Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Woman BEATS Cop With Baton Over Mask "Law," People Are SNAPPING w- Eric July

00:00:00.000 So I see this story. 0.98

00:00:28.000 A woman was told to wear a mask, so she takes the baton from the sheriff, so that's beating the crap out of the sheriff. 1.00

00:00:34.000 And I thought to myself, man, that's really crazy, especially because we've seen a lot of instances now of people refusing to abide by lockdown, or, you know, sticking it to the man, I guess.

00:00:44.000 Like, there's one video where a guy parks his truck behind the health inspector, and he's like, if I can't work, you can't work either.

00:00:49.000 And the cop is like, you gotta move your trucks or anything.

00:00:51.000 It's like, I'm not moving anything.

00:00:52.000 I'm desperate and I'm not doing anything.

00:00:54.000 And so we're seeing stuff like this.

00:00:55.000 So I see this story about this cop getting beaten.

00:00:57.000 I'm like, man, that's crazy.

00:00:59.000 Because it's one thing to say you're not gonna wear a mask and then everyone makes a viral video about you.

00:01:03.000 It's another thing to say you're gonna keep your business open and you get arrested.

00:01:06.000 It's another thing to be some lady going to the gas station and beating the cop with their own baton. 1.00

00:01:11.000 Now that's a step over the line.

00:01:12.000 That's where, you know, people are starting to snap.

00:01:14.000 So we're looking up these stories.

00:01:16.000 Like, oh, let's see, you know, let's see what's, is there a bigger story here?

00:01:19.000 You just Google search it.

00:01:21.000 We got like, I think, four stories already.

00:01:23.000 Very, very similar.

00:01:25.000 Some Navy vet bashed a guy over the head with a bottle because he was told he had to wear a mask.

00:01:30.000 People aren't having it anymore.

00:01:31.000 And that's kind of freaky, but this does tie into what we're going to see coming up on January 6th.

00:01:36.000 Because you got all these people coming to D.C.

00:01:37.000 Donald Trump says have this big rally.

00:01:39.000 And you got to understand that the lockdowns are coming almost entirely from Democrats.

00:01:44.000 There definitely are Republicans who are pushing certain lockdown restrictions and things like that.

00:01:47.000 But you got a lot of people, they got nothing left to lose.

00:01:51.000 They've lost their business.

00:01:52.000 They've lost their livelihood.

00:01:54.000 Their lives are at risk.

00:01:55.000 They got free time.

00:01:56.000 Just like we saw with the George Floyd riots.

00:01:58.000 People had nothing to do.

00:01:59.000 They were bored.

00:02:00.000 Their jobs were gone.

00:02:01.000 And they snapped and they went out and they smashed everything up.

00:02:03.000 Now you've got people who are being told the guy they voted for, they like, is not gonna win.

00:02:08.000 And they got nothing left to lose.

00:02:10.000 So when we start seeing these stories about people bashing somebody with a bottle or beating cops, I'm like, man, things are starting to get spicy.

00:02:16.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:02:17.000 We've got a bunch of other stories, too.

00:02:19.000 The actual big news, I guess, is that Mitch McConnell rejected the $2,000 stimulus, proposed his own bill that has a provision in it to repeal Section 230, which is causing a huge debate.

00:02:28.000 A lot of Trump supporters are totally for it.

00:02:30.000 I think many people on the internet, including most on the left and many moderate, independent types, are against it.

00:02:36.000 That'll be interesting, too.

00:02:37.000 And then probably the greatest and only good thing to come out of the Omnibus bill is that of all the things they snuck into this 5,500-page bill was a provision mandating the Pentagon release their information on UFOs in 180 days.

00:02:51.000 And I'm like, eh, I'm kinda okay with that one.

00:02:53.000 Like, the rest of them we can complain about.

00:02:54.000 That one's cool.

00:02:55.000 So we're gonna talk about this.

00:02:56.000 Hanging out today, we got Eric July again.

00:02:58.000 Hey, man.

00:02:59.000 How's it going, man?

00:02:59.000 Thanks for sticking around, hanging out.

00:03:01.000 Hey, man.

00:03:01.000 I'm here, and I appreciate it again.

00:03:03.000 This was fun.

00:03:04.000 It was fun yesterday.

00:03:04.000 We had a great episode.

00:03:05.000 That was good.

00:03:06.000 And we had to do it again because Luke wasn't feeling too well.

00:03:09.000 We had to bring Luke back so that we could have this bigger conversation.

00:03:11.000 Well, I'm not going to run away this time, but me and Eric are going to, again, contest a lot of your ideas, which I'm very excited about.

00:03:17.000 No, I'm going to moderate.

00:03:19.000 Sorry for walking out on you amazing human beings.

00:03:21.000 We got a lot of stuff to debate about taxation being cut now.

00:03:25.000 But most importantly, sorry for walking out on you amazing human beings.

00:03:29.000 I had a migraine all day and then for some reason I was at a level where I was about

00:03:32.000 to puke or pass out. 0.57

00:03:34.000 And that's not good for television.

00:03:36.000 So I just kind of walked away.

00:03:38.000 What is it?

00:03:39.000 You forgot to take this.

00:03:40.000 I'd rather not.

00:03:42.000 You gotta show everybody.

00:03:43.000 Luke didn't take his medicine.

00:03:46.000 Luke didn't take his medicine.

00:03:48.000 That's by your side of the table.

00:03:51.000 Just for the record.

00:03:51.000 That's Michael Malice's who's getting a shout out every time we reference that it's here because it's hilarious.

00:03:57.000 He gets a shout out.

00:03:57.000 Yep.

00:03:58.000 That was his trick.

00:03:59.000 He knows it's funny.

00:04:00.000 Not walking out today.

00:04:01.000 Thanks so much for having me on.

00:04:02.000 Yeah, right on.

00:04:03.000 Pass me that male vitality while you're at it. 0.95

00:04:05.000 Are you going to take some?

00:04:06.000 Yeah.

00:04:07.000 No, no, I'm going to do it.

00:04:08.000 I'm going to spin it.

00:04:09.000 I'm going to spin the male vitality while we're at it. 0.92

00:04:12.000 It's everything our show has built up to.

00:04:14.000 Spin that male vitality.

00:04:16.000 What up, Holmes?

00:04:17.000 And the gorilla.

00:04:18.000 I'm back with a better gorilla with a new and improved set piece.

00:04:23.000 Yeah.

00:04:23.000 Somehow the gorilla's become like a mascot.

00:04:25.000 It looks good in red.

00:04:26.000 It does.

00:04:27.000 We've kind of decided.

00:04:28.000 You couldn't really tell what it was in blue.

00:04:29.000 I'll show you.

00:04:30.000 It's a little...

00:04:31.000 It's so cool.

00:04:32.000 Amorphous.

00:04:33.000 So I think we'll stick with red for now.

00:04:35.000 It's so cool.

00:04:35.000 But Eric, if you think I should have changed the color to let me know.

00:04:38.000 I'm glad you're back, Luke.

00:04:41.000 Oh yeah.

00:04:41.000 I was sad when you walked out yesterday.

00:04:43.000 Are you feeling good?

00:04:44.000 You got your kombucha?

00:04:45.000 I feel like if I would pass out or puke, you would like give me a stink eye and then be like, also in the news.

00:04:53.000 I'm also extremely grateful for being healthy.

00:04:55.000 I woke up this morning and I felt amazing.

00:04:56.000 And again, a lot of people take their health for granted.

00:04:58.000 But yes, I'm also extremely grateful for being healthy.

00:05:02.000 I woke up this morning and I felt amazing.

00:05:05.000 And again, a lot of people take their health for granted.

00:05:07.000 Don't.

00:05:08.000 Seriously, I'm extremely happy to be healthy and cognitive and not in pain and suffering.

00:05:14.000 So seriously, don't take advantage of it.

00:05:17.000 appreciate the health that you are. You know what the easiest way to understand that sentiment is? It's like you

00:05:21.000 never think about breathing out of both nostrils until your nose gets stuffed and then you can't remember what it was

00:05:26.000 like. You know, you're like, man, I remember what I can't.

00:05:28.000 What was I didn't even notice breathing out of both nostrils.

00:05:30.000 Now my nose is all stuffed, I'm sick, and it's hard to breathe.

00:05:32.000 Yeah, a lot of us, you know, don't take it seriously how amazing it is to be healthy.

00:05:36.000 There's so many of us that are not healthy.

00:05:38.000 Seriously, appreciate it. 0.99

00:05:40.000 And you gotta keep working and striving to be your best all the time now, especially in this sick and twisted world with so much crap. 0.99

00:05:48.000 Shoved down your mouth hole figuratively and literally that you did you watch the show yesterday? 1.00

00:05:52.000 No, no, dude. 0.98

00:05:53.000 We talked about busting up the Federal Reserve Get it on I like that topic.

00:05:59.000 All right.

00:06:00.000 All right.

00:06:00.000 All right, Lydia.

00:06:01.000 She's producing.

00:06:01.000 I am pushing buttons rapidly Well, let's talk about this crazy story man.

00:06:05.000 Check this out this from the Daily Mail Actually, hold on.

00:06:08.000 I'm sorry.

00:06:08.000 I can't believe I just did man.

00:06:09.000 What smash the like button subscribe hit the notification belt Okay, where was I?

00:06:13.000 Dailymail.com.

00:06:15.000 Moment woman beats sheriff's deputy with her own baton after being told she couldn't enter a gas station without a mask.

00:06:22.000 They say St.

00:06:23.000 Louis County Sheriff's Deputy 59 was working security at a Shell gas station late on Christmas Day when she was attacked by a maskless customer.

00:06:31.000 I like how maskless is now an identifier.

00:06:33.000 Because everybody's wearing masks if you're not.

00:06:35.000 That's how they identify you.

00:06:36.000 Maskless.

00:06:37.000 Officials say the deputy told the female suspect to put on a mask, which prompted her to attack the officer with her fists in a parking lot.

00:06:45.000 Assault was captured on cell phone video shot by bystanders.

00:06:48.000 Suspect managed to grab deputy's baton and strike her in the head, causing a concussion.

00:06:53.000 Deputy pursued her attacker and fought back before the woman fled the scene.

00:06:57.000 That's crazy.

00:06:58.000 I don't know if they made an arrest.

00:07:00.000 Now, that deputy, you hear the story and you imagine it's some strapping young male cop.

00:07:04.000 No, it was a lady and it was a 59-year-old woman. 1.00

00:07:07.000 She was working security at the gas station.

00:07:09.000 When the woman entered the store without a face covering, you can see some of the clips there, and then just pulls her out of her car, I guess.

00:07:15.000 The victim stated the suspect became belligerent when the victim informed the suspect that the suspect should not enter the business without a mask, according to the police.

00:07:24.000 Surveillance video from inside the store shows the suspect putting on a mask, then seemingly exchanging some words with the deputy standing by the door.

00:07:30.000 This is weird.

00:07:31.000 It's a weird story.

00:07:32.000 I wonder if this actually has anything to do with masks and more people just being, you know, crazy.

00:07:36.000 But then we've got another story.

00:07:38.000 Let me see if this is it.

00:07:38.000 Yeah.

00:07:39.000 Bar attack.

00:07:40.000 Suspect captured.

00:07:41.000 Charged with assault.

00:07:42.000 This is from Christmas Eve.

00:07:44.000 They say the man accused of hitting a Houston bar employee in the head with a glass has been arrested.

00:07:49.000 Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo tweeted Thursday.

00:07:52.000 The suspect has been apprehended and charged with assault.

00:07:54.000 Now they say this is a Navy veteran who did this.

00:07:57.000 He was charged with assault and it started.

00:07:59.000 The guy who got attacked and bashed over the glass got 10 stitches.

00:08:03.000 The conflict began when the customer did not want to wear a mask.

00:08:06.000 We got a bunch of stories about this.

00:08:08.000 Look at this.

00:08:08.000 Man arrested for shooting at gas station after being told to wear a mask.

00:08:13.000 It's from only a couple days ago.

00:08:15.000 I just did a Google search and all these stories started popping up.

00:08:17.000 And then if I just show you Google, look at this.

00:08:20.000 You got story about like, well, this is different.

00:08:22.000 Airline kicks off a family because a toddler wouldn't wear a mask. 0.79

00:08:25.000 Doctor's license suspended for refusing to wear a mask.

00:08:28.000 Oregon doctor refuses to wear a mask.

00:08:30.000 Man arrested for refusing to wear a mask on a flight from Salt Lake City.

00:08:34.000 What's this one?

00:08:35.000 Still refusing to wear a mask.

00:08:36.000 Bill Nye would like to have a word with you.

00:08:38.000 Whoa.

00:08:39.000 I don't want to get on Bill Nye's bad side, so you tell me to wear a mask, Bill, and we're all good.

00:08:44.000 Well, from the first video, it looked like both of the ladies were in the same weight class. 1.00

00:08:48.000 And that was a world star-esque video.

00:08:50.000 There were tasers, there were batons.

00:08:52.000 There were tasers, there were batons.

00:08:56.000 The weight class was obese, just for everyone watching out there, just for the record.

00:09:03.000 And I think people have had enough.

00:09:05.000 I mean, there's more and more instances of individuals getting into physical confrontations because of the mask issue.

00:09:12.000 Just even this morning, there was a video going around of a disabled US Army veteran getting arrested, getting manhandled by a bunch of police officers because he allegedly wouldn't wear a mask inside of a mall.

00:09:22.000 So we're seeing a lot of these incidences and I think we're going to see more of them and it's really a pity because a lot of individuals are forced to do this by their states because the state mandates that if you want to have a business, you're going to force everyone to wear a mask.

00:09:37.000 In the United Kingdom, They're mandating bar owners to stop people from singing.

00:09:43.000 Now, I don't know about you, I wouldn't want to be a bar owner trying to tell drunk British people not to sing because that's a recipe for disaster, especially at a bar, especially how crazy people get. 1.00

00:09:53.000 But we have to remember, all of this conflict, all of this infighting, a lot of the fights that start with masks All revolve around government mandates and orders and executive orders with not with government officials, not laws, government officials saying you better tell everyone to wear a mask inside of your bodega.

00:10:10.000 Are you going to lose your business license?

00:10:11.000 Are you going to lose your liquor license?

00:10:13.000 Are you going to lose whatever license we give you?

00:10:15.000 And you're going to stop being able to provide for yourself because of this imaginary made up little rule that we just made up on the spot.

00:10:22.000 You know what?

00:10:23.000 This really highlights a funny phenomenon that's going on right now.

00:10:25.000 You got a lot of young people who, you know, 10 years ago weren't involved in politics and are now in politics, and they're very much, like, aligned with Democrats politically.

00:10:33.000 Like, a lot of these younger YouTubers and commentators, some of whom we've had here, they're younger guys.

00:10:37.000 And, like, there seems to be, due to this inexperience, a lack of understanding of what libertarian means, the fact that there's left and right libertarians, and that, for the most part, they're all very critical of policing and government, regardless of whether you're left or right.

00:10:51.000 And so there was a funny post on uh it's called leopards ate my face it's a subreddit where they basically talk about it's like hypocrisy it's like somebody who advocates for something then becoming a victim of something so an anti-vaxxer saying oh no i got sick if only there was something i could you know could have done but there was a post from r slash libertarian breaking down what they don't like about cops and policing like right now when it pertains to covid And they were like, haha, they're reaping what they have sown.

00:11:14.000 And then a bunch of people in the comments were like, I'm pretty sure libertarians don't like cops.

00:11:18.000 I'm not sure what you think is going on.

00:11:21.000 They've always been criticizing policing in this fashion.

00:11:25.000 What I find really funny about all this is I posted a comment.

00:11:28.000 There's that video of the dude who parks his truck behind the healthcare worker, and I posted a video saying, basically, F the cops who are enforcing this.

00:11:35.000 When Antifa was destroying businesses, I defended the cops who were protecting those businesses.

00:11:40.000 Now the cops are the ones destroying these businesses, and they're not doing it under any constitutional law, like, or any constitutional authority or statutory law.

00:11:48.000 Literally just some edict.

00:11:50.000 Some healthcare guy's like, shut him down.

00:11:51.000 The cop goes, you got it.

00:11:53.000 So I criticize it.

00:11:54.000 And I see these people who clearly have no political experience, have not been involved before, They're like, now all of a sudden these people on the right are angry at cops.

00:12:02.000 And I'm like, bro, I don't think you know who I am.

00:12:04.000 Like, I'll criticize people who are violating the rights of individuals.

00:12:07.000 But we're seeing from this, I think it is fair to say there's a lot of conservatives who are now waking up to the fact.

00:12:12.000 Absolutely.

00:12:13.000 These cops.

00:12:14.000 They're gonna shut you down.

00:12:16.000 And I say this out of experience, obviously doing what I do over at The Blaze and having so many conversations with these guys, a lot of folks positions are changing much like it is with like the healthcare industry and nurses and stuff.

00:12:27.000 You're starting to see people on that side start to alter their position.

00:12:31.000 On, on, on cops, which they should. 0.99

00:12:32.000 I mean, if you extended what they actually claim to believe with this whole limited form of government and all those sorts of things to the logical conclusion, then that's exactly what they would be.

00:12:43.000 I mean, who is the one that, that, that enforces all of these laws that you may have an issue with?

00:12:48.000 I always tell them about what it'd be with taxation and all these other sorts of things that they will pin on the Bernie Sanders of the world, the AOCs of the world. 0.59

00:12:56.000 And you can recognize that they, Aren't very smart people, but it also isn't them that goes out and enforces these laws.

00:13:03.000 The teeth of the state are the police officers, and this is why we call them that.

00:13:08.000 It's just gums at that point. 0.95

00:13:10.000 We see that as an example right here with the executive order, where they could just pull it out of their behind.

00:13:15.000 If the cops said, which you have seen in some local levels, not most places, but some instances, but if the cops just said, no, Then that would be it.

00:13:25.000 It would be nothing to discuss.

00:13:27.000 There would be nothing.

00:13:27.000 This is why I'm like, this is an easy thing.

00:13:29.000 But unfortunately, it takes a lot of folks that have, you know, back to blue types, all of them to actually have to say the people that we have been protecting are the folks that are responsible for the destruction right now. 0.98

00:13:42.000 It's not just that, Eric.

00:13:43.000 When we talk about this protection, we really have to look at it from all the kind of events that have been unfolding during the summer.

00:13:50.000 Right now, we have cops that are acting like tough guys roughing up a disabled U.S.

00:13:54.000 Army veteran.

00:13:56.000 Where were they?

00:13:57.000 When Black Lives Matter was rioting, breaking, looting, and destroying people's personal businesses. 0.99

00:14:02.000 They were there twiddling their thumbs, watching, standing by.

00:14:05.000 Fox News had it in New York City where people were just brazenly breaking into every store that they wanted.

00:14:10.000 Police officers on the same block were just literally standing there kicking rocks, not doing nothing.

00:14:15.000 So on the backdrop of that, are they really protecting us or are they really pushing a political agenda on all of us?

00:14:21.000 You know what?

00:14:22.000 I got no problem if the cops aren't going to protect New York City from itself.

00:14:26.000 I mean, my thing is about, you know, I get it.

00:14:30.000 I'm obviously, I'm an advocate, huge advocate of private property rights.

00:14:35.000 It's one thing for them, and this is why I've always said, like, look, I don't want a new law.

00:14:40.000 I don't want to sit up here and lecture the cops about what they should and shouldn't do.

00:14:45.000 I don't care for that.

00:14:47.000 How about this?

00:14:48.000 Allow free people to put that power more so back in their own hands.

00:14:54.000 So why can't they protect their own business?

00:14:56.000 It's essentially illegal there, right?

00:14:58.000 So if they, we saw that.

00:14:59.000 Minneapolis, pawn shop owner.

00:15:01.000 God comes and loots his store, he airs his... I almost said something, but he aired him out.

00:15:07.000 He aired him out.

00:15:08.000 He's the one that goes to jail, right?

00:15:11.000 For him defending because out there they have this sort of duty to retreat law out there. 0.96

00:15:15.000 So you can't, like I could in Texas, if you bust into my store I could shoot you.

00:15:19.000 Where in some places you cannot do that.

00:15:21.000 So that's what makes it a free-for-all that way.

00:15:24.000 And unfortunately people think the answer is, okay, we just need to send cops to go do this, this, and this.

00:15:30.000 And I'm like, it's less about that.

00:15:32.000 And more about people being free to, let's say, protect themselves and their own property.

00:15:37.000 If they had that freedom, they'd be more likely to exercise.

00:15:39.000 Like also in St.

00:15:40.000 Louis with that couple that walked out with firearms.

00:15:42.000 They're the ones that went to jail.

00:15:44.000 They're the ones that were prosecuted.

00:15:45.000 And the cops seized their guns.

00:15:47.000 They were on their own property.

00:15:49.000 People came in and they said, get out.

00:15:51.000 The cops took the guns from them.

00:15:53.000 They got arrested.

00:15:53.000 Yeah, New York City, you can't even have pepper spray.

00:15:56.000 You can't even legally own pepper spray, and then they're gonna tell you that the police officers are protecting and serving you.

00:16:01.000 Come on.

00:16:02.000 I'll say this.

00:16:02.000 I do think the laws are completely overbearing in places like New York, but one of the big problems is density.

00:16:07.000 So, you know, I'm driving, you know, around the middle of nowhere, and I'm wondering why it is, like, there's no cops anywhere in these areas, you know?

00:16:14.000 I was talking to somebody who mentioned, in some of these places, let's say, like, West Virginia, because we've been looking at property in West Virginia, so we've been, you know, kind of driving around a little bit.

00:16:22.000 They're like, there's no cops.

00:16:24.000 None.

00:16:24.000 And I'm like, then, where's the crime at?

00:16:26.000 Doesn't somebody, like, break on your property, and they're like, oh, look, it's shut.

00:16:29.000 Everybody knows it.

00:16:30.000 Yeah.

00:16:30.000 So you've got all of these houses in this neighborhood and I'm like, no crime, no crime.

00:16:33.000 Why not?

00:16:34.000 Well, if anyone goes anywhere near my house, I get shot.

00:16:36.000 Everybody knows it.

00:16:37.000 You want to walk on someone's property, you knock on the door politely and they'll come and answer the door with their shotgun.

00:16:41.000 If you break out of their property, start going through their garage. 0.92

00:16:44.000 You're gonna get shot. 0.99

00:16:45.000 Simple as that.

00:16:45.000 But, you know, in New York City, I guess the problem is density.

00:16:49.000 Everybody's stacked on top of each other.

00:16:50.000 Like, how would that work if someone broke into your apartment and you shot them and then bullets are going through apartments and stuff like that, you know?

00:16:55.000 Yeah, I mean, obviously that's the training portion and obviously there's a lot of libertarians out there trying to get people... You only sell hollow points in New York City.

00:17:03.000 Exactly.

00:17:04.000 Right, right.

00:17:05.000 So you're not actually shooting 5.56, just shooting through a wall.

00:17:09.000 No, no, but there you go.

00:17:09.000 You just had gun control.

00:17:11.000 No.

00:17:13.000 I'm trying to get me in a corner here.

00:17:16.000 I'm being facetious. I'm being facetious.

00:17:18.000 But no, but for real, like, you know, if you're out in the middle of nowhere, you can have, like, an AR-15.

00:17:23.000 And that might make sense. You got a massive property. Let's say you live on 50 acres of small house,

00:17:28.000 and you see someone going through, like, your barn or whatever.

00:17:30.000 It might make sense to have a rifle you can use from far away so you don't have to encounter whoever this person is.

00:17:34.000 They might be armed, they might be dangerous.

00:17:36.000 What if you get reports that there's armed groups going around raiding, looting places?

00:17:40.000 You want a gun that's gonna have decent range to keep you safe, right?

00:17:42.000 Or a wild animal.

00:17:43.000 Or a bear or something, right?

00:17:45.000 But if you're in a small apartment in New York City, you're in a concrete box stacked on top of each other, If you have an AR or, you know, five, five, six or whatever, that's going to, that's going to go through some walls.

00:17:55.000 You know what I mean?

00:17:55.000 Yeah.

00:17:56.000 I mean, again, as it goes back to the training, the training aspect, which is more, that's just as important.

00:18:00.000 We talk about gun control and all of that sort of thing.

00:18:03.000 Like, look, I want people to get trained on how to use their, their weaponry.

00:18:08.000 I want people to be able to exercise, uh, that particular right.

00:18:12.000 De-escalation is a big thing that I talk a lot about, but unfortunately when it comes to instances like New York and those cities, definitely those inner cities, They have been, it is literally illegal for them to defend themselves.

00:18:27.000 Like, it's illegal for them to do it.

00:18:28.000 That's why I think it should be illegal in New York City for police officers to have automatic weapons.

00:18:34.000 In New York City they have this hit squad, I forgot their exact name or their kind of tag or origin line, but they have these officers that look like Ninja Turtles and they walk around with automatic machine guns.

00:18:45.000 In New York City.

00:18:46.000 What kind of machine guns do you know?

00:18:48.000 I forgot exactly the exact make and model of what they had.

00:18:51.000 Like actual machine guns or just like select fire?

00:18:52.000 Full automatic assault, not assault rifles.

00:18:55.000 Assault is the made up term.

00:18:56.000 No, no, no.

00:18:57.000 Assault rifles are legit.

00:18:58.000 Assault weapon is the made up term.

00:18:59.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.98

00:19:00.000 Long barrel rifles that are fully automatic and I'm like, That's the, like, stupidest weapon you could have in Times Square with such a large crowd, especially if you're going to have a lot of innocent bystanders all around you. 0.80

00:19:13.000 And if you look at many of the police shootings in New York City, even with their handguns, they automatically shoot so many times, they're so untrained, that a lot of times innocent bystanders are hit. 0.97

00:19:24.000 So here we go.

00:19:24.000 If you're gonna ban guns, you're banning guns.

00:19:27.000 Not for certain people.

00:19:28.000 If New York City says you can't have these guns, then nobody can have them.

00:19:32.000 Not even the cops.

00:19:33.000 And that's why, but that's why that would never be a thing, because that's not what this is about.

00:19:37.000 They ultimately want that one institution, and even the leftists who advocate for gun control, I don't think they understand to the extent of what it is that they're advocating, right?

00:19:47.000 It's like, I don't want these guns to be on the street, and that's where the argument is.

00:19:51.000 It's like, I don't want you to have that gun, and they walk away.

00:19:54.000 But who's the one that's gonna enforce it?

00:19:56.000 What type of guns do they have?

00:19:58.000 What if I decide that, okay, this isn't up for grabs here?

00:20:01.000 What do you want them to do to me?

00:20:03.000 Well, when they start answering those questions, well, that institution should have better weapons than you. 0.97

00:20:09.000 That institution should be able to kill you in the event that you defend themselves.

00:20:13.000 So that's the thing, why I don't take leftists, a lot of mainstream leftists, seriously when they talk about police brutality, Or these sorts of concepts of gun control and all of that, because at the end of the day, they would send that same institution to go whoop up on someone in the event they needed to take away their gun.

00:20:32.000 Well, they have the illusion that government is there to protect and serve them.

00:20:36.000 It's not.

00:20:36.000 Yeah.

00:20:37.000 Sorry.

00:20:37.000 So I'm curious, man.

00:20:38.000 I wonder if all of this COVID stuff is going to make everybody a lot more right wing.

00:20:43.000 Well, but just to give you an example, like, people are forced to leave cities, right?

00:20:47.000 There's this viral post where somebody was like, I don't want to go back to normal.

00:20:50.000 I don't want the way normal was.

00:20:52.000 Standing shoulder to shoulder with people in a subway cart, breathing their spit and their sweat.

00:20:56.000 I don't want to walk crowded on sidewalks, unable to even, like, waiting in line to get a sandwich.

00:21:00.000 I don't want to go back to normal.

00:21:01.000 Normal was awful.

00:21:02.000 And they said, maybe I should move to the suburbs.

00:21:05.000 Maybe people are now realizing that being crammed in a concrete cubicle in a city that smells like sour milk stacked on top of each other isn't so fun.

00:21:14.000 And COVID's making everybody kind of spread out and move to other areas.

00:21:18.000 And that can be a good thing in the long run, because they're going to start having to do hard work to survive, and they're going to understand the value of what they've produced.

00:21:24.000 Well, whenever we have the changing of the guard, especially with U.S.

00:21:28.000 presidents, whenever it's a Republican president, usually the liberals kind of mobilize themselves and start getting activated.

00:21:34.000 We're going to see something very similar with Biden and a lot of conservatives and a lot of people leaning towards conservatives because Biden has that power.

00:21:41.000 He has already promised a hundred days of masks during his first days in office.

00:21:47.000 And, of course, he also appointed Dr. Fauci to a very prominent position with his administration.

00:21:52.000 Dr. Fauci, by the way, just came out moments ago and said, put aside the nonsense of making masks be a political statement or not.

00:21:59.000 We know it works.

00:22:02.000 Where's the evidence?

00:22:06.000 They keep saying, look, I got no problem wearing a mask.

00:22:08.000 It's meaningless to me, OK?

00:22:09.000 It's annoying.

00:22:10.000 Sometimes I go to the store.

00:22:11.000 I'll put it on.

00:22:11.000 How long am I really wearing it for?

00:22:12.000 10, 15 minutes?

00:22:13.000 I leave.

00:22:13.000 I take it off.

00:22:14.000 The issue is we've been wearing masks.

00:22:16.000 Exactly.

00:22:17.000 Doing another mask mandate is not going to change anything.

00:22:19.000 And they keep saying, well, this would all be over if people would just wear masks.

00:22:22.000 We've been wearing masks.

00:22:24.000 The data suggests it.

00:22:25.000 There are some instances where people don't wear it.

00:22:28.000 But what does that matter?

00:22:29.000 Y'all went out and were dancing around for Biden, taking your masks off and drinking champagne.

00:22:33.000 It's not only that, Tim.

00:22:36.000 It's the same people like Dr. Fauci that were telling you not to wear a mask because it doesn't help you.

00:22:42.000 The CDC head, don't wear a mask.

00:22:44.000 The same Dr. Fauci that was lying to you about herd immunity and all these other issues that was financing the gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

00:22:52.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:22:53.000 Fauci's lying now.

00:22:55.000 Yeah.

00:22:55.000 He's lying now.

00:22:56.000 He used to say 60 to 70 percent herd immunity in order for us to be back to normal.

00:23:02.000 Now he's saying, oh, I didn't really mean that.

00:23:04.000 I think people are ready to hear the truth.

00:23:06.000 75 to 85 percent.

00:23:07.000 Well, hold on.

00:23:08.000 The World Health Organization says 60 to 70.

00:23:11.000 So which is it?

00:23:12.000 Who's lying?

00:23:12.000 Well, YouTube says we have to abide by the World Health Organization guidelines.

00:23:17.000 That means Fauci's a liar. 0.82

00:23:19.000 Oh, yeah. 0.95

00:23:20.000 I don't care how many times Brad Pitt played him.

00:23:22.000 I'm not going to believe him.

00:23:23.000 Sorry.

00:23:24.000 Sorry, go ahead.

00:23:25.000 No, but with Fauci, I mean, he's moved the goalposts a million times.

