Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - TimcastIRL - Digital "Journalism" Is Collapsing And Its BAD, LET IT BURRRRNNNN

00:00:03.000 How's it going, everybody?

00:00:04.000 Welcome to the TimCast IRL podcast.

00:00:06.000 I am here.

00:00:07.000 I am Tim Poole.

00:00:08.000 I'm hanging out with some of my friends.

00:00:09.000 You know, you know me, Adam Krigler.

00:00:11.000 How's it going?

00:00:12.000 Yeah, you know me.

00:00:12.000 Thanks for showing up.

00:00:13.000 What up?

00:00:14.000 And you know me, Lydia, the producer, Sour Patch Lids.

00:00:17.000 You technically have a beanie on today.

00:00:19.000 Do I?

00:00:20.000 Yeah.

00:00:20.000 Oh, yeah.

00:00:21.000 Look.

00:00:21.000 Hold on.

00:00:21.000 It's on your shirt.

00:00:21.000 It's right on the shirt.

00:00:22.000 Oh, wait.

00:00:23.000 So we are truly the beanie gang. 0.88

00:00:25.000 Sweet.

00:00:25.000 Beanie gang.

00:00:27.000 Beanie Bros doesn't really work.

00:00:28.000 If you listen very carefully.

00:00:31.000 You can hear the birds.

00:00:32.000 I can hear them.

00:00:32.000 So we opened up the skylight, so if I sneeze 500,000 times, that'll be why.

00:00:39.000 Allergy sucker.

00:00:40.000 Yep, yep, yep.

00:00:40.000 Hey man, it's all a part of growing up.

00:00:42.000 You can't see me, but I'm pointing and laughing at him.

00:00:43.000 Wait, here.

00:00:44.000 There you go.

00:00:45.000 Proof!

00:00:45.000 See?

00:00:46.000 I was really pointing at him.

00:00:47.000 You know what I read once?

00:00:50.000 I read that the reason people get allergies is because we have an immune system for viruses and stuff, but then you have one for parasites.

00:00:58.000 And because we don't get parasites anymore, it just goes haywire.

00:01:01.000 So I actually read, I don't know if this is true, maybe it's not, so don't do it.

00:01:05.000 I heard allergies are just for terrible humans.

00:01:07.000 No, I heard that if you infect yourself with worms for a couple weeks and then drink that like poison that kills them, it cures your allergies.

00:01:15.000 You should do that.

00:01:17.000 I read that on the internet, that means it's true.

00:01:19.000 It is true, yes.

00:01:21.000 So, uh, thanks for hanging out, everybody.

00:01:23.000 Hit that like button!

00:01:24.000 and smash that like button.

00:01:25.000 Yes.

00:01:26.000 I'm liking it.

00:01:26.000 I'm gonna do that right now.

00:01:27.000 Do it.

00:01:28.000 Boom.

00:01:29.000 Like.

00:01:30.000 Really, it helps, but subscribe.

00:01:31.000 I was the 177th like.

00:01:32.000 Oh, that's a lucky number.

00:01:33.000 177.

00:01:33.000 That's excellent.

00:01:34.000 So here's what I love about YouTube.

00:01:36.000 The first thing they ever did is like, you hit the like button, and it's a good thing.

00:01:39.000 Yeah.

00:01:40.000 Now they added the notification bell.

00:01:40.000 If you subscribe, you're good.

00:01:41.000 Now there's like, I don't know if they still do this, but you hit the notification bell,

00:01:44.000 and there's like a subcategory of like, do you always, they just keep making it more and more difficult

00:01:48.000 to actually say like, dude, just let me know when they post stuff.

00:01:51.000 But we actually did a segment on this the other day.

00:01:51.000 Yep.

00:01:54.000 YouTube admits they favor authoritative content that nobody likes.

00:01:58.000 Authoritative.

00:01:59.000 And this is funny because apparently YouTube staff complained.

00:02:03.000 They were like, hey, nobody's watching this stuff.

00:02:04.000 And they were like, so what?

00:02:06.000 Put it up anyway. 1.00

00:02:07.000 So dumb. 1.00

00:02:09.000 But I guess they do it. 1.00

00:02:10.000 Here's why they do it.

00:02:11.000 And this is relevant.

00:02:11.000 Trust me.

00:02:12.000 They do it because it would be smart if I press the record button.

00:02:15.000 Hey, yeah, let's do that.

00:02:18.000 Now here we go.

00:02:20.000 Welcome to the show, everybody.

00:02:21.000 So the reason YouTube props up these authoritative, I'm doing air quotes, sources is a shield because of these media companies that are constantly smearing and going after them.

00:02:31.000 So now they can be like, oh, but we give you special access.

00:02:34.000 We're doing everything right.

00:02:36.000 And then it's a detriment to their own independent creators.

00:02:39.000 They don't care. 0.98

00:02:40.000 They're just a bunch of circle jerkers. 0.99

00:02:42.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa. 0.82

00:02:43.000 There's kids listening.

00:02:44.000 Hey, I didn't swear.

00:02:45.000 No, but I didn't swear.

00:02:47.000 And that's what it seems like.

00:02:48.000 I got an email.

00:02:48.000 Mainstream media, a bunch of other people are just having a good time together.

00:02:53.000 I got an email.

00:02:55.000 Being really friendly with each other.

00:02:58.000 You know what I say?

00:02:59.000 It's like, you ever see the episode of Rick and Morty where all the Jerry's come out of that machine and they're all shaking each other's hands?

00:03:03.000 That's what it is.

00:03:03.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:03:04.000 Because I remember one time I said... Same thing.

00:03:06.000 Shaking each other's hands. 0.98

00:03:07.000 Now that you've already said Circle Jerk, I actually had someone email me and they were like, I was driving my kid back from school, listening to one of your podcasts, and then they turned to me and said, Dad, what's a circle jerk? 0.99

00:03:20.000 It's like, oh no! 0.76

00:03:23.000 I don't know if saying that makes this now an explicit podcast.

00:03:27.000 I think it might.

00:03:29.000 No way.

00:03:29.000 No!

00:03:30.000 It's just a circle, a bunch of jerks in a circle. 1.00

00:03:32.000 A circle of jerks. 1.00

00:03:33.000 That's what we're talking about. 1.00

00:03:33.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:03:34.000 That's all it is.

00:03:35.000 I don't know what the context you were thinking of was.

00:03:37.000 Yeah, I mean, I don't know. 1.00

00:03:38.000 But you've got a dirty mind. 0.99

00:03:40.000 That's not what we're talking about. 1.00

00:03:41.000 That also might be true.

00:03:42.000 Tell your kids this.

00:03:45.000 When they ask you what it is, say, think of all the people you hate and they're all standing in a big circle all laughing.

00:03:49.000 At each other, pointing at each other and laughing.

00:03:52.000 I mean, I gotta be honest.

00:03:54.000 That actually does describe these media companies.

00:03:56.000 It does, yeah.

00:03:56.000 Kind of, yeah.

00:03:57.000 You do. 1.00

00:03:57.000 It's a circle of jerks. 1.00

00:03:58.000 See, that's what I was thinking, yes. 0.99

00:04:00.000 That's what I was thinking as well.

00:04:01.000 Thank you, Tim.

00:04:02.000 Okay, thank you.

00:04:03.000 Appreciate it.

00:04:04.000 So, there's big news.

00:04:05.000 Big news.

00:04:05.000 Oh, good.

00:04:06.000 And it's bad news for news.

00:04:07.000 Oh, no.

00:04:08.000 Bad news news?

00:04:09.000 Are we news?

00:04:11.000 We're not.

00:04:12.000 Are we out technically?

00:04:14.000 Outskirt news?

00:04:15.000 Well, this is entertainment.

00:04:16.000 Entertainment?

00:04:17.000 This show is entertainment.

00:04:18.000 Oh, good.

00:04:19.000 All right.

00:04:19.000 Yeah.

00:04:20.000 Bad news for news industry.

00:04:23.000 They're collapsing.

00:04:25.000 It is flames, man.

00:04:28.000 I have a feeling it's not the mainstream media, though.

00:04:28.000 The boat is gone.

00:04:31.000 No, it is.

00:04:32.000 Oh, it is?

00:04:32.000 Yeah, it's nuts.

00:04:33.000 Oh, that must be the good news part of it. 0.97

00:04:36.000 This list is nuts.

00:04:37.000 Pull this list up.

00:04:37.000 Look at this.

00:04:38.000 Oh, my goodness.

00:04:39.000 Oh, my lanta.

00:04:40.000 Oh, it is fire.

00:04:41.000 Those are all different companies?

00:04:44.000 Wow.

00:04:45.000 It was a very long list.

00:04:46.000 For those who are just listening, we're scrolling through.

00:04:49.000 There we go.

00:04:49.000 Still scrolling.

00:04:49.000 Probably, I don't know, a hundred.

00:04:51.000 Two hundred?

00:04:52.000 More than that.

00:04:53.000 Two hundred different news companies.

00:04:53.000 Holy moly.

00:04:55.000 And this is not all of it.

00:04:57.000 Check this out.

00:04:57.000 I got more stories.

00:04:58.000 Wow, look at that.

00:04:59.000 Wall Street Journal says, this is from a few weeks ago, Vice Media document lays out plan for layoffs amid coronavirus pandemic.

00:05:07.000 Planning document calls for over 300 layoffs, though company says several such proposals are being worked up.

00:05:13.000 It is flames all the way down.

00:05:13.000 Wow.

00:05:15.000 How many people work at Vice?

00:05:18.000 I think a thousand.

00:05:19.000 Wow, that's not entirely sure.

00:05:21.000 Like 30% of the company.

00:05:23.000 It might be it might be way more than that because they've grown.

00:05:25.000 It's been a long time since I've been there.

00:05:26.000 Okay.

00:05:27.000 But yeah, the media has gone up in flames, man.

00:05:30.000 Yeah, I got a bunch.

00:05:31.000 So Vice is denying this, by the way.

00:05:33.000 Oh, really?

00:05:33.000 They're pushing back.

00:05:34.000 But the Wall Street Journal did include that saying that, you know, they're saying, hey, they're just being worked up.

00:05:39.000 But we've also got, what is this one?

00:05:41.000 BuzzFeed and Condé Nast are making more cuts after pay reductions aren't enough.

00:05:46.000 Now here's the crazy thing.

00:05:47.000 I did a segment earlier.

00:05:48.000 BuzzFeed just shut down news operations for two offices.

00:05:51.000 This might be what they're talking about.

00:05:53.000 But I think these companies were in trouble a long time ago.

00:05:59.000 There's the bird.

00:06:01.000 Now, apparently, according to the conversation, they say nine reasons you should be worried about the closure of BuzzFeed News in Australia.

00:06:07.000 I'm sorry.

00:06:09.000 That's a jolly laugh.

00:06:10.000 That is hilarious.

00:06:11.000 Nine reasons too many.

00:06:12.000 That is nine reasons too many.

00:06:15.000 Quartz is letting people off.

00:06:16.000 We got the story, digital media clobbered by coronavirus.

00:06:19.000 It's just clobbered.

00:06:21.000 I like that.

00:06:24.000 This is a huge list.

00:06:26.000 Before we get into gloating over the demise of a lot of these companies, the first thing I'll point out- I'm only gloating at a few of them.

00:06:26.000 It really is.

00:06:34.000 Right.

00:06:35.000 For the record.

00:06:36.000 That's a good point.

00:06:36.000 That's true.

00:06:37.000 We only want to gloat for a few of them.

00:06:38.000 Check this out.

00:06:40.000 A lot of these are just local newspapers, and it's kind of bad.

00:06:45.000 Local newspapers are alright.

00:06:46.000 They do an alright job, and most of them seem to be local papers, local outlets that are now suffering.

00:06:53.000 So as much as I want to laugh about NBCUniversal cutting executive pay by 20%, as if I care.

00:07:00.000 Univision layoffs, furloughs, and pay cuts, as if I care.

00:07:02.000 Digital media, oh, this is where it gets juicy.

00:07:05.000 BuzzFeed cut employee pay Cut AM to DM.

00:07:09.000 It's a morning news show.

00:07:09.000 Eight people lost their jobs and had furloughs of some staff.

00:07:13.000 Now, part of me wants to say I'm sorry to these individuals who lost their jobs.

00:07:19.000 But these outlets are just so awful. 0.99

00:07:22.000 And they put out garbage, fake news. 1.00

00:07:25.000 Look man, we can complain about BuzzFeed being biased. 0.99

00:07:29.000 And that's when they put out biased articles.

00:07:31.000 Like, if they write something on the culture war, politics, it's really bad.

00:07:34.000 But BuzzFeed wrote a story about two black men fighting to the death over fried chicken, which never happened.

00:07:34.000 Yeah.

00:07:40.000 And that was just like, yeah, it was total BS.

00:07:40.000 Oh yeah, that was BS, right?

00:07:43.000 And it seems very obvious that they were like, ooh, this will get clicks.

00:07:46.000 Yeah.

00:07:47.000 And they claim to be like, they write articles always in favor of these lefty politics and ideas.

00:07:52.000 And then when it's their chance to write some nonsensical rage bait that mocks, you know, the black community and stereotypes them, oh, they're the first ones to jump on board. 0.99

00:07:59.000 And I reached out to them and I was like, hey, this is not true.

00:08:01.000 Here's proof.

00:08:02.000 They were like, meh.

00:08:04.000 They sent me a link to like... So the witnesses said there was no fight over a chicken sandwich.

00:08:04.000 They didn't care.

00:08:09.000 It was basically the story was like two guys got into a fight, one guy got stabbed.

00:08:12.000 And then... It had absolutely nothing to do with the chicken sandwich.

00:08:12.000 Yeah.

00:08:15.000 Well it did in the sense that... They were both in line.

00:08:17.000 They were both at Popeyes.

00:08:18.000 And that's it.

00:08:19.000 And that, there you go.

00:08:20.000 And like... That's Popeyes though, not the chicken sandwich.

00:08:24.000 What if they both didn't like chicken in general?

00:08:26.000 They were like, man, we don't like chicken.

00:08:27.000 They wouldn't be at Popeye's, I guess.

00:08:28.000 Well, they got fish at Popeye's.

00:08:29.000 Hey, you never know.

00:08:30.000 But the gist of it was, BuzzFeed said in the headline that it was a fight over a chicken sandwich.

00:08:36.000 Nobody had a chicken sandwich.

00:08:38.000 Nobody had ordered one.

00:08:39.000 A dude cut in line.

00:08:40.000 The other dude was like, hey, don't cut in line. 0.95

00:08:41.000 And the guy was like, F you.

00:08:42.000 And he was like, take it outside. 0.96

00:08:44.000 Guy got stabbed.

00:08:44.000 That was it.

00:08:45.000 It was a fight over cutting in line.

00:08:47.000 And the dude's family was pissed because he was like, he's like, ain't nobody died over a chicken sandwich.

00:08:52.000 This is BS.

00:08:52.000 The media is lying.

00:08:53.000 And so I saw what Buzzfeed did and I'm like, dude, that's not cool.

00:08:53.000 Yeah.

00:08:56.000 And when I reached out to them, the response I got back was a quote from a cop saying something like, we think that people were at Popeye's because of the chicken sandwich.

00:09:05.000 And I was like, that says nothing about these two men and their fight.

00:09:05.000 Right.

00:09:08.000 Right.

00:09:09.000 And that was it.

00:09:10.000 I honestly, when I first heard this story, I didn't think it was true.

00:09:13.000 I thought it was a, like a PR stunt from Popeye's trying to sell the chicken sandwich.

00:09:17.000 No joke.

00:09:18.000 I think you're right.

00:09:19.000 Really?

00:09:19.000 Yeah, I agree.

00:09:19.000 Like, no one actually died?

00:09:21.000 Or they spun it?

00:09:22.000 They were like, we should use this.

00:09:22.000 No, no, no.

00:09:25.000 Gross. 0.93

00:09:25.000 Yes. 0.93

00:09:25.000 Oh. 0.93

00:09:25.000 So where did the narrative emerge that these guys were fighting over a chicken sandwich? 0.93

00:09:28.000 Right.

00:09:29.000 So apparently, like, I think Popeye's put out a statement.

00:09:31.000 Uh-huh.

00:09:32.000 I could be wrong.

00:09:32.000 And they were like, we're so sorry, blah, blah, blah, the chickens.

00:09:35.000 I think they were like, lean into it.

00:09:36.000 We didn't mean to make the chicken sandwich that good.

00:09:39.000 It's like, wait a minute, what?

00:09:40.000 What did you just say?

00:09:42.000 But in all seriousness, actually, could you look this up?

00:09:45.000 I think they did make a statement about it.

00:09:46.000 The statement they made?

00:09:47.000 And I think, if I was gonna make a bet, I gotta be very careful because, you know, we live in a litigious country. 1.00

00:09:53.000 I'd be willing to bet that their PR person heard the story and was like, do it, do it, pull the trigger, pull the trigger.

00:09:58.000 No one should fight over these chicken sandwiches.

00:10:00.000 It's not like they would ever say that, though, in the statement.

00:10:00.000 Wink.

00:10:04.000 No, they would say something like that, like, it's terrible that, you know, at the release of our new chicken sandwich, a fight broke out, and something like that, you know what I mean?

00:10:14.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:10:14.000 I can't remember exactly what happened with it, but I'd be willing to bet that's where the narrative came from.

00:10:19.000 So when I look at, like, BuzzFeed cutting employee pay, they're shutting down their Australian news division and UK, I'm sorry, man, I'm not gonna cry.

00:10:29.000 And how about Vox?

00:10:30.000 I know you're not... Oh, look at this!

00:10:32.000 Yeah, where's Vox? 0.99

00:10:33.000 Vox furloughed more than 100 people for three months.

00:10:37.000 You know what?

00:10:38.000 That's a good amount of people.

00:10:39.000 I... Seeing all this?

00:10:41.000 Yeah.

00:10:42.000 I almost want to cry.

00:10:44.000 Tears of joy?

00:10:45.000 Happiness?

00:10:48.000 you know because of the one way i think slain what's going on with uh... with

00:10:51.000 that digital media is that it's like you have this gigantic machine funded by

00:10:55.000 venture capital and i am but one person on youtube

00:10:59.000 desperately trying to like fight back against all of the lies in the smears

00:11:02.000 the fake news and it's like a knock on a skyscraper with a ball peen

00:11:06.000 hammer you just like you got away at it and then while you're

00:11:09.000 doing it they're building more now it's like ultimately is never get

00:11:12.000 anything done well you saw shoshank right

00:11:14.000 he escaped with the you know to come along i think i think i don't know how to knock it

00:11:18.000 down bobby i was the same kind of thing so

00:11:20.000 being at the starting project i don't want these people to lose their jobs

00:11:24.000 Yeah.

00:11:25.000 Right?

00:11:25.000 But I do want the whole system to be reformed.

00:11:28.000 Incredible.

00:11:29.000 And to get back.

00:11:30.000 There's a really funny viral video going around right now.

00:11:32.000 Some dude, I can't remember where he was, I don't know, some local journalist was walking around a protest.

00:11:36.000 Oh, it's Long Island.

00:11:37.000 Yeah, we were watching this video.

00:11:38.000 And this guy is being yelled at by Trump supporters.

00:11:38.000 Right.

00:11:40.000 They're like, you're fake news, you're fake news.

00:11:43.000 And he's filming it. 0.98

00:11:44.000 And then it's like such the, it's the most pathetic, Like, mission-driven BS news reporting. 0.92

00:11:52.000 He's like, I'll never forget what happened to me this day. 0.90

00:11:55.000 Hounded and harassed.

00:11:56.000 And I was just trying to tell their story.

00:11:58.000 Harumph, I say.

00:11:59.000 Harumph! 1.00

00:12:00.000 Dude.

00:12:01.000 Man, that was funny.

00:12:02.000 They weren't even being mean.

00:12:03.000 They were just kind of, they were just talking, calling him out.

00:12:06.000 Yeah.

00:12:07.000 It's funny because I've been at protests where I've been physically attacked and they're throwing explosives and smoke bombs.

00:12:13.000 And the media defended Antifa.

00:12:13.000 Okay.

00:12:15.000 They were like, but they're fighting fascists.

00:12:17.000 It's like, yes, when they beat journalists, they're fighting fascists.

00:12:19.000 Thanks.

00:12:19.000 Right.

00:12:19.000 Great.

00:12:20.000 Sure.

00:12:20.000 And so now that you're seeing conservatives go, you're fake news.

00:12:24.000 They're like, oh, oh, oh, no, somebody, somebody insulted me.

00:12:26.000 What do I do?

00:12:27.000 Oh, my stars and guys.

00:12:28.000 Where's my group that support me?

00:12:31.000 There's an amazing, amazing photograph of Jim Acosta of CNN with this look on his face like.

00:12:36.000 And there's someone flicking him off.

00:12:38.000 Awesome.

00:12:39.000 He's looking at it like, ugh!

00:12:40.000 How dare you! 0.99

00:12:41.000 Oh no!

00:12:41.000 Harumph!

00:12:42.000 Harumph! 1.00

00:12:43.000 I work for CNN!

00:12:44.000 I argue with Donald Trump!

00:12:46.000 You can't be mean to me!

00:12:48.000 So, I see this guy, right?

00:12:51.000 Okay.

00:12:52.000 And he's claiming that, you know, oh, I was attacked and berated and harassed and I was simply trying to tell their story.

00:12:58.000 And then he adds a line where he's like, these are people who weren't even wearing masks during a pandemic.

00:13:02.000 And I'm like, there it is!

00:13:03.000 There it is!

00:13:04.000 Yep! 0.80

00:13:05.000 This guy came down and he was like, I'm just here to tell your story.

00:13:09.000 And then he jumped the chance to be like, oh no, they're attacking me and they won't even wear masks.

00:13:13.000 Like, dude, I can see what you're doing, man.

00:13:16.000 You're not there to tell their story.

00:13:17.000 You were looking for the conflict so you could play the victim.

00:13:21.000 And you know what?

00:13:22.000 I know you want to be like Jim Acosta, but you'll never be in the big leagues, bro.

00:13:27.000 Jim Acosta is like the Michael Jordan of fake news.

00:13:30.000 You know what I mean?

00:13:31.000 Is he?

00:13:31.000 Yeah, dude.

00:13:32.000 I'm almost offended that you would use Michael Jordan's name in that sense.

00:13:34.000 That's a good point.

00:13:35.000 That's not fair.

00:13:36.000 I grew up in Chicago.

00:13:37.000 You did too.

00:13:37.000 How dare you?

00:13:38.000 That's not fair to Michael Jordan.

00:13:39.000 How dare you?

00:13:40.000 But it was a testament to Michael Jordan's greatness.

00:13:42.000 You know what I mean?

00:13:43.000 Sure.

00:13:43.000 Up to your cringe, Jim Acosta.

00:13:46.000 Who's someone infamous for doing something awful but well?

00:13:49.000 Bill Cosby.

00:13:53.000 Jim Acosta is the Bill Cosby of fake news.

00:13:56.000 Why would you go there?

00:13:58.000 I don't know!

00:13:58.000 You're welcome.

00:14:00.000 That's it.

00:14:03.000 That's my last contribution.

00:14:05.000 So so no, but look, Jim Acosta goes to these press events with Trump.

00:14:09.000 And then he'll be like, he'll have like this big thing drawn up where he'll start talking.

00:14:13.000 And then when Trump is like, thank you, he'll keep talking.

00:14:16.000 Like next, please.

00:14:17.000 And he'll keep talking.

00:14:18.000 And you see this with other CNN reporters to where they argue with the president. 0.98

00:14:22.000 Yeah, ridiculous. 0.79

00:14:23.000 Like, did you see that one recently where that Chinese, there's a reporter, she's from CBS, but she is Chinese. 0.98

00:14:29.000 Yeah.

00:14:30.000 She asked Trump, you know, like, why are you trying to make this a competition?

00:14:33.000 Trump got offended, like, that she asked, you know, it's a loaded question.

00:14:37.000 It's like, it's like asking, you know, when did you stop beating your wife?

00:14:40.000 So it's like, why are you treating us a competition?

00:14:42.000 It's like, I'm not.

00:14:43.000 But so Trump was like, why don't you ask China?

00:14:45.000 And then she goes, and she pulls her mask up and goes, why did you ask me that?

00:14:49.000 That's like, what?

00:14:51.000 You're pretending to be angry about this.

00:14:53.000 He's literally said that before.

00:14:54.000 I know.

00:14:55.000 It's like you're talking about why I'm making it a competition with China, right? 0.99

00:14:59.000 That's what the question was about?

00:15:01.000 Global competition.

