Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - We Got Our Times Sq. Billboard SLAMMING WaPo & Taylor Lorenz For Lying w-Derek Harvey

00:00:00.000 So we got a billboard in Times Square.

00:00:09.000 It is massive.

00:00:11.000 It's got two sides.

00:00:12.000 And it reads, Taylor Lorenz doxxed at Libs of TikTok.

00:00:16.000 And we did this because Taylor Lorenz, a journalist for the Washington Post, wielded institutional power like a cudgel to target people that she did not like. 1.00

00:00:26.000 The framing of the story she did that doxxed Libs of TikTok was that Libs of TikTok is bad.

00:00:34.000 Okay.

00:00:35.000 Now, I think that reporting is great.

00:00:38.000 We should know what is the motivation behind Libs of TikTok. 0.87

00:00:42.000 And depending on who the person is behind it, maybe we should know who they are.

00:00:45.000 Turns out it was kind of a random person.

00:00:48.000 So publishing the name served nothing in the story.

00:00:50.000 So I am critical of Taylor Lorenz for publishing the name, but think the reporting was merited.

00:00:55.000 Taylor Lorenz then released private home information and work information of this individual, which I condemn.

00:01:01.000 Taylor Lorenz then lied about it on TV and the Washington Post lied about it.

00:01:05.000 So I said, okay, you want to wield institutional power against regular people or against people, you know, people to cause harm?

00:01:11.000 I can wield institutional power too.

00:01:14.000 So with the help of Jeremy Boring, co-CEO of the Daily Wire and the Daily Wire crew, we got this bill board up very quickly.

00:01:20.000 So we'll talk all about that story as well as a whole bunch of other stuff.

00:01:23.000 The, um, The top lawyer for Twitter, Vijay Agade, the person that I actually spoke with on the Joe Rogan podcast, cried in a meeting discussing Elon Musk's Twitter takeover.

00:01:33.000 So we have a whole lot to break down there in terms of Elon's takeover of this, you know, of all the Twitter stuff.

00:01:41.000 And Joe Biden.

00:01:43.000 Apparently they found Daily Mail is saying there's 5.2 million dollars in his income unaccounted for.

00:01:50.000 Makes you wonder about what he was doing with those special private deals with China and in Ukraine.

00:01:55.000 So we'll talk all about this.

00:01:56.000 Plus Ron DeSantis is killing it.

00:01:58.000 He's raising massive amounts of money.

00:02:00.000 So we're going to talk about media.

00:02:03.000 A lot of stuff having to do with Elon Musk and the billboard stuff and the aftermath of what's going on in terms of doxing, so should be a good time.

00:02:11.000 Joining us to discuss this is Derek Harvey.

00:02:14.000 Hey, glad to be here.

00:02:15.000 You want to pull your mic up a little bit?

00:02:16.000 Yeah, sure.

00:02:17.000 Tell us, who are you, good sir?

00:02:18.000 Well, I'm Derek Harvey.

00:02:20.000 I used to work for Devin Nunes as the Lead Investigator for the House Intelligence Committee.

00:02:25.000 I was in the Army for 26 years and Chief of Intelligence for General Petraeus and General Odierno, served almost five years in Iraq.

00:02:34.000 And I was the Special Assistant and Director for Middle East Policy and North Africa Policy for President Trump in the first year of the Trump White House.

00:02:42.000 Wow!

00:02:43.000 So, storied career and now you're running for office just right here in Maryland.

00:02:47.000 Right, right here in the county you're in, Washington County.

00:02:50.000 I'm running for the County Commissioner position and I think that we need some new leadership, new change.

00:02:57.000 I think I have the experience and the knowledge and the integrity to bring some changes to Washington County.

00:03:05.000 This is going to be great because not only do we have to talk about stuff going on behind the scenes with the White House and the Russiagate hoax and corruption in media, but as someone who lives in and is running in Washington County, we can talk all about why the failed policies that we see in states like Maryland result in businesses fleeing, which hurt those states.

00:03:24.000 So that's going to be a lot of fun.

00:03:25.000 Thanks for joining us.

00:03:26.000 Glad to be here.

00:03:28.000 Yeah, and I just want to say I'm really interested and excited to hear some details about the Trump White House from an insider.

00:03:33.000 I'm sure that's going to be fascinating.

00:03:35.000 I'm Seamus Coghlan.

00:03:36.000 I run a channel called Freedom Tunes.

00:03:37.000 We upload political cartoons every single week, every Thursday.

00:03:41.000 Y'all should go subscribe if you aren't already subscribed.

00:03:44.000 Good to see you, Derek.

00:03:45.000 I always like talking about people that have military intelligence experience.

00:03:48.000 I rolled an 84.

00:03:52.000 1984 all over again.

00:03:56.000 One day at a time.

00:03:58.000 Peace and love.

00:03:59.000 And I am also here in the corner pushing buttons as is my want.

00:04:02.000 Very excited to have Derek.

00:04:03.000 He has a long history and I'm so curious what he's got to say.

00:04:05.000 I also want to mention there's one more story we're going to talk about.

00:04:07.000 Oh yeah?

00:04:08.000 Something strange is happening with the Twitter algorithm.

00:04:10.000 Thanks for reminding me, Super Chat.

00:04:12.000 We have a few tweets pulled up tracking the gain in followers among right-wing personalities and the loss in followers among left-wing personalities.

00:04:19.000 Some have said people are just coming back to the platform and leftists are leaving.

00:04:23.000 I don't think that's true.

00:04:25.000 Absolutely not.

00:04:26.000 Tucker Carlson didn't just gain 62,000 followers today on news that broke yesterday morning.

00:04:32.000 So that doesn't make sense.

00:04:34.000 Many people believe this is Twitter panicking and shutting down their manipulation of the system, because Elon Musk is going to get in there, and he's going to see exactly what they're doing and how much you want to bet malfeasance.

00:04:46.000 And Elon Musk is going to have access to all those records, so they locked down the code?

00:04:51.000 Well, they supposedly locked down the code to prevent sabotage, but could it be they locked down the code because they're doing something nefarious behind the scenes and don't want anyone to see it?

00:04:59.000 We will see.

00:05:00.000 But before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com, become a member to help support our work.

00:05:16.000 And in this instance, with the help of The Daily Wire, they helped put this together really, really quickly.

00:05:20.000 So shout out to Jeremy Boren and The Daily Wire.

00:05:22.000 I know I said, you know, I wanted to do this and I had a plan for it, but they had the magic and the institutional force to push back.

00:05:32.000 And so I'm eternally grateful for them.

00:05:33.000 But this is what we're going to do.

00:05:35.000 As a member, we are using your membership fees to hire journalists.

00:05:39.000 We just hired another journalist.

00:05:46.000 We're expanding.

00:05:48.000 That's thanks to you.

00:05:49.000 And we're gonna have fact-checkers, we've got a few non-profits we're working on.

00:05:52.000 It's all about building out the culture, challenging the machine, and speaking truth to power.

00:05:58.000 But let's talk about speaking truth to power.

00:06:00.000 Smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.

00:06:03.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the first story from TimCast.com.

00:06:07.000 TimCast CEO puts billboard in Times Square calling out Washington Post reporter's doxing of libs of TikTok.

00:06:14.000 Taylor Lorenz blocked Tim Poole on Twitter after videos of the sign were posted online.

00:06:18.000 Oh, I want to talk about this so bad.

00:06:20.000 Now, we do have a disclaimer.

00:06:21.000 At the top, it says Tim Poole is the owner and CEO of TimCastMedia, including TimCast.com, because we have standards.

00:06:27.000 Now, this seems a little biased.

00:06:28.000 I'm going to be honest.

00:06:30.000 Actually, it's not.

00:06:32.000 It's a straightforward news story.

00:06:34.000 I don't know.

00:06:34.000 I gotta look into it.

00:06:35.000 I'm not gonna take your word for it.

00:06:37.000 I have TimCast, CEO of TimCast, telling me his article on TimCast about him, the CEO of TimCast, isn't biased.

00:06:44.000 Do you expect me to buy that right now?

00:06:45.000 It is not biased.

00:06:46.000 All right, well, you see the fact that we reveal that information shows it's actually particularly

00:06:51.000 straightforward. It's just several quotes. So a new message has joined the glowing advertisements

00:06:55.000 in New York City's Times Square, admonishing the Washington Post for publishing private information

00:06:59.000 of the creator of Libs of TikTok Twitter account. It shows statements from me.

00:07:03.000 It's It shows that, you know, very straightforward.

00:07:05.000 Jeremy Boring and Tim Cass put this together.

00:07:08.000 Taylor Lorenz is a technology reporter for the Washington Post.

00:07:11.000 It shows, I believe, just statements from me mostly about it.

00:07:14.000 Now, I suppose you could argue that Taylor, her responses should have been included in the story.

00:07:19.000 But considering it's just about the billboard and why I did it, I think that's fair.

00:07:23.000 And I think it's fair when I say, you know, this is how we're addressing it.

00:07:26.000 What is it?

00:07:26.000 Incredibly cool and handsome CEO of Timcast.

00:07:30.000 Publishes awesome billboards.

00:07:33.000 It also says super strong.

00:07:37.000 And I won't take that from you.

00:07:38.000 And his mom says he's the most handsome.

00:07:41.000 I think the way this should have been framed is bigoted far-right figure harasses a poor innocent journalist.

00:07:47.000 So let me tell you guys real quick just about what happened.

00:07:51.000 So we talked about putting up the billboard.

00:07:53.000 We were like, fingers crossed they'll approve it.

00:07:55.000 They did.

00:07:55.000 Alright, I think I will play for you the video right here.

00:07:58.000 It's actually quite simple.

00:08:01.000 It says, Democracy dies in darkness.

00:08:04.000 Turn that down. 0.77

00:08:06.000 That's why we're shining a light on you.

00:08:09.000 Taylor Lorenz doxed at libs of TikTok.

00:08:13.000 At Timcast.

00:08:14.000 So first, let me just address some of the immediate points people brought up.

00:08:19.000 Why didn't we link to anything?

00:08:20.000 Why didn't we use it as an opportunity to promote the show?

00:08:22.000 You can't.

00:08:23.000 Yeah, you can't.

00:08:23.000 You cannot use other people's likenesses to advertise your product.

00:08:28.000 So there are rules, restrictions, and laws.

00:08:31.000 Also, I'm like, I have to sign it.

00:08:33.000 I'm the one who did it.

00:08:34.000 I'm not gonna pretend it wasn't me.

00:08:36.000 We're gonna put Timcast on it.

00:08:37.000 What else are we gonna do?

00:08:38.000 I figured if we didn't, it would be... I don't know.

00:08:41.000 I should have my name on the things that I'm doing.

00:08:44.000 So that's ultimately how we decided to do it.

00:08:46.000 The first thing that happens after we put it up is Taylor Lorenz responded saying, Tim Poole... Actually, I think we might have the tweets from Taylor Lorenz as to what she said.

00:08:56.000 Maybe not.

00:08:57.000 Okay, hold on.

00:08:58.000 No, I don't think we do.

00:09:00.000 But Taylor Lorenz responded that Tim Poole and the CEO of The Daily Wire put up this billboard trying to discredit my journalism.

00:09:07.000 My response was that I didn't want to discredit her journalism.

00:09:12.000 Actually, I defended her reporting on Libs of TikTok.

00:09:14.000 However, She lied about doxing and that's what needed to be called out.

00:09:19.000 Her response was, or so let me show you this image.

00:09:24.000 I said to her, when her response was like, you know, a goofy face saying, oh, the internet's so crazy.

00:09:29.000 I said, I'm glad you and your friends are happy.

00:09:31.000 You made your point on CNN.

00:09:33.000 I made mine on Times Square and now we can move on.

00:09:35.000 She responded, my family and friends are not happy.

00:09:37.000 They have been subject to a nonstop stream of hateful attacks, doxing and violent attacks driven by this baseless campaign.

00:09:43.000 Happy to hear you're moving on.

00:09:44.000 Taylor, I did not insult you, I did not dox you, and I defended your reporting.

00:09:50.000 I called you a liar because you lied about doxing libs of TikTok.

00:09:53.000 If you do not want to be held to account for amoral or unethical activities, you should not be in media committing amoral or unethical activities.

00:10:04.000 I do not tolerate insulting the person over her appearance or age.

00:10:08.000 I do not support doxing.

00:10:10.000 And I think libs of TikTok should be reported on.

00:10:12.000 We need to know who the influential people behind our politics are.

00:10:16.000 But when you lie about it, you get called out.

00:10:18.000 Now she's claiming that there's violent attacks and it's, I'm part of this campaign.

00:10:23.000 Oh, you know what?

00:10:23.000 Just, just spare me.

00:10:25.000 Words are violence.

00:10:26.000 Remember that.

00:10:26.000 Words are violence.

00:10:28.000 That's where we're at.

00:10:30.000 Yep, no, I mean, look, it's no secret this podcast has been swatted a number of times.

00:10:36.000 People here have been threatened.

00:10:38.000 I also have had people harass me, do things that have made me feel unsafe.

00:10:42.000 I have been doxxed.

00:10:43.000 I don't like saying it.

00:10:45.000 I don't like talking about it.

00:10:46.000 It's a little bit weird to bring it up every single time someone criticizes you.

00:10:51.000 Yeah, it's funny because she's like, this is violence against me, and then she posts it.

00:10:54.000 It's like, I don't think you're being serious.

00:10:56.000 You know what I think?

00:10:58.000 When the story first comes out, I tweeted the link. 0.98

00:11:01.000 She tweets it with a goofy face saying, oh, these people are so crazy. 1.00

00:11:04.000 Oh, this post is so dumb. 1.00

00:11:06.000 What's the evidence of violence? 0.99

00:11:07.000 said, glad you're not upset and we can move on. She lost it.

00:11:10.000 She blocked me immediately. 0.97

00:11:11.000 Then she made another tweet saying, this is the violence behind this and now she's acting

00:11:16.000 like it's the big attack against her. No, I think she likes the press.

00:11:19.000 What's the evidence of violence? I'd like to hear her explain that to everybody.

00:11:23.000 Well, see, we've talked about this before. It's a fascinating thesis. See, if you grow

00:11:29.000 up or grow up in hardship, or perhaps you're in the armed forces, you experience real risks

00:11:37.000 and real threats.

00:11:38.000 When you are at risk of losing your life from the job you're working, you know what violence really is.

00:11:46.000 When you've been punched, attacked, or assaulted, you know what violence really is.

00:11:49.000 But if you are a soft-bellied... I don't know, let's say your family's rich and they sent you to like a Swiss boarding school, and so you've never really experienced hardship, Well, no one's ever dared speak ill of you.

00:12:00.000 So the first time someone says a nasty word, you get that shock to your system like someone attacked you.

00:12:04.000 They feel physical pain, like... You said what about me?

00:12:08.000 That's never happened before!

00:12:10.000 She probably grew up with participation awards and being told she was great the whole time.

00:12:15.000 Yeah, she went to a Swiss boarding school. 0.97

00:12:18.000 So I can't imagine someone like her has actually experienced hardship, but I don't think she's stupid. 0.92

00:12:25.000 Certainly, she understands that she doxed libs of TikTok and is lying about it because it's seriously easily proven. 0.89

00:12:30.000 It's now been confirmed by multiple sources.

00:12:33.000 That's why I pulled up other sources.

00:12:34.000 We have this from the Washington Free Beacon, which is, my friends, NewsGuard certified, which says, Lorenz not only revealed the identity of the anonymous person who runs the account, but also included a copy of the person's real estate license, which showed her home address.

00:12:48.000 The post later removed the home address from the story, then lied about it, saying we did not publish or link to any details about her personal life.

00:12:55.000 Let me just show you Taylor Lorenz's Wikipedia, which says, The article further publicized the identity of the account owner as Chaya Reichick and provided personal details.

00:13:05.000 Okay.

00:13:07.000 So she's lying.

00:13:08.000 It's obvious she's lying.

00:13:10.000 And she knows she's lying.

00:13:11.000 Tim, what's her motivation for doing that? 0.96

00:13:13.000 Because by exposing those personal details, it's inviting harassment, minimally.

00:13:20.000 It's inviting violence.

00:13:22.000 You're calling her out and you're giving them the directions to where to go get her.

00:13:26.000 Yeah, I think Look, I'm not going to give Taylor the benefit of the doubt.

00:13:30.000 I think she or whoever on the team included the link to the private address knowing what they were doing to terrorize.

00:13:38.000 Because, you know, we've got security issues, we know exactly what it means, and we have armed guards now.

00:13:44.000 We have to get armed security in a variety of fashions.

00:13:46.000 So when someone publishes your address in one of the most powerful and largest institutional publications in the world, even if it's for only an hour or two, You know what that means.

00:13:56.000 It means you're not safe.

00:13:57.000 And because of that, the person behind Libs of TikTok had to flee to a safe location. 0.82

00:14:02.000 Now, it's possible that this is no longer the current address of the individual.

00:14:07.000 All I know, and as we've reported, is that the address is listed in public records as the private residence of the individual.

00:14:15.000 Sometimes people have addresses listed in the public and they move from them and never change it.

00:14:19.000 I think it's a fair point to make because I want to make sure everyone's getting as much understanding of what's going on as possible.

00:14:25.000 Taylor Lorenz has not provided any evidence or any counterclaim other than, didn't do it.

00:14:29.000 It's like, okay, well here's the link, it's in the archive.

00:14:32.000 No, didn't do it.

00:14:33.000 The Washington Post says they didn't even link to it.

00:14:36.000 But you can actually just see the link in the article in the archive.

00:14:39.000 Yeah, and not only I didn't do it, but you are victimizing me by pointing out the fact that I did it.

00:14:46.000 Correct.

00:14:48.000 Very slimy.

00:14:49.000 I don't want to give them the benefit of the doubt for putting that up, but I don't want to assume intent either.

00:14:54.000 So I don't know exactly why it all happened.

00:14:56.000 But here's the thing.

00:14:57.000 So Ian, even if they didn't realize that this person was going to be harassed and potentially threatened and have their safety put at risk when they publish their address, that would just make them incredibly incompetent journalists who aren't worthy of their platform.

00:15:10.000 So either way, it's horrible.

00:15:12.000 Hey, I agree with that.

00:15:13.000 Massive failure regardless.

00:15:15.000 It has to be called out.

00:15:16.000 Yeah, I'm kind of like, geez, go easy on this.

00:15:19.000 But no, don't, because they really made a journalistic faux pas or like, like massive mistake in rendering, you know, as little harm as possible to the people that you're reporting on.

00:15:31.000 And that needs to be called out.

00:15:32.000 So it doesn't happen again.

00:15:34.000 They always cry foul when it's done to them.

