In this episode of the Trial and Error Program, we talk about a bunch of random stuff and talk about the lack of news and conspiracy theories that have been circulating around the internet for a while now. We talk about Project Veritas and how they got to where they are now and why they are doing what they do.
00:03:25.000It looks like there's a trick where if we have the audio not working, everyone super chats us to give us money to let us know it's not working.
00:03:31.000Oh, that's like a trick to make money.
00:08:12.000They say the allegations from Project Veritas says that at least one employee from Cherry Health was told by a superior to get in their car and join the line of people being tested for COVID-19 at the heart of the city health center.
00:08:24.000The center was one of several locations across the country being featured in a report by CBS News.
00:08:28.000The piece was published Friday, May 1st.
00:08:31.000According to the Project Veritas report, one of Cherry Health's directors ordered personnel to enter the line in their vehicles.
00:08:37.000In undercover videos, the staff claims that swab tests were not being done during the segments recording to protect the actual patients that were in line.
00:08:46.000The report by CBS News focused on the need for medical gowns and N95 masks.
00:08:50.000On May 6th, CBS removed all mention of Cherry Health and added a note to the story highlighting the questions surrounding the video footage.
00:08:58.000In a statement to Project Verdas, CBS News President Susan Zirinsky said, CBS News did not stage anything at the Cherry Health facility.
00:09:07.000Any suggestion to the contrary is 100% false.
00:09:11.000We reached out to Cherry Health to address them immediately.
00:09:14.000They informed us for the first time that one of their chief officers told at least one staffer to get in the testing line along with real patients.
00:09:22.000No one from CBS News had any knowledge of this before tonight.
00:09:25.000They also said that their actions did not prevent any actual patients from being tested.
00:09:30.000We take the accuracy of our reporting very seriously, and we are removing the cherry health portion from the piece.
00:10:49.000To date, we have completed close to 600 COVID-19 tests at our heart of the city health center.
00:10:55.000We also share with CBS This Morning that on the day of their interview, our supply of personnel protection equipment was at a two-week supply level.
00:11:03.000To my knowledge, CBS This Morning did not stage any part of their visit to our site.
00:11:57.000What they're doing is a trick to make you think that 34 people were in line.
00:12:03.000It's assumptive language, and it's a very common sales pressure technique, PR manipulation technique.
00:12:10.000You'll say something where you want the other person to make an assumption, that way you can always feign, you know, like you can deny responsibility.
00:12:19.000So I would say this, so it's like, you go, Did you actually have 34 people?
00:12:26.000Did you actually have a huge line of people?
00:12:28.00034 people were getting tested that day.
00:13:08.000Project Veritas just obtained an email that occurred last night between Cherry Health CEO Tasha Blackman and CBS News reporter Andrena Diaz that conflicts with the on-the-record statements given by both organizations.
00:13:52.000So, this is what the email said, I am learning, so this is from Tasha Blackman, I am learning that some of our staff may have been hanging around near the testing tent and some even may have pulled their cars up to get in the video and or make it look a bit busier.
00:14:08.000I am sure many staff were anxious to show you just how busy things can get.
00:14:48.000And now we have confirmation that... I don't know who... It sounds like from this email, this woman, the CEO, is acknowledging they staged it.
00:15:44.000So it makes you wonder when you see videos like this, right?
00:15:47.000This is just like a small YouTube channel.
00:15:49.000This is a video that's going around as well.
00:15:50.000It's got 2,000 views, claiming that Hawaii did the same thing.
00:15:54.000Now, there's also a QAnon hashtag in there, and that immediately destroys all of the credibility of the people making these claims.
00:15:59.000And I don't think they realize that, but for those of you that are listening, if you find or uncover something, and you put anything related to QAnon or pizza or anything, you will immediately make sure the story is completely destroyed, killed instantly.
00:16:12.000This is why I tell people, conspiracy theories are not your friend.
