On this episode of the podcast, we talk about Obamagate, Elon Musk, and a bunch of other stuff. We also talk about the first skateboarder to land a 1080, and the first person to ever do it.
00:00:32.000I just had to say it because it is such a big... I don't know, he tweeted it and everyone was like, No, we're talking about Elon Musk and a bunch of other stuff.
00:03:20.000So there's an interesting debate here, though, because I did talk about this, you know, on my other channel, but it'll be interesting to talk with Adam about it.
00:03:28.00011-year-old skateboarder breaks a record, landing the first ever 1080, and we've got another story about transgender athletes.
00:03:34.000So there's a lot of questions that come up around puberty and testosterone, I think we can talk to.
00:03:38.000But the first story, and what we gotta get to, Mr. Elon Musk. Elon Musk defies coronavirus order and asks
00:04:02.000And it's funny because Elon Musk is getting dragged, but he's absolutely in the right on this one for so many reasons.
00:04:07.000But let's read the story to get you the context.
00:04:09.000The Verge writes Tesla is reopening its California car factory against Alameda County's wishes.
00:04:15.000They say Musk spent parts of the weekend railing against the order, which was put in place in mid-March by Alameda County officials in order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
00:04:24.000The order restricted all but essential businesses from performing anything other than the most minimal operations, like processing payroll.
00:04:31.000After initially fighting the order, Tesla shut down the factory on March 23rd.
00:04:35.000Musk has argued that the statewide stay-at-home order put in place by Governor Gavin Newsom left room for Tesla's auto manufacturing plant to remain open.
00:04:44.000and Musk had Tesla file a lawsuit against the county on Saturday in protest.
00:04:49.000On Monday, Newsom said that the state has had very constructive conversations with the county
00:04:53.000officials and Tesla representatives, and that he hopes the company could open up as early as next
00:04:58.000week. Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty told the New York Times this past weekend that
00:05:03.000the county and Tesla had been close to an agreement to reopen the factory on May 18th,
00:05:07.000but that was before Musk lashed out and filed the lawsuit on Saturday.
00:05:11.000Tesla started making cars over the weekend, as The Verge reported earlier on Monday.
00:05:15.000So apparently, what, they've already broken the order, it sounds like.
00:05:18.000And told all of the employees that it placed on furlough to get ready to get back to work.
00:05:22.000Those employees have been told they can stay home if they feel uncomfortable, but have to take unpaid leave in order to do so.
00:06:34.000So the first reason why Elon Musk is in the right, and the most obvious one, Gavin Newsom said that the state was easing up and they were going to allow manufacturing plants to reopen.
00:06:44.000So Elon Musk was like, all right, great, here we go, awesome.
00:06:47.000And then Alameda County specifically intervened and was like, nope.
00:06:51.000The mayor of Fremont, where the plant is, said yes.
00:08:25.000The funny thing about that lady is that she's responsible for something called Assembly Bill 5, which resulted in like thousands of lefty journalists getting fired.
00:08:58.000And then the year that then December came around, and they got a notification from all of their companies saying, we're terminating your contracts.
00:11:09.000Wouldn't you be able to sell your boats wherever you want then?
00:11:13.000You'd think you'd be able to, but no, according to this bill, they can't contract you in this way.
00:11:17.000Yeah, right, so this lady is responsible for terminating probably hundreds of thousands of jobs and destroying a bunch of companies and sole proprietorships.
00:11:27.000So she has the nerve to come out against Elon Musk, because he's like, I want to reopen my factory, put people back to work, even though the governor agrees, the city agrees, and this one county is like, not Elon.
00:11:40.000They're like, we don't like Elon, so we're just gonna keep his factory shut down.
00:11:43.000I'm gonna throw some shade at the COVID argument people, because I got this tweet here.
00:12:29.000It's 0.2% So it's it's it's arguably like, you know, 33 to 30 percent worse than the flu at this number But this plant in South Dakota has never locked down.
00:12:42.000They're like what ranked the 30th in terms of hospitalizations for COVID.
00:12:46.000But you had all the press being like, you must lock down, you must shut down your economy.
00:12:50.000And the governor was like, no, we won't do it.
00:12:53.000So now looking at this data, going back to Elon Musk's point, reopening the factory, it looks like for the most part, you might get sick, but that's about it.
00:13:02.000Hey, if you're healthy, you could probably beat it.
00:13:07.000Most people who get it, it's like the flu.
00:13:10.000Now, well, be careful because it is still serious.
00:13:12.000It is novel, so a lot more people are still likely to get it.
00:13:15.000But they only have a thousand confirmed infections.
00:13:18.000That may actually be a lot, considering how many people work at the plant.
00:13:31.000So the point I'm trying to make, everybody calm down because I know that the Google ban people are, they have fingers shaking over the button getting ready to just ban.
00:13:55.000But, I'm just saying, it's not the apocalypse, not the end of the world, everyone can calm down.
00:14:00.000You know, you don't have to worry, it's a .2 mortality rate.
00:14:04.000Take the precautions you need to take, wear your mask, wear your protective gear.
00:14:09.000Tesla has taken a ton of crazy precautions, and they have like a mandatory training thing for people to be more cautious when dealing with materials.
00:14:17.000They've also moved things around to streamline the process in the factory.
