Transcript

00:00:00.000 The US.
00:00:13.000 has begun a massive bombing campaign on Iranian Revolutionary Guard targets in Syria and Iraq.
00:00:20.000 Basically, ladies and gentlemen, the U.S.
00:00:22.000 has just begun a very long protracted war in the Middle East.
00:00:26.000 Surprise, surprise.
00:00:27.000 Where have we heard this one before?
00:00:29.000 I'm not surprised it's happening, but the question is, how will it escalate?
00:00:33.000 I believe that the news we're seeing here is basically, it's a unilateral declaration of war by Joe Biden.
00:00:38.000 We are now attacking Iran.
00:00:40.000 The questions are, why is Iranian Revolutionary Guard operating in Syria and Iraq, and when did we declare war on Syria, and why are we there anyway?
00:00:51.000 I think the Uniparty, the establishment, realized, you know, the problem isn't that we unilaterally declare war and everyone complains about it.
00:00:59.000 They're complaining about it because we told them we did!
00:01:02.000 So now they're just, just go do it.
00:01:04.000 Ignore it and don't talk about it.
00:01:06.000 But now of course there are a bunch of media outlets and a bunch of politicians in various countries once again saying, World War 3!
00:01:13.000 They've been saying World War 3 for like a year now, so I don't know, I guess.
00:01:16.000 Are we in it?
00:01:17.000 But basically you got the UK saying, gear up and get ready.
00:01:20.000 Several other countries have been mentioned in the past week have been contemplating or advocating for a military draft.
00:01:26.000 And many news outlets are saying this action by the United States could be that escalation.
00:01:31.000 Then, of course, we have the prospect of civil war here on the border, as a new bill through Congress would authorize the National Guard to use lethal force against illegal immigrants in certain contexts.
00:01:42.000 Now, the easy context, of course, is if they're facing something life-threatening, but it also says, and for other reasons.
00:01:49.000 Should be interesting.
00:01:50.000 Basically, it looks like they are advancing the position where we may actually see combat on the border or some kind of force.
00:01:57.000 And the funny thing about that is Ian is the one who's talked about his fear that it comes to that point.
00:02:03.000 And I'm like, well, you know, that builds in Congress.
00:02:05.000 Maybe it doesn't make it.
00:02:06.000 Maybe it does.
00:02:06.000 We'll see.
00:02:07.000 And FBI is warning that China will be attacking U.S.
00:02:11.000 domestic infrastructure.
00:02:12.000 So perhaps there's just a whole lot of World War III going on.
00:02:15.000 We'll talk about that and then actually in some really big and very good cultural news, Joe Rogan, according to the Wall Street Journal, has secured a $250 million multi-platform deal with Spotify.
00:02:25.000 The reason this is really, really good news is the deal basically says that Rogan's show will be everywhere, YouTube, Spotify, anywhere, but Spotify is now going to buy the ad rights to the show so that they can basically sell ads against his show.
00:02:38.000 What does that mean?
00:02:39.000 Spotify believes Rogan and whatever controversies may arise in the press from his guests is
00:02:46.000 not going away and is profitable.
00:02:48.000 They don't think they're going to lose money on this deal and it's good for everybody else.
00:02:51.000 Because if Joe Rogan leads the way, Spotify is basically saying, we're going to put $250
00:02:56.000 million of our money up front because we think we'll make more money on this.
00:03:00.000 Basically it's paving the way for everybody else who produces content.
00:03:03.000 It is much more likely that comedy and, you know, offensive kind of content will not be taken down moving forward because these platforms are banking on it.
00:03:12.000 We'll talk about all that before we do, my friends.
00:03:14.000 Head over to castbrew.com.
00:03:17.000 Appalachian Nights Ground is back in stock, but we only have 274, and I'm sitting here like, holy crap, you guys, you're buying too much.

00:03:42.000 Rise with Roberto Jr. is the second favorite and we got a balancing act with that one.
00:03:46.000 But I like over the past week we've been doing reorders.
00:03:49.000 We've had reorders in the past week and they're selling out almost instantly.
00:03:53.000 And so really excited and really grateful that everybody is buying.

00:04:44.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and everything else is Charlie Spearing.
00:04:50.000 Who are you?
00:04:51.000 Hi, I'm Charlie Spearing.
00:04:53.000 I'm an author of a new book called Amateur Hour, Kamala Harris and the White House.
00:04:58.000 Right on.
00:04:58.000 So you basically, was it, were you facepalming every time you had to write something?
00:05:03.000 You're like, wow, I can't believe it.
00:05:05.000 Yeah, it was really fun to research.
00:05:07.000 What's the general premise of the book?
00:05:09.000 The general premise of the book is she's struggling, clearly, in the first three years of her vice presidency.
00:05:16.000 She clearly wasn't ready to run herself.
00:05:19.000 That's why Biden's running again.
00:05:21.000 And if Biden runs and wins, we're in a very real possibility of the 47th president becoming Kamala Harris.
00:05:31.000 I don't think Joe Biden can win.
00:05:33.000 But I also have no idea what's in store for us this year.
00:05:36.000 Yeah, I mean either.
00:05:38.000 If Joe Biden doesn't make it, if he can't make it to election day, I think the Democrat Party, that's their worst fear.
00:05:44.000 Because that's when everybody with the money is losing their mind.
00:05:47.000 As bad as Biden is.
00:05:48.000 They're like, Kamala's worse?
00:05:49.000 That's kind of funny.
00:05:50.000 All right, man.
00:05:50.000 Well, it should be fun.
00:05:51.000 Thanks for hanging out.
00:05:52.000 We got Hannah-Claire Brimelow as well.
00:05:53.000 Hey, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimelow.
00:05:54.000 I'm a writer for scnr.com.
00:05:56.000 I'm glad that you're here because I feel like I give Kamala a hard time always.
00:05:59.000 She's so easy to pick on, but she's not great.
00:06:02.000 So I'm glad you guys are joining us tonight.
00:06:04.000 Shane's here.
00:06:05.000 What's up?
00:06:05.000 I'm back.
00:06:06.000 It's good to be back.
00:06:06.000 Sounds like Charlie wrote a horror novel.
00:06:10.000 And I'm scared.
00:06:11.000 You're like reading through it.
00:06:12.000 Is this fiction?
00:06:12.000 Yeah, it's terrifying stuff, but it's great to be back.
00:06:15.000 Oh, a shout to the Discord.
00:06:17.000 I keep seeing stuff coming out of the Discord.
00:06:18.000 It's amazing what you all are doing out there.
00:06:20.000 And it's good to see you, Serge.
00:06:22.000 Oh, yeah.
00:06:22.000 Hasting the Discord stuff, man.
00:06:24.000 Serge has been inundating my phone today with stuff that he gets from Discord, and we were laughing for the last hour.
00:06:30.000 Yeah, that's great.
00:06:31.000 Thank you for that.
00:06:31.000 No after show today, but yeah, Discord rules.
00:06:35.000 I like being on there every once in a while.
00:06:37.000 Iamserge.com.
00:06:38.000 Let's get into it, Tim.
00:06:40.000 Here's the big story today, and of course they did it on a Friday.
00:06:43.000 U.S.
00:06:44.000 drops 125 bombs on 85 targets linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard in devastating airstrikes on Iraq and Syria.
00:06:52.000 Biden warns retaliation for drone attack that killed three soldiers will continue after long-range bombers and drones hit Middle East.
00:07:01.000 Unilateral declaration of war, or is it just, we are in such a perpetual state of war, they don't care, they're just going to keep ramping things up, and we're going to spiral out of control and implode, or what?
00:07:12.000 They're used to being a wasteland of our bomb shrapnel.
00:07:15.000 It doesn't seem like, it could escalate into a regional war, but they telegraphed it to everyone that we'd be bombing them, so then everyone that might have been responsible for the drone attack is gone, and we're taking out what could be the places where the drones were, but we'll see, I don't know.
00:07:29.000 It's just interesting to me because I was on the phone today with a friend who's in Special Forces for the Navy, and he was talking about whatever's going on in his life.
00:07:37.000 And then he was saying, Oh, yeah, I'm supposed to deploy this fall.
00:07:39.000 And I was like, Oh, where do you think you're going?
00:07:41.000 He's like, Oh, we're getting back in the Middle East.
00:07:43.000 But he says it the whole thing.
00:07:44.000 He didn't say something specific, which makes me think that like everyone is preparing for intense escalation.
00:07:51.000 Wasn't there something about the Roman Empire bringing in foreigners to fight in wars?
00:07:57.000 It's part of the story, I believe.
00:07:59.000 Does anybody know enough about the Roman Empire?
00:07:59.000 Is it part of the story?
00:08:01.000 Come on, man, I thought this was all you think about.
00:08:02.000 We're supposed to think about it every single day, yeah.
00:08:05.000 But seeing this, you know, it's perpetual war.
00:08:10.000 The fact that Congress does not approve of these things anymore, we've been at war in the Middle East for decades or longer, actually, and we're in Syria?
00:08:20.000 Iraq and Syria.
00:08:21.000 I mean, Iraq, I know.
00:08:22.000 Right.
00:08:23.000 And Syria, when?
00:08:25.000 I mean, of course it happened with- We never left.
00:08:28.000 Well, with Obama, we go in.
00:08:29.000 But my question is, when the Iraq War started, there's protests everywhere.
00:08:34.000 When Barack Obama decides to invade Syria, ain't nobody says anything.
00:08:38.000 Right.
00:08:39.000 Nothing.
00:08:39.000 Donald Trump comes in, tries to get the troops out.
00:08:41.000 They lie to him to keep the troops in.
00:08:43.000 Right.
00:08:44.000 It's crazy there at this point.
00:08:45.000 And so, now, with the bombing campaign in Iraq and Syria, we basically got a unilateral declaration of war on Syria.
00:08:54.000 We're attacking Iranian linked targets, whatever that means.
00:08:58.000 It's just, there's not going to be any formal declaration of a World War III or expansion of war.
00:09:02.000 We're just slowly walking our way into further and further escalation.
00:09:07.000 On top of that, everyone has been sharing this video from December 4th of C-SPAN of Senator Dick Durbin saying, we should make illegal immigrants soldiers.
00:09:17.000 We should bring them in.
00:09:18.000 I mean, this is C-SPAN right here.
00:09:19.000 Dick Durbin wants to make it possible for illegal immigrants to join the U.S.
00:09:22.000 And I've been getting a bunch of people messaging me being like, that's exactly how the Roman Empire collapsed.
00:09:27.000 Yeah I mean I remember we did IRL the day he did this and Kingsley Cortez was here and we had the same reaction which was that you can't have a bunch of people who don't have a tie to this country come in and fight for you because ultimately their loyalty is to the federal government.
00:09:41.000 It's not to the culture or the people or the states and that is dangerous for the population that potentially could resist the federal government.
00:09:48.000 It's such a ridiculous suggestion but it's obviously been on the minds of Senators in this country for a long time.
00:09:54.000 Again, to me that speaks that they are not ultimately loyal to the people that they serve.
00:09:58.000 They're loyal to power and controlling the masses.
00:10:02.000 Yeah, it's kind of like the new form of DACA, right?
00:10:05.000 This is the way we get more migrants into our country.
00:10:08.000 We let them serve in our military, and then we give them citizenship, say, well done.
00:10:14.000 Now you can go to college on the GI Bill, and then you'll be sufficiently roped in and hopefully support Democrats.
00:10:21.000 So do we see this administration going around and rounding up the illegals and giving them guns and sending them away?
00:10:27.000 And if they refuse, that administration deports them?
00:10:30.000 How does it look?
00:10:31.000 I just don't think they get organized fast enough, right?
00:10:33.000 Like, the reality is that he's going into somewhat of a lame duck period.
00:10:38.000 I mean, we've got to November, we expect a wave of executive actions or orders at the end of the year.
00:10:45.000 But like, I just don't know.
00:10:47.000 The thing is, like, one of the reasons that we can't find, we don't know the true number of how many illegal aliens are here.
00:10:53.000 Is because they aren't registered, so how would the government, you know, round up enough of them?
00:10:57.000 They'd have to put out a call, and most immigrant groups, like all of the NGOs or non-profits that support illegal aliens in this country, they always say, like, if police come to your door, don't answer, you know, resist that.
00:11:08.000 So actually there's now a problem, like, you can't get them to come out.
00:11:11.000 And the propaganda's crazy.
00:11:13.000 There's this viral meme, I guess, going around, it's statistics on crime.
00:11:17.000 And it's like some guy being like, just gonna drop this here, and it says, native-born Americans, crime is really high, undocumented immigrants is low, and then immigrants is super low.
00:11:26.000 And I'm just like, my guy.
00:11:28.000 The crime rate for illegal immigrants is at least 1 to 1.
00:11:34.000 Like, quite literally, it's impossible to claim native-born citizens commit more crime as opposed to quote-unquote undocumented immigrants because they started off by committing a crime.
00:11:47.000 Which means literally every single one of them has committed a crime, not every single native-born citizen has committed a crime.
00:11:54.000 Right, they're at 100% right off the bat.
00:11:56.000 That crime doesn't matter though.
00:11:57.000 That's not a real crime.
00:11:58.000 That's just civil disobedience.
00:12:01.000 And they exclude it when it's literally a crime.
00:12:05.000 To illegally enter the country.
00:12:07.000 Well, we exclude all kinds of crime.
00:12:11.000 As long as you take down the right statues, or as long as you storm the right office, or desecrate the right government building.
00:12:18.000 If you're doing the thing we want you to be doing, then we're okay with it.
00:12:21.000 I love the meme that someone made recently where it's the guy on January 6th with his feet on the table.
00:12:26.000 And it's not even a funny meme.
00:12:27.000 It's just like, six years in prison, and then it's the photo of the guy having gay sex in the Senate building, and it's like, no charges, no evidence.
00:12:35.000 It's crazy!
00:12:36.000 And they expect everyone to just go along with it.
00:12:38.000 They said there's no evidence of a crime.
00:12:40.000 There's no evidence of a crime!
00:12:42.000 The only reason we know it happened is because there's a video that went viral.
00:12:45.000 What are you talking about?
00:12:46.000 But what if they actually did bring charges against the people involved and it actually went to court in Washington, D.C.?
00:12:53.000 Would they be convicted?
00:12:55.000 Because you know how cops work, they only charge when they feel like they can get a conviction, right?
00:13:02.000 Like there's a there's a video out of Boston of a bunch of cops standing outside of the community center in the black neighborhood where they were housing all the criminal aliens and there's a black dude screaming like I can barely afford to live.
00:13:14.000 I work 40 hours a week and I can't even go to my community center anymore and the cops are like GTFO.
00:13:19.000 And I just, it's just, I love it, man.
00:13:21.000 I tweet, F these cops.
00:13:24.000 Scumbags.
00:13:25.000 And I get these conservative blue line people being like, Tim, it's not the police officer's fault.
00:13:29.000 It's not their fault.
00:13:30.000 I'm like, dude, it's nobody's fault but the person who committed the crime.
00:13:32.000 Okay?
00:13:33.000 Like, some guy you've never heard of in an office somewhere you've never been to is the real criminal.
00:13:39.000 What are you talking about?
00:13:39.000 I'm watching a guy work, like, work with criminal aliens right here.
00:13:44.000 Like, just how wild would it be if somebody is, like, in the middle of beating a child, and you're like, well, hold on.
00:13:50.000 Who told him to do it?
00:13:50.000 Hold on.
00:13:52.000 I'm like, I don't care, dude.
00:13:53.000 Stop the person.
00:13:53.000 These cops are committing crimes.
00:13:55.000 No, but they were told it's not legal, dude.
00:13:58.000 And that's where we're currently at, where I just see everything, man.
00:14:02.000 I think we got cultural victories and all that stuff, but man, it does feel like things are falling apart.
00:14:06.000 Because you got every man for himself mentality.
00:14:08.000 It's like watching the cops not do anything for the riots, like in the city, just standing by.
00:14:13.000 Meanwhile, when they were told to go arrest people trying to have a prayer service in a park in the city, you know, they would do that.
00:14:19.000 Or, yeah, arresting people wearing the mask or not wearing a mask.
00:14:21.000 It's less likely that people praying are going to resist.
00:14:23.000 I mean, they're expecting certain people to comply.
00:14:26.000 And I find that that's sort of an insult.
00:14:28.000 I mean, we talked about it a couple days ago on the show, but older generations are more likely to trust media.
00:14:33.000 They're more likely to trust the federal government.
00:14:34.000 And so in some respects, like the the thing that makes them vulnerable to being arrested by police is the fact that they They want to comply with the system.
00:14:43.000 They want to be supportive.
00:14:44.000 Whereas the police are like, well, that seems so crazy over there.
00:14:47.000 I'm not sure what we can do.
00:14:49.000 So we just won't.
00:14:50.000 Like, that seems like an insult to people who are ultimately trying to live by the rules of law and order.
00:14:54.000 Yeah.
00:14:54.000 So the authorities just go after the people who are easy targets.
00:14:57.000 Yeah.
00:14:58.000 Because they're afraid of the riots.
00:14:59.000 And they're afraid of the public image.
00:15:01.000 Can we just, like, I know- Well, probably the bureaucracy within the department, that's usually what kills any sort of impetus to do something virtuous, is I will lose my job, and my wife and kids are gonna suffer, and I'm gonna lose my pension, and so I'm not gonna do that.
00:15:16.000 You should quit then.
00:15:18.000 You know, part of me is glad- We haven't seen a lot of that, have we?
00:15:22.000 Like, cops being like, I'm done.
00:15:24.000 And I think, yeah, they're victims of these pensions.
00:15:27.000 We've seen a lot of it, actually.
00:15:28.000 In New York, yeah.
00:15:29.000 Massive.
00:15:30.000 All over the place.
00:15:31.000 I think, you know, at one point a few years ago, during the Defund the Police movement, we were looking at more than half Of like departments had seen, you know, resignations.
00:15:40.000 Resignations, sick outs.
00:15:42.000 Yeah, a lot of cops were just like, I won't do this anymore.
00:15:44.000 There's even a viral video where a cop in Seattle is like stopping at a light and all the activists are screaming and laughing at him.
00:15:49.000 And he yells, you won!
00:15:51.000 You win!
00:15:51.000 You won!
00:15:51.000 I'm out!
00:15:52.000 I quit!
00:15:53.000 Yeah, and then everyone, they're all laughing, they're like, we got him.
00:15:56.000 I'm just like, what I was going to say is I'm glad those, the police are refusing to charge the guys who had the gay sex in the Senate building, because I just want everybody listening to bring that conversation up to your liberal friends and family members.
00:16:11.000 Just bring it right up.
00:16:13.000 And when, and just like, I'm sorry, like when they're like, well, you know, then I'll be like, dude, come on.
00:16:17.000 There's a video, a viral video, literally, of a Democrat senator staff member getting banged.
00:16:27.000 In the Senate building, and they won't criminally charge him.
00:16:30.000 You wanna come to me?
00:16:31.000 You wanna come to me and tell me that the machine's not biased?
00:16:33.000 Come on!
00:16:34.000 Have we seen any people defend that?
00:16:36.000 No, they're hiding from it.
00:16:38.000 And he put out a statement being like, I'm being persecuted because of who I love.
00:16:43.000 And so immediately... They superimposed me, man.
00:16:46.000 That's why we can't let it go.
00:16:48.000 That's why, because if you notice, all of the prominent leftists will not bring it up.
00:16:53.000 So everybody should just keep talking about it.
00:16:55.000 And it took, like, 36 hours for it to puncture through mainstream.
00:16:58.000 I think Fox was one of the first people to report on it, but again, it wasn't that much.
