In this episode, we discuss the removal of George Washington s statue in New York City, the new music video for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and how the millennial generation is a bunch of whiny, pathetic losers.
00:00:37.000They probably have the rights for it still.
00:00:39.000For those that aren't familiar, Tony Hawk is doing a remaster of the game.
00:00:43.000It's gonna be, I pre-ordered it, I'm excited for it, but then I was just like, we're singing the song, and I'm like, yeah, that song's actually really bad, you know what, I don't wanna sing those lyrics anymore, man.
00:07:07.000One of the funniest things was that, I'm pretty sure it was Gen Z saying this a few years ago, like these younger kids pointing out, that all of these protests, these people were making Harry Potter protest signs.
00:07:17.000They were saying things like Trump is Voldemort.
00:08:45.000Yeah, like there was one a while ago and I thought it was hilarious because they gave someone like pancakes with syrup, but it was served on a piece of wood.
00:08:52.000So the syrup is pouring off onto the table.
00:08:55.000And they're like, there's a reason plates are kind of, you know, concave.
00:11:07.000The people that I know who were on the internet very early are all about the spicy memes.
00:11:12.000They're all about pranks and silliness and just jokes.
00:11:16.000And the people I know who weren't because they were like, their parents made them go to soccer practice or whatever.
00:11:20.000And they were like growing up in the suburbs too, like, you know, they weren't online.
00:11:24.000So when they finally got online, they were just like, it was like being injected straight into their veins and they had no tolerance for it.
00:11:31.000Well, the difference is, like, when you get made fun of in school, you know, there's, like, a social aspect that you're used to in reality, like, not in the internet world, in the internet realm.
00:11:43.000You know, you can feel the nuance of everything.
00:11:46.000You could talk about it with your friends, because they saw it, and they're like, oh, man, don't worry, that guy was an a-hole.
00:11:52.000But on the internet, you're on your own.
00:11:54.000You're paddling in this huge ocean of nothingness, and it's like, If that's all you know, and you haven't gotten thick skin from some real reality interactions with bullies, because they're out there.
00:12:26.000So there's two big ideas that are kind of bubbling up right now about what's wrong with these millennials and what's going on with social media.
00:12:33.000Brett Weinstein talked about this on Twitter and then on the Joe Rogan podcast that the Chinese interrogation techniques to break an American soldier was really, really brilliant.
00:12:42.000They used really low-level incremental tactics.
00:12:46.000The general idea being Get someone to admit in writing, they have to write it themselves, something seemingly innocuous that's negative about their position.
00:12:56.000So the first thing the Chinese would do would say, they would say, okay, if you want food, we want you to write, America is not perfect.
00:13:03.000And everyone would be like, of course it's not.
00:13:05.000That's reasonable, okay, and they'd write it.
00:13:07.000And then from there, you can increment them slowly into writing more and more bad things.
00:13:12.000Now what they would do is they would give them a very tiny reward.
00:13:14.000The reason was, if they gave them a really big reward, like a big meal, then the person could rationalize it, I lied in order to get a big reward.
00:13:23.000Giving them a small reward, the person could write something bad about the United States, and they couldn't justify it because the reward wasn't really worth it, but they did want that little piece of fruit or something, right?
00:13:48.000These people keep one-upping themselves, writing crazier and crazier things, thinking it's reasonable, because they're getting a tiny reward.
00:15:10.000But here's what they ended up saying in this thread that I was sent.
00:15:14.000When these people, these millennial social justice types, open up their phone to get that hit of dopamine, they need to put out a tweet that's going to give them those clicks, that attention, those likes.
00:15:34.000Two, they're building their addiction.
00:15:37.000And so the delirium idea is going around.
00:15:41.000I don't call it a theory because I don't know if these people are doctors, is that when you're on stimulants nonstop, it really fries your brain and builds up aggression and intolerance.
00:15:53.000Well, yeah, there's literally a tolerance to any kind of drug.
00:15:57.000I think you can have dopamine exhaustion, like you can just get too much and then you're like completely like numb to it.
00:16:03.000So I wonder if that's part of what's happening.
00:16:05.000Well, what they were saying is that basically it's a psychosis.
00:16:08.000When you do stimulants too often all the time, and you get so much dopamine released, you start going insane.
00:16:15.000Well, then you think about the average diet, you know?
00:16:19.000Like, how much sugar the average, you know, person consumes.
00:16:55.000So they did a search for the shirt, found out that it was fairly unique, found a review on the seller with this person's name, then they tracked the person, found photos, eventually found a photo with the tattoo, and they're like, boom, we got her.
