And OBS not working, huh? Well, no, no, no, the stream deck doesn't work. Welcome to the show, everybody. Yeah, we're having stream deck problems, but it's cool because we're here. And we got fancy news for you. October surprise, I guess they're running this hoax. Kamala Harris comes out, gives a press conference where she's like, Donald Trump says he wants generals like Hitler.

Yeah, the only thing is it's anonymous sources. The conversation allegedly happened a long time ago, and no one believes it actually happened. The story is largely debunked by people who are in and around this. Staffers who work with Trump said this conversation never happened. And they're trying to besmirch his good name over a fallen soldier whose family is like, this never happened. And we are supporting Donald Trump. They're claiming that Trump was grumbling because he was like, did I agree to pay for this funeral? Oh, it's so expensive. Yeah, absolutely nuts. Well, following this, Donald Trump has slammed Kamala Harris for fanning the flames of violence. And sure enough, we got a bunch of stories for

you. Charlie Kirk apparently had someone was threatening them, got arrested. We've got breaking reports, this crazy video of a woman going to someone's house and screaming at him. Yeah, we got we got to chill everything everything out, and we'll talk about that. But we also have Polymarket once again. We're keeping up with the latest because we are less than two weeks out from election day. We are in election month, whatever that means, I guess. So it's going to be hot, to say the least. And we'll get into all the latest stories and details pertaining to the election and those polls. Before we do, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy Cast Brew Coffee.

Why? It's good. Appalachian Nights, everybody's favorite. Rise with Roberto Jr. It's a breakfast blend. It's a light roast. Very good. And then we got Colombian appears to be sold out. That's unfortunate. But of course, there's always Ian's Graphene Dream. If you ever wonder what it was like to be in the mind of Ian, drink this coffee. I'm kidding. There's nothing wrong with the coffee. It's normal coffee, so you wouldn't actually be in his mind. But it does taste good, and it's low acidity, and everybody likes it. And of course, you can head over to boonieshq.com and pick up a Boonies skateboard. We are sold. Oh, man, we're sold out of Step on Snack and Find Out. It's great that we sold out, but we will have more in stock soon. However, I have good news. The Boobies is still

available, so if you're a fan of the Blue-F Footed Boobies board, which everybody loves, we have sold like 300 of these already. There are still several sizes left, but they're going quickly. And then, of course, we've got a Mr. Bocas skateboard if you're a fan of the show and the Tim Pool rooster board. New designs are coming out soon. Also head over to TimCast.com.

Smash the like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with everyone you know. Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Brandon Buckingham. Thank you so much for having me, Tim. Who are you? What do you do? I'm a YouTuber. I guess you could call me an on-the-ground journalist or just some guy who fucks around with a camera, but yeah, lately I've been traveling all across the world in America and filming different communities, people, and sometimes just fucking around and drinking in the streets.

You've seen some pretty crazy stuff. Yeah, no one's heard from me for a while. So yeah, I was recently involved in a shooting in Chicago where six gunmen hopped out on us at three in the morning and they had switches, emptied their guns. Full auto. Yeah, I was with five other people. Four of them got hit, one of which was my cameraman. A bullet hit him in the neck. Why did they do that?

Well, I think as my channel is growing, when I link up with rappers or gang members and I do a piece about them, the rival side or the opposing side then paints me as the enemy. I don't think I was targeted necessarily. This is 100% true. I remember when Vice had gone down and interviewed but... This is 100% true. I remember when Vice had gone down and interviewed a bunch of gangs in Chicago, and I straight up told them, I was like, you guys are

going to be marked by the rival gangs. You're giving cred and visibility exposure to a faction that is at odds with another faction. But we'll talk about all that. So, pretty wild. Glad to have you here. We got Ian hanging out. Hey, guys. Good to be here, man. Ian Crossland.

You probably know me by now if you watch the show. Very happy to be here. Musician, actor. Let's rock and roll, baby. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

Let's get into it. We got the story from CNBC. Harris blasts Trump on reported Hitler comments. Says he wants unchecked power. Really? I'm just this is it's so tiring. It's absurd. It makes no sense. The story's been refuted. There's no evidence. There's there's no sources. Let me let me let me tell you guys, you don't need to hear it from me. A lot of people like Donald Trump. They're not going to believe it anyway. But for anybody out there who doesn't like Donald Trump, news organizations used to require three sources

if they didn't have direct evidence. That means if you were going to try to claim that Trump said that he wanted generals like Hitler had, which is the claim they're making, you would need three individuals on the record saying independently and individually, I was there. Here's what happened. That way you could say, hey, we got three people. Now what they do is they're like, I heard this guy. I ain't telling you who it is, by the way, but he claims this thing happened. Then when you get an on the record dispute, they still run the story. Take a look at this from The Atlantic. The Atlantic ran the story, Trump, I need the kind of generals that Hitler had. The Republican nominee's preoccupation

with dictators and disdain for the American military is deepening. This is fake news. And unfortunately, there are people who don't know how to parse through this. When we scroll down, we'll get to the point where they actually try and run the quote. They say the personal qualities displayed by Trump in his reaction to the cost of the Guillen funeral, probably not saying that wrong, contempt, rage, parsimony, racism, hardly surprises inner circle, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They say as his presidency drew to a close and in the years since, he has become more and more interested in the advantages of dictatorship and the absolute control over the military that he believes it would deliver. Quote, I need the kind of generals that Hitler had, Trump said in a private conversation in the White House, according to two people who heard him say this, quote, people who were totally loyal to him that follow orders. And then they add in parentheses, quote, this is absolutely false.

Pfeiffer wrote in an email. President Trump never said this. So let me ask you a question. You got it. You got a guy on the record quoted who said that never happened. And we're supposed to believe that two random people we don't know who claim it did happen. And that's that's good information. Good enough for the public to believe. love it hearsay just say anything all the time he said she said run the story they have trump in quotes saying something that was overheard that's great i i don't even think that that this is about trying to convince voters i think this is preparing the landscape for a trump win and some kind of illegal action afterwards to prevent Trump from taking office. So all this, all of the Trump is,

because they've gone, they've tried these tactics before and they haven't worked. They're not really effective. All they do is they gin up their base, but they don't convince anyone. Like your average, if you're an undecided voter, you've heard this story a million times in the past 10 years or eight years or whatever. It's not compelling. If it wasn't compelling in 2016, 17, 18, then it's not compelling now, especially seeing as the general opinion on Trump has softened to people in the middle. So now this isn't about trying to convince people. It's about preparing the landscape for some kind of action should Trump win.

And I think that this is what you're going to see going until the election because the Harris campaign doesn't think that they can actually convince voters anymore. They tried calling Trump racist and it didn't work, but it did get clicks. They then called him the most racist and it didn't work, but it did get them clicks. Then they tried saying he's almost as bad as Hitler, got clicks, but they got to keep escalating it.

So eventually got to the point where they said he is Hitler, then he's worse than Hitler. Now he wants to have generals that are just like Hitler. But here's my favorite. The Atlantic wrote this only, I think this was last week. What is this? October 18th. Trump is speaking like Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini. Ah, yes. That would make him a fascist communazi. If they want to combine all of those dictators, he's a fascist communazi. I don't know how those things come together, but they're basically saying he is speaking like a dictator. We get it.

Now, Hitler didn't work. So they're like, what if we add Stalin and Mussolini to that as well? I mean, maybe that scares people. I like including him. That's good. Yeah. Just like a fruit punch of dictators that Trump could be like. Yeah.

Not just Hitler. Not just Hitler. You know, because as conservatives come out and said, you know, the communists were bad, too. They killed tens of millions, 100 million plus people. They were like, OK, we'll just put Hitler and a communist and then include a fascist. What did he say? Grab your mic, Ian. Thanks, man.

Thanks for reminding me, sir. You're not wearing your headphones. What did he? That's a good point. I haven't been wearing them lately. What did he say that that they think he sounds like Hitler, Mussolini? Hitler did kind of sound like Mussolini. Mussolini was his idol he idolized the guy and he kind of you know garnered the nazi fascist regime after muslim's regime he

kind of based it off of it but stalin i mean dictator was speaks like dictator maybe what was trump i mean what i i don't think that it matters just it doesn't it's not about what trump said like i said it doesn't matter what trump does this isn't about trump and it's not about what Trump said. Like I said, it doesn't matter what Trump does. This isn't about Trump and it's not about the election. This is about preparing the landscape so that way they can justify saying he's so bad we can't allow him to take office. I think Civil War. I mean, look. I'm jumping right to 11, but let me tell you why real quick because I don't want to just leave it there. It's because right now, Democrats are leading in early

voting, but Republicans have made massive gains. Republicans are expected to win on election day. This means that Democrats and Republicans have two different elections at the same time. The idea that you can have a day of election, Republicans are like on election day, we all go vote. And Democrats are like, we can collect votes throughout the month. Those are two completely different systems operating in parallel at different times. And then we compare the numbers and see which side got more. Republicans recently started participating in absentee and mail-in voting more so. And so they have massive gains now. So right now what they're saying is because Republicans are closing the gap in absentee and mail-in, it's expected that Republicans are going to win based on the data we already have from the Democrat version of what

election is. However, if there's still only 5 million Republican voters, I mean, the hypothetical number, and 2.5 million vote early, 2.5 million will vote on day of. So if we're seeing Republicans embrace mail-in and early voting now, it doesn't necessarily mean there will be more votes on election day. But the reason why I said civil war is I think it's important people actually consider the, when, what I see with, uh, what, what you're saying, Phil, how they're laying out the framework for what comes, it's not about the election. It's about what comes after we've talked about in the past that when Trump tries to deport all of these illegal immigrants, they're going to start running photos of buses, of trains,

of the military operation, of police, and they're going to juxtapose them with World War II and Holocaust photos and say, see, we told you. They're going to use all of this to prime and prep the people who live in Democrat weirdo world who believe these things despite them being unsourced. It's nonsense. And then you have the fact that I think it's fair to say Republicans come out and they go. Election day is November 5th and the Constitution prescribes a single day for voting. And Democrats go, we don't care. We're going to vote all month and collect ballots and then turn them in nine days afterwards. So you can count them. And then 13 days after the election, determine who won.

Those are two completely different systems. Republicans tolerate the Democrats version of events and then consider their outside of the rules numbers. There's the there's this isn't this is also in conjunction with I believe it was a DOD directive 5240.01, which is allowing the intelligence organization or intelligence apparatus to work in conjunction with law enforcement. One of the key points, it says, the directive outlines policies for intelligence components support to law enforcement agencies, including potential use of lethal force. Now, this is inside the United States, right? These are things that are supposed to be prohibited by the Constitution. CIA is not supposed to operate in the U.S. But this directive 5240.01, it's an internal Department of Defense policy document that details procedures for DOD intelligence components assistance to U.S. law enforcement. The directive has undergone revisions with some of the most recent versions published on September 27th, 2024. Rumors have circulated about a reissued directive allegedly targeting individuals who raise concerns

about U.S. government activities. That's Elon Musk. That's Joe Rogan. That's us here. That is... Not me. You think so. I'm kidding. People that raise concerns about government activities? Yes. That's the quote?

That's the point of the United the 2016 version of the DoD. That's the point of the United States. There is a concern against them. I'm aware. Let me go through this. The 2016 version of the DoD Manual 5240.01, published on August 8, 2016, focuses on intelligence oversight, ensuring independent monitoring of intelligence activities within the DOD, the 2020 update to the 2007 issuance of the directive, and the 2016 manual are mentioned as points of comparison, with some speculating about language, differences, and potential implications. The point is, they've authorized the DOD and intelligence apparatus,

that would be CIA, working in conjunction with law enforcement, that's to target American citizens, which is, it's supposed to be off limits. But this, in conjunction with the stuff that they're saying, that Kamala Harris has said today, the narrative that's being spun, I don't think that it's far-fetched to say that they're going to do something, should Trump win, to prevent him from taking office. And honestly, like I said, everybody that's in the podcasting space, everyone that's a dissenting voice, we'll all have targets on our back, too. Well, the entire United States is a dissenting voice against government. That's not true at all. That's the whole purpose is it's a revolution against the crown.

You're going to say this again? We are talking about the United States government. We are in constant revolution. Our government is a constant revolution. You're derailing a serious conversation. They can target anybody, dude. You understand what that means? Anyone that complains about the government.

This is not a derailment. Tim, I was going to call you Tim because I'm so used to it. The point is this is specifically going to be targeting people that don't support the general narrative. They're not going to target MSNBC. Well, you're assuming that, but you're probably right. But still, they could. They're not going to target MSNBC. They're not going to target people in the administration.

They're not going to target NBC. They're not going to target people that are normies that aren't involved in in political action or in in even even in criticizing the federal government they're going to target people that have that have been critical of the government people like i said like joe rogan elon musk glenn beck uh tucker carlson uh obviously they they would target us people that are influential you know those are the people that they would be after and they're going this is this is And the point of this stuff is to prepare the landscape. So they say Donald Trump is the big Hitler. Donald Trump is super Hitler.

And then after that, if they go ahead and throw him in jail, which I totally believe they will do if Kamala Harris wins, and if not, I think that they will try to throw him in jail and say that he didn't win the election or they'll say that he's some kind of threat or something like that. And I don't have any kind of like evidence or anything, but that's just my gut feeling. But there's no there's I mean, why wouldn't they? They've lied about people. They threw a boatload of people in jail after January 6th.