00:16:16.000Even if you think you have proof and evidence, the moment you try and claim it, everyone will just drop you in the trash.
00:17:08.000And then, because you're convinced that your tribe is correct and you're right, you throw in a hashtag like QAnon.
00:17:15.000You've immediately just proven to any regular person, like I'm not talking about journalists who are gonna lie, I'm talking about regular people are gonna see that and go, not interested.
00:17:32.000It's a trick to get you to discredit anything you might actually find.
00:17:35.000There are a bunch of conspiracy theories where this happens, and I'm like, you may have uncovered government malfeasance, but they set these traps so that when you come out and say it, they can easily point you and go, oh, they're a crazy person, and then everyone says, you're right.
00:17:50.000So it's kind of like, you know Bob Lazar?
00:17:54.000One of the things that people have said, and Joe talked about this on his show, they may have given him all this false information so that if he ever went out to the press, no one would believe him.
00:18:06.000Not only that, no one would know what the government really had.
00:18:10.000So let's say the government was developing real anti-grav tech or something.
00:18:14.000You bring a guy in, you show him the real tech, but then you also show him 50 fake techs.
00:18:19.000Then when he goes out and blows the whistle or whatever, he tells everyone all this crazy nonsense, and then people are like, that's ridiculous.
00:18:26.000And no one will know which one actually was.
00:18:29.000So that's why you gotta avoid this stuff.
00:18:30.000If you go out and you find something, you gotta avoid the conspiracy stuff.
00:18:34.000And, you know, even if you take offense at the idea of the word conspiracy, I mean literal conspiracies, like if you find a hospital staging an event, just put up the video.
00:18:42.000Don't try and claim it has anything to do with anything else.
00:18:44.000Because you're falling for these pit traps, man.
00:20:51.000What if we are in a simulation, but, like, the kid turned on The Sims and just, like, went to college and his computer is just on auto-mode.
00:21:29.000You know, like, all of these news stories that come out, they've sensationalized everything.
00:21:34.000There was a video, I covered this a few years ago, there's a video of someone, like, a car blowing up in Iraq, I think, and then a bunch of people run in and then lay down and start rolling around on the ground, and then journalists run up and start filming it.
00:21:49.000Like they're the ones who got hit by it?
00:21:51.000Like the people who were on the ground rolling around, like they got hit by an explosion.
00:21:55.000I swear to God, it's like I have the video, the explosion happens, they all run in, lay down and start rolling around on the ground.
00:24:28.000She told the media that they wrote fake news, and I'm like, like, I know it feels good to see her be like, you guys published fake news too, and it's like, yeah.
00:27:02.000Just take Don Lemon and take Hannity, put them in a house together, lock the door for 30 days, and put some cameras in there, and we'll watch what happens.
00:29:14.000For those that haven't seen the movie, it's about 500 years in the future, the general idea, it's from Mike Judge, smart dude.
00:29:21.000The idea is that Evolution is just rewarding those who reproduce the most.
00:29:28.000So people who are smart aren't surviving.
00:29:31.000They're waiting too long at having kids, and then dumb people are just having tons of kids, and then eventually the future is just tons of really dumb people.
00:31:33.000And he's just yelling all these, you know, conspiracy things to the crowd and everyone's like, yeah!
00:31:40.000But then, like, he disappeared for a while and it was like he came back and he's like, nah, everything's cool, everything's cool.
00:31:47.000Somebody called him out and they were like... I feel like he knows he like got into the in the millionaires club and then they were like oh yeah Kanye come on here look at all these secrets we know.
00:31:59.000And then like went nuts and then somehow it's like that the Chinese report the Chinese doctor no the reporter I think who disappeared for two months and then came back was like everything's wonderful.
00:35:36.000Basically, what it is, is him telling, I guess it's a room full of reporters, like, I graduated, top of my class, I had three PhDs, and I was a lawyer, and all these other things.