00:17:09.000What's amazing about that is that I am unimpressed with the FBI's ability to do that, because I've been doing that since the inception of the internet.
00:18:36.000There was one time where this one guy, we're sitting at a party, And he's talking to a bunch of people, and he points over to a man and a woman, and then he started predicting everything they would do.
00:19:36.000It would show a picture of a regular person, and then it would show them after they were drug addled and messed up and their teeth are gone.
00:19:44.000So, people started making memes where it was like, feminism, not even once.
00:19:47.000And it shows these people before they go to college, and afterwards, and it is terrifying.
00:19:55.000Where they're like, smiling and normal and wearing regular clothes like this, and the next one is their heads are all shaved and they're like, snarling at the camera, like weird, freaky people.
00:20:04.000Golems yeah, and so you have this this woman with the firebomb.
00:20:07.000It's so sad because it's it's I've seen so much of this The the photo they found of her was a normal young woman and the pictures of her in Philadelphia was nightmarish Wow really nappy like smashed dreads Like huge belly and just like hunched over yet.
00:20:24.000No dude like 30 or 40 pounds heavier You're being nice And I was like, I'm not saying this to be mean to her, but this looks like a before and after of a drug addict.
00:20:37.000And the crazy thing is a lot of these people are, but a lot of them aren't.
00:20:41.000It's something happening to them that's transforming their brains into like, it's withering their brain.
00:20:47.000I don't think it's just The social justice at the university is like they're being indoctrinated.
00:20:53.000I think that plays a role in making them, in radicalizing them.
00:20:56.000But I think it has a lot to do with their addiction to social media.
00:21:00.000It's almost like... And probably other things.
00:21:02.000Someone in the chat just said, it's probably Adderall too.
00:21:08.000I know a lot of people that went to college that they're like, I would not have made it through all the studying, staying up all night without whatever they were on.
00:21:16.000But I'll tell you what, man, the people I know... So I used to hang out at the Columbia dorms in Chicago, and I knew a lot of regular people.
00:21:24.000A lot of them today have gone insane, and are like drug-addled and all that stuff.
00:21:29.000And it was because they were taking Adderall, for sure.
00:21:34.000But it was because they wanted to do it all.
00:21:36.000They wanted to go out and party, and do their homework, instead of being like, I can't go out today guys, I gotta do my homework.
00:21:41.000They'd be like, I'll go out, I'll just take a pill.
00:21:43.000And then they'd be like, you know what man, it's probably a bit esoteric, but for those of you that are fans of World of Warcraft, it reminds me of the Nightborne elves.
00:21:52.000Their story is that they became addicted to a magic well.
00:21:56.000And then when the magic's like, long story short, when the magic was taken from them, a bunch of them slowly started to wither and become mindless, like shriveled up and like run around like just brain dead zombies.
00:22:07.000Yeah, but it's the same thing for the blood elves too.
00:22:11.000That's just a basic idea about drug addiction and withdrawal.
00:22:14.000These people have been addicted to the stimulant of social media.
00:22:21.000I was working on an app with a buddy of mine years ago.
00:22:26.000The idea for the app was whenever you check your time on your phone, whenever you click it to see what time it is, you would be served a news story.
00:22:34.000And so, it was a news delivery app for your lock screen.
00:24:00.000You gotta one-up yourself over and over and over again.
00:24:02.000And now they're at the point of complete absurdity.
00:24:05.000Nothing makes sense, everything's breaking down.
00:24:06.000You got politicians who are listening to this.
00:24:08.000Could you imagine if your politicians were like, I hear what you're saying, homeowner and entrepreneur, but I'm gonna take the advice from that drug addict.
00:24:16.000You'd be like, but that person is unwell.
00:24:20.000So now you've got 70, it's 2% of the population that are active on Twitter.
00:26:59.000But they laid the groundwork for something important that helped get rid of this.
00:27:02.000And then there were a bunch of really famous abolitionists who used that framework to win and justify their positions.
00:27:09.000But the issue here with George Washington being toppled over is that I think With this addiction, we've... I think it was Jordan Peterson who pointed this out.
00:27:43.000And I'm like, what has Trump gotten done?
00:27:46.000Barack Obama created DACA under executive order, and then Trump tried repealing it under executive order, and they said he can't do it, it's illegal.
00:28:28.000Because they're addicts, and they're like, whatever you say, it's like they're taking their cues from drug-addled maniacs who are scratching their faces off.
00:28:38.000So this is where it gets even crazier.
