The long-awaited Joe Biden press conference finally happened.
And I have to wonder how much anyone really cares.
It was exactly as we thought it would be.
He gaffed.
He said some really weird things.
His brain stopped working halfway through.
And then the media came out and defended him.
And so I guess we're going to end up talking a little bit about this.
But we'll talk a bit more about some other cultural, political issues.
We have, this is crazy.
You guys know who Emily Redich-Akowski is, I think her name is?
Yeah, she was in that.
She she's that model and she always just gets naked.
She has this article where she talks about how she despises the fact that her baby is a white man and that she looks at her husband sleeping in his bed and she just hates him because he's a white man sleeping peacefully.
We got some we got some stuff to talk about.
We're definitely get into it.
Apparently, Disney Plus, I guess the Mandalorian's ratings tanked.
That's what they're reporting now because after they kicked off Gina Carano.
And they're accusing her of saying a bunch of things she didn't say.
So we're going to go through this stuff.
And we'll start with good old Joe Biden, what's going on with him.
Because this is actually pretty funny.
Joining us today, of course, is none other than The Quartering.
Come on, man.
Glad to be here.
Really, really glad to be in the beanie.
Multi-million dollar beanie compound with not one, but two
skate parks and just a lot of interesting things around here.
I'm glad to be here.
A lot of weird stuff.
Like the hour pillow over there, a burlap sack with packing peanuts in it.
Look, I thought this was like a gift bag item.
I get to take that, right?
No, no.
We can make you one.
We can make you an official hour pillow bag.
You can make me one.
I love how you mentioned the beanie compound over there because there was that smear piece. that right no no we can make you one we can make you an official pillow bag i love i love i love
how you you mentioned the the beanie camber to ever because there was that uh uh smear piece i
won't get too much into where they're like you know tim people are scared to go to tim pool's
house because he has guns and i'm like we have a guest every single day i'm scared they're right
they're everywhere i went to the bathroom there's one in the toilet in the yeah i don't know it's just like
in there the toilet was the gun right and he almost sat down we were like whoa whoa that's
actually not a toilet yeah i didn't know they've come a long way yeah you're like walking down the
stairs and then there's like a latch right above and you pull it it's just a it's like it's like
watching one of those action movies with um bruce willis you know and there's a gun sitting
everywhere well you must have got a lot of money invested in razor wire, too, because there's some serious
security around here.
The hyenas, I think, are really keeping this place safe.
They're cute.
The hyenas everywhere.
Well, we don't feed them so that they're particularly ravenous.
Yeah, stay away from my house.
That way, stay away from my house.
All right.
Anyway, well, thanks for hanging out, Jeremy.
Yeah.
We got Ian East chilling.
Oh, hello, everyone.
Ian Crossland.
What up?
And also me in the corner.
It's going to be a great show.
We love having Jeremy here with all our hyenas.
Yes, and I think we're looking forward to just laughing at the sadness that is our president.
But before we do that, click the link in the description below.
Go to surfinginternetsafe.com, and you can get a virtual private network to help secure your internet
browsing.
Surfing Internet Safe.
You go there, you get the Virtual Shield VPN, 50% off for life.
It's only $2.50 per month.
Let me tell you what a VPN does.
It is a basic layer of security.
If you've got creepos, stalkers, government agents, hackers, big corporations, they want
to spy on your data, they want to steal your information. A VPN is that basic layer of defense to help keep your information safe, to help you protect
your privacy.
And I think Virtual Shield is a great service.
They've been a sponsor of the show for a long time, so I'm eternally grateful that they're
here.
The way I usually explain this, you've probably heard me say it, but it bears repeating.
We don't expect anybody breaking our homes, but we still lock our doors and our windows.
If somebody really wanted to, they're going to take a sledgehammer to your door.
I get it.
But that lock does work because sometimes people, they try and push through.
They can't get through.
It's basically what that VPN does.
It's something really easy you can get to keep your internet browsing safe.
So go to surfinginternetsafe.com.
Get Virtual Shield.
And again, guys, Virtual Shield was my first sponsor.
They've always been there for me.
Through the thick and thin, through all the controversy
and demonetization virtual shield.
They rock.
So thank you all so much.
Don't forget.
Also, go over to Tim cast dot com.
Become a member because we got a bunch of exclusive members only podcast segments.
We had Aaron Berg yesterday and he had some pretty offensive jokes.
And so we're like, well, we'll keep the ones that are particularly dangerous for YouTube and put it on the private platform.
So if you want to hear ridiculous conversations, offensive comedy, we also got a bunch of segments that are much more serious.
We've got talk about God and DMT and politics.
Just we have a big library.
We got a new website launching soon, an upgrade.
And we're going to try and sort these episodes by different topics so that you can actually go in and as a member get access to this full library of content that's always going to be there for you as a member.
And also, don't forget, like, share, subscribe to this YouTube channel and this podcast.
If you are listening on iTunes or Spotify, leave us a good review.
We really do appreciate it because it really, really helps.
And share the show because that's the only way we really grow. But a special shout out to everybody who's a member because you guys, you got to understand
right now, viewership is down across the board for every major media company.
Ad rates are down for every single media company.
And your membership really helps this company function, helps us keep doing the show.
And we're going to be expanding.
I'm talking to some of these comedians about doing series like comedy shows to bring back
that edgy, offensive offensive comedy it's not too
ridiculous and over the top but like how it used to be before everybody got scared and woke right
but uh with all that being said let's jump in wait a minute wait a minute you know where my head just
went right there where'd your head go you guys are all old enough i think maybe lydia isn't
remember wayne's world where uh dana carrie's sitting back in his hockey gear with the Reebok stuff and he's like, man, it's like people only do stuff because they get paid.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's true.
Well, look, if we want to keep this show running.
You have to.
It's so legit.
Then membership has become the core function of this business.
I mean YouTube is unreliable.
People are getting purged.
Ad rates and viewership's going down for everybody.
But I want to create something that is its own brand, that you come to this website,
kind of like our own smaller independent version of a Disney Plus or a Hulu.
So I'm actually talking to some comedians.
With less slave labor.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, actually, none.
Zero?
Only robots.
That's right.
That's right.
We've actually found a way to not have slavery.
Like, you know, Disney couldn't figure it out, but we did.
So, yeah.
But the plan is we want to do movies.
We want to do short films.
We want to do comedy.
We want to do action, adventure, and stuff.
And maybe that's what we're literally working on.
We're talking about doing a paranormal podcast next.
And we're actually starting the process of looking through some of the people who emailed us for you know jobs and we're going to do ghosts paranormal weird wacky wild fo's and
stuff so we're going to start expanding next as a podcast but then we're going to start looking at
documentary series and things like that so that's all thanks to you guys you have wonderful members
powered by membership have you uh done a membership service yet i do i just started one um and uh
yeah it is i mean i kid but it is super important like yeah yeah even
a like the small membership is infinitely more helpful than even youtube ad rev so yeah i mean
if you're not if you're not already backing me and you have a few extra dollars i would recommend
considering going we're we're going to build something massive in five years in five years
i i think we'll be i'll just i'll keep think we'll be – I'll keep some humility for a second.
But no, I think we're going places.
I think so too.
I mean we have the architecture of minds behind it.
So much is already in place.
We've got a lot of stuff we're going to make.
We've got a lot of people who are interested in doing it.
The opportunity is there.
And because we have these members supporting us, we have the ability to do things these big networks can't do because they're scared of losing
advertisers. We're not. But let's make fun of Joe Biden. Come on. Oh, my friends, you may have seen
the press conference with Joe Biden. It was particularly boring. He called mostly on favorable
press. He didn't ask a single he didn't ask a single conservative to speak at this press conference, and he had your very obvious gifts.
At one point, someone asked him a question about how to solve problems, and he's like, you know, we got to work on.
It's very – okay.
Whatever.
That's basically shot for shot.
That's exactly how I remember it.
It just stopped. Yeah, he just completely shut down. whatever and it was just basically shot for shot that's that's exactly how i remember it just
stopped yeah and i was like whoa like the dude just stopped talking dead and then like his brain
just just misfired and what's funny is all of these journalists started saying like they were
defending him so i put out these very um powerful and profound tweets where i was like joe biden's
strength is exactly what we need he He is the champion we elected.
I'm like, the dude literally just stopped talking
because his brain didn't work.
And there are actually journalists defending him,
but you know who isn't defending him?
Kamala Harris.
Snopes.
Oh, what'd they say?
Here we go.
They did get him.
They got him.
They got him, yeah.
From Snopes fact check.
Now, hold on.
There's a lot of people who might not understand
the context of why it's funny that snopes is fact checking this it's because
like snopes fact checks the stupidest way possible there will be a story right let's say you know
jeremy one day you know you're the host of the quartering and uh you you do cultural commentary
so there's a lot of lefties they don't like you let's say one day you ran into a burning building
and saved a box of puppies and with a great risk to
yourself and then everyone starts congratulating you as they should snopes is the kind of outlet
that would say did jeremy hambly actually run into a burning building to save puppies
were the puppies actually racist no no they'll say did jeremy hambly actually run into a house
to save a box of small puppies while wearing
Nikes?
And then they'll say false.
And then they'll say, while it's true, he did run in the burning building to save the
puppies.
He wasn't, in fact, wearing those shoes.
That way, what they do is the headline has the big false next to it.
They add something to the story that makes the whole story false, even though it's 99
percent true.
Snopes does that?
Yeah, absolutely.
There was one recently. I can't remember what it was.
It was like, oh yeah, I remember.
Did Ocasio-Cortez exaggerate her fear from the Capitol?
False.
While she wasn't in the building when the storming happened,
and she was in a different building at a different time,
she did say, it's like, they just play that game, right?
Check this out. Did Biden say I came into the U.S. Senate 120 years ago?
Oh, they're going to say no.
Nineteen oh one.
I believe it.
I believe it.
You're telling me that's not true.
Well, so well, no, no.
Snopes says it's true.
The remark in question came during his first news conference of the new administration rating.
True.
Joe Biden said with regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to the position of the new administration rating. True. Joe Biden said with regard to the
filibuster, I believe we should go back to the position of the filibuster that existed
just when I came to the United States Senate 120 years ago. You know what? You know what I love
about this, though? Look at this. This is what what they say. It's true that Biden said these
words. However, it was unclear if he misspoke or simply making a joke. You see
how they defend this guy to how they look at this. We have this tweet here. If he misspoke,
Zach Smith on Twitter, who just seems to be a regular guy, noticed this trend and Lydia
notices as well. Yeah, he tweeted. I like how Twitter is saying that Biden was joking about
him saying he's been in the Senate for 120 years. Bet Biden smiles when he jokes. He said that with a stern face. He really thinks he's been
in the Senate for 120 years. And Twitter is trying to tell you he was joking. Look at this.
United States trends. It says Senate 120 in his bid to bring back the former filibuster format.
President Biden jokingly said we should go back to a position of the filibuster that
existed just when i came into the senate 120 years ago it wasn't a joke there was no joke
like a joke would be like if he was like he would have said something like oh geez you know back
when i came in we didn't even have the filibuster because that was what 200 years ago yeah i'm
kidding i'm kidding but you know what i mean come on man it's a joke you know he had to be joking
how was he joking well like it was like i've been in the senate for a long time ha ha ha but 120 years is a specific number i know really
he would have been like a bad joke like you know we could go back to the way the filibuster was
when i went in you know 100 plus years ago and then it would have been like ha ha you know was
that that fell flat isn't it possible hear me out that joe biden may be a vampire he may actually be a hundred and what would that make him 140
i was thinking if he's a vampire he could he could theoretically be 500
that you know yeah right but that would that would imply that he got bitten when he was in his 70s
that's unfortunate because you know when you turn into a vampire you stay the same age that's a
bummer i was thinking yesterday if you eat meat and you think you're not a vampire that is good we're not drinking blood dude you don't like grab the pig
and drink its blood blood in that meat you don't look look you don't i tweeted i tweeted when i
saw this i was like all across the country lizard people conspiracy theorists spit their doers onto
their screen and we're like i knew it! First thing I thought.
Q's going crazy.
He admitted it!
Lizard vampire confirmed. I'll tune in to Alex tomorrow.
I know he's going to mention it.
Yeah, but he's not going to actually say Joe Biden's an immortal lizard person.
You know what I mean? Highlander. How could you know that?
Is he trolling us? Has Biden been trolling
us this whole time? He's going to troll you in the chocolate
factory?
I can see it.
He walks forward in the press conference and falls down and then springs up.
Because we already think he falls.
We're afraid that he's going to get hurt.
What if, what if he's, that was a joke I was making during the campaign that Joe Biden
was only pretending to be incapable of being, doing his job so that, you know, like throughout
the debates, he's fumbling and stumbling and struggling to walk and slipping and then finally when it comes to you know to the final debate with trump he staggers
out falls down but then springs up like willy wonka yeah and stuns the whole world and that
gives him the news cycle so he wins the only problem is he's won and he's still doing it
so that theory is out the window it's the, man. Did you see they were already asking him if he's going to rerun?
He's been the president for like a month.
I'm like, are you going to rerun?
He's like, well, of course.
Come on, man.
If you run again, will you take Kamala Harris?
He's been the president for like a month and a half.
And they're already like, no, but here's the funny thing.
Who can we replace you with?
The funny thing about this press conference when I think it was was i don't remember who asked him if he was going to
run again he said it was his expectation how was it even a consideration every president like going
back decades has run for a second term like a hundred plus years or whatever they've always
tried to get since fdr i guess that's when we got the two term limit. But they've always said, I'll run for reelection.
Listen, he's a big believer in fate.
He's a big believer in fate.
And right.
But like he's willing it to be.
What I'm saying is think about how weird it is.
We're at a point where we're arguing about whether or not he will run when every other president did.
You know what I mean?
The fact the fact that Biden is actually in this position where it's questionable whether he will is scary to us.
The dude was talking and then just stopped and then went, whatever.
Dude, he's haggard.
He's like he lost.
He just like just lost it.
And now they're like, are you going to run for president again?
You know what the journalists are actually asking him.
Are you OK?
Are you going to pass the torch? No asking them are you okay are you gonna pass the torch no they're saying are you okay like the dude just gaffed
in ridiculous ways and they were like are you gonna run for office again they asked him in that
same conference yeah yeah multiple ways too it was funny yeah it was really insulting and i loved it
but the they had um you know all the i don't think I've seen a president on a podium with more notes.
Now, I'm not that – he had notes.
First of all, I don't know what's on them.
But every reporter that came up, in my opinion, my guess is it was the reporter, their political background, exactly what question they're going to ask, and the answer.
I agree.
Who's next?
No, no.
Okay, so-and-so so and then put it down so we
already know that reporters were complaining jen sackey who's the the press uh um secretary
that's that's it right press secretary yeah that's correct she had requested questions in advance
so when biden's like looking through his folder and he goes oh we got here um
janet and then he's looking down she asked asks the question, and then he goes, and then he folds the paper and goes,
we gotta fight! And
he's got the answers
written down. Oh my god.
It was very obvious that he was just reading it
off whatever was on that paper.
I think when he just was talking,
someone asked him a question, he tried.
I think that's when he tried. You know what I mean?
Like, here he is, he's got all the answers in front of him,
and they're going, just stick to the prompter.
Stick to the prompter.
Reminds me of Iron Man.
Remember that?
At the end of the movie when they're like, just stick to the cards.
And then he like stops and goes down.
I am Iron Man.
Like Joe Biden tried to do that.
He doesn't have like the wherewithal to actually say words without a card in front of him or a teleprompter.
So he's like, they're like, just stick to the cards.
And he goes, come on man i read uh he had a couple of those really awkward meltdowns
i don't i know there's more in the press conference we want to talk about but the one that really
stuck out to him was the one that ended it he was he was talking and then he just like shut down and
he's like all right that's it and then just like left the stage yep i was like somebody it was like somebody got in his ear like all right joe time to go to bed yeah yeah
the black widow walks in yeah it's getting real low joe
so uh no it was it was actually kind of funny when he ended it he just like he's not he's not
with it man he was like all right but now I'm going to go.
Thanks.
And then just turns and walks off.
