Tucker Carlson is back, Elon Musk says no deal has been struck, and a new show is coming soon. Plus, a new documentary about the Federal Reserve is being made, and Ron Paul is running for president. Today's guest is Michael Heiss of the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus.
00:00:21.000He put up a video on Twitter saying that he'll be launching a new show on Twitter and the news comes after it was reported that Tucker Carlson met with Elon Musk.
00:00:30.000Now the interpretation from most people was that they came to some kind of accord.
00:00:34.000But Elon Musk came out and said there's no deal.
00:00:36.000Tucker is just going to do a show on Twitter.
00:00:40.000It feels like What they're really saying is they have not signed anything, and this could be for legal reasons due to Tucker's current contract with Fox News, but it does seem like Tucker and Elon have a plan of sorts.
00:00:52.000So this is big interesting stuff, but there's more news in the Tucker front.
00:00:57.000Apparently, it's being reported, he was fired as part of the Dominion settlement.
00:01:01.000As if to imply that Dominion was like, okay, we'll settle, but you gotta fire Tucker Carlson.
00:01:05.000Which is very, very strange, to say the least.
00:01:07.000So we'll talk about that, plus a whole bunch of other stories, my friends.
00:01:10.000Before we get started, head over to CastBrew.com to pick up your Cast Brew coffee.
00:01:14.000I don't have the bag with me today, because we were actually drinking it this morning.
00:01:17.000But you can pick up one of four special blends.
00:01:40.000This is a light roast, but if you like dark roasts, we've got Appalachian Nights.
00:01:43.000And it's going to be part of our coffee shop that we're going to be opening up, hopefully, across the country very soon.
00:01:47.000But either way, the first one is already underway.
00:01:50.000We're already building it out, plus our social club, so again, casprew.com.

00:02:24.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Michael Heiss.
00:03:19.000I usually talk about things like consciousness and psychedelics, but I think I skipped timelines and now I'm talking about the Federal Reserve.
00:06:32.000Everybody's allowed here, and we think that's a good thing.
00:06:36.000And yet, for the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets.
00:06:45.000You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter.
00:06:48.000The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge.
00:07:17.000So, Elon Musk responded to all the news, saying, on this platform, unlike the one-way street of broadcast, people are able to interact, critique, and refute whatever is said.
00:07:25.000And of course, anything misleading will get community notes.
00:07:28.000I also want to be clear that we have not signed a deal of any kind whatsoever.
00:07:31.000Tucker is subject to the same rules and rewards of all content creators.
00:07:35.000Rewards means subscriptions and advertising revenue share, coming soon, which is a function of how many people subscribe and the advertising views associated with content.
00:07:43.000I hope that many others, particularly from the left, also choose to be the content creators on this platform.
00:07:48.000Now, I see what Elon's got going on here.
00:07:52.000We have not signed a deal of any kind whatsoever.
00:07:54.000That does not mean they did not shake hands and come to an agreement.
00:07:58.000Because we had this story from Forbes, Elon Musk talking with Tucker Carlson about working together.
00:08:03.000I don't believe that Tucker Carlson would walk away from launching his own network and making a hundred million plus per year on subscriptions unless there was some kind of deal in place, be it verbal, not a contractual agreement.
00:08:16.000I imagine that there is probably some kind of deal in that, as they said, there's going to be the subscriptions and stuff like that.
00:08:25.000And I imagine that Elon essentially went to Tucker and said, look, the money's there.
00:08:32.000We'll make sure that you get the reach, you have this many, etc.
00:08:36.000This is how it'll work with the way that we're thinking, and so I can assure you that, you know, give you my word that this will be.
00:08:43.000And it may be just a handshake deal, like you said, but it doesn't see... I don't see, you know, I don't think that he'll have a problem coming up with money.
00:09:03.000Yeah, I think, but the thing is, I think that there's a lot of people, I think there's more people that are like you, that the money isn't, you know, the issue.
00:09:10.000Like, Tucker doesn't, I was talking about this with Michael downstairs, the money, like, Tucker's already rich, he's already gonna make, you know, never gonna have to worry about money in his life, so I just feel like he's looking for For reach, and for probably security, and I think that the money is a secondary thing.
00:09:30.000I mean, it's not like you care about it, you know?
00:09:31.000I agree, but I mean, money is secondary.
00:09:33.000You want to do something good, you want to say what you have to say, and you want people to see it, but money is like the oil for the machine.
00:09:41.000So, I don't think Tucker's going to want to look at his net worth, his bank account, his assets, and be like, let's liquidate this property so that I can do a show.
00:09:48.000He's probably gonna be like, how can I fund a show?
00:09:51.000That being said, it may be that Elon simply went to Tucker and said, you do your show on Twitter, we absorb all of the costs of broadcast, hosting, server, and everything.
00:10:01.000And so Tucker might be thinking about it like, okay.
00:10:12.000I just imagine that there's plenty of money to be made and plenty of avenues for him to make money, and that essentially the teaming up of It could be paradigm shifting.
00:10:23.000biggest free speech names going really puts pressure on all of the other media.
00:10:29.000Like this is the most, this is going to be the most pressure that all of the other media
00:10:34.000outlets have probably ever experienced.
00:10:38.000I mean, one, we don't know what the restrictions that Tucker has on him that would maybe prevent
00:10:43.000him from discussing the money and revenues from this sort of content.
00:10:47.000But, you know, look at what happened with Musk himself.
00:10:50.000He put a portion of his fortune up to try to do something good with Twitter because he saw, you know, what was going on with the collusion and the lack of free speech on Twitter.
00:10:59.000So if we're lucky, we're gonna get something similar with Tucker himself where, you know, maybe what Elon is doing with Twitter, they are now trying to do to YouTube and kind of create a new paradigm in the content creator hub.
00:11:14.000I mean, I feel like this is more about the...
00:11:20.000conversation that, you know, the discourse that's going on, the national discourse, than it is about him being concerned about monetary, you know, how much money he's going to make.
00:11:31.000Because again, it's already rich and these guys are the dudes that are out there carrying the torch for actual liberalism in an age when you've got so many progressives that are really authoritarian and really, really strongly looking to, you know, censor speech and say, this is outside of the realm of acceptable conversation.
00:11:49.000The opportunity right now is for anybody who wants to launch a show needs to launch it on Twitter right now.
00:12:15.000It's just difficult to do, and I don't know what the upside is other than just general reach.
00:12:21.000It's an investment, I understand, but it's kind of out of sight, out of mind.
00:12:25.000If we invested in multi-streaming, did the show on Twitter, did a live stream or whatever because they have that capability, I don't know what we would get out of it.
00:12:33.000So Elon, let's say he comes to us and he's like, we want you on Twitter.
00:12:37.000I'd be like, okay, here's what we need to cover the costs of that, hiring somebody to do it, et cetera, et cetera.
00:12:41.000If somebody just launches a show on Twitter right now, when Elon is looking for content to put in the suggested feed, it will be you.
00:13:03.000I'm wondering what the conversation was.
00:13:05.000Let me pull up what Forbes had to say.
00:13:07.000Forbes said that Elon Musk has been talking with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson about possibly working together, according to a new report from Axios.
00:13:15.000The news comes after Carlson was abruptly pulled off the air by Fox, blah blah blah.
00:13:19.000They said that Axios had learned that Carlson and Elon Musk had a conversation about working together, but didn't discuss specifics.
00:14:22.000People that are plugged in are extremely early, and normies are just catching wind of this.
00:14:27.000And I think that, you know, the whole COVID thing is, I mean, I don't wanna, I'm a little hesitant to say this, but one of the, and actually I'll say it like this.
00:14:38.000One of the benefits, one of the silver linings of COVID was it woke people up to the control of the narrative from the left and from the government and it made people realize that the government was really interested in censoring and really interested in controlling what is and isn't allowed to be said.