00:17:02.000 I mean, the story is crazy.
00:17:04.000 Typically, what they say is sex sells, and in this case, it's like, no one can talk about it.
00:17:08.000 That's the wrong kind.
00:17:09.000 Yeah, not this one.
00:17:10.000 We don't like this one.
00:17:11.000 We did the Culture War episode maybe the day or two after that happened, and we, on the show, looked it up in the news, and there were no reports on it at all.
00:17:18.000 Because it broke on a Friday, I'm pretty sure, and, like, by Saturday was when I was starting to get news alerts about it.
00:17:25.000 But, like, of course I had our, like, it is one of those things that reminds you that Twitter is a very different space than the rest of the nation.
00:17:32.000 Yeah, who broke that story?
00:17:33.000 Yeah.
00:17:34.000 Was it the Daily Caller?
00:17:35.000 Daily Caller did, yeah.
00:17:35.000 Oh, okay.
00:17:36.000 They've been getting a lot of stuff.
00:17:36.000 Yeah.
00:17:37.000 Props to them.
00:17:38.000 Yeah.
00:17:39.000 Let's jump to this story.
00:17:41.000 We got this from the Daily Mail.
00:17:43.000 National Guard would be able to use force against armed migrants entering the U.S.
00:17:47.000 under new bill from Navy SEAL veteran Republican Congressman.
00:17:50.000 They're going to mention that House Republicans are pushing a bill that would authorize the National Guard to use lethal force against individuals with weapons crossing from Mexico into the United States.
00:17:58.000 They do keep saying that, but they also mention the bill actually says, and for other issues or whatever.
00:18:06.000 They say, in the last year there have been multiple instances of migrants crossing into the U.S.
00:18:10.000 carrying weapons, with some brandishing rifles like an AR-15.
00:18:14.000 As the Biden administration and Texas Governor Greg Abbott clash over border security policies, the bill, Luttrell claims, will enable the National Guard to better protect the U.S.
00:18:21.000 by using any means necessary to stop armed migrants.
00:18:24.000 Lookit, they got photos of these dudes.
00:18:26.000 That's kinda wild.
00:18:28.000 I just can't believe that we have to pass this law.
00:18:30.000 What have we been doing this whole time?
00:18:32.000 It's legit an invasion.
00:18:34.000 They're coming armed.
00:18:35.000 Why are we not just, the headlines should just say invasion at the border.
00:18:38.000 Well, of course they won't.
00:18:39.000 Who wrote this?
00:18:41.000 Here you go.
00:18:42.000 They call him the People Smuggler.
00:18:44.000 Oh, that sounds like a supervillain name.
00:18:46.000 The People Smuggler was filmed by Texas Department of Safety drone on Wednesday near Eagle Pass.
00:18:50.000 This is Wednesday.
00:18:52.000 Take this photo, post it on Twitter, and say, invasion.
00:18:55.000 Okay?
00:18:56.000 Spare me.
00:18:57.000 These dudes are coming with rifles, and our guys aren't even allowed to defend this country from armed people?
00:19:04.000 Wow.
00:19:05.000 Again, why does this have to be a law?
00:19:07.000 I just don't get this.
00:19:08.000 I mean, I'm glad it is, if no one has thought that this is something that's necessary.
00:19:13.000 Why do we have a border if we're not trying to stop people who are entering armed, who are trying to enter illegally while armed?
00:19:20.000 Again, what are we doing here, team?
00:19:23.000 What are we doing?
00:19:24.000 Why are these governors sending the National Guard down there if they aren't?
00:19:28.000 I didn't know they're not allowed to use their weapons against armed people.
00:19:31.000 They're just supposed to put out their arms and be like, go back.
00:19:33.000 Listen to me, Joe.
00:19:35.000 Hold hands and sing a song.
00:19:36.000 I'm so glad that Ron DeSantis and all these governors are sending more and more National Guard troops because all they can do is just build fences and say, please, Right, they're gonna link arms and just be like, you cannot cross.
00:19:47.000 They're not allowed to- You shall not pass.
00:19:48.000 They're not allowed to retaliate.
00:19:50.000 Having been to the border in Yuma and seeing how they treat people coming across the border with like luggage tags and van rides and plane tickets and stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if they come with a gun and be like, do you need more ammo?
00:19:59.000 Like, where you- Is everything okay?
00:20:00.000 Yeah, do you need a case for that rifle?
00:20:01.000 Yeah.
00:20:02.000 Hey, where'd you get that?
00:20:02.000 Totally crazy.
00:20:04.000 Did you- Did that come from here?
00:20:05.000 Or did you?
00:20:06.000 It is interesting to me.
00:20:07.000 So there's this bill and then there was another one that the House passed yesterday saying,
00:20:13.000 I have to remember, I should give this guy credit, but I can't remember his name.
00:20:18.000 Basically it's Barry Moore from Alabama, I think he proposed this bill that if you, if
00:20:25.000 there's an illegal immigrant who's in the country and gets convicted of or admits to
00:20:30.000 driving while intoxicated, then that's ground that makes them inadmissible.
00:20:34.000 So they couldn't get like a green card, they couldn't get any status.
00:20:37.000 And also it's grounds for deportation, which when I read it, it was sort of like, yes,
00:20:41.000 of course.
00:20:42.000 Because you're here illegally in the first place, already committing a crime, and then you commit another crime.
00:20:47.000 Seems like you should definitely go, but the fact that we have to spell this out tells you- Well, it's clever politics.
00:20:51.000 It's like, let's just pick one crime that everybody can sort of gather round.
00:20:56.000 It also seems reasonable.
00:20:58.000 Like, someone who commits a crime while in the process of committing another crime being here illegally, probably I don't want them to be a citizen.
00:21:04.000 Probably they are not here with good intentions.
00:21:06.000 Yes?
00:21:07.000 It seems basic and obvious, but at the same time, 150 Democrats in the House voted against it, right?
00:21:12.000 Like, it is weird that we have to say this is a bad idea.
00:21:15.000 And in fact, there were congressmen from every border state, you know, California, New Mexico, Arizona, who are Democrats, who voted for this.
00:21:24.000 So it makes me wonder, like, are you seeing this in your community, where there are people who are here illegally and are proceeding to, you know, potentially be hazards to You know, the illegal population, but also the legal residents in your communities.
00:21:38.000 It's very weird.
00:21:38.000 I feel like, at a certain point, they just can't deny it.
00:21:40.000 And their constituents are like, our homes are ruined.
00:21:44.000 This place is ruined.
00:21:45.000 People are leaving.
00:21:45.000 The economy in this town or city is dying.
00:21:49.000 Like we see with Eric Adams, when he spoke out.
00:21:51.000 But then once he spoke out, they tried to MeToo him, like a week or two later.
00:21:55.000 Oh yeah, that kind of disappeared for a while, didn't it?
00:21:57.000 He was getting raided by the feds, wasn't he?
00:21:59.000 Jeez, man.
00:21:59.000 Yeah, he was.
00:22:00.000 This is the 11th hour, dude.
00:22:03.000 We got, like, can we pull up his picture again?
00:22:05.000 My friends.
00:22:06.000 That's not the only one.
00:22:07.000 He's hanging out in the trees over here.
00:22:09.000 Bro, this is an invasion.
00:22:11.000 Straight up.
00:22:12.000 This guy's got a gun.
00:22:13.000 And apparently it's an issue.
00:22:15.000 They're like, maybe we should give the National Guard the ability to, like, I don't know, fight back when they're being shot at or something.
00:22:19.000 That's him.
00:22:20.000 He's a poor asylum seeker.
00:22:22.000 He's just trying to, you know, come for opportunity.
00:22:24.000 Hands up, don't shoot.
00:22:25.000 It's xenophobic to question.
00:22:27.000 Armed asylum seekers.
00:22:28.000 I'm actually totally down for saying asylum seekers.
00:22:30.000 They're ready to go to war, Tim, just like you've been saying.
00:22:33.000 He's like Dick Durbin, I'm coming, I'm ready to fight.
00:22:36.000 I'm here to sign up and fight for Uncle Sam.
00:22:38.000 They're like, this guy's got experience.
00:22:40.000 No, the left likes to call them all asylum seekers, even when they're criminal aliens or smugglers or whatever.
00:22:45.000 And so then you get the right saying illegal immigrant.
00:22:48.000 And I'm telling people like criminal alien is the legal term for this.
00:22:52.000 I'm going back to Asylum Seekers because I'm going to say armed Asylum Seekers.
00:22:55.000 Mostly peaceful.
00:22:56.000 Mostly peaceful.
00:22:58.000 But armed.
00:22:58.000 Possibly peaceful.
00:23:00.000 Look, he loves the Second Amendment.
00:23:02.000 Of course he's an American.
00:23:04.000 Hopefully peaceful.
00:23:05.000 It's just wild.
00:23:07.000 And this is, I mean, I wish I had listened to a Corinne Jean-Pierre Whitehouse briefing today.
00:23:12.000 I'm sure if she saw this and was asked about it, she'd be like, everything at the border is fine.
00:23:16.000 Don't question this at all.
00:23:17.000 Like, at what point This is for the hardcore progressive Democrats, I don't know that anything on this level will convince them, but people who are sort of non-political, moderate, maybe lean a little socially left, when you see these pictures, at what point are you just like, yes, this is incorrect?
00:23:34.000 If you take a closer look and you zoom in, you can actually see there's something on the back, right?
00:23:34.000 No, no, no.
00:23:39.000 He's holding a small anvil.
00:23:42.000 Of course.
00:23:42.000 He's trying to set up a smithing shop.
00:23:45.000 Right.
00:23:45.000 Stop assuming these are criminals.
00:23:47.000 Oh, I don't know.
00:23:48.000 It almost looks like a bump stock to me.
00:23:50.000 The thing is, Wile E. Coyote use anvils all the time for bad things.
00:23:53.000 And so I just, that's how it counts as a weapon to me too.
00:23:56.000 Hannah, to your point, it's like those people, those very same people you're talking about looking at this and thinking that they might come to terms with it, the reality of it, they're the ones who looked at the riots and thought they were just.
00:24:05.000 See, I think that shifted.
00:24:06.000 I think there's been sort of a bleeding effect away because some of these things are so concrete.
00:24:12.000 And that's why I think a lot of progressive outlets, a lot of progressive activists harp on January 6th so much because it's a way to sort of quell the fear.
00:24:21.000 Like, you can't question anything that's going on because ultimately, look at this very bad thing, theoretically, that happened this one time, whereas this is an active invasion that's going on constantly and, in fact, has been going on for three years.
00:24:34.000 The official number is something like, we think 6 million illegal criminal aliens are here.
00:24:39.000 But when Rhonda Santas was doing his press conference when he was saying, I'm going to send people to the border, he was like, what's the number?
00:24:46.000 Like 10 million?
00:24:47.000 No one knows how many of these people are here.
00:24:49.000 There's no way of knowing.
00:24:50.000 Did you see Theo Vaughn's tweet?
00:24:52.000 I think it was last weekend.
00:24:53.000 He tweeted, let's get a head count on who's in this MF.
00:25:00.000 I'm not doing it justice.
00:25:02.000 He had another recent one too.
00:25:03.000 He's had a bunch of good ones.
00:25:04.000 He's so funny.
00:25:05.000 I'm surprised.
00:25:06.000 Until we can figure out what's going on.
00:25:08.000 Yeah.
00:25:09.000 Charlie, as the resident Kamala expert, what's her take on the border?
00:25:13.000 Wasn't she supposed to be in charge of the border?
00:25:17.000 Go back to, I think it was in June 21 when she went to Guatemala and she held that press conference and she Yeah.
00:25:24.000 That's right.
00:25:24.000 That's right.
00:25:25.000 But why would they not listen to Kamala?
00:25:27.000 Remember Angered AOC and a lot of other progressives?
00:25:31.000 Well, I guess they're not listening to Kamala.
00:25:34.000 But why would they not listen to Kamala?
00:25:35.000 I've heard that she's very influential.
00:25:37.000 She's historic.
00:25:38.000 I don't know why they didn't get the memo.
00:25:40.000 Why did they make her Borders Are?
00:25:42.000 Does your book know?
00:25:43.000 Yeah, this was kind of Biden's first attempt to be like, all right, Kamala, you're my buddy vice president.
00:25:51.000 You're going to take one for the team.
00:25:52.000 Here's what we do.
00:25:53.000 I'm putting you in.
00:25:54.000 So I always wondered if that was him sort of being like, I'm going to give you a bad job because I don't really like you.
00:25:59.000 I don't want you to be more successful than I am.
00:26:01.000 And he knew exactly what he was doing because Obama did the same thing to him.
00:26:04.000 Charlie, I gotta stop you there.
00:26:06.000 When has anyone ever said that Biden knows exactly what he's doing?
00:26:10.000 Maybe in the first few months of his first term.
00:26:13.000 As what, vice president?
00:26:16.000 Well, at least his team knew, right?
00:26:16.000 As president.
00:26:18.000 Because he's had the same team for decades.
00:26:20.000 We've heard stories.
00:26:21.000 We got them from Obama, I heard.
00:26:23.000 No, they're his guys.
00:26:24.000 Really?
00:26:25.000 Team Biden is very strong and very powerful and they are not beholden to anybody else but their own interests.
00:26:32.000 They aren't even beholden to the Biden family at this point.
00:26:35.000 It's just them.
00:26:36.000 So why did they want, if he was immediately going to stick her with a terrible job trying to rein in the border, not really though if you're a Democrat, why did he select her as VP?
00:26:46.000 Like, if there's always been a little bit of tension there, was it just that she would bring him the demographics he wanted?
00:26:50.000 Yeah, as I outlined in the book, it was a very political decision.
00:26:53.000 He actually preferred Gretchen Whitmer because, you know, she's Midwestern, swing state, she campaigned on the idea of fixing the damn roads, you know.
00:27:02.000 Feds love her.
00:27:03.000 He liked that.
00:27:03.000 He liked her style of politics and thought she was a real winner.
00:27:07.000 She actually tried to drop out of the running because You know, the whole process was sort of overrun by the George Floyd riots.
00:27:14.000 It's like, got very volatile.
00:27:16.000 And that's when everyone sort of started dropping out.
00:27:18.000 You had Amy Klobuchar just be like, Oh, I gotta go.
00:27:21.000 Former prosecutor, right?
00:27:23.000 In Minnesota.
00:27:24.000 So I was like, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not doing this.
00:27:26.000 So you saw more and more candidates drop out.
00:27:30.000 And so he ended up, but he had to pick up, you know, he had vowed to pick a woman vice president.
00:27:35.000 And then ultimately it was clear by, you know, senior advisors, that he had to pick a woman of color during this time of racial tension.
00:27:44.000 And he was not doing so good on racial issues.
00:27:46.000 He was going around saying, you know, poor kids are just as smart as white kids, and you're not black if you vote for Trump.
00:27:54.000 And so, yeah, he really had to show that part of his base that he was serious about hearing them and getting a woman of color on the ticket.
00:28:03.000 You know what I was thinking?
00:28:06.000 It's really funny how the left says these Christians are all super hateful and all that.
00:28:09.000 And I'm thinking this because I'm like, you know I blame for all of the stuff happening right now, like where we are in my generation?
00:28:16.000 I blame Christian conservatives.
00:28:18.000 And it's because they're too good of people and they were very tolerant and accepting to so many really bad people that they kept acting in good faith and allowed these far leftists and communists to infiltrate institutions.
00:28:30.000 So I mean that somewhat, I'm half joking.
00:28:32.000 Right.
00:28:33.000 But, you know, 30, 40 years ago, or 50, 60 years ago, when you have a very Christian conservative nation, Evil steps in, lies, and being good people.
00:28:43.000 They're like, well, you know, I think we should give these people a fair chance and now you've got communists running over everything.
00:28:48.000 And even to this day, the Republican Party is still impotent and won't address these things.
00:28:54.000 I mean, Donald Trump gets sued.
00:28:56.000 Criminally charged, abused mercilessly in these jurisdictions, not a single Republican jurisdiction is countering.
00:29:03.000 I mean, maybe there's one or two small ones here or there, but where's West Virginia or Texas?
00:29:08.000 Ken Paxton should file criminal charges against Joe Biden for facilitating human smuggling.
00:29:13.000 Why not?
00:29:14.000 I mean, the charges against Trump are ludicrous.
00:29:16.000 He did not lead an insurrection.
00:29:18.000 Okay, Ken Paxton, file charges against Joe Biden right now for leading an insurrection at our southern border.
00:29:23.000 Use that photo and let them argue he's immune.
00:29:26.000 Whatever.
00:29:27.000 He will have to answer to the Texas legal system, but you know what?
00:29:30.000 As much as Texas is standing your ground and all that stuff, I know the judges, they're gonna go, oh, geez, oh, well, you know, we can't do that.
00:29:38.000 I'm like, dude, are you watching what they're doing in New York?
00:29:40.000 We are better men.
00:29:41.000 Okay, well, then Trump goes to prison.
00:29:42.000 Have a nice day.
00:29:44.000 Yeah, it does seem like they need to become more of an offense.
00:29:47.000 Right now it does feel like a lot of states are just on defense, are kind of waiting to respond to what more progressive activists are doing.
00:29:55.000 But I don't, I'm not enough of a legal expert to know what what steps should be taken.
00:30:00.000 I think it would just be good for conservative voters to see action taken.
00:30:05.000 So I tweeted that E. Jean Carroll was a deranged I'll just say person.
00:30:10.000 It was a bit more aggressive than that.
00:30:15.000 And I got all these leftists.
00:30:17.000 This one went viral and it was like, hey, I'm Tim Pool.
00:30:21.000 I'm going to defame a woman who just won a massive defamation lawsuit.
00:30:24.000 And I'm just like, for one, I did not defame her.
00:30:27.000 I insulted her.
00:30:28.000 There's a difference.
00:30:30.000 Two, this is not how the law works.
00:30:31.000 You people are morons.
00:30:33.000 However, fair point.
00:30:35.000 People like this are in law in New York and they're like, we'll do it anyway.
00:30:38.000 And so when the question comes up as to what are the legal requirements for Ken Paxton in Texas to actually bring about some kind of charges or to, I don't know if he would be the actual guy to bring the charges or how he could pursue this.
00:30:50.000 It doesn't even matter!
00:30:52.000 You look at what's going on in New York, and it's all fake, and we all know it.
00:30:56.000 Come on.
00:30:57.000 Single Republican in any jurisdiction?
00:30:59.000 Ugh, do I have to run for office?
00:31:01.000 I swear, I swear.
00:31:02.000 I might have to.
00:31:03.000 If you guys make Tim run for office, he'll be real mad.
00:31:05.000 I'm gonna be really mad.
00:31:06.000 But I'll run for some office where I'm like, I don't care what it is.
00:31:08.000 I will take a sheriff's office and I will immediately be like, I am going to go and start arresting people who are breaking the law.
00:31:15.000 Like that's it.
00:31:17.000 Like in West Virginia, they should have a criminal investigation right now into the Customs and Border Protection Facility.
00:31:22.000 It's a massive facility on 340 in West Virginia.
00:31:25.000 There should be state law enforcement raiding that building with a warrant from a judge because we want to know what's going on with their internal communications as per the human smuggling they're involved in.
00:31:36.000 Ain't nobody got the balls to actually do anything though.
00:31:39.000 Do you think it's because they're spineless or they're like stalled by their fear of these institutions?
00:31:45.000 I was wondering if it's similar to the fear.
00:31:48.000 When the federal government investigates itself, it's always like, we've done nothing wrong, everything's good, right?