00:28:46.000We can say, okay, okay, the kids are playing a dumb game, they're addicted, they're on social media, but it really does reach that crazy point right here.
00:28:54.000NY City Council members call for Thomas Jefferson's statue to be removed from City Hall.
00:29:04.000Based on the conversation, so for those that may be just popping into this segment, the gist of it was that people use their phones way too much, creating an addiction, and they constantly have to tweet things to one-up themselves to satisfy that addiction, so their rhetoric gets more and more extreme until they're tearing down statues and screaming for revolution.
00:29:30.000But look, they have the gist of this mental addiction and how it's withering away their brains and their prefrontal cortex.
00:29:37.000Could you imagine if we created a government where one party was just completely meth-addled and one party was just like regular working class people?
00:29:46.000You'd have a bunch of drug-addled people being like, I don't know, I think we gotta raise taxes, because I need meth, you know what I'm saying?
00:29:52.000We shouldn't knock down the statues, we should melt them down and sell it, because I need meth.
00:29:56.000You'd be like, dude, those things won't help us, that's destroying our country.
00:29:59.000But you have a large portion of people all scratching and demanding drugs.
00:30:04.000They would be going and taking the lobbying money, like, oh yeah, well, I'm fighting for this, I'm fighting for this, but because I just got paid from this person who is paying me a lot of money, To fight for what they want.
00:30:17.000And then you have the, like, you'd have, like, Nancy Pelosi, and she'd walk into a room and be like, well, you know, the young people really like meth, so we're gonna get on our knees and, you know, inject it straight up, like, just do whatever the young people want.
00:30:30.000Well, I guess if they're doing it, we should do it, too.
00:30:36.000And then they start compromising, where Joe Biden's like, you know, the thing with, you know, meth is that, you know, I'll do a little bit, but not too much.
00:30:45.000That's literally what's happening with Biden.
00:30:48.000The compromising with, you know, like for the Democrats to compromise with what these activists represent would be straight up like them saying, okay, we'll take a little bit of your addiction.
00:30:59.000Like you're unwell, you're completely ignorant to history, and you're violent.
00:31:05.000Yeah, you know what, we'll incorporate a little bit of that into our party.
00:31:10.000Now the Republicans are just standing there.
00:31:30.000They're seeing these people that are tweeting at them and they're getting the addiction also from these crazy people that are like propping them up like, wow, you're our champion.
00:31:40.000Except social media bans the ones who get too addicted.
00:31:44.000The conservatives who go too far in their addiction get banned.
00:31:53.000So what's happening in the Republican Party is they're kind of just standing around with their thumbs up their bum like they've always been doing.
00:31:59.000I've never had any, you know, I've never cared much for the Republican Party.
00:32:03.000They have not been involved, that group, you know, in a city that was run by Democrats.
00:34:32.000I'm not saying he didn't deserve to win.
00:34:33.000I'm saying that by all statistics and the will of the people, he shouldn't have, except for the fact that social media allows lunatics on the left to get away with whatever they want.
00:34:42.000So regular people were turned off and it gave Trump the little tiny boost he needed.
00:34:47.000Cause he did win by a decent electoral margin, but there were many states where he won by only a few thousand votes, maybe like seven to 10,000 votes.
00:34:55.000You get enough people who are on social media or are seeing this stuff and they're just like, these people are insane.
00:37:51.000Yeah, it's a shopping center with just like a small body of water full of trash.
00:37:57.000And somebody found a way to mount a Trump sign in the middle of that thing.
00:38:02.000So yeah, I'm seeing rhetoric from the Trump supporters, but I gotta tell you, man, you know what?
00:38:08.000Maybe it's just hubris, but there's a part of me that says when they tore down a statue of Thomas Jefferson, that was a declaration of war on everything the average American believes in.
00:39:05.000But I was watching this video from PragerU about Frederick Douglass, and one of his arguments was, he's a very, very famous abolitionist, born a slave, became free, and he said something about, you know, will the American people have the will to live up to their own constitution?
00:39:20.000And there were pro-slavery people who were like, oh, harumph!
00:39:38.000Historians actually writing about the attitudes, and I looked up a bunch of other sources from before the whole controversy, and they all seem to back up the general idea that although the Founding Fathers were slave owners, many of them detested it.
00:41:02.000It was a bunch of conservatives posting it, and they were saying that people didn't know anything about the statue other than he was a colonist.
00:41:07.000And it was like, he would buy in free slaves and fought really, really hard to end it, actively.
00:41:12.000And they deface it, and it's like, you have no idea what you're talking about, man.
