On this episode of the TimCast, the guys talk about the latest lockdown in Wisconsin, the L.A. lockdown, and the potential cure for a virus that's been around for a long time. Also, we talk about why we can't go out and do anything.
00:03:59.000Because, like, Whitmer, the governor, said this is an executive order, not a suggestion or whatever, like, and people are, like, there's signs saying, like, obey.
00:04:40.000We'll get to it, but before we get started, make sure y'all hit that like button.
00:04:44.000Make sure you jump in the super chat, and we will do our best to read your comments, we get to them.
00:04:50.000You can follow me at Timcast, and you can follow Adam over at AdamKrigler on Twitter, both of us Twitter and Instagram, but you can send Adam story suggestions on Twitter.
00:05:02.000And then also, you know, share this video, because one of the segments we're gonna do today is YouTube admits That nobody likes watching CNN, but they're going to share them anyway.
00:05:13.000And it's funny because the BuzzFeed people and like these lefty blogs are angry that people are uploading videos to YouTube and then sharing them on Facebook.
00:06:39.000The large core stage of China's Long March 5B rocket re-entered Earth's atmosphere and plummeted out of control to the surface earlier this week.
00:06:48.000At 100 feet long and 16 feet wide, it is the largest piece of space junk to fall uncontrolled from low Earth orbit in almost 30 years.
00:07:08.000New reports from social media and some African news organizations suggest pieces of the rocket may have been thrown across parts of the Côte d'Ivoire.
00:07:20.000The heavy-lift rocket, which was carrying China's prototype crew capsule, successfully launched from Wenchang Launch Center on Hainan Island off the country's southern coast.
00:07:30.000Typically, rockets have a first stage that propels them for the first few minutes after launch, while the second stage helps the payload reach orbit.
00:08:06.000Air Force's 18th Space Control Squadron, which tracks man-made objects in orbit around Earth, confirmed the rocket's re-entry was on May 11th at around 11.33 a.m.
00:08:15.000Initial reports claimed the spacecraft had plummeted into the ocean off Africa's west coast.
00:08:20.000Now two villages in the Ivory Coast have reported finding what they believe to be debris from the fallen rocket stage, according to images posted to social media and reported in the French-language news organization Afrique Soir.
00:08:32.000Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, tweeted that the location of one fallen object, a nearly 40-foot-long pipe seen in a number of photos, wow, is directly on the CZ-5B reentry track.
00:09:09.000While there's no official word on whether these pieces of debris are actually parts of the fallen rocket stage, it's looking more and more likely.
00:09:15.000Lesina Zerbo, Executive Secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization, tweeted May 12th that the International Monitoring System's Infrasound Network, primarily designed to detect nuclear blasts in the atmosphere, registered signals of debris traveling at supersonic speeds in the area.
00:09:32.000In 1991, the Soviet Salyut 7 space station tumbled back to Earth, breaking up over Argentina.
00:09:37.000The Mir space station, which was decommissioned in 2001 and broke apart during a controlled re-entry above waters near Fiji, is the largest man-made object to re-enter Earth's atmosphere.
00:09:48.000And NASA's Skylab space station famously pummeled a small Australian town in 1979.
00:09:56.000If the Long March 5B core stage landed Earth's atmosphere just 15 minutes earlier, chunks of it very likely could have fallen across New York City, Ars Technica reported.
00:10:05.000But it isn't the first time China has played fast and loose with falling rocket parts.
00:10:09.000In March, when China launched its Long March 3B rocket, a booster crash-landed downrange in the Guizhou province.
00:10:17.000Late last year, another Long March 3B rocket ferried two satellites into orbit, but dropped sections of its boosters on a settlement near the launch site.
00:10:26.000In 2018, yet another booster fell from the sky after the launch of a Long March 3B rocket and exploded just outside of a small town in the Guangxi province.
00:10:36.000Witnesses posted stunning video clips of the fallen booster to social media.
00:10:41.000In addition to smashing into the ground with unbelievable force, these boosters often still have traces of the toxic propellant hydrazine in them.
00:10:49.000As tempting as it is, if one falls into your yard, don't try to get a closer look.
00:10:55.000You think your yard would exist still if a 20-ton rocket fell into it? That's insane.
00:11:00.000So they're saying 15 minutes earlier and it would have hit New York City.
00:11:04.000Yeah, but they just said, you know what, man?
00:12:48.000I've seen the first season and parts of the second season.
00:12:50.000So, I just finished, no spoilers here, but I just finished the third season, and there's this scene where one of the main characters was in the army, right?
00:14:25.000But I'll tell you what, man, you look at what China does, you look at how they, you know, with climate change, with carbon emissions, and like, they don't care.
00:15:02.000Yeah, it's actually interesting, because in this article it says that they, it used to, like, here, go ahead, it used to hit, where am I at?
00:15:25.000So they're like, man, we got to up our game and make the 5B rocket because then it'll go into orbit and we don't have to worry about it anymore.
