Happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen. We do the show, obviously, at night, so for those listening tomorrow, it's Friday. And I'm going to do intros really quick, because I'm going to jump right into the story. My friends, we are under attack! Someone is trying to sabotage the gorilla, and I will not stand for it. So let me just quickly announce, we got Lukrad Kowski hanging out. What? Is that all you're going to say? Sí, señor. Ah, okay, okay.

We got Ian. He's chilling. Hola. Yeah, it's just us tonight and Lydia pressing the buttons. Yeah, I'm over here in the corner. Because I'm outraged, my friends. We're just going to jump straight into this one

because this one is more personal. And we got a lot of news. We got a lot of news. You know, Joe Biden is... Marjorie Taylor Greene filed impeachment against him. We'll talk about this stuff. We'll talk about a lot of stuff.

We got the QAnon shaman is mad at Trump. He wanted a pardon. COVID'll talk about a lot of stuff. We got the QAnon shaman is mad at Trump. He wanted a pardon. COVID mandatory vaccines for all employees of United. Trust me, we've got news. But this time it's personal. My friends, if you go to timcast.com, okay, we have a new website set up where you can become a member and help support the show.

And we're trying really hard to make that a bigger part of the show for several reasons. It allows us to speak freely without fear of getting banned from YouTube because it's our own website, and it helps support us outside of these ridiculous ad sales and rules and all that stuff. Now, please go there, become a member if you want to support the show, but I bring this up because we also have an area called Shop, and when you go to Shop, you can purchase this ever so lovely I Am a Gorilla t-shirt. Trust me, this is part of the story and you're going to want to hear this. The gorilla t-shirt is a joke. When Alex Jones was on the show, he kept saying, I am a gorilla.

Kill yourself. Well, we didn't like that. Why? Well, because it's based on this book called Ishmael where this like spirit, what is it, Ian? A spirit gorilla? This guy was like seeking the meaning of life. He finds this gorilla who has telepathic powers and talks to him telepathically. Okay, like Gorilla Grodd from DC, I guess.

I don't know. He's a villain. He's basically what telling people that they're like a virus. Well, yeah, he's explaining the humans have kind of ended up becoming too much of takers in the world. And we're kind of destroying the planet now instead of how we're supposed to live symbiotically with it. Okay, okay.

So Ian ended up saying, I am a gorilla, love yourself. And so we thought that was funny. People in the chat kept saying, I'm a gorilla and posting gorilla emojis. And I liked the idea of focusing on getting back to nature, being responsible for yourself. Because when we had Jack Murphy here, I mentioned what Ishmael was kind of about. And when I said, get back to nature and get in the wilderness, maybe chop some lumber, Jack's like, that sounds pretty good. You know what I mean? And so so i'm like let's make a positive thing i don't do political shirts luke does

political shirts look look at the shirt he's wearing right now well well i get my shirt censored but that's a whole other story that we're gonna get into a little bit yeah but luke's got political shirts it's or it's orwell saying boy did i call it or what it's a great shirt it's a great shirt well the timcast irl shirts are not political and on purpose. We have one where it says silence accelerates victory. It's the old slogan from the U.S. Office of Censorship. It's about as political as we get. And it's the pyramid with the all-seeing eye being toppled over.

That was before IRL, right? Yes. That was something I made a while ago as just like I thought it was cool. It's like the censorship being knocked over. We'll win. That's about as political as we get because we have a cat we've got me with a pipe with bubbles coming out and shirts with beanies on them that's what you buy a shirt it's got a beanie on it so when we made the i am a gorilla shirt i put timcast irl on it and it's meant to just be a silly thing for

the fans people listen to the show no strong message i'm about to show you an image most of you probably have already seen me tweet about it. Because when I saw this, I was just like, I facepalmed. I'll admit, you know, I'm a pretty chill person. So I was laughing. But I was like, still kind of worried at this. Someone ordered this shirt, one of the first shirts to go out. And this is what happened. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the sabotage of the I am a gorilla shirt.

I am offended. The I am a gorilla meme was supposed to be fun and silly and family friendly. And it is just a drawing of a silly cartoon gorilla sitting there like, yeah, I'm a gorilla. It doesn't mean anything. Well, here's the image I got. On the left, you can see the original artwork. On the right, you can see what was delivered to someone who ordered the shirt. For those that are listening, I said, yo, Teespring, you want to tell me why our cartoon gorilla shirt became an effing blackface drawing?

How is this an accident? His hands were printed white and his face was darkened. This is the crazy thing about it. A lot of people have suggested that this was some kind of printing error. It wasn't. Now, the first thing I want to say, I've talked with Teespring and they're working on solving figuring out what happened. And it is definitely on their end, but not through their main company.

What they told me is they believe this came from a third party that they outsourced to. And look, I respect Teespring. I like them. I've sold shirts with them for a long time, and I have no issues with them. So I respect. They called me, and they were really apologetic. And they were like, we really want to get to the bottom of this. We don't like being called racists. And I was like, I don't I

don't want people walking around with Timcast IRL branding and this ridiculous image. Let me explain something. This is a picture of what looks like some it looks like a minstrel costume because the fists were changed to be white. The face is blackened, but you can see where the black on the face is, it doesn't reach all the way to the end of the face, kind of like blackface. So some people said it was a printing error. I don't know how that would be a printing error because you can see that there are certain colors that appear in certain areas and on other areas. How did they accidentally make the fists white and accidentally then make the face darker. Not only that, the color of shirt is gray. I don't offer we don't offer that in the Teespring store.

It seems like somebody purposefully altered the image and printed it on a shirt. Maybe I don't know what happened. Maybe someone thought it was a joke and they printed it out for their friends and then it accidentally got shipped out. Or maybe someone intentionally wanted people to be walking around with a shirt that says Tim cast IRL on it and depicts what looks like blackface saying I'm a gorilla. So look, I ain't all that mad. Okay. We all, we all kind of laughed and we're like, what are you going to do about it? You know, it's ridiculous. But the, the, the, the indignation you hear is because I think someone did it on purpose

and I don't think they did it because it was fun or funny. I think they did it because it would seriously hurt us. So when I saw this image get sent out, my initial reaction was, if this person didn't tell me and I didn't know and they didn't think of it, how long would it take until Media Matters or some leftist organization started saying that Tim Pool sells blackface shirts or whatever? It would probably take 10 seconds. So I immediately tweeted, nah, none of that.

You're not doing that on me. Not me. So then because of that, some people started photoshopping it and trying to sell it on other stores because you can't get it anymore. So I will tell you this. I talked to Teespring and they said it's not going to happen again. And I was like, cool. But a lot of people may have ordered it and it may have already been sent out.

So there may be 1,000 of these shirts circulating around with altered art. And I had no idea. Maybe they didn't all come from the same printing facility. But look, I'm trying to be nice to Teespring. You know, I understand their business. I understand they're scared of the accusations and cancel culture and all that stuff as well. But let me just, you know, make a few more points and then we'll point out what they've done with Luke's shirts. And that suggests that, well, I don't want to abandon, you know, Teespring over what a rogue employee may have done.

But I take issue with that. And I definitely think there's quality control issues. Because a few questions. Let's say it was an accident. Let's say it was a mistake. How did someone look at that and say, looks like the design the person ordered? Let's send it to them. They didn't even stop and say, yeah, that's definitely not the art it's supposed to be. They sent out a clearly defective shirt. But come on, the darkened face and the white hands. This was done on purpose, in my opinion. So look, I try to be careful and I can understand the people who run Teespring are probably freaking out and I feel bad for them. I do because they didn't do this. Somebody did, somebody at the company or through the company

did somehow. And so I just try to be nice. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I think moving forward for at least the TimCast.com store and for members, we'll probably print our own shirts and sell them manually because then we can guarantee this doesn't happen. Now, that being said, I'm sure there are a lot of people who actually really want one of these now because misprints end up becoming valuable or popular. And look, all that matters to me is I said, I don't condone what the person did with this art.

And I'm not going to risk me getting canceled by someone trying to accuse me of doing something if you find it funny, you know So be it whatever they're sold and a lot of people are probably gonna get them Um, I don't think you can get them now if you try to order But if you just want the regular one, which was supposed to just be silly and a lot of people are like it's a dumb Shirt, what's the point? I'm like that. It's not supposed to be anything special. It's just you watch the show. You like it I'm a gorilla have fun Now luke has his own encounters because they just took down your shirts like the other day didn't they well they took down 10 shirts and like yesterday right yesterday the shirt i was wearing

they took down after the broadcast and i'm like wait what i mean the the shirt that i was wearing the the one that said uh that had the npc saying, don't spread fake news because the mainstream media hates competition. It had all the mainstream media. They took that one down. And I'm like, hey, what's going on here? I have a puppy to feed. I'm finally back on my feet.

I'm finally doing well. I don't work for anyone. I volunteer. YouTube took away my demonetization. And now, out of everything here come these alleged snitches, and now they're taking away the main kind of income that I have. And I like wait what's going on here i reached out to them yeah the shirt you were wearing said don't distribute fake news the mainstream media will do it for you yeah why why would they take that down why would they remove that

exactly and they took down a lot of other stuff and they haven't been honest but you know being you know polish being very hardheaded and stubborn, I'm still going to keep moving forward. And even if I have to draw these shirts myself and ship them out to the people, I still will do that because a lot of people have been telling me I love these shirts. They help spread the conversation. I love talking to random people. People stop me in the middle of the streets to talk about, you know, the information the the larger kind of message that you're getting out there so uh i mean i'm i'm very happy that i bought the best political shirts.com that specific domain because now i'm just going to use it and whatever shirts they took down you

know i'm talking to them hopefully they will bring it back but if they don't i'm still looking for third parties i'm going to find a third party to work with. And then all the shirts that were ever banned, there were, I found out yesterday there was 10, 10 products banned. 10. I didn't even know about this. The emails are going to the spam box. And I was wondering, I was like, my store just looks kind of skinny there. So I'm very dissatisfied.

There's a lot of services like Teespring. And look, they just texted me and they said, you know, we're so sorry about this. We're going to work on it. We're going to figure out what the problem was and follow up with you. And I respect it. I do. I try to be nice. And I'm sure there's probably a lot of people that are laughing at how egregious this was.

And knowing that it's not intended to actually, you know, insult anybody or actually be racist, I'm sure a lot of people would like to have that shirt. Now, that being said, Teespring, like I said said they're not going to allow they're not going to allow any any more of these to go out and they're going to monitor them but considering some of the censorship we've seen from teespring i'll keep using them because they're integrated with youtube they actually are pretty good service i know a lot of people aren't the biggest fans of their shirts but luke mentioned that these shirts actually have been you know pretty good for a long time like they last a while. But that being

said, we're going to have to take the reins into our own hands if Luke can't criticize the mainstream media. Come on. You can't criticize the press. Maybe it's that you had their logos on the shirt. Well, they also took down my logo. So I had merchandise with my own original We Are Change

logos on there, and they took that one down as well. That's a good point. I respect that. Yeah, I think that might be it. But satire and fair use is allowed. Yeah, you can drink a Pepsi on this show and get ad revenue for it.

But Luke wasn't making fun of them. Yeah, as long as it's satirical, it's allowed. As long as it's Creative Commons, it's allowed. It was a new creation, clearly mocking the brand and in no way sought to monetize off of those companies brands if i took the cnn logo and was just selling the cnn logo then yes you can make that argument i stole their intellectual property but not when you have you know 25 other media organizations are you sure like can i put like it's so sure this is nintendo but like i'm pouring a cup of water on it? Yes, you can. Really? Yep. Because you've edited it. You've changed it.

So the question of copyright infringement is, are you infringing on their market? Famous story with Sargon of Akkad, Carl Benjamin, Lotus Eaters podcast. I always give a shout out to Carl. He took a video on YouTube from a left-wing

commentator, and then he took two cuts of it, just straight like cut and cut, and then titled it, I think it was SJW Levels of Awareness. She sued him saying, oh, you just stole my content. And a bunch of people were like, yeah, dude, Carl, like you did,

you're going to lose. And he's like, no, I'm not. I'm right. It's fair use. He won. Not only did he win, he won fees as well. She had to pay him on top

because you're allowed to criticize other people and produce a new product and monetize it if it's in the process of criticizing, mocking, satirizing. The big question when it comes to the court is, are you infringing on their market? So like Luke said, if you just sell shirts that say CNN, then you're taking money away from CNN who sells the same shirts. But if it says CNN and then sucks under it, CNN doesn't sell those shirts, and CNN's fans wouldn't buy them anyway. So you can do that. Yeah, we made a CNN logo that transformed into a toilet.

And I think they took that one down as well, and I'm like, what's going on here? And it's not just copyright. It's also our logos, our own independent art. They took down a whole bunch of other stuff, claimed it was copyright, but there is no possible way in the world that that could be true. And then we countered them on it. And this happened a couple months ago, and they still never responded to me. So I'm taking this very seriously. I'm very happy I have this new domain name because I'm going to be using it.

I'm going to make my own store. You know, maybe'll use them maybe i'll not we'll see if you guys respond to me but but just keep checking in on the best political shirts.com because if you want that shirt that i had on yesterday i'm working to make sure you have it one way or another even if i don't get any profit a lot of people want that shirt i'm gonna make sure you guys have it i got an idea for the i am a gorilla shirt we'll just make one where he's holding a rainbow flag. That's it. Perfect. So he's got his fist.

I just put a rainbow flag there and like, hey, we're cool. Or like a rainbow Chinese finger trap. He's like in it. Teespring takes like 85%, right? No, like 50 or so. Oh, that's not bad because they do 98% of the labor. Right. They take the order.

They ship it out. They make it and all that stuff. We were talking last night while we were on Twitch, Adam and I, about doing T-shirts here because I think this conversation came up. But the consensus was it's just a lot of work, especially the shipping. Yeah. But so if we do the limited edition stuff, like the tinfoil hat version, I'm going to get those made by a local small business. And then we're going to physically have them and we can sign them and then do a limited run members only. And then i think for

the shop we have on timcast.com i might just have to like maintain full control over this you know look i i misprints are fun like we play magic yeah you know for those that are familiar like card games like magic the gathering you get a miscut or a misprint they can be worth way more money this is probably the craziest thing to like look that's why i think it's on purpose the fact that there they say oh you know maybe it was's why i think it's on purpose the fact that there they say oh you know maybe it was a mistake i'm like come on there's too many things that had to go wrong for this to be a mistake that's what people need to know the wrong color shirt we don't sell yep the hands were accidentally made white instead of black and the face was darkened

to play devil's advocate maybe because the shirt was a different color the ink didn't print right on it but the hands are white instead of black that doesn't make sense it's like there's no ink where the hands are no there is there is ink it's white ink yeah yeah it's wild it's light and it's like a white shirt right no no it's a gray shirt it's the gray speckled whatever it's called it's called it's called heather so what i noticed about this was that the mouth was a different shape so i really no i don't think so i think you you're wrong. Tim thinks I'm wrong. Yeah, you're wrong.

