Starting point is 00:00:00 Right now, there's a new birtherism, I guess, conspiracy theory or something ridiculous. And I think it's outright ridiculous. But I'll tell you what's really ridiculous. And as often, I'm always criticizing the media. They're blaming Donald Trump because he was asked by a member of the press corps about Kamala Harris not being a citizen or something. And he said, I don't know anything about it. And that was it. And now the left is going around, running around, running stories, claiming that Donald Trump is pushing this conspiracy. There's no winning, is there? Donald Trump gets asked a question and he goes, I'm sorry, what? Oh, I heard that today. I don't think about it. And apparently that's that's enough. How's it going, everybody? Before we
Starting point is 00:00:42 get into all the news, I want to mention there is an independent journalist. I call whatever you want. I don't. I'm not super familiar with Millie Weaver, but I know many people are. And this story has been getting on as a viral video. This is a woman who was producing a documentary and the police showed up to her house. And my understanding so far is that her and her husband have been arrested on burglary charges. They were indicted by a grand jury. The reason this is causing, you know, it's spreading around online, I guess, is because she was about to release a documentary and they're alleging something having to do with, you know, secret documents or something. So I think a lot of people are concerned that someone's trying to silence her.
Starting point is 00:01:24 But I'll be completely honest. I have there's no news here in the, I mean, it's news that she's arrested. What I mean is there's no updates. We have no information. All we know is right now there's a, you know, 50,000 or so tweets going around, which should be trending. It's not trending and it's about Millie Weaver being arrested. So I'm not super familiar with who she is, but just so you know, you know, that's, I don't know, some people were asking about it. But other than that,
Starting point is 00:01:50 I'm hanging out with Lydia tonight. Hello. I'm Sarah Patchlids. Yeah, we're chilling. It's Friday. Man, I gotta be honest with everybody. It's been a crazy week. And I'm all a bit tired.
Starting point is 00:02:00 I'm a bit tired. YouTube's giving me the business about the audio bitrate, whatever that means we didn't change anything and we're going to be uh we're hanging out and talking about a bunch of stuff we're gonna keep it chill we got like it's a skateboarding story there's some funny circumstances pertaining to a bookstore that thought they were supporting diversity and inclusion when in fact they were putting up a satirical book by titanium mcgrath and so it's
Starting point is 00:02:21 all very funny but uh we got some we got some bigger news pertaining to just, I don't know, crazy election stuff. The Kamala Harris birtherism, which is just, I don't know, man. There's some famous lawyer, I guess, who wrote that Kamala Harris isn't really a citizen, or at least he entertained the possibility. And now Newsweek, because it's published by the mainstream media, has put out multiple editorial notes saying, we're sorry, we didn't mean to stoke racist xenophobia, blah, blah, blah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:02:51 They published the story. And I think these things are a bit ridiculous, but it's a really, I mean, this guy who wrote this, he's qualified, right? So we've got some updates in regards to this. And we'll also talk about, I know, I know, doom and gloom, but bread riots. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:10 I found an article about it. So we're not the only ones thinking this. Yeah. There's people writing about the possibility that food shortages will start hitting now. And it feels like with the mass evictions, the potential for mass evictions, and just the general economic crisis. At a certain point, I'm wondering, you know, how much of this, like, why haven't we restarted the economy? Why are we still, why are they arresting people? And now you've got The Week, which is written, are bread riots coming. I don't know about bread riots, but the riots we saw in Chicago,
Starting point is 00:03:40 where people went around looting everything, which I believe had nothing to do with food, the Black Lives Matter activists came out and then later said, well, you know, they need to eat. So I don't care what they do. You know, it's reparations. And we saw Ocasio-Cortez in the past say that the spike in murder in New York was about bread. And so now people have made it a big joke that, you know, she's telling people they need bread and all that stuff but let's get started you know I also I have a skateboarding thing I want to talk about I got a bone to
Starting point is 00:04:10 pick with Tony Hawk a little bit and I think it'll be fun but we'll save it for towards the end of the show and we're just going to hang out we're going to chill and we'll probably take some you know we got super chats going so if you have not already feel free to hit the like button if you like the show it's entirely optional hit the like button subscribe hit the like the show, it's entirely optional.
Starting point is 00:04:26 No, hit the like button, subscribe, hit the notification bell if you want to hang out. We do the show Monday through Friday, 8 p.m. live. And let's jump to the first story. All right. So this is from Newsweek. Some questions. Some questions for Kamala Harris about eligibility opinion from John C. Eastman, professor of law, Chapman
Starting point is 00:04:46 University and senior fellow at the Claremont Institute. This man seems he seems knowledgeable, qualified. OK. All right. OK. So so this guy's qualified. What's his deal? He basically first of all, there's a massive editor's note right at the top.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Wow. This op ed is being used by some as a tool to perpetuate racism and xenophobia. We apologize. The essay by John Eastman was intended to explore a minority legal argument about the definition of who is a natural born citizen in the United States. But to many readers, the essay inevitably conveyed the ugly message that Senator Kamala Harris, a woman of color and the child of immigrants, was somehow not truly American. Really? Who said that? I don't know. I guess a bunch. They did. Yeah, they literally wrote this article. And now we get we get this. This is what we get from the raw story. Trump pushes racist birther conspiracy
Starting point is 00:05:37 theory against Kamala Harris during White House briefing. I saw this and I was wow. Could Donald Trump really be going in that direction again? Because we talked about this the other day. We've talked about it quite a bit. I think Trump's actually, you know, he's been improving. Yeah, he has. His attitude. He's gotten a lot nicer. He's gotten a lot less insulting. And that's why this kind of surprised me. I was like, why is Trump choosing to push this right now? Because that's not a really good look. And he's got to know that, right? He didn't push anything. fact oh really yeah interesting well let me show you the story and then we'll tell you what's really going on president donald trump pushed a racist conspiracy
Starting point is 00:06:12 theory against senator kamala harris on thursday trump was asked by an unknown reporter if harris was an anchor what i i'm not saying that wow what is What is this? This is not true. Well, that's the media you get. Trump was asked by a reporter about the Newsweek article, and they used a disparaging term for somebody who was born to immigrant parents who was ineligible to run for president. The president praised the author of a Newsweek analysis that was widely slammed as racist birtherism, much like the racist birtherism Trump pushed against former President Barack Obama. And here we go. It's always Aaron Ruppar, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:06:50 Yeah, kind of. Yeah, you have a bunch of these like Twitter leftists that it's just lies, man. I wonder at what point the lies are too much, you know? Yeah. When does it push people to the breaking point? I don't think it, I guess never, because this guy's got 3.1k retweets and comments. Aaron Rupert tweeted, holy S, Trump pushes a baseless birther style theory about Kamala Harris that holds she's not a citizen because birthright citizenship isn't a thing.
Starting point is 00:07:18 I just heard today that she doesn't meet the requirements. I have no idea if it's right. I'm actually going to play this for you so you guys can actually hear what really happened. Hopefully it works. I don't know, Twitter sometimes gives me the business, which it is now. I am going to play this clip after it refreshes so you can hear what Trump actually said. You can't understand the words you're saying. There are times circulating in social media that Kamala Harris is not eligible to be, to run for vice president because she was an anchor baby, I hope. Do you or can you definitively say whether or not Kamala Harris is eligible, meets the legal requirements to run as vice president? So I just heard that, I heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements. And by the way, the lawyer that wrote that
Starting point is 00:08:07 piece is a very highly qualified, very talented lawyer. I have no idea if that's right. I would have I would have assumed the Democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen to run for vice president. But that's a very serious. You're saying that they're saying that she doesn't qualify because she wasn't born in this country and that's about it i have no idea if it's right but trump is the one pushing it i'm just i'm i'm i'm exhausted you know i'm uh a bit tired so i kind of have a bone to pick with this lady's question because it literally sounds to me like she was scrolling facebook and she saw a question that said something disparaging about she was scrolling Facebook and she saw a question that said something disparaging about Kamala Harris. And she's like, oh, you bet. You know
Starting point is 00:08:50 what I bet I could do with this. I bet I could get Trump. She did. She did actually say that that phrase. I don't realize she said that, but it was muffled. Yeah, it was very muffled. Yeah. I don't an unknown reporter. They could have figured out who she was. But this is the reporting that we get today. You know what, man? It's It feels like it's just getting, I guess, crazier and crazier every day, and it's probably having to do with the fact that the election is getting closer and closer. We saw that... Well, let me show you this. Let me show you this. And some of you probably have already seen this because I do talk about a lot of stuff earlier. The New York Times published this, and I thought it was absolutely hilarious, but it's
Starting point is 00:09:25 also kind of just mind-breaking at a certain point. They actually called Donald Trump, they called it the Drumpf administration. They actually put Drumpf in a New York Times article, and it just says to me that I don't even know how to figure, like, look, when I do news stories, like the things I do all day i'm using these sources to determine what's happening right but if the new york times is calling trump drumph if raw story is i mean look these these sources are like certified look at this news guard gives it uh green checks i mean it's an 80 out of 100 credibility what are their failings they're the failings of raw story they don't handle the difference between news and opinion responsibly.
Starting point is 00:10:08 And they don't label their advertising. So I use NewsGuard because it's a check on my bias for all of my sources, for the stories that I use. But if I have to go to these stories, and they're going to tell me it's legit, and then I'm going to go to The Daily Wire, for instance, and they say that The Daily Wire is fake news. Right. It gets a red exclamation point. Yeah, because they disagree with them.
Starting point is 00:10:31 It doesn't even matter. But Media Matters gets a green checkmark. Really? Yeah. I think if you can't tell the difference between opinion and news, it's just give them an X. Just say it's an opinion site. Just give him an opinion. Give him a checkmark that says opinion commentary, period, because this is not real. Trump didn't push anything. It's literally made up. And his name isn't Drumpf. I'm just at a certain point.
Starting point is 00:10:59 You know, if I have to look at news and I'm trying to make an assessment about, you know, what I can report to people every day when I do stories. And it's just, you know, I look at Vox, for instance, they're certified. I look at the New York Times. I look at all these sources and I have to assume they're true. But then all that's really happening is that I'm assuming certain stories are true. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:20 And then I have to, what, find the stories that aren't true? To be fair i fact i mean they they link to the tweet yeah from the video and there's there's there's nothing in it but no no one's ever going to click that because all you do is read the headline right and that's all they sometimes you read the opinion sometimes you're like oh my gosh this is exactly what i expected from him yeah and my confirmation my bias has been confirmed and i'm just gonna go with what i think so i had a question about the um you turned red I know I don't know why I just noticed I'm not embarrassed or anything I promise I think it's just my white balance it's all good yep I had a question about the um the drum thing
Starting point is 00:11:55 that is so strange to me do you think it might have just been somebody trolling somebody who sneaked in when they weren't supposed to and they're like this is actually going to be funny and put it in because they changed it back like immediately right well it was up for a while yeah yeah do you think it might have just been somebody trolling or somebody trying to cause trouble what do you think happened there but i hope that they're going to get fired yeah unless they can't find out who did it somebody so so they write they wrote this article and it said the trump administration initially and then somebody went in and changed it to the drumumpf administration and I quickly archived it. Yes, of course.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Because that's the, you know, goal. That's amazing. And then, you know, they changed it back. But it just shows you that the people who work at these companies, their intention is not to report the news. Yeah. And so it creates this like actual predicament where if everything I'm supposed to be sourcing, what am I just choosing?
Starting point is 00:12:44 What I choose to believe? Right. And then I do stories and we do stories and we just assume like any of this is real. You know what I mean? Yeah. How are we supposed to know now? They could literally make it up and they probably do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:56 And then what happens is you get people on the left who will choose a source and they'll say it's legit and they'll say this story is right. And then when you get right-wing sources, like I think a really good example of what's broken about media, even with sources like NewsGuard, is that they'll say The Daily Wire, for instance, which is Ben Shapiro's outlet, is factually incorrect. They give it a red exclamation point.
Starting point is 00:13:19 But what they do is they aggregate news and then provide conservative commentary on it for the most part. Sometimes they do like a straight news piece right media matters for instance literally just smears people that's like their whole thing and that gets a green check from news guard yeah that's confirmed so i i like news guard and i'm glad they do what they do but i don't understand why they don't pay a little more attention to the actual sources because it's it's what's interesting is there was recently i was uh wikipedia i guess now determines that fox news is no longer a reliable source really yeah why is that um because fox news too often
Starting point is 00:13:58 is out of line with the rest of news and this is something they note on like cnn's reliable sources and they use that as an excuse to claim if you're not walking in lockstep with the rest of the media, then you're fake news. I wonder if Newsweek will acquire Wikipedia's mark of disapproval after this. No, probably not. No? You don't think so? No, I mean, they're desperately trying to clean this up. This is ridiculous. Like a patchwork at this point. They've published another op-ed noting how it was a mistake they edited it to say hey check out this this this
Starting point is 00:14:30 you know opinion piece where we're like apologizing for you know writing a birtherism story and then they actually go on to write another editorial note which is basically apologizing once again. And it's just like, you know, right now there is this crazy conspiracy theory going around going on on the left that I think perfectly exemplifies one of the big problems that we have. It's they believe that mailboxes are being stolen by Trump supporters or by Trump himself, that they're intentionally sending out trucks to snatch up mailboxes so that people can't mail and vote. They're arguing that, you know, Jamie Lee Curtis tweeted that post office trucks literally being stolen by Trump supporters. And the media never does anything about this. Right. But I'll be banned on YouTube
Starting point is 00:15:18 for talking about something, you know. Yeah, certain things, absolutely. I mean, Twitter literally just banned anybody who mentions the q and on stuff yeah it's like okay fine you know twitter's gonna make gonna make this move but they allow any and everything far left and unhinged yeah just persist i remember when i started thinking about this i started thinking i i really hate all these conspiracy theories that come from the right and then i was like wait why don't any conspiracy theories come from the left? And I was like, wait a second. Every single one of them is mainstream.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Like Rachel Maddow talking about how they're going to turn off the lights in Fargo in the winter. Turn off the electricity. Yeah, yeah. And Russiagate and all this other stuff. And I'm like, yeah, these things are commonly accepted. And it doesn't, so it doesn't look like a conspiracy theory to them everything that happens on the left that's a conspiracy theory is considered acceptable yeah everything that happens on the right whether it's proven or not is a conspiracy theory until it's proven true in which case is immediately forgotten this is my theorem i don't why how does the media
Starting point is 00:16:20 have this power i don't know who gave them no, no. Why do we trust them? I know. I mean, I mean, the question is, why? Why? Why is what what we talk about being dictated to us by the likes of the New York Times? I get it. For a long time, they set the news cycle. And I think there's a there's an issue with conservatives too often chasing after the left.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Constantly. And that and that's it. Yeah. We're's it? Yeah. We're constantly playing catch up. Even with the story of Ken and Inant, finally we see CNN and other outlets start talking about it. And now we're seeing a bunch of meme posts refuting it, arguing that it's racist to bring up the story. Interesting. I'm not kidding.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Wow. story i'm not i'm not kidding wow and conservatives are constantly playing catch up or or chasing after the narrative that comes out from the from from mainstream news so do you think it's because the news has started to like being the news like newsweek has just made a huge splash with this ridiculous article that they're trying oh they're panicking though somebody's having a really bad day over there i think josh hammer the opinion editor is probably really struggling with this it's it well i don't know if they think they're going to get banned i think you need to hold up something that's white in front of your face because the camera broke yeah all right let me try that no i think it's i think it's something that conservatives need to figure out i suppose because there was i was
Starting point is 00:17:43 reading an article once about how conservatives don't do news. They do commentary. Yeah. And because of that, they're constantly beholden to narratives from the left. So the mainstream press will write something that's totally fake. Conservatives will then chase after it. And you'll get a big news cycle where the left and the right talk about it. Right. And the left doesn't care when the conservatives correct them. So so, you know, basically, you've got The New York Times that I wonder why they even bothered correcting the word drumpf. Yeah. What do they care what they did it. And, you know, if they put out fake news like with Covington, it took it took an extreme amount of energy to finally get all these outlets to actually correct.
