Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - TimcastIRL - Elon Musk DEFIES Government, Will Reopen Factory But Says ARREST ME BRO!

00:00:00.000 You You Obama gate

00:00:12.000 Donald Trump tweeted Obamagate.

00:00:14.000 It is the biggest tweet in the world, the most replied, the most retweeted, the most quoted.

00:00:19.000 Obamagate, what does it mean?

00:00:21.000 The most?

00:00:21.000 Is that true?

00:00:22.000 Yeah.

00:00:22.000 Out of all?

00:00:23.000 Wow.

00:00:23.000 Out of everything.

00:00:24.000 Everything.

00:00:25.000 It's big, huh?

00:00:26.000 It's Twitter right now.

00:00:28.000 That's all he said.

00:00:28.000 Obamagate.

00:00:30.000 Man, there's too much to talk about for Obamagate.

00:00:31.000 We're not talking about Obamagate.

00:00:32.000 I 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.

00:00:41.000 Much better.

00:00:42.000 Elon Musk said, arrest me, bro.

00:00:44.000 What you gonna do?

00:00:44.000 Do it.

00:00:45.000 No, he actually tweeted out... Watch, he gets arrested.

00:00:48.000 I don't think so.

00:00:49.000 That'd be nuts.

00:00:51.000 I mean, Texas arrested a salon... Or was it Texas or was it Florida?

00:00:55.000 Texas.

00:00:55.000 It was Texas.

00:00:56.000 Salon owner.

00:00:57.000 This is great.

00:00:58.000 I mean, it's California.

00:01:00.000 It wouldn't surprise me if he got arrested.

00:01:02.000 So we actually have a very fun first hour.

00:01:06.000 So we got Elon Musk basically saying, I'm reopening my factory.

00:01:09.000 You can't do anything about it.

00:01:10.000 Come at it, bro.

00:01:11.000 Yeah, come arrest me.

00:01:11.000 He was like, if anyone's gonna be arrested, arrest me.

00:01:14.000 And so he's getting ragged on by the left, and it's like a weird culture war thing.

00:01:18.000 But Elon Musk is actually in the right for a lot of reasons we'll talk about.

00:01:22.000 But this brings us to the next bit is that there's a bunch of prisoners caught on tape trying to catch COVID.

00:01:27.000 This is crazy.

00:01:28.000 You know why?

00:01:29.000 Because they'll probably get out, right?

00:01:30.000 Exactly.

00:01:32.000 So now they're like, hey, get me sick so I can go home.

00:01:34.000 Let me get that get out of jail for COVID.

00:01:37.000 But the salon owner, lock her up! 1.00

00:01:39.000 Well, I mean, they let her go.

00:01:42.000 Well, because of the intervention.

00:01:43.000 I know.

00:01:44.000 But, like, think about how insane it is.

00:01:46.000 I know.

00:01:47.000 They're exploiting the system to escape the switch.

00:01:48.000 You know what, man?

00:01:49.000 All right.

00:01:49.000 Anyway, welcome to the show, everybody.

00:01:50.000 This is Tim Castellaro on podcast.

00:02:04.000 Yeah, I am.

00:02:05.000 She bears the burdens.

00:02:05.000 It's true.

00:02:08.000 And a little Skyrim joke for y'all.

00:02:16.000 Like, oh, share.

00:02:17.000 I don't know.

00:02:23.000 Oh! 0.60

00:02:23.000 You see that? 0.60

00:02:24.000 Yo! 1.00

00:02:24.000 First try. 1.00

00:02:25.000 I'm getting good at this.

00:02:27.000 Follow me.

00:02:27.000 Hit me up on Twitter.

00:02:29.000 For those that are only listening, Adam is excited because he successfully pointed to his name on the screen.

00:02:33.000 First try.

00:02:34.000 First try right away.

00:02:34.000 First try.

00:02:35.000 First try?

00:02:36.000 Yeah, it's great.

00:02:37.000 But yeah, you should absolutely follow Adam because you can send him story ideas.

00:02:42.000 Please do.

00:02:42.000 On the Twitters.

00:02:43.000 Yeah.

00:02:44.000 At AdamKrigler.

00:02:45.000 And then we actually use those stories.

00:02:46.000 So yeah, man, don't forget also hop into the super chat because we're going to be reading questions and comments and all that good stuff.

00:02:53.000 But do your best if you're going to super chat to try and put the specific context in it.

00:02:57.000 Because oftentimes people will be like, they'll say something like, man, I disagree with that.

00:03:01.000 That's crazy.

00:03:01.000 And we'll be like, What?

00:03:02.000 We don't know what you're referring to, so it really helps if you want to get to the specifics of the question, make it easier for us.

00:03:07.000 But we got a bunch of stories.

00:03:08.000 We might actually get to a few other stories.

00:03:11.000 Donald Trump giving a smackdown to the press is always fun.

00:03:14.000 But we got a story.

00:03:15.000 This kid, this 11-year-old kid, nailed the first ever... It was a fakie 1080, I'm pretty sure.

00:03:19.000 Yeah, that's sick.

00:03:20.000 So 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.

00:03:28.000 11-year-old skateboarder breaks a record, landing the first ever 1080, and we've got another story about transgender athletes.

00:03:34.000 So there's a lot of questions that come up around puberty and testosterone, I think we can talk to.

00:03:38.000 But the first story, and what we gotta get to, Mr. Elon Musk. Elon Musk defies coronavirus order and asks

00:03:46.000 to be arrested. Kind of.

00:03:48.000 I know my title for the video, he said, arrest me bro, is much more exaggerated than what they said.

00:03:53.000 But he basically said if anyone's gonna be arrested, I just ask it's only me.

00:03:57.000 I mean, it's basically the same.

00:03:59.000 That's pretty fair.

00:04:00.000 There's a lot going on here, man.

00:04:02.000 And it's funny because Elon Musk is getting dragged, but he's absolutely in the right on this one for so many reasons.

00:04:07.000 But let's read the story to get you the context.

00:04:09.000 The Verge writes Tesla is reopening its California car factory against Alameda County's wishes.

00:04:15.000 They 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.

00:04:24.000 The order restricted all but essential businesses from performing anything other than the most minimal operations, like processing payroll.

00:04:31.000 After initially fighting the order, Tesla shut down the factory on March 23rd.

00:04:35.000 Musk 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.

00:04:44.000 and Musk had Tesla file a lawsuit against the county on Saturday in protest.

00:04:49.000 On Monday, Newsom said that the state has had very constructive conversations with the county

00:04:53.000 officials and Tesla representatives, and that he hopes the company could open up as early as next

00:04:58.000 week. Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty told the New York Times this past weekend that

00:05:03.000 the county and Tesla had been close to an agreement to reopen the factory on May 18th,

00:05:07.000 but that was before Musk lashed out and filed the lawsuit on Saturday.

00:05:11.000 Tesla started making cars over the weekend, as The Verge reported earlier on Monday.

00:05:15.000 So apparently, what, they've already broken the order, it sounds like.

00:05:18.000 And told all of the employees that it placed on furlough to get ready to get back to work.

00:05:22.000 Those employees have been told they can stay home if they feel uncomfortable, but have to take unpaid leave in order to do so.

00:05:29.000 Wow.

00:05:30.000 Other automakers.

00:05:31.000 Yeah, but it's a furlough.

00:05:32.000 Can't they just file and get the claim like everybody else does through the government or the Trump bucks or something?

00:05:36.000 I think most people haven't even got it anyway, though.

00:05:36.000 Yeah, I guess.

00:05:38.000 I actually know somebody who used to work at Tesla, and I know for a fact that Elon works his employees pretty tough and hard anyway.

00:05:45.000 Yeah.

00:05:45.000 So, it's like, that's kind of brutal.

00:05:47.000 Like, yeah, you can stay home if you're uncomfortable, but you're not going to get paid.

00:05:51.000 But why would they get paid if they don't come to work?

00:05:54.000 True.

00:05:54.000 Everyone's furloughed.

00:05:54.000 I mean, are they getting unemployment, though?

00:05:57.000 That's up to them to file.

00:05:58.000 Is that what... I mean, furloughed means you're... Not getting paid.

00:06:01.000 Right, but you're not fired.

00:06:03.000 Right.

00:06:03.000 So, can you get unemployment if you're not fired?

00:06:06.000 Yes.

00:06:07.000 Oh, okay.

00:06:07.000 Specifically, the CARES Act covers that.

00:06:09.000 Oh, cool, cool.

00:06:10.000 All right.

00:06:11.000 So let's just pull up Mr. Musk's tweet here.

00:06:14.000 He said, Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules.

00:06:18.000 I will be on the line with everyone else.

00:06:20.000 If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.

00:06:24.000 So he's gonna be down on the line working the factory also.

00:06:28.000 Is that what he's saying?

00:06:29.000 Like, I'll be on the line too?

00:06:31.000 Am I right?

00:06:32.000 Okay.

00:06:32.000 Interesting.

00:06:34.000 So 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.

00:06:44.000 So Elon Musk was like, all right, great, here we go, awesome.

00:06:47.000 And then Alameda County specifically intervened and was like, nope.

00:06:51.000 The mayor of Fremont, where the plant is, said yes.

00:06:55.000 What?

00:06:55.000 Yup, so Alameda is seemingly interfering with arbitrary rules that, it's like, why?

00:07:01.000 What?

00:07:01.000 Yeah, why?

00:07:02.000 Messing with Elon.

00:07:03.000 That's gotta be it.

00:07:04.000 The other point, why Elon Musk is in the right.

00:07:06.000 He said, you don't have to come to work.

00:07:09.000 It's crazy because we're seeing all of these people on the left say things like, Elon Musk is a whiny baby putting his employees at risk.

00:07:15.000 It's like, the employees... Not at all.

00:07:18.000 Well, don't they as human beings have agency to decide whether to work or not?

00:07:22.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:07:22.000 It's like, you don't want to get sick, man, just stay home.

00:07:24.000 Yes, I said that.

00:07:25.000 You can stay home if you're uncomfortable.

00:07:27.000 So are they like trying to insinuate he's a slave driver?

00:07:30.000 He's gonna snatch him up from their house and drop him in the factory and lock all the doors?

00:07:34.000 Work.

00:07:35.000 Slave.

00:07:37.000 So you were saying you know somebody who's to work there, right?

00:07:39.000 Yeah.

00:07:40.000 Their argument against him, well, this woman, Lorena Gonzalez, who's like a really controversial Democrat in San Diego, said, F Elon Musk.

00:07:47.000 Like, just snapped.

00:07:49.000 Yeah, and Elon Musk responded, message received.

00:07:53.000 But she was claiming that he like, he's a bad boss.

00:07:56.000 He overworks people.

00:07:57.000 Well, I have heard that firsthand.

00:08:00.000 But at the same time, well, he doesn't work for him anymore, but he still enjoyed working for Tesla.

00:08:00.000 That he overworks people?

00:08:06.000 It's not like he was... I mean, it was stressful, but he liked his job.

00:08:11.000 It was enjoyable for him.

00:08:13.000 So it wasn't like he left angrily, you know?

00:08:16.000 So, I don't know.

00:08:18.000 It doesn't make sense for someone to say F you.

00:08:22.000 Yeah, I mean that's nuts.

00:08:23.000 Yeah, you can always quit, exactly.

00:08:24.000 I agree with that.

00:08:25.000 The 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. 1.00

00:08:34.000 It was a crazy bill.

00:08:35.000 It was the gig economy bill that basically said if you're a writer you can only write like 35 pieces per year.

00:08:41.000 Yeah, because the unions were like, hire full-time employees or don't hire or don't contract because contracts undermine labor rights.

00:08:41.000 What?

00:08:49.000 Okay.

00:08:50.000 So she was like, you got it.

00:08:52.000 And then all of these lefty writers started like, at first, they were like, we did it, everybody.

00:08:56.000 We won union rights.

00:08:57.000 Yay.

00:08:58.000 And then the year that then December came around, and they got a notification from all of their companies saying, we're terminating your contracts.

00:09:04.000 And they were like, But what now?

00:09:09.000 The funny thing about that was Vox.com wrote an article saying a major win for progressives, this bill that this woman passed.

00:09:17.000 And then Vox ended up laying off thousands, severing the contracts of thousands of writers at January 1st.

00:09:24.000 And all these people, it's like, dude, you were cheering for this.

00:09:27.000 But it's not like people that actually worked at Vox, right?

00:09:29.000 It was more like the people that they did hired like per per article.

00:09:34.000 Right. Yeah. But it's like you might have a contract with Vox where it says we want

00:09:38.000 you to write 20 articles per week.

00:09:39.000 OK. That's your job.

00:09:41.000 It's the reason you're a contractor is because same thing, though, as what I don't

00:09:46.000 know, as someone that would be hired to write an article like technically.

00:09:49.000 So here's the issue.

00:09:51.000 The reason that they would contract you for a writing job is because you can do it anywhere at any time, so long as you deliver.

00:09:58.000 So basically put it this way.

00:09:59.000 If I was like, yo Adam, I need from you a little wooden boat.

00:10:05.000 I need five of those every week.

00:10:07.000 I'd start whittling.

00:10:08.000 Just whittle, but you whittle when you feel like it.

00:10:11.000 You could whittle all in one day if you want.

00:10:13.000 Just as long as every Sunday you get me those five little boats, I'm gonna put them in my shop.

00:10:16.000 Why would I have to hire you as an employee of my company?

00:10:19.000 You run your own company.

00:10:20.000 You're a boatmaker.

00:10:21.000 You know what I mean?

00:10:22.000 Well, unless I am hired as your company.

00:10:25.000 Because if not, there's the other side.

00:10:28.000 You can hire an actual boatmaker.

00:10:30.000 You can contract someone who does really good whittling boats.

00:10:33.000 Or I can work here and work for you as part of your company.

00:10:37.000 But I would be in the union and that Whittler wouldn't be in the union.

00:10:41.000 And then you couldn't sell any of your wood products to anyone else?

00:10:43.000 It's gonna be fun.

00:10:44.000 But I would be in the union and that whittler wouldn't be in the union. 0.98

00:10:48.000 Isn't that kind of the difference?

00:10:49.000 And then you couldn't sell any of your wood products to anyone else.

00:10:52.000 My boats.

00:10:53.000 No, no, no.

00:10:54.000 So the point is...

00:10:55.000 The whittled boats that I make.

00:10:56.000 Let's say you have 10 clients.

00:10:58.000 Okay.

00:10:59.000 And you whittle five boats for each client every week.

00:11:02.000 And now because of that bill, they all terminate their contracts with you.

00:11:05.000 They shut your company down.

00:11:09.000 Wouldn't you be able to sell your boats wherever you want then?

00:11:13.000 You'd think you'd be able to, but no, according to this bill, they can't contract you in this way.

00:11:17.000 Yeah, right, so this lady is responsible for terminating probably hundreds of thousands of jobs and destroying a bunch of companies and sole proprietorships. 1.00

00:11:25.000 And she got tore up! 0.96

00:11:27.000 So 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.

00:11:40.000 They're like, we don't like Elon, so we're just gonna keep his factory shut down.

00:11:43.000 I'm gonna throw some shade at the COVID argument people, because I got this tweet here.

00:11:49.000 Hold on, let me get my umbrella.

00:11:51.000 Okay, I'm ready.

00:11:51.000 Yeah.

00:11:52.000 Check it out.

00:11:53.000 Ready.

00:11:54.000 So this dude, James Todaro, MD, says, update on COVID-19 at Smithfield Meat Plant in South Dakota.

00:12:01.000 It has now been almost one month since the first employee death and three weeks since the second death.

00:12:06.000 Out of nearly 1,000 confirmed infections, still only two deaths.

00:12:11.000 Infection fatality rate is 0.2%.

00:12:13.000 Comparable to the flu.

00:12:15.000 Hmm. A little bit worse.

00:12:17.000 But the reason I bring this up is there's two points we made.

00:12:20.000 The first, to be fair, look man, you could get sick.

00:12:24.000 Yeah, you don't want to get sick It's like the flu some people die.

00:12:28.000 It's a nasty flu.

00:12:29.000 It'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.

00:12:40.000 They're fine.

00:12:42.000 They're like what ranked the 30th in terms of hospitalizations for COVID.

00:12:46.000 But you had all the press being like, you must lock down, you must shut down your economy.

00:12:50.000 And the governor was like, no, we won't do it.

00:12:53.000 So 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.

00:13:02.000 Hey, if you're healthy, you could probably beat it.

00:13:07.000 Most people who get it, it's like the flu.

00:13:10.000 Now, well, be careful because it is still serious.

00:13:12.000 It is novel, so a lot more people are still likely to get it.

00:13:15.000 But they only have a thousand confirmed infections.

00:13:18.000 That may actually be a lot, considering how many people work at the plant.

00:13:20.000 Confirmed infections, though.

00:13:22.000 So that's not counting the people that got it and don't know they got it.

00:13:25.000 Because there's a high chance of not having any symptoms at all, right?

00:13:29.000 Isn't that also something that's going on?

00:13:30.000 Yeah, asymptomatic.

00:13:31.000 So 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.

00:13:39.000 What I'm saying is it's serious.

00:13:41.000 It's, it's, there's a lot of overestimates.

00:13:44.000 We got to take it seriously.

00:13:45.000 We don't want to, we don't want anyone to die.

00:13:46.000 It's novel.

00:13:47.000 So it's worse than the flu in that regard.

00:13:48.000 More people are likely to get it, likely to get it.

00:13:50.000 It does have a higher infection rate.

00:13:52.000 I'm sorry, a higher mortality rate.

00:13:55.000 But, I'm just saying, it's not the apocalypse, not the end of the world, everyone can calm down.

00:14:00.000 You know, you don't have to worry, it's a .2 mortality rate.

00:14:04.000 Take the precautions you need to take, wear your mask, wear your protective gear.

00:14:09.000 Tesla 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.

00:14:17.000 They've also moved things around to streamline the process in the factory.

00:14:21.000 So the point I'm trying to make is, Everybody was freaking out saying the world was gonna end.

00:14:25.000 We were worried it was gonna be a lot worse than it was.

00:14:27.000 It's not the worst case scenario for, you know, for a lot of places actually.

00:14:31.000 We've seen all these studies come out.

00:14:33.000 It could be bad.

00:14:35.000 It's not the 3% we thought it was gonna be.

00:14:37.000 It's not the 4% we thought it was gonna be.

00:14:38.000 Yeah.

00:14:39.000 So, look man, I don't see why people can't choose to go back to work if they want to.

00:14:45.000 That's just it.

00:14:46.000 Elon Musk is not forcing anybody.

00:14:48.000 You can stay furloughed if you want.

00:14:49.000 You can go back to work if you want.

00:14:50.000 They're taking precautions.

00:14:51.000 And I think people, for tribal reasons, are just trying to go after Elon.

00:14:55.000 And, you know, I want to go back to that point about the Lorena Gonzalez woman, and we'll drive a little bit on this.

00:15:01.000 I 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. 0.98

00:15:14.000 Basically, unions wanted to make sure that everybody was working at the company so that the union could pressure them to join the union.

00:15:22.000 Because in California, my understanding is, if you get hired to a company that's a union, you gotta join the union.

00:15:28.000 I hate that.

00:15:28.000 Okay.

00:15:29.000 And you have to pay union dues and all that.

00:15:31.000 Imagine getting a law passed where you can force people to pay your organization.

00:15:36.000 That's messed up.

00:15:37.000 I hate it.

00:15:38.000 I don't want anything to do with your organization.

00:15:39.000 If you want the job, you gotta do it.

00:15:41.000 That may not be true.

00:15:41.000 I don't know exactly if California has that law, but a lot of places do.

00:15:45.000 There's a lot of lawsuits popping up where people are suing saying, I shouldn't have to join your union to work here.

00:15:50.000 And so I think they're winning in some of these places.

00:15:52.000 Well, I mean, why would it be?

00:15:55.000 I know it's forcing anyone to do anything is the problem that you have with it, right?

00:15:59.000 But I always was going under the assumptions that unions were a good thing, right?

00:16:04.000 They protected your rights.

00:16:06.000 Maybe 70, 80 years ago.

00:16:08.000 So you don't think we even need unions anymore?

00:16:10.000 We need collective bargaining.

00:16:12.000 Unions are messed up.

00:16:14.000 Bad.

00:16:15.000 There 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.

00:16:24.000 But they go to media companies, they convince activists to unionize, not because they need

00:16:30.000 improvements to their benefits or anything like that, but to force all the employees

00:16:34.000 to pay those union dues every month, and then the union can claim, we just added, you know,

00:16:38.000 300 new subscribers.

00:16:41.000 Imagine if you could snap your fingers and 300 people were giving you 50 bucks a month

00:16:45.000 or something.

00:16:46.000 Love that money.

00:16:47.000 Sounds pretty good.

00:16:47.000 And what do they really do for you?

00:16:49.000 Let me try it.

00:16:49.000 What do they really do for you?

00:16:51.000 It's not working.

00:16:52.000 So what we need is legit unions.

00:16:56.000 And that's the challenge.

00:16:57.000 How do you weed out the corruption and the breakdown of the system?

00:17:00.000 So the initial concept of unions was really, really great.

00:17:04.000 You know, you had a bunch of really awful conditions and all the people got together and engaged in a collective bargaining, which is fantastic.

00:17:10.000 And I'm like, I'll put it this way.

00:17:11.000 I'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.

00:17:21.000 So you end up with people who don't know what they're doing, giving up their rights.

00:17:25.000 Let 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.

00:17:33.000 It was like all of my opportunity and all my rights were gone.

00:17:36.000 Because, and whenever I had a problem, I couldn't go to my boss.

00:17:40.000 I couldn't go to the supervisors and be like, yo, I got a problem.

00:17:42.000 They'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.

00:17:47.000 That sucks.

00:17:48.000 So then I'd have to go to a union rep, and then issue my grievance.

00:17:51.000 If I wanted a raise, go to a union rep, and then you know what the rep would say?

00:17:55.000 I'm already getting your paycheck.

00:17:55.000 What?

00:17:55.000 Seriously?

00:17:56.000 I don't care.

00:17:57.000 like, well, how do we do the negotiations, man?

00:17:59.000 They come end of the year.

00:18:01.000 I'm working.

00:18:01.000 Come on, bro.

00:18:02.000 So you can do it already getting your paycheck.

00:18:04.000 I don't care.

00:18:05.000 They don't care.

00:18:06.000 That's what I hear here right now.

00:18:07.000 So like the, the, the issue I take with it is that it got so big that instead of

00:18:12.000 actually defending the rights of people, it just defends the rights of the people

00:18:15.000 who line their pockets with gold.

00:18:17.000 We had people who would run for executive board.

00:18:20.000 They'd be making an extra $20,000 a year because the union basically pays them.

00:18:26.000 That sounds like the problem with most positions of power.

00:18:29.000 It's always the same thing.

00:18:31.000 Whoever gets to the power, they're like, oh, you know, this power's pretty good and my bank account's looking pretty fantastic.

00:18:36.000 I don't really care about my morals anymore.

00:18:38.000 My bank account.

00:18:39.000 Look at my bank account.

00:18:39.000 They never cared.

00:18:40.000 Look at my bank account, though.

00:18:41.000 It's like... Yeah.

00:18:42.000 That's not... That's important.

00:18:43.000 Gotta take care of me on my own, they would say.

00:18:45.000 That's a thing.

00:18:46.000 That's why, like, for me, running these companies, we were talking about... I don't know if we talked about Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks.

00:18:52.000 Yeah, we did.

00:18:53.000 And he's, like, union-busting.

00:18:54.000 That was hilarious.

