Civil War! I'm just kidding. Somebody chatted, they were like, how long until Tim starts saying Civil War? And so Adam was like, just say it, make it the first thing you say. And I was like, all right. Way to out me there, dude.

Totally. It was Adam's idea. Don't blame me. He's the one who said it. I want to just, uh. Yeah, I don't believe it. I don't believe that Civil War is happening. Do you have that little art of the creepy but amazing?

I can go get it. It's upstairs. Do you feel like you want to do it? Oh, you don't have to. I'll snag it later when I go get my whiskey. So we got set this just really amazing art. Check that out. It's like a little me holding like you want to? Oh, you don't have to. I'll snag it later when I go get my whiskey. So we got set. This is really amazing art. Check that out. It's like a little me holding a star and a garter, and I'm on a skateboard.

Oh, yeah. That's really, really cool. How's it going, everybody? Welcome to the show. Smash that like button. Adam's got a soundboard now. We only have three sounds so far. Yeah, I don't feel.

Those aren't my sounds, so. We got to be. Yeah, we got to be. I want my own sounds. We do have to be careful moving forward, too, because we don't want to be one of those, you aren't my sounds, so. We got to be, yeah, we got to be. I want my own sounds. We do have to be careful moving forward, too, because we don't want to be one of those, you know, soundboard nonstop. There'll be funny moments. No, I mean, it's all about, comedy is timing. You don't have good timing, and you're just uncomfortable.

So, yeah, I'm all about my timing, you know. I'm working on it. That's why I want my own soundboard because you know i got i got my own timing going on you made a list of the sounds you wanted to right i have i have many good sounds i want we need some we need some good i got some help from you guys actually a lot of people hit me up with some really good ideas on twitter so it's good it's gonna be good excellent yeah and it's getting crazy out there uh a federal judge has denied that lawsuit from i guess it was a lawsuit they filed suit the attorney general in oregon was trying to sue to shut down the federal operation

in portland and surprise surprise what do you think a federal judge said get out of my courtroom well i don't know about that but they're like no that's my guess i'll take it i'd be willing to bet the federal judge was like let's see here You're trying to tell the federal government to stop protecting the courthouse for which I am a judge. Were they in that courthouse too? Okay, okay, hold on. This is what's funny about it. Okay, so these Antifa people are trying to – they've breached this courthouse a couple times. They're trying to – they're setting fires in front of the federal courthouse.

And so the AG has filed a lawsuit in federal court. I don't know if it was that specific court asking the judge to stop, to have federal law enforcement stop protecting a federal courthouse. This is the most insane thing I've ever heard. It is entertaining

to think that that was the courthouse they're in. They're like in the courthouse like, they should leave so we can burn this place down. Yeah. Your Honor, we'd like to ask you to stop protecting this building. And they're like, no, we're not going to do that. I work here. Have a nice day. But it was all

remote, so it wasn't at the courthouse. But I can't believe that this is where we've come to. And now, you know what, man? There's an article out from vox oh man which is very much akin to what we talked about yesterday with this bloomberg article that was like just the first sentence took us five minutes to get through to break down how how much of a lie it was yeah this is this is the echo chamber of they they read that article

and they're like oh we can we can do can do better. Crack their knuckles. Started typing up. Mm hmm. That's the impression I got. And this this article from Vox is if it's as if somebody literally walked into the Vox office and said, I need you to just make everything up like, I don't know, throw in some aliens and like maybe Godzilla and then claim Trump is actually a cyborg. Just full on psychotic. I have never seen fake news this bad. We are in the realm where media is literally writing fiction.

Yep. I'm not kidding. They're storytellers. I've been working in this industry now for about 10 years. It's crazy to think that because I was just some dude walking around pointing my phone at stuff. And now here we are. I worked in some of these newsrooms and I've seen some pretty awful reporting, but I've seen some really good reporting. Okay. Over time, it's been getting worse and worse. And now I don't necessarily think that some of these people know how bad they are. I do think many of them are useful idiots for political parties

who, you know, look, as far as I'm concerned, the point I'm trying to make is journalism today has become an arm of the political parties. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Mostly mainstream, high-profile, venture capital-funded stuff. Not necessarily even the Republican stuff because there are conservative outlets

that are like never-Trump conservative outlets and there's not that many conservative outlets relative to establishment, venture capital-funded funded major network brand, all that stuff. They literally make stuff up. This is the craziest thing in this Vox article. They straight up say essentially that state law enforcement has never anywhere other than Northern Ireland and forced crowd control. That's ridiculous. I'm like, what? State security forces go around all over the world for hundreds of, like, all of human history enforcing the law against people.

This is the craziest thing. I have an article. State police said they would assist local police in riot control during the riots last month. And Vox is like, it's never happened before that state security would do something like this. I'm like, that is the most insane thing. This guy must have just, I am at, look, it's Vox. So maybe this guy used to write about Brad Pitt's junk. I guess that's the trope now. Any nonsensical news is like celebrity gossip. Yeah. And they're probably like, Hey, you want to write about this? I don't know anything about it, but sure. I'll just make it up. And then they make it up.

And this is where we are. So we got some other news, too. We got some other crazy stories. There's a militia called, I can't say their name because it's a swear, but it's the NFAC Coalition. And apparently they're going to be at some event where there's going to be three percenters. And this is the militia. I believe it's all black.

I'm pretty sure it is. And they were on this video. There was this video a while ago from Georgia where the dude says something like the Boogaloos and these other militias like where the F you at, basically calling them out. Well, now apparently they're both going to show up at the same place.

So I can only imagine this will be really interesting. I'm pretty sure this militia, the NFAC, they're like black Hebrew Israelites. Okay. imagine this will be really interesting i'm pretty sure this this this militia the nfa uh the nfac they're like black hebrew israelites okay so they're like the stuff that nick cannon was saying yeah the anti-semitic stuff the the anti-white stuff that's the kind of stuff that they've been you know like they've been sharing and it's it's it's getting more and more prominent and then uh we got some really crazy news too and i i i almost i i gotta be honest i feel bad we're not leading with the

China stuff. Yeah, me too. Because it's pretty important. It was a toss up to be fair because we've got just unrest and civil chaos in our own country. But then we have this one story that I didn't think, I think in the grand scheme of things, the story about China is serious. The feds went into the Chinese consulate and arrested a fugitive scientist. So that I'm not an expert on this stuff. I was looking I was looking up different articles. I believe the consulate is sovereign territory. Like that's the feds like going into Chinese territory and taking one of their citizens.

Yeah. And the defense minister of China was basically calling us out for overstepping our – overstepping, you know, and saying that, well, the ties – any friendship between Chinese and American is over. We got to talk about this China stuff, man. I think – you know, like the thing about this Fed stuff in Portland is that it all ties together with this – what we're going to see in – I think it's in Louisville where these militias are going to clash and people are getting worried about it. We have to talk about this China stuff because I – we've got to talk about it. It's serious stuff, but I have some thoughts on this.

So let's do this. Let's jump straight over to the federal judge story. However, you must – it is imperative that you smash the like button. Smash. That was my – I went Wolverine there like, Shing, smash, smash, smash. Should I switch it up a little bit maybe? Maybe start steering on a little different, slice up the like button.

Do a different superhero every day. Which superhero? No, no, no, not every day. You know, you gotta let it sink in and develop into a full character. Who's the least likely to actually smash something? I mean, Wolverine smashes a lot. Slashes. That's true. Well, he smashes smash something. I mean, Wolverine smashes a lot. Slashes.

That's true. Well, he smashes and slashes. Actually, Adam. He slices, he dices. Alright, alright. Make sure you subscribe and hit the notification bell. We do the show every Monday through Friday at 8pm. Let's talk about the serious going-ons of Oregon, Portland. Federal judge denies Oregon Attorney

General's motion to restrict federal police actions. Now, this story is very, very simple. It's basically, let me just read you the quick context. Federal Judge Friday denied a temporary restraining order that Oregon's attorney general sought to restrict federal officers tactics in Portland, finding the state lacked legal standing and presented scant evidence to support allegations that federal officers were illegally snatching people off city streets. Boom. That's what we've been waiting for.

The fake news. They've all of these outlets have been running rampant, being like they're snatching people off the streets when they actually went to court. And the judge was like, can you show us them doing this? They were like, no, your honor, but get out. And the judge was like, OK, show us them doing this? They were like, no, your honor, but get out. And the judge was like, okay, get out of my courtroom. Denied. It's not real.

They're not doing this. Nope. So how is it that all of these news outlets are saying unmarked, ununiformed? Ununiformed? That's even mean. Naked. We get to this point now where we've talked about it. Ladies and gentlemen, on this program, you have heard us talk about the game of telephone that journalists play.

Yep. I would like to present to you the most extreme game of telephone we have seen yet. But first, let me read this next paragraph to get a little bit on our standing. U.S. District Judge Michael W. Mossman issued his ruling two days after hearing about 90 minutes of argument by phone conference. It comes on the 58th consecutive day of protests. Are we really at day 58? It's like every time I read a new article, they're claiming it's a day later. I lost track.

Yeah. Time's weird right now. Okay. I guess we're on day 58. So yes, quote, because it has not shown it is vindicating an interest that is specific to the state itself. I find the state of Oregon lacks standing here and therefore deny its request for a temporary restraining order. Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum had urged the judge to bar federal

officers from engaging in unconstitutional police state type tactics, alleging the federal officers have violated protesters' rights to free expression and assembly, unreasonable search and seizure and due process. The attorney general and her lawyers referenced two incidents who I told, I said this, it was two videos. That's it. In which men in camouflage fatigues took Michael Pettibone of downtown at 2 AM, placed him in an unmarked van and took him to the courthouse for questioning. Another person the next day was caught on a widely circulated video on social media being led away to an unmarked dark van by men in camouflage, later identified as Customs and Border Patrol officers. The suit was filed against the U.S. Marshal Service and the FPS. The judge determined for the purposes of the court

hearing that Pettibone's stop was likely done without probable cause. Now, that's interesting, but had little information about the unidentified man in the video. That's interesting for sure. On Twitter, Mark Morgan, a senior official with Customs and Border Protection, referred to a person in a video who Border Patrol agents approached on the streets of Portland and moved the suspects to a safer location. Now, that's insane. Inside the courthouse.

For questioning to avoid a large. Oh, no, no, no. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I should have read the full thing first. A safer location for questioning to avoid a large. Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I should have read the full thing first. A safer location for questioning to avoid a large and violent mob. Suspecting he had previously assaulted a federal officer or destroyed federal property. He provided no further information about the encounter.

They say the state has presented just one example of an arrest without probable cause and one example of an unreasonable seizure. That is the sum total of the evidence before me that underpins the legal injuries the state asserts in its brief the judge wrote in both circumstances of a of a federal seizure it is either admitted or clearly visible that the agent's uniforms say police yes wow so they they counter contradict themselves who did that well i guess this is two different articles, but... So they clearly say that the uniforms said police. The judge is straight up saying, like,

what is it, in the video? In both instances of the evidence presented before me, their uniforms clearly say police. So what is this unmarked, unidentified, unmarked vehicle? Okay. But to be fair, the judge did say no probable cause. That, to me, is surprising. And I'm to be fair, the judge did say no probable cause. That to me is surprising.

And I'm going to defer to the experts because I would believe that the federal defense or whatever would prove or try and present an argument for probable cause. And I think they did. They said they thought this guy was somebody who was damaging property and they wanted to move him to a safer location so there wouldn't be a violent mob. That's actually fair. I agree. But I'll tell you what, look, the federal government has its own interests in mind. And if they're saying no probable cause, well, there you go. However, the judge still told them, nah, they can keep doing what they're doing. They're clearly police. They're clearly doing their thing. Yeah. So here's what he says. Beyond the two examples, the state failed to show that federal officers were engaged in any widespread unlawful practice or that others would be harmed in the future.

It has presented no evidence of any official orders or policies and has presented no evidence that these allegedly illegal seizures are a widespread practice. Despite the broad language in its complaint, Oregon has shown at most that this type of seizure has happened twice. Attorney Sheila Potter, deputy chief trial counsel for the attorney general's office, had argued that secretive maneuvers by federal officers make other protesters fear they'll be snatched off the street, blah, blah, blah. Okay, we get the point. All we needed to hear from the judge was that the only evidence they could present clearly

identified these men as police. You can argue that the seizures were unconstitutional. only evidence they could present clearly identified these men as police. Yep. You can argue that the seizures were unconstitutional. I will absolutely accept the judge's ruling on this one. And I think it's fair. I disagree. But at least it's not the judge, you know, just like, you know, jumping up on the table, dancing around and kicking papers at the at the state.

You know what I mean? True. They're saying, OK, OK, we get it. Probably, you know, it seems like there's no probable cause, but they're clearly cops. It's not widespread. It was a couple instances. Right. Fair point. Okay, okay, we get it. Probably, you know, it seems like there's no probable cause, but they're clearly cops. It's not widespread. It was a couple instances. Right.

Fair point. Especially when the next, like, I think it was a week afterwards, there was a press conference, and they were showing the actual uniforms saying, you can clearly see police. You can clearly see, you know, the badge numbers. Yeah, there it is. Check it out right here. So you can see it on their arm, the badge number. It says Customs and Border Protection right here. Boom.

NZ 39. And then they talk about how these federal officers were getting doxxed by Antifa. So it's like, of course. They don't even talk about that in the article that we just read. Well, so that was just like the judge's ruling. But look, this article's been going around because it's hilarious. This is beyond parody. Unidentified federal agents.

And it's literally got his patch. That's amazing. He's actually identified in the picture they're using. Check this out. Check this out. It's shameful. Here's what Vox wrote. This is this.

Look, man, I feel like I'm reading some kind of action book or comic graphic novel, just not something based in reality. In fact, outside the context of a domestic insurgency like the troubles in Northern Ireland, there is no example of state security forces being deployed under circumstances like this inside any democratic state. You about to drop some bombs on them, Tim? No, I mean, any sane human being who understands life is like what are you talking about we have state police go out all the time yeah well this is the most insane thing i've ever i've seen written like how does vox have a green check mark if you write something like this to me it sounds like they're admitting this is insurgency that's all i hear what did they just say? That's a good point. Outside of the context of domestic insurgency like Northern Ireland, there is no example.