00:14:21.000So the point I'm trying to make is, Everybody was freaking out saying the world was gonna end.
00:14:25.000We were worried it was gonna be a lot worse than it was.
00:14:27.000It's not the worst case scenario for, you know, for a lot of places actually.
00:14:31.000We've seen all these studies come out.
00:14:51.000And I think people, for tribal reasons, are just trying to go after Elon.
00:14:55.000And, you know, I want to go back to that point about the Lorena Gonzalez woman, and we'll drive a little bit on this.
00:15:01.000I wanted to make sure we wrapped up the Elon thing a little bit, but I really want to talk about this lady who's attacking Elon Musk, because what she's proposed is one of the most insane things I've ever heard.
00:15:14.000Basically, unions wanted to make sure that everybody was working at the company so that the union could pressure them to join the union.
00:15:22.000Because in California, my understanding is, if you get hired to a company that's a union, you gotta join the union.
00:16:15.000There are some good unions for sure, but what it's become is... I'm not gonna name some of these, because they're just like shakedown organizations that'll sue me if I say their names.
00:16:24.000But they go to media companies, they convince activists to unionize, not because they need
00:16:30.000improvements to their benefits or anything like that, but to force all the employees
00:16:34.000to pay those union dues every month, and then the union can claim, we just added, you know,
00:16:57.000How do you weed out the corruption and the breakdown of the system?
00:17:00.000So the initial concept of unions was really, really great.
00:17:04.000You know, you had a bunch of really awful conditions and all the people got together and engaged in a collective bargaining, which is fantastic.
00:17:11.000I'm actually extremely pro-union, but my concern is that a lot of the big corporate unions are corrupt and they exploit companies and try and hurt them and things like that.
00:17:21.000So you end up with people who don't know what they're doing, giving up their rights.
00:17:25.000Let me tell you, man, I worked for a company, they forced me to join the union, and then I couldn't move at all within the company.
00:17:33.000It was like all of my opportunity and all my rights were gone.
00:17:36.000Because, and whenever I had a problem, I couldn't go to my boss.
00:17:40.000I couldn't go to the supervisors and be like, yo, I got a problem.
00:17:42.000They'd go, no, no, no, union rep, union rep, nope, get out, get out, get out, I can't talk to you, I can't talk to you about this.
00:19:01.000I think the problem with unions, you know, but if you want to come to me and tell me your unionize, I'm going to be like, Hey man, you do your thing.
00:19:07.000Like if you want to jump into a well head first, I don't care.
00:20:19.000You got 20 of them who can't swim, 20 of them who can swim really, really well, and the rest are average.
00:20:24.000You chain everyone together, and the really great swimmers are being held down by everyone else, and the really bad swimmers are being held up by everyone else.
00:20:31.000I personally don't want someone chained to my leg.
00:20:48.000I don't... I'm not gonna... That's the thing, right?
00:20:51.000When I worked for these companies, I was straight up like, nah, I don't want to be involved.
00:20:54.000But anyway, going back to that Lorena Gonzalez woman, the most detrimental, devastating thing about what she ended up pushing with AB5, It's like, you have people who do writing for a bunch of different outlets, right?
00:21:05.000Someone might be like, I write about food for, you know, food.food, I write about news for news.news, and I write about sports for sports.sports.
00:21:17.000Like, basically, it's like you're a fruit vendor, and every day you have a company who says, I will buy a satchel of, you know, oranges, and another guy buys apples, and another guy buys mangoes.
00:21:27.000Because of this bill, they've basically said you can no longer deliver these products to your customers.
00:23:45.000It's the weirdest thing to see this like a tribal issue where it's like we want to destroy small business and we want everyone to work for someone else.
00:23:53.000If you run your own company, you're fine.
00:23:56.000Well, let's get over to the next bit where it gets even crazier.
00:23:59.000Talking about the lockdown orders and all that stuff, we have this tweet.
00:24:05.000From Bill Malugan, the LA County Sheriff says video surveillance shows inmates at a jail in Castaic sharing a water bottle, then rubbing the same mask on their faces to purposefully infect themselves with COVID-19 because they thought it would force their release.
00:26:23.000The footage captures inmates in one unit sharing a container over there.
00:26:26.000The sheriff said the inmates used hot water to try to raise their temperatures just before a nurse checked them.
00:26:32.000An elevated temperature is a symptom for coronavirus.
00:26:35.000Villanueva said the inmates mistakenly believed that if they were infected, they would be freed.
00:26:39.000It's dismaying and it's disheartening.
00:26:41.000None of the 30 inmates required critical care when they were sick, though some had moderate symptoms, said Bruce Chase, the department's assistant sheriff of custody operations.
00:26:49.000No prisoners within the county's jail system, the largest in the country, have died from the virus.
00:26:54.000Jails and prisons nationwide have become flashpoints.
00:26:56.000More than 25,000 inmates have been infected, and about 350 have died nationwide, from Rikers Island in New York to federal, state, and local lockups coast-to-coast, according to an unofficial tally kept by the COVID-19 Behind Bars data project run by UCLA Law.
00:27:12.000In California, five inmates in a state prison in San Bernardino have died from COVID complications and outbreaks.
