The criminal trial of Derek Chauvin is still underway. And if you're actually following the trial, watching the live streams, you'd probably know it's not going that well for the prosecution. If this is their case and they're basically wrapping up at this point and we're going to move to the defense's case, I would say murder two is absolutely out the window. But we will see. In the meantime, riots erupted across Minneapolis yesterday because of another police shooting. And this one is where things get really interesting. There's a guy who was shot and killed.

The female officer was trying to plot a taser. You can hear her saying the body camera footage, taser, taser, taser. But she's holding her handgun. She shot him once. One time he said, holy ass, I shot him. Now people are rioting and a lot of people are looting. So this is where things start getting complicated because the judge has refused to sequester the jury while one of the jurors actually lives in this suburb. I can't imagine it's going to be a fair trial, but we'll see how this turns out. And I think we really got to get into the merits of what happened with this new shooting because Minneapolis is hot. You've got people who are ready to riot, who want to riot, and people who want to exploit that and loot.

And then this happens. There's a lot to go over in terms of justification. What'll happen with this cop? Is she going to be Chauvin number two? Honestly, I think she might be. So we'll get into all that. We got a bunch of other fun stories. We're going to talk about the new Disney Plus show, the Marvel show, Captain Falcon and

Winter Soldier. They're apparently doubling down on the wokeness and everyone's making fun of them so we'll get into that and we got a really great guest we got phil labonte of all that remains hello what's going on man do you want just quick little intro you've been here before uh i am phil labonte i sing for the heavy metal band all that remains uh we've been a metal band for 20 years uh I am active in the Twitter sphere.

This one's got me hot, riled up.

I'm all angry. Check out the story from Intelligence or NYMag. Authorities say cop accidentally shot and killed Dante Wright. This is an interesting story. Yesterday, we heard that these cops shot and killed a guy. He got pulled over, so his mom says, because he had air freshener hanging from his rearview mirror. They say that's illegal in Minnesota. When he was pulled over, the mom says she heard on the phone he was calling her trying to get the insurance information.

The cops say, get out of the car. He says, why? And they say, we'll tell you when you get out of the car. Apparently then the mom gets off the phone. He puts the phone down. Body camera footage finally gets released. It got released today. I guess the cops were very eager to put this out. I guess the cops thought that by

putting out this footage, it would calm things down. In my opinion, no, it's only going to make things worse in the mind of these cops. They're like, see, you have this lady cop and she's like, she yells taser, taser, taser. You've got Dante Wright resisting on camera, trying to jump back in his car and take off. And she's holding her gun. She yells taser three times, shoots him once and then says, holy S I shot him. He drove a little, a little bit crashed and then he died in the car. So the cops saying, look, we genuinely believe it was an accidental discharge that she was trying to tase him. There's a lot of issues here. First and foremost, Black Lives Matter protests and riots erupted immediately. Then many of these people who had been seen at these rallies started looting stores. I get these people hit me up on Twitter

and they're like, how do you even know those people are Black Lives Matter? There's like a photo going around of them literally waving a Black Lives Matter flag. I'm like, come on, dude. I'm not trying to besmirch the good name of literally everybody who believes in justice. I'm pointing out these people are protesting one minute. Some of them go off and loot. It just happens. Some looters exploit the whole system. Now, all this is happening in the backdrop of the Chauvin trial, so things are going to get absolutely nuts. Summer is lighting up, and there's a meme going around where it says, how to tell it was summer, 1990s. And it's the guy holding up Punxsutawney Phil or whatever that groundhogs name is and says to 2020.

And it shows a dude standing in a car with his fist up and there's fires all around him. Yeah, that's right. We know that it's getting warm outside because the riots are going to start. And if these cops think that any one of these extremists that are going around burning on the city are going to give them an inch, they're, they're insane. I think this lady cop is going to go to jail. They're going to try and charge her with whatever they can they might even get get her on murder three we'll break all that down but you know before before i go nuts and just rant all that stuff i want to just throw it to you guys like your thoughts immediately on on the news coming out of these riots and stuff uh well i mean you mentioned um that she had an accidental discharge and that was purely negligence um she didn't know what she was doing

um the police frequently need more training yeah she panicked um you know you hear stories about you know police looking for or they're talking about uh defund the police and honestly police probably need more funding for training. That's what I've always been saying. Yeah, I mean, if you are given the power over life and death of citizens, if you are going to be given a firearm to go out in the community and stuff, you want your police officers to have as much training as possible. You probably should roll back legislation

because you don't want police doing all the jobs that they're supposed to do. I understand that being a police officer is hard. I'm not like an ACAB dude at all. And it's a difficult job. But that doesn't mean that we have to make exceptions for when they make mistakes. You have to be held to account when you make a mistake.

And that negligence cost a man his life for nothing because he was, like we talked earlier, the reason that he had a warrant. So we're going to get into the full layers of this thing right now. You're going to go right for it. I mean, you know, I'm a big 2A guy. So, you know, the reason that he had a warrant was because he was carrying a gun in violation of state law. But in my opinion, there shouldn't be a state law was carrying a gun in violation of state law but in my opinion

there shouldn't be a state law regarding carrying a gun i agree so this is a sandwich here we got we got a we got a libertarian he shouldn't have resisted libertarian argument right the way i see it is here's here's what happens with this guy he gets pulled over he didn't realize he had a warrant andy no put up his the record of what the warrant was all about. Here's what I think happened. They say he was in possession of a firearm without a permit, and he fled by means other than a vehicle, both misdemeanors. I think this guy got stopped at one point, and he had a Ruger 45. And the cops saw the gun and said, you're under arrest, and he ran and got away. I bet he thought he was clean.

He got away. The cops got a warrant for his arrest. So when he gets pulled over, he's thinking like, it's no big deal. Then when they're like, get out of the car. And he's like, what's going on? You're under arrest. Then he's like, I got to, I got to flee. I got to get out of here. He shouldn't have resisted arrest. If he didn't listen. So like, I guess where we're going with this is he shouldn't have received any warrant or charges simply because he had a gun. But if he didn't resist and he just put his hands behind his back on two misdemeanors, then a gun rights group or someone could have advocated for his right to bear arms. Yeah. You never should resist because it always ends with more – it always escalates to more force.

Well, I never say never, but 99.9% of the time. Yeah, it's your chances of getting shot go up exponentially as soon as you resist. So fight the fight in the court. You don't fight the police. You're going to lose, and there's

always more cops. There are always more cops coming. There's backup coming, and there's backup to backup. I mean, it's like GTA. Eventually, the National Guard with tanks come if you kill enough cops in the game, right? So eventually, they're going to come with the APCs. You are going to get shot, killed. Don't fight the cops.

Fight in court. That being said, you shouldn't have to have so many interactions with the police You shouldn't have to worry about I had a gun and the police are going to take me to jail for it You know just for possession Possessing a gun When I say never say never about resisting I'm not talking about

You know a cop says look you got a warrant you're under arrest The reason I say that is because like There might be a cop committing a crime legit And he's like I'm a cop I can do what I want Okay that's different you know what I mean That's why I say that is because there might be a cop committing a crime, legit. Sure. And he's like, I'm a cop. I can do what I want. Okay, that's different. You know what I mean? That's why I say never say never.

If you get stopped by a cop and he's like, look, I'm arresting you, you're not going to win. Nope. If you're trying to get in a physical fight. Yeah. Smart people, you keep your mouth shut. You just remain silent. Put your hands behind your back. You call a lawyer as soon as you can.

And you've got to fight in the system. It's not easy. The right to remain silent is a right that is an option, and it's also your absolute best option if you feel that you're in a position where the police are doing something wrong. Say, look, I don't consent to any searches. Here's my information. And then you don't have to say anything else if you don't want. They're going to say that you're being uncooperative. They're going to say things to try and intimidate you. They're going to say things to try and make their own job easier because that's what it boils down to is they want their job to be easy

because most of them look at it as it's just a job. I'm doing my job. You don't make my job harder, but you still aren't obligated to talk to the police. Just don, you know, you don't make my job harder, but you still aren't obligated to talk to the police. Just don't say anything, but don't resist. Now we go to the next layer of this whole thing. The rioting is the worst part about all of it.

Like, well, the dead guy's the worst part about all of it. Then the second worst. Right. No, no, no. Absolutely. I mean, like, you know, moving beyond that. Sure. That's what I should clarify, too.

You know, after this instance, we have a bunch of people going around riding destroying everything and for what for what why why why are they going to be mobile and stop stealing twerking in the parking lot as they do it it's not for justice no it's not but is the media going to come out and be like opportunist looters are destroying the city no because clicks yep i mean if the more the more intense the situation gets on the ground the more people are going to click the headlines the more profit the media will make this is this is weird to me though like you'd think the shock content of like rioters burned down the city would be the narrative that would generate the most tricks for most clicks for like a suburban family. They should be writing headlines that are like, you know, crazy writers are burning

down the city. How long until they come to your house? Instead, they're like peaceful protesters are shopping without permission at night. I got nothing. I don't know. I don't know what they're thinking. I agree with you. The stories themselves, I feel like are enough to get people to click.

I think that the narrative that's being spun by most of your major media outlets is what they believe people want to read. So, like you said, side with the audience. And I think that's what people really want to... You said that you searched riot on Google search. We'll jump to that. That's crazy. But I want to get back on the gun thing because the one thing that's really pissed me off, I tweeted, this woman should be this lady cop, send her to jail, lock her up.

And it was funny because all these lefties were like, based Tim? Like, is Tim? Like, whoa, hold on, hold on. There's two things I want to say here. I've bought a bunch of guns recently. And every time I go there, there's one very important thing that every gun owner has told me. No matter what happens, you are responsible for what comes out of that barrel. Accident or otherwise.

You've got to take responsibility. That's why it is your responsibility to have all of the basic training. Don't point the gun at something unless you intend to destroy it. Keep your finger off the trigger. Guns are always loaded. All of these rules. Now, I get it. This lady, she screwed up.

She thought she was going for a taser. She yelled taser, but she was holding her gun. Heat of the moment. She was panicked. People don't realize that stress. She's still responsible for what comes out of that gun. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Now, here's the other thing, though, because we were getting into this. I'm extremely pissed about this whole interaction. I don't blame the cops themselves for being like, he's got a warrant, we've got to arrest him. Because they don't necessarily know what this is all about. But like we mentioned, this guy had a gun, and that was the grounds for him being charged with a crime. What law did he break?

The Constitution says, shall not be infringed. He didn't rob anybody. And I'll tell you what really bugs me, as I'm seeing conservatives post, this guy, there's one viral Twitter post where he's like, this guy would have robbed you in two seconds because he's got photos of him pointing a gun. I'm like, nah, nah, you have a right to bear arms. Sorry.

Absolute garbage take. The idea that someone can predict that, oh, this guy would have done this or would have done that. There is absolutely no way of knowing it. can predict that, oh, this guy would have done this or would have done that. There is absolutely no way of knowing it. And just because the conservative doesn't like the way the guy looks doesn't mean that the guy doesn't have rights. He has rights. For sure.

I do think there's photos of him with his gun and he's pointing it at the camera. And I'm like, that's cringy. I mean, it's cringy but i'm i know that there are pictures of me holding guns out there you know i mean i'm a big 2a guy i've gone and i've got videos on my youtube page that of me at classes training you know which if you i'm gonna take one second and steal the spotlight here if you own guns get training please please get training that's it's the best thing. The most responsible thing you can do is know how to properly use your gun.

You were saying before the show you took a police training gun class. It was totally inadequate. Absolutely. Yeah, so I've done – first time I ever shot, I went to a range with some other gun people. Well, I should say with one guy who was like well-versed in guns for a variety of reasons. He was a conflict reporter and he's been in countries where they have full auto

just rampaging about. So that's where he gave me some basic instruction. I wouldn't say it was like a legit training, but I actually did do an interview with a police trainer and went through the full police training. It's like a day.

It's one day. So I'm like sitting in a classroom. They're going over all this basic stuff. They're talking about, you know, a good shoot, a bad shoot, things like that. and then they allowed us to just sit in on it and then afterwards we went to their range and they walked me through the use of like all these different guns down from like starting with like a 22 handgun like really easy for someone who's never shot before even though I had and then up to I can't remember what the highest caliber they

was they had was you said what did you think it was like a 10 millimeter it could have been 10 millimeter yeah it was it felt like it was bigger than 45. Some kind of magnum or something. Something magnum, probably. And so I shot all these different guns. And the reason I say it was inadequate is because I'm like, dude, I shot like 12 bullets. You know what I mean? And my aim is not good with these things.

I was missing everything. Now, a long gun is a lot easier to be accurate with. But I'm imagining like a lot of these people who went through this were doing it to get some kind of certification. And then you put these people out in the street so so certification is not enough the the the big reason to go for training i mean just a certification is basic understanding and stuff the reason you should go for training is is so that way you know how to operate the gun should you need to you learn things like clearing your garment if you're carrying it concealed things that are practical and and and how to draw your gun and keep your finger off the trigger while

you're drawing it because one of the things that happens too frequently is people grab their gun and their hand goes right into the you know their finger goes right into the trigger guard when they're pulling it out and then they have a negligent discharge and stuff this is something we were talking about just before the show i'm like what she had a glock i'm pretty sure it was a glock and they don't have safeties and i'm like i wonder if this whole thing would just be solved be solved if they gave her like a beretta with like an actual safety on it just click the little safety up those things are like like we said those are training issues where right if you have a firearm with a safety on it again if you train pulling a firearm with a safety and and turning the off, it doesn't take any more time.

You're not a slower. It's not slower to get the gun out and stuff. But it's a training issue. If you have a gun like that, you need to train with it. Training is one of the most important aspects of owning a gun. She's going to be Chauvin number two. Probably. You should go to a training every year.

I'm going this weekend. You should go to a training every year. I'm going this weekend. You should go to one training class a year. I can't drive that point home. Could you argue that the dude got in his car and looked like he was diving for a gun? Yeah, a lot of people. I mean, that's fair. Completely fair. That's probably what she thought.

He had a gun. No, no, no, no, no. She was going for a taser. She said taser, taser, taser. She thought he was going for a weapon. And she said taser, taser, taser. I think it's definitive. Like a reasonable person would conclude she thought, taser, taser, taser. I think it's definitive, like a reasonable person

would conclude, she thought she was grabbing her taser, not her gun. But it is fair to conclude they thought he may be going for a weapon because he had,

his warrant was for having a weapon. I just, I don't care for that argument. Everybody should have a weapon because the Constitution says you can. And if you want to change it,

you change the Constitution. Yeah, but not everyone should die for their weapon when they're being detained. Nobody should die for their weapon at all. Zero people. There should be O people diving for their weapon when they're getting arrested by the police.