00:17:20.000The guy was talking about how they get people to join the Navy, and then Lisa's like superliminal, and then he opens the window and he goes, hey you, join the Navy!
00:17:30.000So China hires talent scholars or whatever, like talent scouts or something, and they secretly get money from the Chinese government, They lie about it to the Feds, they're not supposed to get this money, and they're not disclosing it to federal agencies that are paying them.
00:18:40.000He's trying to push the cup off the table.
00:18:42.000So what really kind of surprised me about the rocket and them launching this rocket right now was that they have a little bit of a pandemic going on there right now.
00:18:51.000And they're taking out time to work on a rocket and they're taking out time to target our vaccinations.
00:18:57.000Well, we're working on our rockets too.
00:20:45.000You'd be born with a tattoo, and you'd get it updated every couple years.
00:20:49.000and people would be like oh make sure to scan your barcode when you're you know entering the building yeah like we have we have id cards passports social security numbers we have all of these how about like uh uh what is the movie minority report where they walk into the subway and they look at the scanner it's like boop gets their eyes irises boop Welcome, John Anderton.
00:22:26.000Your mom, your dad, your brother, your sister, your girlfriend, whatever, they all have you saved in their phones as Adam, son, boyfriend, husband, whatever, right?
00:22:40.000When they download the Facebook app, which is by default on Android phones and can't be deleted.
00:22:51.000So, what happens is, when they open the messenger, it says, would you like to sync your contacts?
00:22:56.000Facebook gets access to all of the contact list of everyone who knows you, and then here's what they find out.
00:23:01.000They know who your mom is, they know who your significant other is, who your best friend is, they can tell based on the frequency of like messages and things like that.
00:23:10.000Now if you actually use the apps, that's when they can really predict your behavior.
00:23:15.000I want someone's email at Facebook so I can email them when I'm actually pooping.
00:23:35.000So, I was reading this crazy thing that said, basically, they know where people will eat and what time they will eat because they can start predicting based on when your break time is.
00:24:21.000And they created these tests where they could predict things about you, where it would be like, we can prove whether or not you're like a man or a woman, or whether you're white or not white.
00:24:30.000And they would ask you questions that seemingly made no sense.
00:24:33.000It would be like, which would you prefer?
00:24:34.000And then it would show you weird shapes.
00:24:36.000You'd be like, I don't know, and you just click one, right?
00:26:31.000You were like, bro, upgrade my chip, please.
00:26:34.000You know, it's funny, I was listening to Rogan, and they were talking about this conspiracy theory, and I really do mean it, where people think their phones are listening to them.
00:27:10.000I remember I went to Walmart and they had a sale on TVs.
00:27:14.000And we were walking through the aisle, and the TVs were in the middle of the aisle, on discount or whatever, and it was a big TV, and I was like, that's a good idea.
00:27:26.000So we call the guy over, he puts in the cart.
00:27:28.000When I got home, I went on Facebook, and there was an ad showing what appeared to be that exact same TV on the stand in the middle, and I was like, what's going on?
00:30:36.000You won't know exactly what it is that I bought.
00:30:38.000But I think it's really funny because I was looking at the price of gold and silver once, and then all of a sudden all the ads were for gold and silver.
00:30:44.000And I'm like, I wonder if people are going to catch this.
00:30:47.000You know, I've actually thought that multiple times, and not one person has asked us, like, hey, about the ads.
00:30:54.000It feels like people are, well, thankfully, they're probably listening to what we're talking about.
00:31:39.000My question is, if you were sitting here one day and an ad popped up for this UFO thing and you were like, I want that, would you be happy?
00:33:42.000Or whatever it is, like clothes shrank.
00:33:43.000It's like, it's an exaggeration of what already existed.
00:33:46.000There's a really funny graphic that I remember seeing once, where it was like in the year 1900, what they thought the year 2000 would be like.
00:34:49.000There was, I don't know if you saw the story, there was some crazy story about how we've discovered a way to reverse aging by like 54% or something.
00:35:11.000I was reading some report from this guy on Twitter, some PhD guy, and he's like, this looks legit.
00:35:15.000The goal now is to figure out what in young plasma is causing cellular repair, and then you get a pill, you get an injection, and then you'd basically be like 28 forever.
00:36:35.000In terms of like, we pass on our knowledge and our secrets to our youth, who then get a new chance at experiencing the world, and developing things and shaping things the way they see it, and we pass on.
00:36:50.000So it's like, we get our time here, To learn, develop, grow, make the changes we think, and then we pass that information down, and that causes evolution and development and, you know.
00:37:20.000And there's always a group of scientists that reject the newer theories and really, really put scrutiny, you know, scrutinize it.
00:37:27.000I was talking to this physicist guy about M-theory, which is like, it's like, I'm not super familiar with it, but a unified theory, I guess, like a theory of the universe, theory of everything.
