Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - US CONFIRMS BioLabs In Ukraine, Fear Russian Could Seize Them w-Greg Price

00:00:02.000 Speaking before the Senate, Victoria Nuland confirmed there are biolabs in Ukraine, and that the U.S.

00:00:09.000 is concerned Russia may seize them, and that the U.S.

00:00:13.000 is working with Ukraine to figure out what to do with these biolabs. 1.00

00:00:17.000 Now, of course, we've been getting an endless stream of media claiming it's all a big conspiracy theory, and these fact-checkers do something interesting.

00:00:23.000 They fact check an extreme version of the story.

00:00:27.000 So you see this meme going around saying that Russia was striking U.S.

00:00:31.000 biolabs and say, oh, it's all fake. 0.53

00:00:33.000 It's all fake.

00:00:34.000 That way, when someone says, oh, but Ukraine does have biolabs, people assume it's the same story and they're actually quite different.

00:00:40.000 So we will take our time.

00:00:42.000 Debunking the actual fake news and showing you this testimony about actual bio labs in Ukraine, I think is significant.

00:00:50.000 Because if we're trying to understand how to end this conflict with peace and negotiations, diplomacy, we kind of need to know what the complaints are from the people who invaded.

00:00:59.000 Granted, I think Putin is in the wrong completely.

00:01:02.000 He invaded, but it makes sense to understand the full context of the story.

00:01:06.000 So we're gonna do that.

00:01:07.000 Joe Biden, He's banned oil and all energy imports from Russia.

00:01:11.000 Gas has set a new record high, and everyone's basically saying it's going to get a whole lot worse.

00:01:16.000 And Stephen Colbert says, what's a couple bucks for a clean conscience?

00:01:20.000 A couple bucks per gallon, that is.

00:01:21.000 So, for all of you who have to commute to work, and don't make that much money, maybe you're making 15 bucks an hour, congratulations.

00:01:27.000 It's going to cost twice as much to fill up the gas tank, but it's okay.

00:01:30.000 You'll have a clean conscience.

00:01:33.000 So we're gonna talk about all that stuff.

00:01:34.000 We also got the Parental Rights and Education Bill in Florida passing.

00:01:37.000 Democrats call that the Don't Say Gay Bill, which is a complete and total lie in fabrication, because the bill has barely anything to do with that subject matter.

00:01:45.000 It's funny.

00:01:46.000 The bill mostly is like, if a kid has any kind of medical issue, the parents have to be told.

00:01:51.000 And that's basically it.

00:01:53.000 It's like, things that happen in school, parents need to be told about it. 0.59

00:01:57.000 And so now all of a sudden, Democrats are marching around saying gay over and over again.

00:02:00.000 It's kind of weird.

00:02:01.000 But we'll get into that.

00:02:02.000 Joining us to discuss these issues today is Greg Price.

00:02:04.000 How's it going, man?

00:02:05.000 Good, it's good to be back on.

00:02:07.000 I'm Greg Price.

00:02:09.000 I'm with a company called X-Strategies LLC.

00:02:12.000 We are advisors and digital strategists for a bunch of conservative politicians and non-profits and super PACs, and we work to elect America First candidates and unelect the RINOs.

00:02:24.000 The CEO of our company today had to testify before the sham January 6th committee.

00:02:29.000 Shout out to Alex Brusiewicz for having to suffer through that today, too.

00:02:32.000 Yeah, and Enrique Tarrio got arrested.

00:02:35.000 For a conspiracy on January 6th, even though he wasn't there.

00:02:35.000 Yeah, he did.

00:02:39.000 They're claiming that he was involved in planning or something.

00:02:42.000 Well, yeah, that's the thing.

00:02:43.000 They're hauling people before this committee who had nothing to do with the riot at the Capitol, and they're trying to simply criminalize everyone that supported President Trump.

00:02:52.000 On average, a response to the subpoena for the January 6th committee costs $100,000.

00:02:57.000 Yeah, they're wasting your tax dollars.

00:02:59.000 No, no, no.

00:03:00.000 Your money.

00:03:01.000 You need to hire a lawyer and spend $100,000 of your personal money to answer the subpoena.

00:03:06.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:03:07.000 Alex had to do that.

00:03:09.000 And it's been really terrible for him.

00:03:11.000 And that's what they're doing.

00:03:12.000 They're just going after all of these people that had nothing to do with it, but simply supported Donald Trump.

00:03:16.000 I also forgot to mention McDonald's is shutting down over 800 locations in Russia, too.

00:03:21.000 Golden Arches Theory, too.

00:03:22.000 Because they know two countries that have a McDonald's won't go to war with each other.

00:03:26.000 It's a fact.

00:03:27.000 No, that's why they're doing it.

00:03:28.000 It's a fact.

00:03:29.000 It's a fact.

00:03:30.000 Seamus Coghlan of Freedom Tunes, by the way, happy to be here.

00:03:33.000 Uploaded a new cartoon today about our military preparing for World War III and the LGBTQ diversity policies.

00:03:40.000 I think you guys might enjoy it if you want to go check that out.

00:03:43.000 Yeah, I was just looking at average California gas prices now.

00:03:43.000 Thank you very much.

00:03:46.000 We're $5 a gallon from LA Times with an image of a $6.30 Gas, so like you could have said it was over $6.

00:03:51.000 It's just the way that they're framing the media.

00:03:54.000 It's $7 in LA.

00:03:55.000 I saw $7.60 for one image.

00:03:57.000 But their consciences are really clean.

00:03:59.000 Yeah.

00:04:00.000 Yeah, for now.

00:04:01.000 I think people don't realize that vehicles in California run on good intentions.

00:04:07.000 Yeah.

00:04:09.000 I'm sure Colbert's conscience is going to be really clean when food becomes all but entirely unaffordable for poor people because gas prices have gone up and it's more difficult to get food to grocery stores.

00:04:21.000 People don't realize this is why they virtue signal so much, so they can power their vehicles.

00:04:27.000 When you pay...

00:04:28.000 The word motion is in the word emotion.

00:04:29.000 When you're...

00:04:30.000 Emotion.

00:04:31.000 He is right.

00:04:32.000 He cracked the code.

00:04:33.000 When you're paying $70 for a tank of gas and your grocery bill goes up by $1,000 a month,

00:04:38.000 all you need to do is think to yourself, at least we're helping Ukraine.

00:04:41.000 Yes.

00:04:42.000 That's what it's all about, man.

00:04:44.000 We got Lydia pressing the buttons. 0.95

00:04:45.000 I'm also here in the corner.

00:04:46.000 I'm excited for tonight's conversation because I spent most of the day very upset about the price of gas.

00:04:50.000 I saw that it went up 8 cents a gallon overnight in Colorado and it hit a new record here as well.

00:04:56.000 So hopefully I'll be able to keep calm and we'll be able to make some good progress tonight.

00:05:30.000 And let's jump into the first story.

00:05:32.000 It is but a tweet from Glenn Greenwald, who says, Ukraine has biological research facilities, says Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland.

00:05:41.000 When asked by Senator Rubio if Ukraine has biological or chemical weapons, Well, I only have a minute left.

00:05:46.000 Russia may get them, but set, but she says she's 100% sure that if there's a biological 0.97

00:05:52.000 attack, it's Russia. 0.69

00:05:54.000 And actually Marco Rubio intervened in her, in her, uh, her answer to answer for her.

00:06:01.000 And it is one of the most disgusting things.

00:06:04.000 Marco Rubio, man, talk about a bad person, but let me play for you this clip because 0.51

00:06:08.000 this is truly revealing.

00:06:10.000 Well, um, I only have a minute left.

00:06:12.000 Let me ask you.

00:06:14.000 Does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?

00:06:20.000 Ukraine has biological research facilities, which in fact we are now quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of.

00:06:37.000 So we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of I'm sure you're aware that the Russian propaganda groups are already putting out there all kinds of information about how they've uncovered a plot by the Ukrainians to release biological weapons in the country and with NATO's coordination.

00:07:02.000 If there's a biological or chemical weapon incident or attack inside of Ukraine, is there any doubt in your mind that 100% it would be the Russians that would be behind it? 0.97

00:07:11.000 There is no doubt in my mind, Senator, and it is classic Russian technique to blame on the other guy what they're planning to do themselves. 0.99

00:07:22.000 Wow.

00:07:23.000 If there was anything that could remove all confidence I had in what Victoria Nuland was saying, it's Marco Rubio teeing up the answer to her.

00:07:32.000 Of course, if there is an attack, it's Russia, right? 0.69

00:07:33.000 You agree it's Russia? 0.73

00:07:34.000 Yes.

00:07:35.000 Okay, then.

00:07:36.000 Yo, just let her answer the questions. 1.00

00:07:38.000 But I digress.

00:07:39.000 Here we have Undersecretary of State saying, well, there's biolabs in Ukraine and we're concerned Russia could get them. 0.99

00:07:47.000 Now, let's just put aside anything outside of this because there were conspiracies.

00:07:50.000 I don't want to have anything outside of that.

00:07:51.000 Let me just say, Is it a serious concern for us in the United States that Ukraine has bio labs? 1.00

00:07:58.000 What are they researching?

00:07:59.000 I don't know.

00:08:00.000 What if Russia gets a hold of them?

00:08:02.000 Is there something there that we should be concerned about?

00:08:04.000 Is this maybe why Vladimir Putin says I'm going into Ukraine?

00:08:07.000 Because that was what a lot of people were saying.

00:08:10.000 Now, that's not a conspiracy theory.

00:08:11.000 If you are speculating that the motive of Vladimir Putin was to gain access to research facilities, I'd say that's war.

00:08:17.000 Like, if you have a military base and another country invades to gain control of that base, I'd be like, okay.

00:08:23.000 So is that maybe what we're looking at?

00:08:25.000 Well, I just want to mention something about Secretary of State Newland here.

00:08:28.000 She's a very interesting figure.

00:08:30.000 So one thing that she mentioned in 2013 is that the United States government had spent over $5 billion trying to promote democracy in Ukraine, and there was a leaked phone call between her and America's ambassador.

00:08:44.000 to Europe, where she was discussing who she thought would be a good leader for Ukraine.

00:08:50.000 And wouldn't you know, it just happens by coincidence, a couple weeks later, that person becomes prime minister.

00:08:57.000 And yeah, and so we talk about how Russia spending 46, and not even Russia, non-state actors in Russia spending $46,000 on Facebook ads was a quote-unquote act of war.

00:09:09.000 And the United States government has thrown literal billions of dollars at Ukraine to influence their leadership.

00:09:15.000 This woman was on the phone, on record, saying there was a specific person she wanted in charge of government there.

00:09:21.000 That person ends up in that position weeks later, and I'm supposed to trust this person, that they have the best interest of that nation in mind, and that she's going to tell me about Russia's nefarious deeds.

00:09:34.000 The CIA just overthrew... I mean, they were part of a coup when they put in Poroshenko, and yeah, I mean, that's just on the table now.

00:09:41.000 2014?

00:09:41.000 Everything I look at says there's overwhelming evidence the United States... Now that we've accepted that the CIA has been involved with the overthrow, and I'm like, is there evidence that says that it's... Well, we need... That's not... So it's not?

00:09:54.000 Every time I ask it, they're like, yeah, it's totally, totally confirmed.

00:09:56.000 To who?

00:09:57.000 To who?

00:09:57.000 You on the show, like last week, we talked about it.

00:09:59.000 No, no, it was heavily speculated.

00:10:01.000 First of all, there were major protests in Ukraine.

00:10:03.000 It is widely speculated, believed, the West was... Well, first of all, it's a fact.

00:10:06.000 The West was very much supporting the Euromaidan protests.

00:10:09.000 That doesn't mean the U.S.

00:10:10.000 made Yanukovych flee.

00:10:12.000 There's a big difference between the CIA actually having agents and assets going in and doing these things, Now that being said, I would not be surprised in any sense that the CIA did this.

00:10:24.000 I want to be very, very careful and precise because we're dealing with the fact that the undersecretary just said there are biolabs.

00:10:32.000 Okay, let's start from there.

00:10:34.000 Is Russia pissed about that?

00:10:35.000 Very well, maybe.

00:10:36.000 Now we have this story from USA Today.

00:10:38.000 This is why getting the fact perfect is important.

00:10:41.000 They say, fact check.

00:10:42.000 False claim of U.S.

00:10:43.000 biolabs in Ukraine tied to Russian disinformation campaign.

00:10:49.000 So right there you have interesting points.

00:10:51.000 U.S.

00:10:51.000 biolabs.

00:10:52.000 Okay.

00:10:53.000 Well, they're Ukrainian according to Victoria Newland.

00:10:57.000 She said Ukraine has biolabs.

00:10:59.000 So you see how they do this.

00:11:00.000 They slap U.S. 0.71

00:11:02.000 biolabs in front of biolabs and all of a sudden the whole story's fake.

00:11:05.000 Yeah, so yeah, exactly.

00:11:06.000 They fact-check a different story than the one that's actually being discussed, and then anytime the story comes up, they get to slap false on it.

00:11:11.000 So here's what they say.

00:11:12.000 The claim.

00:11:13.000 There are biolabs in Ukraine funded by the U.S. 0.79

00:11:15.000 government.

00:11:16.000 Now, I will say, we read on this show a U.S.

00:11:19.000 government site talking about U.S.-funded research and biolabs in Ukraine, so I don't know what that was all about.

00:11:24.000 They say in the early morning hours, Putin launched a full-scale military, blah, blah, blah.

00:11:28.000 Similar posts claimed Russia destroyed seven of the 11 supposed labs in missile strikes.

00:11:32.000 The claims are wrong.

00:11:34.000 independent fact-checking outlets reported. I actually don't think those claims are true,

00:11:38.000 to be honest, because we looked at the map of missile strikes and the map of labs and they

00:11:41.000 don't line up. It's like weird that people would make that claim when all you need to do is say,

00:11:46.000 Putin's mad about labs. He's probably blown up stuff near the lab so that he can take the labs.

00:11:50.000 I would, yeah, I would assume Russia wants the bio labs, as Newland actually said in

00:11:55.000 front of Marco Rubio regarding Russia would seize them.

00:11:58.000 If it's war or not, I think historically you see border skirmishes that aren't considered war.

00:12:03.000 Like if an enemy is setting up artillery on the other side of the border from your country, you may send in a party to destroy the artillery and then come back.

00:12:11.000 And it's not really an act of war, it's more of just like...

00:12:14.000 Or sometimes they'd go in and they'd steal food from like the enemy, but it wasn't really war.

00:12:17.000 You ready for this part of the same article?

00:12:19.000 Oh, yeah, the same article says the ukrainian and u.s.

00:12:22.000 Government's partnered in august 2005 to prevent the proliferation of dangerous pathogens and related

00:12:26.000 expertise and to minimize potential biological threats according to the treaty

00:12:30.000 Interfax ukraine reported in may 2020 that part of the agreement was aimed at modernizing state laboratories in

00:12:35.000 the odessa karkiv laviv kiev venice venustia kursan and 0.63

00:12:40.000 Dnipropetrovsk regions i'm trying those efforts included making repairs updating equipment and purchasing supplies

00:12:48.000 The security service of ukraine to the laboratories financed from the state budget are subordinate to the ministry of

00:12:53.000 health and the state services on food safety and consumer protection according to interfax

00:12:57.000 ukraine The u.s. Embassy in ukraine sought to set the record

00:13:00.000 straight on these biolabs claim In April 2020, calling the theories disinformation spreading in some circles in Ukraine that mirrors Russian disinformation regarding the strong U.S.-Ukrainian partnership to reduce biological threats.

00:13:11.000 It sure sounds like they're trying really hard to claim that although the U.S.

00:13:15.000 did partner and help Ukraine with a lot of the work they were doing in certain biological areas, these are not U.S.

00:13:21.000 biolabs.

00:13:22.000 Okay, well, no, that's true.

00:13:23.000 They're Ukrainian.

00:13:23.000 They're not.

00:13:24.000 But is the U.S.

00:13:25.000 I'd sure like to know.

00:13:25.000 involved?

00:13:26.000 Well, usually they hire a company like EcoHealth Alliance to get involved for them so that they can wipe their hands of it.

00:13:32.000 Well yeah what's with our country and like funding all of this insane biological research around the globe as you know we saw with the the Wuhan lab too and I think you know this goes back to I you know the way this war has been presented to us in the media is that you know Ukraine is the good guys who can do no wrong and everything we have to take the government of Ukraine's word over Over anything else and as we've seen we've been fed so many so many lies as this war has happened between you know Imminent nuclear meltdown that turned out to be false as Zelensky was calling for a no-fly zone I think it just goes back when you're in a war Propaganda is very important and propaganda to help your side win is very important and a lot of that is being 0.60

00:14:10.000 A lot of that is just being fed to us by our media.

00:14:12.000 I want to read the last portion of this article, because this is interesting.

00:14:15.000 Based on our research, we rate false the claim that there are U.S.

00:14:18.000 biolabs in Ukraine funded by the U.S.

00:14:20.000 government.

00:14:21.000 The posts misrepresent a treaty between the United States and Ukraine aimed at preventing biological threats.

00:14:25.000 The labs are owned and funded by the Ukrainian government.

00:14:28.000 I totally accept all of that.

00:14:28.000 Okay, fair.

00:14:29.000 in Ukraine have said the claim is false. Reports indicate the claim is tied to a years-long

00:14:29.000 Okay, so Ukraine does have biolabs.

00:14:34.000 Russian disinformation campaign aimed at discrediting the US. Okay, fair. I totally accept all of that. 1.00

00:14:39.000 Okay, so Ukraine does have biolabs. So when the narrative came out that Russia was concerned

00:14:44.000 about biolabs in Ukraine, that was legitimate? 0.95

00:14:48.000 Like, is Russia really concerned about that?

00:14:48.000 Yeah.

00:14:50.000 All right.

00:14:51.000 Sorry.

00:14:51.000 Sorry, everybody, you know, that they're spreading this disinformation.

00:14:54.000 How about we just talk about the truth that there are biological research facilities in Ukraine and that Russia wants to seize them?

00:15:04.000 fears Russia will.

00:15:04.000 Or the U.S.

00:15:05.000 Yeah, well, like I said on our last episode, the only time you need to really come in with these fact checks is if there's some kernel of truth that you don't want people discussing.

00:15:12.000 That seems to be the case very often.

00:15:14.000 Maybe I'm being a little hyperbolic, but we see it frequently.

00:15:17.000 And I will say this, after the last five or six years, it is absolutely laughable that they think they would have any credibility talking about, A, biological laboratories, bioweapons labs, and where they're getting their funding, and B, Russian disinformation.

00:15:31.000 It doesn't exactly bolster my confidence in the veracity of their claims that they're using that phrase.

00:15:36.000 Look at this.

00:15:37.000 We have the story from Bloomberg.

00:15:38.000 This is funny.

00:15:40.000 China pushes Russia conspiracy theory about U.S.

00:15:43.000 labs in Ukraine.

00:15:44.000 Russia, wouldn't you just put Russia in?

00:15:46.000 I don't know why they labeled it that way, titled it that way.

00:15:48.000 Foreign ministry urged U.S.

00:15:49.000 to name viruses stored in labs.

00:15:52.000 Asia has yet to call Russia's military action an invasion.

00:15:55.000 I bet the word Russia gets better clicks, better internet search results than Russian. 0.91

00:15:59.000 That's why they did it.

00:16:00.000 You a fan of that biolab?

00:16:02.000 Name three of their viruses.

00:16:03.000 Sorry.

00:16:04.000 This is literally the same.

00:16:05.000 These are the same types of headlines that we saw at the beginning of the COVID pandemic when people were pushing the lab leak theory.

00:16:12.000 I'll never forget the one from the Washington Post when they literally said Tom Cotton is repeating a conspiracy theory about COVID that has already been debunked.

00:16:20.000 Like this is the same exact game plan that they did when COVID started with the lab, when they covered for the lab leak from China.

00:16:26.000 What I'm starting to notice is when you debunk something, it doesn't mean that it wasn't right.

00:16:31.000 Well, the difference today between disinformation and something that's true is only a couple of weeks or months now.

00:16:35.000 Or days, yeah.

00:16:37.000 Or even days, in this case.

00:16:39.000 Biolabs itself was a conspiracy theory.

00:16:42.000 But it's because what they do is, if you bring up to a journalist, what's up with these biolabs in Ukraine? 1.00

00:16:48.000 They immediately retreat to the mot and go like, oh, US doesn't have biolabs in Ukraine. 0.98

00:16:52.000 It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:16:54.000 I didn't say US.

