On this week's show, Alex Blumberg and Betsy McCartan talk about the latest in a growing list of stories about the dark side of the internet, including the revelation that the Republican National Committee may have shadowbanned Ronna McDaniel and other members of the DNC. Plus, Elon Musk is being sued by Tesla for allegedly discriminating against women in his hiring practices.
00:00:40.000Well, uh, we're a little bit frantic here because the Twitter files are dropping as... as we sit here.
00:00:46.000So, you know, I come up to the studio, and I see Barry Weiss, he starts tweeting, and I'm like, come on, you know, they do this thing where the tweets go really, really, really slow.
00:01:44.000And we're going to go through all this.
00:01:45.000Plus, we've got a bunch of other stories.
00:01:46.000You may have briefly seen the The story, Elon Musk is being sued because, uh, well, they're claiming that he's discriminating against women because the people who got fired were disproportionately women relative to, like, the amount of women who got fired was a higher percentage rate than the amount of men who got fired or whatever.
00:02:04.000I think it actually just, um, plays into that meme where Twitter before was a lot of women and Twitter after wasn't.
00:02:10.000But Elon just said, who wants to work hard, and if you don't, you can leave, and if you do, you can stay, and now they're suing, so... That one's pretty interesting.
00:02:19.000We're gonna get into all that, but before we do, my friends, we got an awesome sponsor.

00:03:43.000We're going to have a members-only censored show.

00:03:59.000Smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends.
00:04:02.000And the reason I say that is because joining us today is the man who is probably, if there's any one person who should take credit for the Republicans getting the House, is Scott Pressler.
00:04:25.000I guess I'm a long-haired conservative activist, kind of nomadic, traveling the country and just helping to make sure that we're defeating the Democrats and electing Republicans.
00:04:55.000If you weren't registering voters at the levels you were doing and the activism you were doing, I don't know if Republicans could have even taken the House, to be completely honest.
00:05:03.000Well, and it wasn't even, like, blood-red Republican areas.
00:05:07.000I mean, really, it was Lee Zeldin in New York, of all states, and ballot harvesting in California that really gave us this narrow majority in the House.
00:05:19.000And I think that says something that let's change up our strategy.
00:05:23.000And that's in part why I'm wearing this shirt.
00:05:25.000And it's not that I'm saying that we're going to do anything illegal.
00:05:29.000We're going to cross every T, dot every I, but we're going to use the same tactics the Democrats have been doing.
00:05:35.000And if those tools are at our disposal, I think we quite frankly would be foolish not to use them to our advantage.
00:05:44.000Just got to stay up on it because by the time 2024 comes around, they're going to have other tactics, you know?
00:05:48.000Well, and let me tell you, we're going to get so good at ballot harvesting that they're going to try to ban it themselves.
00:06:32.000Hey, guys, my name's Luke Godowsky here of We Are Change, and today I'm wearing a shirt that dropped Monday, and it came in just in perfect time for tonight's Twitter file release, which I'm keeping an eye on.
00:07:05.000You know, a lot of people do political science, and they talk about politics, and they think about ideas, and they write stuff on paper, but you're like a political engineer that actually is there building the thing by being on the ground and moving pieces around.
00:07:20.000Last night I had a chance to talk with Bryson Gray.
00:07:22.000I tapped in at the very end of the live episode.
00:07:24.000We did a little bit after the show, but then after the after show, Bryson and I went deep for like an hour and a half on Christianity, Judaism, Islam.
00:07:53.000Literally, in my car when I was homeless in New York in a very dark period of my life.
00:07:57.000So there's a metaphor there, you know, if you ever want to get to see some of the inner workings, man, you can go pick up one of those on Amazon.
00:10:26.000Barry Weiss says, this is funny, they said they don't shadow ban everybody, they do visibility filtering.
00:10:32.000They call it, uh, VF refers to the ability to limit the scope of a particular tweet's or individual's discoverability to block select users' posts from ever appearing on the trending page and from inclusion in hashtag searches, all without people knowing.
00:10:55.000If I enter into a contract with you and you secretly apply restrictions against me, are they breaching their contract?
00:11:01.000Or is the argument going to be, no, no, the terms of service say that we can do all of these things to you.
00:11:07.000I'm not familiar with the terms enough.
00:11:09.000I would imagine, because it's a free to use service, that you really don't have any recourse to sue them if they're screwing with you, but I don't know.
00:11:21.000This is where it starts getting crazy.
00:11:23.000Quote, we control visibility quite a bit, and we control the amplification of your content quite a bit, and normal people do not know how much we do.
00:11:35.000The group that decided whether to limit the reach of certain users was the Strategic Response Team, Global Escalation Team, or SRTGET.
00:11:43.000It often handled the 200 cases per day.
00:11:46.000But there existed a level beyond official ticketing, beyond the rank and file moderators, following the company's policy on paper.
00:11:53.000That is the Site Integrity Policy, Policy Escalation Support, known as SIPPES.
00:11:59.000The secret group included Head of Legal Policy and Trust Vijay Gade, the Global Head of Trust and Safety Yoel Roth, subsequent CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal, and others.
00:12:12.000It's where the biggest, most politically sensitive decisions got made.
00:12:15.000Think high follower count, controversial.
00:12:31.000stuff. They mentioned that Rijek had been suspended several times. You can see libs
00:12:35.000of TikTok has a recent abuse strike, notification spike, and is trend blacklisted. Two strikes,
00:12:41.000high profile it says, multiple accounts not safe for work view. So, you know, how much
00:12:47.000of, uh, how much of this is just kind of like, yeah, okay, we know.
00:12:51.000Uh, having the receipts here, I think is absolutely important. I, I,
00:12:55.000I think there's going to be a bigger implications here because it wasn't just these few accounts that we mentioned here.
00:13:00.000Barry Weiss in the tread number 12 specifically documents and says how there was 20 cases a day of individuals being individually targeted and attacked as Twitter was going on and publicly saying that we were absolutely not shadow banning.
00:13:18.000The corporate media was regurgitating their talking points.
00:13:21.000You could see, I just retweeted the official Twitter account from 2018.
00:13:25.000They said, quote, people are asking us if we shadow ban.
00:13:35.000Again, this is an official Twitter account tweeting this a couple years ago, gaslighting people, lying to people as they were manipulating our social discourse.
00:13:45.000And we know that when they do this, they could decide and determine not only the outcome of elections, but have huge, major effects on society with the power to essentially control people's minds.
00:14:06.000There's this article from Jordan Schachtel, I think it is, outlining how the Biden administration intentionally ignored this guy and opted for Brittany Griner.
00:14:17.000And even NBC initially reported, I think it was NBC, That Russia said you can have one or the other, not both.
00:14:23.000And so, Obama was like, give us the basketball player.
00:14:26.000Showing that he doesn't care about our Marines or the people who are overseas or whatever.
00:14:55.000There was no consideration for a former Marine when they were doing a prisoner swap with the Merchant of Death, an arms dealer.
00:15:02.000Because Joe Biden said, why would I care about that guy?
00:15:06.000I want you to think about it this way.
00:15:08.000Right now in this country, what's happening?
00:15:10.000Let's say that there's a hostage situation and you're outside and the hostage taker says, I'll only release one person, your daughter or John Smith.
00:15:34.000My point is, Joe Biden, when he looks at the potential of this, he doesn't think about the American people.
00:15:39.000He thinks about his cult and his ideology and what earns him those points with his crowd.
00:15:44.000He is not representing the United States of America.
00:15:48.000I mentioned this back during the COVID lockdowns.
00:15:50.000When Florida was not locked down, when South Dakota was not locked down, and other conservative states were not locked down, and Joe Biden came out and said, we're locking down for these reasons, and we're going to have to do this, that, or otherwise, and I'm like, well, who's he talking to?
00:16:02.000He keeps tweeting at me to tell me to get my vaccine.
00:16:07.000He's not tweeting at me, you're right.
00:16:08.000He's just tweeting it out, and I'm reading it like he's not a doctor.
00:16:11.000What I'm saying is, when Joe Biden came out and said, everyone, we need to do these things, he wasn't talking to any of us in this room or any of you watching.
00:16:20.000They don't see us as part of the same country as them.
00:16:24.000That's just a reality, and this is exemplified just so hilariously.
00:16:28.000This is an issue I have with conservatives.
00:16:31.000Time Magazine chooses Zelensky, and what do conservatives do?
