Timcast IRL - Timcast IRL #305 - Creepy Firms Push Great Reset, Houses Bought OVER Cost w/Posobiec and FreedomToons

Episode Date: June 10, 2021

Tim, Ian, and Lydia host a rowdy evening with Jack Posobiec of Human Events AND Seamus Coughlin of FreedomToons in which they break down the massive buy-out of American homes by shady corporations, the concerns of the Australian Prime Minister regarding Chinese actions, a propaganda piece trying to say that Millennials don't even WANT to own their own homes (but perhaps they'd like some nice pods to live in?), Bill Maher's prediction about what would break the country apart, the collusion between Facebook and Fauci, and how gun control actively makes people less safe by negatively affecting police training and equipment.

There's this big story that's been going around for a little bit. People have been talking about it for some weeks. It's that houses are becoming impossible to buy. But there's something strange about the story. And without getting a bit too conspiratorial, one fact is that pension funds and Wall Street and big investment firms with international interests are buying up houses at massive amounts above cost. Somebody will say, hey, I'm going to sell my house for $200,000 and they'll be like, we'll give you $250,000. Pricing out any middle class person from the market,

houses, it's a very direct and simple way that middle class people transfer wealth to their kids. You buy a house, you get old, you die, your kids inherit that house. Now it's going to be the middle class are permanent renters because all of these big firms are buying up houses like crazy. And maybe there's just maybe it's a good money making opportunity for these Federal Reserve backed institutions. But at the same time, we're getting these stories where they're saying millennials regret buying their houses and middle class people don't want to buy houses anymore. And I'm like, why is why are there all these articles coming out claiming people don't want to own houses? At the same time, the biggest investment firms are buying houses.

That just seems kind of odd to me. At the very least, it's going to result in middle class people not owning property, not owning wealth, squandering what little wealth they have inadvertently, and massive Wall Street companies or whatever owning everything. Some people are saying outright, this is just part of the Great Reset. You will own nothing and you will be happy. Ten years from now, 20 years from now, the next generation, they won't have things. There's a lot to go through.

We'll break this down. There's a bunch of other stories. There's apparently a story come out saying they weren't even selling bats at the Wuhan wet market. Anthony Fauci says, I am science, and got really mad on TV. So joining us today is we've got Jack Posobiec. Hey, hey, Jack Posobiec, senior editor of Human Events. Welcome back, author of the new book, Antifa Stories Inside the Black Black. Go to antifabook.com, check it out. Filling in for Jack Murphy.

I know a lot of people were expecting another Jack this evening. Jack couldn't be here today and asked me to cover for him as the official Wednesday Jack. Yeah, but you got to do it in the official anchor like, Jack Murphy has the night off, I will be filling in. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, Jack Murphy has the night off. I will be playing the role of Jack Murphy, though with a slightly less conspicuous beard. We got Seamus.

Got Seamus over here. We don't have the Illinois boys tonight, unfortunately, but I'm happy to sit here with the other Jack. And we will be pouring out an old style for our fallen brother. An old style? That's right. Ian's chilling with the electroplasma ball. Someone asked in the chat, ask and you shall receive.

There you go. Like, why isn't Ian sitting at the plasma ball? Electricity. So they said that in the chat before they could see Ian. We're talking about collective memory. Is this room bugged? Something is bugging. No, no, they were asking that he do it. They were like, can we have Ian sit by the plasma ball?

It makes him look cool. He was already here. We were like, I'm not doing it because you asked, dude. Because I want to. They're watching. We got Lydia. I am also here in the corner pushing buttons for these guys. I request that they not argue with each other too much, but we'll see what happens.

Can we argue with you? Yeah, sure you can. Yeah, I welcome that. We definitely will. We'll just argue with a straw man of the left. We'll pretend like there's a leftist there. We'll give only the worst arguments man of the left. We'll pretend like there's a leftist parent. We'll give only the worst arguments possible. I'll be the straw man.

How about Ian? Just say the worst leftist talking point so we can pretend like we're all smart. I want to help everyone. I got to add, our internet got struck by lightning. And we, I guess one of the boxes downstairs, one of our network boxes got fried by it. So we're I guess one of the boxes downstairs, like one of our network boxes, got fried by it.

So we're, you know, I think it's working. I don't know. If the internet cuts out. I was watching Loki earlier. The internet just shut off, and I was so mad. It's like, I'm in the middle of watching Loki, man! So that wasn't like Thor doing like a whole like, what was it? He's like, I don't want you watching this!

It's propaganda. Never again. Well, let's get serious. Before we get started, head over to TimCast.com. Become a member by clicking that big old members only button. And then you will get access to the exclusive members only area. I can only assume that tonight's members only exclusive will be a hoot. Because we got Jack, Seamus, me, Ian, Lydia.

Everybody's here. So it'll be a loud and raucous conversation, I suppose, talking about the things that YouTube typically doesn't want us to talk about. And when you become a member, you don't just get these amazing segments, which you don't want to miss. You're actually helping fund the expansion of our mission. So we've got a newsroom launching hopefully in the next week or two. I don't have an exact date yet.

It's going to be particularly rudimentary to start, but we're going to start bringing on journalists immediately and expanding and expanding and expanding. And then we're going to have our own news operation, fact-checking these lying, fake news journalists and putting out the real news. And it's going to be very, very precise and academic. And we are going to have one of the most rigorous fact-checking operations. We're actually trying to get another... So we're going to hire fact checkers. Then we're going to hire a fact checker to fact check us and have them somewhere like 20 miles away. So they never interact with anyone here. Then they read the articles, go through them. And we do that to try and filter framing properly. So if everyone's hanging out and talking about everything and

they're like, that's Joe Biden admitting he's a liar. Then someone 20 miles away doesn't talk to us. Here's and says, I don't think he's saying he's a liar a liar i think he's saying this and then we can also try and make sure we're doing proper framing and stuff so become a member let's talk about this tweet from jack posobic this guy jack posobic antifa book.com he's got he's got some nerve he said this should be this should be illegal in all 50 states and punishable by federal prison time. What was he referring to? It's a Twitter thread where cultural husbandry notes BlackRock is buying every single family house they can find, paying 20 to 50 percent above asking price and outbidding normal homebuyers. Why are corporations, pension funds and property investments groups buying entire neighborhoods?

Well, he goes on to say it's basically the Great Reset. The middle class uses homeownership, land ownership to transfer wealth to their children. But what happens when during a Great Reset, I'm sorry, during a pandemic, there's a Great Reset, as it were, of people's jobs, of businesses. Everybody gets knocked out of the playing field, sort of levels a lot of people out. Their businesses are closed. Family businesses, these are some of the most horrifying stories. Companies that have been around for like 100 years gone overnight. Now these people are going to become renters. Many moved.

They want to buy houses. It's not that hard to buy a house. People think it is. But all of a sudden, you find this hat. You're on Zillow.com and you're flicking and you're like, man, this is so cool. Look at this house. And then you call the agent and he says, oof, just sold for 50K above asking. You're like, how am I supposed

to compete with that as a regular person? How are millennials supposed to build wealth when these companies are coming in and buying a ball's property? Yeah, I mean, they're not. I wish that Jack Fala were here so we could have a conversation with him on his perspective on the matter. But I think that what is happening is terrible. I'm generally a fan of the free market, but part of why this was possible was because the government came down and they shut down the entire economy for months. And then they also printed a bunch of money inflating the dollar. And so for your average person, given the savings they had prior, it's going to be much more difficult for them to afford a house. And these massive companies are going to be able to.

So it's a consolidation of wealth. The likes of which I predicted would occur as a result of this ballot and as a result of the shutdown, and it has. And the fact is, people who don't own property are much easier to control. And check this out. You can't even build a house now.

So this was reported back in April. It's about 40 grand more to build a house today because of the skyrocketing lumber and steel prices, which have only gone higher. So imagine this. It's July of last year. You got a few thousand dollars in savings, and you're like, I got enough to put down on buying a house.

Not anymore, you don't. Maybe you were like, okay, I saved up enough to actually get a loan for a new construction. Not anymore, you don't. That new contract is way too expensive. So what happens? Not only that, not only has it become harder because of inflation and skyrocketing materials prices, you finally are like, well, I have enough. I've saved enough.

I've overcome these challenges. And then, sorry, BlackRock outbid you by 25%. Yeah. And, you know, going off what Shane was saying. So Jack is here. And it turns out the guy is here. Yeah. You're absolutely right though this was a situation where the government

said and you see fannie mae deciding to want to do this to say look all of these people went underwater in their you know they we called it remember the toxic subprime loans and the mortgages and people were buying houses they couldn't afford etc etc okay we know how that started we know who the people who are responsible for it but we live in this strange system where the same people who are called upon to fix it are actually the ones who created the problem in the first place. Isn't that how it goes? So who do they turn to? Oh, you know, themselves. Who could solve this problem?

We can. We'll buy it ourselves. And the one that he actually doesn't mention in the thread, but I would throw out there that it's and it's just absolutely huge. And you see so many wealthy Chinese families coming in, Chinese elites, CCP elites that know that their money is if it's in a Chinese bank and you run afoul of the party, if you become the new persona non grata, right, Xi Jinping or whoever it is in the Politburo can retread and snag that from you. They're using it as tax havens. They're using it as tax shelters. They're getting out of it.

And they know, by the way, that the market is just super hot right now. So it actually is, in a financial sense, a very fantastic investment. But it's the financialization of what is supposed to be and has traditionally been this wealth ownership, this wealth generation for middle class, for working class families that now is being completely turned into the next commodities market. You don't have landlords anymore. You've got some guy who's owning it on Wall Street. They've set up like a front company to manage the whole thing. So it's not like one guy, oh, I flipped a couple of houses and now I've got like 10.

