Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Ukraine Calls For Pre-Emptive Strikes On Russia To "Prevent" Nuclear War w-Joel Berry

00:00:00.000 So that's you.

00:00:29.000 You're welcome.

00:00:44.000 And then everybody was like, whoa, that's a little overboard.

00:00:48.000 And Russia was like, yo, that's a little overboard. 0.91

00:00:51.000 And then he comes out and he's like, no, no, no, I meant to say sanctions, impose sanctions.

00:00:56.000 No, because we've already been told that if Russia uses nuclear weapons, it will be full-scale conventional warfare from NATO.

00:01:05.000 So that's not what would happen.

00:01:07.000 Sanctions?

00:01:07.000 No.

00:01:08.000 No, Zelensky, I think, was actually saying it's time for NATO to strike Russia.

00:01:13.000 Because he wants war.

00:01:14.000 He wants World War 3. 0.89

00:01:15.000 I guess he's saying, if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me.

00:01:17.000 There have already been a bunch of Russian officials.

00:01:19.000 I shouldn't say bunch.

00:01:20.000 A couple.

00:01:21.000 That have called on Russia to start using low-yield nuclear weapons.

00:04:11.000 Go check out his Twitter for sure.

00:04:12.000 Let's get into it.

00:04:13.000 I just did one last edit.

00:04:15.000 Joe Biden is a bad president.

00:04:18.000 And it just gave me a warning.

00:04:19.000 It was like, this is your last edit.

00:04:20.000 Stop.

00:04:21.000 Five edits total.

00:04:22.000 I guess.

00:04:23.000 Is that five?

00:04:24.000 No, I think it's, yeah, it's five edits.

00:04:26.000 So it started with Joe Biden is a bad president.

00:04:28.000 Then Joe Biden is a good president. 0.88

00:04:30.000 Joe Biden is a child sniffer.

00:04:32.000 Joe Biden is responsible for high gas prices.

00:04:34.000 Retweet this if you think the noble rooster is the greatest of God's creations.

00:04:38.000 After people, of course.

00:04:39.000 And then finally back to Joe Biden is a bad president.

00:04:42.000 And then when you tried to edit it again it said, please stop, or did it stop you?

00:04:45.000 Please stop, gosh. 0.98

00:04:47.000 You can't do it anymore.

00:04:48.000 You can no longer edit.

00:04:50.000 Five edits in 30 minutes, that's the rule.

00:04:53.000 All right, ladies and gentlemen, here's the news.

00:04:55.000 I hope you're sitting down for this one.

00:04:57.000 Zelensky calls for preemptive strikes from NATO to keep Russia from using nukes.

00:05:02.000 Uh-huh.

00:05:02.000 Okay.

00:05:03.000 Whatever, man.

00:05:05.000 Zelensky says it's time for World War III. 0.98

00:05:08.000 Everyone should burn in a rain of nuclear hellfire.

00:05:11.000 He didn't really say that, but he may as well have said that.

00:05:14.000 Volodymyr Zelensky called on NATO to conduct preemptive strikes against Russian targets to prevent their use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine, which literally would do the opposite.

00:05:24.000 Okay, that's it.

00:05:25.000 I kind of feel like he's actually just saying, you know, it's the waiting I can't stand. 0.76

00:05:29.000 Just burn it all to the ground.

00:05:31.000 Because no one, no sane, rational person thinks a preemptive strike against Russia would result in anything other than them launching nuclear weapons. 0.97

00:05:40.000 So.

00:05:41.000 Zelensky was throwing like people and like I think he shut down TV stations three the three largest TV stations in Ukraine.

00:05:49.000 I think he had him shut down.

00:05:50.000 Well, they were speaking out against and political parties as well that were against him.

00:05:53.000 He's not a good guy.

00:05:54.000 He's maybe was an actor.

00:05:55.000 So he's got some charisma, but I don't think he's like a benevolent president.

00:05:58.000 Well during the time of war all the rules are out of the window.

00:06:02.000 So, you know, we have to understand we're not fighting for democracy here.

00:06:05.000 This is not a democracy.

00:06:07.000 He shut those TV stations down before any Russian I believe it was because of the war and the emergency powers that the government got.

00:06:15.000 But again, all rules, everything's off the table once there's a war, and that's how he's treating the situation.

00:06:21.000 His statements today, I mean, he's trying to, you know, walk them back as much as he can.

00:06:26.000 He's trying to say that he wanted to really call for preemptive sanctions, but there's a big distinction between preemptive strikes and preemptive sanctions, and he was specifically talking to an Australian think tank, the Lowley Institution, And these are big statements the Russians are coming out and saying these statements risk another World War and these are very dangerous statements and this is the trajectory that we are on unless there's some actual de-escalation detente and some real civil conversations that could actually pull us away from this lunacy.

00:06:58.000 You mean like Elon Musk?

00:06:59.000 Yes!

00:07:00.000 At least he's trying.

00:07:01.000 His proposal wasn't perfect, but at least he tried.

00:07:04.000 At least he started the conversation, and now lunatic Lindsey Graham, the chicken hawk that he is, is saying that he's going to be taking away his tax credits, which he never got for his Tesla company. 1.00

00:07:14.000 He never even had.

00:07:15.000 Someone's got to try.

00:07:16.000 Someone's got to try to deescalate.

00:07:18.000 I guess I also wonder why is he asking NATO to do a preemptive strike?

00:07:23.000 Haven't we sent Zelensky like 50 billion dollars worth of weapons?

00:07:26.000 Why isn't he doing it?

00:07:27.000 There are three Democrats who have now publicly stated that the greatest national security objective for the United States is to defeat Russia in Ukraine.

00:07:37.000 They came out and said it.

00:07:39.000 Yo, we're at war with Russia.

00:07:40.000 They're just playing this game.

00:07:41.000 It's not for Russia's benefit. 0.59

00:07:42.000 Russia knows we're at war with them.

00:07:44.000 It's because it's illegal.

00:07:46.000 Because what they're doing violates the constitution.

00:07:49.000 They did not get congressional approval for this.

00:07:51.000 So they're going to dance around.

00:07:53.000 Like, you know, people ask, you've got U.S.

00:07:57.000 personnel, veterans, on the ground in Ukraine.

00:07:59.000 We now have confirmation from the intercept that U.S.

00:08:02.000 boots are actually doing special operations on the ground.

00:08:05.000 At what point are we just like, okay, dudes, we get it, you declared war on Russia.

00:08:09.000 But that's the game.

00:08:11.000 Vladimir Putin knows full well what NATO and the U.S.

00:08:14.000 are doing there.

00:08:15.000 They're lying, saying it's just veterans being supplied and trained by us and then delivering weapons and training to the Ukrainians.

00:08:21.000 The only reason they're saying that is because they're not legally allowed to do it, and they did.

00:08:25.000 So criminals! 0.92

00:08:26.000 Criminals in the government.

00:08:29.000 That's new, right?

00:08:30.000 Yeah, that never happened before.

00:08:33.000 Musk made another statement today when he was attacked by the Kiev Post.

00:08:37.000 He said, look, I love Ukraine, but not World War III.

00:08:41.000 And I think that's the sentiment for the majority of people right now looking at this situation rationally.

00:08:46.000 As we're not really, you know, this conversation, it's shared about online, but when we look at the mainline coverage, this is not really talked about as much, as significantly.

00:08:57.000 The corporate media right now is focusing on two Russians that swam to Alaska to avoid the mobilization.

00:09:03.000 That seems to be the biggest kind of story that you see on the main headline television networks.

00:09:08.000 But you don't really hear about the dangerous implications.

00:09:10.000 You don't really hear anti-war voices.

00:09:13.000 You don't really hear anything contrary other than, we need war. 0.68

00:09:16.000 Let's play chicken nuclear war because it's fun somehow. 0.83

00:09:19.000 And that's insane.

00:09:20.000 For the record, Zelensky shut down three TV stations in February of 2021, a year before Putin invaded.

00:09:26.000 And they were like, Pro-Russia, according to him.

00:09:32.000 So they've really been at like a pseudo-war since 2014.

00:09:35.000 I mean, since Putin annexed Crimea, that was pretty overt.

00:09:38.000 You guys know that the U.S.

00:09:39.000 had an office of censorship during World War II.

00:09:42.000 Silence accelerates victory was their slogan.

00:09:45.000 The motto, I guess.

00:09:46.000 Well, we put Japanese in internment camps, too. 0.53

00:09:48.000 We did a lot of stuff.

00:09:49.000 you know, as a part of the world. Well, information is key and, you know, many times there was

00:09:54.000 accusations against Germans, there was accusations against Japanese citizens that were providing

00:09:58.000 allegedly information to the enemy, and the United States took it as far as to literally set up

00:10:05.000 camps for Japanese people to be interned in, which was a step too far.

00:10:11.000 And I think, you know, during these situations, during emergency situations, we should always be careful not to take a step too far.

00:10:17.000 And we have done it time and time again.

00:10:19.000 I'm watching this video or I have been of like volunteers on the ground in Ukraine.

00:10:22.000 American guy goes over with a helmet cam and he's recording it as he's running around fighting like they're in combat and they don't know who they're fighting.

00:10:29.000 They don't know where the enemy is.

00:10:31.000 They're just being told by a squad leader who's like a French guy or like some Ukrainian dude.

00:10:35.000 They got a French.

00:10:36.000 So they just go place, they wait, and then they're like, if someone tells them, speaking of information being important, if someone says, that's the enemy, fire, they'll just start shooting.

00:10:43.000 They don't know.

00:10:44.000 Yep.

00:10:45.000 Yeah.

00:10:45.000 How many Ukrainian citizens do you think joined with the Russians?

00:10:49.000 Something that they don't talk about in Western media, but of course they did, especially in the East.

00:10:53.000 They probably said, you know, we're with, you know, Russia on this one.

00:10:57.000 Otherwise, I mean, they wouldn't have, it's just, I'll put it, I'll leave it at that.

00:11:02.000 My question, and the reason I bring that up is, do you believe the Western media that Ukraine is winning?

00:11:08.000 This is, I think, a topic worth discussing because we might see opposing viewpoints on this as we were kind of talking about this subject before the show.

00:11:17.000 There's a lot of circumstantial evidence, there's the understanding that there's a lot of propaganda, a lot of disinformation, but we also have to understand that the Ukrainians were practicing and drilling for this ever since 2014 on their territory.

00:11:30.000 They have the latest technology they have night vision they have thermal they have satellite technology they have GPS coordinated weapons systems they have training from CIA covert ops special forces soldiers that were there since 2014 setting up the groundwork for this invasion as the US corporate media was literally cheering on and setting the groundwork to make everyone hate Russia so this has been in the works for a very long time and I do believe.

00:11:55.000 From just my initial perspectives, from what I've seen, and I know people are going to attack me.

00:11:59.000 I got attacked last week because I said the Ukrainians are going to take the city of Limon.

00:12:03.000 The Ukrainians did take the city of Limon. 0.54

00:12:05.000 But from my perspective, looking at the Telegram channel, seeing footage from the Russians and the Ukrainians, it does seem, especially right now, that the Ukrainians are getting back a lot of the territory and are having some significant victories against what looks like a disorganized force with the Russians.

00:12:18.000 That's just my perspective and my opinion, and I could be wrong, and I know I'm going to get criticized for it.

00:12:23.000 I don't believe the propaganda, but it's also not the Ukrainians. 1.00

00:12:26.000 It's NATO.

00:12:27.000 NATO is winning back these cities.

00:12:29.000 Yeah.

00:12:30.000 And also Russia's not fully engaged, as far as I can tell from what I've heard.

00:12:34.000 I mean, they have not committed their entire military.

00:12:36.000 He just raised another 300,000 people drafted.

00:12:39.000 I think they drafted.

00:12:40.000 Was that their first mobilization?

00:12:44.000 Well, in the mobilization, there's also a secret paragraph that hasn't been released to the general public.

00:12:49.000 But also, Russia is facing stiff declines in their population, just like the majority of the Western world.

00:12:55.000 Taiwan, the Ministry of Defense actually came out today and also said that they have a huge problem because of the low birth rates.

00:13:03.000 They're not going to have anyone to join the military soon.

00:13:06.000 So, Russia is also facing a very similar problem.

00:13:12.000 How many people are fleeing?

00:13:13.000 That's contested.

00:13:14.000 There's a lot of disinformation.

00:13:15.000 There's a lot of propaganda.

00:13:17.000 And a lot of it is just centered around Russia bad.

00:13:21.000 They're losing it 100%.

00:13:22.000 That's not the 100% truth out of the situation.

00:13:26.000 But again, we're in a war.

00:13:27.000 The reporting has been just propaganda.

00:13:29.000 And that's exactly what it is from now on.

00:13:31.000 Well, do you think that it's possible that the fact that Putin is talking about nuclear weapons is a sign that maybe he is losing?

00:13:39.000 Yeah.

00:13:40.000 I think that's a better indication to me than anything coming out of the media.

00:13:43.000 I don't know if he'd be talking like that if he weren't losing ground.

00:13:48.000 Though to the degree that he's engaged.

00:13:50.000 I mean, the question is, has Russia utilized all of their forces to the maximum capability?

00:13:56.000 Obviously no, because they have nukes.

00:13:58.000 And then the question is, okay, well, aside from nukes then, are they using their ground forces?

00:14:02.000 Well, no, they just mobilized another 300,000.

00:14:04.000 They could certainly conscript more people, so they've not even maximized in terms of ground troops.

00:14:08.000 And then it's, If they really wanted to declare full-scale war, I mean, they don't even have to use ICBMs.

00:14:16.000 There's a bunch of weapons they could and haven't used.

00:14:19.000 There was video going out of them dropping incendiary bombs on a city.

00:14:22.000 Why have they not done that in larger numbers on other cities?

00:14:25.000 Because it looks like Russia is actually restrained right now.

00:14:28.000 It looks like there's a lot of supply shortages.

00:14:30.000 It looks like a lot of their main routes have been met with a lot of resistance.

00:14:36.000 And there's also a lot of video footage showing, you know, Russians fighting with, you know, regular red book bags, fighting with no armor at all.

00:14:47.000 Fighting with old equipment so again how much of how much of that is propaganda how much of it is real but I've seen similar reports and similar similar videos from.

00:14:56.000 The Russian side showing them fighting having victories but but still a lot of them are under equipped a lot of them don't have any body.

00:15:03.000 I think there was an expectation that they would move in from the east and that the people in Ukraine would open their arms and be like, kind of like what happened in Crimea, be like, well, thank you.

00:15:11.000 Now we're liberated.

00:15:12.000 We're back as part of Russia. 0.74

00:15:13.000 They used to be part of Russia before the Soviet Union was split up.

00:15:18.000 All of Ukraine. 0.71

00:15:22.000 Underestimated the amount of psychological propaganda that had been proliferated in Ukraine and pro-West, pro-liberal economic order, and there was just massive psychological resistance.

00:15:33.000 A lot of people thought Zelensky was going to flee as soon as the invasion was announced, but he was like, no, I'm staying.

00:15:39.000 Probably because psychologically he was prepared because of all this NATO influence.

00:15:43.000 But also, Russia hasn't fully declared it as a war.

00:15:46.000 They're describing it as a limited military operation.

00:15:49.000 So we have to understand, attacks on the infrastructure weren't made by the Russians.

00:15:55.000 The Russians could take out the electricity, the power, the water, and a lot of other Especially with their control of the nuclear facility inside of Ukraine.

00:16:03.000 They haven't done that yet.

00:16:05.000 So I think they're still holding back some cards that will make a greater impact on this conflict.

00:16:09.000 Not just nuclear warheads but a declaration of a full all-out war.

00:16:14.000 Let me jump to these stories here.

00:16:15.000 The first from Daily Mail.

00:16:16.000 Quote, use low-yield nuclear weapons.

00:16:19.000 Russia-appointed official in Kursan calls for tough action from Moscow and urges the country defense minister Sergei Shoigu to shoot himself amid frustration at Ukrainian fightback.

00:16:29.000 We also have this story from Reuters.

00:16:32.000 Kadyrov says Russia should use low-yield nuclear weapon.

00:16:37.000 So they're outright saying, use the nukes.

00:16:40.000 This is interesting because I feel like nuclear war, man, if there's anything that would make a great reset happen, it would be nuclear bombs dropping.

00:16:50.000 But the question is, is this, you know, what's happening in Ukraine going to affect the entire planet, or is it going to stay regional?

00:16:56.000 Is it going to become something that forces the West to get involved, or does Ukraine just get, you know, win or lose?

00:17:03.000 I don't know.

00:17:04.000 When nukes come into play, I don't see how the whole world doesn't get involved.

00:17:08.000 I mean, I guess one thing that does make me nervous is, where's China in all this?

00:17:11.000 When the nukes start flying, what does China do?

00:17:14.000 Sit back and laugh?

00:17:15.000 Well, yeah, they could, I guess, and just watch us commit suicide.

00:17:18.000 And it's a huge part of Eastern Russia.

00:17:20.000 Yeah.

00:17:20.000 You know, watch out for that.

00:17:21.000 Well, Kissinger had some interesting comments about China and how they're looking at everything that's happening right now.

00:17:26.000 We also have to understand that Ukraine and China were very big trading partners, and there's a lot of economic interests that the Chinese have inside of Ukraine.

00:17:34.000 So this could be one reason why they kind of stepped back a little bit, but according to Henry Kissinger, the Chinese gave the Russians a blank check when it came to this conflict right now.

00:17:46.000 I'm not really seeing it, but I think it's in their interest for themselves to be like, you know what?

00:17:52.000 We're just going to take a step back as you two guys beat each other up, and we're going to rise as a potential superpower, or try to rise as a potential superpower.

00:18:00.000 Well, that's the art of war, right? 0.56

00:18:01.000 Never interrupt your enemies when they're destroying each other.

00:18:04.000 Yes, and there's been a lot of historical tensions between Russia and China.

00:18:08.000 They have started to work closer together, especially with the United States becoming more aggressive against both of them.

00:18:15.000 They started to share a lot of military secrets.

00:18:17.000 They started to build a lot of military infrastructure together.

00:18:21.000 But historically, they've been at odds, even when it comes to specific territory that they were threatening each other with just a few decades ago.

00:18:30.000 The Intercept report that I saw earlier, I think Michael Tracy was tweeting about it. 0.98

00:18:35.000 I mean, that was just a kick in the balls. 0.97

00:18:36.000 What was it? 0.98

00:18:37.000 That the U.S. 0.57

00:18:38.000 is operating officially.

00:18:39.000 U.S.

00:18:40.000 Special Operations and Intelligence are operating in Ukraine.

00:18:43.000 So, like, that's it.

00:18:45.000 This is the game they play.

00:18:47.000 The U.S.

00:18:48.000 and NATO, they didn't come out outright and say, we're going to engage in war with Russia.

00:18:52.000 They dropped news periodically.

00:18:53.000 First, it was like, well, some people volunteered.

00:18:55.000 It just so happens they're Americans.

00:18:56.000 Then it's, well, we're giving weapons to, you know, Poland and it's being delivered to Ukraine, but it's not us. 0.69

00:19:01.000 And then the U.S.

00:19:03.000 intelligence helped Ukraine blow up the Russian Black Sea Fleet flagship and then said, oh, well, we didn't tell them to do that.

00:19:12.000 Now the U.S.

00:19:13.000 is saying, well, yeah, we do have special operations on the ground that are ours and our intelligence has been operating there.

00:19:20.000 I'm going to tell you this.

00:19:22.000 They're blaming Ukraine for the assassination of Dugin's daughter.

