01:08:40.000 We turned on the TV a couple nights ago, and there was a commercial.

01:08:43.000 It's my TV, and all we ever watch is Family Guy, and we got a puppy chow commercial. 0.80

01:08:48.000 Hold on, hold on.

01:08:50.000 I have not posted about the dog.

01:08:52.000 I have not.

01:08:53.000 I've not posted anything about dogs.

01:08:56.000 Luke got a dog.

01:08:57.000 I'm exploiting it to the fullest extent on my Instagram, on LukeWeAreChange.

01:09:03.000 Why is it that my account on my TV, when I opened it up, a commercial played for dogs?

01:09:08.000 Because the TV heard the dog barking.

01:09:09.000 And I was watching the TV.

01:09:11.000 Yeah, but so they say that they're not actually spying on audio and that it's artificial intelligence that knows.

01:09:17.000 Is it possible that the AI is so smart it knew that I... Yeah, it's tracking Luke.

01:09:23.000 It knows that Luke has a dog.

01:09:24.000 Probably.

01:09:25.000 It's right.

01:09:26.000 A new puppy.

01:09:26.000 Also, if you... That's what it... No, you know what?

01:09:28.000 You're completely right.

01:09:29.000 It probably saw that Luke and I are friends on Facebook, that we've actually been in the same place at the same time.

01:09:33.000 We were on a show together.

01:09:34.000 And Luke went to a dog place And yep, it's not so much about knowing we're on a show, it's about the GPS being identical, and about us being friends, and about Luke posting about dogs.

01:09:43.000 Well, we went to that puppy store that had that dog that we were considering getting, and we never did.

01:09:50.000 We went to a puppy store, and my phone probably logged the location.

01:09:58.000 And then they put a commercial up for it.

01:09:59.000 There's a beautiful dog there that we almost got by the way, but we didn't.

01:10:03.000 Yeah, there was messages that I tried to send you regarding defensive measures and defensive stuff that I couldn't send to you.

01:10:10.000 I remember trying to send you like, hey, we should probably get this, and then the link never went through, which just shows you that it's not just censorship, it's also knowing everything about you that should terrify someone because these companies are getting more and more powerful because data is becoming the new oil.

01:10:28.000 And when we look at a lot of industries, they're absolutely dominated with knowing who a customer is, what they're doing, and with that power, they could do a lot of incredible things.

01:10:38.000 And I remember this even before Donald Trump was on the political scene, that there was mainline data scientific studies talking about how Facebook and Google could rig elections.

01:10:50.000 This was even before Trump They were talking about how they could just manipulate the algorithm, manipulate the search results, and they could have an effect on elections that could sway it in either direction that they chose it to go to.

01:11:04.000 The CEO of Reddit said it.

01:11:05.000 Yeah.

01:11:05.000 He gave an interview and he's like, oh yeah, we could totally swing an election.

01:11:08.000 He's like, we couldn't get away for it for too long, but we could totally do it.

01:11:11.000 They probably did.

01:11:12.000 I bet Reddit tried to do that. 0.58

01:11:13.000 Google certainly did it.

01:11:14.000 But for a little bit there was a discussion saying, hey, this is too much power.

01:11:18.000 We should regulate this.

01:11:19.000 We should stop it.

01:11:20.000 We should intervene.

01:11:21.000 We should break up the monopolies.

01:11:22.000 But that conversation lasted for about five minutes and then it ended and no one else

01:11:26.000 even talked about it after those data studies came out.

01:11:28.000 Because they block it.

01:11:29.000 Yeah.

01:11:31.000 Quick, change, dangle keys in front of them on Facebook.

01:11:34.000 Show them police brutality.

01:11:34.000 The Matrix is very comfortable.

01:11:36.000 They feed you nice steak that you think tastes good.

01:11:39.000 They want you.

01:11:40.000 They want to keep you inside and make you rich.

01:11:44.000 So you can exit the Matrix or you can ban the Matrix.

01:11:48.000 Can we talk for a moment about how Twitter somehow managed to make the dictatorial government of Uganda look like the sympathetic party?

01:11:57.000 Yeah, that's a good point that you bring up here, because the tweet that I referenced was specifically towards an open internet, but just for Uganda, not for anyone else.

01:12:05.000 Yeah.

01:12:06.000 I mean, the argument I think the Ugandan government is using, which again, these are brutal dictators, but the argument they're using is, well, we don't want these companies coming and interfering in our election.

01:12:17.000 Banning our government ministers from their accounts.

01:12:20.000 And again, brutal dictatorship.

01:12:22.000 But are they wrong though?

01:12:24.000 Because tech companies are, I think, this is pretty well known now, they are arms of US influence abroad.

01:12:32.000 In fact, probably my favorite quote from the book is from a government insider who told me that before Trump, the State Department and the foreign policy elites saw these tech platforms or social media freedom as a means of achieving regime change abroad by allowing dissidents to speak, by allowing information to get out around the government-approved channels.

01:12:56.000 But as soon as Trump comes along, And Brexit comes along and populism comes along, suddenly they start to worry, well, uh-oh, our regime might get changed.

01:13:04.000 It's not that.

01:13:04.000 What we've learned from the statement on Uganda was that they like the idea of using social media to control elections.

01:13:12.000 That's it.

01:13:13.000 It's not inconsistent.

01:13:15.000 They don't want Twitter to be banned because they want to manipulate the Ugandan elections.

01:13:19.000 And they want They want Twitter to be the monopoly in the United States so they can manipulate elections.

01:13:26.000 It's the same thing.

01:13:27.000 And the timeline here matters because, correct me if I'm wrong, it was first Ugandan government officials that were banned by Twitter and Facebook.

01:13:35.000 Then they decided to shut down Facebook and Twitter.

01:13:38.000 And now Facebook and Twitter are working with the State Department to bring back social media into Uganda.

01:13:44.000 And then we also have to understand there's a lot of also fingerprints with the State Department working with social media when it comes to the Arab Spring, when it comes to Ukraine, and other very important geopolitical battles that were happening that I would argue the the tech oligarchs and State Department were working for the favor of the U.S.

01:14:04.000 in many of those key instances that do deserve to be looked at right now.

01:14:08.000 So the way the State Department influence works is, you know, they have all these NGOs that they send to countries, and these NGOs are how they do political organization.

01:14:17.000 They also, you know, fund media outlets and so on.

01:14:19.000 And social media allowed them to supercharge those efforts inside whichever country they were targeting.

01:14:24.000 That's why they like it.

01:14:25.000 That's what got me booted from Venezuela.

01:14:28.000 Some Occupy activists on Twitter started tweeting at a bunch of Venezuelan personalities that I worked for USAID and was in Venezuela to subvert and overthrow the revolution.

01:14:37.000 That's what they said.

01:14:38.000 To overthrow the revolution.

01:14:40.000 And I'm literally just some dude who went from Vice.

01:14:43.000 And I chose to.

01:14:44.000 Like, no one at Vice told me to do it.

01:14:45.000 I said, hey, I want to go to Venezuela, and they were like, alright, go for it.

01:14:47.000 That's an interesting perspective, that if you ban the Matrix, it doesn't necessarily mean you're righteous.

01:14:54.000 There can still be chaos and destruction in the real world, in the Matrix world where we're on the ships.

01:15:00.000 There can be pirates and dictators and things like this Ugandan dictator, apparently.

01:15:06.000 I don't know much about him.

01:15:09.000 So, the Matrix isn't evil, it's just a powerful tool.

01:15:13.000 Yeah, but happens to be under the control of America, which is why Ugandan dictators don't like it.

01:15:17.000 Or Venezuelans.

01:15:18.000 And we say America, but, I mean, what is America at this point?

01:15:22.000 Corporate plutonomy.

01:15:24.000 Banking billionaire elites.

01:15:26.000 Yeah, that have hijacked the U.S.

01:15:28.000 military.

01:15:29.000 It's really not America.

01:15:30.000 They just have control of our military.

01:15:32.000 I really do think that it's almost like they want to make sure there's a permanent underclass.

01:15:39.000 That there's no upward mobility, like creating a new royalty.

01:15:43.000 They're the elites.

01:15:44.000 They're the ones who get to walk freely in Congress and through the Capitol.

01:15:47.000 They're the ones who get special exemptions from the rules and the law and things like this.

01:15:51.000 And so everything they're doing with destroying the economy, it results in certain jobs become, like, certain individuals making more and more money.

01:16:00.000 And it results in the regular working class people being completely destroyed by it. 0.99

01:16:04.000 And when the wealth of, say, your average, you know, middle American is destroyed, their chances of moving up and improving their lives becomes zero, basically.

01:16:13.000 But the elites who control assets don't lose that.

01:16:18.000 So think about it this way.

01:16:20.000 If you're rich and you're worried about the economic collapse, it's real easy.

01:16:24.000 You put your money into something.

01:16:26.000 You take a bunch of your liquid assets.

01:16:29.000 You buy hard assets.

01:16:30.000 You buy property.

01:16:30.000 You buy resources.

01:16:31.000 You buy the means of production.

01:16:33.000 Then the working class people who have a small savings need to buy food.

01:16:36.000 They can't afford to put their money into something safe.

01:16:40.000 So they lose their wealth.

01:16:41.000 They lose their access.

01:16:42.000 They lose control.

01:16:43.000 So it's almost like the bottom's being pulled out, but the rich people have a bar to hang on to, and the people down below don't.

01:16:49.000 They fall down.

01:16:50.000 Well, they've been doing this.

01:16:51.000 They've been stealing from a lot of people through the process of inflation and deflation.

01:16:56.000 When the market is high, they sell.

01:16:58.000 When the market is low, They obviously buy up a bunch of goods, and we have to understand a lot of these people, a lot of these kind of, whether it's the Federal Reserve, a lot of the bigger banks, they know what's going to happen ahead of time because they're the ones setting this policy, and they could decide, I'm going to sell it all, I'm going to buy it all, and they've been doing this kind of system ever since we got rid of the gold standard.

