Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - TimcastIRL - My Friend Went SJW Crazy, Hypocrites Break Civil Rights Law, Oh And Happy Memorial Day

00:00:00.000 How's it going everybody?

00:00:11.000 Welcome to the Memorial Day special episode of the TimCast IRL podcast.

00:00:15.000 My name is Tim Poole.

00:00:17.000 I am hanging out with my friends.

00:00:18.000 Hey, what's up, everybody?

00:00:19.000 It's Adam here.

00:00:20.000 How you doing?

00:00:21.000 Thanks for coming.

00:00:21.000 Appreciate it.

00:00:23.000 And me, producer Lydia.

00:00:25.000 I'm here as well.

00:00:26.000 We are hanging out while everyone else is out, I guess, barbecuing, boating, beaching, in defiance of the lockdown orders.

00:00:34.000 Good.

00:00:36.000 Those lawbreakers.

00:00:36.000 There's a lot.

00:00:37.000 There's a viral video of the Lake of the Ozarks.

00:00:39.000 Where is that?

00:00:39.000 Like Missouri or something?

00:00:40.000 Yeah.

00:00:41.000 And it's like everybody's just partying like normal.

00:00:43.000 You know what?

00:00:44.000 Look, man.

00:00:45.000 Here's what we're talking about tonight.

00:00:46.000 We'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.

00:00:59.000 And I'm like, it's the weirdest dogma.

00:01:02.000 It's religious insanity.

00:01:04.000 It'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.

00:01:16.000 Now that's all kind of drifting away into some kind of libertarian right.

00:01:19.000 Now 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.

00:01:31.000 But that was South Park.

00:01:32.000 That was Family Guy.

00:01:33.000 That was the left before.

00:01:34.000 That's true.

00:01:35.000 And now the left is dogmatic to a religious degree, and it's freaky.

00:01:40.000 And these are people that I knew, and it's like, they've lost it.

00:01:44.000 And you can't even talk to them anymore.

00:01:47.000 The craziest thing to me is, I remember when I was growing up trying to talk to somebody who was religious. 0.98

00:01:51.000 And I went to Catholic school for the first six years of my grade school.

00:01:55.000 So I could understand, I could talk about a lot of this stuff.

00:01:57.000 Okay.

00:01:57.000 and i was always you know is rather you know pragmatic and call and we have

00:02:01.000 been a conversations and i'd be like oh here's i think and then mostly when i got older because i was young i was

00:02:06.000 kind of a kind of a

00:02:07.000 far lefty it's okay yeah i was like i'm so smart i'm smarter than you

00:02:13.000 and i was like a lot of the left really hasn't changed much up

00:02:15.000 now but this is like an arco punk skater I know, I'm just making a joke.

00:02:19.000 I was smarter, I was the best.

00:02:21.000 But yeah, no, no for sure, right? 0.98

00:02:24.000 But to see like, you know, I had this friend message me complete and utter garbage mangled nonsense. 0.97

00:02:30.000 Oh man. 0.96

00:02:31.000 And trying to explain to them like why that was wrong was like talking to a diehard religious person, you know, 15 years ago.

00:02:39.000 And I'm like, wow.

00:02:42.000 It's like the way they... It's weird because there are still people who view the right the same exact way.

00:02:48.000 Like they've always been.

00:02:49.000 I'm like, that's just not the case, bro.

00:02:50.000 Like, we walked away.

00:02:51.000 We left.

00:02:52.000 We're done with this, dude.

00:02:53.000 That's what we're gonna be talking about.

00:02:55.000 And we're gonna talk about how this is negatively impacting everything, how it's negatively impacting journalism, Pulitzer Center.

00:03:00.000 Man, I'm thinking about actually launching my own award for journalism.

00:03:03.000 I love it.

00:03:03.000 I love this idea.

00:03:04.000 And dumping mad cash behind it.

00:03:06.000 I'm talking, like, insane money.

00:03:07.000 Like, ugh!

00:03:09.000 Um, we'll see.

00:03:11.000 So the Pulitzer Prize, I think, is ten grand.

00:03:13.000 Okay.

00:03:13.000 Yeah.

00:03:14.000 Alright.

00:03:15.000 Ten times.

00:03:16.000 Well, I don't know how many awards they have for the Pulitzer Prize, but it's like a bunch.

00:03:20.000 Yeah, but you should just do one prize.

00:03:21.000 The best, best of the best.

00:03:23.000 I want to do a bunch.

00:03:24.000 I want to do a bunch.

00:03:25.000 Legitimate journalism.

00:03:26.000 This 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.

00:03:36.000 What I mean by that is like, Joe Rogan, for instance, said that in the New York Times interview with Barry Weiss.

00:03:45.000 He's like, it feels gross that he made all this money.

00:03:47.000 And I'm like, bro, hook up some comics.

00:03:49.000 That's your thing.

00:03:51.000 Find some comedians, figure out a way to do comedy better online, whatever, and you can do that.

00:03:56.000 I'm sure he will.

00:03:57.000 I'm not acting like he's not going to do it.

00:03:59.000 And that's what I'm saying.

00:04:01.000 I wish there were more successful journalists, political media personalities who are like, let me throw money behind this.

00:04:06.000 The Pulitzer Center is supposed to be that.

00:04:08.000 Anyway, I should save this and before we get off, you know, on a tangent.

00:04:12.000 We're gonna be talking about a lot of this stuff.

00:04:13.000 We're gonna get into it.

00:04:13.000 Yeah.

00:04:14.000 Chat's saying it should be the Pulitzer Prize.

00:04:16.000 It's pretty good.

00:04:19.000 I see you, chat.

00:04:20.000 I see you, chat.

00:04:21.000 It's a different word.

00:04:22.000 We got some other stuff.

00:04:23.000 It's a new word.

00:04:24.000 We got some stuff about Big Tech or whatever.

00:04:26.000 We're gonna talk about Memorial Day.

00:04:28.000 I think we got something about, uh... Yeah, we're gonna talk about, like, soldiers dying and stuff.

00:04:33.000 Yeah, I definitely want to talk about it.

00:04:34.000 That's what that's what today's about.

00:04:36.000 In 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.

00:04:42.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:04:43.000 Yeah, man.

00:04:43.000 So we'll talk about it.

00:04:44.000 So if you haven't already hopping that super chat, send us some some Memorial Day messages.

00:04:49.000 We love you guys and hit the like button.

00:04:52.000 Smash that like button.

00:04:54.000 Share the video, like, subscribe, whatever you're supposed to do on YouTube.

00:04:57.000 And I'm going to go ahead and like it right now.

00:04:59.000 Yeah, we're chilling.

00:04:59.000 You know, it's Memorial Day.

00:05:01.000 We don't got anything to do, I guess.

00:05:03.000 Someone can hear, they can hear the hum of that.

00:05:04.000 Can you turn that off?

00:05:06.000 Of the A?

00:05:06.000 Of the ear?

00:05:08.000 That's amazing.

00:05:09.000 You got good ears.

00:05:10.000 Yes, I saw someone asking about it and I'm like, I can hear it too, I think.

00:05:14.000 It's like at negative 40 dB.

00:05:17.000 That's impressive.

00:05:18.000 Someone heard it.

00:05:18.000 They were like, there's some hum.

00:05:19.000 What is that hum about?

00:05:21.000 Oh, wow.

00:05:21.000 That's a big difference.

00:05:23.000 Yeah, but we can hear it, but these are directional mics.

00:05:25.000 Oh, okay.

00:05:26.000 But yeah, I'm sure a lot of people heard it.

00:05:27.000 Yeah, it is what it is, man.

00:05:29.000 Now you can hear the birds.

00:05:30.000 Maybe.

00:05:30.000 Can you guys hear the birds?

00:05:31.000 These birds are, like, chilling right on the roof.

00:05:33.000 They're, like, looking.

00:05:34.000 They're really pretty.

00:05:35.000 They're looking in the window and they're going like...

00:05:36.000 They're like, Tim's recording, quick!

00:05:38.000 Anywhere else.

00:05:39.000 We have a robin in the backyard now. 0.72

00:05:41.000 It's like a fat, egg-filled lady robin. 0.96

00:05:45.000 Oh, dope. 0.78

00:05:45.000 And she stands on one of those garden things and just like yells all day. 0.78

00:05:48.000 I'm like, all day.

00:05:49.000 I haven't seen her.

00:05:50.000 You walk out and she's just like there, and she's like, and you're like, she's not doing anything.

00:05:55.000 Like, no, no, no, I don't think I'm your type.

00:05:58.000 Sorry.

00:05:58.000 Like, why doesn't she move?

00:05:59.000 Literally not your type.

00:06:00.000 She's guarding her nest.

00:06:01.000 Garnet, is that what she's doing?

00:06:02.000 Yeah, so her nest is like right under the porch. 0.87

00:06:04.000 She's yelling, come at me, bro. 0.99

00:06:06.000 Yeah, that's exactly what she's doing. 0.99

00:06:08.000 There was like a hawk or something flying over a big one and a bird attacking it.

00:06:12.000 Really?

00:06:12.000 Yeah, 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.

00:06:19.000 I laugh at your feeble attempts.

00:06:20.000 probably went to attack the nest already. And the other bird was like

00:06:25.000 uh-uh. Yeah. And was probably having an aerial battle. Yeah it was. But the hawk was just

00:06:29.000 like... in nature. It was just flying. It didn't flinch.

00:06:32.000 The other bird was like attacking it. And the big one was like... Yeah the hawk's

00:06:35.000 like, heh, okay. Yeah. I laugh at your feeble attempts.

00:06:38.000 Oh oh oh. I could eat you if I wanted. Yeah man. 0.97

00:06:42.000 So, uh, I guess let's just, uh, let's just jump into talking about hypocrites breaking civil rights law, man, and this weird... SJWs. 0.97

00:06:51.000 SJWs. 1.00

00:06:52.000 They really know how to scream. 0.99

00:06:53.000 Are we free, I guess?

00:06:55.000 We'll start with this.

00:06:56.000 We'll start with this tweet right here.

00:06:57.000 Sure, yeah.

00:06:57.000 Let's go with that.

00:06:58.000 Here we go.

00:06:59.000 The Pulitzer Center.

00:07:00.000 For those that aren't familiar, the Pulitzer Prize is... it's for journalism, but it's also for, like, writing and stuff, too.

00:07:06.000 I think it's nonfiction.

00:07:07.000 I think they do fiction, though.

00:07:08.000 Yeah, I think they give you awards for a lot of stuff.

00:07:10.000 And it's, like, you get this little... I don't know if they give you a physical award.

00:07:13.000 I think you do.

00:07:13.000 You get, like, this brass thing with, like, a guy's face on it or something.

00:07:15.000 Okay.

00:07:16.000 And they give you ten grand.

00:07:17.000 That's my understanding.

00:07:18.000 And they tweeted this, and they're getting ratioed.

00:07:20.000 Now, I might point out, the ratio is relatively small, because nobody cares about the Pulitzer Center, for the most part.

00:07:25.000 Yeah.

00:07:26.000 But 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.

00:07:38.000 Read our full statement here.

00:07:40.000 No, I'm not gonna read your full statement for your religious proclamation.

00:07:43.000 I'm not interested.

00:07:44.000 But 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.

00:07:55.000 And 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.

00:08:02.000 You have to say these things.

00:08:04.000 And then, you know, the 1619 Project?

00:08:06.000 I've heard of it.

00:08:07.000 Yeah, we've talked about it a bunch of times.

00:08:08.000 You know about it.

00:08:09.000 Oh, yeah.

00:08:09.000 Yeah, basically it's fake news.

00:08:10.000 They made some stuff up.

00:08:11.000 Like, it was all made up, basically.

00:08:12.000 Fake history.

00:08:14.000 Yeah, 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.

00:08:20.000 They said that America was like a slavocracy, that everything in American history was designed to perpetuate slavery.

00:08:26.000 None of this is true.

00:08:28.000 It's like historians came out saying, what is this?

00:08:31.000 Who wrote this? 0.99

00:08:32.000 This is ridiculous. 0.97

00:08:33.000 Like, it's not true. 0.86

00:08:34.000 In fact, a lot of the founding fathers They could have done better, I'll tell you what.

00:08:39.000 But they directly opposed slavery from, you know, before even the inception of the United States.

00:08:45.000 And I was reading about it.

00:08:47.000 They 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.

00:08:58.000 So I'm not a fan of that.

00:08:59.000 That's like, you know, it seems like you're willing to sacrifice your principles for power.

00:09:05.000 Yeah.

00:09:05.000 I don't like it. But, hey man, look. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, these have

00:09:09.000 been tools for dismantling oppression. And now we're coming to a period where the pendulum

00:09:13.000 is just swinging all the way in the other direction.

00:09:15.000 Seems like it, yeah.

00:09:17.000 Yeah. Now it's, like we were mentioning earlier, the left has become this dogmatic religious

00:09:22.000 entity.

00:09:23.000 But the problem is, it was like a buildup where liberals were the left in this country for a long time.

00:09:29.000 They took over, you know, inherited a lot of institutions, journalism, media.

00:09:34.000 Rural outlets started, you know, decaying due to the internet, like smaller papers and stuff.

00:09:38.000 And now that urban liberals dominate this, they're all being replaced by religious zealots.

00:09:43.000 So it's like all of a sudden you wake up one day and a cult owns your mainstream media, owns your video gaming.

00:09:48.000 It starts manipulating and you're watching them stick their tendrils into it.

00:09:52.000 Even like small town businesses are being taken over.

00:09:55.000 Walmart, you know, Home Depot, like they're adopting. 0.98

00:10:00.000 Well, no, they're, they're, I mean, I'm, I'm just making a comparison.

00:10:03.000 It's the same kind of thing.

00:10:04.000 It's happening across the board, you know, like the weird, just people taking over.

00:10:09.000 You know what it is?

00:10:10.000 I think it's the natural progression of civil rights law.

00:10:14.000 But now it's gone to a point where it's overtly breaking civil rights law.

00:10:18.000 For 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.

00:10:29.000 It's like, how do you get someone out of a cult?

00:10:32.000 And it's funny because they message me saying things like, what happened to you, man?

00:10:36.000 And I'm like, nothing, literally nothing.

00:10:37.000 Nothing happened to me.

00:10:38.000 I'm the same exact way I've always been.

00:10:40.000 I had some people that I knew from Vice come over.

00:10:42.000 They're like, we're hanging out.

00:10:44.000 And they're saying this insane stuff.

00:10:46.000 And I'm like, what changed for you guys?

00:10:50.000 And they were like, what do you mean, man?

00:10:52.000 Like, you know, they're looking at me saying that I've changed, my content's changed.

00:10:55.000 And I'm like, let me ask you a question, man.

00:10:58.000 Think about an article Vice would have written 10 years ago.

00:11:01.000 Okay.

00:11:03.000 Think about an article Vice would write today.

00:11:05.000 Like, come on.

00:11:06.000 I don't know Vice anymore, so I can't even think of something that they'd write.

00:11:09.000 They wrote an article that said, this horrifying app can show you any woman topless.

00:11:16.000 Because what it would do is you take a picture, and then it would Photoshop it instantly to take the shirt off.

00:11:20.000 Okay.

00:11:21.000 And I was like, here's the article, right?

00:11:23.000 And they're like, yeah.

00:11:24.000 And I'm like, would Vice have written this 10 years ago?

00:11:27.000 No.

00:11:28.000 And they're like, no.

00:11:30.000 And I'm like, right.

00:11:31.000 So you look at me, And you're like, you changed, man.

00:11:34.000 I'm like, no I didn't.

00:11:35.000 I went to work for the company in what year was it?

00:11:38.000 It was 2012 is when I started talking to Vice.

00:11:40.000 2013 is when I got hired.

00:11:41.000 And that was around the time things started to change.

00:11:43.000 I 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.

00:11:51.000 They actually did that.

00:11:52.000 Really?

00:11:52.000 Yeah, there's weird stories about the things they used to do when they were edgy and punk rock.

00:11:56.000 Like really weird stuff.

00:11:58.000 And then they all of a sudden just became infected by this stuff.

00:12:01.000 And I'm like, you guys don't understand what you say and what you're doing.

00:12:09.000 Regular people don't like it, you know?

00:12:11.000 Yeah, regular people.

00:12:13.000 So it's like, you think about policy-wise, and I'm like, here you are advocating for, for one, violating the civil rights law.

00:12:21.000 When they do posts where they're like, we're only hiring, so in like the UK they do this thing where they say they're only hiring BAME. 0.98

00:12:26.000 Okay.

00:12:27.000 What does BAME stand for? 1.00

00:12:29.000 Never even heard of it.

00:12:30.000 I'm not sure.

00:12:30.000 But that's the word, right?

00:12:32.000 Let me look it up.

00:12:33.000 Yeah, it's like, uh... BAME. 1.00

00:12:35.000 B-A-M? 0.99

00:12:36.000 Yeah, B-A-M-E. 1.00

00:12:37.000 BAME. 0.99

00:12:38.000 Yeah, it's like something African and Minority Ethnic, I think.

00:12:41.000 Black Asian Minority Ethnic.

00:12:42.000 There you go, Black Asian Minority Ethnic.

00:12:44.000 And in the United States, that's illegal.

00:12:46.000 Outright.

00:12:47.000 Yeah.

00:12:47.000 There's some exceptions.

00:12:48.000 Okay.

00:12:49.000 Yeah, so if, like, if someone came out and said, I'm looking to hire for this job, but you have to be this category.

00:12:56.000 Okay.

00:12:56.000 That's totally illegal.

00:12:58.000 Makes sense.

00:12:59.000 And so the civil rights movement was built to stop people hiring based on identity.

00:13:08.000 Yeah.

00:13:09.000 And we pass a law saying you can't do this anymore.

00:13:12.000 And now they're doing it.

00:13:13.000 Now the people who claim to fight against it, they're the same.

00:13:15.000 It's like, you're like, it's like the pendulum swinging the other direction.

00:13:18.000 Yep, that's all I was thinking.

00:13:19.000 The pendulum swings.

00:13:20.000 They're trying so hard to be not racist that they're racist.

00:13:25.000 Or does it not even swing the other way?

00:13:26.000 Maybe it just swung back.

00:13:28.000 Maybe the pendulum swing really is like, racists, freedom.

00:13:31.000 Racists, freedom.

00:13:33.000 And it doesn't matter what the core ideology is if they're just overt racists.

00:13:37.000 Yeah.

00:13:38.000 The Pulitzer Prize seems just like it's become a participation trophy.

00:13:43.000 Like, oh, you did an awesome article about SJW stuff.

00:13:47.000 Here you go.

00:13:48.000 You win one.

00:13:49.000 You wrote a good sermon for the... For the SJW population. 0.82

00:13:53.000 Yeah, the Church of Inclusion and Diversity.

00:13:55.000 Yeah.

00:13:56.000 And the definitions keep changing.

00:13:58.000 Like, this is funny, James Lindsay is a... Is James Lindsay a professor?

00:14:02.000 He's a professor, right?

00:14:03.000 He is.

00:14:03.000 Yeah.

00:14:04.000 And do you know what the Sokal Squared hoax is?

00:14:06.000 No idea.

00:14:07.000 You're gonna love this, bro.

00:14:08.000 Oh, man.

00:14:08.000 And I know a lot of people listening probably already know this, but if you don't, you're gonna love this.

00:14:13.000 So Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay, and Helen Pluckrose, the three masterminds of what's called Sokal Squared.

00:14:21.000 Peter Boghossian is, what is he?

00:14:23.000 He's an associate professor of philosophy, I think?

00:14:24.000 No, he's a math teacher.

00:14:26.000 He's a man?

00:14:26.000 Yeah.

00:14:27.000 No, Peter Bogosian.

00:14:28.000 Oh, sorry, yeah.

00:14:28.000 Yeah, James Lindsay's a math teacher, right?

00:14:30.000 I was gonna say, yeah.

00:14:30.000 Okay.

00:14:31.000 They wrote fake academic articles, published them, or submitted them and got them published in prestigious academic journals.

00:14:40.000 Okay.

00:14:41.000 Now, first, they wrote one called, what was it, like, they wrote, where are we getting feedback now?

00:14:47.000 What's going on with that?

00:14:48.000 Yeah, I hear that.

00:14:50.000 There we go.

00:14:51.000 I don't know if they can hear us.

00:14:52.000 I think it's just us.

00:14:53.000 It's just us.

00:14:54.000 All right, hold on, hold on.

00:14:55.000 I don't want to bear the lead.

00:14:56.000 Go ahead.

00:14:57.000 They wrote about rape culture in dog parks.

00:15:02.000 In dog parks?

00:15:02.000 Dog parks.

00:15:04.000 Okay.

00:15:05.000 I think that one got picked up.

00:15:06.000 Yep.

00:15:06.000 Here's the best one.

00:15:08.000 They took a section out of Mein Kampf and they changed certain proper nouns to feminist buzzwords. 0.98

00:15:14.000 Okay.

00:15:14.000 And it got published.

00:15:15.000 Wait, what's Mein Kampf?

00:15:16.000 That's Hitler's book. 0.96

00:15:18.000 Oh, jeez.

00:15:18.000 Yep.

00:15:20.000 Okay, and it got published.

00:15:23.000 That one did get published.

00:15:25.000 So that's some professional troll work right there.

00:15:27.000 And they got attacked for it.

00:15:29.000 They were trying to prove a point.

00:15:31.000 Yeah, the point was that social sciences has been totally dominated by dogma.

00:15:37.000 That if you just adhere to the dogma of the social justice rhetoric, they'll publish anything.

00:15:43.000 It's like, man, could you imagine this?

00:15:45.000 This is what's crazy.

00:15:46.000 Cause I had my complaints with the moralistic religious right when I was growing up, but they couldn't add pages to the Bible.

00:15:51.000 Right.

00:15:51.000 You know what I mean?

00:15:52.000 It was like, the Bible was there.

00:15:53.000 Imagine if they could though.

00:15:55.000 Like today we're putting a new chapter right in the back.

00:15:58.000 And that's what we're getting with social justice. 0.67

00:16:01.000 Isn't the end like the end of all times?

00:16:03.000 I don't know the Bible at all.

00:16:05.000 Isn't Revelations, is that in the middle?

00:16:06.000 But that's not the end of the world.

00:16:09.000 I thought it is.

00:16:11.000 I think you guys are wrong.

00:16:13.000 I certainly don't have anything, I don't know the Bible at all.

00:16:18.000 Yeah, you know.

00:16:19.000 I would trust her.

00:16:20.000 And I'm right.

00:16:21.000 So couldn't go then, they'd have to fit it in before that.

00:16:25.000 Right before the end, all this new stuff will happen that we're gonna declare.

00:16:28.000 Not about what will happen, just like new rules.

00:16:31.000 Leviticus 8,926.

00:16:31.000 Old Testament.

00:16:34.000 Well, how often do you think that?

00:16:35.000 That had to have happened, though, in real life.

00:16:37.000 They actually had to add stuff and create new things.

00:16:41.000 I mean, I don't know a whole lot about the history, but I'm pretty sure there was, like, something like Council of Rome or something.

00:16:46.000 Do you know about this?

00:16:47.000 Council of Nicaea?

00:16:47.000 Is that what it's called?

00:16:48.000 They went through and they, like, edited some of it.

00:16:50.000 Yeah, yeah, come on.

00:16:51.000 What is that all about?

00:16:51.000 I know.

00:16:52.000 The word of God isn't good enough here.

00:16:53.000 It's good enough here.

00:16:56.000 So 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. 0.63

00:17:10.000 Now they just keep changing everything.

00:17:12.000 Now it's like, look, James Lindsay said, I'll kindly add some expanded clarity on these continuously evolving definitions for you.

00:17:19.000 What does that even mean?

00:17:21.000 But he's right.

00:17:22.000 Well, they keep changing stuff.

00:17:23.000 Look at this.

00:17:25.000 Diversity.

00:17:25.000 What does it mean?

00:17:26.000 Diversity means more than just acknowledging and or tolerating difference.

00:17:30.000 Diversity is a set of conscious practices that involve understanding and appreciating interdependence of humanity, cultures, and the natural environment.

00:17:38.000 Practicing mutual respect for qualities and experiences that are different from our own.

00:17:42.000 Understanding that diversity includes not only ways of being, but also ways of knowing.

00:17:48.000 Recognizing that personal, cultural, and institutionalized discrimination creates and sustains privileges for some, while creating and sustaining disadvantages for others.

00:17:55.000 Building alliances across differences so that we can work together to eradicate all forms of discrimination.

00:18:00.000 Now, as far as I'm concerned, this whole thing is like the new nobility.

00:18:04.000 That's what it is.

00:18:05.000 And they want to maintain their class power by claiming that they're advocating against their class power.

00:18:11.000 But they're not.

00:18:12.000 They're establishing it.

00:18:14.000 Right?

00:18:14.000 Okay.

00:18:16.000 I see what you're saying.

00:18:17.000 A society that says everyone has equal opportunity and merit determines means that, well, of course some people have class-based, you know, advantages.

00:18:27.000 But 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.

00:18:40.000 You're, you're, you're anchoring your position as in the hierarchy above other people.

00:18:45.000 It's literally what they do.

00:18:46.000 Yeah.

00:18:46.000 And they justify it by saying like, but we're going to help those in need.

00:18:50.000 It's like, nah, you're actually just telling people that you're smarter and better than them.

00:18:54.000 You know?

00:18:56.000 Hmm.

00:18:56.000 And now it's in journalism, and it'll be everything.

00:19:00.000 You know, I think we were talking about how this stuff is kind of drifting away when COVID happens.

00:19:06.000 It felt like it for a while, yeah.

00:19:07.000 Yeah, and now that COVID's going away, this is coming back.

00:19:10.000 Coming back, yay.

