In this episode of the TimCast, we talk about Elon Musk's take the red pill tweet, the New York Times' conspiracy theory about "Believe All Women," and a story about a woman who told Ivanka Trump to "f off."
00:01:48.000If you haven't already, you can jump in the super chat, and we will read your questions to the best of our abilities.
00:01:54.000We don't always get to everybody, so I see some people are like, hey, you didn't read my comment.
00:01:58.000Let me just tell you guys, okay, and I mean no disrespect, and I really appreciate you're all here, but Look, if we get, you know, 700 superchats, it's physically impossible for us to read them.
00:02:52.000Yeah, CNN gets to be on the front page, you know, and we don't.
00:02:59.000Well, I should say we'll appear on like front page recommendations, but they have like a dedicated section for like authoritative news that appears on the front page now or something.
00:03:18.000Because I've been seeing recommendations for more channels lately.
00:03:22.000And I think what YouTube did early on with recommending nothing but mainstream media, I kind of feel like that wasn't their long-term goal.
00:03:31.000I think it was like an emergency move.
00:03:34.000So they could be, like, to all the press and all the advertisers.
00:03:37.000They could go to advertisers and be like, oh, don't worry, look, we changed it.
00:03:39.000It only recommends mainstream news now.
00:05:20.000It's actually about the parents who are like, I have you on when my kids are in the room.
00:05:24.000And you know, I actually got an email from a couple people.
00:05:27.000And it's typically, the common idea is, you're one of the few channels that I know I can turn on while my kids are hanging out or something.
00:05:34.000And that's like really cool because we can talk politics.
00:05:36.000But a lot of other channels, they swear, they insult, they're mean.
00:05:40.000And it's like, they do have to worry about it.
00:05:43.000For us, they're like, I can just turn it on, I don't gotta worry, but for some of the other political commentators, it's like, no.
00:06:21.000I've heard there have been a bunch of channels that got cleared, and then at the last minute, purged.
00:06:29.000Like, YouTube sent them a message where it's like, congratulations, your channel is now cleared for monetization, and then a week later they're like, you've been banned from the partner program for being harmful.
00:07:22.000It's pretty crazy, people are really into it.
00:07:24.000Somebody was like, they posted this thing where they were like, after watching this video, it's all I need, you guys, you have no idea what you're talking about, you know, what do they call them, like globalists or something?
00:08:49.000You know, you know, the thing about like the science, like, I believe science crowd, and like the science is effing awesome, is that everyone just says they believe the science now.
00:08:58.000And so you'll get one side being like, you clearly don't know anything about the science because the earth is round.
00:09:02.000And then someone will be like, you didn't even do any research.
00:09:04.000You just assume it is because I've read the science and the earth is flat.
00:09:15.000There was a story that came out about a non-peer-reviewed article that just got released, I think it was from Australia, saying that COVID, they believe, was made, not an accident.
00:09:38.000And so I'll contrast that with a light self-criticism, but also differentiate a bit.
00:09:43.000When I talked about the South China University saying that they believed it leaked from a lab, that was actually in line with some of the other statements that were made by some politicians about the potential for what had happened.
00:09:53.000And because of the proximity of the bats to the city, that actually sounded like it made sense, but the study was eventually pulled.
00:09:59.000Now you've got the State Department investigating it, so that sounds like it's plausible.
00:10:02.000It's also plausible You know, uh, it's possible, I should say, I should say plausible, that it's manufactured.
00:10:09.000I mean, we also saw, I saw this video of them going into the caves and, like, straight scraping, like, poop and, like, staying in there for days and days, like, living in the caves with these cats.
00:11:39.000This right here summarizes or exemplifies the problem I have with the cultural left.
00:11:47.000And I'm sure, you know, there are probably some conservatives who do this similar behavior, but cussing at someone isn't a point about anything.
00:13:11.000She's, like, just smiling and, like, just doing... I mean, I guess people don't like that she has a clothing company or something or whatever.
00:14:30.000Grimes' mom slams daughter's partner for tweeting right-wing take-the-red-pill meme, accusing him of blaring men's rights activism BS, but he was praised by Ivanka.
00:14:42.000I don't think Elon Musk knows what the red pill means.
00:15:52.000And the Red Pill community was about, you know, like, here's what you need to do to actually understand the desires of women or something like that.
00:15:59.000I'm probably getting the general philosophy wrong.
00:16:02.000Because the media always does, for sure.