00:18:54.000 Yeah.

00:18:55.000 Nah, nah.

00:18:56.000 It's funny because he's supposed to be a progressive.

00:18:56.000 You know what it is?

00:18:58.000 My attitude is this.

00:19:00.000 I'll give you honest advice.

00:19:01.000 I 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.

00:19:07.000 Like if you want to jump into a well head first, I don't care.

00:19:10.000 I'm not going to stop you, man.

00:19:11.000 I'm all about freedom and liberty.

00:19:12.000 So you do what you got to do.

00:19:14.000 And I just think it's detrimental to the individuals.

00:19:17.000 A lot of people don't get it.

00:19:18.000 You're giving up so much to... It really depends.

00:19:18.000 They don't get it.

00:19:22.000 It's the point, right?

00:19:23.000 It's like I was mentioning.

00:19:24.000 It's corrupt organizations that lock you down, take your money, and hold you back.

00:19:29.000 Especially at... You know, to be honest, especially at a company like the Young Turks.

00:19:33.000 They're not that big.

00:19:34.000 They're pretty big.

00:19:35.000 Yeah.

00:19:36.000 But I wouldn't, I wouldn't want to be involved.

00:19:37.000 What's pretty big, like 30, 50, you know, employees?

00:19:41.000 No, I'm talking about thousands.

00:19:43.000 Oh, they have a thousand.

00:19:44.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:19:45.000 Young Turks probably has a hundred or something like that.

00:19:47.000 Yeah.

00:19:47.000 All right.

00:19:48.000 So I'm saying, yeah, they're not very big.

00:19:50.000 So that's the kind of company where you can walk up to Cenk and be like, yo, here's what I need and here's what I want.

00:19:55.000 Union gets involved, you can never do that again.

00:19:57.000 I mean, you probably could, you know, because it's still not that big.

00:20:01.000 But I'll tell you what, man, I've worked at companies that have dealt with this stuff and it's like, you lose that freedom to shine.

00:20:07.000 They cut off the tall grass, it locks you down.

00:20:10.000 It basically straps everyone's ankles together, which can be a good thing for the people who can't swim.

00:20:15.000 So, look, think about it this way.

00:20:16.000 You got 100 people all in the ocean.

00:20:19.000 You got 20 of them who can't swim, 20 of them who can swim really, really well, and the rest are average.

00:20:24.000 You 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.

00:20:31.000 I personally don't want someone chained to my leg.

00:20:34.000 That sounds horrible.

00:20:35.000 That's how I view it.

00:20:36.000 That's my view of it.

00:20:38.000 But that's why I'm saying, like, if someone came to me and they were like, I think we want to do this, I'd be like, go for it.

00:20:43.000 I don't care.

00:20:44.000 Keep me out of it.

00:20:45.000 I mean, that's why I run my company.

00:20:45.000 Yeah.

00:20:48.000 I don't... I'm not gonna... That's the thing, right?

00:20:51.000 When I worked for these companies, I was straight up like, nah, I don't want to be involved.

00:20:54.000 But 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?

00:21:05.000 Okay.

00:21:05.000 Someone 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.

00:21:14.000 Okay.

00:21:14.000 So you've got three clients that you work for.

00:21:16.000 Okay.

00:21:17.000 Like, 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.

00:21:27.000 Because of this bill, they've basically said you can no longer deliver these products to your customers.

00:21:33.000 So like, what do you do?

00:21:34.000 Do you like form an LLC then?

00:21:36.000 And now you're officially a company providing deliverables?

00:21:39.000 They've basically just said, let's say you have three different websites you write for.

00:21:45.000 And a lot of people did, had multiple sites they were writing for.

00:21:48.000 They all got their contracts severed because of this lady. 1.00

00:21:51.000 So then, What's the point?

00:21:53.000 Now I have to beg one of those companies to hire me and my company gets shut down?

00:21:59.000 That's insane.

00:22:00.000 That's empowering the big corporations, empowering venture capital, empowering big, you know, corrupt unions.

00:22:07.000 It seems to be the way everything's moving, just Walmart's taking over everything.

00:22:12.000 Oh yeah, dude, I mean- Amazon.

00:22:13.000 Talking about the lockdown and what Tesla's doing, we are seeing a bunch of small shops now defy the orders and like, F you basically.

00:22:20.000 Yeah.

00:22:20.000 Because a local, you know, like a local shoe store can't be open.

00:22:26.000 No problem.

00:22:26.000 Walmart?

00:22:26.000 Walmart sells shoes.

00:22:27.000 Yeah.

00:22:29.000 Gardening supplies?

00:22:30.000 Closed.

00:22:30.000 Walmart?

00:22:31.000 Open.

00:22:32.000 So there was like a weird loophole where it's like, if you sell booze, you can stay open.

00:22:36.000 So you're like, if you're a gardening shop, make sure you get a liquor license and sell a small case of beer.

00:22:41.000 That way you can't get shut down ever again.

00:22:43.000 It doesn't make sense.

00:22:44.000 But the bigger issue is that big box stores, major corporations were basically immune.

00:22:50.000 So all these lockdowns did was empower massive conglomerates.

00:22:54.000 Yeah, I'm sure they made a killing, man.

00:22:56.000 Well, they're losing a lot of money, but it's like, They're not sinking.

00:23:03.000 Every single time I went into any store over the past two months, it was like Sam's Club or Walmart.

00:23:10.000 I mean, those are the few places that were open.

00:23:12.000 Mad people, full carts.

00:23:15.000 Every single person I saw was just packed, a packed cart.

00:23:18.000 Well, because you can't go anywhere else anymore.

00:23:19.000 Exactly.

00:23:20.000 So it used to be like, yeah, I'll go to Walmart, pick up some paper towels, bread, milk, and eggs, right?

00:23:23.000 Yeah.

00:23:24.000 Now I'm going to go there and get shoes, a new TV, a controller for my PlayStation.

00:23:28.000 So GameStop's out.

00:23:29.000 Yeah.

00:23:30.000 They're already struggling.

00:23:31.000 I mean, I don't believe GameStop was actually still around anyway.

00:23:35.000 Yeah, because we just order stuff.

00:23:37.000 I just download my games.

00:23:37.000 We're a Best Buy.

00:23:38.000 But it's the small businesses.

00:23:40.000 Yeah.

00:23:40.000 You know, the people who did specialty jobs.

00:23:44.000 That's what we're seeing.

00:23:45.000 It'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.

00:23:52.000 That's the craziest thing.

00:23:53.000 Yeah, I don't get that.

00:23:53.000 If you run your own company, you're fine.

00:23:56.000 Well, let's get over to the next bit where it gets even crazier.

00:23:59.000 Talking about the lockdown orders and all that stuff, we have this tweet.

00:24:05.000 From 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.

00:24:22.000 21 ended up infected.

00:24:24.000 Well, they got what they wanted.

00:24:27.000 Now, could you imagine if they actually arrested Elon Musk?

00:24:30.000 Yeah.

00:24:30.000 They're not gonna do it.

00:24:32.000 But you know they're out there thinking like, oh, yes!

00:24:34.000 Some people want to.

00:24:36.000 It's a chance.

00:24:36.000 Well, there was one person that tweeted like... I bet.

00:24:38.000 I'm serious.

00:24:39.000 There was one person that tweeted like, I agree.

00:24:41.000 Arrest Elon Musk.

00:24:42.000 It's like a weird tribal thing.

00:24:43.000 Wow.

00:24:43.000 Yeah.

00:24:44.000 They're not going to, but they did arrest that salon owner in Dallas.

00:24:48.000 Yeah, and then they forced them to let her go.

00:24:51.000 Intervention from conservatives got her out.

00:24:54.000 You know, people, she made like 500 grand on a GoFundMe or something. 0.97

00:24:57.000 Yeah.

00:24:57.000 Good for her.

00:24:57.000 Yeah.

00:24:58.000 Great.

00:24:59.000 So at the same time, she was a boss.

00:25:02.000 I got to just say, she was a boss to that judge. 1.00

00:25:04.000 But think about how insane this is.

00:25:06.000 Dallas released like a thousand county jail inmates.

00:25:09.000 Insane.

00:25:10.000 Because it was Dallas that she got arrested?

00:25:12.000 Yup, same.

00:25:13.000 So we talked about this before.

00:25:14.000 What is going on?

00:25:15.000 The last time we talked about this, I was like, I don't think it's the same jurisdiction, let's be fair.

00:25:19.000 No, it was.

00:25:20.000 It was.

00:25:21.000 Dallas released like a thousand jail inmates and then put her in.

00:25:24.000 That is embarrassing.

00:25:25.000 That's insanity!

00:25:27.000 Yeah, all right.

00:25:28.000 That's probably a better word.

00:25:29.000 Now look what they're doing!

00:25:31.000 They're purposefully trying to get COVID because they know they're gonna get let go.

00:25:34.000 Check out this story.

00:25:36.000 California sheriff says inmates tried to infect themselves with coronavirus.

00:25:41.000 Two groups of inmates at a Los Angeles County jail.

00:25:44.000 This is a different story, right?

00:25:46.000 No, no, this is LA.

00:25:47.000 Okay, I think this is LA, right?

00:25:48.000 Same story?

00:25:49.000 I think so.

00:25:49.000 so. They tried to infect themselves by sharing water and a mask. Okay. And within two weeks,

00:25:54.000 30 prisoners tested positive. Sheriff Alex Villanueva at a briefing showed surveillance

00:26:00.000 videos from two dormitory units at the North County Correctional Facility in Castaic. Yeah,

00:26:04.000 okay. It's the same place. The footage captured inmates in one unit sharing a container of

00:26:08.000 hot water and others in a second unit sniffing a mask. So gross.

00:26:13.000 Let me sniff that mask, bro.

00:26:15.000 I got mask.

00:26:15.000 Hey man, you got mask?

00:26:17.000 COVID positive.

00:26:20.000 Look it up.

00:26:20.000 I'd like to go home.

00:26:21.000 Let me sniff that mask. 0.68

00:26:22.000 Yeah, my goodness.

00:26:23.000 The footage captures inmates in one unit sharing a container over there.

00:26:26.000 The sheriff said the inmates used hot water to try to raise their temperatures just before a nurse checked them.

00:26:32.000 An elevated temperature is a symptom for coronavirus.

00:26:35.000 Villanueva said the inmates mistakenly believed that if they were infected, they would be freed.

00:26:39.000 It's dismaying and it's disheartening.

00:26:41.000 None 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.

00:26:49.000 No prisoners within the county's jail system, the largest in the country, have died from the virus.

00:26:54.000 Jails and prisons nationwide have become flashpoints.

00:26:56.000 More 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.

00:27:12.000 In California, five inmates in a state prison in San Bernardino have died from COVID complications and outbreaks.

00:27:17.000 So we got this.

00:27:18.000 They say in LA County, in mid-April, the North County Correctional Facility didn't have a single case.

00:27:23.000 Days later, nine inmates were flagged as being potentially sick.

00:27:26.000 I don't know if California has actually ended up releasing anybody.

00:27:31.000 So, I'll wrap this one up.

00:27:33.000 They say for most people the coronavirus cases are mild or moderate.

00:27:36.000 We know this.

00:27:37.000 Fever, cough, yadda yadda.

00:27:39.000 For some, it's all there.

00:27:39.000 Okay, we get it.

00:27:40.000 So the inmates think they're gonna get released.

00:27:42.000 Yeah, because... This is California.

00:27:44.000 They're not letting you go.

00:27:45.000 Yeah, not in California, I guess.

00:27:47.000 Or New York, right?

00:27:47.000 It's not Texas.

00:27:48.000 Why would Texas let people go?

00:27:49.000 I don't know.

00:27:50.000 You'd think Texas is the place where they're like, son!

00:27:53.000 You got COVID, so we're giving you the chair.

00:27:56.000 The last, the last, yeah.

00:27:58.000 Pull the lever.

00:27:58.000 Just line them up.

00:28:01.000 Crank them in, crank them out.

00:28:03.000 Do they still hang people?

00:28:04.000 Everybody hold hands.

00:28:05.000 Do they still hang people in Texas?

00:28:06.000 Maybe in Texas?

00:28:08.000 I don't know.

00:28:09.000 I don't think so.

00:28:10.000 No.

00:28:10.000 What?

00:28:10.000 But they definitely have a death penalty there.

00:28:13.000 Yeah, Texas?

00:28:14.000 Yeah.

00:28:14.000 They haven't hung people for years.

00:28:17.000 I thought there was a state that just got rid of it.

00:28:19.000 Yeah, I'm pretty sure that there was a state that still hanged people.

00:28:21.000 What?

00:28:22.000 No.

00:28:22.000 I swear.

00:28:23.000 I'm looking it up right now.

00:28:23.000 Can you look it up?

00:28:25.000 I was kidding about Texas.

00:28:26.000 We love Texas.

00:28:27.000 But 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.

00:28:36.000 Yeah, that doesn't make sense.

00:28:36.000 That's nuts.

00:28:38.000 But it gets better.

00:28:39.000 Well, we gotta set examples for those salon owners that think they can open up. 1.00

00:28:39.000 It gets better. 1.00

00:28:44.000 How dare they?

00:28:45.000 We gotta set that example, man.

00:28:47.000 Or you also add in Texas.

00:28:48.000 I mean, you do have some hardcore people.

00:28:50.000 Those dudes showing up with rifles at the bar.

00:28:54.000 Big Daddy Zanes or whatever.

00:28:55.000 Big Daddy Zanes, right.

00:28:57.000 And then the police send out that big bearcat or whatever it's called.

00:29:01.000 Things are getting spicy, man.

00:29:02.000 This is nuts.

00:29:02.000 What are they doing?

00:29:03.000 Check out this story, though.

00:29:05.000 Prisoner released from facilities to limit COVID-19 spread, arrested again for crimes.

00:29:10.000 Now, this is Everett, Washington.

00:29:12.000 Oh my goodness.

00:29:12.000 They say, uh, Kami Borg is a business owner in Everett, and she knew this was inevitable.

00:29:17.000 It puts everybody at risk.

00:29:18.000 He could have broken into our store.

00:29:21.000 Instead, 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.

00:29:29.000 I'm sure glad they released this man from jail.

00:29:32.000 Oh, me too!

00:29:33.000 Well, let me ask you something.

00:29:34.000 Listen.

00:29:35.000 We do have an ethical conundrum here.

00:29:38.000 What are the moral constraints of a society when it comes to locking someone up where they could potentially be infected with a deadly disease?

00:29:46.000 Is that ethical?

00:29:48.000 Is that constitutional?

00:29:48.000 Is that moral?

00:29:50.000 It might border on cruel and unusual punishment.

00:29:53.000 Telling someone straight up, I know that you mugged that old woman and you're getting a year in jail.

00:29:58.000 Also, there's a viral contagion with a moderate mortality rate according to recent estimates that could mess you up.

00:30:05.000 Do we as a society have a right to put someone in the position?

00:30:08.000 That's a tough question, man.

00:30:09.000 I don't know.

00:30:10.000 That's why I understand and lean towards letting people out.

00:30:15.000 But they gotta do better vetting.

00:30:17.000 Like this guy?

00:30:18.000 What's the first thing he does?

00:30:19.000 He takes a bunch of meth and then goes and smashes windows with a crowbar or something?

00:30:24.000 How many times have we read stories like this?

00:30:26.000 This is like, what, the fourth or fifth?

00:30:27.000 All I can think of is the birdshot, buckshot, birdshot, buckshot.

00:30:31.000 Oh, Dave Chappelle.

00:30:31.000 He's on math, oh no!

00:30:36.000 He gets up, he's unfazed.

00:30:38.000 That was awesome.

00:30:39.000 But 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.

00:30:47.000 I think this is a major catalyst for the Boogaloo, man. 0.74

00:30:52.000 I think so, too.

00:30:52.000 The Boogaloo.

00:30:53.000 It's funny, Vice wrote about the Boogaloo Boys.

00:30:56.000 The Boogaloo Boys.

00:30:57.000 The Boogaloo movement.

00:30:58.000 It's like, calm down, Vice.

00:31:00.000 You're looking for everything everywhere.

00:31:01.000 I do think we're dangerously close to a civil war.

00:31:06.000 I don't know.

00:31:06.000 I don't, I don't know what that means.

00:31:07.000 Right.

00:31:08.000 I could just be a little excited.

00:31:10.000 I've been saying this for a while now, but I haven't been wrong.

00:31:13.000 A little fear mongering?

00:31:15.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:31:17.000 That's so unlike you.

00:31:18.000 Fear mongering would be me lying and trying to claim something so that I could drum up clicks or something.

00:31:25.000 Okay.

00:31:25.000 Me telling you my legit opinion on what's been going on over the past several years and where we at today.

00:31:29.000 That's not fear mongering.

00:31:29.000 Okay.

00:31:30.000 All right.

00:31:30.000 Sure.

00:31:30.000 Some people will say it is for sure, criticize me, but I'm being completely legit when I'm asking these questions.

00:31:35.000 Yeah.

00:31:35.000 Because listen, a bunch of dudes showed up to a grocery store.

00:31:40.000 They have body armor.

00:31:40.000 They're wearing masks.

00:31:41.000 They have rifles.

00:31:42.000 Totally legal.

00:31:43.000 Totally legal.

00:31:45.000 Then you had a bunch of people show up to this bar that was defying the governor's orders, and then a bearcat comes out.

00:31:50.000 Technically still totally legal.

00:31:52.000 They weren't inside the store, right?

00:31:52.000 Right.

00:31:54.000 It's not even that.

00:31:55.000 The governor doesn't have the right to decree that you can't do these things.

00:32:01.000 Now when it comes to business licenses, there's an argument there.

00:32:04.000 But we're still getting dangerously close.

00:32:05.000 Then you look at prisons letting people out.

00:32:08.000 Judges, telling the woman, you have to apologize to me. 0.89

00:32:11.000 Apologize now or else.

00:32:12.000 That's ridiculous.

00:32:12.000 And she was like, nope.

00:32:14.000 But I'm not even... I applaud that woman, by the way.

00:32:16.000 Yeah, seriously.

00:32:17.000 Man, when I heard her say that, I was like, oh yes!

00:32:20.000 But here's the important bit.

00:32:21.000 It's the Supreme Court of Texas.

00:32:23.000 overturned it, meaning we were always on the side of the law when we said she should not submit and apologize.

00:32:29.000 Right.

00:32:30.000 And the Supreme Court overruled the lower court.

00:32:33.000 So we and everybody who said this woman was doing the right thing was correct. 1.00

00:32:37.000 Yeah.

00:32:37.000 The scary thing is you get banned from social media because, you know, they don't care.

00:32:41.000 Yeah.

00:32:41.000 You can't you can't say these things.

00:32:43.000 But I'll tell you what right now.

00:32:44.000 We're not we won't get super political, but I got I'm good.

00:32:47.000 I'm going to I'm going to throw it Obamagate into the mix on this one.

00:32:50.000 Oh man, Obamagate.

00:32:51.000 Obamagate.

00:32:52.000 You heard him say it.

00:32:53.000 We'll bring it back to the on-the-ground stuff and the Boogaloo stuff.

00:32:55.000 Listen 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.

00:33:09.000 It seems like it.

00:33:10.000 But it's beyond that.

00:33:11.000 There'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?

00:33:19.000 Beyond that, why do we go through years of this conspiracy theory stuff?

00:33:23.000 We don't need to get too much into that because I want to keep it to the on-the-ground stuff.

00:33:28.000 But this is where it brings us today.

00:33:30.000 You've got, right now, documents being released from the Attorney General and classified documents.

00:33:37.000 And conservatives are pretty much on board with, it looks like there's something dirty here from the Obama administration, for sure.

00:33:44.000 At the very least, Obama knew, and we don't know how he knew this stuff was going on, and it's crazy.

00:33:49.000 The FBI went after Michael Flynn's kid.

00:33:51.000 They had no justification for investigating him in the first place.

00:33:54.000 They took one casual statement he made and claimed it was a lie during an investigation and used that to prosecute him.

00:33:59.000 So all of this is overturned.

00:34:01.000 You have two factions right now.

00:34:03.000 You 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.

00:34:12.000 Then 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.

00:34:23.000 It doesn't matter what you think is right, the fact is they exist.

00:34:26.000 So what happens when Trump gets reelected or what happens when this goes, when stuff like this starts happening?

00:34:31.000 So 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.

00:34:38.000 The left doesn't care about the science.

00:34:41.000 They don't care about the facts.

00:34:42.000 They don't care about the studies.

00:34:43.000 They don't care about the UN.

00:34:44.000 They don't care about the starvation.

00:34:46.000 They're saying shut up and shut down, period.

00:34:49.000 Yep.

00:34:50.000 That's scary.

00:34:51.000 It's true.

00:34:52.000 It is.

00:34:53.000 It's spreading people into two factions, like open up or not to open up.

00:34:57.000 I think the objective reality is that we can see real wrongdoing on the part of these FBI agents.

00:35:03.000 Yep, definitely.

00:35:04.000 Obama knew.

00:35:04.000 We'll see how far that goes.

00:35:05.000 I know a lot of people who have done a lot of research in this will make more definitive claims about the Obama administration.

00:35:11.000 But it stands to reason that right now the evidence shows the right is, it's like correct leans in their direction.

00:35:18.000 Especially when you look at what's going on with the lockdown, it's where things get crazy.

00:35:21.000 First of all, governors don't have the right to decree that you can't protest.

00:35:25.000 Bill de Blasio has no right to decree that you can't protest.

00:35:28.000 So the left is already in the wrong on this one.

00:35:30.000 Absolutely.

00:35:31.000 UN says starvation is coming.

00:35:33.000 We gotta reopen.

00:35:34.000 What does the left say?

00:35:35.000 People want haircuts. 0.99

00:35:37.000 Just not true.

00:35:38.000 That's not what people are protesting for.

00:35:39.000 Some people for sure, but to highlight the one person out of the, you know, hundreds of thousands.

00:35:43.000 We're seeing surfers in California and Hawaii be like, no way, dude.

00:35:43.000 Yeah, it makes no sense.

00:35:48.000 Like, insane lies from people that the virus is vaporized in the ocean shore and it'll get you sick if you go near it.

00:35:54.000 Like, that's nuts.

00:35:55.000 Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.

00:35:57.000 But then they come out and they argue that the right is anti-science and Elon Musk is anti-science.

00:36:01.000 They arbitrarily say Elon Musk can't reopen.

00:36:03.000 Wait, the right says that?

00:36:04.000 The left.

00:36:05.000 Oh, okay.

00:36:05.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:36:06.000 Did I say the right?

00:36:06.000 So the right.

00:36:07.000 Yeah.

00:36:08.000 I was like, what?

00:36:08.000 The left is arguing that you can't reopen or whatever.

00:36:12.000 Yeah, it's stupid.

00:36:13.000 So 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.

00:36:20.000 And there are substantially more people who have had this.

00:36:23.000 We've had local doctors come out, get their videos deleted from YouTube for calling this out.

00:36:29.000 The UN says if we don't reopen, 130 million will starve.

00:36:32.000 I think, at the very least, we can say, we get it.

00:36:35.000 It's serious.

00:36:36.000 People are going to lose their lives.

00:36:38.000 More people are going to lose their lives because the economy is collapsing.

00:36:41.000 We've got to get things going again so people can get food.

00:36:43.000 They don't care.

00:36:44.000 Yeah, people can go out, just wear masks, wash your hands, social distance.

00:36:49.000 We can do this.

00:36:50.000 People aren't idiots.

00:36:51.000 We can make it happen.

00:36:54.000 Well, it reminds me of that Men in Black comment, right? 0.79

00:36:56.000 A person is smart.