So I guess, well, kind of. I guess the argument is if this is an insurgency, then it's justified. Well, that's what they're saying. But look what he says. Look at in both of them. Let me read this paragraph. The crazy, the other crazy thing is that he's basically comparing this to the Civil War. I know somebody was waiting for me to say it. He's talking about Reconstruction, not me.

I didn't legitimately bring it up. The kind of violent federal deployment over the objections of state and local officials has no real precedent in American history. The closest parallels are Reconstruction, when Union troops occupied the states of the defeated former Confederacy and military deployments to the South during the civil rights era to enforce desegregation orders. So in other words, it's totally legal. It's been done before. Can we move on?

Yeah, apparently not. In both of those cases, it was uniformed soldiers that were sent, not unidentified state security from an alphabet soup of obscure DHS agencies. More fundamentally, these troops were being used to protect moves towards racial progress, not suppress protesters who were there to demand it. Well, that's and there it is. Blatant lying. Right. No, no, no, no, no. It is, though. What he doesn't understand is that's actually a very childlike view of what they were doing. What they were doing was enforcing the law.

When the law said, this is what must be done, period. It wasn't about favoring an ideology or otherwise. It was about the courts had ruled. The laws were passed. Done. So when it comes to what's going on in Oregon, when you try to breach a courthouse and burn it down and attack people, the law is very clear on that one. So yes, identified state security forces are being deployed. But see, here's what they do. He's playing a very clever game with this fake news. He says, not unidentified state security, right? He didn't actually say in this paragraph,

the guys down there were unidentified. He used a? He didn't actually say in this paragraph, the guys down there were unidentified. He used a clever manipulation tactic to write overt fake news. So you assume, right? Here's what he said. In both cases, it was uniformed soldiers, not unidentified state security forces. Did he say the men down there are unidentified security forces? No. He said during civil war, it wasn't them. So you assume it that way when he comes to the next paragraph out of he's, it's technically telling the truth. This is the most egregious, egregious example of technically the truth I have ever seen. And this is what these companies do all day. Okay. Not every single one, but a lot of these digital only ridiculous,

you know, companies that just, you know, just like knock out dozens of articles of nonsense every day. Very, very clever wording. Very clever. You know, in both those cases, it was soldiers, not evil, fascistic monsters made of, you know, metal with claws to make people assume that's what's really going on. Yeah. Now, here's the funniest thing. There's no example of state security forces being deployed like this in any democratic state. First of all, you want to talk about like unmarked,

masked individuals in full tactical gear with live ammunition going into residential areas to purge undesirables. There are many, many examples of that happening in democratic states. I'm going to argue justification for whether or not they should or shouldn't be doing the certain operations. They're all different. I want to pretend like every single operation is the same. But how about we pop over to something called the BOPI. This is Brazil's B bopi they're basically like swat and they've been criticized because their symbol is like a skull with with pistols behind it i guess and a dagger a dagger through its head down through the top yeah wow that's pretty brutal so take a look

at this here feller this guy okay i don't know he's identified he's got his patch on his arm in much the same way as like we see in Portland. That's a good point. But you can't see his eyes. You can't see his face. It's look, I'll be fair, man. It's similar. And these guys were heavily criticized, but they have rifles like live ammunition.

The dudes in Portland that are going out are doing crowd control. Yeah. So, you know, Rand Paul wrote this article saying like we should demilitarize the police and all that stuff and was making reference to portland and i'm like i agree to a certain extent the issue is more so accountability and oversight for the use of this of this machinery technology and equipment okay so look if i see a bunch of violent whatever you want to call it extremists yeah trying to burn down a building. I'm not going to freak out when identified federal law enforcement say, get off our property and then defend themselves. Yeah, it's like they really think everyone has no idea what happens after the peaceful protesters.

Well, they don't even leave. They're still there. It's just when the rioters pick up and start attacking. Did you know about the few guys that stood there? There was a couple hero black men that stood and blocked them. Where? Last night in Portland. They stood and I don't know the guy's name. Awesome dude. I think it's like Freedom of Speech something. I don't know his tag, but they stood there. They locked arms and actually stopped. And he was like yelling. He's like, look, if you

guys really think that Black Lives Matter, you will join me. I'm not afraid to stand here. And he stood there and blocked the guys from breaking down the barricade last night. It's a pretty powerful video. I don't think they do think that, though. I think these far left insurgents. But they held back the Antifa members. Oh, for sure.

From breaking down the barrier. Right. It's pretty cool to see that, though. When he asked that crowd, if they really cared. Yeah. These people are just using, this is a cover.

They show up, dude, we've talked about it. When they showed up, the, the occupy people, the far leftist, the socialist showed up to the Trayvon Martin March in, in New York,

and then steered the crowd in the wrong direction away from the organizers. The organizers were like, we're going to go to one police Plaza and protest the NYPD. And then the occupy people ran to the front and steered the crowd in the wrong direction away from the organizers. The organizers were like, we're going to go to one police plaza and protest the NYPD. And then the Occupy people ran to the front and steered the crowd towards Wall Street. And all of those protesters like that became socialist protesters. Yep, exactly. And that's what I was saying. Listen, that's what I was saying about the bank robbery thing yesterday. If you if you're marching with someone who's leading you to Wall Street chanting, you know, like we are the 99 percent, you're marching with someone who's leading you to Wall Street chanting, you know, like, we are the 99%, you're not protesting police brutality anymore.

You might think you are, but no one's going to say you're like you're marching behind the dude against, you know, Wall Street or whatever. But check out this. Let's go to the top of this article. No, I just want to give props to chat real quick. Just hit me up. It's Philip Anderson, King Free Speech. And he's the one who was there

and uh it was it was it's powerful to see that kind of stuff thank you for standing up for right on man for the real the real deal pop pop over this year uh vox got beat up too by the way really oh they beat him up did you see that one journalist who keeps getting beat up and then keeps saying thank you antifa please may have another i i haven't seen that one but so i'm i'm i'm being rude but there's this uh like andy no was tweeted about him he got beat up the first time okay and then andy no was like antifa has put a bounty on this guy's head and so then the dude tweets the feds it's it's actually you know it's not not antifa the feds are trying to stop me you know they're know, they're committing war crimes. Then they beat him up again.

And he posts a video saying something like, yeah, they beat me up, but it's okay. Like, I'll be all right. You know, I'm more concerned with the police. It's like, dude, how many times are you going to get beat up? And then you're going to act like. How many times we have to teach the same lesson? Yeah. So take a look at this article from Vox.

Portland polarization and the crisis of the Republican Party. Wow. What? That to me, man, is... It is now officially political. Well, it's not confidence building. Quote, we are witnessing a crisis of democracy that is perfectly acceptable to a significant portion of the population as long as it hurts their enemies. Okay. I don't want anyone hurt.

Okay. What are they thinking? It's the old saying, bro. They really want everyone to believe that there's this huge mass of people that are racist, that want death upon their enemies. It's like, no, we want America to stop fighting and we want to work together. Period. That's what everyone wants. They want this silliness to stop fighting and we want to work together. Period. That's what everyone wants. They want this silliness to stop. Most people are looking at these people like they're just spoiled little brats, including myself.

And there are a lot of people that are too stupid to know what's going on and just see this and think it must be true. Right. Like, you know what? It's the old saying that Republicans think that Democrats are misguided. Democrats think Republicans are evil. Right. Exactly. So I think at the highest level, like Vox, I believe the people who run it. I believe they're evil. I do. And the reason I say that and I use these words, I use like evil very carefully, is because the people who are funding this know exactly what they're funding.

They're conscious of it. So a lot of people talk about like grifting on social media and they say, you know, Tim's just choosing these stories because they get the most clicks and stuff like that. And it's like, actually, I choose the stories that I think are the most interesting and important. Right. Exactly. Today I talked about UFOs because that Pentagon thing, and I'm pretty sure it's not going to do as well as me talking.

Like I could have recorded a segment on this. Yeah. Instead, I was like, I got to talk about UFOs, man. This is fun and crazy. There's nothing concrete yet for me. Of course, of course. But anyway, the point is, Vox, CNN, BuzzFeed, these are companies where in the morning, the boss comes in and says, who's going to give me that story that gets a million clicks?

I'll buy a pizza. And then they're like, I got this story about Joe Biden saying that he wants to defund the police. Nah, no one cares about that. You got something on Trump. I got one of Trump that we can take out of context where it sounds like he wants to like beat a dog to death. Ooh, that's good. How many hits you think that one will get? Two million? Run it. The thing about a corporation that does this is that people have to consciously say, what is the story and which one will do better. Run with that one. I've been in these meetings.

I've heard them where they've pitched things. Now, it's not that insane. They'll be like, yo, I heard this story about, you know, this guy on a hacking website who got like his name released. And they're like, not interesting enough. What about you? I think Donald Trump is racist. That one. Do that one. The people in charge know

what they're choosing and why they're choosing it. It's very different from an individual being like, here's my opinion on these issues and here's what I think matters. The company is like, here's our broadly defined or like a, you know, narrowly defined, you know, story purview. If you look at some of these earlier companies, like Mike.com was like libertarian until they realized social justice, the police brutality stuff, it made them more money. This is what I've been told. So I'll just tell you that it's like, you know, scuttlebutt. But then all of a sudden they became a leftist social justice company because they were chasing the money. The owners were actively pursuing this. The scary thing about this article from Vox is I think they're right. When they say we are witnessing a crisis of democracy,

that is true. That is perfectly acceptable to a significant portion of the population. Yes. And it hurts their enemies. I believe that of the far left and the Democrats. So it's the faulty statement there would be the Republican Party. It's more the Democrat Party. And I can prove it with one simple bit of logic. Go for it. The Republicans aren't showing up

to the homes of politicians. The Republicans aren't showing up to courthouse buildings and vandalizing and destroying them. And in this context, federal police are not going to the homes of Antifa to beat and detain them. We're not talking about creedies little black bags showing up to a comedian's house,

bashing them in the face and throwing them in a van. We're talking about far leftists trying to burn down a building, assaulting police officers, assaulting journalists. They assaulted journalist Michael Tracy. Did you see that video? They stole his phone from him and say, if you want to back, say Black Lives Matter. Oh, that one. Right.

And then you want to tell me that there's a group of people that are okay with this when I try talking to my friend saying hey they're assaulting journalists so what don't you know what's going on why won't you talk about police brutality and I'm like because they're beating up a journalist in the street right now

right now yeah and I messaged you about police brutality when it happened last week can you know and then they just shut down no or how about how about all the kids Right now. Right now, yeah. And I messaged you about police brutality when it happened last week. Can you— No. And then they just shut down. No. Or how about all the kids that are being killed across this country? Yep.

I'm not talking about that. And how they're lying, conflating diligent valor with Operation Legend. Yeah, they're definitely mixing those up. That, to me, is the creepiest stuff. I want to show you one more thing with this. This is just some article. It's an investigative post. I don't even know what this is, but it's very simple. The state police have troopers trained in emergency response. That's the only sentence you need to hear.

So if state security forces show up and say, this is an unlawful assembly, you must disperse, they use the LRAD and they fire tear gas. Yeah, you can complain about it if they're pushing the boundary and violating your rights. You can complain about it. You can file suit. But to act like it's the end of the world and that Trump is the dictator, it's insane how fake all this is. They literally just make all this stuff up. I mean, one can argue that, I mean, there's, I know the defamation laws, you know, the libel laws, it's, they're, they're directly causing people to believe that there is a war going on within our country. So you can almost, you can almost say that these faulty, you know, media posts are leading people to cause violence and actually damage communities. It's like there's a direct correlation to their BS and what's actually happening out there.

You know, I was really disappointed. You've got to be held liable for that. There's a reporter named Josh Rushing. He works for Al Jazeera's Fault Lines, or I think he used to. And I used to – I still respect him. And I say this because it bums me out. He did this bit where he has someone film him while he calls Tucker Carlson on speakerphone. And Tucker, he's like, Tucker, you recently said that white supremacy was a hoax.

And there are people in El Paso that feel like your rhetoric is inflaming things, makes them targeted. Tucker's response was, hey, why don't you send the questions to the media people? Because, you know, I'm not supposed to do do this and then they made a bit out of it and it is the lowest form of trash content and i was surprised at this dude who um i guess he's he had he had served in the military uh maybe a marine i'm not entirely sure okay and then he became like a host for an al jazeera show called fault lines and i'm like this is what it's come to now, man. Like you're going to go from reporting in conflict zones to being the guy in the street gotcha-ing Tucker Carlson because someone gave you a cell phone number.

Yeah. That's what it's become. That's media today. And I was just like, and now what he's doing is he's like reposting it again a year later. Like, hey, everybody, look what I did. Well, in not all media huh yeah all right sorry we need we need to figure how um figure out how to fix it how to hold them liable for lying blatantly to the american public yeah i agree you know you know we definitely need to

figure that out it's very difficult these companies like like Vox and Bloomberg have institutional power in the sense that they use their collective viewership to empower people who are really, really dumb and lie. So you get these journalists who normally would have no influence because they're talentless and they're liars, but they're placed up on a pedestal with tens of or hundreds of millions of dollars by major corporations that push their message out so you get these you know i think it's one of the reasons why they really want to control social media because social media became a open space for meritocracy where someone like me for instance could just start making content and with zero

marketing budget gain a ton of followers and get millions of views, they don't want that. They want the machine to control it. So now they're like ban it all, shut it all down. But I'll tell you what, man. It's hard some days when I see Vox. I probably saw like 30 stories all saying the same fake thing. Unidentified police. Yeah.

Where a judge just ruled they're clearly identifiable in the videos you showed me. What is this? Yeah, there's a few friends of mine that are arguing that, like, you know, how can you defend this Operation Legend and look at what's happening in Portland?