00:28:27.000But Texas you'd think would be substantially more brutal in terms of keeping people locked up, not letting them go, and then arresting a salon owner.
00:29:21.000Instead, police say Matthew Crewson raged on a Thai restaurant across the street on Broadway, amped up on methamphetamines, using a crowbar to smash the wooden boards.
00:29:29.000I'm sure glad they released this man from jail.
00:29:38.000What are the moral constraints of a society when it comes to locking someone up where they could potentially be infected with a deadly disease?
00:30:39.000But think about all this that's happening, and now it's like, okay, we're gonna arrest Elon, we're gonna release criminals, we're gonna let everybody go.
00:30:47.000I think this is a major catalyst for the Boogaloo, man.
00:32:53.000We'll bring it back to the on-the-ground stuff and the Boogaloo stuff.
00:32:55.000Listen man, right now you've got Donald Trump tweeting at Obamagate the implication that Obama directed or was involved in false charges brought against Trump and his administration to sabotage his administration as he was coming into power.
00:33:11.000There's a lot of insinuations about You know, was the previous administration involved in trying to sabotage the campaign of Trump to help Hillary win?
00:33:19.000Beyond that, why do we go through years of this conspiracy theory stuff?
00:33:23.000We don't need to get too much into that because I want to keep it to the on-the-ground stuff.
00:34:03.000You have the left that believes Donald Trump is subverting the rule of law, and that he's a mobster, getting all his buddies off the hook for crimes they committed.
00:34:12.000Then you have another faction that believes the Obama administration and the FBI were falsely laying charges to sabotage Trump's administration, and now finally Trump is on the counter-offensive, weeding out the corrupt.
00:34:23.000It doesn't matter what you think is right, the fact is they exist.
00:34:26.000So what happens when Trump gets reelected or what happens when this goes, when stuff like this starts happening?
00:34:31.000So to bring it back to the on the ground stuff, you have in the debate about whether or not to reopen or stay closed, tribalism.
00:34:38.000The left doesn't care about the science.
00:36:13.000So if you look at what's actually going on with the data, we have four or five studies now saying the mortality rate is very, very, very low.
00:36:20.000And there are substantially more people who have had this.
00:36:23.000We've had local doctors come out, get their videos deleted from YouTube for calling this out.
00:36:29.000The UN says if we don't reopen, 130 million will starve.
00:36:32.000I think, at the very least, we can say, we get it.
00:37:54.000There was a really funny tweet I saw where a bunch of Bernie supporters were laughing when the polls came that Trump was now beating Biden in a bunch of key states.
00:38:02.000So it's like, what happens when you have all of this, all of these people who arbitrarily want the lockdowns to continue, jokingly saying, fine, go and arrest Elon Musk, attacking Elon Musk, even though he's completely in the right, and then Trump wins again.
00:38:16.000Do these people just say like, well, gosh darn it, we lost.
00:38:19.000I guess we'll just carry on with our lives.
00:39:00.000Well, the, the few that have, that thought they had a huge voice and a huge backing, they're like, suddenly there's no one behind them and they're just standing by themselves.
00:39:55.000So maybe, yeah, that's a good point now that I think about it.
00:39:58.000Maybe there won't be a Boogaloo, because what we're really seeing is the vocal, the last remnants of a vocal minority shrinking into nothingness.
00:40:43.000Barr is going to the states for the lockdowns.
00:40:46.000I don't think people come November are going to blame Trump for this when it's the Democratic governors who are insisting we stay shut down and people are complaining.
00:40:52.000And the Republican governors are the opposite.
00:40:59.000Like we mentioned several times, Gallup polls showing Republicans in Congress have higher favorability now for the first time in like 20 or 30 years.
00:41:08.000I try telling people, you know, it's like, they want to accuse me of being biased and I'm like, I think you just don't see what's really going on.
00:41:54.000I gotta tell you, man, the more they lie, the more they get caught lying, the more anger I have for everything the media, the Democrats, the cronies have done.
00:43:03.000I think it was really stark because Chuck Todd went on to say, well, he didn't say anything about following the rule of law or having any kind of compassion.
00:43:11.000And then somebody showed the full clip and it was like, yeah, that's exactly what he said next.
00:43:20.000I see these pundits on Twitter and they put out their like, it just insults all day.
00:43:27.000It's like you'll see a comment from a Trump personality or from the president, and they'll say, he's stupid, he's ridiculous, he's a criminal, he's crook, he's corrupt.
00:43:49.000And boy, do I not not want them to get away with all of the deception and the deceit and the lies.
00:43:54.000And it's really frustrating, too, man, when I see my friends go on like Instagram and post stuff about how, you know, we must remain locked down.
00:44:01.000Like, people are so dumb they want to save the economy.
00:44:23.000They have a set mindset, and it's like they're getting triggered in any other sense, and they just go emotional, so all the logic goes out the window.
00:44:35.000So I have friends posting on Instagram and Facebook and stuff where they're like, these heartless conservatives want people to get sick and die like Elon Musk, and I'm like... Oh my gosh.
00:44:45.000What do I say over Facebook to this person I've known for years?
00:44:49.000To let them know... I sent a message to a friend of mine.
00:44:52.000It was like a high-profile individual.
00:44:54.000Who was saying like, no to reopening the economy.