Steve Bannon still in jail right now. They would they put Roger Stone in jail. They're trying to put Trump in jail using any means they have. Why wouldn't they try to toss people in jail? Biden yesterday said we need to put him away or something. Lock him up. Lock him up. Politically,

which is what, a political prison? No, no, no. He said we need to lock him up. The whole crowd starts clapping and cheering, and then he goes, politically lock him up. Which is still like a political imprisonment. It's still an imprisonment. They locked up a lot of people for political reasons. That's a good point. Politically lock him up. That's even worse, actually.

Yeah, they've put a lot of people in prison, and I don't see any reason for them to stop, especially if Kamala Harris wins. They'll feel like they have a mandate. Don't you feel like some of this labeling is losing its power, though? Like everyone being literally Hitler all the time? It's not about getting people to believe it it's about creating a narrative that justifies action doesn't matter because the the people that are kamala harris supporters people that are that

are democrat supporters they're already they already believe this they'll eat it up yeah they're going to eat it up so what they're doing isn't trying to convince people like i said this isn't about getting votes this isn't about convincing the very, very narrow margin or the very few people that are undecided. This is about creating a narrative that will justify actions that are illegal, justify actions that would go contrary to the vote should Donald Trump win. It's about preparing the landscape for action. It's not about convincing anyone of anything. Yeah, that makes a sense i mean i was at january 6th all day and uh you know they talk about the insurrectionists the white supremacists that were there and uh i i thought that the news coverage of that was uh was shocking compared to my on the ground perspective of what i

saw january 6th and uh yeah i'm happy i didn't walk in that building yeah i'll say that because it was uh it was easy you could have walked right in it seemed like they were just letting people in yeah i'm happy that i was as posting from New Hampshire. Yeah. I want to jump to this tweet that we got from Jen Cougar of the Young Turks. He tweeted this out today. I have never seen both sides of an election this confident. One of them is very wrong.

Both sides are in their own bubble and don't realize there is a reality outside of those bubbles. So whoever loses is going to be absolutely shocked. Kamala Harris was losing in six out of the last seven polls in Michigan, but now she's up by four in that state in the last poll. This thing keeps swinging back and forth. I've never seen it so unpredictable. think he has a mind for this space. It is true that no one knows what's going to happen, but Trump supporters absolutely are not sitting here screaming, we've got this one in the bag. In fact, despite the polls and polymarket, everything favoring Trump, they're screaming, everyone get out and vote, get everyone to vote because there's going to be some shenanigans. We've got to swamp the vote. There is still fear within Republicans they're going to lose. And despite the fact that polymarket has Trump at right now 61.7, a common basis 38.5, real clear politics has Trump winning every single

battleground state and all battleground states in aggregate. Democrats are still saying we're going to win, we're going to win. And it may not be because they're deluded. It's because they have to say it. They can't drop the morale of their voter base by saying there's no point. Don't even bother. So certainly there are elements of both sides that are that are confident. But I think what we're seeing here with the polls, polymarket is the general view of the public is that Donald Trump and the Republicans are going to win and win bigly. But no one knows for sure. I think it's fair to say if Democrats are claiming they're going to win and win bigly, but no one knows for sure, I think it's fair to say if Democrats are claiming they're going to win, it is because they're intentionally ignoring the reality of this. So to say it's both sides and it's swinging back and forth and nobody knows is totally wrong.

But at least someone on the right track. You know, I heard about Chunk Uyghur. I heard he was literally Hitler. I heard that that too. Isn't that crazy? You just heard it just now from him. Let me show you. A source. Report on it. Yeah, a source close to YouTube told me that he was literally Hitler. So was his nephew as well.

You have a YouTube channel? Yeah. Take a look at this from the battlegrounds. Trump is up 0.9. So he says, like, what did he say, Michigan? He says Kamala was down in the polls in Michigan. Okay, well, in Michigan right now, Trump is up point two in aggregate. And if we jump in, he is correct that Quinnipiac has plus four for Kamala Harris. But around the exact same time frame, Trafalgar has Trump up to

these polls are largely meaningless. It's fair to say no one knows for sure. Hence, Republicans are screaming, get as many people to vote as possible. But what happens? Well, my thoughts are I've been studying imperial strategy a lot lately. 1947 is when the British Empire technically ended after World War Two. They basically turned it into the liberal economic order. They're like, we're done with this, like having an emperor guy control it. We're just going to make a liberal economic order controlled by the CIA and MI6. So like I was studying.

The CIA didn't exist in 1947. Well, 1949 is when they officially launched it, but it was around, it had a different name since the 30s or something. 1975, there's the Australian coup. I don't know if you guys have really ever studied this, but they appointed a governor general

to overthrow this Australian prime minister that was, Goh was his name, and he wanted to get out of Vietnam and take away Pine Gap from American sovereignty. He wanted, he's like Australia first, and he wanted to get out of Vietnam and take away Pine Gap from American sovereignty. He wanted, he's like, Australia first, and they're like, no, that can't happen. Empire must succeed. So the CIA got this governor general, got the king to, like, appoint him. And, like, it's basically like late-stage Roman Republic, where the Praetorian Guard's in control of the emperor, and if the emperor crosses them, he's done for.

Are you suggesting that polls and predictions are meaningless because the deep state will put Kamala in? Yes. And I think that they like closeness because it makes good media attention to think it's within two. It makes Republicans think we have a fighting chance if we keep pushing. And the CIA is controlling the game. And I think that they're going to, it's just, it's stacked against us.

I mean, I still think go out and vote because Donald Trump did win in 2016, but they didn't feel threatened against him in 2016. Whoever they are, this this strategy, this imperial strategy would be really funny. It would be really funny if that Trump Trump was supposed to win on the merits. But the Democrats, the deep state was was cheating to install Hillary. But then the Russians pressed the button turning off their computer so that Trump actually won on the merits. And they were like, oh, crap, it was the Russians. But the Russians actually didn't cheat to help Trump.

You know what I mean? Like a multilayered conspiracy of conflicting intelligence agencies from Russia to the U.S. We need to stop them from cheating. They're like, they're stopping us. Exactly. Because of Russia, we lost, but we were cheating. I'm not saying that happened. I'm saying, wouldn't it be funny if what actually happened is that Trump did win,

but Democrats were going to press a button to flip the votes to support Hillary, but then the Russians flipped a button to flip their votes back. So Trump ended up winning normally. And then they're like, how did we not win? The rigors. It's rigged. It does feel like we're part of a pre-planned thing. But Trump winning in 2016 gave me out

outside of that perspective i was pretty and i consider this a form of being blackpilled being like look the cia runs the show it always has kennedy got offed you know they overthrew the prime minister in australia in 1975 he wasn't serving the king or whatever the whoever's running the show mi6 i don't know, man. I think Trump does represent American sovereignty in the sense he kind of gives like business first, local economics first, and that there's like a global governance scheme that's kind of like trying to position and control the world through economics and military force if they have to.

And Trump's kind of like indicates it in a way. When you say control the world through economics, what do you – Well, they want this liberal economic dollar to run the show. What do you – what is your concern about that? The vulnerability of fiat currency, that if they can print as much as they want and bribe people, like bribe countries and buy them if okay so i mean i understand that that the goal for a lot of a lot of countries or for the united states is to have people use the dollar and because that props up the dollar and allows them to you know overspend and stuff like that is is do you believe that that is for nefarious intent and and if you do why yeah the uh us aid uh it's basically the the central

cortex of the of the of the empire you know it's called us aid um i don't USAID, it's basically the central cortex of the empire. It's called USAID. I don't know what it stands. It doesn't mean aid. Are you guys familiar with it off the top of your heads? No. It's an agency for international development. The U.S. Agency for International Development.

It controls the Department of Defense, the CIA, and it's like the center go-through for all these agencies. It's not really supposed to have a center go-through. They're supposed to be independent. So the USAID got created, and its kind of job is to go create... Mike Benz knows this stuff real well, and I think he's coming on the show pretty soon. We can go deep on USAID, is to create value outside of the U.S. And what they'll do is they'll buy countries. They'll basically flood their markets with U.S. dollars through bribery and then take control of their economies. And that's kind of been the tactic.

When you say take control, what do you mean by take control? They make sure that they're on their currency. So using the dollar. Yeah. But that, do you mean, when you say take control, it implies like there's the U.S. trying to direct their economy. Is that what you're saying? I don't know if it's the U.S., but it's whoever's controlling the monetary.

You said USAID, right? USAID is the organization that's running it. Yeah, right. And it goes through the IMF, the World Bank, et cetera, the Swift Payment. Yeah, the Bank for International Settlements. Can you steel man the existence of the USAID? USAID is a real thing.

It exists. And they provide money and resources on the surface to foreign countries. And many accuse them of actually being a subversive force that, for instance, in Ukraine, there are a lot of actually being a subversive force that, for instance, in Ukraine, there are a lot of people that claim USAID was actually the structure by which they implemented the overthrowing of the Yanukovych government to create a more pro-Western government.

So the structure is this is this is basically the confessions of the economic hitman. You're familiar with that book? No, actually, no. In order for the liberal economic order to maintain control they first go and say hey you've got a developing nation we want you to do what we want we want and we're going to give you tons of money you're going to get a big stack of u.s dollars we're going to build roads mcdonald's grocery stores you're going to be a developed nation and if they say no they say okay if you don't do it you get the stick carrot or the stick

what do you pick and if they pick the if they refuse the carrot, then they'll try to remove them through a coup of some sort. OK, the coups fail. Then you get a Saddam Hussein or Gaddafi type scenario. OK, that's the claim made. It's the book Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Yeah. What what is true, however, is that, yeah, the IMF offers loans developing nations.

Yeah. And the simplest version of it, I would argue the non-conspiratorial or steel man argument of the IMF is, it's a bank that give out loans to developing countries because they believe if we develop in this nation and build businesses, we'll get labor back in kind and they'll pay back the loan. But what ends up happening is most of these countries

develop massive debt to an international bank they can't pay back, and then just become debt indentured servant vassal states to an international structured structured whatever you want to call it and then when you cross the line they'll kick you out of the swift payment system so your credit cards don't work no more yeah well the the point that i was trying to get is like ian you is oftentimes you're talking about these things without actually fleshing out the argument you make and you imply a lot of nefarious things, but you've never, I've never really heard you articulate what it is that you find so objectionable.

Like the other night when you're talking about, um, the emperor, you're like, well, it's not supposed to be. And it's like, well, why not? This is a good question. And what, what is objectionable about a method of control by which you offer resources and then put someone in debt? Well, I mean, if it was at their will, if it wasn't like you were saying earlier about this hitman strategy, like we're going to control your nation one way or another or another, and you get to pick, do you want to be bribed out and just be a serve to us and pay us back for the rest of your life and owe us interest on all our loans to you? Or do you want us to remove you and then take control of your country? Or do you want us to invade and take it by force? It's your choice. That's my problem with it, is this strategy.

If it was just like, hey, do you want some money? You'll end up paying us back in the long run. If not, okay, that's fine. Do your thing. That'd be a different story. If it's a developing nation that doesn't have a lot of economic activity, right, and they're giving loans to these countries so that way they can develop, they can have a functioning economy or have a more prosperous economy and it helps the people of the country, why is that bad? Well, I mean, if it helps the people of the country, it does a lot of times lift people out of poverty. That's true. I think my point being like the argument that you're making sounds like an argument against capitalism, right? Against the method that we use to fund projects. And that kind of boils down to an argument against capitalism. Capitalism is the best system to raise people out of poverty. The reason we don't have a total, you know, poverty being the norm globally, and it's

not. We've got like, I think less than 10% of the population is in abject poverty anymore, I think the UN said. And by like 2035, you're going to get rid of all objective poverty, which is like living on less than a dollar a day, different amounts of money are necessary in different countries to keep people fed and stuff. But but capitalism is the is the engine that has raised the standard of living for people globally forever, even China, like China was a basket case of a of a of an economy until the 70s or something like that, when Nixon went and opened up a little bit little bit China decided to open up markets and then they started to actually produce something for the people people stopped starving all the time so like the argument sounds like the argument when you talk about it sounds like you're against you know the liberal economic order it's like

liberalism is generally good right and the economic order that has been produced has raised a massive amount of people, billions of people out of poverty. So I'm not sure what your problem, what your argument against it is when it's actually done really great things for billions of human beings. Well, one would be the centralization of control. That makes me nervous because if crazy people get in control of that system, if there's one system and everybody relies on this one economic order, if crazy people get in there, like we don't like this type of person

and we don't like that kind of culture, you're like, whoa, hold on. This is earth. We're all in this together. It's not your 80 people's decision of who gets to go poor and who gets to live. And that's one concern is centralization of control. Another one is like, look what they did in Libya.

