Starting point is 00:00:00 Federal prosecutors are considering whether or not they can charge many of the people involved in the riot at the Capitol with felony murder. And it's just one of the stories that's coming out showing the reaction to those who stormed the Capitol. The logic here is that if you are part of a group that is in the process of committing a crime and someone dies, then you get charged with felony murder. In this regard, they're saying not everybody, but a large portion of the people who were there, who were part of that melee, who are breaking in, may all actually face those charges. And that will be probably hundreds of people. We've seen similar things, kind of, in 2017, on January 20th, when Trump was being inaugurated, several hundred Antifa types and, you know, wearing all black got arrested and they tried charging them all with conspiracy under the idea that by wearing black, they were aiding and abetting the other people
Starting point is 00:00:55 who are committing crimes. It did not fly. So this might not either, and they might not even do it. But this is the only thing that's happening to Trump supporters following what happened at the Capitol. Parler, as you know, was shut down. They're now fighting back, filing a lawsuit against Amazon. And this is really interesting because the lawsuit makes some really interesting points.
Starting point is 00:01:12 At the same time, Amazon was claiming Parler wasn't policing this criminal activity, which was people inciting violence and calling for death and things like that. They say Parler wasn't doing that. So we're going to terminate you without notice, breaching the contract, according to Parler. And they said at the same time, hang Mike Pence was trending on Twitter and there was no application or threats or removal from Twitter for the same thing. And they note recently Amazon signed a multi-year contract with Twitter to handle their data. So this looks more like anti-competitive action from a cabal of Silicon Valley elites.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Considering Parler was the fastest growing network, the number one app on the iTunes store seems particularly, well, it seems like they may be right. Well, we got another story too. There's video going around of a guy getting kicked off a plane. Apparently, many of these people at the Capitol were put on a no-fly list. So things are getting particularly crazy. We've got Facebook censorship hitting. We've got cumulus radio telling many conservatives that if you say the election was stolen, they're going to nuke you outright.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Here it comes, man. The purge is going to be long-lasting. There's talks of widespread armed protests around the country through the next several days, maybe a couple weeks, and into the 20th. So we got a lot to talk about. Hanging out with us today is, of course, Andrew from Don't Walk, Run Productions. Howdy. Now, you're the senior political analyst. Yes, the senior political analyst on my channel and the number one senior political analyst
Starting point is 00:02:41 on YouTube. So you didn't quite make chief. No, I'm a humble guy. I'm humble. You know, I don't need to be called president or CEO or Tim Pool. You know, I don't need to. Heaven forbid I use my name on my own show. Luke's hanging out.
Starting point is 00:03:03 And they went after Ron Paul my goodness I got a lot to say about that hi I am the sensei behind wearechange.org and it's been really nice communicating to everyone on that top right hand corner when people put in their emails in this slew
Starting point is 00:03:19 of all this censorship that's going on wearechange.org top right hand corner nice talking to all of you amazing people I need to stress too the, yeah, the Ron Paul thing. How dare they? Seriously. The weirdest thing is the people on Reddit ragging on Ron Paul. And I'm like, what? He's like an old man who's like, freedom!
Starting point is 00:03:34 He's calling for peace in the Middle East, and he criticized Donald Trump more than, I think, a lot of people on the left effectively. It's because they have no—I'm sure there's a lot of people who are like, I guesson paul's bad uh there's a lot we got to talk about i know why people are just going crazy calling people misogynists white supremacists for calling you that and a lot of other people and a lot of other kind of libertarians anti-establishment and cap types who are like wait wait wait hold on this is not about maga ron paul was against uh the larger foreign policy of Donald Trump. He criticized him on so many police state issues. And now he's a part of the clan that, you know, the groupthink mentality
Starting point is 00:04:11 saying he's it. He's a part of the MAGA crowd. Gotta take him out. Sorry. We have one more important person. We have two more important people to introduce as well. So we got Ian. Ian has two gorillas. I do have two gorillas. Gorilla one and gorilla two. So the gorilla shirt, it's on the it's on the store but it's not youtube hasn't approved it i guess i don't know how that works
Starting point is 00:04:28 but there's a there's we're making another one we've and we might have a limited edition one where it's the same shirt but he's wearing a tinfoil hat okay so that would be like a bonus maybe maybe like an exclusive purchase we'll sign it or something so well what's going on ian you know not much i have actively not been engaged much in the in the news media today except for watching that guy at the airport get get told he was on a no-fly list i mean once you hear the the pain in the individual's voice i think is when it really for me is when it really hits home what what what we could end up doing to these people inadvertently and all of our all of us inadvertently if somebody committed a crime like that dude who you know the people who are attacking the cops and like literally killed the guy
Starting point is 00:05:08 those people go to jail of course i think so yeah but there's there's a lot of people who are being falsely accused they're just because they're they're near there and their photos were there in the new york times we had richie on the show and the new york times put up a caption saying he was a writer who punched the glass when he was actually just like my phone it fell he's a journalist and and with elijah that's crazy stuff so we'll talk about all this don't forget sour patch lids over here pressing i am over here in the corner pushing buttons ladies and gentlemen we once again have a sponsor i'm eternally grateful because in these trying times when people are getting nuked and banned and we have no idea what's going to happen it's more important

Let's let over to the first story, the story about prosecutors. This is from WTOP News. This is a local D.C. Prosecutors weigh heavy hammer felony murder for rioters in Capitol officers death. They say as federal prosecutors file charges against rioters who took part in last Wednesday's
Starting point is 00:08:02 violent takeover of the U.S. Capitol, investigators continue to gather evidence in the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died from injuries sustained during the attack. While most murder investigations focus on the person or persons who caused the fatal injury, former federal prosecutor Tim Heafey said prosecutors could charge many rioters with felony murder, even if they were nowhere near Sicknick. Heafy led the months-long investigation into law enforcement performance before, during, and after the deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville. Heafy was in the U.S. Attorney for Western District of Virginia from December 2009 through January 2015, appointed by Obama. Under the doctrine of felony murder, which applies in the District of Columbia, any murder that occurs during the commission of one of several underlying felonies is chargeable as felony murder, saying, quote,
Starting point is 00:08:50 The classic example is if three guys go to rob a convenience store and one guy is the getaway driver. If in the commission of the robbery the clerk was shot and killed, all three of the participants in the robbery of the store are potentially guilty of felony murder. On January 6th, as most of you know, there was a raucous event at the Capitol. Some call it an insurrection. Some call it a riot. Some call it storming. They say in the federal murder code, 11 underlying felonies, which can be part of a felony murder charge, are listed.
Starting point is 00:09:17 One which could be applicable to the January 6th takeover is burglary. Quote, you could look at the storming of the doors of the Capitol by that riotous mob as burglary. If they went in with the intent to steal, disrupt proceedings, to commit other offenses, they committed burglary. And therefore, a murder that occurred during the course of a burglary could be potentially charged as felony murder. The mere act of breaking into the Capitol doesn't constitute burglary.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Prosecutors would need to prove that they intended to do something criminal once they were inside. Let's say somebody storms the Capitol with the intent to disrupt Congress or steal the sign outside of Speaker Pelosi's door, and there's a murder that occurs in the midst of that. He could be charged with felony murder. As with any crime, federal or state, prosecutors have to weigh whether charges can be sustained in court. They say in this case, with crimes committed on federal property and in the death of a federal employee, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, which prosecutes cases in both federal and local courts, would have the felony murder count at its disposal. So I'll say this.
Starting point is 00:10:15 It wasn't just the officer who died. It was Ashley Babbitt. I think if they go this route, and they could, I'm not entirely sure they will. They could actually charge these people, maybe even every single person who went in the building with the death of Ashley Babbitt because a death occurred in the commission of a crime. There's a lot of things that are crazy about this. There have been photos popping up of random people who are like, well, I mean, most people, I guess, were kind of random in a sense.
Starting point is 00:10:41 But some people who weren't even in the building, people are doxing them and saying they were there. That's enough. That's all that matters. Some people who weren't in the building at all. And in the case of The New York Times, we just mentioned this. Richie McGinnis, who's been on the show several times, who's a journalist. He's actually the journalist who tried to save the life of the man who was shot in Kenosha,
Starting point is 00:10:58 Wisconsin earlier this year. He's up against a window pointing down. And The New York Times ran a caption saying that he was a rioter who punched the glass when they wouldn't let him in, which is just not true. He dropped his phone and he was trying to ask someone to pick it up for him. So this is where things get weird. If they actually I guess the question is, are they going to go after all of the Trump supporters with an iron fist?
Starting point is 00:11:21 When you look at Black Lives Matter and how the district attorneys were releasing these people and not charging them there's a question of whether or not they're going to be biased against conservatives and just run them through the you know run them over the coals throw the book at them or are they going to be worried about you know potentially setting off some kind of political spark by going for trump supporters in this way um i think a couple things one this whole felony murder thing is an overreach in in the worst way because when you talk about three or four people robbing a convenience store it's all coordinated it's all planned they they are in cahoots with each other all the people that stormed the capital, they didn't know each other. Were they on, were they all on parlor and saying,
Starting point is 00:12:08 Hey, we're going to do this particular thing. They didn't even know it. These people didn't even know each other. So you can't say that, or, or the person that, that shot David Dorn, do you go,
Starting point is 00:12:18 well, everybody who was committed, who was part of the riot is complicit. You can't say that. That's the question of bias. All right. Well, here, here, they wouldn't do that for the riots and black with black eyes matter. Would they do it here? riot, is complicit. You can't say that. That's the question of bias. All right. Well, here's – They wouldn't do that for the riots with Black Lives Matter.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Would they do it here? Well, that's different. It's a different story too because you're talking about district attorneys on a local level, on a state level. Now, since this happened on federal property, you're talking about the DOJ and the incoming DOJ and the up the incoming DOJ. So you're probably not going to see your it's all this talk about charges, but you're not going to see anything really come about until after Biden is not exactly unless unless Trump comes out and just sweeping pardons everybody. I actually made a joke on my Twitter about that. I think it's gonna happen. No, it won't. But well, yeah, because Trump doesn't have anybody, well, but it could be.
Starting point is 00:13:05 But that would be that would be kind of a bold move, wouldn't you say? Well, another thing to really kind of understand here, I remember seeing someone post and saying, well, it's good to see that the FBI could be effective when they want to be. And we have to admit the FBI has been pulling out all the stops. There's videos of them of showing up at people's homes, stopping people at airports. They're putting up signs on bus stops. So they're doing everything in their power and utilizing all of their power in an extensive way, which seems like they're activated in a way that they weren't before. And if we're going to look at responsibility, I mean, there's already some investigations going around the Capitol Police. There's some officers suspended. But wasn't there six requests that were denied for extra police assistance by the mayor's office?
Starting point is 00:13:50 No, not by the mayor's office. Who's this? It was by Capitol Police. By the Capitol Police. Six times they got denied. The mayor, this is really interesting, Muriel Bowser was, according to the New York Times, concerned about having an excessive police presence following a summer of riots and the criticism of over policing. She was like, I don't want it. We want limited, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:10 National Guard just guiding traffic and some police. And so she said a narrow unarmed mission. That's crazy. Six times they asked, they said, we need more police for this. And they're like, nah, well, see, that's that's the thing. When you read Twitter, and everybody goes, didn't you see this coming? We saw this coming. We all saw it coming. You're like, well, the mayor didn't. The black mayor of Washington, D.C. didn't.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Well, so she didn't. She put out a statement on the fifth saying, like, I'll make it clear I am not requesting a strong police presence. Right. It's the it's the aftermath of saying defund the police, man. The politicians get scared. And they're like, all right, all right, let's hold back because we don't want. Like, think about it. After painting Black Lives Matter in the street, renaming the plaza, and then saying, I want a battalion of jackboots marching through the streets, locking everything down.
Starting point is 00:14:58 She would get roasted by the left. So she's like, nope, nope. And now she's going to get roasted by the left no matter what. But she was already being roasted by the left when she went out of her way. She made sure that the street said Black Lives Matter. There was another argument because they wanted more. She didn't want to give it to them. But we have to understand.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Somebody put defund the police next to it. And then they washed it off. And then some people were being charged with hate crimes for putting out similar messages but in a different kind of political understanding. But another thing to really kind of, we really kind of really think here, along the lines of everything that's unfolding, we have to understand this is extremely political. When we have someone in a prosecutor's office, when we have someone appointed as Attorney General,
Starting point is 00:15:41 and we have George Soros giving them millions of dollars. There's a reason he's investing so much money, because you not only get political favors, but you're able to kind of sweep the landscape of our society in ways that laws can't. Because when you choose how to enforce laws, and this is the selective enforcement of it to the highest degree, when you see it done this way, it is awestunning to see what they could get away with. You know, it's funny uh shuon had posted his tweet where she was like it's a screenshot of parlor being removed and she said rightos this is what bezos has taken from you let's redistribute his wealth as as like revenge or whatever and i just thought it was really funny and i'm like i'm okay
Starting point is 00:16:20 with this i look i'm not really okay with the idea of like seizing the wealth of everybody and just spreading it around. There's a problem with corporate power and government power when it exceeds certain levels. But when you have someone like Bezos, who has so much money, and Mackenzie Bezos, specifically putting billions of dollars into left wing political causes, it's creating instability. So there's certainly something to complain about there. But I think it's funny you bring up, you know, the influence people get when they buy politicians, which they basically do. And there's really like, I don't know if there's a way we actually stop that process. But there is, I think, a left and the right, like left and the right could come together on this and be like, yo, these people are subverting our institutions. and that's a problem. Well, you'll also – speaking of Parler, you'll also never guess. The Washington Post put out – the editorial board put out an opinion piece about Parler. You'll never guess what their opinion was. It's a good thing it was made.
Starting point is 00:17:17 It was a good thing. Yeah. It was a good thing. Our boss did the right thing basically. Yeah, right, right, right. We're seeing a lot of – Because Amazon bit Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Democracy dies in darkness.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Well, we're seeing a lot of flip-flopping. Let's be honest here. We're seeing a lot of people flip from their original ideas of defunding to police to now the police are great. And Ashley... I love it. And there's even some individuals arguing that Ashley Babbitt deserved it. That's the left.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Those people are sick. Yes. And when you're making arguments like that after having months of protest against the police and now you're supporting the police, you really have to start asking yourself what's going on here. And these flip-flops happen
Starting point is 00:17:54 not just within the left, they happen within the right in some instances. But right now we are seeing this kind of shifting of basic kind of virtues overnight because of political power, because of wanting your side to win, because of gang affiliation, which is more important than the truth to many people. Let me say something. George Floyd should not have died. Breonna Taylor should not have died. Ashley Babbitt should not have died.
Starting point is 00:18:19 It is a tragedy when any person loses their life. You know, I was saying it earlier. I don't care if you committed a crime. You know, I don saying it earlier. I don't care if you committed a crime. You know, I don't want you to die. I understand there are circumstances where someone could be violent and dangerous. And only in the process of trying to preserve life do we end someone else's life. That's self-defense.
Starting point is 00:18:35 That's why we allow that as a defense in court or as a reason not to prosecute somebody. But to see Antifa say that a person who was shot, an unarmed person shot by a cop deserved it. Wow. Talk about the utmost hypocrisy. Now, listen, when I saw those conservatives throwing the Blue Lives Matter on the ground and stomping on it, that to me looked more like anger and kind of a realization as to what they were experiencing. And it was for a lot of the conservatives who are being basically shut basically shut down by these cops they've never had this happen before because
Starting point is 00:19:08 conservatives don't protest for the most part so to them it was kind of like this new experience where they were like dude are you kidding me this is ridiculous what they're doing so they stomped on that flag that's not hypocrisy that's a change of opinion to an extent i can respect antifa changing their opinion if their opinion was consistent they're saying an unarmed woman who was shot by a cop deserved it okay all right so the guy with the taser shooting at cops that's you know they're saying they're saying that the fascist u.s government killing an unarmed woman is justified yep antifa defending what they what they claim to be fascist i love it we're going into a very scary time where policies no longer matter and only power matters. And when you go towards this particular instant of where we're at right now, we're going to see people leveraging that power and trying to use that power to try to hurt their political opposition. And I think that's where we are right now with people trying to take advantage
Starting point is 00:20:05 and escalating threats and fear-mongering about them to really rattle their base to support this kind of emergency takeover of civil liberties because that's historically what always happens. Regarding Ashley Babbitt, I don't support I'm not glad she's dead, but
Starting point is 00:20:21 she was climbing through a window into a sensitive area of the Capitol building with a few armed guards that were terrified for their lives and probably charged to protect things and people in there. Did you see the video footage? She had a backpack on, so she could have had a bomb in that, and that's probably what went through their mind when they saw it. I think they had – You're supposed to defend the Capitol. He couldn't see her. No, no.