00:19:11.000 Going away, in quotes.

00:19:12.000 But it is, I mean like, we see those videos of people out partying at the Lake of the Ozarks.

00:19:17.000 It feels like they're really trying to keep it as long as possible though.

00:19:20.000 Like, wait, where's COVID?

00:19:21.000 Can we keep it around somehow?

00:19:22.000 Can we blame it for something else?

00:19:23.000 We don't have enough powers, as it is.

00:19:25.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:19:26.000 And for a while, the culture war was COVID.

00:19:29.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:19:30.000 It was like, the dogma from the left was the lockdown must remain.

00:19:35.000 And then the right started saying, no, the lockdown must be lifted.

00:19:37.000 And it was like, what?

00:19:37.000 And like, that was it.

00:19:40.000 Yep.

00:19:40.000 That was it.

00:19:40.000 It's a partisan issue now.

00:19:42.000 Yep.

00:19:44.000 And now what are we dealing with?

00:19:46.000 We're dealing with like the, uh, the lockdowns backfired.

00:19:50.000 We've got numerous studies saying it, it, the New York times.

00:19:54.000 Uh, this is what, this is what my main segment on my, uh, my YouTube, uh, my Tim cast channel was about.

00:19:58.000 The New York Times said the coronavirus is worse in Democrat counties.

00:20:03.000 Yeah, I didn't see that video.

00:20:05.000 We talked about it before you recorded it, though.

00:20:07.000 It's interesting.

00:20:08.000 If you live in an area where Hillary Clinton won, you are more likely to be negatively impacted by COVID.

00:20:13.000 I was not expecting to hear that.

00:20:16.000 And so a lot of people immediately say like, oh, well, you know, the Hillary Clinton districts are all population dense.

00:20:21.000 Doesn't explain Houston and Dallas.

00:20:23.000 It doesn't explain Japan.

00:20:24.000 It doesn't explain a bunch of big cities around the world that did not face this.

00:20:27.000 Well, someone actually tweeted this to me earlier.

00:20:29.000 They said that you, you talked about, you referenced Japan, the numbers in Japan, and they said that they live in Japan.

00:20:36.000 They've been there for six years and it's really hard to get tested.

00:20:40.000 It's really hard to get treatment.

00:20:42.000 So a lot of the people who have COVID are going unnoticed basically.

00:20:46.000 Sure.

00:20:46.000 It's hard to get an actual number.

00:20:49.000 Look at the numbers.

00:20:50.000 So I think the easiest way to assess that is you look at South Dakota, you look at Texas, you look at Florida.

00:20:56.000 Are their hospitals overrun with COVID patients?

00:20:58.000 No.

00:21:00.000 So testing aside, the answer is no.

00:21:01.000 That actually got me thinking.

00:21:03.000 Which hospitals were overrun?

00:21:04.000 In New York, there were.

00:21:05.000 There was?

00:21:06.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:21:06.000 Some hospitals went overrun?

00:21:07.000 Definitely.

00:21:08.000 I mean, there's videos of this.

00:21:09.000 And then why didn't they use those extra hospitals that they set up then?

00:21:13.000 Javits was used.

00:21:14.000 It was used?

00:21:14.000 The Javits Center.

00:21:15.000 Okay.

00:21:15.000 And I'm not sure about the boat.

00:21:18.000 Was it the Mersey?

00:21:18.000 The medical boat.

00:21:19.000 Yeah, I don't think it was.

00:21:20.000 The Javits Center was used, but most of the field hospitals, like 90% or whatever, never used it all.

00:21:27.000 So, now they're just keeping everything locked down?

00:21:31.000 So, technically, it was a partisan issue.

00:21:34.000 Yeah.

00:21:36.000 Weird, right?

00:21:36.000 Right.

00:21:37.000 Yeah, in many ways.

00:21:37.000 Yeah, so the policies, look, we look at that data and we can't say exactly which policies, we can't say the extended lockdowns were wrong.

00:21:47.000 So, Texas was one of the last to lock down and one of the first to open, according to the New York Times.

00:21:51.000 Okay.

00:21:52.000 Texas also had almost none of the problems of New York.

00:21:56.000 New York was one of the first to lockdown, and Washington was one of the first to lockdown, and they had it really, really bad.

00:22:02.000 Yeah.

00:22:03.000 And 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.

00:22:14.000 Better extend the lockdown another month, month and a half.

00:22:16.000 Yeah.

00:22:16.000 Like, wait, what?

00:22:18.000 You're taking people out of the jails and then putting them in the place where they're getting sick?

00:22:21.000 And 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.

00:22:32.000 Like, why would you put, like, of course, those are the people that are getting killed.

00:22:36.000 Why are you putting people in there?

00:22:38.000 Oh, that was Trump's fault.

00:22:40.000 Oh right, he blamed Trump for that.

00:22:42.000 Even though Trump sent over the medical boat for them to use.

00:22:46.000 Which now I'm finding out they didn't even use.

00:22:49.000 How does that make any sense?

00:22:51.000 I don't know why they didn't use it.

00:22:53.000 Is that just their go-to?

00:22:55.000 Oh, am I being blamed for something?

00:22:56.000 No, no, no.

00:22:57.000 Trump did it.

00:22:57.000 It's Trump's fault.

00:22:58.000 That's their go-to.

00:22:59.000 I'm so sick of that.

00:23:03.000 I want the states to reopen.

00:23:04.000 They'll go, you can't make the states reopen because you don't have the authority.

00:23:08.000 And Trump goes, I have the authority.

00:23:10.000 I have supreme authority.

00:23:11.000 And all the journalists are like, no, you don't.

00:23:13.000 And he doesn't.

00:23:14.000 Yeah.

00:23:14.000 But then when the states are falling apart, they're like, Trump should have locked down sooner.

00:23:20.000 Yeah.

00:23:21.000 It's when the problem, when it's their fault, it's Trump for doing it.

00:23:25.000 And they need money.

00:23:26.000 But then when Trump wants to change things, they say, you're not allowed to because you don't actually have the authority to do it.

00:23:29.000 Oh yeah, and they want money. 0.99

00:23:31.000 Oh man, I love it.

00:23:33.000 Man, they need money.

00:23:35.000 It reminds me of, you know the greatest story ever told by George Carlin?

00:23:39.000 It sounds familiar.

00:23:40.000 I might have heard it, yeah.

00:23:41.000 If you've ever seen the Zeitgeist documentary.

00:23:43.000 I have, yeah.

00:23:44.000 It opens with him saying, like, the greatest story ever told, and then he talks about religion.

00:23:47.000 He drags religion. 0.96

00:23:48.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:23:49.000 But then he ends by saying, you know, there's a man in the sky, and he needs money!

00:23:53.000 And 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.

00:24:06.000 Mm-hmm.

00:24:07.000 They can rag on Trump.

00:24:08.000 All day and night.

00:24:09.000 It's all his fault!

00:24:10.000 Yeah, it's what Phil Murphy's doing.

00:24:12.000 Phil Murphy in New Jersey.

00:24:14.000 Yeah, 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.

00:24:23.000 Give us some money!

00:24:23.000 He actually said they were going to fire medical professionals.

00:24:28.000 Wow.

00:24:29.000 This 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.

00:24:39.000 They should provide for health care and food and cover rent or like a moratorium on rent and evictions while this is happening.

00:24:45.000 And I'm like, that is such a fairytale view of the world, man.

00:24:50.000 Yes, the good old government fairy will float down your chimney and sprinkle their little magic cane, and poof! 1.00

00:24:55.000 A cornucopia of fruit and vegetables and bread will pour out, and they'll smile like a Disney movie.

00:25:00.000 What a lovely image.

00:25:01.000 I like that.

00:25:02.000 Imagine Uncle Sam, but fat.

00:25:04.000 With wings.

00:25:05.000 And he floats in, and it's like Disney animation, and he goes like... Okay, whoa, whoa.

00:25:09.000 It just now turned into a nightmare.

00:25:11.000 He got really terrible.

00:25:12.000 Yeah.

00:25:12.000 My gosh.

00:25:13.000 I don't want to imagine that.

00:25:14.000 And then when you wake up, he goes, You!

00:25:16.000 I want you!

00:25:19.000 Like, you want me?

00:25:19.000 To eat this bread I made!

00:25:22.000 And you're like, uh, thanks Uncle Sam.

00:25:23.000 Do you know the government used to give people cheese?

00:25:26.000 What?

00:25:27.000 Government used to give people cheese, bro.

00:25:28.000 Government cheese.

00:25:29.000 Real cheese.

00:25:31.000 Oh, real cheese, not fake cheese, huh?

00:25:33.000 The government used to give people cheese.

00:25:35.000 I mean, I'll take some chow cheese from the government.

00:25:37.000 No, it was nasty.

00:25:38.000 It was nasty stuff.

00:25:40.000 Look at this.

00:25:41.000 Government cheese. 0.98

00:25:42.000 It looks gross.

00:25:43.000 It's real!

00:25:44.000 One big huge block of cheese.

00:25:46.000 Government cheese is processed cheese provided to welfare beneficiaries.

00:25:49.000 Could you imagine Ronald Reagan actually coming to your door?

00:25:52.000 Is it Reagan holding a big block of cheese?

00:25:54.000 Here's cheese, buddy.

00:25:55.000 You hungry?

00:25:57.000 No.

00:25:58.000 Not anymore.

00:25:59.000 Is Velveeta the same as government cheese?

00:26:02.000 You won't soon forget it.

00:26:03.000 Its flavor was described as somewhere between Velveeta and American.

00:26:07.000 The government made its own cheese and gave it to people.

00:26:10.000 So they weren't trying to sell it or anything, huh?

00:26:13.000 No, it was like their equivalent of food stamps.

00:26:15.000 They'd give you a block of cheese.

00:26:17.000 To source the calories.

00:26:18.000 The government comes down.

00:26:19.000 So, okay, I'll tell you what.

00:26:20.000 Maybe if people grew up in the 50s and they got cheese, they're like, the government should give us cheese again!

00:26:24.000 I demand!

00:26:26.000 Cheese.

00:26:26.000 Remember when they gave us cheese?

00:26:28.000 I miss those days.

00:26:30.000 I don't know how I'd feel.

00:26:31.000 Does it come in a cooler?

00:26:34.000 Oh, no, because Velveeta is shelf-stable.

00:26:36.000 Yeah, Velveeta is shelf-stable, huh?

00:26:39.000 Yeah.

00:26:40.000 Nah.

00:26:40.000 No thanks.

00:26:42.000 I'm good.

00:26:43.000 Nah.

00:26:44.000 I mean, it's American cheese.

00:26:45.000 What do you expect?

00:26:46.000 I never liked American cheese anyway.

00:26:48.000 Food stamp recipients and the elderly receiving Social Security in the U.S.

00:26:51.000 got government cheese.

00:26:52.000 Oh, man.

00:26:53.000 And food banks.

00:26:54.000 It was processed cheese used in military kitchens during World War II.

00:26:57.000 Oh, wow.

00:26:58.000 And it had been used in the schools since the 1950s, so I guess they had too much.

00:27:02.000 They made a bunch of cheese for the war, and so they were like, give people cheese?

00:27:06.000 Wait, when were they actually giving away this cheese?

00:27:08.000 In the 50s.

00:27:09.000 Oh, it was in the 50s.

00:27:10.000 Yeah, in the 50s.

00:27:11.000 That's crazy, right?

00:27:12.000 Anyway, back to the main point.

00:27:14.000 I don't know how we got here.

00:27:15.000 Random?

00:27:15.000 No, because I'm talking about my friend who's gone completely down the cultist rabbit hole.

00:27:22.000 Okay.

00:27:22.000 And it's shocking to me.

00:27:24.000 That's hard.

00:27:24.000 That they used to be normal, and then something happened to them.

00:27:28.000 And it's like I was explaining early on, like, nothing happened to me, dude.

00:27:31.000 Like, there's a reason I left Vice.

00:27:32.000 Everyone started going crazy.

00:27:33.000 I'm very individualistic.

00:27:34.000 I'm very headstrong.

00:27:35.000 I know what I'm doing, where I'm going.

00:27:37.000 The things that I've talked about policy-wise, it's like Bernie Sanders in 2008 or whatever.

00:27:42.000 He's like, we gotta build a wall!

00:27:43.000 Bernie, he said border fence or something.

00:27:45.000 Okay.

00:27:46.000 We need a barrier between this country and Mexico. 1.00

00:27:48.000 Because he and then even recently with the New York Times he said

00:27:52.000 illegal immigration depresses wages and I'm like these are facts that every Democrat supported 1.00

00:27:57.000 but now they've all gone so far left on this cultist rabbit hole they're like we gotta stop

00:28:01.000 deporting people and let them work here it's like wait and give them health insurance yeah 0.98

00:28:06.000 Wait, we don't even have health insurance as Americans.

00:28:08.000 Why are you jumping over to giving other people health insurance?

00:28:13.000 How does that make any sense?

00:28:14.000 You know the easiest way I can explain it?

00:28:17.000 Have I ever told you about the Tai Chi Hitler stuff? 0.89

00:28:20.000 No.

00:28:21.000 Let me see if I can find this.

00:28:22.000 Oh, please don't lie to me.

00:28:23.000 Tai Chi, Hitler stuff. 0.79

00:28:24.000 Tell me about Tai Chi, Hitler stuff. 0.94

00:28:25.000 I'm not sure where this is going.

00:28:27.000 It kind of makes me uncomfortable.

00:28:29.000 I'm not going to play.

00:28:31.000 Maybe I should play.

00:28:32.000 Is it an anime?

00:28:34.000 No, let's pull this up.

00:28:36.000 Hulk vs. Hitler Finger Family Nursery Rhymes. 0.63

00:28:40.000 Oh, this thing you were talking about the other day.

00:28:42.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:28:43.000 That was loud.

00:28:44.000 We do not want to play that.

00:28:46.000 My ears hurt.

00:28:47.000 Let's see, let's see.

00:28:48.000 Sorry if that affected anyone else.

00:28:50.000 All right, there you go.

00:28:50.000 For those that are watching, we got Adolf Hitler and what looks like some kind of Hulk monster.

00:28:55.000 It looks like a lizard Hulk.

00:28:58.000 And so what it is, I'm not going to play the audio.

00:29:01.000 It's really creepy.

00:29:02.000 Look at this.

00:29:02.000 What is that?

00:29:02.000 That's like Sasquatch Hulk.

00:29:05.000 Oh, wait, look, here's a green bikini lady and cat woman doing the same thing. 1.00

00:29:09.000 And then a finger comes up with the green lady's face. 1.00

00:29:12.000 What is going... What are we watching?

00:29:14.000 We are watching... I feel like we just jumped into the SJW hole.

00:29:19.000 Right.

00:29:19.000 I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

00:29:21.000 It does.

00:29:21.000 It feels like we're in a hole somewhere.

00:29:23.000 It does.

00:29:23.000 Oh, this is Nursery Rhymes for Children.

00:29:25.000 This is what we were talking about the other day!

00:29:26.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:29:27.000 Alright, so listen.

00:29:28.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:29:29.000 For those of you that are listening, I'm gonna explain this to you.

00:29:32.000 Wow.

00:29:32.000 We're looking at this freaky Hulk vs. Hitler 3D animation nursery rhyme video.

00:29:39.000 And this is the easiest way I can explain to people social justice politics.

00:29:43.000 Yeah.

00:29:44.000 So let me explain to you why this video exists.

00:29:47.000 Please try to explain it to me because I don't get it.

00:29:49.000 Mothers were giving babies iPads.

00:29:51.000 Right.

00:29:52.000 They would put the iPad in front of the baby and they would turn on finger family nursery rhyme.

00:29:56.000 Okay.

00:29:57.000 The 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.

00:30:05.000 Where it like basically names all the fingers.

00:30:07.000 Okay.

00:30:08.000 YouTube's autoplay algorithm doesn't differentiate between substance.

00:30:14.000 It only interacts with like, are you watching for a long time?

00:30:18.000 Okay.

00:30:18.000 And are the keywords relevant, right?

00:30:20.000 The algorithm at the time, this is several years ago, like just, it didn't work very well.

00:30:25.000 And 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.

00:30:36.000 Then it'll play another real Nursery Rhyme video.

00:30:38.000 Okay.

00:30:38.000 But then the quality will start to degrade.

00:30:41.000 This video was developed by people in India who used basically keyword scrapers to figure out what was getting the most plays on YouTube.

00:30:50.000 And make stuff that would also get hits, basically.

00:30:52.000 Yeah.

00:30:53.000 And so what happens is after a few runs, the autoplay algorithm on YouTube would play complete garbled nonsense.

00:31:01.000 Right.

00:31:01.000 Now here's what's funny.

00:31:03.000 When you look at that as a sentient human adult who is like learned even a little bit, you're like, this is insane.

00:31:12.000 Yes.

00:31:13.000 But what would happen if someone took an amalgamation of general politics and mashed it all together

00:31:18.000 and then presented it for you?

00:31:20.000 It would look real.

00:31:22.000 To a baby, they can't tell the difference.

00:31:23.000 They see this, the baby's like, oh, that's just, that's the only thing I know.

00:31:28.000 So here's what happens with social justice politics.

00:31:31.000 Facebook started, early on in Facebook's days, a bunch of blogs started popping up,

00:31:38.000 like Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, and they found that by exploiting Facebook's algorithm,

00:31:43.000 they could get a ton of shares on their articles But it was completely dependent upon Facebook, people on Facebook clicking share.

00:31:52.000 Something truly fascinating ends up happening.

00:31:56.000 A website like Huffington Post will write about a police brutality article.

00:32:00.000 You know, like some police brutality thing happens.

00:32:03.000 100,000 shares, they get 10 million views, and they're like, we just made 40 grand off of that one article.

00:32:09.000 It took you 10 minutes to write?

00:32:11.000 Yeah.

00:32:11.000 Write more!

00:32:12.000 Yeah.

00:32:13.000 But then something even stranger happens.

00:32:15.000 BuzzFeed writes about sexism, and that also gets 10 million, right?

00:32:21.000 So the algorithm says, sexism, show this more because people share it.

00:32:25.000 Racism.

00:32:26.000 Show this more because people share it.

00:32:28.000 And then a light bulb appeared over Jonah Peretti's head.

00:32:31.000 Boom! 0.99

00:32:32.000 Booyah! 0.99

00:32:33.000 Making the money.

00:32:34.000 And that's how you get intersectional feminism. 1.00

00:32:38.000 So now on Facebook all of a sudden they started jamming as many things as possible into their articles.

00:32:43.000 And so intersectionality was the key, man.

00:32:46.000 It was the obvious outcome of Facebook's algorithmic manipulation.

00:32:51.000 An article about sexism gets you X views.

00:32:53.000 An article about racism gets you Y views.

00:32:55.000 An article about sexism and racism gets you X plus Y views.

00:32:58.000 All I can think of is that woman talking about Ivanka and how that article just had every different point.

00:33:05.000 We were like, how did it even go there?

00:33:08.000 But nope, she was just putting it all in there to hit all the checkboxes.

00:33:12.000 And it might not even be on purpose.

00:33:14.000 It might be a natural tendency.

00:33:15.000 So here's what happens.

00:33:18.000 I mention, when I say Jonah Peretti and BuzzFeed, those are hypotheticals.

00:33:21.000 I'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.

00:33:33.000 When Facebook changed this, they all panicked and lost a ton of money and laid a ton of people off.

00:33:39.000 But now we end up seeing this tendency occurs, right?

00:33:42.000 The first thing that happened was this.

00:33:45.000 Criggler News pops up, right?

00:33:47.000 A legitimate news source.

00:33:48.000 Have you heard of Criggler News?

00:33:49.000 Criggler News pops up on Facebook.

00:33:50.000 It's not a thing, but it could be.

00:33:53.000 So let's say the year is 2007, and someone creates the Crigglington Post.

00:33:58.000 An interesting twist.

00:34:00.000 Yes, the Criglington Post is straight news.

00:34:02.000 Straight news.

00:34:04.000 Yo, only the real news.

00:34:05.000 That's what we do at Criglington.

00:34:07.000 And so it was articles that were like, today in Syria, 17 fighters approached the U.S.

00:34:12.000 border and surrendered.

00:34:13.000 Really, really boring, dry stuff.

00:34:15.000 At the same time, the Huffington Post pops up.

00:34:19.000 They both publish articles.

00:34:20.000 Kriglington News, the Kriglington Post, is straightforward, fair, and objective.

00:34:25.000 That's right.

00:34:26.000 Robin Post is shock, content, outrage, intersectionality.

00:34:30.000 Guess which one gets more shares?

00:34:32.000 Not Kriglington Post, I'm sorry.

00:34:33.000 No, I know.

00:34:35.000 The straightforward news, people just didn't want it.

00:34:36.000 We had to go under.

00:34:37.000 So now what happens is the real news goes out of business.

00:34:41.000 Yep.

00:34:41.000 Venture capitalists start seeing Huffington Post and all these companies, and so they're like, let's dump some money into this.

00:34:46.000 Yeah, let's invest there.

00:34:47.000 It's making money.

00:34:48.000 Boom.

00:34:48.000 All of a sudden these companies were worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:34:51.000 They're getting crazy investment.

00:34:53.000 I mean, Vox got like, you know, 200 million.

00:34:55.000 Vice got like 500 million.

00:34:57.000 Just, ooh, just dump it all in.

00:34:58.000 Light it up.

00:35:00.000 And, uh, this propped up these companies.

00:35:03.000 Now they were funded.

00:35:05.000 Something else funny happens.

00:35:07.000 So you get a company like Vice.

00:35:08.000 What do they do?

00:35:09.000 They hire people like me.

00:35:11.000 They hire a bunch of cool people who know how to do news and do real legit on-the-ground reporting.

00:35:16.000 They also hire some rage-bait SJW types.

00:35:19.000 Guess which content gets more money?

00:35:21.000 So guess who eventually falls off the budget?

00:35:24.000 That would be you.

00:35:25.000 Well, not me.

00:35:25.000 I quit.

00:35:26.000 Right, I know.

00:35:26.000 I left.

00:35:26.000 They probably would have kept me there forever, you know, if I was still there.

00:35:31.000 Yeah, and pushed you further and further away, though, because you didn't fall in line with what they were doing, you know?

00:35:37.000 No, with Vice?

00:35:38.000 I don't see you staying there.

00:35:39.000 No, no, no.

00:35:39.000 With Vice, I was doing everything they wanted.

00:35:42.000 Oh, okay.

00:35:42.000 Yeah, I mean, Vice was developing things around what I was doing.

00:35:46.000 It's complicated, but Shane's... Of course it is.

00:35:50.000 Of course.

00:35:51.000 Well, yeah, of course.

00:35:51.000 It's not so simple.

00:35:52.000 Especially building Vice News.

00:35:54.000 But Shane said at the Knight Foundation Awards, someone asked him, like, do you ever think Vice would be doing on-the-ground reporting?

00:36:00.000 And he was like, no, it wasn't until, you know, Tim Poole came.

00:36:03.000 And I think he's sitting right over there.

00:36:04.000 And I was like, oh, wow.

00:36:05.000 I already quit at that point.

00:36:06.000 And I was like, I appreciate it, man.

00:36:08.000 So they didn't want to do it.

00:36:09.000 It was difficult.

00:36:10.000 They were resisting.

00:36:11.000 I was like, I want to do field reporting.

00:36:12.000 And they're like, we don't do that.

00:36:14.000 We do documentary stuff.

00:36:15.000 And I'm like, I want to do it.

00:36:17.000 And then Rocco, who's working on Scanner now, was actually a big advocate.

00:36:20.000 Like, you gotta look at what this dude's doing. 0.94

00:36:21.000 He's crazy.

00:36:22.000 So they started building stuff around it.

00:36:24.000 But I could see where things were going because it was slowly turning into a corporate machine.

00:36:29.000 And I knew what that would become.

00:36:32.000 But there's another big aspect to this, right?

00:36:34.000 So I ended up joining Fusion, and at first, these companies weren't infected.

00:36:40.000 The infection spreads to them, right?

00:36:41.000 Vice was actually alright.

00:36:43.000 Vice was making money off being the opposite of a lot of these social justice companies.

00:36:48.000 For one reason or another, more having to do with the sexual harassment accusations against higher-ups at Vice, they started adopting this stuff.

00:36:57.000 I 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.

00:37:04.000 But the infection hit.

00:37:05.000 The people who were more likely to write articles to get traffic were social justice rage bait writers. 0.86

00:37:10.000 So 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.

00:37:20.000 And it's funny because a lot of people would say things like, you know, Tim Pool doesn't get it.

00:37:24.000 You know, this was a year, it's like 2014 stuff, 2015.

00:37:26.000 And when they were talking about Gamergate and like video games being infected with social justice stuff.

00:37:32.000 And I was like, the video game stuff, it's actually really, really obvious how that all started.

00:37:38.000 Let's say you write for a video game outlet.

00:37:41.000 Okay.

00:37:42.000 What do you write about today?

00:37:45.000 Did a video game come out or something?

00:37:46.000 Destiny?

00:37:47.000 Me personally?

00:37:48.000 I mean I would be talking about the game.

00:37:50.000 The mechanics of the game.

00:37:51.000 What game?

00:37:52.000 Right now I'd probably talk about Revenant and the new stuff that's coming out.

00:37:57.000 No, it's been out for a little bit but it's not really well known and it's an incredibly fun game.

00:38:01.000 What do you write about tomorrow?

00:38:03.000 Um, probably a different game.

00:38:06.000 I would just go through all the games I've played in the past.

00:38:08.000 What's the news, though?

00:38:09.000 It's a news outlet.

00:38:10.000 You're not just doing reviews.

00:38:11.000 It's the news.

00:38:11.000 What's the news, man?

00:38:12.000 Did something happen in gaming?