00:45:28.000So is the right becoming a more calm and logical place?
00:45:34.000Still with its emotional reactions, for sure.
00:45:36.000And is the left becoming a haven for the people who just react emotionally?
00:45:40.000I can't speak for the right, because I feel like I'm still in the center, and that's where I... I mean, because I agree with both sides and I disagree with both sides, so... I think far left are crazy people that I don't associate with at all.
00:46:06.000So what I kind of think might be happening is when someone like you or me sees a conservative or liberal on Twitter and the liberal is yelling re and the conservative is saying, I humbly disagree.
00:46:21.000I mean, when you put it that way, that's absolutely the person I would side with.
00:46:25.000So then my question is, over time, will we end up seeing the right, I'm doing air quotes just to whatever the right is, be a bunch of people calmly sipping their tea and saying, well, dare I say, good sir, my question about the economy has to do, and then, you know, Peter Jordan's saying, well, let me tell you about what I think, and then Joe Rogan's like, that's crazy, I never thought about that.
00:46:37.000And on the left, it's riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii To be less silly.
00:46:47.000That was a very good read, by the way.
00:46:50.000I had to try and tone it down because I didn't want to scream.
00:46:54.000I guess the point I'm trying to make is, if people who have emotional reactions and don't care to do research are manipulated into believing all this fake stuff, then the left will just be people who are all waving their arms and going, While the people on the right are going to include moderates, liberals, conservatives, libertarians, all being the right and having a wide range of views, but having a conversation about it.
00:47:18.000That's kind of what I was saying earlier, where it feels like those people on the left that are reeing are just slowly fading away because they're becoming more and more in a spotlight, for one.
00:47:30.000That girl who screams no when Trump won, she's now a forever mean of just... And who wants to be that?
00:48:22.000And so when I respond with, How will these companies pay their employees if you don't pay their rent?
00:48:27.000Like, the landlord isn't some guy, like, in a castle with a crown.
00:48:31.000It's a dude in an office who's like, I've got a bunch of properties, I gotta pay, you know, here's my mortgage, here's my interest, here's my bills, here's my groundskeeper, here's my staff, here's my electrician, here's my repairman, here's my, you know, the delivery guy.
00:49:56.000Literally communicating with the public to convince them, and I'm at a loss for how we deal with these people.
00:50:01.000It's like, how do you deal with someone who says, I believe in science, and then when you go, here's a study saying people are dying and starving to death and the mortality rate is low, and they go, no!
00:50:29.000It's like, you know the crazy thing about it is, when I was growing up, it was the religious people who behaved more that way.
00:50:35.000Like, I'm right, I don't care, this is what's true, and now it's all of a sudden you have like... I was talking to people about this, you know, notably Ben Shapiro's philosophy, because he's very religious, he's an orthodox Jew, but he's a libertarian.
00:50:48.000So it's like, his idea is kind of like, I'll mind my own business and practice my religion how I want to.
00:51:18.000He called out Joe Biden, the audacity of grope, uncritically showing Project Veritas, like legitimately showing Project Veritas and praising the work they did.
00:52:09.000The cool people You know, the skateboarders, for instance, were on the left because the left was being rational and honest.
00:52:16.000When the left stopped being rational and honest and started attacking the thought leaders, and the thought leaders started leaving, we lost George Carlin, you know, 12 years ago.
00:52:23.000That was a huge, you know, hit for what the sane left was.
00:52:29.000Now the cool people are watching the re-people shrieking and cancel culture, and so they're more attracted to the right, which is fun and memes.
00:52:37.000Leaving all of the... Like a leaderless movement, essentially.
00:52:40.000The left has become emotional, reactive, and leaderless.
00:53:17.000I know because it's not gonna last very long because they were always default Yeah, like Jon Stewart was cool and valuable HBO all these things and so the big companies are late to the party They don't realize they're that you know, the ad dollars are propping up things people don't like.
00:53:33.000Yeah, you know, hey, maybe we're crazy Maybe we're gonna crumble eventually though.
00:53:37.000Maybe people like being in ignorant bliss.
00:53:39.000Maybe we're the minorities I think that's the real boogaloo that's going to happen.
00:53:43.000It's going to be a battle between those two forces, but they're going to be smushed.
00:53:49.000The majority, as far as what I believe, is people in the middle and on the right looking at the left like, wow, they're really crazy now.
00:54:14.000The moderators will ban a conservative post or a moderate post.
00:54:18.000And so then what ends up happening is, Reddit, so this is the way I was explaining it earlier, if you have a hundred, you know, people, fifty conservative, fifty liberal, that means there's a good civil war between ideas.
00:54:38.000But then Reddit says, we don't like oatmeal cookies because sometimes raisins are in them, so we're gonna ban anyone who posts oatmeal cookies.
00:54:45.000All of a sudden, the oatmeal cookie people start leaving, because they're like, we don't get to hear about oatmeal cookies anymore.
00:54:45.000That's a shame, I love oatmeal cookies.
00:54:50.000And then all of a sudden, chocolate chip just starts skyrocketing, and now there's no way to ever get a post upvoted that's about oatmeal cookies, because they started removing posts.
00:54:59.000So Reddit becomes hyper-polarized, and people get washed into that insanity.
