In this episode of the TimCast, we discuss the latest conspiracy theory: World War III is actually happening, and it's actually not as crazy as everyone has been making it out to be. Plus, we talk about a cruise ship attack on a Venezuelan vessel and why we should be worried about it.
00:01:02.000But I remember that happening in like 2014 or something and people are like, oh man, World War III, because Iran's going to retaliate and then nothing happens.
00:01:09.000And then, you know, then you have this recent thing where, you know, Iraq and Suleimani and everyone's like, oh, World War III and then nothing happens.

00:05:05.000I'm going to walk through a bunch of stuff.
00:05:06.000We've got South China Sea, we've got travel advisories, we've got Iran, we've got Venezuela.
00:05:10.000Check out this story from the Washington Free Beacon.
00:05:11.000A Venezuelan Navy vessel opened fire on a German cruise ship but sank after it sustained severe damages while ramming the luxury liner on Monday morning.
00:05:21.000The RCGS Resolute, a 123-meter-long cruise ship equipped with four polar expeditions, was performing routine maintenance in international waters off the coast of Venezuela on Monday, according to a statement by Columbia Cruise Services, which manages the ship.
00:05:36.000Soon, a Venezuelan patrol boat approached, demanded the ship divert its course to a Venezuelan port.
00:05:42.000The patrol boat then opened fire on the Resolute and repeatedly rammed it.
00:05:46.000The Resolute has a reinforced hull built to survive in Arctic conditions, and sustained only minor damages in the encounter.
00:05:53.000The same could not be said for its aggressor.
00:06:20.000Right now you've got, you know, apparently Trump contacted Saudi Arabia and Russia and said, you know, shut down oil production because the oil prices are getting too low.
00:09:16.000It's like, that attitude that those people have, what do you think Russia, when they see that, what do you think they think?
00:09:23.000You know, they're like, oh wow, they're knocking Trump, who said it's a good thing, we're trying to help, and they're like, they're making fun of us?
00:09:31.000They're saying that we're against them?
00:09:33.000It's kinda like, I mean, I don't know any Russians, I don't know what the atmosphere is between us right now, but it's like, all I know is that they're sending us help, and that's nice.
00:09:43.000See, it's important context because I'm not trying to sit here and legitimately say we can confirm something like World War III or make an international conflict.
00:09:51.000I'm just saying, like I said, it's easy to pull up these stories and if you forget to mention Russia sending us aid, if you forget to mention that Trump has recently said, you know, we're going to work with China to some certain degree, then, you know, it sounds like things are getting worse.
00:10:05.000But I still think it's important to highlight stuff like this.
00:10:07.000If Venezuela, so apparently they were trying to ram this cruise ship to force it into Venezuelan waters.
00:10:13.000Now, Venezuela is claiming that the ship had mercenaries on it.
00:10:53.000Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Navy ships are being moved toward Venezuela as his administration beefs up counter-narcotics operations in the Caribbean following U.S.
00:11:01.000drug indictments against Nicolas Maduro.
00:11:04.000The announcement came at the start of the daily White House press briefing to discuss the coronavirus pandemic, which has left much of the country in lockdown.
00:11:37.000It is fair to say, them going after Maduro for drugs, when Venezuela no longer has access to valuable oil, or I should say, their valuable oil isn't valuable anymore, What else can they create that has been smuggled up for a long time?
00:12:24.000Russia shut down and unexpectedly cancelled Aeroflot Flight 102.
00:12:30.000The government of the Russian Federation ordered the immediate suspension of all international flights without warning until further notice.
00:12:37.000Man, that's... This is... You showed me earlier.
00:12:40.000Like, this is... This is oppressing, man.
00:14:12.000What I'm saying is, it's the simple solution.
00:14:15.000There's no other reason, like, on the surface, it makes the most sense that they're instructing people to come back because flights are being canceled now.
00:15:35.000So how does the government, the United States government, get all the manufacturing back, secure its borders, and bring all its citizens back in one month?
00:15:43.000Well, also starting up all these factories creating medicines that are keeping, like, I don't know.
00:17:04.000They say it's a distraction from the pandemic.
00:17:07.000They say, you know, like, why is Trump securing our borders and, you know, bringing people back?
00:17:11.000It's just more of his xenophobic nationalism.
00:17:14.000The argument from a lot of people has always been that the things Trump is doing doesn't specifically relate to the coronavirus.