00:16:34.000They go, I can't believe Time Magazine chose Zelensky as Person of the Year, and it's like, first of all, why would you read Time Magazine?
00:16:40.000They're the ones who published that article about fortifying the election.
00:16:43.000They don't have any real circulation anymore.
00:16:45.000They're not culturally relevant, but conservatives view the left as culturally relevant and as the epicenter of America and American culture for some reason, and the left views them as creepy weirdos who have nothing to do with what this country is doing.
00:17:00.000Well, and I think this is how we're different.
00:17:02.000Like, this is where I actually get some pushback from my followers.
00:17:07.000If I'm America First, that means that I want to put every American first, even the commies, even people that disagree with me because I value upholding my citizens' rights.
00:17:20.000And so even with Brittany, you know, I was getting pushback from saying, yes, we do need to secure her freedom, even if she broke Russian law, even if she doesn't stand for the flag or doesn't stand for our freedoms and freedom of speech.
00:17:35.000And even when some people are saying, you know, to leave cities and to leave California behind and they chose this and let them suffer the consequences of their votes.
00:17:46.000No, I don't think that's an America First perspective.
00:17:49.000We need to be fighting for freedom everywhere.
00:17:52.000Now, with that being said, does that mean that I think that we should trade the merchant of death and Russian arms dealer while the very country Russia and Putin are invading Ukraine.
00:18:05.000All I can see from this is I think there's a very real possibility that through his connections with his freedom now we could see Putin gaining even more arms to use against Ukraine.
00:18:20.000That means that we are going to be sending another 74 billion dollars to Ukraine to To solve the problem that was just exacerbated by our very president.
00:18:31.000And that's kind of where my head is at in this.
00:18:33.000And I say not another dime for Ukraine.
00:18:35.000I was already at, if we're securing Ukraine's border while we're not securing ours, why should we be sending them any money?
00:18:43.000But the fact of the matter is the United States is creating a problem while also trying to be the solution.
00:18:51.000And the only people that are suffering from this are us.
00:18:55.000I met a guy, he was, I think he was a captain in the army, I think?
00:19:02.000He was planning on staying in until he was too old.
00:19:06.000He wanted to be, you know, a careerist or, you know, first full career.
00:19:09.000And then he's in his mid-30s and he said he was resigning his commission because of the wokeness that's happening in the military.
00:19:16.000And so I see that, and I'll say it, you know, they're shutting down prisons, they're releasing criminals, crime is rampant, and the politicians keep, like the Democrats in these cities, keep doing the same thing.
00:19:27.000And I'm like, isn't it obvious at this point?
00:19:29.000It's because you are not a part of what they are doing.
00:19:32.000When they say our democracy, replace, when they say our democracy, replace that with cult.
00:19:38.000And then remember that you're not a part of their cult.
00:19:41.000So when Joe Biden comes out and says, these far-right extremists are a threat to our cult, then you need to understand what he's really saying.
00:19:48.000He's not talking about the United States.
00:19:49.000He's talking about something that excludes you specifically.
00:19:58.000And if someone in the federal government is trying to override that and act like they're the one that resembles the states united, then they're failing.
00:20:07.000Let's continue on with this thread here.
00:20:10.000The number 17 tweet from Barry Weiss gets really, really interesting because now you start to see that Twitter was lying about their bias.
00:20:20.000Barry Weiss says the account, Libs of TikTok, which Chaya Rajchik began in November 2020 and now boasts over 1.4 million followers, was subjected to six suspensions in 2022 alone.
00:20:30.000Rajchik says each time she was blocked from posting for as long as a week.
00:20:34.000Twitter repeatedly informed Rychik that she had been suspended for violating Twitter's policy against hateful conduct.
00:20:41.000But in an internal SIP PES memo from October 2022, after her seventh suspension, the committee acknowledged, quote, Libs of TikTok has not directly engaged in behavior violative of the hateful conduct policy.
00:21:09.000If they publicly stated you violated their hateful conduct policy, but then internally said you didn't, that means they knew they were lying.
00:21:36.000I would go after the individual person as opposed to Twitter, the company, because clearly all of this was done before the Elon Musk administration.
00:21:47.000Well, there's names being named here, a part of their strategic response team, and the group's name, and who was heading them, and it looks like Vijaya was at the head of many of these important decisions.
00:21:57.000We go back in the tweets, and, you know, the documents are here.
00:22:01.000It shows us exactly who was making these decisions, why they were making them, how they were making them up, and how a lot of this was just absolutely arbitrary, especially when it came to hypocritical moves, especially when it came to Libs of TikTok being doxed.
00:22:16.000The doxing of Libs of TikTok garnered, what was it, I think Barry Weiss says 10,000 likes, and that wasn't stopped, but her doing something that they construed on the technicality was, which wasn't even, you know, correct, which they knew.
00:22:31.00010,000 likes on this doxing tweet, and they said, no, it's fine.
00:22:35.000I had someone post an insane thread with an address and Twitter told me they would not take it down.
00:22:47.000Then it leads to exactly what you'd expect it to lead to.
00:22:49.000They claimed their justification for removing libs of TikTok and the suspension was indirectly violating their policies by tweets that either intend to incite or led people to then harass.
00:23:04.000So, not inciting, not harassing, but because she posted video and someone else did, well, that's indirect, so we're going to suspend her even though it doesn't violate our policies.
00:23:12.000However, you post an address and, sorry, nothing, in an internal Slack message.
00:23:17.000Twitter employees spoke of using technicalities to restrict the visibility of tweets and subjects.
00:23:22.000Here's Yoel Roth, Twitter's then-head, then-global head of trust and safety, in a direct message to a colleague in 2021.
00:24:01.000Roth wrote, the hypothesis underlying much of what we've implemented is that if exposure to misinformation directly causes harm, we should use remediations that reduce exposure and limiting the spread and virality of the content is a good way to do that.
00:24:16.000In other words, these people are saying, Your ideas lead to things that we don't like, regardless of what that may be.
00:24:25.000We are going to stop people from being able to see what you post.
00:24:29.000And then they had the audacity to go publicly and say, we don't shadowban conservatives.
00:24:44.000They would say, we did not shadow ban anyone for being conservative.
00:24:49.000We shadow banned them for misgendering someone.
00:24:51.000Of course, liberals and conservatives have, you know, opposing views on what misgendering is, so of course they're literally doing it based on the political ideology or political values of the individual.
00:25:21.000Well, what we have is a large pane of glass on hinges with a handle that, when you pull, it actually moves on the hinge, creating an opening for which you can move through, but it's not a door.
00:25:46.000know what he said, but he basically was insinuating that getting misinformation
00:25:49.000will make people evil or whatever, so show them less information. But I think
00:25:53.000that's like, it's like saying that if a virus makes you sick, don't don't expose
00:26:00.000But we know that immune system is a real thing and you need a little bit of exposure to enhance your immune system so that you can handle it when it inevitably comes around.
00:26:08.000Misinformation will inevitably come around.
00:26:43.000I don't know if they actually said that, but if that is the case, it shows you how these conversations actually do good.
00:26:48.000It shows how, on Twitter, there's that famous story of the Westboro Baptist Church woman who got de-radicalized by being on Twitter and saying these things, and then people countering, and then eventually she was like, okay, maybe I'm wrong.
00:27:00.000I feel like what they really want, they want villains.
00:27:05.000You guys, have you seen that, what's that group of feds that marches around pretending to be conservative activists?
00:27:46.000But it's essentially what the CIA has been doing with American foreign policy for the last few decades, going all the way back to the Mujahideen in Afghanistan that became the Taliban, going back to, of course, The rebels in north of Iraq that became ISIS and in Syria that of course were there against the regime because we needed regime change and I could keep going on and on and on but there's there's a long history of setting up your opposition in order to give yourself an excuse to have a strict
00:29:21.000I'm like, you know, it's about that time.
00:29:22.000It's the annual ask Jack to come and have a conversation and I understand by like coming out and saying this and being critical of him the likelihood that actually wants to come on as low but what I think of Jack Dorsey is that He built a sewer, and then he crawled to the lowest point of the piping, placed his mouth firmly on the spigot, and turned it on, and just let it all flow into his body.
00:29:43.000What I mean by that is, in the early days of Twitter, this was a tech bro.
00:29:46.000He was like a libertarian-style tech bro.
00:29:48.000He was the free speech wing of the free speech party.
00:29:50.000He created a platform that just started loading up with refuse from woke activists spouting garbled nonsense.
00:29:57.000And then he started consuming that garbled nonsense and buying into it and believing it.
