On this special Memorial Day episode of the TimCast, Producer Adam and Producer Lydia are hanging out while everyone else is out barbecuing, boating, and boating in defiance of the lockdown orders. They talk about the dangers of social justice lunacy, and how it's ruining journalism.
00:00:45.000Here's what we're talking about tonight.
00:00:46.000We're talking about a lot of things, but I just... I had a friend go completely insane with social justice, lunacy, to the point where these people are overtly breaking the law.
00:00:59.000And I'm like, it's the weirdest dogma.
00:01:04.000It's funny because, you know, growing up, and I'm sure you guys have probably experienced this to different degrees or in different perspectives, you had the moral authority of the religious right.
00:01:16.000Now that's all kind of drifting away into some kind of libertarian right.
00:01:19.000Now our society is like, if you're a funny, offensive, freedom-minded, edgy boy, and you want to make your silly little jokes and go about your business, you're right-wing.
00:03:26.000This is why I like, dude, you know, it's like when I see these stories about people getting all this money, super rich, I'm like, oh, there's so much you need to like, there's people who should have that money.
00:03:36.000What I mean by that is like, Joe Rogan, for instance, said that in the New York Times interview with Barry Weiss.
00:03:45.000He's like, it feels gross that he made all this money.
00:03:47.000And I'm like, bro, hook up some comics.
00:04:28.000I think we got something about, uh... Yeah, we're gonna talk about, like, soldiers dying and stuff.
00:04:33.000Yeah, I definitely want to talk about it.
00:04:34.000That's what that's what today's about.
00:04:36.000In a respectful like, you know, looking at all the yeah, Adam, you mentioned like a list of all the, you know, casualties of war and stuff.
00:06:12.000Yeah, I went on the deck and I looked up and it was just like flooding around and like chomping at it and pecking at it and I was like, whoa.
00:07:26.000But it says, we recognize that our mission to raise awareness of underreported global issues through journalism and education can only be achieved by actively cultivating diversity, equity, and inclusion in our work internally and externally.
00:07:44.000But it is a bummer, because this is like a direct statement of like the core of journalism being like, we have adopted religious dogma at the core of our mission.
00:07:55.000And now I've seen some journalists say that they've basically warned you, if you want to win an award, you have to do this.
00:08:14.000Yeah, so for those that aren't familiar, it was basically the New York Times wrote a series of essays written by people who just made stuff up.
00:08:20.000They said that America was like a slavocracy, that everything in American history was designed to perpetuate slavery.
00:08:47.000They said that the only reason slavery was allowed, was permitted within this new country was because they didn't have the support to defeat the British in a revolution without certain states that had slaves.
00:10:10.000I think it's the natural progression of civil rights law.
00:10:14.000But now it's gone to a point where it's overtly breaking civil rights law.
00:10:18.000For those that are curious about the headline, I have more than one friend, and I can see these people that I knew have, dare I say, have lost it.
00:10:29.000It's like, how do you get someone out of a cult?
00:10:32.000And it's funny because they message me saying things like, what happened to you, man?
00:11:41.000And that was around the time things started to change.
00:11:43.000I went to go work for the company that would write offensive comments and content and do gross things like take a dump in a jar and leave it festering in the back of the building.
00:16:56.000So anyway, the point is the King James Bible has been the same and for all of my arguments with the people I grew up with who are religious, I knew what I was arguing against.
00:17:10.000Now they just keep changing everything.
00:17:12.000Now it's like, look, James Lindsay said, I'll kindly add some expanded clarity on these continuously evolving definitions for you.
00:17:26.000Diversity means more than just acknowledging and or tolerating difference.
00:17:30.000Diversity is a set of conscious practices that involve understanding and appreciating interdependence of humanity, cultures, and the natural environment.
00:17:38.000Practicing mutual respect for qualities and experiences that are different from our own.
00:17:42.000Understanding that diversity includes not only ways of being, but also ways of knowing.
00:17:48.000Recognizing that personal, cultural, and institutionalized discrimination creates and sustains privileges for some, while creating and sustaining disadvantages for others.
00:17:55.000Building alliances across differences so that we can work together to eradicate all forms of discrimination.
00:18:00.000Now, as far as I'm concerned, this whole thing is like the new nobility.
00:18:17.000A society that says everyone has equal opportunity and merit determines means that, well, of course some people have class-based, you know, advantages.
00:18:27.000But when you assert this and you straight up say, white people have privilege, you're establishing that always you as a white person are above, that you're better off.
00:18:40.000You're, you're, you're anchoring your position as in the hierarchy above other people.