Libya was an example of Gaddafi wanting to get off the U.S. dollar. And I think he wanted to adopt a gold standard. And they were like, that's not going to fly, bro. And they just basically killed the man and took the country. He wanted an African union and he wanted to trade oil and gold. And that's against the wishes of the Western powers. So they take him out. And so you see what happens

when it's attempted to defy. And we should move on, absolutely, because you're just getting too esoteric, and that's a culture war conversation. Well, yeah, this is for Mike Benz, too. Let's jump to the post-millennial. Trump campaign calls out stone-cold loser Kamala for continuing to stoke the flames of violence

in her brief remarks to reporters. So this, of course, is following Kamala Harris' making this ridiculous statement about Trump wanting generals like Hitler, which has been refuted by people named and on the record and only supported by unnamed nobodies no one's ever heard of. We don't know who they're talking about. Quote, Kamala Harris is a stone cold loser who is increasingly desperate because she is flailing and her campaign is in shambles. That is why she continues to peddle outright lies and falsehoods that are easily disproven. The fact is that Kamala's dangerous rhetoric is directly to blame for the multiple assassination attempts against President Trump, and she continues to stoke the

flames of violence all in the name of politics. She is despicable, and her grotesque behavior proves she is wholly unfit for office. Well, how's about this one? Pennsylvania McDonald's franchise retains security after trump's visit leads to threats what a ridiculous case man the owner of a pennsylvania mcdonald's that made news over the weekend after trump went there uh has retained private security following threats made of location jim worthington a key organizer of trump's visit uh to the pennsylvania delegation blah blah told the daily caller mcdon McDonald's has received threatening phone calls and social media messages after the former president's appearance. In response, Giacomo Antonio, who had already hired private

security ahead of the event, retained their services to protect his employees. Jessica Mijo, a Bucks County resident, described the heightened security when she visited the McDonald's. We walked in. It seemed fine. We ordered and we sat down. But then we looked to our left and there were several armed guards just sitting there. One of the guards stepped outside and I saw him walking around our car. I thought he was checking if we have our insurance or something. Then my husband and I are like, these guys are security. These guys are really watching and seeing what's going on. It was then I made the connection to Trump. Despite the threats, Worthington emphasized that the community has overwhelmingly supported

the restaurant. The community is really embracing it. And a lot of people have come here since Sunday just to patronize the restaurant. Now, I don't think it's solely just Kamala Harris that is causing things like this to happen. But certainly when she goes and gives a press conference, she's actually doing a town hall tonight, which we don't care to watch because it's probably going to be painful. Empty words where she uses lots of them to say nothing. But it is true that as Democrats go on TV over and over again and prime a nation wound up as tight as can be, eventually that spring snaps back into the other direction that energy gets released. And now you've got a McDonald's having to have private security because of death threats. You've got there's a ton of crazy videos, right? We got this video that went viral.

A woman goes to someone's house for no reason and asks her why she's voting for trump and then yells at her flicks off lady why did you come to this like could you imagine you're at home and someone knocks on your door like uh for no reason i just don't like you because you voted for trump and i'm going to scream in your face these people are unhinged and if some random old woman is willing to cross that line of going to a stranger's house to insult them, imagine what someone who's truly crazy is willing to do as they ramp up this rhetoric. So I agree with Donald Trump. Castle doctrine.

I'm just joking. Well, I mean, if someone breaks into your house and is threatening your life, we hope it doesn't get to that point. Yeah. But that's what I fear if the rhetoric keeps escalating in this in this regard. Kamala Harris and Democrats saying Trump is going to that point. But that's what I fear if the rhetoric keeps escalating in this regard. Kamala Harris and Democrats saying Trump is going to be Hitler. They're claiming he's going to use the military against

the American public. He's never said that. That's insane. You know, look, man, it's projection. They say the Republicans are doing this thing and they're going to do that when Democrats are the ones

who have a tendency for street-level violence. Republicans don't do this. They try and cite January 6th over and over again, despite the fact that it's Democrats that in 2017 ransacked D.C. because Trump got elected. Then you have Democrats in May of 2020 setting fire to St. John's Church and firebombing the White House. And you have consistently with, say, the Summer of Love protests.

It is leftists and Democrats. I should it's not it's not Democrat leadership. It's run of the mill regular folks who vote Democrat who are joining these protests and engaging in extreme degrees of violence. It's sort of like that phenomenon of people that have been abused do the abuse to other people. You'd think someone that receives abuse would be like, understand how horrible it is worse than anyone else and be the most likely not to do it again. But it's the weird cycle of like, look, look it happened to me so i'm going to project it on to others and with with people supporting movements that are perpetuating violence like the pretty brutal burning down of cities and stuff during these riots and just kind of like being

kind of okay with it you'll see the projection of that outside. It's like they're forcing that kind of abusive behavior now outside after they allowed it to happen. And the cognitive dissonance of like thinking, making themselves think it's normal because they don't want to seem like they were a victim or part of a problem. That's, I think, a lot of what's going on. My concern is, well, I will start by saying Republicans, what is it, one out of 10 instances? Is there someone on the right doing something? It's just been consistently over the past decade, as far as I've seen, longer than that, longer than a decade since going back to Occupy. What did Tea Party do?

You ever see Tea Parties running around firebombing buildings and beating people up? They were super calm. Yeah, I remember going to— It was a peaceful movement. I went to Philly, and there was a Tea Party event event and it was a bunch of people sitting in lawn chairs then you go to these leftist protests and they're smashing up windows throwing things in the street fighting with cops it's it's it that's just what they do tea party events they had they like cleaned up after themselves there were all these times that the tea party had protests or whatever and they would

always like take their trash out with them and the place was i mean it wasn't perfect you know because not everyone's on board but like it was significantly cleaner than when the left has a protest where they break like not only is it a mess but they like smash windows and light cars on fire and stuff the tea party guys didn't loot the gucci stores no they didn't surprising right shocking yeah there were little old ladies with little american flags and red shirts and American flag hats, and they're waving them in a lawn in Philadelphia. And I was like, well, this is boring. It was funny because I've covered all these protests, and I was like, man, this is crazy.

The cops are firing rubber bullets, and there's tear gas. And then I went to a tea party event, and I walked around, and nothing happened. And they're just sitting in lawn chairs, and then they left. And then after they left, they cleaned up their garbage and picked up the chairs, and I was just looking around like, but nothing happened and they're just sitting in lawn chairs and then they left. And then after they left, they cleaned up their garbage and picked up the chairs. And I was just looking around like, but nothing happened. Like, I guess the challenge for the, for people on the right, especially is there's no news when you do that. And so the left actually wins politically in terrifying cases where, for instance, when, uh, at Trump's inauguration, when they ransacked DC, they all got arrested and then sued the city, sued the federal government and won a million bucks. They had to pay them,

the people doing the looting and the ransacking. That's fascinating. Insane. What did they what did they sue them for? I don't know the exact thing, but I think it was like false charges. The idea was this large group of people, many just black clad hoodies were smashing things, setting fires. The cops surrounded a big group of them and then just arrested everybody. And then when they when they tried charging them, the defense argued, how do you know my client is the one who committed those crimes? And they say, we don't. But they were part of a conspiracy to do it. They argued that if you show up at one of these rallies wearing black block, which is a hoodie, a mask, jeans, you are doing that to intentionally

cover for other people who are going to be engaged in extreme violence. And then they they argued to the judge. So some random guy who happens to be walking on the street wearing a hoodie and jeans is now part of a criminal conspiracy. You can't do that. So the for a handful of people actually pleaded guilty. And then once things started, you know, started getting pretty hot, like more news, more attention, more protests, like more protests over the arrests and more lawyers got involved. Everyone started pleading not guilty. And then eventually they were forced to drop the charges. And then they filed a lawsuit against the city and they won a million bucks. A class action. I don't think it was a class action. I'm not sure. But they argued

that it was like wrongful arrest without evidence. And uh it's it's dc they're all democrats they're going to side with leftist protests no matter what they're they're sitting there being like these people are protesting donald trump come on like you want to win an election and you arrest the trump protesters yeah you're not gonna you're not gonna be able to pull that off again this is why i say civil war not because i've made it the idea because if a democrat goes out if democrat like look at look at the lockdowns. When they went out and marched in New York City for Black Lives Matter, they said it was a Colorado sun. Ran an article. The the Black Lives Matter protests reduced the spread of COVID.

It's amazing. How about that? And then when people went out for free speech on the right, they had pictures of nurses standing in front of cars with their arms crossed being like, you're spreading disease. It's all just patently obvious to everybody. And I wonder if why the reason Donald Trump is doing so well is because people are just sick of this. I know I am. I think so. I mean, when we read earlier that, oh, Donald Trump said that he wished he had generals like what Hitler had, I was like, you know what, even if he said that in a meeting five years ago, I don't care, dude. I don't care anymore. He said it off the cuff. He doesn't really want to do that kind of thing. I'm done with that crap. I am. And I'm not a Trump supporter. I'm not a zealot. I just don't care about that crap. Like this whole villainizing bullshit. I'm done. I agree. Even if Donald Trump's sitting there and

he's like, I wish I had generals like Hitler, I'd be like, yeah bullshit i don't i'm done i i agree even if donald trump's sitting there and he's like i wish i generals like hitler i'd be like yeah literally don't care anymore i am so sick of the media running these lies i am so sick of the far left violence we had in the 2020 cycle something like a list of 1 000 attacks on trump supporters you had a trump supporter and i believe was in portland aaron danelson got shot twice in the chest by some far left with the black lives matter tattoo on his neck and the venezuelan gangs taking over hotels, like there are real problems happening in the world that it's not about this guy or her. It's like there are real issues with mass immigration, unfettered people coming into the country and taking over territory, like drug cartels on the southern border running fentanyl across the border and poisoning our country like real problems that we should be focusing on as a nation so when it comes to like liberal and conservative

i think conservative people the reason why a lot of it is just sort of peaceful and bland is because they're they're they want to conserve the status quo that's the nature of conservatism they're not really out there to change things they want to what what's pitch? I don't know. Donald Trump. Yeah, he's bad. Yep, that's it. It's the same crappy, fear-based thing about villain, villain, villain.

Look at me. I'm not, I'm not. What's Trump's pitch? He wants to take away interest on certain loans. What, student car loans? Car loans. He wants to make it

so you don't have to pay to deregulate energy industry. Yeah, he's actually putting forth ideas. He's been president for four years he knows how the system works he knows how policy gets passed and created and he's actually got ideas a lot of people like tulsi gabbard now has joined the republican party because she's amazing she's fantastic just a fantastic non-partisan human being that sees the humanitarianism in the republican party right now it's not about politics it's about like real people trying to do real change. Even he is voting for Trump. Really? Well,

Tim does a lot of my talking for me. I don't know. Yeah, I probably will. Yeah, I'm not voting for Kamala Harris. And I do not support imperial people putting candidates into power without a primary that is completely anti-democratic it threatens democracy that's exactly like the king of england it is like a monarch putting their son in power or being like which who will you choose for your next leader this guy or this guy i picked them both indeed and that's why you have to support trump it's the only way to oppose the british trump at least was chosen by the people that's one thing i appreciate about his movement is he was chosen by people that love that believe in him and not some business bureaucracy

that put her put him into power and it's not just that it's that the primary was pretty brutal you know Nikki Haley uh was bringing Democrats over the Republicans because they were trying to get her to be the candidate Ron DeSantis mustered up a legitimate base in the Republican party Vic Ramaswamy was the best candidate but the people love Donald Trump so much and they respect him that it's like okay that's the guy that's your guy But the people love Donald Trump so much and they respect him that it's like, okay, that's the guy. That's your guy right now. That's Donald Trump. He won against three pretty strong personalities.

Yeah, if he hadn't been in the election, it would have been a very intense, tight race between DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Vivek. Yeah, I don't think Nikki Haley could have won. I think DeSantis would have won if there was no Trump because he was ahead in all the prediction markets, too. But, yeah, you look at the Democratic Party and they've appointed someone without any democratic process. I think for that reason alone, we must oppose Kamala Harris.

She could come out with the greatest policies in the world. And I'd say, no, we cannot as a country allow the political appointment by party of our national leader. I agree. I agree. If she had the best policies in the world, literally, I would consider it, unfortunately. Nope, nope, nope. I'll tell you why you're wrong. Why?

Because the dictator is going to come to you and he's going to say, Ian, you want graphene and hydrogen energy? I will give you all of those things. And you go, oh, that's a good point. Then he's going to get in and he's going to point to his son and his son's going to be like, cancel Ian's graphene. Thank you. Yeah, you're right. You got to trust the and his son's going to be like, cancel Ian's graphene. Thank you.

Yeah, you're right. You got to trust the process itself. You need to respect the process itself. That's what this is about is respecting the democratic process. Kamala will come up behind you and put her hands on your shoulder, give you a massage and whisper in your ear,

graphene. And you're going to be like, I'm going to vote for her. And then as soon as you do, she's going to throw you into the lake. Yeah, the empire will offer you everything on a platter. But you'll never get it.

Maybe you'll have it for a generation and and that'll be taken away from you because the next emperor wants it. You offer them absolute power without through appointment that they have no obligation to give you anything they promised. We need to respect Republic, democratic Republican is see the thing is if, if, if we reject that, that Kamala Harris was appointed and we say you have to win at the bare minimum, your primaries, then what we're saying is if you are running for office, you better be accountable to the people because they will vote you out. If Kamala Harris wins, the Democrats are stating to this country they can choose by political appointment who the nominee will be and you will vote for it and you will be happy. And that means Kamala can have no policies at all or any policy she wants.

That means the next person that comes after her is going to stand up and say, I'm going to declare 17 wars. I'm going to strip all of your pension funds. And there's nothing you can do about it because we choose who is running. You're going to get Jack Johnson and John Jackson. It's going to be like Futurama. I think his tax policy goes too far. Well, I think his tax policy doesn't go too far enough. And you're going to be like, wow, this is this is awful. But you know what? Here's the reality. That's how it was for a long time. Like, did anybody really want Obama or Romney? It's fascinating to me at a time when you have the zeitgeist, literally at the time, zeitgeist, the documentary, you have the community, the culture of political people who are involved in politics saying, you know, we want Ron Paul.

