Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - WaPo OUTRIGHT LIES, Denies Doxxing Leftist Critic LibsOfTikTok w-Jack Posobiec

00:00:04.000 The big news today is that a reporter for the Washington Post has doxed the creator behind the popular Twitter account Libs of TikTok.

00:00:13.000 This is an account that criticizes the left and often highlights publicly available posts from these people.

00:00:20.000 It's really interesting that this is considered a bad thing.

00:00:22.000 Like, somebody posts a video on TikTok, somebody else shares it, and they're like, stop sharing it!

00:00:26.000 It's like, you meant for it to be shared, you know, you post it on social media.

00:00:30.000 The interesting thing about this story is that shortly after it was published, there was a major backlash among many on the right, because not only was the name of the person who created the account published, but also their private home address.

00:00:41.000 Now, there's a lot to get into, into the nuance of what that means, but we here at TimCast, our great reporters, dug through some public records, and sure enough, the address that they linked to was listed as the private residence of the creator of Libs of TikTok.

00:00:54.000 There is a lot to go through there, so let me just stress it.

00:00:55.000 There's more nuance, more context.

00:00:57.000 The Washington Post came out not too long ago, a couple hours ago, I think, saying we never link to any of their private details, which is the craziest and boldest outright lie, because we have the archival article And it's got the link.

00:01:13.000 I can click the link and show you the address.

00:01:14.000 I'm not going to.

00:01:16.000 But it's remarkable that they think they can just outright lie like this.

00:01:19.000 So, you know what we're gonna talk about?

00:01:20.000 Yo, the media's dying.

00:01:21.000 CNN Plus, latest update.

00:01:23.000 They laid off.

00:01:24.000 CNN CFO's laid off.

00:01:25.000 Their Discovery apparently is like, this is a flop.

00:01:28.000 Netflix just tanked like, what, 25% in their stock.

00:01:33.000 What else do we got?

00:01:34.000 We got a Jon Stewart's new show.

00:01:36.000 40,000 viewers.

00:01:37.000 And here's the best part.

00:01:40.000 Not even viewers.

00:01:40.000 They called it homes.

00:01:42.000 Homes.

00:01:42.000 That means like literally no one might be watching Jon Stewart's show.

00:01:47.000 Get well, go broke, man.

00:01:48.000 So we got that.

00:01:49.000 We've got also in the media, an ethics complaint potentially against Jen Psaki because she's disparaging Fox News while negotiating a contract with MSNBC. 0.98

00:01:57.000 Really interesting media stuff here.

00:01:58.000 And then we got some other stuff related to Black Lives Matter.

00:02:01.000 They're accused of what being the reason behind a major spike in murders or something like that.

00:02:07.000 So we'll talk about all that, plus Joe Biden has apparently announced he's going to be running again.

00:02:10.000 It's going to be a wild show.

00:02:12.000 We have a lot to talk about with the Washington Post doxing.

00:02:15.000 This is reporter Taylor Lorenz.

00:02:16.000 Yes, she literally doxed somebody, and it's considered very hypocritical because she recently has said doxing is wrong.

00:02:24.000 So we'll get into the nuance of this.

00:02:26.000 Joining us today is, of course, Jack Posobiec.

00:02:29.000 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard tonight's edition of TimCast.

00:02:32.000 Promoting your new book, I see.

00:02:33.000 Promoting my new book.

00:02:34.000 This new book is called Buy Pillow and it is written by Buy Pillow in conjunction with promo code PostUpMyPillow.com and essentially it's just every word on the page, on the first page on the left it says buy and on the right it says pillow all the way through the book.

00:02:51.000 Is this like your new catchphrase?

00:02:52.000 Buy Pillow.

00:02:53.000 It is pretty good.

00:02:53.000 Buy Pillow.

00:02:55.000 What's the plot of the book?

00:02:58.000 It's an epic saga.

00:03:02.000 I don't know, man.

00:03:02.000 It put me to sleep.

00:03:06.000 As intended.

00:03:07.000 The book itself actually is a pillow.

00:03:09.000 We also have Seamus.

00:03:11.000 Seamus, I'm back.

00:03:13.000 It was a wonderful Easter weekend for me.

00:03:15.000 It's great to be back and see all you people.

00:03:17.000 I'm excited for today's show.

00:03:19.000 What's up, everybody?

00:03:20.000 Although I do disagree the media's dying, I think it's transmuting into what we have here and now.

00:03:25.000 We mean the corporate press.

00:03:26.000 Metastasize.

00:03:27.000 I agree with you there, but I gotta say, tonight is the night.

00:03:30.000 The official announcement of the theory of the twisting universe.

00:03:36.000 Up to this point, people have believed that the universe is expanding.

00:03:38.000 I think there's better evidence to show that it's actually twisting around on itself.

00:03:41.000 Did you make this up?

00:03:42.000 It came to me in a dream, my man.

00:03:44.000 I've been thinking about this a lot over the last six months, and I had a conversation with Michael Malice yesterday that really kind of nailed some pieces in.

00:03:50.000 So I brought a graphic.

00:03:52.000 I'm going to talk about it later in the show.

00:03:54.000 Were you high?

00:03:55.000 I don't think so.

00:03:56.000 I mean, I kind of always am.

00:03:57.000 I think it stays in your fat for years or something.

00:04:00.000 All right, well, we'll talk about that.

00:04:01.000 What's got Lydia pressing the button? 1.00

00:04:02.000 I am pressing buttons.

00:04:03.000 I'm very excited to hear about the twisting universe theory.

00:04:05.000 I'm curious if it aligns with our donut earth theory.

00:04:08.000 Earth is both hollow and flat.

00:04:10.000 That's right.

00:04:10.000 So what you're saying is the makers of Twister were onto something.

00:04:14.000 They were tapping into the very fabric of space-time.

00:04:17.000 Oh, you're ripping me apart with your ideas.

00:04:20.000 Right foot red.

00:04:23.000 Let's stop having fun and talk about serious stuff, I guess.

00:04:25.000 No, I'm kidding.

00:04:26.000 We'll have fun.

00:04:27.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com, become a member, because we are going to have a members-only segment coming up for you just after the show.

00:04:33.000 But more importantly, as a member, you are funding the reporting we do.

00:04:38.000 And this morning, this is a big part of the story, this morning, when the story came out, the narrative among, you know, journalists and politicos and commentators was that this reporter from the Washington Post had revealed the name of this creator.

00:04:51.000 Of course, the original article actually did dox the address of the creator.

00:04:55.000 We did some digging here at TimCast.com and found through public record searches.

00:05:00.000 I wouldn't call it difficult, but I wouldn't call it easy.

00:05:03.000 There's easy, you know, public record search, then there's like medium, a little bit more than normal.

00:05:07.000 But we did discover that the address they posted and then quickly removed was the private home address of the creator.

00:05:12.000 I bring this up now because we're going to get into it, but if you really do respect the reporting we're doing and challenging the lies and the manipulations, then we need your support as members because that's how we fund our reporters and we have on-the-ground reporters.

00:05:25.000 We do not sell stories.

00:05:27.000 We don't make money off the stories.

00:05:29.000 We cross our fingers and hope that you believe in us enough and respect the news that we report so that you'll become a member and help us make more.

00:05:36.000 It's a pay-what-you-will model, and it's a risky business model, but I think it's the right business model because I don't want to hide important information or put explosive details like this behind paywalls.

00:05:45.000 So we just do bonus segments as a sort of, you know, extra.

00:05:48.000 So become a member.

00:05:49.000 Don't forget to smash that like button.

00:05:53.000 We already have more daily active users on CNN, but alas, it is now being reported that CNN actually does have 150,000 subscribers, so they're definitely bigger than us.

00:06:02.000 But with your help, sharing this video will be bigger than them at that point as well.

00:06:06.000 Let's read this first story from TimCast.com.

00:06:09.000 Washington Post publishes home address of popular critic of left, Libs of TikTok.

00:06:15.000 Reporter Taylor Lorenz has previously claimed to suffer from PTSD from being doxxed in a similar way.

00:06:20.000 Now, I want to show you a little bit here, and I got to explain a lot of the nuance, all right?

00:06:23.000 They say an article by a technology reporter at the Washington Post provided the home address of the creator of the Libs of TikTok Twitter account.

00:06:31.000 In an article meant to expose the person behind the popular account, reporter Taylor Lorenz linked to a critical piece of information that disclosed the private home address of the person running Libs of TikTok.

00:06:40.000 After the ensuing backlash, the Post removed the link.

00:06:43.000 TimCast confirmed that the address published is documented as the creator's private home address.

00:06:49.000 Now, I will say, we were all in the newsroom going over this, investigating details.

00:06:54.000 Everybody kind of contributed to working on this story.

00:06:57.000 And we did end up pulling public records, which confirmed the original story published by the Washington Post contained a link to two different links to two addresses.

00:07:07.000 One address was the address of the creator of Libs of TikTok.

00:07:11.000 The other address was the address of family members.

00:07:15.000 Now, here's the challenge.

00:07:17.000 If I pull up the archive to prove they're lying about this, it will expose the name of the creator of Libs of TikTok, which I don't want to do.

00:07:25.000 Well, I suppose we have no choice.

00:07:27.000 Well, it's kind of like showing cuties to talk about how bad cuties is.

00:07:29.000 No, no, look.

00:07:30.000 The Washington Post published a lie.

00:07:33.000 Should we show their lie and prove them lying?

00:07:34.000 I don't think we should show the address.

00:07:35.000 Well, I think you can show... No, no, not the address.

00:07:38.000 No, no, no.

00:07:38.000 You can show the... Oh, wait.

00:07:40.000 Is it in the screenshot?

00:07:41.000 In the tweet from the Washington Post where they lie, they use the name of the creator of Libs of TikTok.

00:07:47.000 That's a tough one.

00:07:48.000 You can at least show the screenshot of the original article, which shows the hyperlink.

00:07:54.000 It still has the name there.

00:07:55.000 See, they put the name everywhere.

00:07:58.000 This is on purpose, by the way.

00:08:00.000 It's by design.

00:08:00.000 I think it's silly for us at this point to be like, people can't find the name.

00:08:03.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:08:04.000 We don't need to show it.

00:08:06.000 I think we don't need to show it.

00:08:08.000 People believe us.

00:08:09.000 If you really don't believe us, go search for it yourself.

00:08:11.000 I think we're being ridiculous at this point to be like, oh, we're not going to say the name, even though literally it's all over Twitter everywhere.

00:08:17.000 It's trending.

00:08:18.000 Well, even Steven Crowder mentioned it on his show earlier.

00:08:20.000 The Eric Caramello of the right.

00:08:24.000 Crowder did say the name of the creator?

00:08:27.000 Yeah, he did.

00:08:27.000 Well, then we're gonna go with it.

00:08:28.000 Yeah, shouldn't be an issue.

00:08:30.000 So, we have this from Christine Karate Kelly.

00:08:34.000 Statement from Cameron Barr re-reporting from Taylor Lorenz.

00:08:38.000 They said, Taylor Lorenz is an accomplished and diligent journalist whose reporting methods comport entirely with the Washington Post's professional standards.

00:08:46.000 Chaya Rajchik, in her management of the Libs of TikTok Twitter account and in media interviews, has had significant impact on public discourse and her identity had become public knowledge on social media.

00:08:57.000 We did not publish or link to any details about her personal life.

00:09:01.000 Cameron Barr, senior managing editor of the Washington Post, Tim Pool can confirm that is a lie!

00:09:07.000 I tweeted, this is the game they play, effing evil people as evil as they come.

00:09:10.000 There's the archive.

00:09:12.000 There's your proof.

00:09:13.000 Sorry to libs of TikTok for dealing with this, but WAPO needs to be exposed and proven to be liars. 0.64

00:09:18.000 Here is the archive of the first version of their story.

00:09:22.000 And I'm going to read it.

00:09:23.000 It is archive.ph slash capital B, lowercase e, capital V. I believe it's an L, lowercase l, and lowercase o.

00:09:31.000 And they linked to, right here, if I click that right now, it will show you the address of Libs of TikTok.

00:09:38.000 We pulled up private- uh, we pulled up public records.

00:09:40.000 It was a- a- a paid public records search, a little bit deeper than you normally go, and confirmed this is documented as the private home residence of the creator of Libs of TikTok.

00:09:49.000 I- I apologize that we've come to this point.

00:09:52.000 We had deep ethical conundrums and debates in the newsroom about whether or not we expose the Washington Post for having done this, because we're effectively amplifying their docs by doing so.

00:10:02.000 But I said, anything that happens at this point is on the Washington Post.

00:10:06.000 Anything bad that happens is on them, and we need to call it out, because if we say nothing, they are not held to account for having done it.

00:10:15.000 That being said, It is possible.

00:10:18.000 This is no longer the current address of the individual.

00:10:20.000 There's other issues at play.

00:10:22.000 But they also published another address, which is the, we believe, based on the reporting that we've done, is the family address of the individual.

00:10:31.000 Now you're crossing the line.

00:10:32.000 For what reason did they have to do that?

00:10:35.000 Now, I reached out to Taylor Lorenz and said, we can confirm you published the private home address of the creator of Libs of TikTok.

00:10:41.000 Do you have a comment?

00:10:42.000 To which she responded, I did not.

00:10:45.000 So she's saying she posted a link to it and that's the hill they're going to die on?

00:10:48.000 They're saying it's not the same?

00:10:50.000 All she said was, I did not.

00:10:51.000 No, no, no, no, because in the statement it says link.

00:10:54.000 It says we did not link to.

00:10:57.000 So in the statement from Taylor to you, she's saying I did not publish.

00:11:01.000 In the statement from the Washington Post, which came out like 12 hours after the actual article itself went live, They claim they did not link after they themselves positively went into the archive, removed the link, which we can only now see in the archive version.

00:11:18.000 That's right.

00:11:19.000 So they're lying about doing it.

00:11:21.000 Taylor is lying about doing it.

00:11:22.000 I suppose her only argument is that she doesn't believe it's the private home address.

00:11:29.000 But I'm sorry.

00:11:30.000 How would she know that?

00:11:31.000 Did she actually... I asked her... I didn't just ask, you know, why did you do this?

00:11:36.000 I sent a comment and... I gotta be honest.

00:11:39.000 I'll give Taylor this respect.

00:11:40.000 She responds.

00:11:41.000 Every time there's been an issue, she's responded.

00:11:43.000 She's actually corrected things before, so I can respect that.

00:11:45.000 And I said, we're going to be publishing the story.

00:11:48.000 I can confirm you published the private home address of the creator of Libs of TikTok.

00:11:52.000 I asked two questions.

00:11:54.000 Why was the link removed?

00:11:55.000 And did you check the address In the link you posted before publishing it, and her response was, I did not publish the private home address, and then directed me to Washington Post PR.

00:12:06.000 If that's the only thing she has to say, I can only respond with, that is an incorrect statement, outright falsifiable, because I'm not going to publish the documents that we have because it's a paid search.

00:12:19.000 You can dig up public records that are not I'll put it this way.

00:12:23.000 It's publicly available, but it's through a paid investigative service to get these records.

00:12:29.000 You'd have to go and physically ask.

00:12:31.000 Like go to the county or something.

00:12:33.000 We got them.

00:12:34.000 We're not going to publish them, but I can say as a statement of fact, Washington Post did publish the private home address of Libs of TikTok.

00:12:42.000 Is her contention, because this has to do with the fact that Libs, I guess, was a real estate salesperson, and that this was the registered address of her as a business entity working in real estate sales, and so Taylor's trying to hide behind that?

00:13:00.000 Even if that's the case, what is the good in publishing that?

00:13:00.000 Is that the idea?

00:13:03.000 Why would you have any reason to do so in order to do an exposee on somebody?

00:13:06.000 It's at the very least.

00:13:07.000 I want to make sure we get to the real nuance here, the real context.

00:13:11.000 The link they published was a real estate license, which had the address of an LLC.

00:13:16.000 However, the address used by the LLC is actually a split building with multiple apartments and a storefront.

00:13:23.000 On Google Maps, the storefront is a salon.

00:13:26.000 So I said, okay, well, wait a minute.

00:13:27.000 It is common for people to use their own address for their LLCs.

00:13:30.000 Yeah, all the time.

00:13:31.000 Regardless of whatever reason, I have no idea why there's other employees listed within the LLC at that address.

00:13:37.000 We did the record search, and it is listed in public records as a private residence of this individual.

00:13:43.000 So that's on the Washington Post.

00:13:46.000 If they would like to explain that, Feel free to.

00:13:49.000 As it stands right now, we pulled public records, it's a private home address, and they published the address.

00:13:56.000 Anyone else can do it, and anything that happens at this point is on the Washington Post for doing it.

00:13:59.000 I've got to point out some, I guess, nuance, because posting something and posting a link to something are different, as a social media administrator.

00:14:07.000 And if someone posts something illegal, they go to jail.

00:14:10.000 If someone posts a link to it, they're allowed to.

00:14:12.000 Not true.

00:14:13.000 Well, it is as an admin.

00:14:15.000 You remove the original piece, but you don't hammer everyone that retweeted it.

00:14:19.000 That's insane if you live like that.

00:14:20.000 We're not talking about sharing a post.

00:14:21.000 We're talking about them taking the link to the address and putting it in the article.

00:14:26.000 Was this not already public information?

00:14:28.000 So, the name of the individual is not public.

00:14:32.000 So they put some pieces together?

00:14:34.000 So, if no one knows the name of the person, then it doesn't matter what is public.

00:14:38.000 If you then say, here's their name, and here's a link to their address, you've doxed them, you've published your address, and I gotta be honest, that is the nuclear bomb of doxing.

00:14:48.000 They're trying to argue this is not doxing.

00:14:50.000 When you post their name, and then with a link next to it saying, here's their home address, you've doxed them.

00:14:54.000 Is that illegal?

00:14:56.000 No.

00:14:57.000 Maybe it should be in the 21st century.

00:14:58.000 Free speech.

00:14:59.000 The thing that I think we do need to add, though, is that the Washington Post is not the one that did all this work.

00:15:06.000 And Taylor Lorenz is certainly not the one who did all this work.

00:15:09.000 She's piggybacking off of work that was done by pro-Antifa accounts over the weekend.

00:15:14.000 People that have been doxing online accounts on the right and conservatives for years with ongoing harassment campaigns, some of which, by the way, we're starting to hear may receive foreign government funding.

00:15:31.000 Well, what I can say is, what is very much ignored by this, is that Taylor Lorenz did receive information from activists, published it as if it was her story, and used the Washington Post.

00:15:46.000 Matthew Iglesias of Vox.com, which is a left-wing publication, he's no longer with them anymore, but he's one of the founders.

00:15:52.000 He started it, but then he left, yeah.

00:15:53.000 He said, he had a great take.

00:15:56.000 He said this article is basically framed as libs of TikTok bad, but then it provides you with no real thesis or argument as to why that's the case.

00:16:05.000 There's no story.

00:16:06.000 It's basically, it is activism masquerading as news.

00:16:10.000 Yes.

00:16:10.000 Yeah, there is no story.

00:16:11.000 He said it turns out that the crux of the story, who is this person, turns out she's a random crank of no, of, you know, no public notoriety.

00:16:18.000 So why was that relevant?

00:16:19.000 This is, do you remember when they doxed, when I think it was Buzzfeed doxed Harvey Duncombe?

00:16:24.000 Oh yeah.

00:16:25.000 And they said, oh, the pro-Trump meme maker.

00:16:27.000 And they found that he's a stay-at-home father of four who lives in Kansas City.

00:16:32.000 He's just like a regular guy who raises his kids and makes memes, as opposed to Seamus, who raises other people's children.

00:16:39.000 What?

00:16:39.000 Thank you, by the way, for that.

00:16:42.000 But but you lift them up Seamus, what do you mean all the children of earth?