01:17:18.000 But what you need to understand is it's not a conspiracy as though like a bunch of bankers get together and go, We're gonna tank the market know what happens is they'll put out their statement saying here's when we think this will happen here's what we're gonna buy and then all of the big banks make a massive move which will drop the values of certain things and Then when people panic sell because people just do they buy it up case in point Bitcoin recently yeah fell down to 30 and it was funny it was at like 31 and

01:17:44.000 And a bunch of people I saw were tweeting at me saying things like, I'm going to sell now and then buy back when it's at the bottom.

01:17:50.000 And then within a few hours, it went right back up to $35. 0.83

01:17:53.000 And I was like, well, if you sold, you screwed yourself.

01:17:55.000 The market cap went from $1 trillion to $840 billion.

01:17:59.000 It lost $160 billion.

01:18:01.000 Don't quote me on the exact numbers.

01:18:02.000 So I think there was a coordinated sell-off of $100 billion that a bunch of people made.

01:18:07.000 But it wasn't coordinated in the sense that a bunch of guys got together and said, let's do it.

01:18:11.000 It's tough to say.

01:18:12.000 It could have been, but what you say definitely happens.

01:18:14.000 It may have also been coordinated, I don't know.

01:18:16.000 It just seemed very... What happens is you have an avalanche.

01:18:19.000 You have all of this, it's piling up, and then there are people ready to buy at certain numbers.

01:18:24.000 One person happens to hold a large amount of coins because he's a miner, perhaps, or it's a company.

01:18:28.000 They put it all up for sale at a certain price to make all that money, and then it causes everything to just cascade down.

01:18:33.000 There's machines that are watching and they'll trigger sales.

01:18:36.000 And then what happens is, it's human psychology.

01:18:39.000 Regular people, who have invested what little they had, panic.

01:18:42.000 And then they sell it all.

01:18:43.000 And that's how the wealth gets transferred to the wealthy, because people panic.

01:18:46.000 It's like, this is why I don't, I don't, I love going to casinos.

01:18:49.000 We recently went to a casino, and I got, man it was amazing.

01:18:52.000 I put like 20 bucks down on high card flush, and won like 800 bucks.

01:18:55.000 And I started tipping like crazy, it was amazing.

01:18:57.000 I don't like playing poker though, you know why?

01:18:59.000 Because, you know, I used to have a lot of fun playing poker.

01:19:02.000 I used to play Magic the Gathering.

01:19:03.000 So if you're good at, like, reading people, then you'd be great at poker.

01:19:06.000 But you're taking money from poor people who don't know what they're doing.

01:19:09.000 Yeah, it's like, you make money off the people, not the house.

01:19:12.000 I like playing against the house.

01:19:13.000 I lose.

01:19:13.000 I go to casinos for fun.

01:19:14.000 I don't go there to make money.

01:19:16.000 But I don't like the idea of ripping off the working class people who don't know what they're doing. 0.95

01:19:20.000 So I'm always advising people, you need to know what you're doing, you need to get sound advice.

01:19:24.000 Don't get it from me, but just, you know, panic is where they rip you off.

01:19:27.000 And don't listen to the mainstream media that was telling you that Bitcoin's dead, it's over, it's never coming back.

01:19:32.000 And I've been seeing those articles for years now, and I've been kind of...

01:19:36.000 You know, combating it in my own way.

01:19:38.000 But as we said on the show a couple days ago, again, not financial advice, but it's usually not the best thing to buy high and to sell low.

01:19:47.000 That's what usually the average person does.

01:19:50.000 It's not a good strategy, but when you look at the mainstream media and their talking points, that's what they tell you to do.

01:19:55.000 I go to 4chan's biz board for my financial advice.

01:20:00.000 When you see lots of the pink Wojecks where they're all freaking out saying the stonks are going down, that's when you buy. 1.00

01:20:07.000 You know, I love this one article said, Bitcoin investors could lose everything.

01:20:11.000 I can't believe... It's like, it's so obvious what that was.

01:20:16.000 They were trying to scare new investors into selling everything, and it worked.

01:20:21.000 And then the price dropped.

01:20:22.000 They bought high, and then the price tanked while they panicked, and then the people with access and means bought all of it back up, and now it's going right back up to $40K.

01:20:31.000 I say it happens all the time, so I'm not gonna tell you what you should do or give you advice, I'll tell you what I'll do.

01:20:36.000 When I buy Bitcoin, I just sit on it.

01:20:37.000 You're supposed to hold.

01:20:38.000 Hold on for dear life.

01:20:40.000 But anyway, I digress.

01:20:41.000 You know, we got into the Bitcoin conversation again just because it's been so prevalent.

01:20:44.000 The reality is, consistently, those with lots of money can sit on it and protect it and use it to grow their resources and control and power.

01:20:54.000 And everything we're seeing with the lockdowns and everything we're seeing with these bailouts, all it does is strip what little the working class have.

01:21:03.000 And you know what the problem is?

01:21:04.000 Many of these people are cheering for it and clapping, thunderous applause.

01:21:07.000 The wealthy are like, we want to steal all your money!

01:21:10.000 And they go, yay!

01:21:13.000 And then they do.

01:21:14.000 When you say, like, go upstream from money, if you really want to solve... You mean from culture?

01:21:21.000 Well, you want to go upstream from culture.

01:21:23.000 And I was like, well, the rich people are what are controlling culture.

01:21:26.000 Upstream from that, it led me to crypto.

01:21:27.000 But what's above that?

01:21:29.000 Is it steel mills?

01:21:30.000 No, it's producing culture. 0.96

01:21:31.000 Iron mines and weapons? 0.89

01:21:32.000 It's producing culture.

01:21:34.000 But what does that mean?

01:21:35.000 So if there's a stream of cultural issues that ends with a political policy, and someone is throwing garbage in the river, then produce culture above them.

01:21:46.000 It's like the strongest gorilla is the one who dictates the culture of the tribe.

01:21:52.000 I mean, kind of, I guess?

01:21:54.000 That's how it worked back in the day.

01:21:55.000 People need to be persuasive and resourceful.

01:21:58.000 You need to have access and means and confidence.

01:22:00.000 And you do that by inspiring and building culture.

01:22:04.000 By teaching people to do things that are fun, but I'll tell you what really drives... One of the things that really drives people is being cheered on by others.

01:22:11.000 It feels good.

01:22:13.000 When you have a crowd of people, like, clapping for you, people love it.

01:22:15.000 It's why skateboarding is so great.

01:22:18.000 You go to a skate park, and you don't gotta be the best skateboarder in the world, but if people see you... Maybe you've only been skateboarding for a few months, you finally learned how to kickflip, and you're really bad at it.

01:22:26.000 Kickflip is like a basic trick, for those who don't know.

01:22:28.000 You could be at a park, it's clear that you're not that good, and you're trying as hard as you can to land this kickflip, when you finally do, everyone will cheer and clap for you.

01:22:36.000 It's not about you being the best, it's about you overcoming yourself and doing better every day.

01:22:41.000 But then if you are really, really good, you go there, you know, when you skate and you do well, people cheer and clap for you.

01:22:45.000 It's a very positive environment.

01:22:47.000 Some kids can be nasty.

01:22:48.000 That's what we need.

01:22:50.000 We need people who oppose the wokeness and the creepy, you know, cancel culture stuff to mock it and make it desirable for people to mock it, to belittle it, to have a good time.

01:23:01.000 This is why comedy is so powerful. 0.99

01:23:03.000 So we need more comedians like Ryan Long, for instance, who routinely mocks not just the left but also the right on occasion, making it fun to say the extremism is stupid. 0.99

01:23:13.000 To make it a point that you will be cheered for and celebrated and successful if you tell the crazy people to stop. 0.99

01:23:19.000 Or you point out their absurdities.

01:23:21.000 And like, being an artist in general, I think, is a great way to control the culture.

01:23:27.000 But then the money, the rich people are going to come to you once you succeed and they're going to try and buy you out.

01:23:32.000 And it works?

01:23:33.000 Well, not always, but it's very tempting.

01:23:37.000 I don't know what you do with all that money some of these people get, some of these big brands and the sponsorships they've done.

01:23:43.000 I don't want to name anybody, but there's like, you know, YouTubers who have endorsed political candidates who are not political.

01:23:50.000 It's like, look, I do news, commentary, and politics, so for me saying who I'm going to vote for, I think, is on me.

01:23:55.000 But there are like non-political YouTubers who are like, I'm going to vote for Hillary Clinton or whatever, and it's like, now why are you doing that?

01:24:02.000 There's no incentive for you to turn off Minecraft and start talking about Hillary Clinton.

01:24:05.000 That makes no sense.

01:24:07.000 That, to me, sounds like it was a paid endorsement or something.

01:24:09.000 And that's when you start getting into dangerous territory.

01:24:12.000 But, you know, it is what it is.

01:24:13.000 People are going to take sponsorships for whatever, and they're not going to think twice about it.

01:24:16.000 Well, it's also quite profitable.

01:24:18.000 If you're not that political, maybe you just want to win the favor of the elites at YouTube or at these entertainment companies, because you know the way to do that is the virtue signal.

01:24:27.000 Yep.

01:24:28.000 Yeah, you know, I know that it's deep-seated in YouTube and Google, this leftist and this woke stuff.

01:24:38.000 But I do think that there are... I think most people don't like it.

01:24:41.000 I really, really believe that's true. 0.98

01:24:43.000 The problem is I think they're all just terrified and they're cowards.

01:24:46.000 And I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean, but there's somebody who's willing to say, I'll say what I want when I want. 0.87

01:24:53.000 And it tends to be Trump supporters are all getting banned because they'll just say what they want, they don't care.

01:24:58.000 And the people on the left, traditional liberals, they tell me behind the scenes all the time.

01:25:03.000 I have business calls with people who work for companies peripheral to Google or within Google, and they're like, we love your stuff, man.

01:25:08.000 We completely agree about this.

01:25:09.000 You know, we're fans of like George Carlin and Chappelle, but oh man, I don't know.

01:25:13.000 I lose my job. 0.99

01:25:13.000 And I'm like, yeah, you're a coward, bro. 0.99

01:25:15.000 I think you're right that it stems from fear, whether they're afraid because they don't understand the way that technology works, so the unknown creates a fear of the unknown, so they just go along with it, or they're more viscerally afraid of actually being banned themselves, but I think the fear of not understanding I don't think they care about that, though.

