Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - TimcastIRL - New Reporting Says Coronavirus Came From Wuhan Biolab, China And WHO Is Covering It Up

00:00:00.000 Welcome to the show, everybody.

00:00:13.000 This is the TimCast IRL podcast.

00:00:15.000 I am Tim Poole, and I am joined by... What's up, everybody?

00:00:17.000 Adam Krigler here.

00:00:18.000 How you doing?

00:00:19.000 And...

00:00:20.000 The Invisible Lady.

00:00:21.000 The Invisible Lydia, who doesn't have a camera, but we're here to talk to you guys about stuff and news. 0.99

00:00:26.000 And we got a major breaking story.

00:00:29.000 This is actually crazy, I can't believe it.

00:00:30.000 I mean this seriously.

00:00:31.000 Brett Baier of Fox News reporting.

00:00:34.000 Sources believe coronavirus originated in Wuhan lab as part of China's efforts to compete with US. 0.96

00:00:41.000 In the story, they basically call it a cover-up.

00:00:43.000 We got another story from the AP that's basically saying the same thing, that China tried to cover this up This is crazy.

00:00:49.000 Now, I know a lot of people already on Twitter and already in the chat are saying, we all knew this.

00:00:55.000 You're right.

00:00:56.000 We all did.

00:00:57.000 Finally, the mainstream media is catching up to what everyone else already knew.

00:01:02.000 But you know what?

00:01:03.000 Well, not for certain, but this is pretty clear.

00:01:09.000 This is pretty clear now.

00:01:10.000 Look, how do you confirm something?

00:01:13.000 When you've got a report from South China University saying this, you've now got corroboration from multiple outlets.

00:01:20.000 Even you had one guy from, this was from, we talked about this, Washington Post saying they thought it was possible.

00:01:25.000 Now Fox is saying definitively they have sources who know what's going on, who have seen the briefings, and they're government officials.

00:01:32.000 But when you combine this with the AP, the Associated Press' story, I think it's fair to say, where is it confirmed is confirmed can get.

00:01:39.000 I agree.

00:01:39.000 I mean, that's what I was saying.

00:01:41.000 Looking at all the stuff that I now have read, it's like, it's pretty clear that they knew what was going on.

00:01:47.000 Oh yeah.

00:01:47.000 And they were trying to cover it up.

00:01:49.000 Totally.

00:01:50.000 We got a couple other stories.

00:01:51.000 There's big protests across the country.

00:01:53.000 People are rejecting these lockdowns.

00:01:56.000 And we've also got some, this, not as family friendly, But BuzzFeed News reported, because people can't pay rent, that some tenants are resorting to the world's oldest profession.

00:02:13.000 If you know what I mean.

00:02:14.000 There's always a job for someone.

00:02:15.000 I mean, I do.

00:02:16.000 I still think that story is...

00:02:18.000 You don't believe it?

00:02:19.000 Why not?

00:02:19.000 I don't know.

00:02:21.000 A landlord says, give me the money, and then there's like some young tenant, you know, and she's like, I can't, and he's like, there are other ways you can pay. 0.85

00:02:26.000 Isn't this how everything, all the plot lines start?

00:02:29.000 I mean, I'm not saying that it's not possible.

00:02:32.000 I think it's legit.

00:02:34.000 But I mean, look, it's BuzzFeed, so as trustworthy as BuzzFeed can be, so whatever.

00:02:40.000 Maybe that's my caution.

00:02:42.000 But all right, so we're going to jump into this first story.

00:02:44.000 Before we do, make sure you hit that subscribe button, hit the notification bell, hit that like button, share this podcast if you really do like it, because that's basically how we grow.

00:02:53.000 We don't have big marketing budgets or anything like that.

00:02:55.000 If we're good enough for you to share us, then that's what helps us out.

00:02:58.000 Otherwise, if you think we suck, then by all means, don't share us because we're awful and no one should have to listen to what we have to say.

00:03:04.000 But no, we're awesome. 0.62

00:03:05.000 I think so.

00:03:06.000 So why don't you hop in the super chat?

00:03:08.000 And if you do, we will then read your comments to the best of our ability.

00:03:11.000 Often we get a ton of people and so we can't get to everybody, but we will often try to read as many as we can.

00:03:18.000 We actually usually dedicate like a half an hour to 40 minutes of just like reading through your comments, so...

00:03:22.000 And sometimes it makes, like, a full-on segment.

00:03:24.000 Yeah, it's really fun.

00:03:25.000 I mean, typically, yeah.

00:03:27.000 You get Tim ranting on something.

00:03:30.000 Well, no, I mean, if someone in the super chat asks a question, and then we can talk about it.

00:03:36.000 Yeah, I mean, that fuels a big portion of the show, so make sure you hop in.

00:03:41.000 But let's start with the first story.

00:03:44.000 So this story from Fox News.

00:03:45.000 Sources believe coronavirus originated in Wuhan lab as part of China's efforts to compete with the U.S. 0.96

00:03:50.000 You see that byline right there?

00:03:52.000 Brett Baier.

00:03:53.000 That, to me, is what made this legit.

00:03:55.000 Brett Baier is like a straightforward news guy.

00:03:58.000 Yeah, that's what I, when I first said it, I was like, yeah, but it's the news.

00:04:01.000 Like, how do I know I can trust it?

00:04:03.000 And you were like, it's Bret Baier.

00:04:04.000 And I'm like, for real?

00:04:05.000 Oh, that doesn't mean anything to me though.

00:04:08.000 So I mean, for those out there, I'm clearly, Tim believes him because he's like a straight shooter.

00:04:13.000 I mean, he's boring.

00:04:15.000 To the point he's boring, yeah.

00:04:17.000 And that's not an insult.

00:04:18.000 That's respect.

00:04:19.000 Yeah, that's the kind of news anchor that we need right now.

00:04:22.000 Not trying to spin something.

00:04:24.000 Not trying to lie to anybody.

00:04:25.000 Just, here's the truth.

00:04:27.000 These are the facts.

00:04:28.000 Look, that's the news.

00:04:29.000 Good day.

00:04:30.000 I don't know a whole lot about Brett, and I'm wondering if like, do I got this guy wrong?

00:04:35.000 Is he really like some crazy opinionated guy?

00:04:37.000 But the reason I don't think too much about him is because whenever I watch him, He's just basically reading the news.

00:04:43.000 There's nothing like, and so it's like out of sight, out of mind almost.

00:04:45.000 Okay.

00:04:46.000 And so I've seen other people praising him even on the left.

00:04:48.000 And he's not one of these prime time, you know, uh, opinion pundits.

00:04:52.000 Okay.

00:04:52.000 He's like a regular news guy.

00:04:54.000 Very dry, very straightforward.

00:04:56.000 He's reporting this.

00:04:58.000 This means it is, it is bigger than it's, it's, it's bigger than, than, than the other reporting.

00:05:04.000 I didn't think these, uh, they, they were, they existed still.

00:05:08.000 Straight news guys?

00:05:08.000 Yeah.

00:05:09.000 Yeah, no, because they're all becoming so desperate.

00:05:11.000 No, but you've got like Bill Hemmer, I think is his name.

00:05:14.000 You've got a handful of straightforward news people over at Fox.

00:05:17.000 Yeah, so they're out there.

00:05:18.000 Yeah.

00:05:19.000 And there have been, you know, as much as the left likes to rag on Fox, you've got these professors, these liberal journalism professors praising daytime Fox News for being kind of boring, just like straightforward.

00:05:28.000 But anyway, Brett reports this.

00:05:30.000 He says, Exclusive.

00:05:31.000 COVID-19 originated in a Wuhan laboratory, not as a bioweapon. 0.81

00:05:35.000 But as part of China's efforts to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the US, multiple sources who have been briefed on the details of early actions by China's government and seen relevant materials tell Fox News.

00:05:50.000 This may be the, quote, costliest government cover-up of all time, one of the sources said.

00:05:57.000 The sources believe the initial transmission of the virus was bat to human, and that patient zero worked at the laboratory, then went into the population in Wuhan.

00:06:05.000 Now let's address the anonymous sourcing thing, which I'm not a big fan of.

00:06:08.000 Same here.

00:06:09.000 When you see these stories, you always gotta look at the byline.

00:06:12.000 That's what you're trying to, you know, derive your trust from.

00:06:15.000 You see the New York Times do this all the time, saying an unnamed source.

00:06:18.000 You know, my favorite line, I think this is the New York Times, they said, according to sources familiar with Trump's thinking, Seriously?

00:06:26.000 That's a real line.

00:06:27.000 Oh my goodness.

00:06:28.000 What?

00:06:28.000 That's embarrassing.

00:06:29.000 He can read his mind.

00:06:31.000 Brett Baier, on the other hand, though, is a straightforward news guy who's been praised by many people and many partisans on both sides.

00:06:37.000 And this is where you can trust.

00:06:39.000 If he's saying he's seen these documents and he thinks this is of merit, then I'm inclined to believe it.

00:06:45.000 There's a lot of people that could have come out and said this and I'd roll my eyes.

00:06:48.000 But Brett Baier, he's got 1.4 million Twitter followers.

00:06:52.000 He is a very high profile, straightforward news guy.

00:06:54.000 I don't know what else to tell you, man.

00:06:57.000 We ultimately choose to trust reporters.

00:06:59.000 This is a major mainstream news organization telling us this.

00:07:03.000 Yeah, that's pretty huge.

00:07:05.000 Asked by Fox News' John Roberts about the reporting, President Trump remarked at Wednesday's coronavirus press briefing, more and more we're hearing the story.

00:07:12.000 We are doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation.

00:07:16.000 Documents detail early efforts by doctors at the lab and early efforts at containment.

00:07:20.000 The Wuhan wet market, initially identified as a possible point of origin, never sold bats.

00:07:25.000 And the sources tell Fox News that blaming the wet market was an effort by China to deflect blame from the laboratory, along with the country's propaganda efforts targeting the U.S.

00:07:34.000 Yes, and Italy.

00:07:35.000 Makes sense.

00:07:36.000 That's why they were so quick to ban the consumption of wild animals, because they wanted to solidify that story.

00:07:42.000 Was that quick, though?

00:07:43.000 Yeah, it was.

00:07:45.000 Within a month?

00:07:45.000 I mean, for them to do that at all says a lot.

00:07:49.000 So even that they did it, all I'm seeing now is they're just trying to solidify this deflection.

00:07:55.000 Make it the story.

00:07:56.000 Well, hold on.

00:07:56.000 So now we're blaming the wild animals, so we won't eat wild animals anymore.

00:08:00.000 That doesn't even matter.

00:08:01.000 Check out this story from the AP.

00:08:03.000 What Fox has reported is, in a sense, corroborating other reporting from the Associated Press, China didn't warn public of likely pandemic for six key days.

00:08:12.000 Check this out.

00:08:14.000 President Xi Jinping warned the public on the seventh day, January 20th, But by that time, more than 3,000 people have been infected during almost a week of public silence, according to internal documents obtained by the Associated Press and expert estimates based on retrospective infection data.

00:08:31.000 Six days.

00:08:32.000 That delay from January 14th to January 20th was neither the first mistake made by Chinese officials at all levels in confronting the outbreak, nor the longest lag, as governments around the world have dragged their feet for weeks and even months in addressing this virus.

00:08:46.000 But take a look at that date.

00:08:49.000 The delay was from January 14th.

00:08:51.000 On the 14th, they knew.

00:08:53.000 And do you know what the World Health Organization did on the 14th?

00:08:58.000 Oh yeah.

00:08:58.000 Here's the tweet.

00:09:01.000 6.18am.

00:09:02.000 Eastern Time.

00:09:03.000 So what time was it over in China?

00:09:05.000 6pm?

00:09:06.000 Yeah.

00:09:06.000 Yeah, I think they're 12 hours?

00:09:08.000 Yep.

00:09:09.000 Here's what it says.

00:09:09.000 Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus identified in Wuhan.

00:09:18.000 Sounds to me like the World Health Organization was purposefully misleading us, or at the very least, useful idiots for the Chinese government, who knew, according to the Associated Press, and withheld the information. 0.56

00:09:28.000 But then why would the World Health Organization say this to us? 0.97

00:09:31.000 Exactly.

00:09:32.000 Why?

00:09:32.000 Think about it.

00:09:33.000 Is the World Health Organization lying to us?

00:09:35.000 They said China told them this, right?

00:09:38.000 That's what they said, yeah. All right. Well, on the 14th, China knew there was human-to-human 0.78

00:09:43.000 transmission. Did China lie to the World Health Organization, or did they know the truth,

00:09:48.000 and who then lied to the rest of us? Somebody lied. I bet they lied to the WHO, who then

00:09:55.000 just believed it, and they're like, oh yeah, their scientists said it.

00:10:00.000 I mean, that's the optimism in me.

00:10:02.000 I want to believe them, but I don't know, because I have a hard time trusting anything right now, until seeing the actual proof.

00:10:11.000 This is crazy, because, let me read this here, it says, U.S.

00:10:15.000 Embassy officials warned in January 2018 about inadequate safety at the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab and passed on information about scientists conducting risky research on coronavirus from bats, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.

00:10:28.000 This is all now being corroborated.

00:10:30.000 I think it's funny that we all knew this. 0.52

00:10:33.000 And I'm gonna give a nice hard shout out to people over at YouTube who are too dumb to let the people who do a good job on your platform report the news.

00:10:41.000 Because as you guys may have heard from the rest of us, whenever we try and report on this, we get suppressed, we get deranked, or demonetized.

00:10:48.000 Yep.

00:10:48.000 Welcome, welcome to How YouTube Functions.

00:10:51.000 Now, months after the fact, when we were doing reporting saying, hey, this looks like it may be possible, we're now seeing mainstream confirmation of what most of us already knew.

00:10:59.000 You called that.

00:11:00.000 It's incredible.

00:11:01.000 Well, I mean, I was skeptical.

00:11:02.000 And even Senator Tom Cotton was like, we got to entertain the possibility.

00:11:05.000 You know, this is a thing they're doing.

00:11:07.000 We even had that story from Nature.

00:11:09.000 Let me see if I have this, if I have this pulled up.

00:11:12.000 Here we go.

00:11:13.000 Nature.com, inside the Chinese lab poised to study the world's most dangerous pathogens from the 23rd of February, 2017. 0.91

00:11:23.000 Maximum Security Biolab is part of a plan to build network BSL-4 facilities across China, and this is a laboratory in Wuhan.

00:11:31.000 Of course.

00:11:31.000 And you know what's the funniest thing about these people?

00:11:34.000 Nature.com went back in January, I guess, and they editorialized the article.

00:11:42.000 Editor's note, January 2020.

00:11:43.000 Many stories have promoted an unverified theory that the Wuhan lab discussed in this article played a role in the coronavirus outbreak that began in December 2019.

00:11:51.000 Nature knows of no evidence this is true.

00:11:54.000 Scientists believe the most likely source of the coronavirus to be an animal market.

00:11:57.000 Why would they add that?

00:11:59.000 For no reason.

00:12:00.000 And was it what scientists?

00:12:02.000 Chinese scientists?

00:12:03.000 Right.

00:12:04.000 Mm-hmm.

00:12:05.000 Because that's what the WHO said that they got their information from.

00:12:08.000 Why go back to 2017 and edit this article?

00:12:12.000 The information was sound, correct?

00:12:14.000 Yeah.

00:12:14.000 Then why change the source?

00:12:16.000 If we have information that could provide context, going back and changing it is suspect.

00:12:21.000 That looks so shady.

00:12:22.000 Indeed.

00:12:22.000 I totally agree.

00:12:24.000 And you know what's really funny too?

00:12:25.000 The New York Times and CNN will like stealth edit articles.

00:12:28.000 That's when they don't let you know they changed things.

00:12:30.000 Okay.

00:12:30.000 But here we get this editor's note.

00:12:32.000 We just want to let you know.

00:12:33.000 January 2020.

00:12:35.000 CNN just got busted.

00:12:36.000 What day in January too?

00:12:37.000 Because January was a crazy month.

00:12:40.000 End of the month I'd imagine.

00:12:41.000 CNN got busted writing Chinese propaganda as news.

00:12:46.000 Yeah, you mean Z-N-N? 0.97

00:12:48.000 Z-N-N, yeah, G-N-N. 1.00

00:12:49.000 I like that.

00:12:51.000 That's a thing going around, it's pretty funny.

00:12:52.000 Check this out.

00:12:53.000 Reporting, I'm sorry, responding to the report, General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Tuesday afternoon, It should be no surprise to you that we have taken a keen interest in that, and we've had a lot of intelligence take a hard look at that.

00:13:07.000 I would just say at this point, it's inconclusive, although the weight of evidence seems to indicate natural, but we don't know for certain.

00:13:14.000 Americans were originally helping train the Chinese in a program called Prevent, well before the Chinese started working on this virus. 0.99

00:13:21.000 The French government helped the Chinese set up the Wuhan lab. 0.96

00:13:24.000 China, quote, 100% suppressed data and changed data, the sources tell Fox News.

00:13:29.000 Samples were destroyed, contaminated areas scrubbed, some early reports erased, and academic articles stifled.

00:13:36.000 There were doctors and journalists who were disappeared, warning of the spread of the virus and its contagious nature and human-to-human transmission.

00:13:44.000 China moved quickly to shut down travel domestically from Wuhan to the rest of China, but did not stop international flights from Wuhan.

00:13:52.000 Additionally, the source tells Fox News the World Health Organization was complicit from the beginning, helping China cover its tracks.

00:14:00.000 Trump announced the White House coronavirus news briefing in the Rose Garden on Tuesday that the United States will immediately halt all funding for the WHO, saying it had put political correctness over life-saving measures.

00:14:10.000 The United States is the WHO's largest single donor, and the State Department had previously planned to provide the agency $893 million in the current two-year funding period.

00:14:19.000 Senior administrations separately tell Fox News the rollout of the president's blueprint for reopening the U.S.

00:14:25.000 economy will happen Thursday afternoon, first for governors and then briefed to the press.

00:14:31.000 They say, meanwhile Trump's own handling of the crisis has come into focus.

00:14:35.000 On January 24th, for example, Trump tweeted in praise of China's transparency on coronavirus.

00:14:40.000 Though they were not speaking for the president, the sources ventured an explanation, saying it was diplomatic to make the Chinese feel good while the investigation was ongoing, with trade and other talks happening simultaneously.

00:14:50.000 In the six days after top Chinese officials secretly determined they were likely facing a pandemic from a new coronavirus, the city of Wuhan at the epicenter of the disease hosted a mass banquet for tens of thousands of people.

00:15:01.000 Millions began traveling through for Lunar New Year celebration.

00:15:05.000 They knew They had to have expected what was going to happen.

00:15:09.000 Yeah.

00:15:09.000 Or wanted it to happen.

00:15:11.000 The fact that they shut down traveling from Wuhan to anywhere else in China, and then let anyone in Wuhan, oh, you're leaving China?

00:15:18.000 Okay, we don't care.

00:15:19.000 Yeah.

00:15:20.000 International flights, go for it.

00:15:22.000 Are you kidding me?

00:15:24.000 It's like it got out and they were like, oh, it wasn't supposed to get out on our territory.

00:15:31.000 Well, let's contain it as much as possible and hope it hurts them more than it hurts us.

00:15:36.000 Exploiting it.

00:15:37.000 That's what it feels like.

00:15:37.000 That's why it's kind of crazy to me that they're saying it was an accident.

00:15:41.000 Because like, you put out all these stories, man, saying that they were withholding information, which hurt us and caused massive damage.

00:15:48.000 That, you know, BuzzFeed News reported that Chinese trolls were trying to slow down the response in Italy and Taiwan.

00:15:54.000 That's an act of aggression.

00:15:56.000 So it's weird for me to assume that some dude slips on a banana peel, this accident results in this major pandemic, and then there's like, let's roll with it.

00:16:06.000 I mean, I guess.

00:16:07.000 It's possible.

00:16:08.000 But it's like, you're saying that everything they're doing to hurt us in this was just fortuitous for them?

00:16:14.000 I mean, it's basically moves of war.

00:16:17.000 They're moving the chess pieces and we're just trying to, you know, we're not even realizing we're playing this game right now.

00:16:24.000 Well, I think our military does.

00:16:25.000 I absolutely agree.

00:16:27.000 That's why they came down on that the naval guy.

00:16:29.000 Yeah.

00:16:30.000 For making us look weak.

00:16:31.000 So what's truly fascinating about this story is that numerous mainstream outlets have slowly been walking towards this theory for a long time.

00:16:41.000 I mean, I talked about this months ago.

00:16:43.000 Yeah.

00:16:43.000 Because we had a report that a researcher said, here's what we think happened.

00:16:46.000 China suppressed the study.

00:16:48.000 Now we have more mainstream reporting.

00:16:50.000 But look, it's April 3rd, the trail leading back to the Wuhan labs.

00:16:53.000 And then also the same thing, like, we can't prove it, we can't prove it.

00:16:56.000 But here's more evidence.

00:16:57.000 Here's more evidence.

00:16:59.000 I think at a certain point, it's really fascinating to me how the media handles these things.

00:17:03.000 Because it's like a dam breaking almost.

00:17:07.000 You can see on the other side all of these bits of evidence piling up.

00:17:11.000 You get to a point where a reasonable person says, I think I know what happened.

00:17:14.000 But the media won't say it.

00:17:16.000 Until finally they have a smoking gun.

00:17:19.000 All of a sudden then it's mainstream.

00:17:20.000 Boom.

00:17:21.000 Just one day.

00:17:22.000 So now I see people on Twitter are going nuts with this.

00:17:25.000 But here's what's really freaky.

00:17:27.000 Jennifer Zhang is a YouTuber.

00:17:28.000 I'm not super familiar with who she is, but she's been tweeting a lot about what's going on.

00:17:32.000 She tweeted this image, and she writes, presumably a translation.

00:17:36.000 Urgent notice.

00:17:37.000 All county, town, and village departments.

00:17:39.000 All government departments in all towns and villages must continue to implement the Level 1 response measures.

00:17:45.000 Resume all previous disease prevent and control measures, and make sure nothing goes wrong.

00:17:50.000 When leaders from province come to make unannounced inspections this week, implement all control measures at all communities, especially old communities, for densely populated places such as hotels, markets, liquor stores, and parks.

00:18:02.000 Resume temperature taking and registering mainly.

00:18:06.000 And then there's April 13th.

00:18:08.000 She says, mainly apply to people from other places, Hubei and Wuhan.

00:18:11.000 In the meantime, take control measures in villages according to local situations.

00:18:15.000 All the above measures must be implemented within one hour.

00:18:19.000 Xintai County.

00:18:20.000 What does it say?

00:18:21.000 Of Henan Province.

00:18:22.000 Coronavirus Pneumonia Control Office.

00:18:25.000 I'm sorry, she said, sorry, should be Hubei Province.

00:18:28.000 So I don't, Hebei Province.

00:18:31.000 Apparently, she tweeted this out, what is this?

00:18:33.000 This is yesterday morning.

00:18:36.000 And people are saying, the gist of it, China's going into lockdown again.

00:18:39.000 Yeah.

00:18:40.000 They just started talking in the news, no new deaths, no new cases.

00:18:44.000 They're leaving lockdown, back in lockdown.

00:18:48.000 You know what, man?

00:18:49.000 I'll tell you what.

00:18:50.000 There's no evidence right now to suggest this is a bioweapon, at least where we're at.

00:18:55.000 Fox News is reporting that China was trying to show that they could keep up with the U.S., and they made a big mistake.

00:19:02.000 Yep.

00:19:02.000 So even now, the government actors, you know, the general whatever, haven't confirmed that.

