Starting point is 00:00:00 The fight may be over. At first, it was announced that the feds would be withdrawing, and the breaking news made it seem like the Department of Homeland Security had given up. They couldn't win this fight against the far left, and they were backing down. At least that's how some news outlets were reporting it. And then I actually started reading what had happened, and it's actually the other way around. The feds are refusing to leave. So the Democrats in Oregon have agreed to their terms to deploy more police to defend the downtown area in the federal courthouse and the feds are going to stay. How is how is the narrative inverted? We live. Listen, man, this is the news right now.
Starting point is 00:00:36 We live in a fractured reality where the Democrats are trying to claim they won and Wheeler and the governor are like, we did it. They're going to start withdrawing tomorrow. And the DHS is like, no, we're not. And then there are people literally responding to the acting secretary of the DHS. You got owned. And it's like the dude runs the DHS. If he says he's not leaving, why would you believe the people who don't run the DHS? That's it, man.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Because they believe the lies. They are anything that fits their narrative. If it's on the news, they're vindicated and justified. Propagandistic warfare, man. That's what it is. They cannot admit defeat. And so what ends up happening is I'll look, I'll do a series of videos where it's like, you know, Trump was right. Trump has won this fight and they'll do the exact opposite.
Starting point is 00:01:24 But I really do believe they're wrong. And the example I often give is like, you know, when I see progressive YouTubers do a video where they're like, Donald Trump's disapproval is higher than ever. And I'm like, it's just one poll, right? I'll use aggregate polling. I'll try and use multiple polls and I'll even highlight static to be like, what's the best understanding we can come up with based on the current data we have. And even that data is probably wrong. But here we go, man. The governor is saying the feds have agreed to a phased withdrawal.
Starting point is 00:01:50 And everyone cheers. And then she whispers under her breath, as long as we abide by their terms. They're going to be deploying state police. This is like an upgrade. Wow. So, actually, when you look at the demands of the far left, they want to defund the police by 50%. Not going to happen. Actually, they're going to be deploying more police. Of course.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Yeah. They want Ted Wheeler to resign. Nope. He's celebrating. He won. Yeah. They want protesters released from jail. Nope.
Starting point is 00:02:16 And they want the feds to leave. Nope. None of that's happening. So they're celebrating for nothing. Well, you know what? Let them celebrate. Yeah, exactly. Let them think that they won.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Where's the harm? Because that just means they're going to stop. We beat them. We got them. It's like, yeah, yeah. And now that the narrative is becoming, I guess that these Antifa types are actually secretly white supremacists. That's the narrative. Well, they released the guy's name.
Starting point is 00:02:43 The guy who went around smashing windows of the Auto Zone in Minneapolis. They released his name. I tried looking him up. I'm really good at finding people. I couldn't find this guy. Of course.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Well, I guess they did. They said they couldn't get a response. But I look and- One person. No, no, but this is good. This is good. Just like with the reporting where they claimed Putin was going after our troops in Afghanistan, I'm like, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Oh, Antifa is actually white supremacists. You mean those people wearing all black and throwing explosives? Oh, man, you better arrest them. Kick them out of your protest and don't let them throw explosives anymore. Oh, man, because they're actually white supremacists, right? So why were they so upset about them getting arrested? Well, no, no. Now that they know, now that everyone knows,
Starting point is 00:03:24 those people in Portland and all black are actually white supremacists i mean that literally they are like antifa are literally white supremacists they're just yeah they're white supremacists with guilty consciences that's the that's the saying woke supremacists they're literally white supremacists though like right now when they talk about like that whiteness chart how they think white people like invented everything they literally are. Although that was from the Smithsonian of the African American Museum. It's so weird. It came from a weird source.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Well, it wasn't weird. It was the actual national history of African American history. Maybe internalized white supremacy, I guess. I don't know. Well, anyway, the the point is if they're if they're still going to go out and defend antifa even though they know that now they're reporting numerous instances where the far right is actually the ones doing it what justification do they have to allow them to be at their protests now so when the when the peaceful protesters i
Starting point is 00:04:19 mean the legitimate ones who are just standing around like you know singing they should be kicking these people out they still i bet they won't now here's the thing look the governor may have surrendered but do they does she have any capacity to negotiate on behalf of the far left now so we'll see how this plays out we got a couple other stories there's a group has apparently um should we take credit for this one people people have been uh definitely trying to get different murals painted in streets. Yeah, we'll definitely take that. A couple different organizations. We talked about it as soon as that happened.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Well, no, no, no. No, we're taking it. It was Judicial Watch. No, no, no. Wrong. Judicial Watch. Excuse me. Judicial Watch.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Excuse me. Judicial Watch. Excuse me. So it's Tom Fitt and Judicial Watch. They're the ones who initially filed a lawsuit in dc to get their mural painted these guys were on it okay and since then we have seen uh an expansion of people trying to get their own murals painted in various on various city streets and of course bill de blasia said no and so this organization wants to paint blue lives matter this is actually
Starting point is 00:05:21 from almost about a week ago yeah but there's a couple stories we wanted to cover and this front but then there's there's still some more donald trump wants to ban tiktok yeah and he also wants to withdraw 12 000 u.s troops from germany yeah now they claim it's kind of about uh they're not paying their bills right well he's been talking about that for a long time look look did you see what was in the republican coronavirus bill uh no military spending fbi building tanks guns whatever right makes no sense and so this is funny i tweeted are they preparing for a war or something and i think a lot of people didn't understand the point i was trying to make except for this this surprised me i got a notification joey brzezinski pro skateboarder tweeted i was like i got him. I'm like, Joey Brzezinski tweeted at me. I was like, oh, he's a pro skater.
Starting point is 00:06:06 I know who that is. And I looked and it was a picture of the American flag and the Chinese flag and a thinking face. And I'm like, this dude got it. Oh, yeah. This dude knows exactly what I was trying to say. Coin shortage. Trump wants to ban TikTok, right? Yep.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Because of spying. Even Joe Biden saying his staff can't do it. Right. Yep. Then you've got coin shortage, which we were talking about. And this is way more conspiratorial. It was what was it during World War Two? They started printing like silver coins or something because they needed the copper, I guess.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Yeah. I don't know the details. Yeah. But there was like general conversations popping up on social media about like, when do we usually have coin shortages? War. When they're planning for war. When we need lots of bullets. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:06:49 And artillery and stuff. So it's like, I don't know if you guys have noticed this. Many of you probably did because we certainly did. Coin shortages. And the craziest thing, the weirdest thing today is I went to the bank, went to the ATM, and it defaulted a bunch of $10 bills.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And I'm talking about a major national bank. Normally, you can customize your bills and talk about some cash, and it bunch of $10 bills. And I'm talking about a major national bank. Normally, you can customize your bills. And I got some cash and it gave me $10 bills. I was like, wait, what? $10 bills? That's usually what you get in like- An ATM in the hood. In Brooklyn, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:07:15 In Brooklyn, yeah. Yeah, $10 ATM. It's true. So it was kind of weird. And then we're seeing all this stuff and I'm like, we've got all this movement. We've got India and Pakistan. Apparently, Pakistan and China are preparing a pincer attack on India.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Yeah, and India. I was reading an India Times news. I don't know exactly which it was, but they were talking about. They're ready, man. Their air force is legit. They have a bunch of air force bases along the whole border. They're basically saying, come at us, China. We'll open fire on you.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Someone's going to fire a nuke, man. Man, something's going to happen over there. The pressure is building for sure. How about we talk about all these stories? We got to start with the most important one, the surrender of the Democrats in Oregon. I say surrender. I know I'm being a bit silly. It's not like, you know, they're like, we surrender, please. No, it's like they're finally like, OK, OK, we'll bring the police back. Wrong. But it is, I mean.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Wrong, wrong, wrong. They're're surrendering a full unconditional surrender yeah yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna go with that it's arguably unconditional but it's it's conditional they want the feds to leave yeah the excess feds anyway if you have not already it is your obligation and duty to smash the like button that's right you must smash. One does not simply smash any like button. You must smash this like button. And subscribe. I don't know. I don't know where I was going.
Starting point is 00:08:32 I like that. One does not. Also subscribe, because we'll be back every Monday through Friday at 8 p.m. But let's jump into the first story. I'm choosing this article from Willamette Week on purpose because Willamette Week is, my understanding, fairly biased. And even they're forced to admit straight up the Oregon State Police will now provide protection for free speech.
Starting point is 00:08:55 They caved, man. Listen, the demands from these leftists in Portland was to defund the Portland police by 50 percent. The response? Brigham Morris. The state is sending in police. So it's not, not only are they not defunding Portland police, y'all getting more. Yeah, 60 plus nights. You know what the Democrats realized?
Starting point is 00:09:15 What? Ted Wheeler the other day said, can we negotiate a ceasefire? Oh, yeah, that's right. We talked about it. Yeah, and I'm like, under what authority do you have to negotiate for Antifa? Ceasefire? Yeah, ceasefire. Yeah. And I'm like, under what authority do you have to negotiate for Antifa? Ceasefire? Yeah, ceasefire. Seriously?
Starting point is 00:09:27 No, no, no. What he was actually saying is we could crush these riots at any moment. We're now agreeing to do so. Let us know what you want. And I think the reason was Trump was looking good. Yep. And they didn't think it was going to happen. I think they pulled the police out initially.
Starting point is 00:09:41 So early on, the Portland police were engaging and, you know, arresting rioters. On the 39th night, the Fed sent in extra DHS troops because there were already marshals there. Because of all the bad press about DHS, Portland police stopped. They issued a statement where they were like, we did not engage at all. That wasn't us. We had nothing to do with this. And then that meant Trump was the only one dealing with this. Eric Weinstein, he's the famous IDW guy, said he tweeted he was hearing a lot from liberals that there were two big reasons they were jumping ship and potentially voting for Trump. And one was Biden's cognitive decisions, cognitive decline, decline. Well,
Starting point is 00:10:23 there we go. I was trying to be nice-ish. Decline. But the second was what he called the experiment in non-policing in places like Portland over the riots. How the police were backing down. Then you look at Trump's approval rating. It started to go up a little bit, especially with Rasmussen. And then you see opposition to Black Lives Matter starting to go way, way up. And the Democrats knew the Black Lives Matter protests, the peaceful ones, were great for them.
Starting point is 00:10:47 And that's true. It really does help Democrats. So now with the police backing down and violent riots sweeping across for 60 days, Trump was the only one. It was only Trump. And guess what? Regular people don't riot, don't protest, and don't sympathize with these people. So all they see is cops being attacked and fighting. And they're like, I don't like this craziness. I just want it to stop.
Starting point is 00:11:09 They should all be arrested. You know what's scary to me is that a lot of these, a lot of regular Americans don't care about civil liberties. If it came down to it and you were holding up a sign and marching through their neighborhood, they'd probably just want you arrested and kicked out immediately. Well, there's a small town in Colorado that that that exactly that that basically happened. There was maybe 10 Black Lives Matter, you know, protesters and man that the whole town came out. And there was like the sheriff came with horses. There was like six or seven horse horse officers. And like the whole town, you just see them like, get out of our town. Here's your trash that you dropped. Take this with you and get out. And everyone's like, now that's
Starting point is 00:11:52 a real sheriff right there. And it's like, whoa. And there was, in Ohio. I think it was North Colorado somewhere. In Ohio, like 70 Black Lives Matter protesters showed up to the small town. And like 700 counter protesters came out. And they were like like we will crush you get out yep regular americans don't don't don't want to deal with this no they don't they want to go to work they want to come home they want to ask you know talk to their kids who their kids are up to house school let's go play baseball or whatever these people are isolated in these cities and they really don't get it so let's take a look at this article willamette week says
Starting point is 00:12:24 oregon governor kate brown announced wednesday morning that following discussions with vice in these cities and they really don't get it. So take a look at this article. Willamette Week says, Oregon Governor Kate Brown announced Wednesday morning that following discussions with Vice President Mike Pence, federal agents occupying the Marco Hatfield Federal Courthouse in Portland have agreed to a phased withdrawal. The withdrawal will begin Thursday, July 30th. Brown said the federal agents will also clean up the building's exterior, which is covered in graffiti. So maybe that's the one thing they got.
Starting point is 00:12:46 We will agree to all of your demands so long as your guys clean up the graffiti on your own building. They're like, okay. Great, send in the police. They mentioned since early July, officers from federal agencies, including DHS, Customs and Border Protection,
Starting point is 00:13:01 Specialized Bortec Unit, have dispersed and injured protesters. Of course. Is that it? Protesters, huh? Huh. Who congregated around the eight-foot black fence that surrounds the courthouse. All right, I gotta stop.
Starting point is 00:13:12 You know, I can't stand this. Listen, the fence wasn't always up. The fence was put up at some point in the past couple of weeks. So these riots have been going on for quite some time. Their presence in Oregon garnered national criticism when Oregon Public Broadcasting reported that federal agents were snatching protesters into unmarked rental vans. How dumb. Snatching.
Starting point is 00:13:33 These federal officers have acted as an occupying force, refused accountability, and brought violence and strife to our community, Brown said in a statement. We have an opportunity that we cannot afford to waste. The departure of federal forces represents the beginning of a process that will be as difficult as it is overdue. Oregon State Police will arrive at the building to provide protection for free speech and the security of the exterior of the courthouse with the Federal Protective Service. Well, I hope they're there for the security of the interior of the courthouse also. No, the feds are going to stay.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Oh, inside. Yeah. Okay, okay. You know, there's that joke about like aliens will come to earth and they go up to the dog and say take us to your leaders yeah because they assume we're serving them right when if they're leading us if the oregon state police if if the feds are there and the oregon government goes to the feds and say we'll deploy police to protect you o Oregon is providing a service to the feds. I'm sorry, the feds have clearly won this one. So here's actually what happened. In response to this,
Starting point is 00:14:31 Acting Secretary Chad Wolf tweeted, the state of Oregon is finally agreeing to cooperate with our federal forces, exactly what we asked for since the nightly violence broke out two months ago. We're glad Oregon is now correcting their months long error. Why did they deploy DHS to the courthouse? Because the police weren't doing their job. Boom. And I feel bad for some of these cops, to be honest, because their hands were being tied by feckless Democrats who are like, but you're making things worse by arresting these violent thugs. I'm sorry, peaceful protesters here. Actually actually, we have a fan of ours, Vince, sent us an actual picture of peaceful protesters. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:15:09 It's actually a bunch of stickers. And thanks, Vince. This is great. It's an image of a peaceful man with a peaceful bottle full of peaceful kerosene. That's a peace bottle. A peace bottle. He's stretching.
