Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Trump SLAMS Kenosha Riots As Domestic Terror Amid Tour Of CIty, Elijah Schaffer Joins

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:25.000 Donald Trump went to Kenosha and he called the violence their domestic

00:00:40.000 terrorism and I think he's right just based on everything we've seen across

00:00:45.000 this country When you have people walking up to, you know, people who are eating at their diners and they're demanding they raise their fists and they're threatening people and their businesses, their homes, they're vandalizing their homes.

00:00:58.000 They went to the condo of the mayor of Portland.

00:01:02.000 And they threw flaming garbage into one of the restaurants of his building.

00:01:07.000 So anyway, we got a lot to talk about here.

00:01:09.000 There's a lot going on, but far be it from me.

00:01:11.000 I mean, look, I'm the guy who stopped going on the ground.

00:01:14.000 I used to do it all the time.

00:01:15.000 And so I'm sitting here thinking, you know, we got to get somebody who knows what's going on.

00:01:18.000 So we did, and we got a guy right here.

00:01:20.000 What's your name?

00:01:22.000 Who are you? My name is Elijah Schaefer, but people call me slightly offensive and they,

00:01:26.000 I think we were talking about this earlier, they, people think that's my real name. Like,

00:01:30.000 they don't get like Timcast or is not your real name, you know? Yeah. So it's like,

00:01:34.000 like, hey, Mr. Cast. So they always call me like, yo, slightly, what's up? Slightly.

00:01:38.000 But my mom didn't name me that.

00:01:40.000 Is that your Christian name?

00:01:42.000 I think the maiden name of my Korean family is Lee.

00:01:47.000 Really?

00:01:48.000 Slightly, yeah.

00:01:49.000 Of course, of course it is.

00:01:50.000 Slightly.

00:01:51.000 Slightly!

00:01:51.000 Love it.

00:01:52.000 So there's a lot of funny stuff to talk about.

00:01:54.000 Nancy Pelosi was caught getting her hair done.

00:01:56.000 They actually went into a closed down salon.

00:01:59.000 Man, I hate these people.

00:02:01.000 I hate to say it because I don't like to hate anybody, but We've seen it over and over again, the Democrats flaunting their own lockdown rules.

00:02:08.000 The mayor of—it was the mayor of Philadelphia, right?

00:02:10.000 Yeah.

00:02:11.000 This guy, this mayor of Philadelphia, locks down indoor dining.

00:02:13.000 And then he goes— Off in Maryland.

00:02:15.000 And then he went to Maryland to go indoor dining.

00:02:17.000 Did you see de Blasio, too, in New York, who had just tweeted that everyone needs to wear a mask, was caught outside walking a dog with no mask.

00:02:25.000 Yeah.

00:02:25.000 And they went hiking for miles.

00:02:27.000 Yeah, man.

00:02:28.000 And then it's just— I don't even know what to say anymore to most people.

00:02:34.000 Do we all know that the media is lying and the Democrats are lying?

00:02:38.000 I mean, you can criticize Trump.

00:02:39.000 I say it all the time, but they're like, Trump is encouraging violence.

00:02:44.000 Trump has been calling for law and order nonstop for months.

00:02:46.000 He's been screaming about it.

00:02:48.000 But you turn on the news and they're like, that Trump calling for more violence.

00:02:51.000 Joe Biden's campaign staff, they paid the bail fund for a lot of these people.

00:02:55.000 And then Kamala Harris directly solicited this stuff.

00:02:59.000 But the media narrative is just, you know, Yeah, but people are smart about this because if you look at even John MacArthur, pastor in LA, you know, when he opened it back up his church, he said, this is a protest, right?

00:03:11.000 This is a protest.

00:03:13.000 It was very smart.

00:03:14.000 And even with Trump messing around with that too, saying, oh yeah, yeah, no, we're just protesting peacefully out here.

00:03:19.000 I think people see through the BS at this point.

00:03:22.000 If you talk to the average person, it actually gives me hope.

00:03:24.000 If you just kind of casually in a grocery store, bring up with someone like, Oh, hey, yeah, you know, these masks, I mean, are they really work in the way they're saying people are like, man, I, I mean, I'm just wearing them because I've got to because I've got to wear one.

00:03:37.000 And when you talk to the average person, though, for the most part, they don't really know what's going on.

00:03:42.000 But they know something fishy is going on, at least like they seem to be suspicious of what's happening.

00:03:47.000 Well, I think when you see the mayor of Philadelphia saying, you can't eat inside, you know, it's dangerous.

00:03:52.000 And then he looks at his watch and is like, I'm going to go to Maryland and go eat inside.

00:03:54.000 I don't believe them.

00:03:56.000 You saw Chicago, where Chicago said they're going to give awards to people who can figure out how to creatively help people to dine outside during winter.

00:04:05.000 And then another creator named Flecos was like, yeah, it's called indoor dining.

00:04:10.000 That is very creative.

00:04:11.000 I get the whole... I get the mask thing.

00:04:14.000 I think a lot of people have... It's the weirdest... The mask thing is the weirdest thing to me, because conservatives early on were the ones championing masks.

00:04:22.000 When they were saying, don't buy masks, and Fauci's on TV being like, nah, don't buy a mask, ain't gonna do anything.

00:04:27.000 I remember Cassandra Fairbanks being like, I'm buying a mask, you guys are crazy.

00:04:30.000 And now it's flipped.

00:04:32.000 And now they're like, you gotta wear a mask!

00:04:34.000 You think the right was pro-mask in the beginning?

00:04:36.000 They were pro-mask, it's a fact.

00:04:37.000 Who other than Cassandra was pro-mask?

00:04:40.000 You're gonna have to, off the top of my head, I'm not gonna be able to give you names other than Cassandra, but you go on Twitter and when COVID was first happening, end of January into February, yeah, a bunch of conservatives were like- Was this the CPAC when everyone was freaking out about CPAC?

00:04:53.000 Dude, I got a message from somebody saying, yo, they just said don't get masks, you better go buy masks now.

00:05:00.000 They're contrarians.

00:05:01.000 No, no, I don't think it's about being contrarian.

00:05:03.000 No?

00:05:04.000 Yeah, maybe actually you're right.

00:05:06.000 I think that's why it flipped, yeah.

00:05:07.000 I'll tell you this.

00:05:10.000 Nobody seems to have any idea what the mask thing is about.

00:05:13.000 It's the weirdest thing to me when, like, Herman Cain died, right?

00:05:15.000 That dude's awesome, by the way.

00:05:16.000 I don't know if you saw that documentary, Uncle Tom.

00:05:18.000 Have you seen it?

00:05:20.000 No, I haven't seen it.

00:05:20.000 I know the creator, but I feel bad.

00:05:22.000 He's probably going to watch this, and I have not watched it yet.

00:05:24.000 Dude, Herman Cain.

00:05:25.000 It was amazing.

00:05:26.000 When he died, they said he had COVID, and he wouldn't wear a mask.

00:05:31.000 And I'm like, but that's not what they've been telling us.

00:05:33.000 They're telling us to wear a mask so you don't get other people sick.

00:05:36.000 Are they implying that he died, he had it, and he could have gotten other people sick?

00:05:40.000 If that's the case, then why does it matter that he lost his life, that he died?

00:05:44.000 It's because they're insinuating it was supposed to protect him, while they're simultaneously arguing it's supposed to protect other people.

00:05:49.000 And so that's what... nothing seems to make sense.

00:05:51.000 I see people on the right posting this saying, you know, oh, it's not going to protect you anyway.

00:05:55.000 And I'm like, no, it's so you don't spit on people.

00:05:57.000 It's like to reduce you spitting on people.

00:05:59.000 That's just like very obvious.

00:06:00.000 If you wear a mask, you won't spit on somebody.

00:06:02.000 But you know, on a funny note, this isn't even scientific, but I love this YouTuber who walked around and asked people if their underwear protects them from smelling farts, and he uses that as his argument against masks.

00:06:14.000 I know it's stupid, but it made me laugh.

00:06:16.000 It made me laugh.

00:06:16.000 Listen, man.

00:06:17.000 Let's be real.

00:06:18.000 It does protect you from sharts.

00:06:19.000 Yeah.

00:06:20.000 Somebody's in my house.

00:06:22.000 I do want to say something about the mask.

00:06:23.000 So I, for the first time out in Fort Worth, Texas, I went to an AMC, which I believe is a Chinese owned company.

00:06:29.000 And it said on the door that you cannot wear N95 respirators, neck gaiters, bandanas, or any type of face cloth covering.

00:06:37.000 You have to wear certified full face coverings of the nose to the chin.

00:06:42.000 You can buy them at the front desk as according to the World Health Organization, not even

00:06:47.000 the CDC.

00:06:48.000 So I know that this mask debate is not just, you know, I guess it's not just associated

00:06:53.000 with one partisan side.

00:06:54.000 I mean, people are kind of confused even on the business side of things.

00:06:57.000 I'm not concerned about mask demand, to be completely honest.

00:07:01.000 Someone sent me a really cool mask, got a little beanie on it, and it fits really well.

00:07:04.000 And I go to the store, I'll put it on, I take it off when I come out of the store.

00:07:08.000 The bigger issue for me is that the curve's gone.

00:07:10.000 The sunbelt spike everyone was worried about turned out to be nothing, it's gone away.

00:07:14.000 We're seeing that it's, like, over.

00:07:18.000 I mean, it's great.

00:07:19.000 New Jersey just reopened indoor dining, 25%.

00:07:23.000 And parts of California are starting to be completely reopened.

00:07:28.000 You know, have you seen those studies?

00:07:29.000 I mean, some people say it's 30, 60, 80% of restaurants, at least by 2021, are going to close permanently.

00:07:35.000 I mean, 25%?

00:07:35.000 These restaurants are having a hard time.

00:07:37.000 I mean, I have friends in the restaurant business.

00:07:39.000 I mean, these are very successful people.

00:07:41.000 And I know firsthand that they have a hard time even sometimes reaching profitability with full capacity, especially if people aren't, let's say, perusing and buying a lot of alcohol, you know, because they make a huge profit margin there.

00:07:53.000 I mean, I don't know about you, but like, It's a slap in the face to open up at 25% capacity.

00:07:58.000 Might as well stay closed and live on PPE or something.

00:08:01.000 My point is, for the most part, that it's over.

00:08:06.000 They're reopening everywhere.

00:08:07.000 We're seeing some areas with no restrictions anymore, totally reopened.

00:08:11.000 Florida, I'm told, is basically just reopened completely.

00:08:14.000 A bunch of the Republican states never really fully locked down and won't anyway.

00:08:17.000 Fort Worth is pretty... I'm not going to out this.

00:08:22.000 So we have a the bar scene went into like full speakeasy during this and like there's some speakeasies there's one local one which I can't talk about but you get into the kitchen and I think they cleared nearly between half a million to a million in alcohol sales in one month in a small speakeasy during the initial few weeks shut down.

00:08:40.000 Nowhere else to go huh?

00:08:41.000 Nowhere else to go, my friend.

00:08:43.000 All right.

00:08:43.000 Well, anyway, anyway.

00:08:44.000 Strong start.

00:08:45.000 Yeah.

00:08:46.000 Great introduction.

00:08:47.000 Thanks.

00:08:47.000 Thanks for joining us.

00:08:49.000 If you haven't already, smash the like button and don't forget to subscribe.

00:08:52.000 We're live Monday through Friday at 8 p.m.

00:08:54.000 We'll have clips up every day and we got a lot we got a lot to talk about.

00:08:57.000 But Elijah, we got to talk about the riots, man.

00:09:00.000 Oh, we we have a lot to talk about.

00:09:03.000 People have seen the clips, but they don't get a lot of the context.

00:09:06.000 You are on the ground.

00:09:09.000 Yeah, unfortunately my life's been on the ground for 27 years.

00:09:14.000 I mean, I've been on the ground watching things that I never thought I would see with my eyes, like face to face.

00:09:19.000 You were just in Kenosha?

00:09:21.000 I was in Kenosha for longer than I thought, and you know what's weird about that?

00:09:24.000 Kenosha, people don't realize, Kenosha's a little bit north of Chicago.

00:09:28.000 I was actually in Chicago covering Black Lives Matter unrest when the riots broke out in Kenosha, and I had to get a rental car and go drive up to Kenosha.

00:09:37.000 How long did it take you to get there?

00:09:38.000 Like a half hour?

00:09:39.000 Forty-five minutes?

00:09:39.000 Ninety minutes.

00:09:40.000 Ninety?

00:09:41.000 Really?

00:09:41.000 It took me ninety minutes.

00:09:42.000 I don't know why.

00:09:44.000 Maybe it was traffic.

00:09:45.000 Maybe.

00:09:46.000 It was traffic?

00:09:47.000 Yeah, I mean, it was toll roads and just weird stuff.

00:09:51.000 Were you on the south side of Chicago with the riots or was it downtown?

00:09:54.000 Well, specifically, I was in downtown.

00:09:57.000 I was staying at the Hotel Chicago, which is not that glamorous, but it's alright.

00:10:01.000 It's like a three-star hotel.

00:10:02.000 It's what you get in the media business.

00:10:04.000 It's like, it's like kind of gross looking, isn't it?

00:10:06.000 Like on the inside.

00:10:07.000 You know, Chicago always feels like somebody is going to come out with like a Tommy gun and light you up.

00:10:13.000 The hallways are always too dim.

00:10:15.000 Oh no, no, no.

00:10:16.000 They come out with like a Glock and they'll, you know, turn it sideways.

00:10:19.000 It feels like you have 1930s, 1940s organized crime, you know, Yeah.

00:10:25.000 Cool!

00:10:25.000 core and feel, but with like a modern, like, uh, you know, South side gang kill you with a Glock kind of.

00:10:31.000 Yeah.

00:10:32.000 Yeah.

00:10:32.000 It's, it's interesting because you used to have the Chicago accent

00:10:35.000 and it's kind of gone away now.

00:10:36.000 So where it used to be, uh, you know, what scene, you know, they pull out

00:10:40.000 the gun now it's just a regular guy back.

00:10:42.000 How do you do, sir?

00:10:43.000 This is my gun.

00:10:43.000 Bang.

00:10:44.000 And you're like, oh, I'm dead.

00:10:45.000 Well, Chicago, Chicago, what people don't realize too, is, is, uh, there

00:10:49.000 was a free R Kelly, um, protest going on there, which apparently has a

00:10:53.000 whole cult in Chicago that follow him like a god.

00:10:57.000 But in order to calm the riots and the looting, you're talking about on every city block in Chicago right now, or at least last weekend that I was there, between 7 to 10 squad cars per block with about 20 to 30 officers posted.

00:11:11.000 Like a post-apocalyptic, just heavy police presence.

00:11:15.000 Are they hiring people out of their house?

00:11:19.000 And I don't know where they got all these cops from.

00:11:21.000 I really didn't even know.

00:11:21.000 So this was because of the looting in Chicago?

00:11:23.000 Yeah, because Lori Lightfoot and the commissioner decided that obviously they were getting bad PR.

00:11:29.000 There's only a certain amount of looting and rioting that you can allow in your city.

00:11:32.000 There's a finite amount.

00:11:33.000 It should be zero, but all right.

00:11:35.000 I mean, well, I counted at least three buildings completely destroyed just next to my hotel.

00:11:42.000 Really, really sad stuff.

00:11:45.000 I mean, when you look at it, if you live in a big city, you know exactly the scene I'm talking about.

00:11:49.000 Unfortunately, it's more cities than just Chicago.

00:11:51.000 But what it was was a complete occupation A police occupation.

00:11:56.000 So if you want to talk about less police, actually, by allowing the rioting, you're causing an increased police presence.

00:12:02.000 If you had just stopped it in the beginning, then you wouldn't have all these police out.

00:12:06.000 But I have never seen, I'm telling you Tim, Lydia, I've never seen that many police in maybe a 12 city block area.

00:12:15.000 It was basically the whole, at least half of the department would have just been there all day.

00:12:20.000 And that's not going to stop if the riots go to the neighborhoods.

00:12:23.000 Chicago's huge.

00:12:23.000 And they did.

00:12:24.000 Black Lives Matter said they went to Whitney High School in Chicago and they marched the neighborhoods yelling.

00:12:30.000 And I'm not making this a race issue.

00:12:32.000 They were pointing out, hey, look at those white people up there.

00:12:36.000 Look at you.

00:12:37.000 Come down here.

00:12:38.000 You join us.

00:12:38.000 And they started blasting rap music, which Which sounded pretty lit, actually.

00:12:43.000 It was pretty good.

00:12:44.000 Pretty good sound system they had, the mobile sound system.

00:12:46.000 They started blasting it to wake up the neighbors, get them out, screaming at them, pointing left and right.

00:12:52.000 You white folks, get down here!

00:12:53.000 And there was a real racial tension in the suburbs.

00:12:56.000 And I've seen this in Seattle, in Portland.

00:13:00.000 I mean, we're seeing this across the country that even as we increase security in the cities, they are coming to our houses.

00:13:07.000 And I'm not fear mongering.

00:13:08.000 I've been saying it, man.

00:13:10.000 It's, earlier in the year, or even last year, I mean, three years ago, I was like, man, it looks like Civil War, and a bunch of people were saying things like, oh, calm down, everything's fine, and it wasn't like me just making things up, I referenced it all the time, it was an article in The Atlantic, saying, you know, tensions are escalating, possibly the Civil War's becoming real.

00:13:30.000 And then a lot of these predictions that I made, they were not grandiose predictions, but they started coming true.

00:13:36.000 Like, I was like, oh man, I think we're going to start seeing major riots based on what we saw with Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.

00:13:41.000 This is going to keep happening.

00:13:42.000 Then Eric Garner.

00:13:43.000 And then people are like, oh, calm down.

00:13:45.000 There's not going to be, you know, racialized protests.

00:13:47.000 And then boom, there it goes.

00:13:48.000 And then riots.

00:13:49.000 And then it gets worse and worse and worse because the media fans the flames.

00:13:52.000 But I'll tell you this.

00:13:54.000 Part of what, you know, leads me to where I am, speaking in terms of, you know, not Wisconsin and stuff.

00:13:59.000 I was in Wisconsin in, I think it was 2016?

00:14:02.000 I think it was 2016.

00:14:05.000 Where there were, there was rioting.

00:14:07.000 Because this dude got shot and killed.

00:14:09.000 It was a black dude.

00:14:11.000 And when I was there, There were a bunch of people yelling things like, get the white people.

00:14:16.000 And an 18 year old white kid got shot in the neck with a .22.

00:14:19.000 He wasn't even part of the protest.

00:14:20.000 He wasn't anywhere near it.

00:14:21.000 This was in Milwaukee.

00:14:23.000 He was just like crossing the street and someone saw him and shot him and he took a bullet in the neck.

00:14:26.000 Fortunately, it was a .22, but it did hit his spine.

00:14:29.000 And so, but so again, look, this is not, I think the good people in this country know it's not about race, but there are certainly racists in this country who want it to be.

00:14:41.000 The kid himself was saved by a black dude, you know, who rescued him and then the cops came in and brought him away in an APC.

00:14:47.000 But it was, there were a lot of racist people and they were directly targeting people based on race.

00:14:54.000 And so I made a video where I said straight up, it is dangerous to be here if you are at least perceived to be white or perceivably white.

00:15:01.000 So I can't cover this anymore.

00:15:03.000 And I made a video about it.

00:15:04.000 And boy, did I get, you know, crapped all over from so many lefties like, you're racist.

00:15:09.000 I'm like, A kid got shot in the neck, bro!

00:15:12.000 And they were yelling, like, get him, get the white people.

00:15:14.000 And so I was just like, having grown up in Chicago and seen, look, racism exists across the spectrum.

00:15:20.000 It doesn't matter what your race is.

00:15:22.000 You can be racist.

00:15:22.000 The left tries to deny this.

00:15:24.000 I was like, I can't, you know, I can't be out here.

00:15:27.000 You know, and a lot of people felt the same, felt similarly.

00:15:30.000 And I was actually, I've been told this by Fallout activists, that white people shouldn't report in, you know, for POC events.

00:15:38.000 You know what?

00:15:38.000 I'm going to share my experience.

00:15:40.000 Hi, my name is Elijah.

00:15:41.000 I'm a person of colorlessness.

00:15:43.000 I will let you know I have a theory.

00:15:46.000 We're all people of color.

00:15:47.000 I think it's such a stupid phrase, honestly, people of color.

00:15:50.000 I mean, I found out what people of color was in college because this is during like the rise of the social justice warrior, you know, back in the early 2010s.

00:16:00.000 And I remember that I had used the phrase, the opposite phrase which was to be colored people and my professor gave me a C- and told me that was a pejorative that was considered discriminatory.

00:16:14.000 Now it's not...

00:16:16.000 on the ADL level, but I didn't know that.

00:16:18.000 I actually didn't know that.

00:16:20.000 I'll be honest.

00:16:20.000 When they say that you're ignorant or not woke, I honestly, I just had heard that.

00:16:24.000 And to be fair, I just spoke to some liberal people who use the same phrase recently, and I didn't know, they didn't know that that had changed.

00:16:32.000 And she told me it was a person of color.

00:16:34.000 That was the first time I heard of it.

00:16:35.000 I said, that's fine.

00:16:36.000 Okay, cool.

00:16:36.000 I'll use that.

00:16:37.000 It's been offensive for a long time.

00:16:39.000 I just didn't know it though.

00:16:39.000 Right, right.

00:16:41.000 The latest thing is that you have to say a person of disability or like, you know, so you don't say a disabled person.

00:16:47.000 So you don't put the descriptor before?

00:16:48.000 Because I mean, this is where I'm a bit uneducated here.

00:16:50.000 And so the social justice narrative is that they're people first.

00:16:53.000 Okay, so that's why people of color.

00:16:57.000 And people of disabilities and people of whatever else.

00:17:00.000 But see, this is where it gets weird to me because when you get down into it, You know, I said, fine, okay, like, I'm okay with that.

00:17:07.000 Okay, I just didn't know that.

00:17:07.000 I'm going, fine, I'm in college, I apologize, whatever.

00:17:10.000 I got a C-minus or whatever on the paper for an ignorant mistake, according to her, and I'm just a, you know, young kid and I didn't realize it.

00:17:17.000 What class was this?

00:17:18.000 This is upper division theology.

00:17:23.000 Like you're getting marked down on your grade?

00:17:25.000 This was the same theology class at Azusa Pacific University where she said she made us imagine what if Jesus was homosexual because of the leaning of the chest at the Last Supper.

00:17:35.000 And even though not realizing that was an artwork, it was basically everything that's wrong with Christianity and theology in the modern era and post-modern era.

00:17:42.000 So it was like an anti-theology class.

00:17:44.000 It was like one of those theology class that is probably run by an atheist feminist that knows nothing about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and claims to be a herald and a sponsor.

00:17:55.000 It was like seminary.

00:17:57.000 And I remember like I was there and I remember thinking that was weird because actually my degree is in molecular biology.

00:18:03.000 That's my focus and genetic engineering and stuff.

00:18:06.000 And I remember thinking, person of color?

00:18:08.000 That goes against all confines of science.

00:18:11.000 We are all people of color.

00:18:13.000 But I'm saying it on a scientific term.

00:18:16.000 It's political.

00:18:18.000 But that's where I first started realizing that politics doesn't follow logic.

00:18:24.000 It doesn't follow science.

00:18:25.000 It doesn't follow any sort of basis for reason because I'm going, look, I'm freckled.

00:18:31.000 I'm a person of concentrated color.

00:18:34.000 I'm a lobster.

00:18:35.000 If you look at me on the camera, I'm basically a hue of Red or pink.

00:18:40.000 Like, I mean, and it's just so weird when I go to these events, I don't think about race.

00:18:44.000 I don't think about all these things until I go to these events is what I'm trying to say.

00:18:47.000 And I'm around these people that are, you know, fighting me saying you were racist or fighting the white people up there.

00:18:53.000 And who's talking about race?

00:18:55.000 Who's talking about division?

00:18:56.000 Who's sowing the seeds of discourse and problems in our country?

00:19:00.000 It's those who are heralding unification.

00:19:03.000 Well, they claim to be heralding unification.

00:19:05.000 They're not.

00:19:05.000 They're heralding division, like digitization or balkanization.