00:16:55.000 I said, what's up with these biolabs? 1.00

00:16:57.000 So what happens is you'll get a regular person.

00:17:00.000 And, like, I've experienced this.

00:17:01.000 It's really funny, you know, people shouldn't play games with me because I know what I'm talking about.

00:17:04.000 And I'll say something, and they'll, you know, there's, this is a really good example.

00:17:09.000 So I'll give you a hypothetical, but there, because I don't want to invade, I don't want to violate anyone's privacies, but.

00:17:14.000 So you'll say something like, did you guys hear about, you'll be at a party, and you'll be like, do you hear about these biolabs in Ukraine now? 0.99

00:17:20.000 Russia, of course, probably is not happy with it.

00:17:20.000 Now they're confirming it.

00:17:22.000 And then someone goes, there's no U.S.

00:17:25.000 biolabs in Ukraine.

00:17:26.000 You're making that up.

00:17:27.000 And then I'm just like, I never said U.S.

00:17:30.000 A regular person, though, might be like, of course, sir, I was reading about it.

00:17:33.000 And then they'll pull up on their phone and they'll say, there are no U.S.

00:17:36.000 biolabs.

00:17:37.000 See everybody who was wrong.

00:17:38.000 That's what they'll do.

00:17:39.000 And people will conflate these stories and not realize it.

00:17:41.000 Don't play games with me because I'm going to be like, I didn't say U.S.

00:17:44.000 My favorite part is that that's the stuff you talk about at parties.

00:17:47.000 No, I'm serious.

00:17:48.000 Yeah, of course I do.

00:17:50.000 Also, I walk into a party, I grab a beer, I'm like, how about that bio lab? 1.00

00:17:54.000 Everyone's like, oh yeah, and we're all drinking.

00:17:55.000 I just got to say, I really hope they're not eating bat soup in Ukraine. 1.00

00:17:59.000 Because that's the most logical explanation of where biological weapons come from, right?

00:18:04.000 You were a conspiracy theorist if you thought that the virus, which was first Infecting people right near a biological weapons research lab was made in a biological weapons research lab instead of coming from a bat.

00:18:17.000 So what happens is you've got all these labs in Ukraine and China's saying like, tell us what viruses are in it. 0.94

00:18:23.000 In like a month, all of a sudden there's like 12 new viruses that emerge in Ukraine.

00:18:27.000 And then the mainstream media goes, that was an armadillo.

00:18:30.000 That one was a mangrove.

00:18:30.000 Ukraine's bat infestation problem.

00:18:33.000 No, no, no, it's gotta be a different animal for each different virus that emerges from the biolab.

00:18:37.000 But the sad thing is, it's serious.

00:18:40.000 So when I was at the Daily Caller back when COVID first started, we were one of the first news outlets that ran stories about the potential for, that this virus came from a lab.

00:18:49.000 And we got dinged on Facebook for it.

00:18:51.000 The way Facebook works is the way you get one of those fact checks on your post.

00:18:55.000 Is a fact checker has to write an actual story.

00:18:57.000 One of their certified fact checkers has to write a story about your post and you get dinged.

00:19:01.000 And if you get a certain amount of them, you get your account to monetize.

00:19:03.000 We got one for running lab leak stories.

00:19:06.000 Like this is the media and big tech and you know, the deep state working together to suppress information that they don't want the public to know.

00:19:14.000 But they apologized, of course, right?

00:19:16.000 Oh, well, yeah.

00:19:17.000 Eventually, when it all came out... Oh, I'm kidding.

00:19:20.000 That's impressive.

00:19:20.000 They actually did?

00:19:21.000 Well, no, they didn't apologize.

00:19:22.000 Of course they didn't apologize, but when the info finally came out that actually there is merit to the lab leak story, they stopped the censorship.

00:19:28.000 Remember when... What was that guy's name?

00:19:31.000 Andy Stone is the guy from Facebook.

00:19:33.000 He's on Twitter.

00:19:34.000 And he's like, the Hunter Biden laptop story is, you know, disinformation.

00:19:38.000 So we're suppressing it to make sure it can't be shared.

00:19:40.000 And then Twitter did.

00:19:41.000 And then like a month later, they're like, oh, that story was real.

00:19:44.000 Like, they publicly brag about suppressing pertinent information to an election.

00:19:48.000 It happens.

00:19:49.000 And that guy, too, used to work for the DCCC and Barbara Boxer and a bunch of other Democrats, too. 0.98

00:19:55.000 So you had this Democrat comms guy who now works at Facebook talking about how they're censoring a story that's unfavorable to the then-Democrat candidate for president.

00:20:04.000 What concerns me right here is that there's going to be a leak.

00:20:06.000 This is the narrative, okay?

00:20:07.000 The two biggest fears in the world right now, COVID and Russia.

00:20:10.000 That there's going to be a leak in Ukraine, and they're going to blame it on Russia, and it's going to be another pandemic.

00:20:15.000 Well, so that's exactly what we heard with Marco Rubio just in the other segment.

00:20:19.000 Rubio saying, there's no doubt in your mind, you know, Ms.

00:20:22.000 Newland, that if there's a biotech, it is Russia.

00:20:24.000 The priming.

00:20:24.000 Yes.

00:20:25.000 Now, if something happens, they're going to be like, we told you it was Russia. 0.94

00:20:28.000 Time for us to evade.

00:20:30.000 Marco Rubio said it was going to be Russia.

00:20:33.000 How conspiratorial do you want to get?

00:20:35.000 70%.

00:20:35.000 Very.

00:20:36.000 Remember when Bill Gates recently was talking about weaponized smallpox?

00:20:42.000 What was that story again?

00:20:44.000 What an odd thing to talk about.

00:20:45.000 You want to pull it up real quick?

00:20:46.000 See if you can pull it up?

00:20:47.000 There was a story where Bill Gates was talking about treatment for weaponized smallpox.

00:20:51.000 He's like, we speculate it would evolve from a bat.

00:20:54.000 Yeah.

00:20:54.000 Well, it's gotta be to an animal.

00:20:56.000 This time it's a penguin!

00:20:58.000 It's like these penguins are gonna give us weaponized smallpox.

00:21:00.000 It was a hamster.

00:21:01.000 The penguins will fight back.

00:21:03.000 Hamster soup.

00:21:03.000 Bill Gates warns of weaponized smallpox just after FDA approves his new pox drug.

00:21:08.000 This is from November 29th, 2021.

00:21:09.000 That was actually recently.

00:21:13.000 So this is The Independent.

00:21:14.000 Yeah, so we have it right here.

00:21:15.000 Bill Gates warns of smallpox terror attacks as he seeks research funds.

00:21:19.000 Look, this just could be him being like, I'd like money, please.

00:21:23.000 Or maybe we should pay attention to what powerful global elites are saying about stuff when you have people like Rubio saying there could be a bio-attack.

00:21:31.000 So it could be a smallpox thing?

00:21:32.000 I don't know.

00:21:33.000 I don't know if these things are connected.

00:21:34.000 I don't like speculating.

00:21:35.000 I just want to get on the record saying it now so that in six months, if it does happen, people know that I was thinking it.

00:21:41.000 I'll put it this way.

00:21:43.000 You can take it, the pessimistic, nefarious route, and assume Bill Gates knows something, or we can trust Bill Gates.

00:21:49.000 He warned us about weaponized smallpox.

00:21:52.000 Now we're hearing Russia might do a bio-attack?

00:21:54.000 Maybe Bill Gates is right.

00:21:55.000 Bill Gates was funding EcoHealth Alliance, which was working- Can you think of a more trustworthy- Oh, did you not- Is that not on the- I don't know.

00:22:01.000 I thought he was, for sure.

00:22:02.000 I know that the NIH was, but was Bill Gates doing it?

00:22:06.000 You gotta be very careful.

00:22:06.000 I don't know.

00:22:08.000 Yeah, man.

00:22:09.000 Gotta be very precise.

00:22:10.000 I gotta keep my mouth shut.

00:22:13.000 You guys are really smart.

00:22:14.000 I'm not saying you're wrong.

00:22:15.000 You could get fact-checked for it.

00:22:17.000 No, but let's make sure we're accurate.

00:22:19.000 Was Bill Gates in any way providing funding to EcoHealth?

00:22:22.000 Yeah, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

00:22:23.000 I'm looking at it now.

00:22:23.000 They did.

00:22:24.000 See if you can find anything.

00:22:25.000 So, I'm going to put it this way.

00:22:26.000 I'm going to give Bill Gates the benefit of the doubt, even though I don't like the guy, and say, okay, maybe he's right and knows something about the potential terror attacks.

00:22:34.000 Yeah, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation committed a $1.5 million grant to the EcoHealth Alliance in 2020.

00:22:40.000 I see there you were right Ian.

00:22:41.000 I was just saying make sure you fact check it because we've got to be very precise.

00:22:44.000 We were testing Ian.

00:22:44.000 I knew that.

00:22:48.000 That info comes from InfluenceWatch.org.

00:22:51.000 But is that a legitimate website?

00:22:52.000 I don't know how to check.

00:22:54.000 It's a non-profit.

00:23:01.000 Bill Gates celebrates collaboration with NIH.

00:23:04.000 From GatesFoundation.org also.

00:23:06.000 Is that right?

00:23:08.000 Well, there you go.

00:23:10.000 I mean, honestly, it's not it's not far fetched to believe that Bill Gates is providing is providing this, you know, financial assistance to this organization.

00:23:17.000 I mean, he talks about vaccines.

00:23:19.000 It's on the Gates Foundation website to support India's Ministry of Animal Husbandry, whatever.

00:23:19.000 Oh, yeah.

00:23:24.000 So let's just go ahead and say maybe Bill Gates, when he warns of smallpox terror attacks, kind of knows something we don't.

00:23:31.000 I'm not saying he's malicious.

00:23:32.000 I'm not saying it's a conspiracy.

00:23:33.000 I'm saying maybe he's right.

00:23:35.000 Maybe he's right and we should be worried.

00:23:36.000 I'll just tell you this.

00:23:37.000 Whatever you want to believe, that there's a grand cabal planning these things and Bill Gates is involved, or Bill Gates is a superhero who's saving people, there seems like a risk of smallpox terror attacks.

00:23:47.000 So, I don't know what you do.

00:23:49.000 Do you just, you know, buy emergency food and hide in the ground?

00:23:52.000 Buy emergency food.

00:23:53.000 Yes, hide in the ground.

00:23:54.000 I'm going with tunes, obviously. 0.99

00:23:56.000 I'm going to buy some shipping containers and bury them and crawl into it and die. 0.99

00:24:01.000 You know what? 0.94

00:24:01.000 I've heard shipping containers are not the way to go, though, because they cave in. 0.94

00:24:04.000 Yeah, and they're also very dirty.

00:24:06.000 They're not really made to sustain weight.

00:24:09.000 Geodesic domes, right, Ian?

00:24:10.000 Yeah, but they leak.

00:24:12.000 That's the biggest problem with them.

00:24:13.000 I've been doing a lot of research on those, too.

00:24:15.000 Okay, how about we get giant floating domes?

00:24:19.000 So you know what the real flex is?

00:24:20.000 You vacuum them out.

00:24:21.000 You create a chamber, it's like a boat.

00:24:25.000 You vacuum out the boat area of it so it floats.

00:24:28.000 The real flex is not that you go to an underground layer when it hits the fan, it's that you force your enemies into an underground layer.

00:24:34.000 Can we make something strong enough to withstand a large enough vacuum to actually float on Yeah, I think it's going to be a metamaterial like, um, aerogel.

00:24:42.000 Yeah, like a graphene aerogel.

00:24:44.000 And then what you do is you create a bunch of little pockets of holes inside of this boat and then you vacuum out all these little pockets of holes.

00:24:50.000 So you've got like a light, lighter than air thing.

00:24:53.000 And then if it's big enough, it should be able to carry people and farms and stuff.

00:24:56.000 So that it's, yeah, so it would be, as a whole, it would be, uh, it would, it's, it's not the mass, it's the, um, displacement of gases.

00:25:05.000 And then, uh, you strap an ion thruster on it and fly it around.

00:25:08.000 What do you think, Greg?

00:25:13.000 I don't know, but Lydia, back to our topic, or talking about bio labs, check out the tweet that I just DM'd you.

00:25:18.000 Back to reality.

00:25:20.000 It's a guy writing for foreign policy, foreignpolicy.com, the preeminent foreign policy magazine.

00:25:27.000 He says, Russia helped create and is now actively amplifying a conspiracy theory claiming the invasion of Ukraine is being done to destroy U.S.-run bioweapons facilities.

00:25:36.000 And he says, the wildest part?

00:25:37.000 People believe it.

00:25:38.000 Yeah, so this is from March 2nd, so it's a few days ago.

00:25:41.000 And now we know it's true, right?

00:25:44.000 But this is the thing, it's like, you know, foreign policy, that's, you know, that's held up as like this, you know, by the establishment as this, you know, trustworthy news outlet.

00:25:52.000 That's the title, yeah.

00:25:53.000 Is it False Claims of U.S.

00:25:55.000 Biowarfare Labs in Ukraine Grip QAnon?

00:25:57.000 QAnon!

00:25:58.000 Right, well, look, I got no problem saying I don't see why we have to talk about U.S.

00:26:02.000 biolabs or whatever.

00:26:03.000 Like, if you want to fact check that, like, by all means, I'm not...

00:26:06.000 If Ukraine has biolabs, sounds like it's a fact because Victoria Nuland said they did. 1.00

00:26:11.000 Now the question is, is this a motivating factor for Russia?

00:26:14.000 I don't know because Russia, their demands of Ukraine are give them Donbass, give them Crimea, and don't join NATO or the EU.

00:26:22.000 I didn't see any demands from Russia where they were like, get rid of these biolabs. 1.00

00:26:27.000 I think the story could be a stretch to say the least, but I just love how they, they, they, this is a trick.

00:26:32.000 Look, if you've been watching the show for some time, you know the trick, because I tell you all the time.

00:26:36.000 You'll have Ian, and he'll do a backflip, and the media will write, did Ian really do a backflip?

00:26:42.000 On Sunday?

00:26:44.000 False!

00:26:45.000 While Ian did do a backflip, it was actually at midnight on Saturday, which is technically not Sunday.

00:26:51.000 Although technically it is, we rate this claim false.

00:26:53.000 It was 11.59 in 58 seconds by the atomic clock standard.

00:26:58.000 Unfortunately for Ian, his clock was two minutes fast.

00:26:59.000 It was actually Monday in Australia when he did the backflip on Sunday.

00:27:02.000 False.

00:27:03.000 Partly true.

00:27:04.000 It's not a U.S. 0.99

00:27:05.000 lab.

00:27:06.000 They're Ukrainian labs. 0.99

00:27:07.000 And they're not bio-warfare labs.

00:27:08.000 They're just bio-labs.

00:27:10.000 So if you put bio-warfare, it's going to be called false, too.

00:27:12.000 According to the girl that... You see these games they're playing with this stuff? 1.00

00:27:15.000 Sneaky.

00:27:16.000 Man, I love this one.

00:27:18.000 PolitiFact just goes nuts with it.

00:27:20.000 Bloggers say Putin bombs Biden-owned villa in Ukraine while hammering biolabs and pedo rings.

00:27:25.000 Alright, well, I'm gonna give you that one, PolitiFact.

00:27:29.000 That sounds like... This is the problem.

00:27:32.000 It's because there'll be like a guy wearing like a nice suit and he'll be like, you know, I'm concerned about these biolabs in Ukraine. 1.00

00:27:38.000 And then there'll be like a crazy guy with a tinfoil hat next to him going like, you're right! 0.95

00:27:42.000 The US is funding them and there's pedos! 0.91

00:27:44.000 And then the fact checker goes, I'm gonna run with that one.

00:27:47.000 Or those two people actually hate each other in real life, but the media associates them with one another, as is the case with the infamous conspiracy theory pyramid that I reviewed and debunked on my channel.

00:27:59.000 The whole point is you want to link people who have basically nothing in common other than the fact that they're questioning the official narrative.

00:28:06.000 There's a comic that's being shared by all of these leftists, and it's the weirdest thing.

00:28:11.000 And it shows a guy sitting on a couch with what appears to be his wife or something.

00:28:15.000 And he's got a shirt with an American flag and he's wearing a red hat.

00:28:17.000 And I'm like, gee, I wonder what that's supposed to symbolize.

00:28:20.000 And he's watching the news and he says, Russia says they're just taking back what's rightfully

00:28:25.000 theirs.

00:28:26.000 And then the woman goes, Alaska was Russia's, you know, 60 years ago or something.

00:28:30.000 And I'm like, is this implying that the America first anti interventionist populist MAGA people

00:28:37.000 are like defending you like Russia's invasion of Ukraine?

00:28:42.000 I don't understand.

00:28:43.000 It makes no sense.

00:28:47.000 You can try to do an honest analysis of Putin's motives and reject a lot of the propaganda coming from the warfare state and the industrial military complex and their lackeys in the media without supporting Putin or his invasion.

00:28:59.000 Right.

00:29:00.000 Well, Tim, to your point, what they're doing is exactly what you say.

00:29:03.000 They can't find anyone in real life who actually supports Putin.

00:29:06.000 They can't find Republicans who support Putin.

00:29:08.000 So they have to create this little comic.

00:29:10.000 The whole of Twitter is imagining someone and then getting mad at that person.

00:29:15.000 Right.

00:29:15.000 Like that person literally doesn't exist, but you're going to fling bows and arrows at them because it's easier.

00:29:20.000 The best they can do is find Republicans who Putin supports, at least according to that Right, exactly.

00:29:26.000 They're trying, they're really trying, and it's kind of sad because there are actually real things that we could be working toward fixing together, but no, it has to be Russia.

00:29:34.000 We don't have any problems that need fixing right now, Lydia.

00:29:36.000 Yeah, we're good. Let's let's let's let's crank this up to 11

00:29:39.000 Daily Mail says, U.S.

00:29:41.000 official warns cornered Russian leader could use small nukes on Ukrainian cities in worst-case scenario after Kremlin officials privately denounce Putin's cluster-F invasion.

00:29:51.000 With his forces bogged down in snow and minus 20 C freeze on the way.

00:29:56.000 I kinda wanna just say at this point... Bull-ish?

00:30:00.000 Like... They're coming out and they're like... Russia could do a bio-attack!

00:30:06.000 There could be nukes!

00:30:07.000 And I'm like, okay, look, look, look, hold on.

00:30:09.000 When they talked about the invasion, I said it's starting to sound like Chicken Little, and then there was an invasion.

00:30:13.000 So far, be it for me, I have no moral standing at this point to claim Putin won't be using nukes because I was certainly wrong about him invading Kiev. 0.76

00:30:21.000 But at this point, I'm just like, yo, you've beaten us over the head screaming about the escalation and Putin is crazy over and over again.

00:30:27.000 Can we just chill for a minute? 0.99

00:30:29.000 Yeah, well, I mean, look, the moral of the story of the boy who cried wolf is not that those stupid village people didn't believe him the one time he was telling the truth. 0.99

00:30:36.000 It was that he kept lying, and so he lost all of his credibility. 0.96

00:30:39.000 And that's the exact case with the media.

00:30:41.000 Maybe this is the one time where they have real information about something that's actually gonna happen.

00:30:46.000 Well, they did phrase it as it may.

00:30:47.000 But it's their fault.

00:30:48.000 It's their fault that people don't believe them because all they do is lie.

00:30:52.000 Seamus.

00:30:53.000 We can get this project done in a half an hour.

00:30:55.000 Let's do it.

00:30:56.000 You should draw up, we'll work together, we'll make a book called The Democrats Who Cried Russia. 0.58

00:31:01.000 And it'll be a children's book, not really, it'll be like a parody, where the first few pages explain Russiagate and how it was all fake.

00:31:10.000 And then in the end, when the Democrats finally came out and screamed, Russia's gonna invade, no one believed them.

00:31:14.000 And then Putin invaded and attacked the capital of Ukraine.

00:31:17.000 Let's 100% do it.

00:31:18.000 100% do it, yeah.

00:31:18.000 That'd be funny.

00:31:19.000 I'd love that.

00:31:20.000 The Democrat Who Cried Russia. 0.77

00:31:22.000 After seven years, we just didn't care anymore.

00:31:24.000 Or like the media that cried anything.

00:31:28.000 The media that cried racism or fascism or whatever.

00:31:31.000 I don't know, you guys.

00:31:32.000 So look, I don't necessarily think it's wrong.

00:31:33.000 I want to add one thing to this story too, this idea that Vladimir Putin is dying.

00:31:38.000 So this is something that's been reported over the past several days.