00:19:27.000 How long?

00:19:28.000 Give it a week, two weeks, a month before they're like, oh yeah, we actually ordered that.

00:19:31.000 Or at first they're going to say, we gave them the information on where Dugan would be, but we didn't know that would happen.

00:19:37.000 And then a month later it's going to be like, yeah, it was us.

00:19:38.000 So basically what the United States is doing is handing someone a gun and saying, we're going to point it exactly where you're going to kill this opponent.

00:19:46.000 And the only thing that they're not doing is pulling the trigger.

00:19:48.000 That's not there anymore.

00:19:50.000 But some people, as you know, you would argue, they're doing even more than just pulling the trigger.

00:19:58.000 Here's what it is.

00:19:59.000 All right.

00:20:00.000 So, Joel, you're fighting with your neighbor.

00:20:02.000 And so I'm like, all right, here's what we're going to do.

00:20:05.000 I'm going to give you this glass bottle.

00:20:07.000 All right.

00:20:08.000 Now, you got that.

00:20:09.000 But you know what?

00:20:10.000 Actually, Luke, It used to work for me.

00:20:15.000 Luke, you go do it.

00:20:16.000 That's basically what it is.

00:20:17.000 It starts with people are like, they used to be soldiers for the US Army, but now it's just their choice to go there.

00:20:23.000 Right, right, right.

00:20:24.000 And then they have weapons that get supplied by NATO.

00:20:26.000 And then eventually they're just like, yeah, they're paying us.

00:20:29.000 So we're involved.

00:20:30.000 At what point does everyone figure out that just, you know, when do we eliminate the middleman and just go direct at each other?

00:20:36.000 I mean, that's what I'm saying, you know, look, if Joe Biden wants my respect, he'll come out and be like, my fellow Americans, of course we're at war with Russia. 1.00

00:20:46.000 What, are you stupid? 1.00

00:20:48.000 You don't think U.S. 1.00

00:20:49.000 boots on the ground, funding, supplies, intelligence, and war?

00:20:52.000 You think that does not imply that we are fighting right?

00:20:55.000 What are you thinking?

00:20:56.000 Yeah.

00:20:56.000 But these, you know, I think what you get from Twitter and from the media is you can really see these like psychotic fascist journalists will say whatever to keep regular people trapped in the dark.

00:21:09.000 Right.

00:21:09.000 They'll call you fake news, they'll lie, they'll push conspiracy theories and then claim it's you doing that.

00:21:15.000 Projection is the only thing they have and the best part is they accuse everyone else of projecting when it's quite literally them projecting.

00:21:20.000 Yeah.

00:21:21.000 They're the fascists supporting the machine and supporting the war.

00:21:23.000 Now we're facing the prospect of getting hit by a nuke.

00:21:26.000 So I guess, you know, for you guys, have you guys bought your potassium iodide yet?

00:21:31.000 I had mine many years ago as I was warning about this on my YouTube channel saying, hey, we're headed towards a conflict with Russia.

00:21:37.000 Like 10 years ago, I was making videos about this.

00:21:40.000 I was like, geopolitically, everything's aligning, everything's shaping up.

00:21:42.000 As of course, this is not the first proxy war that happened between the East and the West.

00:21:46.000 We look at Syria, we look at Libya, we look at Afghanistan in the 1980s.

00:21:51.000 The United States and the Russians have always been at odds with each other, always financing the enemy of the enemy, and this is nothing new, but now I think we have really escalated it to a dangerous situation that implicates everyone in it, including everyone that's not even fighting. 0.50

00:22:08.000 Innocent human beings are being affected by this in more ways than one, not just financially.

00:22:13.000 But what about other countries?

00:22:14.000 Like Turkey, who's a military superpower.

00:22:16.000 They're a nuclear superpower.

00:22:18.000 They're a Russian neighbor.

00:22:20.000 They're a NATO member.

00:22:22.000 Yeah, and they're in NATO, which is very strange.

00:22:23.000 But Russia has no Mediterranean access, with or without the annexation they're trying to approve, without Turkey.

00:22:29.000 So they have to be allies for this war to resolve in Russia's favor.

00:22:34.000 But they're in NATO.

00:22:35.000 What the hell's going on?

00:22:36.000 They have nuclear weapons.

00:22:37.000 What the hell is going on?

00:22:38.000 Oh, it's simple.

00:22:40.000 Klaus Schwab had a meeting with Putin and Biden and said, we need to great reset everything.

00:22:44.000 Let's pretend to have a war. 0.89

00:22:46.000 And they're like, okay, that'll give us an excuse to launch the nukes.

00:22:48.000 And then I'm kidding, by the way.

00:22:50.000 Hey, man, I can only say that Klaus Schwab is probably sitting back being like, this war is very good. 0.66

00:22:55.000 This war was inevitable.

00:22:57.000 We need order.

00:22:59.000 Order.

00:23:00.000 Well, and how much of this, too, is driven just by the military industry?

00:23:05.000 I mean, have we gotten to the point where just we always need some kind of a war?

00:23:09.000 We had Iraq.

00:23:10.000 We had Afghanistan.

00:23:11.000 We got out of Afghanistan.

00:23:12.000 Now it's Russia. 0.90

00:23:14.000 After Russia, is it going to be something else?

00:23:15.000 I mean, is it just a continual war machine where we're feeding this beast?

00:23:19.000 That's what Eisenhower told us it was going to be.

00:23:21.000 And after Vietnam in the early 70s, there was just a slew of military actions.

00:23:26.000 I'm very in the dark about it.

00:23:28.000 They're so obfuscated in the Balkans, in like, obviously Serbia, Kosovo, in the Clinton years.

00:23:37.000 I remember hearing about Serbia and Kosovo and Bosnia, like there was just bombs going off.

00:23:41.000 I never knew what was what, who was who.

00:23:43.000 I just knew that we were involved in all this death.

00:23:47.000 Yeah, I think without conflict and places to blow up bombs with some sort of reason, whether it's fake or real, then the military-industrial complex will cease to function.

00:23:57.000 Yes, sometimes I wonder if all this money being sent to Ukraine is kind of like to help replace the lost revenue from leaving Afghanistan in the Middle East.

00:24:05.000 It's like a hundred billion dollars on the books that have been sent over there in the middle of an economic recession.

00:24:10.000 They've sent a hundred billion dollars to some country that we're not even allies with.

00:24:15.000 And then what happens?

00:24:17.000 They buy weapons from who?

00:24:19.000 God knows!

00:24:20.000 The Chinese, the Russians, I don't know where they're getting the weapons.

00:24:23.000 Probably us!

00:24:23.000 And they're buying oil from us.

00:24:25.000 It's our own money being given right back to us.

00:24:28.000 There's a reason, there's a saying that war is a racket.

00:24:31.000 Because it is.

00:24:32.000 And the only winners of the war are the people who finance the wars.

00:24:36.000 The people who, of course, bankroll the sides and sell the arms and the weapons.

00:24:41.000 Everyone else loses.

00:24:42.000 There's no real winners in the war other than the people who profit off of it.

00:24:45.000 Military-industrial complex grifting.

00:24:48.000 For them, it's like, we need to justify why we need more weapons.

00:24:51.000 Let's get mad at somebody and claim they're bad.

00:24:53.000 And then go fight them.

00:24:56.000 Well, first, the recent US policy is, hey, we're going to give these guys a bunch of weapons.

00:25:02.000 And then a couple years later, these are the bad guys.

00:25:04.000 We've got to fight these guys with all these weapons.

00:25:07.000 Saddam Hussein, he has chemical weapons. 0.95

00:25:09.000 That we gave them to fight the Iranians. 1.00

00:25:11.000 The Syrians, they have all these weapons. 0.99

00:25:13.000 They have all these Humvees and trucks with American businesses on the side of them. 0.65

00:25:16.000 We've got to go fight them. 0.99

00:25:17.000 They're going to attack and kill us. 1.00

00:25:18.000 The Libyans, you know, Gaddafi, he's a very bad guy. 0.99

00:25:21.000 We sold him a bunch of weapons, but he's a bad guy now.

00:25:24.000 We've got to take him out because he wants to do a gold dinar.

00:25:27.000 So it goes on and on and on.

00:25:29.000 I can never stop.

00:25:29.000 The Taliban, yeah, we've got to fight the Russians in Afghanistan.

00:25:32.000 We've got to give them all the weapons. 0.97

00:25:34.000 Oh no, the Taliban, they're bad now. 0.97

00:25:36.000 Yeah, we gotta go fight them.

00:25:37.000 I tweeted out a video of this guy who went to Afghanistan recently.

00:25:40.000 This video on YouTube is called Tourism and Taliban Controlled Afghanistan.

00:25:43.000 He went, he interviewed Taliban. 0.70

00:25:45.000 He's like, what do you think of Joe Biden?

00:25:47.000 And the big, the older Taliban member who's doing the speaking was like, we are, Joe Biden did a great job by leaving.

00:25:53.000 We hope he never comes back.

00:25:54.000 You can see he left us all this equipment that the Taliban is driving around on right now. 0.99

00:25:58.000 We're very grateful for Joe Biden.

00:26:00.000 Oh yeah, they love him.

00:26:01.000 He's got a 98% approval rating over there.

00:26:04.000 They call it Independence Day, the day 9-11 when we pulled, when we surrendered.

00:26:08.000 Really?

00:26:09.000 The Taliban calls it Independence Day.

00:26:10.000 Wow.

00:26:11.000 When we surrendered.

00:26:11.000 The day that we surrendered to the Taliban, yeah.

00:26:14.000 Wow.

00:26:15.000 Thanks Joe Biden.

00:26:16.000 Yeah, we just spent nine trillion dollars making sure that we get, you know, we replace the Taliban with the Taliban. 0.94

00:26:22.000 Money well spent.

00:26:23.000 Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.

00:26:25.000 Oh boy.

00:26:26.000 We got him!

00:26:27.000 Hunter Biden.

00:26:29.000 Daily Mail reports federal agents have enough evidence to charge Hunter Biden with tax crimes and making false statement while buying gun.

00:26:35.000 Bombshell report claims decision lies in the hands of U.S.

00:26:38.000 attorney in Delaware.

00:26:40.000 In Delaware?

00:26:41.000 Perfect!

00:26:42.000 They know all about the Bidens.

00:26:43.000 I'm sure we're going to see Hunter held to account.

00:26:47.000 And then, hey man, the dominoes begin falling. 0.98

00:26:49.000 Because once they get Hunter, he's going to squeal like a pig. 0.79

00:26:52.000 And he's going to be like, my dad did it all. 1.00

00:26:54.000 He's a pedo. 0.96

00:26:54.000 He's pedo Peter. 0.96

00:26:55.000 Here's the laptop.

00:26:56.000 Here's proof.

00:26:57.000 And then Joe Biden's going down.

00:26:59.000 Mark my words.

00:27:00.000 On November 12th, the arrests are... No, nothing's going to happen.

00:27:04.000 I have a hypothesis.

00:27:04.000 Quite literally nothing's going to happen.

00:27:05.000 Hunter Biden's going to laugh at it.

00:27:06.000 Joe Biden's going to do nothing.

00:27:08.000 And even if they did charge Hunter, Joe Biden would be like, here's a blanket pardon, son.

00:27:12.000 Free to go. 1.00

00:27:12.000 Go buy a hooker. 1.00

00:27:13.000 I thought you were reading the latest Q drop there for a second. 1.00

00:27:15.000 I was like, did he drop something?

00:27:17.000 This, I think, is a way to scare Americans into paying their taxes and not buying guns.

00:27:22.000 I think they're going to make Hunter a poster boy for tax evasion and illegal gun handling.

00:27:28.000 They're going to give him a slap on the wrist, but enough that's like, People are super afraid, they don't want to cross the government because the government is looking out for tax and gun crimes.

00:27:36.000 That is interesting because of all the things they could have got him on, to choose those things.

00:27:42.000 I mean, those are relatively minor crimes compared to everything that he's done with human trafficking, crack, all that, the deals with China.

00:27:50.000 Tax evasion?

00:27:50.000 Buying a gun?

00:27:51.000 That seems odd.

00:27:54.000 Of course, they want to scare people with it right now, and they're willing to throw Hunter under the bus, whoever they are.

00:27:58.000 But like you said, Biden could pardon the guy.

00:28:00.000 He probably won't.

00:28:01.000 He's probably gonna be like, well, he needs to, you know, we got to make an example out of Hunter, but you'll be okay, Hunter.

00:28:06.000 No, he'll do it.

00:28:06.000 You think he'll just pardon him straight up?

00:28:08.000 Yeah, because Joe is not going to be, I don't believe Joe would be, was going to run for president in 2024.

00:28:15.000 He's going to be like, I don't care.

00:28:16.000 I'm not going to jail.

00:28:17.000 If he pardons him, it will set an example that like paying your taxes isn't that important.

00:28:21.000 You think he cares about that?

00:28:22.000 No one.

00:28:23.000 Yeah, I think he's obsessed with making people pay taxes right now.

00:28:26.000 That's why he hired 80,000 IRS agents.

00:28:28.000 Not his kid.

00:28:28.000 He's going to make an example.

00:28:29.000 This is my projection is he'll make an example out of Hunter in this case. 0.98

00:28:32.000 These people are so dirty. 1.00

00:28:33.000 This guy is so dirty and corrupt. 1.00

00:28:36.000 Well, he's not going to nail him. 1.00

00:28:37.000 He's just going to punish him like he's a 17-year-old kid.

00:28:40.000 Hunter Biden could destroy the Biden family with everything he knows.

00:28:44.000 Joe is going to give him everything he wants.

00:28:47.000 I think Hunter's in on it.

00:28:48.000 I think Joe will be like, we're going to make an example out of you to show people that

00:28:51.000 paying taxes is important.

00:28:52.000 Hunter's like, okay, dad.

00:28:53.000 You think that crackhead is going to be like, sure thing, dad.

00:28:56.000 No, he's gonna be like, no, I'm not doing that.

00:28:58.000 And don't make me go and talk to them, because I'll tell them what you did with Ukraine and China.

00:29:03.000 But he'd go down with them if he did.

00:29:05.000 If Hunter turned on Joe, they'd both go down.

00:29:07.000 Hunter's too self-serving.

00:29:09.000 I don't know if he's going to go to prison and Joe won't pardon him, then I'll say if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me.

00:29:15.000 I mean, maybe he'll get like 60 days time served in a cushy home arrest.

00:29:20.000 Yeah, that that may be a bracelet, the gun charge.

00:29:23.000 I'd be surprised.

00:29:24.000 But yeah, if they give him house arrest, he probably like sure thing pop.

00:29:26.000 Yeah, doing crackiness.

00:29:29.000 Sorry, Hunter, man.

00:29:29.000 Get off the drugs, brother.

00:29:31.000 This is the same guy that had Secret Service intervene when his gun was found in a trash can in 2018.

00:29:37.000 Secret Service literally butted in and said, you know, this is a local police case.

00:29:41.000 We're going to make sure we're involved in this.

00:29:43.000 And they literally found a handgun.

00:29:46.000 That was registered to him in a trash can.

00:29:49.000 Which is like a felony felony.

00:29:50.000 And he got away with it!

00:29:51.000 Yeah.

00:29:51.000 Well, hold on, hold on.

00:29:52.000 They're saying they might charge him, so.

00:29:54.000 Not for that specific charge.

00:29:55.000 What is it for exactly?

00:29:56.000 He might, he might not.

00:29:57.000 I mean, there's talks about this, uh, what is it?

00:29:59.000 Attorney General?

00:30:01.000 Or, uh, prosecutor?

00:30:02.000 There's talks about this prosecutor being, uh, right wing and there's a possibility of this happening.

00:30:07.000 I think I read that somewhere.

00:30:08.000 Yeah, it's a Trump, it's a Trump prosecutor.

00:30:09.000 Yeah, that was appointed by him.

00:30:10.000 So people are saying there's a small possibility here.

00:30:12.000 But again, the system has a way of greasing the wheels here. 0.93

00:30:15.000 Joe Biden is an extremely dirty human being that will use every illicit means to, of course, protect his inner circle.

00:30:23.000 And I could see a lot of shadowy things happening behind the scenes, putting pressure on this prosecutor being like, this is my son, you don't do this. 0.98

00:30:31.000 And then the prosecutor saying, OK, sure.

00:30:33.000 Do you think Hunter caves on his dad?

00:30:35.000 I think there's a theory out there that I think is plausible of Hunter deliberately releasing a lot of this stuff in order to get back at his dad for potential crimes that Hunter committed against the president.

00:30:46.000 Hunter might actually be the hero.

00:30:48.000 You know, he's like sitting there and he's being like, I may be a crackhead, but for the American people, I'll make the sacrifice.

00:30:55.000 He's good friends with Tucker Carlson.

00:30:57.000 What, Hunter?

00:30:57.000 Yes, look up Hunter Biden, Tucker Carlson.

00:30:59.000 You can see they have a good relationship with each other.

00:31:02.000 So, maybe.

00:31:04.000 Potentially.

00:31:05.000 Yeah.

00:31:06.000 He's, like, giving all his information up for money?

00:31:09.000 That makes more sense to me.

00:31:12.000 Money, but also maybe retribution.

00:31:13.000 Maybe there's something that... He calls his dad a pedo, apparently. 0.95

00:31:17.000 Yeah, that's listed as a contact. 1.00

00:31:20.000 Pedo, pedo.

00:31:20.000 I could see, like, in 15 or 20 years after Joe Biden's passed away, that Hunter is, like, He does a tell-all story where he's like, he was abusive.

00:31:26.000 He was manipulative.

00:31:28.000 He got me involved in Ukraine.

00:31:30.000 He put me in positions that I didn't want to be, you know, just demonizing.

00:31:33.000 Look how horrible it was.

00:31:34.000 Big sympathy for Hunter.

00:31:35.000 Hunter runs for office. 1.00

00:31:37.000 The Biden name, you know, bull, like crap like that. 0.99

00:31:40.000 I can see that. 0.99

00:31:40.000 I don't know. 0.99

00:31:41.000 The Biden name is synonymous with mud at this point because of like just everything wrong with the economy.

00:31:46.000 This is funny.

00:31:46.000 If you look at the polling for Democrats, the generic ballot, Their polling tracks alongside gas prices to a certain degree.

00:31:53.000 Now that gas prices are going up, Democrat polling is going down.

00:31:57.000 Because they're the ones who are in charge, and when gas prices go up... This is most people, it really is simple math.

00:32:03.000 Most people don't know, don't care, Russia, nuclear war, whatever, but I'll tell you this.

00:32:07.000 You probably go to your friends, your family, and you're like, hey, this nuclear war stuff is serious.

00:32:12.000 They could, you know, we can go to war, people could die.

00:32:13.000 And they go, I don't know what you're talking about.

00:32:15.000 I don't care about that.

00:32:16.000 And you're like, your gas prices are up 50 cents.

00:32:19.000 Well, hold on.

00:32:20.000 What?

00:32:20.000 I noticed that.

00:32:21.000 I'm mad.

00:32:22.000 It's because of Joe Biden's war in Ukraine.

00:32:25.000 And I say Joe Biden's war because I fully understand that Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, but Joe Biden decided to involve the U.S.

00:32:32.000 in something that doesn't involve us.

00:32:34.000 So, that is his war. 0.79

00:32:36.000 You can blame a lot on Putin, but why are we involved?

00:32:39.000 So, if you want to talk to people and you want to convince them to pay attention to this, you can be like, hey, you know your gas is going up because of this, and that means you can't pay your rent, you're not gonna be able to buy food, it means food costs are gonna go up, labor costs are gonna go up, and you can thank Joe Biden.