00:19:08.000 They want to separate everybody.

00:19:09.000 That's one of my biggest problems with everything that's been going on.

00:19:15.000 So when you see these riots, which are seeking to enforce, through terror, this ideology, Then, for me, it's the same issue.

00:19:25.000 Right?

00:19:25.000 That's why recently I came out and said I was going to vote for Trump specifically for this reason.

00:19:28.000 Nice.

00:19:29.000 You've got... Look, there's only some... Look, early on, when you see like the SJWs in culture and gaming and all that stuff, it's like, wow, we better do something about this.

00:19:40.000 Now it's in government.

00:19:41.000 Now the CDC, 10% of their employees, wrote a letter demanding that the CDC declare a national health crisis of racism.

00:19:49.000 And I'm like... Is that real?

00:19:50.000 Yes.

00:19:51.000 Yeah.

00:19:51.000 I mean, I believe you.

00:19:52.000 I just wish you were lying.

00:19:54.000 It makes no sense.

00:19:55.000 But we've seen cities across the country do it.

00:19:57.000 Declare racism to be a public health crisis.

00:20:00.000 And then what do you do?

00:20:01.000 What are you supposed to do with that?

00:20:05.000 Because it's true, will you discriminate against people now?

00:20:07.000 I don't know what you're trying to tell me by saying that's the case.

00:20:10.000 It seems like it doesn't actually make any sense.

00:20:13.000 It's just meant to be a play for power.

00:20:15.000 Right.

00:20:16.000 You know, and this is where I want to bring things up.

00:20:18.000 Because on one hand, I want to be really fair.

00:20:21.000 And I think that there's a weird faction of the right wing that goes, we're all equal, everybody's got an equal playing field.

00:20:27.000 They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:20:28.000 But also too, like that kid in the wheelchair probably won't be as good at football as that six foot five, 280 pound freshman.

00:20:36.000 Just, just, I'm not, I mean, I'm not predicting, I'm just gonna say there are some things that either we're born with or even our families or socioeconomic status that in the left's terms do allow us and make us privileged in their, this is their words not mine, into having maybe certain opportunities.

00:20:52.000 Do I agree that America is the best place to overcome the disparaging differences and negativities in your own life?

00:20:59.000 Yes.

00:21:00.000 But I think that if we're gonna have a conversation about problems economically or culturally

00:21:06.000 in the black community or issues with race relations between white and black people and why that exists

00:21:13.000 based on certain crime stats or issues, I'm okay with that.

00:21:16.000 And I think those conversations should happen, especially in areas of academia.

00:21:19.000 But when you take the intellectually lazy response or approach and just say, well, it's that inherently

00:21:26.000 all white people have internalized misogyny, imperialism, and racism.

00:21:32.000 That's just racism.

00:21:33.000 And we all are somehow against black people.

00:21:37.000 Black people, therefore, cannot be racist because racism is really discrimination with power.

00:21:41.000 This whole critical race theory, it's just BS.

00:21:44.000 The issue is that the left is overtly racist.

00:21:48.000 They're avowed racists.

00:21:51.000 And I'm not making this up.

00:21:52.000 No, I agree.

00:21:53.000 Robin D'Angelo, what is that her name?

00:21:55.000 Yeah, Robin D'Angelo.

00:21:56.000 She's an avowed racist.

00:21:57.000 D'Angelo.

00:21:59.000 Sponsored by corporations.

00:22:00.000 Avowed.

00:22:01.000 Let me show you some proof.

00:22:02.000 Check this out.

00:22:03.000 I got this tweet here from Rod Dreher.

00:22:05.000 He says Northwestern University Law School had a town hall meeting online recently.

00:22:10.000 Everybody began with a ritual denunciation of themselves as racist.

00:22:14.000 The reader, Professor Speta is not racist.

00:22:18.000 I don't know who the guy is.

00:22:19.000 All I can tell you is this.

00:22:20.000 that he is forced to say otherwise.

00:22:21.000 I don't care whether he was forced to say it or not because I don't know what you're

00:22:26.000 talking about.

00:22:27.000 I don't know who the guy is.

00:22:28.000 All I can tell you is this.

00:22:29.000 Here's a text message where Emily Mullen, I don't know who she is, says, she's a racist.

00:22:33.000 Sarah Somervoite says she is a racist.

00:22:36.000 And James Spetta says he is a racist.

00:22:38.000 They are avowed racists!

00:22:40.000 Stop listening to their opinions!

00:22:42.000 I'll tell you this, when you see the Black Lives Matter sign pop up on Netflix, I want you to go to the people who run the Boston Red Sox and say, so this person, here's a chapter in their book where they say they're a racist.

00:22:53.000 Is it normal policy for you to build your marketing based off of overt racism?

00:22:57.000 Why do you hate minorities?

00:22:59.000 They straight up say right here, they're racist.

00:23:03.000 They're saying it to us.

00:23:04.000 Why is anyone on the left listening to them?

00:23:07.000 Listen, this is where my mind fireworks.

00:23:12.000 My brain explodes because what I've always noticed too, is it's the people lecturing us that are the ones going, Hey, look, man, let me, it's like this being like, look, man, I want to talk to you about your violent tendencies and fixing them.

00:23:23.000 I'm a murderer.

00:23:25.000 I've ripped people's heads off with my bare hands and I want to talk to you about how you're violent.

00:23:29.000 And you go, wait, wait, wait a second.

00:23:31.000 I'm not violent.

00:23:32.000 And they go, have you ever been mad at someone?

00:23:33.000 And you go, yeah.

00:23:34.000 And they go, have you ever had a secret thought that you wanted to take someone's life?

00:23:38.000 Even, even faintly.

00:23:39.000 And you go, not really.

00:23:41.000 And they go, well, have you ever just like watched a movie and wondered how it's done?

00:23:43.000 You go, yeah.

00:23:44.000 I go, see, there you go.

00:23:44.000 You're a murderer.

00:23:45.000 And you go, well, hold on.

00:23:46.000 No, I literally.

00:23:48.000 No!

00:23:49.000 No!

00:23:49.000 Wait, wait, hold on.

00:23:50.000 So, look, I'm not gonna read... Actually, that's an ignorant thing to say.

00:23:55.000 I should definitely read White Fragility.

00:23:57.000 My understanding of it, and to be completely fair, is based off of critical analysis from some people.

00:24:01.000 You should make a show out of it and just do it with your audience.

00:24:04.000 I would watch it with you.

00:24:05.000 I'd imagine the video would get taken down for the things she says.

00:24:08.000 Do you know that... So, correct me if I'm wrong, but she says that she is uncomfortable around black people.

00:24:13.000 Robin, D'Angelo, whatever.

00:24:14.000 She says that when she walks into a room full of black people, she feels uncomfortable.

00:24:18.000 And that's, again, my understanding is coming from critical analysis from other people, but if that's true, I mean, she's an avowed racist.

00:24:25.000 I don't understand that feeling.

00:24:27.000 You know, I grew up in an area with all these different people of different races.

00:24:30.000 I don't feel uncomfortable around people.

00:24:32.000 But they know they're racist!

00:24:33.000 See, you come up with a good point, and I can't out these people, because now they have really high-ranking level jobs in big corporations, and they may or may not have relation to me.

00:24:43.000 So I have to be careful here.

00:24:44.000 But, you know, I've watched them.

00:24:46.000 They're staunch liberals, staunch Democrats on the left.

00:24:48.000 They're not liberals.

00:24:50.000 I'm just saying, like, according to their own, they're self-avowed, self-described.

00:24:53.000 And the things they say about minorities in the United States are things I've never thought to even say.

00:25:00.000 And I'm going, no wonder why you think everyone's racist, because you have such racist thoughts about people that you think we all do.

00:25:07.000 Like, for instance, I was in an elevator with one of these people.

00:25:10.000 And these Asian people walked in, and this is their words, not mine, do not take me out of context, and I'm going to use- Just don't quote them.

00:25:16.000 No, I'm going to use very subtle- Just paraphrase it.

00:25:18.000 Yeah, translation, of like, oh my gosh, they said, why are Asians so not aware of their social surroundings and so annoying?

00:25:27.000 And I literally sat there, and they're standing right there, like, how would you just say that out loud?

00:25:31.000 Now, this person fights racism, they're against racism, everything, I'm going, Well no wonder why you're fighting racism whenever like an Asian just maybe coincidentally like just maybe is in a conversation ignores you and you assume that all Asians are just ignorant of social spaces in public.

00:25:45.000 That's a discriminatory thought across the board because not all Asians are first generation.

00:25:49.000 So going back to the point you made where you're like the murderer says I've ripped you know people's heads off.

00:25:55.000 See, the counterpoint I would have is, if Robin DiAngelo came to me and she told me she was an avowed racist, who is uncomfortable around brown people or black people or whatever, and then she said, have you ever had this thought?

00:26:08.000 I'd say, no.

00:26:09.000 I can honestly say, it's not the case.

00:26:13.000 Maybe it's because I come from a mixed-race family.

00:26:16.000 No, I don't.

00:26:17.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:26:17.000 Mixed race family.

00:26:18.000 What's your ethnicity?

00:26:19.000 Korean.

00:26:19.000 You're part Korean?

00:26:20.000 Yeah, that's what I said.

00:26:21.000 Is that why you're so smart?

00:26:24.000 You know what's really funny about this though?

00:26:27.000 I was talking to a friend of mine and we were talking about YouTube demonetization and like shutting down channels.

00:26:32.000 And I was like, you know, they were saying it's political and they're targeting the right.

00:26:35.000 And I said, I think it's kind of everybody.

00:26:37.000 Like my mom makes math tutorial videos and they came and demonetized her.

00:26:40.000 And then my friend was like, why am I not surprised your Korean mom makes math videos?

00:26:45.000 And you know, the first thing I did was I texted my mom.

00:26:48.000 I was like, this is amazing.

00:26:49.000 And my mom was laughing about it.

00:26:50.000 She loved it.

00:26:50.000 So that was funny because we know it was, it was supposed to be mocking the stereotype.

00:26:56.000 You know what I mean?

00:26:56.000 It was supposed to be... It's good humor!

00:26:58.000 No, no, no.

00:26:58.000 The idea when this person made this joke was not to insult me.

00:27:02.000 It was to actually, like, insult the stereotype.

00:27:05.000 It was like, there's this silly stereotype, and here's a joke, and we laugh about it.

00:27:12.000 You know how I know that it's all BS?

00:27:14.000 Because if we can still laugh at racist jokes towards white people, then people still understand that there's a difference between humor and culture and real, actual hatred in your heart.

00:27:23.000 Like if you can still make a joke about a white person and be like, you know, like let's say I try to like dunk a ball and I miss or something and someone goes, yeah, nice jump white boy.

00:27:30.000 And I'm not like, I've had a black guy say that to me on a basketball court.

00:27:33.000 Believe it or not, I play basketball sometimes bad at it because I'm left handed and I've compound fractured my left arm.

00:27:39.000 So the ball always goes a little bit some weird direction.

00:27:42.000 Just turn your body slightly.

00:27:43.000 Yeah, it's very, very, very odd.

00:27:45.000 Like the world right now, just in a weird direction.

00:27:48.000 But I will say this, that when someone says, oh, you can't jump, I don't think like, oh, there's a black guy that hates white people.

00:27:54.000 I'm thinking, he's just mocking it.

00:27:56.000 There's tons of white people who jump in the NBA.

00:27:59.000 Nobody thinks white people inherently can't jump, but there's just stereotypes that white people like bland food, white people don't dance.

00:28:04.000 But nobody's like, if I dance and it's funky and someone says, oh, you can't dance because you're white, I'm not offended!

00:28:10.000 Yikes.

00:28:10.000 Yeah, I think it's stupid.

00:28:10.000 actually there actually is a good counterpoint to this. I see a lot of these lefties say

00:28:14.000 things like white people have no culture which is derivative of this. You've heard this before

00:28:19.000 though, right? Yeah, I think it's stupid. Like didn't Trudeau say something in Canada

00:28:22.000 about like Canadians have no culture or something? Do you remember that? I don't remember that

00:28:27.000 right off the bat. I don't have a poll. What is Trudeau?

00:28:29.000 Who even wants to remember what Trudeau says?

00:28:31.000 Seriously, good point.

00:28:31.000 That's a good point.

00:28:33.000 But so, deriving from these jokes, people take them seriously, and I think this is a perfect example of why you get people on the left who feel the way they do.

00:28:41.000 They literally are racist.

00:28:43.000 They are telling us.

00:28:44.000 They are screaming in our faces.

00:28:46.000 And people... Look, man, with all due respect, this guy, Rod, who says, Reader, you know, Speta is not a racist.

00:28:53.000 It's sad he has to say this.

00:28:54.000 I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:28:55.000 Anybody who says they're a racist, I'm gonna believe them.

00:28:58.000 Like, listen.

00:29:01.000 If you're that spineless to where you're like... You know the Star Trek thing, there are four lights?

00:29:06.000 No, enlighten me.

00:29:07.000 For real?

00:29:07.000 Enlighten me.

00:29:08.000 Captain Picard gets kidnapped by, it's an alien race, I kid you not, called the Kardashians.

00:29:13.000 And they're tort- yeah.

00:29:14.000 For real?

00:29:15.000 Yeah, they're really gross looking, so don't- Do they have artificial butts?

00:29:18.000 No, they don't.

00:29:19.000 It was well before the Kardashians.

00:29:21.000 But anyway, they're torturing him, and he says there's four lights in front of him, and he's like,

00:29:26.000 There are five lights.

00:29:27.000 And Picard keeps saying, there are four lights, and like, defying that they were trying to force him to believe this.

00:29:33.000 It's very similar to what we've been seeing lately with the two plus two equals five thing.

00:29:36.000 You've seen that?

00:29:38.000 Yeah, so you have these people right now.

00:29:40.000 If they're saying they're racists, I'll take their word for it.

00:29:43.000 I'm not gonna argue games.

00:29:45.000 I'm not gonna say, oh, they must have been forced to admit publicly that they were racist.

00:29:48.000 I'm gonna be like, dude, if you want to come out and say you're a racist, I'll take your word for it.

00:29:52.000 I don't want to have anything to do with you, and I don't think we should be listening to your opinions if you would say that.

00:29:56.000 Can we talk about this real fast?

00:29:57.000 So there's an organization, it's enough years out.

00:29:59.000 Have you heard of Teach for America?

00:30:01.000 No.

00:30:01.000 So Teach for America, I don't even know if it's a non-profit or if it's a foundation,

00:30:06.000 like a political activist group.

00:30:08.000 But essentially what they do is they try to reverse teaching and education disparities

00:30:14.000 in lower income neighborhoods by essentially taking gifted college students who may be

00:30:20.000 a little bit directionless, like they don't have a lot of direction where they're going,

00:30:24.000 into basically taking on a one to two year teaching assignment on an accelerated teaching

00:30:29.000 credential in hard hit cities like Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, etc.

00:30:35.000 And they do a few great things for you.

00:30:38.000 Before I disparage them, they help pay back your student loans while you're there.

00:30:41.000 That's great.

00:30:42.000 They give you a stipend, they give you a salary, and they give you something to do for a couple

00:30:45.000 years while you don't know what you're doing with a proper salary with medical.

00:30:48.000 So it's not a bad organization.

00:30:50.000 And it's very prestigious actually.

00:30:52.000 It's kind of hard to get accepted because of the fact that there's so many college students

00:30:57.000 who are directionless like they don't have any uh... they don't like all of them

00:31:01.000 basically So it's like everyone graduating- Hold on, hold on.

00:31:03.000 You got a degree in microbi- molecular biology.

00:31:05.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:31:05.000 And you're a journalist.

00:31:07.000 Yeah, I actually dropped out of grad school to do this.

00:31:10.000 Wow.

00:31:11.000 Yeah.

00:31:11.000 So you're not going to be a scientist?

00:31:13.000 I still get messages from med schools saying, please come to our school.

00:31:16.000 I did really well, too.

00:31:18.000 People don't realize this.

00:31:18.000 I almost got a 4.0 in molecular biology.

00:31:22.000 I did extremely well in my advanced courses, did research, worked on projects for immunotherapy.

00:31:29.000 Believe it or not, I know my show is so funny.

00:31:32.000 I purposely am just trying to be very relaxed and normal like I am in real life.

00:31:35.000 But when it comes to the books and math and things, some of us still do maths, you know?

00:31:40.000 Well, so what's up with this program you're talking about?

00:31:42.000 Yeah, so I applied to it because I missed some of the application dates for some of my grad schools and I was going to just take a year off and I was like, eh, no, I'm going to go do this program.

00:31:53.000 And I had to go to the training before we started school.

00:31:56.000 I got my credential, I did all the tests and blah, blah, blah, constitution training.

00:32:00.000 And I passed everything first time and I'm ready to go.

00:32:02.000 And then I have to go to this training in Los Angeles.

00:32:06.000 And the first thing they made us do was to split off into groups of being the

00:32:11.000 oppressed or the oppressor.

00:32:12.000 Now, I want to tell you this.

00:32:15.000 I think I think I was the only.

00:32:20.000 I might've been the only white male.

00:32:23.000 The only oppressor.

00:32:25.000 But there was a group of people, I'm not even gonna use heterosexual or anything, but it was basically just like said, if you like women and you're a man, or you're a woman and you like men, go to this group, et cetera.

00:32:36.000 It was weird that we're talking about our intimate life at a teacher's thing.

00:32:41.000 Like I'm thinking like, I don't know about you, but when I'm in a room with strangers, I'm not interested in what's going on there.

00:32:47.000 You know what all of this is?

00:32:49.000 It's an exercise in independent function of an individual.

00:32:54.000 If you go into a building and they say, here's a job and we are going to negatively impact your life and your salary and your job if you fit certain criteria.

00:33:04.000 And all you have to do is be like, oh yeah, I'm gay, sure, whatever.

00:33:08.000 And then they leave you alone.

00:33:09.000 Well, not for Milo.

00:33:11.000 He didn't get away with that.

00:33:12.000 But I was going to say like, you know, what was weird is by the end of this, I was the only person in my own group.

00:33:17.000 I was the ultimate oppressor.

00:33:19.000 And I remember they're like, does anyone have any negative thoughts about this?

00:33:21.000 And I said, yes, I have thoughts about this.

00:33:24.000 What does this have to do with teaching high school students about cellular function?

00:33:29.000 All I need to tell them is the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

00:33:33.000 And tell Juan to stop looking at inappropriate images during class on his phone.

00:33:38.000 I understand most of it's just class management, but when it gets down to it, I was realizing they were even talking about how there's certain words you can't use, you're not in control of the class, you're managing the class.

00:33:50.000 There's all this weird SJW stuff, and I even hate that word, so 2017, but it's true.

00:33:56.000 This was during that era, so I can use that, 2016 era or whatever.

00:33:59.000 And I sat there and I go, Something is wrong with this country where I've come in to teach kids science, which is very indiscriminate.

00:34:09.000 In fact, for a lot of time, besides people think there's all these debates and evolution and everything, not in real science.

00:34:15.000 Science, everyone just goes, whatever, evolution, you disagree, agree, let's go do research.

00:34:19.000 Let's go study cell development.

00:34:20.000 Let's go study pathways and try to figure out new interferons, et cetera, and develop immunological therapies.

00:34:27.000 No one's like, hey dude, who do you sleep with?

00:34:31.000 No one ever asked me my whole degree.

00:34:33.000 Be fair.

00:34:33.000 I think if I'm going to understand what the mitochondria is, I need to know if

00:34:37.000 you're banging dudes.

00:34:38.000 It's just logic.

00:34:41.000 You know what I mean?

00:34:42.000 It's going on at the powerhouse of the body down there.

00:34:44.000 But like, I mean, like, I'm just thinking like I'm going, I remember sitting there

00:34:47.000 and I, and I, so I called NPR and I, and I talked to, I think it was Larry Elder.

00:34:51.000 And I remember this kind of how I got started.

00:34:53.000 Larry Elder?

00:34:55.000 Is that his name?

00:34:57.000 Is that NPR?

00:34:57.000 He might have been at one point.

00:34:59.000 Maybe I have the wrong person.

00:35:00.000 I could be wrong.

00:35:01.000 You could look that up.

00:35:02.000 But it was one of the big guys and he took me on and I complained about it publicly and said, I cannot, this was during the time of outrage where people were just starting to wake up, and I'm going, I cannot believe I'm trying to get into science and be a professor and go in this direction, and I'm being asked about who I sleep with?

00:35:16.000 I'm being ostracized because of the color of my skin?

00:35:20.000 I'm in this program because I did well.

00:35:21.000 I'm in this program, not like boasting, but I'm here because I have high marks, because I'm overqualified.

00:35:27.000 I'm here, I'm a blessing to this program, not being prideful, but meaning, I'm actually looking at this, not the program, like, you know what?

00:35:34.000 I would love for a year to invest in some high school kids' lives, junior high kids' lives, pour into them, teach them about life, science, help them get into some good colleges.

00:35:41.000 But no, I ended up quitting the program because they demonized me over a weekend experience, literally.

00:35:48.000 And then here's the best part.

00:35:49.000 At the end, they had this weird... You know these really weird exercises that they do?

00:35:54.000 Like these weird, like, group... Have you been a part of any of these?

00:35:56.000 No.

00:35:57.000 You know, look, I didn't go to high school.

00:35:59.000 Okay, you really?

00:36:00.000 I didn't go to high school at all.

00:36:01.000 Do you have a GAD?

00:36:02.000 No.

00:36:03.000 Good.

00:36:03.000 Hey, hell yeah.

00:36:05.000 That's awesome.

00:36:07.000 Dude, I was a teenage anarchist.

00:36:09.000 F the system.

00:36:10.000 I don't play by your rules.

00:36:11.000 I do what I want when I want.

00:36:13.000 That was it.

00:36:14.000 Can we talk about the black clad people in here?

00:36:15.000 Can I mention them by name?

00:36:16.000 Is that Antifa?

00:36:17.000 Okay, I know messes a lot.

00:36:19.000 I don't know if it messes with your live monetization, I'm just saying.

00:36:22.000 Oh no, we're gonna talk about the riots in a second.

00:36:23.000 I'm just saying with Antifa, hey guys, if you're watching this and you're tearing down your city, burning it down, just so you know, you can become a successful YouTuber just like Tim Poole.

00:36:33.000 That was just my PSA to that.

00:36:34.000 Oh yeah, well they're not burning down their own cities.

00:36:36.000 Oh yeah, they're burning down other people's cities.

00:36:38.000 That's right.

00:36:38.000 No, okay, we'll get to that, but I was gonna say, so they had this weird Me Too-esque exercise where we had two separate groups split up and one group got in a circle and we closed our eyes And they had the other group walk around the circle and touch on the shoulder people who they agreed met this question.

00:36:57.000 So they'd ask something like, who changed your experience this weekend?

00:37:00.000 And people would walk up and touch the person with their eyes closed shoulder.

00:37:03.000 Very creepy.

00:37:04.000 You know what I would do?

00:37:06.000 And this is part of the reason why I didn't end up going to high school.

00:37:09.000 It's because I challenged authority no matter what and I prayed upon their assumptions.

00:37:13.000 I was 14.

00:37:15.000 If they did an exercise where they were like this... Close your eyes and let strangers touch you.

00:37:19.000 You know what I would do?

00:37:21.000 I would start making noises and go, I don't like to be touched!

00:37:24.000 And I just, I have stories of when I, so I went to high school for about two months and then ultimately they were like, this kid can't be here.

00:37:32.000 It's like freshman year, 14.

00:37:33.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:37:35.000 This is interesting.

00:37:37.000 They realized I could not be in this school because all of the loopholes, all of the cracks in the system, oh, I found all of them.

00:37:44.000 And I preyed upon every assumption, everything they did, so that they could not actually, like, I found predicaments to put them in where they were like, what do we do?

00:37:54.000 Like, the rules don't apply.

00:37:56.000 There's just funny circumstances where they would try and challenge me on things, and then finally one teacher just told me to F off and gave me an F on a... It's a long story, but I tried preying upon the assumptions of one of the assignments by creating a circumstance in which he couldn't call me a liar, and then ultimately he just took a blank sheet of paper and put an F on it.

00:38:14.000 Oh my gosh.

00:38:15.000 That was essentially what happened.