We want Congress to declare wars. We want sound currency. And then you add the average person being like, don't know, don't care. The machine on TV, they told me to vote for Barack Obama, so I did. And if you alter the timescale and kind of step back for a long time,

you didn't even get to do a fake choice. It was his son is going to be your next ruler. Deal. You have no say. For thousands of years, that's how the system worked. His kid's going to be your next ruler deal. You have no say for thousands of years. That's how the system worked. His kid's going to be your next leader and then his kid and worship my family. And we are very fortunate to have this American revolution in 1776 led by these amazing human beings that put in risk so much for us to be able to choose our leaders in cycles that has to continue.

Well, let's jump to this story from the Daily Mail. Social studies teacher 24 is arrested for sending threat to Donald Trump Jr. and Charlie Kirk. They say Daniel Ashbess, 24, is accused of making online threats against the Republican figures while they were in the East Valley for a political rally last week. He was booked into the Tempe City jail on October 17th, and police were made aware of his threatening messages sent in response to an automated messaging service for RSVPs to the rally at the local hotel. Detectives said that Ashpes admitted sending the messages during an interview. AZ Family reports he faces three counts of threatening

to cause physical injury to another person and one charge of using a phone to threaten or intimidate. I'm curious, where are the stories of the inverse? Where are the stories of right-wingers doing things like this? I'm sure maybe there's something niche or otherwise, but this stuff happens all the time.

I am concerned about what comes after this election, considering what we're seeing now. Yep. Tim, since this is your your wheelhouse i want to ask you a question i was at january 6th all day like i said before and uh why did they let us stand on the front step of the capitol building for so long what do you mean like so i was there all day and for hours we were just standing outside of the building right and i'm like what the fuck's going on i'm filming shit and then it felt like as soon as they wanted to they started mustard gassing us and within five minutes everyone was cleared why didn't they mustard gas us uh when we initially approached the capitol building because there was police all around well i mean this is actually i have a funny

story i'm a cs gas right yeah okay so yeah i'm not you know whatever it is yeah so it's just it's it's usually uh you know cs uh i'll tell you a story that lu Luke told me, but Luke could tell it better because because he lived it. But there's a story he told me that they were at, I think, like a G20 protest in Pittsburgh. And all these protesters are in the middle of a park. And so they send a bunch of SWAT cops to line the park and they're all standing there staring into the park because they're told to. And then they don't move. So eventually, Luke said that he and his buddies, like all the other group, decided that they were they were done and they're told to. And then they don't move. So eventually, Luke said that he and his buddies, like all the other group, decided that they were they were done and they were going

to leave. They all left and walked just between the cops who were lining the park. And those cops stood there lining the park with nobody there. That's it. And everybody was laughing, being like, why are they just standing there staring at an empty field now? Whatever. We're leaving. And it was because they didn't receive orders. These cops't know don't care they're they're told stand there stay where you are wait to wait for further instructions and they go okay and then they all just stand there and they're trained to do it it's discipline i mean if they broke ranks it could get things get ugly but instead but without leadership that's all they're doing so what happens well there's a bunch of people standing on the lawn of uh the capitol january 6 nobody. And then someone gave an order to fire tear gas.

Okay. That's how it goes. I didn't know because they were shooting rubber bullets. And I was like, you know, I got a clip of a guy who got a rubber bullet right through the cheek. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on? They're shooting like rubber bullets. And then as soon as they hit us with the gas, everyone left. And I always wondered like why they didn't do that earlier.

Probably because what do you know what time they started firing tear gas? The sun was setting because um it probably had to do with the uh i think it was at like what was it 130 or something when people breached the barricades or breached the building around then they pushed over the little gate thing yeah on one side of the building they went it could be related to that but it literally it's simple someone gave an order to do it it was you know i don't know maybe they realized that giving a tour to the shaman and letting people come in and take selfies with cops was a bad idea and they needed to uh switch what the narrative was going to be so they started attacking everybody i think a lot about that shaman jacob chansley i interviewed

him we've actually talked to him multiple times he's a very cool guy and how much worse things could have been if there wasn't a guy there that was kind of a symbol of peace. Like he was telling people, stay calm, be cool. He served time for his, his experience there, but he calmed a lot of people down. And there was not, there was bits of violence. Ashley Babbitt lost her life. God, awful, awful. Some cops got hurt pretty bad. I've heard some people probably got roughed up, but Chansley was like, it can continuously encouraging people to relax. And it could have been, I was talking to my father about, it could have been so bad, like bodies all over the place. And it was not. There was a lot of voices of peace. I mean, I would encourage anyone to get this completely

shadow band to go watch my video of January 6th street interviews where I was on the ground all day. Um, a lot of people were not preaching a hateful message i barely found anyone who was preaching a hateful message it was relatively peaceful i mean i know they broke into the building and stuff but yeah it was very interesting to be on the ground there and the video i think is very interesting you have a video on youtube of it yeah january 6th youtube's taken it down and reinstated it multiple times for like hate speech then for promoting violence but it's still up now cool what's it called it's just called january 6th. YouTube's taken it down and reinstated it multiple times for hate speech, then for promoting violence, but it's still up now. What's it called?

I think it's just called January 6th Street Interviews, something like that. Did you have any insight that came out of that personally? I was just shocked to see the media say, this is a second 9-11, and just the verbiage that they used about the incident was kind of crazy to me because I was scared, or i've been more scared at like fucking uh like uh nelk rallies i went to like this youtube nelk meetup where they're like throwing glass bottles i've been i was more scared at that than i was at january 6th i was like chilling at january 6th all day it wasn't like

a very scary environment from my perspective but then again it's just anecdotal i'm pretty sure that these street takeovers are more dangerous and scary than January 6th. Like, January 6th was not good. Someone died. Someone was shot and killed. There are people who, I think one person fell off something climbing and fell. Someone got trampled. I mean, it was pretty bad.

And it was a riot. Riots are not fun. But you look at some of these street takeovers, and there's people shooting guns, and there's swinging cars. There's a video of some guy, like, standing in the street, and they do a donut and whack the guy with a tail i was just with that guy this weekend swear to god oh for real swear to god yeah that viral video yeah i was filming with them at another car takeover and they rammed a car into another car and then sped off like street takeover shit's crazy there's multiple guys from maryland getting getting run over because they're they're just spinning doing spin outs in the in the street

takeovers they're like tons of people have been run over by that stuff like it's really dangerous and the police the police either can't do anything about it or don't do anything about it and i mean that's that's i'm not gonna say that it's that it's uh worse than january 6th because jan January 6th because January 6th is like a legitimate riot and stuff. But like, I don't, I don't think that that January 6th was even close to the way that it was portrayed because I think the narrative that the left and that the government wanted about January 6th was it's the worst thing. Obviously they said, you know, it's worse than nine 11 or it's as bad as nine 11.

And they only did that so they could justify, you know, it's worse than 9-11 or it's as bad as 9-11. And they only did that so they could justify, you know, using authoritarian powers. You know, they could justify saying, oh, we need to put these people in jail. And that's why. And another thing that they did is when they put those people in jail, it was to frighten Americans. It was so that way people would be afraid of speaking out. People that are paying attention knew that there were a lot of people that were put in jail simply for talking. There were people that didn't even go inside that were put in jail for exercising opinions that were unpopular. Well, Owen Schroyer never went inside. And they arrested him. And at the sentencing, the document stated that he had said things online after the fact that warranted a prison sentence.

So what did I do differently than Owen Troyer? You were outside the building? Yeah, I never went in the building. I mean, maybe they'll come and arrest you. No, I think it was about making a point with Owen. Honestly, I think it was really about making a statement. Yeah, he worked with InfoWars, and they were like, we're going to make a statement so that people know, like Alex Jones is a hot button.

Now you know, you see if you're clear near Alex Jones, what can happen to you. There was a, there's that reporter, Steve Baker, am I getting his name wrong? I think that's the right name. Let me double check that. I feel bad if I'm getting your name wrong, buddy. But he went in with two other journalists.

I believe it was two other journalists. One guy had a big camera and worked for a local TV station, and he was a legitimate reporter. They raided his house. There was him. He was walking around filming, and he's a reporter. And he got arrested and shackled. And there was another guy who was a reporter who got no charges. But he wrote an article saying something like inside with your insurrectionists.

Yeah. And so the belief is because he called them insurrectionists, they said, okay, this guy's on our side. Yeah. Steve Baker, he wrote, he wrote for Blaze News. He writes, he still does, doesn't he? Writes for Blaze News. Yeah, we just had him on recently. Oh, cool. Yeah. And he explained, and he's, he believes that it was like a DOD level thing that, that the intention at the highest levels was to get people to riot at the Capitol so that they could stay just... It's such a basic tactic for a government to be... They had all the bleachers set up

outside of the Capitol building. Because it was a permitted rally. They were allowed to be there. It's kind of crazy. And then Owen Shore got arrested for it. But what Baker was saying is that he believes the intention was to have this rally happen.

The DOD wanted it to happen. That's why they didn't bring in the National Guard like Trump wanted. It's why the police are standing around in videos. You can watch. You watch the video. There's cops outside. They're doing nothing. They're letting people go in.

There's videos of cops being shoved, and there's that brawl in one entrance to the building. But there's cops taking selfies with people and smiling. And so Baker was saying that he believes the intention was not to evacuate the building. There was a cop who, of his what they've been doing to J6ers, none of it makes sense. Nonviolent misdemeanors resulting in three years in solitary confinement. That doesn't make any sense. That's crazy. Am I a J6er? But if there was a politician who got hurt because they didn't evacuate and then these rioters stormed in and a senator or a member of Congress got injured, then everyone would be like, well, of course the J6ers aren't getting locked up and there's a crackdown.

These people attacked sitting members of Congress on the day of the vote count. But nothing happened. So they're all nonviolent misdemeanors, trespass, and they're trying to put people in prison for months or even. I met a woman. She said that they showed up several hours after all the fighting and rioting, and they walked up calmly. It was people walking around, went up to the door. It was wide open. They walked in and there was no broken glass or anything. They looked around for a minute or whatever and then walked out, had no idea what was going on. And then a year or so later, the cops kicked their

door in, arrested her and her husband, and they were sentenced to 18 months. And she was like, I don't understand. We just, we showed up several hours after everything happened. We walked around, there was no signs, there was nothing, and we don't know what's happening, and now they're going to put us in prison for a year and a half. I'm like, well, that only makes sense in a scenario where politicians actually ended up getting hurt, which they did not. It makes no sense to put nonviolent trespass in prison for a year. So it almost seems like an attempted false flag incident, right? Where they're trying to make something happen. That's what Baker says. That the DOD was aware, wanted it to happen, so they could use it as justification for crackdown and arrest. Yeah, I think the denial

of extra police presence kind of indicates an allowance of the process to occur like you would for sure if there was a riot and you were concerned about stopping it at the capitol you'd bring a huge police presence military presence if you need it well the the i mean there's evidence that donald trump was asking for that stuff and that it was just not provided nancy pelosi right i'm not sure if it was pelosi or if it was the uh the mayor of of dc but bowser he was saying that you know hey no mariel bowser was uh was she the mayor of dc i think so she was uh the mayor of chicago but either way bowser no she's dc who's she dc okay so um yeah lightfoot was chicago that's it but yeah point being like they they denied you know

they they said we can't come up with extra security and stuff. So, like, Trump was looking to prevent it. You know, he was trying to get the law enforcement beefed up. They rejected him? If I understand correctly, yeah. Bowser was like, we can't, we don't have the people. And I think that had something to do with the defund the police stuff i'm not positive um that could be just hearsay i went to joe biden's inauguration and they definitely had uh they definitely had the people for that one you know the gates up and

they i think they brought in like the military in some capacity oh you were actually on the ground for both so you saw a difference in in security for the inauguration versus yeah joe biden's inauguration was like i they had the whole military out there with their fucking automatic weapons. It was like, what the fuck is this? I was trying to get a good video. There was no people there. It was just military.

It activated the National Guard. Yeah. So, you know. But at Trump's thing, it was just like, there's cops standing around, and I'm like, I didn't know what the fuck was going on.

My dumb ass walked up to the Capitol building, you know what I mean? What was that? I said, if my dumb ass walked up to the Capitol building, it obviously had to be pretty lax security. There was none. After people tore down barricades, it was just open sidewalk to a building that is typically open to the public.

For hours, we were just chilling there. And a lot of people were just saying that they love America and that they felt like the election was rigged and they won a fair election. And that was pretty much the overarching theme of what I heard there. Yep. Well, let's jump to this story from the Postmillennial. Tim Walz invited CCP officials into his Nebraska classroom when he was a teacher. Wow, this just keeps getting worse for the guy, huh?

I really just don't like this guy. Look at his face. I just, I'm not a fan. There's something, it's just, this guy. So that's the story. The incident occurred in February of 96 when a group of three educators from southeast China came to Waltz's social studies class at Alliance High School to reportedly study the education system. According to a rediscovered Alliance Time Herald story, the Daily Caller News Foundation obtained a study of Chinese government data that showed the delegation included CCP officials who at the time were employed by an institute serving a Chinese espionage agency. The matter was sparked, has sparked further concern surrounding Governor Waltz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, and his alleged ties to the CCP.