00:31:40.000 They're claiming he's got terminal bowel cancer.

00:31:43.000 And I'm just kind of like, you know, look, he does look a little sickly, but he could be getting old.

00:31:51.000 But to claim that there's like, there's scant evidence, it's an anonymous source claiming he's got terminal bowel cancer.

00:31:57.000 We've had great luck with those anonymous sources over the past couple years.

00:31:59.000 I don't know if I, I don't, I definitely don't believe that either, because did you see the video of Putin that went viral a couple months ago of him playing hockey?

00:32:07.000 Oh, really?

00:32:07.000 No!

00:32:08.000 It's really funny because he's like, he's playing in a hockey game and all of the other players on the ice are just like letting him score.

00:32:17.000 Of course!

00:32:18.000 I mean, he was playing, if he could do that, I don't really think that he would be terminally ill.

00:32:22.000 Yeah, but didn't he also just take time off?

00:32:24.000 Did he?

00:32:25.000 Yeah, a little while ago.

00:32:26.000 He took like a few weeks to a couple months off.

00:32:28.000 I don't know but do you remember like, I forget when this was, this was probably over a year ago when there were reports going around that Kim Jong-un was on his deathbed.

00:32:35.000 That was CNN too.

00:32:36.000 CNN was like reporting that Kim Jong-un was on his deathbed and basically just caused an international incident and that turned out to be false.

00:32:43.000 You know what's funny?

00:32:45.000 We got these reports about, you know, a cornered Putin will use nukes.

00:32:49.000 A dying Putin is dangerous. 0.71

00:32:51.000 Mad Vlad. 0.93

00:32:52.000 And it's just like, the media is going to end the world.

00:32:56.000 If the world ends, it'll be because there is a hysteria driven by media who wanted that one last click.

00:33:00.000 Yeah, I've got another example.

00:33:01.000 Do you guys remember the time that the media lied to us about every single thing they ever told us for the entire time they existed?

00:33:06.000 I think that was called my life.

00:33:08.000 Yeah, that one time.

00:33:10.000 Good times.

00:33:10.000 I feel like it's also not just that they lie, it's that they completely ignore real problems that matter a lot more to Americans.

00:33:18.000 So they've been obsessed with this invasion in Ukraine.

00:33:20.000 We have an invasion at our southern border right now, but the media portrays that As compassionate that the Biden administration just allows this to happen.

00:33:30.000 Also, we have an invasion in Libya and in Iraq that we're perpetrating right now that you don't see much of this talking about it, unfortunately.

00:33:37.000 You should do a bit where CNN hires Jussie Smollett and then everyone's just like, we trust him.

00:33:43.000 Most believable guy ever.

00:33:46.000 And he can be holding a Subway sandwich as he's always reporting the news.

00:33:51.000 Reporting live from agri-country.

00:33:52.000 Because, you know, I'll keep saying it every single time, like, right now I can just be like, the media that believe, the people who believe Jesse Smollett are lecturing me about biolabs in Ukraine.

00:34:02.000 Not gonna happen this time, ladies and gentlemen.

00:34:04.000 So the thing about these news articles, this says, Western intelligence suggests.

00:34:07.000 They're not saying that it's real, they're just pointing out that the intelligence suggests it.

00:34:10.000 And then the other one is like, he may use, or he could use nukes. 0.98

00:34:15.000 He could grow lasers out of his arms and shoot them, too. 0.52

00:34:17.000 People familiar with the matter have said that Putin might use nukes. 0.76

00:34:21.000 My favorite thing is people familiar with a person's thinking.

00:34:26.000 I'm familiar with the media's thinking and I think they're completely full of it.

00:34:29.000 I'm familiar with Ian's thinking and I'm reporting that he plans on buying rocks.

00:34:34.000 He may be right.

00:34:36.000 I'm reporting Ian may be rolling a 20 at some point.

00:34:39.000 I just remembered a great example of one of those stories. 0.99

00:34:43.000 I gotta give a shout out to my friend Ben Williamson who used to work for Mark Meadows and there was a story like a little while ago when the media was like someone familiar with Mark Meadows' thinking and Ben was his senior advisor and he just goes, with all due respect to the person familiar with his thinking, this story is bullshit.

00:35:01.000 I want to give a shout out to our good friends at The Daily Wire who very, very carefully crafted this headline in two ways. 0.75

00:35:06.000 Mad Vlad, Western Intelligence, suggests Putin terminally ill reports.

00:35:13.000 So what they're basically saying is, first of all, we're not saying he's terminally ill, and those who are claiming it are only kind of claiming it.

00:35:21.000 So The Daily Wire has really hedged this article quite a bit.

00:35:25.000 Basically, it seems like everybody's kind of like, I don't think he's sick, you know?

00:35:30.000 I gotta be honest though, I mean, you know, maybe.

00:35:33.000 Regardless of whether or not he's actually got bowel cancer or anything like that, dude is 69.

00:35:36.000 Yeah.

00:35:37.000 Average life expectancy is, what, 72?

00:35:38.000 In Russia it's lower.

00:35:40.000 I imagine that's a stressful freaking job, too.

00:35:42.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.79

00:35:44.000 I'd imagine in Russia it's probably lower, right?

00:35:45.000 Maybe it's more.

00:35:46.000 Why don't someone Google that?

00:35:47.000 Yeah, I'll pull that, but it's lower.

00:35:48.000 I think there's a good possibility.

00:35:50.000 It's not necessarily about him being terminally ill, but him being like, I'm old, and before I pass, I'm gonna see Russia, you know, return to its former glory. 1.00

00:35:58.000 It could also be him understanding that he is never going to have the opportunity of a leader as completely inept as Joe Biden being in office ever again.

00:36:05.000 He probably knows that Joe is not going to last the full term.

00:36:09.000 So he wants to get it taken care of now.

00:36:11.000 Looks like Russian life expectancy.

00:36:12.000 66 years old for a man, 77 for a woman.

00:36:15.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:36:16.000 So he's past his...

00:36:18.000 You know, his average age, World Health Organization.

00:36:20.000 Going off what Seamus just said, what was that article you were showing me right before the show where like the Saudi, that has people like this didn't take. 0.70

00:36:26.000 I'm trying to remember what it was.

00:36:28.000 Hold on one sec.

00:36:29.000 I think that Biden was trying to make a call to Putin and he wouldn't take a call from Putin, but he did take a call from the UAE or the UAE took calls from Putin or whatever.

00:36:40.000 Yeah, there we go.

00:36:41.000 Yeah.

00:36:42.000 Yeah.

00:36:42.000 It's wild.

00:36:43.000 Wait, so Putin denied, Putin denied Biden's call?

00:36:46.000 Yes.

00:36:46.000 Come on, man.

00:36:47.000 You've got a soul, man.

00:36:49.000 This guy's mean.

00:36:52.000 There's a 0% chance that ever happens.

00:36:55.000 Also, the thing I love about that story is Biden thinks it makes him look good to say like, I went to that foreign leader and I called him mean.

00:37:06.000 You have no soul, man.

00:37:08.000 And I think that's what I said. 0.87

00:37:10.000 Russia's like, is that it?

00:37:12.000 It's like, well, you kind of want your adversaries to think you're mean, don't you?

00:37:15.000 Yeah.

00:37:16.000 There's also so many of those like similar stories with Biden where he claims he did all of these things that he never, like he claimed, like he always claims that he like marched, he was arrested while protesting with Nelson Mandela.

00:37:26.000 That never happened.

00:37:28.000 He's like, oh man, I was, I was there, but it's the Mandela effect.

00:37:31.000 You gotta be there to experience it.

00:37:34.000 This would be a great short film.

00:37:36.000 Is Biden's Mandela effecting it?

00:37:38.000 All these stories are real.

00:37:40.000 Check it out.

00:37:41.000 The Corn Pop story, the Mandela story, the speech he gave in the 80s.

00:37:46.000 But then something happened with the Large Hadron Collider.

00:37:49.000 And then Joe Biden's like standing there.

00:37:51.000 I'm a victim of time travel, man.

00:37:52.000 A rift opens up and he's like, whoa, come on, man!

00:37:55.000 And then he gets sucked through into a reality where he didn't do any of these things.

00:37:58.000 Putin banged his straight razor on the curb to get it rusty.

00:38:03.000 Put it in a rain barrel to get it rusty.

00:38:07.000 Let's pitch to the Daily Wire a sci-fi about Joe Biden traveling through the multiverse.

00:38:12.000 It's interstellar, but just with Joe Biden.

00:38:14.000 Yes!

00:38:15.000 Oh my gosh.

00:38:16.000 And like, for some reason he's interacting.

00:38:18.000 Matthew McConaughey is the same role, doing the same things, but it's Joe Biden in every other capacity.

00:38:23.000 Just for some reason.

00:38:24.000 Come on, man!

00:38:26.000 Traveling through other dimensions.

00:38:28.000 Snow malarkey!

00:38:29.000 He comes from a universe where people still frequently use the phrase malarkey.

00:38:35.000 He's fighting everything he's doing, all these wars, because he's trying to restore the original timeline and Vladimir Putin's trying to stop him.

00:38:41.000 So it was like Putin and Biden met at a young age and worked together and then had a falling out when, you know, the Large Hadron Collider goes off and sends them into different dimensions and Putin's trying to stop him?

00:38:54.000 I mean, it could work.

00:38:55.000 It could work as a sci-fi plot.

00:38:56.000 In his universe, having hairy legs is a sign of nobility.

00:39:01.000 There's also the one with the Amtrak guy.

00:39:03.000 Have you ever seen this one?

00:39:04.000 He tells this story all the time.

00:39:05.000 in the pool.

00:39:06.000 There's also the one with the Amtrak guy. Have you ever seen this one?

00:39:10.000 He tells this story.

00:39:11.000 So he tells the story all the time.

00:39:13.000 He's told it like a bunch of times when he's talking about public

00:39:15.000 transportation, about how he says about how he was a senator.

00:39:18.000 He would travel to and from D.C.

00:39:20.000 to Delaware on Amtrak.

00:39:22.000 And like there was this guy, some Italian dude, I forget his name, who

00:39:26.000 who he said like came up to him in like 2019 or something when he was

00:39:29.000 vice president. And was like and he always like fakes the Italian

00:39:32.000 accent. And he's like.

00:39:33.000 He tells him, you know, and he's like, you know how many miles you traveled on Amtrak?

00:39:38.000 And he like, I forget the number of miles, but it turns out the guy died like 10 years before that.

00:39:43.000 I'm telling you it's the wrong universe.

00:39:44.000 Oh my gosh.

00:39:45.000 I mean, let's, I want to be real with you guys.

00:39:47.000 Biden has like some plates in his brain, doesn't he?

00:39:49.000 Yeah, he does.

00:39:49.000 Does he really?

00:39:50.000 Yeah, he has like stint things.

00:39:52.000 He had like two aneurysms or something?

00:39:54.000 He did, yeah.

00:39:55.000 So it's like, honestly, maybe the real story is much more sad.

00:39:59.000 His brain is just not working.

00:39:59.000 It is sad.

00:40:01.000 It's genuinely sad.

00:40:03.000 It's genuinely sad, but it's also terrible and worthy of ridicule that he's president of the United States and that no one's willing to acknowledge that he has severe psychological and cognitive deficits. 0.85

00:40:15.000 Well, that's just a stutter.

00:40:17.000 That's my point.

00:40:18.000 Dude, have you ever had like a stutter that forces you to plagiarize somebody else's speech?

00:40:23.000 It's so weird when that happens.

00:40:24.000 Remember, dude, oh my gosh, remember that one time that I said poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids? 0.99

00:40:28.000 It's like, I stutter all the time.

00:40:30.000 Joe Biden is like, I want to tell you about this.

00:40:34.000 There's nothing to fear but fear itself that we have.

00:40:36.000 And it's like, wait, what?

00:40:38.000 He's stuttering.

00:40:39.000 Yeah, he has the kind of Tourette's where you blurt out famous historical quotes.

00:40:46.000 What's even sadder is that Kamala Harris is even worse with saying nothing, saying a lot while saying nothing at all. 1.00

00:40:53.000 It's amazing.

00:40:54.000 She's not like slurring and misspeaking as often when she does it. 0.99

00:40:57.000 She just says shit that makes no sense. 0.99

00:41:01.000 She'll say a whole paragraph and you'll be like, that's a lot of words, but I don't know what you just said. 1.00

00:41:05.000 I don't think, frankly, I don't think you were telling the truth.

00:41:07.000 Yeah, I don't know what you said.

00:41:08.000 No, no, there's no truth to be had when you're like stringing random words together.

00:41:11.000 It's like lips or lipsimmer.

00:41:12.000 She'll be like, our children.

00:41:14.000 And when we talk about our children.

00:41:17.000 Yes.

00:41:18.000 The schools!

00:41:20.000 It's very important.

00:41:21.000 You're like, what?

00:41:21.000 Freedom.

00:41:22.000 Freedom.

00:41:23.000 I have no idea what that means.

00:41:25.000 But she's standing there and she's talking.

00:41:27.000 What's that meme where it was like International Women's Day?

00:41:29.000 Have you seen this one?

00:41:30.000 It's a grid.

00:41:30.000 Yes.

00:41:30.000 No.

00:41:31.000 And it's like, be brave like Amelia at the bottom.

00:41:33.000 Oh, I saw that!

00:41:33.000 It says, speak like Kamala.

00:41:35.000 And people are like, are we really encouraging young girls to speak like Kamala Harris?

00:41:39.000 Just laugh maniacally.

00:41:41.000 It's time for us to do what we have been doing.

00:41:43.000 And that time is every day.

00:41:47.000 Oh my gosh, that's beautiful!

00:41:50.000 Ukraine is a country.

00:41:52.000 Russia is a country.

00:41:53.000 Ukraine is a smaller country.

00:41:55.000 Russia invaded Ukraine, so basically that's wrong.

00:41:58.000 Is that what she said?

00:41:59.000 Yeah, she said that!

00:42:00.000 She said that on some like radio show.

00:42:02.000 Let me break this down for the layman.

00:42:04.000 Hold on, let me find the quote.

00:42:05.000 Let's say it is time for us to be doing what we do every day, but that time is now.

00:42:09.000 Let me find the full quote, because it's actually one of the funniest things ever.

00:42:13.000 So I tweeted the video of it that day, and I had so many blue checks who got mad at me for not including the whole thing, even though the whole thing didn't even make her look that much better.

00:42:20.000 But hold on, let me find this.

00:42:22.000 Yo, here it is.

00:42:24.000 So the host of the show asked her to break down what's happening in Ukraine in layman's terms.

00:42:29.000 And she goes, Ukraine is a country in Europe.

00:42:32.000 It exists next to another country called Russia.

00:42:34.000 Russia is a bigger country.

00:42:36.000 Russia is a powerful country.

00:42:37.000 Russia decided to invade a similar country called Ukraine.

00:42:40.000 So basically, that's wrong.

00:42:42.000 That's what she said.

00:42:44.000 That is a third-grader's history report 50 years from now.

00:42:47.000 And it's like, and it's like, I wasn't... When they didn't do the reading.

00:42:51.000 Little Jimmy, do you want to read your report?

00:42:54.000 My report is on the start of World War III.

00:42:57.000 Ukraine was a big country, but Russia was a bigger country, and Russia's invasion was wrong.

00:43:04.000 That's an A-plus right there if I've ever heard it.

00:43:06.000 I wasn't aware that the average layman in America is a kindergartener.

00:43:08.000 I know, right?

00:43:09.000 That's so insulting.

00:43:10.000 Oh my gosh.

00:43:12.000 Why is Russia... Man, I go into a lot of detail about why Russia's invasion was wrong, and I'm like, I'm pretty sure the people who listen to me can understand my argument as to why it's wrong, whether they agree or not. 0.94

00:43:23.000 Kamala Harris, this is the craziest thing.

00:43:26.000 I suppose you need to understand her audience, Democrat voters. 0.97

00:43:30.000 They really do need it dumbed down, I guess.

00:43:33.000 I don't know. But she's not, but that's the thing. I guess that's an example of it being dumbed down,

00:43:38.000 but a lot of the times it's not dumbing things down. It's making them really incoherent.

00:43:42.000 Yeah. Well, I mean, what is she saying? That was like explaining to a five-year-old. Yeah,

00:43:45.000 exactly. No, that was a five-year-old explaining it. Yeah.

00:43:47.000 Did you guys see the little golden book of Kamala Harris? No. Oh gosh, why?

00:43:52.000 But yeah, for real, like little golden books are like the little elf climbed the tree and then there's one where it's like Kamala Harris is the president because she's a woman or something like that.

00:44:00.000 What?

00:44:01.000 Sometimes people like people and sometimes the media wants to force you to like someone.

00:44:06.000 No, that's exactly right.

00:44:07.000 And like, you have this woman who is the first black and female vice president, and we're supposed to celebrate this.

00:44:14.000 And Asian.

00:44:15.000 Yeah, and Asian.

00:44:16.000 But we're supposed to celebrate that as like this giant victory for women that Kamala Harris is vice president, even though she was chosen for the job specifically because of her race and gender, right after she dropped out of the presidential race before Iowa, because she was polling at 2% in her home state.

00:44:30.000 And earned no delegates.

00:44:31.000 And earned zero delegates.

00:44:32.000 Even Tulsi got one, right?

00:44:33.000 And like, called Joe Biden a racist, and basically said that there was validity to the claims, that he was guilty of sexual assault, and then he's like, you wanna be my VP, man?

00:44:47.000 She's like, of course I do!

00:44:49.000 You guys remember the Feature Home episode where Leela plays Blurnsball?

00:44:53.000 Yes.

00:44:54.000 So Feature Home is amazing, and Leela is She keeps hitting the players.

00:44:59.000 It's like baseball, basically.

00:45:00.000 She keeps beaning them. 1.00

00:45:01.000 And so they're like, we'll hire her as a novelty act. 1.00

00:45:04.000 And she's like, wow, the first female Blurns ball player. 0.99

00:45:08.000 It's like, yeah, but you're like a freak show. 0.91

00:45:09.000 She's like, wow.

00:45:10.000 I'm like, that's where we're at, I guess.

00:45:12.000 And then they have Jackie Robinson, I guess.

00:45:18.000 is actually good at the game and says you're making us all look bad so we had to get involved Kamala Harris may be the first female VP but like isn't like that kind of a bad thing because she's making women look bad weren't you weren't we told that she's the first president the first female president yeah it's true and Jill Biden said she was president as well at this point it's canon yeah that's canon For the rest of time women will have to know that the first female vice president of this country was a very incompetent person who was chosen specifically because of her gender. 0.99

00:45:49.000 When I like to laugh sometimes I like to google back from right after the first democratic debate in 2019 When Kamala Harris's campaign sold t-shirts with her picture on it when she was a kid that said, that little girl was me.

00:46:00.000 They sold t-shirts of it.

00:46:02.000 Of her saying that when she said that to Biden.

00:46:04.000 I triggered a whole bunch of blue checks because I tweeted that it would be kind of upsetting or it would be kind of lame if the first female president gained the office through the death of the president and not through the election of the people of the country.

00:46:19.000 And they all went nuts on me over this.

00:46:21.000 And it was a really weird thing.

00:46:22.000 I'm like, Why am I?

00:46:24.000 How am I?

00:46:25.000 Why are you booing?

00:46:25.000 I'm right.

00:46:26.000 You know what I mean?

00:46:26.000 Like, if the first female president is appointed and not elected, that's kind of lame.

00:46:31.000 Like, shouldn't we be like, we've done it.

00:46:33.000 People have elected.

00:46:34.000 They've chosen to vote for this woman.

00:46:36.000 Instead of being like, Joe Biden won and he picked her.

00:46:39.000 And then if he gets, you know, incapacitated, she became president.

00:46:42.000 No one picked her.

00:46:43.000 No one voted for her.

00:46:43.000 She was appointed.

00:46:45.000 That would be kind of lame.

00:46:46.000 Tim, how do you know people didn't vote for Joe Biden because they liked Kamala?

00:46:50.000 Oh, well, probably, no, to be honest, though, I'm sure a lot of people did.

00:46:53.000 A lot of people probably were the feminists and the woke. 1.00

00:46:56.000 Do you think so?

00:46:57.000 Well, but this is the thing.

00:46:58.000 Joe Biden picked her to pander to progressives because he promised he was going to pick a woman of color. 0.99

00:47:03.000 But basically every progressive I know really does not like Kamala.

00:47:06.000 They really don't like her.

00:47:09.000 It's true, but they claim not to like Joe Biden.

00:47:12.000 They all voted for him. 100%.

