ice facility, killing one and leaving two others in critical condition. Now, this is the fourth
attack on an ice facility since August 1st. So this summer has been a massively violent time,
and we're going to talk about that tonight, and it's probably going to be the major topic of
conversation. Tim is going to be doing a piece with Jesse Waters, and we're going to cover that,
but before we do, why don't we go ahead and go around the table and introduce everybody,
Marty O'Donnell is our guest today
So tell everyone about yourself, Marty
We can talk about violence all you want
But at some point we've got to talk about some video games
Which are not violence
This is why people aren't violent
Because they're playing video games instead
Yeah, so I'm a composer and audio director
And I did Halo and Destiny
And Miss Myth the Fallen Lords
And Oni and a whole bunch of games
Before that I did TV commercials
So...
And now you're running for Congress, right?
And now, yes, instead of
retiring and playing with my grandsons, which I still am going to do. I'm still going to play with my
three grandsons. I decided it's time for me to do my civic duty and payback because I'm going to
run for Congress and unseat the Democrat Congresswoman in my district in Nevada and swap it out
with a Republican. Me. Awesome. Well, thank you for joining us. Brett is here. Guys, what's going on?
It's Brett. Normally we're doing pop culture crisis Monday through Friday at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. You should
Join us there, but we get a bunch to get into tonight.
I'm also in the house.
Hello, Phil.
Hello, everyone.
Good to meet you, Marty.
Yeah, nice to meet you.
I'm a video game aficionado been since 1983, I think, when I got my start playing Atari for the first time.
That's cool.
The Atari was your first one?
Yeah, it was a big one.
We had a Commodore 64 and Atari 2,600 in the house.
I had both of those myself.
Yes.
Mail order monsters.
Shout out.
Awesome.
All right.
So we're going to jump right into this from Reuters.
Gun Monroe anti-ice on unused bullet in fatal attack on Dallas Immigration Office.
McKinney, Texas, September 24th,
a gunman roll anti-ice on an unused bullet
killed one detainee and wounded two others on Wednesday
when he fired on an immigration and customs enforcement
field office in Dallas from a nearby rooftop
before taking his own life, officials said.
FBI director Cash Patel posted a photo on X
of what he said was the suspect's unused ammunition
showing the shell casing of one round
inscribed with the phrase anti-ice along,
what were to go?
along the side.
While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack, Patel wrote.
U.S. President Donald Trump quickly politicized the incident on his truth social platform, accusing the radical left Democrats of stoking anti-ice violence by constantly demonizing law enforcement, calling for ICE to be demolished, and comparing ICE to officers to Nazis.
Now look, if the Democrats are actually against these attacks, and like I said earlier, there have been four ICE facilities attacked just since August 1st.
If Democrats are actually against these, it is incumbent on the Democrats to make a simple statement, allow ICE to do its job.
Stop attacking ICE facilities.
They don't.
They have not because generally they want to see this.
activity. They want to see people frustrated with ICE and they want to see people taking matters
into their own hands. I mean, seriously, give me a break. They're going to accuse Trump of politicizing
something because he said, this is a kid who's leftist and he writes anti-ice. So he's anti-ice. How is
that politicizing? It's just the fact. Yeah. Like it's the kid already said, I'm a leftist and I'm
anti-ice and his whole family and the whole
background is that it's
already been politicized. It's not
something Donald Trump did. If I wanted to talk
about the politicization of it, you'd talk
about Gavin Newsom who went on with Jimmy Kimmel
last night. Just last night. Just literally
just last night, talking
about anti-mask, little
ironic, policies
that they're implementing in the state of California
to prevent ICE officers from
wearing masks so they work. And then they're like,
but why would they want to cover
their face? Oh, I have no idea.
And then, of course, this happens the very next day.
You could make the argument that what he said the night before played a larger role in what happened today than any so-called politicization that Trump did merely by pointing out what the obvious political affiliation of somebody who writes anti-ice on ammunition.
And whether it be, whether it be Gavin Newsom or whether it be Pritzker, who's been saying, calling ICE Gestapo, calling Donald Trump a fascist, saying that the enforcement.
of immigration law is a terrible, terrible thing, and it's evil, and you're, your, you're
dissim-the, the vernacular they use, too, you're disappearing people. Who are the congresswoman
they've been calling them the Jack? AOC, and Gestapo and stormtroopers.
Jayapal from Washington, obviously AOC, the whole, you know, Omar has been saying it,
the whole squad. I mean, this is not some kind of isolated,
one particular
Congress person or one representative that's actually speaking out of pocket.
This is the constant refrain from the Democrats
for at least the past 10 years.
And this is normal.
And I think that this is what you see.
You see people saying, look, it is incumbent on us
to go and take matters into our own hand
because, again, the type of rhetoric that you get,
it's not just that Donald Trump is a fascist or a Nazi,
it's also there won't be elections again.
How many times have you heard?
Newsom is saying there won't be elections.
Oh, it's the end of democracy.
It's a threat to democracy.
It's a, you know, they've been saying this for so long.
But here's the thing.
It's the center of the left that's saying this.
You know, you have to compare center left and center right.
And it's like what the right is saying at the center is just common sense, normal stuff.
I wish it was just the far left.
But the center of the left is saying.
this crazy, wacky, horrible stuff.
I get the feeling that they're justifying
by thinking, okay, you know what?
A little bit of chaos can create good in society,
so let's maybe allow that to happen
and that they think that what will happen
is that the government will ease off
and pull back on ice.
But what you don't realize is when you stoke chaos,
no one controls that.
I totally disagree with you.
I don't think that it's about trying to produce
what anyone would consider good.
It's literally just trying to produce chaos
in order to stymie the administration from doing what they were voted into office to do.
Well, the people in some of these states, the big cities, especially, if you've ever lived in like a big city,
there's a lot of illegal immigrants that end up becoming your friends in those cities.
And if they're getting yanked out of their houses, they're probably like, this is the most evil thing I've ever experienced.
We have to stop it.
Like, that's...
Are you talking about citizens or are you talking about politicians?
Because he's talking about the way that the politicians are framing it, which is very different from the way.
your neighbors are going to frame it. The politicians may be more or maybe have more of an
agenda, but the people, the message is getting like, it's stoking this feeling of like what's
happening is evil. People think it's evil and they're, they're supposed to break the law
to stop the evil. The left is saying it's evil, but like I don't believe my constituents
in Las Vegas, most of these people who are, you know, they're legal immigrants. They went
through the process. They feel like the illegals and the open borders is what's causing all the
And they don't see ICE as anything but something that is going to help fix the situation.
So I just feel like the middle of the left, the center left people are what you said, which is like we want to disrupt Donald Trump at all costs, no matter what happens.
And that what that's going to do is going to cause the fringy, you know, nihilistic crazy kids to go out there and just start shooting and then committing suicide.
This is another guy who commits suicide today, right?
so it's like this nihilism this violent nihilism is going to like
I have two choices because nothing has any meaning
I'm going to commit suicide and I'm going to commit
murder people in that and usually in the order of murdering first
I don't know how much time we have before they have to run Tim segment
but what do you do you think it has been a net benefit or a net positive
because we're talking about how it's being framed from the left
but the video do you see the Theo Vaughan thing about being framed
in the ice video. Do you think that those videos from
DHS are doing more harm than good?
I think that those are probably
throwing red meat to the base.
There probably are people that
see them and say, oh, this is so
terrible that they're doing this. It's so awful
that they're saying these things.
And obviously Theo Vaughn is like,
look, man, don't paint a target on me. And that's
a legitimate concern. Because he said that yesterday
and then this happens today, he's like, I don't want to get caught
up. And I totally respect his perspective.
But I do think that the
people that are looking at
those things and that are apoplectic about them.
If it wasn't a
video that ICE put out, it would be
something else that they would be apoplectic about.
They would be, the, the
reaction that they have
is going to be the same,
whether it be something that the Wright thinks is funny,
or whether it be something totally
mundane and anodyne, right?
I saw that, did you guys see the ICE
video of Pokemon?
Pokemon? They started,
oh, we're about to go up on us,
that they use the song, the theme
song from Pokemon. My friend Jason Page is the
singer. So I turn it on, I hear my friend's
voice singing, got to catch them! And they're
grabbing illegal immigrants, and it's like...
That's what I was talking about. That's what I was asking Phil about.
I said, do you think that video is a benefit for the
base or not? I want to ask Marty, I know we're about
to go to a clip, but like, how would you feel if one of
your music's or your own vocals were just
taken and used by a gun on it? Trust me.
My Halo Monk chat has been
used in a lot of places I never
approved. So yeah, I would not be happy about it.
I'm guilty of that, my band. I told Marty
I didn't say I was
upset about all of them.
But I just want to, you make sure I'm coming clean.
All that remains, we use that for a long, long time.
Just write me a check after the show.
Absolutely. There won't be a lot of zeros.
I'll write you check.
So, yeah, I guess Tim is going to be on, what is it?
Jesse Waters in just a minute or so.
Shout out to Jesse Waters.
If you want to bring it up and actually bring up the volume, we can jump in here.
So that way we get a little bit of the pre-
pre-hit context.
I'm watching, there you go.
The topic is obviously
going to be the violence that the left is engaging
in lately.
Yeah, still getting harassed.
Seeing Gavin Newsom, I got a
Gavin Newsom, I'm sorry to tell you guys, so remind me
after this. I thought that was so
irresponsible of him last night.
That conservative needed a police escort to
leave campus.
Kimmel lost his job for four days, and they
They said free speech was under attack.
Charlie Kirk was killed for exercising free speech,
and they said he had it coming.
They say we need more civil debate,
and we need to be more civil.
So when we try to engage in civilized debate,
they chase us off campus.
Now the freedom of the press is under attack.
But when it's conservative press, the media is silent.
Here's a reporter getting swarmed outside the UN.
Watch like that.
Charlie Clark.
Why would I say that?
Why would I say that?
He's racist.
No, he's not.
Yes, he is.
Oh, he's not.
Well, look at you.
Look at you.
That's not black woman.
Go, that's got it.
Don't get it.
You want to blame him?
Hey, hey, stop it.
Stop it.
Get off.
Get off.
Get off.
That looks civil.
Hillary says the rhetoric has to stop.
And we agree.
But she says not from her, from you.
We have got to stop demonizing each other.
Yeah.
Now, I think most of that right now in our country's history is coming, you know, from the right.
You know, we have got to stop with the finger-pointing and the scapegoating.
Hillary called half the country deplorables and irredeemable, despicable Neanderthals.
He needed to be deprogrammed and have their first and Second Amendment stripped.
What is the right said about Hillary that Bill hasn't already said?
And it's not like men in Maga-Hats are shooting up Planned Parenthoods and Hollywood celebrities or journalists or
politicians. No one on the right is acting on the language we're using. On the left,
they are. And it's starting to feel like that's the Democrat strategy, intimidate us into
shutting our mouths. They're using bullets to bully us into political submission. It kind of
feels like they know what they're doing. It's terrible. Political violence has gotten out of control
in this country. We've got to stop it. We've got to condemn it. And that starts, unfortunately,
at the very top of the Democratic Party.
If you want to stop political violence,
stop attacking our law enforcement as the Gestapo.
There you go.
If you want to stop political and violence,
stop telling your supporters
that everybody who disagrees with you is a Nazi.
If you want to stop political violence,
look in the mirror.
Absolutely.
And if they're not going to look in the mirror
and stop triggering their crazies
to shoot us, stab us,
and blow up our cars,
then we're going to have to crack down.
We can't sit back and not defend ourselves.
It's open season on us.
And if we're not going to save ourselves, who else are we going to save?
Host to Tim Kass.
Tim Poole joins me now.
How hot is it right out there now these days?
I've never received more death threats.
I've also got very serious security where we do our show.
The threat level was so great.
My team instructed me not to travel.
I was unable to go to the Memorial Memorial.
for Charlie Kirk. But, you know, Jesse, earlier just now, you were mentioning the attacks
that we've seen throughout the past weeks and months, but I want to make sure this is clear
as it pertains to Jimmy Kimball. The initial reporting was that advertisers and affiliates were upset.
Sinclair said they wanted to bring the temperature down. None of that has changed. Sinclair
and Next Star are still saying they will preempt his show. As far as we know, advertisers are
still upset. So what made the difference that brought his show back? Well, this is a little bit of
speculation, but there was a terror attack on an ABC affiliate in Sacramento by what is reported
to be a Democrat who opened fire on the building. And it's been reported by the New York Post
that Sinclair pulled their Charlie Kirk Memorial because of terroristic threats against ABC
affiliates. So I agree with you. It's open season on people who are standing up, speaking out,
or supporting Trump. But the left is also attacking regular people to force their will. And I think
it's because they recognized Donald Trump won the popular vote. Normal people have spoken.
and they're not tolerating their strange policies that are destroying this country anymore.
I'm afraid an ice agent's going to get shot. I'm afraid they're going to shoot him in cold blood.
