Starting point is 00:00:00 Well, they said they weren't coming for your guns, but they're coming for your guns. And for a while now, I've been talking about these articles and things I've read that allude to a second civil war or cold civil war. And one thing I often hear from people is like, Tim, nothing's going to happen in that capacity until they come for your guns. And I was like, bro, Joe Biden's going to come for your guns. Beto O'Rourke said it. Well, today, Joe Biden asserted that constitutional amendments are not absolute, which is technically correct. But he said that in order to justify his executive action on gun control, which you cannot do.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Now, look, I got to be honest. I think these executive orders will get struck down. The Supreme Court's going to throw them out. But the guy's clearly trying to do it. And we're probably going to see a red flag legislation from Congress a lot of these people these establishment liberal types like not even the socialist type socialist types they like the guns but these these run-of-the-mill liberals have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to these laws and it's going to get bad for everybody it's going to result in unintended consequences and what's really happening in my opinion is that
Starting point is 00:01:00 joe biden is throwing red meat to a bunch of regular like uninitiated politically ignorant people who have no idea what's going on. These rules and regulations will do nothing but cause suffering and harm. And we're going to talk about what Joe Biden said because he pushed several misconceptions about our constitutional rights. He said, you can't yell fire in a crowded theater. You can. He said, back when the second amendment was made, you couldn't buy whatever gun you wanted. That's also incorrect. Privateers were a thing for a long time. And I actually fact-checked all that. So we're going to get into it. We've got a bunch of other stories, too. Jordan Peterson is embracing the memes about Red Skull. And it's hilarious
Starting point is 00:01:32 because people are now taking Red Skull images, this Nazi villain, and putting Jordan Peterson quotes on them. And I think it's fantastic. So we actually have a really great guest who can talk to us about all of these things. We have former Special Forces Jim jim hansen also author do you want to introduce yourself a little bit yeah i guess the book we're going to talk about tonight one of them is winning the second civil war without firing a shot and uh that kind of implies that if need be we could fire a shot the goal is to avoid that and i think the idea now you said we're, we can't have a second civil war until they come for the guns. Well, they are. And they're going to.
Starting point is 00:02:07 And they have some high constitutional hurdles is the fortunate thing. Justice Scalia, before he died, did the republic a massive favor by writing the
Starting point is 00:02:16 D.C. v. Heller opinion, which codified an individual right to own a weapon irrespective of any militia service and that that weapon should be in common use and useful for service in a militia what kind of gun do you think a foot
Starting point is 00:02:32 soldier in the militia would carry these days i think an ar-15 is exactly it and so did scalia i i've got one correction for you hit me we're in a second civil war the idea is just that people expect it to be exactly what happened, you know, 100 plus years ago or whatever. What it's going to look like, it's going to be new weapons, it's going to be new methods, new technology. And the reason I say it this way is it was a Princeton professor who said we were in a cold civil war. This was published on The Hill. And all these lefties are like, Tim Pool is the one asserting this. Bro, I'm just reading the news. So we're in it.
Starting point is 00:03:05 We're in this conflict. And a lot of Pool is the one asserting this. Bro, I'm just reading the news. Right. So we're in it. We're in this conflict. And a lot of people, I'll tell you this. I know we're going to get a little in the weeds. This is supposed to be the intro. But we had Ryan Long on. You know Ryan Long, the comedian? Yeah. And he was like, so the first thing he does in the intro, he's like, so Tim, where's
Starting point is 00:03:16 this civil war? You had me freaked out. And I was like, on January 6th, a bunch of people stormed into the Capitol. And he went, oh, yeah. What about all last year? BLM and Antifa killed dozens, injured hundreds of cops, caused $2 billion worth of damage, seized government buildings, some of them for weeks on end. In Seattle, they had a police station for more than weeks. If that's not an insurrection, I don't know what one is.
Starting point is 00:03:39 And I do know what one is. Just Washington, D.C. Everything else was ignored by the media. That was a protest. Wasn't it Garland who was like, well, it wasn't terrorism because it was Just Washington, D.C. Everything else was ignored by the media. That was a protest. Wasn't it Garland who was like, well, it wasn't terrorism because it was at night? Ah. Okay. Merrick Garland's a disgrace.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Here's the thing. We have to have one set of rules. All right? If you want to say that there were some people who went to the Capitol who actually had insurrection in mind, there were. It was less than a handful. Yeah. But there were people who did that.
Starting point is 00:04:02 The rest of them were glorified trespassers. And right. And there's videos of the doors being opened by the cops. We there were people who did that. The rest of them were glorified trespassers. And right. And there's videos of the doors being opened by the cops. We'll get into all that stuff. So you also have a book about white fragility.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Was it The Myth of White Fragility? Yeah. So we've got some stories relating to cancel culture, comics, wokeness. We'll get into all that as well. So glad to have you, man.
Starting point is 00:04:20 We also got Ian. He's chilling. Yes, Ian from iancrossland.net. And I think we are not in a civil war. So I think this will be a wonderful debate from all angles. And I'm very excited to hear your thoughts and feelings on that, Jim, in the future. They're fixing the mic over there.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Yeah, I just kept talking louder and slower. You're just getting louder and louder, slowly accelerating. Yeah, I'm sorry, Patchlets. I'm really excited about this conversation because my boss is so into the whole Civil War thing. And I'm excited for the positivity and optimism. Right on. Well, before we get started, my friends, make sure you go over to TimCast.com and become a member. Why?
Starting point is 00:04:54 We have a bunch of exclusive members-only segments from the TimCast IRL podcast. You can see we had Brandon Tatum last night, and I misspelled his name as Braden Tatum. Ooh, who's that? Even better. Just click it. Figure out who that guy is. And we had Seamus. We had Josie, Redhead Libertarian, Michael Malice.
Starting point is 00:05:10 These are conversations you'll only be able to get full podcast episodes in some instances at TimCast.com. And when you become a member, you're helping to support this show in the event that we get banned or purged. We'll still have a place to produce content and bring it to you. So hopefully it doesn't happen. But look at what they're doing with Steven Crowder. So I think it's only a matter of time. We got to do what we can to build up our own independent networks and also smash the like button, subscribe notification bell. If you're listening on iTunes or Spotify or any podcast platform, leave us a good review. Give us five
Starting point is 00:05:35 stars, give a good comment. And ultimately, all of you can just share this show if you really like it, because that's the best way to actually help. Let's jump into this first story. We're going to talk about gun control. Biden says no amendment in the Constitution is absolute and calls gun violence a public health crisis and embarrassment as he prepares to sign six executive orders cracking down on firearms. There's two things I want to highlight as we start this conversation. He says nothing I'm about to recommend in any way impinges on the second amendment you mean infringes yeah he didn't say that word oh boy these are phony arguments suggesting that
Starting point is 00:06:10 these are second amendment rights at stake no amendment to the constitution is absolute biden declared and then he points to the famous supreme court ruling from i think it's 1919 that you can't yell fire in a crowded theater and that was shank uh as part of the first amendment's free speech clause which is wrong because in brandenburg v ohio i believe it was 1969 they ruled actually you can yell fire in a crowded theater joe biden has to know i'm assuming he knows that or he's a moron i'm assuming he knows it because he has legal experts who actually help craft his executive order policies he wouldn't be saying stupid garbage unless he's trying to mislead people because this is what they do or he hadn't had his nap yet and he might have been a little slow.
Starting point is 00:06:46 That's fair point. Absolutely. I would like to point out impinge is a word. I know. Yeah, it is a word. It's not the right word. I was saying he's not saying infringe because that's actually what's in the Constitution. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:55 I see. Right, right, right. He's getting cheeky. The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. But impinge, I guess maybe that's up for debate. It works. I'm just saying. It shall be impinged.
Starting point is 00:07:04 He didn't want to get too close to actually using the language that would make people go, oh, I see what you're doing. Check this out. He said, from the very beginning, you couldn't own any weapon you wanted to own. That's a lie. And from the very beginning of the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren't allowed to have weapons. So the idea is just bizarre to suggest that some of the things we're recommending are contrary to the Constitution. So here's what's going to happen. You get these lies over and over again. The first thing I'm going to say, studies have found liberals on Twitter,
Starting point is 00:07:29 for the most part, only follow liberals, whereas conservatives follow both conservatives and liberals. It has changed a little bit for the most part, though it is still true. The other thing we see is that liberals get about 95% of their news from liberal sources. Moderates get 60% of their news. They get about two-thirds from liberal and one-third from conservative, and conservatives are inverted, getting about two-thirds from conservative and one-third from liberal news sources. What this means is that people we call liberals are in bubbles. They don't have any idea what's actually going on outside that bubble, and then you get the media telling them lies.
Starting point is 00:08:02 So now people are going to hear this over and over and over again. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. See, free speech has limits. Okay, well, you're wrong. That was overruled in, I think, 1969. Then they say you couldn't own any gun you wanted to. USA Today fact-checked this, and a bunch of historians were like, there actually weren't really any laws limiting the right of private citizens in the Revolutionary War era from owning military grade weapons, cannons, artillery, grapeshot, all that stuff. And then when they talk about, yeah, well, muzzle loaded rifles, muskets took a minute to reload. Yes. And they had volley guns since 1339, I think. A volley gun is when they have a bunch of different barrels all loaded
Starting point is 00:08:43 and you have one trigger pull, which fires all of them off, which is fully automatic. So Biden is wrong. He is outright denying our constitutional rights in order to justify his executive orders, which violates the Constitution. So moving into this bigger conversation, we'll get talking about guns and about Second Civil War and all that stuff. A lot of people have said, you know, they view Second Civil War or Civil War as like factions marching down the street. I don't think that's what it'll look like.
Starting point is 00:09:08 I think it'll be more like insurgency if it does get to the point of violence. But we've already seen Proud Boys and Antifa and right-wing and left-wing groups clash. More importantly, it's a cold civil war. And this is one of the elements of it. Telling you your rights don't exist and then passing executive orders, that's despotic. The worst thing Trump did was the bump stock ban because that was not, now I think the Supreme Court, or I'm sorry, one court has ruled,
Starting point is 00:09:31 I think it was what, the Ninth District, I could be wrong, that bump stocks are not machine guns. So that may actually get overturned. But they complain all day about Donald Trump's executive orders. Well, here's Joe Biden. Well, and here's the thing. When you talk about a civil war,
Starting point is 00:09:43 okay, shooting in the streets happened already. All right. So we have had that. But what about information warfare, which we are constantly bombarded with? What about the fact that, like you said, the constitutional rights are being trampled upon in a way that if if the left was actually trying to spark an insurrection what would they do differently all right they're isolating us on social media and shutting our down our right to speech they're trying to disarm us they have declared whiteness to be a an evil thing so they're othering an entire large segment of the population and they're they're using police powers against us they're refusing to let the police help people during the riots. They actually had the police called off. What would they do different if they weren't actually trying to turn this into a hot war? Would you consider what Mao did with the Communist Cultural Revolution a civil war, a Chinese civil war?
Starting point is 00:10:40 Probably more on the purge side from him you know because that was that was using police state powers against it i think we're still empowered enough as conservatives or people of the right whatever you consider yourself i mean i'm a libertarian conservative even moderates even like we're i'm not a particularly conservative person the interesting thing is that i get labeled conservative for simply telling the truth and not being a statist so if you're an anti-statist you automatically get lumped on that side of the political spectrum. This is the craziest thing about it, is that this subject matter you discuss determines whether you're left or right, not your political policies. Because I've had – we had Jack Murphy and Michael Malice in here, and I got into arguments about the wealthy and their ability to influence elections with dumping massive amounts of money.
Starting point is 00:11:22 And I said, I'm against it. I don't think these people should have this much power, much more traditionally left position. Those you're not going to see these grifters on social media take those clips of me screaming like these billionaires and millionaires are, you know, are manipulating our elections. They don't want to show that because then I'm not right wing anymore and they need me to be. Well, and the dividing line is not right or left as much as it is statist or libertarian individualist if you believe you can best determine what you should be doing as long as you're not hurting other people then you're on my team if you believe the state
Starting point is 00:11:55 or the solons of the woke left know better than you how to live your life and what you should do then you're on the other team and you're my enemy. And I don't mind saying you're my enemy because they're trying to push us out of polite society. They're trying to criminalize conservatism or the ideas that they find offensive. And I find that offensive. Right. And I'll tell you this. Ian brings up a good point about China because, you know, Ian asks about what Mao did. You say it's more of a purge.
Starting point is 00:12:23 And I thought to myself, you know what? You're right. Maybe it's not a second civil war because conservatives, for the most part, aren't Mao did. You say it's more of a purge. And I thought to myself, you know what, you're right. Maybe it's not a second civil war. Because conservatives, for the most part, aren't fighting it. But we need to. And that's why. I wrote the book for one reason. And the problem with the right is that we tell eagles don't flock.
Starting point is 00:12:37 You know, I'm not going to be part of a movement or do anything. So they can pick us off one by one. So they can do things like let Twitter shut us down. Like you guys were looking for my Twitter account tonight. Guess what? You can't find it because they grade me out. They put a sensitive filter so you can't even find me by name because they don't like what I say. I haven't violated their rules.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Yeah. Not a single one. Ever. They banned Josie, the redheaded libertarian, for literally no reason. It's a libertarian account. She interacts. She's a friend of ours. And they just deleted her.
Starting point is 00:13:08 It's in their terms of service. They can ban anyone for no reason at any time. And they will. It's a social media credit score. And they're doing that. How they do it, what algorithms they're using to actually do it, I don't know. But it's obvious they're doing it because I haven't violated. I haven't gotten a single strike.
Starting point is 00:13:23 And yet, you don't even see my face. You see grayed out profile picture when you go to my Twitter feed. Look, the social credit system is legit. They might not have a legitimate score or algorithm that calculates it, but we know it's real. You're the wrong kind of person with the wrong opinions. And then all of a sudden, you start getting banned from different platforms if you don't break the rules. You start getting suppressed and shadow banned, and then they ultimately ban you if your opinions are bad. And that's why we've got to stand up.
Starting point is 00:13:51 That's why the people who are not statist, not totalitarian, unwoke-based, white pillars, whatever we want to be, I don't care. But we've got to band together against it and stand up and say no. So how do we prevent a purge and a civil war without firing a shot? The first thing you've got to do is stand up and fight because too many people on the right have been complacent. We were focused on other things. It's one of the things I talk about in the book. The right thought that if we just focus on foreign policy and national security and business and then the Constitution will keep us safe. They can't take that away, can they?
Starting point is 00:14:23 And we found out we were wrong well define fight fight in the figurative term and let me give you how about let's do it but i mean like uh sorry i i didn't think you meant literally go physically fight people just like what would a person have to do to be engaged in this this cultural battle yeah but first let me let's give the disclaimer so that when people come after you, they don't blame you for my book. Neither Tim nor I want a civil war or an insurrection. And this is in no way be considered to be a call for anything like that. Not a dog whistle or anything else. You losers.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Now, figuratively, how we can fight is by banding together and standing up. And we have to actually change our focus. We never used to do that. Did conservatives go to PTA meetings? Did we get involved in state and local politics? No, we didn't think we had to. We thought that the Constitution of First Amendment, Second Amendment were sacrosanct. They're not. They're coming for us. So if they're coming for us, we have to play the same game. And like Andrew Breitbart said, war. These people are evil. They are. Look, I grew up with this very pragmatic, very middle of the road view. I was pretty far left when I was younger. And I always had this view where it's like, there's no real good or evil. Everyone's the hero of their own story. And now as I'm older, you start to really see it and experience it. It's an interesting thing. You hear a lot from people about how when they get
Starting point is 00:15:44 older, they start to believe more in a higher power, more faith-based, especially when they have kids. I'm not getting religious. I'm just saying, man, you really start to understand what evil is. Once you get older, you get involved in politics, you see what these people do. The number one example that really just like was when I heard this one thing, that's when my heart sank and I was like, wow, I have been too nice to people. It was when I heard this one thing, that's when my heart sank and I was like, wow, I have been too nice to people. It was when AOC referred to the child detention centers as influx facilities with controversial records. She spends what during the Trump administration concentration camp over and over and over again. Trump shut down the Homestead facility. Biden reopened it.