00:15:02.000 And so I think Trump was making a point when he said, why don't you ask China?

00:15:02.000 Oh, OK.

00:15:05.000 Because China's lying about their numbers.

00:15:06.000 Right.

00:15:07.000 So his point was, I'm not.

00:15:09.000 They're the ones lying about their numbers.

00:15:10.000 Why don't you go ask them?

00:15:11.000 But because she was Chinese, then Brian Stelter of CNN is like, it is racist.

00:15:11.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:15:15.000 But anyway, I bring it up because it's a really, really good example of like, Asking a loaded question that there's no real answer to.

00:15:22.000 Yep.

00:15:22.000 Like, what are you supposed to say to that?

00:15:23.000 Just to get a reaction.

00:15:24.000 Like, Adam, when did you stop beating your wife?

00:15:27.000 Well, I started shaving when I was 18.

00:15:30.000 What kind of question is that?

00:15:32.000 You know what I mean?

00:15:33.000 And that's the go-to explanation of what a loaded question is.

00:15:35.000 And so Trump gets mad about it.

00:15:37.000 And then, shaving?

00:15:41.000 Are you making a reference to my lack of facial hair for being Asian? 1.00

00:15:44.000 You're racist! 0.99

00:15:45.000 Actually. 0.99

00:15:46.000 And I argue with you.

00:15:47.000 Yeah, it's funny.

00:15:48.000 People tweet at me, like, Tim can't grow a beard.

00:15:50.000 I'm like, yeah, I know.

00:15:51.000 I mean, it's there.

00:15:52.000 It's 100% there.

00:15:53.000 I have a scraggly beard.

00:15:55.000 I know, you bigots.

00:15:57.000 I actually, I did a little grooming today.

00:15:59.000 I say I don't groom.

00:16:00.000 Normally I'd get rid of it, but I was thinking, maybe I'll grow a beard.

00:16:03.000 But it was like getting a little long and annoying.

00:16:05.000 Right over the lip.

00:16:06.000 Yeah, I had to get a little, trim a little bit there.

00:16:09.000 That's right.

00:16:10.000 So anyway, it's like this guy who goes on a long island at this Trump event or whatever.

00:16:15.000 It's, it's, it's, it's, he was inspired, you know, by Jim Acosta.

00:16:18.000 Yeah.

00:16:19.000 But Jim Acosta, man, he created the sport.

00:16:21.000 It's like, here's what you do.

00:16:22.000 You go to the press briefing, you insult the president, and then you argue with him.

00:16:26.000 And then all of the resistance people start wiggling their arms and they're going, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:30.000 Like that.

00:16:30.000 Like goblins.

00:16:31.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:16:31.000 Like the turkeys.

00:16:33.000 Turkeys.

00:16:34.000 You ever see that video where the guy's in the car and there's all the turkeys in the pen?

00:16:38.000 And he goes, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:39.000 And then all the turkeys yell back, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:41.000 No, that sounds amazing.

00:16:42.000 I want it.

00:16:43.000 I have to look that up.

00:16:44.000 He's laughing so hard he's crying.

00:16:46.000 And then he goes, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:47.000 And then the turkeys all gobble back.

00:16:49.000 That's what it is.

00:16:51.000 So like, Jim Acosta is the dude in the car gobbling, and all of the resistance anti-Trump people are the turkeys gobbling back.

00:16:57.000 And it's like, hey man, each one of those gobbles, he then goes to an advertiser and says, hey man, I can make 100 turkeys gobble.

00:17:02.000 How much are you going to pay me?

00:17:04.000 And they do.

00:17:04.000 And then he writes a book and then he sells the turkeys books.

00:17:06.000 But you get the reference, you get the analogy.

00:17:09.000 So this guy shows up, he tries pulling this off.

00:17:11.000 And these journalists feign outrage, like, but we're just trying to tell your story!

00:17:15.000 And then they're lying.

00:17:17.000 And this is what we get.

00:17:17.000 So let's take a look at some of these outlets that are getting purged.

00:17:21.000 We got BuzzFeed, VT Digger, a non-profit digital news site in Vermont.

00:17:26.000 First three layoffs.

00:17:27.000 I'm not going to drag them.

00:17:27.000 I don't know who they are.

00:17:29.000 Vice cut some pay and stopped 401k matching and promotions.

00:17:32.000 Oof.

00:17:33.000 What does that mean?

00:17:34.000 Matching?

00:17:35.000 So they stopped, they stopped like helping their employees into their 401k basically?

00:17:39.000 Yeah, they match your contribution.

00:17:40.000 Yeah.

00:17:41.000 So if you, if you, yeah, if you put in money, they'll, they'll put in equal amounts of a perk.

00:17:45.000 The outline laid off its staff.

00:17:47.000 Wait, laid off all of them?

00:17:49.000 Goodbye outline.

00:17:50.000 Is that literally every single?

00:17:50.000 Never heard of it.

00:17:53.000 The outline, an attempt to build a bolder kind of news website, appears to have met its end.

00:17:57.000 Wait, go back up, go back up.

00:17:58.000 It's not for everyone, it's for you.

00:18:00.000 Well, that's not a big enough audience.

00:18:02.000 They're not talking to their employees.

00:18:04.000 Yeah, one audience member isn't enough to sustain the company, I'm sorry.

00:18:07.000 Unless the one audience member is Elon Musk and he's paying a subscription of $100,000 a month or something.

00:18:14.000 So what else do we have?

00:18:15.000 We have Bustle Digital Group laid off two dozen staffers.

00:18:17.000 Oh, cry me a river.

00:18:20.000 What is Bustle?

00:18:21.000 They're a ladies thingy. Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's right. What do we got? Elite Daily, Inverse,

00:18:26.000 Mike, Nylon, The Outline. Oh, Mike. Oh, The Outline's gone though. Oh no, the Zoe report.

00:18:31.000 Oh my gosh. I have no idea what that is. What will I do without them? I'm pretty sure all of these

00:18:35.000 people, like they're mostly friends with each other. And I know this because I worked for Vice.

00:18:38.000 I worked for some of these companies and they hang out with each other. Okay.

00:18:41.000 And they're all probably, like, sitting around complaining and smack-talking.

00:18:45.000 They're about us, for calling them out like I care.

00:18:47.000 I'm sure, yeah.

00:18:48.000 Bring it on.

00:18:49.000 GeoMedia, which includes Jezebel, Deadspin, The Root, and The Onion, laid off 14 employees.

00:18:54.000 14, oh.

00:18:55.000 Group 9, 7% of its staff.

00:18:58.000 They're the Dodo, Thrillist, and NowThis.

00:19:00.000 Ooh, NowThis!

00:19:01.000 That makes me feel good.

00:19:04.000 I don't know most of these.

00:19:05.000 NowThis is fake news.

00:19:07.000 They create viral rage bait for Facebook, or they used to, and it would be super loaded statements.

00:19:15.000 At VidCon several years ago, the president on stage said they had partnered with anti-Trump activists at the highest level for producing content or something.

00:19:23.000 I filmed it.

00:19:24.000 I was like, wow, that's a bold statement for the president of a venture capital-backed news outlet to say straight up, we're anti-Trump activists.

00:19:24.000 I published it.

00:19:32.000 They direct our content.

00:19:34.000 Wow.

00:19:34.000 So, sad to see you go.

00:19:37.000 The Hill was implementing pay cuts.

00:19:39.000 Now that's sad.

00:19:40.000 I don't like that, yeah.

00:19:40.000 The Hill is good.

00:19:41.000 The Hill is very good.

00:19:42.000 Oh, okay.

00:19:42.000 Yeah, The Hill is very good.

00:19:44.000 Altus, i24, and Cheddar, I don't care about them.

00:19:46.000 They're fine.

00:19:47.000 They talk about, you know, pop culture stuff or whatever.

00:19:49.000 Vox furloughed more than 100 people for three months.

00:19:52.000 Aw.

00:19:53.000 Yeah, that I'm okay with.

00:19:55.000 Protocol had laughs, I don't know them.

00:19:56.000 The Skim, Insider, Louisville, and Curbed Atlanta.

00:19:58.000 Not sure who they are.

00:19:59.000 Well look, Curbed Atlanta said it's a Vox Media newsroom.

00:20:02.000 Oh, let him go.

00:20:03.000 Get him out.

00:20:04.000 We'll stop publishing for three months.

00:20:06.000 And its editor was furloughed.

00:20:08.000 Get him out.

00:20:09.000 And Quartz, they laid off, Quartz laid off 80 people.

00:20:09.000 Bye Vox.

00:20:13.000 Yeah.

00:20:14.000 Yeah, Quartz isn't that bad.

00:20:15.000 I don't know Quartz.

00:20:16.000 It's just digital media.

00:20:18.000 So let's see, magazines.

00:20:20.000 Ooh, they have an update.

00:20:21.000 So apparently they keep adding stuff.

00:20:23.000 Condé Nast?

00:20:24.000 Wow, I have no problem with that.

00:20:26.000 That's huge.

00:20:26.000 I don't know what some of these other things are.

00:20:28.000 Time Out?

00:20:28.000 I don't care about that.

00:20:29.000 You know, I'll be honest, man.

00:20:30.000 A lot of these cuts, they're bummers.

00:20:34.000 It's sad to see local news outlets taking hits.

00:20:37.000 Local papers aren't that bad.

00:20:39.000 We need local journalism because...

00:20:41.000 When you've got, you know, a town like, you know, I don't know, Podunk or Bumpkinville.

00:20:46.000 Bumpkinville.

00:20:46.000 Yeah, Bumpkinville.

00:20:47.000 Sounds like a fun place.

00:20:48.000 The Bumpkinville Gazette, or the Bumpkinville Bugle, writes about the mayor and... Every time you say that.

00:20:54.000 Bumpkinville.

00:20:55.000 I love it so much.

00:20:56.000 I don't know why.

00:20:57.000 I want to move there.

00:20:58.000 I can't stop giggling.

00:21:00.000 Bumpkinville.

00:21:01.000 Bugle, yes.

00:21:02.000 The Bumpkinville Bugle.

00:21:04.000 Covers issues of, like, the mayor and stuff.

00:21:06.000 And you're not gonna get that from the New York Times.

00:21:08.000 The New York Times won't write about, you know, the mayor of a town of a thousand, you know, called Bumpkinville.

00:21:13.000 But the Bugle will.

00:21:14.000 So if you live there, it's important you learn about these things.

00:21:17.000 So when local outlets start taking hits and laying people off, that's when it gets bad.

00:21:20.000 One of the scariest things that came up in the digital age, you know, ten years ago, was as these local outlets started going away, local corruption started going up.

00:21:31.000 Because if you've got a city councilman or whatever who's stealing money...

00:21:35.000 A local journalist would typically be like, I'm investigating this, ha ha, I've uncovered it.

00:21:38.000 Yeah.

00:21:38.000 Cops don't, you know, they're not gonna investigate this.

00:21:40.000 The feds aren't gonna come in.

00:21:41.000 It's the public access information gathering intelligence.

00:21:45.000 But now that everyone's drifting towards, you know, like national, international level conversation in politics, nobody's covering local news anymore.

00:21:54.000 Except for the local outlets do.

00:21:56.000 That's why it's sad to see them start taking these hits.

00:21:58.000 Yeah, they're important.

00:21:59.000 But one of the big problems is that One of the reasons they're taking hits is because they're

00:22:03.000 being displaced by BuzzFeed, by Vox, by Huffington Post. Because these local outlets

00:22:09.000 need to find a way to become relevant and to make money, but traffic is essentially stolen by

00:22:15.000 bigger news outlets.

00:22:17.000 It's like, you know.

00:22:17.000 Makes sense.

00:22:18.000 Especially if a certain tube is pushing them on everybody.

00:22:24.000 Yeah, talking about you, tube.

00:22:26.000 You know, I do think about how local affiliates are really, really bad at using social media.

00:22:33.000 Okay.

00:22:33.000 And why isn't a local news outlet making a YouTube channel and generating traffic and stuff like that?

00:22:42.000 There is a challenge, right?

00:22:44.000 If you were in a town of a thousand people, you would make money by advertising local services.

00:22:49.000 But now these people just buy the ads straight on Google and Facebook.

00:22:53.000 So now Google and Facebook are sucking all that money out of these smaller towns, and then the local papers have no advertising.

00:22:59.000 Yeah.

00:23:00.000 they go under. Who gets the paper anymore? Yeah, I mean, old people. 1.00

00:23:04.000 Yep, old people. I think it's funny too, because like, there's gonna come a point where people 1.00

00:23:09.000 are gonna be arguing, you know, saying something similar to us, like, you get your news from

00:23:12.000 the internet, like, and they're gonna be getting it in some other way or something. Maybe,

00:23:15.000 yeah. I don't know. Straight from their Neuralink. Yeah, their Neuralink. Yeah, they're gonna

00:23:20.000 have a feed constantly just knowing everything.

00:23:23.000 I mean, maybe in a hundred years.

00:23:25.000 But I think we do get set in our ways, like every person does.

00:23:28.000 We get used to the platforms we use.

00:23:30.000 Young people start using different platforms.

00:23:32.000 And who knows what news is gonna be like.

00:23:33.000 Could you imagine, like, TikTok news?

00:23:35.000 Where it's, like, some 17-year-old girl dancing to, like, Tears for Fears while holding up, like, a paper and it says, like, you know, Trump impeached.

00:23:35.000 No.

00:23:43.000 And, like, that's the news in the future.

00:23:44.000 I don't know, man.

00:23:45.000 Who knows what it's going to be like.

00:23:47.000 Now that sounds like she's from Bumpkinville.

00:23:49.000 Yeah, sure does.

00:23:50.000 No, that sounds like... When you look at a lot of these companies and how they manipulated Facebook to get those links, they didn't care about news that actually mattered.

00:23:59.000 They care about stories that will get the most shares.

00:24:02.000 And so that's what drives Facebook right now.

00:24:02.000 Right.

00:24:05.000 You know, one thing I see here.

00:24:06.000 Go ahead.

00:24:07.000 Give me the article.

00:24:08.000 Which one says NBC Universal is cutting executive pay by 20 percent.

00:24:12.000 See like that.

00:24:14.000 Why aren't we seeing more of that all across the board here?

00:24:17.000 Like cutting executive pay?

00:24:19.000 They don't they make way too much money.

00:24:20.000 They don't want to cut their pay, dude. 0.87

00:24:22.000 I know.

00:24:22.000 Yeah.

00:24:23.000 But that solves a lot of issues.

00:24:25.000 It could, doesn't it?

00:24:26.000 I mean, we got we got problems with the lockdown as it is.

00:24:29.000 And that's the next segment we're going to be talking about.

00:24:31.000 The lockdown is busted.

00:24:33.000 Yeah.

00:24:33.000 And we got we got some data for that.

00:24:35.000 But, look man, people get a bailout, these big corporations.

00:24:39.000 Golden parachutes for the executives.

00:24:41.000 Exactly.

00:24:43.000 We're safe, everybody.

00:24:44.000 Everyone's gonna get an emergency paycheck.

00:24:47.000 But after two weeks, you're in trouble.

00:24:48.000 Bob, on the other hand, we got a $10 million bonus, buddy, and the parachute is made of pure gold.

00:24:52.000 And then he falls to his death.

00:24:55.000 Don't use this, by the way.

00:24:56.000 Don't use that gold parachute.

00:24:57.000 It's just to sell later on.

00:24:57.000 It's just to show off.

00:25:00.000 Don't actually try it.

00:25:01.000 You'll drop like a rock.

00:25:02.000 It'll actually make you fall faster.

00:25:03.000 Yeah, it'll speed things up.

00:25:04.000 Well, it won't, actually.

00:25:05.000 It's not how gravity works, but, you know.

00:25:08.000 So, I don't know, man.

00:25:10.000 A lot of businesses are going under, and while I want to say it's really bad, nah, it is really bad.

00:25:18.000 Yeah, it seems really bad.

00:25:19.000 No, because even though I don't like these people, it's a major disruption to the economy, but I wonder if there will be an improvement, because I want to equate some of these news outlets to a thing that slowly starts growing and absorbing nutrients and resources from the body until it becomes a weighted detriment.

00:25:39.000 I got this.

00:25:40.000 I got this.

00:25:40.000 Cancer.

00:25:41.000 Oh, I didn't say it.

00:25:43.000 Adam, wow, that was a guess.

00:25:44.000 That was a guess.

00:25:45.000 I was just guessing.

00:25:46.000 I was just guessing what you were thinking.

00:25:49.000 Was I right?

00:25:50.000 Yes.

00:25:51.000 These outlets are siphoning away resources, exploiting the system, producing garbage information that's making people go insane, and it's a detriment on the minds, the psyche, and the culture of our country.

00:26:02.000 My next guess was tapeworm.

00:26:04.000 So you know what I was thinking, right?

00:26:06.000 Think about what's going on with the economy.

00:26:08.000 And I mentioned this earlier in one of my videos.

00:26:11.000 It's like we were poisoned.

00:26:13.000 And the poison, the lockdown, is killing large portions of the body, but not totally killing the body itself, right?

00:26:21.000 Almost like chemo.

00:26:22.000 Yeah, I was gonna say like radiation.

00:26:23.000 Purging a lot of unnecessary BS.

00:26:26.000 Layoffs at all these companies.

00:26:28.000 Only essential functions.

00:26:30.000 And then maybe one... I know that everything ultimately is bad.

00:26:34.000 Yeah.

00:26:35.000 But there could be one benefit that in the end more essential businesses rise up and we get rid of a lot of this non-essential wasted space that was actually causing us problems and hurting us.

00:26:45.000 Hmm.

00:26:46.000 So that's a maybe.

00:26:46.000 Okay.

00:26:47.000 Yeah, I don't know for sure.

00:26:48.000 I can see it.

00:26:49.000 I can see the parallels.

00:26:50.000 Yeah, but how about this?

00:26:51.000 Let's talk about what's going on with the lockdown.

00:26:55.000 And I have this tweet from Brett Weinstein.

00:26:59.000 So for those that aren't familiar with Brett, he is a professor in exile.

00:27:02.000 Evolutionary trade-offs, telomeres, senescence, and cancer.

00:27:06.000 The Dark Horse podcast.

00:27:08.000 Brett is a smart fella.

00:27:09.000 And he has this tweet.

00:27:11.000 It is insane that as the evidence for vitamin D protective effect mounts, and though it appears the virus is very rarely transmitted outdoors, we continue to instruct people to stay indoors where COV-2 is easily transmitted and where they can't make vitamin D. And he's linking this tweet to Joe Rogan.

00:27:29.000 It says, vitamin D may reduce susceptibility to COVID-19 associated lung injury.

00:27:34.000 Hold on, do you think all those people that were suntanning their bums are like, yeah, that's right.

00:27:40.000 We are so, we are so protected against COVID.

00:27:44.000 Think about what this, well, let's think about this for a second.

00:27:46.000 You know what I'm talking about?

00:27:47.000 I know, unfortunately.

00:27:50.000 Yeah, the bum tanning.

00:27:50.000 The bum tanning.

00:27:51.000 Yeah, oh my goodness.

00:27:53.000 The people bum tanning aren't thinking about anything.

00:27:55.000 No, you don't think so?

00:27:56.000 They're not thinking about this.

00:27:57.000 Maybe.

00:27:58.000 They didn't read the article about vitamin D. Maybe they're like, I'm just trying to get my vitamin D in, man.

00:28:02.000 Sure!

00:28:03.000 But think about what's going on right now.

00:28:04.000 I'm having fun today.

00:28:06.000 Think about what's going on with the lockdowns.

00:28:08.000 Economic collapse.

00:28:09.000 Yep.

00:28:09.000 California's, Los Angeles says we're gonna send it for three months or until we have a cure.

00:28:14.000 Crazy.

00:28:14.000 The Supreme Court of Wisconsin struck down the extension and almost immediately all the bars popped open and were flooded.

00:28:21.000 People shoulder-to-shoulder, partying, drinking, like, woo!

00:28:21.000 I'm sure.

00:28:24.000 Freedom!

00:28:25.000 Yeah.

00:28:25.000 Mm-hmm.

00:28:25.000 Yeah.

00:28:27.000 One of the things that we've talked about, and a lot of the data we've seen, first of all, the mortality rate's a lot lower than we thought.

00:28:34.000 The infection rate is high relative to other, you know, illnesses, so this is still dangerous, and you gotta pay attention.

00:28:40.000 Be safe!

00:28:41.000 That's the easiest way to put it.

00:28:44.000 We can't sustain this lockdown, and even now, like the Los Angeles Times and other outlets are pointing out, the poor will suffer from this.

00:28:51.000 So finally they're getting on board.

00:28:54.000 We're still seeing this weird split where, you know, there's red states and blue states.

00:28:57.000 But this is the crazy thing.

00:28:59.000 The data has shown us that you're more likely to get this if you're indoors, staying home.

00:29:05.000 66% of people who've contracted it during the lockdown were staying at home.

00:29:08.000 Because going outside is good, sunlight is good, and you're less likely to touch the same things if you're out in the open.

00:29:14.000 Makes sense.

00:29:15.000 As opposed to being in the house.

00:29:16.000 And getting all that vitamin D. And getting all that vitamin D. So who is going to be most negatively impacted by this?

00:29:23.000 Older people, susceptible people, yeah.

00:29:25.000 City folk, yeah.

00:29:26.000 City folk who are in their cubicle-like box apartments with very little sunlight, generating that vitamin D deficiency, because many of them are probably eating trash they just order, right?

00:29:38.000 They're not thinking like, well, maybe that's not fair to say, because I'm sure they're eating similarly to it.

00:29:43.000 No, I wonder.

00:29:43.000 No?

00:29:44.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:29:45.000 I read an article earlier about how basically the really rich can afford staying in and are alright with it, and the really poor are staying in.

00:29:55.000 So like the middle class are going out and about.

00:29:58.000 But does the really rich include, like, how did they break that down?

00:30:04.000 Is it saying, like, by income?

00:30:07.000 I was gonna bring it up, but it was really, really long, and it was riddled with stories of stuff that made no sense to the article, so I was like, nah.

00:30:16.000 If they did a general like income bracket, then New Yorkers have substantially higher income.

00:30:23.000 So they can't afford, many of them, to stay inside and not have vitamin D and then get sick.

00:30:29.000 And you've got poor middle Americans go out on the porch. 1.00

00:30:33.000 That's what those two doctors in California were talking about.

00:30:36.000 They're basically saying if we stay inside, we're losing our natural immune system that we build constantly.

00:30:42.000 They were talking about the human body has viruses on it all the time, non-stop, always.

00:30:47.000 We're always fighting off bacteria and infections constantly.

00:30:51.000 So if we stay inside and we don't get sun, then our immune systems are just going to go away.

00:30:56.000 So the next time we go out, if we actually do get the COVID, whatever, you're going to get hit.

00:31:02.000 10 times as hard because you have no immune system anymore.

00:31:06.000 I don't know enough about how immune systems work.

00:31:08.000 Well, that's what their whole video is about.

00:31:10.000 They were talking about that.

00:31:11.000 And then it got taken down.

00:31:14.000 It kept getting taken down.

00:31:16.000 And I'm pretty sure it's still being taken down.

00:31:19.000 To make the throwback point, forgive me if I'm not going to complain about BuzzFeed, which is trying to get videos banned.

00:31:26.000 Not that I'm a fan of Plandemic or any of these other videos, but we need to have a discussion about whether or not we should or shouldn't reopen.

00:31:32.000 Now, here's where it gets really, really funny.

00:31:34.000 I wonder if YouTube will ban us for talking about how the lockdown needs to be lifted.

00:31:39.000 You think they would?

00:31:41.000 So they've gone after channels who have been like, you know, the lockdown is BS, don't wear masks, things like that.

00:31:45.000 Yeah.

00:31:46.000 But Wisconsin just ruled it unconstitutional.

00:31:48.000 Hold on.

00:31:49.000 Boku is sitting on that really expensive instrument.

00:31:52.000 Oh, is he?

00:31:53.000 Kitty break! 0.98

00:31:54.000 Yay! 0.99

00:31:55.000 There's a cat causing troubles.

00:31:57.000 What's new?

00:31:58.000 What was he sitting on?

00:32:00.000 Oh, that sounds like something a cat would do.

00:32:02.000 Looking for ways to destroy it.

00:32:05.000 That was very expensive.

00:32:07.000 Well, now we're talking about cats, I don't even know what we're talking about.

00:32:10.000 I'm sorry, I didn't want anything to happen to that.

00:32:13.000 We were talking about the lockdown.

00:32:14.000 It's a really important instrument.

00:32:16.000 And vitamins!