00:38:16.000 It's a longer story, but... See, I like that.

00:38:19.000 So I got expelled from high school and then I almost got expelled a second time.

00:38:23.000 So I'm proud of you for not even going because it was kind of not worth it.

00:38:27.000 I wish I had those kind of cojones or whatever when I was in high school, but I do know that when I was about to get expelled for the second time from my second high school, they asked me why I crossed the line.

00:38:40.000 And similarly I said, I didn't cross the line, I was smart enough to bend down and see that it was flexible wire.

00:38:46.000 And I grabbed it and I stretched it further past anyone that had ever gone, but I'm still on the other side.

00:38:50.000 Oh my gosh.

00:38:51.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:52.000 Anyway, I bring this up to make the point.

00:38:54.000 A lot of people I know went to school and got that indoctrination.

00:38:57.000 Or at least a little bit of it.

00:38:59.000 They're like drones.

00:39:00.000 As it was creeping in.

00:39:01.000 And so I remember, the reason I didn't go to college specifically was that I read an article from an economist who said, if you go to any investor and say for $40,000 over four years, you will owe $40,000 plus interest, they'll laugh in your face.

00:39:17.000 And so I was like, wow, that doesn't seem to make sense.

00:39:19.000 College seems to be a waste of time.

00:39:20.000 That's why I was like, I'm not gonna do it.

00:39:22.000 I'm not gonna take on debt for this nebulous concept.

00:39:25.000 Guess how much I have left.

00:39:26.000 Debt?

00:39:27.000 Oh, what do you got?

00:39:29.000 92,000 left.

00:39:30.000 Good luck.

00:39:32.000 Yeah, well, like, you know what, though?

00:39:35.000 Luckily, we're in COVID, so it's currently frozen.

00:39:39.000 But I will say, I'll pay that off pretty soon.

00:39:42.000 But I'm just gonna say at the end of all this, when people asked, when at the end, they had a question of whose opinion, like changed your mind the most about the world this weekend, which is weird, we have a weekend training, A lot of people me to me in that moment, you know, and you

00:39:54.000 do you mean they touched me while they taught you.

00:39:59.000 And I don't mean that it wasn't like a glory moment.

00:40:01.000 It was actually a pathetic moment where I was going, Oh my gosh, these are college educated

00:40:04.000 people who probably come from decent universities, you have to have a certain grade cut off,

00:40:08.000 etc.

00:40:09.000 And I did nothing but slightly brought up a little dissension, a little bit of adversity

00:40:16.000 to the mainstream opinion.

00:40:18.000 And this affected you?

00:40:20.000 This is not a good program.

00:40:21.000 This is not helping people.

00:40:23.000 This is just a weird, probably government-funded program that I don't want to be a part of.

00:40:29.000 And I remember just thinking like, man, This is when I actually really woke up to it.

00:40:33.000 I'm going, I don't want to be in the system because the system is going in a weird direction.

00:40:37.000 I don't want to be a part of educating people if educating people becomes indoctrination.

00:40:41.000 And I know that some people are like, well, you know, this sounds like four year old talking points.

00:40:43.000 This was literally four years ago.

00:40:45.000 This is important primer for what we're going to do next.

00:40:48.000 Yeah.

00:40:49.000 I'm just saying like, this is what happened and this is what got me to like, okay, I'm not doing that anymore.

00:40:53.000 And I was lost for a little bit until I realized what was the source of the problem.

00:40:57.000 It's the culture wars.

00:40:58.000 Yeah.

00:40:59.000 So this is, it's been building up for a long time.

00:41:02.000 The media plays a big role in it.

00:41:04.000 Partly because of, I talked about this too, I actually had an argument with Peter Boghossian.

00:41:08.000 Are you familiar with Peter?

00:41:10.000 He's an associate professor of philosophy, I believe, at Portland.

00:41:13.000 It's Portland, right?

00:41:14.000 I'm not sure.

00:41:15.000 I don't know.

00:41:15.000 His last name sounds similar.

00:41:16.000 He's one of these so-called squared hoaxers who tricked a bunch of scientific journals into accepting garbled mumbo-jumbo.

00:41:23.000 Yes!

00:41:23.000 On the feminism and stuff.

00:41:24.000 They rewrote a chapter from Mein Kampf but put in feminist buzzwords and it got approved or something like that.

00:41:28.000 Anyway, we were having a conversation before about whether this started in the universities or started with the media, and I think a lot of what he's saying is true.

00:41:37.000 But I think it only broke into the mainstream because of social media algorithms.

00:41:42.000 The general idea, to simplify, because I talk about it quite a lot, is if you make a video or article... YouTube doesn't work so much this way, but on YouTube... On Facebook, if you make a video about police brutality, it'll get a thousand shares.

00:41:56.000 If you make a video about racism, a thousand shares.

00:41:59.000 If you get a video about racist police brutality, it gets a thousand plus a thousand shares.

00:42:04.000 So, you know, X plus Y. So what ended up happening was companies realized that what was making them the most money was mashing as many keywords as possible into an article.

00:42:11.000 Thus, you get these ideas becoming predominant, you know, very mainstream in 2008.

00:42:17.000 And it was like 2006 when it started.

00:42:20.000 It was, I think it was 06, you know, it was around the Facebook time when people were finding out they could monetize the Facebook news feed.

00:42:26.000 And then by like 2010 you can see all the data and LexisNexis the hockey stick of inclusivity and white fragility and all these phrases are skyrocketing because they realized mixing keywords like there's an article from Vice where it's like black trans women of color fighting for Black Lives Matter against police brutalities proves the patriarchy is real like they just they jam it all in there because what happens is the algorithm shares it with more people.

00:42:50.000 And so, that leads to where we're at now.

00:42:53.000 And I think one of the reasons, it really does, in my opinion, describe your experience, but I do think the ideas had to exist first.

00:43:02.000 So yes, the universities.

00:43:03.000 But my opinion on this is the media, because you take a look at what's going on right now.

00:43:07.000 Police brutality, right?

00:43:07.000 Did you know that there was a period where, like, the most shared videos on Facebook were all police brutality?

00:43:13.000 I believe it.

00:43:14.000 I mean, even watching cops and stuff, people always loved it when the police got down with the suspects.

00:43:19.000 They did.

00:43:19.000 I think the reason for it is that anger is the principal motivator for sharing.

00:43:24.000 It's the most prominent motivator.

00:43:27.000 So people get mad, they share things.

00:43:29.000 When people are happy or inspired, they share a lot less.

00:43:31.000 When people are sad, they definitely don't share.

00:43:33.000 So anger is the number one emotion that drives content sharing.

00:43:38.000 So you make a video about, you know, police brutality.

00:43:41.000 People get angry about it and they share it.

00:43:42.000 This is not okay.

00:43:44.000 And that drives the narrative we have today, which is skewed.

00:43:48.000 And then the mainstream media who's been just...

00:43:51.000 Eating the refuse of the Facebook algorithm for a decade are sitting there in the newsroom believing all of this garbage is real life.

00:43:58.000 You look at Don Lemon's opinion from several years ago.

00:44:01.000 Remember when he said he was talking about Ferguson?

00:44:04.000 Or no, it wasn't Ferguson.

00:44:05.000 He was talking about Black Lives Matter and about how they have to pull their pants up or something.

00:44:09.000 Yeah.

00:44:10.000 Don Lemon made a bunch of racist stereotypes about black people on CNN live.

00:44:15.000 And his opinion is completely inverted today because it's only getting worse and worse and worse.

00:44:19.000 Then what ends up happening is You're talking about this college stuff.

00:44:23.000 And I'm reminded of that viral video.

00:44:24.000 Did you ever see it?

00:44:25.000 Where the guy goes, but you're a white male.

00:44:27.000 Remember that?

00:44:28.000 Sounds like 4,500 videos I've seen.

00:44:31.000 It's the famous meme where the guy's got like really greasy, long black hair and he's watching guy.

00:44:36.000 Yeah.

00:44:37.000 Yeah.

00:44:39.000 Awful.

00:44:39.000 Can you bring up a picture of that Lydia or something?

00:44:42.000 Can I see this person?

00:44:43.000 I can show it to you after the fact.

00:44:45.000 Anyway, there's like a conflict at a college and he yells, but You're a white male!

00:44:50.000 You're effing a white male.

00:44:51.000 Yeah, you're an effing white male, and there's like a bunch of moments like that.

00:44:55.000 And that's where this fractured ideology was emboldened and empowered by these algorithms, broke into the mainstream.

00:45:02.000 We talked about it a few years ago, like, oh, these dang old college kids acting all crazy, huh?

00:45:06.000 Now they're in positions in government.

00:45:09.000 They are the real world.

00:45:10.000 They are the real world. Yeah, now they're in their 30s and they're running nonprofits and they're infecting so you're

00:45:15.000 so this is the first I'm hearing of the fact that you know, cuz obviously you

00:45:19.000 predate me by like just a couple years But still you've been in this game and you've been run now

00:45:23.000 you're running it you you're like, this is pretty crazy You're saying that the algorithms are almost what drove the intersectional push, which is kind of in line with the Bible scripture that says not that money is the root of all evil, but the love of money is at the root of all evil, which probably transcends multiple cultures.

00:45:42.000 But I believe the Bible is authoritative in that source in that you're saying that this is like Basically, very important.

00:45:49.000 They love money, so then they bring us this doctrine.

00:45:52.000 This doctrine moves in, it brings more money.

00:45:54.000 So all at the source of this is somebody saying, we're going to get rich off of effing over the entire country, let alone the whole world.

00:46:01.000 They don't look at it that way.

00:46:02.000 I think a lot of these people are ignorant.

00:46:03.000 Some of them know what they're doing.

00:46:04.000 There's a prominent site that collapsed recently in the past year or so.

00:46:08.000 When they started, they were a libertarian pro-Ron Paul website because that was really popular on the internet.

00:46:13.000 And then they realized when so it's not like some dude sitting in a room and he goes, here's a map of the algorithm.

00:46:20.000 Here's what we're going to do.

00:46:20.000 We're going to promote this stuff to make money.

00:46:22.000 What happens is they hire 10 people.

00:46:25.000 One guy writes intersectional stuff, one guy writes police brutality, one guy writes about science, and then all of a sudden they start realizing intersectionality does the best.

00:46:35.000 They're not looking at this person being like, okay, intersectionality articles are doing great.

00:46:39.000 What happens is they say, have you seen John's articles?

00:46:42.000 They're getting like a million views.

00:46:43.000 It's great.

00:46:44.000 Let's have him get a team together and hire some people.

00:46:48.000 John, an SJW, then hires more SJWs to make a unit.

00:46:51.000 That unit starts getting way more traffic and way more views.

00:46:54.000 And many of these companies did not actually realize what was happening.

00:46:58.000 Some of them did, and tried to capitalize on it, and it didn't work.

00:47:01.000 Because they tried telling people, we want you to write this, and the people would be like, I'm not writing that garbage!

00:47:07.000 And then it wouldn't work.

00:47:08.000 The companies that worked naturally just hired those who got the traffic, and this created a big bubble of empowered media personalities who were woke, far left, and now many of them have moved up in these companies, and now they're 30 or 34 or whatever, and now they're hiring young people who agree with them, and now the New York Times, for instance.

00:47:28.000 They were raised on their milk, basically.

00:47:30.000 You know, but that's what I'm seeing, you know, and the really interesting thing is about this whole intersectional push and this weird dogma is how quickly it's become mainstream, which is really interesting because, you know, I have a theory here.

00:47:43.000 People always ask, you know, people like Alex Jones or Milo Yiannopoulos or Laura Loomer, like, why did they get taken out?

00:47:49.000 Why did Gavin McGinnis get taken out?

00:47:51.000 And my theory is this.

00:47:54.000 I'm not calling them fringe, okay?

00:47:57.000 And some of these people are my friends, and so I'm not speaking poorly of them.

00:48:00.000 I'm just using the lefts, you know, using them as an example here.

00:48:05.000 They go, okay, these are the fringe guys on the right, and the left says that.

00:48:08.000 So if we can take these fringe guys out that we think are extreme in our matter, once you

00:48:15.000 take out the entire perimeter of the left's idea of extreme, it now makes the perimeter

00:48:20.000 of what's far right much more mainstream right.

00:48:24.000 And that being said is where people like myself then get called far right or extreme right

00:48:29.000 when I'm like, hey, I'm actually, you should know, and this is a common rhetoric, it's

00:48:35.000 like actually the far right really actually hates me.

00:48:39.000 Some of the biggest spammers and their stupid alt accounts and their avatars, they're not

00:48:45.000 even brave enough to have their own profile picture and yet they're going to save the

00:48:48.000 whole country from immigrants or whatever.

00:48:51.000 But obviously they hate me.

00:48:52.000 But what's weird is that as we've seen the perimeter keep getting taken off of the right,

00:48:57.000 so that now just the small sliver of the mainstream is now considered the furthest right,

00:49:01.000 we haven't seen that on the left.

00:49:03.000 And what's even weird is we've actually seen the glorification, the financing of the perimeter

00:49:09.000 to where the perimeter on the left keeps going further and further out.

00:49:12.000 So what used to be far left, actually just three, four years ago,

00:49:16.000 is actually pretty moderate.

00:49:17.000 And now you have people talking about the fact that, you know, I mean, realistically speaking,

00:49:22.000 they're saying that the army and the military is racist because any time a white man has command over a black man,

00:49:29.000 that's systemic racism.

00:49:31.000 And you're going, holy hell, do you not understand how the military even works?

00:49:35.000 These are voluntary recruits.

00:49:36.000 These people, if you know anything about the military people, they don't care about your sexual orientation, race, creed, color.

00:49:42.000 They're all about camaraderie and brotherhood, etc.

00:49:45.000 And so what I've seen is this weird intellectual warfare, where now the establishment or the

00:49:51.000 real mainstream right, we're all like essentially right-wing terrorists according to the

00:49:57.000 establishment media, and the left has this free pass to write articles that at some point I don't even

00:50:02.000 know if they're serious. Well, so this is where it gets funny. Alex Jones used to talk about

00:50:07.000 something, I could be getting this wrong, problem reaction solution.

00:50:12.000 It was something I used to see on the internet way back in the day.

00:50:14.000 The idea being that, you know, look, these Illuminati types, they're gonna create a problem, and then once the people react, they come in and they're the solution.

00:50:25.000 I just remember seeing that stuff on the internet and the libertarian web and the conspiracy stuff.

00:50:29.000 The idea being the government sparks the issue and then only they can solve it, vote for them.

00:50:34.000 They're literally posting that right now, the left, about Trump.

00:50:38.000 The left, Rachel Maddow for instance.

00:50:40.000 I mean, think about it.

00:50:42.000 There's a video from a group called Juice Media, it's Rap News, and I think this one is number six.

00:50:48.000 And it's about Julian Assange and Cablegate back in 2010, when they made this.

00:50:52.000 In their parody, they satire Alex Jones, saying, we've got to stop the rise of the commie Nazi fascists.

00:51:01.000 It's like one of the jokes in the video, and he talks about Hillary Clinton being evil.

00:51:05.000 Quite literally, he says, Hill Dog, your lies are blatant!

00:51:08.000 And he says, you know, the Nazi fascists are taking over.

00:51:11.000 That was Alex Jones.

00:51:12.000 That's how people viewed him in 2010.

00:51:16.000 Now, those same people who think that the fascists are coming, they like Hillary Clinton, or whatever, they're screaming that Donald Trump is creating the riots across the country so that you must vote for him.

00:51:31.000 They're literally pushing the old school internet conspiracy line about the government creating problems so only they can solve it.

00:51:38.000 The whole thing is...

00:51:41.000 It's weird.

00:51:43.000 You know what strikes me the weirdest is the fact that we constantly get accused of being exactly what the people are that are accusing us.

00:51:53.000 And I mean this very thoroughly speaking.

00:51:56.000 What people maybe don't know is I run a show called Slightly Offensive.

00:51:59.000 You can find it on YouTube.

00:52:01.000 It's just called Slightly Offensive.

00:52:03.000 And I focus a lot on getting my own proprietary content.

00:52:06.000 I think that a lot of people I don't do that anymore, and I don't mind, but I like to go out.

00:52:11.000 It's something I enjoy doing.

00:52:12.000 It's a crazy world that people in media still do what they enjoy.

00:52:14.000 But I go out and I capture a lot of my own footage at riots, at protests, at things, and I commentate on them.

00:52:20.000 And I have two separate parts.

00:52:22.000 On Twitter, I'm myself, Elijah Schaefer.

00:52:24.000 I try to stay unbiased.

00:52:25.000 I try to just give video reports for other news outlets, et cetera.

00:52:28.000 I license my footage.

00:52:30.000 But on my own show, we're gonna let the S-word hit the fan.

00:52:34.000 Gloves off.

00:52:34.000 Gloves are off.

00:52:35.000 We're gonna go for it.

00:52:36.000 But it's very kosher still.

00:52:38.000 It's very kosher.

00:52:38.000 I always say that it's about a 14 plus audience.

00:52:40.000 If you're 14 and older, you can watch it.

00:52:42.000 That being said, when I look at this, I can be using my own footage that I captured.

00:52:49.000 Meaning I'm not like a conspiracy theorist.

00:52:51.000 I'm not ripping footage.

00:52:52.000 I'm not manipulating it even.

00:52:53.000 You can't even say that I'm a propagandist.

00:52:55.000 This is my footage that I was there, that I risked my life to get.

00:52:58.000 And in many ways, I have risked my life to get this footage.

00:53:01.000 I'm pretty proud of that.

00:53:02.000 Meaning there are moments where I thought, I'm going to die.

00:53:06.000 And it wasn't so I can get clicks.

00:53:07.000 I'm going, but if America doesn't see this, if I don't run towards this, they're not going to see the truth.

00:53:13.000 And in my mind, I'm not, you know, it's not, no one's like, oh, it's not like a grift.

00:53:15.000 Like I, you know, if I get this, I get a million views because I have a wife, you know, I have a family.

00:53:20.000 My mom just died a couple months ago.

00:53:21.000 I can't let somebody else die in my family.

00:53:23.000 The family, my family's broken over this.

00:53:25.000 And so when I'm in these situations and these race riots, dealing with my own tragic death in my own family, I, You know, I've been married a couple years, taking care of my wife, and I see something happening and I'm going, I've got to run to that.

00:53:36.000 I am definitely thinking just this needs to come out to America.

00:53:40.000 And then I put that footage, oftentimes censored, to meet YouTube or big tech guidelines.

00:53:46.000 I keep my commentary kosher.

00:53:48.000 Anything that isn't censors, bleep it out.

00:53:50.000 We bleep it out so that it's just like normal broadcast television.

00:53:53.000 And then my video gets age-restricted, it gets taken down, my account gets throttled, they tell me I'm borderline, etc.

00:54:00.000 And I'm going, wait a second, my opinions aren't even partisan!

00:54:05.000 When I'm there and I look at the stuff that happened in Kenosha, the altercation between the young man and those other individuals, when I'm there and I filmed it, and I witnessed it, and the other angles are my friends, and we scoured over this footage, and we looked at it, and we came to a conclusion, That's actually journalism!

00:54:24.000 That's not just commentating.

00:54:25.000 That's not just editorial.

00:54:27.000 If I have four or five angles and individuals and we discussed and we talked and we come to a logical conclusion off of what we saw and where we were, why are we conspiracy theorists?

00:54:37.000 Why are we the ones that get discredited?

00:54:40.000 But yet journalists like the New York Times and Washington Post, the night of those events, which I'm going to be careful the way I word it because I know these algorithms, the way they try to pick up these words to just throw these streams off, When I was there and I watched that Twitter curates at the top of the feed, you know, here's what happened.

00:54:56.000 And it's from articles who had not yet contacted the journalists who were there, who did not quote us, who, from what I saw, were not on the ground in that moment.

00:55:05.000 It makes you wonder, it makes you wonder, are we really the extreme people?

00:55:10.000 Are we the conspiracy theorists?

00:55:11.000 Hold on.

00:55:12.000 We talked about this the other day.

00:55:14.000 Radicalization.

00:55:16.000 What does that mean?

00:55:16.000 Right?

00:55:17.000 People have become radical, right?

00:55:19.000 Brian Stelter recently was on C-SPAN and someone called in saying that CNN was the enemy of truth.

00:55:24.000 They've lied hundreds of thousands of times.

00:55:26.000 And then he says, well, you know, this year there's been a lot of radicalization against the media.

00:55:31.000 Okay.

00:55:31.000 Is it radical to want borders for your country?

00:55:35.000 No.

00:55:35.000 No, of course not.

00:55:36.000 It's the way it's always been.

00:55:38.000 Is it radical to want a strong military?

00:55:40.000 No, absolutely not.

00:55:41.000 It's literally the way it's always been.

00:55:42.000 Is it radical to want to lower unemployment and make sure that the people of your country have jobs before immigrants?

00:55:48.000 Sounds good to me.

00:55:48.000 That's actually the way it's always been.

00:55:50.000 It was only ten years ago the Democrats were for all of these things as well.

00:55:53.000 In fact, Bernie Sanders was for this only a few years ago.

00:55:57.000 They've gone so far off the rails that they're so far left now, they're looking at regular people screaming radical.

00:56:05.000 Quite literally like Brian Stelter.

00:56:07.000 And that's mainstream news.

00:56:08.000 So there's good news here.

00:56:09.000 I want to talk to you about the riots too, because that was actually really interesting what you were saying about what's going on.

00:56:13.000 Because I like ragging on the media.

00:56:15.000 So when I look at the far left and how far they've gone, I don't think they make up the majority of people, this fringe group.

00:56:25.000 I've heard it's 8%.

00:56:26.000 I've heard it's 8% of the left.

00:56:27.000 Yeah, the Hidden Tribes report says 8%.

00:56:29.000 It may be a little bit bigger because that was a couple years ago.

00:56:31.000 So I'm wondering if you've got... I'll do it this way.

00:56:35.000 You've got mainstream society and the left starts pulling further and further left.

00:56:39.000 It's possible that we get dragged or it breaks off.

00:56:43.000 If the far left moves so far left that regular people become confused by what they're doing, they become fringe weirdos.

00:56:48.000 And all of these big mainstream companies, and the NBA for instance, their ratings are in the gutter.

00:56:53.000 40% down.

00:56:53.000 You see this?

00:56:54.000 You know what, I have, and unfortunately for them, I've never watched them because It is a grift.

00:57:00.000 I mean these guys are they've always complained They're always getting hyper political making millions of dollars talking about they've not all of them.

00:57:06.000 Well, but okay Yes, not all of them, but I've seen that I I'm kind of anti elitist Like I don't like it's not that I'm against sports and I love I love all-american pastimes etc people.

00:57:15.000 I'm glad people have pastimes I just don't like it when wealthy people who live very comfy lifestyles lecture America.

00:57:21.000 I've never been comfortable for sure They're not working-class But what I'm seeing with this idea of getting woke going broke, it's not a universal law.

00:57:29.000 There have been movies that have been woke that have done really, really well, but they're not authoritarian woke for the most part, right?

00:57:34.000 The example I like to give is Into the Spider-Verse, where they have Miles Morales, Afro-Latino Spider-Man, and they don't make race the point of the story like these woke, crappy movies do that end up bombing.

00:57:46.000 So I think this intersectionalism, this weird cult-like behavior, is isolating.

00:57:51.000 It's making regular people say, I don't want to be a part of this, when they're forced into it.

00:57:55.000 And I think it's possible.

00:57:57.000 A lot of weak-willed people may just be like, whatever you say, and buy into it.

00:58:01.000 But I think America is built upon generations of defiant individuals.

00:58:07.000 I think about it this way.

00:58:08.000 Our culture is very individualist for a very simple reason.

00:58:12.000 The people who left the European countries to come here were, I would rather land a boat on an empty shoreline and just start foraging for food than deal with you.

00:58:24.000 And we're the descendants, not all of us, uh, you know, because part of my family didn't come here until the 19- actually, I think all my family didn't come here until the early 1900s, or the late 1890s.

00:58:31.000 But America is- is- has been culturally built off of those ideas, and they don't just go away.

00:58:37.000 So we are very staunch individualists.

00:58:39.000 I imagine most people are gonna say, leave me alone, or else.

