Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Ukraine Files To Join NATO Which Would Formally Start WW3 w-Will Chamberlain

00:00:00.000 Oh, you know, Vladimir Putin's talking about nukes or whatever.

00:00:24.000 The other day we were like, oh man, you know, World War 3, cause this, uh, NATO thing.

00:00:28.000 You know, NATO's basically like, somebody sabotaged something, and if you come for us, we will retaliate with collective force.

00:00:35.000 And we're like, what does that mean?

00:00:36.000 But it does sound like we're, you know, we're walking into what I would consider to be like World War 3 territory.

00:00:41.000 And then today, Vladimir Putin announces he's annexing four regions, I suppose, of Ukraine.

00:00:48.000 And then Volodymyr Zelensky formally files to join NATO.

00:00:53.000 And if that actually happens, It is World War III. This would mean that NATO enters in,

00:00:59.000 would admit Ukraine into the military alliance, fully understanding that they are currently at

00:01:04.000 war. But of course they do.

00:01:06.000 NATO is basically funding the entire operation. So why would NATO say no to Ukraine? Hey,

00:01:11.000 we all knew what was going on. Let's just make it official.

00:01:16.000 How about that?

00:01:18.000 So we'll talk about that, plus a bunch of other stories.

00:01:20.000 Text messages from Elon Musk released.

00:01:23.000 Oh, this one's gonna be funny.

00:01:25.000 Elon may have to buy Twitter, so that'll get interesting.

00:02:30.000 And looking forward to talking about, well I guess not looking forward to talking about, we're facing World War 3.

00:02:38.000 A big fan of Dilbert, very happy to have him here with us here.

00:02:42.000 I forgot about that.

00:02:45.000 That's right, that was your old nickname for me.

00:02:48.000 And guys, okay, I promise, I promise, it's over.

00:02:52.000 Or is it?

00:02:54.000 No, no, no more.

00:02:57.000 What are you doing? 0.96

00:02:57.000 No more goofs. 0.96

00:02:58.000 I promise.

00:02:59.000 I'm just kidding.

00:03:00.000 I just wanted to see how you guys would react.

00:03:01.000 I had a lot of things to get off my chest this week.

00:03:04.000 So I thank you so much for being patiently with me as we had this burden lifted away from all of us.

00:03:11.000 And okay, we're gonna be serious.

00:03:13.000 And this is why I'm wearing a very serious shirt.

00:03:15.000 That says, I identify as hyperinflation with our wonderful, bodacious inspiration to us all that you could get on thebestpoliticalshirts.com because you do that.

00:03:25.000 This is why I'm here.

00:03:26.000 Thank you again so much for having me and dealing with me and my humor and my... I like that shirt a lot.

00:03:31.000 My pranks and my goofs.

00:03:32.000 Hey everyone, I did my part, I'm doing my part to preserve world peace by learning the Cyrillic alphabet last night.

00:03:38.000 I believe I have it memorized, so I'm going to recite it really quick.

00:03:40.000 quick it's a baby gay day yeah yo Jay Zee e crack a ya ka lmnop rst o f ha say 0.96

00:03:53.000 I learned letter by letter last night on the internet and then I was memorizing and I just kept repeating it. 0.56

00:04:01.000 Thank you.

00:04:02.000 That was impressive.

00:04:03.000 You didn't cheat.

00:04:04.000 You didn't cheat.

00:04:05.000 I haven't memorized.

00:04:06.000 I did it.

00:04:07.000 I learned letter by letter last night on the internet and then I was memorizing and I

00:04:09.000 just kept repeating it.

00:04:10.000 I repeated it like 15 times.

00:04:12.000 The way to do it is you do as many as you can until you mess one up and you start over.

00:04:16.000 And you do that until you can get it in one playthrough, and then you repeat the playthrough eight or more times, and after that you'll have it memorized.

00:04:22.000 A lot of people don't know this, but Luke only reads Cyrillic.

00:04:25.000 Yeah, his computer translates all- it's all English.

00:04:28.000 But it's just Cyrillic.

00:04:29.000 It's all scribbled.

00:04:30.000 Full disclaimer, there are two silent letters that don't make a sound.

00:04:32.000 It's a soft accent and a hard accent.

00:04:34.000 Wait, are you saying Tim Cass D-I-R-L has been infiltrated by the Russians?

00:04:37.000 No, he's Polish.

00:04:38.000 Oh, that's right, sorry.

00:04:40.000 Infiltrated by the Poles. 1.00

00:04:43.000 And the great thing about Cyrillic... Yeah, they're NATO, so we're good.

00:04:45.000 Cyrillic is it's phonetic, so if you see the letters on a map, on a screen, you can just pronounce them each phonetically.

00:04:50.000 There's no, like, O-I-S going wah or anything. 1.00

00:04:53.000 There's nothing like that in Russian.

00:04:54.000 Oh yeah, no, English is bizarre.

00:04:56.000 Yeah, it's very easy to read once you know what the letters are.

00:04:58.000 Have fun with it.

00:04:59.000 Well, we are all preparing for World War III differently.

00:05:02.000 I'm just here pushing buttons in the corner and I'm excited to hear what we have to talk about.

00:05:05.000 I just want to bring something up before we start the show.

00:05:09.000 So, we've got big news.

00:05:12.000 This New Year's, we have acquired something called the North End Domination of Times Square.

00:05:19.000 Which is, there's two towers.

00:05:21.000 There's the Ball Drop Tower and the North Tower.

00:05:24.000 On the North Tower is a series of ads.

00:05:26.000 Two of them I think belong to, but like overtly belong to like Coke or something.

00:05:31.000 You can't get them.

00:05:32.000 We bought all the other ones.

00:05:33.000 So on New Year's Eve, and we don't have 100% control of it, we get, I think we're getting 10%.

00:05:39.000 But this means on New Year's Eve, with everybody watching all around the world and CNN standing there, you are going to see Timcast on the entirety of the tower.

00:05:48.000 Left, right, top, bottom, sides.

00:05:50.000 And I'm trying to figure out exactly what it should say.

00:05:53.000 But it should say something good.

00:05:55.000 Something very good.

00:05:55.000 Yeah.

00:05:56.000 And along with this, we are also cordially invited to New York's official Times Square VIP elite party, where the politicians are going to be, and we're bringing Luke.

00:06:06.000 I'm excited.

00:06:07.000 I'm excited to mingle with the Illuminati.

00:06:12.000 Giuliano will be there and you'll be like, you know what happened.

00:06:16.000 So this is, it's going to be on during the New Year celebration.

00:06:20.000 And, um, You know, the whole point of doing it, I guess, is... We have a story today, we'll maybe talk about Trevor Noah quitting, and I'm just looking at the ratings collapse of all these channels, the rise of independent media, seeing what the Daily Wire's been pulling off, and what we are able to accomplish, and...

00:06:39.000 You know, there's a lot of people who have the means, but they don't do this kind of stuff, but I'm all about it.

00:06:43.000 I'm 100% culture warrior baby.

00:06:45.000 So we are going to have, I think it's five different billboards all at once on the whole tower.

00:06:50.000 And we got to figure out exactly what we want to say, but it's going to say something fun.

00:06:54.000 There are restrictions, but it can say something cool.

00:06:57.000 Like you are not the elite anymore.

00:06:59.000 Something like that.

00:07:00.000 Watch Tim cast IRL or whatever.

00:07:02.000 And it's going to, it's just.

00:07:03.000 The whole thing is we are taking over the cultural spaces.

00:07:07.000 We are pushing them out.

00:07:08.000 We are taking the spaces they have ceded.

00:07:10.000 And then we are going to be standing there in the party with New York politicians and, you know, corporate elites.

00:07:17.000 I was kind of shocked when I talked to the company about this and they said, yeah, you know, we'll get you in the party.

00:07:21.000 And I'm like, are you sure?

00:07:23.000 And I'm like, okay.

00:07:23.000 And they're like, yeah.

00:07:25.000 I'm like, because it's not like we're going to act a fool or anything, but it's going to be really interesting to say the least.

00:07:32.000 I just wanted to say that, and I wanted to say thank you to everybody who supports the show.

00:07:37.000 We weren't sure exactly if we wanted to do this, because I was like, does it really matter that we're going to have this massive portion of Times Square on New Year's?

00:07:44.000 And I talked to a few people, and the answer was kind of like a, yeah, probably?

00:07:49.000 Cause that's a, that's a, that's a big statement to make, especially when they're constantly smearing us and lying about us in the media.

00:07:54.000 Just to, just to assert ourselves above them and then have it be on every TV screen when Times Square is shown all around the world for the countdown.

00:08:00.000 It's good to do something like just seriously inspirational.

00:08:03.000 Cause then no one can complain. 1.00

00:08:04.000 And if they do, they look like a fool. 0.99

00:08:06.000 I don't know. 0.99

00:08:06.000 I was kind of, you know, do we want to have a chip on our shoulder and insult the establishment? 0.99

00:08:11.000 Or do we want to just brag and be like, we're here, baby.

00:08:14.000 Yeah.

00:08:14.000 Pump up the kids, man.

00:08:15.000 Give them something to live for.

00:08:16.000 That's a good point.

00:08:17.000 Or just send a message that makes them think and breaks the conditioning.

00:08:21.000 That would be powerful.

00:08:22.000 That's why you're gone.

00:08:23.000 Yeah, typically it's been me, Luke, Ian, and Michael Malice on the ads that we've done on Times Square.

00:08:29.000 I'm thinking maybe we go with the same thing.

00:08:30.000 That'd be cool.

00:08:31.000 But we'll see.

00:08:31.000 We'll see what we have.

00:08:32.000 Let's read the news.

00:08:33.000 Let's jump into the story from The Guardian.

00:08:35.000 Ukraine applies for NATO membership after Russia annexes territory.

00:08:39.000 Vladimir Zelensky dismisses Moscow ceremony as a farce and rules out negotiations with Putin.

00:08:45.000 There you go.

00:08:46.000 There, uh, there he is.

00:08:48.000 He signed the paperwork.

00:08:49.000 I thought it was funny because like, I don't know what that paperwork says.

00:08:51.000 For all I know, it could be like an order form for Giordano's or something, you know, but, but he signed it and we watched him do it.

00:08:57.000 And he said it was to join NATO.

00:08:59.000 If Ukraine were admitted into NATO right now, we would formally be in World War III. 0.56

00:09:04.000 Correct.

00:09:05.000 Because of Article 5.

00:09:07.000 What is the Article 5?

00:09:08.000 Is that you gotta defend the NATO allies?

00:09:09.000 Yeah, common defense.

00:09:10.000 But if they're already at war, then it wouldn't trigger Article 5, as far as I'm concerned.

00:09:14.000 I don't know, actually, but I'm pretty sure that, effectively, that's saying we're at war, and that Russia is now at war with the NATO alliance.

00:09:22.000 Yeah, it's a mutual alliance pact, so if one member of NATO gets attacked, all of NATO has to come in and protect that one particular country that got attacked.

00:09:29.000 But I think the way... Sorry, go ahead.

00:09:30.000 I think the pact's work is if you're not in NATO when you get attacked, you can't be like, oops, hey guys, can I join NATO in retrospect?

00:09:37.000 No, you weren't in NATO.

00:09:38.000 Well, but people aren't going to let them in.

00:09:40.000 That's the way this whole conundrum gets solved, is that NATO is not going to admit Ukraine You know, I lean towards that because it seems absurd for, like, you need one NATO member state to be like, nah, nah, nah, nah, but considering the fact that NATO is basically already involved.

00:09:56.000 I mean, it's, you know, it's one thing to be already involved, it's another thing to be formally at war.

00:10:00.000 My understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, is doesn't Article 5 actually say that the attacked nation gets to dictate the terms of the assistance?

00:10:08.000 I don't know.

00:10:09.000 Let's pull up Article 5 of NATO.

00:10:11.000 I think, and I could be wrong, I thought it was something like, you know, if like France is attacked, then France says, okay, we need help and you guys are going to supply us with this.

00:10:19.000 This is how World War I got started.

00:10:21.000 It was a bunch of defensive PACs.

00:10:22.000 We want to avoid that.

00:10:24.000 I was just going to say that. 0.98

00:10:25.000 I was going to say historians reading our current history a hundred years from now are going to be like, these idiots didn't figure out from the First World War that they shouldn't have huge alliances and PACs and protecting each other. 0.97

00:10:37.000 There was a Second World War and a Third World War and of course there's that famous Einstein quote. 0.96

00:10:42.000 About World War three being fought with weapons that are unknown, but World War four and five being fought with sticks and stones I'm butchering the quote here, but but you get the gist of what I'm saying here, and this is just an atrocious Situation that is extremely dangerous for everyone and it's ridiculous.

00:11:00.000 You said World War five?

00:11:02.000 World War four, World War five.

00:11:04.000 Yeah, it was like I know not I'll pull it up, just in case.

00:11:08.000 He says, I know not what weapons World War III would be fought with, but I know that World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

00:11:15.000 Yes.

00:11:16.000 And then he goes on to say that World War V is going to be lit.

00:11:16.000 That's a good quote.

00:11:19.000 And I was like, oh wow, that's great.

00:11:21.000 It's a really terrible situation.

00:11:23.000 I mean, first off, it's terrible that we have Russia annexing parts of Ukraine and saying, well, this is now Russia.

00:11:29.000 Because that puts Putin in a place where he doesn't have an easy way to back down.

00:11:34.000 Oh, that's impossible to back down.

00:11:35.000 Right, he can't back down.

00:11:38.000 But neither can any other Russian leader if someone were to take over after him.

00:11:42.000 It's kind of like saying, this is what I wanted, now I've got it, so leave me alone.

00:11:46.000 A little bit, but he's saying that Ukrainian territory is now Russian territory, and so it kind of eliminates the possibility of some sort of territorial compromise, because ultimately You want Russia?

00:12:02.000 You know, I mean, you want a negotiated agreement here.

00:12:04.000 I think we all think that's best because we don't want nuclear war.

00:12:09.000 If Putin is dying, like they say he is, and someone else comes in, that's it.

00:12:16.000 What do you do then?

00:12:17.000 Cede your newly annexed territory back to Ukraine?

00:12:19.000 You don't liberate it.

00:12:21.000 It's also important to note here that the person that is most likely to take over for Putin is more of a war hawk than he is.

00:12:28.000 We're also in a place where Russia hasn't officially declared war, even though we are in a war.

00:12:35.000 Obviously, he's still calling it a limited military operation, but I do think that this setup could be the larger setup for the use of nuclear weapons, smaller tactical nuclear weapons, but also this could be, with his annexation of four new territories and regions today, an excuse to call out for a full all-out war, and then he's going to attack the infrastructure He's going to get on the energy grid, and then truly, we will see a very large escalation, and Will, you know, I agree with you, but I disagree with you when you said, you know, NATO's gonna say no, because with how crazy this situation has been already, with how far it has been escalating, who knows if NATO says, the situation got even crazier, he used nukes, let's just accept Ukraine right now and just make it official.

00:13:24.000 I see that as a small possibility, But right now, unlikely, but who knows how far we're going to go.

00:13:31.000 I think that in the world where Putin actually did use tactical nuclear weapons, I don't know what NATO would do.

00:13:37.000 I mean, that's a terrifying world.

00:13:39.000 I don't think they retaliate.

00:13:40.000 Yeah.

00:13:41.000 There was a really funny quote that I read.

00:13:43.000 I can't remember who it was from, but they said, if Russia were to nuke a NATO member state, NATO would not respond with a nuclear strike against Russia.

00:13:55.000 They said you would have to, the president would have to be a madman to sacrifice Boston for, what was it, what's the Polish city, Poznan?

00:14:03.000 Poznan.

00:14:04.000 Poznan.

00:14:05.000 He said you'd have to be a madman to sacrifice Boston for Poznan. 0.97

00:14:08.000 Well, you know, there's a lot of things that we also have to understand here, especially when it comes to our chain of command, which is in the hands of some very crazy people, and incompetent people, and people who, of course, don't have their brains working correctly as well.

00:14:25.000 All the possibilities are on the table here, and this is why the situation is so dangerous.

00:14:28.000 And it's not just Joe Biden at the helm here.

00:14:30.000 It's individuals like Victoria Nuland, who, of course, have an agenda to push this conflict to the furthest extent that she could possibly see it.

00:14:39.000 The United States is answering today by announcing $12.3 billion additionally to Ukraine as a part of a U.S.

00:14:46.000 government shutdown bill.

00:14:48.000 Biden also just announced new sanctions.

00:14:50.000 Poland is handing out radiation pills.

00:14:53.000 This is this is crazy as, of course, there's a major battle now happening in in Lyman, a major key city that's going to decide this conflict in a very major way within the next coming days.

00:15:04.000 And and also there's battles around a Ukrainian power plant.

00:15:08.000 Things are absolutely absurd.

00:15:10.000 And I think they reached a point where I think there's no going back from it.

00:15:14.000 Sadly, I wish there was.

00:15:15.000 But this to me is is is dangerous and extremely, extremely horrible for everyone involved here.

00:15:22.000 So what have you guys done to prepare for nuclear war?

00:15:25.000 Learn Cyrillic, my man.

00:15:26.000 That's one way to start.

00:15:27.000 No, see, Ian's not telling you.

00:15:29.000 He's saying it's for world peace, but the reality is he thinks Russia's gonna win, so he's getting ready. 0.95

00:15:32.000 I want to avoid a conflict at all costs.

00:15:34.000 No, no, when we're in the gulags, the actual Russian ones, he's gonna be the guy making sure we get food by talking to guards.

00:15:39.000 It's like the man in High Castle, but in reverse, right?

00:15:41.000 Like, basically, like the Russians have taken over the United States, and Ian's found a position among the occupying government.

00:15:48.000 I learned that the best way to avoid death and destruction and chaos is diplomacy, so I'm rolling with that one.

00:15:54.000 What about you, Will?

00:15:55.000 Have you built your underground bunker yet?

00:15:56.000 No, no, I haven't done that.

00:15:58.000 I'm still living in Arlington, which seems unwise.

00:16:01.000 That's like the worst place to be.

00:16:05.000 I don't even think, like, the world leaders would be there.

00:16:07.000 No, I think they'll have retired to some bunker in Oklahoma.

00:16:11.000 I don't see World War III here.

00:16:13.000 What were you going to say?

00:16:14.000 I do have a friend with a nuclear bunker.

00:16:17.000 Yeah, a nuclear.

00:16:20.000 Just like Bush said it.

00:16:23.000 I just paid him a visit a couple weeks ago.

00:16:25.000 So he says come on over.

00:16:27.000 I would like to visit just for fun.

00:16:29.000 That'd be cool.

00:16:29.000 Yeah, if you guys want to come.

00:16:30.000 I'm looking at the annex.

00:16:31.000 Shouts out to Joe B. Weeks.

00:16:32.000 He's awesome.

00:16:32.000 Nice.

00:16:33.000 I'm looking at what actually got annexed.

00:16:35.000 It's for what is called Oblast Lugansk Donetsk Zaporizhia.

00:16:39.000 I don't know how you pronounce that.

00:16:40.000 Zaporizhia.

00:16:41.000 Zaporizhia.

00:16:43.000 He annexed Crimea in 2014.

00:16:46.000 But what it does is it takes Highway M14, which is the east-west highway from Russia, and it goes east, or goes west rather, to, it also took Highway East 105 and East 97 that go north-south.

00:16:58.000 So he took the east-west highway that connects to these two north-south highways that take you down out of Crimea.

00:17:03.000 They want a trade post in Sevastopol.

00:17:05.000 That's the whole point, is to be able to move military and trade stuff into the Mediterranean.