00:23:28.000 And I just don't understand why people still are listening to this man.

00:23:32.000 Tribalism.

00:23:33.000 Because, you know, it's not like he's been correct necessarily on anything it is that we do.

00:23:37.000 But we hold this guy up to the, or more so worship him.

00:23:40.000 I don't.

00:23:41.000 But a lot of these guys worship him at the altar.

00:23:43.000 And we listen to everything it is that he's supposed to say.

00:23:46.000 Never mind the fact that he's been virtually wrong.

00:23:48.000 I don't know how many times. There's a viral video showing everything he said that's been

00:23:52.000 contradicted and I'll tell you what it is. On the left they say he's this great and honorable,

00:23:57.000 you know, genius who's guiding us to safety and they trust him. Many people on the right,

00:24:01.000 because I don't want, I don't think the right for the most part is a monolith in this regard,

00:24:06.000 they say that he's, you know, crooked, corrupt, he's profiting and all that.

00:24:09.000 Hold on. 0.94

00:24:10.000 Everybody needs to chill.

00:24:11.000 Fauci, I'll tell you exactly what he does, because I read the news nonstop, all day, every day.

00:24:15.000 He waits two days and then repeats whatever he heard from the mainstream media.

00:24:20.000 That's why he's behind the times.

00:24:21.000 So I see these interviews where he's like, you don't need a mask.

00:24:24.000 You know, you don't know when you're going around wearing this and I'm like he's just repeating the talking point

00:24:27.000 that came out in The New York Times two days ago and then as soon as the

00:24:30.000 mask thing is like, oh actually we should wear masks Then two days after the story breaks and we're given the

00:24:35.000 guidelines. He goes. Well, you really should wear is that it?

00:24:38.000 You just wait for the news to feel safe about what your opinion is and then you give your opinion

00:24:42.000 That's not really an expert giving us an expert opinion. No, he's just repeating the news. Well, dr

00:24:46.000 Fauci has been around for a very long time He's been advising many presidents, and I think it's very important to also note that he was the individual funding and backing the Level 4 Wuhan laboratory when it came to risky coronavirus research, specifically gain-of-function research, trying to figure out how to make a deadly bat coronavirus infect human beings. 0.98

00:25:09.000 That's what he was doing months before, of course, the main coronavirus.

00:25:13.000 That was actually, I think, New York That was Newsweek as well.

00:25:16.000 That was back in April.

00:25:20.000 The funding stopped in 2019 and he funded them to the tune of $7.4 million.

00:25:26.000 You know what's crazy?

00:25:27.000 It was Washington Post that actually ran the op-ed asking the question about the origins of the virus in this lab.

00:25:32.000 It was the Washington Post!

00:25:34.000 And I reported on it, and they tried claiming that I was pushing conspiracies, and I was like, oh, no, no, I was criticized, trust me. 0.98

00:25:40.000 I was saying, they're crazy, of course they're crazy.

00:25:42.000 I'm the smart one telling the Washington Post, I'm saying they're fake news, right? 0.89

00:25:46.000 They were allowed to report it.

00:25:48.000 And if I say that, they say I'm wrong.

00:25:50.000 Trump sees a report from TechCrunch on Z-Pac and hydroxychloroquine, and he repeats it.

00:25:55.000 He says, oh, I saw this story, you know, it looks promising. 0.97

00:25:58.000 And then they're like, oh, Trump's crazy, he's lying, he's wrong. 0.94

00:26:00.000 And I'm like, he's just telling you what he saw on the news, man. 0.97

00:26:03.000 But listen, listen, we got all these people snapping off.

00:26:06.000 They're getting sick and tired of lockdowns.

00:26:08.000 Joe Biden's saying the lockdown's not gonna stop.

00:26:10.000 Well, I'm sorry, he said, we're gonna listen to the science.

00:26:13.000 And his science advisor says, what did he say, six months?

00:26:16.000 Then we got Bill Gates and Fauci saying 2022.

00:26:19.000 Now we got this from The Guardian.

00:26:21.000 The World Health Organization warns COVID-19 pandemic is not necessarily the big one.

00:26:27.000 Experts tell end-of-year media briefing that virus is likely to become endemic and the world will have to learn to live with it.

00:26:35.000 Now does that mean that we're all gonna chill out, reduce the lockdowns, take some precautions, maybe get a vaccine?

00:26:42.000 Or does it mean we're locked down forever?

00:26:45.000 I think it's locked down forever.

00:26:45.000 I think, well no, I mean they've shown that it will, when I say it works, not that it actually helps in mitigating whatever spread, it works is in the fact that They can control you.

00:26:57.000 They know that they can do that.

00:26:58.000 That's a thing that they can do.

00:26:59.000 They can shut everything down and do whatever it is that they want and that's what they were allowed to do.

00:27:06.000 So I think that is what people are going to see as the new normal because unfortunately 10, even a decade ago, it's just unreal.

00:27:14.000 Could you just imagine someone being like yeah there's going to be this virus that It's like a 99.9% survival rate, and we're gonna shut not just this country down, but multiple countries down.

00:27:25.000 We're just gonna shut down the small businesses and allow the big corporate buddies to be open. 0.89

00:27:31.000 And you can still go out and dance for Biden.

00:27:33.000 Yeah, and you can of course protest for black lives if that's your thing as well.

00:27:38.000 That's also on the table.

00:27:40.000 They recognize that it works, and the people that are in control, for whatever reason, the people that we listen to, whether they're a health expert or not, I mean, Bill Gates, I mean, I'm always seeing him on TV lecturing us about this issue as well.

00:27:52.000 But that's what it is that they want, and this is why I say that civil disobedience, man, is like... 0.98

00:27:57.000 I know I got called a conspiracy theorist very early on in this pandemic when I talked about, like, dude, if you idiots think that it's just gonna be two weeks, I'm sorry. 0.97

00:28:07.000 We know that there's no such thing as a temporary government program. 0.98

00:28:10.000 They're going to kick the can down the road again, and they still didn't listen.

00:28:14.000 I gotta stop you, Eric, and this misinformation, or I shouldn't say misinformation, I should say, you know, how dare you criticize Bill Gates?

00:28:22.000 It is a long-standing tradition in this country to turn to software developers for their expertise in epidemiology.

00:28:28.000 It's true.

00:28:28.000 Now Bill Gates, who's more qualified than to talk about a virus than a guy who made a bunch of computer programs?

00:28:36.000 There's viruses on computers!

00:28:37.000 Different kind of virus.

00:28:40.000 Same word, right?

00:28:43.000 I wonder how many people who hate me are gonna take that out of context.

00:28:49.000 Anyway, here's the main point with the story though.

00:28:52.000 They're just saying it's gonna get worse, right?

00:28:54.000 You guys remember that V for Vendetta scene where the Chancellor is like, I want them to know why they need us!

00:29:01.000 And then it shows all the news clips playing.

00:29:03.000 And there's like the guy in the bar and he's watching the story.

00:29:06.000 And he goes, do you believe this bollocks?

00:29:08.000 And like people are shaking their head at it.

00:29:10.000 So I see these stories where they're like, COVID will keep mutating and will only get worse.

00:29:13.000 And we don't know if the vaccine is going to help.

00:29:15.000 And now we got a couple of stories I want to show you to exemplify this.

00:29:18.000 The first one is this one from the New York Times.

00:29:21.000 Small number of COVID patients develop severe psychotic symptoms.

00:29:26.000 Most had no history of mental illness and became psychotic weeks after contracting the virus.

00:29:32.000 Cases are expected to remain rare, but are being reported worldwide.

00:29:36.000 All right, there's one more story I got to show you, but I got a question for this.

00:29:38.000 When those people got Bell's palsy, they said, oh, but only a few people got Bell's palsy from the vaccine.

00:29:43.000 It's not a big deal.

00:29:45.000 So a couple people get psychotic symptoms and they think it's, it's, it's, you know, major New York times published a story, boom, breaking.

00:29:51.000 I see the story.

00:29:52.000 And at this point, I'm just like, are you kidding me, dude?

00:29:54.000 They're saying COVID causes blood clots.

00:29:56.000 Your, your, your feet scab up, you know, you can't breathe forever.

00:29:59.000 Infertility, your heart stops and you go psychotic. 0.96

00:30:02.000 It does all these things.

00:30:03.000 Calm down, man.

00:30:04.000 If that's true, then we're in serious trouble.

00:30:05.000 Right.

00:30:06.000 But, but to be fair, okay, maybe it is true.

00:30:07.000 That's why they're all freaking out.

00:30:09.000 Okay.

00:30:09.000 But it kind of does feel like they're just inundating with this stuff.

00:30:12.000 And that's exemplified by this next story.

00:30:15.000 From ABC News, nurse tests positive for COVID-19 shortly after getting vaccinated.

00:30:22.000 You mean to tell me they get the vaccine, and then eight days later, they get sick, and they say, this scenario isn't unexpected.

00:30:29.000 Here's how it could have happened.

00:30:30.000 Maybe they already had the virus before getting the vaccine.

00:30:34.000 But I'll tell you what this story is.

00:30:36.000 More fear.

00:30:37.000 I'm sorry, the vaccine.

00:30:38.000 Why is ABC News telling us the vaccine?

00:30:41.000 They're putting out the story that questions whether the vaccine's gonna work.

00:30:45.000 They want us terrified so that we just give in and say, do whatever you want, government, shut everything down forever, and let people just wallow in it.

00:30:52.000 That's exactly what they want, but I mean, look.

00:30:55.000 This is why it was so important that no matter where you were at on this issue, I mean, I understand there was a lot of people that were freaking out early on.

00:31:03.000 Like, you didn't know much about the virus.

00:31:05.000 Okay, let's just say for the sake of conversation, though, the numbers were out coming out of South Korea, and even China, they said the same thing.

00:31:12.000 Believe them or not, they actually said the same thing as far as who it impacted, how deadly it actually was.

00:31:20.000 But that's why it was so important there.

00:31:22.000 to say no like you had to do it then because if you didn't do it then you showed them you showed the state you showed the uh uh whether it be local governments the governors the every congresswoman and man you showed them that that's all that it take takes is to scare you That's all it- when do they report good news?

00:31:39.000 Wouldn't it be fantastic news for them to say, yeah, not mo- the vast- and when I say vast majority of people that catch this, like, it's not even close.

00:31:49.000 Like, the vast majority of cat- that catch this will never have to go to the hospital, and they will never get severely sick.

00:31:55.000 That's not my opinion.

00:31:56.000 their own their own data says most importantly you brought up a very

00:31:59.000 important point before saying that there's too many things going for the

00:32:03.000 elites for them to stop this they're benefiting absolutely too much and then

00:32:07.000 also when you look at V for Vendetta it is eerily eerily very similar to what's

00:32:13.000 And just to remind you, in V for Vendetta, it's where the government created a virus and used it to seize power over its people.

00:32:20.000 And there was one incident of police brutality that sparked a national protest and led a larger revolt against the government.

00:32:27.000 That was V for Vendetta.

00:32:28.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:32:28.000 We're not there yet.

00:32:29.000 Yeah.

00:32:30.000 That's what's freaky.

00:32:30.000 Yeah.

00:32:31.000 What happens on January 6th?

00:32:34.000 We'll talk about this in greater detail.

00:32:35.000 I don't want to derail the conversation, but let me just say, man, What happens on January 5th when the Democrats win in Georgia?

00:32:42.000 Assuming they do.

00:32:42.000 And then all these Trump supporters hear the Democrats now control everything.

00:32:46.000 And they're in D.C.

00:32:47.000 and they're angry.

00:32:48.000 They got nothing to lose.

00:32:49.000 They're desperate.

00:32:49.000 Their property's gone.

00:32:50.000 Their businesses are gone.

00:32:51.000 Their savings is gone.

00:32:52.000 I'll tell you this, man.

00:32:54.000 It's all tied together.

00:32:55.000 It's just like V for Vendetta where he says, I could see it all tied together like, you know, a web or whatever.

00:32:59.000 You've got people.

00:33:01.000 I remember watching a video.

00:33:03.000 Wait, let me slow down.

00:33:04.000 I went to a bunch of Trump rallies, 2015-2016, and I met a bunch of people who were voting for Trump.

00:33:09.000 Some of them were Bernie Sanders supporters.

00:33:11.000 When the Democrats gave it to Hillary, took it from Bernie, some of them went to Trump.

00:33:15.000 They said because Bernie and Trump were the only ones talking about the trade agreements and bringing back these jobs.

00:33:19.000 I remember talking to one dude who was probably like early 50s.

00:33:23.000 And he was saying, you know, this was in Janesville, Wisconsin, and he was talking about how his job was gone, gone overseas.

00:33:29.000 And Trump's talking about bringing these factories back and bringing back, you know, his livelihood, his town, and that's what he's voting for.

00:33:34.000 And then I remember seeing a video from a couple years, like a year and a half or so into Trump's presidency.

00:33:39.000 It was a dude crying.

00:33:41.000 It was like a middle-aged guy crying, saying before Trump, I lost my job.

00:33:46.000 My savings has completely diminished.

00:33:49.000 The college fund for my kids, we were eating into it.

00:33:53.000 And I knew that not only was I on the verge of not giving my kids a future, we were on the verge of homelessness.

00:33:58.000 Until Trump came in and started putting in these rules, these tariffs, negotiating these trade agreements.

00:34:03.000 And then my companies, these companies start coming back to my area.

00:34:06.000 It's like, now I'm working again.

00:34:07.000 Now I'm saving again.

00:34:09.000 Now I know that I have my safety net back, and it's thanks to Donald Trump.

00:34:11.000 And the guy was in tears.

00:34:12.000 Not bawling his eye out like crying, but he was like, you know, his tears coming down his face, where he's like, Thank you, Donald Trump.

00:34:16.000 You've saved my life.

00:34:16.000 I can't believe it.

00:34:18.000 I imagine that video, and I've talked about that one so many times over the past several years, is one guy having his life turned around, or the people in Michigan, when the car factory started coming back and reinvesting in the Detroit area.

00:34:28.000 Now those people are being told, it's all being taken away from you.

00:34:33.000 Remember that episode of South Park where Cartman gets a million dollars?

00:34:35.000 You ever see that one?

00:34:36.000 He gets a million dollars, and he buys a theme park with it, and then Kyle's all like, you know, why?

00:34:41.000 It's not fair, God.

00:34:42.000 Why would you give Cartman, the worst person in the world, a million dollars?

00:34:44.000 But then Cartman loses the million dollars, and he's miserable, and he's crying, and he's screaming.

00:34:49.000 I'm not trying to equate the hard-working people there.

00:34:51.000 Cartman, don't get me wrong.

00:34:52.000 I'm just saying, you have people who are desperate, and Donald Trump comes in, and in 2019, we get the best economy of our lives.

00:34:58.000 So says Jim Cramer, if you take his word for it.

00:35:01.000 These people are getting their jobs back.

00:35:02.000 They're getting back on track.

00:35:03.000 Then COVID hits.

00:35:04.000 The Democrat governors destroy everything, shut it all down, take away your job, take away your property, your chance at life.

00:35:09.000 And now you're going back, backwards.

00:35:12.000 Now we got CNBC story says they interviewed a hundred investors, like wealth management funds.

00:35:18.000 Two thirds believe under Biden, the economy is going to tank or it's going to start going down.

00:35:22.000 It's going to get bad.

00:35:23.000 Now these people are watching everything being stripped away.

00:35:27.000 Are they going to show up in DC?

00:35:28.000 And are they going to be really, really angry?

00:35:30.000 I kind of think so.

00:35:32.000 I mean, it can go either way, but until people... I don't see this issue being resolved until people really understand what the hell is going on.

00:35:40.000 You know, it's...

00:35:43.000 It's not just, you know, I get it.

00:35:45.000 He thought Trump was the nuke in the system.

00:35:47.000 I never assumed that, never thought that he was, never supported him.

00:35:51.000 I mean, I could say that for any politician for that matter.

00:35:54.000 But the idea that these institutions continue to grow in power, and that includes Trump, you know, with his executive orders, that's going to set the scene up, precedent being set for Joe Biden to come and basically do the same thing, just may not be working out to the people's benefit.

00:36:13.000 So, this is why, if it keeps going that route, the most peaceful way is, to me, a separation.

00:36:22.000 Like, this idea that we all have to share this one government, though we hate each other to this point, makes no sense whatsoever.

00:36:31.000 This is why they're control freaks.

00:36:32.000 They're control freaks.

00:36:34.000 It's not about people being free. 0.99

00:36:36.000 I don't care what Dumb crap they throw out there, acting as if they give a crap about someone being free and liberty and all these concepts, no matter what side of the political spectrum that they claim to be on. 0.98

00:36:48.000 The issue here is that these folks have this power, right? 0.99

00:36:52.000 This territorial monopoly, right?

00:36:54.000 On use of force, violence, and ultimate decision-making.

00:36:57.000 And they say, we want that.

00:36:59.000 And we want to implement that.

00:37:00.000 We want to utilize that to implement these crazy things that you see going on, shutting folks down, doing whatever it is.

00:37:06.000 And it's always claiming to be benefiting the people that are around them.

00:37:11.000 This is why I say at some point, maybe this isn't working.

00:37:14.000 Now that doesn't mean even once we split we can't have a deal that says, okay, you got my back, I got yours.

00:37:20.000 But we're not sharing a government.

00:37:21.000 It makes no sense for us to share a government. 0.95

00:37:23.000 Well, weeks ago I was talking about this, and talking about a peaceful divorce, and people were like, you're crazy.

00:37:29.000 Now, I see more and more people talking about it, because when you look at the government, it really looks like there's elements that are trying to take away people's ability to fend for themselves.

00:37:38.000 Absolutely.

00:37:39.000 Especially with the latest news from the IRS today, that is planning a 50% increase in audits of small businesses.

00:37:46.000 Small businesses!

00:37:47.000 Small businesses, yes.

00:37:49.000 The IRS is literally hiring additional staff right now to conduct 50% more audits on small businesses, literally wiping out anyone who survived and was left over.

00:37:59.000 That's unbelievable.

00:38:01.000 Meanwhile, Amazon and Walmart are allowed to be open.

00:38:03.000 They barely pay any taxes themselves.

00:38:05.000 How many audits do they do per year on small businesses?

00:38:09.000 I think the important question is, what if they only do 10 audits?

00:38:13.000 I highly doubt that.

00:38:14.000 I'm just saying, what if out of, you know, we got 100, we got what, 225 working people in this country, how many of them own small businesses?

00:38:22.000 It's an important question to ask, how many audits do they do?

00:38:25.000 Because 50%, that's a percentage.

00:38:27.000 Either way, either way, I think it's... Well, yeah, I mean, the problem is, it's like they're going after the little guy.

00:38:32.000 I don't want to defend the IRS, I'm just saying, let's do it.

00:38:34.000 The idea is obviously that they're going after the little guy, after the little guys that have been utterly destroyed this past year.

00:38:41.000 That's what they've been doing.

00:38:42.000 So I get it, I totally understand why someone would look at that and I hate the IRS and look at that

00:38:47.000 and be like, hey man, what are y'all doing?

00:38:50.000 But no, there's something wrong with this and the minute I can get Americans to understand that,

00:38:57.000 the better off we're gonna be.

00:38:58.000 But a lot of them are control freaks.

00:38:59.000 A lot of them just want, it's not about liberty, it's about more so control.

00:39:04.000 So I want to be able to force that person on the other side of the aisle to do what I want them to do.

00:39:10.000 And they can't see a world where it's like, okay, why don't you go do that?

00:39:14.000 And I'm just gonna go do that.

00:39:16.000 crazy. This is the thing, right? You got states like Wyoming. That's the, the, the, the, the,

00:39:22.000 the most Trump state in the country. Granted they only have like 550 million people,

00:39:26.000 550,000 people, not million in the state. That'd be a massive state by the way. No, no, no. 550,000

00:39:32.000 people in that state. So it's not the biggest, it's, it's the most Trump support of any state.

00:39:36.000 And then I think West Virginia, it doesn't make sense that they're going to pass, you know,

00:39:40.000 Joe Biden wants to ban all online sales of ammo, of ammo, accessories, and guns.

00:39:44.000 I'm like, well, that might make sense for New York.

00:39:46.000 We talked about it.

00:39:47.000 You know, what do you, what do you do if someone's breaking into your little concrete cubicle?

00:39:51.000 It smells like sour milk.

00:39:52.000 Maybe it doesn't make sense to fire, you know, 556, which might go through the wall, but people will, might do it if they're, if they just have it.

00:39:59.000 So then there's questions about density.

00:40:01.000 But if you're in West Virginia, if you're in Wyoming, it definitely makes sense to have, you know, an AR-15 when you're dealing with animals.

00:40:07.000 In fact, I don't even know, depending on which AR you're using, what kind of ammo can you use.

00:40:10.000 You might not even be able to actually stop a large bear or some animal that's attacking your home.

00:40:14.000 You might need some serious firepower for that.

00:40:17.000 So in New York, they're like, these politicians say, we need to ban all these guns. 0.99

00:40:20.000 How stupid must you be to have like a 458, you know, SOCOM or 450 Bushmaster or something in New York City? 1.00

00:40:27.000 And then somebody who's in the middle of the wilderness is like, are you nuts? 1.00

00:40:29.000 I definitely need that stopping power.

00:40:31.000 Why is that law going to affect them? 0.95

00:40:33.000 Right.

00:40:33.000 But that, and that's the problem.

00:40:34.000 Like, why do we have this setup where everybody can pack, pack up, whether it be in Washington or wherever they're at, and they can vote.

00:40:42.000 Law, vote in laws or rather legislation that can impact people in Wyoming.

00:40:47.000 That doesn't make sense.

00:40:48.000 That doesn't make any sort of sense when you break it down like that.

00:40:50.000 But we just for the longest have accepted it like that's what it is.

00:40:53.000 I think right now what we're seeing is how much of a problem it actually is when you get people that are ruled over by folks that they hate.

00:41:02.000 We saw that definitely over the last four years, how the leftists just went utterly insane because a guy, never mind, he's actually probably more like them than any Republican president before.

00:41:12.000 They don't even understand that.

00:41:14.000 That's why they hate him.

00:41:15.000 Maybe they see an image of themselves coming into fruition.

00:41:20.000 But no, that's the problem.

00:41:21.000 And I think that we have to realistically talk about that as a legitimate solution.

00:41:26.000 Like, why does it have to be that we all share this particular government?

00:41:31.000 And it's a lot easier.

00:41:32.000 We accept the idea that it's a lot easier for Americans to fight the federal government as opposed to, let's say, the, I don't know, the United Nations or something like that.

00:41:42.000 And it's obviously a lot easier for me being out of Texas to Fight the Texas government as opposed to the federal government.

00:41:49.000 Why is it that we all have to share this government?

00:41:51.000 It's just like because we don't.

00:41:52.000 I'll put it this way, right?

00:41:54.000 There's definitely too much federalization happening because we could have one federal government so long as the states had more guarantees and more protections.

00:42:04.000 The problem is the battle is increasingly over the national control.

00:42:10.000 Nobody cares about their local politicians. 0.72

00:42:13.000 Their city falls to crap, and so they talk about voting for someone for Congress, and I'm like, but Congress is federal voting, not local. 0.86

00:42:19.000 You want someone to clean up your state, vote for your state representatives. 0.97

00:42:21.000 You want better representation where you live, and you gotta vote locally.

00:42:24.000 And that's why I think that the complete removal of that would have people focusing, people would be more narrowly focused on What's around them as opposed to acting like Bernie Sanders is going to save their lives?

00:42:36.000 But that's how it used to be.

00:42:38.000 It used to be that the president was chosen for the most part.

00:42:41.000 This is a figurehead!

00:42:43.000 Well, the legislature of the states ultimately, you know, were deciding who was going to be the elector for the state.

00:42:50.000 And that the senators were voted on by, I believe it was the legislature.

00:42:54.000 It was appointment, essentially.

00:42:56.000 They started changing these rules to make it more about popular vote, popular vote, to make America more of one federalized nation than individual states.

00:43:04.000 It doesn't work in the long run, and it doesn't work in Europe either.

00:43:07.000 The crazy thing is, we've been a country for a lot longer than the European Union's been around.

00:43:10.000 But one of the biggest problems, because I've been all over Europe, and I hear from a lot of people in Spain.

00:43:15.000 I've been to Spain, I've been to Germany, I've been to Netherlands, I've been to the UK, I've been to France.

00:43:19.000 They tell me, at Greece, one of the challenges, I was in Greece, and I was asking this dude, he was a Uber driver, and he was talking about how the economy is really, really bad, it's really hard to make any money, and I was like, but can't you just move to, like, London?

00:43:31.000 And he goes, I'm Greek, I don't want to move to London.

00:43:34.000 And I was like, but it's the EU, you know, you could go, and the jobs are better, and they're like, no, I'm Greek, man, I'm not British.

00:43:40.000 They don't view themselves the same way.

00:43:41.000 They don't want to live under the same rules.

00:43:42.000 They don't want to eat the same food.

00:43:43.000 They're very different people.

00:43:44.000 And there's nothing wrong with that.

00:43:46.000 No, for sure.

00:43:46.000 Right, but that's the... But just to finish my point, in the U.S.

00:43:49.000 it's very, very similar.

00:43:51.000 People in West Virginia want to go hunting with their gigantic rifles.

00:43:54.000 It's a different place for... I know you can say this because you've traveled and I know you especially, Luke.

00:43:59.000 We can all say this for those of us that travel.

00:44:02.000 You can be in even certain parts of a state and it's like night and day.

00:44:07.000 Like, I lived in Corpus Christi.

00:44:10.000 Corpus Christi is nothing like Dallas-Fort Worth, for those of you that don't know.

00:44:15.000 And unfortunately, because of this hyper-emphasis on, like, they talk about this diversity thing, right?

00:44:22.000 And it has nothing to do with thought or anything like that.

00:44:24.000 What they really want is this different colors and different genders of people saying the same thing.

00:44:29.000 Yes!

00:44:30.000 Right?

00:44:30.000 That's exactly what they want.

00:44:33.000 Where I've been, it's gotten me in trouble a lot.

00:44:35.000 Like, I embrace those differences.

00:44:37.000 There's nothing wrong with the fact that people on that side of the country, they just act different.

00:44:42.000 They're culturally different.

00:44:43.000 What they value is a little different.

00:44:46.000 So again, why is it that we're trying to do this?

00:44:49.000 That was the problem with COVID, we saw this.

00:44:51.000 It was a one-size-fits-all approach.

00:44:53.000 Why are we treating New York?

00:44:55.000 I mean, at some point it was kind of a shift, but why was New York being treated like Texas?

00:44:59.000 Like it's not the same like they don't have a live even even in New York like upstate versus New York City They're not the same so I'll put it this way man because we've talked about the peaceful divorce scenario It's it's pretty popular a lot in the sense that a lot of people are talking about it And we brought we brought us up a couple times, but I'm I'll say this man they like the left likes to say that the red states will be a third world country and I've talked about how cool is that ancient technologies YouTube channel where the guy builds mud huts and like clay pots and stuff I'm like I'm totally down to build my own little cabin and you know we're talking about getting this massive farmland like open land in West Virginia just so we can build and do our thing use our hands and and have our own space start from scratch

00:45:42.000 Yeah, Bill just like that sounds fun.

00:45:45.000 No, I'm not worried about going in New York City I haven't lived in New York City in a couple in several years now.

00:45:50.000 I got out of there I was like, I don't like you know at a certain point I really liked the idea of being in this dense urban jungle and our concrete jungle and then at a certain point I was like, I can't do anything.

00:46:00.000 No, you can't you can't do anything.

00:46:01.000 I couldn't even have a moped I couldn't you couldn't even drive a car.

00:46:04.000 There's there's you can't even park in Manhattan. 0.98

00:46:06.000 I'm like this sucks. 0.94

00:46:07.000 Yeah You can't get around. 0.98

00:46:09.000 You know, it's really funny.

00:46:10.000 You know, we're out in the middle of nowhere, but we're still really close to like a good airport and I was worried.

00:46:14.000 I'm like, man, it's pretty far away.

00:46:15.000 And then I realized if you live in New York City, if we did this show in New York City and we wanted to fly in a guest, if you were in Brooklyn, for instance, Williamsburg, maybe popular hipster area.

00:46:26.000 No matter what airport someone lands at, it's like an hour or two hours to get there.

00:46:30.000 It's only like five or seven miles.

00:46:32.000 That's how jammed up and congested and awful these cities are.

00:46:36.000 Sitting in a car in traffic with stoplights, you can't move, ten bucks to go through the tunnel or whatever.

00:46:41.000 I'm just like, dude, I want to live in the mountains.

00:46:43.000 And it's crazy how, considering that, There are actually people that want to move towards a direct democracy where folks in areas like that get to rule over or more so make rules on behalf.

00:46:57.000 They want to get rid of the electoral college.

00:46:59.000 I think we really have to understand here that collective centralization is psychotic.

00:47:03.000 I think we just need to understand that it's crazy.

00:47:07.000 It's insane if you think that one person could know what's best for everyone.

00:47:12.000 And that's basically the idea of the left, of communists, of more and more progressive leaders that think that they know what's best for you.

00:47:22.000 And there's two groups of people, the people who believe that and the people who just want to be left alone.

00:47:26.000 Create two separate territories.

00:47:28.000 Let people who want to be left alone on this side.

00:47:30.000 People who don't want to be left alone.

00:47:31.000 Love the nanny state.

00:47:32.000 Love being told what to do. 0.50

00:47:34.000 Love getting slapped around.

00:47:35.000 Like getting their toys taken away.

00:47:37.000 Like being fined and penalized for living their life like they do.

00:47:40.000 If you like that, you like dominatrix or whatever, you go to that side of the country.

00:47:46.000 It's okay.

00:47:46.000 I don't blame you.

00:47:47.000 I'm a free mind person.

00:47:49.000 You do whatever you gotta do.

00:47:50.000 Can't you do this in parts of Mexico?

00:47:52.000 Like, aren't there places where there's, like, no cops and you can just, like, do your thing?

00:47:55.000 Like in Tehran, yes.

00:47:56.000 Tehran, I visited there personally.

00:47:59.000 I did a little small documentary on it on my YouTube channel.

00:48:02.000 And it's a city of 30,000 people that kicked out the police, kicked out the government, and in doing so, kicked out the cartel.

00:48:10.000 And it was in one of the most dangerous states, Michoacán, where people were dying more than anywhere else in all of Mexico.

00:48:17.000 Now, that city, Cherán, is one of the safest places in all of Mexico, even though it's surrounding by all this violence.

00:48:24.000 And there wasn't a murder there within seven years, ever since they got rid of this.

00:48:28.000 And they live under a kind of anarchistic system, but they have community meetings and they decide what's best for them as an individual and they are armed to the teeth and the Mexican government keeps trying to disarm them but they say no and they have their own checkpoints literally banning politicians and banning any political slogans any political banners any political stickers if you have a political sticker and you want to enter their town they're going to make you take it off

00:48:53.000 Wow.

00:48:53.000 Let me give a shout out to those Antifa leftists who are constantly saying very, very similar things.

00:49:03.000 That you don't need government, that you can live cooperatively and have community meetings and everyone gets by.