00:58:43.000 So when you start getting the things you're talking about, where they're like, tell the world you're racist,

00:58:47.000 eventually people are gonna say, I'd rather go live in the woods and build a farm

00:58:51.000 than deal with you and your weirdo.

00:58:53.000 And they are.

00:58:54.000 And they are.

00:58:55.000 People are leaving the cities in droves.

00:58:57.000 I am from Los Angeles.

00:58:59.000 If people cannot tell from my slightly mixed voice that sounds slightly lispy, slightly homosexual,

00:59:06.000 and also valley girl together, that's what's called growing up in Los Angeles

00:59:11.000 and hanging around a lot of liberals, but thinking for yourself.

00:59:14.000 Where's the surfer dude in there?

00:59:16.000 The surfer dude was the pot I smoked for like a decade.

00:59:18.000 I mean, that's where I sit there and I get confused sometimes.

00:59:23.000 It's just a lot of pot, a lot of pot in just a few years.

00:59:27.000 But I will say this, being there, California people have their own way of

00:59:32.000 speaking.

00:59:32.000 I'm very much a California person in a lot of ways.

00:59:36.000 And I always found it really funny because there's this group of individuals who got really mad at me for... Do you know Jesse Lee Peterson is?

00:59:44.000 Yeah, of course.

00:59:45.000 Amazing how he goes, gay.

00:59:47.000 I just like the guy so funny.

00:59:49.000 He really is a funny guy.

00:59:50.000 I was on his show and he always asks questions in this dichotomy.

00:59:56.000 It's for entertainment purposes.

00:59:58.000 Do you love your wife or do you hate your wife or something?

01:00:00.000 And you're like, oh, that's a weird question.

01:00:02.000 But he goes, are you a conservative or are you a Republican conservative?

01:00:08.000 Which one?

01:00:09.000 It's not even like, hey, what's your political standing?

01:00:11.000 I said, you know, I'm a California conservative, which to people who live in California knows what that means.

01:00:15.000 It means I hold conservative values, but I also live around really interesting individuals, and I'm the minority, and I've learned how to work, operate, eat, drink, and be friends with people who think vehemently different than what I think about the world, and I'm okay with that.

01:00:30.000 It means nothing.

01:00:30.000 It's not a complicated saying.

01:00:32.000 It's just like, California conservatives always say that.

01:00:34.000 Yeah, respect that.

01:00:35.000 That's cool.

01:00:35.000 Yeah, I know.

01:00:36.000 But this group of people got super, super mad that I said this.

01:00:40.000 But I think that there's this whole part of America that is being ignored, where whether you would call it a respectable Democrat or a California conservative, there's this whole civil group, like the main swath of America, that is somehow being dejected from the conversation, like you said, about people being called extreme.

01:00:56.000 I've never been considered an extreme person.

01:00:59.000 I never in my life have considered my politics to be extreme.

01:01:02.000 You probably run into extreme people online too.

01:01:05.000 They're there.

01:01:06.000 And they exist.

01:01:07.000 And they have the right to exist.

01:01:08.000 I'm against censorship.

01:01:09.000 I think people have the right to be extreme as long as they're non-violent.

01:01:12.000 I think they have the right to have radical ideas.

01:01:14.000 Even communists.

01:01:16.000 Yes, I do.

01:01:17.000 Especially communists.

01:01:18.000 But I also think, too, that this idea of the extreme people kind of taking the narrative and batting it against each other, where I know the far right, and it's like 200 people that exist.

01:01:29.000 Oh, seriously.

01:01:29.000 And like six prominent ones, by the way.

01:01:31.000 This is like 200 main accounts that I know of that are far right.

01:01:35.000 And so it's really weird that when the left even says, oh, you're far right, I'm like, no, I know the far right.

01:01:40.000 That's like, I can literally tell you what it counts.

01:01:42.000 I wouldn't do it, but I could show you what accounts are far right.

01:01:45.000 There's only a few of them.

01:01:46.000 But because they have scapegoated us as that, I just have to be careful on the right that we're not forgetting that there's this whole swath of people that are feeling very much alienated and homeless from what they knew to be the Democratic Party.

01:02:01.000 And that's why I don't want to call it Republican.

01:02:03.000 I don't want to call it conservatism, because a lot of these people aren't conservative.

01:02:07.000 They think they are now though.

01:02:08.000 But the right wing, but see, that's why we have to be careful not calling them conservatives.

01:02:12.000 They're not conservative.

01:02:13.000 They're liberal.

01:02:14.000 But the right wing now includes, this is the weirdest thing, and this is where I'm going

01:02:17.000 to get so much.

01:02:19.000 Flack.

01:02:20.000 Yeah, flack for this from those weird anonymous accounts probably.

01:02:25.000 But I'm okay to say this, is that the right wing has become so umbrella inclusive that

01:02:30.000 it is now includes conservatives and liberals, even if people don't like that.

01:02:35.000 it's become the common sense Party, essentially.

01:02:38.000 I sat down with Glenn Beck and we disagreed on pro-life versus pro-choice.

01:02:42.000 At the end, we shook hands and said, hey, that was great.

01:02:45.000 Glad to have me.

01:02:46.000 And we disagree.

01:02:48.000 The exasperation was kind of funny because I was like, I really think the best way to put it is we have a different, there's an ethical barrier between us, but we recognize we should sit down and just keep talking to figure out each other's worldviews.

01:03:01.000 Yeah, but why mock the moderates?

01:03:03.000 And I think that's what I come down to is that I want to acknowledge that there's extremists on the left and the right.

01:03:08.000 It's just that the right-wing extremists are still fringe.

01:03:11.000 And that's the key thing.

01:03:12.000 They try to make it seem like those people that are right-wing establishment are fringe and extreme.

01:03:16.000 It's like, no, there are some right-wing extremists.

01:03:18.000 What I'm upset about is not the fact that you guys want to call out extreme right-wing people.

01:03:22.000 I'm mad that while calling out right-wing extreme people and talking about the negativity of who they are, You then put on a pedestal left-wing extremists.

01:03:30.000 Like if you're going to fight against extremism, you've got to be consistent because that's what,

01:03:35.000 that's what frustrates.

01:03:36.000 I think that the average individual and why more people are defecting towards, I wouldn't even call them

01:03:40.000 Republicans or right-wing, but they're becoming Trump supporters or America first.

01:03:44.000 They're getting behind the America first mentality.

01:03:46.000 You're looking at one.

01:03:47.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:03:48.000 Is it, is it, you're just going, I literally can tell you this.

01:03:51.000 I don't agree with everything on the right.

01:03:53.000 I may not be as the most conservative guy that lives, maybe in, you know, some, some South, Southern state

01:03:59.000 or whatever, but I can tell you that, that whatever this insane militant communist faction is that has hijacked

01:04:06.000 what they're calling the Democrat party.

01:04:08.000 And it's quickly seemingly becoming the establishment Democrat party is just detrimental.

01:04:13.000 It's toxic for the future of our country.

01:04:15.000 And I don't want any part in it.

01:04:17.000 You could not possibly have a more... So I'll put it this way.

01:04:20.000 Let me start over.

01:04:22.000 If you took the Democrats, and you looked at where they were in the last election, and then you take someone like AOC or any member of the squad, and you actually map their personal policy positions they've espoused, and their calls for unrest, like Ayanna Pressley, they are so far left, you can't even call it radicalization.

01:04:40.000 It's extremism.

01:04:43.000 It's like...

01:04:44.000 If AOC really is the new face of the party, which a lot of people have said, maybe she isn't, but she's got, you know, 8.5, whatever, million followers.

01:04:51.000 It's crazy.

01:04:52.000 I don't like that.

01:04:53.000 You go from a Joe Biden saying, you know, Barack Obama's administration, they called Obama the deporter-in-chief, because he deported so many people.

01:05:01.000 Now you've got Biden saying moratorium on deportations, decriminalizing border crossings.

01:05:06.000 I think Biden may have said that, I could be wrong about that.

01:05:08.000 But he's talking about a moratorium on deportations, and I'm like, that's a 180 from Obama.

01:05:13.000 They've convinced Biden to adopt radicalized positions.

01:05:17.000 So it's a fact.

01:05:19.000 And Joe Biden comes out recently and says, do I look like a radical socialist?

01:05:23.000 And I'm like, no, you look like a bumbling old man.

01:05:25.000 But you've come out in the debates with these insane fringe positions that nobody wants, except for a tiny fraction of screaming people.

01:05:32.000 Well, that's what's coming into mainstream politics.

01:05:34.000 But that's what strikes me as interesting because what I realize is this, and this is where I think I know why this has happened, okay?

01:05:41.000 Because what happens is that people lose touch with reality.

01:05:46.000 And I know this because when I watch influencers, right, and I watch people, I will see, and I talked to Ezra Levant at Rebel about this, about how a lot of influencers on the right get pulled towards extremism.

01:06:02.000 I'm going to make a point about the left here.

01:06:05.000 What the extreme fringe right does is they essentially try to make you seem like, hey, we're the real right.

01:06:11.000 We're the real cool people.

01:06:12.000 We're the Puritans.

01:06:13.000 We know what's really going on.

01:06:15.000 Without us, the country is effed.

01:06:17.000 And everybody else is a sellout and a fake.

01:06:20.000 And here's the thing.

01:06:21.000 We might have some weird ideas about certain races and people, but just listen to this.

01:06:26.000 Everybody else is selling out the country.

01:06:29.000 And if you really want to save it, you've got to come closer and closer to our ideology.

01:06:33.000 And then you share a couple ideas that might agree with what they agree with.

01:06:36.000 Because, I mean, take any random sample of people.

01:06:38.000 Anybody might agree with something you say.

01:06:40.000 And then they start getting mad that you don't agree with everything they agree with, because clearly some of their ideas are extremely toxic.

01:06:47.000 And then they demonize you.

01:06:49.000 So what happens is someone could have 200,000 followers on Twitter, but then they have 2,000 of these random accounts, multiple or run by the same person, flood their inbox, go on there.

01:07:00.000 If you're a small-minded person who's out of touch with reality, you think, Oh my gosh, everybody wants me to go towards these extreme ideas!

01:07:06.000 My base!

01:07:07.000 Right, they're bombing you.

01:07:08.000 You have 200,000 followers.

01:07:09.000 These are 2,000 people who you can look don't even follow you.

01:07:12.000 It's not even 1% even if they did follow you if you're following.

01:07:15.000 This is not who you should be listening to.

01:07:17.000 This is mob mentality.

01:07:18.000 These are extremists who are trying to push you into this cultic idea that what you're doing is somehow ruining the country unless you follow them.

01:07:27.000 Now, I know that, you know that, people who work on the right that are smart know that, or left, that extremists aren't the status quo.

01:07:34.000 But if you are easily manipulated, like Joe, somebody who's bumbling mentally, incapacitated in some ways, these people are dangerous in the fact that intellectually they will take advantage of you.

01:07:45.000 This is literally what's happened.

01:07:47.000 The Democratic Party, uses Twitter as their public opinion barometer.

01:07:52.000 So all of the fringe extremists on Twitter who will bombard one of these journalists or these politicians with crazy opinions, they think people must want this.

01:08:02.000 Exactly!

01:08:03.000 And regular people aren't on Twitter.

01:08:05.000 It's like 22% of the country is active on... No, no, I think it's less than that.

01:08:09.000 I think... I forgot what the number is.

01:08:11.000 You wanna know what... Let me put a better number on that.

01:08:13.000 I went on SocialBlade.

01:08:16.000 Just to see if like, oh, I grew a little bit or whatever.

01:08:18.000 It's this website.

01:08:20.000 This is not impressive.

01:08:20.000 I'm not boasting about this, but it said I'm like number 40,000 or whatever on Twitter.

01:08:24.000 And I'm not even very big.

01:08:26.000 So if you just took that swath of like 50,000 people that are like in the hundreds of thousands and verified to millions, that's 50,000 people out of a population of what, 350, 370?

01:08:34.000 328 or something.

01:08:35.000 Yeah, okay.

01:08:36.000 So over 300 million people, you're talking about like 50,000 people deciding the discourse Of the whole country.

01:08:43.000 Maybe take out half of those of people who probably don't engage politics online.

01:08:46.000 So like 25,000 people are literally creating the entire narrative for what's the whole country.

01:08:55.000 And I mean, not that I'm that influential or anything.

01:08:56.000 I'm just pointing out the fact that like 25,000 people out of 300 million plus sort of dictating what the news is, what goes on shows, et cetera.

01:09:04.000 That's less than 2%.

01:09:06.000 And when Donald Trump then invokes law and order, and regular life, regular people, just like normalcy, that's what they're trying to do with Biden.

01:09:16.000 That was one of the arguments, that Joe Biden invokes this idea of normalcy.

01:09:20.000 It's like, remember the Obama years when life was regular?

01:09:24.000 Vote for Biden, and it might work.

01:09:25.000 And they say Donald Trump's the cause of all of this, it's not true.

01:09:28.000 But Donald Trump says law and order, so you're getting that split.

01:09:30.000 Yeah, when you got fined for not getting medical insurance, like that was normal?

01:09:34.000 Yeah, yep.

01:09:36.000 So, you know, look, I think we'll see how this plays out, but the bigger issue, the bigger question I have, now that we're, you know, we're in the gist of it, let's talk about these riots.

01:09:45.000 Have you heard about what they're calling the Red Mirage?

01:09:48.000 No.

01:09:48.000 Did I mention that to you earlier?

01:09:49.000 No, you didn't.

01:09:49.000 So, what they're saying is that Donald Trump, the Democratic analytics firm said Trump will landslide on November 3rd.

01:09:56.000 Democrats said that.

01:09:57.000 And then over the next week, Biden will win because of mail-in voting.

01:10:00.000 Oh, I saw your tweet.

01:10:02.000 Yeah.

01:10:02.000 This is a tweet, right?

01:10:03.000 Well, I did a whole video about it.

01:10:04.000 Okay, I saw something on that.

01:10:06.000 And so this is a guarantee for disaster.

01:10:12.000 Because if on election night they say Donald Trump has won every state but California, Oregon, and Washington, people are going to be like, you did it.

01:10:23.000 Trump supporters are gonna say he did it.

01:10:25.000 And then a week later, they're gonna come back and go, oh, by the way, Biden actually won.

01:10:27.000 They're gonna be like, no, he didn't.

01:10:28.000 I saw it.

01:10:29.000 I watched.

01:10:30.000 They said Trump won.

01:10:31.000 They showed he had all the states.

01:10:33.000 There's no way.

01:10:33.000 This is not real.

01:10:34.000 The Biden supporters are gonna be like, you're not counting the votes properly.

01:10:37.000 Biden won.

01:10:38.000 And when both sides are adamant that they've won, what happens?

01:10:42.000 Okay, I'm gonna give, this is where I give my live stream addendums so that we don't get you busted here.

01:10:48.000 Uh, I never sponsor violence.

01:10:51.000 I don't promote violence.

01:10:52.000 Uh, whatever, yada yada, whatever else I have to say to not get fired or get this live stream taken off.

01:10:56.000 But, uh, you know, bringing into this...

01:11:00.000 We are in a clear factionary state.

01:11:02.000 We are there are two sides in a powder keg waiting for somebody to set off.

01:11:06.000 And I want to remind people how the Civil War started and how civil wars do start civil wars.

01:11:13.000 And we were talking about this earlier.

01:11:15.000 Aren't usually what people think where it's like, oh, everybody's blowing each other's brains out.

01:11:20.000 They're marching.

01:11:21.000 Red versus blue marching down the street.

01:11:22.000 Why do you think there's like, oh, this battle or there's a battle of Gettysburg?

01:11:26.000 Like, why do we have these like famous people or battle of Iwo Jima?

01:11:29.000 Like, why is there famous battles?

01:11:31.000 It's because war is strategy.

01:11:32.000 There's specific places and regions where you do your fighting is not to exhaust limited resources.

01:11:38.000 Especially because it's hard to get public and proper public backing to a civil war.

01:11:43.000 It's definitely something that I would say the majority of populists are usually opposed to in most times.

01:11:48.000 And no one wants war on their doorstep, especially a developed country of people who have seen it happen in other countries that we are fighting for democracy in.

01:11:57.000 But I will say this.

01:11:59.000 This, we are, and I will declare this here, I put my branding, slightly offensive, backing, I cannot put the blaze backing on this, but I put my branding, I think we are in a soft core civil war.

01:12:11.000 And I mean, you know the other type of hardcore soft core material.

01:12:14.000 I think we're in an overt civil war.

01:12:15.000 But I'm saying soft core, meaning like, to me, it's like, because, you know, I'm not gonna, listen to my wording here.

01:12:21.000 In the 80s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, someone would find a magazine, you know, a kid would find it of their parents or whatever and be like, whoa, what's going on there?

01:12:29.000 Then with the advent of the internet, we got all these weird categories of this kind of adult-like content.

01:12:39.000 People who once perhaps were excited.

01:12:42.000 I'm being good with my words.

01:12:43.000 Lydia's looking at me.

01:12:44.000 I'm being good.

01:12:46.000 I'm being careful about this.

01:12:47.000 We're perhaps excited by something very simple, something etc.

01:12:51.000 that's called softcore, are now deadened inside to the most atrocious and weird types of things the mind could think of in that regard.

01:12:59.000 And I think that's what we're seeing with this violence and this stuff.

01:13:02.000 of what I call myself a soft core civil war producer because we're kind of like producing

01:13:07.000 stuff that people are getting desensitized to this.

01:13:10.000 So it's like, oh, another person stabbed and shot.

01:13:14.000 This is okay.

01:13:15.000 Let's see something harder.

01:13:16.000 It's escalation and desensitization.

01:13:18.000 So we're soft core, meaning it's soft core because people are like it's it's it's people

01:13:21.000 are dead into the isolated incidents.

01:13:24.000 It's like, okay, another person shot, whatever.

01:13:26.000 No, I think Portland ends your softcore theory.

01:13:29.000 You think it's hardcore there?

01:13:31.000 I mean, they targeted him.

01:13:33.000 Yes, but the media has done a pretty good job at still lying to the masses.

01:13:37.000 It doesn't matter whether they're people who believe one thing or another.

01:13:40.000 What matters is a guy who's under investigation.

01:13:43.000 Jay, right?

01:13:44.000 He's his nickname, Jay?

01:13:44.000 No, no, no, I'm talking about the far leftist guy.

01:13:46.000 Who is accused of this, right now, under the assumption that we know who the guy is, the murderer, because they're investigating the guy.

01:13:53.000 He has a big Black Lives Matter tattoo on his neck.

01:13:56.000 He yelled, we got him right here, we got a couple right here, someone else says pull it out, right here, yeah.

01:14:01.000 Then Jay and the other guy turn around, the guy who dies pulls out, it appears to be that he pulls out Mace, and then takes two to the chest.

01:14:09.000 The friend of Jay, I think his name was Aaron Danielson, said that they were walking— No, I think Aaron Danielson's the victim.

01:14:15.000 His friend is Chandler Pappas.

01:14:16.000 They called—his name is Aaron J. Danielson.

01:14:18.000 They called him J. Oh, no, no, I know what I'm saying, but his friend was Chandler Pappas, right?

01:14:22.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:14:22.000 Well, I don't know the guy's name.

01:14:23.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:14:24.000 But his friend said that they turned around when they heard someone yell, we got them right here.

01:14:28.000 We got a couple right here.

01:14:29.000 Pull it out.

01:14:30.000 They turned around and this is before he knows what happened, two shots were fired, and then his friend staggered down and died.

01:14:36.000 At that point, it's... I mean, we're... it's almost... I mean, maybe it's not, but maybe it is.

01:14:42.000 The shot heard around the world that we've crossed into hot territory.

01:14:46.000 We've been seeing low-tier skirmishes, and we've been seeing resource battles for the past couple of years.

01:14:52.000 I was talking about civil war a few years ago, and a lot of people scoffed and laughed about it.

01:14:57.000 And then the things I predicted started to happen.

01:15:00.000 And then I talked about earlier this year that they'll show up to your house and then they showed up to Cassandra Fairbanks's house.

01:15:04.000 I did remember earlier on you were saying that and I didn't think you were lying.

01:15:07.000 I was just there in the midst of this and I remember hearing reports from people like you saying they're coming to the houses and I remember thinking in that moment like that's gonna be so weird when that happens and I didn't know it was gonna happen like now.

01:15:18.000 It's happening faster and faster and faster.

01:15:20.000 I didn't think so.

01:15:20.000 Following the death of the guy in Portland Antifa started making posts saying they need bulletproof vests and ballistic gear.

01:15:25.000 Yeah, they're getting financing!

01:15:27.000 Outside financing!

01:15:28.000 They really are!

01:15:28.000 Look, I'm gonna tell you this.

01:15:30.000 I have a company, which I'm not gonna plug on your show because I wouldn't want to plug my own sponsors, but I have a great armor company to sponsor my show.

01:15:37.000 And I see they're providing me all this stuff.

01:15:39.000 Ballistic, helmet, everything.

01:15:41.000 Conceal stuff.

01:15:42.000 Yeah, and I looked at the price tag that they're saving me from paying, and it's good quality stuff.

01:15:48.000 So this is not useless.

01:15:49.000 It's American-made stuff.

01:15:51.000 To buy 50, 40, you know, vests and helmets.

01:15:54.000 I mean, you're talking... It's like 600 bucks.

01:15:56.000 For like a low grade.

01:15:57.000 You're the tens of thousands of dollars for all this stuff.

01:16:00.000 Nobody that's there has tens of thousands of dollars to give away.

01:16:04.000 Who's funding this?

01:16:05.000 They raised $2 million for Jacob Blake.

01:16:08.000 They're launching GoFundMe fundraisers and GoFundMe allows it.

01:16:13.000 They're posting on Twitter their Venmo and their, you know, cash app or whatever, and they're getting money from random people online.

01:16:19.000 Probably a lot of people from outside the country too.

01:16:21.000 The point is not so much about financing because I think, and we'll definitely talk about Donald Trump's theory about, you hear what he's talking about the planes full of thugs?

01:16:29.000 He's right.

01:16:29.000 It's true.

01:16:30.000 Very interesting.

01:16:31.000 It's true, it's just the media doesn't want to take the honest assessment and interpret what he's actually talking about.

01:16:39.000 I'll just talk about this.

01:16:39.000 Donald Trump said that there are planes full of thugs in uniforms and that somebody saw this on a plane and they got very scared.

01:16:45.000 What the left imagines is a bunch of big dudes wearing military gear getting on a plane to go rough up the RNC.

01:16:52.000 What the person probably saw was a bunch of leftists with patches and BLM tattoos getting on a plane.

01:16:58.000 And that happens all the time.

01:17:01.000 I don't know if you see this, because you fly around a lot, right?

01:17:03.000 Look, I'll tell you this.

01:17:06.000 I try to be careful, because even when I film footage that is not debatable, good old articles and periodicals like The Intercept, very dishonest places, will do whatever they can to discredit you.

01:17:17.000 So I try to keep this stuff out of the air, but one thing now, do you know about these really incredible journalists that have risen out of these riots?

01:17:26.000 Like Kaylin Delmeda from Scriber, Drew from Lives Matter, I think you guys have them tomorrow.

01:17:32.000 There's Drew, George Ventura, Shelby Talcott, Richie McGinnis from The Daily Caller.

01:17:38.000 Andy Ngo, of course, everyone knows Andy Ngo.

01:17:40.000 These are just incredible people who are out there just exposing this stuff.

01:17:44.000 And one thing that a lot of them have mentioned is like when you fly out of major QLA airports like Los Angeles and you will have people on the plane like when I was going up to Sacramento or when I'm going up to Portland people are on your flight with helmets and stuff and they're not press.

01:18:00.000 Right.

01:18:01.000 Nobody brings helmets, black clad helmets and stuff.

01:18:04.000 I'm watching people and this is where the Kenosha stuff The police found out, right, that there was 44 different cities in the detainments and arrests.

01:18:11.000 175 arrests.

01:18:12.000 104, I believe, were from outside Kenosha.

01:18:14.000 I see the same people, and I know Drew will echo this, I see the same people at cities across the country.

01:18:20.000 And at least, but see, here's the point.

01:18:22.000 I'm openly admitting I'm not from those cities.

01:18:23.000 I'm not there to participate in the demonstrations.