I had a cousin who had 10 houses in the Indianianapolis area so he's he's running it himself basically maybe has a couple people working for him but it's not that anymore yeah doesn't you know call centers and and and you know mechanics that are all aren't there a bunch of chinese like you mentioned chinese wealthy people but isn't like large swaths of land in the west just like open acreage bought by wealthy Chinese families. And farmland, too. Yeah, farmland. Yeah, absolutely. And this is a ton of stuff that they're putting in because people need to understand that

when you say CCP in China, people have this tendency, and it makes sense, that you want to put that into an American perspective, right? We categorize things by trying to put into boxes that are familiar to us. But there isn't anything like the CCP in the United States because it's, well, they say, well, you know, their government stops here and their business starts there. So that's the separation. No, there is no separation. There's no real separation.

And these aren't necessarily sort of like nefarious plots, right? This is just a general strategy that they're employing. They say they realize that if they own this farmland, then they can control U.S. output. They can get better consumption for Chinese goods. Obviously, their consumption of this is going to be much more than us. They know that in many cases when they were fighting back against these tariffs that President Trump was was employing when he first got in. Joe Biden, by the way, has kept a lot of these tariffs in place because they are widely popular. They're extremely popular.

And they know, though, that the farmers of the U.S. are doing a lot of sales on the international market. A lot of that ends up in China. They can kind of set the prices on this. But they realize, hey, if we own the land, then we can just control the farms directly. Do you know who the largest private farmland owners in the United States is? This is the one where it's Bill Gates. It's Bill Gates. Bill Gates is the largest private farmland owner in the U.S.

Good for him. Rolling the sleeves up. I'm glad something good finally happened for that guy. Hold on. Sorry. There's more. The Gates's aren't the only one percenters with dirt in their portfolios of the last decade farmland has taken off as an asset class finance speak for a type of investment that wall street salespeople urge wealthy people to

include in their well-balanced portfolios the basic pitch buy land they aren't making it anymore so it's not just bill gates i mean there's a lot of conspiracies about why he's doing it i think he just wants to own land. I think owning land is a really smart investment. That's what they say to people. Buy land. The point is the billionaires are buying it up. They're also buying up Bitcoin.

I don't think they expect to lose money on these things. But when working class people, middle class people can't buy these things, they can buy Bitcoin. I'm not saying they should. You know, don't get advice from me. But if they can't buy land, then what can they transfer to their to their kids what will they own a desire for land this is what's scary and sort of um i want to jump back to part of the discussion on real estate but i will say this as well i know that earlier this year china was buying so much they were buying up so many of the corn futures or so much corn futures that they ended up pushing the market to an eight-year high. So they seem to be very interested in this. I know also that with these massive companies

purchasing real estate, part of what frightens me about that, I mentioned this earlier when I said that people who don't own property are easier to control, is that we have seen payment processors and credit card companies in the past decline service to people who they disagree with politically or who are very controversial. Who's to say that these massive companies don't get woke take a stand and say we're not going to rent to bigots wow it's almost like bitcoin solves a lot of them if regarding the chinese uh purchase of land so if if a chinese citizen bought land the ccp could seize that land from that chinese person because they're chinese citizen is that right not easily right but they could they you know they could but it more likely than not seize that land from that Chinese person because they're a Chinese citizen? Is that right? Not easily, right?

But they could. They could, but more likely than not, it would be some kind of arbitration. Let's say they were in jail or something. If it's American land, they would have to do it through the person, right? The Chinese government is not going to come to the United States government and be like, that legal document that says that person owns it, we own it now. They're going to be like, get out of here. But they could station Chinese troops on that piece of land.

If a Chinese citizen buys a piece of land in the United States, does the United States still own the land? How does that work? Who owns that property? The United States still has sovereignty. You can't collect the property tax from that person. China can't put troops there. They can't do that. What about police?

What about private police? They can put spies surreptitiously, but that's your private security. That's probably the far. Yes, private security. They could hire and station private security in Chinese. And those private security have to operate under U.S. laws with proper U.S. probation. Yeah, right.

Until the war breaks out. They can do the things you would do on your property, basically. Before the war breaks out, the U.S. military goes in and sweeps it out. Yeah, but how much land do they own? That's my concern. If they're buying up. If war breaks out, they don't own any land. That's the best part.

All of the debt that China holds in the U.S. If right now, just like, you know, Joe Biden sitting there and he just like he's like falling asleep. And he was like, oh, I declare war on China. Oh, what happened? Our debt's gone. There's no debt when you're at war. Imagine being like, imagine some guy being like, you owe me 100 bucks. And then he and then punching him in the face.

I don't owe you nothing. You don't owe him anything anymore. You're fighting now. My concern is if they buy up thousands of farms and then station private security all over the place, Chinese private security, and then that's just an insurgent. It sure sounds like an insurgency. The goal is financial trap, right? Is there an impossible to get away from war with China that we are hurtling towards? Is this inevitable?

Is this something that cannot be stopped? And the way I look at it is I think something more like the great reset is, is more like what's inevitable because China doesn't want to go to war with us. We're their biggest customer, right? They want us to be in that consumer mode. They want us to be in that constant state of, right. Like you said, not, not owning property, not worrying about, you know, trying to generate wealth of our own own as long as it's enough where we're purchasing their goods. We're not causing any problems. We're not getting involved too much with the real, you know, the actual realities on the ground as the way things, you know, are in China, you know, don't worry about those Uyghurs,

you know, don't worry about those people in Hong Kong. Don't worry about the freedom fighters that are, you know, constantly being detained throughout China. We just saw this huge protest in Nanjing University, right? Nanjing Normal University, which might seem kind of insignificant as a university protest, whatever. You know, we have those in the U.S. what, like every five minutes. In China, that's a big deal. In China, that's quite a big deal. There are workers protests in China and the provinces on a fairly regular basis, but they're just not heard about

in U.S. media. They don't have social media access. We don't know about it a lot, but it's a constant thing. And in the mid-2000s, this is going on a lot. But for students to protest like that, I mean, you know, and obviously we're in very close proximity to the anniversary of Tiananmen Square and nowhere near on that scale, right? Because Tiananmen wasn't even just Beijing. It was all over the country. But to see any Chinese students at, you know, kids in their 20s, basically, standing up against the government, because essentially, I don't know the story.

The idea was they had been going to what were considered private universities, but the Ministry of Education had come in and said, yeah, you're not going to be private universities anymore. We're going to consolidate you down. We're going to consider you these to be vocational tech schools at this point. So it's basically kind of like, imagine if you had spent all the money to go to a private university and then the government comes in and says, yeah, that's a community college now.

So your degree is worth, it was worth here and now it's worth here. And in China, that's still a huge huge deal so the kids go nuts they go absolutely nuts and the police came in and were just completely brutal with them but the difference is this went super viral all across chinese media what the recently so last week oh yeah and they like locked the city down didn't they uh yeah the whole city got put under lockdown um it was multiple campuses where this thing broke out. At one point, the Chinese government came out and the CCP saying, oh, well, they took the dean hostage. Right. And so that's why we had to go in.

Right. And I was and I don't. Yeah. You wonder if they were actually taking kind of like a Black Lives Matter sort of take on things. But then the kids posted pictures of the guy and he had he had like a box of chicken and a soda. He said, no, he came and sat down with us. And you could see like other kids sitting around with them. And so, yeah, I know what you're saying. Evergreen. It's kind of hard to tell, but it didn't look like a hostage. I mean, at Evergreen College, they definitely locked the administrators and they're like, we didn't hold anybody hostage.

Like they weren't free to leave, though. But so in terms of we're talking about the potential for potential for war with China, we have the story from Yahoo. So much at stake. PM's chilling warning on conflict with China. Prime Minister Scott Morrison, he will call on the world leaders to stand in unison against the growing threat of China. On Wednesday, he will deliver a major foreign policy speech ahead of a trip to the United Kingdom, where he'll be a guest at a meeting of the world economic powers, including the U.S., Germany and France. Bro, it sounds like war with China is seriously on the horizon.

It's not just this, not just Australia being like, yo, it's happening. I mean, obviously, China came back and they're like, ah, that's rubbish. There's no war. The U.S. just dispatched its Pacific fleet across the Pacific in anticipation of Chinese rocket attacks. Well, right. So the U.S. has their air fleet in two different bases. One in Japan, I think in Okinawa. I could be wrong. And one in Guam.

And there was concern that... You're talking about the aircraft or the Navy? It's the Air Force. It's the Air Force, yes. So they were worried that these Chinese rockets would just wipe out these bases instantly. They have no time to scramble. It wouldn't just be the bases.

It would be the entire island. I mean, I've gone through those scenarios when I was in the Navy. And, I mean, it basically comes down to, like, at what time would they be destroying what facility, right? Okinawa is right there. It's right there. But so what the U.S. has done is they've dispatched the fleet around the Pacific. So now there's, like, some bombs here, some planes there. And they straight up said, oh, it's so, you know, in anticipation of war with China, we will not be vulnerable to these attacks.

We're seeing that. We're all seeing the Pentagon is buying up weapons specifically for naval and Pacific and Pacific warfare, as opposed to Middle Eastern warfare like drone strikes and things like that. Seems like the city's trap is a given and they recognize it. Maybe the economic stuff was an attempt to stop it. Maybe this like NBA stuff was like the more business we build up, the less likely there will be a war and war is bad. Sounds like war is going to happen. Yeah.

So I put it this way that is there a near peer competitor that would be at the most when I say that i mean another state actor which would have a comparable military to the united states that the u.s could potentially get a word number one definitely be china 100 right the reason that i'm still you know i'd bet against it it's like i'd put it 60 40 right now is is because they're just making so much money off of us right they're constantly making money off of us they're making even more money now after the pandemic which they certainly played to to their own. I'm not one of those people who thinks the pandemic was a deliberate plot or anything like that by them. But I think it's

something that once it hit, they realized how to spend everything in their favor, financially speaking. They're positioning themselves to be the major beneficiaries of the Great Reset. They're still in bed with all of our elites, with all the Western elites, and by and large have been financed and built up by Western elites. They're winning the war. So here's, right, they're essentially winning. So why would they, you know, why go hot, right?

