Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - TimcastIRL - The Far Left Seattle Occupation "CHAZ" Has Gone INSANE, Demand We Abolish COURTS

00:00:00.000 Yeah, I don't have it.

00:00:10.000 How's it going, everybody?

00:00:11.000 Welcome to the TimCast IRL Podcast.

00:00:13.000 We are live!

00:00:14.000 We got an occupation happening in Seattle with a bunch of crazy people.

00:00:17.000 Apparently someone pulled a gun on someone.

00:00:20.000 Seems like it's just going crazy.

00:00:22.000 We got another really big story, though.

00:00:24.000 We definitely have to start with what's going on in Seattle at the CHAZ, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.

00:00:29.000 But I'll tell you what's really freaking me out.

00:00:31.000 A lot of you might not play the game Magic the Gathering.

00:00:34.000 But they've just banned a bunch of cards for being racist.

00:00:38.000 That, to me, is one of the freakiest things ever.

00:00:41.000 Because, who cares about... It's a game about goblins fighting vampires, or, you know, it's like magic and elves.

00:00:48.000 And now they're like, but these cards are racist, so they are now banned.

00:00:51.000 You found some interesting stuff about a dog.

00:00:53.000 Yeah, one card from the 90s.

00:00:56.000 Yeah, but it was recently that they categorized it, right?

00:00:59.000 Didn't you say that?

00:01:00.000 Because Gatherer, I don't know how long Gatherer has been around, but... Can you hear me?

00:01:05.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're good.

00:01:06.000 Yeah, you know, it's like, I don't know when Gatherer became a thing, but...

00:01:10.000 I don't think they designated that number.

00:01:12.000 Gatherer is a database for Magic the Gathering cards.

00:01:14.000 Magic the Gathering is one of the most popular, if not the most prominent card game in the world.

00:01:19.000 It is. Definitely is.

00:01:20.000 And there's some cards where you're like, what were they thinking when they...

00:01:23.000 Basically one card looks like a bunch of clan guys, and the number they databased it as is 1488.

00:01:29.000 Yeah, it's like, okay, come on.

00:01:32.000 It even looks like some Klansman in that card.

00:01:34.000 It's pretty nuts.

00:01:36.000 But some of these cards, it's like shocking how insane it is to ban.

00:01:40.000 So anyway, the point is, man, I don't care if you play or don't play Magic the Gathering, what we're gonna be talking about is the culture revolution.

00:01:45.000 And it's getting freaky.

00:01:47.000 Banning movies, banning books, it's been getting worse.

00:01:50.000 Now you're saying like you open up Netflix and Netflix is like, have you paid penance to racial justice today?

00:01:56.000 Here's all these black films to watch.

00:01:58.000 Yeah, watch this movie.

00:01:59.000 There was some dude who made a video where he was like, why is my nine-year-old kid getting prompted on EA to like confirm that they're not racist?

00:02:05.000 Yep, it's messed up.

00:02:06.000 Dude, it's religious indoctrination is now infecting all of these companies. 0.63

00:02:11.000 Yep, all of them.

00:02:12.000 Freaky.

00:02:45.000 How about we start talking about the Capitol Hill Free Zone?

00:02:48.000 Yeah, sure.

00:02:49.000 Autonomous Zone, I'm sorry.

00:02:50.000 Chaz. 0.90

00:02:50.000 Autonomous Zone. 0.90

00:02:50.000 Chaz. 0.90

00:02:52.000 It sounds an awful lot like Chad.

00:02:54.000 So apparently, apparently they've gone nuts.

00:02:56.000 Oh, have they already?

00:02:57.000 Yeah, already.

00:02:58.000 Well, I mean, they were nuts to start.

00:03:00.000 Didn't they have Free before?

00:03:02.000 It was the Free Zone.

00:03:03.000 So it's Free Chaz?

00:03:05.000 But no, but now it's like some people are calling it the Free Seattle Zone, the Autonomous Seattle Zone.

00:03:10.000 Now it's Capitol Hill because it's a specific neighborhood.

00:03:12.000 Oh, man.

00:03:13.000 No, I'll tell you what.

00:03:14.000 For the most part, like on the surface, I'm actually cool with it.

00:03:18.000 If you're talking about an Occupy Wall Street style, people banging drums and singing songs in the street, and the community is totally cool with it, I got no issue.

00:03:28.000 But now you've got people showing up with guns, you've got lawlessness.

00:03:33.000 Some dude apparently was tagging, so he got confronted, then someone pulled a gun, and then somebody was like, dude, we're the police now!

00:03:40.000 Okay, we're the police now!

00:03:41.000 You do what we say.

00:03:42.000 Wow.

00:03:43.000 Yeah, great.

00:03:43.000 People are freaking out.

00:03:44.000 They're like, this is getting scary because you've got a bunch of woke, crazy people saying they're the police.

00:03:50.000 Apparently one of the guys is accused of being a sex offender by some of the other activists.

00:03:54.000 It's like now you have this guy walking around claiming to be in charge.

00:03:54.000 What?

00:03:57.000 This is what you asked for.

00:03:59.000 They're calling him, what are they calling him, a warlord or something?

00:03:59.000 It's true.

00:04:01.000 You know some people are going to businesses and telling them they need to pay money.

00:04:06.000 What, really?

00:04:07.000 You need to pay us money.

00:04:08.000 $500.

00:04:09.000 No, where'd you hear that?

00:04:10.000 I read an article about it.

00:04:11.000 What?

00:04:13.000 I did read that they were forcing businesses to, quote, disaffiliate from the city.

00:04:17.000 Yeah, it was from one of the business owners.

00:04:19.000 He was just talking to them.

00:04:21.000 They're like, you know, can I pay in Bitcoin?

00:04:23.000 And they're like, yeah, sure, sure.

00:04:25.000 You can pay with Bitcoin.

00:04:26.000 So they were like, he's like, oh, OK, well, what's the thing I need?

00:04:29.000 Where do I pay it?

00:04:30.000 And he was going to pay it.

00:04:31.000 And then they left and haven't come back yet.

00:04:33.000 And he's like, I don't I can barely even afford that.

00:04:35.000 Did you hear about what happened in Minneapolis, that hotel?

00:04:38.000 I heard a little bit about it, how they kind of gave me a couple rooms, then they took over the whole place.

00:04:44.000 Oh, they moved in.

00:04:45.000 Yeah, and then they posted a GoFundMe, raised $150,000.

00:04:47.000 And they were like, the owner has graciously allowed us to use the building.

00:04:51.000 You know what really happens?

00:04:52.000 I don't think so.

00:04:53.000 No, you get a mob of crazy people smashing and destroying the city, and they walk in and say, it's our building.

00:04:57.000 Look at me, look at me.

00:04:58.000 We are the Sheraton now.

00:05:00.000 And the guy goes, okay, yeah, please, please, just take it.

00:05:02.000 Don't hurt me.

00:05:03.000 And then they turn to the camera and go, he's graciously letting us use it.

00:05:06.000 Yeah, under duress, you lunatics.

00:05:08.000 Now he's evicted everybody.

00:05:10.000 As soon as things died down, he's like, get out!

00:05:13.000 Evicted 200 people, and they're like, but it's our reference. 0.99

00:05:16.000 He didn't even evict them per se, he just cancelled the cards so they couldn't get back into the room.

00:05:21.000 Yeah.

00:05:21.000 Oh, is that what happened?

00:05:22.000 So they were starting to complain, like, well I can't get back in my room, and he's like, oh, I don't care.

00:05:28.000 Welcome to the real world.

00:05:29.000 I wonder where all that money's gonna go.

00:05:32.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:05:33.000 I mean, I keep seeing, like, you support Black Lives Matter, you're just supporting Democrats.

00:05:38.000 Right, exactly.

00:05:39.000 It's the same foundation.

00:05:41.000 Did we talk about the Deshanti Claw thing the Democrats did?

00:05:43.000 Yeah.

00:05:44.000 I looked it up, it's true.

00:05:45.000 I know.

00:05:46.000 That's what I said.

00:05:47.000 Okay, okay.

00:05:47.000 It's terrible.

00:05:49.000 The Democrats, they wore these claws, they're called kente claws. 1.00

00:05:53.000 And it turns out the ones they wore specifically came from the Ashanti Empire, which made a fortune dealing in slavery with the British Empire.

00:05:59.000 Yep.

00:06:01.000 Selling off their own people. 0.99

00:06:02.000 What did you think they did on purpose?

00:06:03.000 That's amazing.

00:06:04.000 They were like, they had no idea.

00:06:06.000 No, that was a virtue signal.

00:06:09.000 Somebody had to know.

00:06:10.000 That's all it was.

00:06:11.000 Somebody, listen.

00:06:12.000 You think someone was like, oh man, this is going to be great.

00:06:14.000 They're going to wear these and make fools of themselves. 0.99

00:06:17.000 No, they had no idea what they were doing.

00:06:19.000 Zero clue.

00:06:21.000 In 1994, a Magic the Gathering card was made.

00:06:24.000 And what is that?

00:06:25.000 That is your cat.

00:06:27.000 Bucko is yelling.

00:06:28.000 Anyway, Magic the Gathering card was made.

00:06:31.000 And apparently the artist, I guess they're saying, was racist.

00:06:35.000 And then it got databased under 1488.

00:06:37.000 Somebody knew exactly what they were doing.

00:06:39.000 When they did that, they thought it was funny, right?

00:06:42.000 Or they were doing it on purpose.

00:06:43.000 Well, we'll get to this, but I'm making a point, right?

00:06:45.000 Because we'll talk about the magic stuff next.

00:06:45.000 Okay.

00:06:48.000 Somebody got these claws from the Democrats and had to know exactly what they were and where they were from.

00:06:53.000 These claws were from a specific tribe that was like slave traders. 0.95

00:06:53.000 Definitely. 0.95

00:06:57.000 Yep, it's true.

00:06:59.000 Okay, anyway, but back to the Capitol Hill Free Zone.

00:07:01.000 Yes, so the Democrats are basically, you know, supporting this.

00:07:05.000 Yep.

00:07:06.000 Bowing to it, bending the knee to it.

00:07:08.000 Although they are going back on the defund the police thing.

00:07:10.000 They're trying to separate themselves from that.

00:07:12.000 And to be specific, I mean the Black Lives Matter stuff.

00:07:14.000 Okay.

00:07:14.000 Which is exactly what they're, you know, saying in this, uh... So I have this article, right?

00:07:19.000 And it's really funny, because if you look at the pictures, everybody there's white. 0.98

00:07:23.000 There's some people who are not white.

00:07:23.000 Yeah.

00:07:25.000 But this is the article that was posted, I guess, and I don't even know who posted it.

00:07:28.000 Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry.

00:07:29.000 They translated, uh, they transcribed the actual spoken list of demands.

00:07:34.000 Oh, okay.

00:07:34.000 Yeah, so it says, the demands of the collective black voices at Free Capitol Hill to the government of Seattle, Washington.

00:07:40.000 I don't want to read too much, but I want to highlight one specific thing where they say, the first demand, the number one demand, the Seattle Police Department and attached court system are beyond reform.

00:07:51.000 We do not request reform.

00:07:52.000 We demand abolition.

00:07:54.000 We demand the Seattle City Council and the mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached criminal justice apparatus.

00:08:02.000 This means 100% of funding, including existing pensions for Seattle police.

00:08:06.000 At an equal level of priority, we also demand that the city disallow the operations of ICE in the city of Seattle.

00:08:12.000 You see?

00:08:13.000 You give them an inch, they take 50 miles.

00:08:15.000 Now they want to abolish the courts.

00:08:18.000 All the Democrats are trying to walk this back, though.

00:08:21.000 Bernie Sanders was like, no, we don't want to abolish the police.

00:08:24.000 And Joe Biden just issued a statement, probably from some 20-year-old who works for him because he's sleeping.

00:08:29.000 I think Nancy Pelosi's response was, I guess that's a decision for local jurisdictions.

00:08:33.000 We need to dodge the question.

00:08:35.000 Yeah, you're drafting a bill on police reform.

00:08:39.000 Give us an answer.

00:08:40.000 What's your opinion?

00:08:41.000 But she was like, local jurisdictions will take care of it. 1.00

00:08:43.000 Oh, yeah.

00:08:45.000 You will not enjoy living in a city with no police.

00:08:47.000 And I'm gonna show you why right now.

00:08:49.000 Check out this tweet.

00:08:52.000 I don't know who this is.

00:08:53.000 Presumably some person just down in Seattle.

00:08:56.000 He said, Seattle rapper and alleged sex trafficker Raz assaulted graffiti artists with a huge group of goons just for tagging, forced them out of the zone, followed them 10 blocks, and then one of them pulled a gun on them when they tried to defend themselves.

00:09:11.000 Wow.

00:09:12.000 I'm assuming it means one of Raz's goons or whatever.

00:09:14.000 So on Reddit, Somebody was posting about this and they posted a video where in it you can hear someone say, we're the police now.

00:09:22.000 Yeah, I saw that video.

00:09:23.000 He's like, we're the police now.

00:09:24.000 Like we have to take care of this place.

00:09:26.000 So apparently though, uh, the dude Raz, they were mad because the tagger was tagging up a building that people lived in and they were like, we got to keep this clean and safe.

00:09:26.000 Yeah.

00:09:33.000 Yeah.

00:09:33.000 You, you heard him say like, did you, did you talk to the owner of this building?

00:09:36.000 You know, the, the owner of this building is allowing us to be here.

00:09:36.000 Right.

00:09:39.000 Like we gotta, we gotta give respect to, you know, to the, the building owner.

00:09:43.000 Like, Oh, That's pretty legit.

00:09:46.000 Like, all right, okay.

00:09:47.000 And then the guy's like, pfft, F off.

00:09:48.000 You can't tell him what to do?

00:09:49.000 Yeah.

00:09:50.000 Yeah, welcome to anarchy, dude.

00:09:51.000 I'm tagging this.

00:09:52.000 Who are you?

00:09:52.000 Right.

00:09:53.000 But think about how hilarious that is.

00:09:54.000 That's just the beginning.

00:09:56.000 You think it sounds cool that Raz was like, hey, the business, the guy who owns this building, you know, he's letting us be here?

00:10:01.000 Mm-hmm.

00:10:02.000 You think that was a cool thing?

00:10:03.000 Well, I wouldn't say cool, no.

00:10:06.000 But it's a step in the right direction, I guess?

00:10:09.000 I think it's a perfect example of what these people really want.

00:10:12.000 They want the same power for themselves.

00:10:14.000 Good point.

00:10:15.000 So they talk about how, you know, we gotta abolish this, abolish that, end the bourgeoisie or whatever.

00:10:20.000 But as soon as they get power, they're like, don't worry, we'll protect the business owners.

00:10:22.000 We'll protect the rich property owners.

00:10:24.000 We won't allow you, a poor person, to write on this building because the property owner doesn't want it. 0.98

00:10:29.000 Now, I got no problem with the property owner saying, don't tag my building.

00:10:31.000 Isn't that like what mobsters would do?

00:10:33.000 Exactly.

00:10:34.000 Like, you're under our protection now.

00:10:35.000 Don't you worry.

00:10:36.000 As long as you pay up.

00:10:37.000 500 bucks!

00:10:38.000 That's what the business owner was saying.

00:10:40.000 Here's the point.

00:10:41.000 This guy says, you know, this autonomous thing is all about commune and freedom.

00:10:46.000 The moment they're handed the reins, they go doing the exact same thing they accused the police of doing.

00:10:52.000 They protect the landowners.

00:10:54.000 Subwill the people. 0.99

00:10:55.000 Look, look, if you own property, people don't have a right to destroy it, okay?

00:11:01.000 There are certain, I'm probably, I don't want to be absolute on this, like depending on what the property is, if you're like, you know, infringing on someone else's rights in some capacity.

00:11:09.000 But the point is, this dude is just trying to gain the power of the police.

00:11:14.000 And that's why his goons were like, we're the police now!

00:11:17.000 That's their real complaint.

00:11:19.000 It's like I was saying, dude, during Occupy Wall Street, when they told me about flipping the pyramid, They're like, we want to flip the pyramid over.

00:11:25.000 And a dumb person goes, then all of the poor people will be on top.

00:11:28.000 That's impossible.

00:11:30.000 You can't just make poor people rich and in power.

00:11:32.000 Right.

00:11:32.000 It doesn't work that way.

00:11:33.000 No, what happens is the pyramid crumbles into a pile, and now it's a destroyed, dilapidated pile of bricks.

00:11:40.000 But at least those people are on top now because they flipped it.

00:11:42.000 You know what I mean?

00:11:43.000 Sure.

00:11:44.000 That's what it is.

00:11:45.000 Get rid of the police.

00:11:45.000 They say abolish the police.

00:11:47.000 Look at me.

00:11:48.000 We are the police now.

00:11:50.000 That's literally what they did.

00:11:51.000 They're right now saying, we want to abolish the police.

00:11:54.000 And as soon as they take a space and the police are gone, they assume all that power.

00:11:58.000 And they do the same thing the police did.

00:12:00.000 They just want the reins, man.

00:12:01.000 That's it.

00:12:02.000 So I got this tweet thread from Jake Hanrahan.

00:12:04.000 Now, Jake, Jake's a real journalist.

00:12:07.000 Jake has actually covered and gone on the ground and dealt with real extremists and real revolutionaries.

00:12:13.000 That's why I think his threat is particularly hilarious, because what do you think his opinion is going to be, having actually covered real far-right groups with guns doing military training in Eastern Europe, and actually dealing with revolutionary anarchists and things like that?

00:12:26.000 I have no idea.

00:12:27.000 You think, when he goes down to this little Antifa thing, how do you think he's going to feel about it?

00:12:31.000 I expect a lot of giggles.

00:12:35.000 He makes fun of them.

00:12:36.000 Yeah.

00:12:37.000 Look at this.

00:12:37.000 Not surprising.

00:12:38.000 So hold on, hold on.

00:12:39.000 He posted a picture.

00:12:40.000 Quote, regime encampment.

00:12:42.000 Oh my god, get real.

00:12:44.000 LARPing as if it's Syria. 0.95

00:12:46.000 He says, if the regime thing is a joke, then fair play, that's funny.

00:12:49.000 Seems like a lot of so-called radicals are getting very upset about what a journalist has to say on Twitter, though.

00:12:54.000 I just think you make yourselves look silly when you exaggerate a situation, like calling this an autonomous zone.

00:12:59.000 Yeah.

00:13:00.000 It'd be very cool if it was the beginning of one, though, and good luck to you, I hope it is.

00:13:05.000 Okay, this is beginning to look more like it.

00:13:07.000 Left libertarian movement John Brown Gun Club turned up armed to do patrols.

00:13:14.000 Now, I don't know much about the John Brown Gun Club in terms of what their goals are, but I really don't like when people confuse Antifa and Antifa-affiliated groups with Left Libertarian.

00:13:27.000 So, this may be Left Libertarian, perhaps.

00:13:31.000 Like, just because these guys are armed and walking around, I'm not going to assume they're violent authoritarians who want to impose their will on others.

00:13:37.000 I know a lot of these guys, I've seen, I'm not sure which group it was, There was a, it's a, it's a far left communist armed patrol, like armed militia.

00:13:45.000 But if you watch the videos, they're very disciplined.

00:13:45.000 Okay.

00:13:48.000 They're very calm and they try to keep the peace.

00:13:50.000 They don't, they don't sit there and allow people to go nuts.

00:13:53.000 A lot of people don't like it, but look, man, if they're legally allowed to do it, they're nonviolent and they're trying to keep tensions down.

00:13:59.000 Totally fine with it.

00:14:00.000 That goes for the, the oath keepers, the three percenters, anybody else. 1.00

00:14:03.000 I don't care what your ideology is so long as we can live peacefully, have some real conversations.

00:14:07.000 Yep.

00:14:08.000 So if the John Brown Gun Club shows up, they're armed, they're doing their thing, and they're peacefully, you know, walking around and making sure people don't act a fool, that's cool.

00:14:15.000 I don't care.

00:14:15.000 That's fine by me.

00:14:16.000 You know, it's the crazy ones.

00:14:16.000 Agreed.

00:14:19.000 Again, the John Brown Gun Club had this guy who was an avowed Antifa who went and firebombed an ICE facility.

00:14:26.000 That's why I'm like, we haven't seen the Oath Keepers do something like that.

00:14:29.000 Okay.

00:14:29.000 So I'm not trying to just, you know, pass off what these people have done.

00:14:34.000 But, you know, be that as it may, I'm not going to pretend like someone marching around with a gun is like the world is ending.

00:14:40.000 And that being said, too, I don't know if you saw the Project Veritas videos they did.

00:14:45.000 Project Veritas put out these videos of Antifa doing like gun training stuff.

00:14:47.000 Oh, their infiltration?

00:14:48.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:14:49.000 And I think it's interesting to see that Antifa, they are an ideological extremist group.

00:14:53.000 They've talked about doing crazy things.

00:14:54.000 They've talked about burning the system down and destroying civilization.

00:14:58.000 You see them doing military training.

00:14:59.000 I think it's valuable to see that they actually have organized training.

00:15:03.000 However, the act in and of itself of doing firearms training and survival training and self-defense training, I got no problem with.

00:15:10.000 Just because they're doing it, I'm like, no.

00:15:12.000 The issue is, if they use that training, here's what I see.

00:15:15.000 If these people, like the John Brown Gun Club, go and engage in some kind of act of terror, then you need to consider what their group is, what they do, how they train, and then maybe there's some trumped-up charges or something.

00:15:26.000 So there was apparently like a live stream of this.

00:15:28.000 Here's what he says.

00:15:29.000 Jake says, the more I hear about this autonomous zone on only day two, the more it seems doomed to fail.

00:15:35.000 Seeing that a load of woke scolds are there desperate for power by policing people. 1.00

00:15:39.000 Also, the armed contingent is smaller than I thought and seemingly unprepared for actual defense.

00:15:45.000 Let alone they run out of food already today.

00:15:47.000 You saw that tweet, right?

00:15:49.000 Well, she was saying that someone stole their, the homeless people stole all their food.

00:15:52.000 No, they said they took the food.

00:15:54.000 Yeah.

00:15:54.000 But they invited them in.

00:15:56.000 What do you think they're going to do?

00:15:58.000 They're homeless people.

00:15:59.000 You're giving out free food.

00:16:00.000 They're going to eat the food.

00:16:01.000 They're going to take your food, dude.

00:16:02.000 Yeah, they're going to eat it.

00:16:03.000 And then what did she ask for?

00:16:05.000 Vegan options.

00:16:06.000 Vegan options.

00:16:06.000 Meat substitutes.

00:16:08.000 Soy-based food.

00:16:11.000 I was cringing.

00:16:13.000 I was like, that is peak privilege right there.

00:16:16.000 We talked about it.

00:16:17.000 Being a vegan, you're in a privileged place to be able to eat vegan and be comfortable and healthy at the same time.

00:16:26.000 And not just that, good vegan options are hard to come by.

00:16:28.000 So to ask someone to go out of their way and find... It's not cheap.

00:16:32.000 Yeah.

00:16:33.000 What?

00:16:33.000 No, but here's the funny part.

00:16:34.000 It's one thing if she said, we have vegans here.

00:16:37.000 And so we'll, you know, just keep that in mind.

00:16:39.000 Yeah.

00:16:40.000 Lots of veggies, potatoes.

00:16:41.000 Yeah.

00:16:42.000 Those are cheap.

00:16:42.000 Whatever.