00:38:14.000 I could probably talk about the deer person, but that's a one-off, you know?

00:38:19.000 Then what?

00:38:20.000 I would stick to the games as much as I could.

00:38:23.000 The answer is, you can't.

00:38:25.000 It's impossible.

00:38:26.000 Yeah, what is news in games?

00:38:28.000 So 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.

00:38:40.000 So 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.

00:38:50.000 What do you write about, man?

00:38:52.000 What do you do?

00:38:53.000 Well, I wrote four articles.

00:38:55.000 That's every game coming out this month.

00:38:57.000 Now I gotta write five articles every day for the rest of the month?

00:39:00.000 Social justice fake controversy.

00:39:02.000 They make it up.

00:39:04.000 Like that woman we mentioned about the Ivanka Trump article. 0.91

00:39:07.000 Right.

00:39:08.000 For those that aren't familiar, it was this article that said, okay, Ivanka Trump responded to Elon Musk.

00:39:13.000 Oh, right.

00:39:14.000 Elon Musk said, take the red pill.

00:39:16.000 Ivanka said, taken.

00:39:17.000 And she writes 400 words about incels and misogyny and what this really means about Ivanka.

00:39:24.000 And I'm like, bro, she said a five letter word, calm down.

00:39:27.000 But she stuffed everything in there.

00:39:30.000 Everything.

00:39:31.000 Yup.

00:39:31.000 And so she might not even do that on purpose.

00:39:34.000 That could just be that like.

00:39:36.000 I ran out of steam and I need to write another one.

00:39:40.000 No. 0.98

00:39:41.000 She's the natural crazy person who writes crazy nonsense whose articles work. 1.00

00:39:46.000 She might not be consciously being like, hmm, how do I craft a lie? 0.93

00:39:50.000 And so what happens, a lot of these companies, people think that journalists are told to do this and they do.

00:39:54.000 Nah, man.

00:39:55.000 They're the ones who survived.

00:39:57.000 The industry is collapsing.

00:39:58.000 The Atlantic just laid off 20% of its staff.

00:40:01.000 Who do you think stayed?

00:40:02.000 Let me tell you something, man.

00:40:05.000 Go to an investor.

00:40:06.000 That's a good point.

00:40:07.000 Go to an investor, alright, and tell them this.

00:40:09.000 I want to start a news company and we're going to do a really big news investigation.

00:40:14.000 Okay.

00:40:15.000 Investors are going to ask you how much that costs.

00:40:18.000 First year, full investigation.

00:40:20.000 We're gonna need at least two other people on staff.

00:40:22.000 We're gonna need a travel budget.

00:40:24.000 We're gonna need equipment.

00:40:25.000 Oh man, to get off the ground?

00:40:27.000 For a good investigative reporter, we're talking like 100k.

00:40:30.000 Like, I'm talking like a good one, like an award-winning, like we're gonna, this is gonna be big, right?

00:40:33.000 Yeah.

00:40:34.000 Okay, let's roll that down.

00:40:36.000 It's going to be a new company.

00:40:37.000 We got some young upstarts.

00:40:38.000 We're going to pay them $50 because they live in New York and it's their demand because other companies pay comparably.

00:40:44.000 So we've got two people at $50.

00:40:46.000 We're going to buy a bunch of cameras.

00:40:47.000 We're going to put probably, you know, $30 or $40 in production.

00:40:49.000 So I'm going to need like $100, $200 just in staffing.

00:40:53.000 Then I'm going to need like $50 in office space.

00:40:55.000 And then I'm going to need probably like $100 in travel and everything else.

00:40:58.000 So let's just call it $300K.

00:41:01.000 Investors gonna say all right sounds good.

00:41:03.000 What's our projection after one three or five years, and you're gonna say nothing nothing and nothing Okay, well hold on man.

00:41:11.000 You're asking me for $300,000.

00:41:12.000 What do you mean nothing right nothing?

00:41:16.000 We might not even get the story, bro.

00:41:17.000 We might spend a year investigating and nothing comes out of it.

00:41:20.000 And that budget we're asking for, it's for one year.

00:41:22.000 You want to talk a three-year budget?

00:41:23.000 We'll need a million dollars.

00:41:25.000 Not to mention inflation costs, salaries, and everything.

00:41:28.000 So 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?

00:41:35.000 Get out of here.

00:41:36.000 I'm not paying for that.

00:41:38.000 That's nuts.

00:41:39.000 And another guy walks up and says, buddy, buddy, I'll tell you what. 0.98

00:41:41.000 You give me five grand right now, I'll hire a freelancer for a hundred bucks to write me some nonsense about some racist video gamer. 0.89

00:41:48.000 I'll make a $2,000 return like that overnight.

00:41:50.000 We're just going to gain the algorithm.

00:41:52.000 Five grand.

00:41:53.000 Yup.

00:41:53.000 That's it.

00:41:53.000 Five grand.

00:41:54.000 What do I get out of that?

00:41:54.000 That's it.

00:41:55.000 I think I can turn into 50.

00:41:56.000 How long?

00:41:57.000 A couple of weeks.

00:41:58.000 Deal.

00:41:59.000 There you go.

00:42:00.000 Now people are being inundated with this across the board.

00:42:03.000 You look at CNN, they're struggling, they're burning to the ground.

00:42:05.000 So what do they do?

00:42:06.000 Let's play the game, baby!

00:42:08.000 Let's play the game.

00:42:08.000 Yeah.

00:42:09.000 You 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. 0.88

00:42:21.000 This must be the way life is.

00:42:23.000 They're turning into it.

00:42:24.000 The toxic masculinity.

00:42:26.000 Well, look, these are the articles that are being shared.

00:42:28.000 This must be the way things are.

00:42:30.000 Kind of, yes.

00:42:31.000 The infection's growing into people's minds now.

00:42:33.000 It's not making them Karens.

00:42:34.000 It's activating the Karen gene.

00:42:36.000 There it is.

00:42:37.000 You know what I mean?

00:42:37.000 Yeah.

00:42:38.000 It's like the X gene.

00:42:39.000 So what happens is, if they see nothing but content where it tells them, people not wearing masks, bad.

00:42:47.000 What do they do?

00:42:48.000 You ever see Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

00:42:50.000 No, we've referenced it and people have yelled at me to watch it because it's supposed to be great.

00:42:54.000 Let me pull up this tweet that I posted.

00:42:57.000 I've got to do some navigating.

00:42:59.000 Cassandra Fairbanks, who is a writer, she posted this clip from these Karens who are screeching at somebody for not wearing a mask.

00:43:09.000 Oh yeah, I've seen it.

00:43:10.000 And so I posted a video and I want to play the sound.

00:43:15.000 Oh no, I probably can't play the sound.

00:43:17.000 I think we might be able to.

00:43:18.000 Anyway, I'll just show you the image.

00:43:20.000 Oh, this is from the movie?

00:43:21.000 Yeah, so here, watch.

00:43:22.000 This is Donald Sutherland.

00:43:23.000 She walks up, and then he goes like this.

00:43:28.000 And he's just screaming so loud, it's like ear-splitting.

00:43:31.000 But yeah, we'll get flagged if I play it.

00:43:33.000 He's like... Because he's been body snatched?

00:43:37.000 He's been body snatched.

00:43:38.000 He's like... That's the joke I make, right?

00:43:41.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:43:41.000 So that's what happens.

00:43:42.000 The Karen gene. People want to fit in, right? And so they don't want to be ostracized. If the only

00:43:49.000 thing they see every day, they're being inundated by the same narrative. A narrative that makes no

00:43:54.000 sense, then they just say like, whatever that is, right?

00:43:58.000 Well, it makes sense to them.

00:44:00.000 No, it doesn't make sense.

00:44:02.000 And they know it.

00:44:03.000 That's why they don't do interviews.

00:44:03.000 Do they?

00:44:04.000 I don't know.

00:44:04.000 Absolutely.

00:44:04.000 That's why they don't do interviews, man.

00:44:06.000 Because they know they have no ideology.

00:44:10.000 All they have is the tribe, the collective.

00:44:14.000 And if they defy it, they'll get cancelled.

00:44:17.000 And the rules change every day, so if you do an interview and you say something about them, tomorrow the rule might be different.

00:44:24.000 So anyway, here's the point I was gonna make about the video of the Hitler dancing. 0.78

00:44:28.000 Right, right.

00:44:29.000 You can see all of the weird keywords mashed together that makes no sense.

00:44:33.000 But 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.

00:44:41.000 And then you need to figure out how you can connect them.

00:44:43.000 That's why the rules change so often, because it doesn't make sense at all.

00:44:46.000 Like, what is or isn't offensive makes literally no sense.

00:44:48.000 But mash all of these different political causes into one, and you end up with like the Muslim LGBT alliance.

00:44:55.000 Where you have, in the UK, Muslims showing up to protest the LGBT curriculum in, what was that, in Birmingham?

00:45:01.000 I think so.

00:45:02.000 Or, you know, whatever.

00:45:03.000 Yeah, like elementary school.

00:45:04.000 An 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.

00:45:16.000 It is a subreddit, a forum with millions of people dedicated to ragging on religion.

00:45:23.000 But for the most part, just Christians.

00:45:25.000 You can't rag on Muslims, they're an oppressed minority.

00:45:28.000 And so there was recently a really funny post where it was someone criticizing Islam, and all of the comments were walking on eggshells. 1.00

00:45:37.000 Look, if you want to talk about Christianity, they're like, these backwater yokel morons, so stupid Trump chuds. 1.00

00:45:45.000 And they just go nuts ragging on Christians. 1.00

00:45:48.000 Islam, they were like, you know, I think it's fair to say we can criticize and talk critically. 0.85

00:45:54.000 Unfortunately, too much of these people have hidden motives.

00:45:56.000 And it's like, are you kidding me, dude?

00:45:58.000 Like you want to rag on religion, rag on religion, bro.

00:46:00.000 Where'd all that internet sass go? 1.00

00:46:04.000 It's about what's safe.

00:46:05.000 And it's interesting because we did an event.

00:46:10.000 There's a group called Mythicist Milwaukee.

00:46:12.000 They did an event in Milwaukee.

00:46:14.000 I showed up at the last minute.

00:46:16.000 And there's an interesting break in the atheist community.

00:46:21.000 There's this really weird thing that happened in the early 2010s where the left and the right spun in a weird way and then split in half.

00:46:32.000 Like a polar shift?

00:46:34.000 Not really.

00:46:35.000 Maybe, maybe.

00:46:37.000 Maybe like a polar shift.

00:46:39.000 You now have, like there are people I know who made lefty anti-war videos that are now suit wearing MAGA hat dudes.

00:46:46.000 And I'm like, how did that happen?

00:46:48.000 Yeah.

00:46:48.000 How did that happen?

00:46:49.000 Like that's a change for sure.

00:46:52.000 For sure.

00:46:53.000 But 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.

00:47:03.000 Yeah, definitely.

00:47:04.000 So, like, the best example is these people at Vice being like, man, you've changed, dude.

00:47:07.000 Like, what happened?

00:47:08.000 And I'm like, bro, remember when you wrote that edgy article?

00:47:12.000 Yeah.

00:47:12.000 I'm like, I didn't even write that!

00:47:14.000 There'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. 0.96

00:47:23.000 Yeah. 0.60

00:47:23.000 And he was like, oh, well, I mean, I disavow my past. 0.60

00:47:25.000 And they were like, don't care.

00:47:26.000 You're canceled.

00:47:27.000 And, like, just light him up online. 0.99

00:47:28.000 Like, just go at him like crazy.

00:47:30.000 But these are the people that just... They're the grifters, and they accuse everyone else of being a grifter. 0.97

00:47:36.000 It's sad, dude.

00:47:37.000 When, 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...

00:47:46.000 directly breaking the law.

00:47:48.000 Their companies are advocating for things that are outright illegal.

00:47:51.000 Oh, just like hiring those people?

00:47:53.000 Yeah, 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!

00:48:03.000 It's like, how did your brain snap?

00:48:05.000 So it's illegal to say, I want to hire this specific type of person?

00:48:09.000 For the most part, yes.

00:48:11.000 Okay.

00:48:11.000 Like, if there was a job posting that said, you know, we're looking for a janitor, but men only, super illegal.

00:48:18.000 If it said Christians only, illegal.

00:48:20.000 If it said Americans only, illegal.

00:48:23.000 I think national origin is... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:48:27.000 So now what's happening is, you've got people putting up posts being like, we're only hiring women, we're only doing this.

00:48:33.000 There are exceptions for modeling, entertainment, performance.

00:48:36.000 Alright.

00:48:36.000 For obvious reasons.

00:48:38.000 And there are some exceptions that can be argued in court.

00:48:41.000 Like, that's what the point of judges are for, right?

00:48:43.000 Like, copyright infringement and fair use.

00:48:46.000 Literally everything is copyright infringement that's under fair use, but it's an exemption.

00:48:51.000 So you can be sued and then you'll win on a fair use grounds.

00:48:53.000 Okay.

00:48:54.000 So like, When I show a news article and I'm talking about it and reading it and commenting?

00:48:58.000 Yeah.

00:48:59.000 Yeah, technically that's infringement.

00:49:01.000 Right.

00:49:01.000 Except it's fair use, so... Because it's public.

00:49:05.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:49:06.000 So 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.

00:49:17.000 Long haired freaky people.

00:49:19.000 Long haired freaky people.

00:49:21.000 I think you're allowed to discriminate against long haired freaky people. 0.95

00:49:25.000 No!

00:49:26.000 I'll never work again!

00:49:28.000 Long haired freaky people.

00:49:30.000 Today it's like, what am I supposed to say to somebody who's become a hardcore racist?

00:49:37.000 And they're in the dogma.

00:49:39.000 And it's like the craziest thing is it's all tied together with politics.

00:49:44.000 Yeah.

00:49:45.000 So the lockdown is part of it too.

00:49:46.000 These same people... What makes it even worse though, it becomes part of their like...

00:49:53.000 Emotions, you know, so even having a logical conversation with someone like that, like you asked, like, how do you talk to someone like that?

00:49:58.000 You almost can't.

00:49:59.000 You can't.

00:50:00.000 Because 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.

00:50:13.000 Yeah, you're going against their worldview and that's, you don't do that.

00:50:17.000 As soon as you do that, boom, emotions take over.

00:50:20.000 Same thing.

00:50:21.000 It's crazy how like... Even food.

00:50:23.000 You know, talking about food.

00:50:25.000 People get triggered whenever the word vegan comes around.

00:50:27.000 It's like, oh my gosh!

00:50:29.000 Triggered!

00:50:29.000 And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:50:31.000 I don't care about what you eat.

00:50:32.000 Don't even say it.

00:50:33.000 It's like, the other day he said, you know, oh man, vegans talking about food?

00:50:37.000 And it's like, it wasn't even me in the room.

00:50:39.000 Yeah, it was me talking about it.

00:50:40.000 You were talking about it, you know?

00:50:41.000 And it's like, there's a trigger that happens against the worldview.

00:50:45.000 It's like, You know, that happens pretty much to everyone on different levels, but especially in this situation.

00:50:51.000 Tribalism, you know what I mean? 0.93

00:50:52.000 Exactly.

00:50:52.000 So it's like when people bring up the vegan stuff, it's usually not as heated as the political stuff.

00:50:56.000 Absolutely, yeah.

00:50:57.000 But 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.

00:51:08.000 You know, having pets to some vegans is like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you're using them as love slaves.

00:51:13.000 And it's like, yeah, that's what humans have done for a long time.

00:51:17.000 Like, okay.

00:51:19.000 Anyway, it's pretty funny.

00:51:21.000 It'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.

00:51:36.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

00:51:37.000 And I think Ben Shapiro is a great example.

00:51:40.000 Like how often he's had calm conversations about what he thinks and what he believes.

00:51:44.000 Even if he's wrong, even if people call him out, even if they make videos on YouTube where they're like, here's Ben Shapiro being wrong.

00:51:49.000 He doesn't scream at people and freak out.

00:51:51.000 He can see it.

00:51:52.000 He has his debates.

00:51:52.000 Yeah, but that's what we need.

00:51:55.000 How 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.

00:52:07.000 Maybe 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.

00:52:15.000 Now it's the right.

00:52:17.000 And 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.

00:52:27.000 Yeah, you can't further yourself if you're just only going to believe what you believe.

00:52:32.000 You have to hear the other side of it.

00:52:37.000 Oh, how do you know it's dark at night?

00:52:39.000 Well, because it's bright during the day and then it gets dark at night.

00:52:42.000 I looked out my window.

00:52:44.000 Let me stop you right there, buddy.

00:52:45.000 I don't need to look out the window to know when night and day is.

00:52:49.000 It's hilarious.

00:52:50.000 Here's another example of the dementia that's affecting this group of people.

00:52:57.000 Somebody 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.

00:53:09.000 And so I quoted that in saying, whoa, a Republican tried cheating with mail-in voting.

00:53:13.000 That's a good reason for Democrats to oppose it.

00:53:15.000 I didn't say I was for or against mail-in voting.

00:53:18.000 I was poking fun at the argument that you're accusing Republicans of cheating and being in favor of mail-in voting?

00:53:24.000 Like, how does that make sense, right?

00:53:25.000 Right.

00:53:26.000 And so then someone responded with, are you seriously opposed to mail-in voting?

00:53:30.000 You MAGA Trumpsters need to blah blah blah blah.

00:53:32.000 It's like some high-profile guy who said this.

00:53:34.000 Someone responded with, Tim lays out his position in the evidence here, and links to one of my videos.

00:53:40.000 His immediate response was, let me stop you right there, buddy. 1.00

00:53:42.000 I don't need to watch a video to understand that these people are stupid, blah blah blah blah. 1.00

00:53:47.000 Like, my position was for the most part, we do have evidence of voter fraud. 1.00

00:53:52.000 We shouldn't be changing the rules of an election six months before an election.

00:53:55.000 That seems... nonsensical.

00:53:57.000 You can say the same for about literally any- I don't care if they're Republican, Democrat.

00:54:00.000 If you want to change the rules, you want mail-in voting, you gotta do it beforehand.

00:54:03.000 Pandemics happen.

00:54:04.000 You can't argue, but we're in an emergency now.

00:54:06.000 Yeah, okay, well then where's your emergency provision for how elections are dealt with during an emergency?

00:54:10.000 You can't just sign an executive decree and mail out ballots and be like, we've changed the whole thing!

00:54:14.000 So this is a person who says, I don't need to see the evidence.

00:54:18.000 I'm just going to whinge.

00:54:20.000 That's what's happening nowadays.

00:54:23.000 I like it.

00:54:24.000 Yeah, that's the thing to do.

00:54:26.000 And you know what, man?

00:54:28.000 Let's do this.

00:54:28.000 Let's jump to this UBI thing I want to talk about.

00:54:32.000 Let's talk about universal basic income and Starship Troopers.

00:54:37.000 Yeah.

00:54:37.000 Have you ever seen Starship Troopers?

00:54:39.000 Yeah.

00:54:39.000 Service Guarantees.

00:54:40.000 We've talked about it a lot on the show, actually.

00:54:41.000 Have we?

00:54:42.000 Service Guarantees Citizenship?

00:54:43.000 Yeah, it comes up a lot.

00:54:44.000 Service Guarantees Citizenship?

00:54:46.000 Yeah, basically.

00:54:46.000 Oh, there we go.

00:54:48.000 So here's what I was getting to, right?

00:54:50.000 So 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.

00:54:58.000 And these people vote.

00:55:00.000 And that voting impacts how society functions, and they vote for people who exploit their unwillingness to actually read and understand and engage.

00:55:09.000 So 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.

00:55:16.000 I don't need to watch a video.

00:55:17.000 It may prove me wrong, so I'm not going to watch it.

00:55:19.000 It's not even that.

00:55:20.000 It's like people.

00:55:22.000 Oh, that's in there. 0.92

00:55:23.000 They're just, their brains are closed.

00:55:25.000 Like, I know, I don't need, I don't, I don't need anybody to show me anything.

00:55:28.000 I know.

00:55:29.000 And that person goes and votes.

00:55:31.000 So 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.

00:55:39.000 Okay.

00:55:39.000 But I think it's an interesting idea we're talking about.

00:55:42.000 Or just the simple right to vote.

00:55:43.000 If you serve.

00:55:45.000 What do you mean?

00:55:46.000 Well, I mean, it's one thing to become a citizen, but then you can be a citizen but then have the ability to vote.

00:55:54.000 I know they're not exactly the same thing.

00:55:56.000 For those that aren't familiar with Starship Troopers, it's basically like everyone has equal rights.

00:56:03.000 But only citizens vote.

00:56:06.000 So, what do they call it?

00:56:07.000 Civilians and citizens, right?

00:56:09.000 Oh, okay.

00:56:09.000 Is that what it was?

00:56:10.000 I think it was.

00:56:10.000 Man, it's been too long since I've seen this movie.

00:56:12.000 And the book apparently was a lot better, but basically, all the civilians have equal rights, free speech, whatever.

00:56:18.000 If you want to vote, you have to sign up for, I think, was it two years?

00:56:22.000 I think so, yeah.

00:56:22.000 And then after two years, you become a citizen, and now you enjoy the right to vote, and run for office, and elect people.

00:56:31.000 And 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.

00:56:39.000 But I don't think that's even true for the book.

00:56:41.000 I think it was like civil service, not military service.

00:56:44.000 I'm not entirely sure.

00:56:45.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:56:47.000 I want to talk about universal basic income, but I'll first ask you, what do you think about that idea?

00:56:52.000 Well, I mean, what would be a civil service?

00:56:58.000 Working at the post office or DMV?

00:57:02.000 Working a regular job that is in the government?

00:57:05.000 Working on roads?

00:57:07.000 Fixing roads?

00:57:07.000 Cleaning up the side of the highway?

00:57:09.000 That kind of stuff?

00:57:10.000 Probably.

00:57:10.000 And that could include military service.

00:57:14.000 But military service doesn't mean combat.

00:57:16.000 A lot of people don't understand too.

00:57:17.000 They think it means you're going to go out with a gun.

00:57:19.000 That's actually the response I got from Cameron Kasky.

00:57:24.000 I don't know if you know who he is.

00:57:25.000 He's one of the survivors from Parkland who did like the big press.

00:57:28.000 He got a bunch of press after Parkland, the Parkland shooting.

00:57:31.000 He's a cool dude.

00:57:31.000 I really, I think he's a cool dude.

00:57:33.000 But his response to me, so here's what I said.

00:57:35.000 Here's what I said.

00:57:36.000 What if universal basic income came with mandatory civil service?

00:57:39.000 The army is recruiting and they pay your bills and college, right?

00:57:43.000 I wasn't saying everyone should have to join the army in order to get universal basic income.

00:57:47.000 I was making a point about how there's an easy path to getting government wages, college, healthcare, and join the army.

00:57:54.000 You know what I mean?

00:57:55.000 It's one example of civil service.

00:57:57.000 His response was, let's throw free speech in there too.

00:58:00.000 Why have the right to speak if you haven't almost been killed?

00:58:03.000 And there's a lot wrong with, with, with his immediate response.

00:58:06.000 It's like, first of all, yeah, a lot of people in the army, like desk clerks, you know what I mean?

00:58:10.000 It'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.

00:58:16.000 Oh, Native Americans banging the drum. 1.00

00:58:17.000 They were wearing MAGA hats.

00:58:18.000 Yeah.

00:58:19.000 Yeah.

00:58:19.000 Okay.

00:58:19.000 Native American guy was like, I'm a Vietnam era veteran.

00:58:22.000 Yeah.

00:58:22.000 He was a refrigerator repairman in like Tulsa or something.

00:58:25.000 Oh, okay.

00:58:26.000 Yeah.

00:58:26.000 Do you know what city he was in?

00:58:27.000 I don't know.

00:58:27.000 Yeah.

00:58:27.000 He was just like a refrigerator repairman.

00:58:29.000 People seem to think that like joining the army means they're like parachuting into Afghanistan.

00:58:33.000 Vietnam era.

00:58:34.000 Yeah, Vietnam era, because he didn't actually do anything!

00:58:37.000 And he got, like, discharged.

00:58:38.000 I don't know what happened to that guy.

00:58:40.000 But that's, like, the immediate reaction people have.

00:58:42.000 They assume, like, any service to the government is, like, I don't know, death patrol or something?

00:58:46.000 Yeah.

00:58:47.000 So, 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.

00:58:55.000 So I asked a question.

00:58:56.000 That's it.

00:58:57.000 I didn't say, we should do it this way, it should be this way.

00:59:00.000 I was like, what if?

00:59:02.000 What if UBI was mandatory civil service?

00:59:03.000 Meaning, everybody got a guaranteed wage, and then you had to do some kind of civil service for some kind of period?

00:59:10.000 I didn't even say what, it was just a question.

00:59:11.000 I 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.

00:59:24.000 That's essentially what it is, you know.

00:59:28.000 I 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.

00:59:35.000 They don't do, they don't care about other people.

00:59:37.000 They just do their own thing.

00:59:38.000 And that tends to lead to things that people get greedy, whatever.

00:59:43.000 I'm sure there's many different ways, but the more you help others, the more empathy you gain.

00:59:49.000 And I think that's a big problem with humans nowadays.

00:59:52.000 For sure.

00:59:52.000 I think if there was like, we, I think we used to have more community-based programs and now everything's fractured.

00:59:57.000 It's weird.

00:59:58.000 And like virtual.

00:59:59.000 Yeah, we need that back.

01:00:00.000 But here's what I was thinking about this, right?

01:00:02.000 I'm thinking about civil service and universal basic income.

01:00:05.000 And what's really funny is the resistance from those who would typically support UBI.

01:00:10.000 Okay.

01:00:10.000 How dare you tell me I would have to work to receive money.