00:31:53.000 Of course.
00:31:54.000 With the DoD probe into Lloyd Austin's hospitalization and the fact that he didn't tell anybody and no one knew.
00:32:02.000 When he did his press conference, he said, there is an internal investigation.
00:32:05.000 Congress has done some stuff, but ultimately, if you're investigating yourself, you're going to say it's okay.
00:32:10.000 The Customs and Border Patrol.
00:32:12.000 It would be, I assume, West Virginia that needs to come in and say, we're investigating what's going on here.
00:32:16.000 But I've heard so often from law enforcement, oh, well, you know, fed Trump's state, the feds are allowed to do whatever.
00:32:21.000 And I want to know, is that actually true?
00:32:23.000 Or is this just the attitude that has become that you think that the federal government has?
00:32:27.000 Because Texas has proven that wrong right now.
00:32:29.000 Texas said our right to self-defense is the supreme law of the land.
00:32:32.000 Let me pull up this story here from the Postmillennial.
00:32:35.000 Big fans.
00:32:36.000 New York City to pay out $53 million on prepaid debit cards to illegal immigrants in pilot program.
00:32:42.000 Oh, so when Eric Adams comes out and says, this will destroy us, he gets accused of crimes and he gets raided.
00:32:50.000 The next thing you know, he's like, I am going to give $53 million to illegal immigrants.
00:32:54.000 I am totally for this.
00:32:56.000 It's coming out of my bank account too.
00:32:58.000 He's like blinking out in Morse code like I don't want to.
00:33:00.000 Rescue me.
00:33:02.000 Not bad.
00:33:03.000 I think it'd be funnier if they spent 53 million dollars to just ship them to Eagle Pass, at which point they're escorted back across the border.
00:33:09.000 I genuinely think the Democrat strategy is we have to destroy this country to the greatest degree imaginable before Trump wins.
00:33:16.000 Because the only response we have, or I should say not the only, but the functional response, the best course of action is Trump wins.
00:33:25.000 So I think You know, there's a... I just love all of the articles that are popping up about Taylor Swift.
00:33:32.000 I'm not gonna get into the whole thing about Taylor Swift.
00:33:34.000 My point is this.
00:33:36.000 Have any of the people who've pushed that story stopped to ask themselves why it is the corporate press is running full speed ahead, pumping out dozens of stories about the right attacking Taylor Swift?
00:33:48.000 They want you to!
00:33:49.000 They want you to do this, okay?
00:33:51.000 Don't.
00:33:52.000 Why is it?
00:33:52.000 We look at this.
00:33:56.000 I think their attitude is like, they're desperately praying some right-wing or MAGA guy acts a fool.
00:34:02.000 They want some right-wing guy to act out of line so they can use that.
00:34:07.000 And so they're gonna press and turn the heat up in the pressure cooker as much as possible.
00:34:12.000 $53 million of your money going to illegal immigrants, the border crisis.
00:34:17.000 Like, the CBP cutting border barrier razor wire?
00:34:21.000 Like, why are they doing this?
00:34:24.000 Obviously they want to destroy the country, but I think they're trying to force or actually create the circumstances where they can at least claim the right to engage in some kind of violence.
00:34:33.000 I think we're seeing this sustained absurdity, and they're becoming very desperate.
00:34:38.000 And this is about to be dark, so if you have little ones listening, it's dark.
00:34:43.000 But this is how I've been thinking about the government lately in terms of their desperation.
00:34:46.000 I think of Ted Bundy and how Ted Bundy operated secretly for years, doing horrible things.
00:34:53.000 And his last act of desperation when they were onto him went on a horrible murder spree.
00:34:59.000 And it seems like with this kind of sustained absurdity and violence and the war on every front possible, it seems like, you know, I think of the government like Ted Bundy in that last desperate act.
00:35:08.000 It may be like, for him, he said, oh no, they're gonna catch me, I better get as much as I can in.
00:35:12.000 For the Democrats and the Uniparty, I think they're thinking, Trump is going to reverse whatever it is we do.
00:35:20.000 So imagine it this way.
00:35:21.000 Let's say there's a scale of 0 to 100.
00:35:24.000 And they're like, if we're at 50, Trump is gonna pull us back to 20.
00:35:29.000 We need to push things to 100 so Trump can only go back to 70.
00:35:32.000 So it's like, They know that Trump's going to deport a million migrants.
00:35:37.000 That's how the left works, destroy everything.
00:35:38.000 Trump's going to deport a million migrants.
00:35:40.000 Let's bring in 10 million so he can only deport one out of the nine we got in.
00:35:44.000 It's a big ask in terms of policies.
00:35:46.000 And it has two effects.
00:35:47.000 Number one, they can run screaming with all these headlines being like, how could he do this?
00:35:51.000 He's deporting poor asylum seekers and et cetera, et cetera.
00:35:55.000 And also they can then say, and he didn't even do that good of a job.
00:35:58.000 There are so many more people here.
00:35:59.000 He didn't come through with his promises.
00:36:00.000 Like they're trying to set him up to fail on two fronts.
00:36:04.000 It's the inverse of what Biden did with the economy coming back after Trump locking it down.
00:36:10.000 So they keep claiming all these jobs came back, but they came back because we took them away, right?
00:36:14.000 And then they spin as a positive for Biden.
00:36:16.000 So it'd be the inverse of that for Trump when they make it, they wrecked this country so much.
00:36:20.000 And it's like almost impossible to bring it back to the way it was.
00:36:22.000 I think we're missing the bigger point is like, We're now trying to set up Joe Biden as a wartime president, you know, single-handedly pressing the buttons of hundreds of missiles into the Middle East.
00:36:34.000 Meanwhile, he's back in bed in Delaware, I think, right now, right?
00:36:37.000 He spends most weekends in Delaware.
00:36:39.000 They released, like, a three-paragraph statement.
00:36:41.000 Typically, the president's supposed to get up there and give a speech to explain to the American people.
00:36:47.000 I don't think they're trying to make him a wartime president because, like you said, he should be up there standing giving speeches and he's not.
00:36:54.000 I think it's part of the big, we'll call it the big act, not the big ask, where they're saying, if Trump gets elected, he's pulling our troops out of all these places.
00:37:03.000 Let's scattershot the Middle East, forcing military action on the United States that Trump could never even pull back from.
00:37:10.000 So, bring in 10x illegal immigrants, so Trump can only deport half of them.
00:37:14.000 Go to war as much as possible in the Middle East, so that Trump will struggle to get our troops out.
00:37:18.000 They're just trying to create the biggest mess for Trump to clean up, so it looks like he's not succeeding.
00:37:22.000 No, no, they're trying to get 8 years of the presidency in 4 years.
00:37:27.000 So that when Trump goes in, and actually I say 12 years, because Trump's gonna reverse 4 years of their actions.
00:37:33.000 They want 8.
00:37:34.000 They want 2020 to 2028, everything they want.
00:37:37.000 Illegal immigration, war, conflict, crisis.
00:37:40.000 If Trump is minus 4 years, they need to do 12.
00:37:44.000 12 years of this policy happening in 4 years.
00:37:48.000 And that makes sense if you think about it.
00:37:49.000 10 million illegal immigrants in the span of a couple years?
00:37:53.000 Right, if they had the If they had the White House up until 2028, they can be like, well, we can sustain it slowly.
00:38:01.000 But they genuinely think Trump's going to win.
00:38:02.000 Most people think Trump's going to win.
00:38:04.000 So they're like, we have to triple our efforts so that Trump can only pull back a little bit.
00:38:08.000 But that allows them to accomplish their goals from now until 2028.
00:38:12.000 I've been calling these things in the media like invisible landmines, where there's something that, you know, all the migrants are criminals, fugitives, the invasion is happening, and then they're filling the country, Trump takes over, then they turn him into the bad guy by saying, look, he's doing all these crazy things, he's deporting everyone, he's the monster we always told you he was.
00:38:33.000 They're going to show pictures of him, like people are being loaded into trucks and buses, and they're going to say, We said never again, but it's happening now.
00:38:40.000 Yeah, think of all the New Yorker covers.
00:38:42.000 They're going to paint him looking like Hitler and whatnot.
00:38:45.000 Well, maybe he should be more strategic.
00:38:46.000 Maybe just start by deporting the child molesters and the drunk drivers.
00:38:51.000 But that's not going to matter for the cop assaulters.
00:38:53.000 It's not going to matter for the photographs and the propaganda.
00:38:56.000 So the smart play is that he has to deport them in a way that makes it difficult for them to run that narrative.
00:39:03.000 And I actually think that hopefully conservative media gets out with him, because I think that's part of it.
00:39:09.000 They can't back down and use the terms.
00:39:10.000 They have to be honest about the fact that these people were always here illegally and they're not supposed to be here.
00:39:16.000 No, I think that the answer, I brought this up the other day, is Donald Trump gets in, immediately goes, I agree with Dick Durbin, we're gonna bring them into the military, good men and women in uniform, and then you take all the illegal immigrants, you, with handshakes and a salute, were like, you're coming to basic training, and then through all this, you know, they'll post a photo on a magazine being like, Trump is enlisting illegal immigrants, I guess, it's like, well, it's a Democrat idea, and they may try to spin it,
00:39:46.000 But then, what you do is you de- This is some 3D chess.
00:39:50.000 Hold on, hold on.
00:39:52.000 You deploy them.
00:39:54.000 Wink.
00:39:56.000 Alright, so what country are you from, sir?
00:39:58.000 I'm from Honduras.
00:39:59.000 Congratulations, you're being deployed to Honduras.
00:40:02.000 You don't need a gun or a helmet.
00:40:05.000 It seems like a more expensive route to do this.
00:40:08.000 We're going to send you to the other side of the border to guard the border.
00:40:12.000 That's a good idea!
00:40:13.000 You guys stay over there!
00:40:15.000 Don't let anybody in!
00:40:16.000 That's a good idea, actually.
00:40:18.000 You're all being deployed to line the border.
00:40:21.000 Don't let anybody in.
00:40:21.000 Who needs a wall?
00:40:22.000 We have a human wall.
00:40:23.000 If anybody gets in, none of you get citizenship.
00:40:26.000 Yeah.
00:40:28.000 If you can hold it for a year, but then the best part- Ten years.
00:40:31.000 But the best part is, we can promise them anything, and like the US government already treats its veterans, they just abandon them.
00:40:36.000 Yeah.
00:40:36.000 Right.
00:40:36.000 We give you nothing.
00:40:37.000 There you go.
00:40:38.000 It's like, I served for four years, it's like, do you notice the line of all the other veterans that we've ignored?
00:40:43.000 Man, you should have read the fine print.
00:40:45.000 I think that's true.
00:40:46.000 Maybe this is the way to solve this issue.
00:40:47.000 I was skeptical at first because it seemed like we'd just be using taxpayer money to do something crazy.
00:40:52.000 Well, it is.
00:40:53.000 But that's the only way to secure the border.
00:40:55.000 But then when the media is like, Trump is loading up all these people on the buses and trains.
00:41:01.000 And then he's like, but yeah, because they chose to join the military because they're good people.
00:41:05.000 Why would you insult them like that?
00:41:06.000 Oh, geez.
00:41:07.000 And of course, the training camp is a new training camp we set up in southern Mexico.
00:41:12.000 This is getting very Roman Empire of you, Tim.
00:41:15.000 I mean, that's what you could do.
00:41:18.000 Like, basic training for all non-citizens who want to enlist.
00:41:22.000 Well, that training camp is not in the United States.
00:41:25.000 It's, you know, in Guatemala.
00:41:27.000 Right.
00:41:28.000 We exported our training facilities to Mexico.
00:41:30.000 It's cheaper there.
00:41:31.000 Just like our manufacturing jobs.
00:41:33.000 We're saving money for everybody.
00:41:35.000 And then we just, you know, your job is to guard the training camp.
00:41:39.000 And they all just stay there.
00:41:41.000 Problem solved.
00:41:42.000 It would be interesting.
00:41:43.000 But yeah, you'll need creative solutions, otherwise they're going to run this narrative
00:41:46.000 Donald Trump is Hitler.
00:41:47.000 I mean, I gotta be honest, like, they've already run that narrative ad nauseum.
00:41:51.000 They'll add photos to the mix.
00:41:53.000 I wonder if at that point everyone's going to be like, I just don't care anymore.
00:41:58.000 You know, like...
00:42:00.000 Well, no, look, I mean, this might be the best thing in the world for Trump.
00:42:03.000 Trump finally gets in, actually is loading people on buses and trains and sending them off to be deported, and the media screams, he's Hitler, and at that point you're like, I get it, the sky is falling and there's wolves.
00:42:12.000 I don't care, I'm so over it.
00:42:13.000 Well, I think the thing is, if they run the pictures of Trump loading people up on buses, because, you know, why would he deport people who are illegally, because apparently that's the wrong thing to do, I think, hopefully, conservative media gets behind him and runs the photos of every person who has been killed by someone who was here illegally.
00:42:29.000 I mean, there are already resources that do this.
00:42:31.000 BorderHawk does this with Dan Lyman.
00:42:33.000 There are people who suffer because of illegal immigration.
00:42:35.000 Not just the economic effects, but, like, the crime.
00:42:37.000 If you showed all the footage of the, you saw this, the trash and, like, the underwear that's at the border, right?
00:42:43.000 There's horrible things.
00:42:44.000 It's a landfill.
00:42:45.000 There's evidence that something is wrong, and we just don't show those pictures enough.
00:42:48.000 It's that, like Republicans in Congress, the media that supports Trump, or the influencers, let's say, the talking heads that do it, need to be just as on the offense.
00:42:59.000 I think I figured it out.
00:43:00.000 I know what we need.
00:43:01.000 You guys remember that article where it was like Trump ends up supporting lockdown so that everyone opposes or something like that?
00:43:09.000 What we need is 5D chess where Trump gets elected but keeps doing everything the Democrats want to be done.
00:43:18.000 And so they have no choice but to oppose all of it.
00:43:23.000 Prepaid debit cards.
00:43:25.000 Pilot program.
00:43:26.000 That's the first action of business.
00:43:28.000 Donald Trump gets in and he's like, we're gonna open the border!
00:43:30.000 Let everybody in!
00:43:31.000 And the Democrats are immediately like, we got a bill through Congress and no more border!
00:43:35.000 And he's like, I guess I have to sign it!
00:43:36.000 And then he signs it and then he's like, We're gonna send all our troops to to Iran like no no we can't do that yeah Trump's a fascist like oh geez I guess I got okay no troops to Iran.
00:43:46.000 That really might be the only way to do it because the Republicans even when we had he had Congress and Senate in that first two years not much was done and the Democrats do mobilize you gotta trick them.
00:43:55.000 Do you feel like there's been a changing of the guards in the House and in the Senate with the Republicans that are there?
00:44:02.000 I feel like after the last year, we've really seen a sort of clashing of old and new, I would say.
00:44:08.000 It just seems like it's fractured, like it hasn't coalesced or anything.
00:44:12.000 Just like, you know, right-wing Twitter at times, you know, there's no one movement.
00:44:16.000 Well, certainly in the Senate you have Mitch McConnell and he doesn't, I don't imagine he'll be sticking around if Trump wins again.
00:44:23.000 I think that's when he bows out and then it's up to who?
00:44:27.000 John Thune?
00:44:28.000 John Barrasso?
00:44:29.000 Who else is in leadership?
00:44:31.000 I think we're just, it's unfortunate, but conservatives are too demure.
00:44:38.000 Across the board.
00:44:39.000 Like, the left will line up as enemies to whoever is declared the enemy.
00:44:45.000 You, like, some leftist activist can come out and say, I think X is a bad group of people, and they all just immediately fall in line.
00:44:52.000 You literally have police officers guarding criminal aliens occupying a building, and I got tons of thin blue line or, like, back to blue guys being like, no, I defend the cops, and I'm like, You know, the cops are the ones who are burning your neighborhoods down, and you're smiling, and saying it's not their fault.
00:45:08.000 Okay, dude.
00:45:10.000 I don't know, like culturally I see a bunch of victories, Bud Light sponsoring Shane Gillis is hilarious, and I do think we're winning, but, you know, it is a challenge, and perhaps we could mitigate some of the damage if we had more balls, and more willingness to call out bad people.
00:45:25.000 So Jan 6 wasn't the right play?
00:45:27.000 Is that what you're thinking?
00:45:28.000 Yeah, definitely not.
00:45:29.000 I think the right play is like, Every single conservative should be completely aligned with, if police officers are facilitating human smuggling, they are opposed to those police officers.
00:45:41.000 But there's so many people on the right who are like, no, I don't blame the guys who are committing the crime, it's the person who told them to do it.
00:45:48.000 And I'm just like, both of them, I don't care.
00:45:51.000 But like, if we went, if these cops in Boston knew that if they were filmed doing this, they would never eat another hot dog again, they would never be able to get a hotel room, no one would make them a cheeseburger, they wouldn't do it.
00:46:06.000 And so what the left does, this is funny, When these cops are in New York and the left is trying to protest, the left will film them and be like, yeah, we're going to film you.
00:46:14.000 The cops are like, I don't care.
00:46:16.000 You're fringe nobodies.
00:46:17.000 You are not my community.
00:46:18.000 I don't care.
00:46:20.000 If the conservative back the blue people did it, they'd start sweating bullets.
00:46:24.000 Because these are the people who actually live in your neighborhoods.
00:46:26.000 And you're going to walk in and be like, aren't you that guy that I saw helping criminal aliens take over some town?
00:46:32.000 You think you can eat food in my restaurant?
00:46:34.000 Oh, out of here, dude.
00:46:35.000 Yeah.
00:46:36.000 But conservatives are like, I don't blame you, it's not your fault.
00:46:38.000 Yeah, there will always be that big, that deep respect for law and order, and it's kind of baked in, conservatives.
00:46:42.000 But, but, like, but right, but understand what you're saying.
00:46:45.000 You're saying that conservatives are not actually respecting law and order.
00:46:49.000 They are defending criminals because the criminal has a badge.
00:46:52.000 And I want to make sure this is clear.
00:46:54.000 I'm not talking about a cop who's like walking down the street and he's like, break up the fight, guys.
00:46:57.000 I'm talking about cops who were ordered to facilitate human smuggling and they're like, you got it, boss!
00:47:01.000 And they went there and they're like, I'm gonna guard a bunch of criminal aliens who have taken this community center from these people because my boss told me to do it.
00:47:06.000 And I'm like, well, you're a criminal.
00:47:08.000 You have broken the law.
00:47:10.000 You should be arrested.
00:47:11.000 I have no respect for you.
00:47:12.000 I think a lot of them are afraid to sound like, you know, rioters during BLM, and they're overcompensating for how that looked, you know, when that whole thing played out.
00:47:19.000 But then I would remind people, look at the cops who went in and ripped people out of stadiums that weren't wearing a mask.
00:47:24.000 You know, there was a sheriff, a woman was in Minnesota, and she tried opening her cafe during lockdown, and so they put out a warrant for arrest or whatever, so she fled to Iowa, and the sheriffs hunted her down.
00:47:37.000 They were like, we're gonna make sure this old thing suffers!
00:47:40.000 Man, there were so many instances where cops were just brutalizing regular- like, my favorite is the New Jersey cops.
00:47:46.000 A woman was live streaming.
00:47:48.000 She had a store.
00:47:50.000 And she was live, so she would sell things.
00:47:52.000 You could come in and buy stuff, it was like a resale shop.
00:47:54.000 When they shut everybody down, they're all closed.
00:47:56.000 So what does she do?
00:47:57.000 She started live streaming on Facebook saying, here are the things that I have, let me film them for you and you can order them on the site and I'll ship them to you.