01:25:38.000 I think the concern is, are the people going to be mean to me?

01:25:40.000 I think they just don't want to be fired.

01:25:42.000 Are the people going to be mean to me?

01:25:43.000 It's just very disempowering to not know, to not understand how the power structure works.

01:25:48.000 I think they just don't want to be fired.

01:25:49.000 They don't want to be mobbed by the social justice warriors. 0.67

01:25:52.000 Well, they know that if they get fired for being anti-woke, they're not going to get a job ever again.

01:25:56.000 Indeed.

01:25:56.000 So what?

01:25:57.000 Grow up.

01:25:57.000 The biggest polling error, and I agree with that, they should grow up.

01:26:01.000 I mean, you know, people endured a lot worse.

01:26:04.000 Go work for Veritas or Breitbart.

01:26:06.000 Blow the whistle on this stuff.

01:26:07.000 For political activities.

01:26:08.000 But the biggest polling error by far in the 2020 election was the white middle class, not the white working class.

01:26:16.000 They actually predicted the white working class vote pretty well, the pollsters, but they missed the white middle class vote by, I think it was about, Over 20 point polling error.

01:26:27.000 Really?

01:26:28.000 Yes.

01:26:28.000 It was massive.

01:26:29.000 It was the biggest polling error.

01:26:30.000 What did they expect and what was the reality?

01:26:31.000 They were expecting to be split pretty evenly between Biden and Trump.

01:26:36.000 In fact, it was like over 20 points in favor of Trump from white middle class voters.

01:26:41.000 What was the middle?

01:26:43.000 No, I think it was actually employment.

01:26:44.000 So don't quote me on that.

01:26:45.000 It was employment.

01:26:46.000 Are they in white-collar jobs rather than blue-collar jobs?

01:26:49.000 Oh, OK, OK.

01:26:49.000 Right on.

01:26:50.000 And that makes perfect sense to me because the people in white-collar jobs are most afraid of the wokeness.

01:26:56.000 Yeah, because they'll... It's not just that they will take your job from you.

01:27:01.000 It's that they will salt the earth to make sure you can never have a job again.

01:27:05.000 And that's what people are afraid of.

01:27:07.000 And, uh... Really?

01:27:09.000 You know what, man?

01:27:10.000 Whatever.

01:27:11.000 Look, I guess when you're accustomed to certain comforts, it's really easy to scare people into losing all of it.

01:27:18.000 You know, so they grow up, and they have this middle-class life, and they get a white-colored job, and they got their 401k, and they get married, and they have kids, and they're like, heaven forbid I have to actually live like humans lived a hundred years ago.

01:27:29.000 It's scary.

01:27:29.000 I get it.

01:27:30.000 You don't know how to survive on your own anymore.

01:27:32.000 You don't know how to grow your own food, or hunt, or anything like that.

01:27:35.000 And it's not necessarily something we should be doing.

01:27:37.000 We have this, you know, wonderful technology and access.

01:27:39.000 But the worst case scenario for getting fired from a job for standing up for this is not going to hunt and becoming a wild man with your wild family.

01:27:46.000 It's literally just getting a crummier job or something.

01:27:49.000 Or, I don't know, going and working for a company that will let you work for them.

01:27:53.000 But too many people are just scared.

01:27:56.000 And I think it's kind of sad.

01:27:59.000 It's cowardly.

01:28:00.000 And what is the saying? 0.64

01:28:02.000 All that is required for evil to win is for good men to do nothing.

01:28:05.000 Good people to do nothing.

01:28:07.000 And there's the other quote.

01:28:08.000 What is it?

01:28:09.000 Let it never be said that a small group of determined people can't change the world.

01:28:12.000 Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

01:28:15.000 So how many people are just sitting on their hands saying, it won't be me because I'm too scared.

01:28:20.000 And what happened to the people who are like, I'm gonna get on a boat for three months with limited resources and crash onto the shores of an empty country and just figure it out?

01:28:28.000 Think about the people who are on that boat coming from Europe, going to North America or going anywhere else.

01:28:33.000 You had no idea what you were gonna see when you got there.

01:28:35.000 In fact, the first group that landed, you know, in New England is just rocks and trees and they're like, get to work.

01:28:42.000 One glimmer of optimism I saw last year is something that could potentially give more people courage.

01:28:48.000 Because what makes people less cowardly?

01:28:50.000 What gives them courage?

01:28:51.000 I think it's when they see people that the media tries to cancel, but it completely fails to do so.

01:28:57.000 And there were so many examples of this last year, actually.

01:28:59.000 They tried to cancel Michelle Malkin.

01:29:02.000 Both conservatives and liberals tried to cancel her.

01:29:04.000 They failed.

01:29:05.000 She actually got her show on Newsmax like a few weeks after that, so utterly failed.

01:29:10.000 She got more opportunities.

01:29:11.000 They tried to cancel Jack Posobiec.

01:29:13.000 They tried to cancel Peter Thiel.

01:29:16.000 Darren Beatty, they tried to cancel him.

01:29:17.000 He actually got a new White House appointment.

01:29:20.000 And the White House essentially told the media to F off when they started an outrage cycle over that.

01:29:28.000 So the more examples you have like that of people the media tries to cancel and just completely fails at it, I think the more courage you'll see from ordinary people.

01:29:36.000 I think Trump is another example.

01:29:38.000 Why people are supporting him so hard right now is because they're trying to cancel him from social media and now they're trying to impeach him and cancel him from politics.

01:29:46.000 So people are like, no, resist.

01:29:49.000 If you can do it, I can do it.

01:29:50.000 Well, this is, I want to kind of talk to your point because of what you were saying about people kind of paying the mortgages and trying to make ends meet.

01:29:58.000 A lot of these people are controlled that way.

01:30:00.000 They're controlled in other ways.

01:30:02.000 A few years ago, I got drunk and hammered with the White House Press Corps.

01:30:06.000 The conversation was off the record.

01:30:08.000 A lot of them are alcoholics.

01:30:09.000 I won't be naming names or saying who they are specifically.

01:30:14.000 Well, you just said all of them.

01:30:16.000 Majority of the White House Press Corps a couple years ago.

01:30:20.000 I'm not going to be specific here.

01:30:21.000 The conversation was off the record.

01:30:22.000 Can I pause real quick?

01:30:23.000 Journalists are notoriously alcoholics.

01:30:25.000 No joke.

01:30:26.000 When I worked for Vice, there was like a Jaeger machine on the counter, and people had liquor bottles all over the place.

01:30:30.000 No joke.

01:30:31.000 Huge substance abuse problem amongst journalists, also depression rates, but that's a whole other story to get into.

01:30:37.000 And after getting hammered with them, we were talking, I won't name the specific person, they were like, hey man, look, I have a family, I have a daughter, I have to pay off my bills, I just gotta do what I'm told, and that's exactly what I'm doing.

01:30:52.000 So that was the major sentiment from a lot of them that were breaking down and telling me how they have no kind of free will to even express ideas that they want to express or investigate stories that they want to investigate.

01:31:04.000 And they're like, you know, I like your work.

01:31:06.000 I love you, but I can't even tell anyone because I'm afraid of this kind of chilling effect going on of even mentioning you.

01:31:14.000 And they all just need to quit.

01:31:15.000 That's why they're depressed alcoholics.

01:31:16.000 I mean, it must be very demoralizing being essentially the inquisitors of the elite.

01:31:22.000 All they have to do is all stand up and say, nah, I'm not interested.

01:31:25.000 But they value money and wealth and access over integrity, honor, and loyalty.

01:31:33.000 So... Just to be clear, I'm not feeling sorry for mainstream journalists.

01:31:37.000 No, no, no.

01:31:38.000 I have contempted disdain for these people because when given the choice between standing tall and saying, you know, I refuse, they say, just write the check.

01:31:47.000 I'll say whatever you want.

01:31:48.000 Give me the money and I'll do whatever you want me to do.

01:31:51.000 It's really funny.

01:31:52.000 There are, you know, certain YouTube personalities and certain left-wing personalities who absolutely did this when it came to Weave.

01:32:00.000 You're familiar with Weave?

01:32:02.000 Oh, the hacker with the notorious tattoo, yes.

01:32:05.000 The notorious tattoo from, you know, World War II Germany.

01:32:08.000 So, you know, what, 2012, 2013, there were many left-wing activists who were praising him, and to a certain degree.

01:32:14.000 I don't want to act like they were saying he was a good person outright.

01:32:17.000 But they were defending him, they were hanging out with him, they were laughing with him, they were taking photos with him, they were on couches smiling and hugging and all that stuff.

01:32:24.000 And then, when we got deep into the culture war with the fascists in the far right, these people immediately were like, I-I-I never, no, mm-mm, I, uh, I hate him, I, pfft.

01:32:34.000 I'm like, dude, you guys were like shoulder and shoulder singing songs together.

01:32:38.000 Like, don't play that game. 1.00

01:32:39.000 No, you're cowards. 0.96

01:32:40.000 And then there was Quinn Norton, who's a journalist, when she got hired by the New York Times. 0.97

01:32:46.000 And then the left tried canceling her, saying she's friends with Weave.

01:32:49.000 She said, F you, Weave's my friend.

01:32:51.000 And I was like, wow.

01:32:52.000 Now that's a spine.

01:32:54.000 That is integrity.

01:32:55.000 And then she ended up resigning because of it. 0.94

01:32:57.000 Because the New York Times is cowardly. 1.00

01:33:00.000 And they're pathetic. 1.00

01:33:01.000 So, you know, look, you get to make a choice. 1.00

01:33:05.000 Do you have values?

01:33:06.000 Are you a person of good moral standing?

01:33:07.000 Or are you a spineless wet noodle who will just fold at the sign of any threat or any risk?

01:33:13.000 Talk about weakness, man.

01:33:15.000 Well, I have values like Jesus.

01:33:18.000 I want to go in there to the temple and flip the tables over and scream at the merchants for ripping us off and creating this usury. 0.79

01:33:25.000 I don't, because I will be executed.

01:33:28.000 No, that's different.