00:17:10.000 At this point, I don't understand why they're not in NATO with us and one of our best trade allies.

00:17:14.000 They have so much resources.

00:17:16.000 They're a federation, like the United States.

00:17:18.000 It's a federated group of states.

00:17:19.000 Well, strategically, geopolitically, China is also emerging as a power that is threatening American hegemony.

00:17:26.000 And if you were calling American foreign policy, I think it would be in the best interest to have good relations with either of those countries in order to make sure that they don't come together.

00:17:38.000 I think we've done the opposite of that.

00:17:40.000 And I think we're creating a situation that truly is highlighting a West versus East situation, which is not beneficial to anyone.

00:17:48.000 It has to be on purpose, you know.

00:17:49.000 I'm, in many circumstances, well beyond believing in coincidence.

00:17:53.000 And considering what Joe Biden's, how he's been very favorable or deferential to China, this greatly benefits China.

00:17:59.000 Yeah.

00:18:00.000 You know, the US and Russia fighting.

00:18:02.000 Some have actually argued, I think we were talking about this the other day, that China may have been the one who sabotaged Nord Stream to force Russia and NATO to fight so that they could then make a move on Taiwan.

00:18:10.000 I could see that.

00:18:11.000 I could see, I mean, I could see a third, you know, third parties who wanted to just inflame things further.

00:18:17.000 And that makes sense to me. 0.95

00:18:18.000 It makes more sense to me than Russia doing it, which just is completely ridiculous. 0.69

00:18:22.000 But they're saying there are a bunch of articles that it was like people are pushing conspiracy theories that the West destroyed the North Stream Pipeline.

00:18:30.000 And they're all citing anonymous government sources saying 100% it was Russia, 100%.

00:18:35.000 I'm like, where's the evidence?

00:18:36.000 Where's the proof?

00:18:37.000 And the person even saying this is not putting their name behind this, a part of the U.S.

00:18:41.000 government intelligence agencies that, of course, everyone's naming as a source.

00:18:45.000 Who's the source?

00:18:46.000 I tweeted, I said, so let me get this straight.

00:18:49.000 The official narrative is that Russia blew up their own pipeline and not, say, their enemies who they're currently at war with?

00:18:55.000 Like, that's just nuts.

00:18:57.000 If I see two guys and they're screaming at each other and they're like, you know, if I ever see you, I'm going to knock you out.

00:19:03.000 And then the guy is found knocked out outside of the other dude's house.

00:19:06.000 I'm not going to be like, he must have hit himself.

00:19:08.000 Yeah, right.

00:19:09.000 I mean, Biden said he would.

00:19:12.000 He said it.

00:19:12.000 He's like, oh yeah, we'll make Nord Stream go away.

00:19:14.000 And then it went away.

00:19:15.000 He was like, oh, other guy did that.

00:19:16.000 Not me.

00:19:17.000 What?

00:19:18.000 I love the media.

00:19:19.000 It's just, it's, you know, maybe this is where it's become so laughably absurd that people just can't accept it anymore.

00:19:23.000 Yeah.

00:19:24.000 David Frum had a thing.

00:19:25.000 He had a tweets thread where he was talking about how he wrote an article called Unpatriotic Conservatives back in 2003 about people who opposed Iraq, you know, who were correct about that. 1.00

00:19:34.000 Absolutely.

00:19:35.000 And now he's like, yeah, the unpatriotic conservatives are back.

00:19:38.000 My article aged really well.

00:19:39.000 And it's the people who are, you know, doubting the U.S.

00:19:42.000 intelligence services account that Russia blew up its own pipeline.

00:19:47.000 Imagine the hubris.

00:19:48.000 Right.

00:19:48.000 Just the level of, one, you can't be if you question our intelligence agencies, which have been routinely wrong and also lied to Americans routinely, then you are not patriotic or you are.

00:19:58.000 I mean, it's the the number of different Like, logical leaps you have to take to get to David Frum's reasoning?

00:20:05.000 I wouldn't even push back.

00:20:06.000 I wouldn't say they were wrong.

00:20:07.000 I think they were deliberately lying.

00:20:09.000 I think they had an agenda.

00:20:10.000 They had profits that they wanted to get.

00:20:12.000 They had people that they needed to please.

00:20:13.000 And I think they deliberately said, yeah, they got WMDs, when they knew they didn't.

00:20:17.000 As, of course, the United States government also had the receipts to the chemical weapons that they were selling to Iraq when Iraq was fighting with Iran.

00:20:24.000 And what did the war in Iraq do?

00:20:26.000 Well, it created ISIS. 0.79

00:20:27.000 It allowed Iran to have a larger sphere of influence in the entire Middle East.

00:20:31.000 It allowed, of course, the destruction and the death of what people estimate to be over a million people.

00:20:37.000 Why did we do this?

00:20:38.000 WMDs?

00:20:39.000 Yeah.

00:20:39.000 I don't know.

00:20:40.000 I'm reading a book about the CIA right now, which is actually very good. 0.98

00:20:43.000 And the overall lesson of this book so far is that the CIA has a reputation for like secrecy and competence, but it's actually just absurdly stupid and has made huge mistakes. 0.73

00:20:53.000 I think You know, early in the Cold War, what they did, their whole plan was like, we're going to create these little partisan armies in all the communist states. 0.90

00:21:00.000 And they just dropped it, like dropped partisans, you know, and refugees.

00:21:05.000 They just dropped them in or like, go infiltrate the government.

00:21:07.000 And they all died.

00:21:08.000 All the agents.

00:21:09.000 They just all died.

00:21:10.000 Like all of them everywhere.

00:21:11.000 Like in the Korean War, they dropped a bunch of Koreans into North Korea.

00:21:14.000 All of them captured, killed.

00:21:16.000 Everyone. 0.80

00:21:16.000 Just one comment really quickly. 0.80

00:21:18.000 If I was the CIA, I would be also pretending to be really stupid in order to cover for all my illegal actions and horrible crap that I did. 0.99

00:21:25.000 Right, right, right. 1.00

00:21:26.000 Well, that may be.

00:21:27.000 But we all know the real reason behind this conflict.

00:21:31.000 From the New York Intelligencer, Putin decries US satanism in bizarre speech annexing parts of Ukraine.

00:21:37.000 Did you guys see this?

00:21:38.000 Putin said it was kind of crazy.

00:21:41.000 He said that the West was satanic and he said that they're doing gender experiments on children or something to that effect. 0.78

00:21:49.000 He gave a 37-minute speech in the middle of Moscow, huge crowds, and he said that the West is, quote, sheer Satanism and it's turning away from moral norms and religious values while offering children sex change operations. 0.78

00:22:08.000 Is he wrong?

00:22:09.000 He's not wrong, but he's not an angel himself.

00:22:13.000 He brought up a good point, let's be honest, and I think he's not wrong in some of these instances.

00:22:21.000 But again, that doesn't make him the good guy here.

00:22:24.000 Right, I think, you know, it's like, it reminds me of that, I think something Jack told me about RT, or how he described RT, is like, RT tells the truth about us and lies about Russia, whereas our media lies about us and might tell the truth about Russia.

00:22:37.000 Right, right.

00:22:39.000 It's like you listen to Russia talk about our problems and you're like, yeah, that's actually a fairly accurate description of how our government is behaving.

00:22:46.000 You gotta watch RT if you want to learn about what's going on with protests and activism.

00:22:50.000 This is the funny thing about how they destroyed the lives of all these RT reporters and personalities.

00:22:55.000 Yeah.

00:22:56.000 Back when, um, when was this?

00:22:57.000 It was like a couple years ago?

00:22:58.000 Mm-hmm.

00:22:59.000 I think it was?

00:23:00.000 Not so long ago.

00:23:01.000 2017 or something is when they started hammering RT.

00:23:02.000 2018, maybe?

00:23:03.000 No, it was recently, like Lee Camp, for instance.

00:23:06.000 Yeah.

00:23:06.000 You know, we've known him for a long time and, like, he's not a Russian agent.

00:23:09.000 He's, like, a regular American dude and he's, like, left-leaning.

00:23:13.000 But they banned his podcast, which was unrelated to RT, simply because he worked for RT.

00:23:18.000 Chris Hedges too, another very famous journalist, again on the left, also banned and labeled Russian propaganda.

00:23:26.000 Abby Martin got it hard.

00:23:28.000 Well, didn't Larry King work for RT as well?

00:23:30.000 He did, yep.

00:23:31.000 So here's what they do.

00:23:32.000 So did Jesse Ventura.

00:23:34.000 RT looks for people who have opinions that are bad for the West.

00:23:38.000 They hire them and let them do their thing, basically funding these kinds of narratives.

00:23:42.000 I've recently been coming really disliking this East-West narrative.

00:23:46.000 Like, it's the line of demarcation runs through London.

00:23:49.000 Are you kidding me? 0.99

00:23:49.000 Like, that's not British Empire crap. 0.99

00:23:51.000 And now they want to segment us into one area and say that Russia and China... Dude, the West is China. 0.97

00:23:58.000 China is West of me right now. 0.92

00:23:59.000 That's the West.

00:24:00.000 I'm not going to play this British-centric game anymore.

00:24:05.000 That was basically the idea, right?

00:24:06.000 Yeah, London.

00:24:07.000 Yeah, they wanted to take control of the narrative of who's where on earth and say that they're in the middle.

00:24:11.000 It's crazy.

00:24:11.000 Well, they're the ones who have the zero.

00:24:14.000 The king with his freaking Bank of International Settlements in Switzerland. 0.93

00:24:18.000 Look at that, man. 0.96

00:24:18.000 And English is spoken basically everywhere. 0.96

00:24:21.000 You go to Japan and there's like the street signs and the highways are in English and Japanese.

00:24:25.000 colonists, man.

00:24:25.000 They tried to colonize China just like they did to India.

00:24:27.000 They tried with the opium wars, and they failed, and that's a big part of why there's so much aggression.

00:24:32.000 Putin actually said it is neocolonialism, and he said, this is great, he said the West is racist for spreading Russophobia.

00:24:40.000 I'm like, okay, I don't know what you're trying to say, like, what part of the U.S.

00:24:44.000 is Satanist?

00:24:44.000 Is it the woke stuff?

00:24:45.000 Because that's what you're saying.

00:24:46.000 Like, He plays a similar game, right?

00:24:50.000 Yeah.

00:24:51.000 I don't care which government, some people, someone super chat us the other day saying like, no, no, Putin's fighting evil.

00:24:57.000 And I'm like, no, Putin launched an aggressive war and invaded his neighbor, right?

00:25:02.000 That's bad.

00:25:03.000 And it's wrong.

00:25:03.000 And it's it kickstarted all of this, right?

00:25:06.000 It's not a defensive war.

00:25:07.000 You're right.

00:25:07.000 It is a war of aggression, but it's a war of aggression where your enemy has rockets right on the border of the country next to you.

00:25:13.000 So, like, who's the aggressor?

00:25:15.000 Right.

00:25:15.000 It's just, it's just war.

00:25:16.000 I mean, two wrongs don't make a right either.

00:25:17.000 This isn't, I mean, I don't know, I'm sorry, like, there are situations where in a seemingly aggressive war is actually someone responding to acts of war by the other side.

00:25:25.000 I think the classic example of that is the Six Days War.

00:25:29.000 Where Israel was, you know, Egypt put in place a naval blockade of the Red Sea and prevented Israel from accessing and shipping anything out of its southern port.

00:25:37.000 And so if it wanted to ship anything to Asia, it had to go all the way around Africa, right?

00:25:41.000 And that's clearly, like, act of war violence.

00:25:44.000 And so even though Israel struck first in terms of, like, actually military assets striking other military forces, I think it's pretty clear that that was not an aggressive war in the sense of They were the first wronged party in terms of an act of war against themselves.

00:25:59.000 This conflict goes back and forth for many decades now, and you could point, hey, Russia did this, hey, NATO did this, and you could make legitimate arguments that are very convincing by both sides. 1.00

00:26:09.000 To me, both of them are being idiots. 1.00

00:26:11.000 People shouldn't be dying for governments. 1.00

00:26:13.000 Politicians should be fighting their own wars and shouldn't be sending innocent people to do it.

00:26:18.000 But you made a very, very good point there talking about the Six-Day War being brought on by, of course, the stopping of trade.

00:26:25.000 And trade routes and denying countries resources is what usually sparks wars.

00:26:32.000 So this is why the bursting of this pipeline is so important, because it could be that major galvanizing event that starts all of this.

00:26:41.000 It's also why turning Ukraine against Russia in 2014 with that revolution, whether or not the CIA was involved or not, I hear they were, I don't know, but that is, you could argue that that's kind of an act, they cut off their access to the Black Sea, like that's, at least to Sevastopol.

00:26:54.000 Yeah, no, that was, I mean, that was a huge screw-up.

00:26:57.000 And I think, I mean, the U.S.

00:27:00.000 diplomacy there was appalling.

00:27:01.000 I mean, there's no, we had no business overturning that government.

00:27:05.000 John McCain was there.

00:27:07.000 Okay, it goes back, it goes back before this.

00:27:08.000 Syria, for instance.

00:27:09.000 Russia's got a base in Tartus.

00:27:11.000 The U.S.

00:27:12.000 is basically aligned against Assad, the Assad regime, who is aligned with Russia, and every effort we made hurt Russia's interests in Tartus.

00:27:22.000 So, of course, you can go back in time, as long as you want to go back in time, you will always find something.

00:27:28.000 Absolutely.

00:27:30.000 And you know, 2014, John McCain was there, the CIA was there, Victoria Nuland was there.

00:27:35.000 She was, again, pushing for a lot of the protests there.

00:27:39.000 And she did have an impact. 0.60

00:27:41.000 And this is the result of this that we're seeing here.

00:27:44.000 And I think Putin was baited into a conflict.

00:27:48.000 And as soon as he sent troops there, This has escalated to a very severe level.

00:27:53.000 Who do you point to for responsibility?

00:27:55.000 I think all of them are responsible. 1.00

00:27:56.000 I think all of them are being stupid. 1.00

00:27:58.000 And I think all of them need to stop immediately before they jeopardize the human civilization. 1.00

00:28:04.000 Yeah, the liberal economic order does not need to patrol Russia anymore.

00:28:08.000 They all know that the new world order is coming.

00:28:10.000 George Bush Sr.

00:28:11.000 was talking about it in the late 80s.

00:28:12.000 Like, they're ready for it.

00:28:13.000 Now we need to transition to a new world order where we're not at war with Russia.

00:28:17.000 There could be our most potential greatest ally.

00:28:19.000 It's really weird.

00:28:21.000 Yeah, no one wins wit wars.

00:28:22.000 Politicians, bankers, and multinational corporations win wit wars, but no one else wins.

00:28:28.000 It's ideology.

00:28:29.000 And it's a question of, I would say, perhaps it's a bit reductive, but not having access to classified documents.

00:28:36.000 Vladimir Putin does not want to be subservient to NATO, the UN, to the World Economic Forum.

00:28:42.000 It doesn't mean he's a good guy.

00:28:43.000 It means he's standing there being like, I ain't doing it.

00:28:45.000 And they're like, there's more of us than you and we're stronger.

00:28:47.000 And he's like, don't care.

00:28:48.000 Try me.

00:28:49.000 So there's no, he's going to be our greatest ally.

00:28:53.000 If, if, uh, you know, a communist authoritarian came up to you in and said, work with me to throw people in a gulag, would you do it?

00:28:59.000 Uh, not, no, I would say no.

00:29:01.000 So I'm not saying that's what is literally happening between the two powers.

00:29:04.000 I'm saying there is a line where you would be like, I will never work with you.

00:29:06.000 We will not be allies because the ideologies are just too disparate.

00:29:10.000 Yeah, it would be, I don't want to adhere to the World Economic Forum's laws and sanctions and give corporations the ability to sue American taxpayers if we don't buy their products.

00:29:19.000 Like, that's what the trade, the TPP, Trans-Pacific Partnership, wanted with their investor state dispute settlement clause that got Trump, thank God, overturned.

00:29:26.000 I don't want that stuff either. 0.98

00:29:27.000 I don't think Putin wants that crap. 0.98

00:29:29.000 I think so. 0.99

00:29:30.000 So we need to build something better.

00:29:31.000 But we're not going to do it if we're at war.

00:29:33.000 But see, Russia is doing something similar when they're trying to build up the Russian Trade Federation.

00:29:39.000 I guess maybe it's a bit hyperbolic to say, but Putin just said today that the fall of the Soviet Union was terrible and the leaders left all the people to just fend for themselves.

00:29:52.000 He has consistently expressed dismay at the fall of the Soviet Union.

00:29:56.000 And it looks like all of his actions that he's been doing in terms of building up this federation.

00:30:00.000 He wanted Ukraine to join the Russian Trade Federation.

00:30:01.000 He wants to build what the West is also doing.

00:30:05.000 So it's just like, pick your poison.

00:30:07.000 I happen to think this.

00:30:08.000 Ladies and gentlemen, you want the U.S. 0.94

00:30:10.000 to win.

00:30:10.000 More importantly, we need to win politically so we can stop the war.

00:30:14.000 But if a war is going to happen, you want the U.S.

00:30:16.000 to win for one simple reason.

00:30:17.000 You live in it.

00:30:18.000 And as much as you might really hate Joe Biden, despise his politics, because I certainly don't like the guy, at least you can recognize you share one thing in common.

00:30:26.000 You share a place, like you share the United States.

00:30:30.000 And so that means as much as Biden might be selling us out and being corrupt, he doesn't want to lose his property value.

00:30:36.000 So even if that means on a scale of one to a hundred, with a hundred being like shared values and one being like barely any, you have one.

00:30:43.000 With Putin, you don't have any.

00:30:44.000 Putin, some people are posting things like, oh, but he opposes Satanism and the... No, we're not.

00:30:50.000 You don't want Putin to win.

00:30:52.000 No, Putin is a different kind of the same bad.

00:30:54.000 Right. 0.86

00:30:55.000 Of a similar bad.

00:30:56.000 He's another politician.

00:30:57.000 So it's a rock and a hard place.

00:30:58.000 Yeah, he's another politician.

00:30:59.000 Who's been in power for how long?

00:31:00.000 22 years?

00:31:02.000 Many decades.

00:31:02.000 Who's looking out for himself and looking out for his country and his interests.

00:31:06.000 And a counter argument I would make is that no one's going to win this war.

00:31:10.000 If there's a war, no one's winning this one.

00:31:12.000 I'm going to win.

00:31:12.000 You know why?

00:31:13.000 Because I got chickens. 0.97

00:31:15.000 I think I read somewhere for something pretty insightful, which was that, you know, we tend to be very annoyed with like the Biden and the Democrats hypocrisy when it comes to this stuff.

00:31:23.000 And it's very frustrating.

00:31:24.000 And one thing about Putin is he's not really a hypocrite.

00:31:27.000 He's just sort of will to power, you know, straightforward, like, yes, actually, I just want to conquer your country. 0.64

00:31:33.000 And I'm going to do that now.

00:31:34.000 Rather than sort of like, you know, mixing messages.

00:31:38.000 Machinations.

00:31:39.000 Machinations. 0.99

00:31:40.000 And so, like, there's a tendency for us being super frustrated with how ridiculous the Democrats' rationalizations can be. 0.80

00:31:46.000 That we're just like, oh, breath of fresh air. 0.67

00:31:48.000 Somebody who just says what he wants.

00:31:50.000 But you have to realize, like, no, no, no, that's actually, you know, That's still, that's very, very evil and wrong, right?

00:31:56.000 Like, to have this will-to-power style of Putin and just conquer, trying to conquer your neighbors.