Starting point is 00:20:41 She stuck her head up. That's why he saw her. There's police officers behind her. I know. There's cops. But listen, I'll'll say this i don't think that officer should be criminally charged he it's his job to defend the capital he's got politicians inside and people were breaking the glass and trying to break in and she pops up and he fired we can have it we can have a discussion about administrative procedure due to the fact that he fired on a person maybe he fired too soon maybe he should have waited maybe it was the right thing we don't we can
Starting point is 00:21:03 have the discussion okay no criminal charges in my opinion because yeah you you you break your way into the capital she may have been part of the group that they opened the door for we have no idea maybe she was part of the group that shoved their way in but you have an unarmed person and a bunch of bewildered and doting people who many of whom didn't know what was going on like that old grandma lady waving little flag right she clearly had no idea what's happening so so for this woman to get shot it's tragic i wish it didn't happen i don't blame the cop i don't we saw criminal charges for less for officers uh right before which is also important to bring up and and i mean there should be an entire investigation into what happened and there should be a jury deciding what what should happen from here but i don't
Starting point is 00:21:45 think you're right ian uh that's just my opinion i mean it's remember again you're it's this is so different because it's on a federal level yeah uh these people are not elected these you know the the uh attorney general uh is not elected uh unlike say say, Keith Ellison in Minnesota. He was elected. You know, the woman from St. Louis with the McCluskeys, right? Elected. And again, George Soros stuff. So it's an entirely different scenario.
Starting point is 00:22:20 And in a way, it's scarier on the level, because at least in the federal level, there's well, there's there should be less bias. But, you know, it depends on who you pick. It's why this part of this private police conversation starts is freaking me out. We have a lot of people in here that are like and cap to the extreme where it's like, no, no public service. We want private police only like a private policeman can shoot you dead. Well, it depends. no public service, we want private police only. Like a private policeman can shoot you dead. Well, it depends. I mean, if you make the argument for Detroit,
Starting point is 00:22:50 Detroit implemented private police and they had positive results because of that. And, you know, you really get into a big argument here that is kind of taken away from the kind of conversation because there's still just so many other things that we could delve into. But I understand both sides of the argument here. We do have some breaking news, though. Trump has declared a state of emergency in D.C.
Starting point is 00:23:09 ahead of Biden's inauguration. It's quite a simple story. It's really just Donald Trump approved it. They said they want to declare a state of emergency in D.C. There's threats against the inauguration. Trump says yes. So it'll be interesting to see what happens in the next nine days or so.
Starting point is 00:23:22 They're saying armed protests at capitals, armed protests in D. dc who knows what is this trump's first statement since that incident no no no he released that twitter statement but other than that i mean people are waiting and and i've been there's been there's been some weird stuff yeah i i hear people like there's too many conspiracy theories you know i hear trump's gonna give a presentation and then he cancels it and the state department thing pops up do you guys see this no yeah with the state department claimed that trump's term had ended today or whatever or was going to end today and mike pence's as well and now they're saying it's like a rogue employee i guess let's just we'll just we had this one planned for later but let's just we'll jump straight to this one check this out from buzzfeed a disgruntled employee changed the state department's website to say that trump's term ends today sources say
Starting point is 00:24:10 secretary of state mike pompeo is launching an investigation after biographical pages for the president and vice president were changed monday i don't i don't buy the story everybody started sharing the state.gov biography of trump that it said donald trump's term ended and then the current date plus like a couple of hours yeah it seemed like some kind of basic script to just say you know donald trump's term ended and then display time you know what i mean so that no matter what happened every time someone went to it it would show them the current time based on like utc time zone or something that's what it seemed like so i don't know exactly what happened but the thing was a rogue employee perhaps buzzfeed says a disgruntled employee at the State Department
Starting point is 00:24:48 changed the biographies of President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence to say their term was coming to an end on Monday, nine days before the president-elect Joe Biden is to be sworn in. Two current serving diplomats with knowledge of the situation told BuzzFeed News. The changes of the State Department's website come days after Trump incited a deadly insurrection. OK, we get it, BuzzFeed. The president's biography was changed to read Donald J. Trump's term ended on 2020, 2021, 011, 1949. The vice president said 1944, 22.
Starting point is 00:25:19 The timestamp on Trump's page changed multiple times before both pages were removed around 3.50 p.m. and replaced with a 4.04 reading. We're sorry, this site is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again in a few moments. One of the diplomats said that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has ordered an internal investigation into the matter, beginning with interns and employees leaving the State Department this week and next ahead of the transition to the Biden administration. So this is what it looked like right here. It says Donald J. Trump Trump Trump's Donald J. Trump's term ended and the date. And then you can see for Pence, it was very, very similar. You know, my response is when I saw this
Starting point is 00:25:53 right to jail, believe it or not, straight to jail. Whoever did this needs to get locked up. No joke charges because we're at a time we're extremely vulnerable. OK, this country is going through serious turmoil. Nancy Pelosi, I'm not here to play games. I know that what I'm about to say is a strong statement. But Nancy Pelosi, according to the Joint Chiefs of Pentagon officials, asked them to stage a military coup. And we can argue she didn't know what she was asking for, and that's fine. But it needs to be said.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Pelosi went to the pentagon to the joint chiefs and said do not obey lawful orders from trump in certain circumstances incompetence is not a defense if she didn't know she was doing she was still doing it and and and the argument i give is she's been in congress for 50 000 years i mean of course of course she she would know she was in like dinosaur congressaur Congress. Yeah. So she went to the Pentagon and said, if Trump gives you orders to like start a war or fire nukes or whatever, disobey them. And they said that would amount to a military coup. They cannot remove the president from the chain of command.
Starting point is 00:26:57 He is the commander in chief. Why isn't that being said more of? So anyway, look, the point is, considering the state we're in with these kind of things happening, now would be the worst possible time for hackers to break in, to mess with our country, to start a war or to come at us. And then some dumb intern or whatever is like, I'm going to make a joke about Trump resigning. And now you get people panicking. How many? What if people like you've got people on edge?
Starting point is 00:27:24 We had just people. We just had people storm the US Capitol. This is not the time for jokes. So that's why I don't know if I believe it. Because a lot of people were worried this was a hack. Some kind of hack that went in and they added this or whatever. But either way, could you imagine what would happen if people around the country saw that message? We no longer have a president. No statement statement no knowledge i remember when twitter got hacked the associated press got hacked by the syrian electronic army to to put out a tweet from from the ap saying that obama has been injured and we lost like four billion dollars in stock value as soon as it happened and then as soon as they corrected it it's
Starting point is 00:27:59 it shot back up but uh but uh only a 90 percent recovery these kinds of things aren't jokes whoever did this should get the book and the bookshelf thrown at them but they're they're probably an obama holdover and uh and in how many more days is joe biden they're probably going to get the medal of freedom yeah i mean that's you know i mean i i know i i agree i mean they they should be i don't think they should go to jail i think they should just be fired no they should just be I don't think they should go to jail. I think they should just be fired. They should just be... I don't know what happened.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Did anybody go into the Wayback Machine and see what this thing looks like? Was that timestamp there and all they did was just add some HTML saying that his term is over like right now?
Starting point is 00:28:47 So at a certain point in the archives, there's nothing. It wasn't there. Someone placed it there. It seems like around the end of December to have like the current date or something. For whatever reason, we don't know why the date was changing. But there are versions from December. Whoever did this, in my opinion was broke into these systems is you no one was granted authorization to claim trump was removed from office or resigned that's that's
Starting point is 00:29:12 serious that's that's not shutting down his twitter account that's telling everyone in this country the president's gone well it's only telling people that are going to that website i i i do i think they should gov do i think they should be punished yes but but what's but what's the the state's crime the state department website yeah but what's the crime well the the actual statutory crime is the violation of the computer fraud and abuse act unauthorized access to a computer server for which i think the minimum is like 25 years considering it was the state department that's serious i'm not okay with these people playing games right now man we just had five we have five people die right okay we've got people freaking out in this country we've got dramatic escalation in in in every political uh arena censorship is going through
Starting point is 00:29:56 the roof calls for the expulsion of republicans for some dumb employee to be like i'm gonna make a joke but here's but my my my point is. Does anybody believe it? No, I believe that it was a rogue employee. No, no. Does anybody believe that that? Oh, my God. I just saw this time stamp.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Oh, that means the president. Yes. Yes. But nobody's believing because Trump is still in office. So where's Trump been? He's not given a public statement. And you know what I was hearing? Because, look, listen, I follow as much as I can from all of these different tribes.
Starting point is 00:30:28 I follow the mainstream media leftists and the Democrats and Republicans. And I listen to what the lefty conspiracy people in the right wing are. There are left wing people. I saw posting on Facebook saying Trump was supposed to give a speech. And then this website pops up announcing he's resigned. And now his speech was canceled. They believed it. They did.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Look, man, regular people that look, imagine that little old lady in the Capitol. You saw that picture of the granny waving a little flag. That lady has no idea what's going on. I'm not trying to be mean, but come on. She was confused and bewildered. Like Joe Biden. And she sees on the website, Trump is no longer president. She's going to believe that.
Starting point is 00:31:04 And look, it's not even about whether or not people believe it for the most part. It's about the fact that somebody, because they were an angry Trump derangement syndrome moron, broke into a system exposing a vulnerability in our state department. Like, dude, we're on edge so much. We can't do this, man. Well, I'm not saying that i'm look i'm trying to be objective here i'm this person should be punished yes do i think that the that the people that had nothing to do with the murder be charged with felony murder no so again i'm trying to you know i'm trying to i'm not saying lower the temperature i agree i'm not saying give them 25
Starting point is 00:31:42 years but i'm saying they should be given you know some kind of charge it's got to be you can't go into government systems and do this and that's fine uh you know i don't think that they should go to jail for 25 years though that's right right ridiculous no no right i agree they definitely joe biden will pardon pardon him anyway did you imagine joe biden being like this patriot who tried to remove donald trump to build back better we're're going to pardon him. First thing. I don't know, man. He should be arrested. I don't know who it is, if it was one person.
Starting point is 00:32:10 I mean, you need to pull some out and be like, this is the guy that did it, and we don't know if that's right either. I'm going to say that this person who did it probably put it out there to say, hey, look, there's this thing. Look at this. It's crazy, right?
Starting point is 00:32:25 I saw a tweet. I think it was from redhead libertarian i'm not entirely sure so if i'm miscrediting you but it was like that point when you realize our systems are made of are cobbled together with sticks and stones that was me oh that was you that was you tweeted i said that our systems are pretty much held together with toothpicks and cobwebs like balsa wood and cotton candy. Because it's nothing. One person can do this. It's insanity.
Starting point is 00:32:47 I didn't know you were the redhead libertarian. Apparently I am, yeah. But think about what they've exposed with this stupid joke. That some dumb rogue employee at the State Department could break the whole thing. Think about what that means. I wonder what else up there is fake right now. But it's everything i mean look look at all these holdovers from the previous eight years all the leaks where do you think those
Starting point is 00:33:12 leaks came from trump not republicans you know it was funny i i think uh i i'm gonna miscredit whoever said this so i'm not gonna i'm not gonna credit anybody it was me they said the one thing trump was famous for he didn't do, fire people. Yeah. He should have just fired people and he didn't do it. No, he did. He fired – he didn't fire – The right people. He hired and fired a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Okay, that's true. But you can't – it's very hard to fire government employees. We know this, right? Trump made it easier it's one thing that to fire to hire and fire jim mattis it's another thing to fire some low level you know look at look at what andrew struck you know i mean peter struck peter struck sorry andrew struck andrew mccain you andrew mccain yes thank you. I had a long train ride, guys. Come on. But, you know, even it was hard to get rid of them, too. I mean, there was pushback there.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Right, of course. And they actually did something, which I'm not saying that this State Department guy didn't do something. I just think, you know, this person's anti-Trump. Sure. Going off. Half the government. Right. You go off of the previous discussion we had. You know, we're talking about arresting people for murder or whatever.
Starting point is 00:34:29 I wouldn't be surprised if prosecutors are like, we're going to bury them in books. Like, it's going to be an example tenfold. And then with this, they're like, well, it was just a harmless joke. It was a prank, bro. And we all hate Trump, right? Because the orange man is bad. Sure. It sounds okay.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Yeah. I don't see – can we go back to the inauguration for a second? I think Secret Service probably has everything covered as far as safety. And these things happen once every four years, like clockwork. So I think they kind of have everything that they need to do. I hope so. So I think they kind of have everything that they need to do. And but honestly, I do not understand why this inauguration is even taking place. I mean, fine. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:14 The ceremony of him being sworn in, that has to happen. But having 1,600 people in stands in front of the Capitol. Isn't that a super spreader event? I thought that Joe Biden didn't like that stuff. There's going to be plexiglass between all of them. They're going to stand six feet away from them. So what I heard is that— He's going to put his hand on the sanitizer instead of the Bible.
Starting point is 00:35:36 No, no, no. This is serious. In order to do it, what's going to happen is once you arrive for the inauguration, if you're one of the attendees, you wait in line. They have you six feet apart. And then they have these eight foot by three, three by three by eight cubes, like or not cubes, like, you know, big, big chambers. They lock you in a plexiglass and they padlock it and they put you on a forklift and just carry you in and put you down. You can't leave.
Starting point is 00:36:00 You're trapped inside and you're banging and it's airtight and there's no sound. But then Joe Biden's safe so great you just look you're like yeah i'm here no it's like you got everyone's gonna die because you had me halfway no look i i think i think it's so hypocritical for him to be holding this thing and there's also going to be onlookers too it's a celebration just like his win when during on election night you know the guy's celebrate the guy's been wanting to be president since the 80s so this is his moment right nothing is not even covid is going to stop this dude's moment and you know what and i'm not going to remember it and you know what and you know what we're going to hear in the evening i
Starting point is 00:36:39 guarantee it biden's inauguration was bigger than Trump's inauguration crowd. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What they're going to do is they're going to say that based on online numbers, they're going to make the streaming for this makes it the biggest inauguration in history. Even though when Trump was getting inaugurated, they discounted the live stream views and said that it was smaller than Obama's. Right. And then Trump was like, but look at the live stream.
Starting point is 00:37:02 You know, the ratings were huge. Well, the way that I mean, look, I've, I've been a big critic of Sean Spicer and the way he came out and presented it was just the dumbest way possible. Just set the tone for the entire four years by coming out. First thing you do is like yell at all the reporters. I want to sing a line from Alanis Morissette's Ironic about the old man. But I don't want to say it because it has to do with the president. But I think you understand the joke. You know, an old man turned in E8.
Starting point is 00:37:31 He won. He won the presidency. Oh, yeah. You know, but I'll leave it. I'll leave it at that. For those that are familiar with the song, I guess, you know, I'm really curious how they're going to be doing the inauguration, because, again, we see Joe Biden as the kind of plexiglass social distancing
Starting point is 00:37:45 always wear a mask hundred days of masks are coming presidency how are they going to do it with everyone standing together behind him uh how are they going to do it with that i think i mean if they do it he's a he's a gigantic hypocrite and he needs to be called out on it but they will not be called i'm out on it and and that's what that's what kills me this double standard well this is absolutely one thing already one thing, they have a crap ton of National Guard. They have a crap ton of troops coming together, mingling together. And again, this is also something that has affected small businesses tremendously on such a severe level.
Starting point is 00:38:19 So for them to pull this off, it's really going to be something. And second of all, it's also interesting to see new york governor andrew como tweets today that we need to open up businesses so maybe when the biden administration comes in maybe there's going to be a another kind of flip of policies where covid's going to be magically over like trump said well we've always been saying that and it's and it's been a joke but well but but then joe biden keeps saying it's going to be long dark winter and you know what if at the inauguration like biden comes out and he's got his arm around like two young dudes wearing hawaiian shirts and sunglasses and he's
Starting point is 00:38:55 kind of slumped over and he's wearing sunglasses and a hat and they like bring him up and like his arms flopping and he's flops onto the bible i think there was a movie about yeah well there was there was also a great political ad for it too did you see that oh yeah yeah yeah it was great yeah it was awesome they're like this is what we have to try and win and like it's great yeah it's good fun uh i hope it goes off like normal man i you know whatever it is if they're hypocrites i wouldn't be surprised it should be canceled well they are hypocrites no it wouldn't be surprised. It should be canceled. Well, they are hypocrites. No, it should legit be. It should be the first Zoom inauguration. And that's it.
Starting point is 00:39:28 And instead, they're going to have 16. The stand holds 1600 people. They're all going to be wearing masks outside. And you're like, well, why could you do it there? But you couldn't do it in other things. Like, why were they considered super spreaders? And this isn't. And with the crowd.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Because you think the people are going to go, yeah, I'm just going to stay home. Why were they considered super spreaders and this isn't? And with the crowd. Because you think the people are going to go, yeah, I'm just going to stay home. Like, no. People are going to come out. And I think partially because they want to say, we need to make this bigger than trust. Yeah, they're going to take out the champagne bottles. They're going to be swinging it and passing it around to the next person. And they are hypocrites. So I think you might be right.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Because, again, we have to understand here, especially on the topic of small business, the same people who are arguing that you need to shut down small business to defeat COVID are the ones who are screaming right now that businesses could do whatever they want. They could censor whoever they want, because they're big private corporate entities that should be left alone. Magically, again, a major shift in policy that no one's calling out or addressing. Well, so considering these double standards, I want to talk about this video that's going viral we have the story from the daily mail quote they called me an effing terrorist moment burly pro trump protester sobs at dc airport after finding out he's been put on a no-fly list i want to play
Starting point is 00:40:41 this video first i'm not entirely sure that's true, there's on a no-fly list, but let's play so you can hear. There's only one of you, but this is what they do to us. This is what they kick me off this plane. They call me a f***ing terrorist, and they want to f***ing ruin my life. Sir, please calm down.
Starting point is 00:41:00 I was just going to talk to Delta earlier. So this is just a video, right? There's a guy walking away. You heard what he said. Basically that quote, they're calling me an effing terrorist. I heard that it might actually be that he wouldn't wear a mask and people are assuming it has something to do with what happened at the Capitol and that he's angry. They're calling me a terrorist because he's not wearing a mask.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Right. Maybe. But we know that Alaska, Alaska Airlines did put 14 people on the no fly list. And there's been some discussion around this, but man, when I saw that video, this is a middle-aged guy. He's burly.