00:15:38.000 When they're called out, when they're named, you know, they're a victim right away.

00:15:43.000 And they did it to somebody else, and they're denying it.

00:15:46.000 And they always deny, and then they move on, and they don't want to be held accountable.

00:15:51.000 What's that, Darvo, is that what it's called?

00:15:54.000 I don't know, I've heard of that before.

00:15:56.000 There's this thing that the left always says, it's like, deny... Attack, reverse, victim, and offender.

00:16:04.000 Yes.

00:16:05.000 Oh, so you reverse the victim and the offender.

00:16:06.000 That's what she's doing.

00:16:07.000 You attack and then you reverse the victim and the defender.

00:16:09.000 And that's what Taylor Lorenz is doing. 1.00

00:16:10.000 Absolutely.

00:16:11.000 She's denying she did the doxing, she's attacking people who are calling her out, and she's making herself the victim and the people who she attacked, the offenders. 0.69

00:16:21.000 So, it's funny because it's the left that often tweets about that, saying the right does it, but literally this is what they do.

00:16:26.000 It's like that cartoon you ever see of the woman, the feminist, and she's shoveling crap over a wall, and it says opinions over the internet, and when they throw it back she goes, help, I'm being oppressed!

00:16:36.000 It's like, welcome to the real world. 0.80

00:16:37.000 Listen.

00:16:39.000 You do not get to wield institutional power as a weapon and then hide behind it.

00:16:45.000 Because now these people are starting to realize what happens when other people, who also have the ability to wield institutional power, decide to strike back.

00:16:54.000 And they're not going to like it.

00:16:56.000 But I am done sitting around.

00:16:58.000 All we did All we did is put up a simple message.

00:17:02.000 Taylor Lorenz doxed libs of TikTok.

00:17:04.000 I did not insult her.

00:17:05.000 I did not post her address.

00:17:06.000 I didn't reveal any private information about her.

00:17:08.000 I made a simple statement.

00:17:10.000 Yeah, that's it.

00:17:11.000 Yeah, well, part of what makes this so hideous is the fact that a few weeks ago, before this was even a story, Taylor Lorenz was on MSNBC and she started crying because she said she fears for what people will do with each tiny little bit of information about her that was leaked.

00:17:26.000 So she's clearly very conscious about this kind of thing.

00:17:28.000 And then she went on to publish somebody else's personal private address.

00:17:33.000 And then lie about it.

00:17:34.000 And then lie about it.

00:17:36.000 All right, well, speaking of crying, let's advance to the next story in this saga, which is, it's all somewhat related, but it's a little bit different.

00:17:46.000 We have this from Politico.

00:17:48.000 Twitter's top lawyer reassures staff and cries during meeting about Musk takeover.

00:17:53.000 Vijaya Gade, a key executive involved in decisions to remove former President Donald Trump and ban political advertising, expressed uncertainty about the future of the platform.

00:18:02.000 I'm not going to gloat over someone crying.

00:18:06.000 I think it's a good example, nonetheless, of the problems this company has.

00:18:11.000 Elon Musk did not do anything.

00:18:14.000 The deal's not even done.

00:18:16.000 All that's happened is they've signed the document saying, we're gonna have a deal.

00:18:20.000 For all we know, it doesn't go through for some reason.

00:18:23.000 Side note, in the event the deal doesn't go through, Twitter has to pay Elon Musk $1 billion.

00:18:30.000 If Elon Musk screws up the deal, he's got to pay them $1 billion.

00:18:33.000 But I doubt that's going to happen.

00:18:35.000 So if the shareholders vote no on this deal, they have... Elon cornered this company.

00:18:42.000 This is incredible.

00:18:42.000 Let me just break this down.

00:18:44.000 Elon makes the offer shortly before their first quarter earnings report, in which the revenue is likely going to show bad quarter.

00:18:52.000 So the stock will go down.

00:18:53.000 Elon Musk offers him a premium.

00:18:55.000 If they reject that, and the stock goes down, now they're liable to the shareholders for not accepting something they knew was a good deal.

00:19:03.000 In the deal, they agree to a $1,000,000,000 breakup clause.

00:19:08.000 If the shareholders vote no, Elon Musk gets a free $1,000,000,000.

00:19:12.000 So now the shareholders are like, if we don't vote for this, not only are we likely going to see the stock plummet, but the company will be at $1,000,000,000 causing it to plummet even more.

00:19:22.000 Elon won.

00:19:23.000 Then 4D Chefs, if their stock plummets, he just gets a bunch of Robinhood accounts.

00:19:26.000 Buys it up anyway.

00:19:27.000 Boom.

00:19:28.000 Elon wins.

00:19:28.000 He gets all of their toilet paper shares.

00:19:31.000 But, so, those of you may be familiar, Vijaya Gade is the woman who was on the Joe Rogan Experience with me and Jack Dorsey.

00:19:38.000 And she's breaking down and crying.

00:19:40.000 Many people pointed out the reason she was on that show is she's actually the person behind everything that's been happening at Twitter in terms of all the wokeness, the political manipulation.

00:19:49.000 It's her.

00:19:50.000 She's the one, and now she's crying over this.

00:19:54.000 Look, I'm not here to gloat over the crying.

00:19:55.000 You want to make fun of her for crying and laugh about it, fine.

00:19:57.000 I'll just point out the crying shows, they know they've lost.

00:20:02.000 This is a major moment.

00:20:05.000 It reminds me of when the Google employees had their big open house or the big meeting after Trump won and they were all crying and worried and the tremendous angst that they expressed about their role in allowing Trump to win and defeat Hillary Clinton.

00:20:22.000 And we saw them respond and react.

00:20:25.000 What I'm wondering about is what's going to happen in the Twitter world, at the business, because there's going to be a resistance there, I think, to what Elon Musk wants to do.

00:20:35.000 The culture is so ingrained with the wokeness there, from the bottom and the top. 0.65

00:20:40.000 And we saw it with the attorney crying here.

00:20:43.000 How do you say her name again?

00:20:44.000 Vijaya Gade.

00:20:46.000 I can't try that one.

00:20:47.000 That's too hard for me.

00:20:48.000 But it's an example of what he's going to face with the personnel there and the wokeness.

00:20:54.000 And he's going to face a resistance like President Trump faced with the administrative state.

00:20:59.000 Well, then the first thing you do is fire Vijaya.

00:21:02.000 And then everyone else is going to bow.

00:21:03.000 Well, that's what Trump should have done with a lot of people in the first place.

00:21:05.000 He should have terminated some of these people.

00:21:07.000 And he loves saying you're fired.

00:21:09.000 It's shocking that he didn't.

00:21:10.000 But there's civil protections on many of the government employees, right?

00:21:14.000 On some of them, but there were a lot of them.

00:21:16.000 The national security staff, we should have let a lot of people go right away.

00:21:19.000 We had a lot of political appointees that were allowed to hang on.

00:21:23.000 Elon Musk can walk in and say, you're fired.

00:21:26.000 Yes, he can.

00:21:26.000 He owns it outright.

00:21:27.000 It's remarkable seeing some of these people, they really don't understand anything about work or companies.

00:21:32.000 Because some of these lefties are like, Elon Musk is, you know, I'm losing a bunch of followers.

00:21:37.000 Elon Musk is causing a lot of damage to the shareholders.

00:21:39.000 And it's just like, you realize he bought the company at 100%.

00:21:42.000 There's no shareholders anymore.

00:21:43.000 It's just him.

00:21:45.000 He's happy with it.

00:21:45.000 I hope people understand that if you're crying about the new boss that's coming in, he's gonna fire you if he finds that out.

00:21:51.000 No, yeah, exactly. 0.95

00:21:53.000 I was just thinking that it's remarkable how dumb and even really unemployable these people are outside of any kind of environment where they're being catered to by their higher-ups. 0.99

00:22:03.000 The fact that somebody takes over the company that you're working for and you immediately start publicly trash-talking them is so ridiculous. 0.99

00:22:10.000 It's like they've never had another job in their lives.

00:22:12.000 Well what their attitude should be and I grew up in the military and I matured through learning how to be a team player and a leader and work for people and we have changes of command and we have changes of administrations that we had to respond to over the years.

00:22:25.000 What your job is to find out where the boss wants to go, help him get there.

00:22:31.000 If there are problems in his way, identify what those problems are and help mitigate those.

00:22:36.000 Give him a pathway.

00:22:37.000 You're supposed to be part of a team.

00:22:38.000 If you're not going to row the oars in the direction the new boss wants to go, you have an obligation to resign.

00:22:47.000 This probably is their first job.

00:22:48.000 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

00:22:49.000 A lot of these people probably got masters or something, got out of college at 24, and then applied at Twitter, and it's the first place they've ever worked.

00:22:55.000 They probably view Twitter as a home, not a job.

00:22:58.000 Yeah, something like that.

00:22:59.000 Well, and I've sort of joked about this in the past, but it's part of why we live in such a bizarre world, where conservative people are afraid to voice their own opinions and signal the fact that they're on the right, and left-wing people are very comfortable doing so at their jobs.

00:23:09.000 Because when you state you're a left-wing individual of this brand of progressivism, all you're doing is advertising the fact that you're unemployable.

00:23:16.000 And yet, it seems as if employers are fine with it.

00:23:18.000 Like, what are you going to do if you get rid of all the conservatives?

00:23:21.000 Fire everyone who shows up on time?

00:23:23.000 Fire everyone who cares about doing the job?

00:23:24.000 Fire everyone who doesn't have an entitlement complex?

00:23:27.000 I'm pretty sure political protections, political discrimination only exists in Washington, D.C.

00:23:32.000 for the most part.

00:23:32.000 I mean, maybe there are some smaller jurisdictions, but D.C.

00:23:36.000 protects political affiliation as a protected class.

00:23:39.000 Makes sense.

00:23:40.000 If you're forced to go live in DC, at least partially because you're in Congress or whatever, having someone say, we don't serve Republicans is a huge problem.

00:23:47.000 Outside of there, I'm pretty sure if you went to a company and said that you were a leftist, they could be like, we're not hiring you.

00:23:54.000 Or if you were in the middle of your job and said you were a leftist or a conservative, they could be like, you're fired for that reason.

00:23:59.000 Yeah, well, it's an interesting point, too, because you could have a particular business that has to service a market.

00:24:05.000 So, for example, if you were doing something like producing conservative content, you probably wouldn't want to hire left-wing people, and it would be bizarre if there was a law requiring you to do so.

00:24:14.000 I don't think that hiring anybody that's political makes sense.

00:24:17.000 If someone comes in and they're like, I identify as a get-out identity politics person, well, hold on there.

00:24:23.000 Gender identity is protected.

00:24:25.000 That's pretty insane, in my opinion, sometimes.

00:24:28.000 Weird thing to bring up at a job interview.

00:24:30.000 That you can decide what your gender is and then have that protected is insane. 0.65

00:24:32.000 I understand immutable characteristics that you didn't choose, but if it's gender that you get to pick, that's weird.

00:24:38.000 And in New York, gender identity is described in law as self-expression.

00:24:43.000 Yeah, that's self-expression.

00:24:46.000 We've defies corporate logic.

00:24:47.000 We've talked about this.

00:24:50.000 There is no black and white approach to upholding civil rights.

00:24:55.000 It's always a gradient because everything is connected to everything else.

00:24:58.000 There's this idea that exists among many traditional or classical liberals where it's like, if we enshrine in law that men and women shall be treated equally, we're done.

00:25:08.000 We've done it.

00:25:09.000 We have equal rights.

00:25:11.000 And then someone says, okay, they're treated equally.

00:25:13.000 What does that mean?

00:25:14.000 Well, it means you can't discriminate against them based on, you know, their biological sex.

00:25:17.000 It's like, okay, well, this bathroom says women only. 0.90

00:25:21.000 You mean I'm not allowed to go in it because I'm biologically male?

00:25:23.000 Well, that's discriminating, isn't it?

00:25:25.000 It literally is in law.

00:25:26.000 In which case, then, you have judges say, okay, well, there's an exemption on that one.

00:25:30.000 Like, we didn't mean that.

00:25:32.000 You didn't?

00:25:33.000 What happens is a generation goes by and people don't know what you actually meant.

00:25:38.000 All that matters is what's written down in law and you get textualists who then just say, eh, it says you can't do it.

00:25:43.000 That's where we're at now.

00:25:44.000 The 1964 Civil Rights Act meant some very obvious things.

00:25:47.000 Provide service to people, don't kick them out because of these characteristics.

00:25:52.000 Now it's being challenged across the board.

00:25:55.000 So, what ends up happening is, you had that, I think it was a Supreme Court case where they tried arguing that, I think this is what happened, right?

00:26:02.000 Gender identity was considered the same thing as sexuality in some court case?

00:26:05.000 Yes, that's correct.

00:26:06.000 And they're not, but the court said so, and so I think that's what brought us to where we are now.

00:26:12.000 One thing led to another because everything is interconnected.

00:26:15.000 It's not a slippery slope, it's just dominoes falling over.

00:26:18.000 The next thing that's going to happen is, in New York, where they say, Gender identity is just self-expression.

00:26:24.000 Well, they have to do that.

00:26:26.000 Because what are they really protecting when they protect gender identity? 0.77

00:26:29.000 If you are biologically male and want to wear a dress and call yourself Susan, that's what they're protecting.

00:26:35.000 But what's the difference between calling yourself Susan in a dress and calling yourself Vulciferon, herald of the winter mists, while wearing a fursuit?

00:26:43.000 Literally nothing, except for the cultural interpretation.

00:26:46.000 But if a judge can say one set of clothing is protected and another isn't, based on his personal interpretation, then you're going to get a whole bunch of challenges.

00:26:55.000 Now, judges are supposed to interpret the law, but the next step will be, in 20 years, they're going to say the law says my self-expression.

00:27:02.000 That means I want to go to work as Volciferon.

00:27:05.000 You think it's going to take a whole 20 years for that?

00:27:06.000 No, no, no.

00:27:07.000 Not at all.

00:27:10.000 But actually, I think it might be reversing.

00:27:12.000 I mean, look at what's going on with Twitter.

00:27:13.000 These people are crying.

00:27:14.000 They've lost.

00:27:15.000 This mission that they've been on.

00:27:18.000 Well, I'm not sure they've lost yet.

00:27:20.000 No, I mean, I mean this, this portion of it, they're losing.

00:27:23.000 There's good news.

00:27:24.000 Okay.

00:27:25.000 And I think we have good reason to be hopeful for what Twitter could become.

00:27:29.000 And it was really quite bad.

00:27:31.000 Okay.

00:27:32.000 And it wasn't doing that well as a business, was it?

00:27:37.000 $5 billion in revenues.

00:27:39.000 It wasn't profitable.

00:27:42.000 113 million active followers.

00:27:44.000 Well, I think they got up to $212 million at one time.

00:27:47.000 Yeah.

00:27:48.000 At one time.

00:27:48.000 But the latest, according to Epoch Times, is $113 million.

00:27:52.000 If that's true, their stock was about to plummet.

00:27:56.000 Right, and so the people that work for Twitter should look at Elon Musk as a savior, because the business model was not working the way these guys had been running it.

00:28:07.000 I just did some math at 7,500 plus employees, imagining that they're making $75,000 a year.

00:28:14.000 They're probably making more than that.

00:28:16.000 It's more than half a billion dollars a year and just in employee salaries.

00:28:20.000 That's way, way, way too much for a company that's only pulling in five billion.

00:28:24.000 I mean, I guess a fifth of your revenue is... I haven't worked at enough companies to know if that's... That just sounds like way too much expenditure on employees.

00:28:34.000 And for a company that can send its people remote, it doesn't make... I've got to look at the business plan.

00:28:39.000 I want to just say, when we're talking about jobs, I think Vijay Gadde's job is not long for this world.

00:28:45.000 Sagar and Jetty says, Vijay Agade, the top censorship advocate at Twitter, who famously gaslit the world on Joe Rogan's podcast and censored the Hunter Biden laptop story, is very upset about the Elon Musk takeover.

00:28:58.000 Elon Musk responded, suspending the Twitter account of a major news organization for publishing a truthful story was obviously incredibly inappropriate.

00:29:07.000 Absolutely.

00:29:08.000 I can't imagine Elon Musk as the owner of this company is going to go in there and be like, I'm going to keep this person.

00:29:13.000 In fact, he's probably going to go in there and say, you caused the bulk of the problem, so thank you for your time and you are free to go.

00:29:19.000 So Derek, I'm curious, as someone who has worked in the White House and some pretty high levels within government, how is social media viewed or discussed at that level, if at all?

00:29:31.000 That's a good question.

00:29:32.000 It is discussed a lot.

00:29:33.000 And how to navigate it, if you're in the Trump White House, The stories, the media, and the way big media, mainstream media integrated itself with the narratives of social media.

00:29:47.000 And we see today that CNN was actively coordinating with people that were behind the Russia hoax to get the narrative right and to expand on it.

00:29:59.000 You know, we worried about it a lot.

00:30:00.000 Most of us were looking at the social media impact as a national level of influence for overseas, because I dealt mostly in the foreign policy world, and what we could learn from social media from looking at social media accounts in Ukraine, or the Middle East, or what ISIS was posting.

00:30:19.000 So, there's different ways of looking at it.

00:30:21.000 From my perspective, it was as an intelligence tool to get insights into groups, organizations, and people.

00:30:29.000 Do you think this is part of why the Taliban was allowed to be on Twitter while Trump was banned?

00:30:34.000 Well, you look at Khomeini and leaders of the Coats Force being on Twitter and The measures that they were taking and what they were calling for, violence against Israel, violence against other people, calling out for the death of President Trump, and they were not shut down.

00:30:55.000 They were not banned.

00:30:56.000 So the hypocrisy of the leadership of Twitter and when they talk about values and threats of violence, they never followed up their words with actions in exercising their leadership in an unbiased way.

00:31:12.000 They never did and that's part of the reason they've had so many problems and they lost so many followers from 214 million to 113 active users.

00:31:21.000 Let's talk about some weird goings on.

00:31:25.000 We have this tweet from Tyler Carditis.

00:31:28.000 Tyler is the CEO of Blaze Media, and he says, definitely something bizarre happening with the Twitter algorithm impacting follower counts over the past 24 to 48 hours.

00:31:39.000 A few examples.

00:31:40.000 Tucker Carlson is up 62,000.

00:31:41.000 Rogan, 63.

00:31:42.000 Rogan 63, Trump Jr. 87, and Ted Cruz is up 51,000.

00:31:42.000 Trump Jr., 87.

00:31:48.000 However, by contrast, Rachel Maddow is down 18, Anderson Cooper is down 10, AOC is down 27, Kamala Harris 22,

00:31:55.000 Hillary Clinton 17, What's going on?