Starting point is 00:15:20 You also light it on fire and throw it, and it causes fire, but it's peace flames. It looks like he's doing yoga. But listen, listen. Peaceful flames. You've got the intention all wrong. You see what you're supposed to do is when there is someone clearly cold, you throw it so it lands next to them and you can warm them and they can it's an instant campfire bottle.
Starting point is 00:15:37 It's an instant campfire in a bottle. Very peaceful. Wow. Here's what Chad Wolf says. He goes on to say we will maintain our current augmented federal law enforcement personnel in Portland until we are assured that the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and other federal properties will no longer be attacked and that the seat of justice in Portland will remain secure. DHS will not back down from our legal duty to protect federal law enforcement officers and federal properties in the face of violent criminal behavior.
Starting point is 00:16:09 POTUS made clear that this administration is ready and willing to partner with state and local law enforcement to protect every American. And you see that commitment in Portland with his plan. And then this person tweeted, you got smacked down. That's it. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Some people just don't pay attention attention that's that's what you know what really really uh kind of scares me about all of this is that i think you know we've talked
Starting point is 00:16:31 about the different factions in the culture war it really does feel like mature adults responsible adults and whiny children that's that's what we're seeing yeah so you get these lunatics who come out throwing bottles i mean we've we we talked about those videos of the women screaming, like, you wouldn't do this to a nice young girl from Wisconsin or whatever, young woman. Yeah. Dude, or the video from New York where the woman's screaming in the cop's face, or effing what? All right, she's going and pulls her in and they start screaming.
Starting point is 00:17:00 So let me explain this. Check this out. The other day, King 5 Seattle said Mayor Durkin says federal agents have demobilized and left Seattle. Seattle mayors confirmed the Department of Homeland Security Border Patrol Tactical Unit is no longer in Seattle. And it's funny because just the other night she had given an interview to CNN where she said Trump was doing a dry run for martial law. And like while she's saying it, Trump's like, all right, get all the troops out. You know why they sent the DHS into Seattle?
Starting point is 00:17:30 Because they finally broke into the courthouse, right? No, in Seattle. Oh, Seattle. No, no, what's up with that? There were reports of potential violent riots on Saturday. Oh, okay. So before Saturday, they were like,
Starting point is 00:17:40 okay, we're going to send in some extra law enforcement into the courthouses and into our federal buildings. And then if the riots get out of hand, we'll have the extra support. The weekend passed. The riots were, you know, they were kind of bad and the police handled some of them. They didn't go to the courthouse.
Starting point is 00:17:54 So then Trump said, okay. Or probably not even Trump. It was probably Chad Wolf was like, all right, I guess we didn't need them. Bring them back. And so it's that simple. You see, a sane, rational adult who's following the news goes, huh, that's it. Ah, makes sense. Okay, logic. Yeah, sure. But if you
Starting point is 00:18:10 watch the news, if you watch the Bill Barr hearing, what do you get? They're just screaming at him. Emotions versus logic. Exactly. Yep. But it's I mean, what is the root of this? Immaturity. Yeah, maybe. Inability to calmly and rationally deduce what is actually going on.
Starting point is 00:18:27 True. So if I told you, oh, hey, there's going to be, there's fears there's going to be a massive riot Saturday in Seattle. So they decided to send in extra law enforcement just to stay inside the federal courthouse. The response is, huh. That's it. I mean, it makes sense. There's no, there's no, it's like, okay. They're, and?
Starting point is 00:18:43 It's preempted, you know. Interesting. Just in just in case but you know the conversation they're having is donald trump is deploying his secret police into all of our cities to snatch people off the streets stormtroopers and then i know i know you saw this but i don't know if everyone that's watching saw but in so the nypd did this now too they pulled up in a in a minivan and they snatched someone up. It turns out this person was destroying cameras, so they were looking for this one specific person. With a warrant. With a warrant.
Starting point is 00:19:13 They released that person. They already released them. They snatched this person up and all I can say is, I wonder how long it's going to take for them to blame Trump. It's already got 10 million views. That video? Yep.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Of course. In the video, a van pulls up to a march. They grab this trans, it's a trans femme. A lot of news outlets have said she, her, and woman. Okay. But the activist literally said trans femme. So I'm not going to assume any pronouns. I'm going to use exactly what the activists refer to this individual as.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Okay. And then as they snatch, jump out and grab, it's the warrant squad, NYPD's warrant squad, using an unmarked van. And immediately, NYPD bike police form a barrier around the van in uniform with bright yellow vests, reflective vests, standing there holding people back.
Starting point is 00:20:00 And they're like, who's kidnapping our friend? Like, I wonder, who could it be i wonder if that uh the big huge police written across those reflective vests it's not enough we're a clue into that no if it wasn't enough in portland to say these are police arresting you i don't i don't tell you now look man there's there there's a good argument against the abuse and overuse of plain clothes and unmarked vehicles. I'm not a big fan. I'm not either. But to act like it's new and shocking is a lie.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Definitely. No-knock raids, bad. Definitely bad. No-knock raids from plain clothes cops, really bad. And when a plain clothes cop executes a no-knock warrant and then the homeowner defends himself and they arrest the homeowner the worst you could possibly get yep absolutely no way and there's a bunch of stories like this yep where like the cops will just three in the morning kick your door and you look out you look down the stairs and there's a bunch of dudes in t-shirts and jeans and you're like i'm being robbed being invaded right yeah they're attacking my home and they don't identify
Starting point is 00:21:02 themselves and they do this and that's why we have a lot of these stories, like Breonna Taylor or Duncan Lent. Depending on which political faction, I guess the Boogaloo Boys talk about all of them because they don't care if the government is killing people, they're killing people. But that's the gist of it. If the police have unmarked vehicles, they've always had unmarked vehicles, probably as long as vehicles have existed, to be honest. Good point. I have to imagine when the first car was invented, police weren't like, I know, let's put our name, big and bold, and sirens on top of this thing. I mean, unless maybe they,
Starting point is 00:21:34 like, could you imagine horses? Like, when they had horses, did they write police on the horse? I don't know. No, but they would wear a badge. But I don't think they wore uniforms back then. Maybe they did. I don't know. I don't know the history of policing, to be honest. But I'd imagine that, you know, look, it's part of the narrative that the activists are pushing because it's all propaganda. They'll show you a small clip and say they're kidnapping people.
Starting point is 00:21:56 And then all of a sudden, every leftist pundit will just be like, I agree. And I'm like, where did common sense go? It's the most annoying thing to me. Yeah, well, it's not gone. I'll tell you that. It was never here. No, no, no. You have common sense.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I have common sense. I'm talking about them. Lydia has common sense. Yeah, I have a little. Right, okay. So the few people out there that we talk about a lot on the show seem to have a lack of common sense. 10 million views on this video.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Dude. But it's not all... I watched it. That's true. You know, we watched it. It's everyone who's being aware of the situation are watching it too. NPCs, man. A lot of them are. The meme is real. I believe that.
Starting point is 00:22:37 You turn on the TV and you have NPCs reporting news to NPCs. And how do you break that? It's like you can't do it. You have emotionally reactive, fervent, zealous, angry people who don't care.
Starting point is 00:22:54 I don't understand how you communicate with these people. How do you get to them? Because I'm a fairly good communicator. I did non-profit fundraising. But when you have someone who is just blinded with rage, like their eyes are glowing and they're just like, you know, fuming at the mouth. How does how do even their own faction communicate with them?
Starting point is 00:23:13 Because they even fight each other. It's like a chaotic, destructive force. They've set their eyes on something they want to be mad about and they romp about angry. Maybe that's it. Maybe they're mad at maybe maybe it's just misdirected anger. That's all it is. Yep, I agree. Each and every one of these people was sitting at home and they were eating an ice cream
Starting point is 00:23:31 and the ice cream fell off the cone and landed on the floor. Ah! And they march on the street screaming and they take it out on the police. That's the best I can think of. This is the problem, though. There's never one answer to anything. A lot of these people on the left, they like to blame one thing for all the problems, you know, and that a lot of people do this. They're like, this is the one thing that is messing up everything instead of looking at everything as a whole. And that's the problem. We everyone needs to take a step back and just look at as you know the whole picture and a lot of people are losing that that ability they're so focused on this one thing and then that one thing
Starting point is 00:24:10 pisses them off so they can't even get you know past that everything is about that one thing and if you disagree about that one thing you're you're the enemy and you're evil period no no questions no talking i'll tell you what i think school is a big part of the problem. Definitely. Absolutely. So not to like, in my mind, I'm thinking a bunch of things. I don't want to jump too far ahead. But I'm thinking one of the problems these people have is they're linear thinkers. They can only focus on one thing at a time.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Yep. I remember there was a, during Occupy Wall Street, everybody's sitting around talking about what the demands should be. And some person you know one person was like it's wall street they're the problem everyone argued then finally some old dude just snapped and stood up and said what is wrong with you people why can't you understand the one problem is fracking and i was like what oh and that's because they're linear it's it's a it's a linear and and you know myopic thought process they see one thing like you were saying yeah and that's the only thing they can see and there's no subtlety there's no nuance there's no uh there's no conversation it's just i know
Starting point is 00:25:18 the only problem is this yep and then you're like man and then they go they go to the crusades on against everyone for that one thing and that's all they want to talk about that's all that it doesn't matter what other things you bring in any other logical conversations that relate to it no no no that doesn't matter because this one thing that's all that matters and this is why i was talking about schools like i think in kindergarten the most important thing we can teach kids, chess. Okay. Interesting. Did you play chess as a kid?
Starting point is 00:25:52 I did. Me too. Well, I was being taught chess when I was like a mindless, non-English speaking baby. Little cretin. Nice. My mom and her friends were showing me the chess pieces and explaining it while I was going, and so as long as I can remember. makes a lot of sense though yeah and then the way your brain works and then magic the gathering so then when i was like seven for those that aren't familiar
Starting point is 00:26:14 with magic it's a strategy card game it's it's uh we call it like what chess and poker combined yeah it's a turn-based strategy game but it's's got, instead of, how many pieces are in chess? I don't know. 11 or something? Offhand, I don't know. I have no idea. 13? 12.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Magic has 20,000 cards. It's become ridiculously complicated. It's the most complicated game. Way more than 20,000. Yeah, way more. So when I was younger, I started playing Magic and Pokemon and other card games, but it was all about strategy. So when you're looking at your opponent and you're playing these strategy games, you don't know the cards they're holding and you
Starting point is 00:26:49 have to try and calculate the likelihood of certain cards they might have to use against you. So your one problem in this battle against your opponent, there's no one problem. They're holding seven cards and you're like, any one of those seven cards could be one of seven, you know, seven I know they have that could end this game for me. Whereas you get these kids who grow up not doing any complex thought or critical thinking and honestly snowplow parents clearing everything out in front of them. And then what happens? They grow up and they're sitting in their apartment and they're like, I'm unhappy. I don't know why. I'm just angry. And then along comes someone who goes, howdy, friend.
Starting point is 00:27:26 I see that you're angry. How would you like an easy fix? I can just give you something to be angry about. Hey, that sounds great. How about this? Cause. And they're like, that's the one thing I'll choose to be angry about.
Starting point is 00:27:38 All I can think is John Cleese. Exactly. Is that what you're thinking? So I don't know if you guys have seen the John Cleese, very famous. I think it was a Monty Python sketch. Yeah, I don't know if you guys have seen the John Cleese, very famous. I think it was a Monty Python sketch. Yeah, I don't know where it's from. Where he's like, if you are generally, like, I don't know the whole line.
Starting point is 00:27:52 If you want to be angry at something, just join a cause. You can be on the far left. And then there's all these people that you get to blame for everything. The corporations, the government, you know. And, of course, moderates. Yeah, and then he's like, and if you want to be on the extreme right then you can talk about immigration you can talk about you know labor party and of course moderates it's funny like they're always mad at moderates yeah yeah but that it's it's amazing how that skit really does circle back to today perfectly oh yeah it's
Starting point is 00:28:19 it's it hits the nail on the head but anyway to to the broader point, you know, I look at people who can't actually fathom that there are multiple layers to their problems. And so all they, here's what you get. You get people who march in the street, who scream capitalism is the problem or white supremacy, and they can't actually define any of it properly. That's true. Then you'll see a bunch of people, democratic politicians who go, hmm, well, you can't reason with them, but you can make money off them. I'll tell them I agree. Capitalism is bad. Vote for me and then I get paid. They had this big tech hearing on monopolies earlier today. And a lot of people are really disappointed in basically everybody of course
Starting point is 00:29:05 yeah all the all the politicians are just you know they're unable to actually do anything and i look at it and i'm like what i was saying before the show we're talking about it and i was like i think that people who get into politics are the people who aren't skilled enough to actually make it on their own in a meritocracy but but they are smart enough to be a puppet for certain industries. So if they need the money to get elected, they can, yeah, sure, I'll adopt whatever cause you want me to adopt. And this is Democrats and Republicans alike. It's like, what's that, pro-life and pro-gun? Sure, I'll say whatever you want me to say. Hire me and then I'll get paid. Whereas you wonder why it is that the talented, intelligent people who know what they're doing,
Starting point is 00:29:46 know what they're talking about, won't do it. Well, it's because they're going to go start a business and make tons of money. Yeah. Who wants, like, who would want to go work in politics? It's extremely expensive, very difficult to win. It is brutal. Everyone hates each other. And you don't even get paid that much. The amount of effort you got to put in to get into office, you end up with people like the AOC.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Well, why are they all so rich then? Well money so so we got a lot of them yes okay so so we got a bunch of old money people controlling everything i don't like that i don't like that i don't i don't i think we need a a big huge boost of a younger generation in politics yes period there have been moments of a younger generation in politics. Yes. Period. There have been moments of upheaval in Congress where like all the incumbents get booted out. Really? Yeah. How many times does that happen? I don't know. I don't think that many, only a couple.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Wow. There was one, I think, there was a chart I was looking at of like Democrat versus Republican overlap. Okay. And they used to overlap quite a bit. Now they're extremely far apart. But in the chart, you could see weird gaps. And then they pointed out, it was like the New York Times, I think times i think saying like at this point the overwhelming majority of incumbents were voted
Starting point is 00:30:48 out wow it was like the american people revolting and saying everybody that's the best thing about our government is that it actually there can actually be a revolution in the sense that every single politician in office can be removed within a couple years two to four years or six let's do it let's get rid of them all. But it's not necessarily that simple, right? Nothing is. I fully agree with you. I think the issue is not so much incumbents.