Starting point is 00:16:28 And AOC, who had called it a concentration camp, today says influx facility with controversial record. And I was like, wow, that is evil. What's she going to wear? Is she going to wear black this time versus the white outfit? She's got to have a different outfit because it's a different administration. Understand the simplest thing, which you just outlined. Everybody, they will say whatever they have to because they're just after power they want power to tell everyone what to do because
Starting point is 00:16:52 they don't believe people make the decisions that they believe need to be made and they think it's a question of good and evil like you said they think they are the forces of good stopping evil from destroying the planet you know it's not just that you don't believe in climate change you're killing the planet i'm not convinced of that i'm i'm not convinced they actually want to i don't think they have a moralistic goal they just want power for the sake of power they want to be able to tell you to shut up and do as you're told because we're the boss now i've seen it i've been on the ground with these activists you you you can see it and and you brought up something about you know the statist versus the libertarian. I think that really is a good point because you take a look at the conservative never Trumpers or even if you can call them conservative, I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:17:33 They're Democrats now. They're on board. Jennifer Rubin for The Washington Post. She's now attacking the media for asking Biden questions. She's gone full authoritarian statist. And that's opportunist. You know, they're opportunists who followed the money and they followed the status quo that allowed them to keep their influence. And, you know, they didn't care.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Their principles mattered less than their access to power. And I think it's exactly the correct answer. Principles, lack thereof. They didn't have any to begin with. I truly and we learned. I think the good and evil thing is so dangerous it's so subjective how you're raised what you think is right and what you think is wrong and and to to establish public policy based on what you feel is so dangerous like i think biden thinks he's doing good and protecting people
Starting point is 00:18:19 by doing this how would you define evil ian. Ripping someone's heart out and lifting it up in front of a crowd of people. But 600 years ago in Mexico, in the Aztec culture, that was no problem. That was good. But that was evil. Why can't we say that was good? Hurting innocent people is evil. Yeah. It doesn't matter what they think.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Define innocent. Innocent is someone who has done no harm to someone else. You know, if you've got something, if you want to want to get the simple nuanced okay but it's not very nuanced you know if you've got a thing where you say i am going to actively be violent against someone else based on my beliefs then you're evil if you if you believe if a person says to your face, Ian, concentration camps are here and they're right there in Florida, and then come out and tell you. Okay, so first let me ask you, Ian, do you think concentration camps are evil? That's a big question. I don't think it's a hard question because I don't think you'll find a single human, a single human who's going to agree.
Starting point is 00:19:21 When China denies what's going on with the uighur muslims they actively go no that's not happening here they're lying it's not true you know why if they thought it was good they'd say we absolutely do this but they know it's wrong so they lie about it because everyone thinks it's wrong world war ii they established concentration camps for japanese americans that's right they were afraid they were term a concentration camp implies that you're killing people interesting so an internment camp would be different. That's a different form of a prison camp. It was wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:48 And it's a different kind. And it was actually evil, I believe. Yeah. For the sake of this argument, let's just say, OK, fine. We absolutely did. That was wrong. We paid reparations for it. And even people look back and the conservatives look back and they say that was evil.
Starting point is 00:20:02 That was wrong. And even liberals look back and say that was evil. That was wrong. So, yes, many people, many cultures have done evil things. And then later on, as we improve, we say that was evil. So when I when I when I look at evil, I look at someone telling you that concentration camps are evil. And then a year later, once they've attained power, they say ours are justified. When AOC was screaming that Donald Trump's power was illegitimate and we were like, oh, OK, it turns out all she really cared about was she wanted her party to have it. And once the Democrats came in, once they wanted to, now Joe Biden's president, they're just influx facilities.
Starting point is 00:20:40 And you know what AOC said? One solution would be to get them appropriate licenses. So you mean to tell me that this was evil but now you entirely support it now that your guy's in charge they're going to outsource it and have now private prisons for the immigrant children well they shut down the actual private prisons but we'll open new private prisons because we have to have a nice place for our influx of children so so this is the easiest one you know why aoc herself referred to it as evil now she's supporting it well she she would be supporting it with some caveats okay if you tell me it's evil then you come out and say
Starting point is 00:21:18 can we get some approval from the government for these things we just need a license i'm like oh okay so you enjoy being evil yeah you, justifying it something legally doesn't necessarily make it good. You know, bombing a city because those people are planning to destroy your country. That's self-defense. All right, now let's differentiate. You've got good and evil, right? Then when you get into self-defense, all right, how far forward can you go? Right.
Starting point is 00:21:39 I think that person's going to hurt me, so I shot him in the head. Well, okay. You have to have a legitimate threat that you can stand up up but then you're responsible for the consequences of your actions and you can be judged even if you think your intentions are good you can be judged based on the outcome of what you did and you should be and we hold people accountable that's why we can now say internment camps for japanese in world war ii were evil That was an evil thing the United States did. Slavery, evil thing the United States did. Not letting women vote, evil thing the United States did. What's the one thing about all those?
Starting point is 00:22:11 We said they were wrong, we changed them, and now we can look back and say we're making progress towards being less evil every day. And that's the goal. You can never get to good. Good's way too subjective. But evil. I think is easy.
Starting point is 00:22:27 And. All you need do. Is look at their own words. When they say. This is wrong. We must fight it. And we go. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:33 We agree. Let's get you into office. So that you can fight it. And they go. No. We'll keep it. Actually. I got a good question for you.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Ian. Was. Isildur. Was he wrong? Isildur. Yeah. The one ring. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:44 When. When Elrond said, destroy it! Cast it into the fire! And he went, no. His soul was corrupted by the power? Corrupted by the power. Yeah. Would you call it evil?
Starting point is 00:22:55 Not to him. It doesn't matter what he thinks. We all watched him. It depends on who you ask. No, listen. I got to watch it from the outside. That's right. And everyone on Middle-earth knew.
Starting point is 00:23:04 And Elrond said it could have ended that day and it should have. But as soon as he had the ring in his hand, he says, no way. And he walked out of Mount Doom and he kept that ring. And then it made everything worse. And that's exactly what I'm talking about. When libertarian individuals, libertarian right or libertarian left, look at the one ring. I'm using that as a metaphor, mind you. And we say destroy
Starting point is 00:23:26 it no one should have that power we mean it but along comes aoc aka golem going me wants it and then when she takes the ring she goes no it's mine and then she runs out and she keeps it the only reason i can't go 100 with you on that is the ring as he said did corrupt their soul so that was not literally a determination like aoc did it of free will all right isildur did not have free will because the influence of the ring aoc's got no ring to blame she's just got wokeness to blame when boromir tried to take the ring from frodo aragorn kneeled before Frodo and closed his hand. He made the choice. The ring could corrupt you, but some people had the power to resist.
Starting point is 00:24:10 And Galadriel also resisted. Yes. That's right. But she was, you know, elf. And that's strength of character. So you've got strong people and weak people, just as you do now. And so you've got people who like power, like AOC, more than they like being good. The Lord of the Rings really is a great metaphor, the ring of power.
Starting point is 00:24:27 I do use it a lot because it's brilliant writing. It's a brilliant metaphor or allegory for how these political systems work. Everyone fights because the power is evil. But the moment they're holding it and they realize I could do so much with this, it's like in The Fellowship of the Ring when Boromir is like, it is a gift. Let us use the weapon against our enemies. You can't wield it. No one can.
Starting point is 00:24:49 And that's exactly what ends up happening. You get people like AOC who says this stuff about concentration camps. You get these other Democrats who are like, now that I'm in power, I'll do it right. So you know what happens? This is why communism doesn't work. One of the reasons, just one. It's because these idealistic revolutionaries think the ends justify the means. We must use violence, they say, because we have to overthrow the evil oppressors.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Then once they're in power, they still say, but we're at threat from the evil oppressors. A good example, the Berlin Wall was called the anti-fascist protection rampart. The Soviet Union, one of the second most powerful militaristic bloc on the planet, was acting like they were at threat from the fascists. So they built the Berlin Wall and they killed people who dared cross it. That's evil. We can see that. You know, there are real challenges to being a good person. That's why I always talk about how the libertarian spectrum is harder to be on than the authoritarian. And the libertarian left is damn near impossible for those that are libertarian left, true libertarian left, because libertarian leftists are trying to convince people through
Starting point is 00:25:51 goodwill. At least the libertarian right has money and they can talk about trade and persuasion. But it's very difficult because the authoritarians will lie, cheat and steal and take everything you have. And so what happens now is, as you pointed out, eagles don't flock. Good people of good conscience who say, I want you to be free. I want you to be happy and pursue happiness and not be constrained by authoritarianism and those who would manipulate you to steal from you. Well, the other people don't do that. The establishment doesn't do that. They're the ones saying the world is going to end unless we intervene and tell them what to do and we take over.
Starting point is 00:26:26 And that's what it works. And their intentions are good. Their intentions are good, but they understand human nature doesn't allow people to do what they want. So in order to get them to do what they want, the new wokeness, which is the brand since socialism is busted and communism is busted, liberalism is busted, progressivism is busted. So wokeness says we must do this because the people who oppose it are killing the planet. You know, it's not just that you don't want black people to succeed. You want to destroy the black community. You're actually a threat. It's not just that your speech is something I don't want to hear.
Starting point is 00:26:56 It's violence that's hurting people. So we have to shut you up. And that's what they want. It sounds like the Communist Chinese Party is woke. Like that's their. That's where it came from. They're no longer communist. Our people are communist. That's what they want it sounds like the communist chinese party is woke like that's their that's where it came they're no longer communist our people are communist that's what it actually is is our people stole marx and the soviet union and the stasi and the ccp's plans and they built wokeness out of that they just got better marketing that's all they got they got
Starting point is 00:27:20 american style pr that's the only difference. They are communist totalitarians. That's a powerful weapon. I love the projection of it all. I love the projection of it all. You know, if anyone in this country has any similarities to the Nazi party, it's the identitarian left. You can actually look at the things they preach. They're pro-segregation. I saw this on Reddit today.
Starting point is 00:27:42 I think it was in Wholesome Memes is one of the subreddits where the memes are wholesome. And it was Martin Luther King Jr. looking angry, and it said, judging people on the color of their skin. Then it showed him smiling, and it said, judging people on the content of their character. All the comments were like, could you imagine someone who disagreed with this? And I was like, wow, have you taken a look at the US military? Have you taken a look at the Pentagon? Have you taken a look at schools lately? The New York City schools want to do, I'm sorry, Sacramento District want to do racial affinity groups where they segregate everybody based on race. Sorry, these people don't support Dr. King's dream. Their ideology is fascistic. I wouldn't call it fascism because it's not the
Starting point is 00:28:19 same thing. It's authoritarianism, and it adopted many of the tenets from fascism. And David Graeber, who was a very famous activist anthropologist he was an anarchist he didn't like being called that apparently but he pointed this out on twitter a few years ago the late david graber you know he was one of the voices behind occupy wall street and he tweeted a few years ago that elements of the left have begun adopting fascistic strategies and tactics they believe there is no truth but power that's exactly it this is why the narrative They believe there is no truth but power. That's exactly it.
Starting point is 00:28:48 This is why the narrative changes and there's no rules. To these people in the establishment and the woke left, there is no truth but power. That means they will lie to you and tell you insane things. It's exactly why we saw so many prominent Black Lives Matter activists insulting and saying slurs against Asian people for years. Now that the anti-Asian hate thing has become a big movement, now all of a sudden they flip-flopped. But now they're getting canceled for it. The rules don't matter.
Starting point is 00:29:14 But it's projection. That's the best thing about the left is whenever you see them saying something about the right, it's projection of what they feel inside. So they literally do have racist tendencies. They do have tendencies against Asians. They have fascistic tendencies. And they call us Nazis, me being a person of the right. They call us Nazis because they want that kind of power. I don't want that kind of power. You know, I'm not saying I know better than you how you should live your life. I'm saying you should have the right to live your life as long as you're not harming other people they say you are harming the planet and all of its inhabitants with your ideas
Starting point is 00:29:51 and beliefs i must stop you from doing it therefore i need the power as you said but a lot of these people know that the average person views what they're doing is wrong so they have to lie about it that's why i said I mentioned this meme where Dr. King is saying, judge people based on the content of their character, because most people agree with that. In order to instill racist, Nazi-like ideology, they have to use clever semantic games like anti-racist. Are you anti-racist? It's not enough to not be racist. You must be anti-racist. And then you ask them what anti-racism means. And you know what Ibram X. Kennedy says? It means you must discriminate against people on the basis of
Starting point is 00:30:27 race. I'm pretty sure Dr. King said not to do that. Oh, but they don't care. They don't actually believe him. This is the one thing that really gets these people. Whenever I'm talking to a woke person, I'll ask them. The first thing I will ask him is, do you believe in Dr. King's dream? I've actually now started hearing him say no. It's in my other book, The Myth of White Fragility, taking down robin d'angelo's disgraceful book she says in there that dr king's dream of colorblindness is a problem so does candy you know they say that you can't have a colorblind society because there is so much systemic racism and institutional injustice that you have to actively be an anti-racist and be
Starting point is 00:31:02 racist so it's essentially building a new jim crow all right they want a new jim crow and it's not about voting laws it's about who gets to be the upper side now so they want to flip things because white people were bad before we need to now elevate black people and people of color and go ahead and make that the actual legitimate power balance i don't think they actually care about white people i think they just want power and they found a path to get it. And it doesn't matter which race they trample on. That's why they ragged on Asians for so long. Interesting. We're a good target, you know, because we were oppressors. You know, they've got that. They can't take that away. There was oppression. There was slavery. There was women couldn't vote. All those things are true.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Bald white guys in bad wigs wrote a bunch of crazy stuff. Right. But we also fixed it. Right. And we gave those powers up. You look at how they actually claimed Asians were more privileged for a long time. And that's why I think the issue where they go after whiteness is that it's an easy way to go to someone and say all of your problems come from someone else. Right. It's demagoguery. They accuse Trump of doing the exact same thing when Trump did to a certain degree, but not nearly as much as they do when they say whiteness over and over again and privilege and all that stuff they're basically just telling people the reason you failed is not your fault it's that guy over there it's it's brilliant i saw this great meme from a leftist
Starting point is 00:32:18 on facebook it was it said it's it's one of those twitter memes where it says, employees, colon, we need better wages and health care because we're suffering and dying. And then it says, capital, colon, no. And then it says, woke capital, no, hashtag BLM, rainbow flag, heart. And I got to say, I love that meme. While I certainly don't agree with their view on capitalism, at least they're starting to notice the corporatist establishment is not going to give the leftists what they want. They're just going to put a rainbow flag up and say, now you can't be mad at us. Well, and what I love most, though, is they needed an enemy. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:55 And like you said, OK, it's not so much maybe they don't actually believe the white people are the problem. I think they do. But they made whiteness evil. They turned it into an ideology that doesn't exist. Whiteness didn't exist for me. I've been white for a long time. All right. I didn't have a methodology towards my whiteness.