00:41:56.000Now it goes to the Senate, and then I guess it'll be, I don't know if it'll be voted on or ratified or however it works in California, but the Assembly Democrats in California, basically their version of the House, have passed it.
00:42:32.000So I sent it to a friend of mine who lives in California, and I said, if this actually is ratified, I will never set foot in California again.
00:42:38.000I was like, because I do not want to be made an example of based on my race.
00:42:43.000And they said, but affirmative action, you have to understand.
00:42:45.000And I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, stop, stop.
00:42:53.000It literally says This bill or provision will remove Section 31, Chapter 1 of the California Constitution.
00:43:06.000And then it shows you all the text that will be removed.
00:43:08.000And it literally says, the state shall not discriminate nor provide preferential treatment on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, sex, national origin.
00:43:58.000So, I have another friend, and we were talking about political ideologies, and I said, the problem with the political compass is that me and everyone I know are left libertarian.
00:44:08.000The difference is I'm anti-identitarian, and you can't see ideology on a political compass.
00:44:15.000And so my friend was like, I said, because of this, I reject most of the policies of the progressives and the Democrats.
00:44:22.000We started having a conversation, and I sent them a link to the Ballotpedia bill saying they're revoking civil rights legislation.
00:44:29.000And they responded with, you know, the thing about affirmative action, and I said, hold on, let me stop you right there.
00:46:13.000I actually proposed this to somebody a long time ago.
00:46:16.000We were arguing on Facebook about all of these different political issues and places, and I said, I'll tell you what, have you ever been to any one of these places?
00:46:59.000Immediately stops talking responding on Facebook of course immediately just stops responding on messenger You know what you know what would happen if you walked through like man I'm not gonna mention some of these gangs, but if one of these scrawny, you know little Lefty progressive dudes that I know from Chicago.
00:47:16.000Yeah that I've done for a long time They know what happens when you walk to that neighborhood.
00:47:21.000Let me let me tell you a quick story I lived on the south side, eventually moved to the suburbs, and I'm skating in the suburb of Glen Ellyn.
00:49:02.000So now, this was somebody who was from the suburbs, who knew the reality of the city of Chicago and the gun violence, Chi-Rac, and all that stuff, and he was not happy about me taking, like, I'm from the city, dude, I'm, you know, and I know people who are way more reckless than I was, but my ultra-progressive friends from the city, I'd be like, straight up, man, I tell you what, come with me to the South Side, where I grew up, we'll go for a walk.
00:52:44.000After civil rights and, you know, the loving Virginia and then other provision, you know, other amendments that have been made over the past several decades, we were truly getting to a point Where race, it was considered taboo to use that as a pretext for anything, and it became a secondary, it became an afterthought.
00:53:06.000You still had comedians who would bring up race and make these points, and people recognized there was a lot we had to do, but we were getting away from using race as a pretext for anything.
00:53:14.000The left brought it back, and when they started normalizing the belittling and the insulting of white people, Yeah.
00:53:20.000It made a lot of, it created an incentive for many young white people to form a racial identity group.
00:53:27.000And then you saw the rise of the alt-right.
00:54:08.000You know, Bernie Sanders said on the debate stage, and I love telling this to people because they don't believe me, if you're white, you don't know what it's like to be poor.
00:54:15.000There's a quote going around from a French far left political leader, and he said, the people who believe in white privilege never met a poor white person.
00:54:24.000And I'm like, that's like a far leftist in France.
00:54:43.000There's so many wheels in this society that we have, and they're all getting all misshapen.
00:54:48.000They're still turning, but they're getting morphed and blobby gross. It's decay. It's decaying. Yes agreed reminds me of
00:54:56.000like Playing you know link to the past or something. Okay, you're
00:55:00.000like in a room and the floor starts falling out That is an amazing game. It's a great game great game
00:55:04.000But I'm imagining like the floor just goes you have to like run and you're running and the floors falling behind you
00:55:08.000Yeah, it feels like that's what's happening Yep, like we're watching the whole structure and system
00:55:12.000just start falling apart And I think it's like a zombification a rot a decay a
00:55:18.000breakdown What are you gonna call it? But the?
00:55:21.000But I do want to stress the point about what they are doing with race.
00:55:26.000And when I pointed out to one of my friends that they've repealed the civil rights legislation, they voted to repeal it in California, and what that means.
00:55:35.000I said, well, I do think one of their preliminary arguments is that they need to be able to discriminate based on race in order to create equality.
00:56:22.000I'd be pissed. Yes, I'm white. Yeah, but I mean, I didn't go to college.