Starting point is 00:31:14 I think it's not enough people care. That's also another problem. So you end up— Add one more problem to the list of what is wrong with the society we live in. Yeah, but look at Mackenzie Bezos. Okay. She just dumped $1.7 billion into social justice organizations, like full-on intersectionalism, because she cares. And I'm sitting here like, man, how do you compete with that level of cult power?
Starting point is 00:31:43 Almost $2 billion being dumped into the cult. Well, I mean, there was a large chunk of that that went to minority schooling and that I have no problem with. I mean, I don't know where all the money's going, but I did see that there is a large chunk that's going to minority communities. And I'm okay with that. There's nothing wrong with that. Look, nothing wrong with that. I got you. Look, I have concerns about the power of billionaires to influence everything around us, especially when they're all pushing the same thing like open borders and things like that and intersectionalism because intersectionalism is reactionary and it wants to revert this country back to an
Starting point is 00:32:21 identitarian rule of law. We got rid of all that stuff. We used to have laws based on race. And we're like, no, we're not going to do that anymore. Why? Because, well, we've got a bunch of immigrants who live here. Now that money is going to go towards that kind of ideology and spreading it, even probably with many of those schools. So, like, how do you compete against that when most people don't care and just sit back?
Starting point is 00:32:40 I guess then that's just how the change happens. We've got to fix our schools. That's something that I've, I've been very, very firm about for a long time, actually, since I was younger, since I was in school and I was like,
Starting point is 00:32:51 why are we learning this? What, what is this? What is this? This isn't important. I mean, I think I've had a conversation about that with almost everybody that I went to school with.
Starting point is 00:32:59 And you think about what we're learning, what they're teaching. We see these teachers are teaching how racism exists. It's like, why aren't we teaching that racism is a past tense thing like we gotta like we gotta teach to the future not teach to the past because the teachers are in the cult i know exactly that's another thing that we got to do another add another problem to the list they're they're teaching the 1619 project yeah that's messed up and the woman who wrote it just admitted it's not even a work of history. Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Yeah, she said it was a narrative memory or something, some weird. She's like, it was never meant to actually be historical. It's just an origin story. It's like, what? What does that even mean? You knew exactly what you were doing when you set that in motion. The New York Times, you can see the moment they gave up and decided to just become BuzzFeed with the thin veneer of academia. Right. And so they're like, hey, if it offends people and it'll get us clicks go for it cnn does the same thing i mean come on cnn brought on jeff zucker he's literally nbc's reality tv guy
Starting point is 00:33:55 yeah he was like i got an idea let's turn the news into reality tv and cnn was like great if it makes money all of these people in all of these institutions are basically saying, we're going to watch the whole thing burn to the ground and extract as much as we can while it happens. And that's what I'm seeing now as they pump out more money in stimulus, more money. And I tell you what, I see these memes, right? There's a meme going around where it's like, if you're upset that your neighbor is getting $600 a week from unemployment, you should really be mad at the employers, your employer for not paying you more money. And I'm like, if the government guarantees 100% of your wages plus $600, there's literally
Starting point is 00:34:38 no circumstance in which any business could compete with that because no matter how much you pay, they'll get $600 more. Now there is an unemployment cap i think but they said 100 i don't know exactly how how it works the point is man they're printing out money they're watching the whole thing burn to the ground and they don't care they don't because they're super rich that's it when they talk about abolishing the police they don't care they. They can hire a security team. Exactly. Exactly. So you see people like Mackenzie Bezos, who's dumping all this money into all of these programs and everything, some of which apparently are in favor of abolishing and defunding the police. That woman is going to want, she will never want for anything again.
Starting point is 00:35:18 She could hire 10 times the private security. In fact, you know what the craziest thing is? If you're rich enough, you can hire security who literally breaks the law for you. So like I've seen videos where people have international private security. They'll punch a cop in the face. No, straight up. I can't remember which video I was watching where the cops were like trying to move through and the private security shoved the cops. Nope. They get paid way too much. They're like, I get paid mid six figures to the security job and I got the best lawyers in the world. You ain't stopping much. They're like, I get paid mid-six figures through the security job and I get the best lawyers in the world. You ain't stopping me.
Starting point is 00:35:48 You're a beat cop making $27,000 a year. So you get someone with $60 billion in hard assets, mind you, who can convert that. They're going to have 10 layers of security guards and you're not going to be able to do anything against that. You defund the police, no one's going to be able to come and arrest them for anything. Sounds corrupt.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Yikes. Yeah, man. This is what I feel like as of late there's a lot of elites that know that everything's crumbling you know they're they don't care they don't like already set up definitely and what have we seen metals have been spiking people are buying up silver and gold like crazy yeah they're buying up properties in the middle of nowhere, Montana, Idaho, Iowa. House is under 400K. There's articles popping up all over the place warning the dollar collapse is imminent. Whether or not that actually is, I don't know. And talk of war, coin shortages.
Starting point is 00:36:38 And I look at what the politicians are doing and I'm like, I'm pretty sure when all of these people with pitchforks and torches start screaming print more money and just give it to me the politicians are like well it's burning down whatever i'm not going to do what needs to be i'm not going to do what needs to be done i'm just going to do whatever i feel like just because it's the end a small sliver of them are saying that yeah sure politicians no no no the the people that scream print more money give it to me it's not's not a small percentage, dude. It's massive. What's the percentage? When you have every single progressive activist and all of their followers, I mean, we're talking about probably all of the Democratic voters saying print more money.
Starting point is 00:37:20 What we're saying with print more money is I want $600 a week plus 100% unemployment. They're saying things like cancel rent, forgive loans. They're saying things like pay off all student debt, which is trillions of dollars. They already printed, what, six to eight trillion or something? Yeah, most of the people on the left are saying just print, print, print. And there's a meme now, money printer go brr, because they're just cranking out money. You know what that leads to? Venezuela.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Yes. Yep. Man, I was in Venezuela. Let me tell you guys. We had stacks of cash in big black garbage bags. And you would want to buy like a slice of pizza, if you could even find, well, on a repa. There you go. It's like avocado and chicken.
Starting point is 00:38:01 It's really delicious, actually. And you hand a big old stack of cash, big massive stack. They shovel it into piles. It's how worthless it is. Yep. And that's what happens when they just mass print money. So I'm concerned about what's going to happen, but I'll tell you what. Well, the great meme lord, Elon Musk, he stated just the other day that the left is losing the middle.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Yep. And he's right. And i i can't these polls man i don't i can't believe it anymore no i don't either i i never did believe them i i i just use my gut i have strong instincts and i i most americans are seeing this and they're like this is insanity this doesn't make any sense but what happens if they cheat but election but but but but but i i meh i'm not i don't even i'm not even going to do that because i just told you that's what i don't believe that that isn't the case that they're going to cheat an election oh they're i mean they'll try i mean but i don't think i don't think they're going to succeed too many people want trump to win too many people think that he's like the the answer to counter all of this because he's going after them all i guess i guess the the thing is are the pollsters and everything i i do believe at this point i really do think they're
Starting point is 00:39:16 lying i think they're calling each other but the way who do you who are you voting for i'm voting for button well who are you voting for i'm voting for biden too all right the poll is complete no one else we need to ask boom Boom. Biden's in the win. Well, I think their methodologies are completely broken beyond what they even recognize. Yep. And I think it's because they've, you know, the Internet world is a new thing. I mean, look, Obama was the first president to use Facebook for campaigning. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:39:43 That was one president ago. One. One. So people don't realize that social media's influence and cell phone technology's influence is literally only with Donald Trump. Well, that's why he's pushing the FCC to reform 230. Yep. Yeah, so when did touch cell phones
Starting point is 00:40:00 start to become ubiquitous? 2007? No, I don't know. I'm not sure. When we started getting phones that could actually browse the internet. I remember, man, back in like 06, I'm skateboarding and I had a candy bar phone
Starting point is 00:40:10 with garbage mobile internet you could barely do anything with. Yeah. Then the iPhone came out and it was extremely low resolution, but it had browsers. Then Obama was president for two terms. And throughout that, cell phones rapidly evolved.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Donald Trump becomes president at a time when the internet had become substantially more influential true this is like we're still in the model t era of internet's influence it's a good that's very right you're you're absolutely right we are still babies in the the someone i don't remember who said this but it is it is essentially well you said the model t but it's like the original telephone. You know, when we were first able to actually communicate far distances, like that was amazing for the human race, like what we were able to do. And we skyrocketed. Look at the technological advances we've made. So now the internet is the telephone 2.0 for the human race.
Starting point is 00:41:03 So we're really not even, we don't even know what it's doing to our brains. You know, being able to be this. Definitely breaking them. Changing them. Not breaking them. We're changing. We are evolving, you know, very quickly. People are getting used to the internet.
Starting point is 00:41:19 You know, it's becoming very second nature to just be like, well, let me just look it up. Google it. Oh, I hate that term. But it's like it's become so, you know, second nature for people to just say that, you know. Oh, yeah, just Google it. And, you know, you whatever. You don't even need to use Google. But now it becomes this thing. Well, I could just look up anything I was looking thinking about right now.
Starting point is 00:41:39 I can check it out and look it up. And boom, now I'm suddenly that much more enlightened there's a couple really important things that I'm trying to find real quick that break down when the big shift in the internet occurred and there was a scientist who rejected he refused to do an interview with the New York
Starting point is 00:41:58 Times why can't I find this where is it at and the reason he said is that they'd be it's basically the whole point about how they've become BuzzFeed they decided they they got rid of actual objective journalism. Yeah, I can't seem to find out my timeline. I don't know how long ago it was. It wasn't that long ago. It's hard searching through.
Starting point is 00:42:15 I know. It's not even popping up. Oh, that was annoying. Well, I do have this one tweet right here. And Zach Goldberg tweeted this the new york times white people percentage and racism percentage and you can see how they track wow yeah so this is this well 2012 so here's what i said facebook incentivized shock content like police brutality videos blogs started to take notice at what worked better and ran with shock content and
Starting point is 00:42:43 justice videos. The more keywords stuffed into a post, the farther it would reach. The New York Times took notice and adapted accordingly. So this is what I think the internet has done. It's hyper-polarized everybody. Now you've got people who are enraged. There's the rage tribe, and that's the left. Their identity is anger. It's crazy when somebody will tweet at me something like, all these nasty things about me, and I try to respond politely or in an engaging way, and the only reaction they can have is spewing acid at me. So there was a viral post, we talked about the other day, at the Bill Barr hearings, where this one congresswoman was like was like bill barr how did you not know about these men with guns you know showing up with confederate flags i responded to this female journalist i said but they were on state property
Starting point is 00:43:34 right weren't they that's all i asked and her response was debate me you coward and i was like what what what what why disproportionate yeah i was confused why are you insulting me and why And I was like, what? What? Why? Disproportionate. Yeah, I was confused. Why are you insulting me? And why are you asking me to debate? I've never debated anybody.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I've done like discussions. I'm not, I don't consider myself to be a great debater at all. I wouldn't do it. And then all of a sudden, everyone responded with insults, name calling, just psychotic behavior. The same thing happens whenever I tweet at David Pakman or Kyle Kalinske. And that's why I'm like, I'm not even gonna do it. Kyle Kalinske will tweet something and I'll tweet something that's like in furtherance of the conversation.
Starting point is 00:44:12 And I'll get a thousand tweets of just swears, cusses, slurs. And I'm like, that's what the internet, that's how I see the left, to be honest. Well, I mean, it makes sense. Like they've polarized everybody who is saturated in the Internet. So you're either one side or the other side. Now they've really like split us.
Starting point is 00:44:33 And this is what I don't think they're taking into consideration. Not everybody's on the Internet. Most of Americans were alive and prospering before the Internet became such a massive thing that we're now discovering. It's like this is a new generation that we're seeing. That's why all the people that are out there, you know, throwing bombs and complaining are a younger group. Like it seems like they're all in their mid 20s, you know, coming out of college, maybe early 30s. I don't know. But it's like they were raised on the Internet and they were that exact graph shows that they were affected by that. You know, so they're polarized.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Of course, they're so angry. But most people are not. Most people are like, what are they doing? They're crazy. Use your brains. Rasmussen actually published something recently because Donald Trump tweeted about Twitter's bias and all that. Rasmussen replied by showing that in a poll they did, the 18 to like 35 or whatever is
Starting point is 00:45:29 very likely to be influenced by social media in terms of politics, or somewhat, and all other demographics were like not really that much. That's exactly what I would have guessed. Yeah, exactly. So well, here's the danger. This is, I think, why big tech wants to skew everything as
Starting point is 00:45:46 hard to the far left as possible because what's going to happen is i've long explained i just took the eight values test we uh you know it's it's a political alignment test and guess what tim pool is a liberal that's what it said centrist liberalism that's what i've long classic classic liberal not classic liberal No. New age liberalism. Not neoliberal. General old liberalism. Not far leftist. Explain that then.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Explain that. What does that mean? Classical liberalism is more towards the free market than I am. I'm more mixed economy. Okay. So this is like what liberals were 10, 15 years ago. Yeah. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Yeah. Classical liberal is a reference to like john lock and like old school so classical liberal would refer to like a center-right position libertarian position okay social liberal is center-left which is probably closer to where i am but general liberalism so i mean our company our country is is a liberal country you know right isn't it based on in the true sense of the word yeah not the colloquial sense of the word. Okay. But anyway.
Starting point is 00:46:47 It seemed to be changing quite often. Now it's just the crazy left or the liberals, like libtards. But this is the point. Come on. If when the far left says they're centrists and they've been saying it over and over again, it's absolutely not true it's an attempt to shift the whole wheel so that someone like me who's actually center left will become right wing and they'll become center that's how i've long described it you know tucker carlson did it did a debate with jen kuger of the young turks and they agreed on a whole bunch of things about economic policy but they will call him far right
Starting point is 00:47:21 in what sense is he far right yeah someone called someone called me far right yesterday, and I was like, Wait, where? What? Someone on Twitter, and I'm like, Do you watch a show? Do you realize that? I'm pretty centered. You know, I saw a truck with a massive Don't Tread On Me flag. Yeah, Gadsden flag. It was massive. Yeah, the Gadsden flag.
Starting point is 00:47:41 It was cool to see. It's a symbol of liberty and freedom. Just wanted to throw that in the air. But this is what I've long said. If you're someone who has traditionally been liberal, if you agreed with Bernie Sanders in 2015, you are far right. No joke. Bernie Sanders said no to open borders several times, no to free trade several times. The World Socialist website called Bernie Sanders a nationalist capitalist.