Yeah, Walt and his wife, Gwen, were sponsors of a student trip to China when the educators stopped by his school. I think it's pretty obvious that this dude has got a, well, we've got to keep it family friendly. So he's got an adoration for the Chinese Communist Party. I was going to use a different word, but we'll just call it an adoration. I mean, I. My word rhymes with loner. I think you can say that online. It's just because, you know, there's kids.

Yeah, right. Family. Which also you're swearing a whole lot. Because it's a character from Growing Pains. Are you getting a lot of kids that watch this? Yeah. My apologies. Well, it's not that kids watch it.

It's that people watch it in their living rooms, they have their TV on, and their kids are, and they're screaming in the chat, please stop swearing. Hey, my apologies, guys. My apologies. J6 are here. I'm sorry.

It's not particularly a surprise that he has, you know, an affinity for the CCP, you know, considering what we know about the he's a communist well i mean he thinks that communism is just being neighborly which is about as ridiculous as of a take on communism as you can possibly have um but it's not a surprise that that he would do something like that considering the the situation with him being in the tenement square and he said that he'd gone to the cc times right to the CCP or to China well to China yeah yeah in China yeah at first he claimed it was 30 and then he says it was 15 or something yeah so do

you think there's a correlation between low testosterone and being a communist yes but what about if you're a communist who wants to control the communist dictatorship high tea that's high tea then right yeah yeah that's a good nutrition if you want to control the communist dictatorship. High tea. That's high tea then, right? Yeah, yeah. You got good nutrition if you want to control the communist party. You're like, just like, you know, you want to be the dictator. You have aspirations. That's high tea right there.

Maybe or maybe you were low tea selected. Tough to tell. I don't know how that party works. No, I'm saying like someone who has the ambition to take over a country and become a dictator, it seems like a high tea. Is that how it works in China? And I don't know if you know the answer to this.

Do they, does someone like seize control and now they are the, or are they selected by like a secret shadow government? It's like the Goblin King. In order to become the chairman, you have to take out the existing chairman. You got to take trend balloon. I'm, I am absolutely kidding. It's not Goblin King. They, it's like a single party voter. And then the top members of the party will vote. And then you've got allies allies and i hear it's really mob like and very dirty that it may actually be more goblin king than we realize you know who knows who it's like a goblin king well it's like mind if if you're a powerful guy and you've got a bunch of buddies and you say i want to i'm going to be the chair you you you put me in and i'll make it worth your while otherwise it'll be bad for you. So it's kind of like, and then do they have a secret,

like a CIA or an MI6? Of course. Do you know, is it a name? They don't know the name. They call it Chinese intelligence. Also, I don't think that it's all that particularly secret. Like, everyone's really afraid

of stepping out of line because you just get picked up by the normal police. Like, the laws are so, there's so many laws. Have you seen the video of the guy strapped to the chair? And the cops are like, why did you post online at the cops are bad? And he's like, it was I was drunk. I'm so sorry. I won't do it again. And they were like, you were

drunk. Does that mean you think the cops are good? And he's like, yeah, yeah, the cops are really good. And he's got like shackles on a metal chair and he's like naked. Whoa. Yeah. It's rough, man. It's real rough. I mean, every business has a every business of i'm not sure what size but if you're a decent sized business you have a representative from the communist party in the building you know kind of like you used to be with the uh kind of like how we have dei here man that is what they're trying to do it's an example of like do you work with your enemies to accomplish a greater or do you do you work with and i'm not saying that the ccp is evil i don't know them all individually as a unit i don't like the idea of communism at all as a unit i don't think it works properly top down controlled state-run organization economy

does not function at the local levels properly you need more agile economy to function and thrive um that's what the evidence shows but that you will work with evil good can work with evil to accomplish a greater goal which is like a unified survivability for the species and that whether you want to think of one because like i don't want to like destroy the system whatever the system is i want to augment and fix and make it better and is it like is it worth working with i don't maybe that's waltz's state of mind i don't know a lot about i heard that's not a state of his state of mind is he's a loyal servant of the ccp is that don't fly there 15 30 30 or 15 pick your number and then invite the ccp to come to your school this this dude romanticizes about what's going on in china he lied about being there

a lot about being in hong kong during the tiananmen square protests which he was not and then he got he get calls out on all the time he's lying about everything this dude is just a a uh he's smarmy dude i saw the interview where they were like so you said you think socialism is a good thing this is kind of what you were referencing phil but i think they said socialism not communism they were like they did and they were like the definition of socialism is that the private property, there is no private property. All property is owned by the state. So you support that.

It's something like that. Socialism doesn't say the state, although it is true, just to clarify. They say it's publicly owned, which basically means the state. He was like, no, I mean, I just mean it's like being neighborly was the quote. There's a really crazy interview where that interaction happens.

Look at the policies he's passed in his state. The dude is DEI. So DEI is the attempt in the United States to create an American Communist Party. That's why they want, there's chief diversity officers. That is installing the CCP into your business. That's what DEI is. And I don't think this necessarily comes from China. I think it's Democrats largely who have romanticized and dream of having a government like the CCP does. Who was it? First, you have Trudeau, who said he was a big fan of Xi Jinping

or something like that. You had these Democrats a long time ago say that they envy how China can build a highway overnight and the United States can't do it. Well, it's because we have human rights here. You can't go to someone's house and just smash it to bits and then build your highway over it. But in China, they can. They don't care. Yeah, they also force slaves to go build the highway. I mean, they'll just be like, we're going to your house is gone. It's going to be a highway. I imagine I said that out of out of hand. I think of these, some Theo Fletcher sometimes really comes down on me on Twitter. Shout out to Theo Fletcher, who sometimes I can't take it. But I've said some things about China that aren't

correct, and sometimes I feel bad about that. And I don't know about them making slaves build highways, but I think that they don't have workers' rights the same way that we do. I mean, I guess off the top of my head, I should really research that before I start making those statements. I've just heard stuff about the way that the Uyghurs have been treated in camps and that they're being— I mean, whether it be the Uyghurs, the Tibetans, or any number of ethnic minorities, China's really been absolutely harsh on them. The Falun Gong was another group that apparently were persecuted by the government, pretty ruthlessly, I've heard. And then they

formed the Epoch Times, I believe, right? And they moved to the United States. Oh, that's who did it. Okay. Yeah, if you go to New York, Falun Gong, people are handing out flyers and stuff. And then it was really funny because China started hiring YouTubers. They offered, I'm pretty sure I got offered this at some point. I got an email

where they were like, we'll give you $200 to post this video to your YouTube channel. And then I looked at the video and it was a guy being like, these really weird people, fallen, gone, like, what's this about? And then it was like a mini doc that was like five to 10 minutes long from some white dude complaining about this group. And I'm like, I ain't posting that to my channel. What is this? But a lot of people were like, 200 i'll take it it's just a commercial right and i'm like no way dude i used to i read um the the romance of the three kingdoms have you guys ever read this book it's it's worth the read it's like the chinese hamlet it's considered an absolute classic written by lo gong xiao and like the 1400s or 1500s like wushu and way yeah yeah yeah

and they've been dynasty warriors games came out of this romance of the three kingdoms the novel's like the 1400s or 1500s or something. Like Wushu and Wei? Yeah. The Three Kingdoms? Yeah, yeah. And they've been Dynasty Warriors games came out of this romance of the Three Kingdoms. The novel's incredible. I highly recommend reading it. And you learn all about the beauty of the culture and the way, but it really is imperial propaganda. It's like talking about how wonderful the emperor is and how we need to restore the emperor.

I want to become the emperor. Who's in control of the country? and it's like centralized control and authority and it's like kind of gross that i i worshiped lu be and thought he was such a phenomenal human all he wanted to do was restore the power of the empire and granted it was 2 000 years ago you know what what other things did they have going for him other than like a good emperor they didn't really have the technology to establish a democratic republic in a lot of ways like we have now and it's always made me love china be reading this and thinking about going to to chengdu in the west and seeing the mountains and the temples and history and stuff but man communism is an economy is just so stifling and like the brutality

that i've seen and heard about in that country is But it goes beyond just an economy like it's it's entirely it's totalitarian. So it's it's not just the economic system. It's the way you live your life and being totalitarianism. It's the thoughts that you have. Totalitarianism doesn't allow for dissent. You can be in and you can live in. There are authoritarian countries where they don't care so much what you think, just so long as you shut up and do what you're told. Like that's

authoritarian. If it's totalitarian, they're going to be involved with who you can marry. Like the reason China had one child policy, you know, they, because it's totalitarian, because they had to, they were dictating how many children you were allowed to have. They dictate whether or not you can have health care. They dictate literally what you think, which is part of the reason why they control speech. Because if you can control what people are allowed to say, then you can do, to some extent, control what people think and what people are allowed to think. That was the whole, you know, in 1984, the reason they wanted to go ahead and go with Newspeak is because they wanted to get rid of the ability to think bad thoughts.

You need to invent ideas or discover them, however you want to describe it. But the idea that there was self-governance or that there could be self-governance didn't exist until the founding fathers, largely. I mean, certainly there was, to a degree, democracy, but mostly around the world, kingdoms. It was divine mandate or someone who just inherited control. And the founding fathers, I don't believe it was the first instance of self-governing, but a lot of the ideas that came from this era were developed. And so, I mean, if you look at the rise of communism, especially, right? Communism didn't exist all that long ago. It's, you know, it starts to rise in the early, late 1800s, early 1900s. Ideas have to be discovered. And so if you can stop people

from talking about a certain type of idea, they can't even begin to imagine such a thing exists. I've heard in North Korea that they don't have a word for love. Is that correct? That's probably not true. That was a quote, or I believe it was Yunmi Park, who dissented and fled the country and said that they don't have a word for it. You have to have a word for love because you have to love dear leader. You have to love Kim Jong-un. I read they have a poo tax. You have to actually pay the government in poop. And I'm not even making that up.

I'm not even trying to be funny. I read that online. Pay them in poop or for poop? You have to give them a certain amount of poop for fertilizer. I'd like to fact check that. I don't think that's true because human waste is not good fertilizer. Yeah. I read it online.

You could probably refine it, though. Yeah. You read it online. That means it's true. Can we pull that up, young Jamie? You can definitely get methane out of it. Yeah. What do you guys think about modern day hate speech laws being passed in america totally gets it yeah it's not constitutional too vague like

what is that even what is a hate speech it's been brought it's been brought before the supreme court on more than one occasion and as long as you're not inciting violence then the first amendment protects you know speech even horrible speech aren't they passing laws like in universities that if you're found to be anti-semitic that you could get kicked out of university or is that just... That would be the university deciding that you can't say things and they'll say they'll use hate speech as a reason, but that's not federal law saying you can't say things. They'll say, oh, well, you said something hateful. You made other students uncomfortable, etc. Yeah, but if these universities receive public funds and they want to police speech,

then they should lose public funds. I agree with that. Yeah. They should have to follow civil law. Yep. If they want public money, yeah. Yeah. These quasi-public-private organizations are really weird.

Like the Federal Reserve considers itself one of those two. I don't think. You're one or the other. Either you're a public, well, I was going to say public utility, but I guess you could be publicly funded without being a utility. Maybe in 13 days we will have a communist administration with Tim Walz and Kamala Harris, you know? Yeah, I was thinking as you guys were talking about the communism, about how kind of like totalitarianism and imperialism, it all can kind of become one weird thing like they kind of see like patrolling and controlling thoughts and speech it doesn't just adhere to like communism it can be definitely like well yeah i mean there's there's multiple there's different ways you can be

totalitarian you can be like there are some islamist countries that that are totalitarian their theocracies you know you you aren't allowed to say things that would insult the prophet and they would use the force of law to prevent that. There are police of virtue and vice and virtue. And I believe it's in Saudi Arabia, in the kingdom. If you're in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, you can run into the police of vice and virtue who will, I don't know exactly if they arrest you or if they just kind of slap you around or whatever, they can arrest you. So there are multiple ways to be totalitarian. It's not just communism.

Are the police of vice and virtue different than the other regular police in Saudi Arabia? I believe they are, but I'm not sure. I don't know the in-depth situation about saudi arabia but they they actually do have like if you break islamic law the police of vice and virtue will you know wrap you up and you can go to jail for that so i think um an antidote to it is to keep saying truth is to keep like using your free speech in a non-adversarial way, just in a very charismatic, loving way. Just keep doing it.

Keep being a lighthouse in the dark for people to reorient to, yeah, this is the best. And so I keep making videos, YouTube videos, Twitch videos. Let's jump to this story from the Post Millennial. Kamala's UK campaign advisor pushed to kill Musk's Twitter. In response to the reporting, Musk wrote on X, this is war. Indeed,

we have the tweet. Exclusive documents working with Matt Taibbi report on CCD hate documents showing the Labour Party's political front objective is to, quote, kill Musk's Twitter through advertising focus, meaning harass his advertisers. See internal documents provided by Whistleblower. Take a look at this. Internal Center for Countering Digital Hate documents show their annual objective is to kill Musk's Twitter. This is their internal monthly planner. Their goal is to also trigger regulatory action, although they are a tax exempt nonprofit. And there it is. It says. Annual priorities kill Musk's Twitter advertising focus trigger EU and UK regulatory action

progress towards change in USA and support for Star. They say AI is that AI voice launch Friday, the 31st of May. U.S. policy engagement set up meetings with Klobuchar's team to seek a quote press release endorsement. Very interesting. So it would seem that there is, well, international interest, of course, in shutting down free speech, even in the United States. Matt Taibbi wrote, British advisors to Kamala Harris hope to kill Musk's Twitter. Whistleblower documents from British CCD hate show it listed to kill Musk's Twitter as a monthly agenda item. They are closely tied with UK advisors to Kamala Harris. Why does Kamala Harris have UK advisors? Well, because, well, I don't really know, actually.