00:22:03.000And then we saw, this is what blows my mind, Andrew Cuomo comes out and does his thing on a daily basis, and he's like, look at this, 66% of people getting sick are at home.
00:22:14.000Better extend the lockdown another month, month and a half.
00:22:18.000You're taking people out of the jails and then putting them in the place where they're getting sick?
00:22:21.000And then taking sick people and putting them in places where the most potent, people who are going to get it the most, the old people's homes are, that's where they're putting, yeah, the nursing homes.
00:22:32.000Like, why would you put, like, of course, those are the people that are getting killed.
00:23:49.000But then he ends by saying, you know, there's a man in the sky, and he needs money!
00:23:53.000And that reminds me of what these governors are doing, where it's like, they've shut down, they've destroyed their economies, they've locked people out of their buildings, they've threatened them with arrest, now that there's no tax revenue coming in, they gotta go to the federal government because they need money.
00:24:14.000Yeah, so he was like, we desperately need federal funding, and by the way, all our medical professionals are going to run out of work, and we're going to have to fire all the paramedics.
00:24:29.000This is the problem I have with the, you know, kind of loop it back in with like the culture where SJW stuff, is I had a friend message me saying the government should provide for everybody.
00:24:39.000They should provide for health care and food and cover rent or like a moratorium on rent and evictions while this is happening.
00:24:45.000And I'm like, that is such a fairytale view of the world, man.
00:24:50.000Yes, the good old government fairy will float down your chimney and sprinkle their little magic cane, and poof!
00:24:55.000A cornucopia of fruit and vegetables and bread will pour out, and they'll smile like a Disney movie.
00:29:57.000The original videos are just like Dora the Explorer dancing around and it sings this nursery rhyme, which I'm not going to sing because people get mad at me because I'll get stuck in their head.
00:30:05.000Where it like basically names all the fingers.
00:30:20.000The algorithm at the time, this is several years ago, like just, it didn't work very well.
00:30:25.000And so what ends up happening is when a baby is laying in a crib and the iPad is just playing autoplay for hours, First, it'll play a real Nursery Rhyme video.
00:30:36.000Then it'll play another real Nursery Rhyme video.
00:33:18.000I mention, when I say Jonah Peretti and BuzzFeed, those are hypotheticals.
00:33:21.000I'm using them as examples because this is what they're accused of doing by, like Jeff Jarvis is a professor, and he did some Twitter thread about how BuzzFeed's whole business model was basically using Facebook's algorithm.
00:33:33.000When Facebook changed this, they all panicked and lost a ton of money and laid a ton of people off.
00:33:39.000But now we end up seeing this tendency occurs, right?
00:33:42.000The first thing that happened was this.
00:36:43.000Vice was making money off being the opposite of a lot of these social justice companies.
00:36:48.000For one reason or another, more having to do with the sexual harassment accusations against higher-ups at Vice, they started adopting this stuff.
00:36:57.000I think it has to do a lot with the investors, who were looking at all these other companies and they were like, this is what we have to do to avoid these scandals.
00:37:05.000The people who were more likely to write articles to get traffic were social justice rage bait writers.
00:37:10.000So they were more likely to keep their jobs because they got the views, they made the money, and the companies became social justice rage bait outlets, and that was the spread of the infection.
00:37:20.000And it's funny because a lot of people would say things like, you know, Tim Pool doesn't get it.
00:37:24.000You know, this was a year, it's like 2014 stuff, 2015.
00:37:26.000And when they were talking about Gamergate and like video games being infected with social justice stuff.
00:37:32.000And I was like, the video game stuff, it's actually really, really obvious how that all started.
00:37:38.000Let's say you write for a video game outlet.
00:38:28.000So a game's coming out, a game's getting reviewed, and so some of these journalistic gaming sites would do a big encyclopedia, basically like a game guide.
00:38:40.000So some of these gaming outlets, you'd go there and you'd see a ton of articles about how to do certain things, but when your job is to write five articles a day, And it's about gaming.
00:41:25.000Not to mention inflation costs, salaries, and everything.
00:41:28.000So you mean to tell me, I'm the investor, you mean to tell me that you want a million dollars for a three-year operation with no guarantees of anything produced?
00:42:09.000You think that infection that you're talking about, the SJW, like clickbaity stuff, that's kind of the reason why all these Karens are going nuts because they're, well, look at what's being spread around on the internet.
00:44:29.000You can see all of the weird keywords mashed together that makes no sense.
00:44:33.000But in order to exploit an adult, you need to take things that make sense, and then present it in a way where they're like, I know what these things are.
00:44:41.000And then you need to figure out how you can connect them.
00:44:43.000That's why the rules change so often, because it doesn't make sense at all.
