Starting point is 00:00:00 We're going to start off this episode just by saying rest in peace, Rush Limbaugh. He is the, I guess, the godfather of talk radio. As most of you know, whether you're a conservative or not, talk radio became big basically because of Rush Limbaugh. And then because of that emerged other formats of something similar, different ideas, different ideologies, different politics, ultimately podcasting shows like this. I know a lot of conservatives are saying that every conservative talk host, you know, oh, is there beginning to rush Limbaugh, but let's be real. I mean, this format, he was the one who was doing it. He was the one who got the show syndicated. And whether you like the guy or not, you know, he broke ground in this in this field. I don't know if any of any of you guys who are, you know, you want to mention anything about Rush before we get started. You know, for me, Rush Limbaugh has helped my life
Starting point is 00:00:49 today because my girlfriend I've been with for many years, she grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh as her grandfather would listen to Rush at lunch. So they'd have lunch together and Rush Limbaugh would be on. It was the background to her life. And so when I met her, she already had that whole landscape laid out by Rush. So I'm eternally grateful to him for that. And just a guy who can put in that time, energy, effort, be consistent, persistent, bring the excellence every single day. It's something to celebrate. And rest in peace, Rush. It's a sad day.
Starting point is 00:01:19 Sad day for sure. I never really had much of a chance to listen to his work growing up. But I had a friend that his mother also was a huge fan mad respect to pioneers like that definitely and just the grind yeah yeah there's a lot of people on the left who are saying he doesn't deserve it he's an awful person there's nothing good to say about him and i'm like look whether or not you think someone was good or bad we want to make sure that only the good things that they did are we remember them for the best of their abilities. Rush Limbaugh pioneered this space. Let's give him credit and focus on the good things. And let the bad things, the things you don't like, just
Starting point is 00:01:52 go away and not get, you know, not become part of the culture. You've got to criticize bad things. But that being said, you know, rest in peace. And we're to talk about a lot of news, a lot of serious stuff. Apparently, recently, Joe Biden was giving a town hall. It was gaffe laden. And he made one of the most insane statements I've ever heard. I couldn't believe it when I woke up and I see this post. He was asked about criticizing China. And he said he wasn't going to criticize concentration camps and what's going on because China has different cultural issues, basically. The things that we need to talk about in this segment are so egregious that we run the risk of YouTube, you know, giving us the banhammer for simply mentioning. So we try to tiptoe. We try to use euphemism and keep it family friendly. But I'm telling you, we've heard the horror stories of history. What's going on right now
Starting point is 00:02:50 in China will go down in history as one of the most vile and disgusting acts of human rights abuses ever. Not the most. I'm not saying the most. There were some really, really bad things that happened throughout history. But definitely, definitely one of the worst. So and we've got a bunch of other stuff to talk about as well. We've got, you know, that Amy Cooper woman, she was the Central Park Karen, essentially forced to undergo reeducation therapy at an equity critical race theory center in exchange for not going to jail. So that I think is particularly shocking. And we'll get into other things, of course, as you probably realize, Jack Murphy is hanging out. What's up, everybody? Good to be back every other Wednesday. Jack Murphy on TimCast. By the way, head over to my YouTube page, please. YouTube.com forward slash Jack
Starting point is 00:03:32 Murphy live. New videos every day now. Great interview today with Matt Brainerd. Check it out. Appreciate it. Good to be back. I was going to say it will go down in history if China doesn't win. Because if China wins, they're going to rewrite history in their own kind of version. Also, today I was officially fact-checked by USA Today with one of my memes. All right. And in response to that, I am memeing up a storm on Instagram under Luke We Are Change. If you want to support me and my voluntary work here, the best and easiest way is to go to thebestpoliticalshirts.com and buy a shirt.
Starting point is 00:04:05 And you can buy a shirt like the one that I'm wearing right now. What was the meme? The meme was a picture of Joe Biden with a huge, like, crazy, ridiculous stack of executive orders. And it said, history will show that a dumbass with a pen is far more dangerous than the smartass with a tweet. And obviously, it's doctored. And then USA Today said, no, no, no, he didn't have that many executive orders. I mean, yes, it's covering the whole desk. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:04:30 It's supposed to be ridiculous. It's a meme. Employees from USA Today who consider themselves journalists spent today looking at my Facebook account and saying, that meme? You know, people shouldn't know that he had that many executive orders.
Starting point is 00:04:44 People shouldn't be joking about this. Cut it off. Memes are forbidden. I know. They're going after memes. The other day, Twitter blocked this tweet where it said, you stole my heart like a 2020 election.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Trump. And they blocked the tweet. They censored it. You can't reply to it. You can't like it, but you can quote it. I'm like, dude. It's satire.
Starting point is 00:05:03 It's comedy. No more humor yeah it was a meme that one's funny it was a meme it was a photograph okay which means i really doubt they used an ai to scan the language of the image someone saw that was like voter fraud isn't real and literally banned the silly joke that was just making fun of the situation i'm telling you they're going to go after art they're going to go after any form of expression, music, everything.
Starting point is 00:05:27 As they do. Everything's coming next. So it's not just politics. Right now we got Ian hanging out. What up, everybody? I came down from the tower, the wizard tower, to tell you about
Starting point is 00:05:34 iancrossland.net, my new social network. Well, it's more of a website where you can get coffee mugs like this. Free the code coffee mug if you support freeing the software code
Starting point is 00:05:45 like I do. Jack, great to have you here. I'm so glad to be back. This China thing is freaking me out. We'll get in on it. We're about to jump right in. So we also got to, sorry, Petra, let's press the button. Yeah, I got me in the corner.
Starting point is 00:05:54 So I love Rush Limbaugh because I have a similar story to Jack's girlfriends. My grandfather used to listen to him every morning in his room, and I would hear it through the guest room door. I thought it was my first exposure to politics. He was a really great guy. You know what I like about Rush Limbaugh? He voiced himself on Family Guy. Oh, yeah. Several times and even for a full episode. And the left loves to mock that I brought that up. And there's people saying like, oh, Tim Pool and his dumb pop culture references. I'm like, yes, regular people in this country who watch Family Guy
Starting point is 00:06:22 for the first time was like, oh, that's Rush Limbaugh. That's what he sounds like. I didn't know that. Rush Limbaugh did a show, Family Guy, with Seth MacFarlane, one of the like liberal, like most American liberal you can get. Hated Donald Trump. Very, you know, established, pro-establishment Democrat. And he actually had Rush Limbaugh come on the show several times and they worked together and apparently they were friends. That's good. That's a good thing. It's also, but you but you know what look ideologues absolutely hate it i
Starting point is 00:06:48 love that we can we can still find ways to love and laugh together so you know i'll leave that i think enough's been said in that regard uh but uh before we get started head over to timcast.com become a member we have an exclusive bonus episode my friends are gonna love this one it is james'Keefe.

And, yeah, don't forget to like share subscribe at the notification bell and let's jump into the first story we have
Starting point is 00:07:31 this from the new york post biden dismisses uighur internment camps because we have to keep the language family friendly as part of you can't even say that word no we can't oh goodness you can't say it i'm writing it in my journal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no joke. What's going on in China, we can't say it. What's the word? What's the first and last letter of the word? I guess G?
Starting point is 00:07:54 Oh. Yeah, it starts with a G. We can call them internment camps. Oh, okay. We can call them forceful re-education centers. We can say that women are being held down while men come in and force themselves upon the women the women are undergoing forced surgeries and other extreme uh forced sterilization as well as the forceful this is tough this is brutal i there's some there's more we should do it in the bonus segment and just be explicit.
Starting point is 00:08:25 There's so much more. Joe Biden, when asked about this, he basically said, you know, I'm not going to criticize them because, you know, they got different culture. I couldn't believe it. What? I could not believe it. It makes me think of, and I always hate bringing up the Nazis. I feel like they get too much publicity as it is.
Starting point is 00:08:42 But the way that the British appease them and people like they voted Hitler time man of the year. It was a Neville Chamberlain. Neville Chamberlain was like, he's in our time. Yeah. Yeah. Let's give them the Sue Dayton land.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Is that what it is? And then they were like, and then if we just give them this land, they won't, they won't aggress anymore. And like, if you give these totalitarian regimes and give and give, you just,
Starting point is 00:09:02 you're just empowering. Biden is suckling the teat of communist i don't know what to do because the what's the other option war i don't know okay do we remember back when donald trump mentioned that we do bad things remember and everybody was so mad that he questioned american exceptionalism right that is an interesting case to keep in mind when we look at this because what happened with Joe Biden is that he negated 50 years of American foreign policy, 50 years of American political philosophy, 50 years of us developing this notion of universal human rights
Starting point is 00:09:43 based on sort of postmodern American liberal values, which are meant to be universal in nature, which is why we went into Iraq, they said, which is why we went into Afghanistan, they said, which is why we went into Vietnam, they said, to push our universal American values of American liberalism. Yeah. Just in that one moment, Joe Biden introduced the notion of moral relativism. And he says, hey, they got a different culture. They do things a little bit differently.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Immediately negating our entire philosophical foreign policy position. Immediately negating American exceptionalism, and just neutering this idea of universal liberalism. People around the world rejoice when you hear Joe Biden say something like that. Well, his words were very important because it was almost as he was excusing the activities. He was talking about China's history. Whenever China wasn't united, they were attacked from the outside. And he talked about how this is the cultural norms. Well, if it's your cultural norm to strip down and have men forced on women, to have forced sterilization camps, internment camps, I'm trying to wash my words here. Unrequested insemination.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Yes, yes. That's one way that we could say it. If we're going to have something like that excused as a culture, that's absolutely inexcusable. And it's extremely dangerous, not just for the Uyghur Muslims, but for all the other people that are going to be under the Chinese umbrella. And because of the Belt and Road Initiative, because of China's goal to become the number one hegemonic power, a lot of people are going to be subjugated under China in the near future. What you just said, Jack, what did you what did you? I said that Joe Biden neutered American exceptionalism. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That I'm unrequested insemination.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Women are being held down. So this news broke. A witness came out and said that her job in the camps was to basically pin the women down while the men came in take their clothes off and then yeah this was reported by the bbc by the way upon them yeah we also got numerous reports that many of the women who on their own uh of their own volition became pregnant had the chinese government paramilitary forcefully end those pregnancies so they're forcefully sterilized they're trying to sterilize the uighur population but force the Han genetic code into other Uyghur women yes there's also videos of children being
Starting point is 00:12:12 taken away from their parents and then being told to repeat that the Chinese government the Chinese state the Chinese country is their mother now so it's what's happening right now especially with some of the drone footage that's been leaked of individuals being hooded and put on trains, is absolutely terrifying, especially when you see the larger response. Especially when you see on Twitter an embassy from the Chinese government officially say that it's women's rights that they're promoting, women's equality and women's freedom when they have these forced sterilizations on them. That's the kind of like crazy insane woke language that they're trying to use to justify this and you see you just saw joe biden usher and an utter ccp chinese communist party talking points to the american public let me like it was normal where did he get the talking points from i want i want to say i'll say two things the first
Starting point is 00:13:02 thing is we had china uncensored on the show yes and they said this the biden administration has people involved that like what china is doing in terms of their expansion and have praised them now i want to read you i want to read you what uh what biden said they say uh here's a quote i'll read the quote i point out to him no uh i'm assuming this is xi Jinping. No American president can be sustained as a president if he doesn't reflect the values of the United States. The US president continued. And so the idea that I am not going to speak out against what he's doing in Hong Kong, what he's doing with the Uyghurs in Western mountains of China and Taiwan, trying to end the one China policy by making it forceful. Xi gets it. Culturally, there are different norms that each country and their leaders are expected
Starting point is 00:13:46 to follow. The norms in China, as shown in a recent BBC News expose, include systemic torture. And as we mentioned, women being held down and men, you know, coming in and forcing themselves in these concentration camps. Following the release of the BBC report, China banned the outlet in its territory. Wow. Because it is happening. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:06 There's also a new rule in China where bloggers have to get a government-approved license and credential to talk about politics and foreign policy. But you could still talk about entertainment, food, and beverages. Hey. So that's the new rule. Where is that? China. Oh, in China.
Starting point is 00:14:21 In China, they instituted new policies. It was close enough to being like, that just happened in the they instituted new policies close enough yeah to being like that just happened in the u.s for me to be like wait whoa hold on a second it sounds like what biden's saying is the only reason he's going to talk disparagingly about what they're doing is because he doesn't want to lose his job exactly right he has to reflect the norms of his country to stay president whereas also he was saying that g g g that he also has to reflect the norms of his country. Well, China's influence is very vast. They're not only expanding all over the world, but they're expanding with a lot of multinational billionaire corporations that do have a big influence in the United States, whether it's Nike, Apple, Disney, you name them.
Starting point is 00:15:02 The ties of the Chinese money goes to universities, goes to a lot of our key institutions that set policy. So are we at a stage, and I think we should be seriously asking ourselves where the Chinese have already infiltrated us successfully and are dictating policy. And that's not a crazy question to ask.
Starting point is 00:15:19 I think that's a legitimate question to ask. They're all over the place. Just when Corona was breaking was that scandal of the CCP agents at Ivy League institutions as spies. Carrying viruses through the U.S. illegally. Yeah, the story was, I thought it was going to be a bigger story. That people who were spies for the Chinese government were smuggling in viruses. No joke.