00:31:58.000 He goes on to mention Tulsi Gabbard is up, Rand Paul is up, Ilhan Omar is down.

00:32:04.000 Here's my response.

00:32:05.000 So Tucker gained 62,000 followers in half a day.

00:32:10.000 He lost 50 followers yesterday.

00:32:12.000 This is not people coming back.

00:32:13.000 News broke yesterday.

00:32:15.000 Something effed up is happening.

00:32:17.000 Now, a lot of people responded saying, my account was inactive, or I just started a new account.

00:32:23.000 If you did not log in to your account, and then you log in, That's not making a new account.

00:32:30.000 Like, that's not making a new account.

00:32:31.000 You're not all of a sudden now following me for the first time.

00:32:33.000 If you were already following me, you just didn't use your account.

00:32:35.000 It existed.

00:32:35.000 I had the follower.

00:32:36.000 Correct.

00:32:37.000 This is new followers on his account.

00:32:40.000 Tell me this.

00:32:41.000 When the news broke yesterday morning that Elon Musk was set to finish this deal with Twitter, why then didn't people sign up?

00:32:47.000 Maybe they said, no, no, I will only sign up once I hear the news.

00:32:50.000 Okay.

00:32:51.000 Why didn't they sign up at 2.53 PM when the news broke that Elon had secured the deal?

00:32:57.000 Why did they wait until the very next day to start signing up?

00:33:03.000 Tucker Carlson lost 50 followers yesterday.

00:33:06.000 He gained 62,000 today.

00:33:08.000 Something does not make sense.

00:33:10.000 You guys put it in my mind that there's some nefarious stuff going on behind the scenes where they're like, whoa, better undo that blacklist algorithm that we had going in secret so that no one finds out.

00:33:19.000 And now it's just, this is the recalibration.

00:33:21.000 I mean, it's total speculation.

00:33:22.000 I have no idea what's happening right now.

00:33:24.000 Well I think it's we have to speculate and I think the issue is we're not gonna be able to understand what's going on until there's someone inside the Elon Musk team gets in there and asks the questions and hopefully the records are preserved the algorithms and what they're doing are preserved and one can go back and look at was there shadow banning how many bots were there how many of the the bots how many bots were following you know Yeah, it's real tempting as a social media network to count the bots as people that are logging in every day.

00:34:00.000 How many did you say millions of people log in a day?

00:34:02.000 10 million?

00:34:03.000 113 million.

00:34:04.000 How many of those are bots?

00:34:05.000 Twitter's not going to go out of its way to hunt them down and eradicate them.

00:34:08.000 They're going to let those numbers stand so that they can get a better investment.

00:34:11.000 Interesting.

00:34:12.000 I want to highlight a few posts, though.

00:34:15.000 There's a possibility this is something not nefarious.

00:34:18.000 It's interesting.

00:34:19.000 One person said, no, people are just reactivating their accounts because they want to neaner over the meltdowns.

00:34:25.000 Good point.

00:34:26.000 It may actually be that many people deactivated their Twitters and have all reactivated them right now because, you know, they want to be on Twitter.

00:34:35.000 But hold on.

00:34:36.000 Someone else said, Speaking for myself, I am back for the first time since 2018.

00:34:42.000 My phone number was banned from creating an account until yesterday.

00:34:45.000 So somebody tweeted saying that they were banned until yesterday.

00:34:48.000 Here's another one.

00:34:49.000 MattFTM says, I was finally just allowed to tweet and use the platform two days ago after being permabanned for four years.

00:34:56.000 I assume I'm not the only one who was sidelined for having too few followers to make noise.

00:35:00.000 Starting over fresh now though and not going anywhere.

00:35:03.000 Several posts.

00:35:04.000 I've seen this.

00:35:05.000 I retweeted someone.

00:35:07.000 A lot of people all of a sudden are saying, I was banned and now I'm a lot back on the platform.

00:35:11.000 So yes, it seems like maybe there's a mix.

00:35:14.000 But here's why I don't think it's just conservatives coming back and reactivating their accounts.

00:35:18.000 It means simultaneously and by perfect, perfect physics, The left is deactivating as the right reactivates.

00:35:27.000 I have seen evidence of that.

00:35:29.000 I went on Facebook for all my friends from L.A.

00:35:32.000 who are actors out there, and man, they are deleting their Twitters.

00:35:35.000 They are all up in arms about it.

00:35:37.000 I've deleted my Twitter yesterday.

00:35:38.000 I'm done with Twitter.

00:35:39.000 No more Twitter for me.

00:35:40.000 So they're actually deleting it.

00:35:41.000 They're not just saying they're going to.

00:35:43.000 What happens if you delete it from your iPhone?

00:35:46.000 Well, if you delete the app, you still have the account.

00:35:48.000 If you delete your account, that's a different story.

00:35:51.000 That probably removes the follower number.

00:35:53.000 I'm wondering how many are actually removing their account.

00:35:56.000 They might not want to be active, but they want to sort of follow.

00:36:00.000 Sean King, he deleted his account, but then reinstantiated it, deactivated it, and then reactivated it later.

00:36:05.000 All the media reported he deactivated.

00:36:07.000 He was off the platform.

00:36:08.000 And then he came back like, no, I didn't, I didn't do that.

00:36:10.000 He did.

00:36:11.000 So, so maybe, maybe it really is that simple that the people on the left are like,

00:36:15.000 haram-fi saying they're leaving, but Elon Musk didn't do anything.

00:36:18.000 But he doesn't even own the platform yet.

00:36:21.000 They say they're going to Canada, but they never go to Canada.

00:36:23.000 Yeah, right.

00:36:24.000 They'll be back.

00:36:25.000 I wonder if we could find out how many of these followers, like Rachel Maddow, Hillary Clinton,

00:36:30.000 it was the same person following all those five accounts and they, they, the one person left.

00:36:34.000 So it looks like five followers were lost.

00:36:36.000 Well, that's why it's not relevant.

00:36:39.000 I'm not adding up all the numbers.

00:36:40.000 I'm doing them individually, like Tucker gained 62,000.

00:36:42.000 You think 62,000?

00:36:44.000 So, look, I don't buy it.

00:36:46.000 You mean to tell me that yesterday, when the news broke that Elon did this, 50 people were like, I'm quitting and deactivating my account!

00:36:56.000 I wonder if he was shadow banned, and those people have been trying to follow him, but it never was reflected in the numbers.

00:37:02.000 Here's one possibility.

00:37:03.000 People on the left follow Tucker Carlson.

00:37:05.000 And so, 3,000 leftists quit, and 2,950 conservatives joined, so it's a negative 50 number.

00:37:10.000 Maybe.

00:37:15.000 I don't think the left follows Tucker Carlson because we know this from Vijay Agade, leftists don't follow conservative journalists, conservatives do follow left-wing journalists.

00:37:24.000 So it seems unlikely.

00:37:26.000 I look at this.

00:37:29.000 Yesterday, conservatives were deactivating their accounts.

00:37:31.000 They don't buy it.

00:37:33.000 I think people are mentioning they were unbanned for the first time.

00:37:36.000 I think Elon Musk is going to walk in the doors, and there's going to be something within the system of Twitter that is so obvious and overtly political bias, they got rid of it.

00:37:46.000 They said, get rid of it.

00:37:48.000 The new guy's coming in, and if he sees that, we're in trouble.

00:37:51.000 And imagine what the press is going to be.

00:37:53.000 Preserve the evidence.

00:37:55.000 Well, they have until October to finish the deal.

00:37:57.000 Yeah, I know.

00:37:58.000 And it's going to be very hard.

00:37:59.000 I'm definitely very interested to see what it is. 0.93

00:38:01.000 At the very least, this has exposed what we are already knew, and we all already said, and which has been exposed a million times before, but basically that these people are weak and they're cowardly.

00:38:11.000 You know, Twitter was actively censoring conservatives.

00:38:17.000 And conservatives were still staying.

00:38:19.000 It's not even as if Elon has come and said, we're going to instantiate a policy of censoring left-wing people.

00:38:25.000 They've just said they're going to stop censoring conservatives.

00:38:27.000 And they're like, I can't be here for that.

00:38:30.000 That's the amazing thing people pointed out that Elon Musk is not saying he's going to wield power against Democrats.

00:38:36.000 He's simply saying Twitter will stop putting the boot on conservatives.

00:38:40.000 And so they're all freaking out.

00:38:41.000 But liberals, like you said, do not want to read or listen to alternative points of view even if they're evidence-based.

00:38:50.000 Conservatives tend to look at a wider cross-section of information.

00:38:55.000 They get blamed all the time for, oh you only get your news from Fox News.

00:39:00.000 That's the farthest thing from the case because most everyone I know, and I think you know too, Yeah, I mean, there have been studies about this that we've talked about before on this show, that conservatives are more likely to understand left-wing positions than left-wingers are to understand conservative positions.

00:39:24.000 But I think it even goes deeper than that.

00:39:27.000 A very wise left-wing liberal arts major told me when I was in college, when you're used to a position of privilege, equality feels like oppression.

00:39:37.000 Well, that's what's happening to them on Twitter.

00:39:39.000 They're finally getting a taste of some small iota of potential equality somewhere down the line, and they are losing their minds.

00:39:48.000 So I'm just trying to, we got, we got, we've got breaking news coming in, but, um, man, we got, we got a ton, we got, we got too much going on.

00:39:57.000 That was brilliant.

00:39:58.000 Oh, thank you.

00:39:59.000 Thank you.

00:40:00.000 Yeah.

00:40:00.000 So, sorry, I was, I was checking important Veritas information.

00:40:03.000 You were just saying a bunch of awesome stuff.

00:40:05.000 Oh, thank you.

00:40:06.000 Oh my gosh, this is my best episode.

00:40:09.000 Let's just keep, let's stay on this topic.

00:40:11.000 All right, continue.

00:40:12.000 Well, no, I mean, I'm all... I was hoping you wouldn't call me out like that, like I'm out of insights.

00:40:16.000 That's it for the night.

00:40:17.000 One of the things you were saying is about conservatism looking outside the box, kind of taking in about... I think that the scientific method is actually a very conservative function, and it's kind of the basis of modern science.

00:40:29.000 There's other types of science that aren't the scientific method.

00:40:32.000 I don't even know if I'd come up with one off the top of my head.

00:40:34.000 But to say, like, it feels like it should be this way, so let's just assume it's going to be like that.

00:40:39.000 That seems like what you would say is the liberal mind right now, unfortunately.

00:40:43.000 Being a little extreme, taking risks, unnecessary risks, violates the entire scientific method where you just try and disprove yourself and have humility.

00:40:52.000 Well, it just reminds me of something Secretary Rumsfeld said about the known knowns, the known unknowns, and then the unknown unknowns.

00:41:00.000 OK, and conservatives tend to be, in my view, more exploratory.

00:41:06.000 Yeah, I think liberals are driven by emotion.

00:41:09.000 And we've talked about this, you use this phrase a lot, the left sees that or believes that there is no truth but power, and so it doesn't matter what the actual scientific consensus is on something, it doesn't matter what the evidence says or what makes sense, what matters is what will get me more power, what will get me where I want.

00:41:24.000 And if something comes up, like in climate science, that challenges their dogma, They attack it.

00:41:31.000 They don't want to understand it.

00:41:33.000 They don't look at the evidence and try to parse it out They want to attack it deny it and go after the person and discredit them.

00:41:40.000 Mm-hmm Yeah, exactly and even there whenever they have a statistic that sounds like it would support their case.

00:41:44.000 They completely distort it So when they say things like 97% of climate scientists agree that humans are responsible in some way for climate change what they're leaving out is 97% of climate scientists are did not say we need a Green New Deal or that the world is

00:41:58.000 going to end in 10 years or that it's catastrophic. But that's all assumed when they say 97%

00:42:04.000 of climate scientists agree with our narrative. But it's not the case. So Twitter banned ads

00:42:09.000 that go against their narrative on climate change. That's overtly political.

00:42:14.000 The ads themselves aren't gruesome or offensive or objectionable.

00:42:18.000 They're just politically objectionable if you have the wrong opinion.

00:42:20.000 This company was overtly biased.

00:42:23.000 The left just lies and pretends it's not, and they manipulate people and it works.

00:42:27.000 So when I talk to people like Stephen Marsh, for instance, who is a good dude, came on the show.

00:42:32.000 He's like, oh, I'm, you know, I'm just looking at things from above.

00:42:34.000 I'm not on either side.

00:42:36.000 But his worldview is influenced by manipulation and deception coming from the left.

00:42:40.000 And he doesn't even know about things like Joe and Hunter Biden sharing a bank account.

00:42:44.000 It's like, well, you're not in the middle, dude.

00:42:46.000 You're on the left.

00:42:47.000 You're not doing the research.

00:42:48.000 And he's like, I did the research.

00:42:49.000 I'm like, yeah, I get it.

00:42:50.000 You're doing research on like polls and studies, but you didn't know that that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden shared a bank account.

00:42:55.000 Now, when I say that, they call me right wing for saying it when it's a fact, not an opinion.

00:43:01.000 But let's jump over to this.

00:43:02.000 We got breaking news.

00:43:03.000 So I was actually, this is why I got distracted because I had got a notification on my phone.

00:43:07.000 We have this from the Hodge twins.

00:43:08.000 It's actually a Veritas video breaking leaked audio of Twitter.

00:43:12.000 All hands reveals employees press leadership over what free speech means.

00:43:17.000 A plan for mass exodus due to Elon Musk questionable ethics and questioning if President Trump will return to the platform.

00:43:25.000 Shout out to James O'Keefe and Project Veritas, Elon Musk.

00:43:28.000 You need to reinstate them immediately as soon as you gain control of the company.

00:43:31.000 Let's play this video and see what's going on.

00:43:33.000 Mr. Musk, plan on dealing with a mass exodus.

00:43:36.000 Considering acquisition is by a person with questionable ethics.

00:43:39.000 The question of attrition, um...

00:43:42.000 You know, as Parag stated, you know, one of the themes of today is continuity and ensuring that Parag and this leadership team continues to operate the business successfully on behalf of our users, on behalf of our customers.

00:43:56.000 And that has obviously been a big topic of discussion at the board.

00:43:58.000 And as I mentioned, an area that is important to Elon Musk as well because of the importance of Twitter.

00:44:03.000 of Twitter as a service.

00:44:05.000 With no board in place, who will keep Elon accountable and how?

00:44:08.000 Elon made it clear in public that a large part of the reason he bought the platform

00:44:13.000 was because of our moderation policies and disagreements in how we deal with health.

00:44:17.000 This puts Twitter service and trust and safety, as well as anybody who cares about health on the platform,

00:44:23.000 in a very difficult position.

00:44:25.000 Twitter service, the role of our policies, and the capabilities we've built around content moderation,

00:44:32.000 are fundamental to keeping Twitter safe and growing.

00:44:38.000 I believe that there is a lot of work we have to do to continue making that better.

00:44:44.000 I want to pause real quick in the middle of this, we've got another minute, but I just want to point out, conservatives are willing to stay on the platform when they're getting censored, and the left is getting away with it.

00:44:53.000 The left is unwilling to stay on the platform if conservatives aren't getting censored.

00:44:57.000 So, Twitter saw the formula.

00:44:59.000 You can ban a conservative, and most conservatives stay.

00:45:02.000 You ban a liberal, they freak out and revolt.

00:45:05.000 Only ban the conservatives.

00:45:06.000 This is evidenced by the fact that by sheer fear that Elon might bring Trump back, they're leaving the platform.

00:45:14.000 I say it this way, when you had the weak parent in charge of Twitter and the little kid was

00:45:19.000 screaming I want an ice cream cone or I'll hold my breath, Twitter's Parag Agrawal and

00:45:24.000 Vijaya Gade were like, okay, okay, just stop screaming and I'll give you the ice cream. 1.00

00:45:27.000 Elon Musk is the dad being like, okay, go hold your breath outside and I'll have the

00:45:31.000 ice cream inside.

00:45:32.000 You're not getting ice cream.

00:45:33.000 But let's play more.

00:45:34.000 And now they're going, I'm running away from home.

00:45:36.000 And he's like, goodbye.

00:45:37.000 Yeah, here we go.

00:45:38.000 Sometimes that means more thoughtful moderation.

00:45:42.000 Sometimes that means making things simpler.

00:45:45.000 Sometimes that means changing product incentives to be able to solve problems through products sometimes instead of policies.

00:45:53.000 During the last All Hands, you said that you trust Elon Musk.

00:45:57.000 The correct quote was, we trust him.

00:45:59.000 So who is we?

00:46:00.000 And talking to Elon, what made you trust him?

00:46:02.000 And we have the conversation I had with him when we were excited to have him join our board.

00:46:08.000 That was because as a major shareholder and an opinionated user, we wanted that voice

00:46:15.000 in our boardroom so that we could learn. Is there an updated understanding on what

00:46:20.000 free speech means? The question behind the question here, which is where might Twitter's product go as a private

00:46:28.000 company in the future once this deal closes? To best gain perspective on this, as I said earlier,

00:46:35.000 we'll find ways to bring Elon for a Q&A with all of you to understand better what his vision

00:46:41.000 for the future of Twitter might look like.

00:46:45.000 I wouldn't say anything outright or overtly crazy other than these people are blind, completely clueless, and they're right.

00:46:55.000 Elon joining the board was an opinionated outside perspective that would help them, but they blocked him.

00:47:00.000 So him coming in and just saying, I'm taking it over?

00:47:02.000 Good.

00:47:03.000 Shake it up a little bit.

00:47:04.000 They have ideological blinders.

00:47:06.000 They talk about moderation policies.

00:47:11.000 They don't have moderation policies.

00:47:12.000 They have extremist policies that are driven by censorship of views that they don't like.

00:47:18.000 They talk about safety, but almost all their rules on safety dealing with the COVID outbreak turned out the science wasn't on their side over time.

00:47:27.000 Drugs that they said didn't work actually worked.

00:47:32.000 The CDC was wrong on masks.

00:47:34.000 The CDC was wrong on the effects of the immunizations on people.

00:47:40.000 We have to be a little specific, though.

00:47:42.000 I think the issue is that Twitter decided one doctor was better than another doctor when they shouldn't be doing that.

00:47:49.000 YouTube takes a similar position in that YouTube's decided the same doctors that Twitter sided with are the correct doctors, and this is the problem.

00:47:56.000 YouTube, you are not correct.

00:47:58.000 However, I will say, on the mask thing, In what context were you referring to the CDC mask things?

00:48:08.000 They were first saying masks aren't needed.

00:48:11.000 Right.

00:48:11.000 And then they don't work.

00:48:13.000 And then they said they're needed.

00:48:14.000 And then we found out that the masks were not effective against the size of the virus.

00:48:21.000 And then it evolved up and down over time.