01:33:29.000 So, these people are in a position where they can't flip out, like Luke was saying.

01:33:33.000 No one's telling them to flip out and destroy things.

01:33:35.000 Well, they can't express themselves genuinely.

01:33:37.000 They can't ask questions.

01:33:39.000 They can't, you know, go through the normal thinking process.

01:33:42.000 They have to literally read a script in many instances.

01:33:45.000 They can't say there are two genders.

01:33:46.000 I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

01:33:49.000 Well, that's why a lot of these people have huge substance abuse problems.

01:33:53.000 And, uh, you know, for a lot of them, I just feel sorry for them, to be honest with you.

01:33:57.000 To an extent, I do.

01:33:58.000 But I also think if you are going to be a wet noodle and just give up because someone's being mean to you, well, then why should I defend you? 0.69

01:34:08.000 You don't have to defend, but the empathy is key.

01:34:11.000 Having the empathy doesn't mean that you feel bad for them or that you agree with them.

01:34:14.000 It just means that you understand what they're going through.

01:34:17.000 Of course.

01:34:18.000 I explained it.

01:34:18.000 I understand exactly what they're going through.

01:34:20.000 And I think their only way out is to stand up and say no.

01:34:24.000 But they won't do it.

01:34:25.000 There's more than just that, I would imagine.

01:34:28.000 I disagree.

01:34:28.000 Well, this is why they're so afraid of social media, because on social media you can create these kind of preference cascades very easily.

01:34:35.000 A preference cascade, you know, it's when people have all these preferences that they're hiding because they're afraid of other people judging them.

01:34:40.000 And calling them out and leaving comments, breaking down their illusion and the bullcrap that they get paid by special interests to push.

01:34:48.000 Now, if you remember this, in the early kind of onsens of the internet, every website had a comment section.

01:34:54.000 Oh, yeah.

01:34:55.000 This is when I first realized that there was a movement building against free speech.

01:34:58.000 Journalists responding to comment sections.

01:35:00.000 And I was like, the comment section is amazing because every bullcrap article that was pushing an agenda was automatically called out, upvoted.

01:35:08.000 People are saying this is bullcrap because of this level.

01:35:11.000 Look at this evidence.

01:35:12.000 Go to this website.

01:35:13.000 And then what happened?

01:35:14.000 They started slowly and surely getting rid of the comment sections everywhere on all the mainline mainstream media publications.

01:35:22.000 And now it's And then one of the debut articles on Breitbart Tech when we launched in 2015, one of the first articles we published on that vertical, The War on Comment Sections.

01:35:30.000 That was one of the first signs of what was coming.

01:35:32.000 And then remember Gab launched, was it Dissenter?

01:35:34.000 Yeah.

01:35:35.000 Universal comments for all articles.

01:35:37.000 And they went after Gab like crazy because that was it.

01:35:40.000 When you can read the comments, you were like, really?

01:35:43.000 So they had to get rid of it.

01:35:44.000 Instantly banned from every browser extension store.

01:35:47.000 Yep.

01:35:48.000 Yep.

01:35:48.000 But it was great technology.

01:35:50.000 And then they, then, okay.

01:35:51.000 And then this is why Gab is kind of awesome.

01:35:53.000 Then they kind of built their own browser.

01:35:56.000 They used open source Chrome code, right?

01:35:58.000 And then made the Gab browser.

01:35:59.000 Yeah, building their own social network, their own servers, their own browser, their own comment section, their own phone.

01:36:07.000 They're very, very resourceful.

01:36:08.000 I think I'm gonna get on Gab.

01:36:10.000 Well, Donald Trump's there.

01:36:11.000 He's not really posting or anything like that.

01:36:13.000 Well, let's jump over to Super Chats.

01:36:15.000 If you have not already, smash that like button, subscribe, hit the notification bell.

01:36:19.000 We are live Monday to Friday at 8 p.m.

01:36:21.000 And now we go to the portion of the show where we take your comments and read what you say.

01:36:25.000 As many as we can, because we do get a ton of Super Chats.

01:36:28.000 So, let's just jump in.

01:36:29.000 Tom Bowersock says, this is my last Super Chat before I join the private site, dropping YouTube membership.

01:36:35.000 Well, thank you, Tom.

01:36:37.000 And if you feel like Tom as well, go to timcast.com and become a member.

01:36:41.000 We are, it's still very beta-y.

01:36:43.000 There's some issues.

01:36:43.000 Some people are having trouble logging in, but you know, just remain calm and we're working through it and I appreciate your support.

01:36:48.000 But by becoming a member, not only do you get access to exclusive members only content, which we'll be putting up very soon, start producing.

01:36:55.000 We're also going to be doing live events at our studio venue.

01:36:58.000 for very limited, very limited audiences. I'm talking like less than 10 people, maybe around

01:37:03.000 then, and only members will get access to the tickets, which are first come, first serve.

01:37:06.000 So again, go to TimCast.com, sign up. But more importantly, considering all the censorship,

01:37:11.000 considering the things we're talking about, literally one of the experts of tech censorship,

01:37:14.000 you know, Alim is here with a, your book is...

01:37:17.000 Deleted big tech's battle to erase the Trump movement and steal the election,

01:37:20.000 both of which came true.

01:37:22.000 Literally wrote the book on censorship.

01:37:24.000 Seriously, please, if you want to support the show, go to TimCast.com, become a member, because the real key to security and success that we have seen with many podcasts is a strong and loyal user base that contributes, because then you are insulated against the threats of censorship.

01:37:42.000 It really comes down to this.

01:37:44.000 They've already done this to, like, Elijah Schafer, gone after his advertisers numerous times.

01:37:47.000 You know, he's with The Blaze.

01:37:48.000 That's why it's so crucial that we build up a large network of core users who are members, because then you're almost invincible.

01:37:56.000 You're insulated, you're protected.

01:37:58.000 That's why TimCast.com is available.

01:38:00.000 Let's read some more.

01:38:02.000 Karma and Kerosene says, Tim, we're trying to influence culture like you talked about.

01:38:06.000 My band Karma and Kerosene just released our first full album.

01:38:09.000 We write rock for libertarians and conservatives.

01:38:12.000 Come check us out on YouTube.

01:38:14.000 Well, there you go.

01:38:14.000 Guys, check out Karma and Kerosene.

01:38:16.000 That's culture.

01:38:17.000 I want to tell you guys a secret.

01:38:19.000 It's actually not a secret.

01:38:19.000 I talked about it before.

01:38:20.000 YouTube invited me to a special meeting on how to... I forgot what it was called, but it was something about de-radicalization and social justice.

01:38:31.000 And their concern was that there were a lot of people being radicalized by jihadi content on YouTube.

01:38:37.000 And they were trying to figure out how to make it so that people who would go on YouTube would not view the more extreme, you know, Islamic culture as them.

01:38:47.000 They would view more mainstream, regular American and Western culture.

01:38:51.000 And so they had a bunch of really bad ideas. 0.97

01:38:54.000 One of the ideas was to make videos telling people they were wrong and they were dumb and they were doing the wrong thing. 0.95

01:38:59.000 And I was just like, that's a terrible idea.

01:39:01.000 Because think about it, you got these young kids, they're in the UK, they're in the US, and there are these videos targeting them on YouTube that are free speech.

01:39:07.000 That was the problem.

01:39:08.000 YouTube was like, we can't just take down these videos that are advocating for fundamentalist Islam, so what do we do?

01:39:13.000 And I was just like, just make normal content.

01:39:16.000 That's it.

01:39:17.000 Have people explain themselves as regular people.

01:39:19.000 Don't make it some big thing.

01:39:21.000 They don't get it though. 1.00

01:39:22.000 They still hold this view where they're like, we need to tell people they're dumb and bash them over the head with it. 0.98

01:39:26.000 It's all about just Making regular stuff for regular people. 0.97

01:39:30.000 And it's like when you see Chris Pratt, and he's wearing the Gadsden flag shirt, and they freaked out because of it.

01:39:34.000 But everybody loves Chris Pratt!

01:39:36.000 That's what it's all about.

01:39:37.000 Just be a regular person, do regular stuff.

01:39:38.000 Well, it's good to have some inside information about what they're doing about extremism, because now the Americans are gonna be the extremists.

01:39:46.000 Jonathan Galterini says, check the executive order Trump signed and the letter he sent to Pence and Pelosi today.

01:39:52.000 The letter is actually dated tomorrow, but it's interesting.

01:39:55.000 It's easier to find if you check the RSVN Twitter page.

01:39:57.000 Also, Trump's hearing is set for the 19th.

01:40:00.000 Is it the 19th?

01:40:01.000 I heard that the trial wasn't going to be until after.

01:40:05.000 Look, man, I've been waking up every day since the election with someone saying, today's the day.

01:40:09.000 It's going to happen.

01:40:10.000 The states are going to flip.

01:40:11.000 That's going to happen.

01:40:11.000 It's like every day, someone saying it never happens.

01:40:14.000 You know, it just, people just want to believe, I guess.

01:40:17.000 Dylan Keller says, you need a name for your website members.

01:40:20.000 May I suggest Beanie Bros or Beanie Brigade?

01:40:23.000 All so you could sell a beanie that has a picture of a beanie on it.

01:40:27.000 Thank you and spin the male vitality, please. 0.85

01:40:29.000 Oh, we don't have that anymore.

01:40:30.000 I do.

01:40:31.000 Oh, no, no, no.

01:40:31.000 No, you have Dr. Jones' primal youth.

01:40:33.000 Dr. Jones' primal youth.

01:40:34.000 Spin the primal youth.

01:40:35.000 Dr. Jones.

01:40:35.000 Yes.

01:40:36.000 Yeah.

01:40:37.000 I will spin that.

01:40:38.000 Spin the primal youth.

01:40:40.000 We got to stop inadvertently advertising for this man.

01:40:42.000 Do we, though?

01:40:43.000 Do we really got to stop?

01:40:44.000 Well, it's kind of funny.

01:40:45.000 Is it in frame?

01:40:47.000 Like, it's kind of funny that Alex Jones has these health products and on it says Dr. Jones.

01:40:50.000 So he is Dr. Jones.