Starting point is 00:15:43 I hate that the CCPcp is considered the chinese government that's like calling the nazi party the german government and they like co-opted that country through violent takeover and subterfuge and the like mao's communist revolution basically seized control of that country with a mono party well they rule with an iron fist they have a social credit score you say the wrong thing in some uh you know jurisdictions in china they will take you put you in a police room tie you down and make you apologize on camera doing unspeakable things to you again uh it was surprising also also to see a response from naomi wolf surrounding this particular issue she wrote that she wanted her vote back specifically after
Starting point is 00:16:23 seeing this video with Joe Biden. She's not the brightest. But again, another thing, I did a full video about this on We Are Change, but I talked about this because people are always expecting a hot war between China and the United States. Because we're already at a currency war, a trade war, and the next logical step is a hot war. But I think the war is already being fought, and it's fought with this larger context of generational warfare. It's here, in my opinion, and if you look at what is happening in our schools, the United States is losing. It's losing badly, not just with the suicide rates, not just with the increases of mental health crisis in our schools, not just with the increases
Starting point is 00:17:02 of depression, but even with masculinity. You see China actively trying to make their boys more masculine. In the United States, we have a lot of universities, a lot of schools talking about how masculinity is, of course, toxic. And Joe Biden just even got rid of a directive that ends transparency of the Chinese government with their ties to American universities. You guys ever play the video game Civilization? Yeah. I played the original. Me original me too civilization 2 is my favorite it was awesome but but i have i think what are we on six now yep one of the ways you can win is called a cultural victory yeah it's where you generate culture that spreads across the planet and seeps into all the other nations
Starting point is 00:17:40 and obviously you know life imitates art art imitates life and all that stuff blue jeans and rock and roll baby in the game civilization you can win the game by having your culture dominate the world it doesn't matter if you can control the government of these countries because your culture the ideas that spread essentially dictate the behaviors of the individuals another thing that happens in the game is that if you have cities that are surrounding other opponent you know other countries cities and your culture is just you're mass producing it eventually those cities request to join your nation or you can lose your city i bring that up because it is it's just it's just uh you know art imitates life life imitates art the culture war man right now in the united
Starting point is 00:18:20 states we have the nba praising china defending china this was a big scandal we have the NBA praising China, defending China. This was a big scandal. We have NBA banning free Hong Kong jerseys, suckling the teat of China, not the United States. In the United States, we believe in free speech. We support the right of the people in Hong Kong to protest. Why would this massive multinational corporation, now surprising, you know, it's funny the NBA has become that. Why would they side with China over us? Because we already lost. That's it. China even released statements supporting Black Lives Matter protests in the United States. Joe Biden, one of the first things he also did was sign an executive order banning the term China virus as soon as he came into office.
Starting point is 00:19:03 But, of course, he keeps talking about the UK variant for some reason and doesn't really understand the larger kind of context surrounding that. But, you know, we have to understand Joe Joe Biden also made a statement a couple years ago, we knew this was coming. Everyone saw this coming. I mean, anyone paying attention saw the writing on the wall. A few years ago, Joe Biden said that a rising China is a positive development. He put in a lot of people in his State Department that also believe in a similar idea that China rising on the world stage helping out the global economy is going to is going to be good for everyone's pockets book pocketbooks not just theirs and exactly and and exactly the people that they serve since joe biden is a career politician that is known for always selling out the people all right i got two things to say about china
Starting point is 00:19:39 you mentioned the word masculinity i can't let that go so i'm gonna chime in on i'm gonna chime in on that but the first thing i'm gonna say is that the saddest most disgusting part of this whole thing about china is how are they financing the belt and road how are they financing all multinational corporations no where did they get the money dude yeah special interest no u.s dollars from us dummies from all of us buying money buying things from china and sending them u.s dollars they are mercantilist. They have stockpiled U.S. dollars and U.S. assets. And now they're using them to buy up hard assets. So, guys, we have traded ports, airports, you know, transportation hubs, infrastructure for cheap Chinese televisions.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Now, the second thing I want to say is if China is advocating masculinity for its men. They know masculinity is a Lindy value. Masculine people build, create, protect, provide, and instruct. That sounds like a winning combination for civilization. In America, what do we do? The American Psychological Association deems masculinity toxic, risk-taking, competitiveness, aggression, needs to be medicated and therapeutically removed from children. We have a formal demasculinization policy in America to make us weak, to make us less builders, less of creators, less of protectors, less of providers, less of creators less of protectors less of providers less of instructors whereas china knows that that's where the money is and that's where the power is and so they're
Starting point is 00:21:10 advocating it this is a new twist and i was not aware and it's been in the works for a while especially if you look at the testosterone rates and the fertility rates in the west especially in the united states that are absolutely dropping testosterone rate group testosterone levels are down fertility and sperm rates are you know sperm counts are down and i got we got railed for this last time i talked about grip strength on this show yeah some guy some guy made a video and just was mocking us the whole time it was like he got like 20 000 views on it was funny all about grip strength yes group grip strength is down why is that important because it is a factor is a data point that shows that men are weak.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Apparently hanging from tree branches will help. It does, but we don't do that anymore because we keep our boys locked up inside, medicated, restricted, and we tell them that competitiveness and aggression and winning, winning is bad. Everybody gets a medal. What's this company you mentioned that has said the masculinity is toxic what's the company no the american psychological association though the largest mental health professional association in america believes that masculinity is toxic and must be treated oh that's gross it's disgusting it's everywhere and by the way last bit of the rant it is at the heart of the feminist argument, right? All societies have been patriarchal. All patriarchal societies are
Starting point is 00:22:30 oppressive. Where does this patriarchal power come from? Men. What fuels that? Masculinity, masculine energy. How do we end oppression? How do we end patriarchies? We got to eliminate masculine energy. And that is why to be masculine today is to be a pariah is to be a political dissident and if you believe in this come check us out liminal order very cool let's jump to this story because it's in a similar vein this is from the new york post charges against central park karen amy cooper dismissed and you may be wondering to yourself what does this story have to do with masculinity and china and all that everything actually this is a story of the woman in central park where she had her dog not on a leash.
Starting point is 00:23:07 And this other guy whose name was Chris Cooper, strange, they're not related, different names. And he was basically saying, put your dog on a leash. She said no. He tried offering the dog treats. She wigged out, started screaming, saying, you're threatening me, called the police. And she got arrested and charged with filing a false police report. In order to get the charges dismissed, as the New York Post reports, she underwent a psychoeducation at the critical, what is it, the critical theory center or something like that, where they focused on equity. They say Christian, who is in no relation to Amy,
Starting point is 00:23:37 was tying the woman to a leash or dog. Quote, psychoeducation about racial equity is woven into each therapy session to prompt understanding and reflection. Lizzie, Lizzie Orban told the judge of Amy Cooper's time with the critical therapy center in Manhattan. Miss Cooper's therapist reported that she was it was a moving experience and that Miss Cooper learned a lot in their sessions together. As if she would speak, said no. They go on to basically explain this is about racial equity training, that instead of going to jail, she was given the chance to go to the critical therapy center, the critical therapy center to undergo therapy sessions, individualized psycho education. They called it in China. They enforce their ideology, which is China above all else.
Starting point is 00:24:23 They will destroy you. They will weld your doors shut. They will kidnap you in the middle of the night and they will beat you unless you are 100% for China. China is trying to make, as Luke mentioned, their men more masculine. In the US, we have similar things. They're now telling people to go to reeducation centers instead of jail, but they're beating you down. They're telling you to hate America. They're telling young men to not be masculine and not be strong. It's flowing in one direction, a direction that ultimately results in China taking over the world stage, becoming the ultimate superpower. And my question to you is this. Would you like to live under Chinese rules? No, of course not.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Of course not. I love that's the direction things are going. When the NBA when the NBA comes out and you have these stars being like, hey, man, don't rag on China. They pay me a lot of money in the pocket of the Communist Party. That means that you, your kids, your family. But you know what? Here's the other thing that's happening. As you mentioned, fertility rates are down. People don't have kids to worry about, and they're not going to worry about it.
Starting point is 00:25:20 In America, I think we are being exploited and extracted. I think the Chinese Communist Party knew Thucydides' trap was predicting a hot war. So they said, how can we make it so that people won't fight a war? Well, if they don't have kids, they won't care to fight. This is really interesting. Kissinger developed this concept of limited war after World War II in the 60s or something. And basically, they wanted to avoid a hot war, a total war in his words. So they've started making proxy wars.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Vietnam was a proxy war. It was a limited war. Iraq, Afghanistan, limited wars. They don't want a total war with China. So now it seems like they don't even want an armed war with China. They just want to make it a cultural war. No, China doesn't want an armed war with us. They're beating us in a fourth-generation war right now.
Starting point is 00:26:04 I think even the global banking industry that's cartelling this arms race doesn't want a hot war. So just citing the San Diego paper that came out, fourth involved insurgent groups. Fifth involves psychological warfare explicitly. Okay, fine. Fourth and fifth together. But not only that, they have dumped a bunch of fentanyl in our country. And designer drugs. It's more than that.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Where are these kids up in Massachusetts getting their drugs for their raves? They go online and they order it and it's made in China. We used to get ours from Holland. It was much more fun back then. But China is polluting our country with drugs. They're polluting our universities with this communist Marxist
Starting point is 00:26:44 ideology. They're helping advance this agenda of weakening our men. They're taking over transportation and infrastructure hubs all around the world. They have co-opted the state sport of Indiana, basketball. If we don't even control the highest expression of an American homegrown sport like basketball anymore, I know it seems kind of flimsy if you think about it or just sort of not really related, but it is.
Starting point is 00:27:11 What could be more related than that? They've captured an American institution. Well, another thing to really think about here as China's building power grids all over the world, ours is failing. As we're spending trillions of dollars on wasteful wars like afghanistan china's not doing that they're building bases and building relationships with a whole bunch of countries in the middle east as they're becoming the number one trading partner with countries like iran that they're trading oil for military gear for and and when you see this kind of presence when
Starting point is 00:27:38 you see this kind of prominence you really have to start asking yourself what is the united states doing well they're doing they're doing a 9-11 style commission surrounding the insurrection, which is, again, another waste of time. Nothing about helping the people, increasing our wealth, increasing our health, increasing our existence on this planet. Only more stuff that, of course, divide and conquers us. And what's Biden's number one policy right now? Taking away firearms, disarming people, making them defenseless, as he's going to go after the second amendment soon it's it's listen listen it's all just an indication of the collapse i mentioned this the other episode there's a funny article from npr says d uh national guard
Starting point is 00:28:15 will remain in dc until the fall the fall the fall is the season or the fall what we're emphasizing here and luke you you mentioned it just now, is a great example. Our institutions are not only failing us, but they're counterproductive in our lives anymore. Institutions were meant to give you resources, information, health, meaning, right? They give you none of that now. All of our institutions have been co-opted and captured. And if you listen to what the institutions tell you, if you listen to conventional wisdom, where are you going to end up? Well, let's see. Nutritional pyramid. Oh, I'm going to be fat. Oh, go to college and borrow a bunch of money. Oh, I'm going to be in debt. Oh, get a job. And
Starting point is 00:28:58 now I'm chained to my desk. If you listen to our institutions, if you just listen to what they tell you to do, it is a fact. You will end up fat, sick, chained to a desk, and in debt for the rest of your life. With three masks on. Right. With three masks on while you're alone in your own Chinese manufactured car. Undergoing a critical therapy session to correct your bad behaviors because you dared call the police on something. And taking now three rushed experimental jabs as now Bill Gates, who also praised China for their response to COVID,
Starting point is 00:29:32 just came out recently, also today, and now is saying that people need three shots of the coronavirus vaccine today. I can't help but think of utopia where the virus wasn't the real goal. It was getting everybody the vaccine to mark them for something else. Well, are you talking about the original Utopia or the new one?
Starting point is 00:29:47 I'm talking about the original. I don't waste my time with that. Well, the new one was they canceled it because it was freaking people out. Because the vaccine was sterilizing people. That was the... Spoiler alert, I guess. Spoiler alert. That's the original one as well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Oh, okay. So in the new show, they canceled it, I guess, because they they were like a lot of people were thinking that you know there's just some parallels here listen i think you know we have a right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment you commit a crime you pay a fine you go to jail right what what this story is of this woman this karen and the therapy session this is they mentioned in the story that they've already been doing with other people it's been happening they're giving you an ultimatum cruel and unusual punishment or jail well because jail has become this like because it's awful people are like give me the re-education treatment because i'll just do the
Starting point is 00:30:41 diversity training right bro people went to vietnam instead of go to jail this is an offer that has been made by judges for all eternity you can go do this terrible thing but in this case it was go serve your country in vietnam right it's a little bit different they always give people alternatives to go to jail i think generally speaking we really don't want people to go to jail generally speaking i'm just saying this is the worst thing this is the critical theory this is terrible yeah yeah no's like, go have your brain washing. Yeah, seriously. It's horrible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:07 I'm looking on Twitter. Critical therapy center? I'm looking on Twitter right now, and people are wanting blood for Amy Cooper. They're like, I'm pissed. This is not enough. This is white privilege. How dare she? The New York Times, the mainstream media, CNN are all writing articles about this saying,
Starting point is 00:31:21 this is not right. She should face punishment. And I'm like, if I remember this this correctly this was all a big misunderstanding you should never call the cops uh especially on a bird watcher but i do believe correct me if i'm wrong that the situation occurred because the bird watcher said i'm going to do something you don't like she freaked out and tried giving the dog something she didn't know what was going on hold on a second if you guys some of my followers remember, when Corona hit, I took my kids, our weights,
Starting point is 00:31:49 we went out in the front yard. Oh, yeah. We lifted weights in my front yard, and my neighbor called the police on me, not just once, not just twice, but three times. Okay? And now you're telling me that calling the police on somebody is a crime if the person is not committing a crime?
Starting point is 00:32:06 Should my neighbor, my neighbor needs to go to critical therapy rehabilitation now? Jack, I think you're right. She needs to learn why she was being racist. She was black and I'm white. So I'm not sure that that's. Was this guy, this bird watcher, an African black? I don't even like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:21 So he was a different race. We didn't even mention this. Well, he made a comic book about this. And it's not a different race. The human race is one race. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he was a different race. We didn't even mention this part. Well, he made a comic book about this. And it's not a different race. The human race is one race. He tried feeding her dog. He tried coaxing her dog away from her. She freaked out.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Oh, so he was trying to get back at her for not having her on his leash. Well, he said he carried treats on purpose in the event he found someone doing this. So he was a Karen, too. But apparently he refused to participate in the trials because he said the woman has already been through enough. She doesn't need punishment. That's respectable. Yeah, it was a dumb park argument that became some stupid culture war moment. But I don't care about that.
Starting point is 00:32:53 I don't care about the guy. I don't care about the dog. I care about the fact that a judge said, go to a reeducation center to learn about equity. Because of the race issue. If he was a white dude, they wouldn't have said that. It wouldn't have been on the table. No, I think they still would have. Isn't it a racial? It would become a gender issue. If it was a white dude, they wouldn't have said that. It wouldn't have been on the table. No, I think they still would have. Isn't it a racial?