Just walked away.
Yeah.
It was like he pooped his pants.
He didn't know what else to say.
So he's like, I got to get out of here.
And he just ran off the stage.
Didn't that happen with Nadler?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He like waddled away or something.
And people were like, what just happened to that dude?
Yeah.
I don't know if that's a true story.
It was pretty obviously a load.
All right. But let's talk about political bias real quick. I don't know if that's a true story. It's pretty obviously a load.
All right.
But let's talk about political bias real quick.
We have this tweet that Lydia pulled up from Jennifer Rubin.
Oh, yeah.
And do you know who she is?
She's a Washington Post columnist and she's supposedly a conservative.
But she only ever praises Democrats. And I'm like, oh, there's one of those on every network, though.
And there's one, you know.
Right, right.
But so she tweets this story.
Opinion.
Biden excels at his first news conference.
The media embarrassed themselves.
I love it.
The media embarrassed themselves?
First of all, I've been saying that for four years.
Yeah, first of all.
So finally, thanks for joining the club.
But come on, listen.
I got no problem criticizing Trump if he deserves to be criticized when he was president.
The problem was people like Rubin and the media apparatus and these corporate powerful
interests were like, you know, Trump walks out on stage and waves and they're like,
Trump literally just did a Nazi salute.
It's like, yes, he's just he's waving to the crowd.
Dude, chill out.
That didn't happen.
Now you have Joe Biden.
And I said it was it was boring.
It wasn't the apocalypse, but he did have these gaffes.
We expected them. And now they're like, no, it was it was boring. It wasn't the apocalypse, but he did have these gaffes. We expected them.
And now they're like, no, it was the best conference ever.
And it's the media's fault.
These people have their noses so far up Joe Biden's ass.
Well, they're coming out his mouth.
Well, Twitter had top trending was like, did Joe?
And then I was like, oh, what's this?
Like, I was thinking I was like, did Joe really say that?
But no, it was all like, did Joe just conduct the most professional press conference ever and not insult any journalists and say anything misogynistic?
And I was like, look, okay.
Yes, he stood up there and he said some things.
And to be fair, they did ask him about the,companied unaccompanied minors thing a couple
of times my favorite joe joe gaff was him saying well i never said for them to come here i've never
said that i've been saying now is not a great time to come to america but i'm not gonna leave
him starve on the border like trump did. No, he lied.
Of course he lied.
He was like, nothing's changed.
The truth is nothing's changed.
The numbers are the same.
So I pulled up CNN of all sources.
And CNN was like, it is true.
The peak was during Trump.
And we're nowhere near those levels.
And it showed something really interesting.
The moment Joe Biden assumed office, the number of unaccompanied minors skyrockets from its lowest point in
10 years to its highest point in the past 40.
Well, to its second highest point in the past 10 years.
A journalist actually said that to him, though.
She said, I interviewed a nine-year-old whose mother told me that she sent him unaccompanied
and he walked all the way from Honduras by himself because mama told him that Papa Joe would not turn him away.
And then Joe was like – and Joe basically said like, well, I'm not going to let him starve.
So essentially he was confirming the message that he's not going to send them away.
But earlier in the press conference, he said, oh, we sent the vast – he said vast majority of them back.
That's something that – he said we sent the vast majority
of these people back you know which was utter baloney since he came in he he rescinded a bunch
of trump's rules the remaining uh the migrant protection protocols they called it remain in
mexico policy i'm pretty sure he ended that which is now resulting in people getting hotel rooms
so like the biden administration spent100 million or $86 million putting illegal immigrants
in hotel rooms.
Listen, man, I love humans.
I want these people to live rich, full lives.
What Biden is doing is not going to accomplish that.
It's going to serve the interests of major corporations and multinational industries
that want cheap surf labor from people who don't have rights in this country, don't have
access to like health care, don't have minimum wage protections.
And then what happens is these companies exploit this labor.
None of us like that.
We want people who are in this country legally and properly to have access to these jobs to work hard and succeed.
And that includes immigrants who come in the right way.
It includes asylum seekers. What they've done with the Democratic Party, with people like Joe Biden, is they've made it either you let them in wandering through the desert, sent off to who knows where, or you're racist.
Like you're a bigot.
You hate people.
It's like, no, dude, listen, they come to the border.
They say, here's my case.
We can only let in certain amounts of people because we don't have an infinite like we don't have replicators like in Star Trek or anything.
But they don't they don't want you to understand that resources are finite.
And you have a lot of these people on the left claiming scarcity ended a long time ago.
It's just not true.
We don't want carbon emissions to rise.
So we don't want more people coming into this country, right?
No, they don't agree with that either.
It's like, you're the ones who say we produce too much carbon.
Now you want to bring in a bunch of people to produce.
Like, America produces more than any of these other countries.
Not China.
Well, for sure. But I'm just pointing out the paradox oh right you know what i mean oh you mean the countries are coming from yeah they're saying that like we've got all these problems
you realize bringing all of these people in is going to result in a surf class it's going to
result in it's an underclass they're not going to be better served they're gonna be wandering
through the desert it's a disaster it is it's biden's fault did you hear how biden said he
would solve it?
He said, well, what we're going to do is we're going to put in streetlights.
See, what you got to do is you got to solve why they're leaving.
And so one nation wanted streetlights and we put in streetlights and crime plummeted.
And you know, it's crazy.
I heard that when they do blue streetlights, crime goes way down.
And when they do halogen, like the orange one, crime actually goes up.
Why? I buy that because there's a thing with how you color, you paint your walls and stuff like that.
I don't know. I was just reading something about
it. Because you know how when you're walking
through a city and the lights are kind of orange?
They switch them to, once switched
to blue and white lights, like colder
tones, and then crime dropped.
Interesting. That should just be a law then.
They should all be that color. They they should strobe they should flash they should
flash all colors of the rainbow discotheques everywhere yeah do it do it everywhere and
that'll that'll that'll deal with it yeah hey so before we move on i just wanted to say about the
jennifer rubin thing the byline on her article says reporters have shown why these events are
an utter waste of the president's time you see what they're doing here
right you completely get it she wants to be done with these pressers because they're so utterly
stop holding my president to any standard exactly stop it boom done donald trump we threw him in the
garbage chute joe biden don't you dare talk about joe biden he's right next to jesus christ you know
you know you know what the reality is, though?
These people desperately need Trump back.
So some people may have noticed.
I saw some people in chat,
and they were like,
Tim's going to be on Fox News in an hour.
And I'm like, no, I was on Fox News 20 minutes ago.
I saw it happen.
So that was actually,
I was on Fox News an hour ago.
And one of the things we talked about
was Donald Trump launching this new social network.
We have the story here from Axios. Scoop! Trump in talks with upstart launching this new social network we have the story here from axio scoop
trump in talks with upstart apps about new social network and so i'm talking to the guys at fox
and they're like you think they're gonna they nuked parlor right they destroyed parlor and it
was very obvious that it was coordinated do you think they're going to nuke donald trump's new
platform yes no you think they're not going to i think they're not going to? I think they're not going to.
I'm on TVN here.
Is it a proprietary software? You think they're going to?
I don't think it'll ever get off the ground.
I think he's toxic.
He can't.
He can't be involved in it.
You know why I disagree?
The media needs Trump.
Their ratings are in the gutter.
Their revenue is trash.
And they're freaking out about it.
And they're trying to find a villain.
CNN's like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
And everyone's like, who?
They got Ted Cruz.
Tucker Carlson.
Tucker Carlson.
And everyone's like, I don't watch Fox.
CNN's struggling to find their villain.
If Donald Trump launches this new app, they're going to be like, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Oh, no.
Oh, Trump.
If only could we have stopped this.
But it's a free country.
Oh, man.
We better write about every single thing he says again.
But Google and Apple don't need them.
They won't.
Yeah, I think I agree.
I wouldn't be surprised if what happens next is that they start claiming it's wrong of Google and Apple to censor.
It's too far.
As much as we don't like the president, it's too much.
Now, that path I'm interested in.
Did you see Bernie? Bernie came out. Exactly. And he was like, actually, we don't like the president it's too much if i'm not looking did you see bernie do bernie came out exactly and he was like actually i don't like but like four months before
he was like basically advocating for his deplatforming yeah we gotta get rid of this
guy and then i saw certain people who shall remain unnamed being like ah i knew my backing
bernie was good i'm like uh is this you bro like bernie like literally demanded what i'm saying
dude they're realizing they've lost their villain.
They need a villain.
Tucker's not good enough.
He's not.
Tucker, it's like, he's one guy with an opinion.
And they're like, but he's spreading misinformation.
But he's not the president.
He's not in government.
He just talks about stuff.
People don't care.
But Trump doesn't need to have a social network to be that guy.
He just needs to be on one.
Exactly. So, like, in my opinion, Trump.social would be a disaster.
Is that what they're calling it?
No, I don't know.
That's what Jeremy's calling it.
I mean, Trump puts his name on everything, so I would assume it would be like TR.MP or whatever he would do.
It would be awful.
But what he could do is he could you know parlors in my opinion basically dead
trump space yeah trump space yeah yeah yeah but he could he could buy parlor he does all he has
to do is join it though he doesn't need to spend a dime he just has to join it and 20 million people
will follow and he didn't and he knows do it but i know he knows it because he knows he's worth money he's a businessman and so he's thinking i'll do my own thing and i'll own it
yeah but i mean he's got that buddy lindell who's got a ton of money um i don't trump's a billionaire
yeah i don't even know if that's enough money to start one and go against silicon valley right now
it is he could do it listen with the fediverse you're familiar with the fediverse yep trump could easily create an
open source fediverse app boom trump trump space does he have the people around him though because
this is the guy that said ban section 230 to repeal section 230 repeal it that showed me he
didn't know what the frick he was talking about like does he even have people around him because
if he had good people around him he would have joined parlor that was it was really frustrating or or my well mine's yeah or i mean
yeah i'm not gonna mention the other one there's another one he could have joined too gab yeah
yeah well the section 230 thing was interesting torvald the the section 230 andrew torres section
230 thing was interesting because a lot of conservatives were basically saying, I don't care if Donald Trump nukes social media, destroys it for everybody because we are already getting suppressed anyway.
And I'm like, that's not what would happen.
They were blackpilled, though.
If you get rid of Section 230, then Facebook goes, oh, no.
Oh, they've got rid of.
Oh, geez.
What do we do?
I guess we can only just choose to curate our platforms.
Here are the far leftists we think are good for you. Then you'd get 10 channels.
Would have gotten 100 times worse.
Yeah, 100 times worse. Any semblance of any conservative value,
moderate or traditional liberal would be purged. And it would be hardcore socialist,
woke 10 year olds or whatever.
But do you know what my mini rantanting coming sorry but my number one most disappointing
thing about the trump presidency is not that he delivered he didn't deliver on several things
that he promised because every president doesn't do that like his wall thing was never going to
happen because i think he did deliver on the wall well he if he had four more years he might have
been able to really see it through but the the fund, regardless. They built secure bollard fencing in key areas, and that satisfied Trump supporters.
Yes, it did.
Not me, though.
Not me.
I wanted it like full turrets.
Alligators and moats.
They accused Trump.
This is the stupidest story ever.
They were like, Trump asked for moats with alligators.
I'm like, no, he didn't.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
If you believe that, I got a bridge to sell you. Trump asked for moats with alligators. I'm like, no, he didn't. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
If you believe that, I got a bridge to sell you. Yeah, but he had four years to worry about social media.
And I'm bringing Ted Cruz here too.
These dudes, we all,
I'm not talking about the people in this room,
but I've fallen for it too,
where I'm like, yeah, Ted Cruz,
take it to Jack Dorsey in these Zoom meetings.
And then they don't do like today.
They never do anything.
They don't do anything.
And then Trump had four years.
And then when he realized he was going to lose the election, suddenly he remembered about reforming Section 230.
It was too damn late.
And I was like, dude.
He had bad people around him.
Yeah, apparently.
I think he did.
It was like, I guess Kushner was saying, don't join these other websites.
Yep.
I heard that he had shut down Gab. I think he did. It was like, I guess Kushner was saying, don't join these other websites. Yep. I heard that he had shut down Gab.
I think he was enjoying one other site.
And Kushner was like, no, I don't do that.
Parler, I think.
Yeah, Parler.
You don't want to do that.
Remember he got all those tech guys together?
And he was like, I'm going to form a technology unit in the White House.
And Elon came for like three days.
He was like, I'm out of here.
Right.
He's like, what am I even doing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I said it, man.
The Republicans were too stupid to solve this problem to save their own careers.
Yep, and it's too late.
And they ended up losing in 2018, and they gained some back in 2020.
But this was one of the biggest plays.
If you lock everybody in their homes so they can't go to the bar, they can't go to the store, they can't go out,
and then the only place they can interact with people is on social media,
but the social media companies have excised half of the country's political opinions.
You are forcing people down a very narrow path where the only interactions they have
with people are based on their ideologies.
This was, you know, you combine the censorship with the pandemic, and it was the perfect
storm to purge conservatives.
And I think trump could have i think trump would have gotten
85 million votes if in 2016 when the news was starting to come out if they actually started
taking action in 2018 when stories went huge when i'm sitting there with jack dorsey if trump just
paid attention and said do this now then it would have been inverted it would have been trump 80
million biden 74 yeah but instead i agree a lot of people because remember that guy
what was his name robert uh was it robert epstein is that his name yeah the researcher yeah he said
google fortunate name yeah he said he said there's a lot of people's name but he said google is
directing people to news and they are flipping millions of votes from republican and democrat
by what they're showing people and he's like i have the data and still after these hearings you know what man we'll just fine you with an fcc no no like it's it's hard i'll give
a shout out to ted cruz because he's doing more than literally anyone else but then i'll slam him
for just like what are you not doing anything they don't have a plan well they're grandstanding and
i was talking about this earlier and the my my that the government, you know, and I may be uneducated on this.
I might be the one thing I don't know everything about.
Just the one thing.
Yeah.
But like the FCC will hit them with like, what, 500 million in fines.
Where does that money go, right?
So the government milks all this money out of Google and Facebook for antitrust, right?
But what the hell do they do with it?
It's like a viable income source for them, for them to exist.
It's like hush money.
I turned on the news today, and I'm watching this Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg.
He's a skinhead now.
Shaved his head.
Confirmed neo-Nazi.
Shaved his head.
Yeah.
I disagree with Jack Dorsey's well,
I don't know. You know, I think
they do this
every few months where they go in there
and they pretend like they care. The
politicians pretend like they care. Yep.
And then, like you said, man, people fall for it.
And they're like, oh, look at this hearing.
And I'm like, nothing happened. Remember
Trey Gowdy? He would go viral
on these epic takedowns of people.
And then, like, still nothing would happen.
It's performative.
Yeah.
It's meant to placate and appease you while nothing gets done.
And it's been that way for a long time.
And that's why one of the reasons people like Trump.
Because Trump would just walk in and go, excuse me, excuse me.
No, no, I'm talking.
And they're like, finally, just do something.
Throw a pie.
I don't care. No, no, I'm talking. And they're like, finally, just do something. Throw a pie. I don't care.
It's like you see
these congressional hearings
and it's like,
we're not censoring people.
You're censoring people.
We're not censoring people.
You're censoring people.
Thank you and have a nice day.
Have a nice day.
They're good at calling out
the problems, apparently,
like Ted Cruz,
all these dudes.
But they don't have a plan
to replace the situation.
They don't know what to do.
They don't want to plan.
No, they don't want to fix it.
They're not smart enough to or something.
No, they don't care.
We need a technologist in charge right now.
I'll tell you what happens.
These Republicans.
Who's our chief technology czar?
That's a position, right?
We have a guy.
Bill Ottman.
Listen, listen, listen.
Not your czar.
These politicians wake up and the Democrat gets out of bed and he goes,
he looks at his watch.
What's honey?
What's today?
You're doing the hearing with the guys from the social media.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What am I?
Am I a Democrat?
You're a Democrat.
OK, I'm going to pretend like they're spread misinformation.
Then he gets in there, goes, you're spreading misinformation.
And then once it's all over and they hang up.