00:32:00.000 Well, that's what almost every politician is, essentially, if you kind of go down to the bare minimum of it.

00:32:05.000 And Putin did, you know, does release a lot of, you know, disinformation, a lot of propaganda.

00:32:11.000 He does like to confuse people.

00:32:13.000 He does, you know, use a lot of different tactics that the West doesn't usually deploy.

00:32:19.000 And I remember seeing, I forgot which documentary this was, but it was describing his strategy of financing his opponents, of creating confusion, of creating a situation where you weren't able to fully understand the larger political ramifications of it, but while everyone is confused and debating, he gets all the power himself.

00:32:38.000 I forgot the documentary that perfectly described this kind of larger psychological trick that politicians play on the people.

00:32:45.000 I'm going to try to remember as much as I can.

00:32:49.000 That's one.

00:32:51.000 Yeah, I mean, that's what politicians always do. 0.97

00:32:53.000 How do you know a politician's lying?

00:32:55.000 His mouth is moving.

00:32:56.000 His mouth is moving.

00:32:57.000 Wait, wait.

00:32:57.000 Exactly.

00:32:58.000 Their mouth is moving.

00:32:59.000 That's right.

00:33:00.000 Politicians can't be lazy.

00:33:01.000 It.

00:33:02.000 I don't like that.

00:33:02.000 His mouth is moving.

00:33:03.000 Yeah, politicians aren't people.

00:33:05.000 I don't like that Vladimir's been in power for 22 years.

00:33:08.000 That really upsets me, because I think the point of the Russian Federation was they were creating some sort of democratic republic.

00:33:12.000 I don't know if they consider themselves a republic, if it's just a federation at this point, whatever that means.

00:33:16.000 But he stepped out, and he was gone for a little while, and they said his lackey was running the show while he was behind the scenes.

00:33:22.000 But then it's like he came back, and at that time I was like, well, I think what he's doing is he's afraid that the liberal economic order, the military war machine, is going to take over the world, and he wants to make sure that it doesn't happen on his watch.

00:33:33.000 And until he's comfortable that the United States is the good guys again, he's going to be there protecting Russia. 0.83

00:33:38.000 But I don't that doesn't justify a great wars of aggression.

00:33:42.000 I don't justify that stuff.

00:33:43.000 Yeah, but it and maybe it's still that is his methodology.

00:33:46.000 Like if I let someone come into power, they're going to be weaker than me.

00:33:48.000 They're going to capitulate and I can't let that happen.

00:33:50.000 Hyper normalization is the term that I was looking for that describes what I was just saying.

00:33:55.000 It was a part of a BBC documentary from 2016 and there's a small clip of it that is absolutely fascinating and explains what Putin kind of mastered but I think is also being practiced here in the West as well that I think a lot of people should understand this larger trickery, these larger psychological tricks played on by politicians against the people.

00:34:14.000 Hyper normalization is the word of the day that you should Look up.

00:34:18.000 Filmed by Adam Curtis.

00:34:20.000 I was going to say look on the search engine.

00:34:22.000 Look on the brave search engine.

00:34:25.000 Since the 1970s, given up on complex real world and built a smaller fake world run by corporations and kept stable by politicians.

00:34:31.000 That's the impetus of the 2016 BBC documentary, Hyper Normalization.

00:34:35.000 And that runs parallel with like the insurance agencies that are attempting to take over the world medically and control, you know, doctors.

00:34:43.000 Seven minutes that they get to spend with their patients instead of the old doctor patient relationship.

00:34:48.000 Pharmaceutical companies and insurance agencies trying to run things.

00:34:51.000 I just love how we have commercials where it's like, is Florbestron right for you?

00:34:55.000 Call your doctor.

00:34:56.000 May cause death.

00:34:56.000 And I'm like, no.

00:34:58.000 Like, why would I call my doctor and be like, I saw a random ad for a drug, I have no idea what it does, but should we take it?

00:35:02.000 They looked happy on the commercial.

00:35:03.000 Yeah.

00:35:04.000 It was like, I don't know.

00:35:05.000 Yeah.

00:35:06.000 And then they're friends with the insurance salesman rep, and then they like the rep, they sell the rep's drug.

00:35:12.000 I think it was Lunesta.

00:35:14.000 I think it was, remember Lunesta?

00:35:17.000 And I didn't know what it was.

00:35:18.000 I'm like, there's a butterfly.

00:35:19.000 It's like floating around.

00:35:20.000 What's happening?

00:35:21.000 And I guess maybe I was too young or whatever.

00:35:23.000 I think Rogaine was the first one.

00:35:24.000 Rogaine, they had Rogaine commercials in like the 90s and they never said what it was in the commercials.

00:35:28.000 I was like, what?

00:35:29.000 It's the only commercial I ever saw where they never said what it was.

00:35:32.000 And they just show people smiling.

00:35:33.000 And I was like, what is this?

00:35:34.000 It's like Prozac.

00:35:35.000 It's like, I'm assuming whatever it is just makes you happy.

00:35:38.000 Yeah.

00:35:39.000 Imagine if they, well, it is kind of funny that there's a lot of drugs that are basically prescription drugs, derivatives of methamphetamine salts or just outright opiates.

00:35:47.000 And so they're basically like, we're going to make opium and heroin illegal.

00:35:51.000 But if you get a prescription of a different form of it, we're going to put a commercial on.

00:35:54.000 And I don't think they actually do commercials for that stuff, though.

00:35:56.000 But they certainly they crank it out through the pharmaceutical industry.

00:36:00.000 I don't know if we need American constitutionalism for the future.

00:36:03.000 We could have a global organization where we don't use the American Constitution and it's much different.

00:36:08.000 It terrifies me to think that a corporation would implement its function onto top-down governance and you'd have like, you know, World Economic Forum and Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson and, you know, Boeing running everyone's lives.

00:36:24.000 That's like, I don't like that.

00:36:25.000 That's why I like this decentralized kind of autonomy that we've got in the United States.

00:36:29.000 I want to jump to this story we got in the Daily Mail.

00:36:32.000 Poland starts handing out anti-radiation tablets as battle rages around Ukraine nuclear power plant.

00:36:37.000 I don't think it's the nuclear power plant, but they do mention Putin's fresh nuke threat.

00:36:41.000 So I believe this is potassium iodide.

00:36:44.000 Yep, potassium iodide tablets.

00:36:45.000 Okay.

00:36:47.000 First, as a PSA to everybody to explain what this is, it's basically iodine.

00:36:51.000 What happens?

00:36:52.000 You eat it.

00:36:52.000 It goes into your thyroid.

00:36:54.000 When your body absorbs as much as it can, it will reject the rest.

00:36:58.000 If radioactive iodine is in the air, on the ground, or all over the place and you're eating, your body will absorb it and put radioactive iodine in your thyroid, which then causes problems.

00:37:06.000 This does not protect you from anything else.

00:37:09.000 People seem to think that, like, if there's a nuclear bomb that goes off, you take one of these and it protects you from the radiation.

00:37:13.000 Like, it protects your thyroid from iodine.

00:37:16.000 But there's, I mean, I don't know exactly what kind of radioactive materials are going to be littered all over the place.

00:37:23.000 But I do want to talk to everybody about the threat of nuclear war and what it really means.

00:37:28.000 And I'll bring up a good story.

00:37:30.000 Luke and I, we went to Fukushima.

00:37:33.000 And they told us... We didn't take potassium iodide when we went, did we?

00:37:37.000 I don't think so, no.

00:37:38.000 But they gave us suits.

00:37:39.000 And the suits were just cloth suits.

00:37:42.000 And I was kind of like, don't you have to have like some kind of special material?

00:37:46.000 And they're like, no, no, no, no.

00:37:47.000 What the suits do is when the dust and the particles land on you, when you leave, you take it all off.

00:37:52.000 So it's not on you.

00:37:53.000 And then you take a shower to wash it all off.

00:37:55.000 And I was like, oh, okay.

00:37:57.000 I thought it was like for like radiation and they were like alpha and beta particles.

00:38:00.000 They stick to you.

00:38:01.000 You then eat stuff.

00:38:03.000 It gets into your system.

00:38:04.000 But with Fukushima, there was MOX plutonium and there was iodine-131 or something like that.

00:38:10.000 The MOX plutonium was a heavy metal lit on the ground.

00:38:12.000 It sinks.

00:38:13.000 It drops.

00:38:14.000 The iodine kicks up.

00:38:16.000 So you take one of these pills, but then you pick something up off the ground and you can get some, you know, MOX plutonium or whatever it's called on you.

00:38:22.000 That ain't doing anything for you.

00:38:23.000 So, in the event of nuclear war, the other thing to consider, not every nuclear bomb has a radioactive yield.

00:38:29.000 That's, my understanding is that's intentional.

00:38:32.000 When a bomb goes off and it leaves radiation, like, they design it to do that.

00:38:35.000 And there are many nuclear bombs that actually don't, they just do fireballs, so.

00:38:38.000 Yeah, our understanding of nuclear weapons is still primitive compared to the advancements that were made within, what was it, like 90 years?

00:38:47.000 80 years?

00:38:48.000 Since the last... 80!

00:38:49.000 Yeah, 80 years.

00:38:50.000 So what we know of the nuclear weapon 80 years ago is absolutely nothing compared to what's out there right now and the technology and the possibilities that they have.

00:38:59.000 Putin And the Russian government a lot of times talk about flooding all of the United Kingdom with a radiation wave and using nuclear weapons underwater as a way to start a tsunami that is going to cover all of the United Kingdom.

00:39:14.000 This is what they talk about.

00:39:15.000 They even made graphics.

00:39:16.000 They even made a cartoon about this on Russian state television, which is just absolutely perplexing and insane.

00:39:23.000 Why would Russia not have rods from God?

00:39:23.000 I got a question.

00:39:28.000 Um, why would they not have it?

00:39:29.000 Why would the US not have that for those unfamiliar?

00:39:31.000 It's a theoretical weapon where you put a ton, a series of tungsten rods in a satellite and it drops them in the force of gravity.

00:39:40.000 It's like what, like a hundred times more powerful than a nuke of the same size or something.

00:39:43.000 Yeah. 0.65

00:39:44.000 Some ridiculous massive explosive yield.

00:39:47.000 Um, they might.

00:39:48.000 Who knows?

00:39:48.000 I don't know.

00:39:49.000 Like, I'm not familiar enough with where that technology is.

00:39:52.000 Well, here's my point.

00:39:53.000 It's not so much about where the technology is.

00:39:55.000 It's that no one even knew they were building nukes in the first place.

00:39:58.000 Yeah.

00:39:58.000 There was speculation about this big project that was going on.

00:40:01.000 Some thought that it could be a nuclear weapon.

00:40:03.000 Some thought it was going to be a death ray.

00:40:05.000 Some thought it was teleportation or time travel.

00:40:07.000 People believed crazy things.

00:40:09.000 And then, lo and behold, it turned out to be this massive explosive device.

00:40:12.000 At the Manhattan Project that was spearheaded and started at the Bohemian Grove of all places, where a hundred thousand people were working on it, and only about two dozen knew exactly what they were working on.

00:40:24.000 Right, I mean, that said, I don't know, I read, have you read The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes?

00:40:29.000 No, I have not.

00:40:30.000 Very, very great book, by the way.

00:40:31.000 When I was looking into the Bohemian Grove, and then they were just bragging, oh, the nuclear bomb was pretty much created here, and I'm like, Kind of.

00:40:39.000 My understanding, based on that book, was that there were a series of experiments done and publicized in 1939-1940 in Germany, of all places, where basically they split the uranium atom.

00:40:55.000 Yeah, so, actually, I pulled the Wikipedia, Discovery of Nuclear Fission by German Chemists.

00:40:59.000 Look at that, 1938.

00:41:00.000 How right am I?

00:41:00.000 Am I right?

00:41:01.000 Am I right?

00:41:02.000 And then Germany could have developed a nuclear weapon, but they kicked out their scientists because they had a religion that they didn't like.

00:41:10.000 And all the scientists went to the United States and they started building it here in the United States.

00:41:14.000 Literally, the Nazis' anti-Semitism is actually a pretty good argument that maybe it's not exactly why they lost World War II, but it made their loss inevitable.

00:41:22.000 I mean, if Hitler had the nuclear bomb before anybody else, it would be game over. 0.95

00:41:27.000 It would be game over.

00:41:30.000 They had rockets.

00:41:31.000 They were working on saucers as well.

00:41:35.000 Like the development of German technology in the early parts of that world war were absolutely just beyond belief.

00:41:45.000 You want to continue with what you're saying?

00:41:47.000 So basically, but like once this experiment happened and there were Scientists around the world, having seen this experiment, understood the implication was a nuclear bomb is possible.

00:41:57.000 And so that's, you know, so Germany started working on it.

00:42:00.000 We started working on it.

00:42:01.000 I think England, you know, other countries started working on it too.

00:42:04.000 So it wasn't when you, like, I guess it wasn't a secret at that point.

00:42:07.000 It was sort of, if you were in the scientific community, it was like all the scientists started talking to the politicians of like, We know this is possible.

00:42:14.000 You should really invest in this because you don't want the other guy to get this first.

00:42:17.000 Because it's just how much energy was necessarily created from splitting the uranium atom was enough to make people realize that it could create a chain reaction and a bomb.

00:42:26.000 And I would even argue, you know, Germany lost World War II, but I would say the Nazis didn't. 0.93

00:42:32.000 How so?

00:42:32.000 I mean, you mean because Werner Von Braun came to us or something?

00:42:34.000 One, a lot of them went to Argentina.

00:42:37.000 Two, the Russians and the Americans scooped them up right after the war and then had them work on NASA, had them work on the Russian space agency.

00:42:44.000 What was that?

00:42:45.000 Was that Paperclip?

00:42:46.000 Yeah, that was one of the programs.

00:42:47.000 Yeah, Operation Paperclip.

00:42:48.000 And the death of Hitler is still being contested by many historians.

00:42:53.000 There was no body as well.

00:42:54.000 So he could have been in Argentina this whole time.

00:42:57.000 Argentina gave them safe haven.

00:42:59.000 Well, look, they did lose.

00:43:01.000 That's not winning.

00:43:02.000 Their influence escaped.

00:43:04.000 I'm making a very nuanced kind of argument here.

00:43:06.000 I'm saying that the ideology was passed on through a lot of the top figures being saved through Operation Paperclip.

00:43:14.000 I don't know.

00:43:15.000 I mean, I wouldn't call Werner Von Braun like a top Nazi.

00:43:18.000 I mean, he was a member of the Nazi party, but he was a rocket scientist, right?

00:43:21.000 He was a rocket scientist in Germany.

00:43:26.000 Um, not saying he wasn't a bad guy or a good guy.

00:43:27.000 I'm just saying, like, he wasn't Goebbels, you know, some ideologist who's spreading it.

00:43:31.000 And then you look at people like Eichmann, you know, is the classic guy who went to Argentina.

00:43:36.000 I mean, he had to be incognito for 20 years before the Israelis finally found him, kidnapped him, and tried him in Israel.

00:43:42.000 Not to mention, there's a bunch of really crazy stories, um, like the, uh, what is it?

00:43:47.000 Was it the Isdal Woman, I think it was called?

00:43:49.000 I went to, uh, this is an amazing story.

00:43:51.000 I went to Bergen, Norway a while back, and there's this legend they have where they found a woman dead up in the mountain, just outside of town, from smoke inhalation, they said.

00:44:01.000 And it's been a long time since I've gone through the story.

00:44:03.000 We interviewed a bunch of people in Bergen, and there were like passports, outfits, and so one of the leading theories was that she was Mossad, hunting down escaped Nazis in various countries, and they were being summarily executed, so not escaping.

00:44:20.000 But in this instance, this woman was killed by the person she was sent to assassinate, and so they found her body, didn't know she was, saw a bunch of aliases and passports, never figured it out.

00:44:29.000 But people are like, they believe that Mossad went on for decades, probably even still now, are hunting these people down.

00:44:37.000 There was a story out there long ago of like a guy was like 90-something years old, was it like 98?

00:44:40.000 Yeah, I heard of that.

00:44:41.000 And he was like a Nazi guard and they found him.

00:44:42.000 They arrested him, didn't they?

00:44:44.000 Yeah, and they deported him.

00:44:46.000 There was a Netflix movie about that, I think.

00:44:47.000 It was like some But here's what people don't know.

00:44:50.000 Here's what people don't understand is that many of these people who did escape probably died within a year from assassinations, and it's not in the news.

00:44:57.000 It's not gonna be in history books.

00:44:59.000 A lot of prominent people are connected to, you know, that history, whether it's Soros, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Canadian...

00:45:07.000 The minister lady, I forgot her name right now, but she also has ties to a lot of that darker kind of history.

00:45:13.000 But, you know, this is something that, you know, my people have kind of lived through being from Poland.

00:45:17.000 We hear about this all the time.

00:45:19.000 You know, this is something that my family, you know, lost a lot of its members to.

00:45:25.000 And it's still something that, you know, I think in hindsight should be talked about more, especially with the severe escalations we're seeing in Europe right now that many people believe is going to prompt another world war, which is just absolutely insane.

00:45:40.000 Yeah, Nazism wasn't stopped. 0.91

00:45:42.000 The German Third Reich was stopped, but Nazism wasn't. 0.76

00:45:44.000 It was in Eastern Ukraine.

00:45:46.000 It still is.

00:45:46.000 They call them the Azov now, the Azov Battalion.

00:45:49.000 It's like a neo-Nazi group.

00:45:50.000 Wasn't there a picture of a guy standing with Zelensky that had, like, the Black Sun logo or something?

00:45:55.000 Yep.

00:45:55.000 It is genuinely true that the Zelensky government is way too friendly with straight-up, like, anti-Semites.

00:46:03.000 I mean, that was, they were roundly, I mean, they named one of their major streets after a guy named Stepan Bandera.

00:46:03.000 Yeah.

00:46:10.000 Yeah.

00:46:11.000 Who was involved in pogroms against the Jewish community in advance of the Germans coming in.

00:46:19.000 Um, you know, and, and they're all these guys they're hailing is like Ukrainian heroes and Ukrainian nationalists.

00:46:25.000 Well, those are the guys who like fought the Russians and sided with the Nazis.

00:46:30.000 And usually we're doing the Nazis bidding before the Nazi showed up. 0.80

00:46:33.000 Well, Ukraine is also in a tough position because that's some of the best fighters that they have.

00:46:38.000 And the Ukrainian government is like, okay, let's stop talking about this because we need to fight a war and this is how they're kind of excusing it.

00:46:47.000 But there's a whole, I think, a battalion inside of the official Ukrainian military that was officially recognized that did have extreme far-right kind of ideas.

00:46:58.000 And there's no denying that.

00:47:00.000 It's something that, of course, the Russians kind of bring up all the time.

00:47:04.000 But this is, you know, a battalion and a lot of the stuff gets contested here.

00:47:08.000 But you're not wrong, Ian.

00:47:10.000 It's the Azov regiment formed from volunteers integrated into the National Guard of Ukraine.

00:47:16.000 At least, this is what I've been told.

00:47:17.000 The Azov are the neo-Nazis. 1.00

00:47:20.000 That's the symbol.

00:47:21.000 It's basically a swastika at an angle.

00:47:24.000 Not a complete swastika, but it's got, you know... I don't know if you put... Yeah, there it is.

00:47:27.000 That blue symbol on the right.

00:47:30.000 I don't know.

00:47:31.000 This is propaganda.

00:47:31.000 This is what I hear.

00:47:32.000 But I can't imagine being in the United States and hearing propaganda that are supposed to be allies of the Nazis.