00:56:26.000I got lucky and knew someone amazing, like Tim Poole called me up and said,
00:56:30.000hey, you want to do a show with me? And this is where I am.
00:56:33.000You know, it's like, but basing anything like that on the color of your skin is just,
00:56:39.000it blows my mind away. It's like the fact that people are okay with it, a minority.
00:56:43.000It's a it's more like hey You know what you're you're less than us now, so you don't have to do as much It's like how belittling is that and I'd be pissed they don't just think it's okay They are actively trying to make it happen because I think it's good.
00:57:01.000I don't think it's an attack on any one race.
00:57:03.000I think it's literally them being like, we want to make sure you're all digitized into nice little packages where we can separate you and control which group goes where.
00:57:16.000The craziest thing about Asians, when they say there's too many Asians in the university, A lot of my progressive friends go, well, it is true.
00:57:23.000There's like a disproportionate amount of Asians.
00:57:36.000So you're telling me that you've taken half the planet, put it onto one continent, and then said this entire ethnic region, the Western, Eastern hemisphere, is now one group.
00:57:49.000So I have to wonder what their real motivations are when they try and argue that a poor Vietnamese immigrant is the same as a wealthy Indian immigrant.
01:00:22.000I don't know that for certain, but... This artist, one of the most prominent artists who's ever created, you know... She's been with magic the entire time.
01:00:31.000Therese Nielsen is an incredible artist.
01:00:33.000She's been making art for magic since the get-go.
01:00:36.000I'm pretty sure she was one of the first... No, maybe not the first, but, I mean, at least 20 years she's been doing artwork for magic, and it's always been incredible artwork.
01:00:54.000Let's see how Hipsters of the Coast frames this.
01:00:56.000They say, Thursday evening on Weekly MTG, Wizards of the Coast, on Weekly MTG, Wizards of the Coast revealed they've apparently ended their relationship with controversial artists.
01:01:33.000Bayer's Statement is Wizards of the Coast's first acknowledgement of the controversy surrounding Nielsen.
01:01:38.000It came on the same day that it was revealed that Nielsen will have at least three cards in Jumpstart, Magic's newest supplemental product, with her art Death's Approach, Haunter's Insight, and Rhystic Study.
01:01:48.000Many in the Magic community were upset that Wizards was continuing to use Nielsen's work after the information that has surfaced throughout 2018 and 2019.
01:01:56.000The information that surfaced is that she followed Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, and InfoWars.
01:03:00.000That way she could not tell someone what was, you know, I don't want to act like it's Mike, Jack, or InfoWars are giving you the truth, just a different opinion.
01:03:07.000I'll tell you what, I never followed her on Twitter, but I'm gonna go find her after the show.
01:04:21.000She could have said something like, oh yeah, I noticed some activists were tweeting about how awful they were and I was like, whoa, I better see what they're doing because this is bad.
01:04:42.000Nielsen lives in Carson City, Nevada with her wife, was one of Magic's most popular artists, and began illustrating cards in 1996's Alliance expansion.
01:04:49.000Okay, so it wasn't right in the beginning, but... 24 years!
01:05:19.000And it was like the perfect Trojan horse for all these alternative personalities, or whatever you want to call them, where they didn't know what alt-right meant.
01:05:25.000That's so funny, because this was pitched to me by a literal family member.
01:05:29.000I've talked to you guys about this person.
01:05:30.000They pitched it to me, and they're like, how would you guys like to be part of this group?
01:06:07.000If they're that extreme, they think they're better and know everything more than anyone else.
01:06:11.000A part of it really is when people come and start talking about groups.
01:06:16.000I am just too arrogant to be like, I'm not going to stand next to you for whatever it is you're doing because, because I just don't think you're smart enough to do what you're doing.
01:06:22.000I don't know what you're, I don't care what you think you are, what you think you're doing.
01:06:25.000I'm not a part of your group and I'm not going to, I'm going to wear my beanie.
01:07:15.000And I said, look, I'll be honest with you.
01:07:18.000I was, I was talking to my agent after the fact.
01:07:19.000And I was like, There are people who like and respect me.
01:07:25.000I'm a guy out on the street in boots on the ground.
01:07:26.000The last thing I'm gonna do is put on a tuxedo or whatever they want me to wear and show up to their silly little gala and act like some foofy elitist.
01:07:33.000So when you went to the White House, was that last year?
01:09:00.000And so it's, it's funny too, because they, these people constantly try to use pictures of me sitting down with like other alt-right people.
01:10:21.000The magic community has blessed me and taught me in a myriad of ways in the past 25 years.