00:17:20.000And so in that sense, the people who have criticized Trump's actions as though they don't matter, they would be making the argument that it is not a simple solution that these things are related to the coronavirus.
00:17:29.000You know, and you kind of made a point earlier about these media people that are good with specific areas.
00:17:35.000You know, I know this section of the world.
00:18:47.000And even Canada and Europe and people are fighting over resources.
00:18:51.000So at the very least, here's what I could say.
00:18:54.000Maybe there's, you know, I was speculating and getting a bit conspiratorial as if this is all part of a plot to, you know, build up America's defenses before war starts.
00:19:03.000The reality is the pandemic is happening.
00:19:31.000Canada doesn't have the resources, they start freaking out.
00:19:33.000Other countries don't have resources, they freak out.
00:19:35.000And when someone's backed in a corner and is, look, man, if someone's starving, I'll tell you what, they're not gonna sit there on their knees begging you for bread, they're gonna take it.
00:19:42.000I mean, they are our allies, so it's... Well, it's America Jr.
00:20:46.000In 2019, the Financial Times reported how China's invested in Trieste on the northern
00:20:51.000Adriatic Sea and Genoa, Italy's biggest seaport, adding to a growing network of seaports.
00:20:56.000So what, they're going to shut them down?
00:20:59.000The Financial Times article states how this growing presence in Europe should provide a sobering lesson for Europe.
00:21:04.000This is because while China's trade can bring opportunities, its actions in the South China Sea prove it isn't always the friendliest partner.
00:21:11.000So right now, it's not just about the trade routes and the conflict, the lasering of our planes.
00:21:16.000Why is the FBI going around arresting collaborators of China?
00:21:24.000Numerous professors have been, there's an investigation going on from the FBI targeting these professors, and not just them, other people, and they found that numerous professors were taking cash from China and did not disclose it.
00:21:36.000In fact, one of them, I think, lied to the feds and said I wasn't getting paid.
00:24:37.000It's like, oh yeah, by the way, we've been working on that with scientists.
00:24:40.000This is what scares me about World War III.
00:24:45.000A lot of people have said, mad, mutually assured destruction, guarantees, we wouldn't see that kind of conflict, right?
00:24:52.000Let's say we go to war and it's Russia and China, and then we storm the beaches of Hong Kong, greeted as liberators, and we charge in, and we're sweeping through the land, and Xi Jinping is getting cornered in his room.
00:25:04.000it's not gonna be like Hitler or Nazi Germany where he, you know, put a bullet in his head
00:26:14.000Trump kept saying, we're going to reopen things, it's not a big deal.
00:26:17.000When Trump came out and said, this is going to be the roughest couple of weeks our nation has ever faced.
00:26:21.000I mean, he said today though, that it, you know, it's, it's bad, but we're going to get through this.
00:26:26.000It's, you know, it was kind of like, it felt like a couple of weeks ago, not like the last, the past few days where he's like, this is going to get bad.
00:26:35.000You know, I didn't realize that, I guess subconsciously, when you look to the president and he acts like he doesn't care, it really does affect you.
00:29:02.000And they save us from a lot of them, actually.
00:29:04.000Think about that vast open space in the ocean.
00:29:07.000Yeah, I could imagine there may be some virus somewhere, but the idea that it's all up in the air and he's swimming through it so they have to arrest him?
00:29:13.000Just because the waves are like hitting the rocks and splashing him in the air?
00:30:40.000But would, does any American think in their, like, are, is anyone of you at home right now thinking like, well, it's just a matter of time until America gets attacked?
00:30:48.000It's, it's, it's not even a part of our, our daily, no one thinks at any point anyone is going to go after an aircraft carrier.
00:33:10.000Kyle Buchanan says, I talked to my sister about the TP shortage and her response was everyone is stuck in their home so they have to eat their own cooking.
00:33:18.000Kyle says, Tim, if we did go to war, we are safe.
00:33:21.000There is more explosive ordnance in Oklahoma than most of the world's militaries have.
00:33:29.000All of the urban liberals who started running to these gun shops for the first time, never realizing why they might need a weapon, I'm not saying I know for a fact a war is coming.
00:33:38.000I'm just more worried about it than I've ever been.
00:33:40.000Not because I think it's very, very likely, but I think we're closer than we've ever been.