So sorry to yell at you, but understand right have my campaign i'm gonna go
order pizza and beer i i can't even remember what we talked about this the antitrust laws don't work
with uh modern technology because if you break the company if you broke facebook up into instagram
facebook messenger facebook prime for instance and zuckerberg still owned whatever 40 of each
company he's still gonna have the ability to make the terms
of service for each of these new companies and maintain his wealth and power and influence.
And in my opinion, the antitrust laws are just a revenue stream for the government.
They're not really interested in protecting the people or protecting free speech.
They're like, okay, the EU hit Google with a $55 billion or $50 billion fine a few years
ago for some data.
They care.
Now they have so much money that it's like there's no incentive to fix the problem
when you can keep printing money.
I'm sorry.
I've got to stop you there.
The big tech companies absolutely care about the people with millions of dollars in their bank accounts.
Well, yes, right.
All seven of them.
They care about them deeply.
They care about those people.
Yeah, yeah.
But they care about people, just not you. Not all
the people. Yeah, clearly not all of them.
If we're not making $100,000 a year, are you really a person?
Yeah, I mean, yeah. Not until you
incorporate. Yeah, right?
No, but they don't even care about the people making $100,000.
Yeah, that's nothing. Dude, no joke.
No joke. I've heard the story over and over again.
You try calling your representative
and they'll answer
if you get through. But I'll tell you this.
You're worth a couple million dollars.
They'll be calling you.
Yep, that's a fact.
That's how it works.
I will say this at the risk of – this is an unintended flex.
But I have gotten calls from local politicians.
Yeah, yeah, me too.
I like that.
And I was like, eat a dick.
You know what I mean?
No.
You didn't care about me before.
My opinions haven't changed, really.
In fact, they've gotten more strict than they were before.
But it's frustrating because you had, man, Parler had such a high ceiling for a week.
For a week.
When they banned Trump, if Trump if trump was if any if trump had
anybody around him and he created an account on parlor it would have been instantly viable
even if they got banned we have new uh information coming out about parlor which proves in my opinion
all right so i'm not saying it's literal evidence in a court of law i'm saying after seeing this i
am personally convinced that big tech colluded to destroy a competitor period check this out but you knew that before
this right but it was like before this it was i'm pretty sure that's what they're doing yeah okay
okay now we know their entire pretext was just absolute trash we assumed it was check this out
the wall street journal reports parlor says it informed fbi of violent content before the Capitol riot months before
social media platform tells House committee has been unfairly targeted by big tech. They say
Parler in December began alerting the bureau to content, suggesting the possibility of violence
at the Capitol as Congress met to confirm Biden's victory. The company wrote in a letter to the
House Oversight and Reform Committee, which is investigating Parler and its role in the siege.
The site referred to a number of posts, referred a number of posts to law enforcement, including
one on December 24th, from a user who called for an armed force of 150,000 people to react
to the congressional events of January 6th, according to the letter, which included the
post and communications with FBI officials among its exhibits and has been reviewed by
the Wall Street Journal.
Mic drop.
They said Parler is hosting these dangerous people and facilitating this.
They're doing nothing to stop it.
They're doing nothing.
The reality is Jack Dorsey would have stopped them.
They were doing more than Facebook does because the reality is these people were actually
organizing on Facebook.
And we know that's a fact.
And even the Washington Post and leftists have started calling out Zuckerberg.
In fact, in the hearing today, you had one guy, I can't remember which guy it was, but
he was like, Mr. Zuckerberg, do you take responsibility for what happened or some responsibility
for what happened on January 6th?
And Zuckerberg's like, it's a very complex, it's a very nuanced.
And he's like, he said, yes or no.
Do you take responsibility?
Jack Dorsey said, yes. I knew he too because he that's that's the right answer is no though do you take responsibility yeah of course the answer is no why i think the answer is yes
individual responsibility individual responsibility matters like why do these guys never push that
it's true like just because he used my platform i that didn't make them go break the law you know
that that should be the argument that these people are making.
But Jack Dorsey, you're right.
Virtue signaled, right?
I'm a me so sorry.
Actually, right now, in record time, I would like to apologize for my Asian joke.
No, no, no.
I personally requested it.
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
I don't know if I'm Asian enough for them to actually...
Hashtag stop Asian hate. Oh, okay. Thank you. I don't know if I'm Asian enough for them to actually- I don't know. Hashtag stop Asian hate.
That's right.
But the-
I mean, like, yeah.
I'm not surprised.
But these dudes, I think they're looking at it financially.
Like, 50 million fine if I say I'm sorry.
100 million fine if I say I'm not.
But no one's going to go after them.
Right?
So Parler was obliterated.
Just absolutely obliterated.
It was nuked.
It's dead.
It's not coming back.
Never.
They brought it back, and the momentum is gone.
Yeah.
They needed to stop the growth because it was going to displace Twitter because as more
and more conservatives were leaving and joining Parler, and it was critical mass.
They were going to get to like 30 million or 40 million within a week.
But think about this.
That means on Twitter, everything becomes boring.
When Trump became active in his presidential campaign, users started going up.
People started joining Twitter.
All of a sudden, there was something to tweet about.
Twitter knows that they've created an addictive rage machine.
That's why they've never gotten rid of the retweet counts or follower counts.
They know what it does to people, but they want it.
How many followers did Trump have when he got yeeted?
80 million or 50 million?
Yeah, 80 million something.
Yeah, so you know half of them at least.
Now, let's say 20% of them follow him to a new platform.
Okay.
Congratulations, new platform.
You have 15 million users.
I just did some research on Twitter is about to use AWS, Amazon Web Service.
Right.
Which is what they always use.
They may have, but as of December.
No, they've got a contract with them.
And that was one of the arguments that Parler was a competitor to Twitter.
Twitter signed a big deal with Amazon.
Twitter did.
And they got scared.
And so they were like, take Parler off your servers because they're competing with us.
Wow.
And if we lose to Parler, then you guys lose our our business and facebook's not on aws they have their own infrastructure
you know my server's doing it i imagine google also has their own servers i it's it's it's
remarkable we we know what's happening but i think the problem is we need to wake more people up to
what's happening and the media is really good at indoctrinating people i suppose i should be
a bit more optimistic because their ratings are in the gutter. They're collapsing. No, I'll tell you this. For
all you guys that are listening to this podcast, I want you to know the ratings for this show
are improving. Now, the live show isn't getting as much as it was a few months ago, but the segments
are getting more. So I think it's an issue of people working, having different schedules and
looking for different things. But overall, we are doing better than ever on Timcast IRL. This is good news. I'm
optimistic. CNN's in the gutter, desperate for a villain. Our villain here is always the
establishment. So no matter what happens, we're pointing out the corruption. But I'll tell you
this. If at any point we become that media establishment, we just have to make sure as
long as we're being the honest one
straightforward then that's a good thing if we become the establishment right now we're the
outsiders pointing it and saying these people are lying and cheating and stealing they want power
we're kind of like the sega genesis of 1991 like you remember sega came out and nes was killing it
then you mean master system well no no then the Then the Sega Genesis came out after the NES before the Super Nintendo.
This is not a good analogy.
They were kind of like the side girl.
I don't want to collapse.
But then the Super NES came out and grabbed the mainstream.
They had all the money.
Sega didn't really have the money.
But Sega was the better product, in my opinion.
I think Sega makes games now.
That's it.
Yeah, they're on PlayStation.
So we're like the Sega. No, we don't want to super nintendo the nintendo is the mainstream and we're like
coming up on with better tech station yeah we want to we want to we want to displace takeover
and then make gta 5 and then once it goes live online we stop working and it just becomes the
same game for five or six years sounds great we have to start making cd-roms then no what we need
to do is we need to we need our our own ISP. We need to share...
Yes, we need infrastructure.
Because the way they were able to blow up Parler was by going after AWS, going after the servers.
Gab is doing all of that.
But we also need people to use these platforms.
So that means there needs to be more than just telling people we need to do it.
There needs to be an actual incentive.
Which is why I was talking earlier about doing shows. Here's what I want to do. Imagine you have media and social media all
rolled into one. Let's say we make a website where it's like we get comedians like Ryan Long,
you know, to produce content. We have original shows. You sign up, you get access to these shows,
ad free with membership, things like that. But then on those sites is also federated social media,
meaning if you log in and sign up for this website, it connects you with a social network
for all these other websites. And there's an app where you can sign in and follow whoever you want.
Instead of following at Timcast on Twitter, you'd follow something like Tim at whatever.com,
whatever the website is. You'd get an account that would be like John Doe at Timcast.com or
whatever. And that's what you would follow. You say would be like, you know, John Doe at Timcast.com or whatever.
And that's what you would follow.
You say, oh, yeah, follow my account.
I'm a member over at, you know, Timcast.
I love it.
And you would.
So but then you're signing to a place where you're getting content.
So we're creating an actual incentive model.
Why should someone sign up for this social platform?
Because you get great standup comedy, because you get great news and great documentary and great conversations.
And you could have an app store built into it, like a decentralized app store.
We need a decentralized app store for sure.
They exist.
You can download other app stores.
The problem is incentive models.
People have no reason to use anything other than Google's app store.
It's just easy and everybody uses it.
People got no reason to use Gab because everybody's on Twitter or Facebook.
Everybody's on Facebook.
It's hard to get people to do it just because it's the right thing to do or because it's moral.
It's almost like you need like an emergency, like something to whip people into change.
What we need to do is we need to play small pieces of candy on the road that lead to a box with a stick so that people go, ooh, piece of candy.
So crypto.
Ooh, piece of candy.
Like if you could get paid for using –
Pull it and trap a piece of candy.
Like if you got paid for using an app store – No, no, no. Dude. I, piece of candy. Like if you could get paid for using. Pull it and trap a piece of candy. Like if you got paid for using an app store.
No, no, no.
Dude.
I think that's awful.
Well, like mines, you can stake your crypto on mines now and make crypto.
Listen.
Just by having your crypto on mines.
I think, let's, okay.
That staking is interesting, but I'm sick and tired.
Since MySpace, I don't know if you remember this, Jeremy.
There was a website that popped up around the MySpace days that was identical, but they
paid you if you used it.
And what they were doing was called.
No, I don't remember.
But they were like, you got to use this.
I remember it was red.
And they were like, sign up for this one because they split the ad revenue with you.
And so if you browse it, you might make like 50 to 100 bucks a month just from using the
site.
And I'm like, dude, that doesn't work because people don't are attracted to the idea of
like a get rich quick scheme. YouTube works because there's a legitimate. Whoa, whoa, whoa, dude, that doesn't work because people aren't attracted to the idea of a get-rich-quick scheme.
YouTube works because there's a legitimate structure.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
YouTube works.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Let me just stop you there.
Are you saying people aren't attracted to get-rich-quick schemes?
Regular people are not going to sign up for a service.
Amway, literally every MLM ever.
How many people are in MLMsms what do you think a couple million
probably mlm it's it's what is it it is a tiny pyramid of the population people hate it they are
mocked they are belittled and no one trusts it so when you have a social media site there's a bunch
of these crypto sites where they're like if you post your video here you can earn crypto money
and i'm like that makes no sense simply by watching it crypto is where they're like, if you post your video here, you can earn crypto money. And I'm like, that makes no sense. Simply by watching it, crypto is generated. I'm like, dude,
what's backing your currency? It's no different than fiat, in my opinion. It's just a nebulous
value. Now, Bitcoin makes sense to me for a variety of reasons, confidence being a big one,
but the new technology. Generating revenue because your video gets views and you can't explain to me
where that value comes from and who's giving you the money
for it the money the mind so it was interesting today i was i made a post on mines i was like i
want to spend 2.5 tokens to boost it to 2500 people and i was like i don't want to spend the
tokens because they're worth 70 cents each or whatever the point is and i was like ah and i
just did it i was like yeah let me ask you this why currency why isn't any other video platform
displacing youtube it's simple odyssey's about
it looks like it's simple it's not going to it's decentralized things oh displaced maybe not
there's two things stopping it google subsidizes youtube's infrastructure which is too expensive
billions and then they split advertising revenue it's not profitable it's a great model well the
way it works is that let me use a little day job knowledge here.
All YouTube is
is the same thing as this.
The reason Android has phones is for
what? To serve ads.
That's the only reason
Android phones exist. Google
serves ads on their phones.
Google serves ads on YouTube. In the Play Store.
On Search. Play Store. Everywhere.
It's to get access to attention so they can sell ads.
It's about extending their network for ads.
This is why Facebook and Google have had massive internet access projects.
Right.
Where they're trying, like, you know, they did Project Loon where they sent balloons up.
Yeah, Facebook.
They want everyone online so they can sell more ads.
But let me just try to take you back off the crypto cliff here. Ian, help
me out. I don't think
that viewing
various interchangeable
cryptos like fiat is
great. I think
for example, Odyssey.
I've told you offline
how much I earned on Odyssey.
Do I know how it all worked? No.
But I don't need to know how the sausage is made.
Like an MLM.
It isn't like an MLM.
I think so.
Well,
I'm not investing any money.
The crypto is generated when the processor power from how I understand it.
When these videos are rendered and it generates more tokens,
ultra low IQ take.
But the thing is, if we don't back crypto is the only viable
alternative to ads let's talk about some of these like you know crypto generating video sites
when they say you've earned more than just odyssey yes oh when they say you've earned a hundred
dollars okay who gives you a hundred dollars like how how do you get a hundred dollars out of that right now
they'll deposit crypto tokens in your wallet yeah i right okay so so then how did you turn that
crypto into the dollars they can go to like metamask and then sell them trade for ethereum
and then go take your theory into coinbase i transferred out let me tell you this i i
transferred out 44 000 in library tokens from Odyssey. To where? My PayPal account.
Where did the money come from?
Bittrex. I transferred it to Bittrex.
Bittrex transferred it to USD and I got the money.
Whose USD was that?
Well, people who invested in the currency, I imagine.
Why would they invest in the currency?
Yeah, people that buy the token. Speculation?
Yeah.
The Mines token actually has a function
as well. It's speculation and you can
spend it for a thousand views i'll tell you i'll tell you my problem is somebody makes a a site
where they're like we're gonna generate crypto and what they don't tell you is that for every
crypto generated they get a portion of it and all they're really doing is they're creating a
sometimes sometimes not all of them mines isn't doing that mines doesn't do that i don't know
the amount of money i would get from from so i'm so I'm one of the biggest accounts on one of these websites or whatever.
And they're like, look how much money you have in there.
And I'm like, it is a tiny fraction of what I make on YouTube, a microscopic fraction.
But then your position is that unless it can totally replace my earnings on YouTube, it's not worth my time.
That's not what I said.
I said this is why they will never displace YouTube.
Well, they don't have to displace it.
They have to take 10% of it, 15% of it 15 of it that's that's how the mindset
you have to have this is incremental we eat their lunch we don't eat their
dinner and their breakfast so you support these crypto look i'm not i'm
saying i'm sure you can bring one on you can't tell me where your money's coming
from you're putting your eggs in a dangerous basket with no bottom okay
let's talk businessman to businessman though you put your
you you take eight minutes to mirror your videos on odyssey hypothetically i didn't even do it
somebody else did it all my videos just appear on there right i heard about that but let's say
hypothetically right i obviously so everyone knows i don't work for odyssey i don't odyssey
doesn't pay me anything anything right i'm on mines i'm on bit shoot and i'm on odyssey rumble
no i'm not on rumble and mines generates tokens bit shoot i don't believe does and odyssey does
and i keep getting told i get these emails from these companies and they're like have you looked
how much money you've already made from these sites and i'm like bro what money for who and why
like are you telling me that you created a money printing machine that you decide how it prints money?
And then you're telling me I should trade your hot potato for cash?
With YouTube, I know exactly where the money is coming from.
You obtained zero risk, though, Tim.
I know.
So I'm signed up on these sites and I'm like, sure, whatever.
So I logged into Odyssey and I had 250,000 wackadoodle tokens.
I don't understand crypto.
It's the library token.
The library is the company that owns Odyssey.
Right.
I don't understand crypto.
And I know you should really bring a crypto expert on because I think they would change your mind.
Because I'm ill-equipped to tell you.