00:15:22.000We had Lance from the Serfs on this show who admitted, I asked him, okay, earmuffs for your kids.
00:15:30.000I'll keep it family-friendly to the best of my abilities.
00:15:32.000I said, if you went into MGM National Harbor, you know, it's just south of DC, it's this big shopping center, casino, and loudly proclaimed what you previously said, and what did he say?
00:15:47.000He claimed that if a straight male, I'm sorry, that if a male engaged in adult activities with a biological male who was trans, it wasn't in fact gay.
00:16:04.000If you believe so strongly in this worldview and you know no one agrees with you at all, like the majority of the world, you are the odd person out.
00:16:15.000And so with that being said, I think Elon doesn't understand the extent to which the left is in a cult and unwilling to engage and willing to burn things down for their cult.
00:16:26.000Well, I mean, there's definitely truth in that.
00:17:16.000The left dominates the space, and so default liberals fall in line.
00:17:20.000But now with the left fleeing, it's actually a good thing.
00:17:23.000Because that means the popular accounts, the big accounts, the accounts that people want to aspire to be like, are going to be more moderate to right-leaning.
00:17:29.000And that means regular people who are on the platform are going to see more of that.
00:17:34.000I just want to mention one more thing.
00:17:35.000Twitter does lean to the left, but it's not like Tumblr was, where it's just overwhelmingly left-leaning, and anyone who goes there can sniff that out immediately and disregard most of what they're seeing.
00:17:47.000It's deceptive, because it almost seems more moderate, even though traditionally the user base has been more left-wing.
00:17:55.000But that's been part of why it's been so powerful as a tool for framing the narrative on the part of the left.
00:18:00.000People get the feeling it's unbiased when it is really centered left.
00:18:04.000I was going to say, I think there is something to be said about maintaining the olive branch to people who are reasonable and sending the incentives against the unreasonable people.
00:18:14.000We want them to leave so that we can have legitimate conversation.
00:18:17.000But then, you know, you've got people out there like RFK Jr.
00:18:19.000He's on the left and I think, you know, he's got some good ideas and he seems like somebody who doesn't hate us.
00:18:24.000You know, I don't agree with him on gun control and stuff like that, but he seems like somebody who doesn't hate us.
00:18:28.000You know, you've had Destiny on this show.
00:18:31.000I don't agree with him on everything, but he's at least willing to engage and have the conversation.
00:18:34.000You've got the Jimmy Doors of the world, and you've got the walk-away movement, where there is some level of disgust with the cult mentality and all of that, so I think there's something to be said about the Oliver.
00:18:45.000The people you're naming are people who agree on facts.
00:18:48.000Jimmy Dore, he's a social- I think he's a self-proclaimed socialist, but he's like, here's what the news said, and here's what we fact-checked, and here's what we found out to be true.
00:18:57.000He can bring that to us, and we say, yes, you're- you are correct.
00:19:00.000We've analyzed the facts, and we agree on the facts.
00:19:03.000Then our opinions differ, and we're like, well, that's okay.
00:19:06.000You get someone like Destiny, who comes out and says Kyle Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense, and the left comes after him, he may be a liberal, but he's like, hey, I watched it, I'm not gonna lie, this is what happened.
00:19:17.000And then the cult are the people who are just outright lying.
00:19:20.000They will say whatever needs to be said, even if it doesn't make sense.
00:19:24.000For instance, you might have some leftists say something like, a woman should be allowed to abort her child at any point because it's part of her body, but she shouldn't be allowed to do meth because that would intentionally kill the baby, which is just Confusing because it's contradictory in itself.
00:19:41.000Yeah, I think without the olive branch to reasonable people, you run the risk of doing the same thing that's done to the right.
00:19:49.000You know that meme where the guy is pushed from the left and they're like, oh, are you okay?
00:19:57.000Why are you associating with the right?
00:19:58.000I think if we don't have that, and it's got to be less about ideas or even political philosophy, more about character.
00:20:05.000You know, and people who are just reasonable.
00:20:07.000There's a lot, I think there's a lot of substance to that because one of the things that I've experienced is just in my life, it has happened to be that when I interact with people on the left, I have felt like they're exclusionary.
00:20:21.000And this is, again, this is anecdotal, I know, I understand that, but like, if you don't If you're not welcoming, you're not going to get anybody on your side.
00:20:31.000When All That Remains got our start, the blogs that were giving me the most crap were the ones that were on the left.
00:20:38.000So I'm not going to feel any kind of sympathy towards people that are on the left when all the people that are attacking me are from the left.
00:20:48.000And there's going to be a left wing, right?
00:20:50.000Like, no matter what, like, unless you can somehow, like, obliterate the connection between personality type and political association, there is going to be a left wing.
00:21:09.000So, right now, in this country, There are actual left and actual right who are friends and having good conversations and trying to move things forward, and that would be like the Jimmy Dore and the Tucker Carlson having that conversation.
00:21:22.000But what we refer to now as left and right isn't even political.
00:21:44.000And like 15 years ago, Trump was a Democrat, right?
00:21:48.000People on the right would have said he's But that's their argument.
00:21:51.000The argument from the left is, when people say, I'm a regular, I'm just a regular person from 10 years ago, they say, that's what conservative means.
00:21:59.000They were like, the argument the left makes is, if someone from 1950, in 1970, said, you know, I'm not conservative, I'm just a regular person from 15 years ago, they would say, yeah, before civil rights.
00:22:11.000Like, yes, so you are right wing, you are conservative, because you're not with the times or whatever.
00:22:16.000The difference today is, Left and right in the sense of our politics, cultural, traditional versus economic, you know, communal systems or capital systems mean absolutely nothing.
00:22:31.000Jimmy Dore, a socialist, is right-wing.
00:22:34.000You can, you can deviate from leftist economic policy, but you can't deviate from social cult policy.
00:22:43.000Like when that dude said, you know, you can take meth, or you can't, a woman can't take meth because it'll kill the baby, but you can't kill the baby.
00:22:58.000Even, even, I think the funny thing about the whole debate is, Seamus is over here, as he often is, as the pro-life guy, he's not even saying anything, and me, the traditional pro-choice guy, arguing with the pro-abortion guy, and he's calling me pro-life right wing.
00:23:11.000Well, Forrest Berther, and I, part of it was, I didn't, it's so stupid, I didn't want to dogpile him.
00:23:17.000But there were one or two moments, I mean there were a few moments where he said things that were blatantly factually incorrect, but then when he was saying things that were blatantly factually incorrect related to healthcare for children and trying to justify mutilation, I had to jump in.
00:23:29.000I mean, I needed to correct the nonsense he was saying.
00:23:32.000But yeah, part of why I was remaining quiet wasn't because I was like, oh man, like, obviously you know I believe this is an incredibly important issue.
00:23:38.000It's incredibly important to me, but I thought they're having the discussion and it would be in bad taste if this was a jumping.
00:23:44.000I'm not trying to rehash that episode.
00:23:50.000As someone who's like moderate, slightly left leaning on the issue, but to their perspective, he's equating you and I together despite the fact that we disagree.
00:23:58.000Which is a huge compliment for you, you know what I mean?
00:24:07.000Carlson was told by a member of the Fox board that he was taken off the air as part of the Dominion settlement per Tucker's legal team.
00:24:14.000Two people briefed in the conversation told Axios that Carlson had been told by a Fox board member that he was taken off the air abruptly last month as part of a settlement with Dominion voting systems.
00:24:24.000The $787 million settlement for each of the two parties came less than a week after it was revealed Carlson was off the air.
00:24:31.000In a letter from Carlson's lawyers to Fox News, they argue that Carlson's non-compete clause in his contract, which runs through 2025, is no longer valid, alleging Fox employees, including Robert Murdoch himself, broke promises to Carlson intentionally and with reckless disregard for the truth.
00:24:46.000The lawyers accused Fox executives, which two sources told Axios, are Viet Dinh and Murdoch of making material misrepresentations or promises to Carlson that was intentionally broken, constituting fraud.