Of course, they live in Portland. Right. And they're like, I go outside, everything's fine. Nothing's like that. Like, how can you say that? And it's just like, you live there

and you're telling me that the videos that i'm watching of the actual courthouse being attacked you and then here we have a court order so the judge issuing like nope that's they're they're well within their rights to do what they're doing telling me like no it's it's terrible that that you believe that that think that you're the issue, that you're believing the false lies. So they truly believe what the truth is, is the lie. Think about how psychotic it is right now that CNN and Oregonian and all of these outlets

are arguing that Portland is fine. Right. They're like, there's nothing really going on in Portland. It's not burning down. Nothing's happening. And then they turn around and go, Trump's Gestapo. They're snatching people off the streets. It's chaos in Bedlam. Which is it? Which is it? Is it Trump's secret police renditioning people? Or is it everything's fine? Nothing's really happening. I haven't noticed

anything. If you're going to go, if you live in Portland and you're like, everything's fine, then why would you complain about Operation Legend? Oh, then great. Then you wouldn't care if the FBI shows up to Chicago, right? Because everything's fine amid Donald Trump's diligent valor. I believe it's Chirac right now. Yeah, yeah, Chirac. It's the appropriate label. It's that simple. If you think the DHS people in Portland is not a big deal because Portland is fine,

then why would I believe you when you say, how dare Trump send federal agents to a different city? Why? Your city's fine. And then we got the press secretary doing a, you know, you know, a speech to everybody and showing a video of what's actually, yeah, Fox. Well, they were covering it. And of course, she shows video of the actual riots, the actual fire, the actual mortars being shot at the courthouse and the statues being toppled. Sure, there was some graffiti there that people are claiming. Well, there was graffiti that was, you know, said a swear word. So they were going to get fined. And it's like, no, that's not what they wanted.

They didn't want the general public to see what was going on in Portland. Period. That's what it was. I mean, if you truly, and people are just bombarding any Twitter feed that I see about that, it's just all these people on the left like, no, no, it was just a swear word. Don't worry. They just took it down from the swear word. It's like, no, that's not what it was. They don't want anyone knowing about the actual goings of Portland right now. They want them to believe that everything's fine in Portland.

They want you to join the Borg. Yep, exactly. They want you to be a part of the hive. There's no war. Yeah, there is no war in Ba Sing Se. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. This is what they want.

They want you. They're reactionaries. Yeah. Right? So for those that aren't familiar with the phrase, and a lot of people aren't, that's why I'll define it. Reactionary is a reference to, I believe, the French Revolution where the left wing, and that's where left and right comes from. The Jacobins and the left and the revolutionary types called the right that wanted to support the monarchy reactionaries who reacted to the revolution. Yeah. that wanted to support the monarchy, reactionaries who reacted to the revolution. So today, the left is really good at using, they understand the power of semantics

and how words shape reality. That's why they change definitions of words. Racism. And that's why they will call, like, they'll call liberal individuals, like freedom-loving individuals, libertarian individuals, conservatives, reactionaries, to imply that you, in fact, are resisting the true progress. When in reality, the left is trying to rewind the clock on everything. Our understanding of freedom of speech, which was earned in Supreme Court battles throughout the 60s. Remember that? You ever see that great Berkeley banner where they

march on Berkeley, free speech? Our modern understanding of free speech was solidified in Supreme Court rulings. It wasn't always this way. We had obscenity laws. We had a ton of stuff that restricted us from speaking. So then you get, it's just, it's too tiring sometimes, man. I believe it. They change the definitions of words. They call you the reactionary.

They call you the fascist. But what these people are doing, repealing civil rights law. That's insane. That's reactionary. Okay. What happened was we had an ideological revolution that all people are created equal, and we fought very hard for this. It's very simple. If you want to repeal a law to go back to the way things were, you're a reactionary. They call everyone else fascist. Why? Because they actually use those fascist tactics. So they call themselves the not fascists club. And then when they start doing fascist things, they're like, we're the not fascists, you moron. We can't possibly do fascism. Now, they're not necessarily doing fascism, but they've cleverly disguised

their reactionary views, which is fascistic for progressivism. Think about how very like clever it is to say we oppose racism. Therefore, we must repeal civil rights law. It boggles my mind. That people believe it? I know. And they're actually out there defending it. It's like, how can you defend that? They think that it's so virtuous.

Like, oh, man, but we're going to get true diversity. They don't think it's. I don't think so. In their head, dude, they're thinking that. Definitely. Definitely. Maybe like the grunts and the peons. Yeah yeah the people who truly believe it's a good thing they think it's a good thing you know they think it's a virtue and this is this you can easily verify

like the way i see this is very i believe it's logically i believe i'm correct and it's very simple first one of the tactics they call the proposition to repeal civil rights the affirmative action amendment. And all it does is repeal civil rights. That's incredible. The Democrats realized that they were like wait a minute, all of the racist things that were really hard to get done, I know

Democrats decided they'll pretend not to be racist and then they can start doing all the racist things and no one will stop them. It works. And then label this bill that we're going to push forward as the affirmative action bill. When literally it just strikes civil rights law. Yep, exactly. They're reactionaries that want to turn back the clock

on our freedoms, our civil rights, while arguing it's you that wants to do it. Let me tell you something. When someone on the right, a libertarian, a moderate, politically homeless IDW says, individuals deserve freedom no matter what their race, color, creed, national origin. That is progress. That is us recognizing the fundamental human rights, the unalienable rights of every person that was originally enshrined in the Constitution. And we fully realized over the next 100, 200 years, they're trying to literally repeal those laws to take it back to a simpler time because they're racists.

Right. So so all those all those crazy Democrat leftists that were yelling at Trump when he was like, make America great again. When Reagan said it, Clinton said it. Bill Clinton said it for Hillary Clinton in 2008, too. That blew me away. I was like, wow, that wasn't even that long ago. And now they're like, oh, what what time do you want to go back to? And it's like when our infrastructure was solid. Yeah. When pipes in Flint, Michigan were good. You know, it's like, what? There's a graphic that I see a bunch of lefties share.

It's from Robert Reich. I think his name is. And it shows like the great prosperity of like 1947 to 1979. And it's like every class in the country was skyrocketing in wealth. Yeah, that's a good era, actually. And then from 1980 till now, only the top 1% has grown while the middle class

has been stagnant. So when Donald Trump, so I see everyone sharing this, like what happened? How come we were all doing so, you know, every class was doing so well and something changed in 1980

and now only the 1% is prospering. So you're saying you want to make America great again. You want to go back to the old days. Yes. 1940s when the economy was bolstering. Is that what you're saying? 1950s.

1950s, 60s. What happened in the 60s? Welfare was created also. We've had this conversation, so I know where you're leading into this. No, no, no. I mean, I wasn't. Oh, you want to talk about it, though? What I was going to say is there's a lot factors okay that resulted in the middle class stagnation i mean immigration is one um feminism is one welfare is

one but the point i'm bringing up is when donald when donald trump says make america great again and they say when was america great i bring you back to all the leftists who said, remember when we had a 90% tax rate? Maybe Trump meant that. Oh, you don't think he did? I don't either. The point is- Biden's trying to bring back higher taxes. Yeah, that's true. No, the point is, there was a lot of things that the left claims were better way back when. And if Trump says he wants to make America great again, then why don't you just be like, oh, that thing you talked about, the tax bracket? Yeah, that's when America was great.

How about that? That's actually the point I was trying to get to. So thanks for finishing that for me. Oh, okay. Right on. Well, how about we move on to the escalation? The escalation. The escalation.

WDRB.com says LMPD, that's Louisville Metro Police, plan for armed militias to protest downtown Saturday. And they give us this really, really nice photo of a member of the black militia group known as the NFAC. You got a bunch of dudes. They got guns. And I'll tell you what. First and foremost, they're in their legal right to do everything they're doing. Absolutely. So good for them.

That's first and foremost. Trigger discipline. Yeah. I mean, seriously, compared to a a lot of people these guys are doing it right well after the first time that they they marched what was it like three weeks ago maybe a month i don't know so there was a bunch of people talking about the you know the different people holding guns and then then there was close-ups on the guns and then there was close-ups on the guns. Then there was close-ups and calling out on how many of the guns weren't loaded. Many of the guns weren't... From the NFAC? Yeah.

Interesting. Many of the guns weren't properly equipped, I guess. I don't know that much about guns myself, but I was reading into it, and there was clearly people who knew what they were talking about guns talking about it. The important context is that you've got this group it's the the not effing around coalition they marched through georgia they called out right-wing groups and militias and apparently one of these dudes has posted like i don't know how you describe it but anti-semitic conspiracy theories you know stuff in the vein of like black identity extremism and black Hebrew Israelites.

So people are kind of concerned about their ideology, especially if they're going to be marching around. But hey, first and foremost, they're allowed to be doing this in America. Second Amendment applies to them, same as anybody else, if they want to do their thing, so long as it's within the law, I'm not going to complain. However, the three percenters are

going to be coming out. And after these dudes already called out other militias, I have genuine concern for some kind of escalation. I really don't want that. I don't want anyone shooting each other. But I got to be honest, man. I've noticed that when I've gone to a lot of protests, be it the left or the right, the armed guys are the most disciplined and typically stop things from escalating.

The issue is the older disciplined guys with training things from escalating. The issue is the older disciplined guys with training who are like, we don't want an escalation here and kind of calm things down. They're great. But what happens when some younger person shows up all rambunctious

with a brand new weapon or like when the dude in Chaz just hands some random dude a gun. Or a brick gets tossed from behind the crowd or one person not associated with either group comes in and just pops one shot into the air while pretending to be one of the other exactly and then I think I got to be

honest man in my experience I think even someone firing in the air you'll see discipline from the guys who are properly trained they're not just going to start aiming and shooting you know what scares me though on that front is these not effing around crew they were straight up calling these people to come fight them yep so they weren't i mean that's what they were saying they're like come fight us

you know you're all talk and it's like they're not all talk they're that they they're not trying to fight you that's not what their plan is and that seems like that's what their plan is perhaps perhaps i can't speak for the NFAC guys. Okay. I've actually been on the ground at various protests and actions where the three percenters have been. Yeah. And I've seen them be the most disciplined there. In fact, at one event, it was in Boston, when people were trying to fight, the three percenters actually pushed the – so they're on the side with the right, the right-wing people. When the left-wing people started walking up to the crowd, the three percenters actually held back the right-wing side and yelling at them, like, back up, back up now. Because they're disciplined, they're assertive, and they're like, you're going to cause problems.

That guy's trying to bait you. You back up. Nice. Because they're going to keep, like, if the three percenter dudes in Boston, they knew that if they went up to the Antifa guy and tried pushing him back, like, get away from us, the fight would break out. The smart thing to do, the disciplined thing to do, was to tell your side to back up because they're trying to bait you. So I really

do believe that if it really did come to this, if I had to make a bet, I wouldn't say I'd guarantee it, I'd be willing to bet it would take a lot to get, like, a 3%er group or one of these right-wing militias to engage. Like, even in the event someone fired a few rounds, I bet it would take a lot to get like a three percenter group or one of these right wing militias to engage like even in the event someone fired a few rounds I bet they would retreat I bet they would get behind cover and they'd be like we're not engaging this is not

what we want I can't speak for the NFAC well I can't I can't either all I'm going I don't know well and neither do I but I am going directly off of their videos of them speaking to the camera saying this is our message. So I'm going off their words. That's where I got my information. Here, let's read a little bit. They say groups associated with the Three Percenter Movement and a black militia known as the Not F-ing Around Coalition are expected to face off in Jefferson Square Park on Saturday, along with other people who have for several weeks been protesting the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor by police. Well, maybe they'll all be there together,

because everybody wants justice for Breonna Taylor. Yeah. Period. I don't know any... I haven't found one person who doesn't care about that. Yeah, I would say that with 100% accuracy, when I go to people and be like, hey, did you hear about this young woman who was just shot in a no-knock warrant?

And they're like, wow, that's crazy. Those cops should face justice. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. I'll tell you what, though. In Seattle, there's going to be more riots on Saturday. And that's why Trump is deploying this tactical team. Saturday is going to be bumping.

That's tomorrow, man. It's going to be bumping. There's going to be a lot of live streams. Things are going to get crazy across this country. I hope this doesn't spark any craziness. Let's read a little bit more. Same. Major Aubrey Gregory told reporters Thursday that the groups are expected to be armed,

but everyone police have spoken with has expressed the desire for peaceful protests. Good. We have been in contact with both groups coming to Louisville, and we expect nothing but a peaceful protest this weekend. This is what I was saying, man. Even with the tough talk

from the dude, I've found that the people at protests who are armed tend to be much more disciplined. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if both groups were like, no, no, no, no, no.

We don't, nobody wants to get shot. You know what I mean? Right. Some places are a different story, mind you. Chicago, for instance. People pull out guns

and point them at each other's faces and then somebody gets shot. To help ensure that, police will limit vehicle access around the park, including prohibiting parking on the streets surrounding Jefferson Square Park. And police will use bike rack barriers to create a buffer zone and separate the protesters. Gregory said police will create a no-go zone on Fifth Street to try and keep those people with alternative viewpoints separated. The department will try not to intervene as long as protesters do not break the law, police have said. LMPD remains committed to peaceful expression of views under the First Amendment. That's Jesse Halliday, police spokesman said.

As we have done for several weeks, there will be no need for police intervention as long as there is no threat to personal or public safety. We will not allow the barricading of streets by with other law enforcement, including Kentucky State Police, but have not requested assistance for this weekend. And Gregory told reporters he spoke with the founder of NFAC, Grandmaster Jay, who said he is coming to Louisville to voice his concern over the death of Taylor, but expected a non-violent

protest. I take him at his word as I have no reason not to. Nice. I think they should march together. I think so too. Good point. They should both show up and both say, we want accountability for people who break the law and commit crimes and take innocent life. Absolutely.

If they approach this as they're framing it like different factions needing to be divided. Well, that's clearly what they're doing. Exactly. That's the potential for conflict because you'll get some Antifa dude on one side starting to fight. If they march together like we saw with Black Lives Matter and the Boogaloo Boys, zero chance for conflict. That's true. They're together. And who's Antifa going to provoke?

If they're going together as proper American citizens exercising their rights, protesting against injustice, what's Antifa going to do? Who are they going to push? Look at what happened in Virginia when all the gun rights advocates came out and Black Panthers showed up. Everybody had a good time. And guess what? They won. They pushed back that law, I suppose, in

Virginia. I can't remember the full details. It's been a while since I covered this, but they had their big peaceful protest. They actually won. And different political factions were there, all getting along. Mostly just like guns rights activists, I think. I'm that many of them have different viewpoints, but that was the only real clear ideology.

I got one word for you. What's that? America. Absolutely. Yep. Isn't it funny how peaceful protest works? Yeah. Martin Luther King was a strong advocate for peaceful protesting.

What have the violent riots wrought? Opposition to Black Lives Matter. Escalation of crime. Ruination of small businesses. Minority-owned businesses. Yep. Destruction of wealth for the lower class. Literal death.