00:44:46.000Like, what is or isn't offensive makes literally no sense.
00:44:48.000But mash all of these different political causes into one, and you end up with like the Muslim LGBT alliance.
00:44:55.000Where you have, in the UK, Muslims showing up to protest the LGBT curriculum in, what was that, in Birmingham?
00:45:04.000An elementary school was doing LGBT curriculum, Muslims protested it, and they were fighting with each other, yet, intersection, like, actually a better example than this, too, is r slash atheism on Reddit.
00:45:16.000It is a subreddit, a forum with millions of people dedicated to ragging on religion.
00:45:23.000But for the most part, just Christians.
00:45:25.000You can't rag on Muslims, they're an oppressed minority.
00:45:28.000And so there was recently a really funny post where it was someone criticizing Islam, and all of the comments were walking on eggshells.
00:45:37.000Look, if you want to talk about Christianity, they're like, these backwater yokel morons, so stupid Trump chuds.
00:45:45.000And they just go nuts ragging on Christians.
00:45:48.000Islam, they were like, you know, I think it's fair to say we can criticize and talk critically.
00:45:54.000Unfortunately, too much of these people have hidden motives.
00:45:56.000And it's like, are you kidding me, dude?
00:45:58.000Like you want to rag on religion, rag on religion, bro.
00:46:53.000But there are people who are a lot like us, who for the most part are the exact same, talk about the exact same things, but everything else shifted around us.
00:47:14.000There's one dude who became an overt SJW, and then people looked at his history writing for Vice, and they were like, bro, you are the most racist sexist we've ever seen.
00:47:37.000When, like, I have good friends that I've known for years, and we'd hang out, we'd have a good time, to hear what they're saying now, and I'm like...
00:47:53.000Yeah, and I'm like, how do you go from being like, we need the Civil Rights Act to prevent discrimination in the hiring process, to two years later being like, I'm gonna discriminate against the people I'm hiring!
00:49:06.000So when it comes to these employment violations, think about who was posting these jobs like, you know, so-and-so need not apply in the 60s.
00:49:46.000These same people... What makes it even worse though, it becomes part of their like...
00:49:53.000Emotions, you know, so even having a logical conversation with someone like that, like you asked, like, how do you talk to someone like that?
00:50:00.000Because as soon as you go against what they believe, they get triggered and you can't have a logical, peaceful conversation because their emotions just shoot through the roof and then that starts driving, you know, everything they're talking about.
00:50:13.000Yeah, you're going against their worldview and that's, you don't do that.
00:50:17.000As soon as you do that, boom, emotions take over.
00:50:57.000But people always get heated about... Well, when you get crazy vegans, which there's certainly crazy vegans out there, you know, they'll attack even me for having like a pet.
00:51:08.000You know, having pets to some vegans is like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you're using them as love slaves.
00:51:13.000And it's like, yeah, that's what humans have done for a long time.
00:51:21.000It's impossible to have a conversation with somebody who has adopted a dogmatic worldview and what's What blows my mind is that right now the religious right are the ones begging for the conversation.
00:51:55.000How did we come to a point where this inversion happened, where Jon Stewart was making fun of everybody, and it was funny, and you had George Carlin, and it was like, oh man, these authoritarian, it's like the libertarian shift happened.
00:52:07.000Maybe it's like the pendulum of libertarianism, and it was on the left for a while, now it's on the right for a while, and it's like authoritarianism goes up, and then it goes down, it goes back and forth or whatever.
00:52:17.000And so if you're mostly just a libertarian type, you are now more likely to have a good conversation with Trump supporters, conservatives, and if not, with the left.
00:52:27.000Yeah, you can't further yourself if you're just only going to believe what you believe.
00:52:32.000You have to hear the other side of it.
00:52:37.000Oh, how do you know it's dark at night?
00:52:39.000Well, because it's bright during the day and then it gets dark at night.
00:52:50.000Here's another example of the dementia that's affecting this group of people.
00:52:57.000Somebody commented in reply to Trump, and they said something like, you know, there's only ever been one instance of known voter fraud from mail-in voting, and it was a Republican.
00:53:09.000And so I quoted that in saying, whoa, a Republican tried cheating with mail-in voting.
00:53:13.000That's a good reason for Democrats to oppose it.
00:53:15.000I didn't say I was for or against mail-in voting.
00:53:18.000I was poking fun at the argument that you're accusing Republicans of cheating and being in favor of mail-in voting?
00:53:24.000Like, how does that make sense, right?
00:54:48.000So here's what I was getting to, right?