00:49:08.000 But, you know, I'll tell you the one thing that probably made me, like, I've always been fairly libertarian on a lot of policy issues.

00:49:15.000 Like, look, I'm a skateboarder, so I grew up in the city, and I'm like, skateboarders have a problem with authority, man.

00:49:22.000 They just want to be left alone.

00:49:23.000 But I go to West Virginia, and again, like I said, I'm driving around at all these houses everywhere, and I'm like, there's no cops.

00:49:30.000 None.

00:49:31.000 None.

00:49:32.000 I mean, there are sheriffs, I guess.

00:49:33.000 There are some cops.

00:49:35.000 But people are saying, oh man, if you call them, it's like an hour before they get here.

00:49:38.000 Now, I lived in Miami, and it was very much like that.

00:49:41.000 And the one thing you always hear about, like, where's the crime?

00:49:43.000 It's like, well, everybody's armed.

00:49:45.000 In an armed society, it's a pledge.

00:49:46.000 That's what they say, right?

00:49:47.000 West Virginia has some of the most Second Amendment-friendly kind of initiatives, more than, I think, you know, than the majority of the United States.

00:49:56.000 I remember we were driving through it, and I'm like, I haven't seen a police officer once.

00:50:00.000 And then you started laughing.

00:50:01.000 Like, yeah, I'm like, this is amazing.

00:50:03.000 This is awesome.

00:50:04.000 I like this place.

00:50:05.000 Why doesn't Antifa move to West Virginia, man? 0.96

00:50:06.000 Well, the thing is, they're frauds, man.

00:50:08.000 Let's be, I want to be clear. 0.94

00:50:10.000 They are complete frauds.

00:50:11.000 Those guys are, and I think maybe it does stem from them being so anti-private property 0.65

00:50:15.000 rights, but these guys have no problem with utilizing, like, when we talk about the Antifa

00:50:22.000 type, so these kind of progressive, uber-progressive claim to be anti, even they throw out the

00:50:27.000 slogans of defund the police, but really all they wanted to do was replace it with the

00:50:31.000 woke police.

00:50:32.000 Be the police.

00:50:33.000 Yeah, that was more so what it was.

00:50:34.000 That's what makes them frauds, and this is why I don't ally myself with them. 0.96

00:50:37.000 And Chad, there was, like, black children that were shot and killed. 0.98

00:50:40.000 Exactly.

00:50:41.000 Like, where's the outcry?

00:50:43.000 We, we, we were, uh, Luke and I were downstairs earlier, we're talking about setting up, like, getting this, like, 100 acres.

00:50:48.000 It's cheap, man!

00:50:49.000 100 acres in the middle of nowhere West Virginia is not expensive.

00:50:53.000 Especially if people come in, pool their resources.

00:50:55.000 And so we're talking about the fun things we can do, what we can build, have all this free space, just be left alone.

00:51:01.000 And I'm saying, where's the left to go and do this?

00:51:06.000 You want your commune?

00:51:07.000 You can build it.

00:51:08.000 But let me tell you a story.

00:51:09.000 And you might remember this.

00:51:11.000 During Occupy Wall Street, I've told this to the audience, you've probably not heard this, someone donated a farm to the occupiers, to the activists.

00:51:18.000 And so a bunch of these people moved upstate to live on this farm and be self-sufficient, self-sustainable.

00:51:25.000 And it was a leftist dream, man.

00:51:27.000 No pollution, no carbon.

00:51:28.000 You know, they were taking care of the animals and living off the earth.

00:51:31.000 They had collectives where they shared their own food.

00:51:33.000 And guess how long... I'm sure some of the people stayed for a long time.

00:51:37.000 It was a huge territory, by the way.

00:51:39.000 But let me say, of the people I knew at Occupy, how long do you think they lasted?

00:51:44.000 How long do you think they made it on this farm?

00:51:49.000 So they moved from the city urban liberals to a farm to live off the earth.

00:51:57.000 How long do you think they made it?

00:51:59.000 I think I'm actually overshooting.

00:52:01.000 I'm gonna say three months.

00:52:02.000 Two weeks.

00:52:04.000 Two weeks!

00:52:05.000 So I had some friends who came back.

00:52:08.000 I had some friends that were like, we're going to go live on this farm, man.

00:52:10.000 And they were talking about the banks ripping us off.

00:52:13.000 They're like, if we're working on the farm and we're growing our own food, we're not getting taxed on that.

00:52:17.000 They can't take that from us.

00:52:18.000 And so we're not going to contribute to climate change.

00:52:20.000 We're not going to contribute to these banks extracting our value.

00:52:23.000 And we're going to be relying on ourselves.

00:52:25.000 And then you know what happened when they came back?

00:52:27.000 I was like, you were gone for two weeks.

00:52:29.000 Like, what happened?

00:52:30.000 Wasn't it fun?

00:52:30.000 And they were like, dude, you wake up at 6am, you go to bed at midnight, and you're working non-stop the whole time.

00:52:36.000 No days off, never.

00:52:37.000 And I laughed.

00:52:38.000 And I'm like, what did you think it meant to live on a farm, dude?

00:52:41.000 Did you think you were gonna go there and put your feet up and chew on straws?

00:52:44.000 Yes, the apples from the tree.

00:52:46.000 The answer is yes.

00:52:47.000 Yes.

00:52:47.000 The answer is yes.

00:52:48.000 No, they seriously like.

00:52:49.000 I knew a whole lot.

00:52:49.000 I knew one or two people there that were good people.

00:52:52.000 No, they're hard.

00:52:53.000 It people, a bunch of people like totally were.

00:52:54.000 And but I do remember them saying they had this huge territory

00:52:58.000 and they were recruiting for it hard because no one went.

00:53:00.000 A few people went.

00:53:02.000 Two of the people were really great human beings.

00:53:05.000 And I think that there were some people that did stay on that farm and did eventually start working on the land and stood there a lot longer than two weeks.

00:53:13.000 But as you said, that doesn't really portray well.

00:53:15.000 But that's representative to me with the ideology and what it is that they...

00:53:21.000 When we talk about it being maybe a pipe dream.

00:53:24.000 I don't think these guys understand working and we talked about this in yesterday's show about how you know, they don't understand farming.

00:53:31.000 That's not anything that is even this is why it's so easy for them for someone like in Portland or something like that to just sit up here and say well you guys got all the money.

00:53:40.000 You guys got all the resources.

00:53:41.000 Just give us the resources.

00:53:42.000 They don't understand like How those resources get from point A to point B. That's not even... It's just because they have so easy access, thanks to the market being... We don't have a free market by any means.

00:53:55.000 It's freer than a lot of other places.

00:53:57.000 You know that song, Money for Nothing?

00:53:59.000 Yeah.

00:53:59.000 Money for nothing and the chicks for free.

00:54:02.000 It's this... My understanding of the song was that the... Was it the Rascal Flats who wrote that?

00:54:07.000 That they overheard some... Dire Straits.

00:54:08.000 Dire Straits.

00:54:09.000 What?

00:54:09.000 Rascal Flats?

00:54:10.000 Yeah, what is that?

00:54:11.000 Does that say more?

00:54:11.000 That's a country band.

00:54:12.000 I get that all.

00:54:12.000 I know you get it.

00:54:13.000 I have no idea what I'm talking about.

00:54:15.000 Anyway, apparently there were guys who were watching one of their music videos or something

00:54:19.000 like this and thought it was easy.

00:54:22.000 Like everything's always easy.

00:54:23.000 It reminds me of so many people who think, man, I'm in the wrong business.

00:54:27.000 I should be on YouTube.

00:54:28.000 It's so easy.

00:54:29.000 These people make so much money.

00:54:30.000 I get that.

00:54:31.000 I know you get it.

00:54:32.000 Oh yeah, it's just easy.

00:54:33.000 I'm like, all right, do it.

00:54:34.000 If it's that easy, then they don't.

00:54:37.000 Then they don't because they don't understand it.

00:54:40.000 They see the outcome more than anything.

00:54:42.000 They don't see the fact that you have to work beat on your craft or the grinding.

00:54:47.000 I was telling my followers today, I don't think y'all understand, Tim wakes up in the morning and gets to work.

00:54:54.000 Even now, even with him being a successful person, he gets up and he grinds just like we all do.

00:55:00.000 Come and do us.

00:55:01.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:55:01.000 We were screaming about just moments ago before we started the show.

00:55:04.000 I'm like, we got to go to this thing and do the hotel thing January 6th.

00:55:08.000 Yeah.

00:55:09.000 And you're like, no, man, I can't.

00:55:10.000 I got to work.

00:55:10.000 And which, you know, you got to respect Tim's work ethic because he works extremely hard.

00:55:14.000 I got to say that.

00:55:14.000 But also there's a similar trend with this ideology and people going hungry, whether it's the USSR, China, Venezuela, Zimbabwe.

00:55:22.000 I'm sorry.

00:55:22.000 I like to eat.

00:55:24.000 And a lot of other people like to eat too.

00:55:26.000 I made cookie cupcakes.

00:55:29.000 And this dude ate all of them.

00:55:30.000 I come from Poland, and in Poland, if there's food on the table, you eat it. 0.52

00:55:35.000 If you don't finish it, grandma's gonna hit you with a spoon over your head. 1.00

00:55:39.000 And why is that?

00:55:39.000 Because we went through starvation because of the USSR that literally brought in communism, welfare for the people, we're gonna take care of everyone, you're gonna have to buy everything on a piece of paper that the government mandates, literally starved so many people, and my family went through hell.

00:55:58.000 It goes back to what you were saying earlier about why it's so important.

00:56:02.000 Why do we advocate for freer markets and the division of labor and all of those things that a lot of progressives or communists would generally say is a bad thing.

00:56:11.000 It's this idea that a group even a group of people is what 330 plus million people in this country like this idea that a handful of people can just dictate how much something must cost how much something uh you know how we can allocate all of these resources for that many amount of people is insane and nowhere in history uh at definitely at well at least at that large of a scale

00:56:33.000 Has that worked?

00:56:34.000 You talked about the USSR.

00:56:36.000 You gotta understand what got them overages and shortages.

00:56:39.000 It's that central planning or this idea that if we can get a group of people, whether vote elected or someone came down with the iron fist, if we can get a group of people to force you all to give us the stuff and we allocate it, y'all gonna be alright.

00:56:52.000 But you're wrong.

00:56:53.000 You're wrong.

00:56:54.000 Where else would Sri Lanka get their speedboats if it wasn't for this system?

00:56:58.000 Where else would Pakistan get their gender studies? 1.00

00:57:01.000 Where else would there be book clubs in Pakistan and Afghanistan if it wasn't for our system?

00:57:07.000 Also, surrounding that important news about government spending, there's also a new article That is pretty fascinating.

00:57:13.000 No, but this this this next story ties in exactly what you were just saying about these leftists saying you've got the

00:57:18.000 resources Just give them to me not realizing all the work that goes

00:57:21.000 into it So the big news we have now that came out today is that

00:57:24.000 Mitch McConnell?

00:57:25.000 First of all, he objected to the $2,000 stimulus bill and everybody's complaining

00:57:30.000 Oh Mitch McConnell's blocking our stimulus or whatever Mitch McConnell and introduces

00:57:34.000 $2,000 aid checks bill tied to social media immunity and election fraud

00:57:40.000 This is really interesting stuff.

00:57:41.000 Basically, what Mitch McConnell is saying is, I'm not going to give you your blanket $2,000.

00:57:44.000 You're going to vote for my $2,000, and here's what it says as part of McConnell's bill.

00:57:49.000 Section 230, the social media immunity law would be repealed, and a commission on election fraud would be created.

00:57:56.000 The stimulus checks would be increased to $2,000 from the current $600.

00:58:00.000 Do you think they're going to vote for this?

00:58:02.000 Because this is interesting stuff.

00:58:04.000 I've been saying for a while, you know, Trump wants to repeal 230.

00:58:06.000 I think it's really, really bad.

00:58:07.000 majority House of Representatives.

00:58:09.000 McConnell's office was not immediately available for comment, blah blah blah.

00:58:12.000 Do you think they're going to vote for this?

00:58:13.000 Because this is interesting stuff.

00:58:14.000 I've been saying for a while, you know, Trump wants to repeal 230.

00:58:17.000 I think it's really, really bad.

00:58:19.000 But some conservatives made some really good points, and I'll tell you why I think it's

00:58:22.000 bad.

00:58:23.000 Repealing 230 means that it's the end of social media as we know it.

00:58:29.000 I think if I was going to be optimistic, this show would probably be fine because YouTube is trying to be like Netflix.

00:58:36.000 And they like this show.

00:58:38.000 They seem to like me and the people I associate with or whatever because it's safe, I suppose.

00:58:44.000 Well, YouTube doesn't seem to have a problem with you being on the show, right?

00:58:47.000 So here's the point.

00:58:48.000 If I was gonna, like, pitch something to Netflix, you know, I've actually had a lot of discussions, it's likely they'd probably pick something up.

00:58:55.000 So YouTube's gonna be like, this is a good show, we can keep this, we're safe.

00:58:58.000 But they're gonna get rid of all the smaller creators.

00:59:00.000 Your channel, Eric, might be at risk, because they're gonna be like, we don't know who this guy is, we don't care, and we don't want to get sued for libel and defamation.

00:59:06.000 So they're gonna get rid of anyone who's not approved.

00:59:08.000 Yeah.

00:59:08.000 So I think ultimately it's a bad idea, but what's interesting is a lot of conservatives brought up a really good point.

00:59:13.000 They said, Tim, we've already been purged.

00:59:16.000 It's only good for us.

00:59:17.000 If they get rid of it, if we're out, then so should, like, so I guess the way you put it is, if right now the media companies are favoring progressive ideals and restricting conservatives, then the best thing for conservatives is to nuke the whole system.

00:59:30.000 Because right now they're losing because of it.

00:59:32.000 Well, I think section 230 is going to be abused, especially under a Biden administration that has many high level tech executives within it.

00:59:42.000 And of course, they're going to be patting and patting each other on the back and helping each other out.

00:59:46.000 And of course, the little guys are going to get screwed over and everyone else is going to be allowed to do what they usually do.

00:59:51.000 Or it's just not going to be enforced like many of the laws that are just there on the books, but they're not really used at all.

00:59:57.000 So I think that's a probability that we have to understand here as well.

01:00:01.000 I don't know if they'd actually move to repeal it, but I know the Democrats are probably going, oh no, I can't believe they're going to repeal this.

01:00:08.000 Whatever will we do?

01:00:09.000 Because like I said, YouTube will allow my show to be around.

01:00:12.000 And you know what else is going to happen?

01:00:14.000 Take a look at Netflix.

01:00:15.000 Take a look at all of these big production companies.

01:00:18.000 What kind of movies are they making?

01:00:19.000 They're making Woke, and Far Left, and weird neoliberal whatever.

01:00:23.000 Yeah, they're making all of this stuff.

01:00:25.000 So if you get rid of the independent creators, that's what's left.

01:00:30.000 We're their competition, though.

01:00:32.000 I've long talked about that.

01:00:33.000 This is why channels like mine blew up over the course of the last couple of years because of that.

01:00:41.000 It's like a lot of folks are tired of that.

01:00:43.000 They're like, all right, we're being lectured all the time in the movies that we watch, the games that we play, the comic books that we read, and we don't want any of that.

01:00:51.000 But the issue, though, when we talk about like, I don't know, Uber, like tech companies that take these government, I would encourage you guys to look at that.

01:01:01.000 I know we talk about corporate welfare all the time, but just go look at how much these guys get in terms of, not even with the taxation, but just with like how they work with the government directly, be it in government contracts.

01:01:14.000 Like these big tech companies.

01:01:16.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:01:18.000 And why it is that they often favor Those more regulatory bodies because they're the ones that benefited we talked about we talked about that last show with I talked about the bail monopoly like that was what would happen They work with the state and then it sounds good.

01:01:34.000 It's like hey, we're protecting you net neutrality We're protecting you and then it's like no that actually does not benefit you they just worded it in their way This is supposed to benefit you this how the game works Mitch McConnell is coming at repealing 230 and an election fraud investigation from the left.

01:01:52.000 The left argument.

01:01:53.000 This is really interesting.

01:01:54.000 Give the people their $2,000 and repeal 230.

01:01:56.000 That's how they do it.

01:01:57.000 They give you money.

01:02:02.000 Now, I think, you know, part of me, I look at the repeal of 230 and, like, imagine if we got rid of social media.

01:02:08.000 We went back to the era of, like, four or five news channels.

01:02:11.000 Then you'd have the restoration of many news organizations and a balance of competition between perspectives and a more unified worldview for people in this country.

01:02:20.000 At least that's the idealistic, utopian vision of what might happen.

01:02:24.000 In reality, what'll happen is the progressive leftists who have already gone insane from their own platforms, like Jack Dorsey went nuts. 0.87

01:02:30.000 Jack Dorsey's own creation, Twitter, made him crazy. 0.82

01:02:33.000 And I mean it.

01:02:35.000 You can look at the things he believes and says, and it's a product of the far left swimming in a pool of their own filth.

01:02:42.000 And then they prop each other up.

01:02:44.000 The likes create more likes, create more shares, more retweets, and then it spirals out of control, and then he starts believing the refuse coming out of his own platform.

01:02:52.000 That will be what's left.

01:02:53.000 There won't be this perfect system of restoring balance and bringing back regular and honest, independent voices.

01:02:59.000 Nope, it's too late.

01:03:00.000 There's a split.

01:03:02.000 I'll tell you this, man.

01:03:03.000 If they get rid of 230, and it really does result in more censorship and more banning, it would just accelerate everything.

01:03:09.000 I think though, when we talk about that and also the other pork though, you know, that we somehow stopped talking about.

01:03:17.000 Pakistani gender studies. 0.57

01:03:17.000 Yes, all of that stuff. 0.57

01:03:19.000 That's another way in how they pass stuff like that.

01:03:22.000 You're seeing an example of that.

01:03:24.000 It's like, how can we get them to focus on that?

01:03:27.000 Like, okay, they want a little more cash, bam, a little more cash.

01:03:30.000 And then it's like, all right, well, we'll give them $2,000.

01:03:33.000 But all of that garbage is still in there, right?

01:03:35.000 It's still there. 0.92

01:03:36.000 And I don't want to say we're not talking about it, but it's like, oh, hey, we're getting a raise on this free money that we just printed out in there.

01:03:44.000 But we're not talking about it.

01:03:45.000 That's how it gets passed.

01:03:46.000 It's like, if I can get you to focus on that, they do that with titles of bills all the time, where it's like, hey, this is supposed to be this. 0.99

01:03:53.000 And then someone that actually reads the damn bill is like, wait a minute. 0.71

01:03:56.000 That's not what that is, Rand. 0.99

01:03:58.000 That's not what that is.

01:03:59.000 I actually read this bill.

01:04:00.000 It doesn't say do exactly this, this, and that.

01:04:03.000 And they're like, well, he's a racist because he didn't vote for the You Like Black People bill or something like that. 0.99

01:04:11.000 And there's all the type of garbage in it. 0.99

01:04:12.000 Or the Patriot Act. 0.99

01:04:13.000 Yeah.

01:04:14.000 If they took the entire omnibus and just broke it up and spread it around- Automized it.

01:04:19.000 No, no, no.

01:04:20.000 I mean, just broke it up and said, we're going to give everyone an equal share.

01:04:22.000 Every American, every working American- Oh, you're talking about like in the price point that it's at right now.

01:04:28.000 2.7 trillion or whatever divided by 225 million working Americans, everybody gets like 12 grand.

01:04:33.000 12 grand!

01:04:34.000 Another thing we need to realize, we need to stop saying that the government is giving us something.

01:04:38.000 They're not.

01:04:39.000 They're borrowing it from us, which we're going to have to pay back in taxes or with inflation for us, or our children, or our children's children are going to have to pay for this in one way or another.

01:04:49.000 That's guaranteed.

01:04:49.000 They're stealing from future generations, and this is why we... They're not giving us nothing.

01:04:54.000 Yeah, they'll devalue what you have right now, and they're selling off assets of unborn people.

01:04:59.000 That's exactly what they're doing.

01:05:00.000 And the fact that people are just so okay with that, to me, is what's so freaky about it.

01:05:04.000 You break it down to them, like, dude, that money is not there.

01:05:07.000 This whole myth that you think, well, I'm just getting my taxpayer money back.

01:05:11.000 Your money's gone.

01:05:12.000 They don't have it.

01:05:14.000 They don't have it.

01:05:15.000 They're in the red right now and still spending it.

01:05:17.000 They don't have your money.

01:05:18.000 This is why we got off the gold standard.

01:05:20.000 Because they borrowed your money, spent it, and when you asked for it back, they said, here's a piece of paper.

01:05:23.000 It's good for the money, I swear.

01:05:24.000 Exactly.

01:05:25.000 And people were like, all right, I guess.

01:05:28.000 I don't think you can go back on the gold standard at this point.

01:05:29.000 A lot of people wanted to.

01:05:31.000 Didn't Trump try pointing that lady who wanted to get on the gold standard? 1.00

01:05:34.000 I wish that would have happened.

01:05:34.000 That would have been hilarious, man.

01:05:36.000 You know, I just kind of want, like, I don't know if I think the system might be too far gone, but it would be nice to be back on a track where you can understand what's happening.

01:05:44.000 And we're at this point now where it's this massive Ponzi scheme where they just deficit spend into oblivion, which results in like the interest being higher than the ability to even pay anything back.

01:05:56.000 So that means there's rapid inflation.

01:05:58.000 It's a big Ponzi scheme.

01:06:00.000 And the reason it won't collapse is because they have guns.

01:06:03.000 If Donald Trump was real, he would have appointed Ron Paul to the head of the Federal Reserve.

01:06:07.000 I talked to Ron, I'm like, Ron, what'd you do?

01:06:08.000 Of course he'd do it!

01:06:24.000 Of course he'd do it Yeah, of course, I know it will, but seriously, guys, it's like trying to get people to, it's like pulling, literally pulling teeth out of people's mouths, man, trying to get them to understand that money's not there.

01:06:37.000 It's like they don't get it.

01:06:39.000 I get in these fights with, can I say boomer conservative?

01:06:42.000 Is that offensive or something like that?

01:06:45.000 That's an H slur.

01:06:45.000 Okay, all right.

01:06:46.000 No, you can say I'm kidding.

01:06:47.000 All right, yeah, I'm kidding.

01:06:48.000 Probably is, I don't know.

01:06:48.000 I'm kidding, yeah.

01:06:49.000 But no, and I'm talking about Social Security.

01:06:52.000 And they seriously think, well, if we're going to take away Social Security, then I want my money back.

01:06:58.000 And I'm like, bro, your money's not there.

01:07:01.000 The money that you were being taxed, you've been stolen from, which is a decent portion of your check, is gone.

01:07:08.000 They don't even pretend that it is yours.

01:07:10.000 What's happening right now is you're living off of the current generation that's going to end up in the same position.

01:07:15.000 This is why it's a literal Ponzi scheme in that regard.

01:07:19.000 But people don't understand that and I guess it's because maybe the state has babied them and given them whatever they want.

01:07:24.000 Check this out.

01:07:25.000 So Luke and I were talking about getting this big farm property and what we could do if we had like our own cryptocurrency And it's like, we want people to come and contribute and

01:07:34.000 help us build stuff.

01:07:35.000 And I'm like, how do you actually create value in a currency?

01:07:37.000 How do you actually convince people it's worth something if you can just print it out of thin air?

01:07:42.000 Why would anyone be like, oh, I want some of that?

01:07:44.000 Why are you just going to keep printing it?

01:07:45.000 No one's going to want any from me.

01:07:46.000 Well, for the background, we were talking about creating two kinds of civilizations.

01:07:49.000 No, that was a short joke.

01:07:50.000 One with a lot of government, one with no government.

01:07:53.000 And we're going to think of ways how to make currencies.

01:07:56.000 We were talking about cryptocurrencies and using some kind of way to create value.

01:08:00.000 One idea I had was to make one working hour a value token that people could use and trade within the community.

01:08:07.000 That's what some local communities in Breaking Ridge have started to do.

01:08:09.000 Right, right, right, but listen, listen, but the problem is, so first, the context is, like, doing some kind of show where we're like, who would succeed?

01:08:16.000 Regulation versus no regulation.

01:08:19.000 And the problem with that idea of the hour is if someone can just print the money arbitrarily, then why would I do work for your currency if you're not working and just printing it out and getting whatever you want from me?

01:08:31.000 That's what's happening right now.

01:08:32.000 I know!

01:08:33.000 You just described American fiscal policy.

01:08:35.000 Good job, Tim!

01:08:37.000 That's why I complain to people when they're like, just print more!

01:08:40.000 When Rand Paul comes out and he's like, why not $20,000?

01:08:43.000 Why not UBI?

01:08:44.000 And I'm like, yes!

01:08:45.000 People don't get it.

01:08:47.000 You can't just do that.

01:08:49.000 That's true.

01:08:49.000 But that's why, and it's funny you guys are having that conversation though, that's exactly why it's important that the market be free enough for folks that are even smarter than everybody that's at the table right now to be able to figure that out and answer that sort of question.

01:09:04.000 This is why people acting freely is so important because we don't got a lot of answers.

01:09:09.000 There's actually these very, very arrogant Uh, it's not just progressives, but you know, it's it's especially progressives that are very arrogant enough to think that they have the all the answers and because they can't it's one of the biggest criticisms of what maybe Luke and I more so believe in is that well they figure well I can't I can't possibly like conceive an idea or see that world actually come into fruition and I'm like

01:09:32.000 How arrogant of you to think you're the smartest person to ever live that just because you can't see that being done, it just can't be done at all.

01:09:39.000 And it's kind of funny.

01:09:40.000 Sorry, Ian, go ahead.

01:09:41.000 Yeah, what we could do in a community is we each print our own crypto.

01:09:43.000 And then so if you wanted me to do something for you, it would be five tokens.

01:09:48.000 You would give me five tokens or I would give you five tokens for your product.

01:09:52.000 But if I gave you if I paid you an Eric coin, I only had to give you four tokens.

01:09:57.000 So the value then would it would create a value system for all these different currencies that we'd start inter trading like I would give you five tokens for four if you're going to give me Eric token so that we we still make a we still come out even except you get an extra token out of it.

01:10:12.000 So, and then you're gonna, you're gonna still get tokens for your labor and get paid, um, and then they could pay you five tokens of else.

01:10:21.000 Uh, I think that would, that would be how you would do it.

01:10:23.000 See, like this, and the fact that I love we have in this conversation, cause these are the conversation that innovators have, right?

01:10:30.000 And these are, these are, these are, and this is why it's so important for the market to be free enough so we can have that conversation.

01:10:36.000 The state says, well, I have the smartest people on my team.

01:10:40.000 Therefore, what I say has to go.

01:10:43.000 Never mind if it hasn't worked. 0.99

01:10:45.000 Never mind if it's possibly the most dumbest idea. 0.99

01:10:49.000 It doesn't matter. 0.99

01:10:49.000 I have the monopoly on law. 0.99

01:10:51.000 Well, this is the important thing.

01:10:52.000 When we're moving towards an ideology, We're moving away towards a merit-based society.

01:10:58.000 And whenever we see governments, whether Germany in World War II or the USSR before World War I, whenever they push ideology more than they do merit, there's always a lot of destruction because there's always a controlling of individuals, not based on their intelligence, not based on their skills, but based on their obedience to the state.

01:11:18.000 And it's interesting that they call themselves, you know, individuals call themselves progressives, when in human history, you look at innovation Progression.

01:11:25.000 It's made when there's very little government.

01:11:28.000 Absolutely.

01:11:28.000 And then these individuals who want more government are calling themselves progressives?

01:11:33.000 That to me is just mind-boggling.

01:11:35.000 It just shows you that we're kind of living in a 1984 double-speak world where words have double meanings now.

01:11:42.000 The left, I think it was Cenk Uygur who said this, the progressives always win, that the left always wins.

01:11:47.000 And a lot of people corrected him saying, no, liberty always wins.

01:11:50.000 A lot of these issues people talk about, going back to like the fight for freedom of speech in the Vietnam era, was about liberty, individual rights.

01:11:57.000 Civil rights, gay marriage, all that stuff has always been about individual liberties and the rights of the individual to do things.

01:12:04.000 It's not been about your authority as governor of New York to shut down the economy, destroy people's lives, and put up checkpoints around your city to make sure nobody comes in.

01:12:15.000 That almost sounds like you're just separating yourself from the rest of this country.

01:12:17.000 We talked about divorce before.

01:12:18.000 A lot of these places are already doing it.

01:12:20.000 I want to move on to this subject.

01:12:22.000 Of what happens when people finally have had enough.

01:12:25.000 Because we did mention this a little bit earlier in the show.

01:12:28.000 What happens when people have nothing left to lose?

01:12:30.000 What happens when we start seeing more and more videos of people who are desperate?

01:12:34.000 We see these stories about the woman beating the cop with the baton because she didn't want to wear a mask.

01:12:39.000 People are angry, and they don't care.

01:12:42.000 You guys ever hear that story about the dude who walks into a bank?

01:12:45.000 And here's a note.

01:12:46.000 The note is a robbery.

01:12:48.000 He's demanding one dollar.

01:12:50.000 He threatens him and says, give me a dollar or else.

01:12:53.000 Then he goes and sits down.

01:12:54.000 And he waits for the cops to come and arrest him.

01:12:56.000 You know why?

01:12:56.000 Because he had cancer and he was going to die.

01:12:58.000 And he said, it's the only way I can get treatment.

01:13:01.000 That's why he did it.

01:13:02.000 And the left likes to bring it up, saying, that's how messed up our healthcare system is.

01:13:05.000 I'm like, I don't think that's a good example of how messed up our healthcare system is.

01:13:08.000 But I do think it's interesting that our prisoners get better healthcare than, say, like this old guy.

01:13:12.000 So that's an interesting point.

01:13:13.000 But this dude was desperate.

01:13:15.000 So desperate, he did a staged kind of robbery to go to prison.

01:13:18.000 What happens when people have nothing left to lose and they don't care about prison?

01:13:22.000 Yeah, no, that's when the violence happens, right?

01:13:25.000 When people are down and out.

01:13:26.000 I think a lot of people have taken for granted that stability.

01:13:31.000 I know a lot of folks, especially progressives, talk about change and hope and stuff like that.

01:13:36.000 Believe it or not, a lot of people don't want that.

01:13:38.000 A lot of people are comfortable being able to see exactly where they're at and where they're going to be able to go.

01:13:45.000 It's when you get that sort of unfamiliarity Where people are like, I don't know when the next check's gonna come.

01:13:52.000 I don't know when, if I'm going to be able to pay the next bill.

01:13:56.000 And then that's when they start to erupt.

01:13:59.000 Well, here's the news.

01:14:01.000 Ex-Pence aide turned Trump critic, very concerned about January 6th violence.

01:14:06.000 So this hotel, Hotel Harrington, announces they're shutting down for three days when this DC event is supposed to happen.

01:14:14.000 And apparently it's because the Washington Post claimed the Proud Boys were using it as a headquarters.

01:14:19.000 The Proud Boys apparently came out and said, that's not true, we haven't used that place for months.