01:10:26.000I embrace the fact that many different viewpoints can do and should coexist.
01:10:30.000In these stressful times, it is my intent to navigate in harmony with my core values—beauty, compassion, love—to the best of my ability without any need or desire to stifle, censor, or demean another for differently held viewpoints.
01:10:56.000Nielsen later posted a second statement celebrating Pride Month, saying, Just a few months later, her work ended up on the racist, QAnon, and conspiracy-focused YouTube channel Edge of Wonder.
01:11:02.000For the record, I support human rights, trans rights, gay rights, as well as religious freedom
01:11:06.000and the sacredness of life in all forms."
01:11:08.000Just a few months later, her work ended up on the racist, QAnon and conspiracy-focused
01:11:39.000We hear you, Bayer said Thursday, the implication of his words that the last product that will have any reprint art from Nielsen will be Zendikar Rising.
01:11:46.000Combined with the fact that they haven't commissioned any new art from her in a while, It's that is that Wizards has stopped working with Nielsen
01:11:52.000and will cease printing cards with her art When hipsters reached out to Wizards for confirmation, they
01:11:57.000declined declined to comment further. I think it might be time for me to cease my
01:12:01.000Playing magic and buying new magic products. This is a red line for me, man
01:12:06.000The jump start that they're they're coming out with they're the double masters thing. They're coming out
01:12:11.000They're just shoving cards like collectors are pissed. I i've seen I follow a lot of collectors on instagram. They're
01:12:17.000quitting They're like, we're done. I'm done trying to, you know,
01:12:22.000All the old cards they're collecting, they're reprinting.
01:12:52.000People are like, oh, you and Tim should play Magic.
01:12:54.000And I was like, oh, do people want to do it?
01:12:55.000People seem to want to see us play, but honestly... I didn't... We've been working on our own... Feels like a waste of my time.
01:13:01.000We've been working on our own card game that we wanted to do kind of like a tabletop that could be popped out of the box and anyone could just play.
01:13:07.000For those that aren't familiar with Magic, there's like 20,000 cards, a bunch of different formats.
01:13:13.000There's a secondary market where cards have ridiculous values in the thousands of dollars, potentially, down to like 50 cents.
01:13:49.000Stepmother of the Atlanta cop charged with shooting Dade Raishan Brooks is fired for her job as a mortgage company's HR director because of employees creating a hostile working environment.
01:14:02.000So her employees aren't creating the hostile work environment?
01:16:25.000Free speech would be Now, we recognize under the Supreme Court there are limits to speech, and I believe it's fair to say, like, telling someone to go do something and then they go, like, commit a crime.
01:16:49.000If free speech is a range of opinions from negative 10 to positive 10, and you're only allowed negative 10 to positive 2, it's not free speech.
01:17:24.000Somebody turn the trash compactor off, please.
01:17:28.000It's not so much about free speech in this story, even, I think.
01:17:33.000The free speech we're granted right now is... I think this.
01:17:37.000I think free speech is completely dead.
01:17:40.000And what's happening is YouTube allows us to do this to make sure there's not an overreaction when they go for the final crushing blow against freedom.
01:17:47.000Right, because they don't want the majority of people that still believe it exists to find out that it doesn't exist anymore because they'll be like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:17:57.000And so what they do is... Slowly but surely.
01:17:59.000It's a story I've told about eBay, how they changed from yellow to white.
01:18:05.000So then what they did was every day they added one more shade closer to white and the background over one year turned from yellow to white without anyone realizing it because it was so slow and gradual.
01:18:15.000That's what they need to be careful of.
01:18:17.000So when Google banned the Federalist the other day, so basically for those who aren't familiar,
01:18:22.000NBC News contacted Google and said, look at these offensive articles from the Federalist.
01:18:27.000Google then issued a statement to them saying, we have banned the Federalist, a mainstream
01:19:52.000So I don't know, man, if Trump wins re-election, will they finally just be like, okay, we'll wait another four years and try and win?
01:19:58.000It's crazy to me that they're willing to blow everything up to try and stop Trump from winning another four years when they could just wait four years and then run their candidate and try and win when Trump can't run for re-election.
01:20:10.000So yeah, I do think that it's only a matter of time.
01:20:14.000Look, if these companies are going to fire the family members of people involved in these stories, I think we're well past the point where speech is an issue.
01:20:23.000I think to them, they're like, Tim Poole is acceptable.
01:20:26.000He's the, like I was saying, the negative two to positive 10.
01:20:29.000Yeah, Tim Poole's a zero for the most part.