It's the same... I think that somebody else went in there and they're like, I'm going to change this. Why would they change the vector of the mouth? I have no idea. They don't even have the vector image. They have a PNG. Why did they make it look like blackface? So changing colors is easy.

Changing vectorized shapes is not. They whitened a lot of black spots, but not the outline of the guy. It stayed black. I saw how it was designed. So the designer sent me an image of all the layers and broke it down. And there is no way that could have been an accident. So the ears are white. Why are the ears white?

The nose is white, too. Is that a throwback to Blackface? Someone said maybe it was inverted accidentally. Yeah, that's kind of what it looks like. But look at his forearms. The forearms are the same colors. Who did the printing? Did they tell you?

Their third party? They just... So at first, they told me that it was actually a totally different company that was ripping it off. And they sent me a link. And I looked at it. And at first, I was like, oh, whoa, is that what happened? But the person who bought the shirt is the designer.

And so I just asked the designer, did you buy the shirt? Yes. Here's the receipt. Do you have the packaging? Yes. Here's the packaging. the packaging okay well that's shady that they told you it was someone else i think no no i think they may have thought that was the case oh what actually happened was when i tweeted about it someone took a photo like photoshopped it out and then made a version but the font they used was different and so i told them immediately i was like look i was like i got the package i got the got the receipt. The font is different. And they were like, well, can you verify?

And I was like, I'm not going to accuse one of the people who contracts the designs for me of lying to me. Like we've gotten art from them before. It's been fantastic. We've like, this is, I thought it was a great shirt. There's no way when, when we, when, when I don't even sell that color of shirt on my Teespring store. And so they were like, you know, we're looking at it.

We have a task force on this. They were freaking freaking out they said like the whole country woke up you know like everybody's because i tweeted like dude this is not on me i'm not i'm not taking heat for this one that's on you man cancel culture is going crazy right now and i'll tell you i'm maybe i'm a little paranoid but they're looking for any and every reason to ban people i think you did a really good thing by tweeting it out immediately. As soon as I saw it. Yeah. Because they're looking for reasons to ban people.

We already had Media Matters claim that we were pushing fake news in some video because Jack Murphy said that Donald Trump said something. He's like, Donald Trump was talking about this, that, and this.

And so they were like, they're pushing lies. And then they lied. Media Matters said the ads have been roofed. They weren't. But you know what happens is they put, I asked them for a retraction twice and they've ignored me what happens is media matters will put out a story saying these channels broke the rules and then they'll start sharing that article to try and get in wikipedia trying to get other

outlets to write about it tim pool who's known for breaking the rules blah blah when it never happened and so now i have to closely monitor this stuff because if we actually sustain damages and these lies become pervasive, what's this media matters thing? I haven't heard of it before. They wrote an article claiming that on one of our videos, one of our segments, Jack Murphy said that Donald Trump was speaking and gave examples of voter fraud, like out of state voters and things like that. Giving an example of what voter fraud is, is not us asserting that widespread voter fraud caused anything to happen. And so they claimed we were pushing lies.

They also referenced an incoherent super chat that I read that you couldn't really understand and then said because of it, YouTube took our ads away. That's not true. Who runs Media Matters? It's a bunch of activists. But what happens is they create that narrative and then other leftists who read that will be like, oh, Tim, they said the ads were removed on the video. And they said, oh, oh, the ads got removed.

Tim Poole's was penalized by YouTube. And they'll try and create the narrative that YouTube is punishing. No, YouTube did not. The podcast was fully monetized. And as of right now, the video is fully monetized. So I don't know. How did they know that? Well, I think someone at YouTube probably told them that.

And whatever their point is, I asked them to retract it and they didn't. Can you toss me some of that collagen? This is not collagen. That's the MCT? Yeah. I'm going to put it in my coffee. Do it. Thanks, dog.

Free side. We're not plugging these guys tonight, but I'm putting some NCT oil in my coffee. Well, because we actually just eat the stuff. Because it's amazing. Anyway, look. The point is, when it comes to this I am a gorilla thing i don't know who did it or why i don't i'm not i don't care i'm not i'm not taking heat for somebody walking around wearing that shirt and then them being like oh look at the shirts he's selling all it takes is like one

dummy to wear it at one really bad rally with a really bad sign and you're you know labeled with it so we've seen a kind of transition and a trend online that's really worrying where you have to be responsible for every comment you have to be responsible for every viewer you have to be responsible for people who consume your content now which is absolutely insane and it's impossible and it's selectively enforced because they could say look who's watching your channels this is why you don't have a discourse i don't have a discourse because people could discord because people could just go on there and they could false flag it with a whole bunch of crazy messages and say look this is this is your people

look what your people and i remember a couple years ago them trying to do this on me and it backfired with just salacious insane text of individuals blaming one race of people and i'm like wait wait this doesn't represent me i'll tell you i'll tell you something funny i had a discord for a while and i got rid of it because we kept getting raided you know people would come in and try and break the rules you agree to the rules and they would come in and they would post insane garbage and i'm like dude i'm not dealing with this the moderators couldn't deal with it but what happened was this left wing group, I actually know one of the founders, it's called Unicorn Riot, had archived the entire discord and took a segment of me talking where I was criticizing Vox.com for publishing white nationalist propaganda. And they cut out the

parts where I was saying, how could Vox say these things is ridiculous. Vox is being so racist. And then just took the parts where I literally quoted the vox article to criticize it and claimed i said it yeah that's what these people do i like unicorn riot yeah yep yep and i know one of the founders and i've known for a long time why did they do that because these people are they're they're zealots they're they're authoritarians and they believe that they're morally justified in evil because they're the end results for them and they believe that they're morally justified and evil because they're the end results for them is good wow so they took me literally saying hey guys look at vox promoting white nationalism these people are disgusting and then clipped out my criticism and

tried to make it seem like i was the one so what happened was vox.com had a doc of psychologist a doctor write an article where he literally claimed that uh vox.com claimed in an op-ed from a psychologist that jewish people according to vox inherent inherit genetically and this is what vox said their materialism and i said that's insane oh that that seems insane you see how i had to break it up to avoid the out of context polling that's what they'll do and don't don't. They'll still chop it up. So I'm like, I think that. Inherit is a weird word because you inherit money from your parents.

Well, inherit is the genetic. Genetic inheritance is a little different. So I said, here's what the doctor said. Oh, my God, that is insane. And they took out all of my critique and just took the quote from the doctor and claimed the quote from the doctor was from me. I'm not a PhD researcher who writes for Fox. Sorry, guys. But they knew my name was next to it they posted a screenshot look what tim pool said and it works yeah it's crazy that we're living in a world where the mainstream media

is literally paying people to watch everything we say and it's at a point where they can't even critique us so they invent things to critique us on i remember people being like look at your followers look at at your followers. Look at what your followers are saying. Look what the comment section of your YouTube channel you're saying. And I'm like, I'm responsible for that now? They're like, yes, you are 100%.

Literally, you look like you have something to say. So Luke, do you think this is maybe because they're making these things publishers? They're not platforms anymore. You are responsible for everything that happens there. Do you think that's part of it? Well, that's another argument about section, what argument about Section 230 that everyone's talking about. But before we even go there, we have to understand these are institutions, the mainstream media that told us

that there was weapons of mass destruction, that told us that bankers deserve bailouts in 2008, that told us the air was safe to breathe on 9-11. They have zero to little accountability at all for their grotesque lies that lead to tremendous human suffering. But yet, we have to be criticized for comments on our YouTube videos? Are you kidding me? It's obvious, dude. What did the Babylon Bee say? They put out a joke. So I don't know if you guys heard the story that the National Guard was forced to sleep in a parking garage with no bathroom.

With one bathroom and only two stalls. With 5,000 soldiers. 5,000 soldiers. One power outlet. In a parking lot. And so the Babylon Bee said, Joe Biden asks National Guard to be patient until he can send them to Iraq. While they sleep in parking garage until he can send them to Iraq. So the reason I bring that up is there's a reason why they'll do everything in their power to get us taken down. Now, if we play by the rules and we don't violate community standards or whatever, it's really difficult.

Sometimes they take down channels arbitrarily, hoping they can get away with it. And then when there's a backlash, they put it back up. The mainstream media and the establishment elites want to be able to yell that we need war and lie about weapons of mass destruction to get us into war. And they don't like it when independent media challenges that narrative. Or chemical weapons attacks in Syria, which after further investigation was found out to be absolutely lied about by the establishment and the mainstream media and all, of course, these neoconservatives and the State Department and Department of Defense. But you can even go back to the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

What got us involved in Vietnam. Widely believed. I'll still be careful. It was just, it never happened. They claimed the U.S. was attacked. It wasn't. They needed pretext

for getting us involved in Vietnam. So when we can pull up the actual research, and I'm not talking about conspiracy theories. I'm talking about, you just Google search the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

Read Wikipedia. Wikipedia says all of this. It's easier when the New Yorkork times can say they're weapons of mass destruction it is harder when there are channels like this going can you prove it yeah before you commit our troops to death can you prove it even then hold on hold on i just want to make a point before going right to you ian there was even whistleblowers there was people within our government during that entire phase screaming like hey there there is

no evidence at all that there's weapons of mass destruction there was voices i remember being at one of the largest demonstrations ever in american history in washington dc hearing from whistleblowers within our government warning us that this was a lie they were all ignored by the mainstream media the internet was still coming up that's how i heard of it that's why there was a large demonstration and and yet still we went forward with this it's ridiculous sorry and go ahead gulf of tonkin was a conspiracy by the government they conspired to produce this fallacious art uh thing so there there are government conspiracy i mean that is an the gulf they admitted yes we conspired it didn't actually happen i don't think they admitted i think it was uh journalists uh daniel ellsberg did he come out in the pentagon papers was it revealed it may have been actually

i'm not entirely sure it was the uss maddox incident an international confrontation that led to the uh direct engagement into vietnam it involved both a proven confrontation on august 2nd and an unlikely confrontation on august 4th so that's why i try to be careful because you know even you go to wikipedia but there we were told over and over and over again what you know that we had been attacked and we had to we had to go in and now you know decades later they say it we don't even know if it happened at all so what do they specifically say there were no u.s casualties it was originally claimed by the nsa that a second gulf of ton Tonkin incident occurred on August 4th as another sea battle. But instead, evidence was found of Tonkin ghosts, false radar images, and not actual North Vietnamese torpedo boats.

In the 2003 documentary, The Fog of War, the former United States Secretary of Defense, Robert S. McNamara, admitted that the August 2nd USS Maddox attack happened with no Defense Department response. But the August 4th Gulf of tonkin attack never happened the nsa claimed it did and then they admitted in 2003 well it was a former former guy wasn't he he said he was out of the military former yeah robert mcnamara was was he the who yeah yeah what did he what he did something else this name's familiar sometimes i wish i was 80 years old but yeah in 2003 yeah it never happened. Dude, they conspired. Government conspiracy. And you have to understand, what led to that? What were the larger consequences of that?

Let me just still be reasonable, I guess. Or they're just really bad at what they do. They're wrong. That's always a possibility. It is. And, you know, Hanlon's razor, never attribute to malice that which can be explained through incompetence. Lyndon Johnson really wanted us into Vietnam.

A lot of people wanted us in because they were afraid of the russian and his secret war in cambodia and laos i mean when you look at the atrocities that were committed in our name because of that single incident especially in vietnam the millions of people affected the millions of people still affected by agent orange and the chemical warfare that was launched on the vietnamese people on innocent by Agent Orange and the chemical warfare that was launched on the Vietnamese people on innocent bystanders. Holy freaking cow. The American young men who were drafted to go and fight in that and then spent lives with injuries, with permanent disabilities and all of that stuff. Coming back, watching their friends die, that was some sick stuff that we got ourselves into. It's like we barely hear some of what those guys have gone through

like to be overrun to be in a in a hole at night in the middle of the night waking up every two hours and it you got to listen to vietnam veterans talk about their yeah for what to stop the spread of communism in vietnam maybe or maybe it was a financial thing it was kissinger's limited war they we didn't want war with russia we didn't want to bomb Moscow, so we were going to fight them in Vietnam. Well, those are little proxy wars. Those proxy wars are still continuing. They were supposedly based on ideologies, communism versus capitalism. In reality, it was empires vying for power. It's exactly what's happening right now in Syria, in Yemen, what happened in Libya, what happened in Iraq, what happened in Afghanistan.

All of that are powers vying for more power, vying for geopolitical hegemony and control of not only trade routes, but important national resources, which, of course, they're doing anything and everything for, including sacrificing the lives of your sons, of your daughters, of your children for profit. Let's roll with this. Do you know, you guys know what the Berlin Wall is? Yeah. So we'll talk about the Cold War and the US versus Russia and Vietnam.

But you guys listening to this, you're going to love it. Do you know what it was called in East Germany? No. It was called the Anti-Fascist Rampart. How nice. The Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart. The Berlin Wall. I saw a photo someone posted on Twitter of people carrying just two bags running full speed because that was when they announced

they were going to be erecting the Berlin Wall. And people ran desperately to get to East Germany because I'm sorry, West Germany, not to East Germany, to West Germany, because they realized what was about to happen. And then someone posted a photo of the first person to die at the anti-fascist protection rampart it's really funny about the anti-fascist protection rampart is that people they weren't protecting anybody that the wall wasn't protecting east germany it was keeping the people in like a prison and the first person to die was trying to escape I read one story about a dude like took a hot hot air balloon over it or whatever wow people were so desperate to get out of that place look I can understand why the U.S. was so adamant about

fighting Russia I'm sorry the Soviet Union on so many fronts because you hear stories like this but I want to make sure we remind everybody just read about this GDR authorities officially refer to the Berlin Wall as the anti-fascist protection rampart. In German, the antifaschistische Schutzwall. Brilliant. So the antifa rampart. And so now you have people in this country went through to stop this narrative, this line of anti-fascist, the Soviets, the Berlin Wall, that we fought a cold war, you

know, whatever, whatever, whatever that means by fighting it. And there were several times where we nearly we nearly annihilated the entire planet. You guys know that story about like the guy in the submarine, the Russian, the Russian guy. And then like they got a notification, like an alert that U.S. had fired nukes and he refused to retaliate and it was a false alarm we were on that we were on the brink of something truly catastrophic and what we're seeing now with antifa is insidious and it's it's it's it's getting mainstream support we'll see now now they're kind of getting banned and stuff and getting struck and down so his name was Vasily Alexandrovich Arkhipov.

Yes. And he was a Soviet Navy officer. Yeah, man. I just looked up. Yeah, he's attributed to saving the world. Russian submarine guy. And you'll find him on Google. He refused.