Starting point is 00:18:26 And when they started correcting, they didn't actually do an initial full correction. Did they just stop talking about it? When the Covington stuff happened, I'm like, I don't care about this. Right. So for those that don't know, this is the story where the kids were standing on the Lincoln Memorial stairs and the Native American guy came up. And I just ignored it because it didn't make sense to me. I was like, I don't understand why this matters to everybody. Yeah, nothing happened.
Starting point is 00:18:49 And then a bunch of people started pointing out. The Native American guy walked up to the kids. So once I saw that, then I started reporting on it. I said it was fake news. So this was like literally a day later. I got a ton of views. I got like half a million views on my video people were sharing it and there was also robbie suave of reason reason
Starting point is 00:19:09 right i believe so he was also saying like hey this narrative is not true and the media company's initial response was like they waited two days before finally coming out and saying oh it's a little different than we thought. And then two days later and two days later. And then finally, they were like, it turns out new camera angles reveal. How was it that these reporters knew less than random people on Twitter? And how is it that they get away with with, you know, running narrative all the time. At what point do conservatives stop paying attention to what they're saying and then just roll with their own narratives and not even conservatives, but moderates or anybody else?
Starting point is 00:19:53 Well, what would that look like? I mean, if the National Review or, you know, whatever published a story. And I think a lot of people, a lot of Trump supporters don't like the National Review, National Review, but they need to do their own journalism. I mean, I think real clear politics is right leaning. They're probably not right leaning, but they're more likely to give a right perspective on some op-eds. Yeah, I think all sides gives them like a center balance, right? Let me hold up this white thing and see if this works. Yeah, I have no idea why really red let's see you need to hold it over your face my camera's broken cameras break i really am this i'm too i'm too uh i'm too exhausted man no worries i'm too fine yeah you know what i think i think just in general you've got you've
Starting point is 00:20:42 got all of this political stuff that's going on and to be to be a little more personal like to to deal with 16 hours of work per day to deal with the frustrations of literally everything and then you know we get the white balance breaks on a camera camera and i'm just like dude we are we are we are sitting you know a couple months away from this election. Every day, the media is just another fake, just completely fake BS. You know, the story about Kamala, Trump did it, whatever. And now Hillary is... It is amusing to me how quickly... I'm almost reticent to show my face again because it's so red.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Cool. I like it. We'll go with it. Your face is red you get i love it um i really like how quickly newsweek is editing this now that it's that people are giving them a hard time but it's the left exactly in comparison to the covington thing where it was two days later and then two more days later and slowly the truth is kind of squeezed out of them this because, because it goes contrary to the narrative, they're fixing it in real time. It's kind of interesting to watch that dichotomy taking place. I'm sick.
Starting point is 00:21:51 I'm sick of it. Yeah. You know, it's like you look at any major brand and you get some stupid left-wing narrative and that's the only thing that's ever allowed to be pushed. And the same is true on YouTube. The same is true on Twitter and Facebook. And the way I've described it before is,
Starting point is 00:22:09 I think we talked about this the other day, if you're only allowed to talk about the left perspective, then the only direction you can go is to the left. That makes sense. And you just drive straight off the cliff. Absolutely. Like a good example is COVID. Our country is literally falling apart.
Starting point is 00:22:28 There is, they're talking about bread riots. Right. I'm not even kidding. Yeah, look at that. That's interesting. Are bread riots coming to America? Also notice the ad at the top is a bunch of body armor. Huh.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Are bread riots coming to America? You know what? I don't know, but maybe. The issue I see is the big problem, I think it's affecting us right now, is that we can't talk. Literally no one can talk about, say, hydroxychloroquine. Yeah. And you have Dr. Harvey Risch of Yale, MD, PhD,
Starting point is 00:23:02 writing op-ed after op-ed about how he thinks it is helpful yeah about how we can use it to to end this crisis you've got articles coming out coming out about the low death rate right the death's going down but the only thing you're allowed to talk about is that it's getting worse period even though most people don't see it you know i you look at the polling for republicans they almost exclusively don't care about it right at all like the sturgis motorbike rally they just show up yep they're doing their thing but when you look to the left they're screeching like why won't people wear masks and terrified they want to give you oxytocin to make you more likely to wear your mask yeah so what are we supposed to do you know
Starting point is 00:23:45 it's it's it's interesting i did a segment on um on masks because we had the uh atlas gym in new jersey they actually revoked the business license of the city did right yeah it was the city and it was a democratic council and it was five to one what What is this? You know, if the if the media doesn't allow conversations like the Newsweek one and they have to panic because they're terrified of this activist group of people like we're screwed, man. Yeah. I mean, I'm not even kidding. We're talking about 30 to 40 million evictions. And if anyone steps out of line, even the president, it's just lie after lie after lie in the media. The only thing you're allowed to do. I mean, I'll tell you what, if I came out and made a video where I pushed the most unhinged and insane far left conspiracy
Starting point is 00:24:35 about COVID saying it was worse and the end is coming and it's Trump's fault, I'd be fine. They wouldn't do anything negative. I could read one article talking about hydroxychloroquine and then they shut it down they ban you and i and there have been youtubers already banned it's so weird this article to me because in it they talk about how desperate people are getting and how much they're struggling and how little money they have and what an issue it is for them to be stuck in you know covid nightmare COVID nightmare, COVID purgatory. And their final solution is to say that they are in need of government help. That's their ultimate sentence.
Starting point is 00:25:13 They're like, we just need help from people. Like, we need help from the government. The Republicans have to be willing to give people things. And I'm like, why don't we just reopen the economy? Why don't we let people go to work? You're not allowed to say that. Why is that? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I don't know. And it's tiresome, man. It is increasingly tiresome. It is increasingly frustrating that, you know, the restrictions that are increasingly put in place. I think things are getting better. I mean, we just saw Crowder got reinstated into the partner program. Yeah, that's great. So hopefully, you know, it's not that bad and it's getting better. But you look at what's going on in New York and it feels like sometimes they're trying their hardest to help Trump win by destroying everything.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Yeah. And you kind of you kind of floated that theory before that they actually want Trump to win. And I've kind of seen that with the media where they get this huge bump from him. So to me, that kind of makes sense. Maybe that's it. If they would want to keep him in, I don't know. Maybe that's it. Yeah. There was an article we had from Digiday talking about how all these news outlets are starting to panic.
Starting point is 00:26:20 What are they going to do once Trump is out of office? Like their revenue stream is gone. Who are they going to talk about? is out of office? Like their revenue stream is gone. Who are they going to talk about? I mean, cable TV for sure. I think everyone except Tucker Carlson and Hannity will just evaporate overnight. Yeah. Tucker and Hannity had record ratings for cable history. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:40 That's weird to me, especially considering, I mean. No one even watches cable anymore, right? But they do for them, I suppose. And so I think if Trump were to lose, yeah, CNN's gone, MSNBC, whatever, all these channels are just gone. Fox News would still be around, but their ratings would be a lot lower. Right. And I wonder what it is that causes cable TV to do that well. I understand it's Trump, but like why cable TV specifically?
Starting point is 00:27:07 I think it must just be older people, an older demographic. It's not. It's not true. No? It's not? It's not. What are the stats on it? Tucker Carlson specifically is getting like 30-year-olds.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Really? Yeah, 30-year-old dudes. I did not know that. Yep. That's like the coveted demographic. It is, yeah. He's nailing it and then you're actually we're actually seeing the key demo go up for the for these other other
Starting point is 00:27:29 channels as well i definitely think covet has pushed people into a you know like really politically active space yeah well it's definitely pushed them home and given them more free time it's given them free time to catch up on the news and i think probably more people are following current events than uh were before because they have time they're not at work anymore right exactly sit around and think yeah there's no sports right oh yeah i'm and i'm seeing a lot of people get active on twitter and that kind of sucks yeah because it's like man if only we could do something else but but yeah it's it's you know people are getting active on twitter i'm seeing people I know from back home all of a sudden now are tweeting nonstop.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Turning up. Oh, boy. Yeah. And I'm like, these are people who don't normally talk about anything. They're being activated. They are being activated. I think it's partly due to the Democrat strategy. They need a massive voter turnout.
Starting point is 00:28:21 They do, don't they? Yeah. So, you know, look, i'm not one to push conspiracies but i gotta say when the governors of these states are arresting people for opening their businesses with no scientific justification i'm like are you really that dumb and evil maybe i don't know but what that would be the simplest solution wouldn't it they're dumb and evil yeah they're just dumb maybe just dumb i guess we could give them the benefit of the doubt and just call them kind of why would i give them the benefit of the doubt fair point that's fair i don't know there's there you know
Starting point is 00:28:53 i saw somebody posted uh earlier that trump was evil again another one and i'm just thinking to myself like as time goes on they used to have there used to be arguments that i would hear about trump and i'd be like, that's a good point. He's an imperfect guy. Now the only arguments they have are so unhinged. I'm like, I don't remember the last time someone said something about Trump that was bad that actually made a point that made me consider Trump was bad.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Right. And that makes me think, you know, everything I've observed that I didn't really like about Trump, I observed for myself. I did not need anyone else to tell me that trump made a mistake that he called someone a name that he said the wrong thing in a press conference i saw that for myself so when i mean maybe it's just because the media is breaking and we're all starting to pay attention yeah like maybe you know i i know I know it's true to say early on in, you know, Trump's in the 2015 cycle, they were lying about what Trump was saying.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Oh, yeah. And then we had the Shinzo Abe thing. So I've known there's been a lot of lies, but there's been legit things like, you know, the easiest thing to call to is the Rosie O'Donnell thing. Yeah. You know, what's crazy is that I that a lot of people don't know this. There's that viral video of where Trump is doing the arm thing. You know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:30:07 I do. Where he shakes and he puts his arm up or whatever and he's like, duh, duh. And the media ran this narrative that he was mocking a disabled journalist. Like a certain journalist. A specific guy who has. I'm like, was that a setup? Did Trump fall? I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Because apparently, I've seen the videos now. Trump does that to make fun of everybody. Have you ever seen, I'm going to ask this seriously, and I don't mean this in any kind of disrespect. Have you ever seen a reporter who's had a developmental disability like that before? No. I think it might have been a setup. And that's a terrible thing to say.
Starting point is 00:30:42 I mean, I don't know. No, no. You don't think so? No, because how are you going to? I mean, I guess they could trick Trump. They knew like Trump likes to do this. So let's say. But that's that's silly because you never know when Trump's going to act crazy or whatever.
Starting point is 00:30:54 True. And you know what? That would have required a little bit of forethought. So I will rule that out completely because I don't think they have any forethought whatsoever. I've never been more conspiratorial in my life than this whole year. This year, yeah. Because it's like, things make literally no sense.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Like, you... I can't remember who tweeted about this, but it was like a journalist. It was a prominent journalist that... Oh, I think it was a guy who was used to with the New York Times. The Sunbelt states never locked down. They're doing fine. South Dakota never locked down. Their GDPp is actually like slightly up yeah all of these other states are putting sick people in nursing homes or did yeah and they're shutting things down
Starting point is 00:31:34 and for what apparently for like some kind of gigantic virtue signal i really don't know because if you're putting sick people in nursing homes, what really are you going for? To me, that feels like nothing but a virtue signal saying we're doing something and maybe not even the right thing. That had to be some kind of, I don't know, man. To me, that's like pure evil because I've worked in hospitals and nursing homes. That is not a place where you take that kind of stuff lightly. Like you put on PPE for everything that someone else might get. You really wanted to make sure that your old people don't get sick.
Starting point is 00:32:13 They put people with COVID in nursing homes in multiple states. Yep. And for what reason did they do this? And now a large portion of those who died were in nursing homes. Yeah. And yeah, old people are naturally immunocompromised at a certain point, especially people in nursing homes. That is cruel.
Starting point is 00:32:34 That's really cruel. There's no like conspiracy theory. It's literal. It's like. No, it's happened. Yeah. They took people and put them in a place with the most covid vulnerable people possible and that accounted for a lot of the death like the people who are more likely to die from
Starting point is 00:32:51 covid are older people of course yeah so why would they do that and that's why look i've never been more conspiratorial i haven't either it's making me feel a little weird because i'm not naturally conspiratorial i tend to i'm very skeptical i'm. I'm like, I don't believe, you know, I want to see for sure what's happening, but I'm watching them put sick people in with old people. And I'm like, what is happening and why? I hate it. I really like old people.
Starting point is 00:33:15 And then you have to speculate because they can't be that stupid. There's no way. And I think Cuomo has even talked about it. He blamed Trump for it. He's like, oh, Trump told us to do it or something like that. Then why are all the states not doing it? Because they're full of it.