And then we get the defunding of police. They claim victory. What does that get? More deaths. Look at New York. Look at Chicago. And the activists in New York are coming out saying, bring them back. Please bring our cops back.

Yep. So the riots have generated nothing but chaos, conflict, suffering. Death. 28 dead. 28. I know it's more than that. Well, directly involved in rioting. Sure.

Then you go on to the crime rates that are surging because of this stuff. Worse. What have the peaceful protests generated at first? Peaceful protests resulted in a major show of support for Black Lives Matter. Yeah, definitely. And now it's all souring. Well, because at first everyone was like, hey, you know what? You're right. We want you to know we absolutely think Black Lives Matter. No doubt. Like we that wasn't even a question on anyone's mind right away it was like awesome black lives matter for sure no doubt yeah but now now we see

it's being commandeered by all these not just one but just like there's antifa that's taking it and using it as a shield you know corporations corporations are using it right you know they're jumping on the bandwagon it's boston was the boston red sox they're like a 250 foot banner that's so dumb man you know you know we i did a video on this earlier but when a and e canceled live pd oh yeah that's right this is this is this is so crazy i don't know if you guys saw the story it's a 300 million dollar franchise and a and e was like it's a show about cops, we're gonna cancel it. And now their ratings are down 55%.

Good riddance. Not only did they lose the $300 million franchise, but the revenue across the board is gonna go down. Can't have a video showing police in a positive light, can you? Nope. You know, the adage, you know, get woke, go broke.

Thank you. I guess we should make a button. Get woke, you know the adage uh you know you know what it is go bro thank you thank you yep that's it i guess we should make a button get woke go bro i got a few i got yeah that's a good one actually it's relevant it's happening a lot yeah we need something having to do with aoc giving bread to people let them eat cake let them have bread i can't believe she actually said let them eat cake you know what i mean wait she actually said let them eat cake. You know what I mean? Wait, she actually said let them eat cake? Figuratively. Oh, okay. Like when she was referencing the shooting violence and crime, and she was like, they just want bread. That's like literally Marie Antoinette.

Yep, exactly. The poor people are revolting again. What should we do? Why don't they just eat bread? Because they don't have any, dude. But hers is a different version of the same thing, where it's like hers is an inversion of it, where people aren't trying to get bread.

And she goes, we need to give them bread. It's like they're shooting each other for unknown reasons. For someone asking them to stop lighting fireworks off at 2.30 in the morning. Yeah, that's an issue of law and order. Absolutely it is. They're trying to claim that Trump is faking all of this. Which is insanity this is yeah i'm seeing it with my own eyes i'm reading the police reports it's

it's crazy right now in america like i want law and order the only people are getting killed go the only conspiracy theory is i suppose the the the black block individuals are secretly working for the government. And so believe it or not, some people actually believe this because they think the two people who were snatched up were actually informants. Yeah, we talked about that. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's why the cops were like, we're going to get you. And that's why they weren't arrested and there was no trace of it.

They weren't brought in for questioning. They're technically brought in for questioning, but they're cooperating criminal informants or confidential informants. But I don't think there's any grand conspiracy. I think the reality is I've known a lot of these far left people. They want people to believe. They tweet about this. They're agitators trying to make us look bad.

The protesters are peaceful. It's like, dude, those moms weren't wearing masks. They were kicking the door in too. Like, it's just a mob. It's like, this is what mobs do. It was a really funny story I was reading once. I guess it's like an is what mobs do it was a really funny story i was reading once like i guess it's like an old legend that somewhere in europe back in the way olden days of like the

1400s okay people were all on a bridge just dancing wildly like for no reason and whenever someone walked on the bridge they would be they would succumb to the hysteria and start dancing as well okay and it was just like it was probably like it's a story supposedly about some weird curse I don't know but most people just think it was mob mentality that people joined in and started doing random things looking weird and silly for no known reason I mean there's I'm seeing some videos where there is definitely

mob mentality and they're just chiming in it's creepy and that's why I'm saying it's getting real creepy the fact that they're showing up to people's homes now is one of the most alarming things because it will only be a matter of time before they go in your home. And that's why that, I don't know if it

was the police commissioner or who made that press conference, but he was saying it's like we've had over 17 of our police officers be doxxed by these Antifa folk. We don't want they're going to people's houses. We know that they are so They're like they're going to people's houses. Yep. We know that they are.

So we're trying to protect our officers who are trying to protect the citizens who aren't attacking the courthouse. It's crazy. But this is what we get in the Pacific Northwest. If you know, I mean, I'm pretty sure everybody realized this, especially with like Andy knows coverage. Yeah. That if it was going to start anywhere, this unrest and this wave of whatever

is going to be in Portland or Seattle. We all knew it. So let's jump over to the more, I want to say relatively more pressing, but China, man. I mean, it's important. This is serious, what's going on here. So make sure, before we jump into this segment on China,

and this is crazy because they may have violated sovereign territory. We'll read this. But you can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Parler at TimCast.

There we go. CNBC FBI arrests Chinese researcher for visa fraud after she hid at consulate in San Francisco. CNBC reports a researcher who took refuge in the Chinese consulate in San Francisco. CNBC reports a researcher who took refuge in the Chinese consulate in San Francisco after allegedly lying to investigators about her Chinese military service was arrested and will appear in court on Monday, according to a senior Justice Department official. According to court documents unsealed earlier this week in the Eastern District for California, Yuan Tang, a researcher at the University of California, Davis, applied for a non-immigrant J-1 visa October 2019. The visa was issued in November 2019, and Tang entered the U.S.

a month later. Tang allegedly made fraudulent statements on her visa application by concealing that she served in the Chinese military. The FBI concluded that Tang was a uniformed officer of the People's Liberation Army Air Force after photographs of her were uncovered on electronic media seized in accordance with the search warrant. I won't discuss the circumstances of the arrest, said the official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, adding that the individual did not have diplomatic immunity. The person said that the details of the arrest could be released when the defendant appears before the Eastern District of California court Monday. The issue here is that their true status wasn't disclosed by visa application. The official said, adding that the arrest was not a

tit-for-tat move as tensions between Washington and Beijing simmer. On Thursday, the FBI arrested Tang, who had avoided arrest by taking refuge in the Chinese consulate in San Francisco. Tang's arrest for alleged visa fraud follows those of three other Chinese researchers in California and Indiana. The arrests were described as a microcosm of a broader network of individuals in more than 25 cities. By their very nature, consulates are a base of operations for foreign governments to the U.S., including their intelligence services, and it's understood that there will be some activity here by those services. Yikes. But because of their location within the United States and their status of sovereign territory

of a foreign country, they cannot be exploited. And the espionage and influence activities run out of a consulate can rise ultimately to a level that threatens our national security. So this is where it's uh it's getting spicy man they shut down our what is this they shut down our consulate in chengdu a senior state department official said the arrests and the closure of the consulate in houston are about targeting nefarious chinese activity inside the u.s no they straight up called them out for spying on us oh yeah for sure, for sure. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm just reading the quote.

I know. I'm just bringing more information into the fold here. On their decision to close Chengdu, you're going to have to ask them, the MFA, and how they picked that, said the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity, referring to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The official added that the Trump administration was prepared to deal with second and third order effects in the wake of the consulate closure. What does that mean? I don't know, man. But when I first heard this, it was disconcerting. I wonder if the U.S. got permission to enter sovereign territory to seize a Chinese national.

Yeah, maybe. Well, I was actually looking into it, and there's their reporting on the Chinese side that those people defected to us, to the U.S. Really? What? That's what I'm seeing from some reporters on the Chinese side. And even, I mean, it says here that China's foreign ministry spokesman, Wang Wenbin, said some of the U.S. Chengdu consulate personnel were conducting activities not in line with their identities. So they're they're trying. Well, and had harmed China's security interests. Right. Right. Right. But would not elaborate.

And then he goes on to say in an interview that he was like, you know, he was speaking to the public in China. And he was he was basically saying that we made we made the first move as Americans and we messed up how we were kicking them out of their consulate in Houston. And that move is basically making them look bad. And how dare we? And the friendship that we had between America and China is no longer. You know what's going on with China and the U.S. reminds me of like you've got this one big brutish dude. And he challenges this little nerdy guy to a fight or whatever. And the nerdy guy doesn't care about winning by honorable means.

So when the big brutish dude is like, you think that scrawny guy can take me? I'm the best. And the scrawny guy just hides in the bushes and takes a wrist rocket and blasts him in the head with a rock and wins. And the guy goes down. So the analogy I'm trying to use here is so many people keep saying that, oh, China's no threat to the U.S., they're no threat to the U.S. Do you think that China, realizing that we have this massive technological advantage, would plan for a conflict based on physical force or ground forces? They're going to target infrastructure, manipulate social pressures,

financial institutions. It is going to be a subversive, manipulative conflict. I'm fairly certain that's what's been going on for quite some time. Well, yeah, of course. Mike Pompeo said it. Yep.

They've infiltrated every level of our governments and institutions. And Barr said it too. He was talking about the exact same thing. All these companies that all of a sudden you know it's you know it's you know it sickens me i'm not going to name the nba players but you guys probably know who i'm talking about these these very very high profile nba players who are like you know oh we we need a movement and we're going to kneel we're going to do all these things and then when it comes to china they're like what's

wrong with china china's great terrible that's the scary thing about it. It's a shame. It's the money, man. It's greed. Greed is disgusting. So you have to wonder why it is that China suppresses their population in the way they do with like garbage wages, manipulates their currencies, and has these basically massive

sweatshops. You know why? Man, this is horrifying about collectivism at this scale these individuals who are walking off the building at foxconn to their deaths that was a big story a long time ago they put up suicide nets to catch their bodies china's the chinese government sacrifices people in order to get an edge against us. So they put these people in crammed garbage apartments and they pay them trash to make our phones. That way American companies can't compete. Here's what happens. Phone company says, how much will it cost us to hire labor to build these phones? They say,

well, the total cost per phone will be, you know, $2,000. Yikes. That's way too much. Well, over in China, the total cost will be $100. then we can sell them for a thousand and claim it's cheap that's brilliant yeah because they suppress their labor and depress the wages and and you know put these people in these horrifying conditions we we can't compete with that that's why trump wanted tariffs that's why he didn't want tpp it's why bernie sanders originally didn't want tpp that's why he didn't want TPP. It's why Bernie Sanders originally didn't want TPP. That's why he wants to bring manufacturing back here. You know, exactly. There's so many things in that we can we can talk about that for a while. But go ahead.

Keep going. The point is, what we're seeing from China is they're willing to like lop off their own arm if it means they win against us in the long run. So if you see this stuff and I see a lot of people in the comments saying things like China is a paper tiger. They're not strong enough. They have a lot of people, but they're so weak. They have one aircraft carrier. And it's like, man, what did Sun Tzu say about underestimating your opponent?

I don't remember the exact quote, but you don't. You don't. You don't do it. You win the war before you start it. There's a bunch of really brilliant quotes from Sun Tzu. Obviously, the art of war. Fairly certain 1,000 paper cuts will still do a lot of damage. Right.

Death by 1,000 cuts. Yep. So we can see. Listen, man. Over the past several decades, that Dylan Radigan rant. This country is being extracted through trade, politics, finance. That's right. Yeah.

We're not buying American products. So our money isn't staying in America. It's going outside of America to other countries, weakening us. It's this simple. That's what Trump wants to do. It's really simple. If Trump didn't come around, and this is fascinating, especially considering the things I was, you know, my position several years ago. If Trump didn't do what he did with TPP and with American manufacturing, I talked about this years ago.

China could snap their fingers and win the war. You know why? We don't have medicine. We don't have masks. We don't have manufacturing capabilities. 80% of our imports come from China. So here's what happens. That's what he means by saying, make America great again.

Make America great by providing for ourselves. That's what he wants to do. That's what I want to do. We should all want that. If Trump didn't intervene and the extraction carried on for another several years, we would be two more presidents down the line. We'd make literally nothing. The billionaires

of the NBA in Hollywood would have all their allegiances in China and all their wealth in China and then China and they would snap their fingers and say, we declare war on you, America. And we'd be like, oh, yeah. And they'd be like, yeah, what you're going to do? You can't make anything. And then we'd be like, oh. OK. Yeah, they would cut off our manufacturing because they controlled all of it. They were shutting down our ability to make things but that executive order that he put in uh president trump put in what is it last week now i know i know it was it was starting on hong kong but the wordings that that was in there was basically saying if you're if you're connected

to the party if you're funded if ccp is connected through any means even if you're bystander and you you have been helping them in any way, they can freeze your assets. So those millionaires and billionaires and all that stuff, it's like, I'm waiting for it. I'm looking for that day. That was an extremely powerful move. Yeah, it was. And now you're not going to see it. But I tweeted about this, that I think you've got these billionaires that are lobbying for favorable policies for their interests in foreign companies not necessarily just in china now they're going to think twice when hollywood

if if hollywood puts out a movie and changes symbols for china trump can walk up and go well well well what have we here oh that's a nice couple hundred million dollar um revenue stream we're gonna take it yep shut it down thanks hollywood someone's something's got to be done about it i don't know to what degree trump will actually pull things like that off but you gotta imagine all of these woke billionaires that won't say and say one word against china we'll start thinking twice about about their business operations damn yeah you got to think about it that that executive order was broad, man. It was like indirectly assisting somebody associated with like. I know.

So you could be a billionaire who owns a company that you don't pay attention to and they make shoes and the shoes are made in, you know, Shenzhen. And then all of a sudden Shenzhen or however you pronounce it. I can't pronounce it. Yeah. And then Trump goes, you're indirectly funding, you know, the owner of that factory, which is a party member. I'm going to take your stuff. I think I think I clapped when I first read that. Clap like you're in your room and you're like, I was in my on my desk. I was just reading, reading that part. And I was just like, yes, I jokingly clap for the microphone.

But yeah, man, I did. So maybe to get conspiratorial, I was talking to somebody the other day and I was like, think about everything that's happened. We may have mentioned this on the show. Everything that's happened has been very fortuitous for us in the event of a war with China.

We've decentralized from our cities. People are fleeing cities. People have bought guns like crazy. Non-essential work has been curtailed. And now people are being given resources to stock up on the things that they choose to get. True. It's like, it feels like we're going to go to war soon. You know?