Yeah. I imagine that maybe it has something to do with a similar situation where the CIA can't actually operate in the United States, so they would go to their foreign counterparts and they would say, hey, look at this person because I can't actually do it. And so like a foreign intelligence operate, you know, operative would look into a person in the United States and then give the information back to CIA because they're not actually able to do it. Maybe that maybe they're getting around some kind of law by having a foreign entity do something here that the federal government isn't allowed to do. Yeah, Five Eyes Spy Club, that's what they call that. That's kind

of why they set it up is so, you know, US can't spy on its own people, but they can have England do it or Australia do it. And then we'll spy on the Australians because they're not allowed to do it to their and then we'll trade the data. It's really surreptitious. That's how you bypass civil rights by having the UK spying on US citizens and then the US goes, we didn't spy. UK did. Yeah. They still got the information.

I wonder if they have a server that they can both access. I mean, emails. Yeah, right. You know, they'd just be like, hey. USB sticks. I think that was, I don't know the details, but I thought that was actually proven. There was a dude that had a foreign intel agency spy on his girlfriend to find out if she was cheating on him or something like that.

That probably happens all the time. Dude, I guarantee you there's NSA dudes right now just looking at naked women. The joke on American Dad was that the CIA has a room full of TV screens displaying the front-facing cameras while you joke on the joke on american dad was that the cia has a room full of tv screens displaying the front facing cameras while you're on the toilet and then stan smith walks in the room and like it's it's it's just part of the background you see a whole bunch of faces hunched over looking down at their phones they're typing with their thumbs and it's just like that's what the cia does yeah i wouldn't be surprised if you notice like mark zuckerberg's computer he puts tape over the camera.

If Zuckerberg is doing that, you best be doing that too. But you do what you want. You can buy little windows or little things that you can stick on your phone over the camera and slide it over when you don't want to use it. Yeah, but they figured you out, bro. They put the camera in the screen now. Yeah. Oh, interesting.

They figured it out. They were like, hey, the camera's in the screen now. Now you can't cover it. Really? I've been thinking that that would be a good thing for video chats because it will make it more eye-to-eye.

There was a smartphone called the F1, I believe it was. It had a mechanical front-facing camera. When you turned it on, a little thing would come up and go, and pop up.

So I used it for a little while, and then I was like, eh, you know, whatever. I'm going to upgrade to the latest Android. I don't, I don't like these non,

you know, I like the galaxy phones. They're good. I don't like these other Android phones. So I asked Allison, I was like, Hey, do you want to use this one?

It's a new phone. You have a new phone and I'm going to buy the new S whatever. And she's like, sure. One day she was browsing a website and it opened and then closed. You know what that means? Website took a picture of her face. Yep.

Where'd that picture go? Oh, God. Yep. And how did it get permission to use the camera and do all that stuff? Because a lot of apps that will say, like, this app is requesting permission. I suppose if you allow your browser as an app to use the camera, if a website sends in a call to take a picture of your face, it'll do it. So to all those people out there visiting those nutty websites,

I bet they got a picture of your face. Yeah, be overt about it. And not a good picture of your face. We're like adult websites. The O face. I'm just saying nutty websites, whatever that may be. Holy cow. Yeah, I got a picture of your face making a weird face.

Yep, at least one. Yikes yikes yeah welcome to the new world oh dude come on the the the government's got everybody's spank bank you know what i mean probably yeah i use chrome particularly if i ever go to porn do you imagine being the dude like so ian you did you did content moderation for minds yeah and they made you look at just like the like the worst things in human history well fortunately not fortunately it was it was reasonable to the point that I didn't have to see a lot of gore and I didn't see any child porn. Thank God. But imagine you're like you working for the U.S. government and you're in one of these data centers that is stealing it. And you're there's like I'm imagining at the NSA, they have just like different rooms for different things like this.

These are political dissidents. These are these are pop star pop star stalkers. And then they have like hell. And they're like, the guy who walks out is just like his hair is all messed up and his eyes are black. And he's like, how's it going, guys? And they're like, you know, the new guy walks in and he's like, who is that? That's Jim. Like, why? What's wrong with him? Like, oh, he was normal two weeks ago. But then he got relocated to the hell room., that's Jim. Like, why, what's wrong with him? Like, well, he was normal two weeks ago, but then he got relocated to the hell room and that's what happens to you. Troops walking out

to the front in World War I, seeing the guys coming back from the front all broken and twisted. I imagine it's worse. Dude, I talked, I interviewed,

um, JJ. Dude, the things, I'm not even going to begin to describe these. On the members only show, we'll talk about it,

but you know, for, you know, we're not going to even describe the kind of things that might appear on the show. Yeah, we interviewed Tim Ballard, who's the, basically the star, we'll talk about it, but we're not going to even describe the kind of things that might appear on the list. Yeah, we interviewed Tim Ballard, who's basically the star. The character in—what's the name of that movie?

Tim Ballard is the guy who went down to South America to rescue the children that had been kidnapped. What was the name of that movie? We went and saw it. Sound of Freedom. Yeah, Sound of Freedom. It was based around Tim Ballard, and he spent a lot of time reviewing tape, reviewing video of children, and it messed him up.

And I've interviewed other people that have worked in that line of work, and these are guys that are like seasoned professionals that go in there and come out with a lot of PTSD. Just talking to him about it, it's like you can never undo that stuff. Seeing it, just seeing

it on a video. Yeah, well, you know, I guess if we're talking about the U.S. government, though, I wonder about the kind of people who are in those positions. If it's like the same people for decades. No, if it was like friends with Epstein and Diddy who are in those rooms monitoring the

back hall or something. Oh, wow. The fire hose. People that know people. wow yeah the fire hose that know people yeah the fire hose yeah so we called it at mines the fire hose is just all this getting blasted god knows what you don't know what's coming next and you just got to be like is that safe for work is that is that legal is this one legal is this one legal fortunately most of that let's be a landscaper i'm not doing that job it was rough dude and i didn't, most of it was. Let's be a landscaper. I'm not doing that job. It was rough, dude. And I didn't realize how rough it was.

I did it for about five years or four years. And I started to get to the point because I worked seven days a week, 24-7. I just had to make sure that it was always clear, that we always, everything had been administered and I was the only one for a long time. And it would start to be where like I'd like put the work off for the day and I'd like do it for an hour, really, really fast. I just do it really, really quick. And I'd, I'd miss things. I'm like, I can't do that. And then there would be days that sometimes I wouldn't even do it. I'd be like, I just got to wait. And then the next day the queue would be doubled up. And I'm like, Oh my God, I'm dreading this. I just didn't realize how traumatizing

in retrospect, how, how traumatizing it was was i just thought it was boring at the time i was telling myself i'm just it's just menial labor that i just don't but it was like simple it wasn't a lot of work it was just what the work itself was like and then i started seeing articles about like facebook admins that are like yo bro we we we gotta delegate this kind of work out to different brains because it's like poison for a human brain it sounds like you had no work-life balance there either it's like 24 7 you human brain. It sounds like you had no work-life balance there either. It's like 24-7 you have to be monitoring or thinking about this thing. Yes, constantly.

This was what my life was for like years. You ever feel like that about social media, Tim? Like it's all-encompassing and it can just drive you crazy and it's always on the clock? I think the problem with social media is that it destroyed culture. I don't know that I care so much about its ubiquity other than its combination of ubiquity and decentralization, which has just gutted most cultures.

It's created this short-term attention span where great works are hard to come by. So we don't have music videos anymore. Now we have TikTok dances with a song. And I'll give you one example. Actually, I don't need to give you an example. Just look at these bands. Look at their Spotifys.

Their number one song will be like Hit Song. Underneath it will be Hit Song 2X Speed. Below it will be like Hit Song Half Speed. Below it will be like Hit Song Remix. Ace Boost. Because it's just for TikTok. Yeah. And then they do,

like they're the chipmunks. They chipmunkify a song. And so you'll have a song where it's like the guy will be singing like, you know I'm gonna come get down with it. And then you watch it on TikTok.

Yeah. Skibbity toilet. Yeah, just all that kind of stuff. I've noticed that it incentivizesity toilet yeah just all that kind of stuff i've noticed that it incentivizes me to want to create that kind of stuff to get the algorithm to send it to the top like shorts i'm not like albums are done like music albums just be a big deal big release party everyone got excited they showed up for this big party and it encouraged bands to get together and focus for like three to six weeks to write an album it It took 12 days. But it concentrated that one moment and created a cultural moment. Now it's just a constant stream and it's flat.

Yeah. You're financially motivated to make that short form content and to pump out stuff constantly. Like me, I only drop a YouTube video once a month or once every six weeks and it's not the best business model. Oh, yeah. No, YouTube's going to punish you like crazy. Yeah. Not the best business model.

Yeah. So there used to be a thing called Skate Videos, where a company would put out their video, and it was like an album dropping, where a team would have like eight or ten writers or whatever, and then each person would have a part in the video, and it was a big deal. There were huge parties, premieres at movie theaters,

and it was like, wow. And no one knew what the tricks were going to be on video. You can't do it anymore. Some have tried, and they put the video out on YouTube, but it doesn't work because there's this funny story where a dude did a trick, a really good trick. And then he was like, don't tell anybody I did it. And some little kid was across the street filming on his phone and posted it online and everyone saw it. And it just, now you can't sell it. The idea was like, we film all these tricks, put on a video, we sell the video and it helps the company stay afloat because it's media that people like internet's got rid of all that stuff now it's

just post a clip it's a 10 second clip you're gonna watch you're gonna get views you're gonna hopefully make money and build followers did you find on tour that it was like reinvigorating for you did it remind you of how it used to be to make music how what was that like well i mean on tour you're i mean it doesn't remind you of making music because you're just you're performing um so that's a whole different animal like recording and writing and stuff is is a very different experience than being on tour and and performing the songs so do you would you encourage bands in the modern age to tour yes if you want to be a band yes um but it's not easy and spotify has made it really difficult for it makes it easier for bands to get their music out to people but it's it's not nearly as

profitable as it used to be like you used to be used to go and and like in the 90s you would get a a record deal and they would give you x amount of dollars to go and make a record and so you could either spend it all on making the record or you could spend it on, you know, half of it on making the record and half to live on. And the amount of money that they gave you was, you know, significant because they knew that people were going to buy CDs. So they knew that there was going to be a return on it. With the advent of streaming and stuff, all that stuff changed. Now you can make a record for significantly less nowadays than you could in the 90s. You know, you don't have to go to a studio for everything. You can do most of it either in one room or at home or in a smaller space than a studio or whatever.

But you still, you know, you still have be able to to record drums and stuff like that at least if you're in a band um but man it's it's it's not the same with streaming you just don't make you know you don't make nearly the money that you used to make you know or bands used to make do you think this is more of an ethical question do you think that that's righteous i will because i asked the question spotify spotify pays for a license for the song and one time like and then you get like you know point zero zero zero seven cents for every stream it's it's it's horrible i used to because i went through a phase where i was like i think actors are overpaid like a guy does a movie gets seven million dollars how many how many people actually get that that's fine yeah you think so absolutely like a professional athlete because it's just such a few people

like it's the best of the best of the robert downey jr is going to get 30 million dollars to do a movie yeah and like what did he do he sat around for six weeks like i've done that job it's not worth 60 million dollars or whatever they're getting paid at the top because robert downey jr makes a billion dollar movie i guess he's getting a percentage of the return. No, he gets a $30 million. So I think for like Iron Man 3 or something, it was like $30 million salary. And the assumption is he's going to- And then he probably gets a couple points or whatever. But they know, at first, they didn't want him.

They didn't want Robert Downey Jr. for the first Iron Man because he was like an addict and unreliable. And then he proved himself. But it was a smash hit. Iron Man was amazing. Everybody loved it. Everyone loved Robert Downey Jr. They love him so much after they killed off Tony Stark,

they're bringing him back as Dr. Doom. So then the movie industry is still making money on sales for tickets and stuff, but the music, the music industry is kind of collapsed in that. Well, yeah,

because, uh, there are some services that are like Spotify for movies, but for the most part, they have this, and this is probably the way it should be done right now for music, but for movies, so right now, I think Spider-Man No Way Home

is not available on Disney+. If you want to watch it, you got to buy it on Amazon. Because I think it's a Sony movie, so I don't know if it'll ever even be, maybe it's not a good example. But when a movie goes to theaters, after it comes out, it goes to Amazon where you can buy it. Then eventually

it'll end up on one of these streaming services as like, you know, you pay $15 a month and you get access to movies. Netflix used to have movies. They don't anymore. Now it's like all Netflix stuff. It's just like a unique thing. So Spotify should have like a buy this album $9.99 for the first month or three months or something and then goes to streaming.

Yeah, it should. I don't know that Spotify should do it because the actual person that made the record, you might want to say, okay, we're going to wait to put it on Spotify. Or Spotify might say, you know, maybe they'd say we're not going to take it right away. Because if Spotify takes it and puts it on sale, Spotify is going to take a cut of that maybe and i don't know how much they're going to they're going to say they're going to say they're hosting it so they're going to say well you know we're going to take you know a boatload of it they're going to literally charge you for digital space records right record companies come up with all kinds of crazy ways to to charge you bad to back charge you so i imagine spotify would do the same. Because it's kind of like the modern record company is Spotify or Bandcamp.