00:54:50.000So in the previous segment, we're talking about You have a bunch of people who refuse to read evidence, who refuse to watch videos, and just want to be angry.
00:55:00.000And that voting impacts how society functions, and they vote for people who exploit their unwillingness to actually read and understand and engage.
00:55:09.000So the example I used was someone who said, like, someone sends them a video of, like, here's Tim's opinion, and they go, let me stop you right there.
00:55:31.000So that gets me thinking like, I'm, I'm, uh, for the most part, not in favor of the Starship Troopers argument about service guaranteed citizenship.
00:56:22.000And then after two years, you become a citizen, and now you enjoy the right to vote, and run for office, and elect people.
00:56:31.000And it's funny because a lot of people on the left have claimed Starship Troopers is a model of fascism, where it's like you have to serve the military before.
00:56:39.000But I don't think that's even true for the book.
00:56:41.000I think it was like civil service, not military service.
00:57:57.000His response was, let's throw free speech in there too.
00:58:00.000Why have the right to speak if you haven't almost been killed?
00:58:03.000And there's a lot wrong with, with, with his immediate response.
00:58:06.000It's like, first of all, yeah, a lot of people in the army, like desk clerks, you know what I mean?
00:58:10.000It's like, you know, you know, the, the, the story of the Covington kids, the, the kids were standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
00:58:16.000Oh, Native Americans banging the drum.
00:58:47.000So, for those that aren't familiar with what universal basic income is, I assume most of you are, it's a guaranteed income from the government.
00:59:02.000What if UBI was mandatory civil service?
00:59:03.000Meaning, everybody got a guaranteed wage, and then you had to do some kind of civil service for some kind of period?
00:59:10.000I didn't even say what, it was just a question.
00:59:11.000I think that would raise the general, what's the term I'm looking for, just respect for your land and your neighbor, you know, because doing civil service, you're helping others.
00:59:24.000That's essentially what it is, you know.
00:59:28.000I feel a lot of people kind of lose themselves in just maintaining their own personal lives and they don't let, they don't let others affect them.
00:59:35.000They don't do, they don't care about other people.
01:00:58.000It doesn't necessarily cover the total cost of UBI.
01:01:01.000However, if not everybody signed up for it, then you might actually be able to do it.
01:01:07.000Now, the challenge, I guess, is, for one, it's definitely a huge government, massive expansion of power and authority and stuff like that, for sure.
01:01:16.000But it's not necessarily bad if it's run, you know, locally and independently locally or something like that.
01:01:22.000But regardless of the merit of whether it's good, bad, the point is, it makes infinitely more sense that if the government is going to be giving you money, you should do something for it.
01:01:31.000In which case, it's just a national jobs program.
01:02:02.000And I'm like, isn't the compromise just create like a federal jobs program where, what if we did like bounties?
01:02:09.000Like there could be like a community center where it, like people who work in government, there could be a task required that have a set budget.
01:02:16.000And they would say, here's a job that needs to be done.
01:02:19.000And then it would pay a set rate and you could go in and do like freelance government, you know, contributions or civil service or something.
01:03:33.000And if a lot of these crimes are property crimes as the result of poverty, we're better off giving them strict restrictions, like you gotta check in, you gotta do these things, and then we'll give you cash.
01:03:44.000Paying criminals not to commit crime is cheaper than actually putting them in jail.
01:04:20.000Actually, it's funny that you say that because there's a jail that's for sale where her parents live, and it's right in the middle of town.
01:05:20.000That doesn't necessarily mean giving criminals money will stop crime.
01:05:23.000Well that's kind of like, isn't that kind of like saying that if you just give a homeless person a house you'll solve the problem?
01:05:28.000I don't actually see that solving the problem because there might actually be some underlying issues that aren't just not having a house.
01:05:34.000I see another problem is we don't teach even you know whatever class you're in we're not teaching kids like about money.
01:05:42.000I didn't learn about money in in my school so like and and especially probably in these poverty areas they're not like teaching like all right so if you make some money Don't just go buy stuff.
01:05:51.000You need to invest properly, think about what you need in your life.
01:05:54.000This isn't something that we're even talking about.
01:05:59.000They get money from the government like, oh, I'll go buy a new TV instead of you need to use that for what you need to use it for, to pay your rent, to make sure you're eating food correctly, furthering yourself instead of just being part of the system that they want.
01:06:41.000So you sit down with a bunch of people, you talk about it, and if eventually you say, I think we've covered as many bases as possible, let's do a trial run.
01:06:56.000You'll break it It's not gonna change.
01:06:57.000It's like I think this cog would go good here smash Yeah, especially when there's like millions and millions and millions of pieces to this engine, which is America, you know And so that's grinding and everything's going crazy.