Starting point is 00:33:06 It would become a gender issue. If it was a white woman, maybe they wouldn't have. No, it's worse than that. It's worse than that. Critical race theory is now the baseline, right? So anything can be addressed
Starting point is 00:33:18 by critical race theory. That's so bad. Any conflict that you have, any perception you have of other people, something bad that you did, no matter what, if it's gender, race, whatever, abled, bodied, who knows what related. Critical Race Theory has captured all of our institutions.
Starting point is 00:33:32 You can see it even in biology, even in physics. Even James Lindsay likes to point out, even in math. So of course it's in therapy as well. It's sad because if they remade Monopoly, it would be like a chance card you could get. Get out of jail free card, but it would be like play the race card. We should remake Monopoly. Yeah. Not the same way.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Like a racial justice Monopoly. No, no. Just like an updated kind of similar game. Sure. The bank never runs out of money. Well, they actually say that in the rules. You know, Monopoly was made to be anti-capitalist oh i didn't know that why the original the original monopoly was created by this woman and she wanted to create a game where people would be really annoyed by what was
Starting point is 00:34:14 happening where the rich get richer and then take everything that's how it works and that's why people flip the monopoly that's happened to me before well so then i guess uh who was it hasbro or something or whatever milton bradley i guess uh who was it hasbro or something or whatever milton bradley i don't know yeah some company bought it or or i think that i don't think they bought i think they stole it from her like they just made their own version and it's based on atlantic city so the game was literally supposed to disparage capitalism i tell you this is why nobody wants to play monopoly because it always breaks down to someone having power and just oppressing the other players and they're're like, okay. You got to get the orange properties.
Starting point is 00:34:45 There's something about rolling into that like 17, 18, 19. The red properties. I don't know, man. I think the odds are you're going to get like a 14 through 16 or a 16 through 19 on the dice. Monopoly is solved. So it's a solved game, meaning you can win so long as you do these things every time. And it's been a long time since I've been through the theory of monopoly, but it's buy all the red properties and never buy hotels, but buy as many houses as possible.
Starting point is 00:35:11 You want three houses on each property because that's when it scales up. But then no one can buy houses. And if they can't buy houses, they can't buy hotels. Oh, good point. And then the red properties are statistically the most likely to get landed on because of the probabilities of the dice roll. I always liked orange because the houses were only 100 bucks each, whereas the red is where it scales up to 150. Anyway, not to get landed on because of the probabilities of the dice roll. I always liked orange because the houses were only 100 bucks each, whereas the red is where it scales up to 150.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Anyway, not to get distracted from game theory. Hey, a couple things I wanted to mention. We mentioned the coronavirus. This is a little off topic, but I watched this Project Veritas Fauci interview with Mark Zuckerberg. Did you guys get to watch the video? Some of it. Dude, Fauci's,
Starting point is 00:35:46 I don't know if he's just too old or what, but this is an exact quote from Fauci. Zuck was asking him about the vaccine and if it affects the DNA. And he was like, no. Fauci's response was, DNA is inherent in your own nucleus cell. He said that, that phrase, DNA is inherent in your own nucleus cell.
Starting point is 00:36:02 This is Dr. Fauci, the preeminent virologist. What's the, what's... It doesn't make any sense. In your own nucleus cell. This is Dr. Fauci, the preeminent virologist. What's the, what's... It doesn't make any sense. In your own cell nucleus? I think that's what he meant to say. I don't think that matters. I know.
Starting point is 00:36:12 My bigger concern here is when... He's losing it, dude, and he's supposed to be like the guy talking about telling us what to do with this stuff. Right, right, right. But the bigger issue with all of that stuff
Starting point is 00:36:20 playing back into what we've been talking about is our economy is being destroyed. Who benefits? China. Oh, that oh our people are undergoing race therapy trainings demasculization and being told the country's bad benefits china did you um ever study the boxer rebellion a little bit it's i wouldn't say study but i've read about the end of the 1800s basically the chinese rose up and tried to push the british out of the country in this boxer rebellion i think it was in hong kong right yeah yeah um so the british had basically colonized eastern china and created an opium trade and were just massively this is the east india trading company i believe massive profiting they were they were selling drugs to opiates to the chinese and just destroying the
Starting point is 00:37:00 china through through the opium trade and then they they started hong kong i believe it's hong kong and um were basically a poised to take control of china like they did india they were gonna they were gonna make it a british colony so the british or the chinese eventually were like the the empress i think at the time was like no no hell no so they they rose up and they attacked and just pushed the brit all the way back to the coast, murdered all these British people, killed them, pushed them back to the island and got rid of it. And I think it seems like they're using that as justification to do that to us today. Not just justification, but an actual roadmap.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Opiates, dude. Opiates. They flooded our country. They think I've talked with Jack Posobiec about this a number of times. They think in timescales that we can't comprehend. Okay. And they remember that from the 1800s, like for real. And they had endured a century of shame.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Yeah. And now they want revenge for that. Opiates are nasty. I've taken them before, man. They are hardcore. Yeah. And I was just, my friend was like a recovering heroin addict and had um methadone and i was like yeah i'll try it you know i want to know i want to understand and man it it felt so good i i
Starting point is 00:38:12 not advocating no no i would never i mean it's dead it was devastatingly addictive the next day i asked him if i could have more and he said no yeah and he probably saved me from an opiate addiction it was so felt physically so good this is the thing we need to understand especially with the opioids this is a thing that exploited our system to the best of its abilities we're talking about individuals who were in car crashes had some pain doctors were bribed and they gave out this specific medicine that was akin to heroin people got addicted to it and what happened they had to go somewhere else when the doctors cut them off. And that's when they went into fentanyl. That's when they went into heroin. And I've even spent time in Mexico.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Well, this led them to the, you know, it was this escalation. Like you said, what was it? The opiates, you know, fentanyl, Percocet, all this stuff, ultimately leading to a more dramatic result that was detrimental to their lives. Voting for Donald Trump. Our medical system was literally... I'm kidding, but they did. Yes, that's it. This is the bigger point here. Our medical system was exploited by, whether you call it the pharma industrial complex
Starting point is 00:39:16 or if you believe there was a larger conspiracy, but people were told by their doctors, by the people who they were told to trust, take this pain pill. It's okay. They were over-prescribed it. Then they became addicted. Then they became hooked. And I had to go down to Mexico. I did this full video specifically highlighting a whole treatment center about people recovering from opioids in Mexico because they couldn't get the treatment in the United States to get off the hardcore drugs that they were put on by medical doctors in the United
Starting point is 00:39:42 States. So seeing Americans who just were average Americans that suffered car crashes to have to go through this huge pain really makes you wonder, institutionally, what's happening? And as you mentioned, Jack, every layer of our institutions screw you over and benefit off of your suffering. And anything that goes against the institutions, anything that goes against the establishment gets cut now on social media. It gets attacked by mainstream media.
Starting point is 00:40:08 And they want to toe the line, keep the line, making you suffer. Forget institutions. Build networks. Did you know that China underground labs are developing new potent opiates to send to the United States? I mean, it only took me two seconds to Google search this. It's from 2017. Underground labs in China are devising potent new opiates faster than authorities can respond. And they talk about people in the United States who are catching this, finding the stuff, taking it, getting sick, ODing, dying.
Starting point is 00:40:34 And it's being manufactured, of course, in China. This is like legit a roadmap. This is the opium wars. This is warfare. They are poisoning us. And it is through American gluttony that it's happening. And so I've said this before. I think Joe Biden and the Democratic establishment and, of course, the Republicans are just extracting as much as they can before the ship sinks.
Starting point is 00:40:57 They're the people in the Titanic running around, grabbing as much of the silverware as they can before they jump onto a life raft. Joe Biden, you think, is too? Of course he is. He just defended the concentration camps. Yes. Tony Bobulinski, a family confidant for the Biden, said he was crooked and corrupted by China. They apparently got a, what was it, a $5 million interest-free loan to Hunter Biden after Joe flew his son on government property for a private deal.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Why was the vice president using government property to fly his son out for a private deal for his family? Crooked. And now he's defending internment camps? Come on, man. Two plus two equals four. I mean, imagine being a Uyghur. Imagine being in Taiwan right now. You'd be terrified of what's going on right now.
Starting point is 00:41:42 They are. They're protesting in support of Donald Trump. Yeah. Sorry, Ian. Go ahead. You said interest-free loan. Does that mean they never have to pay it back? Forgivable. Interest-free forgivable loan. That was what was reported. Well, you know, call it what you want.
Starting point is 00:41:54 It's a bribe. His son was bribed by the Chinese. His son? His son? Apparently his family. Who brought his son there? Who flew him on Air Force Two? And allowing his son to get bribed? That's crazy. No, let's be real. We know who the big guy is we know who the big guy was in those emails and don't take it from me take it from family confidant tony bobulinski who said that's joe
Starting point is 00:42:15 biden he was the one benefiting from this why is there an active investigation of hunter and and was it jimmy jim's jim biden his brother. Why is it that Politico reported around the time that Joe Biden was put in charge of overseeing military operations in Iraq, his brother got a bunch of contracts to build there, making millions of dollars? It's great, isn't it? That's called Biden Inc., according to Politico. But nowadays, it's just conspiracy theory i guess then joe biden goes in a town hall and says look i'm not going to criticize literal concentration camps for religious minorities that's joe but it's not conspiracy theory it's evidence-based theory yeah he's like i have to keep up appearances i gotta reflect the norms of my country so i'm gonna i'm gonna say it to him but we both know i'm cool with it this is why i thought
Starting point is 00:43:05 it was so dumb tucker did the whole joke what he did the joe and jill biden love thing being a pr stunt or something focus do you see that tucker did a segment talking about yes and he was talking about how the mainstream media was suckling up to him saying that they're gonna buy him donuts and and share cookies and have coffee and joe biden walked over and gave his coffee to one of the reporters and the reporters like oh my gosh i'm not wearing a mask i'm gonna get in trouble oh no and she's like okay i'll take your coffee yeah we're gonna have donuts later and again i think tucker brought up an interesting point because when you look at the sycophantic love affair that the mainstream media has with joe biden when you compare it to what they did with trump it's a complete 180 we also had abc news and newsweek literally unironically put out two full page articles about yes joe biden
Starting point is 00:43:52 playing mario kart with his family that's it that was the whole article so nothing else are we nothing else are we allowed to point out that uh you know, people are dying of COVID while Joe Biden plays video games. Exactly. We should. 27, 9, 11 days in a nuclear cell. That's what the mainstream media did. They were like, Donald Trump's playing golf as hundreds of thousands of people are dying from COVID-19. Meanwhile, they're like, look how great and cute Biden is playing video games.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Listen, listen. It's one thing to criticize the media for being biased. But can we criticize them for funding terror? Ooh. But can we criticize them for funding terror? In a story from Deseret, Utah activist in Capitol Riot sold his video to CNN and NBC for $35,000 each. This guy is charged with storming the Capitol, but he's a leftist. So CNN gave him $35,000, providing material support to a guy who runs a group or who started a group called Insurgents USA and was a frequent activist attending BLM and Antifa protests and then later denied being involved at all. Sorry, bro. But what I find funny is you can be you can be moderately liberal individual. You go as a journalist, you go and interview, say the proud
Starting point is 00:45:00 boys. And then the media says that proves you're far right. You can actually start a leftist insurgent organization, go to BLM rallies, go to Antifa rallies. And then as soon as they report on the negative things you did, you say, oh, actually, I'm not involved. They go, oh, okay, we'll take your word for it. There you go. But more to the point, CNN claimed over and over and over again, what happened, there was a terror attack in the Capitol. Yet they were the ones immediately after it happened who provided $35,000 to one of these guys. Who was cheering it on during one of the most scariest moments as a woman got shot in the whole melee that he was a part of creating. And he was screaming like, she's dead, she's dead. And $35,000.
Starting point is 00:45:42 I mean, I covered a lot of crazy protest footage and i have some of the most wildest footage i had news organizations come to me try to offer my stuff 35 000 is an absurd number you know what the video do you know what he sold yeah the shooting video yeah it was the video of the woman who lost her life so he had the exclusive footage and he got 70 000 for it there's got to be some kind of criminal statute for this, right? This was evidence obtained in the commission of a crime. This was an individual who was breaking the law and filming himself breaking the law. And CNN rushed out full speed not only to put the guy on air.
Starting point is 00:46:16 They put him on air and claimed he was an activist. They bought the footage from him. Yeah, I think usually if criminals are profitable, you just kind of waive the crime. How much did they pay Muhammad Atta for his in-flight footage on 9-11? I'm joking. But they might have. They would have done that probably. They would have paid for that.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Don't you think? I don't think so. I think the problem is that politics flows one direction. That even though this guy is being charged with several crimes, and he recently got new charges added, the news outlets don't care about you or me or anyone who's listening to this show they don't care they know who their audience is and they're they're feeding the beast it's power man operation paperclip they took a bunch of nazi scientists that were doing what we would have considered illegal you know funding the enemy we literally considered it illegal and then we just
Starting point is 00:47:02 waived their crimes and then made them american citizens and paid them a bunch of money because we liked what they were doing. And we all know what that resulted in. You know, that mad scientist guy puts his brain in the computer and then takes over S.H.I.E.L.D. and then Hydra, you know. Fallout, New Vegas. No, that's the Winter Soldier Captain America. It makes me want to just think for a second. Trump, he said the quiet part out loud when he talked about us doing bad things, right? Biden just admits that there is no universal liberalism.
Starting point is 00:47:35 There is no universal human rights. There's only moral relativism. There's only profit power and the agenda of those who have it. Are we just finally acknowledging that maybe this whole American story that we built up, this whole myth about us being the good guys and doing the right thing all the time, it's just a bunch of crap?
Starting point is 00:47:52 It sounds like it. But we've always known that. Like, this is the country where we learn history as written by the victors. This is the country where you are allowed to burn the American flag,
Starting point is 00:48:02 for better or for worse. Even back in the day when it was way more controversial and people would try and cancel you over it, you could still do it. You can't do that in China in any capacity. They'll just lock you in your home, weld your door shut, and then you die. So, look, there's that famous sketch where the two guys, was it Hamish and Andy, I think? I'm not sure. And they're dressed like Nazis and their symbol is
Starting point is 00:48:25 the skull and crossbones. And the guy's like, are we the baddies? We have a skull and crossbones. They were. America does bad things. But if you believe in the world of superheroes who are perfect and can do no wrong, well, then I got a comic book to sell you because that's just not the real world. But good guys have flaws. The United States has serious flaws. But I think it's true that we are and have been the good guys. And there have been a lot of really messed up things America has done.