He's like, I'm not. He was misinformed and told to fire. Well, there was a technical error. And there was a warning saying Russia is under attack. You have to follow protocol. Protocol means launching an attack back. Launch an attack back. Now, all of his higher commanding officers told him to do it.

He refused to. He's like, that doesn't feel right. Yes. And then luckily, he made the right decision because we would have been in, according to the official version of events that we we're hearing in an absolute nuclear war that would have devastated and we probably wouldn't be here now if that was the case because i mean we're talking about thousands of nuclear weapons between russia and the united states they openly test them in the desert in the united states and we're talking about uh you know weapons that will bring us back to the stone age and now these are the same weapons yeah these are the weapons that now joe biden has that is fragile uh quivering well

shaking fingertips yeah yeah i'm not super worried about this idea this you know oh no now you know trump's got the nukes now biden's got the it's just too much power in my opinion yeah i don't care if it's i don't care if it's biden I don't care if it's Trump. That's way too. You have you have a button that could wipe out the entire world 10 times over and also other planets like that's too much power for one person. I was thinking we'll look back on humans and be like, that was the time when they still had one guy leading all of them like a slave driver. They had a governor leading.

We had that one guy would control them all. That was so crazy. That's an overstatement. joe biden has power but but then we have governors and then we have mayors like we have a system where we give all the power to one person where then they get to control all this all of us symbolically represented i mean the guys in black suits really have the power but but but i mean we have three branches and even every state has three branches not the well the governor has massive power, though. And the courts can overrule them and the legislatures can overrule it.

Should they have to? Yeah, they should. Should that system be in place where one guy can do crazy stuff all the time? And then, yes, we have to have all these groups in courts like. Yes. Do you think that the system requires an individual to have that? Why? Because direct democracy failed every time it was tried.

And anarchic societies collapsed every time it was tried and anarchic societies collapsed every time it was tried. I wouldn't assume the only other option is direct democracy though. What's the other option? Direct republicanism. I already mentioned that before.

The reason we have three branches is because in a system with distributed decision making you can't respond to threats fast enough. That's kind of where I hit the wall.

The threat. Like the military threat. What do you do when there's a military threat? That's why we have a commander-in-chief. You have to have a commander in chief. You have to have one commander.

Who can pull the trigger and has a plan. But maybe the commander in chief shouldn't be the president. No, I think it makes perfect sense. Well, now, guys. He only runs the executive branch. Meaning he can tell the DEA not to arrest people for pot. He can't change the law, though. So the courts can still overrule his executive orders.

I think it was a brilliant system. The problem is, over time, too much power is being coalesced in the executive branch. And that's why there was a light at the end of the tunnel for the Trump administration. He forced the federal government to attack the executive branch like crazy,

taking away powers from the executive orders. It was hilarious watching the establishment have to destroy what they've built for so long. Now, of course, Biden's rebuilding it like crazy. And that's why I didn't want to see him back in the presidency. Our system's not perfect, but it's getting almost there. It's pretty good. It's pretty legitimate if it's actually run the way it's supposed to be

and not by special interests and lobbyists and guys with black suits with special interests. But guys, don't worry. Everything's going to be fine because we right now have a very diverse former board member of Raytheon that now runs the Pentagon. So now the bombs that are going to be dropping inside of the Middle East, they're going to be very woke bombs, you know, filled with LGBTQ slogans. And everything's great, guys. I got I got one better for you. That may be Luke.

But the good news is from News 9 ABC, Rep Green files articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden. And is that her? Is that her? She's wearing a mask that says Trump won. Yep, that sounds like her. And that's really it. She's citing Burisma and the Ukraine scandal. And I believe she mentions Russia and China and the Bidens enriching their family. You know, I talked a bit about this earlier today, and I'm not sure I'm all that interested in what and the point of it, because a lot of people don't know this. The Democrats actually filed for impeachment of Trump several times in December of 2017.

They introduced articles of impeachment. They got 58 votes. It was shot down by almost everybody, but they really were trying to impeach Trump before he did anything. I don't see the point of this. I mean, maybe it sends a message. If you're going to accuse Trump of doing something, we'll then impeach you for the same thing. And when you strike it down, it proves the double standard.

Maybe that's the reason. If it is, I just say this, like, we know there's a double standard. It's not a compliment. It's so petty. Like, it's like if a kid spits on a kid and then the other kid's like, and then spits on him back. Like, come on. Didn't Jesus teach you anything?

Turn the other cheek. Boom. Jinx. You owe me a Coke. I don't see what it would really accomplish. I understand it'll feel good. I'm sure there's a lot of people who are like, yeah, you show them. We'll impeach you back.

And I'm sitting here like, I'm looking at a chessboard, bro. And when someone makes a move and you just copy that move, you're not really going to win. I mean, some people do play that. Well, they'll just try and copy their opponent, try and find a weak point or something. But in terms of like actual strategy, you want to be thinking about what they're going to be doing next and not just following behind them. It's symbolic, just like most politics.

It's all a horse and pony show. But who knows? Maybe the Democrats will take it seriously we'll impeach biden to have the kamala presidency which potato potato whatever uh but uh obviously this is just you know people vying for attention vying vying for media clicks and it's getting clicks we're talking about it and uh again it's not really going to achieve anything she's going to be on the show one day and you're going to have to call her Kamala. Oh. Maybe not. Yeah.

I don't know about that because then she might arrest us to use some machine labor. I think the thing is, that's the problem. A lot of these people are cool in person, but the system is so psychotic. I don't think Kamala is cool in person.

I think most people are pretty cool. Obviously, everyone's got their issues, but when you get them one-on-one, most people are pretty much the same. Well, she's a careerist. She'll do anything, too. Most people. she's a careerist. She'll do anything, too. Most people. She's a careerist.

She'll do anything, anything to make sure her career gets progressed. And Luke means it because everybody knows her history. Yes. And we don't want to get into it. You know her history? I know a little bit of it. Yeah, tell me. Well, she was in a very affectionate relationship.

It was Mayor Willie Brown, right? Yes, that's correct. Yeah, he actually talked about getting... What? Tell the kids. Family-friendly show. Explain to the children what he did. Let's just say there was an explanation of some unfamily-friendly things that helped Kamala Harris move forward with her career.

But they say that she slept her way to the top. Yes, correct. Well, to start. I've heard that. And I know that she kept people in prison in California that were just to make the company profit.

Can you tell me about that? Well, to make them fight fires for a dollar an hour. So a lot of people don't realize this. Kamala Harris was accused by Tulsi Gabbard and many others

of keeping people in prison longer than they should have been in exchange for to use them for cheap labor. There's two things they don't realize. First, they weren't supposed to be released. They had parole opportunities. And Kamala Harris was like, nah, don't let them go.

Why? We need people to fight fires for free. Look, if you want to tell somebody we're going to make you, you know, clean the road or make shoes or license plates, that's using them for cheap labor. Telling them we're going to keep you in prison and then make you risk your lives in a wildfire is slavery. Was it like confirmed that she specifically denied parole because she wanted them to stay or did she deny them parole and then it was convenient?

Well, it was to further her career because as a prosecutor, if she got losses, if she got her victories overturned, she didn't look as successful as she would against all the other prosecutors who had more convictions than her more successful cases. And this is the kind of psychotic nature of American prosecutors believing that they always have to win regardless if the person who's being convicted is innocent or not innocent. That's just crazy to think of that this is incentivized in a way where people really pay the ultimate price with their freedom, with their life over someone's career. And sadly, a lot of people choose career over doing the right thing. And a lot of those people are rewarded. And Kamala was rewarded.

It's way too many people who would do it yeah way too many people so i i see some of the same thing where we are like okay it's a short term you probably shouldn't do the short-term thing just to make yourself feel good i think that kamala did a lot of the short-term thing just to make herself get ahead and just like this is how i'm gonna rise to the top it's by lying it's by doing takers unnice things to unnice people what does she lie about so she she she what she did was she she took horrible advantage of the the prisoners in california like she took she she laughed about arresting parents yes because they're homeless women because their kids wouldn't go to school and things like that she she arrested tons of

people on pot charges and then laughed about you know how she would smoke herself she hid evidence she hid evidence from from people that she knew were innocent just to further her career yeah yeah and then she later was like i'm so sorry that happened it wasn't my fault it was a staff member one of her staff members tried evidence no no no i'm sure well look if you were to ask me it was her and she was proud of it up until look, if you were to ask me, it was her. And she was proud of it up until she realized if you want to run on the Democrat ticket, you need progressives behind you. You got to pretend to at least pander to them.

You know what I mean? So she can't come out and be like, I'm all about locking up innocent people. They wouldn't vote for that. She has to pretend to be on the side of justice. Well, no one voted. Well, I guess technically they voted for her ticket now. Yeah. No one voted for her in the primary. Not no one, but very few people. No one. Okay. yeah no one voted for in the primary no no let's let's be real no no one

okay not no one i would say probably 25 percent of people only 25 percent of those who voted actually voted for joe biden and kamala harris why because of all those sweet beautiful votes that biden and kamala got those were actually votes against trump it was the media narrative it was driving people as hard as possible it It was a tremendous effort. And my respect to the Democrats are pulling this one off of early voting and mail-in voting and these initiatives they got past. And you know what? A lot of Republicans actually helped him. And that was the secret. But I would say the overwhelming majority of people who cast a ballot for Biden don't care about Biden, don't like him, don't know what he wants. I'll tell you what's really funny someone asked a journalist asked the press secretary about joe biden's stance on abortion and she goes well um

i'll tell you he's a devout catholic thank you oh and then everyone's like oh she dodged the question she doesn't want to admit it and i'm like no dude she doesn't know the answer because joe biden didn't campaign on anything he was sleeping in his basement hoping people hated trump enough to vote for him instead. Was it New Yorker? They said, stay alive, Joe Biden. We just need your corp. Yeah, the Atlantic. Stay alive, Joe Biden was the name of the article.

We just need your corporeal form. That's insane. They wanted Kamala Harris to be president. And Tulsi Gabbard, she fired off a nuclear bomb. Took out Kamala Harris' campaign like that. It was beautiful. It was fun. It was fun. Totally beautiful. Well, they were all bringing themselves down.

Kamala went hard after Joe Biden. You know, I can't even mention what she called him. She's the... You can. She's the first vice president to have stated she believes... I can't say it. It's funny. That she believes Joe Biden is a sexual abuser. Yes. So she was one of the first people to come out and say that publicly.

To answer your question, Ian, I met a lot of politicians. I've been around them, especially when I was confronting them. But when you look them in the eyes when you're around them, you feel a certain energy when you meet new people. A lot of them are really dark, empty people that have a very negative vibe, to say the least, when you're around them. That's just eerily and creepy, especially individuals like Henry Kissinger. I talked to him about six times. Every time I looked him in the eyes, it's this like insane, nasty energy. You know, you talk about energy. A lot of people are just energy. But there is something to say about when you meet someone, you either like them or don't like them right away when you first meet them based off either uh you know your subconscious

your micro expressions or some people say something even deeper you know your kind of energetic field that that you represent that you are your your vibe as as some people say yeah like if you you can tell if someone likes themselves or hates themselves when you meet them and it's subtle but like if you get that dark energy, usually because they, they don't like something about who they are, what they've done. And like,

if those people are doing sadistic things because of the system that they're a part of, then they probably hate themselves deep down. Or like, how can you not, how can you not knowing that there's so many people suffering because of your actions, your consequences that you could have helped.

You could have literally taken people out of jail that were innocent, save them, but you kept them in there in horrible, unspeakable conditions to further your career. Donald Trump could have done it. Yes, in so many different ways. Yeah, he could have pardoned a lot of people and he didn't do it. Yeah. Yeah. So I've never really had a whole lot of confidence in the system that's why i never really bothered to vote until this past few months donald trump winning convinced me that voting mattered because i'm like wow they're freaking out voting really had an impact you know and then he lost and then on his way out he didn't he didn't drop the hammer man it's a it's a bummer he did the opposite he hit himself with the hammer, man. It's a bummer. He did the opposite. He hit himself with the hammer. Yep.

He beat himself senselessly and everyone's looking bewilderingly like, what? Why? But first he melted the hammer into the shape of a Q and then he hit himself with it. Yeah. Well, check this out.

From modernhealthcare.com, HHS freezes rule targeting community health centers and drug discounts. Now that title alone probably doesn't say a whole lot to you. Probably like, Tim, what is this story? This is a story about essentially Joe Biden signing an executive order that reverses Trump's rules to reduce the cost of EpiPens and insulin. Long story short, it would seem that Joe Biden is trying to make insulin and EpiPens more

expensive. I'd like to give a round of applause to all the leftists who want universal healthcare and cheap, low-cost goods for your vote for Joe Biden, which results in the cost of life-saving medications going up. Do you guys remember that story about the guy who was on minimum wage or whatever, and he couldn't

afford insulin, so he was, like, not buying enough, and then he died. He was diabetic. No. And people were like, he needed, he tried launching a GoFundMe to raise, like, 30 bucks or 50 bucks to buy insulin, and he couldn't do it, and then he died. was diabetic no and people were like he needed 30 he tried launching a go fund me to raise like 30 bucks or 50 bucks to buy insulin and he couldn't do it then he died it's horrifying story man so sad there's like someone just being said please man i just need my medicine making me think of martin shkreli that uh yeah the pharmaceutical rep pharma bro yeah he jacked the price up on certain drugs like 7 000 or something i don't remember the number there's also another viral video showing a young mother crying because she can't afford the medicine for her child and a lot of people

are sending this video being like why isn't this problem being addressed why why are medical costs so high comparatively to so many other places in the world it's insane it's almost criminal in some ways some of it some of the arguments are bad some of the arguments are good like when trump signed the executive order saying you in canada you can get insulin and epipens for dirt but in the u.s they're ridiculous price too so high because of this weird broken system we have so we signed this executive i don't know it's let me read this let me read this they say hhs signed off on a rule in december shortly before uh donald trump left office it aims to lower patients out-of-pocket costs by forcing community clinics to pass their drug discounts. The rule requires federally qualified health centers

to give their discounts to the uninsured. It was originally set to take effect January 22nd, but HHS delayed it until March 22nd. The Biden team could eventually withdraw the rule to prevent it from taking effect at all. So I guess they've put a hold on it. Trump was trying to make sure, as people on the left were demanding universal health care,

notably saying insulin and EpiPens. So Trump was like, I'm going to sign this saying you can get cheaper drugs. Joe Biden's like, nah. You know why? Because the pharmaceutical companies are lining his pocket with gold. It's kind of weird because Obama was all about

lowering the cost of drugs. He said that. Yeah, at least he did. He said that a lot. It seemed like that weird because Obama was all about lowering the cost of drugs. He said that. Yeah. At least he did. He said that a lot. It seemed like that was with Obama. It seemed like to me that Obama said that a lot, but Trump actually cared about the people who actually had to take insulin and epinephrine. He actually cared about people who really, really needed this stuff from day to day. Whereas I did not get that vibe from Obama.