00:33:43.000Well, this is, everybody has a little bit of a feeling of it.
00:34:04.000But you try and make your way through the middle of the country and there's going to be like a little old lady and she's going to be like, oh, where's that?
00:36:10.000Maybe the reason they're going after the individual paddle boat boarding is because the opportunity of one saboteur to be carrying something or to go somewhere, who knows?
00:36:45.000Keep an eye out for like if one of these ships Trump sends all of it sends all of a sudden gets attacked and blown up and Americans are sinking and stuff like that.
00:37:37.000And one day we'll see a bunch of hovercrafts floating around and like dudes in armored jump jet suits and they can fly and they've got like lasers on their, you know, plasma.
00:37:45.000Oh yeah, those were revealed in World War III.
00:38:06.000I heard that the reason they did it, I don't know if there's an apocryphal or conspiracy theory, but I read that Japan was ready to surrender, but the US military wanted a guaranteed deterrent to remind everybody of our power.
00:38:20.000And so they were like, let's not entertain any potential surrenders and just do it.
00:38:26.000Yeah, and there have been some people, like I think it was Iran who said the U.S.
00:38:28.000should give away all of its nuclear weapons because it's the only country who's ever used them, against civilians no less.
00:38:36.000I'm hoping that whatever we've developed since the Cold War, the arms race, is more focused.
00:38:45.000But you know a lot of people don't realize the power of nuclear weapons.
00:38:48.000Did you know that a modern nuclear device, ICBM, is 1,250 times more powerful?
00:38:57.000There's something called a MIRV, a Multiple Independently Targeting Reentry Vehicle.
00:39:01.000It can carry, I think it's like 8 to 12 warheads.
00:39:04.000A single ICBM launches into the stratosphere, and then, and they all come down, and they can go doof doof doof doof along the eastern seaboard, or whatever country.
00:39:14.000And you thought, one, you know, megaton bomb.
00:39:19.000I think it was a gravity bomb, which means they just drop it.
00:39:22.000But they had it at like a quarter capacity, and the shockwave was so powerful, that when they turned around, the plane fell from the sky two kilometers before being able to catch itself, because it was in the shockwave.
00:39:32.000Yeah, the weapons we've made since then are scary.
00:39:35.000Like, this planet's gonna get torn to shreds.
00:41:02.000If people feel like the system is broken, they're gonna be like... If these doctors or nurses feel like their life is threatened, they'll leave.
00:41:10.000You gotta secure your own mask before securing the mask of the person sitting next to you.
00:41:13.000And it feels like they already feel that way.
00:44:01.000If aliens came to earth and it was a strategic military attack, they would just be like, okay, we've targeted all of their oil production sites.
00:44:22.000Justin O'Toole says, is it plausible that a black op was operating from this reinforced cruise ship doing maintenance in open waters instead of a port or a dry dock?
00:44:29.000That's what Venezuela's trying to claim, that mercenaries were on board and they were planning some kind of... You know what it could have been?
00:44:35.000Even if it was true, how would they know?
00:45:33.000We are so short-staffed, some offices can't service all home- service all home every day, so you might have to deal with the mail delivery every other day.
00:47:24.000It's not it's not just that it's like.
00:47:26.000I have seen people who are older, and when they get close to the point where they finally pass, they seem to be kind of okay, and the decline just goes exponentially faster and faster and faster.
00:47:41.000His debate a couple weeks ago, where he's on stage muttering and mumbling, versus him sitting in his room, face all red, struggling to speak, was very different.
00:48:22.000I have no idea what you're talking about, because I was one of, like, compared to the rest of the media, I was the one consistently telling people to take it seriously, and then I think it's gonna get really bad.
00:48:32.000Did you not get the vibe that we were trying to prepare everyone?
00:48:38.000Maybe it was all of the commercials for emergency food that I did that made him think that I was telling people it's not a big deal and to ignore it.
00:49:43.000schools are still open it's kind of weird it's kind of weird it's like they have this really uncanny way of just staying true and maintaining through wars there's a delay though i know that's true and you know i i hope it doesn't hit crazy but i mean i know people there and it's it seems like it's just okay The Dashing Rogue says, Russia is not our friends.
00:50:07.000Look up the Foundation of Geopolitics by Alexander Dugin, in which he encourages using Afro-American racist and separatist groups within the United States to sow discord.