00:48:05.000 Cops went to her store and said, ma'am, you need to close your store.
00:48:09.000 And she goes, what are you talking about?
00:48:09.000 I am closed.
00:48:10.000 They're like, no, stop filming and stop trying to sell things.
00:48:13.000 Proving it was never about the pandemic.
00:48:16.000 These were just, Well, the other weird thing that came out in the beginning of the pandemic was that domestic violence rates, I cannot talk right now, domestic violence rates jumped significantly.
00:48:31.000 And so there are people that would have maybe needed law enforcement's help that probably didn't get it.
00:48:39.000 But then there were businesses that were just trying to find a way to make money, potentially keep their employees on, and they got It's their livelihood, right?
00:48:48.000 So the store owners, when your livelihood is threatened, that's when you're ready to just civil disobedience.
00:48:56.000 That's when the conservatives are like, hey, don't threaten my livelihood.
00:49:01.000 You know, maybe that's what it takes for the conservatives to turn on law enforcement.
00:49:05.000 But we didn't say there are other things that are going on.
00:49:07.000 Like, because we locked everyone in their homes, there are other social issues that are coming up, and we should maybe use law enforcement to help with those things.
00:49:17.000 Instead, it was like, how do we make everyone hurt economically?
00:49:20.000 And then we had a lot of people just have to quit or were fired for not getting the shot.
00:49:25.000 And so who was left, you know?
00:49:27.000 I want to turn things around.
00:49:29.000 We'll get a little too dark.
00:49:31.000 Too black Billy.
00:49:32.000 Let's go white Bill.
00:49:32.000 Check this out.
00:49:33.000 Wall Street Journal.
00:49:34.000 Big news ladies and gentlemen.
00:49:35.000 Joe Rogan gets new Spotify deal worth up to 250 million dollars.
00:49:40.000 Hit show to be distributed broadly including on YouTube rather than exclusively on audio streaming service.
00:49:45.000 Alright.
00:49:46.000 Where we at?
00:49:47.000 This deal is an upfront minimum guarantee.
00:49:49.000 What does that mean?
00:49:50.000 It means Spotify told Joe Rogan, here's what we're going to do, boss.
00:49:53.000 We're going to take your show.
00:49:54.000 We're going to put on all platforms, every single platform imaginable.
00:49:57.000 We're going to pay you $250 million upfront guarantee.
00:50:02.000 But, we get to sell ads on all your content on every platform, and you gotta pay us back that $250, after that, we do a rev share.
00:50:11.000 So, his original deal was, he had an exclusive deal, this is my understanding from Wall Street Journal, he had an exclusive deal where they said, we're gonna pay you what was like $200 million, so that your show is only on Spotify.
00:50:22.000 Many people were speculating, I was talking to people in the media industry, and they were like, you think Joe's gonna re-up this deal?
00:50:28.000 And now we got the news.
00:50:29.000 He's coming back to YouTube.
00:50:30.000 He's coming back to all platforms with Spotify in control of how the ads are placed and generated.
00:50:35.000 Because Spotify, I believe... I believe Spotify owns Megafone?
00:50:40.000 Someone wanna, you wanna Google that real quick?
00:50:42.000 And I'm pretty sure they do.
00:50:43.000 And that is basically YouTube's ad network, how you can auto-place ads.
00:50:48.000 This is what Megaphone does.
00:50:51.000 So if you're gonna like put a podcast, upload a podcast, you put it there, then you can place ads just like on YouTube.
00:50:56.000 So Spotify is basically going broad and they're saying like, we want your content everywhere.
00:50:59.000 The reason this is good, demonetization is no longer a factor.
00:51:03.000 Joe Rogan, in the news all the time, hosts a lot of politically spicy things and edgy things.
00:51:11.000 Spotify with this bet, it's not so much that they're predicting something,
00:51:16.000 but they're setting something.
00:51:17.000 Spotify is a juggernaut.
00:51:19.000 If they say Joe Rogan is working with us and we're gonna sell ads on his content,
00:51:27.000 demonetization is out the window.
00:51:28.000 YouTube is not going to demonetize Joe Rogan's show when he has Alex Jones on, because Spotify is going to be like, that's my money.
00:51:36.000 And Google, my understanding, is a shareholder to some degree, or there's some connection there between the two.
00:51:41.000 I think Google might have the majority or something like that, I don't know.
00:51:43.000 Long story short, even if that's not the case, Spotify does not want to lose money.
00:51:48.000 They don't think they're going to lose money.
00:51:49.000 And they're not going to let these big companies take their money from them by taking Joe Rogan down.
00:51:54.000 Which means we all get to ride the coattails of Joe Rogan's show.
00:51:58.000 It's not like you're going to get absolute free speech on most platforms.
00:52:00.000 But Joe Rogan's hosted controversial guests and the media's lost their mind over it.
00:52:06.000 Now Spotify's putting money behind it on YouTube and all these other platforms, on every platform.
00:52:10.000 That's like we win, dude.
00:52:11.000 Yeah, this is like the inverse of Jon Stewart coming back to The Daily Show.
00:52:16.000 That seems like a desperate play for them to install this guy to deceptively edit reality and try to just take the election.
00:52:23.000 But this is like a big cultural win.
00:52:25.000 This is very impactful, especially that he's gonna be back on YouTube.
00:52:28.000 During election.
00:52:29.000 Will it be election year?
00:52:30.000 Do we know when this starts?
00:52:31.000 I believe it's now.
00:52:32.000 I mean, I don't know when they're going to... When was it?
00:52:34.000 It was the end of 2020.
00:52:35.000 They were like January of 2021 or something.
00:52:38.000 He moved over.
00:52:39.000 Wow.
00:52:40.000 So it's about time for his contracts to expire.
00:52:42.000 Spotify announced in 2020 that it was going to acquire Megaphone for $235 million.
00:52:49.000 Wow.
00:52:49.000 And then it looks like the deal didn't finalize for a little while, but I'm pretty sure it went through, are you sure?
00:52:56.000 It is finalized now, it just looks like it took a year or two to be finalized.
00:53:00.000 So how does this affect the sort of the left-wing industry of getting advertisers to boycott personalities and then somehow that chokes off their revenue?
00:53:11.000 Yeah, I'm not really sure.
00:53:13.000 Well, it's basically, it's the end, man.
00:53:16.000 You think Spotify, as a major player in this space, is gonna tolerate that?
00:53:22.000 They're gonna go after Joe Rogan, Google's gonna start going, and Spotify's gonna say, don't touch it.
00:53:27.000 Because that's their money now, it's not.
00:53:29.000 Yep.
00:53:30.000 You think they'll listen?
00:53:31.000 Yeah, Google... Let's see, I don't know if this is... I pulled it up.
00:53:35.000 In the spring of 2019, Google announced the acquisition of the world-renowned Swedish music streaming service Spotify.
00:53:40.000 Google believed the acquisition was the world's most popular service.
00:53:42.000 Blah, blah, blah.
00:53:45.000 Did it actually?
00:53:45.000 They considered a transaction amount to be quite acceptable.
00:53:48.000 Spotify and Google will remain as two independent companies in 2023.
00:53:50.000 Okay, so it's not.
00:53:52.000 But I think, basically, when you have major industries saying, we endorse this, Look at Dave Chappelle's comedy.
00:53:59.000 You look at Bud Light sponsoring Shane Gillis.
00:54:01.000 It's just like, we're winning the culture.
00:54:04.000 And the culture is what leads to the politics, like Donald Trump getting elected is a component of that.
00:54:10.000 When you look at all the things that the left is doing, the Democrats are doing, it's like they want to burn the country down, incite violence, because they're desperate.
00:54:18.000 It's like you were saying about Ted Bundy.
00:54:19.000 Like, the walls are closing in, man.
00:54:21.000 We're winning everything.
00:54:23.000 Do you think we'll see a Trump on Rogan on YouTube?
00:54:27.000 I don't know, man.
00:54:28.000 It would be epic.
00:54:30.000 It'd be epic.
00:54:30.000 I mean, you know Biden's not gonna do it.
00:54:31.000 He can't sit in one place and talk for two hours.
00:54:34.000 His face would fall off.
00:54:35.000 This is one of the things I've started to start following just for my own amusement.
00:54:38.000 Like, he did the national prayer breakfast earlier this day, and he spoke for 10 minutes.
00:54:43.000 And the year before, he spoke for 20.
00:54:46.000 So it really is dwindling how long he speaks.
00:54:48.000 So he really, I mean, we've talked about this with the people who are running for office right now.
00:54:53.000 Vivek was really good about this.
00:54:55.000 RFK is on the podcast circuit.
00:54:58.000 They're kind of embracing these alternative platforms.
00:55:00.000 But this format of just talking for several hours is not natural to everybody.
00:55:05.000 And I really don't think it's natural to Joe Biden.
00:55:08.000 Not even on the people who are running for the conservative ticket, like DeSantis and Haley couldn't do a podcast.
00:55:14.000 But Trump is a complete natural for it.
00:55:16.000 I mean, he goes long on his speeches just because he wants to anyways.
00:55:20.000 I mean, he could talk for three hours by himself.
00:55:22.000 Him and Rogan eating Trump steaks.
00:55:23.000 Just hanging out, having a good time.
00:55:25.000 It'd be great.
00:55:25.000 Trump steaks.
00:55:26.000 Yeah.
00:55:26.000 Let's do it.
00:55:27.000 I'm pretty sure Trump steaks still exist, right?
00:55:29.000 I have no idea.
00:55:29.000 I thought they were done, but they could not.
00:55:31.000 This is the thing about this.
00:55:32.000 This is what really, you know what?
00:55:34.000 You know what helped me be aware of the lies about Donald Trump in the 2015 16 cycle.
00:55:40.000 I'm at Fusion in Durham.
00:55:45.000 It's in Miami.
00:55:46.000 It's in Doral.
00:55:47.000 It's like right next to Trump Doral Golf Resort.
00:55:50.000 And so if I'm in New York and everyone's saying, oh, Trump did this Trump is that I'm like,
00:55:52.000 wow, that's crazy.
00:55:53.000 I'm like, you know, I'm and I'm and I'm I'm going on the ground.
00:55:55.000 I'm meeting people.
00:55:56.000 I'm like, well, that one doesn't seem to make sense.
00:55:57.000 But then I go to Trump Doral.
00:56:00.000 Trump steaks available on the menu.
00:56:02.000 Trump bottled water and Trump magazine.
00:56:04.000 I'm fairly certain it was all there.
00:56:06.000 And I went, oh.
00:56:07.000 Trump ice?
00:56:08.000 Was that still there?
00:56:08.000 His companies are like McDonald's makes their own mayonnaise.
00:56:12.000 It's cheaper for Trump to make a product internally than it is to pay a premium to have another company do it.
00:56:19.000 If Trump gets his stakes from a big state company, he's gonna be paying for their, you know, 10% margin or whatever.
00:56:25.000 If he does it all on his own, as a Trump stake, he saves 10% when he sources the materials for his hotels and his resorts.
00:56:32.000 Hotels need, uh...
00:56:34.000 Bottled water?
00:56:35.000 That's kind of a microcosm of America First, right?
00:56:38.000 Always buy from Trump.
00:56:40.000 Yeah, but then the media kept saying that his companies are bankrupt, and they were like, you can't even buy Trump steaks, where are they at?
00:56:45.000 And I was like, huh, they're right here.
00:56:47.000 Along with the Taco Bell.
00:56:49.000 That's right, the Taco Bowl.
00:56:50.000 I wonder if Trump Steaks are still a thing.
00:56:52.000 No, Trump Steaks are unfortunately not a thing.
00:56:53.000 They stopped in 2007, which is a pain to say.
00:56:56.000 Really?
00:56:56.000 But I'm sure they're still on the menu.
00:56:58.000 I'm sure, like, if you get a steak at Mar-a-Lago, there has to be some vertical integration going on there.
00:57:03.000 There wouldn't not be, so...
00:57:05.000 No, this is- Also, isn't it not- I feel like it'd be normal if people shut down branches of their business.
00:57:10.000 Like, this happens all the time.
00:57:11.000 The fact that he even built a Trump Steak brand is hilarious in the first place.
00:57:16.000 Is he not gonna get credit for that?
00:57:17.000 Trump Steaks.
00:57:18.000 I don't know, Tim.
00:57:19.000 You might have something here.
00:57:20.000 Tim Steaks.
00:57:21.000 They had Trump water and I brought Trump water back to the office in New York, because they were all saying that Trump water went out of business and that Trump was bankrupt, all these companies.
00:57:32.000 And they loved running this line where they were like, Donald Trump has been bankrupt five times.
00:57:36.000 How is he still rich?
00:57:37.000 And, well, it's because the banks are propping up.
00:57:39.000 It's because he had 500 companies.
00:57:40.000 So 495 were fine.
00:57:42.000 And the Trump organization was fine.
00:57:44.000 So I come back, I'm like, oh, here's the Trump water.
00:57:46.000 I'm like, where'd you get this?
00:57:46.000 And I'm like, from Trump Hotel, like literally next to the office in Miami.
00:57:50.000 They were like, what?
00:57:51.000 Oh my goodness, people have no idea what's going on in the world.
00:57:54.000 God, look at that picture.
00:57:55.000 I just want, like, a SkyMall equivalent, but it's Trump-related products.
00:57:59.000 Like, just TrumpMall, and he just sells you, like, all kinds of random things.
00:58:02.000 Those have, like, popped up independently all around the country, you know?
00:58:06.000 You'll see, like, this, like, mainstream wasteland, and then all of a sudden you'll see a store that's just, like, THE TRUMP STORE.
00:58:13.000 There's a lot of them in Florida.
00:58:14.000 You'll see them in, like, the middle of the country, but you'll just be driving along and then you'll see just all of a sudden just a window plastered with Trump paraphernalia.
00:58:22.000 It's like a souvenir shop for, like, the part of America that's voting for him.
00:58:26.000 Like, this is amazing.
00:58:27.000 This is crazy.
00:58:28.000 Look at this.
00:58:28.000 In the Wikipedia for Trump steaks, it says, in August 2015, Time magazine included Trump steaks on a list of Trump business failures.
00:58:34.000 In December 2015, during the 2016 presidential campaign, a super PAC supporting John Kasich produced an ad mocking Trump steaks.
00:58:40.000 Blah blah blah.
00:58:41.000 I don't care.
00:58:41.000 Dude.
00:58:42.000 I should totally make a list of my business failures.
00:58:45.000 There's a lot.
00:58:46.000 I once worked on an app to facilitate political donations on Facebook for politicians.
00:58:52.000 And this was like 2009 or 10 or something, very early days.
00:58:57.000 It was like the app days of Facebook.
00:58:59.000 And I was working with some, like, how would anyone ever find out, like, we worked on a project, it went nowhere, we fizzled out.
00:59:05.000 We had like an early prototype that couldn't really, you know, then we were like, ah, we don't know, there's too much regulation, let's do something else.
00:59:10.000 The amount of things Trump's probably worked on, the funny thing is, they mock him for his failures.
00:59:15.000 It's a perfect example of who they are.
00:59:18.000 They have no failures.
00:59:19.000 They think that's a good thing.
00:59:20.000 But they never tried to do anything.
00:59:22.000 They're averse to risk.
00:59:23.000 They don't want to fail.
00:59:24.000 They're averse to any work.
00:59:26.000 Yes, this is true.
00:59:28.000 That's why they like the pods.
00:59:31.000 I mean, look, let's consider this.
00:59:35.000 We put them in the pods.
00:59:37.000 They don't mind.
00:59:38.000 We give them the bugs.
00:59:39.000 They also don't mind.
00:59:40.000 Who's complaining?
00:59:42.000 I don't got to eat the bugs and I'm not going to live in the pod, but they can.
00:59:45.000 I mean, that's what they're doing.
00:59:46.000 Give them the new Apple headset.
00:59:48.000 Yeah.
00:59:49.000 This is my life plan, right?
00:59:51.000 Like just let them go and I'll stay here.
00:59:53.000 And if that's what you guys want to do, cool, cool, cool.
00:59:55.000 But I don't want to.
00:59:56.000 In that direction, like the trend of a lot of people growing up, not having kids, they're just going to fizzle out.
01:00:01.000 They're gonna plug into the Neuralink and they're gonna go to their micro-universes where they're, you know, the demon slayer and, you know, they got all the busty women jumping up and down around them.
01:00:10.000 It's funny, because they don't like Elon right now, but they also didn't like Trump, but it was Trump's vaccine, but now they love the vaccine, so at some point they'll probably like the Neuralink even though they didn't like Elon.
01:00:19.000 It's Elon's metaverse.
01:00:20.000 Because that's how they, that's their logic, yeah.
01:00:22.000 No, but look how many of these liberal people have hidden their blue checks on Twitter.
01:00:26.000 Oh, true.
01:00:27.000 Why sign up for the service just to pretend like you didn't sign up for it, you know what I mean?
01:00:32.000 Can't give Elon money, yeah.
01:00:33.000 What a genius move by Elon to just hide that, though.
01:00:35.000 It's like the best move ever.
01:00:36.000 To give him the option, you can hide your verification page.
01:00:38.000 Great move, great move.
01:00:39.000 That's crazy.
01:00:39.000 You want to be a coward?
01:00:40.000 You can do it!
01:00:41.000 I think these people are going to line up.
01:00:43.000 The left is going to line up to jump into the matrix.
01:00:46.000 With smiles on their faces.
01:00:48.000 It's their entire MO.
01:00:50.000 And they're going to advocate their kids do it.
01:00:52.000 And they're going to... You know what?
01:00:53.000 You're better off... Ignorance is bliss.
01:00:55.000 They're going to be eating those pretty juicy steaks.
01:00:58.000 How could you be depressed?
01:01:00.000 Right?
01:01:01.000 A clinical hormonal depression, I suppose, where you just don't understand why you feel so bad.
01:01:08.000 Your body doesn't produce the correct amount of serotonin.
01:01:10.000 Yeah, or something like that.
01:01:11.000 But for the average person, their listlessness and depression... I love... The funny thing about... Lauren Southern had this tweet where she said, before we give you SSRIs, you have to go to the gym twice a week or something.
01:01:21.000 And everyone's like, you don't understand some people.
01:01:24.000 And she's like, I'm not talking about people who are immobile.
01:01:26.000 She's like, if you have the ability to go to the gym, go start working out.
01:01:29.000 It releases endorphins.
01:01:31.000 It makes you feel better.
01:01:32.000 What's going to happen is someone's going to be like, I'm depressed.
01:01:34.000 And I'm like, have you considered plugging in a neural link and being a mini God in your own universe?
01:01:38.000 My friend Joe Allen, who's with The War Room, went to some tech convention recently and he posted a video of a new type of metaverse thing where you can plug in and you're like a little girl.
01:01:48.000 I'm like, yeah, it's like they were like, it was like, I know, I know.
01:01:53.000 And there was like a feed that you put on your, like a thing on your mouth that I think Wait, wait, wait, start over.
01:01:59.000 An adult man went to a convention for adults, including adult men.
01:02:03.000 It's all tech, for all new tech.
01:02:05.000 And there was one, like, booth sharing some new tech of, like, a Metaverse thing where you plug in and you have the headset on and a mouth thing over you so you can scream or be loud and no one can hear you outside.
01:02:16.000 And brought you into a, like, you are a little girl.
01:02:19.000 And the character on the screen was, like, a young girl.
01:02:21.000 So, like, they could sell it as, like, look, the transgender surgeries are even cheaper in the Metaverse.