00:19:07.000 But I'll tell you what, man.

00:19:08.000 Could you ask for a more perfect biological agent for this country?

00:19:12.000 Nope.

00:19:13.000 You could not?

00:19:13.000 No, that's exactly what they were... So again, I want to clarify, I am in no way suggesting, I am saying this is extremely fortuitous in every way for them, and it makes me suspect.

00:19:23.000 I'd like to see this investigated, because now we know there's a cover-up that's being reported by multiple outlets.

00:19:30.000 But here's what I was thinking.

00:19:32.000 If this virus was like Ebola level, it'd be shut down in two seconds.

00:19:37.000 If you wanted something to be truly effective at hurting people, you'd want an airborne virus, you'd want a two-week incubation period, and you'd want a decently low mortality rate.

00:19:49.000 Enough to cripple the country in panic and fear, to shut down naval vessels, and weaken your enemy.

00:19:55.000 Yeah, but at the same time, they admit they want to be better than us.

00:20:00.000 They want to prove that they can handle things better than Americans can. 0.97

00:20:04.000 So, if it did get out, and there was Americans that were like, they have this lab that we should be worried about. 0.92

00:20:13.000 And they're like, no, no, no, we could, we can do this.

00:20:15.000 We can handle it.

00:20:16.000 And then it gets out and they're like, oh man, don't tell anybody that it got out.

00:20:20.000 Like, let's try to, you know, put a cap on this.

00:20:23.000 And then it blows up and now it's a worldwide pandemic.

00:20:27.000 You know, there, I can see the argument that they have, they just fumbled this in the worst way possible, you know, and that, that it might not be any sort of active war.

00:20:38.000 No, no, no.

00:20:39.000 I actually think the Fox news story makes the most sense.

00:20:42.000 Yeah.

00:20:42.000 Yeah. And that's why I'm not surprised by it.

00:20:43.000 I'm surprised it's Brett Baier reporting it because I didn't think we'd get hard confirmation like this.

00:20:47.000 Yeah. But what you just said, I, I, the, the, the, I really don't think they would try to cripple their own economy.

00:20:54.000 Exactly. I do think they're bumbling morons who slipped on a banana peel and dropped a glass vial and went, oh, no. 1.00

00:21:01.000 Uh-oh. 1.00

00:21:02.000 Yeah.

00:21:02.000 And then it got out.

00:21:03.000 Yeah.

00:21:04.000 That makes way more sense.

00:21:07.000 Some people have tried to say that because of the trade war and because China's economy has been seriously hurting, that this was their act of aggression.

00:21:16.000 I don't know.

00:21:16.000 I think it would have been way worse.

00:21:19.000 No, I don't.

00:21:20.000 I don't.

00:21:20.000 I think it would have been worse if it was really them trying to hurt us.

00:21:26.000 How could it be worse?

00:21:27.000 I mean, we have those reports from the Department of Justice.

00:21:30.000 They've been smuggling in SARS virus to America.

00:21:34.000 So if it originated in Wuhan, we have all these, you know, the travel logs of like how

00:21:41.000 it spread from Wuhan, and it's very clear from there.

00:21:44.000 If they wanted to really hurt us, they would have dropped it in New York City.

00:21:48.000 Kansas.

00:21:50.000 Sure, wherever.

00:21:51.000 In the middle of the country, so that it spread from here. 0.63

00:21:55.000 And it really didn't do that.

00:21:56.000 You're right, that's a good point.

00:21:57.000 Because they've tried claiming that it originated in the US.

00:22:01.000 That's what one of the Chinese officials has said.

00:22:02.000 But that doesn't make any sense.

00:22:05.000 Of course.

00:22:05.000 If China really wanted to win, they would have made it.

00:22:09.000 Exactly.

00:22:09.000 Yeah, so for those that didn't see that story either, Yahoo News and other outlets have reported that over the past several years, Chinese scientists were illicitly bringing in viruses.

00:22:20.000 Yeah, some people got caught with it and lied about it until they were like, well, what's this vial?

00:22:25.000 Oh, well, now that you've found that vial, actually, it's the SARS virus.

00:22:30.000 And it's like, what?

00:22:32.000 I think we got ourselves a case of Three Stooges Syndrome.

00:22:35.000 Yeah, maybe.

00:22:35.000 It's China going, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, slipping and then shattering the vial and then going... For real, that's what it is.

00:22:43.000 Yeah.

00:22:44.000 So, I mean, it's not surprising that what Fox News is reporting, I think most of us expected this.

00:22:50.000 Yeah.

00:22:50.000 But I want to entertain another possibility.

00:22:53.000 Or maybe not a possibility, but I want to highlight this article.

00:22:55.000 You know, China is harvesting organs. 0.58

00:22:57.000 I pulled this up just because I want to show you that these people are twist, like their culture, their government, whatever you want to call it.

00:23:03.000 It has nothing to do with race.

00:23:06.000 It has to do with a group of people that are harvesting organs.

00:23:09.000 So I got to wonder what they're doing.

00:23:10.000 And I also got to wonder why I should trust them.

00:23:13.000 But again, I do think Fox News' reporting really does make the most sense. 1.00

00:23:16.000 They're bumbling morons. 0.99

00:23:18.000 As much as I think they would intentionally do really, really messed up stuff, I think more so there's this common problem we see with communism. 1.00

00:23:28.000 Chernobyl.

00:23:35.000 It almost reminds me of someone doing a jigsaw puzzle, and they find a piece that looks like it could fit, it doesn't, so they just start pounding on the table.

00:23:43.000 That's how I describe how these communist countries try and implement these ideas.

00:23:49.000 You know, like Chernobyl, it's like, you can see it's a nuclear reactor, we kinda understand how it'll work, and then, it blows up and sprays radioactive, you know, carbon or whatever into the atmosphere.

00:23:59.000 Or like, China being like, we're gonna make a biolab, and then they just start slamming on the table to make it fit, and then, boom. 0.91

00:24:05.000 Breach.

00:24:06.000 Like, they're nasty, what they're doing with people trying to forcefully harvesting organs.

00:24:11.000 It's messed up.

00:24:13.000 I wonder, though, man.

00:24:14.000 It's really messed up.

00:24:15.000 What do we do, if this story is true?

00:24:18.000 I mean, what do you mean, if?

00:24:20.000 Do we not know for certain that they're doing this?

00:24:22.000 Okay, so what do we do now that we know the story is true?

00:24:25.000 So it's officially true now?

00:24:27.000 It's like, it's not that I didn't believe it, you know, because there's been some sources.

00:24:31.000 What more could we have to confirm this?

00:24:34.000 That's the challenge, right?

00:24:35.000 So I know YouTube's already gonna smack us in the face for even talking about it.

00:24:41.000 They're gonna derank, this segment will be demonetized 100%, they're gonna say, how dare you say it?

00:24:45.000 Yeah, well, you got multiple, that's the Washington Post, you got a professor from Rutgers, you got Fox News, Brett Baier, they're all saying it.

00:24:52.000 Yep.

00:24:53.000 What else do we need to say this is confirmed?

00:24:55.000 Because I'll tell you what, I know there's gonna be a lot of people reluctant to say it is.

00:24:58.000 Even part of me, I'm like, oh man, do we say it?

00:25:02.000 But here's the thing, a university in China released a paper saying they were experimenting on bats, some guy got bit, some guy got peed on, and he had to quarantine himself, they think that was the probable source.

00:25:13.000 You then had the Washington Post saying we need to talk about this, the National Review, conservative paper, saying let's talk about this, all roads leading back to the lab, and now Brett Baier saying sources familiar with the reactions are saying this, and the AP Coming out saying China withheld the information and the World Health Organization lied to us.

00:25:30.000 What more does anyone need to say?

00:25:32.000 Boom.

00:25:33.000 There it is.

00:25:34.000 Yeah.

00:25:35.000 Yeah.

00:25:35.000 And it's not it's not to say whether it was it was malicious or not because that it's irrelevant for this for this all to seem it is true.

00:25:43.000 No, it was malicious.

00:25:44.000 Well, that's not what they're saying.

00:25:46.000 It absolutely is.

00:25:47.000 They're saying it originated from Wuhan.

00:25:48.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:25:49.000 No, no, no.

00:25:49.000 Them lying for six days.

00:25:51.000 Yes, that's malicious for sure.

00:25:53.000 Absolutely.

00:25:53.000 Right, right, right.

00:25:53.000 But was it... You mean intentional spread.

00:25:55.000 Right.

00:25:56.000 Was that them bumbling and going, what do we do for six days?

00:26:00.000 Good point.

00:26:01.000 Or was it like them going, all right, let's let the rest of the world brew on it.

00:26:06.000 I actually agree.

00:26:07.000 You make a good point.

00:26:07.000 I think the six days of doing nothing was Three Stooges Syndrome.

00:26:11.000 Yeah, I think they were running around in circles bopping each other on that going.

00:26:14.000 Yeah Someone give me an answer someone give me an answer right now six days later.

00:26:18.000 All right. 1.00

00:26:19.000 Let's just tell the world Yeah, no, they're probably just too stupid to yeah, they didn't know what to do. 0.98

00:26:24.000 Yeah, it wasn't about an answer It was like Xi Jinping is going like you over there Give me a report and then he like runs over and slams into like a low-hanging tree branch or something and falls down Yeah, and then the other one and he's like See it? 1.00

00:26:36.000 You know, it's just bumbling around like morons You know they have 0.89

00:26:42.000 Malintent like I mentioned with those camps there. They're doing. Oh, yeah, but yeah, I look I think 1.00

00:26:47.000 Even if they were they were bumbling around like stooges, which it really does seem like they were at least that's 0.78

00:26:53.000 what the evidence You know suggests now

00:26:55.000 They could have told us Exactly.

00:26:57.000 But that's, you know what?

00:26:58.000 I gotta be fair. 1.00

00:27:00.000 It, being a moron, I think you would be predisposed to not ask for help. 1.00

00:27:05.000 You know what I mean? 1.00

00:27:05.000 Like, they think they're all tough. 1.00

00:27:07.000 Their whole thing is to try to be better than us.

00:27:09.000 Or, better than everyone.

00:27:11.000 You know?

00:27:11.000 It's like, so they're like, they're trying to save face.

00:27:14.000 Dude.

00:27:15.000 As much as possible.

00:27:16.000 And now it's, now it's crumbling.

00:27:18.000 And what's worse is, it's crumbling in their, their citizens are starting to get upset.

00:27:23.000 Their citizens are starting to group up and band together, because they're sick of this also.

00:27:29.000 Which leads to our next segment, so I don't want to talk about that, but it's interesting stuff.

00:27:35.000 My question then is, we've got all this reporting stacked up.

00:27:38.000 We are now operating under the assumption, this is true.

00:27:41.000 They knew, they lied, the World Health Organization lied, that this may have, according to Fox News, was a breach, an accidental breach.

00:27:48.000 What do we do?

00:27:50.000 Some people on Twitter have said, wipe all of the U.S.

00:27:53.000 debt to China.

00:27:53.000 That's it.

00:27:54.000 Boom.

00:27:54.000 I don't owe you anymore, bro.

00:27:56.000 You caused this problem.

00:27:57.000 You cost me money.

00:27:58.000 I'm not paying you back.

00:28:00.000 I mean, see, that's where we get into the big hearty reminder that they make all of our medicine still.

00:28:08.000 They make everything still for us.

00:28:11.000 We rely on them.

00:28:12.000 People are talking about old people dying.

00:28:14.000 It's like, okay, cut China off. 0.99

00:28:17.000 And then all of those people that need their blood thinner medicine or insulin.

00:28:23.000 I mean, I could go on, you know, it all comes from China.

00:28:25.000 Vitamin C. Everything comes from China right now. 0.98

00:28:28.000 So it's like, we can't do that.

00:28:29.000 You know what's crazy?

00:28:30.000 You know, Obama, the Obama administration wanted more U.S.

00:28:34.000 jobs to go to China.

00:28:35.000 Really?

00:28:36.000 Oh, yeah.

00:28:36.000 Okay.

00:28:37.000 The idea was that it would force China to like it would force our economies to intertwine 0.86

00:28:42.000 and that would prevent China from overtaking us. That was their idea. 0.93

00:28:46.000 So send more American jobs over to China. That's called the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

00:28:46.000 Okay.

00:28:51.000 Trump shut it down on like what day one, right?

00:28:53.000 Yeah, really early.

00:28:54.000 The first thing he does wasn't really but like actually it might have been.

00:28:57.000 Well that had been bothering him.

00:28:59.000 I think that troubled him the most when he got elected.

00:29:00.000 Totally.

00:29:01.000 But Bernie said the same thing.

00:29:03.000 The TPP, it would have sent hundreds of thousands of jobs over to China.

00:29:08.000 Yeah, we need those jobs.

00:29:09.000 So the idea they had, the way they explained it is, it would make them dependent upon us for these jobs.

00:29:16.000 You know, and a lot of people have tweeted at me, like, because we've talked about this before, and they say, you know, it wouldn't work because America has a minimum wage.

00:29:26.000 And then we, you know, you couldn't make products as cheap.

00:29:28.000 And it's like, you know what the problem with this is?

00:29:31.000 People buy cheap things and they break and then they go buy more because there's more.

00:29:36.000 Why?

00:29:37.000 Let's go back to making quality stuff that is more expensive, but it lasts forever.

00:29:42.000 You know, and you can fix it.

00:29:44.000 This is the craziest thing.

00:29:45.000 Wealth inequality, all these lefties are complaining about, it's driven by open borders.

00:29:51.000 That's why I don't understand.

00:29:52.000 It's an impossible political situation these people have put themselves in.

00:29:55.000 And that's why you'll never see me supporting it.

00:29:57.000 Listen, if you have a billionaire in the United States, and he says, I'm going to make socks for people to put on their feet.

00:30:04.000 You know why?

00:30:05.000 Because Americans need things on their feet. 0.99

00:30:07.000 Everybody does.

00:30:08.000 So then he goes and sends all of the factories to China.

00:30:12.000 The Americans then go to the store and say, one pair of socks please, pay the ten bucks. 0.68

00:30:17.000 That ten dollars goes to China and then a portion of it goes to the billionaire.

00:30:21.000 Or I should say it goes to the billionaire and then he gives his cut to the factories.

00:30:25.000 The wealth inequality is being driven by the fact that the American worker has been removed from the equation.

00:30:30.000 The American worker gives their money away for the product, gets nothing in return, and the billionaires make cash, and the Chinese laborers make the money. 0.99

00:30:37.000 Exactly.

00:30:38.000 It's driving wealth inequality.

00:30:40.000 So this is why Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump had very similar policies.

00:30:44.000 It was very populist, nationalist, pro-America.

00:30:47.000 Bernie made the mistake of chasing after these people who don't believe in anything.

00:30:52.000 It's crazy.

00:30:53.000 I saw this tweet, it was like Cardi B.

00:30:56.000 was doing an interview with Bernie Sanders and said something like... I saw that.

00:31:00.000 She said that Open Borders is capitalist.

00:31:04.000 I saw that tweet.

00:31:05.000 I don't know if it's true.

00:31:06.000 But it is.

00:31:06.000 Even Bernie Sanders said this back in 2015.

00:31:09.000 Open Borders is a Koch Brothers proposal, right-wing proposal, for cheap labor.

00:31:15.000 Oh, you want to bring factories back to America?

00:31:17.000 Well, we're going to need cheap labor so we can still make the profit that we've been used to.

00:31:21.000 And that's why they want illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:31:23.000 Exactly.

00:31:24.000 Man.

00:31:24.000 It's like, stop worrying about product and let's make America strong and bring that middle ground back to the American citizens.

00:31:33.000 So this is why I think it's interesting to talk about the disappearing middle class, right? 0.95

00:31:36.000 Yeah.

00:31:37.000 Yeah, because you've sent it overseas.

00:31:38.000 Exactly.

00:31:39.000 It's crazy.

00:31:40.000 But what's really fascinating is that you can have, in 2016, a Donald Trump and a Bernie Sanders saying the same things.

00:31:45.000 You know that there's leaked audio of Donald Trump back in the day saying, like, Bernie is the one I'm really worried about because he's a trade guy and trades my thing.

00:31:54.000 Yeah.

00:31:55.000 So I think the reason why the Democratic establishment really, really hates Bernie is that as much as he flip-flopped and started bending the knee to them, he does represent an end of this international, what they call the neoliberal economic order or whatever, something like that, where it's like, we're going to keep expanding free trade, send more jobs overseas.

00:32:16.000 That's an extraction of our economy.

00:32:19.000 And eventually it collapses.

00:32:21.000 You end up with exactly what we're seeing now.

00:32:24.000 Silicon Valley being a really great example.

00:32:26.000 Silicon Valley's all these billionaires.

00:32:28.000 Meanwhile, down at the first floor, human waste all over the streets.

00:32:32.000 Homelessness, drug abuse.

00:32:34.000 Even the police who are working in San Fran can't afford to live there.

00:32:39.000 And you know where the labor is done for these tech firms?

00:32:42.000 No, I don't.

00:32:43.000 It's Eastern Europe.

00:32:44.000 Of course.

00:32:44.000 And because it's cheap.

00:32:46.000 It's really cheap and easy to do.

00:32:47.000 Profit.

00:32:48.000 Profit and greed.

00:32:50.000 Well, it's interesting.

00:32:51.000 It's capitalist.

00:32:53.000 It's not left-wing.

00:32:54.000 I don't understand why these... Dude, remember what we were saying yesterday when I said people on the left... Being on the left doesn't mean you're mentally deficient, but people who are mentally deficient will be attracted to the left. 0.63

00:33:08.000 The far left, I mean.

00:33:10.000 And I think it's because they give you pie-in-the-sky solutions.

00:33:13.000 They tell you that they're going to give you rainbows and candy canes, and then people think, I want that.

00:33:18.000 Whereas a mature adult is going to say, I don't believe you.

00:33:21.000 You know, that's too good to be true.

00:33:23.000 Right.

00:33:24.000 So what do you really want?

00:33:26.000 Well, what you end up getting are, you know, the Democratic Socialists of America voted at their, it was like in September, I think, for open borders.

00:33:34.000 How did you convince all of these lefties who are supposed to be fighting for labor to support one of the most capitalistic systems ever?

00:33:44.000 Yeah, trying to protect labor. 0.96

00:33:45.000 That's going to ruin labor. 1.00

00:33:47.000 In America.

00:33:47.000 Totally.

00:33:48.000 Yep.

00:33:48.000 Factory's gone.

00:33:49.000 But you know what it is?

00:33:50.000 No, it's not gone.

00:33:52.000 Your jobs are gone.

00:33:53.000 You're right.

00:33:54.000 If they go to the people that aren't registered, then they can pay dirt cheap.

00:33:54.000 That's what I mean.

00:33:58.000 Have you seen that video from the DSA meeting where the guy stands up and he's like, uh, point of personal privilege, um, my name's, you know, John Smith, he, him.

00:34:07.000 Can I just let everybody know that, you know, the chatter is really giving me anxiety, so can we keep the chatter to a minimum?

00:34:13.000 And then he's like, guys, please.

00:34:15.000 And then all of a sudden someone starts huffing and puffing, gets up and goes, do not use gendered language!

00:34:20.000 You've not seen this?

00:34:21.000 No.

00:34:22.000 Oh man, well you've seen it.

00:34:23.000 I have.

00:34:23.000 I think a lot of people have seen it.

00:34:25.000 Unfortunately.

00:34:26.000 But the reason I bring this up, and if you haven't seen it, seriously look up the viral video from the Democratic Socialists.

00:34:31.000 You look at how these people behave, and I think it's fair to say they're not all there.

00:34:36.000 I'm not trying to be mean.

00:34:38.000 I'm not saying this to get an emotional reaction out of somebody, but they're clearly not with it.

00:34:44.000 What do you think then happens if you go to them and say, we should have no borders, right?

00:34:47.000 They're gonna be like, yes.

00:34:49.000 And then you're simultaneously gonna say, but we're working for the labor unions, right?

00:34:53.000 Yes.

00:34:53.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:34:54.000 Get people who are too dumb to recognize their contradictory ideas. 1.00

00:34:58.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:34:58.000 So this is what I don't get about Bernie Sanders. 1.00

00:35:00.000 I don't know what any of it means.

00:35:02.000 Right.

00:35:02.000 But they'll stand up and say, you know, John Smith, he, him, his.

00:35:05.000 It's like, thanks, I guess.

00:35:08.000 Whatever.

00:35:09.000 Sure, we'll keep the chatter down.

00:35:11.000 But it was it's it's it's really yeah, but then they don't this is really funny.

00:35:15.000 They don't keep it down Yeah, and then there's another like there's another clip where he gets up and he starts yelling again I already said keep the chatter to the minimum.

00:35:23.000 It is triggering to my anxiety Yeah, they're like it's it's it's like toddlers in adult bodies Yep, I see it all over the place So now we have basically an end to these policies.

00:35:38.000 This is the craziest thing to me.

00:35:39.000 I don't understand why there are so many conservatives trying to downplay what's going on or act like it's not happening.

00:35:43.000 It's like Trump is getting what he wants.

00:35:46.000 There was a new report that came out saying factories are coming back.

00:35:49.000 That's it.

00:35:49.000 Boom.

00:35:50.000 Good.

00:35:50.000 It's like a guillotine dropped and just sliced it in half.

00:35:53.000 Gotta come back.

00:35:54.000 All these people in the chats were like, Is Adam talking MAGA right now?

00:36:01.000 Maybe.

00:36:02.000 Maybe not.

00:36:02.000 I mean, jeez, I was!

00:36:05.000 A little bit, yeah.

00:36:07.000 I mean, there is something to be said about them having all of the factories, all of our medicine is made over there.

00:36:13.000 If it was made here, we would be stronger, wouldn't we?

00:36:17.000 We would.

00:36:17.000 It's a simple truth.

00:36:19.000 This is the weird politics that's happening right now.

00:36:21.000 Yeah.

00:36:22.000 Bernie Sanders.

00:36:23.000 I was a big fan of him back in like 2015 and 16.

00:36:25.000 You know why?

00:36:25.000 You know what Bernie Sanders was saying?

00:36:28.000 We need border security.

00:36:29.000 Yeah.

00:36:29.000 We need to fight for the working class.

00:36:32.000 He was talking about national populist positions that spoke to a lot of Americans.

00:36:36.000 Yeah.

00:36:36.000 And I'm like, this guy's right.

00:36:38.000 He was asked about Second Amendment.

00:36:39.000 Urban versus rural debate.

00:36:41.000 And I was like, wow.

00:36:42.000 Yeah.

00:36:43.000 That's legit, man.

00:36:43.000 That's it.

00:36:44.000 I've seen it.

00:36:45.000 And then all of a sudden, he starts getting closer and closer.

00:36:47.000 And what does he do?

00:36:49.000 I don't know, man.

00:36:49.000 That million dollars looks pretty good.

00:36:51.000 That fourth house?

00:36:53.000 That looks pretty good.

00:36:54.000 He's only got three.

00:36:55.000 He's only got three.

00:36:56.000 I'm just kidding.

00:36:57.000 Does he only have three?

00:36:57.000 He's got three houses!

00:37:00.000 Only three.

00:37:01.000 Come on.

00:37:02.000 Dude, that dude flipped so quick.

00:37:05.000 And now that's like the big thing right now.

00:37:08.000 The true progressives are like, no, Bernie.

00:37:10.000 We're not going to get behind you.

00:37:12.000 But that's what's crazy.

00:37:13.000 A lot of people don't seem to get it.

00:37:15.000 I disagreed a lot with Bernie's policies.