00:16:05.000I think the closest you can get to it is it's an online community of people who study various bits of evolutionary psychology as an effort for dating.
00:16:19.000And you can criticize them, you can compliment them, whatever you think.
00:17:52.000One way you could describe it is if you took both pills, they'd both be counteracting yourself, so you'd be half in and half out, so your perception would be all warped and twisted.
00:17:59.000Or nothing would happen at all, and it would just...
00:18:17.000It's basically taking both, because they're nitpicking and choosing what's perfect for their battles and then, like, ignoring other things.
00:18:25.000Where the red pill is like, I'm accepting all of the truth, and everything's being revealed.
00:18:30.000Better yet, one way you can say it, is that when they take both, the blue and the red pill, they do wake up, but their brain is still halfway attached to the fake reality, so they're in the real world saying things that make no sense, and you're like, because they have this parallel, alternate dimension in their brain where they're like, Or they're still connected to the Matrix, maybe.
00:19:03.000So now I think for the most part red pill kind of just means that it for the most part means like you understand the lies of the media and the establishment but it basically implies you're voting for Trump or like you're overtly you know on board with a Trump train or Republicans or whatever.
00:19:24.000Like a good example is how people keep saying Tim take the red pill and it's like I don't understand what that's supposed to mean in the context of me constantly telling you the media is lying to you.
00:23:36.000Oh, I can't wait to hear what they have to say about this.
00:23:38.000Wait, wait, Donald Trump tweeted a video several times now of a reporter in Long Island who was getting yelled at by Trump supporters saying you're fake news.
00:23:48.000And CNN Brian Stalter writes this article about what happened and the opening line is something like, I've written a lot about far-right radicalization, but this video, like, exemplifies it better than anything.
00:24:01.000I'm like, wait, you mean a bunch of suburban, Long Island, middle-aged individuals complaining about media lying is far-right?
00:25:06.000On Sunday afternoon, just days after the birth of his seventh child, the billionaire technology entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted to his audience of 34 million followers to take the red pill.
00:25:16.000The term is popular in internet communities such as the alt-right and the manosphere.
00:26:08.000Choosing an alternative narrative about society.
00:26:15.000Such narratives lean, in many cases, towards racism, misogyny, and other highly controversial beliefs.
00:26:21.000While this is not true of every single person who would consider themselves red-pilled, the members of pretty much every alt-right group that you might have heard of incels, neo-nazis, eco-fascists, ...will often consider themselves to have awakened in this way to their fringe theories and socially unaccepted beliefs.
00:26:38.000Awakened, literally the word woke references you and the exact same thing you're talking about.
00:26:43.000Also, alt-right groups include eco-fascists?
00:29:42.000Her capacity to normalize dangerous, offensive, and willfully perverse ideologies should not be underestimated.
00:29:50.000Simply by using their language, she takes what belongs on the murkier corners of the internet and gives it the presidential seal of approval.
00:31:01.000And Trump should get the exercise to be honest.
00:31:05.000This is the perfect example of what Trump derangement syndrome is.
00:31:09.000Like how much they hate Ivanka and she says one word and they're like they make this whole world up about what's really going on and it's like I mean you made all that up dude.
00:33:02.000And he points out that there's this resistance journalism.
00:33:06.000I think this is from a previous article he wrote.
00:33:08.000The Resistance Journalism, or maybe it's this one, where they're just conspiratorial-minded, like, they think the worst possible things, and they make things up, and it's all narrative-driven.
00:33:16.000And one of his criticisms—I could be butchering all this, so you really should just check out the article he wrote.
00:33:20.000It speaks better for itself, because if I'm getting it wrong, I mean no disrespect.
00:33:25.000But, uh, he basically says that Ronan Farrow has this desire for this cinematic quality of stories, that when you hear them, you're like, that could be a movie.
00:33:36.000So it's like the Weinstein thing, Harvey Weinstein.
00:33:38.000It's like everything is exaggerated to a great deal, to a great degree.
00:33:41.000And while the guy did do a bunch of crazy things, he even backed up one of the claims made against Matt Lauer, who got removed from his job, was not true.
00:33:49.000So he basically debunked some of these claims made by Ronan Farrow.
00:33:53.000And people actually lost their jobs for them?
00:33:56.000Yeah, but I mean, I think there's a lot about, you know, Matt Lauer and Weinstein that are confirmed, but he points out not all of it was.