00:32:50.000 Well, he's burning through our strategic oil reserves right now, too.

00:32:54.000 Oh yeah, man!

00:32:56.000 He's just holding off until the election.

00:32:57.000 As soon as the election is over, gas prices are gonna skyrocket.

00:33:01.000 I don't know how much reserves we have left, but I think we're at kind of a record low.

00:33:07.000 $8.80 gas in California last week.

00:33:10.000 What the hell?

00:33:11.000 It was $0.89 when I was 18.

00:33:13.000 I mean, if you're looking to have some kind of large reformatting, This is great!

00:33:19.000 Yeah, like some sort of massive power-off, power-on thing.

00:33:27.000 A hard reboot.

00:33:28.000 A large reboot.

00:33:29.000 It turned out it was a massive reboot.

00:33:31.000 A gigantic restart.

00:33:33.000 Yes.

00:33:35.000 An impactful new beginning.

00:33:37.000 But we're still going to need oil.

00:33:38.000 Even if there's a gray reset, we still need oil.

00:33:41.000 If they cut off the oil, I think, like, billions will die.

00:33:44.000 Like, within the first few days of oil getting cut off, 60 million, I think.

00:33:47.000 Are the estimates between 20 and 60 million?

00:33:49.000 Dude, I'm looking at this technology where a guy puts oil in his, like, deoxygenated pressure chamber, or puts plastic, rather, in his deoxygenated pressure chamber, and then turns it back into oil, and then can reuse the oil.

00:33:59.000 Well, what kind of plastic, and is the video fake?

00:34:02.000 It was like some Japanese guy from, like, six or seven years ago, and it was on a small scale.

00:34:06.000 I don't believe it, man.

00:34:07.000 I saw a video of a guy levitating objects and perpetual motion machines.

00:34:10.000 I'll see if I can pull it up.

00:34:10.000 It was pretty basic.

00:34:12.000 And I think it's still to be re-refined, re-refined to be able to use like gasoline, but it was oil.

00:34:16.000 I think people need to understand too, like, people like Greta Thunberg, when she's like, we have to stop the fossil fuels now!

00:34:23.000 You need to imagine an iron gauntlet on her hand and her slamming the table because she's talking about killing people. 1.00

00:34:29.000 Mass genocide.

00:34:30.000 Mass genocide's called, like cutting off fossil fuels abruptly and outright will just kill tens of millions instantly and then within a few days.

00:34:38.000 Well, they're already doing it with famine, you know.

00:34:41.000 But give it a few years and then there's going to be famines, power shortages, and you're going to see, look, take a look at the population growth charts and then right around the advent of fossil fuels, it just goes straight up.

00:34:52.000 It goes from, like, a consistent 500 million people in the world throughout history, and then right before the turn of the century, it just jumps to the billions, and then it keeps climbing exponentially.

00:35:01.000 And it's because of this massive, energy-rich product.

00:35:06.000 If you cut that off, it's gonna go, whoosh, right back down.

00:35:09.000 Here's the video, it's called New Inventions Machine Reverts Plastic Back to Oil.

00:35:13.000 we get for this machine keeps trying this is called machine reverts plastic

00:35:17.000 back to oil it's new inventions machine reverts plastic back to oil it's from

00:35:20.000 about 11 years ago and the name that the inventor is Akinori Ito he was the CEO

00:35:26.000 of blessed.co.ltd at the time The website now, that link is no longer working.

00:35:32.000 I don't know what the status of this technology is right now.

00:35:33.000 But I mean, if one guy and a small company can make this on a small scale, where's our industrial plastic recycling?

00:35:40.000 We got a CBC report.

00:35:42.000 Apparently, they're doing it.

00:35:44.000 This big pile of trash and these tiny pieces of plastic... Is this what you're talking about? 0.80

00:35:50.000 No, this is a Canadian company.

00:35:51.000 It says they figured out how to do it.

00:35:52.000 That would be a diesel fuel that we're getting out of here.

00:35:54.000 Wow.

00:35:55.000 And a gasoline.

00:35:56.000 Gasoline from plastic?

00:35:57.000 In this case, this is the two that we've set up to do.

00:35:59.000 Plastic is just like oil.

00:36:02.000 And it came out of the ground at one time the same way.

00:36:04.000 We are taking plastic and we are converting it using a process called pyrolysis where we're converting it into a fuel So we know that Bill Gates has people who monitor conversations about him.

00:36:19.000 So, you know, of course, when the show starts, they tell him, uh, Mr. Gates, Tim Kest, Ira Relezon, well, turn it on the TV.

00:36:24.000 And now he's watching and he sees this clip and he goes, what?

00:36:27.000 And then he's like slamming the table and he's going to call and he's like, shut him down.

00:36:30.000 We don't want people to live.

00:36:31.000 You solved my problem!

00:36:33.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:36:36.000 His problem isn't the use of fossil fuels.

00:36:39.000 His problem is that the use of fossil fuels makes more people.

00:36:42.000 You're causing my problem!

00:36:44.000 I want to ask this question, because maybe it's a little philosophical.

00:36:47.000 What do you think drives this anti-human bent in these people?

00:36:52.000 Schwab, Bill Gates, this... Demons?

00:36:54.000 Gravity.

00:36:56.000 The pain of being sucked down to a planet.

00:36:59.000 The pain, the physical pain that we've become desensitized to makes people hate themselves.

00:37:03.000 To answer your question, I think there's a combination of Satanists, demons, people with mental health issues, but in a more simple way, throughout human history, there has always been someone trying to conquer the world.

00:37:20.000 That's not something that's out of the ordinary.

00:37:22.000 It is the norm whether it's Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Caesar, whoever it may be, they become so empowered by other individuals that that power corrupts them.

00:37:31.000 Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

00:37:33.000 And these individuals have reached such power, such wealth, that they are going along with what Hitler did, with what Mao did, with what Stalin did.

00:37:43.000 Trying to conquer and control human life for their own personal benefit.

00:37:46.000 Sociopathic demons is one easy way to describe them.

00:37:50.000 Another way to describe them is, of course, just saying throughout human history there have always been these types of people that challenge us and try to conquer everything.

00:37:59.000 Yeah.

00:38:00.000 Alexander the Great, he was on a conquering spree going east, taking like all of, you know, what is it?

00:38:04.000 Ursa Minor, that east, uh, Western Asia.

00:38:07.000 And it got to the point where he conquered so much of Persia, maybe even all of Persia.

00:38:11.000 And then his generals were like, okay, Alex, we've had enough.

00:38:14.000 We want to go home to see our wives.

00:38:15.000 It's been 15 years.

00:38:17.000 You promised that, you know, this is all about making our lives better.

00:38:20.000 And Alex was like, we must go on.

00:38:21.000 We must continue.

00:38:22.000 And they fought and he kept taking them.

00:38:24.000 They're like, we're done.

00:38:24.000 And then one day Alexander woke up and he was very sick from the night before.

00:38:29.000 I think they poisoned him.

00:38:30.000 I mean, the theory is that his generals poisoned him because they couldn't stop him.

00:38:33.000 Once he got into that state of mind, got conquering, and he thought he was the son of God, like, he was, like, educated by Aristotle.

00:38:40.000 His mother told him he was a god, a god man.

00:38:43.000 Like, he thought he was there to conquer Earth.

00:38:46.000 And the only way to stop someone like that, at least to his generals, was he had to stop him.

00:38:50.000 Because he wasn't going to stop.

00:38:52.000 Why do you think?

00:38:53.000 Well, I don't know.

00:38:54.000 I do think it's a spiritual battle that you alluded to.

00:38:57.000 If we were created by God, we're made in His image, and there is a Satan, you have to assume that he hates the image of God.

00:39:06.000 He despises us, and I think if those forces are at work in the world, There's always going to be those people who rise up and who kind of just naturally hate God's image, you know, on the earth.

00:39:21.000 And so it's probably kind of his oldest time, like you said.

00:39:24.000 It just takes different iterations, you know, throughout history. 0.99

00:39:28.000 There's always some jerk taking a dump in the punch bowl. 0.99

00:39:32.000 It's gotta be like... And then that's history. 1.00

00:39:34.000 Like fear of being attacked.

00:39:35.000 Like what Zelensky was saying, we need to preemptively strike so that they don't attack us.

00:39:40.000 Like what the Romans did, we need to conquer everyone around us so that we don't get attacked.

00:39:43.000 Because if you actually are attacked and your city's sacked, like Rome, happened to Rome in the early days, there's like, took 200 years to recover from that.

00:39:50.000 Like it can annihilate a civilization if you're attacked.

00:39:52.000 So there's this idea of like, I need to conquer the earth so that the earth doesn't conquer me.

00:39:57.000 Do you think we're bored too?

00:39:57.000 We're just so comfortable and happy and we have everything we need.

00:40:01.000 Yep.

00:40:01.000 Mankind gets to a point where they just get bored and we just have to destroy something so we can build it up again.

00:40:06.000 Life used to be about survival.

00:40:09.000 80-90% of your day was just wake up, work, otherwise you don't have food, winter is coming, are you ready?

00:40:15.000 Now we've got heating, refrigeration, we can have strawberries in the dead of winter, we can have avocados, fresh, tableside guacamole prepared to order in January.

00:40:28.000 Now that's something to behold.

00:40:29.000 So it's just, we just, we, you know, they talk about, like, we gotta end global poverty and blah blah blah, and I'm like, I get it, but there's no such thing as ending poverty.

00:40:39.000 Because even the poorest people in the world have access to technologies that were unthinkable a hundred years ago.

00:40:45.000 Not that they have consistent access to it, but even in the United States, the poorest person in the U.S.

00:40:50.000 can get clean drinking water very, very easily.

00:40:53.000 You walk into a McDonald's and you're like, water.

00:40:56.000 You're good.

00:40:56.000 Try doing that in some other parts of the world where there's no water and they're desperate.

00:41:00.000 Well, I don't think that also explains it, because throughout human history, when there was no drinking water, tribes used to kill other tribes.

00:41:08.000 Whether it was Native Americans, whether it was Europeans, there was always someone trying to kill someone else for their resources, for their clean water, for their food, and for their energy and ability to survive as well.

00:41:20.000 This has been happening for a very very long time now it's it only gets a lot more sophisticated it only gets a lot more complicated because of these technological advancements that allow people to hide behind the scenes and to impose their will in a fifth generational warfare way where people don't even realize that they're being depopulated that they're being chemically attacked that they're being castrated that they're being taught and manipulated in a way that they become self

00:41:46.000 destructive ...

00:41:47.000 and destroy themselves as a would-be dictator is literally ...

00:41:51.000 pulling the strings and calling the shots without anyone even ...

00:41:54.000 knowing their name I think that's a more likely scenario ...

00:41:58.000 with what we're dealing with right now then previously in ...

00:42:01.000 archaic times where you would stab someone and you go into ...

00:42:04.000 Now the battle, I think, is in our minds and I think that battle is expanding in a way that there's no denying that it exists, especially with the dehumanization that we have seen within the last few years.

00:42:15.000 Yeah, I was thinking about the ballistics and how they've changed war, like being able to not have to look your enemy in the eye when you kill them.

00:42:21.000 But then I'm thinking about the Romans and how they basically genocided the Gauls. 0.65

00:42:25.000 They went through all of France and just millions of people were slaughtered at the hands of the Romans.

00:42:29.000 And I think it gets to the point where the killers enjoy killing.

00:42:32.000 Like they learned to dehumanize these things that they're attacking, and they enjoy the abusive behavior.

00:42:38.000 Like it's a powerful rush you gain from it.

00:42:41.000 You get food and money and jewels and women after you make the kill. 1.00

00:42:45.000 And it's like, Addictive.

00:42:47.000 And when it becomes easy for them, and they think about, you know, these people have ideas I don't like, hey, it's just that much easier.

00:42:57.000 They don't even think of us as people, too.

00:42:58.000 It's so crazy how the dehumanization can happen.

00:43:01.000 Call them savage or whatever you want to call them.

00:43:03.000 Yeah, I'm telling you, they treat us like chickens.

00:43:06.000 Look, I was saying this earlier today on my other show.

00:43:09.000 The government deeply cares about you.

00:43:11.000 Your government cares about you, they care about your well-being, and they want you to be healthy and happy insofar as you can provide labor for them.

00:43:21.000 Everything else—your love, your life, your faith, your dreams—completely meaningless.

00:43:28.000 And if you get in the way of their labor machine, you are expendable.

00:43:32.000 So they care about you as much as I care about, say, chickens.

00:43:36.000 Like I don't want harm to befall them, but if I have to get rid of a cocky rooster,

00:43:41.000 he's going out to cock town or he's getting chopped up for lunch. 0.50

00:43:44.000 They give me eggs, I don't care what else they do in the meantime.

00:43:47.000 But if they start doing things I don't like, then you go in and you deal with them.

00:43:51.000 That's how they view people.

00:43:53.000 We provide labor, we do work, it allows them to live in their Elysium golden towers

00:43:58.000 with golden toilets.

00:43:59.000 But if we start acting out of line, speaking up and challenging their authority,

00:44:04.000 the reality is we aren't chickens, We are humans and humans are smart.

00:44:07.000 Smart enough.

00:44:08.000 So, if there are smart people who can challenge them at the top, that's a problem.

00:44:13.000 I got nothing to worry about.

00:44:14.000 There's zero chance Roberto Jr.

00:44:16.000 is gonna figure out how to come in here and take this company over.

00:44:19.000 He's a rooster.

00:44:19.000 Near zero chance.

00:44:20.000 Near zero chance.

00:44:21.000 There's a small percentage chance.

00:44:23.000 But, for human beings, When we do shows like this, the people who are currently holding the keys to the chicken coop in which we are all imprisoned, they have to be careful because people are smart enough to break free from that.

00:44:33.000 And that means you ain't getting any eggs anymore.

00:44:36.000 That's why we have politics, because people are too smart, so we need a mind control system to utilize their intelligence without allowing them to seize control. 0.98

00:44:45.000 And that's possibly why we've seen such a ramp-up with what's happening globally, and the Great Reset and all this war, is because of the information age.

00:44:53.000 This is the advent of the printing press, with the internet.

00:44:58.000 We now have all this access to information without gatekeepers, and so it does seem like the powers that be are very violently reacting to that.

00:45:06.000 Boy, do they regret that one!

00:45:09.000 But to add to your point, Ian, talking about politics, I think politics is just there to placate the population.

00:45:14.000 I think it's there to just convince people that they actually have a say in In things when they actually don't it's it's like a fisher price toy that you give to a child that you just distract them with thinking that they're actually cooking a meal when they're actually not I think that our political system is run the same exact way and there's powerful people behind the scenes calling the shots getting whatever they want convincing you brainwashing you and screwing you over every single day and they're doing it more than ever

00:45:39.000 And there was even a mainline study that we talked about a couple years ago, I think on this show specifically, talking about how our form of government is a joke.

00:45:47.000 It doesn't exist.

00:45:48.000 We don't live under a democracy.

00:45:50.000 We don't have a democracy because special interests always get their way.

00:45:54.000 What people want never happens.

00:45:56.000 Plutonomy.

00:45:58.000 Plutocracy, I think.

00:45:59.000 No, plutonomy was the report.

00:46:00.000 I think it was from Citigroup.

00:46:01.000 Okay, yeah.

00:46:02.000 They said the United States is not a democracy.

00:46:03.000 It's a plutonomy where the wealthiest control the system.

00:46:06.000 Yeah, a great example of that is superdelegates.

00:46:09.000 The Democratic Party, no matter who votes for what, when you go to the polls, at the very end, the superdelegates are going to come and be like, actually, we're going to make Joe Biden the nominee.

00:46:17.000 Like, you're not voting for the nominee.

00:46:19.000 You're voting for people that you hope will nominate the person you want them to vote for.

00:46:22.000 It's not democracy in the slightest.

00:46:24.000 I like this plutonomy.

00:46:25.000 Yeah, this is the document.

00:46:26.000 It's the Plutonomy PDF.

00:46:27.000 Citigroup.

00:46:28.000 Equity strategy.

00:46:29.000 Plutonomy.

00:46:30.000 Buying luxury.

00:46:33.000 Explaining global imbalances.

00:46:35.000 The world is dividing into two blocks.

00:46:36.000 The Plutonomy and the rest.

00:46:38.000 The U.S., U.K., and Canada are the key Plutonomies.

00:46:41.000 Economies powered by the wealthy.

00:46:43.000 Continental Europe.

00:46:44.000 Ex-Italy.

00:46:46.000 And Japan are the egalitarian block.

00:46:49.000 Equity, risk, premium, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:46:52.000 The plutonomy machine.

00:46:53.000 Economies driven by the wealthy.

00:46:54.000 That's China right now. 0.98

00:46:55.000 The industrial wealth.

00:46:57.000 Wealth is distribution.

00:46:58.000 Wealth is production.

00:46:59.000 It's not about how many dollars you have.

00:47:01.000 It's about what you're producing.

00:47:02.000 And the Chinese people are producing like mad at the moment. 1.00

00:47:05.000 We're producing a lot of paper money, so there's that.

00:47:08.000 True.

00:47:09.000 We've chosen a private company to do that for us at their own discretion.

00:47:13.000 The Federal Reserve.

00:47:15.000 Plutonomy is a term that refers to the science of the production of distribution of wealth.

00:47:19.000 In modern times, Citigroup analysts, beginning with A.J.

00:47:21.000 Kapoor in 2005, have used the term to describe an economy in which the rich are the driving forces and main beneficiaries of economic growth.

00:47:29.000 Others, including Noam Chomsky, have used the term to refer to a nation or economy in which wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few.

00:47:36.000 And there you go, that's where you are.

00:47:39.000 And then they can use that for access, for lobbying, for manipulation, for media control.

00:47:44.000 And then they create little underlings who go on Twitter and lie to you, and know they lied to you, and that's it.

00:47:49.000 It's just, some people are just evil.

00:47:53.000 I was thinking about this, when they, I saw some, I can't remember what I was watching, but they were like, Republicans are trying to bring about evil into this country or whatever.

00:48:01.000 And then I thought about that, I'm like, well, they know that's not serious.

00:48:04.000 Like these people know that they're the ones who are lying because there's no way you can believe every single lie

00:48:10.000 from the mainstream media unless, you know, like there's no way you can keep saying this

00:48:15.000 and believe these lies unless there's something wrong with you or you're just pushing the lies.

00:48:20.000 And so what I think is they view freedom and liberty as chaos and evil.

00:48:27.000 Whereas we view authoritarianism and manipulation evil. 0.52

00:48:31.000 So to them, they're like, these people are evil.

00:48:33.000 They want just chaos, people doing everything, and then it all burns down and climate change.

00:48:39.000 I picture them like the guy in the basement that paints the little, you know, figures.

00:48:43.000 Nothing wrong with that, but like, you know, that has the scene set up and everything just so, and everything posed, maybe like a little train set or something like that.

00:48:52.000 And, you know, imagine if those figures were about to, you know, have agency or free will, and it's just, the guy loses his mind.

00:48:59.000 It's kind of, they're people tinkering with a train set in their basement.

00:49:03.000 Obsessed with order.

00:49:05.000 Yeah, whereas libertarians are obsessed with chaos.

00:49:07.000 Maybe not, but I mean, if you When you become obsessed with chaos or order, you become very dangerous.

00:49:12.000 There's got to be a balance.

00:49:13.000 Yeah, there it does.

00:49:14.000 Because too much order is show me your papers or get in the cell.

00:49:16.000 Too much chaos is I lit it on fire.