Starting point is 00:48:05 That's right. And they were right. They were. Bernie Sanders believed in a welfare state, but in a capitalist market to sustain it. And he believed in protecting our borders, ending free trade deals, and slowing immigration. I liked him in 2016. And they called him a national capitalist. Wow. And then, but once it got in 2016, he started to adopt more of these weird
Starting point is 00:48:28 intersectional establishment policy ideas. Open borders, for instance. You know what I think happened? Bernie Sanders said in 2015, open borders is a Koch brothers proposal. It's a far right proposal. Then Donald Trump won on the Republican side. And the never Trumpers, those people Bernie Sanders were criticizing, jumped over to the Democrats and said, we're with you.
Starting point is 00:48:48 And so all of a sudden, the Democrats started adopting that establishment politic. So, you know, I think the Democratic, the Democrats today are a weird mixture of Republican establishment refugees and Democratic establishment refugees. Right. Well, they're being attacked by the far left because there's a lot of democrats that i mean i i consider myself a democrat for a long time i mean i didn't i didn't i had no idea what i was doing politically yeah you know so but i know a lot of people that i'm talking to now that i'm they're coming to me and like actual friends of
Starting point is 00:49:22 mine they're like what's up why don't you explain yourself to me? What about this? What about this? What about this? Because I'm a Democrat and I don't understand why this, this, this, this and this. And I'll straight up talk through all of them. And they're like, wow, I agree with you on all of those things. And I'm like, yeah, I know. It's once you know the truth, once you see what's actually going on, it's fairly straightforward.
Starting point is 00:49:42 I was talking to Crowder. Yeah. And I said, look, man, I've all and this was this was months ago. I can't remember when it was talking to crowder yeah and i said look man i've all and this was this was months ago i can't remember exactly when it was for stephen crowder if i wasn't familiar uh he's a conservative comedian and i was saying things like i've always considered myself like a left-leaning independent and i favor democrats on a lot of issues never never really paid attention much to what the republicans are all about never really agreed with them and then he asked me about pro-life and pro-choice and i said right this has become a real
Starting point is 00:50:09 problem for me because i grew up catholic on the south side of chicago yeah and then my family around the time i was like 11 or 12 just totally like got away from the church and became more agnostic than anything but still regular americans at least as far as my family was concerned on the south side being chicago democrats thought that being pro-choice meant was it like safe legal but rare like abortion should not be something you celebrate and or something that you you use as like a prophylactic yeah exactly it's like like oops got pregnant better go to the doctor yeah yeah like that that's gross you know it's it's like a last resort as it as like how you just described it. It was supposed to be in extreme circumstances. That's what it was like growing up in Chicago,
Starting point is 00:50:53 which is blue. And, you know, they tell they tell me today, well, Chicago has always been conservative Democrat that you're admitting it. And I'm like, dude, Chicago was one of the Democrat strongholds, period, that will never change. I mean, maybe it'll change because of Trump. I think it's changing, man. I definitely think so. Well, so here was the problem
Starting point is 00:51:12 that I brought up. I'm talking to Crowder about it. I'm like, look, man, I'm pro-choice for sure. But I definitely agree with Tulsi Gabbard, who she said there should be limits up to the third trimester.
Starting point is 00:51:21 And there's got to be some kind of, you know, line that we can compromise on. Yeah, I agree. And that was like i like tulsi gabbard yeah now she she's out and what's the position what what did michelle wolf say post i don't even know it's not it's no longer gross now it's no longer pro-choice it's pro-abortion yeah basically and crowder was like the republican side right now is negotiating certain exemptions. That's way better than just them being like, go for it, right? And I'm like, I guess, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:51 So what's happening is the far left has moved so far left that the closest thing I could consider is someone who's to the right of me because the far left is gone. Yeah, can't even see him anymore. Exactly. It's like you got to climb up really, really high and is that them over there they're falling off the cliff that's where we're at of course they say the opposite but i'll tell you what man i read the news all day every day if they're claiming right now they won in portland when they're agreeing to the terms of the dhs and the dhs is saying we're not gonna leave we got they live you got schooled or what
Starting point is 00:52:21 was that what did he say to him something like that whatever you got you got goded, or what did he say to him? Something like that, whatever. You got, you got, got. No, we won. What are you talking about? They live in a delusional, you know, fake reality. They do, clearly. Where they have these Democratic politicians saying, we won everyone, and they're like, yay. And then it's like, but they didn't, you know. They still can't accept that Trump won. They've been screaming nonstop about it for years.
Starting point is 00:52:42 Since 2016. Surprise, he's the president. When are you going to get that in your head? It's the weirdest thing to me that there was a meme that said, Trump is your president, because people were saying, not my president. So the right responded with, yes, he is. And I'm like, why is it so hard to say Trump's your president? I was like, I didn't vote for him. I wasn't a fan of him. Yeah, you can say you don't like him. He's still the president. It's so weird. He still got there. He still is there. I want to show this thread right here.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Goodness. From Aram Sabeti. He is a gentleman inventor, founder and former CEO. And he has this Twitter thread. This is the one I was looking for. He says, sorry, New York Times. I declined to be interviewed. The harassment of Barry Weiss and Scott Alexander are only two of the more recent reasons I
Starting point is 00:53:20 no longer trust your paper. Helping elect Donald Trump is another. I encourage others in tech to boycott the New York Times. I don't know what he means by helping elect Donald Trump, but he received this message saying, I'm a columnist at New York Times. I found your experiments with GPT-3. Very interesting. I'm writing, you know, are you free to chat? Blah, blah, blah. Best. He then says the data makes it plain that the New York Times has abandoned its commitment
Starting point is 00:53:45 to nonpartisan reporting. When the internet threatened their business, they made a devil's bargain to amplify outrage and us versus them psychology. Racism wasn't a new problem in 2014, but their stock being down was. Take a look at this, these graphs. Zing. I wish you can, we can zoom in on that. So, so yeah, it's going to be hard enough
Starting point is 00:54:06 to see for everybody but i can explain it the first little box says from 1970 to 2018 instances of the word its word frequency sexism bounces around and then around 2010 it skyrockets straight up misogyny straight up sexist patriarchy, mansplaining, toxic masculinity, male privilege, feminism, women, women empowerment. These words, they're so obvious. Racism, racist, racists, institutional racism, systemic racism, whiteness, white privilege. All of these words, they hockey stick around the exact same time. Wow. 2010.
Starting point is 00:54:41 When they made a devil's bargain. Yeah. Racism wasn't a new new problem but their stock being down was talk about a zinger boom look at this man and i've seen this stuff before this is when the new york times realized they weren't going to be able to compete with the likes of buzzfeed vox the huffington post the huffington post was getting big because people loved going in the comments and yelling at each other so all of these companies made a devil's bargain. We are going to sell out.
Starting point is 00:55:10 We're going to make content specifically to make you hate everyone else and encourage you to fight each other in the comments and just inflame tensions because we want to extract as much as we can from the system before it blows up. And just sit behind and just watch you two battle while we make all the money. It reminds me of a kind of digital fracking, you know? Yep. It's the housing bubble popping in digital fracking, you know? Yep. It's the housing bubble popping in 2008. Well, this is the media bubble. It's popping.
Starting point is 00:55:30 It's about to pop. Definitely. It's been tumbling quite a bit. Like no matter what they do, they're being strained and it's collapsing. Yep. So what do they do? Because they've all basically decided,
Starting point is 00:55:40 well, let's just be evil. We'll be evil. Hey, why not? Let's be open about it too. They're not even holding back anymore. They start running fake stories about people like me. And they start going after other
Starting point is 00:55:52 pundits and personalities on social media. Their direct competition. And banning them. Getting them banned. Who wrote to... Someone wrote... Was it CNN who wrote to someone? You should ban them because they're our competition. We talked about it like a month ago.
Starting point is 00:56:07 I don't remember. Oh, yeah, the Federalist. Yeah, the Federalist. They didn't say because they're our competition. Right. I know, but come on. Come on. Yep.
Starting point is 00:56:15 And it happened. And I believe to this day – I could be wrong – that you cannot Google search my YouTube channel. Wow, really? Yeah. So if you go to google it may it may it may have changed it may have changed it's this show it's our show now you can probably find yes and it probably helped you out yep so for the longest time because of this fake news if you tried and if you tried to youtube search youtube tim pool's youtube or tim pool youtube it will
Starting point is 00:56:41 it won't show you my channel yeah it's only only IRL. Only? You did it? Yeah, I just checked it. Only IRL because this is a new channel. And your Twitter. Yeah. So what happened is fake news wrote fake things about me. Of course. And it's really funny because I worked for Vice. I worked for ABC News. Within the span of three weeks, Vice News wrote that I was an online
Starting point is 00:56:59 lefty and a right winger. Both? Yes. Yep. I've had the today show air overt lies they made up entirely wow the today show because we're the competition for them yeah and they're desperate so what happens youtube also makes a deal with the devil seeing the same problems youtube gets scared they're being attacked by legacy media and tells legacy media we'll do whatever you say. You know, on that note, I'm just going to take
Starting point is 00:57:29 a little tidbit of time to tell you to share. Please share our videos. Share our show. First rule of IRL. Send it into the airwaves because we are not CNN. We don't have the power of Google helping us out. Go ahead. Check this out. I want to show you this
Starting point is 00:57:45 Aram, his Twitter thread. He says, How does the New York Times compete with YouTube? Identity equals virality. Was the BuzzFeed formula with articles like, X things only a Y would understand. Ezra Klein says, Outrage is deeply connected to identity. The New York
Starting point is 00:58:01 Times has now functionally BuzzFeed with a cultured facade. He highlights Ezra Klein. He says, Ezra Klein does a great job explaining what happened. The New York Times has now functionally buzzfeed with a cultured facade. He highlights Ezra Klein. He says, Ezra Klein does a great job explaining what happened. The internet means news has to compete with more entertainment options and no longer has to appeal to any particular geographic region containing people with diverse values. The producers of politicized media are themselves the most voracious consumers of politicized media. The resulting distorted worldview is what leads the New York Times to assure us Trump had no chance in 2016. What's happened? What happened in 2016 with them saying Trump was going to lose is still happening to this day. They don't want to anger their audience. They don't want to say things like Trump is actually winning because their audience will get mad and they won't click the article. So they tell the audience whatever
Starting point is 00:58:49 they want to hear. And you know how I know this? I was told to do the same thing when I worked for an ABC News Univision joint venture, when they told me straight up, quote, side with the audience. What does that mean? I asked. And they said, you know, you know, side with the audience. What does that mean? I asked. And they said, you know, side with the audience, right? What does the audience expect? And so I asked the president of the company, are you saying that if there is a fact-based news story that could offend our audience, we won't report it? And he said, I think that's fair, yes. We were in a big meeting for the presidential conventions in 2016. And someone asked at this big meeting of like 40 people, how are we playing this? Are we left? Are we right center?
Starting point is 00:59:29 And they said, side with the audience. That's gross. Who's the audience? Young progressives, they said. And I, and my response to this, you know, I would, I kept, I kept telling these guys, the company lit all the money on fire when it went up in flames. And I said, your audience is not young progressives. You are targeting young progressives who make up a tiny percentage of the overall marketplace.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Well, you know, we talked about it earlier. Who's the demographic that are mostly online? The people that are, they are the younger generations. So they're trying to target the people that are they are the younger generations so they're they're target they're trying to target the people that are active on the internet and anyone in their 20s right now is active on the internet always every day they're constantly on their phone scoping whatever sharing that's the norm now but it's not for the older generations they were trying to make basically a 20-year plan thinking if young are progressive, then we want to make media for them so they will age into it and we will have a captured audience once they move into their 30s
Starting point is 01:00:32 and become the powerful key demo. It didn't work, probably because for the same reason Donald Trump won, they don't understand what's really going on and they're all spinning around in a toilet with each other thinking they're getting reality. But it is a bubble. When Bill Barr was asked about systemic racism by the Democrat, he said, actually, a police officer is more likely to be, I think, 18 times more likely to be killed by, you know, an individual on the street than a black person is to be killed by a police officer. It is 18 times. Something like that. And their response was like, how could he think that? He must be in a bubble madeline dean i think her name was said he must be in a bubble and it's amazing it's like have you considered you're in a bubble someone's in
Starting point is 01:01:13 a bubble how disrespectful he was so disrespectful i bet that pissed me that pissed me off they're trying they're trying to say like he's in's in a bubble. He was disrespectful. Like, that was literally all of you the entire time were sitting in a bubble, being as disrespectful as possible to cut him off so he couldn't actually slam you with the truth. If someone knew this, if there was any one person who knew the stats as it pertains to crime in this country, I'd imagine the attorney general would be one of the foremost experts. Yeah, that's a good point. Running the DOJ, the FBI, all of our... What? Could you imagine a Republican yelling at a doctor about vaccines causing autism or something? Just telling the doctor, I know better than you. I know you must be in a bubble. And then being like, dude, listen, I'm a doctor.
Starting point is 01:02:11 That's what they're doing. The reason I use that specifically is because they constantly make that argument like they are the people who are allowed to defy the experts and no one else. Yeah. So when you have, for instance, doctors stepping up talking about certain medications and then they're like, ban all of those doctors. Don't let them speak on the Internet because we are the experts. I'm like, no, it's like, wait, are you doctors? No, no. We don't need to look at the information. But what do all of their silly memes say?
Starting point is 01:02:39 Why won't the right listen to the doctors? I haven't seen those memes, but it is. I tend to avoid memes when it comes to masks. And when it comes to vaccines, they all complain about how the right won't listen to doctors. And I'm like, yeah, there are a lot of people that won't. They absolutely won't. You know what? I defer to the experts. I'll tell you what, when Bill Barr sitting there as the expert gives you an answer, you don't say I'm right and you're wrong. These people live in a bubble. Listen, I want to show you this chart. These people live in a bubble. Listen, I want to show you this chart again and explain to you New York Times word usage frequency. I feel bad for these people. You know why? Why? They grew up being told that the New York Times
Starting point is 01:03:14 was the gray lady, the paper of record. Oh yeah. And so they believe it. They trust it. It's our good and honest journalism, but they're not getting it. Look at all this insanity. Almost every single one of these little boxes is a hockey stick. Cultural appropriation, microaggressions, bullied, exploited, discrimination. And these Democrats are reading all of this, believing it as law.
Starting point is 01:03:36 They're in a bubble. They're being lied to by a media organization that is dying and trying to extract as much as possible before the ship collapses yep then they go nailed it dude then they can't understand why the attorney general tells them you were wrong that the systemic racism problem you're bringing up isn't real and they say how could that be i read it in new york times reclaiming my time reclaiming my time before
Starting point is 01:04:00 you're able to speak any more truth at me that That's why they wouldn't let him speak. I know. Because these Democrats are smart enough to get elected. They're the grifters who know they're manipulating the ignorant who are walking like lemmings off the cliff. And so they're like, well, as long as they're walking off the cliff and they hand me a couple gold shillings before they jump off the edge, I'm happy. And that's what it is. The Republicans were more than happy to let Bill Barr say whatever he wanted.