They're going to put a gun right to his head, and that's what's next. They're not going to just sit on rooftops and fire rifles.
I feel like we're going to see blood in the streets if this continues to go the way it's going.
For sure. I think we have, especially with Charlie Kirk. It was horrifying. And, you know, I want to make a point because, Jesse, I was watching the five earlier.
this a lot from liberals that these studies show the right is more responsible. But see, this is a
trick. I don't think you and I have any problem condemning some fringe white supremacist that has
nothing to do with what we believe or what we support. No one in the mainstream Republican
party is going to defend those guys. But the person who shot Charlie Kirk, his ideology,
was so in line with the Democratic Party that AOC went on the floor of the House and denounced
Charlie Kirk in much the same language. This is what we are seeing from run-of-the-mill,
Democrats, that's actually what has me more concerned.
Yeah, and the leadership, it says nothing.
Hakeem's out to lunch, Pelosi's out to lunch, Schumer doesn't even know what's going on,
and that's the real problem, because the crazies have now taken over.
All right, Tim, stay safe, good to talk to you.
You know, to Jesse's point.
Let's bring in Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
I don't think that I agree that the leaders are out to lunch.
I think the leadership has changed.
The people that are actually setting the tone for the left or for the Democratic,
Now, they are people like Yohan Omar.
They are people like...
And the old leaders are afraid of those people.
Absolutely, they're deathly afraid of the followers of those people.
And so they've been usurped.
I agree with you, totally.
All right.
Tim Poole in the house.
We just saw him on TV.
Yeah, it's magic.
That's a time warp.
What are you guys talking about?
Shout out to Jesse Waters.
Talking about video game.
We were just talking about you, actually, and kind of following up with the conversation.
It's getting warm in here.
I'm going to turn it off.
Yeah, it's fine.
I was, my neck was cold.
Where were we at at this point?
Oh, talking about the leadership
in the Democratic Party
and actually maybe the real leadership
is the youth of the Democratic Party.
AOC and
Ilhan Omar.
With AOC reported to want to run for president
in 2028.
The point I was just making to Jesse Waters
that I've made on the show before
I don't, I don't care
to denounce, you see I'm running,
some fringe white supremacist guy,
like we all will denounce that.
Nobody wants to support that.
But AOC goes on the House floor and condemns Charlie Kirk and spreads those lies,
the same lies that motivated the shooter, as far as we know.
Yeah, she absolutely did.
Or even, Lee said.
The common sense center of the right is not labeling even the left, the far left or even the middle left
with the same kind of vitriol that we're hearing coming back at us.
We're not.
We're like, hey, do you have different ideas?
have different goals. Let's talk. Are you socialist? Let's talk about your socialism and why we think
it doesn't work. We're not calling you an existential threat. We're not calling you, you know,
killers or something, unless you start continuing to call us Gestapo and Nazis,
which is encouraging the fringe nihilists to start shooting at us. You know, one thing during
Biden's reign, no one on this show referred to him as Hitler. What they were doing with Twitter,
especially the fascist regime affecting and controlling the corporate media.
We still didn't fall back on ad hominem attacks and likening him to a terrorist threat.
It was like, look, we're going to create better leadership and we're going to change this.
The closest I can think of that is when he gave that speech with the all-red background.
Even then it was authoritarian.
There were comments of authoritarianism of militancy, but the rights stopped short of actually calling him a fascist or at least of Nazi or something like that.
there were people that said fascist, but that was a little, and that was a little hyperbolic.
I was used weird imagery that didn't make sense, but like, we don't even know what to call
somebody when we're being called fascists. What's the opposite? I think there is a segment of
the right, especially after what happened to Charlie Kirk, where they're using the term demonic
and they're referring to that, you know, there is that labeling of their views as demonic,
and that was all in the wake of what happened to Charlie Kirk, and that would be the closest
I can think of on the right as their label for those on the other side.
Probably. Let me just say the different.
The difference is, you know, my father and my father-in-law fought in World War II, fought against Nazis, fought against, you know, I knew somebody who was one of the first guys into Auschwitz.
So that's real evil.
And, yeah, we have to have organized ways of fighting real evil.
But when it comes to spiritual evil, we're talking about a spiritual battle.
So we're not using guns to fight a spiritual battle.
But coming back at us now is actual kinetic weaponry.
It's our culture.
leave. It's how we see the world. Yeah. You know, there was one interesting thing. You know,
when you go on these shows, shout to Jesse and Fox, you only get a couple minutes, right?
It's like one or two questions. I think the last time I went on I had just talked for like four
minutes and then he jumps in. But he made this point earlier in his opening that on the left
they're saying, we're at war, we're at war. And you know, we have to fight and do whatever we
have to do to win that war. The right's saying that, too. I think it's absolutely fine.
There's going to be a lot of liberals and they're going to say, oh, yeah, well, Alex
Jones was saying that shit, just that. And I'll say, indeed he was.
But I want to make this clear, we didn't start a war.
I didn't.
When they censored me and silenced me, when they accused me of lies and tried to smear me
to my own friends and family, and then when they showed up to events that I was putting on
and threatened to burn down theaters, I never went anywhere near these people.
We tried having an event in, I think it's Pittman, New Jersey.
And far leftists, anti-fell line, threatened to burn the theater down.
And so we had planned it for nine months, two weeks out, they cancel on us, and he tells us to screw ourselves, screw ourselves, we'll see us, we'll see me. He's like, I don't care. Nothing you say will change the fact they're going to burn my theater down. He's like, you can sue me for everything, but I'd lose my theater either way. I did not go to an Antifa club and threatened them. They attacked me. And so it's fascinating to see that we vote, we win. They attack. We vote. We lose. They attack. We vote. We vote.
we win, they attack again, all the while saying they are at war with us. And now you are getting
people on the right saying it's time to wake up. They are trying to destroy us. And that was a huge
wake-up call with Charlie Kirk. But I do think Jimmy Kimmel should be a very serious wake-up call
for everybody in that, according to the reporting, there's a Democrat-aligned individual,
a liberal who shot up an ABC station and several other affiliates received terroristic threats
or the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, and they gave him his show back.
ABC said, we're more scared of the terror from the left than the concerns from the right.
They also lost 2% of their value. Disney lost 2% stock value at $4 billion.
Is it really? 3.8 billion.
Amazon lost more.
Oh, the stock market dip, basically.
So again, we are dealing with an unrepentant force.
They are going on accents saying, ha-ha, we did it, boys.
Disney just lost $3 billion.
They did not lose $3 billion.
There's an estimated loss of around $2 to $3 billion market share from the dip of 2%.
But if you track the stock market like any sane person, you'll see Amazon dipped more.
There's no indication that Jimmy Kimmel, a single show on Disney,
caused the entirety of the Disney Corporation, which owns Marvel and Star Wars, to decline.
It's the lie they use to justify when the show comes back on the air after a literal terror attack,
they then go, it's because we cost them money.
I've been thinking about because you're saying kinetic warfare of guns and spiritual warfare and like how do you how do you do this so I'm thinking you need to forgive your enemies I know this sounds very weird but in the metaphor of if you're being attacked over and over and you're like stop please stop and you're like listen my military is so much you have no idea the hell that will be reigned upon you if you keep doing this please stop and they don't I forgive you for not knowing what you're doing but I will still issue whatever it takes to stop that threat divine retribution yeah
And I don't hold any hatred for those people because they didn't know anything.
But he's correct.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
To your point, that's exactly what we're calling for.
We want the power, we want the government to use its authority to stop this behavior.
So by the way, the government is the place that has the authority to do it.
And that is something we're depending upon.
So that's not the spiritual warfare.
The government is not spiritual.
It doesn't have to do a spiritual thing.
That's where the Bible is set up.
up the government as the authority they can do this.
To Ian's point, there's a lot of people in the chat saying he's wrong, but he is completely
correct. And I believe that there was someone on X who made a great quote that Jesus forgave
the thief on the cross, but he did not save his life. The point is, Ian is making a great
point. We are not the ones who hold hatred in our hearts and look at them and just say,
you know what, I don't care anymore. I just hate you. We are the ones who say, forgive them,
for they know not what they do, and now round them up, arrest them. These are criminals.
forgive does not mean to just let them run roughshod over the country and destroy everything we love.
It means that we don't, we won't let ourselves be blinded by hatred.
We will think logically and clearly and we will build a better union and society.
I agree with Ian on this one.
Yeah.
It absolutely means use all available legal and lawful authority to stop these violent terrorists and their threats.
Just don't hold hate.
That's going to blind you.
It's going to confuse you.
It's going to disrupt your logic.
It's bad for strategy.
And that's the funny thing, too, about the forgiveness.
before they not know what they do, is there's more than just the noble of, I am going to be a better
person, and I'm going to remove that hatred from myself, but I'm not going to spare you.
There's also the functional, the scientific, that when you are enraged, you don't think clearly.
So we need to approach this problem logically. That's why after Charlie Kirk was killed,
and I, tear-stricken from seeing this, still said, cooler heads must prevail.
We need to stop, pause, make sure there's no immediate reaction, keep calm,
and then assess what the problem is and how to solve it.
And I think that is now, especially with this morning, the terror attack this morning,
I don't believe that we are looking at a simple solution.
The Trump administration declaring Antifa a terrorist organization is good.
He's apparently going to have another executive order targeting leftist organizations
that are funding these things.
I believe they should do all of that.
However, I also believe that will escalate the left.
That will push them.
They will get angrier.
but that is no excuse
because the alternative
is to let them
burn everything down
after we decide
we will use
the legal means
to stop terrorism
I mean a man
opened fire
indiscriminately on a vehicle
and that's how
two detainees
ended up dying
and the liberals
are using that
as though he must be
right wing
no no
he was insane
he hated the right
he heard all of the rhetoric
from the left
we need to stop
these people
with every legal tool
we have
and we will be calm
and collected about it
and stern. And as they kick and scream, like demons and banshees, we will not be moved. We will say
the job must be done. Off to jail you go. And regarding this, using every legal means, this is, I
kind of brought this up before the show. I think about using evil to create order. And sometimes
you have your alignment, maybe you're 70 out of 100 good. If you do some evil, it's going to drop
your alignment by 10 points. But it may raise your order by 20 points. And we have to discuss
openly about what evil we're willing to see and allow to happen.
None.
Because, well, many people will say, I'm only good, I'm only orderly, nothing.
And then they turn a blind eye to the real evil.
Because war itself is killing humans to create order.
There is an evil act to create order, and there's a net benefit ideally.
Killing humans is not always evil.
I think your definition of evil is problematic.
So even the Bible says, thou shalt not kill.
And kill implies the term murder.
if you're killing, if you have to kill
to prevent a death of an innocent
or self-defense, the Bible says that's fine
and it's not an evil.
Now, in the big picture, let me just complete this.
In the big picture, evil is in the world
because man defied God.
And so we have to turn back to God,
but we're in the kingdom of Cain.
This is where brother kills brother.
This is the result of the fall.
So if in that big picture, any sort of death is the result of evil.
But it's not an evil act to defend the enemy.
The way I see is like murder will drop your alignment to zero.
That is do not ever, if we become permanent evil or permanent chaos, we lose.
Do not murder.
But killing in combat, it aligns with society.
It's called alignment because we know that's their job.
So it is evil, but it's not that evil.
It's not evil.
It's literally, it's nuts.
They say we're third.
No, murder is evil.
No, listen, there's a different word in the Bible for murder and kill.
Murder is evil.
Killing is not evil.
I'm going to speak video.
Guys, guys, I got to speak video game to Ian.
You got to speak video game to you.
When the guys are red, when their names are in red, your alignment doesn't drop.
Because the rest of the human condition knows that what you're doing is righteous.
It's like if you're killing wolves.
Let me explain, right.
You guys are speaking in biblical turns.
Ian speaking Dungeons and Dragons, and I understand the point he's trying to make, but it doesn't apply to real life.
And the analogy that I'll use is, we'll use Skyrim, for example.
If the person's name is green, and you attack them, your alignment goes down.
If the person's name is red, nothing.
There's no change.
To bring it to reality for the sake of what your argument is, if someone is evil, they are acting to destroy to harm others for, there's a variety of reasons that they do this.
stopping them is good
it's lamentable we don't want
people to die but it's not evil
to stop an evil person
it is just something we genuinely try to
avoid do this let me just say this about
the modern culture war and where we are
what we would describe as the right
the whole time has been making the argument
we can never be evil and what do you see
viral videos that are going viral
right now especially in the wake of Charlie Kirk's
murder of people on the right
at various rallies being mercilessly
beaten and not fighting back. There's Andy Noe is a really great example. When he was in Portland
and he's drenched in milkshake and bleeding from the ears disoriented, he is not fighting anyone.
He is simply trying to walk away. And that is a problem because evil triumphs when good men do
nothing. And now the attitude has changed. And it's changed for one big reason. This right that we call
it, which I don't even know if it makes sense. Call it America, whatever.
said, we still will not go and attack leftists, go to their place of worship or business,
whatever it may be, their DEI offices.