00:16:43.000 No, she asked for like the high quality vegan meat substitutes.

00:16:43.000 Fruits.

00:16:46.000 Meat alternatives.

00:16:47.000 Talk about the 1% these people, dude.

00:16:51.000 I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that.

00:16:55.000 You are the reason you're giving vegans a bad name.

00:16:58.000 I don't even care.

00:17:01.000 It's Seattle.

00:17:03.000 Seattle is a wealthy, you know, it's a wealthy enough place and this young white woman has probably gotten, you know, her parents, she goes, I don't want to eat meat because I believe in fighting for justice. 0.99

00:17:13.000 So her parents were like, whatever you say, dear, and then went to the store and bought her the expensive vegan options.

00:17:18.000 And now she wants them, and now she's occupying, and she's like, bring me the expensive options from the health food store, nothing from Walmart, please.

00:17:26.000 Well, Walmart actually has some pretty good vegan options, mind you.

00:17:28.000 Actually, they do.

00:17:29.000 They sell chow cheese.

00:17:30.000 Yes!

00:17:31.000 Well, they got a lot of other stuff, too, surprisingly.

00:17:33.000 And if you're watching this, Field Life, you can... Field Life?

00:17:37.000 No, Field Roast.

00:17:38.000 Field Roast?

00:17:39.000 Feel free to sponsor me.

00:17:44.000 I got this guy to be in love with chow cheese.

00:17:46.000 It's good, it's great.

00:17:48.000 I make pizzas with it and I put pepperoni on it just to spit in the... I still giggle when I think about that tweet, man.

00:17:57.000 It just brings joy.

00:17:57.000 Yes.

00:18:01.000 It's satire.

00:18:01.000 I don't know why.

00:18:02.000 Because it's proof that they're just privileged people.

00:18:06.000 They're white suburban kids.

00:18:08.000 You even said it.

00:18:09.000 Here's what I imagine.

00:18:11.000 There's a seven-year-old kid in his backyard playing Cowboys and Indians or whatever.

00:18:16.000 And then he's like, Mom, can you make peanut butter and jelly?

00:18:18.000 But I don't want any crust because the crust don't taste good.

00:18:21.000 And then the other kid's like, oh, see if she'll get the barbecue chips. 0.99

00:18:24.000 Those are good.

00:18:25.000 Mom, get the barbecue chips! 1.00

00:18:27.000 And then she comes out and she's got like salt and vinegar. 1.00

00:18:30.000 Mom, I wanted barbecue!

00:18:34.000 This is salt and vinegar, mom! 0.99

00:18:36.000 And then she's like, okay, okay.

00:18:38.000 It's like Cartman.

00:18:39.000 Oh my goodness.

00:18:40.000 On South Park.

00:18:41.000 She brings the Hot Pockets to him.

00:18:42.000 Mm-hmm.

00:18:43.000 All right, let's keep reading.

00:18:44.000 I love this thread from Jakey Says.

00:18:45.000 People are mad I'm so pessimistic about it.

00:18:48.000 But this comes after years of seeing radical U.S. leftist spaces destroy and warp the very

00:18:52.000 idea of leftism.

00:18:54.000 I'm not hopeful that this so-called AZ will ever actually become one.

00:18:58.000 For what it's worth, I've been to several actual autonomous zones.

00:19:02.000 He says, check this.

00:19:03.000 Where is the internal security?

00:19:04.000 If you can't autonomously defend the zone, then it isn't an autonomous zone.

00:19:08.000 And then he referenced the guy from the tagger.

00:19:11.000 Here we go.

00:19:12.000 Just saw some stuff about the Capitol Hill autonomous zone.

00:19:15.000 To summarize, woke scolders are drunk on power, policing people's language, radical liberals told the armed leftists to leave, and now a local rapper is acting as a one-day warlord beating up activists.

00:19:28.000 Two days.

00:19:29.000 It's been two days.

00:19:34.000 Oh, and the homeless people they invited stole all the food.

00:19:37.000 Oh my gosh.

00:19:39.000 Yeah, well, what do you expect?

00:19:41.000 You know what, man?

00:19:42.000 They know how to live on the streets.

00:19:44.000 Seriously.

00:19:45.000 You see food being offered, you take it.

00:19:47.000 No, because the homeless people know what hardship really is.

00:19:49.000 Yeah.

00:19:50.000 And they're probably thinking like, these kids are so dumb.

00:19:52.000 Let's just take the food and get out of here.

00:19:54.000 We're going to go back to our encampments.

00:19:55.000 I'm imagining a homeless guy walking up and there's like some gluten seitan, like, you know, hot dog.

00:20:02.000 And he's like, what is this?

00:20:03.000 And they're like, it's a meatless vegan alternative that was delivered.

00:20:07.000 That's what we asked for.

00:20:08.000 Well, the Beyond Sausage is actually pretty legit.

00:20:10.000 No, I just mean, like, they're gonna be like, what is this?

00:20:12.000 I don't know what this food is.

00:20:13.000 Is this food?

00:20:14.000 I don't want this.

00:20:15.000 Well, they clearly ate it all.

00:20:15.000 This is great.

00:20:17.000 They didn't mind.

00:20:18.000 Hold on, he says, uh, this is what happens when you allow the professionally offended to overrun the left and destroy it with extreme identity politics.

00:20:26.000 Wow.

00:20:26.000 It's not nice or popular to say, but the reality is you can't run an autonomous zone if you let absolute cowards constantly have their say.

00:20:33.000 Wow.

00:20:34.000 Yes, that is what I'm talking about.

00:20:36.000 Standing ovation, Jake Henry.

00:20:37.000 The professionally offended.

00:20:38.000 That sums it up perfect.

00:20:40.000 That's it.

00:20:41.000 Yeah.

00:20:42.000 Wow.

00:20:43.000 Nailed it.

00:20:44.000 He says, not to get too political, but I actually think genuine autonomous zones are exciting and worthwhile alternative to hyper-capitalist wage-slave hell world.

00:20:51.000 I just don't think the people who took part in this one knew what they were doing at all.

00:20:56.000 He says, getting manhandled for spraying graffiti.

00:20:58.000 They went from anarcho-syndicalist commune to the USSR in two days.

00:21:04.000 We'll be doing some kind of report about that side of it for Popular Front Co.

00:21:08.000 There's a there's a lot of good stuff going on in the Chazz too from what I understand

00:21:12.000 We'll be doing some kind of report about that side of side of it for popular front co

00:21:16.000 I just wish someone had told them to calm down at the start So if you're not familiar with Jake check him out. He

00:21:23.000 He runs Popular Front.

00:21:24.000 It's a pretty cool thing.

00:21:25.000 He does real journalism.

00:21:26.000 He's actually documented right-wing militaristic groups, whatever.

00:21:33.000 Check him out on YouTube.

00:21:34.000 He's a cool dude.

00:21:35.000 But I do think there's a funny thing you can learn about anarchist society.

00:21:42.000 So there's left and right-wing anarchy.

00:21:44.000 So I know some right-wing anarchists.

00:21:46.000 They're like the true definition of anarchist.

00:21:49.000 The root of anarchy is without authority.

00:21:51.000 So the right-wing anarchists are basically like, do your thing.

00:21:55.000 Buy or beware.

00:21:56.000 Let the market decide.

00:21:57.000 Just don't attack other people.

00:21:59.000 You can't violate someone else's rights.

00:22:01.000 You can't assert your authority over them.

00:22:02.000 Still very libertarian though.

00:22:04.000 Well, libertarian is one step above.

00:22:08.000 So on the political compass, anarchy is as low as you can go.

00:22:12.000 Then you have left and you have right.

00:22:14.000 The right is the true anarchist.

00:22:15.000 Now the left will argue, that's not true, that's not true because capitalism is oppressive.

00:22:19.000 No, shut up. 1.00

00:22:20.000 Right-wing anarchy is literally like, you're in the middle of the woods, you're on your own.

00:22:24.000 Left-wing anarchy is utopianist, we all hold hands and sing songs together and build a happy farm where everyone gets, you know, equal shares of things.

00:22:32.000 With replicators that produce everything for everyone without work.

00:22:35.000 Left-wing, left-wing anarchy, like the far left, is possible in a tiny, tiny group.

00:22:40.000 Tiny, tiny group.

00:22:41.000 You can't get really big with it.

00:22:42.000 Right-wing anarchy is possible with a very, very, very large group, but it can devolve into monopolistic empire and oppressive, you know, black operations type security.

00:22:53.000 So, you know, the way I usually describe it to people about, like, the best government you could ever want is probably in the right libertarian spectrum, because within that you can have your left libertarian society.

00:23:05.000 You know, it doesn't operate in the inverse, in the utopianist ideals.

00:23:09.000 You can't have, you know.

00:23:10.000 Yeah.

00:23:11.000 But so anyway, when you see this, I often, I try to explain to my anarchist friends, like the lefty anarchist ones, why they'll never have a large civilization, a large country or anything, be anarchist.

00:23:22.000 And they like to reference, like, Catalonia, and it's like the brief anarchist period, or whatever they had.

00:23:28.000 What is Catalonia?

00:23:30.000 It's a part of Spain, like where Barcelona's at.

00:23:32.000 Okay.

00:23:32.000 And so, they had a brief period where it was anarchist, there was no formal government, it kind of just operated, and they're like, that proves it!

00:23:39.000 And I'm like, and what happened to it?

00:23:41.000 It got taken over.

00:23:43.000 That's the point.

00:23:44.000 You have no, like Jake mentioned, you have no autonomous defense.

00:23:48.000 So just chaos breaks out.

00:23:49.000 And here, two days later, we already got like a warlord happening.

00:23:53.000 Boom, there it is.

00:23:53.000 Taking control.

00:23:54.000 Yup, exactly.

00:23:55.000 Because in this utopian ideal they have, there's no authority because no one tries to assert it.

00:24:03.000 So, you have a bunch of people sitting around saying, hey, don't leave me alone, I don't know.

00:24:06.000 Then when a warlord shows up, people are like, oh man, don't look at me, I don't know.

00:24:10.000 And then the warlord takes over and they're like, yeah, whatever you say.

00:24:12.000 And then he walks in your business and says, give me your money, and you're like, you got it, boss.

00:24:14.000 Yep.

00:24:15.000 And there you go.

00:24:16.000 The easiest way to explain it though, if I went back to like, historical times, or not historical times, but like ancient, think of it this way.

00:24:23.000 Let's say you got a thousand people.

00:24:25.000 And they form their anarcho-hippie commune, or whatever.

00:24:28.000 And they're all sitting around, trying to decide what is the right way.

00:24:31.000 I've seen these things, like on Occupy Wall Street, where one person will raise their hand, and then someone will be like, what do you have to say?

00:24:37.000 And they'll say, I say we propose this.

00:24:39.000 And then everybody will wiggle their fingers, if they agree, or they'll do an X with their hands if they disagree.

00:24:45.000 And it's like, three, four hours go by, and no decision has been made on anything.

00:24:49.000 Let me tell you a story, man, this is hilarious.

00:24:51.000 During Occupy Wall Street, which is very similar to what we're seeing here, We needed, or the occupation needed, bins to keep clothes dry.

00:24:59.000 Okay.

00:25:00.000 Yeah, so when it rains, people get wet, you get sick, and so they were like, people who have backpacks and extra clothes, we should get plastic bins and keep them dry in the rain.

00:25:07.000 So somebody proposed, we buy bins.

00:25:09.000 And then they were like, okay, all in favor of buying plastic bins for clothes.

00:25:14.000 And then we got a couple of these X's. 0.92

00:25:16.000 No, no.

00:25:17.000 We bar it.

00:25:18.000 We block it.

00:25:19.000 And they were like, okay.

00:25:20.000 Why do you block it?

00:25:21.000 One person says, I am okay with it only if the bins are recycled.

00:25:26.000 Because we don't want to support, you know... Plastic.

00:25:29.000 Plastic.

00:25:30.000 And they were like, okay.

00:25:31.000 All in favor of buying recycled plastic bins.

00:25:35.000 People do their little twinkle fingers and then block.

00:25:38.000 Someone goes, it needs to be fair trade.

00:25:40.000 We can't have indigenous peoples being exploited for the production.

00:25:43.000 And they were like, okay.

00:25:45.000 Where do you find plastic bins that are recycled and fair trade?

00:25:48.000 I don't even think that's a thing.

00:25:49.000 Does that exist?

00:25:52.000 Can you guess what ended up happening?

00:25:53.000 They didn't get bins.

00:25:54.000 They did.

00:25:55.000 Yeah.

00:25:55.000 Oh, they did?

00:25:56.000 I wouldn't have guessed that.

00:25:56.000 Can you guess what they did?

00:25:57.000 Can you guess what they did?

00:25:59.000 Bought regular plain old bins.

00:26:00.000 Plain non-recycled.

00:26:01.000 Yep.

00:26:02.000 Regular, they went to like the local store and just came back with bins and they were like, yeah, they're fair trade and recycled.

00:26:06.000 Yeah, sure.

00:26:07.000 We investigated and it's good.

00:26:10.000 Don't worry.

00:26:10.000 Yep.

00:26:11.000 Don't ask questions.

00:26:12.000 And do you think anybody did?

00:26:14.000 Of course not.

00:26:14.000 No.

00:26:15.000 No.

00:26:15.000 Of course not.

00:26:16.000 So this is the problem.

00:26:17.000 They're just trying to signal to everyone how virtuous they are.

00:26:21.000 Create the appearance.

00:26:22.000 So imagine now, your thousand people are in the fields of, I don't know, Western Europe in the year 1000.

00:26:30.000 And all your little hippie friends are sitting around and you're like, what do we do for food?

00:26:35.000 And then after a few hours, you finally figure it out.

00:26:37.000 Congratulations.

00:26:38.000 Right.

00:26:39.000 You're eating something, right?

00:26:40.000 Something happened.

00:26:41.000 But then all of a sudden, someone comes running full speed.

00:26:43.000 They're sweating, they're out of breath, and they go, The evil warlord, Zorlan, is heading this way with a thousand men and fifty horses and bow and arrows.

00:26:54.000 What do we do?

00:26:55.000 And they go, I propose we form a phalanx.

00:26:58.000 No, I block.

00:27:00.000 Four hours go by and they're arguing and then the dude runs in on his horse and just starts beheading everybody and then he steals all the women and the food and then your civilization is gone.

00:27:07.000 To put it simply, while you're bickering about how to handle things, the warlord comes in and just takes it.

00:27:13.000 And that's what happened in two days.

00:27:15.000 Two days.

00:27:16.000 In the Seattle Autonomous, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, they've already got a warlord going around threatening people, defending the building owners.

00:27:23.000 It's amazing.

00:27:25.000 It's amazing.

00:27:26.000 It really is.

00:27:27.000 Yeah.

00:27:28.000 And so, I think this is why I really do- Sorry, I just gotta say, everyone in chat is hailing Zorlan now.

00:27:35.000 Zorlan?

00:27:36.000 Hail Zorlan!

00:27:38.000 The barbarian leader conqueror of worlds!

00:27:38.000 Love you, chat!

00:27:42.000 All hail Lord Zorlan!

00:27:43.000 Let's give him a backstory.

00:27:43.000 Let's do this.

00:27:44.000 It's actually- The year is actually 2553.

00:27:46.000 Oh.

00:27:49.000 And human civilization was purged in a great war and it collapsed.

00:27:53.000 So now it's the future.

00:27:54.000 And a bunch of people discover the ancient text.

00:27:57.000 The Antifa Handbook.

00:27:59.000 And they decide to live this way.

00:28:00.000 Oh no.

00:28:01.000 And then Zorlan finds a bunch of fascistic literature and Genghis Khan history and Alexander the Great and is like, I take what's mine.

00:28:09.000 I'm gonna take what's mine.

00:28:10.000 Lord Zorlan!

00:28:11.000 I am Lord Zorlan!

00:28:13.000 And now the world is his.

00:28:15.000 Oh, that's great.

00:28:16.000 Yeah, but this is what happens when, you know, people think that you can have this hippy-dippy, everyone holds hands and sings together.

00:28:22.000 This is why the American system is actually brilliant, because we do have that.

00:28:25.000 It's called Congress, and Congress is awful.

00:28:27.000 They're just terrible at their jobs.

00:28:30.000 But the president can pull the trigger, right?

00:28:32.000 And that's why they, you know, it's really, really brilliant when I think about the American system.

00:28:37.000 They must have been sitting there and they were like, what kind of government should we have?

00:28:40.000 And one dude's like, how about, like, you know, a very hippie-ish democratic thing where everyone sits around and, like, you know, they have representatives.

00:28:46.000 Makes up rules together.

00:28:47.000 And they were like, mmm, yeah, but that'll take too long and then we'll get crushed by Zorlan, you know?

00:28:52.000 And then another guy's like, ooh, how about, uh, monarchy?

00:28:55.000 How about one guy?

00:28:56.000 One guy, and they were like, nah, then you'll get families, you'll get tyranny.

00:28:59.000 Or girl. 0.51

00:29:01.000 Well, how about this?

00:29:01.000 How about a simple council of elders?

00:29:04.000 Like a small group of smart elders who understand things.

00:29:07.000 And they were like, no, because you still have similar problems with monarchy, and it's not big enough to actually decide for most people.

00:29:13.000 And then one dude goes, brothers.

00:29:15.000 Checks and balances.

00:29:16.000 All three.

00:29:17.000 Checks and balances.

00:29:18.000 Bam.

00:29:18.000 Drops the microphone.

00:29:19.000 Drops the mic, walks out the room.

00:29:20.000 Everybody stands up, and they're clapping and screaming, and they're like.

00:29:23.000 The year was 1775.

00:29:24.000 Thomas Jefferson.

00:29:26.000 Thomas Jefferson, he's like, mic drop!

00:29:28.000 What?

00:29:29.000 It was more like, I don't know, what would it be?

00:29:31.000 Like a piece of paper?

00:29:32.000 Quill drop! 0.79

00:29:32.000 I don't know. 0.79

00:29:33.000 Quill drop! 0.79

00:29:34.000 Yes!

00:29:35.000 He drops the quill.

00:29:36.000 Slams it on the table.

00:29:36.000 Boom!

00:29:38.000 And then they're like, aye, aye!

00:29:40.000 No, it's clever.

00:29:41.000 It really is.

00:29:42.000 And so they all, so if, you know, when it comes to laws, we have a legislative branch and they're slow and terrible.

00:29:49.000 And then the president can veto or whatever, but they can override him.

00:29:52.000 And then when it comes to war and the common defense, the president can be like, I pulled the trigger.

00:29:55.000 So when Zorlan shows up, he goes, nice try, buddy.

00:29:57.000 And then fires all the missiles.

00:29:57.000 Beep!

00:29:59.000 Blows them up.

00:30:01.000 Boom.

00:30:01.000 That's why a constitutional republic like ours is probably like the best country that's ever existed on this planet.

00:30:07.000 Whoa.

00:30:08.000 That's mighty bold of you to say.

00:30:10.000 Name a better plant.

00:30:11.000 Name a better country.

00:30:12.000 I love America.

00:30:12.000 And I feel like you're not even allowed to say that.

00:30:15.000 And I don't care, because I love America.

00:30:18.000 You know why it's the best?

00:30:21.000 There's a lot of different metrics to go by.

00:30:22.000 For one, people are going to complain and be like, but our education system is so miserable compared to these other countries. 0.99

00:30:27.000 I'm like, okay, bro, I'm talking about- I will agree with that.

00:30:29.000 And I want the education system to be better.

00:30:32.000 Period.

00:30:33.000 That doesn't mean America sucks.

00:30:35.000 No, no, no.

00:30:36.000 It doesn't mean that we're the best at literally everything.

00:30:38.000 Right.

00:30:39.000 It means that, first of all, we have a massive country with many different cultures, from the East Coast to the Southeast to the South to the West to Southwest, Pacific Northwest.

00:30:48.000 So you have different cultures that emerged.

00:30:51.000 You have expanding civil rights.

00:30:53.000 Most countries don't have what we have, but you still have freedom, the American dream, a constitution that guarantees your rights.

00:30:58.000 And so you can look at all the bad things America has done.

00:31:01.000 I don't know the past couple months it feels like they're pooping all over those those rights though.

00:31:01.000 Yeah.

00:31:07.000 Oh, it's Swiss cheese, man.

00:31:08.000 Swiss cheese.

00:31:08.000 Yep.

00:31:09.000 That's why it's so important to defend it.

00:31:09.000 Swiss cheese.

00:31:11.000 But I've been to a lot of other countries, and some of them are really nice, but people don't realize, especially in Europe, where they're like, if America's so great, why has Denmark got better education?

00:31:20.000 Because Denmark has, what, like eight million people in it?

00:31:22.000 I know, it's tiny.

00:31:24.000 I've driven through Denmark in a day.

00:31:26.000 In one day, I drove through Denmark.

00:31:27.000 Isn't it only a couple hours?

00:31:29.000 Yes, a few hours.

00:31:31.000 It would be like saying, you know, one state.

00:31:33.000 You can drive through most of Europe in a day.

00:31:35.000 If we were to take all- Yeah, yeah.

00:31:37.000 Well, you probably- Yes, I did it.

00:31:40.000 I've done it multiple times.

00:31:41.000 In one straight day?

00:31:42.000 No, no, but I mean, I've driven from, you know, Sweden to Germany in six hours.

00:31:49.000 Yeah, but it's like states.

00:31:50.000 With a barge, you know, you have to take a boat to- But that would be like saying I drove from Ohio to, you know, Boston or whatever in a day.

00:31:58.000 Right, but they're comparing it to America.

00:32:00.000 Exactly.

00:32:01.000 So it's like, why don't you compare New York State to France or Texas to this one country, and then you'll see that things are very, very different.

00:32:08.000 So you look at the European Union as a disaster, complete disaster.

00:32:13.000 You've got states that are indebted and angry and want to leave, and Brexit just happened.

00:32:18.000 And have left, right?

00:32:19.000 Brexit, for example.

00:32:20.000 And maybe they'll make it.

00:32:21.000 Right?

00:32:21.000 Because we had a civil war.

00:32:22.000 Maybe this is the worst it'll get.

00:32:23.000 Maybe they'll fall apart.

00:32:24.000 Apparently France wants to leave now.

00:32:24.000 I don't know.

00:32:27.000 Really?

00:32:27.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:32:29.000 Marine Le Pen.

00:32:30.000 Frexit.

00:32:31.000 France exit.

00:32:32.000 Yeah, it was popping up.

00:32:33.000 We'll see if it actually makes it.

00:32:35.000 But France is very much pro-EU, a lot of them.

00:32:38.000 But the United States...

00:32:40.000 Has so many thousands upon thousands of politicians.

00:32:44.000 People don't realize this.

00:32:45.000 I think there's like seven or like, you know, maybe maybe even more like 13, 15,000 politicians in this country.

00:32:51.000 Right.

00:32:51.000 Because it's down to the state level, to the city, to the county, to the township, you know, whatever.

00:32:51.000 Wow.

00:32:55.000 Yeah.

00:32:56.000 Yeah.

00:32:56.000 So it's it's ridiculously expansive in terms of how our politics work.

00:33:00.000 And it works out fairly well, not perfectly.

00:33:02.000 Yeah.

00:33:02.000 One of the one of the problems I think we're facing now and we'll see if we can stand the test of time is the cultural imbalance that's happening.

00:33:09.000 Which is like the purge of, you know, movies and books.

00:33:14.000 The culture revolution that's happening.