00:36:57.000 Okay.

00:36:58.000 People are dumb, panicky, you know.

00:37:00.000 Dangerous animals.

00:37:01.000 Dangerous animals.

00:37:01.000 Is that was the quote?

00:37:02.000 Yeah, it's a good quote.

00:37:02.000 Yeah, I love that quote.

00:37:04.000 But an individual who doesn't want to get sick.

00:37:06.000 Right.

00:37:07.000 If you want to go to Walmart, you see someone not wearing a mask, you avoid them.

00:37:10.000 You walk away.

00:37:10.000 That's true.

00:37:11.000 You sanitize your hands.

00:37:11.000 You wear gloves.

00:37:13.000 Don't touch your face.

00:37:14.000 There are ways you could protect yourself, but we also know the data has shown going outside is actually better.

00:37:18.000 66% of people who have gotten sick were staying home.

00:37:22.000 I think this was in New York, showing that the people who are going out consistently were less likely to get sick.

00:37:29.000 So the lockdown may have failed.

00:37:33.000 Yeah, I don't know what that was.

00:37:33.000 Something happened?

00:37:34.000 Who's guessed?

00:37:35.000 The lockdown may have been substantially, may have hurt us more so.

00:37:40.000 So we have all this data.

00:37:41.000 Now it's time to reassess.

00:37:42.000 What do we get?

00:37:43.000 Yep.

00:37:43.000 Tribalism saying no.

00:37:45.000 So I just think about what happens come November.

00:37:48.000 Vegas odds have Trump to win.

00:37:50.000 The polls had Biden to win, but they're dropping.

00:37:53.000 This is crazy.

00:37:54.000 There 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.

00:38:02.000 So 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.

00:38:16.000 Do these people just say like, well, gosh darn it, we lost.

00:38:19.000 I guess we'll just carry on with our lives.

00:38:21.000 I don't know.

00:38:22.000 It feels like they're becoming a minority.

00:38:25.000 Like, I don't know anybody like that anymore.

00:38:28.000 And all my friends who used to like Bernie don't really follow Bernie anymore.

00:38:33.000 They're becoming more, I say conservative, but they're not conservative, but they sure don't associate with Democrats anymore.

00:38:41.000 The left side.

00:38:42.000 And that's everybody I know.

00:38:42.000 Yeah.

00:38:44.000 Maybe, maybe then what we're really seeing is like the last remnants of the democratic establishment collapsing.

00:38:51.000 See, that makes more sense to me.

00:38:52.000 I don't, I don't think it's going to be a boogaloo.

00:38:54.000 It's going to be people are like, oh wait, we all feel the same way.

00:38:58.000 All right.

00:38:59.000 All right, good.

00:39:00.000 Well, 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.

00:39:09.000 It's the internet.

00:39:10.000 You know, yes.

00:39:13.000 But I think maybe one of the ways to look at it is Trump defeated the Republican establishment, crushed them.

00:39:20.000 They're gone.

00:39:21.000 They've either fallen in line with Trump or they've retired and they're gone.

00:39:25.000 They did it to themselves more.

00:39:26.000 What do you mean?

00:39:28.000 The Democrats?

00:39:29.000 No, the Republicans.

00:39:30.000 Trump defeated the Republican establishment.

00:39:31.000 Oh, OK.

00:39:32.000 Yeah, in 2015, 2016, when he won.

00:39:33.000 Right, right, right.

00:39:34.000 You shut him out.

00:39:36.000 And then you had the never-Trumper Republicans go, oh, harumph!

00:39:38.000 Oh, no, we'll resist!

00:39:39.000 And then they joined the Democrats.

00:39:41.000 But now you have that last vestige of the establishment collapsing.

00:39:45.000 You've got the leftist populists mocking them and laughing as they wither.

00:39:50.000 And the same thing from the right-wing populists.

00:39:52.000 Like, the elite establishment is gone.

00:39:55.000 It's true.

00:39:55.000 So maybe, yeah, that's a good point now that I think about it.

00:39:58.000 Maybe 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.

00:40:09.000 Yep, that's what I see.

00:40:12.000 For the record, he agreed with me.

00:40:14.000 Yeah, that's kind of an interesting take.

00:40:16.000 Everyone loves calling out the other way, but see, there are some times you're in agreement.

00:40:21.000 Maybe there will be no Boogaloo. 1.00

00:40:23.000 I don't think there's gonna be a Boogaloo. 0.97

00:40:24.000 It is fun to say, though.

00:40:27.000 It's from an 80s movie!

00:40:29.000 How did it become the word for Civil War?

00:40:31.000 It sounds like a really cool cat's name.

00:40:34.000 Oh, that's Boogaloo. 1.00

00:40:35.000 He's cool.

00:40:37.000 That is a good name for a cat.

00:40:38.000 Yeah, I like that.

00:40:39.000 Boogaloo. 0.61

00:40:40.000 You're welcome.

00:40:41.000 Yeah, Trump wants to reopen.

00:40:43.000 Barr is going to the states for the lockdowns.

00:40:46.000 I 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.

00:40:52.000 And the Republican governors are the opposite.

00:40:54.000 Like, yeah, let's keep open.

00:40:56.000 It's such a weird world, man.

00:40:56.000 Let's open everything.

00:40:58.000 It's weird, yeah.

00:40:59.000 Like we mentioned several times, Gallup polls showing Republicans in Congress have higher favorability now for the first time in like 20 or 30 years.

00:41:07.000 That's crazy.

00:41:08.000 I 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.

00:41:15.000 Give it time, give it time.

00:41:17.000 Give it time, yeah.

00:41:18.000 When I said all the things I said two years ago, right?

00:41:21.000 What happens two years later?

00:41:23.000 Gallup poll comes out saying Republicans have a higher favorability.

00:41:27.000 It's not because I'm making things up or lying to protect the right.

00:41:27.000 Why?

00:41:30.000 It's that the right was correct about what they were doing and the American people responded positively to it.

00:41:37.000 And so then I was like, see?

00:41:38.000 I wasn't wrong.

00:41:39.000 Donald Trump's approval rating is higher than it's ever been on average.

00:41:43.000 It's gone down a bit from its highest point but it's still higher than it's been on average.

00:41:46.000 His favorability is up.

00:41:47.000 New York Times says... My opinion of him is certainly raised up higher.

00:41:52.000 You know what it is?

00:41:54.000 I 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.

00:42:06.000 And I can feel it.

00:42:07.000 You know, when you go to that voting booth and you want to just stick it to the man by slamming down that Donald Trump lever.

00:42:13.000 Yeah.

00:42:14.000 Dude, Chuck Todd.

00:42:16.000 He's MSNBC, right?

00:42:17.000 Meet the Press?

00:42:18.000 Oh, yeah.

00:42:19.000 He put out a clip.

00:42:21.000 Okay.

00:42:21.000 out of context and got called out immediately for it.

00:42:24.000 They used to think they could get away with this.

00:42:26.000 They played a clip of Bill Barr, the Attorney General, making it seem like he was gloating,

00:42:30.000 like, ha ha, we're the winners, so we can do whatever we want.

00:42:34.000 Basically, he was asked about dropping the charges against Michael Flynn, and he said,

00:42:39.000 well, you know, history is written by the winners.

00:42:41.000 But he said, I think history will shine favorably, showing us we followed the rule of law.

00:42:46.000 They cut the last part out, so it's him laughing, going like, history is written by the winners,

00:42:49.000 like, making it seem like, they used to do this stuff.

00:42:53.000 What, and no one was for it?

00:42:55.000 They were like this is BS Yeah, and they had to apologize shut your mouth.

00:42:58.000 Yep.

00:42:59.000 That's how bad it was good like everyone called him out I called him out.

00:43:02.000 I love it Yeah.

00:43:03.000 I 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.

00:43:11.000 And then somebody showed the full clip and it was like, yeah, that's exactly what he said next.

00:43:15.000 Exactly what he said.

00:43:16.000 And you freaking knew it.

00:43:18.000 Yep.

00:43:18.000 So here's what I see, man.

00:43:20.000 I see these pundits on Twitter and they put out their like, it just insults all day.

00:43:27.000 It'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.

00:43:37.000 I'm like, these aren't ideas.

00:43:39.000 It's just so annoying.

00:43:40.000 You're just saying your opinion, and that's news?

00:43:44.000 But the lies, man, the media lies.

00:43:46.000 Yeah.

00:43:47.000 Makes me angrier and angrier.

00:43:49.000 And boy, do I not not want them to get away with all of the deception and the deceit and the lies.

00:43:54.000 And 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.

00:44:01.000 Like, people are so dumb they want to save the economy.

00:44:06.000 How dumb are they?

00:44:06.000 They just want to make rich people get richer.

00:44:09.000 And I'm like... It's like, no, that's happening already.

00:44:11.000 Right.

00:44:12.000 It's like, what?

00:44:14.000 It's the small businesses that are going under now.

00:44:16.000 Exactly.

00:44:18.000 And the supply chain, right.

00:44:20.000 How do you talk to these people, man?

00:44:22.000 I don't know.

00:44:23.000 They 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.

00:44:32.000 You can't talk to people like that.

00:44:35.000 So 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.

00:44:45.000 What do I say over Facebook to this person I've known for years?

00:44:49.000 To let them know... I sent a message to a friend of mine.

00:44:52.000 It was like a high-profile individual.

00:44:54.000 Who was saying like, no to reopening the economy.

00:44:54.000 Okay.

00:44:56.000 Okay.

00:44:57.000 And I was like, the UN says 130 million people will starve.

00:45:01.000 Should we just let those people die?

00:45:03.000 Yeah.

00:45:03.000 No response.

00:45:04.000 Just ignore it.

00:45:05.000 Yeah, because it goes against what they believe.

00:45:07.000 So they're triggered and get emotional and can't... You're just an enemy to them now.

00:45:12.000 Is it possible that what's happening?

00:45:16.000 You know, so I've always been, like both of us, well all three of us, we're like calm, rational, logical people.

00:45:21.000 And so we're driven away from these hyperbolic, emotional, like pointless reactions.

00:45:26.000 Agreed, yeah, I definitely am.

00:45:28.000 So is the right becoming a more calm and logical place?

00:45:34.000 Still with its emotional reactions, for sure.

00:45:36.000 And is the left becoming a haven for the people who just react emotionally?

00:45:40.000 I 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.

00:45:53.000 But here's what I mean.

00:45:54.000 Okay.

00:45:55.000 You are moderate.

00:45:57.000 Probably left.

00:45:58.000 Well, actually, you took the compass test.

00:45:59.000 You're a liberal.

00:46:00.000 I am on the left.

00:46:01.000 And so here you are talking about close to center, though.

00:46:03.000 Right, right, right.

00:46:04.000 That's where liberals have usually been.

00:46:04.000 That's normal.

00:46:06.000 So 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.

00:46:18.000 Which one?

00:46:18.000 Right.

00:46:19.000 And here are my reasons.

00:46:20.000 Right.

00:46:20.000 Exactly.

00:46:21.000 I mean, when you put it that way, that's absolutely the person I would side with.

00:46:25.000 So 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.

00:46:37.000 And on the left, it's riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii To be less silly.

00:46:47.000 That was a very good read, by the way.

00:46:50.000 I had to try and tone it down because I didn't want to scream.

00:46:52.000 I know, it was good though.

00:46:54.000 I 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.

00:47:18.000 That'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.

00:47:30.000 That girl who screams no when Trump won, she's now a forever mean of just... And who wants to be that? 0.82

00:47:37.000 Who wants to be that person?

00:47:38.000 Everyone's like, wow, that person's ridiculous.

00:47:40.000 Look how emotional that person is.

00:47:42.000 And it's like, yeah.

00:47:43.000 Or you could, you know, get political and try to make a difference instead of just standing there screaming no, doing absolutely nothing.

00:47:50.000 The re-thing is, I'm exaggerating a bit, right?

00:47:52.000 To be fair, I'll put it this way.

00:47:54.000 I have a friend with hundreds of thousands of followers who makes a post saying, we can't reopen the economy.

00:48:00.000 All it will do is make the billionaires wealthier and I'll sacrifice the poor people.

00:48:05.000 And so there's no logic there.

00:48:07.000 There's no real understanding of how the economy works.

00:48:10.000 Complete disregard for the science and the economics of it.

00:48:14.000 And we're not backing it up, I'm assuming.

00:48:16.000 No, just saying.

00:48:17.000 Just saying the government should just give us money and waive rent.

00:48:17.000 Just saying.

00:48:21.000 That's what they said to me.

00:48:22.000 And so when I respond with, How will these companies pay their employees if you don't pay their rent?

00:48:27.000 Like, the landlord isn't some guy, like, in a castle with a crown.

00:48:31.000 It'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.

00:48:31.000 Right.

00:48:43.000 How will all those people get paid if you say you shouldn't pay rent?

00:48:46.000 Well, the government should pay it, okay?

00:48:47.000 Where does the government get the money?

00:48:48.000 They just print it.

00:48:49.000 Yeah.

00:48:50.000 Okay.

00:48:50.000 So my question is like, your reaction has no basis in reality.

00:48:54.000 You've done no research.

00:48:54.000 Exactly.

00:48:55.000 You've read no news stories.

00:48:57.000 You have reckless disregard for those who have starved to death.

00:49:00.000 Is that what the left has become?

00:49:02.000 Letting people starve to death is basically like letting the poor die.

00:49:06.000 And that was their argument to keep it closed, wasn't it?

00:49:08.000 Exactly.

00:49:09.000 The small businesses are collapsing.

00:49:10.000 Wait, what?

00:49:12.000 The small businesses are collapsing, not the corporate enterprise.

00:49:14.000 The billionaires are making money.

00:49:16.000 They're simultaneously- The billionaires are fine right now.

00:49:18.000 They're not worried.

00:49:20.000 That Robert Reich guy or whatever his name is.

00:49:21.000 Is that his name?

00:49:22.000 Robert Reich or something?

00:49:23.000 Robert Reich?

00:49:23.000 I haven't- I'm not familiar.

00:49:24.000 Sorry.

00:49:25.000 Elon Musk tweeted that he was boring and stupid or something.

00:49:28.000 He tweets out like, billionaires added $200 billion to their wealth during the lockdown while poor people are suffering.

00:49:33.000 He's like, the poor people are suffering because you've shut their businesses down.

00:49:36.000 You don't understand.

00:49:36.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:49:38.000 And they lost all their jobs, even if they weren't their own business.

00:49:42.000 Now they have no jobs.

00:49:43.000 Their strenuous life, the line that they were riding, now it's all crumbled away.

00:49:47.000 So how do you talk to them?

00:49:49.000 What do we do?

00:49:50.000 It's crazy because I've always been really good at communications, like I did fundraising for non-profits.

00:49:50.000 You know what, man?

00:49:56.000 Literally communicating with the public to convince them, and I'm at a loss for how we deal with these people.

00:50:01.000 It'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!

00:50:09.000 And they throw it in the garbage.

00:50:10.000 They don't want that study.

00:50:12.000 Yep, that challenges my belief system, so I'm not gonna listen to that or believe it.

00:50:17.000 That's what they do.

00:50:19.000 They're like, nope, I'm good.

00:50:20.000 I don't have to agree with you or argue with you because you challenged what I believe.

00:50:25.000 So I'm just gonna go the other way and ignore you forever.

00:50:25.000 That's scary.

00:50:27.000 Block.

00:50:29.000 It'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.

00:50:35.000 Like, 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.

00:50:48.000 So it's like, his idea is kind of like, I'll mind my own business and practice my religion how I want to.

00:50:54.000 I like that.

00:50:56.000 But now it's the flippening.

00:50:58.000 It's probably why the conservatives have a higher approval rating in Congress.

00:51:01.000 Something switched.

00:51:04.000 You know what I was thinking?

00:51:05.000 Maybe it might be that it works this way with trends, too, and cultures.

00:51:11.000 So you have the left of like 10 years ago.

00:51:15.000 You got Jon Stewart.

00:51:16.000 Funny guy.

00:51:17.000 Great guy.

00:51:17.000 Honest guy.

00:51:18.000 He called out Joe Biden, the audacity of grope, uncritically showing Project Veritas, like legitimately showing Project Veritas and praising the work they did.

00:51:26.000 Yeah.

00:51:26.000 Even though Veritas, you know, is, you know, right-leaning or whatever people want to accuse them of.

00:51:31.000 Today it's all like attacks and smears.

00:51:31.000 Yeah.

00:51:34.000 But here's what I think happens.

00:51:35.000 You have someone like Jon Stewart and you have a left that actually has thought leaders, comedians, funny people.

00:51:40.000 And so all the cool kids are involved.

00:51:42.000 I miss those days.

00:51:44.000 So the left was cool, you know?

00:51:46.000 Jon Stewart was leading the charge in a comedic way to deliver the news to people.

00:51:50.000 Yeah, he was great.

00:51:51.000 It was clever, too, because people didn't care about the news.

00:51:55.000 And he found a way to get people to care, and it was funny, and it was cultural.

00:51:58.000 What do we get after Jon Stewart?

00:52:00.000 Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Trevor Noah.

00:52:03.000 It's them lying and making stuff up.

00:52:03.000 That's just fake.

00:52:06.000 Jon Stewart was legit.

00:52:07.000 So here's what I think happens.

00:52:09.000 The cool people You know, the skateboarders, for instance, were on the left because the left was being rational and honest.

00:52:16.000 When 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.

00:52:23.000 That was a huge, you know, hit for what the sane left was.

00:52:27.000 Jon Stewart retires.

00:52:29.000 Now 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.

00:52:37.000 Leaving all of the... Like a leaderless movement, essentially.

00:52:40.000 The left has become emotional, reactive, and leaderless.

00:52:44.000 Look at Joe Rogan, for instance.

00:52:47.000 He says he'd rather vote for... He wanted to vote for Bernie.

00:52:49.000 Then he says he'd rather vote for Trump.

00:52:51.000 But they call him alt-right and all this other weird stuff.

00:52:53.000 Of course.

00:52:54.000 So it's like if Joe Rogan, who is a lefty, pot smoking... You say they, but that group feels so small now.

00:53:02.000 There's just a small group of people.

00:53:05.000 That's what it feels like to me.

00:53:06.000 Like they're just screaming and they have a platform to scream on, which is Twitter and mainstream media even.

00:53:12.000 You know, it's like they're all over there.

00:53:14.000 But the social media companies protect them.

00:53:16.000 Ban everyone else. 0.88

00:53:17.000 I 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.

00:53:33.000 Yeah, you know, hey, maybe we're crazy Maybe we're gonna crumble eventually though.

00:53:37.000 Maybe people like being in ignorant bliss.

00:53:39.000 Maybe we're the minorities I think that's the real boogaloo that's going to happen. 1.00

00:53:43.000 It's going to be a battle between those two forces, but they're going to be smushed.

00:53:49.000 The 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.

00:53:57.000 This is why they hate YouTube.

00:54:00.000 On YouTube, when they put up one of these stupid social justice commercials, obliterated.

00:54:05.000 They disable the comments, they disable the like and dislike ratio.

00:54:07.000 I love that!

00:54:08.000 That's hilarious!

00:54:09.000 And then eventually just delete the video.

00:54:11.000 But think about what Reddit does.

00:54:13.000 Reddit starts banning.

00:54:14.000 The moderators will ban a conservative post or a moderate post.

00:54:18.000 And 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.

00:54:28.000 Okay.

00:54:29.000 It's like, I might say like, I like oatmeal cookies, no chocolate chip is better!

00:54:32.000 And someone says snickerdoodle!

00:54:34.000 And you have a, sometimes you'll see a snickerdoodle post, or a chocolate chip post, or an oatmeal cookie post.

00:54:38.000 Okay.

00:54:38.000 But 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.

00:54:45.000 All of a sudden, the oatmeal cookie people start leaving, because they're like, we don't get to hear about oatmeal cookies anymore.

00:54:45.000 That's a shame, I love oatmeal cookies.

00:54:50.000 And 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.

00:54:59.000 So Reddit becomes hyper-polarized, and people get washed into that insanity.

00:55:04.000 Oatmealgate.

00:55:05.000 So anyway, the point is, you say like, they might get crushed, they might be small, but the institutions are propping them up.

00:55:13.000 Like, no one in their right mind, no sane, reasonable person thinks Joe Biden can be president.

00:55:19.000 But they're losing their power.

00:55:21.000 Like, Reddit is losing their power.

00:55:23.000 Are they?

00:55:24.000 I mean, kind of.

00:55:25.000 I think it is.

00:55:26.000 Their ranking has been dropping a little bit.

00:55:26.000 I think so.

00:55:28.000 That doesn't surprise me.

00:55:30.000 And I'm sure the same is for YouTube.

00:55:31.000 Like, who knows?

00:55:32.000 Like, Bitchute's now around, Mines is out. 1.00

00:55:35.000 Like, I don't know if there's going to be a competitor.

00:55:37.000 People have asked you, and I know it's because YouTube sets up all the different things into one spot, so it's hard.

00:55:44.000 You know, and they can easily probably put someone down if they're going somewhere else, but I mean, it's only a matter of time.

00:55:50.000 This is why I think they attacked you.

00:55:51.000 Twitter, same thing.

00:55:52.000 I 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.

00:56:02.000 Okay.

00:56:03.000 It wasn't about an arbitrary group of moderators deleting stuff.

00:56:05.000 Yeah.

00:56:06.000 So this allowed content that people actually like to start doing really, really well.

00:56:10.000 And there's been a massive spike in conservative content.

00:56:14.000 At least they call it conservative.

00:56:15.000 What I really think it is, it's the culture war right.

00:56:18.000 Right.

00:56:18.000 I don't think it means right wing or left wing in the political sense.

00:56:21.000 It's more just not left.

00:56:23.000 Right.

00:56:24.000 Would be more accurate.

00:56:24.000 Exactly.

00:56:25.000 Yeah, because in the rankings, they consider my content conservative.

00:56:25.000 Right.

00:56:30.000 I made a video where I'm like, the death penalty should be opposed at all costs.

00:56:34.000 And a bunch of conservatives argue with me like I disagree.

00:56:36.000 And I'm like, well, I oppose the death penalty.

00:56:38.000 It's not a conservative opinion for the most part.

00:56:40.000 I say for the most part because it's a particularly libertarian position.

00:56:44.000 Yeah.

00:56:44.000 But it's like, I can say my position and my politics, which are clearly liberal left-leaning, as are yours.

00:56:50.000 Yeah.

00:56:51.000 But because we'll rag on the left, they say we must be right.

00:56:54.000 So this kind of content is skyrocketing.

00:56:57.000 These social justice racist commercials are getting attacked left and right.

00:57:01.000 Yeah.

00:57:01.000 But then, you know what?

00:57:04.000 It's almost like Venture capitalists and advertising agencies are trapped 10 years ago when they thought the left was hit.

00:57:12.000 But I'll tell you what, man.

00:57:13.000 Yeah, that's it.

00:57:14.000 You're right.

00:57:15.000 I have rock stars.

00:57:17.000 I say rock stars, but like very famous musicians who hit me up.

00:57:22.000 And we'll be like, yo, bro, I saw your video, man.

00:57:24.000 And they'll say like, here's what I was thinking.

00:57:25.000 COVID!

00:57:27.000 Pro skateboarders.

00:57:28.000 I want to jam with these people.

00:57:32.000 I want to skate with those people.

00:57:34.000 Dude, the craziest thing to me, I've said this before, but it bears repeating in the context of this video.

00:57:40.000 When I got hit up by some of these pro skateboarders, like, dude, skateboarders trespass.

00:57:44.000 They break the rules.

