Episode Date: February 12, 2021

Tim, Ian, Luke, and Luke, and Lydia join Blaire White to discuss what it means that Gina Carano has been fired from Disney and is joining right-wing twitter, whether we should blame Trump for the lack of Big Tech reform, the US as an oligarchy, the Gavin Newsom recall in California, and the transfer of wealth as a result of Covid.

A couple nights ago, I was talking, we had, actually, when was this? It was last week. Jack Murphy was on the podcast. And I think we were talking about Mandalorian. And I said, you know, I give it like a C+. I enjoyed the first season. It's okay. But not good enough to where I was like, oh, I got to watch season two.

And then he said, no, no, trust me, like it gets better. And I was like, all right, I'll watch it. So I started watching these episodes and I really do enjoy the show. I think it's great. And I think Gina Carano particularly does a great job as Cara Dune. Well, as most of you know, she has been canceled, fired over what is like a pretty mild post that actually was, I mean, she was basically saying, don't demonize your neighbor. Well, any excuse for the woke mob to destroy someone for whatever reason, and it was taken.

And now it's not just about the criticism over cancel culture. It turns out Pedro Pascal, the lead of the show, had a very similar tweet in 2018, where he compared or he was trying to compare the United States to World War Two Germany. The only problem, what people are saying, and I'm not sure I've in fact, it's a fact check this. So check me out. Check me on this one. The image he posted wasn't even from America. It was 2010. And it wasn't even kids in cages because the door is like open. It was just some nonsensical, you know, virtue signal. But that was fine.

For Gina Carano to say, hey, you know, don't demonize your neighbor. That's what they did in World War II Germany. They're like, that is abhorrent. How dare you defend Republicans? And thus, she's been fired from Lucasfilms, which she was also supposed to get like another show they were reporting, also dropped from her agency, United Talent, which is one of the biggest agencies. That's huge. So we got a big cancel culture episode for you guys today because we've got mass censorship. We've got, you know, there's this documentary that got pulled down. I don't

know a whole lot about it and I'm not here to praise it or criticize it. Just talk about the removal. It's called Planet Lockdown. The media says it was a conspiracy theory document but it got 20 million views before it was removed and now we don't even know what was being said so we're going to talk about all this stuff and other things like what apparently biden wanted some restrictions on florida because florida is releasing the lockdown it's going to get spicy but joining us today we have an awesome uh guest the ultra famous blair white. I wore a beanie just for you to be on brand. To be on brand. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, it is mandatory, but Luke and Ian just continually defy the rules. Shirk the law. We're rebellious. Do you want to just give a brief introduction for people who might not know you? Yeah, sure. I'm a YouTuber, internet personality, I guess. I've been around since 2016. I do a lot of commentary on culture, and you and I have kind of ran in the same

circles for a few years. So is this our first time doing something on camera together? I think so. I think we were at an event once together. Yeah, it was the MythCon thing. And we hung out in LA once. Oh, that was like the Con 2017. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, right on. Those were the days.

It's time for a... The real criticism of My Pillow is that it's my pillow. No, no. Our pillow. That's right. We're in this together. But let's... We'll talk about cancel culture. Before, no, our pillow. That's right. We're in this together. But let's let's let's we'll talk about cancel culture before we do. Head over to Timcast dot com.

Become a member because we've got some pretty serious stuff that we just put up. We did an after show members only exclusive segment with Matt Brainerd we had on last night talking about. Well, let me just read the title. Matt Brainerd announces report on illegal ballots in Georgia and explains the results. And we get I don't know. We may have said things that YouTube would actually ban. So we wanted to make sure that it was on the website.

If you want to watch it, become a member. And there's this. I'll be careful with what I say, because, you know, YouTube is ban happy. We're literally talking about cancel culture and the threat where we try and speak freely. They'll nuke you. So we have no choice but to put it on the website. However, in the future, we will have free content. Just for for the time being we don't actually have it set up that way so but if you become a member you'll get access to all of these uh podcast episodes segments etc that being said uh one more time timcast.com like

share subscribe this video let's talk about the latest news with lucasfilm you guys maybe have heard because it's been the number one trending story last night after we did the show. We have this from Variety. Lucasfilm and United Talent dropped Mandalorian star Gina Carano following offensive social media posts. I'm sorry.

I don't think the posts. Well, look, I guess offensive is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. But she basically made a post. It looked like she was quoting someone else who said that in World War Two Germany, they pitted neighbor against neighbor. And that's what gave the you know, the political party there. I would just say the Nazis, the ability to then

round people up. They got the people of the country all angry. They were demagoguing. The crazy thing about what she posted is it's exactly what the left has been complaining about with Donald Trump. They said Donald Trump is a demagogue who is villainizing people and tearing us apart. So then Gina Carano is basically like, yeah, you know what? That's what they did in World War II Germany. We shouldn't do this. And they're like, oh, you bigot, ban her. Well, the big news, the big update is that, well, Disney's kind of getting slammed because Pedro Pascal did something very similar, and he's the star of the show.

So he's able to post these comparisons claiming the U.S. is like Nazi Germany. Nobody cares. This should be just proof to anybody that we're dealing with hypocrites who don't actually care about what they're saying. It is absolute BS. And I canceled my Disney+.

You guys canceled Disney+. I never got it. I don't have it. I use my Disney Plus you guys canceled Disney Plus? I never got it I don't have it I use my friends login I don't support the chai comms are you supposed to edit that? I don't know but I think what's interesting

is that she didn't even mention leftists or democrats or the left in her post unless I'm mistaken no no there's nothing like that so it's kind of like if the shoe fits

like if someone's talking about Nazis and you get mad you might be a Nazi right and like you said the entirety of the left has been making nazi comparisons for the past four or five years over trump and over right-wingers in general why did they fire gina carano like i've been thinking about this all day because i recorded a segment earlier in

the morning it can't be for the stated reason maybe they just didn't want her they like they wanted to find a reason to fire her and they were like oh that's our chance well she's been an undercover Hollywood conservative for a minute I remember back in I think it was August or September they tried to get her back then too because she made some kind of post about pronouns in bio yeah she made a boot pump beep post

and which I thought was funny is that a meme or something or is this she was making fun of like R2D2 saying that was the pronouns it was funny is that a meme or something or is this um it was she was making fun of like r2d2 saying that was the pronoun yeah it was funny she also posted about individuals like epstein and as you know a lot of people in hollywood and government are usually connected to individuals like that and you know it's just absolutely scary and dangerous what's happening because it's so orwellian it's so backwards we have unaccountable billionaire corporate executives deciding which speech is okay and which which

speech they should censor because it's dangerous when in reality them doing that is dangerous and it's absolutely ridiculous but that's why i'm saying i don't think i i feel like there's something else going on here yeah of course yeah because what do you mean well the the boot bop beep thing was more offensive you know it was like it was considered offensive to uh pronouns or whatever not that not that i think it was offensive i like none of it's offensive everyone is so there must be something else too i don't get it maybe she made the wrong people mad yeah everyone's so jaded defiance that's what i'm thinking you can't fake offense there's no way i mean we saw a little of the kind of like outrage

by the blue check marks yesterday before the major decision was made because we were talking about actually talking about this story right before we went on and i didn't think they'd fire her i didn't think it would go this far and then after the show i'm like holy cow they they they fired her from the show and then a lot of actors are pissed off a lot of people on the show are pissed off and they should be i mean this is leading towards this kind of situation that's going to cause brain drain in one way or another whether it's people who want to come here who are going to be afraid because people are just getting canceled because of their opinions that are milquetoast that are not even that wild that are not even that partisan she was talking about a historical reference where people were riled up so much that

they started to hate their neighbor you know something of course that that that many people prove by the actions today is a legitimate threat and they proved it they proved it's exactly what's happening yeah you know this reminded me of when uh luke and i were in hamburg germany for the g20 there was a moment where lu Luke was just walking down the street with just like a random local journalist, and someone pointed and yelled Nazi Schweinhund at Luke, and then random people who were just sitting nearby jumped up and randomly started punching him.

You can tell the story better than I can. Well, I mean, I even have history of my family fighting the Nazis, fighting the communists as a Polish-born proud person. I'm like, why am I in Germany getting called a Nazi, getting attacked and beaten up by the Germans? But think about this. What was particularly striking about what happened to you was that

there were people just sitting on the ground, like on the curb, and as soon as they heard the word, they jumped up, having no idea who you are or what you were doing, and started beating you. And it was brutal because it wasn't just one group of people. It was organized in a way where I was able to push away, get away. And then down the block, someone would hit me.

And then down the block, someone else would hit me. And I'm like, I can't, I had to keep running because they were everywhere. And they were, there was literal squads of individuals with my photos and a whole team of them running around, not just my photos. There was other journalists, independent journalists, mainstream media journalists that weren't even connected to us they just had photos taken next to us there were just our friends that were just there that had nothing to do and with anything political they got the crap beat out of them because they had antifa hit squads literally looking at photos running through all the crowds that's not the

issue right the issue is that there were people who didn't have those photos who were just like there's there was like a guy and he's like sitting on the ground eating chips and then as soon as he hears someone yell nazi he runs up and starts hitting luke having no idea why he's doing it what i see with what gina carano posted and what and then what happens now still with the same it's it's the same thing i don't care if they're fascists or anti-fascists they seem to love to just randomly beat people they don't know. Granted, one was substantially worse. We're trying to stop the authoritarians from moving in this direction. Why? Because Disney fires Gina Carano while thanking the paramilitary group in Xinjiang that is running Uyghur concentration camps. So forgive me if you're like, how dare you compare Antifa to the fascists?

Well, the Antifa people apparently are cheering on Disney, who is thanking the paramilitary group running a concentration camp of a religious minority. So it kind of feels like we're getting dangerously close to some real world parallels. And she proved it today with her post. And Lucasfilm released a statement and they said her twitter posts were

quote adhorrent and unacceptable i mean are you kidding me and those are the statements that of course twitter of course ran with so whenever you clicked on the story it said gina was fired for adhorrent social media posts and of course they don't they don't mention they don't list what the post was and when you really look at it jeffreystein, this beep-bop thing, this Nazi comparison, not even comparison, but just saying, hey, this happened during history. We shouldn't let it happen now. Hold on. Wasn't Walt Disney like a raging anti-Semite? He was, yes.

Yes. Well, there you go. He's offended that Disney's offended because she's calling them out. If anyone should be canceled, it's Disney for their participation with the Uyghur Muslim police force. They're tied with Walt Disney of all people. Their cartoons also have a long history that's very controversial.

There's a lot of things we can bring up. If we're going to do anything, not just cancel your membership, cancel Disney all in general. If you want to play by these rules, cancel all of these people. I'll have to tell my friend to cancel his account that I'm using. But you know what? I wish that there were more. I wish people weren't such cowards.

Because half of Hollywood is conservative. Okay? I would say half. Generous. Okay. And no one is speaking up on her behalf that is a conservative in Hollywood. No one. And it's like they're just sitting there hoping that it doesn't eventually hit them and it's going to whether it's in february the summer

fall at some point they're going to get you too because in my opinion celebrities who don't speak about politics are always conservatives and we talked about that earlier it's like if you're not talking about it you're probably at least right-leaning and that's all it takes because like we said she wasn't even saying anything super partisan. I was in I was in L.A. a couple years ago and there was some like B-list celebrity guy and he was talking to people and someone who was, you know, we're out in the street. One of the guys who was there was a Trump supporter. And so he was talking to the celebrity. And then when everyone started leaving, he's like, this dude voted for Trump. And he goes, come on, come on, come on.

Don't tell anybody. And then he looked at me and he's like, dude, yeah but i can't no one can know and i'm like i get it but like i also hate it yeah that everyone is so cowardly because at the end of the day because no one's speaking up it does make the few people who speak up they take all of the heat and i've always talked about that so it's it's very frustrating i've always hung out with some like celebrities whenever i go to la and all of them treat me like their secret girlfriend they're like just don't tell anyone we're you know i'm like i'm like dude you don't even gotta tell me that i'm like i'm like i'm not you know fan boring or gonna take a picture with you just relax and calm down like i love your stuff let's talk about this let's

talk about this i want to know about this and then they're dying to talk about they're dying to talk about it they love that they have a lot of passion. And I'm not going to tell you exactly who it is, but there's a bunch of them. And there's a big community of people that have to literally be quiet about their own personal beliefs about something that they truly deep damn believe is true that they can't even openly talk about because they're scared of getting the hammer across their head. Those ideas will die with them. That's it. That's the point. If you don't say them, they go away. It's like the mask, right?

You wear the mask so you can't spit the coronavirus at people. So they're putting a mask over your ears so that you can't... Well, actually, no, it's literally a digital mask and a physical mask. This is what's really crazy about what's going on. I think the reason they got rid of Gina is not because of this one post. It's because she's a rebel, because she defies the orthodoxy. It's a series of posts, and they're like, we cannot have someone going against us because they don't want this individual gaining power. They don't want celebrities to go up and foment some kind of revolt against the establishment. But I tell you what's worrying.

I mentioned this before. You can't go to a bar. The bars are all under restrictions. So people aren't meeting each other. They're not sharing ideas. They're not talking. So they go online. But those ideas online that are bad are filtered out because it's hate speech or wrong think or whatever. So what they're doing is the longer they stay locked down, the more they are controlling exactly what people think and hear and say. That is so true.

And, you know, they, so I live in LA, pray for me. And they just started reopening outdoor dining. Of course, it's freezing. No one's eating outdoors. But along with it was a stipulation that you couldn't turn the TV on in restaurants. Restaurant owners could not have their TVs on. And it's like, it really is about a control of information a control conversation and like you said of meeting people exchanging ideas starting

to question why have i been on my knees begging for money for the past year from the government why like maybe the mask thing doesn't make as much sense as people think maybe this doesn't make as much sense it's about control of the conversation and it's so disturbing we're gonna get banned instagram just said they're gonna start banning people for hate speech and direct messages. Yeah, it's not just them. I mean, we could list a whole number of individuals that were banned, that were hit today. But I think the larger context of why this is happening is this larger insecurity police state that we've seen be the epitome of the Biden administration. We've seen them representatively be surrounded by police officers trying to look tough. And I think this is another

example of this exemplified with just striking someone down who wasn't really saying anything controversial, wasn't saying anything crazy. But this is going to have a chilling effect, not just in Hollywood, but in the larger social media political spectrum where people are like, well, I don't want my Twitter account taken down. I better not even dare to talk about history, because if I do, they're going to destroy me, and I'm going to lose my job. My agency is going to take me down.