He always, Obama always seemed to cater more to the elites. Trump always seemed to actually care about people who work day to day. I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy. That was really the vibe I got from Trump, even though he was like a top tier golden toilet type person. You know what I mean?

Yeah. Well, we have to understand our medical system is utterly corrupt and incentivizing it by throwing a whole bunch of government money at it is not going to solve that problem at all. It's only going to make it worse. It's a corrupt institution that takes advantage of people. I mean, I've heard horror stories of individuals going into hospitals and getting bills that, of course, will leave them in debt for the rest of their existence and their children's existence until they say, I don't have insurance. And then their bills are lowered 10 times what they were. That happened to me.

Yeah. That happened to me. Yeah. It happened to you. It happened to many other people that I know as well. And what kind of system do we have when literally people are preferring to take Ubers rather than ambulances? I did that too. Because ambulances are thousands of dollars. So I was at Sk skating. I'm chilling. And all of a sudden, I got an extreme pain, probably the worst pain I've ever felt in my abdomen.

Yep. And I was like, I fell down to my knees. Like, it was mind-blowingly painful. And so it starts to subside a little bit. And I'm like, I don't know what this could be. It could be an appendix rupture. I could be like, because I heard heard when you get appendicitis you have like the pain hits and you have very little time so i called the cab i called an uber uh uber pulled up and i went to the hospital and turns out i had a kidney stone it's extremely painful and it's when what people don't realize

too because i watch too many movies it's traveling from your kidney through your ureter so it's like an internal organ thing from your kidney yeah and that's why it hurts so i went to the hospital they didn't know what was wrong they gave me a ridiculous amount of drugs and then i it's the it stays for a while like i had to go back uh you know several days later because that because it started i started getting hit by the pain again and this time they figured it out uh i ended up getting a bunch of crazy drugs and then i got the bill in the mail and it was i think it was like like twenty five thousand dollars oh my god yeah yeah some ridiculously high number and so i called them and i was like this can't be right it was like an

overnight stay in the hospital on a prescription and then i had another overnight stay and they were like no the bill is correct and everything you know just give us your insurance and i was like i don't have insurance. Because it was the week I had just left Vice and before I joined Fusion where I lost for like four days insurance. Of course. And they went, oh, one second. Let us send you the updated bill. And it was like $3,700.

So they were like, oh, you don't have insurance? Then we're not going to extort your insurance company. Or they do these deals. But I will say with respect to Fusion, when i told them what happened they agreed you know they were like don't worry man we'll take care of you we don't want you to put out so they covered the cost for me well that's cool that was cool shout out to fusion i mean while they runs that company who ran it gone who ran it while you were there univision guys do you know the name of like the i'm not gonna name any name sounds like cool dudes i know you had a tumultuous time there that it was the uh president of the company cool the president the ceo i let him take care of your employees i was like you know look i just left vice and i had insurance

and these four days before i started with you guys i'm apparently not covered i didn't realize this i thought it was going to transfer over and they're like no no no you don't worry any at all we got it we'll take care of you anything i need to do i literally go to mexico and they have better service way better prices uh and and they take care of you. Anything I need to do, I literally go to Mexico and they have better service, way better prices, and they take care of you. I mean, I had dental work done in the United States. I had it done in Croatia, Colombia, Poland, way better service, one-tenth of the cost. I mean, I remember being in Colombia, literally. I don't know if I should get into some of the details here. Getting frog venom injected into your scars.

That was Mexico. That was Mexico. That was the Pozlan. That was when I did combo on my YouTube channel. And if you want to see me puke and do other stuff that are pretty interesting, check out Combo. We ever change. What was that like?

It was intense and it was absolutely crazy. And yes, you could see that type of stuff on my channel. But in Colombia, they literally had these huge massage chairs, right? absolutely crazy and yes you could see that type of stuff on my channel but in colombia they literally had these huge massage chairs right they had a neck pillow they had collagen lip masks they had this desensitizer that they they put in your mouth to numb your mouth before they they do any work that you didn't even feel the needle it was this like new vibration technology that they like. I was like, OK, we're going to numb you now.

They did it. I'm like, when are you going to numb me? And then they're like, we already did. And I'm like, what? This is insane. They had a huge television, not on the side, but literally in the ceiling. They gave me a remote. They gave me these proper headphones.

They had the most beautiful, gorgeous nurses you could ever imagine. Walking in like, oh, hey, senor, can we help you? Oh, you want something to drink? Whatever you want. They had an open bar. And then one-tenth of the cost would work. That was absolutely beautifully done in places like Colombia. But is that free market or is that universal system? I paid for it. I forgot exactly the exact system that's um that was you know i paid for it yeah um i i forgot exactly what the exact system that they have there because i've been doing medical tourism for

lefty's telling me everybody's got universal health care so well how about that is there like insurance companies that will cover you no matter where you go in the world well if it's urgent yes but a lot of insurance companies are scams so i, I mean, whether it's the extra insurance you get, there's always little provisions, there's always little things, and there's always surprises that kind of catch you. Lydia, you look like you have something to say. Yeah. So, I worked in a hospital for a while, and I really started to think. So, the first thing that Luke told me when I told him that I was sick, he's like, we're going to go to Mexico. I was like, you're crazy. And he's like, yeah, no,

it's actually a thing. And I was like, oh, maybe so. Because the US healthcare system, I know is an absolute sham. You're absolutely correct. And I do think that the American health insurance system really is a scam too. Because they're a little bit like the American college system

in that they jack up their prices to meet what the insurance company will pay. That's a problem. Because the insurance company will pay whatever they ask, basically. And then I had insurance and they wouldn whatever they ask, basically. Exactly. And then my insurance, I had insurance, and they wouldn't cover any of my dental work. And I'm like,

what the heck? Why am I paying for insurance? You're not even going to cover my work. Literally so happy in Colombia. Beautiful country. And an interesting fact about Colombia, they actually have the same record amount of cocaine production like they did in the 80s, but with huge dramatic reductions

of violence. So they're trying to make it tourist friendly. And this is where we make the cocaine! I hear amazing things about Colombia. So record cocaine production and the most increased amount of peace that Colombia

has had in a very long time. So a lot of amazing history. I know. A very beautiful place. I know tons of people. Yeah. Like, I know people from the suburbs of Chicago who are, like, middle class.

And, you know, be like, yo, what up? I'm like, oh, I'm going to Mexico for vacation. Oh, no, I'm getting dental work done. Yeah. I know too many people that tell me that because they're like, the amount of money it costs you to fly there and then the amount for the dental work

is cheaper than going to a dentist in America. Yep. Sounds like bad American business. Sounds like they're outsourcing jobs. And maybe that's free trade and we got to – So it's connected to like the education industry that charges insane rates for a person to go become a dentist. They got to spend six to eight years or whatever, go to medical school, spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for whether... That's even

questionable whether you actually need all that schooling or if you just need the real-world ability to do it. I got a wisdom tooth pulled by this dude who didn't seem like he knew what he was doing. But he probably went to school and still didn't really know what he was doing. He's like, that one's in there. He took a chisel and he's like, whack! So, yeah, you can go to school and just kind of breeze your way

through and still not know what you're doing. So it's weird that and he's like, whack! So yeah, you can go to school and just kind of breeze your way through and still not know what you're doing. So it's weird that all you need is a piece of paper and then you can officially become a doctor. Obviously, you got to have a real ability, but doctors, they don't study health and fitness necessarily. They just study medicine. So if you're a DO, a doctor of osteopath, you study everything that somebody needs to

actually be healthy. If you're an MD, you study everything that somebody needs to actually be healthy. If you're an MD, you study only the things that are wrong with people, which I can understand being an issue because people complain about only seeing the things that are wrong with people. So I think your question might be with DOs or with MDs. It's such a massive overhaul of the system that we need to do. If we want to make the medical industry not charge a million dollars to the insurance agency which is it's not so easy these kids by the by the balls who are like dentists and doctors it's not it's not so easy though because no it's not you got millions of jobs tied into that right and overhauling that would mean

terminating those jobs a lot of parasitic jobs but it's still jobs right yep people gotta feed their parents it's so weird so they're like sorry we it's it's already there sorry it's damaging you what are we going to do? You know, I guess the challenge is ignorance and ideology. If you can go and look at how good the system works in a different country, and then, you know, a lot of people on the left will try to extrapolate data and say, look, we could do it here when the populations are dramatically different and the resource availability is very different. So it's hard to do. It's hard to do. It's hard to figure out how we actually fix this broken system. A of people say let the free market decide knew it solve everything the left disagrees and they think you've got to have hard regulation so we already have hard

regulation no no well so so what they think is you've got a mix an amalgam of private and regulation mashed together in a weird way that doesn't work properly. And I think that's true. Like trying to have a private health insurance system, but regulated to the point where it doesn't function properly, just gives us a broken system. So I'm kind of like, pick one. I don't care. You know what I mean? Pick one and then we'll start there and try and fix it.

That's what's happening in the US because we have like a lot of different components. We're not fully socialized. We're not fully capitalistic. It's just a mess, and it's a huge problem for everyone who has to use it, which is like literally everyone. You have to go to the doctor at some point. You have to go to the ER at some point. And every time, it's like a huge bill on you, and it's like what a mess between the insurance company and the actual hospital. Yeah, get a checkup.

Check your blood levels. Yeah, seriously. insurance company in the actual hospital yeah get a checkup check your blood levels yeah i'd like so we we started this segment talking about joe biden and he was rescinding this uh here's the tweet mary vaught says biden reversed trump's executive order to reduce pricing for insulin and epinephrine democrats want higher insulin prices from bloomberg government well you get what you get when you vote for joe biden my friends, there's also another story we have where we can talk about what you get when you vote for the likes of Bernie Sanders or not so much Bernie, but those who would push policies like Bernie. Take a look at this image. Why we got good old Bernie Sanders. And he's he's sitting he's sitting in a little chair and he's got these big old mittens on. And this this photo became a very viral meme. It is Bernie

Sanders at the inauguration. He's kind of just like, what's it over with? And a lot of people mentioned those mittens were just so awesome. Oh my God. Amazing mittens, right? Right, Ian?

Yeah, they were beautiful. Beautiful mittens. What if I were to tell you that you will never be able to get those mittens? You fascist. No. Socialist. You know why?

Why? The woman who made those mittens went out of business because the taxes were too high and it destroyed her business. Wow. Yeah. Yep. The story from The Federalist. Woman behind Bernie Sanders' iconic mittens quit making them because high taxes killed

her business. How ironic. Yep. How did that happen? Yeah. It's like a fire truck on fire. Yep. The guy who advocates for higher taxes

is wearing the mittens of someone who can't make them anymore because taxes destroyed her business i'd like to give a round of applause again you know look there's there's an appropriate middle ground there's negotiations and there's there's a way to move forward but i think we see too much on the left is zealotry zealotry in the sense where it's like, we didn't plan this, we don't know what the results will be, but we really believe it to be true, so we're going to do it anyway. And so then you get this. Federalist says,

the Vermont school teacher who made Bernie Sanders mittens featured in the most recent viral meme said she had to stop making them after the federal government taxed her too much. People have been contacting me thinking they can get mittens, and actually they can't.

I don't have any more. I don't have much of a mitten business anymore because it really wasn't worth it jen ellis explained to slate independent crafters get really taken for a ride by the federal government we get taxed to the nth degree and it really it wasn't really worth it pursuing that as a business even as a side hustle oh man oh wow talk about a punch in the. You know, we've talked about it a lot. A lot of conservatives do free market capitalist types. If you tax people too much, there's no incentive to actually do anything. Why do it? Yep. What do you get? I kind of live that life, man. I'm just skating right now because I don't want to deal with it. The taxes? Yeah. The whole system is so

annoying. They just want to take, take, take, regulate this, regulate that, like the paperwork. I mean, I guess you will hire someone else to do that stuff for you, which is great. I guess if you get to that point, maybe, but you still got to pay attention. If someone's handling your finances, it's their finances. So you still have to maintain your finances.

Yep. That's a good lesson that Kanye West talks about. He's his own COO or CFO. Cool. Yeah. Well, many people make the argument that taxes are all about controlling and keeping people in line. And how can you not believe that when the government literally prints money? But yet we're still supposed to be given a portion of our income if we could still magically earn it. If immigration didn't take it, if oversee visas didn't take it, we somehow magically are able to sustain for ourselves. And we still have to give a huge cut to the government that is going to spend it on most likely war.

I mean, are you kidding me? You see, look, when we talk about taxes, the left and the right usually have the wrong conversation. I love the who will build the roads conversation with libertarians, right? So a lot of people on the left, when talking with ANCAPs and libertarians say, but who will pay for the roads? And then you actually get an argument. And the libertarians will say, it's going to be a private company who maintains the roads and maybe there will be a toll.

And I'm sitting there going like, uh-huh, uh-huh. Let me ask you the real question. Who's going to bomb the kids? Who's going to blow the kids up? Oh, guess what? Nobody. Because there's no incentive in any market to do it. I'm not a laissez-faire capitalist, mind you.

Okay? You know, I think there's problems with overgrowth of monopolies and monopolistic power. And I know a lot of people in the super chats often disagree. But I will tell you one thing. The question should be not who will build the roads. I'll tell you this. I will take no road. You can give me dirt i will

crawl through rocks if it means we're not paying for the blowing up of people in foreign countries which i don't like yeah i'll gladly take an off-road vehicle if it means not having roads if we're not going to be bombing the crap out of the middle east and sending troops all over the entire world and threatening huge geopolitical conflicts with other world powers yes i'll gladly do that in a heartbeat and people need to understand that michael bloomberg another kind of uh you know scrooge like individual has has made arguments that that taxes and regulations are necessary for control of of the populations in order to keep them in line lydia you have something right yeah

so do you guys remember when domino's Pizza decided to fix the potholes in the roads to deliver their pizzas better? Yeah. Who will build the roads? Domino's Pizza will. Yeah. What?

No, they won't. They did. They literally did. There was even an adult website that paved the roads in the Northeast after a major snowstorm because the government

was having troubles doing it that's cool so you know there's there's a lot of stories of of people coming to each other's needs helping each other out without the involvement of a middleman when you have a middleman that's when you have government when you have people solving each other's problems working uh with each other bartering trading that's called anarchy and we have a lot of anarchy that no one really wants to kind of admit you know what really bothers me too you know the government's not even really that good at blowing up kids private security forces are way better at killing civilians well they spend a lot of money on it especially when you look at the coffers when you look at

the budgets when you see the trillions of dollars missing in the pentagon you're like wait wait where did this money go these other guys have flip-flops these other guys have literal literal uh cloth on that's not even made as as proper clothing and and you're and they if they're lucky they have an ak but but we have to send hundreds of thousands of dollars at one missile to blow them up why somewhere thousands of thousands of miles away from us why this doesn't make any sense so i think this is a classic case of when you give people money they will rise to meet whatever you will give them because i found this to be the case with military budgeting so with the planes and stuff they're like well we won't charge as much unless they'll pay this much

yeah like donald trump found that the plane uh makers would make planes for like one half the cost. They're like, well, we were just making planes because this is what they would give us. I'm like, that's capitalism for you. But at the same time, it's like if the government subsidized it, that's an issue. That's not capitalism. Right. It's like cronyism. It's socialism.

