Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - TimcastIRL - Libertarian Party Endorses Black Lives Matter, Says We MUST Be Antiracist

00:00:00.000 Thanks for watching.

00:00:12.000 It has been raining nonstop.

00:00:14.000 And I'm quite upset about it because I wanted to do the skateboarding, but I can't.

00:00:18.000 I guess I'll have to settle with the fact that the Libertarian Party has endorsed Black Lives Matter and says we must be anti-racist.

00:00:25.000 Welcome to the TimCast IRL podcast.

00:00:27.000 My name is Tim Poole and I'm hanging out with some friends tonight.

00:00:30.000 What's up everybody, how you doing?

00:00:31.000 It's Adam Krigler here.

00:00:33.000 Smash that like button! 0.98

00:00:35.000 I'm sorry, that was too quick.

00:00:37.000 What?

00:00:37.000 Are you kidding me?

00:00:38.000 But it goes to you after me anyway, why would you just jump back to this guy?

00:00:42.000 She didn't want you to be able to say smash the like button.

00:00:46.000 Who doesn't want to smash the like button?

00:00:47.000 There we go.

00:00:48.000 Am I right?

00:00:50.000 I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna get one of these buttons say how dare you but I'm gonna have it's gonna be you saying smash the like button so I can press it.

00:00:56.000 That's good.

00:00:59.000 We should do that.

00:01:00.000 What up everybody?

00:01:01.000 There we go.

00:01:02.000 Oh my goodness.

00:01:02.000 Yes there's also Lydia, right?

00:01:05.000 Oh hey.

00:01:05.000 I'm producing.

00:01:07.000 Oh man, the Libertarian Party has endorsed Black Lives Matter, and part of me wants to laugh, and I have, and the other part of me is kind of sad.

00:01:19.000 Not that the Libertarian Party has done much, but this is actually pretty significant.

00:01:22.000 The Libertarian Party is the third biggest political party.

00:01:24.000 They got four and a half million votes in 2016.

00:01:28.000 And I believe with this tweet, they just freed... So Joe Jorgensen, who's the candidate, just tweeted out support for Black Lives Matter, like a direct call to action, which is... I would say it steps of the line into authoritarianism, which is hilarious for the Libertarian Party. 0.63

00:01:44.000 But this probably freed up a large swath of their votes. 0.87

00:01:47.000 And I have to wonder, does the Libertarian Party want Trump to win?

00:01:51.000 Maybe.

00:01:52.000 Yeah, maybe.

00:01:52.000 Maybe.

00:01:53.000 Maybe they're like, well, we're going to lose.

00:01:55.000 Say something to make sure people vote for Trump instead of us.

00:01:58.000 All right.

00:01:59.000 I endorse Black Lives Matter.

00:02:00.000 Boom.

00:02:02.000 It wasn't just about endorsing Black Lives Matter.

00:02:03.000 It was the overt Call to action which border like it's literally a call to take action, right?

00:02:11.000 So the heart of libertarianism is well, it's essentially leave me alone.

00:02:15.000 Don't tread on me Yeah, and she put out a call saying we must be anti-racist Anti-racism is a specific ideology.

00:02:21.000 Maybe she just didn't realize what she was tweeting but man Got some other weird wokeness emerging urban dictionary has gone woke and is now denouncing their Past existence, I guess?

00:02:37.000 The urban side of them?

00:02:38.000 Yeah, apparently.

00:02:40.000 They can't say urban things anymore for the fear of offending people.

00:02:44.000 Yeah, they basically were like, we're not gonna be a platform for hate speech.

00:02:48.000 Oh man, these are trying times, but you know, maybe this is all going to push us to critical mass, where regular people are being squeezed so hard they just burst.

00:03:02.000 Like, how much pressure can this country take, you know what I mean?

00:03:05.000 And I have to imagine when you see that the dictionary, so it's not just Urban Dictionary, like the regular old dictionary is now saying the word homosexuality.

00:03:13.000 That word.

00:03:14.000 Offensive.

00:03:14.000 Can't say it.

00:03:15.000 Oh.

00:03:15.000 Not kidding.

00:03:17.000 Isn't that a thing?

00:03:18.000 Can't say it.

00:03:19.000 But it's a thing, isn't it?

00:03:20.000 Yeah.

00:03:20.000 Homosexuality is a thing.

00:03:21.000 It's a word that defines something.

00:03:24.000 Yes.

00:03:25.000 It's offensive.

00:03:26.000 So sayeth Miriam Webster.

00:03:29.000 I don't think it matters who's defensive, too.

00:03:32.000 Because one person on the internet got offended.

00:03:35.000 That's how they ended up changing the definition of racism.

00:03:37.000 Yeah.

00:03:38.000 Well, hold on, to be fair.

00:03:39.000 I'm sure it was more than one person there.

00:03:41.000 One person got offended on behalf of that one person.

00:03:44.000 Right.

00:03:44.000 And so that was the call to action.

00:03:47.000 And so, you know, we're going to talk about all this stuff, so make sure, if you haven't already, you smash the like button.

00:03:52.000 Smash the subscribe button, the notification bell.

00:03:53.000 And I really do want to stress the like button, because apparently it has a huge impact on YouTube's recommendation algorithm.

00:03:59.000 People have been pointing out that we've been getting recommended way, way more because of the likes.

00:04:02.000 So if you really, really do want to support us, just smash the like button.

00:04:05.000 That's why Adam says it so much.

00:04:07.000 It's almost his catchphrase.

00:04:09.000 But we're also going to talk about, I guess, punk rock and just roll with it, because we're in a social justice, taken over the world kind of day, I suppose.

00:04:16.000 But, uh, other than that, you know, it's a tropical storm outside.

00:04:19.000 I think we all survived.

00:04:20.000 And then, uh, stay tuned, after the show, we're gonna play some music.

00:04:24.000 Adam's got, uh, some whiskey.

00:04:26.000 I don't know where that whiskey came from.

00:04:28.000 I don't know either.

00:04:29.000 What is it?

00:04:30.000 It's, uh, it's called Angel's Envy, and, uh, someone sent it.

00:04:33.000 Oh, cool.

00:04:34.000 So that's, I figured I'd try it right now because, well not right now, but later on.

00:04:41.000 Thank you for whoever sent that this way.

00:04:43.000 There is also a really massive breaking news story that Trump has commuted the sentence of Roger Stone, but The reason we're not really going to get into it is because we don't have all the context pulled up, and to go through his case and Trump's position, the prison sentence and all that stuff, I thought that would be probably too much, because it literally happened like five minutes ago.

00:05:04.000 So I'm like, there's no way we're going to be able to pull up all the sources to verify everything we would need to verify, so we're going to roll with what we got.

00:05:11.000 The Libertarian Party has decided to get woke, and of course, they're backpedaling.

00:05:16.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you now to Jo Jorgensen.

00:05:20.000 She tweeted, Well, following this tweet, there was a major backlash from basically everyone.

00:05:32.000 She got ratioed.

00:05:34.000 Of course, a bunch of internet social justice warriors were on board with this, but Telling the Libertarian Party that you must actively do something is kind of the opposite of what the Libertarian Party is supposed to do.

00:05:48.000 What's her middle name?

00:05:49.000 Is it Karen?

00:05:50.000 It should be.

00:05:50.000 If we find out it's Karen, I'm going to die laughing.

00:05:54.000 I'm sorry, I have to do this.

00:05:55.000 My friends, I give you the ultimate meme.

00:05:58.000 There it is.

00:05:59.000 Been going around for a while, right?

00:06:00.000 This is super old, but it's perfect.

00:06:03.000 So I want to make sure it's clear as we start this segment, when I criticize the Libertarian candidates, it's not unique to Joe Jorgensen or the current party leaders, because this meme, for those that are listening, shows a beautiful, majestic fox Taxidermied.

00:06:21.000 for which it says underneath libertarian ideas.

00:06:24.000 And then the next image is this weird, scraggly Muppet looking thing.

00:06:28.000 Taxidermied.

00:06:29.000 Taxidermied, is that what it is?

00:06:30.000 Yeah, he's terribly done now.

00:06:31.000 And it says libertarian candidates.

00:06:34.000 And it is a sad reality that the libertarian party just for some reason can't get a strong candidate.

00:06:40.000 Now Gary Johnson, he was probably as good as they could have gotten in a long time.

00:06:46.000 And then he had his Aleppo moment among other problems.

00:06:49.000 So let this be my, to be fair, disclaimer.

00:06:52.000 The Libertarian Party is not known for putting forth the best candidates.

00:06:58.000 Why can't they do it?

00:06:59.000 I just don't know.

00:07:00.000 I just don't know.

00:07:01.000 And I'll tell you what.

00:07:03.000 So the second tweet Joe Jorgensen sent out after the massive backlash Was, Black Lives Matter means standing in solidarity with a mourning black community as we fight together to end qualified immunity, police brutality, sentencing disparities, and the war on drugs.

00:07:19.000 Not support any organization by that name.

00:07:22.000 This is an overt and outright backpedal for one reason.

00:07:27.000 Calling for people to be anti-racist, saying, we must.

00:07:32.000 Look, man, part of the criticism they're getting is legit.

00:07:35.000 The Libertarian Party saying, they're going from don't tread on me to we must tread.

00:07:41.000 So naturally people are going to be like, yo, don't tell me what to do.

00:07:44.000 But anti-racism has an overt philosophy.

00:07:47.000 More importantly, They've actually tweeted this out, which contradicts what their actual goals are.

00:07:54.000 Libertarian-in-chief.

00:07:56.000 This is Todd Hagopian.

00:07:58.000 He's a 2020 Oklahoma Corporation Commission candidate, libertarian activist, chairman of the Northeast Oklahoma Region LP, successful businessman, he says.

00:08:06.000 And in this 3.5 rights and discrimination from the party platform, they straight up say, That we reject the idea that a natural right can ever impose an obligation upon others to fulfill that right.

00:08:20.000 Let me break this down for y'all.

00:08:22.000 The Libertarian Party has just asserted you must take action to fulfill positive rights.

00:08:30.000 Positive rights specifically mean that you must do a thing to fulfill it, versus negative rights where you can't do a thing.

00:08:37.000 Libertarians typically believe, for the most part, in negative rights.

00:08:40.000 Like, if you have a negative civil right, it means no one can infringe upon your civil rights.

00:08:45.000 A positive civil right means you must take action to fulfill and guarantee.

00:08:50.000 So this is where the big problem comes in when anti-racism is quite literally an ideology that says you must be actively conscious about racism, ending racism, taking actions to end inequities in daily lives.

00:09:05.000 And it specifically refers to actions white people must take that everyone else mustn't. 0.53

00:09:11.000 Just like they're doing in Seattle right now.

00:09:12.000 All white people need to go take this anti-racism training. 0.63

00:09:17.000 You know about this?

00:09:18.000 Boom.

00:09:19.000 Only white people though. 0.82

00:09:20.000 Yep. 0.97

00:09:20.000 Only if you're white. 0.97

00:09:21.000 And they tell you you have to undo your whiteness.

00:09:23.000 So, I'll be fair.

00:09:26.000 Maybe Jo Jorgensen did not know what she was talking about.

00:09:29.000 Definitely not.

00:09:30.000 But maybe then she should tweet out, I didn't know what I was talking about and that was a mistake.

00:09:33.000 But she doubled down. 1.00

00:09:34.000 But she doubled down. 1.00

00:09:37.000 Anti-racism, you can look this up, it's not a new thing.

00:09:41.000 It's an ideology that's been held for a long time.

00:09:45.000 It's like, if you say you oppose racism, that is different from being an anti-racist.

00:09:51.000 Like, I think racism is bad?

00:09:53.000 I personally land on the side of, I think businesses should accommodate the public and should not be able to discriminate for a variety of reasons, because I am not a libertarian.

00:10:04.000 I'm a liberal, meaning I typically believe for the most part in liberty, but there are some things where I agree we have to figure out how to work together, and sometimes you gotta say, listen, you know, to give you this specific example, and I'll try and make it simple because it'll probably go on for too long.

00:10:18.000 If you're in a public place, funded by public funds and public taxes, I understand some people don't agree with taxes, but for the time being, if I'm putting in my money for the roads, the electrical, for the plumbing, the infrastructure, the police, the fire department, the national security, Then I don't think it's fair that you get to benefit from my contributions but then deny me services when you're using infrastructure.

00:10:41.000 That's kind of my position.

00:10:42.000 So I do think there's an argument there if you're in a more rural place, unincorporated or something, or you have a private business, or you have like a consultancy or something.

00:10:52.000 My position mostly falls upon brick and mortar and like the use of public places.

00:10:57.000 But for the Libertarian Party, they don't think businesses should be allowed, should have to adhere to any of this stuff.

00:11:04.000 So that brings me to, I believe this is, yes, Michael Malice.

00:11:08.000 I tweeted, I think Michael Malice just shattered the brain of the Libertarian presidential candidate because he asked, as the Libertarian candidate for president, do you support the repeal of anti-discrimination laws?

00:11:20.000 She didn't answer.

00:11:22.000 Because if she does, and she answers what she really thinks, I don't know.

00:11:28.000 Hold on.

00:11:28.000 then she would get torn up. They just boxed themselves into a corner and I got to say it

00:11:31.000 really does feel like they're not, I'm sorry man, they've just done themselves in. I think at this

00:11:38.000 point we are going to see a massive number of voters flock to Donald Trump. I don't know,

00:11:44.000 hold on, hold on, before we move on from that, at the same time, didn't they just, in California,

00:11:50.000 Yeah.

00:11:51.000 Didn't they like change their civil rights so you can discriminate? 0.99

00:11:56.000 So almost that is very libertarian of California, right?

00:12:00.000 Arguably, yes.

00:12:03.000 It almost feels like she's just pandering to that crowd now.

00:12:07.000 Well, obviously she is, but it's specifically about the rights and discrimination.

00:12:13.000 That's what they're doing in many of these places.

00:12:15.000 They're allowing people to discriminate again.

00:12:18.000 Maybe that's what people want.

00:12:20.000 Maybe that would be... I don't even know what the answers are going to be.

00:12:26.000 Seems like she is pandering to them and it's working.

00:12:30.000 It is.

00:12:30.000 For some.

00:12:31.000 So if we now have the Democratic Party... But not the Libertarians.

00:12:35.000 The Libertarians are pissed.

00:12:36.000 Oh, I know.

00:12:37.000 Right.

00:12:38.000 So here's what I'm saying, right?

00:12:39.000 Check this out.

00:12:39.000 This is 2016.

00:12:41.000 Gary Johnson got 4.488931.

00:12:44.000 4,480,931 votes.

00:12:46.000 This is after the Aleppo.

00:12:48.000 This is the result of it.

00:12:49.000 So how many of these 4 million, first of all, will actually hear that she tweeted out support for Black Lives Matter?

00:12:55.000 I heard it.

00:12:56.000 But you're active on Twitter.

00:12:57.000 Yeah, I voted for Gary Johnson.

00:12:59.000 Were you planning on voting for the Libertarian Party?

00:13:02.000 I will not tell anyone who was even thinking about voting for it, because I don't know yet.

00:13:07.000 I was considering it.

00:13:08.000 Are you now?

00:13:09.000 No.

00:13:10.000 That's not libertarian!

00:13:12.000 How could you say something like that?

00:13:13.000 It's the opposite.

00:13:14.000 Telling people what they must do.

00:13:16.000 I don't like it.

00:13:18.000 Yeah, because the way I think about it is, for the libertarian party, it's like libertarianism acknowledges that other people believe other things.

00:13:27.000 To tell someone what they must do or believe is the antithesis of libertarianism.

00:13:33.000 Yeah, I don't like anyone telling me what to think or believe.

00:13:37.000 I don't like it at all.

00:13:38.000 I have the right to disagree with you.

00:13:40.000 You have the right to disagree with me.

00:13:42.000 We can talk about it, civilly.

00:13:44.000 I'm cool with that.

00:13:44.000 That's how I roll.

00:13:46.000 So now we have the Democratic Party and the Libertarian Party and they're embracing intersectionalism.

00:13:53.000 Now I wonder if they'll try and backpedal on this because they're not going to win support from progressives.

00:13:58.000 That's insane.

00:13:59.000 What do they think was going to happen?

00:14:00.000 That like Antifa is going to be like, oh, hey, yeah, that settles it.

00:14:03.000 I guess I'll vote for the Libertarian Party now because they believe in like, I guess because they agree with them on police brutality stuff.

00:14:11.000 Antifa's like the attack dog of the Democratic Party.

00:14:18.000 Maybe that's not a fact, but that's just what I believe.

00:14:21.000 That's what I'm seeing.

00:14:22.000 They're not going to go libertarian.

00:14:24.000 They're going to vote for Democrats because that's what they were told.

00:14:27.000 No, Antifa hates Democrats.

00:14:28.000 Really?

00:14:29.000 But they would vote for Bernie if Bernie was a Democrat.

00:14:31.000 Ah, okay.

00:14:31.000 Now that Joe Biden and Bernie have done the unity party thing, you might see a lot of these people be like, I'll take it.

00:14:37.000 Like, take the concession because you'll get some wins.

00:14:40.000 I mean, are they gonna be on the ticket?

00:14:41.000 This unity party?

00:14:43.000 So, no, it's not Unity Party.

00:14:46.000 It's actually really funny that, you know, Brett Weinstein did the Unity Party thing, and then Joe Biden and Bernie announced their Unity Platform to unify the progressives and the corporate dems.

00:14:56.000 Unity Platform.

00:14:57.000 Well, basically what happens is they're not advocating directly for Medicare for All.

00:15:03.000 They're advocating for a path to Medicare for All.

00:15:06.000 But they're advocating for a strong public option that would automatically enroll low-income people into a deductible-free, government-paid healthcare program, which I'm like, sounds like Medicare for All!

00:15:20.000 So it's basically like saying, if you're poor, free healthcare.

00:15:22.000 If you're not poor, suck it up and pay for it.

00:15:25.000 So here's what we— Look, man.

00:15:27.000 You know what?

00:15:27.000 I can't help but be a little pessimistic.

00:15:30.000 You've got the Libertarian Party embracing this stuff?

00:15:33.000 Oh, man.

00:15:35.000 Everything is broken.

00:15:36.000 You know, we had that story of the NBC guy who claimed that he had COVID.

00:15:40.000 Yeah.

00:15:40.000 And then it came out that he just made the whole thing up.

00:15:42.000 No, no.

00:15:44.000 I read about it.

00:15:44.000 It wasn't that he didn't.

00:15:45.000 He was sick, but he was just saying, well, I've got COVID.

00:15:49.000 I've got COVID.

00:15:50.000 And it turns out, no, he didn't.

00:15:52.000 It was just regular pneumonia, which exists without COVID.

00:15:56.000 And that's what it was.

00:15:57.000 So they blew it out of proportion.

00:15:58.000 Probably the same thing.

00:15:59.000 Yeah.

00:16:00.000 I mean, he probably didn't even have any sickness because I don't believe anything comes out of that man's mouth.

00:16:05.000 He got food poisoning and was like, COVID!

00:16:07.000 Here's my chance!

00:16:08.000 Let's extort this.

00:16:09.000 He ate a soggy burrito from the back of the fridge, got sick, and was like, oh, what do I do?

00:16:14.000 No, more likely he stubbed his toe.

00:16:16.000 Yeah.

00:16:17.000 Walking up the stairs, ah!

00:16:18.000 And then he looked at the bump and said, COVID toes.

00:16:21.000 COVID toes.

00:16:22.000 Yeah, COVID toes is a real thing for those who don't know.

00:16:24.000 People are getting blisters on their toes and stuff.

00:16:26.000 Weird.

00:16:26.000 But listen, here's how I see it.

00:16:29.000 If the Libertarian Party just made the, like, this is their Aleppo moment.

00:16:32.000 This is seriously the Aleppo moment for the Libertarians.

00:16:35.000 I wonder if, because Gary Johnson had the Aleppo moment, they may have already lost some of these votes.

00:16:43.000 And I don't think Libertarians are guaranteed to go Republican.

00:16:46.000 I think they're just slightly more likely, because they might take, like, I guess I'll accept some things they offer.

00:16:53.000 But most of the people I know who are into the Libertarian Party are like socially progressive in some ways.

00:17:00.000 But it's a unique thing.

00:17:01.000 It's its own thing.

00:17:02.000 I don't think they'll go for the Democrats because the Democrats are authoritarian, big government, and ideological.

00:17:08.000 But here's what I think.

00:17:10.000 Gary Johnson's Aleppo moment, for those that aren't familiar, was when he was being interviewed in 2016.

00:17:14.000 It was a 2016 cycle, so it might have been 2015.

00:17:16.000 He was asked what he would do about Aleppo, and he said, and what is Aleppo?

00:17:21.000 And for those that don't know, it's a city in Syria that was being under siege, ISIS and all that stuff.

00:17:25.000 And everybody in the politicosphere was like, What?

00:17:30.000 This dude's running for president?

00:17:32.000 And then so they had to explain it to him, and he went, oh, oh, yeah, Syria, oh, okay, well.

00:17:36.000 And that was like a huge gaffe for them.

00:17:39.000 I gotta be honest, though, that probably generated the dude a ton of press.

00:17:43.000 People who didn't know about him before all of a sudden were like, well, I'm not gonna blame him for not knowing the name of that city.

00:17:47.000 But I'm not gonna vote for him.

00:17:49.000 Well, some people probably were like, I'll vote for him.

00:17:51.000 Well, four mil, four mil, 4.488.

00:17:53.000 So here's what I'm thinking, man.

00:17:56.000 The endorsement of Black Lives Matter and the call to direct action, that I think is going to cost them bigger than they've... I agree. 0.99

00:18:05.000 I definitely agree with you.