00:38:41.000You know, like part of their fundamentals, you know, and it's like when you start off as a scientist, science, you know, it's all about changing and learning and testing and figuring out what works.
00:38:52.000So if you can't see that it works and it takes you 30 years to figure out that it doesn't work, Then you're the scientist that did it, and if that's not what you're focused on, then it's a fundamental issue with the human that is the scientist.
00:39:08.000That's why I'm saying, you know, somebody develops a theory, then, you know, they retire, they die, they've had their time on Earth, and then the younger person, who is less invested, says, hey, wait a minute.
00:39:24.000And now they develop and then less attachments.
00:39:28.000So I'd imagine if humans were immortal and didn't die, then there would be cultural artifacts that would persist that are detrimental, that make no sense, that maybe made sense at a certain point don't make sense now.
00:39:41.000kind of shining a light on how vulnerable we actually really are because imagine if all the drugs in the world and I mean drugs like vaccines and everything we have to fight any ailment that the human body goes through like what if it all went away how many people would actually die then you know how many of us are actually strong enough to survive at that point you know because we're keeping humans alive for so long now right I mean it's That's a tough question, man.
00:40:13.000Are we getting stronger or are we getting weaker?
00:40:16.000We're kind of fending off death with our man-made stuff, right?
00:40:23.000That's some dangerous thinking there, Adam.
00:40:25.000That's to stick to your work and keep your mouth shut.
00:40:28.000That's what this is making me think of.
00:40:29.000You were talking about us getting stronger and passing on our stuff, but we're not passing on our immunities.
00:40:35.000We're passing on the drug that Just kills the virus that would have killed us that we don't have immunity to anymore We've got we've got a serious conundrum in our in in civilization Yeah, and that's you know, there's very there.
00:41:21.000But once we've conquered our survival, then these things actually become extremely detrimental.
00:41:27.000When you have ten people living in the wilderness together, doing everything in our power to save someone's life is crucial to the success of the tribe.
00:41:36.000When you have 7.6 billion people doing everything to ensure that literally everyone survives, becomes eventually detrimental in certain ways.
00:41:47.000So we see the persistence of genetic diseases that, you know, we've basically separated ourselves from this.
00:41:53.000Now, we're smart enough to actually get rid of some of these diseases and start improving us, so I don't know if it's necessarily pro or con in many aspects.
00:42:02.000But I think it is true that we're at a weird point where it is an ethical, moral conundrum when you have people who provide nothing to the greater society in terms of survivability actually become net detriments to it.
00:42:16.000In a lot of cases, they have no choice.
00:42:32.000Like, so... It's a conundrum of... If we were a tribe of 30 people, and there was someone who was, like, a vegetable... Like, people would... Like, in a coma?
00:42:54.000So we've invented technology to provide nutrients to sustain someone who's literally just consuming resources and energy, because we have a moral obligation to protect life.
00:43:16.000It's like, but then that hospital that say it costs $50,000 to keep someone on a respirator and being fed catheter system, what all the whole, go ahead.
00:43:28.000You definitely want to say something right now.
00:43:30.000What better use of public funds as moral people do we have than taking care of people who can't take care of themselves through no fault of their own?
00:43:39.000I know, it's so easy to say that, but that is not the way it is.
00:43:42.000Yeah, I know, it's in the perfect world.
00:43:45.000We spend more money killing, figuring out ways to kill people.
00:43:48.000What happens when the Xenotaxans come from the Galactic Federation and start firebombing our oil fields and now we're like, we need hospital beds for the wounded.
00:44:14.000And I know some people who have family members who were born with severe mental disabilities, don't speak, are considered to be essentially comatose or severely developmentally disabled.
00:44:29.000And they're legally obligated and morally obligated to do everything they can to save this life.
00:44:46.000didn't we have like the do not resuscitate orders the people the doctors that were like that person's dead this person's more important yeah save them instead of them well that's just that happened in italy that happened here right but it's already happened yeah so we're already past that point The craziest thing about it is that most of our hospitals weren't overrun.
00:46:40.000I mean, I would want to say yes, because I would love to see the civilization in the future where we colonize this whole solar system, travel around, go to the different planets, see it all.
00:46:58.000I mean, I think about Star Trek was one of my favorite shows.
00:47:00.000When you asked me, If I would want to be immortal, the first thing I'd think of is, oh man, I could travel the stars then.
00:47:06.000I can actually travel the universe and not have to worry about dying.
00:47:11.000But are we talking about biological immortality where you just don't age?
00:52:09.000So, for those that don't know, South Dakota never locked down, and the media attacked them relentlessly, and then they still refused, and now it's three weeks on from when they were being attacked.
00:52:21.000The media was like, South Dakota, the new hot spot.
00:53:23.000Look up CNN or any one of these, you know CBS or Fox or whatever their videos are boring Nobody wants to watch them.
00:53:29.000They all have thumbs down and they get like 10,000 views if that And then you go to my channel, it's like my video's got like 300, 400,000 views, and I'm like, people are choosing my content when presented.