They said, we're going to vote.
We vote for you, Donald Trump.
Please use the legal lawful authority for which all of the people of our country have agreed upon
to exercise that authority against those who would transgress upon us.
And he is now, and now we are saying, bring it on.
But the thing about evil is it's how it aligns with the rest of people seeing the action.
If people feel and think that it's evil and 99% of the world thinks it's evil, then it is.
That's why they call it alignment.
It's how aligned are you with the rest of us.
You're talking about the perspective of people.
Like you're not addressing the fact whether it is or it isn't.
You're talking about how it's perceived by other people.
They have been manipulating your ability to act based on how they will portray it to the rest of the world.
Like he said with Andy No.
If Andy Noe doesn't attack back, they can't label him as somebody attacking other people.
So for a long time, the right has had to tie their hands behind their back and not let themselves act, excuse me, because of the fact that the media would paint them in a certain way.
Now we live in the age of the internet and social media and the information makes it to people much quicker without the bend from the media telling you what this act was from another person.
This is a great point because what would happen is if Andy Noe did swing back, they would edit the video to remove the attack on him and say Andy No attacks people.
The difference is now, Trump won the popular vote, and regular people have the confidence to say, enough, we are not the minority anymore.
And so what's happening now is, in the wake of Charlie Kirk's killing, in the wake of a terror attack on ABC, and now this morning's terror attack, I mean, the dam is breaking the right, is saying Trump, get the feds, get law enforcement.
If this doesn't stop here, it will only get worse.
They were doing it the other day with the lady who got in the face of the ICE officer, right?
And they were like, look at what this guy did to this poor woman, except for the fact was, when you look at the whole video, she got in his face, they removed her, she came back, got into his face again, and went back again.
They understand that they will be able to clip that video, portray that guy who works for ICE a specific way, and it doesn't matter if what their followers believe is true, if it is not actually true.
If you're acting in good faith, if you are doing the right thing, it doesn't matter if what they are showing you is bent and wrong and manipulated.
What matters is that you acted in good faith, you did the right thing, and the whole video is there for people to find, but they have to be willing to go out and find that video.
They have to be willing to seek the truth of the matter.
If you're talking about people who aren't looking to seek the truth of the matter, especially in politics, it's a lost cause because most people aren't.
Most people are going out there.
They're looking for videos and narratives that reinforce their view of the world.
You cannot act as if everything you're doing is to try and change their mind.
You can't change their mind.
You simply have to act properly.
There's something you said.
This is the function of government.
The prime reason that we have government is so that we normal people don't have to try to create order for ourselves.
We give that right to the government and it needs to create order and it needs to create order.
needs to create safety and has to be real order and real safety, and then laws can follow
from that. But we have nothing, laws mean nothing without actual order and safety.
This is orders for order for ourselves.
That's what I mean.
I mean, that's, we're using the government. We're not doing it, we're not taking our own guns
and going out and starting this.
Here's the principle philosophical challenge that we face as a nation is that we are good people,
and that's a fact. You look around the world, what we as a nation have said, going back
to our founding fathers, and even before then is, to be fair,
to everyone, we will write down what we expect of you and give you a chance to review this.
And even in the instance, you infringe upon the rules we have agreed to create, we will still
give you a chance.
We have given every opportunity to the antagonists of our way of life.
And so the issue now is, laws don't matter.
We talked about this last night on the members-only portion of the show, so join our Discord
server at Timcast.com, where someone said they were libertarian and they think we should get
rid of the Civil Rights Act. And I said, it literally doesn't matter if we do or do not have the
Civil Rights Act. The Civil Rights Act was created because our country was bifurcated. And so they said,
we're voting. They voted. Okay, here are the rules. Many in the, in southern states still didn't
want to comply with it. National Guard got called in and said, you will comply. And they used
force. In a society where everyone agrees, you need not any laws. You don't need any. Imagine if
every single person was identical in their worldview and belief, there'd be no theft.
there'd be no murder and there would be no need for police because nobody would agree upon
somebody else maybe courts because sometimes people disagree and they have arguments and so you need
civil matters but we don't live in that society and so the problem right now is as we talk about
the laws we want enforced the people of the united states need to recognize we are not in this as the
democrats called it war with americans we are a constitutional republic of the united states
in a conflict with a multicultural democracy of the United States.
And that's a quote, I'm paraphrasing Stephen Marsh, who is a more liberal person from Canada,
he said there are two nations occupying the borders of the U.S., constitutional republic and
multicultural democracy.
And he said he was for the multicultural democracy.
And I said, fair point, I'm for the constitutional republic, in which case you can now
recognize the distinction in this conflict.
The multicultural democracy doesn't care what our laws are.
we are a separate entity.
That's why they simultaneously argued
that Charlie Kirk should have been jailed
for his speech and Jimmy Kimmel is
a martyr for free speech. What they're really saying
is, you are not us.
So I just went on Jesse Waters' show
and he played all of these clips
about ICE agents, masked thugs,
kidnapping people. Gavin Newsom
going on, I was on Colbert the other day,
saying, masked men jumping out, disappearing
people, members of our
community. And I said,
illegal immigrants aren't members of our community, but you see the distinction.
When we vote in this country, our Congress, our courts, our laws, our representatives,
they all agree to the terms that we have drafted.
And that is, illegal immigration is a crime for which you can be deported.
The multicultural democracy of this country, Zoran Mamdani, a good example running for office,
says we must protect our people from ICE.
Right.
What does that mean?
I beg of people to understand this philosophical and functional distinction.
When I say something like, I'm a guitar player, you're a piano player.
When I say, we must guitar players come together and destroy the piano players.
Why would you ever think I was including you as a guitar player?
There's a clear distinction as to who we each are and we are different.
So when Zohran Mandani says, our people must be protected,
he is telling you, the American voter, you are outside of his community.
Your votes are meaningless to him.
Your whims, your wills, your laws, meaningless to him.
When you elect Donald Trump and he wins the popular vote and you say, please, Mr. President,
illegal immigration is a very large concern for the American people.
Zohan Mamdani looks your way and says to you, you are not one of us and we will do everything we can to stop you.
This is the distinction.
To your point, that's the distinction they're making when they say, our democracy.
I'm not talking about the United States.
They're talking about the Democrats and people that align with them, because they've already made the distinction by saying they are fascists.
They are trying to destroy our democracy.
The people that they point at and claim are fascists, those people are not part of their democracy.
I want to say one quick thing before I jump to the next story.
I just want to help people as best as I can give you the context clues.
They burn the American flag.
Right.
They fly a unique flag called the Progress Pride flag.
They say our democracy.
They say you are a threat to our democracy.
They say, we are at war with you.
I did not ask for this.
I begged for it to stop every step of the way.
They lie.
They say that I'm far right.
They say Ian is far right.
He's moon lord.
It's because we exist outside of their community.
Now, don't get me wrong.
I don't blame them.
But they are a chaotic force that has grown.
within the United States that seeks to upend and defy the United States. They mock our history.
They destroy our statues. They rename our military bases and our streets. They have tried to
kill the president. They have killed our most prominent political leader, young leader in Charlie Kirk.
They shot up a news station because they took their high priest off the air. I don't understand
what else people need to hear. To understand, we are not talking about roommates in a single house.
you are not having a disagreement with your brother anymore.
And I hate to say this because people are going to say it's acceleration or whatever,
but there is a reality here.
There is someone outside of your home banging on the door.
They are saying, I can do what I want to you.
And the question is, are you going to open the door and let them?
Or are you going to ask the police through lawful means, please make this person stop.
That's where we are at right now.
This multicultural democracy seeks to upend and destroy.
We have called the police, Donald Trump, and said, please start arresting these people.
And guess what? Surprise, surprise. The criminals often shoot back.
Yeah. One of the, I just want to, for you young guys, who here remembers when Clinton was inaugurated?
I do. Okay.
Vaguely. I'm 50, so.
I remember watching this in horror, not because he was inaugurated. It was like, okay, here's our new president.
There was an actor who, I forget his name, but he was watching the celebration and the Jets flew over.
The Blue Angels flew over, and this guy was interviewed, and he goes, you know, I looked up in the sky, and I saw those military planes, and I thought, those are our planes now.
Yep.
There it is.
It's like, no, dude, these were always our planes, our military, our police, this is what we're together.
Tree, when her husband was nominated or elected, I forget which one it was.
But it's like, this use of our country is.
excluding half of the basis of communism is we are all in this together until you get it and then
one guy's on the top. That's the same age old crap. Let me ask you guys also remembering the
Iraq war for instance or even the more modern conflicts we've seen against ISIS. How often do we
in this country publicly high profile among all of our political pundits and politicians
lament the extrajudicial killings of people in a foreign land? Abdulraman Alalaki, who I love to bring
was murdered by Barack Obama.
With drones, his administration claimed that they were targeting someone else.
It was an accident that they blew up a civilian restaurant in a country we are not at war with,
killing a 16-year-old American citizen.
No one, at the highest level of government, politics, media at the time cared at all that a child was
murdered by our president. Why is that?
Because it was legal.
Because it was our president.
Because it was us who did it.
And it was legal.
And that's not the issue.
The issue that it was legal, they care that Obama did it.
The Patriot Act of the ADA made it legal, man.
The reason why in this example and why in so many others, those are factors for sure.
The reason is the United States was not aggrieved by this.
We, the United States, can bomb and blow up whoever we want and the bulk of our country will not flinch about it.
Those Venezuelan boats, three of them.
Now, the Democrats are complaining about that because Trump is doing it.
And that explains the difference that we're facing.
It is not us.
us anymore. And that's exactly the point. So I appreciate you bring that up. When Barack Obama
blows up somebody, this country largely just went, I mean, the debate was over the legality
of the killing of Soleimani in terms of will it start a war, not with someone murder without due
process. No one in this country, and I don't mean literally no one. Obviously, libertarians,
anti-war groups, they care about this. At the highest levels of politics, personality, TV, and
government, they don't say, what about a criminal
trial for that ISIS terrorist we just bombed. Because they are not us. Understand that perspective.
Now imagine you are an external force trying to destroy America. Apply that to how Democrats have
been behaving with the assassination of Charlie Kirk cheering it on. And you will understand that same
feeling. It's either indifference or celebration. And you take a look at how the United States
dealt with war over the past 20 years. And for most people, the bombings in Afghanistan,
Iraq or otherwise were indifference or celebration. The killing of Saddam Hussein among
Americans, largely indifference. Then after that, celebration. Take a look at what Democrats did
with Charlie Kirk. At first, celebration. Largely indifference after that saying, well, look, I know
it's wrong, but you know, he deserved it for this reason. Only when pressed and facing a real threat
are they trying to put on a PR face. But with that being said, I do want to pull up this story from
mediite. Charlie Kirk's producer torches, unrepentant liar, Jimmy Kimmel, over his comeback
monologue, my friends. This is actually astounding. Jimmy Kimmel did not apologize. In fact,
I would describe it as tripling or quadrupling down. And the reason why is it's a 28-minute
monologue where he doesn't apologize. He attacks Trump. He insults me. He insults you.
He claims that the only issue, or I should say that he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he,
accentuates a particular issue as if to imply once again.
But the reason he was taken down was because Trump can't take a joke.
The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me
and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs.
Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods
because he can't take a joke.
He was somehow able to squeeze Colbert out of CBS.
Then he turned his sights on me.
And now he's openly rooting for NBC to fire Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers and the hundreds of Americans who work for their shows who don't make millions of dollars.
And I hope that if that happens or if there's even any hint of that happening, you will be 10 times as loud as you were this week.
We have to speak out against him.
He did not apologize.
He could have and it would have been very easy, but he won't.
And the point that I brought up, I brought this up when I was on Jesse just a moment ago, the only thing that we can discern as to why Disney brought him back, the affiliates, even just before we went live, Next Star said, no, we ain't bringing him back.
I couldn't even watch it last night. I was in bed. I pulled up, first I tried YouTube TV. Nope, because Sinclair owns the streaming rights. Just all broadcast and streaming rights are combined. And so I tried all the streaming services. I even tried going to ABC's.
website and it's got a lock symbol on it, it wouldn't let me do it. I had to wait until
someone else watched it and re-uploaded it because it's shut down. Advertisers are still
upset. Sinclair says the temperature's not brought down and now the tensions are inflamed.
So why did ABC bring him back? Well, I said it the other day, I'll say it again. A guy shot
up one of their stations. And so like terrified individuals in the crossfire, they said,
Jimmy, we'll do anything you say. How did Jimmy respond? It's Trump who was coming after me.
Trump did this without an apology.
He didn't, you know, you could have said, and this is what's really terrifying, he could
have simply said, to those who felt I was implying the shooter was a Trump supporter,
I did not mean to do that, and for that, I apologize.
He kind of did.
He didn't say the word, I'm sorry, but people, false profits, they'll use words that,
without the emotion, without the meaning behind it.
You can say, I'm sorry and not mean it.
He cried on camera for like a minute and a half.