01:14:23.000 And they're saying now, on January 6th, Proud Boys are going to be showing up in plain clothes, not wearing their iconic shirts, and some of them are going to be dressed like Antifa.

01:14:32.000 So there's very serious concern that there's actual planning going into what's going to happen.

01:14:37.000 I think one of the biggest mistakes, you know, I was thinking about this, one of the biggest mistakes Proud Boys could make is going and fighting with Antifa.

01:14:43.000 Right now, I don't think that matters.

01:14:45.000 I don't think Trump supporters' fights are with Antifa.

01:14:48.000 It's with the establishment government and the Democrats.

01:14:51.000 Antifa's biggest mistake would be going and fighting with Trump supporters.

01:14:54.000 You know, it's a really interesting thing.

01:14:56.000 When I see, there was a funny post by Shu Unhead.

01:14:58.000 You know Shu?

01:14:59.000 Yeah.

01:14:59.000 She posted, uh, people, I think it was in, uh, I can't remember what state it was.

01:15:02.000 Do you know where this was where they're setting up the guillotine in front of the politician's house or whatever?

01:15:05.000 I think that was in Mexico, wasn't it?

01:15:07.000 Yeah, it was in Mexico, I think.

01:15:08.000 And she said, cons, this could be us marching to Congress together or whatever.

01:15:12.000 And I said, when, when Trump's out of the White House, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

01:15:16.000 It's gonna start looking real good to a lot of people.

01:15:19.000 Yeah, I mean, I get that.

01:15:21.000 My thing is though and why I know a lot of folks rag on me because I say I will not ally with these types because I know my next is my my back against the wall.

01:15:30.000 Yeah, you know what I mean? 0.98

01:15:31.000 And they gonna put me up against it because ultimately it's about that's why I don't want to have them using me as my useful idiots. 0.98

01:15:37.000 But we got to talk about that though, because it's a legitimate concern. 0.97

01:15:42.000 But I also think it's a lot of Leftists, over this course of this last year, have been trying to, for the sake of legitimizing their own bad behavior, trying to say that the other side would do what it is that they would do.

01:15:58.000 Now keep in mind what all they've been doing for the past, I don't know, months, right?

01:16:01.000 Definitely this year, of course, maybe we can talk about what's happened before that, but let's just focus on what happened post-George Floyd, where you're talking about hundreds of spots Riding.

01:16:12.000 And in some cases where you go in like the Portland's and the Seattle's of the world,

01:16:16.000 you're talking about months at a time, right? That they were just at riding,

01:16:19.000 acting up. So the reason why they do that is so they can say, Hey,

01:16:24.000 look at them and what they do. Right. Look at, look at them when to,

01:16:28.000 to basically to try to absolve them of the bad behavior.

01:16:32.000 I think it's likely more likely.

01:16:35.000 Let's say don't say likely, but I think it's more likely that they would have that you probably see a first big powwow with guys that are quote-unquote on the right but more so with the police because They're they're more direct when they protest.

01:16:49.000 This is why you don't see when you generally they go do their thing.

01:16:51.000 You don't really go see uh, Wendy's get burnt down or something like that.

01:16:56.000 Generally when the when the quote-unquote right links up that generally doesn't really have they're more precise with what it is they do.

01:17:02.000 So I get the desperation but that desperation may have them more so turning on the and maybe I'm just being an audio log right now.

01:17:09.000 But that desperation may have them actually looking to the people who, the police, more than anything.

01:17:15.000 Right, right, right.

01:17:15.000 I don't think Trump supporters, they're planning on going to D.C., setting up tents, occupying, and protesting, shutting things down.

01:17:23.000 I think it's gonna get pretty big.

01:17:24.000 I mean, you got this guy going on MSNBC saying, you know, it's gonna get violent and I'm really worried about this hotel shutting down.

01:17:30.000 Man, that's a crazy signal.

01:17:32.000 But what do you think's going to happen?

01:17:33.000 You think Antifa are going to be the ones blocking the Trump supporters from having their protest?

01:17:36.000 It's going to be the police.

01:17:38.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:17:38.000 And you think Trump supporters are going to be like, okay, officer, we're not going to protest against the president.

01:17:42.000 Not anymore.

01:17:42.000 They've done that for a while and they know that that's not worked.

01:17:46.000 That's not been effective.

01:17:47.000 Listen, when Trump was tweeting Antifa bad and the cops were fighting Antifa, they had the Trump supporters, the Proud Boys, everybody at their back saying, do it, we got your back.

01:17:56.000 Now the people blocking the Trump supporters are the cops and the cops are saying, get out of my way.

01:18:00.000 I'm here for Trump, not for you.

01:18:01.000 Yeah.

01:18:02.000 So I'm curious, I wonder how likely the possibility is that you get the cops fighting two different groups on two different fronts.

01:18:09.000 That's interesting.

01:18:10.000 It'll be really different, but I wouldn't be surprised because we've already seen right-wing groups fighting with cops.

01:18:16.000 Not nearly as bad as how the left does it.

01:18:18.000 But that was unheard of though.

01:18:21.000 That's why it's important to notate that because that's like, Not a thing.

01:18:24.000 Even back when the Tea Party thing was going down, like, it wasn't... You may had a skirmish here and there, but for the most part, that was not what happened.

01:18:31.000 Could you imagine if there's, like, a guy with a Trump flag, and he's yelling at a cop, and there's an Antifa guy 10 feet away?

01:18:38.000 Whoever gets that photo is gonna be a millionaire.

01:18:40.000 But they're both yelling at cops, and the Antifa guy looks over and sees a Trump supporter yelling at the cop, and then he's like, I'm not gonna get involved in that.

01:18:46.000 And he keeps yelling.

01:18:46.000 He's like, I'm gonna ignore that.

01:18:48.000 He's not gonna... Normally, the Antifa guys wanna go fight the Proud Boys.

01:18:50.000 The Proud Boys wanna go fight Antifa.

01:18:52.000 But what happens when They're both protesting the government.

01:18:56.000 It's going to be interesting because I think one of the problems is tribalism and both sides are trying to use any ally to get control of the White House.

01:19:04.000 The problem is for the left, you see Donald Trump, the establishment Republicans don't like him, but they'll wait.

01:19:12.000 They'll stand there and say, okay, fine.

01:19:14.000 Well, Trump's in charge.

01:19:15.000 We'll bide our time.

01:19:17.000 Trump supporters just want Trump.

01:19:19.000 So that creates a good bit of unity between Republicans willing to just say OK to Trump and Trump supporters who are fighting for Trump.

01:19:25.000 On the left, the Antifa people are like, yeah, yeah, we'll fight with you to get rid of Trump, but we're not supporting Biden.

01:19:30.000 There's no unity on the left over who their candidate is.

01:19:33.000 So they're in a weakened position.

01:19:35.000 So if the fight is against Joe Biden and Trump's gone, then Antifa's not going to be fighting with the right, they're going to be fighting the cops.

01:19:42.000 And then the Trump supporters aren't going to be fighting with Antifa because they're And that's the interesting thing.

01:19:46.000 I don't know if that's going to be a thing that's going to happen because I feel like I saw too many times where they kind of During the Obama presidency, I don't know if they've gotten amped up enough to maybe go back on that, but during the Obama presidency, there were a lot of instances in which they could have went that route, and they decided not to.

01:20:05.000 In fact, when it came to the riding, that was one of the things that Obama certainly was, he had no issue coming out and being like, okay, y'all need to stop. 0.98

01:20:14.000 When the Ferguson thing and all of that stuff went down, he had no issue being like, okay, y'all are being stupid. 0.98

01:20:21.000 People need to remember, Occupy Wall Street started under Obama. 0.99

01:20:24.000 Major riots across the United States started under Obama.

01:20:28.000 Today I sent out a meme with a young girl with a Biden hat saying, thank you for saving us.

01:20:33.000 And then Biden is there looking at her in disgust saying, I'm literally going to do everything Trump did.

01:20:40.000 And we have to understand Biden is the epitome of the establishment.

01:20:44.000 When you look at his cabinet, when you look at his administration, he has Goldman Sachs.

01:20:48.000 He has large tech executives.

01:20:49.000 He has executives from all the worst possible elements of the corporatist world possible.

01:20:55.000 People are going to get a very rude awakening to who he really is, the policies he sets forward, and when he gets into office, he's not going to serve you, he's going to serve the special interests that put him in there, and when he does that, especially with all the civil unrest we've been seeing, it's been brewing, it's been building up, I think it would be naive To think that there's going to be peace civilly in the United States coming forward from here.

01:21:19.000 This is why the Democrats rely on low information voters.

01:21:23.000 It's why they want the voting age to be 16.

01:21:25.000 Because these people who are in their 20s who voted for Biden aren't old enough to remember Joe Biden killing kids in foreign countries and Obama's extrajudicial assassinations. 0.99

01:21:35.000 Dumb people are also, let's be honest here, more violent. 1.00

01:21:39.000 So when you have a whole bunch of dumb, violent people getting angry, you're brewing a recipe for disaster. 1.00

01:21:46.000 Yeah, no, they were there useful idiots. 1.00

01:21:48.000 I mean, we saw that with Black Lives Matter not getting a seat at the table at their little civil rights. 0.99

01:21:52.000 It's more of the civil, like the establishment civil rights guys that were linking up with Biden and Black Lives Matter didn't get a seat at the table and they were all frustrated.

01:22:01.000 Like, we demand a seat. 0.98

01:22:02.000 And I was like, like, dude, they've been using y'all for useful idiots for the last, I don't know, How long? 0.99

01:22:06.000 It's not like they care. 0.99

01:22:07.000 Did y'all not understand much of what y'all... Y'all didn't get much... Y'all didn't get anything out of Biden pres... Excuse me, out of an Obama presidency.

01:22:14.000 What makes you think that you will be prioritized?

01:22:17.000 They may campaign on that, but what makes you think they're gonna prioritize you once they get in? 0.99

01:22:21.000 But I'll tell you, we talk about dumb, violent people, right? 0.97

01:22:24.000 There's actually a better way to predict if someone's gonna be violent. 0.99

01:22:28.000 Do they got anything to lose?

01:22:30.000 Well, a lot of these young people don't.

01:22:31.000 They got no jobs, they got no family, and they're in debt.

01:22:34.000 Yeah, a worthless degree.

01:22:35.000 Worthless degree.

01:22:36.000 Now they're seeing all this violence.

01:22:38.000 Look at the George Floyd riots.

01:22:39.000 People are locked up in their concrete cubicles that smell like sour milk in New York City.

01:22:43.000 Perfect storm.

01:22:44.000 And so we had the comedian, Ryan Long.

01:22:46.000 Let me finish.

01:22:46.000 We had this comedian, Ryan Long, on the show.

01:22:48.000 And he was talking about when the protests and the riots started happening, he was like, well, I can go outside now, right?

01:22:53.000 A lot of these people in New York don't have kids.

01:22:55.000 So they go to jail.

01:22:55.000 So what?

01:22:56.000 They lose their job.

01:22:57.000 Well, it doesn't matter, right?

01:22:58.000 They're angry.

01:22:59.000 They have nothing to lose.

01:23:00.000 Well, now we have Trump supporters and regular people whose businesses no longer exist.

01:23:06.000 They can't feed their kids even if they want to. 0.99

01:23:08.000 They got nothing left to lose.

01:23:10.000 And so that's when people...

01:23:12.000 Another kind of vague scientific term brought up here is that also people who don't get laid also are more violent.

01:23:18.000 Very true.

01:23:19.000 And we have seen also a huge increase of the use of OnlyFans and also other online adult stores.

01:23:24.000 Is that true?

01:23:25.000 People who don't get laid get violent?

01:23:26.000 Yes.

01:23:27.000 Yes.

01:23:27.000 That's one of the big predictions.

01:23:29.000 It's your intelligence.

01:23:30.000 It's not only your intellect, but also your social intelligence, your social IQ that also matters.

01:23:38.000 And if you're not getting some, you're going to have to Release that pent-up energy somewhere else if you look at someone like the Portland mugshots you can kind of There's that meme about male feminists like they're predators reset the clock and it's because a lot of these guys think in order to get with a woman they got a Pretend to be a feminist. 0.93

01:24:02.000 Yeah.

01:24:02.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:24:03.000 And oh, I'm I'm so feminist to look at me and then the women don't respect them. 1.00

01:24:06.000 Oh And then they get angry when the woman won't hook up with them. 1.00

01:24:10.000 And then we get all these stories, story after story of these male feminists turn out to be rapists or abusers. 0.99

01:24:14.000 Yeah, creepers. 0.99

01:24:15.000 The biggest creeps are the ones pretending to be something that they're not.

01:24:18.000 And they're always saying, but they're like, but I said everything she wants me to hear.

01:24:21.000 She's, I'm doing all that.

01:24:22.000 And like, what do you think people don't respect you patronizing them? And this is the whole thing when it comes

01:24:27.000 to the whole Black Lives Matter. There's so many examples of

01:24:30.000 this. There's so many initiatives by the establishment by the elites for you not to be a true genuine person for

01:24:37.000 you to be corporate replicas of what they want you to be and go

01:24:40.000 that it's leading to dysfunction.

01:24:42.000 And this dysfunction is a byproduct of this curated algorithm, of this mainstream media, of this entertainment industry that is shaping people's minds to be destructive.

01:24:51.000 Because when you're destructive, you of course are going to have to be obedient to the big overlord that is going to beat you over the head and tell you exactly what to do.

01:24:59.000 Here's what you need to do.

01:25:00.000 You need to eat right.

01:25:01.000 You need to exercise.

01:25:03.000 You need to meditate.

01:25:05.000 You need to take care of yourself, focus on yourself, and think.

01:25:08.000 You need to get some.

01:25:09.000 But, but, no, listen, listen, listen.

01:25:10.000 Yes, but if you start with improving yourself.

01:25:13.000 Let's, like, there's a lot of people, you know, we were talking about, you know, how good it feels to, like, to be, to take care of yourself.

01:25:19.000 People don't realize, and I was reading this post on Reddit about being fit and being, and having, you know, exercising, that a lot of people don't like exercising, right?

01:25:27.000 What they don't realize, these people who don't exercise, is that if you exercise consistently,

01:25:31.000 you feel good all the time.

01:25:34.000 You wake up feeling like a million bucks, you're like, oh, you could like,

01:25:36.000 you feel like you could punch a bear in the face and the bear would run away.

01:25:39.000 You know, you're like, ah, you feel great.

01:25:41.000 But these people don't take care of themselves.

01:25:42.000 The first thing you gotta do, take care of yourself, do some exercise, eat better food, portion control,

01:25:48.000 stop, think, read, meditate, study yourself, analyze yourself, be honest with yourself,

01:25:53.000 Because then you're gonna be a nice, well-rounded person.

01:25:55.000 Good point.

01:25:55.000 Yeah.

01:25:55.000 Sensory deprivation?

01:25:56.000 we were talking about maybe highlighting the vlog on having a vlog about bettering yourself.

01:26:01.000 We were talking about maybe doing ice baths and saunas and we're getting a workout.

01:26:04.000 Sensory deprivation.

01:26:05.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:26:06.000 So we're talking about doing all that stuff a part of a vlog and to just be examples of

01:26:10.000 trying to be the best version of ourselves.

01:26:12.000 But that's what progressives like definitely the mainstream ones.

01:26:16.000 That's not what they want.

01:26:18.000 You know what I mean?

01:26:19.000 And this is why they actually shun those who try to put some sort of responsibility and accountability in the individual, right?

01:26:26.000 And it's obviously in all the policies that they advocate that, hey, you don't better yourself, be destructive, be dysfunctional.

01:26:34.000 Uh and we will give you this and you know the minute you start trying to show some uh you know shed some light you we're gonna strip everything away from you so like I said in yesterday's show they incentivize you to fail progressive policies and why they advocate what it is that they advocate you need to look at the fact that what are they scared of why are they so scared of people being free why are they so scared of liberty and and who who who protects these ideas the academia Uh, and educational elites.

01:27:02.000 And why is it that they don't place the emphasis on, okay, instead of the state or this group of people moving your world, can you move your world for you?

01:27:10.000 Did you just fat shame me, Eric?

01:27:12.000 I did.

01:27:13.000 I'm not one of those body positive guys.

01:27:16.000 But think about the body positivity stuff.

01:27:18.000 They're basically saying you don't need to change.

01:27:21.000 The world needs to change for you.

01:27:23.000 Think about how narcissistic that is.

01:27:25.000 It's not progressive either. 0.96

01:27:26.000 And insane.

01:27:27.000 It's destroying the whole health, the medical industry with overloading it with individuals who think it's good to be unhealthy.

01:27:34.000 Yeah, and then they want free health care.

01:27:36.000 How do you combine universal health care with people encouraging you to be out of shape?

01:27:40.000 Unbelievable.

01:27:41.000 It's healthy at every size.

01:27:42.000 I think it's absolutely hilarious to have the people who talk about fat phobia also telling you to wear a mask.

01:27:48.000 Yeah.

01:27:48.000 There's a contradiction there that people need to realize is happening there.

01:27:51.000 No, you're wrong.

01:27:52.000 You're wrong.

01:27:52.000 Go ahead.

01:27:53.000 The people who are dying of COVID are the overweight people.

01:27:56.000 Yeah.

01:27:56.000 They want you to wear a mask because they're the ones who are going to die.

01:27:59.000 So what it is, what it is, and then go to that point, what it is is again, they don't want to be responsible for themselves.

01:28:05.000 They want you to be responsible for them.

01:28:07.000 Listen, Eric, you got to wear a mask because if you choose to go outside, you might, you might get me sick when I go outside.

01:28:12.000 When you go outside, right.

01:28:13.000 That's exactly what happened.

01:28:14.000 But no, like accountability is, for me, that's been liberating.

01:28:17.000 That's one of the most liberating things that, that when I had my political awakening, you know, and, and one of the most, the things that I realized, Being accountable for my actions and being responsible.

01:28:29.000 That's the trade-off with freedom.

01:28:32.000 You don't have that government guarantee.

01:28:36.000 It's not even a safety net.

01:28:38.000 It's what it is.

01:28:39.000 It's encouraging you to not be great.

01:28:42.000 One of those things that I realized was that there are things that are within my power.

01:28:48.000 I would always go out of my way To find even in failure, right?

01:28:52.000 If I did if I wanted to achieve something and I didn't I always look to what could I have done to better my situation?

01:28:59.000 I say this was athlete.

01:29:01.000 I got my tail.

01:29:01.000 I remember getting my like getting a doze blowed off of me.

01:29:04.000 My first freshman year track meet East of Kentucky was where was that?

01:29:08.000 I thought I was the you know, I had state qualifier coming from Texas 5 5 a.m.

01:29:12.000 Like oh, yeah, I'm it first indoor.

01:29:15.000 I never ran into a track first indoor track meet.

01:29:18.000 I got the doors blowed off of me, right?

01:29:20.000 And it was it was and instead of you know, looking at okay.

01:29:24.000 Well, it's it's it's indoor. 0.96

01:29:25.000 I suck indoors I can't run indoors.

01:29:28.000 I had to look at it from a standpoint if I wanted to get better And over the course of my track my collegiate track career was okay What was it that I did? 0.71

01:29:37.000 Was I in my dry phase too long?

01:29:40.000 Did I come out of my dry phase too early?

01:29:42.000 Little stuff like that to try to improve my life.

01:29:45.000 But that's not what people want.

01:29:46.000 What people want is for someone else to promise them that we will make your life better. 0.99

01:29:52.000 You just be a loser for all they care. 0.97

01:29:58.000 You are not going to be held accountable for your actions. 0.98

01:30:00.000 You are not going to be held responsible, and that can be said for a multitude of different things.

01:30:05.000 This is one of the hard things that people don't want to discuss when we talk about poverty.

01:30:09.000 They always talk about folks in poverty as if they are the only ones, like they got there by way of some, I don't know, white man sitting around the corner pulling the strings, and they made them be poor.

01:30:20.000 I've seen people ruin their own lives that are in that pop-up, that poverty population.

01:30:25.000 This is what I think is funny, you know?

01:30:27.000 Look, I always thought about people who play, say, like, World of Warcraft, and they make a character a hunter.

01:30:32.000 And they go on quests.

01:30:34.000 And I'm like, why don't you just, you know, like, go hunt?

01:30:36.000 Like, be a real hunter.

01:30:37.000 And I look at these video games where people play a character and they get that dopamine reward.

01:30:43.000 They're not improving themselves, but I understand there's a real career in playing games.

01:30:46.000 Absolutely.

01:30:47.000 I'm not disparaging that.

01:30:49.000 But I think, like, wouldn't, you know, for me, I don't like watching people do things.

01:30:54.000 I like doing things.

01:30:55.000 I guess some people like watching, but for me, it's like, wouldn't you rather go out to that field and actually go hunt the boars?

01:31:01.000 Well, no, I mean, when you talk about gaming, at least with me, I think that That kind of accessibility, I talk about this all the time, that's ruining gaming too.

01:31:11.000 All these mediums are being ruined by this concept that we see this in the fighting game community, where people are fighting the games that got too hard, taking away the combos because they want everybody to be able to fight.

01:31:23.000 Have you played Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite?

01:31:25.000 Yes.

01:31:25.000 I threw that game in the trash.

01:31:27.000 I grew up playing Marvel vs. Capcom.

01:31:29.000 For those not familiar, it's a fighting arcade game, and when you're playing, right, there's some... Eric, you've played Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

01:31:36.000 You do air combos.

01:31:37.000 Yes.

01:31:37.000 You jump up, you land in front of the bad guy, you're your opponent, you press down and fierce punch to knock him in the air, and then you gotta do a combination of light-medium punches to do your air combo.

01:31:47.000 And then I get Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, the new version.

01:31:50.000 I'm all excited.

01:31:50.000 It was a few years ago.

01:31:51.000 And I put it in, and the only thing you gotta do is press circle over and over again.

01:31:55.000 One button.

01:31:55.000 And I was like, I'm not even playing.

01:31:57.000 And he jumps for you, it's all automatic.

01:31:59.000 I'm like, it's not a game anymore, dude!

01:32:01.000 What is it?

01:32:02.000 I just deleted it.

01:32:04.000 We're doing a running competition tomorrow.

01:32:06.000 We're putting it on my Instagram up the hill here.

01:32:08.000 And one thing I wanted to add to what you were saying is they don't want you great.

01:32:11.000 They don't want you free.

01:32:12.000 They don't want you independent.

01:32:13.000 Because when you are, you can't be subjugated.

01:32:15.000 And who is they?

01:32:16.000 That's the name of the game and a lot of people have been brainwashed, have been tricked,

01:32:19.000 have been conditioned, have been programmed to accept their obedience to individuals that

01:32:25.000 take advantage of them and screw them over.

01:32:28.000 And who is they?

01:32:29.000 The aliens.

01:32:30.000 Moving on to the next story.

01:32:32.000 We finally get to talk about the aliens.

01:32:33.000 I'm kidding.

01:32:35.000 Today is not really the aliens, but you guys can't see this video, but I don't know if you guys saw this.

01:32:40.000 In West Virginia, there was a weird UFO spotted in the sky that looked like, people are saying it's a UFO crashing to earth because there's like flames coming out of it.

01:32:50.000 Check out this video.

01:32:51.000 So this video was uploaded on the 27th.

01:32:53.000 UFO crashing to Earth, caught on camera in West Virginia.

01:32:58.000 Now, a lot of people have said, it's easily explained.

01:33:00.000 What you're looking at is the contrails of a jet reflected in the sunlight.

01:33:06.000 The issue is, the trails end.

01:33:09.000 If you look up these sunset contrails, I don't know, this channel is ghosts that hunt baggers on.

01:33:15.000 If you look up contrails from a jet in the sunlight, you'll see there's like, it looks like fire.

01:33:20.000 But the water vapor that comes out of the planes stays there.

01:33:26.000 In this video, it's really weird.

01:33:28.000 It looks like there's two distinct streaks of fire coming out of some weird object in the middle.

01:33:35.000 Nobody knows what it is so far.

01:33:36.000 A lot of people are saying it's an airplane.

01:33:38.000 I don't know for sure, but I got good news for everybody.

01:33:40.000 Because we have this omnibus bill, right?

01:33:43.000 Now all of a sudden people are like, look, I'm here for aliens, man.

01:33:46.000 I don't know what you're talking about.

01:33:47.000 Omnibus bill.

01:33:47.000 Okay, hold on, hold on.

01:33:50.000 5,500 page bill gets sent to Congress and somebody snuck in, I'm assuming they snuck it in, a provision in this ridiculous bill nobody read, a provision mandating that the Pentagon reveal their information on UFOs.

01:34:06.000 At least they got that.

01:34:07.000 There's so many things that could have gone into this.

01:34:10.000 I don't know how these government bills work where no one reads it but someone knows what they put in there.

01:34:15.000 How does that work?

01:34:16.000 What if the aliens are writing a bill? 0.99

01:34:19.000 How does this bill work?

01:34:21.000 Do I get to write a provision saying I get a million dollars and just slide it in?

01:34:24.000 Nobody reads it and they vote for it?

01:34:25.000 Basically.

01:34:26.000 So why doesn't anybody do that?

01:34:27.000 Whoever slid that in, thank you so much.

01:34:30.000 I appreciate you very much, and we need more of you.

01:34:32.000 Now, will a lying government tell us the truth about aliens?

01:34:36.000 Well, that's a whole nother issue.

01:34:37.000 Well, let's see what they say over at New York Post.

01:34:39.000 They say, President Trump's signature Sunday on the $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief and government funding bill started a 180-day countdown for the Pentagon and spy agencies to say what they know about UFOs.

01:34:52.000 The provision received very little attention in part because it wasn't included in the text of

01:34:56.000 the 5593 page legislation, but as a committee comment attached to the annual intelligence

01:35:03.000 authorization act, which was rolled into the massive bill.

01:35:06.000 The Senate intelligence committee chaired by Marco Rubio said in a comment, it directs the

01:35:10.000 director of national intelligence and consultation with the secretary of defense and the

01:35:15.000 heads of such other agencies to submit a report within 180 days of the date of the enactment of

01:35:21.000 the act to congressional intelligence and armed service committees on unidentified aerial

01:35:26.000 phenomena.

01:35:27.000 The report must address observed airborne objects that have not been identified, and should include a detailed analysis of unidentified phenomena data collected by A. Geospatial Intelligence, B. Signals Intelligence, C. Human Intelligence, and D. Measurement and Signals Intelligence.

01:35:46.000 The report must also contain detailed analysis of data of the FBI, which was derived from investigations of intrusions of unidentified aerial phenomena data, Overrestricted United States airspace and an assessment of whether this unidentified aerial phenomena activity may be attributed to one or more foreign adversaries.

01:36:05.000 Well, if they didn't include aliens, then does the Pentagon just not get to tell us if it is?

01:36:10.000 Because they put foreign adversaries.

01:36:12.000 They say former Pentagon and legislative officials confirmed Tuesday to the publication that the package begins the clock on UFO disclosures.

01:36:22.000 So there's a lot more.

01:36:23.000 Here's a quote from, we got this guy, Chris Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Director of Defense Intelligence, told The Debrief, the newly enacted Intelligence Authorization Act incorporates the Senate Intelligence Committee's report language calling for an unclassified all-source report on UAP phenomenon.

01:36:40.000 This was accomplished in the joint explanatory statement accompanying the bill.

01:36:45.000 Assuming the executive branch honors this important request, the nation will at long last have an objective basis for assessing the validity of the issue and its national security implications.

01:36:56.000 This is an extraordinary and long overdue opportunity.

01:36:59.000 So I want to go back to that image of that weird UFO that looks like it's on fire and crashing down Earth.

01:37:06.000 What is it?

01:37:08.000 We won't know, but maybe we'll find out soon, huh?

01:37:11.000 I don't know, man.

01:37:12.000 Do y'all believe it's aliens in general?

01:37:15.000 I don't know.

01:37:16.000 I don't think it's aliens.

01:37:17.000 No.

01:37:17.000 You don't think it is?

01:37:18.000 I believe in aliens.

01:37:19.000 I don't know if that is aliens specifically, but after talking to some high-level government officials that have personally told me that aliens do exist, yes, I personally do believe.

01:37:28.000 Do you think they're here, though?

01:37:29.000 I think so, yes.

01:37:31.000 Not in this room, specifically.

01:37:32.000 Are you sure?

01:37:38.000 I mean, again, we can't definitively prove this without a shadow of a doubt.

01:37:44.000 There is some circumstantial evidence that I think is somewhat convincing, but this year we have to also understand that there have been a lot of government admissions when it comes to aliens.

01:37:52.000 This is not the first time that this subject was brought up.

01:37:56.000 We have learned this year that the government lied about a secret Pentagon unit that they said never existed.

01:38:03.000 That's tracking a lot of this stuff.

01:38:04.000 So they actually are doing something.

01:38:06.000 They do have some data.

01:38:08.000 Will they share it with the American public?

01:38:10.000 That's another thing.

01:38:11.000 But I think it's probable to believe that something else is out there.

01:38:14.000 Do I have definitive proof?

01:38:16.000 No, I do not.

01:38:17.000 But isn't witness testimony circumstantial evidence?

01:38:21.000 Yes, it's circumstantial.

01:38:22.000 What's that dude in Canada?

01:38:24.000 Um, he's the former defense minister of Canada.

01:38:28.000 I gotta look up his name to tell you.

01:38:30.000 And he said, yup, they're aliens.

01:38:32.000 And then you got the Israeli Space Security Agency guy saying the same thing this year.

01:38:36.000 Yeah, the former head of the Israeli space program came out and said very similar things to what the former minister of defense for Canada said, is that there's an alien federation, that there's aliens trying trying to keep the peace galactic federation.

01:38:50.000 And so I was thinking something I was I was I was playing my PS5 the other day right?

01:38:55.000 And there's this game I saw a trailer for I think it's called stray.

01:38:58.000 And I guess I don't the game is about I should play cat.

01:39:01.000 But yeah, when you see it and on the wall it says rip humans.

01:39:05.000 And then the people are actually all robots.

01:39:08.000 And I thought about like what would happen if humans created a bunch of robots do tasks then humans died off.

01:39:13.000 What would those robots do?

01:39:14.000 Just keep going.

01:39:14.000 And I'm like, what if aliens created humans, but then left, and now humans are like, that's why we're like, what are we, what's our purpose?

01:39:21.000 We don't know.

01:39:21.000 We have all these crazy philosophical questions.

01:39:23.000 And the reality is, we just don't have one.

01:39:25.000 You know?

01:39:26.000 The aliens came, made humans left, because they didn't need to use human labor anymore.

01:39:30.000 And now they're chillin', watching, being like, what are they doing?

01:39:32.000 They're like, building cities?

01:39:33.000 Why?

01:39:34.000 I have the same question with this one that I had with the one that happened in China.

01:39:39.000 You know, it apparently crashed down to the earth.

01:39:41.000 Why don't we go to the site and see if we can find any pieces of it?

01:39:44.000 Did the whole thing burn up?

01:39:45.000 Is there absolutely no evidence left?

01:39:47.000 Like, why can't we find some kind of something to tell us what it might have been?

01:39:51.000 Because if it was just a jet, it's up in the air.