Starting point is 00:33:30 They're lying. Yeah, I have no answer. All I can tell you is, man, it just feels intentional. Yep. And then what about the riots? You know what? You know what i was thinking the other day they could have released that body cam footage is pretty much as soon as they had it keith ellison said no why did keith ellison say no he literally said i don't want to compromise a successful prosecution really yes huh that's that's actually what his reason was that's amazing and now the body cam
Starting point is 00:34:05 footage has come out from the george floyd incident and we know this the initial the narrative they gave us was not true but i i even read the report it's it's so it's so man i had someone uh criticizing me on facebook saying that i wouldn't talk about the police brutality and i'm like i have and i I cover this like every, to every degree. When, when the George Floyd thing happened, I literally, you know, went step by step. I remember that. Yeah. And I read, I read one of the reports that said they pulled him out of the vehicle for
Starting point is 00:34:35 some reason and then pinned him down. And I was like, wow. And I was like, that's it. They pulled him out again. Yeah. They could, they had him in the vehicle. They put, it turns out he kicked his way out and he said, me on the ground i'm claustrophobic and all these things three times yeah and so i still think it was a you know it's an unfortunate circumstance and we don't want
Starting point is 00:34:51 these things to happen but they held on to that body camera footage that would have proven all this and stopped all of it yeah by the time they let it out the riots were off and running like there was no stopping this and people are rioting for reasons of their own. And it's taken on a life of its own. Like I don't even know what people are on about anymore. You know what really bugs me? I keep getting text messages from the same numbers for the same candidates, but from different people. Like they hand each other the phones and say, just try again. That sounds like fun.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Yeah. So I got a text message, I think, yesterday. And they were like, can we count on you to make a donation to you know this progressive whatever and i said straight up i was like absolutely not because i'm tired of the riots and i'm tired of the lies yeah like the riots have been going on and the media is acting like it's not happening what did they say they i understand can i ask who you're supporting the only person who has said they will deal with the riots. And like, and who is that? And I'm like, I hope you have a nice day.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Yeah. And then today I get a text message from the same number. It's a different name. Hi, this is Jack. Yesterday, you know, yesterday it's like, hi, it's Mike. Now it's Jack or Sarah or whatever. And we're hoping you contribute to the campaign of this person or whatever. And I'm like, I told the person the exact same thing yesterday.
Starting point is 00:36:06 I was like, you know, they raised the bridges in Chicago and shut down the loop area. They're like, shouldn't people know about what's going on? They sure should. I wonder why it is YouTube allows channels like this to exist. Like ours? Yeah. What makes you wonder? Like, because we're talking bad about the narrative and everything they've put forward.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Like the, I don't know, is it to feign there's some kind of objection? I think so. I think they have to pretend that they're mildly objective. I don't think they see any way around that. Because with so many different avenues of social media, there's going to be some way you can speak up and say something. I think maybe it has to do with like, yes, you know, they want to make it look like you have an objective platform. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:52 And I think it has a lot to do with if there is no, you have controlled opposition essentially. Not that there's anyone at YouTube telling me what to say, but I do think it's rather interesting that certain channels seem to do okay and certain channels don't and certain channels get deleted. And I think there's an acceptable opposition that these companies feel safe with. I think it's mostly business related, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was political as well. Like they're both interests that companies have. And so it's basically like one of the things I've talked about before is how they spin the wheel so that far left becomes left, you know, right wing becomes
Starting point is 00:37:29 far right. Centrist becomes right wing. They want to shift everything over. And so they're OK with like, you know, a liberal like me doing content that's, you know, talking, you know, against the Democrats because they want an acceptable opposition right that almost sounds like an art of war strategy so if you if you have opposition do everything in your power to kind of contain them and control them to a level that you can you can actually like keep track of what they're saying he's worried about my camera we'll see if we can fix it yeah that'd be great what What do you think? Oh, it's just. It's frustrating. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:07 I shouldn't hold that up. We're chilling. Yeah. I'm exhausted, man. To be completely honest, I'm super exhausted. I work 16 hours a day, all day, every single day. It's a long week. It's a long week, man.
Starting point is 00:38:23 And it's rough, especially with, you know, just with the news and the riots. And I think one of the big issues for me, especially, is that it's all the same every single day. It does get a little repetitive. I know. And I've talked about it, too. It's like I wake up and we just increment the number on the riots. Right. And then you get the same garbage narrative, the peaceful protests. The peaceful protests are, you at it again it's like what what am i gonna do am i gonna wake up every day and be like the same thing that happened yesterday happened today but again yes
Starting point is 00:38:56 because no one's doing anything about it for 90 days man i know a lot of people you know they say like it's really important you're you're fighting the fake news narrative and stuff like this I mean some chick got arrested Millie Weaver I don't know who she is I don't know what she got arrested for but it's creepy stuff man I don't know see it was a grand jury indictment
Starting point is 00:39:19 right well that's what they said on the camera right something they've been working on for a while burglary charge we don't know what she did we really don't know anything about it because people are asking me too This is something they've been working on for a while. Well, that's what they said on the camera. Yeah. Right. Something they've been working on for a while. Burglary charge. So we don't know what she did. We really don't know anything about it because people are asking me too. I just, I am the tomato lady tonight.
Starting point is 00:39:32 That's how it's going to be. I'm sorry, guys. It's fine. It's all good. I'm just very badly sunburned. I am a very Irish, if you can tell. All right. There's Tim. He's fixing it.
Starting point is 00:39:41 I'm trying. I'm trying to fix it. Maybe we're going to fix it. Thanks for bearing with us, guys. really uh fun fascinating well we're booking some guests yes we are oh man i'm excited about that too yeah soon right yeah yeah we're gonna be talking to some people about how they left the left stuff like that i know yeah exactly it's the same thing that uh that comes up all the time yeah but everyone has a different story so i'm really interested to hear what this this person has to
Starting point is 00:40:10 say and what we can kind of figure out and maybe it's something that is they've seen in their family and friends too that would be really that would be encouraging i would be happy to hear that if people who are on who are liberals or even leftists were like, I'm really tired of this nonsense. You know, someone had a shop. I knew them. It got knocked down in these riots, and I think it's crazy, so I'm going to vote for a certain orange-skinned gentleman. Well, you're red.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Yeah, I know. I wonder if it has to do with this. I feel kinship with Mr. Trump there. I don't know. Maybe it's the UFO. No, we got the lights on sometimes. Let's see if it works. No, you're still red. But I'm happy it's all good you're right i think actually maybe maybe it's the ufo it could be because you're wearing a lot of blue or something possibly let's talk
Starting point is 00:40:53 about something funny yes and uh take us out this is amazing james lindsey was it death scar conceptual james yeah tweeted lol woke at Andrew Doyle. For those that aren't familiar, Andrew Doyle runs a parody Twitter account called Titania McGrath. And when I saw this tweet, it says LOL woke, and he's quoting Bronco Bookstore, who said,
Starting point is 00:41:18 we've put together a section at the Bronco Bookstore of books that focus on diversity, equity, and inclusivity. Check it out and get the conversation started. All books are also available on our website. Can I talk about this a little bit? Sure. Because I feel like he kind of buried the lead a little bit on this one, because this looks like a great display. So if you click it and look at it, this is fantastic. We can see
Starting point is 00:41:40 Stacey Abrams. We'll make the picture bigger. Look at this. Oh yeah, I can do that. How to be an anti-racist by Ibram X. Kendi. This is wonderful instruction. I'm just surprised, you know, white fragility isn't right here. It's time to talk. It's time to listen. And this bookstore is so woke. You want to know how woke they are, Tim?
Starting point is 00:41:58 They have. Look at this book here in the right-hand corner. It is a book that is literally called Woke. And you guys know who it's by right that is by our favorite blonde haired bespectacled lady on twitter miss titania mcgrath titania my bad she's named after the name is the nymph he's a he's um so this guy andrew doyle is a literature expert and he read a lot of shakespeare and titania tit, my gosh, is the queen of the fairies. So he picked her name, and he uses her to virtue signal loudly.
Starting point is 00:42:30 And this is his book. Woke. It's satire. Andrew Doyle is the man. The joke is, I guess the humorous moment, is that they created this display of actual woke books. Yep. It's time to talk and listen.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Lead from the outside,acy abrams and they put a satirical anti-sjw book which mocks them to no end yep and we get jarvis dupont jarvis dupont is also a fake sjw on twitter he's um how many followers he's her boyfriend i guess is he i don't know he's got 126,000 followers. He says, I use my white privilege as a raft to transport minorities from the cave of oppression to the island of equal prosperity. Trans, she, her, lesbian. We're going to get in trouble. Jarvis says, yes, good to see Titania McGrath getting at least a small fraction of the recognition she deserves.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Although disappointing to not see her on the plinth, do better next time, Bronco Bookstore. Let me show you what happens when you open Titania McGrath. Titania's following no one, and that's what you get. Whoa. Yeah. Temporary restriction. They really don't like the prominence of Andrew Doyle's satirical creation. I love it.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Check this out. Caution, this account is temporarily restricted. Are we ready? Let's view the profile. So Titania... There she is. She's so lovely with the glasses. So check this out.
Starting point is 00:43:55 You guys know Titania. You probably know Titania. We're gonna talk about Titania, I guess, for now because I think it's hilarious this book is up there. And there are some new jokes from Andrew Doyle. Titania says, I have written a book for children. It's called My First Little Book of Intersectional Activism. The next generation must be taught to think exactly like me.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Pre-order immediately. And Joseph Stalin is right there. Oh, my gosh. So there's a bunch of names. Brie Larson. Where, really? Down at the bottom left corner oh yeah brie larson congratulations greta thunberg joseph stalin oh my linda sarsour jessica yanni very cool wow
Starting point is 00:44:33 just a who's who yeah somebody highlighted joseph stalin right there joseph stalin oh this is enjoyable i like those are your intersectional activists and there was a, I'll show you a funny tweet from Titania. Where is that one? Here we go. Future generations will thank us if we successfully eliminate heterosexuality. Yes, preach, queen. Wait, how does that work? That's exactly, it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:44:58 That's exactly the point. I know. So anyway, you guys know, you probably have heard of Titania. We've talked about Titania before. We actually did this big thing where we went through a whole bunch of posts where Titania called out everything is racist. Yes. So again, this is Andrew Doyle who runs the account. It's a brilliant creation.
Starting point is 00:45:16 And he actually put together, through Titania, of course, all of these articles about how literally everything is racist. Yeah. Like, I'm not kidding. He does satire, but these articles were real were real yeah and depressing because it was everything right so it's like not seeing colors racist seeing colors racist it's it's it's women are racist apparently women are just in general just in general they're all right yeah you know 3.5 billion people racist what yeah remember that was one of the articles on the list women are yeah women in
Starting point is 00:45:46 general i remember thinking i mean well they think everyone is racist so yeah that's the case anyway the reason why i'm showing you the absurdity of saying future generations won't exist if we're right but that's that's that's what ends up getting propped up on uh that's what that's what they end up putting i i'm is this a joke i don't know i don't think it is one of those is especially helpful yes this makes me feel better a little bit because things have been what a little down but i really really like and i'm going to point out i hope so everyone else can enjoy this with me is the title of stacy abrams book which is lead from the outside which implies that she is not
Starting point is 00:46:27 the governor of georgia which makes me very i thought she said she was i thought she was too that was 2018 she has not let go of the dream but apparently based on the title of her book she's not how could how could biden and kamala actually win? Dude, I don't see it. And here's why. I was thinking, who in the world is less likable than Hillary Clinton? And I can only think of one person. You know who it was? Kamala?
Starting point is 00:46:56 Yeah, it was Kamala Harris. I was like, am I going to guess? Yeah, you have to guess. Sorry. When they called her name as the choice for Joe joe biden i was like you know what i feel good i'm feeling good that made my day good everybody was laughing dude we did a video everybody was laughing i did like four videos on it it was like everybody kind of knew he was gonna do it yeah and then it was all just like twitter was it was it was a rainbow hand-holding kumbaya kind of moment fantastic
Starting point is 00:47:27 everyone agreed everyone agreed literally everyone agreed it's like everyone agreeing about certain incidents in that one jail that one time not happening there was a really funny tweet uh i can't it was i think the reagan battalion said that the rnc newsletter talks about liberals or whatever you know ragging on Kamala. Yeah. And it was like some Young Turks people and like Kyle Kalinske and then like Michael Tracy. And then a bunch of people started laughing like none of these people are like actual Democratic based voters. Yep.
Starting point is 00:47:57 And Kyle Kalinske responded. He's a progressive commentator for those who don't know. Wait till the Republicans see what I say about them. I thought it was hilarious. But it was it was funny because you actually created a unity moment. You know, I think Kamala is really something special. And I appreciate and respect her because. Hold on. What did you just call her?
Starting point is 00:48:15 Kamala. Yeah. Kamala. Yeah. I quickly corrected it there. I have I have a hard time with her name. You have to understand that pronouncing her name wrong. Her name wrong is racism.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Not only racism, but sexism, because it shows you don't respect women women what was i saying oh well it's because you it's it's your fault i know being a bigot my racism blinded me and i forgot what i was gonna say i'm sorry did you see that was wonderful did you see yes no no wait i remembered okay okay what i really like about her is that she has found a way to be awful to every single demographic in different ways. It's really, I really think that's what's going to bring us together as a country to vote against Joe Biden in November. I think maybe they were like, what can we do to make the worst possible, like who are
Starting point is 00:49:02 the worst people in the world like that we have right now oh i don't know no they did they found it warriors no they did you have kamala and biden yeah yeah i think you're the worst possible candidates the least charismatic everybody joe biden's falling asleep yep and kamala is is cop mullah and she's a despotic lunatic yeah it's the issue isn't that she is a cop. It's really not. She's everything that's wrong with everything that they complain about, about police. She has done it all. She's really made corruption like her specialty.
Starting point is 00:49:34 I mean, well, it's like we were saying the other day, you can get non-policing and kind of overboard. Yep. So I was making fun of Kamala and somebody tweeted at me that Tim is no longer tough on crime, pro-Trump or whatever. And I was like, first of all, no. Like there's a difference between saying, yes, police, please arrest that man who was lighting that building on fire with people inside. Yes. Or like when the dude showed up in Tacoma with the rifle throwing firebombs.
Starting point is 00:50:01 It's like, please do not hurt these men who are staying outside this building. And please, police, help stop this man who's throwing firebombs and shooting at people. There's a difference between that and Kamala Harris, who's like, she's cackling about how homeless mothers are being locked up because their kids aren't going to school. Yep, she's joking about smoking marijuana because of her background, while people that she put in jail for marijuana offenses
Starting point is 00:50:27 are literally languishing in jail if they're not fighting forest fires because she thought it would be a good investment to make them work for nothing and to lengthen their sentences for, not nothing, like a dollar an hour. A dollar an hour. Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I repent. I'm sorry. I'm Lydia.
Starting point is 00:50:41 I think you're wrong. Yeah? Yeah, I think you're wrong. How so? You said more unlikable than Hillary. Lydia. I think you're wrong. Yeah? Yeah, I think you're wrong. How so? You said more unlikable than Hillary. Ooh. I think Hillary is... Are you challenging me on that?