00:34:04.000Like, one of the things he points out in this article is that Ronan Farrow alleges, basically, I'm saying basically because I don't, you know, I want to make sure the context could be opinion, but Hillary Clinton was intervening to stop his story on Harvey Weinstein.
00:34:23.000The seedy establishment elite protecting her friend.
00:34:27.000And what Ben Smith uncovered was actually, I guess a lawyer for Hillary Clinton, like her companies or whatever, contacted Ronan Farrow not to pressure him to stop, to confirm if the story was real so they wouldn't do business with Weinstein.
00:34:42.000Basically, I guess Ben verified some text messages where the guy said,
00:34:47.000if this stuff he's saying about Harvey is true, we don't want to do business with him.
00:34:50.000So he called and said, can you confirm this? What did Ronan Farrow write?
00:34:54.000He called me saying he was concerned about this, clearly in an attempt to pressure me into backing off the story.
00:34:59.000So anyway, I bring this up because this is basically what they've done,
00:35:02.000and what the story about Ivanka Trump and the red pill is.
00:35:09.000They get the story in their mind and then they're like, ooh, I really want to write a story about a president's daughter who's a racist eco-fascist.
00:35:16.000Ooh, here's Ivanka, and she said the word taken?
00:35:34.000So I'm working for them, and I'm sitting in the office in New York.
00:35:38.000I'm doing my thing, because I do video, documentary, and stuff, and I hear them doing their morning news briefing, and this one dude's like, I got a crazy story.
00:35:47.000Apparently, on Imgur, the website, I-M-G-U-R, there's like tens of thousands of uploads of this picture of the Monopoly man, and he's got puppet strings, and it's like Facebook, and Google, and Twitter, and no one knows why all of these uploads, all of these different links, Someone's uploading all these photos.
00:36:36.000And I told them and they were like, well, you know, we'll look into it.
00:36:40.000I was told that at that company, they would often change articles without notice, without editing histories, without notifications, stealth editing articles, and they didn't want to say anything because they didn't want to call anyone else out because they would get called out too.
00:37:08.000I gotta say though, SJW AI sounds scary, man.
00:37:11.000I wonder if someone- I hope it's not true.
00:37:13.000I don't think it would be that difficult to make, an AI where you could like, load up a website, and then it's like, give us a name of someone, and we'll write some, you know, the AI will automatically generate like, calling them a bigot.
00:37:24.000That's what this article feels like, that it was auto-generated.
00:38:20.000And I don't know, like, you know, I don't want to say that the Trump campaign did all of it on purpose, like the outcome was just a perfect storm in some regard, but it really was a smart campaign.
00:39:11.000Ezra Klein was like, if you would have told me that Trump was going to launch a campaign called Truth Over Facts, I would have said, you know, that was unreasonable and unsubstantiated, but here we are.
00:40:05.000There was the thing on stage where he turned around and put his back to the camera, and people thought he was lost, but I think he was fixing his teeth.
00:42:29.000And I was talking about this, I don't know if I was talking about this on the last show or whatever, how, you know, one thing that I'm going to start doing soon is like a news aggregator slash fact checker.
00:42:38.000So you have a lot of these fact checking websites where it's like you can't really navigate it.
00:42:54.000And then when you go into it, it shows you sources, edit history, it shows you all these other sites and what the mainstream media is saying to give you an actual understanding of what's happening.
00:43:02.000I actually think there's been a few chat comments randomly that I've caught.
00:43:42.000And then we'll show the edit history and we'll explain like, here's what happened.
00:43:47.000But also, there will be, like, an analysis, like, in the Truth Over Fact story, journalists were clueless as to what really happened, and it'll be something to that effect.
00:43:55.000But the point that I'm bringing up, and why I think this is crazy, why do we need that website?
00:44:01.000We can't even trust the news articles the news companies write because they don't fact check any of it.
00:44:30.000I was at Politicon a couple years ago, and there was a panel with the guy from Media Matters, David Pakman was on it, a couple other people, I don't remember who, Loren Chen, I think.
00:44:40.000And we all asked, it was a Q&A session, and I went up and asked, how are we supposed to trust these outlets when they don't even have fact-checkers anymore?
00:44:48.000They've fired them all and they don't do it.
00:44:50.000And I got a really awful response, but it was funny because it was supposed to be like a fake news panel or something, and they're like, well, you know, the job of the journalist as they're writing is to fact-check the news.