Starting point is 01:04:26 Mr. Barr, can you answer the question? Go for it. Because they knew that Bill Barr was going to just lay it out and they had nothing to fear. So look, man, when you hear from these people that, like what this man here, Aram, is saying, that there's politicized media. It is a fact. We are absolutely politicized media here at TimCast IRL. Definitely. I try my best to make sure I'm following an eclectic bunch, and I try my best to understand where these narratives are coming from. And I think it's fair to say that when you have the right being the big tent with
Starting point is 01:05:02 former progressives, former liberals, moderates, centrists, conservatives, and staunch conservatives all agreeing the left is going off the rails. We're also all agreeing the New York Times is pumping out fake news. And then we can see literal evidence they're doing it. I hate to say it, but we're not on the wrong side of this one. Nope. I'll put it very, very bluntly. When you see someone respond to the acting secretary of the DHS, you got smacked down thinking they won this battle. When in reality, the state has agreed to deploy state police officers to provide security. They're not abolishing the police. They're emboldening the police. They're expanding the police.
Starting point is 01:05:42 They lost but still think they won who got smackdown hmm yeah it wasn't the dhs it was you guys so i'd be willing to be peaceful protesters oh yeah yeah if you missed that earlier the peaceful protesters throwing them all throwing no no it's an instant campfire oh i'm sorry instant campfire instant campfire instant warming method yeah yeah yeah yeah so i'll tell you what man i don't know what we can expect to happen come november i'll say it 50 billion times but based on the fact that all of these media companies are in the same bubble believing the garbage coming out of the new york times they they think they're gonna win they think they're gonna win the same thing happened look at this so they don't have actually you know what They think they're going to win. The same thing happened. Look at this.
Starting point is 01:06:25 So they don't have, actually, you know what? I think I have the other tweet right here. Around 2010 is when white people and racism started skyrocketing at the New York Times. And you can see, you know, around, you know, 2014 and 15, it was very, very high. Hey, that coincides at the time that Donald Trump was campaigning. They were convinced he was losing because they have to keep telling themselves we're winning.
Starting point is 01:06:49 That's a good point. They want to tell everybody how dumb Trump is because Trump is dumb gets clicks. That's true. When in reality, most people liked him. And newsflash, he's not dumb. He knows what he's doing. Yeah. And he built the best economy in 70 years, you said?
Starting point is 01:07:04 Is that right? Something like 60 years. Something like 70 or 80 years is ridiculous. That's crazy. Until COVID. True, but that's not his fault. Right. And people still trust him more on the economy than Joe Biden.
Starting point is 01:07:14 So now you can look at this graph and what do we see? Up to 2020, it's worse than it's ever been. So why should I assume things got better if the media still doesn't understand why they were wrong in 2016? Their bubble is just getting smaller and smaller and smaller. So the circle of the people that they talk to is becoming more potent, if you will. I have some bad news there. Oh, goodness.
Starting point is 01:07:37 Subscriptions are growing for the New York Times. Their revenue is up. For American subscriptions? That's a good point. Or just internet subscriptions general subscriptions okay because so that doesn't mean anything to me but it also it's also fair to point out too they may just be capturing more of the far left their subscriptions may be growing because they're catering now to people who are socialists who want to read the stuff that's in that little
Starting point is 01:08:02 bubble that they give right so the new y York Times used to be more centrist. Right. And now that they're moving further and further left, yeah, their subscribers are going up because they're dragging some people with them and absorbing some more far lefty types. Is there any graph that shows how many people they lost over the past 15 years? You know, people going, what are they talking about? I'm not going to follow these people. And my subscription goes down. And then, sure, it's now starting to rise again then that makes sense
Starting point is 01:08:29 because they lost a lot of people so now sure they're they've got a little uptick i'll tell you what man crazy lefties you know i think there are a lot of like disaffected liberals they don't speak up and so they get ignored and that could be one of Trump's greatest advantages. Yeah. So I tweeted something once about being a disaffected liberal, and it got retweeted by Mike Cernovich. Okay. And he has a bunch of Trump supporter followers. So as soon as he retweeted it, I started getting a bunch of replies from Trump supporters. Some lefty then commented saying, look at all of the replies, Tim. Look what you've become. Your followers are all conservatives. I responded with, actually, it's because a Trump supporter retweeted me.
Starting point is 01:09:11 Yeah. And then all of a sudden, a whole bunch of people responded that they were liberals that have been following me for years. They just don't tweet. And I was like, boom, there it is. Nice. A lot of the people who followed me, I have people who follow me since back at Occupy Wall Street.
Starting point is 01:09:24 I get emails from people who are like, been following me since Occupy. I can't believe what's happened to the left. A lot of the people during Occupy Wall Street were very libertarian, very much so in favor of WikiLeaks, were against the, you know, they believe wealth inequality is a big problem. But they're not socialists. They just think that the working class people need, you know, we need a strong middle class and a strong working class. Oh, I'm finding a lot of similarities with my beliefs right now. And they don't like war. They want our troops brought back.
Starting point is 01:09:52 I'm a libertarian. I think that really sums up my political views the best, is libertarian. I find something, you know, it was really fascinating that there was, I think it was the American conservative argued Trump should have fired Bolton and hired Tulsi Gabbard. Good point. Because she's anti-intervention. That's true. And they were like, the true conservative position is not to be in foreign wars. And if Tulsi would get Trump to do that, then that's the right choice. And it would attract many liberals who think that he's bringing somebody on who's got more liberal sensibilities. But I do find it fascinating that there are a bunch of core issues that unite
Starting point is 01:10:26 conservatives and liberals under Trump because Trump ran as a moderate. So you want our troops out of the Middle East? You're not voting for Biden? I had a friend of mine message me about collateral murder. Middle Eastern war stuff. And so she's super far left and I was like, so you're voting for
Starting point is 01:10:41 Trump? She's like, no. And I'm like, are you going to vote for Biden? Yeah. Oh, so you're supporting intervention in war. I'm sorry, man. I get it. You might not like the guy. You may have problems with his policies.
Starting point is 01:10:52 But if your issue is war, the best bet you have right now in terms of actually some policy that you'd like is Trump. And I'm not saying it's perfect. Not in the least bit. Yeah. But Joe Biden? Nah. So I'm looking at this stuff, man, and I'm really wondering just how bad the bubble is.
Starting point is 01:11:12 But I'll tell you this. Go on YouTube and look up any political issue, and it's crazy how you'll see what's popular and what isn't. Left-wing content does not do as well as it used to. Nope. Now, there is a button, but there is mainstream that does way better, right? What's popular and what isn't left wing content does not do as well as it used to. No. Now there is a dozen, but there is mainstream that does way better. Right. So, so the interesting thing is when it comes to individuals who search and choose, it tends to be moderate to conservative anti-establishment content.
Starting point is 01:11:38 When it comes to the general default liberal, they're going to watch NBC, CNN cnn msnbc you know whatever and just get those fake fake news comments yeah well you know what it may be that none of this actually matters in the end i like this yes let's let's let's evolve the conversation to something a bit more serious. Is it? It is. Okay. Yeah. You want to read the title? Sure. Donald Trump says he is looking at banning TikTok amid fears it can be used by China to spy. And after Joe Biden's campaign staff are told to delete it. Joe Biden told his staff to nuke the app. Same with the military. Yeah. And bandit wow so the tiktok apocalypse is coming and all these famous tiktokers are freaking out because they built a career many of them built a career on it you know what they're doing what are they doing they're going to a different
Starting point is 01:12:35 platform yep i heard that people with millions and millions of followers are just hopping to a different platform good good yeah awesome that's what needs to happen. You want to know why I said this was more serious? This is this is all part of the ongoing China conflict. And like I mentioned earlier, the Republicans coronavirus spending bill included a bunch of really interesting things. And that's when I tweeted, are they gearing up for some kind of war? Yeah, it was funny because I got a bunch of people who responded with disdain for the conservatives saying things like just like the democrats they're gonna shove in a bunch of things they shouldn't into this bill just to get whatever they want and i'm thinking like yeah maybe like the new fbi building maybe but also they're trying to get money for military expenditures. Yeah, and why?
Starting point is 01:13:26 You know, really? Honestly? What's the reasoning? I don't know entirely, but let's try. I want to pull up this tweet from Bernie Sanders on my Twitter thread. Let me try and. Oh, searching Twitter threads. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:38 Don't you know it? This is exciting stuff, isn't it? Everyone? It's just the best. Especially when. I'm not going gonna be able to find it here we go bernie sanders says the gop covid 19 bill includes two billion dollars for f-35s 1.75 billion for an fbi building 1 billion for surveillance planes 375 million for armored
Starting point is 01:13:59 vehicles 360 million for missile defense 2833 million for Apache helicopters, and zero for millions facing eviction. It's dead on arrival. Perhaps. But my response to this was, are they preparing for a war or something? Yeah. I kind of think they are. Literally. I mean, we've talked about it a lot, and there's one place that they are. Yeah. Literally. I mean, we've talked about it a lot.
Starting point is 01:14:25 And there's one place that. China. Yeah. Thank you, Mr. President. Yeah. I mean, how many times have we talked about, you know, what's going on over there? You know, now that we look at them teaming up with Pakistan and India is basically going, come at us, China. We're ready for you.
Starting point is 01:14:44 And, you know, Australia now isn't neutral anymore. They went to the UN and said, we are no longer neutral. We are siding with the United States in the South China Sea, and we're going to be joining them in stopping China from encroaching on other people's lands. It's like this is all happening. So, you know, I'm watching it all progress. You know, it's like I want to go full conspiracy conspiracy on this one. I mean that somewhat facetiously. I want to go full speculative on this one.
Starting point is 01:15:10 So we've got the banning of TikTok. OK, we've got Trump withdrawing 12000 troops from Germany in a move that will cost billions and take years. You want to know why this story is interesting? Why? Trump says the withdrawal is due to the fact that Germany isn't paying their proper GDP percentage. Okay. That they have to pay 2%. They have to pay 2% of their GDP for our military to be there.
Starting point is 01:15:34 They're not. I think they have the number listed. It's like 1.39 or something. He's been talking about that for a while now. He has. But what this article from c from cnn note notes is that they're going to move many troops to italy and i can't remember what and belgium but italy and belgium have they pay a lower gdp than germany does okay so it doesn't seem like
Starting point is 01:15:56 trump is being forthright about why he's really withdrawing 12 000 troops from germany yeah interesting unless there's a strategic troop placement, deployment, in the event of an upcoming war. I have a close friend who is in the Air Force, stationed in Germany. I could ask him. I'm going to hit him up.
Starting point is 01:16:17 Let me see what's going on. Yeah, for sure. So, to entertain the conspiratorial, more speculative, it's not really a conspiracy, you know, I was thinking about this story. Trump's withdrawing 12,000. Did you know we have 36,000 troops in Germany? No, that's crazy. Wow. Yeah, that's crazy, man. So why? What are we worried about? Somebody going to invade Germany? I don't I don't think they're worried. I don't know. So what is he going to do with all these troops? It's going to cost billions of dollars to relocate them to
Starting point is 01:16:44 the US. Maybe that's it. Maybe Trump really is playing to do with all these troops? It's going to cost billions of dollars to relocate them to the U.S.? Maybe that's it. Maybe Trump really is playing hardball with like, okay, it's a big ask, right? If you're not going to pay, we're pulling out. Then Germany's going to go, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, okay, we'll pay. That seems likely, right? Yeah. Like, it seems like a Trumpian move.
Starting point is 01:16:57 Considering what's going on with China, though. Considering what's going on with the coin shortages and just the the the weird tiktok stuff and the the three gorges dam oh yeah satellite surveillance showing pakistan and china are forming ranks on the india on india's border yep i mean it really does seem like uh war is coming and so when i see this i'm like how could it how could it be that we publicly announce where we move our troops to? Like, that's not good for war. You know, I watch these old movies about World War II and stuff, and they'll capture an American soldier and be like, there are the troops.
Starting point is 01:17:35 Where are they stationed? Now it's like Trump just tells CNN and CNN announces it. That doesn't seem to make sense. Yeah. Unless, of course, they're not saying where they're going legitimately and they're withdrawing them. But some are remaining in Italy and Belgium for other reasons, like it's actually a strategic deployment, you know, redeployment to other areas because of a potential looming conflict.
Starting point is 01:17:56 Yeah. So there's a coin shortage going on. And I keep seeing people ask about it. No one really knows. And there's an article that came out today saying banks are the mints. I guess the government is urging people to spend their change because we need it in circulation or they need a hold of all that metal. So well, so here's why I want to speculate on that. I don't understand how it is that there's a lack of metal. I'm sorry, a lack of coins because we're not spending them. Are they arguing that all of a sudden everybody took all of their change and
Starting point is 01:18:24 threw it in a bucket and stop spending it? People are still buying food. True. Like where do you spend your change? You don't go to the movies and dump a bunch of quarters on the table. Yeah. But at the same time, it's like how many businesses, what's the percentage of businesses that have closed over the past four months? Are you going to a restaurant with a bag full of change and being like, here's my change? I haven't used change in years. But when you go to a 7-Eleven or a Walgreens or Walmart, you might grab a candy bar and dump some change out. No, I never, ever pay with change.
Starting point is 01:18:53 They'll give me change. I put it in a jar. And when the jar is full, I bring it to my bank. Then maybe that's what's been happening. Yeah. That people are no longer spending coins. That's a simple solution, right? Yeah, I guess.