No, no, because with a record company, no, no. It's not Bandcamp. Because record companies are like, they give you something. Record companies actually go out of their way to promote your music. Record companies advance you money to do the record. And record companies own the record, right? So when you make a record, when you make a record for the record company, they own that music right so when you make a record when you make a record for the record company they own that music and you're getting you only get a portion of it

spotify never owns your music they license it from the record company or from you if you made the record they do the promotion they could anyway spotify they could if i doesn't promote they put you in their algorithm like how right right so youtube would promote a video the front page of youtube like spotify could promote their up-and-coming ten dollars for the newest albums you see what's hot you pay spotify they don't promote you you pay spotify to put like to get a better spot in the in the algorithm like labels will help you with like playlist seating and things of that nature what you want to do is you want to get your band on to play your song or whatever onto playlists and as you release music the the your position and the the algorithm gets better

for you essentially so if you put one song out it's going to do x if you put then you wait six weeks or whatever and put another song out it gets better and you wait another six weeks and you put another song out and it gets better and that's the reason why bands don't put out a record and then let have the singles come out uh after it and it used bands don't put out a record and then let, have the singles come out after. And it used to be, you'd release a record, your first single would come out. Then, then, you know, however long, you know, three months later, you put another single out, three months later, you put another single out. Nowadays, you put out a song, then you wait a few weeks, six weeks or whatever. Then you put another song, then another song, then another song, and

then another song, and then you put the record out. I guess, oh, okay. It makes sense, I mean, that you can do that, because the whole putting a record out all at once is just kind of a limitation of the creation of the body of, like, the record itself. It's like, I'm not going to make 12 records, I'm going to make one with as many on it. You could buy it, they used to have CDs with two songs on them. You could, yeah, yeah, like an EP or A-side, B-side or something. Yeah, and they had They used to have CDs with two songs on them. Yeah, like an EP or A-side,

B-side or something. Yeah, and they had two sets too with two songs. I guess you could have went that route, but to be in a studio, is this easier for bands to get in there, record all of it at once? Well, that's what you do. You go in, you record it all at once, and then you release one single. Then you release, six weeks later, you release another single that you recorded

in that one recording session. And then you record, you know, you release a third single. and then you record you know you release a third single and then you release a fourth single maybe you put out four or five singles then you release the record but the point of doing that is you're getting the you're getting the best results in the algorithm that you can get for the record to come out because it's it's it's now it's relying on a digital algorithm instead of radio jockeys knowing the song ahead of time and deciding what to give you when you have the people who are on the playlist will just be like nah we don't want this one yeah but when you when you had a when you had radio you would

have someone at your label that would be your radio guy that would call that would know the program directors of the the uh the radio stations that would play your style of music. So there was a guy that used to work for Razor and Tie when we were at Razor and Tie. His name was Kurt. He was great. And he would know all the program directors at the radio stations that were likely to play us. So when we had new stuff coming out, he'd call them up. He'd be like, hey, are you going to play the new All That Remains song?

Come on, you've got to play it. Have you heard it? Did you take a listen to it? And basically he would just sit there and pester him to promote the program directors to listen to the song and see if they'll go ahead and start testing it to see how it tests at the radio station. Or if you have a history with the radio station, they'll just say, yes, the new All That Remains song is coming out.

We'll play it. You know, like after good So our first our first you know the first songs that we got into the radio It took convincing because what they want what radio stations want is they want to build a relationship They want to know if you know all that remains is coming to town We want to be able to say hey we're gonna come to town and it's you know Blah-blah-blah radio station that's bringing them to town and they're gonna come into the the studio and they're going to talk on, you know, we're going to do an interview and blah, blah, blah. And we're going to be at the show hanging, you know, hanging out with the band

and stuff. And they want to know that you're going to keep putting singles out that they can play. So that way they'll, they'll have you as one of the bands and people will listen to that radio station if they like the band. So getting into that, that kind of group or getting into that, into a radio station is harder. But once you get a few songs that are, that are, that they like, then they're like,

okay, we will definitely play the new all that remains. So there's a bunch of radio stations that nowadays there aren't as many terrestrial radio stations as there were 10 years ago, but there were a lot of radio stations that when we put out a song, they were like, yes, of course we're going to play the all that remains song because they,

they, we've got great history with them. We're going to go to Super Chat. So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with everyone you know, and become a member at TimCast.com. We're going to have that Josh Siter social experiment expose video up Friday in the morning at some point for members only. And, of course, we'll have that members only show coming up at 10 p.m. tonight. But for now, we'll grab your Super Chats. Legama says, Tim, I was worried you'd call it quits. A few days ago when you had Landau on. Good to see you still with us, at least for now. Cheers. Well, here, here. Thanks for the Super Chat. Good, sir. Shout out to Dave Landau.

Giza Moonshadow says Kamala is close family friend with Lauren. Lauren doesn't eat at the end of that. Powell Jobs, the Atlantic owner. And she is besties with Ghislaine Maxwell. This is why she did a press conference on the Hitler hit piece. Indeed. It's, that was their plan. Michael Boer says, congratulations, Tim, on becoming a father.

My wife is 21 weeks pregnant after four years of infertility. Well, congratulations. Oh, that's awesome, dude. Stacy Strickland says, hey, Tim, please shut up my husband, Mark. His birthday is today and he is now the big 3-0, Dirty 30. Thank you so much. Congratulations.

Happy birthday, Mark. Good job, Mark. All right. What's this we have here? Villanous Visa has been watching since Trump was elected and glad to see you still doing the live show with my favorite professional, Stick Yeller. Also got my got hand surgery tomorrow. Wish me a speedy recovery.

Congrats, by the way. They're very much. Thank you very much. Good luck and best wishes, man. Yes. Rest those forearms, baby. Ted Thorne says their source close to Trump is a homeless man under the overpass that that peed on Trump Tower.

The overpass that peed on Trump Tower. That's the joke I like to make. The media will be like a source close to Nancy Pelosi Pelosi's office suggests that blah, blah, blah. And the source is a homeless guy in the alley. Well, yes, he's close to her office. What do you think we meant? They say, I love it when they say, according to a source who's familiar with Trump's thinking. And then they just write whatever.

It's like, do people really fall for this? A source close to Trump, a source who knows Trump Trump's thinking says that Trump wants ice cream right now. Why would you? What? You can read his mind? Yes. I believe it. Yeah.

Who knows what the CIA's got going on, right? All right. What do we got here? Ian Slater says, what if Dems go for Geneva rules? World Court. What does that mean? I'm going to look it up. Well, I know about the World Court and the Geneva Convention and all? World Court. What does that mean? I don't know. I'm going to look it up.

Well, I know about the World Court and the Geneva Convention and all that stuff, but what does that mean? Democrats go for it? Like they do it here? They want to put it here or something? I'm not sure. All right. Shadav the Vetmark says, breaking news, Sargon's channel is re-monetized.

Source, his live stream like 20 minutes ago, which ended now. Yeah, he messaged me about it. That's awesome. They brought him back. Good. Now that they've realized they should embrace podcasting. Yeah, and Carl's very, very balanced, dude. You know what's fascinating is that YouTube had the first big podcasts and rejected them and smashed them.

Oops. It's crazy, right? They were scared. They were like, no, no, we don't want this. We don't want podcasts. Now podcasts are the biggest, most? They were scared. They were like, no, no, we don't want this. We don't want podcasts. Now podcasts are the biggest, most lucrative thing ever. They're like, we should do podcasts. Well, it's too bad, YouTube.

Man, you really screwed that one up, you morons. Still got a head start, though. X is coming, but you still got a head start. I don't know if X is going to be able to pull it off. I know they need a good video searching system. No, the issue is that, you know, seven, eight years ago, when we're all producing YouTube videos, YouTube, you could see in the analytics

when they just downranked all podcasts. It was basically, there were no YouTube podcasts at the time. It was YouTube commentary, and they were like, we don't want this, downrank it. Now it's the biggest media and the most lucrative,

and YouTube is like, let's make a podcast section. Yes. Now they're prioritizing it and boosting channels, and it's too bad. It's too bad. They could have been number one. You still can be.

Boost my channel. You'll be number one. They are technically number one, but it's usually short form. So a lot of podcasts are long. You'll watch, it'll be like 45 minutes, maybe two hours. Like this one on Apple or Spotify or whatever, it's going to be like two hours long. But on YouTube, it's 10 minute videos.

And so they're calling those podcasts, which is technically true, but. Oh, like 10 minute interviews? Well, like when I do a segment on my morning show and it's 10 minutes long. They call it a podcast? It is a podcast. It's, you know, it's part of my podcast.

It's funny that it all comes from the iPod. It all comes from Steve Jobs and that Apple product. No, I don't believe that's true. Well, that's what he claimed, Steve Jobs. Podcasting was created by some dude. We talked about this on the show already. Yeah, but then I looked it up and I got it that Jobs was like, they named it after my iPod. No, P-O-D meant something.

iPod podcast. We can look into it after the show. I don't want to interrupt you for chance. We did this on the show. Oh, the etymology says it's a portmanteau of iPod and broadcast. Yeah, Apple. Let's see. Ben Hammersley, who coined it in February 2004,

writing an article for The Guardian newspaper. It was audio blogging community in September 2004, blah, blah, blah, an iPod or dev mailing list. Okay, so maybe you're right. It was adopted by podcaster Adam Curry. Despite the etymology, the content can be accessed using any computer. The term podcast predates Apple's addition of podcasting features to the iPod and iTunes software. The idea of podcasting came after people started saying it, but it was definitely that pod, that iPod.

iPod. Such a funny name. They were awful at the time. It was funny because MP3 players were trash. Did you get the first iPod at the time? No, I did not. I had a much, much cheaper and more effective digital MP3 player. Yeah, they were.

It was this big, and I put a memory card in it, and I had, I don't know, all of the songs that I wanted on it. You had those circular dial things that you would spin your finger around on, and the one button in the middle you'd push. I hated iPods. It was groundbreaking. Because I used to have a CD Walkman that I'd run around with. Dude, before any of that, I had a PDA. It was the Windows PDA, and it had a stylus, and I put songs on it. I'd plug in my headphones, put them in my pocket, and I'd use that.

Pretty sure that was before the iPod. Actually, this would have been, yeah, I think just before. Was it a personal digital assistant? PDA. Yeah. And it had a PCI adapter, so you could plug it in, and then it was like this massive thing, and you'd stick an internet card to give it Wi-Fi.

It was crazy. I don't even know. I don't even remember where I got that thing. What year? This was like 2004 or like end of 03-ish. That's awesome. Because these things, it was really funny too. I remember when I had a candy bar phone and I worked at O'Hare and all the dudes from

the Philippines had more advanced phones from Asia and they were showing like the huge screens and like the games. And I was like, whoa. And I looked at them, I was playing Snake. And I was like, wow. And then I upgraded the singular rocker, it was called. And it had speakers on the side. It could play MP3s.

Yeah, do you remember that one? And then they told me it had unlimited messaging. So I downloaded AOL Instant Messenger and I was using it. And then they billed me like $8,000. Did you dispute it? Yeah, they told me it's too bad. What? Yeah, I said, screw off.

And I was like, okay, bye. It was like, I don't got any money. Later. It's like, I work at the airport, dude's nuts then we got the uh what was it the razor oh yeah the razor my first i got the galaxy s1 it was called the galaxy s as i was like i guess i'll get one of these phones and i'll use this like the first smartphone you had yeah wild had the that was uh 2010 i think the first thing that was close to a smartphone that i had was the sidekick oh yeah t-mobile sidekick i had that too yeah that thing i had a blackberry before that with a little spinny ball yeah blackberry yeah it was fun

all right butter toast 1403 says there's already people saying their printed ballot is stating they didn't select a candidate or it's flipped their vote. Multiple posts on FB from Texarkana. AR citizens posting about it. I can't verify the authenticity yet. Interesting. Mark Clancy says Judge Joe Brown has pointed out the Biden that Biden can grant asylum to all illegals since 2021. And maybe they can become citizens in five years. Legal to vote midterms.

Yep. Indeed, indeed. Drunken Rambling says Phil's right. It isn't the legitimacy of the story. They don't need evidence. They just need the rumor. It is very concerning. Yep.

The Holonium says, the DOD directive, I believe, it's in context of National Guard counter-drug operations with state law enforcement. Mostly. I'm also suspicious, though. Yeah. What was that that you were referring to earlier? The I forget the that's a directive that allows them to use lethal force on American citizens. And if just because it's intended to be for drug enforcement doesn't mean that it couldn't be used for other activities that the government wants to do.

This is like people that question the government or some ridiculous phrase. All right. Peter Gohawk says, this is why we need a federal law for voting. Well, like I was saying, the Constitution prescribes a single day for voting, Election Day. And then Democrats decided they would have election month and election after month. So now they're saying that we're not going to have the election results in for 10 to 13 days in Maricopa. And Fox is saying we won't know the results of the election until at least the ninth. It's unbelievable. I mean, that's just no. You know what the issue is that Republicans are like, OK. It's like, what do you mean? There's rules. The Constitution is Election Day.