00:18:07.000 I think if you went to every single person voting Libertarian, 95% would walk away upon hearing she did this.

00:18:15.000 I could be wrong.

00:18:16.000 Maybe people in the comments will be like, no, no, that's fine.

00:18:18.000 We love what she's saying, but I really don't think so.

00:18:20.000 I'm not seeing a lot of that.

00:18:21.000 No, people are... Not on Twitter.

00:18:22.000 Not on Twitter, no.

00:18:23.000 The Libertarians are like... 1.00

00:18:25.000 I have yet to see anyone that likes that she said that.

00:18:29.000 Well, the left does.

00:18:30.000 I'm seeing Antifa be like, here, here, we won't vote for you, but thanks for the endorsement.

00:18:36.000 People are pointing out that if you actually look up anti-racism, it is this intersectionalism ideology condemning white people.

00:18:46.000 Like you mentioned, in Seattle, they're doing trainings where white people are being told to undo whiteness.

00:18:52.000 This just blows me away.

00:18:53.000 It's like, instead of letting racism die off, they want it on the forefront of everybody's mind.

00:19:01.000 And that's the opposite.

00:19:02.000 They're trying to perpetuate it.

00:19:04.000 They don't want it to go away.

00:19:06.000 They want to be able to have this tool to use as an emotional trigger for people nowadays.

00:19:12.000 Like, I've been researching so much about racism nowadays, you know?

00:19:18.000 And it's like, it really is not...

00:19:21.000 It's not as prevalent as they're making it out to be.

00:19:24.000 It's not.

00:19:24.000 It just simply isn't.

00:19:26.000 Can we create an ideology and movement based on Terry Crews?

00:19:30.000 Terry Crews' ideas matter.

00:19:32.000 He's great.

00:19:33.000 Terry Crews' ideas matter.

00:19:35.000 So for those that don't know, Terry Crews said, like, I don't care about the color of your skin, basically, you know, good people of all kinds, we got to come together.

00:19:42.000 He said we can't have Black Lives Matter become Black Lives Better, and he got attacked for it.

00:19:47.000 And then Don Lemon even was like, you walked into this, you should have known.

00:19:51.000 And he's like, you should have thick skin.

00:19:53.000 I've got thick skin, look what I've got.

00:19:55.000 And it's like, okay, well you were saying the exact same things that Terry Crews is advocating for seven years ago.

00:20:01.000 Actually, whoa.

00:20:01.000 Yeah, you're right, you're right.

00:20:03.000 Way worse.

00:20:04.000 I didn't even say anything and you're like, wait, I know what you're saying.

00:20:06.000 Way, way worse things.

00:20:08.000 Terry was calling for equality, saying like, let's just all be equal.

00:20:11.000 Let everyone come to the table and have a conversation.

00:20:14.000 Don Lemon, that was not what he was saying.

00:20:16.000 He was like, pull your pants up.

00:20:20.000 His words!

00:20:22.000 Verbatim, he said that.

00:20:24.000 That was the number one thing on his list.

00:20:26.000 He said a bunch of things that can get us in trouble.

00:20:29.000 Targeting a specific racial group that he is a part of.

00:20:32.000 That's all I'm going to say.

00:20:34.000 Over cultural behaviors that exist among other races.

00:20:39.000 That's the issue.

00:20:40.000 Now you can argue, when it came to Don Lemon, that Don Lemon was talking specifically about his community.

00:20:48.000 But if you stripped, if you just took the words and put them on any other platform, you'd get banned outright.

00:20:56.000 I suppose you can say Don Lemon is speaking from experience.

00:20:59.000 That's why it was acceptable back then.

00:21:01.000 But he was saying Bill O'Reilly doesn't go far enough.

00:21:03.000 Yeah, Bill O'Reilly, actually, if we're going to get into the details, he was the one who was talking about what Terry was talking about.

00:21:09.000 How the family The family unit is really important and we need to really glorify the family unit because people are falling out and then they don't have that structure they don't have that that solid rock of what a family can give to people and Then then he was like, oh that's not far enough.

00:21:27.000 Yeah, then he was like, I'm gonna I'm gonna Well, so here's what I want to bring this up, because there's a meme.

00:21:31.000 It's a photo, I guess it's a kind of meme.

00:21:33.000 Check out this photo.

00:21:34.000 I don't know where it's from, but you recognize it.

00:21:39.000 For those that are listening, it is the Black Lives Matter Revolution fist strangling the Gadsden rattlesnake. 0.92

00:21:46.000 And it says, we will tread.

00:21:48.000 This is amazing to me, because You know, when I showed this to my friends who are pro-Black Lives Matter lefties, they said, that doesn't mean they're authoritarians.

00:21:59.000 And I said, what do you think it means?

00:22:00.000 And they said, the Gadsden flag is used by racists.

00:22:04.000 So they're just pointing out that, you know, they're going to stop racism.

00:22:08.000 How does that make sense?

00:22:09.000 It doesn't.

00:22:10.000 It's an excuse.

00:22:11.000 It's them being like, let me try and figure out how to justify this.

00:22:14.000 Based on what we saw from Joe Jorgensen, you can really start to understand the differences between, like, the core of what it means for libertarianism versus authoritarianism.

00:22:24.000 Saying, we will tread.

00:22:26.000 It's literally a part of what they do.

00:22:29.000 They say, we must do this.

00:22:30.000 We must be active.

00:22:31.000 We must tell people they have to do this.

00:22:33.000 We must police.

00:22:33.000 We must cancel culture.

00:22:35.000 We must do all these things.

00:22:36.000 We will police.

00:22:37.000 We will shut you down.

00:22:39.000 They say, there's another one that's an anarchist flag and it's a mongoose eating a snake saying, I tread where I please.

00:22:45.000 Again, overtly authoritarian.

00:22:48.000 It's amazing to me how these people fly the colors red and black, which is the symbol for anarchism and labor, I think.

00:22:55.000 Yet they're overtly authoritarian.

00:22:57.000 This is not anarchism.

00:22:59.000 It's fascism.

00:23:01.000 Borderline.

00:23:02.000 It's getting there.

00:23:03.000 So the thing about fascism is that there's a kind of traditionalism associated with it, but the core of fascism and the Black Lives Matter fist is the exact same thing. 0.76

00:23:12.000 So for those that are not familiar, the fascist is a symbol of fascism and it is a bundle of sticks with like an axe.

00:23:19.000 It's a weapon.

00:23:20.000 And the idea was that all of those sticks tied together made a more powerful weapon.

00:23:25.000 The Black Lives Matter fist originated, I could be wrong about this, but it's from the Spanish Civil War where we saw the rise of communism and fascism.

00:23:33.000 The whole idea between the two groups was that we were stronger with unity.

00:23:38.000 And so the revolution fist was each individual finger coming together to be strong.

00:23:43.000 That's why they would hold up their fist.

00:23:47.000 Fascism specifically fell among certain groups that were considered to be more... It was like tradition versus progress.

00:23:53.000 That was like really the difference, I think, if you look at it now.

00:23:56.000 Of course, asking a historian will give you way more nuance in this conversation.

00:24:00.000 But if you look at the current understanding of fascism versus authoritarian communism, or the far left, The people who are, you know, as they describe far right authoritarian, believe in traditional family structures.

00:24:11.000 They believe in a wife, you know, being home to raise the kids. 0.99

00:24:15.000 Things like that.

00:24:17.000 They want the good old days, stuff like that.

00:24:19.000 If you look at the far left, they want to destroy the family structure, and they want complete hardcore progressivism.

00:24:25.000 Destroying old traditions.

00:24:26.000 Down with the patriarchy, is like one of the top on the list of the movement.

00:24:31.000 That's actually a really good, easy way to explain it.

00:24:34.000 The far left says no patriarchy and fascism says patriarchy.

00:24:37.000 But they're both authoritarian structures.

00:24:40.000 That's why I think people often say they're fascists.

00:24:43.000 Because they do so much of the same thing.

00:24:45.000 In fact, there's a famous anthropologist associated with Occupy Wall Street who said a certain sect of the left gaining prominence has adopted fascistic philosophies to gain power.

00:24:57.000 And one of those philosophies is, quote, there is no truth but power.

00:25:02.000 And that's what we're seeing now.

00:25:03.000 So, when you look at them flying a flag saying, we will tread, think about what that means.

00:25:09.000 We are going to take an action against you.

00:25:11.000 Then take a look at what Jo Jorgensen said.

00:25:14.000 We must be actively anti-racist.

00:25:17.000 And you look at what anti-racism means, specifically, that you must take action to end racial inequities.

00:25:24.000 She is literally saying, we all must engage in an action against other people's beliefs.

00:25:30.000 Yep, that's true.

00:25:31.000 Asserting her moral authority.

00:25:33.000 There's another big piece to this.

00:25:35.000 I gotta tell you, man, I'm obsessed with the fact that they tweeted this out because I politically fall on the libertarian side of things, though I'm not overtly, realistically when it comes to policy, I wouldn't consider myself to be a libertarian liberal.

00:25:50.000 But telling someone that their ideas are wrong is moral authoritarianism.

00:25:56.000 Yep.

00:25:56.000 Straight up.

00:25:57.000 If I said, you're wearing a muse- tattoos!

00:26:01.000 Tattoos are wrong, and I will actively resist all tattoos, and I will fight- like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:26:07.000 I'm gonna let you do your thing.

00:26:08.000 You know what I mean?

00:26:09.000 I like my tattoos.

00:26:10.000 You know what?

00:26:11.000 I have my opinions about, uh, I don't know, veganism.

00:26:15.000 It's a good, it's a, it's a, it's a good one.

00:26:16.000 Sure.

00:26:17.000 And I don't care if you choose to eat whatever you want.

00:26:19.000 I don't care.

00:26:20.000 I'm, I'm a very libertarian vegan.

00:26:22.000 And there are a lot, there are authoritarian vegans.

00:26:23.000 Like PETA.

00:26:24.000 I can't stand those.

00:26:26.000 They piss me off.

00:26:27.000 It's like, you can't shove ideology down people's throats.

00:26:30.000 It doesn't work.

00:26:31.000 Now imagine if you heard someone say, we must be actively anti-carnivore.

00:26:37.000 That's like, whoa, whoa, don't tell people what they have to eat, what they can or can't eat, you know what I mean? 0.94

00:26:41.000 Right, it's ridiculous. 0.99

00:26:42.000 That's crazy. 0.99

00:26:43.000 The libertarian, so... That's not going to change anything.

00:26:46.000 That's going to make people want to go out and, I don't know, most people don't even hunt themselves, you know, more respect to obviously the people that do hunt for themselves, but...

00:26:54.000 You know, it's like, you can't expect the world to just change.

00:26:57.000 Same with like fossil fuels.

00:26:58.000 It's like, the world runs on fossil fuels right now.

00:27:01.000 We can't just, like you were talking about, Greta's like, end fossil fuels. 0.99

00:27:05.000 And it's like, how dare you?

00:27:07.000 Right.

00:27:07.000 You know, we can't just turn the, turn the switch off.

00:27:11.000 The society would crumble apart and we would all probably starve within a year.

00:27:16.000 I just, I just, I just, I can't even.

00:27:18.000 You hear that?

00:27:19.000 Yes.

00:27:19.000 I can't even.

00:27:20.000 Literally can't even.

00:27:20.000 Literally, literally, literally can't even.

00:27:22.000 I'm not going to say it.

00:27:23.000 There was, uh, I see this Facebook post from basically every single lefty friend I have where they're like, why are we trying to reopen businesses?

00:27:33.000 Just pay the businesses.

00:27:34.000 And I'm like, oh, these children, these uninformed, poor, naive children.

00:27:42.000 Could you imagine?

00:27:43.000 That's the true pandemic that's going on in this country.

00:27:46.000 Like the little kids? 0.89

00:27:46.000 Ignorance. 0.89

00:27:47.000 You know what I think it is?

00:27:50.000 I don't know if it was you mentioning this, but people have access to speak.

00:27:55.000 They have these platforms now.

00:27:56.000 Yeah, I said it yesterday.

00:27:57.000 Marcellus Wiley was originally saying it.

00:28:01.000 I was echoing it out, yeah.

00:28:04.000 have always existed. Absolutely. Everybody is ignorant to a certain degree. It's true that

00:28:09.000 some people are more knowledgeable than others. And in fact, some people are more intelligent

00:28:14.000 in terms of like their ability to understand and, and, and, uh, you know, break things down

00:28:18.000 and rebuild today because of social media, we have leveled the playing field, which is good

00:28:25.000 in many, many ways because it upsets the power structure.

00:28:28.000 It was a problem when our media was controlled by people just because they were wealthy.

00:28:34.000 And it was like, we had a better system in America than we've had in a long time, because class used to be based on your birth.

00:28:40.000 Now we literally had upward mobility with the rise of this new world.

00:28:45.000 But you still had people born into wealth, so class still existed, and it was still mostly about, you know, if you wanted a job... And this is still true for the big news outlets.

00:28:53.000 I would say the overwhelming majority of the people who work for mainstream media come from very wealthy families, or relatively wealthy families.

00:28:59.000 Yeah, they gotta try to maintain that control.

00:29:01.000 Well, so here's how it works in New York.

00:29:04.000 Nobody.

00:29:04.000 If you want to get a job at the New York Times, you have to do some kind of low-paid internship.

00:29:08.000 It used to be unpaid.

00:29:10.000 Who can afford to live in New York for $10 an hour?

00:29:13.000 Nobody.

00:29:14.000 Exactly.

00:29:15.000 Unless your parents pay your bills.

00:29:16.000 That's true.

00:29:17.000 So this means that poor people never get into these positions.

00:29:20.000 But this also means, and it's also important to say, just because you're rich doesn't mean

00:29:25.000 you're smart.

00:29:26.000 So there was a tendency of people who were educated to work at these outlets, but now we have access to the internet. 0.99

00:29:33.000 Every single person, no matter how stupid or smart they are, has the same access. 0.95

00:29:38.000 Now there's some good news here, meritocracy. 0.99

00:29:40.000 Smart people, and well, a combination of smart and hard work, and your voice will be louder than many others. 0.99

00:29:48.000 But it is hard to rise above when you are surrounded by a bunch of really dumb people. 0.99

00:29:53.000 And now what do we get? 1.00

00:29:55.000 Man, and they're clustering up too. 0.98

00:29:57.000 So you get those dumb people that have this platform called the internet and they blast something out there. 0.99

00:30:03.000 And then you get all those other ignorant people that also don't really understand things, but it kind of, it proves their point. 0.99

00:30:09.000 They're like, yeah, that proves my point. 0.95

00:30:10.000 I'm going to shout it out. 0.98

00:30:11.000 And then it goes to another circle of ignorant people and then it just spreads the ignorance around. 0.98

00:30:16.000 Yup. 0.93

00:30:17.000 So then what do we end up seeing? 1.00

00:30:19.000 Facebook has devolved into a place where stupid people screenshot tweets for half-baked political ideas and then just post them. 0.99

00:30:26.000 Or just pass along like memes that have stats on them. 1.00

00:30:32.000 Yeah.

00:30:33.000 Like I saw one today about Trump's approval rating.

00:30:36.000 Someone was posting it up.

00:30:37.000 You know, it's like, it's at an all time low.

00:30:40.000 And I'm, I'm like, where'd that info come from?

00:30:42.000 I don't know.

00:30:44.000 No, no response at all.

00:30:45.000 And I'm like, hmm, I'll do some digging.

00:30:48.000 Sure enough, it wasn't real.

00:30:50.000 And I'm like, this is where you all are getting your news. 1.00

00:30:54.000 You're an embarrassment. 1.00

00:30:56.000 You're an embarrassment. 1.00

00:30:57.000 I can't believe you're my friend. 0.96

00:30:58.000 It's exactly like this conversation we've had several times where we mentioned, you know, some dude on Twitter, it was a Yang supporter, when I was talking about if the economy grinds to a halt and no products are being made, then what do you do with the money anyway?

00:31:13.000 The food comes from the store, Tim.

00:31:14.000 Exactly.

00:31:15.000 The food comes from the store.

00:31:16.000 Luke grows on the shelves.

00:31:17.000 Like, when you were a little kid, and your parents just came with stuff, as far as you could tell, they could just have anything they wanted.

00:31:24.000 And I think it's funny, because, like, little kids really do this mentality that, when I'm an adult, I'm gonna have, like, three Playstations, and I'm gonna eat nothing but cookie dough.

00:31:34.000 Like, all the things they wish they could have and they want, they think parents can just get.

00:31:39.000 And then they get older and they realize, like, what's all this other stuff I gotta deal with?

00:31:43.000 Taxes?

00:31:45.000 No one taught me taxes!

00:31:47.000 Yeah, seriously.

00:31:47.000 Why aren't we taught taxes?

00:31:50.000 That's a good question.

00:31:50.000 Why is that not a class in all schools?

00:31:52.000 Everyone deals with taxes.

00:31:54.000 You have to pay taxes.

00:31:55.000 Why don't we get taught how to understand them, what they go towards?

00:32:00.000 What is going on?

00:32:02.000 Clearly we need some reforms, you know.

00:32:04.000 That brings me to this meme.

00:32:06.000 This meme.

00:32:07.000 There's a meme?

00:32:07.000 No, you know, before we move on.

00:32:08.000 Yeah, it's great.

00:32:09.000 I'm not really moving on.

00:32:11.000 Yeah, it's great.

00:32:12.000 I just don't want to lose this thought.

00:32:15.000 It's people, what really annoys me is that if you disagree in one thing, it's like suddenly they put you in this bracket that you disagree with every single thing that they believe.

00:32:26.000 And that is another thing.

00:32:27.000 It's not just ignorance.

00:32:29.000 It's the disallowance of not letting anybody, if they disagree with one thing, you suddenly now, you don't agree with me at all, so you're just the enemy.

00:32:41.000 And you know, it's more of this division.

00:32:42.000 They're dividing us. 0.97

00:32:44.000 And it's ridiculous. 0.94

00:32:45.000 And you're driving a conversation, but they want the anger. 0.82

00:32:48.000 Right, they want the anger and you've already been put in this bracket of you don't agree with me with this one little tiny minor thing.

00:32:55.000 So civil conversation's gone.

00:32:57.000 You can't even have a conversation with them anymore.

00:32:59.000 It's just, you disagree with every single thing I say.

00:33:02.000 Did you just say all lives matter? 0.99

00:33:04.000 Oh, so you're a racist and you think black lives don't matter. 0.95

00:33:07.000 And it's like, no, no one thinks that. 0.99

00:33:09.000 They're trying to tell you.

00:33:12.000 It's two people trying to convince each other that the sky is blue.

00:33:15.000 That's what I'm seeing.

00:33:16.000 It's like, Lives, in general, really don't matter.

00:33:22.000 We're all dust. 0.59

00:33:23.000 We're all gonna die. 0.92

00:33:24.000 That's a reality.

00:33:26.000 Like, I've seen a lot of death in my life.

00:33:27.000 I've been around a lot of close people to me have died, so I've seen it.

00:33:31.000 A lot of people don't even see it.

00:33:33.000 So when it does happen to them, the emotions flare, and if they're not, you know, in a sound place, then it just flares out of control.

00:33:42.000 Some of these people take this to a dark place, though, and it makes them negative nihilists, I call it.

00:33:48.000 People who believe that, you know what?

00:33:51.000 This is it.

00:33:52.000 It doesn't matter.

00:33:53.000 I won't be alive to see it, so why bother?

00:33:56.000 I once had a conversation with a hardcore Antifa, SJW person, someone I know back from Occupy Wall Street,

00:34:01.000 who used to go on Twitter and just rag on me.

00:34:03.000 And I was like, why is this person attacking me on Twitter all the time?

00:34:06.000 I don't get it.

00:34:07.000 And we both had comparable followings at the time.

00:34:10.000 And so one day, through the fact that, I mean, we're in similar circles, like during Occupy Wall Street,

00:34:16.000 we ended up at the same place and we had a conversation.

00:34:18.000 And it turned out that this individual was actually incredibly intelligent.

00:34:23.000 And we had a conversation about liberty, freedom, rights, and we 100% agreed on everything.

00:34:30.000 Even philosophy.

00:34:31.000 And I was like, wow.

00:34:33.000 So why is it that I'm all about helping, you know, trying to inform people, let them make the right choices and live freely, and you're all about, you know, destroying the system?

00:34:41.000 And this person told me, I take sort of this nihilistic understanding of the universe in a positive direction.

00:34:49.000 The only meaning that exists is the meaning we give our existence.

00:34:54.000 That means I can't tell you the meaning of life, but I do know that I will do my best to help you fulfill your existence.

00:35:02.000 So it's like I've chosen what my meaning is.

00:35:04.000 Yeah.

00:35:05.000 Make your life matter.

00:35:06.000 Prove it matters.

00:35:09.000 Right, so it's like you make your own meaning almost.

00:35:11.000 The other person said, it's pointless to even go that far.

00:35:14.000 Wouldn't it be more fun just to watch the whole thing burn to the ground?

00:35:18.000 So this is somebody who right now is still prominent.

00:35:21.000 I believe writing books, published in major papers. 0.95

00:35:24.000 Pretending to care about racism who told me explicitly, I just want to see it all burn.

00:35:29.000 Cause it's funny. 0.97

00:35:30.000 Literally the joker.

00:35:32.000 Yeah.

00:35:32.000 And I was like, that's sad to me.

00:35:34.000 That's evil.

00:35:35.000 Like you, you know what you're doing.

00:35:37.000 And my thing is like, how can I make more people feel good?

00:35:40.000 And your thing is how can I cause more suffering?

00:35:42.000 I'm not exaggerating.

00:35:43.000 It was literally like, but isn't it more fun just to watch it all like break apart and collapse.

00:35:48.000 Right.

00:35:49.000 And you know, this is another thing.