00:16:46.000 Oh, I gotta I gotta I gotta pull something up real quick when you go to the SPJ ethics code and I think I'm gonna have to shrink this so you can see it.

00:16:55.000 There we go You can see minimize harm in large black bold letters and it says Recognize that legal access to information differs from an ethical justification to publish or broadcast it.

00:17:08.000 Here we go.

00:17:09.000 This is the Society for Professional Journalists' Standard of Ethics.

00:17:13.000 Now, there's others.

00:17:14.000 There's Reuters.

00:17:14.000 I think the AP has theirs, but this is SPJ, which is what they teach you in schools.

00:17:18.000 And the point being brought up here is, you minimize harm.

00:17:22.000 Within minimize harm, they literally say, just because information may be public or you have legal access to it, doesn't mean you should broadcast it.

00:17:31.000 Which is the challenge we had in our newsroom, because we're like, we can confirm this is a private home address, but do we push that out?

00:17:37.000 Because that'll potentially cause harm.

00:17:39.000 You know, this is the— Real quick, it was a coin toss for us.

00:17:42.000 We ultimately decided that the public's right to know what major corporations are doing with the power of billionaires outweighed the potential harms, because the harm of not exposing this was greater than the harms to the individual.

00:17:55.000 So with that, you know, I apologize to libs of TikTok for being caught up in this, but we are not the ones who posted the edges.

00:18:00.000 It's a tough one, because do you expose Medusa to the crowd to show them that it's Medusa?

00:18:05.000 Because if they see it, they'll turn to stone.

00:18:09.000 Well, I mean, and what are they exposing?

00:18:10.000 This person makes videos on the internet that make fun of other people.

00:18:13.000 In fact, they're not even doing that.

00:18:14.000 They're just posting other things that people have said, which were already ridiculous in and of themselves.

00:18:19.000 There would be a story if there were some, I don't know, funded effort behind this that was being obfuscated, or if there were some nefarious, you know, organization behind the lives, something like that.

00:18:31.000 But there's no story here.

00:18:32.000 There's no story whatsoever.

00:18:33.000 This is the point I brought up earlier.

00:18:36.000 What is served by saying the two words that is the private name of the individual?

00:18:42.000 Nothing.

00:18:42.000 Now, the story could be the person running the account was at January 6th, as reported.

00:18:48.000 I think that's relevant.

00:18:49.000 Interesting.

00:18:49.000 What are the motivations of this person?

00:18:52.000 The opinions of the individual.

00:18:54.000 Also, oh, okay, so this person also said these things.

00:18:56.000 That's relevant.

00:18:57.000 But you can tell that story without saying their name.

00:19:01.000 Saying the name only serves to maximize potential harm.

00:19:06.000 Well, so what I was going to say, this is the opposite argument that you hear in, uh, that came up in the Katanji Brown-Jackson hearings when she was talking about some of the decisions in an article she had written when she was in law school regarding sex offender registries.

00:19:21.000 And the idea being that if you make a mistake once in your life, it shouldn't follow you for the rest of your life forever.

00:19:27.000 So the idea was to minimize harm to potential sex offenders or to convicted sex offenders that over time you would be able to reduce the amount of time essentially that you would appear in the registry.

00:19:38.000 That's the exact argument that was being made for sex offenders, right?

00:19:43.000 Versus this one, which is minimize harm completely for just the subjects of journalism.

00:19:48.000 So Taylor Renz, right, is maximizing harm to someone who runs An aggregator of, again, public videos that are already out there.

00:19:58.000 Videos, again, that are made to be shared.

00:20:01.000 And obviously it's, you know, it's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy.

00:20:04.000 That's kind of the main thing, the main thrust of all this.

00:20:06.000 Because we can say all day long that, oh, it's hypocrisy, you're doing, you're exposing, you're writing, you're doing all this stuff, but it's not hypocrisy.

00:20:14.000 It's hierarchy.

00:20:15.000 They're allowed to do it.

00:20:16.000 Taylor Lorenz is allowed to do it because she is of the anointed class.

00:20:22.000 She is of the upper class.

00:20:23.000 She is of the aristocracy.

00:20:25.000 And the fact of the matter is that because Liz of TikTok was not anointed, she didn't go to the right school.

00:20:29.000 She didn't get the right credentials.

00:20:31.000 She was doing this unauthorized.

00:20:33.000 Then she's not allowed to.

00:20:33.000 Because keep in mind, Taylor Lorenz used to be a TikTok journalist herself.

00:20:40.000 And she would go in specifically posting videos from Kellyanne Conway's 13-year-old daughter and all sorts of other people across TikTok and Instagram.

00:20:48.000 And she was doxing Pamela Geller's daughters at the same time. 0.76

00:20:51.000 This is what she did.

00:20:52.000 At the end of the day, Taylor Lorenz is jealous that Libs of TikTok was able to become more influential and more effective and do more long-lasting reporting just from looking at TikTok videos than Taylor Lorenz will ever do in her entire life.

00:21:08.000 You said earlier that there was like foreign actors potentially involved with activist groups that are working in the doxing.

00:21:14.000 Yeah.

00:21:14.000 Is that confirmed or is this just stuff you've heard?

00:21:16.000 It is confirmed.

00:21:17.000 Do you have evidence?

00:21:18.000 I mean, is there evidence around that we can pull up or is it is it something we should?

00:21:21.000 We should we should wait until we have a bigger story, the release.

00:21:24.000 Yeah, because I don't want to get into.

00:21:26.000 Yeah, it's not research on the air.

00:21:28.000 I like pulling up sources for this.

00:21:29.000 It is a rabbit hole, but the idea is that the person who conducted the initial docs is actually receiving funding from foreign governments.

00:21:38.000 Interesting.

00:21:39.000 Well, we've talked about this before.

00:21:41.000 The Washington Post is not exactly the most reputable and responsible publication out there, so I'm sure you all remember that these are the people who spread the mistruths about Nick Sandman.

00:21:53.000 And part of why I'm bringing that up right now is because even though you mentioned it isn't necessarily illegal for them to link to the information they link to, we could all agree it's extremely irresponsible.

00:22:01.000 And when you looked at the Nick Sandman case, There's sort of a similar situation where they made the entire country hate this kid and then in the name of the story, the Covington school kids, they told you where he went to school.

00:22:12.000 So it would be very easy for someone to find and hurt him and the people he was with based on that information.

00:22:18.000 That's insanely irresponsible.

00:22:19.000 Did he sue Washington Post too?

00:22:21.000 I believe he sued Washington Post and attempted to sue CNN, but I can double-check on that.

00:22:26.000 Let's talk about why this is happening.

00:22:28.000 So we have this story from the New York Post.

00:22:30.000 Jon Stewart's new show on Apple TV is reportedly a flop.

00:22:34.000 Well, what happened?

00:22:35.000 Jon Stewart got woke.

00:22:39.000 Went broke.

00:22:39.000 Look at Bill Maher.

00:22:40.000 Bill Maher has been resisting and trying to pull back, but still pretty much playing the establishment game.

00:22:46.000 But he's been calling out wokeness, and he's sort of maintained an audience.

00:22:49.000 He's also never retired.

00:22:50.000 Jon Stewart tried to make a comeback.

00:22:52.000 Smack talks white people, and the problem with white people gets panned for it. 0.97

00:22:56.000 And you know what I think?

00:22:58.000 I think most of you watching used to watch Jon Stewart.

00:23:01.000 I used to watch Jon Stewart.

00:23:03.000 Now I see him come back, get woke, go broke.

00:23:05.000 Let's talk about this.

00:23:06.000 We were just talking about libs of TikTok.

00:23:08.000 What is libs of TikTok?

00:23:09.000 Well, the reality is it was an aggregator.

00:23:11.000 It was a lens that was aggregating the woke left, the insane things they say and do, and presenting them in a feed.

00:23:21.000 This was a powerful tool in the culture war, showing regular people what was going on.

00:23:25.000 It resulted in outrage among parents.

00:23:28.000 It resulted, potentially, in laws getting passed.

00:23:32.000 Now, why would they try to target the individual and try to destroy their lives?

00:23:36.000 Because wokeness is not popular and it cannot win without brute force trying to destroy. 0.88

00:23:40.000 When Jon Stewart tries to get woke, It fails.

00:23:43.000 That's what they say, get woke, go broke, right?

00:23:45.000 So they have to, like, this is the funny thing.

00:23:48.000 If someone is showing people what woke people are like, they have to shut it down.

00:23:51.000 They're like, no, no, no, no, don't, don't.

00:23:53.000 Well, people, because people are mocking it.

00:23:56.000 But Jon Stewart's version of being woke was meant to be a serious, prominent personality trying to get you to believe in woke things, and it's not working.

00:24:04.000 No, I remember he, one of the first things he came out against was calling Harry Potter anti-Semitic.

00:24:09.000 And then he went on this whole sort of like retconning of that, where he actually went in and had them change the video title on the YouTube card, in order to, because it originally said... Oh, that's right, the Goblins!

00:24:20.000 Anti-Semitism, right, the Goblins. 0.90

00:24:22.000 Anti-semitism in Harry Potter, and then he changed it to just anti-semitic tropes.

00:24:27.000 And he said, no, I wasn't saying that Harry Potter was anti-semitic.

00:24:30.000 I was just saying that these tropes show up inside of Harry Potter.

00:24:34.000 He's totally different.

00:24:35.000 So it's like, he doesn't know how to be woke.

00:24:38.000 He's saying the wizard himself Character yes, no he called.

00:24:43.000 He's like.

00:24:43.000 I think he's a great a great wizard I'd even say a grand wizard that Harry Potter, but I wasn't calling him racist in any way I think well there's kind of been a lot of John Stewart worship for some bizarre reason over the past couple years And I think that's because when comparing him to John Oliver or Trevor Noah He's significantly less funny, but I've heard a lot of people say things like when John Stewart was the person making informational left-wing comedy it was all fantastic, but I I gotta be honest, he very much did the clown nose on, clown nose off thing that we've sometimes complained about.

00:25:16.000 I remember he was getting into an argument with Tucker Carlson a couple years ago, and it was on Crossfire.

00:25:22.000 That's right, it was a viral clip, and he's going on about all this misinformation Carlson is spreading, and Tucker says, well, you've spread a lot of misinformation on your show, and his response is, it's a comedy show.

00:25:31.000 And I'm sorry, but when you're presenting yourself as a comedy show that spreads information to help keep people informed, you don't get to fall back on, I was just kidding when you get the facts wrong.

00:25:41.000 So we did an episode about a year ago when Luke was here, and he and I got into it over this, over Jon Stewart.

00:25:48.000 You weren't here that night, but I think you three were.

00:25:48.000 If you guys remember that.

00:25:51.000 And I was essentially making this argument and Luke was saying, but he had on Ron Paul, he needed some of these other things.

00:25:57.000 And I said, look, no, he was the leading edge of that.

00:26:00.000 He was always the leading edge of the weaponization of comedy.

00:26:03.000 And now it's gone far beyond the seeds that he initially sowed in us.

00:26:07.000 I can agree, you know, I think it's silly to look back and try to romanticize the era of Jon Stewart, but he praised Project Veritas.

00:26:14.000 And this is a really good example of, at the bare minimum, of how things were different.

00:26:19.000 He mocked James O'Keefe for wearing a silly outfit, but that's fine.

00:26:23.000 You know, he was taking jabs at James for dressing up the way he did.

00:26:27.000 And it was actually like the normal clothes James was wearing.

00:26:30.000 I forgot what he said.

00:26:31.000 But, uh, what did he call it?

00:26:32.000 I don't know.

00:26:33.000 But he basically was like, journalists, where are you?

00:26:35.000 How are you getting scooped by these guys?

00:26:37.000 Which is, you know, he showed the ACORN reporting legitimately, like, look at this.

00:26:42.000 And he didn't call James O'Keefe a liar.

00:26:44.000 He didn't say it was deceptively edited.

00:26:45.000 He said, wow, look what these guys accomplished.

00:26:47.000 At the very least, you have that.

00:26:48.000 Now we're in the media age where Trump gets not a single good day, where everything James O'Keefe does is deceptively edited.

00:26:55.000 But is James, but okay, has Jon Stewart done that lately?

00:26:59.000 Well, no, no.

00:26:59.000 Jon Stewart came back.

00:27:00.000 Has he shared a Project Veritas story in the last 10 years?

00:27:02.000 He was retired for several years.

00:27:03.000 He came back.

00:27:04.000 He comes back now, woke and broke.

00:27:06.000 Not literally broke, figuratively broke.

00:27:08.000 My point is, he's that leading edge.

00:27:10.000 He's still that leading edge.

00:27:11.000 Yeah, I mean, I just want to say, I know you were going to say something, but I just want to drop this in there first before we potentially shift to something else.

00:27:19.000 It's not to say that Jon Stewart's been wrong about everything he's ever done or everything he's ever said.

00:27:23.000 It's just that, like you said, he was on the leading edge of all of this.

00:27:27.000 And whenever somebody comes out and says something even remotely sensible, conservatives go, oh, this guy gets it.

00:27:33.000 He's great.

00:27:34.000 He's our guy now.

00:27:35.000 Conservatives need to stop doing that.

00:27:36.000 Yeah, it's really frustrating.

00:27:38.000 Bill Maher.

00:27:38.000 I was going to bring up when Stewart went on the... Jack Dorsey.

00:27:42.000 The Tonight Show with Stephen Colbert.

00:27:44.000 He does a Tonight Show now.

00:27:46.000 And was talking about the coronavirus and the Wuhan laboratory of bat coronaviruses across the street from the market where they told us they found the bat coronavirus. 0.96

00:27:54.000 The Hersey chocolate spill.

00:27:55.000 That was like the most sensible, aware, normal human observation.

00:27:59.000 I was like, good, Jon Stewart's still normal.

00:28:00.000 Which we all had within like one week or even one day of hearing about the Wuhan lab.

00:28:07.000 We said, oh, there's a coronavirus right across the street from a virus factory.

00:28:12.000 I know!

00:28:12.000 It's hysterical that saying that it's possible that the virus that originated right outside of a virus factory.

00:28:20.000 It was insane to say maybe that came from the virus factory and it was sensible to say that it mutated in a bat and then someone ate the soup at a wet market and that's how it all happened.

00:28:29.000 Now when Jon Stewart came out, semi out of retirement, Disheveled and Uncle Bear saying all of these things.

00:28:35.000 We were like, Jon Stewart's back. 0.99

00:28:38.000 He's gonna call out the media for being dumb. 0.99

00:28:40.000 Then what did he do? 1.00

00:28:41.000 Got up on his show and said, the problem with white people. 0.83

00:28:44.000 Right.

00:28:44.000 And we're like, oh, here we go.

00:28:45.000 The anti-Semitism of Harry Potter.

00:28:47.000 What happened?

00:28:47.000 I've never heard him use that language before.

00:28:49.000 I'll tell you what.

00:28:50.000 Here's what I think.

00:28:51.000 Bill Maher on his show.

00:28:53.000 He saw the tides because he was sitting in it.

00:28:55.000 He saw people tweeting him.

00:28:56.000 He probably talked to people and they were like, dude, you're getting these things wrong.

00:28:59.000 And he was like, but those are conservative things.

00:29:01.000 And they're like, listen, he probably went, hmm.

00:29:03.000 So Bill Maher, I think, is trying to play both sides.

00:29:06.000 Call out the woke because the woke goes too far, but don't actually entertain the fact the left is so far gone that Bill Maher is conservative by today's.

00:29:15.000 Like if they call me a conservative, Bill Maher is to the right of me on a bunch of things.

00:29:19.000 But I think Bill Maher recognized that, and so he's like, I'm going to call out the woke a little bit. 0.71

00:29:25.000 Jon Stewart comes back from his semi-retirement, and he's like, okay, what am I doing?

00:29:29.000 And they're like, here's what's happening if you want to be a liberal guy.

00:29:32.000 And he went, I'll just say whatever I have to say to be relevant.

00:29:36.000 And so he was like, okay, what's that?

00:29:37.000 People don't like white people?

00:29:39.000 Let's do a show about it.

00:29:41.000 And then sure enough, it turns out people actually don't like any of that stuff.

00:29:43.000 They don't like what Jon Stewart's presenting on.

00:29:45.000 I think a really good example to understand the blue checks are wrong and crazy is that 0.69

00:29:50.000 when the mask mandate was ended, all these videos emerge of people celebrating. There's a

00:29:54.000 video of a flight attendant singing and dancing with a garbage bag. They're throwing their

00:29:59.000 masks in and I'm like, everybody hated that, except for blue check mark journalists who are like,

00:30:05.000 you should sue Delta if they make you take your mask off.

00:30:08.000 If you go in on the tweet about the DC Metro has taken it off, but then a buddy of mine who rides it pretty regularly says they don't really enforce it anyway.

00:30:17.000 He said he was on it once and somebody wasn't wearing it.

00:30:21.000 And then someone said something to the Metro guy who was on there and said, hey, this guy doesn't have his mask on.

00:30:26.000 The Metro guy was like, I'm not a cop, man.

00:30:28.000 What do you want me to do?

00:30:30.000 I said, well, neither of the flight attendants, right?

00:30:32.000 And also it wasn't a law to begin with.

00:30:33.000 But if you go and look at the tweet from the DC Metro and Marina Medvin had posted this, and she was screenshotting all the quote tweets over the DC Metro rescinding the mask mandate.

00:30:44.000 And all they're saying, by the way, is it's optional, right?

00:30:46.000 It's optional to wear, which, by the way, if you go to Asia, China, South Korea, Japan, mask wearing, if you're sick, is pretty normal.

00:30:52.000 It's pretty normalized.

00:30:53.000 It's always been around, certainly since they dealt with SARS, Navy flu, and some of the other things.

00:30:57.000 But with with this one people were freaking out and then G prime had a really good tweet this morning about it Where he said just imagine if you will you're mid-flight in a flying coffin You could have you could enter the voice comes over the intercom they start taking the masks Spreaded by the plague and the worst thing of all They're smiling.

00:31:19.000 The guy who tweeted, what did he tweet?

00:31:21.000 That I was on a plane with their masks off and that this is MAGA air or something like that.

00:31:24.000 Oh my god.

00:31:25.000 This is MAGA airspace.

00:31:26.000 That was hysterical, yes.

00:31:27.000 And then a journalist reached out to him.

00:31:28.000 From the New York Times.

00:31:30.000 Was like, can you tell me about your experience?

00:31:32.000 He's like, well, it was satire, but something only a journalist would have believed.

00:31:36.000 Right.

00:31:36.000 I saw that G-prime image of the plane.

00:31:39.000 I didn't know who it was or what it was.

00:31:40.000 And I thought, oh, this is some far some whacked out journalist that hates the the mandates 0.81

00:31:46.000 were lifted i was like wow this is trash propaganda and then i saw the name yeah and my entire

00:31:50.000 perception of the image changed so at some point maybe we should put satire above things that are satire

00:31:56.000 you're starting to sound like snopes i thought if his name wasn't on that i would have thought it

00:32:00.000 was some some more like somebody that was all that hated the lifting the requirements and wanted

00:32:06.000 masks look look look Look, I gotta say, you need to be training.

00:32:08.000 You need to be putting on speed.

00:32:10.000 These people will chase you five or six at a time.

00:32:12.000 You might have to run away from them screaming.

00:32:15.000 If you go anywhere near a Whole Foods, if you go anywhere near a supermarket, airports, they congregate in these spaces, Ian, I'm telling you.

00:32:22.000 They will swarm.

00:32:24.000 And if two or three of them scurry away from you, right, when they see you unmasked in the aisle, keep up your situational awareness.

00:32:32.000 Maintain your guard and your psychic defenses at all times because they could be returning with numbers.

00:32:38.000 Okay.

00:32:39.000 Frightening people.

00:32:40.000 No, I gotta be honest.