00:30:02.000And then he ended up, because the machine was going right down his throat, vomiting all that stuff back out into the platform.
00:30:10.000So, when you have a bunch of activists demanding censorship, arguing this is the right thing to do, and you give in a little bit, eventually the only thing you see is their arguments, and then you start buying into their arguments, then, as the person controlling the system, you start implementing rules based on their arguments.
00:30:25.000So, from free speech wing of the Free Speech Party, to gargling on the refuse of woke activists and spitting it back in their faces, and everyone else's.
00:30:32.000I wonder if what he said it was his civic responsibility or for the civic righteousness or whatever he said, why he was banning and shadow banning.
00:30:39.000I wonder if it's because the government was like, you know, it's your civic responsibility.
00:30:43.000They're there with handcuffs like dudes.
00:30:47.000We're going to throw you in prison if you don't.
00:30:48.000And that's why he's talking about decentralizing it and creating a protocol instead of a centralized network.
00:30:53.000Because if you have a centralized network, DEA wants to, or not the DEA, Dave Rubin just retweeted his conversation that he had with Jack Dorsey in 2020, where Jack specifically told him that there's no shadow banning based on political beliefs.
00:31:01.000want to get in there and choose what people see and what people are told.
00:31:05.000Dave Rubin just retweeted his conversation that he had with Jack Dorsey in 2020, where
00:31:10.000Jack specifically told him that there's no shadow banning based on political beliefs.
00:31:51.000No, it's nothing to do with their political beliefs.
00:31:54.000You can vote for Republicans, but if you want lower taxes, smaller government, believe that there's only two genders, well, then we'll ban you.
00:32:10.000You can ask any question, and they will find some legalese, nonsensical, semantic argument as to why they're doing or not doing whatever they're supposed to be doing or not doing.
00:32:18.000Well, I mean, people question elections.
00:32:20.000That gets banned online, I've heard, and that's total politics.
00:32:23.000So, obviously, if you're involved in suppressing people questioning elections around the world, then you're involved in political suppression.
00:32:31.000Well, I asked Elon when I was on the space with him and I said, have advertisers threatened to pull money if you didn't adhere to a certain policy or have lawmakers threatened to introduce legislation should you not adhere?
00:32:47.000And I wonder if that's been going on as well.
00:32:50.000You know, the threatening of introducing policy or legislation that would hurt Twitter's ability if they didn't censor people.
00:33:00.000You know, because Twitter came along when President Obama was in office, right?
00:33:58.000It was the Bernie Sanders meme, where he's sitting there, but they put Ye's face mask over it, and his jacket, and the idea is basically like, I wonder if that was the case?
00:34:07.000You know, if you're Ye and you're not super into politics this way, like, you may have some ancillary view of it, but the activists keep saying, like, oh, Alex Jones is a fascist, he's a Nazi.
00:34:14.000And then you're like, okay, so you go and hang out with them, and Alex is like, no, I hate all those people, I want nothing to do with it, you're like, wait, what?
00:34:23.000So this is the funny thing, even Gavin McInnes, who they claim is the far-right, white supremacist, neo-Nazi, Proud Boys, he's telling Ye to stop judging people based on being a part of a group and to judge them like individuals, and...
00:34:35.000I wonder if what Ye actually did was just grabbing the Overton window and ripping it as far to the right as he possibly could.
00:35:03.000It's from, I think, maybe The Independent or something, or Yahoo.
00:35:06.000And it was like Tim Pool profited off of Ye's antisemitism or something like that.
00:35:11.000And then it was like, because he came on the show and said this stuff and then I disagreed with him and we made super chats, they're arguing that it was profiting off of hate or whatever.
00:35:18.000And I'm like, or is it profiting off of opposing hate?
00:35:32.000It's very disturbing that people think we could create a world where people aren't mean or cruel.
00:35:35.000Like that is complete impossibility and insanity to think that we could suppress the human will so much that people will just be nice all the time.
00:35:46.000You see the Project Veritas expose the other day?
00:35:50.000It's like, this morning, when I wake up and I'm doing my morning segment, I'm watching the video again, because we watched it the other night.
00:35:58.000I just went on YouTube and I looked up 90s commercials, and I was like, I'm just gonna, like, 15 minutes of commercials from the 90s, just to remember the good old days when there were no troubles.
00:36:07.000I know my parents probably had troubles, and there was war and stuff, but I was a little kid, so I'm just gonna watch these commercials, forget all about it.
00:36:15.000That this dean was talking about how they were giving these kids, these adult objects, teaching them how to use them to spit on them and things like that.
00:36:23.000I can't even say it because you might have kids in the room.
00:36:25.000And so I started, I posted on Facebook, and here's the funny thing.
00:36:30.000What do you think the response is from the left when they hear this stuff?
00:36:33.000Do you think they go, wow, that's a bridge too far for me, I better rethink what I'm doing?
00:36:39.000They say, well, he doesn't seem at all worried about it, the school seems to stand by it, it must be okay.
00:36:45.000And I'm like, bro, are you kidding me?
00:36:48.000As long, it's like that, I don't know what you'd call it, but the story about when there's a fire in a room, If one person has a room by themselves and smoke comes through, they'll go to the door, feel the door, and go, hey there's smoke, there's a fire, they'll yell.
00:37:03.000But if you have multiple people in a room, the smoke will go under the door and everyone will look at each other, look confused, and then ignore it because no one's doing anything.
00:37:10.000It's like these collectivists can actually be shown a video of a man bragging about how cool it is that they're doing these things to children, Well, but nobody's mad about it, so it must be okay, right?
00:37:21.000And that's just like, if you're a person, a leader, of strong moral fiber, you're gonna be like, no, I have a line.
00:37:30.000That's why we're supposed to have a morally righteous Senate.
00:37:33.000Maybe that's why they say that this government can't last without Christianity in it.
00:37:36.000Because we need some group of leaders that are critical thinkers that can see it when it happens, you know, see like disillusionment when it rears its ugly head.
00:37:45.000There's a couple things I want to say about this story, but this is a family-friendly broadcast, and I'm going to save those comments for later.
00:37:50.000What's your response to stuff like that?
00:37:52.000I mean, you're in the political world, right?
00:38:14.000And what Tim just said really shows the necessity that we have to speak out against it.
00:38:20.000Especially, we were just talking about this earlier, this book.
00:38:24.000To people who don't know, genderqueer is in schools across the country, and we've had principals, we've had school boards fight to keep it in schools.
00:38:35.000And it says things that I would never say to a child, let alone my mother or other adults.
00:38:41.000I think, quite frankly, I would consider this child pornography, and this is in our schools.
00:38:46.000And what people don't know They don't know what they don't know.
00:38:50.000And I think if people did find out that this was in our schools, that they would be horrified and that it would actually motivate them to get involved.
00:39:01.000And I think we saw that with Virginia and Governor Glenn Youngkin, etc.
00:39:06.000But, you know, even for myself, I was thinking, what is my philosophy when it comes to being a conservative or Republican or just a… I consider myself a freedom nationalist.
00:39:17.000You know, we've been hearing people say Christian nationalist.
00:39:21.000And usually what I say is, people should be able to do whatever they want in the comfort of their home.
00:39:27.000Consensually and legally, so long as they're not abridging or infringing on the rights of anybody else, right?
00:39:32.000But then I thought to myself, but when you use the word legal, well, there have been horrible policies that have been legal in the past.
00:39:42.000And because it was legal, people use that as an excuse to continue on with it.
00:39:47.000You know, should we introduce what is moral, what is ethical, And I think that's a conversation to be had as well, because some of the things that are happening in America, like the Patriot Act, for example, just because it's legal, does that make it right?
00:40:02.000Yeah, a lot of the back-to-blue people need to also realize, you know, a lot of the worst atrocities in recorded human history were legal.
00:40:10.000And when they say, I'm just following the law, I'm just doing what I'm told, they're going along with some of the worst actions that have happened to human beings.
00:40:19.000Whether it's slavery, the genocide, the Holocaust, you name it!
00:41:29.000It's two years later, basically, and they go into his business, the police, to serve a search warrant and give him a suspension or whatever, and try and shut him down.
00:42:09.000So, if you have cops come into your business, they do this to you.
00:42:13.000Well, my idea was, shun those cops, right?
00:42:16.000Make sure those cops can't buy a cup of coffee in that town.
00:42:20.000And if they ever want to eat food again, they'll have to move.