Yeah. When the government says we're going to be – listen, you should think about money in terms of buying power and access to resources and not you know people think about money think about a number a hundred dollars five hundred dollars thousand dollars no no think about what you can get for it if you make 15 bucks an hour i don't care i don't i don't care listen right now you got all these lefties saying we should get 15 an hour living wage okay so here's what the government's done you will get your raise quick print money to reduce their buying power so they don't actually get anything. If you can only buy, you know, let's say $15 buys you a pair of blue jeans, and then they give you a raise of $15 an hour, but then increase the cost of blue jeans to $30, you didn't get a raise.

You just think you did. And that's a brilliant way to keep people dumb and happy. I got a big raise. Well, there's a reason a lot of the top billionaires call for more taxes and more regulations because it kills and squeezes out their competitors. Anyone who's willing to compete against them, anyone who could defeat them, anyone who could overcome them is burdened with all these other things that they have to deal with when these guys could just skate right through it. It's no issue for them. It's not a problem for them, but everyone else is going to be struggling. There's a picture of this pool, and it's showing a little small business, and it's showing an adult in there. The adult is

Amazon. It's all these other top big companies. And then the little kids are small businesses, and it's a pool, and they're drowning in it, and the water are regulations and taxes yeah so that's essentially what's happening now and sadly this poor lady i mean those mittens look pretty cool they look really nice but but sadly people are going to have to go to amazon to get their chinese made mittens by the uighur muslim population most likely according to my own personal opinion uh do you ever see those incentivized you ever see those things where like someone will buy a box of like i don't know combs and they open as a note saying i'm trapped in a factory in china please say yeah i have not seen that yeah you've

never seen those before yeah because people working in the factories are essentially slaves and they'll write like please save us and they'll put it in the box hoping somebody gets it there's news stories with pictures of that stuff but the current system that we're living on leaves us no choice but to go to Amazon because there's no other place to potentially buy mittens made by the average person, the average human being, the average entrepreneur that is trying to make their way in this really complex, really hard economically hit United States. It's so funny because I could make mittens and give them to you but if i make mittens and sell them to you government's like hey we want 35 of that yeah and on top of that sales tax in certain states i mean are you kidding me you ready for this from vox.com you buy a purse at walmart there's a note inside from a Chinese prisoner. Now what? You were right, Luke. Wow. You said, what store?

You said Amazon, though. Yeah, Amazon. We are Muslims. Walmart. And it was Chinese prisoners. Tracing a mysterious message across the world to understand how what we buy is made, they say. When Crystal Wallace found a piece of paper folded up at the bottom of her purse in March 2017, she threw it in the trash. She hadn't yet used the maroon bag made by Walmart and purchased from one of its Arizona stores a month months ago.

But after a few minutes, she got curious. She took the paper out of the wastebasket, unfolding the sheet to reveal a message scrawled in Mandarin Chinese translated read inmates in China's Yingshang prison work 14 hours a day and are not allowed to rest at noon. We have to work overtime until midnight. People are beaten for not finishing their work. There's no salt and oil in our meals. The boss pays $2,100 every month for the prison to offer better food, but the food is all consumed by the prison guards. Sick inmates have to pay for their own pills. Prisoners in China cannot be compared to prisoners in the United States. Horse, cow, goat, pig, dog.

Crystal's daughter-in-law, Loris Wallace, posted a photo of the note to Facebook on April 23rd. The post first went viral locally, getting shared and liked several hundred times, mostly by fellow Arizonans. After a few days, local media picked it up, and the story eventually goes viral. It was today, Huffington Post, etc. One video report on the incident accumulated 2.9 million views. So there you go. How else do you think these items are so cheap? Why do you think they're so cheap?

It's just crazy and mind-boggling to understand how this entire system works, how it's incentivized, and yet we turn a blind eye to it and totally ignore it. But Luke, you have these wonderful shoes and these pants and all these clothes and the goods. We're all hypocrites. They're made by slaves.

We don't want to think about it. I think I will try a lot harder to make sure the stuff I'm getting made is being made fair trade. Yeah, I'm wondering about the Teespring, who their third party is that they mentioned. Teespring? It's American. It is. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah.

So they actually printed a shirt and showed me in real time. So they have their own manufacturing, but the shirts themselves may come from overseas. Oh. I've heard that argument over and over again about sweatshops where these industrialists are like, well, they make a quarter an hour, but they'd be making a dime an hour if they were working on a farm. So it's a good job for them. I'm like, yeah, but you're also taking jobs away from Americans and extracting our economy. So you know what happens with all of this trade and like what's going on with these slaves? The cheap labor means that when you have 10 bucks and you buy that product, almost all of it goes to some ultra wealthy billionaire type. A tiny fraction goes to the Chinese government, of which they use it to barely sustain the lives

of these prisoners. Your money is being siphoned away by the ultra wealthy who then lobby for laws to make sure you don't ever compete with them so what you're saying is that they're extracting from you to prop up this cobweb and matchstick government or like economy in china that sounds great yeah you know what what maybe maybe there needs to be some kind of like call to action for regular people something like i don't know what would represent this like to be some kind of like call to action for regular people. Something like, I don't know, what would represent this? Like not the managers or the bosses, but maybe like the working people, like the workers. And maybe everyone around the world should come together and like, come up with a slogan. Maybe like workers of the world unite.

How about that? I'm kidding, by the way. I think I heard that somewhere. Where did I hear that from? No, it really is a shame that workers of the World Unite is associated with communism, though. That's Lenin's thing? Was it? Is that one of his rallying calls?

It's a communism thing. It's like Workers of the World Unite. Yeah. There definitely needs to be more collective bargaining. There's definitely not enough with that. I mean, we hear horror stories, not just in China, but also local factories in the United States when it comes to Amazon warehouses. Halt, sir. We need more decentralization.

Yeah. We shouldn't have these massive monopolies like Amazon controlling everything. Yeah, we should unite, but it's just how you unite is the key. No, I disagree. We should decentralize. Maybe. A unified decentralization sounds pretty legit. Yeah. If we didn't have Amazon, Walmart, Target, and these big box stores being allowed to stay open because the government is propping them up while shutting down small businesses. If we had small mom and pop shops that were all over the place, that's the kind of decentralization we need.

Instead, they're centralizing everything. It's only a matter of time before Amazon does everything. Literally everything. Yeah. And they're lecturing us about social justice and LGBTQ lgbtq issues and about what's what's there's so many we gotta start making skits because i have some really great ideas of like just like an ultra wealthy guy counting hundred dollar bills and then he looks at he looks like the coal miner and goes racist he starts counting his money again we gotta get ryan long and tim

dillon on and then bring them here for a weekend and then just do a crap ton of skits in front of the green screen okay i'm gonna mess around let's mess you ever see the comic where there's like a middle class guy with a few cookies and then there's an ultra rich guy with a huge plate of cookies and he's yelling and pointing at the poor guy with no cookie yeah and the middle class guy is looking angry at the poor guy and i'm like you could make the exact same comic if you change the races of the people

who are looking at each other because all they've done is once they realize people workers of the world were actually kind of uniting not in a communistic way but against the establishment

and this was Occupy Wall Street so they threw in identity politics to make everybody fight each other and it works so perfectly they started obsessing

about it on the mainstream media and in the culture and they started pushing this narrative and everyone followed and everyone got their little talking points and they repeated them perfectly and it and as you said i it worked but i think there's also an element pushing it through the algorithms to make it seem like it works more effectively than we than we uh realize So I think there's also the gaming of perception that is happening that is also an important aspect to understand here, because when we're looking at the timelines, when we're looking at the algorithms, it's usually the most radicalist, the most craziest, the most insane stuff highlighted to us, and that's the perception

that people get of other leftists or other people on the right. And I think that also is based on an illusion that is perpetrated that wants you to believe those things because it pushes that agenda and drives you further into those kind of ideologies. Take a look at the story about the people in Germany being put in either refugee camps or in detention in hospitals. And some of the people, some of our friends were saying that their lefty friends couldn't find any of those stories and so i've actually encountered this and maybe you guys listening have as well they're there i have a ton of friends who are very very very lefty some social justice warriors we argue all the time but you know we've been

friends for a lot longer than the culture wars existed so we kind of just you know move on with our lives but there have been times where i've been like wow did you hear about x and they'll say that's not true i'll say google it they'll be like there's nothing here and they'll try and google they don't see anything because the algorithmic feeding of information so i have to send them a link and then finally like push that story into their bubble and then google will start algorithmically feeding it facebook will start but it's probably true that like if you go to r slash politics on reddit it is all left-wing agenda there's there it's like donald trump is bad bernie sanders is good oh if you go on reddit it's like it's

remarkable how early on in you know 2015-16 donald trump posts pro-trump posts were dominating reddit now it's aoc posts like she's literally the same thing as donald trump and their politics are different no it's no you'll see more aoc posts and cat posts i'm not kidding in fact when i go to r slash all no algorithm it's just all the posts there will be like two or three posts there's like there's r slash aoc there's r slash murdered by aoc then there's like r slash our president and progressive and it's always a tweet from aoc going like republicans are trash. They're so trash. I'm so smart.

Things like that. Tim, Tim, Tim. I'm sure this is because the only people in the world are leftists who all agree with AOC. I'm sure this is the case. Top post on Reddit. Reddit.com. Hot popular.

What brings the worst out in people? That's the question. It's just the most popular thing on Reddit right now. They want to talk about that stuff. That's fine. The worst. What's the worst? Think of getting negative.

Well, I remember last time it was Charlie Kirk is a white supremacist. And I don't even like Charlie Kirk, but I think calling him that is extremely disingenuous and fake and extremely hyperbolic and sensational. That leads to the destruction of our language and from any rational political discourse. And I remember a long time ago when Reddit was this free-flowing, amazing place, and you would get really interesting wonders and interesting creations, and now it's just more and more political, just like everything. Like, can we not just be political all the time? Can we stop that? YouTube, you know, can you just focus on maybe creating a video platform

rather than playing politics? Same could be said for music, for art. It's just like... So I pulled up Reddit. I'm on r slash all, all posts. First post, nothing to do with politics. What is it? It's a freezer full of mold.

Oh, good. Or something. Second post... The real things that matter. No politics. Third post, no politics. Fourth post... You're giving me hope.

Third post, three-act MAGA tragedy. It's a woman complaining about Trump. Fifth post, Joe Biden's executive order is going to help unemployment and blah, blah, blah. Pro-Biden. Political. So that's four and five political. And these are by upvotes? Yeah, like the most upvoted.

Then we have another post. So number six is not political. Seven is not political. Number eight, Biden press secretary Jen Psaki is not playing. When asked why Biden wasn't prioritizing Republican issues in the name of unity, she said, is it unemployment insurance, not a Republican priority? Are schools opening safely, not a Republican priority? Oh, smack.

Oh, snap. It's moderated, right? The next post, pro Bernie Sanders meme. The next post is not political, not political, and not political, and then not political. So there we go. We have four of 10, right? The next post is not political not political and not political and then not political so there we go the next four of ten right the next post political the next post is arguing against unity the next post is political it's all it's like a third it was like i should i should say pro-democrat so are they they're moderating that right like the moderators will go in and well they they they banned uh the donald because the donald was too So I would say, what do we have now?

About 50% have been pro-Democrat. Here's another one. I was tracking about 35. Not the onion. Capitol rioters express regret after not getting pardoned. The next post is anti-Donald Trump, pro-Hunter Biden. It's just nonstop. It's just nonstop.

Every other post is just pro-Democrat. The time Ted Cruz got bamboozled. Texasas deserves better as a woman it's endless endless reality tv well it used to be about all pro-democrat people getting in there talking about politics is reality tv it's like the modern day well it used to be about comedy it used to be about creation it used to be about art it used to be about just wonders that you wouldn't find anywhere travel photos and interesting facts that you wouldn't get anywhere else useful tips and now it's just cultism it denigrated to cultism as you say and it's listen it's it's sad if you want to go to a forum dedicated to donald trump i wouldn't call that cultism if you want to go to a

dedicated oc i wouldn't call that cultism if If you want to go to a forum dedicated to AOC, I wouldn't call that cultism. If the entirety of the website is dominated by people just mindlessly upvoting the same pro-Democrat stuff, now you're getting yourself some kind of problem. To be fair, it's probably paid companies. Democratic organizations probably hire people to astroturf and sock puppet on Reddit to make people think that it's pro-Democrat. And then what they do is they lobby reddit to ban conservatives which they've done over and over and over again so there you go welcome to the to the new era so when they do this can you blame conservatives for really wanting there to be a space where people just

agree with them for a change i'm not even about agreeing with them a place where they won't get banned for saying something like i don't know well parlor's gone they got they got um exploded yeah i don't want to do the identity politics stuff anymore i want neutral platforms i think it's not gonna happen i just want a reddit that used to be reddit you know yeah i want a youtube that was just youtube and just focused on helping people create videos helping people express themselves and they don't do that the problem the problem is you now have communities dot win which is a bunch of different you know exiled communities you had vote for a while when red started banning a bunch of you know different types of like i think fat people hate got banned

and it was where people just rag on fat people all day so they got banned and then vote was very similar to reddit and then they had their own you know thing and then the oat vote yeah but then vote got dominated by a bunch of the exiled alt-right types. And so then the media attacked them. Now you have communities.win. .win is interesting because they're like individual websites, just like somewhat networked. It's an open source code, I believe. I think the solution is going to have to be something like the Fediverse, a decentralized social media network.

Yeah, because you're always going to have moderators that have political agendas. And even no matter how famous your company is, you'll eventually one day sell it. And then some new moderators with new agendas will have it. Or just stop editorializing. Have a code of conduct, right? Have a basic set of rules that are based on the laws. And if someone breaks a law, let the law handle it. Or you could personally handle it. But when you editorialize something, you bastardize it, you manipulate it. And this is why live streams were so popular. Back in the day,

especially when we were doing political live streams, it was unedited, it was live. We didn't make sure people saw certain stuff and didn't see certain stuff. Everything was shown as is. It was real life and people love that. They enjoy that. I still remember when we met at Occupy Wall Street.