00:32:18.000 Are we gonna get banned for talking about the lockdown?

00:32:20.000 Oh yeah, sorry.

00:32:21.000 What am I supposed to say right now when Wisconsin says you can't lock down?

00:32:26.000 Michigan says you have to lock down.

00:32:30.000 Which is it?

00:32:32.000 Is YouTube going to ban me?

00:32:34.000 Which one do I get banned for now?

00:32:35.000 I have no idea.

00:32:36.000 The World Health Organization praised Sweden that didn't lock down.

00:32:40.000 was like, everybody gotta lock down.

00:32:40.000 But then the U.S.

00:32:42.000 So I don't know what I can or can't say.

00:32:43.000 I have no idea.

00:32:44.000 And not all of the U.S.

00:32:45.000 Some states were like, we're not locking down.

00:32:47.000 Yeah, some states are opening up again.

00:32:48.000 And they're fine.

00:32:48.000 This is the funniest thing when it comes to the election.

00:32:52.000 Do these anti-Trump people think that the Americans will blame Donald Trump for their governor locking their state down?

00:33:01.000 The Dem states are just trying to like hold it off as long as possible.

00:33:04.000 So maybe they can just win something sneakily. 1.00

00:33:07.000 Do you think people are that stupid though? 1.00

00:33:09.000 That's something Trump said. 1.00

00:33:10.000 Maybe.

00:33:11.000 Honestly, I think so.

00:33:12.000 What did Trump said?

00:33:13.000 Yeah, so Trump said he thinks that they are trying to keep it the economy shut down until the election.

00:33:20.000 And I was like, holy cow, can that be right?

00:33:22.000 And then the more I thought about it, the more I was like, Maybe.

00:33:25.000 The economy was doing really, really well.

00:33:27.000 That's what I was alluding to.

00:33:28.000 But that's just blue states that are already going to give their electoral votes to Donald Trump anyway.

00:33:34.000 So, you know, there's a CNN poll showing that Trump is up in all the battleground states.

00:33:38.000 Yeah.

00:33:39.000 Trump's got a secret voter base.

00:33:41.000 So I don't know if that makes sense because the Democratic states that are enforcing these lockdowns are sabotaging themselves.

00:33:47.000 Like, we were talking about this before.

00:33:49.000 It's true.

00:33:50.000 About emotion versus logical politicking.

00:33:53.000 Where if, like, you had an apartment, and there was one guy who was constantly, you know, you're a bunch of roommates, and he was like, everybody's got to pitch in their fair share to clean up, everyone would groan.

00:33:53.000 Yep.

00:34:02.000 And the one guy would be like, if you make me in charge of the house, everybody gets pizza!

00:34:06.000 They'd be like, yeah, pizza!

00:34:08.000 And then the house falls apart because it's easy and, you know, they vote for the easy thing to do.

00:34:13.000 Well, now you've got a bunch of people that clearly want to go to the bars.

00:34:16.000 Like Wisconsin, everybody flooded to the bars.

00:34:18.000 They didn't care.

00:34:18.000 I wouldn't do that.

00:34:19.000 I wouldn't either.

00:34:20.000 But hey, man, people want to.

00:34:20.000 I wouldn't do that.

00:34:22.000 Bars are too expensive.

00:34:23.000 I like drinking out of them.

00:34:24.000 Restaurants and stuff and barbershops.

00:34:26.000 People are like, I don't care.

00:34:28.000 I'm going out.

00:34:28.000 Yeah, it's true.

00:34:29.000 These people are not happy with their Democratic governors.

00:34:33.000 Man, you think about what happened in this pandemic, and I'll tell you what, I wouldn't be surprised if conservatives greatly outnumber Democrats when this is all over.

00:34:40.000 Everyone buying guns, figuring out what the laws are like.

00:34:44.000 You see that viral video where the gun shop owner was complaining about first-time gun buyers?

00:34:48.000 He was like, I swear, these first-time gun buyers, you come into my store, you can't get the weapon.

00:34:48.000 No, was he?

00:34:55.000 No, you can't pay me more to get it faster.

00:34:57.000 You got background checks, you got waiting periods.

00:34:59.000 How about the next time someone tries to take your stuff away, you vote against it?

00:35:03.000 He got really angry.

00:35:03.000 Yeah.

00:35:04.000 Good for him.

00:35:05.000 He should.

00:35:05.000 Because in L.A.

00:35:06.000 Yeah, man.

00:35:07.000 In L.A.

00:35:08.000 these people are showing up like, oh no, the world is in, you know, we're in an emergency, I better get a weapon.

00:35:13.000 And it's like, where were you when everyone was saying, like, now you're coming in and shocked that these are the laws you voted for.

00:35:18.000 Wait, I can't get a gun now?

00:35:20.000 Yeah, because you voted to make it hard to get a gun.

00:35:23.000 It's not a call.

00:35:24.000 It's you voted for these people, you know?

00:35:26.000 Yeah.

00:35:27.000 I mean, speaking of that though, apparently there was an amendment to, I think it was the Patriot Act, that would have taken away the ability of the government to spy on browsing history.

00:35:36.000 And it was relatively bipartisan, but it was mostly Democrats who were voting to amend it, to remove this power.

00:35:41.000 And it was mostly Republicans who voted against it.

00:35:44.000 It failed by one vote, so the government retains the power to warrantlessly get your browser history. 0.72

00:35:50.000 It's ridiculous.

00:35:50.000 Yeah, that's messed up.

00:35:51.000 And that's the problem I have when people are like, you gotta vote for the Republicans.

00:35:54.000 I'm like, why?

00:35:55.000 So they can empower the federal government's FISA search powers.

00:35:58.000 They just did some, they just extended FISA powers and it was like an 80 to 16 vote.

00:36:02.000 Like all these, like bipartisan support for him.

00:36:05.000 You know what, man?

00:36:06.000 The Democrats want to come out and complain to us. 1.00

00:36:07.000 Donald Trump is a fascist. 0.99

00:36:08.000 We must stop him. 0.99

00:36:09.000 But let's vote to give him more executive authority.

00:36:11.000 They're giving him more power?

00:36:13.000 That's why it's all fake.

00:36:14.000 It's all fake, man.

00:36:15.000 Yep.

00:36:16.000 They all want the power.

00:36:17.000 Right.

00:36:18.000 They're like, well, when I'm in office, I definitely want to be able to warrantly spy on American citizens.

00:36:24.000 So I gotta vote for it now.

00:36:26.000 But anyway, back to the lockdown.

00:36:27.000 I think these Democratic governors are like, oof, they're ending their, they're destroying their careers.

00:36:35.000 It feels like it, yeah.

00:36:37.000 Who's going to want to vote for them?

00:36:38.000 It's like, what are you doing?

00:36:38.000 Especially Whitmer.

00:36:40.000 Oh, she is the Queen Karen.

00:36:43.000 She does look like a queen. 0.95

00:36:44.000 Professor Umbridge.

00:36:45.000 Queen Karen.

00:36:45.000 Professor Umbridge?

00:36:46.000 She is Queen Karen.

00:36:47.000 Yeah, she really is.

00:36:49.000 This is crazy.

00:36:49.000 Check this out.

00:36:50.000 This is crazy.

00:36:51.000 So people are getting really mad about this, I guess.

00:36:53.000 Oh, of course they are.

00:36:54.000 Supervisor Jim Desmond publishes video messages calling for immediate reopening of San Diego County businesses.

00:37:00.000 Apparently he said something like, rise up.

00:37:02.000 I don't know if that's a real quote.

00:37:04.000 That's what people were sharing.

00:37:05.000 I didn't hear that.

00:37:05.000 You didn't see him say that?

00:37:06.000 I was listening to it.

00:37:07.000 Yeah, I didn't hear that.

00:37:07.000 I didn't listen to the full thing.

00:37:08.000 It's five minutes long.

00:37:09.000 Oh, maybe at the end.

00:37:10.000 Well, maybe he did.

00:37:11.000 Maybe he didn't.

00:37:11.000 Let's just find out.

00:37:13.000 No, he said rise to the challenge.

00:37:15.000 He didn't say rise up.

00:37:16.000 Rise to the challenge.

00:37:16.000 Oh, okay.

00:37:17.000 Okay, so people were being hyperbolic.

00:37:19.000 But he basically points out, he makes some really, really great points.

00:37:23.000 Without going into everything, here's the guy who's smart.

00:37:26.000 Go to the small mom and pop shops that are having their businesses destroyed.

00:37:30.000 And I'll tell you what they're gonna tell you.

00:37:32.000 Why is it that I sell clothing, but Walmart gets to keep, say, open selling clothing and I can't?

00:37:37.000 Why are the big box stores and the corporations being benefited from this lockdown?

00:37:40.000 Why am I being held back?

00:37:42.000 And these democratic governors who are like, and the media, they're rooting for the billionaires while pretending like they're not.

00:37:49.000 I don't get it.

00:37:50.000 I don't know, man.

00:37:51.000 I think there's just, there's no, there's no principle behind what they're saying.

00:37:56.000 It's just, I'm angry.

00:37:57.000 Yep.

00:37:58.000 I'll tell you what though, I'm looking forward to going to the movies.

00:38:00.000 I can't wait.

00:38:01.000 I wanna go out to eat.

00:38:02.000 I wanna go bowling.

00:38:04.000 Bowling?

00:38:04.000 Yeah.

00:38:05.000 I brought my bowling ball across the country to bowl again.

00:38:09.000 I even have my bowling shoes.

00:38:11.000 That's right.

00:38:11.000 They still fit me from when I was 11.

00:38:14.000 What?

00:38:14.000 Yeah.

00:38:15.000 Yeah.

00:38:15.000 Bowling?

00:38:16.000 I got bowling shoes at 11.

00:38:18.000 Yeah, but you know what?

00:38:19.000 When I was younger, I would always say I was size 12.

00:38:22.000 My feet are size 12, but it's too big.

00:38:25.000 And then my bowling shoes, I got them a little smaller because I was not a size 12.

00:38:30.000 My shoes were always way too big for me.

00:38:31.000 I wonder how many people actually want to go out, though.

00:38:35.000 Would you go bowling right now?

00:38:38.000 Definitely.

00:38:39.000 If I could?

00:38:40.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:38:42.000 The bowling alley is right there.

00:38:44.000 I'm saying jam-packed, tons of people, all breathing and sweaty and touching everything.

00:38:49.000 I really want to go bowling.

00:38:52.000 I'd go to the movies.

00:38:53.000 I'd totally go to the movies.

00:38:54.000 It's the same thing.

00:38:55.000 Person behind you coughs.

00:38:55.000 Same thing.

00:38:57.000 Not necessarily.

00:38:58.000 Two rows back.

00:38:58.000 Sneezes.

00:38:59.000 Sneezes.

00:39:00.000 Boom.

00:39:00.000 All over you.

00:39:01.000 You're not handling the same bowling balls.

00:39:03.000 I've got my own bowling ball.

00:39:05.000 You're really prepared.

00:39:05.000 That's true.

00:39:05.000 You do.

00:39:06.000 I don't have to put my hands in other people's holes.

00:39:09.000 Oof.

00:39:09.000 That's right.

00:39:10.000 I said that.

00:39:10.000 Phrasing.

00:39:12.000 Phrasing.

00:39:14.000 Oh, I'm having such a good time today.

00:39:15.000 Oh, man.

00:39:16.000 Adam's causing trouble.

00:39:18.000 Oh man, this is great.

00:39:21.000 It's been a weird experience, man.

00:39:23.000 I'm about ready for it to be over.

00:39:24.000 Once in a lifetime, I hope.

00:39:25.000 I'm ready.

00:39:26.000 I wasn't that impacted by it.

00:39:28.000 We work from the home studio, so I wasn't that impacted by when they locked things down.

00:39:33.000 I just game.

00:39:33.000 I'm a gamer.

00:39:34.000 Video games.

00:39:35.000 We got a skate park.

00:39:36.000 Podcasts.

00:39:37.000 That's great.

00:39:37.000 We have a skate park.

00:39:39.000 We've got a fire pit.

00:39:39.000 We've been skating like crazy.

00:39:41.000 Yeah, we've just been skating the ramp.

00:39:42.000 I like going out and having powwows at restaurants, sitting down, talking about stuff.

00:39:48.000 It's true.

00:39:49.000 I do miss that too.

00:39:50.000 And what I miss too is non-political conversations.

00:39:54.000 Because, you know, there was- Yes, that's all it is nowadays.

00:39:58.000 Because- COVID and politics.

00:40:00.000 Because when you can't leave, nothing happens.

00:40:02.000 Right.

00:40:03.000 And so it's just like, I don't know, the one thing that has to happen, the people who are still getting paid and still working are doing stuff.

00:40:08.000 That's what's crazy about all of this.

00:40:09.000 The journalists are still getting paid.

00:40:11.000 The politicians are still getting paid.

00:40:12.000 And they're the ones mostly being like, lock everything down.

00:40:14.000 It's like, yeah, okay, how about we stop paying you?

00:40:17.000 And then we can, you know, then we can have that conversation about who, you know, what are, what we should or shouldn't do.

00:40:23.000 Yeah, you don't seem very essential.

00:40:25.000 Nah.

00:40:26.000 I don't know, man.

00:40:28.000 What are you looking forward to the most when you get your freedom back?

00:40:32.000 Outside of bowling.

00:40:33.000 You mentioned bowling.

00:40:35.000 Yeah, well, we'll see.

00:40:38.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:40:39.000 Probably going and checking out Philadelphia.

00:40:42.000 I went to high school here.

00:40:43.000 That's funny.

00:40:44.000 Like, right when you got here, they locked everything down.

00:40:47.000 I'm like, man, I haven't been here as an adult.

00:40:47.000 Yeah, I got here.

00:40:49.000 I get to, like, really experience this place that I loved as a kid.

00:40:52.000 I had a lot of really good friends, you know, in this area.

00:40:56.000 I would like to meet them all as adults.

00:40:59.000 We can, like, go out.

00:41:01.000 Yeah, it's cool. 0.76

00:41:02.000 I really remember Philadelphia being an awesome city, and I was able to go, like, twice since I got here, and it sucks.

00:41:09.000 Like, I really want to go explore.

00:41:10.000 Maybe it's time to move to Texas, man.

00:41:13.000 Leave Philadelphia?

00:41:14.000 But I want to experience Philadelphia.

00:41:16.000 No, I'm saying because, you know, Philadelphia, PA, I think, extended the lockdown.

00:41:20.000 I know, yeah, that's what they said.

00:41:21.000 Yeah, so even if, first of all, New Jersey is not going to extend because North Jersey is basically New York Metro.

00:41:26.000 Right.

00:41:26.000 Pennsylvania, so we're in the thick of it, man.

00:41:29.000 I know.

00:41:30.000 Joe Rogan mentioned in passing, you know, he might want to go to Texas.

00:41:33.000 I say that mentioning in passing because the media loves to latch on to anything he says and then light it on fire.

00:41:39.000 He's like, I might vote for Bernie.

00:41:41.000 And then they're like, Joe Rogan endorses Bernie Sanders.

00:41:44.000 Well, Bernie ran it as an ad.

00:41:45.000 I know, man. 0.55

00:41:46.000 That was dirty.

00:41:47.000 I didn't like that.

00:41:49.000 Dirty move, man. 0.98

00:41:50.000 Could you imagine one day it's an ad with you being like, yeah, I might vote for the guy.

00:41:54.000 And it's out of context.

00:41:56.000 Yeah, but he said he might move to Texas.

00:41:57.000 And so I'm thinking, yeah, he's got a point, man.

00:42:00.000 I don't know about Texas, though.

00:42:01.000 They have miniature cows there, Tim.

00:42:03.000 They have miniature cows in Texas?

00:42:04.000 OK.

00:42:05.000 Done.

00:42:05.000 Yep.

00:42:05.000 Decision is made.

00:42:06.000 There you go.

00:42:06.000 Sold it.

00:42:07.000 We're going to have so many miniature cows.

00:42:09.000 We were looking for cows all the way across the country.

00:42:09.000 No.

00:42:12.000 It was amazing.

00:42:13.000 What do you mean?

00:42:13.000 They're amazing.

00:42:14.000 Little cows? 1.00

00:42:15.000 Yes.

00:42:16.000 Like up to your hip.

00:42:16.000 Running around.

00:42:17.000 They're so cute.

00:42:18.000 Making little milk.

00:42:20.000 And, you know.

00:42:21.000 I'm good.

00:42:22.000 And then you got little cows, man.

00:42:24.000 They're so cute.

00:42:24.000 and they could rescue cows eat grass oh yeah they do i'm not gonna eat the cows well good

00:42:29.000 no you have the cows you hang out with them man yeah they're your friends i guess i hear cows like

00:42:33.000 music they do yeah they do they like jamming yeah you go play music in the field you should like

00:42:37.000 make like a drum pad system so they can walk and hit drums and be like oh what's what's that

00:42:42.000 there was a viral reddit post yeah man There was a viral reddit post the other day about something called the Kolning or something.

00:42:53.000 The what?

00:42:54.000 The Kolning. 0.99

00:42:56.000 It's a Swedish song they sing to cows and all the cows come running over to this woman who's singing and they all stand and watch.

00:43:03.000 I've seen videos of people doing like trumpet, playing trumpet.

00:43:07.000 And the cows are like, they all come to watch and they're like, wow, that is a great sound.

00:43:11.000 Yeah.

00:43:12.000 Cows are jamming, bro.

00:43:14.000 Cows are cool.

00:43:15.000 Maybe it's because we artificially selected them.

00:43:17.000 They are cool animals.

00:43:19.000 I hung out with cows before.

00:43:20.000 They're cool.

00:43:21.000 Yeah.

00:43:21.000 My uncle has a farm.

00:43:22.000 He's got some cows.

00:43:23.000 Maybe, you know, back in the day when we were breeding cows, the people who were breeding them would be jamming out on their lute or whatever.

00:43:29.000 Yeah, the cowboys used to play.

00:43:31.000 Yeah, and the cows would come on by and they'd be like, I like this one.

00:43:34.000 Let's make more of them.

00:43:36.000 The mouth, what is the mouth harp?

00:43:38.000 Yeah, the harmonica and stuff.

00:43:41.000 We could have, we could have.

00:43:42.000 Chickens.

00:43:42.000 Somebody, what was that funny super chat we got the other day?

00:43:44.000 They were like, Americans harp on about their freedom, but you can't even own chickens.

00:43:47.000 Okay.

00:43:48.000 That stung a little bit.

00:43:51.000 Freedom!

00:43:51.000 The right to own chickens.

00:43:53.000 It's honestly, it's the closer you are to a big city, the less you can be rural.

00:43:58.000 The less you can do anything.

00:43:59.000 Basically.

00:44:00.000 That's so annoying.

00:44:02.000 Yeah, because everyone's crammed together.

00:44:03.000 Yeah.

00:44:04.000 And it's like, crazy.

00:44:05.000 They say, you know, your rights end where my rights begin or whatever.

00:44:08.000 Like, the general idea is Because everybody is different in what they're willing to accept, there's a lowest common denominator to what is legal.

00:44:17.000 Yeah, if you're in the middle of nowhere, who's going to complain?

00:44:20.000 It's like you could light a flaming arrow and fire it straight up and then run.

00:44:23.000 Sounds like fun!

00:44:24.000 Sounds smart. 0.99

00:44:25.000 Right, I mean it's like a very stupid thing to do, but you got no neighbors. 0.99

00:44:29.000 As long as you don't burn a forest down or something, nobody's going to care. 0.99

00:44:32.000 You do that in a city and you're going to be arrested and charged with terrorism or something ridiculous. 0.99

00:44:35.000 They're going to come for you and they're going to be like, are you nuts? 0.93

00:44:39.000 I know some people who live in the middle of nowhere and they've got a bunch of guns and they go in the back and they have a shooting area set up and they have a range and everything.

00:44:46.000 My buddy in Texas has a range in the back area.

00:44:48.000 There's a funny viral meme where there's a target on a fence in a suburban area so there's neighbors right next door.

00:44:55.000 And it shows like it's like a woman with like a rifle and she's pointing at the fence. Yeah firing at the target and 1.00

00:45:00.000 It's like it's clearly not real right the joke is like firing into the neighbor's yard or whatever 0.94

00:45:06.000 And then a bunch of you know like lefty people are getting triggered by it like wow these people are nuts

00:45:11.000 And it's like it's not real. That's the joke You're falling for the rights memes again. Yep, cuz we can

00:45:17.000 meme this is This lockdown stuff has really made me want to accelerate, not necessarily bugging out, but just getting more space to do more stuff.

00:45:27.000 Adam and I had this five-acre Miami place, and we had a .22 pellet gun and a bunch of CO2 cartridges, and we were just like... You know I still have that gun?

00:45:38.000 Oh, you do?

00:45:39.000 In Arizona?

00:45:39.000 I do, yeah.

00:45:40.000 It's in Arizona, yeah.

00:45:41.000 It's not bad.

00:45:42.000 What was it, like a Remington or something?

00:45:43.000 It's pretty good.

00:45:44.000 It's pretty legit, dude.

00:45:45.000 That thing would... I mean, you'd probably kill somebody with that. 0.99

00:45:45.000 Yeah, it's brutal. 0.99

00:45:48.000 Yeah, totally, totally. 0.79

00:45:48.000 You'd hit them in the eye or a soft spot in the temple or something. 0.79

00:45:51.000 I mean, if you're close enough, it'll go right through their head. 0.98

00:45:54.000 Probably, yeah.

00:45:54.000 It was a .22, wasn't it?

00:45:54.000 That thing was brutal.

00:45:55.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

00:45:56.000 But it was air, so I think it was like 17 feet... What were the feet per second?

00:45:59.000 It was intense, right?

00:46:00.000 No idea, no idea.

00:46:01.000 But we would put little CO2 cans and then, you know, put it down and we'd, like, ping!

00:46:06.000 And then it would go, you know, We'd also blow up lithium batteries.

00:46:10.000 That was fun.

00:46:10.000 Oh, man.

00:46:11.000 Troublemakers.

00:46:12.000 We had a lot of fun in Miami.

00:46:14.000 Yeah, but that's when you have space.

00:46:15.000 You could do whatever you want.

00:46:16.000 So no one cared.

00:46:16.000 That's true.

00:46:16.000 True.

00:46:17.000 I couldn't imagine being one of these city folk, you know, trapped in New York City.

00:46:21.000 Mm hmm.

00:46:22.000 It's like people are gonna turn into the Joker, man.

00:46:24.000 Probably.

00:46:25.000 They're like, I've seen some weird videos, like people are doing one.

00:46:29.000 Someone had like a studio apartment and they made a stop motion on their floor, like mounted the camera and then because like, What else are you gonna do? You're basically in prison, you

00:46:39.000 Well, I think that's why in New York they've all been going out disregarding all the

00:46:39.000 know?

00:46:43.000 orders. And so then who really gets impacted by it? Poor people, I guess. Not the rich New Yorkers.

00:46:51.000 They can afford to deal with it. Nobody will mess with them.

00:46:53.000 They pay, you know.

00:46:53.000 That tends to be how it goes.

00:46:57.000 But I mean, for us here, I haven't really noticed anything.

00:47:00.000 I've gone out, there's been no issues.

00:47:01.000 I mean, they're selling masks everywhere.

00:47:03.000 Oh, are they?

00:47:04.000 Yeah, it's a law, I guess, in Jersey that you have to wear a mask.

00:47:07.000 Period.

00:47:08.000 If you go out, you have to be wearing a mask.

00:47:12.000 Well...

00:47:13.000 I mean, it's not that hard to wear a mask.

00:47:14.000 It's not that bad.

00:47:16.000 What if this is like... You should just open it up and everyone just wear a mask.

00:47:19.000 Wash your hands, keep it clean.

00:47:24.000 How many people do you think... I don't know how to ask this question, but I imagine there's a lot of people who are gonna get really ripped and a lot of people who are gonna get really out of shape.

00:47:30.000 Okay.

00:47:31.000 Depending on like the sport you do.

00:47:32.000 That's true.

00:47:33.000 Like if I was in New York, like we wouldn't be skateboarding.

00:47:39.000 So we wouldn't be doing any exercise.

00:47:41.000 But we're out here, we got a backyard, we got a mini ramp and a flat, so we're skating all the time.

00:47:45.000 Getting exercise.

00:47:45.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:47:47.000 There's probably a lot of people that are probably losing it because they can't play basketball or they can't play football and they're trapped in a cubicle.

00:47:53.000 Yeah, man.

00:47:54.000 We feel bad for those people.

00:47:56.000 But I imagine a lot of them are probably doing exercise and stuff inside.