00:42:23.000Because they violated the rights of a good, hard-working businessman who was just trying to feed his family, keep his business operating, serve the community, and the cops wanted to violate the Constitution.
00:42:33.000So, the simple solution, non-violence of disobedience, is if you've got a business in Fredericksburg, watch the video of those cops, and then put up signs in your window saying, you are not welcome here, turn around.
00:42:46.000How do you make sure, in a large city like that, that you can stop people from supporting those cops?
00:42:54.000Well, if you go around and try to explain the nuances of why they violated the Constitution, how they violated the Constitution, and why someone should support your efforts to bar those cops, they're gonna say, look, I have no time for this.
00:43:05.000I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:43:33.000Because it's the fastest and easiest way to get someone barred from a business, get their bank account shut down, get them banned from social media.
00:43:44.000I don't know if it's the right way to go.
00:43:46.000My knee-jerk reaction is, you know, again, I haven't thought this through, but I don't think maybe we should be using the same kind of policies that they used, and I think there is some kind of karmic... You think we should keep serving these cops and let them eat at burgers at our restaurants?
00:44:39.000So obviously in modern society it means you know typically a man forcing himself on a woman though in modern times it is used woman on man as well but there's a reason why the phrase raping and pillaging what is together because it used to refer specifically to barbarous hordes going into a village Destroying it and stealing everything.
00:44:59.000So that was raping the village, was to take all their stuff.
00:45:02.000But in the process, like the Vikings for instance, they would take women with them.
00:45:06.000And that's how it went to get this specific meaning in today's day and age.
00:45:09.000But if semantics is all we're really talking about, then those cops raped that guy, right?
00:45:14.000And then you could say, here's a cop, he's a rapist.
00:45:31.000I don't wanna live in a world where people are just saying things to mean something they don't really mean because they're trying to trick people.
00:45:38.000But how do you, and I mean this sincerely, I'm not saying we should utilize the tactics of manipulation.
00:45:43.000I'm saying, what is the counter To those manipulative tactics in a way that we can stop bad cops from, like, raiding businesses like this.
00:46:26.000Yes, we need to do those tactics as truthfully as we can.
00:46:30.000Because look, at the end of the day, we live in a world where information travels so quickly that people just want to be the first at everything.
00:46:38.000And it doesn't matter whether it's true or false.
00:46:40.000They just want to be the first because it means that information is going to travel as quickly as possible globally.
00:46:46.000But I think Ian and I, well, hopefully everybody at this table would agree that 99.9% of people around the globe are good, decent human beings, but it's the 0.1% that is the loudest minority Which seems to be in control because they're able to say those terrible things about others and so many are unwilling or maybe unable to speak against them.
00:47:12.000And I think that we need to lead by example.
00:47:15.000Yes, speak out, but also lead by example with conservative policy, with passing conservative legislation, showing people An alternative.
00:47:26.000An alternative to what the Democrats have been using against us.
00:47:30.000And let's show how we can do it in a righteous and virtuous way.
00:47:34.000And to give you an example, look at Baltimore.
00:47:37.000Everybody was having this conversation about trash in the city, but nobody was doing anything.
00:47:42.000And so I said, okay, I'm going to go pick up trash.
00:47:45.000And it was that one action which spurred others to go, wait a second, I can do the same thing.
00:47:51.000Why are we going to wait for the government to come in and save us?
00:48:07.000So, to answer, I guess that, and what you're saying, like, boycotting these cops, which I'm not necessarily agreeing with, but it is a way to deal with the situation of people, of cops overworking their authority.
00:48:18.000Like, just one restaurant manager at a time.
00:48:21.000One guy tells one guy, word of mouth, rather than try and lie about these guys and defame them, just be straight up.
00:48:27.000They came in, they shut down an aspect of my business against, if it actually violates the Constitution.
00:48:32.000Or, you know, we could just take photos of them and put up wanted posters saying that there's pirates going around town destroying people's livelihoods and business, and that technically is not a lie too, right?
00:48:41.000It would say not wanted, because they don't want them in there.
00:49:10.000So if I put their photos from the video on billboards and then put, do not serve these men in your establishment, they're bad cops, That's my free speech.
00:49:30.000I'll make a phone call first thing in the morning.
00:49:32.000That's absolutely one way of doing it.
00:49:34.000Doing flyers, passing out flyers, being like, hey, you know, this is a community effort here.
00:49:38.000I think also meeting with the community, meeting with the restaurant owner and the other businesses and other people in that community and seeing how they want to handle this too.
00:49:48.000Uh, creating a relationship with them and having them come together when something bad happens, I think is also something that could be incredibly strong and incredibly powerful of people saying, Hey, we live together.
00:49:59.000There was clearly a state that committed a crime and a violation against private enterprise and a private business here that was serving the community.
00:50:07.000Let's come together and let's act together.
00:50:09.000And you might not even have to buy a billboard.
00:50:12.000It could be, you know, just a piece of paper with the photos photocopied, put up everywhere on polls.
00:50:20.000Yeah, with diplomacy you could get together with the restaurant owner, the police chief, and then maybe have a conversation publicly where they realize, we are going to reinstate the liquor license.
00:50:28.000That was a bad move and we're not going to do it again.
00:50:30.000That would be better than just smashing at people that made you angry and then they're gone and now new people are going to keep making the same issue over and over again.
00:50:51.000Historically, cops would not mess with people in their own environment.
00:50:54.000They'd have to bring police in from another state or from, like, the government, from, like, a state government, because local cops don't mess with their friends and family.
00:51:14.000Now, they bring in cops from two towns over, and they walk in and say, don't know, don't care, pull the taser, just jab the guy.
00:51:20.000In this instance, it's a guy who was standing up for his constitutional rights, and two years later, they're like, we're gonna destroy your business.
00:51:44.000There's a reason why we have police officers for situations of, like, a guy running around with a gun, but we're talking about a dude who was operating a business that sold beer.
00:51:54.000And the only reason they went after his liquor license was because he said F you to their unconstitutional edict.
00:52:27.000Because a politician went to police officers and said, go enforce this, and the police officer said, yes sir, I'll do it right away.
00:52:32.000And all these back to blue guys need to face the reality because the national security state is being turned around on the people of America.
00:52:40.000It used to be that they were fighting, you know, terrorists, but...
00:52:43.000That again, don't even get me started on all that.
00:52:45.000But, you know, you do a lot of positive activism that you just mentioned in Baltimore.
00:52:49.000Is there a way to turn this situation and do some kind of positive activism here with this?
00:52:53.000Well, I wasn't even thinking that way.
00:52:55.000Well, I agree that we need to keep it to the individual and, you know, make it known that we're not painting with a broad brush.
00:53:03.000And yes, we do support the police, but we don't support the police when they are choosing as individuals to enforce unconstitutional legal mandates.
00:53:13.000But groups like Black Lives Matter, and I want to make it very clear, I don't support Black Lives Matter, but if they were smart, they're working All of these conversations seem limited to short-term goals.
00:53:27.000If I were a part of Black Lives Matter and I really wanted to make a difference, I'd say join the police force.
00:53:34.000Become a policeman because then you are going to be the enforcer of the laws that you are for or against, right?
00:53:40.000And same for us as conservatives when we're calling out the sexualization of children within our schools.
00:53:48.000Well, a long-term approach will be become a school board member, become a city council member, and become a teacher.
00:53:56.000Become the solution to the problem you're talking about in the long term.
00:54:01.000That would be more my positive activism as to actually try to solve this from a long-term perspective.
00:54:09.000Let's jump to this story about Joe Biden.
00:54:17.000Devastated Paul Whelan breaks his silence from Russian penal colony as his brother slams his catastrophic exclusion from Brittany Griner prison swap.
00:54:40.000In the original archive, it says, but the official said Russia has treated Whelan differently because he is an accused spy, and that the Kremlin gave the White House the choice of either Greiner or Whelan or none.
00:54:54.000They edit it to say, They gave the White House the choice of either Greiner or no one after different options were proposed.
00:55:03.000Because the reality is Joe Biden had a choice.
00:55:12.000Now the WNBA star hates America as much as he does and is part of the cult.
00:55:16.000So this is what Joe Biden chooses to do.
00:55:18.000Your values, as an American who believes in people sacrificing for the greater good, are not held by these people.
00:55:25.000And these are the people that have near- just absolute raw power in this country.
00:55:30.000Through ballot harvesting or otherwise, they control the institutions, and they are the- I view these people as a parasitic cult that is suckling the blood from this country and gutting it, ripping it to shreds.