00:50:15.000The Cool Core says, with cis studying abroad, father working out of country, it's just my mom out of work cause hairstyler, and me, I'm still working from home, thankfully.
00:51:03.000Alright, make sure you hit the like button if you haven't yet, and subscribe if you want to get in the Super Chats, do so.
00:51:08.000But I have to say, we have very many viewers, which makes it increasingly more difficult to go through all the Super Chats, so I'm going to start speeding up.
00:51:16.000I'm sorry if I can't get to your Super Chat, but we have 14,000 people listening.
00:52:29.000Chris says, did you see the story regarding Florida resident Hexin Zhang proudly filmed herself buying large amounts of PPE to be sent back to China on Twitter?
00:52:38.000You know, I actually have people tweeting at me from Costa Rica, other South, many different countries that are saying that exact same thing that they were like, look, thank you for helping us prepare.
00:52:51.000And by the way, I definitely was at the store and I saw they were telling me that Sorry, we sold all of this stuff that you're looking for to this Chinese person and they bought everything.
00:53:03.000And then they went to three or four different places.
00:53:05.000I mean, I'm hearing this from multiple people from all over the world.
00:53:09.000In January, China instructed citizens working in other countries to start buying up as much medical equipment as possible and sending it back to China.
00:55:44.000My general understanding is that Crowder said This woman was trying to divorce her husband, had been abusive towards him, and then she was a Democratic donor, not a Trump supporter, hated the guy, posted negative things about him on social media, and then all of a sudden they both trusted Trump and drank fish tank cleaner or whatever.
00:56:03.000And so I guess what he's getting at, I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth and I don't want to get sued, so I'll just say it sounds like the story may be, Yeah.
00:57:49.000HandyRedneck says, Canada PM sent tons of medical gear to China, leaving Canada without, and now Trudeau's mad that we're taking ours back.
00:58:49.000Nanyabiz says 3M's CEO is also treasurer for University of Minnesota, a college with a CCP-backed branch with heavy revenue dependence from Chinese nationals.
00:58:59.000Something to look into given how much they are kicking back against helping the USA.
00:59:03.000Doug says, The thing about the paddle boarder, if that guy starts to drown, that on-duty lifeguard has to rescue him and give him mouth-to-mouth.
00:59:10.000If the dude's got the CCP cough, that's 100% transmission.
00:59:14.000And another point I made too is, if this guy starts doing it and other people start coming thinking they can as well, then the beach gets overwhelmed, so they try to nip the bud before it gets too crazy.
01:00:47.000I just slipped because we switched how we were posting things and then I forgot to post them and I was like, oh man, I gotta keep posting them.
01:01:22.000ILikeFry again says, thank you for keeping us informed.
01:01:24.000I keep putting off my prep till I heard you guys talk about the coming corona problem, and I got ready in time for food, toilet paper, and all.
01:02:01.000Andrew says, hey Tim, Lydia, and soy Jesus.
01:02:04.000Out of y'all's professional opinion, what is the most likely scenario where multiple nations will be able to successfully invade the United States and take over our government?
01:04:05.000Trump has finally invoked the Defense Production Act to force the 3M corporation to start diverting its masks to us, both from Southeast Asia and what they produce here, to stop exporting them.
01:04:17.000Naturally, this is causing a lot of people to get really angry.
01:04:20.000We have this story from the New York Times.
01:04:21.000Trump seeks to block 3M masks exports and grab masks from its overseas customers.
01:04:26.000The move would significantly expand the American government's reach and reverse President Trump's hesitant use of the Defense Production Act.
01:07:02.000But now we can see that the pandemic might actually be substantially worse than this.
01:07:06.000It might be like New York City completely separate from the rest of New York.
01:07:11.000It's gonna be, you know, Philadelphia closes the bridge, so those in the South, you know, South Jersey suburbs of Philly are completely cut off from Philly.
01:07:30.000To what extent, you know, I don't know how this will impact relationships between the US and our allies, but we're being strained at home as well.
01:07:39.000Over in Europe, they're facing something very similar.
01:09:15.000New York announced recently that illegal immigrants will get access to the hospital system.
01:09:19.000How can we simultaneously complain that our masks are going to other countries while also claiming that people who are not citizens of our country would have access to our medical system?
01:09:38.000So yeah, so I was gaming earlier with a few of my friends, and one of them happens to be in New York.