00:47:36.000 It's not merely propaganda.

00:47:38.000 There's real truth to that.

00:47:40.000 I mean, you can look into...

00:47:42.000 You know, Jewish associations lighting up the Ukrainian government for their actions in support of Azov and a lot of their public resurrection of these World War II figures who were anti-Semitic.

00:47:54.000 Another problem with war is pushing countries to war is that the worst, I'm not saying that the Azov are the worst, but violent extremists will rise up to fight because those might be your best fighters because they're violent extremists.

00:48:05.000 That's what they do is they know how to fight.

00:48:07.000 This weird, like, problem for Ukrainian nationalism in general, right?

00:48:10.000 Because Ukraine doesn't have this long and deep history as an independent nation, so they're, they're kind of have to reach for these figures of nationalist pride in Ukraine who have these very, very checkered pasts.

00:48:21.000 I'd love to see Ukraine become a neutral territory in some way.

00:48:24.000 Like, like Switzerland.

00:48:25.000 Like, it's in a, it's in a position where it should be.

00:48:27.000 It's like a, it's like the cerebral cortex of Eurasia.

00:48:29.000 It should have been a buffer state.

00:48:30.000 It should have been a buffer state.

00:48:31.000 That would have been much better for everybody, right?

00:48:34.000 Much better for It's flat.

00:48:36.000 So it's not Ukraine.

00:48:37.000 It's like a Hong Kong or like a Singapore.

00:48:40.000 But Ukraine also has a lot of natural gas and a lot of energy exploration is being found in that country, which threatens the Russian petrostate.

00:48:49.000 And this is, I think, another reason why Russia is being so aggressive, especially in the southern parts, where a lot of this new energy has been found and will contest Russia as a petrostate and contend with it directly, which, of course, Russia can't have because that's one of its major Assets, it's energy that it provides the world.

00:49:08.000 Oil, gas, oil, energy.

00:49:11.000 So yeah, complex situation.

00:49:13.000 Very confusing.

00:49:14.000 Lots of different sides.

00:49:15.000 Lots of different atrocities.

00:49:16.000 No one wins in war.

00:49:18.000 And please, my goodness, let's try to call for some de-escalations here and stop with this madness and people dying for the whims of politicians and their aspirations. 0.76

00:49:28.000 Well, we got a midterm coming up, and investors.com, Dow Jones drops on hot inflation data.

00:49:35.000 So we're down what?

00:49:37.000 We're down again several percentage points?

00:49:39.000 What's going on?

00:49:40.000 The market's imploding.

00:49:41.000 We're seeing real estate prices drop.

00:49:43.000 We're seeing inflation across the board.

00:49:45.000 I think food prices are up in Germany, what, like 19% or something?

00:49:50.000 Yeah, I don't know something like that double digits.

00:49:52.000 Oh, it's gonna be bad So well so aside from the potassium iodide what kind of emergency food?

00:50:01.000 I Cook with a lot of lentils.

00:50:02.000 I'm it's like Ian's cooking lentils every day red lentils, baby.

00:50:05.000 Oh This is why it's actually nice to be in America.

00:50:08.000 We have a lot of food in this country.

00:50:10.000 We don't need to import it.

00:50:11.000 We're not in the position of a lot of countries that do.

00:50:16.000 We really are blessed by our geographic advantages in so many different ways.

00:50:20.000 Oh yeah.

00:50:21.000 Oceans on two sides of us.

00:50:22.000 Substantially smaller countries on the north and south.

00:50:25.000 Good neighbors.

00:50:26.000 Good neighbors.

00:50:28.000 Incredible waterways.

00:50:29.000 I think somebody did a map once where they described the navigable waterways of the United Huge mountains that, of course, are very difficult to traverse.

00:50:36.000 Sure.

00:50:37.000 But, you know, yeah, I mean, so... And you can build stuff in them, like underground bases.

00:50:37.000 It's amazing.

00:50:42.000 That can withstand nuclear... I'm just saying, there's so much natural farmland in the United States, it just dwarfs almost anywhere else in the world, in terms of just the amount of farmland and the ability for a country to produce its own food.

00:50:42.000 That's right.

00:50:53.000 Yeah, and we don't we don't have to buy cat food actually because Bocas just caught a squirrel the other day Again, no, I just thought I'm talking about the one that he got and he he went into one of the ramps We couldn't get him out and I guess he just ate it So, you know, well, there's that that's cheap when you live out here in the middle of nowhere, man You can you can grow your own food.

00:51:11.000 It's pawpaw season guys.

00:51:12.000 You know, we we had a pawpaw bread today.

00:51:14.000 It was amazing Oh pawpaws hillbilly banana So, uh, there's food aplenty.

00:51:19.000 But if you live in a big city like New York or even outside of one like, I don't know, Arlington, for instance, you're probably in trouble.

00:51:25.000 Especially with the potential attacks on infrastructure.

00:51:29.000 So, if energy goes out, if the internet goes out, which, again, a lot of it is dependent on underground sea cables, which I think we should be keeping a close eye on, because I do believe there's going to be some significant attacks on those.

00:51:43.000 That's a logical way for Russia to retaliate against us.

00:51:46.000 That's very logical.

00:51:46.000 Absolutely.

00:51:48.000 You're gonna be watching your House of Dragons, and it's gonna cut off, and then it's gonna be like, we can't load because Russia cut a cable.

00:51:56.000 What do you do?

00:51:57.000 Or you can't communicate with somebody?

00:52:01.000 Or you can't have energy? 0.95

00:52:02.000 I mean, if you can't have energy or communications in a place like New York City, I mean, you're screwed.

00:52:07.000 People don't understand how spoiled we've gotten.

00:52:11.000 I want you to imagine this scenario.

00:52:12.000 You're sitting at your house, when all of a sudden the power goes out.

00:52:16.000 Cell lines are down.

00:52:17.000 Your phone doesn't work, you can't text anybody, you have no internet, it's just you and your family.

00:52:21.000 You live, let's say you live in a small suburban community.

00:52:24.000 All of a sudden, you know, it's a couple hours, you're talking to your neighbors like, what's going on?

00:52:28.000 We don't know.

00:52:29.000 Military vehicles pull up.

00:52:31.000 They tell you- You're lucky.

00:52:32.000 They tell you, get everybody, line up, line up!

00:52:34.000 What do you do?

00:52:35.000 You have no idea who they are, you have no idea what's going on.

00:52:37.000 Do you just say yes?

00:52:38.000 What if it's the enemy?

00:52:40.000 What if something serious- What if they took out a substation?

00:52:42.000 What do you do?

00:52:42.000 What if they've invaded?

00:52:43.000 Well, I would say if the military shows up in a situation like that, comply.

00:52:46.000 Because it's probably the good guys, if they'd show up right away.

00:52:50.000 What? 0.96

00:52:51.000 Are you crazy? 0.99

00:52:54.000 Look at them. 0.93

00:52:55.000 If they have American insignias on them, don't fight them. 0.92

00:52:57.000 They're probably there to help.

00:52:58.000 There's probably a National Guard coming out if something really bad happens, but, you know.

00:53:01.000 Obviously don't just learn you have learned nothing Don't you know don't think don't go full paranoia insane

00:53:10.000 mode right away if something bad happens You know keep your wits about you and remember that we're

00:53:14.000 on American soil. We're all here together When your power and communications go down and a military

00:53:19.000 vehicle pulls up no don't comply demand confirmation Yeah, but I mean don't be so

00:53:26.000 Don't open fire, basically, is what I'm saying.

00:53:27.000 Like, just be, leave and let be.

00:53:32.000 You know, you don't have to comply, you don't have to go along with whatever military men show up at your door and want you to do.

00:53:37.000 Is it an assessment of, like, what the odds are whether they're friendly or enemy military?

00:53:41.000 I mean, obviously, the odds are it's a friendly military.

00:53:41.000 Yeah.

00:53:43.000 But it's not like a coup d'etat.

00:53:45.000 Or if there's, like, a coup d'etat, you know.

00:53:47.000 Well, but that'll be in D.C., right?

00:53:47.000 Exactly.

00:53:48.000 Yeah, but that will have effects.

00:53:49.000 But it's not even about that.

00:53:50.000 It's about they've rounded Americans up before and put them in camps. 0.62

00:53:54.000 In World War II, this happened.

00:53:54.000 Right.

00:53:56.000 But even, even, I mean... Don't just say, sure, I'll get on the bus.

00:54:00.000 Well, but like, should, should the Japanese have violently resisted the efforts of... Would that have been smart for the Japanese? 0.99

00:54:06.000 They could have peacefully and passively resisted, at the very least.

00:54:09.000 I don't know, I just, I think it, you know, it's one of those, like, horrible things, but the outcomes for the Japanese people who resisted would not have been better than those that complied. 0.88

00:54:17.000 Like, it's an appalling human rights abuse by our government.

00:54:20.000 But that doesn't mean that, like, the correct and practical course of action for the victims of that oppression was to violently resist.

00:54:26.000 I'm not sure, at the same time, the appropriate response is to willfully enter a concentration camp.

00:54:31.000 No, no, don't just jump into the fire when you see it burning, but, you know, use discretion and don't just assume it's the enemy if something bad happens.

00:54:38.000 You don't have to resist, you don't have to comply either, but, you know, you could force the issue and make it more of a debate, more of a conversation.

00:54:45.000 Yeah, sure, you could definitely make it We're talking about overt violations of the Constitution.

00:54:53.000 Criminal actions being made against the American citizens because they were scared that some of them, because of the way they looked, may have been spies.

00:55:02.000 In hindsight, if you were Japanese during World War II, what would you do?

00:55:07.000 I don't know.

00:55:08.000 That's like it.

00:55:09.000 I'd try to, I think that I would try and avoid detection by the, right, I would try and avoid it.

00:55:15.000 I wouldn't, I don't think I'd like start shooting at government agents to avoid being taken to a, to one of the camps, but I think I would try and like, you know, I'd try and avoid them, hide.

00:55:25.000 You want to, of course, try to go through everything before resorting to violence.

00:55:30.000 You want to try all options, peaceful disobedience, protesting, but like, It's a difficult situation.

00:55:37.000 What should the Jews in Germany have done?

00:55:40.000 Different, I mean, different given that the, I mean, and I think the Warsaw Uprising demonstrates this, right?

00:55:46.000 Like the way that it was, there is a category difference between how we treated the Japanese people and how the Nazis treated Jews, right?

00:55:53.000 Yeah.

00:55:54.000 You know, the camps versus genocide is a big, big gulf.

00:55:57.000 But a lot of the Jewish people, and it wasn't just Jewish people, it was Polish people, it was gay people, a lot of these people. 0.93

00:56:04.000 Handicapped people, as well, gypsies.

00:56:05.000 A lot of them, they weren't beaten and dragged into these train carts.

00:56:08.000 Many of them were just, they pulled up and said, alright, you know, we're getting in, we're bringing you to a camp.

00:56:11.000 Well, a lot of them were also work camps.

00:56:13.000 Like, my family got sent to a work camp.

00:56:16.000 And then they had death camps as well.

00:56:18.000 So, my great-grandmother was in a work camp with my grandmother.

00:56:22.000 My grandmother tells me the stories and the craziness of that situation.

00:56:26.000 And, you know, she was extremely lucky, and randomly, a family just decided to pick her up after her mother, my great-grandmother, was sent off to death camp, and she died there.

00:56:39.000 And a family adopted my grandmother, and that's the only reason she survived.

00:56:44.000 That's the only reason I'm here today.

00:56:46.000 They went to a work camp and picked her up?

00:56:47.000 In Poland, when the German government took over during World War II, if you had a number of kids, you didn't have to pay taxes.

00:56:55.000 And the state liked that you had a number of kids because you were procreating, so there was a family that didn't have enough kids to not pay taxes, didn't have enough kids to get the government benefits, so they adopted one off of one of the trains that was heading off to the Stutthof camp.

00:57:11.000 And that's where, you know, my great-grandmother passed away.

00:57:13.000 So in hindsight, you know, I mean, it's something people should consider.

00:57:16.000 Luke was born in a Soviet satellite.

00:57:19.000 Yeah.

00:57:20.000 My family took part in the Solidarnosc protest.

00:57:23.000 That, of course, was a big part of taking down communism.

00:57:26.000 A big part of taking down the Soviet Union. 0.65

00:57:29.000 Now people know where he gets it from.

00:57:31.000 Well, yeah, absolutely!

00:57:32.000 You know, you're raised in this stuff, and you have your family tell you, hey, this happened to your uncle, this is the torture that he went through, hey, this is the secret jail, the secret, you know, this is the craziness that we faced this here, then, and then, and then, and you keep hearing these stories, and it's just absolutely It builds who you are because it teaches you the important lessons of history that sadly a lot of people have forgotten and this is why I'm so passionate about these issues.

00:58:03.000 This is why I've been at this for so long because the writing is on the wall and I think it's only a matter of time until we repeat history and I think in many instances we already have.

00:58:12.000 You mentioned communications being part of the danger of loss of electricity and all that in New York or wherever, but like, so would it be wise for people then to get CB radios with like a solar charger or something?

00:58:25.000 Probably get that for a hundred bucks.

00:58:26.000 A regular AM FM radio.

00:58:27.000 Yeah, 28 bucks.

00:58:28.000 Hand crank.

00:58:29.000 You ever see those?

00:58:30.000 You can crank it to charge the battery.

00:58:32.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:58:32.000 It's exhausting.

00:58:33.000 You charge for a while, but it works.

00:58:35.000 But you want to hear what's going on because they may say... You'll turn the radio on and it'll say a large group of whatever are heading south down I-90.

00:58:46.000 Leave the area now.

00:58:48.000 You know, it's estimated they'll arrive within one hour and then you're gonna be like, okay, it's time to get out of here.

00:58:52.000 Yeah, two-way radio, too.

00:58:53.000 That'll, if the internet goes out... Yeah, that's the kind of stuff that's happening in Ukraine, I'm sure.

00:58:57.000 Or happened, especially during the advances.

00:59:00.000 I mean, people just don't get it.

00:59:02.000 Imagine you're in your neighborhood.

00:59:02.000 All right?

00:59:04.000 Imagine there's shooting going on in every direction.

00:59:07.000 You walk outside.

00:59:09.000 It's cold.

00:59:10.000 Do you wear a coat?

00:59:11.000 Yes or no?

00:59:14.000 Yeah.

00:59:15.000 You get shot.

00:59:16.000 Someone sees you, they don't know what you're carrying, they say, don't know, don't care, I'm not taking the risk.

00:59:16.000 Oh, right.

00:59:21.000 When there's active conflict going on, so this is actually something that happened, a guy, I think it was like a civilian, was walking down the street, someone shot him because they were like, the coat was big, they couldn't tell if he was armed or not, and they didn't want to take a risk.

00:59:32.000 Because there's Russian and Ukrainian forces fighting, you see a random guy, you say, You wanna risk it?

00:59:38.000 You wanna be the one to walk over to him and make sure that he's on your side or not?

00:59:42.000 Or would you rather just sweep the area with your team you know you can trust and say, screw it to everybody else?

00:59:47.000 People don't get what war is like.

00:59:49.000 I'm not gonna pretend to have been in it.

00:59:51.000 I've been in civil unrest and some civil conflict, and even then, it's crazy.

00:59:55.000 The craziest thing about it is how normal things continue.

00:59:59.000 This is what really bugs me about the whole Civil War narrative, when Scott Adams and Bill Burr were like, go outside, nobody's fighting.

01:00:07.000 Scott Adams said, there's not going to be a Civil War.

01:00:10.000 You know how I know?

01:00:11.000 And then he said, there's no appetite for it outside of Twitter's imagination.

01:00:15.000 And someone responded, how do you know?

01:00:16.000 He said, what's your source?

01:00:17.000 He said, I went outside.

01:00:19.000 Yes, I've been, I was in Kiev during the Euromaidan protests.

01:00:24.000 There were riots, there were police, it was getting crazy, there were tents, and then you walk two blocks and you're at a shopping center.

01:00:30.000 In fact, the shopping center was in the Maidan Square.

01:00:33.000 So like, you could walk from the protests, Where there have been people firebombing tanks or APCs and you can walk inside and I'm gonna buy this coat right here and this shopping.

01:00:42.000 In Egypt during the revolution, you could walk two blocks from Tahrir Square and there's a McDonald's with people eating cheeseburgers and they're watching the game.

01:00:50.000 In the Hilton Hotel!

01:00:52.000 You could walk in while people... This is the craziest thing.

01:00:55.000 I'm on the 26th floor looking down.

01:00:57.000 People are throwing things at each other.

01:00:59.000 They're shooting each other.

01:01:00.000 It was two rival factions.

01:01:02.000 Secular Group and the Muslim Brotherhood.

01:01:04.000 APCs start rolling through with people riding on top.

01:01:06.000 They're hooting and hollering.

01:01:08.000 I walk 10 feet and there's a casino.

01:01:10.000 People are playing games and acting like nothing is happening.

01:01:12.000 People seem to think that when war breaks out, it's everyone running around, flailing, throwing things and screaming.

01:01:18.000 People still have to live.

01:01:20.000 Stores try to operate sometimes it gets so bad that the bullets stop people from doing it But if you've if you know you look at these videos out of Syria And there are people walking down the street carrying like a basket full of fruits while there's like shelling going on.

01:01:35.000 What are they supposed to do?

01:01:35.000 They gotta eat.

01:01:36.000 Humans still have to do these things.

01:01:39.000 The best, the craziest thing, when the war in Syria broke out, we tried pursuing this story while at Vice.

01:01:45.000 The Damascus tourism board was advertising for people, even in the United States, to come party and enjoy the nightlife of Damascus when there were like fears of sarin gas attacks.

01:01:56.000 And so we were like, we were at Vice and we were like, can we do this?

01:01:59.000 Like, can we go to Damascus and film a video that's literally just us partying and entertaining what they're advertising while acknowledging this war is going on?

01:02:09.000 So you're saying you don't shut down for war, but maybe for a virus sometimes?

01:02:14.000 I don't get it.

01:02:15.000 What's worse here?

01:02:17.000 You know, shout out to Elon Musk and Starlink and anyone else that's working on satellite internet, because if our terrestrial internet does go down, which is sounds extremely vulnerable, if it's underwater and cables right along where those pipelines run, they just got one of those, we need, you know, a backup.

01:02:32.000 And if we got internet satellites, then at least we'll be able to keep talking to each other.

01:02:36.000 I think that we can maintain order in a blackout.

01:02:38.000 There's satellite communications, two-way texting devices.

01:02:42.000 They're only a couple hundred bucks.

01:02:44.000 I recommend it.

01:02:44.000 Yeah, satellite internet's gotten a lot better.

01:02:46.000 That's why Wi-Fi is a lot better on planes now.

01:02:48.000 The new iPhones have satellite capabilities as well.

01:02:51.000 What?

01:02:51.000 Yep, the new iPhones, if you get lost and there's no cell phone service, You could literally use the iPhone as a way to track down satellites, as a way to send out an SOS signal and reach search and rescue anywhere and everywhere.

01:03:03.000 SOS via satellite.

01:03:06.000 That's impressive.

01:03:08.000 So I mean, yeah.

01:03:09.000 So 10 years ago, I was doing, a buddy of mine was doing security consulting.

01:03:13.000 I was assisting him.

01:03:14.000 He was a security guy.

01:03:15.000 I wasn't, but You know, I know a little bit about Infosec stuff and tech and drones, but one of the things that he got was a two-way texting device that allows you to send text messages.

01:03:24.000 It's this little gray box.

01:03:25.000 I'd have to imagine 10 years later, the technology's vastly improved.