01:07:08.000Mm-hmm, but I thought of something when you mentioned that school.
01:07:10.000What if public schools paid kids for A's good grades But it wasn't they just give them cash.
01:07:20.000They basically can buy things within the school.
01:08:06.000It's just like the school could spend, you know, a thousand bucks, you know, a month on like a... and it could be pens and pencils and erasers and staplers.
01:09:49.000But I think because of how millennials view themselves, their children, not everybody, like, you know, clearly, you know, not us and not probably the people watching, to be honest.
01:10:31.000I don't know if you've ever seen it, where it's this British dude and he's like, he like looks over and it's on a camera and he goes, hey, You want to hear a way to get rich quick?
01:10:49.000It grows right out of the ground, just like that, you don't gotta do anything!
01:10:52.000And it's like, has someone ever, have these young people ever realized that?
01:10:57.000But they're so used to, in my opinion, things being given to them, that they don't have a concept of how to make, create, source, or be independent.
01:11:15.000And now you think about what our last subject about the SJW clickbaity things that everyone's spreading around on the internet and it's like that's reaffirming their beliefs that they're owed stuff that they should get all this stuff.
01:12:04.000Because you're eating a big pile of garbage and slogging up your system, so you need a psychoactive stimulant to get you back to feeling normal.
01:12:11.000Well, it's like a burger is trash, and you eat it and you're like, I feel terrible.
01:12:18.000Let me take my caffeine, which is a psychoactive stimulant very similar to cocaine, and you drink a gallon of it, and then you've got... I can handle anything now!
01:12:40.000But it's an example of how You know, glutton culture expands and comes to this point where you literally have people who are morbidly obese and unhealthy being told by the media, it's okay to be morbidly obese and unhealthy and eat trash.
01:13:47.000I think that saying comes from the fact that when these young people finally get their first paycheck and see how much taxes they had to give away, they're like, what?
01:14:13.000It's the best way to like, you know, these young people haven't experienced someone refusing to take responsibility and then demanding they cover for them.
01:14:25.000It's getting really bad to the point where, like, You have these kids in schools where you might argue, were you ever in a lab where you had a partner, and the lab partner did no work, and you're like, and we're gonna fail unless you help, and it's like, I'll do this, whatever, and you're like, and then you end up doing all the work?
01:14:44.000That'll turn you into a young conservative for sure.
01:14:46.000But now the kids are just complaining to the teachers they shouldn't have to do it at all, and they're calling teachers racist, and the teachers are like, okay, I'm sorry, class is canceled.
01:15:10.000It's like one of the funniest stories is that they started spreading lies about him and he's like a progressive lefty guy.
01:15:17.000And so he's like, some people approached him.
01:15:19.000I can't remember exactly what happened, but they were calling him like a bigot and a racist.
01:15:22.000And then he actually started arguing for them, like saying it's, you know, humans have inherent bigotry and racism where it's because we, I don't want to, I don't want to put words in his mouth, but basically the idea as I understand it is humans have a tendency to feel safer around things that are familiar.
01:15:36.000So they look for people who look like them.
01:15:39.000So we have to try very hard to break down our inherent biases.
01:16:58.000So this is why, you know, I asked these questions because I don't think, I think the biggest challenge from going from our current capitalistic system to a post-scarcity system, should we ever, it's the middle period where there's a hybrid of it.
01:17:12.000It's one of the things I brought up on the Rogan Podcast last month.
01:17:15.000We're going to end up with a period where there's people who have to work and people who can't.
01:17:19.000What happens when 90% of your population doesn't have to work and 10% does?
01:17:23.000Kind of like what we're seeing with essential workers.
01:17:25.000People have to go out and do all this hard work while we get a $600 bonus for not working.
01:18:49.000When we got to get the raw materials for the products you consume in America as a wealthy country, sure, we're a wealthy nation.
01:18:56.000We can spread the wealth all around to each and every one of you.
01:18:58.000And then you need to realize the microphones you get, the computers you get, are composed of products and elements that are mined from the earth.
01:19:06.000I watched a documentary about dudes mining sulfur and their teeth fall out of their mouth.
01:19:11.000They jam rags in their mouths because we don't want to do it.
01:19:13.000So these people who are like, it's only fair that we get money.
01:19:16.000It's like, well, what about the people in these countries that are like enslaved?
01:19:20.000Yeah, the reason your phone is even under $1,000 is because they got it made in another country that's dirt cheap, where they're paying nothing, the people working on them nothing, so they can make a killer profit on you.
01:20:18.000But you've done no research on what's going on in the world.