00:57:45.000 They care for no laws.

00:57:46.000 They're anarchists, like libertarian.

00:57:48.000 And they were hitting me up being like, I agree 100%.

00:57:50.000 Like, this is nuts.

00:57:52.000 Dude, you know what it is?

00:57:52.000 I 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.

00:58:06.000 Skateboarding's all about you conquering by yourself.

00:58:09.000 Like, a skateboarder will tell you, hey man, you gotta do it.

00:58:11.000 You gotta drop in.

00:58:12.000 No one's gonna drop in for you.

00:58:13.000 That's the antithesis of what they say.

00:58:15.000 It's true.

00:58:16.000 Like, you need to... No, someone has to drop in for you because of your privilege.

00:58:18.000 It's not fair or something.

00:58:20.000 You're too tall.

00:58:20.000 You're a man.

00:58:21.000 You're a woman.

00:58:21.000 Whatever.

00:58:22.000 So 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.

00:58:30.000 Like, these people are hippies.

00:58:33.000 Like, these are the leftists who are like, chillin', smokin', pot in the beach, arguing against the Democrats right now.

00:58:39.000 That to me was like, I think these marketing companies still just assume the left is cool.

00:58:46.000 I'll tell you what, man.

00:58:46.000 Right.

00:58:47.000 Side note.

00:58:48.000 They'll figure it out.

00:58:49.000 They'll follow the money.

00:58:50.000 We'll, uh... Actually, we should jump to the skateboarding segment in this, you know.

00:58:55.000 But I'll make one more quick comment.

00:58:58.000 There was a post on Reddit about... It was like, F the alt-right or something.

00:59:04.000 Okay.

00:59:04.000 Like, it's a subreddit dedicated to ragging on the alt-right.

00:59:07.000 Which basically doesn't exist anymore, like, as a movement.

00:59:09.000 Like, it's been wiped out by social media.

00:59:11.000 But it was a picture of Desmond, the 11-year-old drag queen.

00:59:11.000 Okay.

00:59:15.000 Danth.

00:59:15.000 Okay.

00:59:16.000 Are you familiar with the Desmond story?

00:59:17.000 I... I don't think so.

00:59:19.000 Eleven-year-old boy ripping off their clothes on stage for money as adult men throw money at him.

00:59:24.000 Okay, I've heard about this, but I never saw the video.

00:59:28.000 Was it really cringe?

00:59:30.000 It's horrifying.

00:59:31.000 It sounds terrible.

00:59:33.000 I don't want to get too into detail, but it's a little boy pulling off his clothes on stage.

00:59:40.000 He's wearing clothes underneath multiple layers.

00:59:43.000 And then men throw dollars at him.

00:59:45.000 I 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.

00:59:56.000 They said that what people don't realize about stripping is that a lot of strip clubs don't allow full nudity. 1.00

01:00:03.000 So the women wear sports bras and sports running shorts, and when they strip, They're still fully clothed underneath. 1.00

01:00:12.000 And so I was specifically told about that video.

01:00:13.000 They were like, oh yeah, like in South Dakota, 100% that's legit stripping.

01:00:18.000 Like that would be considered stripping to any stripper in like these areas and these jurisdictions. 1.00

01:00:22.000 So is this, who's okay with this video?

01:00:26.000 The tribal left. 0.96

01:00:27.000 So 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?

01:00:47.000 What is this?

01:00:49.000 Like, people actually saw it, and they were like, what?

01:00:51.000 Like, this is messed up stuff.

01:00:53.000 Put it on TV, though.

01:00:56.000 I 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.

01:01:01.000 Yeah, dude, it's getting nuts out there, man.

01:01:03.000 My goodness.

01:01:04.000 So, yeah.

01:01:04.000 I just bring it up as the last bit of, like, it's one of the more extreme instances.

01:01:09.000 But we do have an interesting story that I want to get controversial for everybody.

01:01:13.000 So, I hope you all are ready.

01:01:15.000 This is from Slate.

01:01:17.000 Anti-LGBTQ firm tries to disqualify Judge because he won't let it misgender trans kids.

01:01:26.000 The story's not true.

01:01:27.000 It's not?

01:01:28.000 Technically, it's not true.

01:01:30.000 So, this is where things start getting really weird.

01:01:34.000 You read a little bit about, like, the trans athlete stuff, right?

01:01:37.000 Yeah.

01:01:38.000 Like, basically, they're saying if you're biologically male but identify as female, you can compete against women.

01:01:42.000 Right, which I don't agree with.

01:01:44.000 Here's what happened first.

01:01:44.000 Okay.

01:01:46.000 At first they said, woman and man are words for gender, which is a social

01:01:52.000 Okay.

01:01:52.000 construct.

01:01:53.000 So if you, if you identify as a woman, you can be a woman because it's just a social construct.

01:01:57.000 Okay.

01:01:58.000 Male and female are biology.

01:02:00.000 That's what they said first, a few years ago.

01:02:02.000 Okay.

01:02:03.000 So 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.

01:02:10.000 Over time, they've been erasing that entirely and completely arguing that there's no such thing as biological sex.

01:02:16.000 And it's funny because I tell people this and they say, that's not true, no one's saying that.

01:02:20.000 Nicholas 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.

01:02:33.000 Yeah.

01:02:34.000 No, I actually saw that.

01:02:35.000 I've seen that.

01:02:36.000 So that's where we're at.

01:02:37.000 So here's the real story There's biological males that have taken no hormones, undergone no treatments, and they're racing against biological females.

01:02:49.000 It's ridiculous.

01:02:50.000 And they're winning every time.

01:02:51.000 What a surprise.

01:02:52.000 And shattering records.

01:02:54.000 So some young women sued, some young females sued. 1.00

01:02:54.000 Sure. 1.00

01:02:58.000 In 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.

01:03:10.000 You must call them transgender female. 1.00

01:03:14.000 Think about what that means in a court argument.

01:03:16.000 Your 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. 0.99

01:03:24.000 Well, you'd have to say these transgender females against these females. 1.00

01:03:27.000 They're not transgender females, though.

01:03:29.000 But that's... oh, I thought that was the order.

01:03:30.000 The judge was wrong.

01:03:31.000 Oh, okay.

01:03:32.000 So, a male who is transgender.

01:03:34.000 Right.

01:03:35.000 To be woman.

01:03:37.000 A transgender woman means you are not born a woman, right? 1.00

01:03:42.000 A male who is transgender.

01:03:43.000 Right.

01:03:44.000 Biologically male. 0.92

01:03:45.000 Who is transgender.

01:03:45.000 Okay.

01:03:46.000 Okay.

01:03:47.000 Is now a woman? 0.98

01:03:48.000 Wants to be a woman.

01:03:49.000 Right.

01:03:50.000 Or identifies as potentially as a woman.

01:03:51.000 I don't know what they identify as.

01:03:52.000 Okay.

01:03:53.000 The 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.

01:03:59.000 Of course they will.

01:04:01.000 So this is where, like, it gets really, really crazy.

01:04:03.000 Now, you have these articles pop up.

01:04:05.000 This is nuts.

01:04:07.000 Like, this article is an outright lie.

01:04:10.000 How do we actually deal with protecting the civil rights of individuals?

01:04:14.000 So these women are suing, basically saying it's discrimination based on their biological sex. 1.00

01:04:20.000 And the judge is saying, you can't say these words.

01:04:25.000 I don't know.

01:04:26.000 I mean, I follow Ariella.

01:04:26.000 Pardon me.

01:04:29.000 She was on the show.

01:04:30.000 And she's a well-known lesbian who has a lot of trans friends. 0.98

01:04:35.000 And I see her post things to communicate with others and ask questions to try to understand it.

01:04:41.000 And so I'm following it.

01:04:42.000 And there's a lot of trans people who don't agree with this.

01:04:45.000 They're like, yeah, it's not fair.

01:04:47.000 I'm trans, and I don't agree with this. 1.00

01:04:49.000 And it's like, oh, that's interesting to know that not everyone, even the trans people, think it's fair.

01:04:56.000 It just makes me think it's not even the trans people who are even fighting anymore.

01:05:00.000 It's media companies.

01:05:01.000 It's the Karens. 0.57

01:05:01.000 It's the people who are offended for others. 0.57

01:05:05.000 Like, oh no, that's offensive!

01:05:06.000 I should fight for it!

01:05:08.000 No, don't tell me that I'm not that.

01:05:10.000 I'm going to fight for it anyway.

01:05:10.000 I don't care.

01:05:11.000 Let me be offended on your behalf.

01:05:13.000 Yes, exactly.

01:05:15.000 That's what really bothers me the most about these people.

01:05:18.000 That's what I think all of this stuff is.

01:05:20.000 When 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?

01:05:29.000 I'm going to say it.

01:05:30.000 My family's mixed race.

01:05:33.000 It's funny because people bring up, they're like, Tim says he's mixed race all the time.

01:05:35.000 I'm like, yeah, because you don't get it, man.

01:05:37.000 Like, when I'm trying to communicate effectively to a conservative, I don't have to say it at all.

01:05:41.000 They don't care.

01:05:42.000 They literally don't.

01:05:43.000 It's not an issue for them.

01:05:44.000 But if I'm trying to make a video that will at least, in some way, speak to some of these progressives and liberals, I have to say it.

01:05:52.000 Otherwise, they're like, what do you know?

01:05:54.000 You're a white guy.

01:05:55.000 Not even that, like, half the time they call me Hispanic.

01:05:58.000 Yeah, they just, it's insane.

01:05:58.000 Really?

01:05:59.000 It doesn't matter.

01:06:01.000 It'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.

01:06:09.000 What is it, um... Be careful when fighting monsters, lest you become one.

01:06:13.000 For when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

01:06:15.000 That perfectly explains these people.

01:06:17.000 They started saying, racism is bad, we're gonna fight for it, and they became the overt racists.

01:06:22.000 And now it's like... But it's not just about race, it's about the bigotry, right?

01:06:26.000 They 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. 0.96

01:06:33.000 It's like all the fight that women have fought for, for all these years, for everything. 0.58

01:06:39.000 Females. 0.98

01:06:40.000 Sorry, females. 1.00

01:06:41.000 Or whatever it is.

01:06:42.000 It's like, eh, well, if a guy feels like he can do it better than you, I'm going to be a woman now and win.

01:06:49.000 It's not even that.

01:06:49.000 It's not even that, right?

01:06:51.000 I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than that.

01:06:53.000 Yeah, so I'll be as fair as I can be.

01:06:55.000 I'm sure there are some guys who are like, I'll just say I'm a woman and I'll get to compete.

01:06:59.000 Hasn't that happened already?

01:07:01.000 I mean, I don't know.

01:07:02.000 Not proven, but it sure seems like it.

01:07:05.000 It's dangerous territory because then you're, you know, claiming somebody's... Maybe.

01:07:11.000 But the reason I'm careful on this is because we don't even need to go there.

01:07:15.000 If somebody is born male and then says, I want to compete against females, it's like, I get it, but that's not fair. 0.77

01:07:22.000 Exactly.

01:07:23.000 That is not equality.

01:07:23.000 It's not fair.

01:07:24.000 It isn't.

01:07:25.000 That is inequality.

01:07:26.000 You are taking the rights away from them to have their specific division.

01:07:30.000 Now, here's where it gets interesting.

01:07:31.000 And this is where we get to go a little scientific.

01:07:35.000 Not really, it's anecdotal.

01:07:36.000 Oh, great.

01:07:37.000 So, the Olympics will allow... I believe the Olympics in some capacity are going to allow males to compete in the women's divisions.

01:07:45.000 So long as their testosterone levels are at a certain level.

01:07:48.000 Are, like, suppressed, right?

01:07:49.000 Okay.

01:07:50.000 Pull up this story.

01:07:51.000 Pull up this story.

01:07:52.000 Lockdown spurs 11-year-old skateboarder to make history with first 1080 degree turn.

01:07:59.000 Guy Curie lands holy grail of skating while in lockdown.

01:08:05.000 Brazilian surpasses previous record first set by Tony Hawk, 11 years old!

01:08:11.000 Brutal.

01:08:11.000 Tony Hawk was what?

01:08:13.000 32?

01:08:13.000 30?

01:08:13.000 He was 30 when he did that?

01:08:15.000 The 900?

01:08:16.000 Yeah, what's Tony Hawk's birthday?

01:08:17.000 Can you look up his birthday?

01:08:18.000 I think he was like 30 or 32 or something.

01:08:19.000 Maybe he was in his late 20s.

01:08:19.000 Yeah, I think he was I think he was like 30 or 30. Yeah, maybe maybe he was in his late 20s

01:08:26.000 Either way. Yeah, my point is is obvious. He was born in 68 Yeah, dude, he was like 32.

01:08:32.000 Wow.

01:08:33.000 He was like 31 or 32 when he landed.

01:08:34.000 His birthday's tomorrow.

01:08:36.000 Oh, happy birthday, Tony.

01:08:37.000 Happy birthday, Tony.

01:08:37.000 Tony Hawk's awesome.

01:08:38.000 I love watching his videos on Instagram.

01:08:39.000 He's amazing.

01:08:39.000 Yeah, he is really great.

01:08:40.000 So now we're going to get controversial because I'm sure we're going to make a bunch of people angry.

01:08:43.000 Here's my question.

01:08:46.000 The first 540... Okay, so for those that aren't familiar with skateboarding.

01:08:51.000 Each time the board rotates so that it's parallel is 180 degrees.

01:08:56.000 So half turn, full turn, 360.

01:08:59.000 One and a half is 540, two is 720.

01:08:59.000 You get it.

01:09:00.000 It's math.

01:09:02.000 Tony Hawk in, I think it was 1999?

01:09:04.000 Was it 1999?

01:09:04.000 I think so, yeah.

01:09:06.000 Maybe?

01:09:06.000 He landed the first 900 degree spin.

01:09:09.000 Yeah.

01:09:09.000 Meaning he went up, spun two and a half times, and came down, and it took him forever.

01:09:14.000 It was outside of the rules of the event.

01:09:16.000 He'd already gone over, but everyone's like, just do it!

01:09:17.000 Just do it, man!

01:09:18.000 And it was so powerful.

01:09:20.000 That he got all these crazy video game deals.

01:09:22.000 It sparked the Tony Hawk franchise.

01:09:24.000 He made tons of money.

01:09:26.000 Skateboarding immediately became like a multi-billion dollar industry.

01:09:29.000 He revived the whole sport and culture with one move.

01:09:34.000 The 900.

01:09:34.000 And now...

01:09:37.000 Sunday, 10th of May, an 11-year-old boy just spun one more time than he did at like the height of his career.

01:09:46.000 A full 360 more.

01:09:47.000 Oh no, it was one half.

01:09:49.000 So, what this kid did was he went fakie, which means you go backwards, and he added a half turn.

01:09:57.000 So, it's incredible.

01:10:00.000 Guy Curie's Skateboarding, coming soon.

01:10:02.000 Are they?

01:10:03.000 Yeah, right?

01:10:03.000 A video game series.

01:10:06.000 So, the first 1080 we ever saw was on the MegaRamp.

01:10:09.000 Yeah, it was Micho... Micho something?

01:10:10.000 No, no, I think it was... Was it Tom Schar?

01:10:13.000 Tom?

01:10:13.000 Uh, Mitchie Brusco?

01:10:14.000 Mitchie... Yeah, Mitchie Brusco, July 2011?

01:10:17.000 Was it?

01:10:17.000 Yeah, that's... The first 1080.

01:10:18.000 I think so.

01:10:19.000 So that was on a MegaRamp.

01:10:20.000 Oh, maybe he did the 1200.

01:10:22.000 No, no, Tom... What was it last year?

01:10:24.000 Was it Tom Schar did the 1260?

01:10:25.000 I'm not sure.

01:10:26.000 Oh my gosh, these numbers... Someone did a crazy... I think it was... I thought it was 1200 or something.

01:10:30.000 Like, they both did, like, crazy moves.

01:10:32.000 That's why I always mix them up.

01:10:33.000 Yeah, 1260.

01:10:33.000 Yeah.

01:10:34.000 And it was a huge deal.

01:10:36.000 But that's the mega ramp.

01:10:37.000 That's a really, really large ramp where you get tons of speed.

01:10:40.000 This little kid on a standard halfpipe.

01:10:42.000 That's why it's record-breaking and it's breaking the new record.

01:10:44.000 It's huge.

01:10:45.000 Here's why I bring this up in this context.

01:10:47.000 The first female 540, I think, was like 2008 or 2009 or something.

01:10:50.000 Okay.

01:10:50.000 The first male 540 was like the 70s.

01:10:55.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:10:56.000 The disparity in skateboarding between men and women is the biggest for any sport I've ever seen.

01:11:01.000 I don't know why, don't ask me.

01:11:03.000 But women definitely have been improving dramatically, and there are some really, really good female skaters. 1.00

01:11:07.000 Well, no, you explained it.

01:11:10.000 We talked about this before, and you explained it perfectly.

01:11:13.000 The reason why is because there isn't as many women to compete against. 1.00

01:11:18.000 So 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.

01:11:30.000 So why would you?

01:11:32.000 But it's not just that.

01:11:34.000 Here's the question I'm bringing up now, where I'm going to get in trouble and we're going to get yelled at by YouTube.

01:11:37.000 Sure.

01:11:38.000 Why is it that a prepubescent 11-year-old boy, no puberty, was able to pull off a record-breaking historical move in skateboarding history?

01:11:50.000 Where are the 11-year-old females doing the same thing? 1.00

01:11:53.000 It's because prenatal testosterone plays a huge role.

01:11:57.000 So 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%.

01:12:13.000 I agree.

01:12:14.000 Like, dude, I've seen videos of six-year-old boys, like, doing crazy things.

01:12:19.000 Yeah.

01:12:19.000 I've competed.

01:12:20.000 I'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.

01:12:25.000 But I've competed against some people who are, like, much, much younger than me, who absolutely destroyed me at my prime.

01:12:31.000 Like, little kids, just so good, I'm like, this is nuts!

01:12:34.000 Yeah.

01:12:34.000 I'm an adult man, these kids are just wiping the floor with me in this contest.

01:12:38.000 But we don't see the same thing from, you know, eight-year-old girls or nine-year-old girls.

01:12:43.000 There have been some, like, pretty good moves from little kids, you know, younger females.

01:12:48.000 Well, 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.

01:12:58.000 Guys, you know, a boy sees skateboarders and there's not that many female skateboarders to look up to. 1.00

01:13:05.000 Tony Hawk is huge, you know?

01:13:06.000 It's like you said it, like in 1999 skateboarding became a billion dollar industry, you know?

01:13:12.000 And that's a guy sport predominantly.

01:13:15.000 So, 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.

01:13:24.000 So that does come into play, you know?

01:13:27.000 I think, yes.

01:13:28.000 Right.

01:13:29.000 But I think... I mean, your point remains, though.

01:13:31.000 He did it before puberty, still broke a record.

01:13:34.000 That's insane.

01:13:36.000 It's history, man.

01:13:37.000 This is such a big... I agree.

01:13:38.000 Like, when you look at Tony Hawk's career, landing the 900, how big it was.

01:13:41.000 Yeah.

01:13:41.000 This 11-year-old kid just landed the 1080 on a standard halfpipe.

01:13:44.000 Yeah.

01:13:45.000 Now he should do it in a contest.

01:13:47.000 I mean, these kids are skating their whole lives.

01:13:50.000 This kid definitely was born on a skateboard.

01:13:54.000 I'm willing to put money on it.

01:13:55.000 And he's Brazilian too.

01:13:56.000 So it's like, you know, Brazilians, for whatever reason, Brazilians are just like the best skateboarders.

01:13:59.000 They're really good at skateboarding.

01:14:01.000 Bob Bernquist.

01:14:03.000 Yep.

01:14:03.000 He's great.

01:14:04.000 And Leticia Buffoni, basically like the best female skateboarder in the world. 0.99

01:14:07.000 She's amazing.

01:14:07.000 Yeah.

01:14:08.000 She's better than like 99% of dudes. 0.94

01:14:10.000 Probably.

01:14:11.000 But that's, yeah.

01:14:12.000 So that's like, Obviously, female skateboarders can be ridiculously good. 1.00

01:14:17.000 Lutetia is insanely good.

01:14:19.000 Yeah, she's really good.

01:14:20.000 But why, you know, I bring this up because I don't believe it's just society.

01:14:25.000 I think it plays a role.

01:14:26.000 I think it's fair.

01:14:26.000 Like, 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.

01:14:32.000 It probably has an impact.

01:14:33.000 Yeah.

01:14:34.000 But shouldn't it be at least, I don't know, if they're skating together, similar I don't know, man.

01:14:41.000 I really do feel like prenatal testosterone plays a huge role in this.

01:14:44.000 I agree with that.

01:14:44.000 Because I've talked to some scientists about it who have brought that up and said that's the case.

01:14:48.000 That even if you reduce your testosterone levels, you will still have an advantage due to prenatal testosterone levels.

01:14:53.000 Yeah.

01:14:55.000 So 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.

01:15:01.000 Gosh.

01:15:02.000 Yeah.

01:15:02.000 I don't I don't know how we navigate this, man.

01:15:04.000 This is just us.

01:15:05.000 I mean, I have transgender friends.

01:15:07.000 I'm not trying to like.

01:15:08.000 Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:15:09.000 Nope.

01:15:10.000 Just by saying that.

01:15:11.000 What?

01:15:12.000 That you have friends.

01:15:13.000 Yeah, that's a huge no, no, bro.

01:15:14.000 You can't say that.

01:15:15.000 Friends?

01:15:15.000 Oh, yeah.

01:15:15.000 And they're amazing people.

01:15:17.000 No, they agree with me.

01:15:18.000 You're not allowed to say that.

01:15:19.000 OK, that's like super offensive.

01:15:21.000 To who?

01:15:22.000 To the they. 1.00

01:15:24.000 To the left?

01:15:26.000 Whenever 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. 0.91

01:15:31.000 Well, the reason why is because I've actually had conversations with them.

01:15:35.000 So, like, I'm going off my own experiences of what they've told me.

01:15:39.000 So it's like...

01:15:41.000 You say the left and all these people, and it's like, who are they even to talk anyway?

01:15:45.000 Pitchfork mobs on Twitter?

01:15:46.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:15:47.000 So bring it on.

01:15:48.000 I don't care.

01:15:50.000 I know what I know.

01:15:51.000 I know who has told me their opinions on things, and it's silly.

01:15:55.000 It's weird that these companies are more reactive to the left's mobs than the right's mobs.

01:16:01.000 You're right.

01:16:01.000 The way I explained it before, it's simple.

01:16:05.000 We'll, you know, here's what I said, like... Because they're the ones that'll burn your building down.

01:16:09.000 Bingo.

01:16:10.000 Bingo.

01:16:11.000 Seriously.

01:16:11.000 They're the scary mobs.

01:16:13.000 There 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.

01:16:24.000 Like, never gonna happen.

01:16:25.000 Never.

01:16:26.000 In fact, the worst case scenario was he'd show up and be like, I would like to formally request a debate with you on your stage.

01:16:32.000 And we'd be like, hey, that's awesome, come on over.

01:16:34.000 Sure, yeah, alright.

01:16:35.000 The left just shows up and screams re and throws a brick.

01:16:37.000 Yeah, 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.

01:16:44.000 There's very few people on the right that would ever try and pull something like that off.

01:16:48.000 The left just lets it happen.

01:16:50.000 They just re.

01:16:51.000 So here's what I'll say about the left, man.

01:16:54.000 Regular liberal people, are they going to stand up and defend our rights?

01:17:00.000 No.