Starting point is 00:48:51 And America has been exploited by a lot of special interests and evil people. But for the most part, we have been, this is one of the best countries to have ever existed, if not the best, in terms of civil rights for all people. The rights, I'll tell you something real crazy, man. I have to be careful when I go to certain countries. People in this country, they think
Starting point is 00:49:09 it's funny when I mentioned that I'm mixed race, but they don't understand that that's very dangerous in a lot of countries in the world. The views held about being mixed are extremely ethnocentric. And it's like, that's a bad thing. It's a bad thing. I went to Korea, for instance, and I had a lot of people say, oh, man, wow. Yeah, no, you shouldn't like that's that's like not OK. You know what I mean? This country is amazing. We've not always been perfect, but we have moved towards bettering everything as we've gone, you know, moved forward. And even today, it's it's it's this country has done so well to protect rights that we actually have a problem of people exploiting our desire to do good our goodwill is being exploited by
Starting point is 00:49:51 critical race theorists who are trying to destroy this country and who hate it it seems like the age of decadence like we're all this infighting like it makes me think of the romans at the end of the roman empire where and has there ever been an empire that wasn't ultimately invaded by militant conquerors and then transfixed you know changed has there ever been one has there ever been an empire that wasn't ultimately invaded by militant conquerors and then transfixed, you know, changed? Has there ever been one? Has there ever been an empire that peacefully became a new country? 250 years. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Well, I don't know about peacefully, but collapse happens. Yeah, you see their collapse and violent takeover. That's like the history of all countries and empires. That's just the history of power, dude. Yeah. So is that what we're destined for, is a Chinese military takeover of this country fifth gen well yes but not military yes fifth generational warfare i'm talking about military take might have a violent it doesn't need to be military that's it doesn't have to be violent it doesn't have to be bullets it doesn't
Starting point is 00:50:37 have to be bombs it's information it's data data is the new oil used out of their house in the middle of the night the chinese no censored censored taken offline making sure you can't use banks online that's that's one way that they could do it sending misdemeanor offenders for calling the cops by accident on the wrong guy to re-education camps is a sign of victory now i'm glad we sort of took the bait here on my sort of socratic asking this question about is america everything remember it to be. I think what we're really observing here is that it is one thing to be inside and to be an American in America is another thing to be on the outside and not be an American vis-a-vis American power in the world. Right. And the way that we conduct ourselves overseas and the way that we try to push our universal liberalism, moral rights or human human rights on everybody else over their objections,
Starting point is 00:51:26 right? And at the same time, it's like preserving all of our stuff at home and saying this can't be corrupted in any way. It presents a hypocrisy that people resent us around the world. There's no question about that. But yo, do I want to live anywhere else where I'm actually not the king? No. The only place I want to live anywhere else other than here is someplace where I'm actually the sovereign. That's my next project. Well, the thing that makes America special is the First and Second Amendment, something that is also in grave danger from being taken away from us in one way or another. Digitally online, the information communication highways are taken over by special interests, and they're limiting people's speech. The Second Amendment also is in grave danger as well. There's already a lot of limitations. But let's be honest here, comparatively around the world, not a lot of people have the First and Second Amendment.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Now, as you said, Jack, the military-industrial complex has hijacked American foreign policy, and the amount of human suffering it has caused all around the world, oh boy, does there need to be a realization to this and an understanding of this because the consequences are far greater than what a lot of naive people in the United States could even understand. So you have to understand, you have to take these two, nothing's perfect. We only could strive to be better by understanding it and having an honest discussion about it, which we're trying to do here. We have to preserve, I'm sorry to interrupt your thoughts. I hadn't even spoken yet. I mean mean it's like you got a neighbor next door who's like at home everything's beautiful
Starting point is 00:52:49 in their house and all the kids are successful and they got all the money in the world and it's totally free and and loving and kind inside their house and then they're the biggest jerks you ever met in your neighborhood and they're killing everybody who doesn't think the way that they do that is a dichotomy that is really hard to square. That is a contradiction. Our actions collectively as a nation represented on the world stage don't necessarily jive up with our theories and our ideas of who we are at home. protect the constitution because there could come a day when the u.s government is so hands-off and disregarded of the constitution that they allow extradition of american citizens to china for well what crap talk in the chinese government they've already done is allow the constitution to be subordinated to terms of service right corporate terms of service now supersede the
Starting point is 00:53:41 constitution yeah i got a question though uh in chicago for the longest time growing up you couldn't have guns like basically period you just couldn't have them and then there was some big supreme court ruling and then a bunch of these you know chicago democrats were freaking out because supreme court was like yo you can't ban people from having guns so all of a sudden businesses started putting signs all over their door you know all over the stickers on their doors no weapons allowed in this business no one's allowed in this business so now you can have a weapon, but if you're walking around with it, you're not going to be able to go into any buildings. Not legally,
Starting point is 00:54:11 I guess they could kick you out. I'm curious about like private roads. Could someone who owns a toll road, private road, say you can't bring weapons on this road? We'll kick you off. We'll ban you from using it. Just real quick. The reason I bring this up is if we're moving in a direction where, you know, our speech is now subjected to terms of service, and we don't use the public space anymore, will there eventually be a time when other elements that are protected by the Constitution go private, and then we no longer have those rights, courts, policing, etc? Well, it's happening right now with the way that we talk to each other. Free speech in the same way. The terms of service are superseding the Constitution. They're abridging your rights, First Amendment rights. And the government seems very happy to this censorship that is taking place. These new terms of service that supersede the constitution.
Starting point is 00:55:06 They're actually getting the work done that they wish that they could accomplish through the government. They are silencing their political opposition. They silenced the most powerful man in the world. The president American of the United States, they banned him while he was in office, which is just what the left wished could happen. So the people who are in power, who are guardians and defenders, who have taken oaths to defend the Constitution,
Starting point is 00:55:36 gleefully allow these corporations to run amok and establish terms of service which supersede the Constitution. Let's talk about what happens when... Let me say this real quick. This is like a visceral misnomer of human rights. To allow a corporation to violate your rights because you don't want to violate their rights is like saying you're going to allow the Chinese government to take you
Starting point is 00:56:00 and fly you to China to put you in a Chinese prison because you're not going to violate their right to do that. We have a government to protect our rights. That's why it's in place. My rights, your rights, our rights. Not corporate rights. Those aren't even people. That's not what the Supreme Court said.
Starting point is 00:56:17 So here's what happens when you end up with government versus out of control tech from CNBC. Facebook will ban Australian users from sharing or viewing news or viewing news. I want to show you this tweet we got from Ian Miles Chong. He says Rip Quillette. For those that aren't familiar, Quillette is a magazine based in Australia, and they're fairly anti woke. They oppose critical race theory for the most part, but they do offer up just kind of a free thinking space for people to debate ideas. Well, them, like many other news publications, have had all of their pages essentially stripped. Why? What's going on right now with news around the world, there's a big argument over whether
Starting point is 00:57:01 or not Google and Facebook have destroyed news. So Google, for instance, if I write a news article and then there's a bunch of text, Jack Murphy shut up Tim Pool's house, did a backflip, everyone cheered. Double. I saw that. It was a double backflip, right. So I'm writing this article because I want you to come to my website and I want you to read this and in turn get exposed to advertisements for which I make money. Google scrapes all of that
Starting point is 00:57:25 text and just publishes it on Google. So some people just read Google News, don't go to the site. The site doesn't get the money, but still did the work. It's resulted in news organizations going after Google, smearing them, smearing YouTube and trying to essentially destroy Google's business model because, well, it's taking from them. I can understand the problem of what Google is doing, stripping, you know, scraping the text and then republishing it, essentially. But in this, a law was passed basically saying you can't do this. You've got to share the revenue. Facebook said, no, we ain't going to do that. We're just going to ban all news from Facebook. Do something about it. They are too powerful. Australian news is gone from Facebook. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:58:08 That is one of the biggest instances of censorship we have ever seen. Now, part of me wants to throw it back to good old Thomas Jefferson, a man who reads nothing is more educated than a man who reads the newspaper. And I don't know, it's an interesting experiment. We'll see what happens. But regardless, people have a right to share news if they want to. It is insane to me that Facebook can say, you're accusing us of costing these news organizations money and stealing from them. Okay, well, then no one gets to use the platform. So what? That's it. They take over the public town square. They take over the flow of news. And then when you dare say, we will not allow you to do this without pitching back in, they say, OK, then we will snap our fingers and destroy the system.
Starting point is 00:58:48 I'll tell you what this is. It's very simple. They slowly gave people opiates until they developed an addiction. And these people then abandoned the rest of their lives saying, OK, this makes me feel good. Now that Facebook has total control over the system and the network, they say, now we can take it away. What are you going to do about it? People used to get their news in other ways. Facebook made it easier.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Now that Facebook has a monopoly, they can simply say, we'll take it from you and cause panic. Exactly right. I'd like to dig a little bit deeper into that mechanism, though. It's not just simply that they made it easier. It's what Facebook did is they took all the advertisers, which used to support the local news, and they moved those advertisers to Facebook. So now all the advertisers are hooked on Facebook. And now the local news don't get any advertising dollars unless they run it through Facebook. So there's now literally no market for these local newspapers to find advertisers sufficient enough to support them. And we have laws against that.
Starting point is 00:59:52 War chest, using your war chest at negative prices in order to go out and capture markets, using your market power to kill entire industries and such like that. So that was the vector by which this all happened. And then you add to it the fact that social media is designed to literally hijack your brain. It's designed to literally change the chemicals and the reactions, your physiology in your brain. And as you said, literally make you addicted to pull it. You know that feeling?
Starting point is 01:00:22 I know y'all know it. When you pull down oh my god and there's just that moment where it spins for a second and you just you just don't know what's gonna come like 20 plus new notifications what's that plus and then and i'll just admit for somebody in my line of work where i make all my money online it's exclusively online every time i pull that thing down man could be money so listen maybe money. So listen, maybe it's a good thing. Maybe it's a good thing that people are now, it's kind of like going cold turkey. They wake up one day, they look at their Facebook feed, and they're refreshing, and there's no news anymore.
Starting point is 01:00:52 And they start getting the shakes, and they're like, what am I going to do? And now they're getting pulled out of the matrix hard. The algorithms were not healthy for people. So maybe in the end, it still is a good thing. I don't think so. Because the way you were laying it out makes a lot of sense that it still is a good thing i don't think so because the way you are the way you were laying it out makes a lot of sense that it's like a public highway it's become the public highway of the mind and now they're seizing your access to it it makes no sense well
Starting point is 01:01:14 they're basically green cars we were not gonna let green cars on this highway we don't like the way it looks shut the whole highway down we don't we don't we don't like that people are using the highway that way now it's a little bit different than that it's like you can still use the highway but when you pull off the rest stop, you can't get Sbarro anymore. You can just have no pizza. Well, no, they banned all news. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:01:31 It's gone. But the user. It could still be there. I almost said the customer. I think that's interchangeable. No, no, no. The user isn't the customer. The user isn't the customer.
Starting point is 01:01:43 The customer is the data. The people buying the data. They're the product. They're the product. The people buying the data. They're the product. They're the product. Those people are still on the highway. It's just when they go to that rest stop that's exclusively monopoly controlled by that highway, and all there is is usually a Starbucks, a Sbarro, and a Burger Chef, whatever that is anymore. They're all gone now.
Starting point is 01:02:00 So they pull off at the rest stop. There's nothing there. So now you're just hungry. Yeah, you have to use Facebook food only. And I guess a way to put it is we used to just stay on the highway and get our food from there and many people eventually forgot the restaurants they used to go to and now one day facebook says oh y'all y'all want to cut of so so they're these companies are using the the highway that we contribute to and it's caused damage to the rest of the economy
Starting point is 01:02:24 and so when we come in and say yo we've got to rectify to and it's caused damage to the rest of the economy and so when we come in and say yo we've got to rectify this because it's destroying things say we'll just take all your food away then what will you do about it i imagine this is costing facebook money this move that they've decided to oh yeah to ban all new so i'm i'm guessing that this is a gambit that they hope doesn't become permanent right this is this is a way of them being like your law is dumb. Watch how dumb it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:47 I don't think Facebook cares. Watch how much money we can afford to lose. Facebook has already said they want to get rid of politics. They want to derank political content. So they're like, good. I think they make so much money, they can afford to tell an entire government, an entire nation, F you. That's amazing, right?
Starting point is 01:03:02 You see, what happens when these companies become too powerful, look, there is a pro and a con, right? Government is not perfect. Government does a lot of really, really bad things. So you need private companies and competition to help make things work. And then you need governments to kind of referee. We can see the worst. You know, we can see really, really awful things come from governments. We've literally just been ragging on China's government for a long time australia's moves are not perfect the problem is corporate power is also when it's unchecked really it's what's the government means to control the mind govern meaning control mind meaning meant meaning mind and it's that's basically what is the mind control of the day sometimes we give our power to an institution that we've created through
Starting point is 01:03:44 paperwork like the u.s government sometimes our power to an institution that we've created through paperwork, like the U.S. government. Sometimes it's the dollar that people are obsessed with. Sometimes it becomes social networks that are guiding what you can see and can't see. And that is the government of the day, are these social networks. And money. It just depends on how zealous you are, I guess.