01:40:52.000 I hope not, because the man is not a doctor.

01:40:54.000 I'm spinning it for you, Alex, whether you're Dr. Jones or not.

01:40:57.000 Is he more or less of a doctor than Jill Biden?

01:41:00.000 Oh, yeah, I don't know.

01:41:01.000 Oh, that's an interesting question.

01:41:02.000 Good question.

01:41:03.000 Yeah.

01:41:04.000 Spin that Primal Youth.

01:41:05.000 Well.

01:41:06.000 Rogue Weah says, not my first, but hopefully you'll read this one.

01:41:10.000 Tim, do you think our overlords would allow us a session?

01:41:12.000 They want us all to be their slaves.

01:41:15.000 Where's the Tim that said, I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees?

01:41:18.000 I think I just said that.

01:41:19.000 Yeah, you did.

01:41:21.000 Well, that's why I'm out, you know, in the middle of nowhere setting up a, you know, big acreage property for fun and just being away from the cities and all that stuff.

01:41:30.000 But what you've got to understand is winning this cultural war and the conflict in our political system requires strategy, persuasion, and resourcefulness.

01:41:40.000 What we saw at the Capitol was none of that.

01:41:41.000 It was the opposite.

01:41:42.000 It scared people.

01:41:43.000 It made people angry.

01:41:44.000 It caused damage to American relics and to our nation's Capitol.

01:41:49.000 It didn't do anything.

01:41:50.000 It just hurt Trump.

01:41:52.000 The key to winning is like what the Daily Wire did with that new movie, which, you know, you probably heard about, right?

01:41:56.000 Yeah, it's building culture and getting people interested.

01:41:59.000 Imagine if, in like 15 years, you have some kid who's like, I really want to work for Daily Wire Studios, man.

01:42:05.000 They do amazing thrillers.

01:42:08.000 And then they're like, that's Ben Shapiro's company.

01:42:09.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:42:11.000 Yeah, it is.

01:42:12.000 You want kids to proudly say, that's what I want to be when I grow up.

01:42:15.000 So you've got to make things to inspire them and participate in the culture, not just, you know, push barricades down and hit cars with fire.

01:42:22.000 There's that cliche story about that Hitler was an artist, and maybe there's something to it, but if he had been supported, if people had been like, you can do it, you can become an artist, maybe he wouldn't have become a crazy dictator. 0.52

01:42:34.000 Maybe.

01:42:35.000 There's a reason they all freaked out to have a game again.

01:42:37.000 Yeah.

01:42:38.000 Right.

01:42:39.000 Because there was a pushback in the cultural space.

01:42:42.000 And so they were doing everything they can to seize the means of cultural production.

01:42:45.000 Yeah, I know you've got to get to your next question, but did you guys see the Vox article with, uh, with, if we paid attention to Gamergate, the Capitol Hill riot wouldn't have happened.

01:42:54.000 Literally, that was the headline.

01:42:55.000 And they put out a tweet where they said, there's a straight line from Gamergate to the Capitol Hill riots.

01:43:00.000 No, there isn't.

01:43:02.000 Like as if this 53 year old guy with a beard who's like knocking the barricades over had anything to do with complaining about the character design in, you know, Battlefield 1.

01:43:13.000 So the Gamergate thing is that, can you explain it really quick?

01:43:16.000 Uh, no.

01:43:17.000 No, you can't explain it really quick.

01:43:19.000 Ten words or less.

01:43:20.000 This'll be the next book, this'll be the next book.

01:43:21.000 What happened?

01:43:22.000 So it was like, female developers? 0.98

01:43:25.000 It was like, gamers didn't like political correctness in video games.

01:43:29.000 And they all came to a head over, and then they started fighting the journalists who did want political correctness in video games, and that went on for a year.

01:43:35.000 Hold on, hold on, hold on.

01:43:38.000 It's one of the core elements that led to that moment was, Video game companies would advertise on games journalism websites.

01:43:45.000 So like, you'd go to, we'll just call it game website, and say, you know, I'll pay you $1,000 to promote my game.

01:43:52.000 The website would then write articles that were supposed to review the game, but it would all be positive coverage.

01:43:57.000 Why?

01:43:57.000 They didn't want to lose their paycheck.

01:43:59.000 So it was corrupt.

01:44:00.000 They were writing favorable stories about their sponsors and getting paid to do it.

01:44:05.000 So this led to a controversy over ethics in gaming journalism.

01:44:09.000 There was this specific moment with the people I'm not going to name, which triggered this, and then ultimately it became very much about these journalists were social justice activists.

01:44:18.000 And it's very, very simple, actually.

01:44:20.000 When you are in the modern digital era, and you have a job that pays you a salary, you need to write articles every single day.

01:44:27.000 In fact, many of these companies, because I worked for Vice and I worked for Fusion, the editors in the morning meeting says, what stories do you have today?

01:44:34.000 And they would say, video game came out yesterday and I wrote about it.

01:44:37.000 We're doing the walkthrough guide for, you know, Zelda, but what else can we really write about?

01:44:43.000 Oh, I know!

01:44:44.000 Why don't you complain that Zelda is, uh, I don't know, white. 1.00

01:44:48.000 So they just started creating drama?

01:44:49.000 Yes, they needed something to write about so they would have content every day.

01:44:53.000 And they're saying this creation of drama is what led to where we're at now?

01:44:57.000 There's a lot of issues around Gamergate, but the general idea is, from my perspective having worked for these companies, they were so desperate to make some kind of daily content that they just made political issues out of games.

01:45:08.000 Dude, rage bait! 0.74

01:45:10.000 The argument is that that was the first cultural pushback against the left, therefore it was the first step on the road to Donald Trump.

01:45:19.000 I love this narrative, by the way.

01:45:21.000 There's no truth to it whatsoever, but I love that it's out there.

01:45:23.000 I do think that the rage-bait culture has kind of led us to become where we're at now.

01:45:28.000 I mean, you could say that liberal media organization rage-baits against Trump.

01:45:33.000 What did AOC just say in an interview?

01:45:34.000 She said, I was scared that the white supremacist members of Congress would reveal my location and she'd be killed. 0.90

01:45:40.000 White supremacists, what? 0.97

01:45:44.000 Which guy?

01:45:44.000 That one guy from Iowa who lost?

01:45:46.000 It's ridiculous. 0.94

01:45:48.000 Yeah, because they're demanding the arrest of Lauren Boebert. 0.98

01:45:51.000 These people, look.

01:45:54.000 They're criticizing the Republicans who are calling for unity.

01:45:56.000 The Republicans criticize the left who called for unity after Trump won.

01:45:59.000 It's a never-ending cycle. 0.95

01:46:00.000 I remember like 2018, they were like, it's okay to punch a Nazi.

01:46:03.000 I think I said it once in joking, and then regretted it, and then other people started saying it, and then it started spiraling out.

01:46:10.000 So it's all over the place.

01:46:13.000 The problem is that... It's allegory.

01:46:15.000 It's hyperbole.

01:46:16.000 There are no Nazis these days.

01:46:17.000 Nazis was a party of Hitler's.

01:46:19.000 You could have a National Socialist like Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump.

01:46:23.000 Isn't that funny?

01:46:24.000 Bernie Sanders is a National Socialist.

01:46:26.000 He's a National Socialist.

01:46:27.000 But he's not a Nazi.

01:46:28.000 The Nazis were Hitler's party.

01:46:29.000 Right.

01:46:30.000 So much of politics these days is LARPing.

01:46:32.000 Like it is with the internet communists as well.

01:46:34.000 People with a hammer and sickle in their avatar really they just want Medicare for all.

01:46:38.000 Do they really even know what that means?

01:46:40.000 Which is a very left-wing policy, but you're still not a communist.

01:46:43.000 I don't think they know what it actually means.

01:46:44.000 Because, you know, when I hear people say universal health care, Medicare for all, I'm like, it sounds like you didn't actually look into it.

01:46:50.000 Because you can talk about what Bernie says when he says, like, every other country on the planet has this, why can't we have it?

01:46:56.000 And then he goes, ban private health insurance.

01:46:58.000 And you're like, well, no other country does that.

01:47:00.000 Like, most other countries that have a universal level of care have private health care as supplemental.

01:47:05.000 So that's why I actually, I actually am in favor of that because I've actually read into it.

01:47:08.000 I've looked at the costs and I think there's some difficult challenges.

01:47:11.000 But when I hear these people say, you know, and there's some people I respect too.

01:47:14.000 Jimmy Dore's in favor of Medicare for All with no private, with banning private insurance.

01:47:18.000 I disagree.

01:47:18.000 I think he's wrong.

01:47:18.000 I don't think he's read into it enough.

01:47:20.000 But I respect the guy a whole lot.

01:47:21.000 He's very principled.

01:47:23.000 I think many of these people who say that, they're LARPing and they don't know what they're saying.

01:47:26.000 They don't know what it means.

01:47:27.000 They didn't look into the costs.

01:47:28.000 Ask them, oh, so what do you do to the two million people who lose their jobs?

01:47:31.000 What is it, two million?

01:47:32.000 Some massive number of people who will lose their jobs.

01:47:34.000 And then create massive economic crash when a large portion of our economy is gutted.

01:47:40.000 That's one of the biggest problems we have.

01:47:42.000 We don't have World War II to create a national crisis of mass death that forces us to create national health services.

01:47:49.000 Anyway, let's read some more Super Chats.

01:47:51.000 Rob Lowe robs Lowe's?

01:47:53.000 Oh, I have to do it now.

01:47:57.000 How many Lowe's could Rob Lowe rob if Rob Lowe could rob Lowe's?

01:48:00.000 He says, Tim, I was wondering if you would be okay with having my sister on your show.

01:48:04.000 She's starting a life coach podcast.

01:48:05.000 I only ask because it could be nice to have someone that believes a positive lifestyle and removing the screen and clutter of life.

01:48:13.000 I won't lie to you.

01:48:14.000 Uh, probably not, but that's because we, we, we usually don't book based on, you know, people messaging us and stuff, but we will look into it.

01:48:21.000 So feel free to send us an email to, what was it?

01:48:22.000 Spintheufo at Gmail?