Starting point is 00:41:31 He's not some like dinky little, you know, scrawny individual, whiny little soy boy or whatever you want to call it. He is a whiny, big Trump supporter. And so I wonder when you see this, this defeat,
Starting point is 00:41:44 this desperation, this exasperation that's uh i'm i'm actually kind of worried about hearing that kind of emotion coming from people because you know i was thinking about just what they teach you in terms of cornering a scared animal right might be a rabbit but you back into a corner that thing will attack you you know so you get a bunch of trump supporters you put them on no-fly lists, you beat them down, they've been defeated, and now what happens? They go after them with the full weight, full force of the government, threatening, you know, oh, maybe there'll be felony murder charges for anybody who was there next. Maybe now, if you're a musician, we're going to kick you off your label simply for listening to Trump speak and then going home. Maybe we'll
Starting point is 00:42:21 cancel your book deals, we'll kick you out of Congress. They are beating down these people so hard, you're going to get a bunch of desperate, angry, and just exhausted individuals who just don't care anymore. And that's when it gets scary. When you look at the history of the no-fly list, it came after yet another emergency that the government milked. That, of course, was 9-11. And that system was used and abused where people with the same names, babies, people who had nothing to do with anyone or anything were literally told that they couldn't
Starting point is 00:42:50 fly, and their way of having any regress or any way to have any accountability or get the name off of this no-fly list was virtually impossible. This happened for many years, so seeing this now implemented politically, I mean, if you're going to charge someone, charge someone. What's the purpose of banning them from flying home or being home or even just transporting or going from place A to B? What's the point? What's going on here? We need more information. If they did something wrong, charge them. Let's get this over with. stop messing with them and toying with them and trying to also and i think another reason they're doing this and we're seeing a lot of videos of people being arrested at airports is to set a chilling effect is to scare people is to make people think well maybe if i'm a trump supporter this is going to happen to me as well and that's that's something that should be immediately called out because just like the no-fly list was used and abused after not 11 with muslims and other innocent people it's being it's going to be used and abused with the new kind of Patriot Act 2.0 that they're proposing that they're going to be instituting. And yet again, government's going to be exploiting another tragedy, another emergency for powers that they will never give back. The first point is you have Governor Ralph Northam.
Starting point is 00:44:13 You have Bird, what is his – the former KKK guy, right? Robert Bird. Robert Bird. The guy that was pictured with. Those guys, those people are allowed to redeem themselves. Those people are allowed to change their thinking on all these things, right? They're allowed to be redeemed because they have a D next to their name, all right? But when you have a man who, again, context is everything here.
Starting point is 00:44:47 We don't know if it had to do with a mask or whatever, right? whatever right but if you're if you're just a normal person who likes trump has a trump hat and then somebody says suddenly oh you're you're a bad person we're gonna fire you from your job we're gonna delete your your facebook account we're going to uh get you fired we're gonna put you on no fly list now let's say that that person is a racist, right? And all those things happen. Does them getting fired and getting basically canceled make them less racist or more racist? Do you think they're going to become more racist? They're going to become more angry, right?
Starting point is 00:45:17 And the same thing with the, with this poor Trump supporter. I mean that just hearing that audio and not knowing the whole context, it's heartbreaking that that man is in audio and not knowing the whole context it's heartbreaking that that man is in pain yeah and we don't know why and if it's something stupid just like like ariel pink the the record art the the musician who just went to a trump rally he likes trump there's things you you're there's things you're allowed to like trump for well not anymore because if you do you're labeled all these things.
Starting point is 00:45:45 The Abraham Accords. Completely racist. You know what I mean? He did some great things. You know, when you talk about the opportunity zones, those are good things, right? But then, you know, you can say, look, it's like Ben Shapiro says, there's good Trump and there's bad Trump. When Trump does good things, we praise him for it. When he does bad things, we go after him for it.
Starting point is 00:46:09 And I agree 100 percent. And we should do that to Biden. But just going after people and just trying to completely ruin their lives just because they like a guy who's absolutely flawed is incredibly scary. Think about where we go in the next several years. And this is what I think Republicans are too stupid to realize. Mitch McConnell, talk about dumb. What do you think is going to happen in 2024 when any Republican tries running? Any one of them.
Starting point is 00:46:37 No matter who it is, they're going to scream Nazi. And they're going to say it's Trump 2.0. No matter what. They called Bush a nazi i remember seeing the protest signs it is what was isn't it true that they've equated like every republican candidate going back like 40 50 years they've he's been called a nazi or a fascist oh yeah they called they called george bush a nazi they called ronald reagan a nazi right right george ronald reagan a nazi so you know spare me your indignation democrats because it's
Starting point is 00:47:06 all the game well it's all you look at how bad things are now come 2024 the republican candidate is not going to stand a chance they're going to be completely obliterated it'll be it'll be trump the fake news and hoaxes about trump tenfold it depends. Well, it depends. I'm sorry. We're only looking at it from one angle, which is Biden's popular now. Biden won. And then whoever runs in 2024 is going to be running against him. Maybe not.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Because first of all, do you think that Joe Biden is going to be campaigning for a second term? He didn't campaign this time around. Right. But he's not going to have an excuse unless there's like another global pandemic. All right. And if he steps down, anybody could beat Harris. Tim could beat Harris. Well, Tim's definitely a smarter guy than, you know, and better, you know, a better skater.
Starting point is 00:48:05 For sure. I more agree with Tim mainly because when you control the institutions of information, mainstream media, social media, you pretty much control what people can and cannot hear. That's unlimited power that essentially sets them in a position that can't be challenged. But you think you don't think that people are going to see what's happening right now and totally be motivated to— How will they see what's happening now when the mainstream media is advocating for all forms of competition to be removed? Once big tech companies are removing these videos, people who had photos from the Capitol, not even like from D.C., not even the Capitol, are having those photos removed. Memes making fun of this year are being removed. Sure. OK, but but as far as he tried banning memes like this. Yes. That was. But as far as policy goes, you're going to have you're going to have all these states that are going to be there.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Their citizens are going to be freaking out about Second Amendment rights because uh when kamala was running first she said she was going to do a uh an executive order about about guns and it's like joe biden's like no you can't do that then she said well i'm going to put let i want congress to bring up legislation in the first hundred days and if they don't then i'm going to do this right so with a with congress in democratic control now you can see these things happen dropping you can see you can see uh a push for there there's a push forward for um getting rid of the electoral college there's a push for puerto rico and uh washington dc to become a state i don't know about guam but but I mean, they might as well. Two more senators.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Let's have six senators. So all these things are going to happen and people are going to be like whether or not they can tweet about it or parlay about it. I don't know if that's the term. Is it really? They can parlay about it. But people are going to be upset and you're going to be mobilized. And 2022, remember this,
Starting point is 00:50:05 Warnock, Raphaelael warnock the the superhero sounding uh yes sadly he do you know do you know when his term is up 2022 yeah because it's a special he doesn't he doesn't get a full term because he's he's uh finishing out johnny isaacson's term so maybe georgia will get it together in two years right and then so look the people didn't turn out it was a turnout problem as michael tracy said the left liberal monoculture is merging with the state so when you look at the suppression from big tech let's let's let's before yeah when you look at the suppression uh from the democrats calling and advocating for the expulsion of republicans like i don't i don't see how we we come back to this point when after they've already had control everything you know what i
Starting point is 00:50:56 mean like part of the reason they lost in georgia was stacy abrams getting this consent decree from the governor a democrat filed a suit they had a consent decree it changed the rules without the state legislature and other rules are changed and it heavily favors democrats and it's and again turnout did affect republicans but do you think republicans are going to get more organized as the tools for organization are stripped away well we didn't have i i think that maybe uh people are going to be turning to alternate ways to mobilize and communicate. By email. No, by email.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Just people are— They banned Trump's email list. Well, okay, that's fine, but— Smoke signals? You can't do it to everybody, right? I mean, they can. If you put together an email list they'll just see google will be like this person's doing an email list he's a fascist gotta ban him but not what they're good about
Starting point is 00:51:50 email is you could export your emails and actually have a physical copy of them and move them to another server that might take it down but another thing that i think personally will happen i think things will spiral out of control and this kind of cycle of violence is going to continue i don't want it to but i believe that's going to happen because all the ingredients that created this situation they're being added instead of subtracted from the cycle and it's only going to get worse and it's only going to keep spiraling out of control and i don't want it to happen i've been warning people you've been warning people and and all the signs are on the wall that this is going to lead to a crazier
Starting point is 00:52:24 i mean with the no fly list what is that going to achieve other than a chilling effect, other than scaring people and creating more people on the fringe? Now, this started just let's talk about the merits here, because this was talked about by a flight attendant unit. But now it's being taken up by House Democrats that are talking with Homeland Security in special committee meetings. And according to some people, this has already been instituted. We're seeing a lot of people being arrested. We're seeing a lot of people crying. We're going to see a lot of people who were milling around, didn't do anything
Starting point is 00:52:53 bad, caught up in it, punished, and then essentially even radicalized even more. I don't want that to happen. There are some bad actors they do deserve to be dealt with. But when you're dealing with average people, when you're setting up a chilling effect, when you're censoring people and stopping them from having speech, you're not showing you have the moral high ground. Because when you have the moral high ground, when you have something that you think you're better or good at, you let that speak for itself. You don't need to squash any kind of dissenting voices against that. With that kind of authoritarianism, with that kind of unlimited, unchecked power, we are truly entering a time
Starting point is 00:53:28 where they're not going to be checked. And they're going to use that power for their political enemies. I have to stop you, okay? I have to tell you that these people were monsters. And this next image you're going to see, this person needs to be placed on the no-fly list look at this look at this shocking image of a little old lady smiling
Starting point is 00:53:51 bewildered we're holding her a little she's holding a little thermos and she's holding a little american flag i'm sorry man i'm not trying to be mean to her but she clearly has no idea what's going on and then they're like it was an insurrection yeah i mean there was a group of people that were bashing cops and and by all means charge them and there were some doting old women who were confused and the cops opened the doors and they're like waving little flags as they walk in like there were there were i mean i i think it depends on where you know if you were breaking windows and and going in that way yeah you're probably going to be uh met with some kind of force but if you're like grandma's be met with some kind of force.
Starting point is 00:54:25 But if you're like grandma's like, oh, here, let me hold the door open for you, miss. The cops opened the door. Yeah. And it's like there were people taking selfies. I love on Twitter the indignation. They were taking selfies. That cop got suspended. The cop who took the selfie.
Starting point is 00:54:39 But like what was his crime? If there was like one side of the building where it's like that that building's supposed to be open right i don't know about the i don't know i don't know about the capitol building the chambers um well they had layers of security that day making sure people couldn't right but maybe not the house floor but but there were definitely there were definitely some mixed there was definitely some miscommunication because some people were opening doors others were trying to hold them shut so there's and well this is where it gets scary are they
Starting point is 00:55:10 going to take so you have a video where the doors are opened and the cops are just standing there yeah and one of the cops says something to the effect of disagree with it but agree with your right to protest I don't know if he says you can disagree with it but I agree with your right to protest or I disagree with know if he says you can disagree with it, but I agree with the right to protest or I disagree with it. I'm not sure exactly what he says. There's been different quotes from different people. But there are a bunch of people just walking, you know, slowly and like little flags. And then the cops are just standing there and they're like nodding.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Walking within the ropes. Yep. Staying within the ropes as they walk through. And then there were some people that smashed that bookcase with like that famous literature that was on it. Yeah, sure. I'm so sure that people that smashed that bookcase with like that famous literature that was on it. Yeah, sure. I'm so sure that there was like women's historical literature on that one bookcase.
Starting point is 00:55:50 I don't buy it. I think that got knocked over because they broke the window to get in. Yeah. And then they boarded up the window and probably knocked it over. But, you know, to get into those buildings,
Starting point is 00:55:59 you do need to go through security. Right. You do need to, you know, I went a year and a half ago and and you know it's it's not like the toughest security ever but they you know they they want you and they check your bags and stuff they clearly were not doing that i'm sure you saw what aoc said about it something like we're seconds away from half of congress being assassinated yeah and and by this lady pull it up again she was coming AOC. The American flag was actually an assassin's blade.
Starting point is 00:56:27 I'm scared. And her little thermos was actually a spy device for releasing toxic chemicals. There was a bomb in it. True story. But AOC— There were bombs, man. Let's be real. It was dangerous stuff going on.
Starting point is 00:56:39 But who knows where those bombs came from? Let's see what we can do. There's a video of some dude dropping them. Okay. Or like walking up well ase saying that trump said to storm the house she said that she said trump said to storm the house floor yeah so or or you know i'm paraphrasing but she said that trump said to storm you know to go inside and go on the house floor he never said that no he said let's go to the Capitol and cheer for politicians.
Starting point is 00:57:06 And cheer and not cheer for others or something like that. No, he wanted them to like, he wanted the process to play out. He wanted his hearing finally. And the Trump supporters went and shut that down. I love the. Yeah, thanks, guys. You had the live streamers like Trump's going to be happy with us. Oh, he's going to be happy that you disrupted the one time.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Finally, on CNN, they would air complaints and evidence and uh and wow it was the one thing that we had and you ruined it it was the one thing that's all we had left and you guys and you guys screwed up thank you so much this is why i said this is why i said the last time I was here that these protests – yes, I said that protests don't do anything. I was wrong. Protests only have a negative effect to the people that are protesting, right? I actually had people go, oh, no, the protest is – yeah, it just set the tone for the next four years. Trump terrorists, Trumpism, everything they needed, everything they've been begging for. They've been sitting in their room lying awake at night under their covers, their flashlight, wishing just something would happen so they could prove everything they said was true.
Starting point is 00:58:16 We've been we've been expecting this for the last four years, including Mayor Bowser. Remember that Time magazine? I think it was Time magazine cover of all the angry Trump supporters yelling and it was like what happens if trump loses they gave them everything they've been asking for for four years trump supporters weren't rioting you know they weren't smashing windows and screaming and setting fires no and they kept saying trump supporters are dangerous and white supremacy and the far right and all this and then finally just before trump leaves they had to make sure they left the administration with they left the incoming administration that one day to make all of those past four years come true. It was almost like they're, you know, it was almost like they were saying, you know, maybe maybe BLM had a point with their with their.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Yeah. And now let's let's just why don't why don't we uh kind of co-op some of their methods and ideas maybe that could help us louis gomert said this when his lawsuit was kicked out right he said and the message is you have to be as violent as black lives matter or antifa now the funny thing about that is that all of a sudden i saw these lefties these journalists being like oh no he's inciting violence and I'm like, but I thought those were peaceful protests. Right. So if they're as violent as the peaceful protests, they too would be peaceful. No.
Starting point is 00:59:30 And of course, there's all the articles, the side by side articles, like back from the summer. It's like, you know, violence does have its place. And then they're like, you know, now in 2021, it's like violence is never the answer. Have you guys seen the most recent Ryan Long skit? Oh, yeah. Where it's radical right is never the answer have you have you guys seen the most recent ryan long skit where it's radical right versus radical left protesters i have not seen that it's so great i love there was so much incitement this year we have to admit it i mean there was even a compilation video of all the news organizations of all the kind of left-wing thought thinkers being like yes
Starting point is 01:00:00 we have to excuse it the ends justify the means and we were calling it out and it needs to be called out whether it's from the left or from the right, it doesn't matter. Whenever you invoke violence politically, everyone loses. We're all losing right now and we're going to lose a lot more unless people heed the warnings that we're sending out there and other people are sending out there. Because again, one thing we need to also understand here on this larger point, it's only going to get worse from here. I don't want it to. We have to do everything in our power to try to prevent it.
Starting point is 01:00:29 And we're in for a hell of a 2021. Let's talk about probably one of the craziest, maybe stupidest things the left faction, the billionaires, could have done. And it's the removal. Nominate Joe Biden? Sorry. I mean, it seems it wouldn to work out for him so far but we'll see how it plays out check this out parlor is suing amazon for suspending app from cloud service claims antitrust violation and breach of contract parlor is seeking temporary
Starting point is 01:00:55 relief after after being blackballed by amazon web services a lot of people uh actually let me slow down if you're not familiar par Parler is very much like Twitter. Microblogging platform where you get followers, you can make posts. And it was fast growing, probably the fastest. It was the number one app on iTunes. It was removed by iTunes and by Apple and Google. It was then banned by Amazon Web Services. The interesting thing, a lot of people said, why would Parler use Amazon Web Services?
Starting point is 01:01:28 That's such a dumb thing to do because, of course, they'll ban you. You need to find your own web servers or web hosting. Gab, which is also a microblogging platform, created their own hosting system and they're building their own infrastructure. So why would Parler use Amazon? In fact, I think it was the smartest thing they could have done because they had a contract with amazon that if they're going to be terminated they get 30 days which is enough time for them to solve their problems and move to a new you know provider but what happens now is twitter was also using amazon so what do we get in this lawsuit it's fascinating parlor says
Starting point is 01:02:01 recently amazon signed a multi-year hosting deal with Twitter. Then Parler is fast becoming the number one competition for Twitter. Amazon bans Parler. So there's clearly a conflict of interest and a benefit for Amazon's large, massive, and valuable multi-year contract partner. But here's what they say. They claimed Parler wasn't enforcing their rules. It's more specifically, they said, we don't believe
Starting point is 01:02:29 they will enforce their rules. There was, I think, something like 60, I could be wrong. There was a small handful of posts that were inciting violence. Parler said in the suit, we remove them all immediately because they violate our rules. We do not allow incitement to violence. It is illegal. At the same time, when Amazon gave them 24 or so hours to move their entire platform, violating, breaching the contract they had with them, hang Mike Pence was trending on Twitter and Twitter did nothing. And Amazon said nothing, no public statement, no threats to Twitter, nothing. We're also hearing that, you know, they're trying to claim that these people at the Capitol were organizing on Parler. Glenn Greenwald said that's not true.