Why shoot? And the only thing that I think that could potentially lead to that is if you see the actual party from the inside be threatened, if you see Xi Jinping feel that his rule is threatened, if you see him potentially weakened by rivals, then does he make a play for Taiwan? Maybe there's a bunch of protests breaking out across the country, which could threaten to destabilize the social order.

This is why I keep an eye on it. Yeah. Well, so you were mentioning this a moment ago in the earlier segment, but just a minute ago, that these massive protests were breaking out all across China. I mean, is that something you think could make the Chinese Communist Party fear their control over the country? Potentially, but that's going to lead to internal crackdowns. That wouldn't be something that they would want to do,

some kind of external, big, wag like wag the dog type approach to anything. And, you know, Xi Jinping is starting to now get credit for essentially not, you know, I wouldn't say the return of Hong Kong, but just the control of Hong Kong. Right. They they view this as a huge win. And if you look at those, the 6-4 anniversary. So the anniversary of Tianananmen square is june 4th and if you look at those images out of victoria park in hong kong downtown hong kong this has always been the spot where since 1989 the people of hong kong particularly young uh young people particularly students would go out every single june 4th night and hold a candlelight vigil there and in victoria

park and so there's these montage photos people put up on the internet where it shows that it's this huge thing and it's every year. And it sort of became this sort of hybrid dual meaning where it's in commemoration of Tiananmen Square, but it's also that, hey, we know you don't want us doing this after 1997, the handover, that, okay, we're part of Chinese sovereignty now

under Beijing, but we are still going to do this because we are Hong Kong and we are free. Last year, it was incredibly diminished crowd. All of a sudden you see this like this huge park, but it's only maybe like 50 percent capacity. And then this last year, it's empty. It's you are you are going to see a lot of people. And I think you are in the United States moving from libertarian to authoritarian very, very quickly.

With the Nickelodeon thing where the drag queen dancer is showing the red salute, the communist fist, and telling the kids, this is a good thing, look at this. And they're like flashing on the screen. And just a lot of what's happening in this country, it's hyperpolarization, right? So on my main channel. Anything with kids. anything involving kids, you are tripping those. That's a primal red line, right? That's biological, spiritual, everything.

Yeah, the story of the dad and the mom in Texas fighting over custody of the kid who was, the mom said it was trans, the dad said it wasn't. I mean, these are serious issues. I covered vaccine segregation on my main channel today because Democrats are increasingly pushing what is covered vaccine segregation on my main channel today because Democrats are increasingly pushing what they what is called vaccine segregation. So there's going to be a grand reopening of New York City where 70 percent of the tickets will go to people who are vaccinated

and then 30 percent to people who are unvaccinated will go to special segregated areas. Madison Square Garden is doing an event where you have to be fully vaccinated. So you have to have your two full doses. It has to be a few weeks after or whatever. Then you can get in. Whereas red states are doing the exact opposite. So I bring this up just to tie it into what we're talking about with China and the expansion and possible war.

China is extremely authoritarian. The authoritarian nature is allowing them just iron fist control of Hong Kong, right? No more protests. The U.S. is being rocked and shattered by protest. So I think what's going to happen is you're going to see a lot of people who are just, I mean, I've already heard the conversations where they're like, well, freedom is for peacetime. You know, libertarianism, liberty is for peacetime.

When you're in a time of war, that's when the rules go out the window. You've got the potential for war with China. And this is what a lot of people are saying. Because we're such a free-spirited country that allows a lot of liberty, it allows the rise of subversive groups who would weaken us at a time when we're facing potential war. China's not doing that. If China goes to war, their country is locked down and everyone falls in line. If the U.S. goes to war, we're going to – Well, and there's also a huge dichotomy there as well.

You talked to – we talked to. Well, there's also a huge dichotomy there as well. You talk to you know, we talked about millennials earlier. Right. I don't know how many millennial. I'd love to actually pull up the millennial homeownership numbers. Well, we all know it's terrible. We all know it's really bottomed out. But how many of how many millennial homeowners are flying, you know, American flags in front of their houses? Right. And, you know, it's going to be, I don't know if there's any studies on this, but my guess is that it would be quite a lot less than their parents, right? In China, it's the exact opposite. The generation that you are seeing come up now in China

are 10 times more hyper-nationalistic than any that has preceded them potentially since the communist, you know, the communist cultural revolution of the 1960s. Was there like a noticeable change in the chinese population after tiananmen square and because maybe you can explain a little bit about i mean how many people died the it would be after the the great um the one child policies when you see the noticeable shift it's like a plateau just drops off i part part of me just would love to see a simulation of what these leftists would experience should china win the economic war and any potential hot conflict. Can we send them there?

Yeah. It's not. But they wouldn't live. Every Biden's law can just go right over. And for those that aren't familiar, it means white left. It's their word for SJW. If the US loses this economic conflict, this trade war, the economic war, or even the Cold War or the hot war, whatever it becomes, they're not going to live anywhere near as good as the people of China will live. So we can say like, oh, we'll send them to China. Well, I mean Chinese cities, they have political problems.

There's authoritarianism, but the people still live in city conditions. If we go to war and we lose that war, it's like then you live at the whims of your – Oh, I see what you're saying, right. Yeah, they're going to be living like POWs. They're going to be living – Right, so your ability to protest, that's gone out the window, right? Your blog, your social media accounts, your Tumblrs, whatever it is where you're going. The reason I mention Tumblrs is because that's – it's like oversharing, right?

It's overfree. It's who can say the most taboo thing, who can push the most buttons. That's gone. That's gone overnight. Jack, you're going to start to make people support the CCP here. Be careful. They're going to have these, I love it,

there's this meme where these leftists are like. Well, I'll tell you what they think about Christianity next. No, yeah. There's this meme where the leftists, like the Bernie people, are like, we should put the 1% in gulags, make them break rocks for a few months so they know what hard work is like. It's like, bro, you guys don't do hard work at all. Like, I think if what they don't realize is that the things they're advocating for would put them in gulags, breaking rocks so they can learn the value of hard work. They're not going to go to the guy who's like a working at a steel mill.

They're not going to go to the guy who's a construction worker. They're just going to keep working and they're going to be like okay they're going to go to the intelligentsia the college academic kids these activists and they're going to be they're the problem when whenever these takeovers happen they immediately try and purge the intelligent intelligentsia who made the revolution 100 yeah those people are dangerous they're subversive right right there's a reason that we don't talk about the mensheviks anymore yeah yeah everyone knows what happens to the Mensheviks. So but ultimately, I bring this up because it's like if war is inevitable, our greatest weakness is our internal conflict. I mean, there are already people who have been super chatting us saying things like they think China, it's China's plan to promote this, these leftist anti-American ideas.

Sure. To teach anti-American history lessons, to claim the country is awful. What happens then if there's complete demoralization? And then a Chinese boat crashes on the shores of Santa Monica and a bunch of soldiers walk out, and they're like, we're here to liberate you

from the oppressive, racist white people. This is Paul Wolfowitz, right? We'll be greeted as liberators. Exactly. Well, here's the thing, though. And we sort of talked about this the other day. They're here to welcome us to the US. The people

who would bow to the Chinese government aren't really the people who would have been much of a threat had they put up a fight anyway. And there is a gun behind every blade of grass. What's the name of the Chinese army? The Red Army? No, no. The official name. What is it?

The People's Liberation Army. See, they've already thought of this. They've already thought this through. But if we get to the point where, you know, we're all racing our embassies, fly the flags of Black Lives Matter, we're seeing Children's Show, fly the Red Salute. The CCP members perform the Red Salute when they're, you know, being brought into the party or whatever.

Oh, yeah. They're going to come here and be like, no, agree with you we're the same they're going to be like they're going to have the flags with the fist on it and then the leftists are going to be like oh this is a good thing and they're going to say we're here to liberate you from the evil white supremacists and you're going to have a lot of people being like awesome and then the chinese communist party will go through every piece of social media you've ever posted, including all the people that they think are on their side. Look at all their if there's one thing that got said out. Well, it's not even that.

It's not even that. They look they look at it and say who's useful and who's not. Yeah. Right. If you're if you're of no use to us, if you if you can't be put to work, if you can't if you're not in STEM fields or producing something of value, if you're not an actual worker, then you just get out of here. You're done. Go sit and be, you know, go assume your consumption bubble, sit in your pod, eat your bugs. Right.

You know, that's that's you. That's your job. Well, so this goes back to the conversation we were talking about before. Let me pull up the story I find very, very strange. And it's about the pods, basically from from Business Insider. Most millennial homeowners regret buying their home, survey finds. That just reeks of me of propaganda. Yeah, I want to see how those numbers break down.

You don't want to own your own home where you're paying less than you would for rent and you're keeping all the equity except for the interest. No, no, no. You don't want to do that. It's a terrible thing. Does it say why? Does it say millennials want to move around more or is does even give any they say 20 said uh expensive maintenance costs and 13 said it was because they overpaid and i look at that and i'm like this article to me reeks of live in the pod we've already got all the eat the bugs articles the cicadas by the way the cicadas are getting smaller so i went outside today and that's because the big ones are getting eaten. Well, no, no, no. I think it's because the big ones, the strong ones, came out earlier and then died.

And what's happening now is the weaker ones have been slow to emerge and they're much smaller. So we're close to the end of the cicada swarm. But the media has been saying, eat the bugs. Like crazy. Even Tucker Carlson is like, I'm going to eat a bug live on TV. It's delicious. Tucker ate a bug. Tucker ate a cicada pastry on TV. The elite wants you to eat a bug live on TV. It's delicious. Tucker ate a bug on TV.

A cicada pastry on TV. The elite wants you to think you shouldn't eat bugs. Of course you can. Of course you can eat bugs. Of course you can. Actually. Actually. Actually. The best Tucker is using actually at the end of a sentence.

Yeah. That is very true. And then when he has a guest on, he just goes... Seamus is making the face. The elite want you to think that you're not supposed to eat bugs. Actually. You are.

Actually. But actually, people around the world eat bugs and they enjoy it. What about lobster? Lobster's a bug. People eat that. Lobster is a bug.