01:39:54.000 Yeah, I think we should begin at start telling us what was there.

01:39:57.000 Right.

01:39:57.000 Start giving us the evidence and proof of what was actually there and then let the people decide themselves.

01:40:03.000 You don't have to tell us who, what, where and what specifically you think happened.

01:40:08.000 Just show us exactly what happened.

01:40:09.000 And I think that level of transparency, that level of accountability is dearly needed within our government.

01:40:16.000 And I mean, this is something I personally want.

01:40:18.000 I was there at the Storm Area 51 protest.

01:40:21.000 Eagerly.

01:40:22.000 Waiting.

01:40:22.000 Livestreaming.

01:40:24.000 And it was like a cheap man's Burning Man.

01:40:27.000 Boo.

01:40:28.000 But I'm still shocked how we went from storm area 51 in one year to social distance, stay home to stop the curve or whatever in just a matter of a year.

01:40:39.000 I'm gonna tell you guys a crazy story.

01:40:41.000 Do you guys ever hear about the O'Hare Airport UFO?

01:40:43.000 Yes.

01:40:45.000 So, I worked for American Eagle Airlines.

01:40:48.000 It's a regional airline for American Airlines from 2004 to 2006.

01:40:53.000 And then shortly after I quit, a bunch of people working at the airport saw a UFO come down from the clouds and hover in place for a few minutes and then shoot straight back up to the clouds, punching a hole in it.

01:41:05.000 Everybody at the airport saw it.

01:41:06.000 Everybody working saw it.

01:41:07.000 So I knew a bunch of people who still worked there.

01:41:09.000 I had friends who worked there, and they were like, dude, we saw it.

01:41:11.000 It was crazy.

01:41:12.000 I knew one dude who said, so there's a road outside of O'Hare Airport called Mannheim Road.

01:41:18.000 And my friend said, people in their cars were stopped, like, waiting at the light.

01:41:22.000 And then when it came down from the sky, people got out of their cars and were just staring at it.

01:41:26.000 Like, just like watching it.

01:41:28.000 This is before the era of, you know, like the iPhone and a lot of smartphones.

01:41:31.000 Some people had phone cameras.

01:41:32.000 And so there was a pilot who looked out his window and he took a picture of it.

01:41:36.000 And the photo actually exists on Google.

01:41:38.000 You can pull it up.

01:41:39.000 It's difficult to find because a bunch of people made fake photos.

01:41:42.000 And it's a real bummer, but the real photo, you can still find it.

01:41:45.000 And you can faintly see it.

01:41:47.000 The crazy thing is, where are all these people that got out of their cars on Mannheim Road and just stood there staring at this UFO?

01:41:54.000 And then they said it was a weather phenomenon.

01:41:56.000 And I knew people who worked at the airport.

01:41:58.000 They were like, dude, no way.

01:41:59.000 Like it came down and hovered and you could see it.

01:42:02.000 And then it shot, sort of punched a hole in the cloud.

01:42:04.000 What was that?

01:42:05.000 Magnetic craft.

01:42:06.000 Magnetic craft?

01:42:07.000 Aluminum, maybe.

01:42:08.000 Lightweight.

01:42:09.000 Yeah, I would imagine.

01:42:12.000 You're actually describing what the UFO was?

01:42:13.000 Yeah, like a fusion power source from being moved around by a magnet or something.

01:42:17.000 So did aliens.

01:42:19.000 No, it's human.

01:42:20.000 Oh! 0.60

01:42:20.000 It's Tesla tech. 0.60

01:42:21.000 Could be, yeah.

01:42:22.000 I mean there's many people with many different beliefs.

01:42:24.000 There's religious people who are talking about demons and other kind of energetic entities out there.

01:42:30.000 There's of course conspiracy theorists who are saying UFOs, aliens.

01:42:33.000 There's other conspiracy theories saying that this is advanced government technology that they're keeping away from the people.

01:42:39.000 There's many different belief systems out there, but I think, again, we should start with the government telling us the truth and stop classifying and hiding information from the general public.

01:42:48.000 I think that's a great start.

01:42:49.000 The problem is, yeah, but Flapper lied under oath blatantly.

01:42:51.000 Under oath.

01:42:52.000 And they lie about everything.

01:42:53.000 Yeah, so I have zero faith.

01:42:55.000 So what would you, yeah, like, even if they did come out and say, and I think that's, they know that, right?

01:42:59.000 They don't have to say anything, just show us what happened.

01:43:01.000 Yeah, well, that's the thing, though.

01:43:03.000 Stop hiding.

01:43:04.000 Who knows what that's gonna be though, you know?

01:43:06.000 The way they approach it is that they're not... I don't think they're completely oblivious to the fact that, okay, if we say that something is going to happen, they don't trust us enough to tell the truth, right?

01:43:16.000 So, like, is it even if they came out with something, said this is what it was, it was an alien?

01:43:21.000 The fear is that if aliens revealed themselves to us, the world would tear itself apart.

01:43:26.000 And I hear a lot of people who... Hold on.

01:43:29.000 People in America might be able to accept it.

01:43:31.000 People in the U.S.

01:43:31.000 might be like, wow, I guess aliens are real.

01:43:33.000 We can accept, like, there's, like, lizard people. 1.00

01:43:35.000 But we already are tearing each other apart.

01:43:37.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:43:38.000 What about other cultures and other countries that are way more fundamentalist and would go insane and press the nuke button and just go nuts?

01:43:47.000 I don't think that would happen.

01:43:49.000 Of course.

01:43:49.000 You think everyone in the world would be like, oh, aliens are real and start holding hands and singing under the

01:43:52.000 rainbow?

01:43:53.000 No, no, I'll tell you what would happen.

01:43:54.000 The aliens would come here and then everyone would be in competition to get access to that technology.

01:43:58.000 Of course.

01:43:59.000 Imagine if they already are.

01:44:00.000 This is why China built one of the largest kind of satellites in the world trying to read signals from outer

01:44:06.000 space.

01:44:06.000 It's a weird argument because it's like if dogs could talk, people would go crazy.

01:44:10.000 So maybe dogs can talk.

01:44:12.000 What do you mean?

01:44:12.000 Well, I mean, are you purporting that there's aliens?

01:44:14.000 Because if there were, they wouldn't have revealed themselves?

01:44:17.000 If aliens reveal themselves, the world will tear itself apart.

01:44:21.000 That's one of the fears of aliens.

01:44:22.000 That's not an argument for there being aliens, because if dogs could talk, the world would rip itself apart.

01:44:26.000 If people could fly, but they never flew... Ian, what are you talking about?

01:44:29.000 If I could levitate, but I never levitated... What does that have to do with anything?

01:44:31.000 Well, are you making the argument that there might be aliens because if they revealed themselves they would drive people crazy so they're not revealing themselves?

01:44:39.000 No, I'm saying there is a fear that if the government did tell us the truth and revealed to the world aliens existed, it could cause international conflict.

01:44:48.000 But if the government told us that dogs could talk, it might also make international... Except they can't.

01:44:53.000 What do you mean?

01:44:54.000 And there's no aliens.

01:44:55.000 And what does dogs talking have to do with light speed travel and ion cannons and teleportation?

01:45:00.000 You're creating like, you're suggesting like a... Dogs talking... A near impossibility might be real.

01:45:05.000 No it isn't.

01:45:06.000 Aliens visiting Earth is like a 0.0000002% chance.

01:45:11.000 Actually, you're totally wrong!

01:45:13.000 Do you know what Fermi's Paradox is?

01:45:20.000 The actual likelihood that intelligent life exists in the universe is substantially high.

01:45:25.000 I believe that.

01:45:26.000 And so there's questions as to why we're not encountering them.

01:45:29.000 Because they're far away.

01:45:30.000 One of them is called, I think it's called the Great Zoo Hypothesis.

01:45:33.000 That they treat the Earth like a forest preserve and ignore it.

01:45:36.000 There's a bunch of theories about this.

01:45:38.000 But the mathematical probability that aliens exist, and that they're substantially more advanced than us, is mathematically very high.

01:45:44.000 And so the question in Fermi's Paradox is, why haven't we seen them yet?

01:45:48.000 And there's a bunch of different hypothetical answers as to why that would be.

01:45:52.000 So we don't know.

01:45:53.000 So what I'm saying is, I'm not saying aliens are here.

01:45:56.000 I have no idea.

01:45:57.000 We have no evidence to say that, except for the fantastic reports of flying crazy vehicles at O'Hare, or whatever.

01:46:04.000 But that could just be military tech, and it's substantially more likely it is.

01:46:07.000 But as I was pointing out, one of the concerns, as we're talking about the government keeping secrets, is a fear that if the world found out right now about aliens... That's what they say, though.

01:46:16.000 That's why it's classified.

01:46:17.000 Right, because people would lose their minds when they realize it.

01:46:19.000 Do you think they would lose their mind, Eric?

01:46:22.000 I think it goes back to culture, because that's a great point.

01:46:25.000 I think we, you know, yes, we have this sort of diverse culture in America, but when you talk to other cultures about, you know, pockets of Africa, and like, that see the world just fundamentally different than what it is that we do.

01:46:41.000 I think that they would react in a different way.

01:46:44.000 I think a lot of Americans come to terms, I think it'd be a lot more curiosity than anything.

01:46:50.000 Because at that point, it's like, if we get a confirmation of something that we assume, that we've seen all this, it's embedded in our culture.

01:46:57.000 Aliens, right?

01:46:58.000 We got movies, movies, and X-Files.

01:47:00.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:47:01.000 Show, TV shows.

01:47:02.000 Like, it's this assumption that, well, we have this assumption in how they look.

01:47:05.000 Hell, they might look like us.

01:47:06.000 Who knows?

01:47:08.000 How exactly they will look, but we have all of these theories, but I think a lot of Americans assume that that's a thing.

01:47:16.000 Now, would they rip each other apart is an interesting question, but I think that it would be more than anything, if there was an emotion, it would be more so a curiosity, because it's like, if you confirmed right now, let's say if the government said, all right, we ain't got Trump on his way out, scorch earth.

01:47:32.000 Say, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, I'm not gonna be the president, bet.

01:47:36.000 Bam.

01:47:37.000 Here's the proof right here.

01:47:38.000 Here's a video.

01:47:39.000 Here's a, here's a, here's a, and it's Trump giving thumbs up.

01:47:42.000 Yeah.

01:47:43.000 And it's like all 4k HD and everything.

01:47:47.000 They're eating McDonald's.

01:47:50.000 It's as advanced as you can possibly get.

01:47:53.000 I think at that point, I know at least speaking on home, I'd be like, just curious, like more than anything.

01:47:58.000 I wouldn't want to fight my neighbor.

01:48:00.000 What do you think would happen if a video came out of Trump hanging out with aliens?

01:48:03.000 China would go nuts. 0.95

01:48:04.000 China would declare war or something.

01:48:06.000 That's a good point.

01:48:07.000 And that's I think that's where it goes back to the culture, because it's like at that point, it's like, oh, wow,

01:48:10.000 they have access to this advanced sort of.

01:48:13.000 Yep.

01:48:13.000 They're getting hooked up.

01:48:14.000 Right.

01:48:15.000 Oh, my God, this is the real thing.

01:48:17.000 So who knows, man?

01:48:19.000 That's a good point.

01:48:19.000 According to these two high-level government officials, the Canadian and Israeli one, the aliens are the ones that are specifically stopping nuclear Armageddon.

01:48:27.000 That's according to, again, the former head of the Israeli space program, the Canadian Minister of Defense, and he's saying that the humans are not ready for them, but the aliens are here preventing a larger conflict from expanding.

01:48:39.000 I was watching some crazy thing about orangutans fishing and stuff, you know?

01:48:45.000 Okay.

01:48:45.000 Like, we're more technologically advanced than they are, watching them do these things.

01:48:50.000 Like, there could come to a certain point where we see animals fighting in such a way that we would stop them.

01:48:54.000 We would be like, man, this is crazy.

01:48:56.000 Imagine if we were watching, you know, it's a thousand years in the future, and we're flying around with teleport packs and jet packs, and then the orangutans now have nukes.

01:49:04.000 Yeah, we'd probably stop them.

01:49:06.000 You know what I mean?

01:49:06.000 We'd be like, dude!

01:49:07.000 You're gonna blow everything up!

01:49:08.000 Chill, what are you doing? 0.64

01:49:08.000 You're all a little too advanced. 0.64

01:49:10.000 So the aliens would come back, and you're saying like... What I'm saying is, it makes sense that aliens would stop us from blowing ourselves up, because we'd be screwing everything up.

01:49:17.000 You know, there's a relatively small amount of planets that sustain life and are in this position.

01:49:21.000 Assuming that they were here, which is a grand assumption.

01:49:25.000 I don't think that they're here.

01:49:26.000 That has nothing to do with what I just said.

01:49:27.000 I said, it would make sense that an advanced species would stop a lower... It wouldn't make sense that there is an advanced species here.

01:49:34.000 Okay, so anyway, my point, what you're saying has nothing to do with my point, is that it makes sense for human beings to stop less advanced races from blowing themselves up with bombs. 0.89

01:49:44.000 Like, if you saw a bunch of orangutans playing with dynamite, you'd probably be like, we gotta stop them, that's crazy!

01:49:49.000 And you'd probably stop them by any means necessary, because you got a bunch of, you know, chimps and monkeys playing with explosives. 0.62

01:49:56.000 You would stop them.

01:49:56.000 Sometimes, but when monkeys hunt themselves in the woods, you don't go in and stop them.

01:50:00.000 Yeah, because they're not playing with dynamite and TNT.

01:50:02.000 Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe... Oh, you think if they were proposing a threat to you, maybe Why do you think, and I ask you, I'm gonna ask all of you guys, why do we think that the assumption is that they are, if they are to exist, they're more technologically advanced than us?

01:50:40.000 Well, but, no, no, no, but it's all insanity.

01:50:42.000 It's that if any alien species is advanced enough to come here, then they will be more advanced than us.

01:50:48.000 Okay.

01:50:49.000 To such an extreme degree that a lot of people need to understand a couple things, like, do you, can you communicate with an ant?

01:50:55.000 Not really.

01:50:56.000 I mean, we can play with the pheromones and make them walk in lines and stuff, but you can't exchange meaningful ideas with them.

01:51:02.000 We can kind of understand what they do and why they do it after being studied, but it, you know, one of the things, I was watching this crazy documentary talking about alien life and the components for life and the misconceptions people have about aliens coming here and walking around.

01:51:14.000 Like, they wouldn't even survive in our atmosphere.

01:51:16.000 Like, by all mathematical calculations about the variety of elements we know of, they could have to exist in some kind of weird methane atmosphere or something.

01:51:23.000 But even if they did come here, it's like, the level of advancement from a species, you know, able to travel, you know, well beyond our understanding, in all likelihood would either be substantially more advanced than we are, and that would be like you trying to explain to an ant how a highway works.

01:51:39.000 But do you think, like, on, let's say, other planets and whatnot, like, that there are lesser advanced beings that are there now?

01:51:45.000 You think definitely that's the case?

01:51:48.000 I think, obviously, you look at the oceans of Earth, Humans are incredibly lucky when it comes to creating computers and cameras.

01:51:55.000 Like, if we... Look at dolphins, man.

01:51:57.000 They're smart, right?

01:51:58.000 But they don't have thumbs.

01:52:00.000 So they can't do anything.

01:52:00.000 Not only that, imagine if dolphins had arms.

01:52:02.000 How are they gonna start a fire to actually separate elements and create wires and components?

01:52:08.000 They can't do it underwater.

01:52:10.000 So even dolphins, octopuses, they can manipulate stuff, but they can't do anything because they're underwater.

01:52:17.000 I guess, theoretically, you can go to a lava vent and hold something close to it, try and separate the iron out of the rock or something like that.

01:52:22.000 But we get fire, we melt down a rock, we can separate the elements, and then we can slowly, from there, start doing crazy things.

01:52:29.000 I guess there's probably different chemical reactions that could happen underwater, but there's probably planets with water on it, where you've got intelligent beings that just live underwater and can't do anything.

01:52:39.000 Can't build a spaceship and can't leave.

01:52:43.000 Titan?

01:52:43.000 Triton?

01:52:43.000 What's the name of the moon?

01:52:45.000 Saturn?

01:52:46.000 Is that Saturn or Jupiter?

01:52:49.000 Saturn's moon is Titan, isn't it?

01:52:52.000 One of these moons, they think, could actually have liquid water because of the gravitational pull.

01:52:58.000 of the planet, I don't know if it's Saturn or Jupiter, is like causing it to stretch back and forth,

01:53:02.000 which creates friction, which then creates liquid water.

01:53:05.000 And they say there could be life, because where there's liquid water, there tends to be life.

01:53:09.000 But even if it was intelligent, what's it gonna do, break through the crust

01:53:11.000 and then fly in outer space?

01:53:12.000 It wouldn't be able to do it.

01:53:13.000 Yeah, so it's just there.

01:53:14.000 Right, so there's probably a lot of intelligent alien life that doesn't have the ability to create tools

01:53:19.000 and do anything like that.

01:53:20.000 There's a lot of probabilities here, but there's one constant.

01:53:24.000 The government lies.

01:53:26.000 That's the moral of the story.

01:53:28.000 The government lies, and with that we'll go to Super Chat.

01:53:31.000 So if you haven't already, smash that like button and subscribe to the notification bell, and we're gonna read what y'all have to say right now.

01:53:39.000 Actually, I like to go back to the earlier and make sure I get everybody, but here's a really good super chat.

01:53:44.000 Daniel Ury says, What religion and economic model will the aliens follow?

01:53:48.000 What if they're like the Ferengi and they're like hardcore capitalists? 1.00

01:53:52.000 You guys ever watch Star Trek Next Generation?

01:53:53.000 Yeah.

01:53:55.000 Man, they did really, really great writing with philosophy and the consequence of technological advancement.

01:54:00.000 For those that aren't familiar, the Ferengi are aliens that bought their way into interstellar travel.

01:54:07.000 Yes.

01:54:07.000 Whereas most of the species developed it through science, they were like merchants who met an alien species that had warp drive and said, we'll buy it off you.

01:54:16.000 Enterprise, baby.

01:54:17.000 Yeah, man.

01:54:18.000 Shows good, huh?

01:54:18.000 Raising living standards, huh?

01:54:19.000 Yeah.

01:54:20.000 Yeah.

01:54:21.000 I love how the left calls it space communism.

01:54:23.000 It's literally not that.

01:54:26.000 I got in an argument about it, and they were like, you know, no one wants for anything.

01:54:30.000 And I was like, dude, people have prime real estate on the beach.

01:54:33.000 They actually show scenes where people have houses on the waterfront in San Francisco.

01:54:38.000 Like, is that just you won it in the lottery?

01:54:40.000 No, people of merit get it.

01:54:42.000 Anyway, I digress.

01:54:44.000 Let's see.

01:54:45.000 Daniel J. Korica says, divided we fall.

01:54:48.000 If as a nation we don't come back together, we will fall.

01:54:52.000 I mean, yes, if the country breaks apart, then it falls, because it literally broke apart.

01:54:57.000 But I think individual states could thrive.

01:54:59.000 Absolutely!

01:55:00.000 I mean, we accept this idea that states are way smaller than, or countries way smaller than the U.S.

01:55:07.000 can thrive.

01:55:08.000 So why couldn't individual states thrive? 0.97

01:55:10.000 So I'm nervous that we're being made useful idiots that when we talk about because I agree that if we if we become divided, we're it's over. 0.66

01:55:18.000 And when we talk about the left and the right, I think that that idea is being seeded into us from it's insidious to think that it's China, the Chinese Communist Party using the internet to make us get more clicks and likes when we use those phrases, because the diversity, the divert, you know, it's, but people like drama. 0.93

01:55:37.000 And so they're drawn to this, like, easy to visualize paradigm.

01:55:42.000 But I think that it's, it's so dangerous, like Mao used rightists as his primary focus of who he went after in the Chinese Cultural Revolution, they were called rightists, he was talking about people on the right, and he used that to rally the country to violence.

01:55:56.000 So I don't want to use those phrases anymore.

01:56:02.000 I would say right off hand that it is just a useful like kind of shorthand to keep track of who's who and we do have that useful spectrum.

01:56:10.000 All right, let's see.

01:56:11.000 Let's read some more of these Super Chats. 0.96

01:56:12.000 Joel says, Taxation is theft and listen to back words.

01:56:16.000 Oh, yeah.

01:56:17.000 Appreciate that.

01:56:19.000 DanSawF says, Tim, Tannerite is really easy to make.

01:56:22.000 It takes some ice packs and some aluminum powder and you can buy it on Amazon for less than $40.

01:56:27.000 So, what is that?

01:56:29.000 Do you guys know what that is?

01:56:32.000 Things that go boom.

01:56:33.000 Oh, that's awesome.

01:56:34.000 I don't know if you want to be sharing all that.

01:56:36.000 Good to know.

01:56:37.000 If YouTube allows someone to super chat that, they ban a whole bunch of words.

01:56:42.000 You wanna allow that?

01:56:43.000 Well, I don't know. 0.99

01:56:44.000 dim fool please be in DC on the 6th America needs you now more than ever I 0.99

01:56:48.000 know you're a milquetoast fence-sitter but this is not about left versus right 0.98

01:56:51.000 it's about we the people we need you well I don't I mean look if we go down to DC

01:56:55.000 and we do a show and we interview people who are there and, like, you know, they'll speak and then they'll come up to our hotel or whatever and we'll talk to them, like, that can be more effective than being further away.

01:57:03.000 I think the worst case scenarios will be close enough to D.C.

01:57:06.000 to get, like, a post-interview with some prominent people, but, uh, there's a bunch of combination of factors.

01:57:11.000 The Internet's gotta work, we gotta have the system set up and tested, and then there's security issues, which are very serious.

01:57:16.000 I'm for it, so we'll see what happens.

01:57:19.000 I'm hearing, I don't even know if I should say this, but I should probably say it as a warning.

01:57:24.000 I'm hearing people are going armed.

01:57:26.000 And the problem is, you can't bring guns into DC.

01:57:28.000 But I've seen posts on the internet where people are talking about they don't care.

01:57:32.000 Because if 10 million people are shot, they're like, that's bad, man.

01:57:35.000 That's when things get crazy.

01:57:36.000 I've got mixed feelings about it.

01:57:38.000 I've got negative feelings about it.

01:57:39.000 I'm starting to question if we should do this.

01:57:42.000 Well, what's the purpose of going there and making a physical presence?

01:57:47.000 Is it just causing more stress than it needs to?

01:57:49.000 I'm not going there to do anything political.

01:57:51.000 I'm going there to do a show, to talk to people who are there and ask them why they're doing it.

01:57:55.000 Being able to report on the ground and see exactly what's happening away from the spin, away from the editorializing, is key and important.

01:58:03.000 So that to me is why it's important to go.

01:58:05.000 Trump has put out multiple tweets.

01:58:08.000 Be there.

01:58:09.000 I'll see you there.

01:58:09.000 It's gonna be wild.

01:58:11.000 And then people are talking about bringing tents, and, and, and, and... You know, look, an Occupy non-violent civil disobedience, I think is great.

01:58:18.000 If everybody just, you know, opened their businesses or whatever, then we'd all just carry on.

01:58:23.000 Everything would be fine.

01:58:24.000 But there are a lot of people who, like I said, they're getting desperate.

01:58:26.000 They got nothing left to lose, and that's when it gets scary.

01:58:29.000 So, I don't know what's gonna happen, man, but I'm hearing, I'm hearing scary stuff.

01:58:32.000 That's why I said security is a very serious issue.

01:58:34.000 You know?

01:58:34.000 It might not be a good idea to go down there.

01:58:36.000 For everybody else who wants to protest, I can't.

01:58:37.000 Look, you have your First Amendment rights to go and protest.

01:58:40.000 But when I'm hearing a lot of stuff, Antifa's gonna get down there, it's gonna get spicy, whatever.

01:58:44.000 It gets worrying, man.

01:58:45.000 All right, let's see.

01:58:47.000 Jonathan Westcott says, Hey Tim, Black Votes Matter is running ads here in Georgia saying they'll be running raffles for people who show up to vote.

01:58:54.000 Straight up admitting it now, because they think no one will call them out.

01:58:57.000 Man, that's crazy.

01:58:59.000 blackmagic says government is just a social construct for when a group of people wish to band together to perform immoral actions while justifying those actions as morally good change my mind what's the smallest form of government tribal government Well, non-existent one.

01:59:13.000 The family?

01:59:14.000 Yeah, the family probably.

01:59:15.000 Yeah, I would say so, yeah.

01:59:16.000 That's a good point.

01:59:17.000 Probably the family.

01:59:18.000 Or the individual?

01:59:19.000 No, the individual isn't the government.

01:59:21.000 You can just act on your own.

01:59:22.000 But when you have a group of people who agree on certain terms and someone's in charge, maybe the family is the smallest form of possible government.

01:59:30.000 Family's not a bad thing.

01:59:31.000 I mean, even local governments are crooked.

01:59:34.000 It's hard to scale up properly.

01:59:35.000 Corruption just becomes a part of the system.

01:59:37.000 We have in the United States, we got a serious problem.

01:59:39.000 Yeah, too much federal government, I think is the big problem.

01:59:41.000 I mean, even local governments are crooked.

01:59:44.000 It's like it's hard to scale up properly.

01:59:47.000 Corruption just becomes a part of the system.

01:59:49.000 So I don't know how you solve for that problem.

01:59:51.000 But like, look, a tribal, you know, a group of hippies on a farm probably got a form of

01:59:57.000 government that works just fine.

01:59:58.000 You know, they have rules.

02:00:01.000 If you violate the rules, there's some kind of punishment.

02:00:04.000 You're off the farm.

02:00:05.000 You're leaving.

02:00:06.000 You can't live here anymore.

02:00:07.000 You know, oh, exile.

02:00:09.000 But it gets really difficult when you can't go anywhere.

02:00:11.000 Like, the United States is controlled entirely by the federal government.

02:00:14.000 So it's like, if you break one law in one place, there's no, like, you get locked in a box.

02:00:19.000 And so it's, I think exile is actually preferable to imprisonment, but you can't do it because people have nowhere to go.

02:00:26.000 Did you see Spain as putting people on lists?

02:00:28.000 I know this is a bit of a tangent.

02:00:29.000 Oh, if they don't wear masks.

02:00:30.000 Or if they don't get the vaccine, I think.

02:00:32.000 Yeah, if they don't get the vaccine.

02:00:33.000 All right, let's see.

02:00:35.000 Sterling Jennings says, when anyone YouTuber, right-leaning thought leader is asked if they would run for officer at a movement, they always say no, but I would support someone doing it.

02:00:44.000 How is anything going to get done if the people who have influence defer to others?

02:00:48.000 That's a really good point.

02:00:50.000 Uh, cause you know, I wouldn't want to be in office.

02:00:52.000 That sounds awful.

02:00:54.000 Do you Luke?

02:00:54.000 I would hate myself if I was a politician.

02:00:57.000 You look at these Democrats, they want power and they'll take it.

02:01:00.000 And you look at the Republicans too, but the listen, the Republicans aren't arguing on behalf of what Republican, what the voters actually want.

02:01:09.000 That's just a fact.

02:01:10.000 Well, you never want to give power to someone who's hungry for it.

02:01:12.000 You always want to give it to someone that doesn't want it.

02:01:15.000 I would love to take it and then make the system so that when we're gone they don't need us anymore.

02:01:22.000 Well, the problem is I don't think I know what's better for someone else.

02:01:26.000 I can't make that determination and this is why I don't want to be a ruler over someone.

02:01:31.000 You'd be a good ruler because of that.

02:01:34.000 Yeah, but how are you going to be a ruler?

02:01:36.000 That's the conundrum, right?

02:01:37.000 Defer to your subservience.

02:01:39.000 That's the conundrum.

02:01:40.000 How can you be a ruler without being a ruler is just by being an example.

02:01:44.000 That's why I've been preaching and talking about decentralization and personal responsibility.

02:01:49.000 If we have enough individuals that are responsible for each other, we won't need government.

02:01:55.000 Uh, to interact and inject itself when it's not needed.

02:01:58.000 So, that to me is the key, and that to me is a lot better than me becoming your overlord, telling you what to do.

02:02:03.000 Yes.

02:02:04.000 Alright, NukeTheIceCap says, What I do enjoy about the obvious overage of authority.

02:02:08.000 Left and right are looking at each other from a different angle.

02:02:12.000 Yeah, we want the divorce, but these politicians are rightly worried.

02:02:14.000 The thing they fear the most is staring them in the face.

02:02:18.000 Interesting.

02:02:19.000 Bookman?

02:02:19.000 Justin Bowman says, I wasn't big into politics until my games, comics, shows, and movies

02:02:23.000 became politicized.

02:02:25.000 But in some ways I'm glad it happened or else I'd be just another consumer.

02:02:28.000 By the way, Tim, it's pronounced Bookman.

02:02:30.000 Oh, okay.

02:02:32.000 I winced when you read my name, when you read my chat yesterday.

02:02:35.000 Hi, Ian, Luke, and Lids.

02:02:36.000 Be safe.

02:02:37.000 Bookman.

02:02:38.000 What up, Bookman?

02:02:39.000 Bookman.

02:02:40.000 Rye Chaser says, Eric, I'm worried about the future of the entertainment industry.

02:02:43.000 I'm currently in film school and when we pitch our film ideas, everyone only talks about how diverse and political their film will be.

02:02:49.000 Oh my god, man.

02:02:50.000 I know, man.

02:02:51.000 It's like, for those of you guys who aren't like comic book guys.

02:02:56.000 it's it's rough right now like not just in the but you see it happening in the shows it's over emphasis of diversity so you have this tokenization of all these characters classically white characters they want a black version they want a uh a gender neutral version but it's even worse in the books like we're getting gender neutral neutral flash Yes, that's about to be a thing.

02:03:16.000 Why are they doing that?

02:03:18.000 a gender neutral flash is about to be a thing. 1.00

02:03:20.000 All sorts of does he flash his gender? 0.89

02:03:24.000 I mean, his genitalia changes it.

02:03:27.000 Why are they doing that?

02:03:28.000 Well, it's they they are trying to appeal to people that don't buy books.

02:03:32.000 Right. It's these writers are cocky.

02:03:35.000 And for those of y'all that follow me on Twitter, you see me go back and forth with these guys. 0.99

02:03:38.000 These guys are narcissistic and they're cocky.

02:03:41.000 They're not even in the business anymore of trying to sell books or try to make something for a consumer. 0.63

02:03:46.000 That was the difference between comic books.

02:03:48.000 Now, even the ones that they say were political, it's that they were maxed.

02:03:52.000 It was balanced in that it was maxed enough to where it wasn't overtly political.

02:03:59.000 Like, only when it was, like, going at Hitler and stuff like that.

02:04:02.000 Yeah, Captain America was the most politicized Right, but people forget, people always talk about Hitler, right?

02:04:08.000 But forget what Captain America, when he started, prior to that, he was beating up Nazis, but before that he was beating up Communists.

02:04:16.000 He used to be called the Commie Smasher.

02:04:18.000 People forget all about that.