00:35:49.000And then they're finding out he was like, all of it bottom 10% yeah yeah he graduated with just one
00:35:55.000degree and he made it all up and he said i'm sorry my memory failed me and that was a
00:36:01.000long time ago dude if your memory is failing you when you're in your 40s and now you're 78 and you want
00:36:06.000to be president man i don't know where your memory's going at this point but he couldn't even
00:36:09.000remember a name so think about the kind of person he is true he is he
00:37:02.000I hope this doesn't reflect poorly on me, and I will still have your vote come November.
00:37:08.000No, he's the swamp monster that is the prop for all the monsters that are already embedded that want the puppet to do what they want them to do.
00:38:19.000The people are angry and want a change!
00:38:22.000And then they look down and they go, Go away, Bernie!
00:38:24.000And they start throwing stuff at him, and he's like, Oof!
00:38:26.000And then the other side, they have a bull with this crazy orange hair, and they just let him go.
00:38:32.000And he runs full speed and smashes through the door and starts going like, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr And so, the point I'm making is, Donald Trump clearly is not a part of this crony structure.
00:38:54.000You can argue there's a ton of things wrong with Trump, for sure.
00:39:36.000Like, after the bull is done and tired, and then leaves the building and just goes off to graze in the pasture, then Bernie and your people can, you know, knock on the- like, there's no door left.
00:39:47.000So I think what would really happen is after the bull leaves, the people who brought the bull will then stand next to the people who brought Bernie, and they'll have a conversation.
00:39:55.000And it might not be Bernie, but, like, the establishment is on its last leg.
00:40:01.000The only reason the media entertained the Biden stuff is because it was put out by the progressives.
00:40:08.000The New York Times, I'd be willing to bet, when they ran that defense piece for Biden, they started getting tons of emails from people being like, what are you doing?
00:40:47.000They're like, you know, cancel culture all the way.
00:40:50.000But to bring it back to the main point, man, isn't it refreshing that they're being honest about what they want to do and why they want to do it?
00:41:11.000And you can predict what the spokesperson's gonna say.
00:41:15.000Like, look at the Project Veritas story we covered.
00:41:17.000You know exactly what they're gonna do.
00:41:19.000Whoa, we completely deny any wrongdoing, we're totally confused by this, and then, like, when you actually see behind the scenes, they're lying to your face.
00:41:54.000But Trump, that dude really just does say it.
00:41:57.000Like, my favorite thing ever with Trump just blurting stuff out is when he was like, he's being interviewed in front of the helicopter or whatever in the Rose Garden or something.
00:42:05.000And they're like, what's going on with this Saudi Arabia deal?
00:42:08.000And he goes, oh, it's really, really great.
00:42:09.000They're going to pay us a whole lot of money.
00:42:20.000Something the president's not supposed to admit.
00:42:22.000We sell weapons for cash to bolster our economy.
00:42:25.000And then the other funny thing was when Trump said that he was going to be sending, or we might send troops to Saudi Arabia, someone in the administration gave a comment saying Saudi Arabia pays cash.
00:42:49.000You might be wrong, because I'm looking at a letter to the editor from Martin Tolchin, who was a former member of the Washington Times Bureau and a founder of Politico.
00:43:00.000And he's talking about throwing all democratic values under the bus for Joe Biden.
00:44:05.000yeah i don't know what show that's he's hilarious and he's on the fence
00:44:10.000that's what the democrats are saying right now yeah basically well you know
00:44:12.000because because here's what i'll say about trump they're not arguing anything about him
00:44:17.000Just saying he's bad doesn't tell me anything.
00:44:21.000I get really frustrated by these pundits on Twitter when they're calling Kayleigh McEnany, I think is her name, they're like, what a ridiculous press conference.
00:44:30.000She was so dumb, she didn't even say anything.
00:45:52.000Like- I mean, I kind of know the story.
00:45:54.000Trying to keep a family friendly, man, but that some woman claimed that he'd go to parties where they would drug women and line up outside the door to have- to take turns on the drugged unconscious woman.