00:47:15.000 I remember watching ContraPoints explain why you should vote for Joe Biden and I remember watching a bunch of progressives explain why you should vote for Joe Biden and their arguments were always because Trump X, Y, or Z. Yeah, of course.

00:47:31.000 And I remember my explanation for why I personally was voting for Trump.

00:47:35.000 And it was school choice.

00:47:37.000 It was him setting a timeline for getting out of Afghanistan.

00:47:40.000 It was the best economy of our lives in 2019 into 2020.

00:47:44.000 Like, there were real tangible things he was proposing where I was like, I like those things.

00:47:47.000 I don't care about Joe Biden.

00:47:49.000 He's an establishment guy.

00:47:50.000 But I can give you a real argument based on the guy I'm choosing to vote for.

00:47:53.000 For the people who are voting for Biden, they're like, Trump is bad.

00:47:56.000 And I'm like, well, Biden's bad too, but they vote for him anyway.

00:48:00.000 Well, he's a product of sort of the rabid desire of the media of, you know, permanent Washington to remove Trump from power because he was the biggest threat to the establishment's power that we've ever seen in politics.

00:48:14.000 And that's exactly what they did.

00:48:16.000 You know, I think you'd be very hard pressed to find somebody who voted for Biden because they were very excited to have Joe Biden as president.

00:48:23.000 That's 100 percent not true.

00:48:25.000 They voted for him because they were riled up, because they were convinced that Donald Trump was just this biggest threat to democracy that ever existed.

00:48:33.000 And they used, they weaponized the pandemic against him, the fact that this happened during a pandemic year.

00:48:38.000 And they, you know, they were basically saying that every COVID death was somebody Donald Trump murdered.

00:48:43.000 And between like, Obviously big tech and the media being extremely biased to one side between states, you know, completely overhauling their voting laws because just, you know, justifying it because of the pandemic.

00:48:55.000 You had this perfect storm where you have this guy now who is essentially a puppet of the establishment that was threatened by Trump, who's now ruining our country.

00:49:03.000 Well, that's what you get with Joe Biden, man.

00:49:06.000 Let's talk about the story out of Russia.

00:49:08.000 Let's talk about the escalation.

00:49:09.000 We have the story.

00:49:11.000 McDonald's announces temporary closure.

00:49:13.000 Oh my.

00:49:13.000 Over 800 locations in Russia.

00:49:15.000 The fast food giant said it will still pay the salaries of its employees in both Russia and Ukraine.

00:49:20.000 I think we must have an error on the TimCast.com website because this says Maca O'Harak.

00:49:26.000 That's not right.

00:49:27.000 That's not McDonald's.

00:49:28.000 Oh, I'm kidding.

00:49:29.000 It's in Cyrillic.

00:49:30.000 I love the Cyrillic D. It's funny, yeah.

00:49:33.000 McDonald's, it's like a weird looking A.

00:49:36.000 Do-ha-rak. 1.00

00:49:38.000 That's what it looks like.

00:49:38.000 It's a cursive R, I guess.

00:49:40.000 This is just crazy.

00:49:41.000 I mean, Facebook leaves Russia, McDonald's leaves Russia, the big banks leave Russia.

00:49:46.000 Like, they're trying to fix this place.

00:49:48.000 Yeah, I know.

00:49:49.000 So a lot of people are joking that, like, Russia is going to end up being the healthiest place on the planet.

00:49:54.000 Because in Chile, it was very disturbing because Diet Coke had been, it surged into the country basically in the last, the decade prior, and obesity was rampant.

00:50:02.000 It was really disturbing.

00:50:03.000 I gotta be completely honest.

00:50:05.000 When I heard that McDonald's, and Facebook, and Google, and Apple, and MasterCard were all pulling out, I was like, I really would love to be, like, to experience that right now.

00:50:16.000 Just to, like, you wake up, and it's quiet.

00:50:19.000 It's just quiet.

00:50:20.000 You walk outside, and you look around, and you don't hear anything, and you hear, like, a woodpecker in the distance, and you're like, and that's it.

00:50:25.000 That's the only information.

00:50:26.000 It's just like, ah.

00:50:28.000 So the people in Russia, I'm sure, in all seriousness, are probably... I don't think they're freaking out over McDonald's, to be honest.

00:50:33.000 They're probably worried their ATMs aren't working, or they're probably worried... I think March 9th, tomorrow, is the last day for Visa and MasterCard to work.

00:50:39.000 So they gotta switch over.

00:50:41.000 Apparently, the local banks are going to keep facilitating Visa and MasterCard internally, so Visa and MasterCard can't shut that down.

00:50:47.000 So they're probably gonna be fine.

00:50:48.000 Yeah, that's what I meant when I was referring to the big banks, by the way, is Visa and MasterCard pulling out.

00:50:51.000 But there's like Deloitte, there's like Ernst Young, there's a bunch of big financials, international financial organizations that are cutting off Russia.

00:50:58.000 There's a lot, like, it's not even that, too.

00:51:00.000 Like, FIFA banned Russia's soccer team from the World Cup.

00:51:03.000 From the video games, EA.

00:51:05.000 Dude, they banned cats!

00:51:06.000 They banned Russian cats from competing in... Well, that's reasonable.

00:51:10.000 Yeah, of course.

00:51:11.000 Those cats deserve everything they're getting.

00:51:14.000 That's right.

00:51:15.000 The CHL, which is the Canadian Junior Hockey League, which is like one of the biggest, you know, junior hockey leagues in the world.

00:51:20.000 You know, a lot of, they banned Russians from being drafted into the CHL.

00:51:25.000 And, you know, I did my part when I was at the bar the other night. 0.68

00:51:28.000 Somebody ordered a Moscow mule and I immediately just punched him in the face. 0.94

00:51:32.000 Perfect. 0.94

00:51:33.000 Not a true story, Adam.

00:51:34.000 Well, I was gonna say, the real blow to Russia right now is that Adidas is shutting down their stores, and we all know that they only wear those tracksuits, right?

00:51:43.000 It's over.

00:51:44.000 No more Russian mafia tracksuits.

00:51:46.000 This is the Borg attempting to digest the Russian issue.

00:51:50.000 No, I think it's it's vomiting it up.

00:51:52.000 All of these like international institutions are leaving Russia.

00:51:56.000 It's it's like imagine there's a giant like squid alien creature with its tentacles all over all these countries and something happened to where they're like repeat they're like pulling away from Russia and it's finally clearing a path the vines are being torn away and now Russia is just like I mean, look, if you are one of these people who thinks late-stage capitalism is awful, you should probably be happy these companies are pulling out of Russia.

00:52:22.000 Because I gotta be honest, I understand making life harder for Russians and affecting their economy is a bad thing.

00:52:28.000 But Google, Facebook, McDonald's going away would not be bad for you.

00:52:32.000 It concerns me because if there really was a revolution in the United States, like a good, healthy revolution, that the corporate government, like the global corporations would just cut us all off.

00:52:40.000 We would lose McDonald's.

00:52:41.000 From McDonald's and our money, our bank accounts, our gas would go up to $90 a gallon or whatever.

00:52:46.000 That's true.

00:52:47.000 No, you're right.

00:52:48.000 There's something there.

00:52:49.000 Just buy an electric car.

00:52:51.000 Just buy electric.

00:52:51.000 Yeah, just buy electric.

00:52:53.000 You got 60 grand?

00:52:54.000 No problem.

00:52:54.000 Don't worry about gas, right?

00:52:55.000 You get an electric car.

00:52:57.000 It's also just like a giant virtue signal, too, because these same corporations will never stop doing business in China because they have so much more financial interest in China.

00:53:07.000 Read that word.

00:53:08.000 What about a Taiwan? 0.67

00:53:09.000 What does that word say?

00:53:12.000 Temporarily.

00:53:14.000 Yeah, what does that mean?

00:53:16.000 Until they want to stop, basically.

00:53:18.000 It means they're not really doing anything.

00:53:20.000 Temporarily.

00:53:21.000 It's especially funny with FIFA, too, because the World Cup this year is literally being held in Qatar.

00:53:25.000 Not exactly a friendly country to human rights.

00:53:28.000 Aren't there, like, human bones in the structure of the World Cup stadium?

00:53:33.000 They're using slave labor to build the stadiums. 0.99

00:53:36.000 I could be wrong about this, so definitely fact check me.

00:53:38.000 Fact check.

00:53:39.000 I heard when the slaves die, they just push them into the construction of the building and just build over them.

00:53:44.000 Well, I don't know if that's I don't I don't know.

00:53:45.000 I can't I can't confirm or deny.

00:53:47.000 But I know from my history class that that's what they did to build the pyramids and the Great Wall of China.

00:53:53.000 I don't know if that's true, though.

00:53:54.000 I was reading about the pyramids or I think Great Wall of China is what I meant to say.

00:53:58.000 Great Wall of China.

00:53:59.000 I mean, it's massive.

00:54:00.000 Did you read about that?

00:54:00.000 Well, I'm for sure seeing forced labor at World Cup Stadium from the BBC in Qatar.

00:54:04.000 This is from 2022.

00:54:06.000 Yeah, I heard they just, like, put the bodies into the construction of the building.

00:54:08.000 Like, they just... When they're sealing off an area or cementing it, they just dump the body and then pour the cement over it and be like, eh, I'm sold.

00:54:14.000 Are you serious?

00:54:15.000 I've heard that.

00:54:16.000 I thought you were being hyperbolic, yeah.

00:54:17.000 No, no, no, legit.

00:54:18.000 Like, I've heard some of those stories, but it could just be propaganda.

00:54:22.000 Here's Qatar migrant workers unpaid for months of work on FIFA Stadium.

00:54:25.000 This is from Amnesty.org.

00:54:26.000 So people are going and they're not getting paid.

00:54:29.000 Migrants are coming in and getting basically forced slave labor.

00:54:32.000 Yeah, so hats off to FIFA for banning Russia from their video game while they're about to host the World Cup in Qatar.

00:54:37.000 Hope you guys make some money from the World Cup.

00:54:39.000 That's why you're doing it, right?

00:54:40.000 Yeah, right.

00:54:41.000 So, uh, Guardian says 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since the World Cup awarded them.

00:54:47.000 Is it Qatar or Qatar?

00:54:49.000 Either.

00:54:49.000 Oh, okay.

00:54:50.000 Depends on who you ask.

00:54:51.000 Yeah, it's like how you can spell healthcare with either a space or all one word.

00:54:56.000 Well, it's funny to me that McDonald's is coming out of Russia and they refuse to do anything about China where they are actually actively racist in their commercials.

00:55:04.000 McDonald's themselves is like a company.

00:55:06.000 They basically endorse it.

00:55:08.000 They just go along with it because it's what China wants.

00:55:10.000 Anything China wants, China, I guess, is a much bigger deal than Russia. 0.95

00:55:14.000 And yeah, and like going off that, like obviously we're mad by how expensive gas has gotten due to the fact that the world is sanctioning one of the biggest oil producers in the world.

00:55:22.000 Imagine if China invades Taiwan and all of a sudden all of these same countries are now sanctioning China, which produces like 80% of the ingredients in our medicines and a lot of our semiconductors.

00:55:33.000 Like, I know we complain about the price of gas, but imagine we're sanctioning a country that produces so much of our manufactured goods.

00:55:39.000 On the upside, maybe China won't invade Taiwan because they will be sanctioned like this and they'll have total cutoff from the global economy.

00:55:45.000 So I don't know about that story about bodies being in the stadium, because that might have been propaganda to manipulate.

00:55:51.000 But I did see a report that said 34 deaths in the construction of the stadium.

00:55:56.000 And now I'm looking at this story about FIFA inundated with 17 million requests for World Cup tickets.

00:56:01.000 So it's just kind of like, you know, this is a country that we've heavily criticized, that exploits people to an extreme degree, and we're like, yeah, but they're cool.

00:56:10.000 Russia!

00:56:11.000 It brings a new definition to built on the backs of slaves.

00:56:15.000 Literally.

00:56:15.000 Slavery, there's more slaves alive today than there's ever been, right?

00:56:19.000 Incredible.

00:56:19.000 Dude, I was just coming to terms with just accepting the slavery on Earth right now.

00:56:22.000 Like, this plastic was, I mean, these materials, these apple materials are built by like slave labor in China. 0.97

00:56:29.000 I don't know the specifics, but like, OK, use it like fuel to fix the system.

00:56:34.000 But it's horrifying.

00:56:36.000 It's the way things are, man.

00:56:37.000 This is the reality of the planet.

00:56:37.000 That's screwed up.

00:56:39.000 We don't think about it that often.

00:56:40.000 We really don't think about the slave labor that often.

00:56:43.000 It's not even necessarily that.

00:56:43.000 Americans, and it's mostly these Democrat types, don't want to talk about it.

00:56:48.000 They're the ones who get angry and make the comics, dismissing any criticism of them, protesting issues that they actually support, right?

00:56:55.000 So when you have people saying at Occupy Wall Street, like, oh, these billionaire elites, and then they put up a shrine to Steve Jobs, I'm like, don't you see a little hypocrisy there?

00:57:03.000 Like, this is the guy who's exploiting labor.

00:57:07.000 I despise Apple products.

00:57:09.000 Designed in Cupertino.

00:57:10.000 I absolutely despise Apple.

00:57:12.000 It's like they, you know, I remember I had a friend who was in college and she was like, my school is making me buy an Apple desktop for design.

00:57:21.000 And I was like, why?

00:57:23.000 And she's like, you have to, otherwise they fail you.

00:57:25.000 And then I was like, except you can get the same powered computer running the Mac OS for a third of the cost if you just build it yourself.

00:57:33.000 And she's like, they won't allow that.

00:57:34.000 Yeah, no, it's crazy.

00:57:34.000 I'm just like, I absolutely despise this company, man.

00:57:36.000 No, and as somebody who works in a creative field, who does animation, who's spent a decent amount of time around other animators, there's absolutely no reason that you need to use a Mac to do creative work.

00:57:45.000 Oh, thank you. 0.96

00:57:46.000 That's ridiculous. 0.85

00:57:46.000 But Apple played it really, really smart by making it... These college kids would get student loans, and they'd spend a thousand bucks on a $300 computer. 0.85

00:57:55.000 With a proprietary charger and everything.

00:57:57.000 And it's like, what is the Mac OS?

00:57:59.000 Like a rebranded Unix system?

00:58:01.000 I don't know, probably.

00:58:02.000 Yeah, I think it is.

00:58:03.000 And so then all of a sudden you get Occupy Wall Street, and they're like, Mac's good, and we're gonna celebrate, put up a shrine for Steve Jobs.

00:58:08.000 You know what, man?

00:58:08.000 Trendy, looks cool.

00:58:10.000 I will say this.

00:58:11.000 The virus thing, man.

00:58:12.000 They don't get viruses.

00:58:13.000 Yeah, Mac OS is a unit.

00:58:15.000 That's a lie, right?

00:58:16.000 That's a lie.

00:58:18.000 Everyone I know who has a Mac has said they don't get viruses on it.

00:58:22.000 In the early days of the excellent marketing from Apple, there was the narrative saying that apples don't get viruses and it just works.

00:58:30.000 And that's technically true.

00:58:32.000 What was happening was Apples were less likely to get viruses because their market share was like less than 1%.

00:58:37.000 Yeah, there aren't as many designs.

00:58:39.000 So nobody was making them.

00:58:40.000 And the same thing is true for Linux.

00:58:42.000 People say like, oh, well, Ubuntu doesn't get viruses either.

00:58:44.000 And it's like, yeah, because like 0.03% of people are using Ubuntu.

00:58:49.000 Granted, you know, a lot of stores like Walmart, I don't know specifically Walmart, but a lot of big box stores use Linux for all of their point of sale terminals and self-checkouts because it's free.

00:58:59.000 They don't want to pay.

00:59:00.000 But I think Walmart might use XP or something.

00:59:02.000 Dude, for all my talk about not trusting the media, I bought their narrative about Apple not getting viruses.

00:59:07.000 Shame on me.

00:59:08.000 But one thing I was pointing out earlier was, I love that they write designed in Cupertino on their products.

00:59:14.000 It's like, you mean made in China?

00:59:16.000 I don't care if it's designed here.

00:59:18.000 You made it somewhere else.

00:59:21.000 I didn't think that.

00:59:22.000 Nobody thought that you were having the people working in the sweatshops design the products.

00:59:27.000 You're not progressive for doing that here.

00:59:29.000 designed in my luxury apartment. Yeah, exactly.

00:59:31.000 Ladies and gentlemen, we got breaking news from Project Veritas.

00:59:37.000 New York Times national security reporter says the January 6 media coverage over

00:59:42.000 the top and the FBI was involved.

00:59:44.000 NYT national security correspondent Matthew Rosenberg contradicts his own January 6 reporting

00:59:49.000 quote, there were a ton of FBI informants amongst the people who attacked the Capitol.

00:59:54.000 Quote, it was like me and two other colleagues who were there outside and we were just having fun.

01:00:00.000 I know I'm supposed to be traumatized, but like all these colleagues who were in the Capitol building are like, OMG, it was so scary.

01:00:06.000 I'm like, F off.

01:00:08.000 I'm like, come on.

01:00:09.000 It's not the kind of place I can call someone.

01:00:11.000 I can tell someone to man up, but I kind of want to be like, dude, come on, you are not in any danger. 0.94

01:00:15.000 These effing little dweebs who keep going on about their trauma. Shut the eff up. They're effing 1.00

01:00:20.000 bitches. They were making too big a deal. They were making this an organized thing that wasn't. 1.00

01:00:25.000 Will I stand by those comments? Absolutely. Except when James O'Keefe confronted, I don't know if it

01:00:32.000 was this guy who did he confront this guy on the street or another, another journalist? He

01:00:36.000 confronted him. Uh, they wouldn't comment on any of this stuff. I don't think this was this one.

01:00:40.000 You just posted. Let me, where's my phone.

01:00:42.000 Because usually when they do one of these, they confront the people in the video.

01:00:46.000 Did they do that in this video?

01:00:47.000 I haven't seen it yet.

01:00:49.000 I want to fact check, make sure in real time that I'm right, because I just followed this Sierra, James O'Keefe, and no, okay, so right, I was right, it was someone else.

01:00:58.000 Mark Mazzetti was the guy that got confronted by James O'Keefe over, I believe, this story.

01:01:05.000 So you have this guy, this is Matthew, National Security Advisor Matthew Rosenberg, who's saying these things, and a different New York Times reporter was being questioned or challenged over it.

01:01:16.000 So, the point of this story, I'll tell you first and foremost, the media, these journalists, they believe exactly what we've been saying.

01:01:23.000 That it was bad, but come on, you're traumatized, it wasn't that bad.

01:01:26.000 No.

01:01:26.000 that there were FBI informants involved. Behind the scenes, they all know it publicly. They won't

01:01:30.000 say it. They won't report it. I'm wondering why anyone should care at this point. If the New York

01:01:36.000 Times comes out and says there's no evidence there was the FBI involved, is anyone gonna listen? 1.00

01:01:40.000 Do you care if other people who are dumb as a box of rocks listen? What are you gonna do? 0.99

01:01:44.000 You can't convince them they're as dumb as a box of rocks. 1.00

01:01:46.000 Well, it's funny that he is reporting ostensibly on the side of the media. 1.00

01:01:51.000 There's a New York Times reporter.

01:01:52.000 He's upholding the narrative.

01:01:53.000 And then behind closed doors, he's saying, this is pretty much nonsense.

01:01:56.000 I'm over the narrative.

01:01:58.000 It just goes to show that what the polling has said is valid, which is that More Americans want to see the 2020 riots investigated than want to see January 6th investigated.

01:02:10.000 Of course.

01:02:10.000 It's something like less than half of Americans, it's 40-something percent, 46 percent, think that the January 6th committee is good and they want the investigation to continue.

01:02:20.000 And two-thirds of voters want Congress to investigate the 2020 riots.

01:02:24.000 So people, I mean, the narrative's falling apart, even among the people who are supposed to be forwarding it.

01:02:29.000 Correct, yes.

01:02:30.000 There are also two reasons why you should care about What about that?

01:02:33.000 And the first reason is, you know, all the people, all the non-violent defendants from J6 that are still in jail without lawyers, without trials.

01:02:42.000 They're being hunted, they were hunted down by the DOJ and the FBI, these people for trespassing charges and locked them away.

01:02:48.000 The second reason you should care is because this sham January 6th committee in Congress is targeting Republicans that had nothing to do with January 6th.

01:02:56.000 They had nothing to do with the riot at the Capitol.

01:02:58.000 They are simply political opponents of people on the committee.