01:20:20.000You have done no research to source where your tools and your wealth comes from, and you're acting like you're in this, you know, marginalized position while you're on top of the world, exploiting these underprivileged people around the planet, and to you, that's okay.
01:23:33.000And I was thinking about, you mentioned this, there's fake photos that go around of Trump hats and then someone will hold it and they'll flip it over and it'll say made in China.
01:24:20.000You got the working class, you got the merchant class, you got the bourgeoisie, whatever.
01:24:24.000They said, we're going to flip it over.
01:24:25.000And I said, does that mean that the landlords and owners will be on the bottom with the least amount, and that the working class will be on top?
01:24:34.000Or does it mean that when you flip the pyramid over, the bricks all tumble down and it forms a new heap in the shape of a broken pyramid with at least one or two former working class people on top?
01:24:48.000They did not expect, and this is a couple of activists, they did not expect the pyramid to flip over and stay perfectly, like a perfect structure.
01:25:19.000It's just the next person's going to step up and get that power, get a taste of it, and want more of it, and then become the top of the pyramid.
01:25:32.000When you have these Karens on Facebook inundated with all this intersectionality garbage, they're convinced this worldview is true and just.
01:26:48.000No one's risking anything by going to Taco Bell.
01:26:51.000Second of all, you didn't even read any of the science that's come out so far.
01:26:55.000That has said the lockdown may have backfired, the lockdown wasn't effective, that certain countries that didn't lockdown did better, and now we have the New York Times straight up saying Democrat areas did worse than Republican areas, Republican areas were less likely to lockdown and less scared of this.
01:27:08.000Yet they still don't read a single thing!
01:27:11.000And they're like, we're the smart ones!
01:27:30.000And so I think conservatives have been really lucky that they've fallen on the right side of this more often than not.
01:27:36.000And it's partly due, I think, to the fact that conservative media is more critical and analytical.
01:27:41.000But you certainly have a lot of people on the right who don't want to read either.
01:27:43.000It just so happens that like everybody was, you know, when it came to Russiagate, it was all tribalism.
01:27:49.000You know, there were a lot of people who fell on the right because Russiagate was nonsense and it was like confusingly like, what is this weird conspiracy garbage?
01:27:57.000Yeah, we're finding out that it's not even true.
01:28:18.000They were like, isn't it funny that the group that called themselves the resistance immediately buckled down to bend over for the government the moment they said stay in your home?
01:28:29.000It's particularly frustrating because to loop it all back in tight with a nice little bow, my friend coming to me saying, you know, we need to have, you know, government guarantees and going full SJW and I'm like, nothing I could send you.
01:28:49.000I'm not gonna name these people, but I've been having a tiff with someone, and it's become apparent to me, it's like, dude, are you faking this?
01:29:34.000Back in 2011, that's what you were saying.
01:29:36.000When I worked for Fusion, I made some points about, like, journalism.
01:29:41.000And it was like stuffing and dealing with Gamergate and men's rights.
01:29:45.000And my approach was we should interview, you know, the activists on both, you know, both sides of the issue.
01:29:51.000And they were like, that's white supremacy.
01:29:53.000And so then because of this, because of some video that we promoted that mocked political correctness, they started behind the scenes calling me a white supremacist.
01:30:14.000You know, they tell me I changed and I'm like, sorry, dude.
01:30:18.000Like, I've been listening to George Carlin, Joe Rogan, Dave Chappelle, you know, Ricky Gervais, have not changed my, you know, some of my opinions have changed for sure, but for the most part, these people have gone nuts.
01:30:29.000Anyway, there's the whole hour and a half rant for whatever reason.
01:34:08.000Samuel Williams, the founding father says, when I hear you say you want Dems to nominate an old school Dem, it's like watching a friend chase a girl that dumped him years ago, but he still keeps trying.
01:34:22.000It's like being like in the friend zone.
01:34:24.000They keep goading you on and like, you know, they, they, they want you to be there for them, but they don't want to give you what you're asking for.
01:34:37.000Because if they're not going to provide, if we're not working on it together, I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to, I'm not going to be that person.
01:34:44.000Podcastage says, thanks for continuing to sling, sling that tent.
01:34:48.000Off topic question, favorite band and album from that band?
01:36:03.000The argument was that Hillary only lost because she's a woman.
01:36:06.000So this performance group said, we're going to do the debate completely staged, but the woman character will be played by... we inverted the genders.
01:36:14.000Verbatim, like they just did the exact same... It was a scripted event.
01:36:18.000The audience, who... they were unfamiliar with the politics, said Hillary's character was snide and unlikable, and the woman was justified and, you know, strong and, you know, things like that.