Cops pulling you over, you're getting arrested, you keep your hands visible, you obey, you put your hands behind your back, you let them cuff you, you keep your mouth shut, you deal with it through the courts. What people don't realize when all these people resist arrest, and they like this is bs man you can't arrest me dude this is the good side of things in some countries they just beat you to death right there on the spot in some countries they just put a cap and then they're done in america oh no you have to go and have a lawyer represent you and you get to actually come out and bond someplace

they're doing cashless literally first world problems. As much of a hassle as it is, you're totally right. You are 100% on the money there. It is first world problems that you have to go to court and go through a justice system as opposed to getting your ass handed to you. Or just being locked up

and thrown away the key. It's amazing that we're so used to this amazing system that the founding fathers had to die for. You might know this better than me, where it's like a certain number of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence lost their fortunes, were killed. Their houses were burned to the ground. That's what they fought for to ensure that when we get arrested, we get to go to court. They pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

And many of them died and pat like didn't have anything left to their kids their houses were burned their families were killed um we know about a lot of the the founding fathers that survived and stuff but there were people that signed the declaration that lost everything you know and died for it so and and part of that what they got us was the bill of rights which is the right to a speedy trial right that's that's in the fifth i think right it is in the fifth quite literally the right to a speedy trial, right? That's in the fifth, I think, right? It is in the fifth, yeah. Quite literally, the right to a trial is that you're going to get arrested, you're going to go before a judge, and you can ask for a jury of your peers.

It's not easy, and it's not always fair. I think it's better than 10 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer. But we strive for that, and it's not easy, and there is injustice. But it's like, dude, you're getting arrested. I'd be like, man, I'm sure glad I'm not in Turkey. Yeah, really? Or in Chile? I like how you phrase it, you get to go to court.

Because in a lot of cases, you're lucky to go to court. You just get beat down. If you don't bribe them, then you suffer. In Turkey, if you're a journalist, they just lock you up, and you don't get out. Yeah, that's just to go to jail. And then the Saudis come and kill you in the in there in the embassy so turkey has the worst laws for journalism and so i've been there reporting a couple times and the the pro-turkey people try to justify it's like no no you don't understand you don't

understand turkey is really good for journalists the people who are arrested aren't journalists they're like activists claiming they're journalists because they have a cell phone and i'm like so journalists like sorry dude i i get it i get what you're saying so we see these people out it's one thing if someone's like i'm a journalist and they throw a molotov cocktail it's another thing when there's a guy wearing an antifa sticker is just filming yeah push that guy aside he's allowed to film it's an act of journalism but in turkey they don't care they lock you up they throw away the key you don't get a first amendment you don't get a fifth amendment you don't get a second Amendment. You don't get a Fifth Amendment. You don't get a Second Amendment. You don't even have a First Amendment in countries that allegedly have the freedom of speech.

Like Britain. You don't have a First Amendment. In the UK, you can get thrown in jail for bad Facebook posts. In Canada, you can get thrown in jail for saying the wrong thing. In the UK, you could do something like, I don't know, teach your pug to do like the Roman salute or something. For instance. For instance. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then they'll lock you up and then i love mark and then you can teach your your other pug who's actually a black pug to do the black power fist and they don't care at all yeah that i gotta i gotta say for those that aren't familiar i'm making a reference to count ancula he's the best when he did his first video which got him in trouble was his he wanted to make his dog a nazi his girlfriend's dog because it was you know uh the nastiest thing you could think of but he later on after all of this he's been through he made a video where the other pug who was black he had it raised his fist for black power and it's hilarious and i got i gotta admit the cojones on this guy going through the courts they seize they try to lock him in jail he's laughing laughing. The media smears him. And then he's like, I'll do it again.

But you know what he knew? He knew they wouldn't arrest him for the black power thing. That was the point. And the video was really good. He's like, oh, no, the Labor Party is coming. I have to hide the Torah. I hope he moves to the U.S. He kills me.

He's great. I feel for people when they see American comedy and they try and pull it off in their own country and get busted by their cheap law enforcement. Well, let's talk about the media because you mentioned this a moment ago, Ian. Check this out. When you Google search riots right now, my friends, those of you who are not watching, just listening, we know that riots erupted in Minneapolis. We know that people are scared. The jurors are scared that if they give, I think this was expressed in the trial during the jury selection, that if they say not guilty for Chauvin, the city is going to burn to

the ground. What you need to understand is it's not just about whether or not Chauvin gets freed or goes to prison. There's three charges. Chauvin can be acquitted on one, two, or three, or none. And that means out of all the potential scenarios and everything we've seen, I would be willing to bet you will get a headline that says, Derek Chauvin acquitted in the murder of George Floyd.

And then it'll say, he was convicted on third degree murder and manslaughter, but acquitted in second degree. And they use the most shocking headline, acquitted in the murder of, because they want you to freak out. With that, the media knows exactly what they're doing, and I can prove it by simply going, and Google, I gotta say, whatever their system is, whether it's intentional or not, it's totally in on it. Right now, there's riots happening in Minneapolis. And guess what story you get when you go to Google and you type in the word riots. There it is. The first result out of 17 million.

Nine hours ago, the Washington Post headline, data about the Capitol rioters serves another blow to the white working class Trump supporter narrative. What? This was three months ago. They need the milk. I mean, We just had riots the other day. There's been riots going on in

Portland for a year. I know I've seen stuff about it in the past month and they're still talking about the Capitol riot. Why? Because the orange man is very bad, Ian. Don't you know? Your point is made. The orange man, he's, Ian. Don't you know? Your point is made.

The orange man. He's very bad, and people cannot forget that he is a very bad orange man. How is it that Google, 17 million results, the top post, data about the Capitol, and then underneath it, people also searched for riots in Minnesota? Why would they search for that? Could you imagine being in Minnesota and being like, you're hearing bangs and screaming. You're like, what's happening? So you go on Google and type it in. It's like capital riots.

You go, I don't care about that. It's ridiculous that you have to specify. It is ridiculous that you have to specify what riots when it comes to a news post. Which ones? Is it the ones that have been going on in Portland? Is it the one that happened at the Capitol? Is it the ones that have been going on in Portland? Is it the one that happened at the Capitol? Is it the one that's happening? I mean, that's

ridiculous. Hold on. You ready for the best part? Sure. I'm not done. Give it to me. I'm not done. Give it to me. The first post, when you search for riots, it's not Black Lives Matter. It's Capitol riots. Then you have people also searched for Newsweek, DW, and National Review talking about Minnesota.

But these aren't the results for riots. These are people also searched for riot in Minnesota. Google is letting us know these three results are suggestions not based on the search term riots. And guess what the actual second listing is in the search term riots right now as we literally had riots yesterday well the first one was the capital and the second one is from cnn one hour ago trump state department appointee facing capital riot charges released from jail what's the third clear the capital pence pleaded what's the fourth You're going to die tonight. Body, skin, and foot. It shows capital rights. Don't forget.

And then, and then, and then, and then, number five, TMZ. Dante Wright. Oh, not NewsGuard. TMZ got it right. TMZ. It is the fifth result right now, a day after the city was being ransacked and looted and there's tear gas and fires. They're still talking about the Capitol three months ago. I suppose that it is fair to point out that this speaks to your point that you've made

multiple times about the media loving Donald Trump and losing the revenue that he generated for them. Yeah. Because nothing in the past 10 years has gotten clicks like, you know, the orange man being very bad. But just why aren't they cognizant of this fact where they can just say, well, we have to move on? You know, so like, what am I talking about? On my main channel, TimCast,

last year I'm like, Democrats, Republicans, election, election election laws what's happening all very election related i get people going like all you do is talk about politics now you just talk about cultural issues i'm like dude what do you what's the big thing going on right now now we're outside the election and what am i talking about chauvin trial i've got like four out of the past five videos about the chauvin trial because this is the big impact it's where the news is going it's what's important i'm not talking about Trump. Trump used to be seriously in my tags, first word, because it was always Trump. It was always something with Trump. And even I was like,

geez, I'm tired. This guy's sucking up the air. Now we're in a new space. There's news happening. People want to know what's happening and what do you think about it? So for people who come to me, they're like, Tim, tell me what you think about this because most people already know what's happening and what do you think about it? So for people come to me, they're like, Tim, tell me what you think about this, because most people already know what's going on. You've seen the news article yourself. You talk to your friends about it. You go online to find commentary to maybe think of something or hear something you didn't think of yourself.

I do this, right? So now people are going and they're going to Google and type in riots. What's happening? Enter. The fifth search result was TMZ, and it was the first talking about Dante Wright. Do you know what the sixth is? Capital rider, ex-NYPD cop stunned. He's being held with inner city criminals. New York Post. It's not just the left. The New York Post is a conservative outlet. They're the ones that broke the Hunter Biden laptop story even then, 11 hours

ago. Amazing. And you know what's really funny? The next one is about Kenosha. It's remarkable to me that if you search for riots, you are not getting served information about what happened in Minnesota. And it's primarily because many of the big mainstream news sources that dominate search results ain't talking about it. Do you cross-check DuckDuckGo? Do you search with DuckDuckGo over?

No, no. I usually don't even use Google to find stories. I go through various news sources and I use Twitter and I kind of curate different sources. I can't get it up on my phone. I'm interested to see if you search Riot on DuckDuckGo. That's a good point. That's a good point. Let me see if I can... Why can't you get it up on your phone? I don't know how to switch it in my

Brave browser on the fly. I'll check into it though. Alright, maybe DuckDuckGo's... I'm not blaming Google necessarily. So the first result is recent news. Massive riots in Minnesota. Minnesota riots clear the Capitol. So the first two in recent news on DuckDuckGo is Minnesota.

So it could be... Hold on. Then we get general riot, not even news. So after that, it's like get general riot, not even news. So after that, it's like definition of riot, not even news. But let me click news to make sure I'm being absolutely fair. Right. Number one, when you go to riots, all DuckDuckGo, massive riots in Minnesota. Click the news tab.

The first result, massive Minnesota riots. Massive riots in Minnesota. The second one, several Minnesota businesses looted. The third, cleared the Capitol. So they still have some of these stories, but DuckDuckGo is prioritizing better, in my opinion. Could be the Google algorithm is just tainted towards trash bait, flash bait, or whatever. Or it could be that Larry and Sergey are political. I mean, those guys run Alphabet.

They're basically the owners of Alphabet. It's the trash bait we know that Google has a news source ranking where they like I think a bunch of conservative outlets don't appear in search particularly the Breitbart, I think Breitbart's like omitted and I think we saw this leaked actually, I think it was like Veritas

or somebody leaked where it's like here's the Google blacklist of all the websites they don't allow to appear in search or are limited for a while even my YouTube channels were and then it wasn't until on this show i said hey my youtube channels are blacklist they removed it so i'm like google must be listening they're listening but this is what's happening google you don't think it is i think it's like a toilet being flushed and like all the turds are being swirled towards the middle so what happens is google i believe genuinely and from their own bias, I'm not saying they're not doing things wrong.

I think they think they're genuinely doing the right thing. They're like, we got to get rid of this fake news. Let's make sure we only prop up CNN, Washington Post, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, et cetera, New York Times. Those outlets are then suffering. Their ratings are collapsing. Their subscriptions are down. So they're like, just make Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. So when we're three months out

from the Capitol riots or protests or insurrection, whatever you want to call it, they're still doing it because here's what happens. Like many of the grifters, the people who are all about just pandering to the tribe,

the news outlets built up an audience of angry establishment Democrats and leftists. If they come out now and say something, they're worried they will lose money. So they're probably sitting there. I've been in these editorial meetings. I imagine they all sit down and they're at the table and there's someone on the phone,

some editor or some boss. They're like, okay, so what are the stories that we got? And they're like, well, we had those riots yesterday in Minnesota. And they're like, okay, so what are the stories that we got? And they're like, well, we had those riots yesterday in Minnesota. And they're like, well, you know, we haven't gotten a resolution yet. Why don't we hold off on that one? We can talk about the Capitol. You know, some of these guys are getting residents.

Capitol's great. Let's talk about the Capitol. And what you don't hear in the actual words, what underlines this, is the boss going, if we talk about the minnesota stuff we're gonna piss off a lot of our subscribers and lose money capital now that's that's that's money and that's safer for us let's go with that one yeah i mean that seems like a reasonable take um especially considering um a lot of the the more progressive news outlets are run by people that are not as interested in progressive issues as they are in the bottom line. You know, when siding with your audience is the primary driver, you know, you don't want to focus on things that will upset them or drive them

away. Do you think they were like, well, there were riots, so let's write a story with that flash word in it. And then so they said, okay, we got to write a story about riots because riots are popular right now. There's going to be a lot of riot search results. So then they picked the most trashiest riot and they're like, let's write about the

January 6th or is it just they've been writing about that crap anyway I hadn't thought about that but maybe they do I would I think that I would look in the next couple days to see what happens if that if there are a lot

if there continue to be because they didn't know that there were going to be riots today two days ago and some of the stuff that Tim was pulling up was from you or the day before or whatever. The riots have started off today, I believe. Or at least the ones in Minnesota because of the cops' bad shoot. Would you like to play a game? Yes.

I would. Would you like to play a game? So I pulled up two progressive sources. This is not science this is just me pulling up two progressive sources then msc msnbc and fox news to see what they're talking about and it's exactly as i thought first we have slate.com what's their headline story inflation is about to look freaky slate.com is a leftist publication you think they'd be talking about something we got over here a small little you know blurb on the left. Is Derek Chauvin's defense flailing? The answer to that question is no, by the way.

But the big story isn't about Minnesota. In fact, I don't even think I see anything on Minnesota. All right, okay. Well, slate's not the biggest. Let's try Vox. V-O-X. Vox.com. Okay.

Let's jump over to Vox. And what do we see for the main number one story? The hottest number in conservation is rooted more in politics than science. Why the U.S. egg industry, the Christian right, the Chauvin trial feels momentous, Georgia companies banding together, natural born citizens,

Biden's plan, the bizarre push. Where's the Minnesota riots? Okay, okay, okay, hold on. Now Fox News. Now we know Fox News is going to be talking about the riots. Yeah, Rupert Murdoch.

All right, pull up Fox News. The top story is city manager fired for demanding due process for cop in deadly shooting mayor takes control of police okay so we got dante right from fox news it's actually i don't i wouldn't say it's right biased but they're just saying the cop demands due process and got fired that's fairly neutral but they are talking about it they're're not talking about it in a positive light, right? I mean, sort of. You think it's a little biased? No, it's just that nowadays the Constitution is a right-leaning issue.

It's not. The left doesn't give a crap about the Constitution. All right. Well, just below this on the front page of Fox News, bracing for violence, live updates,

curfews in effect across Minnesota, crowds swarm NYC streets. All right, well, the two progressive sources weren't talking about it at all. Fox News is. Now, what do you think MSNBC has to say? Nothing good. MSNBC, top story. Yamashay Alessandor.

Dante writes shooting is a recurring nightmare for black Americans. That's exactly what I thought it was going to be. I thought the progressive outlets would probably blurb this somewhere but not really talk about it. And the big networks were going to choose their position. Fox News, this is bad. Prepare for violence. MSNBC, it's a nightmare what's happening. Not referencing the nightmare for everybody else as their city burns.