Starting point is 00:33:10 I didn't wake up and say, OK, 9 to 930, I'm going to oppress black people. You know, 945, I'll switch to trans people. No, I was busy living my life. But they othered us. They used their own methodology. And now they've got someone to go against. And they've got something to they've got spoils because what they did is they take their identity groups. Right. And they create a grievance and they take that grievance to someone who has something they want and they use their power.
Starting point is 00:33:37 They aggregate power by delivering the spoils to their identity group. The problem is they've run into the circular firing squad problem. They can't rectify among their identity groups the problems they have because you've got black people beating up Asians. You've got a lot of issues. And Jews. And you've got problems between these groups that are not just cognitive dissonance. They're ideological dissonance, and they can't rectify that. You remember what happened in the U.K. when the Muslims were protesting
Starting point is 00:34:04 the LGBT curriculums in schools? Right. It was really weird because you'd have these woke people come out and start arguing with Muslims and you'd have like women in like full niqab and then you'd have a man screaming in the face of a woke person who's confused.
Starting point is 00:34:19 And there was one video where the guy's like, I'm here to help you. I'm on your side. I'm here to help you. And they're like, no, you're not. The Muslim guy's like, this is to help you i'm on your side i'm here to help you and they're like no you're not the the muslim guy's like this is degeneracy and you're wrong and i'm like i wonder if these people who truly believe their insane psychobabble have ever actually spoken with a religious conservative person i don't mean a christian i mean when they
Starting point is 00:34:37 come out they they you know i had a friend who has that a picture of a woman in a hijab and it says something like hope or something like you know hope underneath it and I'm like it's really fascinating that you are propping up religious conservatism and like because Islam is substantially more traditional than even modern Christianity in the United States it's totalitarian if it's implemented the way you know the Salafists
Starting point is 00:34:58 do and that's the fun part there's this perfect circular firing squad right there is you've got people who hate gays and want to hang them from cranes arguing with a gay dude who's telling them that they're oppressed and arguing about a curriculum that they don't want in their school. There's no way you could square that circle. And that's how we beat them. But that's how we beat them. The issue is I don't think – I think the circular firing squad matters to a certain degree.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Right now we've got this this school board member in California. They're demanding she resign because she said a bunch of disparaging things about Asian people. But at the time they were allowed to do that. It was part of their ideology to disparage Asians. Now that they can't do that, they're coming for the circular firing squad. But this person said, I'm not quitting. I don't care. And how long until they just move on to the next stupid nonsense and start claiming that, you know, who knows what the next thing is going to be?
Starting point is 00:35:47 Just some ridiculous form of oppression that a minority group will have. It's like, oh, you know, people with long fingernails that, you know, they just grow too long. So, you know, they're oppressed. People who eat too much, they're oppressed. We know that. Here's where I think it might bite them is they invented this several generations of entitled grievance mongers, I call them, right, who have been told that it's not your fault. It's those people's fault. Now they work at places like Google.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Are you familiar with Timnit Gaboru? No. She was the head of Google's artificial intelligence ethics team. Oh, yeah. She's a black woman. She built a team of the purple-haired freakazoid robots and all her best friends right they wanted to publish a paper the problem was it went through google's review board and they said first of all the science is kind of garbage second of all you're trashing our company you know and
Starting point is 00:36:35 third of all this is basically just woke grievances right fix it or we're not going to let you put it out under our name and they launched it it. And then Google fired her. Right. And all of a sudden, it's not because she violated both scientific principles, academic principles and company policy. It's because she's black. And now she's got thousands of Google employees who are backing her play because she's been told you're not wrong. You're just being oppressed. Right. you're not wrong you're just being oppressed right if you're black at google then and you
Starting point is 00:37:06 don't get everything you want you have a right to demand that they they meet your grievances james demore was an excellent example of how insane the ideology is so uh you're familiar with james demore imagine yeah so for those that aren't familiar he wrote a letter about ways to improve the workplace between men and women and And it was based on scientific research. And he was like sharing with people. And then a bunch of feminists got really offended by it. And then he ended up losing his job. There was a lawsuit.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I think they settled. The funny thing is, James Damore's document was actually based upon modern feminist theory. It said things like workplaces were designed by men for men and that we need to change things to better suit women. According to a study, women prefer social experiences more so than like top-down and isolated work environments. If men prefer X and women prefer Y, the workplace must be some combination of the two to accommodate for women. The women said, how dare you imply women are inherently one way or another. We are angry.
Starting point is 00:38:07 You should be fired. To reiterate how insane that is, he was literally saying that Google's work environment was built by patriarchy and that they needed to accommodate the woman better. And so they got mad and demanded he lose his job. The women did. The women did. Isn't that amazing? He's basically agreeing with everything they've been saying.
Starting point is 00:38:27 But you can't accommodate them. That's the thing. You can't accommodate them. And what they figured out is all they need is a disparity of outcome. All right? You say we have a disparity. There are too few black engineers, you know, with freckles working at Google. Therefore, that's a racist systemic issue that they have to deal with.
Starting point is 00:38:46 And then they jump right from there instead of looking at outcomes and say, well, maybe there aren't a lot of black freckled people who get into the tech field. Maybe that's why there aren't as many at Google. They're like, no, no, no, no, it's racist. So they skip the step of the scientific process that says you identify a disparate outcome and then you look at potential causes, identify the ones that correlate the best they jump straight from that to systemic racism but the problem is that eliminates any look at root causes and you can never fix it so that's where equity comes in so one uh really great example of the corruption colleges now majority female yeah Many colleges, I should say, are majority female.
Starting point is 00:39:25 So men are now the minority in colleges. Do we now start abolishing all of the women's programs, women's scholarships, and creating men's ones? I don't think so, no. So you think the majority should get privileged money and access and resources? What are you, a bigot? Shouldn't the minorities be the one who get help because they're in the minority? Well, that would be like dudes in college at this point because it's mostly women.
Starting point is 00:39:48 And here's the thing. That changed in my lifetime. When I was in elementary school, that was when they started that stuff. And they said there aren't enough women going to college. There aren't enough. So they literally, inside of several decades, managed to flip that on its head. Now, the question is, what do we want? Do we want equality of outcome?
Starting point is 00:40:10 Right. We want to make sure that every group in society is equally represented in every outcome that we can come up with, because that's what wokeness demands. And it can't be met because humans humans don't work that way. So what we have to figure out is how do we get back to equality of opportunity? Because that's all you can do. and that's that's where i think our side needs to look at it and say we can see the disparate outcome i agree with you there's too many black people in prison i don't want them in prison except most of them committed crimes so how do we stop them committing crimes not how do we get them out of prison well there's there's interesting arguments about that uh questions about whether or not based on race look at harsher sentences for the same crime which there are stats that show. And so the issue I see, there's real instances of racism. There's real instances of bias.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Historical racism has created a ripple effect throughout history in today's modern generation. And an honest person like, I think you'd hear this from Tucker Carlson. Of course, there's racism. We'd like to solve these problems. But these people are hustlers. They're grifters. They're manipulators. They tell the privileged elites are hustlers. They're grifters. They're manipulators. They tell the privileged elites they're oppressed. They would claim to you that Oprah Winfrey or Serena Williams are oppressed. Meanwhile, a homeless veteran sleeping under a gutter who happens to be white is the oppressor. That's the insanity of their ideology. Honest people say, yeah, racism is a problem. I think we've actually done a lot in this country to do away with it. We've passed many new laws.
Starting point is 00:41:26 There's been new Supreme Court rulings. We've done a tremendous job ending these things. But there are remnants of these historical policies and actions in private and public affairs. Redlining and blockbusting, very serious consequences for various people. Well, the people on the left manipulate the goodwill of regular people who don't want racism and they lie to them and tell them they can't advance exactly we've done a lot of legal good uh to combat racism in the united states emotional is like an up and down back and forth situation and when we let the media tell us that we're different because of the colors of our skins. That kind of is damaging or undoing a lot of the good we can do to unify humans in our culture.
Starting point is 00:42:10 But I do agree that legally the United States has done a lot of positive things to bypass and break through the racist curtain. And wokeness is resegregating. That's the problem. Identity politics is resegregation. And they're breaking people out and saying, no, your skin color actually is more important than the content of your character. And so we're going to put you in this block and you will vote with these people and you will identify with these people and you will get spoils from us because you're one of these people. destructive thing to what is a a republic of equals i can even imagine is to say that no the intangible characteristics matter more than your character that that offends me more than anything else they do and i think we can call out races we can call out these problems and say we want to fix
Starting point is 00:42:58 them and we want to help but we have to do it by saying yes the content of your character matters more than the quality of your skin let's talk about where this leads to as not only the result of this ideology but one of the tactics in the ideology and we got the story from newsweek which i find absolutely sad it's sad and funny police prepare for another hot summer of violent street clashes as u.s reopens really nothing's even happened yet what what what covid is going to cause this what the getting people getting back from covid is going to cause riots i don't think that's what no i think what they're saying is that regardless the police are getting prepared because even though there's been no police brutality even though there's been no major breaking story the cops know that doesn't matter you'll get a
Starting point is 00:43:46 video of a you know i'll give you an example there's a cop playing basketball with the local kids and they're all laughing one of the kids happens to be black and the cop he he's you know he's going up to you know do a jump shot he jump shots and then he bumps into one of the kids the kid falls over and then everyone shows a clip of a cop bumping into a kid knocking him over and they're like police brutality i'm exaggerating obviously but the point i'm making is you'll get something out of context you'll get some hip-hop some some hearsay some random rumor and then all of a sudden here we go again you know what else that article is saying is our company newsweek is flailing and losing money and we're desperate for clicks so here's some rage bait crap well and here's the funny thing though the cops are getting ready
Starting point is 00:44:23 i'll tell you what the cops are getting ready to do they're loading their stuff to get out of the way for the riots because their civilian leaders are not going to let them stop those riots and like you said they got the most recent incident cop shoots a kid who had a gun doesn't matter that the kid had a gun you know he's 15 he had a gun he got shot the cops are supposed to shoot that kid when he points a gun at him let's talk they're not supposed to take a bullet let's talk about those two girls in dc who carjacked that guy right yeah carjacked him committing a felony killed him they're not going to get jail time no car written house defending a local business chased and attacked by a violent rioter of violent rioters fires in self-defense and immediately runs to get police
Starting point is 00:45:05 assistance he's in jail do those girls carjack that guy and then hit the gas and murdered him threw him out of his car and murdered him no jail time at one level 13 and 15 i'm like they're not adults you know i i'm i'm how 17 elevate that but it also sends a message that, oh, keep carjacking. Now, Rittenhouse will get off. I have looked at that. I'm actually writing a piece that I'm going to give to the defense justifying why that is self-defense by every legitimate legal standard.
Starting point is 00:45:36 But why did he get charged with first-degree murder? I'll tell you why. Because Black Lives Matter intimidated the civilian leaders through violence into changing their policy and charging with that. Now, what's that? That's domestic terrorism.
Starting point is 00:45:50 It is. We have no real leaders. We have no real leaders. You got to keep – no one is immune to belligerence like – I mean, I just keep thinking of Nazi Germany, man. They thought they were – they were a democracy up until that point, the German people. And violent coercion can happen at any time to any group of people. So we have to be aware of that.
Starting point is 00:46:10 We have to be cognizant that that can take hold, man. There's no leaders, bro. There's no leaders. Where was the prosecutor from Wisconsin to walk out and say, I'm not charging him with a crime. Have a nice day. Same place the ones in Minneapolis were
Starting point is 00:46:26 Or any place else But here's the dangerous thing Black Lives Matter has now been told That violence to intimidate public policy Works So they committed terrorist acts Those were used to change policy And now they were rewarded with hundreds of millions
Starting point is 00:46:42 Of dollars in revenue And the policies they want so we're in a situation where there are now two rules all right we had an afternoon of violence at the capitol and that was the greatest insurrection and biggest threat to the republic in the history of earth and we had an entire year plus of insurrection by the left and it's like you know because excuse me excuse me excuse me, excuse me. No, no, no, no, no. Those are peaceful protests. Mostly, mostly fiery, but peace.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Ninety three percent. One of the best. Fiery, but mostly peaceful protest. But the threat of violence doesn't even have to be violence now. Now here's where they want. They committed the violence and they will again because, hey, I mean, somebody needs flat screen. You know, we got flat screens are in high demand. But whatever justification they use to start the riots, those will happen.
Starting point is 00:47:30 The police will not stop them again. And again, people now Kyle Rittenhouse was literally acting as a member of the militia, not the militia by name that Kenosha guard or whatever it was. But in the Second Amendment, it is expected that in the absence of government authority to keep people safe, they have the right and the ability to protect themselves, themselves and their property. So he went and protected property at the invitation of the owners.
Starting point is 00:47:57 And he did not bring a gun across state lines. No. His friend gave him a gun, okay? And the issues about should he have had the gun, he's 17, okay. Those are legitimate. Deal with those. But that's administrative.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Right. The right of people in the absence of the police. The police were stood down and pulled back, and people's businesses and livelihoods and lives were threatened. They have a right to have weapons and to protect themselves. That's what the militia is. Here's another question. That's what the militia is. understand there's interpretations in you know from the supreme court but i wonder which of those would actually stand in the long run because you know back then what a 15 year old was an adult yeah they could have guns and i think biden as much as he is a doddering fool and an idiot and said some dumb things today of course no amendment is absolute all right there there are no actual
Starting point is 00:49:00 absolutes in politics it's not possible to have an absolute in politics but what you can say is under the interpretations and the standing law and precedent right now the things he's doing are unconstitutional as per heller versus dc or dc versus heller you know i would do if i was in congress i would create the two plus two equals four bill and it would simply say congress asserts that two plus two equals four that's it you can vote on it or not because they tried saying the woke people two plus two equals four. That's it. Are you going to vote on it or not? Because they tried saying the woke people, two plus two could equal five. I would probably filibuster that because in base three math, there is no numeral four. You only have zero, one, two.
Starting point is 00:49:35 It's always the geek. It's always that they got you. I'm the nerd. But this is exactly the constructivist ideology that I can change the definition in order to make you wrong, as opposed to admitting what we know is two plus two equals four. You can change the context, but now you're arguing something totally different. It would be like if we're playing baseball and I said, if I hit this ball a hundred feet and it goes over that fence, it's a home run. You go, well, some fences are at 75 feet. Some are at 150 feet. I'm like, I didn't ask that. I'm talking about this fence right here.
Starting point is 00:50:06 So what they're doing is they're going, well, 2 plus 2 could equal 5. Because what if we're saying 2.4 plus 2.4, which is 4.8, which rounded up as 5? Well, you didn't say 2.4, did you? So the point is – If you said in base 10, in base 5 or above, 2 plus 2 equals 4, I cannot deny that. What average person is thinking in anything other than base time right now? Probably none of them. None of them.