Starting point is 00:50:50 I am. Well, I guess if I had to make an assessment on the point system of unlikeability... Okay, yeah, let's do it. Hillary is way more unlikable than Kamala. Yeah? What makes you say that? It probably has more to do with the fact that we've seen more of Hillary. Okay, yeah. so that's fair but but i think there was that comment that one time that one time they're talking about julian assange and hillary was reported to have said can't we just drone this
Starting point is 00:51:16 guy and then i think their response was like it was a joke no it wasn't it's all they did during the obama administration what was it we came we saw he died yeah fantastic commentary that's just wonderful i like to imagine like obama he's got like his he's got he's like in work attire so he's got like a button-up shirt with his sleeves are rolled up of course they are and he's like sitting on the couch with his feet up on the coffee table and he's like texting and then like hillary's sitting like smoking a cigarette and then obama's just like oh man there's like some guy in the middle east and then hillary's like i'll just drown him he's like all right presses the button just like that that willy-nilly just like oops it was a 16 year old american doesn't bother them at all yeah maybe you're right maybe we just need to see more of kamala my friends i have really good news for
Starting point is 00:51:59 all of you yeah yeah i'm excited you look thrilled what yeah what is it do you know the good news is you do know i think i. I think I do. Hillary Clinton is back, baby. Yes. Speak of the devil. Hillary Clinton is back. She shall appear. Hillary Clinton says she's ready to serve in a Biden administration, former Secretary
Starting point is 00:52:14 of State, and defeated 2016 candidate Pence at a return to D.C. and wants to help fix the U.S. Fix the U.S. Thank you, Lord. We need Hillary to help us fix the U.S. Oh, no. We. Thank you, Lord. We need Hillary to help us fix the U.S. Oh, no. We do. We got that Cheeto dictator in office, man.
Starting point is 00:52:30 And all and Drumpf. Drumpf. We got we got the great New York Times. That's right. I got a source on that now. Finally calling out Drumpf. They got him. Man, they got him.
Starting point is 00:52:40 He'll never recover. Yeah, we should read the article. Hillary Clinton says she's ready to serve in a Biden administration. Oh. The former 2016 Democratic presidential candidate was speaking during the 19th Represents Summit when she made the remarks. I am ready to help in any way. And anyway, and in any way I can, because I think this will be a moment where every American,
Starting point is 00:53:03 I don't care what party you are. I don't care what age, race, gender, I don't care. Every American should want to fix our country, Clinton said. So if you're asked to serve, you should certainly consider that. Clinton served alongside Joe Biden in the Obama administration as Secretary of State. Her tenure was highly criticized by Republicans who questioned her handling of the 2012 Benghazi terror attack. I'm thrilled to welcome Kamala Harris to a to a historic a historic. You told me it was an historic. I did.
Starting point is 00:53:32 And they're wrong. A historic Democratic ticket. Clinton tweeted Tuesday. She tweeted wrong. She tweeted wrong. She's already proven herself to be an incredible public servant and leader. And I know she'll be a strong part of Joe Biden. Please join me in having her back.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Blah, blah, blah. We get it. Sheah, blah, blah. We get it. She announced. Okay, listen. I did a segment on my main channel talking about the potential for history repeating itself. Yes. Because they keep bringing up Mondale.
Starting point is 00:53:58 They did an article. It was the New York Times, right? Not sure. It was, what's her name? I can't remember the name of the woman who did this. But she wrote about how it's been 36 years since a man had a woman on the ticket together or whatever. And Hillary Clinton responded with like, I'm pretty sure Tim Kaine and I didn't hallucinate
Starting point is 00:54:18 the 2016 cycle. And I thought it was actually really funny that they screwed it up that bad because Hillary is a woman yep but uh anyway they fixed it and they send it back to mondale because uh walter mondale had geraldine ferrero i think i'm pronouncing her name right yeah something like that as his running mate and they're likening what's happening now a bit to that race that is an interesting race to compare to. A 49-state landslide. So anyway, I'm rehashing this specifically for a reason.
Starting point is 00:54:51 If there was anything that could guarantee, in my opinion, a 49-state landslide, anything, first, we have mass riots going on for like 76 days in Portland. Yep, got that. Get this. Most of you, you may know this. I know there's a lot of people who, you'll come here, you will hear me say similar things I said on my earlier segments. But a lot of people come just for the live show.
Starting point is 00:55:15 So I'll tell you straight up. The state police in Oregon were dispatched. And when they were, the federal police officers went back in the courthouse and stayed there. And then all of a sudden, the media started screaming, it's over. As soon as the feds left, peace. Even though it's not true, the riots continued. They went to residential neighborhoods. The state police just announced they're pulling out because the prosecutors won't arrest anybody.
Starting point is 00:55:37 So now Trump gets to come out and laugh. Told you so because the violence did not stop. And he's going to come back out again. You got the violence in Chicago. They have they're locking down the city all this week. Oh, they are all this week. Whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:52 I didn't realize that. Yeah. And Michael Tracy, journalist, tweeted, Don't you think people like need to know what's happening? Where's the national reporters explaining why Chicago is doing this? I couldn't imagine being in Chicago right now. Donald Trump says New York is in play. He says he's going to try and win New York for the first time since Reagan. That would be crazy. For my lifetime, I was not alive when Reagan won. OK, and then, you know, for the most of my life, we've had this
Starting point is 00:56:19 pretty basic, you know, electoral pattern. So anyway, to my point, you've got mass riots. They're getting worse. Trump was right about Portland. And if Trump sent in the feds to Chicago, like the media lied and claimed he did, the looting would not have happened. The feds would have been able to come out, but
Starting point is 00:56:39 instead, everything gets tore up. New York is apocalyptic. It's a ghost town it really is how many people have left now i think it was the blue thing behind me i think i fixed it you fix it you're not red you're no longer red yeah i like it it was uh right now they're saying 13 000 empty apartments yep it's a record since like i don't know back in the 70s or something companies are leaving like 54 or something yeah companies are leaving. Or like 54 or something. Yeah, companies are leaving.
Starting point is 00:57:10 So look, and this is due to just general mismanagement. But you've got politicians, these Democrats, actively supporting these, you know, the Black Lives Matter movement. Let me tell you something. I want to, I want to, I was going to make a joke and I'm going to make the joke, but then I'm going to be serious. Yeah. Hillary Clinton added on top of the pile of economic collapse, mass riots, Kamala Harris and Biden gaffes, despotism. And then they're like, we really need to make sure Trump landslides.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Let's throw Hillary Clinton on top. That actually makes sense. And now it's like, OK, that's it. The avalanche started. It's like, it reminds me almost of those videos where people will stack stuff on people while they're sleeping. You ever see that?
Starting point is 00:57:51 Yeah, I've seen people do that with babies, I think. It's like a bunch of blocks on them. It's actually really funny and horrible to watch because they don't usually wake up. They're completely still and silent. Well, okay, babies. Well, maybe a bit too far. You know, babies are okay., but people do it to cats.
Starting point is 00:58:07 It's funny. It's like they'll be like a sleeping animal, and they'll put a cup on its head, and then they'll start stacking things. So when they wake up, they do it to people. That's what it feels like is going on. The American people were sleeping and ignoring everything. And then while they were ignoring everything, not voting, and people were stacking things on top of them. And then finally, COVID and the riots was like a Kramer door.
Starting point is 00:58:30 You know, you've seen Seinfeld, right? Yeah. He like pops it open and slides in. He's like, oh, and then that shock has that person sleeping covered in all this awful garbage, waking up and going, ah, and then garbage flies everywhere. That's what it feels like. Regular Americans were sitting around. They weren't paying attention to what was going on everything started getting worse all this stuff was being
Starting point is 00:58:48 stacked on top of them and then the riots bam they wake up and they're like whoa there's trash everywhere you know what you know what they're gonna do with all that garbage that's piled up on them they are gonna kick it clear across the room and i'm not convinced that's not what's gonna happen in november i think it's gonna be a blow blowout. Well, I'll put it this way. You've got this person finally wakes up and there's garbage everywhere. And they see the people who are stacking the garbage are kicking and jumping around and stomping in garbage. And they got one roommate who's basically like, no, no, no, it's okay. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:59:20 The other roommate's angry saying, I'm going to get somebody to come clean this up. You guys knock it off. And they're going to be like, I'm with this guy. Like, clean up the garbage, man. Knock it off. Right. Whose idea was this? They woke up so many people.
Starting point is 00:59:32 It's like we were talking about a moment ago. People I know who are tweeting who normally didn't. They woke up. Yeah. They've been, like, activated. And I can't imagine they're going to go out and support Joe Biden. And you know what? I don't think that Hillary's new hairstyle is personable enough
Starting point is 00:59:46 for people to be like, you know what? I forgive her. I've forgotten everything she did that was wrong. Look at this hair. Like, seriously, look at this little mom guilt trip about doing what's right for your country. No, no, no. It's not going to work.
Starting point is 01:00:00 I'm having flashbacks to 2016 and I don't like it. It's making me really unhappy. I don't think she's going to do anything with them. You don't think so? No, I think she's desperate. I think that her voice is toxic. And I don't know if she doesn't realize it or if she needs like a new press, whatever press person to like rest the phone from her grip because that's, she shouldn't be talking
Starting point is 01:00:18 right now. Like Kamala Harris. Do you think they're trying to make Kamala Harris look likable by bringing Hillary into the picture? Oh, yeah. It's like that family guy joke I brought up before. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:29 Where the studio hires an ugly woman to stand next to Meg so that she looks better by by relativity or whatever. That's it. By comparison. That's it. And then she pulls the ugly woman next to her. The guy walks up and he goes, hey, Meg, did you get less ugly? She's like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:41 She pulls the girl. Hey, Kamala, did you get a little more likable next to Hillary Clinton? You stand next to Hillary Clinton, man. And that's's a that's an easy one so look that's a joke okay to be completely fair it's a joke i don't i don't think hillary is going to do anything maybe but i'm going to be serious now because the the joke i was making was that i said if there was one thing that would guarantee trump a landslide, it would be them bringing on Hillary Clinton. I don't think that's it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:08 I don't think we have it pulled up. But, you know, I was thinking about it and I'm like, maybe I shouldn't make this joke because the reality is New York announced they wouldn't be doing the 9-11 memorial, the light show. And it is this. They're not going to do it because of COVID concerns. My understanding is that another nonprofit stepped up to make sure it happens. Yeah, they're going to do it by any means necessary, they were saying. They're like, this is not something
Starting point is 01:01:33 that we're willing to put aside. And I don't think they referred to, for example, the BLM mark in the street or anything, but they were very serious about it. I think it was the SBA, some association of police officers. And they were like, we're not going to let this slide, which I thought was great. I'm really happy to see that.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Like, I'm happy to see normal people saying this is something that's important. And you're not just going to take it away from us. Because if you're healthy enough to be raising cane in the streets and painting stuff on the streets, then why are you telling us that we can't do this? You could literally just push the button. Yeah looks like this it's a memorial for the twin towers and they're like we can't do it because coronavirus oh yeah which is a lie a total lie total lie like why what's their reasoning it's covid they say it requires a large team to pull off and it's a lie and the reason i say it's a lie is because they're marching with Black Lives Matter. They're using city resources to paint the ground.
Starting point is 01:02:30 I got to be honest. This, in my opinion, is if this story, you know, goes viral, I really don't think Biden and Harris could win. I mean, first, Trump needs to address it. Yeah. And I wonder what Biden and Harris would win. I mean, first, Trump needs to address it. Yeah. And I wonder what Biden and Harris would actually say about it. But nothing.
Starting point is 01:02:50 Absolutely nothing. They will not address this at all. To be fair, Joe Biden said the Antifa people should be arrested, you know, and charged. I will make a gentle person's bet with you. Gentle persons? You're so politically correct.
Starting point is 01:03:03 I am indeed. A gentle person's bet. And you guys are so politically correct i am indeed a gentle person's bet and you guys are welcome to take me up on this that they will not say a single word about this but will trump i think he will and it might be late it might be too late to do anything but i think he'll bring it up at some point right now there's so politically the opportunity to address it is now yeah because apparently there's other groups that are going to step in and they're going to make sure it happens. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:26 But I got to tell you this, man. What do you think the average American is going to be thinking when they see Bill de Blasio painting Black Lives Matter and then New York City saying, no 9-11 memorial? It's obviously inconsistent.
Starting point is 01:03:40 I'm not saying Bill de Blasio is the one, you know, orchestrating the shutdown of the memorial. What I'm saying is you have a city where the mayor can defy the law with no permit, paint his political slogan in front of someone else's building. Well, they're usually someone else's building, but in front of Trump's building. Then if taxpayer resources fund the cops, we're going to stand there and we can't make the 9-11 memorial happen.
Starting point is 01:04:04 That's a horrifying indictment on our country and the people of New York. the cops were going to stand there and we can't make the 9-11 memorial happen that's that's that's a horrifying indictment on our our country yeah and the people of new york but that being said of course people immediately stepped up to try and make sure this does happen well i don't know if it's still going to happen but they're straight up saying so for now it's not right and there's i forgot the other non-profit as they said they're going to do whatever they have to to make it work right and you know bill de blasio was talking about how black lives matter transcends politics And I forgot what the other nonprofit is. They said they're going to do whatever they have to to make it work right. And you know, Bill de Blasio was talking about how Black Lives Matter transcends politics. You want to talk about something that actually transcends politics?
Starting point is 01:04:35 Commemorating 9-11. Because that affected everyone. It brought the whole country together. And it still is something that every single person in every single party should remember. Yeah. Like this is not something to mess around with. And I hope that people remember it, honestly, because that's something that we should. Well. It kind of feels like the country's falling apart.
Starting point is 01:04:54 And if we could come together on something that would actually make us feel some kind of brotherhood with our neighbors. It should. Do you know the date of the Pearl Harbor bombings? Yeah. What is it? December 7th, 1944. See, I doncember 7th 1944 see i don't remember that date you remember that date no it was a day that will live on in infamy i know and in chicago when you take the train i think it's the orange line train from the south side into the loop there was a building i always remember that it had pearl harbor and 9-11 painted on it and it was like never forget and it showed both
Starting point is 01:05:26 that's cool yeah i don't know if it's still there yeah i'd be curious we should pull up google maps well it was a train line i don't you might be able to yeah but i remember seeing it and you know i i didn't remember the date obviously i remember 9-11 i was alive i was you know 14 or whatever watching it happen and when it come when pearl harbor i don't know it was the 70s it what's that what no no what was the date you said okay it was december 7th 1944 yeah yeah so i think the reason i remember is because i used to work with old people yeah and i i would talk to people about what they were doing and i asked them what they were doing on the day that pearl harbor happened. And some of them could tell me.
Starting point is 01:06:08 And that was really interesting because it was so different from 9-11. But the emotion was definitely still there. And I was like, so you guys weren't like sitting around the TV like we were, but you were listening to it on the radio. Huh. That's really interesting. She's and this lady I was talking to was like, yeah, it brought everyone together. Very similar to the way 9-11 did. And I think that they're,
Starting point is 01:06:28 do they want the division that we have in this country? Do they think this is good? Is this what they're trying to fight by getting rid of the 9-11 memorial? I don't know. I'm just spitballing. I don't know. But the reason I brought it up
Starting point is 01:06:40 and asked you if you knew the date. Yeah, sorry about that. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah. I have no idea why I said 70s. I don't know what I was thinking. A little off. Very, very off.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Because you said 7th, and I was like, wait, what did you say? Did you say 70s? That doesn't sound right, yeah. No, that's clearly wrong. But I was thinking about, we're going to have a generation of young people that were either born after 9-11, which is a lot of people right now.