Starting point is 01:03:07 They organized on Facebook. Where was anyone going after Facebook? At this point, it should be obvious to everybody what's going on. We've seen it before with Patreon. This is really fascinating. When Patreon banned a bunch of people, they all flocked to Subscribestar, which was a competitor to Patreon. So what happened? Payment processing companies, I think like PayPal and Stripe, immediately severed
Starting point is 01:03:31 services to Subscribestar, which shows what they're really trying to do is to protect their monopolistic power in Silicon Valley. There's no reason to ban Parler. It was a lie. It has nothing to do with threats. They just grab a few screenshots and they post them. But I tell you what, I can go on Twitter right now and probably find 10,000 death threats and violence. And I'll add one more to the layer. While this is going on, I have personally filed several complaints to Twitter over, let's just call it extremely abusive content directed at me, and they have not removed it. Can I now demand that Amazon ban Twitter?
Starting point is 01:04:11 Because I have been trying to get stuff taken down that directly threatens me, and I'm going to leave out specific details as to what these posts are, but they are some of the—it's bordering—I don't want to say too much. I don't want to reveal too much about what's going on and why I'm having to report people. But it's serious. It's very serious threats. Twitter won't take them down. At least with Parler, there was – to sign up for a Twitter account, you just have a fake email. With Parler, I think you needed to have your phone number and – It was KYC.
Starting point is 01:04:40 It's almost easier to track down somebody. Like I'm sure that if – I'm pretty sure that if somebody – if the DOJ came up to Parler and said, look, this person is involved in terrorism, that they would go, here, here's all the information we have. Well, they said they were cooperating with law enforcement. So to completely shut it down and move those bad conversations to basically the depths of the internet, at least on Parler, you could see it wide open. So this is – you think the DOJ is going to go after Amazon for antitrust over this? Nope. Hell no. Right? Twitter harbors far leftists who to this day have organized and called directly for violence. No issues.
Starting point is 01:05:34 None. Well, Tim, you know, if you don't like what Amazon or Google is doing, you should just build your own CIA-connected monopoly multinational corporation, you know? Why didn't I think of that? Yes. It's that simple. It's that simple.
Starting point is 01:05:46 I mean, we'll call it off. Lydia, you want to get on it? Yeah, I'm in on it. Let's do it. Let's do it. No, but we've got to make some points here. I mean, when we look at, you know, the history of something like Twitter and Facebook, there's a long history of people publishing information that hurt other individuals.
Starting point is 01:06:01 So there's a long history of people inciting violence, whether it's the Arab Spring or jihadis or even the Christchurch town shooting. That was a live stream. There was a massacre live streamed by a tech company that allowed the video to go everywhere. So when we're talking about let's hold these companies responsible for what they're doing, that points back right at Facebook, that points back right at Twitter, but it essentially points back that, no, we can't set up this kind of president where people are responsible because of what people do on communication lines. It's like the same as charging AT&T because some jihadi used their phone or used their company to talk to another jihadi.
Starting point is 01:06:42 That makes absolutely no sense at all. What if you left someone a voicemail threatening them what would the what could you go after the company for not deleting that voicemail no but also i mean remember uh maybe in the last two years there was a group of of uh of current and former uh border patrol agents who had a facebook group and they were all yes um you know they were all sharing memes and stuff and they're i think pro publica came out and showed like three all of three examples you know out of out of tens of thousands of posts where either they were attacking aoc and and they were vile and they were they were bad and you know and and that's fine but you can't
Starting point is 01:07:23 you can't then lump everybody in right but then you you didn't go well facebook was sharing that so let's penalize facebook uh what you know they went after the group they went after some of the people in it i think some people probably got fired but it's the same thing on parlor you can't go after an entire platform just because there are a couple bad apples, right? And they were removing them. It's the same excuse they do with Gab. They're like, but they weren't really enforcing their rules.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Did you go on there to make sure? No. Well, they said they were enforcing their rules. But ProPublica said. But we found three people. You know, it happens every single time. Build your own. I love it because now we're at the point where it's like every single vendor.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Start your own legal firm. Okay. They lost their lawyers because, as Michael Tracy said, the left liberal monoculture merging with the state. They have too much power. They control our lines of communication. They're controlling our commerce. You can't buy or trade if they ban you from online uh payment processing what do you do i guess bitcoin and this this is where this is where okay if you know amazon's history you
Starting point is 01:08:33 probably know that amazon for years didn't make a profit they didn't make they they didn't make a profit they also weren't paying a lot in federal taxes either. But that's totally legal. They were playing the long game. They were building their infrastructure. They were building warehouses all over the place. They were building these cloud services. Any time Netflix goes offline, it's Amazon's fault. It's not Netflix.
Starting point is 01:08:59 It's because they're having issues with their cloud services. So I can't remember what my point was, but... It's all Amazon's fault. Something about being a gorilla. Well, we have to understand that this censorship is absolutely selective. There's despots, there's dictators that are still allowed to use Twitter, but President Donald Trump can't. And again, we have to also underscore that there's a lot of international backlash. When we look at the market caps of Facebook and Twitter, they've been hit.
Starting point is 01:09:29 But there also have been some leaders, some presidents coming out and speaking out against this, including, I'm really shocked by this, Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany came out and she spoke out about how problematic it is for tech companies to have so much power that they're able to eliminate a president from even having a voice. So did the Mexican president as well. No, no, no. You're wrong. Go ahead. Angela Merkel.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Whatever. It doesn't matter. The Mexican president also released some very surprising statements. Angela Merkel. That's how you pronounce her name. That's the only thing you were wrong about. Okay. It doesn't matter. Angela, who who cares oh my god i'm gonna keep butchering it um camilla you know let's call
Starting point is 01:10:13 the whole thing off and gala the the statements by the mexican president were really surprising because he went even further than that attacking these tech companies as these arbitrators of truth and and lambasting them for for such a move which the mexican president is against angela merkel is against the majority of people are against because if you are the morally superior voice you don't need to silence other voices you would debate you would argue you would have a conversation with people and you would prove your points it would be out there in the. You wouldn't need to use the tools of totalitarianism in order to just squash any ability for words to hit other people's ears. That's just insane.
Starting point is 01:10:53 Luke, you're wrong. Okay, go ahead. Angela Merkel. Oh, my gosh. Angela Merkel. I saw that coming. I saw it coming. I don't care.
Starting point is 01:11:00 Oh, my goodness. Watch a train wreck. But you get my point. But you're right about everything else. You're completely correct. Well, I didn't realize that the Mexican president was so based. He is. Well, the Mexican president is very surprising with his latest actions.
Starting point is 01:11:16 He wants to grant Julian Assange asylum. He is calling out the lockdown. So he's not just a kind of leftist figure. He was previously compared as a Bernie Sanders. But he's resisting a lot of the bigger lockdowns. So he's not just the kind of leftist figure. He was previously compared as a Bernie Sanders, but he's resisting a lot of the bigger lockdowns. And he's saying, no, you can't just lock down small businesses. You can't lock down communities. You can't destroy people's livelihoods all in the name of security because it's obviously a big joke. So seeing this happening in Mexico is really surprising surprising to say the least i thought you're talking about cuomo no no yeah cuomo did release a statement today he cuomo has always been for
Starting point is 01:11:50 small businesses andrew cuomo recently came out and said we can't keep this lockdown going on for too much longer the election we have to reopen and do it safely and it's like you know it's really funny is trump trump said something like you know one day it'll disappear. Then there are a bunch of leftists who are like, all of these people were joking and mocking the left saying that once the election was over, that COVID would disappear. And here we are. And it's like, well, January 6th just passed. Okay. And now Cuomo has come out saying, time to reopen. And Biden too.
Starting point is 01:12:21 But the opening is going to be done based on your race according to Joe Biden so that's another whole issue to jump into excuse me Timcast is a minority owned company that's true yes
Starting point is 01:12:31 it is happy to work here that's right so we get to reopen not like we closed no but he really did Biden said it he's like we're gonna
Starting point is 01:12:38 be prioritizing you know Native American black, Asian Latina didn't he say Latinx I don't know he probably did yeah and then he said and women and then Native American, black, Asian, Latina. Didn't he say Latinx? He probably did.
Starting point is 01:12:49 And then he said, and women, and then everyone else. What is everyone else after that? White men. Where's the Asians? He didn't even mention Asians. He did not mention Asians. He didn't say Asians. He probably didn't say Asians. He probably said Pacific Islander.
Starting point is 01:13:04 No, he didn't say asians he probably said like pacific island no he did it now he did what yeah unreal you're screwed tim no but you know we didn't have to shut down anyway so yeah whatever we're okay yeah we're fine we still have a voice well good good good for uh uh for him but we've got some um uh my friends luke is about to explode. You're going to watch his head explode in real time. I'm ready. The most egregious act of censorship is quite possibly... What's the opposite of irony? Like the epitome, you know? Like it would be ironic if a fire truck's on fire. But what is it?
Starting point is 01:13:38 Actually, maybe it is kind of ironic. Ron Paul getting censored on Facebook. Well, okay. The libertarian guy getting censored okay but i was showing opinions here i was going no no no no i i was i was going to mention it's like you were like well why ron paul i mean why right well he's do you remember who he endorsed for uh the democratic candidate for president who tul? Tulsi Gabbard. Ah.
Starting point is 01:14:05 Boom. That's right. That's a problem. That's a problem. Like, of all the Democrats to endorse, not her, not the black sheep. Forget it. Well, this is the thing that's really surprising here.
Starting point is 01:14:16 When you look at Ron Paul, he obviously, his career is based on calling out violations of people's personal liberty, violations of government's abuse of power. He's a staunch anti-war activist. He pretty much is the main guy who calls for peace in the Middle East. But yet now he's being lumped in as this kind of Trump, whitewashing this kind of Trump censorship effort that's happening here.
Starting point is 01:14:41 And I'm having a lot of people respond to this saying, good, get rid of his hate speech. And I'm like, what? He's calling for peace in the Middle East. What kind of hate speech are you talking about? He's talking about personal responsibility and individual liberty. How is that labeled as hate speech? And this is the response by blue checkmark people.
Starting point is 01:15:00 And I'm like, okay, okay, give me an example of this because that's a very ignorant statement since, of course, it was Ron Paul that criticized Donald Trump on many of his foreign policy adventures. And then I was called – how dare you call a woman ignorant? This is the reply thing that's going on in my Twitter right now. You called a woman ignorant? No, I said her mother. That was her response. And I'm like, look, I don't care what kind of junk you have
Starting point is 01:15:25 between your legs give me an example of of how ron paul spread hate speech her opinion is automatically above yours and then she called me a misogynist and i'm like what does that have to do with anything i don't care what thing you have between your legs what matters here is is your bigger allegation here and people are jumping in and even coming after me and people are forgetting i criticize donald trump like all the time and and now people are lumping me into this because i'm standing up for ron paul who shouldn't be lumped into this in the first place so let me let me let me read the quote from from ron paul he said with no explanation other than repeatedly going against our community standards facebook has blocked me from managing my page. Never have we received notice of violating community standards in the past and nowhere in the offending post identified.
Starting point is 01:16:09 You know, it's funny about this. You know what you listen, you know what you'll hear if you turn on like Ron Paul and the Fed, the gold standard, sound currencies, freedom, liberty, no wars. It's not even in like The things that Ron Paul's been famous for and the things he talks about for the most part, his key focus, isn't even a part of the mainstream culture war for the most part. There's only one other person I know of
Starting point is 01:16:34 who constantly talks about ending the Federal Reserve, and he's sitting in this room right in front of me. Hello. Oh, Ian's here. I got it from Ron Paul. He sure did, yeah. Ian's been very quiet tonight. But people are celebrating
Starting point is 01:16:46 this as some kind of cultural victory against hate speech and i'm like what are you talking about about white supremacy about domestic terrorism i'm like you know the blue check marks are bringing this up right now this woke mob is bringing this up and and again conflating so many important issues as as i'm I keep saying, policies don't matter. Power matters. And these people are power hungry. And going after individuals like Ron Paul absolutely proves it to an objective viewer who's just walking into this situation who really wants to understand it. Maybe, but look, we're all old people.
Starting point is 01:17:21 So you've got these 20 somethings, you know, because there's one thing I really I started to realize when we had some of these younger lefty guests on the show. They were, you know, when Ron Paul was coming into prominence is like 12 years ago now, the big Ron Paul era, the Ron Paul love revolution. So I'm you know, we're all old enough to have remembered that. But these kids were like 10. You know, now they're 22. And they're like, yay, communism. And they don't know who Ron Paul is at all other than he was like a Republican. So they're like yay communism and they don't know who ron paul is at all other than he was like a republican so they're like yay ban the old white man and it's like he's for freedom i don't know or care get rid of him that's it fox news and cnn was attacking him non-stop when he was running to be president of the united states he was the only one standing up as a principled individual against this crazy aggressive american foreign policy against the military industrial complex against the actual issues that literally mattered and now
Starting point is 01:18:09 he's being lumped in into into maga it's rand rand paul's dad that's why well again rand paul is not ron paul that the two are very different they have very different policies uh ron paul made sure to always vote no no matter what it. So you got to give someone like that respect. He was in there and he sent out a representation. He worked with Kucinich? Yeah, he worked with Dennis Kucinich, Cynthia McKinney, a lot of the kind of old school anti-establishment representatives that were not just Republican, not just Democrat,
Starting point is 01:18:40 but individuals that stood on principles. Do we have any of those left? Would you give credit to Rand paul for that partly i don't like any politicians as you know not even run paul well we have one for a couple more days and that would be tulsi gabbard yeah you know i mean she endorsed biden yeah she did uh did she did endorse biden she endorsed biden because allegedly bern Bernie was a meanie. And Bernie is a meanie. I've been around Bernie throughout the kind of presidential debate circuit and at public events.
Starting point is 01:19:13 He is a mean guy. Bernie? Yeah. He's like, he's rude. Well, didn't you see that documentary about him where he wouldn't shake the woman's hand and he wouldn't pop the shoulder back into place? No. And he didn't want to drink the 2% milk? No, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:19:27 You don't know what that is? You guys know what that is, right? The Ascent. Burn Your Enthusiasm on Ascent. Yeah. One of the only funny things, Saturday Night Live. They've got very few really funny things. A lot of their stuff is really dry.
Starting point is 01:19:37 But they did that famous, you know, they had, what's the guy's name? Larry David? Yeah. Playing Bernie Sanders. And he's like, he wouldn't shake the lady's hand because she coughed in her hand. You remember that, right? You've never seen it?
Starting point is 01:19:48 I mean, I've seen, I've seen the Larry David stuff. I don't remember that. I don't watch Saturday Night Live. This is the viral Bernie video. It's hilarious. Oh, that's good. So he's like,
Starting point is 01:19:57 he won't put, the only milk they have for his coffee is 2%. And so he's like, I want whole milk. And so he goes out and then like a woman crashes her car on her way to vote for him. And she's pop my shoulder in place like i'm not gonna do that and he ends up losing by just that amount of votes of the people he refused to help
Starting point is 01:20:12 and then like that's the joke he loses by two percent but it was hilarious jerk bernie allegedly because of interpersonal drama between bernie and tulsi this is one of the reasons why tulsi decided to endorse for Joe Biden. And I think also, I think she voted for him. I don't know. Well, I don't know, but I'll say I think Tulsi has tried to prevent the fracturing and the hyperpolarization. Tried. I'm not saying successful, but in the last bit of her remaining congressional term,
Starting point is 01:20:43 she's put out some fairly moderate liberal-type policies pertaining to cultural issues. But she's also come out against – like the Russia investigation ended and she's like, that's it. It's done. Let's move on. That's why they don't like her. Well, she's – yeah, she's a progressive, but she's not triggered. She's not woke. She's very, she's objective.
Starting point is 01:21:10 She has principles. There's things that she will fight for and fight to the death for, but she's not hyper-partisan. And that's, I would never vote for her. She's not corporate established. But she's not hyper-partisan, and that's why I like her. That's why would never vote for her. She's not corporate established. But she's not hyper partisan. And that's why I like her. That's why I respect her. How crazy is it that Tulsi Gabbard, who is my understanding, she's for gun control, right? It's like one of her one of her positions.
Starting point is 01:21:34 She's for increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour. She opposes nuclear energy. She is very on the left. And they call her right wing. They say she was assigned Republican at birth. And she goes on Tucker Carlson and she goes on the left. And they call her right wing. They say she was assigned Republican at birth. And she goes on Tucker Carlson and she goes on Fox News. She's not on the right in any sense of those words. But that's how insane the Overton window is right now.