00:37:18.000 He put out something that said that they were going to pay for college by putting a tax on speculation on Wall Street.

00:37:25.000 And so I remember I was hanging out by 30 Rock, and there were some progressives.

00:37:29.000 They were talking about it, and they said that they supported him because he was going to, you know, free college and all that.

00:37:34.000 And I was like, yeah, but how do you pay for that?

00:37:36.000 Like, because you gotta realize, if you promise free college, then you've now got basically every single person eligible to go, which means the schools will fill up and then no one can go.

00:37:46.000 Right.

00:37:47.000 You need more schools.

00:37:48.000 Alright.

00:37:48.000 You need bigger schools.

00:37:49.000 You need more professors.

00:37:50.000 That's a lot of money you can't predict.

00:37:52.000 Right.

00:37:53.000 But let's say you do say it costs, you know, 75 trillion or some ridiculous number.

00:37:57.000 Where does it come from?

00:37:58.000 And this progressive guy was like, we're gonna tax Wall Street.

00:38:00.000 And I was like, I don't know what that means.

00:38:04.000 What do you tax?

00:38:05.000 And does he even know what that means?

00:38:07.000 He did not.

00:38:07.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:38:08.000 And so I asked him.

00:38:09.000 It's such a fluff piece.

00:38:11.000 It means nothing.

00:38:11.000 I was like, what do you mean by taxing Wall Street?

00:38:14.000 And he was like, you know, like stocks and stuff, they make all that money.

00:38:17.000 And I was like, do you know what most of those stocks are and where that money goes?

00:38:21.000 It's like people's 401ks and stuff.

00:38:23.000 It's not like, you know, they're day traders, they're speculation.

00:38:26.000 But most of what you see in, like, Wall Street trading is, like, pensions or something.

00:38:30.000 I don't know.

00:38:30.000 I don't know how it works.

00:38:31.000 And I was like, but it's not, like, you're assuming there's some, like, rich dude in, like, a pinstripe suit smoking a cigar making a million bucks.

00:38:38.000 Yeah, see?

00:38:39.000 Ha ha.

00:38:39.000 Yeah, that's all.

00:38:40.000 Or writing on the wall.

00:38:41.000 Right.

00:38:42.000 That was commissions and stuff.

00:38:43.000 Right.

00:38:43.000 And then his progressives started getting mad, saying, like, what do you mean?

00:38:47.000 Like, you don't know it's Wall Street, man.

00:38:48.000 They're making all this money.

00:38:49.000 And I was like, dude, do you even understand how trade volume works?

00:38:52.000 No, I don't.

00:38:54.000 Yeah, if you put a tax on a product, you increase the cost of the transaction, people might not make the transaction, you might not make any money at all.

00:39:00.000 So look, anyway, the point is, there are things about Bernie Sanders I completely disagreed with.

00:39:04.000 But there are a lot of points he made, and that's why so many people switched from Bernie to Trump, that's why they're probably gonna do it again.

00:39:09.000 Yep.

00:39:10.000 Although now, Bernie has tried to adopt, like, dude, a year ago, he was saying, what was he saying?

00:39:16.000 Like, there's too many poor people in the world, we can't have open borders. 0.99

00:39:19.000 Where does he go in the debate last month?

00:39:22.000 Decriminalize the border crossings.

00:39:25.000 Amnesty.

00:39:26.000 Jobs.

00:39:27.000 It's like you have completely abandoned everything.

00:39:30.000 Desperation.

00:39:31.000 Yeah, it's gotta be.

00:39:32.000 This is what bugs me out because it's like I was saying about the DSA and all that.

00:39:35.000 Their positions are completely contradictory.

00:39:38.000 Bernie did an interview with the New York Times and they said, you know, in 2015 you said illegal immigration reduces low-skill wages.

00:39:45.000 And he was like, yes, it absolutely does.

00:39:47.000 And they're like, so you admit it.

00:39:48.000 And then all of a sudden he got flack from the left again.

00:39:49.000 He had to, they're like, no, Bernie, you're wrong.

00:39:51.000 It doesn't.

00:39:52.000 It does.

00:39:53.000 We know it does.

00:39:53.000 This is what people need to realize about Bernie Sanders.

00:39:56.000 He's not consistent.

00:39:57.000 Yep.

00:39:57.000 It's not like a lot of people do that meme, no refunds.

00:40:00.000 He's supposed to be the consistent one, right?

00:40:02.000 The one who's been speaking the same thing for a long time until he got the major platform that he now has.

00:40:08.000 Sold a book.

00:40:09.000 And now he's changed.

00:40:12.000 He no longer says the millionaires.

00:40:13.000 Now he just says the billionaires.

00:40:15.000 He's in the club.

00:40:16.000 It's a big club.

00:40:17.000 You ain't in it.

00:40:18.000 Trump's been pretty consistent. 1.00

00:40:20.000 I mean, I gotta admit, Trump says stupid things a lot. 1.00

00:40:24.000 Like the most recent thing he said about having absolute power. 1.00

00:40:26.000 Nah, there's no excuse for that.

00:40:27.000 Or like, I can reopen the states.

00:40:29.000 Nah, you can't, dude.

00:40:30.000 I'm sorry.

00:40:31.000 But look, you know, the media screeches in his face All day, every day.

00:40:37.000 And it's like, I get it, man.

00:40:38.000 I get it.

00:40:39.000 Okay.

00:40:39.000 All right.

00:40:40.000 If people want to vote for the guy, then vote for the guy.

00:40:42.000 What bothers me is people coming out and acting like Bernie Sanders isn't in a similar position with his lying and his flip-flopping.

00:40:49.000 They're like, he's consistent.

00:40:49.000 I'm like, no, he's not.

00:40:51.000 You know, nobody says it.

00:40:53.000 But Trump's been talking about China and all this stuff for a really long time.

00:40:55.000 His position has been pretty, pretty straightforward.

00:40:58.000 But the main point I want to bring up is people are saying you're talking MAGA.

00:41:01.000 I'm like, no, I mean, yes, technically.

00:41:03.000 But Trump is a moderate.

00:41:08.000 I'm quoting Vox here, the left-wing progressive site.

00:41:12.000 So he runs and says, I want to do these basic things the Democrats used to campaign on.

00:41:16.000 I think what happened was Trump comes out as a Republican but offers up a moderate Democrat kind of position without the elitism and the ivory tower

00:41:26.000 kind of behaviors, you end up with a guy who's saying, secure our borders, America first,

00:41:31.000 repair our economy, bring back our jobs, protect the unions.

00:41:35.000 And I'm like, that sounds like a union worker, their positions on how the government should

00:41:41.000 be run.

00:41:42.000 Or like a Democrat from the 90s.

00:41:43.000 Yeah.

00:41:44.000 I mean, but even then you still had the elitist ivory tower Democrats.

00:41:47.000 Like, you look at these union guys, when the guy confronted Biden on the AR-15, like, these are union Democrat dudes.

00:41:54.000 And they're like, why do you want to take away my right to bear arms or whatever?

00:41:58.000 And Donald Trump says, I won't.

00:42:00.000 And all of a sudden you end up with a moderate guy.

00:42:02.000 Trump was pretty I don't know what the right way to describe it is, but pretty, let's say, fierce on key issues.

00:42:07.000 Yeah, he was. 0.99

00:42:08.000 Like, one of the things that I think was the stupidest thing he ever said was that Donald Trump was calling for a complete and total ban on Muslims entering the country or whatever. 0.99

00:42:13.000 It's like a statement from his campaign. 0.99

00:42:15.000 Yeah, I remember that.

00:42:16.000 I went back and I watched it.

00:42:17.000 He said some things that were absolutely worthy of criticism, but I think what happened was, if you come out, if you're Donald Trump, and you make yourself the villain, but then say something like, I want to secure the border, the Democrats then had no choice but to reject anything he ever proposed, which makes them seem insane.

00:42:34.000 It's almost like, you know Bizarro Superman?

00:42:37.000 Yeah.

00:42:37.000 Like, so there's Superman and he's all like- Like evil Superman?

00:42:40.000 He's not evil.

00:42:41.000 Oh, okay.

00:42:42.000 So, regular Superman is all, like, charming and chiseled and handsome.

00:42:45.000 Okay. 0.96

00:42:46.000 Bizarro is, like, underbite, really dumb, and he's, like, reverse Superman. 0.99

00:42:51.000 Okay. 0.98

00:42:51.000 Yeah, it's like, so he's, like, he's not necessarily evil, but everything's backwards. 0.98

00:42:55.000 Okay.

00:42:55.000 So he speaks in, like, opposites.

00:42:57.000 Okay.

00:42:57.000 That's what the Democrats have been doing.

00:42:59.000 It's like, you ever see that episode of Seinfeld?

00:43:00.000 Where George Costanza is like, today I'm gonna do everything the opposite of what I would normally do.

00:43:05.000 I have seen it, but I don't remember at all.

00:43:07.000 It's basically what the Democrats have been doing.

00:43:09.000 They're like, they're holding up a list of things Trump said he's for, and they must oppose. 0.87

00:43:13.000 So they end up being opposed to ridiculous things. 0.81

00:43:15.000 Yeah. 0.76

00:43:16.000 Yeah.

00:43:16.000 Anyway, we somehow- For things that actually do make sense.

00:43:19.000 Yeah.

00:43:19.000 Right.

00:43:19.000 That they should be like, you know what?

00:43:21.000 That's actually a good idea.

00:43:22.000 Okay.

00:43:23.000 We'll concede.

00:43:24.000 So is Adam talking MAGA?

00:43:25.000 No, no, no.

00:43:26.000 I'm not talking MAGA.

00:43:27.000 I'm talking MAG. 0.62

00:43:28.000 MAG?

00:43:29.000 M-A-G. 1.00

00:43:29.000 Make America Great, period. 1.00

00:43:32.000 Yeah.

00:43:32.000 Or greater.

00:43:33.000 Greater.

00:43:34.000 Yeah, make America greater.

00:43:35.000 Mug.

00:43:36.000 Mug.

00:43:36.000 I think is the best way to put it.

00:43:38.000 Because we are great.

00:43:40.000 And we could be better.

00:43:41.000 Let's be better.

00:43:42.000 But the narrative on the left is that America was never great.

00:43:44.000 That's literally what they say.

00:43:46.000 We're so spoiled.

00:43:49.000 Whoever is saying that out there, they're spoiled.

00:43:52.000 They have no idea.

00:43:54.000 That that frustrates me man. Yeah They have no idea how great America actually is

00:44:01.000 It's like you don't travel the world and and then come back and and tell them to go not travel Europe

00:44:07.000 Not not Europe go go to like Morocco. Yeah, go to go to like the China like I was in South Africa, right?

00:44:14.000 And I landed in Cape Town.

00:44:16.000 Beautiful place.

00:44:17.000 But then I had to travel for like an hour and a half outside.

00:44:20.000 And as soon as you get outside, there's no green grass anymore.

00:44:23.000 You know, it's like the favelas of Brazil, almost the same, you know?

00:44:27.000 Shady towns.

00:44:28.000 Yeah, they have to walk for water.

00:44:30.000 And it's like, you have no idea how great America is.

00:44:33.000 This place is amazing.

00:44:35.000 And we can make it better.

00:44:37.000 You know what China's doing right now? 0.98

00:44:38.000 What are they doing?

00:44:39.000 McDonald's.

00:44:40.000 Yes, what is up with this now?

00:44:42.000 Tell people a little bit what you heard. 0.99

00:44:43.000 Alright, well, man, China is crazy, man. 1.00

00:44:46.000 They're now basically saying black people are spreading the virus more than others. 1.00

00:44:53.000 And McDonald's is now saying you're not allowed in if you're black. 1.00

00:44:56.000 That's so messed up! 0.90

00:44:58.000 Do you have any idea what would happen to McDonald's if they did that in this country?

00:45:02.000 Goodbye, McDonald's. 0.93

00:45:04.000 I mean, I haven't eaten there in forever, but it's ridiculous.

00:45:07.000 Yeah, I wouldn't want to eat there. 0.97

00:45:08.000 That is so messed up.

00:45:10.000 If McDonald's handed out flyers banning people based on race, first, their stock price would drop by like 50% as soon as the news broke.

00:45:19.000 Everyone would sell all their stock.

00:45:22.000 I'm assuming they're publicly traded.

00:45:24.000 I don't know.

00:45:24.000 Whatever.

00:45:24.000 I don't know.

00:45:25.000 Then all of a sudden the federal government would immediately step in and issue a bunch

00:45:30.000 of fines.

00:45:31.000 They would be shut down in minutes.

00:45:33.000 McDonald's would disappear.

00:45:34.000 Totally.

00:45:35.000 It would disappear.

00:45:36.000 And I mean if they did it at a corporate level they did it.

00:45:40.000 I doubt it was at a corporate level.

00:45:42.000 It was probably like...

00:45:43.000 No, no, it was at a government level.

00:45:45.000 So, yeah, the Chinese government made them all do it, right?

00:45:49.000 Dude.

00:45:49.000 Man, the CCP virus, yo, that's it.

00:45:51.000 Americans, man, we got too many spoiled people. 0.98

00:45:56.000 Let's place the blame where it belongs.

00:45:58.000 Man, I wonder if, like, how do you restore that worldliness to some of these people?

00:46:02.000 It's no surprise that a lot of these people who are saying America was never great are city folk.

00:46:08.000 Yeah.

00:46:09.000 City folk are even more spoiled.

00:46:13.000 I was thinking about this when I lived in New York.

00:46:15.000 I'm standing in front of my apartment and I'm like, there's a sidewalk under my feet.

00:46:19.000 There's a park in front of my apartment.

00:46:21.000 There's a water fountain with fresh running water.

00:46:23.000 All of these things have always been here.

00:46:26.000 And not only that, I can have any kind of food I want.

00:46:30.000 To my doorstep.

00:46:31.000 With an app.

00:46:31.000 In 30 minutes.

00:46:32.000 Press a button.

00:46:33.000 Boop.

00:46:33.000 All of a sudden.

00:46:34.000 Most people in cities, they're ordering out.

00:46:37.000 I got one more for you.

00:46:38.000 Go on.

00:46:38.000 Not only can I have any food delivered to my doorstep, in New York City, I can press a button and get Venezuelan arepas delivered to my apartment while people in Venezuela are starving and can't even eat that food.

00:46:51.000 We have access to food from countries that can't even make the same food themselves.

00:46:55.000 That's mind-bending.

00:46:56.000 But here's the point I was making about this.

00:46:59.000 I'm looking at all these things that are just there.

00:47:01.000 I remember I was crossing the Williamsburg Bridge and I'm like, man, look at this massive bridge.

00:47:05.000 Had to cost the equivalent of like a billion dollars to make.

00:47:08.000 It's just there.

00:47:10.000 You never have to think twice about all the back-breaking labor that went into making that.

00:47:15.000 So what do you think's gonna happen then?

00:47:17.000 If you grow up in a city where this is your baseline, everything's just been handed to you.

00:47:23.000 Now compare that to going out in the middle of nowhere, maybe in the middle of Wyoming or Montana, and you're like, we're gonna live here.

00:47:30.000 Is there any water?

00:47:31.000 Nope.

00:47:31.000 Start digging.

00:47:32.000 You gotta dig yourself a well.

00:47:33.000 We're gonna put a pump. 0.88

00:47:34.000 Yup.

00:47:35.000 You need to go to the store?

00:47:36.000 30 miles.

00:47:37.000 Dude, I was driving through Wyoming.

00:47:39.000 Yeah.

00:47:40.000 And I had a full tank of gas.

00:47:42.000 We were like, stop, we got gas.

00:47:43.000 I was driving with my friend.

00:47:45.000 We drove for hundreds of miles without seeing a gas station.

00:47:47.000 I thought we were running out of gas.

00:47:48.000 And I'm like, well, that's it.

00:47:50.000 There's like nothing here.

00:47:51.000 We're out of gas.

00:47:51.000 I guess we're going to live here now.

00:47:52.000 Yep. This is life. It's nothing for hundreds of miles.

00:47:56.000 And then there was this little tiny shop with two gas pumps.

00:48:00.000 And I did not even realize there was a gas station till my friend was like,

00:48:02.000 look, pumps. And I was like, whoa.

00:48:04.000 And sure enough, I was like able to get gas and keep going.

00:48:07.000 People it's you live in these cities and that massive infrastructure is just there.

00:48:15.000 Yep.

00:48:15.000 It is.

00:48:16.000 They're standing on the shoulders of giants that they can't see.

00:48:19.000 Boom.

00:48:20.000 That's it.

00:48:21.000 You know, a lot of this, uh... See, what's the problem with Make America Great Again is I wasn't alive when it was supposedly great in what he was talking about back in, like, what was it, like, the 30s?

00:48:33.000 Reagan era or something?

00:48:34.000 The 50s, the 60s.

00:48:35.000 Like, I was born in the 80s, you know?

00:48:37.000 This is the life I know, and this is a good life that we have.

00:48:41.000 You know, man, you know, I think it is.

00:48:43.000 I think it's just have you actually had to work?

00:48:47.000 I mean, yeah, there was times where I had to buckle and work down, right?

00:48:50.000 I mean, have you gone through true hardship?

00:48:52.000 Have you have you seen what it's like to not be able to survive?

00:48:54.000 Have you had a loved ones, you know, suffer and struggle?

00:48:57.000 And yep, I had exactly many times.

00:49:00.000 And a lot of these a lot of these people.

00:49:02.000 So we see this in the data.

00:49:03.000 These these progressive activists tend to be Uh, college-educated, making more than $100,000 a year.

00:49:08.000 Yeah, and they're mostly white.

00:49:12.000 So it's really funny that they embody exactly what they complain about, but that makes sense.

00:49:16.000 Think about it.

00:49:17.000 You're this super wealthy, privileged, not necessarily super wealthy, but you're an upper-class, privileged, young, white, you know, low-T, soy boy or whatever, and you're looking around at all these wonderful things you have, and then you hear these stories about how bad things are, and you're like, mm, I blame people like me.

00:49:32.000 And the assumption they make is that every other white person must be just like them.

00:49:36.000 Right.

00:49:37.000 Instead of realizing 20 million poor people, white, in this country.

00:49:40.000 Right.

00:49:40.000 They assume it's, you know, everyone must be like me!

00:49:43.000 They must have the same experience as I do.

00:49:45.000 Of doing nothing.

00:49:47.000 For everything.

00:49:48.000 That's the other problem with college, too.

00:49:50.000 Is that, you know, one of the reasons I see them, they end up going to college, a lot of these people end up becoming permanent students.

00:49:56.000 Because they don't want to take any responsibility.

00:49:58.000 They're scared of it.

00:49:59.000 I know some people like that.

00:50:00.000 Totally.

00:50:01.000 Yep.

00:50:01.000 I know people who are like... They're still in school.

00:50:04.000 They're my age.

00:50:05.000 And they went to school right out of high school.

00:50:07.000 And they're still in school.

00:50:08.000 Don't gotta pay back those loans as long as you're in school.

00:50:10.000 And then you know what they do?

00:50:12.000 They vote for Bernie to forgive their, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans.

00:50:15.000 Yeah.

00:50:16.000 They took all this money, lived for free, refused to do any work, and that was it.

00:50:21.000 Now it's like, you pay for it.

00:50:24.000 I guess it's just, uh... I don't know what we do to solve that problem of them being spoiled.

00:50:29.000 Hard times.

00:50:30.000 Hard times.

00:50:31.000 That's the only way.

00:50:32.000 You know, Rahm Emanuel, when he got elected in Chicago, said something about mandatory basic training.

00:50:38.000 And I really do not like that idea at all.

00:50:41.000 For liberty reasons.

00:50:41.000 Yeah, I don't like mandatory anything.

00:50:44.000 Yeah, don't force me to do anything, but...

00:50:45.000 But I wonder if there is a better way to implement some kind of retreat or something you can do in school.

00:50:51.000 Oh, an ROTC class.

00:50:55.000 One semester.

00:50:57.000 You know, you're not in boot camp, but they're teaching the- I don't like high school mandatory either!

00:51:04.000 I don't know.

00:51:06.000 Make it a part of gym class.

00:51:08.000 I get what you're saying.

00:51:09.000 I don't want to be told how to live my life, but at the same time, if I structured my life better, I could probably get more things done than I do.

00:51:20.000 I could have a game podcast going.

00:51:22.000 People are asking me to do it, but I don't really structure my life in a way that I can just do that all the time.

00:51:29.000 I don't think that's as much an issue, though, like you not doing it.

00:51:32.000 Yeah, I guess I'm just bringing my own into it, but... I'm saying, like, these are people who think they don't recognize the wealth and privilege they have.

00:51:39.000 And it's a funny thing, they like to say... Exactly, that's my point.

00:51:42.000 They like to say that, you know, to the privileged, equality looks like oppression.

00:51:48.000 And I'm like, have you looked in a mirror, good sir?

00:51:50.000 Because you're describing yourself, not me.

00:51:52.000 When you complain, you know, as part of their philosophy, they literally believe that a black woman who's a millionaire is oppressed and a white person who's sleeping on the street is an oppressor.

00:52:03.000 It's actually a part of, like, the arguments have been made.

00:52:07.000 And, you know, it's funny, because when I try talking to some of the more rational progressives, they're like, no one really thinks that.

00:52:11.000 I'm like, dude, do you even listen to the priests of your religion?

00:52:16.000 They say this stuff all the time.

00:52:17.000 Yeah.

00:52:18.000 I get it.

00:52:19.000 There are progressives who don't, you know, entertain the silliness, but they ignore the rest of them that are actually pushing this stuff.

00:52:27.000 They have fringe ideas that make no sense.

00:52:30.000 And, you know, what's funny is, like, we talked about how as things get bad, they kind of disappear.

00:52:33.000 Yeah, well, they're starting to come back because things are getting better.

00:52:35.000 Things are getting better.

00:52:36.000 We'll see how it plays out.

00:52:37.000 You're right.

00:52:40.000 How do you make people not spoiled anymore?

00:52:42.000 That's the big challenge.

00:52:44.000 I don't like that you have to go to high school.

00:52:50.000 I don't like that you have to go to school, period. 1.00

00:52:52.000 I think that's stupid. 1.00

00:52:53.000 I think a one-size-fits-all government mandate for institutionalization of human beings is insane. 1.00

00:52:58.000 You got a point.

00:53:00.000 You got a good point.

00:53:00.000 What do you do?

00:53:01.000 What do you do, man?

00:53:02.000 Yeah, I mean, you know, Lydia was just like, hard times. 0.98

00:53:06.000 And it's like, right, the saying is hard times make strong men or something like that.

00:53:10.000 And I wasn't thinking of like a mandatory program.

00:53:12.000 I was thinking of the way we've been so privileged is going to cause hard times that we have no say in.

00:53:17.000 right so how do we how do we get get to the skip that you know like to skip like can we wake up before it's too late i don't know and we're all in hard times and we're realizing that america was really great i don't there's anything you can do you know i i've i've been around the world man i i the more i traveled The more I would come back proud to be an American.

00:53:39.000 And I would remember coming up to the checkpoint after being in some really messed up place.

00:53:46.000 And then I remember one guy was looking through my passport, and I got a ton of crazy stuff, like Arabic and whatever.

00:53:52.000 And he's like, man, what is this?

00:53:55.000 What's this country?

00:53:56.000 And I was like, I think that's Morocco or Egypt or something.

00:53:59.000 And he was like, you travel a lot, what for?

00:54:01.000 And I was like, I'm a journalist.

00:54:02.000 And he goes, hmm, how is it?

00:54:03.000 And I'm like, man, I am so glad to be back in this country, dude.