01:00:14.000 It should be a right.

01:00:15.000 A universal, I'm like, and there we go.

01:00:17.000 Yeah.

01:00:17.000 Okay.

01:00:18.000 Listen.

01:00:19.000 It should be a right to live for free.

01:00:21.000 If you don't want to give, why should you get?

01:00:23.000 Yeah, I agree with that.

01:00:25.000 So the point I made in response to it is free speech costs nothing.

01:00:29.000 Burgers require human labor. 1.00

01:00:32.000 So should people have to contribute in order to receive?

01:00:36.000 If not, then where do the burgers come from?

01:00:38.000 If you have 100 people and 100 of them are saying, I would like a burger, but none of them want to work, then there's no burgers.

01:00:45.000 It's that simple.

01:00:47.000 So I was thinking like, Andrew Yang has talked about Universal Basic Income being opt-in.

01:00:52.000 If you do, you forego other benefits.

01:00:55.000 Right.

01:00:55.000 And so it can actually cut a lot of costs.

01:00:57.000 That does make sense, actually.

01:00:58.000 It doesn't necessarily cover the total cost of UBI.

01:01:01.000 However, if not everybody signed up for it, then you might actually be able to do it.

01:01:07.000 Now, 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.

01:01:14.000 That's a good point.

01:01:14.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:01:16.000 But it's not necessarily bad if it's run, you know, locally and independently locally or something like that.

01:01:22.000 But 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.

01:01:31.000 In which case, it's just a national jobs program.

01:01:34.000 Yeah, basically.

01:01:35.000 You know what I mean?

01:01:38.000 But I'll tell you what, are you familiar with the Green New Deal?

01:01:41.000 A little bit.

01:01:42.000 Yeah, so it was like, you know, guaranteed income for those unwilling to work was one of the things they put in their document.

01:01:48.000 That's the one they polled though, right?

01:01:49.000 They panicked and were like, I don't know how they got rid of it.

01:01:51.000 Oh, it wasn't really our idea.

01:01:53.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:01:54.000 Yeah, so Kylo Kortez puts out a frequently asked questions and it's like, we're gonna give income to people unwilling to work.

01:02:01.000 That's the extent they go.

01:02:02.000 And I'm like, isn't the compromise just create like a federal jobs program where, what if we did like bounties?

01:02:09.000 Like 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.

01:02:09.000 You know what I mean?

01:02:16.000 And they would say, here's a job that needs to be done.

01:02:19.000 And 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.

01:02:26.000 Hmm.

01:02:27.000 I don't know.

01:02:27.000 Yeah.

01:02:28.000 Otherwise what?

01:02:28.000 We just give people free stuff?

01:02:30.000 I mean, you, someone can mop a floor and someone could do a terrible job of mopping the floor.

01:02:35.000 I'm just using mopping the floor as a random idea, but it's like, not everyone's going to do the job well.

01:02:40.000 You know, it's like they could mop half the floor and be like, yeah, I did it.

01:02:42.000 Sure.

01:02:43.000 Give me my, give me my income now. 0.82

01:02:45.000 Yeah, it's clean.

01:02:46.000 Whatever.

01:02:46.000 Sure.

01:02:47.000 Right.

01:02:48.000 So in that case you end up not actually getting anything done.

01:02:51.000 Exactly.

01:02:52.000 Then the government's spending money for people, Like, yeah, I did the job.

01:02:56.000 And then it ends up being like, they didn't even do the job.

01:02:58.000 They just clicked that they did it and then they're getting paid.

01:03:00.000 And then it's like.

01:03:01.000 Somebody actually responded with that, that they were like that.

01:03:03.000 What happens then is the government hires a bunch of kids to dig holes and a bunch of other kids to fill the holes that they just dig.

01:03:08.000 They just dug.

01:03:09.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:03:10.000 Yeah.

01:03:10.000 You want to hear one of the crazier ideas that may be crazy, like Fox is paying people who commit crimes.

01:03:18.000 Hmm.

01:03:19.000 Yeah.

01:03:19.000 That's the punishment.

01:03:20.000 If you commit a crime, they give you money.

01:03:23.000 Huh.

01:03:24.000 Yeah, have you heard that?

01:03:25.000 No, how does that work?

01:03:25.000 Not a very good incentive.

01:03:26.000 The argument is that it costs us like, you know, $30,000 a year to house an inmate.

01:03:32.000 Okay.

01:03:33.000 And 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.

01:03:44.000 Paying criminals not to commit crime is cheaper than actually putting them in jail.

01:03:47.000 And it actually stops the crime.

01:03:49.000 I like that.

01:03:50.000 Isn't that weird?

01:03:51.000 I mean, why wouldn't we go into that?

01:03:54.000 That's pretty legit.

01:03:54.000 Think about that.

01:03:55.000 Because then you encourage people to just become criminals for income.

01:03:58.000 Or not be criminals.

01:03:59.000 I mean, yeah.

01:04:00.000 No, no, you're right.

01:04:01.000 I see what you're saying.

01:04:02.000 Yeah.

01:04:03.000 So it's, people have these funny ideas where you think about it and you're like, I get it, and then think about what that means.

01:04:08.000 It's like, oh yeah, okay, I know I get it, you're right.

01:04:11.000 You're gonna end up with like, you know, I heard there's a meme about Scandinavians who want to go to jail.

01:04:17.000 Because it's nice there.

01:04:17.000 Because it's awesome.

01:04:19.000 Have you heard that?

01:04:20.000 Actually, 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.

01:04:29.000 I'm looking at the building.

01:04:30.000 It's beautiful.

01:04:31.000 They've got TVs in the room.

01:04:33.000 Everyone's got a nice window on the third or fourth floor overlooking the water.

01:04:37.000 You gotta give context to her.

01:04:38.000 So this is my wife.

01:04:39.000 This is a small town in Sweden.

01:04:41.000 It's in some islands.

01:04:43.000 So it's like right in the middle of an island.

01:04:46.000 It's right in the entrance of the town.

01:04:48.000 And it's beautiful.

01:04:50.000 I mean, it's for sale.

01:04:51.000 It could be in a dope Airbnb.

01:04:54.000 But it's a jail.

01:04:55.000 But I'm looking at it and I'm like, that does not look like a jail.

01:04:58.000 All the rooms are fairly large for what you would expect a jail cell to look like.

01:05:03.000 And it doesn't look like a cell.

01:05:05.000 So interestingly, one of the arguments for universal basic income is that it would reduce crime because it would reduce poverty.

01:05:11.000 Okay.

01:05:13.000 It's interesting, and I see this.

01:05:14.000 This is one of the biggest problems just people in general have.

01:05:18.000 Yes, poverty breeds crime.

01:05:20.000 That doesn't necessarily mean giving criminals money will stop crime.

01:05:23.000 Well 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?

01:05:28.000 I don't actually see that solving the problem because there might actually be some underlying issues that aren't just not having a house.

01:05:34.000 I see another problem is we don't teach even you know whatever class you're in we're not teaching kids like about money.

01:05:42.000 I 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.

01:05:51.000 You need to invest properly, think about what you need in your life.

01:05:54.000 This isn't something that we're even talking about.

01:05:57.000 That also is part of the problem.

01:05:59.000 They 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.

01:06:13.000 That's what they want.

01:06:14.000 This is why the question, what if, is so important in any discussion, right?

01:06:18.000 And that's why I tweeted, what if.

01:06:20.000 I'm not saying... And you get a bunch of emotions being thrown back at you.

01:06:24.000 Anger and people like, you know... Defensiveness.

01:06:26.000 Because this is why I find myself in a milquetoast fence sitting position.

01:06:30.000 Yeah.

01:06:31.000 Dude, there's so much involved in what could happen and what needs to happen before any kind of major overhaul of any kind of program.

01:06:39.000 No one can predict or calculate.

01:06:41.000 So 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.

01:06:48.000 Well, there you go.

01:06:49.000 If one person just comes out and demands Income for people unwilling to work.

01:06:53.000 You can't just throw a wrench into a an engine.

01:06:53.000 It's like dude.

01:06:56.000 You'll break it It's not gonna change.

01:06:57.000 It'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.

01:07:08.000 Mm-hmm, but I thought of something when you mentioned that school.

01:07:10.000 What if public schools paid kids for A's good grades But it wasn't they just give them cash.

01:07:20.000 They basically can buy things within the school.

01:07:23.000 Or give them credit for college.

01:07:25.000 It's like school credits.

01:07:26.000 Like a future, you know, you're investing in your future.

01:07:29.000 If you get all A's, you're going to get a percentage off whatever college you go to.

01:07:33.000 No, no, no.

01:07:35.000 I'm just spitballing here.

01:07:36.000 What I'm trying to say is a school would have a local commissary or something.

01:07:40.000 Okay. Candy bars, you know, sodas, lunches. Sure. And the school will say, you know, for every egg you get on a test,

01:07:47.000 you earn five school credits, you know, and five school credits is equivalent of a dollar or something. Okay. Then

01:07:52.000 the kids actually have an account. They can look at their accounts. They can bounce their accounts. They can see what

01:07:57.000 they can spend on. They can trade credits between each other. Actually give them an understanding of how money

01:08:03.000 I love it.

01:08:03.000 The schools could have like an interest system.

01:08:03.000 works, how to save money.

01:08:05.000 It's not real cash.

01:08:06.000 It'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.

01:08:14.000 Yeah, things they need.

01:08:14.000 Yep.

01:08:15.000 I like that.

01:08:15.000 And then a kid could be like, you know, I got an A on every test in my class.

01:08:20.000 Now I can go get that, you know, candy bar I wanted.

01:08:24.000 I like that. Make them actually work and get some benefit from their work and understand the real

01:08:27.000 value of work and what they can buy with it. Instead, what do we do? We put kids in institutionalized

01:08:31.000 learning facilities where everything is provided for them.

01:08:34.000 And then finally, by the time they graduate with their degree at 22 after college, they're

01:08:38.000 like, tell me what to do, boss.

01:08:39.000 What do I do, boss?

01:08:41.000 I need you to do this.

01:08:43.000 Do your job.

01:08:44.000 That's why I hired you.

01:08:45.000 That's what I want.

01:08:46.000 And they live over communism.

01:08:47.000 Right. Because they're like, my entire existence was in

01:08:50.000 a room where someone told me what to do and provided for me.

01:08:55.000 Yeah. Why should I have to figure out how to make food?

01:08:58.000 That's what I want.

01:08:59.000 Nailed it. Yeah.

01:09:00.000 That's why all these college kids come out and they're like, communism.

01:09:03.000 Yes!

01:09:03.000 The authority!

01:09:04.000 You know what's crazy though?

01:09:05.000 What?

01:09:06.000 I think the general idea of communism can only be bred from children.

01:09:11.000 From the immature, is a better way to put it.

01:09:13.000 Children is just me doing an emotional dig at these people.

01:09:14.000 Why is that?

01:09:15.000 Yeah, yeah, okay.

01:09:16.000 So, I think one of the things we see with millennials is that they never feel like they're ready to take over.

01:09:24.000 And the best example of this is our three or four 70-year-old, 80-year-old presidential figures.

01:09:31.000 Good point.

01:09:31.000 Tulsi Gabbard, awesome.

01:09:32.000 Pete Buttigieg, awesome.

01:09:34.000 Andrew Yang, awesome.

01:09:35.000 He's in his 30s, right?

01:09:36.000 Late 30s?

01:09:36.000 Buttigieg.

01:09:37.000 Yeah.

01:09:38.000 Buttigieg and Tulsi are both like 37, 38.

01:09:39.000 That's awesome.

01:09:41.000 Yang is what?

01:09:41.000 Yang is in his 40s?

01:09:42.000 That's what we need.

01:09:43.000 Younger blood.

01:09:44.000 Younger blood in the government.

01:09:45.000 So it's fair to say we have a decent amount of political candidates, you know, who are younger.

01:09:48.000 Yeah.

01:09:49.000 But 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.

01:09:57.000 Yeah.

01:09:57.000 But a lot of them do.

01:09:58.000 They've never grown up.

01:09:59.000 They've never become adults.

01:10:01.000 They don't want to, more importantly.

01:10:02.000 Definitely.

01:10:03.000 Yeah.

01:10:03.000 They have zero interest.

01:10:04.000 It's way easier.

01:10:05.000 That's scary.

01:10:05.000 They want Grandpa Bernie to take care of them.

01:10:07.000 Yeah.

01:10:08.000 Grandpa Bernie.

01:10:09.000 Bernie's like, I'm going to get your dinner for you.

01:10:11.000 I'm going to pay for your school.

01:10:13.000 I'm going to give you ice cream.

01:10:14.000 You know what my whole life has been?

01:10:17.000 Man, you're so right about that.

01:10:19.000 That's true.

01:10:19.000 It's true.

01:10:20.000 Yeah.

01:10:21.000 I've got to figure out how, look, dude, we have a garden in the back.

01:10:23.000 Yeah.

01:10:24.000 What did we grow?

01:10:24.000 We grew radishes.

01:10:25.000 We have radishes.

01:10:26.000 And chives.

01:10:26.000 We have carrots and chives.

01:10:28.000 You know what's the craziest thing?

01:10:30.000 What was that sketch?

01:10:31.000 I 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?

01:10:40.000 Check it out.

01:10:41.000 I got these seeds, right?

01:10:43.000 Put them in the ground.

01:10:43.000 That's it.

01:10:45.000 Put some water on them.

01:10:47.000 Food grows up.

01:10:48.000 You can sell it!

01:10:49.000 It grows right out of the ground, just like that, you don't gotta do anything!

01:10:52.000 And it's like, has someone ever, have these young people ever realized that?

01:10:57.000 But 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.

01:11:06.000 And so they're not.

01:11:08.000 And so they need someone to do things for them.

01:11:10.000 It's like, have you ever solved a problem on your own?

01:11:14.000 They haven't.

01:11:15.000 And 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.

01:11:27.000 Yeah.

01:11:27.000 So it's just this whole cycle is just never ending and getting worse and worse and worse.

01:11:32.000 It is a, it's a problem of human, uh, like it's like just human nature.

01:11:37.000 It's the cycle.

01:11:39.000 It's like Unilever owns both Dove and Ben and Jerry's.

01:11:43.000 And Dove does the Real Beauty campaign where it's like, you can be overweight.

01:11:46.000 It's no big deal.

01:11:47.000 And then their other property is ice cream.

01:11:49.000 And they're like, eat more ice cream.

01:11:50.000 And they also own like the, the lactose, uh, medicine for the belly.

01:11:57.000 You just sell it in one pack.

01:11:59.000 You know why I always thought that we drink Coke sodas with our Big Macs and fries?

01:12:04.000 Why?

01:12:04.000 Because 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.

01:12:11.000 Well, it's like a burger is trash, and you eat it and you're like, I feel terrible.

01:12:18.000 Let 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!

01:12:26.000 Yeah, caffeine makes you euphoric.

01:12:29.000 It enhances muscle endurance, makes you less tired, so you eat trash and then drug yourself to feel better.

01:12:34.000 That's just like... People gotta eat better, dude.

01:12:38.000 That's a whole other subject, I feel. 0.87

01:12:40.000 But 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.

01:12:54.000 You're being oppressed, actually.

01:12:57.000 You take no responsibility for your health.

01:12:59.000 And look, I'll tell you what, as I always clarify, if you know the risks and choose to do it, I don't care.

01:13:06.000 Right.

01:13:08.000 But if you think you have no responsibility for your own health and then demand I pay for your health care?

01:13:13.000 Yeah, I have issues with that.

01:13:14.000 It's the perfect example of these people.

01:13:16.000 Dude, let me go out into the woods with a dog.

01:13:19.000 I'll build my own log cabin.

01:13:20.000 Leave me alone. 0.98

01:13:21.000 You people have lost your minds.

01:13:23.000 And they just don't want to work and it's like they just drag everybody down.

01:13:27.000 That's probably one of the most, like, people are going to be like, oh man, Tim's going crazy, red pill law, he's so concerned.

01:13:32.000 Look, at a certain point, what's the saying?

01:13:35.000 If you're not liberal when you're young, you have no heart.

01:13:38.000 And if you're not conservative when you're older, you have no head? 0.95

01:13:40.000 Brain, yeah. 0.73

01:13:40.000 Brain? 0.73

01:13:41.000 Well, head is better. 0.98

01:13:42.000 It's like, you know, a little illiterate, I guess.

01:13:45.000 But it's not even about that.

01:13:47.000 I 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?

01:13:53.000 Why?

01:13:53.000 And they start asking questions.

01:13:55.000 Now that's a red pill. 0.93

01:13:56.000 How much of my money went to killing kids? 0.94

01:13:58.000 Yeah. 0.96

01:13:59.000 No, thank you.

01:14:00.000 Wait, I got to pay for that guy's health care?

01:14:03.000 He's smoking a pack a day.

01:14:04.000 Yeah.

01:14:05.000 Come on, man.

01:14:07.000 You know, and eating McDonald's every meal.

01:14:09.000 Dude, I feel like chugging the Coca-Cola.

01:14:12.000 It's the best.

01:14:13.000 It'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.

01:14:21.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

01:14:22.000 Because they're the ones constantly demanding.

01:14:24.000 They become that person.

01:14:25.000 It'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?

01:14:42.000 I have, yeah.

01:14:44.000 That'll turn you into a young conservative for sure.

01:14:46.000 But 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.

01:14:52.000 All right, you all get A's.

01:14:53.000 Yep.

01:14:54.000 Yeah, they're literally doing that.

01:14:55.000 And they're arguing now with their dogma that, like, teachers should give better grades for, like, diversity and inclusion.

01:15:02.000 And, wait, wait, you didn't?

01:15:04.000 We're canceling you.

01:15:04.000 Yep, exactly.

01:15:05.000 And the students will straight up cancel.

01:15:07.000 It's happened, right?

01:15:08.000 You know, Brett Weinstein?

01:15:10.000 It's like one of the funniest stories is that they started spreading lies about him and he's like a progressive lefty guy.

01:15:17.000 And so he's like, some people approached him.

01:15:19.000 I can't remember exactly what happened, but they were calling him like a bigot and a racist.

01:15:22.000 And 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.

01:15:36.000 So they look for people who look like them.

01:15:39.000 So we have to try very hard to break down our inherent biases.

01:15:43.000 And they're like, what?

01:15:45.000 But you're the white supremacist. 1.00

01:15:49.000 Their brains go, and you're just broken. 1.00

01:15:51.000 It's a fun image.

01:15:54.000 Yeah.

01:15:55.000 There's a lot to complain about, I guess.

01:15:56.000 It's a random rant today, huh?

01:15:59.000 Yeah, whatever.

01:15:59.000 Because here we are now with everything locked down, and it all stems from, you know, I feel kind of sad.

01:16:06.000 It's like you lose a friend to a cult, you know?

01:16:09.000 That's hard.

01:16:10.000 That's what it feels like, yeah.

01:16:12.000 They say things that clearly make no sense.

01:16:14.000 And when you try to talk, no, I'm like, listen, let me just ask you one question.

01:16:18.000 The government should provide the food.

01:16:20.000 Where does the food come from?

01:16:22.000 The farmers.

01:16:22.000 From the government.

01:16:23.000 I know, but like the government has to get the food from somewhere, right?

01:16:25.000 Right.

01:16:25.000 Yeah.

01:16:26.000 Well, they just have it.

01:16:28.000 Like, what's your answer?

01:16:29.000 From the farmers.

01:16:30.000 Okay.

01:16:31.000 Where do the farmers get the resources to make the food? 0.98

01:16:33.000 Like you said, dude, the food just grows out of the ground.

01:16:35.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:16:36.000 Who puts it there?

01:16:37.000 Who pulls it out?

01:16:38.000 Who's actually doing it for you?

01:16:39.000 Driving the truck.

01:16:40.000 They actually have like automatic trucks, like tractors now that like drive and do it themselves.

01:16:40.000 Right.

01:16:43.000 Pretty cool.

01:16:44.000 But they have to charge those trucks.

01:16:46.000 That's the real argument for you behind my opinion.

01:16:48.000 That's why I like Andrew Yang.

01:16:49.000 Automation is a real argument.

01:16:51.000 Like what happens when the factories are totally automated?

01:16:53.000 That's a good point.

01:16:54.000 Like the farms are.

01:16:55.000 Granted, we're not there yet, but we are heading there certainly.

01:16:57.000 Yeah.

01:16:58.000 So 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.

01:17:12.000 It's one of the things I brought up on the Rogan Podcast last month.

01:17:15.000 We're going to end up with a period where there's people who have to work and people who can't.

01:17:19.000 What happens when 90% of your population doesn't have to work and 10% does?

01:17:23.000 Kind of like what we're seeing with essential workers.

01:17:25.000 People have to go out and do all this hard work while we get a $600 bonus for not working.

01:17:29.000 That's exactly what's happening. 0.99

01:17:30.000 That's like kicking them in the balls. 0.99

01:17:31.000 Being like, you work for less! 0.99

01:17:33.000 We are going to watch TV and play video games for the next two months and get extra money to do it.

01:17:38.000 Yeah, that's nice.

01:17:40.000 The extra money thing is part of the problem.

01:17:42.000 But either way, could you imagine living in a society where you had a surf class that had to do the labor while you didn't?

01:17:47.000 It's like the Hunger Games.

01:17:49.000 Yeah, it does feel like it.

01:17:50.000 I understand it's kind of honorable.

01:17:51.000 We're like, we're going to have UBI and we're going to get to that point where everybody is free.

01:17:55.000 Never going to happen, bro.

01:17:57.000 They're all heroes for working.

01:17:59.000 Good job, heroes.

01:17:59.000 I'm going to go back to watching my YouTube videos.

01:18:01.000 And we're going to pay them less.

01:18:02.000 Here's the best part.

01:18:04.000 You guys ready for this?

01:18:05.000 And then we should definitely take super chats.

01:18:06.000 While they're advocating for UBI in America, they ignore every other country.

01:18:11.000 So I'll give you this example.

01:18:13.000 Let's say America right now enacted UBI.

01:18:16.000 Everyone in this country got $2,000 a month.

01:18:19.000 Yeah.

01:18:19.000 So you know what happens?

01:18:21.000 This, you know, SJW type whatever is all like, this is the money I'm owed.

01:18:26.000 And they order a Samsung or an Apple product off the internet.

01:18:30.000 And they give that sweet, sweet money to Apple.

01:18:33.000 Then Apple takes that money, counts it, smiles, and then presses the button at the Foxconn factory

01:18:38.000 where people on the roofs are walking off and mass committing suicide

01:18:40.000 because they're basically slaves crammed in boxes.

01:18:43.000 You can have your UBI, and the things you buy will come from countries that basically treat people

01:18:48.000 like slaves.

01:18:49.000 When we got to get the raw materials for the products you consume in America as a wealthy country, sure, we're a wealthy nation.

01:18:56.000 We can spread the wealth all around to each and every one of you.

01:18:58.000 And 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.

01:19:06.000 I watched a documentary about dudes mining sulfur and their teeth fall out of their mouth.

01:19:09.000 They're like 26.

01:19:09.000 It's crazy.

01:19:11.000 They jam rags in their mouths because we don't want to do it.

01:19:13.000 So these people who are like, it's only fair that we get money.

01:19:16.000 It's like, well, what about the people in these countries that are like enslaved?

01:19:20.000 Yeah, 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.

01:19:34.000 That, to them, is okay.

01:19:35.000 And that exposes everything about this fake ideology.

01:19:39.000 I shouldn't have to work in exchange for the money, and then when I get it, I don't care if other people in the Foxconn labs are enslaved.

01:19:47.000 I have a friend, and I was talking about this, and I said, I don't believe you genuinely want to fix the world the way you describe it.

01:19:54.000 I think what you really want to do is save your town, your friends, and your family.

01:19:59.000 And she was like, that's not true.

01:20:00.000 I'm here fighting for everybody.

01:20:01.000 I was like, that's no, it's not.

01:20:02.000 You've got a Samsung computer that's made at the Foxconn lab.

01:20:05.000 Those people are committing suicide in mass.

01:20:07.000 And she was like, they are?

01:20:10.000 And I'm like, you didn't even bother to read this.

01:20:12.000 You don't know about it.

01:20:12.000 Listen, man, you tell me you want to fight for the world.

01:20:15.000 I hear you.

01:20:16.000 It's idealistic.

01:20:16.000 I get it.

01:20:18.000 But you've done no research on what's going on in the world.

01:20:20.000 You 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.

01:20:33.000 Yep.

01:20:34.000 Nah, man.

01:20:34.000 Have you ever seen The Good Place?

01:20:36.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:20:38.000 I mean, a little bit of spoilers.

01:20:39.000 It's kind of an old show, but basically everyone's going to hell.

01:20:44.000 There hasn't been someone to go to heaven for like hundreds and hundreds of years.

01:20:48.000 And they're like, when they find out, they like try to go to the judge and they're like, well, look what's happening.

01:20:53.000 You know, this person buys an apple, and that apple was from a country and whatever, and it was exploitation.

01:20:59.000 And the judge was like, well, they can do, they can search that information, can't they?

01:21:03.000 And they're not. 0.99

01:21:04.000 So whatever, let them go to hell. 1.00

01:21:05.000 And it's like, it's got a point. 1.00

01:21:08.000 That's exactly it.

01:21:09.000 Look, I get it, man.

01:21:10.000 You can improve things in your own country.

01:21:12.000 But it's funny to me that, like, I'm fully accepting of all this stuff.

01:21:16.000 Like, I get it.

01:21:16.000 And that's part of what gives me my, you know, worldview.

01:21:20.000 Like this thing right here.

01:21:21.000 What is this thing?

01:21:22.000 This is the thing we use to spin the UFO.

01:21:24.000 It's an air duster.

01:21:25.000 I'm sure we'll use it in a little bit.