00:44:58.000And I'm like, man, you guys have no idea what you're talking about.
00:45:03.000Fact-checkers are independent for a reason.
00:45:06.000So that when a journalist writes the story, someone from a different department on a different floor makes several phone calls and says is what they're claiming true.
00:45:14.000That way, if you have one person who's in charge of their own fact-checking, they're gonna just lie.
00:47:51.000You do a ridiculous picture, you fit the narrative, they're clever about it, but you'll get all these hits, you sell all these ads, you make all this money, and then the next day you say, oopsie.
00:48:47.000So I have a Google Alert set up for various things, including myself.
00:48:54.000And I get notifications when people write stories about me.
00:48:57.000One of them was a journalistic advisory website, and it was written by this left-wing activist posing as a journalist who tried to get the Proud Boys banned from their banking institution.
00:49:08.000Successfully, actually, did get the Proud Boys banned.
00:49:10.000She had sent an email to Chase Bank saying something to the effect of like, why are you providing support for these groups or something?
00:49:16.000It's like, providing support is such an awful way to phrase someone opened a bank account at one of your branches.
00:49:37.000So she writes, and she writes, you know, like, how to deal with hate speech in this thing, and then she says, let me give you an example from my own history, when, you know, far-right-adjacent blogger Tim Poole, a popular YouTuber, you know, published an email of mine, blah blah blah, and I'm like, what does far-right-adjacent mean?
00:51:38.000And it's responsible for a lot of deaths every year.
00:51:41.000They actually find it in cancer cells.
00:51:43.000And then once people are all freaked out, you just say, like, you know, this is a very serious problem.
00:51:48.000I could have written all that down as fact, but then when I tell you that it means water, hydroxic acid means water, it's the same thing as the dihydrogen monoxide hoax, but I just... Hydric acid sounds crazier in my opinion.
00:52:47.000So I was an acting crew chief, which meant that periodically I would be in charge of whole teams.
00:52:52.000But, you know, it's like a mix, it's like you're not quite a crew chief where you're in charge, but you're, you're one step up from a regular crew member.
00:52:58.000And there would be people who would come out in big vehicles and pull out a hose, hook it into the plane and pump in hydroxic acid into these planes.
00:53:05.000Now this is a chemical, it's serious, right?
00:53:34.000And so let me tell you though, I know this for a fact.
00:53:37.000When you see those planes flying, when you see a plane flying and you see that vapor trail coming up, that is vaporized hydroxic acid coming out the back of that plane.
00:54:44.000I framed it in a way that made it scary as possible, but I left gaps in to make you assume the worst, that they were doing it for nefarious reasons.
00:54:50.000I started the story by saying, people believe they do these things for nefarious means, to start the story off on some scary way.
00:55:00.000I watched them do it, and I don't know what they were doing or why But that stuff can be dangerous, and then the average person walks away saying whoa, dude That's framing.
00:56:16.000With no context and everyone's like what is he talking about?
00:56:20.000That's ridiculous now now hold on hmm to Biden's credit truth truth over facts Does mean a lot yeah, okay?
00:56:29.000It means that you want to really give someone an objective reasonable understanding regardless of the individual facts that can be falsely misrepresenting okay to give someone a you know, so This is why I was talking about the need for like an independent aggregator and fact checker.
00:59:06.000I got an email because I used to go to the Trump rallies to cover the 2016, 2015, 2016 campaign season, and the emails I've gotten have been like, you know, how would you rate Trump's job performance?
00:59:20.000Yeah, I'm like, what's the point of this?
00:59:23.000That you make people have to go out of their way to say they don't like it?
00:59:25.000It could be anchoring, make someone click, he's doing a good job, and then they'll affirm it, like, well, I think he's doing a good job, that could be it, maybe, I don't know.
00:59:34.000Or it's just Trump, you know, I'm the best, you know, it's always great, you know, whatever.
01:00:13.000But the people on the left are only following their own circles.
01:00:18.000So that breeds, like, stupidity almost, you know?
01:00:22.000I can't think of a better word, but that's basically what I'm seeing.
01:00:25.000It's like they didn't even watch the video.
01:00:28.000rational person they'll laugh and be like what is this? You look down it says
01:00:31.000paid for by Trump you're like what if they're making fun of Biden?
01:00:36.000It's like they didn't even watch the video like what?