01:03:28.000 So that's really cool.

01:03:29.000 And now it's in your cell phone.

01:03:31.000 The new iPhone 14.

01:03:32.000 Well, he's got one.

01:03:32.000 Great.

01:03:33.000 It's not even the phone, it's in the software update.

01:03:38.000 I think my phone, which is a 13, I remember seeing the SOS icon.

01:03:41.000 I'm not sure, because it's a new antenna that they're using to link with the satellite.

01:03:45.000 You might be right, but I'm not sure.

01:03:48.000 I think my phone suggests it, because when I have no bars, I see SOS, and I'm like, that must be it.

01:03:53.000 Takes over a minute to send under trees with light or medium foliage.

01:03:57.000 That's crazy.

01:03:58.000 If you're in ideal conditions, you have a view of the sky and the horizon, it'll take 15 seconds to send.

01:04:03.000 Oh my gosh, it's just an SOS call?

01:04:05.000 You don't get to send text?

01:04:06.000 Can you send text?

01:04:07.000 Well, you send information about what's going on here, and you go through the prompts, especially if you're lost.

01:04:11.000 It is iPhone 14.

01:04:12.000 Okay.

01:04:12.000 Yeah, it says, well, it is coming with an update, but it says using emergency SOS via your iPhone 14.

01:04:18.000 Okay, I guess you do have to have an iPhone 14, yeah.

01:04:21.000 Wow, I actually want to get one now.

01:04:23.000 Imagine you're hiking and you get lost.

01:04:25.000 Yeah, that's really, that's... You just hold it up and just wait for a minute.

01:04:28.000 That's crazy.

01:04:29.000 And then they're gonna get a GPS coordinate, and then you just bunker down.

01:04:32.000 Right.

01:04:32.000 Wow.

01:04:34.000 Cool stuff.

01:04:35.000 Modern technology.

01:04:35.000 That's awesome.

01:04:36.000 Yeah, it can be used to track you everywhere you go, of course.

01:04:39.000 Including completely off the grid.

01:04:40.000 There's probably a backdoor in there that, of course, is like satellites.

01:04:43.000 We can't see what he's saying!

01:04:45.000 Send in the satellite!

01:04:46.000 But it gives you the chance to track yourself, which is pretty cool.

01:04:50.000 This software should be free for sure.

01:04:53.000 Now there's no escaping the DARPA darknet and the surveillance system.

01:04:59.000 Well, the worrying thing is that technologies eventually become necessities.

01:05:03.000 Luxuries become necessities.

01:05:04.000 So what happens is in 20 years, you're walking through a forest, there's a, you know, a guy driving, you know, a park employee or a park ranger pulls up and he goes, You didn't register on the beacon system.

01:05:14.000 Where's your GPS?

01:05:16.000 It's like, I don't have one.

01:05:17.000 Put your hands behind your back.

01:05:19.000 But I'm from 2021!

01:05:21.000 Let me go! 0.94

01:05:22.000 Where's your permission slip to be in nature?

01:05:24.000 Which is what they're doing more and more of.

01:05:27.000 You literally need permission slip to go into a lot of national parks, and you need to make reservations sometimes years in advance.

01:05:33.000 It's absolutely crazy that the government is limiting people's ability to be in nature, and that's just... I want to use some French language here, but I won't.

01:05:44.000 Absolutely wrong.

01:05:45.000 That's funny that they call it French. 0.96

01:05:47.000 When people start swearing up a storm, they're like, that's French, man. 1.00

01:05:51.000 I love the French.

01:05:52.000 Shout out to the French, man, and their statue of liberty.

01:05:54.000 All right, let's talk about Elon Musk.

01:05:56.000 So, for those that don't know, Elon Musk's text messages have been released.

01:06:01.000 Not all of them, but many of them. 0.96

01:06:03.000 And some of them are, like, really silly. 0.98

01:06:05.000 Like, what is this? 0.98

01:06:06.000 I jump on a grand for you.

01:06:08.000 Like, I jump on a grand for you.

01:06:10.000 Well, this is what happens when someone's got an iPhone and then they like your text.

01:06:15.000 Android users see this ridiculous message.

01:06:19.000 Yeah, and I get it, and I'll say something like, you know, like, oh man, I'm feeling sick, and it'll be like, liked, oh man, I'm feeling sick, and I'm like, thanks for letting me know, I guess.

01:06:28.000 But I like that one, you're just tapping it.

01:06:29.000 So, Will, what's going on here?

01:06:31.000 Elon Musk is apparently gonna have to buy Twitter, what's the deal?

01:06:34.000 I mean, yeah, so the litigation's ongoing.

01:06:36.000 Remember that Twitter sued Elon Musk to try and make him buy the company and go through with the merger agreement.

01:06:42.000 I mean, and I've predicted for quite some time that Elon is gonna lose this lawsuit, and he's gonna be forced to buy Twitter.

01:06:48.000 The trial's coming up in a couple weeks.

01:06:50.000 But anyway, the reason we're seeing all this stuff is because right now they're doing this really rushed discovery process and everybody's producing everything, including all of Elon's text messages with people that relate in any way to the Twitter buyout.

01:07:03.000 And so some of these are absolutely hilarious.

01:07:06.000 There was a whole text conversation.

01:07:07.000 I think I sent it to the group.

01:07:09.000 Here's one from... Who is this?

01:07:12.000 Oh, this is with Jason Calacanis.

01:07:15.000 What's going on with you marketing and SPV to randos?

01:07:18.000 This is not okay.

01:07:20.000 Not randos.

01:07:20.000 I have the largest angel syndicate and that's how I invest, blah, blah, blah.

01:07:23.000 Yeah, so what are some of the good ones?

01:07:25.000 Oh, the good ones are this one with Parag.

01:07:27.000 So Parag, I think I put this on the Twitter group chat. 1.00

01:07:31.000 Parag is the CEO of Twitter.

01:07:33.000 Yeah, he says, yeah, Parag's the CEO of Twitter.

01:07:35.000 He says, you are free to tweet, quote, is Twitter dying, end quote, or anything else about Twitter, but it's my responsibility to tell you that it's not helping me make Twitter better in the current context.

01:07:43.000 Next time we speak, I'd like to provide you with perspective on the internal distraction, how it's causing it, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:07:49.000 Elon responds, what did you get done this week?

01:07:52.000 I'm not joining the board.

01:07:53.000 This is a waste of time.

01:07:54.000 We'll make an offer to take Twitter private.

01:07:58.000 Imagine talking to someone like Parag.

01:08:03.000 Like the way he talked, it's just, I'd be like, come on guys, say words.

01:08:07.000 Let's, let's, let's figure out what you need to get done that you don't like.

01:08:10.000 There's two typos in Parag's response.

01:08:13.000 I'd like to you provide you perspective, and then on the level of internal distraction right now, and how it hurting our ability to do work.

01:08:21.000 Like, he's the CEO of Twitter, and he gets two typos and a message to Elon Musk, who wants to spend 54 billion dollars, but the guy can't get his text right.

01:08:32.000 Right.

01:08:34.000 I would also be very annoyed if I got a text like that from someone that was purporting to be a CEO.

01:08:40.000 Check your text.

01:08:41.000 Yeah, I think it does show that sort of the decision to go and take Twitter private was a little bit emotional on Elon's part and kind of impulsive.

01:08:50.000 Yeah, he probably regretted it, huh?

01:08:52.000 Yeah, and I think that's the heart of a lawsuit, is that you just have buyer's remorse.

01:08:57.000 You just suddenly realize... The value tanked.

01:08:59.000 you know well not that the value tank but he thought he saw a general market downturn coming

01:09:03.000 and the the amount of money that it was going to take to buy twitter was just too big a portion of

01:09:08.000 his net worth and would have too many implications on tesla and and spacex yeah that and twitter's

01:09:13.000 you know trash yeah but i don't know i I think that was never why Elon really wanted to buy it.

01:09:20.000 He always said it wasn't an economic rationale and I heard that.

01:09:24.000 I got a question.

01:09:26.000 What does Elon care about his net worth?

01:09:28.000 I mean, I understand wanting to build stuff, but I mean, it implicates his ability to continue to control what happens at Tesla, for example, because most of his net worth is bound up in Tesla stock.

01:09:37.000 So I guess it would take too much of his stock.

01:09:40.000 Right.

01:09:40.000 So we'd have to sell too much of it.

01:09:41.000 The value would go down.

01:09:42.000 His overall control of Tesla might decrease.

01:09:45.000 I'm not exactly sure if Tesla operates with the Class A, Class B shares that always means that Elon's taking charge.

01:09:51.000 This is a question, you know.

01:09:52.000 Here's a question, right?

01:09:53.000 I've spent a long time working on this YouTube channel, as well as many other people.

01:10:00.000 And it's like, would I sacrifice these if it meant I got to own Twitter and then shut Twitter down?

01:10:12.000 And I'm kind of like, hmm, maybe.

01:10:14.000 I think ultimately Twitter is going to be a better business than Tesla, frankly.

01:10:19.000 Well, Tesla is working on a lot of things like personalized robots.

01:10:22.000 I don't know if you heard about this one.

01:10:24.000 They might be, but I'm still, I mean, their basic business is car manufacturing and car manufacturing is a terrible business.

01:10:32.000 It's just super capital intensive.

01:10:34.000 I mean, every other car manufacturer in the world trades at like a price to earnings ratio of six

01:10:39.000 or something, which is just way below average.

01:10:41.000 And the government's not giving him any subsidies.

01:10:43.000 They're giving it to a lot of other companies.

01:10:45.000 So it's just, I think, you know, being an auto manufacturer is actually a really rough

01:10:50.000 and hard business.

01:10:51.000 There's a reason Tesla was like, a few years ago, was like nearly going bankrupt.

01:10:55.000 And why a lot of the big manufacturers go to Mexico or China.

01:10:59.000 Oh yeah, and I mean, think about all the constant bankruptcies you hear about GM and Ford.

01:11:02.000 And I mean, it's super competitive too.

01:11:04.000 That's the other thing.

01:11:05.000 Elon's not the only guy making electric cars.

01:11:07.000 There's a billion other manufacturers coming out with them.

01:11:09.000 So I look at Twitter and Twitter's kind of got this almost monopoly on this particular type

01:11:14.000 of public square communication.

01:11:15.000 It's just a question of how to monetize it.

01:11:17.000 But, you know, compare it, like all the Twitter competitors are getting wrecked.

01:11:21.000 It's not the same in car manufacturers where there's a lot of effective competition.

01:11:26.000 Mine doesn't have a lot of overhead, which is a big upside.

01:11:28.000 Like Twitter's got, I don't know, 5,000 employees?

01:11:30.000 Sure.

01:11:30.000 It's a ridiculous amount of money you spend on that.

01:11:33.000 I don't even know what they're doing. 0.98

01:11:34.000 Fire them all.

01:11:35.000 But like, I mean, think about what happened to Parler, right?

01:11:38.000 Like Parler, I don't know if you saw, there was actually a small news item, but the new Parler CEO basically said they're They're pivoting away from their legacy social media business into servers, similar to Rumble, create the uncancellable economy.

01:11:54.000 Gab's been getting wrecked, right?

01:11:55.000 I see.

01:11:57.000 Cloud services.

01:11:58.000 Yeah.

01:11:59.000 Basically, that's the new CEO of Parler looking at it and like, wow, this social media business is not going anywhere.

01:12:05.000 I'm going to do something else with this company.

01:12:07.000 Jason, is he still the CEO?

01:12:09.000 The new CEO?

01:12:10.000 No, Jason left.

01:12:12.000 I think it's Candace Owen's husband is the new CEO of Parler.

01:12:16.000 George Farmer.

01:12:18.000 Parler and Getter and Gab.

01:12:20.000 I mean, Getter is just funded by the Chinese billionaire, the guy who funds Bannon.

01:12:25.000 I thought he was bankrupt.

01:12:28.000 I don't think he's bankrupt, but that's where the original funding for that came from.

01:12:32.000 Jason Miller of Getter is who I was talking about, and he's still CEO.

01:12:35.000 See, that's the thing.

01:12:35.000 I got Parler and Getter mixed up.

01:12:37.000 They're both er, Twitter, Getter, Parler.

01:12:40.000 They're just copying Carbon.

01:12:41.000 What's the difference here?

01:12:42.000 It's all proprietary with no E, just the consonant and then the R. The only way they're trying to compete, their entire competitive advantage is we don't censor.

01:12:50.000 But that's not really a competitive advantage.

01:12:52.000 The end result of that is, the core of your user base then becomes the people who were censored.

01:13:01.000 I don't even know why people use Twitter!

01:13:03.000 I don't know, I mean, I like Twitter, and Twitter's where everybody else is, so it's still the functional public square.

01:13:08.000 I think this is one of those, Twitter and this particular type of social media business is just, it's a natural monopoly.

01:13:14.000 Elon, he needs to buy it, man.

01:13:16.000 Yeah, things would be so much better if he did.

01:13:18.000 Because we need Alex Jones back, we need Carl Benjamin back, we need Milo Yiannopoulos back, we need Laura Loomer back.

01:13:24.000 These people should be on there, they should be saying what they think, and they should be allowed to say what they think.

01:13:27.000 Yeah, Elon, I mean, just settle, dude.

01:13:29.000 You're gonna lose anyway.

01:13:30.000 He's going to lose this lawsuit, settle, buy the company.

01:13:33.000 Maybe that's the idea.

01:13:35.000 He's going to get it cheaper now just by forcing a settlement.

01:13:37.000 Maybe, but we're close to a trial and an order from the judge that says, yeah, Elon, you are ordered to buy the company at this price.

01:13:46.000 But what if he can't?

01:13:47.000 Oh, he can.

01:13:49.000 He has the money.

01:13:50.000 And everybody knows he has the money.

01:13:52.000 You can do public, based on his public holdings of Tesla, for example.

01:13:55.000 But can they force liquidation of Tesla stock?

01:13:57.000 Oh yeah.

01:13:58.000 Yeah.

01:13:58.000 Wow.

01:13:59.000 And hold him in contempt.

01:14:00.000 Well, basically, they can hold him in contempt until he does it, and charge it, and find him enough money that effectively enforces it.

01:14:06.000 Yeah, I think you said this before, that a judge can hold you in contempt in a way that's reasonable to make you comply.

01:14:13.000 Right.

01:14:13.000 Meaning, like, if you're very wealthy, they will just make it painful for you.

01:14:17.000 Right.

01:14:17.000 There's no limit to the amount they can fine you if you're just flouting a court order, right?

01:14:24.000 They're going to do as much as is necessary to get you to comply.

01:14:27.000 Did you guys see the Jack Dorsey Elon Musk texts?

01:14:29.000 Are those also from Discovery?

01:14:31.000 Yeah, yeah, it's like I have it all here, but there's like no way I'm gonna be able to go through.

01:14:34.000 Yeah, there's better formats I've seen of it.

01:14:38.000 CNBC did a story on it.

01:14:40.000 Jack Dorsey tried to get Elon Musk to report it.

01:14:42.000 But it's them talking about basically that they want to, they both want to decentralize the technology and work together.

01:14:48.000 And the Jack was like, I couldn't, I could try and get you on the board.

01:14:51.000 I got 3% of the company and really no pull there, but I'll see what I can do.

01:14:54.000 And then he's like, what I really want to do is use this stuff as a decentralized protocol.

01:14:58.000 And Elon's like, okay, I like that idea.

01:15:00.000 So if he buys Twitter, uses the software, frees the software code, makes it like a universal global effort to create a decentralized... Encrypts private messages so they can't get leaked to anyone.

01:15:09.000 Well, the downside of encrypted messages is if I send you something encrypted, you can send that to anyone.

01:15:14.000 You've got to trust the person on the other end, but the idea is it's encrypted between the two people that are using the message.

01:15:22.000 Yeah, encrypted messaging is key.

01:15:24.000 So how do you think this is going to play out?

01:15:25.000 How do you see this kind of going forward?

01:15:27.000 What's the timeline?

01:15:28.000 And then do you see a big kind of blowback if Elon does take over that there might be some efforts because Bill Gates already had a lot of secretive efforts with his I mean, I don't think they can really compromise it as a platform.

01:15:43.000 Elon Musk.

01:15:44.000 They had a big public beef.

01:15:45.000 He used a lot of his NGOs as a form to attack him.

01:15:49.000 Will there be attacks on Twitter to of course compromise it as a platform?

01:15:54.000 I mean I don't think they can really compromise it as a platform.

01:15:57.000 I think you'll see the activists will be in a different position where because Elon won't

01:16:01.000 pay attention to the left-wing activists in the same way that the current management does.

01:16:05.000 What I'm speculating is, what if someone says, okay, well, Elon has the platform.

01:16:08.000 Now let's talk about how many bots are on the platform.

01:16:11.000 Oh, it's 50% of the platform.

01:16:14.000 But it's a private company, so it's not subject to the same sort of securities regulations.

01:16:18.000 But someone could leak or try to, of course, sabotage the company.

01:16:21.000 Yeah, I mean, maybe, but it's the sort of obvious methods of sabotage that you're thinking of wouldn't work in the world where it's a private company, and then it doesn't have to obey securities laws in the same way, right?

01:16:32.000 Where it's, you know, it's one of the big disciplining things about our system, and I think people, you know, we think that the free market and capitalism only, you know, works because of competition, but one big thing is that public company CEOs have to tell the truth about their companies every three months in a way that politicians don't.

01:16:49.000 You know, politicians can just lie and lie and lie about the operation of the government and so can the department

01:16:55.000 heads and nobody goes Nobody's ever, you know threatened with jail for that

01:16:58.000 But if you are a public company CEO and you lie about your business results, you can go to jail for securities fraud

01:17:04.000 But there's why don't we make it so that whenever you're inaugurated or whatever you swear an oath to you know, tell

01:17:10.000 the truth Well, it's like, it's, it's like the government, the problem is it's the government trying to hold itself accountable for honesty and especially like the highest level officials.

01:17:18.000 And it just doesn't, it doesn't work the same way.

01:17:20.000 The reason this works is because the sovereign is imposing that discipline on, on public company CEOs.

01:17:26.000 I remember James Clapper testifying under oath that they weren't wittingly spying on the American people with the PRISM software, or the PRISM program, and they were.

01:17:34.000 But I mean, and they used the word wittingly, like maybe they were inadvertently doing it and didn't realize it, but I mean, I think they were kind of wittingly spying and like, no, there was no...

01:17:42.000 Yeah, you know, there's these external consequences, right?

01:17:45.000 Like, even James Clapper should have been prosecuted, but, I mean, you can't, the intelligence agencies have their own problem, which is, like, ultimately the J. Edgar Hoover problem.

01:17:53.000 They know too much.

01:17:54.000 Yeah, lying to Congress, you know, that's a charge that's being thrown around right now.

01:17:58.000 Hoover did that routinely.

01:17:59.000 Exactly.

01:17:59.000 All the CIA agents did that routinely.

01:18:01.000 But, you know, individuals like Roger Stone get charged for that.

01:18:04.000 Other individuals, like the former head of the CIA, that knowingly lie, that also get us into wars, no.

01:18:11.000 It's weird, it's like the industrial agriculture of politics is like, or what do you call it, when they have a bunch of like pig slaughterhouses in secret.

01:18:20.000 We don't want to look at it, we don't want to smell it, but we know those pigs are getting cut up in like tens by tens of thousands.

01:18:25.000 People are grabbing piglets and smashing them on the ground because they don't like them. 0.91

01:18:28.000 Like crazy people work in these slaughter shops.

01:18:31.000 We know it's happening, a lot of people do, but we're just letting it happen because we want that bacon.