So you just go, no, we have Election Day. Election Day is over. What's the result? Well, we're still waiting for votes. It doesn't matter if the votes come in. The election's over. How stupid. Could you. How does it make sense? Today's the Election Day. Everybody cast your ballots. My vote will be there tomorrow. OK, well, tomorrow is not Election Day. Election Day is today. We're counting the votes today. My vote will be here tomorrow. It's like, OK, well, here's what we're going to do when When your vote comes in tomorrow, there's a trash can, and we'll put it right in there. Because that's not election day. But Republicans just go, aw, they're going to count

ballots, votes after. I guess they win. I don't understand why any, any, and I'm talking about the politicians and the lawyers, just be like, uh, no, we don't count votes after election day. It's like, you have one day to vote. You want to do mail-in voting? Fine. The ballots got to be here on election day to be counted election month how are they able to do that though like is the implication that like the democrat the democrats

control that decision the implication is that republicans just are i don't know will-less like one really good example is how christians don't vote and this is this is like tremendously frustrating in uh charlestown it's a really good example well they don't how Christians don't vote, and this is, like, tremendously frustrating. In Charlestown, it's a really good example. Yeah, they don't vote, though. So, you know, like, obviously they vote to a certain degree, but they largely don't. And what some people say is that Christians believe that they only have to go to church and their duty is fulfilled. And then it's just like, well, you can't fulfill God's mandate on earth if you don't participate in earthly things. But regardless of that, Charlestown's a really good example of—they have a Latin mass.

They had this procession where 2,000 Catholics marched down the street in protest of the things we're seeing culturally. And then city council in a West Virginia town is liberal, progressive. And I was talking to one of the city council members who was a conservative, and he was like, yeah, Charlestown passed an ordinance in support of Pride Month. And I was like, how? What? Charlestown? I was like, we're in West Virginia. And he goes, oh, nobody votes. Conservatives don't vote. And I was like, you just had 2,000 Catholics marching through the streets. He's like, yeah, none of them vote. It's really difficult to get them to actually go out

and vote. Well, this is what happens. You know, maybe this is the time where they're going to wake up and they're going to go out and vote in bigger numbers, but you'd think Christians would vote. I guess they don't. We'll see this time around, though. We will see. Because they,

if they don't. Alright, Ricardo Bonilla says, I already casted your early ballot for Trump here in Tucson, Arizona, and my two adult kids are also voting for Trump. MAGA. MAGA? MAGA. Khalil Rose says, glad you're not quitting. Congrats on the new family.

I listen literally every morning in the gym. Fight, fight, fight. Phil, you're the ish. Ian, you're okay too. JK, love you, glad you're not quitting. Congrats on the new family. I listen literally every morning in the gym. Fight, fight, fight. Phil, you're the ish. Ian, you're okay too. JK, love you, bro. Cheers, man. So there's also youtube.com slash timcastnews. For those that have not subscribed, you should.

Because that show is actually bigger than IRL. And has been forever. Gets way more views per segment and gets way more views overall in less time, actually. So, you know, IRL's two hours. The morning show is an hour 20. The morning show is broken into segments and gets substantially more viewers. People love a good stream of consciousness.

That's for sure. Yeah, that's why they watch, I suppose. Then we have the culture war on Friday. This Friday, we're going to be discussing the fall of empires with Rudyard Lynch. And I don't want to say who else is coming. I don't know if they're confirmed, but we're going to have a mini discussion and debate on what's going to happen after the election, civil war, et cetera, in greater depth, which should be shocking and fascinating at the same time.

Doug Summons says, Ian has no idea about Australian politics. Goff was a disaster. I don't care. He got removed from office by the governor general, whether he's a disaster or not. The people chose him, and then the king removed him, or MI6 removed him. That's not what I'm talking about. It's his quality of governance.

I'm talking about the rule of law and people's sovereignty to elect their own leaders. The real fallen demon says Ian is wrong. No coup in Australia. Goff, Goff Whitlam, got in on withdrawal from Vietnam, but also brought in a bunch of Soviet-style reforms, upset the right of the country. Kerr used his constitutional power to remove him. Yeah, Kerr apparently was the CIA whistleblower, said that Kerr, the CIA referred to Kerr as their man. The CIA, the American CIA referred to Kerr as their man.

And Kerr is the governor general that had Goff removed. You guys should look into it, man. The CIA, the American CIA, referred to Kerr as their man, and Kerr is the governor general that had Goff removed. You guys should look into it, man. And your problem's not the monarch, then? Well, the monarch's basically controlled by the CIA and MI6, and they're using imperial strategy. They're using imperial decree to remove prime ministers, or they did in 1875. Normies Get Out says, you can't have capitalism without a free market, and no such market exists today. That is not correct.

It's just in the middle of the ocean. So it's not a big market, but among the ultra-wealthy it is. There are some countries, actually, where you can probably just do whatever you want. I don't know. You can say that, but it is a market that's necessary,

and it doesn't have to be a completely free market that's why china went from being basically objectively like abject poverty for the vast majority of its citizens in the 70s to you know having a massive massive economy now all right let's see what we got here in the old super chats let's see matthew picard says it's good to know you're okay brandon glad you came out of the incident unscathed we all know mayo mullen would have pooped his pants and kissed his boyfriend go watch mad men is that yes go watch mad men thank you dude i appreciate you yeah i'm about to pass danny mullen subscribers pretty soon i'll be dropping the buckingham

mayonnaise mullen uh merch where do you get that where people do people get that merch? Buckinghamshop.com. Coming soon. Not yet, though. I still have about 30,000 subscribers yet. But yeah, Tim, this guy at the beginning of my YouTube career tried to badmouth me and kind of stifle my growth, and I squirted him in the face with mayonnaise in the streets of Austin, Texas,

and it became a bit of a meme. And then now I'm about to pass him in subscribers, so it's kind of funny, kind of sweet. All right. Schlip says, Tim, you're like my dad, except you're still here. Also, any word on the free boards for first 100 subs to the boonies?

I got the first email about it. Indeed, they're all sitting out there and I'm going to go sign them and then we're going to ship them all out. So everybody will be getting their boards and we're very excited for that. Very cool. And we sold out once again

of the Step on Snack and Find Out boards, which puts us at like, I don't know, 350 boards sold in a month just on that one. And then the boobies sold over probably close to 300 already as well. Shout out to Sam for his boobies board. Everybody loves the blue-footed boobie. Do you guys know what a blue-footed boobie is? I do now. They are Galapagos birds, I believe, and they have blue feet, and they are not scared of people.

So when people show up, they just look at them, and they're all weird, and they got big faces, and they're funny. I don't know why they're called boobies, but people love it. People love boobies. I wonder why they're called boobies. Indeed. Indeed. All right, all right. CJ says, what do we got here?

Congrats on getting married. Best wishes. Raising based beanie baby. I think Republicans won't get the House, Senate and president. They will make gains at state level. What does the crew think? I mean, I would like to see them get the House and the Senate, but I mean, I don't know. I think that the executive is the target for the left. So I think their intent on keeping Trump out, I don't think that there's going to be much. I don't think there'll be significant shenanigans down ballot. So I would like to see as many Republicans win as possible.

I have an answer to why they're called boobies, by the way. Based on this is according to Brave AI, based on the provided search results, the bird is called booby due to a mishearing of the Spanish word bobo, which means clumsy or foolish. The early European colonists may have characterized these birds as stupid or clumsy. I think they are. Watch videos of them. They're hilarious.

That's awesome. Yeah, they walk and their feet are like this. Can you get one? I don't think so. I want to get one. Actually, you probably could. I don't know. I don't think they're in danger. Imagine having a booby in a capybara in your backyard. That would be so great. Yeah. Booby would probably fly away, though.

Oh, they fly? Yeah, I'm pretty sure they fly. Shucks. Yeah. But capybaras are great. I want one. You ever see those videos where they're just chilling in hot springs? Yeah, I want one really bad.

Or like when all the animals are chilling around them? Yeah. They're like the friend magnet of animals. They're just like all these, you know. You ever see those videos where like all the animals are drinking at the watering hole and like the lion is there and the gazelle is there but they're just like, we have a truce. Because you can't screw around with the

watering hole, you know. Everybody needs it. If you get into a fight there, like you're in trouble. Tell that to crocodiles. Or not crocodiles, gators. But everything's a prey to the gator. You know what I mean? Yeah. So they're all worried about that. But like the lion and the gazelle are sitting there just drinking the water like we'll get to it later

right now it's like if we get into a fight at the water and we can't get water we're in trouble I'm hungry but I'm more thirsty than I am hungry yeah yeah killing an animal in the water would taint it for everybody maybe they do understand that alright what have we here call me tag says congratulations Tim and Allison

parenthood is the greatest pursuit. Any of any one of us can make very happy for you. Today is my son's birthday. He just turned four. Love him with all of my heart. Hashtag blessed. It was the weirdest thing in the world to see a tweet from newsweek talking about me announcing marriage and a child.

Oh, I was like, I'm scrolling Twitter. I'm looking at the news. And then there's a big picture of me. And it's like newsweek. Tim pool announces restructuring due to marriage and new child. I was like, I'm scrolling Twitter, I'm looking at the news, and then there's a big picture of me, and it's like Newsweek. Tim Pool announces restructuring due to marriage and new child. I was like, why did they write this?

Because you're big news, Tim. I guess. Big time, Tim. Influencer. Congratulations, by the way, brother. I appreciate it. How long until the baby's due? I don't know if I'm supposed to say.

Oh, that's okay. Sorry if those... Yeah, but, you know, soon. Not more... Not 10 months. Not more than 10 months. Yeah. Soon. I got got one coming about nine weeks very very excited all right congratulations yeah based that is very based all right what do we got here brandon whitley says alex jones has been saying exactly what phil is saying but not saying maybe saying it it's 100 the plan unless trump gets ahead uh and calls it out

oh well done let's see what is this touge technician is that you say that ian tog oh ian rolls 20s under pressure that's true sometimes sir thank you yeah so the meme is that you know in dungeons and dragons you know how to play dnd um no if you roll a one it's a critical failure it's just the worst possible thing if you roll 20 it's a critical success it's guaranteed to hit so like it could be you need you can't your guy is too weak you've got a guy he's got no strength and he's fighting about he's fighting a gigantic monster there's not there's no way you can possibly damage him then you roll a 20 it's a guaranteed success and then like the the master makes up some weird reason how it works. And it's hilarious.

You hit him in the eye, his one wee spot that you didn't know about. No, but it's more, you gotta be more fun than that. So it's like, it's like I've, I have a level one squire.

I mean, not a squire, it's not a real role, but like, let's say you just started and it's like a level 20 dragon. You can deal no damage, you don't have enough strength. And then you have to be like the,

you swing your sword, and it hits the toe of the dragon, which makes the dragon laugh, and he lifts up his toe and looks at it, but then rolls backward accidentally, flipping down, falling down a hill, and then banging his head against a tree and going unconscious. Dang, that's Ian. So basically rolling a 20 is when you act like you shouldn't be able to succeed, but you do.

You KO. Critical failure. So they say Ian either just totally misses or just totally nails it. You know what helps me totally nail it in Roll20s in a high-pressure conversation is streaming live in the morning. When you go live and go stream of consciousness for an hour or two hours and you are rolling, you have a fantastic memory. It is loosening up my memory.

It's awesome. All right. David Foster says I'm the executive producer for Redacted News if you ever need help with your studio stuff let me know can help you get it set love the show don't leave well we're we got some plans in the works but things are going things are going

Matthew McMillan says Tim did you hear some of the Daily Wire's computers fried themselves the same day as yours it wasn't the same day but yes Michael K Knowles had the exact same issue. The control board, they were trying to go live and it just exploded. So I don't think it literally exploded. It shut down on them. They don't know

why. And it's like, how about that? Very strange. What do you think is behind it? Sometimes computers break. It's a coincidence. I think the issue may be that I don't know... Does the Daily Wire go live all the time i mean i don't think they're on youtube live they may be i'm i assume they go live on the members the members only right yeah indeed the ben shapiro daily wire yeah yeah yeah michael

knolls was tweeting that he was trying to do his show live in the net. All right, let's grab some more Super Chats. What have we got here? Edmondo says, super cool to see Brandon on the show. Sorry to hear about what happened to you and your crew, but glad you're all right. Much love and keep on cold ass riding, brother. Yeah. Can you imagine if I got shot in the head? That would have been terrible.

But you didn't get shot, right? I didn't get shot. That's crazy. Just by luck. How many people got hit? Well that's the thing about switches is they miss. Terrible aim. Yeah, like they didn't, I imagine they weren't like front sight and like both hands on it.

I'm not a gangster and I don't want any problem with anybody and you know I didn't work with the police to get these people arrested. I don't want any problems. I want it to be done with the shooting. But yo, you guys have, they have terrible aim. Like pathetic, pathetic aim. Well, you're right across the street. 60 rounds, you only landed four.

Oh, that's a switch. That's why full auto is, it's funny when they're, when. It's not practical. Democrats are like, we have to ban full auto. And it's like, dude, full auto. These people miss everything. I'm an example. Did anyone ever play a video game with full auto?

Come on. They, they, they simulate when you like you're spraying and you know, it's in your, and you're missing. And then, you know, you're trying to hold the recoil back. To be fair, dudes that are gangbanging and stuff, they're not at the range. They never hit the range. Because if you have

a full-auto Glock, like I've shot a full-auto Glock and you can control them, but you're going to have both hands on it and you're going to be looking down the sights. That's not cool. No, I mean, none of it's cool. Don't shoot people. All right, everybody, if you haven't already,