Starting point is 01:04:00 But these things are controlling our daily thoughts. They're allowing us access to what they want. It's crazy that Mark has that much control. We didn't elect them. It's not a us. Yes, we did. We all elected Mark in charge by using the GD product.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Yeah. This is the part that I can't get away from guys. We all used the product. Yeah. We, but we made it happen, but we're born into a system where it's prevalent so it's the kids that are three and four using it because they're friends it wasn't like i remember i remember when you couldn't get in but if you were in just a few different
Starting point is 01:04:39 universities and i went to georgetown and i was like waiting for them to add Georgetown to the list. And I was like, yes, and I was in. I wanted that-ish bad. Yeah, but it's become so prevalent now that people are inducted without. Our preferences led to this outcome. Yeah, our personal choices, which again, there's a lot of unfair market conditions that happen, especially with government intervention in these big social tech companies. But what Jack talks about, Ian, just like people vote for puppets, they're called politicians, people also vote with their dollars. They vote with their likes, they vote with their shares,
Starting point is 01:05:13 they vote with their attention. And what you give attention to, you grow. And we have a choice. That's why I've been saying, my email list, email list. James was talking about it yesterday. That's why you guys have your own website now with your own subscription feed this is this is what we all need to do we're realizing it so this experiment is going to be very exciting to see how it plays out because with what facebook saying pretty much you know f you to the entire government of australia this is going to have some interesting ramifications worldwide. And people who are wanting to see the news, I mean, already Facebook is, according to some estimates, in decline.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Already there's a lot of boomer people just complaining and nagging on there. Already the algorithm is just filled with a lot of just hateful, wasteful stuff. I barely use it anymore. I got fact-checked on it today. But it's not something i engage in but but in one thing that we're trying to to make people understand is because we're on it because we're participating it in it we're allowing it to be as prevalent and just like and just like my space and just like all these other big tech kind of social media platforms that came and went i do believe
Starting point is 01:06:21 there will be a day where facebook will come and will go soon. I agree. Maybe, like AOL. I agree that we are complicit and empowering the system by using it. But you also can make that argument about the U.S. government and taxes. Like, we're born into having a social security number. We didn't ask for it. But the system was created by someone that chose to create it and start to use it. Now it's become so prevalent that we're not asked if we want to have a social security number or if we want to pay taxes
Starting point is 01:06:49 we're just and you can't go anywhere and and it's starting to happen with social networking is these kids aren't asked do you want to have this be a through line to your friends it's just that's the way society is built right now are you kidding my kids don't give two you're a special genius about facebook unfortunately no on instagram they are then they're on facebook indeed yep although they both have limited screen time on facebook and my son only has a business account on instagram rather and this is you jack you're like a evolved dude and your kids are on instagram like it's a big it's in us it's not in us. It's not just choice. It's sometimes you'll be like,
Starting point is 01:07:29 hey, you need to use this messaging software for work. How do I log in? Will you log in through Facebook or Google? Huh? Oh, you got to use this financial service. Okay, I'm using this financial service. How do I log in through Facebook or Google? Dude, anything that makes your life easier on the internet, you should just
Starting point is 01:07:46 run away from. Turn around and run away. 100%. Make it harder. Unless you're paying for it. Exactly. I was trying to put Google Analytics on my website last night. I mean, they're good. It was a bit of a headache. I didn't get it finished, but yeah, they are good. That's the problem. They make good stuff. Google owns
Starting point is 01:08:02 the advertising machine. And what a lot of these companies didn't realize, before Google became the behemoth, they started planting seeds of where they wanted to be and what they wanted to control. They started buying things out. Then once advertising started shifting, Google found themselves in the perfect position. Now that advertising is getting away from terrestrial radio television and becoming more digital, Google owns it. Facebook owns a decent portion of it as well. I think it's like 47% Google and like 43% Facebook and then pockets of other networks in between. That's why there's actually a lot of options in order if you want to break them up. There's a lot of options. You break up the ad stuff from the search stuff. You break up the indexing from the searching.
Starting point is 01:08:46 There's a number of ways to break them up. You give people a bill of rights of privacy to make sure that their data doesn't get sold down the line to all these multinational corporations about every little aspect of your existence. That would be a nice beginning here. Hey, don't program when I take a crap. You know the craziest thing to me about the algorithmic feeds for ads is I only ever get ads for things I already bought. Right. No, for real. I'll go to Amazon and I'll be like, I need a spatula for a pie scraper or something.
Starting point is 01:09:15 And then I get ads all over the place. Do you eat pie scraper? And I'm like, I bought it already, dude. What are you doing? It's the stupidest thing ever. You may have a shorter time between let me investigate what I want to buy and purchase than most people, Tim, just throwing that out there. But I want to go back to this digital, digital,
Starting point is 01:09:31 you're laughing. I'm looking around. I want to go back to what you're talking about, the digital bill of rights. So John Robb, an amazing futurist, special forces guy, invented RSS, advised DOD and joint chiefs. This guy knows what he's talking about.
Starting point is 01:09:47 And his focus is on a digital bill of rights because he understands that we need to own our data. That's the first thing. That's sovereignty. Own your own data. Our five-year-old kids in elementary school are selling unknowingly, giving away their data by participating in education systems. I love this idea of a digital bill of rights. How do we get there? Just like collective bargaining.
Starting point is 01:10:13 I think people need to understand that they have all the power that they... Until social media companies abide by these certain rules, we're not going to be using them. And I think it is possible, but the odds are definitely against us. It's a David versus Goliath battle. But just as you said, we should have power about what data is sold on us. Just like
Starting point is 01:10:33 what we decide to give to them should be decided by us, and not a huge terms of services that's 20 pages long that you can't even read. So, again, impossible fight. They would censor the crap out of it. They would make sure it gets no traction. But I still think it's worth
Starting point is 01:10:50 fighting because you never know when David's going to have that lucky shot and knock down Goliath. I think the bigger problem is that the left is fervent, riotous, angry, and demanding. And those that are not aligned with the cult tend to be, I don't angry, and demanding. And those that are not aligned with the cult
Starting point is 01:11:05 tend to be, I don't know, cowardly. Yeah. Not, not, I say, I say tend to be because there's obviously people like, you know, us here, the people who watch the show who speak up, people like James O'Keefe, people like Jack who turned your, you know, his canceling into an advantage. But who's, who's going to get off Twitter? Like, who's who's gonna get off twitter like who's gonna be like i quit i harumph you know and then be like i refuse until they fix these things well the thing is i don't care the big tech companies are kind of also shooting themselves in the foot as well by by blocking all the really exciting people all the edgy people all the wild people all of them are gone off of all the big social media platforms whether you like them or
Starting point is 01:11:45 not uh they were pretty exciting they got a lot of attention a lot of them are gone so a lot of new apps are coming in this is why they have to go as far as to ban parlor of all things i mean that was an extreme that was a big move it was growing too fast exactly they told everyone make your own social media company people did and then what did they do in response to that it was a major step so so just like every fad things come and go i truly do believe twitter facebook google i mean they're trying to cement themselves as as powers that be forever but i think their time is limited because just like it came as fast and as quickly as it did it could go as well as fast as quickly it's asymmetrical war and i think it's obvious that you know uh
Starting point is 01:12:31 everybody knows a good guy's lost you know you look at you look at censorship getting worse not getting better you look at joe biden placating china it's getting worse not getting better you look at the the demonization and the vile, just disgusting things being said about Rush Limbaugh. It's just getting worse, not getting better. Conservatives didn't do that to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I'm not trying to compare the two like they're the same thing, but conservatives do not do this. Now, there's an exception that some people along with the right do say awful things. I've seen it. I called them out. But as Matt Walsh said, it's the exception, not the rule. On the left, it's the rule, not the exception. It's only getting worse. Antifa's still riding up in Portland. No one's stopping them. Just getting worse. So I mean,
Starting point is 01:13:13 forgive me if I'm not overly optimistic. There are some things I am optimistic about. Michael Malice believes that were, you know, these conversations and things like this shows that we're on a path towards actual victory. And maybe it's fair to say that getting worse means the night is always dark as before the dawn. And eventually they're going to implode under the weight of their own insanity and hypocrisy. And then regular people will finally say, I've had enough. I wonder when that moment will be, though, when people go to their windows, fling open the shades and say, I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take
Starting point is 01:13:45 it anymore. It takes a crisis. It takes trauma. It takes a serious personal traumatic experience in order to break people free of ego-invested mental models and narratives that they've adopted. Your mind is the battle space right now. Your mind is the battlefield. If you don't actively occupy your mind, defend it and fill it with the ideas of your choice. They will be, it will be filled by other hostile actors. We're all connected. We all have permeable barriers that might as well not even exist. Anybody can inject any old idea into your brain that they want, and they're taking control of your behavior through mind control. So it takes personal trauma to cause people to even reflect on whether or not their choice of mindset choice
Starting point is 01:14:34 was healthy for them. And then to go through an experience where their ego detached from this mindset, that is a real phenomenon that must take place. That's why I really do believe that there is a bigger agenda, whether it's the algorithm or the newsfeed, to keep you in this negative thought loop, to keep you afraid, to keep you hating each other, to keep pushing this kind of race-baiting, divide-and-conquer agenda. And it's not just about race. It's about your sex, your identity, your gender, your health, all these other ideas that they could find, that they could make you fight each other or hate each other over, they're exploiting to the fullest extent. And as you mentioned, Jack, your mind is like a muscle. And you get to choose whether you're going to be optimistic and positive or pessimistic and negative. And those choices are absolutely crucial. And when your perspective of the world is controlled by a few tech oligarchs, by a few billionaires, it's in their best interest to make you believe that all hope is lost.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Everything's very negative. Everything's very bad. And nothing ever good is going to come out of anything. Resistance is futile, as they said in those big Hollywood movies. Your technology and culture will be assimilated. Exactly. And in reality, they are a lot more fragile than we even know. This supports my theory of humility and why self-trauma is—imposing trauma on yourself is so important.
Starting point is 01:15:54 By humiliating yourself in front of people is similar to working out. If you don't create muscular trauma by working out, you will have trauma imposed on you from the outside because you will become so weak that you can't handle it. And it's the same way with your mind. One way to expand on that is if you don't, when you exercise your arm, right, you're damaging the proteins in the muscle and then your body replaces that, makes it stronger, makes it better. Depending on what you're doing, you're getting muscle memory. If you don't develop that and you become feeble and out of shape, the trauma could destroy you outright. So you need to harden yourself to prepare for when somebody might come and run
Starting point is 01:16:31 full speed and punch you in the gut. Jordan Peterson. What we're talking about. Is that what he says? No, that's not what he says. He says take a punch to the gut like Houdini? He totally says exactly that. What we're talking about here, the secret sauce in all of this is intentionality. Are you going to be passive? If you are going to be passive, you're dead. You're dead. You're sick. You're fat.
Starting point is 01:16:49 You're chained to a desk. And you believe in an ideology that wants you to commit suicide, basically. Isn't this the crazy thing, though, about the Great Reset, right? So one of the problems right now with this Great Reset stuff is that all the lockdown stuff we're seeing is making people horribly out of shape they're like blood levels are getting worse they're sort of decaying in their own homes but they're if the idea this is why i don't trust these people i think they're lying if the idea was truly to not own anything and be happy minimalism i actually am a fan of this i love the idea that we find happiness in just walking through the forest and maybe just
Starting point is 01:17:25 rolling up your sleeves and doing a good day's hard work. I'd love if that was the movement and the idea. That behavior would make you stronger. Instead, they're calling it the great reset, but then locking in your house so you can't get sunlight, you can't get proper exercise, and you wither away and become depressed, angry, and feeble. Yeah. Encourage you not to engage in behavior that aligns you to the spirit of the universe the spirit of the universe is to create is to build is to expand if you can align yourself with the energy of the universe you will find yourself in alignment with the universe it's part at peace i also find it devastating that people are getting censored off social media
Starting point is 01:18:03 with varying opinions because it's this traumatic conversation when you have two opposing views and the visceral tension that's created that that strengthens us against, you know,or mcgregor and he's fighting mike tyson and then facebook throws a bola a bolas into the ring and tangles up conor mcgregor's legs and he falls down and mike tyson starts hitting him and you're like he didn't really win you know it was facebook who threw the what was it called a bolas that was called those two bolo bolo i thought you were talking about bolos it's like two two like weights on a rope and then it wraps you ancient weapon yeah i'm i'm i'm actually trying to make it as silly as possible but no it's legit it's like two weights on a rope, and then it wraps around you. Ancient weapon, yeah. I'm actually trying to make it as silly as possible, but no, it's legit. It's like these two ideas have entered the ring, and they're fighting for the championship. And then someone's literally throwing weights to cripple one side so the ideas don't win.
Starting point is 01:18:56 Interesting. If your ideas need someone to basically cheat for you, they must not be good ideas. Or prevent the fight entirely, which is probably even worse than... Yeah, it's like they take Conor McGregor out, and then before he can even go in the ring, they're raising Mike Tyson's you know, he's won! I know they don't fight in the same discipline.
Starting point is 01:19:15 To continue the hippie dippy stuff that Jack was just talking about, because you are talking about a lot of hippie stuff. Intentionality. Intentionality. Universeality i may see it a little bit differently but i agree on the baseline of it your intentions i don't think that needs more of a conversation here because your intentions absolutely matter and we're living in a society that's quick hit dopamine hits get whatever you can get the likes get and people don't really
Starting point is 01:19:41 think about the long-term intentions what do you intend to be what do you intend to do people don't set goals people don't set directives people are not even in a mindset to take a step back and realize who do i want to be who do i want to represent they're caught in this cycle that the special elites want you to be in and then you're stuck being someone that you never even intended to be to from the very beginning. Things like meditation, things like gratitude, taking some time off, even just to sit back. Hey, hey, hey, hey, I called you out on it first. Taking some time to even just breathe deeply and not to think and let things come to you. No one does that. And I think the more we could do that, the better off we would be. I mean, I do it. I do it every time before I go on the show.
Starting point is 01:20:25 And it's incredibly important for me and my mental health to be able to literally take 10 minutes, at least 10 minutes, do a guided meditation on focus, on peace of mind, on clarity. And it really, really, really is key towards your intentions and your goals. What helps me a lot, I think, with starting my business and getting my work was playing rpg video games when i was a kid me too because you start you're level one you have this is more like nerd i guess you have no items you have no weapons and then you're given the wooden sword you know you have three hearts and a wooden sword well you've got to earn the next heart the game is difficult you can win some of these games what game was i playing i I was playing Immortals. What is that game? Phoenix Rising. It's a new game. It's a PS4, PS5. Awesome game. And I really enjoyed it because you can kind
Starting point is 01:21:12 of just go where you want to go. And whether you actually level your character up and get them the abilities they need, if you have the skill, you can actually defeat some pretty serious bosses. And it was like, I was fighting one boss and I'm like, why don't I just go level up? This is like taking forever. But it was fun, right? I grew up playing these video games, and so my approach often, when doing anything, was always, am I, like, what's the level up? What am I
Starting point is 01:21:34 acquiring? What do I have, and what am I going to gain? When you play these video games, you don't just start and then be like, okay, I want to be level 100 with the best items in the game. It just doesn't happen. You can't do it. You start, you get the wooden sword and three hearts. You want to get the level up sword. You got to get the five hearts first.