00:54:08.000 These young people who complain about America all day and night, they really don't get it.

00:54:12.000 When you get locked in a camp in China and they take your organs away. 0.77

00:54:15.000 When they kick out you or your friends because of the color of their skin.

00:54:19.000 When you go to these countries where they're speeding down streets afraid to stop at streetlights because someone's going to jump out with an AK or something.

00:54:26.000 And it's like, man, I've been, I've, and I haven't even been to the worst places in the world.

00:54:31.000 You know, I haven't been to like Syria or anything.

00:54:34.000 I did have some people try to get me to go, but even I'm like, dude, I know how bad it gets.

00:54:38.000 And I know people who've gone to these places.

00:54:40.000 I mean, I was in Fukushima.

00:54:41.000 So that's probably one of the craziest places I've ever been.

00:54:45.000 And I saw the destroyed gravestones.

00:54:48.000 I'll tell you what, man.

00:54:50.000 I went there.

00:54:51.000 The gravestones shattered.

00:54:53.000 And this guy telling us, like, this was his family's grave, and it's been destroyed, and the earthquake destroyed it.

00:54:59.000 Going to this guy's house, the calendar left at the day of the earthquake and the tsunami.

00:55:04.000 The clocks all stopped at that time.

00:55:07.000 And you realize, like, everything this guy's family was, everything he ever had, everything he ever cherished and loved, wiped out in an instant.

00:55:16.000 And you can only come back and take a glimpse of it.

00:55:18.000 And I'll tell you what's even crazier, the guides we had that brought us in, one of them died of cancer.

00:55:25.000 Wow.

00:55:25.000 That's the radiation.

00:55:26.000 That's how some people are, what they're dealing with right now.

00:55:29.000 But in America, we got poverty, we got crime, we got bad stuff.

00:55:32.000 Yeah.

00:55:32.000 But they really don't get how bad things could be.

00:55:34.000 Yeah.

00:55:35.000 Like, we saw this story the other day, rats are eating each other.

00:55:38.000 Yep.

00:55:39.000 You wanna see what humans are gonna do to each other when the food stops? 0.97

00:55:42.000 Nope.

00:55:42.000 You wouldn't even believe it.

00:55:43.000 Nope, don't wanna know.

00:55:44.000 I don't.

00:55:44.000 We don't wanna know, you're right.

00:55:46.000 But it's crazy, why is it that there's some people like us, we get it, and we're like, you know, we joke about how people fantasize about apocalypse, but they would never actually want it.

00:55:54.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:55:55.000 But you have all these people who are like, America is an evil colonialist empire.

00:55:59.000 And then they go to a farm for a few days and they're like, I wanna go home.

00:56:03.000 I wanna go be spoiled in the city.

00:56:05.000 Work is hard.

00:56:06.000 I have to make my own food?

00:56:08.000 Like, actually chop onions?

00:56:10.000 What?

00:56:12.000 It reminds me of, like, the caricature of nobility in Europe.

00:56:16.000 They're like, you know, foofy, like, frail and weak, and like... 1.00

00:56:21.000 Have the maid do it. 1.00

00:56:21.000 it I wouldn't ever pick up that tool and then you have like peasants just doing hard work and like 1.00

00:56:26.000 chopping down trees it really does feel like these people are just snooty nobles yeah you know and as

00:56:32.000 I hate to call them that because it makes them sound better than they are yeah but they really

00:56:37.000 it's it's almost like I don't know what you'd call it an excess of society

00:56:41.000 They do nothing to benefit society.

00:56:44.000 They think they're smarter and better.

00:56:45.000 They're not making anything, but they think they're entitled to everything.

00:56:49.000 That's nightmarish.

00:56:50.000 This reminds me so much of the French Revolution.

00:56:53.000 And we know how that ended.

00:56:54.000 So I'm sure that's not gonna happen.

00:56:56.000 No, it's the weirdo crazies who take over because they got nothing better to do.

00:57:00.000 And people who worked want to be left alone because they got work to do.

00:57:03.000 I don't know where this ends up, but I do know that we kind of went off on a fun wild ride.

00:57:08.000 Oh wow.

00:57:08.000 So why don't we, uh, we got a couple more segments.

00:57:10.000 Oh wow, that was a full hour.

00:57:12.000 Totally.

00:57:12.000 I mean, good conversation though.

00:57:13.000 Yeah, it was good.

00:57:14.000 Solid.

00:57:15.000 So, uh, the next segment we have for you, video games are getting banned in China.

00:57:19.000 Yep.

00:57:19.000 And I think this, you know, I'm going to be... Multiplayer games, specifically.

00:57:23.000 Right.

00:57:24.000 Not just, not just video games.

00:57:25.000 They don't, they don't really care about the video games, but...

00:57:28.000 I'm just gonna go for it.

00:57:30.000 I think this is a dangerous precursor to war.

00:57:35.000 I don't know if I agree with you there.

00:57:36.000 I'm not saying it will be for war, or that it'll lead to war, or that it's for war, but it's something that I think could contribute to dangerous escalation.

00:57:43.000 Actually, I think you're right, but a civil war.

00:57:46.000 This is them, yeah, because their citizens are getting pissed and are fed up with it.

00:57:51.000 I mean, we're seeing videos that are coming out and then these people get ghosted.

00:57:55.000 We'll say that.

00:57:56.000 We're gonna jump over to the Super Chats right now and then we're gonna have this debate over... So China's actually, yeah, they're banning video games.

00:58:03.000 But if you haven't already, make sure you hit the like button, because it really does help the channel.

00:58:07.000 Subscribe if you want to get more videos like this, and hit the notification bell.

00:58:11.000 But also jump in the Super Chat if you haven't.

00:58:12.000 I have to admit, I don't think we're going to be able to read everyone's Super Chat, but we are going to read many of them.

00:58:18.000 And so, let's just go for it.

00:58:20.000 Not a bad- and I also want to mention that the Super Chats are actually an hour old at this point, so there's always a time delay.

00:58:26.000 But thank you, everybody.

00:58:27.000 Totally.

00:58:28.000 Yeah, that seems to be what everyone thinks.

00:58:33.000 Just take away everyone's rights.

00:58:34.000 Sure!

00:58:34.000 But I will mention, because we were talking about this earlier today, If it came out from the government that the Chinese government exacerbated the problem, and then it came from a lab and it was confirmed, you'd probably see a bunch of people say like, yes sir, thank you sir, tell me what to do, we're in this together.

00:58:53.000 It's an accident, it's a pandemic, let's work together, it's not enough for people to rally.

00:58:57.000 It's like, you give them an enemy, they'll do it.

00:59:00.000 DarkRenji says, My 2018 taxes were filed, but I didn't receive my money.

00:59:04.000 Well, friends did.

00:59:05.000 Any ideas why?

00:59:05.000 It's coming in waves.

00:59:07.000 That's my understanding.

00:59:08.000 Your Trump bucks may come.

00:59:09.000 Just be patient.

00:59:11.000 JohnRisenGeneration says, I second what someone sent yesterday.

00:59:14.000 Watch Max Durat's video on MGS2, but also watch the Deus Ex one.

00:59:19.000 I'd love to see a podcast discussion about it.

00:59:21.000 That was cool.

00:59:22.000 We'll check it out.

00:59:22.000 You want to take a note?

00:59:23.000 Yep, taking a note.

00:59:25.000 Redbeard says, do you think the doomsday clock will get moved up?

00:59:29.000 I'm reminded of the quote from Watchmen, when Dr. Manhattan is asked about the doomsday clock being moved to five minutes from midnight.

00:59:37.000 And he says something funny like, a fictional clock being changed is no more soothing than a drowning man seeing a picture of oxygen or something.

00:59:48.000 I can't remember exactly what the quote was, but it's really well done.

00:59:51.000 And it's like, the Doomsday Clock was made up by someone because of their opinion, and moving it is someone else's opinion.

00:59:57.000 It means literally nothing to anyone.

00:59:59.000 Yeah.

01:00:00.000 I write Tim and Adam fanfic.

01:00:01.000 Ooh, here we go.

01:00:02.000 What's this?

01:00:02.000 Oh, geez.

01:00:03.000 Creepy Joe Biden grinned as Adam and Tim were bound and gagged.

01:00:07.000 No, no, no!

01:00:10.000 He prepared to harvest their ballots when suddenly Trump pounced, striking down the violator with his katana and saving their purity.

01:00:20.000 And Trump was wearing a fedora and a duster.

01:00:22.000 Yes.

01:00:23.000 Oh my gosh.

01:00:24.000 Ruslan says China must be punished for this.

01:00:27.000 And I wonder how.

01:00:28.000 You know, how.

01:00:29.000 Right, how.

01:00:29.000 Spice says, do you think we can say Voldemort yet?

01:00:32.000 Also, I really appreciate your content.

01:00:34.000 For those that aren't familiar, Voldemort is the name of a CIA agent.

01:00:36.000 I'm not allowed to say his name.

01:00:39.000 So no, we can't say his name.

01:00:40.000 Yeah, no.

01:00:41.000 Cordomalti says, Tim Pool, more like Tim Cool.

01:00:44.000 Am I right?

01:00:44.000 Yeah.

01:00:45.000 You know it.

01:00:46.000 Am I right?

01:00:46.000 Nice.

01:00:47.000 I felt like someone had to do that.

01:00:48.000 Yeah.

01:00:49.000 I know.

01:00:49.000 Graf von Tirol says, I just realized the same WHO director named Robert Mugabe as Goodwill

01:00:54.000 Ambassador in 2017, and Nancy Pelosi takes his organization's side?

01:00:59.000 Sheesh.

01:01:00.000 It's almost like their opinions aren't real.

01:01:02.000 When they're like, World Health Organization is good.

01:01:04.000 What are you talking about?

01:01:05.000 Nobody agrees.

01:01:06.000 I just see a bunch of robots.

01:01:07.000 Right.

01:01:08.000 Totally.

01:01:09.000 Nancy Pelosi is a robot to me. 0.99

01:01:12.000 She is programmed.

01:01:13.000 What if China was secretly building androids?

01:01:15.000 Maybe.

01:01:16.000 And they've been deployed.

01:01:17.000 And they're all robots!

01:01:18.000 I'm kidding.

01:01:19.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:01:22.000 Ceylon Blue says, China bans online gaming with foreigners after Animal Crossing was used to promote Hong Kong.

01:01:28.000 That's what we'll be talking about next.

01:01:31.000 Captain Sugar says, there's a difference between knowing and being absolutely sure.

01:01:34.000 Guy Sensei.

01:01:37.000 Lee Van Cleef says, Tim, Adam, Lydia, do any of you believe that you have the qualifications to exercise free will, your values, ideas, even your personality?

01:01:44.000 Are they yours or just a product of the mindless masses?

01:01:48.000 I absolutely have free will.

01:01:49.000 Me too.

01:01:51.000 The idea I've brought up before about this is that You know, it's the it was a simulation theory I mentioned where we're either you could be in a single player game where you are the only free will actor, right?

01:02:01.000 You could be in an MMO where there are some free will and some not.

01:02:04.000 And then you can be in you know, just like the world is normal.

01:02:07.000 Everyone's got free will and you know, it's hard to you'll never know because you can't experience someone else's consciousness.

01:02:13.000 That's true.

01:02:14.000 I just watched a documentary about that.

01:02:16.000 But I can tell you that I do find the debate fascinating, determinism versus free will,

01:02:24.000 that everything about you is predetermined based upon what happened before.

01:02:27.000 If that's true, we should be able to see the future very easily.

01:02:32.000 With enough computational power, we should be able to actually map out every possible variable in how the universe forms.

01:02:39.000 So we're not there yet.

01:02:40.000 I'd imagine it would take a ridiculous and insane amount of energy to actually compute something like that.

01:02:45.000 But I'm not entirely convinced.

01:02:47.000 I think that there is something unique and divine within all of us that allows us some kind of... You know, we control.

01:02:54.000 We do.

01:02:55.000 I believe in free will.

01:02:56.000 Yep, I agree.

01:02:57.000 But I think it's... I could put this beanie on with my free will, or I can choose to not put it on and leave it right there.

01:03:05.000 You could do something... It's up to me.

01:03:08.000 You could do something totally, totally ridiculous. 0.99

01:03:11.000 Now here's the thing. 0.99

01:03:12.000 If you put that beanie on, people might say, well, it's because you were self-conscious.

01:03:15.000 You took it off, same thing.

01:03:17.000 But what if you cut it up into a million pieces?

01:03:20.000 They'd be like, the beanie!

01:03:23.000 You could do something right now that would make no sense, and that's why I'm more inclined to believe in free will.

01:03:28.000 Yeah, I could pick the earth up and just throw it against the wall.

01:03:32.000 I mean, it wouldn't make sense.

01:03:33.000 You wouldn't do it because it's a net negative and doesn't do anything for you, but you could.

01:03:37.000 I could.

01:03:38.000 And that's why I believe in free will.

01:03:40.000 Because I could absolutely just flip this table over and storm out and never do another show again.

01:03:44.000 I don't know.

01:03:44.000 It's a pretty heavy table.

01:03:46.000 Well, I could, you know, knock it over.

01:03:47.000 You could cause trouble.

01:03:47.000 I'm confident.

01:03:48.000 I could cause trouble.

01:03:49.000 You can cause trouble, yeah.

01:03:51.000 Wait for after the show.

01:03:52.000 I've made this point to people where it's like, you could choose to do something that makes no sense and is completely out of character.

01:03:58.000 Like, literally no sense.

01:04:00.000 And sure, you can still argue it's a product of who you are and how you're developed, but, you know, I mostly like the idea of free speech.

01:04:07.000 Haru Glory says, You're so sexy, Tim.

01:04:10.000 I appreciate it, but it's Y-O-U-R-E with an apostrophe.

01:04:14.000 Yeah, the wrong you're.

01:04:16.000 I'm sorry.

01:04:17.000 Pickle for... It's the internet.

01:04:19.000 We're always going to point out your bad grammar.

01:04:20.000 You have to correct that.

01:04:21.000 Yeah, it's true.

01:04:22.000 Pickle for Sanity says, So I have a question that always gets some good conversation.

01:04:26.000 When wiping, sit or stand?

01:04:27.000 And for TP, fold or wrap and why?

01:04:30.000 We're going to skip that question, but for those of you in the comments, feel free to have some fun.

01:04:35.000 You know, perhaps... Go ahead, what were you going to say?

01:04:37.000 I was going to say, perhaps in the context of Amber Heard, this question would make more sense, sitting or standing.

01:04:42.000 There's this YouTube show called 100 Humans, and they actually make them do random things, and one of them was to show us how you poop.

01:04:52.000 Like, show us what you do.

01:04:53.000 You know, just to see, like, how many people do the over or under, you know, when they put the thing on there.

01:04:59.000 Like, wipe front to back, back to front.

01:05:01.000 It's like, it's kind of hilarious.

01:05:04.000 And I'm not going to answer this question, but go watch that show because it's pretty funny.

01:05:08.000 I'm not interested in talking about my personal life.

01:05:11.000 I am interested in talking about Amber Heard, though.

01:05:13.000 I don't want to talk about her anymore.

01:05:14.000 When she was standing on top of Johnny Depp's bed.

01:05:17.000 Squatting.

01:05:17.000 With witnesses.

01:05:18.000 Did she have to sit down?

01:05:20.000 With witnesses.

01:05:21.000 That's what blows me away.

01:05:22.000 Plural.

01:05:23.000 Alright, that's enough.

01:05:24.000 Let's go.

01:05:25.000 El Santiago says, Hey Tim, are you a fan of Gundam Wing?

01:05:27.000 I want to donate the poster I made.

01:05:29.000 I do freelance illustration as my side hustle.

01:05:31.000 No anime or comic convention happening soon, so business is kind of slow to me.

01:05:35.000 I've never been a very big Gundam Wing fan, though I know what it is.

01:05:39.000 Funny enough, Google once banned Gundam Wing because Gun was in the name.

01:05:45.000 Oh my gosh.

01:05:45.000 Are you kidding me?

01:05:46.000 I kid you not.

01:05:47.000 Have you seen Ready Player One?

01:05:48.000 Yeah.

01:05:49.000 You know when he pulls the big huge Gundam suit?

01:05:52.000 And he turns into the massive Gundam.

01:05:54.000 I barely remember.

01:05:56.000 It's an amazing scene.

01:05:57.000 You know, I'm not a big fan of the giant robot anime stuff.

01:06:01.000 Okay.

01:06:01.000 Like, I get it.

01:06:02.000 You know, whatever.

01:06:03.000 Nah.

01:06:04.000 I like the more martial arts anime stuff.

01:06:06.000 Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto, Dragon Ball Z. Well, what about Power Rangers?

01:06:10.000 That's like the perfect mashup of both.

01:06:12.000 Oh, man.

01:06:14.000 Power Rangers.

01:06:15.000 Hey, I was actually, I think I'm like nine years old, and I watched Power Rangers as a kid.

01:06:21.000 I think I watched some of it, but I never really... It's a jump around the couch, jump off, high kick.

01:06:25.000 Remember Beetleborgs?

01:06:27.000 Yeah.

01:06:28.000 No, what are they?

01:06:29.000 I do.

01:06:30.000 What is it?

01:06:31.000 It was the weirdest show.

01:06:32.000 These little kids, like a comic book came to life or something, and then they got Beetleborg power as the weirdest thing.

01:06:39.000 I don't know, it didn't make sense, but it was kind of like Power Rangers.

01:06:41.000 on their VR troopers.

01:06:43.000 They kept trying to make a bunch of knockoffs of Power Rangers.

01:06:47.000 But then Power Rangers kept like, Power Rangers Neon, Power Rangers Ninjas or whatever.

01:06:53.000 I never watched any of those.

01:06:54.000 I watched the OG one.

01:06:56.000 The OG one?

01:06:57.000 OG, yeah.

01:06:58.000 With Bulk and Skull?

01:06:59.000 Yeah.

01:07:00.000 I think they're going to be making a new Power Rangers movie.

01:07:02.000 Did you see that short film with, what's her name?

01:07:07.000 Who's in it?

01:07:08.000 I forget her name.

01:07:09.000 She was Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica.

01:07:10.000 I need a little bit more.

01:07:12.000 There's a new show that she's on? 0.89

01:07:14.000 Another Life?

01:07:14.000 They did a short film.

01:07:16.000 Oh, okay.

01:07:16.000 Where it was like the Power Rangers but in the future.

01:07:18.000 And it's like super gritty and really dark.

01:07:21.000 Oh, cool.

01:07:21.000 It was really good.

01:07:22.000 Hera of Thrace.

01:07:22.000 Sounds better.

01:07:23.000 No.

01:07:25.000 That's what they were calling Starbuck, but I don't know.

01:07:28.000 Some other chick. 1.00

01:07:29.000 Did you watch Battlestar Galactica?

01:07:31.000 The new one?

01:07:31.000 The new one, yeah.

01:07:32.000 Yeah.

01:07:32.000 It was good.

01:07:32.000 Amazing.

01:07:33.000 I watched it, too.

01:07:33.000 Oh, dude, I binged the whole thing.

01:07:34.000 It was an amazing show.

01:07:35.000 Really good show.

01:07:35.000 All right, let's read some more.

01:07:38.000 The Chef says, Tim, Hoaxed was wonderful.

01:07:40.000 10 out of 10.

01:07:40.000 It was great seeing you in it.

01:07:42.000 I had a good time being in it.

01:07:43.000 And there were some people in it I disagree with.

01:07:46.000 There were some people in it I agreed with.

01:07:47.000 But for the most part, I provided my opinion and commentary to someone who asked for it.

01:07:51.000 Perfect.

01:07:51.000 And of course, Amazon purged it.

01:07:53.000 Of course.

01:07:54.000 Amazing.

01:07:55.000 I don't know anything about that.

01:07:56.000 says, can you talk about WWE firing numerous wrestlers after being declared essential?

01:08:01.000 Also Vince McMahon lying about WWE having a stake in the XFL.

01:08:05.000 I don't know anything about that.

01:08:06.000 I don't know anything about that either.

01:08:08.000 I do know that Donald Trump is in the WWE Hall of Fame and he's our president.

01:08:15.000 Crossover.

01:08:16.000 Love it.

01:08:16.000 Yeah.

01:08:17.000 Yep.

01:08:17.000 That's cool.

01:08:18.000 LaSalle Rhymes says, Happy hump day guys, you know it.

01:08:21.000 Alex Bucci says, Love you guys, have some money.

01:08:24.000 Oh, we will, thank you.

01:08:25.000 Thank you.

01:08:26.000 Dave Inspiration says, Did Epstein neck bones break a week before he died?

01:08:29.000 He was found unconscious on the first attempt.

01:08:31.000 Whether he did it or not, I don't know.

01:08:33.000 No idea.

01:08:34.000 Sion says, Good day guys, hope you're good.

01:08:37.000 Greetings from Australia, land of the crazy.

01:08:39.000 You are quickly becoming a part of my morning routine.

01:08:41.000 Keep up the good work.

01:08:41.000 Morning!

01:08:42.000 Morning routine.

01:08:43.000 Good morning to you.

01:08:44.000 Yeah, it's tonight for us.

01:08:45.000 Yeah.

01:08:46.000 That's great.

01:08:46.000 Dark Fox says, Minnesota's protest is tomorrow at noon.

01:08:50.000 From the Capitol to the governor's mansion.

01:08:51.000 Yeah, there's a ton of protests happening.

01:08:53.000 Yes, there are.

01:08:54.000 This is what I tell people, it's like a Chinese finger trap. 1.00

01:08:56.000 The government thinks, I know we'll lock everything down with harsh draconian laws, that'll stop

01:09:00.000 it, and then makes everything worse.

01:09:01.000 Right.

01:09:02.000 People are like, you can't do that to us, we're coming out.

01:09:05.000 Yep, and South Dakota won't do it.

01:09:08.000 The governor keeps saying, I'm not going to lock down, I'm not going to do it.

01:09:10.000 And they're being dragged, the governor is being attacked by people.

01:09:14.000 But probably not South Dakotans.

01:09:17.000 No, definitely not.

01:09:17.000 Right.

01:09:18.000 Maybe some.

01:09:19.000 They're states.

01:09:20.000 Here's the thing, if you get a problem with no lockdown, you can stay home.

01:09:25.000 Right.

01:09:26.000 You don't have to tell other people to do.

01:09:30.000 One says, if you don't like us and think we are terrible, share us anyway and annoy your friends.

01:09:34.000 That's a really good point you made.

01:09:36.000 If you think we are awful, then share us to annoy your friends.

01:09:41.000 Tell them to come and tell us how awful we are.

01:09:44.000 Yeah, we can handle it.

01:09:46.000 Church FDC says, hey Tim, I emailed you about the animated video you talked about last week.

01:09:49.000 I just wanted to make sure you knew.

01:09:51.000 Animated video, which one?

01:09:52.000 Was that the guy who was talking to you about animating for you?

01:09:54.000 No.

01:09:55.000 No?

01:09:55.000 No, no, no.

01:09:55.000 He said I mentioned an animated video.

01:09:57.000 I can't remember.

01:09:57.000 Oh, I don't know.

01:09:58.000 Fearless Soldier says, Adam, wondering if you got my tweets about Tony Hawk doing All In Challenge 1, how Pix11 was reporting about 12-day-old info to smear the press, and I asked if you are playing Warzone.

01:10:11.000 I'm not sure if I caught that one, but I'll dig through my tweets, see if I can.

01:10:17.000 But I don't know anything about that, so... Okay.

01:10:19.000 I'm really digging into it, you know?