00:55:52.000I think they attacked YouTube so hard because with YouTube, people who, if you click the video and then you watch for a long time, YouTube recommends it more.
00:57:52.000I think skateboarders really... Not for the most part, because a lot are probably just not paying attention, but at the core, like these authoritarian leftists and the weird social justice stuff, it's fake social justice, it's authoritarian, and it's the antithesis of skateboarding.
00:58:06.000Skateboarding's all about you conquering by yourself.
00:58:09.000Like, a skateboarder will tell you, hey man, you gotta do it.
00:58:22.000So I started getting hit up by skateboarders telling me they agreed and stuff, and I'm like, some people that I've known since I was a kid and looked up to, I was like, wow, man.
00:59:45.000I asked some people I know who have familiarity with the gentleman club enterprises, strippers, I know some strippers, and I asked them, and they told me that was stripping.
00:59:56.000They said that what people don't realize about stripping is that a lot of strip clubs don't allow full nudity.
01:00:03.000So the women wear sports bras and sports running shorts, and when they strip, They're still fully clothed underneath.
01:00:12.000And so I was specifically told about that video.
01:00:13.000They were like, oh yeah, like in South Dakota, 100% that's legit stripping.
01:00:18.000Like that would be considered stripping to any stripper in like these areas and these jurisdictions.
01:00:22.000So is this, who's okay with this video?
01:00:27.000So this is the point I was getting to, like, where I think things might be starting to break, maybe, is that somebody was attacking the alt-right, posted the picture, and said something like, right-wingers keep trying to post this to attack this poor child or something, and then I looked at the comments, and the comments were all like, uh, no, I kind of agree, that's messed up, like, what the, like, oh my, like, is this kid dancing?
01:00:56.000I don't know which channels I want to call them out and get in trouble, but a bunch of channels are, like, praising this and cheering for it.
01:01:01.000Yeah, dude, it's getting nuts out there, man.
01:02:03.000So they were like, we get it, we get it, male means you were born with, you know, XY and female means XX, and then there's intersex and things in between.
01:02:10.000Over time, they've been erasing that entirely and completely arguing that there's no such thing as biological sex.
01:02:16.000And it's funny because I tell people this and they say, that's not true, no one's saying that.
01:02:20.000Nicholas Matt a professor from Toronto on public access television in a debate with Jordan Peterson said several years ago It is not correct that there is a such thing as biological sex Normally, I like pulling it up to prove it to people.
01:02:37.000So here's the real story There's biological males that have taken no hormones, undergone no treatments, and they're racing against biological females.
01:02:58.000In the case, the attorney was on a conference call with the judge, and the judge said, you cannot, my order, is that you cannot refer to these athletes, the males, as male.
01:03:10.000You must call them transgender female.
01:03:14.000Think about what that means in a court argument.
01:03:16.000Your honor, I believe these females should not be allowed to compete against these females, because these females have a direct advantage based on their female anatomy.
01:03:24.000Well, you'd have to say these transgender females against these females.
01:03:27.000They're not transgender females, though.
01:03:29.000But that's... oh, I thought that was the order.
01:03:53.000The judge doesn't seem to understand, but more importantly, whether he understands or not, I'm sure people will argue what transgender female really means anyway.
01:05:15.000That's what really bothers me the most about these people.
01:05:18.000That's what I think all of this stuff is.
01:05:20.000When I was at Occupy Wall Street, having these white progressives tell me that I didn't understand racism, I'm like, bro, do I got to say it?
01:06:01.000It's insane how bigoted these people have become while claiming, like, you know, you know, you know, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect quote for this.
01:06:09.000What is it, um... Be careful when fighting monsters, lest you become one.
01:06:13.000For when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.
01:06:17.000They started saying, racism is bad, we're gonna fight for it, and they became the overt racists.
01:06:22.000And now it's like... But it's not just about race, it's about the bigotry, right?
01:06:26.000They said, we're gonna fight for the rights of minority groups, and they're literally taking away the right of females to have a competitive sport.
01:06:33.000It's like all the fight that women have fought for, for all these years, for everything.
01:11:10.000We talked about this before, and you explained it perfectly.
01:11:13.000The reason why is because there isn't as many women to compete against.
01:11:18.000So when a woman goes out there, and they do a kickflip to 5-0 on a rail, It's like, oh wow, that's the best trick done, so they don't have to raise the bar too high to win.
01:11:38.000Why is it that a prepubescent 11-year-old boy, no puberty, was able to pull off a record-breaking historical move in skateboarding history?
01:11:50.000Where are the 11-year-old females doing the same thing?
01:11:53.000It's because prenatal testosterone plays a huge role.
01:11:57.000So my question is, if we're gonna allow trans athletes, transgender, you know, people born male, to compete in the women's division, no matter what is done, no matter if they get their testosterone levels down, they will have an advantage, period. 100%.
01:12:20.000I'm not gonna shout out some of these people, because some of them are pro now, so I'll leave them to their own, I'm not gonna get them dragged into this.
01:12:25.000But I've competed against some people who are, like, much, much younger than me, who absolutely destroyed me at my prime.
01:12:31.000Like, little kids, just so good, I'm like, this is nuts!