01:21:26.000 I bet this thing is made in China.

01:21:28.000 Of course it is.

01:21:29.000 And it's probably made by some dude who's wearing, you know, cargo shorts covered in oil and dirt in his bare feet.

01:21:34.000 And he's assembling things with like a little handy screwdriver.

01:21:37.000 And he gets paid like a dollar a day.

01:21:39.000 And then we get to have our cheap products.

01:21:42.000 Maybe we should be more conscious.

01:21:43.000 I think, you know, the polls have shown most people don't want to buy stuff made from China anymore.

01:21:47.000 It's a good thing.

01:21:48.000 On that note, I've been saying, like, let's bring it back to America. 0.52

01:21:51.000 And someone argued it to me, and they were saying about, well, the minimum wage, products would be more expensive.

01:21:59.000 And I said, good.

01:22:00.000 That'll stop this fast... I use fast fashion because it's pretty much across the board of everything.

01:22:06.000 Everything is cheap.

01:22:08.000 We need to bring it back to having quality products.

01:22:10.000 I've had the same phone for four years.

01:22:13.000 I don't plan on getting a new phone.

01:22:15.000 I don't need to get a new phone.

01:22:16.000 This phone is great.

01:22:17.000 It works for me.

01:22:17.000 Don't update it.

01:22:18.000 I'm certainly not... Well, actually, I could because it doesn't include the new contact trace and stuff.

01:22:24.000 What?

01:22:24.000 No, no, no.

01:22:24.000 It does?

01:22:25.000 It'll slow the phone down so you can't use it anymore.

01:22:26.000 I thought that was illegal.

01:22:27.000 Apple doesn't.

01:22:28.000 I think they still do that.

01:22:29.000 No, they got sued for it, didn't they?

01:22:31.000 Yeah.

01:22:32.000 That's a story I heard.

01:22:33.000 Well, either way, regardless, it's like if we make quality products that last a long

01:22:38.000 time, we can spend more money because we're not replacing it every year.

01:22:42.000 We're not having to replace it.

01:22:44.000 It just lasts.

01:22:45.000 And then we can even fix it, you know?

01:22:48.000 I don't understand how that doesn't come into play when people are talking about American-made

01:22:52.000 It's like, I have a friend who made a new clothing company.

01:22:56.000 It's called 1620.

01:22:57.000 I just ordered some awesome product.

01:22:59.000 They don't endorse this or anything.

01:23:00.000 I'm just giving them a shout out.

01:23:02.000 It's guaranteed for life.

01:23:04.000 Get a pair of pants.

01:23:06.000 If it falls apart, send it to them.

01:23:08.000 They'll fix them or send you a new pair.

01:23:10.000 It's like, that's what I'm talking about.

01:23:12.000 They're a little expensive, but it's worth it because I've been wearing the same clothes.

01:23:16.000 I wear the same clothes.

01:23:17.000 I don't need new clothes.

01:23:19.000 Once my clothes fall apart, I'll get new clothes.

01:23:22.000 There's a mentality thing that needs to change.

01:23:25.000 I just, I guess one of the challenges, you can't get past evil people.

01:23:29.000 Like they will exist.

01:23:31.000 They will exist, they will exploit.

01:23:33.000 And 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.

01:23:41.000 Those are fake.

01:23:42.000 Really?

01:23:42.000 They're meant, they're fake hats specifically made to lie about the president.

01:23:46.000 Makes sense.

01:23:47.000 Of course Trump makes his stuff in America, dude.

01:23:51.000 Some news outlet did a tour of the Trump hat factory and it's like, all the MAGA hats, all the Trump hats, that's the smear. 0.97

01:23:57.000 These people are evil.

01:23:58.000 They do it because they want quick access to power.

01:24:01.000 Anybody who comes to you and says, I should be able to have all of your resources but not do work for it, question this person.

01:24:06.000 Or to cancel the people in power that are challenging their way.

01:24:10.000 That's the way to get the power.

01:24:11.000 I'll tell you one quick story, and then we'll jump to the Super Chats.

01:24:13.000 Because I was down at Occupy Wall Street, and I had some people tell me this.

01:24:17.000 The goal was to flip the pyramid.

01:24:19.000 You know the pyramid?

01:24:20.000 Yeah.

01:24:20.000 You got the working class, you got the merchant class, you got the bourgeoisie, whatever.

01:24:24.000 They said, we're going to flip it over.

01:24:25.000 And 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? 0.84

01:24:34.000 Or 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? 0.87

01:24:44.000 Right?

01:24:45.000 Basically, you're right.

01:24:46.000 And they said, that's exactly it.

01:24:48.000 They 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.

01:24:55.000 Yeah.

01:24:55.000 They expected it to flip over and then all the bricks tumble down and then it becomes a jagged, broken heap with them on top.

01:25:01.000 What's that saying?

01:25:02.000 You got to break a few eggs?

01:25:04.000 Well, it's like, yeah, you have a perfect pyramid.

01:25:07.000 It's designed, it's very pretty, and there's some things missing and it's kind of gross.

01:25:10.000 They want to destroy everything that meant they would be the ones in power.

01:25:14.000 And then everyone else falls down to the bottom again.

01:25:16.000 All I can think of is your song, The Will of the People.

01:25:19.000 Exactly.

01:25:19.000 It'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.

01:25:27.000 It's the same thing.

01:25:29.000 That's all it is.

01:25:31.000 This is how you get civil war. 0.52

01:25:32.000 When you have these Karens on Facebook inundated with all this intersectionality garbage, they're convinced this worldview is true and just.

01:25:40.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.86

01:25:41.000 And then they body snatch you.

01:25:45.000 And then they attack you, they get violent, and they've done it.

01:25:48.000 So now when you have people screeching and reading about not wearing a mask, it's like, dude, I get it.

01:25:53.000 You're like, I have no problem wearing a mask. 0.87

01:25:55.000 But this video is ridiculous. 0.98

01:25:57.000 Like, what made these people go insane? 0.99

01:25:58.000 If someone's not wearing a mask, walk away?

01:25:59.000 Yeah.

01:26:01.000 Don't get in his face and yell at him.

01:26:03.000 Dude, it's a mob mentality.

01:26:06.000 The masks are supposed to prevent, you know, close proximity spit or whatever.

01:26:12.000 You're getting in their face.

01:26:13.000 You're increasing your chance.

01:26:15.000 If they have something or you have some, you're increasing the chances of it spreading. 0.92

01:26:19.000 It's ridiculous.

01:26:19.000 Like the people who rushed full speed into the stores to grab the toilet paper when a pandemic was breaking out.

01:26:23.000 Fighting, slapping each other.

01:26:24.000 What are you doing?

01:26:25.000 No, it's a pandemic!

01:26:26.000 Here's the best part. 1.00

01:26:28.000 The last and last part, which I brought up in superchats, is these same people saying, I can't believe how dumb these people are. 0.85

01:26:35.000 Someone tweeted, you're really going to risk everyone's life so you can go to Taco Bell?

01:26:39.000 I'm like, I saw that tweet, I kid you not, and I was like, oh no.

01:26:42.000 Okay, dude, first, Taco Bell never closed.

01:26:46.000 Taco Bell's running drive-thrus.

01:26:48.000 No one's risking anything by going to Taco Bell.

01:26:51.000 Second of all, you didn't even read any of the science that's come out so far.

01:26:55.000 That 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.

01:27:08.000 Yet they still don't read a single thing!

01:27:11.000 And they're like, we're the smart ones!

01:27:13.000 Emotions.

01:27:14.000 Yep.

01:27:14.000 My tribe is correct.

01:27:16.000 We've done no research.

01:27:17.000 Let me stop you there.

01:27:18.000 I don't need to actually read any of this research, these studies, or these newspapers, because I know what's best.

01:27:24.000 You, on the other hand, refuse to accept science.

01:27:26.000 That's a good Karen.

01:27:27.000 It's like, oh my god, dude, listen.

01:27:29.000 Karen Poole.

01:27:30.000 And so I think conservatives have been really lucky that they've fallen on the right side of this more often than not.

01:27:36.000 And it's partly due, I think, to the fact that conservative media is more critical and analytical.

01:27:41.000 But you certainly have a lot of people on the right who don't want to read either.

01:27:43.000 It just so happens that like everybody was, you know, when it came to Russiagate, it was all tribalism. 0.82

01:27:49.000 You 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?

01:27:57.000 Yeah, we're finding out that it's not even true. 0.73

01:27:59.000 And even still, they bring it up.

01:28:01.000 Right.

01:28:02.000 It's been debunked.

01:28:03.000 It's been proven, like, endlessly.

01:28:05.000 And they still use it.

01:28:06.000 Like, Russia, Russiagate.

01:28:08.000 And it's like, what?

01:28:09.000 What are you?

01:28:10.000 Oh, you're living in a hole.

01:28:11.000 Right.

01:28:12.000 Right.

01:28:12.000 SJW hole.

01:28:13.000 OK.

01:28:13.000 Go and stay there.

01:28:14.000 Well, they're the resistance.

01:28:15.000 OK.

01:28:16.000 There's one really funny point.

01:28:17.000 Someone tweeted.

01:28:18.000 They 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?

01:28:25.000 That's some resistance you got there.

01:28:27.000 Right.

01:28:28.000 Yeah, man.

01:28:29.000 It'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.

01:28:44.000 No amount of proof.

01:28:45.000 And you know what it is?

01:28:47.000 There really are grifters.

01:28:49.000 I'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?

01:28:59.000 Hm.

01:29:00.000 You think that's true?

01:29:00.000 You think that's what's happening?

01:29:02.000 Absolutely.

01:29:03.000 I know some people who are lying about everything.

01:29:04.000 You think it's just to fit in to their surrounding?

01:29:07.000 Money.

01:29:07.000 Money, money, money.

01:29:08.000 They accuse me of the same thing.

01:29:09.000 They say, Tim only has his opinions.

01:29:11.000 The funniest thing to me is when they say that I used to be lefty and then became right-wing.

01:29:16.000 I'm like, bro.

01:29:17.000 You're not right-wing.

01:29:18.000 I was at Occupy Wall Street, and in 2011, I said to them, you shouldn't be making decisions based on race.

01:29:24.000 In 2011.

01:29:26.000 It's 2020.

01:29:26.000 You shouldn't be making decisions based on race.

01:29:29.000 Your words, people.

01:29:30.000 Your words.

01:29:30.000 No, no, no, no.

01:29:31.000 No, no, I know, but that's the thing.

01:29:34.000 Back in 2011, that's what you were saying.

01:29:36.000 When I worked for Fusion, I made some points about, like, journalism.

01:29:41.000 And it was like stuffing and dealing with Gamergate and men's rights.

01:29:45.000 And my approach was we should interview, you know, the activists on both, you know, both sides of the issue.

01:29:51.000 And they were like, that's white supremacy.

01:29:53.000 And 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.

01:30:02.000 And I'm like, bro, I didn't.

01:30:03.000 Yeah, it's funny.

01:30:04.000 It's like white people. 0.83

01:30:05.000 Yeah.

01:30:06.000 Try again. 0.76

01:30:07.000 White people telling the mixie over here. 1.00

01:30:10.000 Mixie. 0.75

01:30:10.000 And that's what's funny to me. 0.75

01:30:12.000 It's like, bro, you guys are so racist, dude. 0.95

01:30:14.000 I'm not even here.

01:30:14.000 You know, they tell me I changed and I'm like, sorry, dude.

01:30:18.000 Like, 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.

01:30:29.000 Anyway, there's the whole hour and a half rant for whatever reason.

01:30:32.000 We're going to read Super Chats.

01:30:34.000 You know, before we do, I just want to give a shout out to everyone in the service to our country.

01:30:39.000 I mean, today is Memorial Day after all.

01:30:41.000 I mean, you know, my brother's in the service.

01:30:44.000 He's in the Marines.

01:30:45.000 And we have so many people have died for us and our country.

01:30:50.000 And this is not a partisan issue.

01:30:51.000 I don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican, You know if you if you are against the wars that they're

01:30:56.000 fighting they're still out there fighting and dying for us So I just want to give mad respect to all those people that

01:31:04.000 are currently fighting for us have fought for us in the past that are still with us have

01:31:09.000 died for us and thank you because Everyone tries to make it you know something other than

01:31:15.000 what it is And I don't care if you agree with the wars or not, you're still out there fighting for us.

01:31:20.000 I really appreciate you, so thank you.

01:31:22.000 Amen.

01:31:22.000 You're here.

01:31:23.000 For me, like, one of the biggest factors for a president is that they've served.

01:31:27.000 Straight up.

01:31:28.000 It's one of the reasons I like Tulsi Gabbard, plus, you know, her anti-war stance, anti-regime change war stuff. 0.71

01:31:32.000 Yeah, half the time, it doesn't look like Trump enjoys his job, even.

01:31:36.000 But he's doing it, you know?

01:31:37.000 He has golf a lot.

01:31:39.000 Yeah, yeah, I don't care.

01:31:40.000 How dare he golf?

01:31:42.000 First time in three months this time.

01:31:44.000 Oh, well, that's a good point.

01:31:45.000 Since February, right?

01:31:47.000 I'm so over like every complaint every time. 0.99

01:31:50.000 It's like, shut up. 0.99

01:31:51.000 Unless you're gonna come to me and say Trump, you know, was like boiling babies or something. 1.00

01:31:55.000 I'm not interested.

01:31:56.000 Oh, what's that?

01:31:56.000 You said you'd vote for Joe Biden, even if he did.

01:31:58.000 Do you see that article?

01:32:00.000 Which one?

01:32:00.000 The woman who said she'd vote for Joe Biden, even if he was boiling babies and eating them.

01:32:04.000 I don't understand it.

01:32:06.000 Clearly, Biden can do no wrong and Trump can only do wrong.

01:32:10.000 I'm out.

01:32:12.000 You're not being honest.

01:32:13.000 Alright, we gotta read some of these superchats now.

01:32:15.000 Yeah, thanks everybody.

01:32:16.000 I.B.

01:32:17.000 Rippetum says, I've been diagnosed with Rancid-19, the world's most dangerous fart disease.

01:32:21.000 Cuomo will have me arrested if I fart within six feet of another person.

01:32:24.000 Well, that's understandable.

01:32:25.000 Careful, careful I.B.

01:32:27.000 Carson Snejcik says, are you going to talk about the escalating tension in Kashmir?

01:32:32.000 Even China is getting involved.

01:32:34.000 Looks like conflict is looming.

01:32:35.000 I will check that out.

01:32:37.000 Kyle Buchanan says, y'all three have a wonderful Memorial Day and remember why we celebrate it.

01:32:41.000 Star Trek or Halo to be the future of humanity.

01:32:43.000 Lydia, stay beautiful.

01:32:44.000 Oh, thank you.

01:32:45.000 David Caballero says, hey guys, what are your thoughts on Eurovision?

01:32:49.000 I had the Icelandic song, Think About Things, stuck in my head all weekend.

01:32:53.000 Eurovision is not a thing in the States.

01:32:55.000 I don't know if that is.

01:32:56.000 It's like American Idol.

01:32:57.000 I know all about it because I've actually lived in Sweden periodically over the past couple years, so I've been privy to it.

01:33:05.000 And there's some good music that comes out of it.

01:33:07.000 There was that metal band, I think from Poland or something, that did awesome, or maybe, I don't know if it's...

01:33:13.000 Where they were from, but they won a few years back and it was like some awesome metal music.

01:33:19.000 It's crazy.

01:33:19.000 There's no genre that does better.

01:33:22.000 It's always the musicians that are good.

01:33:25.000 I haven't seen anything.

01:33:26.000 This must be some of the new Eurovision stuff that's going on right now.

01:33:29.000 I don't know anything about it, but I'll check it out.

01:33:32.000 Think About Things.

01:33:33.000 Is that the name of the song there?

01:33:34.000 Yeah, I'll check it out.

01:33:35.000 Cool.

01:33:36.000 Ben Ritter says, have you had a chance to try Election Year Knockout?

01:33:39.000 A Steam version is coming soon too.

01:33:41.000 Unfortunately, I have not, but we will try.

01:33:45.000 I mean, you should play it.

01:33:46.000 I work nonstop.

01:33:47.000 No, I don't know.

01:33:48.000 I just haven't had a chance.

01:33:49.000 Mr. Self-Aware, thanks for becoming a member.

01:33:51.000 Thank you.

01:33:52.000 Supabambam says, did you see that Kroger is demanding associates to pay back hazard pay and is sending it to collections and everything?

01:33:58.000 I saw that!

01:33:59.000 That's messed up.

01:34:00.000 Talk about, like, sacrificing all goodwill you may have had for anything.

01:34:04.000 Yeah, I resected that for a while.

01:34:06.000 Yikes, yikes.

01:34:08.000 Samuel 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.

01:34:15.000 Move on, bro.

01:34:16.000 I did move on.

01:34:17.000 That's the point.

01:34:18.000 I think it was like two months ago.

01:34:19.000 I was like, that's it.

01:34:20.000 I'm done.

01:34:21.000 I know.

01:34:22.000 It's like being like in the friend zone.

01:34:24.000 They 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.

01:34:30.000 They're keeping you just in case.

01:34:33.000 And I realized, you know what?

01:34:35.000 This relationship wasn't meant to be.

01:34:37.000 Because 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.

01:34:44.000 Podcastage says, thanks for continuing to sling, sling that tent.

01:34:48.000 Off topic question, favorite band and album from that band?

01:34:51.000 Muse, definitely.

01:34:52.000 And I don't know if I have a favorite album from them because I think we're beyond the era of albums for the most part, right?

01:34:58.000 No, I refuse to believe that.

01:35:00.000 I love a really good album.

01:35:01.000 Fear Inoculum, for example.

01:35:03.000 Incredible album.

01:35:05.000 It fits tools like, you know, I just posted about this the other day.

01:35:10.000 It's such a good album from start to finish.

01:35:12.000 It feels like a tool album.

01:35:14.000 It didn't feel like something new and different.

01:35:16.000 It felt like I had been listening to this music for a long time.

01:35:19.000 Now, I'm not saying that that's what I would pick, but man, that's the first thing that came to my mind, so I'll just go with that.

01:35:24.000 What are these weird little red things? 0.67

01:35:26.000 Little bugs.

01:35:27.000 What?

01:35:28.000 They're bugs?

01:35:29.000 What?

01:35:29.000 Oh, gosh.

01:35:31.000 I don't see them.

01:35:31.000 Are you sure they're there?

01:35:32.000 Are you just seeing things?

01:35:34.000 I've finished them off.

01:35:36.000 They came out of the thing from China? 0.98

01:35:42.000 Drunk Shovel says, stuck working, I've had 8 customers in my shop in 8 hours.

01:35:47.000 Thanks for keeping me company, I'm bored to tears.

01:35:51.000 GoLeog says, Tim, perform a Hillary Trump debate but you do all the voices.

01:35:58.000 They staged a debate where they had a woman be Trump and a man be Hillary.

01:36:02.000 Interesting.

01:36:03.000 The argument was that Hillary only lost because she's a woman. 1.00

01:36:06.000 So 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.

01:36:13.000 Interesting.

01:36:14.000 Guess what the audience thought?

01:36:14.000 Verbatim, like they just did the exact same... It was a scripted event.

01:36:18.000 The 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.

01:36:29.000 Wow.

01:36:30.000 Yep.

01:36:30.000 So it really was, like, I mean, like the way Hillary acted was elitist, snooty, like... Acted?

01:36:36.000 Past tense?

01:36:36.000 Continues to act?

01:36:37.000 Right.

01:36:37.000 Well, thankfully we don't have to see her.

01:36:39.000 Yeah, sorry, no, no, no.

01:36:40.000 Oh, she's making a scene? 1.00

01:36:41.000 For some reason, she keeps being, uh, poking her head on the scene nowadays.

01:36:46.000 Here's what I told him.

01:36:46.000 I wonder why.

01:36:47.000 We were hanging out with Luke, and I told him here's what's gonna happen.

01:36:50.000 Joe Biden's gonna pick Hillary, then he's gonna win, and then they're gonna, I just imagine the scene

01:36:57.000 where it's like Biden's in a wheelchair with his head drooped down,

01:37:00.000 and he's got a blanket over his lap, and there's like a Secret Service guy,

01:37:03.000 and he wheels him into the sunroom, where he puts him up against a window,

01:37:05.000 it's like a bookshelf, and the sun is just beaming down on sleepy Joe, and he's asleep,

01:37:09.000 and then Hillary comes out of the shadows of the room, and she looks at the security guard,

01:37:14.000 starts walking past him like this, and she goes, and just walks past him,

01:37:17.000 and then the security guard pulls up, put on gloves, and then he pulls out a grout wire,

01:37:22.000 and that's just the end of it.

01:37:24.000 President Hillary.

01:37:25.000 Very visual.

01:37:26.000 Thank you for that.

01:37:27.000 I should make short films.

01:37:28.000 I imagine her just like appearing out of the shadows.

01:37:31.000 Right. 0.90

01:37:32.000 And just like cutting his throat and then like going back into the shadows. 0.98

01:37:35.000 She's wearing gloves. 0.98

01:37:36.000 Yes.

01:37:36.000 She's prepared.

01:37:37.000 No, but I like the idea of her looking at the Secret Service guy and going.

01:37:41.000 Yep.

01:37:41.000 Like making a nasty scowl and like.

01:37:42.000 Frightening.

01:37:44.000 And then it's like, and then, and then like the next scene is like a newspaper and it says, you know, Biden dies of old age.

01:37:49.000 President Hillary, first real president.

01:37:52.000 I don't think it's actually going to happen, though.

01:37:54.000 I think he's going to pick Klobuchar or something.

01:37:56.000 Calby Cannon says, my shirt just showed up.

01:37:57.000 Harumph! 1.00

01:37:58.000 Excellent.

01:37:59.000 Nice.

01:37:59.000 Yes, send me pictures.

01:38:01.000 Robofan says, what do you think about Halo MCC on PC?

01:38:04.000 Also, China's taking advantage of coronavirus to bring Hong Kong into the fold. 0.96

01:38:08.000 I don't know about Halo.

01:38:09.000 I don't know much about the whole Hong Kong thing, but I was reading a little bit about it earlier.

01:38:14.000 What about Halo?

01:38:14.000 Do you know anything about Halo?

01:38:16.000 Not really.

01:38:16.000 I played Halo 1 on Xbox One, and it was an awesome game.

01:38:22.000 I played Destiny.

01:38:23.000 That's a Bungie game.

01:38:24.000 China is trying to force Hong Kong, and it's creepy. 0.85

01:38:28.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

01:38:29.000 China's infiltrating and taking over, man. 0.96

01:38:31.000 That's what they do.

01:38:33.000 Fred Fredfurter says, it is 8 p.m.

01:38:36.000 on a federal holiday.

01:38:38.000 Tim better be paying at least time and a half.

01:38:40.000 Yep.

01:38:41.000 All right.

01:38:41.000 Noted.

01:38:42.000 Noted.

01:38:42.000 Duly noted.

01:38:44.000 Ekege says, Tim and crew are the only thing keeping me sane while I wait to ship out to Navy boot camp.

01:38:49.000 Keep up the good work.

01:38:50.000 Right on.

01:38:50.000 We will try.

01:38:50.000 That's hard work.

01:38:51.000 Thanks for your service.

01:38:52.000 Eric Heffelfinger.

01:38:55.000 Any plans to a 2020 election special?

01:38:57.000 I would love to see you three react to at least the last hour of the final numbers coming in.

01:39:02.000 I think we probably would be.

01:39:03.000 Yeah, that would be so good.

01:39:03.000 It's not a weekend, is it?

01:39:04.000 Maybe?

01:39:05.000 I'll look up what date is it?

01:39:06.000 Yeah, we'll see.

01:39:07.000 I don't know.

01:39:07.000 Yeah, we'll do that.

01:39:08.000 Yeah, we'll do that.

01:39:09.000 That sounds fun.

01:39:09.000 Hocticus says, I'm going to go camping this week and hang out in the woods.

01:39:13.000 Highly recommend.

01:39:13.000 Helps you unwind.

01:39:15.000 Definitely.

01:39:15.000 Sounds good.

01:39:16.000 Qwerty says, listening to you while at work right now makes it more bearable.

01:39:19.000 Appreciate it.

01:39:21.000 Kyle 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?

01:39:29.000 I don't know what's going to happen, but I think mail-in voting is a last-ditch Hail Mary to try and win.

01:39:35.000 They're changing the rules last minute.

01:39:36.000 I don't like it.

01:39:37.000 I agree with that.

01:39:38.000 I mean, look, if we're in an emergency, emergencies happen, then you should have a bill prepared for when emergencies happen.

01:39:44.000 Plan ahead, man.

01:39:45.000 Yeah.

01:39:46.000 PyraSynth.

01:39:47.000 I love both of your guys' music so much, I remastered the songs to listen in my car.

01:39:51.000 I can play music and would love to add guitar solos where appropriate.

01:39:53.000 I wanted to ask permission first.

01:39:54.000 Cheers.

01:39:56.000 I'll tell you what.

01:39:56.000 That's cool.

01:39:57.000 Whatever you want.

01:39:58.000 And then you can send it to actually follow Adam.

01:40:01.000 Yeah.

01:40:02.000 Give your Twitter.

01:40:02.000 What's your... Adam Kregler.

01:40:03.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:40:04.000 You can see it.

01:40:05.000 It's Adam Kregler.

01:40:06.000 A-D-A-M-C-R-I-G-L-E-R. 1.00

01:40:08.000 And you can hit me up.

01:40:10.000 Send him whatever on Twitter.

01:40:11.000 Make a link or something.

01:40:13.000 You can follow me at TimCast as well.

01:40:14.000 On YouTube also.