00:25:00.000The revelation comes as Tucker Carlson has launched a new show on Twitter.
00:25:22.000They can't abruptly fire me without cause.
00:25:24.000Contracts will have terms, and if you do your contract right, it gives you some protections.
00:25:29.000So, I've done contracts before with networks, and they've all said, if you terminate the show, remove him, or in any way inhibit his work, it will constitute a, you know, a breach of contract, and, you know, a party will be responsible for paying out the full amount of the contract, you know, therein or whatever.
00:25:48.000So if you do a contract for a million bucks over three years, and then six months in they say, your show's off the air, you gotta pay me the million bucks right now.
00:26:41.000Because maybe the people who work at Dominion are just cult members, and they're like, here's our opportunity to strike at the heart of Fox News.
00:26:47.000Well, and then they would lump all dissident conservatives in under the category of election denial or whatever label they're using.
00:27:15.000Like, Sean Hannity is not anti-government at any, by any stretch of the imagination.
00:27:21.000He'll talk about small government, but Sean Hannity is the As typical of a Republican as you can probably get.
00:27:30.000Tucker Carlson, for all the fact that he used to be a Democrat, like back in the day, and I'm sure that he's comfortable with a fairly large government too, he's still anti-establishment.
00:27:43.000So even if he would want a big government, he doesn't want the type of big government that we have now.
00:27:48.000So I imagine that's why he gets the heat that he does.
00:27:51.000Didn't Tucker Carlson recently call himself a liberal?
00:27:54.000I mean, he did support Ron Paul when he was running.
00:28:11.000It's the people who step outside of the cult, outside of the, you know, the three by the allowable opinion that that have to be taken out and have to be, you know, made out to be crazy.
00:28:20.000Shout out to Tom Woods for that three by five card.
00:28:29.000And I'm pretty sure, if I remember correctly, when Ron Paul spoke at his counter-event to the GOP National Convention that Tucker Carlson spoke there.
00:28:36.000Don't quote me on that, but I think he did.
00:28:38.000But he was vocally in support of Ron Paul.
00:28:42.000Well, yeah, and I think they also want to go after someone who they perceive as weak because they're outside of one of those bubbles, right?
00:28:49.000When you're standing on your own and there aren't going to be as many people who have your back when they start running hit pieces on you, it's much easier to take you out.
00:28:58.000I wonder how effective that will be now with the largest communications platform, maybe?
00:29:25.000Musk has made comments about when he bought Twitter. He was thinking, you know, there's no place like WeChat in the US
00:29:31.000So like we've had WeChat in in China, you can pay for everything you can watch videos and etc
00:29:36.000And he when he bought Twitter, he was thinking oh, I think that you know, we should make Twitter in I think I think it's
00:29:41.000gonna work I think so, too. Yeah. Yeah
00:29:44.000I'm thinking about, he's already responded saying like Twitter TV app or something like that, Twitter live app, so that you can open your TV and watch Twitter videos.
00:29:54.000People are gonna be producing video content.
00:29:56.000He's already got the subscriptions going.
00:30:32.000I think him going after Twitter to buy it in the first place, it had a lot more to do with than just the Babylon Bee.
00:30:38.000People were talking about how this is actually an effective app for communicating over long distances, like sending messages from Mars, for instance.
00:30:57.000He even admitted after OpenAI launched GPT-4, he's going to start training his own LLM.
00:31:05.000He knows he's late to the party there.
00:31:07.000But, you know, there's something where there's all these pots in the fire that he's got going that I think either he has an idea of where they may converge in the future, or he's just actually trying out a bunch of things and seeing what works.
00:31:22.000I'm excited to see what happens with Twitter, but with this LLM thing... What's LLM?
00:33:18.000As a filmmaker, they have speech-to-text.
00:33:20.000I follow the Code Report and a bunch of videos like that, and it's just insane with the amount of plugins.
00:33:26.000I was just watching something today that was saying, actually, it wasn't the open letter where people were saying we need to slow down AI, It was another one saying that the ones who aren't doing it open source actually are having a big hindrance because all the open source ones seem to be evolving a lot faster.
00:33:48.000Have you heard of that video AI that's like mid-journey?
00:33:50.000You can type in walking through a forest at night and it will generate a video of walking through the forest at night.
00:33:57.000Yeah, it can do just speech-to-text, or just speech-to-video, and it's only a couple seconds long, but just remember, anyone listening, that's the worst it's going to look, and it doesn't look that bad right now.
00:34:10.000There's apps right now where you'll have people on their phones just filming themselves like, you know, running through their house or something like that, and then with a few prompts and 10 seconds later, The whole landscape around turns into like, you know, he's now wearing Indiana Jones type stuff and the place he's in is like an underground catacombs or something.
00:34:31.000This is actually why another good reason I think Twitter might end up being the place in terms of the internet.
00:34:38.000Because if it's a platform where people are just sharing ideas and Elon does get this stuff integrated, we're coming to the point where, look man, I'm an artist.
00:34:46.000I made that picture of Donald Trump and Sun Tzu running in Washington, D.C.
00:35:28.000They have apps where you can animate images.
00:35:31.000You can post a picture of a person, and then type, send in text, or play an audio file, and it will sync the photo with the audio file.
00:35:38.000We've already seen the stuff where people are singing, right?
00:35:40.000We did the music video, Genocide, where we had like Taylor Lorenz singing our song.
00:35:44.000You can, they have high resolution versions of it.
00:35:46.000Someone used Mid Journey to generate a sci-fi looking spaceship captain female.
00:35:52.000Then they wrote out with a text-to-speech program, a paragraph.
00:35:56.000They then took that audio file and put it in this program with the image and made her talk.
00:36:00.000That was like one plus two equals three.
00:36:02.000Imagine someone in a year having a program that does all of that instantly.
00:36:06.000And then, once you have those things, all you gotta do is type in, a movie about a space captain leaving Earth to go find a new colony, but gets betrayed by the first mate, and then aliens come, and the first mate was working with aliens the whole time.
00:36:20.000And then it will just render the whole movie like that.
00:36:24.000And it's all based upon the language models, because there's a ton of different AI models But then all of a sudden 2017 rolls around and the language models start doing what the other models weren't able to do.
00:36:37.000Like, language models can now do chemistry better than chemistry AI, which is trained specifically for that.
00:36:45.000It's starting to progress where everyone who is in all these other camps of AI, they're only focusing on one platform, which means the progress is going to go that much faster.
00:36:55.000Let's jump to this next story, ladies and gentlemen.
00:36:57.000We have this tweet from BBC News World.
00:38:25.000Yeah, that's a fair point, because saying some people is a reference to multiple people, but then saying singular Texas gunman and showing the image is to imply that was me.
00:38:32.000I think I might have to sue BBC, I'm gonna sue you.
00:39:15.000It says, Garcia appeared to use the account as an online diary.
00:39:18.000He posted multiple documents including his name, date of birth, and other identifying details, including a plane ticket, a speedy ticket, and an ID card.
00:39:26.000This is what we call in the business an orgy of evidence.
00:39:40.000They go into the room and there's all the photos of Tom Cruise's kid, and then Colin Farrell's like, this is what we call an orgy of evidence.
00:39:49.000You walk in and they're just like, look, here's the guy who did it!
00:39:52.000I think it's almost, like, as absurd as if... Could you imagine if there was a story that was as crazy as to suggest that, like, maybe a plane crashed and then, like, a passport survived the fireball and landed on the ground?
00:40:02.000Thousands of people... Oh my gosh, in the rubble?
00:41:07.000There's no evidence that Garcia was inspired to action by Mr. Poole's podcasts, which cover right-wing talking points and conspiracy theories.
00:41:15.000Mr. Poole immediately tried to cast doubt on the veracity of the material, accusing those digging up the material as being part of a psy-op.