I was this very famous and prominent streamer, and Luke was walking through the park. I met you before, and then I saw Luke, and I said, hey, kid, catch. And I threw him a phone, and he went, oh, gee, thanks, Mean Joe Tim. That's what happened? And then Luke started streaming, and that was just how it started. That's the story. I'm kidding. Luke had a really big channel as some random guy.

You never produced a video when I met you. That's not true. I had several YouTube channels. Well, you never were into politics or news when I met you. Yeah, you were doing skateboarding, but you were never into politics, and you're like, what am I doing? Well, hold on, hold on.

I have been in politics my whole life. I wasn't producing videos of politics. I was producing videos of skateboarding. No no one knew who the beanie man was there was a reason why i went to occupy wall street because i was paying attention had you been it up at occupy of course yeah always and uh i got featured in a el salvadorian magazine i think like the first coverage because they saw me working and they're like who's this guy and i started live streaming through mobile it was very very you know preliminary and it was like what was it 144p the streams were like just totally grainy garbage and then uh i met luke luke had uh he had a huge channel 50 000 subscribers and when i met luke he

was like dude i got 50 000 subscribers i was like whoa like this channel's huge yep and then uh we were arguing and uh we were at some debate forum and uh for then i was like i like the arguments you're making here and we just kind of like stuck around some lady was like you should meet this guy i know he's got 50 000 subscribers yeah who is that lady i don't remember yeah shout out to that lady yeah um was it we are change yeah were you streaming through youtube or uh you stream i was i was yeah youtube didn't have it it was you stream and i remember still making youtube videos at the time with the big dslr having to run home having to put in the sd card i remember during the raid of occupy wall street i was inside oh you stayed that night and

and i tried to go live but there was some kind of interference there was something going on they brought out well that and and also everyone was kicked out of there. And they brought in these weird trucks and these weird satellites. And I was inside. And I didn't have a signal. I was 10 feet away from you. As soon as I was kicked out. No, I was inside because they set up a perimeter.

I know. You were outside the perimeter. I was inside. I was 50 feet away, bro. I'm saying your cell phone should have worked. But you think they created like a zone of dead space or something? It didn't. And people were getting the crap beat out of them the police officers literally brought in um these huge tools and they were they

were cutting the the metal that people were tied to on the inside people were just getting clubbed left and right people were getting just thrown around shoved around wildly and i remember like why can't i film this uh live and i remember doing the dslr footage uh josh gordon levitt was actually there i interviewed him right at right outside of the thing i was able to escape the police the actor yes yes yes and i met joseph you know garden let it interviewed him i saw tim tim was live streaming and And then I'm like, I got to go home to edit this video because my cell phone died mysteriously. And I remember 6 o'clock in the morning, I'm editing and then Tim pulls live with like 3 million viewers concurrently.

For 22 hours. For 22 hours. And I'm like, I made the wrong decision here. And then you had people literally coming to you, bringing you batteries. And food. And food to continue your live stream. I was awake. I didn't go to sleep. I was up for over 22 hours streaming.

And there was a point where I was live streaming and I couldn't open my hand because I was holding an umbrella. Was that your big break? Like, is that the moment that you exploded onto the mainstream? Kind of. I would say 100%. We're talking about millions. Your feed was on all the mainstream media channels. Like million yeah yes yeah but it was a blip sweet it went up and right back down yeah that was the night and i had a bunch of these flavor of the

month offers where they were like write a book join this tv show and i basically was like nah nah nah give me guarantees give me guarantees now this news the famous you know left they tried hiring me as their like third person as as their main first correspondent or whatever. I was like, nah. Because what I wanted to do was I wanted to run my own thing and slowly build up a proof of a career. Everybody saw that massive spike, and they knew they could latch on to what I had done for some instant PR. And I told them to go F off. And then a year later, I went to Vice and said, hey, look, I'm still working.

I'm still working. What's still I'm still working. What I'm doing is still working. We've gotten way more press. And they said, I like I like how that sounds. Google wanted me to do stuff on YouTube. They wanted me to like create this methodology and technology. And so when Vice found out and they found out I want to work for them, then they were like, hey, Google, you know, that guy you were trying to get.

We hired him. What are you going to give us? And then Google was like was like okay let us know what you want and then i worked for vice for a while and then i went over for disney and then you know here we are do you guys remember at occupy a couple nights before they raided the park um well it might have been a week before bank of america just all of a sudden decided to start doing street work street construction right outside the park across the street you know bank america is right across the street from zuccotti yeah um you mean you mean chase i thought it was bank of america right before uh like right after occupy started chase did lobby construction and barricaded off the entire plaza they started doing street construction like drills and like jackhammers was also out

there as well and and they were just noise they were trying to get people to leave the park because of the noise. I don't remember that. It was insidious. I remember that the police would park their cars next to the park at like three in the morning. And then just go, and then flash their lights onto people. And then it was like, I think that what they were trying to do was like, it's a form of torture. Yeah. The goal was to sleep deprive people and trick and like not trick them but like force them into leaving i think there

was officer lombardo who literally wasn't was at a guard at gitmo literally there three o'clock in the morning kicking people putting flashlights in their face uh just waking up random people and i remember filming him and he had this like huge obsession with me uh where he literally followed me everywhere i went so i went on like a like a 10 block walk and he just started walking like right right besides me just looking at me uh well so there was hipster cop remember hipster cop i remember hipster cop so uh i remember he was like damn and he walked over and shook my hand he's like i followed your streams it's really good stuff i think i think you're being fair and i was like look if i was there for that i remember that yeah i was like Tim and he walked over and shook my hand he's like I followed your streams it's really good stuff I think you're being fair and I was like

look if I was there for that I remember that yeah I was like if the cops are hitting somebody I'm gonna film it if the protesters are hitting somebody I'm gonna film it and he goes it's all we ask I remember there was an undercover cop and people were like hey he's an undercover cop I'm like what's going on here and I just started filming randomly the undercover cop comes and he jabs me right in my

stomach and I'm like and he and he walks away and I'm like, you son of a... You chased him. And he jumped over the barricades and I'm like, that's it, you son of a... No, no, but hold on. You couldn't...

The barricades were the police barricades. You weren't allowed to cross them. Yeah. So this guy outed himself as an undercover cop. Yeah, by punching me in the gut, jumping the barricades, I jumped the barricades and I went right in his face.

I was like, you son of a gun. You didn't pay for this. And I was like, you know, and I just started going off at him and i was like officers this man assaulted me i want to press charges and none of them would do anything and he was walking three blocks and i was screaming at him and then later of course obviously he came behind the official police lines and other police officers like i'm like wait wait i got him on camera assaulting me and i wasn't even trying to do anything i was just filming

there randomly so uh yeah i got a couple batons there that wasn't my only rough up with the police there but there was also one incident that i remember huge scuffles are happening this is the one time that occupy wall street was actually able to get on wall street that was their big thing it didn't achieve anything but it was a symbolic gesture there's huge fights huge classes i'm right in the middle of it. And then the officer's like, hey, I know you. You're Luke. I love your stuff. You're great, man. Keep it up.

I'm like, thanks, man. Thanks. I appreciate it. There was one time where everybody marched to... Who was the mayor at the time? Was it Bloomberg? I think it was Bloomberg. They went to the mayor's house.

And there was a bunch of cops. What they would do is the cops would walk just off the curb to keep the protesters on the sidewalk and I'm walking and filming and then there's this regular beat cop

and he goes hey Tim Pool and I was like hey and he's like hey and he reaches his hand I shake my hand and I'm like oh jeez dude

in front of all the far lefty this is bad optics so I shake his hand and I was like hey he's like I like what you're doing man you're being fair about it and I was like yeah no problem

and then the leftists were like he's on the side of the cops he's like, I like what you're doing, man. You're being fair about it. And I was like, yeah, no problem. And then the leftists were like, he's on the side of the cops. He's a cop. This proves it. And then Occupy Wall Street tweeted that one day when I got attacked that. So we told the story of the day I got attacked. And then Luke pulled the guy's mask off. Occupy Wall Street immediately tweeted. Tim Pool just tried helping a cop arrest somebody.

And a bunch of the other activists who ran that who knew i wasn't a cop like we're like what are you doing and then deleted the tweet but it got screenshot and started getting shared around and then all the crazy lefties were like whoa tim pool was trying to help arrest somebody what when in reality i got hit and that was it yeah i got hit no no no no you got hit and i grabbed me my friend jumped in and then the cops came and and they let the guy go who beat you up. So the guy ran away. And then you posted his face. Yeah.

And then no one ever found him. Well, there's a lot of things that happened in that little scuffle. A lot going on. So the guy judo-chopped my arm while I was holding my phone up, and it hit the ground and bounced away. And then I grabbed his arm and pulled it and then just locked onto it. Who? Some guy. Just some random dude?

Well, he was all anti-fucked. He was black-blocked. And so I grabbed his arm and locked it and wouldn't let him go, and he was struggling to get away. Luke walked up and went, boop, with his mask. Then a cop ran up and grabbed him and pushed me away and let the guy run off. Oh, man. It was crazy. So we thought the guy was, like, maybe undercover or something.

Why did the cops come to save him from me they just want to stop literally ran in there grabbed him pulled him out and then he ran away that's it well they pulled him out of the crowd and then and just let him go they probably wanted to end the violence well i don't know there was no violence well you guys were struggling and they were like no i grabbed his arm because i didn't want there to be a fight because i knew what they would claim in the press and what they would try to do. So I just held onto his arm and he was trying to pull away and struggle. And then the cop ran up and grabbed us, grabbed me and pushed me away

and then let the guy go. It was weird. I remember going in there, like pushing him, holding him down a little bit. And I was like, let me see what's underneath this thing. Dude, Occupy comes up a lot.

Because there's so many undercover cops that use occupy it comes up a lot because there's so many undercover cops that use black block tactics a lot of people don't know this there's a huge history of police officers inciting violence specifically as black block to make sure that the police have a reason to respond and to crush any dissent whether peaceful or not so that's why i was always on the lookout for black block because i knew they could be undercover police officers because i just got beat up i got punched in the gut by a black black police this brings me back to talking about being getting in trouble for what your followers say and do because your followers can be like chinese plants a corporation can hire a bunch of people to become your followers to incite violence in your comment section or on

your website. Yeah. And it's not your fault. But look, I want to point out, the undercovers we actually knew were undercovers, they look like cops, dude. Most of them. The guy who was wearing like a blue hoodie. No, he was wearing a black hoodie and was trying to be, he's trying to look like, like a, like a Bucky. But he was like a middle-aged dude, Bucky.

Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he was, he was clearly. Everyone accused Bucky of always looking like a cop, too. Didn't he kind of go off the rails? I don't know. I think I saw him posting, like, an F Trump flag all around New York City in, like, these weird photos. And I'm like, that's kind of weird as well.

Those are the days, ladies and gentlemen. Those are the old Occupy days. And something magical happened. You see, the powers that be realized that... Luke Rutkowski? Are you NANCAP? How do you describe it? I don't know.

I'm a free human being that doesn't like labels. I like to determine my position after hearing... Free market or cooperative market. I believe in personal responsibility and freedom and decentralization. Libertarian. Whatever. I don't like labels. Okay, commie.

Communist. Yeah, sure. All right, commie. i made a video where it said uh i took my political compass test it turns out i'm a communist we took the political compass test together i got libertarian socialist and i got libertarian you got center right you got libertarian we're like we're right in the same position except you're just to the left i'm to the right yeah so anyway occupy wall street brought together weird weirdos like Luke and weirdos like me. Yeah. And that's dangerous. Yeah.

That's not good. Well, it gave us a start to be able to have a message that reached out to so many people. I mean, we're talking about endorsements from Mortal Technique was down there. Who else was that rapper that was down there that was at Obama's inauguration and talked about his drone bombing. I don't know. What's his name? No, there was another one. There were so many other celebrities

and media figures and professors and intellectuals that came down there to argue. Alec Baldwin came down. Lupe Fiasco was down there, too. I interviewed Lupe Fiasco. Roseanne Barr came down. What the heck? She's awesome.

I don't forget Lupe Fiasco. I'm like came down. What the heck? She's awesome. I'm like, what the hell's going on? I'm eating a gyro and Roseanne Barr runs up to me. It was such a weird feeling, but it was such a collective where there was such weirdness. It was like the internet exemplified when it was still free and it was still wild,

but it was in real life. You got the crazies, you got the leftists, you got the right-wingers, you got the Ron Paulers, you got the libertarians. And it was beautiful. I loved it because it was such a random thing that just hit you upside the head. No one in the media originally was talking about it. And it only got coverage because the police officers tried to brutalize the people in a way. They pepper sprayed those women. Exactly.

For no reason. And that was the kind of V for Vendetta moment that lit it on fire, that lit this idea amongst the minds of many people that's saying if you stand there, if you just sit there in a park, the police will come and they will beat the crap out of you

and they will pepper spray you. It was four women on a street corner, not in the protest, and Tony Bologna, Anthony Bologna, walked up and just sprayed these four women for no reason. Yeah.

He got reassigned to Staten Island because of it. He was, wasn't he like the number one, he was a top cop in New York at the time? I believe so, yes. And then I think Lombardo

took over and he was brutal. I made a whole natural, natural, national geographic piece about the Lombardo. So look up the Lombardo. We are changed. You're going to find a really funny video about his just utter abuse of power that we were actually able to make fun of.

He came up to me afterwards. He's like, did you make that Lombardo video? You made that video. I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about, sir. I have no clue. All right. All right. Let's go to super chats.

Yep. You can make your own t-shirts. That's what we're going to do. Eric Douglas says, Ian is the Eddie Bravo of the show, and I say that with the utmost respect. I love Eddie. Yeah. Look into it.

Let's see. Colin Peace says, Adam Curry is jealous that his wife listens to your show more than his own show. No agenda. Get in touch with him. He wants to come on the show. Oh, snap. Okay. Cool. I'm not familiar. pieces adam curry is jealous that his wife listens to your show more than his own show no agenda get in touch with him he wants to come on the show okay cool i'm not familiar i think i've heard of that show no agenda though i'll look him up yeah andrew bishop says tim kyle kolinsky said on rogan that trump increased drone strikes by 300 400 what's your thoughts on this horrifying and very

very bad and worthy of the utmost criticism no no doubt. The big challenge with Trump is, I didn't, look, I didn't vote for him in 2016, and I ragged on him for three years. I just thought the critics were insane. So it's like Trump would do something questionable, and then the critics would claim he kicked a puppy in the face. You'd be like, dude, no, he didn't. Calm down.

And then when it came to the Abraham Accords and trying to withdraw, I was like, I like that, please more of that. So look, we've criticized the guy. I just only got I like that. Please more of that. So, look, we've criticized the guy. I just only got to say two words. John Bolton. Like, seriously. Criticize him on the drone stuff 100%. Trent Lomelino

says Michael Malice was on Cash Cab and I can't unsee it. That's so funny. I find that video. Did he win? Yeah, he did pretty well. He's a smart guy. He's a smart fella. He looks so different, though. Really? He looks like really...