01:48:24.000 Spintheufo at gmail.com.

01:48:27.000 Good morning.

01:48:28.000 Sunday morning, says... What the Dems, Big Tech, and NYC is doing with Trump sounds like what the Romans called... Damn, uh, Damnatio. 0.99

01:48:35.000 Is that what it is? 0.99

01:48:36.000 Damnatio Memori?

01:48:38.000 Yes, Damnatio Memori.

01:48:39.000 After a disliked politician died, his name would be removed from buildings, statues changed, etc.

01:48:44.000 That's weird.

01:48:45.000 That's just weird and creepy.

01:48:48.000 Let's see.

01:48:50.000 J of Legend says, doesn't the 10th Amendment already protect the Bill of Rights from feds, state, and the people, aka civilians? 0.78

01:48:56.000 And since the 10 defines people separate of government, it also clarifies the second, which would mean Twitter, FB, etc.

01:49:02.000 are already breaking the law.

01:49:04.000 I'm not a constitutional scholar, so I have no idea how to answer that.

01:49:09.000 We should tweet it like Will Chamberlain or somebody.

01:49:11.000 Yeah, Joshua Cassell says, I'm from Ontario and we have an enforced stay at home starting at midnight.

01:49:17.000 I can't legally see my girlfriend in another city still going.

01:49:20.000 Also have to have to have note from work to go to work now.

01:49:23.000 I wonder if I could like hire people to document what it's like to be in the lockdown

01:49:29.000 as a media organization, offer them up a very light contract of like,

01:49:33.000 man, I'd love for you to be able to document what it's like going to your girlfriend's house

01:49:37.000 when this lockdown is in place.

01:49:38.000 I gotta be honest, it's really interesting.

01:49:40.000 You might see no cars, no businesses.

01:49:42.000 I'd like to hire someone to be able to do that.

01:49:44.000 Hey, guess what?

01:49:45.000 You'll have to drive to your girlfriend's to do it, and you'll be at work.

01:49:47.000 I could write you a note.

01:49:48.000 Yeah, it's absolutely crazy what's happening in Canada, in the United Kingdom, and we have to understand this is all happening under democratic rule, and most likely those same restrictions are coming to the United States very soon as well.

01:50:00.000 That's why people gotta get out of the cities.

01:50:02.000 But we're seeing something interesting.

01:50:03.000 We're seeing a blue immigration into red areas.

01:50:08.000 And I was talking to someone earlier who is very conservative and was like, you can tell.

01:50:12.000 Because, you know, out here in the middle of nowhere you got bears and stuff.

01:50:15.000 And they'll post on Nextdoor, that app.

01:50:17.000 You guys know what Nextdoor is?

01:50:18.000 It's a social media for your zip code.

01:50:19.000 And you can tell if they just moved here because they're complaining about a lot of what people are doing.

01:50:23.000 And it's like, I don't think you realized where you moved to.

01:50:26.000 No one is going to get your back on this.

01:50:27.000 You're on your own.

01:50:28.000 Quite literally.

01:50:29.000 Not disrespectfully.

01:50:30.000 Just literally everybody takes care of themselves.

01:50:32.000 It's like, you got animals?

01:50:33.000 Figure it out.

01:50:35.000 Go on the internet and research what to do about big bears coming on your property, cause no one's gonna help you.

01:50:40.000 Help, help!

01:50:40.000 Call the police!

01:50:41.000 Where?

01:50:42.000 Where are they?

01:50:42.000 45 minutes away?

01:50:44.000 Good luck.

01:50:44.000 Yeah, Florida's like another country when you go down there.

01:50:47.000 I mean, I think DeSantis is going to be a contender in 24, just in a big part, and a big reason of that is because of the way he responded to COVID.

01:50:53.000 Yep.

01:50:54.000 Jason Stanek says, hi Tim and co. 0.98

01:50:56.000 I'm just some random guy that registered with the FEC and ran a pathetic campaign for president.

01:51:01.000 Thought you might want to check out my crappy website before I take it down next week.

01:51:06.000 My username dot com, bye.

01:51:08.000 So, Jason Stanek 2020 is his name.

01:51:12.000 Let's see here.

01:51:13.000 Louis Cintron says, Poland has a pending contract with Raytheon.

01:51:17.000 Don't forget who just joined the cabinet.

01:51:20.000 So does that mean they're going to bend the knee?

01:51:21.000 I don't know.

01:51:23.000 I don't know.

01:51:24.000 Daniel Nelson says, I think if Parler taught us anything, it's that when given the opportunity to speak freely, people will take that opportunity.

01:51:31.000 I personally took a few jokes too far on there.

01:51:33.000 I'll own up to it.

01:51:35.000 Definitely.

01:51:35.000 I think there is a real problem with online anonymity.

01:51:41.000 It is a serious challenge, though.

01:51:42.000 There are dissidents who face persecution and prosecution in their horrifying dictatorships if they find out who's saying these things. 0.64

01:51:49.000 At the same time, there are people who will never be held accountable for saying really disgusting and awful things, and they just love being nasty.

01:51:57.000 We really did build a culture of being awful people on the internet.

01:52:01.000 It kind of bums me out.

01:52:01.000 We didn't build it.

01:52:02.000 The algorithms incentivized it.

01:52:04.000 No, no, no.

01:52:05.000 I'm talking about going back to CompuServe and bulletin board systems.

01:52:08.000 I've changed my view on this.

01:52:09.000 People can be nasty when they're anonymous, but actually I think they're nastier when they have a face and a name behind it because then you've got the virtue signaling incentive.

01:52:17.000 I'm going to condemn these people and my reputation will go up.

01:52:20.000 An ego to defend it.

01:52:22.000 Uh, interesting.

01:52:22.000 This one might be controversial.

01:52:23.000 You ready for something controversial?

01:52:24.000 Mm-hmm.

01:52:25.000 Raph Meinster says, Mr. Bakari, how was Ghost writing Milo's book like?

01:52:29.000 Uh, interesting.

01:52:31.000 Is that true?

01:52:32.000 I mean, uh, you'd have to look into it and read the reports.

01:52:35.000 Oh, is that what they're claiming?

01:52:37.000 I'm going to go ahead and get my phone.

01:52:38.000 I don't know, that's why I said maybe it's controversial.

01:52:40.000 We'll leave it there, then.

01:52:41.000 Colin Keehy says, I don't know if I'm just out of the loop, but it seems like Parlor came out of nowhere.

01:52:46.000 The first I'd ever heard of alt-tech was Styx, and he was talking about Gab mines and BitChute, but never Parlor.

01:52:52.000 That's true, I don't understand why Parler became the go-to app.

01:52:55.000 Gab already existed.

01:52:56.000 It had a lot of mainline Republican support, a lot of big donors, but they also did a lot of KYC where you needed a phone number to join, and they admittedly worked with the police on many investigations as well.

01:53:10.000 Interesting.

01:53:11.000 Oh, is there another one I'm missing from you, Gareth?

01:53:16.000 This is the problem with segmented... there we go.

01:53:19.000 Garrett says, Tim, you need to understand that regulations violate individual rights.

01:53:23.000 Corporations are legally individuals, and big tech regulations are against everything

01:53:28.000 the GOP stands for. Regulations are fascism. I disagree.

01:53:32.000 It's like, there's a certain level of too much power for government and too much power for corporations.

01:53:37.000 A regulation is not necessarily, in and of itself, too much power.

01:53:42.000 If it's restricting access because it's holding something back, I think I'm totally in favor of that.

01:53:46.000 I don't know if you guys want to disagree.

01:53:48.000 No, I agree.

01:53:48.000 I mean, Aristotle's cycle of regimes, it's amazing how it happens to almost every republic.

01:53:52.000 It descends into oligarchy.

01:53:54.000 Yep.

01:53:55.000 Gareth Green says, further, your whole thing about tech suppression will destroy dissent

01:53:58.000 and competition forever is incredibly short-sighted because it only creates a market for competition.

01:54:03.000 And moreover, you forget how new social media is.

01:54:06.000 The free market will crush them in time.

01:54:08.000 How's Parler doing?

01:54:10.000 I mean, Gab's doing well because they're building the entire infrastructure, even their own browsers and their own phones.

01:54:16.000 But they have gone after every competitor and tried to suppress them.

01:54:20.000 And it's not just that.

01:54:21.000 YouTube uses its subsidy from Google to suppress any video competition.

01:54:26.000 The one thing that really props up YouTube is the ability to make money.

01:54:28.000 The one reason you can make money is because YouTube is subsidizing it to make sure no one else can emerge in the space.

01:54:34.000 There are other platforms that have tried to make money for people, but they just don't make enough.

01:54:38.000 And so people don't use them.

01:54:40.000 Let's see.

01:54:42.000 Robert Pointer says, Hey, went to Timcast.com today and became a member.

01:54:45.000 Love what you do.

01:54:46.000 Keep it up.

01:54:46.000 And you can become a member too, because Timcast IRL is great.

01:54:51.000 I don't know.

01:54:51.000 What is it saying?

01:54:52.000 That's true.

01:54:53.000 Is good, but it can be better with members only content.

01:54:56.000 I'm going to use that line.

01:54:57.000 I like that.

01:54:57.000 Wonder Woman 1984 was pretty bad, but that meme is pretty good of Pedro Pascal saying life is good, but it can be better.

01:55:05.000 So that's a good meme to use.

01:55:06.000 I'm gonna use that one.

01:55:08.000 Alright, let's see what else we got here.

01:55:09.000 Interesting.

01:55:10.000 I don't know, you're British, right?

01:55:11.000 has more power behind the scenes than anyone anyone know.

01:55:15.000 She has an audience with the prime minister every week, and no one knows what goes on

01:55:18.000 between them. My idea is that instead of chief executive, the monarch could be the head

01:55:22.000 of the judiciary. Interesting.

01:55:23.000 I know you're British, right? You have an opinion on that?

01:55:27.000 I've never heard that theory before.

01:55:29.000 They truly are.

01:55:30.000 She does have the meeting every week with the Prime Minister and it's true, no one really knows what is discussed there.

01:55:36.000 Sometimes, you know, there are leaks and, you know, there's the whole Netflix theories where they, you know, fictionalized it.