And then this is going to reverberate amongst people, and we have to understand it only works because we let it work. This chilling effect, this fear, this silencing efforts have been done in many coordinated ways. And this is why for so many reasons, big tech oligarchs, social media companies like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube,

they never tell you exactly why they ban you. They never give you a reason. They never give you a way to even answer yourself or even have a fair hearing or even have a decision that you could be held accountable for. No.

Blanket cut. No accountability. No transparency. Life sentence. Life sentence forever deleted from the discourse, not being able to talk ever. Because why? We don't even know. And that's the reason. People don't want to experience that. And the way I know it's real, what people are feeling, that fear that you talked about, is that even I sometimes catch myself feeling it. And the way I know it's real, what people are feeling that fear that you talked about is that even I sometimes catch myself feeling it. And I have made a living off being outspoken on the internet for years. And even I sometimes before I say something, I'm like, should I say that? Which always makes me want to say more. But still, it's like, imagine the person who is working in nine to five who is working in a corporate environment where they can't say

anything. You know, my fiance was working at a job where over the summer, he's not working there anymore, so I can say this now, but his job was donating a ton of proceeds from the shoots he was doing. He works in production in Hollywood. From money they made to bailing out rioters. And he couldn't say anything about it. He's like, so I'm working in this company generating revenue and they're sending that to bail out rioters

who are destroying the city I'm living in, where I'm now unsafe because they're destroying the city I'm living in. So that's what it is. People can't say anything. Hollywood is funding terrorists. Basically. Yeah. You have people who go around threatening you.

They threaten your business. They threaten your life. They destroy it. And then you have these personalities, these faux progressives who cheer that on. Right. Then when they deploy the national guard in mass to dc to lock the place down these supposed anti-fascists who think the u.s government is this evil empire cheer that on right what no these are people who are just they're they're they're

bootlickers but that's probably being generous they're literally the boot they're a tool of the state to suppress what happened to the a-cab all cops are bad what happened to that i to that that went out the window so quick once they were well the national guard aren't cops so yeah but an unarmed woman was shot and killed right and the story now apparently this this this officer from the capitol wasn't actually hitting the head yeah they don't know what happened they think the some reports i saw said they think it may have been pepper spray well there's reports of him answering back and talking to family saying he was okay and then the next day passing away and then it's still a mystery because we don't know what happened and if you look at the casualty rates i mean there's a heart attack there's someone being trampled it's all trump supporters even even

there's reports of the of the officer being a trump supporter uh and still a lot of mystery why can't we find out what's going on especially if we're going to be using this event for such an example to lead us into this new political sphere? We should understand what happened here if we're going to use this as an example and keep talking about it, right? You know what I love? I love all of a sudden the Democrats, like, falling over themselves to defend Mitt Romney. There's, like, a video of Mitt Romney being ushered to safety, and they're like, Mitt Romney was almost hurt. And I'm like, is this the first time you cared about a Republican? Right.

I think so. I'm old enough to remember the things that were said about Bush, McCain, Romney. It's like they treated him and maybe people that are a little younger than me. I guess I'm not that old. Don't remember. But they treated them just like Trump. Like Romney was racist and sexist. And McCain was racist and sexist.

I don't know. Dog on the car. Oh, I remember that. I don't remember that. like Romney was racist and sexist and McCain was racist and sexist. And so it was, I don't know. Dog on the car. Oh, I remember that. I don't remember that. He put a dog care on his roof or something. Yeah.

Mitt Romney is awful. He is awful, but it's like rewriting and suddenly everyone loves him. It's like, Oh, I can, I can respect that. They don't want the man to get hurt.

I don't want to get hurt either. I mean, I like the guy, but I wish him nothing but safety and, you know, a long life and happiness with his family so i get it but i just love this idea that people screaming he was a fascist trying to take over the country in 2012 all of a sudden they're like this poor man oh okay we have to understand these are limited people

and their reactions that benefit the establishment these are a few people these are not the majority of people these are not a big representation of everyone. There's not that many of them, but when they do speak, their voices are elevated through the algorithms, through, of course, the news feeds that curate and make you see this to spin this larger divide and conquer cycle. And I think by and large, people don't like this because when you look at the number one downloaded app in the world right now, can you guys guess what it is? TikTok? TikTok. Nope, Telegram. Telegram.

The third one is Signal. All communication efforts. I heard negative things about Telegram. I still have to do more research about this. They've been accused of censoring posts as well and working with governments. I still haven't been able to verify that. I need to do my own research on that. But when you look at Telegram, when you look at Signal, they represent communications that are away from the control of

the state, away from the moderators, away from the mainstream media that will censor you and try to ruin you and take away your job and take away your existence as a human being in our society for having the wrong political opinion. And essentially, I mean, what we're seeing here is journalists, some blue checkmark individuals being highlighted, promoted by these big tech oligarchs that are celebrating the destruction of someone's career. And that's sick in its own twisted own way. And then the analogy I had here, it's like they're smelling blood in the water, but the sharks aren't the journalists.

The big tech billionaires are the sharks and the journalists are the bottom feeders that are eating off the shark's poop. Family friendly show. I was going to say something else. That's the analogy of what's happening right now. And that's why we're seeing even Mexico propose a law just recently

that would open up big tech media companies to fines. We'll get into Mexico. I think we should stick to America first because I wanted to bring this up, this point right here. Who do you think is responsible for the fact that this all got really, really bad, the censorship and everything, first and foremost? Adolf Hitler. I'm not going to blame the victims.

I think it's the left, the Democrats, the political establishment. They want the censorship. Progressives cheered it on. And then they started getting censored going, oh, no, why no why am i getting banned well because you empowered them to do this interestingly though one of the politicians that we have ted cruz who has been very vocal about censorship and calling it out said something very interesting the blaze reports ted cruz you can blame the trump administration for not reigning in big tech censorship bingo i could never get the people in the administration executing the policy to get serious about stopping censorship here.

Here, Ted Cruz. Wow. One hundred percent. It was an entire four years in office and that we had the power. Republicans had the power. I don't know if I consider myself a Republican anymore, but we didn't do anything. And it was almost the biggest complaint we had because it was just getting worse and worse and worse. I remember every year leading up to the 2020 election, everyone was saying, at least on the right wing sphere, was saying, you know, that it's going to get worse and worse and worse and worse. And it just kept going and no one did anything. will not win if they don't fight back and in 2018 i said one of my favorite the favorite one of my favorite segments is republicans are too stupid to stop censorship and spineless ignorant no no no

no no don't say ignorant because they don't say ignorant trump was not ignorant trump knew and had everyone around him all of his core support base screaming at him hey yeah please we're getting obliterated here his core base of supporters his personalities that kind of brought him into the situation into the position where he where he got to be president all of those core people were taken out one by one and they were screaming help help help and then donald trump didn't do nothing and now we're here today where twitter just announced i don't know if you've seen this. Twitter announced that they banned Donald Trump for life. Yes.

Even if he decides to run for president of the United States. Ian, I went to the White House with Bill Ottman. I'm saying Bill Ottman for the people who don't, you know, because obviously you know who Bill is. So I went with Bill. He's the CEO of Mines. Ian and Bill are, I'm sure there were other co-founders, but you were two of the co-founders for Minds. Minds, for those that aren't familiar, is a social media platform you can use. It's actually got tons of functionality. It's great.

And we went to the social media summit. Why? Because the Trump administration knew this was a problem. I thought it was going to be an actual conversation where I'd be able to go in and see some people in the administration or in government and say, here's what I think the issue is. Now, I actually said I was asked in an interview, what are you going there for? And I said, I think conservatives too often think they're the only ones being censored. And there are many progressives who are anti-establishment or anti-war who are getting censored, too. That's why it's not about just conservatives. It's about allowing people the right to speak before it's too late. Instead, Donald Trump put on what I

would call a VIP Trump rally. Now, mind you, Donald Trump is hilarious. It really is. It was a stand-up routine. It was self-deprecating humor. It was almost like Jon Stewart kind of comedy. And I was impressed. And I'm like, well we're not getting getting anything done today someone asks a question they so they're doing q a and then and then someone said will you join to trump directly will you join any other you know social media platform and trump goes which one which one and that was it he never did he has no idea what he was doing he doesn't understand technology he never talked about fusion power he never talked about he would say we need to ban section 230 like he's a moron he's not a moron he was ignorant of technology unfortunately not really i mean he used twitter as a bully pulpit he used twitter as as a way to speak to the people directly away from the

mainstream media so you can't say he was totally ignorant of it he knew the game he played the game very well he played it very poorly because he was totally ignorant of it. He knew the game. He played the game very well. He played it very poorly because he was banned. For himself. I mean, he just destroyed his legacy. But then when it came to standing up for the people that supported him, let's be honest here, he didn't do anything for them. And it wasn't only just tech.

It was also the Second Amendment. He did nothing in favor of the Second Amendment. When he had the House, he had the Senate, he could have passed legislation that could have helped the Second Amendment. Didn't do any of that. Hold on. That's the establishment Republican Party. The first two years Trump was in office, it was Paul Ryan.

The Republicans who are in power are like, here's the way I describe it. When Trump and Bernie led their siege on the establishment tower, Bernie eventually got bought out and joined the ranks, thinking that was the best way in. Trump was just banging on the door, screaming. Once he got in, the establishment Republicans were like, well, we normally don't have to work. All of a sudden, now we got this guy yelling at us, claiming he's in charge. And now we have to do work.

I retire. I quit. I'm out. I'm not running for reelection. And they were just bowing out like crazy. And then the Democrats came in and won control of the House. So the Republicans in 2016, 17 and 18, or I should say 2017 and 18 to the end of 2018, they didn't want to do anything and they didn't do anything. So Trump didn't have them in his corner.

Now that Trump is out and it's back to Biden, the establishment is back in control. They're going to lock the doors. Bernie is going to get the boot. It's not going to happen the way the progressives and the left populace thought it was going to happen. Censorship is going to get extreme to the point where, well, they're already banning progressives. Tons of progressive YouTube channels got nuked recently. And I'm sitting here going, listen, I'm not going to rag on these people. I'm not going to insult them. I'm not going to mock them and say, told you. So I'm going to say, welcome to the fight. Now, can we please get a serious conversation about why you need to be allowed to speak hopefully now that they're listening we can have some kind of i think majority that opposes

where would that conversation happen when when people are being censored for even and you can't go outside you can't go to the bar and you can't have events you know here you can kind of have a conversation on youtube as long as you don't insult people kind of i mean we youtube's YouTube is pretty bad in a lot of ways, but we were talking a little bit before the show. It's not as bad as a lot of people think it is. Yeah, it's better than most. Yeah, like YouTube takes intent into question when it comes to hate speech. Seriously.

Yeah. And Twitter doesn't. Instagram doesn't. None of those do. There are people that are banned off of everything but YouTube. Like the people that still have their YouTube but are banned off everything else. I was thinking maybe the problem with free speech and forcing free speech onto these social networks is you want to allow the private networks to maintain control of their terms of service. Because it becomes kind of authoritarian when you tell them how to run their company.

They keep changing their terms of services. I signed a term of services with the social media companies and they keep changing it. That's not fair, especially with individuals that put their whole livelihoods, their whole business, their whole salary on social media. And then they just change the change the rules midway. And they'll say by using the service, you would accept it automatically. And plus, the terms will be like 45 pages long, which is like almost impossible for a human to go through. Why don't we just, I don't know, maybe create something new or treat some of these social networks like a utility in the sense that there's no banning at all. If someone goes out in the middle of the street and screams a death threat at somebody else, the cops will arrest you for that. You can't do that.

You can't go around screaming, I'm going to do this to you or do that to you. It's illegal. So what if there was just a platform that was, I, that functioned very similar, similarly to if you were walking around outside, you can buy ad space on it. It's the certain ad space on the site is controlled by individuals who bought the rights to run ads on it or whatever. And if, listen, here's the way I put it. A lot of these advertisers freak out because they're like, I don't want to run ads on Twitter because people on Twitter say mean words. And I'm like, you put up a billboard in like L.A., for instance. What's going to stop some crazy racist guy from standing in front of your billboard screaming and then someone taking a picture and putting it online?

You can't escape that. So maybe we need – and honestly, I think it's probably – it's kind of – I don't know, maybe point of this as of now, because we've said it so many times. We need a social media platform that is a utility. It doesn't have to be Twitter. And you know what? Trump could have done it. That's the big thing. Yeah.

Trump could have got on Parler, Gab or Mines. He could have even made his own broadcast platform where you go to like, you know, Trump's the word of Trump dot com and it gave you his personal Twitter feed. He could have even done that. And then people would have followed. Trump could have launched his own network. He could have done everything. And he did nothing.

Man, even if he would have joined just one of them, whether it be Gab, Mines, one of these other ones, it would send such a massive wave of people to join just because to be made aware of it, you know, and it's like, he never did it. It's messed up. Would you suggest using the government to make one then? Like a socialist type of utility? I don't think that's socialist. Socialism is owning the means of production.

Yeah. Publicly owned with a bill of rights, the bill of rights guarantee. So the reason I like the idea of a public utility social platform is because we have the First Amendment. That means you can go on there and you can say dumb opinions, whether you're left, right, whatever. And there is speech that is illegal. And I think for the most part, there are a lot of free speech absolutists who will say even inciting or threatening is just words. They don't hurt anybody. Most people right now accept directing someone, instructing them,

and like telling them to do it or actually doing it themselves, like threatening. You can't do that. That's illegal. So like I said, if you were walking around New York City screaming, I'm going to do X to you. I'm going to do whatever to you. The cops would come and be like, right this way, buddy. That's illegal. That's a threat.

New York, they might just scuttle you along and say, get out of here because they don't want to deal with it. In Chicago, they take it more seriously. In Chicago, if you threaten someone, like yell it, they very well may arrest you because that's assault according to Chicago law. We could just do that. You got a problem with someone? You don't like their opinions?

Block. Bye-bye. Now I never see you again. The government could take mine's code and start it. Just spin one up. They could easily do that. Publicize the hell out of it. Biden has so much influence.