00:32:40.000 Hold on.

00:32:42.000 I thought the G Prime comic was hysteric.

00:32:43.000 He's been on this kick where he tries to create these very intentionally banal left-wing comics.

00:32:50.000 His whole idea is he's trying to get into the head of a New York Times cartoonist.

00:32:54.000 And they're really funny.

00:32:56.000 He does a very good job with them.

00:32:57.000 The problem I'm having with satire, and this is why I disliked Stephen Colbert for so long with his old show, his satire show, is that there's so much lying going on right now in the universe that I need honesty.

00:33:06.000 And if the people I trust start saying things that aren't true just for an effect, I gotta disengage.

00:33:12.000 I can't listen to that stuff or respect it.

00:33:14.000 Interesting.

00:33:15.000 Let's talk about CNN, my friends.

00:33:16.000 We have this story from Axios.

00:33:18.000 CNN plus looks doomed.

00:33:22.000 Where should we get the cake from?

00:33:23.000 And when's the party?

00:33:24.000 Sunday.

00:33:25.000 Sunday.

00:33:26.000 No, for real.

00:33:26.000 Maybe we can get Chris Wallace to bake it for us.

00:33:29.000 All right, here's the story, my friends.

00:33:30.000 From Axios, they say Warner Brothers Discovery has suspended all external marketing spend for CNN Plus and has laid off CNN's longtime chief financial officer as it weighs what to do with the subscription streaming service moving forward.

00:33:42.000 Now, now hold on.

00:33:44.000 Everybody was saying they had 10,000 subscribers.

00:33:46.000 You know, they had 10,000 daily active users.

00:33:48.000 Axio says they have 150,000 subscribers so far.

00:33:52.000 Let me just put that in some numbers for you.

00:33:54.000 If they're getting between three and $6, we're looking at between, you know, like what, eight, around 8 million maybe they're making per month?

00:34:03.000 Now they spent, I think, 250 million to set it up.

00:34:05.000 So they're deep in the hole and not gonna recover that anytime soon.

00:34:09.000 Certainly not as much as they thought it would be, but still a lot of money.

00:34:11.000 That being said, my friends, If you think we're better than them, please go to TimCast.com.

00:34:16.000 Become members because we should have more than that.

00:34:20.000 We don't, but we should.

00:34:24.000 It's growth.

00:34:25.000 The more members we get, the more people we hire, the bigger we get.

00:34:28.000 CNN Plus should not be doing as well as they're doing.

00:34:31.000 They are, of course.

00:34:32.000 They're still doing so abysmally bad.

00:34:33.000 They're probably going to get nuked.

00:34:35.000 Do you see the bottom line of that right there?

00:34:37.000 Sources say a plan is being considered to replace Chris Cuomo's 9 p.m.

00:34:41.000 Eastern primetime slot with a live new cast.

00:34:44.000 And I love how they describe this.

00:34:45.000 Newscast.

00:34:46.000 Instead of a personality-driven perspective programming.

00:34:50.000 Wow.

00:34:51.000 Good.

00:34:52.000 Yeah.

00:34:52.000 Perspective programming.

00:34:54.000 You know, we thought about that too here at Timcast.

00:34:56.000 We were like, why have this Tim Pool guy host a show with conversation?

00:35:00.000 Let's just hire Chris Cuomo and have him, you know, Talk to people.

00:35:04.000 That would make way more sense.

00:35:05.000 I would love to have Chris Cuomo on if he was like actually talking.

00:35:08.000 Yeah.

00:35:09.000 You know what I mean?

00:35:10.000 So Warner Brothers owns CNN.

00:35:12.000 They're just basically pumping massive amounts of marketing into it to get 100,000 people to subscribe to their thing.

00:35:17.000 But I mean, that indicates nothing to whether or not it's good or valuable.

00:35:21.000 It's not good.

00:35:22.000 Sorry, the issue isn't the 150,000 subs.

00:35:25.000 It's that only 10,000 people on average use it per day, which is like per day.

00:35:30.000 That's 24 hours.

00:35:31.000 So think about that in 24 hours, about 400 every hour, about 400 people or so.

00:35:39.000 Is that, is that, is that, is that right?

00:35:40.000 That's like a, that's like an average Telegram chat room, you know, kind of thing.

00:35:45.000 I mean, I actually do think I have more people in my Telegram chat actively, uh, on a regular basis than that.

00:35:51.000 And I know I do not market or pay for anything.

00:35:54.000 I would like to see the ratio of other companies that have subscription models, like how many subscribers TimCast has versus how many people land on it every day.

00:36:01.000 Same with Netflix.

00:36:02.000 But that's apples to oranges.

00:36:03.000 Well, you get an idea of the ratio of how many people actually pay for it and how many people actually watch it, and that number's pretty important.

00:36:09.000 Yeah, I was going to mention this earlier.

00:36:11.000 I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but I still don't understand how CNN saw that they were doing abysmally in the ratings and thought, you know what?

00:36:17.000 We're going to get people to pay for this.

00:36:19.000 Why would anyone pay more for stuff you don't want to watch?

00:36:21.000 It's free at the airport.

00:36:23.000 That's why people watch it.

00:36:24.000 Not anymore.

00:36:25.000 Yeah, they've been at the airports for a while.

00:36:27.000 Oh my gosh!

00:36:28.000 I'll tell you what happened is they had a meeting, and this is my opinion, and went, hey, why are our ratings so bad among millennials?

00:36:36.000 And some marketing guy was like, because millennials are watching streaming services.

00:36:39.000 And they were like, if we launch a streaming service, we'll get millennials.

00:36:43.000 I'll tell you, I bet the real issue Is that of those 150 subscribers, it's like 149 people who

00:36:50.000 are 55 or older.

00:36:50.000 You know what this is like? This is like Quibi. You remember Quibi?

00:36:53.000 Yeah.

00:36:53.000 That thing that was around for like five minutes.

00:36:54.000 Microsoft.

00:36:55.000 But somehow got the Reno 911.

00:36:57.000 So the idea was that it was micro streaming. So they're like, hey, what if, and they had

00:37:02.000 like these short Reno 911 episodes, which are actually pretty good, but they would only give

00:37:05.000 you a little bit of it. So.

00:37:06.000 So it was like, what do people love?

00:37:08.000 Well, they love being on their phones.

00:37:10.000 And what else did they love?

00:37:12.000 They love short videos.

00:37:13.000 So let's make a company that's all about programmed, scripted, short videos and deliver it to your phone.

00:37:20.000 It was a complete failure.

00:37:22.000 Nobody liked it because that's not organic social media content.

00:37:26.000 Right.

00:37:26.000 People want either like live form stuff like this, not scripted, direct interaction, actual human engagement with, you know, like actual humans.

00:37:35.000 Obviously Ian is, you know, kind of a robot, questionable in that sense.

00:37:39.000 But, um, but you know, we accept you as you are.

00:37:41.000 And, and it was just an abysmal failure because again, you could, that was Jeffrey Katzenberg, by the way, it was behind that, um, the former DreamWorks and Disney guy who you could tell had some meetings.

00:37:52.000 What are the kids like today?

00:37:53.000 Oh, stream video?

00:37:55.000 Let's do that.

00:37:56.000 But on the phone, it'll be great.

00:37:59.000 I thought Microsoft's a direct investor.

00:38:01.000 I could be wrong about that.

00:38:02.000 The reality was that nobody likes CNN.

00:38:05.000 That CNN was like, maybe the issue is that we're not in the right place.

00:38:05.000 Yes.

00:38:09.000 And now they're probably, you know, I hope they cried.

00:38:12.000 I hope someone at CNN sat there and was just like, they cried.

00:38:18.000 But they really just don't like us.

00:38:19.000 That's a good point, Jack.

00:38:21.000 The modern media now, the whole, like, one-way media stream is kind of, that's what's dying off.

00:38:25.000 It's turning into a two-way thing.

00:38:27.000 If you can't talk to your subscribers and vice versa, then it's, no one wants... I don't think that it's just that it's one-way or two-way.

00:38:35.000 I agree that that could have something to do with it, but it's also the fact that they're an unreliable network. 0.97

00:38:40.000 They report garbage. 0.76

00:38:41.000 They don't have an interesting perspective that anyone wants to hear. 0.98

00:38:44.000 That's a good point, because Netflix is one-way for the most part, and they're...

00:38:47.000 Flying, you know.

00:38:48.000 Had an excellent... Netflix is not fine.

00:38:51.000 No flying.

00:38:51.000 Oh, yeah, they tanked today.

00:38:53.000 Yeah, they tanked massively.

00:38:54.000 Did anyone figure out why?

00:38:55.000 They're losing subscribers.

00:38:56.000 What's happening?

00:38:57.000 They're losing subscribers.

00:38:58.000 They're all going to CNN Plus?

00:39:00.000 How are we going to compete?

00:39:01.000 Oh, it's taxed because they can't afford taxes. 0.67

00:39:03.000 So people are cutting their subscriptions probably.

00:39:05.000 Oh, no, no, no.

00:39:06.000 We'll get to that in a second.

00:39:07.000 But I want to throw a really good, really good text in that kind of actually from a buddy of mine who shall remain nameless right now.

00:39:16.000 But a guy I used to work with in my old job, if that makes any sense.

00:39:19.000 And it said, they had to lift the airline mandates because it was becoming too obvious that only LA, New York City, and the capital city still care about COVID.

00:39:29.000 The rest of the country has moved on to gas prices and food shortages, and .gov employees are still worried about the flu.

00:39:35.000 Their distance from their subjects has become so far that to convince them that it is still a democracy, they needed to drop the mandate.

00:39:43.000 Democracy.

00:39:45.000 For democracy, folks.

00:39:46.000 For democracy.

00:39:48.000 The weird thing is to still see these blue check journalists be like, everyone, we should start suing the airlines. 1.00

00:39:53.000 I know, for what?

00:39:55.000 Because they're like, you agreed there would be masks when I got on this plane and now you're taking them off.

00:39:59.000 And it's like, well, that was the government.

00:40:01.000 Yo, I looked up Netflix stock, the first story.

00:40:03.000 Netflix loses subscribers.

00:40:05.000 Thanks.

00:40:06.000 From CNN.

00:40:07.000 Their new competitor.

00:40:08.000 Ooh, interesting.

00:40:10.000 Yeah, so, were we talking about masks?

00:40:12.000 Something about masks.

00:40:12.000 Well, we were going to talk about why, you know, where we think the subscribers are going from Netflix.

00:40:17.000 And them lifting the mandates. 0.57

00:40:18.000 And then I was talking about masks.

00:40:19.000 Yeah, we were talking about masks.

00:40:20.000 So, the Biden administration, by the way, this just broke before the show went live, the Biden administration has announced that right now, in a midterm election year, they are actually going to be fighting to reinstate the mask mandates.

00:40:36.000 Oh yeah, I know.

00:40:37.000 In federal court.

00:40:38.000 So we have people who are actively calling for, that's what we're talking about, suing airlines because the mask mandates got lifted.

00:40:45.000 This all comes together.

00:40:47.000 You were mentioning being out of touch with their subjects.

00:40:49.000 Right.

00:40:50.000 CNN is in line with this narrative on Twitter, which exists among like 3% of the population.

00:40:57.000 That when the masks come off, everyone's screaming and cheering, but CNN is on the side of like, this is really bad, you know?

00:41:03.000 People should be upset by this.

00:41:04.000 And regular people are like, why would I watch your show?

00:41:07.000 That does not relate to me.

00:41:08.000 Who cares?

00:41:08.000 Well, I don't know.

00:41:09.000 I mean, I think people not wearing masks is a threat to our democracy.

00:41:13.000 See that?

00:41:13.000 You see that CNN perspective right there?

00:41:14.000 Boom.

00:41:14.000 Thank you.

00:41:15.000 Right there for democracy.

00:41:16.000 We need an unelected bureaucratic doctor who's 1.00

00:41:20.000 never been elected a dog catcher in his life to be making decisions for

00:41:25.000 all three hundred fifteen million Americans.

00:41:27.000 You know, someone who would be speckled, you know, elfish

00:41:32.000 elderly man.

00:41:34.000 That's true democracy.

00:41:35.000 Is he still around though?

00:41:37.000 That's true.

00:41:38.000 Leaving voicemails.

00:41:39.000 Yeah, if he has.

00:41:40.000 Has he left any voicemails recently?

00:41:42.000 Can we give us an update?

00:41:43.000 Left some.

00:41:43.000 There's a Freedom Tunes video that reported a bunch of voicemails he left on MSNBC's answering machines.

00:41:48.000 Yeah, that was good.

00:41:49.000 The idea being that Fauci is just out of the media now for some reason.

00:41:54.000 That's funny though.

00:41:55.000 I'll give the media that much.

00:41:57.000 They recognized Fauci's out.

00:41:59.000 He's like doing the podcast of the kid who lives next door and stuff.

00:42:02.000 Like regular media.

00:42:03.000 It's just, it's funny because, Tim, you sort of mentioned that, well, actually, no, you mentioned this, that in a midterm election year, they're saying they're going to fight to reinstate the mandates.

00:42:12.000 It is very bizarre because they've known that that's a losing issue for a little while now, and everything's going so poorly.

00:42:19.000 It's almost like they're just flailing around trying to do anything.

00:42:23.000 They're not even thinking strategy.

00:42:24.000 When you're that low in the polls, when you're just sinking, you're drowning, you're flailing your limbs everywhere, you're not actually making calculated motions.

00:42:32.000 They're like, we've got 33% left.

00:42:33.000 How do we destroy the last?

00:42:36.000 Speaking of which, I literally, I uploaded a cartoon about this today.

00:42:40.000 You guys check it out.

00:42:40.000 It's called the Democrats' Brilliant Midterm Strategy.

00:42:42.000 Or the lockdowns are coming back.

00:42:44.000 Philadelphia brought the mask mandates back.

00:42:48.000 And we'll see.

00:42:49.000 I said, end of last year, the lockdowns are going to come back.

00:42:53.000 Luke said that wouldn't happen.

00:42:54.000 I said they would.

00:42:55.000 Once it started getting lifted, I was like, I guess Luke was right.

00:42:57.000 I was wrong.

00:42:58.000 But now I'm kind of like, I don't know.

00:43:00.000 No, and I had reported this and people, you know, got all mad at me because they were discussing this in the White House, returning the masks, or excuse me, returning the lockdowns.

00:43:11.000 Kind of the impetus for that, and then Biden was even going to do a whole speech about it, that basically got flipped into the nationwide vaccine mandate speech.

00:43:20.000 But it was essentially the same type of rhetoric.

00:43:22.000 They just switched it from lockdowns into vaccines.

00:43:24.000 But this whole idea of, you know, we're in this together.

00:43:27.000 They keep talking about it.

00:43:29.000 Ron Klain, the White House chief of staff, keeps referring to this as his FDR moment.

00:43:36.000 Everything's his FDR moment, right? 0.71

00:43:38.000 From this, to Ukraine, to whatever else.

00:43:40.000 He's the new FDR.

00:43:41.000 He's the new FDR, except he can't get anything passed.

00:43:43.000 Let's talk about Jack Dorsey and CNN.

00:43:45.000 This is from The Hill.

00:43:46.000 Jack Dorsey says he saw CNN try to create conflict in Ferguson.

00:43:51.000 Tim, you were in Ferguson.

00:43:52.000 Yeah, and I would say I believe Jack Dorsey is right.

00:43:55.000 Now, can I say I witnessed whatever it is he saw?

00:43:57.000 No.

00:43:58.000 What I can say is CNN was there on the ground, and I would describe it as problematic.

00:44:04.000 And it was Jake Tapper, right?

00:44:06.000 Oh, everyone was there.

00:44:06.000 Oh, wow.

00:44:07.000 There was that who's that portly woman in the in the pink dress No, no, she's I can't remember her name but she's like standing on the street and then the gunshots start ringing out and she goes oh Oh! 0.89

00:44:23.000 Oh! 0.60

00:44:24.000 And it's like, what are you doing?

00:44:26.000 Move! 0.97

00:44:26.000 People are shooting guns! 0.97

00:44:27.000 But no, um, Don Lemon reported there was no tear gas while I was getting tear gassed.

00:44:32.000 So I'm just like, if Jack Dorsey were to tell me that, I'd be like, yeah.

00:44:35.000 Cause when the big news crews came down to West Florissant, I heard one journalist say something.

00:44:41.000 He was, he was talking to someone.

00:44:42.000 And then the part of the conversation I heard was, well, I'm just here for networking.

00:44:45.000 It's a great opportunity or something like that.

00:44:47.000 Wow.

00:44:47.000 Because like, you know, I think Anderson Cooper was there at some point, I'm not sure.

00:44:51.000 But if Jack Dorsey says he saw that, I'd be like, that's about in line with the BS I saw them doing.

00:44:58.000 Like, crappy reporting, no security, just flailing all over the place, getting things wrong.

00:45:03.000 And I would not be surprised if they were trying to egg things on.

00:45:06.000 Because I've also seen, in other instances of protests, news crews ask protesters to pose for them.

00:45:12.000 That's essentially what he's saying.

00:45:14.000 But then, but then instead of the, do they have the actual phrasing up there?

00:45:19.000 Um, cause I think what he was saying something about, like, they asked them to pose.

00:45:22.000 I watched them try to create conflict and filming it, causing the protesters to chant FCNN.

00:45:28.000 So it seems like it's, you know, and this is the way I'm reading it.

00:45:30.000 Cause it's, it's worded kind of weirdly, but it sounds like he's saying they were trying to pose the protesters and instead the protesters turned on CNN.

00:45:39.000 And this was all in reference to Brian Stelter said, Tucker Carlson is always selling the same

00:45:44.000 thing. In reference to an analytical piece in the Washington Post that said Fox News was selling

00:45:49.000 doubt. Dorsey responded, and you are all selling hope. And then people were like, he's selling the

00:45:54.000 truth. Jack went off like.

00:45:56.000 Yeah, he's lit up.

00:45:57.000 Well, Tim, you've spent, and I don't mean to pick your brain about this, you've spent obviously several hours with Mr. Dorsey on a famous interview slash debate.

00:46:07.000 You saw that viral video?

00:46:08.000 I sent you that this morning, where Tim asks Vijaya of the Safety and Trust team on Twitter, would Twitter allow someone to spread what's considered misinformation about vaccines?

00:46:24.000 I said, would you, so I could be wrong, but I think it was, would you allow someone to share information about vaccines that could be wrong and maybe get someone hurt?

00:46:31.000 And they said, that's not a violation of our rules.

00:46:33.000 She said, that's not a violation of our rules.

00:46:35.000 Did not age well.

00:46:36.000 It was years ago.

00:46:37.000 But point being that you spent all that time with her and Jack Dorsey.

00:46:42.000 So what is your take on this?

00:46:44.000 You know, people are calling it the Dorsey redemption arc.

00:46:48.000 I've been calling it that.

00:46:50.000 What do you think?

00:46:51.000 Couple things.

00:46:53.000 Maybe... You know, Jack said a whole bunch of really great things when I went there and met with him the first time.

00:46:59.000 He was telling me before the show, he was like, I want decentralized, immutable social media on the blockchain.

00:46:59.000 He did.

00:47:05.000 And I said, whoa!

00:47:06.000 That's beyond what I'm even talking about, dude.

00:47:08.000 I'm just saying don't ban people for saying naughty words.

00:47:11.000 You're saying, like, everything you ever post will be forever.

00:47:14.000 And I'm like... You started shaming him.

00:47:16.000 You're like, there needs to be more regulation on Twitter, Jack.

00:47:19.000 Yeah, I was like, wow, I'm on the other side of that one.

00:47:21.000 Get out of here, Murray Rothbard.

00:47:22.000 I think people should be allowed to remove it.

00:47:24.000 It shouldn't be permanent.

00:47:25.000 But afterwards, we talked about path to redemption.