01:39:21.000Kyle with Super Chat says, you think that Trump will make it so that states cannot do mail-in voting if they want to bail out from the situation they got themselves into?
01:39:29.000I don't know what's going to happen, but I think mail-in voting is a last-ditch Hail Mary to try and win.
01:39:35.000They're changing the rules last minute.
01:40:56.000Jack Daw says, if you ever do decide to vote for Trump, please consider not telling us.
01:41:00.000I know we all want you to finally get on board, but you play a rather important role in the culture war and remaining unaffiliated is a big part of that.
01:41:10.000So the issue is, certainly many people on the left who are diehard Biden anti-Trump are assuming I've already voted for Trump in the first place.
01:44:07.000There's a clip we put on Instagram of Adam doing a switchblunt frontside grab in, and it is just Adam laughing afterwards, and for some reason people think it's me.
01:44:16.000Yeah, I don't know why they think it's you, because you're holding the camera and it's... Oh yeah, I'm a pro.
01:44:20.000You can hear the pure joy in my laugh of me landing that trick.
01:44:25.000Because it was like, it had just stopped raining, we quickly squeegeed off the ramp and blew it off, and then Adam, you got like 10 minutes before it was gonna rain, and Adam was like, I had a dream, I did this trick, I'm gonna try it.
01:44:52.000One of the worst things you can do in skateboarding, because I've got a clip, like after the Rogan thing happened, all of these old clips of me are popping up on YouTube.
01:50:03.000In the power strip, is there a button?
01:50:04.000I would say, I mean Tim and I have been friends for a long time, so I don't know, I've always done my own thing my entire life, so it's, I don't know, I feel like I'm just hanging out with my friend, even though like technically you're my boss, I guess?
01:50:17.000I don't know, we're doing this show together, so.
01:52:10.000I don't necessarily, like, it's... I guess you could say that if you think you're getting better information that's fact-checked and you trust it, then it's a good thing.
01:52:26.000It's not so much about telling someone what they should or shouldn't do, it's about being like, here's what happened and here's what I think about it.
01:52:32.000And I think too many people don't pay attention.
01:52:53.00078 degrees 77 Let's see where we at Logan or says you were talking about selling skateboards on on the podcast I own a sawmill and woodworking business.
01:53:08.000Is there a way I could build one and send it to you baby test out.
01:54:25.000Mark Robertshaw says, to all the soldiers that died in past wars fighting for freedom and to protect the American dream, if they could see America now, they would have pride or regret with their... Now, would they have pride or regret with their sacrifice?
01:54:39.000What I can tell you is Mr. Freedom Tunes, if you guys are familiar with Freedom Tunes, check him out on YouTube, did a video where social justice warriors bring World War II soldiers back from the past to help fight the rise of Nazis.
01:54:51.000And then the social justice warriors are like, they say something like, the Nazis think that men in same-sex marriages shouldn't be allowed.
01:57:48.000If they start hosting videos and it's open to the public, I'll definitely put my videos there too.
01:57:52.000Chaotic says, The Founding Fathers may not have been successful in destroying slavery in their time, but the foundations they laid down had been crucial in defeating it after they passed.
02:01:22.000YuYu says, President of Madagascar, Andre Raholina has claimed that the World Health Organization offered his country the sum of $20 million of bribe to poison COVID-19 cure.
02:02:28.000Hearthstone has a series of cards that are like, at the start of the game, if your deck only fits these criteria, then do X. And so it's like, one guy is, if your deck only has cards that cost three or more, then you start the game with this creature, or you gain these three cards, something like that.
02:02:58.000Sean El Bucholoco says, When you redefine racism to exclude hatred of a particular race and convince that race they are not allowed to defend themselves, that race becomes a fair game for hateful acts.
02:06:26.000Eggman says, aside from the economy, after all this COVID business is said and done, do you guys think everything will return to the way it was before?
02:06:33.000I mean, stuff like celebrity worship and all that nonsense.
02:07:57.000Semper Fi Philip, keep watching from on high buddy. Awesome.
02:08:01.000Awesome. Kells, thanks for joining. EF says this stream should be illegal. Common sense is not allowed
02:08:06.000on YouTube. Don't you know it? No, come on. Joe Rogan's got a huge show. That's true. Let's
02:08:11.000see. Baggin says, have any of you considered government is complicit in supporting violations of the First Amendment by giving legal protections to social media companies that file as a public platform?
02:08:21.000The publisher platform argument is wrong.
02:09:28.000Non Servium says service should guarantee voting for commander-in-chief.