Starting point is 01:21:48 This is, and you know, NES, Legend of Zelda. You have to go through it. The other thing that helped me was skateboarding because you can't cheat. You can only prove to yourself you've accomplished it. If you want to lie to others, fine, but you don't get the dopamine. You don't get the accomplishment. So in everything I've done, I've not thought about, I want to be the CEO. I've thought about, I'm at level one. What's level two? What's the next step
Starting point is 01:22:10 I got to do? What's the first step in the journey of a thousand miles? What do I have to do? It's pointless to look at someone else and be like, I want what they have. Well, you don't know the path to get there. And even if you try to replicate everything they did, you'd end up somewhere else. Yeah, they are the path itself. We are the path we have taken. It's not the end. It's the journey. I think this conversation about intention is amazing because we were talking about good and evil and what that actually is.
Starting point is 01:22:35 And I think destruction isn't inherently evil. But if you intend evil through destruction or creation, then that's where evil comes from is your intentions. And same with good. Well, a lot of people don't intend to do bad. And a lot of people are caught up in systems and institutions that are flawed and corrupted. And they're a part of systems that they don't see a way out of, that they see it as a norm to screw over the other person, to hurt the other person. It's their identity.
Starting point is 01:23:03 And they can't lose sight of that because if they do, they would have an ego death. They can't even have that. But again, as far as with the intention stuff, you got to ask yourself, who do you want to be? What do you want to be represented by? What do you want your legacy to be? And these are questions no one asks themselves. Once a year, I always take some time, and I always write out my goals for a week, a month, a year, five year, 10 years down the line. I want to make sure that I'm on a path in my life and I update it every year where I'm going in a positive direction, always upgrading, always doing something that's keeping me focused on my mission and having this kind of energy within me that is happy and content
Starting point is 01:23:44 with me as a human being. I think you're right that people don't intend to do evil. No, they never do. But I think maybe a lack of good intention is evil. A lack of intention. A lack of intention is when evil will seep in from these outside sources that are creating your intention for you.
Starting point is 01:23:59 Is it evil to dance on the grave of people who die? Is it evil to post? It depends on why you're doing it. For internet points? Oh, yeah. For followers?
Starting point is 01:24:10 And so all of these people on social media who are mocking the pain and suffering of a family who just lost someone to cancer, is that not evil?
Starting point is 01:24:20 What good comes from doing that? Doing stuff for views? Doing things for views? For personal gain. For power. That's a good argument, man. There is no good reason to dump on the grave of a man who just lost his life. Well, if your family's starving and you need money and it's the quickest way to get the food, maybe.
Starting point is 01:24:35 But they're not starving. You want to know who I had? I think I had the best tweet about any of it was Marianne Williamson when it came to Rush Limbaugh. She said, right now, Rush Limbaugh is standing before God listening intently, something like that. And I said, that was an incredible, that was an amazing tweet. It was critical, but it was respectful. It was calm. It was reasoned. And let's be real. She said he's in heaven. It was very nice of her. She doesn't have to like the guy. And I understand a lot of people really despise the guy. But what she said, I thought was a nice way of saying, look, I'm critical of the guy, but you know, here's a calm, rational approach. Intentionality is everything. It's a superpower
Starting point is 01:25:09 right now. And I don't mean your intentions in the sense of like, oh, I intended to do that. But intentionality, like mindfully choosing your actions, your behaviors, connecting to your values and being strong enough to embody them and to live them out in your life today. The system that we live in with social media has hijacked your brain chemistry and encouraged you down negative behaviors, right? Trolling people, flame wars, yada, yada. We all know. What if there was a way to get a similar dopamine hit off of your electronics and communications,
Starting point is 01:25:40 but it resulted in positive energy? It resulted in building things, creating things, instructing people and providing and protecting other people. What if there was a network? I'm sorry, I got to do it, guys. What if there's, but the reason why I'm- What network? No, but the reason why I'm bringing it up, honestly, is because we just had this conversation
Starting point is 01:25:58 inside the liminal order the other day. We have transferred all this energy that guys were using on social media to do things that were relatively unproductive and possibly negative. And now they're getting the reward from this engagement. But with people that are self-reinforcing this positive energy, they're building things together. They're exploring things together. They're teaching each other things.
Starting point is 01:26:17 And they're doing the same actions that they were on social media, putting out messages, connecting with people. But instead of getting a negative reinforced with dopamine, it's positively reinforced with dopamine now. And it's a cycle. It's a beautiful thing that we're seeing liminal order. You know, nothing else. Sorry. You know, it's awesome.
Starting point is 01:26:32 You know, I really despise Twitter. It is a group of people that mostly on the left, but some on the right do this. It's the exception on the right. It's the rule on the left. They formed communities of being awful to other people. And I think about growing up skateboarding. And I tell this a lot because really, if you go skate, man, go to a skate park.
Starting point is 01:26:54 If you go to a skate park, you've never skated before, there will be 101, 100% of people there, maybe 99%, will absolutely love to teach you everything they know about skateboarding the rules the culture the learning about skateboarding uh uh trick names and history it's oral tradition there is no book that teaches you the language of the skateboarding jargon like if i said nollie hard flip back crook big spin out people would be like i have no idea this but skateboarders immediately like oh i know exactly what that is. You know, a big flip back tail, big spin, right? These are things you learn from people. You see it happen. They tell it to you. There's no book. Go to a skate park and you'll see, I've seen this before. A 40 year old guy who's never skated before, who's trying to learn how to do a kickflip and he looks awful doing it. And then he finally lands
Starting point is 01:27:41 the worst kickflip ever done. And everyone in the park is cheering and clapping and high fiving him. And they're like, yeah, because he accomplished it for himself. You're surrounded by these people who are cheering you on with a smile on their face for your accomplishment. You're not better than anyone else. Everybody knows everyone's got their own thing. Some people are really good. Some people are arrogant. I look at that community I grew up in of positivity, of fun, freedom, recreation, and I compare it to what Twitter is. They're mirror images. They're opposite of each other. You know what? A great lesson I learned growing up was I studied acting for like 20 years. I went to school for it. And a big part of the lessons was learning intention. What do you intend when you're on stage? It's not what you're saying.
Starting point is 01:28:22 What's my motivation? What's my motivation? What do I want from this situation? And you your actions and your words lead you towards that. And the goal was to make the other actors look better. The idea a great actor makes the other actors look even better. And that's the point. And that's kind of how I try to live. Oh, well, you're talking about the servant leadership model in that regard, then if you're the best kind of leadership is the one where you look around at the people on your team and you try to figure out how to make their lives better, easier, and the mission more easily accomplished. Servant leader. I wish we saw more of that in our president in the last four years. Just thinking back, though, about what you said about the skate community, that really actually kind of touched me a little bit.
Starting point is 01:29:04 That's amazing, right? Just positive energy, even for people making the smallest amount of progress, right? That's the kind of environment you need to find yourselves in, guys. If you go to the gym and you're a total noob and you're fat and you're out of shape, but you go in there and you break a sweat
Starting point is 01:29:21 and you put in the time, I guarantee you every one of those guys that's ripped and looks like he's on steroids and everything else is gonna look at you and be like good on you dude let me cheer good on you as long as you're there doing the work just getting better it's a hugely supportive environment i'd be willing to bet if you were fat not a shape and walked into a gym and just saw some dude working out who was like in shape and said bro teach me he'd be like let's do it dude absolutely here's what i do here's what i like to do here's what works for me people love
Starting point is 01:29:49 to share what what they do they love to to socialize well especially when what you're doing brings you joy and health and longevity and peace of mind and low stress and all these wonderful things yeah you want to share yeah you want to share it man but that's why they shut down gyms that's why they shut down skate parks this is the craziest thing i see i see all this on instagram there's a lot of skate parks are still open but it's crazy to me when i see people are like they shut down the skate park for no reason it's outdoor it's like most there'll be 15 people there at a time it's not there's not hundreds of people but they shut it down why maybe because people are gathering, talking, forming communities, getting along. You think it's that insidious, like the Great Reset trying to destroy people?
Starting point is 01:30:30 Or is it more just they think people are breathing heavy and transmit COVID? I think all of it is intention, in my opinion, is irrelevant. What I mean to say is these are things that allow us to do these things. And whether it's on purpose or not, they've destroyed these positive elements of our communities. They've destroyed our communities but you know for the most part people are still finding a way to go out do their thing and you know it's not it's not absolute it's it's it's crippled to a serious degree but at least people are still you know finding ways to have that community i think man go to an open mic night you know play some music if you don't fun
Starting point is 01:31:02 or uh if you're learning and just introduce yourself to some people and say hey it was a really great song you know i'm here and they're like oh yeah we come here every thursday and just make friends and then everybody cheers each other on but i tell you man what you're talking about tim it's community exactly community community has proven to make you happier healthier and wealthier family that's another big element i love this i love this idea there's a there's a you see these videos a lot where like a mom will bring her seven-year-old kid to a skate park and then she's like i was really worried they would the kids there would be upset that my son was there trying to learn and then it's like this touching video where like
Starting point is 01:31:38 one of the 17 year olds is like let me teach your son some tricks and then she's like i couldn't believe how nice they were and welcoming and i'm like dude happens every single time at every skate park if you come in with your kids and you let your kids romp about and run rampant and don't communicate with people they'll get mad at you if you go in there and say we'd like to you know help our kids learn everyone's going to be like yeah dude hey little man let me show you this trick and be really excited for you it's all about just being a part of it you know it all starts with is it cool like is it cool if yeah like hey i don't i'm not trying to like get in on your thing and ruin it or whatever but can we try a little bit you know a little bit of humility combined with community goes a long way it's what we're missing today man yeah. Yeah, definitely. My eyes are watering up.
Starting point is 01:32:26 But look at what Twitter is. It's the opposite. It's all text. It's like you guys are seeing that episode. You watch Rick and Morty. You guys watch Rick and Morty. Occasionally. The episode where Rick and Morty get their toxic selves stripped away from them.
Starting point is 01:32:38 Yeah. That toxic world is Twitter where they're just, oh, I'm so angry. I swear it's text because if you're in video chats with people, it doesn't usually happen. When you're face-to-face with people, it doesn't happen. As you were just saying, I literally just took the words out of your mouth. When you see how big and tall I am, it usually doesn't happen. But you've been sniffing a lot of lavender, I've been seeing.
Starting point is 01:32:58 I'm wearing patchouli. I have a quote that I think is appropriate for this, that I think Jack will be gushing over uncontrollably. It's one of my favorite quotes. It's a hippy-dippy quote. And it says, watch your thoughts. They lead to attitudes. Watch your attitudes.
Starting point is 01:33:13 They lead to words. Watch your words. They lead to actions. Watch your actions. They lead to habits. Watch your habits. They form your character. Watch your character.
Starting point is 01:33:21 It determines your destiny. You know, find with with intention creating your vibe is your tribe a good method is you have the thought dirty hippie there's a there's a tendency to want to like keep repeating the thought and keep thinking i'm great i'm great i'm great i'm happy i'm happy all you got to do is think at once and then have no thoughts and just let it resonate and that and just have faith in the process that one once you create it and just have no – but you have to have no thought. If you start to have negative thoughts, that will taint the process. And then you just allow with an empty mind it to, I don't know, collaborate.
Starting point is 01:33:56 Yeah, happiness is an inside job is what I like to say. All right. Well, how about we take over these – we take some of these super chats. I can smell you from here, you hippie. If you have not already, smash the Like button, subscribe to the channel, hit that notification bell, and share the podcast if you really do like it. That is the most powerful thing you can do. But don't forget to go to TimCast.com, become a member, because we have an exclusive members-only episode an hour long with James O'Keefe. And we're talking about news media and and you know just
Starting point is 01:34:25 fake news we kind of roast them pretty heavily and it's fun so become a member check out that episode let's read some of these super chats we got johnny knoxville says i do a shot of jaeger every time tim says fascist how often do i say fascist how many times tonight very often once light drinker usually i said tonight. Usually the middle square in the drinking game for the Tim Pool Tim Cass IRL is back on Occupy Wall Street. Occupy? Occupy? What do you mean? Occupy Wall Street.
Starting point is 01:34:54 Yeah, well, just if it's in the middle square of the bingo card. My dad was a fireman. That's a good one. Sorry. Both our dads were firemen. Listen, listen. It's also a big one. Listen, listen, listen. Yes. Yeah, but no, no, no. But like, no, no. Listen, listen. But is a third one. That, listen, listen. Yes. Yeah, but no, no, no. But like, no, no. Listen, listen, but is the third one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:07 That I understand. But fascist, I don't say all that often. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I don't see that all that often. Not today even. All right. He's trying to cut back.
Starting point is 01:35:15 Dolomite. Dolomite says, yeah, that's true. Thank you so much for all you do. And thank you for being respectful and speaking your opinion for Rush. That's the crazy thing to me. I don't care which leftist would lose their life. you for being respectful and speaking your opinion for rush that's the crazy thing to me like i i don't i don't care which leftist would you know would lose their life i i i said kind words about john mccain and he was just like a really awful warmonger too i'm not going to dance on anyone's
Starting point is 01:35:35 grave man i think death is horrifying yeah that's your respite that's the respite death is your respite oh geez sad man joint decision says question what do you guys think vaccine passport Let them go. Jeez. Sad, man. Joint Decision says, Question. What do you guys think? Vaccine passport, travel concerts, etc. Would you ever have Corbett report? Oh, what do we think of vaccine passports? And would we ever have Corbett report on the show?