00:47:29.000 Never happened.

00:47:30.000 And after a little while, I was like, all of these things that Jack keeps talking about, he never does.

00:47:34.000 That he could do, he won't do.

00:47:35.000 So I don't trust him.

00:47:37.000 I don't believe him.

00:47:37.000 He's the CEO.

00:47:38.000 What's going on?

00:47:39.000 If he really believed in it, he'd come out and be like, guys, here's why it can't be done.

00:47:43.000 Here's what I'm struggling with.

00:47:44.000 But he keeps things a secret.

00:47:46.000 It could be that as CEO, he was tied up and couldn't make these moves.

00:47:50.000 I wonder.

00:47:51.000 I mean, he's a billionaire.

00:47:52.000 At what point does he just be like, I don't need to be a billionaire, dude.

00:47:57.000 I can be a hundred millionaire or a ten millionaire, and I'm going to tell people the truth.

00:48:00.000 I think he's probably on an NDA or non-compete clause of some sort.

00:48:04.000 What's the worst case scenario?

00:48:05.000 They sue him to oblivion.

00:48:06.000 What does oblivion mean?

00:48:07.000 I don't know.

00:48:07.000 Take all his net wealth away.

00:48:09.000 They can't take all of it away.

00:48:10.000 He'll be rich forever.

00:48:11.000 That's his point.

00:48:11.000 Yeah, but why would he?

00:48:12.000 I don't think he's ready to make that sacrifice.

00:48:14.000 But I know what you mean, but I don't think he's going to go there.

00:48:16.000 That's fine.

00:48:17.000 Jack, it is my opinion that Jack He tweeted out so much to be said that can't be said or something to that effect Okay, then either he prefers to be really rich as opposed to help fix the problems Or he doesn't think telling the truth would actually do anything of value, so he won't say it anyway

00:48:35.000 So that idea that he's talked about before, also in 2019, because I was kind of tweet mining his timeline for stuff that he said in the past about this, and his idea for decentralizing Twitter was more than just Twitter itself.

00:48:49.000 It was actually the idea of turning Twitter into an internet protocol.

00:48:54.000 And so the idea being is that And if you remember the original origin story, and I think a lot of these like tech origin stories are kind of like come from a marketing department as opposed to what's actually happened.

00:49:03.000 But the idea was that it was supposed to be just sort of this open group text or an open chat room.

00:49:08.000 And that was the reason for the character limit so that it was a chat room that you could share with anybody who had access and they followed you and they could get in, right?

00:49:15.000 And so, the idea being that it was based off of SMS, it was based off of text message technology.

00:49:20.000 So, that's obviously an open protocol.

00:49:23.000 So, if you have an Android and I have an iPhone, I can text you, you can text me, we're across platforms.

00:49:28.000 The idea then, for this, for a decentralized protocol based on Twitter then, open source.

00:49:35.000 So, let's say you have, you know, let's say you use Getter, let's say you use Truth, let's say, whatever, like whatever social media you're using that's on this.

00:49:42.000 There are people who are on it.

00:49:45.000 And Twitter, that you would be able to interact with people across the platforms.

00:49:50.000 That I could see those posts if I followed that person, even if they weren't expressly on my platform.

00:49:56.000 Yeah, that's what we're building with our charity.

00:49:58.000 The charity that we're getting revved up at the moment.

00:50:00.000 That's completely the future of the internet.

00:50:02.000 I think Jax wanted it, but he's been- So it becomes a protocol and you can't, yeah, you can't- Yeah, it's a piece of software that no one controls.

00:50:08.000 It's just a decentralized software unit.

00:50:10.000 It's just like inverted email.

00:50:11.000 Imagine you'd go to the firehose, the feed, whatever.

00:50:15.000 Right.

00:50:15.000 Anyone can host it.

00:50:18.000 Your account is your own website.

00:50:20.000 So people wouldn't follow, you know, at Timcast.

00:50:23.000 They would follow, you know, at Timcast.com or whatever.

00:50:26.000 And then all of my tweets and videos are on my own website.

00:50:30.000 But if you're following on the decentralized app, you can see those things.

00:50:33.000 I think that's the feature, because then no one can ban you.

00:50:35.000 You're just there on the internet and people can subscribe, kind of like RSS.

00:50:41.000 All we got to do is build it.

00:50:43.000 No, it's exactly like RSS.

00:50:45.000 Yeah, RSS 3.0.

00:50:46.000 That was the beginning of the idea.

00:50:49.000 It's becoming different with what we're working on with everybody.

00:50:52.000 I'm not ready to announce exactly what it is yet, but it's very, very close to announcing.

00:50:55.000 So he teed up something, Dorsey, in a recent tweet that they do have a project called Blue Sky, I think.

00:51:02.000 It's been out for a while.

00:51:06.000 I've DM'd with him so often, you know, over the years, like not all the time, but enough talking about stuff like this that I just, I was like, this dude's just lying.

00:51:15.000 Because he's going to say these things publicly and he's like, we're working on Blue Sky and then nothing happens.

00:51:20.000 It's remarkable because... Which sound great.

00:51:22.000 They all sound great.

00:51:23.000 If I had one tenth of Jack Dorsey's wealth, It'd be done.

00:51:30.000 You'd have an alpha in a few months.

00:51:32.000 Well, you'd need developers.

00:51:33.000 Yeah, he's worth billions of dollars.

00:51:35.000 Yeah, but money isn't a developer.

00:51:37.000 You need to find the people that do it.

00:51:38.000 Dude, come on.

00:51:39.000 And then you've got to find people that like each other, that want to work together.

00:51:41.000 That's true, but if you had $20 million to spend on the project, it would be an alpha within, come on, six months.

00:51:47.000 I don't know, man.

00:51:48.000 You could throw a lot of money at a group of people and get nothing.

00:51:50.000 Dude, it's been three years!

00:51:52.000 It's been years.

00:51:53.000 But what they need is organization.

00:51:54.000 I know people with lots of money, they need people to organize and do it.

00:51:58.000 Right.

00:51:58.000 If you are worth $20 million, you can do it.

00:52:03.000 Ian, are you extending your services to Jack Dorsey?

00:52:06.000 I'm doing it for free, baby.

00:52:08.000 Join us, Jack.

00:52:10.000 It's like, you know, we're trying to set up a nonprofit that has no money to get this going and it's taking forever to get the filings, but it's been like six months and there's people already working on it.

00:52:19.000 So I don't know what they're doing with Blue Sky, but three years on, I'm like, Jack, I really don't believe you're working on this.

00:52:24.000 I wonder what he's doing.

00:52:25.000 Yeah, it's whispering sweet nothings into your ears.

00:52:27.000 You wanna know what he's doing?

00:52:28.000 Here's what people are saying.

00:52:29.000 Elon Musk might take over Twitter.

00:52:32.000 All of a sudden, Jack Dorsey comes out as this rogue figure who's like, I've had enough.

00:52:36.000 It's time to be honest and tell the truth.

00:52:38.000 And now people on the right are gonna be like, yeah, you go, Jack.

00:52:41.000 And then Jack's like, we don't need Elon.

00:52:43.000 I'm here.

00:52:44.000 And then once Elon gets pushed out, Jack's gonna be like, okay, so let's start censoring everybody again.

00:52:50.000 Here's the thing.

00:52:51.000 We need to censor everyone on Twitter all the time.

00:52:53.000 I'm not being censored.

00:52:55.000 You gotta do that with Jack.

00:52:56.000 I wasn't looking at you when you started that and I thought that was Jack.

00:53:00.000 He was actually sitting in the other chair the whole time and we just didn't notice.

00:53:04.000 How did I miss the nose ring?

00:53:09.000 I've asked Jack to come on a couple times.

00:53:10.000 He always has like yes at some point.

00:53:13.000 He's busy.

00:53:14.000 I'd love to actually have him talk about these things.

00:53:17.000 The issue is, the first time he went on Joe Rogan, Joe had a huge backlash. 0.97

00:53:22.000 He got all these thumbs down because Jack was just saying garbage nonsense.

00:53:26.000 And then they didn't actually get to the core of the issues.

00:53:28.000 Then when I go on with Jack, Vijaya and Joe, They did not expect to get these questions that I had for them because they probably assumed it was going to be like some right-wing dude just being like, why'd you ban Milo?

00:53:41.000 And instead we had like philosophical questions about, you know, the ethics of the rules and the worldviews and things like this.

00:53:47.000 All of the things they said, they're just spinning.

00:53:50.000 They're spinning a tail.

00:53:51.000 Yeah.

00:53:51.000 I think he's because he's on the board.

00:53:52.000 He has like a, he can't disparage the company.

00:53:54.000 So he can't really say.

00:53:56.000 A fiduciary duty.

00:53:56.000 Yeah.

00:53:57.000 Right.

00:53:57.000 Well, we were talking about this earlier in the show, but he likes being a billionaire.

00:53:57.000 Yeah.

00:54:02.000 It goes into what, Tim, you were saying a second ago, which is that as soon as somebody on the left who has been our enemy for virtually their entire time in public life says something remotely sensible, we go, yes, this person is speaking truth.

00:54:14.000 We love them.

00:54:15.000 And look, when someone says something that's true, we should absolutely celebrate the fact that they've, they've said something true, but you can't just start looking up to these people as heroes.

00:54:21.000 They've really got to earn it by showing results.

00:54:23.000 Unfortunately, he hasn't.

00:54:25.000 He said, I think at one point that he realizes now that he was part of the problem of creating big tech.

00:54:30.000 He was like, you know, he really wanted a free speech network and he did it, but he didn't, you know, he made some pitfalls.

00:54:34.000 Like with Chris Pavlovsky out there, like what pitfalls to avoid?

00:54:36.000 He went public.

00:54:37.000 That's a pitfall.

00:54:38.000 Be careful.

00:54:39.000 He made his code private.

00:54:40.000 Be careful.

00:54:41.000 That's a pitfall because then people can control it when you're no longer there and you don't have access to it anymore.

00:54:45.000 So he's made those mistakes.

00:54:47.000 And I think the great thing about Jack is he's like been through the gauntlet and that'd be why he's a great interviewer.

00:54:51.000 Well, this is the, this is the theory that he's, you know, this is like Dr. Frankenstein and Frankenstein's monster, right?

00:54:57.000 You know, I want to create life.

00:54:58.000 I want to help people, but instead I create this thing that ends up causing more harm than good.

00:55:03.000 No, I'm, I am not saying anything about Dorsey, what he's done, whether he is, uh, you know, I, I just want to make assumptions in good faith and say, he does mean what he's saying, unless it's proven otherwise, but conservatives can't jump on the, he's great horse, right.

00:55:03.000 Yeah.

00:55:19.000 Without seeing some actual results.

00:55:20.000 I'll throw this out there.

00:55:21.000 You know, I love Twitter, right?

00:55:24.000 I'm coming up on it'll be 10 years that I've been on Twitter next month.

00:55:28.000 And it is it is clearly the the simplest, most efficient mass communication system that's ever been invented in the history of mankind.

00:55:38.000 And Jack Dorsey was part of that.

00:55:38.000 Right.

00:55:40.000 So, like, everything else, I'll start, I'll always start with that.

00:55:43.000 He's made me realize I've been on Twitter for, I think, 13 years.

00:55:46.000 Yeah.

00:55:47.000 13 years!

00:55:48.000 Like, I just wanted to go back to the way it was without all this extra stuff.

00:55:52.000 That's literally it.

00:55:52.000 That's it.

00:55:53.000 When it was the free speech.

00:55:54.000 Well, it seemed nice, but it was still proprietary.

00:55:56.000 They were still spying on you.

00:55:57.000 It always seems nice in the beginning and then they start- Yeah, but you, but Alex Jones was there and he was funny.

00:56:03.000 Well, Jones never actually posted himself.

00:56:05.000 That was always staff.

00:56:06.000 But I just mean, like, his videos were there.

00:56:08.000 His videos were there, yeah.

00:56:10.000 And if you didn't like it, you could unfollow it.

00:56:11.000 Yeah, you would block him.

00:56:12.000 Or mute.

00:56:13.000 It's become so boring.

00:56:15.000 It's so sterile.

00:56:15.000 Yeah.

00:56:16.000 You guys want to know the truth?

00:56:17.000 You want to know what all that Twitter really is to me?

00:56:19.000 Is I follow news organizations, journalists, and personalities.

00:56:24.000 And so I'll see like Reuters tweet something.

00:56:26.000 And then when I retweet a news story, this is usually in the past month or so, it's just like reminding myself of the story.

00:56:31.000 Right.

00:56:32.000 So I can go back and look for it later.

00:56:33.000 I don't care to interact for the most part.

00:56:35.000 I will sometimes.

00:56:37.000 Or I'll just post garbled nonsense because it's hilarious how triggered and riled up everybody gets.

00:56:42.000 I tweeted, schools should have religious studies because, you know, great schools because kids have questions and teachers should give answers and the teacher should tell the students to keep it a secret from their parents.

00:56:51.000 Like, I just like posting things like that.

00:56:54.000 So the importance, though, of Twitter is because it serves as a narrative bottleneck, particularly for the West.

00:57:02.000 You can see this most predominantly right now with the war in Ukraine, that the opinion makers and the opinion making, it all starts on Twitter.

00:57:12.000 So then that filters down to whether it be CNN.

00:57:14.000 M plus rather be Netflix. There's been examples of TV shows that were saved just because they had great, you

00:57:21.000 know, Twitter followings. And from a geopolitical geostrategic standpoint, we've seen that so much of this

00:57:29.000 comes off of Twitter. Meanwhile, you know, to use Ukraine as an 0.62

00:57:32.000 example, because so much stuff gets censored. If you're on telegram, it's like you're watching a completely different

00:57:40.000 narrative, because it's unfiltered on there.

00:57:42.000 Now obviously, sure, there's gonna be bad actors on both sides, but Telegram is uncensored and it's very heavily focused on that, whereas Twitter is heavily censored, or Twitter is heavily censored, and you're getting a completely different narrative there.

00:57:55.000 Let's jump back to Netflix.

00:57:57.000 We have this story from CNBC.

00:57:59.000 Netflix shares crater 25% after company reports it lost subscribers for the first time in more than 10 years.

00:58:07.000 Get woke, go broke.

00:58:10.000 That's it.

00:58:11.000 Netflix.

00:58:12.000 I mean, they've done some things that are good, but I think the narrative, the machine, it's fumbling, it's bumbling, it's falling apart.

00:58:19.000 Regular people are tuning into shows like this.

00:58:22.000 The media landscape is heavily diversifying.

00:58:25.000 People are sick and tired of the machine.

00:58:27.000 They want something real and authentic.

00:58:28.000 Isn't it interesting how poorly tech companies seem to be aging over the past 10 or 20 years?

00:58:33.000 Yeah.

00:58:34.000 I mean, everyone says, I loved Netflix when it first started, now it's absolutely awful.

00:58:40.000 Same with Facebook, same with Twitter, basically every social media company.

00:58:43.000 It's because the CIA, this is my guess, is that intelligence agencies are webbed in with these things and making them do stuff and give information away and spying.

00:58:52.000 And when the codes aren't, the algorithms aren't free, copy left licenses like AGPL-3, you have no way of verifying that.

00:58:58.000 I'm getting a message that we may have to switch over to a different network.

00:59:01.000 I don't know if that matters.

00:59:02.000 to i don't know if that matters

00:59:13.000 but uh... we will try so the the the issue is that our internet is working

00:59:18.000 The stream is going up, but YouTube is not putting the show out.

00:59:21.000 Guys, we're just going to have to talk and chat then.

00:59:23.000 It was the breaking point.

00:59:23.000 This was it.

00:59:24.000 I was like, Vanguard, State Street, BlackRock.

00:59:26.000 They were like, they just used to.

00:59:27.000 We have no other networks available.

00:59:30.000 Can you, can they, are they doing it?

00:59:31.000 Yeah, they're working on it right now.

00:59:33.000 Of course.

00:59:34.000 Wait, I've got it.

00:59:36.000 Yeah, it's frozen on.

00:59:37.000 It's going to freeze on me.

00:59:38.000 Oh wait, yeah, nevermind.

00:59:39.000 Yeah, there's a delay.

00:59:40.000 Yep, freezes on Ian making the okay sign.

00:59:42.000 Exposing is freezing.

00:59:42.000 That's what it was.

00:59:44.000 The next moment I touch my finger to my thumb.

00:59:46.000 They're like, look at this.

00:59:47.000 You know, honestly, I thought this is it.

00:59:49.000 I think it was inevitable.

00:59:50.000 Oh, we're back on.

00:59:51.000 Oh, the stream is back.

00:59:52.000 What's up, everybody?

00:59:53.000 Did they switch the network?

00:59:54.000 No, that's that's live because that's me holding the phone right now.

00:59:57.000 I believe we're back.

00:59:57.000 Give us a one in chat if you can hear us.

00:59:58.000 This is weird because I'm watching.

01:00:01.000 We are back.

01:00:01.000 I'm actually watching.

01:00:02.000 Wait, infinity, infinity, infinity.

01:00:05.000 Conspiracy theorists.

01:00:06.000 Hey, everybody.

01:00:07.000 Sorry about that blip.

01:00:09.000 But how many frames did it drop?

01:00:11.000 It looks like we were down for a few minutes, but your chat was still rolling.

01:00:11.000 I'm not sure.

01:00:14.000 When I was talking about DuckTales in the old episode about a certain red and blue flag with an X that was carried by a gray uniformed army.

01:00:24.000 Don't say naughty words.

01:00:27.000 I know.

01:00:28.000 Let me just say for everybody who's listening, smash the like button.

01:00:31.000 Yes.

01:00:32.000 Subscribe to TimCast.com.

01:00:34.000 The full version and the weird minute or so, I think it was like two minutes that dropped off, will be in the podcast version.

01:00:39.000 But our internet didn't go out.

01:00:41.000 Our internet didn't go out.

01:00:42.000 I don't know if you guys saw me post in the chat.

01:00:45.000 Everything was working, but on YouTube's end, something was not going through.

01:00:50.000 Now, this has happened in the past where we've been talking about something related to China, and we've had weird YouTube drop us off.

01:01:00.000 We are, hey, the age of cyber war is upon us.

01:01:02.000 You never know who's got effective, you know, fingers in the pot.

01:01:06.000 If you can hear me smash the like button, everyone, it's the only way we'll know.

01:01:10.000 Let us know.

01:01:11.000 We need to know.

01:01:12.000 Is anybody out there?

01:01:15.000 Just to finish the story for my own autistic purposes, that episode of DuckTales on Disney Plus was removed.

01:01:22.000 Which one was it again?

01:01:25.000 The Confederacy.

01:01:25.000 Red Army, Red Flag, Gray Army.

01:01:28.000 We were in Tennessee and it was funny, we were at a gas station and there was like, the gas stations sell the Confederate flags and they call it the Rebel flag.

01:01:35.000 Right.

01:01:35.000 And there's like, it's just like funny seeing like a little girl holding it up smiling, like on the bag.

01:01:40.000 Just because of the way the left frames it and the way they freak out.

01:01:42.000 But like when you go to Tennessee or these other states, it's like totally normal and not even that big of a deal to anybody there.

01:01:47.000 Yeah, we saw one flying on a hill on the way back from Tennessee.

01:01:50.000 I was like, what is happening?

01:01:52.000 That's wild.

01:01:53.000 I want to take a moment to really appreciate the technology that we have right now.

01:01:56.000 This amazing streaming technology, cameras, microphones, the ability to communicate across the world in the blink of an eye with someone from their home.

01:02:03.000 Because like you can see, just because we have it now doesn't mean we're always going to or that we always may.

01:02:08.000 Take advantage of it while you have it.

01:02:11.000 Yeah, don't take it for granted.

01:02:12.000 That's for sure.

01:02:13.000 Agreed.