00:41:22.000BBC, your opinion piece is interesting to me, but please, spare me your opinion piece, and don't use my photo in the way you did.
00:41:29.000But I would just like to point out, what do we have here?
00:41:33.000A couple weeks before this incident, someone started posting random photos from Reddit, And posting four clips from Timcast IRL, a single episode, and making a post about libs of TikTok to no followers, to nobody.
00:42:51.000A Bellingcat researcher just so happened to be browsing Russian social media, underground Russian social media, and found a profile with no followers?
00:43:19.000And Bellingcat's a non-profit, which is very, very difficult to get money out of.
00:43:22.000So, in my humble opinion, I believe at the very least, the Bellingcat people are so bad at their jobs, they genuinely believe random garbage on the internet.
00:43:48.000No pictures of faces or anything like that.
00:43:50.000They can then write posts, and then wait.
00:43:52.000And then as soon as something happens, they can take the picture of the individual, upload it as the profile picture, Then add demographic information, birthdate, location, and the BBC will be like, well, the birthdate matches!
00:44:31.000And I'm just saying, look, it's just...
00:44:34.000I think if you did have a lunatic who had posted a couple clips from Tim's show, obviously it goes without saying that that doesn't make Tim at all culpable for the behavior of that lunatic.
00:44:54.000But yeah, so my point is this is grasping at straws, right?
00:44:57.000Because even if they can definitively prove, even if it turns out that this is legitimate, that really is this guy's profile, they're telling the truth and they have good reasons to be confident, that still is not the nail in the coffin that they think it is here.
00:45:10.000I mean, I gotta be honest, like, I think it's funny and I really just don't care.
00:45:15.000I think we've won so much ground in the culture war that it is completely meaningless that they would even do it, assuming it was a PSYOP.
00:45:26.000The fact that every chance they get they're, they're just slandering, you know, like, Musk or TimCast or whoever it is that is The opposing view, it's straight slander, just associations with the most terrible organization in history, the Nazis, right?
00:45:43.000That's just, it shows that they have no substance.
00:45:48.000Ian Miles Chong tweeted something out.
00:45:50.000Keith Olbermann responded saying, sure, it's suspect because your side and libs of TikTok got caught inspiring a mass murderer, blood on your hands, F you.
00:45:59.000And I said, I really don't care what the cult thinks, like, At all.
00:46:03.000I'd say you're dumb as a box of rocks, but that's demeaning to rocks.
00:46:07.000Like, I just, do I care about what ranting, raving, lunatic Keith Olbermann thinks?
00:46:13.000He thought Donald Trump was a Russian spy.
00:46:16.000Like, these people are not smart people, and there's nothing, like, you know, they try to shame you, and I'm just like, you know, you can't shame me.
00:46:24.000Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer.
00:46:26.000Exactly, I mean, for any story, especially if it's something that suits their narrative, you really need to see hard proof from them in order to give it any level of credibility.
00:46:37.000Keith Olbermann could come out and be like, look at this picture of a thing happening, and I'd just laugh at him and be like, you are a really dumb guy, and your words are meaningless, and there's no reason for me to read them.
00:46:45.000Like, there is nothing Keith Olbermann can say that will impact my life in any meaningful way, politically, media-wise, I just, I don't care about these people.
00:46:55.000But it's not just him, it's like I've gotten to the point where in the culture war, a leftist can come and start going, in my ears, and I'm just like, it does nothing.
00:47:05.000It's like you said, it's all about narrative control because, ostensibly, it's about, oh, there was a shooting and it's tragic and, you know, they want us to believe that this is a Mexican, like, it's a bold claim to say it's a Mexican white supremacist.
00:47:19.000And they will use the tragedy to ostensibly run that narrative.
00:47:23.000When, at the same time, there was other shootings that happened.
00:47:25.000Like, there was a shooting that happened in Tulsa, Oklahoma, right around that same time.
00:47:29.000As far as I know, nobody watched your show on that shooting, so that's not the one that they choose.
00:47:34.000They choose the one where they have to make the claim that it's a Mexican white supremacist just to be able to say that it's somebody who's watching your show.
00:47:42.000Still waiting on that Las Vegas shooter motivation.
00:48:05.000The fact that You had to wait so long to get information about the Nashville shooter, the manifesto's still not out, but this had so much information the very next day, and you're not supposed to be suspect?
00:48:23.000If you're skeptical at all, it's verboten to be skeptical.
00:48:28.000And the other thing I've noticed, looking at the coverage of this, and this has to be part of the narrative control too, is Every single article has this same talking point of over 200 mass shootings this year.
00:48:51.000Anybody who knows about that statistic knows that there's hundreds of thousands of defensive uses of guns every year.
00:48:56.000So it makes you wonder, how the hell are they defining a mass shooting to come to that number?
00:49:02.000It's usually three or more people being injured by a firearm.
00:49:05.000And so what they'll do is this little bait and switch where they have one definition of a mass shooting that says something depending on the definition you're looking at either three people being injured with a firearm or three people being killed.
00:49:17.000And when people hear mass shooting, of course, they don't think that that's what the bar is.
00:49:21.000They're thinking of a school shooting.
00:49:23.000They're thinking of a large group of people being massacred.
00:49:26.000So, yeah, I think three people being injured by a firearm is a very different thing from a public massacre.
00:49:32.000But the way the term is used paints a picture that 200 separate times this year already there have been these massive, you know, Columbine-level events.
00:49:43.000When you use the phrase mass shooting, it brings to mind Columbine, or Virginia Tech, or Parkland, or any of the other horrible, horrible, horrible shootings.
00:49:55.000And when you're talking about 200 of them so far this year, they're talking about two probably really terrible shootings in 198 that are Three people took rounds when a drug deal went bad.
00:50:30.000They're bringing to mind the school shooting, so it's the most horrible event that happens in America.
00:50:36.000It puts you in the most emotional state, where you might be the most reactive and the most accepting of a narrative.
00:50:41.000It's also very understanding of how people read information, like this one.
00:50:46.000Most people will read the headline, they'll read maybe the first couple lines in there, and they'll come to their conclusions, but you have to post something like this BBC article Specifically because of the way that people look for information.
00:50:58.000We want to confirm what we already kind of believe.
00:51:02.000So if we want to look up something like this and we see, okay, yeah, sure, it makes perfect sense.
00:51:08.000And, you know, it writes off Tim in a very, like, interesting, dismissive way.
00:51:14.000So this is also very intelligent in how people peruse their information and come to their conclusions and just validate what they've already believed.
00:51:22.000I particularly like this headline from UnHerd.
00:51:25.000Don't blame Tim Pool for the Texas mall shooting.
00:52:18.000That's because of Vietnam, because of Afghanistan, because all over the world, if you have a population that's armed with rifles that can take shots at three, four, five hundred yards, they can harass a well-equipped army and they can basically wait them out.
00:52:35.000And that's the last thing that the government wants to have to deal with.
00:52:37.000They want to get rid of the rifles so that way they can go ahead and say, all right, we're going to institute this particular law that violates your rights and people are in a position or not in a position to say, no, we're going to put our foot down.
00:52:46.000We got a, I want to jump to this, uh, this story from Timcast.com.
00:52:50.000Jury rules Trump committed battery and defamed E. Jean Carroll, former president, calls verdict
00:52:56.000a disgrace. A jury has ruled that former president Donald Trump committed battery on E. Jean Carroll
00:53:01.000in 1996 and later defamed her. Carroll has claimed Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing
00:53:06.000room in New York City. Quote, I'm here because Donald Trump raped me and when I wrote about it,
00:53:48.000Trump's not doing himself any favors, because apparently in the deposition, he said something like, he told the lawyer questioning him that she wasn't hot enough for him.
00:57:19.000They say that Mr. Takapina clashed with the judge seeking a mistrial on pervasive unfair and prejudicial hearings, based in part on what he described as the judge improperly sustaining objections by Ms.