You know who doesn't eat bugs? Lobster, crab. Antifa. That's right. Antifa doesn't eat that. Lobster is a bug though. Lobster, crab, funny bug. That's right. Antifa doesn't eat bugs. So okay. Read about Antifa's diet in my new book at antifa.com. Did you study them like animals? Yes, I did.

You should. In Chaz, they had a whole co-op with food and everything. Bugs? No bugs. So it's and everything. So yeah. No bugs. So it's true. Antifa doesn't eat bugs. There were no bugs in chat. You should do a video spoof.

You should do a video spoof with shots of Antifa and do the Earth style documentary. Right. The young Antifa approaches the female and performs his dance. A mating ritual. It doesn't work. Anyway, we're talking about eating the bugs and living in the pot. And then we'll have the Snoop Dogg version on top of that. Yeah.

I got some questions about this article. Well, so it's an article. It's not the only one, right? There's also this other story from Reuters that says U.S. consumers sour on housing markets' buying conditions. I mean, I guess that's true because the ultra-wealthy are buying up these houses. But, bro, they are saying live in the pot and eat the bugs. The people who don't buy houses, have you seen apartments in new york they are pods dude i remember watching these these stories on like the news where they're like this apartment goes for three thousand dollars

it's a closet yeah it's literally a closet and they're like it's a bed in it i mean i mean hong kong is basically like that you know they got these really tiny cramped apartments now there's there's like a subreddit dedicated for these really awful tiny apartments where it's like a bed next to a toilet in a closet well there's there's even worse if you look at some of the illegal housing structure they have set up in hong kong and beijing where it'll be these sort of like large kind of like kind of like the room room right now but inside the room they'll have essentially what looks like uh steel rack bunk beds and then you can rent one of the bunks and you might be in a room with like 80 other dudes and here's a

family that's got like two bunks but it's like five people and that's it and you go to work and you come back to your bunk and the pod would be like a step up from some of this stuff. Wow. Well that's where we're going.

So I think it's time for people to get into cities. And we'll love it. That's right. You will love it. You will own nothing and you'll be happy. They make that video. But you know what? They're not wrong.

They're not wrong. People can... Look, this is what I was saying earlier today. If you were born in the 1400s, are you going to complain about not having a smartphone? You wouldn't know what a smartphone is. Are you guys complaining about not being able to teleport right now? No.

Sometimes. Do you have any idea how long it takes me to drive here? Yeah. Teleporting just kills you and recreates you in another place. That's true. Is it really you? Is it really you? Right now, there's a bunch of technology that will exist

in 100 years we don't know about. And we don't have access to it. I mean, we're relatively happy. That's what it is. So this is what they're exploiting. They're exploiting that if the serfs have access to knowledge, then they will become unhappy with their circumstances. So they want us to be ignorant. The people who are following the mainstream media, not watching shows like this,

not getting a critical thought process through, they're just going to, Brian Seltzer said it, so it must be true. I'm happy. They're going to get their home taken away from some ridiculous. They're going to say, oh no, because of COVID, we've got to take your house now. And they're going to go, well, if it saves one life, that'll be it. And then people who aren't in those states, in red states, this is what's crazy. The red states are going the other direction. DeSantis, Abbott, no vaccine passports. New York, California, Illinois, Washington, yes.

So what happens? New York says if you want to go to these businesses, you need a vaccine. The Excelsior Pass, they call it. So what happens if you're visiting from Texas? Just a tourist. You want to go visit. Sorry, can't come in. We don't like your kind around here.

Yeah. So people won't go. What will happen is people who live in New York who don't want to live under a vaccine passport in a pod or eating bugs will move to texas texas will then become ideologically homogenous among people who like freedom don't want to live in pods or eat bugs oh i don't know about that man because i think a lot of people will leave these blue states for a red state but still vote for all the horrible things that destroyed their state in the first place they'll go like oh i really don't like all of these things the government's forcing me to do so i'm going to move somewhere where i'm more free but then they're just going to vote for

all the same stupid stuff that destroyed their place i don't i don't think so because the reason i disagree with that is the people in uh blue states who are for vaccine passports are happy with them and demanding them they're they're these tiktok videos where the girl's like i can't believe our governor just banned vaccine passports like how, how dumb. They don't want to live there. They want to leave. And people in New York are like, why don't we have more? What advice.com write? They wrote this article the other day. Why aren't we mandating vaccine passports? These people are going to jump and cheer to be in New York getting locked in under these things. And people who don't like that will leave not wanting to live that way. And then you will have an actual

physical divide between states and ideology. And then it's like the politicians from Washington and the politicians from Utah or whatever, or whoever else passed the ban on vaccine passports, they are going to be like totally different countries no shared culture completely at odds and then what happens what happens when new york says you get cuomo being like we have to have vaccine passports because of the the potential for a fifth wave and then he says we're gonna have to lock down the borders like we did last time and do checks for people who are vaccinated when the pandemic first started they had cops at the at the roads into and out of manhattan that that's already started to an extent with this this and i think they keep

changing the name of the indian variant or the nepalese variant they keep but there there's already people saying that we're not sure if the current vaccines that have been rolled out will be effective against the new variant which is always sort of like one of the corollaries with the vaccine right that hey this may not affect new variants. Well, it looks like the thing that's actually spreading across India and is now potentially continuing may not be affected by the current. We don't know if they're affected yet. So what happens then if you live in Texas or Florida or North Carolina is an East Coast state. It voted for Trump and they have a substantially lower ratio of vaccinations. What happens if you live there and you try to go to New York new york they're not gonna let you in they're literally gonna

bar you and be like ah if you're not vaccinated you can't come oh no then you'll have but yeah you say oh no for sure i'm kidding because because no but the seriousness of it is the hard divide it's a very different issue than just like you know you see it with gun owners right now so they have the they have like the drive-through laws-through laws that if I am a gun owner but I'm driving through a state like New Jersey or I'm driving through New York, well, as long as I'm not stopping and spending a substantial amount of time in that state, then I can still have my guns in the car. I'm just driving through. This isn't my final destination. As long as you're following, they have to be broken apart and the ammo has to be separated separate etc but you can physically have them this is different because it's i will not go to that state number one or i do not want people from that state coming here

number two and that's only going to leave i mean uh sports teams but you know what happens with sports teams then do they still play right are we gonna is that going to be allowed etc what what happens when a texas-based sports team, I'm sure, which has many conservatives playing on the team, you just don't hear their politics, and they're like, you know, I talked to my doctor. Vaccine's not right for me. I don't feel like doing it.

Then they're like, well, if you want to go play at the World Series or whatever against the Yankees in New York, you have to. Otherwise, you can't go in. And they're like, nah. This is a hard divide. So a lot of people talked about it's the olympics right now by the way is oh yeah that's why you know we were supposed to be like gearing up for okay we had the 2020 olympics postponed to 2021 uh summer started you know

where's the olympics like where's the gear up towards it and in tokyo they're freaking out that the i was one ioc guy just committed suicide just threw himself in front of the subway it's horrible because the the sheer amount of pressure that's on them because of all this and all these athletes. And you look at some of these sports, by the way, where a lot of them, they live off of the Olympics. The whole sport collapses without that Olympics. that Olympics itself every four years. And so, you know, you realize that all of these questions are having very real consequences now, right now, in real time. And are we going to get to a situation where, I mean, I think, you know, you think of like the late night comedy.

Oh, those people in Texas, they won't come up, you know. Imagine how insufferable Jimmy Kimmy kimmel's going to be right once that starts but imagine then how radical so jimmy kimmel is the leading edge of it right then how radical will they even the more radical people become towards people from you know somebody walking down the street with a you know a cowboy hat on does you do you become a target now yeah yeah i i so uh bill maher said a while ago we're going to tone down the attacks against trump and his supporters because it could very well lead to a civil war bill maher actually said that on the show i didn't really said that that's great yes that's good for

him uh later on that's huge he said there can't be a civil war because the mason dixon line would go through nana's kitchen or something like that which is like a really dumb statement it's it's like it's like he thinks time stopped the moment he said those words. Bro, the future is a thing, and things can change. Does he think that like in 1861, they're like, there can't possibly be a civil war? Yeah, a lot of people thought that exactly. So it's like, who do you think you are? You have no idea what could happen. We got all these counties in Oregon just voted to secede from the state and join Idaho. They literally voted to do that. Now, whether or not it'll happen, probably not. But the sentiment is there. Now you have through obviously there's cultural issues, but ultimately comes on a tribal

issues for tribal reasons. People are choosing to do things like David Hogg. I'm going to wear a mask so that no one thinks I'm a conservative Republican. It's yeah, it's nothing to do with the CDC guidelines. There was a we had Elijah Schaefer on the show the other day, and now he's flying back out. He has this tweet. It's fantastic. He said they made an announcement over the intercom on the plane that even though the CDC changed the guidelines on masks, the federal government is still requiring everybody abide by this, which leaves all of these people on the plane confused because they were supposed to do what the CDC said. Now they're being told they can't.

So anyway, I digress on that point. It was never about listening to the science. Right, right. So I bring that up because it is totally tribal. And now we are getting the physical dividing line between the tribes. Well, have you heard the idea of when your tribe expands and contracts? Well, just one more point. There's a story from NPR that shows if you if you look at all of the states on a scale of the highest per capita vaccinations to the lowest, there's a line right through the middle.

And there's like a weird gap. All of the states that are higher in per capita vaccinations. Who did they vote for in 2020? I have no idea. Joe Biden. Joe Biden. And on the other side, they're all red except for the four states that were contested by Trump and his team.