00:48:23.000 OK.

00:48:24.000 So it was just strange and it lost a lot of confidence of people in the CDC on that issue.

00:48:30.000 I think the most important point is that early on, Twitter was on the side of, don't discuss lab leak theory.

00:48:37.000 And they were also on the side of, when Dr. Fauci came out in March of 2020 saying, don't wear masks, Twitter was on his side.

00:48:43.000 And he was wrong about that.

00:48:45.000 He came back out later and says, OK, maybe you should wear masks.

00:48:48.000 And Twitter just flips with him.

00:48:49.000 I'm like, you cannot build confidence with people if you can't give them a cohesive set of instructions on what the plan is.

00:48:55.000 They would just come out and say, oh, well, the science changed.

00:48:57.000 OK, well, I think I don't know where we're at with the pandemic.

00:49:02.000 YouTube has goofy rules.

00:49:04.000 I think it's fair to say in addressing those goofy rules, masks stop you from spitting on people.

00:49:09.000 So they have a certain degree of effectiveness.

00:49:12.000 Okay, so the sanitation issue, it turns out that getting it from touching something, okay, you have a 1 in 10,000 chance of it being transmissible, okay, if you touch a contaminated surface.

00:49:26.000 But we were first told that if you touch a surface, you have a high chance of getting it and everyone was cleansing everything.

00:49:34.000 People were cleaning the canned goods coming back from the grocery store based upon CDC guidance.

00:49:41.000 It turned out that was wrong.

00:49:42.000 It created hysteria.

00:49:43.000 Subway cars were being sanitized every day, multiple times, but it wasn't necessary.

00:49:49.000 Yeah, from this conversation, the obsession with health and the obsession with safety is really disturbing.

00:49:55.000 It sounds like rhetoric, and maybe this isn't the conversation to have the ethical conversation, but compared to the board meetings we would have at Mines and the conversations, this is complete insane rhetoric where you're like, yo, if you're going to spin this word around the house like this, let's talk about what it means.

00:50:10.000 Amen.

00:50:11.000 Let's come back to one point she said on there.

00:50:13.000 Free speech.

00:50:15.000 What does free speech mean?

00:50:16.000 Free speech means free speech except yelling fire in a movie theater, right?

00:50:23.000 You're allowed to do that.

00:50:24.000 You're allowed to do that.

00:50:25.000 You're allowed to yell fire in a movie theater.

00:50:27.000 If it's empty.

00:50:28.000 No, no, you're allowed.

00:50:29.000 Oh, but you can be punished for it.

00:50:31.000 No, you can't.

00:50:31.000 Oh, so this was actually reversed.

00:50:33.000 I think in like 1968.

00:50:34.000 So it's Brandenburg v.

00:50:36.000 Ohio.

00:50:36.000 I think.

00:50:37.000 Okay, the initial ruling in the early 1900s was that well, you

00:50:40.000 can't yell fire in a crowded theater and the Supreme Court overruled that saying yeah, you can you actually can do

00:50:45.000 that.

00:50:45.000 Can you go into a restaurant be like there's rats all over the

00:50:48.000 place and then everyone runs out of the restaurant and doesn't

00:50:51.000 That's not a criminal issue.

00:50:53.000 That's a civil tort issue for you, lying.

00:50:55.000 Same with fire?

00:50:57.000 Yeah, you'd probably get sued by the business, but it's not a matter of law.

00:51:01.000 It's not a matter of criminal law.

00:51:03.000 But let's go back.

00:51:04.000 She's a leader at the organization, I assume, and she's saying, well, what is free speech?

00:51:11.000 Well, this was her.

00:51:13.000 She was relaying a question from employees.

00:51:15.000 So the woman was getting questions and she was asking the CEO.

00:51:18.000 It's indicative that they still don't know what it is if they're still asking the question.

00:51:22.000 Also, I believe when Oliver Wendell Holmes said you can't shout fire in a crowded theater, he was using that as a justification for censoring people who were protesting the First World War.

00:51:31.000 Yeah.

00:51:32.000 Yeah, and it got overturned, I think, in 1968.

00:51:34.000 So they'd go into a theater and yell just to get people riled up?

00:51:37.000 No, no.

00:51:37.000 So they were not actual... He was using it as an analogy.

00:51:40.000 They were passing out flyers that protested the First World War.

00:51:44.000 And they ruled that you shouldn't be able to do that.

00:51:45.000 And his justification is, well, you can't yell fire in a crowded theater, so you can't do this either.

00:51:49.000 Some people are pointing out that Parag Agrawal was not born in the United States.

00:51:54.000 And so the CEO who is dictating our speech, that's very problematic, that's someone who isn't from this country. 1.00

00:52:02.000 My response to that is Elon Musk was also not born in this country and would also be dictating speech in this country.

00:52:06.000 So yeah, either way, you've got that problem.

00:52:10.000 So, is it an issue?

00:52:11.000 I suppose the issue is, are our values being upheld?

00:52:14.000 And Twitter, you know what I think Twitter is?

00:52:17.000 It is... You guys ever play the game Life Genesis on old Windows 95?

00:52:22.000 Negative.

00:52:22.000 You don't remember that one?

00:52:24.000 So, it's a bunch of little dots, little squares, pixels that interact with each other in unique ways and it creates patterns based on certain rules.

00:52:34.000 And in the version I had, you had two colors.

00:52:36.000 Basically, if you have 100 blue pixels and you drop one red into it, the red gets engulfed instantly.

00:52:44.000 It just becomes blue.

00:52:45.000 That's what Twitter is.

00:52:47.000 Twitter is 98.7% Democrat voting, Democrat donating.

00:52:52.000 Anybody who goes in there and is conservative is crushed instantly.

00:52:54.000 Their ideas don't make it anywhere.

00:52:56.000 You're not going to be sitting in a Twitter meeting and they say, how do we deal with this problem of harassment?

00:53:01.000 And be the lone conservative being like, Uh, it's not harassment.

00:53:05.000 What are you talking about?

00:53:06.000 You're gonna keep your mouth shut because you're one out of, you know, 30 people, and you know they'll harass you, they'll take your job from you, so you do nothing.

00:53:14.000 All of the policies then start moving further and further to the left and going insane, and so the people at Twitter genuinely do not understand how insane they've driven themselves.

00:53:23.000 As I've often described it, Jack Dorsey built a big toilet and then stuck his mouth on the end of it and started eating the refuse he created.

00:53:32.000 I know it's a crass way to describe it, but this is what happened.

00:53:34.000 People went on Twitter, started saying insane things to get traffic.

00:53:38.000 The more insane they got, the more Jack himself was surrounded by the insanity that he had welcomed.

00:53:45.000 So what happens then is, I'm sitting down with Jack and Vijaya and Joe Rogan, and I said, yeah, your rules are overtly biased.

00:53:51.000 Your rule's outright.

00:53:52.000 And Jack says, no they're not.

00:53:53.000 And I was like, you have a misgendering policy.

00:53:56.000 You can't see that that is an outright biased rule that conservatives are confused by?

00:54:02.000 And he was like, but we're trying to help people who might be suicidal.

00:54:06.000 And I'm like, You're not helping body dysmorphic people.

00:54:09.000 You're not helping transracial people. 1.00

00:54:11.000 No, you live in a bubble.

00:54:12.000 You live in a bubble you can't see out of, so you've enacted policies that are insane to the average person.

00:54:18.000 And that's for a miniscule percentage of the population.

00:54:22.000 You're changing all the norms for a minority of a minority of the population. 0.99

00:54:27.000 But we're talking specifically, I would say the minority is the leftists.

00:54:33.000 Blair White is a trans person.

00:54:35.000 Blair White doesn't agree with what these people are saying.

00:54:38.000 It's not even an issue of, in my opinion, trans issues.

00:54:41.000 It's an issue of ideology.

00:54:43.000 So what happens is you have white progressive liberals who claim everyone else is racist.

00:54:48.000 They claim Candace Owens is a white supremacist. 1.00

00:54:50.000 They claim Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy. 0.84

00:54:54.000 It is their fringe ideology that is dominating and getting these rules made.

00:54:58.000 It's not even an issue of...

00:55:00.000 Are black people upset over racism?

00:55:01.000 Yes, many are, but they're not the ones enacting these changes.

00:55:04.000 They're not the ones going to Twitter and demanding Twitter do these things for them.

00:55:07.000 Some activists are, some aren't.

00:55:10.000 It is this weird fringe cult that is going in and making rules for everybody else while believing that they're the white saviors.

00:55:16.000 And you also have the issue of the trans agenda which is trying to groom people that have dysphoria or issues or might be migrating to being actually gay and say you're not actually gay, you are trans. 0.91

00:55:29.000 And you need surgery, and you need to... But again, that's white progressive women doing that. 1.00

00:55:34.000 Correct.

00:55:35.000 So, you know, a lot of people bring up the idea of like a trans agenda or whatever, and I'll say, okay, in the context that doesn't refer to an individual who is transgender, it refers to the cult. 0.70

00:55:47.000 Because when you see a video of a white liberal woman, who is a straight married woman, but she's talking about how she wants to teach kids these things, it's an issue of the cult.

00:55:56.000 White, weird, progressive, fringe politics. 0.64

00:56:00.000 I believe social media has wrapped them into a bubble of insanity where they push policies that regular people think are insane.

00:56:10.000 I want to make it possible.

00:56:11.000 I'm being pedantic with myself here.

00:56:12.000 I want to make a slight correction.

00:56:13.000 The 1919 court case we were referring to about yelling fire in a private theater.

00:56:17.000 It wasn't even the person protesting the first world war.

00:56:19.000 I looked it up to double check.

00:56:20.000 They were just protesting the draft in the first world war.

00:56:23.000 So it's even worse than that, but I wanted to point that out.

00:56:26.000 And Sam, I hear what you're saying, but I think it's fair to call it the trans agenda because even though not every single person who's considered to be transgender is on board with it, it seems to be how they're unified and behaving as a political force.

00:56:40.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:56:41.000 If you're saying it's an agenda to encourage transgender or gender ideology, sure. 0.99

00:56:47.000 If you're saying it's a trans agenda as if transgender people are the ones behind it, I would say I disagree with that.

00:56:53.000 Because, for one, the transgender community is very, very small, and if you go on Twitter and if you look at these videos, it is typically, like, white liberal women. 0.91

00:57:02.000 However, there are many non-binary individuals who are advocating for this stuff, too.

00:57:06.000 I'm not saying they're not.

00:57:07.000 I'm just saying I think it's important to call out the ideology while recognizing we're friends with Blair White, who's amazing and doesn't agree with them.

00:57:15.000 We also have a similar situation with white liberals, male and female, pushing the immigration agenda.

00:57:24.000 That is not the dominant theme or the dominant issue for the Hispanic community in this country, regardless if they're from South America, Cuba, Puerto Rico, or any place else, okay?

00:57:34.000 It's being pushed by the white liberals.

00:57:37.000 And I should mention this, of the Hispanic people I have met who are legal immigrants They are not fans of illegal immigration. 0.97

00:57:46.000 So the idea that this is an issue that is being pushed by Hispanic voters as a bloc is ridiculous. 0.72

00:57:52.000 You're right, very often it's just white liberals who want to pat themselves on the back. 0.95

00:57:56.000 Virtue signaling.

00:57:57.000 Or big businesses that want cheap labor. 0.69

00:58:00.000 Well, let's talk about what the next step is because, my friends, if you thought Elon Musk was going to save you, I'm sorry.

00:58:08.000 We may have won a battle.

00:58:10.000 I tell you, this moment is like the battle for Helms Deep.

00:58:13.000 And we made one last ride.

00:58:15.000 And then up in the break of dawn, we saw Elon Musk, the white wizard, coming to our rescue. 0.97

00:58:22.000 But the war is not over.

00:58:23.000 We still have to get the one ring of censorship to Mount Doom.

00:58:27.000 And what's happening now is the Biden administration is calling for Section 230 reform.

00:58:32.000 Obama has called for more regulations on speech.

00:58:35.000 You've got Ed Markey calling for algorithmic justice, he called it.

00:58:40.000 Lawmakers are calling for greater oversight of social media.

00:58:44.000 According to the White House, Biden has long argued that tech platforms must be held accountable.

00:58:48.000 When they lose in the private sector, where they've controlled the narrative for so long, they are falling back to the public sector and they're going to try to use government as their cudgel to beat people down and maintain that narrative.

00:58:58.000 So battle may be won, but we must get the ring of censorship to Mount Doom.

00:59:03.000 Yeah, so when Biden says they need to be held accountable for the harms they caused, do you think he might be referring to the fact that they suppressed a true story about his son, which in part contributed to him being elected as president of the United States?

00:59:15.000 Well, they're losing that power.

00:59:16.000 Elon Musk publicly comes out and says they should not have done that.

00:59:19.000 And Joe Biden's like, oh, geez, man, how am I going to win in 2024?

00:59:22.000 Come on, man.

00:59:24.000 I can't win an election without big tech censoring people and shutting down conversations around what my kid does.

00:59:24.000 Come on, man.

00:59:30.000 Ask Time Magazine.

00:59:31.000 I can't.

00:59:32.000 What am I going to do?

00:59:32.000 What's their oversight that they want to create on this?

00:59:35.000 It's nebulous.

00:59:37.000 But they're like, we can't allow disinformation.

00:59:39.000 I don't think they'll win.

00:59:40.000 Well, but they've already, I mean, they've already started doing this.

00:59:44.000 Remember, they were telling large social media platforms that they had to censor certain information surrounding COVID-19.

00:59:50.000 And they did.

00:59:50.000 Yeah.

00:59:51.000 And we saw that, uh, wasn't like media companies getting a subsidy on like vaccine issues or something like that?

00:59:57.000 Absolutely right.

00:59:57.000 When, when, uh, what did we see?

00:59:59.000 The Democratic Party went to Twitter, I think it was, saying certain people should be banned.

01:00:03.000 And it was, uh, we had Tom Fitton in just the other day who was, who was talking about that.

01:00:06.000 So, right, right, right.

01:00:08.000 There was some kind of expose they did where the Democrats were actually sending messages like, hey, get rid of these people.

01:00:12.000 The coordination between the White House and the tech media companies has been, I think, eye-opening and it's scary.

01:00:21.000 And the collaboration and the coordination between the two is what McCarthy should investigate if they get the majority.

01:00:30.000 And they're going to need subpoenas, and they're going to need preservation of record requests, and those should go out now.

01:00:35.000 And it's going to be very hard, even if you have an aggressive Republican leadership in the House of Representatives, to get after this, because you're going to face resistance, delays, stalling tactics from the administration and the White House, the executive privilege issues, all of that, and they'll try to run out the clock.

01:00:52.000 But they have to go after it.

01:00:54.000 You have to begin the fight.

01:00:55.000 And just like with putting up your billboard, Tim, you have to fight.

01:00:59.000 You have to let them know there's gonna be a cost.

01:01:02.000 You have to give an example to others.

01:01:05.000 Our base needs it, okay?

01:01:07.000 People need the example to stand up and fight and go to meetings and participate in the democracy.

01:01:12.000 And they need to see their leaders standing up.

01:01:15.000 I don't think Kevin McCarthy's gonna do anything.

01:01:17.000 I don't disagree with you.

01:01:21.000 No.

01:01:22.000 Just raining his parade over here.

01:01:24.000 Well, there's hope, but there's also hope that one could get a different leader.

01:01:29.000 That's what we need.

01:01:30.000 We need a Speaker Trump.

01:01:32.000 Maybe.

01:01:33.000 What are they going to vote for?

01:01:34.000 I have the greatest Speaker.

01:01:36.000 I'd like to ask you something.

01:01:37.000 So I'm really curious about how new this relationship between the White House and these large social media companies is.

01:01:44.000 Was there any inkling when you were in the White House that things like this had been occurring under the Obama administration prior to Trump taking power?

01:01:50.000 Absolutely right.

01:01:51.000 Ben Rhodes talked about how foolish the mainstream media is and the tech leadership that he could manipulate them and he made fun of them in private it came out and he was embarrassed by that. 0.60

01:02:03.000 But the key issue is that he was facilitating and coordinating this with daily messaging for coordinating the White House messages and the CNNs and MSNBCs but also the social media lapped it up. 0.64

01:02:20.000 So we had that beginning in the Obama administration.

01:02:22.000 I'd say previously you also had it, but it wasn't as coordinated or as effective as we saw with the advent of social media really growing during the Obama years.

01:02:35.000 12 years ago, 14 years ago now, right?

01:02:38.000 So, things have moved along quite quickly.

01:02:41.000 I think we've got real problems here and I think, you know, we're going to have to begin the turn.

01:02:46.000 The turn is possible, but it's going to take aggressive oversight.

01:02:52.000 It's probably going to take another executive leader like a Trump or a DeSantis or someone to come in and put some teeth in DOJ and SEC. 0.75

01:03:01.000 and the Federal Communications Administration to get after this in a way that will level the playing field.

01:03:07.000 You gotta change the culture in these industries, and that comes with the green, I think.

01:03:13.000 Money.

01:03:14.000 You gotta drain the swamp.

01:03:15.000 Yeah.

01:03:17.000 Yes.

01:03:17.000 But you look at what happens to Robbie Starbuck.

01:03:19.000 Did you hear about what happened to him in Tennessee?

01:03:21.000 No.

01:03:21.000 They kicked him off the primary.

01:03:22.000 The Republican Party did.

01:03:24.000 They said he wasn't a real Republican.

01:03:25.000 The dude is one of the most Republican Republicans there is.

01:03:28.000 That should be challenged in court because I think it's violating a number of laws.

01:03:34.000 I mean, constitutional requirements here to drop someone off running in the primary race there in Tennessee.

01:03:42.000 I read something about it.

01:03:43.000 I don't remember exactly what the story was, but it appeared that it's an overreach by the Republican Party there.

01:03:49.000 But it's the establishment going after the base of the party.

01:03:54.000 Yep.

01:03:55.000 If we're going to actually see any changes in November, if the Republican is going to win, there has to be a wave of populist America first type Republicans who win.

01:04:05.000 But if the Republican Party itself is rejecting these candidates and trying to keep them out, then why would I bother voting for a Republican?

01:04:13.000 Well, we have a lot of wins.

01:04:14.000 We've seen that in Michigan and other places.

01:04:17.000 And it looks like it's going to be good in Georgia and it's going to be good in North Carolina.

01:04:21.000 And I think we're not in too bad a place in places like Texas.

01:04:29.000 Maybe it would be fair for me to say that until the Republican Party itself, at the national level, comes down on Tennessee with an iron fist, weeding out the corruption, and condemning the actions in booting Robbie Starbuck off, we should advocate that everyone tells the Republican Party to go screw themselves.