I mean, we could play it and let people decide for themselves.
Ian, with all due respect, I hear what you're saying.
Marty, are you married?
Yeah.
Have you ever gotten to an argument with your wife?
No, never.
When you're in an argument with her and she's mad at you for something, you did, and you know you did something wrong.
What do you think would happen if you looked at her and said, I understand?
It depends on...
Everybody listening right now is looking at their wives going like, right.
When you do wrong, and it's not about just your wife, but your husband or you're in an argument with someone, and you know you did wrong, and they're upset at you for it.
And instead of saying, look, I'm sorry.
You just go, I understand why you're mad.
That's similar to saying, I'm sorry you feel that way.
Exactly.
Which has got to be the worst thing you could ever do in an argument.
That's essentially what I think Jimmy Kimmel did last night is he's like, I'm sorry that people feel this way.
But he lied again.
No, he lied.
Because the issue was not Trump being mad.
It was that the affiliates and the advertisers felt the heat from everyone in this country who said,
a man just died.
Can you please not?
And Jimmy said, I'm going to use this to go after Trump and get millions of views.
You know, I think a real apology.
You said words can be facetious, but it's just to be a better person, is to not make the mistake again.
That's a real apology.
They're not capable of that with what they do.
They're not.
He's not capable.
There's too much money to be made in the money.
monologues that covered this. The ratings
that have plummeted on these shows, which of course
are now up again because of
all of this controversy, they have
made their entire market share for these
late night shows about Trump.
We were talking last week, like, what would it be
if these guys just came out and did monologues?
Look, there's news every day that you
can make stuff about. There's actual content
creators who are covering this stuff. Did you see the
horrible joke that Robert De Niro
made about the Tylenol and the autism
that was not, it was just really bad
in this monologue? Well, he does a thing where
Robert De Niro plays the FCC chair, right?
And the problem is, is when you're politically brained and you have a side that you've
picked and you don't have any understanding of how people perceive current events, you can't
be funny, especially when you're running it through 100 writers and has to go through legal
and all these things.
It's the other reason he lied and that you know that it was a lie because it was weasel words
because that what he said last week when he says that they were trying to paint the shooter
as anything other than MAGA, that passed through 100 writers in a legal department before
it came out, and it was phrased in a way
to give them some sort of
plausible deniability. He didn't retract
that statement, which is the only statement that
we were complaining about. Plus, but here's
my other thing is, if Trump is
such an authoritarian, and he doubled, triple,
quadrupled down on being an authoritarian
dictator, Jimmy
would not be back. Yeah. Like,
where's the power? Where's the authoritarian
power? Where's the
rioting on the right when something
bad happens? Where are the people boarding
up their windows of their store?
It's because we don't do that, and Trump is not an authoritarian.
If it was Xi Jinping in China, there'd be a whole different thing happening with Jimmy Kimmel right now.
He would actually understand what he's accusing Trump of being.
My take on this, what happened with Brendan Carr, who's the FCC chair, went on Benny Johnson's show and
mentioned Jimmy by name and then said, we can either do this the easy way or the hard way.
And then the next day, the affiliates pulled.
That felt like a fascist evil act that produced order.
See, this is what the left prays upon, because the actual reporting said advertisers and affiliates.
So the question is, for what pressure did advertisers feel?
The FCC is not going to go to the advertisers.
It was actually backlash from regular people.
It's unfortunate because the FCC became the excuse for the left to turn it into Orange Man Bad once again.
I don't know.
The guy, the FCC head mentioned Jimmy by name, said easy way or hard way, and then the next day he's off the air.
Do you know what percentage?
Do you know what percentage of stations are owned by Next Star and Sinclair?
No.
23%.
So how come the rest of the affiliates didn't budge?
Also, NextRour and Sinclair haven't backtracked?
Why did they bring Jimmy back?
It sounds like Nextar is a minority and that they were the ones that budged.
Let me just ask you again.
You realize these are public airways.
It's like a public part.
That's a whole other discussion.
But, Ian, Ian, if the FCC was the reason why Jimmy was pulled by ABC,
why did they bring him back
with the advertisers on
their position being unchanged?
Well, there's a huge
backlash from the populace.
So which populace?
People screaming about
Jimmy Camel free speech.
So there's, so the popular vote winner, Donald Trump,
who has more than half of the support of this country
or let's just call it 50-50.
So why
would Disney put themselves in a position
where they're not only on the opposite side
of one of half the country,
but also advertisers.
Leave the affiliates aside.
My point is this.
Everyone wants to make it about the FCC.
Conservatives are so easy to trick.
It's laughable.
The FCC, I do think it's fair to say,
played some form of a role here
because that pressure is visible.
But the reporting doesn't show that,
and we'd be speculating to make that assumption.
I do think it's fair to make the assumption.
However, it's logic, right?
But at the end, they brought Jimmy back.
Okay, well, the affiliates haven't changed their positions.
So why bring him back?
The argument is, well, because there was a backlash.
The backlash got him taken off the air in the first place.
So again, what is the unique identifier?
I'm going to go ahead and say the only discernible thing is the terror threats against ABC stations.
And a guy who opened fire on an ABC station.
Yeah, probably part of the guy.
Specifically citing Bob Iger and Dana Walden, who said, according to Wall Street Journal, they feared for the safety of their staff.
So if the affiliates haven't changed their position, how is this an FCC-related issue?
ABC was looking at 23% of their stations, not even the major markets, New York, L.A. and Chicago, unaffected.
So ABC said a minority of our markets are upset.
Let's cancel Jimmy Kimmel altogether.
I don't think the issue...
They didn't.
They just indefinitely suspended his tenure,
which means it could indefinitely means there's no defined date.
It could be one day or it could be a year.
What is the motivating factor?
And I think it was, they said,
you are going to make things worse.
Right now we are looking at a certain amount of affiliates
and advertisers are angry.
You're going to make it worse.
He just did.
He just made it worse.
I don't think this.
anything to do with the FCC?
I take that back.
A little bit.
A little bit.
But with all of the outcry and even Brendan Carr walking his statements back,
what did you say something like I shouldn't have made it seem that way or something like that?
Yeah.
And the other thing that Brennan Carr brought up is that one of the things that they've been
working on is the idea that for a long time now, affiliate stations have felt like they're being
stepped on by these national stations that have all this control over what gets aired
and preempting shows, which used to be something that they could do all the time.
with something that has become less and less common.
So what you're seeing right now is actually rare in current year
because for a long time,
as the national stations like Disney have gotten bigger and bigger,
they exert more control over these stations.
So what Brendan Carr said,
he said, we're giving the power back to these affiliates
to be able to act as they see fit,
act in the service of the people who watch their stations
at the local level, not at the national level.
So one of the things you said is that Disney now can decide their network,
Like what time slot, what show goes on before your show, basically?
And the affiliates have no say over that?
No, the affiliates do have a say over that.
The affiliates have the ability to decide to preempt a show.
If they want to take something off air because they feel that they can put like syndicated programming in there
that will get them better views, right?
They can do that.
But for a long time, Disney has been, well, not just Disney, but any of these national level networks,
use the size of their platform to exert power over them to get them to not do that
because they want to be able to keep their ratings clean.
across the board. They want to be able to show
their ratings for a show like Jimmy Kimmel
in all markets, not just in
one that's missing 23% of its
audience. And that's not for things that have
large scale controversies like this,
but rather removing it for local
events or local news. Yeah, you mentioned
Mark, that this is like
it's supposed to be national airwaves.
It's not supposed to be biased. It's not supposed to be
having things that can... It's supposed to equal
time. The fairness factor, especially when it comes
from anything political. And it's like, that
hasn't been in play for
a long time. It was just sort of an understood thing. But for him to actually outright lie and
paint half the country with this murderous brush. And then he was offered, you know, you can make
it right. You can come back and make a correction and an apology. And he could have. And it could
have been sincere. But he didn't. He could have done that before he was canceled or before he was
indefinitely suspended. And he said absolutely not. I'm not doing it. So it was not about a joke about
Trump. It had nothing to do with Trump. It had to do
with him telling a lie
about half of the country. I don't think it was
a lot. He didn't lie technically. He said
they're trying to say that he wasn't MAGA,
which technically is true. That is
exactly what we're saying. We're saying he's not MAGA, so
they were saying that. Ian, have you ever bought a power balance
bracelet? He already knew he wasn't MAGA. He knew it.
Have you ever bought a balanced bracelet?
Negative. No? I bet I could sell you
all sorts of crystals rock. Hey, man. Deception's not the
same as lying. He deceived people. He didn't lie.
Yes, he did. He didn't lie. Come on.
You know the definition of the world lie. I'm trying to win. I'm trying to
win the culture war. You're supposed to use
semantics. That was a lie.
It was a lie. It was a deception.
Or he was insinuating that maybe he was maga.
What is the line?
Listen, what is the difference? If it doesn't fly with your
girlfriend, it doesn't fly with the public. If you're going to
tell your girlfriend, right, I didn't lie to you, I
deceived you. She's going to be like, BS, you lied. You can't, like,
these semantic, you can't see people all sorts of ways, man.
These semantic arguments don't mean anything to normal people.
I mean something to smart people.
To North, and how many people qualify as smart people?
Didn't we just hear some, Jasmine Crockett say, you can commit a crime that doesn't make you a criminal?
Yes.
Okay, that's insanely stupid.
I agree.
Okay.
So if you deceive someone, it's in the category of lying.
Other way around.
It is a sin.
Lying is in the category of deception.
Deception and lying are, they're in the, you know, whatever you want to call it, they're the same thing.
If you lie, you're deceiving.
If you're deceiving, you're lying.
There's a thing called lying by omission.
And it's just, that's not, it's not lying.
It's a type of deception.
It's by you didn't say.
I don't understand why we're arguing this.
You're not helping anyone understand.
I just don't want to hear my friends say he lied when he didn't.
I don't want to use wrong words right now.
It's super important that we're accurate in our ticket.
He did.
Well, I don't know.
There's no point in like yelling, yes, no, yes, no.
Shall I stay or shall I go?
When people talk about,
like the evils of the media now, they talk about
the tactics they use to deceive
as you say, the American people
which is the idea of, like
if we're talking about a news article, lie
by omission, lie by structure.
So if you want to hide the important
information from somebody in an article,
you put it in the last paragraph because you understand
the average person doesn't make it to read
the definition. There you go. A statement
made with the intent to deceive.
So it's within the realm
of the, you can do other things that can deceive too.
Let me give you an example and you'll understand this.
Everybody will understand this.
My business partner, Mike, great guy.
There was a point where we both would drive to the studio in Chicago every day
and then we would drive home to the suburbs where we lived.
And for some reason we got into this contest of like seeing who could get home first.
So one time I got home, I called him and he wasn't home yet and he was still in the car.
And I said, I beat you home.
And he goes, yeah, but did you have to stop and get gas first?
And I'm like, oh gosh, he's right.
I didn't.
I'm not saying pull it up.
I'm just...
So that was an honest...
That was him deceiving me into thinking
that he had stopped to get gas.
But he was able to say,
you know, I never said I stopped to get gas.
It's still a lie.
Everyone knows at the playground, that's a lie.
It was deception.
He deceived you without telling a lie.
Okay, this is a pointless conversation.
So let's...
I agree.
Why don't we...
Let's jump to this next story.
We got big news from CNBC.
Former FBI director Comey
expected to be indicted soon in Virginia federal court from MSNBC.
Now, there are some qualifications to the story.
They are trying to bring the indictment now because they have six days until the statute
of limitations is up.
Therefore, homie's getting indicted, right?
I mean, I don't see a reality in which they don't pull this off unless somehow a grand
jury doesn't return an indictment, which like literally never happens for the federal
government.
And this is for lying to, lying to Congress, I believe.
deceiving.
Indeed.
You're both correct.
Trump and a social media post on Saturday called Comey, guilty as hell.
MSNBC reporter Ken Delanian in a post on next wrote Wednesday the full extent of the
charges being prepared against Comey is unclear, but the sources believe that if at least one
element of the indictment, if it goes forward, will accuse him of lying to Congress during
his testimony on September 30th, 2020 about whether he authorized a leak of information.
Comey that day, under questioning from Senator Ted Cruz, stood by his prior testimony to the Senate
Judiciary Committee that he did not. I remember this. In fact, I'm pretty sure there's a video
on my channel, YouTube.com slash Timcast, did Comey lie? Where I concluded back then, probably not.
Actually, no, wait, this wasn't 2020. He lied a lot. Holy crap. That video I was talking about,
I think was from 2018. Dang. Okay, well, you know, last week I tweeted at this pace, I expect to see
arrests by next, I predict we'll see arrests by next week. And then this story broke. And there's a
couple other stories about pending indictments as well. To be fair, my prediction is not correct just
yet, but what do you guys think? Can I just ask, who comes up with the statute of limitations?