And I think Missouri, I'm not sure Missouri was contested, but that makes sense. It's kind of a, you know, a swing state. All the Trump, right. All the Trump supporting states are lower lower lower on the vaccination per capita and the states that were like really close and were being contested are also slightly lower and then all the hard blue pro-biden states totally like high 70 75 vaccinations so washington they're now rolling out vaccine passports new york we're going to see it everywhere but what's happening is it's not a hardcore thing where they're like, you know, California isn't coming out and saying you must have a vaccine passport or else they're saying, ah, yes, come in. And if you're not vaccinated,

you can go into the bathroom and sit down and have your beer, but you can't be near other people. They're making people not participate socially, which creates not a mandate, but a social pressure toward these things, which means, like I mentioned, people who live in New York who won't live that way will go to Florida or Texas. I know, how many people do you guys know moved to Texas recently? Oh, that's great. Texas and Florida. A bunch. Texas and Florida. We had some guests here, and I'm not going to say

they're there because I don't know if they've announced they're moving to Texas, but they're like, yeah, I'm moving to Texas. And I'm like, several people. And Florida, Luke, who was on this show for two months, Luke, what are you doing, you traitor? He went to Florida. Yeah, I moved to the south about six years ago. Oh, how was it? Went down there for school and never

left. So I don't know anyone who's moving to Texas because I'm already in the south. DeSantis is doing a pretty good job. Not perfect, but nobody is. He's doing probably one of the best jobs in the country as a governor, in my opinion. And so people want to be there. But I don't like living in like, people need to understand the humidity oh in florida is so intense you're swimming you're

like it's you basically just under water trump left he said he said he told me he's like i'm not i'm not doing this he's going back to new york he's what he's going back to new york he went back to new york for the summer he said i'm not i'm not even gonna be here he's a florida resident now but he's up in... Did he get vaccinated? He did. He did. They said he did. I think Ivanka did it publicly.

She took a picture. She did it publicly, but then Trump... They said he was vaccinated and Melania before they left the White House, but they never really made a big public thing out of it. What about Barron? A lot of people do. I don't know. Yeah. No idea.

He's not in the at-risk category. I wonder if Trump would do that. I just think, you know, when New York, they've announced this massive, I think it's like a $17 million expansion. They're funding the Excelsior system. It's more than just vaccines. The Excelsior system is going to track your medical history period and your age and a bunch of other things, which means they could actually say, like, you can't be over 55 to come in here. Scan your Excelsior pass. They're're like they're really getting into this so let me go back to what i was going to say earlier is that you know people are generally tribal right you know that's that's how

humanity developed you know where these bands of tribes and then as as cities and then city states started to become more developed um your tribe expanded, right? And so if you look into – I think we're all generally millennials slash elder millennials here. No, he's a Gen Xer. I'm kind of – I'm right on the bridge of millennial and Gen Z. Okay. What year were you born? 95.

Oh, wow. I think you were Gen Z. Wow. I might be. I don't know. I've heard different definitions, though. For some people, that's right at the cutoff. Yeah, exactly. You're kind of on the bridge of Gen Z. But anyway, put it this way. So if you look at, though. For some people, that's right at the cutoff. Yeah, exactly.

You're kind of on the bridge at Gen Z. But anyway, put it this way. So if you look at, like, 80s, 90s. You're a millennial. Right. Okay. Your tribe was generally pretty much the United States of America, right? I'm an American first.

And then you're everything else, right? Then you have your religion, and then your state, and then what sports team you like, et cetera, et cetera. And then, you know, the enemy is the Soviets or, you know, then eventually it became, you know, the terrorist. Terrish. You have to say it like that. Terrish. Terrish. Terrish. You know, for a while. But then, you know, really starting past 2008 and, you know, I don't make this an Obama thing, but like I think it's a word of financial as well. That with that financial instability that you saw a breakup of that idea and so because in in times of scarcity right the tribes get smaller and you're because we're looking now we're thinking instead of this these these abundant uh you know this this idea that oh the future is always going to be great we're looking at the next frontier we're sending space shuttles up all the time right you know that's my childhood

now i take my kids to cape canaveral the space shuttles are in museums and elon musk and bezos are like doing something but we're not really sure if it's real or not you know yeah it doesn't it doesn't feel the same or it doesn't have that same sort of national uh ethos behind it the same way the space shuttle program did and and there's this question of like what team am i on or some people question are you the left or the right you know i don't even remember anyone talking like that uh when i was younger it's like yeah you know i voted for demarca i voted for republican this time because i like this team better i like this political form better but But there wasn't this idea that, you know, you had to be on one side all the time, 24 seven. And and so the question, you know, really, psychologically speaking, is, is that something that's downstream of economics? The same way that, you know, we say

politics, culture, but it's culture downstream from economics. Yeah, I mean, it's obviously all really intermingled. But there's something interesting there about resources contracting and then people really wanting to almost oust people from their side. It's almost like this biological response. There's less for all of us. So we need to find a reason to expel people so that there's more for me. It is fascinating. And I think ironically enough, that actually exacerbates the problem, too, because the less people are working together, the less able they are to build up the economic resources that would allow for them to not have to oust people. You know, it's historically part of what would get people ousted, too, is getting sick, illness, communicable diseases. You know, you throw them out of the castle.

Five-year-old has symptoms, throw them out. Even if it's your sister's son or whatever. We need only look at chicken society to learn our important lesson. When a chicken gets sick or is hobbled or weak, they go nuts. They attack it. They'll kill it. Now, it's really interesting, though, because something I just said a moment ago, I want to walk back a little bit or at least expand upon because I mentioned that when you start

ousting people or purging them from your group, people aren't working together. So you're less likely to develop the economic prosperity that would be necessary for people to live in harmony. But I wonder if that's a correction mechanism, because it's very much possible, and I would say probably a concrete fact, that once people are really economically prosperous, they become much less selective about the kind of behavior that they're willing to tolerate. We see this in very developed countries. The moral fabric tends to begin to dissipate.

And so maybe hard economic times are a correction mechanism for that and people sort of returning to a structure where they are more selective about the kind of behavior they'll tolerate because it can't continue forever with anyone doing whatever they want or else the entire system gets destroyed. Forthurning. It was bad morals that got us into this economic forthurning place, it seems like. Something really weird happened in the past five years with a dramatic cultural shift. And it's funny.

Left. We bring it up from time to time. But left and right are meaningless at this point. You know, I mean, sure. We use them as tribal signifiers for the most part. They're relative. I've said this before. I do think that the left in many ways are descendants of the initial left. When I just look at this main common threat from the left at the time of the French Revolution

when the term was first coined has always existed to oppose the Catholic Church and its values and battle against tradition. And that's still true today of the left. But there's this really strange shift that happened. So just before the show, I played the song Hit That by The Offspring. And I'm like, if you listen to those lyrics,

it sounds like a very conservative song. It's talking about the consequences of hookup culture. And I'm like, if you were in an article right now. No, no, no joke. Take The Offspring, punk band, pop punk, mainstream, whatever. But this is 2003. Take that song. Take the lyrics and turn it into an article.

So when they say, like, you know, the consequences are a life away, you can say, like, your work. Imagine putting into, like, a relationship article. Yeah. Well, you'd be called far right. Yeah. You'd be called far right. Yeah. Criticizing Tinder and hookup culture and misogynistic.

Yep. You know, backward, toxic, clearly, you know, anti-female self-hatred. If it was written by a female, you know, one of my. She's internalized patriarchy, pure toxic purity culture. know anti-female uh self-hatred if it was written by a female you know what about her she's internalized patriarchy pure toxic purity culture one of my favorite punk rock songs is why don't you get a job i know i know it's pop punk it's not like yeah so you know i i was i thought about this before i tweeted about it several months ago but i was thinking about again about how do we get to how what happened you know what happened did did like, take a sledgehammer to the system?

Did the multiverse shatter and different realities merged and just, like, nothing makes sense anymore? I think it was technological. I'm racking my brain for what changed technologically six, seven years ago. The streaming capability? That's something. What were you going to say? Well, so, no. So, you know that whole bit of sort of, you know, everybody under 40 knows that this all started with Harambe, but we're not sure why. Right. True. You know, but actually, I was talking to a friend of you know everybody under 40 knows that this all started with harambe but we're not sure why yeah right you know but i actually i was talking to a friend of mine recently um who shall

remain nameless but he actually had a good answer for why we all sort of agree that it's harambe and what you know he looked at harambe as a symbol of society is just subtly out to get you and they will just kill you for no reason that even though not not to get into whether or not harambe should have been killed but uh you know because the kids in there and all but that just sort of the larger meta narrative that's going on there that you could be hanging out one day and that's and that society will just come and boom like a meat cleaver i i hear the theory. I respect it. But I think the more obvious theory is just that Harambe was an interdimensional time lord who was holding together the multiverse. No, no.

This is for the members thing. You're going to get a spin. What are you doing? You're going to shut down completely over here. The guy who killed Harambe was like a secret agent sent from like another dimension. And like, you know, he walks in. He's like a terminator. Takes his glasses off.

The kid that Parada was trying to protect. Yeah. He's like a future leader. I don't know if Ranbei was trying to protect the kid. I actually saw a really good one, a really good meme of this recently. Quick child, you need to understand. Dr. Fauci is improving experiments with the Wuhan Institute. You've got to warn.

Which brings us to our next story, actually. Thank you, Harambe, for the segue. House Republicans demand answers about why Facebook censored lab leak theories after it emerged that Mark Zuckerberg was emailing Dr. Anthony Fauci. Look, man. Uh-oh. Do we have a conspiracy fact at some point? I saw a really funny meme from somebody where it was like 2018, and it was like conspiracy theorists, and it's a picture of the guy like all crazy.

And then the next picture says 2021 conspiracy analyst. He's wearing a suit and glasses, and he's all like respectable looking. Because, okay, so now what do we have? Behind the scenes, Fauci and big tech and these labs were all saying things they were saying the opposite of publicly. Like at a certain point, is there at least, can we call it on a scale of one to 10 with one being like the least and 10 being the worst? It's a level one conspiracy, like not a whole lot going on. I'm not going to pretend it's the apocalypse, but certainly Mark Zuckerberg was colluding with Dr. Fauci to censor factual information, right? That's surreptitious.

That's unethical. That's amoral. Happening behind the scenes between powerful interests to suppress the public from communicating. But Tim, that's been debunked. No, it's been re-bunked. It's been debunked. No, it's been re-bunked. Re-bunked.