He could just publicize it. They don't want to. And then make it all about law. Listen, listen. The big corporations have all the power and say on there too, because that's one of the reasons why the government's not doing anything, sitting on their butts as people are losing their rights to free speech right now. And again, you don't need big daddy tech deciding what you can and cannot

hear. Leave it to the law. We have libel laws, right? We have laws against threatening other individuals. Leave it to the law. We don't need tech oligarchs, unaccountable people deciding yes or no, you can and cannot say this. What do you mean if we, that the big techs would have control on that if the government's... Because again, when you look at the government, right? The government has been essentially bought and sold by the special interest, by the billionaire class, by the multinational industrial industries out there that, of course, do the bidding for them. If you think the U.S. government represents you, you're fooling yourself.

They don't. They represent the people that they're friends with, that are super elitist, that are super rich, that cash their pockets with money. Those are the people they serve. So if the government creates something, who you think is going to get the most prominent voice and more control over everything, it's going to be them.

Obviously, who would we, who, what, what organization would we use to enforce like free speech laws then if not the government, it's, it's called free speech.

You don't need to enforce free speech. Uh, again, if you have local jurisdictions, like in Chicago, like in New York, they usually handle the situation themselves. So if you have a jurisdiction and if you have someone that slandered you or libeled you, deal it through that system.

That's just the simple way of doing it. Decentralization, not centralization is the answer. I'd like to show you guys a study just in response to what Luke was saying from 2014. I will also stress there are rebuttals to this that are more modern. But this from the BBC 24 April 2014 study, US is an oligarchy, not a democracy. And the BBC reports, the US is dominated by a rich and powerful elite. So concludes a recent study by Princeton University Professor Martin Gilenz and Northwestern University Professor Benjamin Page.

This is not news, you say. Perhaps the two professors have conducted exhaustive research to try and present data-driven support for this conclusion. Here's how they explain it. Multivariate analysis indicates

that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. In English, the wealthy few move policy while the average American has little power. They're going to say that they drew this conclusion by reviewing answers to 1,779 survey questions

asked between 1981 and 2002 on public policy issues. They say, quote, a proposed policy change with low support among economically elite Americans, one out of five in favor, is adopted only about 18% of the time. They write, while a proposed change with high support, four out of five, is adopted about 45% of the time. On the other hand, when a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites and or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the US political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it. They conclude Americans do enjoy many features

central to democratic governance, such as regular elections, freedom of speech. Well, at the time, I suppose, an association and a freedom of speech and association and a widespread, if still contested franchise. We believe that if policymaking is dominated by powerful business organizations and a small number of affluent Americans that America's claim to being a democracy, a democratic society are seriously threatened. And I'll just stress this study made it very obvious what was going to happen next. They don't want large, powerful majorities forming. It's hard to defeat. Now, the study mentioned that if a large majority says we want this policy, they still tend to lose. But that still means the powerful elites have to fight against these ideas. Occupy Wall Street was very popular.

They found a way to fracture using identity politics. Well, take away free speech, you don't got to deal with it ever again. So they're monopolizing the platforms with which we communicate while the governments have stopped us from communicating in person. I don't know. I don't. If we don't use the government to enforce free speech on the internet who else will what do you mean we should the government should yeah that's what i'm talking

about making a government network i i kind of want to delve into luke's point earlier about decentralizing it and but they won't because they helped create these monopolies that they're tied into in such ways that they they will never uncouple let me let me let me just repeat the point of this study ian to read to you is that the government does what their lobbyist corporate interests tell them to do that's always been the case with the u.s right and so why would they do anything different twitter is going to say hey whoa what are you doing there oh i'm sorry boss i don't want to just say i guess the u.s government was a militaristic corrupt system from the beginning you know it wasn't a genocidal yeah it was it was a genocidal military takeover of the native

american population that's and they very complicated they made a they made a government that was ruled by the powerful elite these landowners and they gave very little power to the masses bro you're you're you're you're you're taking hundreds of years of colonial history and condensing it into like 20 they they when they made and condensing it into like 20. When they made the government, it was like, we pick who the senators are. The first, when the United States was formed. That's what I'm talking about, yeah. Yeah, yeah, it was actually a mix.

It was modeled very similarly off of the UK, where you have the people's representation, and then you have the better men. Yeah, the senators and the Republicans. Who were appointed, but that actually was a better system. You know why? Because you would vote for your local representatives. You'd vote at the state level. And then they would appoint federal representatives to go to senators, not Congress people.

So now because we shifted senatorial elections to the public, people don't care about voting locally anymore. So now their states are, you know, in disrepair. And, you know, what's crazy is there's this push now from some Trump supporters. Apparently, there's like precinct level Republican positions that are half empty across the country that have powerful control over how the political how the GOP nominates people, allocates resources, and they're missing because people aren't running and they don't know. There's huge gaps in how the how the GOP is supposed to be running. So because of that, because people have ignored local politics, it's created vulnerabilities that

can now be exploited by Trump supporters. You need to pay attention to your local politics. Most people don't even know who their state senators are, who their state reps are, who their congressperson even is. I feel like it's changed a bit, though, with the pandemic in 2020. Even I've been way more aware of local politics than ever just because of the pandemic and the lockdowns and you start seeing like oh florida is back to real life and i'm not i can't even leave my house wow and then it all comes down to local politics yep whether or not your state is going to say yes or no apparently florida is you know they've been saying do your thing and then we've seen the collective outrage from the media on the left.

So you mentioned making a utility, an internet website that was a utility social network. You mentioned decentralizing it. And you've mentioned local politics. So if we made like an internet social network that was decentralized and like LA had its own, the only problem is that wouldn't work to me because when you use social networking, you don't want to just only talk to people in your city. You want like global connectivity. So who oversees it? Well, there's several solutions and maybe there have been attempts to pass these laws to stop censorship at the state level.

I think that's the key. I think, you know, Florida might actually pull this off because DeSantis recently talked about, you know, they're proposing this bill that would fine big tech companies for violating a set of rules. There you go. We don't need to rely on Congress or the Senate. Just have your state do it because they can do it very easily. If you're in Arizona or Michigan or Wisconsin or Pennsylvania, and you've got a Republican-controlled legislature, what's to stop them from passing this law?

Make them do it. Call them up. Tell them what you want. Tell them what you're willing to vote for. Do that phone campaign. And if they don't listen, vote for somebody else. I love DeSantis.

I hope he runs for president. Seriously. He might. I mean, he's really standing up. What's he doing? Oh, he's opened up Florida. He's opened up Florida. And I was there over Christmas break.

I was in Miami. And it was just, it was amazing. It was real life again. You know, living in LA, it's like it's not. But I guess LA is real life too was amazing it was real life again you know living in la it's like it's not but i guess la is real life too this lockdown is real life yeah but newsom will shut off your water or oh but they're gonna recall that guy huh like they got i think they just got enough signatures and i'm like oh my gosh i did goodbye i signed months ago months ago what does that mean is he out of office officially now or something no um I think there's a certain amount of signatures that needs to be had, and then we can vote on it as a state.

So I don't know if there's a step before that or what, but I think we can vote on it soon. It's like a ballot initiative, just like they did with marijuana and other laws. It's decided by popular vote rather than just local government. That's how Switzerland is also run. Well, let's dive into this story, actually, and see what's going on with your awful state of California, Blair. I hate California. Sorry. I lived there. It's beautiful.

It's beautiful, but it's so ugly. It's ugly on a personality level. The state had a lot of plastic surgery. Yes. Yes. It's unfortunate, man. We have this story from FiveThirtyEight. California's Gavin Newsom will likely face a recall election, but he'll probably survive it. Who wrote that?

I hope. FiveThirtyEight. Sounds like propaganda. Well, I know. I was going to say that because FiveThirtyEight failed miserably in the 2020 election and the 2016 election, and they were so mad about it. What was that one? Well, all the polls were historically off by like, what was it? What was the average?

Like seven points. It was worse in 2020 than it was in 2016. My favorite thing about the polls was the New York Times had safe Democrat, lean Democrat, toss up, lean Republican, safe Republican, and the whole thing skewed red, skewed Republican. So the lean Democrat all went Republican. And then the safe Democrat, actually,, skewed Republican. So the lean Democrat all went Republican. And then the safe Democrat, actually, some seats flipped Republican. That's why they were able to regain a lot of the House.

They were so wrong. So now it is true. Let me read a little bit of the story to give you guys context. They say California Governor Gavin Newsom has been in office for just two years, but there have already been five failed attempts to force a statewide recall election on whether to remove him from office. That itself is not unusual. California has some of the most permissive recall requirements in the country. But what is unusual is that the sixth attempt, which is currently underway, appears to be gaining some serious traction. If it makes the ballot, the election would be just the fourth gubernatorial recall election in all of American

history. And two of the previous three governors to face recalls ended up going down in defeat, including California's in 2003, when in the midst of a statewide fiscal crisis, 55% of voters opted to recall Democrat Gray Davis and elected Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger in his place. That seems like a bad omen for Newsom until you consider for special circumstances of this recall and the political evolution of California. Well, I'm not interested in their overall assessment. The point is, it's everyone else has lost and it's over what, 1.5 million signatures now to get rid of Newsom. So he could be gone. I mean, just what it shows is how angry people are. I mean, i don't think you can look

at what's happening in california which is we are the most locked down place la specifically is the most locked down and yet we're the worst of the cases there was a story that the air that people in la were breathing was like um polluted with uh from the what's it called when they burn people the crematorium crematoriums yeah really that the air was so polluted because people were dying at such a frequent rate and but what's so crazy is that you know obviously there is a growing movement of people who are angry about the leadership in california but there are still so many people there that think it's like he's doing a great job simply because he's democrat and they look at florida and they look at desantis and they're like oh my god i can't believe they're fully open that's

so messed up and it's like but they're not worse off than us so what is the logic at this point if you support lockdowns and the way that they've been imposed i think there's something seriously wrong with you it's a cult it really is when they when they complain about trump supporters and they're like you know i see these posts on facebook all the time they're like trump supporters you're in a cult i'm like you know okay i i know the people they're referring to they're referring to the q people who believe this crazy nonsense i understand why they're saying that my response to them is usually like i hear you i hear you do you think you're in a cult you don't have you have you have you considered maybe y'all are crazy?

The right and these really zealous Trump supporters don't have cultural power in the cultural institutions. And they had very limited political power with Trump as president. Trump was struggling in a lot of ways to do a lot of things. He was able to pull off a lot. Don't get me wrong. Right now, the Democrats control every cultural institution and every branch of government. Well, except for the Supreme Court, but we'll see what happens. They're fairly pro-establishment. We'll see how they end up ruling. And look where we're at. Everyone's still

begging for scraps from the government after almost a year in a pandemic where people can't afford food, rent to survive. And yet, for some reason, some people still just like are so much more comfortable with Democratic leadership and they don't get it. It's a cult. You know, so I'm not saying everybody voted for a Democrat as a cult. That's ridiculous. Every Trump supporter wasn't some zealous conspiracy conspiracy theorist. It's just that in the cultural institutions, you have substantially more cult like Democrat people who just would absolutely watch the whole country burn down if it meant they were owning the cons you have a similar element among right-wingers for sure but they don't have any power they're not that's what that's why i've never really

cared to be like oh so that you know that that q guy you know he's he said something dumb on twitter i don't care he doesn't control the entirety of the party he doesn't control hollywood or tv shows or digital marketing. And he's not controlling a branch of government. Now it's all Democrats. It's the liberal economic order. They started it. The British and the Americans started it after World War II to basically control the world with military.

So there's like this military propaganda effort that's controlled by this liberal force, the economic order. I don't think liberal makes that makes sense because actually the specific term is liberal economic order right i i know but i mean like they call themselves liberal republicans and democrats are doing the same thing you know the the republican part of the democratic party are working towards the same goal i think the republicans are just like a caricature of a villain where they do literally nothing but obstruct in certain ways to make Democrats angry and never actually fight for causes that the people on the right actually want.

Right. So when Trump came around and said, I'm going to fight for you, they were like, finally, somebody. And then Trump did some things and ultimately didn't get a lot through because he was obstructed at every turn, even his own administration, his own administration. Apparently, the reason Trump didn't get on Parler or Gab was because of Jared Kushner, who was like, don't do it. Don't go on. Don't don't do it. OK, well, now he's gone. Now he can't say anything. Right. We've got in this country, Democrats in states like California, in places like New York, pushing policies and winning elections while people suffer and beg for scraps, like you were mentioning. And the reason why I say it's a cult is because no matter what happens, they will not let it go. I had a friend sent them the Time magazine.

You see the Time magazine article about the shadow campaign, Blair? Yeah. How much more explicit could they make it when they said a shadow campaign, a conspiracy in the background by an elite cabal of powerful individuals, started in fall of 2019, mind you, which means they were doing it to Bernie Sanders to ensure the proper outcome. And my friend was like, oh, but they were just fortifying the election. And I said, you realize the Democratic primary didn't conclude until 2020, which means they were doing it to Bernie Sanders. And then all of a sudden they were like, yeah. I'm like, did you notice? It wasn't about Trump. Trump was a part of it.

It's about the people getting an actual candidate who represented them. Unfortunately, Bernie sold out. He wants to be a millionaire, you know? That's why I feel so disaffected between the left versus right thing now. At this point, it's if you don't. At some point, if you don't start seeing that it's the elites versus the people, then I don't really know what's wrong with you, especially the last year. The last year has revealed so much about just the way the system works, the ways in which it's broken, the ways

in which it doesn't just not serve the people, but it actively crushes the people that you have so many people that still vote for that same system. And what's really scary is that now that Biden's in power power we talked about this earlier now it's back to sort of the obama era of like just complete um like not even caring about politics at all what's the right word like blind ignorance and obedience combined like compliance but it's but it's not even devotion it's because they don't they don't actually like biden good point no one likes but it's not even compliance it's like it's like servience complacency complacency maybe hold on but it's like a willful disregard of information yes and a and willful ignorance

to allow biden to do whatever he wants and turn away and not pay attention anymore i think the word is witness a blind witness because he's a, so nothing he does is going to be bad. And everything anyone who's a Republican does is bad. I know. You know what I loved about Obama was when he ran anti-war and all that stuff, and I voted for him. I was all excited. And then I think it was January 23rd of 2009.