01:03:01.000 One of those people is my boss, Alex Brusiewicz, who all he did was organize several peaceful protests against the election.

01:03:07.000 He did not go into the Capitol on January 6th.

01:03:09.000 He was not involved, but he got a subpoena and had to testify today.

01:03:13.000 Another example is Andrew Sarabian and Arthur Schwartz, who are two more GOP strategists.

01:03:19.000 They got a subpoena and they weren't even there or working for Trump on January 6th.

01:03:23.000 They're simply friends with Donald Trump Jr.

01:03:25.000 and running a super PAC that's opposing Liz Cheney.

01:03:27.000 So why aren't they refusing?

01:03:30.000 Well, they are.

01:03:31.000 Well, they are.

01:03:31.000 Well, you know, because you can be held in contempt.

01:03:34.000 Like you can, you can have criminal charges filed against you.

01:03:38.000 There's the charges.

01:03:39.000 I think Bannon got like a misdemeanor, you know?

01:03:41.000 I don't know.

01:03:42.000 Yeah.

01:03:42.000 I don't, I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm wondering why so many people are just like, okay.

01:03:47.000 Alex Jones pleaded the fifth.

01:03:48.000 Well yeah, on the legal, well it's different on the legal side, like when we just talk about it, you know, it seems like it'd be easy to do that, but these people are putting the full force of government on a lot of these innocent people that didn't do anything wrong. 0.99

01:03:59.000 I think Republicans are pathetic. 0.99

01:04:01.000 Absolutely. 1.00

01:04:01.000 I was gonna swear, but I try not to, but overwhelmingly pathetic. 1.00

01:04:08.000 Yeah. 0.96

01:04:08.000 Well, whenever you have Republican leadership complaining about how the far left has taken this country too far in that direction, you have to ask, why did you let them? 0.96

01:04:15.000 Right.

01:04:15.000 Well, there's just so many people who are like, you know, a good example is the Don't Say Gay Bill, which we'll get into in a minute.

01:04:22.000 I don't want to derail into that.

01:04:24.000 I just want to highlight how even conservative outlets are referring to it by that instead of calling it the actual title of the bill or just like H.R.

01:04:31.000 1557 or whatever.

01:04:32.000 They're going along with it.

01:04:35.000 I'm just like, that's why I liked the other day we mentioned Christina Pasha, the spokesperson for DeSantis, when she called the anti-grooming bill and basically called the Democrats groomers.

01:04:43.000 I'm like, that's what I call spine.

01:04:45.000 Or when Ron DeSantis walked up to those kids and was like, you don't got to wear those if you don't want to, you know, take, please take them off.

01:04:52.000 And he, I think he said later that he didn't want people to think he made them do it.

01:04:56.000 So like, I don't care if you wear it, just, you know, I'm not making you do it.

01:04:59.000 So too often.

01:05:02.000 We have people who are just like, I'll just, you know, I'll do what I'm told and I'll go along with their abuse of power.

01:05:07.000 You get Donald Trump.

01:05:09.000 What did the Republicans do when the first two years of Donald Trump's presidency?

01:05:13.000 A whole hot nothing.

01:05:15.000 Or went, I'm sorry.

01:05:16.000 I'm so sorry.

01:05:17.000 I'm so sorry for the president.

01:05:18.000 I'm so sorry that my party acts this way.

01:05:20.000 They had Congress and they gave it up in 2018.

01:05:25.000 They're not going to do anything.

01:05:27.000 No, they're going to just keep collecting a paycheck.

01:05:29.000 Sorry, go on.

01:05:30.000 No, it's just they need term limits. 0.97

01:05:31.000 This is ridiculous.

01:05:32.000 As a point of clarification, Eric with Project Veritas is telling me that they did confront Rosen. 0.76

01:05:37.000 Oh, they did?

01:05:38.000 Yeah, and that's coming out in the future.

01:05:40.000 All right.

01:05:40.000 Yeah, I'm just saying the video they posted is of Mark Mazzetti.

01:05:43.000 Right, right.

01:05:45.000 Because every time they do one of these, they always confront the person about what they said, and usually they just run away from them.

01:05:50.000 So here's a journalist saying it wasn't organized.

01:05:52.000 Like, outright saying it wasn't organized.

01:05:55.000 That's interesting.

01:05:55.000 That's a New York Times reporter, you know?

01:05:56.000 We gotta trust NYT.

01:05:57.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:05:59.000 Behind closed doors, they tell you one thing.

01:06:01.000 Dude, our institutions are controlled by evil, despicable people, and there's no real political opposition.

01:06:07.000 The Republican Party, for the most part, is the no, wait, don't party.

01:06:11.000 Just do it in a couple weeks from now.

01:06:12.000 Not yet.

01:06:13.000 No, wait, don't.

01:06:14.000 We're losing.

01:06:14.000 We're being beaten down.

01:06:16.000 Every policy we push forward is a half measure, and the Democrats are getting what they want.

01:06:19.000 Better not push too hard.

01:06:21.000 You don't understand.

01:06:21.000 They're like, they're like, here's the art of the deal.

01:06:24.000 You start with the compromise, and then they'll give you what you really want.

01:06:28.000 No, no, no, Seamus.

01:06:29.000 They're saying, here's the art of the deal.

01:06:31.000 You start with the compromise, and then you give in to their demands.

01:06:34.000 Exactly.

01:06:34.000 Just give them everything they want.

01:06:36.000 I mean, the gun issue is the best example. 1.00

01:06:37.000 And then they like you, then they're your friend and they won't call you racist anymore.

01:06:40.000 How many Republicans have come out and been like, abolish gun law restrictions?

01:06:44.000 None?

01:06:45.000 Yeah, basically none.

01:06:46.000 I mean, it's not really fair.

01:06:47.000 I think Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Volburn.

01:06:48.000 Very small handful, but those are radicals, Tim.

01:06:51.000 Well, it's hilarious.

01:06:52.000 I've said this on the show before, but whenever a Republican actually tries to reverse left-wing policy rather than simply upholding the status quo or arguing that our rights should be intruded upon more slowly, they're referred to as a radical, even though the whole point of their position is for them to reverse that which the left has put in place.

01:07:11.000 I'm waiting.

01:07:12.000 I'm waiting.

01:07:12.000 You guys keep talking.

01:07:13.000 I'm waiting for source confirmation on some breaking facts.

01:07:16.000 I'm thinking about the history of leadership governments and stuff.

01:07:19.000 Most of them, I think, have been pretty bad over the years. 0.84

01:07:22.000 Like if you take a thousand years, you probably got like 960 years of trash leadership.

01:07:26.000 And then you get these great, these people that are so good because they're just actually good.

01:07:30.000 And then they call them the great or something like that.

01:07:33.000 And they give them these titles because they were actually intelligent people somehow that got into power that didn't get themselves killed.

01:07:38.000 It's not common throughout history.

01:07:40.000 It's very rare to see a fantastic leader and a good governance.

01:07:43.000 You know, Hammurabi did it. 1.00

01:07:44.000 That was like, not 8,000 years ago or something stupid. 0.98

01:07:46.000 You know, I just want to say, I kind of don't understand how this show exists. 0.97

01:07:51.000 Because we push back on each other.

01:07:53.000 No, no, I mean like, you've got the New York Times outright lying about all this stuff.

01:07:57.000 You've got the government coming and rounding people up in a solitary confinement.

01:08:00.000 And somehow we're able to criticize them very heavily and keep talking about this and showing like Veritas and pushing back on it.

01:08:07.000 I'm just like, after everything we've seen, after every media organization has lied about almost every single story, how does a show like this exist?

01:08:15.000 Don't hold your breath, buddy.

01:08:19.000 I think the success of this show kind of derives from that, where people are waking up to the fact that all these people do is lie, and all they are are tools for large corporations and the establishment in this country, and shows like this aren't.

01:08:30.000 What I mean is, why hasn't YouTube taken it down?

01:08:32.000 Because the people in charge are being coerced by the military-industrial complex.

01:08:37.000 No one wants freedom of speech gone.

01:08:40.000 The people that are really in charge of Google, they're not evil.

01:08:43.000 They're just being coerced by this established force.

01:08:47.000 If they were truly evil, they would have shut it down a long time ago.

01:08:50.000 That may be true, but I think you're rolling a wrong here.

01:08:54.000 I want on this one.

01:08:55.000 I don't think you need to censor people.

01:08:56.000 I think you just need to assassinate their character.

01:08:58.000 Obviously at some point they do want to censor.

01:09:00.000 We've seen them do it before.

01:09:01.000 People have been deleted from YouTube.

01:09:03.000 But why take down Tim's show when all you have to do is say Tim Pool is a far-right extremist and anyone who repeats what he says is a bigot?

01:09:11.000 But that doesn't work.

01:09:12.000 At some point it doesn't, you're correct.

01:09:13.000 And I think that's when they do start taking people down.

01:09:16.000 But the average person is still too afraid to talk about these things at their place of work or somewhere when they aren't sure that they're surrounded by like-minded individuals, unfortunately.

01:09:27.000 I am kind of curious how long we have on YouTube, and I'm glad we put our stuff on other sites, and I'm glad that we have the website.

01:09:34.000 I would like to mention as well, I've got just an update from Veritas themselves, that their next installment is discussing New York Times' source as the NSA and the CIA, and that they do confront this individual, so this should be interesting.

01:09:46.000 But I think people at Google are evil. 0.73

01:09:49.000 I think people at Twitter are evil.

01:09:50.000 I think there's a combination of evil and the banality of evil.

01:09:54.000 And I do know it comes up a lot, but it is a good reference point, the Joe Rogan Twitter episode that I did, where I think you need only look at when I was talking with Jack and said, what is your reasoning for the misgendering policy?

01:10:08.000 And they said, oh, because, you know, certain people have a higher propensity towards suicide.

01:10:12.000 And I said, what about people with body dysmorphia or whatever it's called?

01:10:15.000 It's called general body dysmorphia or something like that.

01:10:18.000 People who want to like cut off their own hands or something.

01:10:20.000 And they didn't have an answer to that. Or when I said, if conservatives think your misgendering

01:10:25.000 policy is inverted, why do you side with only one half of the country instead of, you know?

01:10:29.000 So clearly, they have a worldview completely detached from yours. They're willing to silence

01:10:34.000 and do whatever they want because in their worldview, it's what we were talking about

01:10:37.000 yesterday. Within the two parent factions of the culture war, there are those who believe

01:10:43.000 in inalienable rights.

01:10:46.000 Whether you're religious or not, there are people who believe there exists something outside of you and other people have equal right to life, liberty, and happiness.

01:10:54.000 And then you have the woke cultists who believe that power is derived by force and they can take whatever they want.

01:11:00.000 So that's like, you know, overarching narratives here.

01:11:04.000 We here are like honest because, well, you should decide for yourself and your life because I respect you and your life and you do what you want.

01:11:10.000 The other side believes that power should be seized and you seize power by lying to people and manipulating them.

01:11:15.000 Well, as Jack Dorsey said to him, if conservatives are allowed to express their views on Twitter, trans people aren't safe to express theirs. 0.58

01:11:23.000 So censorship is actually promoting free speech.

01:11:26.000 Did he actually say that?

01:11:27.000 that's not exactly how i put it but that's what he i mean that's what he

01:11:29.000 said his whole argument was that transgender people are not in a safe space for they can

01:11:34.000 speak freely unless those who would quote-unquote misgender them are unable to

01:11:39.000 do so let's talk about not a misrepresentation of his argument

01:11:42.000 that's what i mean that's what he was saying

01:11:43.000 and uh... and ups are not going to know just to make another point about

01:11:47.000 that i think you know it goes back to the fact that republicans controlled

01:11:50.000 the presidency and both chambers of commerce or commerce congress for two

01:11:55.000 years and didn't do anything about big tech censorship.

01:11:58.000 There are laws that can be changed that can prevent these big tech companies from censoring people and Republicans just didn't do it.

01:12:05.000 The good news is I think a lot of the GOP politicians are starting to wake up and get it and understand that, hey, we can make reforms to Section 230.

01:12:16.000 We can make reforms to these laws that can stop big tech from censoring people.

01:12:21.000 And we'll see if it happens.

01:12:23.000 I want to bring up this clip from Tom Elliott on Twitter.

01:12:27.000 Steven Colbert, he says.

01:12:29.000 I know what his name actually is.

01:12:30.000 He says, today the average price of gas in America hit an all-time record high of over $4 a gallon.

01:12:35.000 Okay, that stings.

01:12:36.000 But a clean conscience is worth a buck or two.

01:12:38.000 It's important.

01:12:39.000 I'm willing to pay $4 a gallon.

01:12:41.000 Heck, I'm willing to pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla.

01:12:45.000 I don't want a pro-abortion Catholic to talk to me about a clean conscience. 0.92

01:12:49.000 What does he mean by clean conscience?

01:12:51.000 No clue.

01:12:52.000 What is that a reference to?

01:12:53.000 I don't know.

01:12:54.000 Climate change or Ukraine. 0.76

01:12:55.000 One of the two.

01:12:56.000 Well, why would it be climate change?

01:12:58.000 Electric vehicles.

01:12:59.000 Buying less gas.

01:13:00.000 He didn't say anything about... Yeah, this is Ukraine.

01:13:02.000 He said buying gas.

01:13:03.000 This is Ukraine.

01:13:03.000 Russia.

01:13:04.000 You don't have a clean... So it's Russia. 0.99

01:13:06.000 Yeah.

01:13:06.000 Except the price of gas isn't going up right now because of Russia.

01:13:09.000 We only just today banned imports of Russian energy.

01:13:13.000 So this is Colbert manipulating you, manipulating regular people.

01:13:18.000 But I'd like to point out, as I stated a moment ago, why should I care if a bunch of NPCs sitting in the audience go ha ha ha ha ha ha at a guy who's lying Well, there's a thing that comes up that says laugh, like blinks, so they know when.

01:13:30.000 They're cued to laugh and clap.

01:13:32.000 It's all theater.

01:13:33.000 Literally in a theater they're doing that.

01:13:35.000 And then them laughing and clapping cues the audience to know that they're supposed to laugh and clap.

01:13:40.000 It also goes to show just how out of touch, you know, the elite in this country is with regular people.

01:13:45.000 You know, Stephen Colbert is worth millions and millions of dollars.

01:13:48.000 If the price of gas goes up, it's not going to affect him as much as it is somebody who has to spend like $20, $30 on their gas tank to get to work every day.

01:13:56.000 How about a progressive cost of gas?

01:13:58.000 So the richer you are, the more you have to pay when you go to the pump.

01:14:01.000 And I saw this, one of the most...

01:14:03.000 I'm kind of joking because I don't want them to track people's income, but how about that?

01:14:06.000 There's a meme, it's from Cat Turd, and he said there should be two different gas pumps.

01:14:12.000 Those who voted for Trump pay $2 and those who voted for Biden pay $10.

01:14:15.000 Hey, Colbert just said he wouldn't mind paying $15 a gallon and he can afford it.

01:14:19.000 A lot of people can't.

01:14:19.000 No, because he drives a Tesla because he can afford a Tesla.

01:14:22.000 I mean, how do you say something like that and not think, does this make me sound ridiculously out of touch?

01:14:28.000 They don't care.

01:14:28.000 You know what he should have said?

01:14:30.000 Nothing.

01:14:30.000 He should have just been quiet.

01:14:31.000 He should have said this quote.

01:14:32.000 Today, the average gas price in America had an all time record of $4 a gallon.

01:14:36.000 Ugh, let them eat cake. 0.97

01:14:38.000 Exactly.

01:14:39.000 Let them use electric cars.

01:14:41.000 That's right.

01:14:42.000 That's literally what he said.

01:14:44.000 Why don't you just drive a $60,000 Tesla?

01:14:46.000 Why don't you just get your Tesla?

01:14:48.000 Pete Buttigieg said the same thing twice.

01:14:50.000 Once in November and then once again Monday.

01:14:53.000 Maybe it's because people can't afford a $40,000 car.

01:14:56.000 Maybe the economy is the worst it's ever been.

01:14:59.000 When someone takes an injury, that's not the moment to start shaming them about getting healthy when they're hurting.

01:15:04.000 That's not when.

01:15:05.000 There was also a time years ago when he was on Comedy Central where Stephen Colbert was actually funny. 0.98

01:15:11.000 And late night comedy has just become trash. 0.97

01:15:16.000 And the reason it's become trash is because 1. 0.97

01:15:19.000 It's not even comedy anymore and 2.

01:15:21.000 Comedy is supposed to challenge People in make fun of the people in power and it's become these people have essentially just become puppets of the powerful Yeah, I was looking at the SNL lineup.

01:15:32.000 Did you guys catch that the last SNL?

01:15:34.000 It was like Ukraine. 0.86

01:15:35.000 I got to find out exactly what they're talking about It's all the stuff you think kovat Ukraine.

01:15:39.000 What else is on there Lydia?

01:15:40.000 And it's not it's not humor anymore.

01:15:41.000 It's not it's like it's reinforcing everybody Russia invaded Ukraine And everyone's like They're clapping, and it's like, that's bad.

01:15:51.000 This strikes me as just another way to inject the idea that this is Russia's fault.

01:15:54.000 But somebody was saying earlier today, I forget who I was listening to.

01:15:56.000 It was something like MSNBC.

01:15:57.000 They're like, no, gas prices have been rising since the start of the year.

01:16:00.000 And I was going to say, too, that if you can't afford to pay for $4 a gallon gas, most of us can't, odds are pretty freaking good that you also can't afford an electric vehicle.

01:16:09.000 And this is not the time to shame people for not being able to drive a Tesla.

01:16:12.000 But what's sad about that is that is what members of the Biden administration are saying between Biden and Pete Buttigieg.

01:16:18.000 They're telling people that if you're worried about the price of gas to buy an electric car, the average electric car costs like $55,000 and the median household income in America is like only $10,000 more.

01:16:30.000 And that's what these people are telling us to do.

01:16:32.000 That if you can't afford gas, you should buy a car that you can't afford.

01:16:35.000 If you're homeless, just buy a home.

01:16:37.000 How hard could it be?

01:16:38.000 Why don't you buy houses, homeless people? 1.00

01:16:41.000 It's so simple!

01:16:42.000 It was simple the whole time.

01:16:43.000 I mean, in their defense, a gallon of gas is gonna cost $55,000 soon.

01:16:46.000 This is what the left does with the homelessness problem.

01:16:48.000 They're like, did you know that there are more empty houses than homeless people?

01:16:52.000 Let's just put the homeless people in the houses! 1.00

01:16:54.000 And it's like, oh, and then when the house burns down, who's gonna be there to help them?

01:16:57.000 Because houses need to be maintained.

01:16:59.000 Because, I'll tell you this, we had, the smoke alarms went off here one day.

01:17:03.000 And we have no idea where, and then we're smelling smoke.

01:17:06.000 So what do you do?

01:17:07.000 Call the fire department, get everybody in the house, they gotta go through, they gotta inspect everything, and it could be an electrical fire somewhere in the walls.

01:17:13.000 We don't even know.

01:17:14.000 So imagine you got a homeless guy, clearly doesn't know how to maintain a house.

01:17:18.000 Certainly some homeless people are, but a lot of homeless people are mentally unwell.

01:17:21.000 You put them in a house, you're basically shoving the problem under the rug.

01:17:25.000 I'm not surprised that the Democrat establishment elites, people like Buttigieg, are saying, if you have an electric car, you don't have to worry about high gas prices.

01:17:33.000 Yeah, well, if I was a millionaire, I wouldn't have to worry about it either.

01:17:36.000 So case in point, if I was rich, I wouldn't be complaining, but for poor people, they're like, how is this solving my problems?

01:17:43.000 Well, here's the thing, rich people complain, they just complain about you instead of their problems, as is the case with Colbert here.

01:17:48.000 I think it's, I mean, I agree with you.

01:17:52.000 Homelessness is mostly an issue of mental illness or addiction. 0.53

01:17:59.000 Very often and so yeah, and so that their whole point about well, there are homes for every homeless person That's not exactly demonstrating that they understand the issue here and similarly inflation and high gas prices are caused by the fact that we have printed trillions of dollars and That results in prices going up because you flood the market with excess currency.

01:18:21.000 It's very straightforward stuff and that they're gonna sit here and blame Russia for it and And they're going to shame you for not buying an electric car.

01:18:28.000 It's your fault, buddy.

01:18:28.000 You know what I did this morning?

01:18:29.000 I bought a bunch of stuff.

01:18:31.000 Yeah, that's a good idea, man.

01:18:32.000 So I was like, we've been procrastinating on some things because we're waiting for the new headquarters to start construction.