Starting point is 01:07:04 Yeah, a lot of them. Like the TikTok generation. Oh, gosh. And there's11 which is a lot of people right now a lot of them uh like the tiktok generation and there's going to be a lot of people who were born at a certain point where they were too young to remember it yeah and they're not going to remember it and so when that point hits i think in maybe 10 or 20 years you will see the memorial lights get turned off one night and that's that's a night when people are gonna be like i don't know whatever right now it's not that makes me sad yeah i mean do we still do anything for pearl harbor like in this regard no maybe maybe maybe you know in pearl harbor you know i think i think politicians do and at pearl harbor they actually do have memorial like tours and stuff um i think they give speeches on pearl harper day not that i can recall any of
Starting point is 01:07:45 them immediately offhand yeah but i think they do commemorate it at the kind of national level it's kind of crazy you know weird but i i was reading this earlier and i'm just i'm just offended you know i mean there should be no circumstance where this story should need to be reported the city i believe the city should be able. So let me read the context real quick, just so I can properly explain what's going on. The New York Post says the iconic lower Manhattan 9-11 memorial display that features twin beams of light to honor victims of the terror attacks will not shine this year over coronavirus concerns, organizers said Thursday. The annual tributeute in Light display requires a large crew
Starting point is 01:08:26 to pull off, the 9-11 Memorial and Museum said on its website, posing health risks this year that were far too great. The museum said it was an incredibly difficult decision to nix the lights, but announced an alternative citywide initiative to commemorate the 19th anniversary of September 11th. The new plan, dubbed the Tribute in Lights, will feature buildings across the city lighting up their facades and spires in blue on 9-11. In a spirit of unity and remembrance, the city will come together for a Tribute in Lights to inspire the world and honor the promise to never forget. Many iconic New York City buildings will be lighting their spires and facades in blue to honor those killed on 9-11. The decision to cancel
Starting point is 01:09:03 the Tribute in Light memorial comes after the museum this year also scrapped the in-person reading of 9-11 victims' names at the annual Ground Zero ceremony. But last week, a non-profit, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, announced its own separate Lower Manhattan ceremony where select family members of 9-11 victims will be permitted to read the names of their loved ones. I think we're in trouble. It's scary to me that they will paint Black Lives Matter in the street and arrest anyone who dare oppose them without permitting, and they will not read the names of 9-11 victims. To me, it really feels like they're just pulling for division. And I hate to see that, but it's making me really suspicious.
Starting point is 01:09:44 What else would you call this well i know it's not the city that's deciding it right but don't you like isn't it fair to say that there's some kind of cultural problem we're having if there's no resources for this event why couldn't bill de blasio without permit pulled taxpayer funding to guarantee the reading of the 9-11 victims' names. So it shows misprioritization, for sure. And it shows that people like Bill de Blasio just have way too much power, which I think we already knew.
Starting point is 01:10:14 But this is really... They're not supposed to have that power. Of course not. The problem is the people who just go along with whatever they say. Right. When are you going to throw a fit and make something happen? You know, how do you prevent something like that? Because our system is, of course, naturally hierarchical. And you have police. They're like, I don't know, my boss said to go
Starting point is 01:10:34 do this. It's like, well, do you know what you're doing is illegal, right? Doesn't matter. My boss said do it. You know what? I think I'm going to sound like I'm beating a dead horse. And I think you're probably going to agree with me, but I'll say it again. I think that the reason we're having this problem is because it's been good for so long. It's been too good for too long. We've forgotten what it's like. We assume that things are the way they are and that everyone's got our best interest at heart. And we've forgotten that, you know, our great-great-grandparents were pioneers and that our grandparents fought in wars and that this is actually something special and different.
Starting point is 01:11:03 And we don't travel that much. We don't see other countries. So we're like, all right. So this creep different we don't travel that much we don't see other countries so we're like all right so this creep we don't pay any attention to it we just kowtow to whenever someone tells us you're going to do this it doesn't matter if it breaks constitutional law or whatever we're gonna do it because uh that's the way things are oh man so what you're saying is the people of this country weren't sleeping while their roommates were stacking objects on top of them. They were awake. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:27 But stoned. Yes. I think so. And immediately all of the stoners are like, how dare you? I'd push the dislike button if I didn't have to get up. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. It's a joke. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:39 I think you're right, though, because sleep is something relatively involuntary. And being drunk or stoned is something that.untary and being state being like drunk or stoned is something downers yeah and downers you're kind of sleepy you're out of it i get it like i feel good man i don't know they're stacking stuff on top of me but i don't care that's a problem for future me and then yeah yeah yeah and then they're like about to balance the gigantic wrench on top of your head and you're like oh, oh, man, that might fall. And it does. It hits your toe. And you're like, you're freaking out. And now it's finally so bad.
Starting point is 01:12:08 But you didn't do enough before. I don't think I honestly I don't know if there's like an actual way to solve that without some kind of different system. I know a lot of people love to bring up Starship Troopers. Yeah. Have you read Starship Troopers? I haven't. Or seen the movie?
Starting point is 01:12:22 No, I've only heard like little snips about it. And it makes me want to read it and watch the movie we should watch the movie movie night yeah the movie is weird because apparently like the interpretation of the book in movie form like turned everyone into nazis well that's annoying yeah like sargon did a thing about it where he was basically like the stars the society of starship Troopers is supposed to be a liberal society. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not going to pretend to know all the details.
Starting point is 01:12:48 I'm sure Sargon knows way more about it than I do. But the general idea is that service guarantees citizenship. Right. If you serve in any way for a couple years, you gain the right to vote and participate in public matters. Civilians have full rights, but don't vote and don't, you know, run for office and stuff like that. It was an interesting idea because it makes sure that only the people who actually are working to better.
Starting point is 01:13:13 That's interesting to me because, you know, when women got the right to vote, similar responsibilities were not required of them as were required of men. Yep. And even then I saw that as being a problem. Like, I think it's great. I think everyone should have a say in what happens in the world. I think women are important. I think having families is important
Starting point is 01:13:30 and doing whatever you want to do is absolutely pivotal. But if you're going to have rights, you should also have responsibilities. Men still have the draft. And you got to have the responsibilities, man. So I don't have anything pulled up. Definitely fact check me on this one. But I was reading I was reading something about it that said one of the big arguments
Starting point is 01:13:51 from women's groups against the right to vote. I remember was that they didn't want to join the fire brigade or like do other public services. Yeah. I guess back then for men, it was like volunteer fire service was mandatory or something. Right. Voluntary. It was actually part of. Civic duty.
Starting point is 01:14:09 Yeah, part of civic duty. And, you know, voting is obviously part of civic duty too. That is interesting. I remember some of that anti-feminist propaganda, which sounds terrible now. I know. But it's so interesting because you're like, what were these people actually thinking? How could you possibly think that women don't deserve or don't need the right to vote? And you read what they're saying and they're like, well, we think that it's important that women be at home.
Starting point is 01:14:31 And we don't women we don't really want women to have the extra tasks of like putting out fire. Should they come up? It turns out women aren't really all that great at that kind of stuff. And if you have a weak link in a fire chain, you're going to have a problem. So. So ultimately, though, they the right to vote was granted without any additional responsibility. You know what? I need to figure out why that happened. But to be I don't I don't I'm not in the fire brigade. I don't put out fires.
Starting point is 01:14:54 You know, I you know what I mean? Are you not in the draft? Oh, well, that's true. Yeah, that's the draft, man. And yeah. And they rule. They recently ruled, I think. Right.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Yeah. Remember when the feminists were melting down thinking that they might have to just be housewives now because they might actually get equality. The draft is dumb. Yeah. We can agree. Absolutely. I think the issue with the draft that people don't understand, or actually the problem
Starting point is 01:15:19 with it was the exploitation of it. Right. You know, people didn't know why we were going to Vietnam. Right. Or Korea or these other countries i mean i could only say i'm like personally glad that you know the u.s was somewhat involved in korea and is now extremely involved in korea because south korea is a free and amazing place you know putting their weird racism aside that's right fine korea but uh a lot of people didn't understand.
Starting point is 01:15:45 And so they resisted and they opposed it. It's really interesting because I was reading about the weather underground a little bit. And you're familiar with who they're? A little bit. Like 70s terrorists. Yeah. They were like, what was their driving force? Like anti-Vietnam War, I think.
Starting point is 01:15:59 Okay. I'm not going to pretend to know a whole lot about them. Violent peaceniks. Yeah. Got it. Violent peaceniks. Makes perfect sense. Bl peaceniks. Yeah. Got it. Violent peaceniks. Makes perfect sense. Blowing stuff up.
Starting point is 01:16:06 Yeah. My understanding is a lot of what they did was shock and awe campaigns at like really early in the morning. I'm not going to pretend to know a lot about it. That sounds horrible. But what's interesting is that it emerged out of the universities and it was very, there's a lot of pro-communist sentiment among them. Why out of the universities?
Starting point is 01:16:22 I don't know. But what I find fascinating about it is that the U.S. was engaging in these conflicts to stop communism. And communism was spreading, you know, with these extremists trying to end the Vietnam War, which would allow communism to spread. You know, that's really interesting. Yes. So much I have to learn about now. I had never really thought about Weather Underground. So I'm going to need people to send me links about the weather underground and like maybe your parents were involved or something because
Starting point is 01:16:47 and i yeah i think i think one of the guys who was involved in it like obama had him at an event or something that does sound familiar yeah bill uh what's his name bill ayers yeah i don't know a lot about it i'm not gonna pretend to but uh i do find it interesting that we're now seeing this weird rise of marxism and communism when the Cold War is over. And it reminds me of that Simpsons joke, which you probably don't know because it's like super early 90s. But like the joke was that it flashes to the UN and then Russia says something about, you know, missiles or something.
Starting point is 01:17:20 And they're like, he says something like USSR needs something or other. And they're like, wait a minute, Russia. And then he starts laughing and then he like hits a button and then russia turns back to the ussr like they're back the cold war is back or something i don't know it's been a long time since i've seen the joke i'm probably butchering it but it's something like that and so a lot of people have been saying a lot of what we see in the u.s that's destabilizing us were the seeds planted by enemies you know during the cold war that were supposed to take root in 20 30 40 years they're here that's really interesting because that's something that andrew reitbart used to talk about in his um book he wrote righteous indignation and he talked about
Starting point is 01:17:57 the ways that they were getting these ideas into colleges which is why i was like what did you say it came from colleges yeah it was really was really interesting. Well, it was university. I only read a little bit. I didn't do a ton of research, but I was pulling it up because I was reading articles that were anti-Trump. And I was like, hey, wait a minute. Wasn't that person in the weather underground or something? And I looked it up and I was like, oh, it wasn't. Right. Yeah. I remember that lady we were talking about earlier. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, I must be thinking of something else. I don't know the lady's name. Frances Prittmer Fox or something, I think. Well, no, no, no. I know her name i don't know the lady's name francis prittmer fox or something i think well no no i know her name but who was who's the lady who was like with bill ayers bill ayers girlfriend well it's like she was with him at an event for obama or something
Starting point is 01:18:33 and a lot of people took issue with it i don't know i don't know it's no surprise to me though that it's it's it's gotten as bad as it has in terms of nonsensical, like nonsensical ideology. Right. So you think about what these people are spreading and these weird Marxist ideas, and they're not really ideas. I would also, I would kind of like, are you familiar with, how do you pronounce it? Prion? Prion?
Starting point is 01:18:57 Prion. Prion diseases? Yeah. So do you know the basic function of prion disease? Yeah. From what I can tell, it's basically, so I think... Wasn't mad cow a prion disease? I think so. I know Creutzfeldt-Jakob is.
Starting point is 01:19:08 And these are diseases that you can get from eating other people. Okay. Which is really nice. So that... I avoid sounding dumb. Can you explain to me how a prion disease works? Do you know? Kind of.
Starting point is 01:19:17 So from what I... I'm putting you on the spot. Yeah, that's fine. You're the fancy doctor. I'm not a fancy doctor. So I don't know exactly... My problem is that I'm starting in a deficit because I'm not entirely sure doctor. So I don't know exactly. My problem is that I'm starting in a deficit because I'm not entirely sure what prions are. But I do know that it works against the structure
Starting point is 01:19:29 of the brain. So it's eating out holes in the brain. My general understanding is that they're malformed proteins. That sounds right. And what happens is your body will normally produce, I'm going to super simplify. Let's say it produces a protein that's shaped like, you know, a certain shape. Right. The prion is shaped like a different shape. Yeah. These are misfolded proteins. You're absolutely right. And so your body starts producing proteins that are folded improperly and can't work. And then your body starts breaking down because all of a sudden you've got a bunch of like, let's say you need a bunch of proteins that are shaped like the letter R. And now you need a bunch of proteins that are shaped like the letter r and now you get a bunch of proteins like the letter f and your body's like yo these don't fit what are you making and they're like i don't know this is
Starting point is 01:20:12 gonna keep making it and then you die yeah exactly well yeah the problem is that the neurodegenerative so it affects obviously first your brain which means your whole body falls apart it's actually really awful that's what it feels like what's happening with this intersectionality stuff. So there was recently a bunch of... It was a school curriculum release. We talked about it a little bit the other day. Every new school curriculum. I downloaded the whole thing.
Starting point is 01:20:36 Yep. I don't know what it is, but it was just basic stuff. And one of the things you see was like... We did mention this yesterday, but just for the context. where normal math problems are like, if a farmer has, you know, 3,600 oranges and his warehouse can store 2,400,000 are black. What percentage? So it's basically creating this weird intersectional Marxist idea Trojan-horsed in through regular math problems.
Starting point is 01:21:12 Well, now you're seeing too that the two plus two equals five thing. That to me feels like a prion disease. Well, you want to talk about a misfolded protein. You try to inject the idea that two plus two equals five into building a rocket. You're going to have some problems. And this is really interesting to me the curriculum because if you if you lay this out at the ground level and then you go from there everything else
Starting point is 01:21:35 is everything else is gone everything else falls apart absolutely i think this is an accurate analogy yeah so now as a society in every level of government, like in all over the place, you have these weird programs that produce nothing. Like, you know, it's interesting when I heard you have all these companies promoting diversity and they're not promoting function and practicality. So let's let you take a look at Gillette, for instance. What does Gillette do? Well, Gillette razors. They make razors, yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:11 You remove hair from your body. Yeah. Okay. And so they made a commercial that was about men being toxic. Yeah. What does this have to do with selling razors? You know, I used to, I used to always talk about this with my friends. I'm like, can you please just give me something where like the commercial is a guy going,
Starting point is 01:22:25 hello, I make razors. They're pretty good. It has three blades. It doesn't hurt your face and it takes the hair off. Give it a shot. I think it's great. Thank you. Can't commercials be like that?
Starting point is 01:22:37 That's how commercials kind of used to be, right? Yeah. You know, remember the commercial for Head On? Do you remember that? Yeah. With the stick that you put on your forehead. It's so weird. It's really, really weird.