So you know what i like to say when i you know i guess one thing i can give credit to what we do here i tweeted the cop should be in jail like like i already said whatever comes out of that gun that's your responsibility i'm not saying murder charges because i don't think that's not going to stick there was no intent but she she screwed up and i had a bunch of lefties saying your followers sure are going to hate this one tim and i And I'm like, I don't care. People don't know. People that aren't involved in the gun world at all, they don't know how people that are involved in the gun world think. Right.

Good. Good. I was going to say conservatives, I think, who are more concerned about Black Lives Matter and rioting are going to be less pro-2A. Libertarians who are very, very staunchly pro-2A and not big L libertarians, just libertarian in general, are going to look at this and be much more about gun rights. Yeah. If you're pro-2A, especially if you're a younger person that's pro-2A, the idea of being exclusionary when it comes to your pro-Second Amendment attitude, that is old person stuff. That is FUD talk. Seriously, that is not what you see when you talk to people that are pro-2A nowadays. You're saying they want it across the board?

It's a very inclusive inclusive thing you've got people like magister and you got people like coleon noir out there uh you know really representing uh you know representing black people that that have just as much love for the the gun world as uh as anyone else or as any white people do so if you if you tell me that this dude you know in in dante right was a violent criminal who should be in prison and all that stuff i'm like i don't think you're actually pro too i think you're just a tribalist yeah if you say look man he shouldn't have resisted arrest the cop i understand what happened i agree you're right however he should be allowed to have his gun yeah he shouldn't have

been an issue in the first place so but here so we'll and we'll just reiterate this point because for this segment dante Wright should have just been arrested. He should have put his hands behind his back and then someone could have advocated for him. Yeah. Because then they would have been like, is the only thing he's being charged with is that he was carrying a gun. I'm pretty sure the second amendment says the right to keep in bare arms shall not be

infringed. What is his crime? And then you sue, he would have had standing to make a challenge, maybe up to the Supreme Court. And then it would have been exonerated and it would have made the whole country better for everybody shouldn't have resisted he shouldn't have been criminalized in the first place for his right to bear arms so it's a layered thing it is but uh you know long story short this is what we get from the media but we do have more riots so um

don't worry the riots don't end oh they don't don't worry, the riots don't end. Oh, they don't end. Don't worry, guys. Fun doesn't end there. Ooh, more riots. More riots. Riots rock Montreal. Oh! COVID-19 lockdown protests turn ugly. Okay. I mean, I don't blame them considering how the country, the federal government up in Canada has been behaving.

But it is fairly impolite to riots. I'm a little surprised they're very polite up there yeah i think uh i disagree with the rights i i think the lockdowns at this point are are proving to be have been mistakes uh we should have done i think what they call the surgical strike where it's like protect the elderly protect the vulnerable and then have like limited restrictions yep now you got the today show they were they were on the segment that goes viral where they're like texas and florida see their covid cases going down below the national average whereas stricter states like new york and california see their cases rising

what could be causing this it's like i don't know but at a certain point maybe you should be like we're seeing something here fauci gets asked about it and he's like i don't know okay well i mean the government has had such a a bad reaction to or bad policy whatever you want to call it to covid since the beginning i'm still of the opinion that they were they proved themselves to be unreliable and not worth trusting when they were telling people not to wear masks and then did the complete reversal. Especially seeing as it seems to me, if I understand correctly, the reason they were telling people not to wear masks was because they were concerned about whether or not people

in the medical field would have enough. They're literally lying to the American people about things they believed would be helpful because essentially it was triage. Right, Fauci said this. He said, like, we just want to make sure the medical community got their masks. So I don't trust the government at all.

You know, I'm kind of, look, I'm middle of the road, right? I got to say, the things that I find bothersome are you've got a lot of tribalistically pro-vax people taking their selfies and like gloating and smiling you get brian stelter on cnn saying why won't fox news post selfies with their vaccines and i'm like you're making it worse if you talk to your doctor if your doctor recommends it go with what your doctor says i was talking to somebody and they said their doctor actually recommended against it because, you know, wife was pregnant and they were concerned about allergens, things like that. And I'm like, your doctor knows better than anybody.

But then there are people who are like mad at me because I'm like, talk to your doctor. And if it's right for you, only your doctor can tell you. And I got tons of friends who are posting vaccine selfies. I roll my eyes. Guys, it's like just I get it. You got your vaccine. Congratulations. Yeah, it's it's really is. I mean, look, they're saying COVID might replace the flu. We know it's more serious than the flu. We know it's infectious. But I get it. I'm not going to go to the doctor and then post selfies and join this tribal crowd.

I think everybody is just trying to play tribal politics on this one. It's really simple. Talk to your doctor. It's just absolute cringe. Yeah. It's fine if you want to get the vaccine. I'm likely to get one in the next week or two. If I can get one in New Hampshire, I'll be getting one.

Do you know which brand you're going to get? Not the one that comes with free blood clots. That was the AstraZeneca one. Dude, I saw this really amazing meme video. It is really funny. It's this dude, and he's it's it's him acting all the scenes one of these tiktok meme videos and he's like he's playing the patient sitting there like you know half like lazily and the doctor you know gives him the the the vaccine

he's like there you all you're there you go you're all set then he goes i've done it i've collected all five and then he's like what what do you mean and he he goes, I've gotten the Pfizer, the Moderna, the AstraZeneca, the Johnson & Johnson, and the Sofali or whatever. And then the doctor's like, you need to go to the emergency room. And then he punches the doctor in the face. And he's like, why be immune when you can be invincible? And then a guy runs in. He's a cop. And then he, like, uses telekinesis on him.

It was a great meeting. I wish I remembered the guy's name. It was funny. Long story short, because I'm just kind of like of like look they have new flu shots every year and again i know the flu is is is not nearly like kovats worse i think that the mortality is like double or triple but like i don't go to walgreens and like take pictures and like dance around and like all the meme stuff we thought in the hospital it It's just – look, man. I've always been rather anti-establishment and I guess to a certain degree punk rock. I just – I cringe at this like we're all holding hands under the rainbow and going to the doctor and posting these selfies.

I mean look, it's bad that people have lost their lives and have lost their jobs and their businesses and stuff, one of the more first world problems is just the level of cringe has gone through the roof because of COVID. The amount of people that are, you know, the whole superheroes bowing to doctors picture that. I mean, it's just, you know, I'm for, if your doctor says you should get the vaccine, I'm for getting it.

I'm going to get it because I will do almost anything to get back on tour again because I miss touring so much. I love playing shows. It's not just my livelihood. I love performing. So if I've got to get a vaccine to get on the road again, okay, fine. But man,

if I see one more person wearing two masks in their their default picture on in their bathroom oh it's just like come on come on these are things it's i get that you're that you want to do this but it's all this this tribal virtue signal stuff it's just you're gonna vomit the weird the weird thing to me is like uh i understand if people are concerned about the vaccine because it's under emergency use use authorization so it's not gone through final approval that sure sure sure i'm just like talk to your doctor but you know i think most of the people that have come through here in the past month have gotten their vaccines yeah and we've like talked about it and they're like oh yeah you know they're like it's not a big deal

and i'm like what's this it's I wouldn't call it anti-vax. I would call it, there's like people who don't trust what's, you know, the vaccine. And it's kind of weird to me because I'm like, I don't know, dude, talk to your doctor. I get it. Like you're allowed to, you're allowed to do what you want, read what you want. But I just feel like the way I've always explained it is I went to my doctor a year ago and he prescribes me some like crazy, you know, I don't even know what it's called. And I'm like, it's like this weird long word.

And I'm like, sounds good to me. And now people are like, all of a sudden, I'm concerned about this. I'm like, dude, I think the vaccine passport stuff goes over the top. Very, very, very, very over the top. Yeah, like it's, you know. Yeah. But I think your medical history is your medical history. You talk to your doctor.

Your doctor tells you what to do. Talk to a bunch of doctors. I think we've beaten a dead horse on this one but let's let's do this you mentioned you want to go back on tour absolutely man check this out cdc director says michigan needs to shut down again amid rising coronavirus cases and will not be able to vaccinate its way out of a fourth spike come on man i feel like i got people saying like tim's shilling for vaccines and i'm like dude i've gotten a ton of vaccines before. I don't get it, man.

I want to go back to Flint when they come back out and they're like, Oh, even if you get the vaccine, we're still shutting the state down. I'm like, what am I supposed to tell people? If I can't go outside, why don't you the vaccine?

If you're telling me I can't go out, I can't go to the store. All right. Well, once we start reopening, I'll call my doctor and say, what do you think? I got food allergies.

That was always like the, the like the issue for me on this. I'm not going to. And I'm 35, man. I'm not in the affected group. But if they were like, we're going to reopen everything. And, you know, it's easier if you get your vaccine. Then I'll be like, all right, cool. You know, we're getting back to the movie theaters and all that stuff.

You're not going to wear a mask. But they're telling me I got to wear two masks and I can't go outside. But go get it anyway. I'm like, I'm chill. I'll wait. Like, I don't understand. I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm not trying to be like anti-vaccine anyway. I'm just, I'm chill. I'll wait. Like, I don't understand. I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm not trying to be like anti-vaccine anyway.

I'm just saying, I mean, I got time. You know what I mean? Again, it comes back to the mistrust of, or at least for me, it comes back to the mistrust of government because they've had such a bad, even if it's just messaging, the messaging has been so just abhorrently terrible, just disgusting. And you're going to have people that don't, to have people that don't trust what they're saying. And I mean, I don't feel like I should be expected to know what to do. I yell at a stick for a living. I sing in a band. I am not the guy to ask or to tell you what you should do

when it comes to vaccinations. I don't know. I have to go by what I read and by what I hear. And if you're only going by what you read and what you hear, you're literally basing your opinion on someone else's opinion. You're saying, this guy I trust and this is what I've heard from this guy. And so when it gets to people on Twitter being rude and stuff like that or acting like they're so much better than other people because they're like, oh, this is what I believe and you are so dumb for taking the vaccine

because all the stuff that goes in there or you're so dumb for not taking the vaccine. What do you know? Talk to your doctor. You work at the pretzel place in the mall. Shut your face you know like you know i love it's like your doctor could literally prescribe you like frazzo basil bam shove it up your ass that's the thing yeah and people are like you got it doc yeah i'm like it's between you and your doctor man i don't want to know about that and then because their

doctor recommended they're going to talk to you like you're a moron because you're not taking the suppository right now. You can also get a second opinion. That's a big part of the medical industry. Not on Twitter. You're entitled to one and you get banned. If a doctor tells you something and you question it, that's your right. And you also have the right to then a second and maybe a third opinion

and to look to other doctors. And you should be researching, if you're going to stick stuff in your body, what you're doing with it. I'm just mad at Fauci because he has been the biggest discouraging factor in all of this. It's just like, come on, dude. Texas and Florida are doing all right. You know what I mean? I just came from Texas, and there are still some of the larger chain stores like Walmart,

you still have to wear a mask and stuff, but smaller places and smaller businesses, people don't wear them and you don't see a lot of people freaking out. And I think there might be something to the idea that Texas is hitting 80s and 90s now. So people are outside and not cooped up. And maybe that does have something to do with it. But again, what the hell do I know? I sing in a band. I can only go by what I'm seeing.

Yeah, Florida and Texas are warm. Yeah. So is California though. Yeah. Well, it could be you're outside. You're less likely to transmit perhaps. Yeah. But again, not a doctor.

Like I said, man, doctors prescribe you some weird stuff. They borrowed a lot of money to be able to do that stuff. Go talk to them and get your insurance company to give them some money so they can pay back their loans. But what's worrying to me is that at a certain point, people are just not going to care anymore. And there was this one thing, I think it was on CNN, where this woman was like, now is our chance to get the vaccine out because if we don't... Terrifying. They're like, people are going to go out and do their own thing anyway.

Enjoy their freedoms. The worst thing about that is is the just she misunderstands what the role of government is misunderstands anything about human liberty it misunderstands why people are free thinks that that you're the government gets its power from the existence of the government as opposed to the consent of the governed. I mean, it is just listening to that person go on. I was appalled. It was one of the most offensive things that I've heard in ages, and I'm not easily offended.

Yeah, it's like they're going to enjoy their freedom anyway, so now's our chance. Like, come on, dude. Well, how about we get into one of the most dangerous stories for youtube as it were because uh hey if it's in the news it's in the news and who am i to judge we have this story from the daily mail you ready for this one let's go pentagon scientists reveal a microchip that senses covet 19 in your body before you show symptoms and a filter that extracts the virus from your blood. Gimme!

I can't believe it when I saw this meme going around. I'm like, that's not real. I can't believe that's an actual story that is being... I mean, I'm surprised that it hasn't been squashed by Google and all the other... 60 Minutes. It's a 60-minute story. It's a 60-minute story? 60-minute story. No. Let me read a little bit let me read this pentagon scientists working inside a secretive

unit set up at the height of the cold war have created a microchip to be inserted under the skin which will detect covet 19 infection it's the mark of the bees they're putting robots in you and a revolutionary filter that can remove the virus from the blood when attached to a dialysis machine. Does it have lights on it? Are they shooting lights in your vein like Trump said? Oh, gosh. They're going to put a bleach. The team at DARPA have been working for years on preventing and ending pandemics.

They assess the issues and come up with ingenious solutions, which at time appears to be more science fiction novel than working in a laboratory. One of their recent inventions, they told 60 Minutes on Sunday night, was a microchip which detects COVID infection in an individual before it can become an outbreak. The microchip is sure to spark worries among some about a government agency implanting a microchip in a citizen. By some, they mean Jesus people. There are people that are very religious.. By some, they mean Jesus people. By some, I think they mean

people that are very religious. I'm pretty sure they mean everyone. Except these like, just, I don't know, man. Bill Gates is on, is like, yeah, let's do it. I want to put a chip in everyone. Do you remember Verichip?

This was like 10 years ago, I think. Vaguely. Or maybe like 15. Vaguely. Refresh my memory. There are RFID chips they would implant in your hand. Oh, yeah. And you could wave it by a door okay yes yeah and it had your information on it and the way it works is that the signal emitted from the reader provides

enough power for it to bounce back a signal with information it's brilliant but when that came out this is like 2000s people were freaking out like this is it this is the mark of the beast there are already biohackers that have have done that kind of stuff to themselves though yeah i mean there's people for like full weird like arduinos like in their arm your body rejects that stuff yeah but like this stuff has been around for a while where there's been some kind of microchip embedding and there's been all the conspiracy theorists and the funny thing is there's a meme going around because of i think ryan reynolds where he posted a vaccine selfie and he said, upgraded to 5G today. I saw that.

Now I'm seeing all of my, like, I'm seeing some of my friends and a bunch of memes where people are like, getting 5G reception is great. And I'm like, I get it. I get it. It's a funny joke. But the thing is, the media was desperately trying to tell people, even YouTube was against the rules. They're not putting microchips. There's no microchips. There's no microchips. There's no COVID microchips.