00:33:15.000 Literal book burnings are happening.

00:33:18.000 Yeah, and it's happening in a different way.

00:33:19.000 It's digital book bannings.

00:33:21.000 And you know what I hear from my lefty friends?

00:33:23.000 They're like, well, I mean, if a platform doesn't want to have it on their, you know, platform.

00:33:27.000 And I'm like, oh, right, if a library doesn't want to host the book, we just take it out and burn in the back, right?

00:33:31.000 That's literally what they were doing.

00:33:32.000 What's the difference?

00:33:34.000 But Amazon is a private company.

00:33:35.000 It's like, okay, then we need a public company that does what Amazon does.

00:33:38.000 Is that what you're saying?

00:33:40.000 How is it that I am arguing with the left about nationalization of major systems and platforms?

00:33:47.000 I don't get it.

00:33:48.000 They're going crazy, man.

00:33:49.000 You know, I will say, though, I've been leaning a bit towards nationalizing Twitter.

00:33:54.000 I'm, like, thinking about all the problems.

00:33:56.000 And, bro, Twitter is insane.

00:33:59.000 Jack Dorsey posting a tweet promoting violence.

00:34:01.000 Straight up promoting it.

00:34:02.000 And then banning all the people on the right, basically, that post the same video.

00:34:08.000 He retweeted a clip where the woman said, if we burned all of your buildings down, it wouldn't be enough.

00:34:13.000 So F your Target, F your McDonald's.

00:34:15.000 And it's like, why am I supposed to be like, that's okay, but Donald Trump saying don't loot is bad.

00:34:20.000 So therein lies the big problem.

00:34:23.000 If politicians are using Twitter as the main vehicle for discourse, and Jack Dorsey himself is overtly biased, Well, we can't function properly in that regard, so we need some guarantees.

00:34:36.000 Well, you don't get guarantees with the private platform.

00:34:38.000 There is no Section 230 protection.

00:34:40.000 There's no Section 230 reform that will make Twitter work.

00:34:43.000 You know what will make Twitter work?

00:34:45.000 What?

00:34:45.000 If it was under the First Amendment, period.

00:34:47.000 Boom.

00:34:48.000 But the problem with that is that it couldn't function.

00:34:48.000 Period.

00:34:52.000 You can't, no, look, like, because I've DMed with Jack throughout, you know, since we did the show, you know, here and there.

00:34:58.000 Yeah.

00:34:59.000 And the reality is advertisers will not be on a platform that has overt free speech.

00:35:06.000 That's why they do what they do.

00:35:07.000 If you get some far right dude saying stupid, crazy conspiracy mumbo jumbo, then Coca-Cola says we're out.

00:35:13.000 That's too prominent for us.

00:35:14.000 We don't want to do it.

00:35:15.000 My argument is, if there's a billboard for Coke on the side of the road on Sunset Boulevard, and a crazy homeless guy holds up a sign saying, you know, QAnon or whatever, or, you know, Hail Trump or something, you can't get rid of him.

00:35:28.000 Your billboard is now next to this guy.

00:35:30.000 Guess what?

00:35:30.000 Someone takes a picture, boom, Coke next to the crazy guy.

00:35:32.000 Same thing.

00:35:33.000 Yeah, what's the difference?

00:35:34.000 So stop complaining about what your ads appear next to, but the advertisers can choose.

00:35:41.000 So Twitter says we either go out of business or we censor the right because advertisers like the left.

00:35:46.000 There's only one solution.

00:35:48.000 Taxpayer funded.

00:35:49.000 That probably is the only solution.

00:35:51.000 I'm not saying it's the best solution.

00:35:52.000 I'm not saying it'll work.

00:35:53.000 But I'm telling you, how do you, you know, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and these companies just want to make sure the advertisers are happy.

00:35:59.000 The advertisers themselves are biased and don't want to be associated with negative politics.

00:36:03.000 But negative politics is not necessarily bad politics.

00:36:06.000 It's just some things we got to talk about and they're hard to talk about.

00:36:09.000 So how do we guarantee everyone has free speech?

00:36:12.000 You nationalize social media.

00:36:14.000 And then it's taxpayer-funded.

00:36:15.000 I'm not happy with that idea, though.

00:36:17.000 I'm not even saying that's gonna work.

00:36:19.000 I'm just saying, I think about all the problems we've seen so far, none of them work.

00:36:23.000 Like Trump has talked about Section 230, which is basically No one really understands, and I'm not going to pretend like I have the best understanding either.

00:36:31.000 The general idea is it protects companies from liability.

00:36:35.000 They can't be sued for what other people post, but it gives them the ability to remove things that they find lewd, objectionable, or violations of law.

00:36:45.000 So is there a way that we can reform Section 230 so that it's a balance between the two?

00:36:50.000 You know, so they can't be sued for what people say because it's an open platform.

00:36:54.000 And then they can't also censor it.

00:36:54.000 Right.

00:36:56.000 We would need the Republicans to control the House.

00:36:58.000 To be able to do that?

00:36:59.000 Absolutely nothing.

00:37:00.000 So I'm not confident the Republicans would do anything because most of them are do-nothing

00:37:03.000 losers anyway.

00:37:05.000 The Democrats are just crazy anti-Trump.

00:37:08.000 The Republicans controlled the House for the first two years of the Trump presidency.

00:37:10.000 They got nothing.

00:37:11.000 What did they do?

00:37:12.000 It was just...

00:37:13.000 Absolutely nothing.

00:37:14.000 Yeah, absolutely nothing.

00:37:15.000 Worthless.

00:37:16.000 Worthless.

00:37:17.000 So maybe if some legit activist populist types win on the Republican side, you will then

00:37:22.000 see a draft of legislation to amend Section 230 to say you cannot remove content that

00:37:27.000 is lawful.

00:37:28.000 That's the answer.

00:37:30.000 Right now, the protection they have says they can remove anything that's lewd, lascivious, objectionable, violation of law, or something like that.

00:37:40.000 But who makes that definition up?

00:37:41.000 Twitter does.

00:37:42.000 does. Right, and so Trump issued a clarification where he wants the FCC to define what that is.

00:37:42.000 Good, I like that.

00:37:47.000 Good, I like that. It won't change anything because it'll still require lawsuits and

00:37:51.000 challenging in court if a Republican majority got in the House.

00:37:57.000 And then they posted, they amended section 230 and said that you may not remove content that is lawful.

00:38:05.000 Otherwise, you forfeit your protections.

00:38:07.000 Every company would fall in line.

00:38:09.000 Every speech would be protected.

00:38:10.000 And you're done.

00:38:11.000 We're done.

00:38:12.000 You can't post threats.

00:38:13.000 You can't harass people.

00:38:14.000 That will still get a little murky.

00:38:16.000 Like, they'll be like, well, that's harassment.

00:38:17.000 Well, okay, we'll take out with law enforcement. 0.67

00:38:20.000 So there will be some challenges there in that there will still be a private first step within the company to take down things they feel are unlawful.

00:38:29.000 But that would absolutely protect Learn to Code.

00:38:31.000 It'll protect nasty opinions and political parties. 0.70

00:38:33.000 It would protect OK Dude.

00:38:36.000 Amazing.

00:38:37.000 I know.

00:38:37.000 We need thicker skin.

00:38:39.000 Humans need thicker skin, man.

00:38:40.000 Yeah, man.

00:38:41.000 Everyone takes offense.

00:38:43.000 They're offended for others.

00:38:46.000 Come on.

00:38:47.000 Let me come back to that point real quick, though.

00:38:48.000 Yeah, go ahead.

00:38:49.000 Let's say a Republican majority does get in.

00:38:51.000 They amend Section 230 to say only illegal content can be removed from your site, otherwise you are not protected.

00:38:57.000 Advertisers quit.

00:38:58.000 So there's a possibility there, though, that because Twitter is the dominant platform, that advertisers will be grudgingly saying, well, I got nowhere else to go, so I'll do it.

00:39:08.000 Right.

00:39:08.000 Facebook as well.

00:39:09.000 However, a lot of people quit Twitter over their, you know, because they have delicate, childish sensibilities.

00:39:16.000 Like, what was that?

00:39:17.000 Wil Wheaton.

00:39:18.000 Will, uh, you know Will Wheaton?

00:39:20.000 The whiny guy from Star Trek, he would play the kid and he complained all the time.

00:39:20.000 No.

00:39:24.000 Oh, yeah, okay.

00:39:25.000 Yeah, Wesley, Wesley Crusher, boom, there it is.

00:39:26.000 Yeah, yeah, Wesley Crusher's good.

00:39:27.000 Yeah, so, did you know that LEGO released, like, a Next Generation set and they made Wesley crying?

00:39:32.000 Seriously?

00:39:33.000 He got really mad about it.

00:39:34.000 He started crying.

00:39:35.000 He started freaking out.

00:39:36.000 He's like, this is not cool.

00:39:37.000 Why are you doing this?

00:39:38.000 Anyway, the dude threatened to leave Twitter unless they banned Alex Jones.

00:39:42.000 They didn't ban Alex Jones, so he quits Twitter and goes to Mastodon, which is a far left open source version.

00:39:47.000 Okay.

00:39:47.000 And then he got attacked for being a bigot and a transphobe and all that stuff.

00:39:50.000 And then he got banned.

00:39:52.000 Oh my goodness.

00:39:52.000 So he's gone.

00:39:53.000 Yeah, I'm not a fan of that.

00:39:54.000 If he wants to quit, that's fine, but the fact that they banned him and all that stuff, it's ridiculous false accusations, man.

00:40:00.000 This dude, he's kind of a whiny dork in a lot of ways, but he's not what they accuse him of being.

00:40:05.000 And he should be allowed to be on the platform and speak his mind, as much as I might think he's detestable or whatever.

00:40:10.000 So, if people quit, Then Twitter starts realizing they have a dwindling base.

00:40:15.000 Even if they can get advertisers, they make less money.

00:40:19.000 And then the company starts shrinking, retracting.

00:40:21.000 This is one of the biggest challenges they face in that if one side starts dominating too much,

00:40:25.000 then they lose the other side and their market share starts shrinking.

00:40:29.000 So that causes them to panic.

00:40:31.000 I don't know what the solution is for them, but I do know if you are going to jam your thumb

00:40:37.000 up the bum of our political system, and then we tell you to stop and you go, 0.92

00:40:41.000 no, because I'm making money, I'm going to say F you, and it's time to bring out the band hammer and make them

00:40:47.000 Because it's just going to get worse.

00:40:47.000 stop.

00:40:49.000 But let's talk about it getting worse.

00:40:51.000 Let's move on to the next.

00:40:52.000 Oh, yeah.

00:40:53.000 The next worse of everything.

00:40:55.000 Yeah, this is ridiculous.

00:40:56.000 The next worse of everything.

00:40:57.000 Oh, wonderful.

00:40:58.000 How many of you watching play Magic the Gathering?

00:41:01.000 I'm actually curious.

00:41:02.000 Do you play Magic the Gathering?

00:41:03.000 Not anymore.

00:41:04.000 No?

00:41:04.000 You just built a commander deck earlier.

00:41:07.000 That may be true.

00:41:09.000 You know what's funny?

00:41:10.000 I don't like playing anymore.

00:41:12.000 Sometimes maybe.

00:41:13.000 I like building.

00:41:14.000 I like the designing.

00:41:15.000 The mechanics.

00:41:16.000 I like synergy.

00:41:18.000 Creating synergy out of the cards that I have.

00:41:19.000 I've been playing for 20 years so I've got a lot of cards.

00:41:23.000 That's the fun part for me.

00:41:24.000 It's the crafting of a deck.

00:41:25.000 Let's do a real quick context for those that don't know the game.

00:41:28.000 Magic the Gathering is a trading card game.

00:41:31.000 They've got like, what, like 20,000 cards now?

00:41:33.000 Over 20,000 cards.

00:41:34.000 It was launched, what was the first year, 94 or 93?

00:41:36.000 93.

00:41:36.000 Yeah, I think it was the first.

00:41:36.000 93?

00:41:38.000 So the game's theme is fantasy.

00:41:41.000 There's goblins, there's vampires.

00:41:43.000 You are a planeswalker, and you play against other planeswalkers.

00:41:47.000 The easiest way to explain it to a layman is it's a combination of chess and poker with a fantasy theme.

00:41:53.000 There are some, like, I guess technically fantasy.

00:41:56.000 There's some horror sets where the theme is like, you know, there's one set called Innistrad.

00:42:00.000 It's like werewolves and vampires and stuff.

00:42:02.000 One of the cooler sets.

00:42:02.000 Yeah.

00:42:04.000 But it is very much fantasy.

00:42:05.000 There's also a steampunk kind of set.

00:42:07.000 I guess Ravnica would be fairly steampunk, right?

00:42:10.000 Uh, no, yeah, kind of.

00:42:12.000 Not Ravnica, I forget the name of the set.

00:42:13.000 There is it.

00:42:14.000 Oh, Kaladesh maybe?

00:42:15.000 Maybe that's it, yeah.

00:42:16.000 Kaladesh?

00:42:17.000 So anyway, it's, look man, when I play Magic, it is a fun game where we sit down, and I got this little dude and he's a bird, and when you cast a spell, then he makes spirits, and then the spirits fight the other guy, and then you can, you know, draw cards.

00:42:30.000 That's the game.

00:42:31.000 I'm sitting down with my buddy, and I'm like, bro, my vampire bites your goblin, you die.

00:42:35.000 And now they've decided they're going to ban cards from the game for being racist.

00:42:41.000 You guessed it.

00:42:42.000 It's interesting because they actually went through something like this before.

00:42:45.000 In 94, there was this, I think it was like a Christian group that went crazy because one of their, one of the, I don't know, it was like a black enchantment or something. 0.98

00:42:55.000 I forget the name of it.

00:42:56.000 I'm trying to look up the picture.

00:42:57.000 Oh, it was Unholy Strength, wasn't it?

00:42:58.000 Unholy Strength, thank you.

00:42:59.000 With a pentagram upside down?

00:43:00.000 So it had a pentagram behind the guy and he was just like, like, ah, getting stronger.

00:43:05.000 And they changed the art.

00:43:07.000 They got rid of the pentagram to appease the people that were, oh yeah, yeah, there you go, right there.

00:43:12.000 Let me see if I can pull up an image.

00:43:13.000 Look, there's both of them right there, boom.

00:43:15.000 Where? Yeah, there we go.

00:43:16.000 Right up at the top.

00:43:17.000 You got the one without it, top left.

00:43:19.000 There you go, boom.

00:43:22.000 So, so they freaked out in, you know, I guess it was in 94.

00:43:26.000 Yeah, I guess in 94.

00:43:27.000 They were like, Oh, look at this.

00:43:27.000 So they were freaking out.

00:43:29.000 It's demonic demons.

00:43:30.000 You're worshiping the devil.

00:43:32.000 And they got rid of it.

00:43:33.000 And then, you know, people stopped caring about it.

00:43:35.000 So they kind of they've kind of been through this before.

00:43:38.000 They've done it before.

00:43:39.000 But that's the only one.

00:43:39.000 They've bent the knee before.

00:43:41.000 That's the only card that they changed and altered.

00:43:44.000 And they didn't ban it or anything.

00:43:45.000 They just changed the art a little bit.

00:43:46.000 They got rid of the pentagram in the background.

00:43:48.000 They got rid of a bunch of cards.

00:43:49.000 Check this out.

00:43:52.000 Wow.

00:43:52.000 First of all, they had a card called Jihad, which is funny.

00:43:55.000 And they have a card called Crusade, and they got rid of both.

00:43:59.000 The Crusade one is funny.

00:44:01.000 You know why?

00:44:02.000 It's a bunch of Templar knights.

00:44:04.000 I think they have a sword raised or whatever.

00:44:06.000 And do you know what Crusade does?

00:44:08.000 Gives all white creatures plus one plus one. 0.96

00:44:08.000 What? 0.96

00:44:11.000 Huh.

00:44:12.000 So plus one plus one means plus one strength and plus one life toughness.

00:44:15.000 It's a little buff to your creatures, basically.

00:44:17.000 But I guess they're banning it because it's Crusade, which we know what the Crusades were.

00:44:22.000 And it's also giving white creatures more power. 0.97

00:44:25.000 Huh.

00:44:26.000 But now here's where it gets even funnier and stupider.

00:44:28.000 First of all, here's what you gotta understand about this game.

00:44:32.000 There are five colors of magic.

00:44:34.000 White, black, blue, green, and red.

00:44:37.000 And they each represent some kind of force or energy.

00:44:41.000 So green, for instance, is like nature and creatures.

00:44:44.000 Red is aggression and fire.

00:44:47.000 Blue is water and control.

00:44:50.000 White is people. 0.92

00:44:51.000 White is people and holy and light.

00:44:54.000 And black is ambition and zombies and necromancy. 0.70

00:44:58.000 So these colors don't have any racial correlations.

00:45:00.000 None.

00:45:01.000 None.

00:45:01.000 Zero.

00:45:02.000 Zero.

00:45:02.000 Not once have I ever, in my 20 years of playing this game, did I ever connect anything along those lines.

00:45:09.000 Not one time.

00:45:09.000 Unholy Strength literally depicted a white dude, like, rolling his head back with a pentagram burning behind him.

00:45:15.000 It is not racial in any capacity.

00:45:16.000 Exactly.

00:45:17.000 I think they released a set where they gave words that represented each color, and black was ambition.

00:45:23.000 It was your willingness to sacrifice everything to gain more power, whereas white was more like white magic, like healing and protecting and clerics. 0.95

00:45:32.000 Literally, regular old fantasy, like white magic and black magic, and then they have green, blue, and red.

00:45:38.000 Okay, one of these cards, Cleanze, I think, I don't know if I have the... I think it's Cleanze, yeah.

00:45:43.000 Do I have the image here?

00:45:44.000 Yep, there it is.

00:45:45.000 All black creatures in play are destroyed.

00:45:48.000 They literally banned a card for doing a normal game function for the game based on black magic.

00:45:54.000 Yep.

00:45:54.000 But because the words black is in it and they're destroyed, it's racist.

00:45:58.000 And because Crusade gives white creatures more strength, it's racist.

00:46:02.000 Insane.

00:46:03.000 But they literally say it's racist, look at this.

00:46:05.000 I don't understand.

00:46:06.000 Racism.

00:46:09.000 Dude, ban the whole game outright because you have white magic and black magic. 0.76

00:46:12.000 Racist.

00:46:13.000 Change them to purple and yellow.

00:46:14.000 We're done.

00:46:15.000 The stone-throwing devils?

00:46:16.000 What's up with that?

00:46:17.000 Do you have an image of that?

00:46:18.000 Isn't it just a couple devils throwing stones?

00:46:21.000 It's demon-looking creatures on a wall throwing rocks.

00:46:25.000 And they're calling it racist.

00:46:25.000 Oh.

00:46:26.000 How?

00:46:26.000 What?

00:46:27.000 I don't know.

00:46:27.000 Hold on.

00:46:28.000 Maybe?

00:46:28.000 I have no idea.

00:46:29.000 What?

00:46:30.000 Can you explain?

00:46:31.000 Is it a reference?

00:46:32.000 Here's what I think.

00:46:33.000 In prison, for instance.

00:46:33.000 Right?

00:46:34.000 Yeah, that one doesn't make any sense either.

00:46:36.000 It's just an image of a person wearing an iron mask.

00:46:39.000 Hold on.

00:46:39.000 What does in prison do?

00:46:40.000 Because I think that's just like holding a creature down, right?

00:46:45.000 Yeah, it has nothing to do with color or anything like that.

00:46:48.000 So that, in itself, Is racism.

00:46:51.000 Right.

00:46:52.000 So magic is being racist by saying in prison is racist.

00:46:56.000 It's because the art on the card, I guess, looks like it might be a black person.

00:47:00.000 Does it?

00:47:00.000 What?

00:47:01.000 Did you check it out?

00:47:03.000 But maybe, I mean, look, Praedish Gypsies, I guess, is getting removed because gypsy is a racial slur or something like that.

00:47:03.000 I have to see this.

00:47:12.000 That I could kind of understand.

00:47:13.000 It's a reference to Egyptians and the roving bands.

00:47:16.000 So in modern Europe, it kind of makes sense because gypsies actually is like a slur and it's something that you call someone who steals a bunch of stuff because that's very much part of their culture. 0.98

00:47:25.000 Actually, measurably part of their culture.

00:47:27.000 Let me show you how absurd all of this is, right?

00:47:29.000 I just showed you the card called Cleanse.

00:47:31.000 All black creatures in play are destroyed.

00:47:34.000 While I was explaining this to a friend of mine, they were like, yeah, but I mean, like, are there other cards that destroy other colors?

00:47:39.000 And I'm like, yes, the game is like 30 years old.

00:47:43.000 Of course they do.

00:47:44.000 Here's Parrish.

00:47:45.000 Destroy all green creatures!

00:47:47.000 That's racist toward green things?

00:47:47.000 What?

00:47:49.000 To green people!

00:47:49.000 Green people!

00:47:50.000 Green people!

00:47:51.000 Nailed it!

00:47:51.000 Is that like a deer person?

00:47:53.000 Oh yeah!

00:47:54.000 They didn't get rid of this card.

00:47:55.000 They didn't get rid of this one.

00:47:57.000 They're not being inclusive enough yet.

00:47:58.000 So, you know what, man, we are officially in paranoid, delusional cancel culture.

00:48:04.000 It is beyond, beyond how, how, look, this, this, this one really freaked me out.

00:48:09.000 You know why?

00:48:10.000 Well, this is the, are you talking about Invoke Prejudice now?

00:48:12.000 Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:48:13.000 I just mean, we'll talk about it.

00:48:14.000 I'm saving Invoke Prejudice.

00:48:14.000 I'm saving that one.

00:48:16.000 That's going to be, that's the one that's like, okay, whoa, what were you doing?

00:48:20.000 Yeah, like, you know what?

00:48:21.000 All right.

00:48:22.000 And I'll Google it and show you what the image is, and you're gonna be like, hmm, okay.

00:48:27.000 That one, it looks like a bunch of clansmen with axes.

00:48:30.000 It's like, okay.

00:48:31.000 Anyway, Magic the Gathering is a game where dragons fight vampires and giant golems, you know, punch warriors with shields and you give magic powers to your gremlin.

00:48:43.000 It's literally just fantasy.

00:48:45.000 It's like Lord of the Rings.

00:48:46.000 It's just like, my elf fires an arrow and defeats your goblin.

00:48:49.000 I heard Lord of the Rings was very racist.

00:48:51.000 Yeah, I did too.

00:48:53.000 Yeah, apparently.

00:48:54.000 Apparently that's very racist.

00:48:55.000 They've tried to do that.

00:48:57.000 They've tried to claim that orcs were racist, even though I was reading someone and they were talking about, because I'm not a big, you know, it's not like I've read everything.

00:49:03.000 I've seen the movies.

00:49:04.000 And they're talking about how there's actually countries of black people in Lord of the Rings.

00:49:07.000 They're not orcs.

00:49:08.000 There's literally black people in the books.

00:49:10.000 Like, what are you talking about?

00:49:11.000 You're just trying to make it racist.

00:49:13.000 What freaks me out about this, now look, Magic the Gathering has had its weird run-ins with cancel culture. 0.93

00:49:18.000 There was a card shop that had a kek flag.

00:49:21.000 Do you know what a kek flag is?

00:49:22.000 Oh yeah, I know about this.