Starting point is 01:22:46 But the commercial worked. Yeah, I remember it. Because it just repeated itself three times and then stopped. Head On, applied directly to the forehead. Head On, applied. And that was it. Yeah. You know what the opposite of that commercial was?
Starting point is 01:22:56 What? Have you seen the Quizno commercial with the weird animals screaming? No. It's considered like one of the best advertising campaigns ever because it's this really creepy thing of like animals screaming a really awful discordant song about sandwiches. And they're like weird animated things screaming. Yeah. And people just will never forget it.
Starting point is 01:23:16 You know, I think I had a horrible nightmare about this once. There you go. But I would never forget it. Holy cow. I guess you're right. The head on thing is like a good ad. So anyway, back to the point with the point with jolette these are companies that are prioritizing making an advertisement about men being toxic and not about a good product yeah surprise surprise the company
Starting point is 01:23:34 is like losing money yeah they're not doing so great last i checked to be fair though a lot of people play this up like this big get what go broke thing when actually the company was doing poorly already because of the subscription services yeah you get cheaper razors you know like harry's or dollar yeah dollar shave club harry's and and gillette was maybe we'll try and call men bigots maybe what made them think that would work well their next commercial was kind of uh reversal oh yeah the next commercial they did was like this ripped blonde hair, blue eyed white guy
Starting point is 01:24:06 with a white family. And he was in the military with a family. Like, dude, like you got complaints about it, man. But that's like entirely in the other direction. Anyway, the point is,
Starting point is 01:24:16 you're not it. Why would anyone support a company whose focus is on improving diversity instead of like, I don't know, making socks? You know what I mean? That's my first criteria when I'm looking for socks.
Starting point is 01:24:26 It's to know what they think about me as a woman. That's the only thing I care about and my delicate feminine feet. I mean, I think this is part of the problem I mentioned earlier where media can only go in one direction. Yeah. But this is what I mean when I talk about the prion disease. Yeah. It is a cultural prion disease where these companies are, there's malformed
Starting point is 01:24:47 proteins spreading throughout the company. You have a company of 100 people. And from the top, from the CEO, all the way down to the lowly workers, they make socks. They make great socks. The best socks. The best socks. Everybody agrees. And then one day, you introduce intersectionality to one of a mid-level manager. And now he like forms differently. He no longer interacts properly with the other parts of the company. He starts seeing all of these things that are wrong because his worldview just malformed. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:17 He doesn't respond to the bosses properly. He doesn't because they're racist. It's white supremacy. All his employees are doing everything wrong because they're not as woke as he is i could see that at both levels so here's what happens this person's upset but protected by law my boss is a bigot you can't fire me that's against eeoc regulation blah blah so then they say we have to comply with some of these you know training programs which spreads the pre-end disease. Now you've got half the company that cares less about making those fancy socks that everybody loves and is more concerned about making sure everybody's holding hands and diversity and
Starting point is 01:25:54 inclusion and all that. Now the company is making crappy socks. They're falling apart. So like the pre-end disease, your body can't function because half the proteins aren't working with the rest of your body. Here's the worst part, though. The pre-ends don't work with each other either.
Starting point is 01:26:10 So these woke crazies in these companies are, they're canceling each other. Yeah. They see it all the time. So then the company just plummets.
Starting point is 01:26:19 It just collapses. Scale that up to our country and that's what's happening. Yeah. Wow. You've got, You've got Bill de Blasio with painting Black Lives Matter, with no permit, with taxpayer dollars, with all the NYPD. That was malformed proteins that don't mesh, that make no sense, that is damaging. Supporting the riots, damaging. The riots, damaging. 9 9-11 memorial part of the cohesive structure tradition memory memorial we no longer fit with that it's right it's being ignored it gets shut down the fact is not that it was going to be stopped the or i should say it's it's not
Starting point is 01:27:00 like somebody decided we're going to shut this down. The problem is that there's magic money to manifest out of nowhere for Black Lives Matter. How do we ever get to a point where they had to consider not having the lights? How come it couldn't have been the city of New York guarantees that if you ever don't have the funds or the manpower, we will guarantee it by any means necessary. Right. We as a society, whether it was, you know, whether it actually ends up happening or not, prioritized a new fringe, unhinged ideology with no real goal that can only sow discord over remembering those who died and whose lives were sacrificed in trying to save others. it sounds to me like the 9-11 memorial was built when we all came together to recognize what it means to be an American, how we stand together. And that was when we were very, very unified. We built this memorial and we pledged to never forget.
Starting point is 01:27:58 Now we have this expanding malformed protein spreading throughout our our you know culture and started it existed during you know during this era too oh yeah it was in the universities yes and now these people have spread it outside of the universities do you remember when we used to say i don't know if you used to say this but i certainly used to say this and maybe just because of my kind of conservative background we used to say imagine what it's going to be like when these kids get out into the real world and they realize how hard the real world is and no one's going to give them the time of day if they're just these soft butter butter soft little biscuits and and and it turned out that they were the real world and they're turning into the real world i called this you did i i said it over and over again i was like these so a lot of people i'll be fair i there were periods where I would say something like these people are going to try
Starting point is 01:28:47 and get a job and they're going to get a cold rude awakening. Right. That's kind of what I mean. You know, outside that's true. It is true. So separating the micro from the macro, you get some of these kids to graduate. They go work for a company and the company is like, what? And they go, oh, but give it a few more years, and more people keep joining the ranks. Most people get into the boss's
Starting point is 01:29:06 positions. The universities are essentially cranking out malformed proteins into our society, and once our body is inundated with these, the proteins themselves do not produce. It is the equivalent of Gillette arguing about toxic masculinity
Starting point is 01:29:22 instead of just giving me a face trimmer, a beard trimmer or something. So imagine what happens when you have the CDC. 10% of its employees have demanded they sign onto a letter calling racism a public health crisis. Yeah, makes literally no sense. So what happens when our manpower for the CDC is overrun by this nonsensical ideology? Then you get a pandemic and they blame Trump for it. Dude, this is something that has really troubled me ever since since my whole career has been kind of at hospitals and nursing homes working with old and sick people. And I started to pay attention to culture and I started to think what happens when this
Starting point is 01:29:57 kind of nonsense starts to get into science? What happens when we stop looking for the truth and start looking for what fits our little malformed protein ideas yeah like what's gonna happen then is it is that the end is that how the world ends seriously like how are we supposed to move forward do you know the legend of john teeter no it was an old internet legend where where this this man claimed to be from the future they made a bunch of predictions and it was a bunch of funny internet images of light bending and stuff and it was nonsense but a lot of people believed it was real and the idea was that one of the ideas he had and and none of
Starting point is 01:30:36 these predictions came true i mean maybe some some people still believe this stuff i thought it was a fun website i never believed in it but uh one of the ideas was that the u.s would break apart that the east coast would be united like the east coast would essentially be the remnants of the federal government and it would be aligned with uh europe the midwest northern states would be like basically basically become part of canada the southern uh southern you know midwest and south would be part of mexico and the west coast would join china really that was like one of the conspiracy theories from back in the late 90s early 2000s that's fantastic that was what is fantastic no that kind of feels like what's happening because all the federal government is situated on the east coast right and sure whatever we have more in common with europe they're kind of they kind of look down their noses at us and then california
Starting point is 01:31:30 seems to like them some china they love themselves some communism they sure do yeah not the rural areas though oh no yeah so i i would only take really serious issue with the southern part of for texas for example joining forces with mexico i don't really see that happening texas is not that kind of state i'm just saying like that idea i thought was silly that is so interesting but the idea of the u.s fracturing yep i i i see it as possible i think people have an optimism bias and they don't want to believe it's it's you know everything's happening right now john podesta's the war games they did i don't think people realize the severity of what it means when the Boston Globe and the New York Times report
Starting point is 01:32:09 that the establishment Republicans before Trump and the Democrats teamed up to play out scenarios and ultimately determined that it was preferable to have the West Coast secede from the union than allow Trump to win the presidency. This was not some like, you know, the MIT rolled some die and a computer program said this might happen.
Starting point is 01:32:28 This was literally the politicians themselves making decisions for themselves. Yeah, this wasn't like two weird people sitting at a podcast table, for example, on a Friday night talking about, you know, the state of the country fracturing. I mean, there are politicians. They were literally playing like D&D, essentially. That's pretty funny. Yeah. Actually, that'd be a really fun thing to do like maybe like we should probably try and set up some some i'll do air quotes war games we should that'd be fun it'd be that'd be a real fun thing to do maybe like on the weekends yeah yeah we could probably do this yeah so based on what you
Starting point is 01:32:58 know about these politicians and stuff they've done in the past what do you think they do oh man i would i would play joe biden yeah the whole time i would be like oh and no one would have any idea what i was saying yeah it'd be great no i think i'd get to be trump yeah yeah what and i would just fight me for it you want to play trump yeah i want to be trump it would be fun to you know but here look listen we could play a war game scenario and uh and i can be silly and be like haha now i'm gonna launch a bunch of you know like attack helicopters but these these politicians were actual politicians you have to actually think about what the person you're acting as would be doing in the situation i think it would be interesting and i've heard this a lot you know growing up that empires only last you know 250
Starting point is 01:33:42 years or whatever i have heard that as well which is unsettling it seems like you know i don't know there's there's great risk ahead of us maybe that should give you a kind of peace because uh maybe it's just what's gonna happen maybe it's what's meant to be and maybe there we can salvage part of the country and go on and or maybe trump wins in a landslide because people are scared of that idea entirely possible as well you know i wonder about what's happening with the collapse of the economy and i wonder if this will force universal health care what uh one i could be wrong about this my understanding about universal health care in europe was because of world war ii yeah they had yeah i heard that as well it may have been one or two but they had no choice because everybody was like literally wounded and dying just be like we're going to try and take care of everybody and figure out how to fund it because we have to do this well they did
Starting point is 01:34:32 that in spain just now they finished whatever they were finished changing over their health care system because of coronavirus i remember thinking huh yeah that's really interesting a crisis that will then force action so you know it's interesting bill de blasio mentioning he wants to buy up all these buildings yep he just came right out and said it huh yeah and the mass evictions they're putting homeless people in luxury areas driving out wealthy people yep i mean nice house but that's also stripping them of their income then bernie sanders says he wants to tax like 65% of all of the gains made from billionaires. We're not talking about money made. We're talking about
Starting point is 01:35:11 if you had, like, let me break down for you what Bernie Sanders is saying. I got this here little Tim in a jar, right? Let's say this is worth five bucks. Yeah. And then because of the pandemic, a cork and a little glass tube and the things required become extremely rare. And now it's worth $100. Yep. Bernie's plan would require me to sell this and then give him $65.
Starting point is 01:35:36 So it's a tax on the wealth gains, not cash. So if I have no money and this becomes valuable what do i have to sell it i guess so i guess so yeah because you can't afford to cover however much he wants from you i wouldn't be surprised if following all of this we see a bunch of more social welfare policies enacted very heavily yeah and i see that coming from the right or the left. I don't really think it matters. I mean, if the country stays together. It will. Yeah. You know, but I, you know, I guess we could say we could just say don't have an optimism
Starting point is 01:36:12 bias. Yeah. You know, an optimism bias is basically when people think it can't happen to me. Everything's always great. It's going to be fine. And then it's not. So would you say that an optimism bias is what they had in 2016 when they were just sure that their candidate would win hillary yep definitely yep so they they and they
Starting point is 01:36:32 have it now too yeah you know they they they picked kamala and i saw this this progressive guy i know say well i still think trump was gonna lose and i'm like man you just keep right on thinking that bro yeah yeah and then you're gonna lose yep it's it's i want them to lose point all the hillary people who sat at home we'll see if they learn their lesson i kind of believe they didn't yeah because i don't think they can yeah i don't think so either they keep advocating for censorship and then getting silenced they're like wait wait no like the the young turks yeah you know what man i've said a million times but the progressives should have been behind trump
Starting point is 01:37:05 what makes you say that that's a little crazy because the democratic party the establishment if they get back in the progressives are done for trump but that would require them to plan ahead a little bit yep well so what happened now for for all of you know basically what i see happening is the progressives didn't like trump but the establishment started handing handing out rocks and they gladly picked the rocks up and threw them at trump as well it's actually like you know did you uh i covered this on my main channel the white house siege thing yeah they're planning a 50-day siege of the white house starting september 17th and why so that the obama administration's you know second in command can take the reins yeah that's what they said they're like you know obviously they want revolution nothing less they
Starting point is 01:37:55 say that but they're going to protest donald trump so that biden can win and then they they they pushed the initial uh article or it was like ad for occupy wall street their complaints were during the obama administration why would they want to empower the obama administration because in in tandem with not being able to look into the future they also can't look into the past and they can't assess the present to figure out what the heck is happening right now and why and what it might have caused it well shall we do super jets we should do super chats and man it's been an exhausting week my friends but uh i assure you we're uh we're we're you know we we had some changes in the show we're going to be kicking things back up and things are going to be a little different we got
Starting point is 01:38:41 some guests coming next week we're going to have more guests and we're going to try and do guests periodically covid is a disaster for basically everybody, us included, but we're gonna read Super Chats for now. And we'll just, you know, I can't read literally every single one, but I'll do my best to read as many as I can. Kevin Nacky says, love the show. Will continue to watch your show and new Adam IRL show. Also looking forward to when you start up news fact ethics checking service. Shout to Lydia doing great even while red. Thank you. It's because
Starting point is 01:39:10 you were wearing the blue sweater. I think it was the blue thing behind me. There's a blue shirt behind me. When I finally took it off, I was like, I wonder if this is it. Yeah, that's right. There's a blue shirt sitting there. Yeah, I think I'm good. Spork Witch says director said outright Starship Troopers is fascist,
Starting point is 01:39:27 that he didn't and wouldn't read it, and made the movie as a propaganda piece to push his own uninformed views on the book. It's a short book, 250 pages, and very easy style to read. Please do read it. That's what I heard. Yeah, I think that's basically what Sargon was saying.
Starting point is 01:39:42 Akrom says, I was literally brought to tears when I heard de Blasio wanted to cancel the 9-11 memorial. It was the day we saw the absolute best of humanity in our first responders and citizens. Great work and spin the UFO for those heroes. Do that now. I don't believe it was Bill de Blasio specifically. My criticism is that de Blasio would unilaterally give himself the power to do whatever he wants
Starting point is 01:40:02 with his campaign message and that we couldn't even pull tax funds and manpower to make sure the memorial happened. Yeah, I was angry. It doesn't describe like the... It was a combination of rage and sadness. Is there a word for that? Rageness. Radness.