Stop. And then it's like, okay, fine. Okay, we won't say it. It's crazy. We know it's crazy. And then Sunday, 60 minutes. There's microchips. It's okay for 60 minutes to do it too.

Yes. Oh, man. This conversation probably got this stream defunded. I wouldn't be surprised if we get in trouble for something like this. Because you know what happens? The way YouTube videos are moderated, it's typically some dude in like India or China or Mexico

and it's outsourced labor where some of these people... Is it really? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. My understanding is, I'll put it that way just in case. But my understanding is it's outsourced labor because there's so much content.

So you get some person who's watching it and they don't understand context. First, you get the robots that do it. And the robots are like, I see swears, beep, boop, boop, demonetized. Then if it escalates, you'll get a review from a person and they're going to be like, oh, microchips, that's conspiracy theory, boop, boop, demonetized. Not anymore. This happens to me all the time though. Check it out. So I actually have – I actually know people at Google, but I have an actual Google rep that I have to constantly message like, hey, this is demonetized.

There was – we had two videos on this show, on this channel, where we criticized Ocasio-Cortez. We got demonetized because of it. And they said you violated our policy against being hateful towards an individual. She'll send people to your house. What? AOC? Yeah. That guy.

There was that person that was on Twitter that made a comment critical of AOC and the police showed up. FBI showed up. What? Really? You didn't hear about this? No. Yeah. I don't remember the guy's name.

He was a left-leaning guy and he said something critical and he something critical and he ended up with uh with someone at the fbi at his house about the uh because he was he criticized aoc so i don't think that it was aoc the first well i i'll to be fair the first story that pops up is actually they tweeted about some something really bad like causing harm to somebody spicy Was it spicy? Yeah. Yeah, I'd say it was spicy. So if you Google search AOC FBI, something I probably can't repeat on YouTube because... Too spicy. Let's not go there. Yeah, yeah. It wasn't just a guy saying like,

AOC, you suck. It was a guy who said something like, go do a thing to this person. You know what I mean? Oh, interesting. Do you see it? Do you see the story? Somebody was basically calling for harm against AOC. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking at this person. You know what I mean? Oh, interesting. You see it? You see the story? Somebody was basically calling for harm against AOC.

Yeah, I mean, I'm looking at this now. Or is it a different... Because the one I saw was from a couple months ago. No, no, this is... Yeah, this is not the one that I'm referring to.

So there is a story where a guy was being mean to her. Well, anyway, while you look that up, I'll just finish off this point. They demonetized these stories because we were critical of AOC. Yes. And then i submitted for appeal and they were confirmed demonetized so then i had to contact google i'm like hey and then it took like a week and they were like sorry

about this they're monetized that wasn't against the rules i'm like we're criticizing a politician dude you know like what can we say unsettling this case, we're talking about microchips that the Pentagon has announced. Yes. On 60 Minutes. 60 Minutes. CBS. Is that CBS? That's CBS.

Are you going to get the microchip? I am not going to get the microchip. I want to know, is it proprietary software? I will get the neodymium magnets in my fingertips. Oh, I am sold. You know about that? No. Do you know about this biohacking thing?

No. Do you know about this biohacking thing? No. If they cut open your fingertip and they put like a – it's like a coated neodymium magnet, a small one. And then they sew your fingers up. And when it heals, the magnet vibrates against electromagnetic fields. So it gives you electro sense. What? So you can actually put your hand on a wall and feel where the power cables are. Because – and apparently it feels different

like it's a new sense you're like whoa I've never felt something like this what happens is the magnet is pulling pushing against the nerve from the inside and vibrating so you can like feel like the EMF waves the electromagnetic waves coming off of electric objects and devices

I used to put magnets on mine Lydia looks horrified The EMF waves, the electromagnetic waves coming off of electric objects and devices. I used to put magnets on mine. Lydia looks horrified. It's cool. It's cool. The problem is your body rejects foreign objects. So for a lot of people, what happens is eventually your fingers just spit them out. Yeah.

They just get pushed further and further out. So there are some techniques they try doing. They coat it in a material so that your body ignores it. Some of the early pioneers of this have had the magnets break in their fingers, and you got to get them removed, and there's like infection risks. And your fingertips are particularly sensitive, so getting them sliced open for the surgery. Hey, man. But, man, I've always thought that was really cool. Now, microchips.

I will get Neuralink. Will you get Neuralink? I don't know that I'll get first gen. Did you see the monkey playing pong? No. Dude, you've got to look it up. Amazing. And it's at the end of the video.

Can we go from being very scared about the government playing microchips, talking about monkeys playing pong? He's good at it. He's doing it with his mind. Is it a chimp? It's a macaw. Yeah. I don't trust the government, but Daddy Elon, I tell you what,

there's a totally different kind of deal going on with Elon. He's open sourcing the code and you know what it's tracking and what it's not tracking. He can open source the code, but I'm still relying on someone else to tell me because I can't code. So like you could be like, oh, you know, look, you can look at the code. It's like people say, oh, you can look at the Bitcoin ledger and see. I'm like, no, you can look at the Bitcoin ledger and see. I can't. That's all German or

whatever. Our president speaks English, doesn't speak foreign languages. He relies on an interpreter. The interpreter may as well be the president. Hold on, hold on. Our president does not speak English. Yeah, I was going to say. Come on, man. Turn it down and stop it. He speaks elderly. He speaks English. Yes, he does.

I pulled it up. Yes, he did. Business. Elon Musk's company says this monkey is playing Pong with his mind. This video he does. I pulled it up. Yes, he's in business. Elon Musk's company says this monkey is playing Pong with his mind. This video is lit. The monkey playing Pong. So I will mention. Do you know what an EEG is? Electroencephalogram. So you can actually buy them.

They've been around for a long, long time. There's consumer grade ones. I talked about this before. We bought one where it's a band that goes over your head and then there's like a bar that goes onto your forehead and it can detect two different waves i guess and so there's a a reader an eeg reader on the computer and there was a red and blue line and they're like bouncing randomly and it's like focus and concentration or whatever i don't know what it means and me and and my friend, we put the EEG on and we're like trying to focus

and the lines are just random. It's actually horny and hungry. Yeah. No matter what we do, we couldn't get the lines to move. But then we gave it to his sister and she put it on and she could move the red line.

She figured out real quick and make the line go up and then she would look at it and the line would go up. Very hungry. Very hungry. That's right. So we were wondering if these two outputs could be used to control a drone

so that you have two controls one is to make it go up and down and the other is to make it rotate so you couldn't fly it around because you'd need more sensors sure but with just that instead of a red line on the screen the drone could be going up and down. So I bring that up because that wasn't invasive. It's a headband you'd put on. You can buy all these things right now. Does the monkey really need to get his brain chipped to be able to play Pong? The answer is no, he doesn't. He does.

So that way, eventually, you can wear it in your head and type on your phone without your fingers. Aren't you worried about being turned into the Borg? No. No? No. Why do you want the neural link because i want to i because i think that that elon musk is right about the interface that to me that's really the the the interesting thing the interface that we have today with the internet is limited to most people as their thumbs you know you we like you, you used to have a full keyboard walking around all the time

then it's gone down to your thumbs. If you can manage to just interface with the phone or whatever in your pocket without having the slowness of your thumbs and you can just access the existing internet by thinking, that's

something that I find extremely intriguing and I think would be a very useful, useful thing to have in your day to day life. I'm not looking to be like, oh, I want the internet in my brain or whatever. Having that, but having that interface from, from that removes my hands, you know, the necessity of having my hands do the typing to access the internet, that I think is interesting. Don't you want to download Kung Fu like in The Matrix? I love the idea.

I do. But I also think that there is a certain amount of – well, I mean I suppose they could eventually – if that is possible, you could download the muscle memory and stuff like that. You need muscle memory and you need the muscle proteins to actually build up to be able to do half the things. So it's not just about – it's funny when people are like in the Matrix. He plugs a thing in his brain. He downloads Kung Fu and then he can fight. He's like, I know Kung Fu or whatever. It's like, well, hold on, hold on.

I can watch someone do something and they can explain it to me and then my brain is like, got it. And then I'll fall over because I'm not flexible enough and I'm not strong enough. I just started taking jujitsu about a month ago and there is a significant learning curve to I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. For me, right now, I'm basically at a point where if I can pass guard on someone that I'm rolling with and I'm like, okay, I feel like I've won. I don't know what to do. So not knowing. So having the information there would be cool and knowing, okay, this is what I'm looking

to do. But the actual executing still would take some kind of, you know, some amount of physical work, I think. Bro, what if you're actually like a 5'3", morbidly obese dude plugged into a Neuralink right now because you've always, your whole life wanted to be a famous heavy metal singer,

and you're in the game right now? Well, you know, then hopefully he never wakes up. At least you can say you can enjoy yourself playing a video game. Not because people talk about you get the Neuralink, you plug in, and you're like in Skyrim. You're in World of Warcraft or Call of Duty or whatever. Yeah, I don't think that with VR headsets and stuff like that, that's not super far away. Sensations like smell that you get when you're in a place, the way things smell in a place, I don't know that we could reproduce that.

But Neuralink possibly could by accessing those parts of your brain. And then you go ahead and you put on a VR helmet for the sound and sight. I mean, you know. I heard that they're actually working on virtual smell by causing electrical stimulation in your ear, in your inner ear. I tell you, those things, Tinder use would go way down if that stuff was real. Like right now, we're in a simulation in the real world. Phil, you're actually like some 23-year-old fat kid, and you're like, I always wanted to be a heavy metal singer, and you're in the game. Ian's actually like a tech billionaire who's really smart and clean cut, and he's like, I just wanted to be this free-spirited DMT crazy guy in a podcast so bad.

You're like, I'm schooling these dudes. What I mean is I'm very hypothetical, obviously, but if it's possible to create a virtual environment where you get to experience that game, how do you know you're not already in it? Yeah, I've heard people talk about

the idea that it's a simulation and stuff like that. Elon Musk talks about it. Yeah mean what if he's trying to break out of the simulation well then i want him to i i i i truly think that elon musk is like is a i think that he's he's a probably a pretty good dude who isn't you know isn't like the people at google yeah i tweeted i tweeted tax the rich, and then all the lefties were like, yeah, and then a bunch of conservatives were like, ha ha, very funny, Tim.

And then I tweeted tax the rich, but give all the money to Elon Musk. And they're like, okay, now the left side have it because they don't like him at all. Yeah, they don't like him at all. But they don't like him because he has money and he's successful and people on the left are, you know. Yeah, I was really annoyed when he blasted

the Tesla into space. And they're like, this is so dumb. And I'm like, well, he needed a payload. He needed a weight. And he made something really cool and inspirational for young people. That's legit. Yeah.

So I'm fine with it. I don't like the idea that you got all these billionaires dumping money into politics. So take it all and just give it to Elon Musk and let him build a spaceship to Mars. I want to see that. You know, when people like Bernie,

when someone like Bernie Sanders criticizes Elon Musk, it really, really rubs me the wrong way. Because Bernie Sanders has done nothing but live off of other people's money his entire life. He's produced nothing of value. He wrote a book. Yeah, you're right. And then he made a million dollars off of his book. And then he stopped talking about the millionaires and the billionaires.

No, no, no. Just the billionaires. Yeah, now he talks just about them. He brought them back though. He brought them back. Did he really? I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. You were right. You were right. He stopped talking about the millionaires. Yeah, yeah. It's just the billionaires that he's got a problem with. But then he brought millionaires back recently. Because if you write a book, then you could maybe make a million dollars.

Don't you insult me. I made a million dollars selling my book. At a 37% tax rate. Top market. Yeah, so it's really funny too. I'm kind of stoked on this. The media's collapsed because there's this big upset. Everyone's angry about Substack.

Substack is where writers can charge a fee and write articles. It's really simple. But now you get these high-profile individuals leaving their main outlets and just doing sub-stacks. They're leaving because the main outlets are garbage. And they're being restricted and they don't make money. It's like YouTube. Like, I worked for Vice.

I worked for Fusion. And people are, you know, I loved this. I loved this. There was some, like, New York journalist and they tweeted at me. They tagged me on this. They were like, remember TimCast? Man, whatever happened to him? And then someone's like.

Whatever happened? this was like, this was like a year and a half ago or two years ago. And they were like to go from like this high profile six figure, like, you know, corporate media job to now what? And someone goes like, Oh man,

his Patreon is only bringing a thousand bucks a month. They're like, wow, that's sad. And I'm like, these people know nothing about what's going on. They live in this bubble where working for the machine is like the ideal. And I left and started a YouTube channel, and I was on Joe Rogan and doing really well.

And business was expanding and exploding, and now it's better than ever. And these people just live in that bubble. So now these news outlets are freaking out because Substack has just taken everything away from them. But I'm glad. I'm glad. They're in free fall. Their ratings are collapsing. And I think what's happening is a lot of people like to say that these media companies get

woke and then go broke. They think Vice got woke and then went broke. They think these media companies decided one day we're going to be woke. Oh, no, our money's gone. Some of them went the other way. Some of them were going broke and decided to get woke in desperation. They're like, our ratings are dropping. What do we do? Pander. What can we pander to i don't know progressives at least we'll make we'll maintain

that tumblr what was that tumblr yeah yeah we got like uh there's a story in the new york times i don't i don't think i'll get to i don't think we need to get too much into this one uh look at this new york times uh writes a guide to neo-pronouns. Are you a person, place, or thing? We have good news. We're all persons. Yeah, yeah. Are you a place? Well, hold on.

Are you a thing? I'm a place. So this image there, this is the New York Times, mind you. It's an image. Block the New York Times. Yeah. Pre, prin, prins, and prinself. No, no, no. And go F yourself.

Well, hold on, hold on, hold on. If someone, there are some limitations. If someone came to me and said, refer to me as your majesty or prince, whatever, I'd be like, nah. Would you refer to me as Lord? No. I'm a Scottish Lord.

Yes. I bought 10 foot by 10 foot square of land. I'll use whatever preferred pronoun someone wants. I have no intention to be rude. I'm not interested in upsetting people. I'm not interested. And I don't have the desire to be like, no, there's only biological men and biological women and da, da, da, da. Not interested at all if you have a your own pronoun you're probably an

annoying person anyway so i don't want to hang out with you so if someone came to me and said i actually i met someone at occupy they said you know uh z said refer to me as z zer and i was like i don't care whatever sure i just you know i just i just called by that by their name some of these people also made up their own names and i'm like if you're 25 and you're like, my name is Hamster Friend. I'm like, you sure? I'll call you whatever you want. I'm just like, did I hear you right? All right, you got it, Hamster Bro.

Exactly. I'll call you whatever you want, but I will call you very infrequently if I have to remember. I remember this was funny because it became a thing and some people were like, they were like, I don't know. I've never heard that. Like we're supposed to remember that. And I was like – You ain't going to forget.