00:47:59.000 Just doing whatever.

00:47:59.000 Yeah.

00:48:00.000 There was a funny video where it's like a bunch of people were protesting for having, you know, to get gyms to reopen.

00:48:05.000 So they started doing push-ups and squats on the ground.

00:48:05.000 Yeah.

00:48:07.000 Perfect.

00:48:07.000 And then everybody was like... Wait.

00:48:10.000 Why don't you just do that?

00:48:11.000 This is how it works.

00:48:13.000 You're literally working out.

00:48:17.000 We have another segment that we're going to jump over to.

00:48:20.000 Let's do Super Chats first.

00:48:21.000 You don't want to do the last segment?

00:48:22.000 No, I don't want to get lost.

00:48:24.000 We're going to do Super Chats!

00:48:27.000 Super Chats!

00:48:28.000 Make sure y'all, if you want to get into Super Chats, ask questions before we talk about the Anti-Civil Liberties Union.

00:48:33.000 What up?

00:48:34.000 They no longer support civil liberties, so we're going to talk about... We can make fun of them.

00:48:37.000 It's an issue of, not necessarily men's rights, it's civil rights, it's the right of the, you know, for due process, but the ACLU is now opposing it.

00:48:37.000 Great.

00:48:44.000 How do you think the whole Obamagate situation is going to play out?

00:48:47.000 your questions. Just us, thanks to Super Chat, says Beanie Gang. That's right. Yes. Yeah.

00:48:53.000 George Wood says, Yo Tim, love the show. Done it a few times in the last two weeks. How

00:48:56.000 do you think the whole Obamagate situation is going to play out? Arrests? My prediction

00:49:01.000 right now, low level arrests. FBI agents, nothing.

00:49:06.000 not high-ranking officials, and I think they're gonna slowly release this information

00:49:11.000 and make some moves as we get closer to the election for two reasons.

00:49:14.000 If Donald Trump doesn't get reelected, they lose their chance.

00:49:17.000 More importantly, these actions help Donald Trump get reelected. 0.98

00:49:21.000 But Joe Biden, man, he's dirty. 0.85

00:49:23.000 That guy's more of a- People are saying the audio is bad. 0.98

00:49:26.000 The audio went out.

00:49:27.000 Audio went out, what?

00:49:28.000 Says your mic is weird.

00:49:29.000 I hear you fine.

00:49:30.000 I think I fixed it.

00:49:31.000 Did I fix it?

00:49:33.000 Something weird just happened.

00:49:33.000 Give it a second.

00:49:34.000 I don't know.

00:49:35.000 Everyone, uh, I mean, we don't know if the mic is dead.

00:49:39.000 Tim's mic died.

00:49:40.000 It died.

00:49:40.000 What?

00:49:41.000 Says it died.

00:49:42.000 Nope.

00:49:43.000 I think it's working now.

00:49:44.000 Yeah.

00:49:44.000 Okay.

00:49:45.000 I think we're good.

00:49:45.000 Yeah.

00:49:45.000 I think, I think we're good.

00:49:46.000 Are we good?

00:49:47.000 We're good?

00:49:49.000 You got to wait 30 seconds because of the delay.

00:49:49.000 We got it.

00:49:51.000 Yeah.

00:49:51.000 Someone's saying an echo audio still.

00:49:56.000 Yeah.

00:49:56.000 There was the mute button popped off.

00:49:58.000 That's what happened.

00:49:59.000 So we have a bunch of different cameras and each one has its own independent.

00:50:04.000 Appreciate you guys.

00:50:06.000 I'm watching.

00:50:07.000 Yep.

00:50:07.000 I got you.

00:50:08.000 All right, here we go.

00:50:10.000 Let's see.

00:50:11.000 George Wood says, yo, Tim, love the show.

00:50:12.000 Done it a few times in the last two weeks.

00:50:13.000 Oh, I read that.

00:50:14.000 I literally, okay.

00:50:16.000 Dan Bordeaux says, got some money, so I figured I'd send all y'all a super chat because I sent Lydia that Thomas Paine quote on talking with illogical people to give you Tim.

00:50:24.000 Yes, that was super cool.

00:50:25.000 Yeah, sweet.

00:50:26.000 I gotta find it.

00:50:26.000 We gotta read it.

00:50:27.000 Oh, Jesus is here.

00:50:29.000 Wait, what?

00:50:29.000 Yes, let me, you know.

00:50:31.000 The real, the real Jesus?

00:50:33.000 Not wearing my formal beanie, I feel underdressed. 0.89

00:50:34.000 Oh, what the heck?

00:50:35.000 I really wanna see this formal beanie. 0.84

00:50:36.000 No, that's not fair.

00:50:37.000 I think it's Jesus.

00:50:43.000 Can you imagine how offended SJWs would be if they were subjected to the comments that went on in the game lobbies of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2?

00:50:50.000 They would not survive.

00:50:52.000 No, they wouldn't!

00:50:53.000 I remember the first time I ever played Call of Duty, I was at my friend's house.

00:50:58.000 And he was playing some kind of online multiplayer.

00:51:00.000 And he was like, here, play.

00:51:01.000 And I'm like, I don't know how to play.

00:51:02.000 This doesn't sound like FPS.

00:51:03.000 He's like, just play.

00:51:04.000 He was like, I go to the bathroom.

00:51:05.000 And so he gives me the headset.

00:51:07.000 And then I hear people smack talking or whatever.

00:51:09.000 And then he was like, here's how you do melee.

00:51:11.000 Here's the weapons.

00:51:12.000 And I started actually doing really, really well.

00:51:14.000 And then he came back and started laughing. 0.99

00:51:15.000 And then he took the headset and started talking mad smack to everybody, making fun of them for being losers. 0.99

00:51:21.000 He's like, my friend's a dumbass who's never played this game before. 1.00

00:51:23.000 You guys are... He's swearing a lot more than that. 0.99

00:51:25.000 And it was funny and I'm like, that was borderline.

00:51:28.000 I was like, is this, is this, is this, you know, like, is this the cultural colloquial conversation?

00:51:33.000 Is this?

00:51:34.000 Indeed.

00:51:35.000 He was like, I'm being friendly.

00:51:35.000 Yes.

00:51:37.000 You know, he's like spitting and swearing.

00:51:39.000 Oh my gosh.

00:51:39.000 That's funny.

00:51:40.000 Yeah.

00:51:41.000 Christian says, I used to have terrible allergies that would cause me to nosebleed terribly.

00:51:46.000 Went to live in Ireland for a couple months and boom, gone.

00:51:49.000 No allergies.

00:51:49.000 Oh, wow.

00:51:50.000 Forever?

00:51:50.000 Gone?

00:51:51.000 Gone.

00:51:52.000 Cool.

00:51:52.000 Go to Ireland, Tim.

00:51:53.000 There you go.

00:51:54.000 That's the cure.

00:51:55.000 Bring back some good whiskey.

00:51:55.000 I've been to Ireland.

00:51:58.000 I've been to Ireland.

00:51:59.000 I like Scottish whiskey.

00:52:00.000 Didn't cure my allergies.

00:52:01.000 Shame.

00:52:01.000 No?

00:52:01.000 No.

00:52:01.000 Where are we at?

00:52:03.000 Where are we at?

00:52:03.000 It's because you didn't bring me the whiskey.

00:52:05.000 That's true.

00:52:06.000 Big LC says, welcome back to the First Church of Soy Jesus. 0.66

00:52:08.000 I'm Reverend Tim.

00:52:10.000 I have donned the holy beanie, and the sermon is starting.

00:52:13.000 Sermon's been going on now for a while.

00:52:14.000 I love this.

00:52:15.000 I love it, though.

00:52:16.000 I love this.

00:52:17.000 TheGreyGamer says, love your show.

00:52:18.000 Your dearest consumer of episodic news content, the PPPooPooMan. 1.00

00:52:22.000 Thank you.

00:52:23.000 OK.

00:52:23.000 Jeremy, thanks for the super chat.

00:52:25.000 Jessica Cora says, Wisconsin executive order struck down.

00:52:28.000 Restaurants and bars instantly passed.

00:52:31.000 Yes!

00:52:33.000 I kind of want to go to a restaurant.

00:52:33.000 I'm not surprised.

00:52:35.000 I really want to go to a restaurant.

00:52:36.000 I do too.

00:52:36.000 I would go to Uno's.

00:52:37.000 They have vegan pizza.

00:52:38.000 I kind of want to order Uno's now.

00:52:40.000 You should do that.

00:52:41.000 I would totally slam down some vegan pizza.

00:52:44.000 Yeah, that's good.

00:52:46.000 They've got good pizza.

00:52:49.000 Sassy Pants says, eat honey made from bees in your area that will help with allergies. 1.00

00:52:53.000 I've heard that, but I don't think we have honey made from the bees.

00:52:55.000 I guess I gotta find a farmer's market or something.

00:52:58.000 I'm sure there's no farmer's market right now.

00:53:01.000 David Palmer says, we know the story behind how Adam and Tim met.

00:53:04.000 What's up with Lydia's story?

00:53:06.000 Um, she was a meme smith on the internet and I talked to her online as she produced memes.

00:53:11.000 Yeah.

00:53:11.000 And then I said, one day I was like, you know, your knowledge of memes is quite impressive.

00:53:16.000 I could use someone with your, your memeing ability.

00:53:18.000 Yeah.

00:53:18.000 And asked her if she wanted to come out.

00:53:21.000 And in all seriousness, it has to do with Lydia's understanding of the news atmosphere.

00:53:26.000 Yeah, I like to read the news.

00:53:28.000 It made me kind of unpopular at the hospital, because all I ever wanted to talk about was the news, and everyone was like, please stop!

00:53:34.000 Please stop!

00:53:34.000 So I would just rant it to him and it worked great.

00:53:36.000 Yeah.

00:53:37.000 Good friends.

00:53:38.000 Because we're playing on doing this show and I was like, we really need someone

00:53:40.000 who can help story produce.

00:53:41.000 And there you go.

00:53:42.000 The rest is history.

00:53:43.000 Yep.

00:53:43.000 Boom.

00:53:45.000 IB Rippenham says, Facebook does know everything.

00:53:47.000 Last week, I farted in my living room.

00:53:49.000 Five minutes later, there were ads for whoopee cushions on my wall.

00:53:52.000 Gas X. Yeah.

00:53:52.000 No, no, no.

00:53:54.000 They're trying to do away with... Or beano?

00:53:56.000 What?

00:53:56.000 Poopery.

00:53:57.000 Beano?

00:53:58.000 What's that?

00:53:58.000 Is that one?

00:53:59.000 Yeah, you eat it before.

00:53:59.000 Yeah, it's like a pill that you eat so you don't fart.

00:54:02.000 Beano?

00:54:02.000 Yes.

00:54:03.000 All right.

00:54:05.000 Where are we at?

00:54:06.000 Julian says, what is the best music to skate to?

00:54:09.000 And have you guys gone surfing as well? 0.96

00:54:12.000 Also, I love when Tim says, be clowns. 0.95

00:54:15.000 Yes, that's the best word. 0.97

00:54:16.000 I try and say it in a funny way. 0.99

00:54:17.000 Be clown. 0.91

00:54:18.000 I've surfed, it's fun. 0.95

00:54:19.000 I love that word, dude.

00:54:20.000 But music, you hit up some good music.

00:54:22.000 Oh yeah, we got the good skeet music.

00:54:23.000 Well, so, I use Pandora's thumbprint radio.

00:54:26.000 Punk punk music's good.

00:54:29.000 Alternative indie.

00:54:31.000 It's good punk.

00:54:32.000 Muse is good.

00:54:33.000 And there's... Muse is really good, yes.

00:54:35.000 In that style, because... Muse.

00:54:36.000 But it really depends, man.

00:54:37.000 I know people skate some weird stuff.

00:54:39.000 That's true.

00:54:39.000 Hip-hop is pretty good.

00:54:40.000 Hip-hop is good too, that's true.

00:54:42.000 It's a good beat.

00:54:43.000 It's a good beat where you get a consistent, like, correct, like a good BPM, like... Old school hip-hop.

00:54:49.000 Yeah, old school hip-hop is good.

00:54:51.000 Who's your favorite hip-hop artist?

00:54:53.000 Mine?

00:54:54.000 I don't know.

00:54:54.000 Both of you.

00:54:54.000 Let's talk about it.

00:54:55.000 I love hip-hop.

00:54:56.000 I love hip-hop and rap.

00:54:57.000 I love rap.

00:54:58.000 I love logic.

00:54:59.000 You're from Chicago.

00:54:59.000 You know Atmosphere?

00:55:01.000 Man, they're good.

00:55:01.000 Nope.

00:55:03.000 Oh, come on, Tim.

00:55:04.000 No, I grew up listening to punk.

00:55:05.000 There's some of my favorites.

00:55:08.000 Punk, indie, you know, and whatever.

00:55:11.000 Okay, cool.

00:55:12.000 So, the Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack.

00:55:15.000 That's good skating music.

00:55:16.000 It's gonna be good.

00:55:16.000 It's coming out.

00:55:17.000 It's good skating music.

00:55:18.000 They were well, well-picked songs.

00:55:19.000 Yeah.

00:55:20.000 Agreed. 0.93

00:55:22.000 Be Clowns.

00:55:23.000 Architect of Fate says, Tim, when can we get a stream from the House Coral Lydia and Sue Hulk doing a collaboration?

00:55:29.000 Oh, that'd be so much fun!

00:55:30.000 Baking?

00:55:31.000 She's in Scotland, though.

00:55:33.000 Yeah, it's okay.

00:55:33.000 We'll bake on different time zones.

00:55:34.000 All right.

00:55:36.000 LambdaCore says, Burn, baby, burn. 0.84

00:55:37.000 Disco Inferno.

00:55:39.000 More like Media Inferno.

00:55:41.000 David says, Adam is Soy Jesus, Lydia is Sour Patch Lydia.

00:55:41.000 Right.

00:55:44.000 What food is Tim associated with?

00:55:46.000 The people deserve to know.

00:55:47.000 I don't know.

00:55:49.000 What food?

00:55:49.000 Barbecue sauce.

00:55:51.000 Oh, barbecue sauce mixed with mayonnaise.

00:55:53.000 Yes.

00:55:54.000 I don't use it that much though.

00:55:54.000 Okay.

00:55:55.000 I use it on like, when I make chicken.

00:55:58.000 That's just like, you know.

00:55:59.000 It's the same thing.

00:56:00.000 You use it a lot.

00:56:01.000 Yeah, but a lot is relative.

00:56:04.000 When I'm eating... Consistently, then.

00:56:04.000 Okay.

00:56:07.000 Consistently.

00:56:07.000 Yes.

00:56:08.000 When I'm eating something that can be sauced.

00:56:11.000 Indeed.

00:56:11.000 It's basically Chick-fil-A sauce.

00:56:14.000 If you've ever had Chick-fil-A sauce, that's what it tastes like.

00:56:14.000 Yeah, it's great.

00:56:16.000 So good.

00:56:17.000 I'm pretty sure that's what Chick-fil-A sauce is.

00:56:18.000 I think so.

00:56:19.000 It probably has sugar to it, though.

00:56:20.000 Yeah, sure.

00:56:21.000 Where we at?

00:56:23.000 Matthew Hammond says, learn to code.

00:56:24.000 Oh, yeah.

00:56:26.000 That's a good point.

00:56:27.000 There you go.

00:56:27.000 Now we're gonna get banned.

00:56:31.000 Yeah, we'll see.

00:56:36.000 A bunch of people have gotten banned recently, so I think it's only a matter of time.

00:56:39.000 For real.

00:56:40.000 Earlier, though, it was just YouTube being down.

00:56:42.000 Oh yeah, for sure.

00:56:43.000 The entire chat is saying Milk Toast.

00:56:46.000 Milk Toast?

00:56:46.000 Is that your favorite food?

00:56:47.000 I mean... Milk Steak.

00:56:49.000 The question was, what are you associated with?

00:56:51.000 Milk Toast.

00:56:52.000 Do you know where Milk Toast comes from?

00:56:54.000 The fence sitting?

00:56:55.000 No, it literally comes from a comic about a guy whose name was Milk Toast.

00:56:59.000 And his name was Milk Toast in a reference to a very bland breakfast.

00:57:03.000 He had a very weak stomach. 0.54

00:57:05.000 It sounds gross.

00:57:07.000 I remember seeing a comment from somebody who called me a milquetoast fence-sitter and I thought it was hilarious. 1.00

00:57:13.000 It is pretty funny.

00:57:14.000 It's not accurate, it's just funny.

00:57:16.000 It's like a self-dig.

00:57:17.000 Because milquetoast reference someone who's weak-willed.

00:57:20.000 I'm certainly very adamant and yelling and complaining with the media all the time.

00:57:27.000 You definitely have a stance.

00:57:30.000 On issues of freedom in the media.

00:57:32.000 But when it comes to, like, economics, healthcare and stuff, you know, you're not going to hear me... Like, even when I talk about the Obamagate stuff, I'm not like, Obama!

00:57:40.000 Subpoena!

00:57:41.000 And so that's why they say milquetoast, because I'm not like... That was very Alex Jones.

00:57:41.000 Rawr!

00:57:44.000 You go very Alex Jones in those moments.

00:57:46.000 Yeah?

00:57:47.000 Alex Jones?

00:57:48.000 Well, not that you are, but the way you act.

00:57:50.000 Rawr!

00:57:52.000 Bombastic.

00:57:52.000 Rawr!

00:57:54.000 Don't do that.

00:57:55.000 I won't.

00:57:55.000 Don't do that.

00:57:56.000 Where are we at?

00:57:57.000 Michael Connor says, saw two of your vids a guy put on YouTube two to three years ago.

00:58:01.000 Soy Jesus and the Beanie need to hurry up and make some of us watch already.

00:58:04.000 Also, Trump 2020.

00:58:05.000 Yep, skate videos.

00:58:07.000 Definitely skate videos.

00:58:08.000 Yeah, we could.

00:58:09.000 We definitely will.

00:58:09.000 Oh, we will.

00:58:10.000 Yeah, but a million jobs lost.

00:58:12.000 Oh man, yeah.

00:58:12.000 Healthcare jobs.

00:58:12.000 even though COVID deaths lead to quick-fed cash.

00:58:15.000 Perhaps those chief exec types aren't being honest.

00:58:18.000 Looking at you, Cherry Hills.

00:58:19.000 Yeah, but a million jobs lost, healthcare jobs.

00:58:22.000 Oh man, yeah.

00:58:23.000 Lance says, who will be left to keep the government in check?

00:58:26.000 The Watchmen.

00:58:27.000 Julian Borges says, thoughts on The Last of Us 2 leak SJW controversy.

00:58:32.000 I don't know anything about it.

00:58:35.000 I watched some of the videos.

00:58:35.000 Honestly, I don't even know if I care.

00:58:37.000 I don't.

00:58:38.000 I don't care.

00:58:39.000 Someone leaked it.

00:58:40.000 Okay.

00:58:41.000 But what did they leak?

00:58:42.000 The whole game?

00:58:43.000 I don't know what they leaked.

00:58:44.000 Honestly, I don't care that much.

00:58:45.000 I know that they're DMCA, doing DMCA takedowns on people.

00:58:49.000 It's like creepy.

00:58:50.000 Yeah, and it's not legal either.

00:58:50.000 Really?

00:58:52.000 But people are saying something about like, there's a social justice controversy around the game and I'm like, You know what, man?

00:58:58.000 Look, if you liked The Last of Us and you played it, that's awesome.

00:59:02.000 Yeah, I never even played the first one, so I was like, whatever.

00:59:05.000 It's really, really simple how you solve this problem.

00:59:07.000 If you don't like The Last of Us 2 because there's social justice stuff in it, don't buy it.

00:59:13.000 Do you remember what happened with Battlefield V?

00:59:15.000 No.

00:59:16.000 It was chaos.

00:59:17.000 Is that where they, like, you pay to get the best stuff?

00:59:20.000 No.

00:59:20.000 They released a trailer where, like, the lead character on the cover and, like, in the trailer was a woman with a robotic arm.

00:59:27.000 Okay.

00:59:27.000 And, like, purple hair.

00:59:28.000 Alright.

00:59:29.000 In World War I. And people were like, I don't want to play Fortnite.

00:59:32.000 I want to play World War I. Yeah, yeah.

00:59:35.000 And so then the guy was like, if you don't like it, don't buy it.

00:59:37.000 And then nobody bought it.

00:59:38.000 And he was like, wait, I'm sorry, I defeated him!

00:59:39.000 Why isn't anyone buying it?

00:59:39.000 I defeated him!

00:59:41.000 And then they started changing it to, like, make it more... Talk about stupid, man. 1.00

00:59:45.000 Like, realistic? 1.00

00:59:46.000 I love it.

00:59:47.000 You know what I love?

00:59:48.000 I can't stand those colorful games.

00:59:50.000 So one of the things that, uh... Never play Fortnite.

00:59:50.000 They bug me.

00:59:52.000 I was, I was, I was, uh, recently in a Twitter thread between ShoeOnHead and StyxHexanHammer, YouTuber commentators, if you don't know.

01:00:01.000 And they were talking about left and right debate, and I brought up how the left It really feels like if someone becomes left-wing, it's because they were attacked and threatened.

01:00:13.000 And if someone becomes right-wing, it was because they were celebrated and cheered for.

01:00:17.000 And so, you know, Shu agreed.

01:00:18.000 She was like, if you go from left to right, you're greeted with a parade.

01:00:21.000 If you go from right to left, you're, like, picked apart and they go after you.

01:00:24.000 So, when it comes to games like Battlefield, they're so scared of this small sect of lunatics that they compromise all of their values and make the world's worst game, and then nobody buys it.

01:00:39.000 And then what do you do? 0.98

01:00:41.000 It's like, you bend the knee to these lunatics. 1.00

01:00:44.000 Don't be surprised if nobody wants to buy your garbage. 1.00

01:00:46.000 And then nobody buys it.

01:00:48.000 That's what I say about The Last of Us 2.

01:00:49.000 Listen, man.

01:00:50.000 If you don't like it, the best thing you can do, don't buy it.

01:00:53.000 Boom.

01:00:54.000 Yep.

01:00:54.000 That's it?

01:00:55.000 I agree.

01:00:56.000 And then, you know what?

01:00:57.000 They don't learn their lesson often.

01:00:58.000 I think they will.

01:00:59.000 Like, when you look at Birds of Prey.

01:01:02.000 Like, why did this movie bomb so bad?

01:01:03.000 I don't want to look at it anymore.

01:01:05.000 I don't want to look at it.

01:01:07.000 What a terrible movie.

01:01:08.000 It was bad.

01:01:10.000 It's creepy how... Do you ever hear of Gamergate?

01:01:14.000 No.

01:01:15.000 I can't give you the full history of it, but one of the general ideas is that You have these video game companies that advertise on video game news websites.

01:01:27.000 Okay.

01:01:27.000 So the news websites are basically colluding with the advertisers.

01:01:31.000 Right.

01:01:31.000 Like if I'm going to write a review for The Last of Us, and The Last of Us is like, we're going to buy a big ad spot, we want to promote the game.

01:01:37.000 I can't bad mouth the game.

01:01:38.000 Right.

01:01:39.000 So they don't.

01:01:40.000 And then people start complaining like, dude, that review was BS, that game was terrible.

01:01:43.000 Yeah.

01:01:44.000 And so the media companies are just basically... Catering to them.

01:01:47.000 It's an advertisement, it's not real media.

01:01:49.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:01:50.000 Same thing with news.

01:01:51.000 You see these, it's access journalism.

01:01:54.000 It's true.

01:01:55.000 They'll, like, Birds of Prey comes out and then everyone's like, it's the best movie ever!

01:01:58.000 It's like, just be honest, man.

01:01:59.000 As they just got paid to say that, basically.

01:02:01.000 Well, they're scared of losing access.

01:02:03.000 That's what it felt like, anyway.

01:02:04.000 All the reviews were, like, raving, and I'm like, who is reviewing this movie?

01:02:08.000 Did they even watch it, or did they just watch, like, the trailer and got a check from somebody?

01:02:13.000 They're scared of losing access.

01:02:14.000 So they get early releases and previews and stuff like that.

01:02:18.000 I remember there was one tech reporter who was tweeting about how he was given a, like an iPhone, like a new iPhone before it came out.

01:02:27.000 And how tech journalism is the lowest form of journalism because they literally give you free stuff.

01:02:33.000 And if you write bad things about it, they stop giving you free stuff.

01:02:36.000 So they all write good things about the products they get.

01:02:39.000 Yep.