01:40:15.000 But if you tweet at me like, hey, here's this video I did.

01:40:20.000 Or this song that I mastered.

01:40:22.000 That'd be cool.

01:40:23.000 And you can also follow Sour Patch Lids.

01:40:25.000 Yes, you can.

01:40:26.000 Here, hold on.

01:40:26.000 Wait.

01:40:26.000 This is me.

01:40:28.000 Yeah.

01:40:28.000 With an L-Y-D-S.

01:40:30.000 Yep, that's my name.

01:40:30.000 And also, thank you so much.

01:40:32.000 That's really great.

01:40:33.000 That's awesome, yeah.

01:40:33.000 It's fun hearing feedback and I really appreciate it.

01:40:36.000 I love playing music for people who enjoy it and that makes it so much better.

01:40:41.000 We'll play more on Friday.

01:40:42.000 And smash that like button!

01:40:44.000 Just smash it! 0.90

01:40:45.000 Smash that like button.

01:40:47.000 Let's try and get to 50 billion likes.

01:40:49.000 Oh yeah.

01:40:50.000 50 billion or bust.

01:40:51.000 50 billion.

01:40:52.000 That means we need people to click it more than once.

01:40:54.000 And to come back from the dead.

01:40:55.000 Yeah, make new accounts.

01:40:56.000 Jack Daw says, if you ever do decide to vote for Trump, please consider not telling us.

01:41:00.000 I 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.

01:41:06.000 But it's silly to make believe.

01:41:09.000 I'm not going to do that, right?

01:41:10.000 So 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.

01:41:17.000 So what am I going to do?

01:41:19.000 If I vote for Trump, I'll say I voted for Trump.

01:41:21.000 But we'll see how things play out.

01:41:23.000 Cult says, the Nephilim are returning. 0.98

01:41:25.000 Don't let them deceive you, Tim.

01:41:26.000 I won't.

01:41:28.000 Talbot says, y'all see Beijing finally made open and full claim over all Hong Kong rights, courts, and markets?

01:41:33.000 Woo-hoo-hoo! 1.00

01:41:34.000 It's gonna get spicy.

01:41:35.000 Yeah, it is.

01:41:35.000 It's gonna get spicy when they go for Taiwan.

01:41:37.000 That's gonna get nuts.

01:41:38.000 That's the next move.

01:41:39.000 They probably need Hong Kong because they want to control more of the coast.

01:41:42.000 Makes sense.

01:41:42.000 Before they can go to Taiwan.

01:41:44.000 Cliff says, I love your jamming Friday.

01:41:45.000 Crowder has Mug Club.

01:41:46.000 You and Adam should put out an EP or album and make Band Club.

01:41:50.000 Yeah, we could.

01:41:50.000 That'd be fun, yeah.

01:41:50.000 We're working on it.

01:41:51.000 It'd be awesome.

01:41:51.000 Skateboards, too.

01:41:53.000 IB Rippenham says, worst censorship, Fartberg or Tudor?

01:41:56.000 Both! 0.92

01:41:58.000 Oh man, I just had a very bad idea of what Tudor would be.

01:42:01.000 It's just people.

01:42:02.000 Moving on!

01:42:03.000 It's following.

01:42:04.000 You follow people and they just fart.

01:42:06.000 Oh no.

01:42:07.000 I think Ivy Rippon would be totally down. 1.00

01:42:09.000 Yeah, he'd run that thing.

01:42:11.000 David says, always loved economics, but Tim, you got me into politics.

01:42:14.000 Move to Syracuse.

01:42:15.000 Vegan pizza on me, Adam.

01:42:16.000 Thank you.

01:42:16.000 Syracuse is fun.

01:42:17.000 I've been there before.

01:42:18.000 It's a lot of work.

01:42:19.000 And he does it every day.

01:42:20.000 Get a system.

01:42:20.000 Tim, you inspired me to make my own channel, Only Real Cloud.

01:42:23.000 I tried making daily videos, but it's so much work.

01:42:26.000 I make vids most weekdays.

01:42:27.000 Much respect for your work ethic, and thanks for the inspiration.

01:42:30.000 Hey, no problem.

01:42:31.000 I just do my thing.

01:42:32.000 It's a lot of work, and he does it every day.

01:42:33.000 Get a system.

01:42:34.000 I have two half days off. 0.99

01:42:35.000 You're a beast, dude. 0.97

01:42:36.000 Yeah. 0.98

01:42:37.000 Didactics and David Lopez says, went to Venice Beach yesterday.

01:42:41.000 Crowds of people, many with no mask.

01:42:43.000 Cops minding their own business with their masks lowered.

01:42:46.000 Kids digging the skate park out of the sand.

01:42:48.000 Most of it dug out.

01:42:49.000 Awesome.

01:42:50.000 Good to hear.

01:42:50.000 Skateboarders clean everything.

01:42:52.000 That's so true.

01:42:53.000 So I've been skateboarding most of my life.

01:42:55.000 We would have mops and rakes and shovels and everything.

01:42:58.000 You have to, right?

01:43:00.000 Yeah.

01:43:00.000 If you drove a half an hour to skate like this famous spot and there was dirt or something, you wouldn't just go home.

01:43:05.000 You'd be like, all right, let's clean it up.

01:43:07.000 Yep.

01:43:08.000 Someone, you get like a pump water thing.

01:43:09.000 That's actually interesting.

01:43:10.000 I lived in New York and I went to many different skate parks in New York and there is trash everywhere in New York.

01:43:16.000 Everywhere you go, there's trash.

01:43:17.000 You get to the skate park.

01:43:19.000 Oh, you get to the skate park.

01:43:20.000 It's clean.

01:43:21.000 Yup.

01:43:21.000 It's clean.

01:43:22.000 They take the trash, they throw it away.

01:43:23.000 I mean, it's like their, their holy ground, essentially.

01:43:26.000 They care about it.

01:43:29.000 I've helped clear drains at, like, flooded parks.

01:43:33.000 It's like, well, we're here, now what do we do?

01:43:34.000 Everything's under a foot of water.

01:43:36.000 It's like, alright, who wants to sacrifice it and go to the drain and start digging up the leaves?

01:43:40.000 It's fun.

01:43:41.000 And then you go and you have to, like, pull the leaves out, and the water's draining, and then we have squeegees.

01:43:45.000 And then your respect level bar grows, though.

01:43:48.000 But it's for you, it's not for anybody else.

01:43:50.000 True.

01:43:51.000 It's like, I'm here, I wanna skate, the only way that's gonna happen is if I clean this place up.

01:43:55.000 I'm gonna make it happen.

01:43:56.000 That's what I'm saying, skateboarding.

01:43:57.000 Well, the other day, you did it for me, though.

01:44:00.000 It was rainy.

01:44:01.000 Oh, air blowing the... You were in skating, you were like, I'm not skating.

01:44:03.000 I'm like, I wanna skate.

01:44:04.000 And you were like, I got you.

01:44:05.000 We're gonna dispel this myth.

01:44:07.000 There'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.

01:44:16.000 Yeah, 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.

01:44:20.000 You can hear the pure joy in my laugh of me landing that trick.

01:44:25.000 Because 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.

01:44:36.000 And it was first try.

01:44:37.000 You're like, let me film it.

01:44:38.000 I'm like, okay.

01:44:38.000 Yeah, I got down, I was sitting down, I went wide mode, and you did it first try.

01:44:42.000 It was awesome.

01:44:42.000 And then you left because you did it first try.

01:44:43.000 I know, yeah.

01:44:44.000 And people were saying I was laughing.

01:44:45.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:44:46.000 You know why I take offense to that?

01:44:48.000 Because I'm a professional cameraman, alright?

01:44:50.000 I know full well.

01:44:52.000 One 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.

01:45:00.000 It's so weird.

01:45:00.000 It's like 14 year old skate videos.

01:45:02.000 And one of them, I think I did a backside tail slide over this gap.

01:45:07.000 So there's like a ledge and there's grass.

01:45:08.000 So you have to slide on top of the ledge to come off.

01:45:10.000 And the cameraman starts laughing.

01:45:12.000 He's like, yeah, what?

01:45:13.000 I'm like, oh, you ruined it with music.

01:45:16.000 What are you doing?

01:45:17.000 Let it let it land and roll away first before you laugh.

01:45:20.000 You can laugh.

01:45:21.000 You can high five with a camera person is just a tripod.

01:45:23.000 Yeah, I mean, let's read some more.

01:45:25.000 That's nice.

01:45:26.000 Max says you should name an award after Jussie Smollett.

01:45:30.000 That's like the opposite of what it should be named after.

01:45:35.000 Kaye Sack says, Hey guys, been following your channel for a couple of years now.

01:45:38.000 Great work.

01:45:38.000 I wonder how the hospitality industry is going to look once all this blows over.

01:45:42.000 Keep up the great work.

01:45:42.000 Hopefully it doesn't die.

01:45:43.000 Oh, here we go.

01:45:44.000 Lars and Rune says, Vermin Supreme 2020.

01:45:46.000 Oh yeah.

01:45:47.000 Is he running again?

01:45:48.000 A legit, a legit campaign I heard.

01:45:51.000 Really?

01:45:51.000 Oh wait, he's actually going to go this time.

01:45:53.000 He's going to do a real campaign.

01:45:55.000 Yep.

01:45:56.000 He's a cool dude.

01:45:57.000 He's a libertarian.

01:45:57.000 He's really smart, too.

01:45:58.000 He's really smart.

01:45:59.000 I've heard some of his more serious talks, and I'm like, oh, all right, vermin!

01:46:04.000 He got me in trouble once because we were hanging out at this dude's apartment in LA, and he was in a chair.

01:46:09.000 And the dude's, what is he, like 60?

01:46:10.000 He's got the boot on his head and everything, and he was spinning around in the chair going like, whee!

01:46:14.000 And it's like 3 in the morning, and the people downstairs are like, shut up!

01:46:18.000 And he was like, what are you doing?

01:46:20.000 Quiet!

01:46:20.000 Vermin!

01:46:21.000 What are you doing?

01:46:21.000 Vermin's awesome.

01:46:22.000 He's Vermin Supreme.

01:46:23.000 I love it.

01:46:24.000 Burra Streaming says, my great uncle died at the Battle of the Bulge.

01:46:27.000 Oh, much respect.

01:46:29.000 TheRedBikeMaster says, having a rough day. 0.54

01:46:31.000 You guys are keeping me company.

01:46:32.000 Thanks.

01:46:32.000 No problemo.

01:46:33.000 Good to be here for you.

01:46:34.000 DarkRanji says, Welp boys and girl, I'm off tomorrow to someone, uh, off tomorrow to someone got infected R.I.P.

01:46:43.000 Oh, bummer.

01:46:43.000 Did you get infected?

01:46:44.000 Or is that what?

01:46:45.000 I'm not sure what he's saying. 0.99

01:46:46.000 That sucks. 0.94

01:46:47.000 Infection's bad. 0.98

01:46:48.000 DudeGuyMcPant says, yo, weapons designer and O1 firearms dealer.

01:46:51.000 Would like to chat about weapons sometime.

01:46:53.000 Hit me up if you want to, if you want me to share my experience.

01:46:56.000 Send everything to, uh, Mr. Adam Krigler.

01:46:58.000 Yeah, hit me up, hit me up.

01:46:59.000 That's the pathway towards, you know.

01:47:02.000 Timothy.

01:47:02.000 Well, no, just to the show in general.

01:47:04.000 Tip cast, yeah.

01:47:05.000 Jack Daw says, J.B.

01:47:06.000 and Willen participant.

01:47:09.000 Alright.

01:47:10.000 What is that, 25 aid?

01:47:11.000 I can't, sorry.

01:47:13.000 David says, I'm a vet, it's cause of my service, I'm against war.

01:47:16.000 Much respect.

01:47:17.000 Yep.

01:47:17.000 Right on.

01:47:18.000 Michelle Mybell says, I was so stoked to see the marina owner would not release Governor Whitmer's husband's boat.

01:47:23.000 That was hilarious.

01:47:24.000 Oh, that's awesome.

01:47:24.000 Thanking all those that have served and have died for our freedom.

01:47:27.000 Amen.

01:47:27.000 Hear, hear.

01:47:28.000 That's ultimate Karen-ing.

01:47:29.000 We're gonna lock everybody down, but I get my boat first.

01:47:31.000 No, sorry dude, back of the line.

01:47:33.000 That's why America's great, because it's like, I don't care if you're a noble, get out of here.

01:47:37.000 Yeah.

01:47:37.000 They're not happy about it.

01:47:38.000 Appreciate it.

01:47:39.000 Grim Soul Banisher says, Armed Forces Day is for those that currently wear the uniform.

01:47:46.000 Veterans Day is for those that used to wear it.

01:47:47.000 Memorial Day is for those that never took it off.

01:47:49.000 RIP my Uncle Donnie.

01:47:51.000 1991 Desert Storm.

01:47:52.000 Much respect.

01:47:52.000 Much respect, yeah.

01:47:54.000 Here, here, Uncle Donnie.

01:47:56.000 Talbot says, also, I always appreciate love as a veteran, but Memorial Day is to honor the dead.

01:48:01.000 Honor those that gave all for we, who still stand.

01:48:05.000 100%.

01:48:06.000 Albi Dam says, are all of y'all roommates?

01:48:08.000 Technically, yes.

01:48:09.000 The pandemic really jammed up the plans for expansion.

01:48:12.000 So not only that, I mean, hey, it kind of revealed New Jersey was a bad idea in the first place.

01:48:17.000 So at least now I have the opportunity to find a building not in this state.

01:48:21.000 Harkes says, hello not Joe Rogan, not Jamie and soy Jesus.

01:48:25.000 That's me, not Jamie.

01:48:28.000 Kyle Harmon says, journalist award in the voice of South Park, the Timmer.

01:48:32.000 Yes.

01:48:33.000 Ooh, yeah.

01:48:34.000 Chaotic says, happy Memorial Day Beanie Crew.

01:48:36.000 Once again, I appreciate everything you guys do.

01:48:37.000 Off topic, do any of you enjoy any whiskeys?

01:48:40.000 Scotches?

01:48:41.000 I personally enjoy Lafraig and Highland Park.

01:48:43.000 Oh, I got your man right there.

01:48:45.000 A Lafraig is definitely one of my favorites.

01:48:47.000 This guy spoiled me here.

01:48:48.000 Well, hold on.

01:48:49.000 Go ahead.

01:48:49.000 We did an event out here, and Antifa threatened to burn the theater down.

01:48:53.000 And so, like, everything was up in the air.

01:48:56.000 We worked really, really hard, and eventually we were able to pull it off.

01:48:59.000 And so I went out, and I bought a Lafraig.

01:49:02.000 How do you say it?

01:49:02.000 Lafraig?

01:49:03.000 Lafraig.

01:49:04.000 25.

01:49:05.000 And I'm not a drinker.

01:49:07.000 I do not like drinking.

01:49:09.000 I thought it tasted like an ashtray.

01:49:12.000 I love that smoky flavor though.

01:49:14.000 Yeah.

01:49:14.000 Oh, it's so good.

01:49:16.000 But it's very expensive.

01:49:17.000 It was like $700.

01:49:18.000 Really good.

01:49:19.000 But it was this big event we put on.

01:49:20.000 It ended up being, I think, I think for me it was a net loss.

01:49:25.000 I'm not entirely sure.

01:49:26.000 That's about to shut off.

01:49:27.000 Is that not plugged in?

01:49:28.000 The camera.

01:49:29.000 Oh, I don't know.

01:49:29.000 I'll look at it.

01:49:30.000 Carry on, carry on.

01:49:31.000 Yeah, it's about to turn it off.

01:49:34.000 All right, let's see.

01:49:35.000 Where are we at?

01:49:36.000 All the other cameras are good, right?

01:49:37.000 That's weird.

01:49:37.000 Why did the cord come out?

01:49:39.000 No idea.

01:49:39.000 I got it.

01:49:39.000 All right, let's see what we got.

01:49:41.000 Zachary says, Adam, if you could assign an alimency power to the three of you, what would they be?

01:49:46.000 Also, I have the re-ring the subscription bell several times.

01:49:50.000 I've had to re-ring.

01:49:51.000 Oh, that's weird.

01:49:52.000 What's an alimency power?

01:49:53.000 I don't know, is that just like allocating power among us all?

01:49:59.000 Man, that feels like a trap.

01:50:03.000 In the power strip, is there a button?

01:50:04.000 I 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?

01:50:17.000 I don't know, we're doing this show together, so.

01:50:20.000 Is the button on?

01:50:21.000 I would say that him and I are about equal, and then Lydia's kind of just standing on to the side doing her own thing, too.

01:50:27.000 I don't know.

01:50:28.000 This is too much of a trap.

01:50:29.000 I feel like I don't even want to touch this.

01:50:32.000 What's wrong with it?

01:50:34.000 No, I mean, is it plugged in?

01:50:36.000 That's weird.

01:50:37.000 Open the LCD, take a look at what it says.

01:50:38.000 Does it say battery dying?

01:50:42.000 Try and unplug it from the back and plug it back in or something.

01:50:45.000 Clearly the plug's not working.

01:50:50.000 I think it's the power strip.

01:50:52.000 Everything else is in the power strip.

01:50:54.000 Yeah, but the power strip has individual buttons.

01:50:58.000 You can press a button.

01:51:00.000 Allomancy from Mistborn.

01:51:01.000 Now I know what you're talking about.

01:51:03.000 All right.

01:51:03.000 Thank you everybody.

01:51:04.000 Now I actually can answer this question.

01:51:06.000 So, so basically what we're saying is, uh, what would each of the powers be?

01:51:11.000 Like what kind?

01:51:12.000 Hmm.

01:51:15.000 What does alimansi mean?

01:51:16.000 Well, that's kind of the magic in Mistborn, one of Brandon Sanderson's books.

01:51:20.000 You fixed it?

01:51:21.000 Man, it's been a few years since I've actually read that series.

01:51:26.000 It was good.

01:51:26.000 It was basically like the manipulation of metal, alimansi.

01:51:30.000 We fixed the camera.

01:51:31.000 Yeah, I can't really think about it.

01:51:33.000 Good.

01:51:33.000 We fixed the camera, everybody.

01:51:35.000 Now, Adam, stop stalling for time.

01:51:37.000 All right, where are we at?

01:51:38.000 Okay.

01:51:39.000 The Grizzly says, hey there, Tim Kass.

01:51:40.000 How's it going?

01:51:41.000 I wanted to tell you something.

01:51:42.000 A lot of times in your videos, I always hear you say, maybe we can break some echo chambers.

01:51:46.000 In a pretty doubting voice, let me just tell you this.

01:51:48.000 You did.

01:51:48.000 You helped me back in.

01:51:50.000 And then half, let's see if I can try and just jump ahead and figure out where the next half of that Oh yeah, I want to hear this.

01:51:55.000 This sounds good.

01:51:56.000 There we go.

01:51:57.000 In 2017, your coverage of the Mueller report helped me out of a leftist echo chamber and helped my drift toward the right.

01:52:03.000 Not exclusively, though, with help from Razorfist and Styx, but I did want to let you know that you help people out.

01:52:09.000 I appreciate it.

01:52:10.000 I 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.

01:52:17.000 That's all that really matters.

01:52:19.000 Like, I don't do the things that I do because I'm trying to convince someone to be right or left.

01:52:23.000 You're trying to break echo chambers, though, right?

01:52:25.000 I mean, to an extent.

01:52:26.000 It'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.

01:52:32.000 And I think too many people don't pay attention.

01:52:34.000 So I guess it's a good thing, right?

01:52:35.000 I'd be happy about it.

01:52:37.000 Look at this, we are slammed, man.

01:52:39.000 Also, it's like 90 degrees in here, so.

01:52:41.000 It is pretty hot in here.

01:52:42.000 We're gonna get a little annoying hum, sorry guys.

01:52:44.000 Yeah, the hum's coming back because we're putting the AC back on.

01:52:46.000 Even I'm gonna pass out, I'm always cold.

01:52:46.000 Yeah, it's pretty hot.

01:52:48.000 Let's see what we got.

01:52:49.000 It's pretty hot in here.

01:52:49.000 Let's see if this thing's gonna tell me where we're at.

01:52:51.000 This room's boiling.

01:52:53.000 78 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.

01:53:08.000 Is there a way I could build one and send it to you baby test out. 0.52

01:53:11.000 Oh, yes.

01:53:11.000 Oh, yes Go to timcast.com slash donate.

01:53:14.000 There's a P.O.

01:53:15.000 box and you can send whatever you want.

01:53:18.000 Yeah, send a deck and then if it's solid quality, maybe we can work something out.

01:53:22.000 We bought some of that rubber grip tape.

01:53:24.000 It's pretty good.

01:53:25.000 Yeah.

01:53:25.000 I haven't really been able to have a heavy skate day because it rained that day.

01:53:28.000 It rained.

01:53:29.000 It's been raining nonstop.

01:53:30.000 It's been raining.

01:53:30.000 We'll see what happens.

01:53:31.000 Maybe not tomorrow, but I think the day after tomorrow we'll have a heavy session.

01:53:34.000 Maybe we'll get some crazy tricks in.

01:53:35.000 Sounds good.

01:53:36.000 I'm really inching for some Switch Blunt flips out.

01:53:38.000 We'll see what happens.

01:53:40.000 Uh, where are we at?

01:53:41.000 Okay, Mr. Ghost says, the entire chat wants to know, is Lydia single?

01:53:44.000 Now you might get tens of thousands from superchats wanting a date.

01:53:47.000 You're welcome.

01:53:48.000 No, don't answer.

01:53:48.000 Honestly, just tell them you're single.

01:53:50.000 Okay, I'm single.

01:53:51.000 There you go.

01:53:52.000 No, I'm kidding.

01:53:54.000 Just kidding.

01:53:55.000 You can answer that if you want, or you can just keep going.

01:53:57.000 No worries.

01:53:57.000 Honestly, I have no idea.

01:53:58.000 You see on the topic of women most affected by COVID they are mentioning.

01:54:02.000 Unpaid labor.

01:54:03.000 What does it even mean?

01:54:04.000 Who pays and how much government pays them from taxes? 0.98

01:54:07.000 Husband has to pay. 1.00

01:54:09.000 Honestly, I have no idea.

01:54:10.000 They have to be mothers. 1.00

01:54:12.000 WBen95 says, greetings from California's Central Valley.

01:54:15.000 Things over here haven't been too crazy.

01:54:17.000 Recently, a local grocery store chain quarantined all their workers, all their works, from a store because one person tested positive.

01:54:24.000 Yikes.

01:54:25.000 Mark 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?

01:54:37.000 Who knows?

01:54:38.000 I can't tell you.

01:54:39.000 What 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.

01:54:51.000 And then the social justice warriors are like, they say something like, the Nazis think that men in same-sex marriages shouldn't be allowed.

01:55:00.000 And then the soldier goes, what?

01:55:04.000 Are you serious?

01:55:05.000 You guys think two people of the same sex should be allowed to get married?

01:55:08.000 Like, back then, their views were not progressive at all.

01:55:13.000 Like, if you took someone from back in the past, World War II brought them today, they would be on the right, for sure. 0.99

01:55:18.000 Actually, no, there's a video of a World War II vet in a wheelchair, and some Antifa guy threw water at him. 0.98

01:55:23.000 Like, these people are nuts, man.

01:55:26.000 Point of personal privilege says, for my buddy HF Lopez, USMC Fallujah Iraq RIP 2004. 0.99

01:55:32.000 Rest in peace.

01:55:33.000 And a beer emoji, man.

01:55:34.000 Respect, yeah.

01:55:35.000 Rest in peace.

01:55:37.000 Sarah, thanks for the super chat.

01:55:39.000 Josh in Jesus says, I have long thought we should slash the police force by 80%.

01:55:43.000 This situation has proven that too many cops have too much time on their hands.

01:55:48.000 Definitely.

01:55:49.000 Entirely possible.

01:55:50.000 Stewboy says, your song, Will of the People.

01:55:53.000 The video style you described is just like the video for Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits.

01:55:56.000 It's amazing.

01:55:57.000 Might be worth checking out.

01:55:58.000 I will check it out.

01:55:59.000 Yes, they did.

01:56:00.000 Burns March Mars says Pulitzer Prizes don't impress us they gave one to

01:56:24.000 Fighter swarms are hilariously OP. 0.99

01:56:27.000 I'll take your word for it.

01:56:28.000 I hear it's a cool game.

01:56:29.000 Jeff says, I recently joined Twitter.

01:56:30.000 It might have been a huge mistake.

01:56:32.000 At an instructor he used to say, common sense is dead.

01:56:35.000 It died a long time ago.

01:56:36.000 Yeah.

01:56:38.000 Gerg C says his podcast has become my go-to evening entertainment except on Thursdays and obviously the weekends.

01:56:42.000 Thank you guys very much.

01:56:45.000 Are you trying to say that you're gonna go watch Crowder instead of us?

01:56:47.000 Are you really gonna watch Crowder?

01:56:48.000 Come on, man.

01:56:49.000 No, it's funny though.

01:56:50.000 No, Crowder's cool.

01:56:51.000 He's a funny dude.

01:56:52.000 And he does one show a week, so I'm kind of like, it's good that people watch him.

01:56:56.000 We do shows every day.

01:56:57.000 Crowder's great.

01:56:58.000 TheGrizzly says... Oh, I'm sorry, I read that one already.

01:57:01.000 AllMetalMike says, My two ex-great-grandfather fought in the Civil War.

01:57:05.000 My grandfather fought in World War I. My uncle fought in World War II.

01:57:09.000 Wow, man.

01:57:09.000 That is impressive.

01:57:10.000 High five.

01:57:11.000 Right on.

01:57:12.000 ViaWolf says, Tim, you ever host a Civ VI MP stream?