No, I was just like – I'm sitting there like my eyes half closed. Like it's like Occupy Wall Street. I'm outside. I'm sleeping outside. I'm like this is the last thing I care about. I was like, dude, I will call you whatever you want. You can call me Susan if it makes you happy. I literally don't care.

This is like the last thing on my mind. The cops are baring their horns right now. I'm going to go get a cheeseburger. It like didn't even occur to me until it started becoming a thing and now the New York Times is writing about it. And it's amazing because they mentioned that like apparently someone a long time ago tried to make it the pronoun for like nondescript individuals, I guess. And they're – look, they're saying like it's a new thing with young people. You have to respect it. Otherwise you're like transphobic and all that stuff.

I'm like, dude, like a young woman who identifies as a woman, but calls herself like, you know, Gord and Gordo and Gordo self. Like that's not anything to do with like transgender anything. No. You know, the idea that there are there is a a significant portion of the trans community that actually does have their own specific pronouns if i understand

correctly the vast majority of the trans community out there just wants to pass they just want to be like if you're a trans woman you just want to be you just want to pass and you want to be called she i totally respect that if you're a trans man you just want to pass and you want to be called she. I totally respect that. If you're a trans man, you just want to pass. You want to be called he. Totally respect that. That's totally fine. Again, I'm not interested in demanding that someone go by the pronouns of what they were born as or what they were assigned at birth or whatever.

I'm not interested in messing up someone's day like that um and so i think that it's really mostly activists and people that are that are looking to or i think it's mostly activists that are looking to make a specific uh personalized pronoun or or something that is is unique or whatever and it's like okay i mean I mean, you can. And again, if you have pronouns that you need me to use, I'll use them. But I'm probably going to be like, this person is a lot of work to be around. Yeah, yeah. I think one of the issues is that there's no way to broach this subject

without being accused of being transphobic because there's actually two different transgender communities or or should say two different trans perspectives on this. There are some prominent trans people who mentioned that they view gender as binary. Hence, they're transitioning between male or female. They'll say there's like degrees in between or something. But for the most part, I think it's like the millennial and older transgender people, some prominent leftists. I'm not going to name them because they've already gotten canceled several times but they've pointed out that uh they believe there's he she and if you want to go by

they that's fine what happened was this particular trans woman got canceled because the younger generation said you're being transphobic for not respecting neo pronouns is it natalie i'm not going to say who i'm not going to i don't to. I don't want to cause a dragging thing where they're like, look at this video, and he called this person and made all these things up. So, you know, he said this about this person, and they go into a brigade. No, I don't want to get involved in that. I just want to point out the difference. Here's what they say at the New York Times.

They say, one card explains neo-pronouns at length. In its facts section, it provides a response used often in the neopronoun community. When talking to people who claim neopronouns aren't real words, yes, literally every word is made up. Neopronouns are real because they carry meaning and are understood by others. That's the problem. They're not. I don't understand half these words. And if you said it to me, I'd be like, I don't know what that is. I don't know what you're trying to tell me. If someone said their pronouns were pre-prin, I'd be like, I don't understand. That doesn't mean anything to me. And like you're saying, part of the usefulness of words is the meaning behind them. So the issue becomes neopronouns just get rid of pronouns in general. Because if Ian tells me his pronouns are pre-pren, and so instead of saying, you know, he said he was mad at himself, I'd say pre-said, pre-was mad at prince-self.

It's harder to understand what I'm saying and think about it and communicate. Maybe that's on purpose. Maybe they're trying to exert power. Maybe they're young people who want to assert themselves in a conversation. But if everyone here gave me a different pronoun, I wouldn't be able to be like, oh, I was talking to Ian. Yeah, pre-said that Prince – he was saying he wanted to go to the mall because he was mad at himself for not buying his second set of shot glasses.

Which is part of the point that I made about I'll say whatever you want me to say for your pronoun, but it is difficult to engage with you if you have your own specific pronouns. Because there's a certain amount of – when you read, you just – you don't sound out the words. You know the word, and so you see the word, you identify it, and you know what it says because you're familiar with the whole word. And our brains work like that when it comes to talking too. We don't have to think about the words we're going to use. You have to think about the idea and maybe how to articulate it, but you're not thinking about how do i say this if you have a new word in your lexicon or if there's a special word for a person you have to really put thought thought into it so it does become an awkward way of speaking it's like telling you you have four names but now now one thing that's happening where

the left is getting angry is people started calling themselves their pronouns are blm and blm self so you'd be you'd be like oh i was talking to i. BLM said that BLM was mad at BLM self for not buying BLM's second whiskey glass set. I get it. And they're doing ACAB and ACAB self. Oh, good. Good. I'm glad. Thank you.

I love it. All right. Well, I'm going to read more. Many people who use neopronons don't just use one set. Thank you. I love it. All right. Well, I'm going to read more. Many people who use neopronouns don't just use one set. They select a handful and show off their collections on websites like Pronouny.xyz, a site that provides usage examples for neopronouns. Users make their own Pronouny pages like this one, which includes Zzemzer, Moon, MoonSelf, Star, StarSelf, BBSelf, and BunBunSelf. Sorry if I have too many pronouns, the page creators wrote. BunSelf is from now on. Call me Bun, MoonSelf, Star, StarSelf, BBSelf, and BunBunSelf. Sorry if I have too many pronouns, the page creators wrote.

BunSelf is from now on, call me Bun, BunSelf. That's mine now. I like it. I do like BunSelf, but basically for rabbits, not for anybody else. Okay, that'd be cute, yeah. Yeah, Bun was telling me Bun wanted more carrots for BunSelf. I love it. BunSelf. That makes sense.

You can use just one set or they them if there are too many. So here's where it gets interesting. I know a lot of people think this is silly. I'm down for respecting people within certain contexts. You know, behind closed doors, we have to make fun of each other.

We don't like, not everybody likes each other, but we try to be good to each other to the best of our abilities. At least I think that's a good thing. You're out in public, you see someone you don't like. You smile and you nod.

Then you go behind closed door and say they smelled like farts. Whatever. So if someone comes up to me and they're like, these are my protons, but you got it. I got no beef, but if I'm not hanging out with you, I'm going to be like, I mean, I think this – here's why I think it becomes a problem. Many states are passing these laws that say your company,

these jobs, have to use your pronouns. That's it. It's in the law. You know what? I'm going to stop. I like this. I'm a fan. You know why?

This is legit culture jamming. This is exploiting the system and pointing out the holes and how they don't work. So in New York, you are entitled at your job or as a customer to have your pronouns, your name respected. It's a civil, it's a human rights law in New York city. If you work at say, you know, Starbucks and you demand to have a certain set of pronouns, they have to use them. Otherwise they're violating your human rights. It's a violation of your gender expression. Okay. So to what limit, if the New York times is straight up saying you can use 50 different pronouns, your manager better start doing it. So I'm like, okay, let's play that game.

I encourage people to adopt pronouns that they feel comfortable with and make something of it, I guess. I get what you're saying, but I think that that eventually and probably very quickly will become detrimental to the to the actual trans community because yeah the more difficult you make it for people to navigate polite society the less interested people will be in being polite they're gonna say well it's just too much of a pain in the dick so pardon pardon my French. And they're just going to be like, you know, screw it. I'm just going to do, you know, whatever. I'm not worried about this person's, you know, blah, blah, blah. And then actual, you know, people that, that have trained, you know, have transitioned that, you know, genuinely do get their feelings hurt if they're misgendered and stuff like that. They're going to be the people that are going to pay the

price. You know? And, and I think that, I think that there is a certain, to a certain degree, there are people that will do things like have their own pronouns, their own personal pronouns for a narcissistic reason, and they're going to hurt actual trans people, and they're going to end up making it bad for people that are actually trans. I've actually mentioned this. I was telling the story about New York. When the story first was breaking, end up making it bad for people that are actually trans. I've actually mentioned this. I was telling the story about New York.

When the story first was breaking, it was like a few months after the law was passed, I started exploring what New York City had said in terms of pronouns. And they said any, any. And so I actually reached out to some friends. I said, I need to find a human rights lawyer, like someone who litigates and actually understands this, and some advocates. And there was a lot of confusion. But I spoke with one lawyer who basically said, if you tried gaming the system and making up some ridiculous pronoun, they would laugh you out of court.

And I was like, so if I went to a restaurant and I used some ridiculous Asian stereotype for me and my family just like offensive words. And they said, I refuse to say these things. You think if I sued, the judge would say, get out of here. You're screwing with us. I think I disagree totally. But well, so this lawyer said, there's a reason why we have laws and we have judges. Judges interpret the law. If the judge sees that you're making a mockery of the law, they will just say, oh, we get it. It's not legitimate complaint. And then I said, so you're saying if I dress in a way that is deemed to be a joke or illegitimate, the judge can just throw me out? And he goes, yes. And I said, so what happens if an actual trans person walks up to a judge and the judge says, you're not a woman and then says, get out of my courtroom, that opens the door for them to actually suppress transgender rights.

And that's when the lawyer was like, well, you know, these things like the general idea from the lawyer was it's true. They could happen. But most of these judges understand the spirit of the law. And I was like, listen, I'm willing to bet there's going to be a conservative judge in one of these jurisdictions. And if you're telling me they have a right to laugh someone out of the courtroom it will be an actual trans person

yeah I guess especially if you're looking at people now who are becoming aggravated by the excessivity of it they become judges in the future 17 year olds now are going to be judges in 20 years I don't know that it's actually

really excessive. I think that things like that story are such a small case. Like, there are such a very few people that would want to be, do you think that it would be more than, do you think that it,

I was just going to, I physically expressed myself while you're talking just so you know I'm going to have a counterpoint. But this is from Tumblr 10 years ago. It's now in the New York Times. It is.

But I still don't think that there's a lot of people that would be using their own personalized – because, I mean, we already talked about the fact that most trans people just want to pass. And they just want to be – they want to live their life as, you know, as a trans woman or as a trans man. That's it. And I think that a very small minority want the specialized, you know, specialized pronouns. And I do think that that is more about narcissism than about actually being transgender. I think that it's more about, I want to be, you know, I want attention. I think you hit the nail on the head with this one, that it's more about I want attention. I think you hit the nail on the head with this one,

that it's ultimately going to be more detrimental for trans people. Yeah, I think it'll hurt trans community. Well, let's jump to the last segment. I was saving the best for last because I'm going to go off on this one. All right. We got this story about the Falcon and the Winter Soldier. You may have seen it. It's a new Disney Plus show, and get well, go broke, baby,

because the last rumor we were covering is that there was this scene in the show. It's the Falcon and the Winter Soldier from the Avengers movies. They're walking down the street and they're arguing. And it's the Falcon's a black dude and the Winter Soldier's a white dude. Some cops pull up out of nowhere and they walk up to Bucky, the white guy. And they're like, is everything OK, sir? And he's like, yeah, it's fine. Is this man giving you trouble? And they're like, what are you talking about? And then Sam is like, what's going on? And the cops're like, is everything okay, sir? And he's like, yeah, it's fine. Is this man giving you trouble? And they're like, what are you talking about? And then Sam is like, what's going on? And the cops are like, sir, sir, calm down. And then Bucky's like, don't you know who this is? And the cops were like, oh man, oops, it was the Avenger. Oh, geez. According to the rumor,

this obvious Black Lives Matter narrative soured a bunch of people who turned the show off and stopped watching. i don't know if that's true or not that's a rumor but apparently we're hearing a lot i'm seeing a lot of posts on twitter from people who are like i just couldn't do it it's so over the top and absurd had nothing to do with the plot at all literally it was like they're like we got to stop these super soldiers man and the cops pull up and they're like hold on there sir we're gonna do a racism it's like we're gonna it had nothing to do with the show right all right well we got a new one for you captain america is incel oh here we go

baby the rap says incel captain america is so perfect we know it's wrong to enjoy the whiny and murderous john walker on the falcon winter soldier but it feels so right i tweeted the wokeness in the Falcon and Winter Soldier is getting too thick to be enjoyable because the latest episode was like, Zemo, who's the bad guy, is like, this lady is a super soldier

and now she will be, oh, spoiler alert. Sorry, I guess. So if you're not ready for this, spoiler alert. Anyway, I'll continue. The anti-hero guy, Zemo, he says,

she will become a supremacist now that she has super soldier serum in her veins or whatever. And it was like the idea was basically that people who gain power crave it and then start believing that they're the only ones who should have power, who can solve the problems. And he's like, the Nazis believed it. The Avengers believe it. And now you've got this rogue group of extremists, globalist leftists who kill innocent people to get their way. The rap says, let me just read some of this for you. John Walker, aka the new Captain America, showed us his true self on the

Falcon and Winter Soldier this week in more ways than one. The new cap has struggled to feel like he belongs in a world full of gods and aliens and super soldiers. And for good reason, he's just a regular soldier. The U.S. government decided to name the new Captain America without consulting. So far as we know, any current MCU heroes, he hasn't been trained to fight these battles. So, of course, he's going to get whooped. And so we have this new Captain America. He's just trash at his job. He's embarrassed and certainly looks like he hasn't been sleeping because of his frustration

at being sidelined by actual heroes. There's an easy remedy to the issue. Partner up with Sam and Bucky and follow their lead. But this toxic masculinity, Captain America can't do that. He's freaking Captain America. He's supposed to be the lead. He can't take orders from these sidekicks, even though they're better than him at everything. Even though they actually fought superhuman folks and worse before.

Even though they have some idea how to operate freely like this. And John Walker doesn't. The show is called the Falcon and Winter Soldier. But this guy thinks it should be the Captain America show. For most of the episode, the new Captain America is a huge clown seething with rage about his numerous inadequacies, like some kind of message board incel wondering when we're finally going to talk about men's rights. And then he gets a hold of the final vial of super soldier serum,

and he puts that stuff in his body and he graduates to Captain Clown. They say way back in the first Avenger, Captain America, the creator of the original serum said that it amplifies everything that is inside. Good becomes great. Bad becomes worse. Steve Rogers was good, becomes great. And it looks like John Walker is the other one. It's kind of a strange arc for John.

He was originally presented as idealistic and excited to help, but he so quickly went from that to being a tool without much of a de-evolution. He just was a good guy, and then he was yelling at the real superheroes for being so good at their jobs that they're making him look bad. But I like where we ended up. I like seeing this trash person angrily beat down bad guys because he hates them so much, and then tarnish the uniform and the shield by beating a guy to death in front of a crowd of people to get revenge for his injured or dead partner. It's disgusting and it felt so incredibly wrong and it was absolutely a thrill to watch. I'd love for blah, blah, blah.

Okay, you get the point. All right, I'm going to thoroughly give this a whooping and a debunking. I'm actually interested to see the next episode of Captain America, I'm going to thoroughly give this a whooping and a debunking. I'm actually interested to see the next episode of Captain America. I'm sorry. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Because you may be thinking to yourself, wow, Tim, this show certainly has gotten woke. And these woke media outlets are certainly pointing out that Captain America is an incel. And I will stop you there.