01:02:40.000 Because they're like, eh, it's a free phone, man.

01:02:41.000 Yeah, I got early access.

01:02:42.000 Hey, this phone might be bad, but I'm going to get another free phone next year.

01:02:46.000 If I tell you it's good.

01:02:47.000 And to be honest, like when you get the new Apple or the new Android, they're not that,

01:02:52.000 they're not bad.

01:02:53.000 It's not going to be bad.

01:02:54.000 It's going to be the new high-end phone.

01:02:55.000 You know, you're going to be like, sweet, I got one before everyone else.

01:02:58.000 And yet I'm still using like a four-year-old phone that still works fine.

01:03:02.000 Yeah, but what if, you know, they come to you and they're like, we'd like to give you, you know, three months in advance the newest phone.

01:03:09.000 Yeah, they go to their friends and they're like, look what I got, the new iPhone QR 49 or something.

01:03:14.000 And they're like, wow, how did you get that?

01:03:14.000 QR 49.

01:03:16.000 It's like, well, I'm a journalist and I'm reviewing it.

01:03:18.000 And they write a puff piece. It's the best phone ever and then they'll maybe put in some like fake shade

01:03:23.000 Like I was concerned about the bevel on the camera, but ultimately it pan it played out. Well, it panned out

01:03:29.000 Well, and then you look at movies like my favorite is the death wish. Okay with Bruce Willis

01:03:35.000 Yeah, I think I've seen it say I think something like the honest assessment was like an old samurai revenge, you know

01:03:42.000 modernized His wife gets killed, he goes and buys guns.

01:03:45.000 Oh yeah, that one, okay.

01:03:46.000 Then the killers come back.

01:03:47.000 And it's, like, universally panned. 0.99

01:03:49.000 And, uh, cover your kids' ears now, because I'm going to tell you what one reviewer... A reviewer called it a gun nut masturbation film. 0.97

01:03:57.000 And I'm like... Oh wait, I got headphones on. 0.98

01:03:58.000 It wasn't even.

01:04:00.000 It was an entertaining popcorn flick, but they destroyed it in the reviews.

01:04:04.000 Audience scores like 90%.

01:04:04.000 Audience loved it.

01:04:05.000 It's like, hey, that was fun.

01:04:07.000 That was cool.

01:04:07.000 Like Bruce Willis, you know, he's like defending his kid, his daughter.

01:04:10.000 She's like older now.

01:04:11.000 And then you look at Birds of Prey and it's like the best movie ever.

01:04:13.000 Sorry, hearing that in the same sentence just makes me laugh.

01:04:18.000 Couldn't hold it back.

01:04:18.000 To the critics.

01:04:20.000 They give Dave Chappelle... I think this is really funny too, because regular people are starting to notice this.

01:04:25.000 Dave Chappelle did a comedy special, and it gets panned by critics, and then Amy Schumer, it's like, everyone loved, and it's like, nah.

01:04:33.000 You just, look man, if you came out and said this game is good, this game is bad, people believe you, but the regular average American who's not politically initiated just saw you give Amy Schumer a thumbs up and started laughing, and they're like, now I know you're lying.

01:04:46.000 Yeah.

01:04:47.000 Yeah, nah, sorry man, Dave Chappelle is a master of his craft.

01:04:50.000 He really is.

01:04:51.000 He's a smart dude.

01:04:52.000 Yeah, he's funny, he's funny.

01:04:53.000 All right, let's read some more.

01:04:55.000 Where are we at?

01:04:56.000 Charmsuperior says, all Americans, please take some advice from a UK citizen.

01:04:59.000 Vote Republican.

01:05:00.000 Don't fall like us and cherish the freedom you have.

01:05:02.000 Wait, the UK voted overwhelmingly conservative in December.

01:05:06.000 Chisholm.

01:05:07.000 Adam, did you get a chance to check out anything I sent your way?

01:05:10.000 Sent you something on Plandemic and how triage actually works today.

01:05:13.000 More to come.

01:05:14.000 I did see that email.

01:05:16.000 And when I opened it, I saw a bunch of links and I was doing other things.

01:05:20.000 So I didn't have the time to dig into the links, but I definitely I'll check those out.

01:05:24.000 Thanks.

01:05:26.000 Hunter says, missed the chat last night.

01:05:28.000 Smash Bros is win.

01:05:29.000 Adam, if you like old school platformers, check out Hollow Knight.

01:05:32.000 Should do a playthrough.

01:05:34.000 You're not the first to tell me that actually.

01:05:36.000 It does look like a fun game.

01:05:36.000 Hollow Knight.

01:05:38.000 Thank you.

01:05:39.000 Yep.

01:05:39.000 Yes.

01:05:39.000 Boom.

01:05:39.000 Bike Master says, long time no chat.

01:05:41.000 Work has been crazy, keep on trucking, y'all.

01:05:43.000 Will do.

01:05:44.000 Yiz the eunuch.

01:05:44.000 Thank you.

01:05:45.000 It's not that I want left wing news to fail.

01:05:47.000 I want fake news to fail of all kinds.

01:05:50.000 I don't mind if outlets have bias as long as they do real journalism.

01:05:53.000 100% right there.

01:05:56.000 Yes.

01:05:57.000 It's not that I want left wing media to fail.

01:06:01.000 It's that I want them not to exist anymore.

01:06:06.000 No, I'm kidding.

01:06:07.000 Oh, you took it a little further.

01:06:08.000 That was the joke.

01:06:09.000 It's actually a Family Guy joke.

01:06:10.000 When Stewie's like, it's not that I want to kill Lois.

01:06:13.000 It's that I don't want her to be alive anymore.

01:06:15.000 Like, oh, okay.

01:06:17.000 Family Guy's great.

01:06:18.000 Yeah, it is.

01:06:19.000 Jesse, you know, referencing that, uh, the Family Guy episode the other day, where they walk just across the border and then, and then Quagmire says, for those that didn't hear it, they all walk across the border and don't realize.

01:06:30.000 And then Consuela, they're like, we need to get to America.

01:06:32.000 And Consuela goes, you're in America.

01:06:33.000 And they're like, what?

01:06:34.000 And she's like, yeah, you're in Texas.

01:06:35.000 And then Quagmire is like, wait a minute.

01:06:37.000 You mean we just walked across the border and we didn't even realize?

01:06:40.000 Like, that's a problem, right?

01:06:41.000 Politics aside, we can all recognize it's a problem.

01:06:44.000 And they look at him and then he just cuts.

01:06:46.000 Oh.

01:06:46.000 And I'm like.

01:06:47.000 Is Seth MacFarlane secretly, like, what was that joke?

01:06:53.000 Because that makes me laugh.

01:06:54.000 I'm sure it makes Trump supporters laugh.

01:06:56.000 It doesn't make resistance people laugh.

01:06:56.000 I'm sure, yeah.

01:06:58.000 That's a good point.

01:07:00.000 I don't know.

01:07:01.000 Who are they targeting?

01:07:02.000 But they've also, like, family guys ragged on SJWs a lot.

01:07:05.000 They have like a whole episode, I think.

01:07:07.000 Several episodes.

01:07:08.000 It wouldn't surprise me, yeah.

01:07:09.000 The Simpsons did it, where Mr. Burns goes to a college and then sees all of the college students and they're all SJWs.

01:07:17.000 And Mr. Burns is like, why am I paying for this?

01:07:18.000 I gave you all this money.

01:07:20.000 And then it turns out they're all robots and their heads explode or something. 0.99

01:07:23.000 Something ridiculous. 0.76

01:07:25.000 Family Guy did a whole episode where Brian tweets something offensive and the SJWs, you know, the mob shows up to his house and they're like throwing stuff at him. 0.51

01:07:33.000 So Seth gets it.

01:07:35.000 But he tweets stuff that's very much like generic resistance tweets.

01:07:38.000 I know, I see it.

01:07:39.000 It's a little cringy sometimes.

01:07:41.000 Maybe he just likes being rich and he's like, eh, I'm not going to get involved.

01:07:44.000 But then he puts it out through Family Guy.

01:07:45.000 That Quagmire thing was hilarious.

01:07:47.000 As long as he doesn't mess up Star Trek when he gets a hold of it.

01:07:50.000 I hope he does.

01:07:51.000 Get a hold of it.

01:07:52.000 Orville was amazing.

01:07:52.000 No, he won't.

01:07:53.000 I know I know he won't know he won't fix it up orville was amazing. Yes, I mean it was a great is amazing

01:07:58.000 Oh, yeah, I guess why I've seen it. I've watched them all so now it's yeah

01:08:02.000 I want more episodes.

01:08:03.000 I know, me too.

01:08:04.000 Where we at? 0.85

01:08:06.000 Jesse on fire says, did a vid about Cuomo getting caught with fake corona and comments I'm still getting are from dimwits that haven't googled to confirm it's true. 0.62

01:08:14.000 Bizarre.

01:08:15.000 That's why I always do my videos- I doubt he had it.

01:08:18.000 I didn't used to do my videos where it was always my face in the corner with the source, until people started taking the clips out of context and calling me a liar, and I was like, I'll just put this article on the screen full, and I'll read from it.

01:08:31.000 Clip that.

01:08:32.000 They still try.

01:08:32.000 Yeah, they still try, but it's obvious now.

01:08:34.000 Media Matters did it.

01:08:35.000 They were like, Tim Poole falsely claimed the Star Tribune said that Ilhan Omar may have married her brother, and it's my face like this, and then next to it it says, Ilhan Omar may have married her brother.

01:08:45.000 You can't do it!

01:08:46.000 It was their article.

01:08:47.000 Yeah, and so someone tried putting it on Wikipedia, and the editors were like, but the claim they make is next to an image of Tim Poole reading the paper that says, Helen Homer may have married her brother.

01:08:56.000 Yeah.

01:08:57.000 Like, he's not falsely asserting it, he's literally reading the newspaper.

01:09:00.000 They try, man.

01:09:01.000 That's why I do it that way now.

01:09:03.000 So that's why, you know, if you end up making a video about Cuomo, and you have the source on the screen, what are they going to say?

01:09:09.000 Yeah.

01:09:09.000 Unless they're, you know, they try.

01:09:11.000 Do you think he ever had it?

01:09:13.000 I don't think he ever had it.

01:09:14.000 You don't think Chris Cuomo had it?

01:09:15.000 Nope.

01:09:16.000 Did I say Andrew Cuomo or Chris Cuomo?

01:09:16.000 I don't think so.

01:09:18.000 Yeah.

01:09:19.000 I think so.

01:09:19.000 I don't think so.

01:09:20.000 I do.

01:09:21.000 Cool.

01:09:21.000 And I think they exploited it.

01:09:22.000 No, that was my question.

01:09:24.000 You answered.

01:09:24.000 That's all I needed.

01:09:26.000 That's all we needed.

01:09:28.000 Moving on.

01:09:28.000 Ooh, spicy!

01:09:29.000 Adam says maybe these journalists should learn to code Student of history says roses are red violets are blue then

01:09:29.000 Oh no.

01:09:38.000 we said the MSM what I'm not gonna read this I don't know what that means

01:09:42.000 Nope, sorry could be bad looks like Japanese maybe Biker Bob says Tim have you heard that Canada is going to 1.00

01:09:49.000 be used as a test subject for the Chinese woof Luke your Our Prime Minister admires the Chinese government.

01:09:54.000 Well, it's because they're testing a vaccine, I believe.

01:09:57.000 Yeah.

01:09:58.000 I'll wait a little bit.

01:10:01.000 I'm totally down for getting, you know, vaccines or whatever.

01:10:03.000 Like I mentioned, when you travel, you got to get a ton of shots like Hep A, typhoid, things like that.

01:10:09.000 But if we're rushing this through, I don't trust major corporations to get it right on the first try.

01:10:14.000 Agreed.

01:10:15.000 I don't want to be a guinea pig.

01:10:17.000 That's fair.

01:10:19.000 Two Rivers Lad says, in your main segment you mentioned unmasking Flynn.

01:10:22.000 What does that mean?

01:10:23.000 I thought he was always a public figure.

01:10:26.000 Is this kind of like a Voldemort thing?

01:10:28.000 This was one of the, today was a long day.

01:10:30.000 Took a while to get done.

01:10:31.000 Because I was trying, you know, doing this video talking about the Obamagate and the unmasking of Flynn is very, very difficult because most people don't know what unmasking means.

01:10:39.000 So I'll give you a quick breakdown for, you know, to answer your question.

01:10:43.000 When the U.S.

01:10:43.000 is spying on foreign adversaries or foreign individuals, whatever, just foreign people, They're not allowed to publish the names of Americans because Americans have a Fourth Amendment right.

01:10:55.000 Oh, I'm here.

01:10:56.000 Americans have a Fourth Amendment right.

01:10:57.000 So when the FISA courts, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the courts, say, like, we're gonna, you know, spy on this Kislyak guy, this Russian, Then they get a document that says Kislyak said this, U.S.

01:11:10.000 person said this.

01:11:11.000 Unmasking is when they request U.S.

01:11:13.000 person's name be published for them, not necessarily to the public.

01:11:17.000 Not to the public.

01:11:18.000 So when Joe Biden made an unmasking request, what was basically happening was he was seeking to find out the name of a private American citizen that would help him understand the context of this phone call.

01:11:31.000 A lot of conservatives are upset because the unmasking was seen as abuse.

01:11:34.000 The conversation between the Russian ambassador and Michael Flynn was not in any way suspect.

01:11:39.000 An incoming national security advisor reaching out to a foreign diplomat and saying, hey, we're gonna have conversations, let's keep everything chill, is completely normal.

01:11:46.000 And even the Washington Post, who published his name, said this is what he should have been doing.

01:11:51.000 So why then did so many people in the Obama administration seek to unmask the name of this individual communicating legally and correctly With the Russian ambassador.

01:12:02.000 More importantly, who leaked it to the press?

01:12:02.000 That's what people are asking.

01:12:05.000 And why did Obama have a meeting about it on January 5th, a day after the FBI moved to close the case and then struck intervene to reopen it?

01:12:13.000 A day later, Obama, Biden, Comey, Sally Yates, Susan Rice, a bunch of people have this meeting where Obama gives them guidance.

01:12:19.000 Susan Rice writes this really weird email like we're just doing everything by the book.

01:12:24.000 To herself.

01:12:24.000 To herself?

01:12:26.000 And then on the 12th, Flynn's name gets leaked to the press from the Obama administration.

01:12:31.000 And on the 24th, the FBI writes down in notes, you know, why are we doing this?

01:12:34.000 Do we want to prosecute him or get him fired?

01:12:37.000 Why would the FBI be seeking to get somebody fired?

01:12:39.000 Unless it was true that the point of this was to sabotage the Trump administration coming

01:12:45.000 So here's what I tell people.

01:12:47.000 I have a lot of conversations about Obamagate and I say straight up, you want to be very, very careful about what you assert, right?

01:12:55.000 So a bunch of conservatives have said straight up, Obama was trying to sabotage Trump.

01:13:00.000 That's hard to prove definitively, but what you can say is, The FBI was trying to get a Trump administration official fired.

01:13:07.000 Ask that question.

01:13:08.000 That's your wedge in the door.

01:13:10.000 The door's not open, but you hit that wedge there.

01:13:12.000 I want that question answered.

01:13:14.000 Why did the FBI say, we have no derogatory information on Michael Flynn, then Peter Strzok intervenes and says, no, no, no, we'll keep it open.

01:13:22.000 Then in this meeting with Obama, a day later, they cite the Logan Act, a law that's never been used before, which is archaic, to go after Flynn.

01:13:30.000 His name then gets leaked to the press.

01:13:31.000 Here's my personal opinion.

01:13:34.000 The FBI is going to close the investigation.

01:13:37.000 Peter Strzok intervenes.

01:13:39.000 In the meeting with Obama, Comey mentions the Logan Act.

01:13:42.000 They then start basically going after Flynn on the Logan Act.

01:13:46.000 In the Washington Post article that finally published Flynn's name, they do also mention the Logan Act.

01:13:52.000 I think that ceded the information to Flynn, who panicked, And then in a informal meeting, ended up lying about what

01:13:59.000 The FBI used that against him.

01:13:59.000 he had said.

01:14:01.000 And they said in their notes, is it to get him fired or prosecute him?

01:14:05.000 Or, you know, what are we doing here?

01:14:06.000 So it seems like it was kind of a setup.

01:14:09.000 It seems like Flynn may have made a mistake, but it seems like they were going after him.

01:14:12.000 He panicked.

01:14:13.000 And then, look, perjury, like Obama claimed it was perjury.

01:14:17.000 If it was perjury, that would have been under oath in a formal investigation.

01:14:21.000 Flynn—this was not the case.

01:14:22.000 Apparently, it was an informal meeting at the White House, and they were like, ah, we got you now.

01:14:26.000 You lied.

01:14:27.000 Why was he unmasked in the first place?

01:14:29.000 The FBI said no derogatory information.

01:14:31.000 What was their reasoning for extending this and trying to use a law that's never been used before?

01:14:36.000 Stands to reason.

01:14:37.000 Malintent.

01:14:39.000 However, all you really need to say, if anyone's asking, is why did the FBI want to try and get Flynn fired?

01:14:46.000 That doesn't make sense.

01:14:47.000 That is not what the law enforcement agencies are supposed to be doing.

01:14:51.000 After that, there's some serious questions that need to be asked.

01:14:54.000 If the FBI was trying to get Flynn fired, then why did Joe Biden seek to unmask the name of Michael Flynn?

01:15:01.000 I'm not going to make any accusations against Joe Biden.

01:15:03.000 I don't know why he made, on January 12th, the same day the name got leaked to the press.

01:15:08.000 I don't know.

01:15:09.000 But I think it's grounds for some questions, maybe some written testimony or something.

01:15:15.000 There was no grounds, we now know, for the Russiagate investigation.

01:15:19.000 If that was the basis for a sound investigation, according to many of these resistance anti-Donald Trump types, then we also have substantially more grounds for an investigation in the other direction.

01:15:30.000 I am not thrilled about the incoming Lindsey Graham hearings that's going to be happening.

01:15:36.000 To me, that sounds like it's going to be boring.

01:15:39.000 I am interested to know what they were doing and why they were doing it.

01:15:42.000 And the only thing I can really say is it would be, in my opinion, improper of me to argue that Donald Trump shouldn't have his own special counsel to investigate why this, you know, fictitious claim was levied against him, why for three years these individuals who had no evidence, who admitted under oath they had no evidence, were lying about him.

01:16:00.000 I wonder if at the very least there's a defamation charge that could be levied.

01:16:03.000 But if I entertained Russiagate for years, and I did, Then it would be unfair for me to say we should not have an investigation to dig into the origins of this.

01:16:12.000 There's a few really important points.

01:16:14.000 One is that the dossier they used as a large portion of their pretext to start the Russia collusion investigation into Trump, which ultimately turned up nothing, was seeded with Russian disinformation.

01:16:25.000 Even socialist magazine Jacobin has said the Democrats were pushing Russian propaganda.

01:16:31.000 We really need to understand why that happened.

01:16:34.000 So we've got the John Durham investigation, which is now a criminal probe.

01:16:37.000 They're going to be investigating a lot of things.

01:16:39.000 Maybe there'll be indictments.

01:16:40.000 I honestly don't know.

01:16:41.000 The Horwitz report proved FISA abuse.

01:16:43.000 This proved Devin Nunes was right.

01:16:46.000 And now we're going to hear about... We're going to have Lindsey Graham's... Did I say Lindsey Graham?

01:16:52.000 It's Lindsey Graham who's going to be doing these panels. 1.00

01:16:55.000 I don't trust that guy.

01:16:56.000 We'll see how this plays out.

01:16:57.000 But anyway, long story short, Perhaps these resistance people shouldn't have asked for

01:17:04.000 these, set these rules in play.

01:17:08.000 This was the grounds for which they said we should have a special counsel investigation

01:17:13.000 into the Trump administration.

01:17:15.000 And now we have more evidence to suggest that Barack Obama was involved, to what degree

01:17:19.000 we don't know.

01:17:21.000 Some people are arguing that's a bigger scandal than Watergate because Obama knew about this

01:17:24.000 when he shouldn't have.

01:17:25.000 His own chief of staff sought unmasking of a political rival.

01:17:28.000 It's very, very, very complicated.

01:17:31.000 But at the very least, there is more evidence to suggest wrongdoing here than there was in the Russia investigation.

01:17:36.000 If we all entertained Russia, it would only be fair to entertain something in the other direction. 0.99

01:17:40.000 I don't like the hearings.

01:17:41.000 I think they're boring.

01:17:42.000 I think they're bad for this country.

01:17:44.000 But if that's what we're going to get, then so be it.

01:17:47.000 The left, Biden, Me Too, all that stuff, they argued for all these rules, and they got the rules they asked for.

01:17:53.000 They said, you know, believe all women.

01:17:55.000 Now that it's affecting Joe Biden, they're throwing it out the window.

01:17:57.000 I'm not going to play that game.

01:17:59.000 If you put the Republicans and the conservatives through this whole thing and the Trump supporters, and the Trump supporters say, okay, now it's only fair that we get our investigation, what's the argument?

01:18:06.000 Yeah, I'm sorry, that's the case.

01:18:08.000 So, this turned into something a lot longer based on the question of unmasking, but there, I got it all out.

01:18:13.000 That was a valid question.

01:18:14.000 It was tough earlier today because trying to do a segment that walks everyone through, it was like, it would have been three hours.

01:18:22.000 Like, I started and stopped so often because I'm like, man, I gotta explain how the FISA courts work, the FISA abuse, 2012, 2011, NASA, NSA, FBI.

01:18:29.000 And you even said nobody knows what unmasking is.

01:18:32.000 Yep.

01:18:32.000 Oh my gosh.

01:18:33.000 Yeah, well I'm glad you had a chance to explain it though.

01:18:35.000 So maybe that will be its own segment.

01:18:37.000 Let's read questions again.

01:18:37.000 We'll see how that plays out.

01:18:38.000 Oh yeah, I was chatting with the chat.

01:18:40.000 I was just hanging out.

01:18:41.000 Just chilling.

01:18:41.000 That works.

01:18:42.000 Lindsey Graham, I don't think we'll end up doing anything, so we'll see how things play out.

01:18:46.000 Jamie says, thanks for not being fake news.

01:18:48.000 I always think you're as, you're an objective as you're, you're as objective as possible.

01:18:52.000 Here's some money.

01:18:53.000 I really appreciate it.

01:18:54.000 I try to just be like, I don't, I don't care if Trump wins or loses.

01:18:54.000 Nice.

01:18:58.000 I really don't.

01:18:59.000 I don't like the idea of buying.

01:19:00.000 I don't like the idea of Hillary Clinton, but in 2016, when it was like Trump versus Hillary, I don't care.

01:19:05.000 I really don't.

01:19:06.000 And so when it comes to who's right and who's wrong.

01:19:09.000 I think you might've said to me in 2015 sometime that you would prefer Trump winning.

01:19:16.000 But the only reason you said is because it would be great for news.

01:19:21.000 You're like, I just will enjoy watching it happen.

01:19:24.000 Light it all on fire.

01:19:26.000 The one thing I said all the time in 2015 was, if you like the status quo, Yeah.

01:19:26.000 No, no.

01:19:32.000 Then you want to vote for Hillary Clinton.

01:19:33.000 The war, the intervention, and the American economy, like the way the machine was churning, it was enriching a lot of elites.

01:19:33.000 Right.

01:19:41.000 And I was like, but if you want, you know, it's a long spiel I used to go on to people, like if you want to see either a complete disruption of the system, a challenge to the status quo, or you want to see America, like, It's basically Hillary Clinton was the interventionist candidate.

01:19:58.000 Yeah.

01:19:58.000 You know, so it's like if you like everything we're doing overseas, the Middle East, the oil exploration, the seizing of, you know, the deposing foreign governments and things like, you know, removing foreign governments and stuff, Hillary Clinton was your choice.

01:20:09.000 Oh, politics.

01:20:10.000 Yeah.

01:20:11.000 But if you wanted something different or you want to watch the world burn, you vote for Trump.

01:20:15.000 Yeah.

01:20:16.000 But Trump is, you know, I think my assessment back then was actually incorrect because Trump really bolstered America and like made it work really well.

01:20:22.000 Yeah.

01:20:23.000 I didn't expect, I didn't see that coming.

01:20:25.000 I wasn't going to vote, I don't care though.

01:20:26.000 So what ends up happening is a story will come out and I'm like, it is what it is.

01:20:30.000 Like the Republicans voting for the most part to block the amendment that would stop spying on browser history.

01:20:36.000 That's complete BS.

01:20:36.000 Yeah.