00:49:23.000 It was just a little flag in like a flower pot up on a shelf somewhere that someone must have put there without anyone really paying attention.

00:49:28.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:49:28.000 And then somebody took a picture and the shop got banned.

00:49:31.000 Banned.

00:49:32.000 From FNM.

00:49:34.000 Not just that, so when you order product to sell, it comes through Hasbro, the company that owns it.

00:49:40.000 So they got severed from this distribution.

00:49:42.000 They couldn't buy product anymore because someone put a Keck flag in there and someone else reported it.

00:49:46.000 Wow.

00:49:47.000 So I see that and I'm like, OK, OK, it's been freaky for some time.

00:49:51.000 But when we see this wave of things where it's like EA gives you your like bend the knee prompt, do you agree to not be a racist?

00:49:57.000 I can't believe it.

00:49:58.000 Netflix.

00:49:59.000 And now all of these companies in lockstep are doing this bend the knee to our ideology thing.

00:50:04.000 It's freaking me out.

00:50:05.000 Yeah.

00:50:06.000 Now they've actually look at this.

00:50:08.000 They said this.

00:50:10.000 Additionally, these cards will be banned in all sanctioned tournament play.

00:50:15.000 Alright, let's talk about woke encroachment on gaming.

00:50:20.000 If you make a video game, and you make a character that's, you know, female, I don't care. 1.00

00:50:26.000 You ever play Watch Dogs 2?

00:50:27.000 No, I've seen you play it though.

00:50:29.000 It's a fun game.

00:50:29.000 I think it's fun.

00:50:30.000 Watch Dogs 1 is kind of weird.

00:50:32.000 The story makes no sense.

00:50:32.000 Watch Dogs 2 is a bit better.

00:50:33.000 Okay.

00:50:34.000 And it's definitely like a pro.

00:50:37.000 It's like very much an Antifa kind of game.

00:50:39.000 But there's a trans character who's like a major character in the storyline.

00:50:42.000 Okay.

00:50:42.000 And it all works.

00:50:43.000 Main character is a black guy who happens to be a hacker.

00:50:46.000 Cool.

00:50:46.000 No issues whatsoever.

00:50:47.000 I like it.

00:50:47.000 I appreciate it.

00:50:48.000 It's a diversity game, right?

00:50:48.000 I'm like, hey, this is really cool.

00:50:49.000 Okay.

00:50:50.000 They don't do anything to jam anything down your throat.

00:50:52.000 The gameplay is great.

00:50:53.000 And that's how you do it right.

00:50:54.000 You make a fun game with diverse characters.

00:50:56.000 We all have a good time.

00:50:57.000 What we're seeing here is they're literally banning the cards from the game.

00:50:57.000 Mm-hmm.

00:51:01.000 Imagine if you were playing Call of Duty and then all of a sudden you got a prompt that was like, this guy can't be played anymore because he's white. 1.00

00:51:07.000 You'd be like, wait, what?

00:51:08.000 Or imagine, Overwatch is a better example.

00:51:10.000 You ever play Overwatch?

00:51:11.000 Nah, never will.

00:51:12.000 Overwatch is a team shoot-em-up with like a ton of different characters.

00:51:15.000 Imagine if they came out one day and they were like, this character is being removed from the game because he's a white man and people deemed him racist.

00:51:21.000 And all of a sudden you're like, but that was, I liked playing that character.

00:51:24.000 Yeah.

00:51:24.000 It's one thing if they make the game weird with weird characters, whatever, man, even when they do it wrong, I'm like, whatever.

00:51:31.000 I just, I just won't play the game.

00:51:32.000 It's another thing.

00:51:33.000 If they take a game, that's totally fine.

00:51:34.000 And they're like, we're going to ban these things because their functions in the game, we deemed racist.

00:51:39.000 Like destroy all creatures that are black, racist.

00:51:43.000 Well, someone tagged me in the chat and said, what about mass calcify?

00:51:49.000 Destroy all non-white creatures. 1.00

00:51:52.000 I use that in my deck too.

00:51:55.000 What's up, wizards?

00:51:56.000 Why aren't you banning that?

00:51:58.000 That's even more racist.

00:51:59.000 Cleanse, that's why.

00:52:00.000 Because it's everyone that isn't white. 0.90

00:52:02.000 But think about cleanse.

00:52:03.000 Come on.

00:52:04.000 Cleanse.

00:52:06.000 You know what I mean?

00:52:06.000 Like, yeah, mass calcify distro creatures that aren't white.

00:52:10.000 Man, this is so dumb.

00:52:11.000 Which brings me to the one card where I'm actually, so first let me say this.

00:52:15.000 Yeah, this one.

00:52:16.000 The honorable mention, hold on, is praedish gypsies. 0.76

00:52:18.000 Because I understand why this word actually is to many people a slur.

00:52:23.000 Is it?

00:52:24.000 I don't, I've actually never heard that before.

00:52:26.000 Yeah, it's a reference to Egyptians.

00:52:27.000 Okay.

00:52:28.000 And then it came to represent, like, poor roaming- roving vans.

00:52:32.000 Roma.

00:52:33.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:52:33.000 Roma.

00:52:34.000 And it's considered, like, a negative insult.

00:52:36.000 You know- you know the word jip?

00:52:38.000 Like, when someone says, like, you jipped me?

00:52:39.000 Oh, yeah, okay.

00:52:40.000 Like, you rip them off.

00:52:41.000 It's a- it's- it's- yeah, so it's got racial connotations in it.

00:52:41.000 Right.

00:52:43.000 Oh, okay.

00:52:44.000 I don't agree with banning it.

00:52:45.000 I think they'd be fine, because they do something in Magic called errata, where they'll change the language of the card to update gameplay in the future, and you can have an older version with different writing on it, and then check the database and see they've changed it.

00:52:58.000 I think they could just change the names of all of these cards and still keep them.

00:53:03.000 Instead, they're banning them outright, which brings me to the actual horrifying card that I have no idea how to actually, like, what were they thinking?

00:53:12.000 You're gonna love this one.

00:53:13.000 Invoke prejudice, okay?

00:53:16.000 It's literally Invoke Prejudice.

00:53:19.000 The art on the card is a bunch of dudes wearing black robes, but they have pointy hoods.

00:53:24.000 One's wielding an axe.

00:53:26.000 And it was inputted in the Magic the Gathering database under the code number 1488.

00:53:32.000 What were they doing to you?

00:53:32.000 Yeah.

00:53:35.000 That's messed up.

00:53:36.000 What?

00:53:37.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:53:38.000 They're just messing with you at that point.

00:53:40.000 I don't want to show the image.

00:53:42.000 Yeah, do we have it?

00:53:42.000 You guys don't want to?

00:53:43.000 Do you have it posted up?

00:53:46.000 We'll get to that.

00:53:48.000 Look, someone else just hit me up in chat.

00:53:50.000 This is awesome.

00:53:51.000 You guys are fantastic.

00:53:52.000 Reign of Terror.

00:53:54.000 You know this card?

00:53:56.000 Bury, which means destroy all white creatures. 1.00

00:54:00.000 So, that is exactly the same.

00:54:01.000 It's the opposite.

00:54:03.000 So, my question, Adam.

00:54:05.000 You're the authority, right?

00:54:05.000 What?

00:54:06.000 How hard do you... I don't know.

00:54:07.000 Oh yeah, 20 years playing?

00:54:09.000 I have, I have.

00:54:09.000 Yeah, you're the authority.

00:54:10.000 Sure, whatever.

00:54:11.000 How hard do you have to be looking to find a racist... You want to call something a dog whistle?

00:54:16.000 All of these cards are old.

00:54:19.000 They're from 94.

00:54:21.000 People don't have these cards.

00:54:23.000 People who've been playing for 10 years don't have these cards.

00:54:25.000 Yep.

00:54:26.000 Even me!

00:54:27.000 I started playing- No, you have Crusade.

00:54:27.000 20 years!

00:54:30.000 Okay, Crusade was reprinted many times throughout Magic though, so it wasn't 20 years old.

00:54:35.000 The most recent Crusade probably came out like 12 years ago.

00:54:38.000 I don't know that for a fact.

00:54:39.000 But they reprinted a lot of cards.

00:54:41.000 Right.

00:54:42.000 throughout the years and updated them.

00:54:43.000 But most of these, Crusade is the one example on that list that isn't from 1994.

00:54:47.000 Right.

00:54:49.000 They weren't thinking about this stuff.

00:54:50.000 Reign of Terror.

00:54:51.000 It even depicts a black person going like this with a snap in their fingers. 0.76

00:54:56.000 What is it called?

00:54:57.000 Reign of Terror.

00:54:58.000 Look it up.

00:54:58.000 It's insane.

00:54:59.000 Bury all white creatures. 0.99

00:55:01.000 How is that not racist?

00:55:02.000 It's the same thing.

00:55:03.000 You can't have it one way and not the other.

00:55:05.000 Apparently you can.

00:55:06.000 It's like, what?

00:55:07.000 That's not fair.

00:55:08.000 And I don't care!

00:55:10.000 As a white person, like, whatever.

00:55:12.000 It's a game to me.

00:55:13.000 It's about the color of the game itself.

00:55:16.000 People who are taking offense to this are reading into it and applying their, they're painting their ideals into this.

00:55:23.000 And going, well, now see, this is racist.

00:55:23.000 Hold on.

00:55:26.000 And it's like, this is interesting, right?

00:55:27.000 Check this out.

00:55:28.000 So this image here is Reign of Terror.

00:55:28.000 Okay.

00:55:30.000 Ooh.

00:55:31.000 And it is not banned.

00:55:32.000 And it says, uh, bury all white creatures or bury all green creatures.

00:55:35.000 Huh.

00:55:36.000 Lose two life for each green creature put in the graveyard this way.

00:55:38.000 And as Adam said, it appears to be an African tribal guy.

00:55:42.000 Like a shaman?

00:55:43.000 Yeah.

00:55:44.000 Like a shaman.

00:55:44.000 Yeah.

00:55:45.000 With like, I don't know if he's snapping his fingers or what, but the magic is coming out.

00:55:49.000 This is interesting because you could argue this actually is racist against African cultures.

00:55:53.000 Because it's showing him like, you know, hovering.

00:55:55.000 Don't give them ideas.

00:55:57.000 No, but the question is, why are they then not banning this?

00:56:01.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:56:01.000 If this is also racist against, you know, non-whites, but the functionality of it... Or against whites and green people.

00:56:10.000 And the green people, those trans dear.

00:56:13.000 I think I must show you all the great and glorious Invoke Prejudice.

00:56:13.000 Well, hold on.

00:56:17.000 That was a joke, by the way, because it's supposed to be sarcastic.

00:56:20.000 Yeah, this... Oh, what is this?

00:56:21.000 Now, this makes sense.

00:56:24.000 All right.

00:56:24.000 You know what?

00:56:25.000 Yeah.

00:56:25.000 That's pretty... Weird.

00:56:27.000 Those look like Klansmen. 0.58

00:56:28.000 Like, come on.

00:56:29.000 What are you doing?

00:56:31.000 But it's called Invoke Prejudice.

00:56:32.000 And it's called Invoke Prejudice.

00:56:34.000 It's like, I will concede.

00:56:36.000 You know what's funny?

00:56:36.000 That's pretty bad.

00:56:37.000 Come on.

00:56:38.000 I bought this card not that long ago.

00:56:41.000 I made it.

00:56:42.000 I have a deck.

00:56:43.000 It's all blue, meaning it only uses this symbol.

00:56:46.000 So it's streamlined.

00:56:47.000 It's a very powerful card.

00:56:49.000 Yeah, the card itself, what it does is annoying.

00:56:53.000 It's very, very blue.

00:56:55.000 That's a blue card.

00:56:57.000 Right, right, right.

00:56:58.000 And I didn't even think about it when I got it.

00:57:01.000 I thought nothing of the image at all.

00:57:03.000 I'm like, I don't know, there's a wizard with an axe.

00:57:06.000 And then, when I read that it got banned, I was like, wait a minute.

00:57:08.000 And I looked at my deck, and I looked at it, and I was like, whoa.

00:57:12.000 And so, what they also say... And then you dug into it.

00:57:15.000 Yeah, in the release, it says the multiverse ID of the card was an unfortunate mistake or something like that.

00:57:22.000 No, it wasn't, dude.

00:57:23.000 No, it was not.

00:57:25.000 But I think someone was making a joke.

00:57:26.000 Someone was trying to be edgy.

00:57:28.000 So, the website where you find the database for these cards is called Gatherer.

00:57:32.000 And it's like, you can go and look up in the database of all these cards.

00:57:35.000 That's relatively new, man.

00:57:37.000 Compared to the age of the game.

00:57:37.000 Yeah.

00:57:38.000 That means, when they were creating this catalog, probably, I don't know when Gather was made, but I bet it was in the last ten years.

00:57:43.000 Someone was like, Yeah, I'm not sure.

00:57:45.000 What number should this card have?

00:57:47.000 Hmm.

00:57:48.000 How about a certain specific number that references people in hoods?

00:57:48.000 Huh.

00:57:52.000 Yeah.

00:57:52.000 With pointy tips, and like, It's so bad.

00:57:55.000 But, you know, listen, listen.

00:57:56.000 Banning the card is the stupidest thing they could do.

00:58:00.000 The card is fine, change the art, move on.

00:58:04.000 But it was never reprinted.

00:58:06.000 It was only printed once in Legends, and that's it, 1994.

00:58:06.000 Right.

00:58:09.000 It was only printed once.

00:58:10.000 It's an extremely old card.

00:58:12.000 It's actually worth a lot of money.

00:58:13.000 I'll tell you what, when I got word, when I got word they were banning this card, you know what I did?

00:58:18.000 He ran in here looking for his wallet?

00:58:19.000 I ran in, grabbed my wallet, and I'm like, I gotta buy as many cards as I can, I'm gonna buy these.

00:58:22.000 Dude, it's gonna be, it's banned art.

00:58:25.000 It's like a banned book.

00:58:26.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:58:26.000 They're doing it to movies, they're doing it to books, and now they're doing it to cards.

00:58:29.000 Yeah, that's how you do it.

00:58:30.000 is sold out everywhere yeah dude I couldn't buy it I tried to buy gone with the wind did you yeah

00:58:34.000 I couldn't do it sold out everywhere sold out wow yeah and apparently they're gonna bring it back

00:58:38.000 and put like an education thing on it what like in the middle of the movie like by the way it's

00:58:42.000 gonna be like excuse me this is a public service announcement this movie this section of the movie

00:58:48.000 is quite racist so no no keep in mind when you watch the next two minutes of this 70 80 year old

00:58:55.000 I don't know how old it is.

00:58:56.000 60 years?

00:58:57.000 I have no idea.

00:58:58.000 Realistically, there's going to be a disclaimer in the beginning.

00:58:59.000 It's like, this movie is a product of its time.

00:59:03.000 It's going to be way worse than that.

00:59:05.000 You're going to get to the scene where they're talking about slavery, and there's going to be big white flashing letters saying, this is racist and is bad.

00:59:11.000 or they're gonna do a really awful dub with like modern recording equipment so where someone's gonna be like honey the people in the back the nice people who work for us where are they like they're gonna just layer in like they're gonna replace the word slave with like good people who have jobs I don't know what they're actually going to do with that.

00:59:29.000 I don't know how you contextualize an old movie.

00:59:33.000 I think everyone knows the movie's old.

00:59:35.000 I know how you do it.

00:59:36.000 You know how you do it?

00:59:37.000 You teach people history.

00:59:39.000 And then you go on from there.

00:59:41.000 That if you teach them history, slavery was bad, we got rid of it.

00:59:43.000 You disagree?

00:59:44.000 No, no, the problem with that is how are you supposed to manipulate them into enacting a communist system if you teach them what causes communism?

00:59:51.000 Oh, okay, you're right.

00:59:51.000 Yeah, you got me there.

00:59:53.000 If you want to create a horrific authoritarian nightmare and people know the steps involved in creating it because they can read history, you can't teach them history.

00:59:53.000 I'm sorry.

01:00:02.000 Yeah, that's fair.

01:00:02.000 You got me.

01:00:03.000 Naughty words must be banned.

01:00:05.000 Yeah.

01:00:05.000 Indeed.

01:00:07.000 Well, we're nailing it.

01:00:08.000 And naughty movies and naughty cards of magic.

01:00:10.000 Yes.

01:00:11.000 Man, this is making me want to become, like, just very contrarian.

01:00:15.000 Like, they banned cards for being racist.

01:00:15.000 Me too.

01:00:18.000 Whoa, whoa, excuse me.

01:00:19.000 You do quite a good job of that.

01:00:21.000 Yeah, at least from where I'm sitting.

01:00:24.000 That's funny.

01:00:29.000 Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez says, hey, big tech companies are spying on us and they shouldn't.

01:00:32.000 I say, you're here.

01:00:34.000 Like, I got no problem agreeing when they're right.

01:00:35.000 Absolutely.

01:00:36.000 But seeing this, I'm like, you're literally going to ban a card called Cleanse because you think that one's bad, but you don't think the other one is bad either?

01:00:44.000 Makes me want to just make a deck of all of the racist cards.

01:00:44.000 Yeah.

01:00:47.000 I think I'm gonna do it.

01:00:48.000 Do it.

01:00:48.000 I'm gonna start researching all the cards.

01:00:49.000 The quote-unquote racist cards.

01:00:52.000 I'm gonna make a deck and I'm gonna call it like unchecked bigotry or something.

01:00:55.000 I'm gonna show up to a magic event and I'm gonna be like, they're gonna be like, so what deck are you playing?

01:01:01.000 Oh, it's the racist one.

01:01:03.000 Every single card in this is meant to just make people offended.

01:01:06.000 Yep.

01:01:07.000 And they're all legal and there's nothing you can do to stop them.

01:01:09.000 I can see him doing it.

01:01:10.000 Unchecked bigotry.

01:01:11.000 It would be a terrible deck, mind you.

01:01:14.000 It would be awful.

01:01:16.000 Unless you're playing against the right color.

01:01:18.000 Or the wrong color.

01:01:22.000 No, but I'd be willing to bet they only banned a few cards.

01:01:27.000 I'm sure there are a ton more cards that specifically target white or black creatures.

01:01:32.000 Or permanents or whatever.

01:01:34.000 Protection from white, circle of protection black. 0.74

01:01:37.000 I mean, I could probably go for a little while about random, you know, I had a knight deck that had all my knights had protection from white.

01:01:37.000 I know.

01:01:46.000 And I thought, I used to think Wrath of God would be, they were protected from it.

01:01:51.000 I found out later on when I actually understood the rules of magic.

01:01:54.000 Let me break something down for you.

01:01:55.000 Are you familiar with the great Count Dankula?

01:01:58.000 I am.

01:01:58.000 Well, Count Dankula made a video where he made one pug Oh yeah.

01:02:02.000 Raise his paw in a salute.

01:02:05.000 A rude historical salute.

01:02:08.000 Yes, a rude historical salute.

01:02:09.000 And he got arrested for it.

01:02:11.000 Did you know that Count Dankula made a video where he trained the Black Pug to do the Black Power Fist? 0.99

01:02:11.000 Yes. 0.99

01:02:16.000 I did not know that!

01:02:17.000 So when he said Black Power, the Pug would raise his fist. 0.70

01:02:19.000 This is the best thing.

01:02:20.000 Yeah.

01:02:21.000 Oh my gosh.

01:02:22.000 And didn't get arrested for that?

01:02:23.000 He did not get arrested.

01:02:24.000 Equality for the Pugs, not for Dankula. 0.99

01:02:27.000 If you made a deck that was all just targeting all of the white creatures, nobody would care. 1.00

01:02:33.000 They're gonna be like, hey, stick it to them, right?

01:02:36.000 More power.

01:02:37.000 That's okay.

01:02:39.000 It's them pushing that narrative when they want to, when it suits them.

01:02:46.000 I don't like that.

01:02:46.000 That's not equality.

01:02:48.000 Aren't you fighting for equality?

01:02:50.000 No, they're not.

01:02:51.000 They're like, please don't.

01:02:52.000 Clearly not.

01:02:53.000 Clearly not.

01:02:54.000 These people have gone nuts.

01:02:55.000 There was actually a big complaint, I guess, in the magic community a while ago because they like started drawing women really frumpy and fat.

01:03:01.000 Okay.

01:03:02.000 So like in early magic, you had angels that were like busty hot women and like, you know, things like that. 1.00

01:03:07.000 Like how you think of angels, you know?

01:03:09.000 Not really.

01:03:09.000 Oh, I don't know.

01:03:10.000 I don't think angels are giant busty women. 1.00

01:03:12.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:03:13.000 I don't think that either.

01:03:14.000 What do you think of them as?

01:03:16.000 Um, like wearing long white gowns where you can't see their body form and they're carrying harps and floating around and stuff.

01:03:23.000 Pillars and stuff.

01:03:26.000 And not always, like, women.

01:03:29.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

01:03:30.000 Most of them are male angels in the Bible.

01:03:32.000 Yeah, you hear about all sorts of angels.

01:03:34.000 Most of the angels are dudes?

01:03:36.000 There are no female angels in the Bible.

01:03:39.000 There you go.

01:03:40.000 What is that all about?

01:03:40.000 I don't know.

01:03:42.000 Sexism, probably. 1.00

01:03:42.000 That was funny. 1.00

01:03:44.000 So yeah, I don't know.

01:03:45.000 Whatever, man.

01:03:46.000 When people started complaining because they created female characters that were just very drawn like SJWs.

01:03:52.000 What's that new girl with the epic backpack that she can fit anything in? 1.00

01:03:57.000 What is it?

01:03:58.000 Dora the Explorer?

01:04:00.000 No, but the new superheroes or something?

01:04:02.000 Aw, man.

01:04:03.000 They literally made a Dora the Explorer a superhero except she's older and fat. 1.00

01:04:08.000 Well, that's getting into movies, too, though.

01:04:09.000 It's getting into everything.

01:04:11.000 That's kind of the point.

01:04:12.000 It's spreading.

01:04:13.000 It's like a disease.

01:04:14.000 Dude, this makes me so mad.

01:04:15.000 OK, I'm going to rant for a minute because I worked really, really hard to not look frumpy.

01:04:21.000 I spent years changing the way I ate so that I wouldn't look like that.

01:04:25.000 And now that I don't, guess what they're saying to people like Adele?

01:04:29.000 They're telling her that she's caving to the patriarchy for losing weight and it's making me really mad.

01:04:36.000 Let's go full conspiracy theory here.

01:04:37.000 You know what?

01:04:38.000 It's China. 0.90

01:04:38.000 You know why? 0.90

01:04:39.000 China.

01:04:39.000 Think about the things they're encouraging.

01:04:43.000 They're sowing racial division, a major vulnerability in our country, but they're also encouraging people to be fat. 0.73

01:04:48.000 Yeah.

01:04:48.000 Imagine this.

01:04:50.000 A bunch of angry, doughy, different races fighting each other, and then China comes to invade, and it's just a big field of fat people going like, and China's like, look how pathetic and weak they are. 0.99

01:05:00.000 That's amazing.

01:05:01.000 They're buttering us up, making us fight each other.

01:05:03.000 Trailblazer.

01:05:04.000 Thank you, RNK.

01:05:04.000 Yes.

01:05:06.000 Cool, cool.

01:05:06.000 Trailblazer.

01:05:06.000 Yes.

01:05:07.000 That's the name.

01:05:08.000 As if she could blaze a trail.

01:05:09.000 That's the name of that backpack.