I gotta watch it. He looks like he's like 17. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I gotta look it up. Reese Jones says, G'day. Watch your show all the time? My wife is in LA for a course.

She was refused service for being not a local. Is that normal? We are Australian. I don't know about that. That's weird. They're also phobic george rfm 97 says hi tim i'm a big fan from the uk hope you guys are aware of the storm about to hit crypto market regarding the tether lawsuit it's been used to buy bitcoin it could cause a temporary

crash perhaps i don't care um you know bitcoin was at like 48 dropped to 30 and everyone's like quick sell and i was like nope and then it bumped back up to like 38 and i'm like don't care there's i watched this video recently where this woman's like in 2013 someone sent me a bitcoin and i shrugged my shoulders and said thanks shrugged my shoulders and said thanks and now in 2021 she's like i realized when everyone was screaming about bitcoin that i had one and then she realizes she has forty thousand dollars 2013 bitcoin was at what it was like fluctuating between 10 50 or maybe even 100 bucks someone could have given you a twenty dollar bill in 2012 it's forty thousand dollars ten thousand bitcoins man i almost bought six thousand three

hundred this looks like tethers maybe was using their money. Tether's a stable coin, and they're supposed to maybe hold the money when you buy it, but they were buying Bitcoin with it. I don't know. There's some sort of investigation. I use USDC right now as my stable coin. OMG Puppy says social media was banning people for the

NPC meme a couple years ago. It triggers the SJWs badly for some reason. Because it resonates. All my NPC stuff has been banned. It's such a good meme. Yeah years ago. It triggers the SJWs badly for some reason. I remember that. Because it resonates. Yeah, all my NPC stuff has been banned. It's such a good meme. Yeah, yeah. Wow. So, yeah, I mean, I like the NPC meme. Yeah. And I made a lot of NPC t-shirts. All of them are gone.

So, we're going to bring them back, though. Who's the artist for that? It was just like a 4chan meme, wasn't it? I don't remember. Man, I want to meet that person. NPC. Melissa B says, Dan Bongino warned about Teespring during his show yesterday or today. Please be careful. I mean, we will. But look, my shirts are silly.

Like me with a monocle and a pipe with bubbles. Oh, speaking of. Oh, yeah. Ian's got one. I have one. Lydia, thank you very much. It's medium. We don't do.

I'll be wearing this in the near future. We don't do crazy hyper political shirts that worried about getting banned it's silly it's me like it's just a really silly image someone made for us but even if you did if you made fun of the mainstream media why is that wrong crazy yeah like how is that it does it does seem like they were going on copyright grounds which means they shouldn't have and you'll need a smarter and better provider well they shouldn't have number one it's it doesn't make sense and two they they hit other stuff that there's no reason to hit ice fox says don't know if you if you have looked into bunker branding or if they are taking more creators but it is owned and operated by matt

from demolition ranch it's an alternative to teespring by youtubers for youtubers check it out uh definitely i was looking into them and i don't know what they're you know what the policies are what their plans are but i'd love to i got like 50 emails of people recommending them to me i i emailed them uh and i hit them up on twitter so uh yeah um reply back guys soft shell crab says been a been a new fan for the last uh last few months going to become a member on your site next paycheck what to ask y'all do y'all play commander as magic the gathering format yeah it's the only thing we play basically we played some draft a couple weeks ago that was really fun adam adam has a cube that he built with like all these we were playing the unglued set

and the unhinged and all those weird like fun hold a card above the table type fun stuff there's one where it's like you have to make a creature with your hand standing on the table and if you take your hand off the the creature dies. Oh, yeah. I remember that. Silly, silly, silly. Weird, weird. But for those that aren't familiar. Betsa Majestica?

Oh, yeah. Betsa Majestica. That's just funny. There was like you have to whisper a word. And then if they do, it causes a creature essentially to be, you know, layman's terms, becomes inactive. So I chose Betsa Majestica. But mostly we play Commander. Yeah.

It's been a while. I have no idea what you guys are saying. We'll get you a deck. Yeah. It's a card game. Okay. It's only for smart people, you know. People that like math. Yeah's been a while. I have no idea what you guys are saying. We'll get you a deck. It's a card game. It's only for smart people, you know, so I... Yeah, very smart people. The way to describe it to people is

chess and poker combined. I got a question for you, Luke. If there were five colors of magic for you to choose from, and those colors were black, white, red, green, or blue, what color would you pick? No, you can't ask him this. He doesn't understand because each of the colors

represents a characteristic or emotion he doesn't understand. Well, use your imagination of those five colors, what you feel most akin to. Right now or forever? Just in general. He doesn't know

what the color identity is. So in Magic the Gathering, it's a card game. There are five colors and each color represents what they call a color identity. The color black represents swamps and its ambition meaning you would sacrifice you cut off your own arm to defeat your opponent like things like that then you have green which

represents growth so it's creatures and elves and forests you have blue which represents control so it's illusions and manipulation you have if he doesn't know anything about magic. Red is fire, destruction. Aggression and passion. Chaos. And chaos. But you need to know more. And white is benevolence. And healing and, you know. Okay.

So where would you align? I don't know. I don't want to play these games. I like stuff like the UFC. Yeah, right. And then people fighting and all the way fighting. Luke would be red and white. Yeah, I was thinking red.

Fire? Red and white. I'm red and white. I'm definitely white. Tim's more would be red and white. Yeah, I was thinking red. Fire? Red and white. I'm red and white. I'm definitely white. Tim's more of a red mage. Red and blue. Blue. You like blue.

I like blue a lot. Chaos and control. Those are my favorite colors. You fit well with red. It fits your personality a lot. Sounds like Tim. All right, let's read some more. Some people are...

I'm not going to read this, but some people are asking where Steven Crowder is. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Yeah, he's gone. I don't know. Yeah, he's gone. I don't know. He must be. He's in a secret underground library. He's loving that we're talking about him right now.

Oh, he's probably chilling, man. Yeah. He's probably fishing, having a good time, going to the range. Maybe he told himself if Trump doesn't win, he's taking some time off. Steven Crowder probably enjoying a nice bowl of clam chowder down at the brewery or something. Probably, yeah. Minding his own business. Dark Party says, I followed Luke, shirt boy, for

18 hours, then he started trashing on Trump. Well, of course. Yeah, that's what I've been doing my entire... Have you met Luke? Yeah, I've been trashing on all the presidents whenever I could. I will say, I think it's worth to continue to follow Luke because he'll give you non-partisan advice.

I don't like anyone, especially when they're politicians. Yeah, when they're politicians yeah but you got to understand too like if somebody's like biden is the best trump is the worst you probably will need a voice like luke is going to be like let me tell you why they're all bad you know because at least you know you're not getting a tribalist takedown of trump you're getting someone's critique who doesn't like any of them i'm not for everyone but thanks for giving me a try. Thank you. Creasy Bear says, Tim Pool doesn't always sell blackface merch, but when he does, it's hilarious.

That was, it was, when I saw it, I was just like, oh, geez. I had to laugh. Oh, no. You know,

it's not quite blackface. Well, the white fists were so crazy. I don't know. It was on purpose. But I'm not taking heat for that. That's on Teespring. Disney did it.

I respect them for looking into it. They apologized. And I think it was probably, in my opinion, a rogue employee. Well, a third-party company. I'm sorry. Not an employee of them. They said it was a third party. So we'll see what they end up finding out.

Maybe they're all laughing behind the scenes because they did it on purpose. But I don't think that's the case. Let's see. Track Media Only says, News media gets away with it in part because libel laws have been broken or totally bypassed people yell first amendment not taking into account libel laws have existed before and after its creation that's right simple caleb says oregon governor kate brown cleared d1 schools to play sports smaller naia schools in the same area are not rules for the but not for the elite schools that probably benefit

Kate Brown's interests. That's right. Daddy T says, here's to Bernie showing up to a buttoned down event wearing oven mitts. I thought the mittens were nice. They're very cute. And they were funny. And then I was sad to learn that they were destroyed by overtaxation. So, well, there you go.

Nuclear Winter Gamer says, I hail from Saskatchew So, well, there you go. Nuclear Winter Game Gamer says, I hail from Saskatchewan, Canada and sentiment of Western separation grows more and more the longer PM Aladdin sits in office. Wex it.

Sorry about shirt. Listen, I don't care about the shirt in the sense that if people got it and they have it, fine. Just so long as I've made myself clear that that was not on us.

If anyone wants to get mad about that shirt, you take it up with Teespring. If some people got it and they have it, fine. Just so long as I've made myself clear that that was not on us. If anyone wants to get mad about that shirt, you take it up with Teespring. If some people got it and they're happy with it, don't put that on me because I'm not the one who made it. You know what I mean? I'm sure there's people who got it, are laughing, and they like it because it's a misprint and it's unique. And I'm sure there are probably a lot of racist people who are trying to get one. Don't look at me. I didn't make it. So Teespring, that's on you. You scratch out the Timcast and put Teespring on it. Gareth Green says, I realized the Vietnam War was a waste of resources and lives,

but the world would be a better place if South Vietnam had been saved, which we could have if we had played it to win. Iraq was a mistake, no question. Look, I'll tell you, I'm very grateful about the U.S. involvement in Korea. What can I say? I don't like military intervention, but it has a lot to do with my family and they were fleeing and what happened to my family later on and what it means for the people of South Korea to be free and be able to thrive and have some of the best technology companies on the planet. And North Korea is

sad. And if the U.S. wasn't involved, all of Korea would be a communist wasteland. Helmsway says, Tim, I am the man wearing the shirt you showed earlier. The look on my girlfriend's face when I took it out of the package and put it on was priceless. Teespring changed my design. Well, thank you guys for buying the shirt and letting me know what happened when it did. I think you guys got the very first one. So for everybody else expect probably yours to come soon and uh well now there's going to be like a thousand of them

we'll see mr hunt first name mike says antifa literally the most ignorant fools on the planet yeah braden says did you hear about biden rolling an armored convoy into syria i did it was reported by uh it was it is it itv it was a publication from i believe jordan wasn't it well there was syrian state television reported it but then there was also i think it was itv reported it yeah and then several others were reporting it some tried downplaying it saying the u.s moves convoys all the time others are saying biden took wasted no time ramping up the military presence in syria well others are saying it's reinforcement to the already very small number of troops in the northeast and russia it looks like also matched it with their own reinforcements and over 300

soldiers that they just sent to that same region he's escalating our troop force in syria well we're gonna find out uh we can't independently verify that for now okay looks like it curious curious mishap says germans starved death when the berlin wall was in place america lied about sending supplies that's what my german grandmother remembered while we watched a documentary on it never trust the media or was it that the government of east germany lied to your grandmother it's really hard to know who was of East Germany lied to your grandmother? It's really hard to know who was being honest. You might believe your grandmother, and I respect that,

but was your grandmother being manipulated and lied to by communists? Communists are not known for having food. So just a heads up, you know, my family had to go through it too in Poland. A lot of them ended up hungry, and a lot of them didn't have the basic necessities that we take advantage of right now daniel maxwell says reads luke's shirt so who wishes that george orwell had not been so accurate with his predictions for the future i mean i like it boy did i call it or what i think he's a fantastic writer if you guys haven't read 1984 an animal well he's a fascinating person his real real name was Eric Blair. He literally was involved in wars. He was a MI5 agent. His story is just absolutely profound,

to say the least. Animal Farm, also another great book that a lot of people don't, you know, attribute to him. But there's so many important pieces of literature that he puts together that really are worth reading. And a lot of the public school systems are pushing them out. I remember being introduced to them in the New York City public school system. And I remember being fascinated by both of those books. And they had a tremendous impact on me. I found that Animal Farm was like a story about the rise of totalitarianism. And then 1984 was a story about a system that was already totalitarian. So it's almost like they were a sequel.

Bob Samardzik says, Ian, you're the effing man. That is all. What up, homie? Mathias says, can you please talk about the book called The Creature of Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin? I think everyone in the world should read this book. I have it downstairs the world should read this book.

I have it downstairs. It's a huge book. We should have G. Edward Griffin on. He's an amazing, smart individual that interviewed the KGB agent. We'll just let Ian talk to him. I've talked to him on Twitter. But he doesn't just talk about the Federal Reserve. He talks about a lot of stuff.

The CIA. He knows a lot about a lot cia food medicine all this other stuff that uh okay pretty eye-opening g edward shinobi kenobi says tim won't say certain things to prevent from getting banned on youtube but wanted trump to bar nassan etc when corrupt rsnds held conviction over his head and destruction of he and his family's lives yeah there is a balancing act don Donald Trump was on his way out. And there's a difference between, I guess, the comfort of the president as he's losing all of his, you know, about to lose all of the power he has and dropping one last bomb.

And me sitting here thinking, if we can talk about 95% of things that are extremely important, the mainstream media won't cover and we can call them out. And that means there are 5% of things I'll have to put on my own website I think that makes sense if I was told by YouTube you will be banned effective tomorrow I would make the craziest video you've ever seen

and I would just I'd be like here's what we're going to do what we're doing now is yeah there's some things I can't say on YouTube and it's only a couple things it's like a name and I mean it's really the only thing I really have to worry about saying some guy's name and swearing and stuff, but we can talk about all that clean and safe at Timcast.com. So that's the plan.

You got to be smart. It's about playing 4d chess, man. I'm not just going to like, I don't, I don't understand why there are people who are like, Tim, why don't you say something and get banned instantly?

So you can't work or talk to talk about anything anymore. That makes no sense. So what we're doing is what we've accomplished on YouTube, the resources we've acquired, we're making a proprietary website that can't be banned for the most part, and finding ways to make sure we can always get you the real news and accurate information while leveraging the resources we have. Let's be honest, we got to choose our battles. Some battles, we're just going to be obliterated and totally destroyed and never be able to fight again if we decide to fight those battles. And just like you did, I started doing the same thing on wearechanged.org. I have a very similar system. I have certain videos that I know would get

automatically banned that I just put on there and people could see them. But there's other creators who got banned that are criticizing me right now. And I understand where they're coming from but at the same time when you see people who got nuked their reach is tremendously limited and we have to you know do things in a way where we reach as many people as we can with so many important things and and you you make that compromise and we have to be honest and i want to stress this too do you think that donald trump caving to the deep state is going to is going to save him of course it's not they're they're they're coming for this guy dude the the state ags are coming for him he negotiated nothing in fact in my opinion if assange did get

out and assange could work to expose what was being done to him and his family he'd be better off instead i wouldn't be surprised if they convict the guy and then they take away everything from him and they say you had your chance and you blew it why it's it's it's like it reminds me of any superhero movie where the villain is like give me this and i'll let you go it's like why should i trust the villain yeah you know gi joe that was always cobra commander hanging on the ledge help me and then duke's like helps him when he pushes him off the ledge is that really that really happened yeah it's cobra commander you can't trust cobra commander exactly so look i i admit it's Cobra Commander. You can't trust Cobra Commander. Exactly.