Starting point is 00:50:28 So this is the constructivist ideology to change the definition to manipulate the results. Look at the best one they did. All right. They changed the definition of racism. Right. So that you have to be in a position of power in order to be a racist so that black people and other people of color and and other identity groups that are preferred victim groups cannot be racist yep that's garbage you know once
Starting point is 00:50:52 you do that it's the same as saying okay now men women male female okay those words male female still i think are xxxy right anymore but i changed it did they and so man woman means nothing regular people in this country will say male and female are specific they they relate specifically to the gametes you know sperm or egg in woke nomenclature male and female are arbitrary concepts that don't mean anything and they said by they've said this for years now in a debate with jordan peterson there was one uh university employee historian of medicine who said that biological sex is not a real thing, which is just absolutely untrue. They're doing these things. That's why I was like, right now you have an opportunity to pass a bill that says two plus two equals four.
Starting point is 00:51:38 You'll probably get some opposition. No joke. You will. But that's the good thing. So we can stand up and say, okay, that's BS. And that's a good thing so we can excuse me we can stand up and say okay that's bs you know and that's the problem is for too long they've been unopposed and they've been doing that they've been changing definitions and people were like i'm busy i gotta get my kids to soccer practice right well you can no longer get your kids to soccer practice in this country if they're
Starting point is 00:52:00 going to do what they're doing you have to spend some of your time fighting back against wokeness or we will no longer have a republic where your kids are allowed to play soccer. The racist thing I can't I can't wrap my head around like some debates I can have two plus two equals four. OK, there's multiple bases of mathematics. Four doesn't exist in all of them. a class or or a group of people are are prejudiced against that it's impossible for them to be racist against other other types is in that i can't i can't come to terms with but that's what they want and that's i mean it's all 1984 all right orwell did this you know back long ago the idea is to tell you what truth is and confuse you so you can't oppose it because they want power and you get power by forcing
Starting point is 00:52:45 people to accept your version of the truth that's why they say let me give you my truth right no and rest in power yeah no there is no your truth you have your opinion right it's not your truth you know there is truth there is falsehood there is good there is evil there are absolutes in philosophical ideas like that there are not absolutes in politics and what they want to do is flip that on its head and give you their absolutes in politics which is that black people can't be racist and expect you not to go no flag on the play you know sorry have you seen the winnie the pooh meme where it's like a regular winnie the pooh then it says a word then it says him wearing a monocle, then him wearing a suit?
Starting point is 00:53:26 There's one where it's regular Winnie the Pooh and it says, my opinion. Then it's him with a monocle and a mustache and it says, anecdotal evidence. And then the bottom one is him in a tuxedo and it says, my lived experience. But okay, there you are. As long as you can say it is how I feel because it's all about the feels. The left lives on emotion. All right. And, and wokeness is all about trying to create a society where people can't be judged as
Starting point is 00:53:52 good, bad, or indifferent, and they can't be offended. They have a right to be free from offense, which conflicts with the first amendment, which was designed. So I can offend. I'm sorry. It conflicts with reality. Like I get offended by the woodpecker who keeps banging on the tree outside what am i going to do about it sometimes things exist i get offended by the rain how dare you
Starting point is 00:54:12 rain i'm trying to skateboard right here what do you some things you can't do anything about well you can get a bb gun and take care of that woodpecker unless it's a red cockaded woodpecker in which case you can't because it's protected. Well, the idea is you could be sitting in your own home, sitting there with your gut hanging out, drinking a beer and eating your fifth slice of pizza. And Amy Schumer comes on and you go, she's nasty. And then they find out and they freak out and they get mad. How dare you say that? You're fat phobic. Also, like if two people are hanging out and one person feels offense, who did the offending? Was this person offended or did this person offend or did this person receive it or create?
Starting point is 00:54:58 You can't. Like, it's not how I feel about how you acted. I can't say I feel this. So you made me feel it. No, no, no. I made myself feel this way based on my surroundings that I – But wokeness teaches that you should look for offense. I mean they literally teach that's why the grievance is so important.
Starting point is 00:55:17 The grievance is the basis for wokeness because you need the grievance to create a need for spoils and reparations. So are they – is this like proactive defense thing like i think they're gonna harm me in the future so i'm gonna i'm gonna come out hard and strong and no no no no bomb the country i want power so i'm going to manipulate people to get power it's that simple right now a lot a lot of people you ever see fight club yeah you see watching clips from remember remember that line from edward norton where he's like a like most people will do everything in their power to avoid getting into a fight
Starting point is 00:55:47 yeah the woke people figured that out so they go into your workplace and you're sitting there typing away on your computer like I just want to get my job done and they go excuse me
Starting point is 00:55:56 dude that's terror did you have a turkey sandwich turkey is racist because the pilgrims use turkey as a symbol of their colonization when they killed the Native Americans. You can't be eating turkey today because it's Indigenous Day.
Starting point is 00:56:10 And then, you know what people do? I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I'm so sorry. I don't want to get into a fight. I don't want to deal with this. Can I just go home now? That's like low-key terrorism. It's literal terrorism. It's information warfare against you. And the only answer to it is to not care.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Right. I mean, that's my favorite thing. When I wrote Myth of White Fragility, I'm like, hmm, I wonder if I'm going to get called a racist. And after the 65,000th time, it didn't bother me to start with, right? Because I know I'm not. But the idea now that everyone needs to be able to stand up and say, no, you can call me that. But it doesn't change my lived reality, which is that I'm not. And so I'm going to stand up and say, shut up.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Quit being a jerk. I got work to do. First of all, get out of here. And second of all, I'm having another turkey sandwich. It's amazing to me how many people try to convince these woke people that they're not actually racist. I'm like, bro, they know you're not racist. They don't care. I tweeted something.
Starting point is 00:57:05 This is funny. On Twitter, right? So I had this big rant on a couple different nights about campaign finance and how I really, really think it's wrong that billionaires can dump hundreds of millions of dollars to, for instance, ban gun rights. I say that one because it should resonate with people who want Second Amendment. When you get Tom Steyer and Bloomberg spending $500 million to convince people guns should be banned by lying about what an assault weapon is, even though that doesn't really
Starting point is 00:57:26 define anything. That makes me angry. The same is true for any billionaire. I don't care what they're pushing. I don't like the idea that someone's going to spend money, go into your district and then tell all your neighbors to vote against their own rights. I got a problem with that. So we get this thing where Marjorie Taylor Greene, she raises $3.2 million in her first
Starting point is 00:57:41 quarter. AOC only raised 768K. So Marjorie Taylor Greene has raised nearly five times as much as AOC did in her first quarter. AOC only raised 768K. So Marjorie Taylor Greene has raised nearly five times as much as AOC did in her first quarter. And so I quote tweeted and I just put, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I'm laughing. You know, I'm laughing because they like to talk about the millionaires and the billionaires. And I've been complaining about external donations into districts to manipulate politics. I was laughing about Marjorie Taylor Greene because it shows the media smears backfired and campaign finance,
Starting point is 00:58:10 which they don't care about AOC, is now propping up something they don't like. But these people don't... So what happens is they tweet at me like, see, you clearly support Marjorie Taylor Greene. I'm like, I'm not going to argue with you because you're an idiot. I know you have no idea what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:58:24 It's just tribalism where they pretend. They pretend where they'm like, I'm not going to argue with you because you're an idiot. I know you have no idea what you're talking about. It's just tribalism where they pretend. They pretend where they're like, are you actually going to defend Marjorie Taylor Greene? And I was like, what about ha, ha, ha, ha, ha is defending anybody? Like, please explain that to me. The best part about that was where you showed the part where Google translated it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The translation was I think I need some work. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:44 It wasn't even a translation. That was the best. Yeah. So Google offered to translate it for me. And I. You're saying don't bother defending yourself against it. I think that's a great statement because, I mean, if an alligator wants to fight you underwater, it's going to drag you underwater.
Starting point is 00:58:57 You're going to lose that fight. Exactly. You got to make them go on land. So one thing I always look out for when people actually try and debate you, a common tactic of dim-witted or mid-witted individuals is to force you to fight underwater. It's a good analogy, Ian. And so what will happen is they'll, it's a Mott and Bailey. They'll say, I think X, and you'll go, well, X is this. And they'll go, well, actually, but why? We're not talking about why. I don't care. Never let them redirect. Someone will like, so there's a guy I know who like tweets at me and he quote tweets me and he'll say something like tim pool did x i'll respond with actually
Starting point is 00:59:28 i did y and then he'll change the subject change the subject and be like yeah well don't you remember when you did z and i'll be like when it comes to y i just totally disregard any attempt at derailing and dragging me underwater i won't even mention it they want to derail you and there's literally no reason to talk about something you don't want to talk about. So don't fight an alligator underwater. And if someone says – That's a quote from Ian. Do you think A or B?
Starting point is 00:59:50 You don't have to say A or B. You can say whatever you want. Your answer can be anything. You do not have to answer questions the way people want you to. Like Ian, what color is the sky? Doesn't matter. We've got free will. We can literally do what we want.
Starting point is 01:00:04 We don't have to do what they say that's true that's a great way to fight what people are scared i know and that's the problem all right and they should be scared because they're very good at hurting you all right they're attacking your livelihood you know they'll attack you at your family they'll attack you at your work they can get you fired all right that hurts regular people in a real way that's why we have to band together now we don't have to have to form support groups and have safe spaces for people on the right to say, oh, the wokeness is making me feel bad. We just have to do what But you can do You can stop them from the redirect You can say no no no I'm just talking about what you just did You said I'm a racist for eating turkey
Starting point is 01:00:50 That's garbage And if you want to go anywhere from there I'm not going to indulge you But I don't believe eating turkey is racist Neither do you You're a jerk for bringing it up You want to know what I would do I'd show up the next day with turkey sandwiches for the entire office We had Vosh on the show.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Do you know who Vosh is? Yeah, yeah. And I had some right personalities say, like, I can't believe you would invite this person on your show. And so my response is, I'm going to book him again. It's like, dude, I don't play that game. You're not scared of a different opinion? You're not scared of people who disagree with you? You don't feel they have to be isolated and pushed out and quarantined?
Starting point is 01:01:25 I think if we need to talk to people. Did you get a vaccine? Did you get a vaccine? How'd that work, man? How'd you get that? I'm stunned. How could you have people with different opinions on your show? I lived in Madison, Wisconsin, which is one of the reddest cities on earth.
Starting point is 01:01:39 I was introduced by everyone who knew me there as this is Jim, my conservative friend. Because I was the only one they knew, right? Yet we managed to coexist. We managed to disagree. We managed to say that, hey, okay, you have, because what I do with them is I say, look, I think we have the same goal. I think we both want people to be safe and prosperous and live their lives and not be killed by things. All right. But I think we have different methods that we think will achieve that. And I think mine are more effective.
Starting point is 01:02:08 And here's why I think yours are less effective. And if in the end we don't agree, we go our separate ways. We vote and we continue to live as Americans. The problem with wokeism is you can't do that because they think if you don't follow their way, you are actually literally causing harm and they they have actually a religious duty to them to stop you we do have good news though there is
Starting point is 01:02:33 a phrase i'm sure most of you have uh have heard get woke go broke yeah check this story out from bounding into comics new rumor claims that falcon and the winter soldier viewers turned off the show after black lives Matter messaging. Before we even get into this, I'm just going to say I believe it. So there was this meme. I wouldn't say it was a meme. It was some data that was posted on Reddit where it was like critic reviews versus audience review disparities.
Starting point is 01:02:59 So it was like a data Reddit. And you can see where movies where the critics said it was bad, but the audience said it was good. And movies where the critics said it was good and the audience said it was bad. Captain Marvel was one of them. Captain Marvel is rotten, according to the audience, but fresh, according to the critics. Surprise, surprise. So here's the story. They say this.
Starting point is 01:03:18 For those that are familiar, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier is one of those new shows on Disney+. They say a relatively new rumor claims that viewers of the recently released Falcon and the Winter Soldier turned it off after the show featured Black Lives Matter messaging. They say Overlord DVD claims that a source communicated to him that the tune-out timestamp for the second episode of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier revealed viewers stopped watching the show before the episode ended. As explained by Overlord DVD, Tots is logged, Tots' timestamp, what is it, tune-out timestamp, is logged on Disney Plus whenever a viewer stops
Starting point is 01:03:52 watching a particular movie or television episode. It's useful to the bean counters at Disney Plus to note when they lose a particular viewer because this can give them valuable data about how the show is doing and what the viewer thinks about. goes on to state the source claims that around 5 p.m on saturday across the board the time out tune the time out tune stamp is that wait the tune out time stamp they got it backwards for the second episode of the falcon winter soldier went crazy with people turning off the show in droves all around the same part of the show within seconds that part of the show apparently they show this image where the cops pull up to sam and bucky now bucky's a white dude sam's a black dude and the cops are like is there a problem sir to the to bucky who's white and he's like no he's my friend and they're like are you all right what's he doing
Starting point is 01:04:35 and then he's like don't you know who this is and they're like what that's the falcon and they go oh i'm so sorry i saw that i was just was just like, dude, come on, man. That's subtle, though. That was really subtle. That was subtle. Yeah. I'm missing this. Who's the Falcon?
Starting point is 01:04:50 The Falcon? Yeah. Not in the broads. No, I don't know who the Falcon is in the broads. But is the Falcon the white guy or the black guy? Black guy. Okay. And they were like, have reverence for this guy?
Starting point is 01:05:00 And everyone was like, oh. The cops pulled up, and they saw a white guy and a black guy arguing, and then asked the white guy if he was all right and if he needed help because of this black guy because he fit the profile man he was a superhero people had it and then bucky is like don't you know who that is it's like that's the falcon and then the cop goes like oh geez i didn't realize they were doing this you know yeah the very kind of over the head a little bit. That's the problem. They can't keep it out of the culture. I mean, Breitbart said the greatest thing, you know, politics is downstream from culture.
Starting point is 01:05:32 All right. That's what they do is they inject those things into the culture and they expect people not to notice. Here's the problem. They are so unsubtle these days. Trump made them so crazy that they ripped the masks off and they stopped being subtle and now they're just beating you over the head about it wow people don't like that trump was the artistic trojan horse he got in there and just caused the entertainment industry to go haywire or the giant stink bomb let off in the room or whatever you want to call it but he
Starting point is 01:05:59 made them so angry they stopped being good at their pr game check this out they're going to say the source says quote my jaw hit the floor i couldn't believe what i was seeing all the turnout was at the cop scene where it clearly shows they were ready to pull their guns on a black guy arguing with a white guy it's clear this was the message he goes on to state so in other words disney felt like sticking a black lives matter message smack dab in the middle of the falcon and winter soldier episode two and what do you know apparently fans who are sick to death of Wow. the number would apparently increase over the next few days as well according to this source over the next few days the average went up to 83.49 overall that means 83.49 of viewers turned off the episode at almost exactly the same woke point he adds the source claims there were also a lot of subsequent cancellations happening in real time maybe it's not a real source maybe it's not
Starting point is 01:07:01 good information i don't know it's it's rumor it's Maybe it's not good information. I don't know. It's rumor. It's rumor. It makes me feel good. How about that? Nothing else. And here's the nice thing. We can play information warfare. Yeah, that's actually definitive. I heard a guy say that too. There is no doubt.