01:18:25.000 I'm not being dishonest.

01:18:27.000 I'm being honest.

01:18:27.000 My intent is to go there and to capture the events, to put it up on Twitter so people can make their own judgment, create my own show.

01:18:33.000 So if people want my opinion, they go watch Slightly Offensive.

01:18:35.000 Whatever.

01:18:36.000 Do your thing.

01:18:37.000 But if you are getting on planes, I mean, you look at these people, they're professionals.

01:18:40.000 I think in Portland, it was Portland, one of the people was a Google engineer that got arrested.

01:18:46.000 We used to call these people the tourists.

01:18:49.000 Because we knew them.

01:18:50.000 We knew who they were.

01:18:52.000 So Trump brings this up, and the media and all these leftists are calling him a conspiracy theorist right now.

01:18:57.000 And I'm like, when Trump said that, I was like, and?

01:19:00.000 Because I used to fly, at the peak of my career covering this stuff on the ground, I flew about 1.7 times per week, if you did the actual math.

01:19:09.000 So just about twice per week, I was flying on some plane somewhere.

01:19:12.000 Were you like executive platinum or something?

01:19:14.000 Oh, definitely.

01:19:14.000 Yeah, of course.

01:19:15.000 Free upgrades to First Class?

01:19:16.000 Absolutely, always.

01:19:17.000 Oh yeah, that's the life.

01:19:17.000 Yep, I'd walk right in and be like, out of my way, First Class.

01:19:20.000 But I'd notice, you notice two things.

01:19:23.000 The journalists always bring in their tripods, and the far leftists go into the riot.

01:19:28.000 And I always thought it was funny.

01:19:29.000 Like when I'm flying to St.

01:19:30.000 Louis, I went to St.

01:19:32.000 Louis back and forth several times.

01:19:33.000 Oh, you'd see them in New York?

01:19:34.000 There'd be like four or five people wearing clothes with patches and symbols and marks all over their bags with like slogans or whatever.

01:19:42.000 And you're like, I know exactly what that person's going to do.

01:19:45.000 I always tell people though, it's not cheap.

01:19:47.000 I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

01:19:48.000 It's not expensive.

01:19:48.000 It is cheap.

01:19:49.000 Flying is not that expensive.

01:19:50.000 What about driving though?

01:19:51.000 Because, okay, you know- They drive too.

01:19:52.000 Do you know about the Antifa snack van?

01:19:54.000 Yes.

01:19:54.000 So the Antifa snack van, Savannah Hernandez from Action 7, she was in Portland about a few days earlier of the RNC speech with Trump, and she had recorded the snack van's tires being slashed.

01:20:07.000 People don't know what this is.

01:20:08.000 I remember that.

01:20:09.000 This is... Big white van, right?

01:20:11.000 This is a big white van that offers supplies to Antifa, varied supplies.

01:20:15.000 There's this weird thing at these riots where people love passing out snacks.

01:20:19.000 I don't know about you, but like...

01:20:21.000 I don't know.

01:20:22.000 I mean, like, Cheez-Its are good.

01:20:24.000 But, like, Cheez-Its paired with Molotov cocktails... There's better combinations.

01:20:28.000 There's better combinations!

01:20:29.000 Don't underestimate giving people food.

01:20:32.000 I mean, so... But snacks!

01:20:34.000 Isn't that so childish?

01:20:35.000 Like, here's a snack, Ryder!

01:20:37.000 You know the history of Gatorade?

01:20:39.000 Enlighten me.

01:20:40.000 So they used... It was the Florida Gators.

01:20:41.000 I could be getting this wrong, but I'll give you the gist of the idea.

01:20:44.000 They used to shoot pickle juice when they were playing sports because it's got electrolytes.

01:20:48.000 It's, you know, salty brine.

01:20:49.000 I love it.

01:20:50.000 They decided to make an actual drink that would help keep them hydrated and keep their electrolyte levels up.

01:20:57.000 People underestimate how much better you perform when you're properly fed and hydrated.

01:21:04.000 So when you see the Antifa going out and giving out energy drinks, they're literally fueling the unrest.

01:21:11.000 I don't know if you're gonna charge someone for handing out bags of Cheez-Its, but when people are running around and you give them food energy, you are ensuring it goes on longer, particularly if you're giving out drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks, or whatever.

01:21:24.000 I didn't, you know, and I think that's where the complicitness in a lot of these riots come from different factors.

01:21:30.000 And I want to bring this up, like, whether it's short distance, by the way, the point of the Antifa snack ban is it was in D.C.

01:21:35.000 a few days later, which is crazy.

01:21:36.000 They were in Kenosha.

01:21:37.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:21:39.000 But I'm saying, like, so you'll notice the same outfits, like a certain flag that was in Chicago that's in Kenosha.

01:21:44.000 That's more understandable.

01:21:45.000 OK, somebody drove from Chicago to Kenosha.

01:21:47.000 I did the same thing.

01:21:48.000 Let's not get too, you know, out there with these ideas.

01:21:51.000 Everyone's, you know, going across borders.

01:21:54.000 But what I did know is I do ask people.

01:21:57.000 Austin Fletcher, I mentioned him earlier, a really good creator, early in 2017-2016 used to ask people at the end of them complaining about Trump, famously, oh, who did you vote for?

01:22:07.000 And they would always be like, I didn't vote.

01:22:09.000 The new thing is, Oh, Jacob Blake!

01:22:11.000 I have multiple interviews.

01:22:12.000 There's so much unreleased footage on my channel and things I've been releasing recently because once you involve some sort of gun-related altercation, etc., everything else that you could post is not worth it at that point.

01:22:24.000 I understand as a journalist, it's just not worth posting random interviews.

01:22:26.000 You can upload the raw to an archive.

01:22:27.000 Yeah, I know, but at that point, I didn't upload a bunch.

01:22:29.000 I interviewed people and I'd ask them, they'd be like, you know, Jacob Blake got shot!

01:22:32.000 This is Kenosha!

01:22:33.000 This is our county!

01:22:34.000 And I'd be like, Where are you from?

01:22:37.000 Oh, I drove in from Missouri.

01:22:39.000 And you're like, well, look, I'm all for people that, you know, wanting justice.

01:22:48.000 Not that the situation is a case of justice or injustice.

01:22:51.000 I'm not going to comment on that.

01:22:52.000 According to the accounts of people involved, it looks like it was probably warranted, but I'm not the jury or the judge here.

01:22:57.000 But I will say this.

01:22:58.000 I'm going, this is a Monday night.

01:23:03.000 And I'm thinking, This is my job, so I'm here because this is my job.

01:23:09.000 Where do you work?

01:23:11.000 And, like, you know from traveling on trips, the costs do add up.

01:23:14.000 The hotels and food, etc.

01:23:17.000 Where are you staying, though?

01:23:19.000 Like, where are these people?

01:23:20.000 That's easy.

01:23:21.000 It's not expensive to do what they're doing.

01:23:23.000 But you say that as a guy who's established.

01:23:26.000 For a lot of people, $10 is a lot of money.

01:23:28.000 When I first got started, I had no income.

01:23:30.000 And I would just be like, hey, if you want to support my work, you can go to my WePay.

01:23:33.000 So it's crowdfunded anarchy.

01:23:36.000 But it's not just that.

01:23:38.000 I'd post a tweet.

01:23:39.000 Anybody got a place I could stay at in Los Angeles?

01:23:41.000 And I'd get 50 responses.

01:23:43.000 Yeah, people do message me.

01:23:45.000 By the way, thank you.

01:23:45.000 Someone offered me the other day for a brisket, but also even cooler.

01:23:49.000 They asked me to come over for brisket.

01:23:51.000 I wasn't in town.

01:23:52.000 I drank a beer on set with Stu Brigere, who's a host at Blaze.

01:23:58.000 And it turns out that the owner of the of the brewery, you're not going to know which one because you don't know what episode that was, is actually likes the right coverage in the show.

01:24:09.000 And now I'm going to go get some beers at the place.

01:24:11.000 But I get what you're saying is like the connections, people are passionate about this stuff and they want to support it.

01:24:16.000 So you're saying you don't think it's because I know people say it's like, oh, the open society, it's Soros.

01:24:20.000 You think it's more just now crowdfunded.

01:24:22.000 It's not even crowdfunded, it's social credit, social currency.

01:24:25.000 So I still know a lot of people who do this.

01:24:28.000 Easy tweet.

01:24:29.000 Anybody got a place I can stay?

01:24:30.000 Boom.

01:24:31.000 They have Facebook groups, they're well organized.

01:24:34.000 A lot of people are like, how are they paying for this?

01:24:37.000 Listen, man.

01:24:38.000 They say the same thing about me.

01:24:39.000 Who's funding Tim Pool?

01:24:40.000 Find out who his backer is.

01:24:41.000 And I'm like, no one.

01:24:43.000 I run a business with, you know, multiple revenue streams.

01:24:47.000 I fund myself.

01:24:48.000 I work for no one.

01:24:49.000 I have no deals with anybody else.

01:24:50.000 I sometimes mention that you can buy emergency food.

01:24:54.000 You work harder than most people, though.

01:24:55.000 Really, you put out too much content in a good way.

01:24:58.000 Well, so, these people can literally, because what I did, when I went to South by Southwest the first time in 2012, March, I just tweeted, anybody got a place I can stay?

01:25:06.000 And I had 50 offers.

01:25:07.000 And I crashed in a guest house.

01:25:09.000 It was like an Airbnb, essentially.

01:25:10.000 Someone's like, here's the keys, here you go.

01:25:13.000 Keep it up, man.

01:25:13.000 Good luck.

01:25:13.000 I'm like, thank you.

01:25:14.000 Yeah, well you know what, and that's why there's this, it's really interesting right now too, because I know that during the 2016 era, a lot of people rose to influence, where like, this is what I noticed, is that people came out of like 2016, there was this influencer, political influencers, where it was like, you don't exactly know why they're famous, but they have influence, and a lot of them have, I mean, I'm a married man, I'm not saying this inappropriately, you know, a lot of these are very good looking girls with very nice bodies that young men probably just like to follow, because men like to hear women that look good, Spouse their ideas on camera.

01:25:44.000 It's why Fox News hires a bunch of blonde women.

01:25:46.000 Right.

01:25:47.000 So it's like, you know, and there's nothing wrong with being hot and using your good looks to get ahead in life.

01:25:51.000 Hey, do what you got to do.

01:25:52.000 You know, but a lot of these people are just, I don't know what they do and I don't have an understanding, but a lot of, and you know, they're good looking.

01:25:59.000 That's my point.

01:25:59.000 But the people who are rising up during this election season are like myself, like these just like fugly guys who, who are like, Hey, I'll go try.

01:26:08.000 I'll go put myself to go get killed.

01:26:10.000 So you don't have to.

01:26:11.000 Well, I've been around for years, but I'm just saying, like, there's a lot of these, like, it's just, you know what I'm saying?

01:26:15.000 The people who are rising up now show you how serious it actually is.

01:26:18.000 Because you got, you raised up then because you were hot and you could bring attention and you were a little bit crass.

01:26:23.000 Now it's like, you're getting big because you're showing people, people getting shot.

01:26:27.000 Like BG on the scene.

01:26:28.000 You seen that journalist or whatever?

01:26:30.000 The guy went from like obscurity to like Twitter famous in a matter of like 45 days.

01:26:35.000 Do the work.

01:26:35.000 Because he's doing the work.

01:26:36.000 He's in the trenches.

01:26:37.000 Generals are made in the trenches.

01:26:39.000 Yeah, man.

01:26:39.000 Well, so going back to the point about the escalation and conflict and all this stuff.

01:26:43.000 Because we kind of deviated when I started talking about Trump's airplane full of people.

01:26:47.000 Hey, that's a good point.

01:26:48.000 What do you think is going to happen in the election?

01:26:51.000 We got the mail-in voting problem.

01:26:53.000 No one knows who's going to win.

01:26:55.000 There have been a bunch of scenarios proposed by high-profile individuals on the left.

01:26:59.000 The founder of MSNBC said he thinks that the House will give it to Trump, even though Biden wins, essentially, and that it's going to lead to chaos.

01:27:11.000 So this is a real emotional switch right here.

01:27:14.000 This is something that... I'm not a psychic, so please nobody in November clip this up to try to discredit me, but this is my real raw feelings.

01:27:26.000 I think the energy, the momentum, and the people are behind Donald Trump, and I think it's evident.

01:27:32.000 I mean, it was... Do you want to know something?

01:27:34.000 I agree with you.

01:27:35.000 I was at the acceptance speech for Biden, and...

01:27:39.000 I have a video that went viral of his own, there was only one supporter.

01:27:42.000 I saw that, one guy.

01:27:43.000 Yeah, and he goes, I'm the only guy here.

01:27:45.000 And everyone else was Trump supporters.

01:27:47.000 In his own home city of Wilmington, Delaware, he couldn't garner support.

01:27:52.000 And the rest of the people were screaming at Trump supporters for not wearing masks outside.

01:27:55.000 I was so shocked that, I know if this was a fair election, Donald Trump would win in a landslide.

01:28:02.000 And not because you love him or hate him, it's just very evident by what's going on.

01:28:08.000 Take a look at this image.

01:28:09.000 image. Sean Parnell says Joe Biden emerged from his basement and flew to Pittsburgh,

01:28:15.000 Pennsylvania on a private jet to speak to six people and take no questions from the press.

01:28:20.000 Outside, he drew a crowd of almost 100 people. Way to go, Joe. Legit home state enthusiasm.

01:28:26.000 It's his home state. This makes me sad.

01:28:28.000 Well, it's arguably his homestead.

01:28:29.000 I know he's, you know, Joe Biden's Delaware for the most part, but yeah, it's PA's supposed to be his state.

01:28:33.000 Look at this photo.

01:28:34.000 This shocked me to my core.

01:28:37.000 I wept when I saw this photo, Elijah.

01:28:39.000 I said, no!

01:28:40.000 Joe!

01:28:41.000 Literal tears.

01:28:41.000 I'm kidding, by the way.

01:28:43.000 No joke.

01:28:44.000 What?

01:28:44.000 It's insane.

01:28:45.000 You know what I noticed is that when he's doing interviews with Kamala, Kamala?

01:28:49.000 How do you say it?

01:28:50.000 Kamala.

01:28:52.000 Kamala can't fill half a high school gym, Harris.

01:28:54.000 You're racist if you say it wrong, by the way.

01:28:56.000 Kamala can't fill half a high school gym.

01:28:58.000 That's a true story.

01:28:59.000 I went to her rally.

01:29:00.000 She couldn't fill half a high school gym.

01:29:01.000 I'm telling you, pep rallies could fill more people than that.

01:29:05.000 But they were like, in these interviews, they're like 30 feet apart, her and Joe.

01:29:11.000 It makes me wonder.

01:29:12.000 It sounds weird.

01:29:13.000 Are they taped at different times?

01:29:14.000 Are they done with a split to allow timing?

01:29:17.000 Because I know how things work.

01:29:18.000 I work in editing.

01:29:19.000 The only way I could think that things are cut like this, other than pure insanity, Because if you want to talk about security, Trump is more hated than Joe.

01:29:29.000 And Trump doesn't have this kind of level of distance.

01:29:32.000 Why is it like that?

01:29:33.000 Do you see this video where Trump's signing autographs?

01:29:36.000 He's like patting people on the back and shaking hands.

01:29:39.000 He's a boss.

01:29:40.000 He didn't care.

01:29:41.000 He's a boss.

01:29:42.000 He drinks Coke and eats Big Macs.

01:29:44.000 What a cool guy.

01:29:44.000 You know why he does that though, right?

01:29:46.000 Because he likes good food.

01:29:48.000 Because he believes that Fast food chains have national standards and are less likely to get you sick.

01:29:56.000 And that he doesn't trust a random individual restaurant because he doesn't know what their standards are.

01:30:02.000 He knows the fast food restaurants have nationalized standards.

01:30:04.000 He's the only guy who eats drunk food and doesn't drink.

01:30:06.000 Right, exactly.

01:30:07.000 What a legend.

01:30:08.000 He's like, look guys, I'm going to be like a drunk guy at 2 a.m.

01:30:11.000 completely sober and owning the entire Far Left with just one bite.

01:30:15.000 And remember he ticked everybody off with buying McDonald's for that team.

01:30:20.000 I know, so weird.

01:30:21.000 Why would they get mad at that?

01:30:22.000 The team apparently loved it.

01:30:24.000 Those guys eat, like, stale Funyuns.

01:30:26.000 Like, you know what I mean?

01:30:27.000 Like, that's good for them.

01:30:29.000 Alright, I want to show you one more thing before we go to Super Chats, though.

01:30:32.000 Have you seen LeBron James' new shirt?

01:30:35.000 Can you read that for me?

01:30:38.000 I wish I didn't have to, but it says vote or die.

01:30:44.000 LeBron James, man.

01:30:46.000 This guy.

01:30:47.000 I'm sorry.

01:30:47.000 He's not smart.

01:30:49.000 You know, like his comments on China.

01:30:51.000 American dream, man.

01:30:52.000 Just get rich, not be smart and live in the best country in the world.

01:30:56.000 One of the best basketball players ever.

01:30:58.000 But I'm saying you don't have to be smart.

01:31:00.000 You just go around and throw around a little ball, hang out, make giant brand deals, and then just talk crud on your whole country that got you there.

01:31:07.000 But there are NBA players who are standing up for this country and, you know, are legit.

01:31:12.000 And I'm not saying they're necessarily smart, either.

01:31:14.000 Do they get airtime, though?

01:31:15.000 That's the question.

01:31:16.000 Well, you saw that dude who tore his ACL.

01:31:18.000 What was that guy's name?

01:31:18.000 Ah, you don't pay attention to sports.

01:31:20.000 I don't remember.

01:31:21.000 I don't remember.

01:31:21.000 I should, though, because that dude, he stood up for the flag and everything.

01:31:24.000 But anyway, look, I don't really care that much about LeBron.

01:31:27.000 I'm not trying to rag on him or anything like that, but he wore this shirt that said, vote or die.

01:31:31.000 I'd like to show you South Park.

01:31:32.000 This is South Park.

01:31:33.000 At least we know that unless it was Comedy Central, they're not gonna rip you because these guys still have a sense of humor.

01:31:38.000 This is a picture from South Park right here.

01:31:40.000 It's Puff Daddy.

01:31:40.000 He's holding up a shirt that says vote or die.

01:31:42.000 We can't show the video, huh?

01:31:43.000 No, no.

01:31:44.000 It's copyright.

01:31:44.000 Yeah, and they're all swearing.

01:31:45.000 Also, yeah, so much swearing.

01:31:46.000 And he's chasing around Stan and they're like shooting at him and stuff.

01:31:48.000 This is what we were watching earlier.

01:31:50.000 Yeah, it's hilarious.

01:31:51.000 I didn't even know the connection.

01:31:52.000 I was like, why are you watching?

01:31:53.000 It was so weird.

01:31:54.000 I like South Park, actually.

01:31:55.000 It's kind of weird because I'm a Christian and, you know, my mom, you know, rest in peace, she used to, because she was like, my dad's a pastor, my mom's a pastor's wife, so she would like hate, she used to hate South Park because it was like, you know, it was just a lot of like private jokes and things.

01:32:11.000 Well, it was.

01:32:11.000 It used to be like a show that didn't know what it was there for and Jew jokes and things that are just crass and the average person doesn't like and it's kind of, Just tasteful edgy, whatever but kids liked it.

01:32:21.000 It's weird how they've become like the most honest political Like I guess commentary show and it's a paper cartoon these guys have They're not even conservatives or anything have seen through the BS almost better than anyone and what a statement in 2020 That a guy named Tim Pool, who's not with a network, who funds himself and is not getting back-end money from some country, is having one of the most powerful voices, and even more slap in the face, is not just a guy on YouTube running a more successful business and getting more viewers than a network, by the way.

01:32:53.000 It really is true.

01:32:54.000 I mean, you get millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars in these terrible shows, and you're getting a better viewership, live viewership, than all these organizations, non-profits, etc.

01:33:02.000 But then it's like a step further.

01:33:04.000 It's like, well, maybe Tim Poole's just this guy in a beanie and he knows something.

01:33:07.000 But it's like, what if we just cut up some paper and manipulated it on our computer and it tells a truer story than multi-million dollar broadcast networks?

01:33:15.000 I mean, it doesn't matter if it's establishment.

01:33:20.000 It's just like, look at the technology behind it.

01:33:23.000 It's improved.

01:33:23.000 It's like they actually have animation programs now.

01:33:25.000 Sure, but if you watch the way they put the show together, the creators even say sometimes they're rendering it minutes before it airs.

01:33:31.000 They just don't care.

01:33:32.000 Yeah, they do it in real time.

01:33:33.000 I think.

01:33:34.000 I haven't watched any of the later episodes, but it's hilarious just to see that these shows like South Park and The Simpsons have predicted so much.

01:33:41.000 But it's so honest, and that's what I was gonna say about the show.

01:33:42.000 Like, she used to not like it, but then she warmed up to it.

01:33:45.000 My mom, she wouldn't watch it, by the way.

01:33:46.000 My mom, my mom, people that know her, she had a cult following, too.

01:33:49.000 She did not watch South Park.

01:33:50.000 But she understood when I'd show her, you know, parts about it, that it became, the humor stopped being, oh, I gotta make a racist joke, or I gotta make this kind of joke.

01:33:57.000 It was like, society's the joke.

01:33:59.000 Let's just look at society and look at how crazy it is.

01:34:02.000 And no longer humor's not, it's not edgy because it's crass or edgy because it's discriminatory.

01:34:07.000 It's just edgy because real life is just a freaking clown show.

01:34:12.000 Yep.

01:34:12.000 Do you know the... Who's the guy who wrote the thing?

01:34:16.000 Was it Kafka?

01:34:17.000 No, I don't think... What about the clown and the fire?

01:34:20.000 Oh, that I think was... I think it was... Who was that?

01:34:24.000 Goethe.

01:34:25.000 No, look it up, just Google it.

01:34:26.000 Yeah, I will, but I was... I'm trying to get some cred for myself here.

01:34:29.000 Yeah, I believe you were incorrect.

01:34:31.000 No.

01:34:32.000 Okay.

01:34:32.000 You were wrong.

01:34:33.000 All right, all right.

01:34:34.000 It's like, if I hear him, I'd be like, that's the guy.

01:34:36.000 Do you know the story about the clown?

01:34:37.000 Are we talking about Biden still, or who are we talking about?

01:34:39.000 It's the clown story, man.

01:34:40.000 It's a different story.

01:34:42.000 Clown comes out on stage because there's a fire breaking out backstage, and he starts screaming, everyone run, there's a fire.

01:34:46.000 They all start laughing.

01:34:48.000 He says, no, no, seriously, seriously, there's a fire, you guys get out, and they all start laughing even harder and harder.

01:34:52.000 And then like, I don't know.

01:34:53.000 I was wrong, and I, yeah.

01:34:55.000 Who is it?

01:34:55.000 Geez, I'm just doing great over here tonight.

01:34:58.000 Kierkegaard.

01:34:58.000 Kierkegaard, yeah.

01:34:59.000 Can you read the story?

01:35:01.000 Okay, so a fire broke out backstage in a theater.

01:35:03.000 The clown came out to warn the public.

01:35:05.000 They thought it was a great joke and applauded.

01:35:07.000 He repeated it.

01:35:08.000 The acclaim was even greater.

01:35:09.000 I think that's just how the world will come to an end.

01:35:12.000 To general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.

01:35:15.000 There it is.

01:35:16.000 Wow.

01:35:17.000 It's a, it's, listen man, LeBron James is wearing a vote or die shirt.

01:35:21.000 It's literally a joke from South Park.

01:35:23.000 Can I just, can I just say, I think we, I think in 2016, the sweet meteor of death actually came and wiped us all out and we all went to purgatory together.

01:35:30.000 So this was, this was before, this video on South Park was made before.

01:35:33.000 Yeah.

01:35:33.000 Like years ago, man.

01:35:35.000 Oh my.

01:35:37.000 You know, right.

01:35:38.000 That's the point.

01:35:38.000 LeBron James unironically wore a shirt where they were making fun of the idea a decade ago.