02:04:21.000 But no, it was way more balanced, whereas now people are writing books, doing shows, with the they're trying to lecture the audience right it's about trying to make sure that you agree with them socially so they gotta tell their story that comes second right the actual story it doesn't even have to make sense for them it's about what kind of social spin can we put uh on this can

02:04:44.000 We focus on racial matters.

02:04:46.000 Can we focus on other social matters and try to beat you over the head with that, as opposed to making something that not only appeals to that market, but can appeal to even a wider demographic of people?

02:04:59.000 Because why?

02:05:00.000 Like my favorite comic book character as an adult is Batman.

02:05:05.000 I couldn't be further from Batman.

02:05:07.000 Batman's white and he's rich.

02:05:09.000 I am neither of those.

02:05:11.000 But I love him, right?

02:05:12.000 There's attributes and traits that he has.

02:05:15.000 Like Flash was my favorite character growing up.

02:05:17.000 He was a track athlete.

02:05:18.000 Yeah.

02:05:19.000 So that was why I connected.

02:05:21.000 My mother gave me, that was one of the first books that I read back in the 90s, Flashbook.

02:05:25.000 You ever see Static Shock?

02:05:26.000 Yes.

02:05:27.000 That was Diversity Done Right.

02:05:28.000 Yeah, it was an authentic, new, original character.

02:05:32.000 And I don't know any comic book fan that's like, they don't want that.

02:05:35.000 What they don't want is to A black version of this character that I always- No, we want originality.

02:05:40.000 This is why we like Luke Cage.

02:05:41.000 This is why we like Static, which is why we like Storm, Bishop.

02:05:44.000 We like these characters because they're original, right?

02:05:47.000 That's what we want, originality, but they're in the interest of- Recycling.

02:05:51.000 Hand-me-down heroes.

02:05:52.000 Hand-me-down characters.

02:05:52.000 That's exactly what it is.

02:05:53.000 Yup.

02:05:54.000 That's what always makes me like, isn't that more offensive?

02:05:56.000 Absolutely!

02:05:57.000 Instead of saying, we're gonna write original, compelling stories for a larger audience, they're like, we'll just give you the old ones we don't use anymore.

02:06:04.000 Yep, that's it.

02:06:04.000 We'll just recycle them.

02:06:05.000 We'll just say they have the same symbol, suit, and everything. 0.98

02:06:08.000 Now the guy just is all of a sudden homosexual. 0.98

02:06:11.000 I did like End of the Spider-Verse, Miles Morales. 0.66

02:06:14.000 Well, my thing about... I hate Miles, by the way.

02:06:16.000 You don't like him? 0.54

02:06:16.000 No, I hate Miles. 0.54

02:06:17.000 I hate Miles.

02:06:18.000 I hate him in the books. 0.99

02:06:19.000 I hate him.

02:06:19.000 He's just like... And I come from a different perspective, right?

02:06:22.000 Because I'm a book reader.

02:06:24.000 And Miles Morales, he's been around for a while now.

02:06:28.000 He's just a re-skinned Peter Parker.

02:06:30.000 There is absolutely nothing from his character we've seen Over the long years of Peter Parker being young, being... We've seen all of that from him.

02:06:40.000 There's little quirky kind of comments and what he... All of that stuff is what we've seen out of that.

02:06:45.000 What I more so appreciate is when they try to make a more so newer character.

02:06:51.000 DC creates Naomi or Silencer or something like that.

02:06:53.000 Original black character or something like that.

02:06:56.000 That's what I value.

02:06:56.000 I'm not necessarily in the interest of taking a historically white male character and saying, we'll just...

02:07:03.000 But now they're making those, what was that, what was that Dora the Explorer superhero?

02:07:07.000 You know that one?

02:07:08.000 Yeah, yeah, Marvel did it.

02:07:09.000 I think it was Marvel that did it. 0.99

02:07:10.000 Yeah, she's fat. 1.00

02:07:11.000 The gender-neutral, non-binary brother and sister, whatever. 0.92

02:07:14.000 Oh, Snowflake in, uh... Yeah, Safe Space.

02:07:18.000 New Mutants, right?

02:07:19.000 New Warriors, New Warriors.

02:07:21.000 But then you had Dora the Explorer.

02:07:23.000 Yeah. 0.83

02:07:23.000 It was a fat Latina chick with a backpack that has like all this space in it to pull out random stuff. 0.83

02:07:27.000 Like literally it was Dora. 0.80

02:07:28.000 It was like the weirdest thing ever.

02:07:30.000 And they end up not putting it out, thank God.

02:07:32.000 Oh, they didn't?

02:07:32.000 No, they didn't.

02:07:33.000 They ended up not putting it.

02:07:34.000 That was so bad to where they were like, they were like, okay guys.

02:07:38.000 These are the new New Warriors?

02:07:39.000 Yeah, there was a New Warriors, basically a New Warriors.

02:07:42.000 So now, so you're talking about all those original New Warriors.

02:07:45.000 Kind of were being put to the, they were there in the background but it was about these new characters, safe space and all these weird guys.

02:07:52.000 Could create like barriers or whatever.

02:07:55.000 It was one of the worst, that's like one of the worst examples.

02:07:57.000 The worst examples.

02:07:58.000 The entire super group of them.

02:08:00.000 We need, I think, you know if you look back at the creation of a lot of the comics and superheroes, these ideas were original.

02:08:06.000 The Hulk.

02:08:07.000 Absolutely.

02:08:07.000 If he gets angry he turns into a giant monster.

02:08:09.000 There was nothing like it before and that's why people were so attracted to it.

02:08:11.000 But now everything's recycled and regitated.

02:08:13.000 You know, Rob Liefeld started to do... No offense, Rob, if you're listening.

02:08:18.000 I thought Cable... I loved Cable in the 90s, but... Man, he was a trash character. 0.98

02:08:22.000 He didn't do anything. 0.96

02:08:23.000 He was a cybernetic.

02:08:24.000 He had mental powers like every other... Travel through time.

02:08:27.000 Oh, apparently he could travel through time.

02:08:29.000 Well, no, he had technology that could do that.

02:08:30.000 He had a cybernetic arm.

02:08:31.000 And then that whole Rob Liefeld would recycle, like, every group had a wolfman in it, and then they made Brigade for Image Comics, and it was like every group had a guy like this, a woman, you know, a wolfman, a big guy in the background.

02:08:44.000 We need some original superpowers.

02:08:47.000 It's like everything, everything feels generic.

02:08:49.000 Yeah.

02:08:49.000 And it's not like everything.

02:08:51.000 There's a lot of creative people.

02:08:52.000 There are a lot of original comic book guys that have kind of deviated from, uh, uh, former DC kind of have them on my show all the time from a guys that write as a DC and Marvel that are creating the original characters.

02:09:03.000 Um, and that's what I think we need.

02:09:05.000 And in the world's ripe right now for it right now, I think more than ever before, and maybe not so much, but right now they are so bad for you guys.

02:09:12.000 Those that don't keep up with books.

02:09:13.000 When I say there are like comic books are the worst that they have ever been.

02:09:18.000 Like, when I talk about content-wise, they are the worst that they have ever, for both mainstream comics in DC and Marvel.

02:09:25.000 They don't sell, and there's a reason why they don't sell.

02:09:28.000 They're insulting their fans, they're insulting the people that are long-time readers for these, again, it's about lecturing the audience is more so what they're into.

02:09:36.000 What about manga, though?

02:09:37.000 Do you read manga?

02:09:37.000 No, everybody keeps telling me, like, that's where it's at.

02:09:40.000 It's actually, in some cases, starting to sell more, even in America, more than what the modern comics.

02:09:46.000 I haven't kept up with any recent manga, for the most part, but I read all of Naruto and Shippuden, and Death Note, and there's a bunch of other stuff, obviously, Bleach.

02:09:57.000 Those are kind of obvious, but that was a long time ago, I was reading all those.

02:10:02.000 They were just better stories.

02:10:03.000 And they don't worry about that, and it's interesting, right?

02:10:07.000 Original female characters right that don't have to be rehashed versions of a male character They do that so well you see that in anime as well, so that's why I can't this whole world all the ideas I've been done, and I'm like have you read watched an anime, but their powers are unique you need exactly How weird was it?

02:10:24.000 I don't know you've not seen any anime anything like that.

02:10:26.000 I've watched anime You watch you watch Naruto Yes.

02:10:29.000 It was the weirdest thing watching Sasuke have hands grow out of his back.

02:10:32.000 Yeah.

02:10:33.000 It's like, for those that aren't familiar, it's like, it's one of, it's a ninja, and then he gets his power, and like, hands and fingers grow out of his back.

02:10:38.000 It's the weirdest thing ever, but I'm like, at least it's original, man.

02:10:40.000 Yeah, no, that's what- It's like, comics in the U.S.

02:10:42.000 have become generic.

02:10:43.000 Yeah, there's the same rehash, and this is why I can't let them make it, because you do see examples of that manga, anime, where the Japanese are able to make original characters, original concepts that we have never seen before, that just knock it out the park. 0.94

02:10:58.000 One punch, man.

02:10:59.000 Yes, yes.

02:11:00.000 Amazing.

02:11:00.000 Yes, it's another one.

02:11:01.000 It's like, they're new.

02:11:02.000 They're like, these are things that have come out within the last decade, right?

02:11:05.000 And it's not coming out here.

02:11:06.000 Yeah, exactly.

02:11:07.000 And then you also have My Hero Academia.

02:11:10.000 Attack on Titan.

02:11:11.000 Another one, like all these, yeah, like all these newer, like these are things that have happened within like recent, recent, recent years and they knock it out the park.

02:11:21.000 It's because they know what they're doing and they're writing stories for their consumers Yeah.

02:11:26.000 Uh, that will appeal to them.

02:11:27.000 Whereas to America is dark.

02:11:29.000 The West is more so like, you know, my, my hero academia is about superheroes.

02:11:35.000 And I'm like, it's really interesting to see an anime about superheroes and they're doing superheroes better than America.

02:11:42.000 What'd you think?

02:11:43.000 We'd be the Mecca of that, but it's not like the talent isn't there.

02:11:47.000 Yeah.

02:11:47.000 That's what it is.

02:11:49.000 Every time I'd like to see, we were, uh, conceptualize this with Desmond Meeks and Philip Wainwright.

02:11:53.000 A couple of my friends, we were talking about.

02:11:56.000 Stories based on a piece of technology like a piece of advanced technology and it follows the tech like the the gun or whatever and it keeps getting regular people will carry it and you'll follow their story while they have it and when they get killed or whatever they lose it you you follow the tech to the next person and so maybe there could be an entire genre of comics where there are no super humans but there's just super tech.

02:12:18.000 Are you gonna write a comic about the adventures of super male vitality?

02:12:21.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:12:21.000 We'll start with super male vitality.

02:12:24.000 You can get it at importwars.com.

02:12:25.000 No, no.

02:12:26.000 Import Wars life.

02:12:27.000 Michael Malice left it here, and now it's a joke.

02:12:29.000 I'm about to edit it, actually.

02:12:31.000 And people are going to start buying it like crazy, and Alex is going to make so much money because we're making fun of it.

02:12:35.000 The genre is called space punk.

02:12:38.000 Okay.

02:12:38.000 That's a real thing, though.

02:12:40.000 I don't know if it's been invented yet, has it?

02:12:42.000 Yeah.

02:12:42.000 That's Philip Wainwright's idea, I believe.

02:12:43.000 Space Punk?

02:12:44.000 Yeah.

02:12:44.000 And if you're working on it, Phil, sorry that I loaded it.

02:12:48.000 Yeah, let's make some comics.

02:12:50.000 Let's read some more Super Chats. 0.91

02:12:52.000 Razgriz says, proud Wyomingite here.

02:12:54.000 They can try and ban guns here.

02:12:56.000 In 2012, we were looking at buying an aircraft carrier and making it a felony for federal agents to enforce gun control.

02:13:01.000 We will do it again.

02:13:02.000 I mean, yeah, well, why didn't they pass that law?

02:13:05.000 Sounds great.

02:13:06.000 It's my kind of party. 0.96

02:13:07.000 Let's see Augustine arrived says damn it forgot you were live-streaming same time 0.96

02:13:12.000 I was I was lol as if it's any consolation for anyone here in Texas 0.94

02:13:16.000 They say everything is closed down, but the reality is everything is still open and nobody gives a hoot so happy

02:13:21.000 I left, California. I Don't know if Texas is the right call because too many

02:13:25.000 people are moving to Texas. Well, yeah, but they're going this is what I say about Texas is

02:13:29.000 They're going to don't worry too much Just like the whole I at Texas is gonna turn blue the

02:13:34.000 reason I and obviously it end up being a big dud They're going to the places that are already blue

02:13:40.000 First of all, it was actually not that long ago where Texas was dealing with, you know, we had blue Senators, Democrat Senator, that was not a thing that happened not, it was not that long ago, let's say that.

02:13:51.000 But they're posting up in Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio.

02:13:56.000 Those spots are already blue.

02:13:58.000 So my, no, I don't want them coming here and running everything into the ground.

02:14:03.000 If they're at minimum posting up like in Austin, That doesn't gain them anything because they're in Austin.

02:14:09.000 Like, they're already blue.

02:14:10.000 It's when they go everywhere else that is the problem.

02:14:13.000 Michael Holder says, the problem with the Freedom Society versus Dominatrix Society is that the control freak's desire to control never stops at their own borders.

02:14:21.000 China.

02:14:21.000 It would only be a matter of time before the authoritarians would start oppressing the free staters.

02:14:25.000 But that's what's happening.

02:14:27.000 Right, but that's the thing, and that's why a lot of people are scared of, like, secession.

02:14:31.000 There is, like, secession is an anti-defense.

02:14:35.000 It's not anti-working together, right?

02:14:38.000 A community or this concept of militias.

02:14:43.000 That's not what it's about.

02:14:44.000 So just because we say, you can't rule over us, does not mean that, okay, if we go to war, we won't have each other's back or something like that.

02:14:52.000 That already happens right now.

02:14:53.000 We have these sort of agreements with other We have an alliance.

02:14:57.000 Some of them are crooked, but you get this idea that, okay, like we like what it is that you do to some extent.

02:15:03.000 So if said country tries to come take us over, we got each other's back.

02:15:07.000 That can still happen.

02:15:08.000 It's just like, we're just saying like, you don't get the rule over.

02:15:10.000 But think about it this way.

02:15:12.000 We have an alliance with NATO.

02:15:14.000 That's what I'm saying.

02:15:15.000 It's the same concept.

02:15:18.000 And France doesn't dictate what we do in New York.

02:15:19.000 Yeah, exactly.

02:15:20.000 It's the same concept.

02:15:21.000 Yeah, I mean, we could still have mutual defense, and I think people forget that the people who usually want to be left alone are usually the people who are armed and are more able to defend themselves than the small people who like to be dominated and love dominating.

02:15:35.000 The United States of Canada and Jesusland. 0.61

02:15:39.000 I could be convinced, but I'm very hesitant about this idea of a peaceful divorce.

02:15:44.000 I think that if we tried to secede, one, that the American government would invade immediately like they did in the Civil War.

02:15:51.000 They call it the War of American Aggression.

02:15:55.000 But I think that was most likely to happen when it happened, but now with the advancement of technology and how the weaponry is sold, it's advanced enough for us to be able to hold our own.

02:16:08.000 And I don't believe we're just going to get overtaken.

02:16:10.000 We saw what happened with the rice farmers in Vietnam.

02:16:15.000 That's what I'm saying.

02:16:17.000 My other worry would be that, like, the Chinese government would invade the seceded Union, and then the United States would also invade to defend it, and it would become a proxy war, and then it would be leveled.

02:16:28.000 Well, the Red States have their own military bases and National Guard.

02:16:32.000 Well, so what he is saying is that the Chinese government would influence the dominatrix side.

02:16:37.000 And I would say, that already has happened.

02:16:39.000 No, I'm saying that they would invade the secessionist, the freedom side.

02:16:44.000 But they're not engaging in third generational warfare.

02:16:46.000 That's what I was just about to say.

02:16:48.000 China would just take control of the dominatrix society because of their... So they would fund the secession. 1.00

02:16:54.000 They would arm the secession.

02:16:55.000 You'd get this foreign influence on the arming of the... Right.

02:16:59.000 That's what we did in Vietnam.

02:16:59.000 They're doing it.

02:17:00.000 China absolutely is influencing American politics in a bunch of negative ways. 0.99

02:17:04.000 Oh, that would be the best thing in the world for China if the Americans split apart. 0.88

02:17:08.000 I mean, depending on what you want from the world might be a good thing for you.

02:17:12.000 The Chinese Communist Party would become the most powerful force on the earth if the United States split apart.

02:17:17.000 Well, they already are going to do that under a Biden presidency.

02:17:19.000 Exactly.

02:17:20.000 I hope not.

02:17:21.000 They're doing beaching drills for Taiwan.

02:17:23.000 You think Joe Biden's going to do anything about that?

02:17:25.000 Joe Biden's main advisors are talking about how a bigger growing China is great for the global economy.

02:17:31.000 And they're investing in that country and they're enforcing laws and deals.

02:17:35.000 Walmart is investing into Wuhan as we're speaking right now.

02:17:39.000 How would we defend against it?

02:17:40.000 But that's why I'm saying if you break up, I mean, Like, I don't think people understand the vast amounts of gun laws at the federal level that exist right now.

02:17:51.000 Yeah.

02:17:51.000 Right?

02:17:51.000 I think if that was broken up, you'd see more people wanting not only to, from a creation standpoint, but wanting to invest in that sort of weaponry that would have them ready to rock, right?

02:18:02.000 Like, I'm talking what you consider more these automatic weapons and stuff that they consider machine guns.

02:18:09.000 um all tanks which you know depending on where yeah you kind of can get that sort of stuff but we'd be more inclined to invest in that certainly if they got the hell out of the way i think the biggest myth is that we need them to to to protect us when we as individuals could invest in ourselves but that's why they want the dependency so we get to thinking like that that's exactly what they want it's like well you need us because if we get away from you then oh everything's gonna fall apart and i just simply disagree i do not agree That that is the inevitable thing.

02:18:40.000 They're dominatrices that don't know a safe word. 0.59

02:18:43.000 Yes.

02:18:44.000 Impulse818 says, Hi Tim, how come you haven't mentioned at all the war criminals that Trump pardoned last week?

02:18:50.000 Yep.

02:18:51.000 Hasn't come up, but it came up now.

02:18:52.000 So I think it was bad. 0.86

02:18:53.000 I think it was wrong, but you know, Obama pardoned a bunch of crazy people and blew people up.

02:18:57.000 So I think for me, it's like, I didn't spend four years wearing a MAGA hat, waving a Trump flag.

02:19:02.000 I was, you know, Fairly critical.

02:19:04.000 And I think the media was just insane on Trump.

02:19:07.000 So put me in this position where it's like, dude, I can say it's bad that Trump did these things with missile strikes in Syria.

02:19:12.000 Criticize him for it.

02:19:13.000 John Bolton, we bring up all the time.

02:19:15.000 The commando raids in Yemen.

02:19:16.000 The death of, it was an eight-year-old American girl that was killed in a raid ordered by Trump.

02:19:21.000 These bad things all happened.

02:19:23.000 So it was related to Anwar al-Awlaki. Right, right, exactly.

02:19:25.000 He's the other's sister. So yeah, the sister was killed by... Trump has done a ton of bad

02:19:30.000 stuff and over the past couple of years it's been getting better. Trump pardons people and he does

02:19:35.000 a bunch of, a big wave of pardons and I mean, you know, I think it's bad.

02:19:39.000 Who did he pardon?

02:19:39.000 It was the Blackwater people, right?

02:19:41.000 Yeah, he pardoned a bunch of Blackwater mercenaries that were responsible for an estimated 17 deaths of innocent civilians.

02:19:49.000 They were found guilty and were serving a pretty severe sentence.

02:19:54.000 And this is kind of a slap... When did they go to prison?

02:19:57.000 I don't know the exact details of exactly.

02:19:58.000 Let's pull that up if we can and look up the details here because I think that's pretty important here.

02:20:03.000 But to me, this symbolically is a big slap in the face of Julian Assange, of WikiLeaks, of Chelsea Manning, and all the other individuals who want accountability for Edward Snowden, who want accountability for the war crimes that the United States has sometimes committed.

02:20:19.000 Now, again, we have to see this through, you know, the rule of law, and a court found these people guilty of ending 17 innocent people's lives.

02:20:29.000 That's a big, severe crime.

02:20:32.000 That's a big, severe implication that Trump is saying it's A-OK for him, which is a little daunting.

02:20:38.000 It was 2007, so this was under Bush. 0.97

02:20:41.000 Yeah, these people are nasty dudes, man.

02:20:43.000 And there's a lot of really messed up stuff. 0.97

02:20:44.000 America should not be over there.

02:20:46.000 Yeah, well, he's also friends with the head of the former Blackwater, now it's named something else, Eric Prince.

02:20:54.000 It doesn't make him look good, in my opinion.

02:20:56.000 Scott says, Tim, I've heard you give the best summary of the non-aggression principle of anyone who rejects its universal moral applications.

02:21:03.000 Why do you reject it?

02:21:04.000 How do I reject it?

02:21:05.000 Do you believe in the non-aggression principle?

02:21:08.000 Define the non-aggression principle.

02:21:09.000 You defined it better than me according to that super chat.

02:21:12.000 That's why I'm saying I don't understand how I reject it.

02:21:13.000 So let me hear what you have to say and I'll tell you what I think.

02:21:15.000 Well, non-aggression principle is just the basic principle that you believe that ideas shouldn't be forced onto people.

02:21:22.000 There shouldn't be any aggression forcing someone to do something that they don't want to do.

02:21:27.000 That there shouldn't be force and extortion used to push a certain idea.

02:21:31.000 Being initiatory, that being the most important point.

02:21:34.000 So there's a couple ways to look at it.

02:21:36.000 If we're talking about violence and harm, or force against another person, be it physical or coercive, Well, yeah.

02:21:44.000 Don't pick a fight with somebody.

02:21:45.000 Don't mess with other people.

02:21:46.000 Live and let live.

02:21:48.000 If you want to talk about a government system and you've got a big city like New York that's been around for hundreds of years, well, now we've got a very much more difficult and complicated question.

02:21:56.000 Yeah, but that's what's always been the more, I think, the misunderstanding of the NAP is that it's like this sort of End all right and that's not what it is.

02:22:05.000 What it does is it's just fundamentally understanding what the principle is that we want to uphold and that is that it is absolutely wrong to initiate a force upon someone else.

02:22:18.000 So if you're not being threatened, if you're not having someone hit on you and I think most people can agree with that.

02:22:23.000 The straw man comes in and they say, well, what about this instance in this instance?

02:22:28.000 And I'm like, yeah, I get that.

02:22:29.000 There's a questions or that we can come up with answer to the nap.

02:22:33.000 Never pretended to be like, uh, the end all or that if it exists and nobody's going to commit, no.

02:22:39.000 It's in fact, you know, We look up the Robert Murphys of the world.

02:22:42.000 We talk about privatized law for that reason.

02:22:45.000 Nothing is perfect, but you have a reduction of harm under the Knapp principle, which pretty much asserts the rights of individuals not to get aggressed upon.

02:22:54.000 A lot of people are commenting saying the Blackwater guys were convicted for political convenience based on weak and inconsistent evidence.

02:23:00.000 That was from Amenti.

02:23:01.000 JM says Obama made villains out of the Blackwater guards for political purposes.

02:23:05.000 The media didn't start lying in 2016.

02:23:07.000 Yeah, he kept the soldiers there and in Afghanistan.

02:23:09.000 He bolstered Afghanistan.

02:23:10.000 I mean, you're making a claim there.

02:23:12.000 to lie because Obama wanted out of Iraq and had a vendetta against Blackwater.

02:23:16.000 I don't know though, he didn't get us out of Iraq.

02:23:19.000 Yeah, he kept the soldiers there and in Afghanistan.

02:23:22.000 He bolstered Afghanistan.

02:23:23.000 I mean, you're making a claim there. I mean, I will say that I will legitimately look at it,

02:23:27.000 but I haven't seen any evidence.

02:23:29.000 But again, I'm not perfect.

02:23:31.000 I'm not always right.

02:23:31.000 If you think I'm wrong on that issue, please send me some evidence so I could look at it.

02:23:35.000 You could message me on Twitter, LukeWeAreChange, and then I would love to see any evidence you guys have.

02:23:41.000 And of course, I will change my opinion based upon that.

02:23:43.000 Regarding non-aggression, what do you guys think about forcing aggression on people that litter?

02:23:49.000 Well, that's why we want private ownership, right?

02:23:53.000 So if that person owns that particular land or groups of people, right?

02:23:57.000 If they homestead it, which would be the way that they owned it, or if it was a transfer of ownership by way of purchasing it or land being given, Um, yeah, like that there's a case to be made that that is an ad that is absolute because you're violating the private property.

02:24:11.000 That's what aggression is, right?

02:24:12.000 That's essentially breaking it down is the violation of the you know, the private property, right?

02:24:17.000 Be it in land be it in owner self-ownership. 0.97

02:24:19.000 So I you punch me in the face.

02:24:21.000 That's an act of aggression, but the same can be said for a contract violation or something or something like that.

02:24:27.000 I think aggression in a libertarian sense, which is a good question, by the way in a libertarian sense is also like Very misunderstood.

02:24:36.000 Well, again, if you're living in a society where everyone is responsible for themselves, you're not going to want to go around causing troubles for people, right?

02:24:43.000 A lot of people don't want trouble.

02:24:44.000 A lot of people just want to be left alone.

02:24:45.000 A lot of people just want to work.

02:24:46.000 A lot of people just want to live their lives and, and be happy.

02:24:49.000 So if there are, I mean, nothing's perfect.

02:24:52.000 Nothing again is a hundred percent.

02:24:54.000 Libertarianism doesn't pretend that it is.

02:24:56.000 Yeah.

02:24:57.000 It makes me think of family life and how kids won't clean their room unless they're forced to.

02:25:03.000 Like I would never clean my room unless my parents were like, you're going to clean your room.

02:25:07.000 It's dangerous.

02:25:08.000 You're going to trip over trash trying to get out.

02:25:09.000 If there's a fire, clean your room.

02:25:12.000 And in society, people will just throw banana peels on the ground.

02:25:14.000 If there's no, if there's no recourse.

02:25:17.000 Well, that's the thing though.

02:25:18.000 If there is absolutely a case to be made, if I have private property, I own said thing and you just go in there and start dumping stuff on it.

02:25:27.000 What about city streets?

02:25:28.000 City streets?

02:25:29.000 I mean, that's the same thing.

02:25:30.000 Those should be privately owned.

02:25:31.000 So if that- By who?

02:25:33.000 Whoever wants to make- whoever provided it to service.

02:25:36.000 But what if they want to shut off access to you?

02:25:39.000 What if they did?

02:25:39.000 And what?

02:25:41.000 And then someone else should build a road.

02:25:44.000 Well, I mean, that would take time.

02:25:45.000 Yes, it would.

02:25:46.000 What if they cut off your access to work?

02:25:47.000 But what's the incentive for them to do that?

02:25:49.000 Like, I know we're talking about- Vindication.

02:25:51.000 What if you angered them in a deal that- Hold on, hold on, hold on.

02:25:55.000 I gotta make a ref call.

02:25:58.000 What if the police block a street and say, shove off?

02:26:02.000 That happens.

02:26:02.000 They do that all the time.

02:26:04.000 Or you can't go here if you don't have a mask.

02:26:06.000 The cops in New York created something called the Frozen Zone.

02:26:08.000 It happens now.

02:26:09.000 It was just made up.

02:26:10.000 They used it against me.

02:26:11.000 You can't come on the street, it's frozen.

02:26:12.000 You're like, what does that mean?

02:26:13.000 I just want to know what the incentive is.

02:26:14.000 I know a lot of people talk about more roads, but I'm like, and they go to these extremes, and I'm like, what's the incentive there?

02:26:20.000 Like, it's always, what if this happens?

02:26:22.000 But hold on, human beings don't operate like that.

02:26:27.000 It's a purposeful act.

02:26:28.000 Use Vanderbilt as an example, because he owned the railroads going into New York City, and he decided he didn't like the way they were treating him, so he cut off access to New York City, and he starved the city out.

02:26:37.000 And they realized, we can't let a guy own the railroad anymore.

02:26:41.000 That is, I don't have that recollection of the railroad system.

02:26:48.000 There's anti-trust laws for a reason, because people were doing stuff like that.

02:26:50.000 But they're not used, especially with Big Tech.

02:26:52.000 Not now?

02:26:53.000 Well, no, it's not even that.

02:26:54.000 Hold on, hold on.

02:26:55.000 Let's backtrack.

02:26:57.000 Let's talk about the railroads, though.

02:26:59.000 Was the state involved in... Alright, so how much of the rail... I'm assuming that you're familiar with the story.

02:27:07.000 How much of the railroads did that man own?

02:27:08.000 He owned, as far as I know, he owned the railroads.

02:27:11.000 He built it.

02:27:12.000 Alright, he owned all of the railroads.

02:27:15.000 Are you familiar with, like... Because again, and I'm not asking this sarcastically, I genuinely want to know, what was the scenario in which that one individual controlled all of the railroads?

02:27:26.000 I would have to.

02:27:27.000 I want to know that because I have a hard time believing that one person on the railroad and there was no state involvement.

02:27:35.000 I have absolutely.

02:27:37.000 I don't believe that that was the case.

02:27:39.000 I just cannot believe that because that has virtually never happened anywhere else.

02:27:42.000 It didn't happen with Bill, which is the closest thing that we get.

02:27:45.000 point to in America when we talk about actual monopolization.

02:27:49.000 And it didn't happen with the bail monopoly.

02:27:51.000 So I don't understand why we talk about these instances.

02:27:55.000 I want to know where that came from.

02:27:57.000 I'm very curious.

02:27:58.000 Well, another thing we have to realize is humans have an initiative to be cooperative

02:28:02.000 with each other.

02:28:03.000 They have an initiative to work with each other and to be in a way where they are able

02:28:09.000 to work problems out with each other without, you know, of course, using force.

02:28:14.000 Because when you use force, everyone loses.

02:28:15.000 So I see a huge reduction of harm.

02:28:19.000 It's not going to be perfect.

02:28:20.000 Some people are going to get hurt.

02:28:21.000 We don't pretend like it won't happen.

02:28:23.000 You can't act like you're a communist and everything's going to be solved overnight.

02:28:27.000 But it's surely going to be way better than the system that we have now.

02:28:30.000 And it goes back to what we were talking about earlier.

02:28:32.000 Even if I don't or anybody in this room doesn't have the answer, doesn't mean someone else won't.

02:28:39.000 Here's some info.

02:28:40.000 Vanderbilt was a shipping guy.

02:28:41.000 He made his fortune in shipping.

02:28:43.000 In the 1850s he turned his attention to the railroad, bought up so much stock in the New York and Harlem Railroad that by 1863 he owned the line.

02:28:50.000 He later acquired the Hudson River Railroad and the New York Central Railroad and consolidated them in 1869.

02:28:56.000 OK, so like I said, I want to know more about that particular process.

02:29:00.000 I want to know more about what was what more.