01:04:46.000 I'm not going to vote.

01:04:47.000 I'm not voting for Republicans until they make that move and restore Robbie Starbuck.

01:04:51.000 Because I'm not going to be party to corruption. 0.99

01:04:53.000 If they want to play stupid, pathetic, dirty games, if the Republicans of West Virginia, of Maryland, at the national level, will not come out and condemn this, I'll tell you this, if they condemn it, I'm good. 0.99

01:05:04.000 Well, in Maryland, right here where we're at, the state Republican Party is trying to pressure county committees of the Republican Party to not support Dan Cox in the governor's race. 0.99

01:05:17.000 That's Governor Hogan trying to stack the deck in favor of his chosen successor against a real conservative who's been endorsed by President Trump.

01:05:31.000 Well, elaborate on this.

01:05:31.000 Tell us more about what's going on.

01:05:33.000 Well, what they're trying to do is influence every county.

01:05:38.000 Every county in Maryland has a committee of Republican leaders, and they are elected, and if there's a replacement needed, they're appointed, and it's approved by the governor.

01:05:50.000 They're trying, and they're very important in county politics, and they're pressuring them to not provide any support.

01:05:57.000 That means organizing help for the campaign at the grassroots level and disincentivizing people from doing that as individuals too.

01:06:08.000 And that could stack the deck. 0.85

01:06:10.000 Now I think the reaction is going to be in places like Garrett and Allegheny County and Washington County and others that are basically conservative in Trump territory.

01:06:18.000 It's not going to work at all.

01:06:21.000 You say that they're pressuring them.

01:06:23.000 What is an example of that kind of pressure?

01:06:26.000 Withholding support, denying them access.

01:06:30.000 They're not going to get the benefits of being part of the larger state operation.

01:06:34.000 Is that not blackmail?

01:06:36.000 Call it what you will.

01:06:37.000 It's politics.

01:06:38.000 It is politics.

01:06:39.000 The establishment, be it Republican or Democrat, are happy.

01:06:43.000 to see the Republicans fail and lose if it means populists, people like Trump and people who like

01:06:49.000 Trump don't win. So what's the solution? I don't know. I genuinely think, you know, do I think

01:06:56.000 that Lindsey Graham cares at all? No. He high-fived, he fist-bumped Kamala Harris. 0.99

01:07:01.000 He does not care.

01:07:02.000 He is a crony establishment shill.

01:07:04.000 We did it, Lindsey!

01:07:05.000 Yeah, so is Kevin McCarthy, so is Mitch McConnell. 0.98

01:07:08.000 They're all terrible.

01:07:09.000 The Republican Party is despised by so many people in this country, and it's sad because they're good. 0.97

01:07:14.000 There are more good Republicans than good Democrats, but the Republican Party is just run by pure corruption.

01:07:21.000 And the Democrats are too, don't get me wrong.

01:07:22.000 The Chamber of Commerce Republican elite, okay?

01:07:25.000 And I call it the Uniparty elite because there's not that much difference.

01:07:28.000 George Wallace once said there's not a dime worth of difference between the leadership of the Republican and Democratic Party.

01:07:33.000 That was back in 1968 or 72, something like that.

01:07:37.000 That's ancient history for most people, but that's what was said and it's more true today than back then, okay?

01:07:44.000 The Uniparty elite is sold out to China. 0.93

01:07:47.000 The Chamber of Commerce supports both of them.

01:07:51.000 Leadership in banks and venture capital, they give big money to victory funds for Republicans at the senior level.

01:08:00.000 They give the same kind of money to the Democrats because it's all about the green for them and feathering their nest.

01:08:08.000 Yeah, there's a, I quote it, I quote this every now and again on the show, but it's called Woods' Law from Tom Woods.

01:08:13.000 Whoever you vote for, you end up getting John McCain.

01:08:16.000 And it's true that in terms of the actual party platforms, yes, the parties are different.

01:08:21.000 I certainly don't agree that they're identical, but I completely agree with you that at the level of leadership, they're pretty much all in bed together.

01:08:26.000 Let's- I do want to at least talk about a reason why you should vote against Democrats.

01:08:31.000 Not that I think it's perfect to vote for Republicans, but we have this story from TimCast.com.

01:08:35.000 Amazon leadership held a session to discuss Matt Walsh's best-selling children's book, Johnny the Walrus, being problematic. 0.87

01:08:42.000 A customer said that it's teaching kids to kill and bully transgender people.

01:08:47.000 This is Matt Walsh's book. 0.99

01:08:49.000 This is Amazon being insane and going over the top. 1.00

01:08:53.000 Now, there's not much to say beyond this.

01:08:55.000 We know Amazon does this. 0.71

01:08:57.000 We know who they are.

01:08:58.000 My point is, the reason why I would like to vote for a Republican is to get rid of this stuff.

01:08:58.000 That's the news.

01:09:04.000 I want school boards to say, look, we don't want critical praxis in our schools.

01:09:09.000 What does the left say?

01:09:11.000 Republicans are banning math.

01:09:12.000 And this works because there are people who just watch CNN.

01:09:16.000 They believe it.

01:09:17.000 And then I'll respond and say, nobody banned math.

01:09:20.000 Well, what about Ron DeSantis banning math books?

01:09:22.000 He banned math books that were filled with critical praxis.

01:09:26.000 I don't want books banned.

01:09:27.000 I want curriculum of critical praxis and Christian praxis banned because kids should be taught 2 plus 2 equals 4. 0.99

01:09:34.000 Moving on.

01:09:35.000 If the kid says, I have a question about mommies and daddies, talk to your parents about it.

01:09:40.000 If the kid says, I have a question about my spirituality and my faith, talk to your parents about it.

01:09:45.000 Keep it out of the schools.

01:09:46.000 Praxis, the implementation of the ideology should be kept out.

01:09:50.000 If those are the rules we're playing by, I'm totally fine with it.

01:09:55.000 Amen, man.

01:09:56.000 Good story.

01:09:57.000 What we need is more candidates to step up and run for election that believe in the things that you believe, Tim.

01:10:06.000 That believe that CRT in the classroom is wrong.

01:10:09.000 We need more people running like the parents in Loudoun County who challenged the school board.

01:10:14.000 We need people to stand up, and we need people to show up to vote.

01:10:18.000 And that's how you take the party back, and that's how you bring real change.

01:10:22.000 It doesn't happen overnight.

01:10:24.000 It didn't happen overnight for Ronald Reagan, who first made the speech in 1964, in support of Barry Goldwater.

01:10:31.000 It took 20 years.

01:10:33.000 I have no issue if a school has a book on critical race theory in the school.

01:10:40.000 I have no problem if the school has a Bible in the school.

01:10:43.000 I have no problem if the teachers say, Look, I don't care.

01:10:45.000 We don't want to ban those books.

01:10:46.000 You can read it.

01:10:46.000 You can ask questions about it.

01:10:48.000 My issue is with what's called praxis.

01:10:50.000 In this instance, it's not critical race theory.

01:10:52.000 It's critical race applied principles or critical race praxis.

01:10:55.000 The left calls it critical race praxis, which is the implementation of the ideology in other subjects.

01:11:02.000 An example would be Writing a math problem that says Seamus is a white male who is stopped by police and frisked seven times per year.

01:11:11.000 Andre is a black man who is stopped 247 times per year.

01:11:14.000 What percentage of stops are... So it's supposed to be a math problem, but they inject critical race theory into it, and that's the praxis.

01:11:20.000 Now, we call it critical race applied principles because that spells crap, and we don't want crap in our schools. 0.97

01:11:26.000 But no, in all seriousness, the left doesn't call it Critical Race Praxis, which is already CRP, which is Crap Basic. 0.99

01:11:32.000 Well, race has an R-A in it, so you could just call it crap as well. 0.97

01:11:35.000 Well, it's just funny how pedantic we have to get about distinguishing between these different forms of left-wing thought, which are near identical as conservatives, when they just say everyone who disagrees with them is a Nazi, and that's the one label that they use. 0.98

01:11:49.000 Well, the problem, I think, is they lie all the time.

01:11:53.000 Yeah.

01:11:54.000 And it works.

01:11:54.000 Yeah, look at this story.

01:11:55.000 They then lie about—Taylor Laurent is a great example.

01:11:58.000 She went on CNN and said, the right-wing media lies.

01:12:01.000 And it's fascinating because That's projection.

01:12:04.000 That's always projection on their part.

01:12:05.000 It's Darvo, right?

01:12:07.000 Deny, you know, attack, reverse, victim and offender.

01:12:10.000 It's them who's lying.

01:12:11.000 You can only trust me.

01:12:12.000 It's people like Brian Stelter who tells you not to watch Fox News.

01:12:16.000 Mika Brzezinski is guilty of that too.

01:12:18.000 Right.

01:12:18.000 Explaining that it's her job to tell you what to think.

01:12:20.000 Well, that's our job.

01:12:21.000 And then they denied it later.

01:12:22.000 And then Snopes comes out and says, that's not true.

01:12:23.000 It never happened.

01:12:24.000 Or Joe Biden reaching out to shake the hand of somebody that's not there.

01:12:28.000 And then Snopes comes out and says, he never did it.

01:12:31.000 Or was it Snopes?

01:12:32.000 I think it was Snopes.

01:12:33.000 He never actually did it.

01:12:35.000 And it's like, dude, you're fact checking an opinion with your own opinion.

01:12:39.000 You're just lying.

01:12:41.000 That's what they do.

01:12:41.000 It's the game they play.

01:12:42.000 And then they come up with something like the 1619 Project, the New York Times, and they infuse our schools with it, which is an ideologically driven fabrication of American history, especially the founding.

01:12:54.000 The founding fathers, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, was opposed to slavery.

01:13:01.000 Only two states.

01:13:03.000 That's right.

01:13:03.000 And the Declaration really did mean all men are created equal.

01:13:09.000 Two states opposed it.

01:13:10.000 Georgia and South Carolina.

01:13:13.000 You had to compromise at that time.

01:13:15.000 The history really tells you that it really wasn't based upon slavery or racism, that there was really a movement to move beyond that and oppose slavery.

01:13:25.000 One of the original grievances in the Declaration of Independence was that the king had taken people from their homeland, brought them there against their will, and was using them to wage war against them.

01:13:36.000 Jefferson took that out because the southern states that were pro-slavery would not sign on so long as the other colonists and leaders opposed slavery.

01:13:46.000 Now, they had slaves.

01:13:48.000 And it was bad.

01:13:48.000 A lot of bad things happened.

01:13:50.000 Many countries still have slaves.

01:13:52.000 It's really, really bad.

01:13:53.000 But that, I think, I don't know if that was the biggest mistake made, but it was a big mistake because that divide That compromise?

01:14:02.000 It didn't end there.

01:14:04.000 That tacit agreement of, look, we'll overlook this for now so we can win a revolution.

01:14:09.000 And then 80 years later, we're in civil war.

01:14:12.000 And now, you know, and then 80 years after that, well, World War II, but well, that's not domestic.

01:14:17.000 You ended up with Jim Crow laws.

01:14:18.000 You ended up with the Klan.

01:14:19.000 You ended up with this conflict that was just seemingly never-ending.

01:14:24.000 And if you look back at everything we're dealing with today, it's all rooted going all the way back to even before this.

01:14:30.000 The problem is, They need you to believe that the Founding Fathers were evil so that they can justify destroying American culture because from the ashes of the old, they will build a new.

01:14:40.000 Correct.

01:14:40.000 They want a completely different system.

01:14:42.000 What they want is a multicultural democracy.

01:14:45.000 People need to understand when Elizabeth Warren comes out and says, this is dangerous for our democracy, and these Democrats say this, they are not referring to your country because you Good sir watching this show believe in a constitutional republic, not a democracy.

01:14:58.000 And conservatives say, you're wrong!

01:15:00.000 We're not a democracy, we're a constitutional republic!

01:15:03.000 No, you don't.

01:15:03.000 You misunderstand.

01:15:04.000 They are telling you that there is a new multicultural democracy growing in the United States.

01:15:10.000 They're not making mistakes about it.

01:15:12.000 And they're going after the symbolism.

01:15:13.000 They want to invalidate the 4th of July.

01:15:17.000 They want to deny its value.

01:15:19.000 And they want to move to a June 19th type of celebration that will overshadow the July 4th celebration.

01:15:26.000 I do think it's odd that we celebrate the introductions to war so often, like Pearl Harbor, July 4th, what other days got us into war that we celebrate?

01:15:35.000 I don't know, but... 9-11?

01:15:37.000 9-11 was another one.

01:15:38.000 But not celebrate.

01:15:39.000 Well, you could say... We observe.

01:15:41.000 We observe and or celebrate.

01:15:42.000 The 4th of July is definitely a celebration.

01:15:44.000 Why don't we celebrate the day that the war ended?

01:15:46.000 Good point, but July 4th... Veterans Day, right?

01:15:49.000 Veterans Day is the only example I could find, and they changed the name from Armistice Day, celebrating the end of the war, to Veterans Day, celebrating the warriors themselves.

01:15:56.000 But by the way, we were at war for a year before the Declaration of Independence.

01:16:00.000 Technically way longer than that.

01:16:02.000 So the American War for Independence took 20 years.

01:16:07.000 And a lot of these moments, I mean, they were going back 10 or so 20 years before, I think 10 or so years before the signing of the Declaration.

01:16:14.000 So the British regulars shooting people, the conflict, the confiscations, all that was going on.

01:16:19.000 It just wasn't at the point of people marching towards each other.

01:16:23.000 I think that they celebrate the inductions into war because it's war propaganda.

01:16:26.000 They use it like, remember that we're the victim and we had to fight.

01:16:30.000 I don't know.

01:16:30.000 That's how I, that's how I'm phrasing it.

01:16:32.000 So maybe, I don't know, what's up with the June, the June 19th thing that you were talking about?

01:16:36.000 What is that exactly?

01:16:37.000 That was the day that Union soldiers made it to the last place in the country in Texas.

01:16:43.000 I think it was Gal, was it Galveston?

01:16:45.000 Yeah.

01:16:45.000 Where the last slaves had not been informed they were free men and finally ended slavery.

01:16:50.000 Okay.

01:16:50.000 So it's worth celebrating as an end of slavery kind of thing.

01:16:54.000 I don't think it has anything to do with July 4th though.

01:16:56.000 I don't know why those two would be in the same conversation.

01:16:58.000 I think Juneteenth is cool.

01:17:00.000 I think we get a holiday in June to have barbecue and celebrate freedom and independence.

01:17:05.000 I'm totally for it.

01:17:06.000 Slavery was abhorrent and it took that long to get rid of it.

01:17:09.000 I say we do another holiday and we celebrate the end of slavery, the real end of slavery, and we also have the 4th of July.

01:17:15.000 When our Founding Fathers set forth a new nation that was one of the first at the time to challenge these monarchs, these absolute authorities, and say, of, for, and by the people.

01:17:25.000 Was it perfect?

01:17:26.000 No.

01:17:27.000 But it planted these seeds.

01:17:28.000 And of the seeds planted, we were blessed with people like Frederick Douglass.

01:17:33.000 who challenged the American people to uphold the words that they themselves had put in their own constitution about all men being created equal, which ultimately led to the abolition of slavery.

01:17:43.000 And many other countries retained slavery and still have slavery to this day.

01:17:46.000 Slavery was bad.

01:17:47.000 The 4th of July, Declaration of Independence, the Constitution are all good things.

01:17:51.000 Juneteenth is also a good thing. 0.99

01:17:53.000 I will take two holidays.

01:17:55.000 Absolutely.

01:17:56.000 But also, for whatever reason, we are a nation which doesn't want to celebrate the fact that we ended slavery.

01:18:00.000 We want to scold ourselves for the fact that it ever happened, even though virtually every culture throughout all of history has had some form of it and we ended it.

01:18:07.000 Well, it's a political cudgel, but the Democrats wield it all the time. 0.51

01:18:11.000 But if you go back and, you know, Louie Gohmert did a good monologue on that on the House floor about the history of the Democratic Party and slavery.

01:18:21.000 They were the South in the Civil War.

01:18:24.000 They were Jim Crow. 0.98

01:18:26.000 They were the KKK.

01:18:28.000 They reinstituted segregation under Woodrow Wilson.

01:18:33.000 Segregated the government and the army again.

01:18:37.000 So, you know, the Democratic Party acts as though they are the defenders of freedom and of the

01:18:44.000 slaves but they were the ones behind it for most of the American history. And they're also the

01:18:49.000 party that just tried to repeal the civil rights provisions from the California constitution

01:18:53.000 only a couple years ago. Yeah it's I was thinking about this the other day.

01:18:56.000 They also argue that there was a party switch, and so the Democratic Party can't be held accountable or looked upon negatively for the fact that they supported slavery, they supported Jim Crow, etc.

01:19:08.000 And yet, when you look at the nation as a whole, everyone is to blame, right?

01:19:13.000 Basically, all white Americans are to blame, to some extent, for slavery.

01:19:17.000 Even though it ended, the history of it still remains.

01:19:21.000 But then when you talk about the Democratic Party, Oh well, the legacy of that just disappeared instantly, right?

01:19:27.000 The party switched and then the legacy of slavery and racism within the Democratic Party just vanished overnight. 0.95

01:19:31.000 Not in the country as a whole, just in like the pocket where it's convenient for us to say it disappeared, even though studies show that white liberals dumb their language down when they talk to black people.

01:19:40.000 It was actually this one moment Where every single Democrat, like a strike of lightning, just went, I was wrong!

01:19:48.000 And the whole country changed.

01:19:50.000 And every Republican was hit.

01:19:52.000 At once.

01:19:53.000 Conversely, by that same lightning.

01:19:57.000 Oh, no!

01:19:58.000 They've sent their racism to us!

01:20:00.000 No, they wouldn't say, oh, no.

01:20:01.000 They would go, oh, yes!

01:20:05.000 Well, let's talk about what's going on here in Washington County.

01:20:08.000 So for those that aren't familiar, we are in Western Maryland, and I live in West Virginia, officially.

01:20:15.000 but we work out of Western Maryland and I I don't think we'll be doing that much longer because I

01:20:21.000 think that the policies of the state are insane and what you

01:20:24.000 often see is Leftists not understanding how taxes work not understanding

01:20:29.000 how businesses work We just actually is a really great tweet

01:20:33.000 David Hogg.

01:20:34.000 You know the guy from Parkland?

01:20:36.000 You see this tweet?

01:20:37.000 He tweeted, it's too difficult to form an LLC. 0.96

01:20:40.000 This is ridiculous. 0.54

01:20:41.000 There's too many regulations. 0.96

01:20:42.000 And people were like, accidental conservative moment.

01:20:45.000 No, it's a young kid who did not realize how difficult it is.