01:55:43.000 We have a very, very important one.

01:55:44.000 Tom Drolet says, simping for Ian.

01:55:46.000 Stay real, brother.

01:55:47.000 Yo, homie.

01:55:50.000 Dad teaches and words to my son says, holy hell, Ian, have some chicken noodle soup and vitamin C and lots of water.

01:55:56.000 Oh, okay.

01:55:57.000 Thank you.

01:55:57.000 Yeah, didn't he, like, nuke them?

01:55:58.000 He shut down the second central bank and they tried to shoot him.

01:55:59.000 They did shoot him.

01:56:00.000 when President Jackson, who was against centralized banking, proposed shutting it down.

01:56:04.000 The bank threatened to collapse the economy.

01:56:06.000 Well, they threatened the wrong man.

01:56:08.000 Yeah, didn't he like nuke them?

01:56:10.000 And like shut down the second central bank.

01:56:12.000 I wouldn't mess with Jackson.

01:56:14.000 And they tried to shoot him.

01:56:15.000 They did shoot him.

01:56:16.000 Wow, what?

01:56:17.000 Yeah, he got assassination attempt when he tried to shut down the second central bank.

01:56:21.000 Wow.

01:56:22.000 And it was a span of 20 years that they shut the big bank down, and that's why they put him on the $20 bill, allegedly.

01:56:29.000 Oh, really?

01:56:29.000 Yeah.

01:56:30.000 That was like a smack in the face.

01:56:32.000 Double check that.

01:56:33.000 But last week was unprecedented political violence, never before in American history.

01:56:37.000 Yeah, never happened.

01:56:38.000 Never happened.

01:56:39.000 Yeah, it was actually, you know that story about that one guy, what was his name?

01:56:42.000 Alexander Hamilton?

01:56:44.000 Yeah, totally made up.

01:56:46.000 Never had dueling?

01:56:46.000 Not a thing.

01:56:47.000 Just this country?

01:56:48.000 Nah.

01:56:48.000 Last summer?

01:56:49.000 Didn't happen.

01:56:49.000 Yeah, no, no, no, no.

01:56:50.000 Yeah, Black Lives Matter? 0.72

01:56:52.000 Just something your parents made up to scare you before bed.

01:56:54.000 Make sure you don't break the rules.

01:56:55.000 Alright, let's see.

01:56:59.000 Christian McHatton says, if you rewatch Catch Me If You Can, the banking scene where he goes in as a grifter and gets denied, then goes back in as a pilot and commands the authority to cash his checks.

01:57:08.000 Authority lies where people believe it resides.

01:57:11.000 That's right.

01:57:12.000 Absolutely true.

01:57:12.000 That's why I ate for free a lot with my press card.

01:57:15.000 Yeah.

01:57:16.000 Walking into places like, oh, he's got a press card.

01:57:18.000 You know, we're scared of him.

01:57:21.000 TJ Pfister says, this is one flu over the cuckoo's nest.

01:57:24.000 Trump is Jack Nicholson walking into the asylum.

01:57:27.000 It culminates with the party, the DC riot.

01:57:29.000 Now Nurse Ratchet has shut it all down and forcing us to take our pills to make us behave. 1.00

01:57:34.000 Didn't he like break out the window and then run away?

01:57:37.000 No, that was his friend.

01:57:38.000 He got lobotomized.

01:57:39.000 Oh, that's nice.

01:57:41.000 Great.

01:57:42.000 Oh, man.

01:57:46.000 Jordan Moeller says, Tim Pool, who has $10 a month to spend on basically what we're getting for free, let alone $1,000 a month? 0.94

01:57:53.000 Grifter, shame. 0.97

01:57:54.000 Is that a real comment?

01:57:56.000 How much did you spend on that super chat?

01:57:57.000 $10?

01:57:57.000 $5?

01:57:58.000 Thank you for your money!

01:58:01.000 Um, the website isn't just going to be nothing.

01:58:04.000 We're going to have exclusive live streams and behind-the-scenes access and, you know, segments and interviews.

01:58:09.000 We literally launched it on Monday.

01:58:11.000 So it's like, we just put it up, I put it up, and we're actually going to do events too.

01:58:15.000 So who has $10 a month?

01:58:16.000 Well, if you don't, I mean, you don't, then watch the show for free.

01:58:19.000 Did you ever see that Twitch girl who was like, was telling people to subscribe to her channel?

01:58:23.000 I mean, it's just, it's just wretched.

01:58:24.000 She was like, you're not giving me money.

01:58:26.000 She's like, you are, I don't even want to respond.

01:58:29.000 This is what I love about the future.

01:58:30.000 This show is free.

01:58:32.000 It's free on all podcast platforms.

01:58:34.000 It is free to watch live.

01:58:35.000 You can comment in the chat section and do all that stuff.

01:58:38.000 And then we're going to have a members only space with extra stuff.

01:58:42.000 So it's like you get a free show.

01:58:44.000 You still get that.

01:58:45.000 Discounts on merch.

01:58:46.000 Here's the point.

01:58:47.000 I actually, you know, I wanted to have a $5,000, a $10,000, a $30,000, a $50,000, a $100,000.

01:58:50.000 Because if you don't ask, the answer's always no.

01:58:57.000 Right?

01:58:58.000 So you throw it out there and then see if someone throws a bunch of crazy money at you for some reason, which they usually do.

01:59:03.000 They basically don't.

01:59:04.000 Didn't someone send like $10 million in Bitcoin to that one guy?

01:59:07.000 What's his name?

01:59:10.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:59:13.000 I thought that they sent quite a bit.

01:59:15.000 They said quite a bit of Bitcoin.

01:59:16.000 I'm not sure how much exactly.

01:59:18.000 Oh, maybe I'm thinking of somebody else.

01:59:19.000 What's the guy's name that everyone's like, you gotta have him on the show, you gotta have him on the show?

01:59:22.000 No.

01:59:23.000 Fuentes.

01:59:23.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:59:24.000 Nick Fuentes.

01:59:24.000 Oh, oh, oh.

01:59:25.000 Then I heard that someone sent him like millions of dollars in Bitcoin a month ago or something.

01:59:29.000 I was thinking of, we were talking about Weave.

01:59:31.000 He got sent like a million dollars.

01:59:32.000 Oh, wow.

01:59:32.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:59:33.000 I was like, what are you talking about?

01:59:34.000 No.

01:59:35.000 Yeah, that'd be cool to be able to let people pay with crypto to sign up for the month.

01:59:39.000 That'd be cool.

01:59:39.000 That's really hard to do.

01:59:41.000 Yeah, this, this grifting thing.

01:59:42.000 I mean, no one ever yells grifter at the Washington Post for making you pay to read lies.

01:59:47.000 Yep.

01:59:47.000 Yeah.

01:59:48.000 Xerocifer says, things are so bad even in Canada.

01:59:51.000 I am called a white sup.

01:59:53.000 I am the only white person in my house.

01:59:55.000 I proved shelter to half, uh, I provide shelter to a half native woman and her kids rent free. 0.97

02:00:01.000 The oldest calls me daddy and is half Asian, but I am the problem. 0.52

02:00:04.000 I fear not for my future, but his.

02:00:06.000 Wow.

02:00:07.000 That's a bummer.

02:00:09.000 Let's see.

02:00:09.000 Shinjito says, Hey Tim, I'll watch the live stream later, but wanted to ask you, is there a way to become a member through Bitcoin or is it only PayPal for now?

02:00:16.000 If so, any idea when other payment options will be implemented to keep up the good work?

02:00:19.000 Probably just PayPal for now, because I don't think we have the infrastructure to build something like that.

02:00:24.000 Maybe it should be built, but there's only so much a dude who complains on the internet can do.

02:00:27.000 I think there's float.app that already does something like this that allows people to use cryptocurrencies for subscription based kind of profiles.

02:00:36.000 Daniel Maxwell says, at Luke, fake woke comment.

02:00:39.000 I am behalf of all non-human primates.

02:00:42.000 Oh, on behalf of all non-human primates, I am offended by your shirt.

02:00:46.000 I hope that one is on your site.

02:00:49.000 It is on my site, yes.

02:00:51.000 WeAreChange.org first slash shirt.

02:00:52.000 Okapot says, Tim, all phones are always recording.

02:00:55.000 If you thoroughly read all the disclosures and end-user license agreements, they will tell you this.

02:01:00.000 All phones have most devices are compromised and total listening to everything 100%.

02:01:04.000 I actually did the story on this when I believe it first started coming out.

02:01:09.000 Because, you know, phones have voice activation.

02:01:11.000 And so do the little devices used by, you know, Google and Amazon.

02:01:15.000 Which means the microphones have to be on.

02:01:17.000 Otherwise, how would they know what you were saying?

02:01:19.000 The other thing is, the way they know what you're saying is they send the audio to a company that transcribes it, and then sends the text as data, and then they can use that to translate.

02:01:29.000 There are some apps where they'll, like, say the word three times to record your voice, but they don't work that well.

02:01:35.000 Because you might say, it'll be like, say your name, and then you'll say, Tim.

02:01:40.000 Tim.

02:01:41.000 And then the next time you do it, you'll be like, Tim!

02:01:43.000 And then they'll not register that it's you.

02:01:45.000 So now they do this whole thing where they are constantly sending... That's why voice text doesn't work when you don't have internet.

02:01:52.000 So yes, that I know.

02:01:54.000 They claim, though, it's not actually being used to, you know, record and then sell ads.

02:02:00.000 This is what they always say.

02:02:01.000 To improve the service.

02:02:04.000 I used to.

02:02:05.000 I held on my Android 5 as long as I could because you could take the battery out.

02:02:08.000 But these all have embedded batteries, I think.

02:02:11.000 Let me check that.

02:02:13.000 Daniel Bundrick says, Wild!

02:02:14.000 How many people identify as Libertarian but pay no attention to the Libertarian Party?

02:02:18.000 I think conservative thought leaders should sign agreements to overthrow the Libertarian Party, toss its leaders, and turn it into a party that intends to win.

02:02:27.000 Yeah, I think, um, the Libertarian Party may be the only real viable party at this point.