Starting point is 01:07:16 A Disney guy is now in my ear right now telling me that that's fact. That like, what would you call it? Enhances my love for humanity. My belief that humanity is awake, aware, and wise, if that's real. The get well, go broke stuff? Yeah, the people just have no time for this junk. I was just watching Family Guy earlier, and it's one of the older episodes where Joe, who's the cop, you guys know Family Guy. He pulls up, and then Peter's sitting on the couch, and he hears on the megaphone, it's the police, come out with your hands up or something.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Peter goes outside, and he sees Cleveland, Quagmire, and Joe in a SWAT van. And he's like, wow, what's this? And then Joe's like, come on, we're going for a beer run in this new police van. The next scene, it shows them in the police van. And then Joe goes, the van is equipped with the latest police technology. He says, Peter, stand in the circle. Peter walks into a circle and then all of a sudden arms come down. It goes, you are under arrest. And then it grabs his hands and cuffs him. have the right to remain silent and then peter goes wow cool and then cleveland goes let me try cleveland of course being the black character and joe goes cleveland no wait don't and then two arms come down with batons and start beating him going minority suspect
Starting point is 01:08:17 found and then when quagmire falls to the ground they go oh no he has a gun and then it lowers a gun that was really funny. It's an old family guy joke. That's one way to incorporate these ideas in humor that most people would laugh about because it's not asserting necessarily as a truth. It's not like a scene in an action drama where the cops are going after
Starting point is 01:08:38 a superhero, oh no, because they're racist. It was making a joke about racism while being very, very subtle and funny about it. Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder. Did you guys see that movie? I was watching the interview with him and Rogan last night again, and he was talking about it and how it's still he hasn't been, you know, because that that movie was making fun of the actors that would play that character of blackface. He wasn't playing blackface. He was playing a white guy that was in blackface.
Starting point is 01:09:02 And it was very obvious how ridiculous it can be. And that's what Family Guy does in a lot of ways. And it's smart. Crowder does in a lot of ways. They cancel him for it. They try to cancel him for it. But if they got back to that, like it's when Jon Stewart started doing the news and he became essentially CNN for the left. And when he was doing the Daily Show, he would play clown nose on, clown nose off.
Starting point is 01:09:24 It was never off. Right. he would play clown nose on, clown nose off. It was never off, right? It was all clown nose. Yeah. And because of that, he inserted so much leftist propaganda and viewpoints that he could never get in and get people to listen to in a straight news shot. But Jon Stewart was honest. He was. Jon Stewart praised Project Veritas on more than one occasion. They wouldn't do that today.
Starting point is 01:09:43 They wouldn't. Because Jon Stewart recognized he had his opinion. Well, I'll put it this way. Jon Stewart was a guy who has his opinions, who had liberal opinions. But he was an honest guy about his opinions. That's why I thought The Daily Show was awesome with him. So when Project Veritas did the whole acorn sting, he was like, journalists, where are you? This dude's pulling off major journalism.
Starting point is 01:10:03 What's going on? And he shows James O'Keefe and the pimp out and all that stuff and then later on he also praised him you know in another in another circumstance imagine don lemon and brian stelter being like these conservative journalists are doing a great job that was never going to happen they've gone past they've gone over the top in their own beliefs and it's it's partly because now they're so angry they can't see that it's not working and it is working all right it's working for a large segment of the population who doesn't have the time to break through the haze but now you've got alternative sources of information like what we're doing right here and other places for now for now but so what you're building you're
Starting point is 01:10:41 building subscription it's brilliant it's a brilliant idea to tell people, hey, they're coming for all of us. And point out, they're coming for you too. All right? Whoever you are out there right now, they're coming for you in some way, shape, or form. Get on board and fight back because that's what we're doing. And this is important too because this is going to be a shout out for TimCast.com, but it's also an important point about what you can do and what we're doing. So we set up Timcast.com initially just like, okay, we need a place to put content in the event we get banned because Facebook actually put a restriction
Starting point is 01:11:10 on my page and now that page is basically defunct. So we started Timcast.com. We're going to do bonus segments for everybody. We got a bunch of new members and I said, okay, let's build an even better website. Let's streamline it, upgrade the graphics and make it look better. And then I was like, we need to actually make culture. So I got a script.
Starting point is 01:11:26 I'm sorry, not a script. I got a treatment, a proposal for a show sent to me by a comedian. We want to make a sitcom. I said, let's do it. Let's make a sitcom. Maybe we'll try and get it on a mainstream streaming service, or maybe I'll just put it on TimCast.com because I'll tell you, I want to create a website where we just do comedy specials.
Starting point is 01:11:42 We do sitcoms. We do drama. We do movies. We do video games. We just start building We do movies. We do video games. We just start building the culture that's been taken over by the woke. Vice, man. I remember why I wanted to go to Vice, why I talked to them and I said, I'd like to work here because they were edgy. They were regular people.
Starting point is 01:11:59 They were crazy at the beginning. Yeah, I loved them. Absolutely. But they'd go, look, you had Ryan Duffy's bulletproof clothing. He goes down and meets this crazy guy who's like, I make clothes
Starting point is 01:12:08 that are bulletproof and they actually shoot. He's wearing this trench coat super heavy and thick and, you know, bulletproof. Those were fun and exciting stories where some regular guy
Starting point is 01:12:15 who was off the cuff, kind of punk rock, sex, drugs, and rock and roll were going on these adventures. Now it's woke. Ultra woke. It's as establishment as it comes.
Starting point is 01:12:27 It's boring, mainstream, corporate garbage. we need to bring back fun exciting and you know we need to bring back punk rock man i think it's the brilliant i love when we claim now that conservatism is punk rock you know now that being a lot of it is being but let's just make it anti-woke because everybody gets hung up on things i don't want to be conservative. I'm not a Republican. Okay, neither am I. But I am anti-woke. All right? I'm based.
Starting point is 01:12:51 Whatever you want to call it. Well, the left is based as well. Yeah, I'm shooting white pills, whatever. Whatever you want to characterize it as, we're punk rock. We are now the rebels. We're the anti-establishment. So weird, isn't it? It's bad. I love it.
Starting point is 01:13:03 Last night we had Brandon Tatum on the show. Officer Brandon Tatum. He's no longer enough uh police officer and we were talking about running away from a fight and he was saying where he grew up you were thought of as a punk if you would turn and run he kept saying punk and it crossed my mind a couple times that like yo punk rock it is punk to run away from a fight that's punk rock no no no that's not what he was saying he was saying you were getting punked yeah Yeah, he was using the same word, punk. And it's like that word has... Synonym, bro. Sometimes that word has negative connotations, but in reality
Starting point is 01:13:29 it's cool to be punked. It's cool to turn and run and avoid a fight. That's punk rock, dude. A physical fight you can choose to avoid. Yeah. A battle of ideas and a culture war you need to not fight. No, well, like you said, you don't play to their level, man. You stay punk. You punk you stay on your level no because if you do that i definitely think that
Starting point is 01:13:49 analogy is missing missing out what we're doing is literally fighting back as hard as we can well like you said if someone's like well what about z you just keep talking about why but that's still fighting you're just not letting them dictate the time not the fight that's punk rock i'm gonna violate your rules that i'm punk. I'm not going to fight the alligator underwater like you said, Ian. I'm going to stand on land and be like, you want to go? I'm up here on the beach. I'm going to drag the chicken up the bank and when the alligator gets out there, I'll beat him to death with a baseball bat.
Starting point is 01:14:15 That's what we're going to do. But we're still going to fight it because he's evil and I want him done and he's trying to shut us down. Or starve him out or something. There's other ways to win a war. I'm talking about punk rock in the sense of fighting the establishment and telling the nerds, the boring people, the authoritarians, the NPCs to buzz off. We're going to do our thing.
Starting point is 01:14:36 We're going to make fun, exciting content. Young people are going to want to be a part of it. They're going to be inspired by it, by the talent, by the enterprise, and they're going to look to these woke, boring teachers who tell them what they can or can't do, and they're going to be like, of it. They're going to be inspired by it, by the talent, by the enterprise, and they're going to look to these woke, boring teachers who tell them what they can or can't do, and they're going to be like, I choose freedom.
Starting point is 01:14:49 So no laugh track. No, definitely not. Okay, good. Have a live audience. Just have enough of an audience. No, no. It's going to be... I mean, maybe we could do
Starting point is 01:14:59 a laugh track on purpose for something. No, I just... Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It's going to be a modern show. It's going to be... That should be the name of it, too. Modern show.
Starting point is 01:15:08 The modern comedy show. I don't know. No, no, no. There's a pitch for it. It's someone else's project. It's already got a name. It's already got an outline. And so I'm being asked to fund it.
Starting point is 01:15:16 And I was like, I'll buy the show. You make it. We'll put it on TimCast.com for members only. I'm interested, Jim, in to hear your tactics to win this,
Starting point is 01:15:23 to preempt this civil war because I think of it as a long term game with the Chinese, you know, an 80 year plan to subvert our culture by feeding things to our children. So I'm kind of thinking in that same realm. I don't want to go head at it because that's what they want me to do. They want me to come straight at them so they can ban me
Starting point is 01:15:38 for some reason. You have to do some of that. But first of all, I'll say one of the first things you should do, make comedy shows. Make our culture popular. Because right now, they're the authoritarian jerks that nobody likes. We're the cool kids. So let's be the cool kids. Let's make good movies.
Starting point is 01:15:53 Ben Shapiro's people, The Daily Wire, that Run, Hide, Shoot movie was a good, it was a great movie. And not a great movie by conservatives. It was a great action flick. And that chick was a, can I say bad? Yeah, you can say that. I can say badass. I don't want to get you thrown off. She was a badass.
Starting point is 01:16:11 It was a great movie. I was on the edge of my seat. Infidel by Dinesh D'Souza. Yes. Another great movie. Not a great movie by a conservative. Yeah. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:16:19 And it was an action flick. You know, Jim Caviezel in a prison getting rescued. Oh, cool. Wife comes in with a helicopter. It was badass. Your comedy show, I guarantee, is going to be badass. Because you wouldn't make it otherwise. You wouldn't do it if it wasn't going to be.
Starting point is 01:16:34 Some of these comics, I'm just like, oh, these guys. They push it so hard. Good. Because that's punk rock. George Carlin. That's punk rock. George Carlin got arrested for his bit. The seven words you can't say on TV. He got arrested for that. They don't do that today, but they'll ban you in a certain way. I skipped school to go. George Carlin got arrested for his bit. The seven words you can't say on TV.
Starting point is 01:16:45 He got arrested for that. They don't do that today, but they'll ban you in a certain way. I skipped school to go see George Carlin. Wow. Literally, because we had to travel far enough to do it. That was punk rock. Yeah, yeah. But that's just it.
Starting point is 01:16:54 That's the first thing you do is create things that aren't woke, but are cool. All right? Because that's the thing. The right has always been uptight. Well, what's uptight is statists telling you how to live your life so what's the antidote to that liberty loving people who are are cool and having a good time you want to know something crazy this is this is this kind of this kind of pisses me off uh so a lot of people most people know i've been skateboarding for several decades and uh i've i
Starting point is 01:17:20 know a bunch of pro skateboarders and they won't they don't want to come they don't want to come in film segments they don't want to come and skate the ramp. They're scared. You know why? Skateboarding is mainstream culture. It is corporate, and it is, while not the biggest industry in the world, and not the wealthiest, and not the most mainstream. They're in the Olympics, baby.
Starting point is 01:17:38 They got big brand sponsors. They do big multimillion-dollar events. So I'm talking to this guy, and I'm like, man, I love your show. I love what you do. And I was like, you want to come film a segment? They're like, dude, I just, we can't get a target on us.
Starting point is 01:17:47 I get, I get all, I get the other, the other action sports, I guess you call it. We have one dude who was like, I'm a, you know, BMX rider.
Starting point is 01:17:54 I want to come and film a segment. I'm like, okay, looks like we're going to do BMX. This guy, this guy made this YouTube video. I want to come and do some tail whips in your park. And I'm like,
Starting point is 01:18:01 let's make it happen. Now we're going to put up videos on the website. These ones will be free and we'll share like, here's a dude, you know, what I want to do with this, with the space we have, because we have something we call the grind bar. We set up the skate park in the, in the garage. It's big. And you can actually Ollie up onto a ledge and then Ollie onto the bar, which jump up on. Okay. I should just say jump because it could be any sport, but you can grind across the bar itself. So we're going to film these challenges and we're going to have fun and be punk rock and play music and i gotta say
Starting point is 01:18:29 it's hard to get the skateboarders to do it because their sponsors are big mainstream corporations the smaller less popular action sports no offense to inline skaters or to bmxers they don't got nearly as many followers or big sponsors so they're like dude i'm totally down when i was young i used to always want i chased the people that had already made it because I was like, if I can get those people to join me, then it's going to be big. And then I realized, no, man, I'm just going to make it. And all the people that want to make it with me are going to be the people that in the future have made it. Build our culture, you know, and don't rely on other people do it because you can't. You can rely on them trying to kill it. So assume that you have a target on you already and build mechanisms to get your message out and get your entertainment out and get your views out that they can't take away from you, like your own website.
Starting point is 01:19:15 That's the other thing, too. I hope it's hosted on a boat somewhere in the North Atlantic so that Amazon can't shut you down. Well, that's the other thing, too, is we're talking about creating this open source project to create a subscription-based service that anyone could have on their own website. Yes. Beautiful. People, contact me on Twitter, direct message, if you want to get involved with that. It's very cool. We're setting up a chat room right now through the Matrix protocol.
Starting point is 01:19:36 It's going to be an open source project. Yeah. And so the idea is you've got a website. All you've got to do is install this simple open source package, and then people can become members to your site. But all the sites network with each other. So basically, we create a decentralized network of independent websites. That's exactly how the Soviet Union went down. They just did it with paper. Sam is right. That was people passing information back amongst themselves underneath the web of the statist masters. Now, the other thing you talked about, the long war, the long war's education. All right. We're dead unless we have an alternative way to make sure our kids don't get taught that
Starting point is 01:20:09 America is evil, that freedom is bad, you know, and that they have to believe the woke Bible. So you got to work on that. You know, and that's that's a long term project. That's a generational war. They've been at it for several generations. That's why we've got the problems we do. So you got to do that. You got to stand up for free speech. All right. we've got the problems we do. So you've got to do that. You've got to stand up for free speech. So you've got to do three things. You've got to get the education, your free speech, and you have to have popular culture, which are the things they took away from us.
Starting point is 01:20:34 I used to think Internet video alone would be enough to educate people. The information's there, so they will find it. But now I'm finding it's guided. People are guided towards, especially with social media algorithms, people are being guided towards specific types of information. And yet you can set up your own. For schools, though, I do wonder how many of these kids in schools are hearing their teacher say, you want to be a woke anti-racist. And these students are going, wow, I want to be just like teacher.
Starting point is 01:21:02 I can't imagine there's a lot of kids who are like that. That's the other thing people are not paying attention to is the pendulum swings back and forth that you rebel against authority. Who's the authority now? The statist authoritarians. Right. What do kids hate more than anything? Being told what they have to do. Right.
Starting point is 01:21:18 So we're going to see that. That's what we need to take advantage of. That's available. What's past Gen Z? Millennial? Gen double Z? Gen Z zed zed i don't know hey incidentally i'm staking a claim gen a1 i am no i am the lead dog of gen x all right oh nice the people claim it's 1965 it's october 1964 because i am the first member of gen x and my crew's in power. And we invented all the sports that are now lame. You know, all the skydiving and skateboard flips and crazy stuff that are now lamely corporate.
Starting point is 01:21:50 Oh, right. The sports aren't lame. No, but the corporatism of them is. But we invented that because we rebelled against that. I was thinking about how crazy this is, though, because I was listening to Tony Hawk talk about being a skateboarder and how hard it was in the 80s. You were a loser. You were weirdos doing this thing.