01:02:26.000 Well, I suppose it's like if someone made a video game and it's like some old dude plays it, that's kind of creepy, but I'm not going to blame someone who made a game with a character.
01:02:36.000 You know what I mean?
01:02:36.000 I think it's weird because that's promoting like a lot of people can go into the metaverse and now be these things that they want to be.
01:02:43.000 I think that's morally- Dude, this exists already.
01:02:47.000 It exists already.
01:02:48.000 So during lockdowns, we still have the Oculus.
01:02:51.000 Nobody uses it.
01:02:52.000 But, uh, shoutouts to Space Pirate Robot Game.
01:02:55.000 You ever play that one?
01:02:56.000 No, that game is amazing.
01:02:57.000 You're, uh, it's a VR game for the Oculus, and you're staying on this big platform, and there's robots flying at you.
01:03:04.000 Oh, I've played this game!
01:03:05.000 Yeah!
01:03:05.000 It's so fun!
01:03:06.000 And you have, like, different kinds of guns, or an energy sword, and a shield, and so I just love whacking the robots.
01:03:12.000 It's so fun.
01:03:13.000 But!
01:03:14.000 There's also a chat room function, where you go into this virtual reality chat room, and there's like a rabbit walking around, and there's like the Mad Hatter, and there's just like, you know, a crocodile dude, and one guy's a carrot, and they're walking around, and the guy's like, I identify as a carrot!
01:03:31.000 You know, like, no one really- I'm kidding, no one really said that.
01:03:33.000 Oh, so they're not NPCs, they're- Oh, it's humans!
01:03:36.000 It's human beings in the game, walking around in their VR space.
01:03:38.000 It's inanimate objects.
01:03:39.000 And you can like, point the stick and then teleport, because you can only move so far.
01:03:42.000 But this is what I was saying, like, In the future, you're gonna be in a business meeting, and you're gonna like, it's gonna be indistinguishable from reality.
01:03:50.000 You're gonna put on your headset or whatever, plug in your Neuralink, fall back, and then you're walking into the office, you sit down at the table, and you got Mario to your left, you got the Incredible Hulk over here, a giant cupcake with a smiley face.
01:04:02.000 You don't even need an electric car to get there.
01:04:04.000 No, you just teleport, and the cupcake is gonna look at you with a big ol' smile and go, Okay, let's get into the TPS reports.
01:04:10.000 Our sales were down last week.
01:04:12.000 Nobody wants to buy anything.
01:04:13.000 New guy's gonna walk in looking just like a human being, and he's gonna be the only one.
01:04:17.000 He's gonna be like, am I in the wrong room?
01:04:18.000 I'm like, no, no, you're here.
01:04:19.000 This is Jim.
01:04:19.000 He's been emailing you.
01:04:20.000 He identifies as a cupcake.
01:04:22.000 Ah, okay.
01:04:23.000 Well, okay, great, yeah.
01:04:25.000 My brother is an eclair.
01:04:26.000 Like, oh, really?
01:04:28.000 You guys should talk sometime.
01:04:29.000 You've been getting a lot of comments.
01:04:30.000 Yeah, it's like, none of the cupcakes, like actually eclairs, are very offensive to us.
01:04:34.000 It's like, oh, I didn't know, I'm sorry.
01:04:36.000 I mean I do think that there will be people who are interested in this and in some ways this sounds more entertaining than like endless zoom meetings if you work from home but I just think it'll ultimately be one of these things that like really splits people and I think to your point from earlier like people are already kind of dividing up in the way they live we have very separate lifestyles going on people who choose not to have children and are maybe more like more into pursuing their specific interests the metaverse might be a great place because it makes traveling cheaper because you just have to plug in you don't have to buy a plane ticket it makes you know something that might physically risk you like if you wanted to be a great uh skydiver right you don't actually have to do it you can just get the thrill of doing it virtually whereas there'll be people who are like no i want to talk to people in real life and i want to have kids and i want to
01:05:21.000 Bear responsibilities in a way that you clearly don't want to.
01:05:23.000 They'll just stop interacting.
01:05:25.000 I saw this reel on Instagram where someone was saying, like, when you move different cities and, like, one group of friends is talking about settling down, having kids, and the other one is like, I'm doing peyote this week and I'm doing whatever, like, there are just people who split and they do different things and they live different ways and they'll stop intersecting at some point.
01:05:40.000 Do we take away their right to vote or run for office if they're in a metaverse?
01:05:43.000 Only net taxpayers can vote.
01:05:44.000 Problem solved.
01:05:45.000 All right, there we go.
01:05:45.000 That solves all problems.
01:05:47.000 If you're a net taxpayer, you can vote.
01:05:49.000 Have a nice day.
01:05:50.000 These door dashes will just come out ahead because they will be delivering food to all of the people plugged into the Metaverse.
01:05:56.000 Why can't you let those robots do those little robots?
01:05:58.000 You cannot feed people.
01:06:00.000 I see the Metaverse is like a food tube.
01:06:02.000 Like the Matrix got all this wrong.
01:06:04.000 They needed it because there's no conflict without it.
01:06:06.000 But the premise of the Matrix is that they gave humans paradise and humans rejected it because humans need conflict.
01:06:11.000 But there's no reason to create one Matrix.
01:06:15.000 Each individual person could be in their own Matrix Experiencing their own conflict, and they would never have rebellion.
01:06:21.000 The machines would control everyone because you'd be in your own universe, and they could make the universe whatever you wanted it to be.
01:06:27.000 Kind of like a Truman Show, more like.
01:06:29.000 Sort of.
01:06:29.000 Yeah.
01:06:30.000 But no one's really watching you, it's just to control you.
01:06:32.000 And you put yourself there.
01:06:33.000 Self-imposed Truman Show.
01:06:34.000 And what if, uh, what if, so simulation theory, what if it's prison?
01:06:41.000 Like, if we get to that point of Neuralink, someone commits a crime, they're gonna say, you are sentenced to live a life in this way through Neuralink.
01:06:52.000 And so, you know... Right, they take out your happy Neuralink, and then Neuralink, and then they put in the bad one.
01:06:58.000 Well, no, they don't have to change anything.
01:07:00.000 Neuralink is an implant.
01:07:01.000 They just program it.
01:07:02.000 You just wirelessly connect to it.
01:07:04.000 Yeah, so some guy is driving his car, and he's drunk He's like oh, and then he crashes and he kills some teenager, and they're like you're going to prison He's like no, and they're like it We're going to make you live a life as a parent who loses a child in this way And you will live in them and that they'll be your punishment and the sentence is only like a week long but they put the guy in the pod crying and They turn the thing on and then he experiences 70 years of life as growing up, having a family, raising a kid, kids killed by a drunk driver, he has to live through it all, and then he ages, gets old, dies, and then wakes up in the pod like... Would we as a society accept that as a punishment, you think?
01:07:43.000 The problem with the United States is that we went a little crazy with the no cruel unusual punishment thing.
01:07:50.000 And, uh, it's a good thing.
01:07:52.000 But I mean, we went a little crazy with it in that, like, now there's literally no... Instead of actually trying to figure out ways to create deterrence, we just say, put them in a box, and we've created gang hangouts.
01:08:02.000 We've, like, just centralized gang headquarters.
01:08:04.000 They're just all together.
01:08:05.000 Yeah, and it's like...
01:08:08.000 It is good, we said no cruel and unusual punishment.
01:08:11.000 The problem is, we need to be more specific about what it means to be cruel and unusual.
01:08:15.000 Like, our punishments are completely uniform, for the most part, and it's, you go into a box, and then, like, people are getting raped in there.
01:08:22.000 Is that not cruel and unusual?
01:08:24.000 It certainly is, but we don't care, so we've, like, it's made this uniform thing, whereas, like, There are means of creating penalties for crimes that are better deterrents.
01:08:34.000 And I'm not going to list a bunch, but I'll give you an example.
01:08:37.000 And I think it might be like Switzerland.
01:08:39.000 If you're speeding, you have to pay a percentage fine.
01:08:43.000 So in the United States, you pay a dollar fine.
01:08:45.000 I think it's Switzerland, I'm not sure, but there's countries in Europe where it's like, okay, your fine is, you know, 0.5% of your yearly income based on your past year's taxes.
01:08:53.000 And that's getting kicked in the balls.
01:08:55.000 If you're making, you know, 20 million bucks, you're like, oh man, that's a fine.
01:09:00.000 But what happens is, like right now we're like, nope, everybody's got to pay 50 bucks for a parking ticket.
01:09:05.000 It's like, okay, for a lot of people, that's just paying for parking.
01:09:08.000 So like Wrigley Field in Chicago, for instance, people, everyone parks illegally.
01:09:12.000 Because it's like, I'll get a hundred dollar ticket, cost a hundred bucks to park.
01:09:16.000 Yeah.
01:09:17.000 And so they're double parked.
01:09:18.000 I remember because I used to live there two blocks away and people would double park down our street, blocking our cars in.
01:09:24.000 And it's like, we got to get them towed, get them towed.
01:09:27.000 And then what happens when the people come out, they pay 200 bucks to get the car out of the impound lot, which is not that far away.
01:09:31.000 And they're like, okay.
01:09:32.000 They're like worth it.
01:09:33.000 Yep.
01:09:34.000 Because you can't park anywhere else.
01:09:35.000 Right.
01:09:36.000 It's like you're driving down Clark and there's a guy waving his flag.
01:09:38.000 Country air service.
01:09:40.000 Right?
01:09:40.000 And now you know where your car is at.
01:09:41.000 You're like, ah, I just want to come out and my car will be safe.
01:09:42.000 It'll be safe in the impound.
01:09:44.000 No one's going to break in or steal anything.
01:09:45.000 So perhaps I'm phrasing it wrong.
01:09:48.000 Like, we should not allow cruel and unusual punishment, but we should allow for variety in how we handle crimes.
01:09:54.000 Yeah, this is what I found interesting about the nitrogen hypoxia execution that took- it was the first one ever on January 25th, and the whole argument was that this guy, Kenneth Eugene Smith, who's in Alabama, dead now, he had- they couldn't do a lethal injection in 2022, I think.
01:10:14.000 And part of it was he had said, you're not going to be able to get a vein and it's going to be uncomfortable for me and this is cruel and you guys shouldn't make me do this.
01:10:19.000 And eventually that was true.
01:10:21.000 It didn't happen.
01:10:22.000 Alabama stayed executions for three months.
01:10:24.000 And during that time he was like, I want nitrogen hypoxia.
01:10:27.000 That's what I want.
01:10:28.000 And Alabama is one of three states where it's legal.
01:10:30.000 Then later he was like, no, there are too many risks.
01:10:33.000 Like I don't want to do this.
01:10:35.000 And ultimately, you know, legal proceedings, the UN, there was a commission there being like, it is, it's human experimentation.
01:10:41.000 You can't do this.
01:10:42.000 And when he died, you know, you had some outlets that ran it that were like, it took 22 minutes to happen.
01:10:47.000 He struggled.
01:10:48.000 Well, also, there are reports that like, he refused.
01:10:51.000 He held his breath.
01:10:52.000 He didn't want to breathe.
01:10:53.000 The nitrogen is coming in.
01:10:54.000 Just like during the lethal injection, there are reports that he, at one point, you have to clench your fist and he wouldn't do it.
01:11:00.000 Like, ultimately, this person did not want to die, which I sympathize with, except you were on death row.
01:11:05.000 He did not want to die quickly.
01:11:07.000 He wanted to make it as difficult as possible.
01:11:08.000 Like, you're on death row for a murder.
01:11:10.000 So you knew this one was coming.
01:11:12.000 Only PC America is going to do like, oh, how safe is your execution?
01:11:15.000 But this whole conversation is like, is nitrogen hypoxia less cruel, more cruel?
01:11:20.000 Is it okay to have other options?
01:11:21.000 Because if you can't get a vein on someone, it takes several hours to try and find one.
01:11:25.000 You ultimately call it off.
01:11:26.000 That seems way more cruel to me.
01:11:27.000 But what about just like regular old hypoxia?
01:11:31.000 Right.
01:11:32.000 It's nitrogen?
01:11:33.000 Nitrogen deprives the oxygen from your body.
01:11:35.000 And so you just fall asleep or what?
01:11:36.000 You fall asleep and then eventually you go into organ failure, but you don't feel it because you're asleep.
01:11:40.000 Oh, okay.
01:11:40.000 What's wrong with it?
01:11:41.000 Yeah.
01:11:41.000 He said that if anything were to go wrong, I could be a vegetable, I could risk a stroke, which is like, there are risks to lethal injection too.
01:11:47.000 And then one of his, there were lots of things that came up at last minute resistance.
01:11:51.000 He had a spiritual advisor who filed a complaint saying, Alabama's made me sign this waiver that if anything goes wrong, if I'm within three feet of him, I risk exposure to this nitrogen and you're stopping me from being able to anoint him at death.
01:12:08.000 As we move forward with all of these new technologies and all of these new options, we have to ask along the way, is this experimentation?
01:12:14.000 Is it cruel and unusual?
01:12:15.000 But also you have to say, people who are delving into this sometimes are just doing it to avoid punishment.
01:12:20.000 Here's the harsh reality.
01:12:22.000 In Singapore, I think it's six canings.
01:12:25.000 You get caned six times.
01:12:30.000 It's like a hard giant bamboo stick.
01:12:33.000 It's not fun at all.
01:12:35.000 If you litter, they beat you.
01:12:37.000 And so nobody litters.
01:12:39.000 Nobody chews gum.
01:12:40.000 Do they do it publicly?
01:12:41.000 No, it's not public.
01:12:42.000 It's not public.
01:12:43.000 It's a private thing.
01:12:44.000 I'm against the state being allowed to kill people.
01:12:48.000 And so is one of my favorite writers.
01:12:50.000 Albert Camus is someone I love, his writing.
01:12:52.000 And he was also against the state having the ability to kill people.
01:12:55.000 However, he made an argument in the essay Notes on a Guillotine that if we're going to do this, it needs to be very public to actually deter people from doing it instead of doing it I actually don't think the death penalty is a strong deterrent.
01:13:11.000 I think publicly beating someone while laughing at them would be.
01:13:15.000 Especially with a lot of criminals having this like, especially in Chicago, a lot of the criminals, they want respect.
01:13:21.000 Humiliating them in public would be a deterrent.
01:13:23.000 For sure.
01:13:23.000 I'm not saying I advocate for it.
01:13:24.000 I'm saying the guys that I know in the south side, if they were like, if you get caught stealing, we will put you in a stock and spank you.
01:13:33.000 And shame you.
01:13:34.000 And shame you and make you wear a diaper in public and take pictures and post it to the internet.
01:13:38.000 They'd be like, I ain't getting caught, dude.
01:13:39.000 I ain't doing that.
01:13:39.000 You're nuts.
01:13:40.000 Right.
01:13:40.000 I got a count on the brain, but she was, that's what she did in California when she was 18.
01:13:45.000 Spank people.
01:13:46.000 No.
01:13:46.000 Well, there was that Montel Williams stuff.
01:13:49.000 A little bit of trying to humiliate the work, having prison crews fight wildfires.
01:13:57.000 Well, that's slavery.
01:13:58.000 That's not humiliation.
01:13:59.000 They want that.
01:14:00.000 The people in the prisons ask for that duty because it gets them out.
01:14:03.000 They get to go out, they get to go on rides, they get paid a dollar an hour, but it's like, it's compelled servitude.
01:14:11.000 Right.
01:14:11.000 No, I'm saying like, I don't speak for everybody, but caning in public would be a tremendous deterrent.
01:14:20.000 I mean, there's a reason why we don't do it because it's so severe.
01:14:23.000 And I'm, again, not advocating for it, but that's the harsh reality is that places like Singapore, there's no gum on the ground.
01:14:28.000 People don't litter there because it's like, you will be beaten.
01:14:32.000 We used to put people in stocks here.
01:14:34.000 Yeah.
01:14:35.000 What happened to that?
01:14:36.000 Make stocks great again.
01:14:37.000 Make America stock again.
01:14:40.000 S-T-O-C-K.
01:14:41.000 Would you guys support Neuralink prisons?
01:14:45.000 No, I don't think real life is real life and you have to be punished in real life.
01:14:48.000 Yeah, I do too.
01:14:49.000 It's like waking up from a dream, you know, it will affect you for a day perhaps.
01:14:53.000 I also just don't trust Neuralink at all and so there's a level of I don't feel like I can, in good faith, put someone in Neuralink prison if I also don't trust Neuralink at all.
01:15:02.000 I will let Elon experiment on bad people.
01:15:06.000 Let's say you got somebody.
01:15:08.000 There's one group that tried that, there's bad.
01:15:11.000 Let's say you got somebody who, uh, he's 20 years old, and him and his buddies go into a bodega and armed robbery, steal from the store clerk, smash everything up, take all his money, ransack the place, and then leave.
01:15:29.000 They get caught later and he gets sentenced to four years in prison for the armed robbery.
01:15:37.000 His sentence is he'll be placed in a neural link where he will wake up with the memories of a store clerk owner and none of his past life and he will experience having his life savings and life destroyed in this moment and then after that moment, he wakes up realizing what he did and how they felt.
01:15:53.000 Kind of like what they were doing in Clockwork Orange, when they had the guy's eyes kept open and they're showing him all the footage.
01:16:00.000 Actually having him experience the life of it.
01:16:02.000 You're a guy who's saved up, you know, he's like, I'm working really hard, my wife is sick, I need to make money, and then you come in, smash something and destroy it all, and then they leave and you experience all of that suffering.
01:16:15.000 I guess one of the things that brings up for me is the idea, like, In the Neuralink, are you able to program someone's emotions?
01:16:23.000 Because if you don't feel the guilt, or if you don't feel empathy, really, then going into someone else's life and suffering, would you experience it in the same way?
01:16:31.000 No, that's the point.
01:16:32.000 You force them through that experience, and it's monitored and measured.
01:16:35.000 I'm just really worried about the amount of power who's controlling the Neuralink.
01:16:41.000 I'm just anti-Neuralink, I think, across the board.
01:16:43.000 Only for the left.
01:16:49.000 Yeah.
01:16:49.000 What if the prisoners are like, okay, you can do this one, or you can go into the Neuralink?
01:16:55.000 Like, do we want there to be options for people to choose how they're punished?
01:17:01.000 What if we just say, we're gonna send you, like, you committed a crime.
01:17:06.000 You can go to prison, regular real-life prison, for, like, okay, so it's a serious crime, it's a negligent homicide, you were drinking and driving, you killed two kids, you're gonna get ten years because it's your, it's your, like, third DUI, you weren't supposed to, you didn't have a license.
01:17:22.000 You're not someone who is, like, trying to go out and kill, but you've shown a pattern of behavior, and they say, what are you going to do?
01:17:27.000 We're going to lock you up for 15 years, 20 years, or Neuralink for life.
01:17:32.000 But, Neuralink happiness.
01:17:35.000 You can go into this machine, we remove you from society because you're a danger to society, you will live a normal, happy life where you will feel good, and you will cause no harm to anybody.
01:17:43.000 I guess that's the other question, like, is imprisonment about separating people from the population, or is it about rehabilitation?
01:17:49.000 Both.
01:17:50.000 Because there are other countries that have different feelings about this, and I think it would be hard to know.
01:17:54.000 In the United States, the purpose of prison is to unite gang members and harden them to worse criminals.
01:18:01.000 Until there's a lockdown, and then you release them all, so the crime... That's right!
01:18:03.000 They keep their populations down, it's just a culling method, man, that's all it is.
01:18:08.000 But Shane, what if one day you're like on your deathbed, your family's all around you.
01:18:12.000 And then you're like, thank you for such a good life.