Starting point is 01:21:57 People only remember two things about her. She went to Syria and met with Bash bashar al-assad yep right even though she had permission to do it for us right it's a callback joke to a joe rogan episode i don't think she's a toady but also the second thing was she opposed gay marriage and it's like yeah well so did joe biden and so did brock and so did Hillary Clinton. But because, again, she's like the outcast of the DNC because she was vetted for the DNC. They were like, this is going to be one of the next big stars. And then she started questioning the establishment. She was like, well, we had 24 debates between Hillary and Obama.
Starting point is 01:22:44 And now in 2016 cycle, we're going to have six. Really? We're going to have six. That's it? And she went after Kamala really hard. Yes. Kamala. Whatever.
Starting point is 01:22:54 Potato, potato. How? God. You know what I'm trying to say. The mask is off. You know what I'm trying to say. When Tucker Carlson mispronounced her name, they said it was racist. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:04 I'm just trying to help you. And when Joe Biden pronounced her name improperly, you know, it was just chalk it up to old man. He has a stutter. Or also when he said, you know, Doug Imhoff, Kamala's wife. Oh, my gosh. Which, you know, I like that, too. I mean, that's the joke that everybody's been making anyway. But, you know, it's still funny.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Kamala's wife. Joe Biden. Oh, man. Get 11. Well, let's hope in two years the Republicans learn their lessons from the last. No, I'll tell you what's going to happen in two years. So they did win in the house in the, in the state levels.
Starting point is 01:23:48 So, which means they're going to control redistricting, which will give them massive advantages in the next election. That's all people don't realize. Isn't that, isn't that creepy that it's not about your message. It's all just team sports. And because we went at the state level,
Starting point is 01:24:01 now we're going to win at the house level. And it's like ideas kind of irrelevant. Just oppose the other, I guess. But it's also the census. You know, thanks to COVID and all these terrible, terrible policies, you have states like Texas and Florida, which actually might gain a congressional district. California might lose one. California might lose two. And the same thing with New York.
Starting point is 01:24:29 They were expected to lose one. They might lose three total. Three. Which, it's possible. But there was always the talk about how if they were at least going to lose one, and this is before the pandemic, that AOC's district would basically – they would just eliminate it and basically swallow it up between all the other districts. And then she would have to either run in another district or just decide that she's going to run for Senate, which is going to happen.
Starting point is 01:25:00 I think one of the biggest issues in the culture war split right now is trans issues you know you can see that conservatives don't agree with the idea of misgendering or they say there's only two genders and the left clearly disagrees i i'm willing to bet that you give it for maybe eight years and republicans are going to be 100 on board with all of it i'm not kidding i'm not trying to you know be bombastic or anything i think they'll be 100 on board with all of it completely and the left will be much further in in the direction of some new kind of you know issue pertaining to love or sexuality or identity and so how much further can they go though like where where will they be other years other can furries like trans species what about like cutting off your limbs yes already body dysmorphia but then what
Starting point is 01:25:45 happens with uh say the tulsi gabbard uh legislation that she uh introduced to protect to protect yeah that's what's called protecting women's sports right so do you do you think and are you saying also that in eight years like where does where does that go what happens with that if we look historically back at how culture has shifted is there a reason to believe the right will retake ground in the coming eight years especially considering the democrats just see like took every you know every branch of the federal government it's possible because you can have assuming they pack the supreme not only just that but also influencing people through the algorithms and the timelines and what people are showing through social media. And the mainstream media, the manipulation.
Starting point is 01:26:28 And Hollywood. Right, right, right. And all this subliminal propaganda. Listen, listen, listen. Go watch a kid's show and see the things that are in it. These kids are going to grow up and they're going to vote and they are going to be even further culturally progressive than 20-year-olds today. And you're going to get a bunch of, I'll tell you, this is the funniest thing. These, these lefties who are like 25 in 10 years,
Starting point is 01:26:50 they're going to be right wing. And then the new left is going to be these kids. They're having similar conversations that we had. And then we're going to find a lot of these people now agreeing with us on certain issues. But if you look at what you got to do, I'll tell you something really creepy. I saw this post. It was someone tweeted at Christopher Rufo. Go on Google and search for kids being taught that they're white supremacists. Take that same quote and put it in DuckDuckGo and see the results. When you put it in Google, it's like your kid is a white supremacist. How to teach your kid they're white supremacist.
Starting point is 01:27:21 You put it in DuckDuckGo and it's news about how schools are teaching this. So here's my prediction. I see no reason to believe the right is going to make any cultural gains at all. They've never been, for whatever reason, smart enough, I guess, or having an understanding of the game to go after cultural institutions. Now, the Daily Wire is doing movies, and they have that new movie.'s called what's called run hide fight which looks seriously intense and looks i've seen it is it good it's solid it's solid it's very intense and and after the the last week or so uh with with everything going on it's very stressful it's very stressful uh no it's gonna
Starting point is 01:28:03 uh like i'm i'm not being paid by the Daily. They sent me a screener. They sent Lauren Chen a screener too. Oh, cool. And I was like – and I remembered. I'm like, I think I have something in my inbox from their PR team. But it's a solid movie. It has Thomas Jane who played the Punisher.
Starting point is 01:28:21 Very cool. It has Treat Williams who is in the Substitute movies. Right? You know, so this girl, I cannot remember her name. Zoe. This girl is, like her real name,
Starting point is 01:28:34 the actress's name. Zoe Hull is her character name. But the actress who plays her is badass. She's a really, really good. Can we get a screener? And didn't the Punisher guy get canceled because of the of woke culture as well? I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:28:47 I don't know. But it's a great. It's not like the greatest movie you're ever going to see. Ben Shapiro is definitely hyping it up. But it is definitely a solid movie. It's worth the watch. What's your score? One out of 100.
Starting point is 01:29:02 Oh, God. Like a Rotten Tomatoes score. Like a 79, 80. Pretty good. Yeah. 7 out of 10? One out of 100. Out of, oh, God. Like a Rotten Tomatoes score, you know? Like a 79, 80. Pretty good. Yeah. 7 out of 10? 8 out of 10? It's not the, look, there's.
Starting point is 01:29:10 Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't want to get into a movie review. And I'm not going to spoil it or anything. But the point I'm trying to make is. It's definitely worth watching. The point I'm trying to make is, this may be one of the first times there is a conservative production. Yes.
Starting point is 01:29:20 For a piece of content that's actually worth watching. Yeah, it was definitely worth a watch. What's that super religious netflix they have god flicks is that what it's called i think that's what it's called farmers only you know what it is because it's like it's on the fox uh commercial like i see that commercial on fox news all the time it's like yeah but yeah like the productions oh watch that stuff it always always looks – Trash, yeah. It looks cheap. It looks like, OK – Like veggie tails. Honey, can you get the kids a camcorder?
Starting point is 01:29:49 I want to like shoot something. Yeah, exactly. I want to – you know, run, hide, fight. It is stylish. It looks good. Camera works great. It doesn't look cheap. Right.
Starting point is 01:30:01 It looks fantastic. It doesn't feel cheap. That's what the trailer for is amazing. There's actually – there is a scene though where one of the guys is holding a gun and it's a rubber gun right it doesn't feel cheap there's there's actually there is a scene though where one of the guys is holding a gun and it's a rubber gun and it's bending and i could not take my eyes off of it why couldn't they just get a replica what are they doing well they did they had some but i guess they didn't have enough to go around or so i don't i don't know what what it was production wise but i just see this this guy he's holding he's holding it and the barrels like
Starting point is 01:30:26 like it's not just pointing down but then it's pointing to the right and i'm like oh my come on you couldn't fix that like there's your easter egg well it was a screener it was a screener so they'll probably digital no no you don't think they'll fix it no no it's done the movie's done they can they can edit it digitally what do you mean they they it's a screener i don't think it's not released yet yeah they could of course uh they won't what if they did a really they won't tell them they'll like cgi a gun from like fix it ben 64 anyway the point is that does make me think that there is a potential for media to start being produced that will influence a younger generation but they're still 10 years
Starting point is 01:31:01 out from actually getting any foothold in culture well now that everything's streaming right uh yeah because you know this is you know when you when you get the playstation or the new xbox there's always like the killer game it's like the game you have to have right there's not a lot of content coming out other than you know what's on disney plus like i that wandavision looks just bizarre I don't know I have no interest in seeing that right but I was so excited watching this that the trailer is great for run hide fight right and maybe that that like if
Starting point is 01:31:35 there's something good like the Mandalorian you know the Mandalorian's like it's kind of like a must-see thing right now if if people are into that kind of action movie and there aren't a lot if if people are into that kind of action movie and there aren't a lot of action movies out right now you know because movie theaters are pretty much dead and we can have that conversation another time but yeah uh but having something like the killer app you know of this movie you know to get subs like go go for it now another thing i kind of
Starting point is 01:32:01 wanted to bring up and talk to you guys about is when you dominate culture you have a lot of power and control and i think you could be right too but i think also there could be a kind of reaction towards this because if you look at culture especially in the united states especially in the 1990s it hasn't changed or progressed since usually the 80s had had its own unique culture the Weird. The 70s, the 60s, they had their own hair, their own clothes, their own music, their own kind of way of life, their own kind of environment and excitement about those times. Since the 90s, we don't have any of that. That's not true. I mean, in my opinion, I haven't seen a huge difference between the 2000s, the 2010s. I don't see a change in clothing.
Starting point is 01:32:44 I don't see a change in hair. I don't see a change in clothing i don't see a change in hair i don't see a change in music i see it all becoming kind of repetitively the same or i'm just becoming old you're probably becoming old okay so you can look at the what do they call it the audis that's what they refer to as the the 2000s the audis and the 2010s and there's distinct music that was popular in the early 2000s that was prominent on networks and on social platforms, on MySpace and things like this that aren't really that popular anymore. So each decade does still have its shifting cultural trends and everything like that. And maybe you just don't see it because it's easy to look back at the 90s and recognize that baggy button-up shirt and Stone Temple Pilots and stuff like that. The 80s were weird,
Starting point is 01:33:28 man. Everybody agrees. 80s were weird. What was it, like leopard print hot pink hot pants? What were they thinking while they roller skated? A lot of drugs. A lot of crap by the CIA. But for me, not much has changed. That's just my opinion.
Starting point is 01:33:44 Maybe I'm just seeing it. A lot of things are cyclical. Like back in the 80s, camouflage pants were a big deal. And then eventually they came back. To me, it's like they're regurgitating everything, especially with movies. Oh, I mean, fashion definitely is. Well, I do think that. Oh, by the way, Isabel May.
Starting point is 01:34:01 That's the girl who plays. And it's Pure Flix, not God Flix. Thank Pure Flix. Isabel May, you're great and I hope that you have a great future. Oh, I don't know though. She did a Daily Wire movie. I heard Ben Shapiro's a fascist.
Starting point is 01:34:18 I heard he's an alt-right. One of those alt-righters. Is that true? You're probably right. Anti-Semite, right? Yeah. The anti-Semites. That sounds like Ben Shapiro.
Starting point is 01:34:30 Yeah, it does. That silly little hat, it's all a ruse. It is a ruse. Yeah, for sure. It's guys. Talk about how stupid you have to be to think Ben Shapiro is alt-right. It's the most insane thing ever. He's Jewish. He's the number one recipient to that
Starting point is 01:34:47 but also he's not he's not like he's not edgy crazy conservative you know and what i like about very mainstream what i like about ben is that he he's you know he comes from a has a law background right so that he approaches these things very differently than you know most uh pundits you know like mark levin you know he's he's all about you know constitutional law so you see that yeah way but but ben but calling ben shapiro radical which which aho aoc has by the way called him radical which is just mind-blowing. Like, this is how stupid she is. Ben Shapiro is so much more, like, traditional conservative, like the kind of opinions we know and expect,
Starting point is 01:35:35 and AOC is the radical with opinions you'd be confused by. And I just mean, like, when AOC comes in, a lot of things she advocates for, you're kind of like, about what? Like, Ben Shapiro comes in, you're like, oh, he's a conservative. Heard this before. It's very, very traditional conservative positions on a lot of issues. AOC is like the Green New Deal was not even about the environment. It was equity for college and whatever, equity bills.
Starting point is 01:35:59 And she doesn't understand any of that. She's a sponge, right? But one of those really cheap sponges that you get at the supermarket where- Oh, like the little ones where you get them wet and it's a dinosaur? You know, it's not- No, that's cool. Yeah, maybe. No, she is not a sham wow, okay? She is- She is not. A sham whoa? She hears, like she's like a parrot. She hears people say certain buzzwords, certain things, certain things about equity, and then she tries to remember them.
Starting point is 01:36:31 And sometimes she jumbles them up. But she knows how to tweet. She doesn't understand them. You know what she knows how to do really well? Is to clap in between words. Yes. Yeah. Well, look.
Starting point is 01:36:40 One thing she has – look. She has a brand. And no matter what happens with her political career, which isn't going nowhere, because if Maxine Waters can hold a political house seat for decades, AOC, she's got that covered. President? We've talked about this before. You don't think she'll be president? She'll run for president. She will not win the presidency.
Starting point is 01:37:04 I don't know. I think she's like Trump. She cannot win. I think she'll be president she'll run for president she will not she will not win the presidency i don't know i think she cannot win i think she's like trump most of her support is outside of the district that she supports as well as her donation it's it's like 99 it's like 98 99 of all of her donations come come from outside of her district because her district's poor it's it's like a bunch of it's a it's a big spanish immigrant community she's like trump she she what she's good at is not politics it's personality social media she does not connect with people like she she went on a on a rant about the point she went on a rant about the electoral college saying, look at all this land that votes.
Starting point is 01:37:45 Right. Like she was driving across country. She does not care about any of those people in any of those red states. Not not one person. She doesn't have any respect for them. Same thing as Anderson Cooper talking about, you know, people going back to the Olive Garden. Right. She does not connect with those people. She connects with the woke crowd.
Starting point is 01:38:02 So I'll tell you why I think you're right. I agree. I'm damn right. Well, think about it this way. The reason why I think AOC was able to win is that normally the people who believe the things she does are fringe and they're all over the country. So if you live in a town with let's say you live in a block and there's 10 people and you know four of them are conservative five of them are are democrats you know are like moderate democrat and one is a radical socialist or democratic socialist that one person has no political influence whatsoever no no power in on that block okay this is this is why aoc one
Starting point is 01:38:41 has won two elections let me Let me make my point. That one person can't influence the block. But AOC, because of the internet, was able to create a network of all of the different fringe elements in different areas, and all that power got pulled into her in her New York district. So whereas these fringe pockets of far leftists in their areas don't hold
Starting point is 01:39:02 power, together online they all send their money to her which allows her to overwhelm the district she's in that happened after the the primary election that right she she that's why she has 12 million followers that's what i'm saying okay but but that that was after the fact but what i'm saying is why she can't win in a presidency the 12 she has 12 million followers on twitter yeah something like that the reason why that won't translate into her actually winning is that those aren't regular working class americans that's her brand people like her for her brand but in her district she she beat joe crowley because he underestimated her he was uh he was in the the office for 10 terms yeah he was the fourth most powerful uh democrat in the house for one
Starting point is 01:39:47 reason and one reason only he was a great fundraiser right but aoc came in and just totally decimated him in a new york one uh debate and he didn't even show up for a second debate he sent a proxy so he basically completely underestimated her and she's the new, young, fresh thing with saying, oh, he's establishment. Oh, he's in the hands – he's in the pockets of big real estate, all this stuff. When she ran in the general, she didn't have any competition and the same thing and the same thing happened with uh with with her second election she ran against michelle caruso cabrera who was an idiot she was one of the dumbest camp she was one she ran the one of the worst campaigns i've ever seen this this woman might have had a little bit of a chance i thought that she would be smarter i was wrong she's a dumb right imagine
Starting point is 01:40:46 imagine being beat by aoc just imagine and also imagine being beat by joe biden right but yes yes yes but but here's the thing about aoc is that she plays to she's a character she's a kardashian right that's the way i put it she's she's she's that kind of influencer personality when oh man you know one of the most annoying things was when she was talking to what's the what's the director of ice guy what's his name homan homan yeah oh yeah yeah and she and she said like legal asylees are not criminals and then he goes they violated subsection two section three a of the uniform immigration, the end of the country illegally. And I was like – It's just like, okay, I reclaim my time.
Starting point is 01:41:28 It was really annoying how she said it because it was meant to manipulate emotionally. Yeah. They are not criminals. Like, okay, dude, chill. We're having a hearing and we want to have an honest – I can't stand that manipulative kind of – that's what she does. So many Congress people – so many people in Congress do that, senators and – Of course. And representatives alike.
Starting point is 01:41:47 But she does it – The radical left in this country. They sit down ahead of time and say, what are going to be – what are the – what can we say that's going to make the soundbites on now this news? That's what – At this point, she can just be like, here's the soundbite for now this news. And they'll what at this point she can just be like here's the soundbite for now this news and they'll just say oh it's aoc you gotta run it but she has like five subreddits dedicated to her that are always on the top of reddit oh yeah and it's just like really dumb young people who don't even understand what she's saying but i'll tell you this i can i can
Starting point is 01:42:18 summarize don't on that guy i can summarize aoc's campaign um most of it there There are some things I've praised her for, for sure. She worked with Ted Cruz. They advocated for ending lobbying, like the lobbying pipeline. She's called out big tech for surveillance, mass surveillance. Awesome stuff. But for most of what I see from her is this. That. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:38 And it's like, okay, you snap back. I get it. That's great. Now, about those Amazon jobs. Remember when she put her feet up, like Amazon opening a marketing department with like a thousand employees compared to the 40,000 or whatever employees in the massive headquarters? And she like was smugly sitting there like, they came anyway. And it's like, whatever.