00:35:50.000 It's like people, when someone says all lives matter, suddenly it's like they think, well, you don't believe that there's bad people out there then?

00:35:58.000 Oh yeah?

00:35:59.000 It's like, no, no, no.

00:36:00.000 Everyone knows that there's bad people that exist. 0.64

00:36:03.000 There's evil humans.

00:36:04.000 People can be terrible.

00:36:07.000 We look at the history of human beings.

00:36:10.000 That is not, I mean, it's not arguable.

00:36:13.000 Like we know it, you know, slavery is terrible.

00:36:16.000 You know, and it's going on today, right now, across the globe.

00:36:20.000 It's happening.

00:36:20.000 They're building your computers.

00:36:22.000 You know, it's like, it exists. 0.94

00:36:23.000 But this is the ignorance of these people. 0.58

00:36:25.000 You're right. 1.00

00:36:26.000 And the ones who actually know, they create stupid, like, it's sophistry, man. 1.00

00:36:33.000 There's people who are smart enough to argue in favor of their fractured ideology to give stupid people what they think is a rebuttal, which isn't. 1.00

00:36:41.000 That comic I often reference, yet you live in society, ooh. 0.98

00:36:45.000 You know, the peasant saying we should improve society somewhere. 0.70

00:36:47.000 It's like, if you're talking about improving society while actively whipping someone, that's a better version of that comic.

00:36:55.000 It's like, no dude, you want to improve society?

00:36:57.000 Put the whip down. 0.76

00:36:58.000 But I'm more effective with my whip.

00:37:00.000 The slaves, they keep working.

00:37:02.000 That's literally what they're doing.

00:37:04.000 I want to improve society.

00:37:05.000 Yeah, for you and the other people with whips, but not for the people who are doing the labor.

00:37:11.000 They pretend.

00:37:12.000 It's a game.

00:37:14.000 Which brings me now to the end.

00:37:15.000 And ignore specifics, too.

00:37:18.000 They ignore anything that doesn't fit in their little hallway of what their life perspective is.

00:37:25.000 They're just like, oh, it doesn't fall into this?

00:37:27.000 Then that doesn't exist.

00:37:29.000 I want to show you some memes.

00:37:31.000 Yeah, go for it, buddy.

00:37:32.000 Because the Libertarian Party, this year at least, is, uh, oof, that boat's sinking.

00:37:38.000 So first, you have the Gadsden flag, which I'm sure most of you are familiar with.

00:37:42.000 It says, Don't Tread on Me.

00:37:44.000 And people have made memes mocking them, and I think they're all very funny.

00:37:47.000 I don't care if you think they're right or wrong.

00:37:49.000 This one I thought was funny.

00:37:50.000 I chose this one because you mentioned taxes or whatever.

00:37:52.000 It is funny, though.

00:37:54.000 We're not taught.

00:37:55.000 No one's taught how to do taxes.

00:37:57.000 You've got to figure it out on your own.

00:37:58.000 It's like, why wouldn't we want people to know about that?

00:38:01.000 It's a sad snake. 1.00

00:38:03.000 Crudely drawn that says, I'm too stupid to understand taxation. 1.00

00:38:08.000 Clearly they're trying to make fun of libertarians who don't like taxes. 0.99

00:38:12.000 I don't care if you agree with it or not, it's a funny picture.

00:38:14.000 That's the point.

00:38:15.000 We're allowed to laugh at things.

00:38:17.000 This one I really love.

00:38:19.000 This one I dedicate to Sargon of Akkad.

00:38:23.000 It's a fancy-looking snake with a cane and a top hat of some sort saying, I do say, mind where you walk, old chap.

00:38:31.000 I love it.

00:38:31.000 That's a great one.

00:38:32.000 But what I'm really getting at is while there are many jokes, I specifically requested the opposite of this.

00:38:38.000 And it's a snake being stepped on.

00:38:40.000 We begin to see the complete and total degradation of, you know, the Libertarian Party, which many of you may be familiar with these memes.

00:38:46.000 First of all, this one's funny.

00:38:47.000 It's a Lego.

00:38:47.000 Don't tread on me.

00:38:48.000 That I definitely won't.

00:38:50.000 Next, we have no step on snack.

00:38:52.000 This was one of the memes that went around.

00:38:54.000 Don't tread on me.

00:38:55.000 No step on snack.

00:38:56.000 It's funny.

00:38:56.000 Ha ha.

00:38:57.000 Then we got steppent.

00:38:59.000 And it's a squiggly line.

00:39:00.000 And finally, don't.

00:39:02.000 This is where I think the Libertarian Party is at right now.

00:39:04.000 Yep.

00:39:05.000 Like, don't.

00:39:07.000 Don't what?

00:39:07.000 I don't know.

00:39:09.000 It just doesn't even make sense.

00:39:11.000 But welcome to, uh, whatever this year is.

00:39:14.000 It could not get crazier.

00:39:16.000 I don't know if like— Woah, don't tempt 2020 to prove you wrong.

00:39:19.000 Okay, okay, hold on.

00:39:19.000 Please.

00:39:20.000 Maybe.

00:39:23.000 Halfway through.

00:39:24.000 You think it couldn't get crazier?

00:39:25.000 No, no, no.

00:39:25.000 Maybe we're over the bell curve, man.

00:39:26.000 Maybe.

00:39:27.000 And we're gonna calm down.

00:39:28.000 I would love to believe that.

00:39:29.000 I would like to think that.

00:39:30.000 Actually, I think if you look at it, the bell curve is the beginning of the year we got gradual craziness.

00:39:38.000 Then it got really crazy, really, really fast.

00:39:41.000 But the far side is the level of craziness is increasing.

00:39:44.000 Oh, no.

00:39:45.000 That's the bell curve is low craziness, maximum craziness.

00:39:49.000 And now we're gonna go down the roller coaster.

00:39:50.000 Well, specific instances, the volume of crazy moments will decrease.

00:39:55.000 The severity of the crazy will increase.

00:39:57.000 Great.

00:40:00.000 I mean, dude, you ready for this next one?

00:40:02.000 Yeah, let's do it.

00:40:05.000 Urban Dictionary.

00:40:06.000 Yeah, there we go.

00:40:07.000 This must be a joke.

00:40:09.000 I'm going to preface this by saying, I believe this is very likely to be a joke.

00:40:15.000 Okay.

00:40:15.000 Satire.

00:40:16.000 I can't tell anymore.

00:40:18.000 Yeah, I hope it is also.

00:40:20.000 So do you know what Urban Dictionary is?

00:40:22.000 Yeah.

00:40:22.000 Do you want to, do you want to?

00:40:24.000 Sure.

00:40:24.000 I mean, it's, it's when you hear a word that some youngins using some savvy, you know, person that is using the new slang and you have no idea what it means.

00:40:35.000 You can check out Urban Dictionary and it'll explain it to you.

00:40:38.000 And it's great.

00:40:39.000 User generated.

00:40:40.000 Yeah.

00:40:41.000 You can, it's, it's great actually.

00:40:43.000 I love it.

00:40:44.000 Everyone I know has used it.

00:40:45.000 Can you check if Florbo is in the Urban Dictionary?

00:40:48.000 I will check.

00:40:48.000 Let me look that up right now.

00:40:49.000 It should be.

00:40:50.000 Yeah, it sure should be.

00:40:51.000 Somebody messaged me that we had to change the spelling to F-L-E-U-R-B-E-A-U-X.

00:41:01.000 Oh my god.

00:41:01.000 Yeah, good call.

00:41:03.000 Fleurbeau.

00:41:04.000 Fleurbeau.

00:41:05.000 Is that French?

00:41:05.000 Yeah, it's in there.

00:41:07.000 Is that French?

00:41:08.000 You did that.

00:41:09.000 I did not do that.

00:41:09.000 I think you did.

00:41:10.000 No, you created Fleurbeau.

00:41:12.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:41:13.000 As a soft... Right, but all you did was just come up with Fleurbeau.

00:41:18.000 Let me read the definition.

00:41:19.000 So by you doing that, you did that.

00:41:21.000 What is the definition?

00:41:21.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:41:22.000 Okay, so Fleurbeau is a proper name to be used in place of a pronoun.

00:41:26.000 Here are some examples.

00:41:27.000 Sam identifies as non-binary with the pronouns they, them.

00:41:31.000 There's a better example of that, though.

00:41:33.000 use of gendered language. John, oh great, Florbo is offended again. I wish that Florbo 0.83

00:41:38.000 would just shut up already. So I'm assuming they're referring to Sam Smith, who was the

00:41:44.000 topic of conversation when we were talking about Florbo's.

00:41:46.000 There's a better example of that though. So the two examples for what Florbo is, for those

00:41:50.000 that don't understand, would be someone says, I am gender non-binary and use they them pronouns.

00:41:59.000 Mr. Shapiro says, I am not a fan and I would prefer not to use language that I don't recognize the ideology behind.

00:42:09.000 However, in agreement to not offend either party, the debate moderator says, I will refer to you both as Florbo.

00:42:16.000 Yep.

00:42:17.000 That way no one has to use a word the other side is trying to make them use.

00:42:22.000 And the Florbo was meant to inspire image of like Kirby or like a fluffy marshmallow man, you know, Florbo or something like that.

00:42:29.000 You know, I think, I think like, you know, Flubber was probably like an inspiration.

00:42:33.000 Sure.

00:42:33.000 It's like what I was thinking of, like a little jelly jiggly man who's happy and fun.

00:42:36.000 And bouncy.

00:42:37.000 And bouncy.

00:42:37.000 And it was supposed to be kind of a not, you know, kind of just like a no one's really going to be mad about it.

00:42:44.000 I don't know.

00:42:45.000 So that was the idea.

00:42:46.000 And Urban Dictionary ended up getting an entry for it.

00:42:49.000 And many people started using the word.

00:42:50.000 The general idea is if you don't know what someone identifies as, instead of getting into a position where they say, actually, my pronouns are, you say Florbo.

00:43:00.000 And if they say my pronouns are whatever, that's fine.

00:43:02.000 Florbo.

00:43:03.000 Florbo is a word that's not part of any whatever.

00:43:07.000 And we can have a non- It was supposed to be like, there's no way to win an argument when there's no fence to sit on, so I made that fence.

00:43:13.000 That's right, he built it.

00:43:14.000 I hammered those fence posts in, and I said, floorbow is the middle.

00:43:18.000 So saith I. Good for you.

00:43:19.000 And it works.

00:43:20.000 Okay, well anyway.

00:43:21.000 It got into Urban Dictionary.

00:43:22.000 Urban Dictionary has thrown in a towel.

00:43:25.000 Oh no.

00:43:25.000 You ready?

00:43:27.000 I'm going to preface this by saying this may be a joke, because Urban Dictionary is like as offensive as they come.

00:43:33.000 But this got published to Facebook.

00:43:35.000 They wrote, 20 years ago, urban dictionary started as a place for

00:43:39.000 everyone to share their language.

00:43:40.000 It was intended to subvert the authority of the traditional dictionary,

00:43:44.000 and to document our messy, weird, and unpredictable language as it evolved.

00:43:47.000 Every day, regular people add thousands of definitions, making it a living cultural document.

00:43:53.000 Since 1999, our community has written over 12 million definitions.

00:43:57.000 We're proud that Urban Dictionary has become a source of laughter and an irreplaceable reference made by and for the people.

00:44:04.000 But over the years, online discourse has changed, and so have the words we're receiving.

00:44:09.000 Like other online platforms, we've been inundated by hate speech and abusive content targeting women, BIPOC, And LGBTQIA+, and other vulnerable groups.

00:44:24.000 Hate speech and abusive content online can cause real harm offline.

00:44:29.000 It can also make people feel unsafe to speak up and share their language, silencing entire groups of people.

00:44:35.000 This is not what we want for our platform to be for.

00:44:38.000 I'm going to pause right there and say, therefore, we're going to be silencing large groups of people!

00:44:42.000 Hahaha.

00:44:42.000 Anyway, they go on.

00:44:44.000 Urban Dictionary plays an important role in defining language on the internet and popular culture.

00:44:49.000 To do this right and to earn the role you've entrusted us with, we need to make sure our system measures up to our values.

00:44:55.000 The site has always been a place for people who define the messier edges of language, but we can't allow to foster hate.

00:45:01.000 Words matter.

00:45:02.000 It's kind of our whole thing here, but actions matter more.

00:45:06.000 So now we have bullet points.

00:45:08.000 We will not allow Urban Dictionary to be a home for hate speech and abusive content.

00:45:13.000 We support the work of Black Lives Matter to dismantle systemic racism.

00:45:16.000 We accept our own responsibility to fight racism and hate and acknowledge that we have failed to keep abusive content off the site.

00:45:22.000 We take this work seriously, and it is our priority.

00:45:25.000 We are reviewing our core processes on how words are added, reviewed, published, and removed.

00:45:30.000 We are investing in technology and human review to better enforce our standards.

00:45:34.000 We'll post updates on our progress here.

00:45:36.000 We will change as hate speech changes.

00:45:38.000 No single fix will work forever.

00:45:41.000 Hate speech and abusive content will evolve, and we are committed to changing our policies to meet it.

00:45:46.000 As we rethink the dictionary, we want to hear from you.

00:45:48.000 Urban Dictionary is written by you, and we want you to be involved while we decide what is and isn't acceptable on it.

00:45:54.000 Please share your thoughts in the form here.

00:45:55.000 There's a link.

00:45:56.000 In a few weeks, we'll share what we've learned from your feedback.

00:45:59.000 I got one thing to say here.

00:46:01.000 Reform 230.

00:46:02.000 Boom.

00:46:03.000 Reform 230.

00:46:04.000 And this, which is very clearly not a joke.

00:46:08.000 Yeah.

00:46:09.000 That's not a joke.

00:46:09.000 I know.

00:46:10.000 I just have to say that because Urban Dictionary is probably one of the most offensive websites that exists.

00:46:16.000 Especially for a mainstream website. 0.59

00:46:18.000 Like, you can type in any racial slur and get some of the most ridiculously racist and offensive posts.

00:46:25.000 The whole thing.

00:46:27.000 There are words used in slang in the real world and online that are racist.

00:46:32.000 Is Urban Dictionary going to start banning them?

00:46:34.000 Yeah.

00:46:35.000 Racism exists.

00:46:37.000 You know, it exists.

00:46:39.000 No one says it doesn't exist.

00:46:41.000 People are just going to make up new words, man.

00:46:42.000 You know, there was a period where, uh, I don't know exactly the full details, but there were certain groups of people that started using, uh, they replaced racial slurs with words like Facebook, Skype, and Twitter.

00:46:54.000 And so they would say things like, you know, those Facebooks were doing this or whatever.

00:46:59.000 And the gag was that if they use the word to represent a racial slur, eventually, like, they can't do anything about it.

00:47:04.000 Because the platforms can't ban their own name.

00:47:07.000 even if they decided to ban certain... Sneaky. So it's a guaranteed win, that was the idea,

00:47:13.000 because a bunch of articles got written about it, saying like racists are using the names of

00:47:18.000 major brands as racial slurs. What's Facebook going to do?

00:47:21.000 In certain contexts, our name is a bannable offense.

00:47:25.000 They can't do that.

00:47:25.000 It's their brand.

00:47:26.000 That's a good point.

00:47:27.000 They can't use a robot to do that.

00:47:28.000 So how do you actually stop people from doing it?

00:47:30.000 They couldn't.

00:47:31.000 And so, people did.

00:47:33.000 That's a really good idea, Tim.

00:47:35.000 No, it's not a good idea.

00:47:36.000 I'm saying it's something that happened and eventually died out and nobody cared anymore.

00:47:40.000 Right.

00:47:40.000 Because most people aren't racist.

00:47:43.000 Right, and there was no big movement because nobody... I think the issue with that idea is a lot of these people probably thought it would become a trend until you realize most people aren't racist and didn't want to use that language.

00:47:54.000 Yeah, most people just don't like people who suck. 0.91

00:47:59.000 Stop being mean to my friends, you know what I mean? 0.98

00:48:02.000 You can make jokes and stuff, but this is it.

00:48:04.000 Urban Dictionary is supposed to be about jokes.

00:48:07.000 Not anymore.

00:48:08.000 What is Urban Dictionary now?

00:48:09.000 You're gonna be like, I'm gonna make up a word called, like, Mor- Mor- Morbeth. 0.96

00:48:16.000 Morbeth.

00:48:17.000 And it's when you, uh, when you accidentally drop a marshmallow in the campfire.

00:48:21.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:48:22.000 It's like, it's like we're becoming moral.

00:48:24.000 It's, it really is becoming that jokey Flanders family.

00:48:28.000 Yeah.

00:48:28.000 You know?

00:48:30.000 Wow, man.

00:48:30.000 Isn't that crazy?

00:48:32.000 Think about Ned Flanders and his kids, Rod and Todd, and how they're like, he goes, okay kids, it's seven o'clock, time for bed.

00:48:39.000 And they go, yay!

00:48:40.000 And they run into bed and then shut the blinds.

00:48:42.000 Like there's all these weird moments in The Simpsons where they're celebrating really awful things.

00:48:47.000 So then there's like one where Ned's like, who wants nachos?

00:48:51.000 And they're like, and then Bart needs to run in.

00:48:53.000 And he goes, Flanders style, that's cucumbers and cottage cheese.

00:48:56.000 So that's what's happening.

00:48:58.000 It's what we're gonna get.

00:48:59.000 I'll tell you why.

00:49:01.000 Equilibrium.

00:49:02.000 Our dictionary is changing.

00:49:04.000 Our urban dictionary is changing.

00:49:07.000 The Libertarian Party is endorsing it.

00:49:10.000 You know what the thing about the Libertarian Party endorsing this is that's the most, I think, insidious?

00:49:14.000 What?

00:49:15.000 They endorsed it without even knowing what it was.

00:49:17.000 True.

00:49:18.000 And that means a lot of people will.

00:49:20.000 And once these ideas enter... So, it's the Trojan horse.

00:49:25.000 The Libertarian Party says, yeah, opposing racism is a good thing, endorses it outright, then everyone sees it as normal, and then the people who run these organizations say, here's what it means, here's what you gotta do now.

00:49:35.000 So for those that aren't familiar, the definition of racism has changed in the actual dictionary.

00:49:41.000 They created a circular definition.

00:49:44.000 Racism is one, a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities, and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.

00:49:53.000 Two, A doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles.

00:50:00.000 To be a political or social system founded on racism.

00:50:04.000 3.

00:50:04.000 Racial prejudice or discrimination.

00:50:06.000 Now the problem with this, and many of you may have heard this already but I'm just giving you context because I got another definition to show you.

00:50:12.000 Basically what they did, because of political pressure, is they included systemic racism in the definition of racism under the word racism.

00:50:21.000 What they're describing in these definitions is systemic racism, not the word racism.

00:50:27.000 This creates a circular definition because they use the word in the definition of itself, which means you create a recursive loop.

00:50:36.000 So the dictionary would read, a political or social system founded on, a political or social system founded on, a political or, and it would never end.

00:50:44.000 It would just be an endless recursion.

00:50:46.000 Because they define the word by itself.

00:50:48.000 Now you could argue, you can use the first definition to define the second definition, but that makes literally no sense.

00:50:53.000 And now, I bring you the best part about the change to our dictionary.

00:50:57.000 This is Merriam-Webster, since 1828.

00:50:59.000 This stuff is here, it's here to stay.

00:51:02.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the word homosexuality. 1.00

00:51:05.000 Now sometimes offensive.

00:51:06.000 See usage paragraph below.

00:51:08.000 Two, now sometimes offensive.

00:51:10.000 See usage paragraph below.

00:51:12.000 And the usage paragraph below does not explain anything.

00:51:15.000 They're just literally saying the word itself is offensive.

00:51:18.000 So they don't even explain what it means?

00:51:20.000 They don't explain why it's offensive at all.

00:51:21.000 But, go back up though.

00:51:24.000 Where's the definition?

00:51:25.000 Oh, there it is.

00:51:26.000 Okay.

00:51:27.000 Yeah.

00:51:28.000 Yeah.

00:51:29.000 Sexual or romantic attraction to others of one's same sex, the quality or state of being 0.75

00:51:32.000 gay. 0.93

00:51:33.000 Two is sexual activity with another of the same sex, but those are both considered to 0.86

00:51:37.000 be offensive in certain contexts.

00:51:40.000 So they included that, that this word is offensive and you need to understand the context.

00:51:46.000 So now, see, this is what I've been talking about.

00:51:48.000 They're making it offensive by telling everyone it's offensive.

00:51:52.000 Now they're teaching that it is offensive, that it is a thing, that racism is a thing, that most people are racist.

00:52:00.000 I'm obviously expanding on the idea, but it's the same.

00:52:03.000 They're just trying to convince everybody now that it's not.

00:52:07.000 There's nothing wrong with homosexuality. 0.99

00:52:10.000 Some people are okay.

00:52:11.000 That's fine.

00:52:12.000 Who's offended by it?

00:52:13.000 Why would they be offended by it?

00:52:14.000 Well, this was actually brought to my attention by Ariel Scarcella.

00:52:17.000 Okay.

00:52:18.000 Was she offended by it?

00:52:20.000 No, she was confused by it.

00:52:22.000 Right.

00:52:22.000 And she was like, I don't get it.

00:52:23.000 Right.

00:52:24.000 She's smart, articulate, and you know. 0.98

00:52:26.000 And she's a lesbian. 1.00

00:52:27.000 Yeah, and it's like, okay. 0.90

00:52:28.000 I defer to her.

00:52:29.000 I do too.

00:52:31.000 She speaks out a lot about this kind of stuff.

00:52:34.000 And it makes no sense.

00:52:36.000 You know the George Orwell quote?

00:52:38.000 Which one?