Starting point is 01:19:02 But how come the coin shortage only hit now if everyone's already been doing that covid didn't make people decide to put their change in a jar that's a weird cultural thing i haven't looked into this much i don't know except unless they need metal unless it's i mean and when was the last time that they were taking all the coins world war ii they needed to make shells again i don't don't know that much about it. Oh, you're looking up World War II. Yeah, the war bonds things, right. I don't know if there's anything in here. Metal, tokens, no idea. But we should get rid of the penny anyway.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Yeah, I found an article about it. It costs more money to make pennies than they're worth. Yeah, I've heard they've been kicking that around for a while. What have you found? That's from World War II as well. It says, in the depths of World War II, metals used for America's coinage reflected the exigencies of battle and wartime prosperity at home
Starting point is 01:19:54 as the Mint tried new metals to replace those needed for weaponry abroad. This is part of a five-part look at the way war shaped America's coinage. It's talking about how World War II challenged the Mint. They had a decade of low production because of the great depression wartime prosperity dramatically increased the demand for coins and they just kind of mixed it in so it's a little different from where we are now but it's not nothing they were trying to change out silver copper and nickel
Starting point is 01:20:17 and the coins and kind of balance it out yeah yeah so i'm just i'm just being very very speculative because the coin shortage is weird. Yeah, that is really weird. And I was looking it up, like, why are we having a coin shortage? I mean, it could just be that people are dumping their coins into buckets. But there's a lot of other weird things. A lot of stores saying they won't accept cash, which is strange. What's this? Okay, the U.S. Coin Task Force will tackle the shortage
Starting point is 01:20:41 as it leaves some shortchanged amid the coronavirus pandemic. What is this? So it's talking about if you've tried to scramble scramble up some change recently you might have noticed there's a coin shortage the federal government is setting up a task force to get coins back into circulation so i guess the u.s mint closed briefly which stopped the production of money like all together and people were staying at home and handing over less cash at stores and businesses like adam was saying i mean that makes sense but it's weird does that mean the mint is the only reason we have coins in circulation is because the mint prints like
Starting point is 01:21:08 makes them yeah and people just throw change in buckets that's literally what they're saying it says they're locked up in people's houses piggy banks and jars or locked up in closed businesses yeah so i think adam was right yeah say it what that i was right about what i don't know just i just want to hear you say it no press wrong press the wrong button wrong there you go we pre-recorded that so so look it could all be much more simple it's it's maybe i don't know if fun or silly is the right word in speculating about war no but i think there's a lot of I don't know the right word is for it, but it's like,
Starting point is 01:21:46 with all of the news coming out about China, India, the South China Sea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, I mean, Trump's executive order was brutal. Yeah. Absolutely brutal.
Starting point is 01:21:58 Like seizing the assets. Dude, he's knocking them out of the park, these executive orders this year. Did you see what happened today with the hearing with Big Tech? A little bit. I can't remember the guy's name, but I wish I probably should have had it. He asked all the Big Tech companies to commit to not using Chinese Uyghur slave labor.
Starting point is 01:22:15 And what did they say to that? Man, you know what they could have said? Agreed. Yeah. They didn't. Oh, my goodness. They were like, Congressman, I would like to say you're absolutely right. Slavery is abhorrent, and we agree it is something that no one should do.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Uh-huh. Basically like, no, we want it. I had to take a break today. I went to looking at guitars. I bought a guitar today. Sounds nice. You got a nice new guitar. Nice break.
Starting point is 01:22:42 It looks like it's new, but it looks like it's old, but it's actually new. It's Sounds nice. You got a nice new guitar. It looks like it's new, but it looks like it's old, but it's actually new. It's very nice. Let me show it off because I love it. She's a beauty. It's like a matte. It's a Martin. It was a little expensive. A little? Yeah. Well, yeah, it was worth worth it though. Love it. I'll tell you what, in light of everything that's been going on, whether or not there's a war with China, I think we are in for a wild economic collapse. Something, I mean, man, we keep talking about this bubble popping and it's like there's a lot of bubbles right now. All across the board. It's going to shift.
Starting point is 01:23:23 It's got to be said. What? Trump has proven that he can make an economy work. Absolutely. right now look all across the board it's got it's gonna shift it's got to be said what trump has proven that he can make an economy work absolutely and if we are facing a collapse due to the coronavirus and the printing of money why would you vote for joe biden trump 2020 i mean look you can you can like at some point you know the way i described it before was like you gave your choice between let's say you got to hire a plumber because your toilet broke alright your toilets broken it's spraying water
Starting point is 01:23:48 all over the place it's a nightmare and two contractors show up and one guy's in a wheelchair sleeping and the other guy's just smack talking like crazy and he's kind of like to like your wife is going like oh he won't shut up and you're like yeah but honey he's like he's got the appropriate plumber but
Starting point is 01:24:03 so you know no it's like we gotta like. He's got the appropriate plumber butt. So, you know, we gotta trust it. He's got the tools. He's got five-star rating where everyone basically says online they can't stand the way he talks. But man, does he fix a toilet. And fast. What are you gonna do? You're gonna pick the guy who's sleeping? Like, you might not like the guy the way he talks.
Starting point is 01:24:18 You might not like the way he talks. You might really hate his attitude and think he's gross. But man, he's gonna fix the toilet. So just let him go and fix the toilet. And go about your business. It's only for a little while. Eventually, your toilet's fixed. Then you'll come and get a new plumber later.
Starting point is 01:24:32 That's kind of what it's like. So look, it looks like we are in for an extreme wild ride in terms of economic pop. They're printing money like crazy. People are not going to be buying houses. House prices, I imagine, are going to plummet. But Trump just did this new rule change, getting rid of this urbanization plan for suburbs. So that's expecting suburban houses to actually go up. Maybe that was part of it. They knew that demand was going to drop as people are losing their jobs. A lot of people are broke. Unemployment is really high relative to where it was. And so who's going to drop as people are losing their jobs. A lot of people are broke. Unemployment is really high relative to where it was. And so who's going to be buying these houses?
Starting point is 01:25:08 So the prices might go down. Now there might actually be demand because there's a safe haven from all the chaos of the big cities. There was no guarantee under Biden's plan, under Obama's plan. So Trump does this. I'll tell you what, though, man, I think that... That was a huge move. I just to say like people i see a lot of people like upset about it but you know i one of the problems that i've noticed is the welfare state it's people that are used to getting governmental help and then instead of using the help to get off of the help they get used to the help and stay on the help and then they they succumb to the system of being not accountable to their for themselves and it's an addiction bro and that and that is something that like what that did was it's like no people need to be accountable for themselves
Starting point is 01:25:57 and earn their way to do stuff in this in this world and that's how it should be it's an addiction it is exactly so it's funny because there's a meme it's a sign that says please do not feed the animals because they'll become dependent and that's just that's it that's the image boom but conservatives share it like hey i wonder uh does this apply to people like yeah if you just keep giving them what they need as the saying goes you know teach a man to fish feed him for the rest of his life yeah there's also another saying if you light a man a man to fish, feed him for the rest of his life. There's also another saying. If you light a man a fire, you will warm him for a day. If you light a man on fire, you will warm him for the rest of his life.
Starting point is 01:26:31 Also true. Also very, very true. Worth noting. So with the mass printing of money, with the mass unemployment, the housing market's going to explode. We're already seeing delinquency. We're already seeing, you know, like people aren't paying their rent. They're not paying their mortgages. So what's going to happen?
Starting point is 01:26:46 Mortgage-backed securities are going to crash again like they did in 2008. It is going to be a wild ride. And already metals are spiking. And so I asked somebody who – I'm not going to pretend like this friend of mine is the foremost expert, but there's somebody who loves Bitcoin and metals and stuff. And they were like, this sounds like we're going to see a major dollar drop off so like people buying metals because they're scared the dollar is going to be destabilized amid all of this mass printing of cash yeah i tried talking to my friends about it man when they talk about how we must just give people more money and i'm like it may stave off the worst for a short time,
Starting point is 01:27:28 but it's like you are burning off, you're burning the candle off as fast as possible. Yep. Yeah, you're going to get this cash now, but what's going to happen is that in a few months, in a year, you're going to be worse off than you've ever been. Imagine spending $30 for a gallon of milk. They've been just dumping milk out. Like this is a crazy economic crisis.
Starting point is 01:27:49 It almost feels like all of these Democratic governors are treating Trump like some kind of cancer where they're trying to poison the system as much as possible in hopes to just like get rid of populism. Yeah, maybe. Literally arresting small business owners. But I'll tell you what, man,
Starting point is 01:28:07 I think it makes people angrier. Definitely does. Absolutely. Arresting small business owners is a huge, huge problem. Absolutely it is. That's crazy. Let all the prisoners out.
Starting point is 01:28:17 It is crazy. They let all the prisoners out and now crime is skyrocketing. Yep. Then they arrest small business owners, the salon owner in Texas, the two guys just the other day in Jersey. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:26 No, they let him out and then and then boast about how the population of their prisons is is the lowest since since the Second World War. And it's like, what? You let them all out. This is Cuomo, by the way. Governor Cuomo in New York. These these. Come on. It's it's like it's not just the Democrats, even like I was looking at something from, I think, by the way. Governor Cuomo in New York. Come on. Look, it's not just the Democrats even.
Starting point is 01:28:47 I was looking at something from, I think, Thomas Massey. Where's he at? Is he in Kentucky or Tennessee? I think he's in... I'm not sure. I'm sorry. There might have been de Blasio, actually. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 01:28:56 They're the same. I think it was Kentucky. They were pointing out that Kentucky never had a COVID spike, yet they're locking the state down. Kentucky, yeah. Yeah. So it's like, here's New York. Boom. And here's Kentucky. they're locking the state down. Kentucky, yeah. Yeah, it's like, so it's like here's New York, boom, and here's Kentucky.
Starting point is 01:29:08 Straight line. Locking down Kentucky. Yeah, there's never been a spike. And they were like, why lock down businesses? The curve literally can't be flatter than it already is. So why are they doing it? I don't know. Sweden's got no deaths going on, and they're almost at zero cases now. Wow.
Starting point is 01:29:24 Yeah, so it's like like they did herd immunity. Man. They didn't close down. People were ridiculing them for a long time, but their economy is still going. Everything's still open. These journalists represent the establishment. Yes. So when Trump tweets out a video, they'll nuke it because right now the establishment is desperately trying to maintain its grip over this country.
Starting point is 01:29:48 And it's so obvious. It's disgustingly obvious. And people are waking up. These people here, they are here because they know we see it too. And I'm sure all of you see it too. It's just disgusting. It's desperate. It's thirsty.
Starting point is 01:30:04 The far left needs to vote for Trump. You know why? Why? I mentioned this several times because back in 2015 and 16, I knew progressives who are like, I mean, look, there's a lot of people who are going to vote for Bernie who voted for Trump. Okay. Some of them told me straight up it's because there were a couple different reasons. There were the legitimate voters who were like, Bernie is a populist.
Starting point is 01:30:22 He's a real politician. I trust him. Donald Trump's okay. He's not a politician. but if it's not Bernie, it'll be Trump. Yeah. I heard that a lot. I also heard from more ardent activist lefty types who want socialism. They were like, if you elect Hillary Clinton, then you will have a bunch of placated liberals who will support the status quo. If Trump gets elected, it'll make them angry and give us an edge. If they, if the far left agrees to vote for Biden
Starting point is 01:30:49 and these progressives, it will embolden and reignite the establishment and give them an opportunity to regain control over the system. If they vote for Trump, Trump is a populist anti-establishment and that will basically be
Starting point is 01:31:02 the end of the establishment. I wouldn't be surprised if the day donald trump gets re-elected yep he just launches indictments oh yeah i just like everyone's expecting it i want you to imagine this i'm expecting it bill barr about it on on on election night when they declare victory bill barr jumps up and he's got a big stack of papers he starts making indictments just rain over everybody like what an awesome there's a disco with the bagpipes playing in the background dude i can hear it that's great i love it i'm not saying that i think that's actually going to happen but what i mean is trump isn't going after bernie sanders right trump is not going after
Starting point is 01:31:42 progressive you know young progressive Congress people other than insulting them. He's literally fighting legally with establishment Democrats. So let the bull have his run. Let him let him rob about the ivory tower. And then like you look, the establishment wants to lock up the doors. They want to take that tower back. They want to maintain control like they were doing with to lock up the doors. They want to take that tower back. They want to maintain control like they were doing with the Republicans and the Democrats. And they're going to give us more war, more strife. They're going to neglect all our problems.
Starting point is 01:32:15 I don't think Trump is perfect, but I know he's not them. And Mr. Jordan called it out, too. He was like, you know, they found evidence that the Trump campaign before he was elected was being spied on. Yeah, that's a fact at this point. It's a fact. We have the evidence that they were trying to, they straight up said, no, he's not going to win. We're going to make sure of it. That was Strzok, FBI agent.
Starting point is 01:32:34 Oh, Strzok from the record? No, no, no, Peter Strzok. Peter Strzok, right. Our insurance policy. Boom, proven that that actually happened. So they clearly didn't, they knew he could not win or else they're screwed. There are chances of finalizing their plans.
Starting point is 01:32:50 So he is a wrench or a bull in their huge China shop breaking everything. And the American public love it. And I see it. I'm clapping for him now. And the far left, the progressives, if they vote for Joe Biden and they kick the bull out,
Starting point is 01:33:07 the establishment locks all the doors and keeps everybody out forever. And they will never allow it to happen again. But if Trump wins again, if Trump is going to crush the Democratic establishment. He's going to finish what he started, baby. I'm like, why would the progressives oppose that? You might not get what you want from Trump, but at least he'll get rid of a mutual enemy, the establishment politicians. Yep.
Starting point is 01:33:31 Finally get rid of these. Look, man, how many Republicans, the rhinos, retired? They didn't want to be inside this party because Trump was in control. Yeah. They all started retiring. Put a magnifying glass on them all. I mean, in my deep dive, I talk about how when he entered New York in the late 70s, the old money New Yorkers, they did not like him at all.
Starting point is 01:33:51 They were like, you're new money. And you don't belong in this environment. And he's like, I don't care what you say. I have the money to make this building. I'm going to do it. And then he made Trump Tower. And it became a huge boost to the New york economy and they he proved them wrong and it's like i can see it back when he first was making it that the old money people didn't like him well we just discussed it earlier who's
Starting point is 01:34:14 all these senators they they have all this money they didn't make all the money from being senators they've their old money establishment well they made money somehow well six figure job either they had it beforehand or made it somehow, which in itself is messed up. You know what I think? Man, let him have his due. I'm voting for him. One of the biggest problems for the United States was that upward mobility came into existence. Before the United States, for the most part, it's like you were born into your class.
Starting point is 01:34:42 And their royalty existed. Yeah. Right. Actual oppression. All of a sudden, you were born into your class. And their royalty existed. Yeah. Right. Actual oppression. All of a sudden, people were here with no kings. Oh, no. The monarchy. They made a big mistake.
Starting point is 01:34:52 All of a sudden, people are like, I don't see a king. I can do what I want. Who's going to stop me? I can walk around in the forest. No one's going to stop me. The country was so big. Yeah. This new ideology started to emerge of liberalism.