Starting point is 01:22:07 You're supposed to play football or basketball or baseball because it was really cool sports. But now it's the Olympics. Now it's Red Bull and these big corporations. Even a lot of snowboarding too. It's surprising to me how boring it's become. For real. Because it's not dangerous anymore because it's become corporatized all right and that's good and now that those people are scared let's pick other ones pick a
Starting point is 01:22:29 new sport you know there's some crazy thing pick airsoft you know i saw your guns in the base with your airsoft yeah yeah i thought it was interesting because there was uh there are some pros who are like some people will always complain about the change in culture of everything and there are a lot of people who say skateboarding was better back in the day and you know to them i would say it just changed and for kids who are growing up and today are going to be very happy with skateboarding and that's true i'm just talking about towing the line i'm talking about pros who used to be like i'm gonna go skate this bank where you literally you can get arrested for being on private property now it's a lot of park now you've got like the olympics uh are coming up and so there's this big competition
Starting point is 01:23:05 anyone in the united states apparently can enter by submitting a 45 second run in a you know it doesn't have to be in a park but it needs to incorporate park terrain basically this means everyone's going to be in a skate park skating whereas skateboarding for for the longest time was being out in the streets and conquering terrain urban terrain it was almost urban exploration in a sense. But that was vandalism. It was punk rock. You were going out. You were telling the security guards to F off.
Starting point is 01:23:30 I'm not a fan of that, by the way. You're supposed to leave and then come back later. You don't fight with people because people get hurt. But you'd put wax on a ledge in front of a building. Long term, it would scuff it up and discolor it. But they didn't care. It wasn't your property. They didn't care.
Starting point is 01:23:44 It was punk rock. It was edgy. It was edgy. It was disrespectful in a lot of ways. There's still a bit of that street skating culture, but it's become very corporate. And it's like, yeah, it's not really interesting to be another cog in the giant machine. I think it's time to create new ideas, new cultures, new concepts. Maybe airsoft is the thing we should be filming a lot of. Video gaming is one that used to be so nerdy and uncool.
Starting point is 01:24:06 Like in the 80s, they called me Nintendo Crossland in elementary school, and I was like the dork. But now people are multimillionaire, superstars, gaming, giant. I mean, it's one of the biggest industries in the world, and I think it's just going to get cooler. It has kind of been corporatized. Amazon owns Twitch and is kind of dictating what people can say. But, man, there is some punk rock.
Starting point is 01:24:27 If you watch gamers stream the things they will say, like if you want to tap into the child's psyche. They're anti-authoritarians. You know, Twitch sent me an email because I've got an account everywhere because I have to. And they literally said, this is the new things we're going to deplatform people that happen off Twitch. Yep. I got that too. Social credit score dude exactly and that's that's where these people will rebel so we have the ability to go ahead and appeal to people
Starting point is 01:24:52 who don't like to be told what to do which is basic libertarianism you know it's not a governing philosophy but it's a personal philosophy and you can tell those people if you want to be left alone to enjoy your life you should be hanging out with us. Because if you hang out with the woke crew, you can't ever get the rules right. What rules? How are you ever going to follow all the rules of wokeness? Because they change every time someone else pops up. And one of the rules is we can ban you at any time for no reason. Literally, for no reason at any time.
Starting point is 01:25:21 Who wants to play that game? That's ridiculous. Garbage. Go look for my Twitter feed and I'm not there because I say things that they don't like and I kick their butts.
Starting point is 01:25:30 And that's pathetic. So let's appeal to the people who don't like that. And here's the nice thing. The woke people are helping us because look at what's happening with blacks and Latinos from the last election.
Starting point is 01:25:42 People talk about we got killed in the election. We picked up 12 House seats for the Republicans and more black and Latino votes than ever before. For Trump, of all people. They said he was a racist. Exactly. Now, why is that?
Starting point is 01:25:55 It's because they watched those riots and everything last year, and those are working class people who have jobs. They lost their jobs because of COVID when the Democrats locked them down, and their businesses were burnt down by BLM and antifa and that made them mad and they're like where are the police why aren't the police coming to help me right i thought they were the good guys like no no defund the police the police are evil police hate you hate the police like i don't hate the police i hate criminals i hate gangs i gotta up this chart. I love pulling this chart up. Oh, yeah. Before the George Floyd riots, Black Lives Matter enjoyed 17% net support in this country. After the George Floyd incident, it spiked 23% net support.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Something then happened. Do you know what happened? Right after the spark of the George Floyd story, what happened in this country? What did people start doing? No, no, no, no. What was the direct response to the death of George Floyd among the left? Blocked guns. No, riots.
Starting point is 01:26:50 Yeah, okay. They started going around burning cities. Then everyone else blocked guns. The net support then dropped to 7%. Currently today, net support for Black Lives Matter is at 6% a year out. You get what you give. It is almost it is it is 40 i believe let's see let's uh let's go back to the beginning of last year was that around
Starting point is 01:27:10 not it was eight nine percent so it's down between you know 20 to 35 percent net support it's made me feel good man that's that's wonderful news because they're a recruiter for our team they're a recruiter for the team that likes freedom and liberty, not a bunch of angry racists telling us that the rest of us are racist. Don't project onto me and tell me how to live my life. Beautiful. I'll make sure to help. Yeah, like don't mess with your enemy while they're making a mistake. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:27:39 And they're going to do it again. I kind of feel for this Black Lives Matter movement in a way because I feel like Antifa got their tentacles all wrapped up in it and did a lot of violent, just like angry, violent anarchists just kind of used that movement and got involved in a way that wasn't the intention from the beginning of that movement. No, I was there at some of the first Black Lives Matter protests. It was always the same people. Antifa, for the most most part is just the flag they use it's it's far leftist of various persuasions who wear all black and go around engaging in violence and before we called them antifa we just called them the black block it was a reference to
Starting point is 01:28:14 the same leftist protesters activists extremists we've always known and when i was in new york at the trayvon martin protest they were there as well the same people now fly the antifa flag same people and then and the black lives matter protest no matter how well-intentioned some of them may be you've always got the young angry crowd that wants to break stuff and so those two groups would meld together and they create like the ball of ugliness and somebody would break a window and then it's gone from there but the the bad part is and i think the good thing for us, is that they now have busted their brand. Their brand is violence.
Starting point is 01:28:47 Now, it's working in intimidating local leaders, but it's not working in gaining public support. It's pushing normals toward us, the working class, normal people. Now, I think that's an interesting coalition I just outlined. We've got the punk rock radical cool kids now hanging out with the normal working class folks but we're all the ones who say we know how to live our lives you don't tell us how to live our lives and we'll take care of business i love cryptocurrency because it's so punk rock and like internet developers so punk rock like they are building the future cool i'm in yeah no guarantees but there's a it's a big reason why a lot of anarchists bought into Bitcoin very early on.
Starting point is 01:29:27 Oh, yeah. Not lefty anarchists because they don't believe in money, I guess. Oh. But all the right anarchists got super rich. They were like, you need this money the government doesn't know about? I'll buy it all. Smart. And then they went ahead and created a new way to do business, which we're allowed to do. And again, to your point of let's create shows and let's do other things and new sports and other things that popularize what we're doing from our side.
Starting point is 01:29:53 And guess what? We are going to be much more entertaining and inviting than the other side. You can tell they're angry because we have humor unpleasant. We can tell jokes. We mock people. It's fun, you know. you can tell they're angry because we have humor unpleasant we can tell jokes we mock people and it's fun you know but we but it's it's like insulting and disparaging people for the sake of being mean it's not fun but playfully ribbing at each other over you know stereotypes and other
Starting point is 01:30:15 dumb ideas is fun it's fun it's funny because we're all part of the same jokes we're all being made fun of we're all on on a level playing field with each other so could we have stand-up comedy back then could we literally because they've killed that for all intents and purposes. Ryan Long, though, he's amazing. He's nailing it, but what's he doing?
Starting point is 01:30:30 He's mocking woke culture. He's found the magic bullet. But he's got, you know, these videos he makes often do, most of the time, but he also has a stand-up routine.
Starting point is 01:30:40 He has a bunch of other jokes. I think he recently did a joke about the NSA watching dudes whack off. Like, he's not making fun of the woke he's just a funny guy he's a funny dude and he and he makes fun of the woke and it's funny too and there that's the nice thing is when you can mock your enemy you hurt them more than you ever can with any kind of violence or anger or anything else you you delegitimize them because you don't take them seriously and they're they're so good you know they mock themselves you can't you can't hardly caricature he does and he does it well but that's just it they are so absurd that and there's so
Starting point is 01:31:15 much ammo there that if more people take that up guess what you've got now we need a daily show from the right yeah you know looking at the the Biden administration. You get crowded. You get crowded while we do. Every morning. Yeah. All right. Well, how about we go to Super Chats, everybody? If you haven't already, help out the show by smashing that like button because it really does help.
Starting point is 01:31:33 And when you comment and like, you're basically telling YouTube you like the show. So we really appreciate it. But if you want to see some cultural stuff get created, and we're going to do it, go to TimCast.com, become a member. We're going to have a bonus segment coming up later tonight as well. We have a big library of content at this point of all of these different shows you can't get anywhere else from awesome people
Starting point is 01:31:49 so help out the show. Don't forget to like, share, subscribe. We're about to crack 1 million subscribers so probably in the next week or so we'll be at a million subscribers on this channel so you guys rock. Thank you so much for all the support and everything and all the likes and the comments and if you're listening on iTunes, Spotify,
Starting point is 01:32:06 leave us a good review. We're going to read y'all's super chats and see what you guys have to say. All right, let's see. Miso trashed. Miso trashed. Ah, that's what it says. You should invite your mom on a talk about her life. I think it would be good for people to hear her story and for you to have the rest of your life.
Starting point is 01:32:23 Maybe it depends on, you know, I'm not sure. People in my family want to be very publicly known, especially with the craziness of the far left, right? That's fair. Matthew Annan says, Tim, get Simon Mann, the British former army officer turned mercenary when travel from England opens up. There are a lot of people in England I would love to have on the show.
Starting point is 01:32:41 So many in Canada. Not easy to get. Yeah. Raymond Fields says, I love the quote, the 2A is made for hunting and not weapons of war argument. It was made so we can have weapons of war to overthrow a tyrannical government. Well, I want to clarify this too, because a lot of people tend to say this, that the Second Amendment is about defending the United States from a tyrannical government.
Starting point is 01:33:02 It was for any oppressor, anyone. It was about defending the free state. It could be a foreign or domestic enemy. So don't limit yourself. Your gun rights are for everything. Those Canadians might get all hopped up on Molson's and Tim Horton donuts and scream across the border on snowmobiles. A lot of it was for the Native Americans, too.
Starting point is 01:33:21 I mean, let's not deny that that was a giant genocide. But let's also not forget that the Canadians may gorge themselves on poutine and by the time they get there they're too sluggish and maple syrup. They're stuck to the border.
Starting point is 01:33:41 All right, let's see. Rogue Ryan says, I wish I was getting paid $50,000 to smoke Parmesan and send in the board for my last name. I do not understand U.S. lefties. I hear you, bro. I hear you.
Starting point is 01:33:51 I would smoke Parmesan for 50 grand. I'm going to do it. 100%. That sounds fine. Tastes good. Kickstarter? We doing a Kickstarter? Yeah, let's do it.
Starting point is 01:33:58 Let's do it. Yeah, it's Kickstarter. Release the Craggle says, The Second Amendment is an inalienable right. It's absolute. We are done handing over our rights to appease those who know nothing about them We want peace but we are prepared for war Oof Powerful statements
Starting point is 01:34:12 The amendment is absolute But it will be if we protect it The matador says Shall not be infringed was not a suggestion It's a statement Gun laws is infringing. That's right. Taxation is theft.
Starting point is 01:34:28 That's right. Let's do it. Oh, let's get into it. I mean, I think people need to, you want to change the Constitution if you want to get rid of those, if you've got a problem with the Second Amendment, you don't just pass laws
Starting point is 01:34:38 that violate our constitutional rights. Go ahead and pass an amendment or have a constitutional convention. And then if I don't like the outcome, guess what? That's why I bought my guns. I don't have to agree to your new constitution if you change it. So good luck.
Starting point is 01:34:54 Foo Nation says, this is for Ian. I was brave enough to check out crypto because of you. Keep being your interdimensional self. That's awesome, dude. And yes, we are vibrating, apparently in the vacuum. You're interdimensional? Yeah, we all are. Everybody? Am I? No, no. It's, we are vibrating. Apparently in the vacuum. You're interdimensional? Yeah, we all are.
Starting point is 01:35:07 Everybody? Am I? No, no. It's like a vibrational interdimensional. The joke, I have to get in touch. The joke was that we had a new employee start and every time they came, Ian was not around. And so he was like, I'm convinced Ian's not real. And we were like, that's right.
Starting point is 01:35:20 Ian's just an astral projection. He's not really here. I was talking about Ian today. I was like, have you seen Ian yet? And he goes, Ian. And I was like, yeah. It's a suff astral projection. He's not really here. I was talking about Ian today. I was like, have you seen Ian yet? And he goes, Ian. And I was like, yeah. It's a suffix. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:35:30 Yes. I don't know. Blake Larum. I think it's real. Blake Larum says, I appreciate your insight and diversity of guests. You provide unbiased views and intellectual dialogue that is not available in the mainstream media. Wow, that's a compliment. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:35:41 Thank you. Diversity of ideas, not just skin color and chromosomes. Super fun. That's weird. All of the above. Weird. War Movie Vet says, Hey, Tim, you missed your chance to have a good show
Starting point is 01:35:52 when you turned down Gavin McInnes. I strongly recommend you have him on if you truly believe in free speech and ignore MSM lies. I don't recall ever turning down Gavin McInnes from coming on this show. Maybe he was too hopped up on poutine. Probably. He is Canadian, right? Yeah. No, I never turned him down. No. turning down Gavin McInnes from coming on this show maybe he was too hopped up on poutine probably he's Canadian right
Starting point is 01:36:07 yeah no I never turned him down no no way I gotta say I love him by the way he's hilarious he is rough
Starting point is 01:36:13 around the edges he pushes it too hard he angered a lot of people but I something about him man I really like that guy somebody's gotta go too far yep
Starting point is 01:36:20 and he's always figuring out where the line is I suppose I mean he's I'm with him on probably 90 plus 95 percent of the stuff and then line is I suppose I'm with him on probably 90 plus 95% of the stuff and then that last 5%
Starting point is 01:36:27 I'm like dude yeah I'm glad that was you not me Keith McCracken says long time third time yesterday with
Starting point is 01:36:35 prescription drugs like Adderall I was put on it when I was a preteen and it really messed with my psyche mental health starts with a diet
Starting point is 01:36:41 love you all thank you for all thank you for what you do and I'll make my drive home better hey thanks man all right that's on point says 2a is the hill to die on without that we have no rights or it's the hill to live on so you can shoot downhill yeah that's right i live on a hill all right let's see what we got high leaf Leaf says, Hi, Tim. Great show. Had a friend who lives in Hawaii and have a question.
Starting point is 01:37:07 Why is Hawaii not used as the gun control push since they have heavy gun control? Plus, my friend also said that you are a sellout. Well, that's good news. I'm not sure about the Hawaii thing, though. The Hawaii thing is they had a ruling in the Ninth Circuit that Hawaii won't allow carry of any kind. Right. And they ban it. And so it's going to go to
Starting point is 01:37:25 the supreme court and probably be overturned and it's going to lead to a good idea on where they stand on concealed carry reciprocity and some other major issues so it was a bad ruling by the ninth which they're prone to and a good one because it'll go to supreme court and should get its ass kicked this is interesting someone someone mentioned in the chat that YouTube is suppressing likes. I don't know if that's true, but I can say that we've lost 2,000 likes in the past five minutes or so. What? And I was just like, well, whatever. You lose likes, you gain likes.