00:53:40.000They're not choosing CBS, ABC, NBC, et cetera.
00:53:44.000But because YouTube is propping these channels up, they're getting hundreds of millions of views.
00:58:10.000This second, largely unmoderated YouTube via Facebook is especially bad in India, where some of the most watched COVID-19 videos in the world are in Hindi and full of misinformation.
00:58:22.000I don't disagree that disinformation is bad.
00:58:29.000Let me ask you, what do you do if like, you know, Billy Bob walks down to the local watering hole and says, hey man, I heard that this thing was orchestrated.
00:58:51.000I see someone at Bud's feed saying it's full of misinformation and then I know what I know because I've been in this world now seeing the mainstream media spreading misinformation.
00:59:04.000Like I'm on Twitter now and I follow people on both sides of the spectrum as far as like political and it's like both sides are just spouting Misinformation that just proves their own points, you know, and this happens, but one side is correct Yeah, and and it switches but doesn't switch
00:59:50.000But three, four, five years of Russia, Jussie Smollett, Covington, these are really high profile examples of how the media just gets everything wrong.
00:59:59.000No, I 100% agree that it's mostly a one-sided thing right now.
01:00:04.000So the easiest way to explain it is, You do have fake news on the right, the 5G conspiracy stuff.
01:00:10.000It's not fair to call that right-wing, to be honest.
01:00:12.000Yeah, I was going to say, isn't that just like random nuts everywhere?
01:00:14.000Right, because, you know, Karen on Facebook saying something like, you know, the towers are coming for us, it's nothing to do with the right, you know what I mean?
01:00:29.000Yeah, and there are a lot of left-wing crazy conspiracy theories, and recently Chris Hayes of MSNBC in an interview said they're They're out of their gourds, right?
01:00:38.000So conspiracies happen, but I'll tell you what.
01:00:40.000I can't give you the exact number, but it's something like this.
01:00:43.0006 out of 10 stories that come from the right are correct.
01:00:46.0004 out of 10 stories that come from the left are correct.
01:00:49.000And so if you're on the left, you have a tendency to be wrong.
01:00:51.000If you're on the right, you have a tendency to be right.
01:00:53.000But I'm not saying political right or left.
01:00:54.000I'm saying culture war, right and left.
01:00:56.000And that's because a lot of moderate and independents are now somehow aligned with the right, simply because there's issues of freedom and free speech and free thought.
01:02:28.000So if someone said Dr. Fauci is a member of the Deep State, I'm like, that's just a colloquial way to explain that Dr. Fauci has been in government, in this position, for decades.
01:04:41.000Some of these sites used to be right-wing libertarian, because police brutality videos were very, very popular for a long time.
01:04:48.000So the approach was, if you were all about liberty, you could play to the left and the right.
01:04:55.000Most Americans detest racism, so it wasn't a left or right issue.
01:05:00.000So all of these sites first started out kind of like on a libertarian bent, but then they started figuring out that it's older women who share the most.
01:05:07.000So their content slowly started skewing towards moms.
01:05:20.000So they started hiring people to write these things, and thus we got the wave of critical race theory, social justice stuff, because Facebook was being exploited.
01:07:44.000More so than without YouTube, but not noticeable because there have been several studies showing that on YouTube, you have to choose what you watch.
01:08:33.000But because they have venture capital and institutional power, they can write fake news about me, and then all of a sudden I get all of these... They circle the wagons around each other.
01:08:42.000They defend their venture capital interests.
01:08:44.000None of these people want to lose money.
01:08:46.000So we're the bigger threat because we're independent individuals.
01:09:21.000The editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed News, and BuzzFeed was pumping out all this crazy crap, and I'm like, man, because I've known Ben for a little while, it's not like I've known him very well, and I'm like, why is this happening?
01:11:37.000And then if you Google search, there will be a box that appears that gives you the gist of the news story.
01:11:41.000So what happens is, the New York Times will write a story, Google will take the information, and it'll appear on Google.com, where they sell ads.
01:11:50.000And then when you see that, you're like, wow, Donald Trump did a backflip, moving on.
01:11:53.000Whereas in the past, you had to go to the New York Times to get the news, Google is infringing on their market.
01:11:59.000So you gotta be careful about those biases.
01:12:18.000You know, it was like, the bank robbers happened all over the place, and the gangsters were there, and they were, like, anti-heroes almost.
01:13:37.00010 or 15 years ago, they were talking about those RFID chips you can get under your skin, and people were getting them, and they'd wave their hand in front of a door, and the door would open, and people still don't get them.
01:13:50.000It's like, I remember Alex Jones was like, they're getting the chips, Verichips coming, and then it never did.
01:14:50.000He actually has an implant that comes out like a little alien device that's connected to his brain and he can like smell colors or something.
01:15:08.000If you're looking to mount stuff in walls or you're looking for where the line is coming in, you just hold your hand over and you're like, oh, there's the power cable.