What we're actually getting, if you actually watch the story, if you listen to the words of the characters, is criticism of critical race theory and the woke left. First and foremost, the bad guys are globalists. They're called the flag smashers. They wear masks. They want there to be no borders, and they're willing to hurt innocent people to get it. That doesn't sound like incels or the far right. Baron Zemo, who is the antihero they break out of prison, he says she is a supremacist. Now that she has this power, you know, basically she's going to think she's the only one. So what ends up happening is the narrative presented by the rap is that Captain America is a regular guy who feels inadequate because these other super soldiers exist.

And these super soldiers are supremacists who they think they're the best. And this Captain America guy in one scene looks at Bucky Barnes and he says, it's so easy for you, isn't it? With that serum coursing through your veins. Then he gets a hold of the serum and takes it and becomes a villain.

And do you know what I see with this? Replace super soldier with white privilege. And you get a guy who doesn't have it, who is jealous of those who do, who will do anything to have it, who looks in the face of Bucky Barnes and says, it's just so easy for you with your white privilege. And then you have these far leftists who believe they're the only ones who can save anything because they have this power, like the white progressives. And it sounds to me like Captain America represents critical race theory, Black Lives Matter, and the woke left, angry at those who have the privilege they want,

and they're willing to do anything to get it because they hate those. They are whiny losers. And it's funny that the rep sees that and says, this guy's an incel. No, he's a guy who was looking at this world of superheroes that he wasn't a part of and angry at them for what they had and wanted it and said, they don't deserve this. I'm the real hero. Sounds to me like he's criticizing white privilege. Would you agree, sir? I see your point of view.

That makes a lot of sense, actually. It's very meta and pretty interesting. I wonder if the writers were actually going for a woke thing because they did that police thing early on. Yeah. But I watched this, and when I first saw Zemo say, oh, she will be a supremacist, then I was like, oh, come on, don't go there.

Are we really going to do this? Are you going to make a thriller about superheroes turn into a beat you over the head with this progressive stuff? And then I actually, you know, watched through it. And now I feel like they're actually critical of the left. It's similar with Black Panther. Black Panther was like

the left loved it. You've seen Black Panther? Yes. So, like, the left was treating it like this great accomplishment, you know, and it was so amazing. But it was actually politically nuanced. It was a nation with a literal wall around its borders refusing immigrants and refugees versus an ethno supremacist who wanted to take over the world and supply a certain race with weapons. And I'm like, that's a nuanced political take.

I dig it. Now we got the Falcon and Winter Soldier and they're literally doing what appears to be a mockery of wokeness. I don't know that – I mean I think your analysis can definitely be – it's reasonable. I don't think the writers are intending that, but I do think that you probably hit the nail on the head or at least you've managed to see something that possibly the writers did not see. I'm not yeah right right so I'm not entirely sure that the writers

thought this all through but is it possible it's projection like so much of what the left and the critical theorists and the woke people do they they project. I want it to be. Yeah, I suppose that it is possible because it does make sense. I imagine they would not be happy to hear that analysis.

Can you sell captain america i you know i mean i'm i'm not a fan of of you know like i i thought wandavision was good and wandavision i understand that they're you know your criticism of it or criticism of wandavision is legitimate it you know she was the bad guy first three episodes of trash yes not even a real show yeah she's torturing people yeah and then she's the good guy yes that sounds a hot oh whatever yeah at this point it's it's it's it sounds like these are these are mini series it's not a it's not gonna be a recurring season or anything so it's over already it may as well have been a movie yeah but it's so amazing that wandavision a lot of people pointed out that it's like a let me stop here and restart and start over

i've i've heard this meme a lot i don't know if it's true they said a male power fantasy is die hard he's climbing stepping in glass got a gun taped to his back and he's going to save the day the guy he's got he's going to fight back and defeat the terrorists and a woman's power fantasy is the romantic comedy where the woman seems to bumble about do everything wrong but the guy ends up falling for her anyway so you look at wandavision and it feels like it fits more of the traditional female archetype that she's angry she's mad at everyone she gets whatever she wants she does whatever she wants she's torturing people and in the end she's still supposed to be the good guy uh well i mean i don't i'm not sure if that is the the female archetype or not, but it does... Probably just an offensive meme.

Probably just an offensive meme. But it does seem like... I mean, I suppose that, again, that is a legitimate way of looking at it. But, I mean, when I said that I liked WandaVision, I suppose that I mean that I found it entertaining. I didn't find it offensive. Because they are characters that I cared about. I cared about Vision and I cared about Wanda Maximoff.

I also think that because the Scarlet Witch is one of the most powerful characters, if not the most powerful character in the Marvel Universe, I think that what happens to her matters certainly far more than what happens to, you know, the incel Captain America that they've come up with. And so the story is more compelling because this is a completely new character that I don't much care for, you know.

And I've only watched, I watched the first episode and I haven't really watched any other episodes of Falcon and Winter Soldier I had intended to or I do intend to but I was going to wait until there were more I gotta be honest I'm kind of bored of it because it feels like it's like it's just too B tier

but the stakes aren't high enough not enough is happening the characters don't matter enough there's not enough high level anything to it i i agree about the the characters don't matter enough like you know vision was a was an integral character in in you know from ultron on you know and same thing with and wanda again being the most powerful character in the Marvel Universe, means the stakes are higher. Well, we'll see if the Get Woke, Go Broke continues because with this article from The Wrap,

whether my analysis is correct or not, a lot of people just view it as getting woke and they're not going to want to watch it. It's preachy. I heard Jeremy on The Quartering talking about people turning it off. And then I think it was... We talked about it as well. Did you talk about Overlord DVD too?

Because I went and listened to his, his video on it. He's like the progenitor of the rumor. So I don't know if that's true or not, but it was like, it was, it was a way to talk about what was going on with the show in general. So,

I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm stoked for Multiverse of Madness. What is Dr. Strange? Yes. And that's going to have Wanda in it as well,

right? Yeah. See, I mean, they're characters you care about i gave up on it man once on what marvel all the marvel crap all the cartoons it's like it's like cartoons for adults like all the cg crap like it's like they they all they tend to have this like invincibility behavior where they're all like there's no fear the characters

aren't afraid so there's no like yeah it doesn't't afraid. So there's no... Yeah, it doesn't feel like this impending danger that you feel with a really good hero that's afraid for their life and fighting for their life. And then in the background of it, there's just all this cartoon stuff going on in the guise of CG explosions that are fake, ships that are fake, lasers that aren't real.

And it's like man i play video games for i want to be interactive if i'm going to be having that sort of cartoon but we did we did get a really important point someone just brought up in the super chat that i just saw there's a scene before the cop pulls up and you and while they're arguing and sam and and winter salt and bucky are walking and some little kid goes yo yo, it's Black Falcon. And he goes, I'm just a falcon. And he's like, you're Black Falcon. He's like, nah.

Like, and that was something, you know, so this is B. Young mentioning, isn't that anti-welcome? Like, I remember that. It didn't get as much play among the, you know, the, you know, commentators.

And it was legit. I'm just falcon. And he is just falcon. Dude, I think Anthony Mackie kills it. And I think falcon's an awesome character. I'm stoked for, you know, I was excited for the show it, and I think Falcon's an awesome character. I'm stoked.

I was excited for the show. I just feel like it's not – He got beat up by a Tic Tac. I mean, that was great. I thought that was awesome. I like the character. He's cool. He's like a military guy who got this experimental suit.

It's legit. I think he could have done – they could have had a better introduction for him or whatever, but I'm stoked. I really like that. When he was like, I'm just the Falcon. That's right. They're making that point. And I'll add something else too because I've been watching a lot of Star Trek The Next Generation. I've seen them all a million times. I'm watching them again.

Today's episode blew my mind. I'm watching it on the BBC. It's like 4pm or whatever. It's the one where Worf's son Alexander comes back from the future to try and teach himself how to be a warrior. And there's a point where they don't know it's his future self. And he's telling

this kid who's like you know 10 years old no one on the federation starship thinks of you as a human because you look like a klingon and he's like and this kid he goes that doesn't matter goes yes it does what you look like does matter and i'm like that's amazing that starts at the next generation way back then was anti-woke, was critical of this idea that being judged based on how you look mattered. And it was like this guy who was wrong was telling the kid, you have to. You have to leave and be with your own kind. And I'm like, they were actually being critical of the racists. And now it's come full circle and they're being critical of the left. I mean, that's what the dream of Dr. King was, where people were respected for their own humanity.

And I heard James Lindsay talking about this, that during the Civil Rights Movement, you didn't see African-Americans walking around talking about their blackness. They were holding signs that said, I am a man. And I remember that. Yeah. You know, it was an appeal to their humanity. It's like, look, I'm a person just like you. And that's I think that that that seeing the individual is the is the important way to view people's not seeing the group that they come from. And I remember that famous quote from Dr. King where he said, I have a dream that one day there will be a black

superhero who isn't called Black Falcon, he's just the Falcon. I remember that one too. He said that in Selma, right? Marvel and Star Wars, they trashed it. We watched Fantasia 2000

a couple nights ago, and the animation was flat. Walt Disney was gone. The magic of Walt Disney, the guy who created that animation style, that flowy movement, is dead. And you can see that in Disney's art. He's gone. He's not there to oversee it

and to say what's crap. Man, that company is just in name only. That's money gone wrong. You think money in politics is bad. Rian Johnson should be put on trial. Yes. We demand reparations for what he did at Star Wars. No, that was a Babylon Bee joke. He should definitely face a trial.

I mean, I'm being generous by giving him a trial, but it should probably be just a quick trial. All right. Let's, uh, let's go to super chats, everybody. If you have not already do us a solid and smash that like button because,

uh, I don't want, I don't want to get into too much, but there's like a bit of weird thing where like, we just getting, we've been like likes have been just going away or whatever. But, uh,

if you do like the show, leave us a like comment below because we appreciate it when you, support the show and, go to Tim cast.com, become a member. We're going to have a great, uh, uh like, comment below, because we appreciate it when you support the show. And go to TimCast.com, become a member. We're going to have a great exclusive members-only segment coming up after. We're going to be talking about a convention of states, right? That's what we're going to talk about. We already thought about it. We've got to do it because Article 5 Convention of States can make the disillusion of the

United States legal if necessary to avoid war, to avoid a death toll. Timcast.com. We'll be talking about that around 11 or so. It should be up. But let's read some super chats. We got Roddy the Rotsky says, Hey, Tim, we know your guest on Friday was a CCP mouthpiece, what with his being a contributor on their state news.

I wanted to at least shout out your work you've done studying China and not just letting him spew propaganda. Well, you know, I always enjoy having people of different opinions. And I certainly had my arguments with what he was saying. I think I did like a four minute rant where I was like, here's what China is doing. Here's why it's bad. Here's what's going to happen to us. We're losing our rights.

Billionaires are becoming deferential to China. Then they're lobbying. They're putting money into lobbying with our own politicians that we vote against our rights i think those conversations are important whether or not they're perfect we're gonna have a lot of people come on the show probably are gonna have bad opinions so yeah it is what it is you had vosh yeah we had vosh and destiny and i respect them for doing it but destiny's opinions aren't nearly as bad as vosh i think destiny's got totally respectable opinions yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. Yeah, Destiny was actually fairly smart. I just disagree.

Well, I should say, Destiny was smart. I don't mean to be disrespectful. I mean, he has interesting arguments. I think he was just lacking information on a lot of things.

And there's a lot of people on the left who simply, we just, we know different things, which shapes our opinions. And then we get into arguments and we're like, wait a minute,

and then there's like a clash and then we're adamant on our stuff. So Destiny, I thought was actually great because he defended Kyle Rittenhouse. Yeah. You know, he was, like, if he can see it, wait a minute, and then there's like a clash, and then we're adamant on our stuff. So Destiny I thought was actually great because he defended Kyle Rittenhouse. Yeah. You know, if he can see it, he's honest, and he assessed it. I respect that.

I think, you know, some people have brought up that Vosh said that lying to get your way sometimes is acceptable. I mean, Vosh is just bad. Hey, look, I'm willing to have, you know, whoever. I mean, there's nothing wrong With having You know People with bad opinions On him

Makes for good YouTube videos You know Oh yeah alright Let's see what we got here Okay Lorraine says Tim do you think This will ever actually stop though The media are like

Charles Manson Not me I just told them to So this is becoming the norm Yup Yeah I don't even understand What she was saying The media is going to keep putting out

these lies and framing things improperly and then acting like they had nothing to do with it like when they say uh you know that the prosecution is winning yeah dude if you've been watching this trial you're probably laughing at how how clownishly bad the prosecution is yeah and it's crazy how slate actually says is the is the defense floundering i was i was i was listening or i was in an exchange today with a with a young lady that was sure that uh chauvin you know was was guilty guilty and blah blah and i'm like the the prosecution hasn't even rested and the defense hasn't even presented their case yet how can can you be sure? And she was just adamant that he was, and I'm like,

let me lay it out. We've only heard from the prosecution so far. They've had about one or two good days. And a good day doesn't mean a great day or a slam dunk day. Even within one of these good days, the defense still got a major slam dunk. When the medical examiner said,

she was asked, if you saw George Floyd in his apartment, you know, and he was dead, and you came in, how would you assess this? It's just a drug overdose. What if he didn't have drugs in his system? Heart failure. Reasonable doubt. What these people don't understand is

the burden is on the state. So if they're looking at it like... She was Canadian. Oh, right, right. If they're looking at this like... She was Canadian. Oh, right, right. If they're looking at this like the state doesn't need to prove he was guilty, they just need to suggest it. No, no, no, no, no, no. They got to prove they had a reasonable doubt.

So the defense was very effective at raising reasonable doubt in almost every single circumstance. Even getting one of the paid expert witnesses to admit Derek Chauvin used less force than authorized, which intent is out the window. That's two and three are gone.

Murder two and three are gone. Because if he was authorized to use a taser and he didn't because he wanted to use lesser force, then murder two requires the intent to murder. Murder three requires the intent to cause harm, which results in death. But he chose to use less force. How are you going to get him on that manslaughter? Maybe, but I still don't think so. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not expert. Legal insurrection disagrees. death but he chose to use less force yeah you're gonna get him on that manslaughter maybe but i still don't think so i'm not i'm not i'm not expert legal insurrection disagrees they say

he might get manslaughter at this point we'll see i i'm not getting how news media can write articles like did tim pool just commit murder by slamming a brick into a guy's head and that can be the title of the article and of course course, in the article, they're like, no. But the title of the article, did this person commit this heinous crime? It'll be like, while Tim Pool was nowhere near the man and never had a brick

and has nothing to do with this story, we're still questioning whether or not his actions could have ultimately... I mean, just because it's a question mark and the word did

doesn't mean that you're not accusing. Like, at some point, you can't just say something illegal in a video game. Free speech, bro.