I could be getting the date wrong, like only a few days after inauguration. He ordered a drone strike on a village of women and children killing civilians. And I was just like, I felt like my heart sank, like, he was supposed to say no, he was supposed to say no. And then I would go to my friends. And all of a sudden, all these anti war activists were just all of a sudden, like, I don't know, I don't you're talking about, I don't care. We're gonna go get pizza at the bar and just have a drink. And it's the same thing. Now the war drums are starting to beat up again with Biden. and it's like where is everyone that cares no one okay no one i guess no one it's like it's like the dominoes are falling down yeah and we're watching it happen and we can't do

anything to stop it it's just like the whole the whole thing's gone well even if people did rise up or or did voice their disgust you wouldn't know about it because your algorithm is curated. Your timeline is carefully selected to make sure that you see and have a perception that these elite billionaires want you to see. And Blair, you made a very good point. It's something that I've been screaming about for years now, endlessly. I've been ridiculed and attacked for it, but it's not left versus right. It's you versus the secret club of billionaires. And that's exactly what's happening

right now. And these billionaires, they're getting their way. They're getting their power. They're getting their money more than they ever did before because of these lockdowns. And then we have individuals like Bill Gates that, by the way, just recently became the largest farmland owner in all of the United States. Seriously. Lecturing us about how we need to lock down more, congratulating China about doing a great job, but also, just as of today, became the biggest shareholder in the Canadian National Railroad. What? A major, yes, a major railroad company that doesn't just provide transportation services for all of Canada, but also along the Mississippi from the north to the south of the United States.

And literally, he's on his way from almost controlling the entire food supply chain from farm to table. And Bill Gates is buying up more assets, buying up more companies, buying up more land than ever before. Who would have thought Bill Gates would be the reincarnation of Alexander the Great? Conquering large swaths of territory around the world. Largest today. Largest shareholder of the Canadian National Railroad. Could you imagine? Sorry, just like I'm thinking about the legends of like Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great.

Riding in on horseback and conquering land. And now we have this great warlord conqueror. And it's Bill Gates saying, well, I recently purchased. In a sweater vest. Right right to add insult to injury yeah i mean this man was was described as a ruthless businessman who changed his ways was going to donate all of his money to charity uh almost more than doubled his money by the way uh but but he's the one that that all the mainstream media guys are are going for for the expert advice about what to do next he also pushed the goal post because a couple months ago he said that these lockdowns covid's going to be be with us until 2021 he changed his stance now he's saying 2022 and of

course who benefits off of these lockdowns billionaires like him i saw you know what gets me is that like i feel like the left is always talking about class consciousness and it's like I'm down to top that conversation. But it's like so y'all support these lockdowns and you don't see how the rich is getting richer. You're getting poorer. I just saw an article. The top hundred billionaires, most wealthy, their wealth has increased by 40 percent since the lockdown. Absolutely. You know, it's funny.

As there's we did mention this before, but I love this moment tucker carlson was doing his handoff with john hannity and tucker was talking about how these massive corporations value is skyrocketing about this lockdown basically saying how it's the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy in in the history of humanity and then when he's doing the handoff hannity goes if a business provides a service and makes money well then good for them they're allowed to do it and tucker's response was the Tucker face where he's like, looking like, huh? Labrador. Yeah, the Labrador, like, what? I love that interaction. How is it that Tucker Carlson

had this evolution on populism and, you know, the elites versus the people and it's just, it's basically him. The rest of cable TV and everybody are still very much pro establishment. Well, that's why they're trying to cancel him so much. Right. Yeah, today especially.

The stuff that he talks about is very important. He talks about it. I don't always agree with him, but he does it from an honest perspective. He does it from an honest way. And he points out how it's not private enterprise. These are not businesses engaging in the free market. These are quasi-extensions of the government working with government hand in hand pushing and and making sure the game is rigged against everyone else so they get their way and they've been getting their way non-stop and it's so sad how no one thinks to take it that far in their mind when they're

looking around at them and they're seeing all of their fellow citizens living like dogs on their on their knees i will sw. And it's so frustrating how they use these tools of pitting us against each other. And so before anyone would start to think about how maybe all of this is a ploy to crush the poor and make the rich richer, they'll look at someone with the mask slightly beneath their nose in a grocery store and have a psychotic meltdown and convince themselves that that one individual who's not wearing

the mask perfectly to how they think it should go is the reason why we're in this mess i see it all the time it's a cult and they sell they sell this so that you know this this is this is the space helmet that i bought and you know like i'm gonna i want to i want to be i don't like being mean to people like the guy who made this seems like a nice guy is a really interesting idea but i swear to god if if you're going to be wearing the space helmet because of this strange cult-like behavior around masks we got we got problems man there it you know what i am partly grateful to everything that's happened over the past year i suppose in at least one way it's not always bad it's kind of it's it's, you know, when they're doing these medical procedures

to like for cancer, they'll inject your bloodstream with dye or like they'll make you drink it. Right. Is that what they do? Yeah. Then they can like take the scanning machine, whatever it is, and see all your veins light up. Yeah. They basically did that with dumb people.

So now when you see people walking around with space helmets and like four masks, you're like, okay, this person doesn't think critically. They don't do any investigation. Thank you. I understand wearing a mask. The logic is very, very simple. So I have no problem wearing it. I do think it's absurd when they're like, wear a mask in your own home.

I'm like, what? Wear a mask in your own home and between bites. It's like, okay, you got to chill there. Or like in California, they were telling you literally take a bite, put your mask back on when you're in the restaurant. And Gavin Newsom's not doing a mask at all. That's not just California now, by the way. I was on a plane. I've had two connecting flights here.

And on both of those planes, over the flight attendant speaker, they're saying, even when you're chewing, you have to put it up when you chew. And then swallow, take it off, take a bite, chew with it on. It's crazy this is of course as the cdc just ruled recently that two masks are recommended uh after fauci a couple days ago said there's no evidence supporting that now fauci again flip-flop saying yes actually now wear two masks when in the beginning he said don't wear any masks at all again total constant flip-flopping and you call them out. You call these lying

family-friendly shows. Do you want a second one? We have two of them. It looks like the thing you take a crap in at the hospital. A bedpan? The funny thing about it is, what if you're wearing this and you sneeze? That's what everyone says. You just spray the whole plastic.

Have you ever seen a person sneeze in the whole plastic i've never seen a person sneeze in their mask i've seen it a couple times it's so gross do you see joe biden take his mask off to cough in his hand and then put the mask back on yeah yeah he did it it's great yeah but no we're actually here right now we have this from the npr cdc says double masking offers more protection against the coronavirus what what is what is wrong with people obviously but what how what percent? 6% more? It is.

Yeah, it's like 6%. Then what? It's diminishing returns. At what point are you going to say enough? Because a third mask will give you another 0.7% increase. Apparently, and I don't know if this is true, but I was reading an article about this. And they said the study found, or a study found, that after like seven masks it starts becoming detrimental seven like can we stop pretending like we can breathe in the mass that's my whole thing it's like why

is everyone lying because if i walk even more than three feet in a mass i'm hyperventilating i do have asthma as well i know everyone gets so mad when you say that but like i can't breathe well doesn't that mean you're exempt and you don't gotta wear it? I don't think so. I don't think asthma is an exemption. But I mean, I don't wanna paint a wrong impression on me. I will wear a mask, especially in a public business because at the end of the day,

I just won't go in the business if I don't wanna wear a mask. I comply with that kind of stuff. But it gets a different level when it's like you're outside walking your dog and you post a Snapchat and all the replies are like, why aren't you wearing a curse word mask? Like it's like you're killing grandma it's like no one's near me i'm with my

dog and i remember at the start of the pandemic i had this experience i tweeted about it where a cop literally approached me to tell me to put a mask on and he broke the six feet and he didn't have a mask on that's why i'm i'm going to unironically wear this you might as well and no here's what i'm gonna do it the reason i. The reason I bought these, I bought two of them. I bought them for a reason. They're silly and they're hilarious. They're great. But also,

it gives me the moral authority to shame everyone around me. Right. You have a super mask. And what's funny is they're not going to know what I'm saying because you can barely

talk in these things. They can't hear you. But I also purposefully muffle my voice. So I'm looking at them going, and they're going to be like, I don't know why you're yelling at me. And then I'll take off and go,

you're only wearing a cloth mask. You're killing grandma. Buy your plastic space helmet now. Otherwise, you evil fascist. That's what they all sound like to me anyway. It's just muffled like... Like the teacher from Charlie Brown? Yeah, basically.

In LA, there's this area where I go hiking all the time called runyon canyon and it's outdoors no one has to get anywhere near you you're literally on a mountain okay and the city has um what i call green jackets which is guys in green jackets at the entrance that will yell at you to put a mask on and i just yeah i call them green jackets i just walk past them they'll literally yell stuff and i'll just walk past maybe Maybe I'll wave. Like, I just don't care. It's like, I'm not going to wear one outside when I'm exercising and there's already dust coming up from it. It's like, no, I was, I was on, uh, I was in a forest a few months ago, literally in

the forest. Okay. And I saw, uh, it's a, it's a path. There's like a path, right? And so people are riding bikes, people wearing masks. And I'm like, dude, right. You not, not only are nowhere near any any humans you are so far from humans you risk dying if you make a wrong turn i think you're okay to not wear look i understand stores i understand you go to a

business but i'll tell you if you're in the woods i think you're okay my favorite what i personally saw in new hampshire was someone riding a motorcycle without a helmet, but with a mask. Wow. That's sick. And when you have individuals like that, that's when I knew, seeing that, I'm like, we're screwed. But the first realization with this whole coronavirus, when I knew we were screwed, was when the government was telling everyone,

don't wear a mask. It's fine. Don't get them. And then when they told everyone, no, no, no. Well, actually, wear a mask. And there wasn't any repercussions. when they told everyone no no no well actually wear a mask and there wasn't any repercussions there wasn't any kind of backlash i knew we were in trouble so so this is this is the important thing here the government could lie to you as as much as they want but if you lie to the government in the united kingdom they just put in new security laws that you will face 10 years in jail if you lie to the government about your

whereabouts a ten thousand dollar fine for leaving your quarantine jail if you lie to the government about your whereabouts, a $10,000 fine for leaving your quarantine, and if you're entering the United Kingdom, you now have to buy a quarantine package that is $2,400, which includes a 10-day hotel stay and COVID tests. So you have to pay this out of pocket if you want to visit the United Kingdom. You know, honestly, I will say one thing. Double masking, the way they describe it, makes sense for one simple reason. If you're going to wear a mask, and I do.

Like, we go to the restaurant. We just went out. We go shopping. You wear a mask when you go in. And I understand the point. You know, people don't want to get sick. Those things get really nasty. People don't wash their masks.

True. So they're wearing them all day, every day for months, and it's becoming grimy and infested they're saying wear a disposable math mask and then put your other mask over it i wonder if the real issue is they're like dude these people are walking around with fungus rags on their faces right maybe that we should tell them to put a disposable underneath it because now they do and it's like if you're not going to wear your mask that i kind of get yeah i've even gotten to the point where sometimes it's like, if I have to go somewhere, I'll just throw one on and like, it's dirty. And I know it's dirty.

And I take the L and it's disgusting. And there are masks on the ground. It really is bad for you. It's like wearing dirty bandages. I did something really bad one time. I had to go into a Target and it was an emergency. Like, I had to go in the Target, okay? Target, yes.

I was in the parking garage. I dropped my mask on the ground in the parking garage, put it on my face, and then I tasted the ground of the parking garage. It was disgusting. I think we got to mandate

these dome helmets. Well, this is the thing. If the masks work so well, why haven't they worked? I disagree with that one, though. I disagree. Really? Yeah, because I've heard people say it.. The masks work so well. Why haven't they worked? No, I disagree with that one, though. I disagree. Really? Yeah, because I've heard people say, if the masks work so well, why aren't they working? Well, we have no metric by which to gauge.

We saw some statistics, and we see where there's mask mandates implemented, where they're not implemented. And we saw, ever since the beginning of the mask mandates, a lot of the counties and districts that did implement the mandates, their cases, their numbers went up. A lot of places like Florida, this is the comparative that happened because NBC News launched an attack on a grocery store in Florida. And then it was a vicious attack. They're like, look at these grandmas. They're not wearing any masks. They're in a supermarket. They're horrible human beings. A whole huge segment on the Today Show shaming them. And then someone, I forgot his name. He works for an independent media organization. And he put out a sign saying, look at the number of cases here in this particular county in Florida compared to, of course, Los Angeles.

In a Los Angeles county. I forgot which one. But also similar populations. And then it was like, look at the numbers. Mask mandate here. no mask mandate here. The county in California, huge spikes. Florida, leveled out. Now, again, could be a correlation.

They're different places. It's a different place. Yes, it's not exact, but it might be worth investigating. That's all I'm saying. But isn't there really high compliance statistics with masks too? Aren't like most people in general wearing of people are wearing masks you'd have to have a group of like a hundred people not wear masks and another group of 100 wear masks in the exact same place going to the exact same businesses and then track it to see if there's a we haven't

done that and you got to know what they had before they got selected right right right were they exposed food they're eating exercise all that stuff's got to be controlled for. So New York, LA, Florida, all very different places. But we have to understand. I think it's fair to be critical. Don't get me wrong. We should be critical because there is some data actually showing that masks actually do help with influenzas, especially in Asian countries, especially with how they've been utilized and used.

But this is not the flu. This is something else. This is something where we had a7 year old none one of the oldest people in the world have this not even know she had it while other people are getting absolutely devastated and wrecked by this there's there's fingers falling off yeah so i'm like what yeah yeah there's a there's a story that came out a woman's fingers fell off. We don't know. So some people, remember that basketball player who collapsed on the court? He's like,

he recovered from COVID and then one day he was playing and then he just fell down. It does impact people like that because it affects their circulation. I've talked to a lot of doctors and nurses. A lot of them don't know what's going on. They're so confused. They're so perplexed. I mean, I see you nodding your head there, Lydia, because you're in this profession. We don't know what's going on. They're so confused. They're so perplexed. I mean, I see you nodding your head there, Lydia, because you're in this profession.

We don't know what's going on here. So implementing these hard rules and stopping any discourse from happening is hurting us. I've had friends that died of cancer, officially of cancer. But what happened was they got diagnosed.

They went into the hospital, started getting these crazy chemical things to try and kill stuff. We're going to kill it. We're going to find it and kill it and kill a bunch of other stuff in your body while we do it. Collateral damage. And their bodies started getting devastated. And then they died.

That's what chemo does. They died from cancer. They died from chemo. And they call it cancer death. Yes, but it's not a secret that when people get cancer, they're on the track to die. And chemo can actually kill them. That's the theory. It could also save them.