00:46:08.000Like, people were like, if anything like that ever happened, it would be one of the biggest scandals in the history of like the- where did he go, to Yale, I think?
00:46:15.000It would be like the biggest scandal in the history of the school.
00:47:14.000It gets to a point where... I've never really, you know... Like, the way they've described Trump as, like, all of these pure evil, embodiment of pure orange evil, whatever.
00:47:24.000I've never... I don't buy into that stuff.
00:47:31.000It's like, we've exposed their lies so many times, they've finally just, it's like, I imagine you've got this Democrat standing in front of you, and they scream, Donald Trump is working for Russia!
00:49:32.000So it's like, it's a funny joke where you're about to get in a fight with somebody and you're like, I can run faster scared than you can mad.
00:50:23.000Because I think what the left has is a small, it's a large faction, don't get me wrong, it's probably in the millions, of like super anti-Trump resistance people, high profile ones.
00:51:11.000Then you have some people who have been lifelong Democrats who I've talked to recently, like friends of mine, who completely agree about Joe Biden.
00:51:22.000And this is what the establishment— Completely agree that they don't care?
00:53:23.000There's one tweet that he put out there.
00:53:26.000I say he in the lightest terms because I highly doubt he did any of it, but it was basically about changing our energy infrastructure to renewable instead of consumable.
00:53:39.000Do you know what specifically he wanted to do?
00:55:12.000They're going to wheelchair him into the room, and then whoever the VP is will walk up and be like, he'll lean out of the door to the reporters.
00:55:21.000We're now getting ready for negotiations and then the journalists start writing things down and then they start wheeling Joe Biden out of the room and they just put him by the window and he's like slumped over sleeping with like the sunbeam on him.
00:56:52.000We've endured, man, when Russiagate happened, I was like, well, you know, this may happen, we should entertain these investigations, see what happens, and then it turned out it was bunk, and I'm like, well, now that we've all determined it's fake, we can all move on, and they didn't.
00:57:06.000Then we got Ukrainegate, and I was like, are you seriously doing this again?
00:57:09.000Then they tried to impeach him and I was like, oh no.
00:57:12.000Now I'm like, I long for the day when you get to feel some kind of comeuppance for all that you have put us through.
00:58:18.000Look, Donald Trump had tariffs, he crushed the TPP, he made a ton of dramatic changes.
00:58:25.000The craziest thing to me, It was what Michael Moore said, that Trump walked into that auto execs, and told them straight up, I'm gonna put a 30% tax on your cars, no one will ever buy them again.
00:58:37.000And Michael Moore said this, and he was like, this sent a message to people in Michigan, like Trump's actually standing up for you.
00:58:43.000It's the weirdest thing, why did Michael Moore have to sell his soul?
00:58:45.000Not like he was a great person to begin with.
00:58:47.000But that monologue he had, back in 2016, the biggest FU, he was right.
00:58:53.000So you get someone like that with Trump, who has proven the economy worked under him really well, man.
01:00:58.000The Democrats cheated Bernie, and Bernie wasn't strong enough to push back.
01:01:01.000Like, the easiest example of this is, remember when, I don't know if you watched the debates, do you see when Andrew Yang's mic was turned off?
01:01:11.000So, in the Democrat debates, there's a scene, there's one point where people are talking, and then you see Andrew Yang start talking, but you can't hear anything.
01:01:18.000He, like, raises his hand, you see his mouth move, no sound comes out.
01:03:04.000And that's why I think maybe they're not really admitting it about Joe Biden scandals.
01:03:09.000Maybe what they're really doing is, I'm doing air quotes, admitting it so that they can be like, you guys are right, we're gonna have to get rid of him.
01:06:18.000But all power—like, as powerful as the witch was.
01:06:20.000Like, flying monkeys going around, but she can't think straight, so she's just, like, smashing things and, like, throwing things at people.
01:06:26.000You'd be like, that's—at least the Wicked Witch has a plan, I guess.