00:49:18.000 I don't even know where the fire is anymore.

00:49:19.000 Yeah.

00:49:21.000 Well, the really great and really bad thing about our current dichotomy is that in this larger war, people are literally killing and taking themselves out.

00:49:32.000 It's a really bad thing because it's horrible to see and you try to prevent it, but a lot of times it's very difficult to do so.

00:49:38.000 On another aspect, it's a good thing because at the same time it could be stopped just by information, just by knowledge, just by people being able to talk to each other in a transparent, accountable, full, honest, real, truthful way.

00:49:50.000 And the internet provides us a small opportunity to do that, but it's being limited every single day because of that particular reason.

00:49:57.000 This is why this move by Twitter, again, It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out, but I think it provides a huge potential that could really upend and shift things.

00:50:08.000 Will it happen?

00:50:09.000 I'm skeptical, but I do see it as something that could change the world for the better as people realize, hey, maybe I shouldn't be hurting myself.

00:50:16.000 Maybe I shouldn't be treating myself bad.

00:50:17.000 Maybe I should start eating better.

00:50:19.000 Maybe I should start working out.

00:50:20.000 Maybe I shouldn't just listen and do everything that they tell me to do and I keep getting screwed over by it.

00:50:24.000 And I think the more people have those conversations and actually open themselves up to fixing themselves, they won't be killing themselves and blowing themselves up, figuratively, mentally speaking.

00:50:34.000 Yeah, drug addiction, like, and I'm talking about high fructose corn syrup, sugars as well, types of drugs like that, something the government can't really I can kind of control it by banning certain substances, but the whole, like, obesity epidemic, because like you were saying earlier, the government wants workers, they want chickens that just do their chicken thing and lay the eggs, but then why are they letting people get obese?

00:50:54.000 I don't think that, I think it's just, it's bigger than gut, like, economy is, is, the market is stronger than our government.

00:51:00.000 It always probably has been.

00:51:01.000 I mean, we have very few food companies controlling most of the food supply chain now, and they're very well connected in government.

00:51:08.000 And I think they have a lot of power, you know, over what goes in our food, over what goes on our nutrition labels.

00:51:17.000 And so I think a lot of our diet, our American diet, is dictated by the lobbyists for these companies in Washington.

00:51:25.000 I want to jump to this story we got from Timcast.com.

00:51:27.000 Biden pardons federal convictions for low-level marijuana possession.

00:51:31.000 Today, we begin to right these wrongs, Biden said.

00:51:35.000 The pardon also applies to lawful permanent residents who have been charged with simple possession, as well as individuals who have been charged but not yet stood trial.

00:51:43.000 Quote, as I've said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana.

00:51:48.000 Today, I'm taking steps to end our failed approach.

00:51:50.000 Allow me to lay them out.

00:51:52.000 Okay.

00:51:54.000 I agree with this.

00:51:54.000 I said Trump should have done the same thing.

00:51:56.000 I don't like Joe Biden, and this earns no brownie points as far as I'm concerned, because I think this is just pandering.

00:52:04.000 But I still, look, respect where credit is due.

00:52:08.000 I think they should have been doing this a long time ago.

00:52:10.000 I think Donald Trump should have done it.

00:52:12.000 I don't trust Biden to actually do anything.

00:52:13.000 I don't think Democrats are actually gonna, you know, take marijuana off schedule one.

00:52:17.000 But what do you guys think?

00:52:19.000 Do we know how many people this represents?

00:52:23.000 I mean, are we talking about thousands, millions?

00:52:25.000 I think it's thousands.

00:52:26.000 I have seen it at the federal level right now.

00:52:29.000 There are zero.

00:52:30.000 That's what I heard.

00:52:31.000 Zero?

00:52:31.000 I didn't check it out.

00:52:33.000 I didn't check it out.

00:52:33.000 For this minor thing that they're classing it under what is a simple possession, there's no one.

00:52:39.000 Which would be really interesting.

00:52:40.000 I did see a meme earlier today about- So this could just be a publicity stunt then?

00:52:43.000 Yeah, sure could be.

00:52:44.000 I just saw a meme earlier today about Kamala Harris looking through the blinds very sadly as Joe Biden releases all the people she was so carefully putting in jail for marijuana possession.

00:52:53.000 That's funny.

00:52:54.000 Poor Kamala.

00:52:55.000 I kind of- Poor Kamala.

00:52:56.000 I know, poor Kamala. 0.99

00:52:57.000 I like the way this sounds, though I haven't looked into it yet.

00:52:59.000 It's similar to that AI Bill of Rights that they proposed a few days ago.

00:53:02.000 I think that even an incompetent government can get stuff right, and, you know, no one's pure evil or pure good.

00:53:08.000 So, in a way, I mean, definitely we should make marijuana not Schedule 1 narcotic. 0.82

00:53:13.000 Completely insane.

00:53:13.000 It's a plant.

00:53:14.000 It's like an herb.

00:53:15.000 Yeah, just don't overuse the thing. 0.99

00:53:17.000 It's a freaking drug. 0.99

00:53:17.000 It's potent. 0.99

00:53:18.000 The war on drugs is a farce that just abuses people that have substance abuse problems that are never dealt with and only made worse and people are made harder criminals and bigger criminals just by going into our penitentiary system.

00:53:31.000 I think they're reaching in a bag.

00:53:32.000 They're like, holy cow, we screwed these people over really bad.

00:53:36.000 We robbed them of all their money.

00:53:37.000 We robbed them of energy.

00:53:39.000 We robbed them of any kind of potential.

00:53:41.000 Let's just give them a little crumb here, and let's hope that affects the upcoming elections, because I think they are desperate.

00:53:46.000 I think the war on drugs, just like the war on terror, is just manufactured to control populations.

00:53:52.000 It's good to see a portion of it stop, but will this actually have real effect?

00:53:57.000 Again, I'm skeptical.

00:53:58.000 Yeah, he's saying that he's calling on the Attorney General to initiate a process of reviewing how marijuana is scheduled under federal law because it's considered more serious than fentanyl, which is just insane.

00:54:09.000 That's so crazy.

00:54:10.000 Yep.

00:54:11.000 Why didn't Trump do it though?

00:54:15.000 Good question.

00:54:16.000 Why?

00:54:19.000 I don't know.

00:54:20.000 Bad advice?

00:54:21.000 Did he say he was going to do it?

00:54:22.000 That the split between the traditional conservatives who do vote for him and the MAGA types who

00:54:28.000 are more libertarian?

00:54:30.000 He thought he wouldn't get real.

00:54:31.000 Yeah, I think it would have potentially split his base and been harmful to him politically.

00:54:36.000 He might not have won if he didn't do it.

00:54:38.000 I don't think it would have been harmful to him at all.

00:54:40.000 I think there would have been some people who would have been like, I don't think he's right to do, but there's no way I'm voting for Biden.

00:54:45.000 You know?

00:54:45.000 Let the states decide, jeez.

00:54:47.000 Like, do you think any Trump supporter is going to vote for Joe Biden for doing this?

00:54:51.000 No, he's got to earn my respect in many, many ways, more than one or two moves.

00:54:55.000 The student loan thing, for instance.

00:54:56.000 All of a sudden, he went back on it.

00:54:58.000 They were going to give $10,000.

00:55:00.000 Everyone that has a loan.

00:55:00.000 And it turns out, not if you have a private loan.

00:55:02.000 Only if you have government loans only.

00:55:04.000 Sorry.

00:55:04.000 And there's so many people with private loans that aren't getting them.

00:55:07.000 Oh, they're going to walk the whole thing back.

00:55:09.000 Of course.

00:55:09.000 It's going to be like the day before the election.

00:55:11.000 He's going to be like, oh yeah, how about that? 0.94

00:55:14.000 He's going to crumple it up and throw it in the garbage. 0.57

00:55:15.000 There was no public... I didn't see like a public... 0.95

00:55:18.000 Press conference about not doing it.

00:55:19.000 They just quietly were like, that's what all this stuff is.

00:55:21.000 He's just throwing stuff against the wall.

00:55:23.000 He's going to keep doing that until election day.

00:55:25.000 It's because he can't do it anyway.

00:55:27.000 He's got nothing else.

00:55:28.000 This is why we have this weird pseudo war, you know, with Russia, because they're not allowed to do it.

00:55:34.000 Joe Biden doesn't have the authority to forgive student loans.

00:55:37.000 So naturally within a month or a few months, they're like, oh yeah, he's not actually doing that.

00:55:41.000 Like imagine if Joe Biden came out, he's like, I'm going to give everybody who votes for me a thousand dollars.

00:55:46.000 He can't.

00:55:47.000 So it's like he's lying, you know, people believe it.

00:55:51.000 I guess that's government though, right?

00:55:53.000 What else is new?

00:55:54.000 Half the time, at least.

00:55:56.000 That's generous.

00:55:57.000 It's a lot of like projections about what they're going to do.

00:56:01.000 Are you kidding me?

00:56:03.000 I'll say like, we're going to fill in the blank and like, yeah, you didn't do it yet.

00:56:09.000 Wait, do it and then tell me you did it.

00:56:11.000 Then that at least isn't a lie.

00:56:12.000 It's like Lydia was saying that there might not even be a single person.

00:56:16.000 I just pulled it up.

00:56:16.000 I don't know if this is correct, but I'm hearing that 99% of federal drug offenders are sentenced for trafficking.

00:56:22.000 I haven't fact checked this.

00:56:24.000 So someone could fact check this and that only 92 people were sentenced for marijuana possession in the federal system in 2017.

00:56:31.000 out of nearly 20,000 drug convictions. So, um, yeah, it's like if Joe Biden came out and was

00:56:37.000 like, all those, you know, children who are negatively impacted by the alien invasion

00:56:41.000 will receive a million dollars from the government. You're like, okay, that's zero. It's like, Hey,

00:56:44.000 Hey, we're helping kids. Right. Kept that promise because people will hear this. This is brilliant.

00:56:50.000 Man, you know, in terms of manipulating people, this is just so good.

00:56:56.000 Announcing that you're going to be partying a tiny, tiny group of people, but then saying there are thousands of people who were previously convicted.

00:57:03.000 Convincing people that you actually did a thing when there's no one that's, for the most part, being affected.

00:57:08.000 Now look, to those 92 people in 2017 or whatever, I'm sure there was 100 in 2018, 19, 20, 21, 22.

00:57:14.000 So we're looking at maybe, you know, several hundred people.

00:57:17.000 I'm sure their lives will be improved by this.

00:57:19.000 Hell yeah.

00:57:20.000 But he's not doing what I suggested Trump do, which was basically pardon anybody for any crime relating to any non-violent crime who didn't plead down.

00:57:29.000 So that means if they had like large possession or trafficking, I don't care.

00:57:32.000 Yeah, trafficking for reference is when you have 25 kilograms or more or 300 or more plants of marijuana.

00:57:38.000 Here's what you do.

00:57:40.000 Everybody who's been convicted for that If they didn't plead down from a violent offense, they should have to go through a mandatory licensing process and then be released.

00:57:51.000 That's it.

00:57:53.000 You were trafficking all of this agricultural product without a permit.

00:57:57.000 So it's a $50 fine.

00:57:58.000 Get your permit.

00:57:59.000 Have a nice day.

00:58:00.000 Get rid of the permitting system right away.

00:58:03.000 I'm disgusted by that sound.

00:58:05.000 I'm just saying.

00:58:07.000 The appropriate thing to do is...

00:58:10.000 Let people be, and if they're not hurting anyone, if they're just deciding to smoke something or put something in their body, it's their choice and their decision.

00:58:16.000 Even though they should be informed, though, that there are extremely negative consequences that we're not being told when it comes to marijuana, and marijuana is becoming more potent, is becoming more dangerous, and does have negative effects on some human beings.

00:58:28.000 So people need to understand, there's dangers in doing this, but at the same time, the government coming in and throwing you in jail for doing this is not going to solve the problem.

00:58:36.000 I had some old hippies talking to me about how pot today is nothing like it was in the 70s.

00:58:42.000 Like in the 70s, it was weak.

00:58:44.000 And they were like, yeah, so you'd smoke.

00:58:45.000 And it was like, you know, now it's just like, boom, it's very powerful stuff.

00:58:50.000 So maybe, you know, we gotta be careful about all drugs, but, you know, look, man, my attitude is, if you wanna go into your closet and, you know, smoke, inject, I don't know, whatever, as long as you're not hurting other people, I actually think that regulation is the best way towards helping people, ending the violence.

00:59:11.000 By pushing it into the black market, you only create a space for this.

00:59:14.000 So the appropriate thing to do, in my opinion, is legalize with restrictions.

00:59:18.000 If people are addicted to opiates, give them a space where you can go and help them and make sure they don't die from it.

00:59:24.000 Yeah.

00:59:24.000 Instead, they tell you, well, you might as well go hide in a basement.

00:59:27.000 Now, when you OD, too bad, no one's going to call for help because they're scared of the jail.

00:59:30.000 Or when you can't get your prescription filled, you'll go down to Skid Row to find somebody with fentanyl.

00:59:35.000 When they run out of their Oxycontin or whatever, they look for something else because they don't...

00:59:40.000 Yeah, man, but the thing about weed is it is legal.

00:59:44.000 I'm like, what am I?

00:59:44.000 Okay, let's go with it.

00:59:46.000 No, it's addictive.

00:59:47.000 And, you know, mildly, I think physically, definitely psychologically addictive and giving it to kids is messed up.

00:59:53.000 I used to know kids in high school that I never smoked until I was 23.

00:59:55.000 But like in high school, they were just slow and dull and like bored with school and like, Maybe they were slow and dull and bored of school anyway, but they would be more slow and more dull when they would come into work smelling like pot and like, you know, weren't mean or anything.

01:00:10.000 We're just like, I don't know.

01:00:12.000 It should be just like alcohol, you know, and, and, you know, marijuana does have some medicinal properties, but at the same time, there's also other forms of marijuana that will absolutely knock you on your butt and have very severe negative consequences, especially if your child, as it rewires your brain and, and Predominantly, it does make a lot of people lazy.

01:00:29.000 Some people, it actually makes them energized.

01:00:31.000 Some people, it actually gives them inspiration.

01:00:34.000 Some people, it helps.

01:00:35.000 Some people, it hurts.

01:00:36.000 Just like anything in life. 0.97

01:00:37.000 Lazy.

01:00:39.000 When I went to Colorado and I partook for the first time, I remember having this thought like, holy cow, this is kind of dangerous for me because I I, right now, I feel like I would be completely happy never accomplishing anything ever again.

01:00:53.000 Everything's good right now.

01:00:54.000 It's a big part of the transhumanist agenda is putting the metaverse on psychedelics.

01:00:57.000 They just want you sitting down.

01:00:59.000 Yeah, I'm surprised the government's not giving out free weed at this point.

01:01:02.000 I see them doing this a couple years Just from now being like, yes, get high, just totally forget about everything.

01:01:07.000 Just go on the couch, just sit there, don't worry about anything.

01:01:10.000 There's a nice pod next to that couch that we're also gonna give you.

01:01:12.000 Next will be, what was that?

01:01:14.000 Children of Men, remember that movie when they were handing out suicide kits to everybody in little boxes?

01:01:19.000 They're gonna try and create some kind of patentable derivative that they can control the price on.

01:01:25.000 Then they're gonna say, everybody needs this because it de-stresses.

01:01:30.000 And then they're gonna say the government should pay for it.

01:01:33.000 Everybody gets taxed without realizing it, and then they're paying for the thousand-dollar pills.

01:01:38.000 It's Marinol.

01:01:39.000 It's called Marinol, and its international non-proprietary name is Dronabinol, also known as Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol.

01:01:48.000 I guess they've pharmaceuticalized it.

01:01:50.000 Marinol, Sindros, Reduvo, and Adversa.

01:01:53.000 Adversa?

01:01:59.000 Whatever you do, do not smoke the government weed.

01:02:01.000 Do not take the Selma. 0.77

01:02:02.000 Whatever you do.

01:02:03.000 Cheap and free, Luke.

01:02:04.000 Don't eat the bugs.

01:02:05.000 Insurance is going to cover it.

01:02:06.000 What was that movie?

01:02:07.000 Children of Men? 0.88

01:02:07.000 Children of Men, yeah. 0.88

01:02:09.000 We're closely approaching that future, and that's terrifying.

01:02:11.000 If you haven't watched that movie, it's soon to be a documentary.

01:02:15.000 Did you see the videos out of Canada?

01:02:16.000 Where the guy's like, he calls the hotline and they're like, if you need help dying, let us know.

01:02:21.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:02:22.000 They're like pushing people to that.

01:02:23.000 Yeah.

01:02:24.000 Well, and we're almost seeing that a little bit in the States, too, with insurance companies that will, you know, they won't cover your surgery or your treatment, but they will cover, you know, your, what do you call it, your death with dignity.

01:02:38.000 You know, we'll give you painkillers until you die.

01:02:40.000 There's kind of that movement.

01:02:42.000 Just scoot people along.

01:02:43.000 Let's move it along here.

01:02:45.000 Wow.

01:02:49.000 You want to know where we're headed in 10-15 years.

01:02:51.000 Look at Canada.

01:02:51.000 Look at Europe.

01:02:52.000 That's where we're headed.

01:02:53.000 I think we need ethics oversight over pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies.

01:02:58.000 I mean, it's got to be like governmental ethics.

01:03:00.000 That's a big part of our government is ethics.

01:03:02.000 That's the dudes that wrote the U.S. 0.88

01:03:04.000 Constitution were ethicists.

01:03:05.000 They understood religious and moral ethics.

01:03:08.000 And that's why there were so many of them.

01:03:09.000 They didn't agree on the logics and the literals all the time, but they got like the ethics for the most part.

01:03:15.000 You know, the slavery thing was still debatable at the time.

01:03:17.000 So I think the Founding Fathers really understood human nature, which is probably what made them strong ethicists.

01:03:22.000 And I think you're correct.

01:03:23.000 I think the problem now is that I don't think government ethics is ethical.

01:03:29.000 I don't think it's ever a good idea for a government ethics board to oversee something like the pharmaceutical company.

01:03:34.000 I think they're too tightly combined.

01:03:36.000 I think it needs to be an independent outside organization.

01:03:39.000 I have seen Marinol used.

01:03:40.000 It was used to stimulate appetite for an older lady who was really struggling to eat. 1.00

01:03:44.000 So it does have, like, good purposes, but it's not... I'm from Colorado, so I've seen what marijuana does to people.

01:03:52.000 And people used to tell me all the time, oh, it can cure anything.

01:03:55.000 It cures cancer.

01:03:56.000 What are you talking about?

01:03:57.000 You're just being a downer.

01:03:58.000 I was like, I have seen it change people.

01:04:00.000 And I've had people tell me, I wish I'd never started marijuana or I wish I hadn't started as young as I did.

01:04:05.000 It changed my overall life experience.

01:04:07.000 Hugely negative.

01:04:08.000 But that said, it should not be illegal.

01:04:09.000 I could say I missed a lot of opportunities because I was stoned, but that's blaming the weed.

01:04:14.000 It was my own fault.

01:04:15.000 I had to make the final decision.

01:04:16.000 It could have been video games.

01:04:17.000 It could have been alcohol.

01:04:19.000 Human beings find something.

01:04:21.000 Yeah, but it was me.

01:04:22.000 I made the choice not to go do the things that I feel like I missed out on.

01:04:26.000 I blamed the weed for years and stressed my family out about it, and then they started freaking out about weed.

01:04:30.000 It wasn't the weed.

01:04:30.000 It was me.