01:18:35.000 We know the CIA is lying, but we just let it happen because we need a secret agency Telling lies for a living, like that's the whole point of the CIA.

01:18:42.000 I don't know if you can compare the CIA to bacon, you know, bacon has a purpose.

01:18:46.000 Bacon actually helps people.

01:18:48.000 I have bacon every morning and it's the light of my day.

01:18:51.000 I'll tell you more about it.

01:18:52.000 I just started this CIA book and I'm going to read more about it.

01:18:55.000 What is it called?

01:18:56.000 It's called, let me see, Legacy of Ashes.

01:18:59.000 Wow.

01:19:00.000 Sounds about right.

01:19:00.000 Yeah, which is really, I mean, I think... Is that from the JFK quote?

01:19:04.000 I'm not sure.

01:19:05.000 JFK had a famous quote about what he wanted to do with the CIA.

01:19:09.000 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.99

01:19:12.000 It was like, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna tear him up, set him on fire, and then piss on him! 0.72

01:19:16.000 There's a really great ex-CIA, former CIA counter-terrorist expert, Kevin Shipp, and I highly recommend looking up anything he does on the internet. 0.90

01:19:23.000 He wrote a book called From the Company of Shadows, talking about CIA operations abuse of secrecy, and he's like, Full out.

01:19:28.000 They've threatened his family, he said, since he's left and talked about it.

01:19:31.000 But he's like just straight up and telling you there's like a law they have that lets them lie.

01:19:35.000 It almost encourages for the name of national defense.

01:19:38.000 It's standard protocol.

01:19:39.000 What was Mike Pompeo's?

01:19:41.000 He said, you know, we were taught to lie, cheat and steal.

01:19:44.000 And that's exactly what we did.

01:19:45.000 He said something to that tone.

01:19:47.000 I got to pull it up.

01:19:47.000 I forgot what it was.

01:19:49.000 Yeah, I've just, I also finished, same guy, Tim Weiner, wrote a book called Enemies, which was about the FBI.

01:19:56.000 That's also a really good book.

01:19:57.000 I've sort of been, you know, read about the FBI and the CIA since we're all talking about fixing them.

01:20:02.000 Fixing.

01:20:03.000 Yeah, dismantling.

01:20:06.000 But yeah, the big thesis of the CIA book so far is the CIA is actually incompetent.

01:20:11.000 We think of it as scary and over-abusive, but the big lesson is more than anything, it was just straight up incompetent and killed a lot of its own agents for no good reason.

01:20:20.000 Well, I would argue that's a cover, but that's just my own pure speculations.

01:20:25.000 But Mike Pompeo did say on the record, quote, we lied, we cheated, we stole, we had entire training courses.

01:20:31.000 It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment.

01:20:34.000 That's literally what he said, and now he might be running to be the next president of the United States.

01:20:40.000 The glory of the American experiment, meaning like stealing the land from the native population? 0.87

01:20:45.000 Uh, that's, you know, like telling them, you know, we're gonna, we're gonna make a deal with you and then not giving them this stuff.

01:20:51.000 I mean, there's a, well, I think it was known as the natives would give their land for like blankets and then they wanted the land back and they're like, no, you call that, they call it an Indian giver.

01:20:59.000 It was like this real offensive, you know, I'm not, they still call them Indian, like they're from India.

01:21:03.000 I'm not an expert in Indian history, but I know there's a lot of contention to what actually happened.

01:21:07.000 Indian history is in India, the Native American population, that was abuse of slander to call those people Indians, especially if they knew they didn't land in India.

01:21:13.000 And they knew that really early on.

01:21:14.000 I think actually a lot of them don't care.

01:21:16.000 Well, I care.

01:21:17.000 But call Indians Indian, call Native Americans Americans. 0.63

01:21:22.000 I think that I don't know.

01:21:22.000 That's my opinion.

01:21:23.000 We gotta jump to this story, my friends.

01:21:26.000 It's the end of an era.

01:21:27.000 Trevor Noah quits The Daily Show after Wokery saw viewing figures slump to around 363,000 a show.

01:21:34.000 Seven years of taking over from Jon Stewart, who routinely pulled in an audience of 1.5 million.

01:21:39.000 Yeah, I do think Wokery played a role, but I also think it's just a change in how media is being consumed.

01:21:45.000 I think Jon Stewart was the real talent.

01:21:47.000 Trevor Noah was kind of a nobody, so he couldn't really pull anything in.

01:21:51.000 And also, Who's gonna be watching this show?

01:21:53.000 Yeah, Jon Stewart built that show.

01:21:55.000 Trevor Noah just inherited it.

01:21:57.000 But this is still good news.

01:21:59.000 I think Trevor Noah was bad.

01:21:59.000 Yes.

01:22:02.000 He had half-truths and misinformation consistently on his show that he wouldn't fact-check.

01:22:06.000 And these are the kind of people that believed Russiagate, Ukrainegate, Hands Up, Don't Shoot, Ahmaud Arbery, you know, the Trayvon Martin stuff.

01:22:13.000 They believed all the lies, the manipulations.

01:22:15.000 So, seeing him go.

01:22:16.000 I was talking about this earlier.

01:22:19.000 It is the end of an era.

01:22:19.000 The corporate establishment, the woke establishment, they are dwindling.

01:22:23.000 James Corden, is that his name, that guy?

01:22:25.000 Saturday Night Live got cancelled.

01:22:25.000 He's out.

01:22:27.000 She's out.

01:22:28.000 Did Corden quit?

01:22:29.000 I think he quit.

01:22:30.000 Did Trevor Noah quit?

01:22:31.000 He is quitting.

01:22:32.000 He's not out yet, but he's announced his departure from the show.

01:22:35.000 And so, good. 0.98

01:22:37.000 This is effectively the end of this trash. 0.98

01:22:37.000 Who are they gonna get? 0.98

01:22:40.000 Jon Stewart may have had something back in the day, but he created this breed of mechanical, formulaic, fake political humor that has plagued this country for a decade.

01:22:50.000 So I'm glad to see Trevor Noah out.

01:22:53.000 Hopefully, things like this start to spread out and downturn.

01:22:57.000 Hopefully there's more of this.

01:22:58.000 I mean, you know, the thing about Jon Stewart who destroyed Crossfire, you remember that?

01:23:01.000 That's right, that's right.

01:23:03.000 And Crossfire, at the time, he was like, this is partisan hackery, we can do so much better.

01:23:07.000 And it's like, Crossfire was the last time you had Republicans and Democrats regularly debating each other on equal terms on a major network. 0.96

01:23:15.000 Jon Stewart comes in, smug as a button, and says, this is garbage, and mocks Tucker Carlson. 0.57

01:23:19.000 And what is Jon Stewart's legacy? 1.00

01:23:23.000 Garbage, formulaic, trash humor. 1.00

01:23:26.000 We get it, John Oliver. 0.99

01:23:27.000 It's the current year, little Timothy.

01:23:29.000 It's not just that.

01:23:31.000 It's that somebody actually wrote out the formula for John Oliver's show.

01:23:37.000 And it was like, say thing, compare it to thing in the past, say what year it is, then say Timothy.

01:23:44.000 And it was like, you're like, wow, he actually does that like half the time.

01:23:47.000 That's crazy.

01:23:48.000 And then it was like, they mentioned there would be beats with claps from the audience, like, and it was this meme that was talking about how this was basically programming people.

01:23:55.000 Say thing, call it absurd whether it's true or not, tell the audience to clap for it.

01:24:01.000 That's Jon Stewart's legacy.

01:24:02.000 Samantha Bee, all that stuff, gone.

01:24:03.000 Good.

01:24:04.000 Yeah, and it's all been terrible.

01:24:06.000 Jon Stewart was the original, and I remember Jon Stewart being pretty funny at times.

01:24:10.000 He actually had real talent, but god, the derivatives of Jon Stewart were so bad.

01:24:16.000 The echoes of Stewart.

01:24:17.000 The Colbert Report was horror.

01:24:19.000 I thought it was so bad.

01:24:21.000 He was pretending to be a warmonger, and you couldn't tell if he was being honest or not.

01:24:25.000 It was the worst propaganda.

01:24:26.000 He was being honest.

01:24:27.000 He was being a warmonger.

01:24:29.000 Yeah.

01:24:29.000 He was basically like, well, that's why we need war.

01:24:33.000 And you're like, is he?

01:24:34.000 People don't understand you're joking, bro.

01:24:37.000 Like that with you, you program people for a decade.

01:24:39.000 Have you watched his show?

01:24:41.000 I nearly vomited for like 10 years.

01:24:43.000 Oh, he's totally corporate with a late show.

01:24:45.000 He wants money and he'll hide behind, you know, whoever's John Stewart.

01:24:49.000 John Stewart's legacy is a plague on this country.

01:24:53.000 Like, Jordan Klepper is his name or whatever, Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert.

01:24:58.000 These are not good people helping this country.

01:24:59.000 The only good alumni of The Daily Show are the people who went into acting, like Steve Carell.

01:25:05.000 Right.

01:25:05.000 That's it.

01:25:06.000 Yeah, he avoided political propaganda.

01:25:07.000 He avoided the political stuff and he just did The Office and has been funny for a decade.

01:25:11.000 I mean Colbert was funny on the Daily Show when he was the correspondent. 0.99

01:25:15.000 I thought he's a funny actor, but his political crap is like just over the top. 0.96

01:25:20.000 Yeah, I thought Colbert Report was better than the current version of Colbert's late night show, which is just pure, like the most banal thing ever. 0.95

01:25:28.000 When Jon Stewart went on Colbert's show, the new one, and said that lab leak was the most likely scenario for COVID, and Colbert was pushing back like, no, no, no, no.

01:25:38.000 That contrast right there was the difference between what Jon Stewart started and what his legacy is.

01:25:44.000 Right.

01:25:44.000 That's true.

01:25:45.000 And he was very busy also dancing with the syringes.

01:25:48.000 So he was preoccupied and couldn't really think straight there.

01:25:52.000 But who thought?

01:25:54.000 Just being a show for the establishment wasn't paying off.

01:25:57.000 And I think a big reason to why this is happening is because probably Comedy Central is running out of money.

01:26:04.000 And I think they're going to move into the same realm as MTV.

01:26:07.000 Do they have anything now?

01:26:09.000 I mean, I guess they have South Parks now?

01:26:10.000 They have reruns of South Parks.

01:26:12.000 I guess they don't even get original South Parks.

01:26:14.000 Which are now premiered originally on Paramount+.

01:26:18.000 So even Comedy Central doesn't have that.

01:26:20.000 So they're probably going to be running just reruns of old shows, Tosh.0, and just like MTV.

01:26:28.000 And Jon Stewart.

01:26:29.000 I mean, Comedy Central was like the cable network.

01:26:32.000 Absolutely.

01:26:33.000 And it pushed the limit, especially with Chappelle.

01:26:36.000 It pushed the Overton window and it was able to have a conversation that was pretty spicy and wild.

01:26:41.000 You know what this photo is?

01:26:43.000 Compliance.

01:26:43.000 Daily Show audience.

01:26:45.000 And what do you notice about it?

01:26:46.000 Masks.

01:26:47.000 What year is it?

01:26:50.000 It's 2022, little Timothy!

01:26:51.000 Take off your mask!

01:26:53.000 What is going on with the Daily Show's audience that they're all still doing this?

01:26:57.000 And they're not laughing, they're clapping.

01:26:58.000 And it's a cult!

01:27:00.000 This is what a cult is.

01:27:03.000 They're not following the guidelines anymore.

01:27:04.000 They're in their own weird cult.

01:27:07.000 Yo, the Masked Maniacs are gone!

01:27:09.000 What are you doing?

01:27:10.000 What's going on, man?

01:27:11.000 It's been almost two, it's been over a year.

01:27:13.000 They're still doing it.

01:27:15.000 Crazy.

01:27:16.000 Well, congratulations, Jon Stewart.

01:27:19.000 You know, he has come back and he's dabbled in wokeness and stuff now, too.

01:27:23.000 Because people are just desperate for relevance, I guess.

01:27:27.000 I mean, it must be said, you know, there's a lot of people who are in, say, the music industry, and they get a handful of hit songs.

01:27:33.000 Then the next album comes out, and it's like, it sells decently.

01:27:36.000 The next album comes out, and no one really cares.

01:27:39.000 And then their next album comes out, and it sells literally nothing, and they get dropped by their label.

01:27:42.000 These people lost it.

01:27:44.000 They're so desperate and scared that you offer them anything, they'll take it.

01:27:48.000 I saw reality TV dancing with the chef.

01:27:51.000 It's like, okay, you're going to dance and this guy's going to cook food at the same time.

01:27:53.000 Like I'll do anything.

01:27:54.000 I want to be the natural trajectory of a of a international here.

01:27:58.000 Harvey Weinstein said loudly to his candidates, the modern superstar does different things.

01:28:05.000 You don't keep doing what made you famous when you were young.

01:28:07.000 You got to go on to the next thing, make some hit songs, make a hot TV show, learn Russian, learn how to cook, maybe start a bread baking company.

01:28:16.000 Like you've got to do new things.

01:28:17.000 You can't Back in the day, they just recycled the same garbage, but then they get unhappy, and then they start just playing the game to play the game, and they get lazy.

01:28:25.000 So, you've really got to branch out.

01:28:27.000 And because the reason you can do that is because all the tools are at your fingertips.

01:28:30.000 You can learn Russian tonight.

01:28:31.000 You can start baking.

01:28:33.000 You have access to every food on earth, essentially, right now.

01:28:35.000 Well, a lot of people do.

01:28:37.000 I'm very lucky to have access to every food on earth right now.

01:28:39.000 A lot of them.

01:28:40.000 So, you may or may not.

01:28:42.000 I don't know.

01:28:44.000 You know, you can look up ingredients online, you can look up recipes, you can start baking tonight.

01:28:49.000 It's never been easier to learn to cook, I will say that.

01:28:49.000 There's so many things.

01:28:51.000 That's very true.

01:28:52.000 You can't get wasabi. 0.99

01:28:53.000 Yeah?

01:28:54.000 Oh, scandalous.

01:28:55.000 I think it's like you can only get it actually in Japan.

01:28:58.000 So what we have is like a weird... I'm being hyperbolic with every food on earth, but you have a wide variety of foods to choose from and recipes available at your fingertips.

01:29:05.000 Languages.

01:29:06.000 You can learn how to pilot with flight simulators.

01:29:08.000 Like right now, you can start learning the basics and then go take your pilot's exam.

01:29:12.000 You're making me hungry.

01:29:13.000 I'm just waiting for that bacon to come in, so we ran out of the pre-wrapped bacon.

01:29:25.000 I had to order more, but it takes, you know, a week or so to come in.

01:29:28.000 The reason that came to mind is because, like, if Jon Stewart did learn Russian and went to Russia and started talking as, like, a diplomat, now we're talking international superstardom again, and he doesn't have to, like, hang on to Stephen Colbert's coattails to try and stay relevant and, like, say the new cool thing.

01:29:43.000 But it takes a lot of effort to learn new things.

01:29:45.000 There's no reason that Jon Stewart couldn't actually be a very interesting figure if he just dispensed with the wokeness, because I don't think that's really him. 1.00

01:29:52.000 That wasn't him in the 2000s at all.

01:29:54.000 He praised Project Veritas on more than one occasion.

01:29:56.000 And he criticized people, even Barack Obama and his drone strikes, which was rare, and he broke from the norm.

01:30:04.000 Whenever you see someone trying to be accepted and be liked, that's just a disgusting behavior that naturally human beings are like, okay, this is fake.

01:30:13.000 This is ingenuine.

01:30:15.000 I don't like any of this.

01:30:16.000 Get away from me.

01:30:17.000 But when someone's being themselves and willing to push, you know, the envelope and willing to be themselves and willing to actually speak truth to power, that's respectable.

01:30:24.000 That's something that People, you know, really love because it resonates with them and it's rare.

01:30:29.000 But it also helps progress society and make society better when you're willing to, of course, get out of the agenda, get out of the narrative, and be able to actually have a real honest conversation and stop bullshitting people about all this nonsense that, of course, is all a part of an agenda meant to enslave humanity.

01:30:46.000 So yeah, that's just my opinion at the last bit there.

01:30:49.000 My last bit there was just conjecture there for me, but you get the point.

01:30:54.000 This story, I think, is a white pill moment.

01:30:57.000 It's optimism.

01:30:58.000 You know, so I mentioned this at the start of the show.

01:31:01.000 I did a segment on this earlier in the day, and I mentioned that we are going to have one of the towers on New Year's Eve.

01:31:09.000 So it's a substantial amount of advertisement.

01:31:12.000 There's, I think, 10 ads that rotate over 100 seconds.

01:31:14.000 We'll have one of those sets.

01:31:15.000 They're all synchronized.

01:31:16.000 It's going to be amazing.

01:31:17.000 And everybody who's watching the celebration is going to see that ad because they're playing the celebration all day.

01:31:23.000 So it's just all day, all over the world, everyone tuning into New York City.

01:31:26.000 We are taking that space over.

01:31:28.000 I don't see the Daily Show up there.

01:31:29.000 You got to do a thing where it's just a beanie and then you slowly materialize into it and then you're there.

01:31:34.000 I mean, that'd be cool, but I don't know if it would like send an effective message.

01:31:37.000 Message to me, man.

01:31:38.000 That'd be awesome.

01:31:39.000 I guess.

01:31:40.000 I was thinking like, you know, one marketing strategy would be to go weird by just doing like using every, every screen to show Roberto Jr.

01:31:48.000 Because then people are going to be like, what is this?

01:31:50.000 And then you want them to ask and remember.

01:31:52.000 And then why is there a chicken up on?

01:31:55.000 Yeah, but I was like, no, maybe we'll just do, you know, we had to figure it out, but we want the personalities, various personalities.

01:32:00.000 You gotta do a Super Bowl ad at some point.

01:32:01.000 piece of them and all the different screens but if you stand back far enough

01:32:03.000 you can see the whole thing the whole the whole chicken yeah but I was like

01:32:06.000 no maybe we'll just do you know we had to figure it out but we want the

01:32:10.000 personalities various person you gotta do a Super Bowl Super Bowl out at some

01:32:14.000 point that would be absolutely insane we yeah chickens playing football but I

01:32:23.000 think those are substantially more yeah as are insane yeah I could raise money

01:32:27.000 for it so like we weren't able to get the actual package the

01:32:32.000 I'll just tell people like well maybe I shouldn't just yet because I don't know what the contract stuff is but let me just say like there's a premium New York package they have for specifically for New Years that includes like a national run and it just costs millions of dollars.

01:32:46.000 Yeah.

01:32:46.000 And then when they called me and they were like this is what we want to do with with Timcast.

01:32:51.000 And then I was like, wow, how much is that?

01:32:52.000 And they were like X million.

01:32:53.000 And I started laughing.

01:32:55.000 And I was like, okay, dude, like maybe next year.

01:32:57.000 Yeah.

01:32:58.000 Maybe, maybe, maybe one day I was like, but Hey, thanks for having faith and thinking we're capable of doing those things.

01:33:05.000 What we got is expensive, but it's like, look, we're getting 10% of the boards, so it's not like it's anywhere near that expensive.

01:33:13.000 You mentioned earlier, but is it a 24-hour run on each board?

01:33:16.000 Just looping?

01:33:16.000 It's two weeks.

01:33:18.000 All day, every day, for two weeks?

01:33:19.000 For two weeks, all day, every day.

01:33:21.000 That's great.

01:33:21.000 So we can do a lot of different stuff.