Oh, what is this? Oh, man. So, I mean, we were just kind of talking about this is not a – I don't want to say that this is fortuitous in our favor because this is terrible for a lot of Chinese citizens that's going on right now. But this is the three gorges dam. And so this is from 2017. So now I'm going to click over. This is from June 24th. So you can see the floodgates are open and it is releasing.

I mean, this thing is coming apart. But why are they dumping the water out? Probably because the dam is falling apart and they need to release the pressure. I thought it was flooding, like overflowing. Well, that's what it is. Trying to avoid that. Right, right, right. So it's flooding downriver.

Oh, I see. This is. Trying to avoid that. Right, right, right. So it's flooding downriver. Now this... Oh, I see. This is July 9th. Whoa! So this is really a really bad situation, you know? So they're probably... I get it. This is a serious situation for them.

So what you're saying is that the U.S. is using weather control devices based in Alaska known as HAARP to control... I'm kidding. You know what town is going to take the biggest brunt of this water? Which town? I bet you can guess. Wuhan? You're absolutely right. No way. Weird, right? What is this? Are we already at war? Is that what's

happening? It's crazy, man. And if this dam breaks, it's kind of like a long valley all the way to Wuhan. So the water won't go anywhere but straight. So it's going to be like a 100 mile an hour, a hundred kilometer an hour tsunami coming from the mountains down, just all the way out to sea.

So it's terrible. It's like, it's crazy. But like China is under some serious pressure right now. I got a question for you. What's up? If China contacted the United States right now and said, the dam is about to break and everyone in Wuhan will die unless the United States helps us right now

and deploys and we can stop this. Should the U.S. intervene to stop the dam from breaking? Absolutely, without a doubt. But what about the Uyghurs? No doubt. We make it part of the deal. Yep. Absolutely.

We will absolutely help you. But you have to abide by this, this, this, this Yep. Absolutely. We will absolutely help you, but you have to abide by this, this, this, this, and this. We'll come help you. No doubt. I got to be honest, man. Tomorrow, we'll be there, but you have to stop all this stuff. You got to sign these treaties.

You got to do this. It's like, we want to help you. I feel bad for the Chinese citizens that have nothing to do with the CCP. I've seen lots of them that they hate the CCP. My opinion of the CCP is not high enough to believe they would accept it. They would look at Trump and he'd go, we'll let them die. You're right. That's true. I don't think they're good people. I think these are nasty authoritarians. Like I said, man, they'll lop off their own arm

if it means getting an advantage against us. And that should tell you everything you need to know about the CCP. They were welding people into their homes. Like, look, man. They literally have concentration camps. They don't care about their people. They will not give in to our demands no matter what. They're probably sitting there and the CCP is like, eh, let them die. They're probably like, we could rebuild Wuhan anyway.

Yeah, man. They got a billion, 1.4 billion people. They're going to be like, don't care. They don't care about the people who work in parts of it. You know what they were doing

during the Olympics when the Olympics came to China? They were taking the water from the farmers, the poor farmers. Oh, that's right. Yeah. The Communist Party of China

is and has been horrifying. Okay. Like, aren't they now telling people to take down pictures of Jesus in exchange and to put up Mao? Yep. Mao. Like dude that's happening and that guy was nuts scary yeah there's already been 45 million people that have been affected by the flood so far 45 million people are already are already like look at the difference there it's insane right this is crazy that the

water was a lot higher but they weren't releasing anything now they're trying to like dump as much as they can yeah so this is which one's the latest oh wow June 9th yeah that one man I mean I'm finding I haven't found this to be true but there is some people saying that they're diverting the water towards that dam to prevent it from damaging other areas that are key components yeah but but that dam is the power of three nuclear plants that's a lot of energy apparently let alone not for the necessarily for the people that are downstream but for probably a huge portion surrounding that whole area so check this out they say on this is from taiwannews.com.tw on

tuesday the Chinese financial news site Kaijing Lanyan released a controversial video that simulates the devastating flooding that would occur if the vaunted three gorges dam collapsed. The video shows the path the wall of water might take. It includes an estimate to the speed, depth and reach of the floodwaters all the way to Wuhan. The video starts out by stating the height of the dam is 181 meters above sea level. Its length is 2,355 meters, and the normal reservoir level is 175 meters, with a capacity of 39.3 kilometers cubed.

Wow! That's a lot. Ominously, the words, Once the dam breaks, appear as the animated video shows the dam disintegrate underwater do is this the video do they have it i don't think that's it's not there now no wow they said as the dist as the distance from the three gorges dam to the downstream city of yicheng is only 50 kilometers the video predicts that within 30 minutes after the dam breaks gezhoba dam will be crushed and the city of Yicheng destroyed a flood surge 20 meters in height

would strike Yicheng at a speed of 70 kilometers an hour and bury it under 10 meters of water yikes man I know wow oh is this it right here maybe I haven't seen this oh here we go

so for those that are listening just chose the damn break I can't read Chinese so I can't tell this. Oh, here we go. Here we go. So for those that are listening, just shows the dam break. I can't read Chinese, so I can't tell you what they're saying. And then it shows the water. Wow, dude. It just wiped out a city. Yep, that's the valley I was talking about. So we can see the dam waters are flooding down the river. And now it just slammed into another city.

I think that's Wuhan. Yeah. And now it's wiping out. city i think that's wuhan yeah and now it's wiping out i'm not sure if it is or not but it literally will just wipe out the entire cities and fill them with water yep so i wonder what's going on man why did they build cities there because they build them near water well the dam was probably built yeah and the water the the river shrank and then people started building they're like oh we can we can live in this area now that's crazy yeah there was a there was a a video i did on this place in i think it's called saint thomas in nevada i could be wrong but it was uh there was an old town and then when they built the dam it was the inverse

when they built the hoover dam water started to fill up on the other side, I guess. And it flooded the whole area. And so they just abandoned it. And now when the drought hit in the past few years, you could actually walk out and go to where the old foundations of the city used to be. I remember that video. Yeah, man. They're facing some serious trouble. And I have to wonder if a lot of what they're doing

might be acts of desperation because of it. Yeah. There's a lot of desperation. Or maybe there's secretly a war going on we don't know about. Maybe the whole goal of modern information age warfare is to prevent people from learning what's really happening. I mean, that sounds pretty accurate. Yeah, but like, you know, I say things like,

how would you do it? How would you be able to pull it off? And I think the reality is there's probably things we don't know about in their technology. They've probably got crazy tech we haven't yet, you know, seen publicly. You think that's what this, all this talk about, you know, not from this earth crafts that they found, you know? It's like, I mean, like, who knows? It's just because we didn't make it doesn't mean like another country could have made

it or. Right, right. So I don't know. For those that were following this, a Pentagon consultant said that they have vehicles that were made off world, not of this earth or something. I'm going to have to see that before I believe it. Yeah, I think I actually have a story from the National Review. Pentagon consultant briefed senators

on discovery of off-world vehicles not made on this Earth. The reality is he just said he concluded their off-world vehicles. So I want to keep the focus on what's going on with China, to be honest,

because the UFO stuff is the same, same old narrative. Yeah, definitely. But here's the thing. In all likelihood, whatever they discovered, I don't understand. I mean, he's an astrophysicist, so I defer to him. But why wouldn't the first assumption be, what has China invented? You know, a long, long time ago, the bow and arrow was like the pinnacle of weapons technology.

It changed the world. And when properly used on horseback, you were undefeatable. Amazing. You'd run in and be like, doom, doom, just arrow, arrow, arrow. You won the war. Like that.

And we've continually advanced our weaponry. The most powerful weapons that we know of, nuclear weapons, and more and more powerful and bigger and bigger. But is that really the most effective way to win a war? It's not. Information manipulation is. It's true.

In which case, it's not surprising to see DDoS attacks, major hacks by the Chinese government, and cyber warfare be the true warfare that we see today. Or mental manipulation. Yeah. Take it a step further. Like when you see weird companies investing in news organizations in the United States from foreign governments, and only some of them get called out.

You know, Russia today is it's complete fake news. But Al Jazeera, that's good. Yeah, fine. Same thing. And even I mean, to be fair, even the CBC and the BBC, foreign companies broadcasting in the US do not have our best interests. They're going to say things the way they want them to be portrayed for their interests, not ours. I don't know what you do about it, but I'll tell you what. We have Xinhua in the United States. And if you go to Times Square, I don't know if they still do, but for a long time, like one of the tallest advertisements

was a Xinhua advertisement. That's the Chinese state news agency, literally Chinese propaganda. It's like you don't run a company in China unless it's the government. Like they control it, you know. They are starting to build their own international space station because they want their own outposts in space. And it's like I'm pretty happy that we have a space force now because that's going to be a thing very soon. Like, I mean, to be a thing very very soon like i mean it is a thing already you know like that's the whole the whole space race was because of man going into space well we've been there we've been occupying space for over 20 years

that's amazing look if china's going to build a space station i say good you know why why competition okay space race we've been talking about needing a new space race and that could potentially be it i mean they've announced it who been talking about needing a new space race and that that could potentially be it i mean they've announced it who's talking about the space race who's talking about china making a you know a space station what are we i mean i guess i am right now when are we going to the moon do you know like trump 2024 that was the plan i mean i i haven't uh i it still is a plan that i've been reading up and artemis is still planning 2024. And doesn't China want to go to the moon now? I don't know about them, but I know that our plan is to make a space station that's going to orbit

the moon as well as a ground base also. So there's going to be two. So you can link up with the one that's orbiting the moon and then you can go down to the ground. Could you imagine living on the moon in that low gravity? Yep, I can. And we're going to have to build massive biodomes. Have you read anything about the biodome stuff, though? I've been to the biodome in Arizona.

Is it successful? It is and it isn't. I mean, yeah, it was. They were in there for two years. Wow, well, that's good enough. Sealed? Well, and they're in the space station right now. They've grown lots of different plants.

They've got wheat growing. And they do recycle moisture. They recycle air. But you still need to replenish supplies. True. So they still need Earth to like. Starship. Elon Musk, you're a boss.

The world needs you. And we appreciate you. Yeah. Reus you. Yeah. Reusable. Amazing. I have a feeling that we're going to be doing moon missions a lot. Definitely. Definitely.

I wonder, do we have to worry about the amount of fuel we have to use to make these missions last in the long run? Do we need a better means of conveyance? Definitely. do we need a better means of conveyance definitely so you know i i think about the current way that we we get off planet burning hard and liquid fuels yeah i mean do we can we make infinite supplies of that stuff that's something i i mean obviously i'm not a rocket scientist you know so i'm not sure exactly but i mean elon musk is the he he's to think about what Tesla has done. You see the new semi-trucks. They're sick looking.

Have you seen the new trucks that they're coming out with? I think so. Not like the cyber truck. I'm talking about the semi-driver. Yeah, they're beasts. But they're awesome. And they're not automated. So they're still going to be humans driving around.

It's going to be awesome. That's good for the workforce in America. But you think about what that's going with batteries, the new batteries that they're coming out with. Solid-state batteries. Right. And then the solar that we have. I mean, who knows the future of power? And that's really the key.

I'm actually talking to a couple people that are working towards that. Batteries and stuff? Just like nuclear power and just the future of energy. Well, that's what you're talking about, like getting off this planet is escaping gravity. So how are we going to do that? Anti-grav. Well, sure. I'm sure everybody's trying to figure that out.

You know what I mean? Yeah, it would be wonderful if we can have anti-grav technology. And I, yeah. Yep. That would be wonderful if that's what they drop in this Pentagon briefing. Like, well, everybody, it's anti-gravity. We've discovered it. And it's like, yes.

Like, that would be amazing. That would fundamentally change human beings. Who's that dude, the guy who revealed the Area 51 stuff? You know what I'm talking about? Bob Lazar? Yes, that's it. If I cross my fingers that he's telling the truth. I mean, I saw that documentary that he put out. I'm not a fan. I mean, I didn't get enough information. I need real source information. Statistics and actual experiments that work that I've seen.

It's like I can't do hearsay anymore. One thing that being on the show with you, I don't listen to hearsay. Someone says, hey, this is the case. I go, where's your information? Source it. If I don't get this is exactly where it's from, I'm like, get out of here. You just went down a couple notches and check this out like even even when i try to keep my news to credible sources like

that vox article you read earlier vox is not a credible source but they claim it is it is so yeah but neither is npr neither is the new york times they're all lying about you're absolutely right that's why that that it's broken man that video that I'm seeing of these celebrities going around, you should do your own research, everybody. Check multiple sources. If this mainstream media, you should just check the other mainstream media. And if they're all

saying the same thing, then that's probably what's happening. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, no. Follow it to the source of the river and see where the river's coming from. That's what you need to do. So what they're teaching is not how to do your own research. That's inaccurate.

Let me give you an analogy. It pisses me off, though. Let me give you an analogy. Based on how they described it, you see a flow of water. And you're like, ah, there's water. And one person goes, eh, I'm thirsty. I'm going to drink it. And you're like, but we should probably figure out where the water's coming from. like, ah, there's water. And one person goes, eh, I'm thirsty, I'm gonna drink it. And you're like, but we should probably figure out where the water is coming from. Well, look over there. There's water over

there, right? Must be good. That's what they're... So what you do is you walk upstream and what do you find? Hey, look, there's a bloated dead body. An elephant taking a leak into a you know, into a trench. That's way more fun. I should have went with that.

That's elephant urine. I look over my shoulder and there's the dude drinking elephant urine. And he's like, all good. And you're like, bro, bro. And he's like,

what? That's elephant piss. No, don't tell him. And he goes, shut up. You're fake news. Fake news. And you're like,

oh, dude. I'm just like, okay. And you take a picture and you walk back and go, look at the photo. I'm not looking at your dumb photo, dude. I don't need you to show me. I know it's water. I drank it. And you're like, oh, dude. I'm just like, okay. And you take a picture and you walk back and go, look at the photo. I'm not looking at your dumb photo, dude.

I don't need you to show me. I know it's water. I drank it. And you're like, oh, dude. I'm just going to keep going up a river. Oh, my goodness. That's what it's like every day. Every day.

I know. I'm swimming in that. Trying to upsweep. Swim up that stream of elephant piss. Swim up the stream to get to the source. Past the elephant. That's actually a better analogy. Yeah. It's a river and you jump in it and you stream to get to the source. Past the elephant. That's actually a better analogy. Yeah.