01:04:31.000 It was my own personal lazy choice.

01:04:33.000 So, you gotta make sure that whatever's giving you that dopamine hit, it's a positive thing with the future.

01:04:39.000 I think South Park said it well when it's like, they're talking to the kids about their future selves, like they hired this company that sends in fake versions of them from the future who are like, hey guys, I started smoking weed and then I became a loser.

01:04:51.000 And then finally at the end, Randy's like, son, you know, there's nothing really bad about smoking pot other than it makes you okay with being bored.

01:04:59.000 And then when you're older, you'll find that you're not good at anything.

01:05:02.000 Plus, the government ships in all the drugs they usually have through the CIA, especially as we found out through the Iran-Contra scandal, and I could keep going, but there's also some other breaking news happening right now.

01:05:11.000 I don't know if you guys are seeing this from the Associated Press.

01:05:14.000 They're talking about how Biden, at a fundraiser in New York, talked about how Putin is, quote, not joking about tactical nuclear weapons.

01:05:21.000 Armageddon risk at highest level since Cuban Missile Crisis.

01:05:24.000 So these are words from the President of the United States, specifically talking about the dangers that all of us face because of his reckless foreign policy that has brought us to what he describes himself as Armageddon, which is crazy.

01:05:36.000 So this is actually breaking right now.

01:05:39.000 So much so, it's one sentence.

01:05:41.000 Biden, quote, Putin not joking about tactical nuclear weapons, Armageddon risk at highest levels since Cuban Missile Crisis.

01:05:47.000 Well, hold on.

01:05:48.000 Maybe people might need that pot. 1.00

01:05:52.000 Don't write that off too soon.

01:05:53.000 Do they have marijuana linked to iodine pills?

01:05:56.000 They're going to start giving out marinol and potassium iodide.

01:06:00.000 And the first one is to help keep you alive by protecting your thyroid.

01:06:04.000 The second one is to chill you out.

01:06:06.000 You need to chill out.

01:06:08.000 I think that fear of nuclear war benefits the military-industrial complex.

01:06:12.000 So if Biden is functioning as a mouthpiece for that, or if he's just completely an NPC, just afraid of normal everyday stimuli that the more intelligent, evolved people can kind of see around and understand the basics of, I don't know, the White House will walk this back tomorrow.

01:06:30.000 He used the word Armageddon.

01:06:32.000 I mean, you know Peter Doocy or whoever is going to be in the president, you know, like, are we headed towards Armageddon, Karine Jean-Pierre?

01:06:39.000 And she's going to be like, blah blah blah, and she's going to flip through her notebook.

01:06:41.000 And then she's going to say something that's like, well, you know, Armageddon, that's a word, and words have meanings.

01:06:48.000 And when a meaning is brought up, people have to wonder, why?

01:06:51.000 Cause Armageddon, that's an interesting thing to say.

01:06:54.000 And then they're like, okay, I don't, I don't, what?

01:06:56.000 And she'll be like, I answered your question.

01:06:58.000 She has the Obama cadence.

01:07:00.000 She'll be like, we, uh, we, we very much, uh, does that, uh, a lot.

01:07:05.000 We believe in the president, Buttigieg.

01:07:07.000 The president's been very clear and he's been very clear from the beginning about what we've said, about what we believe and what we want to do and Armageddon, you know.

01:07:15.000 But you're missing the snoot when she does it. 1.00

01:07:17.000 Barack Obama does the, uh, lizard.

01:07:21.000 We, uh, but what she does is she does that, um, and she closes her eyes and looks down like that. 1.00

01:07:26.000 You're so stupid. 1.00

01:07:28.000 You really? 1.00

01:07:29.000 I'm speaking.

01:07:30.000 Pete Buttigieg does it too.

01:07:32.000 It's real annoying.

01:07:32.000 Like Obama spawned a genre of politicians that, uh, say, uh, and, uh, and, uh, talk like this.

01:07:38.000 Uh, there's Kareem Jean-Pierre, Buttigieg.

01:07:40.000 I think, uh, uh, what's his name?

01:07:43.000 Buttigieg.

01:07:44.000 Those are people who don't believe in anything.

01:07:45.000 It'll work a little bit.

01:07:46.000 Um, and who are, are biding time in their mind to think of the lie.

01:07:51.000 That's, that's people who need that many pauses.

01:07:54.000 Yeah, that's what she's doing. 0.97

01:07:54.000 They have no foundation, they have no beliefs that just spill out. 0.97

01:07:57.000 Absolutely.

01:07:58.000 All politics.

01:07:59.000 That's how you know Ben Shapiro is the most honest person ever.

01:08:02.000 He talks so fast.

01:08:04.000 It's just like, there's no opportunity for him to think of anything.

01:08:07.000 It goes straight from the heart out of his mouth.

01:08:09.000 Doesn't even touch his lungs.

01:08:11.000 I feel like that's actually a fair observation, because he does speak very quickly and very directly.

01:08:15.000 And I don't think that speaking quickly is a marker that you're telling the truth, because we've known a lot of people who can really spin really fast.

01:08:21.000 It's actually really impressive.

01:08:23.000 But it's possible that telling the truth is just easier, and it makes it quicker for you to access those ideas.

01:08:28.000 Yeah, it's natural.

01:08:28.000 Yeah, it's nice, right?

01:08:31.000 I found that.

01:08:31.000 Releasing my past secrets on YouTube videos.

01:08:34.000 It was humiliating, but I've got like a hundred of them where I'm just talking about my past and my secrets and all of a sudden I didn't, they didn't pop into my head in the middle of conversations.

01:08:41.000 I didn't have to remember or think like, was I lying or was I, am I hiding something here?

01:08:44.000 You can just kind of flow with whatever.

01:08:46.000 Yeah.

01:08:47.000 I want you to do me a favor.

01:08:48.000 I want you to make me a promise that if a nuclear strike is imminent where we live and there is no escape, I want you to stand atop the van, driving full speed, holding American flag, while blasting It's the End of the World As We Know It by R.E.M.

01:09:03.000 You like that song?

01:09:04.000 Well, I mean, for this scenario, yeah.

01:09:07.000 While we hide in the bunker with our iodine pills.

01:09:11.000 No, I'm saying, I don't want Ian to die in a blaze of glory unless there's no other choice, but then it would just be the greatest ending, you know, to any story ever.

01:09:18.000 Oh yeah, when Power 108 turned into 107.9, the end, they played that song for 24 hours.

01:09:24.000 In Ohio, Northeast Ohio.

01:09:26.000 What's up, dawgs?

01:09:27.000 If you're from Northeast Ohio in the 80s, you remember that night.

01:09:31.000 I remember, because I'm from Chicago, Q101 changed.

01:09:35.000 It was like a rock station, and it turned into like talk radio or something.

01:09:38.000 And then it just flopped miserably, so they changed it back.

01:09:40.000 But my favorite thing about Q101 is that I'm sure even today, I don't know, I haven't been to Chicago in a while, I'm sure they're still just playing Stunt Double Pilots.

01:09:47.000 Like, they never stopped playing 1990s music.

01:09:50.000 Like, 92.

01:09:51.000 Because that's the people who are listening to the radio.

01:09:53.000 Who else is listening?

01:09:54.000 They never changed?

01:09:55.000 Yeah.

01:09:56.000 This is interesting.

01:09:58.000 Cultural stagnation.

01:09:59.000 Not just in that, you know, because I grew up, you put on Q101 in Chicago and they're playing Grunge and it was modern.

01:10:06.000 And then 10 years later, they're still playing these songs with some new music.

01:10:10.000 And then it's 20 years later and I'm just like, man, they're still playing, you know, Stone Devil Pilots and like Pearl Jam and stuff.

01:10:17.000 I bet they're still, they're probably still doing it today if they exist.

01:10:19.000 I don't know, again, I haven't been there.

01:10:21.000 But then I'm just looking at a lot of these bands.

01:10:23.000 I talked about this a little bit the other day, that you're surprised they're in their 50s and they're still making new albums.

01:10:29.000 Yes.

01:10:29.000 And why is it that... 3.11?

01:10:30.000 Oh, I don't know if it's new.

01:10:31.000 Well, I mean... Still touring, you know?

01:10:33.000 Yeah.

01:10:34.000 But why is it that back in the day, at a certain age, the music stopped?

01:10:38.000 Like, you were too old and you were just like, well, we're going to shift, you know, and do something else.

01:10:43.000 They'd become record producers, they'd work in the industry.

01:10:45.000 Now it's like 50-year-olds still putting out albums.

01:10:47.000 Like, what is that?

01:10:48.000 Is it because they don't have families?

01:10:49.000 Well, they did.

01:10:50.000 Like, the Eagles went for a long time.

01:10:51.000 The Beatles, no, the Beatles broke up.

01:10:53.000 No, but I think a lot of it is that obviously if you're like the Beatles, you never stop.

01:10:56.000 Your market is working.

01:10:57.000 But a lot of bands fell out of favor with the current trends.

01:11:00.000 But for some reason, I think it's simple.

01:11:01.000 But I think a lot of it is that obviously if you're like the Beatles, you never stop.

01:11:06.000 Your market is working.

01:11:07.000 But a lot of bands fell out of favor with the current trends, but for some reason.

01:11:11.000 I think, actually I think it's simple.

01:11:13.000 The internet.

01:11:14.000 It used to be that the radio wouldn't play your song anymore because it was outdated.

01:11:17.000 They'd be like, look, people don't want to buy this stuff anymore.

01:11:19.000 That was it.

01:11:20.000 You're off the radio and now you're retired and now you're a has-been.

01:11:23.000 These days it's like, I got followers on Spotify.

01:11:26.000 Don't need to stop at all.

01:11:28.000 The radio is meaningless.

01:11:29.000 So now it's just... You can always be big somewhere.

01:11:32.000 Yeah, we went to Hot Topic.

01:11:33.000 We were at the mall and we walked past Hot Topic.

01:11:35.000 On the window for Hot Topic is Nightmare Before Christmas.

01:11:39.000 I'm like, yo, that movie's 30 years old.

01:11:41.000 That's from the 80s.

01:11:42.000 No, it's 90.

01:11:44.000 93 or 94 or something like that.

01:11:45.000 I'm like, it's a 30 year old movie and young kids are, I'm like, everyone in there is a young person.

01:11:51.000 I couldn't imagine when I was a kid walking into the mall and there was a store that didn't pretend to be a retro store selling everything from the 60s.

01:12:02.000 Well, I think there's nothing, you talk about cultural stagnation, there's like nothing really new coming out anymore.

01:12:10.000 You know, movies, TV, music, it's all rehashes.

01:12:14.000 There's nothing original.

01:12:15.000 Arts in a huge slump.

01:12:17.000 And so I feel, you know, people kind of are sticking with the people who innovated in the 90s, 80s, 60s.

01:12:23.000 There is actually a new show that I think is really, really good that I've been watching recently.

01:12:27.000 Rings of Power?

01:12:28.000 No.

01:12:28.000 You know, it's been about, it's been a couple months now, and man, the stories are just compelling, they're funny, they make you laugh, make you cry.

01:12:37.000 Starring Ian Crosland, by the way.

01:12:38.000 Cast Castle.

01:12:39.000 It's a great show.

01:12:40.000 I got emotional at the end.

01:12:41.000 Did you see yesterday's episode?

01:12:44.000 It's touching.

01:12:45.000 We've integrated some powerful music, just a great scene with Chris and I. At the end, me and Chris, like...

01:12:51.000 A leaf falls off the tree.

01:12:52.000 As we're shooting, it's like a leaf actually fell off the tree in the middle of the shot.

01:12:56.000 It was just so natural.

01:12:57.000 It was so beautiful.

01:12:58.000 Wait, you're not talking about this week's episode?

01:13:00.000 This week's episode, like yesterday's episode.

01:13:02.000 Civil War.

01:13:03.000 Yeah, the end of Civil War, the shot is stunning. 0.94

01:13:07.000 Stunning.

01:13:07.000 Cinematically beautiful.

01:13:08.000 I don't want to spoil anything for anybody.

01:13:10.000 I highly recommend going to TimCast.com and checking out the Cast Castle series, because it is new, and it's hot.

01:13:16.000 So people only watch what they already like, they don't want to see anything new, so that's why The Office just keeps getting replayed over and over again.

01:13:22.000 So there's no reason to do things.

01:13:24.000 It used to be that there was a finite amount of space, and these networks were trying to be fresh by making new things, but now it doesn't matter anymore.

01:13:31.000 Look, I just watched Breaking Bad for the first time a couple weeks ago.

01:13:34.000 And now I'm about to finish Better Call Saul, which, you know, to be fair, Better Call Saul did just finish.

01:13:39.000 But these are, like, old.

01:13:40.000 Breaking Bad was old.

01:13:42.000 It took me 10 years to watch it.

01:13:43.000 I watched The Sopranos a couple months ago.

01:13:45.000 Loved it.

01:13:46.000 Incredible.

01:13:46.000 But again, just like you.

01:13:48.000 It's all old.

01:13:49.000 There's too much existential stress on people to be creative these days.

01:13:52.000 I think if you're stressed out, it's hard to be creative.

01:13:54.000 Like, in the 90s, people didn't care, man.

01:13:56.000 They were doing heroin.

01:13:58.000 They were just rock and roll until they died, those dudes.

01:14:01.000 Well, I also think, too, that with streaming and with the internet, content has increased exponentially.

01:14:07.000 We've never had more volume in terms of content than we have now.

01:14:11.000 But the talent pool for writing, acting, creatives has not grown at all.

01:14:16.000 So it's all spread out more thin.

01:14:19.000 So you have a lot more content, much less quality.

01:14:23.000 And so it's really hard to find... I mean, The Office, for example.

01:14:27.000 There really hasn't been a comedy that has come out since The Office that has matched that.

01:14:31.000 Well, there was one called The Office.

01:14:34.000 Remember?

01:14:34.000 The Office came out and then they made another one called The Office.

01:14:37.000 What?

01:14:38.000 The British one came out.

01:14:39.000 It's called The Office.

01:14:39.000 Ricky Gervais.

01:14:40.000 And then they immediately remade it because it's like cultural stagnation.

01:14:43.000 They couldn't even think of a new show.

01:14:45.000 They just remade The Office.

01:14:47.000 It was still good, but it was just a remake.

01:14:48.000 And it could never be made today.

01:14:49.000 You watch old Office episodes, you'd never see that.

01:14:52.000 Oh man, 30 Rock.

01:14:54.000 In the first season, Tina Fey, she's playing Liz Lemon, says that she tells her friends she voted for Obama, but she actually voted for McCain.

01:15:02.000 Imagine a modern SNL show where the main character says, I tell everybody I voted for Hillary, but I actually voted for Trump twice.

01:15:10.000 No way they would ever allow that.

01:15:12.000 That joke would not fly.

01:15:13.000 The Office, Diversity Day.

01:15:15.000 I haven't watched The Office, but I just watched a small clip of that.

01:15:18.000 That would not be OK to do.

01:15:19.000 Yeah, I want to do, for our, for Cask Castle.

01:15:22.000 But it was really hilarious.

01:15:24.000 Some racy stuff.

01:15:25.000 I think that we can, we can do it.

01:15:28.000 I can't spoil anything, but we do have, we have a special guest coming out next week and we're working on one of the most hilariously offensive shows we'll ever do.

01:15:38.000 Yeah, I wrote a scene for it last night.

01:15:40.000 And I can't say too much, but it's in line with what Luke was talking about, Diversity Day.

01:15:44.000 So it has to do with the company and how all the employees have to go through training, and it'll be really, really fun.

01:15:49.000 Dude, Cask Castle's legit, man.

01:15:50.000 It's gonna be, like, shockingly offensive to a lot of people.

01:15:53.000 It keeps getting better.

01:15:55.000 Next I want to...

01:15:56.000 Upgrade our sound quality so it's the same room tone everywhere.

01:16:00.000 So it's like the same sound.

01:16:01.000 You don't hear differences and the same lighting.

01:16:03.000 So once we get a sound and lighting rig, it's basically expanding.

01:16:06.000 I think what we need to do is establish that it's good enough to keep doing.

01:16:09.000 And then once that's established, we build out the crew.

01:16:13.000 I think we need a show runner.

01:16:14.000 Somebody who's got experience having done shows like this before can come in and be like, A, B, C, D is what you're missing, and then we're good to go.

01:16:20.000 You know, consultant or something like that.

01:16:22.000 Or maybe something longer standing.

01:16:23.000 But I'm really excited for... Currently there's one being filmed today, like this week, which will come out Tuesday.

01:16:31.000 But what's going to be filmed next week is probably going to... I imagine everybody who likes our show is going to absolutely love what we do.

01:16:40.000 And then there's going to be a bunch of videos posted by a bunch of leftist organizations who are going to be like, Yeah, but it'll be so good that it's indisputable.

01:16:47.000 That's a thing you want.

01:16:48.000 I mean, I'm okay with people complaining about it, but it's got to be so good when you finally see the source that you're like, dang.

01:16:53.000 We got big news, my friends!

01:16:54.000 Big news here!

01:16:56.000 Shaggy's black.

01:16:57.000 Shaggy from Scooby-Doo is now officially black, and so is Velma! 0.89

01:17:02.000 Oh wait, that's the wrong story.

01:17:04.000 There we go.

01:17:04.000 That's not it.

01:17:05.000 That's a bad one.

01:17:06.000 Here's Velma. 1.00

01:17:07.000 Velma, I think, I don't know if she's black, maybe she's like Indian, like Mindy Kaling. 1.00

01:17:11.000 Oh yeah, that's who plays her. 0.99

01:17:13.000 You know who I'm really offended by?

01:17:14.000 We have this discussing film, it's like a first look at Shaggy, Daphne, and Fred, voiced by Sam Richardson, Constance Wu, and Glenn Howerton, in HBO Max's adult animated Velma series.

01:17:26.000 I just want to point out the most offensive thing here is that Shaggy, NORVILLE! 1.00

01:17:31.000 He got cancelled. He's fired.

01:17:33.000 He's fired. Shaggy can't get a job. 1.00

01:17:35.000 It's supposed to be Shaggy, but he's replacing Shaggy.

01:17:38.000 Okay, so, Canon, fact check for all the nerds. 0.96

01:17:42.000 They did, I think it was in a pup named Scooby Doo as a show,

01:17:45.000 they established that Shaggy's real name was Norville.

01:17:48.000 That's why they're saying Norville here.

01:17:52.000 But why?

01:17:53.000 And they made Shaggy black. 0.98

01:17:54.000 Okay, look, I honestly don't care, but I have a point to be made. 0.98

01:17:58.000 If they were going to choose any character to be black, I find it funny that they chose the stoner munchies guy who is considered a coward. 0.96

01:18:05.000 And that to me is like, why not Fred? 0.97

01:18:09.000 Fred is like the strong leader.

01:18:11.000 Why would they?

01:18:12.000 I think it's racist.

01:18:13.000 The progressives always end up being racist in the end. 1.00

01:18:16.000 No, honestly, I just think it's really dumb. 0.99

01:18:19.000 What's on his head? 0.99

01:18:20.000 It's his hair.

01:18:21.000 Shaggy did not have that kind of hair.

01:18:23.000 That's not Shaggy.

01:18:24.000 He's no longer Shaggy.

01:18:25.000 Couldn't they have given him just, like, hair like Shaggy, I guess?

01:18:30.000 Why did they make, I don't understand.