00:57:30.000Carroll's lawyers, who argued that his questions were argumentative.
00:57:33.000At one point, Judge Kaplan quoted the definition of an argumentative question from Black's Law Dictionary, reading it aloud to Mr. Takapina.
00:57:39.000I just, I, I, I just, I can't believe, I don't believe it.
00:57:42.000I really, I really just don't believe it.
00:57:43.000Someone said that you only need six jurors to find the person guilty in a civil trial?
00:57:56.000I think there's just going to be a non-stop circus around him through the entire election cycle to have everyone looking at these different things and to distract away from anything that he might have to say about the nonsense.
00:58:09.000I think this country's already fallen off a cliff, right?
00:58:11.000We had that story earlier about the border crossings, 26,000 apprehensions and the Biden admins like just release them to the streets.
00:58:19.000So they're just gonna release a whole bunch of, they're basically saying there's no border anymore.
00:58:24.000They said that Title 42 ends, they will enter this country and they will be released, which means it's a free for all.
00:58:31.000So I see that, I'm kind of just, it's hard for me to get enthused by any of this news where I'm just sitting here thinking like, we are free falling.
00:58:37.000So with stuff like this, I think people need to, I think you're right, I think we're over the cliff and we need to give up on any kind of political solution from the federal level.
00:58:49.000However, The states and the localities have a lot of decision-making authority under the 10th Amendment.
00:59:01.000There is absolutely no reason that states can't set their own immigration policies.
00:59:07.000That's not in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.
00:59:09.000They have every bit of authority to do that.
00:59:11.000And basically, well not basically, everything that's not listed explicitly in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution is up for this kind of movement.
00:59:19.000So I really think that that's what's got to happen, is we've got to realign politics with culture, closer to the localities in these states, and then that's who was always meant to be making the majority of decisions anyway.
00:59:36.000That power was there and debated heavily, you know, for the states and the localities to have this.
00:59:43.000And that is, in my opinion, what has to happen, is we have got to bring the sovereignty back down as close to the individual as possible.
00:59:52.000No, I just want to ask you, I hear you, but what would that look like at a state level?
00:59:56.000How would that operate if states were having more strict immigration laws or enforcing them in a way that the federal government wasn't?
01:00:03.000I mean, they would have whatever authorities and resources at their disposal.
01:00:07.000So, like, the Texas National Guard, they could authorize that to do what they want.
01:00:14.000If Texas being a border town, and it's affected the most, why shouldn't they have the most say?
01:00:21.000Or why shouldn't they do it as they see fit, when they're being essentially made to stand down by the feds, when they have no authority to do that in the first place?
01:01:29.000It's the way that our government's set up currently.
01:01:30.000but that's judicial, but still. I would agree with that.
01:01:33.000Yeah, I would agree with that. The things that we're discussing right now are all, the infrastructure
01:01:37.000is all there. It's the way that our government's set up currently. So it's really just
01:01:42.000states taking the authority that they have, you know, governors getting some balls and state legislatures
01:01:48.000getting some balls and doing things that they decide are good for their states.
01:01:53.000Whether it be Abbott in Texas, or whether it be, you know, DeSantis, these are governors that are doing things that help their states, and other governors should follow suit.
01:02:02.000And here's the thing, it's not just the states.
01:02:07.000And so when the localities start to embrace this, that starts to set the tone for the culture in the state or the conversation in the state to make a move at the state.
01:02:15.000And what we're describing is actually what the Mises Caucus is all about.
01:02:19.000We're calling it Project Decentralized Revolution.
01:02:21.000We're recruiting people to run for city council, mayor, school board, sheriff, judge, to run for these types of offices where you can nullify the federal government from that local level for the specific purpose to nullify The federal government at that level.
01:02:37.000We know that we're not winning Governor and Senate, you know, like we're realistic.
01:02:40.000But this is what, in my opinion, has to be done.
01:02:44.000And it kind of brings together both the political solution and the cultural solution, because culture is something that emerges from the ground up.
01:02:52.000It's not something... they're trying to bring it down from the top, but it's not organic, it's not real.
01:02:57.000So by Bringing the community together at that local level to make these decisions and insulate ourselves from the insanity of the feds, that I think is the thing that in time can generate the broader conversations.
01:03:08.000What's the biggest resistance you would find to something like that?
01:03:11.000Just maybe like one example of the biggest resistance you would find and how you'd face that.
01:03:15.000The cult mentality that seeks power and the will to dominate.
01:03:19.000It is the will to dominate, because the thing that people that are against libertarian ideals tend to object to, even if they don't say it, is they can't do things that they want to do that will negatively affect other people.
01:03:34.000They can't implement this policy or implement this project, and the reason is because it'll affect other people.
01:03:42.000And so people don't want to vote libertarian if they can't use the government to push other people around.
01:03:47.000Whether it be push other people around by getting money from the government and having funding, whatever their pet project is, or maybe it's make sure that this person doesn't do a drug that I don't like or doesn't have a lifestyle that I don't like.
01:03:58.000The will to dominate, libido dominante, is something that is ingrained in A significant portion of humans, probably most humans, and it's a very small portion of people that are like, I really am a live-and-let-live person.
01:04:11.000And if it wasn't for that fact, that it is a very small portion, you would see more libertarian policies actually in the world.
01:04:19.000Everyone says, no, I don't want to, you know, I'm a live-and-let-live kind of guy, until it comes down to actually voting as if you're a live-and-let-live kind of guy.
01:04:26.000And I just want to plug one resource on this front.
01:04:29.000The guys over at the 10th Amendment Center, Michael Bolden, Mike Meharry, and the 10thAmendmentCenter.com, they do this work and they track all of these nullification type of bills that are happening at the various states around the country.
01:04:41.000So there already is that repository and they have sample legislation on their website that anybody can start taking to their city council or to their state rep to do various things from You know, a gun sanctuary where, you know, the state or the locality is going to not comply with federal gun control laws, to the gold and silver repositories, to decriminalization, to the banning of the warrantless use of surveillance technology.
01:05:06.000Like, once you realize how short of a list of authority is in Article 1, Section 8, your imagination can run wild on what you can insulate yourself from in your community from the feds.
01:05:16.000I think that if we got rid of party affiliation on ballots, you'd see a lot of Libertarians in office.
01:05:23.000You'd see a lot less Democrats, you'd see a lot of different parties in general.
01:05:28.000The closest thing that I can say that backs that up is that the majority of victories for big L Libertarians are at the local level and specifically where the state makes it so that local level races don't have party affiliation.
01:05:44.000Yeah, there's a lot of local politicians that we've talked about who are clearly Democrats, but they're listed as unaffiliated, even though they are members of the Democratic Party and they fundraise with them and things like that.
01:05:55.000But like you said, so I think, we talked about it before, get rid of D and R and L or whatever, just names.
01:06:02.000And then let the uninformed voters go in and be confused and vote at random.
01:06:07.000They'll just check a random box or don't vote.
01:06:09.000If you don't know who you're voting for, don't vote.
01:06:11.000You'd see a lot fewer Democratic celebrities getting on television saying, just go out and vote.
01:06:22.000Every single time you see one of these get out and vote PSAs, it is almost always a spokesperson from the left.
01:06:30.000And it's because they know the people who are only going out to vote because a celebrity on their television told them to don't know anything and will almost certainly vote Democrat because of that.
01:06:43.000Get Out the Vote is always targeting people that are uninformed about what they're voting for.
01:06:49.000Let me give one piece of pushback here, and this is an example that maybe this wouldn't work out.
01:06:55.000So I remember I was working for Maj Torre when he was running for City Council in Philadelphia.
01:07:01.000Now the rules for City Council in Philadelphia are you have seven at-large positions on the City Council, and any one party is only allowed to have five of those spots, so the two spots are reserved for the minority party.
01:07:12.000And what happened in that race, this was 2019, is that a couple of Democrats created a fake third party called the People's Party.