That's the theory. But these people get the chemo and it's so hard on the body that it ends up they end up dying. Wake. And so but they call it a cancer death. So it's a similar thing with COVID. Yeah. People's fingers are falling off. But that doesn't mean that COVID made their fingers fall off.

But in this story, that's literally the story. That's how the story was written. Well, yeah, but let's go into the story then. I'd love to hear about it. Come on. That's crazy. No, no, I'm serious, actually. No, it's crazy.

Fingers. Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, you know, COVID toes is when people get bad circulation from COVID, then the extremities, your fingers and your toes start. But are they obese? I don't. I think this person was elderly, actually.

Yeah. The point is, we've not everybody's affected the same way. And it has been, I think, to Luke's point about people being scared or confused, it's new. We've not experienced it. And it seems to be very serious, and people are kind of freaked out about it. That's true. So I say this. The masks, to me, makes total sense.

Now when they say two masks, I'm like, it's like a 6% increase according to these studies. Look, man, wearing a mask at a store makes sense in public places. But confining people to their homes is clearly the data shown that doesn't work because people then spread it to their family members. So letting people go outside. So this is one of the reasons why they're starting to reopen is like even in California, they realized, well, that may be new, some panicking because they're going to recall him. But they realized when people go outside, these businesses can enforce social distancing and mask wearing. When people are going inside, they'll go out and interact publicly at stores or Walmart and then bring it back and infect their whole family. And also it's like you're making laws and mandates that go against fundamental aspects of human nature.

Like humans need community. They need to be around each other. They need, God forbid, sunshine every once in a while. So what you're doing is you're creating an underground, and I'll talk about this. Maybe people don't know this. In LA, there is such a huge underground party scene right now, especially in the LGBT

community. Warehouses in LA just full of people partying. These are the same people that are online that are super, you know, that are super lived out about COVID and super anal about it. But that's what's happening is the government is the walkouts are so harsh that it's causing the opposite effect. So instead of going to an outdoor restaurant where the tables are six feet

and you wear a mask when you walk to your table, whatever people are like, okay, I can't even do that, but I need to be around people. They end up going to a party. You know, it's funny is every high school party is illegal, right? Every teenager under the age of 21 partying and getting drunk. They know what happens when the cops show up. They're like, geez, it and everyone's running random directions and like the cops are coming in.

You're like, oh, no, no, out the back door. So now all they're doing is the same thing. It's they so now they're 24 and they're doing it but they're accustomed to this i mean i don't know about most of you listening but when i was a teenager we would show up to some random house party you're in the kitchen you got a 40 a king cobra whatever cost you a buck and then all of a sudden you hear like someone runs in like dude cops are pulling up and then everyone runs and you're hopping the fence to get out and yeah because you're not you can't be drinking and then like the person who owns it the cops yell at them they'll get a ticket or something so now what's happening we've i've heard stories i was in new

jersey these women were having a warehouse party and they were serving food and gambling so now it's like now not only are they having this close quarters there's no food sanitation there's not no regulation and they're gambling along with it because prohibition doesn't work. It just doesn't work. Lockdowns don't work. It's basically prohibition of life. It's like, don't live your life. They found COVID in ice cream in China.

I don't know if you heard about that. Allegedly. We also have to understand a lot of the data that we're getting from these, quote, experts and medical professionals flip flops every week. So we don't know if they're telling the truth or not, because they've sent out so many mixed messages. They send out things saying, no airborne transmission, now there is airborne transmission. We don't know what's going on here, and the medical community is left stunned. And again, as you said, prohibition never works, and it never has worked, right? Nothing the government tries to stop. And there have even been some scientific studies showing that if you make people coalesce only in Walmart, only in Target, that that's going to actually spread the virus more if people are only told to go to one place and they only go to that one place.

Yes. So there's data suggesting that. Again, a lot of uncertainties. We don't know what's going on. I'll tell you, the biggest issue I have with this is the transfer of wealth. So I understand centralizing Walmart, Target, and everything. People are going to get sick. The problem is they just did, what, $1.9 trillion in stimulus?

So they're going to give people $1,400, I guess. It's going to be means-tested. That money is going to go to Walmart. That money is going to go to Amazon. It's going to go to Target. It's not going to go to mom-and-pop's barbershop, mom-and-pop's computer repair, whatever. Small business has been gutted and eviscerated. And I think if you look at everything they're doing, why charge someone two grand for this, you know, quarantine specialty kit?

I'll tell you one thing. 2.4. 2.4 thousand. I don't, I can only tell you the simple solution. They're trying to prevent COVID. I can say one of the one of the side effects of everything they're doing, stopping people from traveling, traveling around the world or locally, stopping people from buying things, stopping people from going out and servicing bars and restaurants, ultimately reducing the amount that is being consumed, reducing the amount of carbon emissions. And The New York Times wrote the story a while ago. The earth is healing because of the lockdown. That was early on when it was 15 days.

So the spread were still slowing the spread a year ago, the earth is healing because of the lockdown. That was early on when it was 15 days to slow the spread. We're still slowing the spread a year later, I suppose. But it seems like whether it's intended or not, they can say it's for all these things. The one thing that's really happening is a great reset. Yep. And it's blatant, too, which blows my mind when people, again, get so caught up in the ways that we've been pit against each other. It's like we're in this because this one person I know doesn't like to wear a mask. We're in this because you're being selfish and you went to a party because you were depressed for six months in your apartment. You just had to see someone. No, like your neighbor is not the enemy at all.

Well, according to Disney, I guess it is because they got mad when Gina Carano called that out. Right. And maybe your neighbor is your enemy if they plow your snow or whatever. Right, yeah, seriously. For those that don't know the context, some LA Times columnist was freaking out because her Trump-supporting neighbor

is politely plowing her driveway. It's the end of the world, my friends. Wow. Yeah. It's modern politics. I'm like muting myself right now because of the stuff that I want to say I can't say on YouTube.

Well, we'll save it for the members only segments. That's right. Where we're more free. Yeah, I want to hear that. Yeah, I'm excited. That's the reality. It's all about COVID. There's a simple breakdown for people who always get mad when they're like, why won't you guys say what you need to say?

I'll make it simple. We can sacrifice the 99 things we say to you every night for one thing we can say on TimCast.com. It's not even that I want to say claims about what I think about if it's real or if it's not. I just want to postulate that maybe there's something wrong here. Just speak freely. And even postulating is like treading on dangerous water when it comes to defying the World Health Organization. Do you see how sick that is that we can't just speak freely? I've stopped myself from saying several things on here.

And this is, you know, in a sphere of the internet that is the most open about this kind of thing. And yet we still can't say exactly what we feel. When I'm, you know, drunk with my friends on my balcony really talking about this stuff, I'm not saying the stuff I'm saying here. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. So you're lying about everything. Sure, sure. Well, I'm...

You're wearing a mask. I'm dulling it down. I'm wearing a mask. Turn it down a little bit. Right. So we'll just go ham with it. I'm wearing two masks. Let's just go ham.

Well, I'll tell you this. There's limits. I mean, this whole show, we've been talking about censorship and repression of speech and everything like that. And so this is the conversation I've had with a lot of people going back several years when there's like a certain name I can't say.

And people are like, stop being weak and just say the name. And I'm like, and then I will never be able to speak to you about anything. And there's a lot of important things to talk about. So we be careful about some things. And that's why I was like, we got to start our own platform that if if we get banned on here at least we can say whatever we want on you know a private website fortunately uh well i should say there's good there's goodness in bad news the good news is the platform exists we can go at timcast.com and say this stuff but still the audience there is a microscopic fraction right of the people who watch this show of course it's

absolutely ridiculous that we have to tiptoe. Meanwhile, the mainstream media gets to say whatever they want. They get to whatever they want. No accountability. They lie to you. They get to tell you there's weapons of mass destruction. They get to tell you not to wear masks, then to wear masks. They get to flip flop and lie and protect the special interest, work for powers that

be. And yet they don't get fact checked. And yet they don't get corrected. Yet they don't face any ramifications any consequences for anything that they do they get to eat human brain Reza Aslan literally ate human brain on TV

did you know that? no I thought you were making some kind of joke a CNN host the video was on YouTube how did he get hold of a human brain? it was a sect of these Hindu zealots. And I guess he was

sitting down as a show about religions. And they took a piece of brain and they cooked it, they charred it, and then gave it to him. And he ate it. But where did the brain come from? Like did they kill someone? I don't know. A cadaver maybe? And he literally ate it on TV. And I think the dude went nuts. I think it made him... Well yeah, you're not supposed to do that the same way you can't feed a cow a cow

but i don't think he got i don't think he got mad human you know brain disease i think he got uh ptsd from it i think he was traumatized maybe like how could you not be right and seriously he could never come back he's a cannibal reza aslan is a cannibal he is a cannibal yeah that's one of those lines like of humanity that once you cross it it's like you're probably not the same person i know i know somebody who was friends with him right and i was talking about this and i said dude's a cannibal and they were like he is not a cannibal and i was like did he eat human he ate he ate some brain from a human and i said so if there's a dude and he takes a child into a room and abuses him, would you not say he's a diddler?

It was only one kid and they were like, oh no, of course, okay, he ate human one time. He's a cannibal. It only takes one time. But he's not, he doesn't seek out human

and consume it on like day to day. He's not like an active cannibal. That we know of. He practiced cannibalism. He's not an active cannibal. He's a cannibal. Well, he was at one point. If a man was sitting down

with a group of people and they said, take this knife and kill that person, and he did, would you call him a murderer? Yeah. There's one way to say it. It was one time. He murdered someone in the past. It doesn't mean that he's always a murderer. He's not a murderer. Still a murderer.

Well, there's different ways to look at it. He's a murderer, bro. Once you're let out of prison, you can say they're an ex-con. They're no longer a convict. They committed the crime in the past. They're no longer a crime committer. They're a convict. What do you mean? Well, they're an ex-convict when they longer a convict. They committed the crime in the past. They're no longer a crime committer. What do you mean? Well, they're next convict when they leave prison. It's semantic.

It is semantic. He's still disgusting. He's a cannibal. To say he is still a cannibal, I think, can drive him insane. If he's thinking, like, I'm a cannibal, I can never shake. But like, yeah, man, you ate it in the past. Don't eat it in the future. I guess you can say former. Former cannibal. It might have gave him mental problems because you can say former you know former cannibal it might

have gave him mental problems because you can't feed a cow a cow you can't feed a monkey a monkey like it's just one of those things about like life that just once you cross that it's what is it what is it called i think it's prions aren't they prions yes it's not good whatever it is yeah let's read about prions it's a bridge too far is it don't know. Maybe it's not encephalitis. I don't know. It is not encephalitis. Sorry. You get the shakes.

What's that movie? Is it The Book of Eli? The Book of Eli. The Book of Eli. You ever see that movie? It was awesome. This year says a prion is a misfolded protein with the ability to transmit their misfolded shape onto normal variants.

He doesn't have that because you die from that. But I think he got PTSD from it. But anyway, the main point is because I'm always willing to talk about CNN hosts eating brain. The main point is

they aired this. It's on YouTube. YouTube allows this to be on their platform. Yeah, and you know, that's really obscene. I mean, of all the things that should or shouldn't be

censored or shown on TV, that's obscene. Yeah, a guy eating people. That's insane. That's gross. You know, we got problems. Yeah. That's promoted by YouTube.

That's in the algorithm. Why? You look up any kind of news event. You look up anything. No, no, no. I don't think it's promoted. I think someone... No, no, no.

It is promoted because when you look at similar topics with alternative media, it's suppressed. So when you have information that's suppressed from independent creators and promoted by, of course, mainline institutions that are allowed to do whatever they want, that's promotion. I'm sorry, the mainstream media has a rigged game here. Oh, I'm sorry. It's the New York Post. 1.5 million views.

Yeah. The CNN host Reza Aslan eats human brains while profiling Hindu Aghori cannibals. A few years ago, I remember playing the CNN clip on YouTube. And of course, it probably came up. It's like iResolution, too. Yeah, you look up any relevant news event, never will independent media come up. Never.

Even though they were on the ground, even though they got original coverage, even though they got actual reporting on this topic on the ground, independent media is never going to come up. It's always going to be CNN even just stealing independent reporters footage like they did to me. They did this to me a couple of times and it's so frustrating because I used to be on

the ground reporting live. Mainstream media just stole my stuff. And then in the search algorithms in the play next, it was always them. That sounds great. Al Jazeera even took my video and like i remember that i was funny no no so this is a funny story just i'll mention it real quick al jazeera re-uploaded luke's video and then got his video removed yes and then and then it took and then and then youtube took away my monetization from that video and then for for three months didn't allow me to even have that video yeah

totally stopped abuse and then and then there was no way. There was no accountability. There was no way to fix that. CNN also did a similar thing. They went after one of my live streams. It was, I believe, not the inauguration, but the speech of the union, state of the union addressed by the president. I was playing that.

CNN said it was theirs. Shut me down for a month. Couldn't live stream. Based off a fake strike that didn't have any marriage at all i gotta let you in on a secret this is actually the fault of uh you yeah so of course i should no no no no hold on hold on if you want your channel to appear in the in the authoritative news you actually just have to fill out a form on google news and it's not particularly difficult. No one knows this though.

So I've actually talked to Google because we're working on setting up these various sites and they said, you go to Google News, you apply, you fill out the form, you link to your website and then they include you in their list. So when you search for news and you get all these approved sources,

it's because they got their names added to the list. Now, don't get me wrong. Google will probably be like, this guy? Get out of here. He was the guy who was yelling at Eric Schmidt. You're not going to put his organization. I didn't yell. I asked him a very pointed, logical question that needed to be asked to him at that moment, at that time.

And I was being respectful. He's former CEO of Google? I told him not to curse. Yes. You're going to get me demonetized former head of alphabet and google and now he's working with the pentagon working on the technological advancements of the military so uh bildenberg member as well a lot of secret societies uh that he's also connected to but that's a whole nother side thing but but but yet again i just asked him a legitimate question that deserved to be asked in the bear yeah i mean that's what whole other side thing. But yet again, I just asked him a legitimate question that deserved to be asked. Yeah, I mean, that's what a journalist

is supposed to do. I faced the repercussions for it. Let's talk about Project Veritas. Yeah. So, actually, I wonder if I have an article. I think I did. As you look for the article, it's important to note a lot of people got hit today. Robert F. Kennedy

Jr., Del Bigtree, James O'Keefe, Project Veritas. There's other reports of Tom McDonald having some of his videos taken down from Spotify and Apple Music. I think they're back up now. But also other individuals like Immortal Technique and R.A. the Rugged Man had their video flagged. And because it was supposedly election disinformation, their music video wasn't even about the election. No, it was just politics. It was just political history. A lot of things were about the CIA,

but that's a whole other side topic. But they said it was election disinformation, and then they screwed it over. I've got important breaking news. Yes. Project Veritas is not permanently banned from Twitter. Oh, good. That's good.