01:18:39.000 So I'm like, eh, look, we need cameras, we need the new computer and the new live casting equipment stuff.

01:18:45.000 I'll buy it when we're ready to, you know, like when we're a week out from the completion of the studio, we'll buy it, it'll get here on time.

01:18:53.000 And then I woke up this morning and I saw the news about Shell pulling out of Russia and I was like...

01:18:58.000 I'm going to buy it all now.

01:18:59.000 All of it.

01:18:59.000 We're going to put it in boxes and we're going to keep it because it's going to, we're like two or three months away from, from needing it.

01:19:04.000 But if I wait, it's going to go up 30% or more.

01:19:07.000 You should start buying spare parts for like everything we got.

01:19:11.000 Someone was telling us to buy like 10 cheap Honda Civics or something, because then you like, they all have the same parts.

01:19:20.000 You can strip one and then fix all the other ones.

01:19:22.000 So, yeah, like, if you ever played Fallout 3, and you'll have, like, two, you know, repeaters, and then when one breaks, you can combine them to repair the one.

01:19:30.000 You know, I learned that from video games, so... So it's a good idea.

01:19:33.000 They're not electric, though.

01:19:35.000 So maybe we should do, like, ethanol conversions.

01:19:38.000 Because I can tell you this, I certainly will not be able to create gasoline, but making ethanol actually ain't that difficult.

01:19:45.000 So, you know, you want to do like what the doc did in Back to the Future and just throw garbage in your tank to make it run.

01:19:51.000 Right.

01:19:52.000 That's flash graphene, man.

01:19:53.000 That's what they do.

01:19:54.000 They throw carbon trash into a little vessel and then hit it with bombarded lasers and turn it into graphene.

01:19:59.000 To quote, I think it was Dan Aykroyd.

01:20:01.000 Was it Dan Aykroyd who did that SNL skit in the 70s where he was like, Don't you want to own a $5,000 suit?

01:20:08.000 Smoke a $200 cigar?

01:20:10.000 Drive a $50,000 car?

01:20:12.000 Inflation's not bad.

01:20:13.000 He's pretending to be Jimmy Carter.

01:20:15.000 I love it.

01:20:15.000 Well, here we go.

01:20:17.000 So if you go by the inflation metrics, the calculation of the 80s, it's actually the worst inflation since World War II.

01:20:24.000 We're also seeing a ground war in Europe, which we haven't seen since World War II.

01:20:28.000 Flashbacks.

01:20:30.000 You know what kind of worries me is if these World Economic Forum people really do want a great reset, why wouldn't they advocate for a full-scale World War III?

01:20:36.000 Of course.

01:20:37.000 No fly zones.

01:20:38.000 It is absolutely infuriating to me to watch our elites talk about how unworried they are about this, because this is their fault.

01:20:47.000 This is all their fault.

01:20:48.000 The fact that we have massive inflation, which is not affecting them, entirely their fault.

01:20:52.000 Their sons will not be sent overseas, but yours might, because you're a pleb. 1.00

01:20:56.000 You don't have an electric vehicle because you can't afford it?

01:20:58.000 Too bad!

01:20:59.000 Should have thought about that before you were poor. 0.93

01:21:01.000 It's like unbelievable the level of arrogance and disconnection. 0.76

01:21:04.000 That's what makes me really mad.

01:21:05.000 Remember when Paris Hilton wore that shirt that said stop being poor?

01:21:08.000 I've seen that meme a lot lately.

01:21:09.000 It's a funny shirt, I like it.

01:21:11.000 That meme applies to a lot of people lately.

01:21:13.000 And also, what is this where we have inflation, economic downturn, and potentially World War III?

01:21:18.000 We skipped right over the Roaring Twenties.

01:21:21.000 I was expecting the Roaring 20s and they skipped right to World War 3.

01:21:25.000 We got that in 2019.

01:21:26.000 Kind of what makes me nervous when we talk about how Trump had the best economy of all time was under Trump and that kind of sentiment.

01:21:32.000 Maybe not of all time, but it reminds me of the Roaring 20s because it's like just pumping inflation.

01:21:37.000 Everything looks great, but not really.

01:21:39.000 It's because we're blowing the balloon up until it explodes.

01:21:42.000 But Ian, you're incorrect.

01:21:43.000 Unemployment was like at record lows.

01:21:46.000 They don't measure it right.

01:21:47.000 They don't measure people that aren't looking for work.

01:21:49.000 That's true, but you still had employment going down among communities in ways we haven't seen before.

01:21:55.000 I don't think it was the worst economy when it was going on, but it was inflating.

01:21:59.000 It was construed as good because it was a lot more money coming into people's pockets, but it was inflating.

01:22:04.000 That's an issue of inflation.

01:22:07.000 If everybody's rich and people don't want to work, you've got to pay more to incentivize them to work.

01:22:10.000 And that's the problem with UBI.

01:22:11.000 So one of the things that happens under a really great economy is some dude who makes $100,000 and it's the most they've made in a year.

01:22:18.000 Someone comes to him and says, you know, I want you to do this job for me.

01:22:21.000 The market rate is $2,000.

01:22:22.000 He goes, I don't need to do it.

01:22:25.000 I've already made a bunch of money this year and I'm good.

01:22:27.000 And they say, okay, how about $3,000?

01:22:28.000 Okay.

01:22:29.000 Now the demand, like, you know, it costs more to get that job because somebody already made too much money.

01:22:34.000 And that can also be a factor in driving up inflation as well.

01:22:38.000 So it's like they want to keep people poor so that they can keep prices down.

01:22:41.000 It's an interesting control they have to... this game they play with the Fed.

01:22:46.000 And so there's interesting questions.

01:22:47.000 You know, we had Will Chamberlain on.

01:22:48.000 I think it was Will talking about the gold standard.

01:22:50.000 Yes.

01:22:50.000 And he was saying, like, there are some interesting problems that happen when you have no control over the market because wild things can occur in the market.

01:22:58.000 Bringing some stability isn't necessarily a bad thing.

01:23:00.000 The problem, in my opinion, is that the whole thing is exploitative.

01:23:03.000 The whole thing is exploited.

01:23:04.000 The elites take advantage of it.

01:23:05.000 They use it to manipulate and control.

01:23:07.000 They do punitive taxing.

01:23:08.000 They say, we don't want people to smoke, so we're going to tax cigarettes.

01:23:10.000 We don't want people driving cars, we're going to tax gasoline and make it expensive.

01:23:13.000 They do things like that.

01:23:14.000 They shouldn't do that.

01:23:15.000 That's manipulating society for political agendas.

01:23:19.000 But that's how they use the monetary system to their advantage. 0.84

01:23:22.000 Or they tax people without ever officially saying that they're taxing them by printing a bunch of money and the value of everybody's savings and their current salary decreases so that we can fund other programs elsewhere, but it was never conceived of by the public as a tax.

01:23:37.000 It kind of feels like hostile takeover of the crypto market over and over again when they drive the prices down and then buy it back up.

01:23:43.000 Hostile takeovers are illegal now because they used to do it at companies and it was just so blatant.

01:23:47.000 But now with crypto, it's not a company.

01:23:49.000 It looks like an asset.

01:23:51.000 So I don't think people have realized that it's kind of the same thing that's going on.

01:23:56.000 Silver and gold are up.

01:23:58.000 I think gold.

01:23:59.000 Someone want to check the gold price?

01:24:01.000 I think it broke 2K.

01:24:01.000 Let me see.

01:24:02.000 But, you know, I think about that and I'm like, I do like gold and silver, you know, personally, to a certain degree.

01:24:09.000 But it's certainly not tracking alongside inflation.

01:24:12.000 2057.

01:24:12.000 So it's over 2000.

01:24:12.000 If it 57 2057 so it's over 2000 so it should probably like in what 2010 I think silver

01:24:21.000 had like 40 bucks.

01:24:23.000 Yeah.

01:24:24.000 That was crazy.

01:24:25.000 But if silver has been 20 bucks for 10 years, it should be way higher.

01:24:29.000 Right.

01:24:29.000 So that's why I'm kind of like, I don't know if silver is the best bet in the world.

01:24:32.000 It's better than just sitting on US dollars that are inflating, that are becoming worthless.

01:24:37.000 So I'll certainly pick some of that up, but I'm not super confident.

01:24:39.000 I'm wondering, this is a question that we've asked quite a bit.

01:24:43.000 What is a household item that is used frequently, but extremely hard to make?

01:24:50.000 And so one of the things I thought... Copper wire.

01:24:53.000 You don't go, honey, can you pick up copper wire from the hardware store for us?

01:24:57.000 Sometimes you do.

01:24:58.000 Oh, you mean if it's used every day by people, yeah.

01:25:00.000 So I was thinking antiseptics, because while it's probably not that hard to ferment certain alcohols to use as antiseptics, we use them frequently.

01:25:09.000 I mean, you use mouthwash almost every single day.

01:25:11.000 You're not supposed to do it every day, but for a lot of people, you use it a lot.

01:25:13.000 You can use alcohol and other alcohols or hydrogen peroxide for cleaning wounds and stuff like that.

01:25:19.000 So I'm thinking, what's something that's really hard for an individual themselves to make?

01:25:23.000 But we use a lot.

01:25:24.000 That will be extremely valuable.

01:25:26.000 Medicine, yeah.

01:25:27.000 Medicine, for sure.

01:25:28.000 Yeah.

01:25:29.000 We were talking on, I think it was the members' only thing, about how horse epinephrine was like 1,500th of the cost of human epinephrine, even though it's identical, same thing.

01:25:39.000 But please don't go buy horse medicine.

01:25:42.000 Yeah, we talked about that with Thomas Massey, I remember that.

01:25:44.000 They love accusing conservatives of promoting horse medicine.

01:25:47.000 I've been looking at how someone messaged me.

01:25:48.000 Joe Rogan took horse dormer.

01:25:50.000 Yeah.

01:25:51.000 Um, that you can make out, uh, fuel from wood.

01:25:54.000 It's very dirty.

01:25:55.000 And you can also make rubbing alcohol from wood distillate.

01:25:58.000 Was it, was it methanol?

01:25:59.000 So maybe, maybe rubbing alcohol is not antiseptic is not so hard.

01:26:03.000 You can't use it as mouthwash though.

01:26:05.000 That grain alcohol, I think it's just for topical stuff.

01:26:08.000 Yeah, that's why I was thinking, you know, so I was like, buy some mouthwash.

01:26:11.000 Vitamin C. Huge.

01:26:13.000 I think vitamin C might be like, there might come a point where you're buying stuff with vitamin C. Or, you know, look, if you live in certain areas, where do you get your vitamin C from?

01:26:25.000 Serious question.

01:26:26.000 For a lot of people, they take supplements, or they're getting it from... Meat.

01:26:30.000 Oranges.

01:26:30.000 From meat, actually.

01:26:31.000 How much vitamin C is in a citrus fruit?

01:26:33.000 Citrus fruits, yeah.

01:26:34.000 But those don't grow in West Virginia.

01:26:36.000 I suppose you can eat some berries and like pawpaw in September and October.

01:26:41.000 Very seasonal.

01:26:42.000 But for a lot of people, they're gonna be lacking a lot of very important vitamins.

01:26:46.000 So you could walk up and someone's gonna be all scurvy-like and they're gonna be like, I have this bottle of water.

01:26:50.000 And you'll be like, I got vitamin C. And they're gonna be like, please.

01:26:53.000 Oh, strawberries.

01:26:54.000 I'm not sure that there's much vitamin C in meat.

01:26:57.000 I've heard that in the past.

01:26:57.000 Spinach, I think.

01:26:58.000 When you're talking about vegetables, that's when you start to get it, yeah.

01:27:01.000 I wonder if it's in grass.

01:27:02.000 I'm trying to find out.

01:27:03.000 Parsley?

01:27:03.000 Boil grass and drink like a grass tea and get enough vitamin C. Where are you going to get your fats from?

01:27:10.000 In like a true apocalyptic scenario.

01:27:11.000 That's a fish.

01:27:12.000 I mean, that's a tough one.

01:27:13.000 Where are you gonna go fishing?

01:27:15.000 Not everybody can do fishing.

01:27:16.000 Are you capable of hunting?

01:27:18.000 Are you capable of fishing?

01:27:19.000 It's a good question.

01:27:20.000 Are you raising goats or cows?

01:27:21.000 Fish would be good.

01:27:22.000 But a lot of people don't understand.

01:27:23.000 So I think it was like in Venezuela, they were telling people to eat rabbits.

01:27:26.000 But that's rabbit starvation.

01:27:27.000 Because rabbits don't have a lot of fat. 0.94

01:27:29.000 So you're just getting lean protein and it's not enough.

01:27:32.000 You need those fatty acids and stuff like that.

01:27:35.000 So a lot of people don't realize this.

01:27:36.000 Americans have what I refer to as the shotgun diet. 0.99

01:27:39.000 Where they eat so much random stuff, they get everything they need, and then some.

01:27:45.000 But if you actually start paying attention to your diet, and start tracking how much you're eating and what you're eating, you'll start to realize, like, whoa.

01:27:52.000 When you actually control for what you eat, you better pay attention to where you're getting certain vitamins from.

01:27:56.000 Like, vegans have this problem with B vitamins.

01:27:58.000 Because they eat a lot of just, like, vegetables and sugars.

01:28:03.000 And a lot of people get their B vitamins, my understanding is from meat and dirt.

01:28:06.000 And they're not getting it, so you gotta take supplements.

01:28:08.000 So, I think that's one of the issues where people might experience.

01:28:12.000 Look, if gas is at $4 a gallon, record high already.

01:28:16.000 And Russia was just cut off.

01:28:18.000 What's gas gonna hit?

01:28:19.000 There's some people saying over 200 a barrel.

01:28:22.000 Russia was saying over 300 a barrel.

01:28:24.000 So that means we could be looking at like $8 to $10 a gallon for gas.

01:28:28.000 If that's the case, good luck getting anything.

01:28:31.000 Agreed.

01:28:32.000 Anything.

01:28:33.000 Because that diesel cost is gonna go way up, and that means the cost of every single item, shipping costs, are gonna double.

01:28:39.000 You wanna get something, double the shipping cost.

01:28:42.000 Inflation's gonna skyrocket, and if we get hit with hyperinflation, Man, it really does feel like the 1920s, right?

01:28:49.000 Like Germany, at least. 0.85

01:28:50.000 Tucker Carlson had a farmer on his show last week who said that because of the price increase of wheat, people could see their grocery bills go up by $1,000 a month.

01:29:00.000 That's what this farmer said.

01:29:01.000 Remember mayonnaise at Mayo Gate?

01:29:03.000 Yeah, I sure do.

01:29:05.000 During the pandemic, this is almost like a year ago now, there was a restaurant that said they were spending something like 200 bucks more per week in mayonnaise.

01:29:14.000 And the left saw the story.

01:29:17.000 No, no, I'm sorry, Republicans saw the story and then posted something like, buy inflation at work, restaurant spends 200 bucks a week for more mayonnaise.

01:29:24.000 So the left saw it and trying to argue with the Republicans, claimed the story was fake.

01:29:30.000 Because they were like, consumer prices are up 5%.

01:29:33.000 So if they're spending 200 bucks a week and that's 5%, there's no way they're spending that much money on mayonnaise.

01:29:39.000 And it was amazing because these news organizations, well, news, I do air quotes, started reporting the story saying, restaurant mocked for lying about mayonnaise costs.

01:29:47.000 So I did the unthinkable.

01:29:49.000 I called the restaurant and I said, hi, I saw a story where it said that one of your owners, partners, said that you were spending 200 bucks a week more in mayonnaise.

01:29:58.000 And you went, oh yeah, yeah, we do 10 of the tubs per week and they've gone up 20 bucks.

01:30:04.000 They've almost doubled in price.

01:30:05.000 So yeah, it's like 200 bucks a week.

01:30:07.000 And I went, okay.

01:30:08.000 I mean, that's a lot of mayonnaise though.

01:30:09.000 And he goes, well, we got a 250 person capacity restaurant.

01:30:12.000 So, you know, we typically, we're, we're, we're usually fairly full and, uh, the mayonnaise is used for, for salad dressings, for sandwiches, for dips.

01:30:20.000 So, you know, we, we go through quite a bit and I went, Oh, okay.

01:30:23.000 Good to know.

01:30:23.000 Thank you.

01:30:24.000 It's amazing how, for political reasons, they accuse some restaurant who is just telling the truth of being liars to suit their political agenda.

01:30:32.000 That's the danger of these people, to be completely honest.

01:30:34.000 I mean, anyone who points out information that's inconvenient to them has to be a bad person.

01:30:38.000 They need to assassinate their character.

01:30:40.000 I found a couple of common ways to get vitamin C in a pinch.

01:30:44.000 Dandelion greens.

01:30:46.000 Dandelion tea?

01:30:47.000 They're a weed, so they grow really fast if you want to grow those in a farm.

01:30:50.000 And pine needle tea.

01:30:52.000 Excuse me.

01:30:53.000 From pine trees.

01:30:54.000 Yeah, chicory also.

01:30:54.000 Really?

01:30:56.000 Yeah, we do have, I think, chicory around here.

01:30:58.000 Yeah, pine needles aren't that hard to come by.

01:30:59.000 We need more pine trees.

01:31:00.000 We've got the environment for it.

01:31:00.000 Yeah.

01:31:02.000 Dandelion tea, you say?

01:31:03.000 Dandelion's incredible.

01:31:04.000 It's so powerful.

01:31:05.000 Can you eat dandelions?

01:31:06.000 You can, you can.

01:31:07.000 Really?

01:31:07.000 They're really, really good for you.

01:31:08.000 Yeah.

01:31:08.000 Do they taste good?

01:31:09.000 I've never eaten one.

01:31:10.000 But when do you eat them?

01:31:11.000 Do you eat them when they're like all poofy or do you eat them when they're yellow?

01:31:15.000 You eat the greens.

01:31:16.000 So you don't eat the flour?

01:31:17.000 I don't think you eat the flour.

01:31:18.000 What if you, like, pulverize it into a flour and bake, like, cookies with it?

01:31:18.000 I don't know.

01:31:22.000 That could work.

01:31:23.000 We actually had watermelon seed flour the other day, and that was really good.

01:31:26.000 Really?

01:31:27.000 Yeah, that was interesting.

01:31:27.000 Whoa!

01:31:28.000 We made, like, a carrot cake with it.

01:31:29.000 It was a lot of fun.

01:31:30.000 Remember when we made that cricket bread?

01:31:31.000 Yeah.

01:31:32.000 It was not good.

01:31:33.000 It wasn't.

01:31:34.000 I would eat it in a pinch.

01:31:35.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:31:35.000 I would give it a... Wait, whoa, whoa.

01:31:36.000 Cricket bread?

01:31:37.000 Yeah.

01:31:37.000 Yeah, it was, like, flour made from pulverized crickets.

01:31:40.000 Interesting.

01:31:40.000 Gross.

01:31:41.000 It didn't rise properly. 0.87

01:31:42.000 Did not eat well.

01:31:43.000 It was back when they were talking about everyone's gonna eat bugs.

01:31:45.000 And then I was like, look, I gotta be honest, I have no problem eating bugs if I have to.

01:31:48.000 Because, like, I think people need to recognize that life is not candy canes and rainbows.

01:31:54.000 Like, sometimes you gotta eat bugs.

01:31:55.000 And honestly, when they're like, you will live in the pod, I'm like, depending on where the pod is, I would not mind, like, a treehouse, small, little living situation.

01:32:03.000 And, you know, being responsible.

01:32:05.000 You can actually buy crickets as a snack, too.

01:32:08.000 They don't taste good.

01:32:11.000 Well, so I remember one time, so when I was at The Caller, we did this video for our subscribers where we had a, because it was like when, you know, it was like going off of the, you will not eat, I will not eat bugs, I will not live in a pod thing.

01:32:24.000 We actually ate some crickets and we bought them.

01:32:26.000 They flavor them.

01:32:27.000 You can buy them in like the same types of flavors that you do like potato chips.

01:32:30.000 and I had some and they didn't taste bad they just when you eat it you feel like it all on your tongue

01:32:38.000 and that's like what was if it's really if I don't yeah and that was like the worst part about it

01:32:43.000 for me at least we so I purposefully then ordered a bag of cricket flour and Ian made a cricket bread

01:32:49.000 it was kind of nutty but too bitter And so Ian actually mixed flour in with it because the cricket won't rise.

01:32:57.000 One of the things we could do though, and I think we could try it.

01:33:00.000 No, no, no, it needs more egg.

01:33:03.000 Because the egg can help it rise, and some rising agent.