01:07:19.000And, you know, so it wasn't subject to the party line, and yet they got pumped with millions of dollars and almost took all seven spots.
01:07:28.000They took six, so they took the sixth spot and almost took the seventh spot.
01:07:41.000Which brings me to another potential solution.
01:07:43.000What about the idea of... I don't know if this would require a state constitutional convention, but when you think of the county governments, what would happen if the collective of county polities came together and essentially just pushed out the big cities to be their own self-governing units?
01:08:03.000Be like, you know, Philadelphia, love the stuff that you produce for us.
01:08:07.000Don't really like sharing a government with you here in Pennsylvania.
01:08:46.000I mean, normally I would have said, you know, if you asked me a couple years ago, will that ever happen, I would say absolutely not, that's crazy.
01:08:51.000But so many things that I would not have predicted happening have happened over the past couple years, so it's got to the point really.
01:10:10.000It's like, yo, if I go online, I can find a picture that looks like Phil and then be like, here's Phil riding a giraffe in, you know, Africa or whatever.
01:10:17.000And people are going to be like, that does kind of look like him.
01:10:20.000And then all the other stories, they're like, is it true you didn't actually do this thing or that thing?
01:10:24.000And I'm like, look, I don't know what he did or didn't lie about, I'm just saying, like, if someone says 20 years ago, if I came out and was like, 20 years ago I was riding my bike and I did a bar spin.
01:10:34.000And then you're like, that's a lie, Tim doesn't ride bikes.
01:13:21.000They film women from a low angle and it makes them look like they're tall and then you meet them in real life and they're like, this lady's five foot tall!
01:13:26.000So that's what happens with a lot of these politicians too.
01:13:29.000You meet them and you're like, I didn't realize.
01:13:46.000Like, he told people that he was Jew-ish.
01:13:50.000He was telling people that he had, like, a grandmother that died in the Holocaust, and then he came back and said, no, no, I never said that.
01:14:32.000The first story was when she claimed that he pinned her to a bed or something and then rolled around.
01:14:37.000But, like, even that story that she told, I'm like, so wait.
01:14:41.000She was at a party, and she was upstairs, and there were two guys, and he threw her on the bed and jumped on her, and then the other guy jumped on him, and they rolled around laughing and giggling.
01:14:56.000I thought she accused him of something pretty serious, but I just remember that the evidence of... The eyewitness testimony of people who were actually there at the event did not corroborate her story.
01:15:07.000The first, so that was, I think that was Swetnick or whatever, that was, first you had Christine Blasey Ford and she was like, I was at a party, we went upstairs, he jumped on me on the bed and held me down, then his friend jumped on him and then knocked him over and then they rolled around and then I left.
01:15:19.000But none of the people at that party remember him being there, even her friend.
01:15:22.000She's like, I don't know what she's talking about, that never happened.
01:15:38.000And then it was the other woman who claimed at a party Brett Kavanaugh would, and the boys would have gangbangs where they would kidnap a woman and lock her in a room and then line up outside the door and take turns.
01:17:13.000And they almost never pay any kind of price for lying, right?
01:17:17.000I mean, in the case of Sandman, you know, he was able to sue them and then they settled out of court.
01:17:23.000And I think some say that Rittenhouse has launched some lawsuits and Potentially he'll get some money out of them, but for the most part they just lie constantly and they basically never pay any price for it.
01:17:36.000It's like these articles and stuff like that.
01:17:39.000If you word it in such a way, well it's actually even what Tucker was even saying, like you can say something that could hold up, a lawyer would sign off on it, but it's really misleading.
01:17:48.000It's not really pointing you in the right direction.
01:17:50.000And he could have given a better example.
01:17:51.000You know, it's like if I said a guy was arrested, you know, in charge of the crime, unjustly, you might say, okay, that may be true, we don't know, but then if I were to admit that he was arrested six times previously for the same crime, now I'm misleading you.
01:18:25.000But they do a thing where- Right before my eyes.
01:18:27.000Here's a better way to explain how the media lies.
01:18:30.000Seamus will say, I once heard Phil Labonte claim that he prefers chocolate ice cream over strawberry.
01:18:38.000Phil Labonte said to me, I like chocolate ice cream more than I like strawberry ice cream.
01:18:42.000They would then say, Seamus Coghlan said, quote, I like, because you did say those words, it is literally true, and if you sued, you wouldn't win.
01:18:51.000Because they'd be like, Seamus literally said those words, we quoted him.
01:18:53.000Even though the context was, it was someone else you were repeating.
01:18:57.000I mean, they're using their language to communicate a non-truth, which is lying, but you're right, that in a literal sense, technically they can say you did it.
01:22:10.000So, it is what it is, but Buzz Aldrin got married.
01:22:13.000So basically, anybody, right now, guys listening, if anybody you know gets married, if like, if you have like a friend named, you know, Sarah Smith, you can be like, you know, Sarah Smith and Buzz Aldrin got married.
01:22:33.000There's other examples like that that you could just pair up.
01:22:36.000Like, you know, these two things happened in the same year or on the same day and you'd somehow merge them together.
01:22:42.000Yeah, like we could say something like, um, Tucker Carlson announces new show on Twitter shortly after Vladimir Putin places nuclear weapons in southern Belarus.
01:22:53.000It's like as if to imply they're related or something.
01:22:56.000And you're like, what do those things have to do with each other?
01:22:59.000Well, you gotta read the rest of the article.
01:23:02.000Well, you know, after Tucker heard about this, he said, I gotta get out, I gotta get back on the air and I gotta talk about this, you know?
01:23:41.000And he was saying how, like, you can talk about Flat Earth because no one will believe you, but ask some questions about Building 7 and you'll get fired for that.
01:27:05.000But didn't they change the definition of deportation right before he took office to make it seem like he deported more than he actually did?
01:27:11.000They've changed the definition of everything else.
01:27:13.000Yeah, well, because I think it used to be you actually had to round someone up and send them out of the country for it to be considered a deportation, but then under Obama what they said was people who were sent away, who came to the border and were sent back were counted as deportations.
01:27:31.000But didn't care until Donald Trump became president.
01:27:34.000Most of the arguments that you see in politics are just fallacies created to attack their opponents, the political opponents, more so than anything of substance.
01:27:45.000Very rarely do you have politicians that are actually talking about things of substance, and that's something that Tucker Carlson talks about a lot.
01:27:53.000He made a remark that, I think in the last video that he put up, that the most important things that you can talk about, like war, the economy, etc.
01:28:03.000Those are things you're not really allowed to have any kind of dissenting opinion on.
01:28:07.000And if you do, then you get things like booted out of your job or whatever.
01:28:13.000You know, back to the fact that Tucker's going on to Twitter, I think, again, it reaffirms that, to me, this is a really good thing.
01:28:20.000You've got Elon Musk, who, ostensibly, is looking to have the most honest platform out there.
01:28:28.000I mean, Community Notes does it all the time.
01:28:31.000Community Notes will tell you if an ad Is BSing.
01:28:36.000You know, you can get a community note on advertisements.
01:28:40.000So even if you don't like Tucker Carlson or even if you don't like Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson being on Twitter with community notes means if Tucker Carlson lies or tells something that isn't true, It can be refuted with community notes.
01:28:58.000The left thinking that that's a bad thing, or the left not en masse trying to get onto Twitter to make sure that they're able to have a voice, it'll be a bad thing for the left.
01:29:11.000If they don't come to Twitter and refute the things that Tucker says.
01:29:16.000And as far as I'm concerned, fine, because generally I find myself agreeing with Tucker Carlson most of the time.
01:29:24.000And I have a significant, we'll call it distaste, for the far left.
01:29:30.000But, you know, walk away and let us go ahead and have the floor and control the narrative.
01:29:40.000So there's this, one of the articles that we pulled up from the Free Beacon, apparently people think that George Santos and Gretchen Whitmer are the same person.