So CNN is wrong, as far as I know. So, I know James O'Keefe. CNN's wrong? I know James O'Keefe. And we've had him on the show before, and I think he's a cool dude. I think he's a good dude. I think he does great work. Apparently, he's not permanently banned. They suspended his account

because they wanted a certain, you know, you have to remove a certain tweet. The tweet in question is, he confronted a Facebook employee like any other news organization would do. One of their operations or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they had one of their employees saying like, hey, can you answer these questions? And the guy was like, get out of here. It was in front of his house.

Now, when I saw that, I was like, oh, but they were at his house. James quickly in his video points out BBC does it. Fox News does it. CNN video points out BBC does it. Fox News does it. CNN does it. It is a normal thing where they go to people's houses and they ask them questions and they did the exact same thing. And so he says in this video, they will not be taking it down because they will not set themselves to a lower standard than any other news organization.

They're going to operate much the same way as anyone else would. So they appealed it. Apparently, because they appealed the decision, Twitter now says the account is suspended. My understanding is it's not permanent, but CNN claims it is. So I wonder if maybe it really is. I mean, I'd have to imagine. They say this. Look, Twitter permanently banned an account on Thursday belonging to Project Veritas.

They say the decision followed what a Twitter spokesperson described as CNN business as repeated violations of the platform's policies, prohibiting sharing or threats of sharing other people's private information. Twitter declined to say what specific tweets may have been may have triggered the enforcement action. But in a post on Project Veritas public telegram channel Thursday afternoon, the group said the suspension occurred after it published a video in which Project Veritas accosted. I'm sure I'm certain Project Veritas didn't say they accosted anybody. Sure. Facebook VP ofity at his home. They say Twitter also confirmed that O'Keefe's personal account had been locked temporarily for violating the same policy, and that O'Keefe would be required to remove the

content before regaining permission to tweet. In an email statement to CNN Business, O'Keefe again said it was false, that the video contained private information, and claims Twitter told the group it could have its account reinstated if it deleted the tweet containing the video. So it's interesting that Twitter has refused to decline to say what the reason was.

Veritas said, no, no, no, it's not permanently banned, but CNN still runs the headline that it is permanently banned. I guess we'll have to wait and see. By the way, this is the same CNN that showed up at a memer's house. Someone who made memes at their house. Was it also them or was it another organization

that threatened to dox them unless they take down the memes? That was CNN. I mean, that's the same news organization that's talking about accosting other individuals. I mean, you got to be kidding me. I mean, the layers of hypocrisy are insane. Didn't they go to that old lady's house

because she was sharing Russian memes or whatever? She was like a member of a page that the Russians were running. So they like show up at her house and she's like, what? What are you talking about?

And they're like, ma'am, you're supporting Russian propaganda. And it's like an old lady and she's like, what? And she goes in her house and like ignores them. They get crazy.

So just to clarify, do, I haven't watched enough news to know, but do they go to someone's house stand outside get a full video shot of the house yeah so it's like i don't but they blur out the address nope they'll show the address online so that's doxing yep yeah it's illegal right in sweden they they they hacked the disc they hacked discus a commenting system, and then they doxxed anonymous commenters and

showed up to their houses filming. Is that illegal? To publish someone's private information? Absolutely not. No, because it's technically public information. It has to be accompanied with a threat or something like that. But if it's just that, because I've been doxxed

five, six times, and you can't really do anything unless it's accompanied with, this is a person's address, and people should go. But does Twitter have no doxxing in their terms of service? You're not allowed to doxx. Yeah, private information. So they consider it doxxing. But James didn't include any private information. I didn't see any address.

I didn't see license plates. It was actually blurred. I saw cars, and they were blurred license plates. Everything was blurred. I mean, it doesn't even matter, because the real point much like uh gina we were talking about earlier it's just about anyone who's defiant they're gonna try to crush you so the fact that they're not already banned actually amazes me well this is what's funny they're going after tucker carlson because he made comments about george floyd and i did a video about this earlier and i don't look veritas there

was no large uprising where they were like, we must ban James O'Keefe. He just got quietly suspended really, really quickly. The reason is James O'Keefe is an actual threat to them because he actually produces video content without his opinion in it. He might editorialize. He might, you know, he reads the copy and he's the one doing the voiceover. But when they show you a video of a VP of Facebook saying things, that's not an opinion. That's the person actually saying it. I mean, it might be the VP's opinion or the employee's opinion, but it's not Veritas' opinion.

Tucker Carlson is an opinion guy. He's an excellent boogeyman for the left. So they can go, oh, no, look at Tucker saying these things. Everyone quit, donate, give me money, and subscribe to my Patreon so that we can complain about Tucker. And then CNN's Fox News review show is like, I can't believe Tucker would say that. They don't want Tucker banned.

They need him. He's a boogeyman. Veritas, on the other hand, they can't boogeyman him. They try. They definitely do. But they can't show you what he's actually doing. With Tucker, they show clips from his show

and they're like, look at that opinion. What are you going to do? Tucker's allowed to have an opinion. It could be a dumb opinion. You don't got to like it, but it's very different. Yeah. They want to keep Tucker around, in my opinion, because he's a pressure release valve for the populist right, as is a show like this, in my opinion.

Not everybody on the populist right, because we did rag on Trump quite a bit and we do rag on Republicans, but it still functions as, in essence, a pressure release valve for those who are freaking out about censorship. Tucker is one show on one channel up against the entirety of the machine. They demonize him as a boogeyman to keep people on their side in line while allowing him to act as a pressure release valve. Veritas is an actual journalistic outlet producing damning information and exposing the corrupt. Nuked.

Yeah, I think they do fair, unbiased journalism. And for me, if it... This is like my... Fox News or Veritas? Veritas. This is my litmus test for Twitter. If they ban his account for that, I'll stop using Twitter completely.

I have no problem. I raised my account from like 400 followers to 10,000 in the last six months. I've been heavily using Twitter. But... What's your Twitter? Ian Crossland. If they blow this, I think I'm going to Mines 100% full-time.

Yes. You know, that's the issue, too. A lot of us got to put our money where our mouth is and be more active on other platforms. It's hard. That's just it. I don't even care about Twitter interactions. I don't even know why I use it. I probably should just start posting on Mines more.

That's it. I'll do it. Yeah, I'm building up my email list, and i definitely recommend everyone else do the same and i'm twitter instagram i'm just i'm just gonna be extra spicy i have been i've been having a lot of fun with that if it goes it goes but i have my email list we are changed at org top right hand corner means a lot to me i got a better idea we talked about we talked about this a bit on the on a show last week or so why don't we just create a can we create some kind of like federated plugin for websites should so instead of telling people a bit on a show last week or so, why don't we just create a... Can we create some kind of federated plug-in for websites?

Should. So instead of telling people follow me on Twitter, I just say follow me on timcast.com. We're talking about rebuilding RSS. So basically what we could do is we could create a feed where I can just pull up an app on my phone and I can like I would normally tweet, but I would just go to my own

it would go to timCast.com. And we can all do it. So if you go there, you'll see all of us. But then we can also do the same thing for all of our guests. But then on their websites, they do the same thing. And so basically there is no one social site. It's just essentially RSS where everyone is getting access to this feed where people are commenting and posting things. We actually talked about RSS3, like going, so we should talk to our incredibly talented developers

that we have in the house to get some advice and take that, move forward with that because I think that's a great idea. Yeah. One of the things that we were talking about doing is creating a, like a white label software,

open source, that people can just, they can buy a domain, buy server space, and then install the package and then instantly have a full social media site, but it's on their server space. So if the hosting company bans them, well, that's, you know, there you go. You could still get banned, but Twitter can't do it. Facebook can't do it.

And then what we do is we just network them together in some capacity. It would be weaker than Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube because the networking is limited compared to what you can do on Twitter, like hosting videos and stuff. But we can still make a rudimentary system that would work this way. I think it's probably a good idea. We should probably do it. I like that. One of the reasons I started TimCast.com was because I'm like, okay, well, I can always post here if I get banned.

So instead of saying, you know, follow me on Twitter, follow me on TimCast.com, go to the website. We need to make something that aggregates posts from websites, I suppose. So we have the members-only section. Maybe we can make a directory that incorporates memberships or content posts from a ton of different creators, influencers, whatever, commentators. That way you have one app where you can follow everybody, but all it is is a directory, not actually a social media website. Follow their website activity all through a decentralized – were you going to say something, Luke? Well, I was just – I don't want to sidetrack, finish your points, but I want to talk about the Florida travel restrictions. Why? Did you look into it?

No, I was hoping maybe we could pull up a story and then read it. We will in a second. That's crazy. I guess we're pretty close to up a story and then read it. We, we will in a second. Crazy. I guess, I guess we're, we're pretty close to wrapping this up, this one up as it is. I guess the general idea is, is there anybody who wants,

you know, especially those listening who wants to put together an open source, very simple white label package that you can install into a server that gives you the functionality of Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube. And then we can create a parent directory that just aggregates those. So basically we make a website called like, Amazing FunhouseAdventure.com.

And when you go there, if you set up one of these white label software programs on your server, you just put your domain, you submit your domain to the site, it gets added to the directory, and then people can follow. And then you go to this website, and you'll see a list of all the posts from these websites and then what they could ban the directory i suppose but the website still exists new directories would pop up and you can't ban it simple as that you could host video you'd have to pay to host your own video that's of course of a downside but and you have to pay you'd have to pay to host your own everything but hey look if you're gonna pay i mean how much how much is it going to cost to host text? Just text.

Not much. Right. If at all. That's going to be like $10 for the domain and then like, you know, what, $10 a month or something for server space? Right. And then all you're doing is posting your tweets. No one can ban you.

That's what iTunes is saying. They're like, you know, they're trying to get podcasts banned. But iTunes is like, we're a directory. We list RSS feeds. We don't actually host anything. What do you want to ban? Well, stop listing it. It's literally just plugins, we're a directory. We list RSS feeds. We don't actually host anything. What do you want to ban? Well, stop listing it. It's literally just plugins, you know, whatever.

Where do they host the stuff from iTunes, the podcast? Where are those hosted that they're pulling from? On people's own servers. Yeah. People's own websites. Oh, so you're hosting like the Timcast show on a server? A proprietary server. Like AWS or something?

It's a proprietary server. But iTunes facilitates it for you? And all I do is provide the RSS link to the podcast platforms. Oh, so you have someone else holding the server for you, and then you provide a link to iTunes? There is an RSS link that is given to the podcast platforms, and then they post it. But I'm wondering, how do you get your podcast online? Proprietary server. That's you finding a proprietary server somewhere else?

You upload to a proprietary server that you get access to, and then you send the link to the podcast. You say you get access to it. You have to actually go get – it's not through iTunes. It's something separate. Ian, I'm not going to reveal exactly how we're hosting our private content. I don't care the name of it, but you're saying you go outside of iTunes. You send the RSS link to itunes and itune just shows the link that's it end of story uh you wanted to talk about florida a little bit yeah i

mean there's there's some scuttlebutt there's some rumors according to some um anonymous reports from inside the white house that the biden administration is considering imposing domestic travel restrictions to florida to stop the spread of COVID-19. There's a lot of responses and official statements made by a lot of Florida government officials, not a lot of government officials from the White House that allegedly are going to be imposing this. So still unconfirmed, but that's the rumors that we're having. Let's do this. Why don't we dive into this on the website because we're at super chat time. Let me just read one paragraph here from this NPR article that says DeSantos, the governor of Florida, pointed that the coronavirus-related emergency room visits in Florida have dropped by more than half since December. He said he's 100% opposed to any restrictions domestically.

So that's DeSantos. That's what he said. Good for him. Just wanted to make that statement a tease to what we're going to be talking about afterwards. He's a rock star. I love him. Well, let's go to Super Chats. If you haven't already, smash the like button.

Hit that notification bell. Subscribe. All of that stuff. And like I said, go to TimCast.com because we're going to have that segment where we – the reason why I was saying we should save this for the bonus segment or the members only segment is because we're going to say a whole bunch of stuff youtube probably will be unhappy with so uh let's give ourselves that space to do it because it sounds like a freaky story other than that we are going to uh get up on these uh we're going to get over to these super chats and uh all right let's see what we got carlos mencia oh wow the carlos mencia says i know how to build and design what you're talking about where can i get in touch um you know what for anybody who's interested email jobs at timcast.com

i've actually set it up that's gonna get inundated but i'm you know what man i was actually we were driving back and i was like why don't we just fund like our own tv show why don't we just like they banned that they fired gina you know carano and i'm like why don't we just like they banned that they fired gina you know carano and i'm like why don't we just make our own shows we don't got hollywood budgets but it's not hard to make that's what the daily wire is starting to do which i think is a really positive move i forgot we were live by the way until you said super chats i like completely forgot you're like i'm just sitting here yeah even if we make really bad ones and really cringy ones they would still be a lot better than the propaganda in Hollywood.

Yeah. It's really, really frustrating because YouTube has changed the layout for Super Chats, so I can't actually read the name of the Super Chat. That's weird. Yeah. That sucks. Yeah, why did they do that? That's horrible. People deserve to have their name right.

Dude, Google does not know how to run a social network. They never have. Yeah, well, you know. In the beginning, they did when, you know, you actually got to see what you subscribe to. All right, we got...

But they just bought YouTube. YouTube knew how. Google bought it and then started to ruin it. Yeah. We got Darth Helix says, Tom McDonald's new song has been removed

from all major music services. No. His message is too powerful. Please get him as a guest. That makes me so mad. Tom's cool. We know Tom. And I'll tell you this right now. new song has been removed from all major music services his message is too powerful please get him as a guest uh tom's cool we know tom and i'll tell you this right now you think tom's cool he is we have a ton of other people we've all reached out to a ton of really awesome people people can't travel right now it's true so a lot of people are like why uh i don't want i don't want to mention anything too specific about people's families or whatever but there's a lot of there's a lot of people are like, why? I don't want to mention anything too specific about people's families or whatever, but there's a lot of issues where people are taking health very seriously. And so there's been like a dozen really amazing guests I'm super excited for.