01:09:43.000He's in Staten Island, but that's New York City.
01:09:46.000And I heard, you know, the emergency broadcast.
01:09:48.000Your phone lights up, and he's like, oh, what is this?
01:09:51.000And he reads it, and it's basically saying, if you're a medical student, if you know anything about like being a nurse, being if you're a doctor,
01:10:00.000report to your nearest hospital where we need you right now. So they're
01:10:04.000they're literally sending an alert system on all phones, all broadcasting in
01:10:29.000So you mean to tell me that Europe is fighting amongst the countries within their own union over resources and borders Even in the U.S., we got border disputes between states.
01:10:41.000Trump had to dispatch big hospital ships to L.A.
01:10:45.000and New York, and New York is like, but don't worry, non-citizens will have access to all of this health care.
01:10:52.000The first thing I'll point out, they should.
01:11:20.000You want to know what's scary, though?
01:11:21.000You want to know what's scary, though?
01:11:24.000It's really easy for me to say right now we should definitely treat non-citizens as illegal immigrants, but what happens when there's no hospitals left and there's bodies lining the streets and there's someone who's not a citizen in front of the hospital and the doctor's coming out and there's someone who is with their mom, they're gonna be like, I will end you to save my mother's life.
01:12:09.000We had the Open Borders activists for years saying, like, we should decriminalize border crossings.
01:12:14.000Doesn't every single Democratic candidate look like a moron right now when they all said in the debate stage, we will give access to health care, we will decriminalize border crossings, we'll put a moratorium on deportations?
01:12:25.000New York is launching emergency shelters, emergency hospitals.
01:12:28.000They're launching ships because we don't have the resources for this.
01:12:32.000And the entire thing Right now is that Trump has to invoke a wartime measure to seize masks that were going to be given, sold to other countries.
01:12:41.000He instructs 3M to stop exporting out these masks.
01:12:46.000We were criticizing China for doing the same thing.
01:13:02.000If Rhode Island is enforcing its borders, if Louisiana and Florida are enforcing their borders, you think the United States as a whole is not gonna enforce its borders?
01:13:20.000I used to live in New York for 17 years.
01:13:22.000And the final fight is on Liberty Island, which is the Statue of Liberty.
01:13:29.000And there was a quote on the wall right when you get in there and I was like, I read it and I was like, whoa, like that's, and I'm going to read it.
01:14:34.000They're gonna be like we can't yeah, but it's also it also goes back to you know, how bad things can really get with the hospitals doing the Talking about the do not rest the state orders.
01:14:43.000Yeah, um, I think we're heading towards a It's not going to be scapegoating.
01:14:49.000You know, people want to say it's scapegoating of like minorities or, you know, whatever.
01:14:53.000But you better damn well believe that someone's going to be with their mom or their daughter.
01:14:57.000Wait till you see some dude who's like 45.
01:15:00.000He's got, you know, 13, 14 year old daughter who's sick and coughing up blood.
01:15:03.000And then he gets to the hospital and there's someone who's not a citizen.
01:15:09.000I'm gonna be very careful how I phrase this, but I'll tell you that that dad would be like, I have no problem going to prison for the rest of my life to make sure my daughter lives.
01:15:17.000Yeah, that's every parent's hill to die on.
01:15:19.000And here's the thing, there's gonna be a lot of Americans who are gonna be like, I don't blame them, those people weren't supposed to be, you know, they came here illegally, they broke our laws, they cut the line, they displaced other people.
01:15:27.000Why are they getting that instead of an American child?
01:15:31.000As human beings, non-citizens should receive the treatment, 100%.
01:16:49.000We got pulled over, and my wife is a Swedish citizen, and we're married now, so she can live here legally, and she didn't have her passport, and they were like, are you U.S.
01:17:35.000and uh i was just like whoa like i'm still sitting in the passenger seat because it was her turn to drive at that moment so it was just like you know i'm like okay you know this is weird but she i knew she had a green card she got it in her backpack and came back around handed the guy and he was like okay all right you can go Didn't even ask me.
01:18:27.000Because I think back to like, I know I really hate making the comparisons because everyone does it, you know, Godwin's, what is it, Godwin's Law?
01:18:34.000World War II, when they were demanding papers, there was no legitimate reason for it other than they were anti-Semitic, they were racist, they were supremacists.