01:12:34.000I'm an adult man, these kids are just wiping the floor with me in this contest.
01:12:38.000But we don't see the same thing from, you know, eight-year-old girls or nine-year-old girls.
01:12:43.000There have been some, like, pretty good moves from little kids, you know, younger females.
01:12:48.000Well, I mean, I have to just bring in the whole societal impact of what a girl should be and what, like, girls' dolls, Barbies, like, the whole thing.
01:12:58.000Guys, you know, a boy sees skateboarders and there's not that many female skateboarders to look up to.
01:13:15.000So, you know, growing up, you know, there's gonna be more 11 year old skateboarders making, you know, boy skateboarders making history, you know, over the girls.
01:13:24.000So that does come into play, you know?
01:14:26.000Like, you know, a younger girl's not gonna see any, like, you know, super pop, like, well-known females breaking records or anything like that.
01:14:55.000So now that we're now that we're basically banned from YouTube forever because they're going to claim and, you know, hate speech or whatever nonsense.
01:15:26.000Whenever you're having an argument, if you say, well, I have friends who are X, they immediately snip that, take that, and attack you for it.
01:15:31.000Well, the reason why is because I've actually had conversations with them.
01:15:35.000So, like, I'm going off my own experiences of what they've told me.
01:16:13.000There will never be a moment where Ben Shapiro leads a pitchfork mob of, you know, black-clad, masculine people and he's like, listen, you can't have a debate in this building because it's offensive to me and my people, so we're gonna burn your building down.
01:16:35.000The left just shows up and screams re and throws a brick.
01:16:37.000Yeah, you're never gonna see, like, I mean, maybe there will be some, you know, there are some conservative, because nobody's perfect, but it's lopsided.
01:16:44.000There's very few people on the right that would ever try and pull something like that off.
01:17:29.000You wanna discredit all the people that are trying to yell that he didn't actually do it, and he reverted out at the last bit, which is total BS, by the way.
01:17:38.000I've heard people argue that he did the 1080, but he did a quick, nah, get out of here.
01:21:28.000I'm just saying, like, people seem to think when you see a video you don't like on YouTube and you give it a thumbs down, it really, really hurts the video.
01:21:35.000That's one of the reasons they disable it.
01:21:38.000But you can still like or dislike it, even if they hide it.
01:23:16.000Well, don't the lungs like build up this huge like defense system if you're a smoker I was a smoker for a long time and when I quit I hacked up stuff for like a year straight Seriously, and it's probably what it was Yeah.
01:27:24.000They're going to be like, we'll give you a million dollars, and you can go live in your mansion, and then we're all going to walk away from it.
01:29:14.000You're like, oh, I'm all excited because, you know, I get out at like 10, and then I'm going to go to my friend's place, get there by like 11, and then they go, nah, you're doing mandatory because a flight got delayed.
01:29:22.000So it was kind of crazy because one flight could get delayed.
01:29:53.000I think they're coming out over time because there's two factors.
01:29:56.000If Trump doesn't get reelected, then these people get away with everything.
01:30:00.000And so the safest bet is to release as much as they can before the election, but also timing it strategically because it will help Trump get reelected.
01:30:06.000Yeah, I don't think the Democrats like any of this.
01:30:47.000He said he didn't understand why the black communities in the US vote for Democrats when the Democrats keep giving them bad policies that hurt their community.
01:31:15.000He's got some really great points on life.
01:31:17.000But it's interesting because he's, you know, coming from an outside perspective looking at how Americans, you know, vote in the black community.
01:32:19.000Like, I went to an event in Texas, and there were a bunch of white dudes with body armor and, like, rifles.
01:32:25.000And they're holding them and they're standing around, and then a dude, a black dude walks up with a shirt that said, Black Guns Matter, and he walked up and he shook all their hands, and they were hanging out.
01:32:33.000And I'm like, There's no problems here, man.
01:32:36.000The 2A people aren't freaking out that the Black Panthers showed up.
01:32:39.000The Black Panthers showed up in Virginia to defend the Second Amendment, and they were like, thank you for being here.
01:32:44.000The media is lying about who these people are.
01:32:47.000They want you to think it's a bunch of racists when it's not.
01:34:17.000Nodar says, Heard you say you were thinking about getting a Flow Hive.
01:34:20.000Be careful, some plants bees use produce honey that is almost solid and won't flow, thus making it almost impossible to remove without damage.
01:35:09.000It's like, I think the bees might be like a, um, local safeties, like concerns or something.
01:35:15.000I mean, we really need to save the bees that people are out killing bees now because they're so afraid of murder, the murder hornets or something.
01:35:22.000Somebody went and burned a bunch of hives down.
01:36:45.000It'd be cool to have our own skateboards, because then I never have to worry about buying them if I just get used to the same boards.
01:36:49.000Got to find a good company that makes boards, though, because, you know, I really like Deluxe, you know, Real and Antihero.
01:36:55.000I can picture this body pillow though just like the top half is like a big beanie and then like some you know your face.
01:37:01.000Oh the pillow itself could be the top like it could be like you know yeah like you know beanie material yeah yeah yeah and then we'll have to replicate that shirt and no legs though you don't have any no it's gotta be it's gonna be an anime version of me right oh not as fun well it'll be funny and then one for you as well Sure.