Starting point is 01:42:58 I don't live in New York anymore. So I'm not going to complain about it. They vote for it. You get what you vote for. All right. They clearly want her. And so, look, she knows how to win. She's won.
Starting point is 01:43:07 She's got a lot of followers. She's you can you can criticize her. You can say she's not smart, but she's certainly got some kind of talent. Well, she's doing she she has a talent for for celebrity in the brand. Absolutely. She she does not have a talent whatsoever politically other than other than is a grandstanding. She is a great influencer a very talented one and only a fool would deny it oh no i i agree i agree um but unfortunately
Starting point is 01:43:32 actually maybe fortunately uh you know since she doesn't give money to the d triple c uh since she does actively try to primary uh sitting sitting representatives sitting democrats um she is going to be shut out but from a lot of things including uh you know seeing any of her legislation uh voted for on the floor yeah but you know to be honest we'll see uh she'll be in for a long time and nancy pelosi is not going to be in for what you're saying like two more like the next well that's the thing she's she is going to be there for a long time. And Nancy Pelosi is not going to be in for what you're saying, like two more years, like the next term is it? Well, that's the thing. She is going to be there for a long time and going to be ineffective. And you're going to be like, well, what has she done for?
Starting point is 01:44:12 Perhaps. Oh, well, she's really pretty. You know, like she's, her hair is great. My question is, who do you think is worse, Pelosi or AOC? Oh, AOC. Really? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:24 I think Pelosi. I think Pelosi. No, no, look. yeah yeah I think Pelosi I think Pelosi no no look no like I think Pelosi she's Pelosi's more effective I mean look look what she did she was able she was able to help derail the election by by uh but I'm not happy about that but like at least but that's her job that's what she's supposed as house speaker she's supposed to she's supposed to totally screw with the other side no and trying she okay well if that's what you want you think it's a good thing no no no i'm not saying it's a good thing i think that she's like who's a better person no no like who's a better who's better at their job if you had to vote you had to vote for one of them you
Starting point is 01:45:00 had no choice for speaker no no no just like right now some guy comes up and he's like vote or else you're like oh no and it's aoc and it's policy would you pick if i wanted to see well i mean look i just i wouldn't vote democrat for in in in that way but pelosi nancy pelosi can get things done and i've i've defended pelosi in the past because i thought you know the squad was being ridiculous and unreasonable and pelosi was pushing back but at this point pelosi is just i'm just so Pelosi is just, I'm just so sick of Pelosi. I'm just so sick of the establishment, garbage, crony, I don't care about you, I lie, I cheat, and I steal.
Starting point is 01:45:32 With Matt, you know, I just don't like it. And at the very least, AOC has some kind of, you know, argument for actually wanting to help people. Not that it's very strong, in my opinion but pelosi is just like she's this old crone at the top of the tower looking down with contempt at the people i'm not gonna pretend like aoc is perfect or anything like that but i think pelosi is substantially worse but you vote for pelosi because you know that she she's like the top fundraiser in the democratic party you vote for her because well first of all she's in your district this is the only reason why she wins in in san francisco in in that area in her district because she's the most powerful person
Starting point is 01:46:11 in congress right so of course you're gonna vote for her because you're your district wants that power different argument i'm saying that i like aoc as kind of a disruptor in the democratic party i don't like the crony corporate establishment politics. And that's for similar reasons. I like Trump for policy reasons. Trump was doing with like the Abraham Accords with Middle Eastern withdrawal with critical race theory. I preferred him over someone like AOC. But in terms of disrupting the establishment and, you know, a lot of these crooked corporatist types, I prefer AOC. But AOC is not disrupting anything. She's she's loud. That's it. I'll take it. Yeah AOC is not disrupting anything. She's she's loud. That's it.
Starting point is 01:46:46 I'll take it. She. Yeah. But why would you but why would you vote for somebody that, you know, isn't going to get anything done other than just be like a loud person? I wouldn't vote for her. Well, that was that was the if I had if I had no choice and I had to pick between the two, I'd pick AOC over Pelosi every day. OK, fine.
Starting point is 01:47:03 If I thought you were talking about you know like if you're if you're a democrat and you know if if it's for me i would i would go for aoc because she's not gonna get anything done and nancy pelosi like i would want to derail nancy pelosi right but if i'm a democrat in in a district and those are my two choices you go for pelosi every single time i disagree for for me you guys are arguing over stinky butts like well this one has a little bit less pimples well this one has not and then nancy pelosi's uh she's you know i i would prefer a progressive populist over a corporate establishment candidate the problem is i think aoc is a careerist and there are other progressives
Starting point is 01:47:43 that i would much prefer to AOC or Pelosi. Like if there was an actual progressive lefty universal health care and all that stuff, like very left critical race theory and stuff, I just I don't even agree with. I'd prefer over Pelosi. But AOC is a careerist. I don't think she knows what she's talking about half the time. I think she wants followers and she wants fame and attention. It's her career. She's going to socially climb and all
Starting point is 01:48:05 that stuff pelosi is exactly that but establishment crooked ultra wealthy twenty thousand dollar refrigerator full of ice cream laughing at the poor peasants the old crone looking down for the tower with contempt i mean i hate them both but it's you know what do you what are you going to do i mean again i didn't vote for them i i do not live in either of their districts but that's why aoc voted for pelosi to be Speaker of the House. Right, right, right. Which is just, you know, at least she has principles. We gotta do super chats.
Starting point is 01:48:32 But good, good, good debate. I wonder what the chat's thinking about AOC versus Pelosi. You can press one if you believe AOC. You can press two if you believe Pelosi is the stankiest of the two. I mean, I hate both of them. Don't get me wrong, but I'm just saying as far as effectiveness goes.
Starting point is 01:48:51 It's like that tweet I put out where I said, who do you trust more, the government or the mainstream media? And everyone's like, I don't want to pick either. Or press three if you're sick of it all, like me. Just let it die. Smash that like button if you have not already. It seriously does help when you give us a good thumbs up. If you're listening on the podcast, leave us a good review because it also really does help when you give us a good thumbs up if you're listening on the podcast leave us a good review because it also really does help and uh i forgot uh you know i should i should announce this now for everybody listening timcast.com is up it's live members only area is
Starting point is 01:49:15 now in existence we have yet to actually start producing so it's very much the early stages we just went live with the very new timcast.com which has all the new podcast episodes and we're going to have exclusive members only content that will be only available through the site for paying members it's 10 bucks a month but we're also going to be doing physical events at the studio
Starting point is 01:49:35 limited ticket sales per event when we do and it'll be like first come first serve so you'll get an email and everyone's going to be sitting there refreshing their phone and we're not going to know. We're not we're not going to plan out events and like announce them. You know, hey, the event is this day. Tickets will go on sale on this day.
Starting point is 01:49:51 It's going to be one day. I'll get an email saying tickets are now on sale. It's going to be like so far sounds where it's all, you know, like very last minute. Super last minute. Cool. Because I don't know how you make it as fair as possible. You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:03 So it's just randomly doing it. It's the highest super chats. Yeah. No, no, no. That was the other thing too because – so again, go to TimCast.com. You can become a member. You can log in. It's still very much I guess kind of beta.
Starting point is 01:50:14 We just launched and so we're going to try and get things sorted and fixed and smooth. But one of the challenges was we're like – we have like higher tiers. If you want to donate a ton of money, like what do you get? And I was like maybe we set up a thing where they can come to events. And I thought it was really crummy that we would tell someone if you're too poor you can't come and hang out that's kind of messed up so i was like we need to have it just be kind of like an email goes out and it's first come first i mean i was joking but but yeah no but it was a good point because the question was like how about if you give a hundred
Starting point is 01:50:38 bucks then you get a ticket to events and i'm like nah that's messed up you just need to know people i'm too lefty if someone can't afford it i don't want to exclude them you know we want people to be able to come out but gotta be honest it's gonna be like 20 tickets per event and then we're gonna do online you know we're gonna film we're gonna stream and do shows so again go to timcast.com become a member we're gonna start putting up members only content so what'll end up happening is we do these shows with these guests we're gonna record special exclusive like hangout chats after the show ends and then put those up after the shows and stuff like that. So, again, check that out.
Starting point is 01:51:08 Smash that like button. And now we will read super chats. Justin Force says, if the Dems actually expel elected reps like Cruz and Hawley, then by what authority other than violence does the federal government have the right to govern and tax the states that are now unrepresented? They can't expel them. They can't. No, they can't. uh of the speech and debate clause in the constitution they can basically say anything they want on the house floor or on the uh on the on the floor and you know they're not being incendiary they're they're they can actually commit crimes right like so you could lie you could you could call somebody you could you could slander them
Starting point is 01:51:45 and say that they did something which they weren't and you know like say uh debbie wasserman schultz calling ken kuchinelli a white supremacist and he couldn't do anything about it couldn't do anything about it he just has to he he can rebut her but you know he can't sue her can't you expel members of congress uh not for that nope but do you need a reason if they vote for it? Well, not for saying something on the Senate floor. That's it. They cannot be expelled for that. They can be expelled for collusion or for conspiracy.
Starting point is 01:52:16 But, you know, just questioning something to bring out election issues in a debate and a discussion, they're in the clear. It's all a left-wing talking point. Oh, right on. Tyler Henderson says, will you guys start discussing cryptocurrency at any point in time? We do periodically. And let me just say,
Starting point is 01:52:37 y'all who sold, y'all are dumb because Bitcoin dropped pretty far. It went down to like 30,500. And I saw all these people being like, there's a story coming out saying people are going to lose everything. Sell, sell, sell. And I've been buying. And I'm like, don't. You'll make a huge mistake if you do.
Starting point is 01:52:53 People were buying at 30. And so, exactly. So I sat back, put my feet up, and watched it go right back up to 35. Imagine all those people who saw it go to 30 panicked and sold. And now it's back up at 35. You just lost your... Womp womp. This is Lydia's favorite topic, by the way. She loves talking about cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin.
Starting point is 01:53:11 So if you have any related information, definitely send it to Lydia. Yes, thank you. But yet again, don't follow the market like a blind sheep. A lot of people buy at the top and sell at the bottom. That's not what you're supposed to do. Not financial advice, but again, don't play it like the average yeah yeah i'll just tell you what i do and again i can't give you financial advice you gotta take that on your own i'll tell you what i do i think it was dumb of people to sell i when i buy i buy it and i hold it's it's it's total hold on for
Starting point is 01:53:37 dear life because 66 of us dollars created in the past, what, nine months. 66% in the money supply. Well, it's all wrinkled and gross because of Corona. It's all digital. They had to remake it. But it's increased money supply. This has not happened before. So who knows what's going to happen? And I think Bitcoin is, I've said it before, I think it'll be a million dollars per coin at some point in the near future.
Starting point is 01:54:02 Sheepers. But that's not an opinion I made up out of nowhere. That's when you listen to the experts and the people who know what they're talking about and they tell you based on the technology and what it is and what it does and the fact that all of these massive multinational billion dollar corporations are buying in to hold assets, to hold value. It's just there. It's a good store of value and it's going to keep going up. My friend, Sean,
Starting point is 01:54:25 uh, actually was saying that he was going to hook me up with some advice about crypto, uh, because that's, he's like, I'm not doing politics right now anymore. I'm not doing,
Starting point is 01:54:36 you know, uh, so he's, he's all, he's all in on crypto right now. Uh, and he can afford it because he's super rich. But,
Starting point is 01:54:43 uh, but Sean get, you know, remember to get back to me because, uh want to i want to play this game when bitcoin hit 20 bucks everybody was like oh freaking out a lot of people were buying and then it dropped way down and everyone's like oh it was a bubble and it burst it was hype it was a trend and then it jumps up again to 100 then it jumps again to a thousand i remember when it hit a thousand people were like what and i was like wow i was like how am i gonna buy in now at a thousand right because you can buy fractions all the way down to eight decimal points so every step of the way the trend has been
Starting point is 01:55:13 entirely predictable what happens is the people who mine the bitcoins who produce them this is my understanding i could be wrong it's not a financial advice this is just what i read and what i base my opinions on they they start producing bitcoin okay so they get them through running the software running the hardware to generate it then at some point something happens politically or in the markets and people rush and flock to store their money out of fear this causes a huge spike so we recently had like jp morgan and a bunch of other banks saying bitcoin's going to be huge we're buying in like crazy once the pipe the price skyrockets the people who mine the Bitcoin go, now's the time we sell to get maximum value out of the effort
Starting point is 01:55:49 we put into producing them. The mass sell-off drives the price way down because everybody's waiting to buy at lower prices. And then once the miners clear their stock, it starts going back up because the demand is still there. You getting all this, Lydia? Yes.
Starting point is 01:56:02 I'm listening. I'm taking notes over here. Anyway. What's your Twitter account again? Nope. Nope. SourpatchLib. Bitcoin information.
Starting point is 01:56:09 Don't care. I'm just kidding. I'll learn about it. It's interesting. So do what you want to do. I'm not... I don't... You know, look.
Starting point is 01:56:15 I listen. I just... I see tweets from Max Keiser and I'm like, I'm going to buy Bitcoin. You know what I mean? Have fun staying poor. That's the meme. We'll see. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:56:24 Maybe everyone's wrong. You can't win if you don't play. That's true. Well, I don't think it's about winning. I think it's just, these are uncertain times, in my opinion, not advice. I'm just saying, for me,
Starting point is 01:56:33 I was really worried when I saw them mass printing this money. Biden's saying he's going to do another big round of stimulus. He's just basically devaluing the money. There's nothing being produced. Shut up. I want that free money.
Starting point is 01:56:46 Free money. Shut up. Free. Totally free. don't do it like don't all right okay print it student of history says ladies and gentlemen in these trying times work on yourselves think of ways to improve your local community organize the local level to push peacefully for change and find ways to separate your community from the big uh the big buoys. Be constructive, please. Good advice. Great advice. Vote local. Look, you can worry about voting for president every four years, but really, real change happens on the local level. With your city council, with your assembly person, and your state senator. It's all super important.
Starting point is 01:57:25 Every election is important. Don't concentrate on just once every four years. And vote with your dollar and also vote with your attention. But most importantly, take care of yourself so you can take care of others. That's another important lesson. I mean, I guess. So I can't read Japanese, but they say, I love you, Tim. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 01:57:42 And then GenoFest. Can you try? I can't. No. No, it's like a bunch of lines And then Genofast... Can you try? I can't know. That was like a bunch of lines. It's a kanji, I think. I don't know. Genofast says, I love you, Luke. Oh! I love you, too. Thank you. Yes. Alright, let's see what we got here. Martin the Panda says, Parler data was
Starting point is 01:57:58 quote-unquote hacked, sort of. It was lazy coding on Parler's part, but all data available via the IPs is being scraped and archived, including videos, images, and posts. I believe that's true, but that doesn't mean anything. It basically means someone archived Parler. And, okay, thank you, I guess. There was this big rumor going around that all of the private information and IDs was hacked or whatever.
Starting point is 01:58:19 Yeah, that was a few weeks ago. And then it was made up again, the same stupid lie. And I saw everybody just posting it because someone on reddit made the claim and someone screenshotted posted on twitter and i'm like did anybody google this they didn't even bother googling and it looked legit you know like like it wasn't but it was q q style conspiracy like giving someone a vague description of jargon so it sounds legitimate like Like, the API access resource was exposed. Now, I'm not big on this stuff,
Starting point is 01:58:47 but what that means is the pseudophile that's used for the import allowed them to access your private information. They're like, whoa, those are crazy words I've never heard before. It must be true. In related news, Twitter just announced that they got rid of 70,000 users
Starting point is 01:59:01 for sharing, this is what they're saying, Q-associated content. That's the word that we're getting right now, rid of 70 000 users for sharing this is this is what they're saying q associated content that's the word that we're getting right now officially i've lost half my followers that's crazy they were all your followers it's just it's just a way to purge the right once again and the left keeps growing and twitter is pushing this and it is creating a monoculture and it is getting creepy. Well, if you see on Twitter, you see a lot of right wing politicians losing a lot of followers, but you see a lot of Democratic people gaining followers. So I even saw Swalwell tweet, look how many great new followers I have. Thank you again so much for following me. So that
Starting point is 01:59:40 should tell you what's going on. Well, there's i think there's a difference between new users right these are these democrats who are being followed they're they're not from new users they're from existing users the the republicans who are leaving are leaving yeah they're they're canceling their their accounts their their username so there's you know there's a difference it's not like it's balancing out for for twitter definitely not twitter like twitter's probably in trouble a little bit how how much trouble do you think that twitter is in the long run i think they're in serious trouble yeah there was a a comment i think made by an investor's report that said conservatives are fleeing they think eventually political activists might end up choosing twitter and stay but uh twitter was dying before trump they they were it was it was burning users they tried changing the way they count metrics to sell better like oh we're gonna go through to monthly
Starting point is 02:00:36 active users instead of daily active users you know why how many people on on twitter are active every single day not that many right how many are active in a month so you make what i don't know exactly how the metric counting worked but the idea i i assume or i i remember reading could be wrong just preface that was like if you tweet once in a month you're considered a monthly active user or something like that whereas when they did daily active users some people don't tweet in a day you know so they were like screwing with the numbers trying to make it look like they were growing but it was like you could see the users were going down and then trump came along and then everybody in the world was like traps tweeting
Starting point is 02:01:12 88 million followers it's just now he's gone and i'm sure a lot of people are just like what's the point of being on twitter anymore yeah i mean it's actually a good point but also for the left too you know we were talking about like you know bro, Brooklyn Dad Defiant and all these people. It's like where, you know, Trump, they have a notification when Trump posts and they're like, OK, what's the thing I'm going to say right now? Like, what's my rebuttal? Some of them were bots. People don't realize this. Some of them were.