I've been following Bitcoin since 2011 and the various cryptocurrencies.
But then why would you have that opinion about library tokens if you understand Bitcoin?
Maybe because I know more about it than you do.
What's the next big one?
Ethereum, right?
Ethereum is one of the most revolutionary technologies we've had in a long time.
So when I cash out a Bitcoin, whose money is that?
When you cash out a Bitcoin, what you're looking at with Bitcoin is, first and foremost, first in best dressed and institutional confidence.
But whose money is that?
That's a question.
It's not a reserve of library tokens.
Investors.
Okay, so isn't that true for library tokens?
Yes.
The problem is...
So what's the difference?
Who controls library tokens?
Like who's printing them?
They might be being mined.
I don't think they're...
I'm going to avoid this for legal reasons.
Okay, fine.
I am not talking now about any particular company.
All right, let's just talk about crypto in general.
But I know many people who are involved in crypto.
I know Bill Ottman and Ian, for instance, and they do mines.
And I know several other high-profile computer tech specialists and hackers who told me some of these sites are legit Ponzi schemes.
It's probably true.
So listen, with Bitcoin, I understand Bitcoin.
Cryptocurrency is an amazing asset.
And this is true for any, but we call them ish coins for a reason.
Ethereum and Bitcoin, in my opinion, are paramount.
Just because they're the most valuable, though.
No, absolutely not.
Ethereum is smart contracts.
It's revolutionary technology.
It allowed for the formation of ERC-20 tokens, which created websites like Odyssey's capabilities.
And they need to use the Ethereum network for these things to function.
Bitcoin can also do this kind of, but smart contracts don't work as well on Bitcoin.
They're updating it.
Ultimately.
Right, right.
They're constantly trying to update it.
Ultimately, Bitcoin was, is digital gold, an opportunity for a hard asset that can't
be replicated.
And that was the first time.
Who controls it?
A decentralized network.
I'm not worried about
who's mining the tokens i'd like to have some these other companies have proprietary control
in many circumstances where some dude sitting in his bedroom controls what's going on and he's
funneling a bunch of tokens to himself convincing you it's a good investment that way when you
produce content for his site then all of a sudden now he says see it's valuable because jeremy
produces content for my site then he sells out his tokens yes it makes a ton of that's happened a lot that happens a lot
right especially with the icos the initial coin offerings was a whole lot of scamming going on
you see it in the white papers if you read the white papers i have no problem with syncing my
content to a decentralized network and a torrent network that will clone my videos but i am not
going to spend any time focusing on developing these platforms where at any moment the bottom could fall out and it's just but what's your exposure what's your exposure
if it falls out is what my question is if you set your business up to be on a platform it could be
your entire company yeah but that's not what i'm saying i pull my money out right every month well
not really now because i pulled out basically everything it's also not easy to pull your money
out it took me eight minutes.
Not me.
I've had these people email me several times and they're like, you have to go through each individual video of your 3,000 videos.
Yes, that happened with Odyssey with me.
I did email them and I say, what the hell?
And they unlocked it for me.
But yes, because you and I are different.
We had such huge amounts.
You can't just unlock them like 250,000 tokens. I tried many
times. It failed. But I did email them
and I said, you need to unlock this all. I have a problem
with much of this cryptocurrency.
I have no crypto, by the way.
So everyone knows. I'm not a crypto investor.
Ethereum is revolutionary technology.
Bitcoin is revolutionary
technology. But Bitcoin was first in best
dressed and provides a
value. Was that 60k now
it well it's been up in 55 i think yeah i have zero please send me one i have seen this since
the dawn of crypto when i used to go on some of these websites and you had hundreds of what we
call you know ish coins s coins and they've many of them have gone defunct and i've seen companies
rise and fall so when i see a fly by night, we cloned this protocol, we cloned this chain, join us, I'm like, why?
I don't disagree with you, but library is not a fly-by-night token.
It's been around for several years.
Do you know the origin of library and their initial plans?
Nope.
Not good.
And I had conversations with them, and then one day my account just happened to be on that platform.
And I was like, I don't know why that happened.
Hey, one of your own employees put it on there, though.
I'm pretty sure.
Yeah, it was one of your marketing managers.
What?
That's what I was told.
Yeah, I was told.
Nothing nefarious.
I don't have a marketing manager.
Or at the time, or whoever it was.
I've never had one.
Someone that was working for you.
Well, I don't want to turn this into a shilling for Odyssey.
My apologies.
I'm just saying I don't know how I ended up on that platform.
I'm not saying anyone did anything wrong.
There's multiple ways to make crypto.
You can mine it or you can create it.
Just create it.
And what mines did is just created them.
They're not mining them.
They're ERG20 tokens.
If you read the white paper, you see what they're going to do with the tokens.
They're not giving them to the executives.
A lot of companies will create them and then give 20% to the people that started it.
Those are like pump and dumps.
Those are dangerous because then they're going to try and pump the value and sell out.
Doge did that.
Tron, I would imagine. I don't want to spit on on tron justin if that's not what you're doing but i think they did that one of the guys sold out on tron but once what so you
got to read the white paper that's the first step if you really want to know if the crypto is legit
or not read the white paper and they'll tell you imagine chat's going freaking bananas right now. Also, is it tied to a value other than just nothing?
My original idea.
A hope and a dream.
My original idea was that.
Well, like mine's token, you can get views on a network with it.
It's super cool.
Here was my original idea.
I talked to Bill about this, jeez, like eight years ago.
Was it eight years ago?
It was a long time ago.
I said, you create a media network that people can buy tokens with. Tokens are exchanged
for advertising on the site. So imagine if in order to buy Google ads, you needed a Google token.
Yeah. The reason why this would work is because the secondary value would be determined by the
power of the ads not set by Google. So what happened is you were like, I want to advertise
on Timcast. All right. Well, I say it's a hundred tokens to run an ad on Timcast. Then you have to buy those on a secondary
market or I can sell, or I can sell the ones I already have that you give me. Let's say initially
I only get a thousand views per video. So a hundred tokens costs you a buck because you're
not really going to get much for it. Then one day it's still a hundred tokens to buy an ad. You're getting 100,000 views. Now people are trying to buy up as many tokens as
possible because they know it'll get you access to 100,000 views. And they're giving me those
tokens I can sell back on the market. It creates a secondary market for advertising buys.
Only with a fixed number of tokens. Because the value of the tokens doesn't change if you can
print them on demand. Only based on how much inventory you have.
Yeah, yeah.
So if it turns out you can get 100,000 views, but everything's constantly bought up, the value drops because nobody can buy the ad space.
So it reaches a point of equilibrium.
Oh, interesting.
That doesn't limit Bitcoin because we're mining that.
What we have now are companies who are like, you got 1,000 views.
That turned into $300.
And I'm looking at some of these networks where it's like a dude makes a video gets 300 views and it says it's three hundred dollars and i'm like dude
somebody's on steam steam it i'm not calling i'm not talking about anybody that thing ended up
falling apart steam yeah i'm not talking about any anybody or any company in specific i think
they got bought up um their token was like seven bucks at one point uh my goal my goal is just to get tim to get less blackpilled on these all my
my here's here's why i stumped for these various alt networks that have never made me any money
is that it costs me zero to support an alternative i don't disagree with it yeah that's all i want
that's all i want plus i think that's all i want for you tim i'm just found how you said you're
not gonna see me get past ads.
I mean, it's there.
It's one way to get past.
There are a bunch of other social networks that are like, you should join up with us and move all of your subscribers.
And yeah, fuck.
And I'm like, I'm going to make my own website.
I'm going to make my own website and people can sign up for that, that I can control.
No one can ban me.
There's no there's no hidden you know bs behind the scenes
or whatever and i'm gonna understand what's going on and grow from there too many people are trying
to exploit big channels and this wave to make money he's right yeah you're right i get those
emails i get those emails i used to get those emails in 2007 let me say this one quick thing
because i know we're off the rails and then we then we've got to talk about Emily Radjikowski and her hating her own son. It's Aaron.
What was that guy's video?
You know, with...
How's that go?
Yeah, you...
It's Thicke.
Alan Thicke.
Oh, Alan Thicke.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She was in that video.
No, what I want to say is
I'm going to tell a story
in the members-only portion of this stream
about somebody who tries to take advantage
of big channels.
Somebody everyone in this room knows. You're going to get
sued for it? Nope. Nope.
Alright, alright. So, looks like we're going to
have a spicy members only segment.
Yeah, there you go.
Questionable.
Alright, we got to talk about Emily
Ratajkowski.
Great set. Great set.
Crypto conversation is amazing. Alright, my friends set. Listen, the first thing... Great set. Crypto conversation's amazing, by the way.
All right, my friends, my friends.
The first thing I want to say is that we have the story from Vogue.
Emily Radekowski talks about how she essentially despised her own husband and son,
and it is some of the creepiest trash I've ever seen from a woke cultist.
This woman, wow, is it scary what she's saying about her own kid
and the guy who gave her the kid.
But I will say, listen.
Filthy white guy.
If you like Emily Radjkowski, I'm not a fan.
She's made a career off of like whenever some tragedy happens, she posts a nude.
And I'm like, I get it.
Thank you.
People like, yeah, sure.
Great.
People like looking at a naked lady.
I get it.
But I'm just like, I think it's kind of kind of look if you want to be an instagram model and she's been in
movies though was she in a bond film she's been in a few movies i don't know look i saw that robin
video and i was like she is so hot i'm just i kept every picture i see where she looks miserable i'm
like oh but listen listen beautiful i'm trying to point out i got no beef you like
the lady by all means that's your that's your your thing for me not my thing that's fine i like the
instagram models that aren't shoving politics down my throat and telling me they hate their
white husbands you know what i'm saying so like if you want if you want good luck if you want to
get naked on instagram and you want to you know you know post racy photos and be really sexy and
all stuff i enjoy it i love it uh the issue however is when you do it when there's like a school shooting and then you're like i i'm gonna
get naked maybe she didn't do that though i'm not saying her i'm saying i'm just giving like i'm
being hyperbolic i'm not saying she did that i'm just pointing out the stump for a stupid hollywood
you know to bring attention to like a tragedy they'll get naked and be like look there are a
few people that this matters yeah
exactly yeah and they'll do really weird like there's i don't even want to get in some of the
creepy things some of these people do but take us out from vogue emily regkowski on pregnancy and
why she doesn't want to reveal the gender of her baby all right well let's read the first like
let's read the first paragraph and then i want to show you the craziest part part of this she says when my
she says when my husband and I tell friends I'm pregnant their first question after congratulations
is almost always do you know what you want we like to respond that we won't know the gender
until our child is 18 let us know then everyone laughs at this there is a truth to our line
though one that hints at possibilities that are much more complex
than whatever genitalia our child might be born with. The truth that we ultimately have no idea
who rather than what is growing inside my belly. Who will this person be? What kind of person
will we become parents to? How will they change our lives and who we are? It's a wondrous and
terrifying concept, one that renders us both helpless and
humbled. I just want to pause. Your child becomes what you raise it to be. When you place your child
in certain environments, when you tell your child certain things, they become like you. They imitate
you. How is it that we're in this place now where people are like, I'm going to have a kid and I
have no idea what the kid will end up thinking or believing? I don't know why. So interesting how
kids tend to have the same religion as their parents.
How did that happen?
Magic, I guess.
Why do you think, Lydia?
It's because they're following the blank slate theory.
They're following constructivism and they think that everyone is born with absolutely
no inclinations or tendencies in the society around them shapes them to be whatever.
You guys ready for this?
Interesting.
Here we go.
My friend who is the mother
to a three-year-old boy
tells me that she didn't think
she cared about gender
until her doctor broke the news
that she was having a son.
She burst into tears
in her office.
What a terrible thing.
And then I continued to cry
for a whole month,
she says, matter-of-factly.
After a difficult birth experience,
she developed postpartum depression
and decided that she resented her husband more than she'd ever imagined possible.
So I'll clarify.
I misconstrued what I read earlier.
She's talking about somebody else.
So it's not her.
She told me that she particularly hated and she made an actual physical list that she kept in her journal, editing it daily, how peacefully he slept.
There is nothing worse than the undisturbed sleep of a white man
in a patriarchal world she shakes her head it was hard to come to terms with the fact that i was
bringing another white man into the world but now i adore him and can't imagine it any other way
she also eventually learned to love her husband again the sound of his perfect sleep next to her
at night is now tolerable oh just tolerable
well that's a that's a i'll clarify i was wrong i i when i first read this paragraph i mistakenly
assumed it was coming from emily herself she's telling a story about somebody else and i realized
she she had written this about the news will do that she's probably talking about herself though
she doesn't have a three-year-old yeah i have Yeah, I have a lot of friends that have done some bad things. But hold on, but hold on. We're not done yet.
She says, despite my apprehensions about having a boy, when I call my best friend to tell
her I'm pregnant, we both immediately agree on our shared instinct.
I'm carrying a boy.
I'm picturing a dark-haired son, my friend tells me over FaceTime.
I don't know why.
I can just see it.
I nod and study the red fabric of my couch, trying to imagine a baby boy's tiny body lying next to my thigh.
I thought she said she won't know the gender of her son until it's 18.
I hate this.
She changes her tunes.
I hate all of this.
Everyone has opinions on what to expect from a boy or a girl.
Boys develop slower.
They're more work than girls as toddlers, but they love their mom so much.
One friend tells me girls mature faster but are so sensitive.
It sounds like she's talking about biological sex differences.
It sounds like she wanted to abort her baby because it was a boy.
It sounds like she at least considered it.
She's not talking about how difficult girls are.
She's saying that, oh, God, a boy.
Man, oh.
Man, let's just take a couple of pills.
Here, when she's writing about what people say about boys and how they develop, she's criticizing the idea of biological sex differences.
She says, I don't necessarily fault anyone for these generalizations.
A lot of our life experiences are gendered, and it would be dishonest to try and deny
the reality of many of them.
But I don't like that we force gender-based preconceptions onto people, let alone babies.
I want to be a parent who allows my child to show themselves to me. And yet I realize that while I
may hope my child can determine their own place in the world, they will, no matter what, be faced
with the undeniable constraints and constructions of gender before they can speak of, hell, even be
born.
I don't think it's the worst article in the world, to be completely honest.
I disagree with her, but I can respect at least she recognizes there are some legitimate differences between boys and girls.
The problem is there are stark differences.
It is fair when she points out a lot of the things we tell to our kids are based on social
constructs.
This is true.
Like you decide to give a kid certain things.
However, boys still gravitate towards certain things spatial awareness type projects construction
building and and young girls towards uh social which is why they're like dolls because it's
like communication i mean boys have action figures but they they play with them differently
right is it it's set them up is it possible testosterone we know is tied to aggression
prenatal testosterone is going to affect the attitudes and desires of young boys
and not only that but for the most part 98 you know 0.3 percent of boys or girls are going to
gravitate towards social things they see from boys and girls did you guys have micro machines
hell yeah dude yeah those are awesome yeah no so i mean like the video game on nes is actually
really good micro machines yeah we have like the little tracks and boats and stuff the boats are
good too the boats are good that's good classic you should get it you should try it out sometime
i think it's a gold cart one of those rare like nes like link had a gold card oh no it was the
ones that like were rounded on the end.
Anyway, Micro Machines, good NES game.
But boys like things, like fast-moving.
This is a gross generalization.
You should be ashamed.
When they give boys blue and girls pink, what's that all about?
This is one of the things that we talked about the other day.
I don't hate that.
I don't hate questioning that kind of thing. Blue and pink other day. I don't hate that. I don't hate questioning that kind of thing.
Blue and pink?
Yeah, I don't hate that.
A lot of parents now do yellow, right?
I don't know.
Or green.
The issue is the idea that it's either completely constructivism or completely essentialism.
It's mostly essential.
It's like mostly boys are born and have predispositions.
This is like nature versus nurture.
So like you're born with a nature and then you're nurtured around that genetic.
Like there's lateral and horizontal gene translation.
So like you're born with genes, but then your genes can change responsive to your environment as you grow.
Listen, listen.