01:42:04.000Sneaky Sobey says, I was reminded of the existence of Tim Allen's Home Improvement this weekend, and the show within the show of Tool Time.
01:42:10.000If you ever decide to change the name of your podcast, think Pool Time would be fairly fitting.
01:42:15.000But I think that would be more of like a silly, fun hangout thing with some skateboarding.
01:45:10.000It is peak, absolute authoritarianism.
01:45:13.000But it doesn't say anything to the economic system.
01:45:16.000So you can have a far-right authoritarian system that, you know, basically beats you down, forces people to do things, has strict laws, but you're allowed to trade within certain confines.
01:45:27.000And then you can have, like, you know, far-left communism, where you get fed what you get fed, and there's a command economy controlling everything.
01:45:34.000I don't know if you guys have thoughts on that.
01:46:00.000We know the chemicals cause excruciating pain, but they paralyze you beforehand for, you know, the people executing you so you don't scream and shriek.
01:48:20.000Who do you think's gonna survive in a total apocalyptic scenario?
01:48:25.000The urban liberals, who are demanding money from the government, or the conservatives, who live in semi-rural areas, who believe in personal responsibility.
01:48:39.000I'm not really advocating for that, but what are these, like, they don't seem to understand, like, how much their, dude, New York would be a nightmare.
01:48:46.000God, I'm so glad I don't, I'm not there anymore.
01:48:48.000People will be drinking each other's blood.
01:49:46.000Because when I worked for Fusion, which is like super far left, I got invited onto Fox News, and they told me to go do it, and I was like, okay.
01:49:53.000And then a bunch of people at the company got mad at me, and I was like, but they told me to do this!
01:51:29.000The Last Chicken Nugget says, I can't wait for the 20, 30 years from now when a document titled, The New American Civil War magically comes to light.
01:51:38.000The Buzz says, Sidney Powell and Tim Fitton deserve the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
01:51:44.000John Burkett says, Tim, shirt tug game on point.
01:51:47.000But see, the problem is, no one's ever pointed out the shirt tug thing before, and I've been wearing this shirt for like, what, two years now?
01:52:46.000And they're pointing at him, and he lays down to take his gun away.
01:52:49.000And then there are videos where there's, like, two guys that walk around with guns, and the police are like, just want to make sure they're not automatic.
01:52:59.000Because there was a video I saw of a white guy with, uh, it was legally a pistol, but it was modified, so as far as, like, the average person could tell from far away, it looked like a rifle.
01:54:08.000Mark says, see the White House press conference, I think about five different reporters asked the same question about tests, despite getting the same answers.
01:55:57.000LR Design Studios, Lori Sullivan says, the left is becoming irrelevant as more people realize the conversation is on the right and the left only shames and screeches.
01:56:48.000Cranberry says, our goal, the right, is liberty and tolerance.
01:56:52.000So if you can tolerate us and not call us, including liberals and conservatives, evil, God willing.
01:56:57.000Nicholas says, Tim, Jesus, Lydia, do you think that in the near future with devices like Neuralink, politics will get more or less divided?
01:58:29.000That, like, refuse to be re-loaded into new bodies.
01:58:32.000For those that aren't familiar with the show, it's basically like, if you die, there's a device in your neck that stores your consciousness, and they can transfer it to a new body.
01:58:39.000So that will change a whole lot of our perception about, you know, race and stuff like that.
01:58:44.000Gender, but it's not it's not so much about the changing bodies that I'm bringing up.
01:58:47.000It's the virtual reality like dude if People are gonna want to live in the in the world where they can control things and be happy and it's like yeah But more about the politics side of it though It's because we're gonna become more connected and and that's really what the question is is whether or not it's gonna be more or less divided and I think it's gonna be less because we're gonna be connected on such a Like, we're already more connected in this, like, the internet right now.
01:59:14.000We're connected to a bunch of people who are connected to a bunch of people.
01:59:17.000But, I think, I would say yes, the problem is the interference from the big companies, the censorship, has created, has made the divide a hundred times worse.
02:00:04.000If everyone, in my opinion, if every single person in the country voted, you'd have a whole bunch of people who don't know, don't care, and don't want to vote voting.
02:00:11.000But do you think that they would be the majority?
02:00:15.000That whoever they voted for would be the person who got the power then?
02:00:21.000Or the people who pay attention are the majority, that they would actually make the decision?
02:03:10.000Yeah, but that's a good point though, the whole Borg thing.
02:03:14.000That's kind of what I'm trying to lean towards.
02:03:16.000It's like, sure, it might not be like one voiceless, you know, whirr in our head that you don't really know what's happening, but if all of us are, every single person is like engaging and That's what Twitter is.
02:03:31.000Yeah, but Twitter, as you told me, is only like, what, 2% of the population?
02:03:35.000Those 2% of people who are active and engaged on Twitter are ripping each other's heads off and at war.
02:04:02.000In the Revolutionary War- But we're not there yet.
02:04:04.000In the Revolutionary War- They weren't connected in their brains, this is a whole nother thing we're not- we don't understand yet because we're not there.
02:04:09.000Dude, it doesn't matter if one person takes a gun and goes and starts shooting people, and then someone else reacts to it, the majority can say no, all they want, it won't change what's happening.