Starting point is 01:40:24 No, it's not radness that's sageness sageness that just sounds wise srageoness there you go i was a man listen i remember waking up uh i was like 14 i fell asleep on as best as my ability i remember it i used to sleep on the futon in my living room we had tvs back then they were very large like the back. And I woke up to my mom yelling. A plane had crashed. I'm always very careful to tell the story because it's really hard to remember. But my understanding is that
Starting point is 01:40:54 we witnessed the second plane crash. Oh, wow. And then my mom immediately was like, started crying like, oh my God, we're under attack. We're under attack. Yeah. And I'm sitting there like,
Starting point is 01:41:03 I have no idea what's happening. Yep. My friends were driving to school and chicago has a show man cows morning madhouse and he immediately just broke when he's like this is not a drill a plane has crashed into the world trade center and my friends were telling me the story they were all laughing like this guy's so crazy and like he's like i am not joking this is happening they didn't believe it but everybody in school was like they brought the tvs into the classrooms they turned them on and they were like didn't say anything to turn the news on everybody watched how crazy that there's 20 uh 20 uh just about 20 years ago 19 years ago yeah that we had uh all our schools came together we all watched this it was a you know the support for the president was through the roof.
Starting point is 01:41:45 Yeah. Everybody agreed. And today they can't even turn the lights on. That's amazing. They're hopefully going to do something, though, to be fair, right? Yeah. Gareth Green says, fun fact, before 1800, the state constitution of New Jersey gave the right to vote to all free white property owning people.
Starting point is 01:42:01 So when single property owning white women showed up to register to vote, nothing could be done to stop them. Hey, that's kind of cool. That's funny, yeah. It's too bad New Jersey has kind of become garbage. We've gone downhill since then. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:12 All right. I'll read some more Super Chats. What do we got here? Goofy Foot. Thanks, Tim, for all your hard work being the voice of sanity and a lighthouse of truth.
Starting point is 01:42:20 In the MSM sea of political deception, stay strong and keep skating. 50 years and still rolling. Mr. Goofy Foot, actually actually I'm going to bring this up just for you. Yeah, I am. I am mildly perturbed right now. Tony Hawk put out an Instagram post to honor a man who invented what was called the mute grab, a very basic grab trick in skateboarding. And he wants to rename it partly to honor the skater, but it also kind of makes it sound like it was offensive. So Tony Hawk tweeted this and he said,
Starting point is 01:42:51 for nearly 40 years, we've shamelessly referred to this trick as the mute air or grab. The backstory simply is that Chris Weddle did it. He was deaf. So they called him a mute guy. When he did it, they said he did it first. We'll call it mute. Someone initially wanted to call it tracker air, but others said, because the, you know, that guy did first. We'll call it Mute. Someone initially wanted to call it Tracker Air, but others said because that guy did it, we'll name it after him, the Mute guy. So they called it the Mute Grab. I was born after this, and I started skating well after this. And there are many video games that use the term Mute Grab. So Tony Hawk is now saying in the new video game, they're going to change the name to weddle grab and my issue with it is first and foremost mad respect for trying to honor the guy who invented it for sure
Starting point is 01:43:30 right but it's it's it's strange for me to see somebody in a position of authority like tony hawk is because you got a game coming out try and alter the culture that is you know that millions of people engage in. Like, I got a video game, Skater XL. This game's amazing, by the way. And you do mute grabs in it. Are they going to change every video game? Like, why do this?
Starting point is 01:43:53 I just don't like the idea of someone asserting, you know, I wouldn't do it myself. I don't like it when other people do it. I can understand the reason behind it. I can respect it. But I don't like the absolute authority of someone who's very wealthy in a position of power to be like, you know what, I'm changing the name that everybody uses, all of these people. I hope it catches on. You know what this says to me? What? That Tony Hawk is the self-proclaimed king of the
Starting point is 01:44:18 skateboarders. No, no, no. Much like Peter Griffin. Peter Griffin. I was like, this is so antithetical to everything that skateboarding is about, right? Skateboarding is an oral tradition. It's very difficult for people to write down what things are. And I love it when you try. You can look at skateboarding Wikipedia pages, and it'll say trick names. And there's just dumb names some 10-year-old kid popped in and said, I made this up, and he never did it before. Because there's an endless possibility of things you can do on a skateboard. It's like guys bragging about how big a fish is isn't it you're like it's worse than that it's way worse than i grew up with kids being like yo this is
Starting point is 01:44:52 called like the red dragon this is called the blue dragon and like the red dragon and i'm like dude stop that's not a trick you didn't you land it and we'll talk about it right and then and then another thing they always do is like they'll try and make up a new trick and then just call it after themselves oh my, my gosh. I always hated that. I'm like, you know, I have nothing to do with that. But anyway, I bring it up. It's not the biggest deal in the world.
Starting point is 01:45:12 I was just kind of like. Yeah, we were going to talk about it tonight, though. So absolutely. Kind of. It's just to me, it's an oral tradition. Yeah. When you start skating, people explain to you how things work, what the names are. And I'm also going to tell you this.
Starting point is 01:45:29 While I have you here and I'm complaining about skateboarding um first i'll ask you to hit the like button if you haven't already subscribe notification bell you can follow me on twitter instagram parlor timcast you can follow at sour patch lids as well um there is a such thing as an over a front side overcrowder on a rail i said it i know there's skateboarders who watch this and i know it's going to cause a controversy, but for those that understand this, there is a frontside overcrook on a handrail, and stop trying to claim that an overcrook
Starting point is 01:45:54 is a nose grind simply because you're not good enough to actually do a nose grind. Boom, I said it. And that's like, there's like some top pros who are like, nose grinds just look this way. I said it. It's done. Tim has said it it's done tim has said it yeah tim has declared it i'm i'm so here's what i'm actually saying the joke is i don't believe anyone has the authority to dictate what a trick is or isn't it either is or isn't right and so the simple way to
Starting point is 01:46:16 explain it is that in skateboarding i can actually maybe show you yeah here can you zoom in yeah there you go so what can i what can i use? I'll use this pen. Yeah. A nose grind would simply be the board on the rail straight on the nose. But what people do is they come at it at an angle and they call it a nose grind because they're not good enough to actually balance in the middle. And there are top pros who do this and they argue that it is. And I'm like, no, no, you don't argue that it is. We know what the trick is. You can't just be like, well, I can't do it.
Starting point is 01:46:42 So I'm going to call what I do it. And no, no, no, no, no, no. We're not doing that. well, I can't do it. So I'm going to call what I do it. And no, no, no, no, no, no. We're not doing that. Yeah, I don't like that. Anyway, back to the super chats. Now that I've wasted your time with some more esoteric skateboarding talk. Gordon Hawkins says, I miss Adam, but this is a good live stream. If you haven't listened to it, the whole mess feels like the stage by A7X from 2016.
Starting point is 01:47:00 The whole mess? I don't know. I've got to look it up. Richard Baranowski says, The city doesn't deserve a better tomorrow. It deserves to drown in its filth. Wilson Fisk, NYC. Oh, that's the kingpin, right?
Starting point is 01:47:15 The bad guy from Spider-Man. Yeah, that sounds right. Zool says, John Titor might not have been right, but if you know anything about Nostradamus, a 15th century astrologer, he had predicted the rise of Napoleon and Hitler, both world wars and 9-11, maybe suggest to Adam to do a deep dive.
Starting point is 01:47:30 That'd be cool. I don't know if Nostradamus really did that. There's some really interesting parallels, but I think it's the challenge is how much did he predict that wasn't true? So I have a theory. Oh, yeah? What if people, these people, actually can see the future, right? But the future is not woven yet. Here's how I look at, I imagine time, if I were to simplify it, where we are with timelines and futures
Starting point is 01:47:57 and variables would be that where we are right now is where the braid is being made. And in front of us are all the different threads in random directions. And we're braiding it in certain ways and bringing all these different variables into alignment. Tapestry of history. Right. So if you could see the future, you wouldn't see a straight line because it's not been woven yet.
Starting point is 01:48:20 You'd see all the crazy variables. And if you wrote every single one of them down you'd find the one thread we used for this tapestry but you'd also write down all of the wrong ones too this is amazing to me because you just described the plot from one of terry pratchett's book that he wrote with neil gaiman oh yeah it's about a book of prophecies that this that this lady wrote and everyone thought she was crazy and it's been handed down through the family everyone makes their notes they're like you know i think this is actually this and it turns out there's like flying motorcycles and flying fish and it's the end that actually is the end of the world and
Starting point is 01:48:52 nothing is anything like anyone predicted but it was because she was seeing things then that she thought were like you know something totally different and she used the explanation that she had available in the 1600s and then in you know the 2000s totally different so And she used the explanation that she had available in the 1600s. And then in, you know, the 2000s, totally different. So that is a really fun theory. I like that. There's an image of firefighters flying. It's a drawing from like the 1900s, like early, early 1900s. And they were like their vision of the future. And one of them was, you know, firefighters with wings fighting fires. Like, why don't we get that future? That would've been cool. You know, I got to gotta say it i know people love to romanticize the past but when i saw this story about the blockbuster in bend oregon so for those that don't know the they're they converted
Starting point is 01:49:35 a they created a 90s living room and there's a vcr and vhs it's the last the last blockbuster and you can airbnb it and come and have a 90s movie night. I thought about how amazing a business idea that would be. And I'd love to actually figure out how to do that where you have like a big building and it's an Airbnb with like four time periods. How cool would it be if you were like, I'd like to rent the 90s room for the night. And you'd go in, everything's from the 90s. You turn the TV on and it's playing TV from the 90s. You open the fridge and there's snacks. And everything's 90s. It'd be probably hard to do, but it would 90s. You turn the TV on and it's playing TV from the 90s. You open the fridge and there's snacks. And everything's 90s.
Starting point is 01:50:06 It would be probably hard to do, but it would be cool. And all the technology is and just like to exist in this bubble. But when I saw this, I thought that that'd be a great business idea. So by all means, steal it so I can rent one of those rooms.
Starting point is 01:50:17 That'd be awesome. Like to live, like to actually recreate a 70s living room. That'd be so fun. I wasn't alive in the 70s. But what I realized was, you know what, man? There is something good about the era before social media. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:32 Cell phones, technology is fine. But I thought back to like, I was thinking back to being a kid and not knowing where my friends were. And there was something, it was so much more fun not knowing. It reminds me of Dr. Manhattan in the Watchmen series. Are you familiar with that at all? I'm familiar, kind of. He can see the future.
Starting point is 01:50:49 He can see everything. And so one of the lines in it is that when he's fighting the bad guy, the bad guy uses tachyon interference so that he can't see the future. And he's like, I almost forgot the thrill of not knowing something. Yeah. And I'm like, it's kind of where we are right now. It's exactly where we are. Where it's like we know where everyone is all the time in fact you can get an app i remember the
Starting point is 01:51:07 first time this came out where you could see your friend on a map that was so weird they were like dude i'm on this app and you can like see where i'm at i'm like whoa that's great the mystery is gone yeah remember when do you remember when cell phones had radios that brief period where like someone would have a cell phone but they'd walk, they'd pick someone's, you know, name and then just press the button and go, yo, what up? No, that's awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:28 Where was I for that? I don't know. It was like Boost Mobile but all the drug dealers were using it. That's funny. Skulldrummer34 says, hey Tim,
Starting point is 01:51:35 I love watching your vids. You're one of the only realist media sources out there. I especially love when you say harumph I say. I won't be able to watch while I'm in boot camp for a few months. Keep up the good work. Appreciate it, man. Good luck, dudeumph, I say. I won't be able to watch while I'm in boot camp for a few months.
Starting point is 01:51:45 Keep up the good work. Appreciate it, man. Good luck, dude. That's tough. Let's see. What is this one? Whirlaby Scott says, our original time was without Christ. Our secondary time was with Christ.
Starting point is 01:51:55 Do you know what that means? No, I'm not familiar with this expression. Truist Vijek says, love you guys. Lids, you're doing great. Any chance we can get a jam session tonight? Tim and maybe even Lydia can play a song. Anyway, keep up the great work. Spin the UFO, Lids.
Starting point is 01:52:10 I do not believe we'll be doing a jam session. I do not play any instruments and I only sing in the shower. You're spinning the UFO the other way. I'm changing the direction because this person posed a question. Right. I liked it. Let's go. I always try to make sure that we get some of the early super chat so you guys don't get missed out.
Starting point is 01:52:24 So I don't disappear. Not. It's going to disappear. Notto A says, Tim, did you hear about Millie Weaver getting arrested today? I did mention this. And Matthew Hammond then came in right away and said, another super chat, Millie Weaver of Infowars and her husband were arrested for burglary on the eve of the release of her documentary on people funding the riots and Russian hoax. Same way they went after James O'Keefe. I don't know anything other than she
Starting point is 01:52:45 got arrested. I'm not familiar with her work. Yeah. I know that she follows me on Twitter. I don't follow InfoWars. I'm not a big fan of InfoWars. Yeah. But I'm not going to say anything about people I don't know other than I watched the video of her getting arrested and it's weird. That timing is weird. I don't know about that. that timing's weird but uh i think the best we can do is just make sure everybody knows yeah because if it is something nefarious then everyone knows yeah like they know she got arrested and they know you know she's got to go fund me and stuff like that perfect um but i'll be honest man sometimes people get indicted for things i do think it's really weird because like what did they burgle? They broke into someone's house
Starting point is 01:53:25 or something or building? Yeah, I'd want a lot more detail. Yeah, it's weird. I really don't know. If a grand jury did it, man, they're, I think we need to get to a point
Starting point is 01:53:34 where we have a really good system with English common law, presumption of innocence. I think we can build upon this and do better with technology. You know? We sure could. Or they could just use us,
Starting point is 01:53:48 use it to keep track of all our faces and just the pre-crime up yep just like every crime pre-crime hannah florian says tim thank you for being willing to challenge the popular narrative that's something few people seem interested in doing these days appreciate it king canuck says say with drama but if c CNN is fake news and Fox is fake news and you're fake news, then who the hell's flying this narrative? Hope you're having a good night, both of you. Keep up the whatever you do. We will. Matthew Emmond says, was the original intent of Timcast IRL that you would interview people
Starting point is 01:54:18 one-on-one and Lydia would feed you info and manage sound and video? For the most part, yes. Yeah, pretty much. And we've talked about it. Because of COVID, we couldn't. We couldn't book any guests yeah but no actually actually i'm sorry the real the original version of tim catt's arrow was supposed to be a vlog in a van yeah so i built the van and i said this over and over and the intent was i would do my normal shows in the van and then once i finished we'd be in some random place and then i would do a vlog on the ground so we could actually do field reporting, meet with locals and random average Joes.
Starting point is 01:54:49 Impossible to do. Yeah. With that van, you would need like a full bus. I would need like a tour bus to be able to pull that off because you need two or three people, people who can drive, you know, I have to be able to stop to do my normal recordings. Then we need to organize and set up interviews with people. I think it would be an amazing show. Like imagine just pulling up into literally the middle of nowhere, Oklahoma on the panhandle
Starting point is 01:55:11 and then just showing up and there's like a town of 500 people and there's like some dude and he's like, I would love to talk to you about how I feel about what's going on. We totally did that on the way back from California. Remember we stopped? Yeah, we talked to this lady in the gas station. I was like, where the heck is Tim? And I went back in. That was in Arizona.