01:33:24.000 Yeah, so technically you give them your ad set and then they run it, but you can always send them updates.

01:33:30.000 How many in a day, different ones, can you run in one day?

01:33:33.000 I mean, I'd imagine as many as you want.

01:33:35.000 You'd annoy the crap out of them by telling them to keep changing it.

01:33:37.000 They might be like, come on, dude, chill.

01:33:39.000 But we could do an update on Christmas, because it's going to be there through Christmas, and then on New Year's put something updated for New Year's.

01:33:47.000 So you can actually like what you're basically renting the space and they're digital so you can change them to whatever you want.

01:33:51.000 Do like some hyperbolic stuff like the world is changing call to action of some sort.

01:33:56.000 Like stuff where like you are in control.

01:33:59.000 This is your world call to action.

01:34:02.000 I think you know we thought about doing some kind of message like you are not the elite anymore or something but I think the most effective thing is literally just a basic ad.

01:34:09.000 You are the elite now, talking to common man.

01:34:12.000 The idea is that if we make it an activist statement, we set ourselves apart from the cultural establishment.

01:34:18.000 If we put ourselves there, the average person just sees us as part of it.

01:34:22.000 So we've invaded that space, we've taken their clout, and then we're gonna have Luke standing next to some of these people, and it's just gonna be hilarious.

01:34:30.000 I just think that's funny.

01:34:31.000 A broken clock is right twice a day, and then show a picture of me like...

01:34:36.000 Roll a 20.

01:34:37.000 Critical success.

01:34:42.000 Similar to the ads we already have but we're gonna be at this party where they have like a special area there's a live performance VIP only indoors it's catered buffet and the people who are there are apparently like the New York royalty politicians real estate owners And then it's going to be us.

01:34:59.000 So I'm excited for that.

01:35:01.000 I think it's going to be utterly fantastic.

01:35:04.000 But we're going to go to Super Chats.

01:35:06.000 Let me pull up the Super Chats.

01:35:08.000 It takes just about one second.

01:35:10.000 Luke, say words while I do this.

01:35:12.000 Words.

01:35:13.000 Words, words, words, words, words.

01:35:15.000 What's your favorite Cyrillic letter?

01:35:18.000 My favorite Cyrillic letter is J.

01:35:22.000 That's the last letter of the alphabet.

01:35:24.000 One more time, Ian.

01:35:26.000 From start to finish.

01:35:27.000 A, B, C, D. Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com, because what are we going to do with it?

01:35:41.000 We are going to like, I don't know, take over Times Square, or at least be as a part of it.

01:35:46.000 for big events and where our goal is just to keep pushing into the cultural spaces.

01:35:50.000 We are working on the next release of a song uh for our music projects and we've got uh some some big industry guys that are working with us so success is is happening now and you know look you plant the seeds with what the daily wire is doing the stuff we're doing and many others hopefully in 10 years we've completely won the culture war look Trevor Noah's out we're winning baby let's read some super chats smash that like button if you haven't already Harry To says, hello Luke, lately you are looking amazing.

01:36:17.000 Thank you, I appreciate that.

01:36:19.000 You know, I have a lot of people calling me very bold and very beautiful.

01:36:22.000 I appreciate it very much.

01:36:24.000 Blueheart says, if Ian isn't transformed into She-Hulk this episode, then meditating didn't work like I thought.

01:36:24.000 That's right.

01:36:30.000 Oh, the episode's not over yet.

01:36:33.000 Nova says, if you put Alex Jones up in Times Square, I will up my sub to $25 tier until 2024.

01:36:38.000 Do it, it will drive them nuts.

01:36:43.000 We'll see.

01:36:44.000 It's an issue of, um, we talked to Alex.

01:36:46.000 I'm sure Alex would say yes, but there are rules.

01:36:49.000 So they, they could say no, and then you can't really do anything.

01:36:52.000 You're renting someone's property.

01:36:54.000 Like you're, you're, it's a rental.

01:36:55.000 You know what I mean?

01:36:56.000 But, um, we did think about it.

01:36:58.000 Michael Malice, I thought was, um, the next best thing we could do because there's nothing they can really say about him, but he, he pokes the bear very well.

01:37:06.000 Like a funny picture of Alex with the tinfoil hat on or something.

01:37:09.000 That might be a good hat.

01:37:10.000 But what's the message, right?

01:37:11.000 So it's a question of... Tim, follow, join us.

01:37:15.000 But he's not like a part of the show in any way. 0.97

01:37:16.000 He's just a goofball.

01:37:17.000 Michael is like, he's a recurring guest who's done pranks and gags that we've had on the show.

01:37:22.000 So I was like, it makes sense.

01:37:23.000 And he's very effective in his challenge to the establishment.

01:37:27.000 So we dig it.

01:37:29.000 Beavis McLean says, and now to our good friend, Beavis McLean.

01:37:32.000 Tim, I audibly cheered at your Times Square announcement today.

01:37:35.000 I startled the entire supermarket, but I regret nothing.

01:37:39.000 Love what you and the gang are doing.

01:37:40.000 I hope this helps fund more great jamming.

01:37:43.000 Yeah, man.

01:37:44.000 I was just like, it's gonna be cool when these people look up on New Year's Eve.

01:37:44.000 That was it.

01:37:49.000 Oh, I just gotta tell you, when we had the ads in Times Square, these lefties were tweeting, like, why is there a 40-foot-tall Tim Pool?

01:37:56.000 Like, what?

01:37:56.000 I'm barfing and I'm just laughing.

01:37:58.000 I'm like, because we're winning, dude.

01:38:00.000 And so for them to be sitting at home with their parents and like watching CNN, and then they just see it all big in the background behind Anderson Cooper, and they go, what?

01:38:08.000 Yeah, we're winning, dude.

01:38:10.000 It's all thanks to our faithful viewers and members.

01:38:13.000 Grofty says, Bocas for president. 0.94

01:38:16.000 Bocas took a piss on the wall today, and he stared directly into my eyes. 0.94

01:38:22.000 I look over and I see him squatting in this weird way, and then I start yelling, no, and he's just looking me dead in the eyes.

01:38:28.000 He just keeps doing it.

01:38:29.000 I had to run over and push him to make him stop, and then he runs off. 1.00

01:38:32.000 What a dick. 1.00

01:38:33.000 Really. 1.00

01:38:34.000 Literally.

01:38:34.000 Cats, man.

01:38:36.000 It's because we weren't letting him go outside because he had to go to the doctor.

01:38:38.000 We let him go outside, but then he's gone.

01:38:40.000 You can't find him to go to the doctor.

01:38:42.000 So the other day to go to the doctor, I had to go outside with a can of tuna and bang on it with a fork and then he comes running.

01:38:47.000 So we can't let him out, you know.

01:38:50.000 Apparently Bocas is constipated, so... Oh no!

01:38:52.000 Not again!

01:38:53.000 Yeah, we gotta figure it out.

01:38:53.000 Well, it's probably from all the squirrel he's been eating or something.

01:38:55.000 Yeah, he was digging into those bacons too, like, for a month.

01:38:58.000 I had to... Yeah.

01:39:00.000 ...replace... He jumped... We had to buy... ...put him in a drawer.

01:39:02.000 So one of the reasons we ran out of bacon is that Bocas jumped into the box. 0.65

01:39:05.000 Dude.

01:39:06.000 I was just digging through.

01:39:07.000 I went into the box and there were like 40 opened half-eaten bacons with eaten plastic.

01:39:12.000 I was like, what?

01:39:13.000 She's eating plastic, really.

01:39:15.000 It's probably been as good for a month.

01:39:17.000 That's what cats do. 1.00

01:39:18.000 They do.

01:39:18.000 They chew on plastic.

01:39:19.000 Weird.

01:39:20.000 I don't know what's wrong with them.

01:39:23.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:39:24.000 says, Tim, I've learned as a leader from the core to my current position, folks want to, uh, folks want to know the truths and whys of what is you ask of them.

01:39:33.000 Leadership 101.

01:39:34.000 Yet politicians fail daily with this simple ask.

01:39:37.000 Yeah, no, that's a key leadership lesson, like you, you know, being willing, not just leading like an authoritarian, like you must do X, being like, willing to explain to your subordinates why you have asked them.

01:39:46.000 When it's appropriate, obviously, sometimes there's urgency, but as a general rule, it's good to have your subordinates understand what you're trying to accomplish.

01:39:53.000 Yeah.

01:39:53.000 And why.

01:39:54.000 Earl Graham says, been watching for years now and love the show.

01:39:57.000 Today is my 33rd birthday and I wanted, and I wanted was to motorboat Luke's TIG old biddies, but sadly seems that he's been deflated.

01:40:05.000 How dare you detransition?

01:40:07.000 Well, just wait.

01:40:09.000 That's all I got to say.

01:40:10.000 And... Oh, no, no, no.

01:40:12.000 Just wait.

01:40:14.000 All right, all right.

01:40:15.000 David Scott says, I've posted numerous times.

01:40:17.000 I have no issues with notifications.

01:40:19.000 That changed today.

01:40:20.000 I changed my news seeking process throughout the day and had to go to my sub list.

01:40:24.000 Get Tony Heller on the show.

01:40:26.000 Who's that?

01:40:27.000 Don't know.

01:40:30.000 And orange sea lion says, if you only have 10%, it seems like the 10% of the time is up.

01:40:35.000 CNN, et cetera, will just use clever camera angles to keep you off the screen.

01:40:39.000 By all means, I'd love for them to try and do it.

01:40:41.000 We're still invited to the party.

01:40:43.000 So it is, but look, there's going to be all of the people there on the ground.

01:40:47.000 There's going to be all the photos taken.

01:40:49.000 And when we, we had, we've had, we had ads this summer.

01:40:53.000 There were videos on TikTok with millions of views of people dancing and our ads are in those videos.

01:40:57.000 So they can't do anything about it.

01:41:01.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:41:02.000 That's actually very funny.

01:41:05.000 That's good.

01:41:05.000 We can only do that if it's not an advertisement.

01:41:08.000 I have the high ground.

01:41:09.000 That's a good one.

01:41:10.000 That's actually very funny.

01:41:12.000 That's good.

01:41:13.000 We can only do that if it's not an advertisement.

01:41:15.000 You can, when it's, it's, it's, so if we don't include the website,

01:41:20.000 we can actually do that.

01:41:22.000 But I don't know if it's worth it.

01:41:24.000 You know, we want to get the advertising out of it, right?

01:41:27.000 It's because if you don't advertise, it's protected free speech.

01:41:30.000 If you are advertising, it's commercial, and now you could be infringing on someone's market.

01:41:33.000 Can you have like one image that's an advertisement, then it morphs into another one that says that that's not an ad?

01:41:38.000 Oh, so it's either they're all considered ads or none of them are?

01:41:41.000 The video plays for 10 seconds.

01:41:43.000 Whatever is in it is a single ad.

01:41:45.000 Even if you flicker through different images.

01:41:47.000 So, when we were doing, we did the Taylor Lorenz thing.

01:41:51.000 When we said, she docs libs of TikTok. 1.00

01:41:53.000 And they said, if you include, you know, the website or a commercial product, it's advertising and you're using someone else's likeness.

01:41:59.000 They won't allow it.

01:42:00.000 So, because we didn't, and it just said, it was quoting me, it was allowed.

01:42:07.000 So, good fun stuff. 0.98

01:42:08.000 Smokey Joe says, not trying to be a jerk, but you are not good with predictions. 0.98

01:42:12.000 And you've been on every side of Civil War predictions. 0.99

01:42:14.000 World War III will happen when I happens.

01:42:17.000 Um, I don't know.

01:42:19.000 I've gotten some predictions, and I've gotten some, uh, poorly.

01:42:22.000 Wait, you've gotten a prediction wrong?

01:42:24.000 Oh, yeah.

01:42:24.000 What do you mean?

01:42:25.000 Once?

01:42:26.000 Oh, gosh.

01:42:26.000 I get a bunch of things wrong.

01:42:27.000 I thought, like, if you prognosticated, you should never, ever get a prediction wrong.

01:42:30.000 Yeah.

01:42:30.000 And it's just, like, you have to have 100% accurate record.

01:42:32.000 Here's the thing.

01:42:33.000 That people, a lot of these people, these lefties aren't smart enough, or they probably get it, they're just lying.

01:42:39.000 If there's a video where I'm like, Trump might get a 49 state landslide, I think they're specifically referring to my Moody's Analytics review, where I was reading a news article that said there was a possibility of a Trump 49 state landslide.

01:42:52.000 Moody's was referring to, Moody's Analytics in 2019 said the economy was so strong that there was a chance that Trump could actually see like a record number of electoral votes.

01:43:02.000 And then I'm like, wow!

01:43:03.000 Like, they're actually suggesting this.

01:43:05.000 And then they act like I'm making some grand prediction because I read an economist's analysis of the, you know, of the country or something.

01:43:11.000 I don't know.

01:43:11.000 I just see it as like everybody who, you know, makes predictions gets some right and gets some wrong.

01:43:16.000 Like, I'm a lawyer and I get some legal predictions right and some legal predictions wrong.

01:43:19.000 I'm not perfect.

01:43:20.000 But also, I've gotten a ton right.

01:43:22.000 It is what it is.

01:43:23.000 You should be 50-50. 0.98

01:43:25.000 I'm sticking with my Elon's-going-to-be-forced-to-buy-Twitter prediction.

01:43:28.000 That one I've been on for three months, so watch that.

01:43:30.000 Yeah, you're the first person to say that to me.

01:43:31.000 Yeah.

01:43:33.000 Groffney says, Roberto Jr.

01:43:34.000 needs a cameo at the ball drop. 1.00

01:43:35.000 Buck, buck, buck.

01:43:36.000 I have news.

01:43:38.000 We have secured a location for a brick-and-mortar shop.

01:43:42.000 Maybe I shouldn't say what the name of it's going to be.

01:43:44.000 Well, you know what?

01:43:45.000 We wanted to name it Roberto Jr.' 's, but maybe we can't actually do that.

01:43:51.000 Why?

01:43:51.000 Do you want to talk about that on air?

01:43:54.000 I think the idea for the Brick and Mortar Shop is that it needs to be a business in and unto itself.

01:44:01.000 In and of itself.

01:44:02.000 Oh, I see.

01:44:02.000 Unique brand.

01:44:04.000 Yeah, so, you know, making it being a part of what we already do kind of defeats the purpose of creating something separate.

01:44:08.000 Yeah, that's smart.

01:44:09.000 That's why I was like, we probably can't call it Roberto Jr.'s.

01:44:12.000 Oh, well.

01:44:12.000 But I gotta admit, like, it's not like Bobby J's.

01:44:16.000 It's only a matter of time before people find out like, oh, that shop that sells, you know, bacon is Tim's or something.

01:44:21.000 You know what I mean?

01:44:22.000 So we'll see what happens.

01:44:25.000 Paul Morris says, I'm convinced Trevor Noah quit because he couldn't compete with Luke's buxom display.

01:44:31.000 Thank you very much.

01:44:33.000 Buxom. 0.53

01:44:33.000 You spelled that wrong. 0.53

01:44:35.000 It's B-U-X-O-M. 1.00

01:44:37.000 Yes.

01:44:37.000 Great spelling.

01:44:38.000 Great word, though.

01:44:39.000 It is a good word.

01:44:39.000 You knew what he was trying to say.

01:44:40.000 Yeah.

01:44:41.000 I had to think about it because it did.

01:44:42.000 It's phonetic.

01:44:43.000 Yeah.

01:44:43.000 It checks out.

01:44:46.000 Dana Virk says, everyone is too consumed with pointing fingers on who blew up the Nord Stream.

01:44:50.000 When?

01:44:52.000 What we should be focusing on is the consequences that are to come.

01:44:56.000 Yeah.

01:44:57.000 Well, some of the consequences depend on who blew it up in the first place.

01:44:59.000 True.

01:45:00.000 Like, if the Russians blew it up, I guess it doesn't mean they're gonna attack us because they blew it up.

01:45:05.000 You know, but if we did, we escalated.

01:45:07.000 So, I don't know.

01:45:08.000 It matters.

01:45:09.000 A lot.

01:45:10.000 Jason Linholm says, Tim, I will bet money that military doctrine is, if nukes are used, then retaliation is with nukes.

01:45:17.000 Yeah.

01:45:18.000 Yeah, but the issue is, if Poznan, is that how you say it?

01:45:21.000 Poznan.

01:45:21.000 Poznan gets nuked, would the U.S.

01:45:23.000 then nuke Moscow?

01:45:25.000 Well, but you have to think about how the Russians would respond, right?

01:45:28.000 Like, if the Russians actually did nuke Poznan, would they be doing so betting that we wouldn't respond with nukes? 0.65

01:45:32.000 I don't think so, given that they're in NATO.

01:45:35.000 So I think that probably we have to go through the calculation of if they nuke Poznan, like a city, we're not talking about like a military tactical nuke, but we're talking about, like, if they nuke a NATO city, they have to assume that NATO's coming back at them, which means full-scale nuclear war. 0.57

01:45:48.000 But then what do we nuke?

01:45:49.000 Do we say, okay, what's a comparable-sized city?

01:45:52.000 St.

01:45:52.000 Petersburg!

01:45:53.000 No, we don't.

01:45:54.000 Once you, you know, you don't nuke piecemeal.

01:45:57.000 You just say, okay, launch them all.

01:45:59.000 I think nukes are the wrong thing to look at, too.

01:46:01.000 You think that in 80 years we haven't come up with any other kinds of weapons?

01:46:04.000 I honestly don't think anybody's going to break the seal, because the logic I'm describing is not novel.

01:46:11.000 I'm sure both Russians and us have doctrine on the use of nuclear weapons and essentially what it looks like in particular situations, which is why I don't think anybody's going to use them.

01:46:23.000 You think so?

01:46:24.000 Well, let's see who's right.

01:46:25.000 We're talking about predictions.

01:46:26.000 Oh man, I hope you are!

01:46:28.000 I don't see a nuclear strike coming.

01:46:30.000 I think Russia's going to threaten to use nuclear weapons, but I think it's first going to declare a full all-out war, and I think it's really going to put the hammer down on Ukraine, on its infrastructure, and I think, hopefully, if we're lucky, it ends there. 0.86

01:46:43.000 Why would Russia just be like, well, we're getting crushed on every front. 1.00

01:46:48.000 I surrender.

01:46:48.000 Because they already have the land they need.

01:46:50.000 They have the freeways to Crimea.

01:46:51.000 No, no, no.

01:46:54.000 I'm saying if they lose that.

01:46:55.000 If they lose that, they'll try to take it back.

01:46:58.000 Okay.

01:46:58.000 Ukraine's already pushed through in many of these territories.

01:47:01.000 They don't even control these four regions.

01:47:04.000 They've now made them part of Russia, in their eyes, so how could they not defend it? 0.99

01:47:09.000 If their ground troops are routed, and their machinery is routed, would Russia just be like, guess we lost! 0.84

01:47:15.000 That land that I claimed was ours, we won't defend!

01:47:17.000 Or is he gonna be like, tactical nukes, nuclear artillery?

01:47:22.000 Geez, I don't know if you need to go that far.

01:47:23.000 He's already rained incendiary bombs down on some of these cities.

01:47:27.000 I mean, one thing, though, is that Putin has been trying to do the Ukraine war on the cheap, right?

01:47:33.000 Just by the sheer number.

01:47:34.000 He hasn't used many troops.

01:47:36.000 That's one of the reasons that Ukraine was able to make that big advance in the Kharkov region is because it was just a very thin Russian line.

01:47:43.000 And it's also why he's done the partial mobilization now to bring in almost 1.5x the total military commitment in Ukraine.