01:10:21.000 When Soy Jesus shaves his face, it makes him look like both the child and the adult. 0.95

01:10:26.000 Okay. I'm really digging into it, you know, trying to get into character.

01:10:32.000 No. Justin says, what would a war with China look like?

01:10:36.000 A lot of power plants would probably explode because we have these really old industrial

01:10:43.000 facilities that are extremely weak to cyber attacks. Okay.

01:10:46.000 Now, we may have gone and secured them over the past couple of years.

01:10:50.000 Yeah, retrofitted them.

01:10:51.000 Right, but really old, really basic technology controlling a lot of these things, easily exploitable.

01:10:57.000 It's one of the disadvantages to inventing things.

01:11:00.000 So these other countries, when they finally get around to implementing, say, like cellular technology.

01:11:05.000 This actually happened in a lot of countries.

01:11:07.000 We invent cell phones, and then by the time another country starts developing their infrastructure, the technology's already advanced.

01:11:13.000 So their initial infrastructure is better than ours.

01:11:16.000 So we still operate on really old infrastructure that needs to be updated.

01:11:21.000 A lot of countries don't.

01:11:22.000 It's why there's two different standards.

01:11:24.000 It's mostly merging.

01:11:25.000 There's like the CDMA and the GSM standard.

01:11:28.000 So the US still has networks that use something called CDMA.

01:11:32.000 I think for the most part it's phased out.

01:11:33.000 Like we're all doing now with like 5G and LTE stuff.

01:11:36.000 It's all synchronizing under the GSM.

01:11:39.000 But this was a direct result of us finding like a decent technology.

01:11:45.000 It did really well.

01:11:46.000 But then other countries got the update and didn't need it.

01:11:49.000 Right.

01:11:49.000 So.

01:11:50.000 Kevin Kevin says, shout out to my brother Keith.

01:11:52.000 He looked like Soy Jesus. 0.93

01:11:54.000 Amazing.

01:11:55.000 Right.

01:11:55.000 Fearless Soldier says, all in challenge.

01:11:57.000 Not all, uh, all in challenge one.

01:11:59.000 All in challenge.

01:12:00.000 What is it?

01:12:00.000 I don't know what that is.

01:12:01.000 Yeah, the all in challenge.

01:12:02.000 I feel like I've seen other people posting about this.

01:12:05.000 Tony Hawk is on Vans now.

01:12:07.000 I saw that.

01:12:08.000 That's crazy.

01:12:08.000 I don't think it's that crazy.

01:12:10.000 I kind of do.

01:12:12.000 What was he on before?

01:12:13.000 I don't even know what shoe he was riding for before.

01:12:16.000 I remember seeing videos of him as a young kid wearing Vans.

01:12:21.000 Yeah, he's the skateboarder.

01:12:23.000 Vans are what I've been wearing for a long time.

01:12:25.000 I actually recently just got Etnies because they make vegan skate shoes and they're pretty great.

01:12:31.000 I'm pretty happy with them.

01:12:32.000 Impressive.

01:12:33.000 John says, PSA, please everyone, let your friends and family know, do not wait to go to the ER for emergencies.

01:12:39.000 People have waited out of fear with stroke and other time-critical emergencies.

01:12:42.000 That's very good advice.

01:12:43.000 Agreed.

01:12:44.000 Amansal says, Trump just threatened to suspend Congress.

01:12:46.000 What?

01:12:47.000 Did he really?

01:12:47.000 Is that?

01:12:47.000 Can you Google that?

01:12:48.000 He threatened to suspend both houses, I believe.

01:12:51.000 Hold on.

01:12:51.000 What?

01:12:52.000 Yeah, he did.

01:12:53.000 Are you serious?

01:12:54.000 No.

01:12:54.000 Just now?

01:12:54.000 This just happened?

01:12:55.000 Yeah, just during the time we've been in the show, I think.

01:12:57.000 What?

01:12:57.000 If Donald Trump tries to suspend Congress, I will grab a picket sign and I will be marching down to DC.

01:13:06.000 He threatened to adjourn both chambers of Congress.

01:13:08.000 What does that mean?

01:13:09.000 I don't know.

01:13:10.000 Like go home for the day?

01:13:11.000 Pause it for a while.

01:13:12.000 I don't like that either.

01:13:13.000 No, you can't do that.

01:13:14.000 Put a pause on it for a minute.

01:13:16.000 Can't they just be like, nope.

01:13:19.000 Yeah, there's no one branch stronger than the other.

01:13:23.000 I would not stand for that in any capacity.

01:13:25.000 That doesn't make any sense.

01:13:26.000 But we gotta definitely look into that.

01:13:27.000 That's crazy.

01:13:28.000 For sure.

01:13:28.000 Yeah, that's interesting.

01:13:29.000 Adjourn them?

01:13:31.000 Nuh-uh.

01:13:31.000 A sneak peek into tomorrow's show.

01:13:34.000 Let them prove all of the crazy Trump derangement syndrome people right by pulling that off.

01:13:38.000 Because I'll be standing next to them screaming like, you can't do that, bro. 0.99

01:13:40.000 Yeah, that's nuts.

01:13:41.000 I can sit here and talk about all these governors violating the Constitution.

01:13:44.000 I have no problem pointing the finger at Trump when he tries pulling that off too.

01:13:48.000 The National Constitution Center noted that, quote, no president has ever exercised that authority. 1.00

01:13:54.000 It was the stupidest thing he could have said. 0.99

01:13:55.000 Yeah, why would you say that? 1.00

01:13:56.000 Because he wants the TDS people to have ammunition against them.

01:14:00.000 But you know what?

01:14:01.000 If he proves them right, he proves them right.

01:14:03.000 There you go.

01:14:03.000 That's on him.

01:14:04.000 He can say it, whatever.

01:14:05.000 That's crazy.

01:14:06.000 That's crazy, man.

01:14:07.000 Thanks for letting us know.

01:14:08.000 Dude, the meltdown of what's happening in this country is starting to freak me out.

01:14:13.000 And I'm not specifically referring to Trump. 0.99

01:14:15.000 But when he said, you know, I have total authority or whatever, it's like, oh, shut up, dude. 0.99

01:14:19.000 You know you don't. 0.99

01:14:21.000 Whatever, man.

01:14:22.000 All these governors are doing all this crazy stuff.

01:14:23.000 The last thing we need is the president to jump on board, too.

01:14:26.000 It's like, everybody needs to chill out.

01:14:27.000 I don't care who you are, man.

01:14:29.000 You start taking a dump on the Constitution, you're gonna hear me yell about it.

01:14:33.000 Well, we'll look into that one, because I assure you, I'm going to read that and I'm going to start screeching into my microphone.

01:14:39.000 You'll see me getting triggered.

01:14:41.000 Let's see.

01:14:41.000 Sir, I can't read your name, says China going to pay what they owe.

01:14:46.000 Nathan Rainer says Virginia governor pushed through gun control bill during lockdown.

01:14:50.000 You see, this is what I'm talking about.

01:14:51.000 Same thing.

01:14:52.000 Same thing. 1.00

01:14:54.000 All of these people are just so awful. 0.99

01:14:56.000 I agree.

01:14:56.000 I mean, have you tried turning it off and on again?

01:14:59.000 it take for MSM to get back to its roots and begin to actually report facts and ask legitimate

01:15:03.000 questions again?

01:15:04.000 Ugh.

01:15:05.000 I mean, have you tried turning it off and on again?

01:15:09.000 Like let them all go bankrupt and then build from the ground up?

01:15:12.000 Yeah.

01:15:13.000 Well it's like when the air traffic controllers threatened to strike and President Reagan

01:15:16.000 was like, you're fired.

01:15:17.000 Bye.

01:15:18.000 And he started from scratch.

01:15:20.000 You know one of my favorite memes is V for V for Vendetta and he's got a headset with a microphone on and it says, your government is doing what?

01:15:27.000 Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

01:15:29.000 I'm like, yes.

01:15:32.000 I mean, yeah.

01:15:32.000 It's so weird that these memes back in like 2011 and 2012 were very much just libertarian.

01:15:38.000 It didn't matter if you were left or right, it was like you were anti-establishment, you believed in freedom and liberty.

01:15:43.000 But now many of these activists have joined the authoritarian wing.

01:15:46.000 It's like, I don't, it's, they're probably cheering for like these lockdowns.

01:15:50.000 They are, they're defending them.

01:15:51.000 It's nuts.

01:15:53.000 Jason Allen says, with news coming out about the virus coming from a lab in Wuhan, what do you think Trump's public reaction will be?

01:15:59.000 I think so far they've said, well, we're looking at it, we don't know for sure.

01:16:03.000 And I think the reason they're saying it is because if they came out and said, yup, then the public would demand a reaction.

01:16:09.000 Right.

01:16:09.000 A response of some sort.

01:16:10.000 So.

01:16:12.000 Let's see.

01:16:13.000 Josh Clark says, China tries to prove it's better than the U.S., fails so hard it starts a worldwide pandemic. 0.92

01:16:19.000 That's what the news is reporting right now.

01:16:22.000 White Knight says Dan Crenshaw deserves an apology.

01:16:24.000 Apology for what?

01:16:25.000 I mean, Dan's cool.

01:16:26.000 He's been ragged on for a lot of things.

01:16:28.000 Yeah.

01:16:29.000 Ah, the beanie's back.

01:16:31.000 Timothy E. says, I don't think U.S.

01:16:33.000 beats China in a war. 0.84

01:16:34.000 We have ridiculous rules of engagement, they don't care.

01:16:37.000 Same reason Vietnam and Middle East wars were so bad.

01:16:40.000 I've heard that.

01:16:41.000 I also think that as the U.S.

01:16:42.000 gets more and more desperate, you'll see people not caring about any rules.

01:16:46.000 Like, the fact that we have rules of engagement are due to the fact that we're wealthy and privileged.

01:16:50.000 Yep, that's true.

01:16:50.000 But when we're actually under threat, someone's gonna sit back and be like, the rules be damned, and he's gonna press the button.

01:16:59.000 There we go.

01:16:59.000 And the world doesn't exist anymore.

01:17:00.000 I'm not convinced there will be.

01:17:02.000 But if escalation gets worse, then don't be surprised if it does.

01:17:05.000 I have not heard that.

01:17:06.000 I'm not convinced there will be.

01:17:08.000 But if escalation gets worse, then don't be surprised if it does.

01:17:11.000 Jeb Reid says YouTube is getting investigated currently by the FBI.

01:17:14.000 I have not heard that.

01:17:15.000 Wow.

01:17:16.000 I didn't know that.

01:17:17.000 Travis Potter says, do you guys believe these lockdowns, which some violate the Constitution,

01:17:20.000 are acceptable?

01:17:22.000 What do you think is the best form of protest against them while trying to stay safe?

01:17:25.000 You know, I don't believe in them. 0.97

01:17:26.000 I think they've gone nuts.

01:17:28.000 And I like the idea of what a lot of these conservatives did with their cars. 0.72

01:17:32.000 They kept their doors and windows up, and they just formed a traffic jam and started honking like crazy.

01:17:36.000 And I'm like, that's actually impressive.

01:17:38.000 You know why?

01:17:38.000 They're still in quarantine, and they're protesting.

01:17:41.000 One person in a car takes up way more space than one person on the street.

01:17:44.000 It's true.

01:17:45.000 So you actually see this massive traffic jam, and it's like, that's not even that many people, and that's a huge impact.

01:17:50.000 You get 50 people in the middle of an intersection, and they get rounded up and arrested right away.

01:17:53.000 Yeah.

01:17:54.000 You get 50 people in cars, and those cars are jammed everywhere.

01:17:56.000 They can't get those cars out, man.

01:17:57.000 That's a really good point.

01:17:59.000 I'm not advocating for it.

01:18:00.000 I'm just saying that's what they've been doing.

01:18:01.000 It's an idea.

01:18:02.000 Yeah.

01:18:04.000 Let's see.

01:18:04.000 The Hylian says, This was just viral marketing for the Resident Evil 3 remake.

01:18:10.000 They did a great job.

01:18:11.000 Got everyone on lockdown.

01:18:12.000 The video game industry says, you know, coming up.

01:18:14.000 Excellent.

01:18:16.000 Alex V says, What would be more embarrassing for the far left?

01:18:19.000 AOC losing or AOC becoming mainstream to keep her seat? 0.97

01:18:22.000 The second one.

01:18:22.000 Which she's doing.

01:18:24.000 She's going to, like, endorse Joe Biden or something.

01:18:27.000 She kind of halfway did.

01:18:28.000 Right, right, right.

01:18:30.000 WolfSpain says, I don't remember if you mentioned this in an earlier segment, but China has been pushing blame to minorities for spreading the virus.

01:18:36.000 And where is the left to call this out?

01:18:38.000 Hypocrisy at its worst. 0.76

01:18:39.000 I know!

01:18:40.000 How is it that I've come out with multiple videos complaining about this?

01:18:43.000 How is no one talking about this?

01:18:45.000 Where are the social justice warriors when there's literally social justice stuff happening?

01:18:51.000 And it's like, crickets.

01:18:52.000 All I hear is crickets. 0.99

01:18:54.000 Maybe it's because they're Chinese trolls. 0.99

01:18:56.000 Maybe. 1.00

01:18:56.000 China! 1.00

01:18:57.000 Is this like Russian bots 2.0?

01:18:58.000 Well, maybe the people claiming the Russian bots were actually Chinese people claiming that Americans were Russians.

01:19:05.000 Oh gosh.

01:19:06.000 Oh man.

01:19:07.000 Oh yeah.

01:19:07.000 China!

01:19:07.000 We go deeper into the hole.

01:19:09.000 Oh man.

01:19:09.000 Yeah.

01:19:10.000 Rye says, Tim, the channel called Epoch Times recently has shown on my ads.

01:19:15.000 Do you know if they're reliable?

01:19:16.000 How do you check your sources?

01:19:17.000 So I use a third-party service called NewsGuard.

01:19:20.000 They're a group of journalists that rate news agencies.

01:19:23.000 I think they're very biased, but I don't think they're the absolute worst.

01:19:27.000 Now, they give Epoch Times, I think, a bad rating, because Epoch Times is very, very biased against China, and I think they're moderately pro-Trump, only in the sense that Trump is anti-China.

01:19:39.000 I don't have an issue with biased reporting, as long as you know what that bias is.

01:19:45.000 It doesn't mean the facts they're giving you are, like, made up.

01:19:48.000 It means they're selectively showing you information, which is fine, because it's not like you go to them for all of your news.

01:19:53.000 It kind of frustrates me when people say, this is from CNN, I will never listen to anything they say.

01:19:57.000 I'm like, okay, they have an opinion, you know what their opinion is, they can still present the news.

01:20:03.000 And they do.

01:20:04.000 Yeah, I would say if it's on CNN's TV channel, ignore it.

01:20:08.000 If it's on their website, take it with a grain of salt, but the website's very, very different.

01:20:12.000 Very different.

01:20:13.000 The same is true for Fox News.

01:20:14.000 The website is, the Fox News website is really good.

01:20:17.000 Really, really good.

01:20:18.000 And they even have opinion writers who are very lefty.

01:20:21.000 The TV channels are- I'm sorry, the TV channel, actually through the daytime, is pretty good.

01:20:26.000 It's the nightly hosts that are very bombastic.

01:20:29.000 Except for, I mean, Tucker is too.

01:20:31.000 And you know, it's like I roll my eyes when he calls Brian Seltzer a eunuch, and he does.

01:20:35.000 Things like that, and I'm like, Tucker doesn't need to do that.

01:20:37.000 You know, he's got a great show, he brings on good guests, but yeah, that's what people do, and people like it.

01:20:42.000 Yeah.

01:20:43.000 Yes, let's see.

01:20:45.000 Robert Goldie says, hi Tim, do you think there is a possibility that people will backlash against the Democrats for wasting money investigating Trump that could have been used in this pandemic?

01:20:54.000 I'd like to think that, but you know, I'll tell you what, people have drawn their lines.

01:20:58.000 Most people are like, I'm on this side or this side.

01:21:01.000 And it's getting to the point where I'm seeing people that, you know, on the left, praising the World Health Organization. 0.95

01:21:06.000 And I'm like, you're insane. 0.85

01:21:08.000 I'm sorry, man. 1.00

01:21:09.000 You're insane. 0.96

01:21:10.000 I was defending them just because. 0.93

01:21:13.000 I'm sorry, the Associated Press has come out and said that China was withholding information.

01:21:17.000 The World Health Organization fed us BS.

01:21:19.000 If you're defending them, it's because you're pretending to be partisan.

01:21:21.000 That's all you care about.

01:21:22.000 Well, not necessarily that.

01:21:24.000 It could just be because they, not that they're pretending or anything, they believe it because it's the World Health Organization.

01:21:32.000 That title alone... No, no, no.

01:21:34.000 The AP.

01:21:35.000 No, I mean, I'm seeing friends of mine that are posting like, God, I can't believe that Trump is, you know, suspending the World Health Organization.

01:21:44.000 And I'm just like, do you know what they've done?

01:21:47.000 But I'm not talking about the layman.

01:21:49.000 I'm saying that there are political people, commentators like me, who are defending the Who, and I'm like, how did you miss the Associated Press reporting on this unless you don't actually read the news?

01:21:59.000 Or you're being paid to ignore it.

01:22:01.000 I mean, that's a stretch, I know.

01:22:04.000 I would say framing, but you're right.

01:22:07.000 They make more money when they ignore it.

01:22:09.000 They will make more money saying, Trump is wrong, we must protect the Who.

01:22:13.000 It's like, dude, listen, if Donald Trump tries to make some kind of move to adjourn or suspend Congress or do something like that, I'll screech the top of my lungs about it.

01:22:22.000 I don't care.

01:22:24.000 When I make content, it's because of something I believe in.

01:22:26.000 When I see someone come out and say the World Health Organization must be protected, I'm like, but did you read the AP's story about this?

01:22:32.000 Like, I'm sorry, man, that I can't believe.

01:22:35.000 All right.

01:22:36.000 It's like there's no principles.

01:22:38.000 It's just, I'm on this side and we're the side that's not Trump.

01:22:42.000 Yeah.

01:22:42.000 Well, I don't care about that.

01:22:44.000 I think Trump has got good and bad things going for him. 0.98

01:22:47.000 That's a ridiculous thing. 0.66

01:22:48.000 It's not a policy position to like or hate Trump. 0.98

01:22:50.000 I'll put it that way.

01:22:51.000 That makes no sense.

01:22:52.000 I agree with you.

01:22:53.000 Completely.

01:22:54.000 It's like you can like the guy, you can hate the guy.

01:22:56.000 I met a guy at an airport.

01:22:57.000 Yeah, I don't like everything he does.

01:22:59.000 Not at all.

01:22:59.000 I was at an airport, and the woman who was serving drinks was a Bernie supporter.

01:23:04.000 The guy on my left was a Trump supporter.

01:23:07.000 The news was on, I asked the woman, I was like, would you mind putting on CNN?

01:23:12.000 I was like, I know it's probably going to make everybody angry. 1.00

01:23:15.000 I don't remember what was on the TV, but it was stupid. 0.99

01:23:18.000 And she put it on and they were talking and then this started a conversation. 0.99

01:23:22.000 She said she was in favor of Bernie, mentioned a few policies.

01:23:24.000 The guy on my left goes, nah, nah, nah, Trump all the way.

01:23:28.000 And I was like, really?

01:23:29.000 I was like, what about him?

01:23:31.000 Don't you take issue with his attitude and the way he talks about things?

01:23:36.000 And the guy laughed and he was like, does that mean he's bad at being a president because he's a bad person?

01:23:41.000 I'm like, no, I get the point.

01:23:42.000 Like, totally, you're right.

01:23:43.000 I'm just wondering how you feel about it.

01:23:45.000 And he goes, oh God, the guy's a lowlife.

01:23:48.000 I wouldn't invite him to my house for dinner.

01:23:50.000 I'm gonna vote for him in 2020.

01:23:50.000 He started laughing and I laughed.

01:23:53.000 And the woman behind the counter, the Bernie supporter, started laughing too.

01:23:56.000 And she was like, I would never vote for that man.

01:23:58.000 But you're right.

01:23:58.000 He's a bad guy.

01:24:00.000 And the guy was like, yeah, I think he's terrible.

01:24:02.000 He was right on the economy, the money's good, he's working right for this country.

01:24:07.000 But I wouldn't let him in my house for dinner.

01:24:08.000 And I started laughing.

01:24:10.000 But you know, I've heard that from a lot of people.

01:24:13.000 I was in an Uber.

01:24:14.000 This was when I got invited to Glenn Beck's show in Texas.

01:24:17.000 I was in an Uber on the way to the studio, and the guy asked, like, so what are you in town for?

01:24:21.000 And I was like, oh, it's Glenn Beck's show, we're gonna talk, it's a podcast.

01:24:24.000 And he was like, oh yeah, yeah, Glenn Becker, you know, blah, blah, blah, and started talking about politics.

01:24:28.000 And then I asked him, I was like, so what about you?

01:24:30.000 This is a Latino guy in Texas.

01:24:31.000 And I was like, you're going to vote for Trump or, you know, I can't remember who else was running.

01:24:35.000 And he was like, oh yeah, yeah, of course, of course.

01:24:38.000 He's like, I just wish you wouldn't tweet so much. 0.96

01:24:40.000 I wish you kind of just, you know, shut his mouth.

01:24:42.000 But, you know, the economy has been really good and I think he's good for this country.

01:24:46.000 But, you know, he's got attitude.

01:24:48.000 And I started laughing.

01:24:49.000 I'm like, I hear that a lot.

01:24:50.000 I really do.

01:24:51.000 And I don't think these these these activists realize it, that we get it, man.

01:24:56.000 We get the orange man is bad.

01:24:58.000 Right.

01:24:58.000 But there are a lot of people who are like, that doesn't change the fact that he's a businessman who's going to bring the jobs back and fulfill these things he's been talking about.

01:25:06.000 Which it seems like that's going to happen.

01:25:08.000 Yeah, it's almost pandemic is forcing the world totally America's hand.

01:25:13.000 The craziest thing about Trump is that I think a lot of was I going to say something like people don't realize that.

01:25:22.000 I lost my train of thought on this one, but I think I basically gave the gist of it already.

01:25:25.000 That the attitude of Trump means absolutely nothing to the regular people.

01:25:30.000 These activists are asking us to make a vote based on emotion.

01:25:34.000 Yeah, don't do that.

01:25:36.000 Well, did you see the story earlier about the woman who tore the Trump flag down, the man and the woman, the doctors?

01:25:41.000 No.

01:25:42.000 They brought their kids with them.

01:25:43.000 Really?

01:25:44.000 Yeah, and the one kid was begging them, please, you're gonna go to jail, don't do this, and they were like, be quiet.

01:25:49.000 And then they got a ladder and they go up and they steal the flag, and they got arrested for it.

01:25:53.000 Yeah, no kidding.

01:25:54.000 These people are coming out and saying, don't vote for Trump, and you're like, why?

01:25:57.000 And they're just telling you because they emotionally react negatively to him.

01:26:01.000 They don't realize that everyone understands those feelings and still doesn't care.

01:26:06.000 That there's other things they find to be more important.

01:26:10.000 That's crazy, man.

01:26:10.000 You're nailing it.

01:26:12.000 But that's why they're running Joe Biden.

01:26:13.000 Because it doesn't matter who runs. 0.93

01:26:15.000 These people have a weird emotional blockage in their brain. 0.99

01:26:19.000 Where the only thing they're thinking is, I hate Trump.

01:26:22.000 They want to get him.

01:26:23.000 They want that symbol to be knocked down.

01:26:25.000 But that's not how you win, man.