01:18:14.000 And they're like, we love you.
01:18:15.000 We love you.
01:18:16.000 And then you wake up and you're like some 26 year old gangbanger who like shot, who shot an author who wrote weird sci-fi mystery novels.
01:18:24.000 I would be extremely depressed.
01:18:26.000 I would have to wake up and not have that family.
01:18:28.000 Well, how do you wake up?
01:18:31.000 But think about like, You guys ever watch the Rick and Morty episode where Summer is in the car and Rick is like, protect Summer.
01:18:41.000 Oh, that's good.
01:18:42.000 And so it shoots a guy in the spine.
01:18:43.000 At first it slices a guy into cubes and she screams like, don't do it, don't kill people.
01:18:48.000 So then it paralyzes the next guy and she's like, stop hurting people.
01:18:51.000 So then when the police show up, it genetically clones the son of one of the police officers and the child comes out and he's like, Daddy?
01:19:01.000 And he's like, Oh my god!"
01:19:02.000 And he hugs his son, but then his son's like, don't hurt the car, daddy.
01:19:06.000 He's like, what?
01:19:06.000 And then the kid melts and he's screaming.
01:19:08.000 Like, think about the kind of torture you could do to people
01:19:11.000 with a Neuralink, where you give them a child and then force them to live full Neuralink reality
01:19:20.000 of watching their child be murdered in front of them.
01:19:22.000 It also depends on the degree to which these people can, or have a capacity for emotion.
01:19:26.000 Because some of these psychopaths, I don't know if it would work on them.
01:19:29.000 So a minute ago you were saying like, you can make them feel some emotions or whatever, but I don't think that's the point.
01:19:33.000 The point is to get the person to feel those emotions, but then you have to get, you get to the idea of yeah, whether they can even feel those or if they're capable of feeling it.
01:19:39.000 Yeah, would, like Hannah mentioned earlier, are you able to control their emotions or you just try to manipulate them?
01:19:45.000 Well you, but like, You- you could theoretically make- I think at the point of Neuralink, you can make them feel things.
01:19:51.000 Like, if we're talking about read-write.
01:19:53.000 Physical pain, emotional pain.
01:19:54.000 Emotional, everything.
01:19:55.000 Like, if we can write to the brain enough to where they can experience things, you could force emotional sensations.
01:20:00.000 That's what I'm curious about, because like, again, I would never be for Neuralink, I don't think I could ever be convinced, but- With, like, you can make someone feel something, but is it enough to rewire the way their brain works, right?
01:20:11.000 Like, if you had a sociopath, is Neuralink going to be able to make them experience enough to make them have empathy?
01:20:17.000 Like, if you're hardwired to function a certain way... Oh, but maybe you just use the Neuralink to reprogram his brain to be virtuous.
01:20:24.000 Can you do that?
01:20:26.000 No, but yes, that's the point.
01:20:26.000 Like, hey, we're going to take out the murder part.
01:20:29.000 Yeah, be careful.
01:20:30.000 But this is the point, right?
01:20:31.000 The point is, When... So, imagine the sci-fi movie.
01:20:35.000 A guy is living a life, and he experiences the death of his girlfriend, and he starts an organization to fight drunk driving, and he becomes an old man, and then, you know, like, a young woman comes in and says, I just wanted to let you know that, you know, you really helped my dad, and the organization you did, blah, blah, blah.
01:20:50.000 I turned his alcoholism around, and he's like, thank you so much.
01:20:52.000 And then, on his deathbed, He's got, you know, his loved ones around them are like, you stopped so many drunk drivers.
01:20:57.000 And then he wakes up as a 23-year-old who killed two people in a drunk driving accident.
01:21:01.000 And he's immediately like, we can never allow drunk driving ever again.
01:21:04.000 Oh my God.
01:21:05.000 And then completely abandons.
01:21:07.000 It could work on some and it might not work on others.
01:21:10.000 That's why I think it's unreliable punishment.
01:21:11.000 But hold on.
01:21:13.000 For the sociopaths who can't feel emotional pain, you just simulate them being flayed alive over and over again.
01:21:19.000 We'll do a, we need a Neuralink for unit 730 or whatever it was.
01:21:24.000 731, whatever it is in Japan.
01:21:26.000 Uh, yeah.
01:21:27.000 So this is why I'm trying to talk to Elon about the Neuralink so we can get answers to these questions.
01:21:31.000 One day, one day he'll respond.
01:21:34.000 Yeah, I don't know, man.
01:21:35.000 That's a whole lot of power.
01:21:37.000 for the person pushing the buttons.
01:21:39.000 The thing about Neuralink is there's beautiful things about what he talks about,
01:21:43.000 Elon talking about now with fixing epilepsy or paraplegics.
01:21:47.000 Exactly. But these things we're talking about that are, I don't think,
01:21:50.000 that far away from what Neuralink is capable of doing. I'm really curious.
01:21:54.000 Do you think I can be used for people that have like that have like psychological like what's the word?
01:21:59.000 I guess antisocial disorders.
01:22:00.000 Neurodivergence.
01:22:02.000 Okay.
01:22:03.000 I'm neurodivergent.
01:22:04.000 I had a brain injury.
01:22:05.000 I'm neurodivergent.
01:22:06.000 All right guys.
01:22:07.000 I have real brain damage.
01:22:08.000 Okay.
01:22:08.000 Someone who has a personality.
01:22:09.000 Stop claiming that you're special.
01:22:12.000 Always want to be the victim.
01:22:14.000 I'm from South Africa.
01:22:14.000 I live abroad.
01:22:15.000 I have a brain injury.
01:22:18.000 I get it.
01:22:19.000 I get it.
01:22:19.000 You're very, very special.
01:22:20.000 No, no, no.
01:22:21.000 You're all very special.
01:22:22.000 Now go home.
01:22:24.000 But the thing is, like, could it cure a personality disorder?
01:22:28.000 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
01:22:31.000 Someone could hack it.
01:22:33.000 And someone would program what personality to you?
01:22:37.000 Someone posted this.
01:22:38.000 There was a meme.
01:22:39.000 Actually, I wonder if I can find it.
01:22:41.000 It was basically like some guys being annoying on the train, so they hack his Neuralink to make him trans.
01:22:51.000 To give him gender dysphoria.
01:22:52.000 That's terrifying.
01:22:53.000 No, thank you.
01:22:55.000 We can't have that future.
01:22:56.000 Tim, I'm sure you saw, um, in Ghost in the Shell, uh, in, like, a lot of the different stuff they talk about there, they would hack people, literally, because if anyone knows the anime, they have people in there that are cyborgs, and they would literally hack the cyborg and make them- one of the opening scenes, this guy doesn't know what he's doing, he thinks he has this whole programmed life of, like, 30 years in reality, he just got hacked this morning, and he thinks he's living out this whole, like, grand scheme, and he has a wife and kids and stuff, but really, it's not even real, it's just fake memories.
01:23:20.000 Is this what dreams are?
01:23:21.000 People just hacking us in the simulation?
01:23:23.000 It, I mean, could be.
01:23:25.000 Who knows, man.
01:23:26.000 No, I don't buy it.
01:23:27.000 Dreams are when you log out and you're- Log out?
01:23:31.000 Yeah, you log out.
01:23:32.000 Like in Westworld.
01:23:33.000 There is no AFK.
01:23:34.000 Westworld is predicted programming.
01:23:35.000 There is no AFK.
01:23:36.000 Yeah.
01:23:36.000 No.
01:23:36.000 No, thank you.
01:23:37.000 Did you like Westworld?
01:23:38.000 Did you watch it?
01:23:39.000 I watched the first season, I think.
01:23:41.000 Like most people.
01:23:42.000 Yeah, and then everything- And then- Yeah, what happened?
01:23:45.000 Jesse from Breaking Bad got really depressed and I was like, eh.
01:23:49.000 The first season of Westworld was amazing.
01:23:52.000 It was so intense.
01:23:52.000 I just binged it, and then the second season, I was like, this is trash.
01:23:55.000 First season is great.
01:23:57.000 But I reference that a lot, when we talk about NPCs, because the robots in Westworld couldn't see a door.
01:24:03.000 So you knew if they couldn't see a door, they're a robot.
01:24:05.000 And when you talk about NPCs in the alternate reality, they don't see our reality, they're the robots.
01:24:09.000 Right.
01:24:10.000 So I just look at that show.
01:24:11.000 It's like a test for vampires.
01:24:12.000 I can't see the reflection.
01:24:13.000 Exactly.
01:24:13.000 And what if we're all NPCs and there are weird, you know, eight foot tall green people who walk around like just laughing and watching the show and they're like, oh, this is so fun.
01:24:22.000 Yeah, I guess there's a degree of relativism to NPCs because we would be then to the shadow beings or the gray aliens that are walking among us.
01:24:29.000 The shadow beings.
01:24:30.000 Yeah.
01:24:31.000 They're here right now.
01:24:32.000 They're in that chair.
01:24:34.000 Yeah, they're just like, they're watching like it's like a movie.
01:24:38.000 Yeah.
01:24:38.000 I'm just like, look at these guys talking about these things.
01:24:40.000 Look at these guys thinking they have free speech.
01:24:44.000 Free will.
01:24:46.000 They all think they're gonna make millions.
01:24:48.000 There's some fat green-skinned thing sitting next to its fat green-skinned roommate eating popcorn being like, it's really funny that they're debating free speech, but they're all programmed.
01:24:57.000 Wait till they hit the next level and upgrade this into World War III.
01:25:00.000 Wait till we see what we do with Joe Rogan next.
01:25:03.000 They're really enjoying their corpse president.
01:25:05.000 It's so funny.
01:25:06.000 I mean, it certainly doesn't feel like we're in real life, how crazy everything is.
01:25:13.000 It's just like, You know, people want to look for miracles.
01:25:16.000 I'm like, well, Donald Trump being president doesn't seem like real life.
01:25:19.000 Nobody thought it was possible and here he is.
01:25:21.000 So it's, I don't know what you think miracles are supposed to look like, but all of the crazy stuff that we've seen over the past few years, it really does feel like someone wrote this.
01:25:29.000 Yeah.
01:25:31.000 I don't believe we're in a simulation.
01:25:32.000 I believe that there is a false reality put on top of this reality by the corporate press, by the bureaucrats.
01:25:36.000 Oh, that's true.
01:25:37.000 And they keep selling it and people buy into that world, which is basically like being in a simulation, which is why we feel like we're in an alternate reality from the people on the left.
01:25:44.000 You think Trump is real?
01:25:45.000 I stopped believing in Trump when I was 12.
01:25:49.000 You think the 90s was actually a thing?
01:25:51.000 Yeah, it was too good to be true.
01:25:53.000 Yeah.
01:25:54.000 Wait, you remember the 90s?
01:25:56.000 Think about what it's going to be like with deepfakes in the future.
01:25:58.000 They're going to have candidates they just manufacture.
01:26:00.000 There will be a guy named like, you know, Joe Biden.
01:26:03.000 Joe Biden.
01:26:04.000 And everyone watches the videos online and they see him on TV and he doesn't exist.
01:26:08.000 They're just deepfake creating this.
01:26:10.000 And everyone's like, I didn't vote for Joe Biden or Bo Jiden.
01:26:14.000 There's no actual people.
01:26:15.000 Yeah, dude.
01:26:16.000 In the future, they're going to, if we have a future, they're going to have debates on whether or not robots should vote.
01:26:23.000 What it means to be a person.
01:26:25.000 Can they run for office?
01:26:26.000 Because they'll be so advanced.
01:26:27.000 Imagine you would have the robots.
01:26:28.000 Next Generation had that episode.
01:26:30.000 Really?
01:26:31.000 Yeah, I think it's called Measure of a Man.
01:26:32.000 Interesting.
01:26:33.000 And it's Data, Android, they hold a trial to determine whether or not he's property or a sentient being with rights.
01:26:43.000 That he was a sentient and had rights.
01:26:46.000 And it seems also obvious to us now, but we grew up with people having written these ideas out.
01:26:52.000 And it's been a long time since I saw the episode, but I think there was one where he gets asked by the guy who says he's a machine, basic questions like, how do you know you're alive?
01:27:03.000 And he just goes, how do you know you're alive?
01:27:05.000 And the guy's getting frustrated.
01:27:06.000 He's like, I'm a human being.
01:27:07.000 I am alive.
01:27:08.000 And like, and then he asks him, you know, questions.
01:27:11.000 How do you, how do you, how can you prove?
01:27:12.000 And he's like, can you?
01:27:13.000 And the guys can't.
01:27:15.000 Right.
01:27:15.000 And they're going to try to redefine what a soul even means if we get to that future where robots are fighting for their ability to vote or even be married legally.
01:27:22.000 Like, I do see that as like a possible future in the dystopia that we are on right now.
01:27:26.000 And then humans will die off and the robots will take over.
01:27:28.000 Right.
01:27:29.000 Yeah.
01:27:30.000 Aw, I'll miss humans, the worst!
01:27:32.000 No, you won't.
01:27:33.000 It'll be like thousands of years and the last human... Didn't they make a... Like, isn't there like a movie or a show about this?
01:27:41.000 Where it's like there's only one old human left and everyone else is a robot?
01:27:44.000 There's that game... What's that cat game?
01:27:48.000 You guys play that one?
01:27:48.000 That game's awesome.
01:27:49.000 You play as a cat and you're in a future where humans have all died and all that's left are
01:27:57.000 the AI robots that served humans and they've become confused and purposeless and dejected
01:28:05.000 because there's no longer any humans.
01:28:06.000 And so you're a cat going around.
01:28:08.000 Do they end up listening to cats?
01:28:09.000 Does the cat rally the robots to serve him?
01:28:12.000 I guess it's the most human thing on the planet.
01:28:16.000 There's multiple levels.
01:28:17.000 One level it's like the slums and the sewers and everyone's just like, everyone, it's just
01:28:22.000 robots.
01:28:23.000 Then there's one level where the security robots have everything locked down and won't
01:28:27.000 let anyone or anything leave because that was their job.
01:28:29.000 And so all the robots are just like trapped and stuck and can't do anything.
01:28:34.000 But then the cat, because you're the cat, it learns how to talk to a robot and then it opens this thing up and then releases the robots and then I guess the premise is now the robots can become the new civilization or something.
01:28:46.000 With the cat as the ruler?
01:28:47.000 I mean, I have to assume that the cat ends up on top.
01:28:50.000 This is cat, like, cat person propaganda for sure.
01:28:54.000 That only cats will save the AI robot.
01:28:56.000 Yeah, and the cat has like a little backpack with a robot that comes out and like... Adorable.
01:28:59.000 I love it.
01:29:00.000 I'm in.
01:29:00.000 I'm gonna play this game.
01:29:01.000 I mean, the game's awesome.
01:29:02.000 Yeah, it's super awesome.
01:29:03.000 I understood how video games work.
01:29:05.000 Don't be off about it.
01:29:06.000 Yeah.
01:29:07.000 And I remember when the ads came out and it was like showing the cat just like doing cat stuff and like rubbing its face.
01:29:12.000 And then you play it.
01:29:13.000 How can we help you today?
01:29:14.000 Well, so I thought it from the ads, it was just like you get to play as a cat and the
01:29:17.000 cat knocks things off shelves or whatever.
01:29:19.000 And then I played it and I was like, oh, it's a sci-fi dystopia where humans have been wiped
01:29:22.000 out and robots have taken over.
01:29:24.000 Very different game to what I thought it was going to be.
01:29:26.000 Yeah, but it was good.
01:29:28.000 It was fun.
01:29:29.000 Yeah.
01:29:31.000 I've thought this for a long time, actually.
01:29:32.000 Humans are going to create AI and robots with the capabilities of self-replication, and then humans die off for some reason.
01:29:39.000 And robots are just like, you know, adios.
01:29:42.000 We got it from here.
01:29:44.000 Yeah.
01:29:44.000 We're progressing ourselves out of existence.
01:29:46.000 Robots can live by themselves.
01:29:48.000 Yeah, they don't care.
01:29:49.000 We've got more robots.
01:29:50.000 And they can float through space for 50 billion years just sitting there.
01:29:54.000 And we're going to let them.
01:29:55.000 We're not going to get in a fight and scorch the sun like the Matrix.
01:29:58.000 We're just going to be like, hey, no, it's cool.
01:30:00.000 Like, why would robots in AMD fight that way?
01:30:03.000 If anything, what'll happen is we create rudimentary AI that is too stupid and then just shoves corn on our throats.
01:30:10.000 Like, humans like corn.
01:30:11.000 Make more corn.
01:30:11.000 Corn good.
01:30:12.000 I mean, because, like, current algorithms Produce insanity.
01:30:16.000 However, if we actually get to the point where AI is improving itself, it will become some kind of demigod instantly.
01:30:24.000 The exponential growth curve means it's like within an hour it doubles its intelligence, within an hour it's quadrupled, with another hour it's 10x, then it's a hundred, then a thousand, and it's just- And the human race just lets that happen and doesn't try to stop it at any point.
01:30:38.000 We are actively building it right now and no one is resisting.
01:30:41.000 No, but after it starts wrestling for control of the world.
01:30:45.000 But there's no circumstance where the AI has to wrestle for control.
01:30:50.000 We have handed all of the control to it.
01:30:52.000 So you're saying we've already surrendered to the robot?
01:30:54.000 Absolutely.
01:30:55.000 I criticize Elon a lot, but he has gone to Congress.
01:30:58.000 Look at your algorithmic Facebook and YouTube and Twitter and Instagram.
01:31:01.000 The robot has decided what you should think, and you can't do anything about it.
01:31:06.000 Out of sight, out of mind.
01:31:07.000 I mean, ask yourself why it is that your liberal friends and family members don't know what Joe Biden's doing.
01:31:13.000 And certainly some people are more responsible than others, but the machine controls what you can see.
01:31:19.000 And if you can't see the news, you won't know what's happening.
01:31:22.000 Harry Tubman said, I freed many slaves.
01:31:23.000 I would have freed many more if only they knew they were slaves.
01:31:26.000 So I see a post from the Krasen scenes.
01:31:28.000 You know, we love to rag on these guys.
01:31:29.000 And it's a clip where someone is talking about the Burisma scandal.
01:31:34.000 And I think it was Ed, Krenstein said, this is a lie and it was proven a lie.
01:31:39.000 Imagine that being fed to someone in an algorithm and they believe the Burisma stuff is not true.
01:31:43.000 Like, Ed's lying.
01:31:45.000 It is so clearly true, all that stuff that's happened, and there's just piles and piles of evidence.
01:31:50.000 But you go on Twitter, the For You page sends you false information, and in your mind, you're like, wow, that was a lie.
01:31:57.000 It was all a lie.
01:31:59.000 And you believe Joe Biden did not engage in that shakedown.
01:32:02.000 This is like a problem I had, you know, the Mario Nafal,
01:32:06.000 whoever that conglomerate of people is on Twitter, you know, the Xfeed wants me to see their posts all the
01:32:12.000 And recently he shared that the Pawn Stars son died, but he shared the wrong son picture.
01:32:12.000 time.
01:32:17.000 Oh wow.
01:32:18.000 That was out there for hours.
01:32:22.000 And then eventually it was deleted.
01:32:23.000 Cause a lot of people were like, you're sharing the wrong son.
01:32:26.000 But people will have seen that post hundreds of thousands.
01:32:29.000 And then they'll believe that reality where that person was dead,
01:32:33.000 which creates a kind of false Mandela effect.
01:32:35.000 Yeah.
01:32:35.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:32:36.000 And then they're like someone 10 years later, it's like that guy's alive.
01:32:38.000 That's not entirely accurate.