Apparently. You can ask a question. Look, the in a video game. Free speech, bro. Apparently. You can ask a question. Look, the in a video game thing isn't real. These leftists... Have you seen this? I've seen Hassan do it, yeah. In Minecraft. It's not a legal defense, dude.

It won't work. In a video game, yeah. They don't understand... For those that don't understand understand they'll say something like we should you know commit x crime in a video game no no no no that's not how things work you the the question is whether or not you intended to incite to violence not what you said so there's a there's a bit from the whitest kids you know where he explains he's like my lawyers told me that i can't say and then he says something about the president i also i'm told i can't tell you to

come at this point at 7 p.m and bring with you these things and like he goes through this the point is when you watch that you know it's a comedy show and he's joking and he's not actually intending to incite anything when you watch a political commentator who's routinely said very explicit things and then he says, we should all go and do X. Yeah. In a video game. In a video game. It's like, dude, you think a judge is going to be like, oh, you see that in Minecraft. Should we all go commit X crime on Tuesday at 4 p.m.?

Are you allowed to say stuff like that? No. It depends on whether you're intending to actually incite. So try – like these people don't get this. I love this. When I was younger, they'd be like, we're going to have a kegger. It's – the beer is free. We can't sell beer.

That's illegal. But the cup costs $20. And I'm like, that's called solicitation and the cops still arrest you. Do you think the cops are dumb? They're like, rats, they got us. They're selling cups, not beer. No, they're like, you're selling beer. Shut up.

I love this movie with the, I can't remember what it is. There used to be a store in Western Massachusetts that was an adult video store. And for some reason about zoning or something like that, they couldn't be just an adult video store and for some reason about zoning or something like that they couldn't be just an adult video store so they literally were the cup store and they had 51 of the store was styrofoam cups because it was the cheapest thing and the rest was an adult was adult video i mean obviously this is this is back you know probably 15 20 years maybe 20 years at least it's over 10 years ago because i haven't lived in Massachusetts in over a decade. But they used to have.

There was one. And it was on Riverdale Road in West Springfield, Massachusetts. There's a movie where some dude is trying to buy drugs. And the guy goes, are you a cop? Because you've got to tell me if you are. And he goes, I'm not a cop, dude. And he's like, you've got to tell me. Otherwise, it's a trap.

And he's like, dude, I'm not a cop. And he goes, all right, all right. I'll sell you. And then the guy goes, pulls out his badge. You're under arrest. And he goes's like dude i'm not a cop and he goes all right all right let's you know i'll sell you and then the guy goes pulls out his badge you're under arrest he was you said you weren't a cop and he's like why would i tell you i was would you do not undercover means but people actually believe that that lie if the cop doesn't tell you it's entrapment dude you can't go on a stream say you want to commit a crime and add in a video game if they want to prosecute for it they will they probably don't because they don't take it seriously yeah all right we got i i'll fight you naked says the most dangerous are not bad people

doing evil things beware of demons who think themselves angels embrace the romantic honor in fighting for a hopeless cause i'll fight you naked says that huh that's right that's right joey martinez says hell yeah phil that's right hell yeah, Phil. That's right. Hell yeah. Let's see. What is this? DW says, holy crap. Timcast IRL has visible John Cena on their show.

Is that your title? I don't know. Apparently. That was like Hugh Jackman. Yeah, I can see Hugh Jackman. All right. Let's see. Captain says, Tim, any chance you will accept payment on your website with something other

than PayPal? They are very anti-gun. My friends, the new website actually has, I don't know if it's live yet because we just got it up. We're still fixing dimensions. You do it as you go, but we're going to have Stripe. And I like Stripe. Actually, Stripe's really good. You can send Tim one Bitcoin.

No, no, we can't do that. Oh, you can't? Actually, you can't, yeah. Like, we have a donation thing, but we can't take it for memberships. Really? Yeah. Too bad. It's really complicated.

You could send me one Bitcoin. Well, so we're going to have Stripe. I don't know if it's live yet, but you'll be able to sign up and not use PayPal. Granted, most people need to realize Stripe and PayPal have everything. PayPal has the majority, and Stripe has a little bit. But I'm actually fairly impressed with Stripe, to be completely honest. Doesn't PayPal own Stripe? I don't think so.

I'm going to look that up. But we signed up because a lot of people have said they weren't big fans of PayPal. So we're like, well, we'll add that. I'm impressed with the mechanics of Stripe. Alright, let's see what we got here. Standing While Pooping says,

Phil, what the hell happened to Ollie Herbert? Did his druggie wife kill him? I don't know that I can say that. I can say that 44-year-old men that have no history of drug use and no history of health issues don't just die. They don't. Confirmed, Stripe is not owned by PayPal. Okay, good.

It's the most valuable company in Silicon Valley at $95 billion. Stripe is? Yeah, owned by Patrick and John Collison. Wow. That's awesome. It's the most valuable company in Silicon Valley at $95 billion. Stripes? Yeah, owned by Patrick and John Collison. Wow. That's awesome. It's the most valuable? Yeah, according to this Google search. Wow.

They've got great functionality, I'll say that. Cool. I would like more diversity in terms of competition and everything, but I'm glad there's more than just PayPal. The most valuable private company in Silicon Valley. Oh, so it hasn't gone public yet. Gavin Campbell says, she shat a taser three times. she might have had her gun drawn saying someone tased on how to pull the trigger there's more than one angle also for a super chat that's actually a good point yep she might have been saying taser taser taser because she wanted them to tase and then when

he was reaching she shot him and said holy ass i just shot him and it may have not been an accident it may have been nobody was doing anything and the guy was wanted on a gun charge. It's tragic. It's tragedy, man. This dude, I hate to hear that somebody lost their life simply because they wanted to have a gun, which they're allowed to do. The Constitution said so.

We became a nation that started crapping all over the Constitution. Minnesota, this is what they do, and now a young man's dead. And I'll tell you this. They're going to blame the cops. Okay. Some people are more responsible than others.

But if you're looking for the guilty party, for the people in this blue state, you need to only look in the mirror. You vote for these laws that criminalize the right to bear arms. And there are so many young black men in these cities and places like Minneapolis and in Chicago who are being locked up and having their lives ruined because they want to own a gun. And the Constitution says they can there's there's so much hazard that goes along with circumventing the second amendment um and it's part of the reason why it's part of the reason why people why joe biden says things like no uh amendment is absolute well you know i think that we're pretty absolute about slavery. Like that is pretty absolutely out of the question. Women's right to vote.

Yeah, women's right to vote. I'm pretty sure we're absolute about that. And I'm confident that most people are pretty absolute about the Fourth Amendment when the police are at their house. When they come to your house and say that I want to come in without a warrant, or when they pull you over and say I'm going to take your money without any kind of warrant or anything like that, you'll be pretty absolute about the Fourth Amendment too. The hazard about circumventing amendments is it makes it acceptable to circumvent other amendments.

People need to understand, you live the Fourth Amendment probably more than any other amendment. Yeah. This is true. When the cops, if we didn't have the fourth amendment cops would randomly break into your home randomly they'd come into your neighborhood and they'd they just they'd kick the door and be like sit down and shut up we're looking for somebody and we're checking your house we have

the fourth amendment which means they have to get a warrant signed by a judge so typically they'll knock on your door and you can say, come back with a warrant. And then they'll go, you know, they might say something like, oh, it'll be a lot easier. I said what I said. Come back with a warrant. You know, you can be polite about it. Look, no disrespect. Just please come back with a warrant.

Any kind of anything that circumvents existing amendments makes it more likely that they will circumvent other amendments. So let me ask you something, actually. Red flag laws. We mostly view them as very bad ideas, right? What if there was no gun law except red flag law? So I'll put it this way.

We say that unreasonable search and seizure is not allowed under the fourth. But the cops can get a signed statement from a judge allowing them to enter your home. What if there were no laws infringing gun rights, but they could get a signed statement from a judge taking your gun? Temporarily for a health check or something. If it's a signed statement from a judge, I haven't put a lot of thought to this. So I could probably be swayed either way because I haven't honestly sat down and really mulled over the ramifications.

So it's possible that I'm speaking and my opinion would change. But if there is a judge that signs the warrant that says that they're going to do that, I think that might be okay. That's how red flag laws work. There has to be a judge signed? The judge signs off on... My understanding is, maybe they're different. My understanding is red flag laws is they'll go to the judge and say, here's why we believe this to be true. This person's

a threat. The judge will say, okay, then you can temporarily... I don't like it because some states will have legal recreational marijuana in the federal governments. It's a Schedule 1 narcotic. I'm signing the warrant. Go take his guns. Not only that, one of the big things about red, red flags laws that are bad is the, is the possibility of abuse.

Your family member, you're getting to a fight with your girlfriend or your ex-wife or calls the cops and says, Oh, they did this and blah, blah, blah. So the cops come and take your property. And so I actually just today heard the story of a guy who uh left a bad review for his doctor and called his doctor angry about his pain not being managed after his surgery his doctor went to the judge and made it happen his guns got taken away yeah i i mean the they're they're just so dangerous because especially with in society today where who's so quick to call the police on neighbors and stuff, the lower trust the society is,

the more necessary the state becomes. And as communities get bigger and you have less interaction with people on a personal level, the less trust you will have in your communities and so that means that you will end up with the police being called more frequently i i don't know i i don't know that i have a good answer for your question i was just it's just a thought because the fourth amendment we're like okay well if the judge says so it's okay right yeah well people are like red flag laws nah so yeah i don't know. We got a good super chat here from Kurt Crystal.

He says, Tim, I searched riots on Bing and the top result was Minneapolis and then Kenosha somehow. After that, definitions and encyclopedia listings. All right. Google's out. We're all going Bing. That's Microsoft Bing. Bing.

Bing it is. I'm kidding. DuckDuckGoesButter. If there's a search engine that produce it when you search riot that produces Paramore's record, I will start using that search engine. That's a great record. I love Paramore.

Yeah, you like I thought Riot was pretty good. I think it's a great record. What do you think about Paramore lately? I haven't listened to their stuff recently. I think Hayley

the reason that I found Paramore is I heard Hayley doing an acoustic thing and I was just blown away by her singing. She's phenomenal. Phenomenal. Absolutely great musician.

Yeah. Yeah, I was a big fan of Paramore for a while. The newer stuff is different. I saw an ad. Haley was doing ads on Facebook to do mental health sessions with people. I was like, oh, I never really listened to Paramore. I started listening to their stuff. She's phenomenal.

She had great music back in the day. I guess the style changed for a variety of reasons. People grew up. They were kind of like ska almost. What was it? Like pop punk, you think? To me, yeah, pop punk. It was very Warped Tour. Right, right. Yeah, very Warped Tour.

When I hear Paramore, I think of Warped Tour. You know, I think of Warped Tour. I mean, it's still heavier than Green Day, right? And that's like... It's like no doubt if you were weighted down by chains, then you broke and the weights were no longer there. It was better than Green Day. Well, Green Day stuff was always more bubbly.

At least Paramore had some serious topics that were kind of sometimes dark. Green Day was very family-friendly, happy. I guess teen angst is darker than whatever. All right, let's read more before we get Phil in trouble for making fun of people or something. Oh, I'm good at that myself. All right, let's see. 101 Dumar says, last time Phil was in studio, you didn't know his music and who he was. You have an absolute star in studio.

How did you not know two weeks among many other great songs he has? Explain yourself. I'll be completely honest. I, of course, know who Phil is, but I've never been a big metal fan or, you know, I don't know. I don't know every single person in the world. Genres are a funny thing. I think that someone can be very well known in one genre, and if people don't pay attention to that genre, it's just another face in the crowd. And that makes sense to me because there are tons of musicians out there that are huge in genres that I don't listen to that I'm just like, eh.

I mean, I know who the guys in Air Supply are, but not everybody knows who Air Supply is. I have no idea. Yeah, so I've met throughout my career tons of people. And, oh, oh man i have one funny story i'm not going to name the actress but like i was at a bar back when i worked at vice and my friend introduced me to this very famous actress who i didn't know and i was like so have you been in anything i would have seen and she like named some movies and i was like i hated that movie oh wow apparently she's like one of the biggest celebrities. And I'm like, you know, look, man. My bad.

I was like, I didn't mean to say it. And she was like, well, I hate Vice. And I'm like, all right. I shouldn't have said that. Touche. I wasn't thinking. It was a rude comment. And she's actually in a bunch of really amazing movies that I'm a big fan of.

But she's great. After the show, I want to know who this is. Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. I just, yeah. I've had my share of meeting people who are, you know, I don't know. I treat everybody basically the same, I guess. I got invited to a bunch of like several times now, like Hollywood celebrity parties with like famous mainstream TV show people and movie people. And I'm like, legit, thanks for the offer.

I just got to work, man. So like respect. It's not really my scene. It's not really my scene. It's not really my thing. That's why I was talking about all the people doing selfies and trying to be mainstream, tribal. I'm like, I don't care about that, dude. Let me go in the woods and go to a shooting range or something. I'm on my own business.

I feel that. There's a lot of schmoozing that is supposed to go on in the entertainment industry that myself and people in my band have been very, very bad at. There's a lot of bands that get a lot more attention than their numbers would think they deserve because they're friendly with people in the media or friendly with people in the business side of it. No one in our band lives in LA. Well, our guitar player lives in LA now, but, uh, for the vast majority of our career, we were new Englanders, didn't hang out in New York city.

We weren't in involved in the scene or the business side of it any further than we had to be. And, think that that possibly has been something that would have, if we were more schmoozy, we would have been able to do even more than we've done. And I don't want to downplay what we've done. I mean, not a lot of bands get to be around for 20 years, and we're super fortunate. But it does, you know, there is truth in the idea that you know networking

matters and stuff yeah definitely man all right this is great george hodges says tim if you're looking for black lives matter riots on google you probably have to type in peaceful protest haha and you call yourself an investigative reporter okay that's fair i'm gonna look up protests i bet he's right joss uh joss Mosk says, Steven Crowder's crew found an aggravated robbery charge for the young gentleman

that got shot by the cops. Just something to kind of check out. All right. You know, legit. And that's why I think it's a different circumstance. So this woman was fearful. I mean, look,

the guy had a gun charge and she was worried he had a weapon. I get that. I'm just like, I'd like to see people have the right to keep in bare arms. You know what I mean? That guy's totally right.

If you type protests in Google, Dante Wright shooting Minnesota police. Oh, wow. Mark's protests. Protests gather outside Brooklyn State Police. Amazing. No way. It should have been so obvious to me. I dropped the ball on that one.

Boo. Wow. All my framing. Man. And that was George Hodges. Shut up, George. You nailed it. Boo. Wow. I'm a framing. Man. And that was George Hodges. Shout out, George. You nailed it. I should have.

You know, but it's like a meme. It is, yeah. I didn't think to actually type in peaceful protest. Sometimes it's right there. You just see through it like a screw. You type in peaceful protest, you're going to get Minnesota. Was it you type in peaceful protest? I just type protest.