Starting point is 01:35:02 The consent of the governed was required. Now you have people who believe in freedom. Now we're in a country where literally a homeless man could see Trump walk by and give him the finger. And you can't do anything about it. That's true. You can complain about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:14 And that's why America's great. Yes, it is. But I'd be willing to bet these establishment, I don't care if they're Republicans, and there are still many establishment Republicans, do-nothings, protecting their cronies on the other side, who would absolutely love it if people could not have upward mobility. You know why intersectionalism is so dangerous? Why? You have, in 2010, left, right, up, down, whatever, people saying,
Starting point is 01:35:37 we have a problem with crony capitalists revolving door politics where big corporations get in government and vice versa and insider trading. We all agree it's a problem. All of a sudden, a new narrative emerged. And there's a comic that shows this. It's a guy sitting in an office and there's people outside with signs saying Occupy Wall Street. And he's smiling on the phone. He says, introduce identity politics. All of a sudden, you had poor white people, poor Latinos, poor Asians, and poor black people pointing the finger at each other. And what year was that? 2010, 2011, November 2011.
Starting point is 01:36:08 All of a sudden, you had people like Serena Williams, who is one of the wealthiest people on the planet, very, you know, extremely wealthy black woman, talking about how she's oppressed. Right. You have this ideology that would tell you a white homeless man has more privilege and power than a wealthy black businessman. And then bring this back up again. And what happened around that time? Exactly. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:36:32 The establishment recoiled and dumped identity politics into our laps. And what started as an economic populist movement saying wealth inequality, crony capitalists, get them out, turned into white privilege. Yeah, exactly. And now you have- They shifted the optics so that they're fine. Oh, cool. It's not us anymore.
Starting point is 01:36:53 They're attacking. Now they're attacking themselves. Like, we don't care. We have the money already. We already have the power. I think if- It's not going to work. Not anymore.
Starting point is 01:37:01 People are waking up. Yeah, the establishment can't win. Nope. The internet itself is too many- Is that risk? It's not going to work. Not anymore. People are waking up. Yeah, the establishment can't win. Nope. The internet itself is too many. Is that risk? No. Okay, sure. That's a different discussion.
Starting point is 01:37:11 But what I'm saying is the internet is helping people stay maintained. People, you know, it's the phone 2.0. That's what I'm talking about. We're going over their heads. We're going over media. We're the new news show now. People are coming to us because we want to give you the real truth of what's going on now like you know obviously everyone
Starting point is 01:37:30 has bias sure but we're still going to try to show what's actually happening instead of this bs which is them just shoving down you know intersectionality like you you must this is actually the truth of what's happening and it's no, that's what you want everyone to think. And that's not the case anymore. And if people don't like us, they can go watch the depositions that are live on YouTube, live on everything. You know, everyone was watching yesterday. Everyone was watching today, them talking to the big tech, seeing exactly what's happening. The internet.
Starting point is 01:38:02 Look, man, it's an amazing place. People who come to videos like this, to channels like this, choose to search for it specifically. People who turn on CNN are not paying attention and don't know anything about the news. They're just like in an airport or hotel room.
Starting point is 01:38:17 They're hearing memes. The left is sharing their news through memes and Twitter posts. It's half-baked nonsensical. The people who are here are on YouTube looking up the news, literally searching for subjects and then coming across our channel. We're lucky enough that we're in such a position where... So I mentioned this earlier.
Starting point is 01:38:38 YouTube, I'm sorry, Google, you cannot search for my main channels. I have two. Timcast and Timcast News do not appear on Google. Yeah. And that's me doing like my solo rants. This channel is new. So it wasn't put into any of these blacklists. And awesome.
Starting point is 01:38:53 Yes. That too. Figured I'd throw that in there. So what happens is YouTube takes action to protect the establishment when they complain. And a bunch of YouTubers realized this and started making new formats and new channels because the new channels are no were never put on blacklists yep so now all of a sudden people are getting recommended our show they're sharing our show and it's growing faster than ever because thank you everyone but think about this if if i didn't you know decide to to make something bigger hit you up and say we got to do this show where we talk about these politics, it would still be me on my main channels blacklisted. How many people here
Starting point is 01:39:30 wouldn't even know about these conversations, even though they agree with a lot of it? Thanks for calling me up that day. So I decide I got to do a new channel. I got to find somebody who I can have conversations with. I hit up my buddy, Adam. And this is a new channel, not on a blacklist, where a lot of the same conversations are... It's actually more developed conversations. We talk to each other as opposed to my channel, which is just like a rant. But all of a sudden now, YouTube, my channel, this channel not being blacklisted, is recommending it. People who agree are finding the conversation saying, these are important conversations, and it's getting around that
Starting point is 01:40:03 lockdown. They can't control everything that's right i think we're at risk their bubble is popping i mean i'm sure we're at risk but there's only so much they can do but exactly the google guys are on video saying that they didn't want trump to win and they're like people crying exactly it was published by breitbart and the verge mind you left and right wing sources showing this leaked video of them being like, we're all deeply offended by Donald Trump's victory. Yeah. So you know what they're going to do what they can to stop it again. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:33 And, you know, it's really funny. They had a big hearing today about big tech monopolies. I'd love for one of those Republicans to say Adam Krigler mentioned that he wanted to vote for the president. And he was, you know, he's basically a default liberal kind of guy. Got 2.4 million views on Facebook. those Republicans to say, Adam Krigler mentioned that he wanted to vote for the president and he was, you know, he's basically a default liberal kind of guy. Got 2.4 million views on Facebook. Facebook deleted it. Why? Oh, I don't know. Uh-huh. Interesting. I would like to know that too, because there was nothing. I mean, I did call out the cooperation with China and that I think that they are working with China. But nothing you said was a violation of their rules.
Starting point is 01:41:08 That's true. You're absolutely right. There was no violation of rules. It was just simply that I am not a typical Trump supporter. I am someone that looks, I mean, my hair is tucked right now, but it's like, you know, I've got long hair and I look like I'm fairly hippie-ish, video gamer, musician, skater. We saw it from Project Veritas. If somebody's wearing a MAGA hat, they'll ban the video.
Starting point is 01:41:31 Or simply saying I'm a Trump supporter. I said I'm voting for Trump in this video. It was the first time I said it. That's what really hit them. Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we can't have this guy talk about that. No, no, no, no, no. But it was probably some low-level person working at a third-party company being like, get rid of him. Yep, I think so.
Starting point is 01:41:51 And Facebook, you know, feigns ignorance. Whoa, we don't do it. We'll see how things play out, man. But I'm glad y'all are with us hanging out. Now we're going to read your super chats. Yes. We got a super chat here. Actually, before we do, you got to smash that like button.
Starting point is 01:42:05 Yeah, smash it. Actually, before we do, I was just going to say thanks to Bruce who sent us some silver coins. Oh, yeah. That's so cool. We all got a beautiful Liberty silver coin. You can't really see it,
Starting point is 01:42:19 but it is really dope. It is the Liberty Lady. Walking Liberty? Standing Liberty? I don't know what it is, but it's beautiful. It's a one ounce silver coin and that's amazing. So I really appreciate that. That's cool. My grandfather had
Starting point is 01:42:32 a lot of coins that I would go to the bank and he'd open up the security deposit box. What's silver at now? Like $22, $24? Yeah, something like $20. Maybe just $20. Silver's great. But smash the like button. Make sure you subscribe. You can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Parler at TimCast. You can also follow at AdamKrigler in all the same places.
Starting point is 01:42:51 And on Twitter and Parler, there is at Sour Patch Lids, L-Y-D-S. And yeah, follow us. But let's read all your super chats. UXMQuantum says, hey guys from North Dakota, and do a lot of driving for work. So you guys are my daily entertainment. Just want to show some love. Oh yes. Spin that UFO.
Starting point is 01:43:08 Oh, can you hand me that? Oh yeah. There you go. Spin it, spin it, spin it. And Raven Knight also wants you to spin the UFO. So we got a twofer on that one. Yes. Both directions.
Starting point is 01:43:18 Wait, it's, it just stops it. Well, you can't go both directions. Ian Hall says term limits one term limits two section 230 reform three did soy jesus get a haircut or fake it with a man bun for fake past legislation that separates press with factual reporting versus opinion news with fake news lastly this is all for the cats and mascot of the salty army you can't you can't actually differentiate on the first amendment between opinion and and real news there's no real way to do that the first amendment means they can publish fake news that's it the problem is big tech monopolies incentivized this system and i
Starting point is 01:43:59 don't know how you solve that problem i don't think the founding fathers could have foreseen the level and speed of communications more but more importantly, the algorithms. But I do think in much the same way we have some restrictions on the second amendment in terms of like concealed carry permit or whatever, although many people probably disagree with any of those restrictions, I do think there may be very important distinctions between what these big tech platforms are doing and the First Amendment. The right to free speech, you could argue, does not give you a right to algorithmically manipulate people. Well, we talked about it.
Starting point is 01:44:32 I said a couple times in this episode that the internet is the new telephone. We have to realize that Facebook and Twitter are not just this social media. We just keep saying social media. It's not. It's the town square. It's the new watering holes.
Starting point is 01:44:49 It's the new how we communicate. It's the new age. But the bigger issue, I think, is that you're legally allowed to sell products in this country. Okay. But you can't defraud someone, tricking them into parting ways with their money. In that same vein, you can create a platform for speech, but algorithmically manipulating people is an entirely different thing from free speech. Good point. So what they do on Facebook and Twitter and YouTube, manipulating algorithms
Starting point is 01:45:18 so that certain people only see certain things is very different. And maybe there's some kind of argument that they shouldn't be meddling in who stands on the free speech platform and how they display it it would be in my opinion uh a major advantage to some nasty people yeah because without these algorithms if it was just a general so here's what happened early on when they didn't have algorithms on youtube do you know what every thumbnail was what bikini women ofini women. Of course. Yep. Clicks. Exactly. So people would...
Starting point is 01:45:49 There's a challenge. They have to make rules. Otherwise, the platform became just a bunch of dudes who would post a picture of women in bikinis and then it would be a video of something else. You'd see a thumbnail and it would be hot women and then click it and it would be a guy being like, so today I went and bought a hot dog and it would work. women and then click it. And it would be a guy being like, so today I went and bought a hot dog and it would work.
Starting point is 01:46:06 So they had to set, I don't know how you, I don't, I don't, I don't know how you solve the problem, but I'll tell you this. Political bias is destroying our democratic system, our democratic, you know, representative based system. And we cannot just allow it to keep going. The backpacking angler says this money is to go to a year Days button from JJBA.
Starting point is 01:46:27 Also, Adam, for a challenge, build a piece of studio furniture using pallet wood. Ooh. Okay. There you go. Sweet. Maybe in the new spot. I'll do it for Adamcast. We're gonna keep Timcast a little more professional. That'd be cool. Deplorable Pirate Captain Gunbeard says, Multnomah County, Portland
Starting point is 01:46:42 has been under a burn ban since the 24th due to a drought and high fire risk. You'd think fireworks would be a big violation of that ban. Yeah, you'd think you would. Student of history says told my late 40s co-worker who grew up in NYC that people were surprised about UC cops. And all he did was laugh. His Puerto Rican a off his words, not mine. Also, Roman public Roman Republic and us are too close.
Starting point is 01:47:07 I agree. That's scary. Vesidius says, I told someone about the censored beer bug press conference. She told me she heard it. One doctor believes in witchcraft and Dr. Fauci has always been right. What's the simplest way to explain Fauci to someone who hasn't been following? Well, you got to understand the way you approach people in terms of like arguments, conversations, and new information. If someone comes up to me and they say, well, Fauci has always been right. If you respond with, that's not true. Fauci is wrong all the time. You're enemies. You respond with, yeah, I mean, Fauci's, I actually think he's really great. And yeah, I mean, he's what he's been around for like 30 plus years in the CDC. It is unfortunate that he came out
Starting point is 01:47:49 early on wrong about masks, you know, to be honest, but I think he does a good job. Then you're not challenging them. You're not becoming their enemy. You're just saying, I get it. Like I like Fauci too. There was a couple of things I think kind of hurt his credibility. So the way I always approach my friends is when they're like, people should listen to Fauci. I'll be like, totally agree. The only, you know, the only problem I guess is that, you know, when he came out in May, you know, and said, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:48:13 Some people immediately just blew him off, which is wrong because science changes. Then they're like, you're right. Science does change. And Fauci may have been wrong. You're letting them like enter. You can't just come at them and start yelling at them. And I don't mean like screaming. I mean like coming out and being like, hey, you're wrong about this because some people just put up barriers.
Starting point is 01:48:29 They don't want to hear it. It's difficult. It's not always so easy to communicate effectively. But I always try to, you know, when I talk to people, try to be accommodating. And maintain your calm. Because as soon as you, they're already emotional. Most of these people, they're residing in a place of of emotions that you know their beliefs is directly connected to their emotional base so as soon as you you like he said you you have to show them that that you're on
Starting point is 01:48:58 their side because if you don't do that instantly they go into the defensive and then that's where they stay the entire time yep and you can't get you can't get them off that or behind that shield of i'm defending because you already attacked my ideals my my the core of my being and that that's the problem a lot of people are just tribalists and don't care about what's right it's really hard it's really hard but the main the most important thing is for you to maintain your calm. And you have to understand, this is something that I help because I wasn't a Trump fan. I didn't like him because I didn't know anything about him. I just was part of the news.
Starting point is 01:49:35 So once I became aware of it, I'm like, I've got months and months of research under my belt now. I can't just impart that knowledge to somebody. It's so crazy, somebody. Yeah. You know, it's like. It's so crazy, man. Yeah, exactly. You know, you have to understand that not everyone is there and it takes a long time to get there. Whenever I record a segment on my main channels about Obamagate. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:55 It is a nightmare. Oh, I'm sure. Because it's like people need context for news stories. Dude, his rant, Mr. Jordan's rant at the beginning of the bar testimony sums it up so well in like a four minute span. He goes through. About Obamagate. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:11 It's not an easy thing to do. That story is insanely complex. True. But he rocks out of the park. I just posted on my Twitter feed earlier because it's just like I've never heard it. All the accounts all like through the very beginning and then why they did each thing as they did and progressing all the way to Trump becoming elected to after, to right now. It was like, wow. That's the only time I've ever seen it all laid out so clear.
Starting point is 01:50:35 One of the most difficult, whenever news breaks on like, so I recently did a segment on the Durham investigation. Durham announced, so John Durham is investigating. Yep. There may be criminal indictments. And he announced his report on basically Spygate, Obamagate, whatever will be coming out at the end of summer. And there are some rumors that the DOJ is shuffling about because there may be some indictments coming. And there's – the attorney general of Texas is also setting another investigation separately for unmasking for the same thing. Yeah. Yeah. Looking into it again. So when I try and say we got some big updates, the unmasking investigation is underway.