01:57:17.000 I haven't played Civ VI in a long time.

01:57:19.000 I used to play like every day after work, but now we do this.

01:57:21.000 I think it's the free game right now for Epic Games.

01:57:24.000 Civ VI?

01:57:25.000 Yeah, they gave out Grand Theft Auto V, now they're doing Civilization VI.

01:57:29.000 But there's a new expansion for it.

01:57:30.000 Oh, is that what's happening?

01:57:31.000 Yeah, so it's like you get the game and they want you to get the expansion.

01:57:33.000 Yeah, of course.

01:57:33.000 I love Civilization, man.

01:57:36.000 Chris Christian says, The truth just sounds different.

01:57:38.000 Some chicken, some movie.

01:57:40.000 Damien Maddox says, Take my money, Beanie Bro.

01:57:42.000 Any plans to go to Spotify like Rogan?

01:57:45.000 I'm already on Spotify.

01:57:47.000 My podcast.

01:57:48.000 If they start hosting videos and it's open to the public, I'll definitely put my videos there too.

01:57:52.000 Chaotic 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.

01:57:59.000 The Founding Fathers won.

01:58:00.000 100%.

01:58:00.000 Smart dudes.

01:58:03.000 Let's see, Perik Tiwari says, on Friday's podcast you talked about a possible correlation between population size and authoritarianism.

01:58:11.000 India is a democracy with a population of 1.3 billion.

01:58:14.000 China's way is not the only way.

01:58:16.000 Agreed.

01:58:17.000 All right.

01:58:18.000 Max Reed says, hey Tim and Soy Hero, are you guys hip to Glenn Cook's books?

01:58:22.000 The Black Company series is a dark fantasy masterwork and his Garrett files are the funniest.

01:58:27.000 Thanks for all you do.

01:58:28.000 Not familiar.

01:58:28.000 I don't, but if you're suggesting it to me, maybe I should check it out.

01:58:32.000 I'll write this down.

01:58:33.000 Glenn Cook.

01:58:34.000 Cool.

01:58:35.000 Soy hero, thanks.

01:58:36.000 Yes!

01:58:36.000 so.

01:58:37.000 Paul N. says Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, Democrat.

01:58:40.000 Fart noises.

01:58:42.000 Totally jumbled.

01:58:43.000 Tim, please consider having this woman on your podcast.

01:58:45.000 She has an important view of why so many people are leaving the left.

01:58:48.000 Dr. Carolyn Borisenko.

01:58:49.000 Yes.

01:58:50.000 I do know Dr. Carolyn.

01:58:51.000 She's my friend.

01:58:52.000 She would be awesome on the podcast.

01:58:54.000 Soon because we're lifting lockdown.

01:58:56.000 Yeah, she's gonna teach me how to knit. 0.99

01:58:58.000 Oh, really?

01:58:59.000 She is.

01:59:00.000 Right on.

01:59:02.000 Judge Tater says, Hey Tim, I listen to you guys at work.

01:59:04.000 Real sorry to hear about your friend. 0.52

01:59:05.000 I lost one to the radical misandrist feminists. 1.00

01:59:08.000 She used to be so small, sweet, and stood up for me. 0.73

01:59:10.000 Now I'm the enemy to her.

01:59:12.000 And I'll tell you what.

01:59:14.000 I had someone who was my friend, this is years ago, come up to me one day and just start telling me about the Scum Manifesto.

01:59:20.000 You know what that is?

01:59:21.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:59:22.000 I know about it.

01:59:22.000 You know what the Scum Manifesto is?

01:59:24.000 Uh-uh.

01:59:25.000 I think it's the woman who shot Andy Warhol or whatever.

01:59:27.000 Is that who it is?

01:59:29.000 Yeah, I think it is. 0.99

01:59:30.000 It's talking about how men need to be killed or something, and all men. 1.00

01:59:33.000 It's psychotic. 1.00

01:59:34.000 And she was serious.

01:59:35.000 I'm like, you for real with this stuff? 0.98

01:59:38.000 You're going nuts, man. 0.76

01:59:40.000 It's scary. 0.73

01:59:41.000 It's so hard.

01:59:42.000 Ben Lowry says, Afghanistan Army vet here.

01:59:44.000 Would love to talk to y'all about my experience.

01:59:46.000 Had to testify in a murder-suicide trial.

01:59:48.000 Danny Chen Army.

01:59:48.000 Wow.

01:59:49.000 Wow.

01:59:49.000 Feel free to hit up Adam, right?

01:59:51.000 Yeah, hit me up.

01:59:52.000 On Twitter, at Adam Krigler.

01:59:53.000 He is the contact for tips, stories, anything you want to send.

01:59:57.000 Kyle Miller says, SJWs infect popular outlets and franchises because they cannot gain popularity on their own.

02:00:02.000 Look at Star Wars.

02:00:03.000 I agree.

02:00:05.000 Chet Chisholm says I didn't walk away from the left, the left walked away from me.

02:00:08.000 HCQ stuff helped clarify anything?

02:00:10.000 I'm just digging into some autopsy stuff for you too.

02:00:14.000 Yeah, no, he's talking to me.

02:00:16.000 Yeah, I read some of that stuff.

02:00:18.000 The really, the main thing is, is we are trying not to talk about coronavirus.

02:00:23.000 I mean, we've covered pretty much every aspect of it.

02:00:26.000 And it's like, there's a lot of information that you're sending me, but it's like, how to, how to just like talk about that.

02:00:34.000 And it's just that when we really want to get away from it, because I don't know.

02:00:39.000 It's just kind of where we're at.

02:00:41.000 I feel like we were bashed over the head with a big mallet with coronavirus labeled on it for months.

02:00:46.000 It was crazy when the lockdown first started, everything stopped and it was like, brutal.

02:00:53.000 Now things are getting back and it's like, we can talk about Joe Rogan and Spotify?

02:00:57.000 Like, yes!

02:00:59.000 Let's talk about not... It's wonderful.

02:01:03.000 We don't, yeah man.

02:01:04.000 But I appreciate your chat though, thank you.

02:01:05.000 I like the stuff we talked about today with freedom, UBI, civic, all that stuff.

02:01:09.000 Yeah, I dig it.

02:01:09.000 It's like, I'm just someone, we want to have fun.

02:01:12.000 Recognizing heroes.

02:01:14.000 Grim Soul Banisher says, from now on, mandatory Mayo Mondays.

02:01:18.000 Partial B to Lord Mayo, the hairless guinea pig.

02:01:21.000 Okay.

02:01:22.000 YuYu 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.

02:01:31.000 Whoa, is that true?

02:01:32.000 What?

02:01:33.000 I'll have to look that one up.

02:01:34.000 Never heard that.

02:01:34.000 Jet Chisolm says, in Revelations, Jesus comes back and shoots swords.

02:01:38.000 Is that true?

02:01:39.000 Possibly somewhere in the book of Revelation.

02:01:42.000 There's some crazy stuff in there.

02:01:44.000 I added a couple cards to my kicker.

02:01:44.000 Superchat, but I forgot to ask you what you guys thought of the new Ikora set.

02:01:48.000 I just got a box, but I'm building a deck for Friday Night Magic.

02:01:50.000 Thank goodness the local games shops didn't close here in Florida.

02:01:54.000 Team Red.

02:01:55.000 I added a couple cards to my, um, kicker?

02:01:59.000 Kaikar.

02:02:00.000 Kicker.

02:02:01.000 Kicker?

02:02:02.000 Kicker! 0.93

02:02:03.000 It's red, white, and blue though.

02:02:05.000 Some broken cards.

02:02:07.000 I like the set.

02:02:09.000 I just played some sealed earlier and it was fun.

02:02:13.000 It's fun to do limited.

02:02:15.000 You really get a feel for the sets a little more.

02:02:17.000 I don't like the set.

02:02:18.000 No?

02:02:19.000 Play some limited!

02:02:20.000 It's totally different.

02:02:23.000 I like the companion idea, I do.

02:02:25.000 It does feel like they ripped off Hearthstone.

02:02:26.000 Because Hearthstone did that first.

02:02:28.000 What?

02:02:28.000 Hearthstone 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.

02:02:47.000 Eh, Hearthstone, meh.

02:02:49.000 I tried it.

02:02:50.000 Magic has followed a lot of what Hearthstone had ended up doing.

02:02:54.000 Hearthstone's super simple.

02:02:56.000 But I like Commander.

02:02:58.000 Sean 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.

02:03:07.000 That's why racism is racism. 0.57

02:03:09.000 They're trying to change the definition for political power.

02:03:12.000 Colt says, The Council of Nicaea did not edit the Bible.

02:03:15.000 That is a lie pushed by the movie Zeitgeist.

02:03:18.000 Really?

02:03:18.000 Is that where that comes from?

02:03:19.000 Yeah, Zeitgeist had a lot of wrong stuff in it for sure.

02:03:22.000 Stephen says, careful Tim, the COVID will hear you if you say its name too much.

02:03:25.000 Don't say its name three times in the mirror.

02:03:27.000 Talbot says, the left used to say it's time to be a human doing and say to go protest.

02:03:34.000 Now they say it's ableist, but you should still go protest.

02:03:37.000 Matthew Hammond says, Now you know why conservatives are against a living and

02:03:40.000 breathing constitution.

02:03:42.000 The left will make the constitution whatever they want it to be,

02:03:44.000 if they are allowed to define it, amend it, to change it.

02:03:47.000 But it is amendable.

02:03:48.000 The problem is zealotry.

02:03:50.000 We defend against cultist authoritarians.

02:03:53.000 Amendments require all the states, don't they?

02:03:56.000 A majority.

02:03:56.000 Yeah, they require tons of states.

02:03:57.000 Thousands on a whim.

02:03:58.000 I agree.

02:03:58.000 and allergies. Roger says you're not being offended on behalf of black people for Biden, you're being

02:04:03.000 alarmed that he is so openly racist. You are always right to hate racism. I agree. Yeah. Micah says

02:04:09.000 King James took out entire chapters. Yeah, they called him apocryphal. Long Dong John says if you

02:04:15.000 vote for Trump, you ain't black. 0.99

02:04:17.000 Does that mean Sean King voted for Trump? 0.92

02:04:19.000 Ooh, spicy.

02:04:19.000 Good question.

02:04:20.000 Dread Forger says, prisoners equals liability if they die in prison.

02:04:24.000 Definitely.

02:04:25.000 Mark Robertshaw says, as a white male, I definitely feel superior to Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

02:04:29.000 The borderline minimum wage job is so much better than his job.

02:04:32.000 I'm so privileged because of race.

02:04:34.000 No.

02:04:36.000 Chet Chisholm says, we cleared patients out and canceled procedures to make room and preserve stock.

02:04:42.000 People often go to the ER for things they don't need and now they don't.

02:04:45.000 All right.

02:04:46.000 So I think we have to start speeding things up and I hate to do this to you guys, but this is often something, uh, often what happens.

02:04:51.000 Oh, it's already 10.

02:04:52.000 Yeah.

02:04:52.000 We get, we get too many super chats.

02:04:53.000 It becomes very difficult to read through everything.

02:04:56.000 So that means we're not going to be able to read through the smaller super chats for that.

02:05:00.000 I apologize.

02:05:01.000 Later in the night, it happens.

02:05:03.000 I'll spin the UFO for you all but Adam's gonna spin the UFO Chase Smith, thanks the super chat the dark wall says I

02:05:09.000 love you and your content for years You guys are truly a treasure and a much-needed time, but

02:05:14.000 let's cut to the chase. I don't want to be Tim body pillow when

02:05:20.000 Thank you.

02:05:20.000 Thanks for joining.

02:05:21.000 Evil Me says, lockdown was useless.

02:05:23.000 My friends and I drive semis.

02:05:25.000 Been out here the whole time, been to NYC, Jersey, Detroit.

02:05:27.000 Out of 20 people, none of us got sick.

02:05:29.000 About one third of the people I know who stayed home got sick.

02:05:31.000 Love y'all, be safe.

02:05:32.000 And Cuomo confirmed that.

02:05:34.000 David says, Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution.

02:05:37.000 He shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

02:05:40.000 Trump can make states reopen through enforcing the rights to

02:05:43.000 assemble from the First Amendment.

02:05:45.000 But businesses and stuff, there's probably nuances there, and there's courts.

02:05:48.000 I'd like to check the nuances.

02:05:50.000 Vosht says, SJW hole, is that like the front hole?

02:05:55.000 Slav in the chat says, greetings Western imperialists.

02:05:58.000 I very much enjoy this show.

02:06:00.000 Also, I am sending you a copy of Future by Dmitry Glukhovsky, so do not buy it.

02:06:05.000 Don't worry, it's English copy, so even Western spies can enjoy sci-fi literature from Glorious Federation.

02:06:11.000 Very good, thank you.

02:06:11.000 Alright.

02:06:12.000 Nice.

02:06:13.000 Andrew says, looking for a good sci-fi book series?

02:06:14.000 Check out Galaxy's Edge.

02:06:16.000 It's by Jason Ansbach and Nick Cole.

02:06:18.000 It's not Star Wars, but better.

02:06:21.000 It's a bit of a complex storyline, so check their website for details.

02:06:24.000 Galaxy's Edge.

02:06:25.000 Cool, thanks.

02:06:26.000 Eggman 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?

02:06:33.000 I mean, stuff like celebrity worship and all that nonsense.

02:06:36.000 Somewhat.

02:06:37.000 Probably.

02:06:37.000 I think there'll be things that'll be different.

02:06:39.000 Yeah.

02:06:39.000 Not 100% though.

02:06:40.000 The bubble's been popped.

02:06:41.000 For sure.

02:06:42.000 For sure.

02:06:42.000 Connor, thanks for joining.

02:06:43.000 Thank you.

02:06:44.000 Sue, thanks for the super chat.

02:06:45.000 Hedge, thanks for the super chat.

02:06:47.000 Mac Hero says, why was it so easy to compare SJW ideology influence to infants watching Finger Family?

02:06:54.000 Because they're children.

02:06:55.000 That's basically what it is, yeah.

02:06:56.000 That's basically what we went over.

02:06:58.000 Mark Wolf says, I am starting to view the issues of today by this filter.

02:07:01.000 Good men forsooth are scarce.

02:07:04.000 There are hardly as many as there are gates of Thebes or mouths of the rich Nile.

02:07:12.000 Juvenal sat.

02:07:13.000 Jack Conte.

02:07:15.000 In Illinois, my apartment complex emailed residents to inform on each other if we don't wear masks in the hallways.

02:07:20.000 Amenities closed.

02:07:21.000 Wow.

02:07:22.000 I'm considering not paying rent until Illinois gets together as my protest.

02:07:27.000 Gets it together.

02:07:29.000 Professor Remendev says, so if dry real news content isn't profitable, how do you make a news organization that can last?

02:07:36.000 It's subsidized.

02:07:38.000 Now, news was always a loss leader.

02:07:39.000 It's a marketing thing.

02:07:41.000 You do breaking news, you get a bunch of attention for your brand or whatever.

02:07:45.000 Now they've become profit engines, so...

02:07:49.000 Maybe that's the plan.

02:07:50.000 I don't know.

02:07:51.000 Awesome.

02:07:52.000 Don't you know it!

02:07:53.000 Lydia, thanks for all the stuff you do. Keep up the great work also since it's Memorial Day.

02:07:53.000 No, come on.

02:07:57.000 Semper Fi Philip, keep watching from on high buddy. Awesome.

02:08:01.000 Awesome. Kells, thanks for joining. EF says this stream should be illegal. Common sense is not allowed

02:08:06.000 on YouTube. Don't you know it? No, come on. Joe Rogan's got a huge show. That's true. Let's

02:08:11.000 see. 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?

02:08:21.000 The publisher platform argument is wrong.

02:08:24.000 Many people get that wrong.

02:08:25.000 And it's actually the First Amendment that protects these companies from having to host content they don't want.

02:08:30.000 That's the challenge.

02:08:31.000 The government can't create a law that would prohibit their ability to speak as an entity.

02:08:38.000 I think we need to change it, but it's actually the First Amendment.

02:08:42.000 The government can't compel you to say something.

02:08:44.000 So these companies are like, we can post whatever we want, no matter what.

02:08:47.000 I think there are problems there.

02:08:48.000 We'll have to figure it out.

02:08:50.000 It's actually like the traditionally liberal position, government regulation over these issues, you know?

02:08:55.000 But the left today, it's like they want power, so.

02:08:57.000 Yeah.

02:08:58.000 Aaron Larson says, and the sign said, long-haired freaky people need not apply.

02:09:02.000 So I tucked my hair up under my beanie and I came to ask him why.

02:09:05.000 Song stuck in my head now.

02:09:06.000 Thanks guys and gal, haha.

02:09:08.000 As my hair's totally tucked into my beanie.

02:09:10.000 As soon as we're done, I'm going to tell the robot to play it.

02:09:13.000 Nice.

02:09:13.000 The robot.

02:09:14.000 You can't say her name.

02:09:15.000 Ricky J says here in the UK you can discriminate for employment if there's a legitimate reason.

02:09:15.000 No.

02:09:20.000 For example, hiring a woman for social care for women or hiring fit people to work in construction.

02:09:25.000 That's true for America too.

02:09:27.000 It is.

02:09:28.000 Non Servium says service should guarantee voting for commander-in-chief.

02:09:32.000 If 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.

02:09:43.000 I love that episode.

02:09:44.000 I haven't seen it.

02:09:44.000 Is it good?

02:09:45.000 You should watch Solar Opposites made by Justin Roiland.

02:09:47.000 One episode has the girl character trying to smash the patriarchy but has to start a

02:09:50.000 boys club because everything is already inclusive.

02:09:52.000 Yes, I saw that.

02:09:53.000 I love that episode.

02:09:54.000 It was awesome.

02:09:55.000 I haven't seen it.

02:09:56.000 It was a good one.

02:09:57.000 So she's told by her teacher to take down the patriarchy for her assignment.

02:10:01.000 But everything she finds is inclusive.

02:10:03.000 So she makes a boys club started by a girl that says no girls allowed and a bunch of 0.95

02:10:07.000 boys show up to protest it.

02:10:09.000 And she's trying to start it so she can smash it. 1.00

02:10:12.000 But then the boys show up and accuse her of being a bigot because she excluded girls and they chase her out.

02:10:17.000 It's so great.

02:10:19.000 I loved it.

02:10:20.000 I really enjoyed that.

02:10:20.000 That's funny.

02:10:22.000 Nice.

02:10:22.000 Kyle Harmon says, Ivan at Niage.

02:10:26.000 Let's go join the Navy.

02:10:28.000 Do you remember that Simpsons episode?

02:10:29.000 Yvonne et Niage?

02:10:30.000 No.

02:10:30.000 I feel like I should join the Navy.

02:10:31.000 You don't remember that song?

02:10:32.000 No.

02:10:33.000 Yvonne et Niage.

02:10:35.000 Sing it, Tim.

02:10:36.000 Yeah.

02:10:37.000 So it was the Simpsons, the Navy recruiter hired Barton as like boy band to just sing it and it says join the Navy backwards.

02:10:44.000 Oh, okay.

02:10:44.000 Yvonne et Niage.

02:10:45.000 Yeah.

02:10:45.000 Nice.

02:10:46.000 Nanan says voting rights should be granted to landowners, the most affected by most of the decisions made.

02:10:53.000 One vote per acre of land zone residential owned rounded down to the nearest integer.

02:10:59.000 You know, I understand why the history used to be that way, but now I understand why it's

02:11:03.000 not that way because we're not actually a country of landowners anymore.

02:11:08.000 Most people live in rental properties and stuff.

02:11:11.000 Sketchy says, the idea of the citizenship for service makes more sense as they have 0.96

02:11:14.000 taken a stake in government, much like the original idea behind the property for voting,

02:11:18.000 as taxes pan to it, but with it being more meritocratic.

02:11:23.000 Perpetual Punster says, in Starship Troopers, anyone could apply to be a citizen and work

02:11:27.000 However, two years of civil service guaranteed citizenship.

02:11:30.000 It guarantees.

02:11:30.000 Oh, I see.

02:11:31.000 That's the point.

02:11:32.000 EF says, what is your opinions of the Biden gaffes?

02:11:36.000 He's sun setting and old and he can't think straight anymore.

02:11:39.000 How many gaffes does it take to finally just have dementia?

02:11:43.000 Exactly.

02:11:44.000 How many gaffes equals one dementia?

02:11:47.000 Or when you open your mouth and it's always a gaffe? 0.84

02:11:50.000 It's better keeping his mouth shut.

02:11:53.000 Combustion says, I wonder how the acoustics are in the jail and if it could work as a recording studio.

02:11:58.000 Probably.

02:11:58.000 It looked like it could.

02:12:00.000 Cyberpunk says, remembering my first cousin.

02:12:02.000 Do you know what SPC means?

02:12:05.000 Sgt.

02:12:06.000 Private First Class or something?

02:12:08.000 SBC Daniel J. Agami.

02:12:10.000 Died from an IED in Iraq 2007.

02:12:12.000 We must never allow neocons to get in power again.

02:12:15.000 Sorry to hear, man.

02:12:17.000 A Handy Redneck says, Tim, the church churches used to be the focal points for community togetherness. 0.99

02:12:22.000 Quilting, bees, bake sales, etc.

02:12:24.000 Yup, for sure.

02:12:26.000 I know because I grew up in, I went to a Catholic school and they would do weekly gatherings.

02:12:33.000 Yeah.

02:12:34.000 And you actually paid less tuition if you were parishioners and you showed up to their events and stuff.

02:12:39.000 Yeah, that's interesting.

02:12:41.000 Let's see, David says, I'm an Iraq veteran, and I have some pretty severe service-connected disabilities.

02:12:47.000 I don't have full VA health care benefits.

02:12:48.000 I don't want them.

02:12:49.000 Oh man, thank you for your service, dude.

02:12:52.000 Let's see, what does it say?

02:12:53.000 C. Collins, 68.

02:12:54.000 Paying people to commit crimes reminds me of the new Ghost in the Shell, where they had this concept of sustainable war.

02:13:00.000 Controlled wars to help boost the world economy and control the population.

02:13:03.000 Oh man, that sounds terrible.

02:13:05.000 Yikes.

02:13:06.000 Cal Harmon says, giving the homeless houses.

02:13:08.000 My experience is pawn shop work.

02:13:10.000 Some customers have paid so much interest to the shop, we have mercy on them and give them their collateral back for free.

02:13:17.000 100% they turn around and pawn it right back.

02:13:19.000 Yikes.

02:13:20.000 Just Jen, thanks for becoming a member.

02:13:21.000 Thank you.

02:13:22.000 Vanessa says, the elementary school my youngest goes to has ranger bucks.

02:13:26.000 They can buy toys, school supplies, and if they have enough, extra recess.

02:13:29.000 Wow.

02:13:29.000 Cool.

02:13:30.000 Okay.

02:13:30.000 I had something in first grade where they would, if you did good, you would get a ticket.

02:13:34.000 Okay.

02:13:34.000 So, if you got, and if you got ten tickets, you can buy a toy.

02:13:37.000 It wasn't necessarily the same, but I thought that was awesome.

02:13:40.000 You know, later on in hindsight, I liked the idea of being able to buy toys for sure.

02:13:44.000 Krizzy Kitty says, I went to high school that basically paid you credits to

02:13:48.000 use at the school store.

02:13:50.000 They had more than candy and school tools.

02:13:51.000 I got a VCR at one point.

02:13:53.000 Wow, VCR!

02:13:53.000 Oh, that's awesome!

02:13:54.000 Random.

02:13:55.000 Yeah.

02:13:56.000 Sean says, the government is amazing with money.

02:13:58.000 Yes, let's have those people teach the kids. 1.00

02:14:00.000 Public school curriculum would be worse than having no financial education to figure it out for yourself.

02:14:04.000 Yeah.

02:14:04.000 That's a good point.

02:14:05.000 Alright, that's fair.

02:14:07.000 Johnny Cash says, Tim, please invite Styx, Hex, and Hammer on for a general policy discussion.

02:14:11.000 Not a debate, necessarily, but something I think would be a good collaboration for both of your audiences.

02:14:15.000 Yeah, Styx is awesome.

02:14:16.000 I want him to come here and sit down and hang out.

02:14:19.000 Yeah, that'd be fun.

02:14:20.000 But we're locked down.

02:14:20.000 I guess, is he in Europe now?

02:14:22.000 I thought he was overseas last I checked.

02:14:24.000 Does he live there now?

02:14:25.000 I don't know.

02:14:26.000 Styx is great.

02:14:27.000 He's a smart fella.

02:14:28.000 He's funny.

02:14:29.000 The Unrepresented says, automated mining is now in some places with driverless dump trucks.

02:14:34.000 Wow.

02:14:35.000 Interesting.

02:14:36.000 Randy says I'm moving to New Zealand ASAP.

02:14:38.000 They have an actual directory for job seekers.

02:14:40.000 On top of that, I refuse to spend ungodly amounts of money for medical treatment.

02:14:44.000 Whether they want you.

02:14:45.000 I heard that New Zealand is very... What's the right word for it?

02:14:51.000 Almost homogenistic politically, culturally.

02:14:54.000 Like, everyone is dronish.

02:14:56.000 Like, there's no dissenting thought.

02:14:59.000 Everybody... It's hard to explain, I guess.

02:15:02.000 But you know how the left is?

02:15:03.000 The SAWs?

02:15:04.000 Imagine a whole country where everyone is just homogenous in their thoughts.

02:15:07.000 So I wonder if that's partly because...

02:15:09.000 They have such a discriminating immigration policy.

02:15:12.000 They're an island.

02:15:12.000 They can do whatever they want.

02:15:14.000 They let in whoever they want.

02:15:15.000 Yeah.