01:17:00.000 No, they're doing their own thing.

01:17:02.000 They don't care.

01:17:02.000 They're not paying attention.

01:17:03.000 Yeah, they're doing their own thing.

01:17:04.000 Conservatives are wired, man.

01:17:05.000 They're on, they're active, they're posting memes, they're making memes.

01:17:09.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:17:10.000 Yep.

01:17:11.000 The left is just, so here's what happens, the craze of the left are in control of the left.

01:17:17.000 Because the regular leftists just aren't paying attention.

01:17:20.000 Yep.

01:17:21.000 That's what we get, man.

01:17:22.000 So, I don't know.

01:17:24.000 I wanted to bring this up because 1080, awesome.

01:17:26.000 It is awesome.

01:17:27.000 And the other story was ridiculous.

01:17:29.000 You 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.

01:17:38.000 I've heard people argue that he did the 1080, but he did a quick, nah, get out of here.

01:17:45.000 He nailed it, dude.

01:17:45.000 That was legit.

01:17:46.000 I think he was past the 90 degree point.

01:17:48.000 Like, he might've like touched on one wheel.

01:17:52.000 His back wheels came down when he had like 80 degrees left.

01:17:55.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:17:56.000 I don't care, dude.

01:17:57.000 But he rolled it out, he rolled through.

01:17:58.000 He landed it perfectly, as far as I can tell.

01:18:00.000 Yeah, yeah, he landed it.

01:18:01.000 He took it low, like he was going for it, man.

01:18:05.000 So this kid's basically like 20 feet in the air.

01:18:08.000 And when you're on a half pipe, you wanna connect with the top

01:18:10.000 so you can transfer your energy back to the ground.

01:18:11.000 Otherwise you just, boom, into the ground.

01:18:13.000 He took it low.

01:18:14.000 He was like, I'm not gonna land it.

01:18:16.000 I'm not gonna put my feet down until I stick it.

01:18:18.000 I guess the advantage of being 11 is he weighs like 50 pounds.

01:18:22.000 That's true.

01:18:22.000 So it won't hurt if he whips it.

01:18:24.000 Which he probably did many times.

01:18:26.000 Lose your board and you just slowly float to the ground.

01:18:28.000 Just slide on your knees.

01:18:30.000 Yeah, when you're an adult.

01:18:31.000 Like Tony Hawk is like 6'3", probably weighs like 200 pounds.

01:18:33.000 He's a big dude, yeah.

01:18:34.000 He's lanky, that's why I say 200 ever.

01:18:36.000 But so when he slams, you know.

01:18:38.000 But they still, dude, he shreds, man.

01:18:41.000 Him and Andy Mac, they're constantly posting videos.

01:18:44.000 I love watching his Instagram, it's awesome.

01:18:46.000 Yeah, it's like I just follow skateboarding Instagram.

01:18:47.000 That's all I follow.

01:18:48.000 It's great.

01:18:48.000 Nice.

01:18:49.000 All right, man.

01:18:50.000 We went a little long on these segments, but we're going to jump over to the Super Chats.

01:18:54.000 What up, everybody?

01:18:56.000 Now, this is the point of the video where we start reading what you have to say.

01:19:00.000 So the first thing you have to do is hit the like button.

01:19:04.000 Hit the button.

01:19:04.000 because apparently YouTube cares.

01:19:07.000 Hit the like.

01:19:08.000 Yeah.

01:19:09.000 I already liked it.

01:19:10.000 And you can follow me at Timcast.

01:19:12.000 You can follow Adam at Adam Krigler right down there.

01:19:16.000 Send Adam story ideas.

01:19:17.000 You'll like post a tweet or something, right?

01:19:19.000 And like tell people to follow.

01:19:20.000 I'll do that right now.

01:19:21.000 I'm gonna do it at this very moment.

01:19:23.000 I'm gonna be like, we're on, we're on.

01:19:24.000 We are live.

01:19:25.000 Let me send one.

01:19:26.000 We are live.

01:19:27.000 We are live.

01:19:28.000 We use the stories.

01:19:31.000 And yeah man, jump in the super chat if you'd like.

01:19:34.000 We're gonna start reading it.

01:19:36.000 You know, maybe what we can start doing to make sure we can read the super chats is just

01:19:40.000 do all of like the general talking for the first hour or so and then just read super

01:19:44.000 Would you do that?

01:19:46.000 Because then we can try and get through more.

01:19:47.000 Yeah, I love getting through the superchats.

01:19:49.000 I read them all on Atomcast.

01:19:52.000 We have higher standards for superchats.

01:19:56.000 Well... I'm just kidding.

01:19:58.000 Someone said they disliked the video.

01:20:00.000 You are freezing.

01:20:01.000 Actually, that is totally fine.

01:20:02.000 That works, too.

01:20:03.000 I will accept a dislike.

01:20:04.000 It absolutely does hurt the channel, 100%.

01:20:06.000 This is a myth.

01:20:07.000 Is it?

01:20:07.000 For a long time, it has been a myth that dislikes are just as good as likes.

01:20:11.000 Not true at all.

01:20:13.000 Oh, really?

01:20:13.000 I've actually talked to Google about this, and they said... They gave me a wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

01:20:20.000 Okay.

01:20:21.000 And guided me through basically telling me that when you dislike a video, you destroy it.

01:20:26.000 Oh, wow.

01:20:27.000 Yeah.

01:20:28.000 100%.

01:20:28.000 Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

01:20:29.000 What does that mean, though?

01:20:33.000 They can't give away their algorithmic secrets.

01:20:35.000 Oh, that makes sense.

01:20:35.000 So they never tell anyone what works and what doesn't.

01:20:38.000 Okay.

01:20:39.000 And so I was talking to someone and I said, the common idea for most people is that likes and dislikes just mean engaged with.

01:20:46.000 So YouTube is equally as likely to recommend it if it's got likes or dislikes.

01:20:50.000 Okay.

01:20:50.000 And they went, don't get dislikes.

01:20:56.000 Yeah.

01:20:56.000 That's what they said to you?

01:20:58.000 Yeah.

01:20:58.000 And I was like, really?

01:21:00.000 Cause that, is that bad for the video?

01:21:01.000 And they were like, say that.

01:21:04.000 If you want recommendations, likes really help.

01:21:07.000 And I'm like, ah.

01:21:08.000 And so I've actually, actually looked at data.

01:21:11.000 And track this.

01:21:12.000 The more dislikes, you can actually see the viewership drop in line with the amount of dislikes you start receiving.

01:21:17.000 Wow.

01:21:17.000 So absolutely.

01:21:18.000 So make sure you like.

01:21:19.000 Please like.

01:21:20.000 Like the video and subscribe.

01:21:22.000 Hit the bell button.

01:21:24.000 If you really dislike it, by all means, do it.

01:21:26.000 You're free to do whatever you want.

01:21:27.000 I'm going to tell you what to do.

01:21:28.000 I'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.

01:21:35.000 That's one of the reasons they disable it.

01:21:38.000 But you can still like or dislike it, even if they hide it.

01:21:42.000 Yeah.

01:21:42.000 And so by hiding it, they're trying to discourage people from doing it, because when you see the dislike ratio, people pile on.

01:21:47.000 You should stop talking about it.

01:21:48.000 The more you talk about it, the dislikes are just going up.

01:21:51.000 Get some honorary people.

01:21:52.000 Whatever.

01:21:53.000 People can ruin the channel.

01:21:54.000 Actually, wait, they're going down now.

01:21:55.000 People are free to do what they want to do now.

01:21:56.000 And the like buttons are going up!

01:21:58.000 Now they know, yeah.

01:21:59.000 Everybody knows now.

01:22:00.000 Alright, let's read the comments.

01:22:02.000 NotABannedAccount says, lost and got rehired at my job same day.

01:22:06.000 COVID.

01:22:07.000 Whoa, weird.

01:22:08.000 Congrats?

01:22:09.000 Good.

01:22:10.000 JustUs says, first.

01:22:11.000 Well, you were second, actually, unfortunately.

01:22:13.000 But it goes on to say, eat plants.

01:22:15.000 Oh, OK.

01:22:16.000 Dude, we made a vegan pizza the other day.

01:22:18.000 It was really good.

01:22:18.000 I didn't try it.

01:22:19.000 It's not really hard to make.

01:22:20.000 We just, we laid chow cheese on the crust and then put sauce on top.

01:22:24.000 You hear that?

01:22:25.000 He's making vegan stuff.

01:22:27.000 I'm not even around.

01:22:27.000 He's not even around.

01:22:30.000 I'm so proud!

01:22:31.000 But I ate a whole mess of chicken.

01:22:33.000 I ate a whole mess of chicken.

01:22:34.000 That's right.

01:22:37.000 Bring it around.

01:22:38.000 Bring it back around.

01:22:39.000 It was like Greek yogurt chicken.

01:22:41.000 It was delicious.

01:22:42.000 Some egg salad.

01:22:43.000 And then I was like, I want to make a pizza.

01:22:45.000 But we don't have any, like, pizza cheese.

01:22:48.000 We have American cheese and we have the vegan stuff.

01:22:51.000 And I gotta be honest, like, American cheese for pizza is, like, whack.

01:22:53.000 Ooh, no, not good.

01:22:54.000 You can't.

01:22:55.000 You can't do it.

01:22:56.000 So we did the vegan stuff.

01:22:57.000 That was actually really good.

01:22:58.000 Came out really well.

01:23:00.000 Cordo says, here's a story for you, Tim.

01:23:02.000 Apparently, smoking nicotine possibly prevents COVID-19.

01:23:04.000 Isn't that weird?

01:23:05.000 Look up China's and France's low infected numbers among active smokers.

01:23:10.000 I heard that.

01:23:11.000 Interesting.

01:23:11.000 So weird.

01:23:12.000 Because it, like, blocks something in the lungs or something like that.

01:23:14.000 Hmm, I don't know.

01:23:15.000 I'm not gonna recommend.

01:23:16.000 Well, 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.

01:23:29.000 Secret medicinal effects, huh?

01:23:30.000 Yeah.

01:23:31.000 Drunk Shovel says, Elon Musk is genuinely the hero we need.

01:23:34.000 Dude, I think Elon Musk is awesome.

01:23:35.000 I agree.

01:23:36.000 Yeah.

01:23:36.000 But he's not perfect.

01:23:39.000 He's just an eccentric dude who, like... He's a human.

01:23:39.000 No.

01:23:42.000 Yeah.

01:23:43.000 And he does his thing.

01:23:45.000 I tweeted at him once.

01:23:46.000 He responded.

01:23:47.000 It was a good day.

01:23:47.000 Very cool.

01:23:48.000 I asked Elon Musk why he hadn't made an Iron Man suit yet, and he said, building Starship.

01:23:53.000 And I was like, that is an acceptable response.

01:23:56.000 LaSalle says, welcome back guys.

01:23:58.000 Appreciate it.

01:23:58.000 Love the stuff today, Tim.

01:24:00.000 Kenrick says, did you all see the videos of the 1080 by a kid?

01:24:03.000 You know it!

01:24:04.000 Oh, yeah.

01:24:04.000 Amazing.

01:24:05.000 Dude, I watched it.

01:24:05.000 Yep.

01:24:06.000 I'm all excited.

01:24:07.000 I want to skate today.

01:24:07.000 I'm like, I'm ready to just throw down any trick on the ramp and just fall and get hurt, because we have a three-foot mini.

01:24:13.000 This kid's thrown out a 1080, dude.

01:24:14.000 The least I can do is like a kickflip 5-0 or something.

01:24:16.000 You know what I mean?

01:24:17.000 You got to land it, dude.

01:24:18.000 Yeah, I know.

01:24:19.000 I used to be super good at ramps, but I'm too old now, man.

01:24:21.000 Darn rain.

01:24:22.000 Aren't I older than you?

01:24:24.000 Okay.

01:24:24.000 Yes.

01:24:25.000 If I still skate, well it's because like over time I started skating just street.

01:24:28.000 No, you're definitely better on flat than I am.

01:24:30.000 So I can do basically every single flip trick possible and then some.

01:24:33.000 But mini ramp, I just lost my sea legs.

01:24:36.000 But you know what?

01:24:36.000 I'm just gonna go for it.

01:24:37.000 I'm just gonna go nuts.

01:24:38.000 And then you'll see me filming off a broken arm or something.

01:24:40.000 Nah, I'll be fine.

01:24:41.000 Hopefully I'll be filming him when he breaks the arm.

01:24:44.000 Yeah, we'll film something.

01:24:45.000 You're not going to break anything.

01:24:45.000 Just kidding.

01:24:46.000 If we were filming, I'd go nuts.

01:24:47.000 I'm not even kidding.

01:24:47.000 This is wood, right?

01:24:48.000 I'm knocking it.

01:24:49.000 Turn the camera on, and I'll go for a switchblunt heel-out first try. 0.96

01:24:53.000 Okay.

01:24:53.000 I'm not even kidding.

01:24:54.000 All right.

01:24:54.000 I'll just try and stick it.

01:24:55.000 I'll hit the floor.

01:24:57.000 Okay.

01:24:57.000 Because you get the slam on cam.

01:24:59.000 Oh, trust me.

01:25:00.000 I know.

01:25:01.000 So for those that aren't familiar, when you're filming skateboarding, if you slam and you get it on film, It's pretty good.

01:25:07.000 It's like, you show your friends, like, bro, look at this slam, oh, my arm's all bloody.

01:25:11.000 And then if you land it, well, then you landed it, and then you show off for it, but check out how I landed it.

01:25:14.000 You didn't get on Hall of Meat.

01:25:15.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:25:17.000 Let's see.

01:25:18.000 Justin O'Toole says, so Anne Sikulis is now an internationally wanted fugitive by Interpol.

01:25:24.000 Should the U.S.

01:25:24.000 allow her to be extradited for killing one of our citizens?

01:25:27.000 Oh, that's the lady who ran over that dude. 1.00

01:25:29.000 The wife of the diplomat.

01:25:30.000 Yeah.

01:25:31.000 I don't know anything about this.

01:25:32.000 I've been following it, yeah.

01:25:33.000 It's not that important.

01:25:33.000 it. Yeah. I don't know enough. I don't know enough about it.

01:25:36.000 David says question for nurse lids. What would you prescribe for arthritis from Karen

01:25:51.000 Too easy.

01:25:52.000 Yeah.

01:25:53.000 Charles says, Elon Musk, be like, come at me, bro.

01:25:56.000 For sure, dude.

01:25:57.000 Totally.

01:25:58.000 STFU says, nicotine is a known poison and anti-parasitic.

01:26:01.000 Really?

01:26:02.000 Interesting.

01:26:02.000 It's anti-parasitic?

01:26:03.000 Yarin says, y'all got any good book recommendations?

01:26:06.000 I do.

01:26:07.000 I mean, if you're into the books that I read, I don't know.

01:26:10.000 Dragonlance.

01:26:11.000 Old school, yet still really good.

01:26:14.000 Yeah.

01:26:15.000 That's it?

01:26:15.000 No other books?

01:26:16.000 I mean, The Wheel of Time is one of the best series I've ever read.

01:26:19.000 Sword of Truth was amazing.

01:26:21.000 Also a really long series, but really good.

01:26:23.000 I like those kind of movies.

01:26:24.000 Oh, you know what?

01:26:25.000 There's this really great series, um... What's it called?

01:26:29.000 It's about this, like, kid... Harry Potter!

01:26:30.000 Boom.

01:26:31.000 Never read it.

01:26:32.000 Harry Potter!

01:26:33.000 I've never read it.

01:26:34.000 Those were fun books to read when you're, like, a little kid.

01:26:36.000 I'm waiting to have kids, alright?

01:26:38.000 And then I'll read them.

01:27:54.000 The bill to provide funding for like COVID tracing is 6666.

01:27:59.000 Well, that's four sixes though.

01:28:01.000 It's one worse.

01:28:02.000 It's 33% worse than regular 666.

01:28:08.000 But come on, why would they do that?

01:28:10.000 This is why people think it's the end of the world.

01:28:12.000 You know what, man?

01:28:12.000 Oh, that's silly.

01:28:14.000 Contact tracing is gonna- I mean, what if it is literally just the 6,666th one?

01:28:33.000 That's silly.

01:28:34.000 It is really silly, but I thought it was so weird.

01:28:37.000 The Dashing Rogue says, people forget that Tesla makes overtime mandatory for its workers.

01:28:41.000 When Tesla opens in Texas, watch for complaints about the hours and work conditions.

01:28:45.000 Well, Elon Musk got to fix that, because those are legitimate complaints.

01:28:48.000 I will call him up.

01:28:50.000 That's true.

01:28:51.000 That's some of the stuff I was talking about.

01:28:53.000 My buddy that worked at Tesla, he would work there a ridiculous amount of hours.

01:28:58.000 I worked for American Eagle Airlines.

01:28:59.000 They also had mandatory overtime.

01:29:01.000 You could not leave.

01:29:03.000 If they could just tell you, nope.

01:29:05.000 You're staying.

01:29:05.000 Wow.

01:29:06.000 Otherwise you're fired.

01:29:06.000 But you'd get overtime pay though, right?

01:29:08.000 Yes.

01:29:08.000 Okay.

01:29:09.000 Legally they have to do it.

01:29:10.000 Right, right, right.

01:29:11.000 They call it mandatory.

01:29:12.000 Okay.

01:29:12.000 And so you'd be working a night shift.

01:29:13.000 It'd be Friday night.

01:29:14.000 You'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.

01:29:22.000 So it was kind of crazy because one flight could get delayed.

01:29:25.000 Yeah.

01:29:26.000 And it would be like, it's two hours late.

01:29:27.000 So you got to sit in that room and watch, you know, reruns of Friends for the next two hours.

01:29:31.000 You can't leave.

01:29:32.000 Yep.

01:29:32.000 Sucks.

01:29:33.000 People would bring an Xbox though to play video games, so.

01:29:35.000 Not so bad.

01:29:36.000 Not so bad.

01:29:37.000 Adrian says, do you think Obamagate articles are strategically released to prevent certain Democratic officials from replacing Biden?

01:29:44.000 Love the show.

01:29:45.000 I don't know about that.

01:29:46.000 Interesting.

01:29:47.000 I mean, it might actually encourage replacement if they implicate Biden in knowing these things too, so.

01:29:52.000 That's true.

01:29:52.000 I don't know.

01:29:53.000 I think they're coming out over time because there's two factors.

01:29:56.000 If Trump doesn't get reelected, then these people get away with everything.

01:30:00.000 And 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.

01:30:06.000 Yeah, I don't think the Democrats like any of this.

01:30:09.000 They played the game, man.

01:30:10.000 But we'll see if anyone actually gets in trouble, I doubt it.

01:30:14.000 I think it'll be low-ranking officials.

01:30:16.000 I don't think it's gonna be anyone high up.

01:30:18.000 Kyle Miller says, Tim's beanie is a SCP.

01:30:21.000 Hello, I'm from the government and I am here to help.

01:30:25.000 He says, so much respect to Elon Musk.

01:30:27.000 Lots of love to you guys, thanks for being you.

01:30:29.000 Appreciate it.

01:30:30.000 Wolfspain says, when will black communities learn these democratic strongholds and media aren't their friends?

01:30:35.000 I'm tired of seeing my community destroyed by politicians who don't care about them.

01:30:38.000 It's frustrating.

01:30:40.000 Zuby brought this up because Zuby is British and he said he genuinely didn't understand.

01:30:45.000 And Nigerian.

01:30:46.000 Is he?

01:30:46.000 Yeah, he is.

01:30:47.000 He 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.

01:30:54.000 Right.

01:30:54.000 Hey man, don't look at me because I don't know.

01:30:57.000 I'm not a part of that community so I can only give you an external opinion.

01:31:00.000 He does point out a lot of things.

01:31:02.000 People love ripping him apart for it too, but he's so right.

01:31:04.000 Didn't he write a song called Okay Dude?

01:31:06.000 He wrote a song about it too?

01:31:07.000 He did, yeah.

01:31:07.000 To go with his t-shirts and his suspension.

01:31:11.000 We're so getting banned this episode!

01:31:12.000 That dude's funny though, man.

01:31:14.000 He's red.

01:31:14.000 He's a cool dude.

01:31:15.000 He's got some really great points on life.

01:31:17.000 But it's interesting because he's, you know, coming from an outside perspective looking at how Americans, you know, vote in the black community.

01:31:24.000 And, I mean, he's right.

01:31:28.000 You've got Candace Owens and she's much more... 0.86

01:31:32.000 Okay.

01:31:33.000 I don't know much about her.

01:31:35.000 Her side of stuff.

01:31:36.000 So she just like, like, you know, it's aggressive, to say the least.

01:31:40.000 I don't know much about her.

01:31:42.000 Zoobie's inquisitive.

01:31:43.000 Her side of stuff.

01:31:44.000 You know, he'll be like, I'm genuinely curious, could someone help me understand why, you

01:31:46.000 know.

01:31:47.000 Yeah, that's what I like about him.

01:31:48.000 Candace Owens is like, these people have destroyed our community and they have no respect and

01:31:50.000 I will see them.

01:31:51.000 You know, she's much more aggressive on it. 0.99

01:31:52.000 But I defer to them, man.

01:31:54.000 I mean, you can't ignore their opinions.

01:31:57.000 What am I supposed to say?

01:31:58.000 Like, this one group of people is right, this other... No, I don't know.

01:32:01.000 I'll take their word for it.

01:32:04.000 Kyle Harman says, F-tyrants.

01:32:05.000 You know it.

01:32:06.000 Miguel, thanks for becoming a member.

01:32:07.000 Thank you.

01:32:08.000 Paul N says, Black Panthers are carrying rifles at Ahmaud Arbery events, and the media, except Daily Mail, is not reporting.

01:32:16.000 But I mean, who cares?

01:32:18.000 This is the crazy thing to me.

01:32:19.000 Like, I went to an event in Texas, and there were a bunch of white dudes with body armor and, like, rifles.

01:32:25.000 And 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.

01:32:33.000 And I'm like, There's no problems here, man.

01:32:36.000 The 2A people aren't freaking out that the Black Panthers showed up. 1.00

01:32:39.000 The Black Panthers showed up in Virginia to defend the Second Amendment, and they were like, thank you for being here.

01:32:44.000 The media is lying about who these people are.

01:32:47.000 They want you to think it's a bunch of racists when it's not.

01:32:49.000 It's liberty.

01:32:51.000 So it's like, when the Black Panthers show up to march with weapons, the people I know who are about Second Amendment are like, cool.

01:32:58.000 Yeah, right on.

01:32:59.000 Glad people are doing it.

01:33:00.000 Yeah, I agree.

01:33:02.000 Talbot says, truckers were affected by the gig bill too.

01:33:05.000 They were fixing the pipelines as the shutdown happened.

01:33:07.000 Surprised it went as well as it did.

01:33:09.000 Wow.

01:33:10.000 Spencer, thanks for the super chat.

01:33:12.000 A Raffle says, Hey Tim and cast, thanks for all you do. Check out recent vids,

01:33:17.000 the newest two are well...

01:33:19.000 Oh, my recent vids. Yeah, well I'll take a look. Excuse me.

01:33:23.000 Big LC says, how do you think things would be playing out if the DNC rigged the primary for

01:33:27.000 Buttigieg instead of Biden? If they did, I would be sitting here arguing about how I think Buttigieg

01:33:34.000 is slightly, you know, he's not strong enough to beat Trump, but Buttigieg is a legitimate candidate.

01:33:38.000 Like... More than Biden was.

01:33:40.000 What is Biden?

01:33:41.000 You know what it is?