01:05:11.000 Social justice warrior.

01:05:13.000 Backpack chick. 0.99

01:05:15.000 Look, man.

01:05:17.000 Oh my god.

01:05:19.000 Who was it who said that China had the right idea?

01:05:21.000 Was it Bill Gates?

01:05:22.000 Somebody was talking about social media censorship.

01:05:25.000 I don't remember.

01:05:25.000 Yeah, and they were like, China has the right idea.

01:05:28.000 Don't like that.

01:05:28.000 Ew.

01:05:29.000 No thanks.

01:05:30.000 China's a horrifying nightmare, dude. 1.00

01:05:32.000 Indeed it is.

01:05:34.000 Yeah, but you know what?

01:05:35.000 I think one of the biggest problems with liberty is that you have vulnerabilities that authoritarians don't have.

01:05:42.000 So long as they find a way to suppress their population and beat them down without collapsing, they're gonna be at a major advantage.

01:05:50.000 So, like, when you look at COVID, China just welded people's doors shut.

01:05:54.000 And then they came back and found dead bodies.

01:05:54.000 Yeah, they did.

01:05:56.000 Yeah, it's messed up.

01:05:56.000 They don't care.

01:05:57.000 They don't care.

01:05:58.000 In the United States, we got civil liberties.

01:06:00.000 Well, you know, it didn't work out too well for the most part for us, but you can see how the government tried to suppress, to hold us back, because it is an advantage of authoritarian dictatorship to lock everyone in their homes and let the sick die, whereas here the individual is paramount.

01:06:13.000 So it's a good thing.

01:06:15.000 But there's a balance between security and liberty, and we opt heavily towards liberty.

01:06:20.000 China.

01:06:21.000 Security.

01:06:23.000 If they think you're bad, they'll just chuck you off a building like, no way man, we're not gonna risk it.

01:06:27.000 They don't care.

01:06:28.000 It was a suicide.

01:06:29.000 No, they wouldn't even do that.

01:06:30.000 They would say, we killed him because he was a threat.

01:06:33.000 And they'd be like, yep.

01:06:34.000 And?

01:06:35.000 What are you gonna say?

01:06:36.000 They post videos of them torturing people.

01:06:39.000 You see the video of the guy apologizing to the cops?

01:06:42.000 They were like, why did you badmouth us?

01:06:44.000 He posted on some social media site that he thought the cops were dumb.

01:06:47.000 And he was like, I'm drunk, I was sorry.

01:06:49.000 And they were like, are you?

01:06:50.000 And he's like, yes, please, please.

01:06:51.000 And they upload the video and want everyone to see it.

01:06:52.000 Oh, man.

01:06:53.000 So you know who Mark Rosewater is?

01:06:55.000 Who?

01:06:56.000 Mark Rosewater is one of the lead developers for Wizards and Magic the Gathering.

01:07:01.000 Yeah.

01:07:02.000 So he held an event, I think it was two days ago, and he always does this.

01:07:08.000 Oh, a new set's coming out, I'm going to tease a few cards, I'm going to have a game you

01:07:12.000 can play, and you can try to guess what card it is, and I'll show you guys.

01:07:17.000 So he played the game Hangman, where you guess a letter, and if you mess it up, the next

01:07:23.000 day he apologized.

01:07:25.000 For playing hangman?

01:07:26.000 I'm sorry.

01:07:27.000 I'm sorry.

01:07:28.000 It was a terrible idea.

01:07:30.000 I shouldn't have done it.

01:07:31.000 And it's like... What?

01:07:33.000 Pathetic.

01:07:34.000 I'm so confused.

01:07:35.000 Absolutely pathetic.

01:07:37.000 Yeah.

01:07:38.000 There was some woman who got cancelled, I guess, because 20 years ago she posted some, like, offensive memes or something.

01:07:44.000 Maybe it wasn't 20 years ago, it was like 10 years ago.

01:07:46.000 And she wrote this long screed of like, I'm so sorry and I learn every day.

01:07:51.000 You know, your apology is worthless.

01:07:52.000 They don't care.

01:07:53.000 Nope, they don't care.

01:07:54.000 You're already cancelled.

01:07:55.000 Could you imagine apologizing to the zombie horde coming to eat you?

01:07:59.000 They're like, I'm so sorry, you're hungry.

01:08:01.000 I didn't realize that I smelled so delicious.

01:08:03.000 I'll try and do better.

01:08:04.000 And what is their response?

01:08:06.000 Yeah, that's exactly what it's like.

01:08:08.000 They don't care.

01:08:09.000 There's nothing you can say.

01:08:11.000 Like, trying to...

01:08:13.000 You're feeding the alligator.

01:08:15.000 You're arguing with the pack of, the swarm of piranhas coming to devour your body.

01:08:21.000 That guy that just got fired from, what is the, he was the elongated man on Flash.

01:08:29.000 Oh yeah!

01:08:30.000 He had some stupid tweets.

01:08:34.000 They were really gross.

01:08:35.000 They were really bad.

01:08:37.000 But why didn't anyone care then?

01:08:38.000 You know?

01:08:39.000 Now, they're searching.

01:08:41.000 It's Inquisition.

01:08:43.000 No, Inquisition.

01:08:44.000 You keep saying it.

01:08:45.000 Literally, Inquisition.

01:08:46.000 And they keep proving you right.

01:08:47.000 And you know what, man?

01:08:49.000 Do you know what comes next?

01:08:50.000 Listen.

01:08:52.000 I talk to my individual friends and they're like, you know, I've been talking to a lot of my friends lately.

01:08:56.000 I'm like, this is getting out of hand.

01:08:58.000 Like they're banning books, movies, games.

01:09:00.000 It's like a purge.

01:09:01.000 Statues are being torn down.

01:09:03.000 They defaced Abraham Lincoln.

01:09:04.000 And the response I get is, but those are the bad seeds.

01:09:07.000 I'm like, you moron.

01:09:10.000 People are literally dying.

01:09:12.000 Some cops have been killed.

01:09:13.000 You say, but those are the fringe elements.

01:09:15.000 They're the ones who take control after you get your ideology pushed through.

01:09:19.000 And Chicago had the most deaths?

01:09:23.000 I don't even know.

01:09:24.000 Since the 60s or whatever.

01:09:25.000 Yeah, it's insane.

01:09:26.000 How many people are getting shot?

01:09:28.000 And they're like, but we're the good guys.

01:09:30.000 I'm like, no, you are the mindless masses providing cover for the insanity.

01:09:34.000 Because what happens is when you all band together and start demanding that a company bends the knee, then the extremists come in and say, see that mob?

01:09:42.000 They're with us.

01:09:43.000 Do what we say or else.

01:09:44.000 And then the company says, okay, okay, okay, okay.

01:09:46.000 So you end up with that Sheraton hotel owner graciously giving up his building.

01:09:46.000 Definitely.

01:09:50.000 And all these companies, we're with you, with you, keep buying our products, keep buying our products.

01:09:55.000 That's all I'm seeing.

01:09:56.000 You know what worries me?

01:09:58.000 These people who are getting cancelled and banned.

01:10:00.000 They're not just going to wither up and, you know, die.

01:10:04.000 They need money somehow.

01:10:05.000 Yeah.

01:10:06.000 The people get banned from social media.

01:10:07.000 Alex Jones, he made his own website.

01:10:09.000 Yeah.

01:10:09.000 So you're going to create parallel systems.

01:10:12.000 You know, and then you're going to end up with people finding resources through other means, and then you have no ties and nothing holding anyone back.

01:10:12.000 It's true.

01:10:18.000 The funny thing about all the social media bannings and the firing, like Roseanne getting fired and these staffers getting fired, is that if they really wanted to, they could use that to say, give an apology and we'll make it a PSA and then we're good to go.

01:10:31.000 Instead, it's like, no, we're going to get rid of you.

01:10:34.000 You're done forever.

01:10:35.000 That's a mistake.

01:10:37.000 That will cost them power.

01:10:39.000 So these people who are apologizing, a lot of people are saying it's a struggle session.

01:10:42.000 It's like what they used to do in the Chinese communist revolution.

01:10:46.000 They would make the people confess to sins they didn't commit and then humiliate them in public.

01:10:52.000 Oh, that's weird, because I actually read an article about that today, or I saw a headline about, um, that's exactly what they do in the Chinese prison camps still.

01:10:59.000 They give you a list of crimes to pick off of, and then you commit, or you commit to, like, pleading guilty, and that's that.

01:11:06.000 You're in.

01:11:08.000 So you're guilty.

01:11:08.000 And this is where we're at now.

01:11:10.000 They will come for you, and the scary thing is, no one is safe.

01:11:14.000 So right now, it's an inquisition.

01:11:16.000 We had cancel culture.

01:11:17.000 This was the budding, the growth.

01:11:19.000 Now it's a literal inquisition where people are getting purged.

01:11:23.000 They're hunting them down.

01:11:25.000 Everyone.

01:11:25.000 Regular people.

01:11:26.000 Okay, listen.

01:11:27.000 Cancel culture for a while annoyed a lot of people.

01:11:29.000 They would find a celebrity and then find a tweet they post and be like, ah!

01:11:32.000 Now you have Twitter accounts where they literally go to random, like, high school girls. 0.90

01:11:37.000 And they're like, you know what to do, we're exposing them.

01:11:39.000 No, now it's even worse.

01:11:41.000 It's way worse.

01:11:42.000 I'm seeing this now, it's being spread around.

01:11:44.000 What you do is, you take a picture, you go on the person's page, you find a picture of them, put some text.

01:11:50.000 You fake it.

01:11:51.000 Post it, look at what this person said.

01:11:54.000 Canceled.

01:11:55.000 It's been going on, it's happening right now.

01:11:58.000 So it's lies.

01:12:00.000 Do you know what comes next?

01:12:00.000 Welcome to the Inquisition.

01:12:02.000 Yeah, what does come next?

01:12:02.000 Cassandra Fairbanks posted on Twitter the audio of the 9-1-1 call where she said, where she's crying with her daughter saying, there's people shooting guns at my house and fireworks.

01:12:11.000 That's the next step.

01:12:13.000 Yeah.

01:12:14.000 And then they come to your house.

01:12:16.000 And so right now in New York, they are, they have given immunity to Black Lives Matter protesters.

01:12:21.000 Any crime.

01:12:21.000 Not even kidding.

01:12:22.000 They straight up said, if you are protesting for Black Lives Matter,

01:12:25.000 you will not be charged with a crime.

01:12:27.000 Any crime.

01:12:28.000 Related to the protesting.

01:12:29.000 Low level.

01:12:30.000 So if you're looting or rioting or something.

01:12:33.000 But they, so if you basically go out, commit a low level offense,

01:12:37.000 and you're a church goer.

01:12:40.000 Oh, sorry.

01:12:41.000 You know, we favor one ideology.

01:12:44.000 This is how it starts.

01:12:46.000 In Fort Worth, they specifically stated all of the people arrested on rioting charges will have their charges dropped.

01:12:53.000 Rioting charges, not protesting.

01:12:55.000 Wow.

01:12:55.000 Dude, that's in Texas?

01:12:57.000 In Fort Worth.

01:12:58.000 I'm surprised and don't like that.

01:13:01.000 And now we're seeing all these companies bend over backwards.

01:13:05.000 Look, man, the dominoes are falling over.

01:13:07.000 It doesn't matter what the well-to-do liberals say about the bad seeds and the bad eggs.

01:13:12.000 No, it's all happening.

01:13:13.000 All right?

01:13:15.000 So if we're going to assume the dominoes keep falling over, what happens next?

01:13:19.000 We're getting dangerously close to a point where an angry mob shows up to your house and the cops say, it's easier to arrest you than to deal with a mob.

01:13:28.000 So let's say you live in a small town.

01:13:30.000 Your small town has 10 cops on duty.

01:13:33.000 And a mob of 300 people come from outside your town.

01:13:36.000 Show up at your house.

01:13:37.000 What are those 10 cops going to do?

01:13:39.000 Nothing.

01:13:40.000 And so they're going to say, sorry, can't help you.

01:13:42.000 And then you get beaten and dragged down to the street and strung up.

01:13:45.000 That's why these companies are bending over backwards because they don't want to deal with it.

01:13:48.000 It's like I've been saying, man.

01:13:49.000 They're afraid.

01:13:50.000 They know Antifa will show up with bricks and firebombs. 0.99

01:13:53.000 and they know that the right won't. So they're scared of the left and they all bent over

01:13:57.000 backwards for them. And now they have massive institutional power. So we may see, because of

01:14:05.000 all of this weird fringe culture revolution stuff, a horrified suburbanite demographic voting for

01:14:12.000 Republicans and Trump in droves.

01:14:15.000 I don't think that's necessarily going to change anything.

01:14:17.000 A lot of the Republicans did literally nothing when they had all branches of the government.

01:14:21.000 Not only that, some of them agree and they don't like Trump.

01:14:21.000 Yeah.

01:14:24.000 You still have never, you know, you have a small faction of Republicans who think Trump is an insurgent and they don't like him.

01:14:29.000 So it's not a guarantee anything changes.

01:14:29.000 Yeah.

01:14:30.000 There's also a lot of Democrats that, uh, going deplorable.

01:14:33.000 Democrat to deplorable, you know?

01:14:34.000 For sure.

01:14:35.000 Me included.

01:14:35.000 I'm just saying we don't, we don't know exactly what will happen.

01:14:35.000 For sure.

01:14:39.000 It could be that a lot of people are just not paying attention and don't care.

01:14:43.000 And then the Democrats win and take over and these things get steamrolled through at such rapid speed.

01:14:49.000 If the Democrats in New York are willing to give immunity, if Fort Worth is willing to drop riding charges, They are granting ideological, they're giving privilege to their ideological group.

01:15:02.000 Well, if you're not part of that, they will come to you and they will drag you on the street, put you on your knees and say, convert. 0.70

01:15:07.000 Yeah.

01:15:08.000 Join us.

01:15:09.000 And if you say no, then you get locked up or worse.

01:15:12.000 Now, I don't know if slash when that'll happen, but I'll tell you this, man.

01:15:15.000 I didn't think they were going to show up at Cassandra's house as fast as they did.

01:15:18.000 That was fast.

01:15:19.000 It was the same day- I mean, I watched her tweets, I follow her, and I- I was- I was- even- I was like, okay, whoa, you're- you're kinda goading them out right now.

01:15:28.000 She goaded them.

01:15:29.000 She was trolling.

01:15:30.000 She trolled them to no end.

01:15:32.000 Yep.

01:15:33.000 And- And they shut up at her house.

01:15:34.000 I'm not- I'm not condoning it, but it's like, I wasn't surprised.

01:15:38.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:15:38.000 Even if they say crazy things.

01:15:39.000 It's messed up.

01:15:40.000 You're not allowed to shoot at people's houses. You have a right to free speech.

01:15:43.000 Even if they say crazy things.

01:15:44.000 Yep, and it's all going away.

01:15:46.000 It is.

01:15:47.000 So you think about what happened with the rioting in New York when,

01:15:49.000 I referenced this guy's tweet where he said he called the police and the police said,

01:15:52.000 our city is under attack. What would you have us do? Do what you got to do.

01:15:55.000 So yeah, it's going to come to a point where a mob shows up and you call the cops and they're like,

01:15:59.000 there's 300 people.

01:16:01.000 What do you want us to do?

01:16:03.000 Oh, I hope you armed yourself and you're protecting yourself.

01:16:06.000 I don't think the average person has to worry about it, but I also think we have a serious problem with regular people not standing up.

01:16:12.000 And they're scared of getting canceled.

01:16:13.000 But the more you don't speak up, the more they think they control things and the more companies bend over and more resources they gain.

01:16:20.000 They are counting on your refusal to speak up for what you believe in.

01:16:25.000 Now, many people may secretly go and vote for Trump.

01:16:28.000 You know why?

01:16:28.000 I think that'll only make it worse.

01:16:29.000 Because these people are so convinced that they're the majority and they're right and the polls reflect it, that certainly if Trump wins, he must have cheated.

01:16:38.000 And so then what do you think they're going to do?

01:16:40.000 Revolt?

01:16:41.000 Yeah, they're going to be like, he cheated.

01:16:42.000 It's not real.

01:16:43.000 They're going to challenge him in the Supreme Court.

01:16:45.000 The Supreme Court might flip.

01:16:48.000 You know, it might rule in favor of them. 0.93

01:16:50.000 Oh no.

01:16:51.000 We saw what happened in North Jersey with the voter fraud stuff, the mail-in voting, 3,000 votes being disqualified.

01:16:56.000 All it takes is for them to say, look at the lines in Atlanta, like they've been doing.

01:17:01.000 Oh no, the lines are so long now that we couldn't fairly vote.

01:17:04.000 Trump cheated.

01:17:05.000 We must have the Supreme Court remove him.

01:17:07.000 Yeah, I saw a video AOC was pushing for mail-in voting.

01:17:10.000 It's like, no.

01:17:10.000 Yep.

01:17:12.000 At first, the reason for mail-in voting was COVID.

01:17:14.000 Now that COVID is over, what are they saying?

01:17:16.000 Oh, it's because of long voting lines.

01:17:18.000 Why?

01:17:19.000 Because they just want to get it.

01:17:20.000 So make it a national holiday to vote.

01:17:23.000 Hello?

01:17:24.000 Why aren't we doing that?

01:17:26.000 If you want to change the rules, I say you do it after the election.

01:17:29.000 Boom.

01:17:29.000 You don't do it on election year.

01:17:30.000 Agreed.

01:17:30.000 Because that's what they're doing.

01:17:31.000 Yeah, they're trying to change the game.

01:17:32.000 Yeah, five months before.

01:17:33.000 Yeah, exactly!

01:17:34.000 That's insane!

01:17:35.000 Seriously, that's absolute insanity.

01:17:37.000 Absolute insanity.

01:17:37.000 So, you know what, man?

01:17:42.000 For those that are listening, go watch documentaries on the Spanish Civil War.

01:17:45.000 A lot of crazy similarities.

01:17:48.000 I was reading tweets from somebody saying that George Orwell had spent time in the Spanish Civil War, I guess.

01:17:55.000 I don't know if that's true, but it was a response to Majid Nawaz, who tweeted the quote from 1984, that the streets had been renamed, the statues had been renamed, history has been stopped.

01:18:09.000 We're seeing all this now.

01:18:10.000 Statues are being pulled down.

01:18:11.000 Yep.

01:18:11.000 Streets are literally being renamed in New York City.

01:18:14.000 They're actually renaming streets.

01:18:17.000 They're going to take down a bunch of statues across the country.

01:18:19.000 Some of them I kind of roll my eyes at, like, you know, it's kind of dumb we had these statues in the first place.

01:18:24.000 But the way they're doing it is lawlessness.

01:18:26.000 Yep, I agree.

01:18:26.000 They show up in the middle of the, you know, well, now they're showing up in the middle of the day.

01:18:29.000 They used to show up in the middle of the night.

01:18:31.000 And now they just all dance and sing as they tear it down.

01:18:34.000 And democracy be damned.

01:18:36.000 They don't care.

01:18:37.000 I guess we'll see how things play out, huh?

01:18:39.000 But I'll tell you what, I say that all the time.

01:18:41.000 Yes, you do.

01:18:42.000 Yeah, you do.

01:18:42.000 No, no, but here's why I say this.

01:18:44.000 Because I always say, here's how things can happen, I guess we'll see.

01:18:46.000 And guess what?

01:18:48.000 I've been decently correct on what we could expect.

01:18:51.000 Annoyingly so.

01:18:51.000 I will only hold on to 2018 as proof that Tim is not always right, because he makes some pretty scary predictions.

01:18:57.000 I'm just hanging on to that midterm election from 2018, I think it was.

01:19:01.000 Yeah, I didn't consider that Trump's base wouldn't turn out.

01:19:04.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:19:05.000 There's some things you just can't account for until it happens.

01:19:07.000 I don't think my predictions are always right.

01:19:10.000 Right, that's why you say we'll see how it plays out.

01:19:12.000 I'll tell you what though, I hope I'm wrong about Hillary being the VP. 0.97

01:19:15.000 Seriously, stop saying that.

01:19:17.000 I don't think so.

01:19:18.000 Biden just said today, I don't know if you know this everyone, Biden just said today That we need a strong VP.

01:19:25.000 The one I choose needs to be ready to be president on day one.

01:19:29.000 He's going to drop dead during the inauguration.

01:19:32.000 What kind of president, running for president, says that?

01:19:36.000 Joe Biden, that kind of president.

01:19:38.000 Coherently.

01:19:39.000 Funny enough.

01:19:39.000 They're going to be doing the inauguration.

01:19:41.000 He's going to be standing there and they're going to be like, put your hand on the Bible.

01:19:43.000 And he's going to put his right hand up and then his left hand is going to go, He's gonna die and he falls over. Oh, no, you know

01:19:53.000 Well, I don't know but I can tell you what's gonna happen now we're gonna read some super chat

01:19:59.000 Have not done it already Tap smash that like button, you know, wrap it up

01:20:11.000 It really does help and you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram at Tim cast and I post on Twitter

01:20:45.000 Yes, they can and they do.

01:20:47.000 My goodness, do they ever.

01:20:48.000 Excellent.

01:20:49.000 Well, now we must take your questions.

01:20:51.000 So we do, for the most part, first come first serve, but we can't get to everybody, so we'll just start reading.

01:20:57.000 Flood says, Tim, please refer to the City Hall Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ, in Seattle, henceforth as Fort Furry.

01:20:57.000 Yep.

01:21:04.000 Thanks, Adam.

01:21:04.000 Please spin the UFO.

01:21:06.000 I knew it was coming.

01:21:07.000 Such a great idea.

01:21:08.000 Oh, I'm ready for it.

01:21:10.000 I like that name.

01:21:10.000 That's a good point.

01:21:11.000 That's also true.

01:21:12.000 Yeah.

01:21:12.000 Yeah, they're just minding their own business.

01:21:14.000 It's not fair.

01:21:15.000 Now they're getting the shakedown.

01:21:16.000 Stinks.

01:21:16.000 Yeah.

01:21:17.000 Sorry, I got a Soyberryan Jesus.

01:21:18.000 That's excellent.

01:21:18.000 Soyberryan.

01:21:19.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:21:19.000 I've leveled up, everyone.

01:21:20.000 and disconnected from the free zone on the grounds that it's a foreign entity.

01:21:23.000 Yeah, but that's a good point.

01:21:24.000 But the people who live there aren't part of this.

01:21:26.000 That's also true.

01:21:27.000 Yeah.

01:21:28.000 Yeah, they're just minding their own business.

01:21:29.000 Now they're getting shakedown.

01:21:30.000 Yeah.

01:21:31.000 I'm sorry, I got a soy-barian Jesus. 1.00

01:21:34.000 Soy-barian.

01:21:35.000 That's excellent.

01:21:36.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:21:37.000 I've leveled up.

01:21:38.000 Truly excellent.

01:21:39.000 Grim Soul Banisher says, I came late.

01:21:40.000 Spin the UFO for us, please.

01:21:41.000 Well, I'll give it a little love tap.

01:21:45.000 Yorkshire Tom says, easy way to sort the chaz situation. 1.00

01:21:48.000 Cut power and water to the area.

01:21:50.000 Siege tactics work, it's why they haven't changed in centuries.

01:21:53.000 Yeah, but the businesses aren't involved, it's just the streets.

01:21:56.000 Yeah, and I guess a bunch of people live there too, like 500 houses.