01:02:14.000 We can unify a lot of people.

01:02:16.000 I was thinking about Hitler and how he was obsessed with unification. 0.83

01:02:18.000 So we've got to unify correctly.

01:02:20.000 And I think the Why the Founding Fathers had it right because it was a group of them doing it together.

01:02:23.000 It wasn't one person.

01:02:24.000 I just noticed that we've got a ton of people smashing the like button.

01:02:26.000 So I should do a better job.

01:02:29.000 I can't tell if you can hear me.

01:02:30.000 Become a member at TimCast.com if you can hear me.

01:02:32.000 It's the only way we'll know.

01:02:34.000 I'm like, people actually did smash the like button.

01:02:36.000 Thank you so much.

01:02:37.000 Sorry, what were you saying?

01:02:39.000 Oh, just that we're right on the verge of doing something really great for society if we work together.

01:02:43.000 I think it's easy to grow a cult group of people like as a YouTuber for yourself, but you got to remember the dictatorship type thing doesn't work.

01:02:50.000 If we're going to use this technology for good, we got to do it together.

01:02:52.000 Speaking of cult YouTubers, did we play the... 0.82

01:02:57.000 Which one?

01:02:58.000 Mr. No Advertisers.

01:03:00.000 Oh, yeah.

01:03:02.000 This is nuts.

01:03:05.000 So good.

01:03:05.000 So sad.

01:03:06.000 Wow.

01:03:06.000 Just awful.

01:03:07.000 We'll base our freedom around a constitution, not around people.

01:03:10.000 Yes, of course.

01:03:10.000 The United States is not a democracy, it is a constitutional republic.

01:03:12.000 So, ladies and gentlemen, it is with the utmost remorse and respect that we mention Ethan Klein of the H3 Podcast announced—is this a clip from today?

01:03:23.000 I believe so.

01:03:24.000 In a clip that was posted today, he has no sponsors. 0.99

01:03:28.000 Because he is an existential threat to gay people. 1.00

01:03:31.000 In his own words, I believe. 1.00

01:03:32.000 In his own words.

01:03:32.000 I would like to play for you this clip from the H3TV video.

01:03:36.000 Here we go.

01:03:38.000 I'll just say this.

01:03:39.000 Let me fix the audio.

01:03:40.000 I'm very thankful to our members.

01:03:43.000 It makes this show kind of bulletproof.

01:03:47.000 Sorry, Gary Stans.

01:03:48.000 Here we go.

01:03:50.000 Today we have no sponsors because Uh, I am an existential threat to, uh, gay rights. 1.00

01:04:00.000 And all progress.

01:04:02.000 So, of course, our wonderful, uh, fans have taken it upon themselves to write all of our sponsors.

01:04:09.000 And, um, to have them, uh, can't, uh, not sponsor or not to, uh, support us.

01:04:16.000 So, we are, um, I'm very, you know, I'll just say this.

01:04:25.000 I'm very thankful to our members.

01:04:27.000 It makes this show kind of bulletproof to stuff like this, even though it's painful.

01:04:36.000 Emotionally, it's just painful that people would do that.

01:04:42.000 Okay, I want to say a few things.

01:04:44.000 First, Ethan is correct about members.

01:04:46.000 And that's why we... I wish we set up the website years ago, but you learn when you learn.

01:04:52.000 And had I known what I know now, I would have been like, that should have been the first thing we did.

01:04:56.000 Because once they started... I mean, censorship was a big problem for a while.

01:05:00.000 We had videos taken down.

01:05:02.000 That's why we dedicated this.

01:05:04.000 I will say that, you know, Ethan mentions in the clip, You expect more from the sponsors, and he's right.

01:05:11.000 He's right about that too.

01:05:12.000 You do.

01:05:13.000 You do.

01:05:14.000 But I will also add, I genuinely do feel bad for Ethan.

01:05:18.000 I think he doesn't understand what he's involved in.

01:05:21.000 I think he doesn't know what the world's become.

01:05:23.000 I think he's genuinely been lost this whole time.

01:05:26.000 So let's go back in time to January when Ethan Klein deleted episodes he had with Jordan Peterson.

01:05:32.000 He clearly did this because he was panicking about getting cancelled.

01:05:36.000 He doesn't want his business to fall apart, so he's just like, okay, fine, dude, I'll do whatever I have to.

01:05:40.000 Ethan, you should have just stood by your principles, which is edgy comedy, free speech, and having conversations with people.

01:05:48.000 We have never had one of our show sponsors cancel on us, pull out on us.

01:05:53.000 In fact, the first sponsor that I had ever had on YouTube, Virtual Shield, sponsors us to this day.

01:06:00.000 No issues, despite all the controversies, the lies, the smears, the manipulation. 0.99

01:06:04.000 And I will stand by what we believe in and what we say, and I'm not gonna play these stupid games. 1.00

01:06:11.000 Ethan started playing the games, getting scared, panicking. 0.99

01:06:15.000 He chose to get into business with these companies, and now he is sitting there saying, it sucks, I have no sponsor.

01:06:21.000 Well, look man, you gotta stand up for yourself.

01:06:24.000 You can't let these people push you around.

01:06:26.000 You should not have taken down the Jordan Peterson episode.

01:06:29.000 Because you look duplicitous, you look like you're lying, and you look desperate.

01:06:33.000 And so I hope it works out, but hey man, I can only say, if you want to get in bed with people who will push you off that metaphorical Cliff, at any moment, well, then I can only say, like, you should have prepared for this.

01:06:50.000 You should have expected it.

01:06:51.000 You knew it was going to happen.

01:06:52.000 Imagine this.

01:06:53.000 Imagine if Ethan Klein, instead of deleting the Jordan Peterson episode, came out and said, they're telling me if I don't delete this episode, they're going to pull my sponsors.

01:07:02.000 Pull them.

01:07:02.000 I will not take down the conversation now with Dr. Peterson.

01:07:05.000 Imagine how much he'd be supported.

01:07:06.000 Oh, you get 100,000 more followers that subscribe to his network.

01:07:09.000 All I can say is I hate to say I told you so, Ian.

01:07:13.000 If you had just embodied the archetypal hero- Oh my goodness, I've been sitting across from this fella for too long.

01:07:18.000 Apologize for that error.

01:07:19.000 I hate to say I told you so, Ethan.

01:07:22.000 If he- Here's what he did.

01:07:24.000 He said to the people who try to threaten you by having your sponsors taken, that he will comply.

01:07:30.000 He said, yes, if you are somebody who is sponsoring my work, I will dilute my message and walk back things I've said in the past once you've told me not to.

01:07:39.000 You're inviting control at that point.

01:07:41.000 And also, I want to point out that when you cultivate a fan base full of people who would cancel someone, guess what happens to you eventually?

01:07:53.000 You get canceled.

01:07:54.000 It's not that complicated.

01:07:57.000 I feel like this is a guy who got started doing edgy comedy on Reddit and YouTube.

01:08:02.000 Yes.

01:08:02.000 Things like that.

01:08:03.000 And then as times went on, he thought, I just better say what they're saying.

01:08:08.000 The problem is, once again, this is not mainstream America.

01:08:11.000 He is bending the knee to weirdos.

01:08:14.000 Jordan Peterson is popular among regular people.

01:08:18.000 The people who don't like him are the fringe weirdos.

01:08:20.000 Regular people do like him.

01:08:23.000 So when you say, I'm going to take it down because he's a bad guy, you got tricked.

01:08:26.000 Ethan Klein got tricked.

01:08:28.000 And now, what's he going to do?

01:08:29.000 You know, I'm seeing everyone on the right mock him and they're laughing about it.

01:08:34.000 Jordan Peterson told him that eventually he'd be held to a standard.

01:08:37.000 By the very mob he currently wishes to please, then you will make a mistake and they will devour you with glee.

01:08:42.000 Please take this warning seriously.

01:08:44.000 I liked you.

01:08:45.000 Ethan should not have sided with those seeking to destroy.

01:08:49.000 He should have sided with those seeking to protect and to develop.

01:08:52.000 Because if he came out and said, I liked talking to Dr. Peterson on more than one occasion.

01:08:57.000 I may not agree with everything he has to say, but we have to defend our right to say these things.

01:09:01.000 Then they'd be like, we're going to harass your sponsors.

01:09:02.000 And he'd be like, okay.

01:09:04.000 And then people on the right would be like, we got sponsors for you, buddy.

01:09:07.000 Don't worry.

01:09:07.000 We appreciate you standing by your principles and doing your thing.

01:09:10.000 But too, too much.

01:09:11.000 Ethan has been drifting into just saying whatever the left wants.

01:09:14.000 And, and look at what happens.

01:09:16.000 You know, he did that thing with Hassan.

01:09:18.000 You want to live with people?

01:09:20.000 Like you want to work with people who will destroy you in two seconds?

01:09:23.000 By all means, you go ahead and do it.

01:09:25.000 But I don't know what I can do for you when your life is destroyed by these very people.

01:09:28.000 We can supply technology that you can use, Ethan, in the future for direct subscription content so you can bypass like Patreon and crap like that.

01:09:36.000 Take control of your network.

01:09:37.000 We'll do it.

01:09:38.000 We'll work together, man.

01:09:38.000 I like you.

01:09:39.000 I am real quick on the issue with our stream.

01:09:44.000 Every message I'm getting in is people saying that the minute it stopped was right when Ian started talking about Intel Collection via social media.

01:09:52.000 Yeah, it's hard to tell.

01:09:53.000 I said even it was like the CIA, but there's no way to know.

01:09:55.000 You definitely said CIA.

01:09:56.000 Yeah, I said CIA, and then people were like, CIA, shut him down!

01:09:58.000 Yeah, and then Intelligence Network immediately stopped.

01:10:00.000 And someone, I think, may have pointed out foreign networks as well, because when I'm talking intelligence agencies, it doesn't have to be an American one.

01:10:05.000 Wait, you just said it again.

01:10:06.000 Okay, but, but, but, and he should.

01:10:08.000 Show's gonna freeze.

01:10:09.000 But to be fair, You know, Ethan Klein, he gets cancelled by the left and loses sponsors.

01:10:16.000 We call out the CIA and then our stream just freezes in midstream.

01:10:19.000 So, you know, you gotta choose.

01:10:20.000 I'm working with the American government.

01:10:22.000 We are the good guys.

01:10:23.000 I'm even down with secret agencies, man.

01:10:25.000 The world is harsh.

01:10:26.000 Look, what you need to do is, obviously, because he's now a free agent, apparently, Because Malcolm Nance is no longer working for MSNBC.

01:10:37.000 You need to sign him up as a special foreign correspondent for Timcast.

01:10:43.000 For Timcast IRL.

01:10:45.000 Would you sign Malcolm Nance?

01:10:46.000 No.

01:10:47.000 But why? 0.98

01:10:49.000 Because he's a bad person.

01:10:51.000 Did he actually go to war?

01:10:52.000 Is that what happened?

01:10:52.000 He was an intelligence officer.

01:10:54.000 No, he's not an intelligence officer.

01:10:55.000 He was never a naval intelligence officer?

01:10:57.000 Never a naval intelligence officer.

01:10:58.000 Wikipedia says he was.

01:10:59.000 He was a Navy chief, which is not an officer, and he was a linguist.

01:11:05.000 That is not the same thing.

01:11:06.000 Wikipedia was wrong.

01:11:07.000 Oh my gosh, no.

01:11:09.000 He's got a picture of himself like he's in Ukraine with tactical gear.

01:11:12.000 You saw the video, right?

01:11:13.000 Yeah, where he's looking at his watch and he's like, the missiles!

01:11:16.000 It's Southwest!

01:11:16.000 They're coming!

01:11:18.000 Stand by!

01:11:19.000 And he's like, he's like when my dad... Everyone else is just sitting there like, dude, what are you doing?

01:11:19.000 Stand by!

01:11:22.000 Everyone's like walking around the background.

01:11:23.000 My dad, you know, when we were little, he used to, you know, you know, when you hear the lightning and thunder and you can, you know, count how many seconds between the flash, it's like 1, 1,000, 2, 1,000.

01:11:33.000 And then, but Nance is doing that for missiles.

01:11:36.000 They're flying over.

01:11:37.000 That's a cruise anti-ship missile.

01:11:40.000 It's coming from a ship!

01:11:42.000 Towards us now, and everyone's like, okay dude, you're fine.

01:11:48.000 Yeah, we know.

01:11:49.000 We're aware.

01:11:50.000 I want to talk to you guys about Twisting Universe.

01:11:53.000 You down to go on that?

01:11:54.000 Maybe in a little bit.

01:11:55.000 Five minutes.

01:11:57.000 We should talk about... Ethan having him on the show?

01:12:00.000 Well, Ethan's welcome on the show, but I don't think he'd do it because...

01:12:05.000 They never want to.

01:12:05.000 Actually, there's a lefty guy who's tweeting at me.

01:12:07.000 He's DMing me right now, like, why aren't I on the show?

01:12:09.000 Here's the issue with the left, as we often bring this up.

01:12:12.000 Prominent left personalities always have an excuse as to why they won't come and do a show.

01:12:17.000 It's always Ben Shapiro yelling, debate me!

01:12:19.000 Or at least the meme, right?

01:12:21.000 But when it comes to the left, they're like, I'm not going on your show!

01:12:24.000 Or they'll publicly be like, I'll go on a show!

01:12:26.000 I can do it!

01:12:27.000 I saw your whole thing with Hasan the other day.

01:12:29.000 Yeah, because he said he would come out and come on the show, but then he DM'd me and he was like, hey bro, COVID, I'm pretty scared of COVID, so I don't want to do it.

01:12:37.000 And I said, I get it, man.

01:12:38.000 That was the first time.

01:12:40.000 That was the first time.

01:12:41.000 And then this time, he got mad because Hasan tweeted a joke.

01:12:41.000 Right.

01:12:45.000 David Pakman said, do you know anybody who's pro-abortion?

01:12:49.000 Hasan then said, me, I'm trying to do this.

01:12:52.000 David Pakman said, that sounds weird.

01:12:53.000 Someone said, what's wrong with more abortions? 1.00

01:12:55.000 I screen grabbed that and posted it with no comment.

01:12:58.000 I thought it was funny.

01:12:58.000 I thought the whole interaction was funny.

01:12:59.000 No comment.

01:13:00.000 And Hasan responds with, it's a joke, man.

01:13:03.000 Do you need me to put slash S?

01:13:04.000 And I'm like, I didn't say it wasn't a joke.

01:13:06.000 I literally just reposted what you did.

01:13:08.000 So then he made a tweet about how, you know, me and Dave Rubin or whatever.

01:13:12.000 And then he, I was like, we claim to claim to be progressives or true progressives.

01:13:17.000 And, or, or, or like we're people who are rallying people who claim to be true progressives.

01:13:20.000 And I was like, I've never said I was a progressive.

01:13:22.000 I am not a progressive.

01:13:23.000 I am a centrist moderate.

01:13:25.000 And he's like, you're literally doing what I'm making fun of you for.

01:13:27.000 And I'm like, dude, I was like, that's not an argument.

01:13:30.000 You're welcome to come on the show and give a conversation.

01:13:33.000 And then all of a sudden, I'm not coming on your show.

01:13:35.000 I won't do it.

01:13:37.000 And then I was like, oh, here we go.

01:13:38.000 Here we go.

01:13:39.000 You know, so we got a guy who wants to come on the show.

01:13:41.000 Right, he was saying because you're another part of the country and the travel and cut into my Twitch streaming.

01:13:47.000 But, you know, he agreed to do it before and COVID was the reason.

01:13:51.000 And now it's, oh, I'm too busy.

01:13:52.000 And I'm like, dude, I can respect if you're busy.

01:13:54.000 It's hard for me to travel to go to other people's shows.

01:13:56.000 I still bought a trailer.

01:13:57.000 We drove down to Nashville and I went on a bunch of, I went on Candace's show on the Daily Wire.

01:14:02.000 I went on their sports show and I went on Backstage Live.

01:14:04.000 I will make that happen.

01:14:05.000 And so I was like, dude, I'll get the trailer.

01:14:07.000 We'll bring it to LA.

01:14:08.000 It'll be really difficult.

01:14:09.000 But we'll figure that out.

01:14:10.000 Spend a week in LA, maybe.

01:14:11.000 I don't really want to.

01:14:12.000 How was the drive to Nashville, by the way?

01:14:14.000 Oh, it was fun.

01:14:14.000 Was it good?

01:14:15.000 It was cool.

01:14:15.000 That looks like it'd be nice, yeah.

01:14:16.000 We listened to A Hook by Blues Traveler a few times.

01:14:19.000 That song is amazing.

01:14:20.000 Yeah, and Judy by Purple Circle.

01:14:21.000 Good guitar.

01:14:22.000 Amazing guitar.

01:14:22.000 Love Purple Circle.

01:14:23.000 And one of the best songs I've heard in a while by Nickelback, The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

01:14:27.000 And I am being completely serious.

01:14:29.000 I cannot believe that was actually Nickelback.

01:14:30.000 He actually put it on before the episode, and it was... And I... I'm saying this live.

01:14:37.000 It's good.

01:14:38.000 Nickelback's good, you can say.

01:14:39.000 It's a good Nickelback song.

01:14:41.000 But it's not a Nickelback song.

01:14:42.000 But it's not a Nickelback song.

01:14:44.000 So Nickelback does a good version of another song.

01:14:46.000 Here's the other issue.

01:14:47.000 We've got somebody on the left.

01:14:48.000 The people who want to come on the show that are on the left have no followers.

01:14:52.000 They're not particularly prominent individuals.

01:14:55.000 I get messages from people who are like, I'd love to come on the show.

01:14:58.000 And I'm like, dude, I'm not saying you shouldn't come on the show just because you have no followers, because that's not the prerequisite for being on the show, but it's the body of work.

01:15:07.000 And typically there's a correlation between someone who's not particularly prominent and a limited body of work for which we can actually comment on.

01:15:15.000 And then what happens is you bring on someone who is A limited body of work and a low following count.

01:15:21.000 And when you end up destroying them in a debate, the left then says, the only thing you could do is bring on this guy who's like not even that good because he couldn't get a real debate.

01:15:30.000 And it's just like, I got no problem.

01:15:32.000 We'll have, we'll have, we we've got a few people come on.

01:15:34.000 You've had people come on that only have a few thousand followers because followers is not the reason.

01:15:38.000 We've had people come on with no, with no social media and things like that.

01:15:41.000 I'm just referring to body of work.

01:15:42.000 And you let Ian come on.

01:15:43.000 Yeah.

01:15:43.000 Thanks, by the way.

01:15:44.000 Oh, right, of course.

01:15:45.000 Actually, Ian's got a bunch of followers.

01:15:46.000 The first time I was ever invited, I really had to have a long debate with myself about whether I wanted to platform Tim.

01:15:51.000 I was like, am I promoting this?

01:15:52.000 I know, right? 0.92

01:15:53.000 I got a feeling that a lot of people are afraid that if they come talk to you, that you'll bring up, like, information and over, like, just destroy them with, like, not destroy, but take them to town with information and facts, and then they'll feel like an idiot and look humiliated when, in fact, they can just come hang out and just, like, learn.

01:16:08.000 But the problem is, like, do you guys remember when Hunter Avalon was on this show?

01:16:13.000 Yeah.

01:16:13.000 He tried challenging me on the Ukraine story with Biden.

01:16:17.000 And I'm like, I was like, wow, you're really going to- Was this when he was trying, so he, cause he like got big as, as like a conservative.

01:16:23.000 And then he tried to like veer really hard to the left.

01:16:25.000 And so this was after he was already now like- Oh, right, right, right.

01:16:28.000 But he was like, I mentioned the Joe Biden, you know, well, SOB guy got fired.

01:16:33.000 He's like, that didn't happen.

01:16:34.000 And I was like, yeah, he's like, no, I didn't.