Starting point is 02:01:38 Not Defiant, Brooklyn Dad Defiant. No. I know. No, he's not. Please don't tell me but some of some of them would just respond to trump with some nonsense like trump would tweet something where it's like the radical left in this country is trying to subvert the constitution we will never allow this this country will not be socialist and they'd see a reply guy say something like yeah coming from from you it just shows how dumb you are because they would have automatic great job that were
Starting point is 02:02:03 generic but it worked and they would get hundreds of thousands of followers and then reply saying make sure to buy my shirts and then they would sell shirts where it's like trump is so dumb and it worked and they made a ton of money you know what else works this was a booming and i see this like once a week now where somebody's like i just quit amazon i quit my job because my i have principles and i was making 220 000 a year also Also, I'm black. Follow me. And it's like they just made an account like a week ago. And then all these people retweet them and are like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 02:02:33 This guy's a patriot. You know, it's like, yeah, it's fake. He's some guy like, you know, from Eastern Europe making a fake account. Daniel Maxwell says, Luke, the only government that you can trust is one that is afraid of its own citizens but only as long as that government is afraid of its own citizens Poland Poland afraid of its citizens well depends there's a lot of debates going on specifically with the Polish government and some protests and pushback against it I wouldn't say the government scared but I think the government does realize that essentially the power is with our consent. And once we understand that, I think they lose a lot of leverage. So I think that's why it's very important to let people know that they have absolutely a lot of power and that they shouldn't be feeling disenfranchised at all. Smooth play, Johnny J. says, Tim, in your opinion, why does the career of journalism attract more liberals than conservatives? I love your show. Keep up the great work, good sir. Because
Starting point is 02:03:30 news organizations are based in cities. That's it. That's the only reason. So there are conservatives who work in media, but if you live in a city, you're much more likely to be left than if... So the people who live near these institutions are more likely to go and apply and
Starting point is 02:03:46 get jobs and they're more likely to be rich because news organizations don't pay very well so there was this like a big thing happened in new york where people were kind of screaming about it the only people who are getting jobs the new york times are rich kids you know why because your parents pay your bills and you work for nothing you want to work at the new york times okay start as an unpaid intern how is it possible to be an unpaid intern in New York City? It's too expensive. But if your parents pay your bills, you can do it. So it's the rich kids. It is rich. It is upper class, white progressives getting these jobs. They're coming from colleges where they're learning about a bunch of stupid things. And then that becomes the narratives at these institutions.
Starting point is 02:04:23 Even surprisingly, a lot of people at Fox News. Oh, yeah. Look, I've worked in newsrooms where, you know, like all the all the people covering finance there, they're right leaning for the most part. But every just about everybody else other than, you know, depending where you are, like your editorial board is either like all the way to the right or all the way to the left. But for the most part, I'd say most journalists are definitely left leaning. Well, it's because they're in cities. Yeah. It's true.
Starting point is 02:04:56 Gareth Green says, I fundamentally disagree with your collectivist philosophy of the commons. I don't believe that anyone has the right to use anything they don't own. But that doesn't mean I can't acknowledge and denounce the suppression of dissent by social media i don't know i think uh i i don't believe we could function on i've argued with so many and caps and libertarians about the ownership of common resources and that the argument always comes down to like something simple like upstream water use and downstream water use and water rights and things like this. And we have to have some kind of agreement because if like I've been told someone could just own a portion of the river and do whatever they want. And I'm like, yeah, well, the people downstream are going to get angry when you take a dump in it and they're going to come up with pitchforks.
Starting point is 02:05:41 But it's my, you know, OK, look, there's a lot of arguments we have. I think there are common things we have to agree on otherwise i'll just buy the river because i have the power to do so you know what i mean i don't think you're an ancap or anything and you're looking at me like no no i'm just listening yeah so are you from the concept of the commons no like uh the town center like i'm learning right now so uh it's it's the shared resources of a local community, you know? So you build a bunch of houses.
Starting point is 02:06:07 There's an area that no one, you know, owns like it's a road or something. It's commonly used. One day someone comes and destroys it. Well, we take issue with that. So the way I describe Twitter and Facebook is that it's become the political space for,
Starting point is 02:06:22 it's the commons, meaning it's the area where we all gather to communicate and share ideas and what's happened now is where we used to go to churches and we used to go to town halls we now go on social media and it's basically akin to someone setting up giant walls around town hall saying you can come in to have a political discussion on the issues if you agree with our opinions so it's like well if i want to come and have a political debate to change the rules and the laws here and you're not letting me in because you don't like my opinions then how can i participate anymore you can't and then you get crushed out so i'm not a fan of monopolizing power in any capacity be it let be it free market be it
Starting point is 02:06:56 oligarchs be it government let's read some more let's we got here. We'll try and jump down and grab some. Poofy says, redeem these nuts. Hi, Poofy. For that very astute observation. Poofy's my operative at Don't Walk, Run. Poofy definitely helps me out with scripts and insight. And actually, I was talking about the electoral college the other day. And I was on the phone with her on discord and just like yelling at her. I'm like,
Starting point is 02:07:27 you don't understand. You don't understand. Like it's the state's rights. She's like, but like, you know, she, she agrees,
Starting point is 02:07:35 but you know, we had it. We had a little conversation. I love you. Poofy. You're awesome. Bucky Wilson. Could you guys plus gal recommend any resources to teach a beginner
Starting point is 02:07:46 start a business podcast stream 36 year old laid off second wave co 19 tired of working for people um the motley fool well i'll tell you i think too many people think i don't know everybody's trying to podcast right now podcast equipment got sold out the prices like elgato stream decks are through the roof my god decks are through the roof. Oh my God. Capture cards through the roof. And it was because it's something you can do
Starting point is 02:08:08 when you're locked in your house. Podcast. But I also think too many people look to popular mediums and assume it's something they should do or that, you know, listen. Just because you're seeing something doesn't mean you should be doing something.
Starting point is 02:08:21 You know what I mean? Yeah. I know a lot of people who wanted to be actors just because movies and shows are so prominent. And I'm like, do you like acting? No, but it's a good way to make money. I'm like, there's a lot of ways. You sell t doing something. You know what I mean? Yeah. I know a lot of people who wanted to be actors just because movies and shows are so prominent. And I'm like, do you like acting? No, but it's a good way to make money. I'm like, there's a lot of ways.
Starting point is 02:08:29 You sell T-shirts to make money. You know what I mean? So if you really do want a podcast, I would say you need a good capture card. The Elgato, what is it, 4K capture USB stick is pretty good. I use those when I travel, but we have actual PCI cards that go in the machine. Blackmagic has capture cards. Good camera doesn't even get you crazy. There's some good Sonys that are super cheap little handheld cams, and you can do
Starting point is 02:08:52 a micro HDMI to HDMI and get a good microphone. This is the SM7B, and it is just because everyone uses it. Everyone uses it, and I'm sure there are better microphones. But I like them. I like them. There's USB microphones you can, you know. But you don't need the best kind of equipment starting off.
Starting point is 02:09:09 No. Especially if you're starting off. Just try to focus on things that someone else is not doing. A lot of people try to be someone that they're not, and I think that's when they get caught up. A great book I would recommend, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I would definitely recommend that. And look for problems in our society and try to fix them. And those will lead to perfect opportunities for you to be an entrepreneur
Starting point is 02:09:31 because there's a lot of problems right now. There's very little people trying to solve them. You know how I got started? I had a GoPro 4, and I would just put it on top of the monitor and press record. That's it. It sounded awful. It looked weird. Whatever, man. I still monitor and press record. That's it. Well, it sounded awful. It looked weird. And whatever, man, I still use a webcam and it's OK and it's fine.
Starting point is 02:09:50 And the quality is there. But it really does matter about you as an individual being unique and accepting your uniqueness and doing something that someone else is not doing. That's the key. That's the recipe, in my opinion towards success yeah i i agree that you don't need i mean look at shoe on head i mean how long did she have that potato cam like for a long long time what do you mean oh i thought she upgraded did she yeah but uh but but it no it was i mean she would say it was you know it was and it had like you
Starting point is 02:10:23 know it was like 15 frames per second you know uh. It was – and it had like – it was like 15 frames per second. Not great equipment. But it's all about the content, right? Right. And not – I think talk about what you're passionate about. But this is not for everybody. Look, you've seen me on tonight. I'm not – I can't do this.
Starting point is 02:10:42 Look, he's got a little cat on his chest. But it's – it is not it is not for everybody it is not easy but you don't know unless you try you know i mean i had for a very very long time for about a year and a half i had about less than 600 subscribers but i wanted to do it i would it was just me being creative i never thought that I would be at now 420,000 subscribers. It's crazy, right? It's great for 20 men, you know, but I honestly, I, I just wanted to do it because I wanted to do it. If you, if you do do it, do not think, you know, it's not a guarantee that you're going to blow up because there's a lot of people to do it. So, you know, do it, do it because you want to do it, do it i do it do it because you want to do it do it don't do it because you think that it's going to be like a get rich thing you're going to be like the next
Starting point is 02:11:29 uh uh sour patch lids so that's right you can only aspire to be like me all right grant sheer says tim the bible says certain things will happen to jewish and christian nations that turn away from god ever since god started being removed from society those things have been happening google consequences of nations who turn away from god okay i guess i don't know um i've been here i've been hearing this more and more that people are claiming revelations is starting to happen but i wonder if it has more to do with political turmoil giving people anxiety so they're looking for the signs i mean they said back in the 80s that you know it was going to be the end of the world you know like pat rober. Pat Robertson saying like the – Yeah, there's always someone new saying that.
Starting point is 02:12:08 It's always the rapture is going to happen. I've been hearing that for a while too. Yeah. I remember my mom going, oh, I can't believe that we're in this time and it's not fair and thinking that the rapture was going to happen. I was just like, OK. Just because the man on TV said it doesn't mean it's gonna happen but you know she also thought there was gonna be like you know nuclear war too but that's
Starting point is 02:12:31 that's another thing we were close Vixen Valentine says I love the addition of Luke to the show adds a different viewpoint and very respectable knowledgeable man and he's gorgeous I hope he stays on side note did Luke name his dog yet you killed it for me because I was actually... No, Super Chat, because I was going to seg into that later when I talked about my Instagram
Starting point is 02:12:51 and I was going to be like, look at Luke's dog. Listen, we already said... It doesn't have a name. The largest Super Chat names the dog and people sell like 20 bucks and stuff and... You named it Grogu. Grogu, yes. like 20 bucks and stuff and uh you named it grogu grogu yes um well we're debating between atlas pooper freedom there's all their names and luke sage luke sage is one of them right luke jr she's a she's a really good no we named her fumble bump fumble bump it's perfect for an apocalypse
Starting point is 02:13:20 dog so a prepper dog so so the other day, Luke was trying to coax Fumble Bump to him with treats. And I grabbed this bag of Swedish candy, which the dog was not going to eat. And I kept jiggling it.
Starting point is 02:13:31 And she was looking back and forth. And I was yelling Fumble Bump. And he was yelling Freedom. She chose Fumble Bump. Oh, snap.
Starting point is 02:13:36 She picked her own thing. Well, because you had the snacks. He had snacks too. Oh. He had real dog treats. I had this Swedish candy the dog wasn't allowed to eat.
Starting point is 02:13:44 He had a cheat code. It was just something to shake. He had the cheating candy that the dog couldn't treats. I had this Swedish candy the dog wasn't allowed to eat. He had a cheat code. He had the cheating candy that the dog couldn't have. I see. Well, if you guys want to see the dog, go to my Instagram at Don't Walk, Run Productions. All one word. Don't Walk, Run Productions. I still need to get 10,000 subscribers so I can do polls and stuff. But the dog is very cute.
Starting point is 02:14:05 And it was... Two days, no potty mistakes at all. She already knows how to sit, how to lay down on command. But German Shepherds are smart by design. Like that's all in their genes. She's like 10 weeks now. So I'm pretty impressed.
Starting point is 02:14:20 All right, JM says, is there much difference between fringe Trump supporters who thought Trump was sending them secret messages to seize Congress and the left to accuse Trump of dog whistling them to attack Congress? The only difference is whether they like Trump or don't. Yep. Oh, man.
Starting point is 02:14:36 The live stream where they're like, Trump's going to be happy with us. Yes. They're both mentally ill. That's the problem. Dude, the thing is, though, guess which one gets banned? The right, not the left of course so these these conspiracy leftists who for years i'm not gonna name some of these people but some of these people have hundreds of thousands of followers they're verified and they say the stupidest and craziest things like steve bennett is facing the
Starting point is 02:14:57 death penalty for treason then lynn wood says mike pence is facing the death penalty for treason it's all nuts it's really crazy i mean i'll tell you man the level of unhinged psychosis that i've seen on social media in these past months have made me have some deep philosophical conversations about the right to access on a platform and whether or not we should just ban them all outright i'm like here's the compromise just ban it for everybody no one's allowed to use social media just go back to the days of radio or the record player like Joe Biden said. I mean, if we're going to ban politicians, let's ban all the politicians from using the platform. Seriously.
Starting point is 02:15:31 If we're going to expel Republicans, let's compromise. Expel all of them. And the Democrats, all of them. Start over. Yeah. I was watching some – I think I was watching fox and they were saying well how's the president going to communicate to people if he's not on twitter like he has a press office like it's not that hard you know like he still has a communications director well it depends if the
Starting point is 02:15:55 media decides to cover him because they were already fact-checking him in live time and cutting him off but of course they're going to cover him now because you know they need to maybe need to say every maybe they would they would maybe yeah joseph moore says tim how can people remain peaceful and say what happened in dc was wrong while also in the same stroke just say if things remain uh to course big tech will soon control all ways of life i don't think remaining passive will change where we are heading from fury quote ideals are peaceful history is violent history is violent But we're in a different technological age and I think that's the issue So I was saying this earlier on my show over the weekend. I did less segments partly because Everybody needs to chill and I was like, you know what man?
Starting point is 02:16:40 It's like people were screaming at the top of their lungs on twitter That's what I saw I turned on twitter and it was like That episode of rick and morty where the sun comes up and it's screaming the whole time. That's what happens when you open the Twitter app. It's like, I'm just scrolling. It's all I see. And I was like, I'm just going to do it.
Starting point is 02:16:54 I woke up in the morning and there were some things I felt like talking about. So I did segments. I said, I'm not going to read anymore. And we went to the woods. We threw rocks and skipped stones. Broke the ice. Broke some ice, yeah. There was no internet at all.
Starting point is 02:17:08 And we made a fire and we just kind of chilled in the middle of nowhere. And I was like, people need to relax, man. You need to chill. So I think, Mike Cernovich said it, get offline. Go to your loved ones and just drop this. We need to chill, pull back, and just calm down. The dog was running around. There was no service.
Starting point is 02:17:26 And I have to remind people, you've got to work on your mental health. When you're on social media, you're on a device that literally rots your brain and destroys your mental health. There's many studies showing this. Look into taking a day off, maybe. I mean, I started taking some days off because uh you you need to you need to decompress you need to get away from it all and i was very happy to have that nice nature day took a took the total day off um and also most importantly meditate nap whatever if ashwagandha is your thing do your do something that's good for you at least once a week because uh right now we
Starting point is 02:18:02 need it more than ever well i think one one way to approach things like Twitter is it's not real life at all. Just, you know, I get very argumentative on Twitter because it's fun for me, because I'm not taking it seriously. I like calling people out. I'm right all the time. But, I mean, that's fun for me. I think like parlor parlor is fine, but it's an echo chamber and that's what Twitter is turning into.
Starting point is 02:18:30 It's going to be an echo chamber with all these conservatives to fight with without Trump. You're out of a job. Brooklyn dad defiant, you know? Sorry. Next, next super chat,
Starting point is 02:18:40 please. Thank you. You're good. We're a little distracted. We're looking something up. Yeah. Somebody, somebody mentioned that all of Gab's tweets are now gone what what they they oh tweets on twitter right on twitter accounts there the tweets are gone which is weird weird yeah let's see destroying evidence right kledgy says ben shapiro is a rad dude yes he is j max's love him or hate him ben shapiro is one of the few pundits that constantly encourages his audience
Starting point is 02:19:06 to watch listen to his opposition and tells his listeners to come to their own conclusions that is the absolute right thing to do and so I try to make sure I do the same like oh yeah watching me you're that you're in bad shape you know you got to watch everybody I try my best but you know what ends up happening is I get
Starting point is 02:19:22 like I'm not going to name the personality I was like go check'm not going to name the personality. I was like, go check out this guy's video. He did a video very similar to mine, but he's on the other side of the opposite perspective. And then I got a bunch of comments from people being like, I watched what he was saying and it was all wrong and poorly fact checked. And I'm like, probably why I disagree with him. You know what I mean? So that's why I encourage you to go find out.