I love this. If there is one thing I learned over the past five or so years, it's that something can very quickly go from conspiracy theory to fact. I mean, if you asked me at the beginning of Trump's administration if the deep state would attempt to unseat a democratically elected leader, I'd be like, come on, that's crazy talk. And then if you asked me if there was an international global pedophile who had ties to virtually every politician in the country or a large number of them i'd be like that seems a little bit out there and then and then if you told me the guards would fabricate you know records and fall asleep or whatever and then he would die in his jail cell i'd be like get out of here dude we do not live in a movie you want to know what's really funny that one that one i'm like that's have you ever been around the federal government before? I do want to say one point.

Just don't forget what you're going to say. We shouldn't. Okay, we got to call it. When you put out the theory, you're bunking. And then the journalists will try to debunk. And then after they're proven wrong, it's re-bunking. Re-bunking? Yeah, re-bunking.

No, that on top of everything that's just going on with these leaks from Dr. Fauci. Tim, that's absolutely re-bunkulous. Re-bunkulous. And all of the information about the pandemic, we were told was just conspiracy theory, much of which turned out to be true. It just seems to me that the difference between a conspiracy theory and a fact

is like three months to a year. Conspiracy analyst. Yeah. And I'm not big into conspiracy theory by any means. But it's just disturbing to see so many things that I would have shrugged off years ago is insane nonsense being proven totally correct. Well, so, you know, a lot of this, you know, I think comes down for a lot of people. It's pattern recognition. Right. So I remember those initial task force meetings that, you know, Fauci was airing and sometimes Pence would be leaving it.

Sometimes Trump would be there and it would, you know, get into a huge, you know, combativeness with the media and they would be asking him all sorts of all the questions etc etc but i actually would pay attention to fauci and burks who is like totally gone now um when they were talking about this why is you know why is it that covet 19 spread so quickly and you remember we were always told it's it's the spike proteins and the ACE2 receptors. And it's the ability of the spike proteins to affect these ACE2 receptors in human lungs. They fit so perfectly and that's why it's able to spread so well in humans.

That was the idea. You get the droplets on you and that's it. Droplets? I was trying to do that without saying the word droplets. You're hearing this all the time. I said oh that's that's interesting that's that's that's very good i'm gonna write that down right um and and then when the wuhan lab started coming up we started looking into this they took down their database very quickly but we were able to find archived copies of this now and some of it i'm reading in mandarin

some of it we're able to translate um but when you're looking at some of the actual tests and research that was done and has been published in the literature you say well okay what what you know what is gain of function research the heck's that a year ago i couldn't told you what that meant right maybe two years ago um and you say well they were trying to they modified mice to give them this ACE2 receptor in their lungs. And then they were using gain-of-function research with, to essentially speed up the development of these coronaviruses that they had, you know, collected from this mine, an abandoned mine or cave system in a Kunming area that had spike proteins, so that they would have spike proteins. And I would said, huh, well, isn't that the same thing that the guy was talking about before with the two and you know, right. This is me just complete layman here, but these are the same two terms that I just heard from the task force meeting.

So that was the Wuhan lab doing that. Right. Okay. So now let's, uh, let's debunk something of our own here. Well, actually credit goes to Daily Mail. No bats or pangolins were sold at Wuhan wet markets immediately before COVID-19 pandemic started, Oxford study says. Research looked at 50,000 animals traded in Wuhan from 2017 to November 2019. Scientists found no evidence of bats or pangolins kept in the markets in the city.

But they say other animals traded could have easily spread COVID-19. Okay, well, then the wet market bat thing debunked, right? Well, according to them, yeah. There you go. So I read that article. I shared it today. I shared the study. But as a guy who had spent a couple years living in China, I'm familiar with the wet markets. It always seemed completely insane to me that people would eat food that came out of these things.

Bro, have you seen gutter oil? Gutter oil? Yes. I've heard about this. It's where they harvest used oil from sewer lines, filter out the garbage, and then boil it and use it for cooking. Where do they do this? In China.

I've probably had it. I've probably had it. There are times. It's street food. Yeah, there are times where I'm eating street food where they're like, hey, this is, you know, I know you're going to lie when I ask you what kind of meat this is. So just don't even tell anything. It's probably rat.

I don't know. But that's what people say like, oh, so you're a dog, man. You're a dog. I'm like, not knowingly, not deliberately. Not intentionally. Not intentionally. Certainly not intentionally. I remember there was one place in Shanghai and a couple of the guys I was over with.

I started out doing a study abroad there and then I ended up staying. But there were a couple of guys who went in and said, hey, I had a dog. And I was like, how was it? They said, it's kind of stringy. But anyway, going back, how could you know for the past three years exactly which animals were in this wet market and which ones were not. How can you really tell that there were no bats or no pangolins at all in this market? To me, that sounds like a bridge too far, and I know that it certainly kind of fits in with what everyone's been saying. And I think there's actually a lot better evidence to talk about.

For me, the one I can't get past in terms of lab leak theory is how do you get a disease outbreak that's directly related to bats or at least bats with one, what do they call it, transmission vector animal in the middle without it affecting any local populations that live in close proximity to any of these things? You're talking about the middle of a downtown urban center and i've read some of the you know like the nature journal articles talking about this they say well you know wuhan's in a it's in a it's in a broad region like what do you mean it's a broad region right every region is broad if your aperture is wide enough it doesn't make any sense so this is a huge urban industrialized area like show me the town where this broke out that's near the bat caves that has the animals right the zoonotic response like that's what i'm waiting for that i'm looking at let's talk about a crazy uh i hate the word conspiracy theory because what i'm going to describe right now is not a conspiracy in any

sense of the imagination what is it just that uh it's obvious that there is a surface news world and a war like a governmental news world meaning there's top secret confidential secret information we don't have access to so when currently right yeah currently i mean it comes out eventually or we we hope it doesn't but right now in the u.s government in the chinese government they are dealing with a level of information that we can't see. So we're on the surface. I'm willing to bet that there's some NSA guy sitting in his room right now watching the show because he loves it. And him and his buddies are just drinking and laughing, being like, they're so wrong about all of this.

China's on the moon, and we've got underwater bases. I'm not saying it's actually that crazy having been in that world you know i i hate to say that but like i can't i'm not allowed to confirm directly blah blah blah but it's it's not it's not that it's not that far removed from reality i'm just saying like it's pretty close it's there's pretty close so when we're like oh man you know the the the air force moving these planes there's somebody who's like oh well actually we're doing this we're not going to publicly say what we're doing with our air force that's what confused me about how they told us

that all the air force is now spread out around the pacific and that we're re diverting a weaponry from middle east to china like why would we be told that why would the world now be told all that information well that's i mean it's intentional well well for for a variety of reasons number one number one though is show force yeah it's like so you can't hide a b-52 bomber right you can't hide an aircraft carrier so that what you're talking about that's a survivability operation so you're you're separating your force needs you can even see this on a smaller scale where like uh when the syria strikes were going on or and then you know the u.s kind of telegraphed that hey we're probably going to strike there.

You would see the Syrian Air Force. They'd all take off because they didn't know which base was going to get hit. But they knew it's going to be one of them. So part of it, it's it's it's sending a message. It's posturing. A lot of this stuff gets gets done on a very regular basis. It goes back to even the Clinton administration when when Chinawan during uh some of their first presidential elections or some of the more contentious presidential elections you know you would see this but it it doesn't necessarily mean that it's leading towards some kinetic action jack you you know things i do have a joke are our rods from god real well define i mean which which do we have satellites loaded with tungsten rods to drop on tungsten rods yeah they call them rods from God real? Well, define. I mean, which kind? Do we have satellites loaded with tungsten rods to drop on?

Oh, the tungsten rods. Yeah. They call them rods from God. Yeah, yeah. That one. No, because I've heard that also used with the different types of directed energy. It was in G.I. Joe, the second one, where Cobra Commander takes control of the satellite.

Of course it's here. And then it drops a tungsten rod, which then slams into the earth and blows up London. We have some cool satellite stuff. Not that I've never seen anything like that, but we have some pretty cool satellite stuff. I'm waiting for that Starlink. So I looked into it. We're actually supposed to, any minute. Yeah, because this would be an area where Starlink is supposed to serve.

We would publicize it every day, too. That'd be awesome. Would you have them on? Can someone call Elon and be like, get these guys Starlink? Because to serve. Every day, too. That'd be awesome. Would you have them on? Can someone call Elon and be like, get these guys Starlink? Because I paid for it. We're on the waiting list. So how does it work?

Yeah, so people know what it is, right? Yeah, it's high speed, low latency. What is that, gigabit internet for a satellite? Right. And they send you a box. You just open the satellite thing, plug it in, and you put it by the window, I guess. I don't know.

So it's the idea of satellite TV, right, but with your internet connection. Yeah, so the thing about standard internet – we have a satellite internet backup system. For some reason, it didn't work the past few days, but it's like five megabits up. So it's really difficult to actually do a broadcast. But it works. It'll be grainy, low-res. With Starlink, it would be broadcast quality for like pennies on the dollar. This is what makes Elon's

Starlink so competitive. We're on the waiting list, so from right now until the end of the year, at any moment, the box could arrive. I don't know if there's somebody, can we call somebody and be like, hey, just look, we're on the list. Invite Elon on the show.

You can manipulate whatever crypto you want to. Just let us know which one to buy. You know, give you five minutes and, you know, I don't know if you smoke in here or not.

No. Like the Rogan. Family friendly. Family friendly. Sorry, Elon. Dude, of course we'd love to have Elon on. Yeah.

But like, I'll settle for getting a Starlink so we never lose internet again. So we can do the show. That'd be cool if we did our first Starlink show with Elon. Oh, that'd be so fun.