00:52:38.000 Records were falsified, street names were changed, history was erased, yada yada.

00:52:43.000 I mean, it's all literally happening right now.

00:52:44.000 Exactly.

00:52:45.000 The 1619 Project has begun to rewrite and erase our history. 0.97

00:52:49.000 They started, under that same pretext, painting our streets, renaming our streets.

00:52:54.000 A street in each of the five boroughs in New York has been renamed.

00:52:57.000 In DC, I think Chicago did the same thing.

00:53:00.000 They're charging people with hate crimes.

00:53:02.000 They're actually investigating.

00:53:03.000 You probably saw this.

00:53:04.000 Yeah.

00:53:04.000 The car that drove over the crosswalk.

00:53:06.000 They arrested somebody for it.

00:53:08.000 Are you sure they arrested him?

00:53:09.000 I read that they actually arrested someone for it.

00:53:13.000 I don't know if it's the right person, but it's crazy that you can rip down statues of people.

00:53:20.000 Oh, yeah.

00:53:21.000 You know, American- No investigation. 0.95

00:53:23.000 Founders.

00:53:23.000 Well, there is now because of Trump's executive order, but it's, you know, to They have video footage of the person, you know, peeling out over the the Rainbow Street, and it's a hate crime.

00:53:36.000 It's like... They weren't peeling out.

00:53:38.000 They weren't.

00:53:40.000 There's no evidence to suggest that.

00:53:41.000 Right.

00:53:42.000 So there was a crosswalk, and this is in Canada, mind you.

00:53:44.000 I think it was Canada, right?

00:53:45.000 Yeah, it was.

00:53:46.000 And the crosswalk was painted, because it's got two white lines, it was a rainbow in between.

00:53:52.000 There was a tread mark across it because a car turned.

00:53:55.000 It wasn't peeling out.

00:53:56.000 No, it wasn't.

00:53:57.000 It wasn't even going very fast.

00:53:59.000 Sometimes you leave tire marks.

00:54:00.000 That's true.

00:54:01.000 Maybe they were driving and he did a hard turn.

00:54:03.000 It was an accident.

00:54:03.000 I have no idea.

00:54:04.000 It actually happens naturally.

00:54:06.000 Offensive!

00:54:08.000 They're actually looking for this person.

00:54:10.000 They're investigating and may have arrested them for driving a car on the road.

00:54:14.000 Whoa.

00:54:16.000 Yeah, man.

00:54:16.000 Well, like the couple that went out and painted over the B and the L.

00:54:21.000 Right.

00:54:22.000 Hate crime.

00:54:23.000 I think they were trying to change it to All Lives Matter, maybe.

00:54:25.000 I don't know.

00:54:25.000 I think they were just painting over it.

00:54:26.000 In Chicago, they painted over the B-L-C-K, so the A was still there, and then they drew two white Ls, so it said All Lives Matter.

00:54:35.000 And now in New York, they're writing Black Lives Matter in front of the Trump building.

00:54:39.000 So I saw this.

00:54:40.000 I've known that it was going on, but on Facebook, there's this meme that's going around.

00:54:44.000 They're like, yeah, take that, Trump.

00:54:46.000 And I'm like, do you know how much he's done for the minority community?

00:54:50.000 If you don't know, you haven't been paying attention, and it's embarrassing.

00:54:53.000 That's all I said to them.

00:54:54.000 I would be willing to bet a very large sum of money that if we could develop a machine to read Trump's mind, he cares not at all.

00:55:03.000 About that?

00:55:04.000 About them painting in front of the... Yeah, no, he doesn't.

00:55:06.000 He tweeted about it, saying it was a hate message, but I think the full context of the tweet was that you've got crime skyrocketing in New York and this is what they do.

00:55:13.000 Right, this is where they're putting their money, basically.

00:55:15.000 People are getting killed every day.

00:55:19.000 They roll with it like they said, uh, everyone started posting like, ah, Trump's all angry.

00:55:25.000 Haha.

00:55:25.000 We got them.

00:55:26.000 And Trump's probably like, Hey, they think I'm mad about this.

00:55:28.000 Yeah.

00:55:29.000 He loves keeping them.

00:55:30.000 So, so Trump recently tweeted something like less than one, one, he said one, one hundredth of something that made no sense.

00:55:39.000 And everybody started making fun of him for it.

00:55:41.000 He tweeted another typo and I'm like.

00:55:44.000 He's doing it on purpose.

00:55:45.000 It's not even if he does it on purpose.

00:55:47.000 It's that whenever he puts a typo... Actually, let me put it this way.

00:55:51.000 Sometimes in my YouTube videos, there will be a typo that I'll miss.

00:55:55.000 I don't do it on purpose.

00:55:56.000 But sometimes, you know, a few hours later, I'll see it and I'll laugh and leave it.

00:56:00.000 You know why?

00:56:01.000 Why?

00:56:02.000 Because when people see the typo in the headline, they go into the video to make sure they can comment and say, I saw the typo.

00:56:07.000 That's true.

00:56:08.000 So I don't do it on purpose.

00:56:10.000 But Trump probably tweets out and then an hour later sees his phone blowing up and then he sees the typo and he laughs and leaves it because it's distracting everybody.

00:56:17.000 That's true.

00:56:17.000 Although I will say, in Trump's case, I think he does it sometimes on purpose.

00:56:21.000 Yeah, I think so too.

00:56:22.000 The famous story was that he tweeted about the squad going back to their home countries and at the same time he was ending like refugee and asylum rules that were like pretty, like it was a bold move.

00:56:35.000 Okay.

00:56:35.000 And the news cycle did not care.

00:56:37.000 Emotions.

00:56:38.000 No, no, no.

00:56:38.000 And not just emotions.

00:56:40.000 It's ignorant people with platforms. 1.00

00:56:41.000 Omar were like, how dare Trump? 1.00

00:56:43.000 He is such a bigot.

00:56:44.000 Meanwhile, I saw some journalists going like, uh, isn't this story like this one

00:56:48.000 way bigger, Trump just signed this order.

00:56:50.000 Nobody cared.

00:56:51.000 Emotions.

00:56:52.000 Yeah.

00:56:53.000 This is this.

00:56:54.000 No, no.

00:56:55.000 And not just emotions. 1.00

00:56:56.000 It's ignorant people with platforms. 0.99

00:56:58.000 So this is what worries me, man. 0.94

00:57:00.000 What section two 30 reform.

00:57:05.000 Absolutely.

00:57:06.000 That will change everything.

00:57:08.000 It needs to happen.

00:57:09.000 The more we talk about it, the more I look into it.

00:57:12.000 Free speech online needs to be protected.

00:57:14.000 People need to grow a backbone and not care.

00:57:18.000 Worry about yourself.

00:57:20.000 People need to worry about themselves way more than what other people are doing.

00:57:25.000 Where did that go?

00:57:27.000 So here's the challenge.

00:57:29.000 I do think it's fair to say this will be the most important elections of our lives.

00:57:35.000 Yep.

00:57:35.000 Right now.

00:57:36.000 Absolutely.

00:57:37.000 Not because I think this cause is more important than, say, the Iraq War or, you know, universal health care.

00:57:43.000 That was Obama's, you know, one of his big things.

00:57:45.000 Because it will fundamentally change the fabric of our country and the world if we do not reform Section 230 to protect legal speech.

00:57:54.000 Yep.

00:57:55.000 Right now, the biggest platforms and their partners in media control all cultural institutions, which means politics cannot exist unless the cultural gatekeepers allow it to.

00:58:11.000 If you want to say something like this, I believe we should have a flat tax.

00:58:16.000 Well, guess what?

00:58:18.000 They could ban you for saying it and you can't do anything about it.

00:58:21.000 And then you have quite literally no politicians advocating for a flat tax.

00:58:25.000 So who is going to run on that position?

00:58:27.000 Nobody.

00:58:28.000 Right.

00:58:28.000 No one will care.

00:58:28.000 That idea will be gone.

00:58:32.000 Here's the bigger problem.

00:58:33.000 This may be the most important election of our lives.

00:58:36.000 And even if the Republicans win, there is no guarantee they actually do it.

00:58:41.000 They would have to sweep the Congress and the presidency, gain control.

00:58:48.000 Would they even do it?

00:58:48.000 They had control in 2016.

00:58:50.000 They didn't do it.

00:58:51.000 Now, I think it's fair to say you had what people call RINOs, Republican In Name Only.

00:58:54.000 Right.

00:58:54.000 You had a lot of people who retired, who had no interest.

00:58:57.000 They were establishment players in the Republican Party, did not want to, you know, do anything.

00:59:01.000 Probably got paid to not do anything.

00:59:03.000 Yeah, they were just keys to the castle politicians.

00:59:05.000 Yep.

00:59:05.000 But even now... Most of them are right now.

00:59:08.000 What's, you know, is it because we're deadlocked between the House and the Senate that we're not getting anything done?

00:59:13.000 I honestly don't know.

00:59:14.000 So, you gotta cross your fingers that come November, not only will you win, let's say the silent majority does exist and they're going to go out in November in massive numbers and prove it, but you also are hoping that the Republicans who get elected will actually do this.

00:59:33.000 I think it's a great idea.

00:59:35.000 Well, look, it's not my idea.

00:59:37.000 The DOJ put out the guidelines.

00:59:39.000 No, I've seen it.

00:59:39.000 It's Bill Barr.

00:59:40.000 Yeah, I looked into it after that, when we first talked about it the other day.

00:59:43.000 Now, I'm not sure he goes far enough, because he still says that they should have a good faith effort to remove certain content.

00:59:49.000 That means they can still start banning certain people, but it would give you more legal protections, I suppose.

00:59:54.000 And the other issue is that we've already seen them violate Section 230.

01:00:00.000 Twitter does it all the time.

01:00:01.000 That's true.

01:00:02.000 Nothing happens.

01:00:03.000 So look, there's a lot of steps here.

01:00:05.000 First, the Republicans would have to win.

01:00:09.000 They'd have to put in Section 230 reform.

01:00:11.000 Then someone would need a case.

01:00:13.000 Something would happen where they would sue and challenge their protections.

01:00:17.000 Then precedent would be set and Twitter would take action.

01:00:23.000 So Learn to Code is the best example.

01:00:26.000 Under 230, they're allowed to remove some content, not all.

01:00:30.000 It's got to be objectionable or like harassing or whatever.

01:00:33.000 And people were tweeting things like Learn to Code, or a good example would be like James Lindsay.

01:00:38.000 James Lindsay is one of the foremost experts on critical race theory and wokeness.

01:00:45.000 And he just went on Rogan, gained a ton of followers, they suspended his account.

01:00:50.000 They can still do those things even with 230 reform.

01:00:52.000 Sorry I gotta ask, did you see the first thing he posted when he got back?

01:00:55.000 No, what was it?

01:00:57.000 Was it spicy?

01:00:58.000 Yeah.

01:00:59.000 It was spicy.

01:01:00.000 Talking about people... How do I say this without saying it?

01:01:06.000 Why?

01:01:07.000 Because it's bad?

01:01:07.000 You'll get banned?

01:01:08.000 I don't want to say it.

01:01:10.000 I don't really want to.

01:01:11.000 It's very spicy.

01:01:12.000 It's a very specific subject.

01:01:15.000 I don't want to talk about it, but go look at it.

01:01:18.000 You know, read his words.

01:01:19.000 Conceptual James, I'm sure.

01:01:20.000 Because it makes a lot of sense, what he's saying.

01:01:22.000 Yeah.

01:01:23.000 And it's scary, actually, also.

01:01:26.000 So here's the challenge.

01:01:28.000 With Section 230 reform, they probably would not be able to ban him by mistake in that way.

01:01:34.000 It is the war on ignorance.

01:01:36.000 Yeah.

01:01:37.000 And also child ignorance.

01:01:39.000 Yeah.

01:01:40.000 That's all I can say.

01:01:42.000 If we specifically state in the Reform 230 That a good faith effort to remove illegal content, there will still be some mistakes, but that wouldn't be one of them.

01:01:53.000 Because there's no reason to believe, and there's no good faith belief, that he posted anything illegal.

01:01:59.000 Right.

01:02:00.000 In which case, these accidents would be few and far between.

01:02:02.000 No, I could see some people would find it offensive, but that's just the thing.

01:02:09.000 Some people can be offended.

01:02:11.000 That's their right.

01:02:12.000 You can be offended.

01:02:13.000 Anyone can be offended, but that doesn't mean you're right.

01:02:15.000 Thanks, Tom McDonald.

01:02:17.000 We need more than this, though, because right now another problem is that we have follow-up accounts overtly breaking the law with their posts.

01:02:24.000 That's right.

01:02:27.000 I'm gonna, you know, I gotta say it.

01:02:29.000 There is one potential solution.

01:02:31.000 What's that?

01:02:31.000 The end of anonymity on the internet.

01:02:35.000 That's it.

01:02:35.000 So kind of like, people are upset that Parler, you have to put in a number and it's like, I kind of, I'm down with that because you can't, you're going to go get like five different numbers so that you can, cause you have to actually.

01:02:47.000 They're trying to prevent bots from manipulating.

01:02:50.000 Yeah, that's awesome.

01:02:51.000 I have one person that's me.

01:02:53.000 I don't need another voice.

01:02:56.000 I'm using my own voice.

01:02:57.000 I'm happy with that.

01:02:58.000 I'm not trying to influence and make fake accounts to bot it up.

01:03:03.000 People do that.

01:03:04.000 Parlor is pretty legit.

01:03:08.000 So this would have to come after reform, after 230 reform.

01:03:12.000 I'm not saying it's a good idea because there are serious pros and cons.

01:03:15.000 Right.

01:03:15.000 There are whistleblowers who can't speak up that use anonymity to protect themselves and call out, you know, malfeasance.

01:03:21.000 Good point.

01:03:22.000 On the other hand, there are people who run 50 accounts to manipulate brands into banning people to push ideology.

01:03:28.000 Cancel culture.

01:03:28.000 Exactly.

01:03:29.000 So a big solution to a lot of these problems is an end to anonymity on social media. Facebook basically did

01:03:38.000 it. Facebook said you have to use your real name from now on. Oh really? Yeah. That was a

01:03:43.000 while ago, several years ago. Okay.

01:03:44.000 There was a big controversy because some people use pseudonyms and some people are activists

01:03:49.000 who face persecution in their home countries and they fled and they're like, if I use my real name.

01:03:54.000 So, and some people on Facebook don't use real photos of themselves.

01:03:58.000 But the idea is, if everyone has to stand up for what they're saying, then people would be a lot less inclined to be awful and nasty people.

01:04:06.000 And it wasn't illegal to just speak your mind.

01:04:08.000 Right.

01:04:09.000 Which is what the reform would do.

01:04:10.000 Well, you wouldn't get banned for it.

01:04:12.000 Okay, okay, right.

01:04:13.000 Some things would still be illegal to do, like death threats and whatnot.

01:04:17.000 If it's illegal, it's illegal.

01:04:18.000 Right, right, right.

01:04:19.000 So here's the pendulum, sort of like the problems and the waves they cause.

01:04:26.000 If we reform 230, we solve one problem.

01:04:29.000 People can now speak up and we can rebalance the political conversation.

01:04:33.000 I'm not saying it would favor the extremes.

01:04:35.000 It would not.

01:04:36.000 It would favor the center and reinvigorate the center to come back for a debate. 0.88

01:04:40.000 It would force the left back to the center because the bigger conversation would be happening among more people.

01:04:46.000 However, this could result in a massive flood of Annoying, really annoying, racist, tirades, brigading, sock puppetry, which can result in the platform becoming just a cesspool of chaos.

01:05:03.000 This is one of the things that Twitter was concerned about.

01:05:06.000 That the reason they decided to just take sides and ban one is that if they really did mass free speech, you end up with bots just spamming everybody all the time.

01:05:18.000 And so they had to figure out how to deal with that.

01:05:20.000 So if you have Section 230, reformed, protecting all legal speech, and you create a platform where you can't be anonymous, problem solved.

01:05:30.000 There's still some problems you can argue, but then individuals can't run multiple accounts, and they have to stand behind every word they say.

01:05:38.000 So will you get angry racist tirades that are really annoying?

01:05:42.000 Yes you will, but a lot of people do this to be contrarian.

01:05:46.000 That's true.

01:05:46.000 They do it because it's funny, it's fun, they want to troll.

01:05:48.000 You will get rid of a lot of the trolls.

01:05:50.000 I think online trolls is like what started the Karen movement because people were thinking that they were it was real and then they ran with it and then people started The trolls were like, oh, it's working.

01:06:05.000 All right.

01:06:05.000 Now I'm going to get more people.

01:06:06.000 And then more people were getting offended.

01:06:08.000 And then it snowballed into this, you know, speaking of the snowplow parents, the kids grew up and were offended and the trolls were eating them alive.

01:06:18.000 And now we're now where look where we're at, you know.

01:06:21.000 I've seen these feminists retweet trolls on purpose. 1.00

01:06:25.000 And it's because they like it.

01:06:27.000 It's a game to a lot of these people.

01:06:30.000 I've seen some high-profile feminists go, I can't believe all the harassment I'm getting. 1.00

01:06:33.000 Look!

01:06:33.000 And they start retweeting them.

01:06:35.000 There's one person I know, and I said, don't you know that retweeting them is their goal?

01:06:41.000 And then the response was, do you expect me to be silenced?

01:06:44.000 I will not be silenced by them. 0.99

01:06:46.000 And I'm like, oh, shut up. 1.00

01:06:48.000 You know what you're doing. 0.99

01:06:49.000 You're feeding the trolls on purpose because it gets positive attention for you can play the victim and welcome to, you know, 2020.

01:06:55.000 We are, you know, 36 years off, but I guess we finally made it here.

01:07:01.000 The streets being renamed, you know, records being falsified.

01:07:05.000 I was born in 84.

01:07:07.000 What does it mean?

01:07:08.000 1984.

01:07:08.000 What does it mean?

01:07:10.000 The year I was born.

01:07:11.000 Welcome to the resistance, brother!

01:07:13.000 To all of you watching right now, it may be there is a silent majority.

01:07:18.000 They may be lying in wait, ready to pounce onto that voting voter booth.

01:07:22.000 They want to do it legally.

01:07:24.000 They're law-abiding citizens.

01:07:27.000 Yes, but for now we can't make that assumption.

01:07:31.000 We don't know how many people... I'm making the assumption.

01:07:34.000 But all we can really do for now is determine one thing.

01:07:39.000 If there ever was an actual resistance, this is it.

01:07:44.000 Not them.

01:07:45.000 Not them complaining about the orange man.

01:07:47.000 Which brings me to the next funny bit.

01:07:49.000 Oh.

01:07:51.000 I have a question for all of you.

01:07:53.000 What happens to the punk bands when they find themselves in complete alignment with the billion dollar multinational corporations?

01:08:02.000 Are you actually asking me?

01:08:03.000 I'm asking you, I'm asking everybody.

01:08:04.000 Oh, I thought you were... I thought it was rhetorical.

01:08:06.000 Rhetorical?

01:08:07.000 No, no, no, literally, what happens?

01:08:10.000 I don't know.

01:08:11.000 I mean, I know the funny answers that people have given, so... Well, band names, I'll just give it to you, I think the winner, the winner of the funny band names is Rage on Behalf of the Machine, and this is from Based in PA.

01:08:25.000 Comedy Gold says, uh, Free Sheeple, well done. 0.87

01:08:29.000 I agree.

01:08:31.000 Listen, take Rage Against The Machine's lyrics.

01:08:35.000 Play them today, they are quite literally the machine.

01:08:39.000 They are just rage.

01:08:41.000 It is rage on behalf of the machine.

01:08:43.000 Think about it.

01:08:44.000 The riots for Black Lives Matter, the government supports it. 1.00

01:08:47.000 They're painting it in the streets.

01:08:49.000 Every major corporation is plastering the message everywhere.

01:08:51.000 So when you go out and rage on behalf, You are the machine!

01:08:54.000 Yep. 0.88

01:08:55.000 You are a giant rage-filled hate machine. 1.00

01:08:57.000 Yep, that's true. 0.78

01:08:58.000 So this is act- I actually thought of this because I saw, um, for those of you familiar with Paramore, Hayley Williams, who is like the frontwoman of the band, put up a poster That was called Say Their Names.

01:09:13.000 I could be getting it wrong because I just saw this passively.

01:09:15.000 I'm not going to pretend like Paramore is the epitome of real punk rock.

01:09:19.000 They were pop punk in the 2000s.

01:09:21.000 But it still made me think of this because there are other punk bands that are in line with the establishment.

01:09:25.000 We'll get to this.

01:09:26.000 But I saw that.

01:09:28.000 I looked up what had happened.

01:09:30.000 So she had posted this poster of, I guess it was a bunch of names of people who, like, you know, unarmed black people or people have been killed by police.

01:09:38.000 And she got attacked for it.

01:09:40.000 I say attacked, but she got a bunch of angry messages saying it's offensive and you're profiting off their names or whatever.

01:09:45.000 So she tweeted she was taking the poster down.

01:09:48.000 I thought to myself, You know, I'm, again, not trying to pretend that Paramore is like the epitome of punk rock.

01:09:54.000 Certainly not.

01:09:55.000 You know, it's like, you know, emo pop.

01:09:56.000 I would never equate them to punk rock, no.

01:10:00.000 But it was supposed to be like youth, it was youthful exuberant rock, you know what I mean?

01:10:04.000 It was like teenage angst.

01:10:06.000 So it was, it was like, The point I'm making is, I saw that and I thought about it.

01:10:13.000 Like, if you're supposed to be a rebel challenging the system, but here you are saying, so sorry everybody, you know, I understand this is a big mainstream, high-profile cause that everyone loves and supports and the government supports it.