01:15:14.000And then you know exactly where it is.
01:15:15.000Or you can tell if a wire is live or not.
01:15:20.000So a lot of people have done this because it's really cool.
01:15:24.000You can feel like you'll put your hand and be like, wow.
01:15:27.000Like, it's a sense, something you've never experienced before.
01:15:29.000I'm curious as to what the perception is.
01:15:32.000So the way it works is that your fingertips are very sensitive, and so putting a magnet under the skin, when the magnet comes in contact with the wave, it starts putting pressure and vibrating a little bit, and it puts pressure on your nerve.
01:15:46.000So what I've read, and I've never done it, I know some people who have, is that it's not like touch.
01:15:56.000So people know this, they don't do it.
01:15:58.000So you said that most people have a problem with implants.
01:16:01.000Have you seen that Black Mirror episode where they have the contacts that record your entire life and they can go back to any and watch anything?
01:16:09.000Wouldn't that be like the computer of the future then or the cell phone of the future?
01:16:36.000For those that aren't familiar with lenses, the capillaries can grow over your eyes because your eyes are struggling to get oxygen to, you know.
01:16:45.000Maybe... Odd thing, but... There's a way they can do it that it's like... But, you know, for now... I know we're talking about what the argument is in the future.
01:16:54.000For now, it's like, yeah, we'd have to solve that problem.
01:17:59.000I don't know. I'm just great sense of touch interact with your brain who knows so the the neural link has very very
01:18:04.000fine wires that they have to find a human hair right so
01:18:08.000Maybe in the future what one of the challenges rejection I'm sure Elon Musk is smart enough to know this better than I do, so I'll defer to him.
01:18:29.000Wi-Fi antennas are tiny, but what powers it?
01:18:32.000Theoretically, aren't we electrical beings?
01:18:35.000Like, don't we have, I mean, couldn't we figure out a way that we power it?
01:18:38.000The radio waves themselves might be able to give it enough power to transmit signals, because signals are particularly weak relative to, like, an actual electronic device.
01:19:18.000We might see this start where someone who's paraplegic gets the implant and then they get an electrode at the other part of the spine after the break.
01:20:18.000I mean, I guess it would kind of be good.
01:20:20.000You're talking, you know, you're, you're, you're talking like in the early stages, you're at Thanksgiving with your family and you've got that one really dumb uncle or whatever.
01:23:21.000Yeah, the way I had it designed before was kind of something I threw up in my room and didn't really make as much sense for like a... We're up in the production value.
01:23:29.000But I do think we could use some kind of definition.
01:27:04.000I couldn't find anything countering the point made by the local journalists who pointed out the video.
01:27:10.000But, there's a, uh, RedState said that, they were the one source I found saying that the man is different.
01:27:17.000But I'm like, you know what man, we'll, I gotta wait for more information on this one, but I did put it in.
01:27:22.000That's the thing, I don't know anything about it.
01:27:25.000Everything I'm seeing, as I said earlier, it's like I see people over here and people over here spouting whatever, you know, information they've heard.
01:27:32.000But it's like, everything I'm looking at isn't real information.
01:27:36.000It's like what they took and like, Yeah, that must be true So I'm gonna yell it to the sky and it's like the weirdest thing is the conservatives defending that I don't know any truth It's totally normal to go into a construction site all the time like I mean, I worked construction and that's not true at all, right?
01:27:53.000If anybody in the trades saw someone that they didn't know, because all the electricians, they know all the HVAC guys, they all know each other, so it's like if they close down a construction site and someone's in there that they don't know, they know that you're not supposed to be there.
01:28:08.000You're probably looking for copper, looking for tools that were left out.
01:28:39.000Anyway, the point I was making before about the story is that, I did a ton of searches on this, people are sharing a video where someone took their phone and filmed their TV, and then you hear someone say, the family denies this man, and I'm like, bro, I can't use that as a source.
01:28:54.000I have a local CBS affiliate straight up saying, there's footage uncovered that appears to show the man, and I'm like, that's what I went off of.
01:29:02.000So, RedState apparently has, you know, put this out.
01:29:05.000RedState tends to be, and I mean no disrespect, a conservative commentary website.
01:29:12.000I added a note to the video that it appears to be it might not.
01:29:16.000But until we have a bigger update on, you know, and we might not ever know, it's like, bro, it's a rock and a hard place for me because so many people are biased in trying to influence my coverage on this.
01:29:25.000If I came out and said, oh, I guess it's not him, and I have no source for it, then I'm in an equally bad position where I'm gonna get a ton of people criticizing me for, you know what I mean?
01:30:57.000And he was like, the caller calls in and then says something like, how could you believe any of this stuff?
01:31:03.000And his response was like, listen, I got the Associated Press, and I got a report here that says, and he starts naming people, and he's like, now, let me ask you, like, what do you think about that news report?
01:31:10.000Because right there it says, and I'm like, that seems pretty average.