01:35:46.000 Like, I don't even know what this episode's from.

01:35:48.000 The YouTube video's from 2014.

01:35:49.000 LeBron's actually wearing vote or die?

01:35:51.000 What?

01:35:52.000 Dude.

01:35:54.000 You know what, man?

01:35:54.000 I'll tell you what.

01:35:56.000 I don't take it to a dark place.

01:35:58.000 You know, I have to talk about scary things.

01:35:59.000 Riots, man.

01:36:00.000 People are getting killed.

01:36:01.000 It's getting crazier and crazier.

01:36:02.000 And I laugh.

01:36:03.000 You know what I do?

01:36:04.000 Listen.

01:36:05.000 It's the way you've got to view the world.

01:36:07.000 You wake up in the morning, you might find that things are bad.

01:36:12.000 But if you always take it to a dark place, you'll never get ahead.

01:36:14.000 You've got to learn to laugh at the craziness.

01:36:16.000 And you've got to learn to respect the gifts you are given.

01:36:20.000 Because I'll tell you what, there's a lesson people have got to learn.

01:36:24.000 You right now, you've got it made.

01:36:27.000 You're one of the richest people in the world.

01:36:28.000 You know that?

01:36:30.000 Americans, this is a great country.

01:36:32.000 This is what I tell people, if you were buck naked in the middle of the woods, alone, that's you at zero.

01:36:39.000 If you're buck naked in the middle of the woods and you got a pointy stick, you got something.

01:36:43.000 You're doing better.

01:36:44.000 If you're buck naked in the middle of the woods and you got a cut and you're bleeding, now you're negative.

01:36:48.000 It's really, really hard for me to view anything as necessarily detrimental to me.

01:36:54.000 That's why I'm always like, if they banned me, I'm not gonna cry about it, I'm just gonna be like, I don't know, I guess, there it is.

01:36:59.000 I got my health, I got my skateboard, I got friends.

01:37:03.000 A good life, you know?

01:37:04.000 And I think that I want to point this out.

01:37:07.000 There's a really funny statement that a friend and I, we were just laughing together.

01:37:10.000 You know, you just have those good times.

01:37:11.000 You have some beers, hanging out, whatever, chilling.

01:37:14.000 Maybe it's an iced tea you prefer, whatever.

01:37:16.000 And, you know, I was joking.

01:37:19.000 I was going, you know, all these people want you to be this or that.

01:37:21.000 And they, you know, they rag on you.

01:37:22.000 Why don't you say this?

01:37:23.000 Why aren't you like that?

01:37:24.000 Well, you're just trying to be you.

01:37:25.000 And I go, you know, It's like, we were talking, there's nobody out there that

01:37:29.000 is talking crud, that is a hater, that is just completely trying to tear you down,

01:37:33.000 that has a life that I envy.

01:37:34.000 It's like every night, it's like ultimately, my wife is not just my wife, she's my best

01:37:39.000 friend, she's incredible, she really, and it's not just saying that, it's like, she's

01:37:43.000 so much fun to hang out with, she's my priority.

01:37:45.000 Is she good at video games?

01:37:48.000 She's good at Animal Crossing.

01:37:49.000 Oh, okay, that counts, alright, I'll accept it.

01:37:51.000 She's a pretty good island.

01:37:52.000 I'm not going to lie.

01:37:53.000 But I was going to say, you know, is that we're there.

01:37:56.000 We hang out every day when I come back from these rides.

01:37:58.000 I come home.

01:37:59.000 I have a woman who loves me.

01:38:01.000 I have a dwarf hamster who couldn't give a crap if I died tonight.

01:38:04.000 It's adorable.

01:38:06.000 But I feed him anyways.

01:38:07.000 His name is Gus.

01:38:07.000 He's morbidly obese and he might be racist.

01:38:10.000 Oh my gosh.

01:38:11.000 But I will.

01:38:13.000 That racist answer.

01:38:14.000 Yeah, but I will say this.

01:38:15.000 You know, but it's like, I have a great place.

01:38:16.000 We're thinking about having some kids.

01:38:18.000 It's like, there's no weird far left writing or anything that can take away the fact

01:38:23.000 that me and my wife love each other, that we have a good life.

01:38:25.000 And you know what?

01:38:26.000 We've been poor before.

01:38:27.000 We could be poor again.

01:38:28.000 She grew up in Africa with nothing.

01:38:29.000 I grew up near poverty with a dad who tried to start a church.

01:38:33.000 We grew up near gangs and everything.

01:38:34.000 I didn't know.

01:38:35.000 I live in a poor neighborhood of LA, which people don't know that LA can be very ghetto,

01:38:38.000 actually.

01:38:39.000 It can be very poor.

01:38:40.000 Even though it's America.

01:38:40.000 It can get very, very dangerous and bad.

01:38:42.000 And we've come from nothing.

01:38:43.000 And we've had nothing together.

01:38:45.000 And ultimately what makes us happy and what brings us together is just the fact

01:38:49.000 that we have a good outlook on life.

01:38:51.000 That we love God.

01:38:52.000 We love each other.

01:38:53.000 And we live to protect this country from people who want to destroy it.

01:38:55.000 And it's like, and in the end, you can shoot me with rubber bullets.

01:38:58.000 DHS, Department of Homeland Security, I'm just getting over an injury.

01:39:01.000 They broke my shin in Portland.

01:39:02.000 Really?

01:39:03.000 Yeah, they shot me point-blank with a canister rocket, like a gas-propelled canister.

01:39:07.000 It split open my shin, cracked my shin, and I fell to the ground.

01:39:10.000 It was really bad, and I was off the field for a few weeks.

01:39:13.000 But I'm back, and I've been positive through it all.

01:39:16.000 Gotta wear armor, bro.

01:39:16.000 No joke.

01:39:17.000 I didn't know shin guards were necessary at riots.

01:39:20.000 I mean, if you're consistently doing conflict, then the number one rule is never stand in between the police and the rioters.

01:39:27.000 Well, unfortunately, Portland is hard to do there.

01:39:31.000 Dude, try doing it in favelas in Brazil.

01:39:34.000 Well, one day I'll get to your level.

01:39:37.000 Oh no, I'm out of that.

01:39:39.000 I just sit in my... I'm a Tim Pond, not a Tim Pool.

01:39:43.000 One day my pond will widen into a pool.

01:39:45.000 There you go.

01:39:46.000 I just sit in my room and talk, you know, complain on the internet about my feelings now.

01:39:50.000 It became too dangerous.

01:39:51.000 I started getting harassed, starting getting death threats, and they recognized me, and then you reach a certain threshold, and I think you might run into that too.

01:39:57.000 I don't think it's safe now, but you know, Antifa treats me pretty fairly now.

01:40:02.000 They've given me two concussions, actually.

01:40:04.000 I've been hit in the head with like brass knuckle type things just back in January.

01:40:08.000 I have a dent in my skull.

01:40:09.000 They just came up there, they tried to rob my producer of his camera, and then they punched me in the back of the head.

01:40:15.000 And luckily I was wearing a bit of a bump cap, but they still hit and put a little dent in the back, cracked open my skull.

01:40:20.000 I've been in conflict with them, but most recently I've been straight up telling them I'm past the point of taking crap anymore.

01:40:27.000 Just in case you're watching, I will never attack anyone.

01:40:29.000 I'm a completely defensive person.

01:40:31.000 But if my life is in danger, I am now fully capable, without hinting on what that means, I am fully capable and surrounded by people to defend it.

01:40:38.000 And I do not operate out of a place of vulnerability anymore.

01:40:42.000 And they know that.

01:40:43.000 And they put alerts out.

01:40:44.000 And I'm telling you, if you're part of Antifa, if you're around these people, Elijah Schafer is not somebody you want to mess around with because even if you somehow took me out, you would be taken out very shortly after because of the people I'm surrounded with.

01:40:55.000 So that's just a statement.

01:40:56.000 Don't start fights.

01:40:57.000 Do not start fights with me.

01:40:58.000 Don't break the law.

01:40:58.000 Do not start fights with me.

01:41:00.000 Anybody.

01:41:01.000 Don't break the law.

01:41:01.000 But me particularly, don't try that.

01:41:03.000 Yeah, don't do it.

01:41:04.000 That's fair.

01:41:05.000 You know, at a certain point to be most effective, you can see that there are some people who just can't go on the ground anymore because they get targeted and it was happening to me and I was like, I don't want to be on the ground being the story with people running up to me and that's what was happening.

01:41:18.000 But I'm on a covert now.

01:41:19.000 Yeah, you like dress up like Antifa?

01:41:21.000 Sometimes I spend 250 bucks on a trip changing outfits and buying new clothes and sometimes in a day I'll change three times while covering things.

01:41:28.000 Wow.

01:41:29.000 That's hard.

01:41:29.000 Multiple armor, colors, covert, shirts.

01:41:32.000 I mean, I was going to stands, Black Lives Matter stand, buying clothing off the street just to change while I was out at Riot.

01:41:39.000 I just throw clothes in the trash while I'm out and buy stuff at stores, and I just change my appearance.

01:41:44.000 I have lots of glasses, etc.

01:41:46.000 And that's what it's come down to.

01:41:47.000 If you don't invest heavily in different appearances, they'll target you.

01:41:51.000 You've gotta look.

01:41:53.000 People know how you look.

01:41:54.000 It's a war game now.

01:41:55.000 It's a war game.

01:41:55.000 You have to treat it like you're a war reporter.

01:41:57.000 different things.

01:41:58.000 But, yeah, definitely.

01:41:59.000 I wear the same clothes every day.

01:42:00.000 It's a war game now.

01:42:01.000 It's a war game.

01:42:02.000 I mean, we, I, I, I, I, I, you have to treat it like you're a war reporter.

01:42:05.000 And I, and I, and I don't, I'm not flossing my tail.

01:42:07.000 Oh, conflict is conflict, bro.

01:42:08.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:42:09.000 It's not like, I'm not like going, I don't walk out like, like wearing like John Wick, like I'm going to come out.

01:42:14.000 It's just like, you realize that it's not just like the press aren't safe.

01:42:18.000 Anybody who's exposing the truth by name, you know, they want to kill your guest.

01:42:21.000 Is he coming to Monterey?

01:42:23.000 They literally are trying to kill him.

01:42:25.000 Of course.

01:42:26.000 Like murder this guy.

01:42:27.000 I've had them post pictures of my mom.

01:42:31.000 But it doesn't make sense because it's like, this is a guy just filming stuff.

01:42:35.000 Well, they don't want the truth getting out.

01:42:37.000 I hate these people.

01:42:38.000 They want to be able to propagandize and destroy with impunity, and journalism hurts that.

01:42:43.000 So journalists at big companies, they don't want to take the risk.

01:42:47.000 What, do these guys get paid 30, 40 grand at some of these garbage companies, and they're like, you want me to insult these guys?

01:42:52.000 I'll show up to my house and I'll attack?

01:42:53.000 And they agree with them, too.

01:42:55.000 Most of them do, I'd say.

01:42:56.000 Let's be fair, yeah.

01:42:57.000 Let's do Super Chats.

01:42:57.000 Yes.

01:42:58.000 All right.

01:42:59.000 So we got, this is from, where we at?

01:43:02.000 Dom D says, I've been talking about this since 2017.

01:43:05.000 I don't believe the moment Trump started is conservative.

01:43:08.000 It's just America first, where everyone can come together.

01:43:11.000 From my research, it feels like this is the last gasp of what caused the Civil War, mass division before peace.

01:43:17.000 So long as the lunatic racists don't win, I think that was our conversation about my California voice, which people love to make fun of, but I think is awesome.

01:43:27.000 Yeah, it is.

01:43:27.000 100%.

01:43:27.000 our elections was nothing but basement war using a VPN to cover the bathing suit area vids and zombied out trolling

01:43:33.000 Americans f I've no Idea what you're trying to say. I think that was our

01:43:37.000 conversation about California voice with people love to make fun of but I think is awesome

01:43:41.000 Yeah, it is hundred percent. I'll take it Matt rims coffin says journalism today is like the armchair anthropology of

01:43:46.000 the 19th century Have artifacts sent to you at home and use your imagination

01:43:50.000 to write the book you ever see one of the earliest drawings of an elephant

01:43:54.000 It was described to a guy and he drew this picture and it's hilarious

01:43:58.000 It's so funny. That's about right Yeah, and there's like, there's really funny images where they're like, if someone found a bat skeleton and didn't know what the bat was, here's what they would draw.

01:44:08.000 And it's a gigantic monster with big fingers, because they wouldn't know that there was wings.

01:44:12.000 You know what I mean?

01:44:13.000 Two little, just wings.

01:44:15.000 Yeah.

01:44:16.000 Very nice.

01:44:16.000 But the monster they drew was like, had huge fingers.

01:44:18.000 Well, we see that with dinosaurs too.

01:44:20.000 We have no idea how they looked.

01:44:21.000 Right, exactly.

01:44:22.000 That was, that was the point.

01:44:23.000 Yeah.

01:44:23.000 Are we in your super, this is, this is the weird part of, this is your super chats.

01:44:26.000 Here we go.

01:44:27.000 Yeah, here we go, babe.

01:44:28.000 All right.

01:44:29.000 Harold Cole says, from the mouth of a cop, you should check out Donut Operator's channel.

01:44:33.000 Thanks for what you do.

01:44:34.000 I have seen some of his videos.

01:44:35.000 He does a great job.

01:44:36.000 Yeah, good channel.

01:44:37.000 Good breakdowns.

01:44:38.000 Yeah.

01:44:39.000 Smart guy, yeah.

01:44:39.000 John Scow says, favorite political meme?

01:44:41.000 Mine is where it shows Bernie Sanders and it says, I am once again asking for your financial support.

01:44:45.000 That's a good one.

01:44:46.000 That's great.

01:44:47.000 I don't know if any of that's off my head.

01:44:48.000 Yeah.

01:44:49.000 What do you think?

01:44:50.000 I think that actually reminds me of living in California.

01:44:52.000 It was like, you know, they're proposing raising the state tax from like 13%, I think, up to 16% or 17%.

01:44:57.000 And they want to tax people who have been there within the past 10 years?

01:45:00.000 Yeah.

01:45:01.000 I just moved my company out.

01:45:03.000 Doesn't matter.

01:45:04.000 Too late.

01:45:04.000 I'm not paying that.

01:45:05.000 Welcome tyranny.

01:45:06.000 What are they going to do?

01:45:07.000 Are they going to send cops to Texas to get you?

01:45:10.000 Try me.

01:45:11.000 Do not come on my property.

01:45:12.000 Texas?

01:45:13.000 Yeah, man.

01:45:13.000 Good luck with that.

01:45:14.000 Mr. Scratch says, remember to vote to avoid the red mirage scenario Tim was talking about.

01:45:19.000 Trump needs a clear majority to win.

01:45:21.000 Don't get complacent.

01:45:22.000 That is a fact.

01:45:24.000 Jethna says, please invite Ethan VanSkyver as a guest.

01:45:27.000 He's an NJ and has crazy stories of dealing with SJW lunacy, currently making them cry because he's over a $1 million on a crowdfunded comic book.

01:45:34.000 He's a cancelled Republican.

01:45:36.000 I'm dying to see y'all chat.

01:45:37.000 See my email.

01:45:38.000 Uh, I don't know.

01:45:39.000 Send an email to spintheufo at gmail.com?

01:45:42.000 I'll look it up.

01:45:42.000 But I've heard his story vaguely.

01:45:43.000 Alright, let's see.

01:45:44.000 Colin says, at least Rosenbaum- No, I'm not gonna read that one.

01:45:47.000 That's gonna get in trouble.

01:45:49.000 Sean Lewis says, Joe Rogan's first day with Spotify and he already gets censored.

01:45:54.000 Spotify conveniently refused to upload certain people.

01:45:57.000 There was a list out there of said people and they all share something in common.

01:46:00.000 I've seen the list of Joe Rogan's Spotify uploads.

01:46:04.000 There's many, many shows that are missing.

01:46:07.000 I don't know anything about it, but I can say I believe this is true.

01:46:11.000 All of the podcasts will never stop existing.

01:46:13.000 They're not getting deleted or anything.

01:46:14.000 It's just Spotify is not going to be hosting specific podcasts, I guess.

01:46:17.000 Spotify has their favorites, and I mean, it's kind of sad, right?

01:46:21.000 I mean, he left YouTube.

01:46:22.000 People said it was because of the censorship, but it can't be why he left YouTube.

01:46:25.000 I think it was just a good deal, probably Spotify.

01:46:28.000 I think it's a great thing that he did by leaving because it's putting pressure on YouTube at this competition.

01:46:33.000 I mean, there's still Alphabet has holdings.

01:46:35.000 I don't know to what degree if it's the majority or whatever of Spotify.

01:46:38.000 But with Rogan now going to Spotify, it puts YouTube in a weakened position where Spotify is open for business.

01:46:44.000 You've got a successful podcast on the platform.

01:46:46.000 I mean, his show was big on YouTube.

01:46:47.000 You're on Spotify, right?

01:46:49.000 Yeah.

01:46:49.000 Not video, though.

01:46:50.000 I know, because I was gonna say, my podcast is on audio as well there, and I just feel like the numbers aren't there, though, compared to YouTube.

01:46:57.000 I feel like there's such higher numbers on YouTube.

01:46:59.000 Podcast network is very different.

01:47:03.000 But I didn't notice this.

01:47:04.000 From the audio, people listen longer than people watch.

01:47:07.000 So if you put a two-hour podcast on Spotify, half the people listen to the whole thing, and then 20% of the people listen to the whole thing on YouTube.

01:47:14.000 So it's got a good retention rate.

01:47:15.000 Yep, and that's why it's worth more money.

01:47:18.000 All right, let's see, where are we at?

01:47:20.000 Vesidious says, heard about a New York Times article from Steve Deese yesterday about a fault in our PCR test.

01:47:26.000 The issue is that 90% of the people who tested positive barely had any virus.

01:47:30.000 The test was calibrated to be overly sensitive.

01:47:32.000 Long scientific explanation.

01:47:33.000 I heard something about that.

01:47:35.000 Justin Four says, when Rittenhouse's charges are dropped, the defamation lawsuits begin.

01:47:39.000 Sean King's career experience will be beneficial to him when he goes broke and has to beg for money.

01:47:44.000 We'll see how it plays out.

01:47:46.000 Cohen Andrews says, Elijah was in the Chazz.

01:47:48.000 Massive amount of respect for Slightly Offensive.

01:47:50.000 I watched him on Crowder.

01:47:52.000 Love and appreciate what both of you do.

01:47:54.000 Yeah, I thought it was convenient because we wanted people who were on the ground.

01:47:59.000 Because, you know, look, I don't go on the ground anymore.

01:48:00.000 It's just a reality.

01:48:01.000 I'm looking at your Twitter videos and using your reporting for a lot of my work, so that'd be great to have you on.

01:48:07.000 Yeah, and maybe we'll connect one time in the future, too.

01:48:10.000 I got to get you guys out to Texas.

01:48:12.000 I really do.

01:48:13.000 You guys gotta come out.

01:48:15.000 One time you'll come out there, though.

01:48:16.000 I'll get you guys out there, but also if you ever get a new studio or something, maybe I'll be back out here in a year or so.

01:48:22.000 Heck yeah, man.

01:48:23.000 We'll talk.

01:48:23.000 We got one from Shannon Schaefer.

01:48:25.000 I saw on FB that someone said that if you type antifa.com to a browser, it will go to Joe Biden's campaign website.

01:48:30.000 He is a troll.

01:48:31.000 Yeah, it's a troll.

01:48:32.000 People, wait, can I just say that?

01:48:33.000 People are really concerned, and you have to learn humor.

01:48:36.000 Like, when you go like, Antifa.com goes to Biden, or like, if you... Anyone can just do that.

01:48:40.000 It's not hard.

01:48:41.000 Right.

01:48:41.000 It's not... It's supposed to be funny, not scary.

01:48:43.000 I mean, somebody bought Antifa.com, which is probably expensive.

01:48:47.000 Oh my gosh, maybe it wasn't, and they're gonna now have, like, I want that.

01:48:51.000 I want that to be my website.

01:48:53.000 I know, right?

01:48:54.000 They said, I did do that, which did go directly to the campaign website.

01:48:58.000 I looked at the bottom of the website and saw that it was endorsed by Biden.

01:49:00.000 Thoughts?

01:49:01.000 You can buy any domain, any domain, and automatically redirect to any other website.

01:49:07.000 Mr. Tumnus says, the White Fragility audiobook is on YouTube.

01:49:11.000 It's six hours long and tough to listen to.

01:49:13.000 Oh man.

01:49:14.000 Yeah, I can imagine.

01:49:16.000 Alright, let's see.

01:49:17.000 Then they weren't your friends to begin with.

01:49:19.000 Tim and Elijah, cheers from a National Guardsman working on the COVID task force in Michigan.

01:49:23.000 Unfortunately, I've recently lost a few friends due to my Army career.

01:49:26.000 I've always considered myself a regular person, but that's unacceptable for them.

01:49:30.000 Then they weren't your friends to begin with.

01:49:31.000 I've got a good friend who is, I guess you'd just say like a normie.

01:49:37.000 But they post all the SJW stuff, the Black Lives Matter stuff.

01:49:40.000 I have a few of those friends too.

01:49:41.000 Vote for Biden.

01:49:42.000 And when I said I'm probably going to be voting for Trump, they were like, I trust that you've

01:49:46.000 done your research and you have your reasons and I'm disappointed, but we'll talk about

01:49:50.000 it.

01:49:51.000 And I'm like, yeah, for sure.

01:49:52.000 Disappointed in you too.

01:49:53.000 But that's a real friend.

01:49:54.000 Someone who's like, I trust you and I think you're smart and you know what you're doing but, you know, I disagree.

01:50:01.000 But we're still friends.

01:50:02.000 I wouldn't have friends that are disappointed in me for my voting because if they're my friend then they should know that I don't give a crud about people's feelings about what I vote for.

01:50:11.000 It's like, I'm sorry dude, if you're gonna tell me that you're disappointed, I know what you're saying though too, I have friends too that are like, me and my friends do not talk about who we're voting for, we just live our lives authentically and that should show what you're voting for.

01:50:23.000 No, I think this is good because the response was, we should talk about it.

01:50:25.000 And I said, absolutely.

01:50:26.000 And I'm confident I convinced them.

01:50:28.000 Are they one of those people that's really not involved in the political side of social media?

01:50:31.000 Absolutely.

01:50:32.000 Yeah.

01:50:33.000 None whatsoever.

01:50:33.000 Don't you love those people?

01:50:34.000 They keep you grounded.

01:50:35.000 They're refreshing.

01:50:36.000 But they're inundated by TV and all the big companies.

01:50:40.000 Cut the cord.

01:50:41.000 So they're posting things.

01:50:42.000 They hate Trump, Trump derangement, all that stuff.

01:50:45.000 But they're not politically active.

01:50:47.000 So they have these generic, normie, default liberal opinions they've seen from the TV.

01:50:53.000 So when they say to me, you know, I'm disappointed but we should talk about it, what that says is for one, they're actually my friend and they want to talk with me because even if they're of the opinion I shouldn't vote for Trump and they're actively trying to help me, I respect that.

01:51:06.000 This is something I talked about, you know, because I'm not religious.

01:51:09.000 When people would say things like, I'm praying for you, My response is like, I really appreciate that.

01:51:14.000 Bill Maher said something like this.

01:51:16.000 He's an atheist.

01:51:17.000 When people would say, I'm praying for you, he said, that means a lot to me because it says that you're willing to do something because you're trying to save me, you want to help me.

01:51:24.000 I respect that.

01:51:25.000 Even though he doesn't believe it'll do anything, it's someone actually saying I want to try and help you in some way that I can.

01:51:31.000 And so I respect it.

01:51:32.000 Somebody to tell me that they don't like Trump and they want to talk to me about it, says a lot to me.

01:51:35.000 Because there are a lot of people who just explode and go nuts and post insane things.

01:51:39.000 And I'm like, we were never really friends if you wouldn't want to just talk to me about what's going on in this country.

01:51:43.000 And you think that I would just willy-nilly choose these things.

01:51:47.000 But the remarkable thing about a lot of these people I know who have gone full SJW and are screeching into the wind, they don't read any news.