01:10:25.000 So a better example would be Bad Religion, which we talked about before.

01:10:28.000 Writing their attempt at an anti-alt-right song, which is actually, I guess, inadvertently pro-alt-right.

01:10:36.000 But regardless of whether or not you have all these modern iterations of, you know, of punk bands or anti-establishment music and art, what happens now to even the historic music?

01:10:47.000 Rage Against the Machine from the 90s.

01:10:49.000 Or 2000, you know, as was the 90s, I guess.

01:10:51.000 Yeah.

01:10:51.000 Now it's quite literally like, congratulations, you've lived long enough to see yourself become the machine.

01:10:57.000 I actually had a question about this, even in high school, and you and I have talked about this a little bit, because in 2002, I think it was, Bad Religion came out with Kyoto Now, which was their song in favor of the Kyoto Protocol, which is great, I know, if you're an environmentalist, and you also apparently really like Big government?

01:11:13.000 And I couldn't figure out.

01:11:15.000 I was like, are you against the machine?

01:11:17.000 Or are you with the machine?

01:11:18.000 Because that looks a lot like the machine to me and I was a conservative even then.

01:11:21.000 I was like, if you were really going to be punk, maybe you want to be conservative because they actually don't like the government.

01:11:27.000 It never made sense to me.

01:11:28.000 So I don't know.

01:11:29.000 Maybe this is just the continuation of that.

01:11:32.000 It's like they were advocating for a bigger machine.

01:11:36.000 Yeah.

01:11:37.000 The machine isn't big enough.

01:11:38.000 The machine isn't big enough.

01:11:40.000 Let's write some punk songs and just totally lean into, you know, we are the machine.

01:11:46.000 Everything we say is pro-establishment.

01:11:48.000 Isn't that crazy?

01:11:49.000 Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.

01:11:50.000 Wow, man.

01:11:51.000 And so this is something I don't know who coined this.

01:11:53.000 Was it Paul Joseph Watson?

01:11:55.000 Conservatism as a new counterculture?

01:11:57.000 Yeah, I saw that.

01:11:58.000 It kind of is, but this is a different kind of conservatism.

01:12:02.000 The idea was that, like, I guess what he is saying is that if you go back in time, the idea of wearing a suit and going to church is, like, counterculture because the establishment is, like, super far left.

01:12:12.000 Yeah.

01:12:13.000 But what we're doing is still anti-establishment, and we're not suit-wearing, stodgy religiousists.

01:12:20.000 What, this show right now?

01:12:21.000 Oh, for sure.

01:12:22.000 Like, we are still skateboarding musicians, you're a vegan, like, this is what a lot of punk rock was back in the day.

01:12:30.000 At least in certain respects, not completely or entirely, you know what I mean?

01:12:33.000 You could overlap with it.

01:12:35.000 But skateboarding, you know?

01:12:37.000 Skateboarding, playing music, and challenging the establishment, and calling for freedom and liberty.

01:12:45.000 Maybe they subverted these cultures on purpose. 0.76

01:12:48.000 It's interesting, man.

01:12:49.000 Remember what I was saying about the conspiracy where Trump is a part of the deep state?

01:12:52.000 Yeah.

01:12:53.000 The idea was that Trump is really part of the global elite billionaires and he is playing this role of the outsider challenging the deep state so that it can bring people back into the machine.

01:13:07.000 But this is the second layer to that.

01:13:09.000 The overall conspiracy, and I'm not saying it's true at all, I'm just saying it's something people say.

01:13:14.000 Trump was friends with the Clintons, he was friends with Hillary, it's all an act.

01:13:17.000 He wants you to think that he's stealing the country back from the corporate evil.

01:13:22.000 And so what happened now is you get people like Alex Jones, who used to be very anti-establishment, straight up supporting Trump.

01:13:28.000 and you get punk rock bands that were straight up anti-establishment now completely in support

01:13:33.000 of the establishment political positions. Whatever has happened, it's completely made

01:13:38.000 everyone in favor of one form of the establishment.

01:13:43.000 One or the other.

01:13:44.000 So was that it?

01:13:45.000 It was like, now you've got people who used to be very anti-government libertarian being in support of the federal government, calling for them to take action, bring out law and order.

01:13:57.000 These were the more small-government, right-leaning people now saying, we need law and order, we need Trump to come in and enforce the law.

01:14:04.000 And then you get the punk rock bands, rage against the machine, now literally putting on rock concerts Sanctioned by the government where they paint their political messages in the street.

01:14:14.000 Yeah legally with protection from the police You actually have the cops.

01:14:17.000 This is the best part Seeing these videos of these young kids dancing with cops.

01:14:23.000 Yeah, there was one I can't remember what it was but it was like a street and the cop was doing some shuffle dance with everybody and they're all laughing and cheering and I'm like It's so weird to see young people not rebelling. 0.97

01:14:34.000 What happened there?

01:14:37.000 Why don't kids rebel anymore?

01:14:39.000 This is strange to me.

01:14:40.000 Ignorance is bliss. 0.99

01:14:41.000 You think they're just ignorant? 1.00

01:14:43.000 Oh yeah. 0.99

01:14:44.000 That's all it is? 0.95

01:14:45.000 Because I've always been ignorant, right? 0.90

01:14:47.000 I mean, everyone is ignorant until they, you know, like, on any subject they're not, like, privy to, and then you climb out of that ignorance when you research whatever subject it is. 0.87

01:15:01.000 So I'm ignorant of many political things, still.

01:15:05.000 You know, I'm slowly, you know, learning my place and understanding the whole realm of And, you know, you just see that there's more and more.

01:15:13.000 The problem is everyone thinks that they know everything.

01:15:16.000 So a lot of these people, these young people, think that they know everything. 0.99

01:15:20.000 They don't realize that they are ignorant. 0.89

01:15:23.000 They think that they've just... I mean, everyone, you know, think back when you're 20. 0.91

01:15:27.000 It's like, I know everything.

01:15:30.000 I'm finally out of the house.

01:15:31.000 Like, my parents were wrong.

01:15:32.000 I finally can, you know, it used to be rebelling.

01:15:35.000 Right.

01:15:36.000 But now it's more like... Conforming?

01:15:39.000 Well, because they have the internet and they all cluster together because they find each other easy, you know?

01:15:46.000 Or they're going to college and then they're finding each other there.

01:15:49.000 They're clumping together and then the ignorance festers and they don't climb out of the ignorance.

01:15:56.000 They stay in it.

01:15:58.000 They don't have to.

01:15:59.000 It's not so much, in my opinion, about rebelling against parents, which is how we view it, but I think it's about asserting your individuality.

01:16:06.000 That's what's gone.

01:16:07.000 Yeah.

01:16:07.000 When I was a kid, I was like, I do what I want.

01:16:10.000 You know, you can't tell me what to do. 0.99

01:16:11.000 Shut up. 1.00

01:16:11.000 I do what I want. 1.00

01:16:12.000 Yeah.

01:16:13.000 And that was rebelling, asserting like, here is who I am.

01:16:16.000 And it was important, in my opinion, when it comes to cultural and literal evolution.

01:16:20.000 Yeah.

01:16:21.000 Because it allows life to challenge and find better ways of solving problems.

01:16:27.000 If you have a bunch of people trying a bunch of different things, out of 100, 99 fail, but one person improves, then that improvement can trickle to the masses and then lift everybody up.

01:16:37.000 So that asserting your individuality was a net benefit to our society and our culture, and now it's gone.

01:16:43.000 Now you have these young kids totally in favor.

01:16:48.000 They're pro-establishment.

01:16:50.000 Yeah, the individuality is gone.

01:16:52.000 Check out this.

01:16:53.000 This is really amazing, this picture.

01:16:54.000 Someone tweeted this.

01:16:56.000 It is a punk-looking young woman.

01:16:58.000 If you think you're goth, punk, or alternative, but you don't support the BLM movement, you're a poser.

01:17:05.000 Interesting.

01:17:05.000 She has an Anarchy A on her jean vest.

01:17:08.000 She's also wearing a shirt that says ACAB, which I'll give you the family-friendly version.

01:17:12.000 All cops are bad.

01:17:14.000 But the anarchy thing I find interesting because the government of New York just painted Black Lives Matter on the street.

01:17:19.000 So your movement is in favor of the establishment government and political party.

01:17:25.000 That's right.

01:17:25.000 Just not cops, apparently?

01:17:26.000 Why are you wearing the anarchy symbol?

01:17:27.000 Oh no, they're defunding the police.

01:17:28.000 Right, yeah.

01:17:29.000 So ACAB.

01:17:31.000 But they like the government.

01:17:32.000 Bill de Blasio, right.

01:17:33.000 So the anarchy makes no sense.

01:17:35.000 Right.

01:17:35.000 ACAB really, really pisses me off because it's just them going, all people are racist is basically what that means.

01:17:45.000 That's also what they say too.

01:17:46.000 I know.

01:17:46.000 All people are racist.

01:17:47.000 And it's like, no, your ignorance is spilling out and splashing all over me. 1.00

01:17:52.000 I have to go shower. 0.99

01:17:54.000 I can't stand it.

01:17:56.000 I know people that are cops and they're awesome.

01:17:58.000 They're awesome people.

01:18:00.000 Okay.

01:18:01.000 So this is what I see.

01:18:04.000 Every every layer of our cultural institutions which come well before politics are under the control of

01:18:11.000 Intersectionalists they have they they are establishment Conformists, you know, they have weird views. They're racists

01:18:20.000 Look, you know, I often we joke about like it's a meme when I say I'm mixed race and stuff

01:18:26.000 But but but I think people really really need to understand like I've had conversations with other people who are like

01:18:32.000 hoppa meaning like half Asian or whatever and quapa quarter Asian

01:18:35.000 and There are serious concerns about what a leftist identitarian

01:18:39.000 future means I was talking to Sargon, because he was reading White Fragility,

01:18:45.000 And what he basically said was, she basically pooh-poohs mixed-race people. 0.99

01:18:50.000 Like, they're not a part of this worldview.

01:18:53.000 That's very binary.

01:18:56.000 Well, what it means is basically, I'll put it this way.

01:19:00.000 My general understanding of other countries is that if I were to live in Okay.

01:19:06.000 Right.

01:19:07.000 We're all Americans.

01:19:08.000 Yep.

01:19:08.000 is from. I would have been a second class citizen. Not in America though. In America

01:19:13.000 we've bypassed, like we've succeeded, we've passed these laws, we have these rulings.

01:19:16.000 Right, we're all Americans. Period.

01:19:19.000 So when I grew up, what I had to deal with at my family was people who were authoritarian

01:19:25.000 racists. So we had like someone throw a brick through our family vehicle window.

01:19:29.000 Our house was vandalized.

01:19:32.000 And I was a little kid.

01:19:33.000 And so it was like, I don't understand.

01:19:35.000 People are attacking us, I guess.

01:19:36.000 And it was very obvious when you look at our family that it was not your typical white American family.

01:19:42.000 So, when I was growing up, I was like, wow, man, look at this neighborhood.

01:19:47.000 We won.

01:19:48.000 Like, it's a Star Trek future, man.

01:19:50.000 I remember when I was a little kid watching Star Trek with my dad and I'm like, this is the future, man.

01:19:54.000 It's going to be people of all different types and creeds and colors just living together peacefully.

01:19:58.000 Yeah, that's what it felt like in my high school.

01:20:00.000 I went to high school out here, outside Philadelphia.

01:20:03.000 And there was all sorts of colors and Pretty much every single person I ever interacted in high school was cool.

01:20:10.000 You know, sure there were some bullies, but it's like, that's not a race issue.

01:20:17.000 That's an authoritarian, you know, it's bullies.

01:20:21.000 Bullies exist. 0.73

01:20:22.000 Trolls on the internet, it's like, they don't even know what the color of your skin is. 0.99

01:20:25.000 They're bullies. 0.99

01:20:26.000 That's what trolls do. 0.99

01:20:28.000 That's what they want. 0.96

01:20:29.000 My troll.

01:20:31.000 My concern is like, we saw the whiteness training in Seattle, right? 1.00

01:20:35.000 You brought it up earlier.

01:20:36.000 In Seattle, they had all the white people do like an undoing whiteness thing. 1.00

01:20:39.000 Oh, it's crazy. 0.98

01:20:40.000 They don't know how to deal with mixed race people. 1.00

01:20:44.000 And I was having a conversation with a friend of mine, and I told, I was telling her why I thought this was bad.

01:20:49.000 And I said, I want you to imagine for a second what it must feel like To not have the luxury of living in a community where everyone is the same race, right?

01:21:00.000 Because it's something she brought up to me.

01:21:01.000 She was like, minorities have to think about race all the time and white people don't, which is not true.

01:21:06.000 But there are communities that is true. 0.90

01:21:08.000 I said, OK, so now I want you to imagine something.

01:21:11.000 Imagine you're a minority, and you wake up one day to see that many people you know who are white are now calling for white collective action, and they're calling for the formation of white racial identity groups.

01:21:23.000 Do you think that would make them more or less comfortable?

01:21:26.000 Less.

01:21:27.000 Definitely less.

01:21:28.000 Right.

01:21:28.000 I don't like the idea that my friends are now going like this. Okay, everyone. Listen up Tim you go over there

01:21:34.000 We're not talking to you. Here's what we're gonna do and I'm like, I don't care if you think you're the good guy or not

01:21:37.000 That is not fun. Yeah, it's not feel good at all, right?

01:21:40.000 And then you tell me what I was told was that I have to choose to identify as white then and I was like

01:21:45.000 That's that's complete BS right the future they're building Will do weird things to me and my family and it also has

01:21:53.000 very profound implications on what on who I choose to have a family with

01:21:57.000 Yep.

01:21:58.000 Do I want to put someone through the ethnic ambiguity or racial ambiguity problem? 0.99

01:22:05.000 These people are awful. 0.98

01:22:07.000 Yeah, they are. 1.00

01:22:08.000 They're trying to inject racism back into society.

01:22:11.000 They won't let it go away.

01:22:12.000 They don't want to.

01:22:13.000 Because it's one of their control pieces.

01:22:15.000 I went to Seoul, South Korea.

01:22:18.000 And I met some... I have some friends who are 100% Korean, born in America, who have been there.

01:22:25.000 And I met some people who are 100% Korean, born in Korea.

01:22:28.000 And boy, was it an interesting conversation.

01:22:30.000 As young people, they were very nice to me.

01:22:33.000 But they explained to me that in Southeast Asia, I would not be, for the most part, acceptable.

01:22:39.000 I'd probably get by just fine, but I would come across many roadblocks based on racism that I would never experience in America.

01:22:46.000 And you look at, somebody brought this up in the chat, I think the other day, that in Japan, you can't even open a bank account unless you are from Japan and you are Japanese.

01:22:54.000 Because a lot, it's like, dude, America's laws are rare.

01:23:00.000 Yeah.

01:23:00.000 So many countries have overt racial identity in their laws for their countries.

01:23:05.000 I know.

01:23:05.000 This is what I was saying the other day about how can they deny that America is not on the forefront of showing what it's like to be free, to be civil, to show what equality is.

01:23:19.000 They're actually trying to disassemble that And we have that.

01:23:25.000 We put it in place in the 60s.

01:23:28.000 Martin Luther King got killed for it.

01:23:31.000 And man, I listened to a man named Shelby Steele.

01:23:37.000 Incredible man.

01:23:38.000 You could check him out on the Hoover Institute.

01:23:42.000 They have a lot of amazing interviews on YouTube.

01:23:45.000 And he was talking about it.

01:23:49.000 He was like, I would not take reparations because I've earned my keep here.

01:23:55.000 I worked hard to get to where I am.

01:23:57.000 I saw, I was alive during, in the 60s when we were actually fighting for civil rights.

01:24:02.000 We had a message.

01:24:04.000 We knew exactly what we needed to do.

01:24:07.000 And now these people, everyone's confused.

01:24:11.000 People are confused because they don't actually know what is the plan.

01:24:14.000 You know, they don't have a clear message.

01:24:16.000 It just, you ask anyone, you can just move along the list of different people and ask them, what do you think the plan is?

01:24:24.000 You know, originally it was police reform, right?

01:24:27.000 Well, we tried police reform.

01:24:30.000 There was a legitimate bill on the table.

01:24:33.000 Now people are saying, well, that wasn't enough.

01:24:35.000 And it's like, you didn't read the bill, did you?

01:24:37.000 I still haven't heard back from those ragers on Facebook that I was like, here's the bill.

01:24:44.000 Read it.

01:24:45.000 Talk to me.

01:24:46.000 Zero.

01:24:46.000 Zip.

01:24:47.000 Nothing.

01:24:47.000 They don't care.

01:24:48.000 They don't want that.

01:24:49.000 It's not about police reform.

01:24:50.000 What is it about?

01:24:51.000 No one even knows.

01:24:51.000 And I'll tell you this, it's not about accommodating marginalized people either.

01:24:55.000 That is a lie.

01:24:55.000 Absolutely.

01:24:56.000 Absolutely correct.

01:24:57.000 So this was the culmination of the conversation I had with my friend.

01:25:00.000 When they were basically saying, you know, white people have the luxury of never experiencing race.

01:25:05.000 And then when I said, imagine waking up where you come from a mixed-race family, you've dealt with issues of racism, and you see all of these white people now forming a white racial identity group.

01:25:13.000 Right.

01:25:14.000 Like, I don't, people aren't sitting there going like, hey, that's a good thing.

01:25:17.000 I remember that.

01:25:18.000 That was great.

01:25:18.000 You know, they're going like, uh, I thought we were... So I asked her, you know, I basically said, When you propose segregation based on race, you have to understand that it was you, your ideology, and progressives in 1967 that got a ruling which created mixed-race relationships in this country.

01:25:37.000 Loving v. Virginia, 1967.

01:25:39.000 made it so that it was legally protected, they could not discriminate, people of different races could have mixed-race children.

01:25:45.000 You have now created, I believe, two or three generations now of mixed-race families, and with your identitarianism and segregation, you are basically telling them, F you, and you want to go back in time?

01:26:00.000 You're basically just chopping off a group of people that your side fought for, right?

01:26:06.000 The progressives?

01:26:08.000 There's no answer.

01:26:10.000 I mean, that's probably the better argument.

01:26:12.000 So the argument was specifically about California repealing civil rights law.

01:26:17.000 The California Assembly and the Senate repealed this.

01:26:20.000 I know most of you probably know the context by now.

01:26:22.000 For those who don't, it's literally just, it says the state shall not discriminate based on these things.

01:26:27.000 So when I hear them say, that was a mistake, we need to undo that, I say, so what does that mean for me?

01:26:33.000 If you never had these policies, perhaps I wouldn't even be here today.

01:26:37.000 Maybe that would make you happy.

01:26:39.000 Of course it wouldn't make you happy, right?

01:26:40.000 Okay, well then now you gotta deal with me.

01:26:42.000 Right.

01:26:42.000 I'm not just going to go quietly into the night.

01:26:46.000 I'm going to stand up and tell you to go F off. 0.99

01:26:48.000 We have equality in this country.

01:26:49.000 We have civil rights law, and they're seeking to undo it. 0.63

01:26:52.000 And unfortunately, there's a lot of them.

01:26:56.000 When I heard that California was doing that, I expected some sort of hiccup in the Black Lives Matter movement to be like a screeching halt on the brakes. 0.91

01:27:11.000 What are you trying to do, California?

01:27:13.000 Excuse me, what?

01:27:14.000 And they're like, no, affirmative action.

01:27:16.000 And it's like, okay, that was the title of the bill.

01:27:19.000 Right.

01:27:20.000 What was the language of the bill?

01:27:21.000 Did you read the bill?

01:27:22.000 Do you know what you're voting?

01:27:24.000 They have to vote.

01:27:25.000 If you live in California.

01:27:26.000 They know.

01:27:28.000 You do some research, please.

01:27:31.000 It's going to pass.

01:27:32.000 It's crazy, man.

01:27:32.000 Because what's going to happen is, so it's passed the Assembly and the Senate.

01:27:37.000 It's going to go for a referendum in November.

01:27:39.000 And it's going to say, support Affirmative Action Amendment.

01:27:43.000 And they are all going to say, yes.

01:27:46.000 And then, guess what happens the next day?

01:27:49.000 State institutions across the board will put up signs saying this race, that race, this race.

01:27:54.000 Yep.

01:27:55.000 Segregation. 0.89

01:27:55.000 Yep. 0.89

01:27:56.000 California will be... It's funny.

01:27:59.000 For a long time, they were on the forefront.

01:28:01.000 They were the leaders of all this, you know.

01:28:04.000 Still leading.

01:28:06.000 Still leading.

01:28:07.000 Not in the direction I want to go though.

01:28:09.000 Right, right, right.

01:28:10.000 You know, they're leading themselves backwards.

01:28:13.000 That's what they're doing now.

01:28:15.000 You know, they jumped into the air and slipped and now they're falling back.

01:28:21.000 Where everyone's like, we just decided, we're just walking steadily forward.

01:28:25.000 What do you do in California?

01:28:27.000 Because I don't, I don't understand.

01:28:29.000 I'm curious as to, like, what happens to, say, The Rock or Jessica Alba or, you know, people like that.

01:28:37.000 Vin Diesel.

01:28:38.000 These are people that are ethnically ambiguous.

01:28:42.000 When you have this idea of white privilege, one of the things I encounter is, and this is a story that my family has many experiences, When you get into arguments with with different groups who view you as either white or not white and they can't tell yeah So like during Occupy Wall Street, it was non-stop all the time because they try so hard to make everything about race Yep, they're like looking at me like They mostly called me Puerto Rican

01:29:11.000 For real.

01:29:11.000 Puerto Rican?

01:29:11.000 Yup.

01:29:13.000 I had one guy come up to me and he said it was like, it's great to see, you know, a Puerto Rican brother down here doing it.