Yeah, that'd be rad. That's what you gotta do. So it's apparently sold out now. Really? Yeah, so in this area, because we're kind of in the middle of nowhere. It's like an hour and a half from D.C., so it's like, when you look on the map, it's just like, you can't really tell. Because D.C.'s massive, and we're just like a tiny little blip away. But mountains, trees, it's like basically west virginia just a bunch of you know

trump supporting you know right wing nut jobs who live out here for the most part well did you see that tweet from uh was virginia heffernan from the la times earlier today talking about the uh the gun ownership of the 50 mile radius no so she was saying she was saying um i i think i guess she was like buying a house or just looking at this issue. She's totally ridiculous. She's the one who had the Trump supporting neighbor who was shoveling her lawn and she was like, or shoveling her driveway. Like, I don't know if I should thank him or what should I say to this? Did he really shovel my driveway?

Is the snow actually gone? Did he shovel it out of hate? I mean, it was white snow. So, you know, and perhaps he's building some sort of, you know, she had a tweet up today where she was saying in real estate listings they should, this is LA Times

columnist, she's working at Wired, that they should include how many people own guns around you for a 50 milemile radius, and then, correct me if I'm getting any of this wrong, and then include a list of all the mass shootings that have taken place in conjunction. Now, obviously, having a list of all the gunners is completely illegal, but also...

There are websites you can look at for criminal reports in a particular area as well. That's what I was saying. I just I just quoted it. I was like, yeah, who wants to tell her? Because I'm willing to bet that in some of the lowest crime radiuses of the United States, there's a ton of law abiding gun owners. Yeah, we know. Depends on the crime. Right. So out here is a whole lot of drugs. Sure.

But it's like people. I'm guessing and might be might might be reading between the lines i'm pretty sure she means violent crime right all right she actually she actually says uh gun violence okay she says gun violence in there yeah yeah actually i'm pretty sure it's a lot safer out here uh i'd be more worried about chicago uh lots of gun laws and lots of people shooting each other like west virginia's constitutional carry and people like i don't i hear gunshots all the time you know the the other day yeah baltimore is not that far away though well so this is something i explained a while ago it's when i live in new york and i hear gunshots that

freaks me out right because you're not supposed to also it's a really dense urban area like what are they shooting right out here it's like i wake up and there's gun i'm actually i wake up and i'm kind of worried when there aren't gunshots i'm like oh the neighbor's not out something wrong yeah neighbors are just you know i'm worried about the neighbors man you know yeah yeah one time i think one of the neighbors came out with his kids because it was just like sounded like it sounded full auto but it was just like four people just shooting all at the same time well there's that should be like there's places in west virginia where you can do that i am some of the the training I did when I was still in the intelligence community,

we did out in a spot in West Virginia where they were able to get licenses and permits to shoot. We shot some pretty fun stuff. Yeah, we just shot 50 BMG a couple weeks ago. There's a range in Georgia where you can shoot full auto. It's great. Really expensive, but it's great. Yeah. There's a thing they do at DEFCON, which is the hacker convention, where, like, in the early days, they go out into the Mojave and they set up a bunch of guns.

And when I went there several years ago, that was, like, eight years ago, maybe now, this guy had a, like, belt-fed 7.62, I think. And it was like, you got to pay for the rounds yourself and then have at it. So we had big boxes of, you know, belts. And it's like. M24? I don't know what your guy was. He had like three different ones. And they were just like, people were like.

Yeah, yeah. It was awesome. Yeah. Yeah, we did that at this place down. I went with Ashley St. Clair. And we were outside of Houston. They call it Hella Bacon. Where you can actually get permits to go up and do this.

It's a company that runs it. It's totally not a commercial, et cetera, et cetera. So they do one range day where you can just shoot anything you want to shoot. Literally anything up to and including a minigun. RPG? Oh, yeah. You can shoot an RPG. No, no, no. Not an RPG.

Come on. No, not an RPG. And then then the next day you get up super early in a helicopter they take you up to shoot wild hogs yes full with full auto ar-15s and you're flying over the ranch and the ranchers want you to do auto air 15s full auto modified or what uh they're modified select fire wow yeah isn't that just an m16 um no no because they're modified. It's like fire. Wow. Yeah. Isn't that just an M 16? Um, no, no, cause there's still, there's still the compact they make. All right. Yeah. A lot of people don't understand how bad hogs are. It's, it's horrible. So the ranchers want you up there doing it, right? This, this is an invasive species. They are pests. Uh, they tear it up.

They, you know, they kill, they can go after, you know, livestock. And so, but it's, it's, it's wild and people don't realize the culture difference because on your way to these ranches, you're flying there, and you're up in the air above. I'm looking down. There's a town right below me. Now it's Texas, so you pop off there, and they're going to start shooting back. This is my thing on the Great Reset. But it's totally different from the East Coast kind of mentality. If the Great Reset is limited to if you live in big cities, you eat the bugs and live in the pod, I'll be like, okay.

Like if you have a choice to live in these awful places, sure, whatever. People can choose to do that. There are always going to be hogs to hunt. It is impossible to get rid of them. It's impossible to get rid of them. It's open season on them basically everywhere where they exist, and they still can't keep the numbers down. We were up there for hours, and they just kept coming. We stopped because we were running low on fuel,

and we were like, we've got to flight out. Anybody who's familiar with any kind of MMORPG knows that there's hogs everywhere. They're just respawning. That's how you level up. I know. So my level, I mean, I came in pretty low. I was like the highest level. As much as South Park got this wrong, you can't just kill hogs, boars, to level up.

Because once you're a few levels above them, you stop getting experience for doing it. You were well-rested, though, so you got an XP bonus. Yeah, exactly. That's right. Eventually got to go for the most dangerous game. Like the boss hog? The boss hog.

You got to find the boss hog. The giant 20- and we were after so they had coyotes as well hunting coyotes we had coyotes out there as well yeah you know you know what they need wolves we can find them the issue is that uh in a lot of places with wolves being displaced because they were a threat to us right right and so they fled then you get invasive species running rampant deer population explodes man people don't understand why you hunt deer in these city people. It's also true. I'll put it this way.

I'd be willing to bet, let's do a study, that if you went to a city and asked this question, okay, here's a question for you, Jack. You see a butterfly caught in a spider's web. Do you free it? Me personally, no. Why not? Because I know that that spider is going to be there. It's going to then consume the butterfly and all those other pests and gnats.

And I don't know if a spider would go after a cicada, but maybe. So the idea is a filtration system, essentially. Right. I'd be willing to bet that if you go to a city or if you go to like a liberal and ask, they'd free the butterfly. Whereas a conservative wouldn't. Because obviously we understand the beauty of the butterfly. I could be wrong. I could be totally wrong about this.

Maybe liberals are just ruthless and they're like, kill them both or something crazy. I don't really think that. I think they typically would be like the butterfly is an important pollinator and it's beautiful and a part of nature and it shouldn't die to a spider. A spider can eat anything else. And so a lot of conservatives would probably just be like, circle of life, you know, that spider eats the bugs, eats the pests, butterfly or not so that that's a difference in mentality i think about you know so we're city folk out here we had a deer feeder and they were

like oh you're gonna kill some deer and we're like no i'm just gonna feed them like why they're pests no they're like they're awful we hate them that's exactly what it was like they overpopulate they destroy crops they destroy trees they need The population levels need to be kept down. Otherwise, they get diseased and ridden with nasty parasites. They starve to death. And so they're like, don't just feed them. And I'm like, well, the good news is they don't like the deer feeder. The birds do.

And they're like, oh, the birds are fine. We had this growing up. Valley Forge Park was always a huge place for us to go on weekends. Ended up actually got engaged, got married right near there. But because it's federal protected, it's a federal park, a national park, the deer know this. And so they know if they go in there, they go in there. Well, they know that this is a safe area.

So you get to the point where when it's it's dust you you like can't drive around right because the deer are everywhere and they're tearing up all this stuff and a lot of the land right there that's that's actual you know some of it it's it's some of these dirt forts and different fortifications that were made by the actual uh continental army under george washington during that winter um where right so phil Philadelphia has fallen, the British have taken it. It's, this is, this is prior to the, uh, uh, the crossing of the Delaware and the battle of Trenton. And so, or just before that, I should say. And so, you know, these deer are tearing up actual us history, but you know, and this is Pennsylvania. So people are like, so can, can we

go after the deer please? And, and the federal government had to do this whole, like, permit system to let people go in and then hire guys from, like, the USDA to come in. So there's actually, like, a deer death squad, basically. Wow. I believe it's under USDA from, like, years ago. And I'm like, how do you sign up? Oh, yeah. Which department are you with? USDA.

Step aside. You step aside, kid man. Step aside, baby. I hope you're all sitting down because this might infuriate you, but this morning I saw a deer and it was eating our mulberries. What? It was eating our mulberries? Tim, what are guns for?

I know! Defending the mulberry. And I was shaking like, I can't kill Bambi! And it was like, your mulberries are mine! Don't worry, it was Bambi's mom. Oh, okay. That's like Simpsons. Don't let their bovine nature fool you, Timmy.

Given the chance, a cow would kill you and your entire family. We have pawpaw trees out here. Do you guys know what pawpaws are? I guess they're like mango and banana combined. Oh, yeah. It's like the only fruit of that type in North America or something. So we have this tree. And I remember seeing the deer were always crowding on our driveway because there's a tree right there in August and September, whatever.

All these fruits are there. And they're in the middle of the road. So no, no, for real. When you're coming down at night, there's no streetlights or anything. No, no. You got to be real careful. And then you see them standing. They're really dumb.

Yep. They just like they'll walk up to the car and just stare at you as you're like heading like, what's this? lights or anything. No. You've got to be real careful. And then you see them standing there. They're really dumb. Yep. They just like, they'll walk up to the car and just stare at you as you're like, heading like, what's this? I'm like. Yeah, like we talk about Darwin Awards, but no, really. There's just too many of them. We've got turkeys, too. We've got a lot of turkeys.

Yeah, I've seen them walking around in the woods, dude. Yeah, same. They gang up on you. They're around you like. Yeah, they walk up to you and start pushing. You're like. Just talking smack. You're like, all right, I'm trying to get back to the house.

I was unprepared for how well you gobble. No, but it's the same thing when you talk to people out here. They're like, turkeys, huh? We can help you out with that. And I'm like, what's the problem? They're like, turkeys are pests. Like, you got to get rid of them. They're like, turkeys are bad people, Tim.