01:21:59.000 I.B.

01:21:59.000 Rippenham says, Fart Shoot is getting thousands of new subs a day, but the liberal extremist group Fartifa is trying to have me censored.

01:22:06.000 Please fight for me, guys.

01:22:07.000 I will fight for you.

01:22:08.000 I will fight for you till the end.

01:22:09.000 Luke Walters says, thoughts on ranked voting, particularly as a method of improving electability of a third party?

01:22:15.000 I'm generally for it, but I don't want to pretend to be learned enough to know if we should actually implement it.

01:22:20.000 But are you familiar with ranked choice voting?

01:22:21.000 No, tell me about it.

01:22:22.000 So right now, one of the biggest problems in voting is that people say, don't vote third party because then you're helping so-and-so win.

01:22:29.000 Right, okay.

01:22:29.000 So what you do is you get a list of like 10 candidates and you number them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

01:22:35.000 So let's say it's Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and you're like, man, I really don't want Donald Trump.

01:22:40.000 I'm going to give, you know, Gary Johnson a one, meaning if Gary Johnson doesn't win that vote transfers over to my

01:22:46.000 second choice.

01:22:47.000 Oh, oh.

01:22:48.000 Interesting.

01:22:48.000 Yeah, so then you say, my second choice would be Trump.

01:22:52.000 Then when Gary Johnson inevitably loses, Trump gets your vote.

01:22:57.000 So the idea is then, people who are scared now to vote third party because it means the bad candidate wins, won't be scared, and the third party might actually win.

01:23:06.000 Hmm.

01:23:07.000 I kind of like that.

01:23:07.000 Yeah.

01:23:08.000 Okay.

01:23:08.000 Yeah.

01:23:09.000 Cool.

01:23:09.000 Um, I don't know enough about it.

01:23:11.000 I'm sure there are a lot of pitfalls and negatives that we haven't talked about, but I think first past the post, what we do now is, is, is broken.

01:23:17.000 It's a, it's a weird system.

01:23:17.000 Yeah.

01:23:19.000 They say like one person, one vote is the right way to do it.

01:23:21.000 And I'm like, I don't know about that because then you get minority rule and you end up with a two party system that most people are begrudgingly accepting.

01:23:31.000 And maybe there's a better way we can do it, but I don't know for sure, man.

01:23:35.000 Let's see, where are we at?

01:23:36.000 Chronoflation says, Tim, when are you getting a locals page?

01:23:39.000 I don't know if I will.

01:23:41.000 We'll see.

01:23:41.000 But, uh, I don't know.

01:23:43.000 Daniel Ashley says, Occupation Snowflake.

01:23:46.000 Yeah.

01:23:48.000 Shah Akhil Barali says, Is a new enemy or World War III the fix for this mania?

01:23:54.000 I don't know.

01:23:56.000 I mean, if we go to war with China, you think this is going to end?

01:23:59.000 Probably.

01:24:00.000 Yeah.

01:24:01.000 I would say so.

01:24:01.000 Common enemy.

01:24:02.000 Thank you very much.

01:24:03.000 Appreciate it.

01:24:03.000 That was very nice.

01:24:04.000 You're a tanker of happy in an ocean of sad.

01:24:06.000 Thank you very much.

01:24:07.000 Appreciate it.

01:24:08.000 That was very nice.

01:24:09.000 PJ Brennigan says, homeless people may have took all the food in Chaz.

01:24:11.000 We heard they did.

01:24:13.000 Curtis Kruger says, hashtag all ball.

01:24:15.000 Yes!

01:24:16.000 Yes, we've not forgotten.

01:24:18.000 Keeping it alive.

01:24:19.000 That's right.

01:24:20.000 Ajit says, I have declared a free beanie zone at my home.

01:24:22.000 No rules, no bedtimes, pizza every meal.

01:24:24.000 And if my mom tells us to quiet down, we can all demand some tendies together.

01:24:28.000 There you go.

01:24:29.000 That's the way to do it.

01:24:30.000 IRLong says, Hey guys, just wanted to say thank you for being such a great show.

01:24:34.000 It's comforting to find some real liberals who aren't trying to destroy the nation.

01:24:38.000 Yeah, trying to protect it.

01:24:39.000 Right on.

01:24:40.000 Ryan E says, You guys should look up Yuri Bezmenov's KGB ideological subversion exploration from the late 80s.

01:24:46.000 It sounds familiar to what we're currently experiencing in the US.

01:24:49.000 I've seen it many times.

01:24:50.000 And some people have said that the Soviets implanted this subversive cultural plague.

01:24:56.000 Okay.

01:24:57.000 And now they're long since dead, but the virus still persists.

01:25:00.000 So it's like we're being torn up from something they did, but they don't exist anymore.

01:25:04.000 Mark says, can Tim please say Jade?

01:25:07.000 Yeah.

01:25:08.000 Boom.

01:25:08.000 He can.

01:25:08.000 Done.

01:25:09.000 Nailed it.

01:25:10.000 Falls Russ says, once Starlink is open to the public, I think I'll get a bug out van or motor home and just head into the West Virginia mountains.

01:25:18.000 Matter of time before protests happen here in Fairfax County, Virginia.

01:25:20.000 Probably.

01:25:21.000 Everybody is going to West Virginia.

01:25:25.000 I hear from everybody.

01:25:26.000 Yep.

01:25:26.000 It's gonna become the most populous state.

01:25:31.000 Yeah, probably.

01:25:33.000 No, he was way worse.

01:25:34.000 20-year-old Tim Poole would just be cussing and swearing at everybody and telling them to F off.

01:25:39.000 Yeah, 20-year-old Tim Poole was like jumping fences and trespassing the skateboard.

01:25:43.000 Didn't care about any of this stuff.

01:25:44.000 Although I think 20-year-old Tim Pool was watching a bunch of loose change and Alex Jones stuff.

01:25:52.000 Maybe a lot is an exaggeration.

01:25:53.000 Maybe some.

01:25:54.000 When it comes to politics.

01:25:56.000 Deplorable Pirate Captain Gunbeard says, I think we are seeing the far left lash out mortally wounded animal.

01:26:03.000 Like one?

01:26:04.000 The establishment media they took over is dying and this is their last chance.

01:26:08.000 True.

01:26:08.000 It's definitely what it feels like.

01:26:10.000 Goliog says, anime right weebs for Trump. A lot of us anime fans voted for Trump because

01:26:14.000 we're SJW, because we're SJW moral authoritarianism, literally the Christians of the 80s and 90s. 0.86

01:26:21.000 Yeah. Because of? Joseph says, I'm now in a remote camp in Alaska for 30 days and I still get no

01:26:28.000 news updates from you.

01:26:30.000 Get, uh, and I still get to get news updates from you.

01:26:33.000 Oh, awesome.

01:26:33.000 Nice, nice.

01:26:34.000 Cool.

01:26:34.000 Glad to hear it.

01:26:34.000 Right on.

01:26:35.000 Scott Judd says, petition to rename Timcast IRL to Timfowars.

01:26:39.000 Yes!

01:26:40.000 I love it, though.

01:26:41.000 It's not ours.

01:26:42.000 Maybe we could make a parody channel.

01:26:43.000 That would be so fun.

01:26:44.000 Sure.

01:26:45.000 John Vanderswet says, would love to hear about your thoughts on the 1980s Yuri Bezmenov KGB and today's America.

01:26:50.000 It's been a long time.

01:26:50.000 I have to rewatch it.

01:26:52.000 Sorry if we did that.

01:26:52.000 Sorry.

01:26:53.000 Not sorry.

01:26:53.000 1620 Workwear.

01:26:54.000 It's, I think, Massachusetts-based.

01:26:55.000 100% made in America.

01:26:56.000 Everything from the cloth to buttons, anything and everything, they have it all made here.

01:26:59.000 Adam, what was that clothing brand you were talking about yesterday?

01:27:02.000 1620 Workwear. It's I think Massachusetts based. 100% made in America. Everything from the cloth

01:27:11.000 to buttons, anything and everything they have it all made here. It's awesome. It actually

01:27:17.000 used to be my team manager for Bern Helmets.

01:27:20.000 He started a company with his friend, I think it's like five, four years, five years ago now.

01:27:25.000 And man, they're quality.

01:27:26.000 I got a pair of pants from them.

01:27:27.000 Really good.

01:27:28.000 They're stretchy.

01:27:29.000 Well, they have different, they have different ones and I skate, so I need, I need stretchy pants.

01:27:34.000 And they're, they're legit.

01:27:35.000 Check them out.

01:27:35.000 Yeah.

01:27:36.000 Lifetime guarantee. 1620.

01:27:38.000 USA made.

01:27:39.000 The Rising Refugee says, with all these people boycotting racist things, when are they going to boycott the internet because of all the racist things on it?

01:27:45.000 No, they're just going to boycott all the racist things and anything they say is racist, which is basically anything they don't like.

01:27:50.000 Yeah, that's how that works.

01:27:50.000 Yep.

01:27:52.000 Science Man says, Wizards has pulled so much BS recently, I'm really tempted to sell my car to just stop playing.

01:27:57.000 PS, just bought 500 Freedom Seeds.

01:27:59.000 Invest in training, Tim.

01:28:01.000 Freedom Seeds, is that what they're called?

01:28:02.000 Freedom Seeds.

01:28:03.000 Yeah.

01:28:04.000 Connor Greenwell says, Been sharing your videos a lot.

01:28:06.000 Many ignore them.

01:28:07.000 The conservative and military types share it.

01:28:09.000 And the Ri go Ri.

01:28:11.000 Still, I love your work.

01:28:12.000 Adam and Lydia are cool too.

01:28:13.000 Appreciate it.

01:28:13.000 Thank you.

01:28:14.000 Jean McLeod says, I love the quote from Mulan by the Emperor of China.

01:28:18.000 No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow.

01:28:20.000 Be the mountain.

01:28:21.000 Do not bow.

01:28:22.000 P.S.

01:28:23.000 Your masks are coming soon.

01:28:24.000 Thank you.

01:28:26.000 Samuel Eddie says, I should go become the warlord of Chaz. 0.98

01:28:29.000 Look, if someone's going to go do that, they're going to take over.

01:28:29.000 Yeah.

01:28:33.000 What would happen if a bunch of like right-wing individuals just walked in?

01:28:38.000 It would be chaos.

01:28:39.000 The people would be panicking like, what do we do?

01:28:40.000 And they'd be throwing rocks at each other and they would lose because they lose every time.

01:28:44.000 They're very disorganized.

01:28:45.000 I'm not saying it should happen.

01:28:46.000 I'm saying that's probably what would happen.

01:28:48.000 I see it happening.

01:28:50.000 Someone's going to be like, I'm going to go take that place.

01:28:52.000 They can't stop me.

01:28:53.000 You think so?

01:28:54.000 There's people with militias and friends.

01:28:54.000 Yeah.

01:28:57.000 They're like, let's go take that place.

01:29:00.000 It's not the US anymore.

01:29:01.000 It's free spot.

01:29:02.000 It's free territory.

01:29:03.000 So apparently the gun club people were armed because they were concerned that white supremacists would come.

01:29:11.000 What are you gonna do?

01:29:12.000 You gonna shoot him?

01:29:13.000 No, you're not.

01:29:13.000 Yeah.

01:29:14.000 If a bunch of Proud Boys showed up and walked right in, what would you do about it?

01:29:17.000 Nothing.

01:29:17.000 Run away.

01:29:19.000 Not one of those people is gonna shoot anybody.

01:29:21.000 And it's absurd for them to claim they would.

01:29:24.000 If they came with just their shirts on, nothing else.

01:29:28.000 What are you gonna do?

01:29:29.000 They're gonna form a line and they're gonna link arms and they're gonna be like, don't let him in! 0.57

01:29:32.000 And then they'll walk in the other street.

01:29:33.000 And then like 10 of them will walk around and walk up behind him and be like, hey guys, it's Seattle, what are you gonna do?

01:29:38.000 Again, not saying it should happen.

01:29:40.000 I'm saying that it's ridiculous, they think they can stop anything.

01:29:43.000 Shun says, Tim, Adam, and Lids, fun question for you guys.

01:29:47.000 If you were non-commie furries, what would your fursonas be?

01:29:51.000 By the way, you guys keep me sane daily.

01:29:53.000 Also, is there a Twitter follower management, because I want to unlink myself from the dogma.

01:29:57.000 I have no idea about anything having to do with furries, and I couldn't comment.

01:30:01.000 Same here.

01:30:01.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:30:02.000 No clue.

01:30:03.000 No idea.

01:30:05.000 Sean Easton says, Okay, Lydia or Adam, please look up the Chaz from Yu-Gi-Oh! 0.93

01:30:09.000 GX.

01:30:10.000 I never watched the show, but it's a character who uses his name as an adjective.

01:30:13.000 I.e., you just got Chaz'd. 0.99

01:30:14.000 Oh my gosh.

01:30:17.000 Wonderful.

01:30:18.000 David White says, Tim, I've watched every video for over a year.

01:30:21.000 Great podcast to you all.

01:30:22.000 Consider Cheyenne, Wyoming.

01:30:24.000 80 acres for like 60k with a water well and electricity, plus no permit needed for concealed carry of a firearm.

01:30:30.000 That does sound pretty nice.

01:30:32.000 Christopher Mero says, start a new movement.

01:30:34.000 All black lives matter.

01:30:36.000 I posted they cancel culture is 21st century book burning.

01:30:41.000 Isn't that already trending?

01:30:43.000 Because there was like a, you know, a trans black woman that got beat up. 1.00

01:30:48.000 And it was funny because no one wanted to admit it was during the riots.

01:30:48.000 During the riots, yeah.

01:30:52.000 Right, but it totally was.

01:30:54.000 Dude, these people have spent no time in the hood.

01:30:56.000 They have no idea what they're talking about.

01:30:57.000 The interesting thing to me is how a lot of black people vote Democrat, but many of them are very conservative.

01:31:02.000 Like, they are.

01:31:03.000 They're very traditionalist, they're very religious.

01:31:06.000 Democrats are the problem.

01:31:08.000 I mean, for the most part, you either have idealistic and naive or corrupt and manipulative.

01:31:14.000 But to be fair, it's only recently that there have been better Republicans.

01:31:19.000 It's all been the same forever.

01:31:20.000 And the only reason I would say that Democrats now is because you've got Dan Crenshaw, Rand Paul, and who else?

01:31:26.000 Matt Gaetz, I guess.

01:31:26.000 Who else is there?

01:31:28.000 Thomas Massey.

01:31:28.000 I like Tom Cotton.

01:31:29.000 Some people don't, but I like Tom Cotton.

01:31:31.000 Yeah, you're seeing a bunch of the old guard retire, and a bunch of new Republicans come in.

01:31:35.000 And the issue is, I don't agree with them on policy in a lot of ways, but on principle.

01:31:38.000 Freedom of speech, freedom of expression, the right to gather for some amendment.

01:31:41.000 Yeah, they stand for what they think, whether you agree with it or not.

01:31:43.000 Yep.

01:31:44.000 I like that kind of attitude.

01:31:46.000 Thulsa Howdy Dooms, as I gotta say, George Orwell called it.

01:31:46.000 Yeah.

01:31:49.000 Yep.

01:31:51.000 Mr. Scratch says, the longer that these protest riots go on, the more racially polarized people are going to become.

01:31:56.000 Yeah.

01:31:58.000 They are seriously creating a divide.

01:31:58.000 Yep.

01:32:02.000 Yeah.

01:32:02.000 Maybe that's what they're... Where there wasn't one before.

01:32:05.000 I mean, not to say some people out there are racist, because it's true.

01:32:09.000 There are racists among all races.

01:32:12.000 There's a few people that are racist, no doubt.

01:32:14.000 White supremacists like all of this.

01:32:16.000 It's creating a divide.

01:32:16.000 I'm sure.

01:32:18.000 No, they want to create what they call a racial consciousness or a racial awakening in white people.

01:32:22.000 Yeah.

01:32:23.000 So there's actually a thread.

01:32:24.000 I don't know if I have it, but it talks about... I actually do have it.

01:32:28.000 Let's read this.

01:32:29.000 This guy, Konstantin Kaysen.

01:32:32.000 I'm not sure who he is.

01:32:33.000 What is he?

01:32:34.000 He's a winner of Jewish Comedian of the Year and co-host of The Triggered Pod.

01:32:38.000 Here's what he writes.

01:32:38.000 Centrist Chad.

01:32:40.000 I'm going to read you this whole thread.

01:32:41.000 It's very, very important.

01:32:43.000 You're going to hate me for writing this.

01:32:45.000 You're going to resist what I say because you don't want it to be true.

01:32:48.000 You're going to pretend that I want this to be true when in fact there's nothing I hate more than the fact that it has come to this.

01:32:54.000 Here's what happens next.

01:33:00.000 If protesters continue to deface monuments like Winston Churchill's statue and burn British flags on the Cenotaph, you will see groups forming to defend them.

01:33:10.000 These groups will be composed primarily of young, angry white men and led by people with links to groups like the EDL and Tommy Robinson.

01:33:18.000 This is already happening.

01:33:20.000 The groups will gather in city centers to quote, defend our country.

01:33:23.000 They will have names with words like patriotic British defense in them.

01:33:28.000 Inevitably, they will clash with the current protesters and the police under pressure.

01:33:32.000 From the media and political class, the police will overreact.

01:33:36.000 They will treat these groups differently to the BLM protesters.

01:33:39.000 They will use force.

01:33:40.000 They will detain people for breaking lockdown rules.

01:33:42.000 They will issue stiff sentences.

01:33:44.000 The media will do the opposite of what they did with Black Lives Matter.

01:33:48.000 Instead of talking about how, quote, 27 police officers were injured in largely peaceful protests, they will run major front page headlines like, 27 police officers injured by far-right violence.

01:33:59.000 At this point, the majority of the public will lose the ability to be nuanced.

01:34:03.000 The double standards will be too obvious to ignore.

01:34:06.000 Fueled by a constant stream of images of white people kneeling, washing POC feet, and publicly apologizing as they already are, they will conclude that their very identity is under attack. 0.91

01:34:17.000 At this point, all their sensible aversion to supporting thuggish far-right groups will evaporate.

01:34:22.000 They will believe they are in a war for their survival and extreme measures are justified.

01:34:27.000 At the next election, which will likely be brought forward for one reason or another, fueled by mass unemployment resulting from the economic depression, far-right parties will make significant inroads.

01:34:37.000 When I say far-right, I am not talking about what the far-left call far-right, such as anyone who talks about controlling immigration.

01:34:44.000 I'm talking about genuine far-right parties that talk about reversing immigration and deportations.

01:34:50.000 These parties will not win seats or get anywhere near government, but they will put a UKIP-like pressure on the conservatives.

01:34:57.000 Boris Johnson will likely be ousted as too soft and liberal, and replaced by a law-and-order hardliner.

01:35:03.000 From here, I'm afraid, the journey is all too obvious.

01:35:06.000 The only way to prevent this is to reverse the re-racialization of our society. 0.98

01:35:10.000 Either we learn to live together, or the very idea of a multi-ethnic society is over. 0.99

01:35:15.000 End.

01:35:17.000 I completely agree.

01:35:18.000 And there's another article that talks about this that says, quote, far-right groups are already showing up in the UK to defend and to fight back.

01:35:28.000 And you already have the sentiment in the U.S.

01:35:32.000 that you have clearly one ideology that is favored by the police, Fort Worth, New York, and the racetrack in North Carolina that claimed to be a protest got shut down.

01:35:42.000 So what is anyone going to conclude in this?

01:35:44.000 It was an imminent threat, the governor said.

01:35:46.000 Did you hear about the Naval Academy alumni or whatever?

01:35:50.000 Who had his Facebook conversation leaked or something?

01:35:53.000 So apparently the story is, this guy was sitting with his wife, and he somehow accidentally started a livestream on his phone through Facebook.

01:36:01.000 And they started talking about Black Lives Matter, and he basically said exactly what this dude said.

01:36:06.000 That white people can't speak up anymore, they're under attack, they're losing their jobs.

01:36:09.000 How does this make sense?

01:36:10.000 Then some racial slurs got dropped, he was forced to apologize.

01:36:14.000 But this is a very important story because it shows you that... I mean, this guy... I didn't listen to the conversation.

01:36:20.000 It didn't sound like he was overtly racist, but it did sound like he was angry that he, as a white man, was being attacked simply for being white.

01:36:27.000 There are memes about this where it's like...

01:36:29.000 Okay.

01:36:29.000 You've got a bunch of people saying something like, you know, you're white and you're bad.

01:36:33.000 Okay.

01:36:34.000 So then all the white people band together and they go, Oh no, they're forming evil groups. 0.66

01:36:37.000 And it's like, you've, you've threatened them.

01:36:40.000 You insulted them based on race.

01:36:41.000 Race.

01:36:42.000 So they did exactly what anyone would expect them to do.

01:36:45.000 They created a group based on what we are, they are being attacked over.

01:36:48.000 So I think, I think, I think things like this are obvious.

01:36:53.000 I think it'll be... I think it's likely.

01:36:56.000 And then, this is what I warned about a couple of years ago, that I don't think Antifa could ever really win.

01:37:03.000 They're too pathetic.

01:37:04.000 They don't have guns.

01:37:06.000 They're whiny.

01:37:07.000 And they collapse under pressure.

01:37:09.000 And when they finally do seize a few blocks, they're like, please bring us vegan meat substitutes!

01:37:15.000 As a sign of their privilege and their expectation of what they're owed.

01:37:19.000 So here's what I think is a likely potential for what we'll see, you know, coming off of this statement from this guy Constantine.

01:37:25.000 The far left and their constant rioting and their attacks are creating a secret base of Trump voters.

01:37:32.000 Trump and the Republicans will win, the left will freak out, they'll get even more aggressive, and regular people will say, please just make it stop.

01:37:39.000 And Trump will, by sending in the military, invoking the Insurrection Act, and shutting it all down.

01:37:45.000 The people will beg for the authoritarian police state, and they will get it.

01:37:50.000 And then you will have this constant fear in people's minds, which will result in, like what Konstantin was saying, a bunch of far-right groups start emerging.

01:37:57.000 Then you end up with, you know, I don't know, more white identitarian politics, and people just start reverting to the rules of the past, you know, 40 or 50 years because they're scared.

01:38:10.000 And that's the fault of the left.

01:38:12.000 This actually kind of worries me because I think the far left pushes so hard to the left because they only ever think that they will win.

01:38:19.000 And I don't think they recognize that their action is going to cause a very strong opposite reaction because it turns out that people don't really like the far left all that much.

01:38:28.000 They don't like being controlled.

01:38:29.000 They don't like authoritarianism.

01:38:31.000 It's not just that, it's that you're right, but it's also what we're seeing from these leftists goes against the grain.

01:38:39.000 So when you have somebody who grew up in this country and they're like a dude and they're like, I like playing football and I like attractive women.

01:38:46.000 I like women with big boobs. 1.00

01:38:47.000 And then they get told they're wrong and to shut up and you're toxic.

01:38:51.000 They get angry.

01:38:52.000 It's not even about being white.

01:38:53.000 It's about being told that everything you do is toxic all the time and no matter what you do you're wrong and you're bad and they get angry and they hate it and they want to find somebody who they can relate to.

01:39:01.000 Right.

01:39:01.000 What the left is trying to do is essentially rewrite normal human biology.

01:39:08.000 They're trying to claim that... That's a good point. 0.98

01:39:11.000 They've literally said that biological sex isn't real.