Starting point is 01:37:55 But I also just checked on the YouTube backend, and the show has also been hard to monetize. So I wonder what we said they're not happy with. You. No, I'm just kidding. I don't know. None of us said anything bad. Maybe we just load the van with weapons and we roll to Silicon Valley, man. They're asking for it.
Starting point is 01:38:12 No, no, no. I'm not serious about that. And Tim does not believe in violence. Terry Presley says, Volley fire is not full auto. It's a single trigger pull discharging multiple chambers at once or in rapid succession. Full auto fires cycles and fires multiple times in one or multiple chambers with one trigger pull. Now, yes, perhaps technically, but, you know, the point I'm trying to make is that we had guns that could shoot multiple rounds with one trigger pull.
Starting point is 01:38:37 I understand it was a bunch of different, you know, barrels or whatever. You win the technical and you lose on the substance of it. All right. You win the technical And you lose on the substance of it Alright Billy Deerhead says Attach an omnidirectional camera and microphone to a drone Connect it to a VR headset and microphones A harness to suspend yourself off the floor And controls in the hands to guide the drone
Starting point is 01:38:56 Thus simulating flying in the real world We are working on the Zeppelin project Minus the harness But yeah, that's the first step So for the longest time Wikipedia claimed I invented the Zeppelin project. Minus the harness, but yeah, that's the first step. So for the longest time, Wikipedia claimed I invented a Zeppelin camera because Wikipedia is just broken and stupid. And they finally removed it because I kept complaining, saying I'd never invented the Zeppelin thing.
Starting point is 01:39:16 Now that it's removed, I decided, you know, I'm actually going to fund the creation of this Zeppelin project, so we're actually going to start building this. That way they'll be forced to put it back. It looks like an 18-footer is the way to go to be able to handle the weight that we need for our first run. Yeah, we want to be able to live broadcast from a Zeppelin.
Starting point is 01:39:31 So people can log online and watch a high-def live stream from the Zeppelin, so you can do news coverage in the air without a helicopter or a person. Like a riot. I'm in. It's not hard to do. It's seriously probably a couple hours to get done no joke we might need to be able we getting the signal it will be the trickier part but i think
Starting point is 01:39:52 we can easily do something with uh cellular bonding over 4g or something 3g 3g it looks like we're going to start 3g i think 3g is the way to go to start with that's what andreas was saying but is there still 3g tech yeah you get arduino arduino is that what they're called and then you get a little i don't know he Yeah, you get Arduino. Is that what they're called? Arduino. And then you get a little, I don't know. He was showing me all the pieces and parts last night. Looks like everybody's fighting back and giving us a bunch of likes because... Keep liking, guys.
Starting point is 01:40:15 But don't like, only like it an odd number of times. Or if you click the like button twice, it'll unlike. No, that is weird. Before we did Super Chats, we had over 10,000 likes. I think it was like 11 or something. And then all of a sudden I started watching it go down as if people were unliking the video. They were. So I was like, maybe someone said something.
Starting point is 01:40:31 We're getting dislikes now. And then so I checked over on the YouTube dashboard, and I'm like, no, there's no dislikes. There's like very few. Well, there are dislikes. They're just coming from Silicon Valley. No, I mean like – Yeah. They hate it.
Starting point is 01:40:43 Come on. 99% thumbs up. No, I mean like... Yeah. They hate it. Come on. 99% thumbs up. Oh, yeah. How did we lose 2,000 likes if people just decided to remove the like from the video, I guess? That's weird.
Starting point is 01:40:51 My social media credit score infected your like capabilities. Hey, it happens. It happens. All right. Let's see. Where are we at? Uh-oh.
Starting point is 01:41:02 Samantha Fitzgerald says, Ian can't say concentration camps are evil. What the hell? Well, like, what's the difference? Concentration means that they're killing people. So if Southern Border aren't concentration camps, they're internment camps. I'd never, I mean, if you think of a concentration camp
Starting point is 01:41:16 as a place where you put innocent people to kill them, then yeah, that's evil. But then you've got to define innocent because in a time of war, enemy civilians can be considered combatants. Boess says ian not everything is subjective lots of things are are objectively bad stop being still leftist well then give me one here we go really bad yeah johnny arson says liber but not in war that's not murder that's not murder all you gotta do is sign on a piece of paper and it's no longer murder that's still not murder. So if someone says it's okay to kill, then it's okay?
Starting point is 01:41:47 Ian, do you think like war is fought because someone's like, you know, I just feel like killing? Sometimes. What's happening in most instances of war is that there's a threat to the status quo or structure. And due to that threat, somebody feels it's within their necessity to go and you know kill somebody sometimes it's genocide now the issue though is well where i'll agree with you is when the military industrial complex lobbies a bunch of crappy corporatist senators and politicians to vote for war so that our young men women go and die for nothing but in the general concept of war is not the same thing as murder and there's just war theory all right you could say war being can be good or bad all right if you have a just war and
Starting point is 01:42:29 that's that's an objective thing you can say you can say there are some wars that were definitely some wars are conquest wars of conquest are wrong and evil but a war of self-defense again written by the victors right you get to write the, but you can base it on what they were doing and who they were doing it to. If you fight a war to stop something bad from happening, then you're doing an objective good. How about selling drugs to kids? Like Adderall?
Starting point is 01:42:59 No, no, no. Like street drugs, like hard narcotics, hard opiates, fentanyl. I mean, Adderall's a hard opiate. I asked you about fentanyl, Ian. Fentanyl, no, that's... You don't think it's evil to give a kid fentanyl? Yeah, I think that would be... Is that objectively evil?
Starting point is 01:43:13 I think so. I think that would be, yeah. You've laid me a very vague situation. You asked if there are some things that are objectively evil. As a painkiller, a tiny, tiny, tiny dose of fentanyl. I didn't say that. No, no, no, no, okay. Selling drugs to kids. Would you say it is evil for a dude to grab a tiny tiny tiny dose i didn't say that no no no selling drugs to kids
Starting point is 01:43:25 would you say it is evil for a dude to grab a seven-year-old by the hair and jam a lethal dose of fentanyl down his throat and hold his mouth shut yeah but what if the seven-year-old had a grenade in his hand and was coming up to you to blow you up then did i ask you self-defense and it's not did i did i ask you you didn't define the situation probably and you're a constructivist no i'm saying things are subjective in reality You are wrong because no one gave you those parameters. Killing is always wrong unless it's right. Is that what you're saying? No, what you're doing is.
Starting point is 01:43:51 Killing is definitely right sometimes. Sometimes it would be wrong to not kill. You see, Ian, what you don't understand because you're a constructivist is that when I lay out the parameters, you've decided to change the parameters. You said to kill a kid. I said a guy grabs a seven-year-old by the back of the hair and shoves a lethal dose of fentanyl down his throat and holds his mouth shut.
Starting point is 01:44:08 Sure. Is that evil? Well, is he a soldier in Vietnam? I didn't tell you that. No, you didn't tell me that. It doesn't matter. It does matter. Context matters.
Starting point is 01:44:16 No, Ian. What you're doing is you're changing the parameters because you can't accept things are wrong. Because you didn't give me any, so I'm creating them. So if you watched a guy on the street walk up to a seven-year-old, pull his hair back, and shove that on his throat, you'd say, maybe it's a good thing. Well, now you've given me some parameters.
Starting point is 01:44:31 No, that doesn't sound like a good thing. What parameters did I give you? That it was on the street. I pictured New York City. But what if the kid was a terrorist, Ian? Well, if it comes out that he was, then it comes out. Why did you then remove the parameters? Maybe he did do a good thing.
Starting point is 01:44:41 Oh, okay. So you just said it was wrong. See, the problem with constructivism... It's struck like it, but I'm not going to throw the guy... The problem with constructivism and the things you do in
Starting point is 01:44:49 arguments like this is that you could be asked a simple question and you decide to change the argument to suit your needs. The reason we have courts is because we
Starting point is 01:44:56 don't know if it's right and wrong at first glance. What first glance? We have to look at things and find out context and see maybe this is what looked
Starting point is 01:45:03 evil wasn't... That's to decide punishment. That's not to decide whether it was right or wrong sometimes we're deciding whether or not we're going to punish someone for what they did it was objectively right or wrong when they did it and that's the difference is is you have to be able to say some things are objectively evil at the point they're happening and i would just say if i was going to kill a seven-year-old terrorist i wouldn't dose them with fent. The point is, there are very obviously things that are objectively evil that no human would agree with unless they're broken in the head. I don't know, man. Destruction is such a way of life for humans that we've kind of accepted it. And it just depends on who you ask.
Starting point is 01:45:38 You know what I hear when you say these things, Ian? You have evil tendencies that you've expressed before that you want to justify. At my core, I'm a philosopher. And I understand that it's too easy to say something is blatantly right, blatantly wrong, without taking context into account. You asked. You can do that immediately. You can look at some things and say this is immediately, objectively wrong in the context that I see right now. I think there are situations.
Starting point is 01:46:07 Yeah. Like if you see someone put their hand on a burner and start screaming, I would take their hand off the burner. I would think that's bad. You asked, are there things that are objectively evil? The answer is yes. When I gave you an example, you changed the argument in order to justify someone being evil. Do you understand? That's constructivism.
Starting point is 01:46:28 If a guy walked up, how about that dude in New York who drove up to a guy who was walking with his four-year-old daughter, shot him and killed him. Is that evil? What happened? A guy was crossing a crosswalk with his four-year-old daughter and a car pulled up, stopped the guy, pulled up the gun, shot the guy and killed him. Yeah, it sounds awful. Objectively evil? I wasn't there, man. It sounds awful.
Starting point is 01:46:47 You can't say that it's objectively evil to randomly gun down a man with his four-year-old daughter just crossing the street minding his own business. Do you see the problem with that? Evil is vague as hell, dude. You are the banality of evil. You define the banality of evil. I mean, how can I even defend that bland, vague statement? What does that even mean the banality why are you looking for context that would justify it as opposed to saying absent
Starting point is 01:47:11 context that doesn't justify it it is because i've seen people do horrible things in the name of good the banality of evil was when the nazis didn't care what they were doing because there must have been some justification for the orders they were given. That's your mentality, not mine. When I see a guy pull up in a car and gun down a man with his daughter, and this happened in New York, I say, that is evil. Now, after the fact, we can investigate and try and figure things out. But based on what we witnessed and what we saw, it was an act of evil. Even if this dad had wronged this guy in some way, even if he was an angry, violent person or a gang member, pulling up in a car and then gunning a guy down in cold blood and broad daylight with his four-year-old daughter is evil. Pure evil. And I can say that.
Starting point is 01:47:58 And let's just add the context that the person was not doing anything that justified them being killed. They were not in a situation where killing them was an act of self-defense or anything else it was just a purely evil thing to do right i think you can then you could say then your arguments move but it's it no longer becomes objective if you start to define all the parameters now you're creating a subjective situation no no what you're doing is you're trying to justify evil by changing parameters that were never given to you. No, I'm saying that killing a child is not
Starting point is 01:48:29 objectively evil. If the kid's going to kill you and you kill him in self-defense, it's not evil. But you're adding parameters. Tim's asking, can you create one situation that is objectively evil? I think about this a lot. I think about objectivity and subjectivity a lot. We've had this argument in private sometimes. I love this argument. But I don't know man i don't know i think it's very
Starting point is 01:48:48 dangerous to to lie and die on a hill where you believe something always is this way that's not what we said you asked for one situation in which something could be objective i didn't i said that i don't think there are situations like that so there's one example a guy pulling up to a man walking on the street with his four-year-old daughter and shooting him and killing him for no reason. And it happened. It would happen in New York last year. That's random act of violence. We don't know why the guy decided to kill a man in front of his child. And the little girl had to run with, with her dad dying in the street. She had to run panicking. Sorry, man. Some things are evil. You see, the problem is, you know, I was just watching Star Trek. It's fantastic. The episode that was just on was about an admiral was secretly brought to the Enterprise
Starting point is 01:49:31 because there was a 12-year-old ship called the Pegasus that was engaging in a technology, experimental technology that could have reignited intergalactic war. And Riker, second in command, it was explained, was chosen because he defied the orders of one of his commanding officers. And when Picard saw that he was willing to stand up for what he believed is right, even though he was being ordered to do something, that was the kind of officer he wanted on his ship. Why? It was a reason why I like the next generation. They recognize that someone could say, I want you to do X. And in your mentality, which has been used to justify genocide for generations, for eons, for millennia,
Starting point is 01:50:07 the person says, I just trust that there's some justification for why I'm going to commit an atrocity. Whereas a strong-willed person who believes that some things are inherently wrong will look their commanding officer in the eyes and say, I will not do that. But there are a lot of people,
Starting point is 01:50:22 a lot of cops especially, they'll be told, go shoot that kid. And they'll be like, yes, sir. Not everybody's that crazy though. And there are a lot of people are going to say, I ain't doing that. Are you nuts? But some people just say, there must be some justification for this. I suppose it's not objectively wrong to go kill that kid. That's crazy to me. Even if the kid, you know, this is one of the biggest challenges, the ethical conundrums that we have when it comes to war, because the terrorists have been putting bombs on children and placing them in roads. I'm sure you've heard these stories. I have friends that were overseas in Iraq, and they said one of the scariest things is when you're driving in a vehicle and you're ordered, don't stop for this kid who's standing in the middle of the road.
Starting point is 01:51:00 You know why? They put bombs on him. What do you do? Man, some of these situations are just nightmares that you have to fight through. Some of our nightmares. But then there are some circumstances where someone would panic and say, just kill him anyway. And the person would say, I'm just going to drive around him. No, I'm not doing that. You got to make a decision. It's not always that easy. Sometimes things are just objectively wrong and you have to say, I won't do that and I won't assume there's some justification for an atrocity.
Starting point is 01:51:25 If someone told me to do something, you better justify that to me because otherwise I'm not going to do it. They don't do that in the military. They don't have to. They're not supposed to. No, because you're required to disobey an unlawful order. An order to commit an atrocity is unlawful by its definition. Running a kid over that is
Starting point is 01:51:41 assumed to have a bomb on him is an atrocity. It is atrocious it's not a war crime now you and but here's the thing when you make that decision you're bound by did the kid have a bomb on him you know you have to believe truly in your heart that they did and that that's the only way you could deal with that situation and if you do that it was an atrocious act but it was not an atrocity because you didn't do it out of a desire to commit evil you did it out of desire to save lives the lives of your men your you know the people your troops when when it comes to the historical genocides
Starting point is 01:52:16 just doing my job or just following orders was was the justification for for so many people who committed crimes that's why people in the military like said, it's a requirement to disobey unlawful orders. There are people who go to prison for committing crimes while they're in war. Some things are just objectively wrong, and we take that into account. I know a lot of soldiers who are angry about it. They're like, it's crazy the amount of rules we have to follow that they don't. Yeah, maybe it's because we're the good guys. Isn't that funny? Maybe it's because the bad guys will blow up a kid if it means they can gain a piece of land. And we won't do that. We only do it when we're absolutely desperate, have no choice. And it's nightmarish. And then you risk going to prison. So we've got all these moral constraints on us. Long story short,
Starting point is 01:52:57 the societies that say I will lead people to a gas chamber, there must be some justification for it. If you didn't, if you were told to do something and you said there's no justification for this, you wouldn't do it. You would say that's inherently evil. I won't do that. Too many people, too many would just blindly follow and commit atrocities. That's why I don't like this idea, man, that everything is subjective. Yes. Sometimes you can find a reason why a certain circumstance. And I'll tell you the perfect, the perfect, like the point of that entire argument. I gave you an example of when killing a kid was not objectively evil. The point is there are instances where it is objectively evil and there are instances
Starting point is 01:53:37 where it isn't, but it is objectively evil when a serial killer kidnaps a kid and then murders them, lights their body on fire for no reason other than they just wanted to watch the kid burn. Sorry, that's evil. But like when you say there are situations when killing a kid is objectively evil and there are situations when it's objectively not, that is illogical. No, it isn't. If it's objective, then it's killing a kid is X.