01:33:06.000 So I would give the cricket bread like a D+.

01:33:09.000 Meaning like, you could eat it and probably just, you'd be like, meh.

01:33:14.000 You could probably mix it in with like a flour bread and then get a lot of protein out of that, that way.

01:33:19.000 Yeah, you can get cricket cookies that I hear are actually pretty good.

01:33:22.000 The thing about the bread is that there's not a lot of flavor or sugar in it, so you're just getting the astringent cricket-ness of it.

01:33:28.000 But I gotta be honest, like, I tell you this, and this is true of everybody listening as well, if push came to shove, and you were starving, and someone walked over to you with a bunch of roaches, you'd be like, oh, thank you so much, and you would chow down.

01:33:41.000 And you'd probably, it would be the most delicious thing you've ever tasted.

01:33:44.000 No, for real, like, you know how food tastes better when you're hungry?

01:33:46.000 Yep.

01:33:47.000 And then, my thing is, you ever have corned beef hash for breakfast?

01:33:51.000 Yes.

01:33:52.000 For me, like, the first bite is amazing, the second bite is pretty good, the third bite is okay, and the fourth bite, I'm like, okay, now I'm done.

01:33:59.000 Like, it's just very salty and strong, and like, the first bite is like, oh, so good.

01:34:04.000 When you're hungry, food tastes good.

01:34:06.000 And so, give it a couple days.

01:34:08.000 Don't eat for one day, have no access to food, and I will walk up to you with a bag of grubs, and you'll be like, they will taste delicious, you'll love it.

01:34:16.000 Yeonmi Park, she escaped North Korea, and man, when she was talking about the starvation that people are experiencing in North Korea, they can't think straight, they can't even question the government because all they do is search for food.

01:34:26.000 Like, there's people on the side of the road looking for food, there's people dying on the side of the road from starvation.

01:34:31.000 That's pretty horrifying to think about.

01:34:33.000 Oh yeah, flip it over.

01:34:33.000 You take planks of wood and you press them into the ground and then the next day you come out and you lift it up, take

01:34:39.000 the bugs, eat them, and then move the plank to a new spot.

01:34:42.000 That's a really good idea.

01:34:44.000 Yeah.

01:34:45.000 And so that's what Steve Rene was telling us about chickens.

01:34:48.000 That if you want to feed your chickens and make it cheap, you just put different planks of wood, you know, out.

01:34:53.000 That's clever.

01:34:54.000 And then you come out and when the chickens are out, you lift up the wood and they all run and eat the bugs.

01:34:58.000 Then you move the plank to another spot.

01:35:00.000 You move them all and the next day you do the same thing because the bugs keep going underneath them.

01:35:03.000 There you go.

01:35:04.000 This is our this is our future.

01:35:07.000 Yeah. Post a lot.

01:35:08.000 Apocalyptic world.

01:35:09.000 It's also our past.

01:35:10.000 I got to be honest.

01:35:10.000 Yeah.

01:35:11.000 I got no problem with with being responsible.

01:35:14.000 Look, I'm not saying everybody should be eating bugs and stuff

01:35:16.000 like that. But my view is kind of like if we all

01:35:19.000 had to be a little bit more responsible for ourselves, the food

01:35:22.000 we eat. I think it's a good thing.

01:35:23.000 Yes.

01:35:23.000 So we've got chickens.

01:35:24.000 We have too many eggs.

01:35:26.000 We gotta start giving them away.

01:35:27.000 We're incubating 56 eggs right now because we have too many.

01:35:31.000 Can they be stored, frozen and stored?

01:35:33.000 You can store them.

01:35:34.000 It's called glassing, I think it's called.

01:35:35.000 And they can be stored for a couple years.

01:35:38.000 I was just watching Grizzly Man last night.

01:35:40.000 You guys ever see that Grizzly Man movie?

01:35:42.000 That guy that went to the... He went up north somewhere and lived with the grizzlies.

01:35:47.000 And then one of the grizzlies ate him.

01:35:49.000 And it's on video.

01:35:51.000 Werner Herzog did a documentary about it.

01:35:53.000 And the guy's like screaming for his life.

01:35:55.000 Yeah, nature's no joke.

01:35:56.000 Why did the grizzly eat him?

01:35:57.000 Uh, he was hungry.

01:35:58.000 He went up there during the feeding times before hibernation.

01:36:01.000 He defied all the logic and was like, they're my friends.

01:36:04.000 You guys gotta watch Grizzly Man.

01:36:05.000 Wait, wait, wait.

01:36:06.000 Did he have a relationship with the Grizzlies?

01:36:07.000 He thought he did.

01:36:08.000 He was like, they're my friends.

01:36:09.000 Except for the machine, who I don't trust, and it was the machine that ate him.

01:36:13.000 It's really horrifying.

01:36:13.000 And his girlfriend.

01:36:14.000 It ate his girlfriend.

01:36:15.000 It's on video.

01:36:17.000 They didn't take the lens cap off.

01:36:18.000 It was just recording the audio.

01:36:19.000 Wow.

01:36:20.000 And you can hear him screaming and everything.

01:36:21.000 That's brutal.

01:36:21.000 Wow.

01:36:21.000 Oh my gosh.

01:36:22.000 Hippies.

01:36:22.000 I'm screaming everything for like a minutes. It's just like that bears taking its time like nature is not a joke

01:36:28.000 You do not want to be you versus the elements. We're lucky and when the ammo runs out

01:36:31.000 They didn't take any defensive weapons. They were like, no, we're not gonna even have bear spray

01:36:35.000 He truly believed I'm trying to I'm trying to figure out you know things to buy that will need I bought a katana

01:36:44.000 Is that something we'll need?

01:36:45.000 Like in the apocalypse?

01:36:46.000 Like train in the ways of the sword?

01:36:48.000 Maybe like 20 machetes.

01:36:49.000 Yeah, doesn't need ammunition.

01:36:51.000 So this katana was like 50 bucks.

01:36:54.000 And it's really sharp.

01:36:55.000 It's probably not good.

01:36:56.000 No.

01:36:57.000 But it probably works for a little bit.

01:36:58.000 I'd save it for home defense, to be honest, against, like, animals.

01:37:01.000 Stuff like crazy, like raccoons and stuff.

01:37:03.000 Probably just use it for clearing brush and going bushwhacking or something.

01:37:05.000 I mean, look, I'm no defense expert or prepper expert, but I would definitely recommend that people try to get non-perishables. 0.98

01:37:13.000 That could last them for quite a while, even if you don't have the money to buy large bulks of it right now.

01:37:19.000 We're getting to the point where it could be too late soon, so at least every time you go to the grocery store, maybe buy some extra cans if that's all you can afford.

01:37:26.000 And I'll add this as well.

01:37:28.000 People are really blackmailed about the economy and the direction it's going to go in.

01:37:32.000 And it very well could get really, really ugly really quickly.

01:37:35.000 And that's not something that I want for this country, but I'll say this.

01:37:39.000 Your grandparents and great-grandparents who lived through the Great Depression are probably better people than you and they're probably more virtuous because of it.

01:37:46.000 So even though we might be facing really hard times, hard times do make strong men.

01:37:51.000 Correct.

01:37:54.000 You should hope and pray that you're able to make it through whatever is to come with strength and dignity.

01:37:59.000 All right, let's go to Super Chats.

01:38:01.000 If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends.

01:38:04.000 Head over to TimCast.com.

01:38:05.000 We're gonna have a member segment coming up for you around 11 or so p.m., but let's read what you guys got going on.

01:38:11.000 All right, let's see.

01:38:13.000 NotMyRegret says, it's terrible in Michigan too.

01:38:16.000 Saw $4.55 unleaded and $6.22 diesel.

01:38:21.000 It's close to over a dollar in the span of two days.

01:38:24.000 I remember when I was a kid, premium, it was like a nickel difference.

01:38:28.000 It was like $0.05 a gallon difference for premium, mid-range, and then for like regular, middle, and then premium.

01:38:35.000 And then after the price spike, it went to like a $0.10 difference.

01:38:37.000 Now I'm seeing a $0.50 difference.

01:38:39.000 I saw, like look at the pictures, it's like $6, then like $6.30, then $7 or whatever.

01:38:44.000 So it's like the gap between the grades is getting crazier.

01:38:47.000 I wonder sometimes how much the price is going up is purely because of inflation and how much if it's opportunistic by the companies masking it with inflation and just Trying to make more profit.

01:38:57.000 Talking gas prices?

01:38:58.000 Just prices in general going up.

01:39:00.000 I think in this time of inflation it would be very beneficial for them to keep their prices as low as possible.

01:39:05.000 I know that there's been arguments from the Biden administration, for example, that they're doing this because of greed but then the question is did they just start getting greedy after you guys printed trillions of dollars?

01:39:13.000 Huh.

01:39:15.000 All right, let's see.

01:39:16.000 Someone chatted.

01:39:17.000 And this isn't a super chat, but it's a good chat with alerts.

01:39:19.000 And it says, Tim, you're wrong on bugs.

01:39:21.000 A journalist tried to do 30 days of eating bugs.

01:39:24.000 Even when starving, she couldn't do it and wanted to die instead.

01:39:27.000 Yikes.

01:39:28.000 Well, all right then.

01:39:29.000 Yeah, you need fish.

01:39:31.000 OMG Puppy says, Victoria Newland is deeply to blame for the conflict in Ukraine today.

01:39:35.000 Look at Oliver Stone's documentary, Ukraine on Fire.

01:39:37.000 It's on YouTube, Rumble, and Vimeo.

01:39:39.000 Interesting.

01:39:41.000 Brian Bova says Nostradamus was right to the zombie apocalypse starts in Russia.

01:39:46.000 What if it is a zombie apocalypse?

01:39:47.000 If you're in a zombie apocalypse and you find a dead body on the ground, if you didn't put an arrow in its head, it's probably still alive.

01:39:54.000 I'm sorry, I just, I get so tired of watching zombie movies, or honestly any movie, where it's like they're fighting a bad guy, and they don't finish the bad guy off, be it a zombie or otherwise.

01:40:03.000 It's like, dude, this creature, this undead thing is attacking you, and they'll like, hit it, and it falls down, and then they'll be like, alright everybody, let's uh, oh no, it's biting me now!

01:40:13.000 And it's like, well yeah, what'd you think was gonna happen?

01:40:16.000 And then they never ever call them zombies in zombie movies.

01:40:19.000 Yeah, well, in some they do.

01:40:21.000 It's very rare.

01:40:22.000 What movie was it where they duct taped magazines to their arms?

01:40:27.000 Oh, for armor?

01:40:28.000 That's good scratch armor, yeah.

01:40:30.000 Slashing protection.

01:40:30.000 Well, you can't bite through it.

01:40:32.000 But the funny thing is, biting is actually a really awful way to transmit diseases.

01:40:36.000 So it's just like a bad theme anyway. 0.98

01:40:39.000 To be fair, the human mouth is disgusting.

01:40:42.000 There was also, in the movie Zombieland with Jesse Eisenberg, he always had the rule where he always had to double tap every zombie that he killed.

01:40:49.000 That's right.

01:40:50.000 Interesting.

01:40:50.000 Great rule.

01:40:51.000 Alright, let's grab a Super Chat.

01:40:53.000 EZQ says, we got 1.5 trillion omnibus bill consisting of several thousand pages whose text has yet to be released.

01:41:02.000 Congress to vote on it by tomorrow night at least.

01:41:05.000 Alright, look, I don't know how this stuff works, but Marjorie, can you just, like, slide in a ban- a repeal the, like, abolish the ATF just right in the middle?

01:41:13.000 They'll sign it!

01:41:13.000 They're not gonna read it!

01:41:15.000 There you go!

01:41:16.000 ATF gone!

01:41:16.000 Repeal the NFA!

01:41:18.000 Gone!

01:41:18.000 Yeah, well, this is how DC works.

01:41:20.000 They pass these bills that are, like, gajillion pages long that nobody's read that's written in the dead of night by lobbyists and special interests.

01:41:27.000 That's how our government works.

01:41:28.000 We're not governed by Congress.

01:41:29.000 We're governed by special interests in Washington, DC.

01:41:32.000 Yep.

01:41:33.000 All right.

01:41:34.000 And also, like, this was a, you know, this was a thing that my friends at American Principles Project were highlighting today, which is that the Democrats are trying to put their new version of the Violence Against Women's Act into this omnibus bill.

01:41:46.000 Now, that's a misnomer for the title, because part of the bill is any women's shelter that doesn't allow biological men has their funding taken away.

01:41:55.000 Does that sound like preventing violence against women to you?

01:41:57.000 No!

01:41:57.000 That's crazy!

01:41:58.000 Let's read some more.

01:42:00.000 We got Janis Partridge who says, it is already the 9th of March in New Zealand.

01:42:03.000 So happy birthday, New Zealand time, Tim.

01:42:04.000 Thank you very much.

01:42:05.000 Tomorrow is my birthday.

01:42:06.000 Happy birthday.

01:42:07.000 Happy birthday, Tim.

01:42:08.000 Happy birthday.

01:42:09.000 Jerry Wells says, almost every country has biolabs. 1.00

01:42:11.000 Just depends on the research being conducted in them.

01:42:13.000 I completely agree.

01:42:14.000 That is a true statement.

01:42:16.000 And that's why the problem is these fact checks need to be thorough and break down the issues.

01:42:23.000 Like, yes, there are biolabs here.

01:42:26.000 Russia has issued statements of concern.

01:42:28.000 We don't believe they're genuine.

01:42:30.000 These are not included in Putin's demands.

01:42:33.000 These don't appear to be funded by the U.S.

01:42:34.000 I think that's all fine.

01:42:35.000 Are they weapon labs?

01:42:36.000 Unconfirmed.

01:42:37.000 Right.

01:42:37.000 What are they?

01:42:38.000 Well, they did say that it was like food and drug stuff, you know, so.

01:42:43.000 All right, let's grab some Super Chats.

01:42:46.000 Dark Soul Poetry says, F Ukraine, F NATO, F the old imperialist club from the EU.

01:42:52.000 Well, there you go.

01:42:53.000 That's one way to put it.

01:42:54.000 Beast.

01:42:55.000 Tell us how you really feel.

01:42:58.000 Jack Sparrow says, But, but, it's, it's, you know, perhaps.

01:43:11.000 Let's get to the point of that story.

01:43:12.000 We can certainly have our opinions on it, I agree.

01:43:14.000 I want to be precise because I want to have the discussion around the biolabs.

01:43:17.000 I want to have the discussion around what Russia's motivations are, and then we can investigate them and figure out what exactly was going on, right? 0.98

01:43:24.000 I do also want to say, I'll add to your point, if you think Ukraine, the only country to get poor after leaving the Soviet Union, is actually beating Russia in a ground war, then you are a fool. 0.54

01:43:38.000 Maybe it's a little bit harsh, but they keep saying like, oh, Ukraine's winning and they're doing this. 0.87

01:43:41.000 Yeah, it's because NATO is supporting them.

01:43:44.000 They call it the borderland, the Ukraine, Ukraine borderland, because I believe in the past, the empires of the West, the French and the English and the empires of the East, the Russians, the Ottomans would fight in the border land.

01:43:55.000 They all agreed, we're going to fight here because it's flat.

01:43:58.000 And then if we level the universe, if we level it to the ground, we're going to level Ukraine, the borderlands and not our home territory. 0.98

01:44:04.000 So it's just like a torn war zone, man.

01:44:06.000 And for that, for them to actually be defending that flat land, they're going to need massive amount of help.

01:44:11.000 Alright, Beef Nasty says, just make a Zeppelin, Tim.

01:44:14.000 I did.

01:44:15.000 We created the Let's Go Brandon Blint.

01:44:17.000 We flew it already.

01:44:19.000 Had live cameras on and everything.

01:44:21.000 Where's the update, Wikipedia?

01:44:22.000 How come people haven't gone to Wikipedia and put back in that I invented a Zeppelin?

01:44:27.000 You see how it works?

01:44:28.000 When I don't invent the Zeppelin, they claim I do, and then when I do, they won't put it back in!

01:44:33.000 That's messed up.

01:44:33.000 Well, you guys have heard it.

01:44:35.000 I did.

01:44:35.000 It's on Castcastle Vlog.

01:44:37.000 You can take the video and you can put on Wikipedia, Tim Pool did invent a zeppelin and put a flag on it.

01:44:42.000 Actually, it was Luke's idea.

01:44:44.000 Let's go, Brandon.

01:44:45.000 There you go.

01:44:47.000 The KL Tanker says, did you know on your Spotify podcast are ads for CNN and YourTurn.gov vaccines?

01:44:57.000 That's absolutely fine. 0.97

01:44:58.000 I'm glad that CNN is buying ads on my show, and then I can take that money to fund a show where I say that CNN is trash and complete garbage, and you shouldn't watch it. 0.94

01:45:07.000 Thanks for the money, CNN. 0.94

01:45:08.000 I always think it's funny, the activists who are like, no, that's people who are advertising on their show.

01:45:12.000 Yeah, it's CNN.

01:45:13.000 Congratulations.

01:45:14.000 Go complain to them.

01:45:16.000 I'm pretty sure if you went to CNN and said, you know, you're advertising on Tim Pool's show, they'd be like, maybe we don't want to do that.

01:45:21.000 Or maybe they do, actually.

01:45:23.000 When Bloomberg was advertising on my YouTube channels, it's kind of the channel he wants to advertise on, because I'm ragging on him all the time, and so he needs to be able to say his piece.

01:45:32.000 Sure, I guess.

01:45:35.000 That's an interesting thing about the way ads are run today.

01:45:40.000 If we're doing direct sales, because this happens all the time, I get an email from our sales rep and they'll be like, would you want to sponsor from this?

01:45:46.000 This is the reason we have very few sponsors.

01:45:48.000 Why it's mostly like Biotrust, Virtual Shield, and maybe a couple other companies here and there.

01:45:53.000 Because they'll reach out and be like, do you want to read this?

01:45:55.000 And I'll say no.

01:45:56.000 But with YouTube and with podcast automated ads, I don't control it.

01:46:01.000 It's totally third party that, you know, makes the ad buys and does the positioning.

01:46:05.000 So I'm just like, I guess it was CNN this time.

01:46:08.000 Whatever.

01:46:10.000 Group B says, Tim, remember when Trump gave a speech at the UN General Assembly about how the Germans were captive to Russia on gas?

01:46:17.000 Or Trump-NATO summit about energy deals with Russia.

01:46:19.000 Both took place in 2018.

01:46:20.000 Oh, I certainly remember those.

01:46:22.000 That's right.

01:46:22.000 That's why it's always hilarious to me when people say that Trump weakened our alliance with NATO.

01:46:28.000 All he ever wanted them to do was stop outsourcing their energy production to Russia and actually pay the 2% of their GDP to defense that they're supposed to.

01:46:36.000 And that's been interpreted as weakening NATO.

01:46:39.000 I'm CIA says you owe retraction on Kony 2012.

01:46:42.000 Last night's show you claimed Jason Russell gripped himself in public.

01:46:45.000 This was an exaggeration by the press.

01:46:47.000 See Internet Historian's story of Kony 2012 video.

01:46:50.000 He didn't grab himself in any way.

01:46:52.000 I don't know.

01:46:52.000 I don't know anything about it.

01:46:53.000 I didn't say he was tubing it.

01:46:57.000 No, I could have sworn there was a video of him, like, holding himself.

01:47:00.000 You know what I mean?

01:47:01.000 Yeah, Invisible Children boss Jason Russell arrested for doing it to himself in public.

01:47:06.000 But that could be the manipulation.

01:47:09.000 Was he just holding his, you know, hoo-hoo? 0.63

01:47:12.000 He was probably tripping and took all his clothes off and ran outside and was running around like a monkey.

01:47:16.000 I don't know.

01:47:20.000 There's video of him.

01:47:21.000 Yeah, I know.

01:47:22.000 That's why I'm like, yeah, he was, you know, holding himself.

01:47:25.000 That's why I said gripping.

01:47:27.000 Yeah.

01:47:27.000 Like, I don't know what else to say, you know?

01:47:29.000 Gripping.

01:47:32.000 All right.

01:47:32.000 Bill, Billy Warren says, Tim, Ian and Seamus are correct.

01:47:34.000 Take a look at Oliver Stone's documentary, Ukraine on Fire.

01:47:37.000 It'll explain exactly what the U.S., Gloria Newland and the State Department did there.

01:47:41.000 You mean Victoria?

01:47:42.000 Oh, it's probably voice text.

01:47:43.000 Victoria Newland.

01:47:44.000 Oh, yeah.