01:20:38.000 I'm like, why would I vote for these people?

01:20:40.000 It was mostly Democrats who voted to remove that power.

01:20:44.000 I don't like the Democrats either, though. 0.99

01:20:45.000 I hate them all. 1.00

01:20:45.000 F them all. 1.00

01:20:47.000 Alright, alright.

01:20:48.000 Here we go.

01:20:49.000 Oh, thanks.

01:20:49.000 Bye.

01:20:50.000 I don't know anything about Blink-182 or what this is.

01:20:52.000 loved Lids Blink-182 shirt. Want to know everyone's thoughts on the albums California and 9.

01:20:59.000 Rumor has it Tom DeLonge may return. Lids gets two Super Chats.

01:21:03.000 Oh, thanks.

01:21:04.000 I don't know anything about Blink-182 or what this is. Do you?

01:21:06.000 Tom DeLonge was on Joe Rogan talking about the aliens.

01:21:09.000 He was the one who got that Navy footage released.

01:21:12.000 So he kind of got in trouble, I think.

01:21:15.000 Didn't they come down on him for releasing the alien footage?

01:21:18.000 I don't know.

01:21:18.000 Yeah, he caused all sorts of trouble.

01:21:20.000 But yeah, both those albums were okay.

01:21:22.000 Nine was better than California.

01:21:23.000 Cool.

01:21:23.000 That's my take.

01:21:25.000 SMU says, a little thanks to all of you for sifting through all the news on a daily basis, I'm assuming?

01:21:31.000 P.S.

01:21:31.000 Stay awesome!

01:21:32.000 Not enough praise for Soy Jesus! 0.58

01:21:33.000 Harumph, I say!

01:21:34.000 Thank you.

01:21:35.000 Harumph! 1.00

01:21:35.000 Thank you very much. 1.00

01:21:36.000 Jared says, from Wisconsin here, when tyranny becomes law, revolution becomes duty.

01:21:40.000 Small bars are in almost every town and important to all rural economies.

01:21:44.000 Decent place to live if you stay north of Milwaukee.

01:21:47.000 Kim, thanks for becoming a member.

01:21:49.000 TheRedBikeMaster says, what's the price of China, Jerno? 0.98

01:21:52.000 What is the price of China?

01:21:53.000 I don't know.

01:21:54.000 Stargate says, Babylon Bee just published an article.

01:21:57.000 CNN replaces President Trump's press briefings with President Xi's.

01:22:01.000 Whoever made Babylon Bee is hilarious.

01:22:03.000 That is amazing.

01:22:03.000 Oh my gosh, I love them.

01:22:04.000 Yeah, Babylon Bee is hilarious.

01:22:05.000 Excellent.

01:22:05.000 Oh man.

01:22:06.000 So true.

01:22:07.000 New Dayz says, would you ever think about making more calm voice TimCast videos like you used to?

01:22:12.000 Soothing.

01:22:13.000 Soothing?

01:22:13.000 Like ASMR?

01:22:14.000 Yeah.

01:22:14.000 I just, I just... A calm quiet time.

01:22:17.000 I think that was an issue of like... Mellow Tim.

01:22:19.000 You get more and more into it, you get better, you get more comfortable, you get more confident.

01:22:22.000 And, you know, I don't know.

01:22:22.000 Yeah.

01:22:23.000 I definitely feel more comfortable here than when we first started.

01:22:26.000 Yeah, you get into it and you get more excited and exuberant.

01:22:28.000 And sitting in your seat definitely helped me when you were gone.

01:22:32.000 AdamCast.

01:22:32.000 Yeah.

01:22:34.000 Yeah, makes a difference.

01:22:35.000 Let's see.

01:22:36.000 Kim Ruddy says, I take my breaks at the hospital around your uploads.

01:22:40.000 I appreciate the hard work.

01:22:41.000 Thank you.

01:22:42.000 Ryan Walker says, 30% of UK economy vanishing by July and furlough extended till October.

01:22:47.000 Being economic suicide, the Tories need to start prioritizing the economy now.

01:22:52.000 Absolutely, otherwise they're going to get blamed for it.

01:22:54.000 True.

01:22:54.000 Connor Greenwell says, thank you for all what you do.

01:22:58.000 It seems any opinion contrary to media gets demonized.

01:23:02.000 How does one communicate with the ideologically possessed?

01:23:05.000 That's a question we were asking a couple days ago.

01:23:07.000 I have no idea, man.

01:23:08.000 Exactly.

01:23:08.000 They don't care about the truth.

01:23:09.000 Nope.

01:23:11.000 Chris Pivoto says, hi all.

01:23:13.000 For your video, why people are still in CA.

01:23:15.000 Why fed military service?

01:23:17.000 We hope to move in a few years after nurse school.

01:23:19.000 CA's son is good to our youngest with down syndrome.

01:23:23.000 California's got great weather, man, but their government is a nightmare.

01:23:26.000 Yeah, it's a scary place.

01:23:28.000 Christopher says, so which comment gets this demonetized first, Circle of Jerks or Bill Cosby?

01:23:33.000 Circle of Jerks.

01:23:35.000 They were both good fun.

01:23:38.000 That one threw me off.

01:23:39.000 I wasn't expecting it.

01:23:41.000 Funny, though.

01:23:42.000 Chris says, nice hard flip, buddy.

01:23:45.000 Yes, if you go to the YouTube channel youtube.com slash Bragic, B-R-A-G-I-C, and search for me, I got a couple videos over my buddy Bragic.

01:23:53.000 So old, though.

01:23:54.000 Don't you hardflip, lateflip now?

01:23:57.000 The one from three years ago where I do a hardflip, lateflip.

01:23:59.000 And then I've got another one where I do a hang ten hardflip, lateflip, which is crazy.

01:23:59.000 Oh, that's that one.

01:24:04.000 It's a nollie half, half like endo, late halfflip.

01:24:07.000 It's a weird trick.

01:24:08.000 Yeah, cool.

01:24:09.000 All the crazy street tricks.

01:24:10.000 Steven says Tim are you open to sharing fan art? I have ideas for the three of you

01:24:15.000 I can promise the art won't be homoerotic for you and Lydia can't promise that forever 0.99

01:24:38.000 He's looking forward to it.

01:24:40.000 He'll put it on the wall.

01:24:41.000 I can't wait.

01:24:42.000 I won't put it on the wall.

01:24:43.000 Why not?

01:24:46.000 Right here.

01:24:46.000 I'm assuming it'll be tasteful.

01:24:50.000 Alright, let's read.

01:24:53.000 Iron Zeppelin says, down with the fascist media.

01:24:56.000 Agreed!

01:24:57.000 David Palmer says, will Ian Crossland ever come back?

01:24:59.000 He will!

01:25:00.000 Cosmic Garth.

01:25:02.000 Yeah, we're trying to figure out... Adam will probably take over a certain night or something.

01:25:09.000 We're working on it, but you're probably going to do your own show anyway, too.

01:25:11.000 Yeah, I think that's more the plan.

01:25:12.000 Yeah, like, what do you think, same setup, just on your own channel?

01:25:15.000 Yeah, and then you and Ian and whoever else you have and things like that, you should probably just start doing it.

01:25:15.000 Yeah, probably.

01:25:21.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:25:22.000 All right.

01:25:22.000 Yeah.

01:25:23.000 Chrissy says, would love to hear your thoughts on cop who got fired for video on constitutional rights being infringed.

01:25:29.000 Sounds like a really good dude.

01:25:31.000 Sounds like a really good dude.

01:25:31.000 Agreed.

01:25:32.000 Is that the guy in Oregon or Washington or something?

01:25:32.000 Honorable man.

01:25:34.000 Washington.

01:25:35.000 Washington.

01:25:35.000 And he said, you got to stand with the, you know, you got to defend the constitution.

01:25:38.000 And they came to him and said, take the video down.

01:25:40.000 And they fired him.

01:25:40.000 He says, I will not.

01:25:42.000 Wow.

01:25:42.000 Well, that dude's a good dude.

01:25:44.000 And I hope more cops agree the Constitution is, you swear an oath to it, you know?

01:25:48.000 Yeah.

01:25:49.000 Isaac says, Adam, get a Manscaped sponsor.

01:25:51.000 They'll love you.

01:25:53.000 You could start doing the show and then get like Dollar Shave Club.

01:25:55.000 Who do I call?

01:25:56.000 I don't know.

01:25:57.000 They call you.

01:25:58.000 Is that how it works?

01:25:59.000 You're gonna lug this one, Adam.

01:26:01.000 Charlemagne says, Wheel of Time is one of the best series that I've ever read.

01:26:04.000 I have read the series two times.

01:26:07.000 The Stormlight Archive is also really good.

01:26:08.000 I'm in my second run right now.

01:26:11.000 Actually, on the way here, when we were driving here, we were listening to the first book in the audiobook.

01:26:15.000 And I was just like, man, this is a good book.

01:26:15.000 Yeah?

01:26:18.000 I remember it all now.

01:26:19.000 How old is it?

01:26:20.000 It started in the 90s, I think, and ended four years ago?

01:26:25.000 Yeah, four years ago, I think.

01:26:27.000 Four years ago?

01:26:28.000 I'll check it out.

01:26:28.000 Yeah.

01:26:28.000 It's really long.

01:26:30.000 It's like 14 books long.

01:26:30.000 It's really long.

01:26:31.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:26:32.000 Okay, maybe not.

01:26:33.000 A thousand pages each.

01:26:35.000 And it's pretty slow, but once you let the images take over, you know, when you're reading, it just goes right through, yeah.

01:26:42.000 Cracklin says, with all the loaded questions, false premises, and outright lying, the leftist media is bound to get the black lung pops.

01:26:50.000 Yeah.

01:26:51.000 Mark Robertshaw says, the major problem with true immortality, like, unable to die, at all, is that gravity wells will be the ultimate trap.

01:26:58.000 That's how you deal with immortal beings.

01:27:00.000 Throw them into the sun, or a black hole. 0.99

01:27:02.000 Yeah, that would suck. 0.95

01:27:04.000 Just like trapped in the sun forever.

01:27:05.000 We should probably move it along.

01:27:07.000 Move it along?

01:27:08.000 Yeah, 9.30.

01:27:09.000 Let's do the last segment.

01:27:10.000 You want to jump to the last?

01:27:11.000 Well, no, you can jump along to the end and then we'll jump to the last segment.

01:27:15.000 Okay, so we're going to speed things up.

01:27:17.000 Adam is basically saying, just to cut everybody off, and he's ordering you now.

01:27:21.000 Well, I'm doing what you'd normally do.

01:27:22.000 I'm kidding, I'm just putting the blame on you so that I can pretend like it's not my fault.

01:27:26.000 Sure.

01:27:26.000 Adam, fine.

01:27:27.000 You're making me do this.

01:27:29.000 I'm so sorry, everybody.

01:27:30.000 You know what?

01:27:31.000 Read them all.

01:27:31.000 No!

01:27:32.000 No, no, I'm fine with it!

01:27:33.000 Read it all!

01:27:34.000 Sorry if we can't get to your comments.

01:27:37.000 We go on tangents here on the show.

01:27:38.000 Little bit, little bit.

01:27:39.000 We're going to speed things up, so apologies.

01:27:41.000 John Perry says, F the New England area, they're lost in lefty wonderland and an unnatural business.

01:27:48.000 Rest yes, some big one will survive, but the less managed ones will go under and or be taken over by the new ones.

01:27:56.000 John Perry then goes on to say, I drive semis, so I see it more than most.

01:27:59.000 Austin Laverty says, Tim talking with his bosses when leaving the corporate media. 0.98

01:28:03.000 Kill me or release me, parasite, but do not waste my time with talk. 0.99

01:28:07.000 Indeed. 1.00

01:28:07.000 Absolutely. 1.00

01:28:08.000 That's kind of what I said.

01:28:10.000 I said to the president of this company, I was like, why am I here?

01:28:12.000 This is what your plan is.

01:28:14.000 You're wasting money.

01:28:14.000 I should just leave.

01:28:15.000 And they were like, no, no, no, no, no.

01:28:16.000 They didn't want the bad press.

01:28:18.000 So they dropped a huge, ridiculous paycheck in my bank account, hoping that would shut me up or something. 0.87

01:28:23.000 Golden handcuffs.

01:28:24.000 John Hill says, I've been watching Tim every day since 2017, and I'm pretty sure my conscience is just a version of Tim.

01:28:30.000 What the hell are you doing? 1.00

01:28:31.000 Don't be a moron. 1.00

01:28:32.000 P.S. 1.00

01:28:32.000 Adam was right. 1.00

01:28:33.000 I freaked out when you said, Hi John, live.

01:28:36.000 Yes.

01:28:38.000 Yep.

01:28:38.000 Called it.

01:28:39.000 David Palmer says, I live in Los Angeles.

01:28:41.000 Feels like the homeless has tripled.

01:28:43.000 I think it's because so many people have been released from jail.

01:28:47.000 Yeah, that's probably a good point.

01:28:48.000 That doesn't make sense.

01:28:49.000 LaSalle says, Barney did not even vote.

01:28:52.000 Yeah, he didn't, I guess.

01:28:54.000 Vash says, 80-16, Sanders was on the no list.

01:28:57.000 Paul was.

01:28:59.000 Yep.

01:28:59.000 Bernie didn't do it.

01:29:00.000 Bernie was on the no list?

01:29:01.000 That's what Barney is.

01:29:02.000 Bernie.

01:29:03.000 Bernie didn't vote.

01:29:04.000 Right, but this is a- Oh yeah, that's right, Bernie was abstained from, like, two of these votes.

01:29:08.000 Yep.

01:29:09.000 Wait, so Rand Paul was on the right side, right?

01:29:11.000 I'm assuming.

01:29:12.000 On the 16th?

01:29:12.000 I'm sure.

01:29:13.000 I would assume so, yeah.

01:29:13.000 Was not on the no-list.

01:29:14.000 Yeah, Paul was on the no-list, right.

01:29:15.000 Mm-hmm.

01:29:16.000 Rand Paul is, like, one of the- He's a rock.

01:29:19.000 Yeah, well, he's Ron Paul's kid, man.

01:29:22.000 I appreciate him.

01:29:22.000 He's his own man, but, yeah, he's amazing.

01:29:25.000 Yes!

01:29:25.000 It's really good.

01:29:26.000 If you liked Wheel of Time, you'll love Sword of Truth.

01:29:29.000 first time when I was in sixth grade. I'm going to check out Sword of Truth due to Soy

01:29:32.000 Jesus' recommendation.

01:29:33.000 Yes! It's really good. If you like Wheel of Time, you'll love Sword of Truth. Man, that

01:29:38.000 was a good series.

01:29:39.000 Jim Wattari says, for bird feed.

01:29:42.000 We do need bird feed, actually.

01:29:43.000 No, we don't.

01:29:44.000 We have a lot?

01:29:44.000 No, we don't.

01:29:45.000 We have two massive bags.

01:29:46.000 We just need to put the thing back up.

01:29:47.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:29:48.000 we're good on the feet send us money for bird bird feed

01:29:52.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:29:55.000 Ryokan says the Wisconsin governor didn't follow the state law to extend the shutdown.

01:29:59.000 The governor had to consult the state legislature to extend the shutdown more than 30 days.

01:30:02.000 He never did.

01:30:03.000 That's why it was unconstitutional.

01:30:05.000 And now he's crying about it.

01:30:06.000 So, thanks for joining.

01:30:07.000 Thank you.

01:30:09.000 Wolfenkin says in Australia it's compulsory to vote or be fined 50 bucks.

01:30:14.000 Would you pay the fine or vote for Trump?

01:30:19.000 The main thing is right now I've laid out there's a bunch of really good reasons to vote for Trump.

01:30:23.000 The main reason I'm saying I'm just not completely sure is because there's a long time between now and then and I don't want to be like I'm very reticent to support literally anybody.

01:30:32.000 Anybody.

01:30:33.000 It's like I mentioned after Obama being like hope and change and I'm like yes Obama and then he's like no I just blew up a bunch of kids and I'm like Eggman says, I legit don't get people who are for the lockdown.

01:30:42.000 Do they not have loved ones to feed?

01:30:43.000 We'll see.

01:30:44.000 You know.

01:30:45.000 But if it came down to it, like on the day of, I could vote for a bunch of different

01:30:49.000 people.

01:30:50.000 You don't gotta vote just for Trump.

01:30:51.000 So I'd vote.

01:30:52.000 Who knows?

01:30:53.000 Eggman says, I legit don't get people who are for the lockdown.

01:30:57.000 Do they not have loved ones to feed?

01:30:59.000 Are they not concerned about their rapidly draining bank account?

01:31:02.000 We shouldn't even need to be explaining this.

01:31:04.000 No, it's because they don't understand how economics works and they think the government just like snaps their fingers and food appears.

01:31:09.000 They think the government can just print money and put in their pocket and they can buy food.

01:31:13.000 They don't seem to realize that if you don't make stuff, there's no stuff to buy.

01:31:15.000 Yep.

01:31:16.000 That's what they don't get.

01:31:17.000 That's why socialism doesn't work.

01:31:18.000 Charles says, air rifles have gotten very advanced.

01:31:21.000 If you have the money, you can get air rifles that can be used to hunt water buffalo.

01:31:25.000 Wow!

01:31:26.000 Wow.

01:31:26.000 Several states have recently added certain air rifles to take deer.

01:31:30.000 Amazing.

01:31:31.000 John Perry says, If I whistle in my woods, the woods whistle back, and my city friends didn't get it till my three buddy came out of the woods and scared them and I said, let Antifa and the cops come here and try to take my rights.

01:31:45.000 BlackRockBeacon says, I'm in PA and I'm looking to leave after the last state election cycle.

01:31:49.000 And now this lockdown BS.

01:31:51.000 I'm looking at land in northern Florida.

01:31:53.000 There is an old hotel for sale in Jasper you could convert into a studio complex.

01:31:58.000 That's cool.

01:32:00.000 Florida.

01:32:01.000 Nah, too hot.

01:32:02.000 Not for me.

01:32:03.000 Not a big fan of Florida.

01:32:04.000 Joel says, Will you ever open up an Australian arm?

01:32:06.000 We badly need honest commentators here, as we just lost our most prominent voice on radio, Alan Jones, who has been on top for 35 years.

01:32:15.000 There is a market.

01:32:16.000 Let me know.

01:32:16.000 Connections here.

01:32:17.000 I don't know anything about Australia.

01:32:18.000 If you could get your spiders under control, I would totally move there.

01:32:22.000 That'd be so cool.

01:32:23.000 Oblividan says, I'm using my Trump bucks on a new gun.

01:32:26.000 Here's some bucks for you to do the same.

01:32:28.000 I recommend a Mossberg 590, but you should get what you're comfortable with.

01:32:32.000 I really like the placement of the safety on the 590, though.

01:32:35.000 Well, we'll do.

01:32:36.000 We'll figure things out, but I'm looking at other states.

01:32:38.000 One of the reasons, because Bitcoin, beers, and... What's a B word for guns?

01:32:44.000 I don't know, you got three Bs, right?

01:32:46.000 BB guns?

01:32:47.000 No.

01:32:48.000 Not powerful enough.

01:32:49.000 Yeah, what's a, what's a, I don't know, bazookas.

01:32:51.000 Oh, there you go.

01:32:52.000 There you go.

01:32:53.000 Bitcoin, beer, and bazookas.

01:32:53.000 There you go.

01:32:54.000 Uh, I was thinking Beretta.

01:32:56.000 Beretta, there you go.

01:32:57.000 One of the reasons I'm looking at other locations is just better rights.

01:33:01.000 So we've looked at some states, but we also like, if we have guests, then it's the airport is mandatory.

01:33:07.000 You know, like having people who can come.

01:33:09.000 That's why Texas might be good, but I don't know, man.

01:33:12.000 We'll see how things play out.

01:33:13.000 Likefrylikefry says, you can have chicken and ducks on Long Island, New York.

01:33:17.000 Of course, if the S hits the fan, got to grab a boat or swim.

01:33:22.000 But we do have a lot of farms here.

01:33:23.000 I like chickens.

01:33:24.000 Skullboy says, not much to say, just keep up the good work.

01:33:27.000 Fight the good fight.

01:33:28.000 Thank you.

01:33:28.000 Will do.

01:33:29.000 Boomsticks.

01:33:30.000 There it is, boomstick.

01:33:32.000 Yeah, boomstick. 0.51

01:33:33.000 Old school boomstick.

01:33:33.000 I like it.

01:33:35.000 Bobcat says, you should go to Texas and get some cows so you can stop being all hat and no cattle.

01:33:40.000 Also, when are you going to talk about the Vela incident?

01:33:43.000 Well, I think that's something... We looked into it.

01:33:45.000 It's just a big flash.

01:33:46.000 Well, Lydia also looked into it a little bit.

01:33:49.000 It seemed minor.

01:33:50.000 I didn't see enough information.

01:33:51.000 It was like a big flash over the ocean or something that no one could explain.

01:33:56.000 It's like, okay.

01:33:58.000 I'll look at it some more tomorrow.

01:34:00.000 I mean, it could have been an asteroid that blew up in the atmosphere.

01:34:03.000 Yeah, it's happened in Russia.

01:34:04.000 Yeah, it just happened last year in Russia.

01:34:06.000 There's a lot of videos of that stuff.

01:34:08.000 It's not... I don't know.

01:34:10.000 Here we go.

01:34:11.000 Mr. Laxative says, if you're still into magic, look up the Red Enchantment's Repercussion and Furnace of Wrath.

01:34:17.000 You will quadruple any damage you do.

01:34:19.000 It's a match made in Burndeck Heaven, though it's a double-edged sword.

01:34:24.000 Yeah, if you can get them out under the right circumstances.

01:34:26.000 Yeah, but I mean, is that even... Yeah, that's enchantment, so it's not even... Like, even commander would be difficult to pull off.

01:34:33.000 Yeah, Furnace of Wrath has, like, four red symbols also, so you really need, like, a heavy red deck to play it.

01:34:38.000 I don't know exactly what it is, but something like that.

01:34:41.000 José Juan Isaac Tavares says, Milk Toast gets the money, which means Milk Toast adapts to the market, advocates free speech, maintains left-right viewership because of honest, authentic journalism.

01:34:51.000 You do you, Tim.

01:34:52.000 Actually interesting, I think the biggest, I mentioned this before we did a poll, the biggest group is libertarian.

01:34:57.000 But it's not, it's not right libertarian, it's just like general libertarian.

01:35:00.000 Yeah, okay.

01:35:01.000 So it's basically people just saying, freedom.

01:35:03.000 And so the more I'm like, I don't know about them policies, but freedom, everyone's like, here, here.

01:35:07.000 Yeah.

01:35:08.000 You make a good point, though, Tim.

01:35:10.000 We can disagree on the policies, but just don't tell me what to do.

01:35:12.000 Freedom.

01:35:13.000 Freedom!

01:35:13.000 I like my freedom.

01:35:14.000 Absolutely.

01:35:15.000 It's Quinn Drum says, big fan from Australia, love the work you guys do.

01:35:18.000 What kind of skateboards do you guys own?

01:35:21.000 I have so many.

01:35:22.000 Yes, too many.

01:35:24.000 No, I don't have too many.

01:35:26.000 I do have a lot.

01:35:27.000 I was a professional skater for a while.

01:35:28.000 I even designed my own board for Arbor Skateboards, so I have a few of those.

01:35:33.000 That's like my go-to longboard that I ride.

01:35:35.000 It's a really good board.

01:35:37.000 And, uh, yeah.

01:35:38.000 Then I started really getting into, like, classical skateboarding, and now I own too many of those.

01:35:45.000 Too many?

01:35:45.000 Yeah.

01:35:46.000 The board I use is a real 8.5 by 31.75 with Indy Trucks, I believe they're 144.

01:35:53.000 The trucks to fit an 8.5.

01:35:55.000 I got some Bones Swiss and Ricta 54s.

01:36:00.000 I think I got a Jessup grip.

01:36:02.000 No, actually, I think I have Mob Grip on that board.

01:36:05.000 I don't know.

01:36:05.000 Hmm.

01:36:06.000 No idea.

01:36:06.000 Yeah, I love deluxe distribution boards.

01:36:09.000 I like anti-hero, real.

01:36:10.000 That's what I use.

01:36:11.000 Yeah.

01:36:12.000 Let's see, where we at?

01:36:13.000 Joel says, will you ever open up an Australian arm?

01:36:15.000 We badly need honest commentators here.

01:36:17.000 I think this was, you mentioned this before, and I read that, but that's a duplicate.