01:33:42.000 Biden is like the last vestige of the Obama administration.

01:33:46.000 They need him in for whatever they're like to maintain their power.

01:33:51.000 Like Hillary was Obama. 0.87

01:33:52.000 That's funny.

01:33:53.000 You just made me realize that what we think of Biden is like the remnants of the left that still thinks they have power.

01:34:00.000 The media still thinks the left is cool.

01:34:02.000 Yep.

01:34:03.000 Biden, the Obama era, it's like, no, it's over.

01:34:06.000 It's an old man who can't think straight. 1.00

01:34:07.000 It's an old man who can't think straight. 1.00

01:34:08.000 And meanwhile, we're over here laughing at memes.

01:34:10.000 Yep.

01:34:11.000 And we're playing video games and laughing at memes, man.

01:34:13.000 Yep.

01:34:14.000 They don't get it. They lost. They lost this war.

01:34:16.000 Mm-hmm.

01:34:17.000 Nodar says, Heard you say you were thinking about getting a Flow Hive.

01:34:20.000 Be careful, some plants bees use produce honey that is almost solid and won't flow, thus making it almost impossible to remove without damage.

01:34:29.000 Interesting.

01:34:29.000 Well, we can't actually get it where we live anyway.

01:34:31.000 We're not zoned for any of that stuff.

01:34:33.000 We can't even have chickens.

01:34:34.000 Nonsense.

01:34:35.000 Now that's BS.

01:34:35.000 We really can't have a flow hive though?

01:34:37.000 No.

01:34:38.000 I wonder if that, whatever the pollen they get, if that's like all across the country or if it's in a certain area that that pollen is.

01:34:46.000 Interesting though.

01:34:47.000 We can't even have chickens, man.

01:34:48.000 Yeah.

01:34:49.000 Like, what's up with, you get a little chicken, you put them in your yard, man, and it poops out eggs and you eat them up.

01:34:53.000 Can't do it.

01:34:54.000 Because people are dirty.

01:34:56.000 I don't know.

01:34:56.000 I guess because the chickens can jump over fences and like get away or something.

01:34:59.000 Oh, really?

01:35:00.000 I don't know what the reason is.

01:35:01.000 Yeah.

01:35:02.000 Why chicken?

01:35:02.000 Like the roosters, I get, you know, people waking up and like, Hey, get out of here or goats and stuff.

01:35:07.000 I get, but chickens.

01:35:08.000 Now the bees too.

01:35:09.000 It's like, I think the bees might be like a, um, local safeties, like concerns or something.

01:35:15.000 I 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.

01:35:22.000 Somebody went and burned a bunch of hives down. 1.00

01:35:24.000 It's like, What?

01:35:25.000 Bees are essential for, like, one out of three bites of food. 1.00

01:35:29.000 People don't get that bees are chill.

01:35:31.000 Why are you killing bees?

01:35:32.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:35:32.000 They're super chill.

01:35:33.000 Bees are not wasps.

01:35:34.000 Yeah.

01:35:34.000 Like, if you get too close to a bee, they don't do anything.

01:35:38.000 They'll fly away.

01:35:39.000 Yeah.

01:35:39.000 They'll land on you and be like, what are you all about?

01:35:41.000 And yeah, bees are chill. 0.94

01:35:43.000 Yeah.

01:35:43.000 It's wasps and yellow jackets and people confuse them and hornets.

01:35:46.000 Yeah.

01:35:47.000 What?

01:35:47.000 drunk shovel says Elon's got that Afric Africans tenacity that take that it

01:35:53.000 takes to tame the the bush American needs that grit again Thomas says many

01:35:58.000 from the conservative tribe are against the use of masks say anything to excuse

01:36:02.000 themselves for not for not using them I now call them bug chasers oof Joseph 1.00

01:36:07.000 Taylor says after telling friends I bought my limit in meat for my freezer

01:36:10.000 my friends called me an alt-right quasi-theocratic libertarian what does

01:36:15.000 that mean? I don't know. No idea.

01:36:19.000 Oh, man.

01:36:20.000 Surprise, surprise, man.

01:36:20.000 Harley Rota, a Dem, who was put into office thanks to a ballot harvesting in Orange County,

01:36:26.000 California.

01:36:27.000 It was private.

01:36:28.000 Beach was seen at the beach after tweeting to all people in OC not to go to the beach.

01:36:32.000 Surprise, surprise, man.

01:36:34.000 Rules for thee, but not for me.

01:36:36.000 Kyle Miller says, Tim, when are you going to start selling a Tim Pool body pillow?

01:36:40.000 Well, we've got to do beanies.

01:36:42.000 I was thinking about doing skateboards.

01:36:43.000 It's pretty far down the list.

01:36:45.000 It'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.

01:36:49.000 Got to find a good company that makes boards, though, because, you know, I really like Deluxe, you know, Real and Antihero.

01:36:55.000 I can picture this body pillow though just like the top half is like a big beanie and then like some you know your face.

01:37:01.000 Oh 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.

01:37:19.000 We'll do skateboards, too.

01:37:20.000 David says, I saw an article about a bill that Dems were pushing not too long ago to abolish right-to-work states.

01:37:26.000 Probably.

01:37:26.000 That means you have to join the unions, I'm pretty sure.

01:37:29.000 Wolfsbane says, sorry Tim, I forgot to mention that my first Super Chat is about the mob mentality and manipulation around Ahmed Arbery.

01:37:35.000 It's like they don't realize it will just hurt them in the end.

01:37:38.000 This is what I don't get about, like, the people I know who are posting about Ahmed Arbery.

01:37:42.000 I just want to ask them, like, are you tired of being wrong?

01:37:45.000 You were wrong about Covington.

01:37:47.000 You were wrong about Justice Smollett.

01:37:49.000 There were a ton of other instances where you were wrong.

01:37:52.000 Like, hands up, don't shoot, during, like, Michael Brown stuff.

01:37:54.000 Okay.

01:37:54.000 Federal review, apparently.

01:37:55.000 That's what happened, right?

01:37:56.000 They reviewed the evidence and said he didn't have his hands up?

01:37:58.000 Yep.

01:37:58.000 No, they didn't.

01:37:59.000 I think it was on the autopsy.

01:37:59.000 Yeah, and that came out a few months ago.

01:38:00.000 Really?

01:38:01.000 I mean, a few months after the story or whatever.

01:38:04.000 So, all these narratives.

01:38:04.000 And now they're like, he was just jogging.

01:38:06.000 It's like, bro, dude wasn't jogging in the middle of the night three times.

01:38:09.000 Yeah, in construction sites.

01:38:11.000 I used to work construction.

01:38:12.000 No one does that.

01:38:13.000 They're in there stealing copper or tools, trying to find anything.

01:38:16.000 So why are all these conservatives coming out and being like, I always go to construction sites?

01:38:20.000 That doesn't make any sense.

01:38:21.000 I know.

01:38:21.000 I'm like, what?

01:38:22.000 Does that make it okay though?

01:38:23.000 No, they lock construction sites down.

01:38:25.000 You can't get in there.

01:38:27.000 If you can get in there, that means you found a way in there and you shouldn't be in there.

01:38:30.000 The garage door was open.

01:38:32.000 Okay, so why were you in there?

01:38:34.000 It's funny.

01:38:34.000 What's the reason?

01:38:36.000 Just checking out the construction, man.

01:38:37.000 You know, it's fun to look at a new build.

01:38:40.000 That's what people are saying.

01:38:42.000 That's why they leave little windows.

01:38:43.000 I took my family.

01:38:44.000 No, I'm just kidding.

01:38:45.000 Some people tweeted, like, I took my family to a new build just the other day.

01:38:47.000 I'm like, what?

01:38:49.000 Dude, where I grew up, you get smacked in the teeth.

01:38:52.000 Somebody sees you walking around on their property.

01:38:54.000 Yeah.

01:38:55.000 Like, I don't know.

01:38:56.000 That's Chicago, man, I guess.

01:38:57.000 That's weird to me, dude.

01:39:00.000 Matthew says, that's why I'm worried unionization in the game industry, professional game developers.

01:39:05.000 Totally.

01:39:06.000 Trey says, Louisiana is a right-to-work state.

01:39:08.000 If a company has a union, you don't have to join, and you get the same benefits as the union member.

01:39:13.000 I personally like that more.

01:39:15.000 Why would you want to join the union?

01:39:17.000 You'd just have to pay more money.

01:39:18.000 Garrett, don't ask me.

01:39:20.000 I have no idea.

01:39:20.000 Because when they go on strike, you lose your job?

01:39:24.000 I don't know.

01:39:24.000 I don't get it.

01:39:26.000 If you're in a union, and they say, hey, we're going on strike, guess what?

01:39:29.000 You can't work?

01:39:30.000 Nope.

01:39:31.000 Going on strike.

01:39:32.000 I'd be like nah.

01:39:32.000 I got needs, man. I gotta feed my family.

01:39:34.000 Yeah.

01:39:35.000 Nope. Going on strike.

01:39:36.000 I'd be like, nah, then what?

01:39:38.000 Bomchu says, my sister lost her job because Governor Prickster made it illegal

01:39:45.000 to run any type of non-union teaching facility.

01:39:47.000 This forced her daycare to join a union which wanted over four years of back dues amounting to over... What is that? 0.99

01:39:54.000 $50,000?

01:39:54.000 $500,000!

01:39:54.000 Four years of back dues?

01:39:57.000 How is that legal?

01:39:58.000 What?

01:39:59.000 That doesn't even make sense.

01:40:00.000 Not even.

01:40:02.000 Bone says our rights are inalienable, not government given.

01:40:05.000 The Constitution isn't just for sunny days.

01:40:07.000 President Trump has lost my confidence and perhaps a vote.

01:40:10.000 But why though?

01:40:11.000 He's not the one taking it away.

01:40:12.000 He's the one advocating for the rules to be restored.

01:40:17.000 Bill Barr is the one who's arguing the Constitution isn't suspended.

01:40:21.000 Connor says lockdowns, drones, armed protesters, insane media, even more polarization.

01:40:26.000 Where do we go from here?

01:40:27.000 Boogaloo, baby! 1.00

01:40:28.000 Where else do we go?

01:40:29.000 I don't know.

01:40:29.000 I don't know what else to do.

01:40:31.000 You know, I was thinking one of the results we might not expect is actually complete demoralization.

01:40:37.000 So what happens is that as things get crazier and crazier, people just stop caring completely.

01:40:43.000 So like, a boogaloo requires people to fight.

01:40:46.000 Okay.

01:40:47.000 And to have that energy and be like, and fall to their knees and yell, right?

01:40:50.000 Right.

01:40:51.000 But what happens if people feel defeated?

01:40:53.000 And then just go, I'm over this.

01:40:55.000 You guys want to go get pizza?

01:40:57.000 I don't think that's going to be a uniform feeling, though.

01:40:59.000 Giving up?

01:41:00.000 Yeah.

01:41:00.000 If everybody just gave up, then everything goes back to normal.

01:41:04.000 But you're right.

01:41:05.000 What's normal?

01:41:06.000 These anti-Trump people are foaming at the mouth.

01:41:08.000 Yeah.

01:41:08.000 It's nuts, man.

01:41:09.000 They really are.

01:41:10.000 What is wrong with these people, dude?

01:41:12.000 Rob, thanks for coming to Member.

01:41:13.000 Thank you.

01:41:14.000 Charles says, Tim, you don't want someone chained to your leg.

01:41:17.000 Don't work as an oarsman on a Roman galley.

01:41:20.000 I will keep that in mind.

01:41:22.000 Good advice.

01:41:26.000 Eric says, people seem to think lockdowns are a cure.

01:41:29.000 If we get the number low enough, it will disappear.

01:41:31.000 Lockdowns are a precaution, and a closed economy may kill more over a longer period of time than the virus.

01:41:37.000 And you know what people don't realize?

01:41:38.000 The economic damage comes slowly.

01:41:42.000 So everything we're seeing now is a delayed response.

01:41:45.000 Even if we reopened right now, the next few months, it's already coming, bro.

01:41:52.000 Seth Baldwin says, apparently there were 2.9 million background checks for freedom launchers in April.

01:41:56.000 Freedom launchers?

01:41:57.000 Freedom launchers.

01:41:58.000 I like the launchers.

01:41:58.000 Is that what they're called?

01:41:59.000 Enough to arm half the population of Denmark.

01:42:02.000 Very nice.

01:42:04.000 Sneaky 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.

01:42:10.000 If you ever decide to change the name of your podcast, think Pool Time would be fairly fitting.

01:42:15.000 But I think that would be more of like a silly, fun hangout thing with some skateboarding.

01:42:19.000 Pool Time.

01:42:19.000 We could do that.

01:42:20.000 Bone says these tyrannical governors went full fascist with President Trump turning a blind eye.

01:42:24.000 The solution was simple. No shoes, no shirt, no mask, no service.

01:42:28.000 But Trump doesn't have that power.

01:42:30.000 Tenth Amendment. The states are going to do it and Trump can't stop them.

01:42:33.000 Waterdance says Tim the rogue, Adam the bard, Lydia the cleric.

01:42:39.000 I do play Rogue 100%.

01:42:41.000 Played World of Warcraft.

01:42:42.000 The brief D&D we did, I played Rogue.

01:42:46.000 What do you play in D&D?

01:42:48.000 Probably more of like a Ranger kind of type, yeah.

01:42:52.000 Yeah, I go for Rogue.

01:42:54.000 Riverwind.

01:42:54.000 Sneaky.

01:42:56.000 Jeremy says, I'm on a Union eboard, and I don't get a damn cent.

01:43:00.000 You don't see old open shop guys, eats them up.

01:43:03.000 I get the chained to you idea, but baddies reps will proceed them, and they run themselves off. 0.87

01:43:10.000 Let's see.

01:43:12.000 Alargasoda says, I hate you Tim, love Richard.

01:43:15.000 But thank you for the $10.

01:43:17.000 Lars and Rune, thanks for the super chat.

01:43:19.000 John says, re-prisoners.

01:43:21.000 If they tried their best to get COVID, I wonder what percentage caught the CV by trying.

01:43:27.000 Would be interesting data set.

01:43:28.000 It's actually a good question.

01:43:29.000 We can look at how many actually tried and how many actually got it, and then see, like, deliberate infection rate.

01:43:35.000 But in that article, it was, they, they tried to infect each other.

01:43:40.000 Infected each other.

01:43:41.000 No one died.

01:43:41.000 Yeah, I know.

01:43:43.000 No one got released.

01:43:44.000 So they just, they were like, man, we're just, we have the flu now.

01:43:47.000 We're sick basically, just sick for a while.

01:43:52.000 King Canuck says, you aren't real skate punk unless you can play the Goldfinger discography.

01:43:57.000 And the only real punk is my specific punk.

01:43:59.000 Look how anti-conformist I am.

01:44:01.000 Ooh, yeah.

01:44:02.000 That's hipster.

01:44:02.000 I know the whole Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 soundtrack, baby.

01:44:05.000 Mike says, people who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them.

01:44:09.000 Eric Hoffer.

01:44:10.000 Check out the book, The True Believer.

01:44:12.000 Covfefe.

01:44:12.000 New Hampshire.

01:44:13.000 trump on twitter despite all the negative press coffee fee media trump can't

01:44:17.000 spell trump signs coffee fee act twitter

01:44:20.000 no point censoring the president now sad faced trump trump is a genius

01:44:25.000 forty says as far as i know coffee as far as i know texas does have a death penalty but not

01:44:30.000 but not by hanging new hampshire they do have just as a secondary form of death penalty new

01:44:35.000 hampshire and but when was the last time they actually 1939

01:44:38.000 1939.

01:44:38.000 1939, yeah, okay.

01:44:39.000 Yep, now I know all about this.

01:44:40.000 Thanks guys.

01:44:41.000 Gordy says, I live in El Paso and have a friend that worked as a prison guard a while back.

01:44:46.000 Maximum Casey says, I wanted to ask this question to all three of you.

01:44:49.000 What do you think about the difference between authoritarianism and totalitarianism and how

01:44:53.000 do you think those two apply in current events?

01:44:56.000 Well personally I think those are not on the same spectrum.

01:44:59.000 So, totalitarianism is authoritarianism.

01:45:01.000 But totalitarianism is like a more specific form of government where the government has total control over literally everything.

01:45:08.000 It is a form of authoritarianism.

01:45:10.000 It is peak, absolute authoritarianism.

01:45:13.000 But it doesn't say anything to the economic system.

01:45:16.000 So 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.

01:45:27.000 And 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.

01:45:34.000 I don't know if you guys have thoughts on that.

01:45:36.000 Leave it to you.

01:45:37.000 Zynmart says Utah used a firing squad a few years ago.

01:45:41.000 What?

01:45:41.000 Yeah, some states did have firing squad.

01:45:43.000 Firing squad?

01:45:44.000 What?

01:45:44.000 Brutal!

01:45:44.000 Yeah, it's pretty metal.

01:45:46.000 I don't know, man.

01:45:47.000 I gotta be honest.

01:45:48.000 It's so metal.

01:45:50.000 I think lethal injection might be worse, in my opinion.

01:45:53.000 Why?

01:45:53.000 You just go to sleep.

01:45:54.000 No, it's extremely painful.

01:45:55.000 Really?

01:45:56.000 Yeah, it's extremely painful.

01:45:57.000 Who's here to tell us this?

01:46:00.000 We 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.

01:46:07.000 Yikes.

01:46:08.000 So they issue a paralytic, and then it's an excruciatingly painful chemical death.

01:46:12.000 But it's not just that.

01:46:13.000 You know, I gotta be honest.

01:46:15.000 I completely oppose the death penalty in all its forms.

01:46:17.000 I think just walk me to the beach, I'll go in the ocean and start swimming.

01:46:22.000 Really?

01:46:22.000 Just swim that way.

01:46:23.000 It depends.

01:46:24.000 What have you done?

01:46:24.000 I will take my chances swimming in the ocean, then you locking me in a room and killing me.

01:46:29.000 Right?

01:46:30.000 It depends what I guess.

01:46:31.000 I mean, some people probably like I'll just end it now.

01:46:33.000 Now, man, what if you like to swim out and then you'll probably die.

01:46:38.000 But at least by my side, by drowning, probably.

01:46:44.000 That doesn't sound good.

01:46:45.000 Yeah, maybe.

01:46:47.000 But it's like, in the .001% chance you have of somehow surviving in some way.

01:46:52.000 You can befriend like a sea turtle and he'll help you.

01:46:55.000 In all likelihood, you're dead.

01:46:58.000 So you have guaranteed death in the death chamber with a state executioner.

01:47:02.000 Or you can go in the ocean and try swimming.

01:47:04.000 I'll go for the ocean, man.

01:47:06.000 You know?

01:47:07.000 Just go for it.

01:47:07.000 Whatever.

01:47:08.000 I mean, being put up against a wall and shot is more instant then, wouldn't it be?

01:47:12.000 Yeah, but it's the anticipation, right?

01:47:14.000 I'll tell you what.

01:47:15.000 The anticipation?

01:47:16.000 Here's what I would prefer.

01:47:18.000 I'd prefer not to know that I was sentenced to death and then just have like a surprise and have no idea it happened.

01:47:24.000 Like, let me go to bed one night, and have them tell me, don't worry, you're not being sent to death.

01:47:29.000 They could just gas your room. 0.52

01:47:30.000 Yeah.

01:47:31.000 Just suck the air out or something, or... Or suck the air out, oh, so you just will fall asleep.

01:47:35.000 Just fall asleep, and then carbon monoxide.

01:47:37.000 And then you just don't wake up.

01:47:38.000 Yeah, why don't we do that?

01:47:40.000 You just fall asleep and you don't wake up.

01:47:41.000 Yeah, just put him in a sealed room.

01:47:43.000 Go to sleep.

01:47:44.000 But not even tell him.

01:47:45.000 Just like... I don't believe the death penalty.

01:47:47.000 I think it's wrong.

01:47:48.000 I don't think anyone deserves to die.

01:47:50.000 It's a really, really tough moral, ethical situation.

01:47:52.000 Someone just said, death by covfefe.

01:47:54.000 Covfefe?

01:47:55.000 Well, like drinking too much coffee?

01:47:56.000 I appreciate that comment.

01:47:58.000 Mark says, Dallas and South Texas are very liberal compared to the rest of the state.

01:48:01.000 It's been shocking to see how many Texans support these shutdowns.

01:48:05.000 People are nuts, man.

01:48:06.000 Yeah, it's weird.

01:48:06.000 TheJackoLantern says, make Texas great again by keeping out the commies.

01:48:10.000 You know what?

01:48:10.000 This is what I don't get.

01:48:11.000 Just let them lock it all down.

01:48:13.000 Just let them do it.

01:48:13.000 Fine.

01:48:14.000 You know what?

01:48:14.000 Fine, whatever.

01:48:15.000 Figure out how you gotta survive.

01:48:17.000 But when they say, we must lock down, say, okay.

01:48:19.000 You know why?

01:48:20.000 Who do you think's gonna survive in a total apocalyptic scenario?

01:48:25.000 The urban liberals, who are demanding money from the government, or the conservatives, who live in semi-rural areas, who believe in personal responsibility.

01:48:33.000 Yep.

01:48:34.000 It's like, dude, if you want to sink the boat you're on, okay, fine, because I know how to swim and you don't.

01:48:38.000 Yep.

01:48:39.000 I'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.

01:48:46.000 God, I'm so glad I don't, I'm not there anymore.

01:48:48.000 People will be drinking each other's blood.

01:48:49.000 Wow.

01:48:51.000 Exciting.

01:48:51.000 Yeah, I'm only half kidding too.

01:48:52.000 Very metal.

01:48:53.000 Dave, thanks for the super chat.

01:48:55.000 Mark Martina says, Tim, have MSNBC or CNN ever asked you to guest appear for them?

01:48:59.000 If they haven't, and they did, would you show up?

01:49:02.000 Which host would you prefer to engage in a debate?

01:49:04.000 I don't like debates at all.

01:49:06.000 I don't debate anybody.

01:49:07.000 I love a discussion.

01:49:08.000 Debates are weird.

01:49:09.000 Debate is like this premise where you think you are right and you're battling to prove you're right or something.

01:49:14.000 I don't understand what the point is.

01:49:15.000 I'll have a discussion with somebody because there's probably a lot of things I don't know and we'll talk about it.

01:49:18.000 That's about it.

01:49:19.000 And if I end up having things that I think are wrong, well, the discussion is so that

01:49:22.000 we both can improve our understanding.

01:49:24.000 But I have been on MSNBC one time after I got attacked by anti-capitalists, essentially,

01:49:31.000 you know, our equivalent of Antifa back in 2011.

01:49:33.000 They had me on a talk about it.

01:49:36.000 That was a while ago.

01:49:38.000 And I don't think I have been on MSNBC or CNN since.

01:49:43.000 I don't think I've ever been on CNN.

01:49:44.000 I've been on Fox News several times.

01:49:45.000 It's really funny too.

01:49:46.000 Because 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.

01:49:53.000 And then a bunch of people at the company got mad at me, and I was like, but they told me to do this!

01:49:57.000 What are you mad at me for?

01:49:58.000 Yeah, but I would go on MSNBC or CNN, and it wouldn't be a debate.

01:50:05.000 I don't care who I talk to.

01:50:05.000 I'll talk to anybody, you know.

01:50:07.000 It'll be interesting.

01:50:09.000 It'll never happen, though, because they want to control the narrative.

01:50:12.000 Gary says, Dallas is heavily liberal, and the governor has been against it.

01:50:15.000 California has released thousands.

01:50:17.000 Yikes.