01:29:17.000 And I'm like, I'm, I'm, that's not, I'm not, no.

01:29:20.000 But Mexican is what I get the most. 1.00

01:29:21.000 Okay.

01:29:22.000 And it really depends on like, if it, you know, it was summer.

01:29:25.000 And so I had, I had more of a tan or not.

01:29:26.000 I was tanned and I had, I have black facial hair.

01:29:29.000 Okay.

01:29:30.000 So people just immediately would come up to me.

01:29:32.000 When I was in Anaheim covering the Trump rallies, the, it was like Telemundo walked up to me and started speaking Spanish.

01:29:38.000 And I was like, Oh no, no, I'm sorry.

01:29:39.000 I'm sorry.

01:29:40.000 And that's what I tend to get.

01:29:42.000 When I was in Egypt, I thought I was Egyptian.

01:29:44.000 So perhaps it's a benefit that in some places nobody can tell.

01:29:47.000 But if they're trying to quantify and segregate everybody, then it just becomes a problem

01:29:52.000 for me.

01:29:53.000 And I'm like, nah man, look, I may be one person.

01:29:55.000 I may be part of a very small minority.

01:29:57.000 And the problem with that is each mixed race in the United States is the smallest minority, 1.00

01:30:03.000 but each person is a different mix.

01:30:05.000 It's like some people could be Afro-Cuban, you could be Jewish and black, you could be Asian and black, so there's no community.

01:30:12.000 I've never had more conversations about race than these past few months.

01:30:16.000 We gotta stop talking about it.

01:30:18.000 Why are we talking about it?

01:30:19.000 Because the Libertarian Party... They won't let it... No, no, no.

01:30:22.000 It wasn't just because of the Libertarian Party.

01:30:26.000 Obviously, the temperature of America right now is charged because of racism, and it's like...

01:30:33.000 I just, it blows me away.

01:30:35.000 I don't look at people, I look at the character of a person.

01:30:40.000 If you treat me nice, I want to be nice to you.

01:30:43.000 I want to be nice to everybody.

01:30:45.000 I want everyone to get along.

01:30:48.000 I'll give you the people don't people see one person who's being rude and equate their skin color to that rudeness instead of the the like this is kind of what um this uh shelby steel was talking about it bringing back individual accountability and that's huge we need to be accountable for our own actions And that's not what people are doing.

01:31:08.000 They're going, Oh, you were, you know, I'm going to stereotype you across the board and fill my checkbook of what skin color are you? 0.99

01:31:17.000 Okay, cool.

01:31:18.000 This is the type of person, all of the skin color people that I know that are like you, that's who all of them are.

01:31:25.000 It's like, anyone can be awesome.

01:31:28.000 Anyone can be.

01:31:29.000 And, and you know what?

01:31:30.000 They could be mean the next day, you know, should we go for the big conspiracy?

01:31:35.000 Yeah.

01:31:35.000 Oh, what is that?

01:31:37.000 China.

01:31:38.000 China.

01:31:39.000 Realizing that Trump is going to dismantle their efforts to, you know, seize our production and things like that.

01:31:45.000 Yeah.

01:31:46.000 Has gone all out and are exploiting racial tensions as a key weakness.

01:31:50.000 Yeah, I see it.

01:31:51.000 In a multicultural democratic system.

01:31:54.000 This is one thing about this.

01:31:58.000 There's a video of me going viral.

01:32:00.000 It's still going viral.

01:32:01.000 It's still being passed around.

01:32:03.000 Liberal, you know, says he's gonna vote for Trump.

01:32:07.000 In that video, I talk about how Democrats are in bed with China. 0.60

01:32:12.000 And you were like, yeah, they made their bet.

01:32:14.000 Trump was not supposed to win.

01:32:19.000 Hillary was supposed to win. 1.00

01:32:20.000 They probably lost all this money.

01:32:22.000 So that conversation you and I had was in that video.

01:32:25.000 And at the end of the video, I'm like, I'm voting Trump.

01:32:27.000 Like, I'm saying I don't mind.

01:32:29.000 But it got deleted.

01:32:31.000 Facebook deleted.

01:32:32.000 So fast.

01:32:33.000 And several times.

01:32:33.000 It is being pushed down.

01:32:35.000 They don't want people to think that at all.

01:32:37.000 It was probably the China bit, not the Trump bit.

01:32:40.000 That's what I'm alluding to right now.

01:32:41.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:32:42.000 It has nothing to do with Trump.

01:32:43.000 It has everything to do with the fact that China doesn't want anyone thinking about us.

01:32:48.000 Do you see what's going on with the TikTok stuff?

01:32:50.000 Yeah, dude.

01:32:50.000 Okay, so for those who don't know, TikTok steals your information.

01:32:57.000 Simply put, they steal your information.

01:32:58.000 They find it's more than just what's on your clipboard.

01:33:01.000 That was BS.

01:33:03.000 You accept TikTok, they have access.

01:33:06.000 And that's a Chinese company.

01:33:09.000 And we're trying to ban it.

01:33:10.000 Amazon just banned all of their employees that have access to the Amazon server.

01:33:15.000 Wait, wait.

01:33:16.000 Go ahead.

01:33:16.000 Apparently, a story came out saying that was a mistake.

01:33:18.000 Oh, what?

01:33:19.000 That they didn't say it?

01:33:19.000 They weren't supposed to ban it.

01:33:21.000 They weren't supposed to do it?

01:33:22.000 Well, they did.

01:33:23.000 I wonder if they did and then something happened and they were like, we're sorry, China.

01:33:26.000 Yeah, because... China said we're gonna ban Amazon. 0.81

01:33:28.000 Yeah, because China makes who knows how many of the products that Amazon slangs at everybody.

01:33:35.000 Did you see the Josh Hawley thing?

01:33:37.000 What, no, what was this?

01:33:37.000 When he asked the NBA to make like a, he said, if you're going to do, you know, political jerseys, why don't you do a back the blue, you know, support the troops or free Hong Kong.

01:33:47.000 Yeah.

01:33:48.000 And the guy responded with FU.

01:33:49.000 Wow.

01:33:50.000 All right.

01:33:51.000 Yeah.

01:33:51.000 It was FU, right?

01:33:52.000 Yep.

01:33:54.000 And then he tweeted out and he was like, don't criticize China.

01:33:56.000 Yeah, now we're seeing these TikTok things popping up where everyone's like, we love China.

01:34:02.000 China is amazing.

01:34:04.000 Yes, praise China.

01:34:05.000 Like as a joke?

01:34:06.000 Yeah, well, I don't know.

01:34:08.000 To be honest, I'm not sure.

01:34:11.000 I have no idea.

01:34:13.000 This world is crazy right now.

01:34:15.000 The world we're living in.

01:34:17.000 There's a journalist who covers this kind of youth internet culture stuff.

01:34:20.000 Her name is Taylor Lorenz.

01:34:22.000 Okay.

01:34:22.000 And she's been subjected to a big controversy.

01:34:24.000 For the record, everybody, Lydia just did some air quotes. 1.00

01:34:27.000 Oh, that's because she... Well, Tim's gonna talk about it because she covers the topic that I think is not very valuable.

01:34:34.000 But I'll let Tim explain it.

01:34:35.000 Whoa, whoa, you... Well, listen, listen, listen.

01:34:37.000 He said journalist and you were like... It's because... Just saying.

01:34:41.000 No, no, please, Tim, go ahead.

01:34:44.000 I happen to like Taylor Lorenz.

01:34:45.000 I think she's alright.

01:34:47.000 And I know a lot of people are mad at her, and I think her beat is reality.

01:34:52.000 And I mean this with all respect, it's like a reality TV MTV.

01:34:56.000 It's like, dude, we used to put 16 year old kids on MTV and film them doing every bit.

01:35:01.000 You know, Ryan Sheckler had his show when he was a kid.

01:35:03.000 So I think there's certain things to criticize her over.

01:35:05.000 For sure.

01:35:06.000 So I don't even know.

01:35:06.000 Go ahead.

01:35:07.000 She's a journalist for the New York Times.

01:35:09.000 And one of the things that sparked a controversy was that she was communicating with Kellyanne Conway's daughter.

01:35:14.000 OK.

01:35:15.000 And it was like a family drama.

01:35:17.000 And a lot of people were like, kid, you know, political actors, children are off limits.

01:35:22.000 And her argument was Kellyanne Conway's daughter was already putting this stuff out.

01:35:26.000 Right.

01:35:27.000 I'm not a fan of that.

01:35:28.000 You know, I agree.

01:35:29.000 Like, there's probably a line you shouldn't be messaging the kids.

01:35:32.000 But as it pertains to TikTok, She's been covering this.

01:35:36.000 And so the next bit of controversy is her perspective on this story about TikTok is these kids are all really freaking out.

01:35:45.000 They're going to lose their careers, their followings.

01:35:48.000 And what does that mean for them?

01:35:50.000 It's their connection to dopamine, actually.

01:35:53.000 Exactly.

01:35:53.000 That's what I tweeted.

01:35:54.000 I said, China got our children addicted to digital crack and now we got to cut them off. 1.00

01:35:59.000 Nailed it, dude.

01:36:00.000 That's exactly what I would have said.

01:36:02.000 But Twitter is the same thing.

01:36:03.000 Twitter and Instagram and Facebook is just... And the US is like, yo, we're the dealers, man.

01:36:08.000 We're not gonna let you, you know, interfere on what we got going on.

01:36:11.000 Because we control everything.

01:36:12.000 WhatsApp?

01:36:13.000 WhatsApp is huge around the world.

01:36:14.000 America?

01:36:15.000 Well, everybody wants to be cherished.

01:36:18.000 Everybody wants to feel valuable.

01:36:21.000 It's in our nature.

01:36:23.000 We're humans.

01:36:24.000 We come together, you know, as a community.

01:36:26.000 That's how we've gotten this far.

01:36:28.000 That's how we've taken over the planet.

01:36:30.000 So now, you know, we're deconstructing the family home.

01:36:34.000 So where are people getting that connection?

01:36:37.000 it's you know you're taught like oh it's it's so bad to live at your parents home you don't live on your own anymore and it's like yeah there's nothing wrong with that i don't care i mean i i live on my own i've lived on my own since i was 17 and you know it's like i don't see anything wrong with it because it's community now they're finding it online Now online, when you take that away from them, now, I mean, that is their community.

01:37:01.000 That's where they get that feeling, you know, that they're not getting in real life.

01:37:06.000 And we gotta bring that back.

01:37:08.000 That is very important.

01:37:09.000 I'm gonna be very careful in how I describe this, but let me just tell you how easy it is for some of these companies to trick kids into getting on their platform.

01:37:20.000 You create a social media app, you buy a handful of Facebook ads and Instagram ads, promoting the app, showing young people dancing and having a good time.

01:37:31.000 When a young person signs up, you then give them fake followers slowly over time so they get the dopamine trigger.

01:37:37.000 Wow, when I do a post, I get a bunch of likes.

01:37:39.000 This works.

01:37:41.000 Once they do, they start bragging about how many followers they have and their friends want to get involved.

01:37:46.000 So you plant the seeds using bots to trick them.

01:37:49.000 So here's what happens with Twitter and Instagram and Facebook.

01:37:54.000 They've actually talked about getting rid of Instagram likes because it's giving people a dopamine rush.

01:38:00.000 You post a photo, 10,000 likes, and you're like, yes!

01:38:03.000 The next day you want 11,000, you want more points, more points!

01:38:06.000 So they're like, maybe we'll get rid of it.

01:38:07.000 Twitter talked about getting rid of follower count, retweet count, like count.

01:38:11.000 Instagram has.

01:38:11.000 The reason they haven't is because that's the only reason they exist.

01:38:15.000 Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, they would not exist if there was no metrics on them.

01:38:20.000 That's true.

01:38:21.000 Because you'd post.

01:38:21.000 I agree.

01:38:22.000 And the only thing you'd see are replies.

01:38:24.000 And you might get some replies.

01:38:25.000 It might be fine.

01:38:26.000 So you might be willing to engage.

01:38:29.000 People are all about the follower count, the subscription count, how many views did I get this time?

01:38:34.000 So what happens is some apps, I'm being vague on purpose to avoid lawsuits, artificially exploit this.

01:38:41.000 It's just that simple.

01:38:43.000 You get a 17-year-old kid and he thinks he's talking to his fans and it's one guy in China pressing buttons going like, you know, there he goes, now he believes, you know, there's 50 more likes, he thinks it's working.

01:38:55.000 Just go ahead finish your they're addicted and when you go to take it away they go, but I have so many followers Here's the funny thing about the Taylor Lorenz story is why I brought it up Some people were saying I have got all of my followers on tik-tok.

01:39:06.000 It doesn't translate You know, I've got X followers on tik-tok, but barely any actually follow me on Twitter instagram So the reason I brought this up, we were talking about the deep web China conspiracy, right?

01:39:23.000 So now I'm seeing these weird TikTok videos of like how awesome China is and who has TikTok accounts?

01:39:31.000 Kids!

01:39:32.000 Young kids!

01:39:33.000 Who's the most susceptible to being converted to Whatever ideology you you shove down their throat when they have your attention when they're getting their dopamine from From them instead of their parents, you know It used to be like your parents would be like we're proud of you and it'd be like wow

01:39:54.000 I mean someone.

01:39:55.000 That's all I need.

01:39:56.000 I don't need the internet.

01:39:58.000 I don't need TV.

01:39:59.000 I don't need anything to know that I'm important.

01:40:02.000 Period.

01:40:02.000 Done.

01:40:03.000 Because my parents showed me that.

01:40:05.000 And it's like, that's gone.

01:40:07.000 And that is so essential.

01:40:10.000 Now they're getting it from China?

01:40:12.000 From fake bots?

01:40:13.000 I mean, sure, it's a conspiracy.

01:40:16.000 But everything I just said still remains true.

01:40:19.000 This is what I think the Trump side is missing.

01:40:22.000 Yeah.

01:40:23.000 Yeah.

01:40:23.000 But those are people that are not being paid.

01:40:25.000 They're doing it because they love it.

01:40:27.000 with the meme smiths and the jokes. But these are above board, on the level engagements.

01:40:33.000 And but those are people that are not being paid. They're doing it because they love it.

01:40:36.000 Right. So when it comes to say Carpe Donctum, who is the master meme smith of choice for the

01:40:42.000 president, and No.

01:40:43.000 Right.

01:40:43.000 And he puts these, I love that the lights went out at the debate, remember that one?

01:40:47.000 No.

01:40:48.000 And then all of a sudden smoke fills the room and then Trump walks out of the smoke

01:40:52.000 and it's playing Crazy Train or something.

01:40:54.000 It's just so good.

01:40:56.000 But it is meant to be fun, funny, and a joke.

01:40:58.000 Right.

01:40:59.000 It doesn't tell you anything about the president's positions.

01:41:01.000 It's meant to make you have a good time.

01:41:02.000 That helps Trump.

01:41:04.000 But what the left has is, first of all, all these big tech companies will ban conservative opinions,

01:41:10.000 Like, Reddit right now is the most insane echo chamber of establishment leftism.

01:41:15.000 Yeah.

01:41:17.000 But if Trump tried to buy an ad, banned.

01:41:20.000 They, you know, Facebook has, you know, flagged, or Twitter has flagged Trump.

01:41:24.000 So if Trump even wanted to create, you know, a propaganda wing, they wouldn't let him do it.

01:41:31.000 The establishment is completely opposed to him.

01:41:33.000 And so what Trump has is, for one, he has his base.

01:41:37.000 It's not particularly, it's relatively large.

01:41:41.000 I think they say it's like 35% of the country.

01:41:44.000 Then he has the center-right, Trump is better than the alternative.

01:41:48.000 So the Trump base, these are the people who will vote for Trump no matter what he does.

01:41:53.000 Then you have the more moderate conservatives who are like, I wish Trump could be better, but he's certainly better than Biden.

01:41:59.000 And then you have a bit of the moderates who are like, I guess I have to vote Trump and the Republicans because of what's happening.

01:42:07.000 What he doesn't get is He can't grow the zealous fanaticism because the machine is against him.

01:42:14.000 Okay.

01:42:14.000 So, and they're using that, that propagandistic machine to create the anti-Trump vote.

01:42:20.000 Which is really interesting now.

01:42:22.000 Joe Biden doesn't do anything, you know why?

01:42:23.000 Because nobody's voting for him.

01:42:25.000 Yeah, people are voting against Trump.

01:42:27.000 Exactly.

01:42:27.000 Not for Biden.

01:42:28.000 So Facebook announced they're gonna ban, they may ban political ads.

01:42:32.000 Which, I mean... That is a move against Trump, period, you know why?

01:42:35.000 Yeah, well, Project Veritas did that whole expose about how they Ban any Trump supporter, period.

01:42:42.000 No matter what.

01:42:43.000 They're like, oh, I see a Trump supporter.

01:42:45.000 Ban.

01:42:46.000 Well, so think about it this way.

01:42:48.000 If Joe, if people are voting for or against Trump, and they ban political ads, I think that would only hurt Trump.

01:42:54.000 No, I think the opposite.

01:42:55.000 Because Trump ads are already being pushed down and, you know, Gotten rid of, like we saw the Project Veritas.

01:43:04.000 But at least they reach some people.

01:43:06.000 Okay, well then all the Biden ads wouldn't reach anyone?

01:43:09.000 There are none.

01:43:09.000 Oh, there's none.

01:43:10.000 I mean, there are Biden ads, but no one is voting for Biden.

01:43:13.000 Right, okay.

01:43:13.000 So if Trump needs to counter the propaganda with his message, and they say we're banning all ads, and then the media continues to spam anti-Trump propaganda, people are going to vote for or against Trump.

01:43:25.000 That's it.

01:43:25.000 That's what the polls say.

01:43:27.000 That's why they don't care about Biden.

01:43:28.000 He is a nothing candidate because it's either for or against Trump.

01:43:32.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:43:33.000 So if Trump can't post ads, they don't need Biden to post ads.

01:43:37.000 They just need the media to do its thing.

01:43:39.000 And there you go.

01:43:40.000 Everything will be Trump bad.

01:43:42.000 Yeah.

01:43:43.000 That's the move.

01:43:43.000 And that's, I think, Twitter banned political ads, right?

01:43:46.000 Is it?

01:43:46.000 They did?

01:43:46.000 I believe so.

01:43:47.000 There you go.

01:43:48.000 Just to hurt Trump because nobody cares about Joe Biden.

01:43:53.000 But they care about and don't like Hillary. 1.00

01:43:56.000 So when they make that switch, that's going to be... When they do.

01:44:01.000 Okay, so listen.

01:44:03.000 I think it's hilarious it's come to this point, but if the Republicans don't take everything, and that's a big ask, and 230 reform doesn't happen, welcome to the resistance.

01:44:14.000 You will be, as far as anyone's concerned, in the gross minority in terms of culture.

01:44:20.000 Your ideas will be oppressed, shut down, and you'll be told to sit down and shut up because the machine is against you.

01:44:26.000 This is your last hope.

01:44:28.000 If the Democrats get in, even one, one branch, House, Senate, or presidency, 230 reform can happen.

01:44:36.000 That's true.

01:44:36.000 And it's, and like I said, it's not just 230 reform.

01:44:39.000 They've got to go one step beyond and actually like file suits and defend it and challenge it.

01:44:44.000 And that will only work.

01:44:45.000 Not only that, I mean, let's be real.

01:44:47.000 The Supreme Court just gave half the jurisdiction of Oklahoma back to the Native Americans, which I'm sure, you know, a lot of people are happy with, but is very detrimental precedent to the rest of the United States.

01:44:57.000 A lot of people are hitting me up about that, and I haven't looked fully into it, but from what I'm hearing from many different people, it's all about just the specifics of... Land ownership doesn't change.

01:45:10.000 It's just the specifics of Native Americans that live in that area that have been arrested for crimes.

01:45:18.000 So it's a narrow ruling, meaning they've asserted several positions and then said, This is about federal crimes committed on this land.

01:45:28.000 The state will not have jurisdiction over Native Americans.

01:45:31.000 But within their opinion, they said this is a reservation.

01:45:35.000 Which means precedent has been set to open the door for a wave of more lawsuits.

01:45:40.000 So that's why I say you're going to get two narratives on this one.

01:45:44.000 There's a lot of people who are like, no, no, no, no, don't worry about it.

01:45:46.000 But the problem with that is I don't trust it because there are quite literally people in Seattle, for instance, in the government saying they want to tear down the system.

01:45:53.000 Ilhan Omar saying tear down the system.

01:45:54.000 It's crazy.

01:45:55.000 So when the Supreme Court does this, I say, I'm not going to err on the side of it's no big deal.

01:46:01.000 I'm going to err on the side of, whoa, we should have, you know, Oklahoma needs to have jurisdiction over their state, man.

01:46:06.000 I agree.

01:46:07.000 So how about we jump to the Super Chats a little later than normal?

01:46:10.000 Yes, let's do it.

01:46:11.000 Let's do it.

01:46:12.000 We got BB who said, and I pulled this up on purpose, we are more aware than you think.

01:46:16.000 That's good news, I hope so.

01:46:18.000 Spin it! 0.99

01:46:19.000 Oh yeah!

01:46:20.000 I got you, BB.

01:46:21.000 I got you.

01:46:22.000 Likefrylikefry says, the story about the army almost makes me ashamed to be former army.

01:46:27.000 Got a shirt that says spin the UFO and those little dizzy?

01:46:32.000 Did you guys get the DVD Second Civil War I sent from Amazon?

01:46:34.000 Hope you enjoy it and hope you all enjoyed your freedom day.

01:46:38.000 Did we?

01:46:38.000 I have not seen that yet.

01:46:39.000 I don't think so.