01:07:03.000We were listening to a Rogan podcast on the way to Rogan, and it was, I think, Owen Smith, and he mentioned that the Biden vote will probably be people who want that feeling back of what life was like during the Obama years.
01:09:26.000I'd be like, you know, so when he did that whole injecting bleach thing, I saw it and I was like, whoa.
01:09:31.000And then I immediately did a segment where I was like, yeah, it was a stupid thing to say.
01:09:34.000And then I did some more digging and I was like, oh, I mean, it kind of was, but it actually is being overblown in a lot of different ways.
01:09:41.000And then a bunch of people said to me, like, I can't believe you fell for this.
01:09:53.000I know now you're gonna find some, like, weird activist grouping, like, Tim Poolf is a conspiracy theorist, thinks the media only lies ever.
01:10:00.000No, I use mainstream sources all the time.
01:10:02.000I have to fact-check them constantly, because it's kind of like, in mainstream media, you have a bunch of journalists that are the equivalent of landmines.
01:10:13.000Out of the hundred journalists they have, how many of them are activists secretly working to push a political agenda?
01:10:21.000I wouldn't bet most, because what a lot of people don't realize is that a lot of the columnists for, like, the New York Times, who write these things, don't actually work there.
01:10:27.000It's like they have a column where they have a contract to write once a month or something.
01:10:31.000A lot of the journalists write really boring things you never read.
01:10:34.000Because it'll be like a sentence where it'll be like, you know, today the stocks rebounded, blah, blah, blah.
01:10:39.000In fact, they're using a lot of robots to do that.
01:10:41.000So there are a lot of regular journalists, you'll never hear their names.
01:10:44.000But most of the people we see when we're talking about journalists are like Twitter activists.
01:10:49.000And so we see this hyper-concentration.
01:10:51.000And so then when I'm navigating the news, it's like walking in a minefield.
01:10:56.000Like, I'll step on a mine, and I'll go, aha!
01:10:58.000And then I'll have to crouch down, and there's the activist journalist, and diffuse it.
01:11:01.000And then you walk, and like, for the most part, you walk through this field, there's real news all over the place.
01:12:45.000I'm saying you're going to have to box somebody out for those Beyond Burgers.
01:12:49.000I think I'm gonna get in trouble YouTube's gonna demonetize us cuz I mocked punched I swear to God seriously yeah yeah I got we got we got flagged on one video and it was like real-life depictions of violence or whatever like the only thing in the video is me going like haha like fake swinging punches For the record, he was fake punching me, and I could take a punch, so.
01:16:07.000Oh, so that being said, if you, if, you know, there is a real concern about that, share the video, share the podcast if you really do like it, because Yes, I'm gonna go ahead and like this video right now.
01:16:51.000Mexico City Man in Cheese says NY is forcing medical volunteers that came from out of state to pay New York income tax even on income from their home state.
01:17:10.000Like, I get it if you're a billionaire and you're like, I don't care if I give a hundred million dollars to the city because I have billions.
01:17:28.000Freedom Autopsy Report says, will you call out the double standard with mosques being open versus churches being closed?
01:17:34.000This could be potentially anecdotal, and so that's why I haven't really got into it, but there have been, like, there were tweets highlighted from Bill de Blasio where he was like, we're gonna be giving food to all these mosques in these trying times.
01:17:45.000And then him turning around and being like, and we're gonna hunt you down, synagogues.
01:18:25.000The video I watched, and the only thing I know, is that there's a man jogging down the street, there's a white pickup truck stopped at an intersection, the man jogs around the pickup truck, gets into a fight with the guy in front, and then he gets shot and killed.
01:18:37.000He's fighting over a gun with some guy and punches him in the face and then gets shot and killed.
01:18:40.000I'm not saying he was guilty, innocent, nothing.
01:18:43.000I'm telling you literally what the video shows you.
01:18:45.000I already know people are gonna be screaming that I'm bigoted and racist because I didn't push their line where they said he was hunted down and killed in cold blood.