02:04:17.000Okay, so when the majority in the rebel in the colony said no to war and the revolutionary said we're doing it anyway, right?
02:04:23.000They did it anyway, okay so if you have everybody plugged in and 70% of people are saying everyone shut up will stop then someone's gonna be like I'm being oppressed and they're gonna go out and do something nuts and the other faction is like we warned you all and you told us to stop and now look what's happening and that's literally what's going on with Twitter and Facebook and YouTube and Okay.
02:04:40.000Even though the majority of people are saying Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, leave me alone,
02:04:43.000the warring factions are still showing up in the street, punching each other,
02:04:46.000and everything's still going nuts. So even if you connected everybody into everyone's minds,
02:04:51.000it's always most people who say no, stop, I don't want to be involved,
02:04:54.000and then a small handful of crazies pick up arms and go nuts, and it drags everybody into it.
02:04:58.000Yeah, I'm not saying that that can't happen.
02:05:55.000Where words like, phrases like, critical race theory, social justice, feminism, racism, skyrocketed, like, several, like, just thousands of times.
02:06:30.000Right, the specifics of them, but as a whole, I don't know if I agree with that.
02:06:34.000You plug everybody in, and you're still going to have 80% of people saying,
02:06:38.000I don't care, and I'm not paying attention. And then of the small factions, you're going to have
02:06:41.000people vying for influence, lying and manipulating to gain that influence. Then you will see all of
02:06:46.000these people right now who don't read Vox and BuzzFeed, now they're plugged into it, and the
02:06:51.000access is substantially easier, and it can just appear in front of them or whatever the circumstance
02:06:56.000is where they can just know it. And now you've rapidly hyperpolarized all of the masses.
02:07:01.000But at the same time, right now, we're seeing this shift where people are starting to look over at those people and be like, actually, you're not right.
02:07:10.000Actually, you seem pretty ignorant on what's actually going on, and you're just screaming.
02:07:14.000And, you know, we're already seeing a shift.
02:07:27.000In a town of millions of people, it takes only hundreds to destabilize everything.
02:07:32.000During Occupy Wall Street, it took one pepper spraying to spark a national movement.
02:07:36.000So if you have most people saying enough, perhaps what could happen is these establishment
02:07:43.000resistance types get backed into a corner and then snap.
02:07:45.000And then say our only opportunity is to go nuts because we've lost all our power.
02:07:52.000First of all, I think if you have Neuralink, you're not going to get people forced to do anything, which means they'll still ignore everything.
02:08:01.000It basically just means that you've got your phone in your head.
02:08:04.000Well, people still don't use Twitter, even though they can use their phone to get it if they wanted to.
02:08:16.000The moment Neuralink flips on a switch where it says we're taking your free will, there will be riots, explosions, and humanity will eat itself alive.
02:08:26.000So, there's going to be a lot of people who reject it.
02:08:28.000There's going to be, you know, Luddites and people who refuse to get it.
02:08:33.000It could be 100 or 200 years when most people are totally fine with it, and then they implement the The evil overlord presses the button and activates no free will or something.
02:08:43.000But there will always be some people who won't wire in.
02:13:07.000Hudson says, I don't think the Arbery saga and the subsequent fake news and hate crime hoax is going to reinforce tribalism on partisan lines.
02:13:14.000It's probably designed to instigate race riots.
02:13:54.000Let's see, Darth Zeketh says, did you hear about the police officer Greg Anderson in Washington that got fired for a YouTube video speaking out about liberty and integrity?
02:14:06.000Big Daddy says, do you guys ever struggle with the thought of maybe being annoying to close friends or family for having political opinions and really like talking about controversial subjects?
02:14:32.000It's annoying when you talk their ears off and they don't care.
02:14:34.000But I'll tell you what, if someone came to me and said, Hey, I heard that Trump did a backflip and he didn't, I'd be like, well, that's, he didn't do a backflip.
02:14:41.000I can show you the article if you're interested.
02:18:02.000Nope Nope says, did you guys see the Seattle police officer who made the video telling cops to adhere to the constitution and protect citizens' rights has been fired.
02:18:10.000Seattle PD basically proved his whole point.
02:18:41.000Paxton Fairbanks says, Utah used firing squads for the religious reason of blood atonement and was the last state to execute someone with a firing squad.
02:19:49.000That could make them way more conservative.
02:19:51.000So, maybe that results in them reopening, I guess would be a good thing.
02:19:55.000Featherfall says the reason the big cities in Texas are blue is due to West Coasters moving here for the lower living costs they otherwise couldn't afford in Cal.
02:20:04.000They moved to cities because they refused to live in the bush.
02:20:33.000Bukalik says, I started watching your videos after the Rogan show and I have to say, if every news agency were as honest in reporting facts as you, fake news wouldn't be a thing.
02:21:50.000Doctor says, also within two days of making a Twitter account and getting over 4,000 unique impressions on a comment on one of your tweets, they de-boosted me censorship is real.
02:24:59.000But follow Adam because you can send him stories.
02:25:02.000So while I'm doing my thing throughout the day, Adam's getting your suggestions that when you come and do this live show, we talk about your ideas.
02:25:11.000And I just tweeted something out, so hit me up.