01:20:32.000Maybe a positive one because he rags on the Democrats so much.
01:20:35.000But he's nowhere near conservative like these other people.
01:20:38.000When I was on Crowder's show the other day, Crowder's much more opinionated and forceful on his view.
01:21:31.000They took it one step too far, and now they may actually get hauled in to testify.
01:21:34.000And now the DOJ has released guidelines recently on what they have to do, what they should do, and how bills should be drafted to prevent censorship.
01:21:53.000So what I've been saying about Section 230, which shields these big tech companies from liability, is that they should make it so that big tech companies, so long as they only remove content that's unlawful, then they're not liable for what is said.
01:22:09.000If they start removing political opinions, they should not be protected.
01:22:14.000Facebook is literally publishing editorials.
01:22:17.000So when I logged into Facebook today, I got a big thing about the importance of Black Lives Matter.
01:22:47.000So if Facebook and Instagram publish stuff, and they do, like if you go to the search tab of Instagram, you will get a Black Lives Matter taking up 30, 40% of your screen.
01:22:56.000It doesn't matter, because the rest of the content is comments.
01:23:53.000That's the funny thing about where we're at right now is I always wonder why it is that Therese Nielsen will be, you know, this artist will be canceled because she followed somebody, but Seth MacFarlane is like heralded as this great, you know, liberal.
01:24:06.000It's like, the dude still makes racist jokes.
01:25:34.000They're rich, and their jokes must be in line with what the outrage mob demands, and they'll cave in two seconds.
01:25:40.000So now you can have, in the United States of America, the flag being burned is one thing, but people throwing ropes over statues and destroying them is like, wow, we're really at this point.
01:25:50.000And then you see what happened in New Mexico, and that guy shows up with a gun, don't destroy our statues, and they attack him.
01:25:59.000They threaten his life, they beat him.
01:26:01.000He shoots the guy several times, they drop the charges.
01:26:04.000He may get charged again, but it looks like the dude's holding a knife.
01:26:08.000So I'll tell you, man, we had the guys in South Philly.
01:26:11.000It's only a matter of time before Americans say the law isn't... You know what?
01:26:15.000I wouldn't be surprised if the police get abolished.
01:26:56.000So the issue then is, why would conservatives support the police that are enforcing unconstitutional orders with the lockdown, refusing to protect public property?
01:27:05.000and isn't it all in democratic cities so they're mostly down the chain of command you got the mayor
01:27:11.000who's like you're not going i'm gonna call the police chief you guys are not going or you're
01:27:17.000gone i'm gonna i'm out you're gone if if you don't follow what i'm saying right now and it's like
01:28:22.000America and the colonies is not the same thing as what the founding fathers represented.
01:28:27.000The colonies were European colonial, you know, adventurism and things like this.
01:28:35.000The Founding Fathers was an ideological shift about the equal rights of the individuals, the rights to self-governance, and it was a change away from the... Like, dare I say, to use the language of these people, the Founding Fathers opposed the colonial mindset in a sense.
01:28:52.000They wanted people to be free and have their own space and mind their own business.
01:29:07.000So what happened before, people like Christopher Columbus and these other, you know, conquistadors and preachers, before the colonies was a very, very different mindset.
01:29:15.000And mind you, hundreds of years, hundreds!
01:29:30.000When I see people defending Christopher Columbus for all his faults, and he did not create this country, I think that's very, very interesting.
01:29:36.000Now they're toppling Jefferson and Washington.
01:29:39.000If these people came out to Philly, I'd imagine, and tried to go after icons of independence, I'd imagine you might see some dead people.
01:31:03.000I like the meme of, you know, the video of them taking down, and then they show, like, the picture of the old white dude, whatever, and it's Nancy Pelosi's face on it.
01:32:43.000This one just popped up and it's very relevant.
01:32:45.000Nanashi No Name says, Magic the Gathering was indeed the first trading card game that came out.
01:32:50.000Richard Garfield was trying to publish a board game, but was told it looked too expensive to produce and expressed interest in a more faster playing game that is more portable.
01:33:59.000If your mind is drug addled and you are hunched over and unhealthy and your brain doesn't work and you're sitting there like drooling, you need someone to confirm to you whether or not a joke skit video is real or not.
01:35:44.000There is still kind of like... I don't want to call it a light at the end of the tunnel or an open window because it's still bad, but when all of this collapses and all these businesses go completely under, Then we start back over and rebuild the things that we like.
01:37:08.000Oh, dude, yeah, they had a... yeah, you go for it.
01:37:10.000Okay, so they had, like, a safe space flag in the window.