02:09:32.000If you know how to balance a checkbook and pay in even a dollar more than you take out in welfare programs at the end of the year, you should be able to vote for how our finances in this country go.
02:16:35.000I hope everyone's enjoying their barbecues.
02:16:37.000wow i can't there we go there we go all right we found it christian moore says adam that child that that biden child predator video creeped out my whole family invading personal space like that can't be normal oh did you post the biden video no someone tagged me in it and i i commented on it because it's i said what what can be what has been seen cannot be unseen And it's, it's, I mean, when you really see it and it's basically this guy, he's a professional, I don't know if he's a psychologist or whatever it is.
02:17:05.000He's a doctor that works with, you know, victims in this line of videos.
02:17:11.000And he's basically saying like what he's doing is grooming children.
02:18:33.000Sat says, exploitation is not good, but what do you do when the third world is willing to work
02:18:37.000for one dollar a day to Americans, one dollar a day is exploitation, to the third world they sign
02:18:42.000up for it every day. And that's been a big argument that it actually helps them.
02:18:47.000But we're a community of Americans, man.
02:18:49.000You know, it's like if you don't want to pay an American for the hard work they do, you're basically, you're extracting our resources.
02:18:54.000But it really doesn't help them though, because there's multiple factories and those factories themselves compete with each other to get the best price.
02:20:05.000Daniel says, do you think your podcast would be demonetized, Shadowband, if you invited the doctor from Sweden that decided to keep the country open?
02:21:12.000I don't know a lot about Razor, though.
02:21:13.000I do catch the occasional Styx video, and I'm familiar with Styx, and Styx is a very calm, intelligent... Razor is also, my understanding, cool dude and everything.
02:21:22.000I've only seen a few Razorfist videos, though.
02:22:30.000When I'm playing Destiny, I'm not currently playing Destiny, but I'll definitely start playing before the fall when they introduce the new expansion DLC.
02:23:01.000Hi Tim, just wanted to say some stuff about the Constitution.
02:23:04.000Specifically about how people are changing what words mean based on today's context, and more specific, the Second Amendment.
02:23:11.000I told you the Second Amendment, if I told you the Second Amendment based on how it was written and context of the time, it gives the right for citizens to own almost any weapon, would you believe me?
02:23:25.000And it's funny, someone made a joke about if we applied that standard, the way that the Democrats are saying, like, they're expecting you to only own a musket.
02:23:33.000Some guy wrote this really funny thing where he's like, wake up at 3 a.m.
02:23:37.000and someone kicks in my door, grab my rifle, run downstairs, you know, take the first shot, miss because it's smoothbore, hit the neighbor's dog, reload as they're panicking, fire, blast a four-inch hole in the chest because it's a musket round.
02:24:35.000What people in this country don't realize is that the anti-gun crowd is smaller than the pro-gun crowd, and that's why the rules aren't changing.
02:24:42.000It's weird when I meet these lefties who are like, nobody actually wants these things, and I'm like, bro, even blue states, like Maine, for instance, it's blue, right?
02:24:50.000I'm pretty sure Maine is partially blue.
02:27:34.000Redwall says, I think I got blackpilled.
02:27:36.000I'm ever growing in favor of a revolution to overthrow the leftist media, big tech, and political system, similar to how the socialists want to overthrow large corporations.
02:27:43.000Now that is dangerous thinking there, buddy.
02:27:46.000It is tough because we got a really good thing going on and they're disrupting it, so.
02:27:51.000It's an issue of defending the Constitution from these people.
02:27:54.000Jonathan says, can you start doing interviews?
02:27:56.000I want to see some hardcore interview.
02:27:58.000Also, Soy Jesus, I think you'd be a great person, uh, to do with.
02:30:08.000If every single one of these people were like, I'm going to press share, or hit the like button, we'd have like a ton of likes, and YouTube would then be like, I'm going to push this up to the top of the ranks, make sure everybody sees it.
02:30:26.000Or just watch, and if you want to watch, then hit the like button, like, subscribe, and make sure to follow at AdamKrigler because that's where you guys can send stuff.
02:30:34.000Yeah, I just pinned a new tweet on my page.
02:30:37.000So if you go to my page, you see it right on the top.
02:30:41.000Just, what do you want us to talk about?
02:30:42.000And you can follow me at Timcast if you want to see, you know, skateboarding pictures of cats on Instagram and also on Twitter, usually just complaining about stuff, posting news sometimes.
02:30:52.000And then also there's Sour Patch Lids.
02:31:00.000We got one more super chat and then I think we're about to head to bed.
02:31:04.000Andals History says, Tim, do you think UBI can work when guaranteed income equals guaranteed increase in charges for things like rent, etc.? ?