01:00:38.000Well there's something that happens when you when you're talking to someone with
01:00:40.000an opposing view that might be actually the correct view And you think something else and you, you have a debate and then you change your mind and then, Oh, okay.
01:00:59.000They're just a ball of emotions and feelings.
01:01:02.000They don't care to hear about facts or whatever anyone else is saying because it's triggering them at a raw level.
01:01:11.000Logic gets thrown out the window because it's all emotions at that point.
01:01:14.000So I have this article from The Wrap and one of the things they bring up, it's hilarious because they clearly have no idea what they're talking about.
01:01:20.000They say truth over facts branding is in line with messaging from Trump.
01:01:23.000Kellyanne Conway invented the term alternative facts.
01:02:32.000Everything they have, like the whole Ivanka thing, it's like, oh, semantics, so now we can run with it and throw everything we can into it because they crossed what we believe.
01:02:47.000It's almost like the left is emotional, so they're easily shepherded by people who are waiting for any opportunity to falsely, like, to create that lie, give them an opportunity.
01:03:00.000Like when Donald Trump said, I don't know if we've talked about this, but during the 2016 election, he said Hillary Clinton acid-washed her server.
01:03:52.000I wonder if that's actually not correlation but causation, that because liberals only read liberal news, they're liberal.
01:04:01.000If a person reads mostly liberal stuff but some conservative, they'll be moderate.
01:04:05.000If a person only reads conservative, they'll be conservative.
01:04:08.000Or even if they read mostly conservative, and if a person reads only liberal, they'll be liberal.
01:04:13.000It's really funny, then, that you actually have conservative and moderates mostly, you know, agreeing and disagreeing on some policy issues, but, like, getting along.
01:04:31.000You've got a lot of people who were formerly Democrats now leaving, joining the Republicans, voting for Trump, or just leaving the Democratic Party.
01:04:38.000Over time, it's like, it's like watching, you ever see one of those Plinko things?
01:04:43.000You know, you know Plinko is from... Oh, of course, yeah.
01:04:45.000Yeah, it's a, it's a, the price is right where all the little pegs are and then you drop the thing and it bounces around.
01:04:50.000And if you drop them evenly, they start distributing in different ways.
01:04:53.000It feels like there are some, you know, some people who are really dumb and some people who are, you know, moderately smart or inquisitive at the very least, and so when you drop them into this machine where the left is fake news that any reasonable person will question, and the right has a bunch of, you know, hyperbolic conservative opinion, you end up with a bunch of people saying, that's a lie, that's their opinion i'm okay with their opinion i disagree
01:05:20.000i'll go read this and then you have the dump people being like dirt that's
01:07:01.000The dumb people go on Twitter, and they wiggle their arms and they're going, blublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublublubl And then people like me, and like you, and like Lydia, and the walk-away people are like, no!
01:11:03.000We end up with hundreds of Super Chats, and it would be physically impossible to actually read them all, so we try our best to read as many as we can, and then if it goes too long, we just start, you know, speeding up.
01:11:11.000But also, if you haven't, hit that like button.
01:12:58.000How did it was like gain that ability?
01:13:00.000It wasn't always true, but over time I just kinda.
01:13:05.000I have a lot of friends that I've learned this mantra from, and their mentality of live in the now, live for yourself, and do your own research.
01:13:15.000And it's just kind of like, there's a-holes everywhere, I can't say the actual word, but they're out there.
01:14:42.000I think it relates to also, we're kind of lacking a purpose, humans in general.
01:14:48.000I mean, you know, we're kind of drones now, living lives, not really, there's not like one huge communal thing that we're working towards as a group, a community.
01:14:57.000So this online connectivity that we have now, It almost feels like we're part of it, but then it's like public shaming that we're not asking for.
01:15:07.000It's like, oh, I'm being publicly shamed.
01:15:14.000There's these, you got to just remember, like we just said, there will always be people that want to shame people that are shamed and are affected by it.
01:15:22.000So the more you're affected by it, the more you're going to be targeted also.
01:15:26.000So you got to remember, just block it out.
01:15:31.000One of the things that whenever some lefties will tweet, and this is what really bothers me about the cultural left, they're not arguing, they're just insulting.
01:15:38.000So that's one of the reasons why I think they're grifting and they're not legit, but I'll tweet and someone will say something like, Pim Tool, and I'm like, listen, listen, it doesn't mean anything.
01:15:51.000I don't know what I'm supposed to feel from it.
01:15:54.000Is it supposed to be like a dig or something?