Oh, okay. That's too funny. Brilliant. All right. Let's find out. Too funny. Brilliant. All right, let's see. Come and take them, says Tim. Myself and two others just finished a feature-length movie with Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy winners and nominees. We'll commit $10,000 to your production and would like to help. Please advise on how to discuss discreetly.

Man, that's always tough. I suppose we need to set up an email for this, but we have spintheufo at Gmail. I'm able to look for that and then cool. Yeah, I want to do short films. I want to do feature lengths, man. Granted, it'll be relatively low budget because you know what bums me out, man? I was talking about this thing on one of my videos today. A lot of these people on Substack, for instance, made like a million bucks from writing their articles.

And they get like 10,000 people to pay 10 bucks. And I'm like, man, why aren't these people doing more? Like, you know, Glenn Greenwald leaves The Intercept. He made The Intercept. Start again, dude. Make a new site. Use those resources to bring more people on. Expand.

Make sure more good journalists start getting able to do that job. Well, I know I'll do it, but if I had some of the money of these big celebrity dudes and these massive podcasts... You mentioned earlier how I think that the fact of the matter is, or part of the

limitation, is that quality people to work with are not as, they're not as, you don't come across them as frequently as you'd like to think, I suppose. You know, it's like if you've got a lot of money to invest,

that's one thing, but you need someone reliable and creative and, you know, with a good work ethic that you can invest in. And it's probably harder to come across than then then we we wish that it was i found you know the best people to work with are the people that truly believe in it and they don't want the money i mean they'll take the money and i force them to take the money but you just got to speak to the soul like armbar forcing yeah i'll put it

behind their back and press until they cry yeah Usually. All right, let's read some more of these. We got Megan Davis says, my guy and I love your show. And a couple of weeks ago, we saw J.P. Sears love at the Sonny. I told him that I heard on a previous cast you discussing his coming on the show. He said he would hope he reaches out. Keep up the good work. I hope he does. Would love to have J.P. Sears.

However, people who host shows, it's like, you know, they've got a full time job. They're hosting their own show and it's harder when you have like a daily schedule or weekly schedule to like stop your production for someone else's show but uh jp sears is always invited and uh we there's a lot of there's a lot of people who do their own shows we'd love to have on but i respect it man you know it's like hey come stop doing your show do mine instead that's That's harder than I can. Come out for a Sunday, JP, and hang out at the house, and then let's do a show Monday. That's a good idea. I like that.

All right, here we go. Tag and Bink was here. Says, did you see that Jason Whitlock got locked for a tweet criticizing the BLM co-founder for buying those houses? Says that he's in Twitter jail because he won't delete it. Mad respect. BLM stands for Buy Large Mansion. Buy Large Mansion.

Yeah. She bought one large mansion. SheM stands for Buy Large Mansion. Buy Large Mansion. Yeah. She bought one large mansion. She says three other regular ones. We didn't even talk about that. The founder of Black Lives Matter. The trained Marxist. A founder bought four houses. Yeah.

Totaling like $2 million. Good for her. Yeah, good for her. It proves they're not Marxists. Checkmate, bigots. Yeah. Snap. There you go.

They can claim to be all they want. Next thing you know, she's going to Airbnb it and then be a landlord too. Oh, snap. There's a really funny article I got to admit where it's like they're talking about this trend of TikTokers talking about they're calling it like rent hacking where they're like, here's how you can live for free. And it's a woman. She's like, I bought a building down payment 5% and then I rented out the first and second floor.

And now I don't pay rent. It's like you're a landlord. That's not. This was rent hacking. That's actually one of the most common ways for people to become, if not wealthy, to save for their retirement and stuff. Yeah, you buy property. You buy a property and you have people rent it and they pay your mortgage and then you get the, you're not paying the principal

and you're also getting the equity in the home. It's like that's how you can build a business or at least make money to save for your retirement. So that way you're not relying on the, you know, $2,000 check from Social Security or whatever. I'll admit I think the system is trash. What system? The system we have in place in general, right? There's people.

I remember when I was buying my first house, it was very difficult. And they were like, oh, your credit history or your bank account or whatever. And I'm like, my rent costs more than the mortgage, dude. I can pay for this. And they're like, well, we don't think so. That's the stupidest thing ever. So there are people who can easily afford a 2K mortgage, right? And they're being told, you can't have this loan even though your rent is $22.50 in New

York City. That's stupid. Give them the loan, man. You know, and the thing, I mean, that speaks to the way that our credit system works. And the fact that, you know, the credit system doesn't just depend on if you pay your bills on time every month.

It really does depend on if they're making money off of you. So it helps your credit to have some money that stays on a credit card. You'll get more points if they're actually, and that money that's on the credit card, the bank is making a profit off the interest they charge you. So it's literally extorting you for,

you're literally paying to have a good credit history. It's not just about if you're paying your bills on time and stuff. Credit system is whack. It is. It really is. So whack. It really is. All right.

Chris Rose, 1986, says, I live in Georgia. No one is wearing masks. They mask the kids. They make the kids wear masks going to school in like Walmart government buildings. The government always F things up

and they will F up the chip. So that is a hard pass. And then we got BigRig says, What happens if you need an MRI while having these microchips? Oops. MRI will rip it out of your flesh, I suppose. Right out, yep. All right, let's see what we got here.

Lance A says, Longtime follower. I discovered a new crypto called Elongate. Elongate? That doesn't sound right. Let's see. A DeFi charity token that has donated $825K within a week. It's partnering with Elon Musk brother soon too.

Going to be the best real world crypto result. Growing fast. Check it out. TimCastCrew. Love you guys. Shill your coin, homie. Shill your coin. Elon tweeted, if there's ever a scandal about me, I hope it's called ElonGate. ElonGate. And then I tweeted, tax the rich and give all about me, I hope it's called ElonGate. ElonGate. And then I tweeted, tax the rich and give all the money to Elon.

I still love him. Yeah, he's great. That's hilarious. Give it all. Oh, what's this? Midnight Smoker says, Jimmy Dore did an interview on the AOC California Highway Patrol incident a few days ago. Interesting.

Jimmy's legit. I tweeted. Mad props. Mad respect for Jimmy. I tweeted out that link to the guy that was. So it was legit. Like a left-wing podcaster. Yeah.

Yeah. Left-wing podcaster, criticizer? Who was it? I don't know his, I don't recognize his name right off the bat. FBI shut up? He made like light comments about her support of Palestine, I think. Yeah. Cops at his door.

Wow. Yeah. Straight up. No joke. AOC is a bad person. Yes. I called her evil. She's Donald Trump. Just with boobies is a bad person. Yes. I called her evil. She's Donald Trump, just with boobies.

She's worse than Trump. Yeah, I think she's worse. I think Trump actually had some convictions. I don't think she does. Yeah, maybe. I think Trump... She might have until she made a six-figure... You know, she got to Washington and was making six figures.

Yeah, yeah. When it was like, listen, you play ball or you're out. She went, okay, I'll play ball. I'd rather look at her than Trump, though. I mean, yeah, that's fair. I don't know, man. Trump, those burgeoning muscles, that glorious golden face. I'll look at a Ben Garrison cartoon of Trump before I look at Trump.

What is that? Hilarious. Well, it's funny because the left would draw Trump as this hunched over, morbidly obese with tiny hands. And Ben Garrison's hips, upright, six foot, whatever. It's super tall and glowing. When the left draws Trump, it's essentially Oswald Copperpot from Batman 2, but without the pointy nose and with a blonde hair.

That's the way the left sees Donald Trump. Pretty much, yeah. Oswald Cobblepot. Cobblepot. Cobblepot. Cobblepot. That's the penguin. Yeah.

All right, let's see. Edge of the South says, Sometimes it's best to keep computers completely offline, especially ones that contain sensitive info or control processes that could cause death or bodily harm if hacked. If the computer is your brain, you definitely should keep it offline. Gotta air gap that brain.

I mean, fair enough, but no. What if you get a brain virus? As in a computer virus in your brain? Well, again, I'm only thinking about it as for an interface. So it's not like it's...

Actually going into your brain to put data in. Yeah. Literally, it's just the... If I understand the concept correctly, they would simply use the electrodes. So output only, basically. Yeah. So that way you can...

So it's not like I'm like... I'm not seeing the information on my eye it would just literally be i would be able to look at my screen or my phone and and output it i guess you could hack the output if so when you think go left it goes right that might that might happen why would it go the other direction if someone wanted like a specific outcome well then it's just the most annoying part. It's just this irritating thing. Yeah, that would. And then it's like I suppose like if they did do that, you're just like son of a bitch and you got to think opposite.

Yeah. Or like no matter what you think, it spells out the same thing over and over again. It's like bad autocorrect. All right. Let's see. Sean Casey FPV says, first time super chat. I've been watching

daily for the last six months. Love your work. I will sub an exclusive membership if you and Phil hold a quick jam session in your exclusive hour. We don't do a full exclusive hour, but if you ever want to jam, man, we could jam. That sounds great. You're the professional career musician, so you probably got

constraints. I mean, I prefer to rehearse before performing, so it'd be something that we'd have to do. I'd come down and hang out and do. Wow, you should do it, man. I don't know. If you guys ever want to come and jam, we want to do Friday night jams again. That'd be sick. Yeah, we're coming up with a plan so that now that it's nicer out, we're going to camera up the skate park outside so that we can actually have a stage set up.

And then we can be like Friday night. Be like, all right, we're switching to the garage cam. Boom. Hit the button. And then it's in the garage. All right. Let's see. Joshua Rusinski.

Fellow former U.S. Marine here. Semper Fi, Phil. Tim, I've been following you for over a year now. You guys put together great content, most importantly. Happy anniversary to my amazing girlfriend, Angie. Love you. Josh. That was awesome.

Dad teaches and words to my son says, can Smeagol say their pronouns? Bunself wants it. Bunself wants it. You have a very good Smeagol. Yeah. It's a really good impression. I got to be honest, man. I hear like everyone always says I do a good impersonation of no matter who I'm doing it of.

That one is good. Who was it? Was it who was like, man, your Michael Moore was so good. Yeah, I was like on point. Malice? I don't remember who he said that. No, it wasn't Malice. I don't even remember how I did the – I was doing a Michael Moore.

I was actually just quoting Michael Moore and then turned it into an impersonation. Jack Murphy maybe? Yeah. Somebody that's sitting here. Yeah. Yeah, I can do some Eagle. Yeah, your Michael Moore is awesome. I don't even remember how I did it.

You've got to do a Freedom Tunes one. You've got to do Michael Moore. If I actually practiced, I could probably on-call very easily do a lot of impersonations. But usually it's when I'm in the flow and talking, and then I'm like, I want to reference something, I'll do it. That's a good one. I was reading that when they mentioned Smeagol. I kind of just like, yeah. It came out.

I think Smeag That's a good one. Like I was reading that when they mentioned Smeagol. I kind of just like came out, I guess. I think Smeagol is actually really easy. It's like one of the easiest impersonations to do. I can almost do it, yeah. Yeah. Let's talk like this.

And then you got to add a little... It's like Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. It's weird. I don't know. You just kind of close your throat while you're talking.

I didn't know that. I don't recall Stitch talking, but I mean, I think I've seen Lilo and Stitch once. Wouldn't he just like... he just like no he talked yeah a little bit yeah he sounded like he sounded like going kevin pilgrim says so sick you got phil on taking me right back to middle school love phil and all that remains sick bro j rich says tonight's topics are display of the left's march to madness. They turn up the heat on COVID, race, gender, etc.

What you laugh about today becomes policy tomorrow. Where do you all draw the line? Or will you stay in the pot until you're slowly cooked? We're in the middle of nowhere. Like in the mountains. I mean, my house in New Hampshire is back in the woods. I've got 48 acres of property, and my house is in the back of the lot. It's not on the road.

You don't accidentally onto my property. And I've got an apartment in Texas that I've been staying in that I'll be there for a while in case of Article 5. I will draw the line with pronouns. If you ask me to call you a pronoun, I might, and that's up to me, because I have the right to free speech. That's a good point. Ives D says, Semper Fi Phil. Tim, when

will we start having barbecues and hangouts at the Gorilla Ranch, a.k.a. your house? Yes. Well, we were calling it Cast Castle passively, but maybe Gorilla Ranch is better. I like that. The Gorilla Ranch. What has Alex Jones done to my house? Alex Jones has done nothing wrong.

Isn't it scary? Isn't it scary how a lot of the things that Alex Jones we thought were silly, crazy Alex Jones rants are like, wait a minute. Why are you making Alex Jones correct? Stop doing that. That's making me feel uncomfortable. When Joe

Rogan was like, dude, we owe that guy an apology. We were talking about the Epstein stuff. His dad was like super secret program guy, so he would grow up at the kitchen table hearing like Navy secrets and stuff. I mean, of course they're going to make him look crazy. Stop making Alex

Jones right. Yes. Please world. All right. We'll do a couple more because we went a little bit over. But we have Eraserhead says, Phil, please, please, please introduce Tim to Andrew Wilco. I've listened to your interviews on the Wilco majority for years, and I would love to hear Tim have a conversation with him. Love you, based Beanie Bros. I'm not familiar with who that is.

Andrew does a show on XM Patri you, based Beanie Bros. I'm not familiar with who that is. Andrew does a show on XM Patriot. He's a friend. He's a conservative. Libertarian-minded conservative. He's definitely more conservative than I am. I mean, I'm very,

very libertarian. I'm open borders libertarian. Generally, if we can end the welfare state, then I would be i'm open borders libertarian generally if we can end the if we can end the welfare state then i would i would be down with open borders okay um and andrew's more conservative than i am but uh yeah he's a great guy he's he's really really nice uh we get along he's into metal he comes out to shows when we play at uh starland ballroom and stuff like that so he's a good dude zeke Weiss says Phil my sister Ray used to work merch for you guys

she was devastated when she found out about Ali's death she saw him and the rest of you as good friends she is doing fine hope the same for the band I hope she's doing well and we were all pretty devastated when we found out about Ali so we'll just do one more here

Matthew Conley says sorry Phil I'm over a disturbed guy with music. Even though their lead singer is libertarian, you're the one spreading their message outside their music. That's right. I mean, it's probably not exactly a great idea because people that strongly disagree tend to have a strong reaction. And the media, the metal media is like the rest and the media the metal media is like the rest of the media oh yeah very very some of the

most influential blogs are dudes with sickles and hammers in their names that seems so weird to me it is weird but yeah so I take a lot of heat in the metal blogs because of it because of my you know i'm a principled libertarian that generally a principled libertarian that it

is not afraid to say look people should be free the government's too big dropping bombs on poor people in other countries is bad and for some reason i thought that these wouldn't be all that controversial of takes, but apparently they are, you know. It's weird, weird times, man. It is. And don't forget to add Second Amendment. Yeah, you know, I mean, Moulin Lévé, you know, right on my arm. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you