02:29:03.000 So it allowed him.

02:29:04.000 How was that one person allowed to do that?

02:29:07.000 Like not what he did more.

02:29:09.000 So I don't think antitrust laws existed till after Rockefeller Standard Oil.

02:29:13.000 But I don't think that first of all, that didn't protect none of that prevents monopolization anyway.

02:29:18.000 Again, when we talk about the monopolies that have existed throughout America, the ones that you can point to every single one of them.

02:29:25.000 You want to compete with us?

02:29:26.000 and by way of the state being involved in benefiting the person who wanted to own all

02:29:31.000 of this.

02:29:32.000 It's not like, oh, I went here, you had something that I wanted to purchase voluntarily so I

02:29:36.000 bought it.

02:29:37.000 It's no.

02:29:38.000 What happened with the bill monopoly, it was, well, hold on, here's this service that we're

02:29:42.000 going to provide.

02:29:43.000 You want to compete with us?

02:29:44.000 No, you can't.

02:29:46.000 Because we worked with the government, and the state has made it illegal for anybody

02:29:50.000 Like that has happened and this is why when we talk about moving or rather transitioning from the system it is that we have right now.

02:29:59.000 You can't look at it through the lens of the, what if Bezos, what if this person, this person that got extremely wealthy off of government contracts, we can't look at it through that lens because that's not what we're, we're not living that right now.

02:30:14.000 Vanderbilt didn't get rich out of the government.

02:30:15.000 He was a shipping, private enterprise guy.

02:30:17.000 Well, I'm not talking about how he got his money, and even with shipping, I want to know to the extent, and again, I'm not familiar with it, I don't know, so I'm not going to pretend like I have the answer to that, but I just have a very hard time believing that one person, without any sort of competition, because I can't find any other example where that has existed, without any sort of competition, or rather more so, without the assistance of the state, was able to just up and say, you know what, I now own everything it is that exists.

02:30:49.000 I can't process that.

02:30:51.000 But if it's true, okay.

02:30:52.000 But I have a hard time believing that.

02:30:54.000 I'm going to have to look at the receipt to myself on that because I'm not going to pretend like I have the answer.

02:30:59.000 I just have a hard time believing that that was the case where someone just voluntarily was able to monopolize an entire industry.

02:31:06.000 I have a hard time believing that.

02:31:07.000 There's a good documentary called The Men Who Built America that's worth checking out.

02:31:11.000 Uh, well, you know, if you look at any super rich, powerful individual today, they got that way from manipulating the current system that we're under and using a form of socialism for the super rich while screw off everyone else, just do whatever you can to stay afloat.

02:31:27.000 While of course, uh, the super rich gets tax breaks, incentives and grants and handouts.

02:31:33.000 Uh, while of course the majority of people were screwed over.

02:31:35.000 Before government, before really we had government, it was all private.

02:31:39.000 People would go form their own cities and they would be like the god of their- John Astor built Astoria, New York.

02:31:44.000 He was the god of Astoria.

02:31:46.000 And there was no oversight.

02:31:48.000 They were the- they became the god.

02:31:50.000 When did that- I have never heard of that exist.

02:31:53.000 I mean Rome was built after a guy named Romulus.

02:31:56.000 But that didn't happen even with slavery.

02:31:58.000 When we talk about the country being built by people that were through private enterprise, that didn't happen then.

02:32:04.000 So I'm having a hard time believing that there's a gap.

02:32:08.000 Happened in which okay all of these people got rich no state no and not using any sort of form of statism And we're able to be the sole the sole producer of that again that didn't even happen with slavery when you talk about slave codes Fresh off the boat where that was a status institution, so I just have a hard time More so more so believing that I get the fear of I get the fear, but for the most part of these examples,

02:32:35.000 you can always point to, well, this person was able to leverage the state, local government,

02:32:39.000 or something like that, to be able to either price, you know, we gotta talk about minimum wage laws

02:32:45.000 and how that has existed and how union workers would utilize this to price certain people out of the

02:32:50.000 market.

02:32:51.000 This is stuff that has existed over the course of America's history.

02:32:55.000 So I don't believe that there was ever a gap where the state wasn't, if there was a true monopolization,

02:33:01.000 because this is one thing to be uber rich.

02:33:03.000 I'm not like anti-rich and I'm not suggesting that there aren't people that got rich

02:33:07.000 by way of voluntary exchange.

02:33:09.000 But if they become the sole producer, generally that means that they made it illegal

02:33:14.000 for someone else to produce.

02:33:16.000 They made it illegal for that person to be able to make that particular product.

02:33:20.000 IP laws is another example in how that has been utilized to manipulate that, where we see one company owns the patent for this, and no matter if someone wants to make that particular, let's say, drug or something like that for cheaper, they can't.

02:33:37.000 They can't, right?

02:33:38.000 So I'm just using that as a kind of wild example, but that's an example of how that sort of stuff exists.

02:33:43.000 So, I'm gonna have to look at the receipts on that.

02:33:45.000 Alright, let's see.

02:33:49.000 Bub Savvy says, Tim, you cleared up the railroad question with Hotep.

02:33:51.000 How long until Rockefeller would have to answer to the people and collaborate to prevent vandalism?

02:33:58.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

02:33:59.000 Like, no, that's why we talk about incentive.

02:34:01.000 Like, I know the people's brains, definitely nowadays, we see how evil the government is.

02:34:07.000 It immediately defaults to what is the absolute worst that can happen.

02:34:11.000 So someone comes up with some Complicated scenario what if this happened and then that happened and that happened and I have to ask the question like why was that?

02:34:21.000 Knowing that human beings act Purposeful action I guess why I would call economics the study of human action right not number messing around with numbers and stuff, but why?

02:34:31.000 Did that person act in the way that they act so what incentive does a person that oh?

02:34:35.000 I own the one One road, right?

02:34:38.000 That can get to and fro.

02:34:39.000 And that person decides, OK, I don't want anybody else on it.

02:34:42.000 What incentive does he have to do that?

02:34:44.000 He's not going to be able to get goods, transport.

02:34:46.000 But that's it, right?

02:34:48.000 Ideology.

02:34:48.000 But who's to say?

02:34:49.000 Just a general hatred or emotion.

02:34:51.000 That can be a thing.

02:34:52.000 But that's what I'm saying.

02:34:53.000 Like, how likely is it that someone, when we talk, we talk about trucking and stuff like that and the concept of transportation.

02:35:01.000 Why on earth would someone that definitely, if the idea, let's say if it's greed or something like that, why would they derail that particular, let's say, source of income just for the sake of hating somebody?

02:35:13.000 If I owned all the roads in this neighborhood where you live... Which would be nearly impossible for you to do.

02:35:17.000 If somebody owned all the roads in this neighborhood because they bought them all from someone else.

02:35:21.000 Again, that is a... But it's possible under the thing you're saying.

02:35:24.000 No, it's not!

02:35:24.000 It's highly unlikely.

02:35:26.000 What were you saying?

02:35:27.000 The government would dictate that?

02:35:28.000 No, I'm saying that when free people act and compete with each other, it is highly unlikely for you to do that unless you are preventing someone else.

02:35:36.000 But it's possible.

02:35:36.000 No, not at all!

02:35:37.000 Highly unlikely, yes.

02:35:38.000 Possible, yes.

02:35:39.000 Hell, it's possible that I could slip down the, we talk about 99% survival rate.

02:35:44.000 You can't criticize or fear, let's say, this concept existing just because it might be possible.

02:35:52.000 Hold on a second.

02:35:53.000 You've been talking for 20 minutes.

02:35:54.000 I'm going to finish this statement.

02:35:56.000 Hold on a second.

02:35:57.000 Consolidation of wealth is a common tactic. 0.99

02:35:59.000 So if I owned all the roads in the neighborhood where you lived, listen to me, and your wife bothered me and I wanted to screw you, I could. 1.00

02:36:07.000 That's very dangerous. 0.97

02:36:08.000 Okay, here's a question.

02:36:09.000 First of all, that again, in order to do that, it would be nearly impossible for you to enforce that, by the way.

02:36:14.000 Not if it has private security.

02:36:16.000 So enforce one person on a road, and that's another thing when we talk about the privatization of roads.

02:36:21.000 How about you?

02:36:22.000 You explain to me how you're going to enforce that.

02:36:24.000 Hire a hundred guys?

02:36:25.000 Hire a hundred guys to do what?

02:36:29.000 To block the road for you specifically.

02:36:30.000 For me, just for me.

02:36:32.000 And this happens.

02:36:34.000 When I was in LA, I went to the Staples Center.

02:36:35.000 But just for you, no.

02:36:36.000 But I'm saying, I understand that people travel, people have warrants and stuff like that.

02:36:40.000 But you know right now, there are people that have like warrants, let's say, for their arrests right now that go out there and travel just relatively freely.

02:36:49.000 Right now.

02:36:50.000 And so how likely is it, and this is my frustration with that question because it operates under a completely nonsensical hypothetical.

02:36:57.000 No, it's not.

02:36:58.000 There are business chains that have people's pictures of your band for life.

02:37:01.000 There's casino chains.

02:37:02.000 Oh, absolutely, absolutely.

02:37:03.000 But that's a casino, that's not a road!

02:37:06.000 You see what I mean?

02:37:06.000 You're talking about a means of travel where hundreds, not hundreds, but really thousands of people may travel.

02:37:12.000 Yes, because how difficult is it for you to enforce that?

02:37:16.000 The road?

02:37:16.000 Versus you being in someone's- Extremely easily.

02:37:20.000 Two guys with a checkpoint and guns.

02:37:22.000 What would you do all the checkpoints?

02:37:23.000 Are you gonna have a person at every single checkpoint checking every single talking going to and fro?

02:37:28.000 But that's not gonna hold on man.

02:37:31.000 He said one road and to screw with that's not what he said No, first of all, he said that if he if he wanted to screw me over he would have to own all of the roads so first and foremost, he's operating under A nonsensical example.

02:37:45.000 Let's say there's a highway that I control.

02:37:50.000 You take my road and you get to the city in an hour.

02:37:52.000 Otherwise, you gotta go around.

02:37:53.000 It takes 10 hours.

02:37:54.000 I own the road.

02:37:58.000 Again, why are we operating yet again on another nonsensical example?

02:38:03.000 Nonsensical because how likely is it in a free society that only one road would get one place?

02:38:08.000 To where you had to go around for a one-hour trip to a ten-hour trip.

02:38:13.000 It's called the bridges in South Jersey.

02:38:15.000 That is, again, entirely monopolized by way of the government right now.

02:38:19.000 So we're talking about... Yes, exactly.

02:38:21.000 Exactly, but we're not talking about that right now.

02:38:24.000 We're not talking about an example that exists right now and then trying to put what it is that I advocate On that particular example.

02:38:32.000 That's why I keep saying that you're operating on a straw man.

02:38:36.000 You're operating, you're trying to look through it, through the lens of what exists right now.

02:38:40.000 I'm not advocating what exists right now.

02:38:43.000 We have nothing close to what it is that I... We have Twitter.

02:38:46.000 Huh?

02:38:46.000 Twitter.

02:38:47.000 Yes, what about it?

02:38:48.000 Twitter monopolized political discourse.

02:38:50.000 How did they monopolize political discourse?

02:38:52.000 We're talking about politics right now.

02:38:54.000 On YouTube.

02:38:55.000 Where are we talking about the roads?

02:38:57.000 So there's absolute monopoly.

02:39:01.000 And I'm not saying, again, maybe you'll understand it.

02:39:03.000 Is PayPal a monopoly?

02:39:04.000 No, I don't consider PayPal a monopoly.

02:39:05.000 Even though they control 80% of internet financial exchange.

02:39:09.000 Yes, I would not consider it.

02:39:10.000 But I'm not saying that there's not a problem there.

02:39:13.000 That's not what it is that I'm advocating.

02:39:14.000 You know that if you're banned from PayPal, you can't operate on basically, you can't make money off any platform.

02:39:18.000 Yes, and how did we get to that point?

02:39:20.000 Because PayPal is the first and best dressed.

02:39:24.000 First in, best dressed.

02:39:29.000 What it means is PayPal was one of the first platforms to allow interchange between various internet companies.

02:39:35.000 Because everyone used it, it was the easiest way for people to function.

02:39:38.000 We now have some competition.

02:39:40.000 One company, Stripe.

02:39:41.000 But Stripe has a lot of the same policies as PayPal.

02:39:43.000 You get banned from PayPal, you're not making money on the internet anymore.

02:39:48.000 So what's the point?

02:39:49.000 I'm asking you for the point.

02:39:50.000 What do you mean?

02:39:51.000 PayPal's banned conservatives and right-wing individuals for no reason.

02:39:54.000 I understand that.

02:39:55.000 And destroyed their libraries and their businesses.

02:39:56.000 I understand that.

02:39:57.000 But I'm trying to understand what the point is here.

02:40:00.000 What Ian was saying is that, for seemingly arbitrary or ideological reasons, people who have massive control over industries... Again, here we go, operating under the premise that that is a thing.

02:40:13.000 PayPal is a thing.

02:40:14.000 I understand that PayPal is a thing.

02:40:15.000 We're talking about transportation and roads, okay?

02:40:18.000 So with that being said, how likely of a scenario in a completely free society, why is it that the default is that one person controls the road?

02:40:28.000 That doesn't even happen in the country right now.

02:40:33.000 It's Vanderbilt, dude.

02:40:35.000 No, it doesn't!

02:40:36.000 I know this!

02:40:37.000 That's what I'm saying, though.

02:40:38.000 That's exactly the point.

02:40:39.000 I think what Eric is trying to say here, to make this kind of simple, is that there's a lot of bad people out there.

02:40:45.000 But for the bad people to use institutions and systems to enforce their bad ideas is a lot more harmful than if there was a decentralization and they didn't have those larger institutions to force or hurt people.

02:40:58.000 And why that is that is silly because the government is the one institution that can monopolize thing and they monopolized all of these things and for someone to say that that is the solution I don't come I don't even understand how the government makes sure that no one person owns all the roads and again they do well they actually do that they the government the state themselves I mean that's why that's what they do with the railroads for instance well no I'm saying that's how the transportation system works in this country right now so why is it okay for the state to monopolize it But you think, you fear so much that there is, let's say, some private individual that would do it.

02:41:33.000 Why is it preferable that- Because we own the state.

02:41:36.000 No, we don't.

02:41:37.000 That's the way the government's working.

02:41:39.000 That's not how it works.

02:41:40.000 You may not feel like that.

02:41:42.000 No, no.

02:41:42.000 Legitimately speaking, that is an incorrect thing to say.

02:41:47.000 Have you ever seen a private security guard punch a cop in the face?

02:41:50.000 No.

02:41:50.000 They do it all the time.

02:41:52.000 You got high-powered six-figure security guards who will punch a cop in the face.

02:41:55.000 You can watch the videos online.

02:41:56.000 A cop will walk up and there'll be a high-profile... Oh, yes, I know, I get that.

02:42:00.000 People beef on the cops all hell.

02:42:02.000 I went to jail for beefing with the cops.

02:42:03.000 No, no, the point is, if you've got... at least the police have some accountability.

02:42:09.000 Mobs don't. 0.96

02:42:11.000 Who?

02:42:11.000 Mobs don't.

02:42:13.000 What?

02:42:13.000 Who are mobs?

02:42:14.000 Who are large gangs accountable to?

02:42:18.000 If you live in the south side of Chicago and a gangbanger kills your brother or friend, who are you going to call?

02:42:21.000 What are you going to do about it?

02:42:22.000 Are you going to go to the gang leader and be like, well, I want some reconciliation or something?

02:42:27.000 Well, they do it now and there's barely any reconciliation.

02:42:30.000 There's a lot of murders that go unsolved in Chicago anyway.

02:42:34.000 Right, that's the point.

02:42:35.000 You have no way to hold any of these gangs accountable except for going to the police.

02:42:39.000 No, no, no.

02:42:40.000 Even if you go to the police, you don't get any accountability in the South Side of Chicago.

02:42:44.000 Yes, you'll get any accountability.

02:42:45.000 Hold on, hold on.

02:42:46.000 You guys are speaking in absolute terms that is not correct, okay?

02:42:50.000 I'll tell you this.

02:42:51.000 If there is a 1% chance that I go to the cops and say, I'm mad that guy killed someone I know, there's a 1% chance something gets resolved, it's better than going to the gang and he's gonna laugh in your face or point a gun in your face.

02:43:02.000 So, why do we look at it like the state itself isn't a gang?

02:43:06.000 I didn't say it wasn't.

02:43:07.000 I said at least there's some accountability.

02:43:09.000 So you just want a bigger gang then?

02:43:11.000 You don't think there's accountability?

02:43:12.000 I grew up banging, by the way.

02:43:13.000 You don't think there's accountability among gang members?

02:43:16.000 How do you think we operate?

02:43:16.000 There is, but not for people outside the gang.

02:43:18.000 The people in my neighborhood who get killed get nothing.

02:43:21.000 But if you're in the gang, and you commit some infraction, they say, we'll take care of it.

02:43:25.000 That doesn't happen with the state?

02:43:26.000 Same thing with Antifa, same thing with cops.

02:43:28.000 That doesn't happen with the state?

02:43:31.000 It just happens on a grander, bigger level in the Middle East. 0.77

02:43:33.000 I tell you this, when you have these cops, in all these different circumstances, who are involved in justified shootings, like an actual incident where they were being shot at or something, and defended themselves, and they still get fired, and they still get prosecuted, so there is still some sense of accountability for the police.

02:43:50.000 That's not justice.

02:43:51.000 If you said that they were doing the right thing and they get punished, that's not accountability.

02:43:56.000 That's not an argument.

02:43:57.000 I'm saying the fact exists that there can be accountability for police.

02:44:00.000 First of all, what do you think it is that we're advocating?

02:44:03.000 I think we have a big time confusion here because I'm advocating for privatized forms of security and law, so I'm not advocating for a complete freaking free-for-all.

02:44:11.000 You're looking at it as if the state is Who has more accountability?

02:44:15.000 which I think that is being, that's overstating it.

02:44:19.000 But I would love more so for Vi, like I don't know if it, how exactly again we talk about markets.

02:44:23.000 Who has more accountability, G4S or NYPD?

02:44:28.000 Like why does that, what are you asking in that question?

02:44:30.000 Like why are you asking me that?

02:44:31.000 Serious question.

02:44:32.000 Because we're, you were talking about.

02:44:35.000 But what's the point?

02:44:36.000 Why are you asking me that in the sense of... So the conversation started with a discussion about a private road and an individual being able to tell you to go shove off.

02:44:43.000 Right, but again, we're looking at it like, alright, at least this exists here, right?

02:44:49.000 What I am advocating for, and this is going to apply to you as well, is that there is a market that exist.

02:44:57.000 I accept the idea that there's a bunch of water bottle companies, right?

02:45:01.000 A bunch of people that can create water.

02:45:03.000 I have Dasani, Ozarka, Aquafina, Smart.

02:45:08.000 There's all these sorts of companies that can do that and they compete with each other, right?

02:45:14.000 And Municipal Water.

02:45:15.000 They compete with Municipal Water too.

02:45:18.000 What I'm saying is that all of these exist For the law it does not, right now.

02:45:24.000 That is completely monopolized by way of the state.

02:45:27.000 What I am advocating is, is that that system in itself Be voluntarily arrived in a sense that there are competing firms.

02:45:37.000 So I don't want one instance in which, because it's funny how we immediately go to the extreme, right?

02:45:46.000 What if this?

02:45:47.000 Hold on, let me finish.

02:45:49.000 You just made a point, I gotta answer it.

02:45:50.000 No, no, no, I haven't made the ending point.

02:45:54.000 What you're advocating, let's talk about the endgame of that, this whole what-if scenario.

02:46:00.000 Well, what if I, or let's say any other, any person, wants to become, let's say, ruler of said land and utilizes the same state that you think?

02:46:11.000 is supposed to protect you and then kills I don't know one two three six million people.

02:46:18.000 The government itself the state is most attributed to we're talking actual like forms of

02:46:25.000 democide and killing their own citizens. You will find more instances of that which is why it's

02:46:30.000 complete lunacy. Let's go back to the police. It's complete lunacy. Hold on hold on I just want to

02:46:35.000 It's complete lunacy to act as if what I'm advocating is something that is extremely crazy when the ideology that basically you're advocating for, which is the state, is far more responsible, far more examples of them killing more people than what it is that I'm advocating.

02:46:51.000 Let's talk about blocking people.

02:46:53.000 Let's talk about Nazi Germany.

02:46:55.000 That's the endgame.

02:46:55.000 Let's go way back to the police.

02:47:00.000 So what happens if I hire a law enforcement agency and they arrest you and I'm a high paying customer with tons of contracts with this company and you're not?

02:47:11.000 I just don't understand why we keep having to operate on a what if where we go to the most extreme example.

02:47:20.000 How's that extreme?

02:47:21.000 It is, it's very extreme, because you're operating under this guise that this setup was that, okay, that's exactly what it is that I want, so it's a what if.

02:47:29.000 I didn't say that that's what I- You said you weren't competing law enforcement, right?

02:47:32.000 Yes, no, no, what I want is competing firms.

02:47:34.000 How that comes to about, I have no idea, no way to predict that, you don't, I can think I just want a system where the labor is controlled by the people.

02:47:40.000 No, it's not. I'm not advocating for a free society.

02:47:42.000 You just said no whatever.

02:47:44.000 Utopian means perfect society. I'm not advocating for a free society.

02:47:46.000 You just said no whatever.

02:47:48.000 No, I'm saying what exactly.

02:47:50.000 That's the point because I don't know.

02:47:52.000 You don't know either. None of us know.

02:47:54.000 If I knew, we wouldn't be talking about it.

02:47:56.000 No, you can have it.

02:47:58.000 You can theorize.

02:48:00.000 That's exactly it.

02:48:02.000 I just want a system where the labor is controlled by the people. 0.53

02:48:04.000 Why don't we just do that?

02:48:07.000 Do it!

02:48:07.000 Because it doesn't work!

02:48:08.000 Communism fails every single time!

02:48:10.000 Okay, yes it fails every single time.

02:48:12.000 I think you should be free to act that out voluntarily.

02:48:15.000 That's all I'm saying.

02:48:15.000 Let it fail.

02:48:16.000 Don't use force.

02:48:17.000 Tell these government agents to keep forcing a failed idea on people.

02:48:21.000 That's all I'm saying.

02:48:23.000 That's all I'm saying.

02:48:24.000 But I'm not operating on utopianism because I'm not pretending like there won't be an instance where someone gets murdered.

02:48:31.000 There won't be an instance where someone has a wrongdoing. 0.99

02:48:33.000 I'm not stupid enough to advocate that but it's a silly that's why it's so silly 0.51

02:48:36.000 for someone to try to pin this like definitely on the ideology it is that i advocate to try to 0.86

02:48:41.000 pin this like uber perfect oh what is if this happens what is the what how does eric july and

02:48:46.000 libertarianism solve it the whole point of a market is that i don't know well when you bring it up

02:48:51.000 let the market idea i want to brainstorm that idea

02:48:55.000 I'm all about that.

02:48:56.000 That's what we're doing right now.

02:48:58.000 So I will give you the biggest flaw I can see.

02:49:00.000 But you can't say, my issue with that, especially what you're saying, utopianism, because you're pretending like I'm saying that it's perfect.

02:49:08.000 I am not under any sort of... You got manhandled by private security.

02:49:13.000 Was it G4S? 0.94

02:49:14.000 No.

02:49:15.000 And where were you, Bilderberg?

02:49:16.000 There's a lot of, like, security that I have confrontations with.

02:49:19.000 You ever file a complaint?

02:49:21.000 No, usually it's the police that arrest me and harass me more and make up bullcrap stuff on me.

02:49:27.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:49:27.000 I know.

02:49:28.000 Right, right, right.

02:49:28.000 Have you ever filed a complaint against cops?

02:49:31.000 I actually did, yes.

02:49:32.000 Yes, in New York City, I was beat up by the cops when I was 16, and I filed a complaint, went with the Civilian Complaint Review Board, and after investigating, they found no instance of anything that happened, and it was all bullcrap that just absolutely wasted my time and nothing... You ever complain about the private security that's roughed you up?

02:49:51.000 Um, I see... Come on, dude, you can't.

02:49:53.000 What private security?

02:49:54.000 I mean, what private security are you specifically talking about?

02:49:56.000 You did a video where G4S was roughing you up at some hotel.

02:49:59.000 Uh, that wasn't G4S.

02:50:00.000 That was the private hotel security, and then police officers came and assaulted me, and then arrested me, and put me in a cage.

02:50:07.000 When the security was trying to manhandle me, I pushed them back.

02:50:10.000 I walked away from them, and I told them if they aggressed on me, I'm... What do you mean?

02:50:15.000 What's the solution?

02:50:16.000 The solution is we don't know the answer.

02:50:20.000 We don't know the solution, but I think it's best to strive towards a decentralization, towards a society where we are responsible for ourselves and don't depend on anyone else.

02:50:29.000 You think the government should control food?

02:50:31.000 No.

02:50:32.000 Okay.

02:50:33.000 Do you think they should control, let's say, um, clothing, right?

02:50:38.000 Should they, should they control clothing?

02:50:40.000 Okay.

02:50:41.000 So why is it that you think that they are best suited, the state, right?

02:50:45.000 The government, that's essentially the state, the territorial monopoly.

02:50:48.000 Why you think that they are best suited to, let's say, solve all of these problems that I guess you, you, maybe you, that we're, we're talking about an instance where someone's, I'll give you one example.

02:51:01.000 We have a constitution that guarantees me certain rights, and often those rights get trampled on.

02:51:06.000 But at least there is a semblance of accountability.

02:51:09.000 I've been through this system.

02:51:10.000 I've been wrongly arrested on more than one occasion, and I've gotten my albeit imperfect version of justice in that I don't think I should have been arrested in the first place, but I end up winning.

02:51:19.000 Now I've also been manhandled by private security who laugh in my face and who am I gonna call?

02:51:24.000 I'm gonna call.

02:51:25.000 I'd like to file a complaint with your company.

02:51:26.000 Are you a customer?

02:51:27.000 No?

02:51:28.000 Then bye.

02:51:28.000 Click.

02:51:28.000 Well, I mean, well, we certainly don't have any instances.

02:51:31.000 This is why I don't understand the mentioning of that because right now we don't have like it's competing firms right now.

02:51:38.000 Competing firms in what capacity?

02:51:39.000 What do you mean?

02:51:40.000 And when I say competing firms, I'm saying when we talk about right now the state monopolizes law.

02:51:43.000 It decides what's wrong.

02:51:45.000 It decides what's right.

02:51:45.000 We have competing firms.

02:51:46.000 No we don't.

02:51:47.000 What do you mean?

02:51:47.000 No, we don't have compete—no, the state monopoly—there is no competition against, let's say, the state.

02:51:51.000 What they say, goals, is ultimately— Yeah, it's called cashmere.

02:51:54.000 They may—they may—who?

02:51:55.000 Cashmere.

02:51:56.000 What about—what about cashmere?

02:51:57.000 You've got two different governments fighting for control over what belongs.

02:51:59.000 Well, no, but again, I understand that, but no, we have—'cause we have federal governments, we have state—state and we have state governments, we have local governments.

02:52:06.000 That's states competing with other states and that's why I would prefer that they be broken up for that exact reason because I would prefer them actually competing with each other in a sense that definitely when it comes to my mobility and being able to move, I would prefer that be a thing as opposed to government or one world government or something like that.

02:52:26.000 Yeah, so like cities have different laws, states have different laws, counties have laws. 0.95

02:52:29.000 Countries have laws.

02:52:30.000 Right.

02:52:31.000 So you can freely move to a different place with different laws if you don't like the laws here.

02:52:34.000 Yes, exactly.

02:52:34.000 That's competition.

02:52:35.000 Well, no, no, no, no.

02:52:36.000 That's why everybody wants to come to America. 1.00

02:52:38.000 What I want is more of that.

02:52:40.000 This is why I would prefer decentralization, right?

02:52:43.000 Because why, if I accept that Canada is different from America, why can't I accept that Texas be different from the rest of the United States?

02:52:50.000 Exactly, that's what I'm saying.

02:52:52.000 That's what I'm advocating for as a solution.

02:52:55.000 I don't agree with private law and judiciary in the United States.

02:52:59.000 Well, there wouldn't be a United States if that was the case.

02:53:02.000 Like, if Virginia's got its own laws, and West Virginia's got its own laws, and that's a fact, then you can choose to live in one of the other states.

02:53:08.000 Bingo!

02:53:08.000 This is why I advocate for decentralization.

02:53:10.000 Yeah, so, the initial conversation we were talking about is someone owning a road and deciding to cut you off because they can.

02:53:15.000 Yes.

02:53:16.000 And that happens.

02:53:16.000 Yes.

02:53:17.000 Oh yeah, and the state cuts me off all the time.

02:53:19.000 Business licensing and all sorts of stuff.

02:53:21.000 It's the exact same thing.

02:53:22.000 No, no, it's not the exact same thing because when they get to do that, I actually, it's more likely that I can fight against someone else than I can the state anyway.

02:53:30.000 There's nothing if the state- This is bigger monopolies.

02:53:32.000 Exactly.

02:53:32.000 That's the problem.

02:53:33.000 Yeah, we don't want big monopolies. 0.92

02:53:34.000 I don't want the big monopoly.

02:53:35.000 That's the thing.

02:53:36.000 I don't want that monopolization.

02:53:37.000 That's the whole reason why I advocate what it is that I advocate.

02:53:40.000 So, when you're talking about competing firms, it exists.

02:53:47.000 Not in a libertarian sense, no.

02:53:49.000 I want more comp- I want more comp- I don't want to be- Move to- What's that state in Mexico?

02:53:53.000 I don't- Uh, Tehran.

02:53:55.000 Tehran.

02:53:55.000 Why aren't you there?

02:53:56.000 Because I'm here.

02:53:58.000 Or, well, I'm out of Texas.

02:54:00.000 I would rather decentralize that, because I live there.

02:54:03.000 I was from there.

02:54:04.000 That's more so what I want.

02:54:06.000 Why am I required by... Do you tell people that, I don't know, get aggressed upon to just stop getting aggressed upon?

02:54:12.000 If you live in a bad neighborhood, leave the neighborhood.

02:54:14.000 Yes, so that's what you tell them instead of, I don't know, punting.

02:54:17.000 I know I moved away from where I was from, but that's not the ultimate solution.

02:54:21.000 That person still did something wrong to that person at the end of the day.

02:54:25.000 That's wrong, right?

02:54:26.000 You would agree murder, theft, and all those sorts of things.

02:54:29.000 Rape, those are very bad things. 0.94

02:54:31.000 And the last thing, I don't tell a woman that gets raped, well, you shouldn't have wore that skirt. 1.00

02:54:35.000 We don't tell people that.

02:54:35.000 That's a totally different argument.

02:54:36.000 No, it's not.

02:54:37.000 It's the same argument that you just made, Tim!

02:54:38.000 No, it isn't.

02:54:39.000 Yes, it is!

02:54:39.000 No, it isn't.

02:54:40.000 Yes, it is!

02:54:40.000 No, stop.