01:46:40.000 Maybe we did.

01:46:41.000 I did enjoy my freedom day.

01:46:42.000 Oh, I think we maybe did.

01:46:42.000 I think we have it actually right there.

01:46:44.000 Oh, we do have a pile of it.

01:46:45.000 I pissed a lot of people off on Facebook that day.

01:46:48.000 Oh, worth it.

01:46:49.000 Freedom.

01:46:49.000 And it was absolutely worth it.

01:46:51.000 I don't know.

01:46:52.000 Yep.

01:46:53.000 George, thank you for the $69.69 says, I think Native Americans were of Asian descent and

01:46:58.000 the Spanish are white, so it would make sense that Tim looks Mexican.

01:47:01.000 Also, I low-key want the revolution to succeed.

01:47:05.000 Revolutionary heads roll first.

01:47:06.000 Oh man.

01:47:07.000 Spicy.

01:47:08.000 The Kulaks have no idea what they're fighting for. 0.99

01:47:10.000 That is correct, good sir.

01:47:11.000 I believe that the Asians crossed the Bering Strait at some point, and there's a lot of really interesting theories about cultural development based on proximity and space, but yes, that's my general understanding.

01:47:24.000 I could be wrong, but, you know, interesting stuff nonetheless.

01:47:26.000 But the comparison to the Kulaks is actually pretty on point. 1.00

01:47:31.000 I tell my activist friends, who started the revolution?

01:47:36.000 You did.

01:47:37.000 Yep.

01:47:38.000 So who is the threat to the new power structure?

01:47:41.000 You are!

01:47:42.000 Ding ding ding ding.

01:47:44.000 They don't get it.

01:47:44.000 That's what happens every time.

01:47:45.000 The intelligentsia.

01:47:47.000 They're the elite wealthy class who think that by siding with the revolutionaries, they will be spared.

01:47:53.000 But when the revolution happens, they laugh and say, you are a wealthy white person.

01:47:58.000 You're first against the wall.

01:47:59.000 Yep.

01:48:02.000 Halftome says, Liberal comes from Latin, liberalis, which means pertaining to a free man.

01:48:07.000 In politics, to be liberal is to want to extend democracy through change and reform.

01:48:12.000 One can see why that word had to be erased from our political lexicon.

01:48:18.000 Good point.

01:48:19.000 And it has been, man.

01:48:20.000 Right now.

01:48:21.000 I mean, look.

01:48:23.000 Leftists don't call themselves liberal. 0.97

01:48:25.000 They hate liberals.

01:48:27.000 Conservatives call all leftists liberals.

01:48:30.000 Not every single one of them.

01:48:31.000 But that's why I'm often like, nope, don't you do it.

01:48:35.000 Don't use that word liberal, but the media does it all the time.

01:48:37.000 Is that I.B.

01:48:38.000 Rippon over there? 0.99

01:48:39.000 That was back, yes.

01:48:41.000 I.B.

01:48:41.000 Rippon says, admit you love me, Tim.

01:48:43.000 Adam already admitted.

01:48:44.000 I will not be told what to do.

01:48:48.000 I will not be told.

01:48:49.000 Oh, well, I wasn't told.

01:48:50.000 I just openly admitted it.

01:48:52.000 So.

01:48:53.000 You have to tell me.

01:48:56.000 Here we go.

01:48:56.000 M.H.

01:48:57.000 says, I married a Korean and what you are saying about not being a full-class citizen is spot-on. 0.76

01:49:02.000 It's what I was told.

01:49:03.000 So I actually know this very prominent journalist who told me that I would be considered kind of a curiosity.

01:49:11.000 Almost like they would love to be like, what a strange thing you are.

01:49:17.000 But you are not.

01:49:17.000 That makes it so much better.

01:49:18.000 Oh, I don't like I don't care.

01:49:20.000 I'm like... You don't, I know, but... Yeah, yeah.

01:49:23.000 I'm an American.

01:49:23.000 Still not cool.

01:49:24.000 And in America, I am equal under the law.

01:49:26.000 Boom.

01:49:27.000 I am able to succeed.

01:49:27.000 Boom.

01:49:28.000 I can rise up from the gutter of Chicago and become successful.

01:49:31.000 Reach.

01:49:32.000 That's why I love this country.

01:49:33.000 Boom.

01:49:34.000 Yes.

01:49:34.000 This is why I really hate why they've always said the American Dream isn't... Hold on.

01:49:37.000 I gotta...

01:49:40.000 I gotta smash this like button.

01:49:41.000 You better be smashing that like button for that. 0.98

01:49:43.000 That's right.

01:49:44.000 America is awesome.

01:49:46.000 And you can make it.

01:49:47.000 You can.

01:49:48.000 Anyone can.

01:49:49.000 I wonder what my grandparents or great grandparents would think about my success today.

01:49:55.000 Having gone through the racist laws, racial covenants, and lack of civil rights to see, you know, It's ignorance.

01:50:06.000 They have no idea what it was.

01:50:07.000 The SJWs.

01:50:09.000 Yeah, they have zero clue.

01:50:11.000 I'll tell you this.

01:50:12.000 My ancestors are smiling down from heaven, and they're saying, keep fighting.

01:50:16.000 You've done it.

01:50:18.000 We built this future for you.

01:50:19.000 We fought this fight for you.

01:50:21.000 And now these people are trying to tear down what my ancestors had created to make sure that I would have a good life. 0.95

01:50:28.000 These people are evil. 0.99

01:50:30.000 These people are absolutely evil. 0.99

01:50:33.000 Let's see, let's see, let's jump back a little bit. 0.85

01:50:37.000 That's it.

01:50:37.000 Lopez says facts don't care about your feelings. These Marxists want communism. Nothing more,

01:50:42.000 nothing less. That's it. Tayson says no, Tim, I will tell you the meaning of life, but I

01:50:46.000 can't. I want to. I won't tell you the meaning of life, but I can tell you there's meaning

01:50:52.000 in life from Tucson. That is a good point. Birdman says, Hey, Tim and crew, we just had

01:50:57.000 an event in Daphne, Alabama at the restaurant. Five guys were employees refused service to

01:51:02.000 police officers because they are cops. Long story short, the employees were fired. Spin

01:51:07.000 the UFO, Adam.

01:51:09.000 Really?

01:51:11.000 Wow.

01:51:11.000 Good.

01:51:12.000 You know why?

01:51:12.000 Good.

01:51:13.000 If the owner of the business... No, no.

01:51:17.000 My position is you're a member of the community.

01:51:19.000 You provide for the community.

01:51:20.000 Yeah.

01:51:21.000 I pay.

01:51:21.000 You provide service.

01:51:22.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:51:23.000 If the employees decide, you fire them.

01:51:27.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:51:29.000 Good riddance.

01:51:30.000 This is actually a really interesting conundrum, because being a cop isn't an immutable characteristic.

01:51:34.000 Right.

01:51:35.000 It's a job choice.

01:51:35.000 Yeah.

01:51:36.000 But in that regard, my argument actually stands tenfold.

01:51:40.000 The point I make is, I actually sat down and thought about the Baker situation.

01:51:44.000 Do you know the story?

01:51:45.000 I don't know.

01:51:46.000 The Baker in, what was it, Colorado?

01:51:48.000 Colorado, Denver, yep.

01:51:50.000 So a gay couple wanted a wedding cake, and he said, I will give you any cake you want, but I won't write what you want me to write. 0.97

01:51:57.000 So they sued.

01:51:58.000 He won, I guess.

01:51:59.000 And I actually really thought hard about, like, what is the most apt outcome.

01:52:03.000 And I decided for me personally, based on my view of things, this is a city with a brick-and-mortar building, which has provided infrastructure, which has police, which has fire department, all of these wonderful services that are paid for not just by them, but by everybody.

01:52:17.000 So if somebody lives there and comes in, I don't think it's fair that a business can reap the benefits of the taxes I pay and then deny me a service because they're occupying a space that someone else could occupy.

01:52:27.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:52:28.000 Yeah, I get it.

01:52:28.000 There's a certain community responsibility.

01:52:30.000 Right.

01:52:32.000 So again, I think that changes when you're doing private services and consulting and stuff, but that's the argument.

01:52:37.000 If you're a police officer, you're quite literally like a function of the community.

01:52:42.000 That's a good point.

01:52:42.000 To deny service to a cop is even worse.

01:52:44.000 Yeah.

01:52:46.000 Reconcile that left, that I'm like, well, cops are especially deserving of service because they are actually being paid by the community and by your taxes.

01:52:55.000 You know what I mean?

01:52:57.000 I'm not saying everybody has to agree with my stance on the bakery thing, because I think libertarians disagree.

01:53:01.000 That's just how I personally view it.

01:53:04.000 The first argument I get from most people is that taxes are theft.

01:53:07.000 And my argument is, right, if we removed the tax system in general, I would agree with your argument.

01:53:14.000 The way I see it, though, is that Not everyone chooses to live where they live, which creates the problem.

01:53:19.000 But for people, you know, so if you choose to live somewhere, you're buying a subscription to that community.

01:53:26.000 Like, if you move there, you know what you're getting yourself into.

01:53:29.000 True.

01:53:29.000 Interesting.

01:53:30.000 You know?

01:53:30.000 So, but there's challenges because where can you go where you can't pay taxes?

01:53:33.000 That I totally understand.

01:53:34.000 It's, it's, it's a, there's a whole lot of ethical arguments emerging with the, the, the expansion of, I mean, the fact that basically every bit of land on this planet is owned by somebody.

01:53:43.000 Yeah.

01:53:43.000 Except for the oceans.

01:53:44.000 I'm sure you can find some open land in the middle of Alaska somewhere, but it's where no one will know.

01:53:50.000 Did you know that China owns large swaths of like of land throughout the West?

01:53:55.000 No.

01:53:56.000 Yeah.

01:53:56.000 In Alaska?

01:53:56.000 Yeah.

01:53:57.000 Actually, a real estate agent told us this.

01:53:59.000 Wyoming.

01:54:00.000 Is that Wyoming?

01:54:01.000 Yeah.

01:54:02.000 China has been buying up cheap and open land throughout the United States.

01:54:06.000 Wow.

01:54:06.000 They've been doing it in all these different countries, man.

01:54:08.000 What a surprise.

01:54:10.000 People don't get it.

01:54:10.000 They got what's it called?

01:54:11.000 A thousand year plan or something.

01:54:13.000 Yeah.

01:54:13.000 China's scary.

01:54:14.000 I think in long term.

01:54:15.000 Well, they're taking over.

01:54:18.000 Not if I can help it.

01:54:20.000 Not if Trump can help it.

01:54:22.000 He's doing what he can.

01:54:24.000 I wonder if the goal of the establishment corporations and Democrats was allow a peaceful transition of power to China.

01:54:36.000 Ooh.

01:54:37.000 We've talked about Thucydides's trap.

01:54:39.000 Yeah, no, I get what you're saying.

01:54:41.000 That's a frightening premise.

01:54:43.000 It's better to bend the knee than nuclear war, isn't it?

01:54:45.000 That's what you've been saying.

01:54:46.000 It's like those people are like, well, I might as well just go along with it because then I might end up with a nicer house.

01:54:53.000 But we know what happens to the revolutionaries.

01:54:58.000 I wrote a song about it!

01:54:59.000 Yes you did.

01:54:59.000 It's a good one.

01:55:00.000 That I agree with, absolutely.

01:55:01.000 Kaleem Mim says, my coworker told me that the thing about America is it's great to create

01:55:06.000 your own business and succeed, but you don't get the introductions on how to figure it

01:55:10.000 out on your own.

01:55:12.000 That I agree with, absolutely.

01:55:13.000 I remember when I was younger, angry.

01:55:16.000 I had the gumption, but I did not know what the first step was to actually do something.

01:55:21.000 And I learned when I got older, it's literally do something.

01:55:24.000 That's for real.

01:55:25.000 So I literally bought a bus ticket to New York and just walked around an empty park in New York.

01:55:29.000 And then from there, just kept doing things.

01:55:32.000 And starting that little tiny snowball down the hill, for a long time it's a tiny snowball, but eventually it's a boulder and it's going full speed.

01:55:39.000 But you gotta start by just literally doing it.

01:55:41.000 So my advice, I can only really give you advice to people who want to work in media, But whenever someone asks me about journalism, it's simple.

01:55:48.000 Work a crummy job, save as much as you can, sleep on couches, save your money, and then go somewhere and film it.

01:55:55.000 That simple.

01:55:56.000 It just makes me think of the, I don't remember who says it, but we're not going to get to Mars until we beat the Xbox, something like that?

01:56:03.000 Oh, it was, if we ever shake hands with aliens, it will be not because we overcame the Xbox, I'm sorry, not because we overcame nuclear weapons, but because we overcame the Xbox.

01:56:14.000 Right, right, exactly.

01:56:15.000 Think about it this way.

01:56:17.000 It's peak privilege to just be able to play video games.

01:56:21.000 If you don't have a good job and are stable, you shouldn't be playing video games.

01:56:25.000 Or start playing video games and make sure you stream it.

01:56:29.000 To make it something that you do.

01:56:30.000 To make a business.

01:56:31.000 Make a streaming business.

01:56:32.000 That's a good point.

01:56:33.000 And there are a lot of streamers who are not really good, but they're fun people to hang out with.

01:56:37.000 They're personalities.

01:56:38.000 They have good characters.

01:56:40.000 There were a bunch of streamers I used to watch that I would just turn it on and then go about my day.

01:56:45.000 And I'd hear them just talking and saying funny things and playing the game.

01:56:48.000 And I'm like, it's fun to, you know, I'm sure that's why people are listening to us.

01:56:51.000 You know what I mean?

01:56:52.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:56:53.000 So that's the key, man.

01:56:54.000 Yep.

01:56:55.000 Do it.

01:56:55.000 So my favorite hoodie or sweatshirt I wear a lot on the show.

01:57:00.000 It just says, uh, do, go do.

01:57:03.000 It says great things, but then great is just crossed out because it's like, you can't do something great until you start doing something.

01:57:11.000 So go, go do something.

01:57:12.000 Go, go do things.

01:57:14.000 I love it.

01:57:15.000 Offline.

01:57:16.000 Joseph brings up a good point.

01:57:17.000 He says, tattoo artists would be hurt by this in terms of the businesses, saying, same basic structure argument as the baker.

01:57:25.000 I'll do any tattoo you want, but I will not do a swastika. 0.65

01:57:29.000 That's interesting.

01:57:30.000 Yeah.

01:57:31.000 Political.

01:57:32.000 So in Washington, D.C., if you're a tattoo parlor and someone asks for it, you got to do it.

01:57:36.000 Interesting.

01:57:37.000 D.C.

01:57:37.000 is an interesting place.

01:57:38.000 They protect political party as a human right.

01:57:44.000 Which means if you walked around wearing the worst of the worst, everyone's gotta, you know what you could do?

01:57:49.000 You could walk into Starbucks and you can wear all the craziest whatever you want and they could not kick you out.

01:57:52.000 Wow.

01:57:53.000 It would be a human rights violation.

01:57:55.000 It's because D.C.

01:57:56.000 is where we have to engage in politics.

01:57:58.000 Yeah.

01:57:58.000 And what would happen if Starbucks was like, we don't serve Republicans here.

01:58:02.000 Right.

01:58:03.000 So I'm fairly confident in D.C.

01:58:05.000 wearing a MAGA hat, they just, the people who hate you will grumble.

01:58:08.000 Yeah.

01:58:08.000 They can't do anything about it.

01:58:09.000 Yeah, one of these days maybe I'll wear one on the show.

01:58:11.000 Just kidding.

01:58:15.000 Have Tome says, I'm a member of no party.

01:58:17.000 I have no ideology.

01:58:18.000 I'm a rationalist. 0.99

01:58:19.000 I do what I can in the international struggle between science and reason and the barbarism, superstition and stupidity that's all around us. 1.00

01:58:27.000 And there's so much of it, man. 0.99

01:58:28.000 It's so much of it.

01:58:29.000 It's such a bummer.

01:58:30.000 Yeah, it's true.

01:58:32.000 Let's see.

01:58:32.000 Turtleburger says, I love the Goya thing.

01:58:34.000 Anti-racist fight racism and white supremacy by boycotting a minority-run business because he thanked the racist president who was signing in an executive order supporting a minority community.

01:58:45.000 Well said.

01:58:48.000 And not only that, that minority company does so much for the community.

01:58:54.000 I've been looking into it more, you know, because today I was just kind of like, this is crazy.

01:58:57.000 This is hilarious.

01:58:58.000 What's going on?

01:58:59.000 Right there, basically.

01:59:00.000 So what I said, the context wasn't familiar.

01:59:02.000 It's basically that.

01:59:04.000 The CEO of Goya said thank you to Donald Trump.

01:59:07.000 And then all of a sudden, all of these lefties were like, you know, Google, I think AOC said, time to Google search how to make your own adobo.

01:59:14.000 And I'm like, what?

01:59:16.000 It's food products.

01:59:18.000 You know what I said?

01:59:20.000 I mean this legitimately.

01:59:21.000 Bill de Blasio said we are banning large public gatherings except Black Lives Matter.

01:59:29.000 He said that, right?

01:59:30.000 Yes.

01:59:31.000 I would argue that supporting Goya is more important than Black Lives Matter for one reason. 0.97

01:59:37.000 Why?

01:59:38.000 Goya employs our essential workers during a pandemic who are risking their safety directly to make sure there is enough food for people in this country.

01:59:47.000 That's a good point.

01:59:47.000 Therefore, I believe I should have a right to march in support of Goya in a large gathering of hundreds of thousands of people in New York City.

01:59:55.000 And who is Bill de Blasio to argue that my cause is less important than his cause?

01:59:59.000 I like it.

02:00:01.000 Now I'm not going to organize a Goya protest, I'm sorry.

02:00:04.000 But I will go buy Goya.

02:00:05.000 Me too.

02:00:05.000 Dude, did you see the meme I retweeted?

02:00:07.000 No.

02:00:08.000 Cassandra Fairbanks tweeted, I'm about to own the libs deliciously. 1.00

02:00:12.000 Oh yeah, I saw that.

02:00:12.000 And then she posted a bunch of photos of all the Goya stuff she was ordering online.

02:00:16.000 And then someone quoted it saying, seasoning your meal to own the libs.

02:00:20.000 Yeah.

02:00:21.000 I just loved it.

02:00:22.000 Because it's the most wholesome like culture war battle.

02:00:24.000 But this is what really pisses me off.

02:00:26.000 Seasoning your meals.

02:00:27.000 This really pisses me off because we got people all over the place without food, right?

02:00:32.000 They're starving people in the world and it's like, I've heard it my whole life basically.

02:00:37.000 Finish your plate.

02:00:38.000 But now they're dumping Goya products in the trash.

02:00:40.000 Filming it like, oh yeah!

02:00:42.000 Really?

02:00:42.000 Boycott Goya.

02:00:43.000 During a pandemic?

02:00:45.000 Really you're gonna throw away food.

02:00:48.000 You're gonna throw away food right now instead of okay If you truly believe that you could take your Goya products and go give it to a food shelter Go give it to some homeless people that might need it Go give it to a church that will you know, bring it to the right place.

02:01:01.000 It's like you are just you're losing my respect and If you even had any to begin with.

02:01:09.000 But it's crazy, I'm seeing it all over the place.

02:01:10.000 They think it's cool.

02:01:12.000 It's like, what kind of virtue signaling are you doing?

02:01:15.000 Remember when conservatives burned their Nike gear over Colin Kaepernick?

02:01:19.000 I did hear about that, I remember that. 0.57

02:01:20.000 The thing about that was, I thought it was dumb to burn the gear, but there's no big deal in destroying your own shoes.

02:01:26.000 They already bought it.

02:01:27.000 Yeah, it's like their shoes, whatever, I get it.

02:01:29.000 It's kind of a waste, but whatever.

02:01:31.000 Yeah, it's like they already bought the product.

02:01:34.000 Yeah, I already got your money. Well, they're throwing it away. They're not gonna wear it anymore

02:01:37.000 They're not gonna wrap the brand so I know what the Goya food is. It's mostly right. No and beans

02:01:42.000 You're throwing away canned beans for for the internet to see your little

02:01:47.000 Right guaranteed. They all hit stop post set the phone down and took it out of the trash

02:01:54.000 Put it back into the cabinet or made their deep their their dinner, you know

02:01:59.000 So we got one from Evodio Tovar who says, man, I was gonna vote for Jojo.

02:02:03.000 After listening to this, I think I'm going for Trump at this point.

02:02:07.000 I think we all need to.

02:02:08.000 That's such a bummer.

02:02:10.000 The Libertarian Party, I've always been kind of like, well, I get it. 0.93

02:02:14.000 Their their candidates are the scraggly taxidermy fox.

02:02:18.000 But it's 10 o'clock.

02:02:21.000 It is indeed.

02:02:21.000 Adam is cracking open the whiskey.

02:02:23.000 Look, man, I've often said this.

02:02:25.000 My personal ideology falls on the left libertarian spectrum, of which there are few people because it is probably the most difficult political spectrum which you could exist on.

02:02:35.000 It requires Reasoned cooperation to create a functioning system.

02:02:41.000 And it's very difficult.

02:02:42.000 You're herding cats.

02:02:44.000 Right-wing libertarianism is typically free market libertarianism.

02:02:47.000 Everyone does their thing within reason, non-aggression principle, but you can buy and trade and the invisible hand guides things.

02:02:53.000 And I've always maintained, if I had to choose which quadrant our government would exist in, there's only one that makes the most sense.

02:03:02.000 The libertarian right.

02:03:03.000 You know why?

02:03:03.000 How come?

02:03:04.000 Within the libertarian right, I can have my left libertarian little society.

02:03:08.000 That's a good point.