01:47:47.000 Mr. Mystery says Tim's Biden is way more accurate than Seamus's.

01:47:51.000 Come on, man.

01:47:55.000 Well, anyway.

01:47:57.000 All right, Tim, now do yours.

01:47:58.000 I've never heard it before.

01:47:59.000 Oh, I can't.

01:47:59.000 I can't.

01:48:00.000 I can't.

01:48:00.000 I can only spontaneously do it.

01:48:02.000 Part of why I love Oliver Stone and this Ukraine on Fire, why I'm excited about Ukraine on Fire, is because he was in Vietnam. 0.55

01:48:07.000 I think he got drafted.

01:48:07.000 He might have joined, enlisted.

01:48:09.000 But he was over there, and he truly believed in the mission and the government and everything, and realized while he was there how messed up it is in the operation.

01:48:14.000 Northwoods came out, and he was like a vocal proponent of false flags and the effery that goes on politically with war.

01:48:23.000 Here we go.

01:48:23.000 Agreeing Clover says, civilian contractor.

01:48:26.000 Here, I've been to Qatar and saw someone fall during construction and no one bet in an eye.

01:48:31.000 Wild West out there.

01:48:32.000 Yikes.

01:48:34.000 Shout out to FIFA.

01:48:35.000 Man, you're doing the world a great service.

01:48:38.000 And Victor Rodriguez says, former Apple employee.

01:48:40.000 Hated them.

01:48:41.000 Macs absolutely can get viruses.

01:48:42.000 Mac OS is compartmentalized, so viruses are usually contained to the download folder and end up being forced pop-ups and redirects.

01:48:50.000 Interesting.

01:48:51.000 It was based on Unix, by the way.

01:48:52.000 Yeah.

01:48:53.000 Yeah.

01:48:53.000 They just, it's, it's like obvious, you know, which I've never, I've never liked Apple.

01:48:59.000 And I'm just like, my friends are like, I'm going to spend a thousand dollars on a computer with the processing power of another computer that costs $300.

01:49:04.000 And I'm like, why are you doing that?

01:49:05.000 Like I have student loans.

01:49:06.000 I don't care.

01:49:07.000 And now they're like, pay off my student loans.

01:49:08.000 And I'm like, no.

01:49:09.000 They were vastly incompatible with gaming in the 90s when I was getting into PC gaming, and it was just such a turn-off and a bad taste.

01:49:15.000 I got the iPhone because it was the first smartphone, but then I immediately switched to Android when they started doing it.

01:49:20.000 Apple was like, you can't take the battery out of the phone.

01:49:22.000 It was freakish.

01:49:23.000 What was it in the 90s?

01:49:24.000 They had the PowerPC processor instead of Intel, right?

01:49:27.000 And so they couldn't run anything cooler.

01:49:28.000 You talking about Windows?

01:49:29.000 No, I'm talking about, yeah, Apple did not have Intel processors until the MacBook.

01:49:34.000 And now they're not on Intel anymore.

01:49:36.000 I remember when Pentium II came out.

01:49:40.000 Turbo button on a computer.

01:49:41.000 Yeah.

01:49:42.000 Yeah turbo button.

01:49:43.000 I don't know.

01:49:43.000 What did it do overclock?

01:49:46.000 Like why not use it then I don't understand like why have it off probably because your computer overheats.

01:49:51.000 Did it just make games play super fast or something?

01:49:54.000 I remember we went to Best Buy and we got a computer that was like 13 gig hard drive.

01:49:58.000 Oh, I got it.

01:49:58.000 And we were like, dude, it's crazy.

01:50:00.000 So I remember this was 2005.

01:50:02.000 I was a little 10 year old boy at Fry's Electronics with my dad.

01:50:06.000 And he handed me a little USB flash drive off the shelf.

01:50:12.000 And he said, Seamus, this can store as much as 82 floppy disks.

01:50:16.000 And I was like, what?

01:50:18.000 I was like, can we have it?

01:50:19.000 He's like, yeah, just put your school assignments and stuff on it.

01:50:22.000 I was like, my goodness, there's a little 82 megabyte flash drive.

01:50:25.000 Not like an 82 megabyte flash drive.

01:50:26.000 What would you even do with that?

01:50:28.000 Remember, didn't they make floppies?

01:50:30.000 Like floppies that had like 200 megabytes on them or something?

01:50:34.000 It was like towards the end.

01:50:35.000 Yeah, no one who was using them, but it was just like they had these super high-capacity floppy floppy disks.

01:50:40.000 Oh, yeah, I think tape tape drivers tape disks are still very useful for backing stuff up because they don't degrade.

01:50:46.000 The first computer I ever put together I got parts from a thrift store and it was a Windows 3.1 with a tape drive.

01:50:52.000 I'm looking up the turbo button a little.

01:50:53.000 It says here, uh, the turbo button selects one of two run states.

01:50:56.000 Default, normal speed, or reduced turbo speed, uh, from the mid-90s.

01:51:01.000 Well, yeah, didn't they have, there was like, um, there was this new format.

01:51:06.000 They looked like floppies.

01:51:07.000 I don't think they would function in a regular floppy disk drive, but they could store up to 200 megabytes.

01:51:11.000 You need, like, a separate attachment.

01:51:12.000 This is the contrary to what it suggests.

01:51:14.000 The turbo button, uh, lets a computer run slower than the speed for which it had been designed.

01:51:19.000 That's interesting.

01:51:20.000 Increases the engine's power and efficiency.

01:51:22.000 I do not agree.

01:51:30.000 I think the issue with a flat tax is that the richer you are, the less you need to survive.

01:51:36.000 So the issue is, for every dollar you earn over, well at this point with inflation, I mean, I don't know what the median number is going to be.

01:51:43.000 But let's say you need $100,000 to have all your basic needs met.

01:51:47.000 That means someone who makes less than that isn't having their basic needs met, but they're still being taxed.

01:51:52.000 Then let's say you make $100,000.

01:51:53.000 That means you're having your basic needs met, and you're paying taxes.

01:51:57.000 For a rich person who's making $200,000, you now have $100,000 on top of your salary, after taxes, however much, $60,000 or $70,000, to do with whatever you want.

01:52:08.000 Like buy extra hard assets very easily.

01:52:10.000 Hedge your bets and start generating wealth very very easily.

01:52:14.000 This makes it extremely easy for people who exponentially increase their wealth to increase their wealth further and gain more and more power in the system.

01:52:21.000 The arguments I've heard from the libertarian right is that it's a good thing if people learn how to use the system to gain power because they have the merit to learn how to control the system.

01:52:29.000 My argument is I don't like individuals having disproportionate amounts of power just based on the fact they have money in the first place because some of these people didn't earn the money they inherited it and then they never have to worry about earning anything and you end up with legacies running governments or running corporations and that's not a good thing.

01:52:45.000 How you solve for it I don't exactly know but I think that at the very least progressive taxes look I'll put it this way I have money and I pay a I've been insane amount of taxes, and it's like man people only knew like how crazy taxes get at the highest brackets It is insane well over 50% They want to talk about American text early 35 now They have no idea what they're talking about Because when you're running a company you're doing these things you get taxed every step of the way when you're buying the equipment you need when you're when you're when you're paying employee salaries when you're paying yourself the taxes are massive and

01:53:16.000 Someone will buy an ad for this company, for a sponsor spot, will read it, and of the money we get, more than half goes to taxes in some way.

01:53:24.000 Jeez!

01:53:24.000 It's insane.

01:53:25.000 But!

01:53:26.000 But!

01:53:28.000 We're making it work.

01:53:28.000 Yeah, we live in the best country on Earth with massive, awesome stuff all around us.

01:53:33.000 I want to make a point here, regardless of how you feel about having a flat tax or a progressive tax, you mentioned inflation and income brackets, and this is going to be something that you have to look out for in the future here.

01:53:44.000 Back in the 80s, after the inflation of the 70s, Reagan came along and he adjusted the tax code because we had a progressive tax code.

01:53:54.000 And so there were people who, prior to the 70s, were making significantly higher amounts of money than they would need to survive, so they were taxed at a higher rate.

01:54:01.000 But after the 70s, because inflation had gotten so bad, people who were in that income bracket were not necessarily wealthy anymore.

01:54:08.000 So he adjusted those brackets and he was accused of slashing taxes for doing that. Now he did cut taxes in

01:54:14.000 other ways, but it was argued that that was this horrible regressive thing to do. So I want people

01:54:19.000 to watch out for this. As inflation gets worse and as it becomes more expensive to survive,

01:54:26.000 people are going to be pushed into higher income brackets that have a higher taxation level when they're

01:54:33.000 really just breaking even or making So the taxation level should go up.

01:54:37.000 And when a conservative comes along to try to adjust that, they're going to accuse him of slashing taxes and they're going to say, in this environment where so many people are going hungry, how could you even think about cutting taxes on the rich?

01:54:49.000 I think wealth taxes make no sense. 0.99

01:54:52.000 Stupidest idea I've ever heard. 0.83

01:54:54.000 But I think the higher brackets need a higher percentage and we have to stretch and adjust which means like what kind of what you're saying for a certain income level maybe around like the two hundred thousands we lower the taxes and then for over half a million to a million you slightly increase and then for like you know a million to five million it goes up and then for like five million to fifteen it goes up the issue is that I think the tax bracket stops at what like 250 250 million? 0.98

01:55:19.000 No.

01:55:19.000 Thousand.

01:55:20.000 Oh.

01:55:21.000 Yeah.

01:55:22.000 I think it's like, no, it might be, yeah, I think it's like two, I think what's the last bracket, like 250?

01:55:26.000 Might be, it might be like 500.

01:55:27.000 So that means somebody who's making, um, in terms of income, like 13 to 14 million a year, these CEOs, like Colbert, I think it's 16.

01:55:35.000 Some people are getting 50 depending on the contracts they have, um, depending on what industry they work in.

01:55:40.000 They're paying the same percentage as somebody who's making $200,000.

01:55:42.000 That's one of the problems I have.

01:55:44.000 It's not an issue of the progressive or flat tax.

01:55:47.000 It's that if you're going to do it, you've got to do it right.

01:55:49.000 You want to have a flat tax?

01:55:50.000 Okay, fine, man.

01:55:50.000 Far be it from me to argue.

01:55:51.000 I'll have more money.

01:55:52.000 You want to do a progressive tax?

01:55:53.000 Well, then you need to keep going with the progressive taxes.

01:55:56.000 Mm-hmm.

01:55:57.000 So this is interesting.

01:55:57.000 I was looking into what the brackets are, and we have an article on the IRS website or a page saying that they're providing tax inflation adjustments for 2022, which is sort of a start, but I'm very curious to see how they're adjusting it, considering based on the way that our government actually measures inflation, they don't really give you the full picture.

01:56:16.000 What do you guys think about the whole taxation is theft?

01:56:19.000 Oh, sorry, I thought you were done.

01:56:19.000 No, no, I guess my point is we are still going to need adjustments to the tax code because of inflation.

01:56:25.000 My issue is, as much as I can be like, I understand the idea of a progressive tax to kind of curtail the power of private individuals who accumulate too much.

01:56:34.000 We don't want to stop them from ever being able to work, but we do want to make sure that, you know, we're constraining inequality.

01:56:40.000 When inequality gets, one of the precursors to societal collapse is inequality.

01:56:45.000 I know a lot of people maybe don't like the idea, but it's true. 1.00

01:56:49.000 When the wealthy have too much power, disproportionate power, and are saying things like, just buy an electric car, yo, you get people losing their minds.

01:56:58.000 People right now, I'm telling you man, you got people who are like, I can't buy gas.

01:57:02.000 And Colbert being like, I drive a Tesla, I don't care.

01:57:04.000 Yeah, people are gonna be like, okay, that's it.

01:57:08.000 These powerful elites are screwing us over.

01:57:10.000 Biden is halting gas leases for climate change issues.

01:57:14.000 And then someone's going to start screaming.

01:57:16.000 So you need to have some way to like constrain these issues.

01:57:20.000 The problem is giving the money to the government doesn't solve the problem.

01:57:23.000 Yeah.

01:57:23.000 Being like, we want to make sure that ultra rich people aren't saying, let them eat cake.

01:57:27.000 But the problem is giving money to the government just recycles the money among the elites because elites, it doesn't matter if you're in corporation or government, they're all big.

01:57:33.000 They're all, they're, they're all birds of a feather flocking together up top.

01:57:35.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:57:36.000 I used to be extremely libertarian, and at this point I don't necessarily have the same argument from principle about certain forms of taxation, but ultimately I still don't trust anyone in government to spend the money better than a wealthy person would if you just left them alone with it.

01:57:49.000 How do you justify owing the Federal Reserve more money than we have?

01:57:53.000 That's a good question, yeah.

01:57:56.000 I'm not sure.

01:57:56.000 I'm not sure how you'd answer that.

01:57:58.000 Let's read some more Super Chats here.

01:58:00.000 Murph says, I heard a retiring general contractor say once, don't be surprised that if one day plumbers and carpenters start making more than heart surgeons, skilled master laborers will be in high demand.

01:58:11.000 Absolutely.

01:58:11.000 Well, geez, heart surgery is pretty skilled labor.

01:58:14.000 But I see where your point.

01:58:15.000 Jeremy Weehan says spruce has vitamin C. Oh, good to know.

01:58:18.000 All right.

01:58:19.000 We have a bunch of crazy berries out here.

01:58:21.000 We have winter berries.

01:58:22.000 There's a tree that, in the winter, drops berries all winter.

01:58:25.000 That's really good.

01:58:26.000 I didn't know that was a thing.

01:58:27.000 The chickens go nuts for it, though.

01:58:28.000 You know, whatever.

01:58:29.000 We also, in the summer, we have wine berries everywhere.

01:58:32.000 Yeah, those are good.

01:58:33.000 Everywhere.

01:58:34.000 It's crazy.

01:58:34.000 You walk outside, it's like a red, like just red everywhere, and you can walk up and just take them and eat them.

01:58:38.000 I saw a guy pull over on the side of the highway, get out of his car, hop over, and just grab a bunch and get back in his car and start eating them.

01:58:43.000 It was crazy.

01:58:45.000 Alright, Pardaxilus says, Good reporting from Elad on the People's Convoy.

01:58:50.000 Was only able to find his videos on Timcast's website.

01:58:53.000 Is this on purpose? Seems like a failure to promote them.

01:58:56.000 Maybe a Timcast Reports YouTube channel is in order.

01:58:58.000 I think we put them on Rumble, cause we don't want them on...

01:59:03.000 I don't know.

01:59:04.000 Maybe we shouldn't think about it.

01:59:04.000 We put them on the website.

01:59:06.000 And honestly, we're trying to produce more content for the website that is substantive and valuable for people.

01:59:12.000 So as a member at TimCast.com, you are funding this kind of reporting from our reporters on the ground.

01:59:18.000 And it was expensive.

01:59:19.000 Absolutely expensive, as we expected it would be.

01:59:22.000 But it's okay.

01:59:24.000 Let me just let everybody in on an industry secret.

01:59:27.000 The coverage that we did of the People's Convoy from when we started to when it finished, I think it's still technically ongoing, cost us a lot, thousands, and has made us nothing.

01:59:40.000 We don't, we don't, we don't generate money off of like ad revenue from it.

01:59:44.000 And technically we could argue because we're mostly a membership website, it's just a component of what makes the site valuable for you as a member.

01:59:52.000 But, uh, it's free content.

01:59:53.000 So that's why I just say, look, we, we take money and we spend it on doing good reporting and getting good reporters out there to talk to people and be honest about what's happening.

02:00:00.000 And that's expensive.

02:00:02.000 I don't expect to make a lot of money.

02:00:03.000 I expect to make a great website where people want to support us and they become members because, because, uh, we do good work.

02:00:10.000 There you go.

02:00:11.000 All right, let's grab a few more of these.

02:00:14.000 The Spence Fencer.

02:00:17.000 Hey Ian, put wood in an airtight box, then burn the box.

02:00:20.000 Distill vapors from the box as cooled condensifier.

02:00:23.000 You have wood alcohol now.

02:00:24.000 Wow.

02:00:25.000 Get gooder, man.

02:00:26.000 Really?

02:00:26.000 Wait, is that it?

02:00:28.000 Distill vapors from the box?

02:00:30.000 I didn't know that.

02:00:31.000 That's really interesting.

02:00:33.000 Dilly Dilly says spruce needles are very high in vitamin C. Wow, I didn't know that.

02:00:37.000 I don't know if we have spruce needles.

02:00:38.000 Ian, for some reason, bought like 50 gallons of vinegar.

02:00:40.000 Only 0.2% of your daily vitamin C in red wine vinegar.

02:00:45.000 None of the other ones seem to have vitamin C in them.

02:00:47.000 But yes, vinegars.

02:00:47.000 People are always like, hey Tim, why is there so much vinegar in your storeroom?

02:00:50.000 And I'm like, I don't know.

02:00:51.000 Ian bought it.

02:00:52.000 It was Ian.

02:00:53.000 It never goes bad.

02:00:54.000 And it's a great seasoning agent.

02:00:56.000 If I was going to make like a tea desperate situation, I'd get some tree bark, some grass, vinegar, and salt, and it would be like a broth.

02:01:03.000 Hmm.

02:01:04.000 I guess you can take like malt vinegar and put it on your potatoes.

02:01:06.000 Oh, for sure.

02:01:07.000 You can rub it on wounds.

02:01:08.000 I mean, especially the white vinegar.

02:01:10.000 Yeah.

02:01:10.000 Can't you use it for some kind of like chemical processes to strip out baser elements from other compounds?

02:01:16.000 I don't know deeply on the chemistry.

02:01:18.000 I'm not sure.

02:01:18.000 I've heard, I think so, but I'm not sure.

02:01:20.000 You're a chemist.

02:01:22.000 Yeah.

02:01:23.000 Definitely learning chemistry is important.

02:01:26.000 Dispense Fencer says copper destroys vitamin C. No copper cookware for vitamin C. Interesting.

02:01:31.000 Very interesting.

02:01:33.000 All right, let's grab just a couple more here. 0.77

02:01:37.000 Truehello says, Part Korean podcaster Tim Pool does not know dandelions can be eaten.

02:01:42.000 In fact, he does not.

02:01:44.000 I knew you could make tea because Ian talks about it so much.

02:01:47.000 Dandelions!

02:01:47.000 I used to be allergic to them because I ate so much sugar, it turns out, years later.

02:01:51.000 Now I don't sneeze around them anymore.

02:01:52.000 Alright, let's grab this one.

02:01:53.000 Cornbread says, Tim, if a progressive tax is the answer, what are your thoughts of a progressive sales tax based on the price of goods?

02:01:59.000 Higher the price, the more the tax.

02:02:01.000 Income tax, in my opinion, is theft.

02:02:03.000 I honestly don't know because as much as my issue here is curtailing income inequality so that you don't have oligarchs.

02:02:12.000 Let me explain.

02:02:13.000 When you have oligarchs, when you have a very few handful of elites, they buy up all the buildings and property.

02:02:19.000 The building will cost a million dollars to buy, but the rent will be 500 bucks a month.

02:02:25.000 And you think to yourself, how is that possible?

02:02:28.000 Well, it's simple.

02:02:28.000 The rich only trade among themselves, and the poor people are shut out from ownership, from the ownership economy.

02:02:34.000 I think that's really, really bad, and it results in extreme tyranny. 0.94

02:02:37.000 I don't think taxes necessarily solve the problem, because then you're just giving money to government, and government just screws around and does stupid things like indoctrinate kids in schools.

02:02:46.000 So, I don't have all the answers, my friends.

02:02:48.000 It's really, really difficult.

02:02:49.000 And that's, and BlackRock's like doing- Exactly.

02:02:51.000 BlackRock's doing a lot of that, where they're buying up all this, you know, Middle-class housing and jacking up the rents for everybody basically pricing middle-class homebuyers out of the market I say we do this JD says fried dandelion flowers are delicious tastes like fried mushrooms.

02:03:06.000 You do it when fresh and yellow Well, all right, we're gonna do it.

02:03:10.000 Let's look up a fried dandelion recipe See if we can, we can do, you know, Ian's survival course on the Cast Castle vlog or something.

02:03:18.000 Beautiful.

02:03:18.000 And we'll bread them and fry them up.

02:03:20.000 Sounds awesome.

02:03:21.000 And then dip them in some kind of like chipotle ranch.

02:03:24.000 Oh, all right.

02:03:25.000 It's like fried zucchini, but with dandelions.

02:03:27.000 I love it.

02:03:28.000 I mean, I don't know.

02:03:29.000 Bees apparently love chilling out on flowers. 0.73