Starting point is 01:35:55 What do you think of him? I don't know who he is. James Corbett. Yeah, James Corbett would be great. He's usually on point, sources a lot of his stuff, and he's on top of it. He's really good, but he's in Japan. Ah, okay. What do we think about vaccine passports um i have one when i went to venezuela i had to get one and i
Starting point is 01:36:11 had to get i think three different vaccines and then the doctor gives you a card and then he signs it and says which ones you've gotten and then when you go they you have to have like i think you have to have yellow fever that's like the main one you have to have there's other individuals who uh you know i i don't know don't know, I'm not advocating for this, but just print out forms online and just fill them out themselves and show up at the border and get back. Oh, yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:36:35 Well, I don't know. What do you guys think? Good thing or bad thing? Bad thing. Centralization, really bad thing. I don't trust the government. If you're talking about a world, the database, you think China's not going to abuse that data?
Starting point is 01:36:48 Of course they will. I don't know, man. Don't be bringing measles into my neighborhood. I got mixed feelings about germ theory. The germ theory is still a theory of medicine. No one knows for sure how diseases are transmitted. I don't think that's correct. It's called germ
Starting point is 01:37:05 theory for a reason. Yeah, I know. It is called germ theory. I would say that we don't... But it's not called germ hypothesis. We don't know everything about how germs spread, but we do know that they exist. We're simply studying exactly how a germ... Do you know what a theory is? Do you know what a theory is? A theory is a concept. We need to settle this. What a theory is.
Starting point is 01:37:21 Like, theories are heavily tested to the point where we believe them to be true. No, that's a law. That's a law. No, beyond a reasonable doubt. That's a law, is when it's assumed to settle this. What a theory is. Like theories are heavily tested to the point where we believe them to be true. No, that's a law. That's a law. No, beyond a reasonable doubt. That's a law is when it's assumed to be true. We have a theory of gravity, but we know gravity exists. That's why we call it a law.
Starting point is 01:37:34 It's not a law. Laws are theories, but they're just heavily agreed upon theories. Right. Germ theory is a heavily agreed upon theory. I agree. We know they exist. But it is a theory. No one knows for sure.
Starting point is 01:37:43 They developed it in like 1840 where they thought that pathogens floated through the air and went into you i think that sometimes it's like um like a sim because sometimes i'll talk on the phone with someone and i'll hear him sniffling and i'll start to sniffle so it's like this sympathetic vibrations yeah mirror neurons are a real function of nature so i think that maybe sometimes illness is related to mirror neurons that's just called psychosomatic, right? That kind of thing, yeah. So I wonder if disease can be transmitted just through experiencing it visually. Symptoms can, but I think it's fair to say that if you believe in science and you trust
Starting point is 01:38:17 general human understanding of it- Then you would know what a theory is. I'll tell you that for you to come on here and say no one knows, clearly you haven't. It's called germ theory, Tim. You should read about it and we should all, we should study it heavily. Oh my God. No, I'm serious. It's called germ theory.
Starting point is 01:38:31 It's been around for 180 years. It's one of the dumbest things you've ever said. Are you kidding me? Whoa, that's a huge thing. That is. Come on, dude. You can't go on the show and be like germ theory. We don't even know.
Starting point is 01:38:39 It could be magic vibrations of the phone getting people sick. Sorry, dude. No. Absolutely not. It's called germ theory, Tim. We can literally look at viruses. It's called germ theory we can literally look at viruses it's called germ theory yeah i know i'm not saying the virus is the virus gravity isn't real viruses are real but i don't think a virus floating across the room and going in your nose is what's doing it necessarily i don't know why would you even say that because it's it's just a it's a scientific theory that i'm interested in studying more of and
Starting point is 01:39:02 i've found talking on the phone with people that are experiencing symptoms that i will resent resilient bro recitate those symptoms sometimes reciprocate yeah it's a weird symptoms are a normal thing that happen all the time and you're not discrediting the idea of of viruses and germs infecting people and causing illnesses simply because you've got to find a germ. First of all, viruses, bacteria, bacteria, things like that. Yeah. Those are real things and they can float through the air and get on you.
Starting point is 01:39:29 I know that. And cleaning them off is good because you don't want them to replicate, but I don't know if maybe they aren't just, if your body's not like already having them and creating them and incubating them anyway. And climate change is caused by Santa Claus's factory producing too many toys. If we're going to make things up,
Starting point is 01:39:44 we can make up whatever we want. Let keep reading super chats pirate tomski says neville chamberlain was a d-bag this appeasement to totalitarian governments will end up as a stain on the history of our species uh species again history repeating itself right now i'd say so jonathan galtarini says kyle ritten case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning he can never be filed again. Guess who dismissed? The plaintiffs dismissed it with prejudice on their own accord without any reason. Is that true? I don't think that's true.
Starting point is 01:40:14 Is that true? I haven't heard it. I'm seeing it on Twitter, but I haven't seen it verified. Wow, that's huge. I haven't heard that. I'm too busy getting texts about the history of basketball, whether my face was red or what a theory is versus a wall. You really care.
Starting point is 01:40:30 So I'm wondering, is this the civil case or the criminal case? Oh, I don't know. The civil, I heard. I mean, they would have called it the prosecution rather than the plaintiff. No? Had it been the criminal case? We're finding out. Plaintiff would be civil, right finding out plaintiff would be civil right
Starting point is 01:40:45 plaintiff would be civil right right right yeah josh martinez says i can't use paypal but i need to see alex jones wake up luke please tim i'm begging you get an alternative uh we have you're not missing much we have we have a company working on uh set you know expanding and building and it's gonna take time you know it's that's all we can do it's it's literally me being like what he was so nice huh yeah which is weird because like we have a history but whatever it's very nice person justin crotaw says you guys should talk with the guys from adv podcasts they lived in china and know all about that stuff they had to run just because they were filming to show how awesome the culture was. But CCP was paranoid. Wow.
Starting point is 01:41:26 Are these the motorcycle guys? I think they had. There's these like YouTubers that I watch that rode motorcycles all around China. And then they said that the situation there got so bad against Westerners, they had to leave. And now they're making other videos similar to China Uncensored. We should have China Uncensored back, too. I think they're very relative now as well. And those guys, too, with the motorcycles would be great lao why are they that's the guy you're thinking are they related to the guys in blue that are always at all the maga protests all the chinese guys in blue sure i'm not sure to be honest with
Starting point is 01:41:57 you they're they're white there's like oh they are okay that went to china there's a huge contingent of chinese protesters that show up at most of the maga things yeah There's a huge contingent of Chinese protesters that show up at most of the MAGA things. Wow. Yeah. There's a big contingent of right-wing Chinese people as well, which is interesting. And they all wear blue. All right. We got Commander232 says, admittedly, there is a risk in any course we follow other than
Starting point is 01:42:14 this, but every lesson of history tells us the greater risk lies in appeasement. And this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face. A time for choosing. R. Reagan. That freaks me out. our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face. A time for choosing. R. Reagan. reason china is as powerful as they are right now and continue to be as powerful is because of multinational corporations that the united states subsidizes and works with that is propping them up and giving them a ton of money their slave labor to our individual consumer choices in america exactly yes it's on us basically jesse moorfield says hey tim i know you aren't quite open to guest suggestions but i think it would be awesome if you had Jordan Peterson's daughter, Michaela, on the show.
Starting point is 01:43:09 I think she would slide easily into the convo. She has a standing invite. Yes, absolutely. Presumably, I just watched an awesome interview with Jordan Peterson and God sob today. I love those guys. Clay Moore says, with the crystal ball there in front of Ian, super happy he decided to wear pant, LOL.
Starting point is 01:43:32 I did it for Jack. Wearing pants? Thank you. I don't know what that meant. Oh, I did wear pants. I did this at one point in the show. Oh, and they're like, he's not wearing pajamas? No, I got it.
Starting point is 01:43:39 Through the crystal ball, they can see your pants. We have more people saying, get Serpent Saw and Lawai86 on as guests. Yes, yes. I've seen them confirm they want to come on, so maybe it's just a matter of getting through to them. But where are they? Is it an international issue?
Starting point is 01:43:53 Frag the Planet says, if future progresses, we will have so much of our data collected. Satellites more powerful. Everything is cataloged as they happen in real time. All you do from the minute minute moment will be exploited and curated to extract your money time and attention. That's absolutely right, which is why the window is closing. The panopticon is coming. How many
Starting point is 01:44:13 more years do we have? 5, 10, 2? Oh, it's here. Come on. Facebook knows when you poop. I know, but the one in conjunction with the satellites and the whole thing and literally every move, every breath, every thought it's coming was that what it called i don't remember where all these cameras are networked and using facial recognition and that was seven years ago oh yeah i think look man if the civilian technology has all this stuff government
Starting point is 01:44:38 technology probably i saw batman wasn't that wasn't one of the end scenes in one of the Nolan Batmans where he gets his version of Q or whatever to go out and link up everybody's cell phone so he can actually see everywhere in the whole city? No, he does it against the wishes of his cat guy. His Q. Yeah. Whatever his name is. Yeah. So he uses every cell phone as basically sonar. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:02 And then can track anyone and anywhere and he finds the Joker. I think it's Dark Knight who does this. Yeah, the Panopticon is here, I guess. There's a neural net. Run. Micus says, I quit Twitter earlier today. I decided I had enough and deleted it and my Facebook. YouTube might be next, but I use it so much it's hard to leave.
Starting point is 01:45:20 Well, you can always go to TimCast.com and become a member in the event you do get rid of all your social media. That reminds me of this Workaholics episode where they're like, oh, we're quitting drinking. And they're like, oh, really? How much time do you have sober? And they're like, 11 hours. That's pretty good. It's better than nothing. Mason Whaling says,
Starting point is 01:45:37 in the Boxer Rebellion, the harmonious fists began violence against Western influence by killing two priests, attacking not only the British, but U.S. Embassy, too. The opium trade Interesting. Wow. OMG Puppy says, There are people who will throw open their window and yell, I've had enough.
Starting point is 01:45:57 People who watch their neighbors with binoculars and snitch on them. And people who close their windows and hope nobody hurts them. Interesting. Well, people need to say no to the authoritarianism man and you need to do it loudly in public on video on the internet because yelling in your room is not enough these days or wearing a t-shirt outside in public letting people know where you stand politically letting them know that not all hope is lost jay rich says fb, and Amazon are backbone of the Internet. Trillions in data centers and network infrastructure.
Starting point is 01:46:31 Saying they're a fad is like saying electricity is a fad. They're not going anywhere. I tend to agree. That's a very good point. I mean, they're definitely cementing themselves as the key kind of infrastructure. But again, anything could happen. There could be an Internet 2.0, 3.0. We never know.
Starting point is 01:46:46 Nope. Technology has ceased evolving. There'll be no new innovations, no new companies, no new ideas. This is it. We're done. We're frozen in time. Good point, Jack. Thank you. It's hard to imagine that these things will go by the wayside, but they certainly will. When Windows 95 came out, everybody thought that was the end. Alessio Damonte says to Ian, my wife just called you LSD Jesus.
Starting point is 01:47:12 I do like LSD. It's derived from ergot, which is a fungus that grows on rye. It's organic. Ergotamine, yeah. And so what was it, Timothy Leary? Who's the guy that synthesized LSD in the 50s? Was it Leary?
Starting point is 01:47:24 Leary? He popularized it. Yes, he popularized it,ary. Who's the guy that synthesized LSD in the 50s? Was Leary? Leary? He popularized it. Yes, he popularized it, yes. It's pretty fantastic stuff. Thank you to you and your wife. Cosmic Collectibles says, Would love for you to have the quartering on again to discuss the oppressive wokeness
Starting point is 01:47:37 of the Magic the Gathering content creator community and their alienation of conservative players. GF and I sending love from Texas. Maybe you'll need to make your own Magic the Gathering. Because, look, for those that don't know what it is, it's one of the most popular card games in the world, physical. And it's not just about wokeness and critical theory and the weird things the company is doing.
Starting point is 01:47:59 The game is just broken completely. Dude, we played a couple weeks ago, me, Tim, Adam, a bunch of us at like six of the five. This is a broken game. I went at Tim so hard. Because he was playing a deck. We're on turn five. No excuses. Turn five, it was going to go infinite and win the game.
Starting point is 01:48:11 That's not true. And I knew it. That's not true. And he was like, dude, stop attacking me. But I wouldn't stop. Because if I didn't do it, he plays the victim and then in one turn wins. What actually happened was it's six players. I'm essentially, you know, I have very little free time throughout throughout the day and so this is the problem with magic the gathering right now
Starting point is 01:48:28 they've made the game itself is just a broken game so it's not about wokeness it's not about you know ostracizing conservative players it's about for whatever reason they just shattered the game with with updates to it with new rules with new cards and so i think this is the perfect example of where people got to make their own game it's pay to win well but you got make your own game right we have been talking about it and it's called well i don't know it doesn't really matter what it's called but it is hot we've got we've made it too balanced we're like it was going on forever when we when we play tested it but i think we're we're crafting it down so that it can be a quick fun party game and it's not pay to. Magic is like if you go out and you have all the money, you can
Starting point is 01:49:06 buy all the really powerful mythic cards and you just dominate your friends. But a game that's like out of the box, where everyone's on an even playing field, I think is the future. You know, honestly, it could be that the game is breaking because of some weird parallel with wokeism. So, a simple way to explain it.
Starting point is 01:49:22 You've got Captain Marvel, for instance. Did you watch Captain Marvel? Yes, sir. She's just insanely powerful for what reason? You know, in Avengers Endgame, she like blows up the entire, like Thanos' massive warship just on her own.
Starting point is 01:49:37 Thanos headbutts her and she doesn't even flinch. And people, when I was watching, when I watch this in the theaters, they groaned when it happened. Like, come on man every characters have to have some limits what's happening now with a lot of the new sets that are coming out is it's just like bonkers power level that like i'm looking at like i don't want to play that it's bad enough one person can win the game in like a turn or two i'm just not interested
Starting point is 01:49:59 in playing this game and it may be something similar where they just want everyone to have absurd amounts of power in these fictional worlds and these fantasies. And it doesn't work, I guess. If Magic the Gathering isn't part of the Tim Pool universe anymore, I have to rewrite my whole model. Oh, it's been out for a long time. Has it been? Because the very first time I ever came on the show, the very first thing you did when I got there was like, hey, man, you play magic? And then the very first thing you did right after show, start playing magic again.