01:18:55.000I think Joe Biden called it cold-blooded murder.
01:18:57.000And I'm like, I don't know, when there's someone boxing you and trying to take your shotgun from you, it's literally not cold-blooded murder.
01:19:07.000All I know is I watched a video, you see there's a car driving and there's a man jogging in the street, white pickup truck, he goes around the right side, comes around the front, and then he's fighting with one guy.
01:19:16.000There's a guy standing in the back of the pickup truck, and then the two guys, Ahmad or whatever his name is?
01:19:25.000They fight, Ahmad punches the dude, you hear the guy in the back of the pickup truck fires a shot, and then Ahmad, like, breaks away, walks, and then falls down.
01:19:34.000So they're saying that, uh, apparently these people in the truck were like chasing after him or something.
01:20:09.000They say, stop, we want to talk to you.
01:20:10.000The guy somehow gets into a fight with a dude in the front, and then he gets shot and killed.
01:20:15.000Of course, they're claiming it was cold-blood murder, and I've seen progressive activists argue that they got in their pickup truck, drove around, and hunted him down and just killed him in cold blood.
01:20:25.000And I'm like, that is not in any of this video footage.
01:20:30.000But the video, he runs up to the truck?
01:21:02.000And it looks like, you know, they're behind him, and he's like out in front of the car, like they would have shot him at a distance ahead of them.
01:21:08.000So, here's the pickup truck, the two guys are fighting, then Ahmed breaks away like this, and then collapses.
01:21:16.000And the guy's standing here, and the guy's standing in the back.
01:21:17.000So they took that picture after the video goes down.
01:21:21.000Cause Ahmad looks like he runs up from behind the truck.
01:21:24.000They get into it by the driver's side door.
01:21:40.000Naturally, the progressives don't care about stopping collecting facts.
01:21:45.000You're gonna see a bunch of progressive activists arguing that, you know, it's racism, it's cold-blooded murder, it's, you know, this is Trump's America, things like this.
01:21:55.000And you'll probably see some more elements of the ultra-traditionalist right and racists saying things like, nah, they were patrolling the neighborhood, they were doing the right thing.
01:22:05.000And then you'll probably find This is unfortunate, but it's true.
01:22:08.000Most liberals don't know, don't care, and won't listen to it.
01:24:19.000And so we were talking, and I asked her questions, like, about affirmative action, I asked about social justice, about, you know, all this weird culture war stuff, about impeachment and scandals, and she was in agreement with me on everything.
01:24:31.000And then I'm like, if you're gonna agree with me on all this stuff, and, like, we have similar policy positions when it comes to, like, economics and social justice issues, we're not authoritarian, why would you, like, you make the assumption that my criticism of these groups makes me a conservative, And I was like, but you completely agree with me.
01:27:10.000But so, I was recording, I put on my contacts in the morning, and then I was recording, and I said something, and I went like this, and grabbed nothing.
01:28:59.000Skateboarders wear overshirts and beanies even in the dead of summer.
01:29:04.000Go to Lower East Side Skate Park, and I saw a dude wearing a wool sweater and a beanie, just soaking wet skating, and it was 90-something degrees, and I'm like, that's too much for me!
01:29:14.000So the first thing is, I grew up in Chicago, so the style was very much winterized for the most part, so beanies made sense.
01:29:21.000But I also have a ton of videos, photos, wearing baseball caps.
01:29:24.000The main reason to wear it is it wicks the sweat away from your face while you're skating.
01:29:29.000But we were just skating the other day, and my beanie filled with sweat.
01:31:46.000But you can click the link in the description below and get a t-shirt with a beanie on it.
01:31:50.000That's the thing, like, it became something.
01:31:53.000And the more people bring it up, and the more it becomes something, the more it entrenches exactly what the beanie is supposed to be doing.
01:32:00.000Not only that, I can walk around my neighborhood in shorts and a t-shirt, and like, nobody knows who I am.