Starting point is 02:19:40 I'm just making this stuff up. But I get things wrong a lot. It's so weird that i'll be like here's what i think might happen and then i'm wrong and then like these leftists are like haha tim was wrong and i was like yeah i don't think i'm like the smartest guy in the world like do you think i think i am like i always call myself a dude who complains on the internet it was an opinion i know you know you're not you're not saying well this is definitely absolutely going to happen but uh my favorite is when i was like if trump appoints tulsi gabbard as
Starting point is 02:20:05 uh security advisor it could have happened andrew yang as economic advisor and then decriminalizes pot 49 state landslide and then they cut that first part out and then use the last part and it's like dude i'm talking about hypotheticals pertaining to riots and what might contribute to like a hypothetical historical moment you know what i mean well just just to jump on uh to add to tim's uh commentary here definitely look like read everything be like sarah palin read everything right uh i like one video that i did i i i needed like a breakdown of what was in bernie's medicare for all plan and the best analysis was on vox and i used it as a source on my you know i said vox.com did analysis and i got
Starting point is 02:20:56 so much pushback in the comments where they're like why are you using vox i'm like because it was a good analysis like you know they don't they don't not everything is bad that they i i love using left-wing sources when they're calling out the left because that creates it's kind of like a dude if vox is calling them out come on we're not making this up right right exactly and and and that's why i don't i generally you know when when i am doing sources when i am like trying to prove a point i will use use the Washington Post as much as possible or the New York Times or Vox or, you know, Salon or Slate or whatever, because it just it shows that I wasn't like, well, he's just getting all of his sources from Fox. You know, it's like that's not true. All right.
Starting point is 02:21:40 Let's see. Black Czar says progressives stating that they believe free speech is a human right while advocating for the removal of dissenting voices is not a contradiction. No, as they do not perceive such people as human. Only humans have human rights. I guess it's an argument. There's a big dehumanization agenda trying to make your political opponents look as ugly and as deceitful and as nasty as possible. Yeah. No, you're right. You're. Yeah. No, you're right.
Starting point is 02:22:05 You're right. I mean, you're right. That's it. There's a revolt. They're demanding to know what happened to Ian. Yeah. Wow. Ian was kind of off his game tonight.
Starting point is 02:22:16 Yeah. Honestly. Feeling sick? Yeah. I don't know. I walked off the show before when I had a big migraine. Yeah. So it happens.
Starting point is 02:22:23 He got a new gorilla, you know, and so maybe too much gorilla energy is kind of overwhelming him. It overwhelms him too much. Yeah, yeah, because now he had the glowing gorilla
Starting point is 02:22:31 and now the other. It's a lot of gorilla rage. They're both yelling and doing kind of the same thing, you know. I get it. Clayton says, tell Luke I joined CMU.
Starting point is 02:22:40 I want to start having an impact. Not enough people get real news. Thanks to all. You're greatly appreciated, especially Sour Patch Lids. Oh, thanks. Nice.
Starting point is 02:22:48 CMU is Change Media University. It's an online program that I have that teaches people the steps of how to be an independent journalist. Very cool. It's on wearechange.org, and we have a CMU section that you guys can check out. Sweet. I didn't know that. Let's see. Eric Miller says, I disagree with Luke.
Starting point is 02:23:06 There was many cultures because we had the internet and don't have the attention span to hold onto a culture for a decade. Could be true. I think you bring up a valid point. Social media is awful. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:23:22 What we're seeing is there was a dominant culture more so in each decade. And now we have fractured cultures because of the Internet. And so these cultures are fighting each other. The culture war. They don't agree with everything. People don't agree with each other. But there's no innovation.
Starting point is 02:23:39 That's the thing, in my opinion. It's a lot of recycling. Yeah. All right. Let's see. I looked up Gab. I can see their tweets. Oh, yeah. I's a lot of recycling. Yeah. All right, let's see. I looked up Gab. I can see their tweets. Oh. Yeah, I can see them.
Starting point is 02:23:48 All of them? What do you mean? I can see them. Fake news. Yeah, on my phone. Really? Sure can. Yep.
Starting point is 02:23:55 When I go on Twitter and pull up Get on Gab, there's three. Interesting. Well, there's three tweets. There are at least three. There's at least three. Are you seeing more than three on your phone? I thought I was seeing like 15. It could be that you have, so the Twitter app stores the data.
Starting point is 02:24:08 It's like a cache or something. Yeah, maybe so. Interesting. Yeah. Scott Brumley says, I canceled my Audible Amazon account, but left product book reviews posting what I would have posted on Parler if I could. Everyone should do this sort of thing. That's actually really funny.
Starting point is 02:24:23 Leave reviews of your Parler comments. Way to go. Good job. thing. That's actually really funny. Leave reviews of your parlor comments. Way to go. Good job. Wow. That's smart. You could use the comment section of a product as a feed to communicate. That's crazy. But eventually they would catch on and ban your IP probably.
Starting point is 02:24:37 But you just change it. And it's like you could say like, you know, follow me on, you know, the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone reviews. Yeah. And then you're just posting what you think. That'd be great. Yeah. Arguing with people. It has nothing to do with the book.
Starting point is 02:24:55 But it's a platform by which you can post things, you know? Luke, what famous literature should we follow you at on? 1984? Definitely 1984. And then when they sent to the comments on 1984 it would be glorious. Oh my goodness. That's just, oh my god.
Starting point is 02:25:16 We have to do this. There are 616 tweets from Gab. So we've been having some issues with the website because we just put it up so timcast.com we just launched someone saying it was working just a few moments ago just a few moments ago yeah okay yeah it's up yep so uh cool cool cool yes you could you could go i reloaded it you could go to gab we got to increase our capacity you could go to gab on twitter but you
Starting point is 02:25:42 could also go, uh, on YouTube and look at my website. That's true too. On my channel. It's Instagram. Uh, don't walk around productions. Thank you.
Starting point is 02:25:50 Excellent. Yeah. Very smooth. I like that. Or my Instagram, don't walk around productions, all one word. Gab.
Starting point is 02:25:57 Let's see. I'm not getting any money from Gab. A couple more superchats. A couple more. Technically correct. America Aegis says, Tim, what has stopped me from going out
Starting point is 02:26:04 and doing anything is financial responsibility to my family. I'm figuring out a way to fix that to protect my family. I'm here for America. Yeah. I think the best thing people need to do is get off social media and build local community culture, Little League Games, skate park. I went to the skate park the other day and it was like desolate. And it's kind of crazy, you know.
Starting point is 02:26:23 And a lot of people are saying, oh, but skateboarding's on the way i'm like it's actually not the olympics are getting skateboarding this time around it's a huge deal there's a lot of money being dumped into this so where are the events where people go to the parks whether you're barbecuing and having a beer if you can't i don't know if you can actually do that at the park or you're you know your kids are skateboarding and there's like an event going on we need more local events i guess covid has stopped that and it's like an event going on. We need more local events. I guess COVID has stopped that. And it's forcing everybody onto the internet where they're screaming.
Starting point is 02:26:51 Just opening up Twitter. Well, when I say that Twitter isn't real life, I've done man on the street interviews where I've said, you know, we just had an election. Did you vote? Yeah. Who's your state senator? Oh, Schumer. No. That's your U.S.'s your who's your state senator oh schumer uh no that's your that's your u.s senator who's your state senator and so many people don't know because a lot of people are like you look at twitter and you think the world is nuts about politics it is not uh normal everyday people care about like little league games and you know they're maybe like a local a local issue or
Starting point is 02:27:26 something but they're not super political like just watching a local news channel and it was just like police officers pulled over a man on 7th and main yesterday who was driving without a taillight and it's like i'm like wow the news they care about these small towns oh yeah well even i mean local news in general is pretty you know, when you talk about how journalism is, you know, dying, not for these local stations. No, no, especially local stations. Yeah, they're on fire. It's just because everyone's going national. All people follow on social media is national news. Donald Trump. But because of this, we're not learning about the things that are really in fact affecting oh yeah where we live that's that's that's really bad so this is what you do to save you want to save this country have local events to whatever degree you can with the covet lockdowns uh encourage people to meet talk to your neighbors just that kind of community gathering man it used to be at churches we're not a particularly religious country anymore
Starting point is 02:28:23 i mean we are still overwhelmingly christian but a lot of people aren't really practicing as heavily. And so the get togethers don't happen. We need that. You got to like the neighbors got to come together and have like a barbecue or something or have a party whenever. Yeah, exactly. When COVID it's destroyed. There's been also a cultural attempt to fracture the family. And we're at a point where family members are snitching on other family members that were in washington dc to the fbi and the mainstream media is glorifying that and promoting that right now
Starting point is 02:28:50 which just shows you the kind of in my opinion the larger narrative and agenda that's being being pushed by hollywood and and all these other very powerful institutions saying stay away from your family family bad and supporting this kind of individual lifestyle that is uh very uh just gluttonous and decrepit in my opinion creepy stuff yeah eric no no yes noise says why didn't i get a notification that you were live i had to come check your youtube channel yes but we're we're live monday through friday at 8 p.m so you know you can always just come to watch the show if you want to watch a show. And that's a thing. The biggest driver of views on YouTube is recommendations.
Starting point is 02:29:30 And natural pull is when people, that's the phrase for when someone says, I choose to turn this show on. For Tucker Carlson, he gets views not because it's being recommended, but because people every day say, I want to watch him. That is way more powerful than my views on youtube so i can sit here and be like oh i get millions of views per day on my show on youtube yeah but youtube's pushing it tucker gets people to come to his show so that's way bigger so if you like the show you just got to show up and also we're gonna have a bunch of exclusive content and exclusive live streams on timcast.comcom. It's going to have a membership section. And then we're going to be building up a lot of new stuff.
Starting point is 02:30:08 It's going to be really cool. But we've got this new area set up, this new venue. We're going to have a live stage and music. It's going to be fun. Streamed members only. And we're even going to invite people out here. You'll get to come to the studio if you're a member when we put up the tickets and we send out the email. But they are very limited.
Starting point is 02:30:23 So I imagine we're going to have a ridiculous amount of members and like 20 available tickets so become a member timcast.com same thing as saturday night live though you know you can wait in a standby line and never ever see the inside of uh 6a so yeah you know it happens but you know it just sounds really fun it sounds really cool i i'm definitely looking forward to set up and it's still a little bit cold so i don't know if we're gonna we want to set everything up just yet but we're gonna have we have an area for stand up sit down interviews and for music this little stage we built and it's like skateboarding and you know we're gonna have comedians and music and start getting that stuff set up too because we're a lot of the guests we have are musicians or comedians or even political
Starting point is 02:31:01 commentary so there can be a sort of stand-up political discussion not necessarily comedy but i think you would be really great at like doing a live version of one of your videos andrew where you like have like a screen and you break things down yeah maybe yeah it would be great and then people would come hang out have a beer it wouldn't be like a regular venue like people standing around having like burgers and sipping a beer but we stream it live and that's it you hear that i'm being invited so i'm holding that to you yeah it'll be great too and like i'm sure uh we'll have jack murphy around all the time jack's awesome people love jack so yeah so that's what we're getting ready for and uh it's funny the left is like really critical
Starting point is 02:31:39 of us having guests here but it's all within the covid guidelines and like we're like it's not it's like one guest at a time yeah we've got hand sanitizer and we clean things it's like i don't know what what do you think is going on it's like one person okay stop it stop it sorry i don't know you don't want to smell that microphone that's all i'm saying oh we have this is the alex jones microphone but we have the covers for for people and everything like that um i don't know the thing is going on we're not in the uk where it's like you can't leave your house you know what i mean yeah i don't know whatever but it's gonna be fun and i think the limit right now is 50 people and we're probably gonna have 20 which is totally
Starting point is 02:32:17 normal and like allowed no super spreader events here and And we'll take it seriously, you know. I'm not. All right. It's a good one, but I'm not going to read it. David Eliason says, I am a gorilla. I'm not going to read the rest of that. Deadbeat Gamer says, Tim, on the 20 max show, if they are fan funded for those who can't afford to go, 20 lucky fans could go on all expenses paid fan experience and a vlog of the whole experience would be amazing. Thanks for all the spice.
Starting point is 02:32:51 Yeah. Maybe we could actually do something like that where we could have like a lottery winner. I just, I just, I just hate lotteries. It's like you sign up and you're crossing your fingers hoping that you get to come and there's like 10,000 people. And then when you don't win, you get salty. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:33:06 It's a bummer. But I guess how salty would it be if like you're sitting there checking your email and the email comes in and you click it and your phone's like error loading because the site's overloaded. And just like with the PS5, it's also going to be annoying. It's real. I know. I know. Is anybody going to – I thought it was – look, I'm enough of an influencer that I get to see a Ben Shapiro movie early. But –
Starting point is 02:33:27 Ooh. But – Congratulations. You know, but – and thank you, Daily Wire. It is nice of you to think of me. But – and you got your money's worth because I talked about it on – That's right. On the top podcast.
Starting point is 02:33:43 What would you call this? Live stream podcast. The top thing on YouTube. It's a live stream podcast the pot the the top thing on youtube it's a thing yeah yeah the top thing you know you know the thing i do know people are saying that when they try to log into the website it's giving them an error well we will get take we'll take care of that immediately amazon just went up site just went up so we've got to upgrade our our hosting and it's it's going to happen. The secret to starting a business is always just start it. And then you've got to iterate and fix as you start getting through the bugs and stuff like that.
Starting point is 02:34:13 So when it went live, everything's working just fine for us. And I'm like, okay, we're good to go. And we're probably going to get inundated with so many people it's going to cause errors and crashes. And we'll get it sorted. Growing pains. It's day one of the site being up. You're not the Lotus Eaters. no oh yeah because there's it's like eight months before uh no carl's website's amazing no yeah well what happened was they um from what i understand they hired somebody uh they went live it kind of um you know hit the bed and they basically had to
Starting point is 02:34:44 bring in like people who actually knew what they were doing ah so this is Carl Benjamin's podcast Sargon of Akkad right
Starting point is 02:34:51 aka Sargon his great website yes the Lotus Eaters podcast I saw his website and I was like man this is really good I'm jealous
Starting point is 02:34:58 yeah and they have probably like the second best live stream slash podcast thing on YouTube it's doing really well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:35:06 It's nowhere near as good as we are. No, no. We're tooting our own horn, guys. But Carl's awesome. Carl, you rock. And he's had – his show has been skyrocketing. Yeah. Like in the rankings.
Starting point is 02:35:15 Way to go, Sargon. Yeah. Cool show for sure. And it's like – it's more British-centric, I guess, right? They cover a lot of – They cover a lot of stuff. They cover a lot of American politics, though. For sure.
Starting point is 02:35:24 Oh, yeah. Yeah, Carl always has. sure. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Carl always has. Oh, yeah. But like today, they covered the Pelosi coup. Oh, wow. And yeah, they cover a lot of American politics. But they're not stupid about it. They know what they're talking about.
Starting point is 02:35:36 All right. All right. We'll do one more super chat. The most important super chat. Nicholas Keller says, Tim, get those nerds to work. We need your site up now. Come on, man. I think we're on it. i think we're on it i think i think we are on it and uh that's what it's it's maybe we need to seriously upgrade everything
Starting point is 02:35:54 uh just because i didn't know how many people were going to you know come in and try and sign up immediately but it's probably more than we expected you're a popular person oh i'm so famous aren't i you're an influencer yeah i'm an influencer with so many oh you know what man it was so much easier when i had a lot less followers and i'm so humble no no but let's be real let's be real i remember when i had like 120 000 subscribers on youtube and i was living comfortably and i wasn't getting the flack and wasn't getting the smears and the attacks and the conspiracy theories and the threats and i'm like man you know more money more problems that song was right but uh you know it comes with the territory so you can some people can hang with it some people can't a lot of these journalists lose their minds because they get harassing emails
Starting point is 02:36:39 and i'm just like i just ignore it i just like filter words like if you email me with certain words it goes to the garbage pile yeah it's not real i mean you know if it's if it's a credible threat you know send it to the authorities but there's there's one thing going on right now that twitter won't remove and it's you know freaking out my family yep and twitter's like well we looked at it we're not sure yet we'll get back to you and i'm like well you know you know, thanks Twitter. I'd like to call an Amazon to suspend Twitter because they're refusing to moderate this activity. Anyway, if you haven't already, smash
Starting point is 02:37:11 that like button. Subscribe. Hit the notification bell. And I'm not entirely sure what's going on at the site because, you know, it's probably being slammed by everybody trying to sign up. But you can go to TimCast.com if not now, maybe later. Sign up to become a member.
Starting point is 02:37:26 We're going to have exclusive content. We're going to have exclusive live streams. Some of it's going to be silly. We're going to have vlog content. The vlog will be coming soon once we get to that point. COVID really jammed everything up, to be completely honest.
Starting point is 02:37:37 Made it really hard to expand, put pressure on Subverse, aka Scanner. And so we're getting things in order, but we'll see how it goes with Biden coming in. If we're going to do more lockdown or less, that's, you know, a big challenge. But anyway, go to TimCast.com,
Starting point is 02:37:53 become a member, sign up. If you are already someone who is giving on PayPal, you just need to request a new password and you should already be a member. And so this is kind of a, we think it creates a benefit for everybody who signed up early because you might get essentially some kind of discount i'm not entirely sure how it might work but if you're already donating to the old timcast.com slash donate then you're already
Starting point is 02:38:11 in the system and uh if it's not working now just check back later but also follow me on twitter instagram and uh i normally would say parlor twitter instagram and minds m-I-N-D-S dot com slash Timcast, where I do put up all my videos.

In the right-hand top corner, it's a way for me to actually have a list that can't be taken away from me, and I think that's really important.