02:03:10.000 Even within our system, I think Ron Paul said this, if people want socialism so bad, why don't they go off and make a socialist community?

02:03:17.000 Some people have actually done this.

02:03:19.000 There's a really famous commune of like a hundred people, and you can sign up to live there, and everyone works, and they share in the bounty of all the work they do.

02:03:27.000 But it's a hundred people or so.

02:03:29.000 Right.

02:03:30.000 Within America, you can move somewhere, get your buddies, and have your commune.

02:03:34.000 It's true.

02:03:34.000 There's no law against this.

02:03:37.000 Why won't they do it?

02:03:38.000 Because it takes work, Tim.

02:03:40.000 Because they're not really libertarian.

02:03:42.000 They're authoritarians who want to steal your stuff.

02:03:44.000 That's right.

02:03:45.000 They want other people to do the work.

02:03:46.000 Exactly.

02:03:47.000 It's easy.

02:03:47.000 They want your stuff and they don't want to do any work for it.

02:03:49.000 Okay, before we move on, I don't know if we're going to do music now.

02:03:52.000 We are.

02:03:52.000 You should play first.

02:03:54.000 What should I play?

02:03:55.000 A song.

02:03:57.000 So I want to notice somebody right here.

02:03:58.000 This is iRezTV says, Notice me, Daddy.

02:04:02.000 And in parentheses, it's Adam.

02:04:04.000 Sorry, Tim.

02:04:05.000 You're great.

02:04:06.000 But he did go viral, so...

02:04:09.000 So?

02:04:10.000 That's it.

02:04:12.000 It was a hefty super chat.

02:04:13.000 Oh, nice!

02:04:15.000 Was it new or was it... Yeah, it just happened.

02:04:18.000 Oh, excellent, excellent.

02:04:18.000 Thank you for that hefty super chat.

02:04:20.000 I see you, I notice you, and I appreciate you.

02:04:40.000 It is Friday.

02:04:41.000 And so we actually hang out for about another half an hour and we're going to play some music and I guess I'm going to play a song if my throat works because this is like hour six of me talking today.

02:04:49.000 My throat is getting dry.

02:05:27.000 I'll put it on Parler, too.

02:05:28.000 So, actually, I have, so, but I'll do it again, obviously.

02:05:32.000 And check it out.

02:05:33.000 We're going to be talking about some cool stuff.

02:05:36.000 I was a big fan of the deep dive into Tesla.

02:05:38.000 We're probably going to be doing deep dives into whatever.

02:05:42.000 Mostly people, really cool people.

02:05:44.000 I was going to say the homework is to spread the good word of the Timcast IRL podcast.

02:05:49.000 Spread the message.

02:05:50.000 Tell all your friends.

02:05:51.000 The greatest podcast.

02:05:53.000 So we are on iTunes, Spotify, and Google.

02:05:56.000 I think we're still trying to get on a bunch of other.

02:05:57.000 We're on iHeart.

02:05:58.000 We're on iHeart?

02:05:59.000 Yeah.

02:05:59.000 We need to get on Pandora, that's for sure.

02:06:01.000 So we're going to be doing that too, so you can find us basically everywhere, and you should, and you should hang out.

02:06:05.000 But the other news is we're going to be creating, we're working on a website, so feel free to, do we have an email for people?

02:06:11.000 I have spintheufo at gmail.com.

02:06:13.000 Alright, spintheufo at gmail.com, we're looking for like a full service web development Oh, no, actually we're not.

02:06:19.000 We found one, didn't we?

02:06:20.000 We did.

02:06:20.000 We do have one.

02:06:21.000 Okay, never mind.

02:06:22.000 I'm wrong.

02:06:22.000 I shouldn't have said anything.

02:06:24.000 We did find somebody.

02:06:25.000 But you can send stories there.

02:06:26.000 Lydia does.

02:06:27.000 She takes care of that email. 0.65

02:06:29.000 I go through it every day.

02:06:30.000 If you want to send her some stories, that'd be great.

02:06:34.000 We're going to hang out for a little bit.

02:06:35.000 Do you want to set up the mics now for the music?

02:06:37.000 Yeah, I'll go set you up.

02:06:39.000 Because I've never done it before.

02:06:41.000 So for those that are hanging out, let me just say, as it pertains to the cultural commentary and political stuff, we're winding down.

02:06:50.000 But you are free to continue to hang out because it turns out Adam and I are both really, apparently, really good at playing music.

02:06:57.000 And we're going to.

02:06:58.000 So we're not going away just yet.

02:07:00.000 So you're still, you know, still stay, hang, and we'll just, you know, jam out and hang out.

02:07:03.000 Are you ready for me to turn the mic on?

02:07:06.000 Well, I can plug it in whenever you're ready.

02:07:08.000 You have to plug it in first.

02:07:10.000 Alright.

02:07:10.000 Before I turn it on.

02:07:11.000 I'm gonna mute the audio now for those listening so I can plug this in so it doesn't blow out your eardrums.

02:07:14.000 And now we're back.

02:07:24.000 Thank you.

02:07:26.000 Testing, testing.

02:07:26.000 It's still giving me feedback though.

02:07:28.000 One, two, three.

02:07:29.000 Oh, it is?

02:07:29.000 Yeah.

02:07:31.000 There we go, I think we're good.

02:07:34.000 Whoa.

02:07:34.000 Uh oh.

02:07:35.000 What?

02:07:36.000 Something happened.

02:07:37.000 Let me double check everything.

02:07:38.000 Did everyone's ears just explode?

02:07:43.000 I think, Adam, I think you have to go first.

02:07:45.000 Why?

02:07:45.000 Because I need to adjust the levels for the ambient mic.

02:07:49.000 Well, let me go grab my whiskey.

02:07:51.000 There we go.

02:07:52.000 Adam's gonna play y'all a song.

02:07:54.000 Or you know what?

02:07:55.000 I'll just do it.

02:07:56.000 Do you know how to adjust the levels for the I'll play a song in E. Do we have the jam cam on?

02:08:06.000 Yeah, it should be on.

02:08:08.000 Yeah.

02:08:11.000 ♪ ♪

02:08:43.000 ♪ Alright.

02:08:53.000 Oh, that was better.

02:08:55.000 Are we good?

02:08:56.000 Do it to it!

02:08:56.000 Alright, well, first off, thanks everyone for still hanging out to listen to us both play.

02:09:02.000 I have no idea what I'm going to play, so I'm just going to play She's Just.

02:09:06.000 This is a song that I wrote a long time ago.

02:09:11.000 10 years ago now, I guess.

02:09:13.000 It's just gone too far, she said, as she took another drink at the bar.

02:09:35.000 And to tell you what the truth is, I just never knew when to stop.

02:09:44.000 I never knew when to stop She was sitting in the corner 1.00

02:09:54.000 you Trying to pick up her pride.

02:09:57.000 They didn't disown her.

02:10:00.000 Oh, but she wished that they had tried.

02:10:02.000 Been gone three summers.

02:10:05.000 Made all the difference in the world.

02:10:08.000 Least ten years older in her mind.

02:10:11.000 But that's alright.

02:10:13.000 Moved to California.

02:10:15.000 Out to live that western dream.

02:10:18.000 But her eastern persona wouldn't ever, ever let her be.

02:10:27.000 She always ended up missing home.

02:10:32.000 She always ended up missing home.

02:10:38.000 Missing home So many before her she's just just another face in the

02:10:55.000 crowd Oh

02:10:58.000 you you

02:11:01.000 Well it's becoming clearer to her, but she is not ready right now.

02:11:10.000 Well, she's not ready to go.

02:11:12.000 And tensions grew bolder.

02:11:14.000 Impatience picked up steam.

02:11:17.000 Too many people told her, you have to stay.

02:11:21.000 And take what's in your reach.

02:11:23.000 I won't just stand here, watching all my plans fall through.

02:11:28.000 Cause I've discovered, it's all about the time I use.

02:11:32.000 Moved to California, out to live that Western dream.

02:11:39.000 But her eastern persona wouldn't ever ever let her be.

02:11:48.000 She always end up missing home.

02:11:53.000 She always end up missing home.

02:11:59.000 Missing home Thanks for watching! Please subscribe!

02:12:07.000 Thank you.

02:12:07.000 It's just gone too far, she said. She took another drink at the bar.

02:12:14.000 And to tell you what the truth is, I just never knew when to stop.

02:12:31.000 I just never knew when to stop.

02:12:38.000 Woo! 0.99

02:12:39.000 Come on, guys.

02:12:40.000 Thank you, everybody.

02:12:45.000 Oh, man.

02:12:50.000 Oh, let's see if I can play some music, huh?

02:12:52.000 Don't forget to smash that like button.

02:12:54.000 Smash that like button.

02:12:58.000 How's it going, y'all?

02:13:00.000 I'm gonna play a song that was not written to be performed on an acoustic guitar, but everybody really liked that I was playing it before, when we were jamming, so... I'm gonna play it.

02:13:09.000 Everything look good on your guys' end?

02:13:11.000 Yeah.

02:13:14.000 Let's see what I can do.

02:13:17.000 Maybe I should play it a little bit more acoustic-y, I suppose.

02:13:24.000 Back to the start, to the lines where you were coming from You retraced your steps but now they're gone You only

02:13:53.000 wanted something so beautiful Enter the dream where all the promises you couldn't keep

02:14:01.000 Went away ever so blissfully You only wanted something so beautiful

02:14:09.000 Back to the front, to the place where you had seen it gone You retraced your steps, but now it's lost.

02:14:36.000 You only wanted something so beautiful.

02:14:41.000 Enter the dream of all the promises you couldn't keep.

02:14:45.000 Drift away ever so blissfully.

02:14:49.000 You only wanted something so beautiful.

02:14:53.000 Here it goes again.

02:14:55.000 Just like you thought it would, my friend.

02:14:58.000 But you don't know now.

02:15:02.000 It's a million to one.

02:15:06.000 Enter the dream.

02:15:08.000 All the promises you couldn't keep.

02:15:11.000 But you don't know now.

02:15:15.000 It's a million to one It's a million to one

02:15:47.000 It's a million to one you

02:15:52.000 And here it goes again, just like you thought it would my friend, but you don't know now

02:16:02.000 It's a million to one, enter the dream All the promises you couldn't keep, but you don't know now

02:16:14.000 It's a million to one It's a million to one

02:16:42.000 Nice dude. Hell yeah.

02:16:48.000 Well, honestly, I didn't really have any plans for what I was going to play, but I love this song, and it gets in my head all the time.

02:16:59.000 It's not mine.

02:17:02.000 And we're not allowed to cover stuff, but there's a loophole.

02:17:05.000 Let's see.

02:17:07.000 I can cover Tim's music.

02:17:09.000 Oh, here we go.

02:17:10.000 And no one has to know.

02:17:12.000 Well, obviously, I just told everyone.

02:17:14.000 But this one's called Words in a Book.

02:17:17.000 I've heard the song.

02:17:18.000 When I first met him, we jammed a little bit, and he played the song, and I was like, dude, you got some skill, man.

02:17:23.000 And it's always been in my head, seriously, for frickin' eight years.

02:17:27.000 I love the song.

02:32:36.000 It is 10.32. Arguably about that time, but you know.

02:32:43.000 Alright, he's cutting it off.

02:33:01.000 But I'm bringing Adam Kass back.

02:33:03.000 So tomorrow night, 8pm, we're gonna talk a bunch and then we'll probably jam some songs afterwards.

02:33:08.000 Why not?

02:33:09.000 Saturday night thing.

02:33:10.000 So yeah, tune in.

02:33:11.000 Thanks for hanging out with us.

02:33:13.000 I'm gonna head back over there.

02:33:14.000 We're gonna switch things back up.

02:33:19.000 So, thanks for hanging out for this Friday Night Jam session.

02:33:22.000 We go a little long, and I'm grateful to everybody who hangs out.

02:33:26.000 It's kind of crazy because right now, because of COVID, there's no large gatherings.

02:33:30.000 That's a good point.

02:33:31.000 But you played a song to 20,000 people.

02:33:32.000 Isn't that crazy?

02:33:33.000 That's amazing.

02:33:34.000 Wow.

02:33:34.000 For those of you that are watching, just to let you know, some of the biggest venues for your average band will have 1,000 seats.

02:33:39.000 What?

02:33:40.000 For real.

02:33:40.000 That's crazy.

02:33:42.000 Yeah, I worked at a venue in Chicago.

02:33:43.000 Oh, wow.

02:33:44.000 Thinking about it is insane.

02:33:45.000 It's like, I just played for 20,000 people.

02:33:47.000 Is that what you're saying?

02:33:48.000 I did, yeah.

02:33:50.000 Thank you.

02:33:50.000 And then it leveled off.

02:33:51.000 That's all I have to say.

02:33:52.000 I think like 12,000 people hang out just chillin'.

02:33:54.000 No, it was 15 when, it was like 16 when you played.

02:33:56.000 I just mean like just, you know, just as you were finishing off.

02:33:58.000 Right, right, right.

02:33:59.000 You know, like there's still 12,000 people who are like hanging out.

02:34:01.000 That's crazy.

02:34:01.000 I mean, you guys rock.

02:34:03.000 I gotta admit, there's a certain weird feeling where I'm just, we're just sitting in the house and we're like cameras on, we're talking about our feelings and playing music and it's like people are hanging out with us.

02:34:14.000 I mean, that's literally what we do.

02:34:17.000 I know.

02:34:18.000 And you got whiskey.

02:34:19.000 Talk about the worst job in the world, man.

02:34:21.000 Man, I tweeted last week after the jam and I was just like, I love my job.

02:34:26.000 The sentiment remains.

02:34:27.000 It resonates.

02:34:28.000 I really do love my job.

02:34:29.000 We are moving forward with a big expansion project for those that have been hanging out.

02:34:33.000 We've been talking about it.

02:34:35.000 I'm hoping we can get it going within like a month and a half.

02:34:40.000 Yeah.

02:34:41.000 Indoor skate park, live skate sessions.

02:34:44.000 Yes.

02:34:46.000 So we have a big plan right now.

02:34:47.000 We're going to have like a members only site with live access.

02:34:50.000 So when we're skating the mini ramp, because we do like almost every day when it's not, well, with an indoor park, we're skating every day.

02:34:55.000 We're going to be skating all the time.

02:34:57.000 Let me tell you about my schedule.

02:35:00.000 The first thing I do when I wake up, you know what it is?

02:35:03.000 What is it?

02:35:03.000 I go onto Twitter and I go onto Reddit.

02:35:06.000 Hey, that's what I do.

02:35:07.000 Reddit's become less effective, but for the most part, I immediately start looking at my various news websites, news sources, and Twitter feed.

02:35:14.000 As soon as I wake up, I grab my phone and I'm sourcing news, grabbing links and storing them, being like, these are interesting things.

02:35:19.000 I'm reading about what's going on at 7 a.m.

02:35:23.000 I usually get done with all of my recording around like 3.30 or so.

02:35:27.000 Because those clips go up at like 6.

02:35:29.000 And then I go in the skate park.

02:35:31.000 I skate for a couple hours.

02:35:33.000 Come back in.

02:35:34.000 Eat some food.

02:35:35.000 And then we come back in here.

02:35:36.000 And you're there.

02:35:37.000 And we do the next show.

02:35:38.000 For a long time.

02:35:40.000 And then at about 11.30 or so, I'm in bed.

02:35:43.000 And over the past couple of weeks, I've been watching every episode reruns of The Outer Limits.

02:35:47.000 I love that show.

02:35:48.000 I've never seen it.

02:35:49.000 So good.

02:35:49.000 And I'm gonna do Tales from the Crypt next.

02:35:51.000 I am excited to read this book.

02:35:53.000 Thomas Sowell, dude, is a legend.

02:35:55.000 Can I get my camera? 0.95

02:35:59.000 Black rednecks and white liberals. 0.99

02:36:02.000 I've been hearing about this book. 0.92

02:36:04.000 This guy, he's a genius in his own right.

02:36:09.000 A lot of people need to look into him if you don't know him.

02:36:11.000 Thomas Sowell, man.

02:36:12.000 He's got a Twitter account where they post quotes from him.

02:36:16.000 The quotes are on fire non-stop.

02:36:19.000 It's great.

02:36:19.000 Awesome stuff.

02:36:21.000 So it's Friday.

02:36:23.000 We'll be back Monday at 8 p.m.

02:36:25.000 live.

02:36:26.000 Make sure to follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube and all that stuff at TimCast.

02:36:30.000 And Parler.

02:36:31.000 And Parler.

02:36:31.000 Yeah, and for those that don't know, I mean, there's probably an overlap where people don't know that I actually have two other channels, because I'm sure, but I actually have two other channels that are just me doing, like, news commentary.

02:36:40.000 It's very different from what we do here.

02:36:42.000 And then Adam actually has his own channel he launched, AdamCastIRL.

02:36:45.000 Yep.

02:36:45.000 There you go.

02:36:46.000 AdamCastIRL.

02:36:46.000 Make sure you guys subscribe.

02:36:48.000 Yep.

02:36:49.000 You should tweet... Adam...

02:36:50.000 Yeah, I'll tweet it out.

02:36:51.000 But, I mean, for those who are here right now, AdamCastIRL, it is a channel.

02:36:55.000 I uploaded a video.

02:36:56.000 You couldn't actually see it until I had a video, so what I did was I took my favorite video of AdamCast when they were doing Joe Rogan a couple months ago.

02:37:05.000 Yeah, I was gone for a couple weeks.

02:37:06.000 Yeah, it was basically a deep dive into Nikola Tesla.

02:37:09.000 Amazing man.

02:37:10.000 If you don't know anything about him, you want to know more about him, you could You can check it out on my channel, AdamCastIRL, but more importantly, it's going to be a live show, probably like a Saturday thing.

02:37:19.000 Me and Ian are just going to rap about stuff, deep dive into really interesting people in life.

02:37:24.000 It's going to be the same set.

02:37:26.000 It will use the set here for now until the new location.

02:37:30.000 I might have my own spot in the cast network.

02:37:33.000 I think we will.

02:37:34.000 Cast Castle, is that a thing?

02:37:35.000 Cast Castle.

02:37:36.000 So we're going to have a vlog of this new massive space.

02:37:40.000 There's going to be so much happening, man.

02:37:44.000 We're going to have exclusive content.

02:37:46.000 We're actually going to create a members thing for people who want to watch the mini-ramp and hang out, and we're going to do special releases.

02:37:52.000 But I'm also going to be setting up some actual journalists to do fact-checking on a ton of news to actually start solving these problems.

02:37:58.000 Put my money where my mouth is.

02:37:59.000 Yes!

02:38:01.000 Adams, we're probably going to have multiple sets.

02:38:04.000 But first things first, we're getting a new space, motivated in part by the awful leadership of Governor Murphy in New Jersey.

02:38:13.000 And I was like, we got to get out of here.

02:38:15.000 We just got to go.

02:38:16.000 And the good news is that when you move into the middle of nowhere, you can get big spaces for low cost.

02:38:20.000 That's true.

02:38:22.000 A lot of expansion.

02:38:24.000 I'm actually trying to figure out how to build a full vert ramp.

02:38:27.000 But that might be just a pipe dream, because you're shaking your head.

02:38:30.000 You're like, we're gonna do it.

02:38:32.000 I can skate a mini ramp, you know, decently well.

02:38:34.000 I don't know about a vert ramp, but it'd be fun.

02:38:36.000 I want to learn vert.

02:38:36.000 I would love to skate vert.

02:38:38.000 It looks so much fun.

02:38:39.000 And Tony Hawk is doing a master class now.

02:38:43.000 And he's like the vert master.

02:38:46.000 Maybe we can have him out.

02:38:48.000 I mean... Tony Hawk, if you're listening, because of course he watches the show, if you're listening, we would love to have you come out to Cast Castle when, you know, we officially get it going.

02:38:58.000 The good news is we're gonna have a ton of space for having guests.

02:39:01.000 The bad news is we're gonna be in the middle of nowhere, so getting them there will be a certain, well...

02:39:05.000 And we don't want anyone to know.

02:39:06.000 So if you want to be a guest, you got it.

02:39:08.000 We got black bag.

02:39:10.000 So here's what's going to happen.

02:39:13.000 If you want to be a guest in the show, we'll give you, we'll give you a street address to stand at on a corner in a random city.

02:39:19.000 Yes.

02:39:20.000 And then you'll be standing there and a van will pull up.

02:39:22.000 The door will slide open.

02:39:23.000 Two guys will throw a bag over your head and pull you in and you will wake up here.

02:39:27.000 Don't worry.

02:39:27.000 Set live.

02:39:29.000 We pulled the bag off your head and you're sitting here.

02:39:31.000 Welcome to the Tim Castellanos show.

02:39:33.000 Their hair's all messed up and they're like, Please don't hurt me!

02:39:38.000 Oh, Tim!

02:39:38.000 Tim Poole!

02:39:39.000 Oh, I'm here!

02:39:40.000 Yeah.

02:39:41.000 He'll be in the van.

02:39:42.000 He'll be knocked out or whatever.

02:39:43.000 Oh, that's funny.

02:39:43.000 All right, everybody.

02:39:45.000 So, again, Adam will tweet out the- Smash that like button.

02:39:48.000 Yes.

02:39:48.000 Oh, no, is that not what- I was gonna say, Adam's gonna post his YouTube.

02:39:51.000 Yeah, I will.

02:39:52.000 AdamCassIRL.

02:39:53.000 We're gonna get out of here.

02:39:54.000 We'll be back on Monday.

02:39:56.000 I'm gonna be back tomorrow.

02:39:57.000 And then, stick around, man.

02:39:59.000 We're getting really excited for this new big upgrade.

02:40:01.000 So, thanks for hanging out and we will see you all next time.