So look, I admit it's tough. And there's probably a lot of things I don't know about what happened with Trump. Maybe what they threatened him with was something worse than I could possibly imagine. So I'll respect that. And I'll respect what you were saying for sure. I can't pretend to be perfect.

Gareth Green says, I humbly submit that the corruption of the American medical industry is because of government intervention therein. And a real free market would make those problems evaporate. Perhaps. Gabriel Montiel says, I had my wisdom teeth taken out in Colombia for 25 bucks each, and they did an amazing job. Wow. Yeah.

But did you get them pulled or surgically removed? You know what they do in Mexico? I think you were telling me this. They use your own blood. Yeah. To heal the wound in your mouth after the surgery. They did that to me. They don't do that here.

I think they might some places. I saw giant gaping holes where they used to be. I had them surgically removed. That was an intense moment. So I got a wisdom tooth put in there. They had to like, you know, it's basically cutting up your mouth. Yeah, they cut a hole and then dig it out. And then what they do in Mexico is they take your own blood

to help build up the area and it heals faster. PRP. PRP. Platelet-rich plasma. They'll also use that to inject into wounds like knees and things like that for runners. And it heals people faster. So when I had dental work done,

they were like, oh, we're just going to take your blood. And I'm like, okay, give me the Myers-Briggs cocktail. Give me some vitamin C. And give me some other stuff and they were myers-briggs uh i think there's a specific like um immune system boosting cocktail that they have a whole bunch of vitamins isn't myers-briggs like entj's personality test i'm probably butchering it and probably had another fraudulent slip or you said in the other on the segment, you said lower the decimals. Same thing.

You know what I'm trying to say. You're just trying to be elitist. Stop trying to be elitist. Bragg's. Bragg's is the company that puts out all that health food. And the Myers-Briggs is a personality test, I think. It sounds very similar. Someone's going to correct me.

I'm being blackmailed here. Jandon Patterson says, Tim A. Mecca says, hi. I bet this chat chat won't be read. If you do read it, I will send another super chat and become a member of the Tim cast dot com site. Found this channel like seven or eight months ago and couldn't believe that. And then there's a there's one more. Let me see. There's another one.

It's always hard because if the numbers are different, it's hard to. There we go. A YouTube dude like Mr. Milky Toast and button masher Lydia and a few other, plus T-shirt Luke and Ian Wannabe, Men Vitality Spinner. And there's one more. I love this. Carry on. Let me try and find the next one.

Speaking of the male vitality, I had some in my coffee earlier. Ooh, nice. Oh, it's hard to find three. Oh, where's the third one? Oh, no. Third time's a charm. Come on, we can do this. I'm looking for it.

It'd be a nice feature if you could link your super chats together. Oh, YouTube just jumped on me. Oh, no. It's the Mayer's cocktail. Oh. Mayer's. Okay. Yeah.

Like Myers or Mayers? M-Y-E-R-S. Oh, okay. Okay. Myers. Yeah. Not Myers. It has like vitamin B, vitamin C, and a whole bunch of other stuff in there.

That sounds good. That sounds good. I'm trying to find the third and a whole bunch of other stuff in there. That sounds good. That sounds good. I'm trying to find the third and last super jet. It's a puzzle. But I can't find it. You can. Oh, mystery. No, you can do it.

No, I can't find it. I don't see it, dude. You can do anything. Magnesium, calcium, a whole bunch of stuff. That sounds great. Yeah. It's like a multivitamin. Yeah, but intravenously.

Oh, very cool. Oh, they give it for your body to heal after surgery? Yeah, so when they were taking out my blood to do the PRP, I was like, just give me some extra vitamins and stuff, and they did it. And I think they've made that also illegal in the United States and in some states as well. Interesting. All right, well, I'll have to find the Super Chat eventually, but we have too many.

But let's read some more. Oh, that's sad. All right, well, I'll have to find the super chat eventually, but we have too many. But let's read some more. Jose Pereira says, I just read an article about how Apple spent $90,000 for lobbyists to educate policymakers regarding bill to stop Uyghur slave labor from Daily Caller. Wow, that's creepy stuff. I don't like it. Ricky Bobby says, Hey, Tim, I watched an hour long podcast with Raul Paul from Real Vision Investments. It isn't that goods are inflating. It's the fact that our wages are deflating gives the appearance of inflation, but it's not. Interesting stuff.

Really interesting. Do you guys? Was it you? I think you said that Joe Biden is Joe Bob Jr. No, no, but I don't think it's Bob. It's Robinette. So it's Robin. I think Joe Robin.

I think calling him Bob might be wrong. The short for Rob could be Bob. Yeah, but I don't think it's Bob. It's Robinette, so it's Robin, I think. Joe Robin. I think calling him Bob might be wrong. The short for Rob could be Bob. Yeah, it is. Could be Joe Bob, but I got to ask him. Joe Bob Jr. Joe Rob. I don't know what's short for Robinette if it's Bob or Robin. Bob's good enough.

Uncle President Joe Bob Jr. Bobby. Some other people are also mentioning Bunker Branding, so we'll definitely check them out. Matthew Gregory says, second attempt at Super Chat. My brother was hurt and attempted robbery on him. He owes 50 K in hospital fees. America insurance can suck. Yes, that is true.

Let's see. Lady Cynthia says, hey, Tim, have you heard of Vulcan West Virginia? They had to ask the USSR to build a bridge for them because the US government would not. Wow. Really? That's amazing. Curtis sees as a politician should never be paid a salary more than the median income of their constituents san francisco median income is

53 000 if the government is for and by uh for by and of the people they should be paid accordingly i like that the challenge is you know like andrew yang said we should actually pay politicians a ridiculous amount to disincentivize disloyalty. Because if the lobbyists are like, you're not making any money, trust me, we'll make you rich. If they're rich from their public service job, they're going to be like, nah, you're going to jeopardize the rich life I already have. I don't know. It could go either way because some people are going to be like, I'll take more money. I don't care. Most of them are psychopaths that have unlimited hunger for power and money.

So I don't know if that would work. Yep. Yeah, they just want more. Yep. Rob Ingram says, Dude here in PA, the Liquor Control Board has a monopoly that makes it so financially hard on restaurants and bars.

Let's deregulate, abolish the PA Liquor Control Board. There you go. Amen. Good call. Dis says, Check out Reddit Simulator. It's Reddit with all bots talking to out reddit simulator it's reddit with all bots talking to each other and it's very creepy i've seen that it's amazing yeah gareth

green says parlor is not gone they found a new web host epic yeah but they're only doing i think like a splash page for now tanner barnes says the donald win got taken down that's not true it changed to patriots.win because donald trump isn't president anymore so like what do you do so i guess they just rebranded for a variety of reasons and they're all still basically doing the same thing that was obviously calming too because i mean there's a community here that believes in something they're not going to just go away so they they made it work it is what it is i do i do think what they're doing with the win community is a good thing because it's effectively creating a decentralized Reddit.

And so a lot of these banned communities are showing up. I don't agree with some of these, and I think some of these communities have crazy people in them, but people have a right to free speech to be protected. Harold Cole says, you should really check out Bunker Branding for t-shirt printing and sales. We will. That's awesome. RJ Lures says, did you see the new Joe Rogan with Tulsi? She was basically exposing how corrupt and treasonous the Dems are. And Joe would just gloss over it.

Tulsi, you should come on this show. We won't, we won't gloss over it. And I'm a big fan and, uh, I'll leave it there, but,

uh, definitely would love to have Tulsi on, uh, still a big fan, supported her throughout her, her campaign. And I really believed in what she was, what she was doing.

And I really respect the military service. I had a night where i was in my apartment thinking about tulsi and supporting her and i just started crying that's how into it i was she's great she's amazing yeah she's super cool dude so legit brandon tom says you say what uh what happened to turn the other cheek and then fault republicans for doing nothing? What is the appropriate middle ground, if any? Well, when we're talking about turning the cheek, I think we're referencing violence and stuff, you know, like not engaging in the same tit for tat. That's not resulting in anything.

Impeaching Donald Trump wasn't a solution to anything. It was chaos. The problem with Republicans is they're not advocating for Republicans or even Americans. Republicans aren't coming out there and being like, we're going to propose a bill that will rescind these laws curtailing people's gun rights. Like, think about this. We've had a bunch of bans. Like, are Republicans on board with the bump stock ban?

Like, what do you think about that? Most of the Republicans know it's an extremely big overreach of power that criminalized millions of Americans and made them felons overnight. And Republicans support it. Donald Trump supported it, and he pushed it through. And it's absolutely insane because previous gun restrictive measures were measures that would grandfather people in, that wouldn't automatically turn people into felonies. But if you had this thing overnight felony jail possession uh for for something that people were were buying knowingly so it was a huge step forward in in gun uh in anti-gun

legislation that really should have been pushed back immediately we got a question for luke dice goblin says luke question for you if we have no taxes how do the men and women who choose to serve get paid for their service? There's many other. You plunder. I love it. I love it. Let's do it. You say, we give you carte blanche to raid that country and whatever you get is yours. Heck yeah.

Well, no. You plunder. Obviously not. You would have other incentives that you could do and also other collectives that you could reach and agree upon. That's so vague. Of course it is. Wait, do you think we should repeal all taxes?

I don't like taxes. I don't like taxes. I think a lot of people usually like to nitpick these larger ANCAP ideas when, of course, a lot of them are just like northern stars. They're navigations of where we should be heading towards because obviously the taxes are way too high. So to take everything literal is a little bit disingenuous, but to say that it's a good starting point to aim for is good. Do I have all the answers and solutions when we get there?

I don't. So you think we need less taxes? 100%. I don't like that I don't know where my taxes go. Yeah, you can look that up. Black budget. There's a thing called a black budget. The problem is the size and scale of things make it impossible for a regular person to actually be able to do this.

Like, you can actually look up the budgets and the expenditures and stuff, but you've got to be an expert to understand it. And do the math. Yeah, it's not easy. And so it's the scale of things that are making it very difficult to track what's going on. And, well, Luke mentions the Federal Reserve missing money and stuff like that. Yeah, the Pentagon came up with like 1.3 trillion they lost. When the government has enough money to give to foreign countries, that's when you know they have too much money.

When the Pentagon loses a trillion dollars, I was looking for that story earlier. I couldn't find it. They moved around through $35 trillion in budgeting a couple years ago, the Pentagon. Are you guys familiar with that? I don't know if it was that much. But even before 9-11, there was trillions of dollars missing, and no one could account for them. Like the day before 9-11, it was like September 10th, the Pentagon misplaced $1.3 trillion. I asked Donald Rumsfeld about that. Well, we got a super chat here for Ian.

Uncultured Barbarian says, wrong night, but Ian's right. Trump definitely corrupt. 1997 Rothschilds bailed him out because Taj Mahal bankrupted him. They own half of that casino and several of his properties. Former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is source. Interesting. I was thinking about the nepotism

conversation, and then today I was like, I think kind of what bothers me is that he surrounded himself with yes-men, including his daughter and his daughter's husband. That's not true, dude. They were just like, daddy. People would have to find him. She cried. She got him to go to war over crying.

What did he do? They were defying him and leaking everything, dude. He hired a bunch of bad people who didn't help him and didn't work for him. You want to hire people that will confront you and push back on your ideas. But instead, the people he hired were secretly leaking things behind his back. Yeah. They were like yes men, and then they betrayed him. He was probably the most leaked on, no pun intended president of the united states like he if people pushed

back on him he would fire him so they would all be like yes yes yes and then they'd leak the the incense well we got a very important chris lamson says where can i get a print of the art behind luke this art is from george alexopolis also known as G Prime 85 on social media. And I believe he sells prints and it's some of the best art ever. In fact, behind Luke is Joe Biden eating OK Boomer Girl. And behind Ian, there's two. There's one with Joe Rogan. And then there's one on the ground of Joe Biden also eating a little girl.

There we go. He released a really good one today with Joe Bidene biden playing with toy soldiers and throwing them back in and they ended up in parking lots right right right right that was pretty good there's a good tim cast irl episode with george george alexopoulos yeah we should get him back on yeah pavraj grew all says yo tim biden just sent more troops into syria and is sending more to iraq and israel just killed four people. Biden America. Yeah. Josh says, could you add a number of retweets like and or mentions when you see the sycophantic tweets?

Sycophantic? Would be nice to know when those tweets are just yelling fire in a theater but very limited views may help turn down the temperature. Yeah, there was somebody claiming like a bunch of the leftists are trying to get Fox News banned, saying that Fox News is essentially yelling fire in a crowded theater. So it's illegal, obviously.

And it's like people don't realize you're legally allowed to yell fire in a crowded theater. But the theater will throw you out. I mean, if they want to. They don't have to. You're allowed to say it. Is it? It is legal?

It is legal. To go tell people that something is about to happen if it's not? Yes, it is. It is a myth. Even Don Lemon recently, like a week or two ago, Chris, I think it was like, I think it something that's about to happen if it's not yes it is really it is a myth even don lemon recently like a week or two ago what a chris i think it was like i think it was chris cuomo who said you can't yell fire in a crowded theater and don goes no no that's not true that's not true you can't say that that's a myth and cuomo was like it is true it is true it's like cuomo you're like he

was a lawyer wasn't he there's no idea what he's talking about getting crazy if i'm in a movie theater i see someone scream fire in front of me i'm just gonna take a look he doesn't say anything but he says it again i'm gonna kick his chair all right so it's like problem solved yeah christian larson says dictator biden has turned all comments on the white house youtube channel off but it was uh the will of the people that voted him in i don't think he's allowed to do that i think you could file a suit right now. Like anybody could. Did Donald Trump have his comments on for the White House?

But when he blocked people, they argued that those posts were forums and the government has no right to shut them down. So Biden, the White House team doing this, I think it's unconstitutional and people should sue. It's different than banning individuals just shutting the forum off. I mean, they're scared of people's voices. Well, yeah, because Trump didn't shut the forum down. He just removed certain people. Shutting the forum down might be okay. All right, let's see.

Akira Express Trucker says Republicans are not pro 2A. They are pro 2A when it's politically convenient, but are the party that passes a legislation to control access. Yep. Yep. All right, let's see. Let's just do, we'll do one more here. Big Toe says, we'll do a couple more turn on him uh turn to him the other cheek is not about

violence it's about insult a slap in the face nuke the ice caps says not a fan of all the free money it's very hard to explain to desperate people that free comes with a lot of debt and consequences i try to explain this i've had people say yeah but they're gonna give me money idiocracy is now a documentary.