01:18:44.000If you take all of that ideology but tack on an actual pandemic, then everyone will agree with you and say, oh, please check their papers.
01:20:40.000You know, and I will say, before we read more, make sure you hit the like button, subscribe, hit the notification bell, follow our social media on Twitter and Instagram, because you can send suggestions to Adam on Twitter and Instagram as well, right?
01:24:35.000Even Johansson says, can't they use air ambulances to bring patients from overloaded hospitals to rural hospitals with barely any business right now?
01:25:03.000Kelly Proffitt says a week ago, Remington Arms offered New York its one million square foot plant to manufacture for NY's medical needs, and Cuomo has not responded.
01:25:11.000It is on the news constantly saying how much they need, why.
01:25:14.000I heard someone actually tweeted this at me, and they said that Cuomo doesn't want to deal with it because they produce weapons.
01:27:13.000They wheel you into a little special area, pull the curtain, and that's it.
01:27:17.000No one's running around screaming, you know?
01:27:19.000So when things are hectic, and I've been in a hectic hospital, I was in a bed and they didn't have like a designated space, but it didn't seem like a movie or anything.
01:27:49.000No, people are getting admitted and they're going into their beds and then they're telling people to go home and then they have them in their bed.
01:27:53.000So unless you're literally walking into the ICU, which you are not at this point, you're going to be a visitor, you're a guest, you're not going into the ICU, you will not see any kind of craziness.
01:28:02.000You probably won't see a COVID patient at all.
01:28:04.000I also think the easiest way to explain this is thanks to Project Veritas, who got their video taken down by Facebook and have been smeared by the media, because they actually showed some hospitals are not overloaded, and the staff are like, I don't think it's a big deal, and some are saying it's a big deal, people are dying.
01:28:59.000I saw a ton of comments from people saying, you need to understand some areas of Manhattan, of New York are getting hit really hard and some aren't.
01:29:05.000Isn't that why the video got taken down?
01:29:07.000It got taken down because a National Guardsman said that he didn't think it was, uh, he said something like it was not, it was, it was like the flu.
01:29:15.000So Facebook was like, misinformation delete.
01:29:18.000It's like, a National Guard guy said that, dude, you can't, you know.
01:29:20.000That's an offhand opinion from someone who does not work in the field.
01:29:23.000And James literally says in the video, he's like, we're not telling you what to believe, we're not pushing an agenda, we're just literally telling you exactly what was said.
01:29:32.000CNN writes that they were goading them into saying it.
01:31:13.000Steven A says, my friend is undergoing state police training and they are being graduated three months early due to many state and local officers being sick with COVID.
01:32:44.000Some random person can go up and knock, you know, you put your ballot in the mail, and what if some dumb kid throws a cherry bomb in the mailbox?
01:33:50.000The Guardian reports, broadband engineers threatened due to 5G coronavirus conspiracies.
01:33:56.000EE suspects telephone mast engulfed by fire in Birmingham was an arson attack as celebrities claim COVID-19 caused by new network.
01:34:06.000I have heard so many conspiracy theories about 5G, and it's the strangest thing to me because people say the same things every time a new radio frequency technology comes out, I know, because I've been dealing with these technologies for the past decade.
01:35:34.000The Guardian says, Telecom's engineers are facing verbal and physical threats during the lockdown, as baseless conspiracy theories linking coronavirus to the rollout of 5G technology spread by celebrities such as Amanda Holden prompt members of the public to abuse those maintaining vital mobile phone and broadband networks.
01:35:54.000See, already a celebrity, I have no idea who it is.
01:36:08.000With some, Luddites, with some contributors seemingly under the pretense that it may stop the spread of coronavirus and some running leaderboards of where equipment had been targeted.
01:36:57.000I used to, there was a warehouse in Chicago I skated at.
01:37:00.000They had a bunch of antennas on the roof.
01:37:01.000And you know what the groundskeeper would say?
01:37:03.000Don't go on the roof, there's a lot of radiation.
01:37:05.000It's most it's not it's it's radio waves and stuff not supposed to be not it's it's it's not ionizing but yeah he's like trust me man it's really really powerful stuff it'll mess you up don't go up there and that's what the engineers were saying yeah I saw that's kind of in line with what I was about to say I saw this video I think it was someone in Russia was it looked like they were on like maybe the 12th floor right by the window and they had a Geiger counter And they would go to the window and it would spike.