01:29:58.000The deepfake thing is going to make this so much easier.
01:30:00.000A few years ago there was a picture that went viral of Richard Dawkins and who's the one who played the girl in Harry Potter?
01:30:13.000There's a picture that went viral of Richard Dawkins and Emma Watson side by side, where their faces look very, very similar.
01:30:18.000It looks like they're almost identical.
01:30:20.000But what someone actually did was slightly manipulated both of their faces so that they looked more similar to each other.
01:30:27.000But for a while, people were going, oh my gosh, Emma Watson and Richard Dawkins look so similar.
01:30:31.000That's going to be really easy to pull off with AI.
01:30:34.000People are going to start doing that and conflating a picture of one person with a picture of another person or just generating completely fake images of people at like drag shows or whatever.
01:30:42.000I'm going to get fact-checked by Snopes.
01:30:44.000They're going to say, did Donald Trump run through D.C.
01:31:02.000Or someone could make a fake account that looks just like yours and then they can buy verification or something.
01:31:06.000That begs the question of, in the AI space, is there any kind of corresponding growth in Detection for what is AI because there's some real dark side to all of this stuff, too Like imagine imagine, you know, you're married and then all of a sudden there's deep fake porn of you quote-unquote cheating on your wife You know, I mean that could get real crazy real fast or imagine a guy cheats on his wife And then the wife finds video is like honey.
01:32:37.000Shamus thought it was real, and he was freaking out.
01:32:38.000So you showed me the one where they were shaking hands, and I was almost like that was real, but then I noticed Sonic wasn't wearing any gloves, and I was like, Sonic always wears gloves.
01:33:04.000They'll change him saying, and I'm not talking about the white nationalists or the neo-Nazis because they should be condemned totally.
01:33:10.000They'll change it to him saying, because some of them should be condemned totally so that They can be like, I know this what you're talking about, I did hear it, and he said some of them.
01:33:18.000And you'll say, no, he said they, and then they'll play the clip, and you'll be like, which one's the real one?
01:33:22.000And they both look identical, they both say CBS, and then they're gonna be like, I know Trump is bad, he said some of them.
01:33:29.000I know he did not come out and praise them, that's crazy, but he did say some of them because he thought some were okay.
01:33:35.000Well, also, even with just the way they decide to parse out the grammar of it, when he said, they're not sending their best, we've talked about this on the show before, they're not sending their best, they're sending their, what did he say, criminals, robbers, et cetera, they're murderers, and then they're rapists, as in clearly they are sending their rapists, but they translate it as they are rapists.
01:33:57.000Trump said Mexicans are rapists, like, what?
01:34:00.000Do you think, like, yes, he gave a campaign speech and he's like, do you know what I think of all Mexicans?
01:34:06.000It's just the most ludicrous thing, yeah, the most ludicrous thing in the world.
01:34:10.000Alright, we're gonna go to Super Chats!
01:34:11.000So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com by clicking that Join Us button.
01:34:16.000We're gonna have members-only uncensored show coming up for you at 10, 10 p.m.
01:34:20.000You don't wanna miss it, it's gonna be a lot of fun.
01:34:21.000And if you are a member, you can submit questions and even call into the show and talk to us and our guests.
01:34:25.000But now, we will slowly and calmly read your Super Chats.
01:34:31.000Drive-by commenter says, I don't know if you guys discussed this, but researchers are able to use MRIs with generative AI to read people's thoughts with 82% accuracy.
01:38:16.000And then what we're going to talk about for the members only is we have this leftist anti-police protester was going to an anti-police protest and was killed.
01:38:25.000She died in a robbery or something like that.
01:38:26.000It's a tragic story, but it's like, you know, we got to address why probably, probably shouldn't get rid of the police, you know, like maybe reform and stuff like that.
01:38:35.000But, you know, but we'll mention the members only exactly what Seamus recommended I search for and why it didn't work.
01:38:43.000Alright, Dave says, Mike, can you speak to what's happening in Michigan's Libertarian Party?
01:38:46.000The fraudulent board continues to raise funds and purport to be legitimate despite the LNC's statement to the contrary.
01:38:52.000God, this is getting into, uh, inside baseball.
01:38:58.000To set the table, it seems to me that the effect that politics has on the human condition exists everywhere.
01:39:05.000And so there were some people who were extremely, extremely angry and upset that we took the Libertarian Party over to the point where they were willing to sabotage the party or their state parties on the way out.
01:39:18.000And long story short, without getting all the boring details, the Libertarian Party of Michigan Hold a convention that was against its rules to try to displace our leadership and then continued on with that.
01:39:37.000Proclaim to replace the leadership didn't and then their judicial committee, which is like the court system of the party ruled that that was not accurate that that was all invalid they broke the rules restored the old board and There is now a dispute between these two boards.
01:39:54.000That's that is the I don't want to bore everybody short version Andrew Roland says, I would like to see Twitter add a video platform to compete with YouTube and Rumble.
01:40:02.000Depending on how the ad revenue will go could potentially move a lot of people from YouTube to Twitter.
01:40:08.000I really do want to see them create a proper video component to Twitter because I've got 1.6 million followers and I would put my videos up on Twitter.
01:40:19.000It just doesn't work that well because of the way the feed works.
01:40:21.000You need to be able to, like, have a recommended videos thing or something like that, or people need to start building the habits of going to their video feed on Twitter, which means Twitter needs to make a video feed section.
01:40:31.000Eric Miller says, cast brew coffee names, hen house blend, and you should do a keto creamer called Shamer.
01:40:49.000My point was, if you went to the public, and the public held a worldview that you did not, it was you who was the odd person out, not the public.
01:40:58.000These leftists are all about making the world bend for them, instead of them adapting to the world.
01:41:03.000It's the peak of hubris to be like, everyone else should change to accommodate my demands.
01:42:00.000If you've got a hundred followers and you want to make a living off of your platform, you need those hundred followers to give you like, you know, maybe 20 or 30 bucks a month so that you can break even and do some kind of show.
01:42:13.000If you have a thousand followers, now you only need ten bucks per person, five bucks.
01:42:17.000The more followers you have, the less, the cheaper it becomes, all in all.
01:42:21.000Unless you're trying to build a big network, and then you've got to pay for all the bandwidth and hosting, and it becomes more expensive the more followers you get.
01:42:28.000But for Tucker doing one show, I bet if he charged five bucks, he'd make like two million dollars per month, for sure.
01:42:35.000Bro Cody says, Tim, did you hear about the social worker who was axe murdered in Vermont?
01:42:39.000The idea that social workers are equipped to handle the mentally ill running around is a liberal fantasy.
01:43:01.000So, on the libertarian spectrum, you can have anarcho-communist and anarcho-capitalist.
01:43:06.000And people who don't understand the spectrum might say, like, how can communists be anarchists?
01:43:12.000Seven people living on a farm who don't use money for any exchange and have an expectation amongst each other as a community on what work is to be done and how.
01:43:21.000So it's quite literally someone's like, Hey, I grew some squash.
01:43:47.000That dollar is a universal trade medium that I use.
01:43:50.000Then they can reinvest that dollar into, you know, hiring someone, helping them grow more squash, etc, etc.
01:43:54.000In the communal side, if you start going towards the authoritarian spectrum, you get Stalin, where he walks up to you, puts a gun in your mouth, and says, you are giving me your squash because we're going to share it with everybody.
01:44:03.000Now, strangely, how it works with the authoritarian right doesn't quite make sense because they don't necessarily have capitalist systems, but there is still an argument to be made for what we associate with the authoritarian right being ultra-traditionalist, and then, to your point, There is a confliction between what we would determine to be the authoritarian right.
01:44:24.000It's the odd group out in the entirety of the political compass.
01:44:27.000However, it's typically because Nazis did use capital systems.
01:44:32.000They were, quote-unquote, socialists, but they used capital exchange, kind of like the Chinese communists do.