01:31:14.000That sounds like he's actually looking at the news and asking questions.
01:31:18.000Now you turn on his stuff and he's like, You know, I don't know.
01:31:45.000Yeah, he said that full well knowing that it was going to be everywhere.
01:31:50.000And I think it's because when they banned him, he became like, he needs to find a way to get into the mainstream again to get that attention, to get that press.
01:34:01.000So I used to, in Melee, I played Marth.
01:34:04.000And, uh, when they, then, you know, I've typically preferred playing Marth, but I think they, like, he's not that good anymore, so I play Lucina.
01:35:23.000I'm like someone who's played it for a long time, but if I played any pro, it'd be done in 30 seconds and I'd be like, Yeah, would not be fun.
01:36:31.000Technically Right says, book recommendation for you guys, The Defenders of Liberty, Human Nature, Individualism, and Property Rights in Parvini by N. Parvini.
01:36:40.000It's an exploration and analysis of the history and development of classical liberalism.
01:38:23.000I would suggest, you know, yeah, it is easier.
01:38:28.000If you want to skateboard, like trick skateboarding, like the classic skateboarding, don't ever get a longboard.
01:38:35.000You're gonna get used to the board that you're you're riding and it's better to Get one board and stick with it because you'll just become better on that board So if you're planning on just skating around distance wise just you know scooting around the neighborhood then get a long boards a lot easier you can get like a hybrid board that's bigger, but you can still trick it and They're out there.
01:39:53.000they're gonna switch him out with someone that didn't earn their place there and that
01:39:58.000that's a good point not okay with me at all that's not what we're about that's probably
01:40:02.000the best point I've heard about why not to support any Democrat if they switch out Joe
01:40:07.000Biden for Cuomo they have knifed Bernie in the back yeah the entire democracy like oh
01:40:13.000no we're just gonna put this person in because we think he has a chance it's like what we
01:40:18.000think he has a chance like who's no no no this is NC mm-hmm if if if there was ever
01:40:23.000a reason to get me to vote for Trump the Democrats have found it yeah
01:40:26.000Because I hate the idea of voting for the lesser of two evils, but to allow them to continue to subvert the democratic process, they cannot be allowed to get away with what they've done with Russiagate, with Adam Schiff's lying.
01:40:55.000I don't think Donald Trump is the end of the world or some kind of like Antichrist or anything.
01:40:59.000I think he's another guy, he's another president.
01:41:01.000He's actually a lot better than some of the other presidents we have, but I personally, he would not be my choice.
01:41:06.000However, do I have to do a vote of... Actually, I don't even think it's necessarily fair to call Trump one of the evils.
01:41:14.000He's just not somebody I ultimately agree with on certain policy issues.
01:41:19.000But for the most part, the Democrats haven't made any good arguments as to why I shouldn't agree with him on China tariffs, the building the wall, or anything like this.
01:41:27.000So it leaves me in a position where I'm like, Well, I didn't used to, you know, be on board with— Well, I'm not on board with more conservative, you know, positions, probably like about taxing, social issues, maybe, you know, pro-life, pro-choice kind of stuff.
01:41:43.000But for the most part, I think because the Democrats have gone so far off the rails, the conservatives have now built a coalition where you actually have pro-LGBT, pro-social issues.
01:41:53.000You've got people like Ariel Scarcella, who is Not necessarily conservative, but you have the walk away campaign where you actually have people who are like what the liberals are now in the Trump camp.
01:42:05.000So the issue I guess for me is for the most part is, I've already said over and over again, it's been easier than ever to consider Trump as the right choice for one reason.
01:42:53.000So who better to fix things than the guy who already proved that he could make the economy work?
01:42:58.000That's the best argument possible, which, like I said in several videos, why it's easier than ever and why I'm leaning towards absolutely voting for him.
01:43:05.000And more importantly, I said this, I think I said it today, The scary thing about... I will never vote for a Democrat.
01:43:20.000They're trying to put in insane policies that have gone so far to the left, there's no cohesive strategy anymore.
01:43:25.000And so if you actually believe in the policy of the Democrats from like the year 2010, the year 2000, the Republicans have won all those people over.
01:43:35.000So independents are fairly split, but they do lean by about four points according to one of the most recent polls in favor of Trump.
01:43:41.000And the Democrats, according to Gallup, we've now seen a decrease in the amount of people identifying as liberal and an increase in the amount of people identifying as conservative.
01:43:50.000I have no problem saying, like, look, Joe Rogan came out and said he'd rather vote for Trump over Biden.
01:44:21.000The other issue is, the Republicans need to do something about Mitch McConnell, people like Lindsey Graham.
01:44:27.000There are a lot of Republicans who have sat on their hands and done nothing, and as far as I can tell, are probably part of the establishment problem that aren't being, you know, so we'll see what happens.
01:44:54.000And it's crazy, you know, I don't want to name anybody because it should be up to them, but there's some people I'm talking to who are, like, as lefty as they come, and they're like, I don't know if I've become conservative or the left has gone nuts, and I'm like, does it matter?