01:37:32.000And they'd walk back into the... That's ionizing radiation, though.
01:38:43.000They say video footage of a 70-foot telephone mast on fire in Birmingham this week has also circulated widely alongside claims it was targeted by anti-5G protesters.
01:38:53.000Network operator EE told The Guardian that its engineers were still on the site assessing the cause of the fire, but it looks likely at this time that it was an arson attack.
01:39:01.000The company said it would be working with the police to find the culprits it said,
01:39:05.000quote, to deliberately take away mobile connectivity at a time when people need it
01:39:09.000more than ever to stay connected with each other is a reckless, harmful and dangerous thing to do.
01:39:13.000We will try to restore full coverage as quickly as possible, but the damage caused by the fire
01:39:17.000is significant. The problem has become so bad that engineers working for BT Openreach,
01:39:23.000which provides home broadband services, have also taken to posting public pleas on anti-5G
01:39:29.000Facebook groups asking to be spared the on street abuse as they are not involved in maintaining
01:39:35.000Yeah, I actually, in this stuff that I was reading, there's images of different people straight up yelling, you're murderers, you're killing
01:39:45.000people to like, you know, the guys in the yellow vests like installing 5G cables, you know,
01:39:50.000they're just there to pull cable line, you know, they're not, but people are yelling, I'm
01:41:33.000But the dude makes... Well, I guess the point of the movie is that he's wrong, the Earth isn't gonna kill all, you know, global warming, whatever.
01:41:39.000But the point is, the bad guy's like, hey look, the world's gonna end, we gotta, we gotta, you know, kill all these people.
01:41:43.000The good guys are like, no, you can't do that.
01:41:45.000Is that what these people think this is basically happening?
01:41:48.000Like, the global elites are just, are launching cellular technology?
01:41:51.000That's literally the plot of Kingsman.
01:42:16.000That like the 5G is being deployed because super wealthy people and government and the secret cabal is like we're gonna purge the masses like Kingsmen?
01:42:44.000While Holden, a judge on Britain's Got Talent, shared a link to a popular Change.org petition promoting the rumor that the symptoms of coronavirus are in reality due to residing near a 5G mast.
01:42:56.000The petition was subsequently removed following increase from The Guardian.
01:43:00.000International radiation experts have repeatedly made clear the new high-speed telephone system does not pose a risk to humans, while pointing out that the coronavirus has spread widely in many, many countries without any 5G coverage, such as Iran.
01:43:18.000Someone was saying that, I don't remember where I was reading it, but they were saying, like, you know, My brother, my dad, thinks that 5G is causing all this, and their main reason is because it's in all these countries that have 5G now.
01:43:33.000And it's like, well, what about all the countries that don't have it?
01:45:29.000If somebody comes to me and says they think it's possible that this thing would cause, you know, some kind of symptoms or whatever, my immediate reaction is never like, you're crazy.
01:45:54.000Iran's got a bunch of COVID stuff that has nothing to do with 5G.
01:45:56.000It was convenient in my opinion that people have been complaining about 5G stuff for a while.
01:46:00.000Now there is a real risk with 5G in that it's disruptive to satellite signals.
01:46:05.000So for weather forecasting and other stuff like that, it's going to start causing spottiness.
01:46:10.000And That's about it, so far that I've seen.
01:46:13.000And then all of a sudden COVID happens, and then someone linked the two, and then you get this viral video of the woman screaming, you're gonna kill people!
01:46:50.000But what she's saying is that people are trying to find a reason to explain what's happening around them.
01:46:55.000And one of the things about conspiracy theories is that for some people it's easier to think it's caused by 5G because 5G is something you have more control over.
01:47:05.000If it was 5G doing this, you could say, don't turn that on.
01:47:39.000Angry, unemployed, and full of alt-right stoked rage, Cuck's protagonist is ready to explore in Rob Lambert's discomforting, if over-rigged character study.
01:49:03.000When was it actually released in the movies?
01:49:04.000My understanding, so I have the Wikipedia here for it, and they say that it was released, the release date in the United States was October 4th, 2019.
01:49:39.000Bromesco went on to favorably compare Cuck to Todd Phillips' 2019 film Joker, calling it more repellent, honest, and astute than this week's odds-on box office champion.
01:49:49.000So that's saying that Joker came out at the same time, is it?