01:16:27.000You know, when it comes to the cultural right on Twitter, I see a lot of stupid things, but mostly it's like making points.
01:16:34.000It's kind of like we were saying before about like the right will love bomb you, and the left will attack you.
01:16:39.000When I see what the left, the cultural left, is posting on Twitter, it's like replying to Trump complaining, calling him stupid, calling him ridiculous.
01:16:48.000And then the comments are all like, what a moron, what an idiot.
01:16:51.000And then when I reply, they'll say, you're stupid, you're bald, you're a moron, pimp tool, and I'm like, I don't even know what that is.
01:18:48.000Anything after our episode, whatever anyone is saying about him calling us out, it's irrelevant because we didn't say that.
01:18:56.000He said that we should all be out and about.
01:18:58.000We used his phrase of using this, getting vitamin D from the sun, that we were like, yeah, see, this doctor said we're getting vitamin D. We should go out.
01:19:08.000The point I'm making is I don't even know why that's relevant at all.
01:19:10.000For all I know, Bret Weinstein said Tim's awesome.
01:19:50.000That's why I'm like, he's a cool dude.
01:19:53.000And Brett, if you end up hearing this and you are upset with our characterization of you, feel free to reach out and we'll correct the record.
01:19:59.000That's why I'm like, calling you out, calling you out.
01:21:01.000Kyle Miller says, these governors are in for a rude awakening when people vote them out due to them trying to enforce their unlawful lockdown measures.
01:21:10.000Whitmer, I can't imagine she gets reelected after this.
01:21:13.000My favorite thing is Lydia posted on one of, some Twitter comment, and it was, uh, the, the scene from the, I forget what movie it, uh, the, That was actually the first movie that ever scared me.
01:22:38.000STEVEN Graffon Tyrell says, The House is still obsessed with investigating Trump with intent to impeach and still believing there's something Mueller had to hide after all this time and attempts falling flat.
01:23:10.000Joining is, we used to have it, like we would post for members, the stream, but now we just post for everybody because we put it up on iTunes and stuff.
01:23:18.000So if you'd like to and to be a member, you can go to youtube.com slash Timcast IRL slash join, and that should work.
01:23:24.000I don't know why it's not appearing on the page.
01:23:27.000Benito says, YouTube waited for the checks to cash.
01:25:27.000It's funny because when I pointed out that it was like, that the Truth Over Facts campaign was genius, I got all these angry leftists like, Tim just likes Trump, and I'm like, if you can't accept that he just ran circles around you, you won't win!
01:26:12.000But it's interesting to say, like, that I'm wrong about a case where I said we don't know the details and everyone should stop jumping the gun.
01:26:18.000It's like, are you arguing that we do know the details?
01:26:55.000Unless, of course, the Court of Public Opinion forces it, which is possible.
01:26:59.000But if they were told by the cops to go help, and the guy was given the phone number, I mean, they're gonna argue to the court, well, the local police said they were trespassing, and then, you know, we were told if we see the guy or something.
01:28:46.000I'm 100% more likely to invest in or buy Tesla since he proved you can be pro-freedom, liberty, science, and environment while running a business and making a profit.
01:28:55.000The best red pill comes in musk flavor.
01:30:26.000He's a lot older than I am, but it was funny, when I went on his show, we were talking and somehow it came up, and I was like, yeah, I'm from Chicago, and he's like, oh yeah, where at?
01:30:33.000And I'm like, Midway Area, and he goes, Where at?
01:33:19.000And then what happens is, because the left sees all these articles, they look at my content like, Tim is lying and he's just pandering to the right, and I'm like, I was correct though.
01:33:30.000So we'll see if the red wave happens, because I'm, look, I don't think I'm always right, I don't think I know the future, and I said, we might not see a red wave.
01:33:40.000Yeah, I was wrong in 2018, but here's why I think we might actually see it this time.
01:33:45.000And then what happened in Wisconsin and California, 538 was wrong, I was right.
01:33:50.000Why doesn't Politico, why doesn't NPR, why doesn't USA Today write these articles saying, because of those victories, we now see this, you know, Republicans are gonna win?
01:33:58.000It's like the narrative just disappears.
01:35:53.000The Red Pill is overall manosphere stuff.
01:35:55.000The movie by that name is about men's rights, fathers' rights, and male victims of domestic violence.
01:36:00.000Pickup artists are part, but not the whole.