This is partly we talked about this but the other day
about how and i think you might agree jeremy i'll get your opinion on this thank you they talk about
feminism but my argument has always been that feminism absolutely has disdain for femininity
because they're advocating for females to adhere to traditional masculine roles yeah you know i mean well third wave from feminism right
yeah third wave feminism is misandry i mean no listen all feminism always has been like women
should be able to do that things that men do it's it's not been men should do the things that women
do like we mentioned this the other day where's the narrative where it's like men should be in
the home with kids there is a narrative that women should be the CEOs of big companies.
There's a narrative of men can be with kids.
Yeah.
But the traditionally feminine role and the things that we often see expressed by young girls are like shoved aside and we're told basically not to do those things.
That's third wave feminism?
No, that's feminism in general.
Third wave is to me, first and second wave,
were basically that men and women are equal.
That was what I was taught growing up.
And then third wave is more like,
actually, there's not enough women in CEO positions.
And the women's soccer team who lost to a 15-year-old boys team
should be paid the same as the U.S. men's.
They should.
Yeah, if they generate as much money
they should absolutely yeah right 100 if they fill up a stadium i 100 agree do though in the world
cup right yeah that's it though no one gives a shit otherwise we talked about this before too
a shiza we talked we talked about this before that's still swearing
that's uh some people didn't agree but i I was like, dude, it's marketing.
If Serena Williams can generate millions of dollars in women's tennis.
She does, though.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
People pay to see her.
And then she makes more money than the male tennis players.
Almost all of them.
So let's have that conversation.
Like, how much does Serena make compared to how much some of these men make?
And should they complain about it?
Men don't complain.
Who's the biggest male tennis player right now?
Federer?
Is it Federer? Come on. He's right now? Federer? Could you name one?
Is it Federer?
I don't know.
Come on.
He's 100.
Roger Federer?
He's 100?
Yeah.
Give me like a...
I don't know.
I don't know anything about tennis.
Exactly.
The only thing I know is Serena Williams, man.
Right.
Me too.
She's a superstar.
Yeah.
Oh, what's the hot blonde?
I mean, the traditionally attractive blonde.
I don't know.
Traditionally attractive blonde.
Yes, you do.
I don't know their names, dude.
Nanatilova.
Yeah, it was a Russian lady.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
She was never very good at tennis, but she generated a lot of money because she was smoking
hot by traditional standards.
I don't think she was attractive.
I don't know tennis players, man.
Martina.
Oh, yeah.
Martina Nanatilova.
What's her name?
Megan Rapinoe?
The soccer player lady?
The pink-haired feminist soccer player that whines about gender wage gaps.
She was in the White House this week.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Talking about wage gap stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
If it's true that they're selling out stadiums and they're not getting the same.
They're not.
They're not.
No.
They're not selling jerseys.
They're not.
Because really, when you look at sports, especially now in a post-Koof era, you're not even putting
butts in seats anymore.
Right.
You're selling jerseys.
You're selling digital game passes.
NFTs.
Ian, somebody needs to explain those to me after.
All right.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't want to get into it.
Non-fungible token.
Yeah, we're not going to talk about something else.
After the show.
Let's do a crypto show.
Yeah, I want to like roast up.
I think we already did a crypto show.
Yeah, I think we did.
But yeah, so my argument is simple.
If they sell the tickets, then they should negotiate better contracts.
I agree with you, but they don't.
And so when they come out and they're like, this is sexism, I was like, well, you negotiated
the contract.
So negotiate a different contract.
Well, haven't we won this argument?
It's not a...
No, no, you don't understand.
There are people in media who lie, who are dumb, and there are dumb people who believe
the lies.
The dumbness constantly cycles back forever.
You'll always be witness to it again.
For the last 10 years,
my dunk arm is sore.
Because I've been...
It's not a wage
gap, my friends.
It's an earnings gap.
Between all men and all women.
Not between a single man and a single woman.
And you know if a man makes more money than a woman
for doing exactly the same job,
it's illegal.
And like, nobody wants to hear that.
Like, show me a man doing the same job as a woman
where the woman makes less,
and I will agree.
Who always says that?
Is that a Rubinism?
No, Shapiro does that.
Does what?
Show me a woman who makes less money than a man for doing the same job, and we will agree.
But if you don't, it doesn't exist because it's illegal.
No, it exists.
The issue is that it's based on contract negotiations.
And this is what the research has found.
On the whole. On the whole. Right. Women be not as aggressive according to peterson it's not just
that it's that it's almost like guys don't care they're willing to take bigger risks this is a
fact that's called testosterone it is and so that means a guy sits down for a job interview and he
goes on 100 grand and he goes well we can't afford to pay a hundred grand well then you can't afford to have me can you and they'll go okay can you do 95
all right i'll do 95 the woman comes in and they're more agreeable this is scientific i'm
not trying to disparage some women and you can argue agreeable but you can argue agreeableness
is a better trait we're just arguing what happens is they go into a job interview and they say well
um what's your offer and they'll say 80 000 will go okay let me your offer? And they'll say $80,000. And we'll go, okay.
Let me call my husband.
No, they'll say, okay.
They'll say, okay.
I have these conversations with my female friends all the time.
They're like, they're not paying me enough.
And I was like, what'd you ask for?
Well, they offered, you know, $50,000.
And I'm like, did you ask for $60,000 or $70,000?
No.
And I'm like, okay.
Yeah.
Well, go ask for it.
Well, it's too late now.
I already have the job.
I'm like, I don't know what you would do.
Yeah, but you're a misogynist, Tim.
Here's the job. I'm like, I don't know what you would do. Yeah, but you're a misogynist, Tim. Here's the thing.
There is 40,000 people watching you.
You are but 18,000 subscribers short of 1 million subscribers.
It's getting close.
Well, they're probably all subscribed.
It's going to be the golden YouTube button?
If you're like me, there's like 40% of them that are subscribed.
You guys got to subscribe right now.
Yeah.
And leave a like on the video.
All right.
Well, I don't know what that has to do with the conversation about women not getting paid
or anything.
There are a lot of women in the crowd.
I will pay you women equally if you leave a like.
Jordan Peterson.
Subscribe.
Yeah.
Peterson's a clinical psychologist.
Let's break a million subscribers tonight.
Okay.
It could happen.
It's happening.
Jordan Peterson has posted clinical data about agreeableness, which is a personality trait.
I feel so bad.
Yeah.
He got kind of raked for it.
But women tend to be more agreeable
on average, and that's because of their
communication skills in the family.
It's about not shutting people down.
But men are... It's way easier for
on average men to be less agreeable, which is
why contract negotiations... Men are stupider?
Right, we're more...
What's the word for it? It's the greater male
variability hypothesis.
It's the greater male variability hypothesis that women tend to cluster around the center of the bell curve and men have a wider bell curve.
Meaning you are more likely to encounter a really dumb man.
You're also more likely to encounter a really smart man.
Oh, that's interesting.
Every day.
So I thought about this, too, because there's a trope about, you know, women saying, God, men are so dumb.
They're not wrong.
But men are also so smart.
Because if you have 100 men and 100 women, you're going to have 10 dumb women, 80 average women, and 10 smart women.
And if you have 100 men, you're going to have 20 really dumb men, 60 average, and 20 super smart men.
And the stupidest humans will tend to be men.
Yes.
And the smartest humans will tend to be men. Yes. And the smartest humans will tend to be men.
Yes.
So here's what happens.
If you have 100 men
and 100 women
and you've got 20 male geniuses
and 10 female geniuses,
you now have two to one
competing for the same job.
Those aren't actual numbers.
The statistics
are probably very different.
That'd be if everybody
in the world
was applying for one job.
And let's say,
let's say,
there's five positions,
there's 30 people,
and 20 of them are guys.
There's a very high probability it will be all five guys.
Yep.
All five.
That's how you end up
with all the male CEOs.
Not because of sexism,
but because you've got,
if you reached your hand
into a hat,
okay,
let's just do regular old
A sexism hat.
No, regular probability.
Say,
we're going to do blind hiring.
So we have the smartest women
and the smartest men in this hat. We only have five. You pull one, two, three, say, we're going to do blind hiring. So we have the smartest women and the smartest men in this hat.
We only have five.
You pull one, two, three, four, five.
Very strong likelihood.
All dudes.
All dudes.
Or 80% of them.
And if you take into account that the extremes tend to be male, and you're only trying to fill one role, which is the CEO of Google, you look for the smartest human, which tends to be, it's not always the case, a guy.
But intelligence is a weird word, too.
And the more people that exist, the bigger the gap becomes.
Because if it's two to one, you're going to have one job, the CEO of Google, and you're
going to have two million guys and one million women.
Two million from each.
So what they do then is you get these equity constructivist people who are like, well, then you have to choose million women. Two million from each. So what they do then is you get these equity
constructivist people
who are like,
well, then you have to choose the women.
And it's like,
that doesn't make sense either.
Well, that's how it is though.
You pull them out of the hat,
congratulations, you got a guy.
So in my day job,
I have at least one Fortune 500 company
that works for me.
And I've seen this garbage
on the internals of corporate culture.
And it's real.
It's not, we need to hire the best person for the job.
Not at the executive level.
At the sales level, at any job that is like—
Get woke, go broke.
Yeah.
Dude.
Not at the level where performance matters, but where the level where people see—
Performance always matters, man.
It does not.
Especially in the military.
No, listen.
In the military, yeah.
I don't want to rear end the conversation, but that's what I keep thinking about.
Let's say you have 100 employees and 80 do the actual birdhouse manufacturing.
Then you've got 10—
They're using McGinty screws probably, too.
Those are the screws.
Let's say you've got 80 people actually doing the work.
You've got 15 people in an administrative and managerial role and then five executives.
You put in one bad executive and they start just doing weird things even if they're not involved in the day
to day process eventually an email pops up where they scream bigotry disrupt operations slug up
the time and then everything starts getting jammed up and they will perform worse than a company
that doesn't have that you know weird person yeah but that doesn't prevent them from getting the job
what i'm saying is that there are
that that diversity quotas are freaking real they're real and if if they can't fill it in
an existing role they create them and that's why you end up with the diversity czar or whatever
the hell it is yeah chief diversity officer yeah like that's what it i mean it's real like it i'm
not i mean that is you know that shouldn't be controversial to say.
When they create the position called, like, the Office of Diversity, Inclusivity, and
By the way, it's never a man that has that job.
When they create these positions, they're basically akin to creating the Chinese Communist
Party offices in Chinese businesses.
They want their church in every company.
And they're winning.
They're getting these things imagine every company had to have a christian church and and and chaplain to administer administer the the proper
christian ideology to what the business does that's what they're doing with the diversity
inclusivity inclusivity and equity stuff do you know how these job negotiations go it's like the
mob or it's like getting when you're black and you get pulled over in a small town like oh your
taillights out like oh that's a nice business you have there sure would be a shame if something
happened to it you should probably accused you of being a bigot yeah you should probably hire
me i have a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in college debt from columbia i have a degree in
gender studies you should probably hire me as a diversity if you look at every major video game
company riot games blizzard
they all have these roles and they're all completely useless and they all make huge
money it's like a it's like a mafia remember how like magic the gathering used to have
all the angels were like redheaded busty women and no i don't remember it because it was 20 years
ago yeah but now the cards are like good old now the cards are like
frumpy warrior looking armored manly women half shaved head flipped over the top by the way shout
out to um i got no problem with it if i just don't play magic anymore i don't have problems either i
don't buy it yeah exactly like they're allowed to do whatever they want and more power to them
there's congratulations on your success yeah congratulations on ruining the best game ever
but the the uh i'm not even saying that i'm saying i am i'm saying that make your own game Congratulations on your success. Yeah, congratulations on ruining the best game ever.
I'm not even saying that.
I'm saying... I am.
I'm saying that.
Make your own game, bro.
Which we are doing.
Make Magic the quartering.
That's so much work.
Yeah, well, if you want a game that's fun...
Listen, you or I, nobody is entitled to this game.
It's not our game.
That's why I walked away, though.
Exactly.
I didn't want to talk about it. The libertarian approach is... I'm a big fan to this game. It's not our game. That's why I walked away, though. Exactly. I didn't want to talk about it.
The libertarian approach is, I'm a big fan of the game.
They've changed it in ways I don't like.
It's not the shaved head women that ruined it.
It's the mechanics.
It's the tri-lands.
It's the power creep, really, that killed it.
And then they're printing singles now, basically.
Do you know why that happened?
The power creep?
They got lazy.
They sold out.
They wanted a lower common denominator in gameplay to sold out they wanted a lower common
denominator in gameplay dude they wanted a lower common denominator in gameplay they want people
of no skill to be able to play and feel powerful do you remember when a two drop three three was
like a bannable card i'm serious when a one drop two two was yeah that's the must have any savannah
lion was the best card on the planet grizzlyly Bears. Yeah, or Grizzly Bears.
That's a two-drop.
Nobody has any idea what we're talking about.
So let me simplify.
Four for a 5-5.
Hold on.
Have a drawback.
Okay.
Here's what's happening.
For those that don't understand the game.
For a long time, it was a kind of slow game.
It's a card game where you play cards.
You're battling an opponent.
People call it poker and chess combined.
It's like poker and chess.
Poker and chess combined.
Over time, as the company got more woke there were some instances for for one a comic shop had a keck flag in a flower pot or something on a shelf someone saw it the shop got banned from
buying magic gathering products i did a fundraiser for them right fire and dice what's happening now
is as as you know ian and and and Jeremy bring up power creep, that describes
how the game is making cards that are
just so insanely powerful. Too powerful.
What's actually happening is they
want people of no skill to
be able to play. Yes. The game has
become a dice roll. We actually have a
joke, right Ian? Where instead of playing
we'll roll a 20-sided die.
Whoever gets it, you win. I won. Reshuffle.
Yep, reshuffle again. Shuffling is the most fun anyway. Yeah, so it's gotten to'll roll a 20-sided die. Whoever gets that, you win. I won. Reshuffle. Yep, reshuffle again.
Shuffling is the most fun anyway.
Yeah, so it's gotten to the point where— It's ridiculous.
Because they'll print new—every year, they'll make new cards.
So over the years, they would print better and more powerful cards.
For 10 years, they were so good.
So it's supposed to be like poker and chess.
Poker and chess never change.
It's the same game for thousands of years.
They never added new pieces.
Right.
Or chance mechanics.
To keep the game fresh,
they want to update things.
The problem is
they don't want skill anymore.
It was always difficult.
You had to be the best to win.
You had to craft the best deck.
Now it's like...
Did you get the deck?
These cards are insane.
Certain decks are built around one guy.
You get the cards to build that deck,
and then that is the deck that wins.
They want people who have fun going,
Yay! Dragons! Oh no! Goblin! Flip a coin, I win! You get the cards to build that deck, and then that is the deck that wins. They want people who have fun going, yay, dragons.
Oh, no, goblin.
Flip a coin, I win.
Let me tell you what really ruined it, and then we'll get off because I'm sure Chad is just dying right now.
No, they're chilling.
Okay, good.
You guys love magic as much as I do. Okay, but the power creep was bad enough. but when wizards the makers of the game they took the woke characters and then specifically made
them op to to make sure like it's not enough that we have a a a a gender character it also
has to be the best character in the game right and we need to force like captain marvel right
we need to force quote unquoteunquote everyone to play competitive
deck to also play with this so then they can talk about this or that every week that was it this is
what's happening we've talked about movies we've talked about the woke of occasion of the industry
and how the ideology is more important than the content that's what they're doing have you seen
my favorite movie guy have you seen the new craft no do i look like i love torture you need to watch
no no you need to watch it no it's like it's it's like it's like literally watching a torture film
the film has no plot way to sell it there's no there's no real plot it is it is literally like
imagine if you watched a video where it was just someone explaining to you why you should be woke
that's what it is for two hours.
That sounds awesome.
This is what's happening to video games,
to comics, it's happening to card games like Magic the Gathering.
What they're doing is they're saying
it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it matters that
we all have the right ideology.