00:55:43.000There was another aspect to this prisoner swap deal that a lot of people are missing, and that was the involvement of the Saudi empire.
00:55:51.000Saudi Arabia, by the way, the United States just declared immune for the Khashoggi killing.
00:55:57.000They literally cited Biden's administration's executive powers and stopped any further investigations and legal responsibility for the killing of Khashoggi.
00:56:07.000Uh, with Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, the country that negotiated this larger prisoner swap with many people now speculating that this was a part of the deal of the United States getting, uh, Brittany grinder back to the United States.
00:56:20.000And it absolutely does make sense because as we know, Biden was trying to do this before the midterm elections in order to try to get political favors in order to look good to his base. He wasn't able to
00:57:00.000Why is Greiner coming home when we have a veteran overseas?
00:57:03.000And he got blasted by the mob, the Twitter mob.
00:57:07.000So Biden knows who's paying attention to him, you know?
00:57:11.000I just I just don't view view the the leftists like the way I described it several months ago was I don't care what they think it's like asking me what the people of France think about my opinions like well we're not France you know I don't view them and and and this is not a thing where I'm trying to say this because I I'm mad at this group of people or I don't like them I genuinely don't think since the pandemic when Biden came out and said we're gonna lock down and I'm like but red states aren't locking down I went oh man we're two different countries That's just it.
00:57:42.000The left and right both agree we are two different countries.
00:57:45.000But a lot of people on the right don't seem to get it.
00:57:47.000They keep saying our democracy and people are like, we don't live in a democracy.
00:59:18.000What does that have to do with anything?
00:59:20.000The fact of the matter is we traded a terrorist, an arms dealer that conspired to kill Americans that is responsible for deaths across the globe, to our enemy, our adversary.
00:59:35.000It sets terrible precedent and precedent, quite frankly, that was set under President Obama because I was looking at Bergdahl.
00:59:43.000Correct me if I'm wrong, but President Obama traded five Guantanamo Bay Individuals that were a part of the Taliban for that one American who apparently, according to sources, had betrayed and run off.
01:00:00.000And then during President Trump, we had Americans that were freed from North Korea.
01:00:05.000We had the students that were freed from China.
01:00:08.000And we had Aya Hijazi and her husband that were freed from Egypt.
01:00:14.000And North Korea, who could be more hostile?
01:00:17.000Yeah, I think that is analogous to Russia or China, and President Trump didn't have to trade an arms dealer or terrorist in order to free those American citizens.
01:00:30.000And so that needs to be a part of the conversation.
01:00:33.000It has nothing to do with identity, gender, etc.
01:00:36.000It has to be at what point Do we concede in order to get something back to America?
01:00:44.000And furthermore, I just want to also make the point, I think this is not unexpected from the very administration that gave billions in military equipment to the Taliban to begin with.
01:00:59.000So this is something that I'm not surprised or shocked.
01:01:03.000Yeah, I was going to say what this guy is accused of doing is what the US intelligence deep state has been doing for a number of years now.
01:01:09.000So let's just call a spade a spade here.
01:01:11.000He's a very fascinating guy because he started selling machetes and single shot rifles to Africa, then moved on to AK-47s.
01:01:20.000He was charged with conspiracy to kill Americans the DAA Said a couple months ago that his release would pose quote grave national security threats to the United States He's also alleged to have tried to sell missiles to blow up u.s.
01:01:34.000Passenger Airlines He is alleged to have stolen 32 billion dollars of weapons from Ukraine.
01:01:40.000These are again all allegations This is this is where the movie by I forgot the title by What's his name that weird face looking guy Quentin Tarantino?
01:02:25.000We've been warned that he's a tremendous threat.
01:02:28.000But we got Brittany Griner, and the first thing I think of is Dumb and Dumber, when the dude rides up on the little scooter, on the moped, and then he's like, what happened?
01:02:37.000He's like, I traded the van for it, 70 miles to the gallon, and he's like, just when I think you couldn't do, you couldn't be any stupider, you go and do something like this, and totally redeem yourself!
01:03:00.000And Biden's like, well, we do need a D-list celebrity back in the country.
01:03:03.000That's what the corporate media is calling him, and it was Lord of War, the movie.
01:03:08.000If you haven't watched it yet, I thought it was a great movie.
01:03:11.000I was very entertained by it, and it's based off real-life events off of this particular guy.
01:03:15.000Now, the other side of the story is that a lot of this is trumped-up charges, that this was personally directed as a major political hit job against Putin, because he was pretty much working within the Russian intelligentsia, deep state selling weapons where the Russian government couldn't officially sell weapons to.
01:03:31.000So, again, the United States does this as well.
01:03:34.000His main crime was, again, financing al-Qaeda and ISIS, and that's literally what the United States did as well.
01:03:41.000So, your tax dollars went to doing that.
01:03:43.000This guy did it as well, and he was held captive in 2010 and was supposed to serve a 25-year sentence.
01:04:35.000Like, because he has no idea how to negotiate this stuff.
01:04:38.000He just traded, I'm saying, a van for a pit bike.
01:04:41.000Yeah, and when you look at the way that Donald Trump handled negotiations, especially when it came to prisoner swaps, he did a way better job, especially when it came to the situation in Turkey.
01:04:51.000I believe there was a pastor that was being held there.
01:04:54.000Donald Trump wanted him back in the United States, and then he started to tweet about how The lira was a crap currency.
01:05:01.000The currency started to go down and Turkey was demanding very tough requests from the United States and then ended up not giving up anything, according to the official story.
01:05:10.000And the way he handled that was, I think, a lot better.
01:05:13.000And again, I'm critical of Donald Trump.
01:05:15.000You guys know that, obviously, in the chat room.
01:05:37.000She was held there, captively, sentenced for eight years in a very tough Russian jail.
01:05:43.000I wouldn't want to be in her situation.
01:05:45.000She was there because she was playing basketball.
01:05:49.000She was getting paid to play basketball there.
01:05:52.000And, you know, to me, no one should be charged for eight years for a substance that they wanted to personally use themselves.
01:05:59.000To me, that idea is just absolutely insane.
01:06:01.000So clearly the Russian government was holding her as a political pawn, and clearly that political pawn played off and has been incentivized by this larger trade deal, which at the end of the day only incentivizes Russia to do this again to other American citizens that are in Russia, if you really do think about this.
01:06:18.000I want to lighten things up a little bit.
01:06:21.000We're dealing with some dark subjects, and we've got a really dark subject in a bit, but let's start with something that's going to give everybody a good laugh.
01:06:29.000Twitter sued for disproportionately firing female workers after Musk buyout.
01:06:34.000The proposed class action lawsuit alleges that after the takeover, 57% of women were laid off compared with 47% of men.
01:06:41.000The reason why I say that's funny is because there's that meme where Elon Musk, he did this, he sent out an email saying, will you make the pledge to work hard, yes or no?
01:06:51.000If no, you will be laid off and get three months severance.
01:06:55.000And then this data comes out where they're like, 57% of the people who got laid off were women.
01:07:00.000So first, I understand Elon Musk did laugh a bunch of people immediately without question, but then he came back with that who wants to work hard and who doesn't.
01:07:12.000Is it that 10% proportionally more women were like, I would not want to work hard?
01:07:18.000There's an article from the Washington Post that says, Elon Musk's vision of working late hours at the cost of sleep, family and friends is retrograde.
01:07:27.000And it was like, it's like written by a woman.
01:07:29.000And I'm just kind of like, you know, the sound, the idea of working 16 hours a day at the cost of all of those things is appealing to me.
01:07:36.000Is there is there something where there's like a difference between men and women on this one?
01:07:40.000We know that women tend to be subject oriented, men tend to tend to be object oriented.
01:08:10.000But I would probably just say that 57% or a good percentage maybe cared about that they had that disamplification or disenhancement.
01:08:23.000You know, they were taking away visibility from people that they didn't agree with.
01:08:26.000And they simply were just saying, okay, if Elon's going to take over, and if he's not going to censor these beliefs that we don't agree with, I don't want to work for that company.
01:08:45.000There were more men working for the company than women, so this means more men got fired than women.
01:08:49.000But when you compare only men to men and women to women, then the percentages make it seem like more women got fired.
01:08:54.000Yeah, this feels like it's just a frivolous lawsuit meant to entangle Elon Musk and to stop him from doing other things than to drain away his resources.
01:09:03.000That's just my initial reaction to this.