01:47:11.000I think one of the biggest problems we have is that a lot of the fighting in this country comes down to how we waste resources on, like, this weird conflict in these foreign countries.
01:47:21.000And, you know, it is really, really difficult.
01:47:24.000We waste a lot more resources than on everything, just as simple being humans.
01:47:40.000Man, it really is tough because character really does matter.
01:47:43.000And I've said this over and over again.
01:47:44.000The Democrats found someone that said very similar things to Trump in regards to policy ideas, securing our borders, bolstering our economy, dealing with the threat of China.
01:47:54.000And he didn't, you know, he wasn't this bombastic entertainer type who was like, you know, just constantly... He wasn't Trump.
01:48:54.000The economy isn't some nebulous system of making rich people and getting people cash so they can laugh and go party.
01:49:00.000It's so that we can make the machine work, like a well-oiled machine.
01:49:03.000And under Trump, we had the best numbers of our lives, according to Jim Cramer.
01:49:07.000He was also right about the problem of manufacturing with China, and now that the pandemic hit, it's like, listen, the left has been wrong on way too many things.
01:49:14.000They've made no arguments against Trump's policies.
01:50:11.000So these are things that I have serious issues with.
01:50:14.000Now, some people have tried explaining this away to me, saying that, look, you know, Trump isn't a foreign policy guy, so he was being pressured by these bad advisors and he was surrounded by Deep State and blah blah blah, and I'm like, I'm willing to accept that if he does something about this.
01:50:29.000And then when he announced he was going to start pulling troops out of Syria, and then you saw the media really went after him, I was like, these are good things.
01:55:49.000The Grizzly adds, even though areas like Kalamazoo has a grand total of 11 cases since the start of the outbreak, a lot of rural counties are starting to rise up.
01:55:58.000The outcome will be the same with California and New York.
01:56:01.000Violent uprising than a full civil war.
01:56:21.000There are parts, I was reading something, I can't remember which state, but it's very similar.
01:56:26.000The entire state has no cases and they lock down.
01:56:28.000There's like one city with a small handful of cases, so they lock down rural parts that have almost no contact with other parts of the state.
01:56:39.000Ella Mondorius says, Hey Tim, do you think that Democrats are aware that they're hindering their chances of re-election by talking about permanent lockdowns?
01:56:46.000Or would they be safe from zombies in the apocalypse?
01:56:50.000I think they must be trying to help Trump.
01:59:41.000I can do nollie half hardflip late flips.
01:59:43.000I can do fakie hardflip fakie ghetto birds.
01:59:48.000I can do late flips, but frontside flips have always... I can do a switch frontside flip, nollie backside flip, fakie frontside flip, a regular frontside flip.
02:01:12.000K98 says 3.7 million NIH grant to EcoHealth Alliance to study bat coronaviruses in Wuhan Institute of Virology and gain of function methods worth looking into.
02:01:50.000Democracy says, in the future, could you and all you other YouTubers possibly provide links for articles you are reading in the descriptions below?
02:02:01.000So, there's issues with that because This may be an urban legend, and YouTube has talked about it, but putting external links in YouTube videos, YouTube suppresses those videos.
02:02:56.000Because they also have a link approval system where if you want to put links in your videos that you can click on, you've got to get it approved.
02:03:03.000Yeah, so if you want to do a card where it's like, here's my website, it's got to be some approved website.
02:03:08.000So I'm like, I really don't believe it.
02:03:09.000So people ask me all the time, and this is what I always say, YouTube will suppress this so no one ever sees it, so the best I can do is show you.
02:04:48.000And so I see a lot of people saying, the moment you get those Trump bucks, you need to buy something tangible that retains value because the moment they print the money and it drops in your account, the value, the buying power of the dollar starts dramatically going down.
02:06:28.000You know, with him being on CNN, perhaps he will bring about some better commentary and probably, you know, bring some honesty a little bit.
02:07:29.000Jeff M says, if I cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, I am sending all of my poop social media offices via UPS, showing social media what Brown can do for us.
02:13:01.000Metheral says, so BeanieCast, why do you think old and new punks, anarchists, tend to side with authoritarian measures even though it goes against the very meaning of being punk?
02:13:16.000That's why I'm still all about liberty and rejecting this when in 2010 I had the same, you know, similar positions and have been about freedom.
02:13:24.000Sorry if that was a little loud, everybody.
02:13:26.000But it's like, The people you nailed it is so good.
02:13:31.000Yeah, it was it was cool to be punk, right?
02:13:33.000Right, they never actually I know some real punks like punk rockers in in New York, and they're serious, man I look forward to seeing this does not describe real punkers, right?
02:13:43.000Yeah, so it is gonna be the fake ones that want to be cool.
02:13:46.000Oh If Antifa really shows up to protest in favor of the government, it will be the funniest thing.
02:13:53.000It'll be like... It's still kind of funny to think about it.