The right opinions, yeah. So instead of making a compelling
story where you have an agendered
character who fought a dragon and the dragon
bit off his arm or their arm. Which fine yeah yeah and then they're like i had to fight and
you know in my in my world the world i come from gender isn't a construct you'd be like oh it's an
interesting you know like you ever watch sliders the way they go to the opposite dimension i did
watch it downstairs it was on the tv no no better yet better yet star trek the next generation has
an episode where they go to a planet where all the men are small. By the way, one of the most woke shows, like, in an un-forestful way.
TNG?
Of our area.
Absolutely.
They go to a planet.
It never felt forest.
They go to a planet where the women are all very tall and strong and dominant and the men are all small and demure and weak.
Amazonian almost.
Yeah.
Right.
And the women of that planet are like a man coming in, making really interesting points about you know society and things like
that and exploring these alternate versions of civilization it would be fun to explore that
instead what happens is that instead of going to the amp like in the next generation they go to
this planet and then reicher explains to this woman how her ways are wrong how you there needs
to be equality and how the federation understands. Instead, what we're getting now is Riker would show – if they did this today, today's day and age, Commander Riker would show up.
The woman would be like, women are actually way better than men.
And then Riker would go, wow, I didn't realize that.
Right.
Thank you for educating me.
Yeah.
So it's not that they're actually teaching us how to be good people and to work with others.
They're just asserting that some are better than others.
They're like – so Captain Marvel got ragged on quite a bit and so when i was in avengers endgame theater that last one i was like wait a minute tim what the secret's out
what he was thanos who were you in avengers oh yeah i can't no no when i was in the theater
and she and and thanos when she when breaks with the ship, the audience groaned.
I know.
Mine too.
And then when Thanos headbutts her and then she doesn't flinch at all, they went, oh.
The crowd cheered when he punched her in my theater.
When he took the Power Stone out, I was like, pow, pow.
The crowd cheered.
Amazing.
Yes.
They groaned, man.
Yeah.
I groaned too.
Because it's like, dude, she wasn't even in the movie.
Her entire role in the movie was to be the most powerful character.
She did it in 18 seconds and left.
The problem is Captain Marvel is a guy.
And it has been since the 50s or whenever they made him.
And then they recast it as a woman.
Fine, if she wants to play a male character.
But they changed it into a female for some reason.
No, no, no, no.
That is a problem.
Well, for me, that's a problem.
I don't see that as a problem.
The problem I see is she's like a fighter jet exploded,
and now I'm the most powerful being in the universe,
even more powerful than Thanos.
We watched the Hulk get thrashed by Thanos.
They did that.
Infinity War was amazing.
The Hulk has 15 films established of being super powerful.
And they did that in the beginning to show you how strong Thanos was.
Then we have this woman who's not in the films at all show up and Thanos headbutts her and she doesn't flinch and the audience groaned.
I don't care to rehash silly pop culture things in this regard, but this one's important because it's a perfect example of why it does not work.
It was the haircut.
The reason it doesn't work is that if there's no challenge,
if there's no challenge, life is boring.
Yeah, Thanos is the challenge.
Exactly.
Well, that's why I don't like Marvel.
It's not even the challenge.
There are no stakes.
Like they can't lose.
The heroes can't lose.
You can't lose.
So like during Endgame when Hawkeyeye and black widow have this really intense moment
of who they're literally fighting over who's going to kill themselves right you're like oh man this
is some real ish you know and they're like ah pimp particles let's go back like well this did
you read the infinity gauntlet the original what what they based the movie on, they killed heroes. And they were gruesome.
Spider-Man had his head bashed in with a rock.
But that's how it should be.
And it was amazing.
It was gut-wrenching.
Do you remember Weapon X?
Like, Wolverine was my all-time favorite.
And then, like, Magneto in the comic books rips out all his enemies.
Oh, it's so good.
And he's, like, basically a head in a bottle.
Like, they would never risk that in modern films.
You've got to kill your heroes yes you have
to you can't have this bologna sausage we're like oh let's get some pym particles and just go back
and fix everything no when i saw you die in civil war i you should stay dead because then it matters
i i i don't mind that they came back but infinity Infinity War, I think, was a masterpiece, and Endgame was just like...
Garbage. Garbage. Just say it.
No, no, no. It was like... You ever see that Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns is an alien?
They think it's an alien, but it turns out Mr. Burns is irradiated, and he's lying.
I love you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then it ends with them singing Good Morning, Starshine, and holding hands. That's what Endgame was.
Yes, it was. Yeah.
My wife... So my wife is not a Marvel fan.
She likes Thor
because she's a woman
and she has primal needs
and she enjoys,
we have a similar-
So she likes Sam's Worth.
We have a basic,
similar,
including, you know,
for Endgame,
we have basically the same body type.
Yeah.
So it was like,
yeah,
so she was basically living her dream.
But like, when we were
in the theater and they had that i am woman moment in end game for all the women she literally leaned
over to me was like wow and she by the way she's never watched i have 2 000 videos in the quarter
never watched one of them so she's not like into this cult she's a normie that's why she
that's why it works for us i can't remember where
i was which which city i was in oh i do i do i was in i was in um like where did i see this was i in
no no i think i was in like um havre de grace you know that is in maryland oh i was somewhere
near there i'm pretty sure that's where i I could be wrong, but yeah, people were groaning.
These are like regular suburbanite people.
This is not too far from the DC area.
And they were groaning at these things.
So listen,
this, the bigger picture here,
why this matters to people
who may have not seen the movie
is that you take the traditional hero's journey,
which is formulaic,
but doesn't always have to be the same.
And you look at
actually i'll give you an example there's a really great breakdown where they compare captain america
to captain marvel as films and why they don't work and what the guy reviewing it doesn't doesn't
mention because he probably doesn't know is that he's pointing out all the wokeness yep so he's
like you know we we see the character development of steve ro He's a small, scrawny man.
He's weak, and he's getting brutally beaten down, but he's willing to stand up for himself against all the odds.
Captain Marvel is a perfect soldier who is insulted even though she's a great fighter pilot.
A guy makes fun of her.
Then she proves herself as a great fighter pilot, and then she gets superpowers.
There's no development.
She's a Mary Sue.
Right. Watching Captain America.
My favorite scene is when,
was it Jack Nicholson?
No, no.
Tom Jones.
Tom Jones.
What's his name?
Tommy Lee Jones.
Tommy Lee Jones.
He's like,
he's not going to cut.
It's about spirit.
And then he pulls the grenade pin and throws it.
All the soldiers run away.
And then Steve,
as a scrawny guy,
jumps on it and says,
get back.
That was establishing
that he was willing
to sacrifice himself for others. That even though he wasn't the strongest he had character and then you see the
doctor who's stanley tucci he like laughs captain marvel instead but that's not even her fault that's
not even her fault it's just garbage writing if they could have yeah they could have brie larson's
i agree no it's better than that that's yeah they could have given her a great story so she could
earn it but they wanted to fast track it and that and that's why no no i don't think they wanted to fast track it
i think it's like you described with the magic the gathering character they're like okay if we make a
feminist character she has to be the strongest and the best no matter what so that's what they do
they already had scarlet witch though and they just didn't give a shit about her what is she
supposed to be super powerful scarlet witch Witch? Scarlet Witch is the most powerful
mega-level mutant.
Yeah.
She's more powerful than all of you.
Why is she so boring to me?
That's because...
I mean, I can only...
It was on Disney+.
Because in the comics...
We never really wrote her character out in the comics.
In the comics,
she's one of the most powerful,
if not the most powerful.
There's arguments about who's the most powerful.
I mean, Jean Grey took care of Captain Marvel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But isn't the X-Men animated series based off rogue wiping out captain marvel and taking
all their powers yeah there you go good that happened but uh scarlet witch can rewrite reality
and did in house of m this comic you know comic book arc and took away all the powers from
everybody what they did with scarlet witch and quicksililver in Age of Ultron was weak.
It was weak, weak, weak. Weak sauce.
Super weak.
Yep, yep, yep.
So all she's doing is throwing energy blasts at them.
Yeah, yeah.
That looked lame.
Well, they're now changing that with WandaVision.
They're making it so that—
She showed her true power in that.
Yeah, and she's reading the book.
I'm sorry.
WandaVision was bad.
It was a 6 out of 10.
It was bad because she was the villain,
and the good guy gets arrested in the end.
But here's the thing.
You recognize that, but regular people don't.
I said that, too.
When I said that, I said, oh, you guys know that Wanda's the villain, right?
And the good guy was like, we have to stop her because she's enslaved 3,000 people.
She's enslaved a whole city because her feelings are hurt.
Yeah.
And people are like, wow, strong, independent woman.
She's related to the Olsen twins. I are like, wow, strong, independent woman.
She's related to the Olsen twins.
You see how— Actually, she's an evil character.
You see the correlation with the wokeness, though?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
WandaVision is a story—
Monica Rambeau, too, in that series, too.
Yeah.
She gained powers because she broke through the barrier or something.
I don't know.
So lame.
But listen, WandaVision is—her feelings are hurt.
She's depressed and angry.
So she enslaves, literally, this is the story.
She enslaves 3,000 people, and they're suffering and begging for death.
They had that one episode.
And she's the good guy.
Yeah.
Because it's her feelings.
And then I love the end.
Spoiler alert for everybody who hasn't seen it yet, but I'm going to say it.
Everyone's seen it.
When he's like, when the fake Vision goes, they'll never know what you sacrificed for them.
It's like, dude, she's enslaving them and they're begging for death.
I know.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yes.
They're like, please let us die.
And she's like, no.
That's like, dude.
Wow.
Second last episode, I think, is where it might be the last or the second last.
But where the townspeople were basically like, yeah, like, if you won't release us, let us die.
Uncontrollable pain.
This is why I'm for...
Hold on, but she was the good guy.
And the...
Was it the sword agent?
I think it was.
He was the bad guy.
We're going to send in a drone
and stop her
because she's enslaved 3,000 people.
It ends with him getting arrested.
Like, for what?
Yeah.
This is why I'm up for
giving people's wealth away when they die
because Disney,
whoever owns that or runs that, does not deserve that.
Only for Hollywood, though.
That's the compromise.
Why do people get these great corporations and then just do terrible things with them?
Listen, look at Captain Marvel.
In the movie Captain Marvel, there's a guy in a motorcycle.
He sees her and he goes, hey, why don't you smile more?
Oh, my God.
And the next scene is she's wearing his clothes and on his bike so basically no you forgot the part where she breaks she like breaks his arm so
they're basically like terminator 2 is cool let's reuse it that that's what they were saying actually
yeah this means the character who's supposed to be a hero has shown her character is that of a
villain that if someone offends her her delicate sensibilities she will injure and steal from him
batman and superman
never killed no matter what and they were really hold on hold on i'm getting there okay and there
were really amazing storylines like the justice lords yeah where when joker did trick superman
into i guess effectively killing lois and then superman blames batman saying you could have
stopped him at any point if you just killed this, Lois would still be alive and he becomes a despot.
But these are like alternate imaginings and alternate realities.
What makes Superman and Batman heroes is that they won't cross the line.
Yeah.
There have been instances they've written.
They do in the most recent DC films.
Batman does kill a bunch of people.
But I know I hated that.
I hated that.
But that was his line.
His morals was like killing is wrong.
And if I have the option, I won't do it. they're just jumping the shark they're selling it all out but you know
what's a really i want to mention this about um you talked about uh captain marvel and um her oh
wait no i think i lost it i think i lost it never well let's go to super chats yeah what a perfect
time to go yeah i was gonna say something about something about you were talking about um
captain marvel uh yeah shut up infinitely powerful i'm to go to the bathroom. Yeah, I was going to say something about you were talking about Captain Marvel.
Yeah, shut up.
Being infinitely powerful.
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
We'll come back.
We'll circle back.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I'm going to circle back on that.

It's true. I think most people watching are probably subscribed if you're not you subscribe maybe we
can break 1 million subscribers by tonight especially considering we get like half a

no that's a different channel that's a different channel you want me to show that now
what we might be getting later it's a different channel it's just up here enticing my eyes subscribe if you haven't already and go to timcast.com become
a member because we're going to talk with jeremy about some stuff and i guess he's going to call
out some companies some scammers we'll see what's what's happening but uh if you're listening on
itunes or spotify leave us a good review because it does help and more importantly in any capacity
share this if you're if you're listening on youtube right now just take that link drop it
over on facebook and twitter whatever that's the best thing you can do.
And do it for all our clips if you really, really do want to help.

But if you think the show is good, enlightening, or helps people see things they normally wouldn't
see, that's the little thing you can do.
It helps us greatly.
Don't get me wrong.
But if you think more people should hear this stuff and we should wake people up to what's
going on, that's how you do it.
With all that being said, smash the like button and we will now read some super chats paxton haral says sadly you missed
my chat from yesterday but i sold more non-pc cards so enjoy more mtg money courtesy of the
woke inflation hey there you're selling your cards your magic cards i went through i've gone
through multiple phases i won't i won't sell them but i gotta tell you i am concerned magic
for those that aren't familiar is one of the best investments you can make because they always go
up in value for some reason just always that's inflation because they yeah so and also the
rarity the rarity and they don't make them anymore and then you need to buy them it's their
collector's cards so now i'm actually worried because the games you know make it might get
woke and go broke it's just becoming absurd and i don't want to play it anymore and if it's a game i played since i was like seven or eight
years old and if i'm at the point where like i'm just like i'm not having fun playing this is
ridiculous this game's insane now what was your first deck um my first deck i don't know it was
it was built of antiquities cards oh and then a bunch of weird sets and then i eventually bought
a pre-made fourth edition.
And then I started buying Fallen Kingdoms, I think it was.
Oh, Fallen Empires.
Fallen Empires.
There you go.
God, what a terrible set.
Terrible set.
But it was 80 cents per pack.
Breeding Pit was good.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's read some more.
Let's see what we've got.
All right.
Beef Swillington says, best part of the presser today was the brainless leader was asked about
gun control and answered with a random answer on
infrastructure. It was brilliant, wasn't it?
Yes, good diversion.
Here we go. Steve A says Egyptian
female boat captain crashes in Suez
Canal, grinds global shipping to a halt, at
least until Monday. Bitcoin also
took a hit due to this. Was it really a female
boat captain? I don't think it was a female.
I don't know. That's highlighting
a weakness in our global transport system.
We got a ton of super jets.
Wow.
Yeshua Zef says, Ian, read this.

It's US 2017-0313-446A Navy. Can you one more time read those numbers and I'll type them in? It's U.S. 2017 0313
446A1. Thank you.
Sinek
says, my two favorites together,
spaghetti and Timcast, what could be better?
Hey, there you go. Sounds delicious.
Jason
Angel Fire says, hear the quartering's
voice in my headphone at Walmart as the podcast
starts and bust busted out laughing.
Ask him about the Walmart story and also what TISM is.
All right.
Sounds hilarious.
J Mac says, hambly blink twice if you're being held against your will.
But seriously, the more the media shrieks, the more it becomes evident that you must
be doing something right.
It is weird how so many are being targeted by a journalist thought journalist though
might have to get my tinfoil hat on and uh tinfoil hat on and yarn i will say urinal
urinalism is one of my favorite isms yeah isms is that what he said
student of history says hello gents and lids given the current state of animosity amongst
people in the current year,
I would like to abandon the barbaric legal system
and reintroduce the gentleman's art of dueling.
Feel like it would help reinstate survival of the fittest.
Yep.
Trial by combat.
How about that?
If they both agree to it, I'm in.
All right.
Grim Soul Banisher says,
I want to become a member, but the only payment option is PayPal. I do not have one anymore. They took my money years ago. Is there another option? Not quite, but there will be soon because everybody who signed up on the current version have granted us the ability to upgrade, and we are. The new version is beautiful. It's amazing. It's the best website. Everybody agrees. You're going to love it.
You sound just like Trump. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
That was the joke.
Come on.
Well, Tim's not taking crypto.
That's a fact.
He'd be like, come on, man.
Yeah, we don't have a crypto, but I'm a big fan of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Anyway, the new website, which is launching soon, maybe late this week, like tomorrow,
I guess, maybe next week, will have more options.
And then people have the ability to switch over and expect some hiccups when that happens because, you know,
naturally, but we have a great company and hopefully everything will be very, very smooth.