01:39:13.000 And they love playing this game where they're like, literally no one believes that.

01:39:17.000 It's like, dude, what's the guy's name?

01:39:19.000 Nicholas Matt.

01:39:21.000 Yeah, in the debate with Jordan Peterson, where he was like, basically it is not true that their thing is biological sex.

01:39:27.000 And we can unpack that at length.

01:39:29.000 I'm a historian of medicine.

01:39:31.000 I can unpack that.

01:39:32.000 But in the interest of time, I won't.

01:39:36.000 They really do believe it.

01:39:38.000 When J.K.

01:39:38.000 Rowling came out and said, I respect and love all of my trans friends and I will fight for you, but I have the lived experience of a female and believe that she'd be protected.

01:39:47.000 She got attacked for it.

01:39:49.000 So you take a regular person who knows nothing, right?

01:39:51.000 And put them in front of a fascist who says, you know, family, God, tradition, and they're going to be like, I recognize these things.

01:39:59.000 And they're going to say, baby, it's cold out night.

01:40:02.000 I remember Christmas when I was growing up.

01:40:04.000 You take the far left and they're going to say, you're not actually a woman. 1.00

01:40:06.000 You're a menstruator. 1.00

01:40:06.000 And they're going to be like, what? 1.00

01:40:08.000 That is so insulting.

01:40:09.000 Yeah, and who do you think they're gonna pick?

01:40:11.000 The crazy person smashing windows?

01:40:13.000 Or the dude who walks up with, you know, he's got the haircut where the sides are shaved and it's flipped over to the side and he's wearing a suit and he says, I just want you to be happy.

01:40:21.000 I want you to have faith in God and I want you to be a good wife and we're gonna make sure you're safe.

01:40:26.000 And there's going to be a bunch of goons with guns standing behind them saying, and we'll make sure you're safe.

01:40:29.000 They're going to pick it.

01:40:31.000 They'll pick it every step of the way because it's safety and security.

01:40:33.000 And the people running through the streets, smashing windows and threatening people and talking about there being no genders or infinite genders freak people out.

01:40:42.000 I think a lot of the stuff we're seeing has a very good possibility that results in fascism.

01:40:46.000 And I think, you know, I wonder if that's how it happened in Europe, because in Germany and Spain and other countries, the communists and the fascists were fighting each other all the time.

01:40:54.000 And the regular liberals got attacked by them, too, and just kind of stood back and did nothing.

01:40:58.000 And that's kind of how the bad stuff happens.

01:41:00.000 So I wonder if, in the end, when given the choice between what they call progress, but is actually just a mishmash of weird ideas, and authoritarian traditionalism, people choose what's familiar and what they think will be, you know, safe and fine.

01:41:14.000 Yeah.

01:41:15.000 Think about it this way, man.

01:41:15.000 They banned Gone with the Wind.

01:41:17.000 Yeah.

01:41:18.000 But they also banned Baby, It's Cold Outside.

01:41:21.000 There's going to be a ton of people who are in their 40s and 50s who are going to think back to that suburban life where it was Christmas time and they woke up early in the morning and there was mom making a batch of chocolate chip cookies and she turned on the song Baby It's Cold Outside and then they remember mom dancing with dad and having a good time and they're going to say that was home, that was family, that was safe.

01:41:41.000 And now they're being told you're wrong, you're evil, you're racist.

01:41:44.000 Some people fall for it.

01:41:46.000 Some people are going to say that was bad.

01:41:47.000 Now, tradition is absolutely fine.

01:41:49.000 It's the authoritarianism part where things become evil.

01:41:52.000 Progress is absolutely fine.

01:41:53.000 It's the authoritarian part where things become evil.

01:41:56.000 Yeah, so we have right now a liberal society, but the problem is...

01:42:01.000 I think too many liberally-minded people—liberty-minded people, libertarian, classically liberal, or otherwise—won't say anything.

01:42:10.000 The conservatives have been speaking up, and they get banned for it.

01:42:12.000 Because liberals won't speak up.

01:42:12.000 Why?

01:42:14.000 I've talked to my friends about it, and they're just like, oh, I don't know, I don't care, I don't want to be involved.

01:42:18.000 That's irresponsible.

01:42:19.000 Okay.

01:42:19.000 Then when you lose your freedoms and you get, you know, kicked in the butt and then all this weird stuff, weird stuff starts happening.

01:42:26.000 Now they're, they're apparently in colleges.

01:42:28.000 A friend of mine is doing a course.

01:42:30.000 They have a specific course where you have to remove gendered language. 0.63

01:42:33.000 So it's, it's like what we saw with that UN segment where you call your landlord, your owner.

01:42:37.000 Yeah.

01:42:37.000 That's in college and that's a part of their mandatory curriculum.

01:42:37.000 Yep.

01:42:39.000 They're infiltrating the colleges and changing curriculum for their end.

01:42:43.000 Yeah, so that's not new.

01:42:44.000 I actually had a friend who lost a girlfriend.

01:42:47.000 She broke up with him because she took a course on this kind of language and gender changing stuff in college. 0.67

01:42:53.000 And she's like, you're part of the patriarchy.

01:42:55.000 I'm sorry.

01:42:56.000 I can't be your girlfriend anymore.

01:42:57.000 I've heard so many of these stories on, uh, like on Reddit.

01:43:01.000 Yeah.

01:43:02.000 People are just like, you know, my girlfriend went to some feminist class and all of a sudden she's like, I have to break up with you because you're, you're the patriarchy. 0.97

01:43:08.000 It made me so, so mad because it was my friend.

01:43:10.000 It was a super nice guy.

01:43:11.000 And I was like, dude, that's not right.

01:43:14.000 Welcome to the Brave New World.

01:43:17.000 Everything mish-mashed a little bit.

01:43:19.000 We got a little bit of Fahrenheit 451.

01:43:20.000 We got a little bit of Brave New World.

01:43:22.000 Yeah.

01:43:23.000 Hey, Constantine Kaysen's new special is called Orwell That Ends Well.

01:43:28.000 Oh, interesting.

01:43:29.000 I don't know who he is.

01:43:29.000 Who is he?

01:43:30.000 He's a comedian.

01:43:31.000 And man, he is based.

01:43:32.000 He just is.

01:43:33.000 Oh, really?

01:43:33.000 2 plus 2 equals 4.

01:43:34.000 Biological sex is real. 1.00

01:43:37.000 Men and women are different.

01:43:38.000 So I followed him.

01:43:39.000 I kind of like him.

01:43:40.000 Somebody retweeted this thread from him.

01:43:41.000 And he says he's a centrist, Chad.

01:43:43.000 Yeah.

01:43:44.000 I've been saying this.

01:43:44.000 But Ester was right.

01:43:45.000 I've been thinking it.

01:43:46.000 And it's what actual white supremacists are hoping for.

01:43:51.000 I'm not trying to say that everybody on the right is.

01:43:54.000 I'm saying that the small, tiny fraction are crossing their fingers hoping that white people 1.00

01:43:54.000 That's not what I'm saying. 1.00

01:43:58.000 are forced to be identitarian.

01:44:00.000 They want it to happen.

01:44:01.000 Yep.

01:44:02.000 And I think they're going to make it happen.

01:44:02.000 They want it.

01:44:04.000 And you know what?

01:44:06.000 I don't like it.

01:44:07.000 I like the idea of America being a melting pot where we can all hang out together and our shared identity is that we're Americans.

01:44:15.000 But they're erasing that.

01:44:16.000 The left is erasing that.

01:44:18.000 You're not allowed to be American. 1.00

01:44:20.000 If you're a proud American, then you're their enemy.

01:44:24.000 Don Lemon says he wants everyone to see him as a black man.

01:44:27.000 He doesn't want people to ignore that.

01:44:29.000 And I'm like, why?

01:44:30.000 So you want to maintain being... Racial division. 0.55

01:44:33.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:44:34.000 Being a victim.

01:44:35.000 I don't understand, what do they want then?

01:44:38.000 Do they want equality or do they want to be known as someone that's different?

01:44:42.000 Preference.

01:44:43.000 What did Terry Crews say?

01:44:45.000 He said, we can't get rid of white supremacy without whites.

01:44:49.000 Otherwise we have black supremacy. 1.00

01:44:51.000 And they got mad.

01:44:52.000 Oh man.

01:44:53.000 They were mad.

01:44:54.000 But he's right.

01:44:55.000 Yeah.

01:44:55.000 Yep.

01:44:56.000 It's not equality.

01:44:57.000 We're all in this together.

01:44:58.000 That's how we finish that tweet.

01:44:59.000 They don't want equality, dude.

01:45:00.000 I know.

01:45:01.000 That's how he finished that tweet, though.

01:45:04.000 So you want black supremacy, then, if that's the case? 0.99

01:45:09.000 I want equality.

01:45:10.000 I want everyone to be treated equal.

01:45:12.000 I like that.

01:45:15.000 You can't get it if people use identity as a pretext because you will never have it.

01:45:22.000 What are we going to do?

01:45:23.000 Are we going to like, we have to create a quota where 5 foot tall women have to be in the NBA? 1.00

01:45:27.000 It's only fair.

01:45:28.000 All NBA teams now must be completely diverse.

01:45:31.000 At least one person must be under 5 feet.

01:45:34.000 At least one person must be over 6 feet.

01:45:37.000 You must have an Indian person. 1.00

01:45:40.000 You must have an Asian person. 1.00

01:45:43.000 You must have a white person, a black person, a Mexican person. 0.88

01:45:47.000 One person must be overweight.

01:45:48.000 One person must be underweight.

01:45:50.000 One person must have more muscle mass in their arms. 0.76

01:45:54.000 One person must be in a wheelchair.

01:45:54.000 We can go on.

01:45:56.000 Oh yeah.

01:45:57.000 White person optional, of course. 1.00

01:45:59.000 No, no, you gotta have one white person. 1.00

01:46:00.000 Yeah, we're talking about real diversity.

01:46:00.000 You do?

01:46:03.000 Where you try and make the sports team, like, everything.

01:46:06.000 That's what they're gonna do.

01:46:08.000 But they don't even want that, though.

01:46:10.000 No, they don't.

01:46:10.000 That's not even what they're saying.

01:46:12.000 I think a lot of these people that we see, like high-profile Black Lives Matter people, like Ice Cube, for instance, are probably followers of Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

01:46:22.000 So, when Farrakhan got banned, Snoop Dogg made an Instagram video where he was flipping out, saying, how dare you ban the minister, you know?

01:46:31.000 And then he ordered all of his, or he told all his fans, post videos of, you know, Minister Farrakhan onto Instagram so they can't do this.

01:46:38.000 You have that clip from Ice Cube.

01:46:40.000 He posted anti-Semitic art that apparently shows a bunch of Jews playing Monopoly with like black people under the board.

01:46:45.000 Oh yeah, I saw that.

01:46:46.000 And he got attacked for it.

01:46:48.000 And then somebody, I think it was Majid Nawaz, posted a picture of him with Farrakhan.

01:46:51.000 And they're like, what do you think these people are all about?

01:46:53.000 Like, do you realize that, like, the Women's March people were seen at his event, and they called him the greatest of all time.

01:46:59.000 They really do support this guy and his ideas, and he says a whole bunch of crazy stuff.

01:47:03.000 So I question, when they prop these people up, what they really want?

01:47:07.000 Well, just look at who they follow and who they think is the greatest of all time, and you'll get a better understanding.

01:47:12.000 I'm not saying everybody believes that stuff, but... Let's read some more of these superchats!

01:47:16.000 Superchats, if you haven't already, hit that like button.

01:47:18.000 Smash it! 0.54

01:47:18.000 Smash it. 0.54

01:47:19.000 Don't just hit it, you smash it!

01:47:21.000 Thank you.

01:47:21.000 Robert Bettle says we should invite all the Hong Kong refugees here and point them at the Wokish. Yes. Yeah

01:47:21.000 Smash, smash, smash.

01:47:21.000 Yes.

01:47:28.000 John, thanks for coming to member. Thank you Aaron. Thanks for joining. Thank you, Benjamin Cameron says can we talk

01:47:33.000 about the fact?

01:47:34.000 They took Elmer Fudd's gun away. Yeah, what what is going on?

01:47:38.000 He's a cowboy!

01:47:39.000 And Yosemite Sam.

01:47:40.000 He's a hunter!

01:47:40.000 Oh no, no, he's a hunter.

01:47:41.000 Yosemite Sam, they took his guns too.

01:47:42.000 They took his revolvers.

01:47:44.000 He would go, bang, bang, bang, and he would jump up and down.

01:47:44.000 That's what he would do.

01:47:47.000 The Simpsons has a guy who does that.

01:47:50.000 The Texan cowboy guy in The Simpsons.

01:47:52.000 He always goes, yeah!

01:47:53.000 That's firing his guns in the air.

01:47:55.000 Which is ridiculous and irresponsible, but you know.

01:47:55.000 Yep.

01:47:57.000 Right.

01:47:58.000 It's a cartoon.

01:47:59.000 My goodness.

01:48:00.000 Tronics says, all three of you.

01:48:02.000 If you could have any three superpowers, what three would you have and your biggest fear is your weakness, for example?

01:48:10.000 For example, me, I'm afraid of bees, so hearing bees would deactivate my superpowers.

01:48:15.000 Oh, your biggest fear is your weakness?

01:48:17.000 I wouldn't need to sleep anymore to re-energize.

01:48:21.000 I wouldn't need to consume anything to maintain my energy.

01:48:28.000 And I wouldn't need to breathe oxygen either.

01:48:33.000 Those three.

01:48:34.000 What's your biggest fear?

01:48:36.000 What's your weakness?

01:48:38.000 I don't know.

01:48:39.000 Giraffes.

01:48:40.000 That deactivates Adam.

01:48:42.000 Now we know.

01:48:43.000 Wow, I never knew.

01:48:44.000 Interesting, giraffes. 0.97

01:48:46.000 I'll just go with that, I'm not sure.

01:48:48.000 I can prove that Adam is scared of giraffes because one time he was walking down the stairs and I jumped out screaming at the top of my lungs while holding a picture of a giraffe and he jumped from it.

01:48:56.000 I can only assume it was because of the giraffe.

01:48:58.000 Yes.

01:48:58.000 That proves it.

01:48:59.000 Oh wow, yeah.

01:49:00.000 Yeah, fears is a tough thing.

01:49:00.000 Holy cow.

01:49:02.000 First of all, I wouldn't know what superpowers I would want at all.

01:49:05.000 I don't know.

01:49:06.000 I guess teleportation.

01:49:08.000 I don't know.

01:49:11.000 Invulnerability, I guess.

01:49:13.000 I could just try the craziest skateboard tricks and just mind my own business.

01:49:17.000 Oh, probably stopping time.

01:49:21.000 Or like slowing it or something like that.

01:49:23.000 But fears.

01:49:27.000 I don't know.

01:49:28.000 I don't have a greatest fear.

01:49:30.000 I don't.

01:49:32.000 Interesting.

01:49:33.000 Confidence.

01:49:34.000 We both have a lot of confidence.

01:49:37.000 What would make me scared?

01:49:38.000 I think one of the things about fear is that I remember growing up and what fear felt like when I was a little kid.

01:49:44.000 I don't have that feeling.

01:49:46.000 So, and it could come from being in actual conflict zones.

01:49:49.000 Maybe.

01:49:49.000 I don't know at what point I stopped experiencing it.

01:49:51.000 Maybe skateboarding took it away.

01:49:53.000 Skateboarding's dangerous, man.

01:49:54.000 I'll tell you why.

01:49:55.000 I could show you my ankles right now.

01:49:57.000 They're black and blue.

01:49:58.000 Literally dangerous.

01:49:59.000 No, no, no.

01:50:00.000 It's because at the height of my skateboarding, I would look down from a 20-foot drop and be like, I can do it.

01:50:00.000 That's not why.

01:50:06.000 I got this.

01:50:06.000 Yep.

01:50:07.000 Because I've jumped off buildings.

01:50:09.000 And it's like an ever-increasing, like, I made it last time, I can make it this time.

01:50:13.000 Yep.

01:50:13.000 I have a friend.

01:50:14.000 Or I made it at this level.

01:50:15.000 I can make it at this level.

01:50:17.000 And so your fear is gone.

01:50:17.000 Yeah.

01:50:19.000 Yeah.

01:50:19.000 So I guess I would arguably say I do have a fear in skateboarding of trying certain tricks, and that's about as close as I can get to being scared.

01:50:28.000 But the thing about skateboarding is like, today we're skating and I'm like, man, I'll try a trick and then I'll bail on it and be like, I'm just scared to do it.

01:50:35.000 But that's just... It's not fear.

01:50:35.000 Yeah.

01:50:37.000 It's like self-preservation.

01:50:38.000 It's not a fear.

01:50:39.000 Yeah.

01:50:40.000 Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

01:50:42.000 I don't know man.

01:50:43.000 What about you Lydia?

01:50:43.000 What about you?

01:50:44.000 Okay for me, I want invisibility, time travel, and the ability to read minds.

01:50:49.000 And my biggest fear is fear of failure or loss, so make of that what you will.

01:50:53.000 My nightmares are about failing at my job.

01:50:55.000 So you'd be like Green Lantern?

01:50:57.000 Yeah, something like that.

01:50:58.000 Where like when he loses his willpower and then he can't, you know, make things of the ring?

01:51:01.000 That's what it would be.

01:51:01.000 Yeah.

01:51:02.000 Yeah.

01:51:02.000 You'd be like fighting someone who would be like, you could never defeat me, you're pathetic!

01:51:05.000 And you'd be like, oh no, my powers!

01:51:06.000 No, it's not a matter of confidence.

01:51:07.000 It's a matter of actually failing.

01:51:10.000 Because in my nightmare, I always come in partway through, it's way late, and I haven't done what I'm supposed to do.

01:51:15.000 So what I'm saying is that how that would translate into your weakness is that if you start doubting yourself and believing you're gonna fail...

01:51:20.000 Or thinking that I already had.

01:51:22.000 And then suddenly you'll have a bunch of people like in Yu-Gi-Oh!, how all the dudes would always stand behind him like, you can do it, Yu-Gi!

01:51:22.000 Yeah.

01:51:22.000 Oh, yeah.

01:51:28.000 And that's what you'd have.

01:51:28.000 Yes!

01:51:29.000 They'd be like, go Lydia, we believe in you!

01:51:30.000 Yeah, I need you guys to be my yes men.

01:51:31.000 And they'd be like, my powers are returning!

01:51:33.000 A series of yes men.

01:51:33.000 Yes!

01:51:34.000 My hype guys, yeah.

01:51:36.000 Yeah, it's you guys, you're hired.

01:51:37.000 There you go.

01:51:38.000 Yes, Manda, anyway.

01:51:38.000 No, I don't.

01:51:39.000 Come on.

01:51:40.000 Need your help.

01:51:40.000 Yes.

01:51:41.000 No, I'm too.

01:51:42.000 My friends in New York have coined a phrase, honest a-hole, because I'm blunt.

01:51:49.000 I'm straight up.

01:51:50.000 I'm honest.

01:51:52.000 I don't care if you like what I'm saying or not.

01:51:54.000 I'm going to give you my honest opinion.

01:51:55.000 If you think that I can do it.

01:51:57.000 If you, Adam, were to believe in me, if you thought that I could really do something, I would know I could do it.

01:52:01.000 It would be undefeatable.

01:52:01.000 I'm imagining.

01:52:03.000 Okay, you know what?

01:52:03.000 That's true.

01:52:04.000 If I gave you that, I would, that's true.

01:52:07.000 I would truly believe in you.

01:52:08.000 I'm imagining this really funny scenario.

01:52:10.000 It's like, I know you mentioned your powers, but I'm just, for the sake of the analogy, like Lydia's flying and she's got like big energy blasts about to come out of her hands and like her hair is on fire.

01:52:19.000 And then she like throws a plasma blast and then Adam's sitting there and you're like vaping like, she can't do it.

01:52:19.000 Yes.

01:52:25.000 And then all of a sudden her hair just turns to normal and she falls from the sky and then flops on the ground.

01:52:29.000 For the record, I don't vape.

01:52:31.000 I'm just kidding.

01:52:32.000 I'm just like, you're casually sitting there and you're like eating a sandwich.

01:52:36.000 That's more accurate.

01:52:37.000 She can't do it.

01:52:38.000 And then her powers are gone.

01:52:39.000 She just falls off the sky.

01:52:40.000 That's why you don't rely on other people.

01:52:42.000 And then she like flops on a rock dead. 1.00

01:52:44.000 Good times.

01:52:45.000 This is how I die.

01:52:45.000 Thank you everyone.

01:52:46.000 The worst powers ever.

01:52:48.000 Or the worst weakness.

01:52:49.000 That's funny.

01:52:51.000 Let's see, Wyatt Schultz says, It's funny to me that protesters say that the rioters are

01:52:55.000 just bad apples and don't realize that it's the same thing that the police say.

01:52:58.000 Isn't that funny how it works?

01:53:00.000 Hmm.

01:53:01.000 Stigma of the Rose says, Hey Adam, I haven't paid money for MTG since RNA, but I

01:53:05.000 play almost every day on Tabletop Simulator.

01:53:08.000 It's a great way to play Commander with any cards you want and not pay for overpriced crap.

01:53:12.000 And play banned cards.

01:53:12.000 Cool.

01:53:13.000 And also make your own extremely racist cards.

01:53:17.000 Ha ha ha ha.

01:53:19.000 Honey Badger says, John Brown Gun Club are rubes.

01:53:19.000 Yeah.

01:53:22.000 Their training is crap.

01:53:24.000 Take it from someone who has a lot of tactical training and practical application in war zones.

01:53:27.000 It's probably because the people who actually know how to do this

01:53:30.000 stuff aren't leftists.

01:53:31.000 And it's probably because people who go through this stuff understand what's

01:53:31.000 Yeah.

01:53:35.000 wrong with the leftist ideology.

01:53:37.000 Grant Lankford says from a small town in Texas, I seriously doubt a band of

01:53:37.000 Yeah.

01:53:42.000 riders from Fort Worth or Dallas would fare well in a small town in Texas.

01:53:46.000 They don't condone violence, but these people won't stand for rioters trying to destroy our businesses.

01:53:51.000 I, that's exactly what I'm thinking.

01:53:53.000 I've been saying, I'm like, they're not going to the suburbs yet.

01:53:55.000 We have yet to hear them going into the suburbs.

01:53:58.000 Oh, where?

01:53:58.000 No, they have.

01:53:59.000 In Chicago.

01:54:01.000 And what's going on in Chicago?

01:54:03.000 What do you mean?

01:54:03.000 Crazy shootouts and people dying.

01:54:06.000 Yep.

01:54:07.000 Hmm.

01:54:07.000 Yeah.

01:54:08.000 Apparently people are organizing in towns they don't live in.

01:54:10.000 Yep.

01:54:11.000 It's creepy.

01:54:12.000 It is culty, creepy, whatever.

01:54:14.000 I know.

01:54:14.000 I know a lot of people in Chicago in the burbs that are strapped.

01:54:18.000 Yep.

01:54:18.000 They're ready.

01:54:18.000 Yeah.

01:54:19.000 They're ready, man.

01:54:21.000 I know some people in the burbs, preppers, take it very seriously.

01:54:27.000 That's where the more conservative people live.

01:54:30.000 Let's see, where are we at?

01:54:31.000 Freak says, What do you think about polycentric legal systems, Tim?