01:34:27.000And they're gonna do it and it's gonna make them look bad.
01:34:30.000Connor says, I love the Beanie Brigade, but I saw that Family Guy episode where someone lifted Meg's hat and there was some strange life form coming out of the top of her head and I have to wonder.
01:34:39.000Well, I know I just told you that story.
01:34:42.000For the sake of just being transparent and honest, because I did rag on fake news, it's the brain slug that controls my mind, is protected, shielded.
01:34:57.000Kadj says, German farmers are essentially enslaving Romanian workers by stealing their passports upon arrival, forcing them to pay to get them returned, and paying them less than one-tenth of what they were promised.
01:35:08.000Yeah, a lot of countries have done this.
01:40:49.000And surprisingly, they're not conspiracy theorists.
01:40:52.000They're like, we're really concerned, but you gotta consider the economics.
01:40:54.000It sounds very much like what I've been saying, but you can actually hear it from them now, as opposed to when you go on Twitter and these journalists are like, they just want haircuts.
01:41:03.000It's like, no, the Subverse crew actually went and found out what these people are actually trying to do.
01:41:11.000Some Grumpy Goat says, ever since I've been listening to this stream, as a bit of a bodybuilder, I've been trying to make my diet more green.
01:41:35.000Daniel Sotelo says, every time I see a post referencing QAnon, I think of the character Q from Star Trek The Next Generation and I can't take it seriously.
01:42:17.000WikiLeaks Twitter claimed in 2019 that QAnon is actually a Pied Piper operation to find enemies
01:42:22.000of the establishment makes them easier to discredit. That's what I'm saying. Listen,
01:42:27.000within whatever the QAnon thing is, there's probably morsels of truth. And so there's
01:42:32.000legitimate things that could be captured. But I'll be honest, I don't know a whole lot about QAnon.
01:42:36.000Right. That's the point. But what happens is, let's say you discover some dude embezzling cash.
01:42:42.000What they'll do is, They'll release a bunch of emails somehow, and the emails will talk about weird things.
01:42:48.000And then when you come out and say, I've discovered it, they're embezzling money because they're secretly trying to hoard magnetic frogs to build a new race of Mars-dwelling frogmen, then you're just like, whoa.
01:43:02.000But the truth was they're embezzling money.
01:43:41.000Because every time someone emerges, they get destroyed.
01:43:44.000They get their funding pulled, they get accused of being bigots, they get flooded by, you know, like, ultra-traditionalists and, like, weirdos and conspiracy stuff, and they get eviscerated and just blown out of the water.
01:43:56.000Like, there are activists and media who want to make sure only powerful corporate entities can survive.
01:44:12.000All Metal Mike says, I'm fighting fake news by having a mannequin sit at my laptop and using a fake online account while drinking fake coffee.
01:45:32.000Yes, people have actually suggested this to me, the Vela incident.
01:45:36.000One of the things we wanted to do is like reserve the last portion of the show for more like weird, wild mysteries, UFOs, aliens and stuff.
01:45:43.000So I think we'll try and do that more consistently.
01:45:46.000Bloody Bleeder says, damn Adam, how you let Tim dunk on you like that.
01:45:51.000I don't remember specifically what that was in reference to, though.
01:46:57.000That are better or worse in some capacity than, like, what they did ban, proving that the bans had nothing to do with anything other than cosmetics.
01:48:25.000It's basically a video that shows these people out in China going into these caves.
01:48:32.000And I actually watched a little bit of it.
01:48:34.000It was right before the show, so we didn't really have time to gather it.
01:48:38.000I mean, they would spend days in these caves.
01:48:41.000It wasn't like they were just going in and grabbing a bat.
01:48:44.000They would go in and stay in these caves for days on end, capturing these bats and collecting samples off them, pulling ticks off them, because only, I guess, specific ticks are only found in these bats.
01:48:59.000So that's another thing they're collecting.