Some people I'm just like, there's like one particular person I've been a fan of for a decade. And they're like, I'd love to do the show, but COVID. And here are the reasons and i'm like those are legitimate oh that sucks so i'm just the backup yes oh yeah definitely definitely we were like what what crazy person would fly from you know across the country and blair we were like oh yeah we'll get blair she'll totally do it she'll do it absolutely yeah no we're stuck to have you of course i love tom mcdonald by the way i think what he's doing is awesome i just discovered him last week i don't know why I'm late on the train

and I messaged him on Instagram I was like good job and he's like my girlfriend's freaking out she loves you I was like that made me feel really good his videos are so good and did you know his girlfriend films all of them

it's only those two doing all of it no big production and the quality is so good. That's why I'm saying. Maybe we should put them both on the show. That's why I'm saying let's start making stuff. Yes. So jobs at timcast.com.

What do we need? We'll just start pitching ideas. I don't know. If someone wants to build the flux capacitor or invent a time machine, same thing. Whatever, man. I can't believe they ordered Mufa's song. I mean, I can believe it, but that's just so crappy. I mean, he yells, facts don't care about your feelings

That's right Alright let's see what we got VBDC says check out my interviews With Ian and Zertis On talkie time only on IG Big up Tim crew That's on Instagram yeah Justin Meyer says

Who is this Blair chick she's got What's that supposed to be an h I think he typoed sounds great what's got mean hot oh maybe yeah we'll go with that that's right Gareth Green says hey Blair I've been following you since 2017 oh thank you Gareth is one of our mega super chatters super chats a lot so great nice thank you so much Jay says I have been canceling my Disney plus sub after each episode of the mandalorian the service doesn't offer me anything else that is worthwhile now i have more reason to stay unsubscribed cancel season three you know i'm uh i kind of feel bad

I was like, I should, season two, I was like, I should watch it. And Gina Carano was great in it. I thought she was great. I thought she was good in Deadpool. And then when this happened, people started saying, you should cancel Disney Plus because of the Uyghur Muslim thing and their support for

the paramilitary group. And I was like, oh, why did I subscribe to this in the first place? Because they still get to keep my money even though I canceled. I just wanted to watch Che money, even though I canceled. You know? I just wanted to watch Cheetah Girls. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that.

Just something simple. Diz His says, I don't like Blair White, but you guys should be able to handle other opinions. Sounds like cancel culture. Live chat got a chill. Oh, I'm sorry. He says, I don't like Blair White either, but you guys should be able to handle other opinions. Sounds like cancel culture. Live chat got a chill. Oh. culture live chat gotta chill oh geez all right well not everyone's gonna love you i mean ian gets a lot of a lot of flack welcome to hell but you know what it's

it's so much better to be someone that everyone has a strong opinion about than the opposite i mean it's good for ratings i mean it's followed up by from Make the Transition. I love Mommy Blair. So, yeah. Right. It's love or hate. Love it. Garhunt says, Gina was fired day before Q1 Disney release. Rumor is internal Disney employee released it before Q1 to save her. Disney was firing her before.

Interesting. No, but she got canned from UTA. That's brutal. Like, those are your talent agency. UTA is a big deal. Like, those are your talent agency. Yeah, UTA is a big deal. Yeah. I'm not a fan. And I'm more a fan of making your own stuff.

That's right. Yeah. We need to build our own industries. We need to build our own infrastructure for all this stuff. Man, I had management, CBS management. They had been at CBS before. And they dropped me when I was making YouTube videos with a black eye talking about getting hit in the face. They were like, it's too racy, dude.

That industry sucks. Yep. It's like a big snake that you want to ride that will bite you and throw you off if you mess with it. True. Yeah. Enabled Diamond says, Sour Patch Lids, I at you on Twitter. Can you please show my dog?

I love her so much. Basically everybody like Blair is great. Thank you. Love it. Shaker Silver says, why focus on Pedro? Go for the jugular. Disney has not

answered for support of the Uyghur camps and the lead actress of Mulan supporting Hong Kong police. All true. Not good. Another shout out. We have Clayton Redding says, Reddick says,

Serpentza and LaWai86 would be awesome guests. True. You have a lot of follower overlap. That would be, that would be very, that would be very happy about it. Very true. Yeah.

What's up? Are we going to look them up? Yeah. Yeah. They're in my list. We've reached out to them, right? Yeah.

I know. I know. I've reached out. Yeah. It's all good. I want Elliot Hulse. Who's that? Yes, I know. He's another YouTuber. He's like a trainer. Strength camp. He's super cool. Yeah. I know. I know. I've reached out. Yeah, it's all good. I want Elliot Hulse. Who's that? Yes, I know.

He's another YouTuber. He's like a trainer. Strength camp. He's super cool. I like him. Let's see. Xerosopher says, love you, Tim, but Occam's razor is not the simplest solution is often the correct one. It is, quote, competing hypotheses about the same prediction. One should select the solution with the fewest assumptions. Simple

solutions can have huge assumptions. That's a very, very very good point and thank you for the correction because i have been oversimplifying the statement for sure yes the one that makes the fewest assumptions is is a better way of saying it yes our our bracewell been saying this is pre-world war ii germany speak up and speak out don't let them take your voice don't let them tell you you're wrong who cares if you don't have a facebook or twitter shut them up and shut them down before they get you do not go quietly there there are a bunch of people i know who are prominent and powerful and like you were saying about hollywood half is conservative they seem to think and i'll tell you this you guys are wrong that if they shut up and sit down then the tide will pass over them it will not.

It'll get you. You know that meme of death going door to door? Yes. That's what's happening. And for some reasons, people are like, well, he's going to skip this one because I'm not making any noise. No, he's opening every single one. Because they don't actually need a reason.

They can make up things too. You know what I mean? Just like Chris Pratt, when everyone was going after him for being a suspected conservative and he was getting hate for that. It's like, they're all going to get you. Tom Brady.

It was racist of him to win the Super Bowl. Right. They can just make it up. They were like Colin Kaepernick was trending after the Super Bowl and they were saying like happy Colin Kaepernick appreciation day. I'm like why? You can praise him as an activist. I don't care

but he doesn't play football. See, I don't know anything about the Super Bowl. I didn't even know what's happening when it was happening. But I told my friend, I was like, oh, the Super Bowl is on. They'll make it about race somehow. And then it happened. It was just so predictable. Unavoidable.

Yeah. Jordan Fowler says, Tim and crew, are any of you worried that the government considers you to be too radical because of what you say and come after you with the FBI or ATF saying you're dangerous because you own guns. I'm not worried. No, no, I'm not. In fact, I think things have improved for me because when I first went to buy guns, I was heavily delayed. It took like five days. Not anymore. Right now. It's like they punch it in and the FBI guys that it's called Nix. They're just like, oh, like oh it's tim again hey we were joking that they're probably at this point they're probably like oh hey it's tim we watch a show yeah here you go get your guns or whatever yeah correct i don't i'm not worried uh i you

know i don't i don't what do you think luke are you worried we uh you know dot our i's cross our t's we don't do anything illegal uh we're overly careful about making sure we follow every little made-up rule. It doesn't matter. All rules are made up. We make sure that we're squeaky clean, and we are. There's nothing they could get us on. I've been basically

invited to Bilderberg, so I'm not concerned. Very cool. Ian's part of the Illuminati. Oh, snap. Dimitri Kudzik says hi Tim love your idea on making short films that are not affected by today's divisive political climate by the way

where can one send a pitch script I'm a professional 3D animator and VFX artist will be happy to help with CG if you need it you know honestly I don't even know where to begin with something like this because I'm not I've made documentaries i've never made fiction stuff the documentaries i've made have have always been field reporting you know verite kind of stuff or hosted stuff in terms of putting together a short film i don't know where to begin you can send

everything to me at lydia at timcast.com which everyone latched on to after tim said that in his morning well actually we have jobs at timcast.com we do everyone latched on to after Tim said that in his morning assignment. Well, actually, we have jobs at Timcast.com. We do? Very cool. Yes. Yes, I've created something specific. We have super. So I think, however, we'll need to make pitches or pitch at Timcast.com soon.

We don't have that now. But jobs will suffice because not everyone is trying to pitch a story. And to be completely honest, I don't know if we're at the point where we can actually go through that and get to it. I think the first thing we need to do is hire a um a production specialist you know someone who can do it and knows what they need to make short films and see a series and i'd love to actually fund maybe like a 10 episode series of some sort we're not gonna we don't get it's not a big budget but you look at shows like the office and their budget is mostly the star power you know the actors and their cost watching that last night

it's not hard to do something you know really simple with a couple cameras and we have the resources to do it so let's just do it we could make you know i was thinking about i think you mentioned this earlier before around the show you said comedy is like dying or dead blair and then i was like well there's ryan long you know, Tim Dillon, yeah. J.P. Sears. Yeah, definitely J.P. Sears. Yeah, yeah. There's a few.

Yeah, so I'm like, well, maybe that's the kind of humor that we can do in a sitcom that doesn't exist in TV or Disney or Hulu because they're terrified little babies. And look, I'll make what people want to watch if they want to watch it

and if it works, we'll make more. You know, that sounds fun. I think it's a good idea. We just got to build our own infrastructure. Definitely. Like Tom McDonald doing his thing independently. Yes, exactly.

Oh, we got a big old super chat from Emmanuel Zayas. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Plubius the Good says Marco Rubio was the main one who has been in charge of censorship. He was the one who called the expert witness that famously said, we must silence the cannons on social media. 800 journalists from both sides of the aisle were banned immediately after.

Wow, really? Whoa. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Jeez. KDB says, so happy to see Blair on. I watch every single one of you, of both of your videos. Wish I wasn't working so I could watch it all live.

Now, to make one more dream come true, Luke, if you haven't decided yet, please scare Tim with shoe on head. Ah, okay. Well, what does that mean? Well, you want shoe to come on the show? Oh. No, Tim stormed my RV with Alex Jones

and woke me up when I was taking a nap. And now I got to find someone to bring on the show to scare the crap out of Tim when he's sleeping. I got your back, Luke. That's great. I got this. Well, shoe's always welcome to come on the chef to scare the crap out of Tim when he's sleeping. I got your back, Luke. That's great. I got this.

Well, Shu's always welcome to come on the show, but we have a lot of invites out. Standing invite. Contact me, Shu. So many. Whoever Shu is. Oh, yeah. KCB says, I nuked all my social media a month ago, and the joy I have in life has been wildly increased.

Also, happy 40th birthday to my beautiful wife of 20 years. Happy birthday. Oh, my gosh love it jack bencivenga says would you want to have gina carano on the show as a guest i saw a segment of steven crowder where he said he'd hire her i saw that too he was like i don't care for what you're hired we'll give you any job oh my gosh i would it'd be amazing to have gina carano on the show i'd absolutely love to uh i tweeted out tweeted at her. It's the only real way you know. Yeah, it's hard. But, you know, I'm sure this has been

pretty crummy for her, so I don't want to... She's going through it, I'm sure. You don't want to be asking for favors, you know. Yeah. Yeah, no. But maybe it could also be an opportunity to speak freely for a couple hours, explain, you know.

She went on the Babylon Bee podcast, i guess recently right before everything yeah yeah yeah so look it would be once the dust settles and she's kind of like because it can't feel good she's probably really going through it yeah i mean maybe she's not maybe she's like she seems kind of tough i wonder if she was just like she does seem tough angry i'm sure she's devastated i went through it prematurely i had to leave the entertainment industry after i had like management with CBS And booking commercials and television But I just kept speaking honestly on YouTube They stopped working with me basically

And I realized I had to make a choice Go down there and be subservient Or do the free speech thing I did free speech I lost all the money All the notoriety Almost killed myself And now

Now it's, I've realized I did the right thing by sticking to my honest truth. So she's like just entering that, that like,

what have I done? What have I done with my life? I've just been blinded by the entertainment. What have you done with your life? She fought eight MMA matches and won seven of them.

Boom. Yes. Yeah. So my thing's always like, if tomorrow I got perma-banned from every platform and then my hosting, everything went So my thing's always like, if tomorrow I got permabanned from every platform and then my hosting, everything went down,

I'd be like, go fishing. You can't, you know. Yeah. I've always been like that too. It's like everything ended right now. Yeah, but what if they took all your money away?

Well, that's different. No, they took all your houses, all your money tomorrow. All of my houses. You'd be like, what would you do with your life? I go skate. You'd be like, what would you do with your life? I'd go skate.

You'd probably try and get it back. Nah. I would imagine you wouldn't turn over and give up. But it depends. Like, you know,

I'd love to just go hang out at the skate park and just skate all day. You know? I would go to Bali and live for pennies on the dollar. Yeah, Costa Rica, man.

Costa Rica. You know, the issue is, I'll tell you this, to be Yeah, Costa Rica, man. Costa Rica. You know, the issue is, I'll tell you this, to be honest, you need money to a certain degree. So if everything got banned, I'd probably do some consulting work, make enough to sustain myself for a decent amount,

and probably just go skate. Would you continue to try the same methodology or would you do some totally different lifestyle? I don't know. I'd probably just go skate, go fishing, and live in a van down by the river. I got the van. It's ready to go skate, go fishing, and live in a van down by the river. I got the van.

It's ready to go. I guess they can't take your van. Very true. They can try. Very true. I don't know. They took everything away from me. It's an extreme

postularity. I'd go live in the woods and build a mud hut. Yeah. All right. Publius the Good says, well, we need a freedom party. This issue is that

Biden used his power under the Obama administration to use the IRS to destroy the Tea Party. I don't see a realistic solution when the ruling class will unlawfully try to destroy all the opposition. I hear you on that one, man. It's true, man. Swiftie says, I think the only the only thing about Disney as it is now that Walt Disney himself would be disappointed or angry with is that most of the management is is i is either jewish or female very sad speakable walt disney was a raging anti-semite and a sexist so yeah you know that's the that's the point yep publius the good says plus plus plus plus five thousand for

your guest well said heck yeah people think you are great blair oh thank you it's very true chris papato says calling you guys out hypocrites for bashing Twitter but still using it. You all have other means to reach fans. Why keep it? Smack talking it but helping them in ad revenue. And please, don't just say it's the new social gathering place. No, I think you're right. Absolutely.