01:36:03.000Lieutenant Dan says, in Washington, some sue-happy Karen got the court to petition to recall a sheriff for upholding the Constitution and not arresting people for going out.
01:37:16.000But perhaps there's an argument that giving any of them support just reinforces all of them.
01:37:21.000And so what I've come to realize is that even if you find a good Democrat and support them, they're just going to fall in line behind Nancy Pelosi and try and impeach Trump.
01:39:11.000But if we only operate on emotion, then we die.
01:39:14.000We fall apart and then it's suffering.
01:39:17.000Bloody Bleeder says, Tim, take the red pill equals recognize that there is a connection between Politico A, Jerno B, Professor C, and Deep Stater DEFGH.
01:39:27.000Dominic says, what the red pill means to me, at least, is that you are rejecting NPC culture.
01:39:32.000You won't let the machine control you.
01:45:50.000But basically, if you really wanted to, you could take off all your clothes and run around the street hooting and screaming just for no reason of sound insane mind.
01:52:02.000Vood says, if cops asking them to do so is true, that could possibly make them state actors, granting them substantial immunities and protections.
01:52:09.000That's in reference to the Ahmaud Arbery case, when the cops actually enlisted the Arberys.
01:52:15.000Andrew says, hearing that Senate Judiciary Committee will be voting on Obama and officials' subpoena.
01:52:35.000Alright, we definitely have to speed things up because we're gonna go over and we've got one more segment, so I apologize if I don't see your Super Chat.
01:54:07.000But I think maybe it's that we read his one tweet and the idea was something we had based on a bunch of other information, but his tweet kind of exemplified our idea.
01:58:03.000What we are witnessing is another instance of the right decrying what it imagines the American women's movement to be.
01:58:09.000Spend some mind-numbing hours tracking the origins of Believe All Women on social media sites and news databases, as I did, and you'll discover how language, like a virus, can mutate overnight.
01:58:19.000All of a sudden, yesterday's quotes suffer the insertion of some foreign DNA that makes them easy to weaponize.
01:58:26.000In this case, the foreign intrusion is the word... All.
01:59:11.000Let's see, it was all the rage during the Kavanaugh hearings when Senators Kamala Harris to Mazie Hirano had their regard for Dr. Blasey's credibility elevated by Fox News pundits to universal gender credulity.
01:59:22.000Their actual words, I believe her, became believe all women.
02:00:07.000Gaslighting is a psychological tactic where they sow seeds of doubt covertly in a targeted individual, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment.
02:00:25.000I was like, nah, I remember people saying Believe All Women, so I looked it up, and sure enough, this claim, fact check, false.
02:00:32.000The Me Too, at the bare minimum, if you want to argue about the origins of Believe All Women, Where this, this, this is a lady, right, who's writing this story?
02:01:29.000Pablo Morales-Henry, digital archivist at Harvard University's Schlesinger Library, which maintains a collection of more than 30 million MeToo-related tweets, told me.
02:01:37.000Nevertheless, let's take the Ortega's challenge.
02:01:40.000As she noted, Twitter is a search function that, while hardly great, does at least crudely reflect the site's use, especially by its most popular users, who are most likely to spread a hashtag far and wide.
02:01:51.000For instance, type in Black Lives Matter, make America great again, And you get bottomless well of references.
02:01:57.000Type in Believe All Women for 2017, when the MeToo movement took off in October, and you get several dozen references, followed in 2018, the year of the Kavanaugh hearings, by many more.
02:02:08.000I've found that the hashtag is by a wide margin used mostly by its detractors.
02:02:14.000Except, the MeToo movement started around October 2017.
02:02:18.000In about four months, five months, NPR, the National Post, and many other outlets were saying, quote, So what's your point?
02:02:29.000Detractors started hearing that and started criticizing it, and many people criticized it?
02:02:33.000It sounds like your only argument is that you were wrong!
02:02:36.000Not that that's not what the feminists were actually saying.
02:02:39.000Simply because you were being criticized by people for saying believable women doesn't mean that the right invented it.
02:02:46.000It seems that BelievaWomen first appeared on Twitter in late 2014 in three tweets.
02:02:51.000By an Ontario midwife, a Toronto educator, and lifelong learner, and Jenna and Kayla, twins from Ottawa, who plan events in their spare time, combined following fewer than 4,000 followers.
02:03:01.000Then in the fall of 2015... Then in the fall?