01:50:18.000 Andrew says, Arbery dividing people as well.

01:50:21.000 Absolutely.

01:50:21.000 Thank you, Sparka.

01:50:22.000 SuperBamBam says, Tim, why you keep touching yourself?

01:50:25.000 You've tugged on your shirt about 40 times according to chat at this time.

01:50:28.000 It's because my shirt keeps drooping.

01:50:30.000 It's over a hundred and I think 120 now.

01:50:32.000 My shirt droops and so I straighten it.

01:50:34.000 Fix it.

01:50:35.000 Have you noticed my neck starts going down and so I go like that.

01:50:38.000 No.

01:50:39.000 And then put it back up.

01:50:39.000 No one has.

01:50:40.000 I think it bothers Tim.

01:50:41.000 Because they don't know.

01:50:42.000 Now they know.

01:50:43.000 You should fix your shirt.

01:50:45.000 Fred Fredfurter says, would you moderate a political debate at any level for the 2020 election?

01:50:49.000 If so, would you wear an all-black suit and tie with a fancy beanie?

01:50:54.000 I would not moderate a political debate at any level.

01:50:57.000 I don't like debates.

01:50:59.000 You know, I could have a discussion with somebody.

01:51:01.000 But the second question though?

01:51:04.000 Would I wear an all black suit?

01:51:05.000 Absolutely not.

01:51:05.000 Of course not.

01:51:06.000 But the fancy beanie though.

01:51:08.000 I got invited to the Clinton- I want to see the fancy beanie.

01:51:10.000 I got invited to a Clinton Foundation Gala and this was I think in like, maybe, I can't remember what year it was.

01:51:17.000 2013 or 2014.

01:51:19.000 And I said, uh, only if I can wear my normal clothes.

01:51:24.000 And they said it's a black tie affair.

01:51:26.000 I said, too bad.

01:51:26.000 And I didn't do it.

01:51:27.000 Don't care.

01:51:29.000 The 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.

01:51:37.000 Yeah, interesting.

01:51:38.000 The Buzz says, Sidney Powell and Tim Fitton deserve the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

01:51:44.000 John Burkett says, Tim, shirt tug game on point.

01:51:47.000 But 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?

01:51:52.000 Yep.

01:51:53.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:51:54.000 I did it the night before you guys got back.

01:51:56.000 Yep.

01:51:56.000 I pointed it out.

01:51:58.000 This is your fault.

01:51:59.000 It's my fault.

01:51:59.000 I don't mind at all.

01:52:01.000 It becomes a thing now.

01:52:02.000 Everyone's loving it.

01:52:03.000 It's great.

01:52:04.000 Ceylon Blue says, did you see the tweets about people in SC that were in a subway with rocket launchers?

01:52:10.000 Thread had homophobic photo edits on the pics.

01:52:12.000 X2 double standards.

01:52:14.000 Yeah, I've seen some of the rocket launcher pics.

01:52:17.000 Ultimately, if someone's acting legally, I don't know what the problem is.

01:52:20.000 Is it loaded, though?

01:52:21.000 I think one of the problems, though, is there's absolutely a double standard.

01:52:25.000 Well, I think, anecdotally, there's a bunch of videos where you can see black people carrying guns and getting stopped, and it's nuts.

01:52:32.000 Okay.

01:52:32.000 That's why I'm like, dude, we need more, like, the NRA should be 100% on top of this.

01:52:36.000 Yeah, I agree.

01:52:37.000 I don't think they care.

01:52:37.000 I think it's tribal, though.

01:52:38.000 Yeah.

01:52:38.000 There's a video where a black dude's walking around with a rifle, and a bunch of SUVs swarm him, and like, get on the ground!

01:52:45.000 Get on the ground! 0.82

01:52:45.000 I think I've seen this video. 0.82

01:52:46.000 And they're pointing at him, and he lays down to take his gun away.

01:52:49.000 And 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.

01:52:54.000 All right, you're good.

01:52:54.000 Good to go.

01:52:55.000 Yep.

01:52:55.000 Now, that could be selective, you know, filming, right?

01:52:59.000 True.

01:52:59.000 Because 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.

01:53:10.000 Yeah, oh, okay.

01:53:11.000 But it was legally a pistol, and so the cops came and stopped him and detained him, and, like, it was a huge issue.

01:53:16.000 So, you know, I don't know what happens.

01:53:18.000 Let's see what we got.

01:53:19.000 Charles says, when it comes to who will win in November, Biden or Trump, I put my money on Vegas.

01:53:24.000 Totally agree.

01:53:26.000 I'm shocked he hasn't ripped it yet.

01:53:27.000 Gotta get it all out!

01:53:27.000 You know when you like, wind up a toy?

01:53:30.000 Or like, bring it back?

01:53:30.000 That's what he does.

01:53:31.000 Tugs per hour.

01:53:32.000 Oh, more than that.

01:53:32.000 You have no idea.

01:53:33.000 Because when the camera's not on, I'm going like this.

01:53:35.000 It's fun.

01:53:36.000 Ah!

01:53:37.000 I'm shocked he hasn't ripped it yet.

01:53:38.000 Gotta get it all out.

01:53:40.000 Now, you know when you like wind up a toy or like bring it back?

01:53:43.000 That's what he does every so often.

01:53:44.000 He needs to reset.

01:53:45.000 I actually have this big glass chamber and I go inside and I have to get all the tugs out,

01:53:51.000 but it generates a ton of energy, which powers the studio.

01:53:54.000 It's so cost-effective.

01:53:56.000 Also powers the beanie.

01:53:57.000 I love it.

01:53:58.000 Yeah, it's the best.

01:53:59.000 Thank you, Tim.

01:53:59.000 Ferocious Cake says, whoa, you guys see this?

01:54:02.000 U of A professor arrested on charges of ties to China.

01:54:05.000 I mean, that happens a lot.

01:54:06.000 Wouldn't be the first.

01:54:06.000 Yeah, not the first.

01:54:08.000 Mark says, see the White House press conference, I think about five different reporters asked the same question about tests, despite getting the same answers.

01:54:17.000 It's no wonder Trump walked off.

01:54:18.000 It's pointless talking to them.

01:54:20.000 Yup.

01:54:20.000 And that woman, what's her face from CNN, was arguing with Trump.

01:54:24.000 Trump's like, not you, her.

01:54:25.000 And she goes, but I have questions.

01:54:26.000 No, her. 0.75

01:54:27.000 But I have questions.

01:54:27.000 Okay, I'm out.

01:54:28.000 And then he just like walks off.

01:54:29.000 But she had questions, Tim.

01:54:31.000 Dude, I'd throw them out.

01:54:32.000 I'd be like, if you say one more word, can you escort them out?

01:54:36.000 Thank you.

01:54:36.000 Yeah.

01:54:36.000 But I guess he can't do that.

01:54:37.000 He got sued.

01:54:38.000 Really?

01:54:38.000 When he took away Jim Acosta's press pass.

01:54:40.000 Oh, man.

01:54:40.000 So, he did the right thing.

01:54:42.000 I love it.

01:54:43.000 He's just like, thank you everybody, and he walks away.

01:54:44.000 I agree.

01:54:45.000 I agree.

01:54:46.000 It's like, you're not going to listen to me?

01:54:47.000 You're going to argue with me?

01:54:48.000 I'm out of here.

01:54:49.000 They argue, we shouldn't show his press events because he's lying.

01:54:52.000 Then they demanded press events.

01:54:55.000 Because you stopped them.

01:54:56.000 Then he brings them back and they say, oh, we can't show this.

01:54:58.000 He's lying.

01:54:58.000 It's like, shut up.

01:54:59.000 You people are awful.

01:55:01.000 I can't stand these people.

01:55:02.000 Nicholas says, the Dems running Biden is proof that within the next 25 years, the party will attempt to run an artificial AI candidate.

01:55:09.000 Black Mirror is here.

01:55:11.000 I mean, what if they use CGI Joe Biden to debate?

01:55:14.000 Wouldn't it be funny if like Joe Biden standing on stage and he's not, he's like not really moving.

01:55:19.000 And then he moves like this.

01:55:22.000 Well, Trump, I personally disagree.

01:55:25.000 That'd be great.

01:55:28.000 I'd be like, yes!

01:55:29.000 Freaky.

01:55:30.000 Like, not even good animatronics, like Chuck E. Cheese level, like 30-year-old banjo-playing Chuck E. Cheese Joe Biden.

01:55:37.000 Matthew says, Simp is now banned on Twitch.

01:55:40.000 Wait, the word?

01:55:40.000 Is it really?

01:55:41.000 Seriously?

01:55:42.000 ML says, it says a lot about conservative media that my best talking points come from a guy as left as Tim.

01:55:47.000 You do really do a great service, brother in liberty.

01:55:51.000 Appreciate it.

01:55:53.000 NotEisenbear says, can you tug your shirt please?

01:55:55.000 Nah, get out of here. 0.92

01:55:57.000 LR 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.

01:56:04.000 I agree.

01:56:06.000 Conversations.

01:56:07.000 The Grizzly says, did you guys get the new Ikora set in Magic?

01:56:11.000 I heard they had Godzilla cards in that set.

01:56:13.000 What kinds of decks would you build?

01:56:14.000 And who are your favorite Godzilla monsters if you watched the movies?

01:56:18.000 I haven't, have you?

01:56:19.000 I haven't played Ikora yet.

01:56:22.000 I actually just re-downloaded Arena on my computer.

01:56:26.000 And I was just checking it out.

01:56:29.000 And Ghidorah?

01:56:31.000 Is that the Hydra?

01:56:32.000 Like the multi-headed dragon?

01:56:34.000 No idea.

01:56:34.000 I think it's...

01:56:37.000 I don't remember.

01:56:37.000 That's my favorite Godzilla monster.

01:56:39.000 The multi-headed one.

01:56:40.000 The multi-headed dinosaur.

01:56:43.000 Sweet.

01:56:43.000 Hydra dragon thing or what?

01:56:44.000 Yeah, I forget the name of it though.

01:56:46.000 But yeah, he's cool.

01:56:47.000 Let's see, let's see.

01:56:48.000 Cranberry says, our goal, the right, is liberty and tolerance.

01:56:52.000 So if you can tolerate us and not call us, including liberals and conservatives, evil, God willing.

01:56:57.000 Nicholas says, Tim, Jesus, Lydia, do you think that in the near future with devices like Neuralink, politics will get more or less divided?

01:57:05.000 I think less divided.

01:57:07.000 I don't know.

01:57:08.000 I think a lot of people are more similar than they let on or want to believe.

01:57:13.000 It's not that.

01:57:13.000 Once they create, there's two things that will change the world.

01:57:17.000 Have you seen Altered Carbon?

01:57:19.000 Oh, Jidra. Yeah. Gidora is the name. Sorry. I was, I was, people in chat were,

01:57:24.000 have you, have you seen Altered Carbon? I have. Yeah. Where they have the cortical

01:57:27.000 stack that stores their consciousness. Yeah. All of a sudden your body is irrelevant.

01:57:30.000 Yeah. It's just a sleeve. And you can slip in and out of, and, but so that also plays into the other

01:57:34.000 idea of virtual worlds. So in Altered Carbon, they have like, they can go into virtual and

01:57:38.000 there's constructs they can be in. Right. But dude, I'll tell you what, as soon as we have neural link,

01:57:43.000 which can transmit virtual reality into your brain. So your brain experience experiences Skyrim.

01:57:49.000 Politics will be over because people will literally be like, bro, bro, I don't care.

01:57:53.000 Just make sure there's food on my table so I can go back to Skyrim.

01:57:55.000 I don't agree with that.

01:57:57.000 People are going to want to live in other worlds, man.

01:57:59.000 Not everybody.

01:58:00.000 There's gonna be some people that will forever deny Neuralink and will fight it.

01:58:08.000 In 70 years?

01:58:09.000 You're right.

01:58:10.000 In 70 years, yeah, maybe.

01:58:11.000 There'll be an older generation like, I'm not getting that thing put in my brain! 1.00

01:58:14.000 And then their kids are born.

01:58:16.000 There might always be that faction though.

01:58:19.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:58:20.000 Luddites.

01:58:21.000 They'll exist.

01:58:22.000 But there's gonna be people who, you know, in a hundred, two hundred years, it'll be a small minority that doesn't.

01:58:26.000 Yeah.

01:58:27.000 Like, even in Altered Carbon, they have the Neo-Catholic. 1.00

01:58:29.000 Right.

01:58:29.000 That, like, refuse to be re-loaded into new bodies.

01:58:32.000 For 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.

01:58:38.000 Right.

01:58:39.000 So that will change a whole lot of our perception about, you know, race and stuff like that.

01:58:44.000 Gender, but it's not it's not so much about the changing bodies that I'm bringing up.

01:58:47.000 It'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.

01:59:14.000 We're connected to a bunch of people who are connected to a bunch of people.

01:59:17.000 But, 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.

01:59:28.000 Okay.

01:59:29.000 Absolutely, yeah.

01:59:30.000 So, if they created a space... But will they have the same amount of power, though?

01:59:35.000 It's like, alright, it's time to vote.

01:59:37.000 You just close your eyes and, you know, you just tell your Neuralink who you're voting for.

01:59:41.000 Boom.

01:59:41.000 And that's it.

01:59:42.000 It's like, you know... It'll get really, really, really bad.

01:59:46.000 Really bad.

01:59:47.000 Because you'll have a bunch of people now be like, oh, I'm gonna vote, just whatever, Democrat.

01:59:51.000 Because they don't know.

01:59:52.000 They don't know or care.

01:59:53.000 People aren't going to care.

01:59:54.000 They're going to think Skyrim.

01:59:55.000 Unless, to vote, you actually have to watch the video in your head.

01:59:58.000 Nah.

01:59:59.000 Something like that.

02:00:00.000 What video?

02:00:00.000 Who knows?

02:00:01.000 I don't know.

02:00:01.000 I'm just coming up with something.

02:00:04.000 If 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.

02:00:11.000 But do you think that they would be the majority?

02:00:15.000 That whoever they voted for would be the person who got the power then?

02:00:21.000 Or the people who pay attention are the majority, that they would actually make the decision?

02:00:26.000 Who do you think, in that sense?

02:00:28.000 The people who don't care, that don't know... Will always win.

02:00:32.000 Will always win.

02:00:33.000 Always win.

02:00:34.000 You know why?

02:00:35.000 Because the politician's gonna say, in order to win, I just need to get all these people who don't care.

02:00:39.000 You vote for me, and I'll give you a thousand bucks!

02:00:42.000 Okay.

02:00:43.000 They're gonna be like, eh, whatever.

02:00:44.000 But they actually have to care a little bit to even listen to that person say that.

02:00:48.000 So the point is, the guy will just run ads only saying, I'll give you a thousand bucks.

02:00:51.000 Over and over and over again, everywhere.

02:00:53.000 Okay.

02:00:53.000 And so that way they'll be like, I don't know this other guy, I don't know what he's all about.

02:00:56.000 Something about, you know, immigration.

02:00:57.000 The other guy's gonna give me money, so I'll vote for him.

02:01:00.000 Kind of like Andrew Yang, to be honest.

02:01:02.000 Although Andrew Yang had a whole lot of really great policies.

02:01:04.000 Perhaps that's what he was trying for, I don't know.

02:01:06.000 But what ends up happening is you'll end up with emotional voters versus logical voters.

02:01:10.000 But you've said it before.

02:01:12.000 People will walk in and be like, man, I don't know, whatever.

02:01:14.000 And that's what they're going to end up doing.

02:01:17.000 They're not going to be out there looking at ads, watching TV, looking at the ads.

02:01:21.000 No.

02:01:21.000 Their friends are going to be like, you're voting for a Democrat.

02:01:23.000 And they'll go, oh yeah, sure.

02:01:25.000 Okay.

02:01:26.000 Oh, you're voting for a Republican?

02:01:27.000 okay. But no, but urban centers with dense populations like the popular vote, it's why 0.81

02:01:32.000 we have the Electoral College. Okay. So I guess if we maintain an Electoral College,

02:01:36.000 that could have a serious impact on how the vote, you know, works. Okay. But if it were,

02:01:41.000 so I guess, yeah, I guess that's what it really comes down to. For the most part, though,

02:01:45.000 I think Republicans tend to be engaged, at least what we're seeing right now. Okay. The right is

02:01:51.000 people who are debating and challenging and things like that. And the left is a bunch of emotional

02:01:55.000 people who aren't paying attention. Like, dude, I got to be honest. Okay. If I guarantee you 90%

02:02:02.000 of my friends who do vote Democrat, if I actually sat down with them for 10 minutes, they wouldn't.

02:02:09.000 And I'd be like, I'm not.

02:02:10.000 And that's what happened to me.

02:02:12.000 But for real.

02:02:14.000 So think about the millions of Democrat voters who have no idea what's going on and just go Democrat.

02:02:19.000 Whatever.

02:02:20.000 No idea.

02:02:21.000 And then what do they do for the past three years?

02:02:23.000 Scandal, scandal, scandals.

02:02:24.000 Getting nothing done.

02:02:25.000 No issues.

02:02:27.000 But I don't think you're taking into the what Neuralink will become in 70 years, 100 years.

02:02:33.000 It's not, you're almost not going to be able to just be clueless on what's happening because you're going to be connected.

02:02:39.000 It'll be, I mean, I mean, I guess I'm making, I'm making, yeah, but not inside, in my brain.

02:02:46.000 Like that's a, that's like another level of connected that we don't even understand yet.

02:02:50.000 There's not gonna be a point where you won't have that choice.

02:02:54.000 Unless you're talking about the Borg.

02:02:56.000 Then the Borg, there would be no vote.

02:02:58.000 It would be a constant buzz.

02:03:00.000 So if we have Neuralink, then you would basically be like, you'd be sitting there and you'd

02:03:05.000 think Twitter and then the thing would pop up and you'd be looking at it in your mind.

02:03:09.000 You'd be choosing to do these things.

02:03:10.000 Yeah, but that's a good point though, the whole Borg thing.

02:03:14.000 That's kind of what I'm trying to lean towards.

02:03:16.000 It'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.

02:03:31.000 Yeah, but Twitter, as you told me, is only like, what, 2% of the population?

02:03:35.000 Those 2% of people who are active and engaged on Twitter are ripping each other's heads off and at war.

02:03:40.000 That's true.

02:03:41.000 So what do you think would happen if you plugged everybody into that war?

02:03:44.000 You'd have a civil war in two seconds.

02:03:47.000 Or the majority would be like, you small minority over there, and you small minority over there, shut up.

02:03:53.000 Nope.

02:03:54.000 Because- That could happen though, you can't just say nope.

02:03:57.000 Yes I can, because we have- Okay, fly.

02:03:58.000 We have nope you back.

02:03:59.000 Nope.

02:03:59.000 We have every historical reference to say that you're wrong.

02:04:01.000 Okay.

02:04:02.000 In the Revolutionary War- But we're not there yet.

02:04:04.000 In 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.

02:04:09.000 Dude, 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.

02:04:17.000 Okay, so when the majority in the rebel in the colony said no to war and the revolutionary said we're doing it anyway, right?

02:04:23.000 They 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.

02:04:40.000 Even though the majority of people are saying Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, leave me alone,

02:04:43.000 the warring factions are still showing up in the street, punching each other,

02:04:46.000 and everything's still going nuts. So even if you connected everybody into everyone's minds,

02:04:51.000 it's always most people who say no, stop, I don't want to be involved,

02:04:54.000 and then a small handful of crazies pick up arms and go nuts, and it drags everybody into it.

02:04:58.000 Yeah, I'm not saying that that can't happen.

02:05:01.000 Sure.

02:05:02.000 That's not what I was saying.

02:05:03.000 I'm saying that there is still the possibility of what I said to come true.

02:05:07.000 We don't understand.

02:05:08.000 Neuralink is something that's going to bring us all together on a different level that we don't understand yet.

02:05:13.000 I think it's fair to say that we don't know what the full effects will be if we're fully plugged in.

02:05:17.000 But I also think it's fair to point out the precursor is things like Twitter.

02:05:17.000 Yeah.

02:05:22.000 Sure.

02:05:22.000 Where we can see what happens when large swaths of the population are placed into this virtual political space.

02:05:30.000 I still feel like the Twitterverse is not the... We're still kind of figuring it out.

02:05:36.000 We gotta wait like 10 more years to really understand what it's doing to us as a society, as a whole.

02:05:44.000 You know what I mean?

02:05:45.000 Like, what you're just saying right there, it's like, still, only 2% of the population are on Twitter.

02:05:49.000 Not everybody's on Twitter.

02:05:51.000 Look at the data from LexisNexis going back to 2008.

02:05:54.000 Okay.

02:05:55.000 Where words like, phrases like, critical race theory, social justice, feminism, racism, skyrocketed, like, several, like, just thousands of times.

02:06:07.000 Mm-hmm.

02:06:08.000 Thousand-fold plus.

02:06:09.000 Whereas the news used to say racism, you know, like, 10 times a month, it now says it a million times a month.

02:06:09.000 Yeah.

02:06:14.000 Right, exactly.

02:06:15.000 We're that much more connected.

02:06:16.000 Now plug everyone into that.

02:06:17.000 Okay.

02:06:18.000 And they will go insane in seconds.

02:06:20.000 Right, but it's also the people that are making those things trend are not fully knowledgeable about everything that's happening.

02:06:28.000 They don't care.

02:06:29.000 They want money.

02:06:30.000 Right, the specifics of them, but as a whole, I don't know if I agree with that.

02:06:34.000 You plug everybody in, and you're still going to have 80% of people saying,

02:06:38.000 I don't care, and I'm not paying attention. And then of the small factions, you're going to have

02:06:41.000 people vying for influence, lying and manipulating to gain that influence. Then you will see all of

02:06:46.000 these people right now who don't read Vox and BuzzFeed, now they're plugged into it, and the

02:06:51.000 access is substantially easier, and it can just appear in front of them or whatever the circumstance

02:06:56.000 is where they can just know it. And now you've rapidly hyperpolarized all of the masses.

02:07:01.000 But 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.

02:07:10.000 Actually, you seem pretty ignorant on what's actually going on, and you're just screaming.

02:07:14.000 And, you know, we're already seeing a shift.

02:07:16.000 It's already changing.

02:07:17.000 Maybe, but the problem is, Okay.

02:07:19.000 300 people went out January 20th, 2017, starting fires and throwing bricks and running through

02:07:25.000 the streets of D.C.

02:07:26.000 OK.

02:07:27.000 In a town of millions of people, it takes only hundreds to destabilize everything.

02:07:32.000 During Occupy Wall Street, it took one pepper spraying to spark a national movement.

02:07:36.000 So if you have most people saying enough, perhaps what could happen is these establishment

02:07:43.000 resistance types get backed into a corner and then snap.

02:07:45.000 And then say our only opportunity is to go nuts because we've lost all our power.

02:07:52.000 First 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.

02:08:01.000 It basically just means that you've got your phone in your head.

02:08:04.000 Well, people still don't use Twitter, even though they can use their phone to get it if they wanted to.

02:08:07.000 That's like level one Neuralink.

02:08:09.000 Yes.

02:08:10.000 So then at what point do people lose their free will?

02:08:13.000 That's a good point.

02:08:14.000 That's a good question.

02:08:14.000 It's not going to happen.

02:08:16.000 The 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.

02:08:25.000 I agree.

02:08:26.000 So, there's going to be a lot of people who reject it.

02:08:28.000 There's going to be, you know, Luddites and people who refuse to get it.

02:08:33.000 It 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.

02:08:43.000 But there will always be some people who won't wire in.