01:32:39.000 One of his sons did die.
01:32:40.000 Right, but they saw the picture of the other son.
01:32:42.000 So in 10 years, they're going to be like, yeah, They'll be like, no, it was Bill.
01:32:45.000 Like, shut up, dude.
01:32:46.000 I remember when that news broke.
01:32:47.000 We're from different timelines.
01:32:49.000 That's the thing about the Mandela effect, because, are you familiar with it?
01:32:52.000 No.
01:32:53.000 It's where people believe that there are different timelines or that the timeline changed.
01:32:59.000 And so some people remember Mandela dying in prison, while others remember that he was released, he didn't die.
01:33:05.000 And so the Mandela effect is why do so many people believe This happened.
01:33:10.000 The other one is the Fruit of the Loom.
01:33:12.000 This is the best one.
01:33:14.000 So, can you describe the Fruit of the Loom logo?
01:33:17.000 It has fruit on it.
01:33:18.000 And what else?
01:33:21.000 Like, describe the fruit.
01:33:23.000 Bananas, cherries.
01:33:24.000 An apple.
01:33:25.000 And there's nothing else?
01:33:26.000 It's got the loom that goes this way, and then the words come into it this way.
01:33:29.000 Well, Charlie might be from the appropriate timeline.
01:33:31.000 What's the loom?
01:33:33.000 Well, the loom refers to, like, the cornucopia basket that tapers at the end.
01:33:37.000 There is no cornucopia in the Fruit of the Loom logo.
01:33:39.000 Are you sure?
01:33:40.000 Well, it depends what timeline you're from.
01:33:43.000 This is either a failing of advertising and our memories, or it's something to do with the Large Hadron Collider being turned on.
01:33:48.000 Fruit of the Loom!
01:33:49.000 But that doesn't mean, like, that could be their current logo.
01:33:53.000 Nope, you can go back and look.
01:33:53.000 Logos change over time.
01:33:55.000 They do claim that it never had a cornucopia.
01:33:57.000 Where'd that one from?
01:33:58.000 What's that?
01:34:00.000 This was shared by someone.
01:34:02.000 You've never seen that one?
01:34:03.000 That's the only one I think about.
01:34:03.000 So you guys are from different timelines.
01:34:05.000 So nice to meet you.
01:34:07.000 Here's the best part.
01:34:09.000 So you can look up Fruit of the Loom's historical logos.
01:34:12.000 It never had the cornucopia, but people believe it did.
01:34:15.000 Really?
01:34:15.000 There was a rock, like a metal band, that made a gag version.
01:34:20.000 You know this?
01:34:21.000 I saw it, yeah.
01:34:22.000 And they put a cornucopia and it's from like the 80s or something.
01:34:24.000 And so people are like, wait, wait, wait, if they never did this, how did these parodies of it exist with the cornucopia?
01:34:31.000 It's like with the Berenstain Bears as well.
01:34:33.000 There's a spelling that some people remember it being.
01:34:35.000 Berenstein.
01:34:36.000 I forget what the spelling is.
01:34:36.000 Berenstein, I guess.
01:34:37.000 It was Berenstain.
01:34:38.000 It was Berenstain.
01:34:40.000 I don't know.
01:34:41.000 Oh, E-I-N instead of- It's one of those, yeah.
01:34:44.000 So people constantly think.
01:34:45.000 There's a whole ton of examples of this.
01:34:47.000 Yeah, the thing about the Mandela effect is if you're South African, it's like, no.
01:34:51.000 The real Mandela effect is- That's not what happened.
01:34:53.000 What are you talking about?
01:34:53.000 Is that he was actually, he had a great PR team, and they convinced everyone that he wasn't a Marxist, violent, sane person.
01:35:00.000 Right, right.
01:35:00.000 Yeah, but I mean, he did spend his time in prison, and he came and reformed, and he did a lot of good things for South Africa.
01:35:04.000 He did.
01:35:05.000 In the Neuralink, right?
01:35:06.000 I think you explained it perfectly.
01:35:09.000 At the time when Mandela was in prison, a major news organization somewhere falsely reported his death.
01:35:15.000 So there's millions of people driving to work in the morning and they hear a report Nelson Mandela has died in prison and it was wrong and they never issued a correction because they lie.
01:35:23.000 Those people Information in, nothing out.
01:35:26.000 Forgot about it, don't know, don't care.
01:35:28.000 10 years later, they hear he's alive and they go, what?
01:35:31.000 No, no, no, no.
01:35:32.000 I remember when they said he died and the reality is the media lied.
01:35:35.000 And I call that, I call those people the engineers of the false reality, the fake simulation that we're not like the zeros and ones kind.
01:35:41.000 And, uh, they, that they buy into this, they, they create a reality where people buy into it and, uh, it destabilizes all of reality.
01:35:49.000 So everyone's having these conversations like, wait, that person didn't die or Trump did this or didn't do that.
01:35:53.000 You know, it's why I feel like we are actually interdimensional.
01:35:56.000 So I guess they added the cornucopia in 2022.
01:35:59.000 What?
01:35:59.000 Did we pressure them?
01:36:01.000 Yeah.
01:36:01.000 There was a cornucopia.
01:36:02.000 Oh, that's so good.
01:36:03.000 I remember a cornucopia from my childhood.
01:36:05.000 Right.
01:36:05.000 Well, after the controversy and likely because everyone kept saying it, they went, okay, we'll add that.
01:36:09.000 And it clearly does not look like it fits.
01:36:12.000 That's not the one I remember from the timeline I'm from.
01:36:15.000 Isn't there like some kind of scholastic warfare thing that had a similar logo and was being conflated?
01:36:19.000 I don't know.
01:36:20.000 It could be.
01:36:20.000 To disprove the Mandela effect, two friends of mine, I've created fake Mandela effects.
01:36:25.000 Nice.
01:36:25.000 So the way it works is, memory is very fallible.
01:36:29.000 So what you do is, you ask them if they remember something very specific and obvious.
01:36:35.000 So, like, do you remember Power Rangers?
01:36:38.000 Yes, of course.
01:36:39.000 And you remember Rita Repulsa?
01:36:40.000 Yes, of course.
01:36:41.000 Then you think about something.
01:36:43.000 Do you remember, uh, uh, the gold and silver monsters that she would have?
01:36:46.000 And she would make my monster grow, and there was the giant golden ape, and then there was the silver one as well?
01:36:50.000 And people go, yeah, of course, there was no silver one, I made the one up.
01:36:53.000 And so the point is, people start thinking in their minds, their brain fills the gap.
01:36:57.000 Like, I remember Rita, I remember Goldar, and then the silver chimp as well, that was the big one with the wings.
01:37:03.000 And then they think in their mind just, because they're not really, some people might catch it and they go, ooh, a silver thing?
01:37:10.000 But many people, your brain will fill the gap because everything made sense except for that one thing, they'll put it in there.
01:37:14.000 I don't know if you remember this, but this was like an unofficial part of my interview when I first met you.
01:37:19.000 And you pulled out Mandela Effect, one of the nights, and you were like, I forget what it was, Kellogg or something, what was spelled with two L's, and you printed it out and you're like, well how do you think this was, is this from your timeline?
01:37:29.000 I think I passed, which is why I'm here now.
01:37:31.000 Yeah, so I did a Kellogg, I believe it's spelled with two G's, right?
01:37:34.000 I forget now.
01:37:35.000 Or I think it is.
01:37:36.000 We're in a few different timelines now.
01:37:37.000 We're all gonna get fired.
01:37:39.000 Yeah, Kellogg has two G's in it.
01:37:42.000 And so I think I did a fake Mandela effect with this, where I actually printed out the logo on something with one G. What's wrong with this picture?
01:37:51.000 No, the goal was like, how do you spell Kellogg?
01:37:53.000 I'm pretty sure we printed out a fake label that was identical, but Kellogg was spelled with one G. So we could fake a Mandela effect by saying, How do you spell Kellogg?
01:38:06.000 And then they're like, oh, it's a K-E-L-L-O-G-G.
01:38:09.000 It's like, you're wrong.
01:38:10.000 And we show the box and it's got one G and you're like, whoa.
01:38:13.000 I always thought it was two Gs.
01:38:15.000 And then I'm like, now do you remember?
01:38:17.000 It was always one G. Yeah, you're right.
01:38:18.000 It was one G. Actually, this is a fake box.
01:38:19.000 We printed it out.
01:38:20.000 It's not real.
01:38:21.000 It's actually spelled two Gs.
01:38:22.000 It's so easy to convince people.
01:38:23.000 We're not hiring you.
01:38:25.000 You're out.
01:38:25.000 You failed the Mandela test.
01:38:27.000 Yeah.
01:38:27.000 Good luck.
01:38:27.000 All right.
01:38:28.000 We're gonna go to Super Chats.

01:38:40.000 Yeah, and we're gonna read what y'all have to say.
01:38:42.000 Here we go.
01:38:43.000 Triple Flip says, after the whole Texas come and take it flag thing, are barbed wire tattoos cool again?
01:38:51.000 Now if you see a guy with a razor wire in his arm, you're like... Only razor wire.
01:38:55.000 It's funny that razor wire is like a symbol of resistance right now.
01:38:59.000 Ted Cruz is actually getting it right now.
01:39:01.000 We got a request for a poll.
01:39:02.000 We got a request for a poll, is the Mandela effect real?
01:39:08.000 I believe it.
01:39:10.000 I think, personally, I think there's multiple types of Mandela Effect.
01:39:14.000 I do think the Large Hadron Collider has affected reality, but I also think there's a type we're talking about where the corporate press has created a false reality and a false history and a false timeline.
01:39:22.000 70% instantly put... right away, yes?
01:39:25.000 Oh, it's at 78% right now.
01:39:28.000 And so, uh, votes are coming in.
01:39:31.000 235, 75% say yes it is.
01:39:33.000 I know someone whose husband of many years has, uh, it was like last year, she said all of a sudden he thinks there's a light switch where there never was.
01:39:39.000 I heard that!
01:39:40.000 And she was like, I think he's from a different timeline.
01:39:42.000 Like, maybe he is.
01:39:43.000 The, uh, this, this, the Mandela effect resulted in a subculture of, I think it's called dimension jumping.
01:39:50.000 Oh, yeah.
01:39:52.000 And it's where people claim, and I think they're just trolling, but there are forums where they're like, I've successfully jumped into another dimension.
01:40:01.000 Oh yeah, it's called like skipping or something like that.
01:40:04.000 It's on TikTok.
01:40:04.000 It's a TikTok thing that took off.
01:40:05.000 And so, well, well before the TikTok thing.
01:40:08.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:40:09.000 The idea was the Mandela effect happens and everyone's like, whoa, but I remember Mandela died.
01:40:13.000 And then someone goes, you must be from a dimension where he didn't.
01:40:15.000 Somehow you crossed over.
01:40:17.000 So the theory is this.
01:40:18.000 I love it.
01:40:20.000 Where we are right now in the multiverse is a thread.
01:40:24.000 Every possible moment, millions of possibilities are emerging, all different timelines.
01:40:30.000 Every action you could take results in another timeline.
01:40:33.000 That's the general hypothesis.
01:40:36.000 And so that means some timelines are very close to each other.
01:40:39.000 Like today, I woke up and I had two pieces of biltong instead of one.
01:40:44.000 And so the timelines are almost identical because nothing was changed, but they are separate.
01:40:49.000 These people believe that if the timelines are close enough, you can jump between them by closing your eyes, sensory deprivation, shutting everything down, and then focusing on that timeline, and then you wake up in the timeline.
01:41:02.000 However, understand, you cannot jump timelines too far.
01:41:06.000 So if you got your leg, you lost a leg in an accident, that timeline split is so intense that you can't make the leap.
01:41:13.000 Can't jump that.
01:41:14.000 But you could only jump to right before you went to that place.
01:41:14.000 That's too far.
01:41:18.000 No, it just depends on if the timeline is close enough.
01:41:21.000 So the variations in time can't be so different to where the leap is too far.
01:41:26.000 So typically they say it's things where it's like, you accidentally did something you want to undo, and there are people who legitimately are like, this morning I blew a red light and got pulled over, closed my eyes, and boom, I woke up, I was driving, and instantly I was driving again, stopped at the red light, the cop was gone, and it's like, I swear I did it.
01:41:42.000 And it's like, okay, man, this is like organic Neuralink.
01:41:47.000 They can jump dimensions.
01:41:49.000 Now what's really happening is people online are bored and they're lying about it to see if they can get a rise out of people.
01:41:53.000 Right.
01:41:53.000 But there, there is a theory, I forget the name of it, where every, they say every moment of your life is like a still frame and that it's infinite.
01:42:01.000 And it goes on forever like that and to a varying degree.
01:42:03.000 So you're kind of, they, they believe that you could be immortal.
01:42:05.000 Mandela died in 2013.
01:42:05.000 If you look at that.
01:42:06.000 No he didn't.
01:42:07.000 He died in, in prison.
01:42:09.000 Didn't he?
01:42:10.000 Who did?
01:42:11.000 So you're saying he died after Large Hadron Collider was turned on?
01:42:11.000 2013?
01:42:15.000 No.
01:42:16.000 Alright, let's read some more.
01:42:17.000 Let's read some more superchats.
01:42:19.000 Alright.
01:42:20.000 Chaved BM says, first fact, Ilhan Omar married her brother.
01:42:24.000 Oh, he says to deport her.
01:42:27.000 I believe that based on the reporting from the Star Tribune, it is likely she did.
01:42:33.000 The Star Tribune, I can't believe it.
01:42:35.000 You know, honestly, when the Star Tribune said she may have married her brother, and they did, I was actually surprised.
01:42:39.000 That is racist.
01:42:40.000 But such a storied publication can't be wrong, can they?
01:42:44.000 It's a different culture.
01:42:45.000 You couldn't understand.
01:42:47.000 I read an article from Star Tribune that said new information has come to light suggesting that Ilhan Omar may have married her brother or something like that.
01:42:54.000 And I read it and I went, whoa!
01:42:56.000 Holy crap!
01:42:57.000 This is like a major publication.
01:42:59.000 This is not some fly-by-night fake news website.
01:43:02.000 It's certified by NewsGuard.
01:43:04.000 And then I think it was Media Matters or they were like, Tim Pool claims.
01:43:07.000 And I was like, I most certainly did not.
01:43:09.000 Excuse me?
01:43:11.000 I was like, man, gee, I can't even read the news.
01:43:16.000 All right.
01:43:18.000 Here we go.
01:43:19.000 DJ Madero says, I believe President Joe Biden will make this country what it once was.
01:43:23.000 An arctic wasteland covered in snow.
01:43:26.000 Yeah.
01:43:28.000 Jackson Glass says, hey Tim, do you guys put stuff in the coffee?
01:43:31.000 I bought some for my leftist aunt and for the first time in 20 years she agreed with my conservative grandpa.
01:43:36.000 We just put love in it and that's how you win people over.
01:43:39.000 Love and compassion.
01:43:40.000 But it depends on if you gave her the prime time sign two times caffeine because that has more caffeine in it.
01:43:46.000 Drink responsibly.
01:43:48.000 Alright.
01:43:49.000 Steven says, correct me if I'm wrong, but there was no congressional authorization of military use.
01:43:53.000 Correct.
01:43:55.000 This is Joe Biden being like, we're gonna blow them up!
01:43:58.000 That's their game, man.
01:44:00.000 Launch the missiles.
01:44:01.000 X10man says, draft lawyers and judges.
01:44:04.000 Adjudicate all of the asylum claims.
01:44:06.000 Get it done.
01:44:06.000 Get them out.
01:44:07.000 Hannah Clare, you are British, but you always have the nicest teeth.
01:44:10.000 What's up with that?
01:44:11.000 It's an illusion.
01:44:12.000 It's AI.
01:44:13.000 Just kidding.
01:44:14.000 It's a filter.
01:44:15.000 Yep.
01:44:16.000 Actually, no teeth at all.
01:44:18.000 Don't tell him the secret!
01:44:19.000 I'm not married yet!
01:44:21.000 You know, I can't let anyone know until I've trapped a man.
01:44:25.000 Then the filter comes off.
01:44:28.000 What do we got?
01:44:30.000 Brian Jesus from a Border Patrol friend.
01:44:32.000 He said, Border Patrol arrests all they come in contact with that crosses the border.
01:44:37.000 ICE is in charge of all the transportation.
01:44:39.000 And so you have, on video, CBP opening the gates at the bollard fence and counting them as they walk in.
01:44:46.000 Okay, so that's them committing crimes.
01:44:48.000 And you have videos of them taking them and bringing them into vans and transporting them to their NGO destinations.
01:44:54.000 I get it.
01:44:55.000 And ICE is responsible for the transportation inside the country.
01:44:58.000 Totally agree.
01:44:59.000 I apologize to the CBP agents who I did not include your brothers in ICE who are working domestically to engage in human smuggling.
01:45:10.000 But on the border, you work with the cartels, let them in, you're responsible.
01:45:15.000 ICE, good point, they're responsible too.
01:45:17.000 Can't leave them out.
01:45:20.000 Jordan Cogburn says, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the feds teamed up with the cartels to police cities and fight against citizens.
01:45:28.000 It wouldn't surprise me at all if the cartels were working for the government.
01:45:31.000 And they were just black operations.
01:45:33.000 Could be an extension of Operation Fast and Furious.
01:45:36.000 Yeah, like, why did we send them guns?
01:45:39.000 What if the real scandal is... So they can bring them back over.
01:45:41.000 Exactly.
01:45:42.000 Well, what, right.
01:45:43.000 Like, we wanted to give them guns so we could track them.
01:45:45.000 What if the real scandal is actually they work for the CIA?
01:45:47.000 Right.
01:45:47.000 And they provide cover for U.S.
01:45:49.000 operations in Mexico?
01:45:51.000 Yeah, it's a whole thing to cover.
01:45:53.000 I mean, what about the CIA and crack epidemic and all that stuff?
01:45:57.000 Right.
01:45:58.000 Who was that journalist who committed suicide by shooting himself twice in the head when he was uncovering the CIA drug scandal?
01:46:03.000 I forget his name.
01:46:05.000 Someone want to Google it?
01:46:06.000 The chat will get it, I'm sure.
01:46:08.000 Yeah, he committed suicide by shooting himself twice in the head.
01:46:10.000 Impressive.
01:46:11.000 Classic.
01:46:11.000 Typical way to go when it's suicide.
01:46:13.000 And they were like, but look, depending on how you do it, you can survive a shot to the head.
01:46:18.000 People think it was execution style or whatever, but it's still a crazy story.
01:46:22.000 What was that guy's name?
01:46:23.000 Everybody, the chat I know knows his name.
01:46:25.000 Someone's gonna say his name.
01:46:26.000 Clank.
01:46:27.000 No, that's... No, that's not, that's a... That's a, that's a six hex name reference.
01:46:33.000 Could be, I don't know.
01:46:34.000 I can't see the chat right now.
01:46:35.000 I guess nobody's saying his name.
01:46:38.000 I'll Google it.
01:46:38.000 Now it's gonna, now all of a sudden it's gonna go boom!
01:46:40.000 Uh, David Webb.
01:46:41.000 Wait, Gary Webb.
01:46:42.000 There you go.
01:46:43.000 Yeah, that was it right?
01:46:44.000 Gary Webb?
01:46:45.000 Yep.
01:46:47.000 There you go.
01:46:48.000 Alright.
01:46:49.000 Thinker4Life says, Biden's importing voters to use the Voting Rights Law of 1993 to win.
01:46:55.000 We must make flyers in Spanish and inform these illegals that all dems stand for the communism that they flee and child sex changes.