02:03:32.000Where is the believeallwomen crowd on this?
02:03:34.000Believeallwomen unless the case damages the leftist narrative, blah blah blah.
02:03:37.000As it happens, the canard blown into the bonfire by the right became accepted truth in mainstream media from NPR to the New York Times to the Globe and Mail in Canada, with pronouncements characterizing believable women as the rallying cry of the MeToo movement, the order of the day, and a formula for miscarriage of justice, if ever there was one.
02:03:54.000But hold on, didn't she earlier just say it was all the rage during Kavanaugh?
02:03:59.000Is she trying to convince us that this is the alt-right thing?
02:04:34.000That means the left championed a movement that was created in jest to criticize them and they didn't realize it and started running around screaming something that was created to mock them.
02:05:56.000So perhaps it's fair to say, and this is during the Kavanaugh, that believe women was and believe all women was, you know, maybe a combination.
02:06:07.000But it is true that protesters had been saying, believe all survivors, we believe all women.
02:06:12.000I suppose it's possible that the left is so unable to understand their own causes, when conservatives criticized them, they assumed that was their actual cause and then championed it, and went out protesting, saying we believe all survivors.
02:06:26.000That's not a good narrative to entertain.
02:06:43.000If the argument is that one guy said, believe all women, question mark, question mark, and that sparked the hashtag, believe all women, for which the left picked up and used, no one set a trap.
02:06:53.000They were criticizing you, and you didn't realize it.
02:07:27.000Even, even, you know what, I'll be fair and say, you know, my initial assumption was that Believe All Women was sparked by, actually, does she mention, she says, three years ago, was it, let's see, where is it, here we go, 2014, three tweets, did they actually, they did, okay, Believe All Women, it was not started by the right, she actually admits it.
02:07:50.000It was originally started by some small Twitter accounts, and she tries downplaying their following to make it seem like it wasn't made by them.
02:08:28.000But it is just one opinion piece by one person, so fine.
02:08:31.000I think this is just... It's not indicative or representative of anything other than this one person's desperate attempt to blame the right for something they didn't do.
02:08:58.000So I think that her showing us that she thinks that we're all super freaking forgetful and stupid is really illuminating because that's what they think of us all the time.
02:09:55.000And then he has the arduous task of going through it and people sending him pictures of dogs and cats but then finding that diamond in the rough.
02:11:41.000I believe in God, but the challenge with explaining to someone the belief in God is that most people's understanding of God is really, really rudimentary, and you either have this like You know, what do people do, like, family guy?
02:11:57.000Like, God is a guy with a white beard.
02:11:59.000It's like, that is absolutely not what I think, not what I feel, not what I believe.
02:12:03.000But when you try and explain people about God, they just assume a theistic religion, or they assume some, like, anthropomorphized version of what God is.
02:12:14.000The easy way to explain it is I do not believe in theistic religions, books, Bibles, anything like that.
02:12:18.000But I do believe that there is something more powerful and greater that is, in a sense, There it is.
02:12:25.000But for for existence, but I say that with a but we are much too feeble-minded to comprehend beyond what our
02:12:34.000existence is So I certainly think there is something above and beyond us
02:12:37.000We can experience or understand that is responsible for what we do and you know all that stuff
02:12:42.000It's much much more complicated than that and it would take a very very long time to explain there it is
02:12:48.000It is in fact complicated. No, it's beyond complicated Yeah, it's way harder.
02:12:53.000It is literally trying to take a gigantic ball of, like, this massive sphere, and then, like, imagine you have, like, eight miles of yarn, and you can pull out the yarn very slowly to give to somebody.
02:13:05.000It would take forever for them to get the full thing.
02:14:04.000Tibby Fair says the real story is that there was no unmasking request on December 29th, the day of the Flynn phone call to the Russian ambassador.
02:14:35.000Mr. Schwagon says, If a doctor has to carry malpractice insurance for saving lives, why don't police have to carry malpractice of justice insurance?
02:14:43.000This way the taxpayers no longer pay for bad apples, and the private market weeds them out quickly.
02:16:23.000And that has happened a couple times already.
02:16:25.000And it's the greatest thing when I can be like, Adam's got 800 stories from all the people who recommended stuff and I'm like, cool, I thought these are cool ideas.
02:16:32.000It also helps us get away from a lot of the, like, really boring, like, headline news we avoid.
02:16:40.000The Elon Musk thing was a big story, but it was fun.