01:36:22.000 The Grizzly says Polygon decried racism because you shoot black people in the new Cyberpunk game.

01:36:28.000 The creator of the game is black and he called Polygon racist. 0.84

01:36:31.000 Also, they have a Cthulhu module in Cyberpunk.

01:36:34.000 In short, if we don't get Cthulhu.

01:36:36.000 So is that the Karens at Polygon? 0.99

01:36:38.000 Totally.

01:36:38.000 We're getting upset?

01:36:39.000 It's fake outrage.

01:36:40.000 Like, oh my gosh, it's something we can yell about!

01:36:42.000 Yay! 0.99

01:36:43.000 We need clicks.

01:36:43.000 Awesome!

01:36:44.000 Let's complain. 0.95

01:36:45.000 And the maker's like, I'm black, I made that. 0.97

01:36:48.000 Like, what are you talking about?

01:36:49.000 It's like, come on!

01:36:49.000 Exactly.

01:36:51.000 Yep. 0.99

01:36:52.000 Fake outrage is ridiculous. 0.99

01:36:53.000 Let's see. 0.99

01:36:55.000 I can't read this name.

01:36:55.000 It's a bunch of letters and numbers.

01:36:56.000 Hey Tim, you should see the original Death Wish movie from 1974, Rip Charles Bronson.

01:37:00.000 I was skeptic of Bruce Willis doing the remake, but for once they actually didn't copy the storyline frame by frame.

01:37:06.000 I heard it was good.

01:37:07.000 Thomas Ray says, Texas would love to have you guys.

01:37:10.000 We have 80 miles an hour speed limit.

01:37:12.000 Government isn't the worst.

01:37:13.000 And if you pass a background check, you can get a gun same day.

01:37:16.000 I like that.

01:37:16.000 I noticed that speed limit.

01:37:18.000 Yes.

01:37:18.000 It's nice.

01:37:19.000 Yeah, it is 80.

01:37:20.000 It's nice.

01:37:21.000 TheGamingGinger says, What's up, Tim?

01:37:23.000 I'm paying the $5 for your membership, but I noticed some of the previous streams don't appear unless I've watched it live.

01:37:27.000 Do you have any ideas as to why?

01:37:29.000 Enjoy the donation, and thanks all you do.

01:37:31.000 Wait, you said $5, but you gave $50, bro.

01:37:34.000 I hope you- Well, no, for the membership.

01:37:36.000 Oh, oh, okay, right on, right on.

01:37:37.000 So for one, thanks for that super chat.

01:37:39.000 I appreciate that.

01:37:40.000 If you go to youtube.com slash TimCastIRL, there's a playlist called Live Shows, which should have every episode in it.

01:37:48.000 It's been so long since I've even seen any Simpsons episode.

01:37:52.000 Simpsons did it, Simpsons did it, by the way.

01:37:53.000 Do you have a favorite Halloween Treehouse of Horror segment or episode?

01:37:57.000 Oh man, I don't know.

01:37:58.000 It's been so long since I've even seen any Simpsons episode.

01:38:01.000 I can't remember a thing.

01:38:02.000 Okay, I gotta read this one.

01:38:03.000 Lauren Chen vs. Lauren Southern in a boxing match. 1.00

01:38:05.000 Who wins?

01:38:06.000 Chen, 100%.

01:38:07.000 Why do you think?

01:38:08.000 She's way badass-er. 1.00

01:38:09.000 Pardon my French.

01:38:10.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:38:11.000 Alright!

01:38:12.000 Write it down.

01:38:13.000 You gotta bleep it.

01:38:14.000 Write it down.

01:38:15.000 Oh yeah, we can leave it in.

01:38:17.000 I think it's a funny question, but I don't know who would win.

01:38:22.000 I'm biased, so... I don't even know who any of those two are.

01:38:27.000 I'm gonna go with Chen.

01:38:28.000 As somebody who is... Just because Lydia said it.

01:38:32.000 Trust me.

01:38:32.000 Yeah.

01:38:32.000 I trust you.

01:38:33.000 Lauren Chen is a Hapa. 1.00

01:38:34.000 Okay?

01:38:35.000 A what?

01:38:35.000 Hapa.

01:38:36.000 She's part Asian.

01:38:36.000 Hapa.

01:38:37.000 Half Asian.

01:38:38.000 Oh, is that what that means?

01:38:38.000 Yeah.

01:38:38.000 And I'm a Quapa.

01:38:40.000 Quarter Asian. 0.92

01:38:41.000 Quarter Pacific Asian. 0.76

01:38:42.000 So I'm gonna... New terms I'm learning today.

01:38:45.000 I'm gonna be totally racially biased.

01:38:47.000 Whoa.

01:38:48.000 But you're allowed to, right?

01:38:49.000 Yeah, he's allowed.

01:38:50.000 No.

01:38:51.000 I'm making a joke specifically about... Okay, I'm not even going to go there anymore.

01:38:51.000 No?

01:38:55.000 No, no, no.

01:38:56.000 Keep moving on.

01:38:56.000 Just keep moving on.

01:38:57.000 JMaxx says, follow that Twitter spat today between some creators on the whole debate me bro drama.

01:39:02.000 I really wish people would stop seeking owns and just have a discussion.

01:39:06.000 I think it would be way more productive and everyone could do with a bit of differential perspectives.

01:39:11.000 Amen.

01:39:11.000 This is why I don't do discussions.

01:39:13.000 I don't debate. 1.00

01:39:14.000 Debates are stupid. 1.00

01:39:15.000 Debates are, like, this is what people don't get. 1.00

01:39:17.000 Someone tweeted at me like, I disagree, debates are great because then people can share their views.

01:39:21.000 That's not what debate is.

01:39:22.000 Debates have tactics.

01:39:23.000 There's something, I think it's called a gish gallop. 1.00

01:39:26.000 I could be wrong.

01:39:27.000 Where it's like, you try and say a bunch of random nonsense to confuse your opponent. 1.00

01:39:31.000 It's stupid. 0.99

01:39:32.000 Debate is about appearing like you've bested them when you're really using tactics and techniques to confuse them to appear like you've won. 1.00

01:39:40.000 I know that's not necessarily what people think of when they think of debate.

01:39:42.000 I don't like it.

01:39:43.000 I like discussion.

01:39:44.000 If I said something like, I don't think UBI, Universal Basic Income, makes sense.

01:39:48.000 And then someone said, but Tim, have you considered this study from this institute showing that these things happened?

01:39:52.000 I'd say, wow, I didn't realize that thing existed.

01:39:54.000 Let me read it.

01:39:55.000 Well, how do you account for these things?

01:39:55.000 Interesting.

01:39:58.000 That's a real conversation.

01:39:59.000 Really trying to get together to understand the truth and share ideas.

01:40:02.000 Nobody does that.

01:40:03.000 That's why I stopped doing these.

01:40:04.000 I did a handful of these like online discussions with people and they immediately were just like snipping clips and being like, I just destroyed Tim Pool.

01:40:12.000 And I'm like, you took the clip out of context.

01:40:14.000 Yeah.

01:40:15.000 Like, and it wasn't even destroyed.

01:40:16.000 It was me going like, that's a good point.

01:40:17.000 I appreciate that.

01:40:18.000 And I'm like, I got you.

01:40:19.000 And I'm like, okay, I agree with you.

01:40:23.000 Nice.

01:40:24.000 Yeah, it's really weird.

01:40:25.000 A lot of these people are so adversarial.

01:40:27.000 They don't know how to respond when they say something, and I go, that's a good point.

01:40:32.000 Yeah.

01:40:32.000 And then they're like, what?

01:40:34.000 But I had all these other points that I was going to throw at you.

01:40:37.000 But I was going to prove I was smarter than you.

01:40:38.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:40:40.000 You made a good point, I guess.

01:40:41.000 Yeah, people aren't used to that.

01:40:43.000 Yep.

01:40:44.000 Yeah, it's like, I love this one moment with Jordan Peterson.

01:40:48.000 I know the interview was clipped improperly, but he was asked about social justice in, you know, like restaurants, and he says, we shouldn't do this at bakeries.

01:40:56.000 And then Jim Jeffries is like, what about the civil rights, you know, era?

01:41:00.000 And then Jordan goes, perhaps I was wrong about that.

01:41:03.000 It's like that simple.

01:41:04.000 Just like, oh, I didn't.

01:41:05.000 Oh, there you go.

01:41:05.000 You know, maybe I was wrong.

01:41:06.000 It gets so much easier when you do it that way.

01:41:08.000 People need to let people be wrong.

01:41:10.000 Yeah.

01:41:11.000 And say, if it's OK, like, Why do you care what someone else is mad at you if you're wrong?

01:41:17.000 It's people trying to defend their egos.

01:41:20.000 It's an emotional thing, not a logical thing.

01:41:22.000 I had a bunch of people tweeting at me about the Ahmed Arbery video.

01:41:25.000 I tweeted it out.

01:41:26.000 And I'm like, bro, I have no idea.

01:41:27.000 I go into all my videos all the time and I'm like, I was wrong about that.

01:41:30.000 Yeah.

01:41:30.000 It's great.

01:41:30.000 There are a couple people have tweeted me like, hey, you're wrong, I disagree with them.

01:41:33.000 And I'm like, but I'm gonna put your video in my description anyway and say,

01:41:37.000 this person said I was wrong here and I'll link to their video.

01:41:39.000 Even smaller channels.

01:41:40.000 I don't care.

01:41:42.000 I say all the time, I'm like, I'm not infallible.

01:41:46.000 If I get it wrong, I get it wrong.

01:41:47.000 Nobody is.

01:41:47.000 I just gotta go in and be like, I don't care about that.

01:41:49.000 Yeah.

01:41:50.000 That's the problem with media organizations.

01:41:53.000 They'll put out a fake story, and instead of being like, sorry about that guys, we try our best, they cover it up, they sweep it under the rug, or they just don't fix it.

01:41:53.000 They'll be wrong.

01:42:01.000 Pathetic. 1.00

01:42:02.000 Here's a random comment. 0.99

01:42:04.000 It's not a super chat, but it's amazing.

01:42:06.000 Mangodon555 says, skateboard brand, TNA, Tim and Adam, beanie boards.

01:42:12.000 I said beanie boards the other day, remember?

01:42:13.000 I don't care, it's awesome.

01:42:15.000 I love it.

01:42:16.000 Nice job, Mango. 0.97

01:42:17.000 One of the things that I'm looking for right now is... I have plans.

01:42:22.000 We have Scanner.

01:42:24.000 For those unfamiliar, it's scnr.com.

01:42:26.000 They're doing on-the-ground, in-depth reporting.

01:42:29.000 Looks good.

01:42:30.000 Awesome stuff.

01:42:31.000 And we'll have some announcements about it coming up.

01:42:34.000 Separately, there's going to be another outlet which is going to focus on fact-checking and aggregation and some original reporting.

01:42:40.000 So the goal would be...

01:42:41.000 When a big story breaks, we do a breakdown of it, we link to sources, and we critique, or, you know, we'll fact check.

01:42:49.000 We need space for that.

01:42:50.000 And so I've been looking into trying to find a building where we can house this, and it's very, very difficult.

01:42:54.000 There was one place I almost got last year, it fell apart, now the pandemic happened, so it's been a nightmare.

01:42:59.000 But we also want to have a retail shop in the front, with skateboards, gaming, and other stuff.

01:43:03.000 People can actually come and hang out.

01:43:05.000 Can you picture that on a skateboard?

01:43:05.000 Can you show the shirt?

01:43:06.000 more of a public thing and we'll have a studio in the back and then crazy people will show

01:43:09.000 up and we'll have to fight them off with like brooms and stuff. 0.99

01:43:11.000 I mean I can see, Lydia let me get your camera.

01:43:15.000 Can you picture, can you picture, show the shirt.

01:43:17.000 Can you picture that on a skateboard?

01:43:19.000 I can.

01:43:21.000 Or maybe at the top of the skateboard.

01:43:22.000 And every board comes with a beanie.

01:43:23.000 Like it's wearing a beanie.

01:43:24.000 I agree.

01:43:24.000 It's the perfect logo.

01:43:25.000 And every board comes with a beanie.

01:43:26.000 Wearing a beanie.

01:43:27.000 Wearing a beanie.

01:43:28.000 I love it.

01:43:28.000 That's great.

01:43:29.000 Good ideas are happening, people.

01:43:31.000 And then people will get heat stroke and they'll sue us.

01:43:33.000 Oh yeah, it'll be great.

01:43:34.000 No, no, it'll come with a waiver.

01:43:35.000 You have to sign.

01:43:37.000 Don't wear this in the summer.

01:43:39.000 Yeah, all right.

01:43:40.000 That's one of the big plans.

01:43:40.000 But we'll see.

01:43:41.000 I would like to have a storefront with skate stuff and a ramp.

01:43:44.000 People can hang out.

01:43:45.000 Because we also want to film and just be like this open, transparent news space.

01:43:49.000 So if someone has a problem and they're like, you wrote fake news, you can literally come to the retail shop and go to the skate shop and someone will be working there making boards and you'll be like, I need to talk to somebody about this story.

01:43:57.000 And then we'll be like, yeah, give us a second.

01:43:59.000 And then you can submit your retraction request in person.

01:44:02.000 So it's like, we will have the best correction policy.

01:44:05.000 Yeah.

01:44:05.000 All these news outlets are like, if you would like a request for a correction, send us an email.

01:44:08.000 No, no, no.

01:44:08.000 You shop at the store.

01:44:10.000 And you bang a little gavel.

01:44:12.000 We'll put a little gavel in. 0.95

01:44:14.000 Indeed.

01:44:14.000 Is someone hitting the gavel?

01:44:16.000 Oh, yes.

01:44:16.000 What is your grievance?

01:44:18.000 And then we have one of the fact checkers come out and be like, what up?

01:44:22.000 And someone will be like, you said that Donald Trump did a backflip.

01:44:24.000 It was a front flip.

01:44:25.000 And we'll look at it.

01:44:26.000 We'll go over the evidence and go, you were right.

01:44:27.000 Let's go fix it.

01:44:27.000 Let's go.

01:44:28.000 Yep.

01:44:28.000 That'll be great.

01:44:29.000 That'll be the most transparent.

01:44:30.000 That's good reporting.

01:44:31.000 So we need a space.

01:44:33.000 We might have found one.

01:44:34.000 The problem is a lot of these buildings are really old and it's like, you can buy them and then you gotta put a ridiculous amount of work into them.

01:44:39.000 I'm not gonna rent.

01:44:41.000 That seems nuts.

01:44:42.000 That's what ruined Miami.

01:44:44.000 You know, you could rent a house, but then someone has leverage on you.

01:44:47.000 Exactly.

01:44:48.000 You couldn't do anything, really.

01:44:49.000 Yep.

01:44:49.000 Someone comes by and they're like, I don't like what you do.

01:44:52.000 I don't like your politics.

01:44:53.000 Get out.

01:44:54.000 Get out.

01:44:55.000 Not really.

01:44:55.000 Dangerous, dangerous.

01:44:57.000 Nope.

01:44:57.000 Ole says, hey Tim, long time viewer.

01:44:59.000 Have you guys ever talked about Operation Tomodachi?

01:45:02.000 I was a US sailor on board CVN-76 and some seriously shady stuff happened.

01:45:06.000 I can send emails for follow-up if you want.

01:45:10.000 If you're on Twitter, hit me up.

01:45:11.000 There's my tag right there.

01:45:13.000 Boom.

01:45:14.000 Easy.

01:45:15.000 Tweet at me.

01:45:16.000 Best thing you guys can do.

01:45:17.000 Follow Adam and send him stuff and then Adam can go through all the suggestions and everything.

01:45:22.000 That would be awesome.

01:45:23.000 Thank you.

01:45:24.000 James Wu says, I believe you said the Logan Act was passed in 1799.

01:45:28.000 During the Allen and Sedition Acts, Alien and Sedition Acts.

01:45:31.000 Please look up the XYZ affair. 0.71

01:45:33.000 Seemingly, the only official blatantly attempted power grab in US history.

01:45:38.000 Will do.

01:45:39.000 They always do.

01:45:40.000 No.

01:45:40.000 soldier says the worst part is that no matter what, whatever they find out there, there

01:45:43.000 will be no prosecution.

01:45:45.000 Even if it turns out to be treason, people will get away with it.

01:45:47.000 They always do, don't they?

01:45:48.000 They always do.

01:45:49.000 Look, man, this is why I always say, like, I don't care for the Republicans, because

01:45:53.000 what?

01:45:54.000 You've got Lindsey Graham.

01:45:55.000 He's not doing anything.

01:45:56.000 He's not going to do anything.

01:45:57.000 You've got Trey Gowdy.

01:45:58.000 He didn't do anything.

01:45:59.000 You've got a bunch of Republicans who literally do nothing.

01:46:01.000 Peter King, you've got, man, these, look, there's a lot of crony establishment people

01:46:05.000 on the Republican side, too.

01:46:07.000 There's a handful of good, you know, good Republicans.

01:46:09.000 There are a couple good Democrats.

01:46:10.000 But for the most part, the whole system is just filthy.

01:46:14.000 Aaron Garcia says, Tim, thanks for clearing up the unmasking.

01:46:17.000 I really appreciate it.

01:46:18.000 No problemo.

01:46:19.000 Let's see.

01:46:20.000 Juan says, don't forget the complicit media, docile, not curious, following along.

01:46:25.000 I suspect the National Defense Act of Obama administration that allowed propaganda to target the domestic population.

01:46:31.000 I think the media just wants to make money and they're nasty people.

01:46:34.000 And they don't care about the truth.

01:46:35.000 They just like, how can we, you know, make cash?

01:46:37.000 Yep.

01:46:37.000 William Kimball says, Tim, have loved your content for two years.

01:46:40.000 I know you don't push causes onto people, but what do the first steps to solving lockdown appear like to you?

01:46:47.000 And fun reads for all of you that I would suggest would be Michael J. Sullivan's Riria Revelations.

01:46:54.000 Cheers.

01:46:55.000 What do the first steps to solving the lockdown look like?

01:46:57.000 Well, I think we're seeing it.

01:46:58.000 I mean, the Supreme Court of, I think, Wisconsin struck down the extension.

01:47:04.000 True.

01:47:05.000 We're seeing the phase... I think, for the most part, we're seeing something good coming.

01:47:10.000 These Democratic governors are, like, they're shooting themselves in the foot.

01:47:13.000 Yep.

01:47:14.000 The bars are reopening.

01:47:15.000 People are happy about it.

01:47:16.000 We're seeing phases slowly reopen.

01:47:17.000 Even California is allowing manufacturing to come back.

01:47:19.000 So let's just, you know, get on with it.

01:47:22.000 Hopefully it works out.

01:47:23.000 Jonathan Landy says, Whenever I talk about kinks in the supply chain, my mom just says the government can draw a line under it. 0.89

01:47:30.000 I don't know what to say to her at that point.

01:47:31.000 Much love from Ireland.

01:47:32.000 What does that mean?

01:47:33.000 Like the government is going to pull bread out from the basement and be like, don't worry, we saved the bread.

01:47:38.000 No, there's not going to be bread if nobody makes bread.

01:47:40.000 Yeah.

01:47:41.000 Rato says, MTG counterspell meta. 0.96

01:47:44.000 Screw you and anything you try to do. 0.93

01:47:45.000 P.S. 0.99

01:47:46.000 Thank you for the sanity you bring to news.

01:47:47.000 Appreciate it.

01:47:49.000 That's very accurate.

01:47:50.000 Jeremiah, thanks for becoming a member.

01:47:51.000 Thank you.

01:47:51.000 Jackdaw says, move to Wyoming, we have Yellowstone, and the government barely know we exist.

01:47:56.000 Yeah, I really like that idea.

01:47:58.000 But it's mountain time, I think, right?

01:47:59.000 It's like, oof.

01:48:01.000 I'm an eastern time kind of person.

01:48:09.000 Yes!

01:48:10.000 I wanna see this!

01:48:11.000 Oh my gosh.

01:48:12.000 Let me see this.

01:48:13.000 I can't.

01:48:14.000 You can mail to the P.O.

01:48:15.000 Box at timcast.com slash donate.

01:48:18.000 Please do.

01:48:18.000 You know, I was looking at small towns that need revitalization.

01:48:20.000 I was talking about this.

01:48:21.000 I think I talked about it earlier today.

01:48:23.000 KC and St. Louis. It is also centrally located and very welcoming and very

01:48:27.000 welcoming people. Great place for business. You know I was looking at small

01:48:31.000 towns that need revitalization. I was talking about this. I think I talked

01:48:34.000 about earlier today on the like I did a thing about you know Joe Rogan wanting

01:48:36.000 to move. Think about the good you can do if you were close to a town that had

01:48:41.000 seen it's like manufacturing drive or something and you're providing you know

01:48:44.000 basic trade jobs.

01:48:46.000 If you set up a big building, and you need plumbing, and you need carpentry, and you need general maintenance, you're going to create jobs in an area.

01:48:54.000 And then you'll actually bring more people in, which will create peripheral jobs.

01:48:57.000 Then you've got stores.

01:48:57.000 That sounds like a whole lot of fun.

01:49:01.000 Should we talk about the ACLU?

01:49:03.000 Yeah, I'm excited about that.

01:49:04.000 Let's do it.

01:49:05.000 Let's do this.

01:49:06.000 Why not?

01:49:06.000 So, the American Civil Liberties Union.

01:49:09.000 I used to be a big fan.

01:49:10.000 Now they're basically just the Anti-Civil Liberties Union, and I'll tell you why.

01:49:14.000 But first, let me show you this story.

01:49:16.000 This is from NBC News, picked up by Yahoo.

01:49:18.000 ACLU sues Betsy DeVos over new campus sexual assault rules.

01:49:22.000 Let's read a little bit, give you the context.

01:49:25.000 Education Secretary Betsy DeVos revised federal guidelines on how sexual assault allegations should be handled on college and K-12 campuses is the target of a federal lawsuit filed Thursday, claiming the changes would inflict significant harm on victims and dramatically undermine their civil rights.

01:49:40.000 The suit filed on behalf of four advocacy groups for sexual assault survivors, including Know Your 9, Girls for Gender Equity, and Girls for Gender Equity, is the first that attempts to block the Department of Education's new provisions before they go into effect on August 14th.

01:49:56.000 The rules championed by DeVos effectively bolster the rights of due process for those accused of assault and harassment, allowing for live hearings and cross-examinations.

01:50:05.000 It's what agency officials say was lacking under the Obama administration to protect all students under Title IX, a 1972 law that prohibits gender discrimination, including sexual assault at schools.

01:50:16.000 Quote, this new federal effort to weaken Title IX makes it more difficult for victims of harassment

01:50:22.000 or sexual assault to continue their educations and needlessly comes amid a global pandemic,

01:50:26.000 according to the suit which was filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland by the American

01:50:30.000 Civil Liberties Union and the New York-based law firms Strook and Strook and Levin, LLP.

01:50:36.000 The suit names DeVos, the Education Department, and Kenneth Marcus,

01:50:39.000 the agency's Assistant Secretary of Civil Rights.

01:50:41.000 The department did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the complaint, so let me just stop right here and break this down simply for you.

01:50:48.000 Even NBC News says, under Title IX, they needed more due process, live hearings, and cross-examinations.

01:50:55.000 Agency officials said this was lacking.

01:50:57.000 Why is the ACLU seeking to take away due process from The accused.

01:51:02.000 I'm kind of shocked.

01:51:03.000 This is something that DeVos is, I'm actually okay with.

01:51:07.000 I know.

01:51:08.000 A lot of people have been.

01:51:09.000 I agree with this.

01:51:12.000 This is good.

01:51:12.000 Why are they fighting it?

01:51:13.000 Well, let me give you some context.

01:51:14.000 Okay, go ahead.

01:51:15.000 Title IX is an anti-discrimination provision that's been used.

01:51:20.000 So basically, you know, feminists have said, if a woman is assaulted or harassed, then it's unfair because if the universities don't go after these individuals, it's discrimination. 1.00

01:51:29.000 Okay.

01:51:29.000 Right.

01:51:30.000 What's ended up happening is a lot of these universities don't care about due process, right?

01:51:34.000 They're not a legal court.

01:51:35.000 So they operate under what's called a preponderance of evidence.

01:51:38.000 If a woman accuses you, they ask you what happened.

01:51:41.000 And if you say something like, well, we were, you know, drinking and hanging out at my apartment.

01:51:45.000 They'll say, oh, good enough for us.

01:51:47.000 Yeah, you admit you were there and she said it happened.

01:51:49.000 You're expelled.

01:51:50.000 Due process would be I would like to cross-examine, you know, confront my accuser.