01:50:39.000If this weekend you're only seeing one depressing character study about an unemployable, fatherless, antisocial man-child who lives with his sickly mother, is often unattractively shirtless, and eventually decides society must pay violently for his general misery, then you're almost certainly going to see Joker.
01:50:55.000As it happens, however, there's an alternative, also fitting that description perfectly well, Cuck.
01:50:59.000is in fact Joker, with even less vestige of superheroes than Todd Films' atypical comic book movie.
01:51:05.000About precisely the sort of people some have feared will take Joker as an incitement to real-world violence.
01:51:12.000The usually white, incel-type man who feels marginalized and somehow robbed of success, who in worst-case scenarios ends up shooting up a school, workplace, or other public space, so to feel his rage isn't entirely impotent.
01:55:19.000That Joker was DC, and maybe they were thinking, if we do one that's based on real-life politics, people might go see it.
01:55:27.000So basically make the same movie as Joker, but make it about the alt-right, and make it about America, and call it cuck, and then people are gonna... You know what?
01:55:35.000This is evidence that people really overestimate the value of Twitter.
01:55:55.000You know, but, but that's, those were actually both okay movies.
01:55:58.000I'm talking like the, the, the top grossing film.
01:56:02.000And then the one that like is all D list actors that you don't know anyone, but actually the, the main character, or not even the main character, there's the one guy that they, they paid for like two scenes.
01:56:14.000Yeah, that was recognizable because he was like an extra in one blockbuster film.
02:00:14.000Jabbing says, Hey Tim, was listening to yesterday's podcast, and the idea that Mormons would survive the apocalypse got me thinking about the Mormon group mentioned in the Fallout New Vegas DLC.
02:02:03.000The Great Dub Dude says, what happens when a someone votes for the elderly family member that may not be in the mind state to realize what's even happening?
02:02:43.000I'm not saying they don't have the right to vote, but if they don't understand what's going on, it just seems a little... The same is true for young people who vote.
02:02:51.000If they don't know what's going on... So, how do you set limits?
02:02:55.000Well, I feel like young people need to know what's going on.
02:02:57.000That's for certain, you know, but if you're that old where you, you can't figure out what's going on because you're losing it, like some prominent figures we know.
02:03:06.000It's like, if you're really old and you're in decline and you're really young and you're on the, you know, you're going up, you're both still at the same level of, of knowledge and voting.
02:03:15.000You know, it's not until later in your life.
02:03:17.000Well, but one's a choice and one isn't a choice.
02:08:36.000Swampy says, Bill Gates also said in most recent interviews, world leaders would have everyone locked down till all humans globally have COVID vaccine and use the ID2020 chips to track who is and isn't vaxxed.
02:08:47.000Sounds like a nightmare dystopia, but I wouldn't be surprised how crazy everything's getting.
02:09:35.000Bridge Runner says, that poet Adam read in New York was the past equivalent of a virtue-signaling nonsense tweet.
02:09:40.000It was written by an internationalist looking out for her people, not the well-being of America.
02:09:45.000It's a cool poem, but I believe it was added, like, way late.
02:09:47.000Yeah, it's not like it's American policy.
02:09:50.000It's just really interesting that it's written, like, right on the wall when you're, like, walking into the museum of... And, you know, it's a whole different time, too.
02:09:59.000Quiet Guitarist says, if nukes start dropping for mutually assured destruction, I'm going to rush to the bathroom to be an environmental storytelling toilet skeleton.
02:10:24.000Elliot Sheedy said, experiments on the public.
02:10:26.000Fernald Center, radiation used on, I can't use that on YouTube unfortunately, I can't say that word, funded partly by Quaker Oats and US Atomic Energy Commission.
02:10:33.000They were fed radioactive food without knowledge or disclaimer.
02:10:35.000Yeah, we've done a bunch of crazy stuff.
02:11:08.000Seedfan says, about what that guy was saying before.
02:11:11.000Our states have shut their borders because our Prime Minister has never been proactive about anything and has let the states deal with the epidemic by themselves.
02:11:19.000Louise Gomez, thanks for the super chat, saying he likes turtles.
02:11:21.000Darth Gary says, Wait, did I miss a segment about Mormons?
02:13:40.000He's the guy who does, like, tre flip crook nollie tre out, and Naija's the guy who's, like, switch front feeb down, like, a 20-stair handrail.