02:02:34.000 They can move forward.

02:02:35.000 Mind Fury says, love the show.

02:02:36.000 I think you- Libertarians will never, ever win a national election of the United States for a complete show. 0.79

02:02:41.000 If every single, well, I think now's the opportunity- Yeah, well, if everyone voted for them, then yes, but that would have- No, no, no, if the Trump supporters abandoned the GOP, then you'd have a massive wave to whatever party is viable.

02:02:51.000 You're... That's an entirely new party, like a Patriot Party, like some people are talking about.

02:02:57.000 That's much more like than the Libertarians ever winning anything.

02:03:00.000 They're just too... They're not gonna win.

02:03:02.000 You don't think so?

02:03:03.000 I mean, they got, what, 5 million votes last time?

02:03:05.000 Most people just see them as a joke party.

02:03:08.000 Yeah.

02:03:09.000 Let's see.

02:03:10.000 Mindfury says, Love the show.

02:03:11.000 I think YouTube is mocking you.

02:03:13.000 The JRE show with you, Dorsey, and Vijaya has been queued up to play after this.

02:03:18.000 Well, that's good, isn't it?

02:03:19.000 Especially right now.

02:03:20.000 Watch it.

02:03:21.000 Robert Miller says, hey Luke, order they do a Civil War shirt.

02:03:24.000 Teespring says, violates policy so they won't make it.

02:03:26.000 What up?

02:03:27.000 Sarcasm is not allowed?

02:03:28.000 They don't get satire?

02:03:29.000 I complained, of course.

02:03:30.000 What, what, what happened?

02:03:31.000 You know that shirt with her poke in the thing? 0.66

02:03:32.000 Yes.

02:03:33.000 Yeah, he said it was, it's banned.

02:03:34.000 What?

02:03:35.000 Yep.

02:03:36.000 I'm gonna double check that.

02:03:37.000 I didn't get any notifications. 0.63

02:03:38.000 That's why my shirts are silly.

02:03:39.000 Like.

02:03:40.000 Yeah.

02:03:41.000 I mean, the shirt I'm wearing isn't that pretty serious right now?

02:03:43.000 Oh, they'll call it racist. 0.93

02:03:44.000 Well... If you would like to get an I Am A Gorilla t-shirt, make sure you go to teespring.com slash stores slash timcast and you will see I Am A Gorilla.

02:03:52.000 You're actually an ape, but we're just saying you're a gorilla because it's funny. 0.92

02:03:57.000 That's right. 0.80

02:03:57.000 It's a reference to the book Ishmael and we've reappropriated the meme so that it's, I am a gorilla, love yourself. 0.80

02:04:04.000 So we also have a special Valentine's Day shirt of a gorilla.

02:04:07.000 We're trying to figure out exactly what it should look like.

02:04:09.000 And I'm thinking it should be a gorilla screaming with spit coming out and his eyes going the wrong directions, demanding that you love yourself.

02:04:15.000 Well, technically I have a gorilla on my shirt and he believes that the government is the answer to our problems. 0.73

02:04:21.000 I think it's a chimp skull. 0.99

02:04:23.000 That could be a gorilla. 0.63

02:04:24.000 I'm pretty sure it is.

02:04:27.000 Okay, gorillas are apes, so we are descended from gorillas.

02:04:30.000 We are not.

02:04:31.000 We share a common ancestor.

02:04:32.000 From apes, right?

02:04:33.000 The great ape.

02:04:33.000 From a primate of some sort.

02:04:35.000 Oh, cool.

02:04:36.000 Let's see, Kenneth Anderson says, Hey Tim, big fan of the show.

02:04:37.000 I just wanted to ask you about your opinion on growing support of Tex-It.

02:04:42.000 Oh, is that Texas seceding from the Union?

02:04:44.000 I don't know, man.

02:04:44.000 I don't think that'll ever happen.

02:04:45.000 I think the United States needs to remain unified and strong because China is a serious threat, and if we broke up, then China would just take over. 0.94

02:04:51.000 And that's, you know, pretty important.

02:04:54.000 Let's just do one more, a couple, let's do two more. 0.80

02:04:57.000 Ed says, if Trump gets impeached, I am never voting Republican ever again, and I think others should do the same.

02:05:03.000 Right on.

02:05:04.000 And Charles Balyozian says, Alam, great foresight with hashtag deleted.

02:05:09.000 Reading now, and you're on point.

02:05:11.000 Also, recognize Armenia, I am also a gorilla.

02:05:16.000 Interesting.

02:05:16.000 Well, with that being said, People are yelling Ishmael in the chat.

02:05:20.000 With that being said, though, Elam, you wrote a book on tech censorship called... Deleted, Big Tech's Battle to Erase the Trump Movement and Steal the Election.

02:05:30.000 If you read books, go and buy it.

02:05:32.000 It's at deletedbook.com.

02:05:34.000 If you know someone who reads books, maybe someone two decades older than you who doesn't know what a YouTube is, give it to them as well, because everyone needs to understand this threat, even if they don't use the internet.

02:05:44.000 You've been covering the censorship stuff forever, basically.

02:05:48.000 Essentially, yes.

02:05:49.000 Since 2015, since before anyone figured out it was going to be a problem, Breitbart News did, because we saw how hostile the left had become to free speech, and we saw the internet as the greatest platform for free speech.

02:06:01.000 So it was inevitable that those two trends would collide, and they did.

02:06:04.000 Right on, man.

02:06:05.000 Well, thanks for hanging out tonight.

02:06:06.000 Do you want to mention any other social media or anything?

02:06:08.000 Yeah, thanks for having me on, Tim.

02:06:09.000 I'm still on Twitter for now.

02:06:12.000 I haven't been banned yet.

02:06:13.000 At Libertarian Blue, a legacy from when I didn't think libertarians were a joke.

02:06:18.000 But you can't change your handle these days without getting de-verified, and you need that blue check more than ever if you don't want to be shadow banned.

02:06:25.000 You can also find me on Gab at AB, and until recently... AB?

02:06:29.000 At AB.

02:06:30.000 I've got one of those nice short handles.

02:06:32.000 Early adopter.

02:06:34.000 And until recently you could find me on Parler at Alamby, and maybe when they come back you can find me there again.

02:06:39.000 We'll see.

02:06:40.000 And obviously go to Breitbart News if you want the latest tech news articles.

02:06:44.000 Right on.

02:06:45.000 Of course, Luke's hanging out.

02:06:46.000 Yeah, my independent media channel is WeAreChange on YouTube.

02:06:51.000 And if you believe the government is the answer to our problems, this shirt is not for you.

02:06:56.000 And you should not go to WeAreChange.org forward slash shirts to get one yourself.

02:07:03.000 That would also support my efforts here on this show.

02:07:06.000 So don't do that.

02:07:07.000 Remember, do as you're told.

02:07:08.000 Unless you're a gorilla.

02:07:10.000 Yes.

02:07:11.000 Ian, I hear you have social media.

02:07:12.000 Are you a gorilla?

02:07:14.000 Have you bought an I Am A Gorilla shirt?

02:07:16.000 Yes, I do have social media, Tim.

02:07:18.000 At Ian Crossland.

02:07:19.000 I pretty much have cornerstoned all the social networks, except I don't know if I'm on Gab yet.

02:07:24.000 I might be, but I'm on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook.

02:07:27.000 Instagram and Mines.

02:07:29.000 Come follow me on Mines.

02:07:30.000 I co-founded that.

02:07:31.000 We barely talked about Mines today, but along the lines with Gab and Parler, it's a free software social network.

02:07:38.000 M-I-N-D-S dot com. 1.00

02:07:41.000 Mines.

02:07:41.000 That's right.

02:07:42.000 And don't forget you can follow at Sour Patch Lids by pressing all the buttons.

02:07:44.000 You can.

02:07:45.000 I am.

02:07:45.000 This is true.

02:07:45.000 I am right now only on Twitter since Parler is gone.

02:07:48.000 My handle is Sour Patch Lids.

02:07:50.000 L-Y-D-S. 1.00

02:07:51.000 And then when I get on Gab, I think I'm going to have my handle be the same.

02:07:54.000 So I think I'll do that today.

02:07:55.000 Wonderful, and of course, if you haven't already, smash the like button, subscribe, hit the notification bell, and if you would like to protect us from big tech censorship, we've got a lot of stuff in the works.

02:08:04.000 You can go to TimCast.com, become a member to get exclusive members-only content, which will be coming soon.

02:08:10.000 There are also some issues people are having with login, so just bear with us as we're getting everything ramped up.

02:08:14.000 But our goal is, my goal, I should say this, is if we can get a dedicated and large enough support base from members, we will be totally insulated and free from any threats of real censorship.

02:08:25.000 You know, I've had TimCast.com for some time, and it was just like, hey, donate if you want to, and I really decided to lean into this because, you know, more importantly, many successful podcasts thrive only off of their core users and members and those who really support the show, and that allows them to Well, it allows them that protection and that freedom.

02:08:44.000 And, you know, they don't have to worry about getting banned from YouTube.

02:08:47.000 I'm hoping that we can reach that level.

02:08:48.000 What that means is, if you are a member, the exclusive content you will get will probably be a bit more bombastic and the uncensored access to some of these segments with some of our guests, which we'll start producing soon.

02:08:58.000 And again, we're also going to have in-person live events for very small crews.

02:09:03.000 So the goal is we're gonna have like comedians and political commentators and pundits, musicians, doing shows on site and a small select group of members will, you know, we're gonna put out an email saying tickets are available, first come first served, but then the events will be live streamed and we'll do special member access streams and interviews and things like that.

02:09:20.000 So we have a big plan in the works to get this, you know, up and running and just more than what it is now and we could use your support.

02:09:26.000 So again, TimCast.com.

02:09:27.000 Don't forget to, like I said, like, share, and subscribe.

02:09:29.000 You can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Mines at TimCast.

02:09:33.000 You can check out my other channels, YouTube.com slash TimCast and YouTube.com slash TimCastNews.

02:09:37.000 We will be back tomorrow at 8 p.m.

02:09:40.000 live.

02:09:41.000 Thank you all so much for hanging out, and we will see you all then.