01:16:35.000 And I'm like, here's the video.

01:16:36.000 And then I'm like, bro, don't come here having done no research, but acting like you know these stories.

01:16:42.000 I've dug in and done so much journalism on this stuff.

01:16:44.000 The problem is with people like him and is that he sees memes and thinks Tim Pool has no idea what he's talking about and just repeats right-wing talking points.

01:16:52.000 When literally all day this morning, I was digging into the Washington Post story, looking at public records and doing legit hours of like real research and journalism.

01:17:01.000 I make phone calls.

01:17:02.000 I do the work.

01:17:03.000 It is rough.

01:17:04.000 Mayo Gate, I love this story, actually called the restaurant.

01:17:07.000 I call for comment.

01:17:08.000 We do this all the time.

01:17:09.000 I reached out to Taylor Renz for comment.

01:17:10.000 I reached out to the Washington Post for comment.

01:17:12.000 Our newsroom did this stuff.

01:17:13.000 We do the research.

01:17:14.000 These people see these memes and these meme clips, and they're like, the right silly talking points.

01:17:20.000 Dude shows up here and says, Joe Biden never said that.

01:17:22.000 I was like, are you kidding, bro?

01:17:23.000 Did you even Google it?

01:17:24.000 Here's the video, and I played it, and he's like, oh, that really happened.

01:17:26.000 And then I'm like, let's talk about Mykola Zachevsky.

01:17:29.000 Let's talk about the formation of Burisma.

01:17:30.000 Let's talk about the former CIA guy who's working on there.

01:17:33.000 Let's talk about Gazprom.

01:17:34.000 Dude, you do not want to get involved with me.

01:17:36.000 I was in Ukraine.

01:17:37.000 I went there.

01:17:38.000 I watched those protests happen.

01:17:39.000 I'm not going to pretend to be the expert of all experts on this stuff.

01:17:42.000 But man, for these people living on the internet, doing no research, then they finally come here and it is like getting slammed by a tidal wave where it's like, oh, wow.

01:17:53.000 Boy, do they look bad.

01:17:54.000 And the problem is, for many of these people, is they want to maintain this facade of, I'm on the left.

01:17:59.000 Well, what happens when they come and sit down with Steve Bannon, and Steve Bannon goes, tax the rich.

01:18:05.000 And they go, I agree, Steve Bannon.

01:18:06.000 And then everyone on the left is like, they're agreeing with Steve Bannon.

01:18:10.000 There you go.

01:18:11.000 That's one of the big problems I know the left does not like.

01:18:14.000 You know who I think is good?

01:18:15.000 Destiny.

01:18:16.000 Or was it Stephen Bonnell III?

01:18:17.000 Because that guy has no problem telling it exactly how he thinks.

01:18:21.000 He and I got into it once though.

01:18:23.000 And that's fine.

01:18:23.000 But it was because he accused me of not of lying about being in the military and lying about being in the IC and I did not take that well.

01:18:30.000 When he came on the show, he has no problem.

01:18:32.000 And it didn't go well for him.

01:18:33.000 He knows the stories.

01:18:34.000 He knows what he thinks about them.

01:18:35.000 We just disagree.

01:18:36.000 And I'm like, I can respect that.

01:18:37.000 But there are many people where they think they're going to come on this show and they're going to be like, you think this about race.

01:18:43.000 And I'm like, no, I agree with you on systemic racism.

01:18:45.000 And they're like, you do?

01:18:46.000 And I'm like, yeah, do you watch this show?

01:18:48.000 And they're like, no.

01:18:50.000 But I saw memes once, so this is one of the reasons I think they really do not want to come on the show.

01:18:55.000 Hasan will come on the show.

01:18:56.000 You know what the last thing I said about Hasan before that tweet thread was?

01:18:59.000 That he was right.

01:19:00.000 There was a story that came out, I can't remember exactly what it was, it was months ago, and I was like, he was Julian Assange, I think.

01:19:06.000 I defended him because people were ragging on him about Julian Assange, and I was like, Hasan did not, like, was making a joke about Assange.

01:19:13.000 She did not literally say this, and I'm like, it's silly, we don't need to go after him, blah, blah, blah, blah, just because, And then the dude gets mad at me because he doesn't actually watch the show.

01:19:22.000 If Hassan came on this show, he'd be like, what about this? 0.99

01:19:24.000 And I'd be like, I agree.

01:19:25.000 And Ian would be like, I agree.

01:19:27.000 And Shams would be like, yeah, actually, I agree with the details of that. 1.00

01:19:30.000 I may disagree on policy.

01:19:31.000 And then what's he going to say?

01:19:32.000 What's he going to argue about?

01:19:33.000 All of a sudden, the narrative is going to be Hassan goes on Timcast and agrees with everything they're saying.

01:19:37.000 He must be far right.

01:19:39.000 Yeah, just talk about your past, man.

01:19:40.000 Let's learn about where it got you to video streaming and into it.

01:19:43.000 You used to work for the Young Turks.

01:19:45.000 Like, what's your relationship with Cenk when you guys were young?

01:19:47.000 You know, that kind of stuff.

01:19:49.000 Let's just show humans that we can interoperate and still have different views.

01:19:53.000 I tweeted at him.

01:19:53.000 He was like, why can't I go on Zoom?

01:19:55.000 And I was like, we don't do Zoom.

01:19:57.000 Internet makes us hate each other.

01:19:58.000 It's better to sit down, shake hands, and talk about it.

01:20:01.000 And that's why we do it the way we do.

01:20:03.000 Andy Ngo hit me up and he's like, can I do your show remote?

01:20:06.000 And I said, sorry, dude, can't do it.

01:20:07.000 Then he came here.

01:20:08.000 Lauren Southern, can I come on your show remote?

01:20:11.000 I said, we don't do remote.

01:20:12.000 You said you can't even do it in person, Lauren.

01:20:14.000 We don't want to see you around here.

01:20:16.000 Yeah.

01:20:16.000 And well, uh, even for Andy Ngo and Lauren Southern.

01:20:20.000 What about Snowden?

01:20:23.000 I don't want to do it.

01:20:24.000 I really do not want to do it.

01:20:26.000 I remember watching Joe Rogan's episodes where he did Zoom and I was like, not fun.

01:20:30.000 His Snowden episode has 30 million views just because it's Snowden.

01:20:33.000 He's in lockdown somewhere.

01:20:35.000 I don't do this for 30 million views.

01:20:37.000 I want to sit down with people and talk.

01:20:39.000 So would you go to Russia to interview Snowden?

01:20:42.000 The problem is... Assuming, you know, travel was fine and all.

01:20:46.000 Oh, two seconds.

01:20:47.000 Yeah.

01:20:47.000 The real issue is that I can't run a business while flying to Russia, you know what I mean?

01:20:51.000 Yeah.

01:20:51.000 We're trying to get to that point.

01:20:53.000 We know exactly what you mean.

01:20:54.000 Why are you scared of debating Snowden?

01:20:55.000 So you won't debate Snowden then?

01:20:57.000 You're terrified?

01:20:58.000 I would love to debate Snowden and say that you published documents without going through them and redacting critical information, and that was a serious intelligence risk.

01:21:07.000 I don't view Edward Snowden as a whistleblower, I view him as a leaker, because he did not actually review the documents that he was giving away.

01:21:14.000 And he's admitted to that.

01:21:15.000 I can respect that he admitted to it.

01:21:17.000 I think the distinction is important.

01:21:18.000 He did expose a bunch of really important things.

01:21:19.000 That's fantastic.

01:21:21.000 But I think terminology is important in understanding what someone did.

01:21:24.000 Someone who sees malfeasance and says, hey, you guys gotta know about this whistleblower.

01:21:28.000 Someone who says, I see bad stuff.

01:21:29.000 I'm gonna take all of it and just give it to journalists.

01:21:31.000 I'm like, leaker.

01:21:32.000 Different thing.

01:21:33.000 You know, he did blow the whistle technically.

01:21:35.000 What about Manning then?

01:21:37.000 Manning was a whistleblower, a collateral murder.

01:21:39.000 That was incredible, by the way.

01:21:41.000 But didn't Manning still grab a bunch of documents?

01:21:43.000 There were a bunch of documents, yes.

01:21:45.000 It depends.

01:21:46.000 I don't know exactly.

01:21:47.000 I'd have to research the Manning stuff.

01:21:48.000 The issue with Snowden was that Snowden has admitted to being like, I didn't read this.

01:21:52.000 And it's like, okay, well, then you're just leaking stuff that you don't actually know what you're putting out there.

01:21:56.000 And I think it was actually, it might've been John Oliver, who was like, in the documents you released, there was unredacted critical information that put people at risk.

01:22:04.000 And he was like, I didn't check.

01:22:06.000 Or no, he was like, uh, it was published by the journalists.

01:22:09.000 They failed to redact.

01:22:10.000 And he was like, I didn't, I didn't know.

01:22:13.000 And he's like, shouldn't you have to like, isn't that your responsibility?

01:22:15.000 And so I was like, yeah, that is, I guess.

01:22:17.000 So I can respect that, you know, but, uh, we got a few minutes.

01:22:20.000 Ian wanted to mention that the universe is twisting out of control.

01:22:22.000 Yeah, well, it's definitely interesting.

01:22:24.000 Under control, apparently.

01:22:25.000 There's this theory that the universe is expanding, and a big part of that is because when they look far, far out into the universe, beyond the galaxy, they see what's called a redshift.

01:22:32.000 It looks like the stuff that's further away, that the wavelengths of light are getting longer.

01:22:38.000 So I started to think about wavelength, and I brought this little prop.

01:22:41.000 And I'm sorry, if you're not watching the video, you're gonna have to get a hold of one of the videos so you can watch this part and get an idea, but maybe you can imagine along with me.

01:22:46.000 Look at this, look at this wavelength.

01:22:48.000 Now, imagine it's on a flat plane.

01:22:49.000 It's gonna look like a very short wavelength, like, da-na-na-na-na.

01:22:52.000 It's very short.

01:22:53.000 If this wavelength turns sideways, the wavelength itself becomes longer.

01:22:58.000 It's the same wave, you're just looking at it from a different angle.

01:23:01.000 So, it will attempt, it will begin to appear red as it's turning.

01:23:05.000 And then I started thinking of the Taurus and how maybe we're on like a donut, like on the Taurus, twisting around itself, seeing the outside of the universe from a different angle.

01:23:14.000 So we see the light reflecting.

01:23:16.000 And then I started thinking about the singularity at the center of every black hole and every Taurus, toroidal black hole, perhaps, and the Big Bang.

01:23:24.000 And I think what's happening is as we're twisting around, once we twist back through the center, we have what we consider the Big Crunch.

01:23:29.000 And then when we come out the other side of the center, it expands open into what we might think is the Big Bang.

01:23:34.000 I tweeted about it.

01:23:35.000 You can follow along.

01:23:36.000 Ian posted this image of the donut universe.

01:23:38.000 So Ian believes the universe is both hollow and flat.

01:23:43.000 I'm not saying that the universe is not expanding.

01:23:46.000 It might still be expanding.

01:23:47.000 It's just the main piece of evidence for the expansion is the redshift.

01:23:50.000 And if this also explains the redshift, then...

01:23:53.000 Um, then you could argue that you may want to remove that evidence as part of the expansion theory.

01:23:57.000 Ian is effectively arguing for solid-state theory, just a little different version of it.

01:24:03.000 Solid-state theory was like before the Big Bang.

01:24:04.000 They believed the universe just was, and it was like, you know... Yeah, and then that this would be a black hole that we're inside of, that's inside of another universe that's also a black hole, which is ever fractally...

01:24:14.000 I believe Hawking had a theory as well about multiple Big Bangs, which kind of lines up with what you're saying.

01:24:21.000 Like it just keeps happening over and over.

01:24:24.000 How does that explain the Big Bang?

01:24:26.000 Well, that once you're twisting around back and through the center, you experience the singularity or the big crunch where everything comes together for a moment and then expands back out again.

01:24:34.000 Oh, I see.

01:24:34.000 So it folds in on itself.

01:24:36.000 If you're in the inside and then coming out the other side, it looks like it's exploding, like blasting out.

01:24:41.000 Right.

01:24:42.000 So actually I would, I would say your twisting universe theory is you have a three dimensional representation of a twisting universe, but perhaps it's actually a multi, it's beyond three dimensions.

01:24:51.000 Oh yeah.

01:24:52.000 Yeah, the universe is... Yeah, this is a three-dimensional way to look at it.

01:24:54.000 But I think, Ian, you should read about M-theory and string theory.

01:24:59.000 Yeah, Eric Weinstein particularly has a geometrical unity theory, and he talks a lot about that the universe is also a torus.

01:25:06.000 And Nassim Harriman talks about the universe in the Schwarzschild proton paper, how it's equal density, which made no sense because it was expanding.

01:25:13.000 So with this theory, this could explain why there's equal density in the universe, too.

01:25:18.000 I've read a little bit about M-theory a while ago, and it looks like this is a rudimentary concept.

01:25:22.000 Interesting.

01:25:23.000 Yeah, like, if you actually read M-theory, you'd be like, oh, this is a few steps before where we're actually at.

01:25:28.000 One thing I keep finding with science is that there's so many ways to explain something.

01:25:32.000 You can explain it two-dimensionally, three-dimensionally, four-dimensionally, five-dimensionally, and they're all right.

01:25:35.000 They're all different ways.

01:25:36.000 Like, the electric universe is real, gravity is real, but they're just different ways of looking at the force.

01:25:42.000 What's amazing to me is that so, and Seamus, you probably know about this too, so Isaac Newton, right?

01:25:47.000 And we credit him and I was on The War Room, we talked about this a little bit on the Easter special, that Newton was, you know, he's basically credited for obviously being one of the smartest guys that ever lived, you know, arguably, you know, developed calculus, at least independently, you know, master of Cambridge for years and years.

01:26:07.000 But he didn't even consider himself a mathematician.

01:26:11.000 He thought that was just like a side gig.

01:26:13.000 And what he really focused on was theology, the Bible, secrets of the universe.

01:26:20.000 They call it alchemy and occult thinking.

01:26:23.000 But what he really was interested in was this idea of codes in the Bible, codes in the pyramids, millions and millions of words that he wrote about this after he left Cambridge that people just totally dismissed.

01:26:35.000 When you were talking about Jesus dying and then going through hell before he ascended to heaven, it made me think of the Taurus and going through the center of the singularity experiencing hell to be rebirthed.

01:26:45.000 We were talking about that a little bit prior to that.

01:26:47.000 Maybe we can do that in the after show.

01:26:49.000 Talk more about that.

01:26:50.000 We can do that if you want, but that's the theory, the layers of hell.

01:26:53.000 Tim, you brought up a cool graphic.

01:26:54.000 So what's this?

01:26:55.000 String theory.

01:26:56.000 Tell me about it.

01:26:57.000 It's string theory.

01:26:58.000 I'm not a physicist.

01:27:00.000 M-theory also?

01:27:01.000 I think M-Theory is an advanced version of it, but I'm not a physicist.

01:27:05.000 I read one book a long time ago, but the general idea is the universe is like a series of membranes that are folding.

01:27:10.000 So it could be a bunch of toruses all like, you know, like this thing behind me.

01:27:14.000 Where is it?

01:27:15.000 Over here.

01:27:16.000 It's like a bunch of toruses all layered on top of each other, like maybe 64 of them.

01:27:20.000 And then you get a shape like that.

01:27:23.000 Could be something.

01:27:24.000 Perhaps.

01:27:25.000 I mean, that's like in motion, but we just took a snapshot of it.

01:27:27.000 Or the earth is both hollow and flat.

01:27:30.000 Donut Earth Theory.

01:27:31.000 Tell me more.

01:27:32.000 Well, you know, I was reading these people saying that the Earth was hollow, and I was like, interesting.

01:27:36.000 But then I saw these people saying the Earth was flat, and I'm like, why not both?

01:27:40.000 That's a more fun theory, in my opinion.

01:27:42.000 Donut Earth?

01:27:43.000 What is inside the Donut Earth?

01:27:44.000 Jelly.

01:27:48.000 Boston cream.

01:27:48.000 No, I'm going to go with jelly.

01:27:50.000 So it's full of Taylor Lorentz?

01:27:53.000 There are probably gigantic caverns underground, which may have huge rivers and oceans and like plant, like fungus that grows and glows like iridescent light and animals we've never seen before.

01:28:04.000 What if it turned out that, like, the surface world is the North Korea of Earth, and that, you know, deep underground are advanced civilizations of humans, and then we're just living in this dictatorship where they don't let us go to the North Pole to go into the hole, into hollow Earth?

01:28:19.000 Oh, and they're controlling us through the elf band, the extremely low frequency, which is another interesting, the elf band of radiation, the extremely low frequency band, and Michael Malice talks about DMT and seeing elves.

01:28:30.000 You see this elf band of frequency that is apparently interconnecting the human consciousness.

01:28:34.000 Maybe they're affecting it from underground.

01:28:37.000 Maybe!

01:28:37.000 That's kind of a joke.

01:28:38.000 But how about we affect super chats?

01:28:40.000 So if you haven't already, smash that like button, become members at TimCast.com if you want to watch the members-only show coming up, and become a member in general just to support the work our journalists do, because I gotta say, 90 plus percent of what you'll get from TimCast.com is just the journalism that we put out, and it is only possible because we have members.

01:28:59.000 So that is the true value of the site, because if we got to the point where we had like 200,000 members, then you would be seeing our articles everywhere, We want to get to the point where breaking news doesn't come from fake news manipulators and liars who dox.

01:29:11.000 It comes from real journalists, and that's what we're working on.

01:29:13.000 So don't forget to smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and let's read some Super Chats.

01:29:19.000 Gerald Armstrong says, Tim, we need to spread the word and find out what happened to Gonzalo Lira.

01:29:24.000 What happened to Gonzalo Lira?

01:29:26.000 Well, from what I can tell, he was in Ukraine documenting the war.

01:29:30.000 The Daily Beast did an article about him and took a lot of stuff out of context from what I could see.

01:29:35.000 He was a PUA guy at first, right?

01:29:36.000 What's a PUA?

01:29:37.000 Pickup artist.

01:29:37.000 Yeah, he was a pickup artist, like a YouTuber.

01:29:39.000 Like he's not even particularly political prior to this.

01:29:43.000 And either he said some wrong thing.

01:29:45.000 I mean, when your country's at war, if you start talking out against your country, I imagine they're going to use an enemy.

01:29:50.000 No, I don't think he's Ukrainian though.

01:29:51.000 No, he's an American in Ukraine, but he was in Ukraine.

01:29:53.000 I think he's born in Chile, actually.

01:29:56.000 So Chilean, but has American citizenship, but somehow ends up... I don't know the whole details there.

01:30:01.000 Yeah, American-Chilean. 0.77

01:30:03.000 But he was in, I believe it was Kharkiv, in Ukraine, posting videos.

01:30:09.000 I saw one of his videos.

01:30:11.000 I didn't find anything threatening by his video or anything like that.

01:30:14.000 I mean, he was just posting basically his theories about some stuff that was going on in the media.

01:30:19.000 From the quotes I saw from Daily Beast, it made him look like a Putin apologist and that he thought Russia was in the right.

01:30:23.000 It was kind of framing it like that.

01:30:25.000 And then all of a sudden he disappeared.

01:30:26.000 Now no one knows where he is.

01:30:27.000 Well, so he had a tweet up that went hyper viral and he said, if you want to know the truth about Ukraine, look up these, and I think it was like seven names of various figures and oligarchs throughout Ukraine.

01:30:39.000 And then he said something to the extent of, if you don't hear from me in 12 hours, you know, this will be the last, my last tweet or something.

01:30:45.000 And then, and then he actually disappeared after that.

01:30:47.000 Wow.

01:30:48.000 All right, well, let's read more.