And I think that's why I'm going to focus more on the teamcast.com. I'm going to see if we can build the system where we can all post stuff in like a Twitter-like style just on the website. So I would just be like, follow me on my website. And we have our posts of content all day and our jokes. And you can comment or respond. That's probably the way to do it, man. We already have a comment section. We just need to create, you know, just blog posts.

And, yeah, I should probably use mine more than Twitter from now on. Probably just use Twitter for reading the news i understand that hypocritical statement it's that kind of wrecks me during my life where i think you know we live off the backs of child slaves this clothing was made probably in a factory somewhere by people i don't know but i do it anyway we type on plastic that's that's what we're sorry tim are we gonna say no let's move on so i don't know man we're all hypocrites yeah yeah we are this is a good one ib drago says bill gates is mr rabbit in utopia he literally checks off all the boxes yikes do you know what that is mr rabbit so you utopia the the new one that came out on Amazon is about this tech mogul guy, or he's making fake meat.

And am I spoiling the show if I tell everybody? Well, spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. Mute it if you don't want to know. If you don't want to watch Utopia. Basically, they call him Mr. Rabbit, and he manufactured, like they're staging a virus, or I think they manufactured it so that they can give people a vaccine that sterilizes them. Yes.

You know, so. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. They canceled it because people were like, yo, this is. Too close to reality, right?

It's a little close to home. A little bit. Or I guess it made people like think it was real. Whatever. People are silly. Well, actually, so the show is about a comic book that is basically predicting what's going on.

And so the point people are making was it's a show about a fictional medium predicting that there is going to be a fake disease where they'll use it as a pretext for giving everyone a vaccine that sterilizes them. And now in the real world, there is this show which is saying everything that happened. And it's, you know, there's a vaccine coming out. So people got freaked out by it. Are you all get the vaccine no way uh no i have food allergies i have no plans yeah so i don't i guess i'm not supposed i can't get it there was a pregnant lady who got it and miscarried and it's they say don't do this there was a story where it was like in the united kingdom specifically they tell people if you're pregnant don't take it if you have allergies don't right right right so i'll tell you this there's a story where it's like a woman and she's like

standing with her hands on her hips and she's getting the vaccine and she's 14 weeks pregnant and then she posts two weeks later saying this is tragic we miscarried and i feel so bad for her sorry but like they warned women who are pregnant not to take the vaccine and they warned people with food allergies not to do it so as far far as I'm concerned, I'm going to follow those guidelines because a woman miscarried. I take it seriously. That's serious. Look, a lot of people get too much into the politics of it. Talk to your doctors.

If your doctors tell you what you should do, you should do it. And if there are things that are like counterindicated or they say you don't do it for these reasons, take it seriously. I'm not super worried. We're talking about herd immunity. It means there's a lot of people who have no problem. They're going to get the vaccine. They're going to be fine.

And I think a couple million or whatever already have. Biden is going to do his mass rollout. Then we have herd immunity and not everyone is going to get it. I'm not saying people should ignore it and not get it. I'm saying if you are pregnant, if you are nursing, if you have allergies, you should follow those instructions. And I'm taking those seriously because I don't want anaphylaxis. I mean, that does not sound fun.

Yeah. The head of Johnson & Johnson, by the way, is saying that people should take the shot once a year and they're going to have to take it when it mutates and changes. There's also some news about rare blood disorders that are coming up with some people. A lot of things we got to get into that we're going to talk about later on. Yeah. So I'm immunocompromised and I probably will not be taking it at all until people around me have taken it like i'm not going to worry about it until everyone around me is super chill about it you know what i mean yeah so turkey

face says don't mind me i'm just simping for blair for blair white she's awesome heck yeah i guess so many of these comments i'm like passing because it's just like people you know praising blair okay well shout out to the one super chat that made me think everyone hated me reality all these are like positive things they love you you know i i i don't want to bring the negativity but i also think if someone comments something negative and i skip it because they're saying something bad about somebody that's fake too yeah it's fake it's fake but i gotta be honest they're mostly praising you also like i don't know that negativity doesn't deserve to get propagated sometimes it's like if you're damaging the system

why would i highlight you so i don't know i got mixed feelings i used to want to show everybody propagate everyone everyone deserves a chance but behavior certain behaviors i don't i don't know then all of a sudden i become the the hierarch that decides what canon should and shouldn't be said. Good point. Right. It's a deep conversation. Yeah. Michael Holder says,

I was going to buy one of those space helmets to troll my coworkers, and my manager shut me down because it would affect my peripheral vision. No moral browbeating morons for me. Sad troll noises.

Aw. I'm going to have fun. I'm going to take this thing out to Walmart, and I'm going to give everyone disgusted looks. Yes. When they're looking at me, I'm going to go, ugh. Not asons for me. Sad troll noises. I'm going to have fun. I'm going to take this thing out to Walmart and I'm going to give everyone disgusted looks. Yes. When they're looking at me, I'm going to go, ugh. Not as good as me. I don't know why you're yelling at me. He'll totally lecture them.

And I have two of them. So like me and Ian can both do it. And just like it's the best thing. You virtue signaling. It feels so good when you when you express your moral superiority over your fellow man imagine being able to physically wear a space helmet and then just point at people and yell like amazing remember in invasion of the body snatchers when what's his face sutherland guy what's his first name sutherland yeah he goes like points and yells we can do that because you know what's funny is people really do that like i see people that do like the double

mask and the face shield and the goggles and they look at you crazy they look at you like you're gonna go someone luke's got a funny meme where it's a guy wearing sunglasses and he's just he's he's thinking like that's crazy and it's a guy wearing a mask and a face shield getting anal swabbed for a covid test and he's thinking conspiracy theorist. But that's what they're doing in China. Yeah, it's all that. They're butt swabbing people. That's nice of you. Alright, Count Ludwig

says, I hate formal boycotts, but I think that free speech lovers must start organizing them against companies that kowtow to cancel culture. In war, the best funded organized army usually wins. Right now, we're just arranging a ragtag squad. True. Yep. Yep, you vote with your dollar.

Zach, let's see. Robert Boss says, Interesting. Yeah, they on board in bandanas, masks only. Interesting. Yeah, they don't do bandanas. American's pretty bad with it. That's fair. I get it.

Yeah. Publius the Good says, well said, Tim. This is the central issue. The stimulus bills have done virtually nothing for individual people and massively benefited corrupt corporations. Yep. Very true. More people saying that they've canceled their Disney Plus. I think it's the right move because, you know, as long as moderates,

disaffected liberals, conservatives, whatever this pro-freedom faction is, as long as they're not going to be organized and do anything, they're just going to keep losing. So you got to start, you know, voting with your dollars, man. You got to say no yeah all right keyboard warrior says tim what was the military stealth radar you talked about the other day that got recalled for too many false positives what terms can i google for do you remember that it's like a quantum radar quantum radar that's what it was yeah the idea was that it could detect

invisible things in the sky and it was giving too many readings, I guess. Too many false positives. We can't show this anymore. Well, I'll say this. I haven't looked into that story. I don't know what it's about. That was my assumption. You can Google it and you can investigate it and fact check it.

It was too good, so they pulled it off the market and just told everyone that it was malfunctioning. But in truth, it was too powerful. Or it was actually malfunctioning. That was my conspiracy theory. Cassetto says, here's money just because you said The Book of Eli is a good movie. The Book of Eli is awesome. Very true.

Have you all seen it? Yep. You've not seen it? You'd love it. It's great. It's really good. Man. I don't want to say anything.

I don't want to spoil it now because Luke's not seen it. It's awesome. It's Denzel, right? Denzel Washington? He's great. Wait, I thought it was Will Smith. No, no, no, no. Denzel Washington. I guess it is Denzel. Yeah? Denzel Washington? Yeah. He's great. Wait, I thought it was Will Smith. No, no, no, no.

Denzel Washington. I guess it is Denzel. Yeah. Maybe you're thinking of... iRobot? No, I Am Legend. Yeah. Yeah.

There you go. Yeah, I've seen both of those, but yeah. Similar post-apocalyptic. iRobot was good, too. Yeah, I think iRobot was awesome. Movies suck now. Right? Seriously, thank you.

Oh, yeah, Will Smith was in iRobot, right? Yeah. I think that's one of his best movies. It was good. So good. I kind of want to watch it now. Yes. Gareth Green says, Tim and Blair remember Kilroy?

The meme? Oh, the event. The Kilroy event. Remember that? Do you remember that? Have I lost my mind? I don't know what that is. They were doing that.

It sounds familiar, but. It was like in Phoenix or whatever. They were going to do that event and then it fell apart because. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. That was. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. That was a moment.

Indeed. Yeah. That was a moment. A moment. One of those drama things that doesn't matter to the bigger world, huh? Yeah. See, I forgot about it. I'm like, what?

Doug Smith says, Tim, love your show. My wife and I are new business owners. Opened a storefront February 2020. Got shut down. Still had to pay rent. Been holding on, but we haven't taken a paycheck for a year how can we sponsor you win-win

what's the store what do they do yeah what's your I well I don't know I not be able to respond they can probably message us through the email and then we can info info at timcast.com we could figure out some kind of creative way to help each other yeah info at timcast.com I love it Prometheus says no helmet but wearing a mask is normal for many way to help each other. That would be great. Info at TimCast.com. I love it.

Prometheus says, no helmet but wearing a mask is normal for many motorcycle riders, more specifically Harley riders for bugs. You see, Luke? You were wrong. You judged somebody and you were wrong. No, this was like the medical mask. I understand a bandana, but this was like... Maybe he was wearing it because it

served the purpose. Then he had bugs in his mouth. Catch the bugs. Yeah. Please wear a helmet. He had no glasses. I didn't think he had glasses if that was the case. You're a bigot. Oh, that's all it is. Zix Captain LTIMT says, Hey, Tim, if you need someone to do some character voices for a satirical short,

I'd like to try out for that. Can go high and low from Ganondorf, Ocarina of Time, to Elvin from Elvin and the Chipmunks and higher and lower. Oh, very interesting. Very cool. Well, once we start figuring out what we're doing, you know, we'll do it to it. Are you taking pictures? I did a boomerang for Instagram.

Oh. I'm promoting your show. A boomerang. Love it. Arsian says, everyone watching right now should contact the FTC and try and take down conglomerates on Google, Facebook, and Twitter. These companies will not be nearly powerful if they don't have subsidiaries. Very true.

Well, file complaints when you have legitimate complaints, for sure. That's what their agencies are for. Sparky the Pyro says, Mystery Movie Theater 9000 Timcast Edition. When? That would be a lot of fun. That's a great question. But you can't do it. You can't watch a movie and comment on it because they'd take you down. That's so boring. Yeah. Unless you, like, you know't you can't do it you can't watch a movie and comment on it because they take you down so boring yeah unless you like you know what you do you record the commentary and tell people

as at the at the zero zero mark press play oh yeah we could release a bunch of those and you have a time stamp on it and then what you do is you turn us on while you watch the movie and you can hear us talk about the movie and do commentary. That'd be fun, right? Yeah. Migno Solomon says, I never understood income tax. Basically, the more productive you are, the more you pay versus sales tax, where the more you consume, you pay. If you use more resources, you're using more services that government provides. Thoughts?

I like I have no problem with taxes I have a problem with the corruption so there was this really great meme posted by this really brilliant independent journalist where it said when capitalists complain about socialism

they're complaining about government and when socialists complain about capitalism they're complaining about government I can't I can't figure out remember the name of this this genius independent journalist

who posts this Luke could you maybe know who it was no it was Luke he posted it it was totally Luke could you maybe know who it was? No, no, no. It was Luke. He posts it on Instagram. It was totally Luke.

Yeah, it was Luke. No, it was a good meme, though. It's like everybody, the socialists are like, the capitalists are doing this and that. And I'm like, you're complaining about corruption. And then the capitalists are like, the socialists, you're also complaining about corruption. Right.

That was today's meme, yeah. Yeah, today's meme while you do like one of your memes. There's a lot of memes. Yeah, that's the main one for my Instagram today. Meme of the day. That's right. Meme of the day. Steven Big says, I write and have directed several of my own movies.

If you are seriously interested in making your own shows, I would be interested in helping. Well, jobs at timcast.com. So it'll probably, you know, light up, but there you go. That's right. Aurora Diaz says, Tim, that's exactly Mastodon Social. You could make at tim at timcast.social and have a pod like email has a domain and they connect together. Well, not Mastodon, but the Fediverse. The problem with Mastodon is they're super woke far left and they ban everybody.

So the idea is to use something like the Fediverse, which so we very well, very way, very may well use Fediverse software. Beautiful. So that we can all link everything together. Alright, we'll just take maybe two more Super Chats. We have this one from Hannah Choi. It says, how do you guys get your sources? I can never find good, trustworthy sources on Google. By the way, love you, Blair. I just read multiple sources, so

I'll do a search for a story and I'll see what everybody's saying, and then I'll look at a right-wing source and a left-wing source and then try and figure out where the truth is at. Can I put my two cents in? Because I use Memeo Random, M-E-M-E, random.com, and they pull everything together for you. It's fantastic.

I really love it. It's like everything. It's completely unbiased. I love it. Nice. No, Luke? You don't have any sources? I mean, just it up fact check everything

and make sure there's actually evidence behind it look at the documents look at the photos look at who's corroborating it look at the witnesses is it an anonymous source

well there's reason to be skeptical of videos yes thank you alright we'll do one last super chat from Ed S he says Blair is hot

there's just a lot of them so there you go that's the finale super chat finale super chats love it so ladies and gentlemen we're going to do a a bonus segment it's gonna be for members only over at timcast.com so make sure you go there and sign up if you want to hear us talk all this crazy stuff that would probably get us banned off social media it's gonna be good and there's even a shout out to all the grifters who signed up to become members and have given us your emails and ips and all that

stuff to just download our clips and post them all over the internet which is just free promotion so hey it is what it is that's right i think the craziest thing is there are people who like you know clip the the private stuff it's like you gave us all your private information you know what i mean like why would you do that right and isn't it technically illegal no i mean there's there's there's there's some uh it's a civil case if they take proprietary behind the paywall and start leaking it stuff oh actually that might be yeah because there's people that take like people's maybe patreon exclusive content and you can actually go after them really wow well anyway become a member if you legitimately want to just watch the content