Starting point is 01:55:27 Yeah. And she was straight up like, we're not concerned about any of this at all. We're all preppers. We got nothing to worry about. This lady told me this hilarious story. She's like, my husband looks over at me and he says, man, should we go buy toilet paper?
Starting point is 01:55:39 And she's like, I looked at him and I laughed. And I was like, we got three months in the cupboard over there. She's like, we're preppers. And I was like, that's a great story. It's hilarious. I looked at him and I laughed. And I was like, we got three months in the cupboard over there. She's like, we're preppers. And I was like, that's a great story. It's hilarious. I love that story. Yeah, we only ever hear from city folk.
Starting point is 01:55:50 Right. Big city people with big cameras. And it's really difficult to go to the middle of nowhere. Well, it turns out if you just stop at a gas station and ask a lady what she thinks, she will tell you what she thinks. Then you get a really interesting story. I love that. That was a lot of fun, that trip.
Starting point is 01:56:03 So anyway, that was the original idea. Then I was like, basically, we should have more guests on. And we did. We initially had several and then COVID just stopped everything. And then all of a sudden, so the goal of the show is to do basically what we already do with news segments. We have stories. But here's the way I see it. I'm interested in what some other people think about news stories where they might not be experts the political explore the political opinions of you know uh certain experts yeah not necessarily on what they're an expert on yes we get like a biologist take on what's happening in i don't know somewhere like overseas or something or greta thunberg yeah you're a biologist man you deal with like all the stuff like we see this lady saying how dare you right well what would be the impact of what she's
Starting point is 01:56:44 saying but it's also average people yeah like i really i really would love to find regular people like all this stuff, like we see this lady saying, how dare you? Right. Well, what would be the impact of what she's saying? But it's also average people. Yeah. Like I really, I really would love to find regular people who, you know, who are just like, here's what's going on in my industry. I'm not going to expect them to know about, you know, who voted for what and who's elected to where. But it would be amazing to actually sit down with someone and say, you know, Donald Trump is doing this executive order.
Starting point is 01:57:03 Right. What's going on with your paycheck? And then have like a plumber or, you know, an office worker or someone just be like, my my friends, here's what we're seeing because we don't get it. And I wonder I wonder why we don't get it, because it's you get more clicks when you when you stick a name on something. We like celebrity. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:20 So I never. So ultimately, the show will never have someone's name. It'll never be like Timcast IRL with this person ideally we may have done in the past the goal is to be like you know timcast irl dash and then news yeah and then we'll be sitting down with someone who's like a regular person or certain experts in certain areas and just generally have people to hang out with and talk we'll see how that we'll see what what ends up happening yeah we're gonna just whatever happens be cool all right let's see what we what ends up happening. We're going to just hang out. Whatever happens, be cool. All right, let's see what we got in the super chat.
Starting point is 01:57:47 Nate says, would it be possible to address the Adam thing? If you have, and I missed it, point me to it. Y'all seem to gel. All of a sudden, a bunch of Tim and Adam theory vids popped up in my feed.
Starting point is 01:57:56 And in the chat, I'm seeing all kinds of crazy. It's people have a right to privacy, man. So I'm not trying to be mean. And I know everybody wants to know everything all the time. But I think I respect, you know, I work in journalism. I have sources.
Starting point is 01:58:11 There's a certain point where you don't reveal people's private information. And it's just really about we as people and the things we do. Just sorry. You know what I mean? Like, I'm sure if you, you know, did something with your family, you'd be like, it's nobody's business. The challenge for us is that we're on a show. So it's like, you know, everybody wants to know the nitty gritty details of everything. And I think people just have a right to privacy.
Starting point is 01:58:35 You know, we're ultimately the goal is to make sure that everybody is doing things that are successful and everything is literally successful. So Adam's got his show he's setting up and it's AdamCastIRL on YouTube. But I think he's going to, I don't know if he's changing the name, but, you know, we'll be shouting him out. He's, his channel is still on the channel and everything. And we're going to make sure that his show becomes massive. And he does really, really well because he's a good dude.
Starting point is 01:58:58 He's a great dude and he's good at what he does. All right, let's see where we're at. Christy Goddard says, I want to see Biden in front of a congressional hearing regarding Russiagate like Barr had to sit through. Not for the truth. Well, not for the truth. We'll never hear. But for the pure entertainment value, that's fair. He wouldn't be able to answer properly. And then they'd accuse him of perjury because he spoke improperly. Yeah, right. No, they said the wrong word. They totally would. Yeah. Silver Bowl Steve says, Hey, right. No, they totally would. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:29 Silver Bull Steve says, Hey, Tim and Lydia, Tim, for your jam session, would you consider making a parody of Jamie's got a gun? It could be Tim's got a gun. Keep it the great work. We're going to we're going to we're going to figure out what's going on with the format and everything. To be honest, we were supposed to close on a deal two days ago for the new space, for the new companies, for the new ethics and everything like the fact checking site and all that stuff. And it's supposed to be two days ago for the new space for the new companies for the new ethics and everything like the the fact checking site and all that stuff and it's supposed to be two days ago
Starting point is 01:59:49 and we've been stuck in purgatory because of covid so this has been very troublesome and but the ultimate goal is going to be like a full a real set design i mean we have this it's it's it's it's cool it's fancy but it's a little makeshift and i've i'm actually talking with some companies about legit construction and design and expansion and we want to have like a legit music area and i actually want to have music musical guests there are a lot of musicians that are very well known some of them quite outspoken now on social media that you'd think are like far left but they're actually you, you know, whatever it is, we are liberal.
Starting point is 02:00:26 I mean, you're conservative. I don't know. You know, I don't know what I am because I keep taking these different tests and they keep giving me different things. What do they tell you you are? Well, they tell me I'm like libertarian. They tell me I'm traditional conservative and I feel pretty stodgy sometimes. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:00:41 Whatever we are. I get liberal on most things. It's, you know, I did the Hidden Tribes test. It says traditional liberal. Yeah. The Moral Foundation said I was conservative. Yeah, like what? I never knew.
Starting point is 02:00:52 I thought that was interesting. Yeah. Because it, you know, even a few months ago, it said I was left liberal. I was like, I wonder what my opinion changed on. I think it actually became more pronounced. Not that my opinions have changed, just I'm more sure of myself. Yeah, I think that kind of happens as you get older, too. But the Moral Foundations thing is interesting because you can be a liberal with strong moral Not that my opinions have changed, just I'm more sure of myself. Yeah, I think that kind of happens as you get older, too.
Starting point is 02:01:09 But the moral foundations thing is interesting because you can be a liberal with strong moral foundations. It's just that almost all liberals only have two of six. Yeah, which seems mildly unbalanced. Yeah. BP, thanks for that super chat. Let's see. Jeremy Smith says, check out Millie's shadow gate on YouTube just dropped today. It's why I left the military under Obama administration.
Starting point is 02:01:26 It literally why we voted DJT and why so much fake news. Interesting. And she just got arrested. See Jung the Great says, full stop. Millie Weaver dropped the doc. She did it as soon as she was notified of her arrest, probably an early edit. It's a doc that tells of a shadow government program
Starting point is 02:01:41 of using contractor intel agents to attack political enemies. Creepy. Interesting. I mean, doc that tells of a shadow government program of using contractor intel agents to attack political enemies creepy interesting i mean if i i i i'm not a conspiracy guy but i definitely think there are people who you know work in concert and and conspire in certain ways i don't think people are well organized enough to have any real kind of conspiracy but i do think i mean there's there's that guy in that jail you know what i mean i do know that one thing that one guy poor guy what what yeah you know whatever what there was a guy in a jail and uh he's no longer with us yeah i don't know. Yeah. Let's see. Seth Adam Smith says,
Starting point is 02:02:30 Has anyone else noticed how eerily similar our current situation is to Dark Knight Rises? Quarantine city, taking down the economy, a war against cops, and a billionaire playboy. I nominate Tim for Commissioner Gordon. No, man. No, man. Let's see. Vash Specter says, Thank you for all the honesty you give us. As a truck driver, tons of u-hauls with luxury cars in tow on i-40 leaving cali and messages from my company and
Starting point is 02:02:51 others truckers to avoid i-90 95 due to black lives matter protests or don't stop if you do hit somebody call 9-1-1 i saw that yeah i've seen that too yeah one of my friends is a trucker and he's like this is something that i saw go by. You don't stop. You might slow down if you think that's the right thing to do. This is not a direct quote. I'm paraphrasing here. But yeah, that is the going wisdom is to not stop. Eric Anderson says, you're right.
Starting point is 02:03:17 This year has started more speculation than I've ever seen. You talked about conspiracy theories. Have you read about the Great Reset yet? If you want some good entertainment and and get you thinking what is the great reset you know that is i think it's a book and i think we have it we have so many we have so many books i'm really excited for when we finally get to the new space i have a headache over all of this listen let me let me let me tell you guys something we're two days past when we're supposed to have closed. We're all crammed in a
Starting point is 02:03:45 space. The time keeps on ticking. It's crazy in the media, but relentless lies. It's all relatively stressful. But we have a bunch of books and I'm very excited for this new space where we're actually going to have big bookshelves and all of the books you guys send us. If you go to timcast.com slash donate, there is a P.O. box. You can mail whatever and people mail us crazy stuff. But feel free to, you know, whatever. We got a bunch of books. We got so many books. Some of them are nuts.
Starting point is 02:04:14 I love it. Yeah, it's great. I especially love the crazy books because I really oppose book burning. And I think the crazy books are the fun ones. It occurs to me that when the book burning happens, and I'm not saying if anymore, we're going to have all the craziest books. And I credit all of you guys. And I love it.
Starting point is 02:04:30 And I'm so glad we have all of them. We'll have like the last copies of these books. Here's another one from a trucker. Grim Pickens says, I'm a trucker. I've been back and forth East Coast to West Coast, and I don't see any Biden stuff aside from the rare sticker. Trump, though, is everywhere, even in California, everywhere. Keep up the good work.
Starting point is 02:04:47 Nice to see Lids voicing her opinion more. Well, she's literally doing that. Yes, I am. It's great. So you know what would make me feel good? A 49-state landslide for Donald Trump. That would feel very good. You know why?
Starting point is 02:05:01 Why? It's nothing to do with Trump. It's everything to do with the American people coming together and being unified and an end to the political division. I guess theoretically, you could have that with Biden. But I don't believe that the Democrats are unified. Oh, they're not. Right.
Starting point is 02:05:16 So the Democrats right now, you get the far left, you get the moderates, and they hate each other. There's no way to bridge that gap. And I think they thought Kamala would do that. You called her Kamala earlier? Again,'m sorry they called they called they did a whole thing at cnn on like and he got yelled at and he was like he did the brow thing he's like what and they were like the guy on the show was like it's kamala and he was like okay and they ran with that like are you talking to me about this anyway oh, I totally cut you off.
Starting point is 02:05:45 No, you're good. It makes perfect sense. Kamala, I think they thought she would bridge that gap and she is not going to do that. No, I saw a comment. It was really funny. On Facebook, somebody said something like, I won't vote for Biden, but let's be real. It's easier to overthrow a milquetoast moderate than it is a fascist dictator. And I started laughing. And I'm like, what if that's the reason the far left really wants Biden?
Starting point is 02:06:08 Because Trump is right. Biden's America will be chaos and riots in the street because they know he won't do anything to stop them. Yeah. Think about this. Portland is still going on. The feds were sent in to secure the courthouse. Donald Trump was like, we're shutting it down.
Starting point is 02:06:25 No, no, no ifs,, we're shutting it down. No, no, no ifs, ands, or buts. And they all started crying. Actually, it reminds me of Seamus Freedom Tunes video where the far left, they're all crying. It's hilarious. It's amazing. And then as soon as the guy puts his gun down, they go, get him. And they beat him up. Yeah. Trump said, no dice. The feds are there. We will not back down. The DHS, we will not back down. The state said said how about we have our police come in and help de-escalate they said fine the state police today bailed out they were like we can't do this you're not prosecuting people we are done because the riots kept happening yeah what's the point so what do you think happens when if biden wins do you think
Starting point is 02:07:02 all of a sudden he's going to be like, it's time to listen, look fat. We're going to crack down. Send out these law enforcement officers. These things. Or is he going to be like, look fat. People are peacefully protesting.
Starting point is 02:07:15 Those are firebombs of peace. I'm kidding. But I think what will end up happening is Joe Biden, like all the Democrats, will just be like, it's like you got a kid in the candy store screaming, I want the Sour Patch Kids. And the mom's like, okay, honey, will just be like, it's like you got you got a kid in the candy store screaming.
Starting point is 02:07:25 I want the Sour Patch Kids. And the mom's like, OK, honey, if I will you be quiet? Oh, he's yelling at me. And like instead of being like to shut your mouth, stop yelling in public and telling the kid what to do. The Democrats are like, whatever you say, dear, while they're screaming and have a temper tantrum at the federal level. Donald Trump is saying law enforcement. The Democrats at the state and city level are doing nothing yep and it shows what what where was it was it utah where they were like we are not seattle or something yeah uh no it was oh wasn't it oklahoma city was it i don't think yeah yeah they were like we are not it was tulsa was it tulsa yep this is not seattle and
Starting point is 02:08:01 they like arrested everybody like salted the earth is great. Yep. Yep. All right. We'll read a couple more and then we're getting ready to wrap up. Oh, man. Yeah. Let's see.
Starting point is 02:08:11 What is this? Will Rushing says, did you hear about the military using UFO tech for new equipment? Just recently dropped hard to find details. Just recently dropped hard to find details. Interesting. Oh, cool. Let's see. Connor Astron says, can you put a list of
Starting point is 02:08:26 all the books you have that's actually a really good idea yeah we'll have to put it together we have a massive amount of books we do and uh once we get a big shelf i think we will do like a high res photo and then catalog them as we you know as we pack them to move we can do that too yeah we can catalog we like we get some crazy ones someone sent me like a mat i get manifestos all the time yep like it's wow it's like i'll get a packet and i'll be like it's a manifesto manifesto and it's like somebody will type up 100 plus pages i'm really impressed by the amount of work they put into it i don't have any time to read someone's like personal 100 page you know thing so i i you know i don't try to i'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything much respect for that yeah following through on that that's amazing white balance on the camera yeah
Starting point is 02:09:09 yeah no no blue shirts on the back of chairs turned out it turned her into a turned lady into a tomato i can't tomato frankly okay everybody yes we are uh it is past 10 um no jam session um we're gonna we're gonna figure out how, you know, pushing things up and getting things in gear. And we're going to hang out and do live shows. And that's just what we're going to do. So thanks for hanging out. We'll be back Monday. Of course, we'll have clips up of the show today, tomorrow.
Starting point is 02:09:36 Yep. Monday, we will be back. And of course, I do all my morning segments. So for those that don't know this, I think most of you do.