01:30:49.000 We got Sorta, who says, Let's talk more chickens!

01:30:53.000 That's right, Chicken City is up and running and one of the most successful superchatted livestreams in the world.

01:31:00.000 No joke.

01:31:02.000 Yeah, seriously, I think after we get a few months of Chicken City up and running, you'll see it appear in the top rankings.

01:31:07.000 But based on the current trend of averaging, I think we're averaging around like $1,200 a day.

01:31:11.000 One day we had like $1,500, one day we had like $1,900, then we had like $1,200.

01:31:16.000 So, people really do enjoy feeding chickens.

01:31:19.000 Shut up to Roberto. 0.86

01:31:20.000 Plus, the chicken parties. 0.99

01:31:21.000 The king of the chickens.

01:31:22.000 Yeah, he's going to be retiring soon, though.

01:31:24.000 Oh, right.

01:31:24.000 Because Sarah had a son, so he's a Brahma, and he's going to be really big.

01:31:28.000 He's a big rooster.

01:31:29.000 And so, we want, you know, those big rooster genes.

01:31:32.000 We want to make the chickens all bigger.

01:31:33.000 So, we're going to be, you know, he's going to take over.

01:31:35.000 A new stud.

01:31:36.000 Roberto Junior will be in charge for a while.

01:31:38.000 Roberto is going to go retire at the boys' dormitory.

01:31:40.000 And then, you know, we got some roosters coming in.

01:31:43.000 Toxic masculinity.

01:31:44.000 It doesn't sound like a democracy at all.

01:31:45.000 No, no.

01:31:46.000 In fact, when Dorothy was getting loved too much by Roberto, because this happens, they get a favorite.

01:31:53.000 It ruins their backs and rips their feathers out.

01:31:56.000 So we had to put her in sex jail. 1.00

01:31:59.000 And a lot of people were like, why are you putting the victim in jail?

01:32:01.000 And I was like, because it's just chicken society is different.

01:32:05.000 It's protective custody.

01:32:06.000 Right.

01:32:06.000 the chickens, he does his thing. But if you take him out, then when they come back in,

01:32:11.000 he'll fight with the other rooster. Because they're going to try and reset a pecking order.

01:32:14.000 So it's the, we have two roosters, we have a bunch of hens and it works because the younger

01:32:19.000 rooster knows his place. If you take one out and reintroduce them to adult mature roosters

01:32:24.000 are going to be like, I would like to, it's not going to be that bad people.

01:32:28.000 Like, they're not fighting roosters.

01:32:29.000 It's not gonna be, like, a rooster fight like people think happens.

01:32:32.000 They'll chase each other around a bit, and then they'll get into a fight and then stop, but we don't need to do that.

01:32:37.000 So, it's easier to just take out the one hen.

01:32:39.000 I tried getting a bib for her back to protect it, like armor, but he kept flipping the bib off, I guess?

01:32:44.000 No, she would rip it off, she didn't like it.

01:32:45.000 Oh, oh.

01:32:45.000 Yeah.

01:32:46.000 Yep, yep.

01:32:47.000 So, but, uh, when Roberto retires, Roberto Jr.

01:32:49.000 will come in and it's not going to have that problem.

01:32:51.000 And then we're going to put an immature male who will view him as the boss.

01:32:55.000 And then once he grows up, he'll see him as the boss and we've got to worry about it.

01:32:57.000 So that's, you know, we'll be cycling them out.

01:33:00.000 All right.

01:33:00.000 Let's read some more.

01:33:02.000 We got, Balian says, Jack, curious if you talked with Kelly Shibaka of AK running to take Murkowski's seat and what your opinion of her is.

01:33:10.000 Also curious if you guys have tried getting her on your show.

01:33:13.000 I haven't spoken to her directly, though I have seen her all over Bannon's War Room,

01:33:20.000 and she goes on quite frequently.

01:33:22.000 Alaska's an interesting state, right, to understand politically, because you'll have people who

01:33:27.000 like, they love smoking weed, but they also love guns, right?

01:33:33.000 So it's, it's sort of this like quasi, it's very, very earthy, right?

01:33:39.000 In that sense, right?

01:33:40.000 A lot of people who love, you know, very naturalist kind of society.

01:33:43.000 So it's, it's different, I think, than anything in the lower 48.

01:33:47.000 And that being said, Murkowski is very strong, going to be pulling out the stops.

01:33:52.000 Though I think Chewbacca has a real chance of actually beating her.

01:33:55.000 We're looking at Potentially looking at going back up to Alaska this year.

01:33:59.000 Do some filming up there.

01:34:00.000 Do some shooting.

01:34:01.000 Talk about some of the actual resources that we have in Alaska.

01:34:05.000 I mean, that's America's treasure chest in terms of natural resources.

01:34:08.000 You know, we talk about annexing or purchasing.

01:34:10.000 Occupy Alaska.

01:34:11.000 Right.

01:34:12.000 Occupy Alaska.

01:34:13.000 Invade Alaska.

01:34:14.000 Go in there.

01:34:14.000 Actually, and you hear Biden, by the way, He talks about, oh, we're going to start opening up federal leases again.

01:34:20.000 Well, it's not about, or Jen Psaki will come out and say, oh, well, we can't, we don't need to do drilling because we already have 9,000 leases out there. 0.99

01:34:26.000 Well, the issue isn't the leases.

01:34:28.000 The issue is the EPA and getting the environmental approvals to actually drill on the leases.

01:34:34.000 Cause we went all the way up with Daniel Turner and we went up to Prudhoe Bay and you can see the oil rigs.

01:34:39.000 And I didn't know this.

01:34:39.000 And you know, Whatever, you know, not an expert in oil rigs, but I didn't know that oil rigs were mobile on land.

01:34:47.000 So they have giant treads and you can actually drive it with a joystick like an actual gigantic Gundam.

01:34:54.000 And yeah, dead serious, right?

01:34:55.000 I'm like, why do you guys not lead with that, right?

01:34:57.000 And they're all just sitting around doing nothing.

01:35:00.000 Wow.

01:35:00.000 All right, let's read more.

01:35:01.000 We got a sea lion in orange says, my pillow was an amazing book to read.

01:35:06.000 Such a great book.

01:35:07.000 It left me speechless by Michael Knowles available in June 2022.

01:35:13.000 Michael Knowles turned selling his book into a meme and I respect it.

01:35:17.000 Yeah, of course.

01:35:19.000 I do like the buy pillow though.

01:35:21.000 So there was a notepad in front of Jack.

01:35:23.000 I was like, I can take notes now.

01:35:24.000 And then he wrote buy pillow on it and put it behind.

01:35:25.000 I was like, do you have anything to publicize?

01:35:27.000 Jack is like, I don't know.

01:35:30.000 I just want you to buy the pillow.

01:35:32.000 I don't know why you didn't.

01:35:33.000 Where can they get that pillow by the way? 0.98

01:35:34.000 Mypillow.com.

01:35:36.000 Clef the Misfit says, Tim, your quote, only some people have souls theory has been keeping me up

01:35:41.000 at night. NPCs who can't think independently or see it or see the machine elves found

01:35:46.000 another symptom. They have no internal monologue. They'll tell you that. Is it the pineal gland?

01:35:51.000 Not all of them.

01:35:54.000 They've done surveys and they've asked people, do you have an internal monologue?

01:35:58.000 Do you like think and talk and like your mind?

01:36:00.000 And there are people who say no.

01:36:01.000 Yeah, some people don't.

01:36:03.000 Does that break down along?

01:36:04.000 Are there any statistics on how that breaks up based on political views or anything like that?

01:36:08.000 I don't know.

01:36:09.000 No, no, no joke.

01:36:12.000 Can we hire like a polling firm to do that? 0.84

01:36:14.000 Yeah, that would be really, really interesting.

01:36:16.000 Everyone has souls.

01:36:17.000 Stop despairing.

01:36:18.000 I wondered if someone's in a lot of pain, if they can't feel it or something.

01:36:18.000 Yeah.

01:36:21.000 I think everyone has souls.

01:36:23.000 Not like, not like everyone has collected souls.

01:36:23.000 Yeah.

01:36:25.000 Like everyone has multiple souls in a jar or something, but everyone has a soul or everyone.

01:36:29.000 Yeah.

01:36:30.000 A body and soul.

01:36:31.000 But you have to develop your soul.

01:36:31.000 Yeah.

01:36:33.000 You can also kill your soul, right? 0.96

01:36:34.000 You don't want to do that. 0.79

01:36:37.000 I would love to get into that maybe on the after show.

01:36:38.000 I have to think about that.

01:36:39.000 Well, yeah.

01:36:39.000 Is it?

01:36:39.000 Yeah.

01:36:41.000 I'm trying to think if that's the theological way of describing it.

01:36:41.000 Is that how is that?

01:36:44.000 Well, yeah, you can you can.

01:36:46.000 Hmm.

01:36:47.000 All right.

01:36:48.000 Let's see.

01:36:49.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:36:50.000 says, Tim, libs of TikTok is a major player in the political culture war.

01:36:54.000 Laws were written based on the videos she shared. 0.99

01:36:56.000 She'll only get bigger now. 1.00

01:36:58.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:37:00.000 I mean, I don't libs of TikTok should just be a public figure and Well, I think they did come out and Seth Dillon made the announcement that she is going to be getting hired with Babylon Bee.

01:37:09.000 Oh, really?

01:37:11.000 And that they did do a deal.

01:37:12.000 I had heard a little bit about this.

01:37:15.000 So he basically put out a tweet thread saying, we stand by her.

01:37:19.000 She will not be canceled her new job and alluded to the fact that Babylon Bee has done a deal with Libs of TikTok. 0.97

01:37:26.000 Right on.

01:37:26.000 All right, the user known as Tim says, Tim, if doxing is solely a matter of free speech, then it won't be any issue if we counter-dox every single journalist who does this nonsense, right?

01:37:37.000 So I think doxing is wrong, but doxing is free speech.

01:37:40.000 You can go outside with a big poster board of someone's name and address and private information and picket it around.

01:37:46.000 It is protected speech.

01:37:47.000 That's why I said I don't think I think some censorship makes sense

01:37:52.000 And I think we can all agree that there are some things like doxxing is off-limits

01:37:55.000 The issue is doxxing is not a political opinion. It is a form of intimidation intimidation threat or stochastic

01:38:01.000 terrorism And as soon as you mix it with implying that someone's bad

01:38:05.000 and then you dox in the same article, that's political When you're talking about someone's values and making value claims on someone in public, that's a political move.

01:38:14.000 Yeah, I think doxing... I have no problem with doxing not being on social media.

01:38:20.000 Doxing is not a personal opinion.

01:38:22.000 Doxing is not a political opinion.

01:38:24.000 Doxing is not speech in the sense that it is not political speech.

01:38:29.000 It is just posting the information on someone's webpages.

01:38:31.000 Well, this is under the minimize harm theory.

01:38:34.000 You know, and I will say too, I'm not an absolutist in this.

01:38:38.000 I'm willing to hear some counterpoints because allowing someone to determine when they can ban you based on doxxing could also restrict you from publishing newsworthy events that aren't doxxing but could be someone's address.

01:38:48.000 As an example though, doxxing can also be revealing someone's name, not necessarily just their address.

01:38:53.000 So if you get these viral videos, not just lives of TikTok type videos, but let's say a video of a criminal act, And you have the ability to actually positively identify the person in one of these attacks.

01:39:05.000 We see, like, attacks on Asians or shooting or, you know, whatever it is.

01:39:10.000 If you can identify that person, that's not doxing.

01:39:13.000 Therein lies, right, the big challenge.

01:39:15.000 I do disagree with publishing the name in these stories because it doesn't serve the story itself.

01:39:19.000 No.

01:39:20.000 It's an attack.

01:39:20.000 I have no problem with if, you know, Taylor Lorenz wrote an opinion piece saying, here's my opinion of this person and I'm publishing their name specifically because I want you to know it.

01:39:28.000 I'd be like, We should probably say this, but there actually is a story to be told about Libs of TikTok, but the story would be why did the account take off?

01:39:38.000 What was the content they were dealing with?

01:39:40.000 Why were laws written?

01:39:41.000 What was the impact of it?

01:39:43.000 But that wasn't the story.

01:39:44.000 Yeah.

01:39:45.000 All right.

01:39:45.000 John, Kristen says, or is it?

01:39:48.000 Yes, Kristen.

01:39:49.000 Love Poso by far my favorite guest on IRL, despite him talking smack on my hometown Altoona and cargo shorts.

01:39:56.000 Altoona PA?

01:39:58.000 Shout out to Altoona.

01:39:59.000 Yeah, that was fun, right?

01:40:00.000 Yeah.

01:40:00.000 Altoona was fun.

01:40:01.000 That was a little ribbing.

01:40:02.000 That was a little ribbing, but not about cargo shorts.

01:40:03.000 Cargo shorts are absolutely unacceptable.

01:40:06.000 Dalamar says, the question is simple.

01:40:08.000 Why did all of these old papers and media just become the National Enquirer over the last 10 years?

01:40:12.000 Has the internet just ravaged them that much?

01:40:14.000 Yes.

01:40:14.000 Waiting for the New York Times and WAPO article finding Hitler's skull.

01:40:19.000 Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.

01:40:20.000 I mean, we're already at that level where it's like an activist gets hired and then blogs and they're like, national news, run with it.

01:40:27.000 It used to be there were three networks that were held very tightly as the gatekeepers, ABC, NBC, CBS.

01:40:31.000 And then when it splurged out into all these millions of people giving the news, now it's about who's the most entertaining, who's going to catch your eye with spectacle.

01:40:38.000 Yeah, but that's actually more traditional.

01:40:42.000 So the centralization of news is only something that really came about with the advent of television.

01:40:48.000 Prior to that, every town had like three or four newspapers, a bunch of radio stations, and even, you know, if you go back even further, pamphlets.

01:40:58.000 Yellow journalism, the Spanish American War, 1898, is always talked about as one of these things of who could make the biggest splash, who could say, oh, the Spaniards are against us, they're blowing up the main in Havana Harbor, they're doing all this stuff, we got to go against them. 0.81

01:41:14.000 So the idea of viewpoint neutral journalism actually something that only arose really with the advent of television in the 1950s to early 1960s coincides of course with the Vietnam War, but that's not the traditional American view and really experience with media.

01:41:32.000 That's only something that arose because of that one limited, very limited interaction.

01:41:37.000 If you go back to today's of course, the anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the shot heard around the world.

01:41:44.000 And if we remember, it was those localized pamphlets, independent printers, independent publishers, Thomas Paine, you know, printing stuff and handing it out to people in inns and taverns that really formulated the sort of the thought experiment behind the American Revolution that led to the independence of this country.

01:42:03.000 Yeah.

01:42:04.000 All right, Dan says, Tim, big fan of you and the team.

01:42:07.000 Timcast subscriber and enjoy the extras.

01:42:09.000 Although I don't take advantage of the membership, I will never cancel out of support for what you and the team do.

01:42:13.000 Thank you.

01:42:14.000 What we need to do next is, it's a lot.

01:42:17.000 We're juggling so much.

01:42:18.000 Pop Culture Crisis, of course, has been getting bigger, getting more views, getting more subs.

01:42:23.000 So we want to have that show that engages with pop culture getting bigger, because that's how we're going to impact it by participating.

01:42:30.000 But we need to hire prominent writers who do good op-eds, analysis, and think pieces so that we can start making opinion paywalled articles for TimCast.com so that way we can share these stories and then be like, hey, here's a value proposition.

01:42:46.000 We have a lot of users.

01:42:46.000 We have a lot of subscribers.

01:42:48.000 The overwhelming majority are subscribing for the general mission and content of the website, and it's not necessarily just about the members-only stuff.

01:42:55.000 It's just like, It's the news team.

01:42:58.000 It's the writing we do.

01:42:59.000 It's the whole mission.

01:43:01.000 We know this because we had subscribers even before we had the paywall.

01:43:04.000 We just had to do that to create a better value proposition.

01:43:06.000 So that's the next thing.

01:43:07.000 I want to hire two opinion writers in cultural politics.

01:43:12.000 So we're looking at a handful of people.

01:43:13.000 And then they'll write articles when they write articles addressing big stories like this.

01:43:17.000 And then those will be like paywalled op-eds just to give the members more stuff.

01:43:21.000 Plus we have the green room and we're trying to expand and grow and do crazy stuff.

01:43:26.000 I think it's a good fit.

01:43:27.000 I really do.

01:43:27.000 I can only imagine what that one's about.

01:43:29.000 We'll see.

01:43:29.000 with libs of TikTok.

01:43:30.000 I think it's a good fit, I really do.

01:43:33.000 All right.

01:43:34.000 Placid Saint says, Netflix may have gone down

01:43:36.000 because a new series called, He's Expecting just got released 0.93

01:43:39.000 and it looks super cringe and looks like utter gutter trash.

01:43:43.000 I can only imagine what that one's about.

01:43:46.000 We'll see.

01:43:47.000 That's an affront to God.

01:43:49.000 Yeah.

01:43:49.000 Not the only thing on Netflix either.

01:43:52.000 No, no.

01:43:53.000 All right.

01:43:54.000 Uh, let's see.

01:43:54.000 Sean McCormick says, there are trending rumors that Dr. Fauci is facing a military tribunal since April 18th.

01:44:00.000 Please look into this.

01:44:01.000 It could be huge and is definitely not happening.

01:44:03.000 And I would bet a lot of money it's not happening.

01:44:06.000 I mean, that's just, come on.

01:44:07.000 That's like wiki world news level.

01:44:09.000 Yeah.

01:44:10.000 Nope.

01:44:10.000 Sorry.

01:44:11.000 Bad boy.

01:44:11.000 That's servers in Germany.

01:44:14.000 CIA gun battle level.

01:44:15.000 Yeah.

01:44:17.000 Ben Hickson says in Oz major parties pulled 33% independent making other third all Aussies vote major parties last to enact real change and consider liberal Democrats with freedom manifesto.

01:44:29.000 Interesting.

01:44:29.000 I thought they meant Dr. Oz for a second, who's, you know, a guy who supports red flag laws, who talked about top surgery for seventh graders, who mocked heartbeat bills, and yet somehow is running around calling himself a conservative, even though, to run in Pennsylvania, even though, of course, he's lived for 30 years in New Jersey.

01:44:46.000 Yeah, I mean, he's gotta, with those opinions, he's gotta wait like at least five years before he calls himself conservative.

01:44:51.000 Maybe six.

01:44:52.000 Yeah.

01:44:53.000 Maybe six.

01:44:55.000 Steve says, we can really go back to the way it was if you're pushing 60 like me.

01:44:59.000 Way better times when I was a kiddo.

01:45:01.000 I would be terrified if I was a parent today.

01:45:02.000 I think we romanticize the past.

01:45:08.000 Cell phones are great.

01:45:09.000 Every generation, people think it's the end of the world.

01:45:12.000 I would say it's common.

01:45:13.000 It's not common throughout every person alive at that moment.

01:45:16.000 It's very few people do it, but right now they have a megaphone.

01:45:18.000 Don't get distracted by it.

01:45:19.000 Don't get afraid.

01:45:20.000 Stay brave, man.

01:45:20.000 You're alive.

01:45:21.000 You're doing it.

01:45:21.000 You're here with us now.

01:45:22.000 We had a draft during Vietnam.

01:45:24.000 Think about that.

01:45:25.000 We had an actual draft in this country where you were conscripted by the government.

01:45:29.000 And there was a lottery system with, essentially, you were given a number, and then you would turn on TV at night for your local lottery, and if your number came up, off you went.

01:45:38.000 Or in the morning.

01:45:40.000 So my dad has told a story.

01:45:41.000 When he was in high school, on the morning announcements, they would play the radio segment announcing who in the area had their number pulled, so they would know who got drafted.