And the new website will be beautiful and you will love it. And we're even going to bring on,
we're going to bring on writers. We're going to get people to write articles and free blogs and
stuff like that. It's going to be a whole lot of fun. Ghost Crusader says,
Hey, Tim,
why don't you produce my paranormal show?
First three episodes
are here on YouTube.
I'd be down to do a podcast.
Where do I apply?
Jobs at TimCast.com.
We are currently looking over
a handful of resumes.
And it's, you know,
it's really tough about this.
The time frame
by which someone starts
going through the email
really does dictate if we can find your email because we have like a thousand so all these people apply
and then it's like the day someone's looking whichever one is like right there in front of
them are the ones we go through we can only go through like a couple dozens so it's really just
not that easy you know here's what you need here's what you need to do as someone who's
hired a lot of people you need to not spend your time
accepting a ton of applications.
What you need to do is spend your time
devising a very complex way of applying.
Like solve a Rubik's Cube?
Well, no.
Like a 20-page questionnaire?
Not necessarily even that, even.
Give me 50 bucks and I'll read your application?
Perfect.
That works.
But when I used to hire i so i worked
for an internet marketing incubator which meant we had a lot of internet marketing companies
underneath us we had one super rich dude that would just invest in various websites we had like
go to this store do this thing and then ultimately give it up we would make them fax us their resume
because it's 2021 who the hell's fax us their resume. Because it's 2021.
Who the hell is faxing your resume, right?
But people who really want to do it will do it.
Exactly.
People that read the description of the application would do it.
And I would weed out 99% of applications that were not detail-oriented.
Oh, that is such a good idea.
I tweeted about looking to hire somebody.
And then Michael Malice suggested someone.
And he said something.
He made a joke about the first line of their-
Don't hire your friends.
He said the first line of their email
must be the best thing I like about Michael Malice is.
And so I went into my email and I searched
and I found like 16 emails.
Yep.
This means the people were following me
and Michael and other people
and the conversation,
they were tuned in.
Yeah.
So while it may sound silly
and maybe a funny joke
between like, you know,
me and Michael or whatever, it actually was a really good indicator.
This person was paying attention and knew.
So it is things like that.
And we're actually hiring someone because of that silly joke.
Yes.
Because, you know, it's proof that they're aware of what's happening and, you know, they're
following it.
All right.
Lucas Parada says, you should have Lucas Parada on the show.
Oh, he has lots of vacation time and could be your first Canadian migrant on the show since lockdown.
No, Aaron Berg was.
P.S.
Could have Revelations Bible Breakdown for Timcast exclusive.
That would actually be a really interesting thing to do for the newer paranormal stuff, though.
Yeah.
The Revelation stuff is crazy, man.
Bible stuff.
There's a lot of stuff in Revelations people keep bringing up.
It's so weird. We have a program and a pre-designed program. It, man. Bible stuff. There's a lot of stuff in Revelations. People keep bringing up. It's so weird.
We have a program, a pre-designed program.
It's fiction.
All right.
Kyle Booth says, my first ever Super Chat was when Jeremy was on.
This is my second ever Super Chat.
Can you guess when my third will be?
Tomorrow?
Because Jeremy's going to be on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey.
You guys are awesome.
My top two YouTubers I watch.
Keep up the amazing hard work you guys do.
You help me get through the long work days.
I look forward to much more from you guys.
Hey, really appreciate it.
Yeah, shout out to the...
You know, I get a lot of people super chatting to me when I stream late night.
I try to stream around you because you suck up like half my viewers.
But like...
Well, it's saturation, you know?
Yeah, whatever.
You do a live stream at night?
Well, yeah. If I do and it's like 8.01, people are like, Man, I'm sorry. you know. Yeah, whatever. You do a live stream at night? Well, yeah.
If I do and it's like 8.01, people are like, man, I'm sorry.
I'm leaving for TimCast.
So you're like, I got to go on TimCast.
My phone's back.
Yeah.
But there's a ton of custodians, ORT, over-the-road truck drivers that just listen.
Shout out to the people that just listen
to the show while they're working.
All right. Ophir Keeter says,
I played the Ian Fiat graphene drinking
game. Subsequently, I've just been released
from the hospital and I'm doing fine. You need to go slow.
I think 5-HTP helps.
You are ready. Every other shot
water. Yes.
Vitamin C.
OMG Puppy says, Trump can't just join Parler.
Its tech is not good enough.
Gab is too anti-Semitic.
Has to start a new one.
I mean, the issue with Gab is that they just allow people to speak, and so you get people
who say nasty things, and that's a free speech principle.
What do you do?
Well, that's the conundrum of any alt-tech, right?
Because the first seeders you get are the worst.
The people that have been
deplatformed from everything, they're your first audience.
All right.
Christopher Marr says,
Boyle, Troil, trunanana
shabba to pressure. How long will it
take the U.S. to surrender?
For real, though, I feel like all of the crazy nonsense going on,
it's just to get us all to say,
okay, we give up on the craziness.
China, take over, please. Never give up. we give up on the craziness china take over please never give up
no never give up never surrender there is hope mr scratch has been a long time since i could see
your content live have a have a have a donation to make up for me watching your content as podcast
for the last seven months hey well that's cool too welcome back thank you especially thank you
for paying that debt that's right yeah you owed us yeah absolutely call off debt. That's right. Yeah, you owed us. Absolutely. Call off the dogs.
That's right.
Karen Tucker says, hey, guys, seeing Jeremy on the shower today made me so happy.
Whoa, Karen.
You met the show.
Whoa, that's great.
It does say shower.
Hey, don't be telling people I have a secret OnlyFans account.
Oh, that's not good anymore.
Oh, yeah.
I love it.
Karen says, I love both your channels and watch every video posted.
Keep up the good work.
Oh, my lady.
Right on.
Balian says, does this mean you're going to be laying down the milk toast beanie wisdom
to the people at Fox News now?
So they sent a truck to my house, to this house.
That was a cool thing to see.
I was pulling in right when they were pulling up.
Yeah, I thought it was the private.
And Lids was driving.
She's like, meh, that's the Amazon driver. I said, i said they have a press tag in their way i was like holy crap yeah
it was uh it's a company where they send out trucks and they open the door and there's a tv
behind you and you sit in a chair and there's a camera in front of you and it's like what kind
of camera was it did you did you buy it i do have one of those actually the camera he had was
interesting i walked i was like oh hey i have one of those, actually. The camera he had was interesting. I walked in. I was like, oh, hey, I have one of those. We don't use them for the show.
We just filmed earlier because I did.
We filmed.
I made cinnamon toast crunch.
Oh, it was good.
Fried shrimp.
I had Andreas's version.
You had Andreas's version.
Yeah.
So did you hear the story in the New York Times with the guy with the shrimp?
Yeah, yeah.
He was pouring.
I'm on the internet, too.
Right, right, right.
It's a funny story.
This guy was eating a box of cinnamon toast crunch, and shrimp tails out allegedly and and i mean it's a it's a photo so
i would say a guy posted photos of what came out of what he says came out of his box sure
and general mills also married to topanga one of my first crushes ever from boy meets world yeah
well so here's the funny thing general mills apparently said that those were actually just
gobs of cinnamon and sugar clustered together. Bologna. They were shrimp tails for sure.
Yeah, he took a picture.
So someone, as a gag, breaded shrimp and fried it with a habanero pineapple sauce reduction
and said it was good but would be better without cinnamon toast crunch.
And I said he did it wrong.
The issue is that pineapple habanero doesn't go with cinnamon.
So we pulverized cinnamon toast crunch.
We breaded the shrimp. We rolled the shrimp in it So we pulverized cinnamon toast crunch. We breaded the shrimp.
We rolled the shrimp in it, egg, and then cinnamon toast crunch.
Fried it.
And then we made a garlic ginger sauce.
Wow.
And it was delicious.
And for the record, Tim did invite me over for the cinnamon toast crunch shrimp tails.
Not shrimp tails.
We cut those up.
Just shrimp.
But Lydia, thankfully, picked me up and took me to america's most healthy dining facility
mcdonald's so yeah we made the sauce andreas made a similar version he made his own he made a garlic
sauce too didn't he i couldn't tell i like him first time i met him today i think yeah he's
cool dude right super high energy but that's a lot you tried the cinnamon toast crunch shrimp
and you thought it was good it was great great. Look, listen. When you have Chinese food, it's sugar sauce.
They put sugar and garlic and soy sauce and rice wine and stuff.
And they mix it together in a little ginger.
And then it's sugar.
It's breaded sugar.
It's like yummy, yummy sauce.
You ever have that?
It's just sugar.
If we bread the shrimp.
I'm going to do chicken next.
We're going to make.
So we're calling this General Mills shrimp.
I love it.
Because like General So, but General Mills.
That's racist, Tim. What do you mean? mean it's chinese food and then we're gonna make uh
captain's uh captain's chicken because we're gonna take pulverized captain crunch and bread
chicken with it and then put it in like tomorrow because i'll come back tomorrow you can make that
tomorrow yes all right all the ingredients i'll be here tomorrow then for dinner yeah okay all
right eddie says hey guys and Jeremy, I work as a software engineer
and it's scary
how easy it is
to implement analytics
and track the user.
When I started to notice this,
it became ugly scary to me.
We live in a time
where we are more exposed
than ever
if people don't seem to care.
Why?
Because they can't see it.
Exactly.
They can't see it
negatively impacting them.
Well, because people
have such a insane value
on convenience. Yes's it's never
been higher probably in human in our in our history convenience my friends and so you're
willing to trade everything for it we got good news yes uh let's see how do you pronounce this
stern overlord scurn overlord says hey tim first time caller long time listener what's your opinion
on the ninth ninth appeals court ruling the Second Amendment does not cover carry of weapons outside of your home?
This is, yep.
I'm so excited for this.
It was the best ruling ever.
Yep.
You know why?
If the lower court ruled that you could, then congratulations.
In Hawaii, you can open carry.
But now that's going to the Supreme Court.
Guess what's happening.
Which is 6-2-3. Yep. carry but now that's going to the supreme court guess what's happening which is six two three
yeah and i'm hoping the conservatives rule uh properly we may actually see a ruling at the
supreme court level that says you cannot stop someone from openly carrying a weapon anywhere
anywhere for any reason in hawaii you're allowed to open carry if you have a legitimate reason
kentucky too kentucky you can open carry there are others no listen listen hawaii, you're allowed to open carry if you have a legitimate reason. Kentucky too. Kentucky, you can open carry.
There are other open carry states.
Hawaii says you're allowed to open carry if you fill out the form, provide a legitimate purpose, and we approve you.
This guy said, no, I should be able to openly bear arms, concealed or otherwise, without needing a permit.
Is this the Publix guy?
No, no, no, no.
So here's what might happen.
If the Supreme Court says you are the Second Amendment applies outside your home, then states like New Jersey, Maryland, New York, Illinois, Hawaii, all of a sudden you're allowed to go to the store, buy a gun and walk around with it in your hand.
As you should.
As you should, by the way.
In the store.
And bear on it.
But not in private.
Private.
Private.
OK.
You can still ban it from a business, yeah.
Right.
Now, that Publix guy's interesting story.
You hear this?
Yeah.
He had six guns and body armor.
He was going to do a mass shooting, in my opinion.
Why?
I don't know that.
I do.
Who else does that?
What do you mean, why?
Then why didn't he?
He walked in the bathroom and walked out and they grabbed him.
He pussed out.
He pussed out.
He was absolutely going to do it.
Look, if you...
There's no... What was the point he was proving? do it there's that look if you there's no what was the point he
was i don't i don't i don't care what you think like i don't i'm not saying he should be convicted
because you can't prove it but as my point i don't i'm not gonna read his mind what's the story guy
walked into a public with six guns and body armor went to the bathroom and walked out and they
arrested him not just six it was like an ar he had an-15. He had a shotgun. He had ammunition and four pistols.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So what?
So he was loaded.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
That definitely wasn't a self-defense.
Does the Second Amendment say the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed
unless, of course, you're carrying too many?
No.
No.
But that would indicate it's not self-defense.
He wasn't doing that for self-defense.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter legally.
Where's self-defense in the Second Amendment?
That's the point of it is self-defense.
No, it isn't.
I mean, it says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
It doesn't say that.
But that's why they put it in there.
No, it's not.
That's what they said.
To protect yourself from the tyranny of the government.
To protect yourself from the government.
Bro, bro, bro, bro.
Bro, bro.
They didn't say you can wear arms so that you can go kill people and commit crimes.
That wasn't why they put it in there.
The original article before it became the Second Amendment actually said, basically, for any reason, you can go kill people and commit crimes. That wasn't why they put it in the original article before it became the second amendment
actually said, basically, for any reason, you can have guns.
Yeah, I guess they didn't want to say they don't want to purport.
They took this out because they were scared that overly broad language would give someone
a legal argument against conscription.
So what do you think that guy was doing in public?
So you think he was just making a political statement?
I honestly have no idea, but maybe it's been done before.
Take a guess. There making a political statement i honestly have no idea but maybe it's been done before take a guess there was a public statement maybe there was a
story where a guy after a shooting went into a walmart with a guy i remember that public statement
he did it yeah right and then he got charged with nuisance or whatever there was a guy and was it
that i understand though was it milwaukee because there's a guy in my home state that did it um
a uh a individual who how do i say this a large black male walked into a white neighborhood
pick and save which is a grocery store with an ar and he got arrested now he said he was just
making a political statement but we don't have open carry in wisconsin right when i look at that
situation do i think he was going to do the worst thing no i don't think he was gonna i think he
thought in his head i'm gonna you know i'm gonna get famous i'm gonna do this thing so
maybe that's what that guy at publics did because like you said the fact that he didn't go through
with it is odd you know we need we need the nra they won't they would never do this but we need
a gun rights organization to go to chicago and find any one of the South Side young black men who
were arrested for possession of a firearm.
So 50 a week.
50 a week.
Now, hold on.
Not every single one of these guys arrested committed a crime.
Some of them just want to have a gun to protect themselves and their family, and they are
legally allowed to.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
No, they illegally own the firearm.
The Constitution says otherwise.
So if a dude buys a gun and keeps and bears it and he commits no crime against anybody else, I want to see gun rights groups go to these young black men in Chicago and get them out of jail and dump that money in defending them in court.
They don't do it, though.
I'm sick and tired of this.
It's the hypocrisy of ignoring the mass shootings of Chicago.
Who are these people that are going to?
Are they felons?
No.
Who are illegally?
They become felons because they have the gun. So when they're a felon,
they lose the right. There are people in Chicago. I'm not I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm saying is that who you're talking about? I'm explaining. There are people in Chicago who have committed no
crimes. Then they go and they get a gun that is deemed illegal by the state, even though the
Constitution says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
What does that look like?
It means they drive to Indiana,
they legally buy the gun
and bring it back to Chicago.
Got it.
They then get arrested and charged
with felony possession.
I want to see gun rights groups say
that these young men have a right to bear arms.
Why are they going to Indiana, though?
Because of the gun laws in Chicago?
So, what's happening to a lot of these guys?
I don't understand.
I live two hours north.
Someone will go to Indiana and buy a gun and then transfer it to someone who lives in Chicago.
So a straw purchase, which is illegal.
Right.
Just saying.
I think the issue is regardless of how they got it, they have a right to bear arms.
Yeah.
And they're charging them with illegal possession.
But why aren't they buying illegally?
Because you can't get a gun in Chicago, dude.
No, it does matter how you get it.
Same with money.
If you get money illegally, then you're not allowed to do that.
I'm talking specifically about the charge for possession, not for purchase or anything else.
They should be defended in that regard.
I think you're right.
In Chicago, it is—
Everyone should carry, in my opinion, everybody.
Have you ever looked at the process—
Especially Asians.
Hashtag.
Absolutely.
Stop Asian hate.
If I have to get on my roof to defend myself, I'll do it.
Have you seen how hard it is to get a gun in to defend myself, I'll do it. Have you seen
how hard it is to get a gun in states like New York
or in these cities? It's insane.
And what they do is they say we're not in...
What about the gun show loophole, Tim?
They're just handing out guns to everybody.
Come on.
The gun show loophole is a trick.
I know. It's bullshit. I know that.