02:16:50.000Chaotic says, hello from Canada, friends.
02:16:52.000I'm grateful for the work you guys do every day, trying to bring us rational information and discussion.
02:16:56.000I feel the fear over the authoritarian power grab, but at least you have a system to stop it.
02:17:01.000Technically, they're turning the Constitution into Swiss cheese though, so you know.
02:17:06.000Two Rivers Lad says, how is fascism far right?
02:17:09.000It's an outgrowth of socialism and advocates large government bureaucracies.
02:17:13.000I thought the right of the political compass advocated for small government and far right no government.
02:17:18.000The conflict here is the definition of what left and right means.
02:17:21.000There's cultural left and right, economic left and right, and the cultural left and right is where people usually refer to fascism as far right, because the cultural spectrum is progressive versus traditional.
02:17:32.000You tend to see an overlap with the progressives wanting socialism, but there is a way to invert this.
02:17:36.000What ends up happening is, the far left, because it tends to be both culturally left and economically left, is associated generally with the left, which confuses people when you then talk about, like, communists who, or like, Like, ultra-traditional capitalism is far-right.
02:17:54.000It's weird and it's colloquial language that makes very little sense.
02:17:58.000That's the easiest way to break it down.
02:18:01.000Ask them what they're referring to when they say left or right.
02:18:03.000Are they talking about American political factions, culture war factions, or traditional versus progressive, or laissez-faire versus communism?
02:18:12.000Adam Bird says, I'm in the hospital with pneumonia, viral colitis, and fever.
02:18:16.000They have tested me for COVID-19 three times.
02:19:54.000The vitamin D. It's the vitamin D, and it's like, they're not necessarily social distancing, but they're not huddled together in cafes and offices.
02:22:43.000I hesitate on the guest thing because it's like, I think we might not even have guests moving forward since the COVID thing kind of just broke everything.
02:23:12.000A handy redneck says, suggestion, next time you have news overload, like you seem to have had yesterday, why not just do an AdamCast deep dive on a non-news subject, just saying, we like you folks.
02:23:21.000Well, on that, I mean, I guess that, like, can I take this one?
02:23:39.000I mean, Ian actually was coming up with some ideas, too.
02:23:41.000we're bouncing off each other but I found out. Pretty much like 3040
02:23:46.000minutes right for the the start of the show so I didn't have anything. Ready and I wasn't. But I mean.
02:23:53.000Enough people have suggested this so that I should just have
02:23:57.000a deep dive ready to go like someone to really do an episode on. Which I probably will. Yep so
02:24:03.000that's that's actually on yeah. That's actually what we figured because
02:24:08.000it wasn't it wasn't news overload necessarily it was that there
02:24:10.000was like. The stories were all extremely weak so it required
02:24:14.000a lot of research. And it was yeah it's a Yeah, exactly.
02:24:19.000And so then the general idea was, like, that's a day that, you know, when I'm, like, collapsed on the floor and, like, drenched in sweat, Adam can just, you know, run an Atomcast or something.
02:26:33.000Given the pandemic and the current polarization of government today, do you think that this is an excuse to hit the reset button on our current democracy?
02:26:39.000If so, would it be a quick restart or a hard reboot?
02:27:42.000Saint Miles says, Hey Tim, Adam, and Lydia, because this is the most intellectual, entertaining, and calm conversations, I opened my 25-year-old Glen Morin, and I'm now having a glass with my feet up.
02:28:09.000Yeah, I'll take I'll accept it in cash, bro Cody says Tim moved to New Hampshire You can buy chickens and guns the same store live live free or die.
02:28:17.000I do like the idea of getting chickens, man All right.
02:28:20.000Here we are The Brooklyn Way says Trump curved the press curved the press the way Kim deal curd Jack's, Florida in 1989-1990 straight-up walked off the stage and he was right to do so good for him.
02:28:32.000Yeah, he was David says, Tim, talk about the breakdown of the global
02:28:36.000food supply and the regional wars that are about to start. We need to know the cost of not exporting
02:28:40.000our surplus food, a billion dead in the next year. I hope not.
02:28:45.000More the reason why we need to open this economy back up.
02:30:15.000I'm going to point at that finger to point down at that finger.
02:30:17.000Hold on, the important thing is Adam will have a thread where you can send story ideas that we use for the story, so make sure you're following him for that.
02:30:25.000And then Lidia also has her Sour Patch Lids, L-Y-D-S for those that are listening.
02:30:33.000You can follow her because she posts spicy memes on Instagram.
02:30:37.000but uh we'll wrap it up there if you haven't hit the like button you could do so because it really does help thanks for for hanging out we do the show monday through fridays at 8 p.m and now we'll probably more consistently have the show up because even if i'm collapsing from exhaustion adam will have some deep dives available so the show will be uh much more consistent and we post clips every day so make sure you subscribe like button notification bell and then share this with all your friends telling them that we are the Thanks for hanging out.