01:20:50.000 Often.

01:20:51.000 Now, when you get old, you get experienced.

01:20:52.000 It's actually relatively easy.

01:20:54.000 But I'll tell you the challenges.

01:20:56.000 The first formation of a company I did was confusing and very difficult because we didn't... Imagine someone walks up to you and they hand you five bowling pins and say, juggle.

01:21:05.000 You'll be like, okay, I can't do that.

01:21:07.000 And they're like, figure it out.

01:21:09.000 Take you a long time to figure it out.

01:21:11.000 Once you get the hang of it, you can mix it up and you're juggling like, I know how to do this.

01:21:15.000 Yeah, where I'm at now with this company, it's really easy to start companies and work with it, but I have a team, we have accountants, we have lawyers.

01:21:21.000 For a regular person, it's so difficult.

01:21:23.000 And so what we end up seeing with many people on the left is they don't start companies.

01:21:26.000 So they have no idea what's going on.

01:21:28.000 No, they go to government.

01:21:29.000 And then the government passes laws, like, how do we increase tax revenue?

01:21:33.000 I know, increase taxes.

01:21:35.000 Well, I'll tell you what the result of that is.

01:21:36.000 We're leaving.

01:21:37.000 Yeah.

01:21:38.000 We're moving our headquarters over.

01:21:39.000 We've been building Freedomistan for a few months.

01:21:41.000 We already have many employees who are already reporting out of there.

01:21:45.000 And we're going to move everything to West Virginia because we're 10 minutes away.

01:21:49.000 Because it's almost heaven.

01:21:50.000 Yeah, basically.

01:21:52.000 Is that the slogan or something?

01:21:53.000 That's John Denver.

01:21:53.000 That's some John Denver song, yeah.

01:21:56.000 But no, I think it's funny.

01:21:57.000 Every time someone on the left tries to do something even remotely productive, they end up dropping some kind of conservative take about it.

01:22:04.000 It's like, yeah man, it's really hard to start this company.

01:22:06.000 It's like, oh my goodness, she did something in the real world.

01:22:08.000 Now he has a conservative opinion.

01:22:09.000 How interesting!

01:22:11.000 This is interesting.

01:22:12.000 Jen Perlman, who we've had on the show, who is a progressive Democrat, was tweeting about billionaires paying their fair share.

01:22:20.000 And I said, how much do you think is fair?

01:22:23.000 Is 55% a fair share?

01:22:24.000 And Jen responded that perhaps 25 to 30% if you get rid of the loopholes was a fair share.

01:22:31.000 And so I said, are you saying you would want to reduce the tax burden on billionaires if you could close the loopholes?

01:22:37.000 And they said, yeah, I think so.

01:22:38.000 And I'm like, I don't know if I agree with that completely, but that's an interesting take.

01:22:43.000 I also wonder if they really understand what loopholes mean.

01:22:48.000 I don't think they do.

01:22:48.000 No.

01:22:49.000 Because I don't think they would be arguing for that if they understood what a tax loophole really was.

01:22:53.000 Well, a lot of the tax loopholes, what they call loopholes, are built in to incentivize businesses, investors, entrepreneurs, to do things that the government wants them to do.

01:23:05.000 To get them involved in economic zones in underprivileged areas, low-income areas.

01:23:12.000 It's about trying to bring in high-tech businesses and give them a tax break.

01:23:17.000 In an area like Washington County, so you get high-tech companies coming in instead of low-paying warehouse jobs.

01:23:26.000 Why would they call that a loophole and not a tax break incentive?

01:23:30.000 Because they don't actually want people to be incentivized to do good things.

01:23:33.000 They just want to punish anyone who's more successful than them.

01:23:35.000 No, it's because, look, I think most of them never ran a business.

01:23:38.000 Yep.

01:23:39.000 They don't pay business taxes.

01:23:41.000 In their mind, they were told evil billionaires aren't paying their fair share.

01:23:45.000 Yes.

01:23:45.000 The problem I have with that is I'm like, look, I'm with Steve, with, uh, with Bannon on this one.

01:23:50.000 Tax the rich.

01:23:51.000 However, I don't think giving the government, like the idea in and of itself, but government's not going to do a good job with it.

01:23:58.000 So I don't know how I ultimately feel with the end results of that.

01:24:01.000 But the issue is they don't actually have a definition of what fair means.

01:24:05.000 Yeah, fair share rhymes.

01:24:06.000 It's catchy.

01:24:07.000 It's a rhetoric.

01:24:07.000 It doesn't mean anything.

01:24:09.000 That's why I said it's 55% fair.

01:24:11.000 You're not going to get a straight answer.

01:24:13.000 Welcome to Earth, dude.

01:24:14.000 Fairness.

01:24:15.000 Come on.

01:24:16.000 But when you look at, say, the income tax, 50% of people that earn income do not pay an income tax.

01:24:25.000 Right.

01:24:25.000 And the top 1% Pay a tremendous, I don't know what the number is, but it's an overwhelming amount.

01:24:31.000 So if you actually break down the tax burden by bracket, most people receive more benefits from taxes than they pay into it.

01:24:42.000 Most people, even up to like a hundred or two hundred K per year.

01:24:45.000 It's only after that people start actually paying taxes, and it's overwhelmingly the 1% and the billionaires who are paying the taxes that fund the benefits for all of the poor.

01:24:53.000 I like that.

01:24:54.000 I have no problem with that.

01:24:56.000 I have a problem with the government being unaccountable, with being bloated and corrupt.

01:25:00.000 The idea that rich people are, you know, we pay a percentage in taxes and that goes to helping poorer people have cleaner water or roads.

01:25:09.000 I like it.

01:25:09.000 You know, we're only as strong as our weakest link, but we don't have that.

01:25:13.000 We've got a broken tax system.

01:25:14.000 We've got leftists who don't understand it, who are being manipulated, then impose tax laws, which hurt their own states.

01:25:20.000 And we have bloated government that siphons money off for BS reasons, like gender, Pakistani gender studies. 1.00

01:25:25.000 Corporations that are considered multinational that bounce from country to country depending on the tax levels.

01:25:30.000 They have bank accounts in Panama.

01:25:32.000 The Panama Papers breaks and shows all these people have like they're hoarding their wealth offshore.

01:25:37.000 This is the real life reality.

01:25:39.000 So how do you deal with that?

01:25:41.000 Corporations aren't going to sit around and pay you exorbitant taxes.

01:25:43.000 They're just going to move their money offshore.

01:25:45.000 Can I give you an example?

01:25:46.000 I've been campaigning and I've been going door to door.

01:25:48.000 I'm trying to hit 200 to 250 homes every day, talking to people that are paying taxes, older people in their homes, younger people just getting started with young kids.

01:26:00.000 And in Washington County, we have a tremendous surplus.

01:26:04.000 The amount might be 40, 50 million dollars in excess revenue.

01:26:10.000 They're talking about a $3 million property tax cut for the whole county.

01:26:14.000 That will amount to about $50 for an average family making $50,000 a year living in a moderate-priced home of about $180,000.

01:26:25.000 $50 total rebate.

01:26:27.000 The assessments in this county, we get reassessed.

01:26:31.000 One-third of the houses get reassessed every year.

01:26:35.000 The assessments are going up, so it's going to be almost $100 a month more for that average house.

01:26:41.000 So we're giving $50 back, but we're taking $1,150 from them.

01:26:48.000 That's driving elder people out of their homes. 0.98

01:26:51.000 They're a part of the fabric of the community.

01:26:53.000 We want the grandparents and the elderly to be there, because they're part of that community.

01:26:57.000 They're important.

01:26:58.000 But they're having to leave for West Virginia, for Pennsylvania, or go to Florida. 0.98

01:27:02.000 So Maryland is a ridiculous state and the taxes are so insane. 0.77

01:27:08.000 West Virginia is literally, you know, we could drive a half an hour and we're at our new headquarters. 0.95

01:27:16.000 Is that half an hour drive, is it worth losing hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars? 0.90

01:27:23.000 Well, that's ridiculous.

01:27:24.000 So Maryland It doesn't seem to understand that.

01:27:28.000 You know, I understand maybe for like a brick and mortar business, but the nature of our business and the growth we're having, we have no choice but to leave the state.

01:27:36.000 And that means Maryland will end up losing tax revenue instead of just saying we will compete for your business with West Virginia.

01:27:43.000 You could have something where certain areas of Maryland have a certain tax rate, but the further west you go, it starts to go down, so it becomes a little more like the neighboring states.

01:27:53.000 The way it works is, if you're a resident of West Virginia and you work in Maryland, they charge you an additional tax.

01:27:53.000 They do the opposite.

01:28:02.000 Instead of saying, thank you for bringing your business here, they say, we're going to punish you for bringing your business here.

01:28:08.000 Yeah, well, and people don't really understand that this is a matter of incentives.

01:28:11.000 Like you said, that's what it is.

01:28:12.000 It's a punishment.

01:28:13.000 Of course, Know Nothings look at that and go, hey, they're raising money for our budget.

01:28:17.000 I've discussed and broken down the Laffer Curve on this show before.

01:28:21.000 A lot of lefties who don't know anything about economics, which is to say most lefties, will actually tell you the Laffer Curve doesn't exist.

01:28:27.000 That's not true.

01:28:28.000 No left-wing economist even says that.

01:28:30.000 The disagreement is just over where the parabola peaks.

01:28:32.000 I just think it's a tremendous oversight for there to be a tri-state area between Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia, and Maryland's like, we're going to make it more expensive.

01:28:37.000 if they're really crazy. But ultimately people are not going to work for money when they can't

01:28:43.000 keep as much of it. It's really basic stuff. I just think it's a tremendous oversight for there

01:28:50.000 to be a tri-state area between Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia. And Maryland's like, we're going

01:28:54.000 to make it more expensive. So everyone's like, why would I be in Maryland? Well, that's similar

01:28:59.000 Illinois is surrounded by red states, lower taxes, higher productivity, more economic growth, and Illinois is losing population.

01:29:08.000 The taxes go up because the more people that leave, the more the producers leave, the more those left behind have to pay to support the gargantuan government apparatus that's in place.

01:29:19.000 Grassroots atlas shrugged.

01:29:21.000 Well, you know, we see evidence of this kind of thing in the real world, too.

01:29:24.000 So, despite all of the lies the media said to convince people otherwise, after the Trump tax cuts, we saw a revenue increase.

01:29:32.000 Our deficit increased as well, because increased spending outpaced the increase in revenue.

01:29:38.000 But the left used the fact that the deficit increased to argue that we lost revenue.

01:29:43.000 It actually wasn't the case.

01:29:45.000 They were just lying about it.

01:29:47.000 But when you tax people less, they have more incentive to work and they generate more wealth for the economy.

01:29:53.000 And then take a look.

01:29:54.000 It's not just your income tax.

01:29:57.000 It's not just your property tax.

01:29:59.000 It's the higher gasoline tax.

01:30:03.000 It's the higher sales tax.

01:30:05.000 It's the fees that they pay us on cable, DirecTV.

01:30:10.000 The water costs more.

01:30:12.000 All these things are passed on, okay?

01:30:15.000 More so here than in West Virginia.

01:30:18.000 Well, and they know this.

01:30:19.000 It's interesting.

01:30:20.000 They know this because when it comes to taxing cigarettes or alcohol or even gasoline, it's understood that there's an agenda there.

01:30:26.000 And the agenda is we want people to use less of this.

01:30:30.000 So they're willing to recognize when it's convenient for them that when you increase taxes on something, you end up with a less productive market there.

01:30:36.000 You're not able to sell as much of it.

01:30:38.000 And yet when it comes to human labor, they're completely blind to it.

01:30:41.000 You know what else is interesting?

01:30:42.000 This crypto stuff.

01:30:43.000 They didn't start taxing it till like 2018, I think.

01:30:47.000 And so basically there's like another $700 billion in the economy that maybe isn't accounted for right now.

01:30:53.000 That untaxed just wealth was just created out of nothing.

01:30:56.000 Considering the mass printing of money, the explosion in the money supply, I'm not sure if $700 billion has put a dent in it.

01:30:56.000 So that's true.

01:31:04.000 Yeah, right.

01:31:05.000 It's up to $2 trillion in crypto value thereabouts.

01:31:08.000 It fluctuates.

01:31:09.000 West Virginia's got constitutional carry.

01:31:11.000 Hmm.

01:31:13.000 There you go.

01:31:14.000 It's just Western Maryland.

01:31:16.000 I guess the way the states have structured themselves, they can't adapt properly fast enough.

01:31:23.000 I don't know.

01:31:24.000 It just seems ridiculous to me that the current system is too sluggish to realize the Western Maryland system.

01:31:31.000 They're going to be losing prominent industry.

01:31:34.000 Why did they not make it so you could pay taxes online when you were at the White House?

01:31:38.000 I don't know if you were involved with the economic stuff at all, but like... It's an act of Congress.

01:31:41.000 Like, why would they not focus on streamlining that process?

01:31:44.000 So you can go in, click a few buttons, have your payment go direct from your bank account.

01:31:48.000 Instead, they make you, like, file all this paperwork and search for things and go to this, and then they can't, and then it's like, I gotta pay them in mail.

01:31:54.000 Well, that's, that's, that's, that's like, yo, 21st century.

01:31:56.000 It's totally different.

01:31:57.000 Talking about their incompetence and sluggishness to adapt.

01:31:59.000 No, no, no.

01:32:00.000 This is lobbying.

01:32:01.000 There's big companies that make billions of dollars off of tax filing preparation.

01:32:04.000 Well, here's a question I have for you.

01:32:07.000 I took two months with Facebook to try and get validated to have a campaign page.

01:32:12.000 It took me two months.

01:32:13.000 And they even used snail mail in the process, which slowed the whole thing down.

01:32:18.000 I sold my house from the time I called the internet company, Open Door, until I got a check in the mail.

01:32:24.000 It took me 13 days.

01:32:25.000 I never saw a person.

01:32:27.000 Yet, Facebook, a modern company, Two months to validate me as a person.

01:32:33.000 To be able to run political ads.

01:32:35.000 Yup.

01:32:36.000 Bureaucracy?

01:32:38.000 Is it too big?

01:32:39.000 The American government has too many people working there?

01:32:42.000 Yes.

01:32:43.000 Nothing ever gets smaller.

01:32:45.000 No programs ever die.

01:32:46.000 Nope.

01:32:47.000 Exactly.

01:32:48.000 It's a bloat.

01:32:49.000 They've got to know that if you hang on to a dying system and you refuse to shred it apart, it's going to get overthrown.

01:32:56.000 That's the inevitable.

01:32:57.000 If you look at history from thousands and thousands of years in the past, that's what happens with societies if you refuse to reform.

01:33:03.000 But what happens is, as the culture starts to decay and break down, Many people recognize we need a reform or it's going to fall apart.

01:33:11.000 And once that happens, people say, well, I can't count on you, so I better grab as much silverware as possible as this ship sinks.

01:33:17.000 And that's what's happening right now.

01:33:20.000 We've gone through things like reinventing government.

01:33:23.000 Okay.

01:33:24.000 That was a big thing, I think, in the Clinton years.

01:33:27.000 We had George Bush reinvent and redesign the whole intelligence community, 16 agencies, and develop the Department of National Intelligence.

01:33:37.000 It didn't solve anything, really.

01:33:39.000 It just created another layer of bureaucracy, more jobs, more elite, but it's not any better.

01:33:46.000 Did you guys consider defaulting on the interests of the Federal Reserve?

01:33:49.000 I wasn't involved in that.

01:33:50.000 That would have been Mr. Muenchen and others.

01:33:54.000 But let's ask the audience.

01:33:56.000 Did you ever consider defaulting on the debt to the Federal Reserve?

01:34:00.000 Just the interest.

01:34:01.000 Just the interest.

01:34:01.000 So get those superchats in.

01:34:03.000 We're going to read your comments.

01:34:04.000 Smash the like button if you haven't already.

01:34:05.000 Head over to timcast.com.

01:34:07.000 Become a member.

01:34:08.000 We're going to have a members-only segment coming up around 11 p.m.

01:34:11.000 By the way, I want to say it wasn't a superchat, but I glanced over at the right moment and noticed that someone in chat said, interesting that the guy with the Irish flag behind him just commented on alcohol taxes.

01:34:11.000 Seamus?

01:34:20.000 That's right, that's right.

01:34:21.000 All right, let's read some superchats.

01:34:23.000 We got Andre who says, something definitely changed in Twitter's algorithm.

01:34:27.000 All of a sudden, I'm getting hundreds of likes on my comments, many replies.

01:34:31.000 I'm pretty sure I didn't become super witty overnight.

01:34:33.000 You see, this is what I'm saying.

01:34:35.000 It's not just follower count.

01:34:37.000 All of a sudden, people are getting crazy engagement.

01:34:39.000 Yeah, I have my tweet from yesterday has more than double the likes of any other tweet I've ever put out.

01:34:44.000 You were unj- Listen, Ian, do you think conservatives like you?

01:34:48.000 I think everybody likes me.

01:34:50.000 No, but I mean, like, obviously they're critical of you, you know?

01:34:53.000 Probably, yeah.

01:34:54.000 People are critical of me in general.

01:34:55.000 But does it make sense that the people, like, you'll get a mixed reaction sometimes.

01:35:00.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:35:00.000 You'll get ones or twenties.

01:35:01.000 Does it make sense that all of a sudden everyone just agreed with you and liked your stuff?

01:35:04.000 No, this is completely anomalous.

01:35:06.000 I'm not, I don't know.

01:35:07.000 I mean, it was a great tweet.

01:35:08.000 Don't get me wrong.

01:35:09.000 When we win a battle, I do not celebrate.

01:35:11.000 I focus on how to win the next battle.

01:35:13.000 Do girls you're meeting in bars now like you?

01:35:15.000 That's probably what all my old girlfriends are finally liking my stuff.

01:35:20.000 Alright, we got Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:35:22.000 says, just because.

01:35:23.000 More fight back.

01:35:25.000 Thank you very much.

01:35:26.000 Morik says, do a Vosh vs. Alex Jones debate on free speech, trans, and culture war.

01:35:31.000 No matter the harm to my eardrums, I will subscribe years to listen to that.

01:35:36.000 Thank you, Elon.

01:35:37.000 Twitter is now a better place.

01:35:39.000 Well, Vaush has the very calm and slow talk.

01:35:43.000 Well, Alex, you need to understand that you can't make that argument.

01:35:46.000 And Alex would be screaming, you know.

01:35:50.000 He's a lot to say.

01:35:50.000 Maybe, but look, as much as I can say, Vosh is one of the few leftists who will come on the show

01:35:56.000 and people have a lot to criticize him over, especially with the kids and the

01:35:59.000 grooming stuff.