There's no loophole. I'm being sarcastic.
There's no loophole. I know that.
They're basically saying that in rural states,
individuals can privately transfer so long as they
know for a fact the person is
not barred from owning a weapon. Within a reasonable...
Yeah, right, right. That's it.
They're trying to get rid of... They're trying to make universal
background checks so that Joe Bob Jr.,
who lives in the mountains of West Virginia, has to drive
three hours to a gun shop in order to give
his neighbor, John Smith, a weapon to protect his property from
from wild. If only criminals would just follow the law. I mean, so you think these dudes with
guns should have their felonies dropped and just have like state charges? No, I think he's saying
that even if they have a felony that they should, I'm saying right now, listen, carry that there
are mass shootings all the time in Chicago that the left ignores because it doesn't scare the delicate sensibilities of white suburban progressives because they don't care about the black community.
Well, they're not mass.
They're not mass.
They're two at a time.
There was 15 people shot.
Not by the same guy.
What?
Not by the same guy.
Last weekend?
In Chicago.
Yeah, it was one guy who went to a party and he shot 15 people.
Oh, is that?
Oh, OK.
You're talking about something specific.
OK, OK. Yeah, it happens all the time. And a party and he shot 15 people. Oh, is that? Oh, okay. You're talking about something specific. Okay, okay.
Yeah, it happens all the time.
And they go in and I covered mass shootings over and over again in Chicago.
They don't care about this.
And you know what?
The gun rights advocacy groups, and I don't hear from conservatives.
Because it's in the hood.
I don't care where it is.
The Constitution doesn't say except in the hood.
So if we're going to be constitutionalists, then I want to see gun rights groups go to
the core and find people withstanding.
Young men,
guys in their 20s who have a gun.
I don't care how they got it.
If they're being charged with possession of that weapon, they're allowed to keep in
bare arms.
What do you think the NRA does with their money?
Nothing.
Right.
There was a big scandal.
Commercials.
Yeah.
Commercials.
I'm not an NRA guy.
I'll tell you that for a fact.
I don't think they don't.
I think they don't. I think they serve as a whipping boy for anti-gun people.
I don't think they do a lot of good.
I don't see them doing any advocacy.
There's a lot of complicated nuance involved in what goes on in Chicago.
The point I'm bringing up is when I saw what happened to Philando Castile, I think it's the right name.
Yep.
The legal gun owner, black man, was shot and killed
by a cop who panicked, even though the guy did everything right. And the NRA hesitated. I got
mad. And I say, yo, and I saw all these Trump supporters getting mad too. And I was like,
right on. They were like, defend the guy. He's a gun owner. It's legally, you know.
Then I'm thinking to myself, how is it that we can complain if the media ignores the mass
shootings in Chicago and then talks about these ones that they use to try and ban guns?
But then where are the gun rights groups finding all of the people in Chicago who have legal standing to sue on the grounds that their right to keep and bear arms is being infringed?
But Tim, Tim, why do you think that media ignores what happens in Chicago?
Because it's all about political agendas.
Exactly.
When you talk about what happens in Chicago, you do not scare the delicate.
You do not scare suburban progressives. will then go and vote for Democrats.
Yeah, you don't change votes.
Exactly.
So I wonder why gun rights advocacy groups aren't going into Chicago.
I feel bad.
I feel bad.
Like I know this is probably an old statistic slash anecdote, and it's probably still true, but there's a time where living in Chicago is more dangerous than living in Baghdad.
That's true, though.
There's more gun deaths there.
They call it Chirac.
Yeah, as I say, everyone in Wisconsin calls it Chirac.
I find this fascinating.
Milwaukee is not great either anymore, by the way.
We had Alan West on the show, Lieutenant Colonel Alan West, with respect, and we disagreed.
I said, I think if you commit a felony, pay your debt to society, then you
should be able to vote and buy guns. I agree with that.
But he disagreed because
violent offenders could re-offend. And I said,
what's the point of prison if you can never
pay your dues? Exactly. Slave labor.
If you, either you, listen,
no, no, no, the question is, either you pay your
debt to society or you never can. Right.
Yeah, I agree with you 100%. And the issue is,
it's not even violent felons. You could get arrested on a possession charge and now you can't have a gun anymore. You're not a society or you never can. Right. Yeah, I agree with you 100%. And the issue is it's not even violent felons.
You could get arrested on a possession charge and now you can't have a gun anymore.
You're not a violent offender.
So that to me, I don't.
But violent offense, I'm into like maybe looking.
But we need to reform prison.
I mean, if we're going to have.
Prison should be.
There has to be a path.
You are restrained.
Listen, prison should be.
You commit a violent crime, right?
We restrain you so you can't do it again we rehabilitate you give you access to the internet
we give you watch you use it and re-entry should be we shouldn't put people in prison for you know
25 years it should be like 20 years and then five years of like serious probation dude i would love
to see prisoners on video chat with like psychologists yeah therapists and watch have
prison guards watch so So they don't.
Well,
prison doesn't communicate.
I think we get all prison doesn't reform anybody.
No,
it's just lock them up to this current one.
They isolate.
It's a deterrent and it turns mid-grade criminals into masterminds and it turns petty criminals into mid-grade criminals.
The prison system doesn't work,
but I will say that if you do your time,
then I a hundred percent support you coming out and being able to be a regular citizen.
Let's read some more of these.
We got Ham Sarabi says, Tim, you keep using terms like the cathedral, but I don't think you know their origin or their full context.
Invite Curtis Yarvin onto the show.
Michael Malice can probably get you in touch with him.
You won't regret it.
Sounds good to me.
Ben Walker says, Tim tim is 100 right about getting
the incentives right for alternative platforms aws facebook twitter have their competitive
advantage from economic from economy of scale alternative platforms need to get the incentives
right in order to scale then they can compete absolutely gamification sonny james says off
topic but is rapture watcher channels unique only to America? I got to say, I've never seen such a group of calm people debating how God's going to destroy America.
It's like he's sitting there thinking race war invasion robots or good old fire.
I don't know.
But the revelation stuff is really interesting because people are pointing out stuff in the Bible that they're seeing happen now.
It could just be people looking for patterns, you know.
Right.
That's our natural.
That's a human's human's natural all right eric allen says literally so happy to see jeremy on timcast today

And we're going to have you on tomorrow as well.
It's going to be fun.
We're hanging out.
All right.
Jason Dunn says, both the U.S. women's and men's teams were given two choices.
Option A, you get paid per game depending if you are on the team sheet without benefits.
Option B, everyone gets paid regardless of if they're on the sheet, but they get benefits.
I remember that I covered that.
They chose their contract and then complained about it.
They all took B, didn't they?
I don't remember which one they took, but like they complained.
Yeah, yeah.
Jason Dunn says, the women's team chose option B and ended up making less money because the base pay was lower since everyone got paid the men's team
made more since you only got paid if you were on the team sheet the women saw this and they said
we want what they have well they didn't take the risk it was exactly yeah contract negotiations
brandon gardner says big fan jeremy love crossovers of my favorite content creators keep up the good work guys absolutely big shout out ian too oh what up holler quacking golem says
the women's soccer team was offered the same deal as the men they turned it down and got mad when
they realized they would have made more if they accepted the same deal as the men the women the
women win world cups the men barely make the tourney it's that's a good point that's true
they took they didn't take the risk.
Yeah.
They played it safe because they didn't think they were going to make it.
All right.
Let's see.
We'll do a couple more.
We'll do a couple more because we got a bunch of superchats.
Sonny James says, I'm skeptical about crypto.
To me, it might be a gigantic psyop marketed as breaking up centralized banks.
Bill Gates in the Navy investing heavily in XRP and Ripple.
I've heard that will depend on your behavior via social credit score.
Full black mirror.
I don't really know too much.
People were skeptical about the automobile.
So.
Black Rock Beacon says,
Go Tim.
There is no such thing as an illegally owned gun,
according to the Constitution.
Money is not protected by the Constitution, Ian.
Let's do this. Use your fabled nonprofit skills. You got the money. I'll go help cover it. I would
absolutely love to start a nonprofit that helps young men who have been arrested on gun charges
in Chicago get their their records expunged, file these lawsuits, defend their rights to keep in
bare arms. I interviewed a woman. She was an activist in Chicago, and she said, we believe in guns. We believe we have a right to own guns. And we want to make sure everyone's
doing it correctly and legally. That was what she was advocating for. And she thought that would
help stop the gun violence. I also think there's a bunch of young men who don't know what they're
doing, don't know if they're buying or just don't care. And they buy a gun from somebody. And then
they get told you're going to prison for it. This is destroying.
Look, the equity people should absolutely be on board with this because you're creating young, you're creating, you're making these young men felons.
Now they can't vote.
Now they have a harder time getting jobs.
It creates a cycle of poverty.
I'm not about that.
I think it's wrong.
I think they have a right to keep and bear arms.
And I think there should be lawsuits to define exactly what they're doing wrong and what
they can do in Illinois.
And I think Illinois is overbearing draconian laws.
And I think Illinois absolutely has a bunch of racist politicians.
Well, and it should be pointed out, and I'm going to let you go through them,
but Chicago has maybe the strictest gun laws in the state and the worst murder rates.
Yeah, they have some of the strictest gun laws in the country.
If only criminals would follow the law.
I get it, yes.
But there are a lot of issues with gun violence that aren't being addressed by anything they're doing.
And so all I can really say is defend the rights of these people.
Because legal gun owners aren't going down to the hood and firing bullets into people's houses.
No, no.
Here's the issue.
Some illegal gun owners aren't doing that either.
There are people.
So like this case.
But it's like the case.
No, no, no.
We don't have the exact numbers but this dude in hawaii is filing a suit because they said
he he was not legally allowed to possess his gun was he not i don't know exactly what happened in
circumstance but i tell you this there are a lot of people there was one story i read i think this
might be i'm not sure where a guy illegally bought a gun and he said it's my right to keep in bare
arms to protect
my family and it's none of the government's business how I got it or why I'm not committing
any crimes. You can't just say because I have the gun, I committed a crime. He didn't. So I know
this for a fact in Chicago. There are a lot of people who illegally have guns. I know many people
in Chicago throughout my life who never committed a crime and illegally had guns. Seriously, white
people, black people, Latino people, because it's just impossible to go through the motions now
there was a big court case where illinois was forced to allow people to actually get guns
but they do this bs thing what's called like a may issue state where they're like you need a
legitimate reason to own a gun constitution doesn't say that yeah okay the right to keep in
bear arms shall not be infringed so i think you need to find people who have standing.
The problem is, I think the NRA
is not interested in actually helping gun rights.
I don't think they care.
I think they play politics for money.
I want to see a gun rights advocacy group go there
and find some dude. He's got
a wife and he's got kids. And you'll hear
these stories because I've heard them before. And he says, listen, man,
gun violence in Chicago is really bad. I gotta
protect my family. I don't want to hurt hurt anybody i don't want to commit any crimes
it's a mega country what do i do when one of these other criminals with an illegal gun comes into my
home i'm not allowed to protect myself that sounds like a good family man to me and it sounds like
they're oppressing him with bs racist gun control laws it's not racist it's just no it isn't gun
control was started because they were mad the Black Panthers had guns.
Yeah.
Well, but what you're talking about is somebody that did a straw purchase potentially or obtain a gun illegally.
And neither of those examples have anything to do with their skin color.
What I'm saying is I agree.
I think there should be a gun with every 12 pack of beer sold. If everyone in that grocery store in Boulder, heaven forbid, this is kind of a shitty thing to say, but if everyone was strapped with a guy who walked in there, I don't know.
But he probably doesn't take 10 people with him.
Probably not.
No, he'd get two maybe.
We saw a big push for gun control in California by Reagan because the Black Panthers were armed and they
were marching around. Right. And it was cheered for by it. They marched on the Capitol. Right.
And that's wrong. And the Black Panthers have a right to keep and bear arms. Of course,
that means they can walk around openly with them. You got a problem with that. And I do think
there's reasonable gun control. I do think there's real arguments around this. Then we need to amend
the Constitution. And if you can't do that, you have no right to impose your will on other people.
If we got problems in this country, they are dealt with by a convention of states to amend
the Constitution, not by you just saying, we got 50 votes and a tiebreaker.
We're going to ram it all through.
What do you think about these people that go to like Chick-fil-A with their AKs and
their ARs, open carry, like a suburb?
Not worried about it.
But what do you think that
they're what do you think they're up to making a point what is the point that i'm allowed to do
this and that's it they call it so that's the same point the black panthers were making right
i mean i think the point the black panthers were making was that if you oppress us we can defend
ourselves from tyrannical government and i think every single conservative should be cheering for
that because i hear too much
that people say the Second Amendment
is about defending us
from tyrannical government.
And they were also saying,
yes, if you oppress us,
we will defend ourselves.
And you are oppressing us.
Yep.
That was basically their statement.
Yeah, you're right.
The issue is not that...
The second part was important.
I don't expect any group of Americans
to form militias
and then go stage occupations of cities
and go to war with the country.
The issue is, in countries where people don't have guns, governments have no problem with
violating the rights of individuals.
Basic.
They do it here, though, too.
We do have guns.
Not in certain places.
They don't.
Look at what happened with Breonna Taylor.
The cops were trying to serve a warrant, and when they busted the door in, Breonna Taylor's
boyfriend shot a cop in the leg.
Those charges were dropped.
These cops understand
there is a risk
to breaking into the home
of somebody
because they may be armed.
Now, here's the point.
Do we want a society
where cops know
they can kick your door
in for any reason
at any point
and there's nothing you can do
to stop them?
Of course not.
Or do we want them
to have a reasonable concern
about violating
the Fourth Amendment
rights of an individual
because the Second Amendment exists? Of course. I don't want anyone exists of course i don't want anyone getting shot i don't want
anyone getting hurt but a society where the government recognizes you go into the wrong
house illegally bad things could happen means they're more likely to get the proper search
warrants and serve it properly are you implying that brianna taylor was not a lawful entry though
so the cops are arguing they gave a warning and they busted the door in there are witnesses that
corroborate that too that they gave a warning yeah and then regardless now i'm saying witnesses
could be whatever but i mean there are people that corroborate the nuances of the brenda taylor
case is not my yeah let's not go down that road we're on super chats my point is that even though
brenda taylor's boyfriend shot a cop the charges were dropped because people have a second
amendment right to bear arms and defend themselves when someone kicks the door in and just enters the house.
In other countries, he'd probably be executed.
Absolutely.
In other countries, there's no fear from the government at all in any capacity.
So, cops will break into someone's house and just abuse people because they have nothing to worry about.
Why don't we talk about the Biden headline where Biden was pushing.
Was I in the little boy's room?
Well, let's do this.
Let's do a couple more Super Chats and then we'll go into the.
Yeah, go ahead.
We'll get really heavy on this stuff in the extended members only segment.
Deepness.
Adrian Sutton says, Jesus Christ, no.
Sweet Tim.
Gun control started after Civil War because the Klan did not want black Americans armed.
NRA caved on their virtues after the Black Panther Party stormed the Capitol armed.
Absolutely.
To clarify, what I meant to say is that a big portion of gun control started with California
and the Black Panthers.
But you're right.
It absolutely goes way, way, way far back.
I'm not a fan of people violating the Constitution.
You want to change it? I'm all for it. It can be amended. But right now the problem we have
is hyperpolarization and one party thinking that they can upend the constitution without consequence.
You can't do that. There are many things you and I might disagree on or be mad about.
I don't think, I don't like the idea of people walking around, driving around in cars with 50
BMG full auto, you know, cruiser belt fed served belt fed whatever i'm like that's kind of crazy however so long as the constitution exists i'm tired of hearing this
this bs if you want to own a belt fed 50 bmg whatever i don't i have no problem with it
but i think cities will face problems everyone's walking around with you know five five six you
know ars or whatever yeah because people act a fool like we see we see especially drunk people
when alcohol that's exactly what I was going to say.
When alcohol gets involved, it's like you go to the Western Times, right?
You go to the bar.
You know what you do?
I kicked something down.
You hand your pistols to the bartender, you know, like when you get drunk.
All right, let's see.
We'll read one more.