01:37:13.000Like, legit, like, if you are worried about getting your feelings hurt, you can come here, and we will take care of you and protect your precious little feelings.
01:37:22.000And I was like, I feel like I'm in Social Justiceville up in here.
01:37:25.000And this is not the way it's supposed to be.
01:37:27.000I'm just supposed to be with a bunch of nerds.
01:37:28.000Can we cancel participation trophies yet?
01:38:11.000Well, that's where boosters or single cards, it's too, you can't make money, especially when they're doing this jumpstart thing, which is like 90% reprints.
01:38:30.000Tyler says, What do you think of Bret Weinstein's recommendation of Andrew Yank and William H. McRaven independent ticket to begin the process of saving our nation?
01:38:38.000They are both respectable, intelligent people with a good history of competence.
01:39:18.000Kevin Brown says, I've been warning people for four years of the upcoming civil war, but I swore up and down it was going to be the authoritarian far right who would burn the books, films, and art.
01:41:07.000Parler is a pro-Trump company, but it's like Twitter and a bunch of conservatives go there and a lot of the people who are banned have large followings there.
01:41:25.000My question is, you know, early today, Brad Parscale, I think it was today, Brad Parscale, who is the, he's the campaign manager for Trump, right?
01:41:31.000He said, you know, Twitter's end is coming or something like this.
01:41:35.000Twitter's days are numbered and then linked to Parlay.
01:47:50.000All your friends are sitting around, one person does something and then you contribute to what is going on.
01:47:54.000You could literally play Dungeons & Dragons without any rules just by someone telling a story and then asking what you would do and making jokes.
01:48:10.000So, I tweeted about us playing Magic, and I'd say about 40% of the comments were like, no, no, no, forget Magic, play Diversity in Dragons.
01:48:36.000The Grizzly says, find different games that are worth your support.
01:48:39.000While I prefer games like RTSs, so Kings of War is my game, just in case Warhammer goes woke, it hasn't yet, but after D&D, I'm not taking any chance.
01:49:22.000Like, when they did Innistrad, which is, for those that aren't familiar, it's like vampires, and it was like, what was it, like Victorian or colonial era?
01:50:03.000All right, let's see what we got here.
01:50:05.000Villa Music Dude says, I'm first-generation American, one of the first in to be college-educated, and my dad worked so hard, sacrificed himself to give us opportunity.
01:50:15.000Our family has experienced communism, World War II, and genocide from Yugoslavia.
01:53:53.000Andrew Daniel says, it's basically Tony Hawk rebooted with Pooley's mad dunking on Soy Boys, and they have skate until you get to the Soy King, where you have to win by actually being a skater.
01:55:45.000And then YouTube, I'm sorry, Reddit, quarantined, basically banning The Donald because they were threatening cops apparently, which is ridiculous to think that the Blue Lives Matter people are threatening cops.
01:56:00.000And now Reddit is dominated with nothing but like anti-cop Crazy cop threats and the whole thing's fine.
01:56:05.000But they made their own clone of Reddit at thedonald.win.
01:56:09.000And so someone super chatted that and I will mention it simply because I think it's important to have balance in your political diet.
01:56:17.000So when Reddit got rid of that, they created a huge nightmarish problem for regular Americans because now you're not getting a healthy political diet.
01:56:25.000I'm not saying that the people over at the Donald's are correct, but you certainly need to know what they think about things.
02:08:53.000All right, so, gentleman broadcaster and wheeled plank enthusiast Baron Bonvini took to the skies today aboard his newly completed Radio Zeppelin.
02:09:04.000Equipped with the latest in broadcast technology and crewed by some of the finest in the industry, the team, along with their feline companion, Bucko, seems to dispatch the latest and most up-to-date news to the people of America and beyond.
02:09:20.000Philadelphia starlet and radio personality Lydia Sourpatch had this to say, Oh my stars and garters, this will revolutionize the way we can deliver current affairs.
02:09:31.000When asked how this marvel of a machine was able to take flight, Baron Von Beeney informed The Chronicle that it was through vegan ingenuity.
02:09:39.000Dr. Krigler is our lead scientist and engineer on the project.
02:09:43.000It was through vegan science and engineering he was able to refine chow cheese in such a way that he was able to produce large volumes of near odorless gas.
02:09:52.000that we use to inflate the cells within the airship.
02:09:56.000Without his genius, we never would have gotten off the ground.
02:15:21.000And then, uh, we're just... The show's basically over for the most part, but if you love the music and you want to hear us play, then hang out, because we're still here.