01:47:52.000 Like, that's also another reason I don't think we're doing this.

01:47:54.000 I think we're a long way down the escalatory ladder from the use of nuclear weapons in terms of, I mean, Ukraine, you know, Russia's going to try and, you know, consolidate its victory, you know, consolidate its territorial gains with this new troop movement and maybe, I don't know, maybe try and move on Kiev.

01:48:11.000 Jim Pop says you guys are missing the issue.

01:48:13.000 Biden announced the U.S.

01:48:14.000 will send divers to Nordstrom.

01:48:16.000 Really?

01:48:16.000 Are they going to be picking up books?

01:48:18.000 Well, where does Nordstrom sell clothes?

01:48:20.000 Clothes, yeah.

01:48:21.000 Russia owns the Nordstrom lines.

01:48:23.000 I don't think Russia owns Nordstrom.

01:48:24.000 I think it's an American company, isn't it?

01:48:25.000 No.

01:48:26.000 I know what you mean.

01:48:27.000 I'm just poking fun.

01:48:28.000 Jim Pop means the U.S.

01:48:29.000 is going to be sending divers to Nordstream.

01:48:31.000 Russia owns the Nordstream lines.

01:48:33.000 We are going to get into a shoving match if we touch that pipeline.

01:48:36.000 Possibly.

01:48:37.000 Russia might be like, back off. 0.58

01:48:38.000 Get your troops out of here.

01:48:39.000 This is our line.

01:48:41.000 That's interesting.

01:48:41.000 thing. Alexander Cross says the correct way to survive a nuclear attack is either A, find the

01:48:46.000 bomb site and sit on it, or B, get far enough outside the blast as you can. You get caught in

01:48:52.000 the blast, have a revolver handy in case. Well, that's if you're caught in the thermal burn radius.

01:48:57.000 So depending on where you are, if you see an ICBM coming down or warhead dropping,

01:49:04.000 if you're close to it, your best bet is to run towards it because then you

01:49:08.000 you vaporize instantly and you don't suffer.

01:49:10.000 But if you're in the thermal wave, you're gonna be like screaming in agony as your skin is melting and then you slowly die, so.

01:49:17.000 And then if, depending on the weapon they use, if it's got a radioactive radius or fallout, oh, man.

01:49:24.000 I wonder if, like, when- Truly horrifying things.

01:49:26.000 Sarin's worse. 1.00

01:49:26.000 Sarin gas is way worse. 1.00

01:49:28.000 If when a human dies, it's forced to watch the evolution of the species in fast forward after the moment they die.

01:49:34.000 And you, like, see all the things that you did in life, how it affected everything.

01:49:37.000 And because of you and your actions, whether for good or evil, you caused this to happen.

01:49:42.000 And here's how you caused it.

01:49:43.000 And you just get to see it all and be like, The regret, the amount of hell that you would burn in if you didn't do what you knew you could have done in life.

01:49:50.000 So take advantage of it while you're here.

01:49:52.000 What happens is you wake up in like a carnival and there's a carnival barker and he's yelling and he shows you a chart that has all of the different probabilistic branches of your life and they're playing circus music and dancing as they do it.

01:50:06.000 And then you're just like, huh, so I would've been an astronaut if I went to school on that one day.

01:50:11.000 If I didn't call in sick, I would've been a race car driver?

01:50:13.000 Man.

01:50:15.000 Who would have thought that coming?

01:50:16.000 Contingencies.

01:50:17.000 I mean, this is the crazy thing.

01:50:18.000 Like, if they really... I obviously don't think that really happens, but if that were possible, you could look at someone's life and be like, if when you were seven years old, you didn't pick up that quarter, you would not have been on Timcast IRL, you would have actually been in the Amazon building sustainable huts.

01:50:33.000 And it's like, wow, that one quarter was- I love- that's chaos theory.

01:50:36.000 I love that stuff.

01:50:37.000 Well, it's because you picked the quarter up, which brought you to another point where it's like you could buy the bag of chips or not.

01:50:41.000 You bought the bag of chips, and then you gave it to someone.

01:50:43.000 That person became your friend.

01:50:44.000 They introduced you, and then it creates this huge pathway that just that quarter- It's amazing one conversation can change your entire life.

01:50:50.000 Yeah.

01:50:51.000 Tommy Groshong says, Ian is on fire tonight!

01:50:53.000 Well done, good sir.

01:50:55.000 And then he says a word I can't, uh, I can't read.

01:50:57.000 Cyrillic?

01:50:58.000 Yes.

01:50:59.000 All right.

01:50:59.000 There, right there.

01:51:01.000 Where is it?

01:51:02.000 It says, um, mono-au.

01:51:04.000 Mono-au.

01:51:07.000 Molo.

01:51:08.000 Ah, it's far away.

01:51:09.000 I'm not able to see it.

01:51:10.000 Molo.

01:51:11.000 That's an L. That L is the curvy little N looking thing. 1.00

01:51:15.000 Molo de.

01:51:17.000 Molo de.

01:51:19.000 I can't read that last letter.

01:51:21.000 Also nice to see Luke again.

01:51:22.000 Will too.

01:51:23.000 It's too bad.

01:51:24.000 It's an upside down U. No way.

01:51:26.000 It's a regular up.

01:51:27.000 It's a regular U, but it's got a thing hanging from it.

01:51:31.000 I don't know how you pronounce that.

01:51:34.000 Maybe it's not an English word.

01:51:35.000 I think.

01:51:36.000 Oh, interesting.

01:51:37.000 What was that?

01:51:37.000 How do you say that?

01:51:41.000 Oh, the huntsman.net says, I wrote a song about the persecution of conservatives using themes from Solzhenitsyn.

01:51:48.000 The huntsman is free to listen on my site.

01:51:50.000 Cool.

01:51:51.000 That's cool.

01:51:53.000 Hunter says rods from God cost too much to use.

01:51:57.000 What does that mean, too much?

01:51:59.000 Yeah.

01:51:59.000 It's hard to get that much tungsten out of space?

01:52:02.000 I think that you're right about, it's called kinetic bombardment.

01:52:04.000 It doesn't have to be tungsten.

01:52:06.000 Yeah.

01:52:06.000 Tinhead says we don't have rods from God because the tungsten rods are too heavy to send up.

01:52:10.000 That and the rockets would have to be so massive that they wouldn't get off the ground with our current technology.

01:52:16.000 Maybe we have better technology.

01:52:17.000 How do you know?

01:52:18.000 One rod at a time, you know.

01:52:20.000 What if we have anti-grav and we just snap our fingers and then it floats right up?

01:52:23.000 Mm-hmm.

01:52:24.000 Who knows?

01:52:27.000 All right, where are we in the ol' zribagets?

01:52:30.000 Mexicali says, you're not my dad, Ian.

01:52:32.000 I won't get in the van.

01:52:34.000 You do what you think is right, but don't panic.

01:52:36.000 That's for sure.

01:52:36.000 How did Ian avoid the van with candy when he was five?

01:52:39.000 Did his parents have to have him on a lead strap?

01:52:42.000 He does whatever he is told by anyone.

01:52:45.000 That's a funny assumption.

01:52:46.000 Were you on strings?

01:52:47.000 No, I'm actually very confrontational and don't like being told what to do.

01:52:51.000 Bobcat says, Elon Musk is going to win.

01:52:53.000 like unleashes sometimes. I see parents do that. I would have been punished completely.

01:52:57.000 My parents would have punished me like, God came down and smoked me with lightning if

01:53:01.000 I had done something like that. Smoke. Bobcat says Elon Musk is going to win. Twitter is

01:53:06.000 in clear breach of contract and that's before you even get into Twitter's Epstein-ish content

01:53:11.000 problem. Will?

01:53:14.000 No.

01:53:16.000 That's wrong.

01:53:18.000 Twitter did not breach its contract.

01:53:19.000 What are you, some kind of lawyer?

01:53:20.000 Yeah, what am I, some kind of lawyer?

01:53:22.000 Smarty pants over here? 1.00

01:53:24.000 You need to read the merger agreement, bro.

01:53:26.000 Like, it's not... There's a reason Elon talked about how seller-friendly the merger agreement was when he signed it to get Twitter to agree to sell him the company, right?

01:53:34.000 And all this stuff he wanted about the bots.

01:53:36.000 Like, here's the big winner, and this is to understand it.

01:53:39.000 In order to be able to terminate the deal, Elon cannot himself be in breach of the contract, right?

01:53:45.000 That was part of the deal.

01:53:46.000 And there's a clause that says Elon had to use his best efforts to consummate the merger.

01:53:51.000 That's how that works, right?

01:53:52.000 When you sign a merger agreement, basically what you're saying is, I will do everything I can to get this over the line, get the regulatory approvals.

01:53:57.000 etc. So they have text messages of Elon saying, hey, let's slow this down. Wouldn't be smart to

01:54:02.000 buy Twitter if we if World War Three is coming after the merger agreement is signed. That's

01:54:07.000 breach. He won't doesn't matter what Twitter said or what Twitter did. Elon can't terminate like

01:54:11.000 it's there's so many ways in which this is GG for you. You know, Twitter is going to win this lawsuit.

01:54:17.000 But I don't want Elon to win. I want you. I mean, yes, actually, no, you're right. Exactly. I don't

01:54:22.000 I want Elon to be forced to buy Twitter.

01:54:26.000 That would be much better for us than the current management.

01:54:28.000 So it's like we should be rooting for Twitter right now to win so that Elon ends up taking it and fixing it.

01:54:32.000 Exactly.

01:54:34.000 This isn't actually a close question.

01:54:37.000 There's a reason that the Twitter stock price has been jumping since Elon announced his quote-unquote termination.

01:54:43.000 It's because most analysts have realized that Elon's probably going to lose.

01:54:46.000 Thor says, if World War 3 kicks off, are you worried about getting drafted, Tim?

01:54:49.000 No, I'm 36.

01:54:50.000 It's gonna be the 18-year-olds fighting this war, as per usual.

01:54:54.000 Yeah, I'm old.

01:54:55.000 Well, you know, a lot of the 18-year-olds don't have a lot of testosterone and don't have a lot of muscle mass.

01:55:02.000 And if you look at the conscripts in Russia, a lot of them are on the older side.

01:55:07.000 So, it depends on how desperate the situation is.

01:55:10.000 I do see the future wars being fought with robots, but with enlistment at an all-time low, I do see, yeah, 30, 30-year-olds, 40-year-olds possibly even being drafted if there's a potential crazy situation.

01:55:23.000 Ashboro says power is out here in North Carolina generator is going and my awesome wife who I love dearly is half

01:55:29.000 asleep leaning against Me not a bad way to end the night man. That's crazy

01:55:32.000 hurricane Ian Crosses over Florida just wreaking havoc and then curves

01:55:37.000 and goes back into South Carolina That is brutal when I was meditating on it

01:55:41.000 I was like I'm gonna disperse this this thing and then so I tried to

01:55:44.000 visualize moving the wind in the opposite direction to make it push to a standstill and then

01:55:49.000 Vacuuming out that center. I are hitting it with lightning or something just charging it or deep discharging it and it

01:55:54.000 stopped I was watching the the radar and it's paused for a moment

01:55:59.000 But I wonder if I just pulled it back like a slingshot by doing that not committed

01:56:02.000 You see what happened was it was crossing here's Florida and it's crossing over and then you were like go the other

01:56:08.000 way go the other It's brutal stuff, man.

01:56:09.000 back in its South Carolina. It was right before it made landfall in Florida. You can see for

01:56:12.000 a moment right before it hits it stops and starts to go west and you're like, whoa, did

01:56:15.000 we just avert catastrophe and then it goes in hard and then it comes back around like

01:56:19.000 a boomerang. Wicked. It's brutal stuff, man. It is unfortunate. David Troutman says never

01:56:27.000 got a response from my emails about building the Tim Caster guitar.

01:56:31.000 Ready to buy these meteorite pieces and dragon scales.

01:56:33.000 Gotta replace the fender behind you.

01:56:35.000 Uh, yes!

01:56:38.000 Send an email to... I don't know.

01:56:41.000 I have an email on the website.

01:56:42.000 So go to the website and you can look up my email.

01:56:44.000 There you go.

01:56:45.000 Easiest way to do it.

01:56:46.000 And then email me about it.

01:56:48.000 STL phone picture says your cat isn't drinking enough water.

01:56:51.000 That's his problem.

01:56:52.000 He's got more than enough water.

01:56:54.000 Not only do we have numerous little water things for him, we have two water fountains that filter the water, and then we even turn the sink on for him.

01:57:02.000 Cats don't really like drinking water.

01:57:03.000 That's the thing about cats.

01:57:05.000 They don't actually need that much moisture, and they like to get it from their food.

01:57:09.000 We give him all of the best possible food, and instead he just wants to eat squirrel.

01:57:14.000 Right, because it's moist.

01:57:16.000 No, we give him the moist crazy stuff.

01:57:17.000 Oh, you give him the canned food?

01:57:19.000 We have fancy canned shreds.

01:57:20.000 We have all the different food and we're like, which one do you want?

01:57:24.000 And then he looks at you and he goes, and then you're like, I don't know what that means!

01:57:28.000 And then he goes outside and he gets a squirrel! 0.98

01:57:31.000 It was funny because he was eating baby bunnies for a while, and we were making fun of him because we were like, it's so pathetic. 0.98

01:57:37.000 It's like, you're an adult cat. 0.98

01:57:38.000 He's working up to it, okay.

01:57:40.000 Well, he still can't catch an adult bunny, but he got squirrels, so.

01:57:43.000 But you're not, like, nothing we can do about it, he's not supposed to, but that's who he is.

01:57:47.000 He's a little predator, he just wants to kill, you know? 0.99

01:57:50.000 It's in him. 0.86

01:57:51.000 Oh, cats are predators, hardcore.

01:57:53.000 We didn't let him outside for a while and the vet was like, don't, tics, all that other stuff.

01:57:58.000 And he was obviously depressed.

01:58:00.000 He would just lay and sleep all day.

01:58:01.000 He was getting fat and he was just groaning.

01:58:04.000 And then we were like, this is no way to live.

01:58:06.000 You know, it's like, maybe his life will be more dangerous, but that's life.

01:58:10.000 So now we let him go outside and now he's a happy little, little jag off.

01:58:14.000 Monster. 0.62

01:58:14.000 When we don't let him outside, he pisses on the floor. 0.62

01:58:17.000 So he's, he's figured it out. 1.00

01:58:18.000 Those damn taxoplasmy spreaders. 1.00

01:58:21.000 Taxoplasmosis. 1.00

01:58:25.000 What do we got?

01:58:26.000 Tim McDonough says, just finished watching Hocus Pocus 2.

01:58:29.000 Here's the breakdown.

01:58:30.000 One trans adult, one trans kid, five drag queens, one gay interracial couple, one patriarchy reference.

01:58:36.000 I still don't know what the movie's about.

01:58:37.000 Hocus Pocus?

01:58:39.000 Well, yeah.

01:58:39.000 You've never seen the first one?

01:58:40.000 No, that Bette Midler movie?

01:58:41.000 Yeah.

01:58:42.000 Oh, God.

01:58:44.000 No.

01:58:44.000 I'm good.

01:58:45.000 No, is it good?

01:58:46.000 No, but millennials are nostalgic, so they pretend like it is. 0.75

01:58:49.000 Oh, okay.

01:58:50.000 Yeah.

01:58:51.000 And Bette's all right.

01:58:52.000 She's a good actor.

01:58:53.000 It's like the witches want to live forever, so they have to eat a kid, I think.

01:58:57.000 Oh.

01:58:57.000 Is that what it is?

01:58:58.000 They eat the kid?

01:58:58.000 I have no idea.

01:58:59.000 But it was campy?

01:58:59.000 Was it like a, like a Disney movie?

01:59:01.000 Yeah.

01:59:02.000 So they didn't want to really eat the kid?

01:59:04.000 Like, he wasn't like, aah!

01:59:05.000 Ripping him open or anything like that?

01:59:07.000 They turn the kid's brother into a cat, but the cat's immortal.

01:59:10.000 So like, whenever the cat gets run over, it just, it reinflates or something.

01:59:13.000 Oh.

01:59:14.000 Brutal.

01:59:15.000 Yeah.

01:59:15.000 And it can speak English for some reason.

01:59:17.000 Like the witches turns a cat, a person to a cat, but like lets them still speak English for whatever reason.

01:59:22.000 Okay.

01:59:24.000 I don't know.

01:59:25.000 I guess people like it, whatever.

01:59:26.000 I don't think I'm going to watch the, uh, I don't think I'm going to watch that movie.

01:59:31.000 Jeff, the handyman says gas is back up to $5.25 in Washington.

01:59:34.000 Well, congratulations, Washington.

01:59:36.000 You already put yourself $8.60, $8.80 or something in California.

01:59:40.000 You guys see that picture?

01:59:41.000 Is that real?

01:59:42.000 That's right.

01:59:45.000 What do we got?

01:59:45.000 I mean, some of those things we just don't know for sure, right?

01:59:48.000 So, figure it out, I guess.

01:59:49.000 going on since 2019.

01:59:50.000 Hack of solar wind under Trump administration, China 2020 release of COVID, funding BLM rights,

01:59:55.000 fentanyl, illegal immigrants, buying and sitting in farmland. 0.99

01:59:58.000 I mean, some of those things we just don't know for sure.

02:00:02.000 Right?

02:00:03.000 So, figure it out, I guess.

02:00:05.000 I don't think, yeah, the China COVID stuff, I don't think was an intentional release.

02:00:11.000 Lab leak makes sense, because I don't think you'd have seen U.S.

02:00:14.000 interests and China working together if they were at war with each other.

02:00:17.000 No, lab leak makes sense.

02:00:18.000 It's also why our, you know, why did we poo-poo lab leak so much? 0.97

02:00:21.000 Because our government was implicated in that too.

02:00:23.000 I don't believe in accidents and incompetencies when there's so much criminality out there.

02:00:27.000 Yeah, that's like a fundamental difference between you and I. Yes.

02:00:30.000 You believe in, you attribute to malice what I attribute to stupidity. 1.00

02:00:35.000 Exactly. 1.00

02:00:36.000 And we both could be right.

02:00:38.000 You're not too old to be drafted.

02:00:40.000 I am, unless they increase the drafting age like they did in Russia, so that's a possibility, but I'm still not worried about it.

02:00:49.000 I just, I just, I'm not worried about it.

02:00:51.000 I think if it came to the point, that point, it would just be absolute breakdown and chaos in the United States.

02:00:57.000 The political system in this country is so broken as it is, I just don't see that happening.

02:01:40.000 There was a big, I mean we didn't really talk about it because I didn't mention it and or bring it up before the show, but you know there's a big antitrust bill yesterday that passed and should have gotten a lot more Republican votes.

02:01:49.000 You only got like 39, but IAP's been pushing for it.

02:01:51.000 Heritage has been pushing for it, so lots of good stuff for Big Tech on the, or bad stuff for Big Tech, good stuff for us on the horizon.

02:02:03.000 LukeUncensored.com is my website.

02:02:06.000 I did a very interesting video on the larger agenda yesterday.

02:02:31.000 It's actually very interesting when you start to learn something that a lot of people on Earth already know.

02:02:36.000 It feels like you're coming home.

02:02:38.000 There's a sense of like you're supposed to know it.

02:02:40.000 It makes a lot of sense.

02:02:41.000 You understand why people think the way they think all of a sudden.

02:02:45.000 And it's a very awesome feeling.

02:02:46.000 I hope that you get a chance to do that and take care of yourself this weekend.

02:02:51.000 For sure.