Starting point is 01:51:15 Now, unmasking is the reason why this is relevant. Every word. How this pertains. And it's like 20 minutes to just explain the basics. Yeah. So when i when i try explaining to people like what's going on with obamagate they're like what's unmasking okay well unmasking is the process of taking protected names from you know red red redacted information what's redacted what do you mean and i'm like oh man so when the fisa courts what's a fisa court okay the internet it's not can't dude yep is it is it is rough it is so rough man let's see the grizzly says been trying to contact you guys for a while now but i can't find your email i'm a person who paints
Starting point is 01:51:53 miniatures for fun but some of my work's even been put in official store displays my portfolios on imager for reference cool spin the ufo at gmail.com. Is that it? That's correct. Boom. There you go. I thought it was a spin the instruction. Yeah, but it wasn't. So I'm not going to spin it. I'm not going to. I don't just spin it for just for anything. We are going to be setting up a new website soon, too.
Starting point is 01:52:17 So we'll have like an updated email. Yeah. Jonas says, I'm happy I found Timcast. You talk about real issues, cite your sources, speak fairly and hold the media and political figures responsible for what they say and do. You guys and Lady Rock, thanks. Thanks, man. Thank you for listening. I tip my beanie to you, Seth.
Starting point is 01:52:31 Yes. Pip Chat Noir says, love your work. Here's some funds for pizza and cigars. I am very much like that. Hey You says, Tim, I agree with most of what you say, but after a while, you could be viewed just a young, new age Rush Limbaugh. I'd like to see more video say, but after a while, you could be viewed just a young, new-age Rush Limbaugh. I'd like to see more video examples, production, and written facts. You have to show facts more than opinion to help people understand.
Starting point is 01:52:52 Well, there's actually... Speaking of which... Oh, yeah, but that's not you anymore. Right. Per se. So, well, so I've absolutely got another company, Scanner, and they do independent field reporting. Now, here's the thing. Scanner initially started out... Check it out. We, here's the thing. Scanner initially started out.
Starting point is 01:53:05 Check it out. We've got a really great video about Dr. Deborah So. And we interviewed her and we do a lot of this. One of our first videos was a mini documentary on Brett Weinstein in the evergreen fiasco. If you want to understand what's going on with cancel culture that's sweeping the country, look up, you know, SCNR on YouTube and Brett Weinstein. And it's a long documentary that I put together with Emily, who's now running Scanner, along with other people. And there are plans very, very soon.
Starting point is 01:53:32 These things take a long time. That's the challenge. We've got a big infrastructure upgrade coming. And there's going to be a new channel. There's going to be a couple. There's going to be a vlog channel. And there's also going to be a mini fact-based documentary channel. And there's also going to be a mini fact-based documentary channel. So if you want to get an understanding of what that's like, look up Dr. Debra So Scanner, S-C-N-R, or go to the
Starting point is 01:53:52 Scanner YouTube channel. You can look for it. That's the style of video that will start being produced. They're fact-based research videos with interviews from experts. This is all part of the plan. We're going to be hiring people to, you know, go out and do these interviews. And we're going to have 10 to 15 minute short documentaries explaining like core positions. Very, very, very fact based. And I will be hosting all of those as well. Hopefully at some point I can produce 24 hours of content in a single day because I'm completely, completely insane. You're an alien.
Starting point is 01:54:22 Already doing five. Confirmed. He's an alien. Yep. Yeah. Dylan Bastarish says, thanks five. Confirmed. He's an alien. Dylan Bastoresh says, Thanks to Tim and Adam, I started skateboarding again. Started playing music and singing again. And feel more confident in my political views than I have ever before.
Starting point is 01:54:36 That's what I'm talking about. Standing up. Doing things. Are you making bread? Because once we finish the show, someone's usually made some kind of weird new bread and we're like, what's the bread tonight? Well, no. It's bread. I don't partake in the bread that often.
Starting point is 01:54:49 No, Adam doesn't. I'm just saying, you know, that you could mix it up. Yeah. Nicholas Keene says, Tim, are you going to do any on the ground reporting regarding these protests and riot aftermaths or know anyone else who is? MSM is not capable of covering these, save Michael Tracy piece and local outlets I've seen on YouTube. One of the challenges is antifa hates him oh well i mean look the threats against me are well beyond just going down and seeing antifa i think i'm sure i think andy no has a way worse than i do
Starting point is 01:55:16 i'd probably be able to squeak by you know with the appropriate disguise of some sort but i wouldn't because i got too much work what we're trying to, the space we're in now was supposed to be temporary. Last year, I was trying to find a building to actually launch a full multimedia network company, and then COVID happened, and we all just got trapped basically in this house. But now we're getting a bigger facility, and it's going to have a ton of room, and we're going to have a newsroom, and we're going to have people dedicated to traveling, going on the ground reporting, doing interviews. Like I just mentioned, Sc scanner is doing documentary stuff. It's going to do,
Starting point is 01:55:49 they're going to do production and shows. And then I'm going to be having more, more of a factoid based fact checking. Dare I say explaining the news though, we're not going to be partisan. It's going to be epic. We're going to, we're going to basically take stories and dissect them based on the different coverage from different outlets and then try and figure out where the truth actually lies based on these different narratives while simultaneously calling out those who are egregiously violating journalistic ethics. Very cool. Accountability. So when someone says that a certain activist or whatever in Austin was unarmed will highlight these lies and be like, here's the photo, here's the video evidence. These people lied. These outlets lied.
Starting point is 01:56:28 And it's going to be great. It's going to simultaneously be here's the news and here's the bad news. As in like the, you know, inept news. The people who are bad at what they do. Let's read some more of these here. Super Jets. Pateras Rex says, common sense is not a gift it is a curse because you have to deal with all the people who don't who don't have it who don't have it right
Starting point is 01:56:50 i'm assuming it yeah it got cut off who don't have it cody evans says make america chess again okay and skateboard yeah joe bow says read weapons of mass instruction by john gatto new york teacher of the year and whistleblower interesting. Interesting. You've read that? I am familiar with it. I have not read the whole thing. Master of Skitari says, I will still say Warhammer 40k is the best sci-fi fantasy
Starting point is 01:57:15 setting. Praise the Omnisia and like the incense and let the motive force flow from you as we burn the heretics with holy flame and plasma. All right. Sounds good. A lot. Julia says, be wary of harping on logic.
Starting point is 01:57:30 Evil can use emotion and reason alike. Allah, the cult of reason in revolutionary France. And reason can justify evil. Actual good is primary over logic and emotion and demands a balance of both. I completely agree. Otherwise, like, the borg makes sense it's a more cohesive structure that functions better but man who would want to live that way there's a certain evil and all that stuff you know definitely not rato says thank you for all
Starting point is 01:57:55 the work you do calling out the media and modern left tried talking to my gf's lefty dad about it but he continues to believe the insanity from the media while claiming to be aware of their lies. It's ridiculous, man. John Stephen says, where do I find the 1619 Project founder saying it wasn't meant to be historical? That's a giant red pill for normies. Well, the only thing I can say is first, the obvious is try Googling it. She tweeted it. She tweeted it. She did. Yeah. So if you so what's her, you know, her name? Yeah. She goes by Ida Bay Wells. There you go. Twitter. She tweeted it. And then a bunch of people started quoting her saying like,
Starting point is 01:58:29 but they're teaching this in schools as history. I'll find it and put it on my Twitter. How horrifying, man. Indeed it is. McKitzley says, have y'all checked out the Tim Dillon Show podcast with Whitney Webb? They talk about the U.S. government getting rid of money to where everything is purchased through our phones. This was back in April. They must be psychics they've predicted it yeah interesting
Starting point is 01:58:48 let's see bill uh blixem says today's media and fake news reminds me of metal gear solids metal gear solid 2 gw and ai to filter info on the net to provide context in a sea of useless data hideo kojima saw this coming in early 2000s. The dude is very smart. Yeah, and he makes good games. Let's see. Mr. Cooper says, I can confirm what Tim said about private security. I was on a private security detail for a wealthy tech dev.
Starting point is 01:59:14 A member of the security detail rammed cop to draw cop away and prevent protectee getting DUI. He was well taken care of. I'm telling you, I've seen this. Oh, geez. Yeah, because they're like, the dude's got millions of dollars to take care of me in any capacity. And you'll get a bonus. Yep.
Starting point is 01:59:30 Look at that story, dude. Rammed a cop to prevent the guy from getting a DUI. Man, when you got the money, your security, you could do whatever. Scary. Yeah, dude. Nunzio says the far left democrat leaders want trump to win they need to add more fuel to the fire for the marxist army they're building to burn it all down also go to bot what is it oh banned video to support i can't read that
Starting point is 01:59:57 tall wall says well done tim carry on appreciate it raven knight i believe we already read this one but i'll say it anyway he says spin it ufo we did read that one before i'm gonna spin it anyway yeah more rost rostral garbage says check out season five after about the halfway point of episode six and most of episode seven of the show grim on prime it's nearly prophetic on portland i really love that show is it is it have you seen the episode in? I've seen every single episode of Grimm. Is that prophetic? I really liked it. I don't exactly remember that episode, but I'll go watch it again because that show is great.
Starting point is 02:00:31 It had really good characters in it. It's funny. Gareth Green says, you realize that Bernie Sanders expressed support for the Soviet Union back in the day. He was always further left than European social democrats. Oh, I know. I'm just pointing out that the World Socialist website called him a national capitalist because he supported a he was publicly supporting capitalist
Starting point is 02:00:50 system and secured borders and no free trade. So they were ragging on Bernie. Let's see. I think we did read that one. Smash that like button, everyone. What's that 20k? I want to see 20k. Smash it.
Starting point is 02:01:05 Gareth Green says, the first video of yours I saw was your interview with Lacey Green in 2017. I started following you through the Kilroy debacle and first chatted you during your live stream
Starting point is 02:01:13 on that topic. You were awesome. Hey, really appreciate it, man. That's it's been a long time. James NT says, with college kids and professionals all living in bubbles,
Starting point is 02:01:21 how will we ever be able to trust statistics again? I don't think we can, to be completely honest. That's the craziest thing. Gareth Green then goes on to say, do you guys have a mailing address? I'd like to send some books and things. Why, yes, of course we do. If you head over to timcast.com slash donate, at the bottom is a P.O. box, but make sure, if you're going to send anything, you send it to care of Timcast IRL and not Tim Pool. I say Timcast IRL. That way we know it's for the show.
Starting point is 02:01:51 Otherwise, I just shred it open and go, oh, wait, it was for Adam. Make mail day easier, please. Or all of us. Yeah. Right. The crew. Because it's my general P.O. box. So just make sure you label it for whoever you want to go to.
Starting point is 02:02:04 If you want it for Lydia, if you want it for Adam, if you want it for me, put the name on it. We're all three. Tim Cass IRL. Yeah, man. JB Rocky says, since Adam is a libertarian. 20 bucks. There you go. Give me my money.
Starting point is 02:02:16 Gareth Green then says, as a child of the religious right, I find it funny how you ask what happened to the left. The way you see them now is pretty much the way I've seen them since I was a kid. Granted, I've become more libertarian since. I've found that among many of the religious people I know, they've become more libertarian. And I think it's especially true. You see people like Ben Shapiro, who's Orthodox Jewish and very libertarian. I'll take it. I would rather live side by side with someone's like, I'm gonna do my thing and leave you
Starting point is 02:02:42 alone versus the people who are like, you're going to do my thing or else. You can only be strict religious for so long before you're like i just really want to let other people do what they want to do well i just wanted i want people to leave me alone do what i want to do yeah i know exactly yeah boom 21 000 likes there we go thank you everybody smashing that like button vincent clement says do you think insurrection act is still a possibility when does Trump shut this nonsense down? I think it may have won. I mean, we'll see how things go tonight.
Starting point is 02:03:09 They're still going to come out, I'd be willing to bet. Yeah. And the feds are going to be like, look, man. But now they got the support. They're there now, the state police. I don't know about yet, but I will tell you this. Ceasefires, they often fail. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:03:22 Like one side's going to be like, okay, we've come to an agreement. Now all you got to do is meet these conditions. The far left will come out. They'll attack the courthouse. The feds are going to be like, we're not satisfied. Then the Democrats are going to be like, don't worry, they're going to leave. And the far left is going to say, well, they're not leaving, so we're not leaving.
Starting point is 02:03:38 Unless the Democrats just take a heavy hand and come out regardless and end the riots, no one will back down. They just gotta do it. Ah, Wheeler. Yeah, exactly. Scary man. MH says the Wall of Moms and BLM are now bickering.
Starting point is 02:03:52 Check out the WOM official Twitter feed, Wall of Moms. Ah, gee, man. Sounds amusing. Let's see. Jon Snow says, I work construction in California. In 2019, I was hired by a company that rents out houses in NorCal. Since then, I've remodeled over 120 with hundreds to go.
Starting point is 02:04:10 The guy has Nancy Pelosi money. He's in a rush to sell them all. Ooh, yikes. He knows nothing. Yeah. No, I'm just kidding. Just a play on the name. Money Tire says, I wanted to send a 556, but it won't let me.
Starting point is 02:04:22 Welcome to the not right knowing American side with life and liberty. Thank you for the super chat. Ken W. says, you should hire or befriend a manga artist cartoonist to explain some of the more difficult stuff like Obamagate. Spin that UFO. I will spin it for you. Well, with that final spin, make sure y'all smash the like button,
Starting point is 02:04:40 subscribe, hit the notification bell. We do the show Monday through Friday at 8 p.m. live, and we put up clips throughout the day. And if you really want to help the show, share it. We're also on all those different beautiful podcast platforms where if you're going to work, maybe you want to watch, listen on your phone. These are things you can do. But sharing really does help. Like I mentioned, these big tech companies are pressured by the mainstream media to support them. YouTube
Starting point is 02:05:08 then props up CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and we compete with that. We've been doing really well on this show, but we should do better. If you think we are a better voice than CNN, then you must share the video. I like that. Yeah. You must. You must. Well, to channel
Starting point is 02:05:24 my Fight club. If this is your first time watching TimCast IRL, you have to share the show. Yes, I like it. But to be completely honest, there's a lot of people who say, like, you know, there's not much I can do. How do I fight back? Listen, to be completely honest, there is a bit of self-interest in us being like, please let everybody know that we do this show because we literally do it for you guys and everyone
Starting point is 02:05:42 else. But if you really do believe that CNN is garbage and we should get more, you know, a bigger audience than they do, and it's more important, sharing is the way we go about doing that. Definitely.