I kind of feel like some of these things, well, when I get to Congress, I'm going to say, I think we should
extend all the statute of limitations. We don't have enough time to actually figure some of this
stuff out. And then like, oh, no, you know, Biden's son, Hunter, he's, you know, it doesn't matter
what he did because we're past the statute of limitations. I just think it's, I think it's, I think
it's kind of ridiculous. No, no, no, I agree with the statute of limitations. I'm not saying
there shouldn't be. I just think I'd like to extend them. I, it's hard to know the limits are.
The general idea is if the government knows a crime is committed but refuses to prosecute for a certain
amount of time, then they can't come back later and do it. The reason for that is you might
be accused of a crime. And again, accused is not proven. Yeah. And the government then says,
we can charge you whenever we want, so you better do what we say. Statute of limitation stops that.
But here's the issue. The issue is we didn't go after Comey because Biden was in office and you couldn't.
And not only that, I don't think we had the, we couldn't even get the evidence. It's like sometimes, well, and this is why I think it's interesting that murder has no statute of limitations. And that's why you murder and it could come back and get you at any point in your life. So I'm not saying what Comey did is tantamount to murder, but I think it's, if he got a four-year head start because he got Biden into office.
What is the actual charge that they're looking at giving this guy lying to Congress?
Well, that's the one we know of so far, but there may be more.
He did, he seemed like the dirty, I mean, during the Hillary email Clinton, or Hillary email Clinton scandal,
when Hillary Clinton's emails were getting 30,000 emails getting destroyed, you know, which was illegal.
Comey was kind of, I believe, covering that, covering for her in a way.
He's been, he was like the hard arm of the, the FBI director?
Yeah, the FBI director.
Yeah, the FBI.
And like, their job is to lie to the FBI.
American people a lot of times.
And deceive.
Yeah.
And like, that's for national security?
Well, you're right.
It's both.
It's for national security.
And then I don't, what I really, a little bit concerns me is like when the next
administration comes in, and they're like, we got to clean up the mess the last guy's made.
You're like, not every time.
Like sometimes just, I get it.
No, no, you do.
Like, Ian, if you rented a house and the last guy made a mess on the floor with his butt, would
if it was a party?
And it was a really fun party.
You'd still want to clean it up.
And maybe you want to hire someone to do it, but you got to clean up.
So what if you had administration and there was some national security, you have to lie to the people, or you feel like you do, you issue your FBI director, lie to the people, would you then expect he's going to go to prison in four years when you're out of office?
Depends on the lie.
Would you put him in that position knowing that he's going to?
Yes. Really?
So when you're talking about these lies, it's really easy.
I don't play these stupid games where it's like, you know, you can't answer the question.
People are like, well, listen, I don't understand.
No, no, no.
The answer is, should the government lie?
Yeah.
sometimes for some reasons there are reasons why the government lies that's why we have national security
apparatus that's why we have confidentiality that's why we have a classic we have security clearances
sometimes the government has to be like i'm not going to tell you now the lie part of that
it depends on what your limit is but let's say that like someone accidentally sees a piece of
military tech that we need for a national security purpose maybe a cybersecurity thing and then
this person runs out goes to the press and says i saw this guy doing this thing
well if you came out and said it is true he did see me doing this thing well you've exposed
whatever that is at that point you're probably going to want your government to lie about it
and say this is incorrect he was never there and it's silly to think that in fact what he actually
saw was a weather balloon and if congress calls you to testify under oath you're still technically
supposed to lie in certain circumstances i the reality of life is it's we do not live in the
invention of lying with rickie jervase okay
Okay, when your significant other, your wife, your girlfriend says, does this make me look fat?
Well, it depends on the kind of person you are, but most people are going to lie.
And even if they're like, I can't lie, you do look a little fat, you can still do it in a nice way.
But some people might just be like you look great because they want that person to feel good.
We call those little white lies.
In government, it's more challenging because, well, the people have a right to know, right?
Within certain confines, I believe is extremely important that information be available to the public.
I also recognize you need national security
because we go to war sometimes
and could you imagine if the U.S. was like
no matter what we do whenever we do it
we're going to tell the whole world.
Yet we'd be conquered in two seconds.
Yeah, George Washington
was master of deception. Oh bro, could you imagine
if like the founding fathers were like
now before we make any moves
let's hold up gigantic flags and blow our horns
and then send letters to all the enemies
and make sure they all know exactly what our planet.
They cross the Delaware and make sure they wake everybody up
before they start slitting throws, right?
Well, that's only fair.
Yeah.
I think with our constitutional right to protection against search and seizure has been violated with the PRISM network where all of our texts and videos and emails are being reported.
No such network exists.
Prism?
Oh, yeah, exactly.
What about the network that Edward Snowden did not expose?
What about the seizing of property?
That's another, well, that's technically what's happening when they take your text and your voicemails.
I was warned about this.
There's a certain level of conspiracy theory stuff that you guys apparently get into.
Oh, no.
What conspiracy theories?
The government people are able to take your texts and your voicemails.
They used to have to get a warrant for that stuff.
Now they just record it and send it to a database.
Civil asset forfeiture is not, like civil assets forfeiture is not a conspiracy.
I've just making a general.
So Jim Comey testified, not Jim Comey, but James Clapper, it's a Congress.
And he's like, we did not wittingly spy on the American people, blatantly lied.
Because they felt like they were supposed to.
But this PRISM network that they were spying on people with violated our Fourth Amendment.
So, like at what point are these lies actually up?
holding the righteousness of the U.S. Constitution.
No, that's for us to decide as the people.
We can vote on this.
We can get the people than we want.
Certainly what Comey is probably going to be accused of doing is lying for political
reasons, for self-serving political reasons, not for the good of the country.
So, I mean, if that's proven, I think he's in trouble.
Which is, I mean, that's, I think that it's likely that there's just the tip of the iceberg.
Yeah.
You know, I think there's probably going to be indictments for more stuff.
I mean, the insanity of Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia thing, the insanity of that and the blatant lying that went around that.
And it was not in any way.
You cannot talk about that being to save, you know, to protect the American people.
It was a pure, horrible way of disabling the Trump administration and the lies that went around that to try to make the Trump administration have no power.
and it was self-serving
it was self-serving for the Democrats
and all the people who
encouraged that and lied about it
including pencil neck what's his name
Schiff? Yeah, Shifty Schiff
you said it so I don't have to
Well, I'm only saying what Donald Trump said
because he has a pencil neck
his head is too big for his body
Here's my metaphor about what's happening on Earth right now
It doesn't make him a liar but kind of makes me wonder if he's a lie
You guys are in a video game
So I look at the liberal economic order
got built basically to destroy communism
and protect the world, they were going for a domination victory, try to take over the planet.
Then the Soviet Union ended in 89, but the liberal economic order is still in control,
so it's like looking for a nail, it's a hammer. Like, where's my communism? Where's my communism?
And so it's, well, Russia bad guy. So this machine is built to fight Russia. It's been around, but we don't
need it anymore. Now we've made pretty clear like it's a diplomatic victory.
When you say the liberal liberal economic order, that's about more like economics than actually
like trying to keep Russia in check, right?
It was basically to keep the Soviet Union in check.
And that's what NATO and the UN, I mean, the UN was kind of designed to do that.
Not as much as NATO was.
NATO was intentionally designed to keep the Warsaw Pact in check.
But the liberal economic order, that's like, that genuinely is a net benefit for the world.
Yeah.
Keeping bringing countries that had basically had basket case governments and had zero economic,
activity had
massive, massive amounts
of absolute poverty. The liberal
economic order, the proliferation
of capitalist ideas
and free market ideas brought
it essentially
has gotten rid of abject poverty
almost entirely. And there won't be
there will be there
will be only a handful of
on a global scale, a handful of people
that are in in abject poverty
by I think 2030, the
UN and stuff we're saying. So
overall, that has been a massive benefit for the human race.
I think what's happening is the holdovers of that thing are these people, these Comey and the Obama
administration. It's like they're still in that state of like we must destroy Russia, stop,
control the planet by domination, military victory. And after the Middle East wars, it became
apparent to me that we can't. Nuclear threats. We don't have the manpower. And we have to
find another path, which is like the cultural victory or the scientific victory. But that machine
is still in place, and that's what they were doing.
They thought Trump was going to derail it.
Are you talking about NATO?
And he largely is.
I mean, this was really funny is that up until Trump won in 2016, the system was the
Uniparty.
It was one global order.
It was the liberal economic order machine.
And be it McCain or Obama, you got the same system, be it Romney or Obama, you got the
same system.
Trump was not supposed to win and did.
And the liberal economic order fell into chaos and panic.
And now the craziest thing is,
From that point on, conspiracies began to unravel.
The Gulf of Tonkin incident was a conspiracy theory my whole life.
And now it's just historical fact.
All of this insanity is buckling under the failures of the children of the liberal economic order.
These people, I have to imagine the people who started the liberal economic order after World War II,
if they could see how their grandchildren are handling this, they would spit on the floor and say,
but hey, wealth only lasts three generations.
but you know what? I'm sitting here thinking like, man, I don't think we've won just yet, especially with the terror attacks that we've seen.
The left is rearing its ugly head, unwilling to accept defeat. But breaking news, ladies and gentlemen, Alex Jones is back.
He tweeted his new YouTube channel, and I recommend all of you. Go to YouTube.com slash at Alex Jones Live and subscribe. He's only got 797 subscribers.
You're in the early.
Yeah, yeah.
Look at me.
Now you can start messaging him, been a subscriber since 9-0-90s.
I mean, look, you know, this guy, he's got a small channel, but I think he's pretty good.
He's on the way up.
He's on the way up.
Maybe we could bring him on and do a collab, and they'll help boost his subs.
Yes.
This is why I'm here.
I'm the 1,000th subscriber.
I'll remember this day for a long time.
So now Alex Jones tweeted out.
His new channel, I'll say this, I think the reason he's not using his older channels is that they, because of the lawsuit against him.
So he makes a new channel, which is outside of whatever that suit is, perhaps.
I also don't know if YouTube actually unlocked his accounts.
I'm wondering if Alex Jones is basically poking to bear.
Google announced they will no longer take political censorship.
The only reason Alex Jones ever got censored was purely political.
It's purely political.
Now that he's back, the question is, is YouTube going to pull him off or not?
I will also add, I submitted our Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Timcast, IRL episode for review,
and they rejected the appeal.
It appears I've submitted again.
I will not stop.
And my contact at Google, it's been a couple days, hasn't responded yet.
So that, after everything we've seen, I'm not going to stop.
I'm going to keep pressing this.
But this looks like a massive victory.
So were his old channels unbanned or are they still gone?
I don't think so I can't find him.
Because even if they were, it might be beneficial for him to start a new one.
Because like you said, you started a new channel recently and you found a reach again.
Algorithmically, like it still would have been throttled.
I think the big issue is the reason, I don't think they unbanned him.
And I think that there's Info Wars is part of that lawsuit, all of those companies.
So Alex Jones is allowed to have human personal social media.
And that's what he's got right now.
He's going to have a million subs overnight, I swear.
How did your videos do covering the YouTube censorship?
Like on YouTube?
moderate middle of the road dude jim jordan's a hero i know it wasn't just him uncovering this stuff
enforcing it but this this thing this decision by youtube or whoever owns i mean google which is owned by
alphabet that they're like yeah okay gates are open again you should add like everybody should ask
their like liberal aunt be like so about that free speech discussion do you see what was going on over
there at google they won't know anything about it because jimmy kimball didn't talk about it
that would be a good like re-election campaign 28 for the republican party is like really
explain to people how it worked from
2016, 2020 to 2024.
Even that for, like, think about if Jimmy Kimmel
just, like, paid lip service and brought this
up, like, how much, like, goodwill he could
have won. If he didn't want to apologize,
made the most, like, tacit
apology to what he did, but also
brought up the Google censorship of
conservatives. He could have actually made a lot
of inroads with people who
weren't a fan of what he said, but also
are staunchly free speech. Yeah.
He still could. Bro. And Gavin
McAnness was, Gavin McInness was brought back to
X last week.
This is...
Elon Musk's.
He's like, never heard of him.
Like, really?
Did he say that?
Like, he's like, I didn't know.
Like, bro, this is wild.
I can't say much right now.
And if anybody knows, don't say anything.
But Friday's culture war is going to be the most insane thing we ever do.
Ever?
It's just getting started.
It's going to be the craziest thing we've, we've ever done probably.
Yeah, the future is like, the potential of crazy for the future is unperceivable.
Like, I don't even know if you realize how it gets, like, bigger.
beyond sight.
Yeah, it's pretty, it scales exponentially, which is what makes it interesting.
You know, it's crazy that the polarization that we're experiencing, not politically, but emotionally, that Alex Jones is back.
He's at 3,000 subscribers already.
I don't know how long this will last.
Maybe they will take a move against them.
But if they do, it's going to fly in the face of the statement they gave to the Judiciary Committee and Jim Jordan.
Gavin McGinnis being unbanned is massive.
The uncovering of the censorship is absolutely massive.
And while we celebrate this, we also have to contend with the leftist terror attacks against us.