01:36:00.000 Uh, I'd like to have a different leftist come on and debate somebody,

01:36:04.000 but they don't want to do it.

01:36:05.000 Uh, Matt Bender said he was going to email us.

01:36:08.000 Did he?

01:36:08.000 Nope.

01:36:10.000 Because I told him to email me and you.

01:36:12.000 He didn't do it.

01:36:12.000 No, I haven't seen it.

01:36:13.000 We invited him on the show.

01:36:14.000 It's funny, I invited him on the show last time and he was like, whatever happened to that?

01:36:17.000 And I was like, bro, you can come on the show.

01:36:18.000 Like, we'd love to have a left podcaster.

01:36:21.000 B-I-N-D-E-R. 1.00

01:36:22.000 B-I-N-D-E-R. 1.00

01:36:24.000 And he didn't get anything from them and it's been like a week or whatever.

01:36:27.000 So, you know, I'm not surprised.

01:36:30.000 All right, let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:36:33.000 Lightgiver says Brussels has warned Musk that Twitter must comply with European's new digital rules or face fines or ban.

01:36:42.000 Yes, I'm pretty sure Elon Musk is going to adhere to these rules.

01:36:45.000 I don't think Elon Musk is going to walk in and be like, OK, everybody, anyone can post anything right now.

01:36:49.000 Just do it.

01:36:50.000 I kind of disagree.

01:36:51.000 I think he's going to say whatever is legal in the United States is legal on Twitter and whatever is legal in whatever state they're incorporated in, which is California at the moment, is now state laws.

01:37:00.000 You've got to adhere to state law.

01:37:01.000 Maybe they'll move the corporation to a better state that has better local laws.

01:37:05.000 Ian, let me ask you something.

01:37:06.000 What is the challenge associated with that?

01:37:07.000 Because yesterday on the show, you said it would be difficult to create a policy.

01:37:11.000 And you're mentioning the First Amendment now.

01:37:14.000 Is there some reason the First Amendment will be more difficult to implement than the policies they have now?

01:37:17.000 I'm curious what the pitfalls are as someone who's worked with a social media company before.

01:37:21.000 One of the main ones is that countries like Brussels will just not host Twitter now.

01:37:25.000 Like China, it won't be, like Mines isn't in China, you know, they won't host it because it's a free speech policy.

01:37:30.000 But another downside with having a one when I call it authoritarian when it's a corporation because they're just inherently authoritarian by nature But when you have one authoritarian at the top whether it's Elon Musk or any any corporate owner They can tell you it's free speech, but then completely just block everything in the next day.

01:37:44.000 They don't have to like it here There's no laws, you know, that's the problem with saying your terms of service are free speech.

01:37:49.000 There's no Constitution that upholds that it's the the will of the the corporate overlord and So you need to go outside of terms of service to really instantiate, I love that word, third time we've said it tonight, free speech.

01:38:01.000 It's got to be enshrined in the code itself that there is some way to take control of the network on your own if you're not happy with the way other people are running it and build your own.

01:38:10.000 But Brussels is not for free speech.

01:38:12.000 Then they can do that on their own, in my opinion, but I don't think that we should allow countries that are not for free speech to dictate how we run ours.

01:38:21.000 Yeah, I think what'll happen is Elon's gonna say, okay, in the United States we have free speech, in Europe you don't.

01:38:27.000 And then people will use VPNs to get to the website anyway, or they'll move to the United States to get out of their totalitarian countries, their old monarchies.

01:38:35.000 VPNs.

01:38:35.000 People are gonna start downloading virtual shields.

01:38:37.000 Yeah.

01:38:38.000 I wonder how many people are using a VPN to watch this show tonight from China.

01:38:41.000 What's up, dudes?

01:38:41.000 Well, yeah, maybe.

01:38:43.000 Jesus Crisp says, Timcast, Daily Wire, and The Blaze are triumvirate of truth.

01:38:50.000 Oh, yes.

01:38:51.000 I mean, there's other people involved in there, isn't there?

01:38:52.000 I love this person.

01:38:53.000 Yeah, what about Joe Rogan?

01:38:57.000 All right, let's see.

01:38:58.000 KatothSwiss says, but Taylor needs those sweet, sweet victim points, Tim. 0.99

01:39:02.000 Yeah, I know.

01:39:02.000 It worked out for her.

01:39:03.000 We got the, hey, Tim Pool's fighting back and she got the, oh, hell, I'm a victim. 0.95

01:39:07.000 Everybody wins, right?

01:39:08.000 That's the culture war.

01:39:10.000 I just, I'm sick of the lies.

01:39:12.000 So, you know, sending a message where it's like, you want to wield institutional power, that is the Washington Post.

01:39:17.000 I'll wield institutional power that is a Times Square billboard.

01:39:20.000 Shout out to the Daily Wire for the assistance.

01:39:23.000 All right.

01:39:24.000 The Senate says, and it's a picture of Palpatine, hey, Tim, you should buy another billboard and talk about Biden's crooked dealings.

01:39:30.000 Here's some cash to get you started.

01:39:32.000 You can't!

01:39:33.000 Political ads are not allowed in most of the Times Square billboards, so you can't do it.

01:39:37.000 Maybe it's not a political ad.

01:39:38.000 Maybe it's just an advertisement for meeting with the big guy.

01:39:40.000 Oh, yeah.

01:39:42.000 That is an interesting challenge, though.

01:39:44.000 When Donald Trump was looking into what Biden was doing, they said it was political, but Biden hadn't even announced that he was running for office.

01:39:50.000 He was retired at that point.

01:39:52.000 Yeah, what's that same standard?

01:39:53.000 But this is what will happen.

01:39:54.000 If you go and say, look, I just want to talk about what Joe Biden did,

01:39:57.000 the back it's political because he's a politician.

01:39:59.000 Yeah, but I'm not talking about anything policy wise.

01:40:01.000 I'm talking about criminal activity.

01:40:02.000 I don't like that they call Obama President Obama now that he's not president anymore.

01:40:06.000 There's like this weird.

01:40:08.000 What does that have to do with what I was talking about?

01:40:10.000 Like you're saying, he's once in politics, always in politics, and you can't go after him anymore.

01:40:13.000 Like Biden, now that he was vice president, they're like, hello, Mr. Vice President, even when he's out of office.

01:40:17.000 Like, it's some weird tradition that we refer to old presidents as President Bush or President Obama when they're not president anymore.

01:40:24.000 I don't think the titles of the individual is what matters.

01:40:26.000 What matters is they will make up an excuse to block you from trying to call them out.

01:40:29.000 They're acting as if he's still political.

01:40:31.000 I just want to say, you know, Ian, some people are still calling Biden vice president.

01:40:34.000 Including Obama, I think.

01:40:36.000 Or no, Biden himself.

01:40:39.000 Um, but no, what an absurd idea, right?

01:40:41.000 If someone's a political figure, you can't investigate them for a crime or that's political.

01:40:45.000 Unless, of course, it's Donald Trump or Marjorie Taylor Greene, then it's a fair game.

01:40:50.000 Alright, we got this one from JL who says, My kidneys are shutting down and I'm stuck in a hospital bed.

01:40:54.000 Can someone please take over the Ian Shaftkam meme for me, please?

01:40:59.000 Get healthy, sir.

01:41:00.000 Get healthy.

01:41:02.000 All right.

01:41:03.000 G Money says, Tim and Ian, check your DMs.

01:41:04.000 I just made a remix of the beautiful Chicken City acapella Tim posted.

01:41:08.000 It's, was it Twitter 5420?

01:41:11.000 So I posted an isolated vocal track.

01:41:13.000 We were recording the Chicken City theme song earlier today.

01:41:15.000 Dude, I have some incredible harmonies for that.

01:41:17.000 I'm super excited.

01:41:18.000 So we were tracking the second verse.

01:41:20.000 And so I put the camera up and I just recorded nothing but me singing and put it up on Instagram.

01:41:25.000 It was like a joke.

01:41:26.000 And the harmonies are so good that I wrote, I think it could be a hit song.

01:41:30.000 Yes.

01:41:30.000 It's incredible.

01:41:31.000 Yeah, this song is about Chicken City and it's going to be epic.

01:41:34.000 So I played it on my Instagram on The Acoustic and now we're finishing out.

01:41:38.000 It's a beautiful, beautiful folk song.

01:41:40.000 Beautiful.

01:41:42.000 Alright, let's see what we got.

01:41:45.000 Amanda Dilt says, today is my son Hunter's fifth birthday.

01:41:48.000 Can you please wish him a happy birthday?

01:41:50.000 He really loves all the voices that Seamus does.

01:41:53.000 Oh, that's adorable.

01:41:55.000 What voice should I do?

01:41:56.000 Ben Shapiro.

01:41:56.000 Okay, first of all, happy birthday.

01:41:58.000 Happy birthday to you, embody the archetypal... How old is he turning?

01:42:02.000 Five years old, Hunter.

01:42:03.000 Embody the archetypal five-year-old, be a hero.

01:42:07.000 Hunter, that's my brother's middle name.

01:42:09.000 Okay, you got Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson.

01:42:11.000 What else?

01:42:12.000 Jack Dorsey.

01:42:13.000 Happy birthday.

01:42:14.000 Happy fifth birthday, young man.

01:42:16.000 Trump was... First of all, five was a very good year for me.

01:42:19.000 I hope it's a good year for you too, frankly.

01:42:21.000 Quite frankly, it's when I... You probably won't make as much money as I bet.

01:42:25.000 It's when I started to amass my fortune.

01:42:26.000 Got a job very early.

01:42:30.000 Is that it?

01:42:30.000 I don't know.

01:42:31.000 Throw another voice at me.

01:42:32.000 Any voice.

01:42:33.000 Any voices they want for this kid's birthday.

01:42:36.000 Gilbert Gottfried.

01:42:38.000 Oh man, can I do that?

01:42:39.000 HAPPY FIFTH BIRTHDAY!

01:42:49.000 Alright, Grant Gordon says, Tim, you guys gotta go and see and review the new movie out, The Northmen.

01:42:54.000 There's no political agenda, the woke are furious, there's no diverse cast, and it's extremely masculine.

01:43:00.000 It's an awesome I did go see it.

01:43:02.000 I quite enjoyed it, actually.

01:43:04.000 I thought it was really good.

01:43:06.000 What are people saying?

01:43:07.000 It's basically Hamlet, but with vikings? 1.00

01:43:09.000 Yeah, that's what I heard.

01:43:10.000 Where did you see it?

01:43:13.000 Just local theater.

01:43:14.000 Yeah, up in Frederick.

01:43:15.000 So, I thought it was great.

01:43:17.000 Uh, I actually was really, uh, enthralled.

01:43:21.000 So, you know, I, I, I determined how, how much I like a movie based on, you know, a few factors.

01:43:26.000 Did I, was I, was I attuned to the film the whole time?

01:43:30.000 That's a big one.

01:43:31.000 Because there are films with like really great scenes where I like, whoa, and then something happens and I'll be like looking around or I'll be like, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

01:43:37.000 I don't know what's going on.

01:43:38.000 So this movie, I didn't take my eyes off the screen one time.

01:43:41.000 I was glued to it because it's always something cool happening.

01:43:44.000 I thought it was good.

01:43:45.000 I thought it was good.

01:43:46.000 I don't think the story was like a legendary, profound thing, but I remembered everything through it and there were some really cool moments.

01:43:52.000 How's it doing overall, do you think?

01:43:54.000 I don't know, but it's cool.

01:43:55.000 Alexander Skarsgård plays a Viking berserker.

01:43:57.000 It's really cool.

01:43:59.000 It's brutal.

01:44:00.000 Now, just a question.

01:44:01.000 Did you like Yellowstone?

01:44:02.000 I did not watch it.

01:44:03.000 Oh, okay.

01:44:04.000 I don't know.

01:44:05.000 I hear it's good, though.

01:44:05.000 I hear it's great, yeah.

01:44:07.000 I should watch it, though.

01:44:08.000 I like The Northman.

01:44:09.000 Northman opened with $23.5 million.

01:44:11.000 Is that good?

01:44:12.000 It's definitely not politically correct, Yellowstone.

01:44:15.000 Oh, really?

01:44:16.000 When I saw the trailers for The Northman, I was like, I want to see that.

01:44:19.000 Like, brutal Viking film.

01:44:20.000 And it's just, I dig it.

01:44:22.000 It's a brutal movie.

01:44:23.000 Wow.

01:44:24.000 Yeah, it's cool.

01:44:24.000 The cinematography's incredible, too.

01:44:27.000 I thought it was fantastic.

01:44:29.000 Actually, I would say this.

01:44:30.000 I would go see it again.

01:44:31.000 It's on my list now.

01:44:32.000 Yeah.

01:44:33.000 There's very few movies I would go see twice.

01:44:34.000 I would see that one.

01:44:35.000 I'm not saying that to make you think that like it's a Lord of the Rings, you know, some epic, but it's just really entertaining.

01:44:41.000 So I'm definitely looking forward to watching it again.

01:44:44.000 And they're saying it's like, it's racist.

01:44:46.000 It's all white. 0.77

01:44:47.000 It's patriarchal. 0.87

01:44:48.000 It's alt-right.

01:44:49.000 And I'm like, dude, it's just like...

01:44:51.000 It's what it was.

01:44:52.000 It's a Viking movie.

01:44:53.000 I don't know.

01:44:54.000 I watched Black Panther.

01:44:55.000 I thought it was really good too.

01:44:56.000 And that was a mostly black cast.

01:45:00.000 Am I supposed to be angry about this stuff?

01:45:02.000 It's just so weird to me, man.

01:45:04.000 All right.

01:45:05.000 All right.

01:45:06.000 Let's see, uh, on numbers.

01:45:08.000 It says that Northman costs 70 to 90 million to make.

01:45:11.000 It's $90 million.

01:45:12.000 And that there's only made about 23 million in the first weekend.

01:45:15.000 So they anticipate not making the money back on it.

01:45:18.000 But you know, that may change.

01:45:19.000 They're saying they don't think they'll make their money back. 0.97

01:45:20.000 That's what they get for spending $90 million on a freaking movie. 0.96

01:45:24.000 Geez. 0.94

01:45:24.000 And it's kind of crazy because it's a lot of just like outdoors in Scandinavia. 0.94

01:45:28.000 And like VR or not VR, but a CG.

01:45:31.000 It's not really.

01:45:33.000 Are there a lot of high A-list actors in it, or very popular actors?

01:45:36.000 Nicole Kidman, Willem Dafoe's in it.

01:45:39.000 Oh yeah.

01:45:39.000 That's 20 million.

01:45:41.000 Alexander Skarsgård is not that big, but he's fairly well known.

01:45:45.000 He played Magneto at some point, did he?

01:45:47.000 Was it Skarsgård played Magneto?

01:45:48.000 Is that the same guy?

01:45:49.000 No, no, no.

01:45:50.000 Skarsgård, he was in True Blood.

01:45:53.000 His most notable role is he was the male model in Zoolander who sprayed gasoline on That's a great role. 0.99

01:46:01.000 I forgot about that scene.

01:46:03.000 That hysterical gasoline fight.

01:46:06.000 Do you think there's more to life than being really, really, really ridiculously good looking?

01:46:10.000 I wanna watch Zoolander now.

01:46:13.000 What is this, a school for ants?

01:46:14.000 Really?

01:46:14.000 Did they implement that?

01:46:15.000 Why did they do that?

01:46:16.000 twitter now is a downvote system i'm surprised really really did they implement that what did they do that

01:46:21.000 you have only some people though

01:46:23.000 uh...

01:46:24.000 all right laughing dogs only democrats get to be downvoted now in a lot of us

01:46:28.000 for laughing dogs as good job with the street mean to me my boy

01:46:32.000 a very proud of you and your hard work and shut it in the wire for makes

01:46:35.000 happen We are actually looking at Times Square ads, though.

01:46:39.000 Looking at a couple, because we've got the Tales from the Inverted World book release coming up in a couple months.

01:46:44.000 The new book.

01:46:45.000 So we're going to do, like, a big campaign.

01:46:46.000 It's going to be fantastic, building that culture.

01:46:49.000 Tales from the Inverted World, Ghosts of the Civil War.

01:46:52.000 The coolest thing about it, I think, is not like the ghost stories, the UFO, Bigfoot, or the lost gold.

01:46:56.000 It's what I hear from Shane Cashman, our reporter, our writer, who's meeting all these people from the South, from Georgia, and they're telling him about what went down in the Civil War.

01:47:05.000 And it's just like crazy stuff that you don't hear about Like one story was when you know during Sherman's march to the sea when they like ransacked everything there was whiskey pouring from casks into the street and guys were Scooping it up with their hats and just like trying to drink it crazy stuff like that.

01:47:20.000 Yeah cool stories Yeah, and they really hate Sherman.

01:47:24.000 Oh, yeah Yeah, absolutely brutal named a tank after him too.

01:47:32.000 Yeah, I All right, let's see what we got.

01:47:36.000 Bradley Markham says, I've been watching your report since 2015.

01:47:39.000 Your track record is impeccable.

01:47:40.000 Thank you for what you do.

01:47:42.000 You know, it's simple.

01:47:44.000 When I do general reporting on the facts, they tend to be correct.

01:47:49.000 The Covington kids.

01:47:51.000 They come out, they lie about it.

01:47:52.000 I do the digging, I say, here's what happened.

01:47:54.000 I'm right.

01:47:55.000 Predictions, not as much.

01:47:57.000 When I say, because of this, here's what I think will happen.

01:48:00.000 Those are up in the air.

01:48:01.000 Predictions are very hard.

01:48:03.000 Right.

01:48:04.000 Even when they have lots of information, because there's so many factors that can go into changing

01:48:07.000 the course of events going forward.

01:48:10.000 And having some, maybe being a little humble, okay, I found that in the intelligence community

01:48:16.000 is very easy for people to report what's going on, to describe things, but they're not very

01:48:22.000 good at predicting.

01:48:23.000 Yeah, and your prediction, a public prediction will also alter the course of whatever had

01:48:28.000 been happening just by disturbing the process.

01:48:33.000 I think over the past couple years especially, I've been reluctant to make predictions just because of how insane things have got.

01:48:37.000 But I will say this, the one prediction I've gotten more confident in making is that the media is lying to me.

01:48:43.000 What they're saying to me will turn out to be a lie.

01:48:45.000 That prediction I'm always comfortable making.

01:48:48.000 Alright, TheOneFreeMan says Twitter just reactivated from when I shared the laptop story.

01:48:53.000 Interesting.

01:48:54.000 Also, Ukraine government paying farmers to stop farming.

01:48:57.000 US refuses to ship fertilizers to farms.

01:49:00.000 Canada declares fertilizer worst emissions offender.