01:09:05.000I could be wrong, but I highly doubt a lot of the decisions were based off sexist decisions by Elon Musk.
01:09:12.000To me, there's no evidence showing that at all, and it's a ridiculous claim in my opinion.
01:09:16.000Yeah, I find—I don't know, there's a tendency for men to be more obsessed with science, tech, and things, and women to be more obsessed with people and things like that.
01:09:49.000Not always, but more generally speaking, that's the case here.
01:09:52.000And when we look at the jobs at Twitter, they're going to be Not doing what they did before.
01:09:56.000They're going to be developing essentially what is the next WeChat here in the United States and encompassing everyday life, which is going to include a lot of coding, a lot of hard engineering work in order to develop the app of everything, the X app, as Elon Musk has called it.
01:10:11.000So that's not going to attract a lot of people who aren't going to be able to tell people what to say and what to think and to shadow ban them because they can't do that anymore.
01:10:19.000I think there was a lot of administrative bloat at Twitter, a bunch of middle management, and maybe there were more women in middle management.
01:10:39.000I guess it depends on what you want to do with your tech company, but I find, like, you want about 90% of your employees to be programmers.
01:10:46.000I don't know, maybe that's a little off base.
01:11:23.000So, at the very least, that could be the case.
01:11:25.000I'll also say, One of the tricks that the left uses is they turn the obvious and overt differences between men and women into racism, misogyny, discrimination, etc.
01:11:38.000Or I should say, in this instance, misogyny turned into sexism.
01:11:41.000If women need more sick days than men for, you know, health reasons, You will then see, if you look at... I'd be willing to bet, but I could be wrong.
01:12:30.000That means there's two big bell curves, they overlap greatly, but there are some differences.
01:12:35.000If this means that women overwhelmingly work in comms and men overwhelmingly work in engineering, then when the layoffs come and they say, we're laying off communications and it disproportionately affects women, they then ignore that fact of the differences between men and women and say, ah, the fact that he fired more women proves that he's a sexist and it's illegal discrimination.
01:12:54.000But in reality, you don't need a huge bloated comms unit in a tech company.
01:12:58.000They are obviously, I guess when you get to the level that Twitter's at, you become a bit more of a communications department than you are when you're a startup tech platform, because the government wants to come talk to people and have you have departments of people that are doing communications and stuff, so maybe I could see that changing, but you know, for the benefit of the good of the future of the network, I don't think you need massive comms.
01:13:28.000Well, quite frankly, from the very people that have been censoring us, and there was no rationale behind it, there was no policy that actually you know, said that's what we were doing. I have trouble
01:13:45.000believing the very people that were lying about the reasons why we were censored in the first place
01:13:52.000that they are being discriminated against to begin with. And quite frankly, I mean, I don't
01:13:57.000think I have sympathy for them. You know, it's kind of like when CNN is laying off people. Certainly,
01:14:02.000I don't want anybody to be out of a job and not be able to provide for their family. But it's
01:14:07.000like, if you've been maligning us and doing horrible things to us, I'm not sure I have sympathy
01:15:14.000I don't know if they have them, but... I think a lot of people were considered full-time, but we're remoting in, and we're like, you know, just doing bare minimum, and that's part of Elon's issue with it.
01:15:22.000It blows my mind to think that if an owner of a company comes in and is like, someone's doing a bad job, like, you're doing a bad job, I've given you some warnings, you're fired, and they're like, You're firing me because I'm white.
01:15:31.000I'm like, no, I'm firing you because you suck.
01:16:33.000Yeah, well, you know, and then you get bridges that collapse and stuff like that.
01:16:36.000You should see the laws that they have in California when it comes to boards and their regulations there, which is, again, absolutely insane.
01:16:44.000But, you know, there's a lot of data suggesting that, you know, men do work more days in a year on average than women do.
01:16:55.000I think this cycle has happened a lot in history, and what I don't want to happen is for it to become where people resent, let's pick women for instance, or some sort of class of human, female, white, black, you know, whatever, that people, because the companies start to suffer because they're forced to have a certain amount of women and a certain amount of men, and maybe it doesn't matter their qualifications, that people will start to resent those people, those underqualified people that got the position on identity.
01:17:18.000And then, if the system really falls apart, There's going to be massive amounts of resentment, and then you'll start over with this really, like, extreme system where people are like, women aren't the, women, people have actually joked about repealing the 19th Amendment, because they're so frustrated with this stuff.
01:17:33.000Wait, wait, wait, wait, what do you mean, joked?
01:17:35.000It's not, some people haven't even joked, they just say it's, maybe we should strip women's right to vote, because they're so pissed off that women are being forced into positions they're not qualified for, for identity purposes.
01:18:43.000Go to leftists and say, is biological sex a real thing?
01:18:46.000When they say no, be like, okay, would you like to sign this petition to repeal the 19th amendment, which specifically grants voting rights based on sex?
01:18:54.000Then when they sign it, there you go, get your petitions, get your two thirds of states, article 5 convention or whatever, and then you can repeal the 19th.
01:19:02.000But the reality is men and women are different.
01:20:10.000Well, it's just so ironic, you know, because they're looking for these immutable characteristics as diversity, but they won't include diversity of thought, of ideology, of religion, of anything else.
01:21:47.000It doesn't necessarily affirm, because there could be zero women, and the 19th Amendment could still be there, it just wouldn't be affecting anyone.
01:21:54.000See, that could be a situation where they're like, hey, there are no sexes, so let's repeal the redundancy, and then all of a sudden they're like, actually, there are sexes, you guys are gonna have to work to get an amendment in the Constitution to get to vote again.
01:22:29.000She wanted to live, but they wouldn't give her the care she needed so she could live, so she opted to die instead.
01:22:35.000Because the state, California, I'm sorry, this is Canada, I don't mean like the United States, I mean like the government state, said, well, we can't give you the adequate health care you need, but we can kill you.
01:22:49.000From the National Post, woman featured in pro-euthanasia commercial wanted to live, say friends.
01:22:54.000Quote, I feel like I'm falling through the cracks, so if I'm not able to access health care, am I then able to access death care, Hatch said in a CTV interview.
01:23:03.000So when they did the commercial showing this woman about how she wanted to die because she had a connective tissue disorder, what they omitted from that was that she had given interviews and that her friends had pleaded to give her the care she needed because she didn't want to die.
01:23:18.000Now in Canada, they're currently having a debate over whether or not to extend euthanasia to children.
01:23:23.000So, you know, this morning when I see the Project Veritas stuff, I'm like, oh, I'm going to put on some 90s commercials.
01:23:38.000Well, in regards to the story, I just think it's disgusting that it's cheaper to kill someone than to keep them alive.
01:23:46.000And I think that's what it comes down to money.
01:23:49.000And, you know, we've seen that from everything from pharmaceuticals, you know, the Trying to get rid of competition, because if it means that there's a cheaper solution to keep somebody alive affects somebody's pocketbooks, they're willing to try to destroy that competition, which is going to make people pay more in order to stay alive.
01:24:11.000I just think it's altogether disgusting.
01:24:12.000It's like the government has an invested interest in killing people and depopulating them and making sure that they no longer exist.
01:24:20.000It's like almost everything they do, and they incentivize, 3% of all deaths in Canada were people being killed by the state.
01:24:27.000Daily Caller has a very interesting article that's headlined, euthanasia is now a leading cause of death in Canada.
01:26:15.000Maybe they throw you in the back of a wagon, but if you're just going to eat lettuce and just waste the tribe's food and not contribute, at some point, harsh reality takes over.
01:26:23.000But now we're in a society where people are severely obese, severely No, they're doing the opposite of that.
01:26:28.000not even contributing to society because they're so depressed, and they're still like trying
01:26:32.000to support those people and have those people breed and like make more of that, it feels
01:27:03.000They want a UBI, and in some senses, in some jurisdictions, they already have that.
01:27:08.000But what they're doing in Canada seems absolutely draconian, seems absolutely, I would even go as far as to say evil.
01:27:15.000There's a new bill, C-7, that wants to allow minors to be able to be euthanized by state doctors without the consent of their parents.
01:27:24.000That's literally the laws that they're trying to pass there and they're ruling that mentally ill minors are legally allowed to be, you know, euthanized against the will of their parents.
01:27:36.000So, especially with mental health being so just incredibly negative.
01:28:09.000They call the police, the police are like, okay, we'll look into it.