01:51:56.000 Things that you normally would get in the court, under English common law.

01:52:02.000 And, you know, with the Fifth Amendment, we have a right to real due process.

01:52:05.000 That doesn't exist.

01:52:06.000 Betsy DeVos is trying to give the same rights at universities that we get in a court of law. 1.00

01:52:12.000 To a certain degree, right?

01:52:12.000 That makes sense.

01:52:13.000 Okay.

01:52:14.000 Well, it does.

01:52:15.000 If some woman comes out and says, this man assaulted me, well, do we destroy his life on your word?

01:52:20.000 We need evidence.

01:52:21.000 That literally happened to my friend.

01:52:23.000 Right.

01:52:23.000 Yeah.

01:52:24.000 So Betsy DeVos wants to enact these rule changes and bolster the ACLU is arguing that violates the civil rights of the women. 1.00

01:52:33.000 How?

01:52:33.000 But think about the logic there.

01:52:34.000 That doesn't make any sense.

01:52:36.000 It doesn't.

01:52:37.000 Look man.

01:52:37.000 If everyone has equal rights, then it's just equal rights.

01:52:41.000 When's the ACLU going to file suit to abolish the Fifth Amendment then?

01:52:45.000 Right.

01:52:45.000 It's not fair that the accused get to confront their accuser.

01:52:48.000 That's violating their civil rights.

01:52:50.000 What?

01:52:50.000 So you can just accuse and then they just trust that and throw the guy in prison?

01:52:55.000 They've done it.

01:52:56.000 I know they have.

01:52:57.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:52:57.000 Do you know about like Mattress Girl?

01:52:59.000 Yeah, I think we talked about it.

01:53:01.000 Emma Sulkowicz?

01:53:02.000 Yeah, and then she shifted, right?

01:53:03.000 Now she's, like, conservative or something?

01:53:04.000 Yeah, right.

01:53:04.000 But apparently, like, when she accused this guy, there were text messages showing that she was, like, it was not true, what she claimed.

01:53:11.000 What she was saying, yeah.

01:53:12.000 She was begging him, she was messaging him for, you know, for years, saying, I love you and stuff like that.

01:53:16.000 And then it was, like, two years later, she accused him or something.

01:53:19.000 I'm probably getting the details wrong, but there are a lot of questionable, you know, storylines.

01:53:24.000 Yep.

01:53:25.000 Questionable bits of evidence.

01:53:27.000 So it would make sense that we make sure we protect the innocent.

01:53:29.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:53:30.000 Yeah, without these rules, you're not protecting the innocent.

01:53:32.000 You empower exploitation.

01:53:34.000 Exactly.

01:53:35.000 Why would the ACLU seek to oppose this?

01:53:38.000 I don't know.

01:53:39.000 That doesn't make any sense to me.

01:53:39.000 I can tell you why.

01:53:40.000 Go ahead, please.

01:53:41.000 Enlighten me.

01:53:41.000 So, for those... I think we may have talked about the story, but I'll tell you guys the story.

01:53:46.000 The ACLU famously defended the KKK in Skokie, Illinois.

01:53:49.000 We talked about this recently, I think.

01:53:50.000 Oh yeah, okay, right, right.

01:53:52.000 And they were very much liberal.

01:53:55.000 Like, we believe in liberty and freedom, and we're gonna stand up for the right to free speech.

01:53:59.000 I don't agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

01:54:02.000 And back then, liberals cheered for it.

01:54:04.000 That's why today, the left is no longer liberal.

01:54:06.000 It's the easiest way to explain it.

01:54:08.000 If anyone ever says to you that, you know, they're liberals or whatever, Ask him about defending the right to free speech of the Klan. 0.86

01:54:14.000 Yeah.

01:54:15.000 Because that's what liberals used to do. 1.00

01:54:16.000 That's what they still do.

01:54:17.000 The left today is not liberal.

01:54:19.000 Liberals have left, and the ACLU has abandoned all liberal principles for money.

01:54:23.000 So the ACLU fought against Donald Trump's travel ban.

01:54:27.000 Okay.

01:54:28.000 He was, you know, this man in the seven countries.

01:54:30.000 And they immediately gained a whole bunch of leftist donors.

01:54:33.000 It was a windfall, how much cash they made.

01:54:35.000 When they then defended the right to free speech of Unite the Right in Charlottesville, they got attacked for it, and immediately bent the knee, saying, please don't take our money away.

01:54:44.000 We would be very upset if we lost our money.

01:54:45.000 They got a taste of that.

01:54:47.000 Yup.

01:54:47.000 So now they're the anti-Civil Liberties Union.

01:54:49.000 They don't defend free speech, they have backpedaled, and now they're actively seeking to take away civil rights. 0.95

01:54:55.000 That's ridiculous. 0.65

01:54:56.000 That's the anti-Civil Liberties Union. 0.98

01:54:58.000 It's gross, man, and it bugs me out because I worked for a company where we fundraised for the ACLU.

01:55:03.000 I was very proud.

01:55:04.000 I was like, dude, the ACLU is awesome.

01:55:06.000 I remember I was in Chicago.

01:55:07.000 We were doing street canvassing, and I was fundraising to one guy.

01:55:12.000 You stop people in the street, you wave, like, you know, hey.

01:55:16.000 So we would ask, do you have a minute to talk about defending civil rights?

01:55:19.000 And a lot of people would hear these stories.

01:55:20.000 And then I remember talking to one guy who said, you know, that like they very famously defended the KKK who like came up and they marched through a Jewish neighborhood.

01:55:28.000 And I was like, I absolutely didn't know that.

01:55:30.000 And he was like, you don't care.

01:55:31.000 And I was like, I don't like these people.

01:55:34.000 I don't like the message they bring.

01:55:35.000 Yeah, I don't agree with what they're saying.

01:55:37.000 But we have a First Amendment in this country, and so you have to recognize that, you know,

01:55:40.000 dictators love the idea that they can infringe upon the rights of one, use it as a pretext,

01:55:45.000 because then they can take away the rights of all.

01:55:46.000 Yeah.

01:55:47.000 And the guy was like, I completely agree. He's like, I love what they do.

01:55:49.000 Yeah.

01:55:49.000 Man, I wonder what these, you know, old school liberals think now,

01:55:53.000 and how many of them sold their values out.

01:55:55.000 Yeah.

01:55:56.000 Think about, like, you know, I was talking to somebody last, I think it was like a year or two ago, about this shift.

01:56:03.000 And I was told that employees there, like the people who work there, like, they know.

01:56:08.000 They know they've sold their souls.

01:56:09.000 They know it's gotten bad.

01:56:11.000 They're no longer fighting for civil rights.

01:56:13.000 I think that's the gist of the story.

01:56:14.000 Oh, there's a little bit more.

01:56:15.000 Let's read a little bit more here, just to give the... There's actually a lot more.

01:56:20.000 Well, I don't want to get into too much of the nitty-gritty, but they say DeVos last week denied that the final rule would discourage victims from coming forward to report abuse and instead allows for schools to be more balanced in how they review claims, rather than through what she called a kangaroo court approach.

01:56:35.000 We can continue to combat misconduct without abandoning our core value of fairness, presumption of innocence, and due process.

01:56:41.000 So I'll tell you what, man.

01:56:42.000 I think we all saw where the MeToo movement went, and it was predictable for a lot of people.

01:56:46.000 Yeah.

01:56:46.000 of misconduct that might otherwise go ignored. Schools that fail to adhere to Title IX requirements

01:56:51.000 risk the loss of federal funding.

01:56:53.000 So I'll tell you what, man. I think we all saw where the MeToo movement went, and it

01:56:57.000 was predictable for a lot of people. The moment it came out for Biden, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

01:57:01.000 whoa. We didn't mean against us.

01:57:04.000 What do you mean? 0.99

01:57:05.000 It's ridiculous. 0.99

01:57:06.000 Now you get Vice President creepy hands and they don't care. 0.99

01:57:12.000 Creepy hands, man.

01:57:13.000 Yeah, this is something that we needed.

01:57:16.000 So I mentioned my friend.

01:57:17.000 A lot of people are making jokes about who my friend was.

01:57:19.000 I'm just going to tell the story.

01:57:21.000 When I was in high school, one of my good friends was dating this girl.

01:57:25.000 And he broke up with her.

01:57:26.000 And it was just like, as people do, they break up.

01:57:29.000 And three days later, she was freaking out at him in school, yelling at him, screaming, just emotions. 0.77

01:57:37.000 And then she just claimed, a couple days after that, that he raped her.

01:57:42.000 and he went to prison for two years and then after about like a year and a half to two years later well while he was in prison she she said to like a doctor or someone that look i feel really guilty i said this when i was younger i was emotional i don't love him anymore i don't feel the same way he didn't rape me i was just mad at him And it was like, what?

01:58:05.000 And then the courts found out and they released him and he lost two years of his life because he didn't, there was no questions asked.

01:58:12.000 He was just put in prison and they just believed what she said.

01:58:15.000 And it was, it's ridiculous because this kind of thing didn't exist.

01:58:18.000 And you also got to think about what it looks like on a resume or your life history when there's a two year gap.

01:58:23.000 Exactly.

01:58:24.000 What happened?

01:58:24.000 Where were you?

01:58:25.000 Oh, I was in prison for rape.

01:58:26.000 And it's like, how does that look?

01:58:28.000 You know, that's terrible.

01:58:28.000 But I was innocent, trust me.

01:58:29.000 And he was, he was innocent.

01:58:31.000 Have you seen the movie?

01:58:32.000 But that's not changing his record.

01:58:33.000 Have you seen the movie?

01:58:34.000 Well, it's probably expunged.

01:58:35.000 Who knows?

01:58:35.000 I don't know how it works.

01:58:37.000 Have you seen The Life of David Gale?

01:58:38.000 I have, yeah.

01:58:39.000 Kevin Spacey movie, nonetheless.

01:58:41.000 That's true.

01:58:42.000 Yeah, creepy, right?

01:58:42.000 I haven't seen it in a long time.

01:58:44.000 I know he's in prison or something?

01:58:46.000 No, he's not in prison.

01:58:47.000 Oh, I don't remember.

01:58:48.000 Someone's in jail, right?

01:58:49.000 No, the guys who accused him have seriously died.

01:58:52.000 Wait, say it again?

01:58:53.000 The guys who accused Kevin Spacey mysteriously died.

01:58:55.000 Oh, okay.

01:58:56.000 I don't know how many.

01:58:57.000 Was it two people?

01:58:58.000 I do not remember that movie at all.

01:58:59.000 Yeah, that was weird.

01:59:00.000 You don't remember Life of David Gill?

01:59:01.000 I don't remember it.

01:59:02.000 I've seen it, but it's been a long time.

01:59:06.000 It's a great movie.

01:59:07.000 I recommend it if you guys haven't seen it.

01:59:08.000 He's an anti-death penalty activist.

01:59:11.000 He goes to a party and he's a college professor.

01:59:15.000 And this woman basically is like, you know, let's hook up. 1.00

01:59:17.000 She says things like, you know, harder, harder, scratch me, and like, tear it off about her 1.00

01:59:21.000 clothes, and he does. 0.99

01:59:22.000 And then she uses that against him to claim that he raped her. 0.98

01:59:25.000 And it was because apparently she was failing his class, and she tried to offer him, you know, sex in exchange for a 0.98

01:59:30.000 good grade, and he said no.

01:59:32.000 Okay.

01:59:32.000 So she accuses him.

01:59:33.000 His life is immediately destroyed.

01:59:35.000 He's fired.

01:59:36.000 He can't get hired anywhere.

01:59:37.000 And then she just leaves.

01:59:39.000 And so what ends up happening is, the assumption is that she got scared and fled, and he must be guilty.

01:59:47.000 Even though there was no accusation, no proof, straight to his life.

01:59:50.000 And so, long story short, the movie is about him, he's on death row, and he's trying to explain the story of how he ended up there, and like, you know, this other woman that he was working with, how she died.

01:59:59.000 It's a really, really old movie, so I'm going to spoil a bit of it for you.

02:00:03.000 But basically it destroyed his life.

02:00:05.000 Made him extremely, I guess, suicidal.

02:00:09.000 And then he ended up martyring himself for the cause to resist the death penalty.

02:00:12.000 But it's interesting how...

02:00:14.000 Man, the court of public opinion, you could, like, your friend probably deals with the ramifications of that still to this day.

02:00:20.000 Probably.

02:00:20.000 In some capacity.

02:00:21.000 I mean, he has a wonderful family and a wonderful job now, and I'm really, really happy for him.

02:00:26.000 That's good.

02:00:26.000 And, uh... Two years.

02:00:28.000 So, I mean, but it still doesn't change what happened to him.

02:00:30.000 Yeah.

02:00:31.000 Two years, that's a lot of time.

02:00:33.000 And there are gonna be people who... It's gone.

02:00:35.000 There are people who probably would believe you.

02:00:37.000 If you went to prison for something like this and then got released after it was proven you were innocent, people are still gonna have in the back of their minds Yeah, exactly.

02:00:45.000 The possibility, ooh.

02:00:46.000 Yeah.

02:00:47.000 It's crazy that people assume if you're being arrested, you've done something wrong.

02:00:49.000 Yep.

02:00:50.000 That's scary.

02:00:51.000 I agree.

02:00:52.000 That's the world we live in now, though.

02:00:53.000 Yeah.

02:00:54.000 Yep.

02:00:55.000 I've seen so many videos where the cops will be arresting somebody.

02:00:57.000 Mm-hmm.

02:00:58.000 Like, you could put on a cop uniform and just chase someone down, and they will help you.

02:01:02.000 That's how scary... It's a con artist thing.

02:01:04.000 It's the use of authority for manipulation.

02:01:08.000 If you look like a cop, you can be having someone on the ground, and they can be screaming for help, and no one will help this person.

02:01:16.000 This is actually what criminals and con artists do.

02:01:19.000 To a certain degree.

02:01:20.000 They use that view of authority.

02:01:22.000 Think about that mentality people have.

02:01:24.000 Scale it up to someone getting arrested, doing a perp walk, and then the news being like, Adam Krigler was arrested for, you know, felony embezzlement.

02:01:32.000 He robbed, you know, and it wasn't true.

02:01:33.000 Everyone sees it on the news.

02:01:35.000 They don't care.

02:01:35.000 It's true as far as they're concerned.

02:01:37.000 You were arrested for it, therefore.

02:01:38.000 Yeah.

02:01:39.000 That's why we always say we got it innocent until proven guilty.

02:01:41.000 That's what's so... Yeah, what happened to that?

02:01:44.000 The ACLU saw some green.

02:01:46.000 Betsy's trying to bring it back, man.

02:01:48.000 Yep.

02:01:49.000 This is the weirdest thing.

02:01:51.000 You know, there are certain cultural issues related to, you know, conservatives, religious issues, life and choice kind of issues, death penalty issues, things I don't agree with.

02:02:01.000 But right now, when it comes to the Constitution, freedom, the economy, you've got Bill Barr challenging these states on constitutional efforts.

02:02:07.000 You've got Betsy DeVos trying to bring back due process. 1.00

02:02:10.000 And I'm like, these are not- Rand Paul.

02:02:11.000 And Rand Paul.

02:02:12.000 Yeah, man.

02:02:12.000 Good dude.

02:02:13.000 Good dude.

02:02:14.000 Staples.

02:02:14.000 So Bernie Sanders didn't show up for this vote.

02:02:17.000 What's up with that?

02:02:19.000 You'd think he'd be on the forefront.

02:02:20.000 He could have been the one vote to end this spying abuse if he showed up.

02:02:26.000 What's up with that?

02:02:27.000 That's Bernie!

02:02:29.000 I don't like any of these people, man.

02:02:31.000 But I'll individually support people I think do a great job.

02:02:35.000 It's funny that people want me to yell out who I'm going to vote for.

02:02:38.000 It's like, bro, I'd vote for Rand Paul in two seconds.

02:02:40.000 I don't even agree with him on a lot of issues, but he's a man of principle.

02:02:42.000 Yeah.

02:02:43.000 He stands up for the rights of the people, and I really, really respect that, you know, about him.

02:02:48.000 He's always on the side of, like, the government shouldn't have the power to do these things.

02:02:52.000 He's always... He's not perfect.

02:02:54.000 I'm sure there's some things I can call him out for, but I think he's a good dude.

02:02:57.000 Yeah.

02:02:57.000 Well, let's grab the last few Super Chats, and then we will all go to sleep, and sleep comfortably.

02:03:04.000 And by sleep, I mean play Doom Eternal.

02:03:06.000 And drink whiskey?

02:03:07.000 Drink whiskey.

02:03:09.000 I might have a little bit of whiskey.

02:03:10.000 I've been slowing down.

02:03:12.000 I don't drink every night.

02:03:14.000 As long as there's games.

02:03:15.000 It is good, though.

02:03:16.000 If you haven't already, there's one thing you really gotta do.

02:03:19.000 Smash that like button! 0.98

02:03:20.000 Just jam it!

02:03:20.000 That's right.

02:03:21.000 Oh, I have to do it.

02:03:22.000 Smash that like button.

02:03:23.000 I've been liked it.

02:03:24.000 Let's get 50,000 likes.

02:03:27.000 Come on, everybody!

02:03:28.000 Like the YouTube video!

02:03:30.000 That was a joke for a while, because all these YouTube videos would pop up, where the guy would be like, yo, everybody, welcome to my vlog, man.

02:03:36.000 Before we talk about it, you gotta smash that like button! 0.54

02:03:38.000 And then it would go like, whee!

02:03:39.000 And the screen would shade.

02:03:41.000 It'd zoom in.

02:03:42.000 Well, where's our cool special effect?

02:03:43.000 What the heck we should we should set one up, but people would do that

02:03:45.000 Yeah, and when you get those likes your video does get pushed up

02:03:49.000 I know what I'm gonna take this time to remind you how much I really want

02:03:53.000 Greta's face to pop up from the bottom screen. You have like a how dare you button. How dare you yeah? 1.00

02:03:59.000 Expert grout.

02:04:00.000 How dare you?

02:04:00.000 And then it goes back down.

02:04:02.000 Man, I can't wait.

02:04:02.000 It's hilarious.

02:04:04.000 But for real, the likes do help.

02:04:06.000 Really do appreciate it.

02:04:06.000 And share if you like the show.

02:04:08.000 Yeah.

02:04:08.000 We'll be back tomorrow at 8pm.

02:04:10.000 Let's read these next few Super Chats before we all go to bed.

02:04:13.000 Steven says, just bought the same duster.

02:04:15.000 It's awesome.

02:04:16.000 Cool.

02:04:17.000 Vendor says, extra message.

02:04:18.000 I was joking about the manga.

02:04:20.000 I just want to see your reaction.

02:04:21.000 Big fan of you since 2018.

02:04:22.000 Oh, no manga.

02:04:23.000 What?

02:04:24.000 Sean Ryan says, South Bend, Indiana is in major need of revitalization.

02:04:27.000 It's also Eastern time zone.

02:04:29.000 And it's really close to Chicago.

02:04:30.000 That wouldn't be so bad.

02:04:31.000 Gregory Horton.

02:04:32.000 How about Gary?

02:04:34.000 Gary, Indiana.

02:04:35.000 Have you ever been to Gary?

02:04:36.000 Yeah.

02:04:36.000 No.

02:04:37.000 Gary's fun.

02:04:37.000 I've only ever driven through Indiana.

02:04:40.000 Man, uh... That's it.

02:04:41.000 Actually, I went there once for fireworks to smuggle them into Illinois.

02:04:45.000 I have a video from, I think it's from Gary, and it's called American Wasteland.

02:04:48.000 Is that Gary?

02:04:49.000 Yeah, we go and look at a bunch of like this destroyed... Exciting.

02:04:52.000 Yep.

02:04:54.000 Where are we at?

02:04:54.000 Gregory says, check out Nemesis, a hypothetical star.

02:04:57.000 Cool.

02:04:58.000 D. Stoltenberg says, Coal Strip, Montana.

02:05:02.000 Town dying due to shutdown of coal power plant.

02:05:04.000 It is built around.

02:05:06.000 Can't sell your house if you tried.

02:05:07.000 Opportunity for a tech co?

02:05:09.000 Yeah, maybe.

02:05:10.000 Christian says, that ACLU article reminds me of the many guys that have been falsely accused.

02:05:14.000 Look at Mattress Girl, for example. 0.57

02:05:15.000 She lied, got the guy expelled, and was texting the guy for sex during the process. 1.00

02:05:19.000 Oof.

02:05:21.000 Christian says, check out Matt Christensen's latest video on the purpose of government.

02:05:24.000 It's a great watch and really shows the state of mind liberals are in when they think they should be taken care of.

02:05:30.000 Yep.

02:05:31.000 Gregory Horton says, floor gang.

02:05:32.000 I think that's a PewDiePie reference.

02:05:33.000 I don't know too much about it.

02:05:35.000 William says, care to donate to adopt a beanie foundation.

02:05:38.000 Yes.

02:05:39.000 Hey Momo says, rip and tear until it's done. 1.00

02:05:42.000 I made a Tinder profile for the Slayer to entertain myself during lockdown.

02:05:45.000 Sweet! 0.95

02:05:46.000 Rip and tear. 0.82

02:05:47.000 Yes, I will certainly do that.

02:05:49.000 We, uh, we didn't go too far over this time, but, uh, we're about ready to wrap up.

02:05:52.000 So if you haven't already, I did mention the like button, subscribe, notification bell.

02:05:57.000 Monday through Friday, 8 PM.

02:06:00.000 Uh, we do the show.

02:06:00.000 We do it, uh, we do it live.

02:06:02.000 We put up clips the next day and, uh, we'll probably have some specials, you know, uh, at some point weekend stuff, maybe Adam's deep dives.

02:06:08.000 We'll, we'll, we'll, we're, we're still figuring things out.

02:06:11.000 Lots of expansion underway.

02:06:13.000 I have been consistently looking for a building so we can bring on more people, do more shows, gaming, and a ton of other stuff, so we'll get there when we get there.

02:06:20.000 You know what we need to do is have a jam session at the end of one of our shows.

02:06:24.000 Maybe not every time.

02:06:26.000 Are we set up for music?

02:06:27.000 Yes.

02:06:27.000 Like we can jam totally over there?

02:06:29.000 Yeah, absolutely.

02:06:30.000 That's pretty sweet.

02:06:31.000 We got the cameras good to go, the jam cam ready, we got the microphone, boom, ready.

02:06:34.000 That's pretty cool.

02:06:36.000 We should end the show with a song sometime.

02:06:38.000 Well, we'll do that maybe tomorrow for Friday night.

02:06:40.000 That'd be so fun.

02:06:41.000 Friday night.

02:06:41.000 Get it set up.

02:06:43.000 One last super chat.

02:06:45.000 You said it, so now we have to do it.

02:06:46.000 Yeah, for sure, dude.

02:06:48.000 Satz says, Rodney Mullen's still the best skater.

02:06:50.000 The best skateboarder right now?

02:06:52.000 Aurelien Girard.

02:06:53.000 Rodney Mullen may not have been the best skater ever or at any point.

02:06:58.000 Yeah, but he is always phenomenal and he create crafts.

02:07:04.000 Yeah, I guess he totally was the best skateboarder.

02:07:06.000 For a while, yeah.

02:07:07.000 Rodney Mullen is pretty amazing, yeah, it's true.

02:07:10.000 You could argue legacy-wise he's still the best in terms of his vision was beyond anyone else.

02:07:17.000 Okay, that's definitely true.

02:07:18.000 There really was a period where he was inventing tricks on a regular basis and people were confused non-stop.

02:07:24.000 That's true.

02:07:25.000 So the thing about skateboarding is there is no best skateboarder in the sense that they all do different tricks.

02:07:30.000 OK.

02:07:31.000 You know, so if there's definitely different styles.

02:07:34.000 Yeah.

02:07:34.000 Tony Hawk is a vert skater.

02:07:35.000 Right.

02:07:35.000 So he can he's he's probably at this point he's 52, I think.

02:07:39.000 I don't know.

02:07:39.000 So I don't know.

02:07:40.000 He's older than that.

02:07:40.000 He still slays.

02:07:42.000 He's amazing.

02:07:42.000 Slays, man.

02:07:43.000 But he's he's he's he's not a young man anymore.

02:07:47.000 Right.

02:07:47.000 So there are better vert skaters, but he's still really good.

02:07:50.000 I would say right now in terms of all around ability, the best skateboarder I've seen is Aurelien Giraud.

02:07:54.000 I still have yet to see any of his videos.

02:07:56.000 He's insane watching this guy.