01:26:28.000 I always try and warn my friends who are skating and get angry.

01:26:32.000 They'll get angry and they'll start kicking their board around and I'm like, you realize this is blocking you from succeeding, right?

01:26:37.000 You've lost your focus.

01:26:38.000 You're enraged.

01:26:39.000 It is a trope in martial arts movies.

01:26:41.000 Get your opponent angry so he loses focus and swings wildly.

01:26:45.000 You gotta calm down.

01:26:46.000 You will not win if you are freaking out.

01:26:49.000 That's a good point.

01:26:50.000 But they'll freak out anyway.

01:26:51.000 Like today I, I was, I thought to myself, I took a deep breath and then I landed it.

01:26:56.000 Oh, the skating, you were skating.

01:26:57.000 Yeah.

01:26:57.000 Yep.

01:26:57.000 Adam did.

01:26:58.000 It was, you, you went, it's a, it's all, I think you would, I guess you'd call it fakie. 0.76

01:27:02.000 Fakie body varial blunt rock revert.

01:27:04.000 Fakie body varial rock to stall revert. 0.72

01:27:09.000 I did so many different versions of it, but.

01:27:11.000 You basically did a pretty, pretty beast trick.

01:27:13.000 But I smacked, I fell a lot.

01:27:16.000 Trying to get to it, though.

01:27:17.000 But you weren't angry.

01:27:18.000 You were stoked the whole time.

01:27:19.000 Yeah.

01:27:19.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:27:20.000 Because I was getting closer and closer.

01:27:22.000 But if I had gotten angry, there's no way I would have landed that.

01:27:25.000 Contrast that with, like, the reaction of a Trump supporter.

01:27:28.000 Right.

01:27:28.000 Who will see something and, like, Trump will turn the insult into a joke and they'll laugh about it.

01:27:35.000 And then they'll keep doing their thing.

01:27:37.000 Right.

01:27:37.000 Versus the people who get triggered, who get so frustrated and flustered they can't see straight.

01:27:41.000 And that becomes their entire everything.

01:27:43.000 Don't you have anything better to do with your life?

01:27:45.000 Don't you?

01:27:45.000 like wow dude you have hurt yourself right it's like it's like you've hurt

01:27:49.000 yourself in confusion don't you have anything don't you have anything better

01:27:52.000 to do with your life don't you it's it's it's a come on I read the definition of

01:27:58.000 Trump derangement syndrome mm-hmm it originated in the Bush era for Bush

01:28:02.000 derangement syndrome and it was Charles Krauthammer I think is that

01:28:05.000 Am I saying his name right?

01:28:06.000 Yep.

01:28:06.000 Krauthammer.

01:28:07.000 And he said it's the onset of extreme emotional distress and paranoia in seemingly normal people over specifically the existence of an individual.

01:28:17.000 I don't get what it is, man.

01:28:19.000 It's like, these people can't think rationally.

01:28:23.000 They see Obama and they cry, hope and change, it means nothing.

01:28:26.000 They see Donald Trump and they cry and scream, orange man.

01:28:29.000 It's like there's no substance behind what they're saying or doing.

01:28:31.000 Exactly.

01:28:32.000 And then, so, you end up, like, there's a lot of people... And no rational, like, reasoning for them to even, like, well, what about it?

01:28:39.000 Well, he said terrible things.

01:28:41.000 Right.

01:28:42.000 Okay, what else?

01:28:44.000 You know?

01:28:45.000 Does that affect me?

01:28:46.000 It's like, well, what about his policies that you don't like?

01:28:48.000 I don't care.

01:28:49.000 He's just a bad person.

01:28:50.000 But what about his policies that, you know... Dude, they... I mean, these interviews are always cherry-picked, you know, so it's hard to really, like, use them as an example.

01:28:58.000 There are people who have made a career out of doing, like, gotcha man-in-the-street interviews.

01:29:05.000 You go to a university, you grab a stack of, you know, Bernie Sanders proposals and Donald Trump proposals, and you invert the name, like clockwork.

01:29:14.000 You walk up to a college student and take a Trump quote and says, Donald Trump says that China is really dangerous and it's about time we bring our factories back and fight for the working class.

01:29:22.000 And they're going to be like, that sounds like Bernie.

01:29:24.000 I'm going to vote for him.

01:29:25.000 You're like, well, that was Donald Trump.

01:29:26.000 Bernie Sanders actually said China is a great partner.

01:29:28.000 That's what people do all the time.

01:29:30.000 Yeah.

01:29:30.000 You've seen him.

01:29:31.000 I haven't seen that yet.

01:29:33.000 Again, cherry-picked.

01:29:34.000 If they get enough people, they can make it seem however they want.

01:29:38.000 This one isn't about cherry-picking. 1.00

01:29:40.000 Cherry-picking videos are more like they try to make you look stupid. 1.00

01:29:44.000 True. 1.00

01:29:45.000 So they'll go to someone and say, name a policy of Bernie you like, and they'll show only the dumb ones. 0.97

01:29:49.000 But you can go to any person. 0.96

01:29:52.000 Smart and be like, if I told you this, would you agree?

01:29:55.000 And then they'll be like, oh, that sounds pretty good.

01:29:57.000 And then it turns out it's a Hitler quote or something.

01:29:58.000 Right.

01:29:59.000 Because I guess you could say you could cherry pick certain quotes that you know are popular.

01:30:02.000 That's all I'm saying.

01:30:03.000 Right.

01:30:04.000 It's easy to pull off.

01:30:05.000 But I think it's fair to say that you could do it.

01:30:08.000 You could do something like, is this Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump?

01:30:11.000 And read a quote from Bernie in, you know, 2008, where he's like, we need this border barrier.

01:30:17.000 Illegal immigration is hurting, you know, jobs in this country.

01:30:20.000 And people are gonna think it's Trump.

01:30:21.000 Yep.

01:30:22.000 And it's like, actually, that was Bernie.

01:30:23.000 You know, that was Hillary. 1.00

01:30:24.000 That was Biden.

01:30:25.000 All right, so let's do this.

01:30:26.000 I'm going to go through these Super Chats much more quickly now, because we do have this video game segment we got to get to.

01:30:31.000 Oh, yeah.

01:30:32.000 Totally.

01:30:33.000 Let's see.

01:30:34.000 Baltazar says, Bill Gates says vaccines cause damage.

01:30:36.000 Dr. Fauci is on the leadership council for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

01:30:40.000 Dr. Burtz's daughter is the deputy director there also.

01:30:44.000 Bill Gates is the WHO's second biggest donor, too.

01:30:46.000 I don't know anything about the Bill Gates stuff, but I do think people are overreacting.

01:30:50.000 Mr. Paul R says, got some extra Trump bucks today.

01:30:54.000 Agree highly with Tim Poole, only Wuhan theory was following this in January.

01:30:59.000 Enjoy all that you do.

01:31:00.000 Call the CCP virus wordy doored.

01:31:04.000 Boom, CCP virus.

01:31:05.000 I like Wuhan virus because it's the name of the city, it's the standard by which we name things, and it recognizes the Chinese government.

01:31:15.000 Alright, Steven says, F YouTube Tim, keep doing the real news.

01:31:17.000 You are more of a journalist than that Reza Aslan ever was. 0.84

01:31:22.000 Jason Pratt says, look into how Western scientists engineered the H5N1 virus in 2010 to be more transmissible to study its effects.

01:31:29.000 I think the Chinese did the same thing.

01:31:30.000 Interesting.

01:31:33.000 Chet Chisholm says, look into the Chinese scientist Jianguo Qiu.

01:31:36.000 She was being investigated by the RCMP for a policy breach while working at a microbiology lab in Winnipeg.

01:31:42.000 She was working at a level 4 lab in China before.

01:31:45.000 Student of History says, before I was wondering if I was being too harsh by entirely blaming China for this complete S show.

01:31:51.000 Now I have no doubt in my mind that I was right.

01:31:54.000 In the media, social media, who?

01:31:55.000 Every one of them.

01:31:57.000 Sean Hanner, thanks for the super chat.

01:31:59.000 Duane, also thanks for the super chat.

01:32:01.000 Scott says, please investigate drop in recorded flu deaths lately, as we are told COVID-related deaths are increasing.

01:32:07.000 I saw data from this and I did not see it.

01:32:10.000 There was a chart that was going viral showing the current flu season, and it was like a normal wave compared to other years, and coronavirus is a major spike.

01:32:18.000 So I've heard these things, but I haven't seen it.

01:32:20.000 And so it's like, if I can't, I need data. 0.85

01:32:26.000 RMB says, shut up and take my money. 0.92

01:32:28.000 I will. 0.98

01:32:29.000 Thank you.

01:32:29.000 Patrick says, thank you for your continued reporting, even in these hard times.

01:32:32.000 Oh, no problem.

01:32:33.000 I mean, what else would I do?

01:32:35.000 It's technically an essential function.

01:32:37.000 We are.

01:32:37.000 Yeah, the media is considered essential.

01:32:39.000 We could walk around and they can't do anything.

01:32:42.000 We're essential.

01:32:42.000 I mean, yeah, so no, but literally if we, if we got like press cards for the show, media is considered essential.

01:32:47.000 We could walk around and like, what are you doing?

01:32:49.000 It's like, we're doing a show, you know, it's, it's press and it's like, all right, there you go.

01:32:52.000 Yeah, man.

01:32:53.000 Shrek says, Sitting outside enjoying margaritas from the local Mexican food.

01:32:56.000 Thanks for delivery.

01:32:58.000 And relaxed laws on alcohol delivery here in Texas.

01:33:00.000 And very little restrictions so far, but not too bad here either.

01:33:03.000 Sounds fun.

01:33:04.000 Texas, man.

01:33:04.000 I like that place.

01:33:05.000 Interesting.

01:33:05.000 I cannot read these symbols, which I believe are Chinese, but they say,

01:33:08.000 Soy Jesus is right. 0.98

01:33:09.000 An intentional bioweapon release would involve simultaneous release in multiple major American cities.

01:33:15.000 Intelligent person would pick a stable one.

01:33:17.000 Low mutation rate, so already developed vaccine will work.

01:33:20.000 Interesting.

01:33:21.000 Ryan says, the West has grown weak.

01:33:23.000 What better time to attack us?

01:33:25.000 Some would say.

01:33:26.000 F. Garrett says, listen to y'all every day at work.

01:33:29.000 How close do you think China is to revolting to their government?

01:33:32.000 Their economy is going to take a huge hit from companies pulling out.

01:33:35.000 It looks bad for them.

01:33:37.000 I think we're really close.

01:33:38.000 And our next article, yeah.

01:33:39.000 Yeah, so the next thing we're going to do is going to dive into this.

01:33:42.000 Adam thinks it could be internal collapse.

01:33:45.000 Someone mentioned the other day that there already is strife in the party.

01:33:48.000 I think so.

01:33:48.000 Between Xi Jinping and this other guy.

01:33:50.000 Yep.

01:33:51.000 Yes, yes.

01:33:51.000 Someone said the other day, like, I got my Trump bucks, here's ten bucks.

01:33:54.000 have the money to donate, ironically enough given that you know economy, keep doing what you do,

01:33:58.000 you provide a very valuable service. I appreciate it. And I'm glad to see that many of the Trump

01:34:03.000 bucks are coming my way. Yes, yes. More. Someone said the other day, like, I got my Trump bucks,

01:34:08.000 here's 10 bucks. And I'm like, yes, Trump, Trump. He put his name on them, they got all mad.

01:34:12.000 Joseph Flynn says as soon as he left his Jesus hair, let his Jesus hair out,

01:34:16.000 he starts talking MAGA coincidence. I quickly shoved it back in.

01:34:22.000 Student of history says soy Jesus and the beanie bro going full MAGA for about 10 minutes.

01:34:26.000 This timeline is weird. We did go on a rant, didn't we?

01:34:30.000 But it's... I regret nothing.

01:34:33.000 It's not fair to us that what the left used to be agreed with Trump on so many of these issues.

01:34:40.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:34:40.000 Like, you can't expect me to change my opinion overnight because you wanted to adopt these weird social media activist things.

01:34:45.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:34:45.000 We stayed in the very center.

01:34:47.000 No, no, no, we're... Yeah, we're left.

01:34:50.000 We're left of the center line.

01:34:50.000 We used to be.

01:34:51.000 Well, yeah, we used to be considered left of the center line, but now with everyone way over there, everything's to the right.

01:34:59.000 They jumped off the cliff.

01:35:02.000 They're just falling away.

01:35:03.000 And as they fall away, they're like, you're far right.

01:35:06.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:35:07.000 It's like, well, we're actually up here not falling.

01:35:10.000 Yeah.

01:35:11.000 Adventurer says a chicken plant near me once was to be shut down.

01:35:15.000 After discovering they were employing undocumented workers who may have or had tested positive for COVID, Citi wouldn't let them due to taxes.

01:35:22.000 Wow.

01:35:23.000 Jeez.

01:35:24.000 JP says darker-skinned people have less vitamin D. It's not racism.

01:35:28.000 That causes the disparity in deaths.

01:35:30.000 Oh, really.

01:35:31.000 Carrie Steer says the Amazon show The Expanse show what Earth would be like if all the far-left policies are enacted, and it's scary.

01:35:38.000 Well, I need to rewatch it.

01:35:39.000 Such a good show.

01:35:40.000 I kind of agree, man.

01:35:41.000 says, like I said, Trump is playing 40 chess with the rest of the world. China and who

01:35:46.000 have now been caught and red handed and our own media sides with them. TDS is deadlier

01:35:50.000 than COVID-19. I kind of agree, man. I mean, not literally deadlier, but more dangerous

01:35:58.000 because it could lead to full on war. Yeah. Yeah. Mr. Paul says more Trump bucks your

01:36:03.000 Stocked up on beans for the next two years.

01:36:05.000 Still waiting on my Patriot supply, but my order is in front of 106,330 orders.

01:36:11.000 Ordered February 26th, thanks to Tim Pool.

01:36:13.000 Wow, man.

01:36:15.000 They are way backed up.

01:36:16.000 Yeah, but they've been speeding up.

01:36:17.000 So for those that aren't familiar, I've done a promo for this emergency food stuff, because I legit think it's a good idea.

01:36:22.000 And the delay went from like 12 weeks, and now it's dipping back down.

01:36:26.000 But they had to open new plants.

01:36:28.000 There's a bunch of food shortages.

01:36:29.000 Are they made in America?

01:36:30.000 I think so.

01:36:32.000 I hope so.

01:36:33.000 I would certainly hope so.

01:36:34.000 Yeah.

01:36:35.000 It'd be weird to have the like food grown in China then shipped here though.

01:36:38.000 I mean, I'm pretty sure that there was like very patriotic, the page.

01:36:43.000 And they're like, we won't sell to the U.S.

01:36:45.000 government.

01:36:45.000 I was like, geez, they're serious over there.

01:36:48.000 I'm like, I don't care if the U.S.

01:36:49.000 government gets emergency food.

01:36:50.000 I'm not worried about that much.

01:36:52.000 Alright, we have a major influx of superchats, so... Wow, nice.

01:36:56.000 Oh yeah.

01:36:57.000 Yeah, I gotta figure out where we're at.

01:36:58.000 Well hey guys, remember to like and share if you so feel we deserve it.

01:37:03.000 Or wish to punish your friends.

01:37:04.000 Wow, this is huge.

01:37:05.000 Or punish your friends if you think we're terrible.

01:37:08.000 I'll accept it.

01:37:09.000 Susan says, the world's oldest profession is begging.

01:37:11.000 Somebody had to ask.

01:37:13.000 Hah.

01:37:14.000 Roddy says, hey, I brought this up yesterday, but I'll pay to try and get more information out there to everyone about the internal faction war going on in China.

01:37:21.000 Zhang Zemin was the guy who took power after Tiananmen massacre for supporting it.

01:37:27.000 TBC.

01:37:28.000 Thank you for preaching what I've been trying to tell people.

01:37:35.000 Crony capitalism and owners who care all about the money to profit themselves while sending all the cheap labor to China.

01:37:40.000 And this is what bothers me because then the left claims capitalism is broken.

01:37:43.000 No, no, no, no.

01:37:45.000 I'm sorry.

01:37:46.000 Corrupt individuals and politicians extracting the middle class is corruption.

01:37:50.000 That has nothing to do with capitalism or socialism for that matter.

01:37:53.000 It's just run off the rails.

01:37:56.000 By people selfishly exploiting the system for their personal gain.

01:38:00.000 Yep, exactly.

01:38:01.000 Roddy says, he began creating a cult of personality and put his loyalists in all positions of power.

01:38:06.000 This is the Jiang guy.

01:38:08.000 To finalize his power base so he could run things from behind, he selected Falun Gong as scapegoats and hunted them using the 610 office. 0.98

01:38:15.000 Interesting.

01:38:16.000 Yasser, thanks for becoming a member.

01:38:17.000 Thank you.

01:38:18.000 Michael Moroney says, if you want to solve the spoiled Brett problem in this country, make voting contingent upon serving in the military for two years.

01:38:24.000 That is the... Super Troopers?

01:38:25.000 Starship Troopers.

01:38:26.000 Starship Troopers.

01:38:27.000 Right, yeah.

01:38:27.000 Not Super Troopers.

01:38:28.000 Roddy goes on.

01:38:29.000 When Xi Jinping took power, he had the same idea and has needed to dismantle all of his enemy's loyalists through purges.

01:38:36.000 The Jiang faction is deep in things like North Korea, which has been one of the reasons Xi hasn't been. 0.65

01:38:42.000 Nicholas says you should read Starship Troopers.

01:38:44.000 It depicts a society in which you have to put in two years of military service for the right to vote or hold office.

01:38:49.000 Still have other basic rights though.

01:38:50.000 It's a fascinating idea.

01:38:52.000 I think Sargon is in favor of that.

01:38:55.000 I don't want to say what he's in favor of, but Sargon did a big video breaking down like, and it's a joke, service guarantees citizenship or something like that.

01:39:04.000 Well, what if they just went, like you talked about not wanting mandatory boot camp, but what if that was all it was?

01:39:11.000 If you want to vote, you got to do boot camp.

01:39:13.000 That's the general premise.

01:39:15.000 But not serve.

01:39:16.000 Right, right, right.

01:39:17.000 Not actually go and serve and you might be at war.

01:39:20.000 Just curious, what would you think about that?

01:39:22.000 I don't know.

01:39:23.000 I don't know, man.

01:39:25.000 It's tough.

01:39:28.000 That's okay.

01:39:28.000 This is why I'll never be in government.

01:39:29.000 Stay on the fence.

01:39:31.000 Well, I just don't think I'm smart enough to dictate for other people how they should live their lives.

01:39:34.000 I'm just asking your opinion, though.

01:39:35.000 My opinion is that we probably need something.

01:39:39.000 I don't know if that's the right answer.

01:39:41.000 Okay.

01:39:41.000 But we need something so that people are responsible with their vote.

01:39:45.000 Man, you'd make such a good politician.

01:39:46.000 No, I wouldn't.

01:39:47.000 Oh, God.

01:39:48.000 I'd be standing there and be like- They all agree with me.

01:39:50.000 No.

01:39:50.000 Because people would be like- Don't you agree with me?

01:39:52.000 Yes.

01:39:53.000 Mr. Poole, you're running for office.

01:39:54.000 What's your position on increasing or decreasing taxes?

01:39:56.000 I'd be like- It's complicated.

01:39:57.000 I have no idea.

01:39:58.000 Why should we vote for you?

01:39:59.000 I have no idea.

01:40:00.000 No, no.

01:40:01.000 Don't.

01:40:02.000 No, you would say, you know what, I'm not the expert.

01:40:06.000 I'm going to bring in experts and I'm going to learn what I need to do.

01:40:10.000 That's what you would say.

01:40:11.000 Probably.

01:40:12.000 Or I'd just be like, I will tell you what, I'm going to sit there confused half the time,

01:40:17.000 not understanding because I'm going to have lobbyists from both sides screaming in my

01:40:20.000 ears.

01:40:21.000 So the truth.

01:40:23.000 Oh wonderful.

01:40:24.000 It would be it would be incredible.

01:40:26.000 I I would never agree I would never agree it would I would never want to be in a position of national security But if I was ever in like Congress or anything I just be like just throwing documents out like here's a picture I take pictures of everything and be like here you go here you go.

01:40:40.000 It's all public everyone gets to see it Yeah, I love that where I'd wear a permanent no more behind the scenes.

01:40:45.000 That's great.

01:40:46.000 They'd be like get this guy in there Mr. Poole, this is a sensitive meeting."

01:40:49.000 I'm like, oh, can you guys see?

01:40:51.000 He said it was sensitive.

01:40:53.000 What was that again?

01:40:55.000 Hold on, they're chatting me right now. 0.98

01:40:56.000 They're saying, tell him to shut up.

01:40:58.000 We pay your salary. 0.99

01:41:00.000 They said they pay your salary, so you should shut up. 0.91

01:41:02.000 That'd be funny. 0.81

01:41:03.000 Yes!

01:41:04.000 Alright, sorry for side-tracking us there.

01:41:06.000 Alright, let's read.

01:41:08.000 Ted says, I think you should mention Sour Patch Sidekick in your promos.

01:41:12.000 He's a third of the show, or at least a quarter.

01:41:15.000 Also, did Reza act like he enjoyed his TV dinner asking for a friend? 0.98

01:41:19.000 Disgusting. 0.99

01:41:21.000 Well, yes. 0.87

01:41:21.000 We need to get the camera and the thing for... Sour Patch Sidekick. 0.87

01:41:25.000 I love it.

01:41:26.000 Sour Patch Sidekick.

01:41:27.000 It's got a good ring to it.

01:41:28.000 Yeah, I like it.

01:41:29.000 And Chris says, I'm from a third world country.

01:41:31.000 I've been to the U.S.

01:41:32.000 and the EU and the U.K.

01:41:33.000 Just the amount of freedom the U.S.

01:41:34.000 has makes it the best country in the world.

01:41:37.000 Europe is China lite. 0.84

01:41:38.000 Maybe the U.K.

01:41:39.000 can go back, said.

01:41:41.000 Will says, accept my offering, sweet Jesus.

01:41:44.000 And there's some money, $23.12.

01:41:44.000 I will accept this.

01:41:47.000 Interesting.

01:41:48.000 Well, thanks for doing that.

01:41:49.000 Tim and Adam and hail the hidden hottie.

01:41:51.000 I never fantasize about the apocalypse.

01:41:53.000 Visiting the Philippines to do charity work was hellish though.

01:41:55.000 I hope the country is opening.

01:41:57.000 Well, thanks for doing that.

01:41:58.000 Aqua says, keep it going guys.

01:41:59.000 Much appreciated.

01:42:00.000 Thank you very much.

01:42:01.000 Student of history says, China gonna ban multiplayer video games.

01:42:01.000 Thank you.

01:42:04.000 Hope Blizzard feels happy about cucking out for them.

01:42:08.000 And these kids went to college and are in debt and complaining.

01:42:11.000 to earn their way like the rest of us, and government-funded school loans, problem solved.

01:42:11.000 Yeah.

01:42:11.000 He's doing good.

01:42:16.000 I'm a truck driver earning 85K per year, truck paid for.

01:42:20.000 And these kids went to college and are in debt and complaining.

01:42:22.000 Yeah, he's doing good, congrats.

01:42:24.000 CoreSonic says, if you guys have not played Tales of Berseria,

01:42:28.000 it's all about a man taking away everyone's rights and being human, as being human and making them slaves.

01:42:34.000 This could be us soon.

01:42:35.000 Yikes.