01:51:53.000 They just see memes from, like, Occupy Democrats.

01:51:55.000 And, like, TikTok, like, 15-second videos that describe things in extremely reductionist ways.

01:52:02.000 Exactly.

01:52:03.000 All right, let's see what we got here.

01:52:07.000 Leor Engelstein says, Tim Pool is hipster Ben Shapiro and you can't convince me otherwise.

01:52:12.000 You guys do talk similarly!

01:52:13.000 I was gonna say... Did you... Okay, hold up.

01:52:16.000 Because these are both people you know, and I know... I have not met... You've been on Joe.

01:52:21.000 You and Joe are friends, right, Rogan?

01:52:23.000 I would say, yeah, I guess I talk to him relatively often.

01:52:26.000 There's this YouTuber that recreated Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro on.

01:52:30.000 I was dying because he goes, Joe's like, they did a pretty good Joe impersonation, like, yeah, Ben.

01:52:38.000 So I think we should give all of our kids just like a bow and arrow and put them out in the wilderness.

01:52:45.000 And Ben Shapiro goes, well, if you go to my website right now, you go to cashforgold.com, talk to Ben, that's C-A-S-H, and he goes, and Joe's like, Are you seriously plugging your sponsor on my show?

01:52:56.000 Yeah, if you go to Cash for Gold, and he starts, he doesn't even know he's speaking, he just literally starts going... So, Joe's actually hard to do an impersonation of.

01:53:05.000 There's like a really funny video about Joe Rogan having a chimp on his show.

01:53:09.000 I forgot what the channel's called, but you can look it up, and it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

01:53:14.000 He's like sitting there, and he's like, I'm so excited to have you on, and there's a chimp just going like...

01:53:19.000 And then he's like, he's smoking a bong and he goes, that's crazy.

01:53:23.000 And the chimp is just like, ah, ah, screaming.

01:53:27.000 But I was watching that and I was like, I'm not trying to be mean, it's a really, really, really great video.

01:53:31.000 It's hilarious, I laughed, I was laughing my ass off.

01:53:34.000 But I'm like, it's really hard to do an impersonation of Joe Rogan.

01:53:38.000 It's really easy.

01:53:40.000 But I was going to say, but it's easy with Ben.

01:53:42.000 Ben's easy.

01:53:43.000 But I think the wording, like I think in that same video, they're like, hey, I think we're going to try to set the record for talking about elk meat the fastest in this episode and in any episode.

01:53:52.000 But then Ben Shepard just goes, hey, listen, listen, Ben.

01:53:54.000 And he keeps plugging his own advertisement.

01:53:55.000 All right.

01:53:56.000 Yeah, that's cool.

01:53:56.000 But have you checked out Cash for Gold?

01:53:58.000 So the cartoon that Tim is talking about is from a channel called Flash Kids.

01:54:03.000 Yes, that's what I thought it was.

01:54:04.000 So Lior also says, can you link the polls and studies that you source on your YouTube videos?

01:54:09.000 Thank you for your awesome work.

01:54:11.000 A lot of times I'm just pulling it off the top of my head because I've read them before and I don't have them in every single video.

01:54:16.000 This is actually a challenge in producing so much content.

01:54:19.000 People will be like, man, Tim sure does say the same thing in a lot of his videos.

01:54:22.000 And I'm like, but it's because someone who watches this video didn't watch that video.

01:54:26.000 Right.

01:54:26.000 And so if I don't mention it, the context is excluded.

01:54:29.000 Right.

01:54:30.000 But you are a content machine.

01:54:32.000 This house is a content machine.

01:54:35.000 The studio, everything you do is a content machine because, honestly speaking, you produce about as much daily content as a network does.

01:54:44.000 I'm not even joking.

01:54:44.000 I mean, I'm not talking about your own show.

01:54:46.000 I mean, I know that you, I understand what you're doing.

01:54:49.000 I do 24 hours.

01:54:49.000 I do six.

01:54:50.000 Well, on all your channels though?

01:54:52.000 Yeah, six hours.

01:54:53.000 Yeah, yeah, I'm saying, but that's still, I mean a lot of online networks,

01:54:56.000 when you really put together what they put out, just like social clips and stuff,

01:54:59.000 it is pretty remarkable, because you don't drink or anything, do you?

01:55:03.000 You just focus on work.

01:55:05.000 So you just grind.

01:55:07.000 Which is like, a lot of young guys are probably listening, they're thinking, why am I not getting ahead

01:55:10.000 while they're just smoking pot and drinking, which by the way, it's America,

01:55:13.000 if you occasionally want to smoke pot or whatever, you do you, figure out your own life and a balance.

01:55:18.000 But like, you really, a lot of people that complain about not getting ahead,

01:55:21.000 they're actually more lazy than they think.

01:55:23.000 They want to receive benefit without putting in the grind, and they go, well, Tim Pool is a big audience,

01:55:28.000 and blah, blah, blah.

01:55:29.000 It's like, no, you've been putting in, people put in the grind before the audience comes,

01:55:32.000 and the audience and the recognition comes because you put it in when nobody's watching.

01:55:36.000 Yeah.

01:55:37.000 I was inspired by someone who told me that they produced content every single day, no matter what, with no days off.

01:55:42.000 And so I said, then I will do that.

01:55:45.000 And so I started making one video per day, every day, no matter what.

01:55:49.000 And if it meant that I didn't know what I was doing, I just had to like sit there and grind as hard as possible to figure something out.

01:55:54.000 And sometimes it was kind of bad, sometimes it was kind of good.

01:55:56.000 And then once I got the role, once I started just getting that down perfectly, I was like, I could easily do a couple more.

01:56:03.000 And so now I'm at, you know, so there's of original content minutes, about 3 hours and 40 or so minutes, in terms of maximum total content, it's about 6 hours.

01:56:15.000 So how it works is, there's 2 hour live, there's 1 hour and 40 minutes of recorded segments throughout the day, and then the 2 hour live is broken up into individual segments.

01:56:24.000 So the total output is 6 hours, a little redundant, so it comes down to around 4.

01:56:30.000 I'll get there one day.

01:56:31.000 I'll give you a call Tim.

01:56:32.000 Once I say hey Tim, I don't think I can go out in the field anymore.

01:56:35.000 I'm going to call you and you're going to give me some tips on how to pump out that much content.

01:56:38.000 It's called just work hard, exercise.

01:56:41.000 A one-page book.

01:56:42.000 Work hard.

01:56:43.000 Thanks, Tim.

01:56:43.000 I exercise almost every day when I can and it's skateboarding.

01:56:48.000 It's pretty intense.

01:56:49.000 I'm like literally drenched.

01:56:51.000 Rides are my exercise.

01:56:52.000 I literally, I just run around three or four days a week.

01:56:54.000 I'm like running around like, yeah, just running around dripped in sweat for like six, seven hours.

01:56:58.000 And that's my whole exercise.

01:56:59.000 Wow.

01:56:59.000 Yeah.

01:57:00.000 When I, when I first started covering this stuff, I've been skateboarding my whole life.

01:57:03.000 You're pretty good.

01:57:04.000 Oh yeah.

01:57:05.000 People that, people maybe that follow you closely would know that, but I've watched you guys out there.

01:57:10.000 You guys are, you guys are ripping it on the skate park.

01:57:12.000 Yeah.

01:57:13.000 I don't, I don't, I don't know what I, what I did substantial today.

01:57:15.000 Cause I was kind of just horsing around.

01:57:16.000 Did you do a tray flip at one point?

01:57:18.000 Yeah.

01:57:18.000 First try.

01:57:19.000 Yeah.

01:57:19.000 I saw.

01:57:20.000 That's kind of hard.

01:57:22.000 I never did one successfully.

01:57:23.000 Oh, easy, dude.

01:57:24.000 I did switch.

01:57:26.000 Switch hardflip.

01:57:26.000 Good on you, man.

01:57:28.000 I was trying to do a switch hardflip late 180, and I accidentally did a switch hardflip late frontside flip 90 degrees.

01:57:35.000 And then we all started laughing.

01:57:36.000 I was like, I wasn't trying to do that.

01:57:37.000 That would be crazy if I did.

01:57:38.000 But that's a particularly difficult trick.

01:57:40.000 I can do a bunch of late flips and all the crazy stuff.

01:57:43.000 But it's not so much about being good at skateboarding.

01:57:45.000 I skate every day just to stay active, make sure I'm getting exercise.

01:57:48.000 When I first started covering all the riots, the one advantage I had over all of the other journalists was that I could run.

01:57:55.000 As far as I could tell, I never reached a point where I would get tired running.

01:57:59.000 So the riots are breaking out, and I'm running full speed, I'm ducking, I'm weaving, I'm rolling, and I'm just not tired.

01:58:04.000 I'm like, this is nothing compared to jumping off a building and slamming your face into concrete.

01:58:08.000 I'm just walking down the street.

01:58:10.000 So I remember there was one protest I was covering, it was one of the Trayvon Martin protests, and we walked literally the entire length of Manhattan.

01:58:17.000 Just like the whole way.

01:58:18.000 And I'm like, I gotta hand it to the protesters, man.

01:58:20.000 I'm impressed they walked that far.

01:58:22.000 Because I was tired by the end of that.

01:58:23.000 Miles and miles.

01:58:24.000 People don't realize how much... How many miles is that?

01:58:27.000 Like 30 miles?

01:58:27.000 Well, you know what the worst part was in Kenosha?

01:58:30.000 Was that they put the city curfew.

01:58:31.000 So we had to drive like 30-40 minutes out of the county to just get McDonald's.

01:58:36.000 And people don't realize that at these things sometimes you like... What's healthy to me is taking one of the breads off each of my double cheeseburgers.

01:58:43.000 Like, that's why people, people will talk, will talk like people like, Oh, you gain some weight doing this.

01:58:48.000 I go, dude, you know, what sucks is it's three in the morning and you have two options, McDonald's limited menu or Burger King limited menu.

01:58:56.000 And unfortunately, after you've been running around, you know, you're not going to eat a salad and, and it does tax you and it wears you out.

01:59:04.000 I remember when I covered the collapse of Occupy Wall Street, when the police came in, I did a livestream for 22 hours straight.

01:59:12.000 Holy, what?

01:59:13.000 Yeah.

01:59:14.000 And so people were running and buying batteries and running them to me when I was like, well, my phone's about to die.

01:59:19.000 Then people in the chat would be like, get him a battery!

01:59:21.000 And they'd run to the store, buy a battery.

01:59:22.000 And I got three batteries that day from people running up to me, finding me from the stream, and being like, here's the battery!

01:59:27.000 I'm like, yes!

01:59:28.000 And I'd plug it in.

01:59:29.000 But then eventually, I was holding an umbrella because it was raining, and I couldn't move my hand anymore.

01:59:33.000 And so then I was like, oh man, I need a banana.

01:59:35.000 And then people ran and found me and gave me bananas and like smoothies and stuff.

01:59:40.000 You do start to shake and stuff.

01:59:41.000 And I think a lot of these people, and I'll tell you this, because you know this, a lot of these journalists I mentioned earlier, like George and Kaelin and Drew and stuff, and Andy, you can see how they've aged from this.

01:59:54.000 I'm 27 years old, but like you see right when I got into this, I had bleached blonde hair.

01:59:59.000 I had a nose ring.

02:00:01.000 You were all ripped and chiseled and sparkling teeth.

02:00:03.000 I actually had a six pack.

02:00:05.000 And I was in pretty good, I was in some of the best shape of my life.

02:00:09.000 Like, not a lot, but benching like 250, whatever, doing pretty good.

02:00:13.000 And now I am like Leonardo DiCaprio, dad bod.

02:00:17.000 No, I'm not that bad.

02:00:18.000 But like, meaning I am not in the best shape of my life.

02:00:21.000 And I try.

02:00:22.000 I still go to the gym.

02:00:22.000 Everything.

02:00:23.000 I'm trying to exercise.

02:00:24.000 But it's like when you get your shin busted out by DHS and you're stuck or when you're traveling, you know, you go out to go to Chicago and you buy all your groceries and they expire in your fridge because now you went on another, you got called out because somebody else decided to burn down their town.

02:00:36.000 It's really hard to take care of your health.

02:00:38.000 It really is.

02:00:39.000 This is a very hard industry to take care of your health.

02:00:41.000 Yeah, there were a lot of days where I would start losing the ability to walk because you cover a protest for four hours, no water, no potassium, you're exerting yourself, and it's like running a marathon.

02:00:53.000 And all while wearing a gas mask, too, half the time, with no oxygen, and then your pores are burning on the side of your face, and every time you sweat, but people don't realize about being in clouds of tear gas for multiple hours,

02:01:06.000 is it soaks into your DNA or something.

02:01:10.000 I mean, this is totally anti-science, but let's just go with it.

02:01:12.000 Yeah, but I mean, what I'm saying is, it feels like it becomes a part of you,

02:01:16.000 and then the worst part of the night is when you get in the shower,

02:01:19.000 and you feel like you're, it's like lava.

02:01:23.000 Your whole body cries.

02:01:25.000 You ever see that movie Daybreakers?

02:01:27.000 No.

02:01:28.000 It's Ethan Hawke plays a vampire, and the whole society is vampires,

02:01:33.000 and they're running out of humans.

02:01:35.000 Oh, I know yes I do know this but there's a there's a scene where Willem Dafoe's character discovers a way to turn back to being human when he gets ejected from his car burst into flames and hits the water so they have this scene where Ethan Hawke is in this vat and And they open it, sunlight comes in, and he bursts into flames and screams, and they close it, he's like, and they open it again, he bursts into flames.

02:01:55.000 That's what it's like.

02:01:56.000 You're coming home, you're coming back from, when I was in D.C.

02:01:59.000 on inauguration night, during the Trump riots, when he was getting inaugurated, I was covered in pepper spray, just like, aw, dude, all over.

02:02:05.000 Was it the bear mace kind, or did they just cover you?

02:02:07.000 No, no, it was police OC.

02:02:09.000 Oleoresin capsaicin.

02:02:11.000 And so they were spraying, and I had it all over my neck and my shirt, and I got in the shower, and it was like that scene from Daybreak.

02:02:17.000 You turn the water on, and you go, ah!

02:02:20.000 I'm kidding, it's not that bad.

02:02:22.000 You know what it is?

02:02:23.000 Because what I told someone about, I said, this is where, I'm gonna get graphic here.

02:02:27.000 So you have, you know, speaking of cracks in the matrix, you have another crack.

02:02:32.000 And the problem is, is that when you shower, that the water runs down your crack and it gets into your,

02:02:39.000 it gets, I'll call it a sphincter medically.

02:02:41.000 We have, having liquid tear gas drip into your sphincter and feel like burning, like it feels like someone took

02:02:52.000 a red hot chili pepper, not the band, and just shoved it up your butt.

02:02:57.000 It hurts.

02:02:58.000 It burns.

02:02:59.000 And you have your other front part.

02:03:02.000 Your front hole.

02:03:03.000 You know, that especially if you have, you know, manscaped recently or anything that's all sensitive, if you've done anything like that, guys, you know, you gotta take care of what you gotta take care of.

02:03:13.000 And it touches these freshly cut pores and stuff down on the family jewels.

02:03:18.000 And oh my gosh, like I remember the first time my old producer did this.

02:03:21.000 You just hear in the bathroom, the shower turns on and I go, three, two.

02:03:26.000 Oh, dude, what is this?

02:03:27.000 I'm like, I couldn't warn you.

02:03:28.000 I just, I'm sorry.

02:03:29.000 It's like.

02:03:30.000 You gotta get it over with.

02:03:32.000 It's funny when you're hanging out with someone who's never actually gone through it, and it's like the first spraying is kind of bad, but then after like 15 or so minutes, they forget about it, and you just know they don't understand what's coming next.

02:03:43.000 So they're like, you get the spray on, you get tear gas dried on you or whatever, and then you go about your business, and it's like, you're mildly uncomfortable a little bit.

02:03:50.000 But then most people tend to forget.

02:03:51.000 Then you go back to the HQ or whatever, and they don't know what's about to come next.

02:03:57.000 And you look over at your friends, and you're like, this is gonna be hilarious.

02:03:59.000 And then they go in the shower and then we all start laughing and like high five and crack beers.

02:04:04.000 It's like hazing.

02:04:05.000 Smash it.

02:04:07.000 But the best part about this is, is that like what will happen is, so a lot of times a lot of these journalists are looking, you know, they're trying to figure out how to finance themselves.

02:04:14.000 So I've been trying to really help these guys, give them, you know, let them stay in my hotels with me, whatever.

02:04:19.000 So what will happen is it's like four guys who have just been reporting, taking off all their riot gear that's been doused in spray.

02:04:24.000 The whole room, you're just coughing the whole night.

02:04:27.000 You can't stop coughing, but the worst part is when I get home my wife, she'll open up the bag and it'll burn her eyes and make her cough.

02:04:35.000 So we soak my gear.

02:04:36.000 The water in the bathtub, we have to soak it out because it's too much for the washer to handle.

02:04:42.000 It turns dark gray black.

02:04:44.000 So there's so much gas in your clothes chemically that it turns the water black.

02:04:49.000 It's disgusting.

02:04:50.000 I went to a Trump rally in Fort Lauderdale and when I was going through the security

02:04:55.000 line for the press, they asked me to take my, I have a sling bag that I would, because

02:04:59.000 it's small enough just be like, you throw it over your shoulder, it's a mountain climbing

02:05:04.000 bag and it's very flat against your body so it's really simple to carry.

02:05:08.000 And I took it off and they said we have to screen all the bags.

02:05:10.000 They put it down.

02:05:11.000 The dog sniffed it and the dog went nuts.

02:05:13.000 And they were like, whose bag is this?

02:05:14.000 And I was like, it's mine.

02:05:15.000 Come with me.

02:05:16.000 And they pulled me off to the side and they were like, our dog has alerted us to your bag.

02:05:19.000 We searched it.

02:05:20.000 Can you explain to us why this happened?

02:05:22.000 And I was like, oh, you know, I cover civil unrest and conflict.

02:05:25.000 And he was like, oh, okay, okay.

02:05:26.000 Here you go.

02:05:27.000 And he handed it to me like.

02:05:28.000 Like, oh, cool, man.

02:05:29.000 The bag was drenched in this stuff, man.

02:05:32.000 I brought that bag everywhere.

02:05:34.000 In Turkey, tear gas.

02:05:35.000 In Brazil, tear gas.

02:05:36.000 It's the poorest, you know, one of my, one of the biggest things I hate about the tear gas is, so I've gotten some pretty, I mean, you know, like I, I get shot up pretty often by like, I'm glad I haven't gotten the big rubber discharges, you know, like those.

02:05:47.000 I got some, yeah, they're sitting around somewhere.

02:05:48.000 Where they just give you like massive welts.

02:05:50.000 I haven't gotten one of those yet.

02:05:51.000 Are they 40 millimeter, I think?

02:05:51.000 Yeah, like I get more just the balls, you know, the pellets.

02:05:54.000 I got shot in the face with one of those once.

02:05:56.000 A ricochet, though.

02:05:56.000 What?

02:05:57.000 I was leaning up against the wall in Baltimore.

02:06:00.000 I think this was Baltimore.

02:06:01.000 And the cop shot... It was a round planter right next to me and it exploded into my face.

02:06:08.000 And because I was crouching behind a wall, I had my goggles on my head.

02:06:12.000 And I didn't pull them down because I was like, I'm behind this planter hiding.

02:06:16.000 And when it hit the side of it, it shattered and sprayed my face with plastic bits and pepper spray.

02:06:21.000 It was great.

02:06:22.000 Yeah, because they have the pepper balls.

02:06:23.000 And I think what people don't realize too, what always ends up happening is, is I always end up getting hit pepper balls in my knuckles, which you see a lot of, like there's a ton of scars.

02:06:30.000 And they end up hitting my hands.

02:06:32.000 And then I end up getting chunks ripped out of my, out of my, out of my fingers.

02:06:36.000 So I have like all these, you'll see all these like just random like scars from pepper balls, ripping chunks out of my fingers.

02:06:41.000 And so sometimes I'll come back with holes.

02:06:43.000 And I would say, but literally my least favorite part, and I will say this more than all of this, of doing this is just, That it gets into your neckline.

02:06:52.000 And so every time you sweat a little bit more, the water starts dripping and it feels like

02:06:56.000 little flames dripping down your back.

02:06:59.000 And you're recording things and it just feels like needles.

02:07:02.000 And it's like, I'm not against acupuncture, but not while I'm covering riots.

02:07:06.000 Have you noticed traditional journalists being morons during riots?

02:07:09.000 Oh, they have no idea what they're doing.

02:07:10.000 They're on the side.

02:07:11.000 They're freaking out.

02:07:11.000 They have security with them.

02:07:13.000 They're like, oh my gosh!

02:07:14.000 We have people firing bullets!

02:07:16.000 And you're like, sir, that's not bullets.

02:07:17.000 Those are pepper balls.

02:07:18.000 Have you seen the video of the woman from CNN in Ferguson when the gunshots go off?

02:07:22.000 And she goes, oh.

02:07:23.000 Oh!

02:07:25.000 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

02:07:27.000 And then just, like, spins around and then runs.

02:07:29.000 Like, well, actually, I would say not really runs, because she couldn't move that quickly.

02:07:33.000 I've seen so much of this.

02:07:35.000 These people— I did run, though.

02:07:37.000 I was six feet away from the Kenosha incident, which apparently— Which, the first or second?

02:07:42.000 The first one, right there.

02:07:43.000 I was filming a car.

02:07:45.000 I love when people, like, get— I said it was an Infiniti.

02:07:48.000 I don't know.

02:07:48.000 Someone's like, it's a Nissan.

02:07:49.000 I'm like, that's essentially the same thing.

02:07:50.000 Oh, shut up.

02:07:51.000 Like you can't call me fake.

02:07:52.000 I don't know.

02:07:53.000 I was on the side of it.

02:07:54.000 It looked, the body shape looked like an infinity.

02:07:56.000 And they're breaking open the windows and they're trying to light it on fire.

02:07:59.000 And then good old, you know, young K-boy comes, Kyle, he comes over here and he's, and he's comes to the other side of the window, the broken out window where this altercation happens.

02:08:10.000 Um, you know, you can check out, you know, whatever.

02:08:12.000 But I was there and when I started hearing the bullets go, Cause there was one that went off right before.

02:08:18.000 So I hear like this and I'm like, and then I hear, I think it was like five or six shots.

02:08:25.000 Well, I'm just saying like in the, in the, in the moment, like I, I don't, I don't know how many I heard, but then what people don't talk about is right after all the extra gunshots that started going off, like up to 20 in different directions.

02:08:36.000 So I just ran behind a brick wall because at that point when you start hearing gunshots, Bullets flying all over the place.

02:08:41.000 This was not like that idea of not knowing what was happening I heard it and I ran took me about 45 seconds for everything to stop For me just to run back over and see that somebody had been completely, you know hit in the head but but I'm just gonna say something like There's a difference of hearing gunshots and then seeing muzzle flash and having that happen right in front of your face.

02:09:02.000 Yeah, 100%.

02:09:02.000 I mean, it is a difference.

02:09:03.000 I did run because at that point I'm actually thinking my safety, it's not just like I'm scared, I'm like, if I don't get behind something now and this escalates... That might be it.

02:09:11.000 Yeah.

02:09:12.000 I'm not gonna die for somebody else's crime.

02:09:13.000 I always say, I'll die for my country, but I'm not gonna die because some idiot was vandalizing a car shop.

02:09:19.000 If he dies for that, that's up to him and his risk.

02:09:22.000 I'm not dying for your petty crime.

02:09:24.000 So, one thing that was really interesting that I was trying to fact check the other day, but I don't know if I can, was that the New York Times reported the dude was being chased, the Kenosha Kid was being chased by Rosenbaum, and then someone fired into the air.

02:09:37.000 So, Kenosha Kid turns around, and then Rosenbaum lunged at him and tried to grab the gun, and that's when he fired four shots, the New York Times said.

02:09:45.000 And so I pulled up this story from ABC 13 that says Rosenbaum followed Rittenhouse.

02:09:50.000 Medical examiner said he was shot in the groin, the back, the left hand.

02:09:53.000 The wounds fractured his pelvis and perforated his right lung and liver.