01:18:31.000 They gave the Asian the red hair. 0.93

01:18:34.000 It's just, it's just, look, guys. 1.00

01:18:35.000 They made Fred look like an idiot. 1.00

01:18:37.000 It's not Scooby-Doo. 1.00

01:18:38.000 Fred is going to be the idiot. 1.00

01:18:39.000 I think they even made Velma fat. 1.00

01:18:41.000 Like, not like fat fat, but you know, they made her like... Chubby with a little bit of fupa. 1.00

01:18:46.000 Yeah, a little fupa and chubby and just real cringe.

01:18:49.000 And the trailer for this is her basically saying that you can never change... She's doing a joke where she's like, you can never change things and it's like everything always has to stay the same.

01:19:01.000 And then she says something like, well, at least the character is still white.

01:19:04.000 And then it reveals that Velma is now black or whatever. 0.94

01:19:07.000 This is cultural stagnation.

01:19:08.000 This is the death of art and culture.

01:19:10.000 They can't make up new ideas.

01:19:12.000 They've got no new ideas left.

01:19:13.000 Yo, it's been 50 years.

01:19:15.000 Scooby.

01:19:16.000 Come on.

01:19:16.000 And The Simpsons!

01:19:18.000 Did you guys see The Simpsons where Abe is gay? 0.92

01:19:22.000 It's like he's bi-curious or whatever.

01:19:25.000 And then there's another Simpsons episode where Bart gets mad that they gender swap, itchy and scratchy. 0.97

01:19:30.000 And so then feminists make fun of him or something. 1.00

01:19:33.000 Guys!

01:19:34.000 So why do you think they're doing this?

01:19:35.000 Why do you think that this is, I mean, they're doing this with everything.

01:19:38.000 Every IP out there.

01:19:38.000 No, I think there's some 80-year-old white executive who typed in, you know, Scooby-Doo into an AI script writer and then it just spat out some garbage and then went, run with it!

01:19:51.000 And that's it.

01:19:52.000 It's kind of a marketing ploy, too.

01:19:54.000 I mean, no one cares about a new Scooby-Doo show.

01:19:57.000 But look at us.

01:19:58.000 We're talking about it now.

01:19:59.000 This is crazy.

01:20:00.000 It's because people are permanent children. 0.56

01:20:02.000 Like, dude, I watched Scooby-Doo when I was really little, and it was okay. 0.98

01:20:07.000 And then when I got older, I was like, this is really dumb.

01:20:09.000 And then I liked things like X-Men, you know? 0.51

01:20:12.000 When I was real little, I was like, Power Rangers was fun.

01:20:14.000 But then after the first season or whatever, I outgrew it, and I was like eight, and I'm like, I'm too cool for Power Rangers.

01:20:19.000 Scooby-Doo was just not it.

01:20:22.000 It was the same story every single time.

01:20:24.000 We get it, some dude's trying to lower property values so he pretends to be Frankenstein.

01:20:28.000 Them making a new show that's aimed at adults using these characters and then race swapping them is just like, we are desperate, we don't know what we're doing, we're gonna try and do Ghostbusters 2016 all over again.

01:20:40.000 Is Scooby in this show?

01:20:42.000 They don't even show Scooby!

01:20:43.000 There's no Scooby!

01:20:44.000 Scooby is now a kid.

01:20:45.000 He's gonna be a furry.

01:20:47.000 Scooby's gonna be a furry, I'm calling it right now.

01:20:50.000 They made Daphne Asian. 1.00

01:20:53.000 A red-headed Asian? 0.93

01:20:54.000 Red-headed Asian. 0.98

01:20:55.000 I don't see many red-headed Asians.

01:20:56.000 No man.

01:20:57.000 It's an alternate universe.

01:20:58.000 This is the most disappointing to me.

01:20:59.000 Because he's supposed to be a strong leader, a grounding force. 0.97

01:21:02.000 It made him a dope!

01:21:03.000 He was supposed to be a football star, right?

01:21:06.000 I don't know.

01:21:07.000 He's like 6'3", muscular.

01:21:08.000 Yeah, but now he looks super skinny, super soy.

01:21:11.000 Confused.

01:21:12.000 Confused. 0.98

01:21:12.000 Dumb look on his face. 0.98

01:21:14.000 He's usually like pulling Shaggy back from the brink. 0.99

01:21:17.000 That's like his main function.

01:21:18.000 It's like, hey everybody, remember we have a mission.

01:21:31.000 I love the Super Saiyan Shaggy memes though. 0.82

01:21:34.000 That really is funny.

01:21:35.000 So have you guys seen that video game Multiverses?

01:21:38.000 It got a lot of attention. It's like Warner Brothers Smash Brothers.

01:21:41.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:21:42.000 It got a lot of attention because Velma's super, super move is to call the cops on you. 1.00

01:21:46.000 But I will admit, when I was watching the trailer for the game, I'm like,

01:21:51.000 oh, so Warner Brothers is putting all their characters into a fighting game. 0.97

01:21:53.000 I'm like, it sounds dumb. And it's like Batman was there.

01:21:56.000 And then all of a sudden Shaggy shows up, and I think it's funny.

01:21:58.000 I'm like, ah, Shaggy fighting.

01:22:00.000 And then someone like knocks a sandwich out of his hand, and then he goes Super Saiyan, and I started busting out laughing.

01:22:05.000 I'm like, okay, that's good.

01:22:07.000 I approve.

01:22:08.000 It is funny Shaggy going Super Saiyan. 0.73

01:22:11.000 But this kind of takes away from that, because I don't know who this again Norville guy is, and I don't know why they're taking away from... Shaggy's an iconic character.

01:22:18.000 He's like the Scooby-Doo character.

01:22:20.000 And there's a show called The Orville.

01:22:22.000 That Seth MacFarlane show is called Orville, and now they just call it Norville.

01:22:27.000 Fred's also demasculated. 1.00

01:22:29.000 He's going to be a low IQ idiot who's going to be making a bunch of mistakes. 1.00

01:22:32.000 He's going to be the dope, and he's going to be the loser, just like every guy who looks like him is portrayed on television. 1.00

01:22:38.000 How amazing would it be if Fred is no longer the leader, Norville is, and every time something bad happens, Fred's like, I'm sorry guys, that was my fault. 0.80

01:22:46.000 He jumps into Scooby's arms.

01:22:48.000 He constantly does things where he has to check his own privilege.

01:22:52.000 He'll be like, let's see who's really under that mask.

01:22:54.000 And they'll be like, don't pull off that mask!

01:22:56.000 It's a cultural symbol!

01:22:57.000 Geez, Fred, colonize her much? 1.00

01:22:59.000 And he goes, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.

01:23:02.000 I'm wondering now if Scooby-Doo was like a stoner show back in the day.

01:23:06.000 Because Scooby and Shaggy were high as hell most of the show.

01:23:09.000 Like Shaggy's talking to a dog, eating Scooby snacks.

01:23:12.000 He's eating dog food.

01:23:13.000 I never understood as a kid.

01:23:18.000 And then I remember when I finally got old enough, and I was told, you realize the whole gag is that they're stoned out of their minds.

01:23:25.000 Yeah, Scooby Snacks are edibles for sure.

01:23:27.000 No, I think he's just eating dog food.

01:23:31.000 Scooby Snacks?

01:23:31.000 They make him get crazy powerful.

01:23:33.000 The Scooby Snacks would make him get like...

01:23:40.000 High.

01:23:41.000 You know, they make him kind of super crazy.

01:23:44.000 Definitely drugs.

01:23:45.000 This meme crosses the line.

01:23:46.000 You've made him unstoppable.

01:23:51.000 Biggest buff of all time.

01:23:53.000 If they can overcome the poor theme here, and the writing's actually decent, it looks like they've got... I mean, Mindy Kaling, I think she's a fantastic actor.

01:24:02.000 So maybe she can pull... Like, this was a little... The writing was kind of bad.

01:24:06.000 We watched the trailer.

01:24:08.000 And she's kind of phoning in the dialogue.

01:24:09.000 Wait, hold on, hold on, guys.

01:24:10.000 She's talking like this, and like this.

01:24:12.000 Wait, wait, wait, hold on.

01:24:13.000 Hold on.

01:24:14.000 She's dead.

01:24:14.000 Watch.

01:24:15.000 There's the guy.

01:24:16.000 He's got a knife. 1.00

01:24:17.000 She screams, and then... Maybe she kills him. 1.00

01:24:19.000 We don't know. 1.00

01:24:20.000 Oh, she kills him. 0.98

01:24:20.000 There's a twist. 0.98

01:24:21.000 Totally.

01:24:22.000 Nice one.

01:24:22.000 What does it say?

01:24:23.000 What is Scoob?

01:24:26.000 It says, Dinkley has crossed out, it says, what is Scoob?

01:24:29.000 Oh, it's like a mystery.

01:24:30.000 The show's called Velma, so maybe there's no Scooby in it.

01:24:32.000 Like they're looking for Scoob.

01:24:34.000 Maybe they haven't found Scooby yet, and this is the prequel.

01:24:37.000 He's missing.

01:24:38.000 You know what they should do?

01:24:39.000 These characters all get killed, and then the real ones find their clothes.

01:24:42.000 They need to make Into the Shaggyverse. 1.00

01:24:45.000 And it's like, all the different shaggies from different realities team up. 1.00

01:24:49.000 Don't give them awful ideas, please.

01:24:51.000 They'll listen to them right now.

01:24:54.000 Have you guys seen the Night, Violent Night trailer?

01:24:58.000 Oh, no.

01:24:58.000 With Santa?

01:24:59.000 Yeah.

01:24:59.000 Die Hard with Santa Claus.

01:25:00.000 Oh, I've seen that one.

01:25:01.000 That looks pretty interesting.

01:25:02.000 Yeah, you're right.

01:25:03.000 It's like literal Die Hard with Santa.

01:25:06.000 I think it looks like the best movie of our generation.

01:25:09.000 And I'm proposing that we do a company-wide outing at three on the Thursday preview to go watch it.

01:25:14.000 So it's, who's it, David Harbour?

01:25:16.000 And he's Santa.

01:25:18.000 And it's just masterfully done.

01:25:19.000 At least the trailer John Leguizamo's in it.

01:25:21.000 Yeah.

01:25:21.000 And, uh, you know, their politics are no good, but their movie, it looks really great.

01:25:25.000 They disappointingly made Santa white, though, so that's... Oh, no.

01:25:29.000 I was kind of into it until he punched into the Santa's sack in, like, a present shot out at him.

01:25:35.000 He has a knife, and he stabs, and it goes into the sack, and then he pulls out a present.

01:25:39.000 Oh, it's got a present on the knife?

01:25:40.000 That's cool.

01:25:41.000 So, basically, like, Santa's doing his rounds, and he's, like, half-glazed over, just like, whatever.

01:25:46.000 And then he stumbles upon an active heist on Christmas, and then he's like, I don't want any trouble, and then he basically uses his Santa powers to take on a bunch of terrorists in a big house.

01:25:55.000 And it just looks hilarious.

01:25:57.000 Like, the puns, he's like, it's time for a season's beating!

01:26:01.000 Oh my gosh!

01:26:02.000 That's horrible!

01:26:04.000 I know, it's so good!

01:26:06.000 And then he shoved the grenade where the sun doesn't shine.

01:26:08.000 Did you see that one?

01:26:09.000 Yeah!

01:26:10.000 And it runs away.

01:26:11.000 He's like, wait, I gotta see this one.

01:26:13.000 I'm excited for that.

01:26:13.000 This could be a problem, though, because he's, I mean, Santa's kind of essentially a god.

01:26:17.000 Like, how are they going to give him an enemy that's going to put him in any real danger?

01:26:20.000 Is there like an anti-Santa out there?

01:26:23.000 In the trailer, he's teleporting.

01:26:25.000 He can teleport if there's a chimney nearby or something.

01:26:27.000 Yeah, like, how are they going to make him like a, you know, a character?

01:26:30.000 I don't know.

01:26:31.000 I mean, I just think it's going to be funny.

01:26:33.000 Now, look, look, look.

01:26:35.000 It is hard to come up with new ideas because Futurama did the Robo Santa trying to kill everybody, which is not the same thing.

01:26:41.000 And there's another movie, I forget what it's called, something like the 70s or whatever, where there's a guy just like Santa going around killing people.

01:26:48.000 But this is literally Santa Claus himself inadvertently stumbling upon a Die Hard-style kidnapping heist because this rich family's got a vault full of money or whatever.

01:26:58.000 I think it looks hilarious.

01:26:59.000 So I'm into it, you know.

01:27:01.000 Remember, what was that movie, Jack Frost?

01:27:03.000 The snowman that was killing everybody?

01:27:05.000 Yeah.

01:27:06.000 I never saw that.

01:27:07.000 They're doing that with Winnie the Pooh too, right?

01:27:09.000 Are they making a... Oh yeah!

01:27:10.000 Blood and honey.

01:27:14.000 It's got a lot of potential.

01:27:15.000 So it is all derivative.

01:27:16.000 Pretty soon we're going to have like a Peppa Pig or a Bluey that goes around murdering people. 1.00

01:27:21.000 Peppa Pig's revenge.

01:27:23.000 Yeah.

01:27:24.000 I think when I write music, I basically take pieces from a bunch of different songs I've heard in the past and then put them all together into a new song where you don't know that those pieces, where they're from.

01:27:34.000 So it's, I'm definitely, we're standing on the shoulders of giants.

01:27:37.000 It's all mashups.

01:27:38.000 Yeah.

01:27:38.000 Everything we do is a mashup.

01:27:39.000 Language even is a mashup of what came before, but You gotta be so intricate with it that people don't know you're using past material.

01:27:47.000 Right, like, I came up with a show idea called Doobie Moo.

01:27:49.000 And it's about a gang of young people that fight crime.

01:27:53.000 With a pet alligator.

01:27:54.000 With a pet cow.

01:27:55.000 A guy named Doobie.

01:27:56.000 Oh, it's a cow.

01:27:56.000 It's a cow.

01:27:56.000 It's a cow now.

01:27:57.000 And, uh, it's a cow.

01:27:59.000 Doobie Moo! 0.96

01:28:01.000 Doobie Moo! 0.96

01:28:02.000 It's an original idea.

01:28:03.000 Great.

01:28:04.000 Completely original.

01:28:05.000 I love it.

01:28:06.000 And the main characters are Red.

01:28:09.000 Yes.

01:28:10.000 And Brafney.

01:28:12.000 Brafney.

01:28:12.000 They eat mushroom snacks.

01:28:14.000 And Belma.

01:28:16.000 The mushrooms that grow on Doobie's poo.

01:28:18.000 And Baggy.

01:28:18.000 There you go, yeah.

01:28:20.000 The special snacks.

01:28:22.000 Man, it really is crazy how they just like...

01:28:25.000 Rehash old things non-stop over and over and over again, like we're on Fast and the Furious 10, you know?

01:28:31.000 They've got to use new tech, new technology.

01:28:33.000 I think if you want to make new art, you've got to integrate like modern tech.

01:28:36.000 Did you notice when cell phones appeared, it took them like six years before they started making cell phones in movies because it was so cool to have a hero that didn't have access to the outside world, couldn't resolve, he didn't know what was going on.

01:28:45.000 That's the big part of movies is you don't know.

01:28:47.000 So as soon as cell phones are invented, it like erases the drama of so many movies.

01:28:51.000 Not only that, but you'll notice in modern movies, they'll have the cell phone to their ear, and then someone will say something like, I am coming for your family.

01:28:58.000 And then you hear a click and a doot doot doot doot doot.

01:29:00.000 And I'm like, that doesn't happen on cell phones.

01:29:03.000 That was like, and the crazy thing is, do young people even understand that?

01:29:07.000 There was a meme that is probably not real, but it's funny, where some guy was holding up a floppy disk.

01:29:13.000 And he was like, kid in my school just said, why did you 3D print the save icon?

01:29:17.000 I saw that.

01:29:19.000 I have no idea.

01:29:21.000 Well, I don't know if that's real, but you know, yeah, they have no idea.

01:29:24.000 It's like they've not used these things.

01:29:26.000 What a weird turn of events for our world, what the internet has done, you know what I mean?

01:29:32.000 We're very fortunate to have kind of seen both sides of it.

01:29:34.000 We grew up kind of before the internet, we got to see it come into being, and now our kids just don't, they don't know a world without it.

01:29:40.000 What's that gonna be like, you know?

01:29:42.000 I don't know, I mean... Instant gratification all the time.

01:29:46.000 My entire life we've had TV is ubiquitous.

01:29:51.000 My parents were saying that it was like when they were younger, they didn't have TVs in their apartments because they were expensive and they didn't care that much.

01:29:56.000 You know, now it's like flat screen TVs are in every room because they're dirt cheap.

01:30:00.000 Maybe that's because they want to spy on us though.

01:30:02.000 For sure it's manipulation.

01:30:03.000 The power and control a government or people have over people with the TV.

01:30:07.000 If you can get it... No, no, no, but wasn't there a story that like TVs have microphones and cameras spying on you?

01:30:12.000 Yeah.

01:30:15.000 I think we went on a search for ones that didn't, and we were going around the specific stores, and there was like one left that I was able to finally grab it and buy myself.

01:30:25.000 No camera?

01:30:25.000 No camera, no microphone.

01:30:26.000 Have you seen that cost chart?

01:30:28.000 There's a chart going around the internet that Tracks the cost of everything going back to the 50s and how prices have rised for food, healthcare, cars, houses, literally everything.

01:30:40.000 Like a hundred things on this chart.

01:30:41.000 The only thing that has gone down is TVs.

01:30:44.000 Yeah.

01:30:45.000 It's like just a bunch of stuff going up and then you have TVs.

01:30:48.000 It's the only thing that has decreased in price over the past 50 years.

01:30:50.000 Well, they also track what you watch.

01:30:51.000 They also have a lot of data on you, your personal information on there.

01:30:55.000 So, you know, this is why a lot of the TVs are so cheap is because they collect a lot of data on you and then they sell that data.

01:31:01.000 Man, jeez, if you get people to watch the news, MSNBC, you have control of their minds.

01:31:06.000 Do you find at Babylon Bee that you guys create news?

01:31:10.000 Do you feel like you're creating new concepts?

01:31:12.000 Because a lot of it's parody, which is like using an idea and then twisting it.

01:31:16.000 Hold on, let me just interject.

01:31:17.000 You're wrong, Ian.

01:31:19.000 It's not parody, it's prophesizing.

01:31:22.000 Can you tell us all the jokes that went too far that you guys never published?

01:31:26.000 What's the difference between parody and satire?

01:31:36.000 Parody I feel like is kind of aping off an existing thing.

01:31:42.000 You have the movie The Godfather and then you have Mel Brooks' Mafia that is kind of a parody of that.

01:31:50.000 Satire is exaggerating reality.

01:31:54.000 I think a lot of what makes our satire seem prophetic sometimes is I think it's just the fact that there's nothing complicated about it.

01:32:04.000 I think we know the left better than they know themselves a lot of times.

01:32:08.000 If you know someone's worldview, and then you also combine that with knowledge of human nature, if you have a solid, truthful worldview, it's not hard to predict what people are going to do and what people are going to say.

01:32:19.000 That and the Babylon Bee has a vat full of a fluid with three precogs floating in it, and then wooden balls carve out, you know, the future, and then they say, hey, that's funny, let's write that up.

01:32:29.000 It's actually a seeing stone, but yeah, pretty close.

01:32:31.000 Seeing stone.

01:32:32.000 The Babylon Bee staff put on robes, and they all stand in a big circle holding hands, and then the crystal lights up, and they can see the future.

01:32:39.000 That's right.

01:32:39.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:32:40.000 And the feature's funny.