01:54:35.000 There's a lot of theory about it in anarcho-capitalism, but I think it could really work out if it's not done abruptly.

01:54:41.000 I don't know anything about it, unfortunately.

01:54:43.000 Same.

01:54:45.000 Uriel says, You ask what will happen when they show up at our door with rocks and pitchforks, but what will happen when the one that answers the door is armed with a gun?

01:54:54.000 Right.

01:54:54.000 Right, right, right.

01:54:55.000 That's the point I was saying.

01:54:56.000 Like, people who live in cities and suburbs who can't protect themselves, you get dragged out in the street.

01:55:00.000 They'll tie a rope around your leg and then drag you in the back of a car.

01:55:03.000 TrueHabit says, What makes me particularly mad is when I see these videos of innocent people getting brutally attacked by the mob.

01:55:09.000 The people need to start checking them with lethal force.

01:55:14.000 I do not agree with that.

01:55:16.000 I don't like it when the mob attacks people, but we have less lethal, you know, munitions for a reason.

01:55:20.000 Because people are dumb.

01:55:22.000 And, you know, we want to avoid taking life.

01:55:24.000 But I agree they're bad people.

01:55:27.000 Ben McAdam says, Have you watched the Fall Cabal or Out of Shadows on YouTube?

01:55:31.000 I have not.

01:55:32.000 I saw Out of Shadows.

01:55:32.000 Have you guys?

01:55:34.000 Very conspiratorial.

01:55:35.000 Oh, it's like the Q thing? 0.98

01:55:37.000 Yeah, along the line.

01:55:37.000 Out of Shadows?

01:55:40.000 Like Fry, Like Fry says, these people haven't realized the beanie is watching. 0.80

01:55:43.000 Spin the UFO and make those little aliens dizzy. 1.00

01:55:45.000 Yes!

01:55:46.000 Make those little aliens dizzy. 0.99

01:55:46.000 All right! 0.99

01:55:48.000 And don't worry, Like Fry, Like Fry, I remember your beanie idea.

01:55:53.000 I'm still gonna make it happen.

01:55:54.000 I do have some bad news.

01:55:54.000 I haven't forgotten.

01:55:55.000 There are not aliens in the UFO.

01:55:57.000 There are underground U.S.

01:56:01.000 black operations technologists operating a prototype.

01:56:05.000 They're just dorky little American dudes. 0.99

01:56:06.000 And they're really, really tiny.

01:56:08.000 Very small.

01:56:08.000 And now dizzy.

01:56:10.000 VillaMusicDude says, some activist orgs say that capitalism is racist.

01:56:10.000 Yeah.

01:56:14.000 I believe slavery wasn't part of capitalism and is unfairly blamed.

01:56:17.000 Free market economics is based in voluntary exchange.

01:56:20.000 Slavery isn't voluntary, and a scar on reasoning for capitalism.

01:56:23.000 Hmm.

01:56:23.000 Yep.

01:56:24.000 That's a good point.

01:56:25.000 William Goodwin says, are you familiar with the Stanford Prison Experiment, and do you think it's applicable to the events in Seattle?

01:56:32.000 If yes, do you think that people will start turning on each other how many days?

01:56:35.000 I heard that experiment was flubbed.

01:56:37.000 It was faked, I thought.

01:56:37.000 Yeah.

01:56:38.000 Yeah.

01:56:38.000 It was faked?

01:56:39.000 I thought, yeah.

01:56:39.000 Yeah, so I guess it's not real.

01:56:41.000 And as far as them turning on each other, yeah, we're seeing that right now.

01:56:43.000 Oh, yeah, definitely.

01:56:44.000 Oh, for sure.

01:56:45.000 Have you met people?

01:56:45.000 Have you met leftists?

01:56:47.000 Seriously, anyone.

01:56:48.000 It's a human thing, I think.

01:56:50.000 Mark S says, if you get a locals page or something like that, I will sign up without a second thought.

01:56:55.000 The issue with locals is that it costs money.

01:56:58.000 And so, you know, Dave's cool.

01:57:02.000 I think there's a lot of people using that are great, but it costs money.

01:57:06.000 And so, I don't know.

01:57:07.000 I just, yeah, I haven't got around to it, I guess.

01:57:09.000 The spot says, the sad reality is that when we have a segment of the country that are 100% incapable of free thought and common sense, have also been brainwashed and indoctrinated by adults around them.

01:57:21.000 Yeah.

01:57:22.000 Zachary Evans says, do you believe any sort of politicians could be funding Antifa?

01:57:27.000 Didn't Joe Biden pay the bail for some of these rioters?

01:57:30.000 Not him per se, but his staff.

01:57:33.000 And that's not directly Antifa, but Keith Ellison held up the book.

01:57:37.000 He bought the book, therefore the money went to Antifa.

01:57:40.000 So, yeah.

01:57:41.000 But, you know, not on a grand scale.

01:57:42.000 We don't know about that.

01:57:44.000 Most left don't realize that Trump is the wall that holds his supporters back from ending all this.

01:57:57.000 If the Dem win and Trump ever quits, barricade yourself because the gloves will come off.

01:58:01.000 I really do believe that.

01:58:03.000 And a lot of people in the media were like, can you imagine what Trump's base will do if he loses?

01:58:03.000 Yeah.

01:58:06.000 And there were pictures of like angry Trump people with pitchforks and then Trump won and then they became the

01:58:10.000 angry people with pitchforks.

01:58:12.000 The reality is true.

01:58:13.000 Nothing is holding back Antifa, but Trump is holding back his base.

01:58:17.000 And if Trump loses, look, Antifa doesn't like Biden.

01:58:21.000 Yeah.

01:58:21.000 The worst thing for this country, I think, will be if Biden wins.

01:58:24.000 Because the left hates him, and they'll take the gloves off.

01:58:26.000 And if Trump... And then the Trump support will take their gloves off, and then... Good point.

01:58:30.000 Yep.

01:58:30.000 There it goes.

01:58:31.000 Yeah, Biden is not the right choice.

01:58:32.000 No.

01:58:33.000 He's not.

01:58:34.000 But I guess even if Trump wins, the left is going to go insane.

01:58:36.000 So... The left is insane, too.

01:58:36.000 Mm-hmm.

01:58:38.000 Yeah, let's just... No, but I mean like... Already.

01:58:40.000 They're going to snap.

01:58:41.000 Yeah.

01:58:42.000 It's going to be like... And they're going to be running around... They're going to riot?

01:58:46.000 Yep.

01:58:47.000 Joe Ganji says, NASCAR has called to have all confederate flags taken and no one to fly them during races.

01:58:53.000 What is going on?

01:58:54.000 Enjoy the three of you with your uncensored work you do.

01:58:56.000 Thanks.

01:58:57.000 It's called a culture revolution and they are getting rid of undesirables.

01:59:01.000 Eventually it'll become physical.

01:59:02.000 They're calling to change all the, uh, the army bases.

01:59:02.000 Yeah.

01:59:06.000 Yeah.

01:59:06.000 Well, Trump said no.

01:59:07.000 Trump was like, sorry.

01:59:09.000 No, actually he didn't say sorry.

01:59:10.000 He said no.

01:59:12.000 Yeah.

01:59:12.000 Period.

01:59:13.000 Jackson Wang says, during Cultural Revolution, Grandma was paraded around, people spit through food and feces in rocks, then buried her neck deep, forced her to watch a neighbor dump buckets of feces on my mom, only 10 at the time.

01:59:25.000 Do not wish that on anyone.

01:59:27.000 Wow.

01:59:27.000 Yikes, man.

01:59:28.000 That's messed up.

01:59:29.000 Not good.

01:59:30.000 Brandon says, first subject ever.

01:59:32.000 Love y'all's work.

01:59:33.000 There was a damn Zoom call where one guy said it was good Biden was being kept in the basement.

01:59:38.000 Also, statues of Columbus are being taken down now.

01:59:41.000 Yup.

01:59:42.000 Culture revolution, baby.

01:59:43.000 Jacob Shank says, you're describing preferential voting.

01:59:47.000 This is what Australia uses. 0.92

01:59:48.000 It lets you vote for the party you want to come last.

01:59:52.000 Kind of an inversion of the first past the post.

01:59:55.000 But you also vote for party and the party chooses like the prime minister or something.

01:59:59.000 Here we go.

02:00:00.000 Joe John says, I am 59.

02:00:03.000 I saw Vietnam live on TV.

02:00:04.000 This race war has been there. 0.90

02:00:06.000 I am racist by association.

02:00:08.000 I grew up in Minneapolis and races were divided by street addresses.

02:00:11.000 Cognitive dissonance.

02:00:13.000 Check my attitude at the door.

02:00:14.000 PTSD.

02:00:15.000 Thanks, man.

02:00:16.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

02:00:17.000 We got, uh, I just passed one up that we must get to.

02:00:21.000 I am scrolling up because this is YouTube and, wow, we got too many superchats.

02:00:24.000 Thank you, everybody.

02:00:25.000 VillaMusicDude says, thoughts on systemic racism.

02:00:28.000 Some statistics studies show first, second generation immigrant black populations versus American black populations.

02:00:33.000 Immigrant population outperform spending habits, family cohesion, education, wealth, and home ownership. 1.00

02:00:38.000 How do you reconcile?

02:00:40.000 Um, well, I think that when you have a group of people who come from, like, look, slavery ended. 1.00

02:00:49.000 And then you have the people who just left slavery, have no education, limited, or limited access, they have no money, what do they do?

02:00:58.000 And they slowly start building up from there, but they're in a society that already has families with generational wealth, not every single person.

02:01:04.000 When immigrants come, they do have the family tradition and culture from their previous country that didn't, in the past few generations, come from absolutely nothing. 0.99

02:01:13.000 Not everybody.

02:01:14.000 Ultimately, I think, there is an argument to be made about helping to repair generational damage.

02:01:20.000 The only problem is the solutions they're offering are surface level that won't actually address anything.

02:01:23.000 They also target people based on race, which ultimately I think will not work, because how do you actually track back who deserves what and who has to pay it?

02:01:30.000 So if the argument is you think that, you know, the people who are slaves should get paid reparations, I would say here, here, yes.

02:01:36.000 Go find all of those Confederates and make them pay for it, because we're the country, you know, we won. 0.82

02:01:41.000 The Union won.

02:01:42.000 We were the ones who paid and fought to end slavery.

02:01:44.000 So why would we pay now after we already sacrificed everything?

02:01:48.000 That's why the argument doesn't work.

02:01:50.000 I do think, though, the generational wealth gap creates ghettos and poverty, and there is systemic racism.

02:01:56.000 So...

02:01:57.000 If you look at how civil rights ended, and it's only been, it's not even been 100 years, it's been decades, you have places in Seattle that still have remnants of it.

02:02:06.000 We've certainly passed laws and said you can't do this anymore, but there are still remnants of, you know, like, the easiest example, I guess, is how St.

02:02:15.000 Louis is made up of, like, 90 different cities.

02:02:18.000 And I did a documentary on this.

02:02:20.000 What'll happen is, they call it going on tour.

02:02:22.000 If you have an expired license plate because you're poor and you can't afford the $20, you gotta make a choice.

02:02:27.000 Eat food, pay for your registration again.

02:02:30.000 Maybe it's $20, maybe it's $50.

02:02:32.000 You need the car to go to work.

02:02:33.000 When these people go to work and they decide to eat instead of, you know, renewing their plates, they drive through three or four jurisdictions where they get pulled over in each one, get a ticket for the same thing in each one, and then when they get arrested because they can't pay the ticket either, they go to jail.

02:02:48.000 It's usually a couple days in jail because it's a small fine.

02:02:51.000 When they get released, the next jurisdiction is waiting to pick them up and bring them to the next police department.

02:02:56.000 So if you have a group of people that have been, you know, starting from very little and lack the resources to actually deal with these normal institutions, and then you have all of these jurisdictions, it creates problems.

02:03:08.000 Now, I think the problem is class.

02:03:11.000 I don't think it's race.

02:03:12.000 There are certainly racial aspects to it.

02:03:14.000 If we can solve the class problems, everyone's happy.

02:03:17.000 There are more poor white people in this country than poor black people and poor Latinos. 0.88

02:03:22.000 But there are bad things in our past that we should figure out how to fix, and you don't do it by telling people it had nothing to do with one thing, to pay for people, and that won't solve anything.

02:03:32.000 You do it through education and I guess proper appropriation of tax revenue towards certain areas and it takes a long time.

02:03:43.000 It's not going to be a simple solution.

02:03:44.000 What they're doing now, in my opinion, isn't the answer because they're doing the opposite.

02:03:47.000 They're telling universities that you can ban people based on their race.

02:03:51.000 You're creating more of this problem and it's not going to solve anything.

02:03:54.000 And when you try to point out class as the issue, they call you a racist and they say you're blind.

02:03:58.000 There you go!

02:03:59.000 Little rant on systemic racism or whatever.

02:04:01.000 We'll read a couple more superchats, but we're getting close to bedtime, just so you guys know.

02:04:05.000 So if you haven't already, smash the like button.

02:04:07.000 Smash that like button! 0.98

02:04:09.000 Make sure to follow all of us at TimCast, at AdamKrigler, and at SourPatchLids.

02:04:13.000 Yeah!

02:04:13.000 And follow me!

02:04:15.000 Aaron M. says, Tim & Co, have you guys watched Ben Shapiro's debunking systemic racism explained video?

02:04:21.000 If not, maybe do, and would love your commentary on it.

02:04:24.000 I will check that out, because... I haven't seen it.

02:04:26.000 So, I've explained these issues to a lot of people, having actually looked into St.

02:04:32.000 Louis.

02:04:33.000 But also, come on.

02:04:35.000 Chicago created something called redlining.

02:04:37.000 They literally would not allow certain people of certain races to move to certain areas.

02:04:40.000 That was created in Chicago?

02:04:41.000 Yes.

02:04:42.000 Oh, I didn't know that was a Chicago thing.

02:04:43.000 Yes.

02:04:44.000 There's also something called blockbusting.

02:04:46.000 Let me tell you about systemic racism.

02:04:48.000 First of all, You need to understand institutional racism.

02:04:52.000 The problem with both of these concepts is that the left, when they explain it, they give you wacky nonsensical answers and call you a bigot.

02:04:58.000 They also don't like talking about it.

02:05:00.000 Institutional racism, the best example, is how the housing market is racist.

02:05:05.000 Yeah, so I don't know if it still persists to this day, but I do know that for the longest time

02:05:05.000 Did you know that?

02:05:10.000 Real real estate companies would exploit the fact that if a black family moved into a white neighborhood it would drive 1.00

02:05:16.000 down property value That was a fact because it wasn't that any of these

02:05:20.000 individuals in these houses were racist It was that there was an expectation

02:05:24.000 That this of this this family moving in would be bad for prices and no one would want to live there

02:05:29.000 And so it was the assumption that other people were racist which created this problem

02:05:32.000 Which is another reason why I don't like how the left is making everything about race. It sounds like the original Karens

02:05:38.000 Think about it this way.

02:05:39.000 Right now, they are telling you that everything is about race.

02:05:43.000 So now, because of the assumption that white people are racist, people are going to be scared that if a black or brown person moves into their neighborhood, well, if white people are racist, then white people won't want to buy my house, so I can't sell it, so the price will go down, so people panic.

02:05:57.000 That fake, insane view creates the institutional problem.

02:06:02.000 So I explain this to this very lefty friend of mine.

02:06:05.000 She was an SJW.

02:06:06.000 She owned property in New York.

02:06:07.000 I said, let me ask you a question.

02:06:09.000 If a black family moved next to you, what would you do? 0.95

02:06:12.000 And she goes, oh, I would sell.

02:06:13.000 And I laughed.

02:06:14.000 And I'm like, wow, seriously?

02:06:15.000 Absolutely.

02:06:16.000 And she goes, because my property value would go down.

02:06:16.000 And I said, why?

02:06:18.000 And I'm like, are you?

02:06:19.000 And she was like, but I'm not racist.

02:06:21.000 And I was like, you realize that view of what's going to happen is part of the problem.

02:06:26.000 Now, here's what ends up happening.

02:06:28.000 Blockbusting was when they would do it in a variety of ways.

02:06:32.000 Real estate companies would go to a white area, buy a house.

02:06:35.000 Then they would move in a black family for low rent or something. 0.98

02:06:38.000 And then go around to all the houses saying, do you see what's happening?

02:06:42.000 You better sell to us before it's too late.

02:06:44.000 they would buy the house up for a premium because they'd say, OK, quit.

02:06:44.000 Yeah.

02:06:48.000 I'll sell. I'll sell. Just tell me what you want.

02:06:50.000 Yeah. And then they would move the black family out and resell them to white 1.00

02:06:52.000 families for the original price.

02:06:53.000 That was called blockbusting.

02:06:55.000 These things happen. They exist.

02:06:57.000 And it's only ended in the 80s.

02:06:59.000 It's like depending on where you live, these things can still be happening.

02:07:02.000 So the bigger the biggest problem I have is these these things are problems and

02:07:08.000 there is no magic bullet.

02:07:10.000 There is no legislative solution other than banning the practice.

02:07:12.000 But if people still have this in their minds, what do you do?

02:07:15.000 Well, I'll tell you what you don't do.

02:07:16.000 You make them sit in Bethesda, Maryland, in a park, raising their hands, worshiping the sky while they chant mindlessly, because that makes everything worse.

02:07:23.000 Or including it in a video game that a 90-year-old plays.

02:07:26.000 Makes everything worse.

02:07:27.000 They are exacerbating racial identity issues.

02:07:30.000 Absolutely.

02:07:31.000 Maybe the best thing to do is to let people heal.

02:07:34.000 Could you imagine, you know, I often think about this when people get injured and

02:07:38.000 they keep touching and poking and prodding at the wound because they're like, you

02:07:42.000 know, it's like the family guy joke where they're, they're all complaining about

02:07:45.000 things to city hall and then, and then one guy randomly goes, I got a canker sore

02:07:49.000 in my mouth and I keep poking it with my tongue, but that's just making it worse.

02:07:51.000 It's like, stop doing that.

02:07:54.000 Just give it time to heal.

02:07:55.000 Slow down.

02:07:57.000 Maybe there isn't something you can do.

02:07:59.000 Well, right now we got a wound and they're just whacking at it and it's not healing because they keep making it worse.

02:08:04.000 I'm not gonna pretend to know all the answers though, so...

02:08:07.000 I'll leave it there, and I will check out Ben Shapiro's video, and I will, you know, see what I have to say about it.

02:08:13.000 We have a couple more Super Chats I will read.

02:08:15.000 St.

02:08:15.000 Miles says, after listening to you folks talk, my whiskey tastes sweeter and I calm down.

02:08:19.000 Love the uncensored talk in the chats.

02:08:21.000 Real people talking honest thoughts.

02:08:22.000 Thank you.

02:08:23.000 Appreciate it.

02:08:23.000 That's great.

02:08:24.000 Yeah, I agree.

02:08:25.000 Chat's awesome.

02:08:26.000 Yeah.

02:08:27.000 Jared Paquette says, defunding the police is also important because so many are in the pockets of those who think they're above the law.

02:08:34.000 I think there is a discussion around demilitarizing and improving and reforming.

02:08:40.000 And most people think reform is a good idea.

02:08:42.000 I agree with it, for sure.

02:08:43.000 Yeah.

02:08:44.000 And that's just like, we do that all the time.

02:08:46.000 Our country does it all the time.

02:08:47.000 That's normal stuff in this country.

02:08:48.000 But they hate it.

02:08:49.000 The amendments.

02:08:50.000 I know.

02:08:50.000 Are reform.

02:08:51.000 Yep.

02:08:52.000 And they hate it, they say, reform never worked.

02:08:54.000 What do you mean?

02:08:54.000 It literally worked every single time we've had a problem.

02:08:57.000 We've like sat down, there's been some protests, and then we've changed it.

02:09:01.000 Yep.

02:09:02.000 No, but they're like, we have to riot.

02:09:05.000 Val Eris says, Hey you three smart people, search for a name.

02:09:09.000 Tony Timpa.

02:09:10.000 See if you spot anything surprising.

02:09:11.000 It is quite alarming by the way.

02:09:13.000 Oh, I've seen it.

02:09:13.000 Yeah, I've seen it too.

02:09:13.000 Cheers.

02:09:14.000 Yeah, of course.

02:09:16.000 And I was talking to a friend of mine who was like very pro Black Lives Matter.

02:09:19.000 And at the core, like the legit activists, I agree.

02:09:22.000 Like, I think DeRay McKesson, the stuff I've seen from him, he's like a very, he's like the most prominent.

02:09:26.000 He's a good dude.

02:09:26.000 I think he's talking about police reform.

02:09:28.000 And I think he makes a lot of sense.

02:09:29.000 And I think there are a lot of bad actors that are exploiting it, notably Antifa.

02:09:32.000 Definitely.

02:09:32.000 But I asked a friend of mine, who was very adamantly pro-Black Lives Matter, I said, can you name how many unarmed black people were killed by cops last year?

02:09:39.000 You know what the answer was?

02:09:41.000 How many?

02:09:42.000 No.

02:09:43.000 The answer was no.

02:09:44.000 Yeah.

02:09:44.000 And I was like, so what are you doing?

02:09:47.000 Why are you posting these things if you don't even know yourself?

02:09:50.000 Exactly.

02:09:51.000 I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just saying, if you can't tell me, then how do you think you're going to convince me?

02:09:56.000 They don't know anything.

02:09:57.000 They don't.

02:09:58.000 They see the Instagram posts and they're like, yay!

02:10:00.000 And then Netflix sees it and goes, we're gonna put a thing, and then everyone just does it and it makes no sense.

02:10:04.000 It's an echo chamber of virtue signals.

02:10:06.000 Yep.

02:10:07.000 It just keeps getting louder and louder and louder.

02:10:09.000 It's Jerry Smith all shaking their hands.

02:10:12.000 It's all of these lefties being like, I'm virtuous!

02:10:14.000 High five!

02:10:15.000 High five!

02:10:16.000 Meanwhile, the poor people in the gutter go like, what are they doing?

02:10:18.000 They're not helping us.

02:10:19.000 They're not helping us at all.

02:10:21.000 They're not solving anything either.

02:10:23.000 Yeah.

02:10:23.000 All right, last super chat. Palmer Wood says, have you heard the stuff about all donations to the BLM

02:10:28.000 website going to Biden's campaign via ActBlue? I don't believe it's going to Biden's campaign,

02:10:33.000 but ActBlue is like a progressive fundraising arm. And then the Republicans have

02:10:37.000 WinRed.

02:10:38.000 Actually, someone hit me up earlier today about, because you can go to ActBlue and see where the

02:10:43.000 money goes.

02:10:44.000 Bernie got like $160 million from them.

02:10:47.000 From what?

02:10:48.000 From ActBlue.

02:10:49.000 The ActBlue campaign donations.

02:10:52.000 Because when you donate to Bernie, you go to the ActBlue website.

02:10:55.000 It's a centralized donation system.

02:10:58.000 And Republicans have win-red.

02:11:01.000 Biden was second on the list, like $140 million.

02:11:04.000 Wow.

02:11:04.000 I mean, his fundraising has been relatively close to Trump's, but Trump's still winning.

02:11:08.000 Yeah.

02:11:08.000 We'll see.

02:11:08.000 We'll see how things go, man.

02:11:10.000 Will the secret Trump voters vote for Trump in November?

02:11:13.000 Will the world end?

02:11:14.000 We will see.