02:09:56.000 He also suffered a superficial wound to his left thigh and a grazed wound to his forehead.

02:10:02.000 Is the superficial wound to his left thigh not from a gunshot?

02:10:05.000 Or...

02:10:06.000 Can we just look at the first sentence there?

02:10:09.000 A man known for his love of skateboarding, a Texas transplant to the state,

02:10:13.000 and a college student acting as a volunteer medic were killed.

02:10:16.000 Like, I don't know if you could simp.

02:10:19.000 At the very top...

02:10:20.000 Oh, right, yeah, yeah.

02:10:21.000 Talk about simping for rioters.

02:10:23.000 I mean, it's unfortunate when people are killed, even if they essentially deserved it, as people could say.

02:10:30.000 I think it's unfortunate that people are so moronic to put themselves in situations to attack someone with a gun.

02:10:36.000 I think that was stupid.

02:10:36.000 Bring a skateboard to a gunfight.

02:10:38.000 That was stupid.

02:10:39.000 So here's the first thing I'll say.

02:10:40.000 The perspective the left has on this is that the skateboard guy sees a dude running on the street with a gun and thinks, oh man, I gotta stop him, right?

02:10:47.000 Have you watched his livestream though?

02:10:48.000 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:10:48.000 Hold on, hold on.

02:10:49.000 Okay.

02:10:49.000 I'll get you to it.

02:10:50.000 So the left is saying he ran towards the shooter to try and stop him and disarm him.

02:10:55.000 What they don't show you is that earlier in the night, him and Rosenbaum were threatening the kids.

02:10:59.000 They weren't heroically stopping anything.

02:11:01.000 They were literally threatening the kids.

02:11:03.000 Using the N-word!

02:11:04.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:11:04.000 Screaming the n-word.

02:11:06.000 Both of these guys were doing it.

02:11:08.000 Both of these guys were getting up in their faces.

02:11:10.000 So it wasn't an issue where this guy was like, I'm going to disarm.

02:11:12.000 It was an issue of this guy being like, now's my chance.

02:11:15.000 Do you want to know something?

02:11:16.000 A lot of people don't know this from being there.

02:11:18.000 Do you know why this altercation started?

02:11:19.000 Why?

02:11:20.000 So everyone leaves this out.

02:11:21.000 I try to tell the New York Times.

02:11:22.000 I don't know.

02:11:23.000 I didn't read the New York Times article.

02:11:24.000 I helped them build the timeline on that night, which I'm really glad.

02:11:27.000 It's a good timeline.

02:11:28.000 I'm not the only one responsible.

02:11:29.000 A few very good journalists worked with them.

02:11:32.000 It's not perfect and they didn't listen to everything that we said.

02:11:35.000 But what happened is, and what people miss, and I tried to cover in my show, was that There were, uh, the owner of a gas station was guarding his gas station with firearms and with people to, from people who were trying to loot it and, and destroy it.

02:11:52.000 And what happened was, is that the rioters who, it was already an unlawful assembly.

02:11:56.000 This was, you can say, Oh, it wasn't fair to riot.

02:11:58.000 Past curfew, everything.

02:11:59.000 They had already started vandalizing, breaking lamp poles, et cetera.

02:12:02.000 They grabbed two or three cones, and I have footage of this, and they lit them on fire in the street, which is fine.

02:12:08.000 But this is about 50 feet away from a gas station.

02:12:10.000 So some of these, I don't want to call them vigilantes, they were just people that were young men guarding businesses.

02:12:17.000 Because I don't know if they were connected.

02:12:19.000 I don't know if Kyle's group and the other group at the gas station were connected, but I know how the anger started towards these people, right?

02:12:24.000 They were putting the fires out?

02:12:25.000 So they put this fire out, but here's where it got really heated.

02:12:27.000 So everyone got mad, and this is when it started being, Oh, F-U-N word, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, going in this direction.

02:12:32.000 So then the rioters take a dumpster and they steal these, you know those like advertising flags, those tall ones from like a Boost Mobile store?

02:12:40.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:12:40.000 And they start stuffing them in a dumpster that they took from the side of a residential business, a residential house next to the gas station.

02:12:49.000 And they light it on fire and then they push the dumpster on fire towards the gas station.

02:12:56.000 Which, look, I'm not Einstein, and I don't understand pyrotechnics like an expert, but I think a dumpster on fire pushed towards a gas station, even though it probably won't light it on fire, it's not a risk I'm willing to take.

02:13:09.000 Oh man, there could be fumes.

02:13:11.000 There could be gas on the ground.

02:13:13.000 It's not a good bet, right?

02:13:14.000 The odds aren't in our favor.

02:13:17.000 So they immediately come over, the groups defending the property, and put out the fire.

02:13:22.000 That's what started the major altercations, was the fact that they were putting out fires near a gas station is what really escalated the tensions.

02:13:31.000 And people forget that, is that the reason why these people were mad, despite them threatening, was predominantly over putting out fires that could have threatened not only the business, but everyone who was there.

02:13:43.000 My Twitter at Elijah Schaefer, even easier.

02:13:45.000 It's official slightly offensive on Instagram.

02:13:47.000 You'd like just go back like a week or so.

02:13:49.000 Watch the clip.

02:13:50.000 They literally grabbed the dumpster, light on fire.

02:13:53.000 I literally at the end of the dumpster, I just like dead pan to the right at the gas station.

02:13:58.000 Like not even commentary, just like, because in the moment going, what?

02:14:02.000 Like, you don't think they were trying to do it on purpose?

02:14:06.000 I hope not.

02:14:07.000 I hope they're just stupid.

02:14:08.000 But that would have killed us all.

02:14:09.000 Like we would have all died.

02:14:11.000 the mayor of Portland.

02:14:13.000 But that would have killed us all.

02:14:15.000 Yeah.

02:14:16.000 Like we would have all died.

02:14:17.000 You know they cemented the door shut of, I think this was Seattle, the police department,

02:14:20.000 cemented it shut and then tried burning the people inside alive.

02:14:23.000 Doesn't surprise me.

02:14:24.000 They're just bad at it.

02:14:25.000 And they did it with the Portland PD and Mayor Ted Wheeler said, even though we all don't

02:14:29.000 like this guy, he said it was attempted murder.

02:14:31.000 They barricaded the entrance and exit of the police department in Portland, of one of them, and then tried setting it on fire.

02:14:37.000 There were people inside those buildings.

02:14:39.000 So I would not be surprised if that was intentional.

02:14:42.000 You know they burn a gas station in Ferguson?

02:14:47.000 They burned a gas station.

02:14:48.000 That was like one of the first big moments of the flashpoints in the Ferguson riots was they burned down a gas station and it was owned by an Indian.

02:14:56.000 That's what I was told by locals.

02:14:58.000 It was owned by an Indian immigrant and they burned it down because they didn't want foreigners in their neighborhood.

02:15:03.000 Whoa.

02:15:03.000 I'm not exaggerating.

02:15:04.000 Can I tell you this?

02:15:04.000 We published this on Vice.

02:15:06.000 Can I tell you this?

02:15:07.000 Is that these people really are...

02:15:10.000 I said this.

02:15:11.000 I said, I'm not even going to have no sympathy for these individuals who are now deceased because of their criminal backgrounds.

02:15:17.000 I don't think it's a fair argument.

02:15:18.000 I think I mistakenly said that Candace Owens made a similar argument for George Floyd.

02:15:23.000 She didn't.

02:15:24.000 I take that back.

02:15:24.000 I had wrong information.

02:15:26.000 And I apologize to Candace for saying that.

02:15:28.000 But I will say this.

02:15:31.000 I don't think, oh, just because you had a bad past, you deserve to die.

02:15:34.000 I think them attacking someone with a gun is what warrants that person to shoot you, whether they're 17.

02:15:41.000 And then people talk about this whole crossing state lines.

02:15:43.000 Well, according to Cassandra Fairbanks and Gateway Pundin, he was there actually.

02:15:47.000 Well, that's the defense team.

02:15:48.000 Yeah, was apparently lifeguarding.

02:15:51.000 And then people say, well, he crossed state lines.

02:15:53.000 It's like, dude, so did two-thirds, I mean, not state.

02:15:56.000 A hundred of those people.

02:15:57.000 Yeah, so did most of those people.

02:15:59.000 It's not like he's just one guy who like came into a foreign city and was like, stop destroying your city.

02:16:03.000 Look, look, look.

02:16:04.000 He worked there.

02:16:05.000 That's what I'm saying.

02:16:06.000 He was a part of that city.

02:16:07.000 And what they're leaving out when they mention this is that Antioch is on the border.

02:16:13.000 Literally on the border.

02:16:14.000 You could walk out of your house and cross the state line.

02:16:17.000 Oh yeah, you get right out of Kenosha, you're right there in Illinois.

02:16:20.000 You're right there.

02:16:20.000 It's 20 miles away, Antioch from Kenosha.

02:16:23.000 That's 25 minutes driving.

02:16:24.000 Antioch is on the border.

02:16:26.000 Pull up Google Maps, look for Antioch, Illinois, and you'll be like, oh wow, if you live right there, you could walk a minute.

02:16:32.000 And it's farmland, which people don't understand.

02:16:33.000 Very straight roads right out of Kenosha into Illinois.

02:16:38.000 And so you can go very fast.

02:16:40.000 And I did.

02:16:40.000 I'm not going to say how fast.

02:16:42.000 But it's like cornfields and stuff.

02:16:43.000 Yeah, it's cornfield.

02:16:44.000 So it's not like this guy, you know, meandered through Gotham and, you know, had to like, you know, cut the throat of Joker to get there and somehow, you know, was the biggest villain of them all.

02:16:54.000 This guy literally could just, I mean, it's close enough and a straight shot, literally straight.

02:16:58.000 And it's just like, yeah, I could work in Canada.

02:17:00.000 I could like work right there.

02:17:01.000 It's normal for them.

02:17:02.000 I went to Antioch area, that area to go get food.

02:17:05.000 Right.

02:17:05.000 That's like where I was traveling to get food during, after curfew.

02:17:07.000 It's like, it's like a suburbs.

02:17:09.000 People don't realize that.

02:17:10.000 It's like, it sounds crazy.

02:17:11.000 It's like, it's like, because if you say like, oh, he went from Portland, Oregon to Los Angeles.

02:17:14.000 No, this is like, he went from Orange County to LA County.

02:17:17.000 Yeah, this would be like us hopping up to New York.

02:17:19.000 Shorter than that.

02:17:20.000 And it's like, it's so crazy.

02:17:22.000 You went to DC from Virginia or whatever.

02:17:23.000 It's like, yeah, that's like a river.

02:17:26.000 Yeah, seriously.

02:17:27.000 We'll read some more of these Super Chats, because we've gone a little bit over, but it's cool.

02:17:31.000 Next News says, Elijah risks so much to bring us the Gritty Real News.

02:17:35.000 Thank you for having him on, Tim.

02:17:36.000 For sure.

02:17:36.000 And we have Drew from Live's Matter Show tomorrow, right?

02:17:39.000 Yes, we do.

02:17:39.000 So that'll be cool.

02:17:40.000 More conversation about this stuff.

02:17:41.000 Good week.

02:17:42.000 Handlebar Fox says, maybe Elijah can retire once he takes an arrow to the knee.

02:17:48.000 Hopefully not.

02:17:50.000 Please don't.

02:17:50.000 Have Tome says, how much do you know about the rabbit hole that is crime thick?

02:17:54.000 Pronounce crime think.

02:17:55.000 I don't know anything about it.

02:17:57.000 Matthew Spillman says, Cheers from Austin.

02:17:59.000 Enjoy the cheez-its that this pays for.

02:18:01.000 For real though, I started watching you a few months back and after seeing you on Rogue and haven't stopped since.

02:18:05.000 Tim, keep at it.

02:18:06.000 Hope the new place is going well.

02:18:07.000 It is going well, but we need fiber optic line laid and it's very difficult to do because we're in the middle of nowhere.

02:18:14.000 Cody says, Just found your old collab with Freedom Tunes.

02:18:16.000 Funny stuff.

02:18:17.000 That was awesome.

02:18:17.000 Seamus is great.

02:18:19.000 And let's read a couple more.

02:18:21.000 Scott s says you heard it from Elijah ban all skateboarders.

02:18:24.000 They're the real terrorists.

02:18:25.000 Someone go arrest Tony.

02:18:26.000 Yep.

02:18:27.000 Yep.

02:18:28.000 I Said no, I'm gonna bring this up.

02:18:30.000 Stop calling these people with skateboards skateboarders at riot I know I have so many of them on video.

02:18:36.000 They just use the skateboards to destroy property weapon.

02:18:40.000 They're not skateboarders That's like someone being like someone's a hammer breaking out windows.

02:18:43.000 They're being like contractor Construction worker on the scene.

02:18:47.000 It's like, no, you brought the ham.

02:18:48.000 It's like, you know, you're not there for good.

02:18:50.000 You're not there to skateboard.

02:18:52.000 Now, as a skateboarder, I'm allowed to be offended by this.

02:18:54.000 Skateboarding is not a crime.

02:18:56.000 So there's, skateboarders often point out there's really obvious ways to recognize when someone is a skateboarder or not.

02:19:03.000 And just because you have a board and you ride down the street doesn't mean you're a skateboarder.

02:19:08.000 It's a cultural thing.

02:19:09.000 It would be like if you play basketball with your friends, you wouldn't go around saying you're a basketball player.

02:19:14.000 You filmed a video, you're no longer a journalist.

02:19:16.000 You filmed a video.

02:19:17.000 So most people, like a lot of people, I don't want to say most, but a lot of people have

02:19:20.000 skateboards.

02:19:21.000 They're not skateboarders.

02:19:22.000 Can they ride the board sometimes?

02:19:23.000 A lot of people do and they get around with it.

02:19:25.000 I think it's a terrible way to get around.

02:19:26.000 But I'm a skateboarder in the sense that every day I go out for about an hour and a half

02:19:30.000 or two hours and I skate and I know everything about it and it's part of who I am and I can

02:19:35.000 speak the language.

02:19:36.000 I can say a bunch of words that would confuse the average person.

02:19:38.000 Like earlier today when I said I did a switch hardflip, I was trying to do a switch hardflip late 180, and I almost accidentally did a switch hardflip late frontside flip.

02:19:45.000 Most people are going to be like, I have no idea what those words are.

02:19:48.000 Like if I said someone did a nollie flip crook, nollie tray out, revert, or I guess it would be a nollie 540 bigflip, A few of your followers are like, yeah.

02:19:55.000 Yeah, a lot of them are like, dude, that's a crazy trick.

02:19:57.000 Come on, Tim.

02:19:58.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:19:59.000 Yeah, I used to be pretty good at like nollie flip crook, nollie heel crook, but now I mostly just... Hey, there's a lot of people doing good at crook.

02:20:05.000 You know, there's a lot of crooks out there right now, right?

02:20:08.000 A lot of skateboarder crooks.

02:20:10.000 There's skateboarding language I can't say because it'll get me banned.

02:20:13.000 Oh, I understand that.

02:20:14.000 There's a lot of language I can't say that has anything to do with skateboarding.

02:20:16.000 Skateboarding.

02:20:17.000 So in skateboarding right now, in my backyard, I have a mini ramp.

02:20:21.000 It's called transition skating because it transitions from the ground up, right?

02:20:25.000 Like vert skating is transition.

02:20:27.000 There's a... Please nobody say it.

02:20:29.000 We'll get banned.

02:20:30.000 Don't do it.

02:20:31.000 There's a word that we use to describe transition skating.

02:20:34.000 Is it like a transmission on a car?

02:20:36.000 It's, uh, yes, there is a shortened word.

02:20:38.000 And it has the first letter of my name?

02:20:40.000 And, no, no, no, it's, it's, uh, it's, it's... At the end?

02:20:43.000 It's a short, it's, it's a... Yeah.

02:20:45.000 It's a word that's considered a slur.

02:20:47.000 I know what you're saying, but I was just trying to be... It ends with a Y. I know, but I was saying the... because people just call me E. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:20:54.000 So I was just saying, like, yeah.

02:20:56.000 I know how it's spelled, but just say... So we have to make this joke that, like, you could be at a skate park and talk about busting fat lines on... I can't even say it.

02:21:06.000 I can't even say it.

02:21:08.000 I can't say it on YouTube.

02:21:08.000 This is probably why I get so many videos age-restricted and demonetized, because I'm finding out all these rules I didn't even know.

02:21:14.000 Surprise!

02:21:15.000 Well, I play it safe a bit, but there's a word we use for transition skating, which is shortening, which is considered a slur against transgender people.

02:21:23.000 And if you talked about- Everything's a slur against transgender people.

02:21:25.000 No, but this is literally, like, the- Kinda legit.

02:21:28.000 Yeah, the slur.

02:21:29.000 And everyone knows what it is.

02:21:30.000 But the transgender people use the phrase, and they're okay if you're friends with them with them using it.

02:21:34.000 It's actually true.

02:21:35.000 I mean, but that's true, but that's, you know, someone made that up.

02:21:38.000 I'm just saying people make up that people are offended when you usually talk to people.

02:21:41.000 It's people that aren't actually in the group that are the most offended.

02:21:43.000 Oh, sure.

02:21:44.000 Sure.

02:21:44.000 But YouTube's offended.

02:21:45.000 Yeah.

02:21:45.000 I was like, people will get offensive.

02:21:47.000 Being offensive is me.

02:21:48.000 I'm more offended for you than you are for yourself.

02:21:51.000 And if you're not offended, it's because you're self hating.

02:21:52.000 Yeah, that's it.

02:21:53.000 That's the document.

02:21:54.000 Yep.

02:21:54.000 All right.

02:21:55.000 Let's see.

02:21:55.000 I think we got another super chat here.

02:21:56.000 Where did it go?

02:21:57.000 It just disappeared.

02:21:59.000 It vanished.

02:21:59.000 Oh, there it is.

02:22:00.000 AlternativeJK says, funny enough, my friends, even my mom, say I sound and talk as fast as you.

02:22:06.000 A close buddy of mine said my face resembles you if I grew out the facial hair.

02:22:09.000 Only difference is I'm 100% Korean.

02:22:11.000 I should go on your podcast and do a comparison.

02:22:13.000 That'd be interesting.

02:22:14.000 That'd be great.

02:22:16.000 I talk slow.

02:22:17.000 People have not heard me talk fast.

02:22:20.000 I grew up being told to slow down every, every single time.

02:22:24.000 It's like, do you know Quicksilver in X-Men?

02:22:27.000 I thought you meant the brand.

02:22:28.000 I haven't heard that brand in a long time.

02:22:30.000 X-Men characters, super speed, and he talks really, really fast.

02:22:33.000 Yeah, and he's always got to try and slow everything down to synchronize with the rest of people who don't move as fast as he does.

02:22:39.000 And there's a line where he says everything he does is painfully slow because he experiences the world in super speed.

02:22:46.000 So everyone's moving really... Could you imagine having to wait an hour to tell someone?

02:22:51.000 Like, close the door and it takes you an hour to do in your mind.

02:22:56.000 Anyway, I talk too fast.

02:22:57.000 That's the point.

02:22:57.000 Well, it's part and parcel.

02:22:59.000 You have to kind of talk fast.

02:23:00.000 I slow down on purpose, but that's just because I went through a lot of speech pathology as a kid because I had a really bad lisp.

02:23:07.000 And so I have to concentrate to not spit on people and to not have my tongue between my teeth.

02:23:13.000 Real story.

02:23:13.000 So I got to slow down like when I'm on a show.

02:23:16.000 But other than that, people think I also use drugs because I used to use Adderall a lot as a teenager and I lost Wow.

02:23:27.000 Really?

02:23:27.000 That's crazy.

02:23:28.000 Whoa.

02:23:28.000 I lost, so my jaw shifts and I have to constantly clench because I lost, like permanently lost

02:23:35.000 control of my jaw and it shifts a lot and it was a side effect from, I would say, using

02:23:41.000 and abusing a lot of Adderall for a long period of time in development.

02:23:44.000 I think it's funny when people say that they think I'm on something and I don't drink,

02:23:49.000 I don't smoke, I take nothing.

02:23:50.000 I drink coffee in the morning.

02:23:52.000 I have a, you know, I have a coffee energy drink.

02:23:54.000 The Mormons will be mad.

02:23:55.000 I know, right?

02:23:56.000 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:23:57.000 Have fun in Salt Lake City.

02:23:58.000 But the secret is, to my youthful exuberance and my virility, is exercise.

02:24:06.000 B-part Asian?

02:24:07.000 Yeah, I guess.

02:24:07.000 B-part Asian.

02:24:09.000 Also probably not drinking alcohol or using drugs.

02:24:12.000 Yeah, uh, drink more water.

02:24:14.000 I gotta do that more often.

02:24:15.000 I drank this whole water.

02:24:17.000 Oh, high five!

02:24:17.000 I drank a beer and a water on set.

02:24:21.000 This is impressive, guys.

02:24:21.000 And I was gonna grab something else to drink, but I'm just dry-throating it here.

02:24:25.000 I'm impressed right now.

02:24:26.000 There you go.

02:24:26.000 I can't drink out of my water.

02:24:27.000 So, uh, what's your YouTube channel?

02:24:29.000 Okay.

02:24:38.000 You can look it up.

02:24:58.000 It's of all variety content and it actually isn't boring.

02:25:01.000 I really make it an aim because I'm ADHD and I'm all over the place so I try to make sure that everything is pretty succinct.

02:25:09.000 It's under 30 minutes but usually 15 to 22 minute podcasts.

02:25:14.000 Everything's got a lot of pictures and videos and just a lot of things for people that lose attention fast.

02:25:19.000 And you see a lot of first-hand accounts of things exploding and being lit on fire.

02:25:23.000 Very cool.

02:25:24.000 And your Twitter?

02:25:25.000 Oh, my Twitter's at Elijah Schaffer.

02:25:27.000 So unfortunately, you can't verify.

02:25:30.000 Go to at Elijah Schaffer.

02:25:32.000 It is very important because you actually will get a lot of news before the news breaks.

02:25:39.000 Yep.

02:25:39.000 That's why I follow you.

02:26:13.000 So if you go right now, If you go right now to Slightly Offensive, this is the second plug.

02:26:17.000 If you go to Slightly Offensive and you subscribe, and if we get 37,000 people to go over and subscribe, people will know that he's more powerful than the corporate media 100% because he can say, I can speak a name to have a guest on and they can, you know, increase by thousands of people.

02:26:32.000 Do it for him!

02:26:34.000 I need, but snap my fingers.

02:26:36.000 Do it for him!

02:26:37.000 For I am the kingmaker.

02:26:38.000 No, it's really true.

02:26:39.000 We're taking out of the algorithms.

02:26:40.000 It is hard.

02:26:41.000 This is where the media can't get it.

02:26:42.000 Good media, they can't.

02:26:44.000 Algorithms can't stop good media.

02:26:45.000 And I know, even though they've taken me out of the algorithms, by keeping relevant content and fresh content and by going on your show, People's Shows, the audience still grows because people, even if the algorithms don't show it to them, thank God for shows like this that still take time to showcase people that the media tries to hide.

02:27:00.000 It really is.

02:27:00.000 I appreciate you guys having me on.

02:27:01.000 We're going to have more people, people who are on the ground and people who have experienced it straight up.

02:27:07.000 Someone mentioned this in the Super Chat, one last question.

02:27:11.000 You're a witness, aren't you?

02:27:12.000 A hundred percent.

02:27:13.000 Are they asking you any questions?

02:27:15.000 Are they coming to you?

02:27:15.000 My videos are out there.

02:27:17.000 They can use my videos.

02:27:20.000 Journalists have called me.

02:27:22.000 They use my stuff from Washington Post, Fox News, New York Times, etc.

02:27:27.000 Even ABC, etc.

02:27:28.000 have used it and asked for timestamps.

02:27:30.000 I mean, they're using it to build the case.

02:27:31.000 But I'm talking about, like, you'll be called by the defense and the prosecution.

02:27:36.000 I hope.

02:27:38.000 Because I think you were there the whole night.

02:27:41.000 You're a witness.

02:27:41.000 You've got videos of it, and you can explain.

02:27:43.000 And I have an interview with Kyle.

02:27:44.000 Exactly.