01:42:36.000 JMaxx says, Adam, which Final Fantasy VII re-character do you think they did the best with?

01:42:36.000 Scary.

01:42:41.000 Which one do you find lacking?

01:42:43.000 If any.

01:42:43.000 I really love everything Barret and Aerith, uh, everything Barret and Aerith is a strong second for me.

01:42:48.000 Jesse gets an honorable mention.

01:42:50.000 I thought Rude was too talkative compared to the original.

01:42:53.000 That's a good point.

01:42:54.000 He didn't say anything really in the first one.

01:42:57.000 I'm really bummed that you can't use Red XIII as a character.

01:43:00.000 I really love Tifa now.

01:43:03.000 She is so much more BA than... I can't swear, but I want to.

01:43:08.000 The first game, I didn't use her ever because her Limit Break was risky and it wasn't a sure thing.

01:43:14.000 So I always ended up using Cid, Barret, and Cloud because their Limit Breaks were just simply the best.

01:43:19.000 And this game gives you a really good way of figuring out what each character is really good.

01:43:26.000 I love them all.

01:43:27.000 Even Aerith I never used because I knew something in the future was going to happen.

01:43:33.000 I don't really want to...

01:43:35.000 I mean, the game's 23 years old, but it doesn't matter.

01:43:37.000 I just, you know, it felt like a waste, but I was using her, and she is really strong, and Biggs and Wedge and Jesse, I like that you got to see that whole side of the Avalanche team that you didn't before, so that was really cool.

01:43:51.000 So, but thanks for the shout-out.

01:43:52.000 Cool.

01:43:53.000 Kami says, you seriously need to watch Serial Experiments Lane.

01:43:57.000 It will change your perception of reality.

01:44:00.000 Cool. 0.92

01:44:01.000 Logan Dikari says, Got my stimulus money and three weeks of unemployment all in one day, so shut up and take my money.

01:44:07.000 Plus my work is talking about going back to regular hours next week.

01:44:10.000 Love you.

01:44:10.000 Aunt Aunt.

01:44:11.000 Keep it up.

01:44:12.000 Cool, man.

01:44:12.000 I hope everything kicks back into high gear and people get their jobs back.

01:44:15.000 Me too.

01:44:15.000 Sam says, Best thing about the Chinese online gaming ban?

01:44:18.000 The script kiddie hackers will suffer.

01:44:21.000 Also a discussion on Strauss how generational theory would make a good podcast topic nowadays.

01:44:25.000 That is a good idea.

01:44:26.000 Strauss, how generational theory is basically strong men make good times.

01:44:30.000 Oh, yeah.

01:44:30.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:44:31.000 It goes on how, like, we're actually supposed to be on the cusp of a civil war or a complete and total breakdown of some sort.

01:44:37.000 Yeah.

01:44:38.000 It certainly feels like it, doesn't it?

01:44:39.000 Every 80 years or something like that.

01:44:41.000 We'll see.

01:44:41.000 Yeah.

01:44:41.000 It feels like it for sure.

01:44:43.000 Connor says, start wiping sitting.

01:44:43.000 We're there.

01:44:45.000 Final one is done standing as a safety.

01:44:47.000 All right.

01:44:48.000 Reiterating, Nerdette's newsstand has great coverage of Amber and Johnny.

01:44:51.000 She has a playlist of videos she's done on it.

01:44:53.000 Cool.

01:44:54.000 The Grizzly says, hey man, I just wanted to ask you if you are going to do any more conspiracy stuff after this outbreak and nonsense is hopefully over.

01:45:01.000 My question is to all three of you, what's your favorite conspiracy theory and why is that?

01:45:06.000 I don't know, probably lizard people in the center of the Earth.

01:45:08.000 Well, no, no, no, my favorite conspiracy theory is that human life and all life originated on Venus and that a runaway greenhouse effect was destroying the planet so the military created the Ark to escape the planet with the DNA of two of each animal and then seed Earth and that we're actually living in a post-apocalyptic new world But we originally came from Venus.

01:45:30.000 I love that movie.

01:45:32.000 I'm not really into conspiracy theories that much because I'm so logic based that I tend to really dig into science and stuff that, you know, I don't, I don't care to delve into conspiracies when I can delve into like actual scientific proof of things.

01:45:50.000 But we did come across some, someone tweeted at me, the expanding earth.

01:45:54.000 Conspiracy?

01:45:55.000 Oh yeah.

01:45:56.000 And it's kind of cool.

01:45:58.000 I mean, it seems a little silly, but at the same time, it's kind of cool.

01:46:03.000 I don't know.

01:46:03.000 Listen, I looked it up.

01:46:04.000 Expanding Earth was the old theory before tectonic plates.

01:46:08.000 Ah, before they knew about it.

01:46:09.000 They were trying to explain how the continents moved.

01:46:09.000 Right.

01:46:13.000 Okay, that makes sense.

01:46:13.000 That makes sense.

01:46:14.000 Because Expanding Earth doesn't explain the water volume.

01:46:17.000 Right, I know.

01:46:18.000 Uh, but somebody mentions right here, this is interesting, saying, uh, NLF, I think it says NLF, the House and Senate disagree on the time of adjournment.

01:46:26.000 The Constitution says the President may adjourn them to such time as he shall, uh, he shall think proper.

01:46:32.000 Okay.

01:46:33.000 Someone says Article 2, Section 3, is that it?

01:46:35.000 Yeah, so technically this is technically constitutional.

01:46:35.000 Okay.

01:46:38.000 Well, is it or isn't it?

01:46:40.000 If it is constitutional, I got no problem.

01:46:41.000 It's just never been done before, is everyone's issue with it.

01:46:44.000 Well, I mean, we are in the middle of a pandemic.

01:46:45.000 These are interesting times.

01:46:47.000 It's because the House is Democrat, the Senate is Republican.

01:46:49.000 Right.

01:46:51.000 So they're not on the same terms.

01:46:52.000 Probably, something like that.

01:46:54.000 Yeah, profit.

01:46:55.000 Motto says, South Dakotan Governor Noem isn't just hip to constitutional rights, she's also hot AF cattle rancher. 1.00

01:47:01.000 Massive devaluation of our currency labor will manufacturing return, poorer but more sovereign.

01:47:07.000 Matthew says, since the Senate is not meeting until the 4th of May, but they are still in session, Trump is threatening to end the session and do racist appointments.

01:47:14.000 Ah.

01:47:15.000 Chris says, Tim and 2, DY for all of your feeds and news, greatly appreciate it for the last 6 months and get me prepped in December.

01:47:22.000 By the way, I'm retired Navy and banded my head earlier on the Carrier articles.

01:47:27.000 Want help?

01:47:28.000 Uh, we'll see.

01:47:29.000 I mean, I don't know.

01:47:30.000 Yeah.

01:47:30.000 Tweet some information.

01:47:32.000 There's my Twitter.

01:47:32.000 Yeah.

01:47:32.000 Tweet it to Adam.

01:47:34.000 Send it over to me.

01:47:35.000 I'll check it out.

01:47:36.000 Chris says, please cover this tragedy going on in CA.

01:47:39.000 I'm affected by this as well.

01:47:40.000 Look up the petition to waive EDD false statement penalty weeks during a COVID-19 for claimants in good standing.

01:47:47.000 We'll check it out.

01:47:48.000 DK Samaritan says, uh, there's a link.

01:47:51.000 Here's a link to executive orders and powers.

01:47:53.000 Oh, interesting.

01:47:55.000 Agent Toon says Trump is frustrated at obstruction.

01:47:58.000 The current practice of leaving town while conducting phony pro-forma sessions is a dereliction of duty and that the American people cannot afford during the crisis.

01:48:05.000 We didn't get a chance to look into it, but it looks like we're getting the explanation.

01:48:05.000 Well, there you go.

01:48:09.000 Theodore McCarthy says, the complaints about Trump's attitude are just elitist bigotry.

01:48:13.000 It's snooty people who can't stand the president talks like a bricklayer from Queens.

01:48:16.000 Well, yes, he does.

01:48:17.000 That I agree with.

01:48:18.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:48:19.000 He's blunt.

01:48:20.000 That's why I never really cared.

01:48:21.000 I grew up around all this stuff in Chicago.

01:48:22.000 Yeah, same here.

01:48:23.000 I'm like, what is this?

01:48:24.000 I think I get it.

01:48:24.000 I'm pretty blunt.

01:48:25.000 Yeah.

01:48:26.000 You know, I come off as brash sometimes, but I mean, it's who I am.

01:48:31.000 Israel says, it's crazy.

01:48:32.000 I was at Walmart.

01:48:34.000 It felt like Black Friday.

01:48:35.000 Lines of people with 55-inch, 65-inch TVs.

01:48:38.000 The future isn't secure.

01:48:40.000 Is a TV that important?

01:48:41.000 Will they be the ones not paying rent?

01:48:43.000 Maybe it was all the Trump bucks.

01:48:45.000 People are like, I got money!

01:48:46.000 I got money.

01:48:47.000 Not wise.

01:48:48.000 Just go spend it on a TV.

01:48:50.000 Easy E says, we call it the flu-han virus over here in Michigan.

01:48:53.000 Sebastian, thanks for the super chat.

01:48:55.000 Trumpelstiltskin says, don't let the woo-flu get you.

01:48:58.000 Will not.

01:48:59.000 Woolfalt says, What happens when the news is no longer free from bias?

01:49:03.000 What happens when it is no longer trustworthy?

01:49:05.000 Fact becomes fiction.

01:49:07.000 Fiction fact, when does news become propaganda?

01:49:09.000 Danger to the Republic.

01:49:12.000 Oh, we just got a big ol' super chat jump.

01:49:14.000 I love when that happens.

01:49:16.000 There we go.

01:49:17.000 Carlos says, Winnie the Pooh did Tiananmen Square.

01:49:19.000 Alright.

01:49:21.000 Flying Squirrel says, Trump does all the things rational people yell at their TVs.

01:49:25.000 He shows the press when they lie and he beats on Congress when they hold up progress of normal government duties.

01:49:30.000 You three do an awesome job and I appreciate it.

01:49:32.000 Thank you.

01:49:33.000 Kurt, thanks for becoming a member.

01:49:34.000 Thank you.

01:49:35.000 Equizlul says, Tim, you're what a true liberal should represent and what the media should be.

01:49:39.000 Keep up the good work.

01:49:40.000 Appreciate it.

01:49:40.000 Agreed.

01:49:41.000 Zachary says, philosophical conundrum.

01:49:43.000 We try to extend human life as much as possible through advances in medicine, but if we unlock the key to immortality, would it be moral to make it accessible to the public?

01:49:52.000 Oh, that is a great topic of conversation.

01:49:54.000 You want to write that down?

01:49:54.000 We should talk about, like, immortality and stuff like... Altered carbon.

01:49:58.000 Yes.

01:49:58.000 Altered carbon.

01:49:59.000 Yeah.

01:49:59.000 Then I have to watch it.

01:50:01.000 I don't know you guys.

01:50:01.000 You haven't seen it?

01:50:02.000 No.

01:50:02.000 Oh, you got it.

01:50:03.000 It's so good.

01:50:03.000 I know, I will have to.

01:50:04.000 I don't know you guys says, conspiracy thought.

01:50:06.000 Maybe the corona was a honeypot meant for Winnie the Pooh gone wrong.

01:50:09.000 Love the matching color scheme.

01:50:11.000 Thanks, YouTube.

01:50:12.000 Mr. Scratch says, hey Tim, Australian here.

01:50:13.000 Only 15 cases of COVID in my hometown right now, in my town right now.

01:50:17.000 However, it looks like a ghost town.

01:50:19.000 Wish my family would take it slightly more seriously.

01:50:21.000 They think I'm crazy for stocking up on some extra food.

01:50:23.000 Because the panic is what gets you.

01:50:25.000 Yep.

01:50:25.000 Lehman and Rob's, thanks for coming members.

01:50:28.000 Shadow Fox says, it's not military service if government service, so long as you serve the state for two years, basically so more or less a federal job.

01:50:28.000 Thank you both.

01:50:36.000 Oh, so that's the Starship Troopers thing.

01:50:37.000 It could be a government job of some sort.

01:50:40.000 Right, okay.

01:50:41.000 Christian says, Tim, you have mentioned several times you aren't anti-Second Amendment, just left of center, and you don't know much about guns.

01:50:48.000 Would you do a segment with a gun guy to discuss gun rights or maybe go to a range?

01:50:51.000 100%!

01:50:52.000 Yeah, I was wanting to get Coleon Noir in.

01:50:56.000 And I think I may have mentioned something to him and him to me before, but then the lockdown happened.

01:51:01.000 I'm like, that would be awesome.

01:51:03.000 So just to let everybody know, we got a bigger space.

01:51:08.000 Just to have guests and let me be on the show with the guests, because before I would not be on the show and the guests would sit here and there was only enough room, but now we actually have this positioning, you know, this guest space for a guest.

01:51:22.000 So once this all blows over, we're definitely gonna bring some guests in.

01:51:25.000 It's gonna be cool.

01:51:27.000 Or if it doesn't blow over, we'll be gone in a van, hiding in the mountains.

01:51:31.000 There you go.

01:51:31.000 Won't matter either way.

01:51:32.000 Right now this is for social distancing.

01:51:34.000 Technically it's for guests.

01:51:35.000 Right. 0.99

01:51:35.000 John Carroll says, mandatory boot camp or service is foolish. 0.99

01:51:39.000 None of the guys I went to boot camp with became better people just because they went

01:51:41.000 through training.

01:51:42.000 They were that way to begin with.

01:51:43.000 You can't change who someone is in 13 weeks.

01:51:46.000 That's it.

01:51:47.000 That's a good point.

01:51:48.000 Good point.

01:51:49.000 JP Millen says, greeting to the holy trinity of new media.

01:51:51.000 Adam, have you ever heard of the book series, The Stormlight Archive?

01:51:53.000 Oh, I've read it.

01:51:55.000 And it's amazing.

01:51:57.000 I wish we could just have all of it out, but thus is my finding a good book series that isn't finished.

01:52:04.000 But what are you going to do?

01:52:06.000 We have now come to the very last segment of the day.

01:52:09.000 We'll go a little bit longer today.

01:52:10.000 This story is, this is nuts.

01:52:12.000 Chinese retailers ban popular Nintendo game Animal Crossing New Horizons after players use it to organize virtual protests against Xi Jinping and the World Health Organization.

01:52:23.000 There were some other stories too where it claimed that it was like, what were they calling it?

01:52:26.000 Like a...

01:52:28.000 An absent of authority or something?

01:52:31.000 Oh, a vacuum of authority.

01:52:32.000 A vacuum of authority.

01:52:33.000 Yeah.

01:52:34.000 So, I don't know if this has something to do with what was going on in Minecraft.

01:52:37.000 Remember that story?

01:52:38.000 It was like these journalists created an archive within Minecraft people could access in the virtual world.

01:52:43.000 Yeah, it's amazing.

01:52:44.000 But now apparently they're gonna start banning games.

01:52:46.000 Now, here's my theory.

01:52:48.000 I think this could be a precursor to a major international conflict.

01:52:53.000 If they're banning, it's like MMOs or something, right?

01:52:56.000 Do you know what the gist of the story was?

01:52:57.000 Because this is talking about Animal Crossing and retailers.

01:52:59.000 Yeah, there's another article.

01:53:01.000 Yeah, Animal Crossing got banned.

01:53:04.000 Well, they go into talk about how it's pretty much any public multiplayer game where people can talk that they can't censor or observe.

01:53:15.000 So, the main thing is Animal Crossing because it just came out.

01:53:18.000 So, it's like a huge new game that's multiplayer.

01:53:21.000 So, now they're able to... Like, you could see this article right here.

01:53:24.000 You know, it says right over his head, Free Hong Kong.

01:53:28.000 So, it's like... Oh, yeah.

01:53:29.000 Yeah, you know, it's like Free Hong Kong Revolution Now.

01:53:32.000 So, that's like the world that he named his world that.

01:53:35.000 So, anyone that goes into his world is like... And they see that like, oh, okay, I could go into that world because I think that too.

01:53:41.000 Let's go in there and chat.

01:53:43.000 So, I don't think it's international.

01:53:45.000 I think it's China trying to shut down any sort of, like a coup, like a civil war from their own citizens finally going, we've had enough.

01:53:54.000 Because I'm seeing these videos emerge from China.

01:53:56.000 But this guy's not from China, is he?

01:53:58.000 He's in Hong Kong?

01:54:00.000 Here, let me read this.

01:54:01.000 They say... Right, right.

01:54:02.000 No official reason for the removal was given, but activist Joshua Wong of the Hong Kong youth movement Demo Sisto said the decision was caused by protest activities he and others had conducted in the game.

01:54:14.000 He said, oh no, Xi Jinping banned Animal Crossing in China, apparently because I play it, and these angry gamers are blaming me everywhere instead of blaming their own government.

01:54:24.000 According to a report from Pingwest, public chat groups dedicated to the game on WeChat had also adopted new rules to prevent discussion of the ban and were removing any members who tried to bring it up.

01:54:37.000 The game is set on a small cartoon island and asks players to help a quirky cast of anthropomorphic animal residents with errands and chores while gradually raising money and collecting items to build out their home.

01:54:48.000 Well I think most of us, that's the gist of Animal Crossing, it is a foofy fun family game.

01:54:54.000 But I disagree with you, Adam.

01:54:58.000 It sounds like this activist is saying that the Chinese people don't like him.

01:55:02.000 They're not blaming the government for it.

01:55:03.000 They're blaming him for it.

01:55:05.000 What worries me about this is that through online gaming, you have communication with people in a foreign country.

01:55:13.000 So you have like that archive in Minecraft.

01:55:15.000 If they start banning online games because of things people are saying outside of China, then they're segmenting their population from communicating with the rest of the world.

01:55:23.000 There's already the great Chinese firewall. 0.98

01:55:25.000 They've already tried doing this.

01:55:27.000 Russia has apparently tried doing this.

01:55:28.000 What ends up happening, in my opinion, is if you have the government saying, the United States government did this, And then someone goes online and they speak with an American who says, well, here's what we heard.

01:55:38.000 Then there's doubt.

01:55:39.000 Right.

01:55:40.000 You can't rally your public to support your cause if they're getting information from the other side.

01:55:45.000 Well, but in that same sense, they can't convince their, you know, their public that it's America's fault.

01:55:52.000 If they're mad at the CCP, like Chinese citizens are mad at the CCP and they're blaming them, And the CCP is like, no, no, no, it's America.

01:56:02.000 Like, we're just trying to stop you from, you know, believing what you're saying.

01:56:06.000 It's us, but it's not.

01:56:07.000 It's America.

01:56:08.000 And then they're doing exactly that.

01:56:09.000 They're going in these forums and going, oh, yeah, but these American friends of mine are like, that's not what's going on.

01:56:14.000 But they're banning the forums.

01:56:15.000 They're blocking people.

01:56:17.000 To make sure that their citizens think what they're telling them.

01:56:17.000 Right.

01:56:21.000 So it could go either way, honestly.

01:56:23.000 Both things could be true.

01:56:24.000 But it feels like they're just trying this as a tactic for control.

01:56:29.000 They're just trying to maintain the narrative.

01:56:32.000 They want their citizens to get everything from them and take anything that they could get outside source information and take it away.

01:56:41.000 I'll tell you, I'll tell you this.

01:56:42.000 We've seen the video of the people riding at the Wuhan border.

01:56:46.000 You remember that thing, right?

01:56:47.000 So if those aren't familiar, they like flipped over a squad car, like a van or something.

01:56:51.000 And the Wuhan police were with them fighting the outside.

01:56:56.000 Forces this is why I don't like the idea of the biolab conspiracy theory that I'm sorry the bioweapon conspiracy theory Yeah, I don't I don't know because this might destabilize China.

01:57:05.000 I think it will I think that's exactly what's happening there.

01:57:09.000 They're losing control and They're communists so they they have to have the controllers that doesn't work absolutely if their citizens are If it's bubbling up, I feel it is.

01:57:21.000 Because we've seen these videos.

01:57:23.000 We've seen people in China fighting the police state.

01:57:27.000 And what you gotta realize, when we see videos in the U.S.

01:57:30.000 of people smashing cop cars and setting fires, like, dude, we're a country based on protest and unruliness.

01:57:36.000 It's true.

01:57:36.000 We literally told the king to go shove it.

01:57:39.000 And then we were like, it's our country now.

01:57:41.000 So we protest.

01:57:41.000 It's what we do.

01:57:42.000 I'm not saying it's good when people riot and stuff.

01:57:44.000 Americans, we riot for everything.

01:57:44.000 I'm just saying, come on, man.

01:57:46.000 Football game we won?

01:57:48.000 Riot.

01:57:48.000 Did we lose?

01:57:49.000 Riot.

01:57:49.000 Also riot.

01:57:50.000 In China they don't.

01:57:51.000 In China, you put the wrong post on the internet and they torture you. 0.99

01:57:56.000 We've seen that video of the guy being tortured by the cops and they're like, why did you make fun of us?

01:58:00.000 So the risk for the Chinese to protest seems... I'm not an expert on China, okay?

01:58:05.000 I know there's a lot of pro-China people who like to rag on me, assuming that I think I am.

01:58:09.000 I'm not.

01:58:10.000 But I've seen videos of people, like some woman put a camera in her room. 1.00

01:58:14.000 She had turned her phone on and then police come in and like take her away and she filmed it.

01:58:18.000 Like you say the wrong thing, they come for you.

01:58:20.000 So imagine what these people must've been thinking when they started flipping over a police vehicle.

01:58:24.000 They didn't care anymore.

01:58:25.000 They were like, nothing you could do to me is worse than what's already happening.

01:58:27.000 Exactly.

01:58:28.000 And I think that that's happening right now.

01:58:31.000 Take away someone's video game.

01:58:33.000 That's the final straw.

01:58:35.000 Yeah, man.

01:58:36.000 That's why Trump wasn't Trump talking about football.

01:58:39.000 And he was like, we all miss sports.

01:58:41.000 But he was saying something about like, you can't take away someone's football.

01:58:44.000 Like it's got to start up.

01:58:45.000 We're talking with the sports companies.

01:58:47.000 Yeah, all of them.

01:58:48.000 He's, you know, bringing all of the experts are not experts, the owners, basically.

01:58:52.000 Look at the Roman Colosseum, at least the way it's portrayed in like, you know, fictional narratives or whatever.

01:58:58.000 That was basically a distraction for the people.

01:59:00.000 Yeah.

01:59:00.000 I think it's really funny.

01:59:01.000 They say like, oh, they had all these problems in Rome, but they would come out and they would throw bread to the audience and they would watch these games and it would keep them satiated.

01:59:09.000 We got like four Colosseums in every major city.

01:59:11.000 Basically, yeah.

01:59:13.000 Now here's the thing.

01:59:14.000 I always thought about this.

01:59:14.000 I'm like, man, most of these people don't care about what's going on in the world because they care more about their hometown team versus, you know, the other team, their rival.

01:59:22.000 What happens when the sports stops?

01:59:24.000 All of a sudden, people's team becomes political.

01:59:27.000 Nah, the government is probably thinking, we need people to watch football.

01:59:31.000 I definitely think that.

01:59:33.000 Definitely.

01:59:33.000 Because they probably are looking at China going, whoa, man.

01:59:37.000 They're revolting over there.

01:59:39.000 Right now, because sports has been frozen, eSports is taking center stage.

01:59:44.000 That's a good point.

01:59:44.000 Because people can still play games online.

01:59:46.000 That's true.

01:59:46.000 That's what I'm doing.

01:59:47.000 China is now banning some of these video games.