But it's an equal and opposite reaction.
All of these tremendous cultural victories are resulting in a massive backlash in some kind of, I don't know you describe it, but in terms of the scale of victory we have, they are recoiling in a comparable violent fashion.
Yeah.
But that makes it unequal.
They're doing kinetic to us doing ideas.
What I mean is, like, the numerical value of quantifying our victories,
they are reacting in a negative...
To the...
It's an inverse reaction.
Also, looking forward at what's coming,
we've got to remember, a corporation has control of this show,
has a singular corporation called Alphabet can...
We're on different networks, but Alphabet's power right now.
We actually get more views on Rumble.
That's awesome.
Harrison Sour, who did a documentary called Game of Money, focusing on the Federal Reserve, said that, you know, once the culture war sort of simmers and slows, people will remember that central banking is the issue right now.
That us, our country becoming bankrupt is what will cause people to become radicalized.
I don't think that it'll cause people to become radicalized.
I think that people will be radicalized by societal factors, and then they will become very.
violent because of a
collapse of the monetary system. I think like
the wealth gap
right now would be a bigger, like they're not
gonna, like I'm guessing the average person
who's looking at like all the average person who's
angry at the billionaires who
the have-nots who are angry at the haves
they're not really thinking necessarily about central
banking just what the
elites have that they don't.
The people that act out
they don't often have
a deep understanding
of like
Austrian economics. They don't have a deep understanding of why they're actually angry.
Because if you do have a, if you have a real good understanding of the system and the way that it works,
most of the time people say, oh, well, I understand this. I can use this to my advantage.
It's the people that don't understand it, that don't have the ability to take advantage of the
system that we exist in, that get angry and say, the system's unfair, I'm locked out,
so I think it'd be better if we just destroy it and tear it all down.
And those were the Bolsheviks at the end of the Soviet or at the end of the Russian Empire.
They were in a terrible economic situation.
Weimar, Germany, they were completely, and they didn't understand.
They just followed along with their socialist government.
It was like the Nazi, so you got the Nazi party because they didn't understand the economic system.
The Nazis were a reaction to the communists.
And the Nazis weren't extremely far away economically from the communists, right?
They were kind of fighting over the same ground.
It was still authoritarian.
You know, the thing, I'm looking at this, and I, you know, it's, I read, you know, F.A. Hayek and the road to serfdom, and I understand a lot about economics and conservative ideology.
What's slapping me in the face right now is the difference right now is between the two sides is a spiritual difference.
And that's what I saw Charlie Kirk actually emphasize. And turning point literally means, I know I'm changing the subject, but I'm not.
Because what I'm saying is that we can get away from ideas and rational and logic,
and we can argue all sorts of things.
But what I'm actually seeing is a spiritual battle going on in this country, in the world.
And repentance means to turn from the direction you're going in.
You're going in this direction.
Repent means turn around.
We, as humanity, have been traveling away from God, and it's time to turn around and come back to God.
And that's how simple that is.
And what I'm seeing is Gen Z men, especially Gen Z males, actually realizing that they have one choice.
We talked about this before the show, but they're either going to be nihilistic suicidal murderers, murdering suicidal people, or they're going to find something that's actually real.
And the generations ahead of Gen Z's have not been providing these kids.
anything tangible and Charlie was saying there is a tangible thing there is something there for you
and it's called loving God and you start with loving God and everything else will come back to you
and I'm seeing these kids going thank you that's what I need I don't need to read a bunch of
more philosophy books I need some I need something that's spiritual that's actually solid
and to me it's amazing to see I just that this could happen I just want to revival
I need to add this in the context of Alex Jones from the Hollywood reporter.
Jessica Chastain says she does not agree with Apple's decision to postpone the savant.
So if those aren't familiar, one of the stupidest things I've ever seen, they did this show.
I mean, this just shows you how much they're losing.
In the same segment where we say Alex Jones is back, we can also mention this show, the savant, where you want to describe it, Brett?
You're the master of this stuff.
Yeah, there's a Karen, you know, it's a female leftist power fantasy where a woman gets,
on the internet, and she infiltrates far-right extremist chat rooms to expose domestic terrorism.
It's based on like a 2019 article from Cosmopolitan that's based on a real thing.
I doubt it.
No, it is based on a real thing.
What they don't point out is that like, we talked about it today is like the first group infiltrated and exposed was actually like a Muslim terrorist organization, but that's not what this will be.
This will end up being, you know, right-wing.
Yeah, they're semi-canceling it.
And she listed a bunch of, in her very long letter,
she listed a bunch of different recent terror attacks.
To her credit, she didn't just list stuff that happened to left-wing people,
but she did also mention Charlie Kirk and others.
But what she doesn't, she's not willing to admit,
because she says, we need this event,
we need this show right now in this country,
so we can talk about domestic terrorism.
She doesn't point out that the show most likely would not have shown any left-werexed.
domestic terrorism at all. I want to give this his own segment. So I'm going to start from the top
for those that are watching just a segment. It's a story from the Hollywood reporter. Jessica
Chastain says she does not agree with Apple's decision to postpone the savant. The gist of the
show is that, as Brett Desvick of Pop Culture Crisis just described, it is a Lib Fem power
fantasy where a suburban mom goes in the internet and infiltrates far-right chat grooms and then
stops their terror attacks. And as Brett mentioned in her post, disagreeing with the fact
that she's, her show's basically being polled.
Maybe I'll bring it back to Jimmy Kimmel style.
She listed a bunch of attacks, and as I started reading these, I was like, oh boy, let's
debunk this in the best way we can.
She writes, in the last five years since we've been making the show, we've seen an unfortunate
amount of violence in the United States.
The kidnapping attempt on Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Let's pause there.
Now, as most people know, I think, what was it, 80% of the men involved were informants.
And it was a couple of guys who were, I don't want to say necessarily.
entrapped, but basically
entrapped. There was one instance
where the informants drove a guy around
her house, and he was like, what are we doing? And then
they arrested him for it. So let's continue
on. They're like, do it. She then mentions
the January 6th attack on the Capitol, and I will give her that
one 100% not good. And she just described
it as an attack, and I think that's fair.
She didn't say insurrection or anything. People
did storm into the building and smash windows. Notice she didn't
mention all the stuff that happened when Brett Kavanaugh was
being... I got to read. The assassination attempts on
President Trump, agreed, the political assassinations of Democratic reps in Minnesota.
Now, this one really gets me, you know why?
It was Greg Gutfeld, who made a really great point.
The guy who killed these people in Minnesota, he didn't do it for overt political reasons.
Right. He may have been a Trump supporter. He may have not been. He may have been an appointee
of waltz. I will stop.
I will just, indeed, in his car. Now, I will just stop and say this. For the sake of argument,
I will give the left that this guy was a Trump support. Don't care. He was a Trump supporter.
Okay, thank you. He didn't kill these people.
because of political reasons. He knew them. So this appears to be not motivated by the rhetoric of
Republicans. Still bad, must be condemned, but a distinction that I think is warranted. The attack on
Speaker Policy's husband was a crazy guy. Literally, there was nothing political there. No politics.
No politics at all. The assassination of Charlie Kirk agreed. The recent shooting in an ABC
affiliate station in California, yeah, over 300 school shootings across this country. I agree with that one.
These incidents, though far from encompassing the full range of violence witness in the United States,
illustrated a broader mindset that crosses the political spectrum and must be confronted.
I've never shied away from difficult subjects.
And while I wish the show wasn't so relevant, unfortunately it is.
Unfortunately, the show as depicted in the trailer was literally just showing white supremacists.
Please pull, if you can, find the article from Variety asking, it says, like, you should not,
why pulling the savant is like the worst thing you could do right now.
I don't know if that's enough to find it.
postponing is a huge...
Yes. Pull that up and read it.
It's a huge mistake.
Yes. Pull it up and read the opinion.
In a shocking decision, Apple TV is postponed on the premiere of Jessica Chastain drama series of The Svant,
offering another chilling example of how business giants are running scared of the Trump administration
and bowing to pressure before it even exists.
The series had been scheduled to premiere September 26.
If for careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone the savant,
an Apple TV plus spokesperson said in a statement of variety.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to releasing the series in a future date.
Oh, is it okay.
I'm looking for a different one.
Let me see if I can find it.
Well, that does say...
It was, Apple's making a huge mistake.
Okay, scroll down.
Yeah, that was just the intro to the article.
Okay, yeah, you have to read the actual...
Having watched the eight episode series for review,
it's clear the Savandis precisely the type of show America needs right now.
It looks at a sector of mostly white male individuals who believe that America belongs to them.
Filled by hate, bigotries, andophobia and misogyny,
they talk cruelly and candidly online about enacting harm and violence towards individuals
or others who they feel are unworthy of being in their country.
Wow, talk about projection.
So I have a video, I recommend everyone subscribe to YouTube.com slash at Tim Poole, the Tim Poole show YouTube channel. It's a new channel. I did the math. Live, recorded live when I checked you BT and said conservative political violence. It said there's around 320 if you include January 6. I said leftist. 13,709 if you include the George Floyd riots. If you remove January 6th and the George Floyd riots, let's just.
say they cancel each other out. They don't, but let's just say they do. There's around 100
leftist, not even far left, just liberal, Democrat-aligned violence in the past five years
and two from the right. And I will say this, too, with respect for the intelligence of the audience,
there was a right-wing individual who sent a threat over the Jimmy Kimball thing initially.
So this person, I guess, threatened violence against ABC because of what Jimmy Kimball said.
and Bob Iger and Dana Waldner, apparently were concerned about threats stations had received from the right.
And I think that's fair to point out.
There was also an individual who tried burning down some church and was motivated by something.
I don't know exactly the details.
I got no problem pointing that out.
The bigger question as it pertains to all this violence is, should I be, if I was to walk, I'm walking down the street, right?
And I see a pink-haired black-clad individual.
And I look to my right.
and I see a chubby white guy in a maga hat,
which side of the street should I stand on?
It's obvious to literally everybody.
The likelihood that that middle class white Trump guy
is going to do anything to you is slim to none.
And while I think it's fair to point out
that the pink-haired weird on the left
probably won't do anything either,
if we're talking strictly about which is more likely,
we all know it's the left.
So one of the things I noticed after Charlie Kirk's shooting,
and I saw people arguing right away
about the motives of this person
and, you know, his belief system and all of this different stuff.
And I was like, no, we're going to find all that out.
It's all going to come out eventually, and it's going to be fascinating.
We're going to try to figure out about siloing inside this virtual reality
and the world of social media that is consuming a generation of people.
What's more important to me is I'm looking at the people who celebrated Charlie Kirk's death.
And I was seeing people who you'd have thought were normal, quote-unquote,
quote, middle-of-the-road leftists who happen to be doctors and teachers and lawyers and business
people, and they were literally celebrating this horrible act of political violence.
I've never seen anything on the right to compare to that.
I've never seen normal people on the right celebrating something as heinous as what happened
to Charlie Kirk.
So I'm more concerned about, like, where is society now that we, it's okay for people to celebrate?
And we're talking about people in Congress, people think.
on the floor of Congress actually saying that Charlie Kirk deserve this because of his evil
thoughts, that's the part that scares me the most, is not that there's some wackos that are
feeding off each other in their silos on social media and they do horrible things, and they're
probably encouraged by the leftist rhetoric. It's that there's such a huge portion of our society
that can actually celebrate this event
and that's what that freaks me out more than anything
I think that psychosis comes from people talking shit at each other
on the internet and there's no there's no immediate response
like it's not an either or thing there's nothing
there's nothing commensurate on the right
yeah like well I mean let's let's be real you know
that when I saw the George Floyd riots
I thought this is how we're supposed to live
and then when I saw that big prayer vigil I was terrified
because like most Americans prayer is
is the most threatening thing to that.
I think that Marty's point, though, like,
to Marty's point, though, like,
when you hear the things that the left brings up
that they're complaining about,
things like Pelosi or the Minnesota lawmakers that were killed,
they were not specifically, like,
they were not right-wingerers going after people.
And the Pelosi incident is one that I've made
this remark about multiple times.
Like, it's ridiculous for them to say,
oh, this was a political attack.
like the and the right
was celebrating it. No, no one on the right
celebrated it. Nobody. Right. Laughed
about the circumstances, yes, because it was
ridiculous. They're both in their underwear
right, and one guy attacked
Speaker Pelosi's husband.
And that's bad. But nobody
was saying, this is
good. I'm glad that they did
and he deserved it.
He was a bad person and we need
to see more of that or there's more people
that should be on the list. And that is what
the biggest problem was. Like it's horrifying
that Charlie got murdered.
But the context is greater than just Charlie's murder
because the left celebrated in a gleeful and joyous way
and then they called for more and listed off the people
that they thought needed to be killed.
Here's the thing.
I'm small petition.
The right never did.
I'm out in Nevada and I had just talked to T.P. USA
and passed their test.
and then TPUSA at University of Nevada, Las Vegas
was part of a group of young people
who wanted me to come and speak to them.