It's a river, and you jump in it, and you're swimming to find the source, and it's a field of elephants all simultaneously just pissing in a trench. And you're like, oh, man. But you had to swim through it. There's a tiny little stream of fresh water. Right. And you can see it, but you have to get through the elephants. You got to swim through the elephants first.

Right past them. It's a poignant analogy. I like it, but you have to get through the elephants. You gotta swim through the elephants first. Right past them. That's a poignant analogy. I like it. It was a rhino. No, it was a hippo. Actually, you know what I'm talking about. Right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, my gosh. Another way to explain it, though, is you swim upstream, and there's one guy, and he goes, it's water. And you're like, have you gone further upstream? No, but I'm sure it's water. And then the guy downstream says, well, that guy upstream says it's water, so it must be water. There it is. And all the people in the village are like, look, those three guys all upstream said it was water.

And you're like, I made it to the source. It is about 100 elephants pissing in a trench. And then they're going to be like, I don't know. Whoa, I need a source. No, they say, well, why should I believe you? Those three people said it was water. Yeah. I checked my sources.

Yeah. I checked my sources. I checked sources, yeah. And then the problem is, you know, my first reaction is, well, why don't I just not drink from it? I'll be okay, right? Except the mayor has announced, based on the information of these men, they're going to replace their new plumbing system with the great new supply of water. And you're like yelling, stop, stop. No. We can't do this. And they're like, you're a conspiracy theorist.

You're fake news. And they don't believe you. And that's where we are. And you're desperately trying to tell people to stop drinking the elephant's urine. But they just don't care. They're like, you're fake news. If what you're saying was true, then other people would be saying it. And you're like, okay.

All right. Fine. Drink the elephant urine urine it's even better the guys upstream who are insisting it's water have awards for telling you the water is water yeah they've like well this golden award i got paid for because i announced that this stream was water yes this is a pulitzer all right i had to apply for it but we need an un-pulitzer yes like that there was that article that i um those close to the president say he has no one close to him. The Pulitzer, man.

Come on. Yeah, I don't want to sully my name with with mocking people like the Razzies. But there's that article from Huffington Post. Those close to the president say he has no one close to him. And like my head exploded when I saw that. It was like fake news. you know what it is a lot of it is just there's really really dumb people in this world and they're now taking over news organizations yep exactly and what do you do this and uh social media for example I just uh I just caught

something in chat that I had to just check. What is it? KingFreeSpeech just got suspended on Twitter. I checked him earlier when we talked about him. I was like, oh yeah, there it is. He's the dude from Portland who was trying to stop Antifa from breaking it down. You got him banned. And I just checked his Twitter account. Suspended.

It's not banned. It's suspended. I don't know what the difference is. As soon as you mentioned it, they dug into it and they nuked him so i i mean if why why am i not nuked then i don't know man you know they i'm sure if they got rid of him they want to get rid of me they're careful to get rid of people who are in higher profile positions they go for people before they get too big so you may have jumped the you know jumped the line by getting a bunch of followers real quick. Look, when they banned Adam's video where he announced he was supporting Trump, it's now got over 900,000 views on YouTube. Our video just reporting on it.

So not even the original video of me saying what we were saying. The original video did well. Right. And then once they banned it, it was at 2.4 million views. There were actually a couple different uploads. They all get deleted. And then we do a segment because I'm like, I'm not going to stand for that. We're going to talk about it.

Now that video has 900,000. That's why they avoid it. Who's this? So this guy, they're probably thinking no one's going to notice if we get rid of him quickly. Well, we noticed. Someone pointed out in chat. What was his user handle? How long ago is it?

It's been an hour since we talked about him. How many followers did he have? I don't know. I didn't read. King Free Speech? King Free Speech. I mean, you can check him. Let me see if I can find him on Instagram if he's still.

Because my original video that I saw was on It's Not Even Up Here Anymore. What is? So when I searched for him, there was the Twitter account and the Instagram account. The Instagram account. I don't even see it anymore. What is? So when I searched for him, there was the Twitter account and the Instagram account. The Instagram account, I don't even see it anymore. On Google? Yeah.

No, I use DuckDuck, but it showed, you know, there was the Twitter account, which I see, and I clicked, and it's suspended. And the Instagram account

was there before, an hour ago. Well, pull up his Instagram. Let me see if I can find it. Well, I don't have Instagram. This is the true thing about cancel culture and social media and how they censor people. What people don't realize, they're like, oh, only a small handful of people got suspended.

And you're like, that's not true. It was a small handful of high profile people. There's actually tens of thousands, if not more, dozens who have been banned who are not very high profile. They don't get any attention. And they get no attention. Yeah. There's no one because if, you know, most of these people who get suspended have a few hundred followers like a normal person and they get suspended, they can't do anything

about it. I've gone to parties where I've met people. We did an event and one guy was like, I had 300 followers and I got suspended. I don't know why. He's still on Instagram. He's still on Instagram. Yep. So go follow him.

Go follow this guy. To be fair, maybe he tweeted something and they suspended't know why. He's still on Instagram. He's still on Instagram. Yep. So go follow him. Go follow this guy. To be fair, maybe he tweeted something and they suspended him for it. Yeah, who knows? But I'll tell you this, man. I've seen this story play out over and over again.

Someone goes and does something, they don't break any rules and they get nuked before you realize it. And there's nothing you can do about it. Twitter, I think, I'm pretty sure Twitter

knows what they're doing. They've skewed the idea of acceptable social opinions so far to the left that even just under half of far leftists are scared to speak their opinions. Now, one funny thing is I will mention this too. When we did that segment on the Cato Institute that found that half of the far left, slightly less than half, is scared to speak up their opinions. Somebody commented saying then they must have even more extreme opinions than we know of. And I'm thinking like, yeah, I'd imagine if they were on the far left, maybe they would actually be further left than we realize or authoritarian or extremist. Oh, man. And what I think of them, they're way over there.

Like nuts, man. I can't even see them. I can't see them from where I am. Maybe they're all the way right now. I don't even know. It's this weird leftist identitarianism. And they embrace it. They love it. They're evil racists. They're part of a family now.

They've gotten their click. Finally, they've got a collective and they're part of something. Little did they know, America's a great thing to be a part of that they don't even realize. I love this country. Well, they want to they want to destroy it. And I think I think I think it's the only thing they really want to do is destroy. It's a chaotic, destructive force that has been growing.

And unfortunately, and I hate to say it, but it's true. Liberalism has allowed it to has fostered. It has allowed to grow that's one of its weaknesses it is when we i say this all the time that because we accept free speech and freedom and individual liberties we allow collectivists and evil people an opportunity to grow and spread their ranks it's just a reality yeah and we and i and i won't abandon those principles we just have to make sure that those principles can overcome these evil people you know where I think this came from I think this came from our religious roots

I think this came from Christianity because I've heard it said from multiple different sources that Christianity or a religion like that contains the seeds of its own destruction because it's fostering curiosity and it's fostering a search for truth so when you start to look for truth in science you're planted the seeds of your own destruction.

You're going to undermine religion. Well, look at China right now. They're getting rid of religion. You're not allowed to be religious in China anymore. Exactly. They're not just getting rid of Jesus and telling people. Everything. Yeah, they're squashing all religion.

That's insane what's going on in China right now. Well, that's what the concentration camps are for the Uyghurs. Yep, exactly. How about we hop over to them super chats? Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't already, it is imperative that you smash the like button. That's right. Smash it. Smash.

Subscribe. Notification bell. More importantly, share the show. Definitely. Share it. If you really do like it, sharing. We will never be able to compete with the likes of CNN. Yes.

Whoa, whoa. I don't know, man. You think never be able to compete with the likes of CNN. Yeah. Whoa, whoa. I don't know, man. You think too little of yourself. Let me clarify. I mean in the immediate time frame. Eventually CNN will collapse under the weight of its failures. Right. And run out of money and then beg us for it.

And then they'll come to us for jobs and we'll say no. Ha ha. It reminds me of that line from Watchmen with Rorschach in the beginning. And he's like, the hordes of scum, disgusting journalists who failed at their job will come to us and say, please employ us. And I'll look down and say, no. I look forward to that day. In order to get there, you're going to have to share this podcast with people because you like it. I just realized it wasn't spinning. It's almost like sacrilege.

What? Our marketing budget. Our marketing budget is zero. But the concurrent viewers clicking share and sharing the video is a more powerful marketing budget than CNN could ever muster. So thank you. Nobody wants to share CNN stuff. Thank you. Right.

Well, let's read some here. Super chats. Crown Mark says, the media needs to have an oversight committee, the same as the police do. They need to be held liable for slander and unsourced treasonous rhetoric. Well, they need to be held

accountable for libel and slander for sure, but we gotta be careful because the First Amendment means bad people say bad things sometimes and they get away with it. Gotta be careful. Ian Hall says three purposes for the super. One, beanie for the cat. Oh, that's a good idea. Two, boogaloo kit for the cat.

Very good idea. And three, new Birkenstocks for Soy Jesus. His have to be getting ready. Okay. Only if they're from Sweden. Lauren says, if Native American reservations are tax-free, why aren't American companies engaging them?

Also, China is weaponizing dams. They've created droughts in neighboring countries by manipulation of water flow. Every neighbor of China hates them. Yeah, I actually talked about the fact that I think they were engaging India. I didn't know this for a fact, but I felt like it was because of the water sources that were from the mountains there.

And I mean, water is going to be the most important commodity in the future. We need water to survive. It wouldn't surprise me that they're actually doing that because I don't remember what documentary I was digging into, but it was about water. Like it goes into Mexico and talks about Mexico City and their issues that they're dealing with water, which is a serious issue also. But it also talks about Pakistan and India and how they've been feuding over water sources and how it comes from the mountains. And that's where China is fighting India, right?

That's where they've been fighting. I don't know if it's continuing on but one day we will look back and laugh about how we used to flush fresh water down the toilet we're gonna and you're gonna be a little can be like is it true grandpa you would flush fresh water down the toilet that's right now pass me a 30 bottle of water thank you Thank you. Right. Yep. Benjamin the Rogue. This one's for you, Adam. Okay. Adam, my girlfriend said that Tim inviting you onto Timcast has got to be the best and worst thing that's happened to you this last year. It's definitely been a wild ride of elephant liquids.

Honestly, it's just been the best because I'm all about moving forward in life. And I don't look back. I always try to plot the path forward. And I feel like that's what a lot of people need to do. They need to stop complaining about the past and just looking at the past. Because that's what a lot of these people are doing. They're just like, they're looking backwards and complaining. Like walking backwards. Like yelling at the past.

Instead of looking forward and seeing what to do. They think that that's what they're doing, but it's not what they're doing. You know, so coming on the show and becoming politically aware, I guess would be the best way to put it or not even politically like there's I am. I'm looking into a lot of things like I've never been more into space. I mean, I've always loved space, you know, but like now I'm starting to really understand a lot more about it. I'm following everything that's happening.

And it's it's great. I would never go back. I look forward to getting on this little getting off this pale blue dot and getting out to a pale red dot at some point. That sounds fun. You'd move to Mars or at least go visit. It depends on the level of I don't know if in our lifetime we'll have. I bet. Dude, I'm sure.

Like, look at technology advancements over the past hundred years. And population growth. We're going to occupy Mars, dude. But I mean, like, will we have back and forth trips? I think so. I think there's going to be major breakthroughs over the next couple decades. It's going to be amazing. That would be nice.

Yeah. I truly believe that. Let's see. Gieli says, thanks for the hard work, Tim and crew. Have you seen Trump's four executive orders on lowering drug costs he signed this afternoon? What are your thoughts on it? Yeah, I did see that he did that. I don't know a whole lot about it, though.

Did you see? I haven't read through them yet. So I like to read things. I was doing a lot of editing today, so I kind of took a little break. I actually uploaded my Trump Donald Trump deep dive from last Saturday. I had to take it down for a few things. I re-uploaded it today, and so I missed that. But I did see it, so I'm excited because that's amazing. We need access to these things. I have to read it because I'm curious what the executive authority over drug prices would be. Yeah, good point.

Yeah, maybe something to do with the ACA and how he can change things maybe. Yeah. Cole says, every single house on my block was robbed or vandalized. People came down from KC and looted the place. When will the madness end? Whoa, where? Where's that? Kansas City.

That Kansas City? People came down from Kansas City? That's crazy. KC, that's what makes it. I don't know. Josh in Jesus says, says guys i've always thought that uh britney pettibone and the two laurens chen and southern basically invented the space for young conservative women that is now so huge online do you agree um i'm not entirely sure

lydia lydia's shaking her head i don't really think so because i think there have always been conservative women i actually found a conservative women's group just a little bit ago that focused on women on campus, which are like the literal tiniest minority you can possibly imagine. If you consider how liberal most young women are. So I'm glad that the Lawrence and Brittany give conservative women a voice online, but I think that they're out there. They're just busy.

They're living life and doing stuff and working and stuff. Yeah. And working, working towards the future. Exactly. Which is a good thing to do. But I'm happy to have those ladies. We have a great super chat.

Mark says, Hey, Pim, have you seen that interview by Bori Yasminov about useless savants preventing our nation from becoming a hip country with free stuff? Huge fan of Eve and Liam. Oh, damn you. That was great.

Yes, yes. Those useless individuals preventing our country from truly becoming a great nation of free stuff. Wait, what was that interview again? Burry, Burry? Burry, yes.

Burry, you can know? Yeah. The prom mic says, I live in Washington State. Thank you for being reputable and giving me a safe haven in the midst of true insanity. This crew is what gives me hope.

And Adam, that includes your change of heart. Again, thank you. I no longer need to be the silent majority. Hear, hear. Yeah. Thank you for speaking up. If that's what you're alluding to. I appreciate you.

Talav says, Trump 2020. Tim is a fence sitter. Still love you though. Yeah, pretty much on a lot of issues, I would say. But I think at a certain point now, I think the desperation of the Democrats has cleared the much on a lot of issues i would say but i think at a certain point now i think the desperation of the democrats has made has cleared the fog yeah for a lot of issues for a lot of people yep also yeah that's why trump you know trump's approval in rasmussen is is tied now rasmussen like a week ago had trump down 10 points okay today it's it's approval and disapproval are tied even trump according to rasmussen trump's approval and disapproval are tied, even. According to Rasmussen, Trump's approval among black voters is 43%.