01:50:09.000It is true, but it's... I also point out, the thing about prophecy is that if you take, you know, what is it saying?
01:50:17.000Like, you know, a million monkeys will write Shakespeare or something?
01:50:20.000Yeah, so out of the hundreds of millions of people who use Twitter, one guy said, look at this, someone might die, and then everyone goes back to it like, whoa!
01:50:28.000Well, especially when, you know, Ian came in here and he was like, do you guys see about this Fauci thing that he has, like, he's set to gain a lot of money because his company is going to be making the vaccine.
01:51:03.000RJ RJ says, butcher for a Kroger-owned store.
01:51:05.000The shortage has some initial truth, yet is also part of self-fulfilling prophecy, making it more true as we go, already limiting how much a customer can buy.
01:53:06.000Look, there have been some good libertarian candidates, but there have also been some really wacky ones, and there's a lot of things I can't really agree on.
01:53:12.000There's an interesting conversation, because depending on, like there's different kinds of libertarians.
01:53:18.000Do you believe in open borders or closed borders?
02:01:20.000Titan says, although Bernie dropped out and didn't give up his delegates, could he re-enter the race with his delegates and be the frontrunner?
02:01:30.000I don't necessarily think so, because I think it goes to an open convention and the delegates can vote for whoever they want.
02:03:39.000Thomas Smith, thanks for the super chat.
02:03:41.000He says, Tim, respect your opinion, but if you can't vote for either the R's or the D's, then you need to find a third party that you can vote for, even if they can't win.
02:03:48.000That says more than not voting at all.
02:07:11.000Tyler says, Any thoughts on Tesla HVAC system using advanced heat pumps to pump heat out of refrigerator freezer and into water heater as well as handling individual room temperature, therefore being very efficient?
02:07:23.000That's interesting, because I actually, believe it or not, I used to work HVAC.
02:07:28.000My dad owned his own business for a while, so I know how to do all that stuff, and it is not very efficient, and Freon isn't very good for the environment, so if we could find a way to move away from that, that would be great.
02:07:39.000Hans says, Hi Tim, greetings from the Philippines.
02:07:41.000Have you heard of the craziness of the pro-China Philippine president, cops shooting an unarmed war vet with PTSD, and the president shutting down a news agency?
02:10:21.000When he does what they want, what the machine wants.
02:10:24.000Matthew says, those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
02:10:30.000Benjamin Franklin, a quote that was true back then and is now, open up everything.
02:10:34.000My favorite version is, those that would sacrifice liberty for a little bit of security deserve neither and will lose both.
02:10:42.000Devon says, MEPS doesn't want soldiers that have had COVID due to the fact that they don't know how the long-term effect of the virus, and how the long-term effect of the virus, and it may cause people to be combat ineffective.
02:12:31.000Andrew says, thoughts on bamboo skateboard decks.
02:12:34.000I'm a big fan, but they don't seem to last that long.
02:12:36.000They seem to get spongy real fast, right?
02:12:38.000Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know about a full, like full bamboo decks that are like long boards are different than, I don't know if I've ever seen a full bamboo skate deck.
02:12:49.000I know there's some arbor boards have a top sheet.
02:12:52.000So it's only one sheet out of like nine or eight or I don't know how many layers they have.
02:12:56.000They're really, really good, and they seem to lose their rigidity really quickly.
02:13:01.000Yeah, they're good if you're a sponsored skater, that you're breaking boards, you're a heavy, heavy skater.
02:13:06.000Well, you're not gonna break a bamboo board.
02:15:11.000Yeah, yeah, like, you know, fold it in half and then do it here and tie it back, because then the VR still fits comfortably because it's really thin, but it also kind of catches the sweat.
02:16:03.000Subscribe for more videos because we put up clips every single day.
02:16:07.000And, uh, yeah, man, make sure to follow me at Timcast, follow Adam Kregler at Adam Kregler, send Adam stories on Twitter, and then we will talk about them on the show.