Starting point is 01:54:00 That's the objective. You're saying you can't have specific instances that are objectively evil or not. You have to have just generalities? Well, that's when they become subjective the specifics make it so i don't think you have a single instance of objectivity it's not it doesn't have to be an entire class of actions are either are or aren't and and just because there are different context in a specific instance doesn't mean it's subjective you're still taking an objective view at that one particular instance. Johnny Cash shot a man in Rideau just to watch him die.
Starting point is 01:54:28 That was evil. Johnny Cash did? Johnny Cash did that. That's what he told me. We gotta read more Super Chats because we got to this great argument. Caden Peterson says, hey Tim, been watching for years. After observing the political sphere for that time, I've written a sci-fi novel with the themes
Starting point is 01:54:44 of modern day. It is 2084 to 2069 on Amazon. Keep up the good work. Will do. Thank you. Alright. The Raptor's Talon says, first time Super Chat. Hope this works. I've always viewed justice as a balance between the absolute power of law and the personal vengeance of the victim. Based
Starting point is 01:55:00 on this policy, I don't think that any trial against the establishment will work. Interesting. Student of History says, the one ring equals power. Power corrupts. Okay. Death camps were state certified. AOC, go explain that to the Jews in NYC.
Starting point is 01:55:19 Joe Biden has no idea what he's talking about from history. Founding fathers would drool at an ARAK. Also, if J.B.P. equals Red Skull, well, G.D. me. Well, Hail Hydra. what he's talking about from history founding fathers would drool at an arak also if jbp equals red skull well gd me well hail hydra that was a that was a saturated it's hard because awesome people people try to cram so much in super chats when you guys start doing acronyms and stuff i can't decipher what you know you're trying to mean when you do acronyms and things like that jpb jordan b peterson there you go oh, yeah. We'll talk about them. Maybe in the members only. Superguy says, good news on the two-way front.
Starting point is 01:55:51 Arizona just passed a bill to defy federal firearms regulations. Governor Abbott will sign similar legislation in Texas. And my own state of Oklahoma has a two-way sanctuary bill that made it to the house. Wow. Nice. Rosie Riveter says, ex-Antifa here, also former OWM. I realized the real agenda of Antifa. I left as soon as I left.
Starting point is 01:56:13 The death threats came in. I'm thankful every day. I woke up. Keep spreading the truth. You guys are amazing. Appreciate it. That's awesome. Occupy Wall Street.
Starting point is 01:56:20 I see how that sentiment lingered from Occupy Wall Street into Antifa. I feel that. Thomas Cutler says, Tim, will you have Joe Rogan on your show? Yes, we will. Joe can come to my house whenever he would like and come on at any time. And I'm sure the man is just much too busy.
Starting point is 01:56:38 Eating elk? He definitely eats elk. But, I mean, the dude is running a massive empire. I love that guy. Like, even smaller YouTubers, it's hard to get them out of here because they do their own show. That's true. But I, of course, would invite Joe Rogan on the show. It's just, he's a busy guy.
Starting point is 01:56:51 He's more than welcome to come and hang out whenever he wants. We'll get him to drop in on the six foot. M. Sheba says, give this to Ian. He is putting in the work with the witty banter tonight. Hey, there you go, M. Sheba. Nova Zero says, Nick Rechieta's take on Rittenhouse is awesome. The statute would have made it illegal for Kyle to have held a gun.
Starting point is 01:57:10 That doesn't apply to long arms. Kyle carried a long arm. Kyle did nothing wrong. Love the pod, whale cast. Hey, thank you. C. Hammond says, Evil. Sentient intelligence expending purposeful effort
Starting point is 01:57:24 in order to artificially manufacture unnecessary suffering onto evil sentient intelligence expending purposeful effort in order to artificially manufacture unnecessary suffering onto another sentient intelligence for the sole purpose of its own pleasure that was outstanding yeah nicely played yeah some things are just evil man melty sammich says it's odd how the state follows the 13th amendment to the letter but the second amendment is contorted to what the elites want it to be. The man, the myth, the legend rapper Killer Mike would be a great guest. He would be. Yeah, he's rare. No, it's funny. The 13th Amendment
Starting point is 01:57:51 allows the state to keep slaves so long as they've been convicted of a crime. Well, that one, whoa, there's no argument there. There should be. Second Amendment, though, we got all these arguments, man. Does that mean I can quarter my friends who are still in the military in any house I want now? Yeah, amendment just thinking right right out supply says heard you talking about getting some bmx riders to the skate park last night sent you a dm on instagram about
Starting point is 01:58:16 some of your some of our sponsored riders let's link up uh i have like 50 billion messages on instagram i can't go through them so uh i don't know the best way to email the contact because we just have so many emails. Okay. You can send it to Spin the UFO. And then try to take down the info, I suppose. Yeah. Also, obviously, pro skateboarders are welcome. The ones I've asked are just kind of scared because it's such a big sport.
Starting point is 01:58:41 There's a lot of risk when you have big mainstream sponsors. But we'll take skiers. I don't know. I don't know what you're going to do on a halfpipe, but aggressive inline, BMX, skateboarding. If you've got a pogo stick, I mentioned this the other day. If you've got a pogo stick and you're real good and you want to thrash on a halfpipe somehow with a pogo stick, I don't know how you'd do it, but I bet you could. We'd film that too.
Starting point is 01:59:01 That'd be fun. Oh, man. Damian GGJ says. That'd be fun. Oh man. Damien GGJ says, Ian must be laying off the drugs. Recently. He's been saying some decent stuff. Awesome, dude.
Starting point is 01:59:11 God bless to your team. I'm taking this very seriously. He's high on oxygen. That's right. He's high on life. Have you guys ever got high on oxygen before? You just breathe really hard for a long period of time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:23 Oh yeah. Yeah, it is. That's what it is. You're getting high on oxygen. Hopasan says, Relegalize dueling so whenever someone is offended, they can defend their honor
Starting point is 01:59:31 and the offender can stand his or her ground and fight back if needed. Just kidding. Thanks, Tim and crew. Ordered my tinfoil hat gorilla shirt two days ago. Looking forward to it. Oh, snap. Yes, my friends. If you go to TimCast.com, click that shop button.
Starting point is 01:59:43 We got tinfoil hat gorilla shirts for a limited time only. It is very similar to the regular I Am A Gorilla, but he's wearing a tinfoil hat. Oh, yeah. Do you know about the I Am A Gorilla thing? No, I was going to ask. Because Alex Jones was here, and he kept saying, I am a gorilla. He was referencing Ishmael. Okay.
Starting point is 01:59:59 And then, you know what Ishmael is? Ishmael is this book where a psychic gorilla tells humans there are viruses destroying the planet. No. A little weird. So Alex kept making that. He just kept randomly saying, I am a gorilla. And so we made a shirt that says I'm a gorilla and put a gorilla on it. It's actually, the Diamond Hands gorilla is right there in that shirt.
Starting point is 02:00:14 You can see it. I think it's a misprinted version. We keep it here. That's all right. Yeah, but this is the- It's a little too dark. It's the Wall Street version. Oh, this is the one where they made it darker to make it less racist?
Starting point is 02:00:23 Oh, yeah. They did that. That was an accident. But this one is the Diamond Hands gorilla made it darker to make it less racist? No, no. They did that. That was an accident. But this one is the Diamond Hands Gorilla where he got rich off GameStop stocks. Oh, nice. So he's got cash in his hands and he's smiling and smoking a cigar. I made a few on that. Oh, really?
Starting point is 02:00:34 That's nice. It's still doing well, I guess. All right. Let's see. We got a bunch of super chats. And oh, man. Wow. A ton just came in.
Starting point is 02:00:43 Whoa. The whole evil argument triggered a whole bunch of stuff. I thought, Jim, you made a good point where you said that there can be parameters that lead to situations that could be considered objective. That's an interesting concept. It doesn't have to be 100% broad on a topic. You can limit it. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:01 And you can have exceptions as well. Ayabat says, Ian's unwillingness to label evil as evil itself is evil. And then they called Ian an idiot. But I won't read the rest of that. You can't use the word to define the word. No. It's evil to use the word to define the word, isn't it?
Starting point is 02:01:21 It's very circuitous. I will say that. And there was no harm done. Yes. True. That was out of love. Maybe he stole a little oxygen. word to define the word isn't it it's very circuitous i will say that you can't and there was no harm done yes true true that was out of life maybe stole a little oxygen i mean you know but i got high because there was less oxygen in the room so thanks man a couple people have mentioned they became members but are having trouble logging in just email members at timcast.com and we'll fix this and we have the engineers solving the problem uh which should be soon never to happen again it
Starting point is 02:01:45 just it just these things happen and also someone's uh ghost crusaders wants to know the email for jobs it's jobs at timcast.com we are absolutely hiring the issue is we're a small company and we're hiring fat we have the ability to hire faster than we should and so there's a lot of considerations when a company grows really really really quickly, like human resources. Be challenged to deal with 50 new employees all at once so we have no choice but to have these staggered growth. But we're looking for a news editor, paranormal editor because we're doing that paranormal podcast. I'd like to find a PHP developer that would like to work maybe on a month-by-month basis. For the open source project?
Starting point is 02:02:27 Yeah, yeah. Find me on Twitter. Maybe find a journalist and have him learn to code. Oh, yeah. There you go. Yeah, perfect. Learn to code and hit me up. All right.
Starting point is 02:02:39 There's too many super chats, and so YouTube's loading really slow. Suffering from success over here. Geez. Yeah. Brown Bear says, Tim, please stop calling the M1 an iron sights rifle. any super chats and so youtube's loading really slow suffering from success over here geez yeah brown bear says tim please stop calling the m1 an iron sights rifle you can put a scope on it iron sights is not a classification of firearms i'm just saying that like stock it doesn't have a picatinny rail that's probably a better way to put it so what i'm the point i'm trying to make is that if you have an m1a that has nothing but iron sights, it's still an assault weapon.
Starting point is 02:03:06 If it has a 10-round magazine, it's still an assault weapon. It is wooden stock, long gun, doesn't matter what it has or what it doesn't have. I'm just throwing that distinction, and I appreciate the correction on the full specs for the M1A. The point I'm just making is the SCAR-20S is a modern AR-15 that is totally fine. So by their logic, this makes no sense. They want to ban the AR-15, but they ban the M1A? That's ridiculous. They got that backwards.
Starting point is 02:03:32 It's supposed to be scary black guns. Exactly. That's it. Right. Morons. Yeah, like a pistol grip on a Ruger 10-22. You got to get rid of that. But the rifle grip is fine.
Starting point is 02:03:42 Oh, my gosh. Brilliant. Chainsaw bayonet, though.

That would be great, man. Keegan Mooney says, first time chat, please make don't fight an alligator underwater t-shirts.
Starting point is 02:04:13 Maybe make the alligator look woke AF. That's a really good idea, actually. Can you write that down? I'm writing it down. We're going to do that. I'd wear that. That's a good, and we'll quote it to Ian. That was a good Ian quote.
Starting point is 02:04:23 That's a nice one. Don't fight an alligator underwater. Heck yeah. I'll roll you around. Yeah, yeah. It we'll quote it to Ian. That was a good Ian quote. That's a nice one. Don't fight an alligator underwater. Heck yeah. I'll roll you around. Yeah, yeah. It's funny because it seems obvious. All right, we'll take a couple more Super Chats. There's a, wow.
Starting point is 02:04:40 A lot of Super Chats came in talking about evil and things like that. It is a fun debate. It is a deep-rooted debate. Someone made a statement, but I'm going to ask this question for the Super Chat. things like that. It is a fun debate. It is a deep rooted debate. Good. Someone, someone, someone made a statement, but I'm gonna ask this question for the super chat. Ian,
Starting point is 02:04:49 if you had a time machine, would you kill baby Hitler? No, I thought a lot about that too. Yeah. There's something much worse may have come about. Oh, he was a product of his times in many ways.
Starting point is 02:04:59 That's what if you just, what if you just, what if you just like hobbled him? Might've been even worse. He was already kind of hobbled. The idea that doing something or not doing something because something worse might happen is a gutless move. There are times when, I mean, it's the trolley paradox. All right.
Starting point is 02:05:18 I'm not going to do the trolley paradox. What if I do it and it derails and 100,000 people get killed? You make the decision based on the context of the situation you're in. And if you have the opportunity to go and stop evil, you should stop that evil regardless of whether the potential that it could be worse exists. Maybe, though, Mussolini would have conquered more of Africa and Europe and then the Japanese would have taken Russia
Starting point is 02:05:41 and there wouldn't have been a reason for the United States to get involved with Britain and then it would be living in Japan. Or maybe the Bavarians would have just drunk more beer wouldn't have been a reason for the United States to get involved with Britain. And then it will be Japanese. Would it just drunk more beer without Hitler riling them all up and been happy just being fat and eating? Not the argument is I like I like the way it turned out as vicious as it was. I like the way that the allies won the war. And I don't want to mess with that. No, I don't know, man. There is.
Starting point is 02:06:04 I saw I saw a stat where they said there's two million less jews alive today than there were in 1939 so maybe if you could stop all that you try you know what i mean but here's the important question here's the important point ian you know look you'd love you loved adding parameters to the arguments except when it comes to stopping hitler what's up with that i just added a bunch of parameters i I could add a parameter. Okay. You can time travel. Yeah. So you go back and kill baby Hitler and then see what happened, and if it made it worse, then you try something else and kill him.
Starting point is 02:06:31 Oh, and then you could go back again and not kill him? Oh, of course. I'd go back and – I don't want to go any further. I'd try all sorts of crazy stuff if I had an infinite time machine. I'd buy Apple stock is what I would do. I would buy Apple stock. Bitcoin. Yeah. There you go. I'd go back to 2011 and I'd walk
Starting point is 02:06:47 into the hacker space where my buddy advised me not to buy thousands of Bitcoin. Ethereum was 89 cents in 2012. Virtually punch it in the face. No, I'd punch myself in the face. Why didn't you buy it? Alright, everybody. Smash that like button. Thanks so much. Everybody did smash the like button. It was weird. We were at like
Starting point is 02:07:03 10k likes and then 2,000 just disappeared. Creepy. In the blink of an eye. Yeah. They all snapped his fingers. The awesome viewers just fixed it. So that's great. So look, smash the like button.

Starting point is 02:08:12 because Twitter is evil and Jack Dorsey is some kind of cleric in a bad game of Dungeons & Dragons. I did see your picture when I went to your page. It looked like it was... Yeah, you've got to fight
Starting point is 02:08:21 through the filters to get there.