Starting point is 01:50:24 So that's this inner weave.'s gone it's gone it's gone and it's partly because a bunch of the art was banned for being racist oh so again for those that aren't familiar like you have it's a it's a magic game there's like white magic and green magic and red magic and black magic and so some of these cards have been deemed racist and banned outright it's crazy there's a black card that says destroy all white creatures that was banned no no no there's a white card that wasn't banned oh you're right right there's a white card that says destroy all black creatures that was banned the black card that says destroy all white creatures wasn't banned and it was even barely it wasn't racist no no but that card was actually even more racist so in the destroy all black creatures
Starting point is 01:51:01 banning it was racist because the picture is a bunch of goblins and demons being like hit with a blast of light. And I'm like, what are they trying to imply by claiming that art showing demons being blasted by light is some kind of representation of the black community or in some way racist? That is racist. But the other card, which is a black magic card and says destroy all white creatures, shows a black ooze destroying a knight in like shining armor and i'm like so in both depictions they have made racist it's it's more like what that one should be the one that got banned i can't take the woke as um wizards of the coast who bought magic the gathering also or bought dungeons and dragons rather is woke of fine dungeons and dragons
Starting point is 01:51:41 they're trying to get rid of orcs is that no race race is gone or something like race doesn't matter every race is the same has the same access to abilities like no races are different genetically elves are more dexterous orcs are stronger that is the nature of fantasy and and they're trying to purify it and and just yeah yeah yeah like ridiculous you've been lord of the rings dude i've played dungeons and dragons as a kid this just melts my brain you can just pick a race. Any race is going to be suited to any. Dwarves are now six foot tall in archers. Yeah, if you want your orc to be dexterous, if you want your elf to be strong, it's insane.
Starting point is 01:52:15 It's not the way. I mean, look, you can call yourself a dragon. I don't care what the rules. It's a fantasy game where people play with their friends. You can make a strong elf, but they get a natural bonus to their dexterity because they're an elf think about this this logical consequence here uh the only advantage to being a human in dungeons and dragons was that you had like balanced stats yeah right and so now if your race doesn't matter in your character a selection fantasy race will clarify in dungeons and dragons then there's no reason to be human doesn't matter in your character selection. Fantasy race. We'll clarify. In Dungeons and Dragons, then there's no reason
Starting point is 01:52:47 to be human. No, there is. Because you want to be a human. You want to be a human who can fly with dragon wings and throw fireballs from your nose. Sounds like you want to be draconic. I'm so confused about what's happening here. Listen, I'll be honest. The thing about magic is that these are cards you need to play a game
Starting point is 01:53:03 to win contests, and it's a sport. The thing about Dungeons & Dragons, if I'm going to sit around with my friends and make fantasy jokes, and like we've played before, people got to understand Dungeons & Dragons are not people, for the most part, wearing wigs and costumes and pretending to be Gandalf. It was like when we did it at the theater, it was joking about going to a bar and making everyone eat goat cheese. It's just drinking beers, eating pizza and making jokes. Take mathematical risks with rolling dice. Yeah. Just like have some consequences. If people want to hang out and be like, I'm a dragon who can fart fireballs.
Starting point is 01:53:33 I'm like, great. I don't care. Well, there are dragon hunters out there. One of them opens a portal in front of you. Roll initiative. All right. Let's read. We got this one.
Starting point is 01:53:43 Jake Kemp says wokeism is the inversion of wisdom i don't want to be woke i want to be wise given enough time wokeism will destroy itself so prepare and fight back build create think instruct plan for the long term and be wise respect to all of you yeah thank you sir joe schmoe says love the show. It makes the work week tolerable, yet informed. But I'd appreciate it if Ian's perspectives were respected more. He's trying to make sense of the sludge you're so deep in, but I feel that he's shot down too often instead of understood and debated. Well, I can certainly respect that.
Starting point is 01:54:18 Thank you. Interesting point. Thank you. I also appreciate, Tim, your willingness to poke holes in the things I say, because it makes me really look at what I'm saying holistically. So I do appreciate that. But yeah, that guy's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:32 This kind of conversation is why we have free speech. And it's not to shoot each other down. It's to engage our own ideas and find out where they're weak. Steel, Larkin, steel. Plus, I always try to defend you when I'm here. Thanks, Jay. A little bit. And then I go back and then respond to all the comments that talk trash about you. And I'm like, yeah, I always try to defend you when I'm here. Thanks, Jay. A little bit. And then I go back and then respond to all the comments that talk trash about you.
Starting point is 01:54:48 I'm like, yeah, that's what you said. Yeah. I know I'm in person. And yeah, you're right. Philippe Brevard says, ever thought of having Ezra Levant from the Canadian Rebel News in the show? Big free speech, freedom of press and pro civil rights advocate. He's in Canada.
Starting point is 01:55:04 Yeah. Yeah. We can't have Canadians. Yeah. They have a two week quarantine and they have to pay thousands of dollars. Big free speech, freedom of press, and pro-civil rights advocate. He's in Canada. Yeah. Yeah, we can't have Canadians. Yeah. I think he follows me. They have a two-week quarantine, and they have to pay thousands of dollars and have mandatory testing. There are a lot of people. Insane rules that they have to go through now. It's bad.
Starting point is 01:55:14 Yeah. Yeah. It's a British thing. We got another request from Luminiscent. It says, please get Lawai and Serpentsa on. They are in the USA. Lydia and Artie are in talk with them, but they are still waiting for the invitation confirmation. They are?
Starting point is 01:55:28 I have reached out to Luai. Well, they can come whenever they want. He never got back to me. I reached out to him on December 10th, 2020. Those dudes have some deep inside knowledge. Yeah, so just waiting. Well, let's get the word out. Come on. Mr. Cook says, who played the Summon Biden card? Does it give 20 direct damage to the player? Sniffs. Yeah, sniffs.
Starting point is 01:55:44 He smells you so hard that it rips your skin off. He just eats your daughters. We have another individual. Casey Lauren said, Hi, from Canada. Great show. Jack is awesome. Would you ever consider having Ezra Levant on the show?
Starting point is 01:55:55 Of course. The problem is, from Canada. Two in one night. There are a bunch of people I wanted to have on. I really would love to have Carl Benjamin. He is the host of the Lotus Eaters podcast y'all can check that one out and Count Dankula
Starting point is 01:56:08 but they're in the UK and so they're basically in jail well Dankula's busy too can't leave yeah yeah he's busy but they can't even travel so those are two people I'd love to have come hang out because they're cool dudes
Starting point is 01:56:18 so many Canadians can't travel yeah now what we were saying Luke like the other day you were mentioning that there's like a $2,000 charge if you go to the uk or something well in the uk they make you quarantine i think it's two thousand four hundred dollars translated from a pound so that you have to stay in a hotel i i forgot the exact uh number of days uh but yes it seems like the only the rich could travel now i made an offhanded comment that it's a British thing, but it's British Commonwealth territory.
Starting point is 01:56:46 You see it now in Canada, which is British Commonwealth. And in Australia, there's weird lockdowns. So that's the monarchy. I'm just not a fan of monarchy. The history of worshiping the queen. Danny Sherrill said, honestly, the subscription at TimCast.com is paid back in full. Just from hearing Luke rants and Tim using using spicy words y'all are the highlight of my day well so uh i can't remember what were we talking about um i didn't pissed off about
Starting point is 01:57:11 so biden was going to ban travel to florida and then as we're getting ready for the members only segment luke is walking back in just cussing up a storm and i was like press play let's just sit and record people were censoring you about if you're talking about people censoring you and you were just like unloading. Oh yeah, just my history of journalism. So, so you got to go to TimCast.com and find the segments like Luke Rants because it was Luke basically saying Reza Aslan can eat human brain on TV and they're monetized and supported and given front page access, but his channel gets censored and restricted by YouTube.
Starting point is 01:57:44 It was great and and yeah a lot of a lot of cussing it's just it's just you know sometimes it's unfair and you gotta vent and you gotta express that but i've been doing like a lot of hardcore journalism on we are change and it's unforgiven work and um you know i don't i have no regrets i'm happy where i am right now bear post says yes yes, gentlemen. This encouraging and positive society exists right now. It's called, I don't know if you put the X in church on purpose, churchics. We need God more than ever right now. Maybe it just means church.
Starting point is 01:58:15 Christian church. Aurora Dia says, Joshua Phillip from the Epoch Times is the China expert you need. Oh, I love that guy. Oh, yeah. I mean, yeah, definitely. Be done. The mainstream media hates Epoch Times for some reason. Can't be critical of China.
Starting point is 01:58:29 Vincent Serrano says, I work with hundreds of kiddos daily. Indoctrination of new normal and media culture is horribly impacting these young minds. Find at BareOddFruit on all social media. They are trying to fight back.
Starting point is 01:58:43 Yeah. And then Mark L says, Hodge twins ever invited? I mean, yeah. Of course. That'd be awesome. They would have to sit next to each other, though. Yeah, that'd be great. What do they do? It's only fitting. It'd be funny. I've heard of these guys before. They actually have a microphone. Comedians. Yeah, yeah. They're on Crowder all the time, aren't they? Yeah, they were just the other night. I think they're in Texas,
Starting point is 01:59:00 right? I think so. Do they have to sit next to each other? That'd be funny. Two microphones coming from two directions. Drew says, read the White House and the House's website and read about how Biden called Xi Jinping for two hours about our
Starting point is 01:59:15 infrastructure and the House having meetings today on reparations. Yeah, the reparations things was interesting. I think, I don't know if you were, did you bring it up, Lydia, earlier? Yeah. I was like, you know what I was thinking about it? Let me ask you guys a question. The omnibus spending bill.
Starting point is 01:59:32 How much money went overseas, right? What would you rather have? All of that spending that went to, you know, 10 million in gender studies to Pakistan and 100 million to defense foreign countries. Would you rather have all of that spending that was, you know, I was like nearly a trillion, go overseas,
Starting point is 01:59:48 or would you rather have that just be given to the black community for reparations? I'd rather not be taxed. He had to do one of them. No, that's government putting a gun to your head saying, pick two really horrible options. No, none of them. I'm not participating in your system and giving you my power.
Starting point is 02:00:04 You suck at hypotheticals. I don't know what the money went to. They were very vague about it. Okay, Jack, compromise your morals and tell us what you would do at the threat of a gunpoint right now. If I have no choice in the matter, actually, if you're going to be honest, African Americans in the United States got a raw deal, no question, right? For a long, long time. I personally would prefer us to take all that money that we spend on other people that aren't U.S. citizens or who just became citizens or just got here who weren't here. If we gun to my head, I would be in favor of that. Yeah, but definitely. How do you repair? You know, I'm all about repairing society, but giving
Starting point is 02:00:42 people that are worth several hundred thousand, a dude that makes $200,000 a year giving him five grand because of the color of his skin is weird to me because that doesn't really repair society. You're not participating in the hypothetical. I was given two choices, dude. Thank you. Good grief. Third choice. You keep the money for yourself.
Starting point is 02:01:00 Jack Murphy supports reparations. It's official, guys. It's easy for me. I would rather I would. It's easy for me. I would rather all of that money we just dumped overseas. Yeah. Reparations. Any any. That's an easy answer.
Starting point is 02:01:10 It goes to Americans who live here. I don't care if they gave it to one guy whose name was John Smith. And they're like, here's one point nine trillion dollars. It's going to an American citizen. That would be worse if you gave it all to one guy, because that was the first thing I thought. That's probably true, because then he'd spend money on like politics or whatever he would invest in the economy come on last time i was here i said hey what happens to lottery winners they spend all
Starting point is 02:01:32 their money in stupid ways and they go crazy and you guys are like no no no no no they used to in the last 20 years lottery winners have hired wealth management companies and they're very smart about it so that joe smith and his 1.9 trillion dollars would not waste it one bit no no no they would they would they would start dumping it into politics yeah i wouldn't want that but i i gotta tell you it's still better than giving it wasn't 1.9 trillion going all just to you know foreign foreign nations but it look if we're like we're gonna give 10 million dollars to gender study and now let me pull a name out of a hat i'll go on twitter grab a random account give them them the $10 million. Foreign gender studies is the most insane.
Starting point is 02:02:07 One of the most insane things that the government has given money to overtly in the last 20 years. That's what government does. I mean, besides all the military stuff. Gender studies. What the heck? Pakistani gender studies.
Starting point is 02:02:18 Is it because women were suppressed and they want to give women the freedom of speech or something? I don't understand why. Look, I understand foreign grants and stuff and federal aid but our country is collapsing like mass evictions around the corner they're still somebody tweeted hey i'm starting to think they're not even going to give us 1400 anymore yeah you think biden lied to you okay like you're not getting any money it's worth less than it was six months ago did
Starting point is 02:02:44 you see the the food inflation stuff that's about to hit this is crazy man yep the like grain is like if you look if you i forgot what the charts was because i'm not an expert on this stuff but i was looking at some financial uh twitter accounts talking about grain is starting to look like it's going to skyrocket in price and it's going to ripple across basically all food everything yeah grains and and other agricultural goods once corn goes up everything else goes up around it i'm already hearing from friends they were like i went to the store i couldn't believe how expensive it was too so the other option is the government's going to have to subsidize these companies to keep the
Starting point is 02:03:18 prices low which means they're going to have to print more money to subsidize them which will cause more inflation to make the prices go up the prices go up and they don't subsidize it and then people can't afford it bro we're in we're in we're in pre-world war ii era uh you know like that'd be like the hyperinflation another reason why bitcoin went 52,000 52 5 ethereum at 18 8 uh what 1,864 dollars all-time high. Yeah. Yep. I think food inflation is going to be bad. The Binance coin is up 300% in 12 days. It went from $35 to $135, something like $45 to $135. That's the coin that you use to cover the fees on Binance when you make trades. So you can see that the trading market itself has exploded in popularity. I think a lot of people are realizing the volatility of the
Starting point is 02:04:05 dollar. You cannot have a functioning economy when the government just prints $8 trillion. What is this now? Like 80% of the money supply in a year just dumping it out? Food's going to go up, man. And people I'll tell you what's crazy. People are saying right now, $1,400.
Starting point is 02:04:22 We can't even get that? Bro, you're going to need $2,800 once the price of milk doubles. And you're not going to have that either. Your savings, what's going to happen now is not only are you not getting any money, but what little money you have is being cut in half. Your buying power is being destroyed. It's going to get crazy. Yeah, I've been saying, just learn how to farm.