01:49:03.000 More processing plant fires.

01:49:05.000 Intentional.

01:49:06.000 Perhaps, perhaps, but it's interesting that they shut you down over the laptop and only just released it.

01:49:11.000 Some people have said it's an end run, that right now Twitter is burning papers, destroying records, destroying code, because they don't want anyone to find out what's going on.

01:49:18.000 Well, it just goes to show you, because if what he's saying is true, the laptop story was proven to be true a good while before Elon Musk purchased Twitter.

01:49:29.000 Yeah, and that code is going to be backed up elsewhere.

01:49:32.000 People are actually destroying Twitter's IP right now by doing something to code.

01:49:36.000 Those people are going to go to federal prison.

01:49:38.000 But the memos, the emails, that sort of thing, you know, people I think are fairly certain that they will not be held accountable at the end of the day.

01:49:49.000 They won't be publicly shamed.

01:49:50.000 They won't be called out.

01:49:52.000 And even if someone tries, it'll be very hard to penetrate the media controlled environment.

01:49:58.000 They'll just call it fake news over and over again.

01:49:59.000 They don't really need to cover things up.

01:50:01.000 They just need to shame you for talking about them.

01:50:04.000 All right.

01:50:04.000 Colonel Cornelius Cornwall says, I have like 13 plus videos of Tim talking about corn.

01:50:10.000 I plan on making a corn-pellation.

01:50:12.000 Tim, please join my corn cult, Cornicultia.

01:50:15.000 Corn be with you. 0.98

01:50:16.000 Corn be with you. 0.98

01:50:17.000 We've done amazing things with corn.

01:50:19.000 We've made plastics, fuel.

01:50:22.000 Popcorn.

01:50:22.000 Sounds corny.

01:50:24.000 Yeah.

01:50:25.000 Syrup.

01:50:25.000 I tried to lower my chair so I could just sink out of frame when I said that, but it was already too low.

01:50:30.000 Pardaxilis says, shout out to all the TimCast members.

01:50:32.000 $10 a month is changing culture.

01:50:34.000 Thanks, Tim, for being genuine and transparent.

01:50:37.000 We try to the greatest degree that we can, and if you become members at TimCast.com, just know we're gonna do more stuff like setting up billboards, calling out the BS, and We've got a bunch of other ideas.

01:50:50.000 I call it culture jamming as marketing.

01:50:52.000 I didn't make that up.

01:50:53.000 The idea is, am I really going to market this company by putting up a billboard where it's like, watch the show?

01:50:59.000 I mean, maybe we might, something like that.

01:51:02.000 But what really works is culture jamming.

01:51:05.000 Making something that makes people stop and think and say, hey, whoa, challenging the system, calling out liars.

01:51:12.000 That's worth way more than putting up an ad where it's like, buy my book.

01:51:16.000 Got to do something.

01:51:18.000 All right.

01:51:19.000 Murph tries.

01:51:19.000 DIY says, Seamus, you need to make Tim's rant of Elon and the Battle of Helm's Deep a freedom tune.

01:51:25.000 Well, now I can't.

01:51:26.000 Now he's going to be able to sue me if I do it.

01:51:28.000 What?

01:51:29.000 It's an unsolicited pitch.

01:51:32.000 That's right.

01:51:33.000 But I'll tell you what, Seamus.

01:51:35.000 I was gonna, but now I can't.

01:51:36.000 Maybe you just need to figure out when to get those Fauci roles in these cartoons.

01:51:42.000 Tim is always gunning for Fauci because he pays the bills here.

01:51:46.000 I can also do Nancy Pelosi if he just gives me a chance.

01:51:50.000 Do I want to animate Nancy Pelosi?

01:51:52.000 I just don't really want to think about her.

01:51:56.000 Maybe we should make a chicken Nancy Pelosi for Chicken City Cartoons. 0.92

01:52:01.000 Alright, Logan Lux says possible solution to Twitter censorship.

01:52:05.000 Anything can be posted, but every user is required to tag their post as graphic, gore, etc., and users also filter out their own set of tags they don't want to see.

01:52:14.000 Suspend those tagging inappropriately.

01:52:17.000 I think what Minds does is that you have to tag your content.

01:52:21.000 If you don't, you get permanently soft censored, meaning they put like a blur over your pictures.

01:52:26.000 Over your entire channel, yeah.

01:52:27.000 People have to go there and accept it.

01:52:28.000 And that's also a great point, granular search.

01:52:31.000 So basically you can blacklist words that you don't want to see and you can whitelist things that you want to appear up in your algorithm.

01:52:39.000 That's, I think it's a really good way of moving forward.

01:52:40.000 Right on.

01:52:43.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr. 0.99

01:52:44.000 says, no crap! 1.00

01:52:45.000 Down with crap! 1.00

01:52:46.000 And that's Critical Race Applied Principles. 1.00

01:52:48.000 Completely agree.

01:52:51.000 Alright.

01:52:54.000 Jeffrey Pfaff says, Staten Island GOP did the same thing today to John Matland. 0.85

01:52:59.000 He was primarying a useless GOP rep. 0.54

01:53:02.000 What is that, Militakis?

01:53:04.000 We got all of the required signatures, but the establishment GOP challenged it, going to court.

01:53:09.000 Corruption.

01:53:11.000 Not a fan.

01:53:12.000 The Jaded Kriegsman says, Tim, I like the idea on a boycott, but it's better that people, where they can, vote in for populists in 22 and go vote in the primaries, still vote in the general but only for populist candidates, and right abstain for others.

01:53:29.000 Yeah, it's a good point.

01:53:30.000 You should definitely vote for the populists if you can.

01:53:33.000 Because if there's a hundred jurisdictions where a populist does win, then the crony establishment will have no power in the federal government because they, you know, assuming they cheated or whatever.

01:53:43.000 Or like, you know, I mean by booting people out of the primary.

01:53:46.000 And then you got to take what you can get.

01:53:47.000 Maybe by 2024 they'll have lost all of their institutional power.

01:53:52.000 Murph Try says, what can we do to get Matt Walsh to read Johnny the Walrus to the cast of Chicken City?

01:53:57.000 I don't know how you would keep the chickens, like, watching.

01:54:01.000 It's like an a la carte thing.

01:54:02.000 They can come and go.

01:54:03.000 Also, I don't, well, maybe we're underestimating how engaging this story is.

01:54:07.000 It's very engaging.

01:54:08.000 Chickens could pay attention. 0.68

01:54:09.000 I haven't read it.

01:54:09.000 Do walruses scare chickens?

01:54:11.000 Oh, that's a good question.

01:54:12.000 Probably.

01:54:13.000 But I think the real question is, do pictures of walruses scare chickens?

01:54:16.000 Because they might not know the difference.

01:54:18.000 No, the real question is, does Matt Walsh scare chickens?

01:54:20.000 Matt Walsh does scare chickens.

01:54:23.000 Chickens are scared of everything.

01:54:24.000 That's why they're chickens. 1.00

01:54:25.000 Roberto's beard.

01:54:26.000 Roberto's getting pretty tough.

01:54:29.000 He's challenging people.

01:54:31.000 You think he could take Matt Walsh?

01:54:32.000 No, but he'll try.

01:54:33.000 Not in a one-on-one fight, no.

01:54:35.000 Walsh would do it to him.

01:54:37.000 Yeah, I think Walsh definitely could beat a rooster.

01:54:39.000 Could probably beat the rooster.

01:54:40.000 Yeah, he could beat a rooster.

01:54:41.000 That's my hunch, but you're kind of upselling this rooster.

01:54:44.000 What about a goose, though?

01:54:46.000 I don't know if Matt Walsh could beat a goose in a fight.

01:54:49.000 Goose is tough.

01:54:50.000 Like a big goose?

01:54:51.000 I don't know.

01:54:52.000 Yeah, like the biggest.

01:54:53.000 I mean, if he had gnolls backing him up, then definitely not.

01:54:58.000 Do you think you could beat a goose, Derek?

01:55:04.000 We have five geese at our place.

01:55:06.000 Oh, tell me about it.

01:55:07.000 And they are mean.

01:55:09.000 How close can you get?

01:55:10.000 They chase ya.

01:55:13.000 I would chase a goose.

01:55:16.000 Matt Walsh could beat a goose in a fight, but a gang of geese.

01:55:21.000 Like five?

01:55:22.000 I think he'd have to run us down.

01:55:23.000 I'd mess every one of those geese up.

01:55:26.000 Remember that meme?

01:55:28.000 Fight one horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses?

01:55:33.000 I think you gotta go with the small horses.

01:55:35.000 They're more docile, I believe.

01:55:37.000 Don't get me wrong.

01:55:38.000 There was a hysterical study, and I can't remember where it was from, but it was basically a survey done comparing the results between men and women when they asked them which animals they could defeat in a fight.

01:55:47.000 It's really good.

01:55:48.000 Ah, man.

01:55:48.000 Maybe we'll pull it up on the aftershow.

01:55:50.000 That's a teaser now.

01:55:51.000 You haven't told us about it.

01:55:52.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:55:53.000 You guys are gonna have to see the results!

01:55:54.000 Tune on to the aftershow!

01:55:57.000 All right, Matthew Miller says, good to hear the spirit of Dave Smith speaking through Seamus.

01:56:02.000 That tax talk on labor versus gas sounds familiar.

01:56:05.000 Cheers, all.

01:56:05.000 Has Dave Smith said that?

01:56:07.000 Well, good for him.

01:56:08.000 You mean you're not going to acknowledge that you ripped off Dave Smith?

01:56:10.000 I stole it from Dave.

01:56:12.000 I was watching.

01:56:13.000 Look, we need to roll back the state.

01:56:15.000 We spy on all of our own citizens.

01:56:17.000 Our prisons are flooded with nonviolent drug offenders.

01:56:20.000 If you want to know who we're going to go to war with next, look at who we're funding right now.

01:56:23.000 Original Seamus Coghlan quote.

01:56:25.000 Very original, yeah.

01:56:28.000 All right.

01:56:30.000 Lackles says, we built Chicken City on Buck and Crow.

01:56:35.000 Well, okay.

01:56:38.000 Darius Harvey says, do you guys have an app yet?

01:56:40.000 Almost!

01:56:41.000 We almost have an app.

01:56:42.000 We're starting with iOS and then we're going to do Android and it takes time because, oh man, things take too much time.

01:56:49.000 They're expensive.

01:56:50.000 So, um, Become a member at tipcast.com.

01:56:54.000 Orange Red says, What happens to Cast Castle once you move to the new HQ?

01:56:58.000 There will be some production stuff still happening here.

01:57:02.000 Uh, I don't know about the vlog though.

01:57:05.000 We may have to move that to Freedamastan.

01:57:07.000 But then what?

01:57:07.000 Is the name Castcastle and not Freedamastan?

01:57:09.000 I don't know.

01:57:11.000 We've got really cool updates on the foundation's been laid.

01:57:15.000 They're going to be doing the building soon.

01:57:17.000 We are going to be building.

01:57:18.000 It's going to look so wacky.

01:57:19.000 It's going to be amazing.

01:57:21.000 We got crazy plans.

01:57:22.000 I don't want to release them just yet, but we're going to, one thing we are planning on doing, the internals of the new workspace is going to be fully skatable.

01:57:32.000 So like, there'll be a picnic bench for you to sit and work at.

01:57:36.000 Angle iron, grind bars, you can skate on it, you can do whatever.

01:57:39.000 There's going to be a stage.

01:57:40.000 It's also going to be part of a fun box, like a multi-use skate obstacle.

01:57:45.000 And the flat can open up to a foam pit.

01:57:48.000 The bar, where you can go get something to drink or cook food.

01:57:51.000 Totally skatable.

01:57:52.000 Angle iron, skate light, all that good stuff.

01:57:54.000 The whole thing.

01:57:55.000 It's going to be epic.

01:57:56.000 So during the work day, people are working, and then once work is done, people will throw down their boards, put on their blades, grab their scooter or bike, and then they're going to be grinding on all their work equipment.

01:58:03.000 That sounds like a good tourist location for people to come set up tours, set up lodging, you know, visitors.

01:58:12.000 That would be really fun.

01:58:14.000 And then we'll just, you know, my goal is in 10 years to have massive skyscrapers in the middle of West Virginia.

01:58:19.000 Yeah.

01:58:20.000 Where people are just going to be like, what is going on?

01:58:22.000 Hey, hey! 0.96

01:58:22.000 Well, that means we're going to have tons of new people coming in, bringing in new jobs. 0.96

01:58:27.000 And it's going to be, it's going to be really cool.

01:58:28.000 When my five-year-old and nine-year-old hear about this, they're going to say, that's where I want to work.

01:58:33.000 Yeah.

01:58:33.000 Well, we already have a skate park in this house.

01:58:36.000 We have in the basement and we have one in the garage.

01:58:38.000 So the new space is 7,500 square feet, 31 feet tall, 25 on the sides with a 31 foot at the center because of the pitch.

01:58:48.000 We're going to have the studio very much like we do now, but it's going to be on the second floor.

01:58:52.000 It's going to have one wall all glass so you can see the whole, you know, interior of the building.

01:58:57.000 I hate to bring this up, but what's OSHA say about that?

01:59:00.000 No, it's all fine.

01:59:00.000 I don't know.

01:59:01.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:59:03.000 I mean, it's actually nothing particularly crazy relative to what a lot of companies already do.

01:59:08.000 When I went, like Fusion's office had that already.

01:59:11.000 The mezzanine was like overlooking the entirety of the warehouse building with all the people working on the bottom.

01:59:16.000 Ours is just a particularly smaller version of it.

01:59:18.000 So the real issue is how you segment space for who and what work and like how it works for insurance.

01:59:25.000 But I think we'll be able to navigate it just fine.

01:59:28.000 You know, so certain space is allotted to certain elements of the business and not to the others.

01:59:32.000 And there's different companies that have different portions and stuff like that.

01:59:35.000 We'll build some stuff outside as well.

01:59:37.000 Uh, it's going to be a lot of fun.

01:59:38.000 We have this gigantic, like 15 foot mound of dirt now for when they excavate it.

01:59:43.000 We'll maybe build something.

01:59:44.000 I don't know.

01:59:45.000 All right.

01:59:45.000 Yeah.

01:59:46.000 Underground tunnels, hobbit house.

01:59:49.000 All right, but hopefully it'll get done.

01:59:51.000 Yeah, castle is also a verb, so cast castle would be like the moving of the king.

01:59:57.000 All right, Evstyle says, still looking for sandwich prospects.

02:00:00.000 Sent an email to SpinTheUFO, really interested in making sandwiches for you guys.

02:00:05.000 Donut and deli for life.

02:00:07.000 I think we're going to do a coffee shop first.

02:00:10.000 Because we looked over the costs and we were like, coffee's probably the safest and fastest and easiest way to go.

02:00:16.000 And there's a lot of interesting ideas we could do for it.

02:00:18.000 You know, just undercut Starbucks and put them next to them.

02:00:22.000 I've been inundated with people who are excited to make sandwiches for us.

02:00:27.000 So you guys are all displacing me.

02:00:29.000 I'm just kidding.

02:00:30.000 No, I have too many sandwich offers and we'll figure it out.

02:00:32.000 Well, what we need is someone who knows how to run a sandwich shop.

02:00:35.000 We don't need someone who's like, I've made a sandwich before. 0.98

02:00:37.000 We need someone who's like, I know the equipment, the machinery, someone who's actually managed it.

02:00:41.000 In fact, we need someone who's probably run one.

02:00:44.000 And then we could do it, but you know, we'll see.

02:00:47.000 Uh, so let's, uh, wait, what?

02:00:51.000 I can't read that super chat, so I'm going to keep going.

02:00:54.000 And, uh, September Thompson says the chicken party needs an animated Tim yelling chicken party.

02:00:59.000 Well, here's the idea.

02:01:01.000 We have an idea for the ultimate chicken party, which is we just recorded the Chicken City theme song.

02:01:06.000 And so what'll happen is if 10 chicken parties happen in one day, an ultimate party happens where me and Ian walk in on both sides and Ian's banging the tambourine while we're both playing and singing the Chicken City theme song.

02:01:17.000 That's so good.

02:01:19.000 That's so good.

02:01:21.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

02:01:22.000 says, proud of yous.

02:01:23.000 Don't let him down.

02:01:52.000 No, I'd just like to thank everyone for letting me join you tonight.

02:01:55.000 I think this is, you know, very quick-witted conversation, good insights, very agile thinking, some good comedy.

02:02:04.000 Oh, thank you.

02:02:05.000 Good impersonations and I really enjoyed it.

02:02:07.000 I'd love to be back.

02:02:08.000 I'd like to bring my kids to see the compound.

02:02:11.000 This is fantastic.

02:02:12.000 We got a great gig going here.

02:02:14.000 When's the election happening?

02:02:15.000 July 19th and we need a good turnout.

02:02:19.000 I think the more people that turn out the better because we got to get the base out and we got to go after the establishment candidates and challenge them.

02:02:27.000 Right on.

02:02:40.000 We release a new cartoon every Thursday.

02:02:43.000 We're working on one about Disney losing its special privileges and one about Musk buying Twitter.

02:02:49.000 In fact, there's a good amount of material there.

02:02:50.000 We might do more than one on that topic.

02:02:52.000 Go over there, subscribe, hit the notification bell, and thank you so much for watching.

02:03:05.000 Yeah, I just wanted to say, if you do go to VoteForDerekHarvey.com, there's a really cute picture of him and his little family on their tractor, which is incredible.

02:03:12.000 And I also wanted to say, people have been yelling at me and telling me that the MyPillowGuy is back and that the Babylon Bee is back.

02:03:18.000 I haven't seen that the Babylon Bee is actually back.

02:03:20.000 The Mike Lindell account that is back is not.

02:03:23.000 A lot of fake accounts being made right now, so watch out.

02:03:25.000 Always do your due diligence and make sure you're spreading the truth and making sure that everybody's on the correct page.

02:03:31.000 You guys can follow me on Twitter, we're all scrolling down, at sarahpatchlids as well as mines.com and at sarahpatchlids.me Yeah, a lot of fake accounts that people don't know this, the Timcast account is actually me.

02:03:42.000 It is.

02:03:43.000 Stay away from that one. 0.66

02:03:45.000 Yeah, I'm actually not even on Twitter.

02:03:47.000 So every time he's trending, it's actually... Seamus wishes he was me on Twitter.

02:03:51.000 What?

02:03:52.000 I've got 1.1 million followers.

02:03:54.000 Well, I have... No, I actually, I actually, I gained a bunch of followers on my account.

02:03:59.000 Like 20,000 today or whatever.

02:04:01.000 That's because Russia Heard Musk bought Twitter and now they're sending the bots in.