Charlie Crick gets assassinated
and then the next Monday,
I'm supposed to go to UNLV and speak to this group.
And I had a fleeting thought,
like I wonder if I should do this.
Is this a safe thing to do?
And of course, the very next thought is
I can't possibly let these people win.
I can't live in fear.
None of us should live in fear.
but it's just insane to me
that that's the kind of thing
that these people want us to do
by celebrating
it makes all of us think twice
you know Tim I'm sure you're
you get all sorts of horrible
threats all the time
you're look them up on blue sky
yeah and so like you're not
going to go probably
I'm going to go do an outdoor convention
on Saturday for fun
we canceled our
Alex Stein and I had a college event
scheduled for two weeks it's canceled
we can't we can't get the security for
It's just, that is such a sad, sad thing.
For as long as I've worked at this company, there have been swattings and incidents, and after what happened to Charlie Kirk, I was on my honeymoon, and my wife literally said, this is the first time that I've thought, maybe I don't want you working in this industry.
Was it, was it, were you outside?
Yeah, the first time.
When they pointed the guns at you?
Yeah, me and Andy.
Was that a swatting?
So, yeah, the very first time that there was a swatting, me and Andy were walking in from one of the other buildings.
and cops were like skating right yeah we were out skating and they we were coming back and the cops literally
were like hands up walk backwards towards us yeah well you had skateboards i mean that makes
no rollerblades even worse the point being your blades on your feet the point being that it's like
roll backwards we work at like a media company and we have to worry about these types of things
from the left like and i and i don't even want to talk about this with my family like i i don't want to
I don't want to scare my family or my parents or anything like that.
You know what I think is why we see what you think on the left is where this kind of psychosis of
like violence when on the people on the right on the right aren't.
I think that people that have sort of been broken or that have are at a level of intellect
where they're easily manipulated by media are drawn to group think.
And that is like communism,
collectivism.
And so they find themselves identifying with like,
what do we think everyone on the internet?
They'll type stuff like that.
And people that are resistant to it are more drawn to, you know, individualism and owning your property and protecting yourself.
And so they gravitate in another direction.
I'm telling you guys, let's open our eyes.
Godless communism.
That is like a funny thing to say.
It's like an old, it's an old-fashioned conservative boomer thing to say, but it's actually true.
Yeah.
You know, Marx and Lenin and the progressives all the way through, you know, all the way up to Durada and the philosophers of the French.
and the deconstructionists,
they want God gone.
And it goes all the way back to, you know,
romantic poets and philosophy,
and it's a rebellion against God.
And when you eliminate God,
you're open to this.
And that's where the psychosis and the evil comes from.
I think the antidote is virtue.
Charlie was like, talked about Erica when he met Erica,
and he said she's Christ-like.
And I'm like, okay, that's our job as Christians.
Or just to live in a good way,
you want to be Christ-like. You don't want to be Christ because that adjective is to explain the
anointed one by God Jesus of Nazareth, but you can be like Christ. And if you embody the sin
opposite the virtue of the seven virtues of Catholicism, chastity, diligence, you have temperance,
charity, patience, humility, and kindness, kindness. And those seven things are so important
to embody. If you embody the synopsis, you become anti-Christ. And that's what, if someone's
super famous and well-loved, starts to embody sin.
People might erroneous to say he is the anti-Christ.
He's just antichrist in that moment.
They can still redeem themselves.
That sounds like all of the left.
Like when you described those things, those seven things, the inverse of that, it's like
the left is what?
They're arrogant, arrogant, prideful, wrathful, lazy, envious.
Yes.
Seven deadly sins, yeah.
I mean, it's always cracked me up that there's Pride Week or now Pride Month.
And it's like, what's Sloth Month?
Yeah, it's one of the seven deadly sins.
Like, you could have come up with a better.
This reminds me of when the company that took Halo over decided to name their company after one of our main villains.
343 Guilty Spark was a villain.
And then 343 guilty industries made Halo.
They love the left loves the villains.
It's important.
We can all become anti-Christ.
We can all become Antichrist.
So it's important to stay virtuous because, like, when Trump said, I hate my opponent, he was embodying wrath, which is anti-Christ.
and if you don't check him on that
and let him go down that road
it can become... He has to be checked.
That's what I loved about it. He was asking,
you can please try to redeem me. I think I'm making
a mistake here. And he had a somewhat smile
on his face. Trump's being Trump.
And he wants to be redeemed. He's
asking for help. That's why is it?

You guys need to make sure you are making
these decisions for yourself and based on the advice from these individuals what you think
works. I will also just add on top of this. I am very, very happy personally that I bought
Bitcoin 10 years ago. I'm happy I bought it like six months ago. That's true. That's true.
But in all seriousness, we like the black trust guys and everything. Just make sure you're
doing your due diligence. It's your money. Make sure you're taking care of yourself. It's going
to come down to your responsibility. I bought Apple in 1998. That's all I'm saying.
Nice job.
You know, my first Bitcoin was at 70 cents.
And then I sold it at five bucks dancing, like, let's go.
And then I had 20 Bitcoin when it was at 20 bucks.
And I sold it and I was like, let's go.
It spiked at 20 bucks.
And I was like, guys, I got 400 bucks.
Let's go.
I'm taking out to dinner.
Yeah.
There's no way anyone would have expected 100 grand per Bitcoin.
Listen, I was on these forums.
I was hanging out with these people back in 2011 when Bitcoin hit like 70 cents.
I went to a dollar or whatever.
I had been using this.
No one thought, we were all like, wow, it's at 20 bucks.
What do you think?
So when it went up to, when it crashed down to a thousand, I was like, I'm done.
And I bought a bunch.
When it was, anyway.
80,000?
I was like, it's so much.
What's the, I'll buy.
And then it went up by 50% to 120,000.
I bought it at 30,000.
It was like 27.
And I was like, I'm just going to buy some more.
And remember Max, guys would be like, like, Bitcoin's going to go to a million.
And everyone's like, uh, oh, that's, so Alex Jones has the story where Max offered him
10,000 Bitcoin. And Alex was like, I don't know where I don't care. And then my story is comparable
because, you know, back of the day, like Max is in El Salvador now, but shout out to Max Kaiser
and Stacey Herbert. I see them much more periodically. And Max was like, Tim, I'm telling you,
just buy a bunch of Bitcoin right now. And you hang out with us and you're going to be rich.
And I was like, okay, Max, I get it. And then I didn't.
Some people, crypto people will be like, talk about other cryptos. There's other cryptos
that are better. But Bitcoin's like the VHS. You know, there might be a beta max that's a better
piece attack out there, but everyone knows Bitcoin.
Let's read some chats. We got Liberty Denny says in California, the first ice agent
is doxed, and them or their family
is harmed. Everyone who signed SB 627 should be charged and
accessory and imprisoned for enabling it. Laws have consequences.
Jolly, 1976, says, I'm a Flintstones kid.
Yay!
And growing.
I know. That was my daughter singing that. I wrote it,
as you know. You wrote that?
Oh, come on, Tim. Hey, do some research, buddy.
I mean, I didn't know about the Flintstones thing.
Wow.
Yeah.
We are Flintstones kids?
That's what, yeah.
I wrote that in the car.
I wasn't alive.
I know.
You have grown.
So you're,
did you ever take a Flintstones vitamin?
Of course.
Okay.
We always love the meat.
And the kids wanted to eat more than you're allowed to eat.
They were yummy.
That was why all the memes were like, why I haven't gotten COVID-19 yet.
And it was Flintstones.
Is your daughter still a musician?
Because she's a great singer.
She is a good singer.
But no, she's a wonderful.
She's got a 5-0-1-C3 nonprofit.
that helps a foster kinship care, it's called.
It's foster kids, and she's serviced over 30,000 kids in Nevada alone.
But she was five when she sang and growing.
Wow.
And she's saying, we use that clip of her singing and growing on many, many commercials.
And it put her through college, by the way.
Would you, I don't know if this is rude or anything,
but would you be able to play something on our electric piano?
Possibly, yeah, I can probably try it.
We'll have that for the uncensored portion of the show.
All right.
I don't know if it's hooked up or what we need to do to make it.
work or whatever. But, you know, we'll figure it out. All right, Skyline says,
youth not taught values by parents are like empty, clear glass, easy for communists to fill
with any colored propaganda and turn into killers. Parents must pass on values into kids.
Government won't. This is the thing about Catholicism that I love. I've spoken a lot of crap
about Catholicism. I have issues with authority controlling religion, but that they forced people
to repeat the virtues. This is a huge part of Catholicism. You remember what are the seven
virtues. It's an integral. And now we have a free speech society. We don't compel speech.
And because of that, you see it as kind of drifted from remembering what these virtues are.
So it's important that we do it of our own free will so that we don't have some authority come in and try and force it.
Indeed.
Let's see what else we got.
Let's see.
What is it?
Unit, unit glue says, I'm wondering how much holy water can fix right now.
Watch the interviews with the exorcist that assisted with the movie Nefarious.
They speak very openly about how much the demonic loves technology.
So we did a whole episode
on the Culture War podcast Friday morning
last Friday about exorcisms
and I asked Father Aaron
what do you think
a leftist would do if you tried to forcefully
exercise them?
Can you imagine how they'd act?
It would look like the exorcist.
Now here's the funny thing about it.
Lots of squirming and screaming and
right. Like imagine if there was some leftists
outside and a priest walked up
and started saying the power of Christ compels you
or whatever they say. They'd be going
fuck you
now hold on
imagine what would happen
if a Christian conservative
was walking down the street
and a priest tried to forcefully exercise him
yeah
they'd be like
thank you father
it's kind of crazy
it's funny right
let's be father
yeah he'd say like
thank you father
like it would just be a calm
and okay
I gotta be honest man
I think some people are possessed
because
think about a normie
normally I'd be like
what are you doing
they wouldn't freak out
like leftists would
like these people at these rallies who like
I don't even want to begin to describe what some of these people are like
you've seen the videos
makes you more like them when you get in their headspace like that
yeah that's why empathy is bad
sympathy is better
I agree with Charlie when you hear the full explanation of that
empathy is actually feeling the feeling somebody else has
and it's not necessarily a healthy place to be
you don't want to actually feel those feelings
you want to have sympathy
for someone who's going through pain
you don't want to necessarily feel exactly what they're feeling
because it could be pretty bad.
And demonic.
Shane H. Wilder says,
Ian is right.
Forgiveness does not equate
justice being served,
nor does it equate reconciliation.
The original Hebrew is not
thou shalt not kill.
It is thou shalt not murder.
Right.
Yeah, this is a really important distinction
because Erica Kirk says
she forgives the killer
and there are a bunch of like,
I don't know, moderate lib types
that were saying like,
what does it even mean?
Like, you don't want him to go to jail
or something like that?
And it's just like, no,
she's saying she won't hold the hate
in her heart.
she won't let it weigh her down
I think she certainly expects the death penalty
someone had mentioned in a chat that maybe Charlie would have wanted
this guy that's killed him to
if he could be involved to have multiple life sentences
so that he can actually repent
I mean
I think the general view among most of the Christians is
there must be some sort of penance
and we must protect society
but it is preferable if you
seek what's the right we describe this I guess
absolution you know like come to terms with what you've done
ask for forgiveness and forgiveness doesn't mean you get to walk free
and not face the penalty for what you've done
maybe I think the general idea is that it's when you ask for forgiveness
it is just about releasing that that pain from within
for both parties if you truly mean it but you're going to go to jail
in this instance I think Utah wants the death penalty
so all right what do we got
Kisham says Kimmel's saying if Trump shuts down other shows he hopes his viewers to respond tenfold
does that include terror threats that's literally what happened I don't know how you take it any
other way guys yeah when Jimmy Kimmel when a viewer shoots up an ABC station and he says thank you
maybe Jimmy Kimmel should have come on the air and says did you hear this guy shut up a station
I mean this is insane guys stop what are you doing no he said do more
I don't think people recognize where we are.
No, no, I take that back.
I think they get it.
I think at this point, people are really starting to get it.
And it's terrifying.
All right.
Pinochet says Ian doesn't acknowledge that the communist hunters have turned into
global homo communist demanders.
What do you mean?
Who's that?
Is it talking about the liberal economic order?
Oh, right, right, right.
Social technocrats.
They're demanding everyone to be a.
Yeah.
Yeah. There's a lot of that kind of stuff around here.
He's saying that the global economic order used to be about vaguely right-leaning things,
and now it's very much about global homogenation.
And stamping out populism.
Yeah, exactly.
All right. Let's see what else we get.
I think we got one more ran here.
Briflex says Sinclair and next our percentage of majority Trump versus Kamala in 2024, using the location
of ABC affiliates, Trump County
Cities, 24, Harris 16, not that
lopsided.
What else have we?
All right, let's see what we got here.
Secession now says another show Tim
bitching about Civil War, I think I will skip it tonight.