01:32:41.000 It's very funny.

01:32:41.000 It's hard, though.

01:32:42.000 I mean, yeah, we get a lot of, I mean, feedback all the time.

01:32:45.000 Please stop.

01:32:46.000 Please stop, because you're giving them ideas.

01:32:48.000 Sometimes I feel like we're giving them ideas.

01:32:50.000 I mean, did you see the one recently?

01:32:52.000 We did a, and it was just a throwaway joke.

01:32:54.000 I mean, we call it the one joke of the Babylon Bee.

01:32:56.000 It's like, it identifies as joke, you know, blank identifies as blank, so he can blank.

01:33:02.000 And it was, like, M&M's introduces new purple trans M&M that identifies as a Skittle. 0.92

01:33:10.000 And they rolled out a purple M&M?

01:33:12.000 Yeah, a few months ago, a few weeks ago, yeah.

01:33:16.000 As a celebration of, like, inclusivity and diversity or something like that, they have a new purple M&M.

01:33:21.000 So just stuff like that.

01:33:22.000 I think we have, like, 80, close to 80 prophecies.

01:33:25.000 The Black Mirror, that TV show Black mirror that he stopped making them because he was like I 0.87

01:33:29.000 think I'm giving them ideas or whatever he felt what I mean that show is

01:33:32.000 just like bleeding edge just like I love that show

01:33:37.000 The robot dog episode?

01:33:38.000 I just rewatched the one where they're hunting down the roaches, this humanoid monster thing, but they've got like AR brain chips, they're like augmented in the neural net, and so they see the roaches, they kill them, and then one guy gets like knocked out of the net by this thing, and he realizes that they're actual humans, that they've been told are roaches because they have a genetic deficiency, and it's this weird like uh story of like genocide and and being manipulated by

01:34:03.000 machines you know klaus schwab watched that episode and was like oh yeah that was

01:34:08.000 good i can't believe i did not think of that so do you think that literally do you think that you

01:34:12.000 guys are giving ideas to the war machine gosh dang i hope not

01:34:16.000 I hope not.

01:34:17.000 I wonder about that.

01:34:19.000 No, I think that human nature is what it is.

01:34:22.000 A lot of things are inevitable.

01:34:23.000 You know, and I, it's, you're really just kind of, you're watching the course that they're

01:34:35.000 on and you're just extrapolating it, you know.

01:34:38.000 All right, we're going to go to super chat.

01:34:40.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com.

01:34:47.000 We're going to have that uncensored members-only show coming up at about 11 p.m.

01:34:52.000 You don't want to miss it.

01:34:53.000 Here we go.

01:34:53.000 We got Camilla Mamani who says, Yo Tim, I heard in my Argentinian news about undersea cables that Russia could destroy them for breaking communication or tapping them.

01:35:05.000 Yes, that is a current fear.

01:35:08.000 I don't see cables all over the place.

01:35:10.000 I think there's like New York to Brazil is one of them.

01:35:13.000 Crazy.

01:35:14.000 Massive, massive cables.

01:35:16.000 If you're worried about the pipelines getting hit, they probably won't destroy them.

01:35:20.000 What you need to understand about communications is that in a time of war and conflict, people want access to the information, not to silence it.

01:35:27.000 So I hear this a lot from activists.

01:35:28.000 They'll be like, the police are censoring the internet.

01:35:32.000 They're making it so we can't share and livestream.

01:35:34.000 And I'm like, no, they aren't.

01:35:35.000 It's the congestion.

01:35:36.000 The police want you to share information so they can intercept it and spy on you.

01:35:40.000 It is bad.

01:35:41.000 That's why they bring in the mobile cell tower trucks.

01:35:44.000 When there's high congestion at protests, depending on when they do this, sometimes they do it.

01:35:48.000 Because they want you to use your phone and talk about your plans so they know.

01:35:53.000 Shutting you down would be bad for them.

01:35:55.000 BCisMe says, yesterday I saw a 70-year-old lady walking her little dog wearing an Ultra Maga shirt.

01:36:01.000 Made my day.

01:36:02.000 That sounds fantastic.

01:36:04.000 Grim Vale says, do you have any plans to ever do written fiction content on your culture platforms?

01:36:09.000 Trade publishing is ultra-woke and there aren't many platforms where writers can just write good stories without the gender stuff forced in. 0.64

01:36:16.000 Yeah, we were thinking about doing manga or something, graphic novels, in the weekly release style, but it's a very, very, very difficult thing to do.

01:36:24.000 I don't know if we would ever do, like, fiction books or anything like that.

01:36:28.000 Salem Publishing, we published a novel through Salem, a fantasy novel, and got no pushback on any of the content from them at all.

01:36:37.000 What's the novel?

01:36:39.000 Postmodern Pilgrim's Progress.

01:36:40.000 It's kind of like a multiverse hopping, you know, allegorical tale.

01:36:44.000 Me and Kyle wrote it.

01:36:46.000 But they're, I mean, they're the only one I know of, as far as publishing houses go, they're the only one I know of that will really just let you write anything.

01:36:53.000 Go anywhere else, you're going to have very strict parameters for what you can have in there, what you can't have in there, all the woke stuff.

01:37:02.000 So yeah, the publishing business is kind of a mess right now.

01:37:05.000 All right, Heron Gaming News says, did you hear Chicago held Slipknot at gunpoint?

01:37:10.000 Do you mean that Slipknot was held at gunpoint in Chicago?

01:37:14.000 Or the band Chicago had a beef with the band Slipknot, and they held them at gunpoint?

01:37:17.000 I know, because that's what it sounds like at first, and I'm like, I don't know if that would be a thing.

01:37:20.000 Isn't Chicago fairly old?

01:37:23.000 Yeah, Slipknot.

01:37:24.000 They're still at it, huh?

01:37:25.000 Yeah, and they're huge.

01:37:27.000 I didn't know this, you know.

01:37:30.000 Very, very- Yeah, Chicago police held Slipknot at gunpoint, thinking they were a- Why?

01:37:36.000 This is from two days ago from Barstool Sports, thinking they were about to rob a jewelry store.

01:37:41.000 Oh, wow.

01:37:42.000 I wonder if they're in full makeup.

01:37:43.000 Does Chicago police still work?

01:37:46.000 They still do stuff?

01:37:48.000 All right.

01:37:49.000 Grofty says, bawk the buck button.

01:37:50.000 Bawk, bawk. 0.81

01:37:51.000 Yes, please.

01:37:52.000 But this was in 1999 that they, this happened.

01:37:55.000 1999.

01:37:55.000 This was 23 years ago.

01:37:57.000 Clayton Johnson says, nothing like an EMP to send us back to fighting with sticks and stones.

01:38:01.000 Eliminate the enemy without the nuclear winter weapons of the future. 0.53

01:38:05.000 If an EMP, let's say the big solar flare blasts the Earth.

01:38:09.000 Massive one.

01:38:09.000 Or how about... I got a better one.

01:38:11.000 Let's say aliens come here, and then as punishment for teetering on nuclear war, they EMP the planet, destroying all electronics.

01:38:19.000 How long would it be until we just make new ones?

01:38:23.000 16 days until things are back to normal.

01:38:25.000 If we don't have outside interference.

01:38:27.000 Can we restart the electrical grid is the question.

01:38:30.000 I don't know.

01:38:30.000 It depends on the power of the EMP blast.

01:38:32.000 I think you can either fry an electronic or just shut it down for a short period of time, but I don't know enough about the mechanics.

01:38:37.000 If the electrical grid was shuttered, there'd be billions dead within months, couple months, billions.

01:38:42.000 They must have a backup ready to go.

01:38:45.000 Maybe.

01:38:45.000 Something ready to like.

01:38:47.000 I'd actually be more inclined to believe they have underground bunkers ready to go for themselves than anyone else.

01:38:52.000 Like power lines underground, connecting deep underground.

01:38:54.000 Faraday cage barriers and things like that to keep out the awful... Underground generators and stuff that we don't know exist.

01:39:01.000 Yeah, I think water is probably better, right?

01:39:03.000 Like, water is a better protection against radiation.

01:39:08.000 So like, you could do a Faraday cage, and then you can do an aquarium, and then you can seal your electronics in plastic and then put them in the water.

01:39:16.000 Nice.

01:39:17.000 Yeah, water.

01:39:18.000 There was a story I read about a scuba diver that got sucked into an intake valve at a nuclear plant and was swimming around in the reactor.

01:39:23.000 And you're fine because the water blocks the radiation.

01:39:25.000 You can't, you know.

01:39:26.000 Oh, wow.

01:39:27.000 Yep.

01:39:30.000 Shane Templeton says, Joel Salatin needs to be a guest on here.

01:39:33.000 Huge knowledge in the natural way of raising chickens.

01:39:36.000 And he has a very interesting take on government programs regarding farms.

01:39:39.000 Would love to see he and Luke have a back and forth.

01:39:42.000 Cool.

01:39:42.000 You know him, don't you know Joel?

01:39:44.000 I'm not sure.

01:39:45.000 Okay.

01:39:45.000 He's great.

01:39:45.000 He's a farmer, naturalist.

01:39:47.000 I mean, he talks about like getting in, in the pig feces with the pig while he's working and it's better for how it's better for his immune system.

01:39:53.000 He was very vocal during the COVID epidemic or pandemic, whatever you want to call it.

01:39:58.000 Michelle Grimm says it's official, the end of an age.

01:40:01.000 No one has come up with an original movie idea since the 90s, I swear.

01:40:05.000 Let's make Speedy into Jose Owens next and make him black. 1.00

01:40:09.000 Just kidding.

01:40:10.000 Yeah, I think about this when I think about Groundhog Day.

01:40:14.000 Like that was an original concept, wasn't it?

01:40:16.000 Like the day looping was the first, now there's like 800 movies that have done this.

01:40:19.000 Day loops, yeah.

01:40:20.000 Day loops.

01:40:22.000 Yeah, I like Napoleon Dynamite and the 40 year old virgin. 0.96

01:40:25.000 I thought that was good.

01:40:26.000 2007, I think, six.

01:40:29.000 Yeah, those were good.

01:40:30.000 Just like rom-coms.

01:40:31.000 Groundhog Day, though, even though it kind of had that original conceit, it was a very traditional story.

01:40:37.000 It follows the kind of the hero's journey beat for beat, you know, same thing you see in Star Wars and all that.

01:40:42.000 Oh yeah, Peterson was talking about, Jordan Peterson talks about like tropes and how there's only so many stories that can be told, and we tell like, I don't know, 17 stories and just make it up off the top of my head, but like the hero's journey is one.

01:40:54.000 No, that's not true.

01:40:55.000 You can make up more than that.

01:40:57.000 They just wouldn't be enjoyable.

01:40:58.000 We wouldn't care about them.

01:40:59.000 We wouldn't connect with them, yeah.

01:41:01.000 A story about a guy who gives up everything to buy scratchers.

01:41:08.000 That's it.

01:41:09.000 Inspiring.

01:41:09.000 And then he wins.

01:41:11.000 And then he comes back.

01:41:13.000 Oh, that's actually a good idea.

01:41:14.000 A dad who leaves his kid to go get scratchers.

01:41:17.000 And then like 10 years goes by and the kid's like, Dad never came back.

01:41:20.000 And then one day he does.

01:41:21.000 And he's a millionaire.

01:41:21.000 And he's like, I finally won.

01:41:23.000 And I'm back, son.

01:41:24.000 I've been scratching for decades.

01:41:26.000 And his fingers are like his fingertips are callous.

01:41:28.000 I did this for you, son.

01:41:30.000 For you!

01:41:31.000 And the kid's like, It wasn't worth it!

01:41:33.000 And the kid was dying of cancer, and the dad came back just in time to pay for his treatment.

01:41:37.000 And then the dad has a heart attack, and then the kid... Like, the dad actually, no, he's got, um... I guess it wouldn't be mesothelioma, but it would be some kind of lung damage from inhaling all of that shredded scratcher particle.

01:41:47.000 And then the kid... No, the dad loses.

01:41:49.000 That's what it is.

01:41:50.000 But then the kid sues the lottery for the scratchers, killing his dad, and then ends up getting a hundred million dollars.

01:41:59.000 That would be a funny show.

01:42:01.000 What story is that?

01:42:02.000 That's not The Hero's Journey.

01:42:03.000 Or is it?

01:42:03.000 That's a tragedy.

01:42:04.000 That's like Breaking Bad.

01:42:05.000 What Walter White did with meth.

01:42:07.000 He's doing with scratch-offs, right?

01:42:09.000 Yeah.

01:42:09.000 It's a tragedy, but is it like... Sacrifice for your son.

01:42:12.000 Yeah.

01:42:13.000 He did something noble for noble reasons, but he went about it the wrong way and it ends up doing the opposite of what he... destroys his life, destroys his son.

01:42:22.000 Like Thanos.

01:42:22.000 Yeah.

01:42:24.000 All right, Triton54 says, on behalf of all South Carolina residents, I'd like to apologize to all TimCast listeners for Lindsey Graham.

01:42:31.000 He should be removed, arrested, and tried.

01:42:32.000 I love Lindsey Graham.

01:42:35.000 It's funny.

01:42:35.000 I love him.

01:42:36.000 He represents no one.

01:42:37.000 He is anomalous.

01:42:38.000 Like, even Nancy Pelosi has support from Democrats.

01:42:41.000 Republicans don't like Lindsey Graham. 1.00

01:42:43.000 Democrats don't like Lindsey Graham. 1.00

01:42:45.000 What's he doing?

01:42:46.000 He's banging the war drum.

01:42:48.000 When Zelinsky said we need preemptive strikes, I immediately thought of Lindsey Graham. 0.63

01:42:51.000 Sounds like something Lindsey would have said. 0.85

01:42:53.000 Yo, here's a good one.

01:42:54.000 Alexander Crisanti says, I am deploying down to Antarctica on Saturday for four months, providing food service at McMurdo.

01:43:00.000 Will miss listening to your show.

01:43:02.000 Also watch New York's midterms.

01:43:04.000 There's a lot of support for Zeldin upstate.

01:43:06.000 Should be close.

01:43:07.000 You don't got internet down at McMurdo?

01:43:08.000 They have Starlink down there now.

01:43:10.000 Do they?

01:43:10.000 Yeah, he should be able to get... You need a Starlink.

01:43:13.000 Yeah.

01:43:13.000 And unfortunately, Starlink is cell locked.

01:43:16.000 So they only work with specific satellites, so like the Starlink that I have won't work anywhere else.

01:43:21.000 Yeah, it works within like a 500 mile range of the area.

01:43:24.000 Oh, no, no, no, no.

01:43:25.000 Actually, though, the new Starlink RV works everywhere.

01:43:28.000 Yep.

01:43:29.000 So if you're going down there, get Starlink RV.

01:43:31.000 Maybe you can still watch the show.

01:43:33.000 Yeah.

01:43:34.000 That'd be cool.

01:43:35.000 At the very least, you can listen to it.

01:43:37.000 You got phones down there, right?

01:43:38.000 Someone can just call you and then press play and leave their phone and you can... Smoke signals.

01:43:43.000 That's how we're going to be talking in the future soon.

01:43:46.000 Smoke signal Morse code for every single word said.

01:43:49.000 It'll only take three weeks to give you the full show.

01:43:51.000 Just make sure you bring your flamethrower in case anything gets thawed from the ice that should never have been released.

01:43:58.000 Adrian Contreras says, $7.09 a gallon at the gas station in Hollywood yesterday.

01:44:01.000 Thank God my company pays for gas.

01:44:03.000 Also, Shaggy was named Norville in a show called Pup Named Scooby-Doo.

01:44:07.000 Scooby's real name is Scoobert.

01:44:08.000 Scoobert! 0.76

01:44:09.000 The more you know.

01:44:10.000 Best name ever.

01:44:11.000 Scoobert.

01:44:11.000 Yeah.

01:44:12.000 I'll lay off the Norville, Orville references then.

01:44:16.000 Norville.

01:44:19.000 Risin' Tactic says Whitmer killed the elderly.

01:44:22.000 Moderates in Michigan need to understand that they can vote for abortion and vote for Dixon.

01:44:26.000 Article 2, Section 9, Paragraph 5 of the Michigan Constitution prevents governors from vetoing ballot proposals.

01:44:32.000 Hmm.

01:44:33.000 Interesting.

01:44:35.000 Free Men Die Free says, quote, We need a vast military-style campaign.

01:44:39.000 Prince Charles to the World Economic Forum.

01:44:42.000 The Russia-Ukraine conflict is intentional to promote the Great Reset.

01:44:45.000 I don't know.

01:44:46.000 That's a bold thing.

01:44:48.000 I mean, Putin was on like a World Economic Forum website, wasn't he?

01:44:51.000 And then he got removed?

01:44:52.000 Yeah.

01:44:55.000 Here's a question.

01:44:55.000 Why wouldn't world leaders be in on it?

01:44:58.000 Why wouldn't all world leaders just hang out and be like, we're the best, we're the most powerful, we're in charge?

01:45:02.000 Why fight with anybody?

01:45:06.000 Why?

01:45:06.000 I don't know.

01:45:08.000 It's a good question.

01:45:09.000 It's like they're vying for position one, two, and three.

01:45:11.000 They want pole position in the new world order.

01:45:14.000 I don't know, man.

01:45:16.000 Putin's like the richest guy on the planet.

01:45:18.000 Wouldn't he just be like, eh, I'm rich.

01:45:20.000 Unless it's ideological and he's like, my people will not be subjugated, you know?

01:45:24.000 I think there probably is a little bit of that.

01:45:25.000 It's not all political.

01:45:28.000 Yeah.

01:45:31.000 What do we got?

01:45:31.000 We got some more Super Jets.

01:45:33.000 Porkchopolis.

01:45:34.000 Great name.

01:45:35.000 Says, I just hope World War III holds off until after the Super Mario movie drops in April.

01:45:39.000 Is that in April?

01:45:40.000 Priorities.

01:45:42.000 What's, uh, when's Wakanda Forever coming out?

01:45:45.000 Is that this November?

01:45:47.000 I'll check.

01:45:49.000 I will say, She-Hulk, today, I give a C+. 0.95

01:45:57.000 Oh, better.

01:45:57.000 Really?

01:45:58.000 Well, Daredevil's in it.

01:46:00.000 And Daredevil's a great character.

01:46:03.000 And I knew they were going to rob us of the scene we needed.

01:46:07.000 So, spoilers, I guess.

01:46:10.000 There's a scene where Daredevil is going to fight some dudes.

01:46:14.000 And, uh, it's been years since the Netflix show Daredevil, and we got to see that amazing uncut fight sequence in the hallway.

01:46:20.000 And so then a bunch of dudes run in, and I'm like, oh, this is it.

01:46:23.000 I know what's gonna happen.

01:46:25.000 You think you're gonna get an epic fight with- with Daredevil, but She-Hulk's just gonna one-shot. 0.88

01:46:30.000 And then, sure enough, he, like, gets ready, and he, like, pulls out his weapons, and then all of a sudden the ceiling collapses, and then She-Hulk's like, heh heh.

01:46:36.000 And I'm like, eh.

01:46:38.000 Yeah, but it was, but it was, it was, it was good.

01:46:40.000 It was good enough.

01:46:41.000 And I think it was mostly good because I, I'm watching Daredevil and I like, I like, you know, the Daredevil show and the character and everything.

01:46:47.000 Other than that, S.H.I.E.L.D.

01:46:48.000 has been pretty bad.

01:46:50.000 Pretty bad.

01:46:52.000 All right, ddmegadudu says, aside from not getting a notification, had a hard time trying to watch this on my TV.