01:45:50.000 And they would read the numbers, and then you would just go.

01:45:51.000 And that was based on a false flag, the Gulf of Tonkin.

01:45:55.000 That's right.

01:45:55.000 And it's crazy that people would just stand up and be like, oh, guess I'm going to go.

01:45:58.000 Democracy, right guys?

01:45:59.000 Democracy.

01:46:00.000 They did that on purpose.

01:46:01.000 They put us into that war on purpose. 0.89

01:46:03.000 They did that on purpose.

01:46:04.000 And then they drafted people.

01:46:06.000 Yes.

01:46:07.000 Incredible.

01:46:08.000 All right, Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:46:09.000 says, Ian, roll the dice while we wait.

01:46:11.000 Please, one through a hundred.

01:46:13.000 Here we go.

01:46:14.000 All right, Ian's gonna roll that.

01:46:15.000 I'm gonna scroll down.

01:46:17.000 74.

01:46:17.000 74, hey, not bad.

01:46:19.000 Big number.

01:46:20.000 All right, Grofty says, Bach, yay, you back.

01:46:23.000 Grofty has been a generous supporter of Chicken City.

01:46:26.000 Keeping those chickens well fed.

01:46:28.000 Thank you very much.

01:46:28.000 We now have, so Chicken City has SkyEggs.

01:46:31.000 What are sky eggs?

01:46:32.000 They're these eggs that dispense treats and they hang.

01:46:36.000 And when you give five bucks in different order, they will drop treats.

01:46:39.000 So when every hundred dollars a chicken party is triggered and like dance lights show up and a dance song happens.

01:46:45.000 And then the treats drop all randomly.

01:46:46.000 Chickens are all running around.

01:46:47.000 Yeah.

01:46:47.000 When they come running out of the, when they hear the music and they come running.

01:46:50.000 It's really funny when the music starts and they run from outside and they're like waddling, like, ah, the food's coming!

01:46:55.000 We heard the song!

01:46:56.000 So they learn the chicken dance song.

01:46:57.000 I think I was watching it a little bit and I think I saw Seamus actually running along with the chickens.

01:47:01.000 Yeah, you know, look, every now and again, there's there's bread on the ground.

01:47:04.000 A fella gets hungry. 0.99

01:47:05.000 You just have to take your chances.

01:47:07.000 Hey, those are sky treats.

01:47:08.000 People don't realize that Seamus pecks the ground and eats the crumbs.

01:47:11.000 He does.

01:47:11.000 Look, and also, you know, if a chicken gets in my way, I'm not above fighting it.

01:47:15.000 It's good exercise, too.

01:47:16.000 MurphTry says, Tim, please tell Brett I apologize for calling him Brent yesterday.

01:47:20.000 Thanks, Murph.

01:47:21.000 So, so, uh, you know, Brett was here yesterday.

01:47:24.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:47:25.000 And in the super chat, I said, he said Brent.

01:47:27.000 And then Braxton, who was here, called him Brent as well, because he thought he must have been wrong to call him Brett.

01:47:31.000 He's like, oh no, I called him Brent.

01:47:32.000 Yeah.

01:47:34.000 Proto says people don't understand the plus part of the service.

01:47:37.000 Get CNN for free every month or get CNN plus no stelter for just five bucks more.

01:47:43.000 No, that's CNN plus plus plus.

01:47:45.000 I'm pretty sure stelter's not CNN plus.

01:47:47.000 Like you pay extra for him not to be on it.

01:47:50.000 Yo, like nobody watches this show.

01:47:53.000 It's pretty good.

01:47:54.000 What's his ratings like?

01:47:55.000 40,000?

01:47:56.000 His ratings are abysmal and they say that John Malone, who's the lead investor, lead shareholder in Discovery, has said that he just thinks that Stelter is just like a cancer on the company and wants to get rid of him.

01:48:08.000 Really?

01:48:09.000 Oh, 100%.

01:48:09.000 But honestly, I mean, I think there's people who are on there.

01:48:14.000 Brian Stelter has no influence.

01:48:15.000 Brian Stelter has no impact. 0.94

01:48:17.000 I mean, he's kind of just like a laughing clown, right?

01:48:20.000 Everybody just jokes about that guy. 0.96

01:48:21.000 He's a punchline.

01:48:22.000 Is he like a really nice guy in private?

01:48:24.000 No.

01:48:24.000 Why is he so popular over there?

01:48:26.000 What would you do if like the Discovery guys came to you, Jack, and they were like, we want you to run CNN, take it over?

01:48:32.000 Uh, I would ask for full carte blanche.

01:48:34.000 Yeah.

01:48:35.000 I would say, I would say, look, you know, I have to, you know, I, so yeah, first thing you do, you got to clean house.

01:48:39.000 That's, that's first and foremost.

01:48:41.000 And so in Poland, um, when the law and justice party, which is like the center right party won, um, the control of the government in 2015, the first thing they did was essentially go to the Polish version of like the BBC, which they call TVP.

01:48:55.000 And they just fired all the on-air talent and they brought in conservatives to basically be the broadcasters.

01:49:01.000 of Poland and you know essentially you'd have to do that with CNN or at least you know bring

01:49:06.000 on people so you'd have to have your your news programs that were just straight news

01:49:10.000 and if you caught someone embellishing you'd have to get rid of them and then you could

01:49:13.000 have multiple shows you could go back by the way right it wasn't that long ago that Alex

01:49:18.000 Jones was going on CNN debating Piers Morgan or you would have Tucker Carlson sitting down

01:49:23.000 with like James Carville or someone from the left right.

01:49:26.000 You can easily bring that back and you can have Don Lemon and Wolf Blitzer arguing about which black hole MH370 went through.

01:49:33.000 If CNN had Alex Jones and say, Alex Jones went on The View.

01:49:39.000 I know, I know.

01:49:40.000 If they had Alex Jones and Rachel Maddow on the same show at the same time, they'd have like 10 million mega ratings.

01:49:45.000 It's gotta be long form.

01:49:46.000 They should go long form, too.

01:49:48.000 There's so many things you could do with that, and everybody would want to watch it.

01:49:52.000 It'd be way more interesting than boring politics all the time.

01:49:55.000 Don't give him ideas, because, you know... Well, we already kind of did that.

01:49:58.000 We had Rachel Maddow on with Jeremy Boring.

01:50:00.000 Yeah, we did.

01:50:00.000 That was pretty cool.

01:50:01.000 That's true.

01:50:02.000 So, that's right.

01:50:03.000 Yeah, Rachel Maddow and Jeremy Boring discussing philosophy.

01:50:05.000 Rachel, of course, is a conservative white man who hosts a... That's right. 1.00

01:50:08.000 Sicilian man.

01:50:09.000 Who wrote a book called Speechless, controlling... No, no, here's something funny.

01:50:14.000 So, whenever a guest comes, we have our graphic artist, Jessica, draws a portrait of him.

01:50:18.000 Right.

01:50:19.000 And then they sign it.

01:50:20.000 So for Michael Knowles, she actually made a Rachel Maddow photo and a Michael Knowles photo, and Michael only signed the Rachel Maddow one.

01:50:29.000 But alright!

01:50:30.000 But did he write Rachel Maddow?

01:50:32.000 No, he wrote Michael Knowles.

01:50:34.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:50:35.000 Because what we did as a joke, like, here's your picture, and he left and signed it, and they're like, no, sign the real one, and I guess he forgot?

01:50:39.000 He was like, That's beneath me.

01:50:44.000 I guess on the wall of portraits we have here.

01:50:46.000 We got to put up the Rachel Maddow one.

01:50:50.000 It's probably worth more money now to be honest.

01:50:52.000 It's like the very good Rachel to sign Michaels.

01:50:54.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:50:56.000 All right, MJAC says, interested in what all of you, even my fellow Catholics, think of the dark MAGA movement.

01:51:03.000 I don't know what that is.

01:51:03.000 What is that?

01:51:05.000 No idea.

01:51:05.000 I don't know.

01:51:06.000 Dark MAGA movement?

01:51:07.000 I've seen, yes, Rahim Kassam had a sub stack up about this, and then Newsweek is attacking it now, and it's sort of this like, It's like this new take on MAGA and this idea that like, basically it comes down to if Trump comes back, it should be like a revenge mission.

01:51:22.000 And so all the aesthetics kind of revolve around that.

01:51:28.000 Trump just shows up and he's wearing like a black trench coat and his eyes have like duck wings around his eyes.

01:51:33.000 Yeah, you get it.

01:51:33.000 He bends the doors of the White House when he walks through.

01:51:35.000 Yeah, he bends.

01:51:36.000 Well, no, the thing I was saying yesterday was you saw that bit with, you know, Joe Biden and the Easter Bunny coming off, you know, and the Easter Bunny was like getting him out of there.

01:51:45.000 And I was saying, well, the next logical step in that would be that the Easter Bunny pulls the mask off and underneath it's Trump.

01:51:53.000 And, you know, the crowd goes wild.

01:51:55.000 How did he get in here?

01:51:56.000 And, you know, Jay was like, Look out!

01:51:58.000 It's Trump!

01:51:59.000 It's Trump!

01:52:00.000 I need an Emperor Palpatine, but Trump.

01:52:04.000 Oh my gosh.

01:52:05.000 I feel like he looks more like Biden.

01:52:07.000 No, no, no.

01:52:08.000 Come on.

01:52:08.000 Do it.

01:52:09.000 Oh, do the impression?

01:52:11.000 As Trump?

01:52:12.000 Trump as Emperor Palpatine.

01:52:13.000 The story of Dark Plague at the Wise is the greatest.

01:52:18.000 I don't know.

01:52:18.000 So you want me to do Trump's voice?

01:52:20.000 First, quite frankly, it's a story CNN wouldn't tell you.

01:52:23.000 You gotta let the hate flow through you.

01:52:24.000 Firstly, okay, folks.

01:52:26.000 You have to let the hate flow through you.

01:52:28.000 He's too dangerous to be left alive.

01:52:29.000 But I can't.

01:52:31.000 It's not the Jedi way.

01:52:32.000 Do it.

01:52:32.000 Your friends on the Sanctuary Moon.

01:52:36.000 I shoot the most lightning.

01:52:38.000 This power station is quite apparational.

01:52:41.000 I said, look, if you entered Ukraine airspace, we would use the Death Star. 1.00

01:52:46.000 And I 10% meant it.

01:52:47.000 We may have used the Death Star if they went to Ukraine. 1.00

01:52:50.000 It's possible.

01:52:51.000 Coruscant deserved it.

01:52:54.000 Does Coruscant actually get schwacked in the movie?

01:52:57.000 Yo, here's an idea.

01:52:58.000 No, in the new.

01:52:59.000 Oh, I don't know.

01:53:00.000 Coruscant?

01:53:00.000 Yeah.

01:53:01.000 I'm pretty sure he blows it up, right?

01:53:02.000 I don't know.

01:53:03.000 Ugh, that's jumping the shark.

01:53:04.000 Didn't he blow Coruscant up in the first one?

01:53:06.000 No, that was Alderaan.

01:53:07.000 Alderaan.

01:53:08.000 Yeah, I'm pretty sure Coruscant gets blown up in the new one.

01:53:10.000 I guess.

01:53:11.000 It's like a throwaway line.

01:53:13.000 Like, oh yeah, we blew up the capital city and there's a million people.

01:53:15.000 Well, this time the Death Star's a planet, and it doesn't fire one blast, it fires a bunch.

01:53:18.000 It's like, whatever.

01:53:19.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:53:20.000 Real original, guys.

01:53:21.000 Alright, Amber Black says Chicken City should sponsor H3H3.

01:53:23.000 Done!

01:53:23.000 Ethan!

01:53:24.000 Oh! 0.60

01:53:26.000 Have your people call my people.

01:53:28.000 Chicken City will absolutely sponsor one of your episodes.

01:53:31.000 I am not kidding.

01:53:32.000 Send me your rates if they're reasonable.

01:53:34.000 I mean, if they're like, we want some insane number, but if they legitimately are like, here's our normal rates, I'll be like, dude, we want the Chicken City commercial.

01:53:42.000 We want the Chicken City shout out from Ethan Klein.

01:53:44.000 I will take it.

01:53:45.000 Chicken City is the most wholesome show, completely apolitical.

01:53:50.000 It is just chickens eating treats.

01:53:53.000 We're actually making kids cartoons, and I wrote the Chicken City theme song.

01:53:57.000 We also got the funniest, like, Adult Swim 2007 chicken cartoon.

01:54:03.000 It's like 20 or 30 seconds, but it's a little too racy for Instagram, I think.

01:54:07.000 I'll just say that when Seamus and I were doing the VO writing session on this, I ad-libbed a very, very, very dark And then when I sent the VO to our animator Kent, I was like, hey, don't make that one.

01:54:22.000 Yeah, I was like, I don't care.

01:54:23.000 He was like, I will not do that.

01:54:24.000 And then he sends me the clip like, it has been made.

01:54:27.000 And it's hilarious.

01:54:28.000 I tried posting it on Instagram, but Instagram shadowbanned it immediately.

01:54:31.000 What was that show?

01:54:32.000 It was like, Adam Kroll was on it. 0.99

01:54:33.000 He was a pig. 0.98

01:54:35.000 Oh my gosh, Drawn Together. 1.00

01:54:37.000 It was Adam Carolla?

01:54:38.000 It was basically that kind of humor.

01:54:40.000 Yeah, that's what it reminds me of.

01:54:41.000 That show was actually pretty wild.

01:54:42.000 They made a movie, I felt.

01:54:44.000 Alright, we got J.N.

01:54:45.000 who says, Magneto, Ian, watch Dr. Gene Kim talk about graphene regarding iron mixing with clay.

01:54:51.000 McLeod, Seamus, can help him understand.

01:54:53.000 Deuces.

01:54:54.000 Alright, Magneto and McLeod.

01:54:57.000 I appreciate the shout-out.

01:54:58.000 I don't understand the reference.

01:54:59.000 Is that a Highlander reference?

01:55:00.000 You know what?

01:55:01.000 Send me a link on Twitter to the video you're talking about.

01:55:03.000 There can be only one.

01:55:04.000 Yeah.

01:55:05.000 Thank you.

01:55:06.000 There can be only one.

01:55:07.000 Only one Grosslander.

01:55:08.000 Highlander.

01:55:09.000 Man, what a show.

01:55:10.000 Or movie.

01:55:11.000 Or both.

01:55:11.000 Whatever it is.

01:55:13.000 Wasn't the show like every episode he killed a guy or something?

01:55:16.000 Because there can be only one.

01:55:18.000 It's so weird.

01:55:19.000 Would you just go around killing everyone else?

01:55:21.000 Well I know in the first movie they have this like huge epic drawn out Scottish Highlander battle in like a parking garage.

01:55:27.000 And I think that in general we need to do more to be more grateful to parking garages for their contribution to the movies of the 1970s and 80s.

01:55:36.000 Yeah it's got a lot of good lighting opportunities.

01:55:39.000 Like everything since Watergate had to be, everything was in a parking garage.

01:55:43.000 I thought they live at a great fight scene.

01:55:45.000 Right outside of a parking lot.

01:55:46.000 Right outside of a parking lot.

01:55:48.000 Oh, I gotta watch that.

01:55:50.000 says, Hey guys, I love the show and just became a member.

01:55:52.000 Thank you very much. Thoughts on Russell Brand's podcast yesterday about the great reset. If

01:55:57.000 you've watched it, I haven't, but Russell Brand has been hitting grand slams lately. Hasn't

01:56:02.000 he? His whole life. He's actually, he's actually really, really good in death on the Nile.

01:56:06.000 He's like probably the best part of that movie.

01:56:07.000 He's so good.

01:56:08.000 He's like really, really excellent in that.

01:56:11.000 And he's not, it's not a comedic role either.

01:56:13.000 It's like a very serious, um, dramatic turn.

01:56:16.000 I love how they're smearing him.

01:56:17.000 They're like, Russell Brand is now far right.

01:56:19.000 I was so glad he got serious in like 2011.

01:56:21.000 He started taking stuff really seriously right around the time they were going to sell us out to the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

01:56:25.000 Isn't that right when he and Katy Perry broke up?

01:56:28.000 Yeah.

01:56:28.000 I think so.

01:56:29.000 That changes a man.

01:56:30.000 All right, seven ninjas, a man, seven ninjas says, Tim, will you ever do more tech news on your main channel or

01:56:35.000 maybe on a sub channel?

01:56:36.000 For example, maybe there is news on development of geothermal energy

01:56:39.000 Well, what we're trying to do is make new shows and we're also trying to figure out the right way to do it

01:56:45.000 Because we want we want Tim cast calm to be big But also does it make sense for people who are you know

01:56:51.000 driven by culture and politics to you know?

01:56:53.000 See a story about a new cell phone They might be like, so we do, do we do a broad general website or do we make like a network site and each individual like show has its own site with its own articles and stuff?

01:57:05.000 And make verticals.

01:57:06.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:57:07.000 So, you know, I think we're at the point where we couldn't justify launching independent websites just yet, but we're probably going to get close to that.

01:57:14.000 So there will probably be, you know, TimCast.com, which is like this show and my YouTube show and then a little bit of everything, but then we'll probably give independent sites.

01:57:22.000 So we will, we have been planning a tech show because we have a hacker space that's barren and unused.

01:57:28.000 We just need hackers to be in it.

01:57:29.000 We have one of the best 3D printers money can buy, which is just sitting there unused.

01:57:33.000 I'm disappointed.

01:57:34.000 But, uh, expansion is not easy.

01:57:37.000 You know, man, we, we, like, I don't want to say too much, but security stuff, like, expanding, all of that, it's brutal.

01:57:45.000 It's brutal, man.

01:57:46.000 That being said, I do think I saw a headline on Energy that something about the Biden administration was looking about spending $7 billion on refurbishing nuclear sites in the U.S.

01:57:56.000 Well, you know, our economy is doing well.

01:57:58.000 Why not?

01:57:58.000 Why not spend a whole lot of money?

01:57:59.000 Just print it.

01:58:00.000 Keep printing.

01:58:01.000 It's a good idea.

01:58:01.000 All right.

01:58:02.000 We'll grab one more.

01:58:04.000 Skater Owned Solution says, Tim, I'm down to my last dollars to give.

01:58:08.000 Hope to catch your attention and get some advice on how I want to rebuild skate culture in the right direction.

01:58:13.000 Please check out my story on the skaterowned.solutions website or someone on your team.

01:58:19.000 We need people who can build ramps. 0.62

01:58:23.000 So, you know, if you, uh, if you guys do ramp construction, we have a lot of stuff that has to get built.

01:58:29.000 Oh yeah, you can email us, spintheufo at gmail.com.

01:58:32.000 If you do ramp construction, send us photos of the work you've done, and we will hire you yesterday to do construction.

01:58:39.000 Oh, for your personal work, man, take a look at Brett Dasovic, because that dude is diligent.

01:58:43.000 Every day he skates, and he makes videos, and he pushes it out, and he sells himself, and then Tim saw his work.

01:58:49.000 So do that. 0.56

01:58:50.000 Well, actually, what happened was, over the pandemic, rollerblading became way more popular because people started getting back into it, sales started going up, and then I watched skateboarding videos.

01:58:59.000 But because of the similarities, I started getting recommended roller skating and rollerblading, and that's actually how I found Brett.

01:59:05.000 I saw this video where he was, like, doing a grind on, like, a wooden stump or something, and I was like, this dude's willing to, like, he'll skate anything!

01:59:12.000 And so I hit him up, I'm like, hey, come out and film because we also had a scooter guy come out, a BMX guy come out.

01:59:16.000 I was like, I want to get everybody to like, you know, and then Brett stuck around and we got him on Pop Culture Crisis.

01:59:22.000 So anyway, my friends, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, support the work we do at TimCast.com because your membership isn't just about necessarily what the website has to offer.