01:28:12.000The next day, someone from the school, from the administration, with the police, show up, knock on the door, and say, we didn't want to tell you this yesterday, because it's none of your business, but yesterday your child opted for medical assistance in dying, and we assisted your child in going to the doctor, receiving a device, which killed them.
01:28:31.000Which assisted them in their own death.
01:28:37.000I mean, talk... I know you've said, like, the violence of, like, watching kids get sterilized against their parents' will.
01:28:44.000Watching a kid get killed against their parents, like, without their parent... I mean, that's complete topsy-turvy, insane.
01:28:51.000If you... Look, I know this is Canada, but with the Veritas stuff we saw last night, It was probably one of the most shocking things I have ever heard.
01:29:02.000It's bad enough we see these books, like we got Genderqueer sent on the table, Ian bought it, and you look at the images in this and you're like, Amazon says this book is for adults only, but they're giving it to grade school kids and putting it in their library.
01:29:16.000Then you hear from Veritas a guy bragging about how he's got adult objects for children with explanations of how to spit on them to insert them and things like that.
01:29:26.000And as soon as I heard that, I said, you can come to me with any political theory, political story, but if you don't think that we're headed towards some kind of civil conflict, then I would just say you're wrong.
01:29:37.000It's one thing when Joe Biden weaponizes the DOJ.
01:29:41.000But when you hear a story like what came out of Veritas, or when you hear these stories about what's going on in Canada, they want to euthanize children without alerting the parents.
01:29:50.000Quite literally, the state, the government of Canada, is proposing, they're debating whether or not they can take your child without telling you and kill them!
01:30:04.000In a way- The government wants, in Canada, wants to kill your child.
01:30:07.000I'm open to- I know- Sorry, just- I know Canada's not the United States, but I'm saying we are dangerously close to that line where people are just gonna say, nope.
01:30:46.000Every single person who survived jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge said as soon as they jumped they regretted jumping and they realized that all of their problems in life could have been solved except having just jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge.
01:31:27.000People aren't getting, there's long lines, there's complaints, people start protesting and they say, okay, we need to figure out how to free up the system.
01:32:33.000The American Loving Freedom Fighting Marine was discarded over the gay black woman basketball player because it was decided by the government that that person was more important than the other person.
01:32:53.000And that's exactly what we would see from government-decided healthcare.
01:32:56.000You know, just think about a young person versus an old person.
01:33:00.000If they made the decision, why would they choose to give the kidney to the older person?
01:33:05.000Because they would probably say, oh, they've got less life to live.
01:34:01.000The pizza box from the 90s from Pizza Hut, and the Pizza Hut guy shows up with a smile on his face, 30 minutes or it's free, and he hands you a little bucket thing for your kid.
01:34:09.000I'm making a Matrix reference, you know?
01:34:11.000Cypher was like, why would you go back into the real world when you can live in the Matrix and taste this delicious steak?
01:34:16.000And they're like, because it's not real in the Matrix.
01:34:20.000You know, maybe there's a... And then what we'll do is, we'll actually, we'll build a big complex on like 50 acres, and we'll create a 90s city, just so that, like, think about it, you know?
01:34:32.000Yeah, yeah, yeah, no cell, well I mean your phone will work because you're there, but it'll be like a theme park, and you'll go in and everything's 90s, it'll be like walking into a 90s downtown, there'll be like a TV store, there'll be cassette tapes... People riding bikes all All over the place.
01:35:05.000You're walking down the street, there's a guy, and then, you know, he waves to you, and then all of a sudden he's carrying a boombox on his shoulder, and then you hear the radio DJ say, you know, and now, the big hit, Inside Out, by Eve Six, sweeping the nation, because people carry boomboxes on their shoulders and that, at least that's what TV tells me.
01:35:24.000And then you just, you won't remember any of the troubles outside of this theme park, and the euthanasia, and all that stuff.
01:35:30.000Okay, I'm kidding, but we gotta go to Super Chats.
01:35:32.000So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com, we're going to have a members-only show coming up for you uncensored!
01:36:31.000It comes from Jacob, the tribe of Jacob.
01:36:33.000But the problem is then, the belief in God and the understanding all kind of infuses into the culture and becomes like their constitution, so it's tough to separate.
01:36:57.000Black Lion Grunt says, Tim, in your 90s hotel, you must have a Nintendo 64 with Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox, and Perfect Dark, and on one of the TV channels, the Frieza saga of Dragon Ball Z. You know it.
01:37:10.000I already have an N64 with all those games, but someone sent me this website.
01:38:05.000I think really that would be a moneymaker.
01:38:07.000Well, the idea is like it's an apartment that looks like from the 90s.
01:38:10.000You turn the TV on and it's playing a bunch of channels like a legitimate Full channel guide of 90s shows, back-to-back, the news, everything's at 5 o'clock, the 5 o'clock news comes on.
01:38:20.000On the fridge will be like a Pizza Hut thing when you call it.
01:38:23.000It just goes to our guys, but then they'll make a pizza for you, put it in the old-school pizza box and bring it with like RC or whatever.
01:38:30.000Dude, if we're talking about four-player GoldenEye, man, rocket launchers in the temple.
01:39:09.000Mimic says, so Libs of TikTok was set to not safe for work for sharing things happening in schools full of children, so it's not safe for work, but totally fine for kids?
01:39:17.000These people make me want to throw up.
01:39:39.000We're sort of inadvertently building out a 24-hour news channel.
01:39:44.000Because, uh, we, you know, we do this show every night, 8 to 10, but then we started, you know, Pop Culture Crisis, Brett and Mary hosting it, and they do 3 to 5, I believe, and now we're doing, um, Gamer Maids at, uh, I think, what was that, 5 to 7 or something like that?
01:40:41.000Okay, Kat Osterhout says, Tim, last night in the after show, you, Ian, and Serge gave the most beautifully balanced scientific explanations for evolution without excluding the divine for the equation.
01:40:53.000Yeah, basically last night we had this really long conversation with Bryson Gray, and I'll just try and summarize.
01:40:59.000I think the position that we all had was, I believe in God.
01:41:05.000There is a system in place where things are happening, and the mechanism by which God created the universe, we only understand a tiny bit of, but the formation of the universe, atoms, particles, that's all the structure created by God, and you watch it, you know, happen, I guess.
01:41:23.000At least, like, we watch it happen in the tiniest bit.
01:41:25.000So, you know, Bryson was saying, He didn't believe in evolution.
01:41:28.000He thought that none of this could be random.
01:41:33.000It's like, everything is happening in this way that leads to this conclusion on purpose.
01:41:38.000Fibonacci sequence, you see it in nature a lot, like this chirality of imbalance of nature, where at some point in the growth process, something will just create a differential.
01:41:46.000Someone left a great comment on TimCast.com on the video about chirality.
01:41:50.000And I think when he was saying, like, why does it become a tree?
01:41:53.000He was more, maybe he really wanted to know how does it become a tree?
01:41:56.000And that's a question of, like, how is it happening?
01:41:58.000Well, I don't know if any of us can really answer that.
01:42:02.000Eric Miller says, Tim, you and Luke pushed fake news.
01:42:05.000Y'all said Bryson Gray was the third rapper on IRL, but you've had Zuby, Rukka Rukka Ali, and I've heard Alex Stein, Primetime99, has some bars as well.
01:42:13.000I demand a retracto alpaca immediately.
01:43:26.000TakingBackToxic says, Libs of TikTok can sue Twitter, and then Elon can fire the SIP team for cause and terminate their golden parachutes and pay out damages from that.
01:43:35.000But didn't he fire them already, you know?
01:44:32.000When the Covington Kid thing happens, we don't just pile on and jump on the crowd of what was wrong.
01:44:39.000We say, hold on there a minute, and we try our best to get it right.
01:44:42.000That also means people are going to call me a milquetoast fence-sitter for not outright just saying, this is what happened, because I would prefer not to, unless I know for sure.
01:44:49.000So sometimes we get things right, predictions.
01:45:09.000You mean, you mean there aren't fifth dimensional aliens who are trying to, you know, there's a, there's more likelihood that there probably is.
01:45:15.000Uh, I was just talking about his like Julian Assange comments before.
01:46:53.000I, um, I was meditating on my roof, and I was reaching out, looking out into space, and like, if there's life out there, I'm gonna drop my magnetic field and let it experience me and connect with me.
01:47:05.000And then I felt this wolf-man hominid creature, like a wolf that had got ahold of psilocybin, And it sensed me, and it knew where I was.
01:47:13.000And I was like, did I just reveal our location to some other species that wants to consume human flesh?