02:15:15.000 And they're really, really picky.

02:15:16.000 Homogenized culture. 0.99

02:15:17.000 Highly educated and yeah.

02:15:18.000 So, I wonder.

02:15:19.000 Yeah.

02:15:20.000 Sean Moore says, what is wrong with a burger if it's just beef and cheese?

02:15:23.000 The bread is bad though.

02:15:24.000 You know, I haven't had a burger in a long time because I don't like eating beef.

02:15:29.000 It doesn't sit well with me.

02:15:31.000 And I stopped having dairy.

02:15:33.000 So there's only bread left?

02:15:35.000 No, I don't even like bread.

02:15:36.000 I have a weird diet.

02:15:37.000 I don't even know what to call it.

02:15:38.000 I call it the Tim diet.

02:15:39.000 It's not vegan.

02:15:39.000 It's not keto.

02:15:40.000 It's not paleo.

02:15:41.000 I eat some vegan food because of this guy.

02:15:43.000 Yeah.

02:15:43.000 It's like, I'm like, I was eating something.

02:15:44.000 I can't remember what it was.

02:15:45.000 And I was like, it's 99% vegan.

02:15:47.000 So it's not vegan at all.

02:15:48.000 Yeah.

02:15:49.000 Cause it was like vegan food, but I put mayonnaise on it.

02:15:51.000 Right.

02:15:52.000 Well, it's because you tried some of my food and you're like, that's pretty legit.

02:15:55.000 Yeah, to be honest.

02:15:56.000 Not bad.

02:15:57.000 So Adam's got like vegan freezer food that you can like nuke real quick.

02:16:01.000 Yeah.

02:16:01.000 And I got fish sticks and I microwaved them and then I put it in the box.

02:16:04.000 You can't do that.

02:16:06.000 And I was like, well, how am I?

02:16:07.000 What about my snacks?

02:16:08.000 My snacks.

02:16:09.000 My post-show snacks.

02:16:09.000 If I'm gonna cook something, I'll cook something.

02:16:11.000 That's right.

02:16:12.000 Right, exactly.

02:16:12.000 I just want something fast.

02:16:13.000 I just want to put something in the microwave for 30 seconds and then schlop some barbecue sauce on it and eat it.

02:16:17.000 And probably mayonnaise.

02:16:17.000 So then we got chicken nuggets and then some vegan stuff too.

02:16:21.000 That all works for me.

02:16:22.000 Yep.

02:16:22.000 That's why it's like a weird Tim diet.

02:16:24.000 Indeed.

02:16:25.000 Alright, we just had a big ol' YouTube jump.

02:16:27.000 I love when that happens.

02:16:28.000 We're doing great though.

02:16:29.000 The superchats just jump all in at one time.

02:16:31.000 Yeah, thanks for hanging out everybody.

02:16:33.000 Oh man, we got so many superchats.

02:16:35.000 Heavens me.

02:16:35.000 I hope everyone's enjoying their barbecues.

02:16:37.000 wow 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.

02:17:05.000 He's a doctor that works with, you know, victims in this line of videos.

02:17:11.000 And he's basically saying like what he's doing is grooming children.

02:17:17.000 Oh, right.

02:17:17.000 Leads into being used to being touched and less likely to like report it and talk about it.

02:17:24.000 It's bad.

02:17:25.000 It's, it just, man, I just, he creeps me out. 0.63

02:17:28.000 He's such a creepy old dude.

02:17:30.000 Like, oh, God.

02:17:31.000 Jon Stewart on The Daily Show did a segment called The Audacity of Grope.

02:17:34.000 Yeah.

02:17:34.000 Where they show one of the clips and then Jon Stewart takes hand sanitizer and puts it in his eyes.

02:17:40.000 I wish I could understand, but it's like, he's a public figure.

02:17:44.000 Dude, disappear.

02:17:46.000 Go retire, please.

02:17:49.000 He apologized for it, and then kept doing it.

02:17:53.000 He's not sorry.

02:17:55.000 He said sorry for appearances.

02:17:57.000 I'm gonna be bold, bro.

02:17:58.000 Oh, really?

02:17:58.000 You're gonna be bold?

02:18:00.000 I mean, I don't know much about him.

02:18:01.000 I know he's Biden's son.

02:18:03.000 You know Hunter Biden?

02:18:03.000 I'm very familiar with Hunter Biden.

02:18:05.000 You heard the stories about what he does at those clubs?

02:18:06.000 Yep.

02:18:08.000 He's a hot mess.

02:18:08.000 I don't know if I want to know.

02:18:09.000 Dude, he's such a mess.

02:18:10.000 Oh, I knew that. 0.99

02:18:11.000 I know he's a druggie, right?

02:18:13.000 He took his brother's widow and knocked her up shortly after her brother died.

02:18:18.000 Wow, I didn't know that.

02:18:19.000 Yeah, that's great.

02:18:21.000 And he got caught with crack pipes and stuff.

02:18:23.000 He's a hot mess.

02:18:24.000 He's a hot mess.

02:18:24.000 I wonder what Biden was doing to him when he was growing up.

02:18:26.000 I don't want to think about it.

02:18:27.000 Poor guy.

02:18:28.000 You know, I never even thought about that.

02:18:31.000 What has been seen.

02:18:33.000 Sat says, exploitation is not good, but what do you do when the third world is willing to work 1.00

02:18:37.000 for one dollar a day to Americans, one dollar a day is exploitation, to the third world they sign 0.98

02:18:42.000 up for it every day. And that's been a big argument that it actually helps them.

02:18:47.000 But we're a community of Americans, man.

02:18:49.000 You 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.

02:18:54.000 But 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.

02:19:01.000 Right.

02:19:02.000 So even that dollar a day will eventually turn into 75 cents a day.

02:19:06.000 And there's going to be a factory that will be like, you know what?

02:19:08.000 We'll offer that.

02:19:09.000 And then everyone will move to that cheaper factory because that gives them a better price.

02:19:15.000 Here's a good one from Diacritical1.

02:19:16.000 He says, being able to call POC white supremacist is the whitest of all privileges.

02:19:21.000 I know, right?

02:19:22.000 I've seen it so many times.

02:19:23.000 It's amazing.

02:19:24.000 A 20-year-old white woman with purple hair yelling at a black man that he's racist.

02:19:27.000 And I'm like, what?

02:19:28.000 I know.

02:19:30.000 Are you kidding me? 0.98

02:19:31.000 It's ridiculous. 1.00

02:19:31.000 that only white people can be racist. 1.00

02:19:33.000 Why are you, there's a viral video of a black cop and this young college woman yelling at him 0.96

02:19:39.000 that he's supporting white supremacy.

02:19:40.000 And he's like, what?

02:19:41.000 He's like, I grew up in civil rights, we talking about these people, man. 0.99

02:19:45.000 They're arrogant kids, man. 0.99

02:19:47.000 Yep. 0.98

02:19:48.000 Marty Peltz says, first time catching the show live.

02:19:51.000 I've watched you a long time and I haven't returned the favor though, or favor enough.

02:19:54.000 I've been watching Gold Silver with Mike Maloney and it's oddly familiar.

02:19:58.000 His biggest fear is the rise of socialism and the massive current wealth transfer.

02:20:02.000 Thank you, Marty.

02:20:02.000 I think it is a problem, man, for sure.

02:20:04.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:20:05.000 Daniel says, do you think your podcast would be demonetized, Shadowband, if you invited the doctor from Sweden that decided to keep the country open?

02:20:12.000 Yes, I absolutely do.

02:20:13.000 Do you think so?

02:20:14.000 Really?

02:20:15.000 Of course.

02:20:16.000 Like, they took down those two doctors.

02:20:18.000 In California?

02:20:18.000 In California.

02:20:19.000 And it's like, they took down a former advisor to the World Health Organization.

02:20:23.000 That's insane.

02:20:24.000 Yeah, you're right.

02:20:26.000 Bobby Arrigan says, thanks for the UFO spin and everything else y'all do.

02:20:29.000 You guys are awesome and a routine part of my days.

02:20:31.000 Keep up the good work.

02:20:32.000 We will try.

02:20:33.000 Thank you very much.

02:20:34.000 Spike Tracks says, I've lost my black card and with my credit, I can't reapply.

02:20:38.000 Bummer.

02:20:39.000 James Warren says, I've watched your videos since your first show up on Crowder.

02:20:43.000 I'm out in Arizona.

02:20:44.000 Do you know a YouTuber named Razorfist?

02:20:45.000 If so, would you ever bring him on IRL?

02:20:47.000 I'd love to watch.

02:20:48.000 Yeah, Razor's awesome too.

02:20:48.000 Of course.

02:20:49.000 I know Razorfist.

02:20:51.000 He's loud.

02:20:51.000 I don't really know.

02:20:52.000 He's loud?

02:20:53.000 I haven't watched- He's louder than Styx.

02:20:55.000 Oh yeah.

02:20:55.000 He's like really- He's like Styx on heroin.

02:20:58.000 No, on heroin.

02:20:59.000 I don't know what he's on.

02:21:01.000 Oh, okay.

02:21:01.000 He's fast.

02:21:02.000 So heroin slows you down.

02:21:03.000 Right.

02:21:03.000 Yeah.

02:21:05.000 Razor's like, he does his really long, fast, like, it's almost like theatrical.

02:21:10.000 It's great.

02:21:12.000 I don't know a lot about Razor, though.

02:21:13.000 I 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.

02:21:22.000 I've only seen a few Razorfist videos, though.

02:21:24.000 He does not like John McCain.

02:21:25.000 Because he's in Arizona, too, I think.

02:21:27.000 There you go.

02:21:28.000 Andrew says, Government is made of people.

02:21:30.000 All of you are people.

02:21:31.000 Voting is not your only option to change it.

02:21:33.000 Run for government positions and carry patience and vigilance for the ideas you believe in.

02:21:39.000 Yeah, we got a few good politicians, man.

02:21:41.000 I think Rand Paul is my favorite politician right now.

02:21:43.000 We need more politicians.

02:21:46.000 A younger generation.

02:21:49.000 Don't just vote.

02:21:51.000 Go get a job in politics.

02:21:53.000 This is a call for more younger generations in politics.

02:21:58.000 Find a way to clone Rand Paul.

02:21:59.000 Hey, they're, they're working through this pandemic.

02:22:03.000 Boom.

02:22:04.000 David says, did you hear about the valve China steam client alpha test?

02:22:08.000 Apparently they play a five second propaganda video on launch of any game and you can't play during certain times.

02:22:13.000 Oh my goodness.

02:22:15.000 I saw about it, but I haven't, I haven't dug into it.

02:22:17.000 I just noticed it earlier.

02:22:19.000 Adam says, always great to listen to the podcast.

02:22:21.000 Adam, what is your favorite class in destiny?

02:22:24.000 Titan.

02:22:25.000 Is it because it's the first one you've started as?

02:22:28.000 I mean, I play them all.

02:22:30.000 When 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.

02:22:41.000 But yeah, I always liked Titan.

02:22:43.000 I like their jumps the best.

02:22:45.000 And their supers.

02:22:46.000 Sayan Davies says, have you seen about the Viggov in Australia making an infrastructure deal with China?

02:22:52.000 Reporters asked your VP and he said the US don't want to disconnect from Australia, but will if they have to.

02:22:57.000 Wow, really?

02:22:58.000 I don't know about that.

02:22:59.000 Danger Supreme says, Part 1 of 4.

02:23:01.000 Hi Tim, just wanted to say some stuff about the Constitution.

02:23:04.000 Specifically about how people are changing what words mean based on today's context, and more specific, the Second Amendment.

02:23:11.000 I 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?

02:23:22.000 I think you meant own.

02:23:23.000 I absolutely would.

02:23:24.000 Of course I would.

02:23:25.000 And 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.

02:23:33.000 Some guy wrote this really funny thing where he's like, wake up at 3 a.m.

02:23:37.000 and 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.

02:23:52.000 Like a metal ball, right?

02:23:53.000 Run up to my roof and load up my artillery and fire an artillery shell.

02:23:57.000 A cannon.

02:23:57.000 Yeah, cannon at their car.

02:23:58.000 Tally-ho, lads!

02:24:01.000 All right.

02:24:01.000 Part three says, but through manipulation of language today, people are taking away our rights.

02:24:06.000 If we go down this path, the constitution won't matter as a written document anymore.

02:24:10.000 That's a good point.

02:24:11.000 And where's part four at?

02:24:12.000 There we go.

02:24:13.000 But if you do believe the constitution does need to be changed regarding to the second amendment, who do you trust to correctly change it?

02:24:19.000 Man, I honestly don't know.

02:24:20.000 That's the key right there.

02:24:21.000 That's why we need younger people in politics, smart people.

02:24:26.000 But times change and people keep I know you're in that direction.

02:24:29.000 That's a good point.

02:24:30.000 I mean, look, Joe Rogan's, I think he's pro-gun, and he's a lefty dude.

02:24:30.000 We'll see.

02:24:35.000 What 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.

02:24:40.000 They don't get it.

02:24:41.000 It's a good point.

02:24:42.000 It'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?

02:24:50.000 I'm pretty sure Maine is partially blue.

02:24:52.000 Is Maine blue or purple?

02:24:53.000 I think, let me check.

02:24:54.000 Anyway, you've got these northeast blue-ish states.

02:24:58.000 They like their weapons, man.

02:25:00.000 Like Vermont, especially.

02:25:02.000 That's why Bernie Sanders was usually moderate.

02:25:04.000 Yep, it's blue.

02:25:05.000 And Maine, my understanding is you got concealed carry without a permit.

02:25:08.000 You just walk in, buy it, and put it in your trench coat or whatever.

02:25:11.000 Mr. Paul R. says, Awesome!

02:25:13.000 What y'all do Monday through Friday?

02:25:14.000 Love what you do 5 days a week.

02:25:15.000 Hats off to Tim Casta, 7 days a week.

02:25:17.000 Love Lydia's horizontal striped shirt.

02:25:19.000 Appreciate it.

02:25:20.000 Shadow Fox says, my uncle was a Green Beret during Operation Desert Storm, and I was a part of Operation Inherent Resolve in 2017.

02:25:26.000 And my dad is still in the army while he is 50.

02:25:31.000 Wow.

02:25:32.000 Right on.

02:25:33.000 Bobcat says, Tim, get your team some 10th Mountain Rye.

02:25:36.000 Also, don't come to PA.

02:25:37.000 You can't legally buy the good stuff here because the state owns all the liquor stores.

02:25:41.000 Yikes, really?

02:25:42.000 Come on.

02:25:42.000 I didn't know that.

02:25:44.000 Xerxe says, Adam is trying to give this serious answer, yet Tim is so focused on the dead camera.

02:25:48.000 Oh, yeah.

02:25:49.000 Technically, it was dying.

02:25:51.000 Sorry, it was me.

02:25:52.000 I was standing over there.

02:25:52.000 I've had that.

02:25:53.000 I just don't like drinking.

02:25:54.000 I don't drink.

02:25:55.000 It's a gateway whiskey for people who don't like peaty Islays. 0.99

02:25:59.000 I've had that.

02:26:00.000 And it's a great drop of...

02:26:01.000 Anyway, I just don't like drinking.

02:26:02.000 I don't drink.

02:26:03.000 Yeah.

02:26:04.000 Yeah.

02:26:05.000 Antony says, by the power of soy Jesus, you shall not simp.

02:26:07.000 This super chat is paid for by simping point USA.

02:26:10.000 Thank you.

02:26:11.000 Rockle...

02:26:12.000 Rocklexicon says, great rants tonight, Beanie Crew.

02:26:16.000 Less SJW, more gratitude for the blessings we have.

02:26:19.000 Can't wait to get my Haram Faisay shirt that I ordered.

02:26:21.000 Awesome.

02:26:21.000 Thank you for that.

02:26:23.000 Raulgan says, What is your opinion on China's digital currency that is backed by gold?

02:26:27.000 Will this be their first step on controlling crypto?

02:26:29.000 Maybe it's an attempt to trick people into buying it up with real cash and then they just say, OK, now we don't honor it.

02:26:35.000 Bye bye.

02:26:36.000 Good point.

02:26:37.000 Mr. Sparky says, Hey Tim, have you thought of moving to Florida?

02:26:40.000 We have no state income tax, decent housing costs, and great weather.

02:26:43.000 Excuse me?

02:26:43.000 You said great weather?

02:26:44.000 How dare you?

02:26:44.000 Do you like swimming when you go outside?

02:26:46.000 How dare you?

02:26:47.000 We lived in Florida.

02:26:48.000 We lived there.

02:26:49.000 Been there, done that.

02:26:51.000 It was fun that it was always a tropical hurricane in Miami.

02:26:54.000 Yeah.

02:26:54.000 But that doesn't sound fun.

02:26:56.000 Even our house had like barricaded windows that we could look in.

02:27:01.000 They had like hard metal sheets in the garage that you'd have to replace if a hurricane was coming.

02:27:05.000 It was crazy.

02:27:06.000 Michael Coventry says, you guys are awesome.

02:27:08.000 When I was younger, I tried skateboarding, smacked my nose on the board.

02:27:11.000 Oof! 1.00

02:27:12.000 That sucks. 0.96

02:27:13.000 Oh man, we just got a big old jump. 0.95

02:27:14.000 Where are we at?

02:27:14.000 There we go.

02:27:16.000 Let's see.

02:27:17.000 Sexy Goose, thanks for becoming a member. 0.50

02:27:19.000 Thank you.

02:27:20.000 Sam says, have you ever seen the Chinese made movie Hero starring Jet Li?

02:27:24.000 It's the most visually stunning film I've ever seen, full stop.

02:27:27.000 While it is definitely propaganda, it really gives insight into the Chinese mentality.

02:27:30.000 Ooh, I'll check that out.

02:27:31.000 That sounds cool.

02:27:32.000 It's called, what is it called?

02:27:32.000 Hero, Chinese hero.

02:27:34.000 Cool.

02:27:34.000 Redwall says, I think I got blackpilled.

02:27:36.000 I'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.

02:27:43.000 Now that is dangerous thinking there, buddy.

02:27:46.000 It is tough because we got a really good thing going on and they're disrupting it, so.

02:27:51.000 It's an issue of defending the Constitution from these people.

02:27:54.000 Jonathan says, can you start doing interviews?

02:27:56.000 I want to see some hardcore interview.

02:27:58.000 Also, Soy Jesus, I think you'd be a great person, uh, to do with. 0.82

02:28:02.000 I think you mean, uh, to with?

02:28:04.000 Also, the second she- they, uh, accept this- okay, I'm just gonna read this.

02:28:08.000 Also, the second she-they lady on your cast, more she add good stuff, but it's weird when you hear her but don't see her. 0.99

02:28:16.000 Wait.

02:28:17.000 But she does have a camera. 0.99

02:28:19.000 I have a camera!

02:28:20.000 It does go to her when she speaks.

02:28:21.000 Sometimes I'll say a few words without showing my face, like now.

02:28:24.000 But not always.

02:28:25.000 Solitary Gamer says, Maine is not blue with guns.

02:28:27.000 We rejected Bloomberg regulations and have constitutional carry.

02:28:30.000 That's right.

02:28:31.000 Wow, constitutional carry.

02:28:34.000 Daniel says, Do you think they would hold a double standard

02:28:36.000 than potentially not demonetizing mainstream media in Sweden,

02:28:39.000 policing just American independent commentary?

02:28:41.000 Yeah, I don't know.

02:28:43.000 Maybe.

02:28:44.000 No idea.

02:28:44.000 I don't know how it would work internationally, actually.

02:28:46.000 But I think they would take the whole video down.

02:28:48.000 Ascendiate says, Adam, what order of Knights Radiant would you be?

02:28:51.000 Stormlight Archives reference.

02:28:53.000 Man, that is a good book series.

02:28:56.000 This is the one I was talking about.

02:28:57.000 This is Brandon Sanderson's epic, basically.

02:29:00.000 I think it's supposed to be nine books long.

02:29:02.000 But man, what order of the Knights Radiant would it be?

02:29:06.000 Honestly, I don't know.

02:29:07.000 I couldn't answer that.

02:29:08.000 I would love to be a knight just to wear the suit and jump around and be epic.

02:29:14.000 They basically have these suits, these knight in shining armor, and it's literally shining with this power that it radiates and it uses.

02:29:24.000 Is it sci-fi or fantasy?

02:29:25.000 Oh, fantasy.

02:29:26.000 I wouldn't say sci-fi.

02:29:27.000 It's more fantasy.

02:29:30.000 Maybe it's sci-fi?

02:29:30.000 I don't know.

02:29:31.000 It's got magic.

02:29:32.000 There's singers that sing to the weather.

02:29:37.000 That's a cool book series.

02:29:38.000 I've got to read in it because I haven't read it in a while.

02:29:41.000 But I guess a new book is coming out this fall, supposedly.

02:29:43.000 The fourth book.

02:29:45.000 So we have that to look forward to.

02:29:46.000 Well, if you haven't already, smash that like button.

02:29:49.000 Just find the little button.

02:29:50.000 No, no, no.

02:29:50.000 I'm sorry.

02:29:51.000 I'm sorry.

02:29:51.000 Take your mouse, hover over the button, and give it a little tap.

02:29:53.000 Just a little tap.

02:29:55.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:29:56.000 Don't smash your mouse.

02:29:57.000 Just a little tap.

02:29:59.000 The likes really do help, and if you like the show, share it.

02:30:02.000 It's the best way.

02:30:04.000 Think about how many people are watching.

02:30:05.000 I don't even know how many, but don't worry about it.

02:30:08.000 Okay.

02:30:08.000 If 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.

02:30:17.000 Yeah, we would appreciate that.

02:30:19.000 And it really is.

02:30:20.000 But you don't have to, you know what I mean?

02:30:21.000 It's just one of the best ways to support.

02:30:23.000 You have to.

02:30:24.000 Just kidding.

02:30:26.000 Or 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.

02:30:34.000 Yeah, I just pinned a new tweet on my page.

02:30:37.000 So if you go to my page, you see it right on the top.

02:30:39.000 There's a new tweet of today.

02:30:41.000 Just, what do you want us to talk about?

02:30:42.000 And 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.

02:30:52.000 And then also there's Sour Patch Lids.

02:30:54.000 Oh, yeah.

02:30:54.000 L-Y-D-S.

02:30:55.000 L-Y-D-S. 1.00

02:30:56.000 She posts spicy memes.

02:30:57.000 I do.

02:30:58.000 I talk to people a lot.

02:30:59.000 Spicy memes.

02:31:00.000 We got one more super chat and then I think we're about to head to bed.

02:31:04.000 Andals History says, Tim, do you think UBI can work when guaranteed income equals guaranteed increase in charges for things like rent, etc.? ?

02:31:12.000 Yeah, right.

02:31:13.000 That's the main problem.

02:31:14.000 That's the problem.

02:31:14.000 It's like minimum wage a little bit.

02:31:16.000 If you don't have to work, and you get money, then how do we incentivize the lowest tier of labor? 0.97

02:31:22.000 In which case, nobody will want to do the basic level of work.

02:31:26.000 Exactly.

02:31:26.000 Like, someone's gotta... Like, there's certain things we haven't automated yet.

02:31:31.000 And that means low-skill labor will be like, I'd rather not do it.

02:31:35.000 Yeah.

02:31:35.000 And someone's response to me was that I was wrong because people would then become entrepreneurs.

02:31:40.000 I'm like, no.

02:31:41.000 They would take that money and use it as an investment to something they want to do.

02:31:44.000 And then we'd have 50,000 people getting guitar lessons.

02:31:47.000 Yeah.

02:31:47.000 For real.

02:31:48.000 That's a good point.

02:31:49.000 Yeah.

02:31:50.000 All right.

02:31:50.000 I think we're about to wrap it up.

02:31:51.000 We went a little long.

02:31:52.000 We went half an hour longer today, but we did it because we love you.

02:31:54.000 And I'm sorry we couldn't get to every single chat.

02:31:56.000 It just tends to happen.

02:31:58.000 Because we get, you know, too much love.

02:31:59.000 But I do appreciate it.

02:32:01.000 Make sure you check out the Harumph I Say t-shirts in the description below.

02:32:04.000 It Is Me is an awesome graphic.

02:32:06.000 I've got a pipe with bubbles coming out of it.

02:32:09.000 Well, they'll see it, right?

02:32:10.000 You will see it once we sign off?

02:32:12.000 Yeah.

02:32:12.000 It's pretty good.

02:32:13.000 In the link in the description below, you can click that, go to the store, pick up your own Harambe Fisation t-shirt.

02:32:16.000 Oh, you can see it.

02:32:17.000 You just scroll down a little bit.

02:32:18.000 It's there now.

02:32:19.000 Nice.

02:32:19.000 That's cool.

02:32:20.000 You can see it.

02:32:20.000 Awesome.

02:32:20.000 The link?

02:32:23.000 Yeah, now you can see it.

02:32:24.000 Oh, that's right.

02:32:25.000 I linked the store onto the YouTube.

02:32:26.000 Nice.

02:32:26.000 Yeah, it looks good.

02:32:27.000 So all you gotta do is look under the video player, and there it is, the Harambe Fisation. 0.80

02:32:30.000 You click that thing, you buy that thing, and then you got the coolest t-shirt in all the land.

02:32:34.000 Yes!

02:32:34.000 And soon to come a Soy Jesus or Adam Krigler, whatever the graphic is.

02:32:38.000 Something.

02:32:38.000 A Lydia Night Bearer of Burdens or whatever.

02:32:41.000 I have no idea.

02:32:42.000 We'll see.

02:32:43.000 We'll be surprised.

02:32:44.000 We're gonna have them all.

02:32:45.000 Thanks for hanging out everybody and we will see you all tomorrow at 8 p.m.

02:32:48.000 Good night everybody.