01:47:01.000 The suggested vids were defaulted and had to type out the channel name completely.

01:47:05.000 Must be a good topic.

01:47:07.000 Yes, yes, indeed.

01:47:08.000 I think the reason YouTube's censoring us is because of the shaggy story in Velma. 0.98

01:47:12.000 That's probably it, yeah.

01:47:13.000 They were like, how dare you?

01:47:14.000 Yeah.

01:47:15.000 Yeah, that's a touchy one.

01:47:16.000 If you Google search Velma, it rains pride flags. 0.95

01:47:19.000 Yeah.

01:47:21.000 Yeah, that's weird.

01:47:24.000 Well, all right.

01:47:25.000 Velma Dinkley.

01:47:26.000 Velma Dinkley.

01:47:28.000 Joseph says, Simmer down, boys.

01:47:30.000 All they say is 4D chess.

01:47:32.000 What does that mean?

01:47:33.000 I don't know.

01:47:35.000 Sik Kamode O'Dragon says, Brick's partnership includes Russia and China.

01:47:40.000 She has more interest in Russia than the Ukraine.

01:47:43.000 Also, Russia won't use nukes.

01:47:44.000 They'll win without them.

01:47:46.000 Maybe.

01:47:49.000 Lance Link says Bush used tactical nukes in Iraq and no one ever said a thing.

01:47:53.000 I don't know if that's true.

01:47:55.000 I think the only time nukes have ever been used is, uh, Japan.

01:47:57.000 Are they talking about depleted uranium weaponry?

01:48:00.000 Because they would make tank armor out of depleted uranium.

01:48:02.000 It was so strong that you needed to make bullets out of depleted uranium to pierce the armor.

01:48:06.000 And then they'd shoot it and they would go into the dirt and just irradiate the soil around there.

01:48:10.000 It's still there, irradiating people and things.

01:48:13.000 Yeah.

01:48:13.000 Gulf War syndrome.

01:48:13.000 A lot of people have it.

01:48:15.000 So those are tactical nukes.

01:48:18.000 No, not really.

01:48:19.000 I mean, tactical nuclear weapons.

01:48:20.000 I don't know how you would... OG Lesbian says Hunter Biden the real savior of freedom and the USA. 1.00

01:48:28.000 Wow.

01:48:29.000 Who knew?

01:48:30.000 There you go.

01:48:30.000 There's a twist.

01:48:32.000 Leaking all this information on his dad.

01:48:35.000 What do we got here?

01:48:36.000 Rick Barley says, how you all feel about House of the Dragon and Rings of Power?

01:48:40.000 I feel the first House of the Dragon shows how to have a diverse cast while remaining faithful.

01:48:46.000 I immediately stopped watching it when they time jumped 10 years.

01:48:49.000 Because if I'm going to invest in a show, because I want to learn the story of a set of characters, and then you just end that whole story arc and then start a new one, I'm out.

01:49:00.000 It's like, I, I, man, it's, it's, it, I feel like I'm watching the wrong show.

01:49:05.000 I'm like, what happened?

01:49:06.000 There was a conflict.

01:49:08.000 Dude collapses, right?

01:49:09.000 King, what's his face?

01:49:11.000 Drops to the ground, you're like, whoa!

01:49:12.000 And then the next episode, ten years later, you're like, huh?

01:49:15.000 I heard from a lot of people it was pretty jarring.

01:49:18.000 Tons of people announced they dropped the show because of it.

01:49:21.000 I liked watching it, but I like being a contrarian and I like weird stuff.

01:49:27.000 It's totally different.

01:49:28.000 It totally catches you off guard.

01:49:30.000 I kind of like that.

01:49:34.000 Better Call Saul is one of the best I've ever seen.

01:49:37.000 From start to finish, you can see how they subtly and very slowly change the characters and how the stories evolve.

01:49:43.000 And the motivations are very satisfying.

01:49:45.000 Like, you never get some weird Revenge of the Sith moment where all of a sudden, you know, main character Jimmy McGill becomes Saw.

01:49:52.000 He doesn't just go like...

01:49:53.000 I'm gonna be evil now!

01:49:54.000 It's like, no, there's like a constant attempt at, like, sort of doing the right thing, and it's like a slow transition.

01:49:58.000 I'm like, this is great.

01:49:59.000 I heard it was brilliant.

01:50:00.000 What I want to know is how, what on earth happened between it, because the Rings of Power, one of their main writers, was the writer for Better Carl Saul, one of the main writers.

01:50:08.000 Really?

01:50:08.000 Yeah.

01:50:09.000 So like, I couldn't even watch 15 minutes.

01:50:10.000 I was like, what happened?

01:50:11.000 Like, what happened between Better Carl Saul and Rings of Power, like, for that, that quality to They talk about it, they've been watching every episode on Pop Culture Crisis, and it looks like they're trying to mimic the way that Tolkien wrote, his flowery language, but they're not writing it like Tolkien, they're just creating like a mockery.

01:50:28.000 It comes across like grade school philosophy, just like trying to sound really profound, but it's just silly.

01:50:35.000 Yeah, and then people get bored or confused.

01:50:37.000 And then they have so many characters that they're, like, showing you a little bit from... These characters, you don't know who they are or care about them because you don't know who they are.

01:50:44.000 And then there's just too many characters, too many storylines.

01:50:47.000 Kind of like the last season of Game of Thrones.

01:50:50.000 Yeah, that was a mess.

01:50:52.000 Yeah, there was nowhere for Game of Thrones to go, because it's kind of a nihilist story, so there's no redemptive arc to it.

01:50:58.000 They should have brought Ned Stark back.

01:51:00.000 The Red Witch should have resurrected him and he reunited him with his family. 0.77

01:51:03.000 I thought that would have been awesome.

01:51:04.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:51:06.000 Or, you know, George R.R.

01:51:08.000 Martin can finish writing the books.

01:51:10.000 Man, that show just went off a cliff.

01:51:13.000 Everybody was watching and talking about how awesome it was, and I was like, I don't care.

01:51:16.000 And then one day, I think I was on a plane to New Zealand, and it's a long flight, so they had like seven episodes of season four, I think it was, I can't remember.

01:51:25.000 And I started watching it, and I was like, this is really good, I need to stop watching it so I can start from the beginning.

01:51:29.000 And then I binge-watched from season one, and then, man, did that show fall off a cliff.

01:51:34.000 As soon as they got away from the books.

01:51:36.000 Because they had no idea what they were doing.

01:51:38.000 Same with Tolkien, too.

01:51:40.000 They thought they could write a show based on Tolkien's work with no source material, except these appendices that Tolkien wrote, and it just does not work, does not work at all.

01:51:52.000 John Gagner says I no longer get notifications from Timcast, IRL, Matt Walsh, Steven Crowder, Blair White, or Joe Rogan.

01:51:58.000 The war for your mind is real.

01:51:59.000 YOU MUST BE THE NOTIFICATIONS YOU WANT TO SEE IN THIS WORLD.

01:52:03.000 If YouTube isn't sending them out, then you need to take the videos and post them.

01:52:07.000 If you'd like to help us, it's the only way to overcome that attempt at shadowbanning, is to just push through with a grassroots effort.

01:52:14.000 That, and we're buying ads in Times Square, the entire North Tower, for New Year's, and it's going to be hilarious.

01:52:22.000 What's it going to say?

01:52:23.000 Tim Guest.

01:52:24.000 And, you know, when people are watching CNN, they're going to see it in the background.

01:52:27.000 It's going to be amazing.

01:52:28.000 We talked about The Babylon Bee doing something like that in California, putting up some billboards on Gavin Newsom's drive from his home to work.

01:52:39.000 You know, like, Satan approves Gavin Newsom's new abortion policy and have a picture of the devil up there or something.

01:52:44.000 Just like, have one billboard after another, knowing that he's gonna drive by them all.

01:52:48.000 I think that was inspired by you a little bit, because you were like, you really like billboards.

01:52:51.000 The Taylor Lorenz thing?

01:52:52.000 What's that?

01:52:52.000 The Taylor Lorenz thing.

01:52:53.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:52:54.000 I just, I tweeted kind of as a, I don't remember why I was thinking that.

01:52:57.000 I was like, do I gotta buy a billboard in Times Square saying that she did this so that people, like, you know, get it?

01:53:01.000 And then Jeremy Boring at the Daily Wire was like, I'm down, I'll get in on this.

01:53:05.000 And then we did, and then, They went nuts over there.

01:53:08.000 I love stunts like that, it's great.

01:53:09.000 Yeah, and then I was just like, I wonder why there are so many more people who have way more money than I do who don't try to just push back on this culture and they just don't care. 1.00

01:53:19.000 Because they're rich, bitch! 1.00

01:53:21.000 They don't want to, I don't know man, it's like risk. 1.00

01:53:23.000 A lot of people are risk averse.

01:53:25.000 Someone was saying when they have kids, when people have kids you get more conservative too.

01:53:28.000 What do they do?

01:53:29.000 Like, I was watching Trevor Noah quits, right?

01:53:31.000 And I read that his salary was 16 million dollars per year.

01:53:35.000 And I'm like, Homeboy's getting more than a million bucks a month.

01:53:38.000 What does he do with all that money?

01:53:40.000 Like at a certain point, you're just like, I have too much money.

01:53:42.000 Does he just like give it to needy kids?

01:53:45.000 Cause you don't see it.

01:53:47.000 Now I'm not saying, I'm not trying to rag on Trevor Noah for that.

01:53:49.000 I'm just saying like very, very wealthy people and you never see.

01:53:52.000 So what do they do?

01:53:52.000 Do they just like give it to a wealth manager and say, figure it out, I guess?

01:53:55.000 That seems just so boring.

01:53:57.000 Lame.

01:53:57.000 Yeah, I mean, this idea that your money has to make money, I mean, if you're that rich, you don't need more money.

01:54:05.000 I don't see why you wouldn't dump it into things that create cultural capital, you know?

01:54:09.000 It's rewarding to see the culture move, you know what I mean?

01:54:12.000 Why aren't more investors doing that?

01:54:14.000 Don't people want to do this?

01:54:14.000 Invest in movies, invest in TV shows.

01:54:16.000 Unfortunately, a lot of people, very, very rich people do, call it impact investment, you know, billionaires.

01:54:21.000 Yeah, but it's all leftists!

01:54:22.000 Yeah.

01:54:23.000 There's like, Peter Thiel's doing some stuff, but man, I gotta tell you, if I had 1 billion dollars, let alone 5 to 20, I'd be funding crazy stuff.

01:54:33.000 You know what I would do?

01:54:35.000 If I had a billion dollars, I would set up a table, I would get, obviously, security guards, and then I would let people line up outside and come in one at a time with their proposals, and I'd just be writing checks.

01:54:45.000 I'd be like, well, like Shark Tank.

01:54:46.000 You should do a show like that.

01:54:47.000 Not even like Shark Tank.

01:54:48.000 That'd be funny.

01:54:48.000 I'd just be like, what's your idea?

01:54:49.000 And the guy's like, I want to open a bacon store.

01:54:52.000 What's that?

01:54:52.000 It sells bacon.

01:54:53.000 Anything else?

01:54:54.000 Just bacon.

01:54:55.000 Done.

01:54:55.000 How much do you need?

01:54:56.000 There you go.

01:54:56.000 Have a nice day.

01:54:58.000 You should do that.

01:54:59.000 That'd be funny.

01:54:59.000 I'd get a percentage of the company.

01:55:00.000 It's an investment.

01:55:01.000 But like, roll with it, man.

01:55:04.000 Just do fun stuff.

01:55:06.000 Why not?

01:55:07.000 I would put money in, I would like, hire a bunch of people and be like, let's make a graphic novel publishing arm, you know, so we're trying to do this stuff, obviously, but I just, it's, I wish I made a fraction of the money some of these guys make, but what do they do with it all?

01:55:19.000 They could, especially the ones who complain about the culture war and are concerned about free speech, I'm like, bro, you got a billion dollars.

01:55:25.000 You could, you could fart and impact media.

01:55:28.000 Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post!

01:55:29.000 Yep.

01:55:30.000 We don't gotta, come on, man.

01:55:32.000 And not only that, but people are starving for that.

01:55:35.000 People are starving for good stories because they just don't exist anymore.

01:55:39.000 I was talking about how I wanted to open a cafe and then open it up next to Starbucks and then do a really great co-op deal where we just pay the staff really, really well and then convince everyone to quit Starbucks and come work for us.

01:55:50.000 We will be not woke and we will pay way better than all these megacorporations.

01:55:54.000 Because our end goal won't be to just generate massive profits for the shareholders, it will be to push back on the culture and make a statement.

01:56:02.000 To all of these companies that want to engage in this weird cult-like woke behavior, we will make a competitive market option where people won't want to work for you and won't want to buy from you.

01:56:13.000 But I can't do that right now because that requires a lot of money.

01:56:18.000 Where are the mega wealthy?

01:56:21.000 Trump could do this.

01:56:23.000 He did start Truth Social.

01:56:25.000 He made Truth Social.

01:56:25.000 Sure.

01:56:26.000 But he took a lot of donations and hasn't really done much with it.

01:56:30.000 That's just so weird to me.

01:56:32.000 I don't know, that's just me.

01:56:33.000 Maybe I'm crazy.

01:56:35.000 We had someone on the show who said that power likes to be hidden.

01:56:38.000 And I'm like, that's really it.

01:56:40.000 People don't want anyone to know that they... And I totally get it.

01:56:43.000 Yeah, that was Tucker Max.

01:56:44.000 That was a good conversation.

01:56:46.000 Because there are people, I gotta tell you, when people find out you're successful, they crawl out of the woodwork.

01:56:50.000 I couldn't imagine what it must be like for someone who wins the lottery.

01:56:52.000 I read a story about a dude in India who won the lottery and then people started harassing him and targeting his family, demanding money, just crazy stuff.

01:57:01.000 Dude, I watched a Mr. Beast video where they did that thing where it's like you gotta put your hand in the million dollars and whoever's the last person wins it.

01:57:08.000 And then guys like, I promise 50 grand to this person, that person.

01:57:11.000 I'm like, dude, you're gonna get a phone call from every single person you've ever met talking about how you're their best friend and they always believed in you and now they need 50 grand.

01:57:19.000 Yeah.

01:57:19.000 That's the way it works, man.

01:57:20.000 Messes up your life.

01:57:22.000 But that's why people try to keep it a secret.

01:57:24.000 That's why, like a lot of people, they win the lottery, they don't want anyone to know.

01:57:27.000 That's probably why a lot of these well-off individuals don't buy billboards in Times Square.

01:57:31.000 They don't want to make themselves the center of attention or anything like that.

01:57:35.000 But they could finance someone else that pushes the same messages and morals.

01:57:39.000 Through a foundation they start and give money to.

01:57:41.000 There is that one that I'm thinking of.

01:57:43.000 We got George Soros doing this like crazy.

01:57:45.000 You got Mackenzie Bezos and Jeff Bezos both doing it.

01:57:47.000 Bill Gates funding.

01:57:48.000 Bill Gates.

01:57:48.000 Where is anybody else?

01:57:51.000 You've probably seen the billboards.

01:57:54.000 The values, pass it on.

01:57:57.000 Courage, pass it on.

01:58:00.000 Thankfulness, pass it on.

01:58:01.000 It's just a billboard.

01:58:02.000 It has a character quality and maybe an inspiring figure.

01:58:06.000 That whole campaign is just financed by some billionaire who lives in Colorado.

01:58:11.000 That's nice.

01:58:12.000 I want to make the world better and I want to make people better, so they just purchase billboards everywhere.

01:58:17.000 Very cool.

01:58:17.000 I don't know if it's moving the needle at all, but there's an example of it.

01:58:23.000 I think billboards aren't particularly effective.

01:58:25.000 The thing about Times Square is it has a decent amount of, a decent effect, and it was kind of just to make a statement like, we can do this.

01:58:35.000 Gets people talking about it.

01:58:36.000 Well, you know, yeah.

01:58:38.000 It's that we have come to the point of success where we rival you.

01:58:41.000 You are not the elites anymore.

01:58:42.000 We are here.

01:58:43.000 And that's why we decided against doing any hard political messaging that was like, Directly attacking the establishment.

01:58:50.000 What we, you know, the most, the closest we get to is Michael Malice's quote on the Times Square billboard saying, uh, the corporate press gives you the narrative, Tim Cass gives you the news.

01:58:59.000 And we talked about it and it's like, if you create an ad that insults the establishment, you are setting yourself apart and telling regular people you are not a part of the machine.

01:59:08.000 You are not rivaling them.

01:59:10.000 If you just put your ads up there, you're just sitting there next to Coca-Cola and M&M.

01:59:14.000 People are gonna associate you with, you know, dominant culture, and that's the goal.

01:59:17.000 The goal is to just tell people, we are winning.

01:59:21.000 We are here.

01:59:23.000 Don't worry about it.

01:59:24.000 You're gonna hear more from us.

01:59:25.000 And you do, I mean, you do feel that.

01:59:27.000 You feel that the dominant culture and this legacy media... I watched a late night comedy show last night for like the first time in years because I was in a hotel and that's, you know, there's nothing else to watch.

01:59:38.000 It is so sad.

01:59:40.000 It seems so... it's just empty.

01:59:43.000 The laughs are not there anymore.

01:59:45.000 You do get the sense that this legacy media that ruled the airwaves for 50, 60 years is really dying.

01:59:54.000 There's just nothing left.

01:59:55.000 No one's watching this stuff anymore.

01:59:56.000 I got that with Colbert.

01:59:57.000 I don't know which one.

01:59:58.000 Yeah, I watch Colbert and I watch Seth Meyers.

02:00:01.000 And it was just sad.

02:00:01.000 It was politics.

02:00:02.000 It was politics.

02:00:03.000 It wasn't funny.

02:00:05.000 The guests weren't funny.

02:00:06.000 And I'm wondering, who's watching this stuff?

02:00:07.000 And Greg Gutfeld on Fox News is beating them in the ratings.

02:00:11.000 And there are YouTube channels that are beating him in the ratings.

02:00:14.000 So you really do get the sense that they're on their way out.

02:00:18.000 We were getting more views on our show than Trevor Noah was getting on his show.

02:00:24.000 But he was getting more YouTube views on the clips from his show than our clips got on this show, so it was interesting.

02:00:29.000 For, like, if you were to compare this live show to his show, granted, I guess his show is shorter, so you can argue that, you know, there's a way to argue he was doing better, I suppose.

02:00:40.000 And YouTube probably promotes it, too.

02:00:42.000 I mean...

02:00:42.000 Oh, that's the thing about him, CNN and all that.

02:00:45.000 They're just getting pushed, pushed up.

02:00:46.000 We're fighting against the censorship.

02:00:48.000 They're getting actively promoted.

02:00:49.000 Yeah, I'd rather I listen.

02:00:50.000 Let's grab.

02:00:51.000 We just got to grab one more.

02:00:53.000 Yeah, like, okay, one more super chat.

02:00:55.000 Mark.

02:00:56.000 Mark ashamed says F in the chat for a kid or hate a law.

02:00:59.000 Who is next?

02:01:00.000 Google is also pushing for him to be disbarred.

02:01:03.000 Google is or people are Well, the story I've heard, this may not be accurate either, is that he, uh, people complained to the bar about trying to get him disbarred, and then he doxed them, but it turns out, according to Jeremy the Quartering, he wasn't actually doxing them, he was displaying information that was already public, and then YouTube banned him for that, and this is unclear, I don't know if that's confirmed.

02:01:24.000 All right, everybody.