01:48:13.000And I have to give a shout out to our East Valley Republican women because they have this office in the valley, you know, right outside of the desert.
01:48:22.000And they apparently did tens of thousands of ballots that they had Republicans come to the Republican office and ballot harvest right there.
01:48:53.000I'm concerned that we don't overcompensate against what we think is evil, because if you get too extreme with what you think is good, it can become another form of evil.
01:50:12.000And I'm sick of it, and something's gotta be done about it.
01:50:15.000So, these police officers that break their oath to the Constitution, and spit in the faces of the people who wanted to back the blue, need to be reminded that ain't nobody gonna be backing you if you trample on those who are actually supporting you.
01:50:29.000So, so long as no one actually wants to call them out, The cops are gonna be like, I can do whatever I want because conservatives are too stupid to say anything about it, and the left hates me anyway.
01:50:39.000Do, like, local cops, if they disagree with these edicts, do they just get together, like, in private, a bunch of, like, just of the officers and say, we're gonna go to supervisor and just refuse, sir, we're not, we're not doing it?
01:50:50.000I've heard stories of them being like, you can't send me, I won't do that.
01:50:53.000And then they just get a different cop to go do it.
01:50:55.000So they really needed a union of everybody.
01:50:58.000Well, or they need people to finally be like, hey, we're not going to tolerate this.
01:51:02.000Well, officers also have discretion and they decide, you know, how they're going to be implementing a lot of the things that they're told to implement.
01:51:41.000I was like, what if we just did, like, a segment where it's like we dedicate a week to, you know, calling out people doing bad things, be it a politician or... I don't want to just rag on cops for the sake of ragging on cops.
01:54:40.000All right, Vinyl Cover 1987 says, Tim, I'm a detective in a major metropolitan area in Texas, and I'm getting less and less back the blue, despite solving on violent crime cases.
01:55:07.000A lot of people are given money saying, do the billboard, do the billboard, do the billboard.
01:55:11.000It really just depends on, look, you know, I said I want to do it, people are giving me superchats, just keep in mind, I might not be able to.
01:55:19.000The billboard agency might be like, no, no, no, we're not going to get involved in this.
01:55:22.000They probably won't, because money talks and BS walks.
01:55:25.000They usually just say, I'll send it up the chain, see what they say.
01:55:28.000And a lot of the billboards on highways and in cities that are just standalone billboards are owned by those companies, and they will take money for basically anything.
01:55:36.000I've been getting a lot of private messages from police officers who are like, please don't hate me.
01:55:41.000Essentially saying that I don't hate you guys.
01:55:43.000If there's a good officer that actually does help the community and does good, you guys are awesome.
01:55:52.000But when an officer does something wrong and abuses their position of power, they deserve to be called out.
01:55:57.000So I know not to judge, but, you know, we got to call a spade a spade here, and the only way to root out the bad people is to call out the bad.
01:56:09.000Do you think that these cops in the Fredericksburg metropolitan area If we put up like 15 billboards, do you think they would see that and start sweating bullets being like, oh man, I really shouldn't be doing this?
01:56:21.000And it would make them, you know, think twice about their discretion and how they use their authority over the people and what they're going to be doing next time.
01:56:30.000Because, obviously, there's no way an average person could look at the situation and be like, yeah, the cops did the right thing there.
01:57:16.000And do tax breaks or whatever or support them.
01:57:19.000And so therefore they pander to the left because they know they'll always have the support of the right.
01:57:23.000And it's kind of like the black community.
01:57:26.000The left knows that the majority of black citizens are going to vote Democratic, and so therefore, they don't really have to do anything to make the black community happy because they know that the majority of black citizens are going to vote for them regardless.
01:57:39.000And so the only way to have neutrality or to have police or corporations or politicians actually fight for us is if we move away from being left or right, but going towards the center, because then everybody is going to have to earn our support.
01:57:58.000And I think that would actually make society much safer and more equitable.
01:58:02.000I don't want to forget, so I literally just texted my ad agent, like, the ad salesperson.
01:58:09.000It's a different company, it's not our company.
01:58:10.000It's like, the person who does the sales, I just literally texted them, like, you got any inventory in Fredericksburg?
01:58:15.000I don't want to forget, because I think we have to do it.
01:58:18.000Maybe we acknowledge an officer that did really well, too.
01:58:23.000So you're bashing the people that should be bashed, and then you're acknowledging... It's hard to do, and it's really expensive.
01:58:31.000My thing is, do we offer a path to redemption first?
01:58:34.000Like, apologize to this man, and say you were wrong.
01:58:40.000Otherwise, we're going to call you out for being a dirty cop.
01:58:43.000I think I think that would be a reasonable way to start.
01:58:49.000First, see if there's any remorse for what they did.
01:58:52.000But if they're like, no, I did the right thing, I didn't do anything wrong, and I'm gonna do it again, if in the same situation, then yes, billboard, baby.
01:59:14.000So a lot of people have asked about the fact-checking non-profit because it was like two years ago I said we're gonna do this thing and everyone's like yeah right and I'm like we're gonna do it.
01:59:22.000It takes like two and a half years to get certified and get all the paperwork and everything so the company exists but we're waiting for a non-profit certification because we're trying to get a 501c3 not a c4.
01:59:32.000This means it can't be political it's just going to do fact-checking.
02:00:04.000Because billboards are rather ineffective these days, and they struggle to sell the inventory, because people are like, I can buy on Facebook, I get it right there on their phone, I don't need to be up there.
02:00:12.000But this will get everyone talking about it.
02:00:14.000And there'll be a lot of media reports.
02:00:16.000And this means the billboard companies are going to have guaranteed sales, and they're going to be like, whatever brings money into our industry in a dying, you know, medium.
02:00:34.000I think he did a much better job than I. But, you know, religious conversations can be frustrating sometimes, but I think they're absolutely awesome.
02:00:45.000So, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become a member over at TimCast.com.
02:00:55.000Sign up, we're gonna have a members-only show coming up for you.
02:00:58.000Should be live around 11 p.m., and it's usually not so family-friendly and a little bit spicy.
02:01:03.000You can follow the show at TimCastIRL on Instagram, we have clips.
02:01:08.000You can follow me personally at TimCast everywhere, and go follow at TimCastNews on Twitter, because we had Elad Eliyahu, he's our ground reporter, At the New York Times during the strike, filming all the stuff, and he routinely goes out and asks real questions of these people.
02:01:24.000He doesn't do any of the gotcha stuff.
02:01:26.000None of that phony, make a person look dumb.
02:01:28.000He actually asked the New York Times Union some legitimate questions about their concerns.
02:01:49.000For anybody that's more politically minded, I am working to make sure that we have new leadership at the Republican National Committee.
02:01:56.000I think six years of losses under our current chairwoman means it's time for change.
02:02:01.000And that's why I'm endorsing and supporting Harmeet Dhillon for the next RNC chairwoman position.
02:02:07.000And she's already indicated that one of her first roles would be to hire somebody like me.
02:02:12.000And of course, I want to look at the stipulations and what would be contingent on my working for such an organization.
02:02:19.000But that shows understanding that it's important to bring in the grassroots and to not only look at the consulting class or listen to the big donors, but listen to us.
02:02:33.000And immediately, I'm already working towards going to Louisiana.
02:02:38.000And Kentucky to flip those governorships from blue to red, as well as working on my state of Virginia to make sure that with Governor Glenn Youngkin, if we take the state Senate, if we take the House of Delegates, we're going to be able to pass legislation at the state level to buck against the federal government.
02:02:54.000Because all these conversations we're having are wonderful, but we need to actually implement those policies into law to affect real change.
02:03:03.000And I'm also going to be focusing on Jersey.
02:03:06.000So if anybody's interested in helping, please slide into my DMs in the most wholesome of manner.
02:03:12.000And you can find me at Scott Pressler, S-C-O-T-T-P-R-E-S-L-E-R.
02:03:17.000I'm also on True Social, Getter, Telegram, Facebook, Gab, and Parler.
02:03:22.000Andy Ngo tweeted something out about a half an hour ago that I have to mention before we go, that the head of Twitter's strategic response team, guess where he worked immediately before Twitter?
02:04:39.000He's supported on some of my work, and I'm just glad, by the way, that I was not on that episode of Tim Pool, because I saw that, and it was 666.
02:04:59.000I'm going to think of you seeing the flower of life and meditating in a wolf spirit, and it's just going to do it for me from now on for the rest of my life.