01:44:38.000There's a lot to go through, and it's a lot more complicated than that, but that's the simple version.
01:44:42.000Well basically what you're describing what the Nazis did was corporatism and that's what we have today.
01:44:42.000I don't know if you wanted to add anything.
01:44:48.000It's kind of the best of both worlds between communism and capitalism where you still have some semblance of private ownership, you still have a price system and the price system is probably the most important.
01:44:56.000But that's not communism then, it's just authoritarianism.
01:44:58.000It's authoritarianism, but it's not communism in the sense that it's not complete government ownership and control, but it's government management through policy, through regulation, and they basically pick the corporate overlords who then write the policy and tip everything, and so you're off of a free market system.
01:45:14.000The issue is that people think communism, and the only examples that exist in history, are authoritarian, statist communism.
01:45:22.000So they associate authoritarian, overt control, and communism as one thing.
01:45:30.000There are communes in the United States where it's like a hundred people on a farm and they all just do a base piece of labor and then share.
01:45:38.000And they vote people in, they vote people out.
01:45:42.000They just don't scale up because you can't have a guy from, you know, two towns over coming over to me and being like, okay, now I get your fruit and you get my wood.
01:45:52.000There needs to be some kind of way to do an exchange.
01:45:54.000And it begs the question of what exactly is economics?
01:45:58.000The school of thought that I'm from, the Austrian school, would say that economics is basically just the observance of subjective value judgments in the marketplace when weighed against real-world things like scarcity.
01:46:14.000So in that sense, Action that is economized of all types is technically economic.
01:47:06.000I think you exemplified perfectly my point.
01:47:09.000If we are talking about the basic economic structure, Then yes, I am defining communism, and you are defining a specific historical example of one guy's writing, which is not the general concept.
01:47:20.000So there's a bunch of different kinds of capitalism, right?
01:47:23.000There's capitalism to varying degrees.
01:47:26.000When you move left and right on the political compass, you get varying degrees of regulation versus freedom.
01:47:37.000So, like, in the middle, you have a basic thing, like, the libertarian middle would kind of be like, we live on a farm, we all agree there's a chore rotation.
01:47:46.000However, if somebody wants a specific task done, then we trade for it.
01:47:50.000If you go all the way to the hippie commune left, everyone's just like, we agree you can use whatever you want.
01:47:57.000If you go all the way to the right, then everyone's just trading and exchanging value, which tends to work very, very well in the long run.
01:48:03.000That doesn't mean that all forms of communal living are authoritarian.
01:48:07.000Because there are communes in the United States.
01:48:10.000There's one example I was reading about.
01:48:16.000And they have, like, a board that votes on when people can come in and go out, and they all agree the system works and they all get along.
01:48:21.000But it's usually, like, people come and live there for a year or two, then leave, so...
01:48:25.000Let's see what happens is people read about history and there's one historical example of communism, because it never works at scale, and it's statist authoritarianism.
01:48:34.000But don't confuse an authoritarian system with the economic concept of communal economics.
01:51:11.000That's the craziest thing ever to see the Southern Poverty Law Center write that I was a speaker at a Holocaust deniers conference in Iran and I was just like, what?
01:51:21.000Yeah, and they had to delete it and then apologize.
01:51:44.000Media Matters published an article based on my very naughty words, and by naughty words I mean saying marriage is between a man and a woman.
01:51:53.000In Gay Marriage Doesn't Exist, it's an incoherent concept, and they titled it, TimCast Podcast Panelists Fight Marriage Equality, and the picture was of you, and so people were sharing it going, ah, this is why I knew not to trust Tim Pool, he's against gay marriage, and blah blah blah.
01:52:10.000I was like, I was the one who said it!
01:52:57.000But the reason, the thing is, it's because they have no way to distinguish between the different gradients that exist in conservatism, because to them, politics is a binary.
01:53:06.000You're either on my side, or you're a Nazi.
01:54:32.000I just got a, I ordered a leather-bound copy of that and I think they had to actually make it in India because it took me like two months to get from Amazon.
01:54:41.000Phenomenon says, E. Jean Carroll is the same woman who went on Anderson Cooper and literally said that she thinks rape is... I'm not going to read the quote, but she thinks rape is sexy.
01:54:49.000What she actually said was, she said that most people think it is sexy.
01:58:15.000They say that it's not, or he was asking, it's not backed up by anything, and it's not backed up by what you normally think of, but there was energy in the form of electricity, and there was value in that electricity that was put into it, so there is a certain amount of value instilled into it.
01:58:34.000It's not backed by a certain amount of value, it's backed by a certain amount of utility.
01:58:37.000Because the value is still subjective.
01:58:42.000And basically what it is, the blockchain itself, serving as a ledger of account, gives it a unique quality of money that no other money has ever had.
01:58:53.000Where you can trust it to that extent, because you can't hack Bitcoin.
01:58:56.000But all money is, Do people have confidence it can be used for exchange?
01:59:02.000And the value of Bitcoin isn't actually in the coins, it's in the network.
01:59:07.000Correct, in the security and the ability to transfer value.
01:59:12.000Someone in chat said Bitcoin is backed by math, and I misread that as meth for a second.
01:59:19.000What if there is a math standard implemented at some point?
01:59:23.000As for poker with the boys, the problem is, poker is illegal in West Virginia, which makes no sense, but Pokemon and Magic the Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh are also illegal, and I'm not exaggerating or being cute.
01:59:37.000The law explicitly states you can't host any card game, and you cannot play any card game.
01:59:44.000It doesn't say you can't gamble or wage your money.
01:59:48.000It literally says you can't play card games.
01:59:50.000The thing is, the law was likely written before card games were invented, and so the only card games that existed were card decks with 52 cards, you know, the standard poker decks.
02:01:09.000Alright everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com by clicking that join us button.
02:01:17.000We're going to have a members-only uncensored show coming up for you in about 10 minutes when we go live on the front page of TimCast, so definitely sign up.
02:01:25.000You can follow the show at TimCast IRL, basically everywhere.
02:01:28.000You can follow me personally at TimCast.
02:01:29.000Michael, do you want to shout anything out?
02:01:31.000I mean, if you agree with what I'm saying as far as the decentralization and nullification strategy, this is what the Libertarian Party is doing.
02:01:45.000And if you want to support the Mises Caucus, go to TakeHumanAction.com and keep the revolution alive.
02:01:51.000Yeah, I think I'll actually just give a shout out to Robert Breedlove who has the What Is Money podcast because a lot of what we were just talking about with Bitcoin and what is money, what are economics, he gets into that pretty deeply.
02:02:04.000I actually want to shout out Ben here, because in the time before clown world, when YouTube
02:02:11.000didn't suck, and there was a lot of independent documentaries, Ben was one of the early pioneers
02:02:16.000producing content that was red-pilling people on a deep level with his documentaries The
02:02:21.000Esoteric Agenda, Chimatica, and Ungrip, and that didn't get mentioned.
02:02:24.000So those documentaries are still out there, and they're still good stuff, man.
02:02:27.000And we got one that's just about ready to come out.
02:02:32.000And it's perfect timing too, considering all the banks are collapsing.
02:02:36.000So Ben's actually here so we can figure out the proper distribution.
02:02:39.000With Infringed, we might do a premiere, which means it might actually take a month.
02:02:44.000We're trying to get clearance on certain clips we want to use, so the lawyers got to go through it.
02:02:48.000And then the opportunity there is like, okay, well, if we're waiting, why don't we get a theater and then do like an actual premiere of the documentary, which would be cool.
02:02:58.000What I want to shout out is the novena that we're praying to Saint Joseph for the working class in this tumultuous economy, for the unborn, for our enemies, including the people at Vice, many of whom may be out of work, and Dylan Mulvaney.
02:03:12.000These people are very confused that they may see the light and that our country will return to God.
02:03:16.000So if you go over to my Twitter, that novena, I just retweeted it.