02:54:41.000 The argument I made is, if you keep going into an alley and getting robbed, stop going in the alley.

02:54:47.000 You just made that same argument.

02:54:49.000 No, I didn't.

02:54:49.000 Yes, you did.

02:54:50.000 Yes, you did.

02:54:50.000 You made the same argument that you're not placing the responsibility.

02:54:54.000 If you live in a bad area... Yes, I know that, but that's what I'm saying.

02:54:58.000 When it comes to the wrongdoing... You have choices.

02:55:00.000 Yes, you have choices, so... I was telling someone to leave a bad neighborhood the same as blaming them for wearing clothes and getting raped. 0.96

02:55:06.000 Why is it not?

02:55:09.000 No it's not because you're saying that if someone said let's say a female dressed a certain kind of way and that person and that you know I don't know someone liked the way that that person looked and that person committed an act of aggression be it an assault, rape or what have you.

02:55:22.000 That's the same exact argument.

02:55:24.000 You're the abuser, it's not me.

02:55:25.000 Yes it is!

02:55:26.000 I'm not the abuser!

02:55:27.000 Because we're talking about the state Right?

02:55:31.000 If I'm in a bad neighborhood, it doesn't even have to be a state, we're talking about actual aggressors.

02:55:35.000 If I'm in a bad neighborhood, I understand that yes, I'm in a bad neighborhood.

02:55:39.000 Is it preferable if I have the mobility to be able to move?

02:55:42.000 Absolutely.

02:55:43.000 That doesn't change the fact that those people that are being destructive to their community I didn't say they weren't.

02:55:50.000 That is nothing to do with what I said.

02:55:51.000 why I'm not saying I don't default to yes it's preferable if someone is using

02:55:56.000 aggression upon you try to go the other way this turn the other cheek we say

02:56:00.000 that stuff all the time rather defend defend what is art explain it to me one

02:56:04.000 more time I want to get your argument right if somebody is like here's a dark 0.93

02:56:08.000 alley that I've been robbed in three times And you're like, that's crazy.

02:56:12.000 And they go, I'm gonna go walk through it again.

02:56:13.000 Wouldn't you be like, Hey, maybe you shouldn't do that.

02:56:15.000 All right.

02:56:16.000 I'm gonna try to use it.

02:56:17.000 Let me, let me, let's, let's try to see if this is the same analogy.

02:56:19.000 Someone no, knowingly got, let's say assaulted.

02:56:25.000 They've been assaulted several times.

02:56:26.000 No, no.

02:56:27.000 That's what I have a choice.

02:56:28.000 Someone who was sexually assaulted by way.

02:56:32.000 Of, you know, the person was attracted to them because they wore whatever, whatever thing that they, that it is that they wore.

02:56:37.000 If they choose to wear that same thing.

02:56:38.000 Right.

02:56:38.000 Wearing clothes is not walking through an alley.

02:56:40.000 But that, of course, is not the same exact thing.

02:56:42.000 That's why I said an analogy, Tim.

02:56:43.000 No, that's not, that's a totally different argument.

02:56:45.000 How is it a different argument?

02:56:47.000 Explain.

02:56:48.000 You have an alley.

02:56:49.000 Yes.

02:56:50.000 Where there's crime.

02:56:51.000 Yes.

02:56:51.000 And you keep going in there.

02:56:52.000 Yes.

02:56:53.000 And you keep getting... Alright, that's, I'm using the same exact thing.

02:56:56.000 You have a person that's wearing clothing, right?

02:56:58.000 And they get, because they dress in a certain way, men or whatever, grab and gun them?

02:57:03.000 They're getting raped by the same people because they're wearing the same clothes every time? 0.92

02:57:06.000 That's a very well possibility. 0.94

02:57:07.000 Then the argument is stop going around those people and leave the neighborhood! 1.00

02:57:11.000 No shit! 1.00

02:57:11.000 Tim, I understand that. 1.00

02:57:12.000 I'm not saying that that isn't the preferable thing to do.

02:57:15.000 What I'm saying is I don't blame that person.

02:57:18.000 For wearing those sorts of clothes, and I don't default there when that person is aggressed upon.

02:57:25.000 So when you say, well, just move, that's why I'm using that exact example, because all you're doing is telling the woman, after she has been assaulted, because of what she's wearing, you tell her, just don't wear it.

02:57:37.000 That's not a real argument.

02:57:38.000 For clarification, Eric said ship.

02:57:44.000 And second, I see no one has been taking the ashwagandha I've been giving out to people.

02:57:49.000 I have been.

02:57:50.000 And are there more Super Chats that maybe have more input on this?

02:57:53.000 I love the idea that there are people who live in cities that are upset that they choose to live in this city, and they do, and they're mad they gotta pay taxes on that city.

02:58:06.000 Because I literally walked away.

02:58:10.000 Slept in parks, got in my car and just left.

02:58:12.000 And you know what?

02:58:13.000 I was broke and I said, whatever.

02:58:15.000 It's my choice to choose where I'm going to be.

02:58:17.000 How is it incumbent upon someone else's neighborhood to provide for me because I don't want to leave?

02:58:23.000 I certainly haven't made that argument that it's on the neighborhood to provide anything for anybody.

02:58:27.000 All I'm saying is that I don't blame that person for being in that situation just because

02:58:31.000 whether they was raised that way, whether they got family there, whether they got kids

02:58:34.000 and if someone is being, is aggressing upon them, I don't say, oh well, you just leave,

02:58:40.000 right?

02:58:41.000 No, I'm like, oh, that aggression is bad.

02:58:42.000 Is it preferable considering that that is the circumstance that you live in to get the

02:58:46.000 hell out of there?

02:58:47.000 Absolutely.

02:58:48.000 That's what I did.

02:58:50.000 I grew up claiming blood.

02:58:51.000 I grew up doing all of that stuff.

02:58:53.000 And of course it was preferable for me to remove myself from that.

02:58:56.000 That doesn't change the fact that I, as a person that grew up doing that, was terrorizing my own community.

02:59:02.000 It has everything to do with what we're talking about, Tim, because that's what I'm saying.

02:59:07.000 That that is on the aggressors.

02:59:09.000 I was actually the aggressor back then, terrorizing my own community.

02:59:13.000 So I get it.

02:59:14.000 I'm not disagreeing with the idea that if you can, if you have that mobility to be able to get the hell out, do it.

02:59:22.000 But that is not, I'm not gonna say because someone aggressed upon someone that was living in South Dallas, living in Chicago, or living in a rural part of L.A.

02:59:31.000 that they should just up and leave.

02:59:33.000 No, it is wrong what their government is doing.

02:59:35.000 It's wrong for gang members in a certain area or whatever wrongdoing is happening.

02:59:40.000 So let's step back from the extremist argument and put it this way.

02:59:43.000 You have a choice to live in New York City.

02:59:44.000 New York City's got a city income tax.

02:59:46.000 Yes.

02:59:47.000 Okay, that's crazy.

02:59:48.000 You can leave.

02:59:50.000 Yeah, you can.

02:59:51.000 There are competing jurisdictions vying for your resources, your money, your labor.

02:59:56.000 And that's why I agree with you 100%.

02:59:58.000 That's why I want more of them.

03:00:00.000 And we have tens of thousands.

03:00:03.000 Yeah, well we have 50 in terms of the states.

03:00:07.000 I'd love if there were more.

03:00:09.000 There's other countries.

03:00:10.000 No, there's other countries.

03:00:11.000 Mexico?

03:00:12.000 Yes, I understand there's other countries, but that doesn't stand to it.

03:00:14.000 Why aren't you in Tehran?

03:00:15.000 Because I'm here.

03:00:17.000 But you can go there.

03:00:17.000 I can go.

03:00:18.000 I can go anywhere.

03:00:18.000 I can go a lot of places, but I don't.

03:00:20.000 I live actually in a place that I actually like.

03:00:22.000 It's part of why I would want to break away from the federal government, because the federal government is the bigger aggressor than Texas, where I'm at.

03:00:28.000 So I want them off my back.

03:00:30.000 So I would rather separate from them than move, I don't know, away from somewhere else.

03:00:35.000 I like where it is that I am.

03:00:36.000 And again, this is why it's the weird question.

03:00:38.000 There's two different approaches here, and I think both of them have merit.

03:00:42.000 Well, it's an interesting philosophical argument that I don't want to leave so everyone else should change, even though most people seem to agree with it.

03:00:49.000 What?

03:00:50.000 Most people in this country are totally fine with the way things are going.

03:00:52.000 Yeah, so why vote?

03:00:53.000 Why vote or do any of that thing then?

03:00:55.000 Because, yeah, people disagree.

03:00:56.000 They show ways by way of voting with their dollar, by way of actually voting, by way of the state.

03:01:01.000 They all show that they disagree in some way, shape, or form.

03:01:05.000 That's a complete non-argument.

03:01:07.000 Everybody everywhere, for the most part, is disagreeing with people.

03:01:10.000 Yes, of course, there are more, let's say, non-libertarians than me.

03:01:14.000 There's also more, let's say, where I'm living at may be more red. 0.69

03:01:17.000 There's more uh republicans and there are democrats a complete non-argument of course we disagree but the what i'm the point that i'm trying to make is that i would much rather the reason why i would i don't i don't i don't mind secession because it gets the power closer to the individual so i i i agree with the point you're actually making the argument for me this idea that well well west virginia is different from

03:01:39.000 From Maryland, so I'd rather go there.

03:01:41.000 Okay, I would want that applied even more.

03:01:44.000 The simple thing out of all this is, you like living under the rules of the federal government more than you would prefer to leave that government.

03:01:53.000 No, I like the... there's a multitude of different reasons as to why I live where I live.

03:01:58.000 What it ultimately boils down to is that I like where it is that I am.

03:02:03.000 I love it.

03:02:04.000 Don't get me wrong.

03:02:05.000 I like the culture.

03:02:06.000 I have a lot of like-minded people that live around me.

03:02:10.000 Who is on my back right now the most is the federal government.

03:02:13.000 And that doesn't mean if the federal government completely gets out the way that there isn't a fight to be had.

03:02:19.000 It's an easier fight to be had to oppose, let's say, the Denton County Or whatever, as it is to oppose Texas.

03:02:25.000 As, likewise, it's easier to oppose Texas government than it is to oppose the federal government.

03:02:30.000 So again, I agree with that point.

03:02:32.000 It's actually making my point on why I think that there should be more, especially if we're going to come to some sort of peaceful concession.

03:02:39.000 And what it all comes down to is you would rather live where you are with all the problems you have with the federal government than in a freer state like your own.

03:02:49.000 No, no, that's not what I'm saying.

03:02:50.000 What I'm saying is I like... That's facts.

03:02:52.000 Otherwise you'd be there.

03:02:53.000 If you wanted to be there, you'd be there.

03:02:55.000 Exactly!

03:02:55.000 That's the point.

03:02:56.000 You don't want to be there.

03:02:57.000 I don't want to be there, but you're trying to put the reason why I want to be there on me, and I think that's disingenuous for you to do that, Tim.

03:03:03.000 How is that disingenuous?

03:03:04.000 You'd rather be in one place than another.

03:03:05.000 Yes, absolutely.

03:03:08.000 I'd rather be a place than another.

03:03:09.000 I don't want to live there.

03:03:10.000 I'm not familiar with the culture.

03:03:11.000 I was not raised there.

03:03:13.000 I don't want to be there.

03:03:14.000 There are a multitude of different reasons because I don't want to Go somewhere else.

03:03:17.000 It's a complete non-argument.

03:03:18.000 It doesn't mean anything because what I'm talking about right now is that in this instance the federal government is my biggest beef.

03:03:25.000 They tax me the most.

03:03:28.000 When it comes to some of these would be social security and all these sorts of things that have to come out of my check or rather they expect to be paid that.

03:03:35.000 I don't want that.

03:03:36.000 So I fight against that.

03:03:37.000 Yes, there are other reasons why, culturally, I don't want to be somewhere else.

03:03:42.000 So it's not because it's necessarily just freer.

03:03:44.000 That's only one aspect.

03:03:46.000 Yeah, I can go to somewhere that may be quote-unquote freer.

03:03:50.000 My family's not there.

03:03:51.000 So the real problem is...

03:03:53.000 As civilizations scale up, and all land falls under certain jurisdictions, then there's nowhere for you to go.

03:04:02.000 And what do you do when most of the people in the country are fine with the way things are going?

03:04:07.000 You can fight for it, you can advocate for it.

03:04:09.000 That's exactly, and that's what I do.

03:04:11.000 That's why I am as vocal as I am about the philosophy it is that I adopt, because I want to see some sort of change.

03:04:17.000 Other people do it in different ways.

03:04:19.000 Some people want to enact change by way of voting.

03:04:22.000 Some people want to enact change by way of community activism, church, or whatever it is.

03:04:29.000 They have their ways of going about it.

03:04:31.000 My battle to fight is here.

03:04:33.000 That's where it's at.

03:04:34.000 I don't want to bail.

03:04:35.000 I don't want to just leave.

03:04:37.000 My battle is fight.

03:04:38.000 I was raised here.

03:04:39.000 I understand the language.

03:04:40.000 I understand the culture.

03:04:41.000 This is where my battle is and I want to work towards a freer society.

03:04:45.000 And I'm far more useful here than going somewhere else just up and bailing just because they may be quote-unquote freer.

03:04:51.000 It's not about me wanting to live under this particular federal government and not under where somewhere is free.

03:04:58.000 No, that's just one aspect Of it.

03:05:00.000 The thing is, there's an endgame that I ultimately would like to work to.

03:05:04.000 And I want to fight the battle here.

03:05:06.000 This is where I am familiar.

03:05:07.000 This is where I feel that I'm supposed to be.

03:05:10.000 I'm not supposed to be in wherever the place it is.

03:05:12.000 Tehran.

03:05:13.000 And Mexico.

03:05:14.000 I don't know where that's at.

03:05:15.000 I don't live there.

03:05:15.000 Things that are challenging are fun.

03:05:17.000 I like challenges.

03:05:18.000 The start of the conversation was basically competing judiciary systems, I suppose, or legislative systems.

03:05:25.000 Yes.

03:05:25.000 And they exist.

03:05:26.000 Yeah, I know they exist.

03:05:27.000 I never said they didn't exist.

03:05:29.000 What I'm saying more so is I want more of those to exist and I want it to be far more competitive.

03:05:35.000 What we have right now, when you look, when you consider what the federal government is, is that it has monopolized this entire land and there are rules that we must follow.

03:05:44.000 half of them don't even make sense considering the geographical area that I'm in, that unfortunately

03:05:50.000 they impede on people's freedom, on people's rights, and I don't like that.

03:05:55.000 So I would rather dissolve that, and that's one less problem.

03:05:58.000 That doesn't mean that that's the end all.

03:06:00.000 That doesn't mean it stops.

03:06:01.000 That doesn't mean just because, oh, the federal government broke up and now the states are

03:06:05.000 now countries or what have you.

03:06:07.000 That means the battle stopped?

03:06:08.000 No.

03:06:09.000 I always say that it is not necessarily a battle of might, it's a battle of wits.

03:06:14.000 I'm not completely oblivious to the fact that I live somewhere that most people here aren't

03:06:19.000 libertarians.

03:06:20.000 I'm not completely oblivious to that.

03:06:22.000 I know that.

03:06:22.000 This is why it's an educational war as much as it is a moral might.

03:06:29.000 Because if we, this is why I wouldn't side with the Antifa type.

03:06:32.000 If we ended the government as is right now, where have we gotten?

03:06:37.000 Nowhere!

03:06:37.000 All that's going to happen is, is that a new one is going to form in this place as long as the people that are living there still think the same way it is that they think.

03:06:46.000 And this is why I say it's just as much educational as it is about a mind.

03:06:51.000 I agree that the federal government's got to integrate in what we're doing, but I also think that there's importance in regulation, that the government does utilize regulation sometimes to Yeah, to destroy small businesses and allow Amazon and all these other big box companies to profit and destroy small businesses and regulation.

03:07:09.000 And sometimes it's to keep the roads free for everyone to use.

03:07:11.000 So I think there is a value to leaving some sort of federal government in place.

03:07:15.000 Or making sure there's fluoride in people's drinking water so their teeth are clean.

03:07:18.000 Yeah, imagine if the government had a full monopoly on water. 0.97

03:07:22.000 How much crap would be in that water?

03:07:24.000 Well, as we know, Luke, you're completely wrong because all they did was put fluoride in it and that made our teeth clean. 0.99

03:07:31.000 Yes, not a fan of the fluoride guzzlers. 0.99

03:07:33.000 I'm super curious what the superchats have to say about this conversation and where they stand.

03:07:38.000 I think maybe we could even do a poll saying if you agree with this kind of idea you press 1 or you press 2 if you disagree.

03:07:46.000 JDTN says Tim is saying your situation sucks so leave. 0.98

03:07:48.000 Eric is saying your situation sucks so fix it. 1.00

03:07:50.000 Not true.

03:07:51.000 What I'm saying is, if you're advocating for competing legislative or judicial systems, and there's competition between them, you would, like, I'll put it this way.

03:08:01.000 Let's say there's a bunch of different burger restaurants, and you're like, man, I keep going to Burger King, it gets me sick every time.

03:08:05.000 Okay, go to Wendy's.

03:08:07.000 Right?

03:08:08.000 Or do you stand up and Burger King and demand they fix the burgers?

03:08:10.000 Absolutely.

03:08:11.000 Well, I mean, that's actually a form of more of a marketized form of regulation.

03:08:16.000 Because what happens if this Burger King or whatever did do that?

03:08:20.000 And I go run my big mouth about it.

03:08:22.000 This is why I'm against concepts like the Civil Rights Act.

03:08:26.000 And actually, there were examples of that.

03:08:27.000 One of the biggest myths is that well the southern states all just wanted to be very

03:08:32.000 racist against people.

03:08:33.000 That is factually incorrect.

03:08:35.000 You can look to examples like Plessy v. Ferguson where you had examples like the Louisiana

03:08:39.000 Boxcar Act, also known as the Separate Boxcar Act.

03:08:42.000 And there were actually companies that did not want to segregate their people.

03:08:47.000 That's not what they wanted to do.

03:08:48.000 They didn't want to segregate them, but instead what happened was, and this is why I had a

03:08:51.000 hard time believing that the state just up and allowed that, or the state wasn't utilized

03:08:57.000 to allow that sort of monopolization that we were mentioning earlier, the state, with

03:09:01.000 the Separate Boxcar Act, forced companies to segregate colored folk from black folk.

03:09:07.000 It was not a market.

03:09:09.000 The market itself, the actual company, which again don't take my word for anything, go look it up, was actually against that law for economic reasons.

03:09:17.000 It would cost them more to spend more money on boxcars having to try to separate the white folk from the colored folk. 0.99

03:09:23.000 So they themselves in the south We're against that particular law and there's instances that, for whatever reason, we don't talk about that.

03:09:32.000 Let's have the market decide.

03:09:34.000 Press 1 if you think Tim and Ian are correct.

03:09:37.000 Press 2 if you think me and Eric are correct.

03:09:40.000 Well, I am right.

03:09:40.000 Let the crowd decide.

03:09:41.000 Well, my point is, if you're advocating for the ability to choose between jurisdictions, you can do that.

03:09:46.000 I'm not saying you shouldn't try and fix the place you're living in.

03:09:49.000 I'm saying- We made a lot of different arguments, and I think Press 1, Tim and Ian Press 2, me and Luke and Eric.

03:09:55.000 Or 9 or 7.

03:09:56.000 1 or 2.

03:09:56.000 Let the crowd decide.

03:09:57.000 I think that's the most interesting way to kind of burst this conversation in the comment section.

03:10:01.000 Alright, so we just got in just a whole slew of superchats.

03:10:04.000 There's a whole bunch, man.

03:10:05.000 And they're all- Let me just- There's just so many.

03:10:08.000 Let's see.

03:10:08.000 I'll scroll down.

03:10:09.000 Tim is right.

03:10:10.000 Tim is the best.

03:10:11.000 Ensuring small gang tribal warfare is almost inevitable from anarchism.

03:10:14.000 There must be some type of social construct agreed upon to work.

03:10:16.000 It's mixed. It is. Some people are saying that, you know, and I'll read this one.

03:10:22.000 Ensuring small gang tribal warfare is almost inevitable from anarchism.

03:10:26.000 There must be some type of social construct agreed upon to work.

03:10:29.000 People equals a disparaging term.

03:10:32.000 Eric, you're being defensive AF. Breathe, man. LOL JK.

03:10:36.000 You're all this is me like this is slight work like we're individuals that talk about Fun all the time.

03:10:42.000 It's a slight work.

03:10:43.000 I hate that's gas textbook gaslight man.

03:10:45.000 You relax.

03:10:46.000 They said well JK I rather have smaller conflicts than bigger Bigger conflicts, and someone like Joe Biden with his fingers on the nuclear trigger right now.

03:10:59.000 I'd rather have that.

03:11:01.000 So, my personal choice.

03:11:03.000 TubeAmpsRule says, Ian, I've never seen you conclude your point more gentlemanly than you did today.

03:11:08.000 Thank you, sir.

03:11:10.000 You did good.

03:11:11.000 TheDeadMan says, Ian should look up the story of Thorn from Destiny.

03:11:14.000 The gun is the focal point of the stories concerning multiple guardians.

03:11:17.000 Yeah, I've played Destiny, and yes, check it out.

03:11:21.000 Let's see.

03:11:23.000 Blaze88 says, Tim's logic equals move somewhere less free if you don't think you are free enough here.

03:11:28.000 That's absolutely incorrect.

03:11:30.000 I'm saying, first of all, I'm not leaving this country because I love the Constitution.

03:11:33.000 The Constitution needs to be enforced.

03:11:34.000 So I agree, we gotta fix these problems.

03:11:37.000 The federal government has been amassing too much power.

03:11:40.000 The shift away from local government into federal government has caused problems for everybody across the country.

03:11:46.000 So I think we all agree on that.

03:11:47.000 There's a reason why, if people have the choice to choose, if people have the choice between jurisdictions, it's funny how they keep choosing to come here.

03:11:55.000 Because, you know, it's the best in the world, isn't it?

03:11:58.000 Gotta fix a lot of the problems, though.

03:11:59.000 Alright, let's see.

03:12:00.000 We've gone way over, so let's just read a couple more.

03:12:03.000 Eddsworld says, Anarchy ends in pay to win.

03:12:08.000 Dylan Keller says, if you guys end the stream without spinning the male vitality, I'm gonna flip out.

03:12:13.000 Okay, I'm gonna try and get it back on.

03:12:14.000 It fell off the metal.

03:12:15.000 It fell down.

03:12:16.000 Alright, alright, alright.

03:12:18.000 Dane Phillips says, just found out about Eric from the show last night.

03:12:21.000 Been watching his stuff all day.

03:12:22.000 Great stuff, Tim and co.

03:12:23.000 Very cool.

03:12:24.000 Now that we've gone an hour and 15 minutes over, I like your show.

03:12:27.000 What?

03:12:28.000 That was fun, I like it.

03:12:29.000 That was a good show.

03:12:30.000 But you guys need to take Ashwagandha.

03:12:32.000 That's another topic.

03:12:33.000 No, you need to take, isn't the male vitality?

03:12:35.000 I don't think we need less of that.

03:12:37.000 Male vitality from InfoWars life. 0.53

03:12:39.000 InfoWars.com.

03:12:41.000 Male vitality.

03:12:41.000 Spin that male vitality.

03:12:44.000 But it was an interesting debate.

03:12:45.000 It was fun.

03:12:46.000 And I think the comment section will let us know who they like more.

03:12:49.000 I think it's fair to say we all agree that the state is the only source of moral good in the world, and that the ability of individuals to freely trade their goods is amoral and wrong, and that the only true utopia will emerge once we take away all of the rights of free trade and communize the entire planet under an authoritarian one-world government.

03:13:10.000 For the greater well-being.

03:13:11.000 for equality.

03:13:12.000 That's the preference.

03:13:13.000 That everyone's equal.

03:13:14.000 The great reset, you know?

03:13:16.000 We already have that.

03:13:17.000 It's happening, so, you know.

03:13:19.000 Just go with it.

03:13:20.000 Yeah.

03:13:21.000 Decentralization and competition with a good referee in my opinion.

03:13:24.000 So I'm all in favor of a mixed economy and the U.S.

03:13:28.000 shifts a little bit back left and left and right but it's fairly in the middle when it comes to economic freedom.

03:13:33.000 It's far from a free market capitalism and a lot of regulation ends up becoming just gum in the gears of the machine making it messed up.

03:13:40.000 It's used as a weapon to hurt small businesses by big businesses.

03:13:43.000 And that's what it's historically done.

03:13:45.000 Minimum wage.

03:13:46.000 A lot of these things that people advocate right now were absolutely used to do just that.

03:13:51.000 To hurt competitors.

03:13:53.000 You know what I think the problem is with the healthcare system?

03:13:56.000 Because I hear the people on the left saying, single payer, simplify everything.

03:14:00.000 And then I hear the right saying, free market, show the prices.

03:14:03.000 And I'm like, you know, those are both actually fine arguments.

03:14:06.000 There's a lot of pitfalls you could probably find in some of them for different reasons based on moral arguments.

03:14:10.000 But what we have right now is like, they took some of just different parts and just mashed it all together.

03:14:15.000 And our healthcare system isn't capitalist or socialist.

03:14:18.000 It's just a weird mash of corporate profit that doesn't really... A better way to put it is a bunch of people getting rich off the backs of a bunch of other people through the power of the state.

03:14:29.000 That's not a free market, and that's not a socialist system at all. 0.99

03:14:32.000 It's a broken mash of garbage. 0.99

03:14:34.000 So, there you go. 1.00

03:14:37.000 Socialism for the super rich.

03:14:38.000 Corporatist?

03:14:39.000 Oligarchy? 0.71

03:14:40.000 Is that what it is?

03:14:41.000 It's just people who don't contribute extracting values in the power of the state.

03:14:46.000 That's what we have right now.

03:14:47.000 It's not, it's not, they say it's the capitalist, no it's not.

03:14:51.000 If it was capitalists, you'd have people competing with each other.

03:14:53.000 You know how much an aspirin costs.

03:14:55.000 You don't even know the price.

03:14:56.000 You go to the hospital and you're like, I went to the hospital several years ago.

03:14:58.000 I had a kidney stone.

03:14:59.000 They didn't give me a list of the prices of the breakdown.

03:15:01.000 They just gave me a bill for $25,000 a day later, after a day in the hospital.

03:15:06.000 And I called them and said, what is this?

03:15:08.000 I was like, 25 grand, I was in the hospital for a day.

03:15:10.000 And they were like, well, you know, just give us your insurance.

03:15:11.000 I said, I don't have insurance.

03:15:12.000 Because it was the week between when I left Vice and went to Fusion.

03:15:16.000 And here's what they said.

03:15:17.000 Oh, let me send you the corrected bill.

03:15:21.000 Yep.

03:15:22.000 How does that make sense?

03:15:23.000 $16,000 criminal insurance.

03:15:25.000 What was that?

03:15:26.000 That would have been $21,000.

03:15:27.000 $25,000 was the total bill.

03:15:28.000 So what does that make?

03:15:31.000 600% markup or something?

03:15:33.000 They didn't write on the prices either.

03:15:34.000 I was like, I don't know what this is.

03:15:35.000 Because the system is broken right now.

03:15:36.000 It doesn't make sense.

03:15:37.000 So that's the real problem.

03:15:41.000 It's not, we're not, we're not, you can't mash these things together and then just have like a Frankenstein of a system.

03:15:47.000 It doesn't make sense.

03:15:48.000 I'll leave it at that, huh?

03:15:49.000 All right, Eric.

03:15:49.000 Thanks for hanging out.

03:15:50.000 I appreciate it.

03:15:50.000 That was fun.

03:15:52.000 We went long.

03:15:53.000 We definitely should.

03:15:53.000 Yeah.

03:15:54.000 So, uh, I don't know.

03:15:56.000 We'll probably do something fun and extend for New Year's Eve.

03:15:59.000 Maybe we'll go, we'll go live all the three.

03:16:00.000 Are you, are you hanging out?

03:16:12.000 That's the day that I'm leaving.

03:16:13.000 Alright, well, you know, we're gonna have a lot of fun, but you want to shout out your channel or anything like that?

03:16:17.000 Oh yeah, YoungGroupOfFiveNine, that's the channel if you want to holler at me.

03:16:19.000 Of course, at Eric D. July.

03:16:23.000 You name it, man.

03:16:23.000 And again, I appreciate you.

03:16:25.000 Appreciate you having me on.

03:16:26.000 This is the subset of conversations that we need to have.

03:16:30.000 I love when people are like, this is the best episode ever.

03:16:33.000 Whenever we're yelling at each other, it's the best episode.

03:16:36.000 It's what friends do, man.

03:16:38.000 That's what I'm saying.

03:16:39.000 If y'all thought that I'm going to punch Tim in the face or something like that.

03:16:43.000 Or Ian.

03:16:43.000 Don't yell at me.

03:16:44.000 He was the one arguing.

03:16:47.000 We could have boxing matches.

03:16:48.000 Yeah, I mean, it would be volunteering, of course.

03:16:52.000 We'll play an Airsoft game, and we'll film it, and then Eric's like, ah!

03:16:58.000 Ian's like, okay, you won!

03:17:01.000 Luke, what's your channel?

03:17:02.000 My YouTube channel is WeAreChange and you can find me under LukeWeAreChange on Instagram, Twitter, Venmo, and I also have t-shirts like the one that I'm wearing today and yesterday that you could buy on Teespring's WeAreChange.

03:17:15.000 I got some really good ideas for clothing we're gonna make soon.

03:17:18.000 Let's do it.

03:17:19.000 Yeah.

03:17:19.000 Shout out if you're a graphic... I think I have a few graphic designers already.

03:17:22.000 It's gonna be fun.

03:17:23.000 It's not gonna be political.

03:17:24.000 Well, my short store helps me to be free and independent and it's been huge and I thank you guys so much for purchasing it because it keeps me up and running and keeps me away from, you know, doing anything else.

03:17:35.000 So, thank you.

03:17:36.000 I appreciate you.

03:17:37.000 Ian, I hear that you have a Twitter or something.

03:17:39.000 I do.

03:17:39.000 It's at Ian Crossland.

03:17:40.000 You can follow me all over the internet.

03:17:41.000 In fact, my YouTube channel, I just uploaded a video today talking about some ideas about fixing our government, our financial system, and our internet bill of rights that you can watch on my YouTube channel at Ian Crossland.

03:17:53.000 I think everybody here like we have in common is like libertarian.

03:17:56.000 In a certain degree like varying degrees of libertarian is what like but then there's like cooperative versus

03:18:01.000 competitive and you like certain arguments But yeah, I don't think it's it's not doesn't strike me as

03:18:06.000 a utopian answer But it seems like the most sensical path towards like a

03:18:11.000 next generation of a one-world communist government or something simple like that

03:18:15.000 And of course you can follow you can follow us our patch lives yes

03:18:21.000 Yes, and I really do like engaging with libertarians much more than authoritarians, because libertarians tend to think out what they think, and authoritarians do not.