Oh, that's really good, isn't it? If that's true, Trump is going to win in a landslide, guaranteed. It's just Rasmussen, though. Now, here's the issue. People say Rasmussen is biased towards the president. Certainly, Rasmussen tweets are very biased in favor of the right, I suppose. Okay. But they often go back to their

their methodology and they were one of the most accurate polls if not like the most accurate in 2016 they got the margin correct hillary point two up two points up and all that stuff so if their tracking is correct right now and i think it look when you look at this opposition to black lives matter going up since the riots. True. And then you see Rice Reason saying Trump's approval is starting to go up with the law enforcement. Wow. That correlates. Yep. So we can only make assumptions because we don't have a complete picture.

We just have these tidbits. Sounds legit. And the media is just trying to escalate and make people afraid even more. Yep. It's too late. It's too late, media. It's too late. The veil has late, media. It's too late. The veil has been lifted.

We all see you. Well, we do. And we try hard every day. It's happened, man. People are waking up. This is why it's very important that you guys share not not just the live show, because the live show is more like it's raw. So you don't know what you're going to get.

But we put up the segments the next day. So so listen, you'll see this show and the title of this is Democrats lose case against feds. Judge says Trump can keep operating in Portland. If you share that, people are going to be like, I'm not super interested in what that means necessarily. But we did a segment about how the media lies about Trump the other day that I think went up. Did it go up today? The Bloomberg one? Yeah, I think so. If you share a segment like that specifically, you can be like, listen to these guys talk about how the media lied, and you'll

understand. That's what we hope for. That people will finally realize it is a combination of gross ineptitude and willful deception in the media, and we get to swim in the muck and the mire trying to figure out what's really going on, and even we don't get it right all the time. The elephant urine. Elephant urine. It's't get it right all the time elephant urine elephant urine

when I see people arguing there you'll find them everywhere. I'm sure you've been involved in these arguments with people I mean if you're online the easiest thing you can do is be like I don't need to explain everything Here's everything that I've learned from these guys. They broke they we sit and talk about it We you know, we do the the work for you. So sit and talk about it. We do the work for you. So here, drop it down. Watch this. A lot of time, you get those people. I don't need to watch that to

know that this is water instead of elephant urine. Or they just plug their ears and go, But every so often, you get those people that are like, alright, I'll watch it. I'll check it out. Yeah. So share, you know, share those videos. And if you know, and it's they're very clearly labeled.

So you can check it out. And you can do funny things. Like if someone says the claims to have watched it, you can say the point he made over it, like at the nine minute 17 mark was really interesting because, you know, what did you think about that? And they'll be like, oh, I don't know. Let me check. Yeah.

I'll have to watch it. Yeah. Sure. check. I'll have to watch it. Yeah, sure. Yeah, use that. Dean Badger says, if people are afraid to say they support Trump, might they be afraid to vote for him? Because if he loses, the left might say, OK, let's find out who voted for him. Time for reeducation or worse. It's possible to.

More importantly, interesting. Trump's donations are way lower than they should be because donations are public record. And somebody made a map of trump donors wow they are trying to scare people into not even donating to trump yep well it doesn't matter they're all voting for him anyway are you voting for him i haven't disclosed that or decided but i don't have a lot of options do i i think you're voting for him. We'll see what happens. Whatever. There's a little time yet. You both are. Yeah, we'll see what happens. I know I am.

Proudly. Cole asks, Tim, are you getting any attachments for your newly acquired firearms? I mean, probably. But the first thing we had to do is we're relocating to a bigger facility. And then once we do that, finding a good range to go down and practice and stuff. I did get a nice.22, just a rifle, just for the sake of target fun at the range and stuff. This was recommended to me. So maybe we'll see what the experts recommend.

Yeah,.22s are fun to shoot. Yeah, just about targets. That's what I was told. I mean, it's a weapon. You know what I mean? That's true. Matt H. says,'s, you know. Matt H says,

Live in Louisville. Look forward to the feds getting here. Never thought I'd say that as a libertarian. Being the only blue district in a sea of red, the derangement is tenfold here. These people need a wake-up call. Yeah. Well, share the news with them.

You know, talk to them. And always remember, be polite. Don't insult. And if they don't accept it, like, I'll tell you what, talk to them and always remember, be polite, don't insult. And if they don't accept it, like, I'll tell you what, man, think about this is what I always, this is why I always think about when I'm getting into arguments on Facebook, whatever, somebody will start screaming and they'll yelling and they'll insult and I'll never do that. You know why? Other people will see the thread. And if they see you saying, I'm sorry, you're upset. I didn't mean to upset you. And the other guy says, F you, you, you know, fascist or whatever. Then people are going to come in and be like, this guy's crazy.

This guy's being nice. Right. And it's going to make them be like, I'd rather talk to the guy who's nice. Now, I've talked about this all the time because Trump supporters learned this a long time ago. The analogy, and this is not even an analogy. This is literal reality. If you walk up to Antifa, like let's say you walk up to a bar and you're in Washington, D.C. There's Antifa across you protesting.

Inside the bar is a bunch of Trump supporters drinking. You walk up to the Antifa people and they'll be like, who are you with? Who are you with? What are you doing here? What do you want? Who are you? You walk over to the Trump side and they'll be like, yo, come over and have a beer. I'll get your first round. Come have a conversation. What's going on, buddy? It's that kind of

attitude. That's the kind of attitude you need to have be nice to people don't be don't be antifa yeah let's see bretton says headed out to go camping up in their mountains of idaho for the weekend yes stay out unless you're cute tim hope you uh hope you three have a great weekend and we'll catch up with this show monday will do thank you murder kara says if you're interested i can invite one of you to the Cowlitz County Facebook page

showing several hours of a protester stream from Portland. Lots of swearing against police forces. Well, that's just par for the course for these people,

to be honest. True. Robin says, dearest Tim and crew, did you get the comic I sent you? Did you share it with Adam and Lydia?

You mentioned graphic novels and it slipped my mind until just then. Keep up the good work. Was it My Hero Magademia? Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of. Yeah. That's the only one I've seen.

Well, we've gotten more than one comic. Oh, that's the only one I've seen. Yeah, there's a bunch of really funny Trump comics. Okay. Yeah, Trump Punch Man, I think, is one of them. Oh, cool. That was a while ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Those are hilarious. The My Hero Magademia one is amazing. Bretton says, oh, and Spoofo, the fence toast. Woohoo! I don't know what to do. I feel like there's something I should be doing, but... Spoofo. I got nothing. Let's see. Crispy5 says,

I'm a 20-year-old who sits socially left, economically right kind of mindset, and I could never find anyone to get actual news from that wasn't biased one way or the other. I love all three of you guys in this community. Thank you for being the real news and spin the UFO. Now, to be honest, I think we're biased. Of course, I am definitely biased. I'll admit it. Like I like the president, the current sitting president. I'm a fan of I like his policies. I like I am. I approve of him. I'm going to vote for him. So that makes me biased.

I'm okay with it. At this point, I think the Democrats have abandoned too much. So for me, it's more of – you know what? I'll put it this way. It's not so much that I support the president, but that the water level has lowered so much you can see the island emerging of support. Where it's like it used to be the water was high and I was like, no, not that guy. But now that the Democrats have taken away all hope, abandoned all hope, I'm like, well, the best thing I can do is.

And reason. Yeah. The worse they get, the worse the riots get, the worse the leadership gets and the worse intersectionalism gets, the more I'm like, I think we need to grab onto that post before the waters sweep us away. Yeah. Now, I'll be fair. I think Trump's trade policy stuff was correct.

There's not been a good argument placed against him. The most important thing I see when it comes to this political stuff, they're not arguing against him. Literally not. They're saying, but he's sending out secret police. Well, he's not doing that. Well, but he's a fascist, but he's not sending out secret police. But this has never happened in the country before. But he's not doing that.

It doesn't matter what you say. This is how I feel about my facts that I got from my emotions. If the Democrats came out and said something like, Trump shouldn't be using PACT, what he needs to do is set up a coalition with local police leadership and send in only U.S. Marshals, I'd be like, that's an interesting point. You think Trump's, no, they're not even saying that. They're lying about everything. So if the only thing I'm hearing my left ear is lies, and from Trump, I hear things that are partially disagreeable, I'll be like, well, I'll take the guy who's partially disagreeable. Not that Trump doesn't lie, but the Democrats has been nothing but no arguments, lies, hate, rage, and chaos. So true.

Yep. Let's see. We read that one. Daniel Slezak says, Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandman announced on Friday that his legal team has settled its $250 million defamation lawsuit with the Washington Post. Yes, I heard that. Yes. I'd be willing to bet he got much less than a million dollars. Really?

Oh, definitely. Okay. You sue for $250. We won't know, but I'd be willing to bet it could be in the hundreds of thousands. But he got something out of them. He won. So he won. He won.

Good for him. You know why these – so when this first came out, all these news organizations were laughing like, ha-ha. And all these people on the left were like, what an entitled brat. He's going to lose, and now he's winning all of them. I mean, in the video, he's just literally an entitled brat. He's going to lose. And now he's winning all of them. I mean, in the video, he's just literally just sitting there. He didn't do anything. Yeah. They tried to argue that because someone filmed him, he became an involuntary public figure.

And that is such BS. Yeah, definitely. So you're standing somewhere and someone films you and now you're a public figure? No, no, no. That's a slippery slope. He's still not a public figure. Right. He doesn't speak in public.

He's not a professional in any means where we need to know what he thinks and what. Right. He doesn't speak in public. He's not a professional in any means where we need to know what he thinks and what he does. He doesn't write about anything. He's not a public figure. He was a minor.

And we just know his name. That's it. He just turned 18 today. What, today's his birthday? Yeah. Happy birthday, Nick. Happy birthday. Right?

That's cool. TM says, a Chinese company bought the company I worked for, a large insurer in 2016. They sold it to a domestic insurer one year later for a 500 million dollar profit china is intelligent in their ability to take money out of the country yeah i believe it yep boycott china let's see agent miami says did you know the original anarchist per true definition johnny rotten from sex pist, is a Trump supporter?

Also, Muse and Radiohead have great political songs. Muse, Uprising, and Radiohead, The Numbers. Maybe you could do a cover. We can't because of copyright law stuff. I would love to cover music. I think I knew that about Johnny Rotten. I'm not entirely sure, though. That's crazy.

I didn't know that. Can I play a song and not monetize the song? And let the video be out there? They will just claim it. So, yes. But, okay. So, if they monetize it, I don't monetize it. Commercials will appear on it. They get the money.

You can do the video. I think that might be worth it. I mean, I play a lot of covers. Specific songs that I've learned throughout the years that have helped influence me musically. You know, So I like playing those songs. They take your video from you, though. I mean, it's still on my channel. No, I just mean like if

you're going to make a video that's only a song, then it might make sense. But if you did like a full production... No, no, no. It would just be me playing live. Right, right, right. Cool, cool. Let's see. Alright. Ario says, my sister overheard bits of your Wednesday podcast while i was listening and reacted exactly the way you make fun of the leftist echo chambers and does the

same thing with most political topics is that what like scoffing at what we were saying or what i'm not entirely sure probably i don't know what we learned something feels like so long ago yeah we learned something crazy i'm not gonna say its, but Amazon has a little robot, and you can actually ask the little robot to play the TimCast IRL podcast. You can? It's so cool. And it does. That's true. That felt really good. I was like, wow, I feel like I've made it. You feel like that.

You've been in this industry for a while. I feel like I've made it. But on YouTube, now we got the robots. That's true. So people could walk in a room and be like play that tim cast irel and it does like wow it's pretty cool i can't wait to get what we've got uh the animations are getting done for will of the people this oh and i can't wait till i can get that up on stuff it's gonna be fun yeah fire sign says watch epoch times documentary about the three gorges

dam it was finished in 2015 oh wow a wow. A while ago. Lots changed. Let's see where we're at. Here we go. No, no. Oh, it just jumped. There we go. I just saw it jump. TheKillerStove says, As corny as it sounds, with great power comes great responsibility. Had a huge impact on my worldview growing up. I think Tim

is right on the money. We need heroes, not just protagonists, but heroes we can aspire to be like. I completely, yeah, absolutely. Fry Kitty says Magoya 2020. It's not much, but I enjoy listening to you guys every night and wanted to support you. Appreciate the honest news. Thank you very much. Thank you. Let's see. Terry Clark says, dude, you realize all the lithium for batteries is strip mined in China using slave labor and child labor. Yeah, I heard that before, right? Is that? Yeah, I researched a lot of it.

We got more things I got to get into the every day. The more I research, the more I find out it's that it's probably something terrible that I'm going to be bummed. Mark McConnell says Western Canada conservative here. You guys rule my media outlet for USA. Trump or 2020, media and left are brutal here as well. Trudeau has to go. Keep up the great reporting and conversations.

We will do our best. Thank you. Dark Matter says, Adam, what's up? Saw you started your own show. Props to Tim allowing you to use the equipment. Smash. Also smash like on Adam's channel. Thank you. Well, Adam's actually going to have his own studio. I am. That's right. Oh, thank you. Well, Adam's actually going to have his own studio. I am. That's right.

We're expanding beyond belief. It's going to be like, we're going to have a gaming studio finally. Yeah. We like built 10% of it. But now we're actually going to have like an area with like a nice couch and like big TV. Yep.

So we're going to do some D&D. We're going to do some, what other games should we play? Well, we've got the cancel culture game coming. True. When that finishes, we'll unveil that. I'm not going to say some... What other games should we play? Well, we've got the Cancel Culture game coming. True. When that finishes, we'll unveil that. I'm not going to say the person's name, but we just tapped a very, very excellent comedic artist. He's great.

Yeah. He's awesome. Very funny. He is awesome. And I'll ask him if he cares. We mentioned it. But I think... I don't think he's going to mind.

Should we just say? I don't know. I think he's excited about the project. All right, I'll just say. So you guys know Freedom Tunes? Of course we do. Seamus? He does Freedom Tunes.

You guys know what Freedom Tunes is. Well, if you don't, you should. Definitely. Go check him out, man. It's hilarious. Awesome. Yeah, his content is hilarious. And he's doing the basic art for a card game that we're making called Cancel Culture.