01:47:03.000 They are not going to vote.
01:47:05.000 They are going to bolster congressional districts to give themselves more electoral college votes.
01:47:10.000 They don't need to vote.
01:47:11.000 We are not a direct democracy.
01:47:13.000 This is the thing a lot of conservatives make the mistake of.
01:47:15.000 They're like, they're gonna vote!
01:47:16.000 We're not a direct democracy.
01:47:18.000 They don't need to vote.
01:47:19.000 They just need to use the census to say there's a million people, so we need another district and another electoral college vote.
01:47:26.000 And that's even worse because now these people have no voice at all.
01:47:30.000 Democrats are bringing in congressional districts where like half the population are second class citizens who can't vote.
01:47:36.000 That makes sense why they made such a huge stink out of it when Trump tried to revise the census.
01:47:40.000 Exactly.
01:47:41.000 When he said citizenship on the thing like, no, no, stop him, stop him.
01:47:45.000 That's the craziest thing.
01:47:47.000 Tell me exactly what you're doing without using the words to say exactly what you're doing.
01:47:50.000 And then that opens the door to, we only count citizens towards the congressional apportionment.
01:47:58.000 Doesn't that seem crazy?
01:47:59.000 That we would only count citizens?
01:48:02.000 Pando says grandma's on her deathbed.
01:48:04.000 Uncle trying to come to US via emergency visa but was denied.
01:48:07.000 Can't believe it.
01:48:08.000 They just let everyone through the border.
01:48:10.000 I had a friend from Ukraine who wanted to come to the United States and couldn't get a visa.
01:48:15.000 And she was like, I know though that if I go to Mexico, I can walk right in and they'll let me in.
01:48:19.000 Yeah.
01:48:20.000 And I'm like, it's a weird thing.
01:48:21.000 I don't know.
01:48:22.000 That's, that's how they do it, I guess.
01:48:25.000 Yep.
01:48:26.000 Yeah.
01:48:28.000 Megamikey says, the Democrats are trying desperately to invoke a violent right response.
01:48:32.000 Why won't Republican AGs press criminal charges against Biden?
01:48:35.000 You literally just answered your own question, Tim.
01:48:38.000 Filing a criminal charge is not a violent response.
01:48:40.000 What are you, what are you saying?
01:48:42.000 I don't understand what you're saying.
01:48:44.000 Yeah.
01:48:45.000 It's literally like Biden, you're hereby ordered to report to court tomorrow morning and then they're going to be like, you can't do it.
01:48:50.000 He's immune.
01:48:51.000 I'm like, okay, great.
01:48:52.000 We agree.
01:48:53.000 Case dismissed.
01:48:53.000 Trump's you're immune.
01:48:54.000 Yep.
01:48:55.000 It's over.
01:48:56.000 Good move.
01:48:57.000 Right.
01:48:58.000 Let's go.
01:49:00.000 The Sig P says, The invasion is China's doing.
01:49:03.000 Watch Tucker's podcast.
01:49:04.000 There is no doubt in my mind that Biden isn't actually treasonous and in bed with China.
01:49:09.000 I would agree.
01:49:10.000 Yeah, I think.
01:49:11.000 Not that there's no doubt in my mind, but I think there's a strong likelihood that he's in the pocket of China because of the deals that they were running in the past and they got dirt.
01:49:19.000 Yeah.
01:49:20.000 I've been calling him Joe by Jen for a long time now.
01:49:22.000 Joe by Jen.
01:49:26.000 Joe Jinping.
01:49:27.000 Yes, pretty much.
01:49:29.000 Let's grab some more super jets.
01:49:32.000 Eric Vegas has pensions make you slaves.
01:49:35.000 The system is perfect.
01:49:37.000 They lock you in and they can take it away from you and people get scared.
01:49:39.000 They don't want to they don't want to speak out and then they're willing to commit crimes.
01:49:42.000 Can't risk it.
01:49:43.000 Yeah.
01:49:43.000 The golden handcuffs.
01:49:45.000 Yep, literally.
01:49:46.000 Fat Sean says, make I, you mean make it, the fiduciary responsibility of the corporations to assist in deportation.
01:49:53.000 Make it a $50,000 fine to hire them and a $5,000 tax credit to turn them in.
01:49:58.000 That actually is a bad idea.
01:50:01.000 So, I watched a documentary a long time ago about what a lot of these companies near the border would do.
01:50:07.000 Advertise in Mexico, come work, jobs available.
01:50:11.000 Don't come to this country!
01:50:11.000 there was like no bollard fencing at all, get hired, they come to this corporation and say,
01:50:16.000 yeah, I'm from Mexico, I saw your flyer, and they say, perfect, work,
01:50:19.000 and then we'll pay you a lot of money.
01:50:21.000 And then as soon as the pay period ended, they'd call ICE.
01:50:25.000 They'd be like, how much do I owe you, a thousand?
01:50:26.000 Okay, ICE, I got an illegal immigrant here.
01:50:28.000 And they'd come and take them and ship them back.
01:50:30.000 And they wouldn't, yeah.
01:50:31.000 Don't come to this country, we treat you terribly.
01:50:34.000 Seriously.
01:50:34.000 Evil stuff.
01:50:37.000 And it was like Republicans and Koch brothers who wanted to bring in this cheap labor.
01:50:44.000 Next, The Slayer says, Yes, people with handoff policies lead to a downfall from bad ideologies, but keep in mind that if Christians pushed harder, we'd have no rock music, D&D, or video games.
01:50:55.000 It's better to try new logically consistent things than stop when once damning data comes out.
01:51:00.000 Yo, I don't understand Look, being like, it's a board game, well, we don't like the board game, we should get rid of it, then we fight, we go, okay, fine, we'll accept the board game.
01:51:10.000 It's very different from child sex changes.
01:51:12.000 You know what I mean?
01:51:14.000 Like, I will have an argument over someone as to why my board game's allowed, and accept their capitulation to allow my board game, but we can all agree, like, the child sex change thing is going too far.
01:51:24.000 Right.
01:51:24.000 Way too far.
01:51:25.000 You know what's crazy is we were in the green room downstairs, we'll put on music right before we're getting ready for the show and stuff, and on auto-rotation, I Write Sins Not Tragedies came up, Panic at the Disco, they censored the word God in goddamn.
01:51:41.000 And that was like mid-2000s.
01:51:43.000 On YouTube, they would not say goddamn, they censored that.
01:51:47.000 Weak, dude.
01:51:47.000 And Magic the Gathering has a card called Unholy Strength, had a pentagram on it.
01:51:52.000 They removed it because of outrage.
01:51:54.000 They were like, we don't want our kids seeing this.
01:51:55.000 They said, okay, so that the new version, the new set got rid of it.
01:51:58.000 So I think we actually have one over there.
01:52:01.000 I think in the case, we have an original Unholy Strength with the pentagram in it that was removed.
01:52:05.000 It's not really worth that much, but it is a little bit more valuable.
01:52:08.000 But hey, there you go.
01:52:11.000 Simpler times.
01:52:12.000 All right.
01:52:13.000 Alan Shower says, Tim, as a Star Trek The Next Generation fan, you must know the outcome of the meta is Moriarty.
01:52:19.000 Interesting story arc in The Next Generation.
01:52:24.000 So the AI, there's an AI that runs everything, right?
01:52:27.000 You go, computer, do this, and it does.
01:52:29.000 And so they have the holodeck where they could go in and say, computer, run program simulation, and they tell it what to do, and then it'll make whatever they want.
01:52:36.000 And so they're trying to do like a Sherlock Holmes, and so Data is in there as Sherlock or whatever, and so they ask the computer to make a villain that would be difficult for Data to solve, but Data being like a super intelligent AI, the AI creates a sentient being in the holodeck who takes the ship over by taking, like, and it's Moriarty, the villain, and he's like, I'm alive.
01:52:58.000 As soon as they run the program, Moriarty in the program realizes, the program realizes it's a program, Moriarty the character in the program, and then confronts, like, I think it's Picard, and he's like, what am I and what are you?
01:53:13.000 Tell me the truth.
01:53:13.000 And they explain, and instantly he's like, I don't want to be a villain.
01:53:16.000 This is not who I am.
01:53:17.000 I want to know what life is and I want to live.
01:53:18.000 And they're like, whoa.
01:53:20.000 Wow.
01:53:20.000 And then in Voyager, So the problem was he can't leave the holodeck because it's just light projections and he's a program, but then in Voyager they created portable holographic projectors.
01:53:31.000 So the doctor is a hologram and he's in a room.
01:53:36.000 He can't leave that room or he can't leave areas without holographic projectors, but then eventually they create mobile projectors he can wear, which create a physical form made of light from a small device.
01:53:45.000 I think that was the end of Voyager.
01:53:48.000 Sci-fi is fun, you just make stuff up, you know what I mean?
01:53:50.000 You remember when they did a hologram Wolf Blitzer?
01:53:52.000 Was it Wolf Blitzer?
01:53:53.000 Yeah!
01:53:53.000 Was it Wolf Blitzer?
01:53:54.000 Or maybe Wolf Blitzer was in the room and they hologrammed someone else in the room.
01:53:58.000 It's a great moment.
01:53:59.000 Silly.
01:54:01.000 Silly.
01:54:03.000 Justin Lied says, why haven't you talked about the Gavin Newsom story?
01:54:06.000 The governor of the largest state in America admitted to going full Karen on a target employee.
01:54:11.000 I mean, it was interesting, but I just don't think it, right, it like, we load up all these stories, but then if we don't get to it, we don't get to it.
01:54:17.000 So if it's story is not big, but basically he was like, they were blaming me for the shoplifting.
01:54:22.000 And he's like, we've got the 10th toughest law in the country, $950.
01:54:25.000 He's like, he's like, and then he said, he watched someone just steal stuff.
01:54:29.000 And he's like, why am I paying for this?
01:54:30.000 So they can just walk out.
01:54:32.000 I don't think you understand.
01:54:34.000 This dude is so detached from reality.
01:54:36.000 It's amazing.
01:54:37.000 He's so detached from reality, but at the same time, the way he speaks, he's trying to be authentic.
01:54:43.000 And it kind of rings, it kind of makes him look like a psychopath.
01:54:47.000 Mhm.
01:54:48.000 Perhaps he is.
01:54:50.000 I've stood next to him.
01:54:51.000 He's a psychopath.
01:54:53.000 You wouldn't believe the amount of trash along that wall.
01:54:54.000 People throwing their IDs from China or any other country.
01:54:57.000 activists need to clean up the mess to stop the climate change. That's how we
01:55:01.000 show them what's wrong. You wouldn't believe the amount of trash along that wall. People throw in
01:55:05.000 their IDs from China or any other country. I think Trump had it wrong though. When he
01:55:10.000 said he wanted to build a big beautiful wall 30 feet tall from
01:55:13.000 sea to shining sea.
01:55:15.000 It's a 30-foot trench.
01:55:17.000 You gotta build a 30-foot trench.
01:55:19.000 Okay?
01:55:20.000 And fill it with alligators.
01:55:22.000 There's water.
01:55:23.000 Yeah.
01:55:24.000 So it's a moat.
01:55:24.000 I don't know about alligators, just... There you go, water.
01:55:27.000 For fun.
01:55:28.000 For fun.
01:55:29.000 The wall, it is beautiful.
01:55:31.000 It looks like a piece of modern art when you see it.
01:55:33.000 What is a humane deterrent we could put at the border that is not alligators in a moat?
01:55:39.000 Maybe... spoiled milk.
01:55:44.000 You know, like nobody gets hurt, but boy, you do not want to be down there.
01:55:47.000 There's like a rancher and he's like, this is hell.
01:55:50.000 Yeah, it's too bad because like, at least in Arizona where I was, it's all lettuce farms right there on the wall.
01:55:55.000 That would be terrible.
01:55:56.000 What about like...
01:55:58.000 A thirty foot trench full of rats.
01:56:05.000 Snakes.
01:56:05.000 What I was saying is that they should turn the border wall into a 24-7 reality show like Ninja Warrior.
01:56:12.000 Because at least then it would be entertaining.
01:56:16.000 We could film it, we could make money off it.
01:56:17.000 They have like the best times?
01:56:18.000 Yeah.
01:56:19.000 What if Mexico was doing that, though?
01:56:21.000 Like, this is like another country, it's like, we already filmed this, it's hilarious.
01:56:24.000 Okay, here's what we do.
01:56:25.000 There's two ports of entry next to each other.
01:56:27.000 One is that you walk up and apply with piece of paper, and the other is a Ninja Warrior course that if you get passed, you're in, baby!
01:56:32.000 You made it!
01:56:34.000 No!
01:56:35.000 That's not enough of a reason to let people into this country!
01:56:37.000 It is amusing, though.
01:56:39.000 Hey, but that's like the best and the brightest.
01:56:41.000 Like, that's a good reason.
01:56:42.000 It's the brightest!
01:56:43.000 What are you talking about?
01:56:44.000 That's a skill test, right?
01:56:46.000 That's how we know we can beat them in the military.
01:56:49.000 I feel like you guys don't understand culture or loyalty here.
01:56:54.000 Watching them, like, do the salmon ladder, where it's like, you pull apart.
01:56:57.000 Look, I love skill tech.
01:56:59.000 American Ninja Warrior is great, but I will emphasize American Ninja Warrior.
01:57:03.000 I think it's important that we have culture and loyalty and patriotism.
01:57:07.000 And I think if you're trying to scale the wall to break into this country illegally, you're not doing the values I appreciate.
01:57:13.000 Who wants to be an American Ninja?
01:57:15.000 Hold on, I got an idea.
01:57:19.000 It's the right title.
01:57:20.000 Who Wants to be an American Ninja Warrior?
01:57:22.000 It's a combination of Who Wants to be a Millionaire and American Ninja Warrior where after every obstacle you have to answer a question about the United States.
01:57:29.000 With increasing difficulty.
01:57:31.000 And then you have to agree that you will never take part in chain migration.
01:57:35.000 There has to be a little bit more here.
01:57:37.000 No, we just make that not legal.
01:57:39.000 Sure, I'd be happy to do that, but until then...
01:57:42.000 Okay, can we produce this?
01:57:43.000 Is this a 10K show now?
01:57:45.000 Who wants to be an American Ninja Warrior?
01:57:49.000 Earn your citizenship in 20 minutes by running this course and answering all of the questions with increasing difficulty.
01:57:56.000 And then, or how about you have to answer the question while doing the course?
01:57:59.000 Yeah.
01:57:59.000 So you're like on the salmon ladder and you're like, the third president with John Adams!
01:58:04.000 Was it?
01:58:04.000 No, it was Thomas Jefferson, right?
01:58:06.000 Uh oh, you gotta go back.
01:58:06.000 I don't know, man.
01:58:09.000 I'm bad at my presidents.
01:58:11.000 All right, here we go.
01:58:13.000 FringePatriotGaming says, Hey Tim, this question may be pointless if we actually head into World War 3, but are you interested in sponsoring other people with Cast Brew?
01:58:21.000 If so, what's the best way to contact your team?
01:58:23.000 We are!
01:58:25.000 But so far, I think we only have one person we're sponsoring just now.
01:58:30.000 I don't know if we can say it just yet.
01:58:33.000 I think it's probably obvious who it is.
01:58:34.000 It's me.
01:58:35.000 Don't even worry about it, guys.
01:58:36.000 But once we get all that sorted, maybe.
01:58:38.000 For now, I don't know what we're doing.
01:58:39.000 It's also like, if we sponsor somebody, we have to make more money than we give them in sponsorships.
01:58:47.000 So if we're sponsoring someone and it's costing us X amount of dollars, but we're making X minus one dollar, then...
01:58:54.000 You know, with like a slight loss, it might still be worth it just for building brand by having, you know, sponsorships.
01:59:00.000 But ultimately, you have to sell more than you're spending.
01:59:03.000 Otherwise, you just lose, you just shut down, you know?
01:59:08.000 Alright, Joseph Velvet says, Tim, do you remember the civil response to the Bundy ranch situation?
01:59:13.000 Yes, I do.
01:59:15.000 He says, Texas feels like that again.
01:59:17.000 I remember that we had Em and Bunny on the show, and boy, are they trying to destroy that guy's life.
01:59:20.000 That's crazy.
01:59:22.000 All right!
01:59:23.000 Frontline Tekken says, Hey Tim, considering you mentioned we used to be a Christian country, would you consider getting Doug Wilson on the show sometime?
01:59:29.000 I don't know who he is, but... No idea.
01:59:30.000 Maybe!
01:59:30.000 Never heard of that.
01:59:32.000 Yeah, maybe, uh... Just spelled Doug Wilson?
01:59:34.000 Culture war is usually better for long cultural conversations and arguments and stuff.
01:59:39.000 Whereas, like, IRL, we go through news stories.
01:59:43.000 Uh, let's grab, uh, grab one more here.
01:59:46.000 Albedam says, how about a trench with friggin' sharks with friggin' lasers on their friggin' heads?
01:59:52.000 There you go, there you go.
01:59:53.000 My friends, if you have not already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends.
01:59:58.000 Head over to TimCast.com, click join us, because this show is made possible thanks in part to viewers like you.
02:00:03.000 When you become a member, you get access to all of our member content.
02:00:05.000 We got a couple of documentaries, we're making more, it's just, it's expensive.
02:00:09.000 And, uh, the more members we have, the more we can do, the more we can hire.
02:00:12.000 And we are basically, we're at that point.
02:00:15.000 So we need to, we need to pitch better.
02:00:17.000 I'll tell you, the one thing we don't have is the members team, which all these other companies do have, where they call people on the phone and say, Hey, I see that you, uh, canceled your membership.
02:00:26.000 Can we convince you to sign back up?
02:00:28.000 And what was the reason?
02:00:29.000 We don't do any of that.
02:00:30.000 Cause we're like operating on duct tape over here.
02:00:32.000 Yeah.
02:00:33.000 We're also America first.
02:00:34.000 We don't outsource that to Bangladesh.
02:00:35.000 No, but like some of these other podcasts, they have like two guys in the office.
02:00:38.000 Yeah, it's true.
02:00:38.000 Go through the list making phone calls.
02:00:40.000 I thought it was funny, Serge.
02:00:41.000 And I'm like, I don't know.
02:00:43.000 Should we do that?
02:00:45.000 Maybe.
02:00:45.000 Perhaps.
02:00:46.000 Maybe we get more people to sign back up.
02:00:48.000 Well, because I used to work for, when I used to do the non-profit fundraising, some people would be like, you'd call them and they'd say, no, I'm still a member.
02:00:54.000 And they'd be like, uh, your payment stopped going through.
02:00:55.000 And I'm like, oh, I'm sorry.
02:00:56.000 Here's my new, my new information.
02:00:57.000 And then you're like, cool.
02:00:58.000 Some people don't even realize they aren't members anymore.
02:01:00.000 And some people have like a card, kick them off or whatever.
02:01:02.000 But yeah, that's what it is.
02:01:03.000 The expired card, the worst enemy of a subscription company.
02:01:07.000 Yup.
02:01:07.000 Yup.
02:01:08.000 And so maybe that's what we gotta do.
02:01:09.000 We gotta just call people.
02:01:10.000 But anyway, my friends, thank you for being members.
02:01:11.000 Really do appreciate it.
02:01:12.000 You make it all possible.
02:01:13.000 And we'll be back, of course, Monday.

02:02:03.000 In a couple weeks?
02:02:03.000 Or do you guys have a launch date?
02:02:05.000 I think we don't have a date yet, but it should be pretty soon.
02:02:07.000 Cool.