01:59:50.000 Right.

01:59:50.000 So I'll tell you what, man.

01:59:51.000 What are you going to do now?

01:59:52.000 You can keep your population in the corner, in the dark, just not paying attention because they're staring at the screen, pressing buttons, and harvesting little digital flowers.

02:00:03.000 Take that away from them.

02:00:04.000 They're going to look up and ask what just happened and why. 1.00

02:00:07.000 This is the stupidest thing they could have done. 1.00

02:00:10.000 It's like you've given people... It's almost like you give a dog a treat, and then you try and take it back. 1.00

02:00:15.000 He growls at you.

02:00:16.000 Like, he didn't care about it before, but now that he's got it, you don't take it away from him.

02:00:19.000 So, in that regard, not only are they distracted, but you've given them something that's appeased them.

02:00:25.000 They've grown addicted to it.

02:00:27.000 You take that away.

02:00:28.000 They're not going to protest because of your authoritarian abuses.

02:00:30.000 They're going to protest because you took away their video game.

02:00:33.000 Like, you've created a reason for a revolution.

02:00:36.000 Yep.

02:00:36.000 Nah, I mean, I'm not gonna- I mean, the reason was there.

02:00:38.000 Right.

02:00:39.000 But now it's like- No, no, I'm saying it's a different reason.

02:00:41.000 No, no, it's just the final straw.

02:00:44.000 You put it up there, and it finally breaks the camel's back.

02:00:47.000 Well, no, no, no, it's- I mean, I see what you're saying, but the point I'm trying to make is, if they never had the games in the first place, they'd be doing something else.

02:00:54.000 Okay.

02:00:55.000 Yeah, it just came out, like last week.

02:00:56.000 them this game.

02:00:56.000 Yeah, and just came out and last week and now they're all like, oh,

02:01:00.000 this is so fun. Now take it away from them.

02:01:02.000 Now they know how good how good it was and they're mad they lost it.

02:01:05.000 Yeah. So not only do they have the reason to protest or revolt because

02:01:08.000 of like the border closures, the continued suspension of like, you

02:01:12.000 know, business and everything.

02:01:13.000 Now you've taken away what little reprieve they had in the first

02:01:16.000 place.

02:01:17.000 So I don't look. I mean, whether or not it translates to internal

02:01:20.000 conflict, I think there's a good argument because people like

02:01:24.000 their, you know, novelties.

02:01:26.000 But my bigger concern is with the actions we've seen from the Chinese government, could this contribute to a separation between the Chinese people and people outside of China, which then creates an obedient and, you know, angry population which rallies behind their government?

02:01:41.000 And then when the government says, oh, you know, we banned this because the Americans are putting propaganda and disinformation, a lot of people are going to believe it.

02:01:50.000 Yeah, I guess.

02:01:50.000 And what happens right now if China comes out and says the U.S.

02:01:52.000 just sank our carrier?

02:01:54.000 Imagine if they faked it.

02:01:56.000 Like that carrier they brought out to the ocean.

02:01:59.000 It's like, yeah, everybody is seeing it go out there.

02:02:02.000 And then they're like, oh, America sunk it.

02:02:04.000 That would be insane.

02:02:05.000 So these things have happened, false flags, like the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

02:02:08.000 What if China did that?

02:02:09.000 Their people would not know.

02:02:11.000 And so they would all panic and be like, oh no, we're being attacked by the Americans, oh no.

02:02:15.000 I guess we'll go to war then. 0.95

02:02:16.000 Yeah.

02:02:17.000 So it's funny because a lot of the conspiracy theories we hear about false flags are typically that U.S.

02:02:22.000 citizens talk about the U.S.

02:02:23.000 government.

02:02:24.000 So I think, um, I don't know the full details of the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

02:02:27.000 It got us pulled into the Vietnam war, but it was, it was apparently like fake.

02:02:32.000 They said like a US ship was attacked and never was or something like that.

02:02:34.000 I don't know the full details.

02:02:35.000 You have to, you can look it up.

02:02:37.000 But it's funny because we never talk about other governments doing the same thing.

02:02:40.000 And that's why I'm concerned when they start cutting off communication, which China's been doing for a long time, it creates the opportunity for them to lie to their people and rally them to, you know, basically support militaristic actions against other countries.

02:02:53.000 Yeah, exactly.

02:02:54.000 Did you find it?

02:02:54.000 Yeah.

02:02:55.000 Yeah.

02:02:56.000 Apparently it was kind of a false flag.

02:02:59.000 They found something they called Tonkin ghosts, which were false radar images.

02:03:03.000 They were not actually North Vietnamese torpedo boats.

02:03:07.000 Well, they claimed the ship got hit, right?

02:03:09.000 Yeah.

02:03:09.000 It didn't.

02:03:10.000 Yeah.

02:03:10.000 So one of the, one of, okay.

02:03:11.000 So one of the aircraft was damaged.

02:03:16.000 One real and one falsely claimed confrontation between ships of North Vietnam and the U.S.

02:03:20.000 Look, so much goes on at top secret levels, we'll never know.

02:03:23.000 Yeah.

02:03:25.000 But, could you imagine living in a country where they take away your video games?

02:03:29.000 Or the internet?

02:03:29.000 Nope.

02:03:30.000 Definitely not.

02:03:31.000 No way.

02:03:32.000 I would riot. 0.99

02:03:33.000 You keep your people fat and happy, man. 0.97

02:03:35.000 I love games.

02:03:36.000 I've always been a gamer.

02:03:37.000 They're pushing hard.

02:03:38.000 And people are already riled up.

02:03:40.000 So I guess we'll see how this pans out.

02:03:42.000 Yeah, I guess so.

02:03:45.000 Let's grab the last few Super Chats here.

02:03:45.000 Word.

02:03:48.000 If you haven't already, hitting the like button really does help the channel.

02:03:52.000 Sharing the podcast, sharing really helps.

02:03:55.000 You know, look, if you go to youtube.com right now, there's a section called COVID and it's going to be mainstream media.

02:04:00.000 The likelihood you will get up-to-date, rational information is relatively low.

02:04:05.000 And I mean it.

02:04:06.000 Because what we do is, not only do we, we do look at mainstream media reporting, but we actually kind of break it down and go through it.

02:04:13.000 I didn't just pull up the Fox News story and say, look at that.

02:04:15.000 I pulled up the AP, I pulled up tweets for reference, I pulled up other stories, the Washington Post, and I try to do, I try to break down and factor what these organizations are doing to get ahead of the curve.

02:04:25.000 YouTube deranks us, and they give the front page to the channels that are two weeks, two months behind the story.

02:04:30.000 Yep.

02:04:31.000 Nothing we can do about it.

02:04:33.000 But you can do it by sharing it.

02:04:33.000 But I'll tell you what.

02:04:35.000 There's nothing more powerful.

02:04:37.000 No algorithm could stop people sharing.

02:04:41.000 So they can try and suppress this channel and these videos, which they've done, but if you choose to share it because you like it, then we get way more play than CNN ever will.

02:04:50.000 Of course.

02:04:51.000 And you guys rock.

02:04:52.000 Appreciate it.

02:04:53.000 Yeah, man.

02:04:53.000 But also make sure to follow us, and if you follow Adam, at AdamKrigler, you can send him story ideas, and then, you know, we actually fairly often use the stuff that you guys submit.

02:05:04.000 That's true.

02:05:04.000 You guys are great.

02:05:05.000 You give me all sorts of stuff, and pretty much every other show, we're doing something that you've given me.

02:05:12.000 So, really appreciate you guys out there.

02:05:14.000 And you can follow me at Timcast on Instagram and Twitter.

02:05:18.000 Follow me on Instagram if you want to see fun videos.

02:05:20.000 I usually just post like little silly skate stuff we have.

02:05:22.000 We will start making skate videos soon, by the way.

02:05:26.000 We're getting warmed up.

02:05:27.000 Oh yeah.

02:05:28.000 Adam got a bunch of pretty good tricks.

02:05:30.000 It's like fakie, body varial, blunt, rock, like revert.

02:05:34.000 It was smooth.

02:05:35.000 It was a good trick.

02:05:36.000 One of the best tricks we've done on the mini ramp so far.

02:05:38.000 We've got a lot to come.

02:05:39.000 I'm loving the mini ramp.

02:05:41.000 All right, let's, uh, I'm, I'm trying to figure out where we're at.

02:05:44.000 Here we go.

02:05:46.000 Based Oki says, don't skip over my Liz Crokan question, please.

02:05:50.000 All right.

02:05:51.000 I apologize for missing your question.

02:05:53.000 I will, I will tell you the more people we get, the harder it is to read everyone's questions.

02:05:58.000 And I got to admit, like, even now we do like an hour of, of Q and A. I know.

02:06:02.000 And it's getting harder and harder because more and more people are posting.

02:06:05.000 But it's great, we had some serious good conversation though from the Super Chats, so we really do appreciate you guys.

02:06:10.000 Yeah, but it does slow us down.

02:06:12.000 Well, it's not about slowing us down, it's just like, we want to read as many as we can.

02:06:15.000 But we are doing a two hour show, so, I mean, we're already over right now, but we gotta do it.

02:06:21.000 And it's cool, but here's the thing, when we end up with like 15,000 people watching, more Super Chats are coming in than we can read.

02:06:28.000 And over time, it just would never stop.

02:06:30.000 So it's like at a certain point, we've got to move.

02:06:32.000 So I apologize, Based, for not getting your question in, but I will say, if we don't, you can try and ask it again.

02:06:39.000 I'm really sorry if we can't get to it.

02:06:41.000 Lightspeed says, if Tim Poole was president, he would interrupt meetings to read Super Chats.

02:06:45.000 Probably.

02:06:46.000 Dude, I would be so disrupted every meeting.

02:06:48.000 His tiny gavel.

02:06:49.000 I'd have a gavel.

02:06:51.000 I'd be in like a Senate meeting and they'd be like, and I'd be like, no!

02:06:55.000 I would be worse than Ron Paul.

02:06:56.000 I would be Mr. No x10.

02:06:58.000 I'd be like, No!

02:06:59.000 No.

02:07:01.000 No, that's not true.

02:07:02.000 I'd probably be like, I don't know.

02:07:04.000 I have no idea.

02:07:05.000 It's complicated.

02:07:05.000 All right, here we go.

02:07:08.000 Marcus Aurelius says, hey guys, if you want to learn more about China, go find a channel called China Uncensored.

02:07:13.000 They do good work.

02:07:14.000 I've heard good things.

02:07:16.000 Buck says, second, the recommendation for Serial Experiments Lane.

02:07:19.000 It's a videodrome, the anime, but it's in a good way, and a must-see for fans of cerebral sci-fi and horror.

02:07:26.000 Sounds good.

02:07:28.000 Nasfraj says, I work for Tesla Energy in the Bay Area, and Elon's honestly been taking pretty good care of us and work is still going.

02:07:33.000 Cool.

02:07:34.000 That's good to hear.

02:07:36.000 Aaron Cowell says, wasn't some of the reason for the Trump bucks to make it easier for people to keep money flowing in the economy?

02:07:43.000 Yes, it was.

02:07:44.000 Yep.

02:07:44.000 Sword, thanks for becoming a member.

02:07:45.000 Thank you.

02:07:46.000 Gustavo says, about immortality, do you are prepared for an immortal Trump?

02:07:52.000 Immortal Xi Jinping?

02:07:53.000 Immortal Hillary Clinton? 0.88

02:07:54.000 That's a great question.

02:07:55.000 I am not.

02:07:57.000 Austin says, We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false, said the CIA director in 1981, supposedly.

02:08:05.000 Hmm, wow.

02:08:06.000 Tiller says, You and Kalian Noir on the range would be awesome to watch. 1.00

02:08:11.000 No cuts, just raw footage.

02:08:12.000 You and Kalian, yeah. 0.91

02:08:14.000 I mean, I'm down when this is all over.

02:08:17.000 Kermit Loves Bacon says, Timmy should get Madge from Black Guns Matter on. 0.99

02:08:20.000 Oh, totally.

02:08:20.000 I think I've met that guy, too.

02:08:25.000 I mean, we don't talk about everything.

02:08:29.000 Like, I can't say Voldemort's name.

02:08:31.000 But I have a limit, right?

02:08:32.000 If there's a story that's big and breaking, I will put that story out there.

02:08:40.000 I haven't.

02:08:41.000 No.

02:08:41.000 You guys?

02:08:42.000 No.

02:08:42.000 I'll look into it.

02:08:44.000 Justin Forces, I've floated the idea of two years in any public sector job, including military.

02:08:48.000 But your coworkers must verify that you went above the bare minimum of effort.

02:08:52.000 Voting should be earned, but not impossible for the poor and disabled.

02:08:55.000 That's a good point.

02:08:59.000 This is my third Super Chat tonight.

02:09:02.000 Please don't skip me again.

02:09:03.000 I just want a yes or no, please.

02:09:07.000 I haven't been doing any guest segments with anybody at all.

02:09:13.000 And it's like we actually had a bunch of people planned on doing shows with.

02:09:17.000 And I'm not gonna tell you who this was.

02:09:19.000 I actually had a very, very massive...

02:09:23.000 Yeah, I'm bummed.

02:09:24.000 collaboration planned that is now effectively canceled and it's a huge bummer.

02:09:28.000 Yeah, I'm bummed because I know what it's about.

02:09:31.000 Yep, can't say, can't say.

02:09:32.000 Can't tell you, but I know.

02:09:33.000 But there was a really big thing planned, so I'm not doing, you know, for the most part, anything with anybody.

02:09:38.000 You know, I don't know, maybe things will change in the future.

02:09:40.000 Roddy says, and look, people have asked about doing Skype stuff, and it's like, we just, we didn't set any of this stuff up for it.

02:09:46.000 This was set up for in-studio interviews.

02:09:48.000 Yeah.

02:09:49.000 You know?

02:09:50.000 I've actually, I did the Skype thing with Crowder.

02:09:53.000 It was actually hard.

02:09:53.000 Really?

02:09:54.000 Yeah, because...

02:09:56.000 I don't know what the problem is.

02:09:58.000 I should have been able to easily set it up considering the gear we have, but when I configured everything, it was not set up for Skype.

02:10:04.000 And so it's giving me codec issues and it interferes because we got like five cameras set up.

02:10:08.000 We got all these microphones and everything.

02:10:10.000 Yeah.

02:10:11.000 Probably if I started from the ground up planning for something like Skype, which I should have, but we have another machine we set up for different stuff that wouldn't work for this show.

02:10:20.000 It's confusing.

02:10:22.000 Roddy says, and if things go bad in China, the old nostalgic leader Jiang Zemin will come to the rescue and overflow things just to keep in power.

02:10:29.000 Hmm.

02:10:30.000 Blaze says, America, don't let a good opportunity go to waste. 0.96

02:10:33.000 This pandemic will be used against us and our liberties unless we use it.

02:10:37.000 This jolt to the economy can be used.

02:10:39.000 Sports, concert, work all paused.

02:10:40.000 This is the moment.

02:10:42.000 DK6 says, paying 1% of my stimulus forward, what skaters do you follow on Instagram?

02:10:47.000 I follow some young skaters.

02:10:49.000 They are incredible.

02:10:50.000 I follow the big magazines.

02:10:51.000 Man, the young skaters are crazy.

02:10:53.000 Aurelien Girard.

02:10:55.000 Yeah.

02:10:55.000 I don't even think that guy's real.

02:10:57.000 I feel like I'm watching a video game or CGI.

02:10:59.000 Those tricks are so insane.

02:11:00.000 I like Daewon Song.

02:11:02.000 Oh, Daewon's amazing.

02:11:03.000 He's really fun and different.

02:11:07.000 Yeah, who else?

02:11:07.000 I mean, Naija's just so clean.

02:11:10.000 Every single thing he poses.

02:11:10.000 They're all robots.

02:11:12.000 That's it.

02:11:12.000 They're all robots.

02:11:13.000 They're doing these crazy tricks that are just beyond me.

02:11:19.000 I love skating and I won't ever stop, but I won't be there.

02:11:22.000 I'm not going to try those things.

02:11:25.000 Bofadiz says, will the Chinese Boogaloo be called the Flugaloo if they all have the sickness? 0.80

02:11:31.000 Someone's name is Tim Pool versus Ben Shapiro 2024.

02:11:34.000 Let's make this happen.

02:11:35.000 Battle of the well-informed.

02:11:37.000 I think for the most part, we wouldn't disagree because Ben's very libertarian in a lot of issues.

02:11:42.000 And so ultimately we disagree and be like, but we agree on the freedom of the person to, you know what I mean?

02:11:47.000 I listen to both of them and I'm like, yeah, you guys agree on more things than you probably I think his conservatism comes a lot from his spirituality, which I don't have.

02:11:58.000 So we'd ultimately be like, I respect your right to believe and support your religion.

02:12:00.000 He'd be like, okay, that's great.

02:12:04.000 It's libertarian.

02:12:06.000 Che says, Tim, did you know that while everyone is distracted by this pandemic, Congress is quietly trying to pass a bill that will effectively end end-to-end encryption?

02:12:15.000 Look Up, Earn It Act.

02:12:16.000 I have seen that.

02:12:17.000 I really need to look it up.

02:12:18.000 Would you mind?

02:12:19.000 I will make a note.

02:12:20.000 Make a note of it.

02:12:21.000 East Shore says, I didn't get any pics of the National Guard clearing our facility, but they were great.

02:12:25.000 Also, just check Twitter, and the Wuhan lab story isn't trending.

02:12:28.000 Why am I not surprised?

02:12:29.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

02:12:30.000 Not surprising.

02:12:31.000 It's what people prioritize.

02:12:33.000 Wolf in Coyote says, Hey Tim, don't know if anyone else told you for yesterday's video, but amphibious assault ships are both mini-carriers and troop transports with interior docks for transport hovercrafts and marine amphibious tanks APCs.

02:12:46.000 Cool.

02:12:47.000 Let's see.

02:12:50.000 Karambit says, Animal Crossing is the new Boaty McBoatface, the last straw that caused Brexit and will cause the revolution in China. 0.87

02:12:57.000 Amazing.

02:12:58.000 No, but people keep talking about it.

02:12:59.000 Yeah, we'll take another note of it, I guess.

02:13:00.000 documentary. We have not. No, but people keep talking about it. Yeah, we'll check, we'll take

02:13:05.000 another note of it, I guess. Yeah. Patrick says, hey Tim and company, here's a few more Trump bucks

02:13:09.000 for you. Keep doing what you do. I have to say you are the only liberal journalist that I enjoy

02:13:12.000 watching on a regular basis. Nice. But, but policy never is like a big issue about it.

02:13:17.000 It's like if I said I like social programs, the media is lying.

02:13:22.000 What does my policy position have to do with anything if I point out the media is lying?

02:13:25.000 It's like, it's not an issue of liberal or conservative, it's an issue of honesty.

02:13:28.000 Yeah.

02:13:29.000 Yeah, but what can you do if the media wants to make money so they're willing to lie to get money?

02:13:34.000 I got it.

02:13:34.000 Thank you.

02:13:35.000 I haven't seen it.

02:13:35.000 Don't know what it is.

02:13:36.000 Cool.

02:13:36.000 Got it, thank you.

02:13:38.000 Corey says, what do you think of Out of the Shadows on YouTube?

02:13:40.000 I haven't seen it.

02:13:41.000 Don't know what it is.

02:13:42.000 Brian M says, check out YouTube guys named Neebs Gaming for animators.

02:13:46.000 They are amazing guys and huge animators, cool.

02:13:48.000 Kami says, watch Serial Experiments Lane.

02:13:51.000 It will change your world.

02:13:52.000 Now I really want to.

02:13:54.000 Cody says, have you played Apex Legends?

02:13:56.000 I didn't, did you?

02:13:56.000 No.

02:13:58.000 They're all the same, it feels like.

02:14:00.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:14:01.000 All these... Overwatch.

02:14:02.000 Fortnite, Overwatch.

02:14:04.000 I mean, I've never... I actually don't know that much about Apex Legends, but isn't it one of those free games that like... It's like a team first-person shooter.

02:14:14.000 Yeah, I mean... Oh yeah, it's like... I grew up playing Counter-Strike, and that was fun, and I kind of got it out of my system, so that doesn't really do much for me anymore.

02:14:22.000 I like Destiny 2 because you can choose to go into, like, the 6v6, you know, multiplayer, fighting, killing each other, or you can do the story mode, all with your same character, and that doesn't really exist anymore.

02:14:36.000 Yeah.

02:14:38.000 John says immortal Trump could only be president for four more years and immortal Putin on the other hand.

02:14:43.000 Yeah, that's that's worried.

02:14:45.000 Based Oki says weak answer, dude.

02:14:47.000 We're not going to be in quarantine forever.

02:14:49.000 Come on, it would get a lot of views at the very least.

02:14:52.000 Uh, you know what, man?

02:14:54.000 When people try to bother me because they want airtime on my platform, it's one of the most annoying things ever.

02:14:58.000 I get inundated with emails from people saying, like, I should have to debate somebody.

02:15:02.000 And it's like, dude, the amount of emails I get from people who think that I should do something with someone because they want their position out there, you have no idea.

02:15:10.000 And I'm not trying to be mean.

02:15:11.000 I apologize if it's a little bit disrespectful.

02:15:13.000 I'm just like, I get 50 emails a week where they're like, why aren't you talking about, you know, the electrical current that just struck in Alaska?

02:15:21.000 You have no idea what's going on.

02:15:22.000 I thought you're fake.

02:15:23.000 You're fake news.

02:15:24.000 And I'm like, I get these emails all the time.

02:15:26.000 I have one person emailing me saying that because I'm not talking about like this one new government program that I've never heard of.

02:15:32.000 It's like, dude, I just, I read the news.

02:15:33.000 I talk about what I can talk about.

02:15:35.000 I interview people.

02:15:36.000 We had a guy on talking about school choice.

02:15:38.000 We had a guy on talking about like traditional marriage and stuff.

02:15:41.000 I, I, I've never talked to anybody about Pizzagate or QAnon or any of this stuff.

02:15:45.000 So it's like, I don't understand why anyone would expect that I would actually have those guests on.

02:15:48.000 Yeah.

02:15:50.000 I can talk about China.

02:15:51.000 It's in the news.

02:15:54.000 Where are we at?

02:15:55.000 Umi says, Tim, do you play Roblox?

02:15:57.000 I do not.

02:15:58.000 Phantom Boomer says, you and Coleen and Taryn Butler's school would be freaking awesome.

02:16:03.000 68, retired in San Diego, and bored out of my mind.

02:16:05.000 Johnny Appleseed says, watch out of shadows.

02:16:08.000 Million views per day.

02:16:10.000 PS, are you riding with Biden?

02:16:12.000 I am certainly not.

02:16:13.000 Nope.

02:16:14.000 Gareth says, the Chinese people might seem docile, but they have always had a limit to what they endure, and more individualistic than they let on. 1.00

02:16:22.000 Waldo says, 30M behind in the stream, but a good way to get people to take their vote seriously while encouraging people to grow up, in my opinion.

02:16:30.000 Raise the voting age back to 25 unless you serve, then you can vote at 18.

02:16:33.000 That's interesting.

02:16:34.000 That's interesting, yeah.

02:16:34.000 Nerdy says, ADV, China, Serpentsa, and Laowai were the ones who are supposed to be on here soon, no?

02:16:41.000 Well, a lot of people have recommended stuff, but we never, like, we're not doing guests or anything, so we'll see what happens in the future.

02:16:46.000 But I think we're about ready to wrap up.

02:16:47.000 We went a little over today, but it's cool.

02:16:49.000 Yeah.