It's going to be like an out of the box party card game where you basically are your goal is to cancel your opponent it's going to be a it's very very easy to play very simple yeah and we've got a bunch of card designs we've got a bunch the mechanics are basically built that we've got to play test it and refine a little bit but we're gonna have a card game and you'll be able to open up a pack and you'll have your Peter Jordanson card and your wet Brine Stein card don't give too much information away yeah but we're not the only ones have done something like this I think we're just we're gonna do it right as as people who played magic the gathering and are familiar with card games yeah we have keen insight we originally made

this ridiculously complicated game and then we had to like just trash it we were like there's no one is gonna learn to learn how to play this, dude. This is nuts. It was fun, though. I do see a lot of people in chat asking about, Adam has a channel? What? It's pretty easy to find. It's AdamCastIRL.

That's it on YouTube. You can find me. I actually am going to be uploading some music. It's just going to be my new show. I do it on Saturdays. We're currently in the middle of moving, and we got equipment to set up my own studio as tim just mentioned so i probably won't have the show for a couple weeks um but it'll be once once i'm back with adam cast it's going to be huge we're gonna have really excited yeah so we're setting up a bigger facility that can do a

lot more and one of the things we're going to do is like a fact-checking division, like a literal news site that's going to function as like a here's why this is not real. So imagine if someone said there's unidentified troops and you could go to a fact-checking site that said here's where all of these different sites said it was true and here's the judge and here's the video, here's the photo. And you're like here's the photo showing the markings. So you can literally be like, dude, just read this. Just don't even – and then people will be like, I don't believe you. There's a photo. Well, there's a court order. There's the photo showing the marking so you can literally be like dude just read this just don't even and then people will be like i don't believe you there's a photo well there's a court order there's the judge's ruling then why are all of these fake because they're fake news fake news exists it's real and you know what i want to do too one one of the long-standing plans has been to take the the last 100 articles that any news news outlet has published and do an ethics check where we basically use Reuters and the SPJ's standard journalistic ethics.

We'll have people go through them to look for violations. And if they get a violation, they get an X. We then say, you know, X out of 100 articles were legit ethical journalism. Nice. And then you can click it and we'll give you the actual spreadsheet. Here are the last 100 articles we reviewed. Here are the reasons why we marked these videos with an ethics violation. Well, I, for one, will be grateful for that site.

I'm going to be using it a lot. So here's what will happen. You'll go to New York Times and you'll use our extension or something. And it'll say the New York Times, out of the previously sampled 100 articles, they have a score of 70 out of 100. 30 of the articles we pulled from their news division contained violations of journalistic ethics. Then you'll find like Vox

and it'll have like a 37 out of 100 and it'll be like only 37 met our standards, met the standards of Thomson Reuters and SPJ. And then you'll find a lotuters and SPJ. Yeah. And then you'll find a lot of sites have none. You know, the funniest thing about it's going to be though, when certain like right wing sites score like, like, I mean, like more fringy blogs and end up with like a 40 and Vox ends up with a 30.

And then it's going to be like, look, I think this is a bad source that I wouldn't use. Right. But look at Vox. Like Vox is going to be, listen, one of the, one bad source that I wouldn't use. Right. But look at Vox. Like, Vox is going to be... Listen, one of the things... I really do believe it's possible that Vox ends up with a zero out of 100. Wow. Because they don't label their articles as opinion.

And that's a violation of journalistic ethics. That's a good point. So we might just be like, Vox is purported to be a news website, but all of their articles are opinions. Almost every single one. Now, the thing about The Daily Wire, which is Ben Shapiro and shapiro and whatever i think actually he's not the editor-in-chief anymore as he is he is i think he is oh he stepped down he stepped down yeah if it's if it's literally just an opinion site we're not going to give someone a negative you know ethics because a

strike because they're at a commentary site doing commentary. If they purport to be explaining the news like Vox does, and it's literally just leftist opinion, yeah, sorry. That's a violation of ethics. You're a lying dog-faced pony soldier. That's true. They certainly are. Alright, we got this big old super chat here. Will Stewart says, a big issue going on in this election that no one is talking about politically

is that a lot of evangelicals are becoming cultural Marxists and promoting critical theory and will be voting Bideniden no one is talking about this i don't know i guess i'm not an evangelical so i i don't know i don't know either yeah yeah they said trump's losing the evangelical vote which he needs i don't i don't i don't believe it after they desecrated mary and jesus they cut off jesus's head on on across the country that that pissed me off like are you kidding me? They're burning churches.

They're chopping Jesus' head off. Burning statues of Mary. What? Evangelicals aren't Catholics. So what? They hold Mary in almost no esteem. What about Jesus? They don't care about statues. They really don't care. They're not Catholics. I think catholics would have a really strong reaction so we'll see

i mean it's i'm not religious and i'm upset about i know i am this country is if we got the freedom of religion like absolutely are they americans are they proud of this country probably i hope so yeah it's a good place to be yeah well ladies and gentlemen for it it is 10 o'clock so that means you have to smash the like button. It means subscribe. And it also means the normal course of the show is coming to an end. But it is Friday. Yes.

And Friday is jam day. So we're going to chill. Adam, you didn't bust up the whiskey. I've got to go get it. He's got to go get it. I'm going to go get it now. We're on a mission. So for those that stuck with us for the show, thanks for hanging out. The commentary portion is mostly over.

Normally we would just end the show and then go to sleep or something. Eat ice pops. What are they called? Outshine bars. It's like all fruit ice cream or something. But because it's Friday, we're going to hang out and play some music.

Adam will probably play a couple songs. I think I'll just play one. We just chill. But then once we wrap up, maybe in like 20 or 30 minutes, we'll come back and talk for a little bit more before we finally do wrap up the show. So if you're not down with a jam session from me and Adam, thank you for hanging out. Subscribe.

Check out the show Monday through Friday. We put up clips. Share the clips. Hit the notification bell, like button, all that good stuff. But now it's time. Now it is time for one of the biggest shows of the year. You see, no one's doing live music right now. And there are 36,619 of you as I speak. And if you stick around, you'll be watching Adam.

And this may be one of the biggest live performances of the year. Now I get it. There's probably more famous people doing, you know, live broadcast music than just us. I saw Tool in Phoenix this year, so. Oh, okay. That counts. I did go see a pretty big show. Yeah, but that was before COVID, wasn't it? True, but it was 2020. It counts. Yeah. So of this year, sure. Okay, okay.

Semantics, semantics. Since the coronavirus took over. Although I don't know how many people can fit into that stadium in Phoenix, but... Probably not 35,000 to 36,000. How's it going? We good on... You're good to go, brother. Well, cheers, everyone.

Thanks for joining us. Today I'm trying some Ardbeg. We good on, uh... You're good to go, brother. Well, cheers, everyone. Thanks for joining us. Mmm. Today, I'm trying some Ardbeg. I like that peaty whiskey, you know? I'm a big, uh... Big peaty guy. This is called Taking It Back. I haven't played this one in a little while, so...

I'm gonna play this one. If I was a younger man, I'd probably make the same mistake twice. The closer the heart is, the harder it becomes to do what's right. Even through the thick and thin, secretly we want to win. Well, I'm taking it back, taking it back, taking it back It's time to confess our sins Whoa, before this world you've built crumbles away I've spent some time lost in my mind, disappointed Well, that's just the sting from expecting And that's what you get

Oh, it happens all the time A high tide of the mind Struggling for oxygen Oh, and taking it back, taking it back, taking it back Is the only option Oh, before this world you've built crumbles away It started with cold feet, let me begin again Hindsight's obviously the clearest option

I'm taking it back with all that I believe in Everything happens, I won't fight the reason You say you've learned from your mistakes that you're experienced And then comes the day from left field as they say, has left you in a daze. Oh, that happens all the time, that high tide of the mind, struggling for oxygen. Oh, and taking it back, taking it back, taking it back Cause the only option Before that world you built crumbles away It started with cold feet, let me begin again Hindsight's obviously the clearest option

I'm taking it back with all that I believe in. Everything happens, I won't fight the reason. Woo! Just sitting here chilling. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Chilling in this here studio room. Are you coming over? He's coming over. Oh boy. All right.

I think I'll just play one, man. Yeah. He says just one. Yeah, because I've got a couple songs I've been working on. He always says just one. Yeah, he always says it. I mean, yeah, how's it going, everybody? Oh, man. What a week. What a week.

2020 has been a crazy, crazy time. I'm just going to play something that is a crowd favorite. Is this a, let me. Sounds good. something that crowd favorite is this let me Hopefully I'm playing it right. Remember when We used to fight for peace When villains weren't only on TV screens My heart is made up Of broken hopes and dreams that take me back into mediocrity.

Taking more, taking spite of this, and focus on the ways I guess you never change that day It's hard to believe that you mean nothing to me Cause you used to be everything Everything Remember when We used to hope for peace But heroes were only on TV screens The markets made up Of broken hopes and dreams I'll take my place in this story

Two, three, four Taking more, taking spite of this And focus on the ways I really wish you'd change that day It's hard to believe that you mean nothing to me

Cause you used to be everything There are words in a book About what we've been through And there are lines in the scripts Written for me and you So take it all inside And pray it works

Another aching in your heart starts to burn Take it more, take in spite of this Focus on the ways I really wish you'd change someday It's hard to believe but I'm moving on with my dreams Cause you were never there for me There are words in a book About what we've been through And there are lines in a script written for me and you

So take it all in stride and pray it works Another aching in your heart starts to burn guitar solo yeah Yeah. I'm just going to do that one song for today, man. You want to play one? Yeah, I'll play one more.

I can hear my throat crack. I'm not, I'm not. You don't want to risk it? No. Tim's going to be careful of his voice. Happy to hear it. Last night, lose another week like last night. No, you can't do it.

Yeah, we don't want to lose you. I like working too much. He does. I'm going to down tune this guitar because... It's all you now, brother. You're not playing anymore. Someone actually cut a version of one of my songs called Will of the People, and it's on YouTube, and it's got like 60,000 views.

Oh, cool. Yeah. Did you see the guy that actually did a drum track to it? Oh, really? Oh, it's dope, actually. Super cool. Dude. He's a good drummer.

We've got an animator working on an animation for the song. It's awesome. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. It's so cool. Yeah. It's really neat. I've never been one to play studio recorded music with full band stuff.

So it's very weird for me to hear one of my songs, which are usually just acoustic, but done in a studio manner with full everything. That's interesting. Yeah. It's different. It's really different. It feels weird. It's like, I did not write this song, but I did. Right.

But the music and the instruments are, like, the pros. It adds a lot. I don't know.. So so you guys might know Nishra. She's basically the musical genius who's adding all the studio work to it. I just play the guitar and sing. It's great. I play the drums, too. But I didn't record the drums on this one. We actually have a drum kit right here. Yeah, it's cool. We need a real one. We're going to get a real one. It's going to be great. I've got to learn. All right. Yeah. So actually, I was watching chat. Alright, yeah. So actually I was watching chat. Someone asked me for a song.

So I'm gonna play it. This is, and that's why I down tuned this song. Cause this song just, it's not right, it doesn't feel right in the key of E. Oh yeah This is called Melancholy Hellhound Well I don't want your money I just want some wine Yeah Give me some of your honey

I promise I'll take my time Welcome to the heartache It always feels the same Yeah, well I find myself growing senseless To the pain Yeah, well I stretch and crawl to figure it out But in the end there's just me Oh, well I don't want your pity

And I don't want no lies Yeah, oh, life gets shitty Oh, and then you die Oh, welcome to the heartache Try not to lose your way It's like trudging through the muddy water Without faith You can scratch and crawl to figure it out

But in the end, there's just me Oh, well, I still get the feeling Of judgmental eyes Only difference being It's just not worth my time Yeah, cause I welcome all the heartache Oh, it brings tears to my eyes Yeah, those tears remind me remind me i'm alive

well i'll stretch and crawl to figure it out but in the end it was just me I was like, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. I'm not going to do it. I'm not. Believe it or not, I am not a professional musician. I'm a professional internet talker about news. I'll take that role more seriously. Yeah, so when I went hard a couple weeks ago, I did like three songs and I had full belt and everything. And then I lost my voice for a week. No, not interested. So anyway, no more songs? We're good then? We're going to time for bed? I No, not interested. So anyway, everybody, so yeah, no more songs. We're good

then. We're going to time for bed. I can't do it. I felt my, uh, I felt my voice going earlier today when I was playing that song and I was like, Oh, I gotta take it easy. I can feel it right now. You know what a lot of people don't realize is that I don't want to risk it. Adam, you record just over two hours of content every day. I guess I do. And I record about three hours and 40 minutes every day. Yeah. And the interesting thing about this is when you post something on Facebook about your opinion. Yeah. And then someone says like, Adam just keeps talking about this one thing.

It's like you realize that Adam will publish two hours worth of discussion and they'll only talk to you about like one tiny tiny morsel yeah you know so i get that you know i've been getting that for a long time with having nearly four hours of content they'll be like you only talk about you know defending the police and i'm like did you watch all four hours of content i put out today because i put out four hours no i know you don't because nobody could that's it's insane right i mean actually a lot of people probably do i'm impressed by that it's four hours i try to catch your stuff i mean i i don't watch as much as i used to though i'll be honest because i'm researching a lot of the same stuff that you're talking about so and we're going to be doing a vlog channel with the new facility and

it's going to be skateboarding it's going to be guns archery you know all very safe stuff the gun stuff will probably be not as not as Oh, people want to see us shoot. We will. I just mean like it's not going to be like because safety regulations, getting the proper instructors, making sure we have everything set up and secure. We want to be serious with it when we're filming

and all that kind of stuff. But maybe we can be better prepared for... It's going to be a challenge, but we're going to do skateboarding stuff. We're going to do vlog stuff. Ian's going to be baking and making weird fruit leather and stuff. It's going to be a challenge, but we're going to do skateboarding stuff. We're going to do vlog stuff. Ian's going to be baking and making weird fruit leather and stuff. It's going to be a lot of fun. That's going to be so fun.

But the reason I bring this up is that will add probably another 20 minutes of content per day. That's a good point. Yeah, to the publishing time. So hopefully I can produce more than 24 hours worth of content per day. And I think it's possible. I think I can pull it off. Who thinks you can do it? But anyway, everybody, thanks for hanging out for the last bit of the show. I think I can pull it off. He thinks he can do it. But anyway, everybody,