02:08:46.000 And then they'll go arm up.

02:08:48.000 And then... That'll be it.

02:08:50.000 Then some people will see some things and it'll change and disrupt.

02:08:53.000 I don't think that we can... It's very likely that right now, based on what Neuralink is, we're gonna have a Borg situation.

02:09:02.000 Where people lose free will.

02:09:03.000 Which means, even if you're wired in, I don't gotta listen to what you have to say.

02:09:07.000 People would go insane.

02:09:09.000 Could you imagine trying to sit down and watch a movie and you hear someone screeching?

02:09:13.000 Definitely not.

02:09:14.000 I couldn't handle that.

02:09:14.000 So then why would anyone do it different from what Twitter already is?

02:09:18.000 I think what Neuralink will do is if we get to the point where we can actually project

02:09:23.000 experiences into your brain, then people will just buy experiences like video games.

02:09:30.000 So it'll be gone.

02:09:30.000 You get to act, right, exactly.

02:09:32.000 You get to actually be in this world.

02:09:34.000 People will be like, I go to, you know what they'll do?

02:09:37.000 You put in the Neuralink, you send yourself to the beach while your body just goes to

02:09:42.000 the motions doing the job.

02:09:44.000 Think about that.

02:09:45.000 If we get to that point, and then you, like, come to and you're like, wow, I just worked eight hours and I don't even remember.

02:09:50.000 Yep.

02:09:50.000 I was at the beach.

02:09:51.000 Just chilling.

02:09:52.000 Virtual reality.

02:09:54.000 All right, here's what we're going to do.

02:09:55.000 We're going to start speeding up to the super chat, so I apologize.

02:09:58.000 Oh, we're already 10 minutes over.

02:09:59.000 Yeah, we're way over.

02:10:00.000 Well, we kind of went on a tangent there.

02:10:03.000 That was great.

02:10:04.000 I couldn't help myself.

02:10:05.000 But I do think that we actually might have to super speed through because we literally have like a couple hundred super chats.

02:10:14.000 Oh, wow.

02:10:15.000 Thank you so much, everyone.

02:10:17.000 All right, let's see.

02:10:18.000 Thank you, everybody.

02:10:19.000 Let's go for it.

02:10:19.000 You guys are fantastic.

02:10:20.000 Overwhelmed.

02:10:21.000 Oh, man, there is so much.

02:10:23.000 That was a lot of fun to debate you there, Tim.

02:10:25.000 It was good.

02:10:26.000 It's always good to have a little conflict on the show.

02:10:28.000 Alexander says, letting people starve to death was the second thing that happened after the Russian Revolution.

02:10:33.000 That is, after they put the farmers in camps.

02:10:36.000 Sean says, sending some of my Trump bucks to recommend that the lady crochets a beanie for the top of that UFO.

02:10:43.000 Also, what do you think about underwater farming and livable habitats?

02:10:47.000 Um, Bioshock.

02:10:49.000 Totally down.

02:10:50.000 I don't know if Underwater, but they are actually working on these floating islands that are self-sustaining universities.

02:10:57.000 What?

02:10:57.000 Yeah, they're actually colleges that are really, it's like the beginning of it, but they're making it a school, so it's kind of cool.

02:11:07.000 Well, they get the funding, I'm sure it's a lot easier.

02:11:09.000 Basically, it's a fully self-sustaining island that has everything you can think of.

02:11:16.000 It's pretty cool.

02:11:17.000 We can make biodomes in jars.

02:11:20.000 You ever see those things?

02:11:21.000 Yeah.

02:11:23.000 I've actually been to the biodome.

02:11:27.000 Oh, really?

02:11:28.000 The real one?

02:11:28.000 Yeah, the real one.

02:11:29.000 It's in Arizona.

02:11:30.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:11:31.000 There's two, aren't there?

02:11:33.000 I've been to Biodome, too.

02:11:34.000 I don't know if the first one still exists or where it is.

02:11:37.000 It failed, though, didn't it?

02:11:39.000 Like, they tried to do it?

02:11:40.000 No, they were in there for a few years.

02:11:42.000 Oh, wow, really?

02:11:42.000 Yeah.

02:11:43.000 They made a movie about it.

02:11:44.000 Yeah.

02:11:44.000 Pauly Shore was there.

02:11:45.000 Biodome.

02:11:46.000 Biodome.

02:11:47.000 Jack says, wait, so we don't get to have a civil war?

02:11:49.000 Well, we'll see, I guess.

02:11:50.000 Yeah.

02:11:51.000 Mike says, Seattle port cop fired for speaking out against tyranny.

02:11:54.000 Thoughts?

02:11:55.000 Shame. Hey, if he's speaking out against tyranny, firing him, doing the right thing.

02:12:00.000 Free Nation says, what's your take on the silence of climate change activists through all this?

02:12:03.000 We've shut down the global economy. You'd figure they'd be lauding the impact,

02:12:07.000 putting aside Venice canals just on CO2 because they don't want to accept that

02:12:11.000 all the misery coming from this is what they were proposing.

02:12:14.000 Hammer says, please stop giving Jon Stewart credit for a format

02:12:19.000 that Rush Limbaugh created in 1992-96.

02:12:22.000 Kilbourn was the first host in 96 of the show, then Stewart in 98.

02:12:26.000 Rush first at Comedy Politics TV.

02:12:28.000 I'm not saying Jon Stewart created it.

02:12:30.000 I'm saying that back in the day we trusted him because he was honest about it.

02:12:32.000 Yeah, but was Rush on the left, though?

02:12:35.000 Wasn't he a Republican?

02:12:36.000 Yeah.

02:12:36.000 Right, so you were saying that John was leading on the left, who was intellectually honest and funny.

02:12:42.000 Right, right, right.

02:12:42.000 And now we've lost those thought leaders, so you're left with a weird husk of emotionally reactive leftists.

02:12:47.000 Yeah, that's not the same.

02:12:50.000 Maris says, this lockdown reminds me of the story of Killdozer.

02:12:54.000 Tread on those who tread on you.

02:12:55.000 Yikes.

02:12:56.000 Mm.

02:12:57.000 Keys says, Ree, love the show and love the fact that you are based in facts.

02:13:01.000 Being a black conservative, I know the struggles of trying to communicate with the left.

02:13:04.000 Appreciate you guys and your honesty.

02:13:06.000 Appreciate it.

02:13:06.000 Thank you.

02:13:07.000 Hudson 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.

02:13:14.000 It's probably designed to instigate race riots. 0.95

02:13:17.000 And it might.

02:13:18.000 Yeah, maybe.

02:13:19.000 Yes!

02:13:20.000 I heard a rumor that they're actually making a TV series.

02:13:21.000 because Adam likes Wheel of Time, the greatest series of all time.

02:13:24.000 Keep up the good work, guys.

02:13:25.000 Oh, there you go.

02:13:26.000 See, shout out the book.

02:13:27.000 I did hear, I heard a rumor that they're actually making a TV series.

02:13:33.000 I don't know how I feel about it, but if they mess it up, I'm gonna be pissed.

02:13:37.000 They're working on this lineup.

02:13:38.000 They better do it right.

02:13:39.000 They're gonna inject a bunch of weird feminism stuff into it. 1.00

02:13:42.000 That's what they're doing behind.

02:13:43.000 I heard about that actually.

02:13:44.000 With what?

02:13:44.000 With a series that I really love.

02:13:46.000 Which one?

02:13:47.000 The Terry Pratchett series, the Discworld series.

02:13:51.000 Messing it up.

02:13:52.000 It's what happens, man.

02:13:54.000 Let'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?

02:14:02.000 There's a GoFundMe.

02:14:02.000 I will check that out.

02:14:04.000 I think I saw that video.

02:14:06.000 Big 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?

02:14:16.000 I feel it a lot.

02:14:17.000 I don't talk to my family about these things.

02:14:19.000 Nope, I don't care what people think about me.

02:14:23.000 Or talk, like, whatever.

02:14:25.000 I give my family my honest opinion.

02:14:27.000 I give my friends my honest opinion.

02:14:28.000 I give you my honest opinion.

02:14:30.000 That's all I can say.

02:14:32.000 It's annoying when you talk their ears off and they don't care.

02:14:34.000 But 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.

02:14:41.000 I can show you the article if you're interested.

02:14:42.000 Otherwise we can go have pizza.

02:14:44.000 It's up to you.

02:14:45.000 And if they're like, well, I'll be like, look, if you want to have an argument about whether he did or didn't, we can.

02:14:49.000 I think it's kind of boring, but I'm telling you he didn't.

02:14:52.000 I bet a lot of my family is really stoked that I'm like more in line with Trump now than I was ever before.

02:14:59.000 Cause they're, cause Arizona conservatives or what?

02:15:01.000 No, no, no.

02:15:01.000 My family in, in Illinois.

02:15:04.000 Oh, are they Illinois conservatives?

02:15:06.000 Probably.

02:15:06.000 I would say that.

02:15:07.000 I mean, outside of Chicago, it's all Republican.

02:15:09.000 They're in the burbs.

02:15:10.000 Yeah.

02:15:11.000 Let's see.

02:15:12.000 Let's see.

02:15:13.000 Omniplex says, if you love Wheel of Time, you'll love Brandon Sanderson's collection of novels, collectively known as the Cosmere.

02:15:19.000 I'd highly recommend starting with Mistborn by my favorite author.

02:15:23.000 I've read them all.

02:15:25.000 Have you really?

02:15:25.000 Well, Brandon Sanderson finished The Wheel of Time, because Robert Jordan died before he could finish it.

02:15:30.000 Although he did write the last book, or the end war anyway, but it was great.

02:15:35.000 And that's how I found Brandon Sanderson, and I read all of his stuff.

02:15:39.000 He's great.

02:15:41.000 Nice.

02:15:41.000 That was pretty good.

02:15:42.000 nicotine like caffeine is used in plants as an insecticide and was widely used as

02:15:47.000 this in the past it is it is not known as an antiviral Aaron Garcia says because the Shapiro impression was spot-on

02:15:54.000 lol it was it nice I was pretty good JT says love the show guys keep it

02:15:59.000 the good work for whoever is looking for a good book I highly recommend the

02:16:02.000 Licanius trilogy by James Islington cool Jackson says first time catching the

02:16:07.000 live Normally watch on 1.5 speed.

02:16:11.000 Speak faster.

02:16:12.000 How's that?

02:16:13.000 Local Costco replaced meats with the tofu deli meat.

02:16:15.000 Supermarkets still have meat, so maybe it's a quality issue.

02:16:17.000 There are no chicks with Ds. 0.98

02:16:18.000 Johnny only dudes with Bobs.

02:16:20.000 Wow, that was good.

02:16:21.000 That was great.

02:16:21.000 Auctioneer.

02:16:23.000 Jackson, your revenge says, movie to watch, fight club, manga to read, berserk, game to play, RDR2.

02:16:29.000 People to love, all kinds, freedom to give up, none.

02:16:30.000 Red Dead 2 is really good.

02:16:33.000 Bastion's mom says to finish The Expanse, need another recommendation.

02:16:35.000 Also Rhea, Revelations by Michael J. Sullivan is an amazing book series for those looking for something good to read.

02:16:40.000 Man, The Expanse was a good show.

02:16:42.000 It was a good show.

02:16:43.000 I don't have anything offhand.

02:16:44.000 It's really funny because people are always like, on the Jogan podcast, they said, that guy talks really fast, he's gotta be on uppers.

02:16:51.000 It's like, dude, I try really hard to speak slower.

02:16:53.000 Yeah.

02:16:54.000 This is his natural tone.

02:16:57.000 But I am not, I am on no uppers other than, I guess right now, caffeine.

02:17:00.000 Coffee, yeah.

02:17:01.000 Yeah, you do drink coffee.

02:17:02.000 But I drink less than the average person.

02:17:05.000 Yeah, I guess so, huh?

02:17:05.000 Yeah.

02:17:05.000 You drink one cup in the morning, is that right?

02:17:08.000 It's two cups.

02:17:09.000 Okay.

02:17:09.000 Yeah.

02:17:10.000 It's because I do a big glass.

02:17:12.000 But the average person drinks like four a day, I think, or some ridiculous number.

02:17:17.000 Maybe I'm wrong.

02:17:17.000 Four cups a day?

02:17:18.000 Because they have... I drink two cups.

02:17:20.000 Because they have two in the morning and then two in the afternoon or something like that.

02:17:23.000 Okay.

02:17:24.000 I just have... I've been doing this oatmeal coffee.

02:17:27.000 It's actually a little bit less than, I think, technically... No, I think it's about two cups of coffee.

02:17:32.000 Yeah.

02:17:34.000 But that's... I just talk fast, man.

02:17:38.000 Yes, you do.

02:17:39.000 Action Bob says, Tim, I beg you, stop conflating the thin blue line with code of silence.

02:17:44.000 Thin blue line is the border between the lawful and the criminal.

02:17:47.000 Don't cross the line is an admonition to stay honorable.

02:17:50.000 I will keep that in mind in the future.

02:17:51.000 I appreciate it.

02:17:52.000 Doctor Doctor says, what is your opinion on objectivism as a philosophy to live by?

02:17:56.000 I am not super familiar with objectivism, but I understand it's like similar to libertarianism?

02:18:00.000 I don't know.

02:18:01.000 I don't know.

02:18:02.000 Nope 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.

02:18:10.000 Seattle PD basically proved his whole point.

02:18:12.000 Good for him.

02:18:13.000 Good for him.

02:18:14.000 I'm sad to see him get fired.

02:18:15.000 That's BS.

02:18:16.000 And I hope, I hope he does well.

02:18:18.000 Well, he went against the gang, basically.

02:18:22.000 They're like, whoa, you're out.

02:18:24.000 How dare you try to uphold his oath to the Constitution?

02:18:26.000 Right.

02:18:27.000 Matt Diff says, a decade ago, the left was messing with chemical execution supplies to try and kill it.

02:18:32.000 States were looking for other chemical options, and the left sued, trying to stay cruel and unusual.

02:18:36.000 Interesting.

02:18:38.000 That was from Matt Diff.

02:18:41.000 Paxton 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.

02:18:50.000 Wow.

02:18:50.000 Yikes.

02:18:52.000 Eastshore says, I'm being retested now and I live with my dad.

02:18:54.000 He is positive.

02:18:56.000 I take care of him and work isn't paying.

02:18:58.000 I'm salary.

02:18:58.000 They have a manager in my place but not telling me if I can come back.

02:19:01.000 Should I file for unemployment?

02:19:04.000 I would assume so.

02:19:05.000 Right?

02:19:06.000 Yeah.

02:19:07.000 Why wouldn't you try at least?

02:19:09.000 Yeah.

02:19:09.000 Right?

02:19:10.000 Vivian says, how do you think people will react when they don't get their jobs back?

02:19:14.000 By the way, Department of Labor statistics show 22.8% unemployment when looking at the U6 and not the U3.

02:19:20.000 And there's a link.

02:19:21.000 Interesting.

02:19:22.000 Um, I think people will lose purpose and then seek to get that purpose from somewhere.

02:19:27.000 And that can get really dangerous.

02:19:28.000 I think that could lead to an escalation of conflict.

02:19:30.000 I think people have already lost their purpose.

02:19:33.000 But, like, people need it.

02:19:35.000 I know they do.

02:19:35.000 So they're gonna start getting extremely politically active.

02:19:37.000 I agree.

02:19:38.000 And that can get bad.

02:19:39.000 Or good.

02:19:41.000 I don't think it could be good.

02:19:42.000 Because there's no outlet.

02:19:43.000 If more people become politically active?

02:19:45.000 Where's their outlet right now?

02:19:48.000 Demanding a reopening?

02:19:49.000 Yeah.

02:19:49.000 That could make them way more conservative.

02:19:51.000 So, maybe that results in them reopening, I guess would be a good thing.

02:19:55.000 Featherfall 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.

02:20:04.000 They moved to cities because they refused to live in the bush. 0.61

02:20:06.000 Lubbock, Texas rep.

02:20:08.000 Actually I heard, I think I heard this from Ben Shapiro, that in Texas the Republicans are mostly from out of state.

02:20:17.000 Did you see the same thing?

02:20:17.000 No, I hadn't heard that.

02:20:19.000 Maybe I'm wrong.

02:20:20.000 Maybe I am wrong.

02:20:21.000 I don't know.

02:20:22.000 Slosher says, Tim, have you ever read Ayn Rand?

02:20:24.000 Your story about refusing to go to Black Tie event because you would have to compromise makes you sound like you're one of her characters.

02:20:30.000 Huh.

02:20:30.000 Maybe we're all in this book.

02:20:32.000 Bioshock was awesome.

02:20:33.000 Bukalik 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.

02:20:42.000 I wish.

02:20:43.000 Yeah.

02:20:45.000 BadassTutor says, Tim Pool, the most conservative non-conservative.

02:20:49.000 No, I mean, look at Adam.

02:20:51.000 You've been a bit more conservative on certain things than me.

02:20:53.000 I mean, I guess so.

02:20:54.000 Yeah.

02:20:54.000 You know, it just like everybody's got some left, some right, some more than others.

02:21:00.000 You know what I mean?

02:21:00.000 Right.

02:21:00.000 That's what I'm saying.

02:21:01.000 It's like I agree with some both sides and I disagree with mostly the left.

02:21:05.000 Alright, let's see, now where were we?

02:21:07.000 We just had that big ol' jump happen.

02:21:09.000 Oh man, another jump, huh?

02:21:10.000 Oh yeah, I love it.

02:21:11.000 It's great.

02:21:12.000 Thanks everybody, I really appreciate you guys hanging out with us.

02:21:14.000 Yeah, it's really fun.

02:21:15.000 I know, we're 20 minutes over.

02:21:17.000 Oh wow.

02:21:18.000 Oh man.

02:21:19.000 Alright, I have no idea.

02:21:21.000 Okay, okay, I went too far, okay.

02:21:23.000 Let's see, let's see, where are we?

02:21:25.000 Oh, by now I'd have a glass of whiskey, I'd be playing... No, super chats are way better.

02:21:31.000 Let's see.

02:21:31.000 Ah, here we are.

02:21:32.000 Here we are.

02:21:33.000 Andrew Nelson says, Captain, Tim Luke Picard of the starship Beanie Prize, infamous around the galaxy for his shirt-tugging.

02:21:41.000 Just like Jean-Luc.

02:21:42.000 That's great.

02:21:43.000 Let's see.

02:21:44.000 Where are we now?

02:21:46.000 St.

02:21:46.000 Miles says, Joe Max Headroom Biden.

02:21:50.000 Doctor 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.

02:21:58.000 Oh yeah, for sure.

02:21:59.000 They want to stop new accounts from starting up like that.

02:22:01.000 Jeez.

02:22:02.000 Spartacus says, thanks for all you do, Tim.

02:22:03.000 You're my Walter Cronkite.

02:22:05.000 I hope you understand how important what you do is for us in the absence of a fourth estate.

02:22:09.000 There are a lot of other people who do well, too.

02:22:11.000 I just hope more people try to do their best.

02:22:14.000 Flood says, Trump I say.

02:22:15.000 There you go, Trump I say!

02:22:18.000 Haywood says, if Neuralink makes us smarter, we will be more united because there won't be any more leftists.

02:22:24.000 Ah, that's a good one.

02:22:24.000 Zing!

02:22:26.000 Jeff Brock, thanks for the super chat.

02:22:27.000 Henrik, thanks for becoming a member.

02:22:29.000 Thank you.

02:22:29.000 Thomas Lorbiter says, I like Monster Hunter International.

02:22:33.000 Haven't played it.

02:22:34.000 Is that an anime?

02:22:35.000 I thought it was a game.

02:22:36.000 Oh yeah.

02:22:37.000 Raven, thanks for the super chat.

02:22:40.000 Azazel says, upload an Amazon Prime series is a good time.

02:22:43.000 I saw that.

02:22:44.000 I didn't know if I was going to watch it.

02:22:45.000 All Metal Mike says, where is the ACLU crickets?

02:22:48.000 Oh no.

02:22:48.000 No, they're just focused on leftist social justice stuff.

02:22:51.000 Yeah.

02:22:52.000 Austin Laverty says, who wants to go to Wuhan Wild Wings for dinner and beers when this is over?

02:22:57.000 Thank you!

02:22:57.000 One of the first places I'm going is B-dubs.

02:22:59.000 I think I'm good.

02:23:01.000 I'm straight up B-dubs.

02:23:02.000 What's B-dubs? 1.00

02:23:03.000 Buffalo Wild Wings.

02:23:04.000 Oh, okay.

02:23:05.000 Oh, man.

02:23:05.000 No, I'm going to Blackbird.

02:23:07.000 Get my own wings.

02:23:08.000 You get your wings, I'll get my wings, we'll get wings.

02:23:10.000 I love me some wings.

02:23:11.000 I love me some wings.

02:23:13.000 Did he?

02:23:13.000 Flip says the social media companies have become the meme you facetwit.

02:23:17.000 Yep.

02:23:18.000 Trouble Down says thoughts on Bezos buying AMC theaters?

02:23:22.000 I'm 100% for it.

02:23:24.000 Hope you're all staying safe.

02:23:25.000 Thank you for all you do.

02:23:26.000 I mean...

02:23:27.000 Is that a thing?

02:23:28.000 I haven't heard that.

02:23:29.000 I welcome it, but I also don't like it because Bezos has too much.

02:23:32.000 Amazon's buying too much.

02:23:33.000 It's getting too big.

02:23:35.000 They're going to overpower everything.

02:23:37.000 But I like the idea of like, man, when Bezos steps in, he really does ramp up the technology, you know, on like Whole Foods and stuff.

02:23:45.000 Yeah.

02:23:46.000 Cerilio says, y'all going to do me like that.

02:23:48.000 I don't usually catch the live show, but I greatly enjoy Tim and Adam's differing opinions.

02:23:52.000 Variety is crucial.

02:23:53.000 I completely agree.

02:23:53.000 Nice.

02:23:54.000 Absolutely.

02:23:55.000 Well, we've gone way over.

02:23:56.000 Yeah, it's funny though, we're born two days apart.

02:23:59.000 Well, I mean, I'm older than him by a few years, but your birthday is two days after mine.

02:24:04.000 Yeah.

02:24:05.000 And it's funny, we're very similar on many things, but we're very different on many things also.

02:24:11.000 That's just like normal people.

02:24:12.000 Yeah, that's true.

02:24:13.000 As simple as it gets, man.

02:24:15.000 All right, let's see what we got.

02:24:16.000 We got a couple more Super Chats we'll read to them.

02:24:18.000 Nugget says, if you love Brandon Sanderson, I recommend the lit RPG genre books like Ascend Online and Awaken Online.

02:24:26.000 The lit RPG genre is about virtual reality.

02:24:29.000 Sounds really cool.

02:24:30.000 Yeah, I'll have to check that out.

02:24:31.000 Chris Egleton says, when can we expect a Harumph t-shirt?

02:24:34.000 When the beanies come, I suppose.

02:24:35.000 We'll get on it.

02:24:37.000 Jeff Dewar says, I work at Costco and was told to go home if I didn't wear a mask.

02:24:41.000 Went home early that day.

02:24:43.000 Well, we're about ready to wrap up.

02:24:44.000 So if you haven't already, smash that like button.

02:24:47.000 Let's get 50 million likes.

02:24:48.000 Tell YouTube we are the best.

02:24:50.000 Like it.

02:25:02.000 So 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.

02:25:11.000 And I just tweeted something out, so hit me up.

02:25:14.000 Boom.

02:25:15.000 There it is.

02:25:16.000 And it is what?

02:25:17.000 It's Monday, right?