I guess you don't want to pay attention to the news
because we had a terror attack this morning on an ice facility
and there have been four
ice. I don't think I said Civil War tonight. There's been four
ice attacks in the past.
There's been four ice attacks on ice
facilities in the past two weeks.
the idea that we shouldn't cover this or discuss this
is just ridiculous. He can go and watch
something on video games or other topics
but if you are covering the news
you are covering these things, period.
So you should just come watch Pop Culture Crisis
where we'll make fun of the savant and talk about
the deranged leftist female power fantasies instead.
And if you're playing Halo while Marty's talking,
you're listening to the guy that made the music.
That's right.
The game you're playing as you're playing it.
Kai says Marty, thank you for making
music for my favorite game.
Also, damn you for taking part in making the horror.
Who at Bungee thought it was a good idea to add zombies to a space game with RPGs?
With RPGs.
Well, yeah, that was, I have to, the, when rocket launchers were in the hands of, they weren't zombies.
They were too fast for zombies.
They were the flood, and that was me.
So, yeah, that was a little bit scary when all of a sudden you ran into, in the library and the flood had rocket launchers.
And the first time you...
It was unfair.
The first time that you run into the flood,
like the first encounter...
It actually was pretty scary as far as, like, video games go.
You know, it was really cool.
It was...
I had to scare the kids.
You have them more weapons and bigger.
Well, yes, you went further.
Suddenly, they had the ultimate weapon,
and you're like, you came around a corner
and got a face full of rocket.
And you're like, who shot that?
The flood is shooting rockets now?
It was a little bit.
Did you also do all the Destiny,
original Destiny stuff?
I did music for Destiny.
And what all the actors,
including Peter Dinklage,
But I don't understand how they, like, the original destiny story was just hodgepodge nonsense, and everybody knew.
We loved the game anyway.
You realize I got fired just before it came out.
Well, I don't know.
Why?
Is it because you wanted to fix it?
Yes.
It actually was.
I'm working on a book, believe it or not, and it will tell my story of my time at Bungy and in video games.
But, yeah, there was some discursions and disagreements.
about how that whole thing was handled.
And the story was trashed.
The original story that we had been working on got trashed,
and then they were going to try to fix it at the last minute.
And it was like, that was impossible.
It's going to be junk.
It's going to be garbage.
I mean, it largely was with the gameplay.
Gameplay was good.
Yeah.
But, man, this is, this is what, 2014?
Exactly, 2014.
Because me and my buddies were played this nonstop.
Back when you could actually farm the glitch.
When you farmed, shot into the cave.
That's right.
Yeah, they took it away from us, and it's like, why?
And they're like, because you're not playing the game we want.
And, well, I guess the general idea is you level up too quickly, it ruins the gameplay and things like that.
It shouldn't have been.
It was a, the way the game that I was going to work on was going to be Halo meets World Warcraft, and I thought that would be pretty cool.
Wow.
But I don't think that's what we ended up doing, and I wasn't happy.
And the story got junked.
Did you play it pretty extensively?
I'd imagine you did.
Only when I was working on it.
I didn't play what was shipped.
Because, you know, one of the things I really loved about the original World of Warcraft and the original destiny was in World of Warcraft, we call it glitch hopping.
Yeah.
You could exploit map terrain and go on unexplored areas.
And then you could learn about upcoming expansions.
And in Destiny, you could do it with a sparrow.
You could go up to a wall and then you could click through, yeah, click through the wall or whatever.
And then we found areas that weren't previously released and they took it all the way from us.
And it's like, then the game becomes really boring.
The one thing I will say about Destiny is it probably has one of the worst.
I've ever seen for any game ever from start to finish.
Every expansion has just been the most absurd, stupid, poorly written garbage.
I'm sorry if that's offensive to you.
I don't know, maybe it's not.
To me, I wasn't there, so I was not happy with it.
I can't remember the last one I played.
I think it was when you unlocked the darkness or whatever,
and I was just like, they have no idea what they're doing.
The story is just such cockamamie BS, and it really ruined it for me.
What was the destiny of the story?
Nothing.
Yeah.
I mean, the original traveler was completely different.
The original ghost was completely different.
Even the gameplay was going to be different than one ended up happening.
And, like, for example, all the AI companions were going to go on missions with you,
and you wouldn't have just one ghost that was just spewing mindless.
Are you allowed to give us the story?
I've already been sued and countersued and been countersued and found a contempt that that's all behind me now.
I'm past all of it.
So you can't?
I can.
Oh, okay.
So could you elevator pitch
what the original story
was supposed to be?
Wow.
That would be a hard elevator pitch,
but it was, like I said,
it was going to be,
Destiny was going to be
World Warcraft and Halo come together.
So the story would evolve
as you're playing with your friends.
So, for example,
The Crow was a character
who ended up being someone
who was like going to be this cool
mercenary kind of outlaw.
You didn't know if you could trust him
and he was going to go on missions
with you and you'd find
loot and you find stuff and you uncover the
outer belt that had
his sister was ruling it
and it was just going to be all sorts of cool things like that
you know the story
changed so drastically we got rid of entire
characters like Rasputin and some other things
well these still in it sort of
no but I mean the names are there but it's not
the story we have I think one of the worst
things about it was they I don't
think the people at Bungee understood that I wanted
to see humanities I wanted to see
victory yeah and so all they kept
giving us was defeat.
And so this is why I basically stopped playing,
because every expansion was basically like,
humans lose again, and I'm like, stop, stop losing.
I wanted to come back to the game.
I wanted the expansion to be like, there's a new city.
And then it's like humanity is reviving,
and you're reclaiming planets.
Instead, it's just like, no, you're losing.
You're losers.
I think Battlestar Galactica pulled that off in the storyline.
I don't know if you're familiar with a Brett,
fascinating storyline, because they're running from these robot
AI creatures that are destroyed.
And, of course, the problem of that is everybody turned out to be a
robot. I mean, is she robot?
No, wait, they're all robots. By the end,
it was like, I swear everybody started strong and there was just them
losing over and over again.
But yeah, Destiny had a very
complex story, and by the time I saw the
rewritten script, and I had to work on some of that
script because I was sort of biting
my time before I got fired.
I had put in my, you know, I
object, and nobody cared.
Was the line
I don't have time to explain why
I don't have time.
I was going to ask why?
I recorded that line and I was like, I remember sitting at a table read,
actually being the guy reading that line, and I just looked around.
I was going to ask you, what was the reason the stranger didn't have time to explain why she didn't have time?
It was because the writer didn't know what to say.
We had no answer to anything.
Wouldn't you get a 15-year-old kid and be like, draw picture and we'll make that the reason?
Yes, that could have happened.
That's sort of what I was suggesting, at least.
Look, I think they made money off the game.
And so, you know, there you go.
And I made money when Sony bought Bungy because I sued for my founder's stock.
Oh, all right.
I had to give me my founder's stock.
And then I waited until Sony bought them.
And then I was like, all right.
You know, I do.
I think the gameplay was largely good.
I think it's broken at a certain point.
But Destiny and Destiny 2, me and my friends played nonstop.
I think my buddy still play it all the time, actually.
I don't even know where I want.
Did you play like any of the ratings?
Oh, all of them do.
I remember the guy who designed the raids,
he said, Marty, the thing you want to have,
Destiny B, it's not the game, but it is in the raids.
And I'm like, sorry, Luke, that was Luke Smith.
The glass, what was it called?
Yeah, the first one was a glass.
Vault of glass, dude.
And then we would push, what's the, what's the,
we'd push him off the edge.
We would, we would.
The big round thing?
No, no, the giant vex.
Oh, oh, oh.
The original cheese was that you'd force him to walk off the edge
and kill himself and instantly win.
man that was so much fun yeah vault of glass the vex i forgot the the guy's name i'm sure people
in the chat are going to remember and then uh oh dude um who was the uh the son of man it's been so
long when you the other raid the expansion into the dark or whatever was orix by that fine was it
no no no no no no no orcs was the big guy okay right who is who is there a chained up guy is that
what you're talking about like when it was no see i i i never played the final shipping versions
of the game so i don't know man i still play i still play
a little bit of Destiny 2, yeah.
It's not so great.
It's not so great now.
The most recent expansion is...
Crota.
That's what I heard. Crota. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Croto, right. Yeah, I remember.
Oh, man.
Crota the son of Orix.
Have they successfully made a game that would be a cross between Halo and...
I don't think anybody has, no.
And it might be the problem.
It might be a heart.
Part of the reason why I started playing Destiny was because the actual gunplay
was so similar to Halo.
Well, the gunplay was, but the...
What we could do with scripting
events inside the game so you could have a sense of flow and progression and victory.
And even, I can tell you, one of the things I remember when this decision was made,
it was like, well, you know, not everybody can be a hero.
And I'm like, but if you're playing a game, you want to be a hero.
That's the point of playing video games.
Was it to make people be bad or something?
No, it was just like, this is what's going to cause you to want to play with your friends
and join up with other people in the universe.
We had no control over what we used to call the AI.
So the characters that are AI characters that play along with you,
we had no way to control them inside the game.
Yeah.
We couldn't script things.
And so I said, where are the friendly Marines?
Where's the friendly AI?
Where's the people who are going along with you?
That's part of what Halo is.
You can't get rid of that.
And they're like, well, we have to for these technical reasons.
And I'm like, okay, well, we need technical reasons.
that brings that back because we're going to lose something really important to the way the gamers feel about who they are in the game and how they're respected.
And it's like, oh, yeah, other players that you meet along the way are going to give you that.
I'm like, no, they're not.
They're just, there are other slubs out in the world.
Ball 76 tried that.
Yeah, it doesn't work.
I will say this, vault of glass, they've never lived up to it.
And presumably because it was the first raid, it was the in-game.
And so the complexity, the puzzles, the gameplay.
They were able to do it only in the raids
could they do the scripting that was similar
to Halo and that's what Luke told me. He says
don't worry Marty, we're doing it in the raid and I'm like
Luke that's not the game. That's a little bonus
extra part of the game. Because the raids take six people
and not everybody, not everybody's really
that social. Some people just want to do stuff
like the dungeons you can get away
with doing solo, right? But the
raids and stuff like that which is
you know. You play World of Warcraft?
I played a little bit but not much.
I played it
When it first came out, back in Vanilla, Level 60, Tier 2 PVP Rogue, all that good stuff.
Okay.
That was a destroyer, field martial gear, all that good stuff.
That means, obviously, that's the best.
I didn't have grand marshaling on top then.
But you still felt like a hero.
I get it.
No, I just, it was really difficult to get that gear at the time.
Alteric Valley was the best.
Yeah, it is.
And, but I can tell you where they broke the game.
And it started to come around, in the vanilla game, you had to make friends.
You had no choice.
and those friends attached you to the game.
So we had, I think we had team speak at the time.
That's what we used.
Man, this is, what is this, 20 years ago?
And so I'm running around, and I'm like, level 30 something rogue.
I got no idea what's going on.
And then someone comes up and they're like, are you in a guild yet?
And I'm like, I don't know, I'm trying to do, what's that?
Play Hager?
No, that's like level 10, right?
Level 30 was, what was it?
It's the, the, no, you're talking about, like, dark mall.
What is it?
Um, no, it's the, it's the red area and the, it's been so long since I played Vinod's.
Adlands.
It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a level 30 dungeon, uh, instance.
And so anyway, with all those ogres, those big ogres?
The, the trugs.
Okay.
Or whatever. But anyway, uh, so I, I end up joining a guild and then they're like, here's our,
our server for, for team speaker, whatever.
Then I joined and they're like, hey, what's up, man?
Welcome to the guild.
And I was like, hey, how's it going?
And they're like, hey, you know, my name's so and so, like, here's what we're doing.
let us know if you ever need any help or any materials or whatever like let us know
and then I'm like cool and then all of a sudden I was going online and it was like a friend's list
again like when I was a kid on AIM yeah they got rid of that for the auto raid function now I mean
the last time I played I think was Legion or something no no it was it was shadow Shadowlands is that
what it's called it's been so long but you go in and you click I want to go on a raid and you click it
and then it just randomly pairs you with 40 people that you don't know they're stupid easy
and boring and I was like this game sucks
Yeah, man. You used to have to find a warlock and befriend him so that he could teleport you to the dungeon to go play with friends.
And now you just click a button. I don't know. It's like this age of...
Alderman. That's what I was trying to think of. Alderman.
All right. Let's grab... I'll grab one more here. Because everyone's like, read more superchats. And I'm like, bro, I'm getting lost in old video games, man. Sorry.
Simon Keyes. As many of us said this is going to take a war to stop the existential threat to the people of our once free republic. Tim and friends, now we get to see if we can navigate and survive a fully mature communist rebellion.
I think we're winning. I think we will win. But the night is always darkest before the dawn.
And so we can see these terror attacks are the recoiling temper tantrum of violent psychopaths who can't accept that they've lost.
And we have the weight of government behind us to stop these criminals, as we should, and these terrorists, and we are going to restore peace to the republic.
That being said, smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know.