You don't understand. Then, like, they have a video of turkeys spray painting their property. Turkeys are just spray painting and and then it's like the beginning of one of those cop shows and you see that yeah yeah it's the turkeys of course it was the turkeys he just like sniffed dude turkeys were out well this was someone saw a mountain lion out here yeah we're rare really yeah like really really yeah yeah which is uh i don't know why it's rare it happens yeah but we were told that on this side of the river because because uh if you guys have ever played any mmorpg you know that certain mobs can only spawn on certain sides of the river like if you're in stones yeah like if you're in elwyn forest you know that the the boars and the knolls don't spawn

in in darkshire and the ghouls don't spawn in elwynn. So across the river from us, there's like bears. And it's like way more serious because it's West Virginia. But in the Maryland side, they're like, you don't got to worry about anything. It's like deer. It's like really low level stuff. But every so often a bear or a bobcat or a mountain lion will be spotted. And so people were saying like not too far from here in this area in Western Maryland, they spotted like a mountain lion or whatever.

So they're like, you got to be careful. Now think about that. You live out one of these houses. You get an alert. You see on Facebook like, guys, we got a report from the local authorities. There's a mountain lion spotted in the area. Please be armed and safe. Think about that. Please be armed and safe. And now you get these laws.

Air 15. Come on, man. Ain't nobody need 15, you know, 10 rounds. And then people are like, if you can't hit it in 10 rounds, you shouldn't be shooting at it. Oh, okay. So I'm not a professional. I'm not a professional military man or law enforcement guy, but I want to keep my friends and family safe from a mountain lion. And if it takes me more, look, maybe I'm really bad.

And I'm like trying to protect myself from a mountain lion. Yeah, maybe I need to have a standard capacity magazine of 30 rounds. If you're not a marksman, your whole family should die if someone breaks in. That's right. If a mountain lion breaks in. Given that situation, I mean, you know, I have a good military background, but I've never considered myself to be like, you know, like there's certain, I don't know, like as you call them influencers, pundits out there that are like really focused on Second Amendment and shooting. And like that's certain i don't know like as you come influencers pundits out there that are like really focused on second amendment and shooting and like that's their whole thing i love them they're great guys i i've always been more like the current events breaking news kind

of guy but just to you know defend the ar-15 for a second right that you're talking about a firearms platform where the reason so many people use it is because it is versatile and because it is something that has a great accuracy for someone who is a hobbyist for someone who is you know just getting kind of getting into guns that you're going to have a better um propensity for actually hitting your target rather than you're using like like a Glock or a 45 any 9mm any handgun right certainly at a greater distance right you are going to put your rounds on target in a safer more controlled yeah situation with an AR-15 than you would with almost any other firearm out there speaking generally think about this you guys remember the story

about the guy who went to the Empire State Building and then it was like a revenge killing? It was a disgruntled employee. No. So he goes to the Empire State Building. He's all angry and then he takes a handgun and he shoots a bunch of people. He leaves the building and the NYPD, they run up to stop him and they start firing wildly, hitting like seven or so people.

When was this? Let me see if I can pull it up. I totally don't remember this. It's kind of tragic. this? Let me see if I can pull it up. Two or three years ago, I think. I totally don't remember this. It's kind of tragic. I think seven people got hit. That's my guess. I'm guessing it's seven people other than the guy they were with. Yeah, they didn't hit the guy.

All Empire State shooting victims were wounded by officers, according to police. Wow. So on a busy Friday morning. Let's pull this off. Let's jump into this story. How long ago did this happen? This is CNN from 2012. What month uh august and so they say i was in i was in training for gitmo back then so i missed a couple all empire state shooting victims were wounded by officers on a busy friday morning

in manhattan nine pedestrian nine pedestrians suffered bullet or fragment wounds after police unleashed a hail of gunfire at a man walking with a 45 caliber pistol who had just killed a former co-worker the officers unloaded 16 rounds in the shadow of the empire gunfire at a man walking with a.45 caliber pistol who had just killed a former co-worker. The officers unloaded 16 rounds in the shadow of the Empire State Building at a disgruntled former apparel designer, killing him after he engaged in a gun battle with police, authorities said. Three passerbys sustained direct gunshot wounds, while the remaining six were hit by fragments, according to the New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. All injuries were caused by police.

All injuries were caused by police. All injuries were caused by police. One officer shot nine rounds and another shot seven. Police identified the gunman as Jeffrey Johnson, 58, who was apparently laid off from his job as a designer of women's accessories at Hazan Import Co. last year. Johnson served in the U.S. Coast Guard in the mid-70s, had two rounds left in his pistol. It holds eight, Kelly said. Now, I just want to point something out. What do you think would have happened if those officers had rifles, AR-15s? I mean, you can never say, right?

But if they're going at range and this guy's moving, if he's, you know, if he's being furtive, if he's trying to, you know, use cover and concealment, they would have had a better, just talking based use covering concealment they would have had a better just just talking based on the numbers they would have had a better chance of hitting him directly let's let's and let's not even say a five five six let's say the police were given a short barrel nine millimeter with a stock like come on man you know i understand we want to want the cops to be arms armed these oh well they would say militarization with police right right right exactly that would be the so they're saying the cops we you know a glock 17 or whatever and these cops miss it's not an easy thing to do they complain about police and police brutality it's

like okay then give them a a short barreled rifle or ar pistol with with us with a stock and they will be way more accurate they will they will one shot fired guys down stop stop the murderer dead in his tracks as he started shooting at cops less bullets fired more accurate. They will, one shot fired, guys down. Stop the murder or deadness tracks as you started shooting at cops. Less bullets fired, more accurate. This is a good example of, like what you're saying.

That's exactly what I'm talking about, yeah. It's not just the idea of militarization of police. It's the idea of AR-15s are dangerous. It's like, dude, people who, with handguns,

like handguns, I'll admit, I mean, maybe it's just me, but rifle's way easier i go to the range and i can hit everything with the with the with the ar-15 well you've got a longer you've got a longer barrel so and stabilize it's more stable it's it's more um you know it's more forgiving basically for those little mistakes with you know a four inch barrel on a handgun right you got to be front sight focus you got to be dead on you have to have your t all the way across and also this is what real quick this is what people don't understand

is that they assume an ar-15 is firing five five six it's like you get get a nine millimeter rifle yeah there are different variants yeah or or 45 subsonic slower and more accurate also i mean the vast majority of gun violence is committed with well the vast majority of gun violence is committed with handguns. All rifles combined, including the AR-15, kill fewer people every year than hammers do. Yeah. Oh. I think sharks, too, right? It's incredibly rare.

I don't know about sharks. Yeah, that's the thing. And this is what that judge, actually, in California recently, who struck down the firearms ban, the assault, quote-unquote, assault weapons ban. Assault weapons ban. Yeah, but it's funny, because I'll go to any gun store online, and you type in assault weapon. They won't sell you one. They won't sell you one. They'll sell defense weapons.

It's weird. All day long, assault weapons. Yeah, it's weird. I walked into a store, and I was like, hello, sir, I would like to buy one assault weapon. And the man said, that doesn't exist. One assault weapon, please. One assault weapon, please.

One weapon for assault? They're like leave right now what are you going to words the words you're saying don't right so the judge the judge in this case in that you know if you haven't gone through the whole thing it's

really long opinion that he wrote that he put down but the the first part of it which was driving you know sort of like the anti-gun types nuts he said it's called it like a Swiss army knife and he says it's like a swiss army knife because it's there when you need it and it solves so many different uh different

situations different problems different challenges that arise and the vast majority of this is like this is the most popular gun in the united states the vast majority of people who use this uh never use it to medic to commit a crime they are lawful they are law abiding they're using it safely for lawful legal purposes this is exactly what i've been trying to tell people about my barrett m82 you know like what happens if like i don't know an international band of terrorists that like exactly like the fast and furious cure they're fighting and i see this helicopter and i'm like look i gotta protect my property from this international cabal led by charlie's throne and so i've got a 50 bmg you never know and she's not gonna be able to hit

you from the helicopter i i do love this though because like we posted the vlog where i have the the barrett i mean it's a 50 bmg and we were shooting at a plate or whatever and then these lefties are like what are you gonna hunt with that and i was like what does hunting have to do with anything yeah like hunting yeah but for half a second i thought you said plane it's like tim Lefties are like, what are you going to hunt with that? And I was like, what does hunting have to do with anything? Hunting. You said plate, but for half a second I thought you said plane. It's like, Tim, what are you doing? What are you doing?

Steel plates. Yeah, steel plates. We were hoping that it would vaporize the target. Because the steel plate was rated for.308. And we were like, if we hit this, it's probably going to block. One person, Dan, got a glancing shot so it just dented it but it was also on a wooden you know it was mounted so it absorbed a lot of the hit and there's some places you can go where where i've done and this is new virginia where they'll

let you do like abandoned cars oh man like the glass in and everything yeah we had like a bmw and a mercedes and we were like take that one percent ah it was class class war i also got to at one point with one of these things and they just buy these junk cars for you to be able to use and for tactical training um they actually got one of the trainings we went through was firing a firing handgun from the driver's seat through the windshield at a target oh whoa so yeah so learning how the difference so the angle of the windshield versus if you know your target. So, okay,

your target's here. So you want to shoot center mass, but because of the angle of deflection, you actually want to kind of fire down in a sense. And it bends it up so that it bends. So it hits the glass and bends fraction and action. Yeah. Refraction and action.

Very good. And people need, yeah, that's crazy. It was awesome. It was, it was, it was just amazing.

I always tell people behind the engine block, right? Yeah. You know, so you can do these tests where they, yeah, that's crazy. It was awesome. It was just amazing. I always tell people, behind the engine block, right? Yeah. Behind the engine block. So you could do these tests where they'll have the car. That was in the George Floyd Square. That was when the shooting broke out. You can actually hear, and I'm guessing it's some security who's there with, it was like some British or foreign reporter. And he doesn't know what to do.

And here's this guy just go get behind the engine block go go and that's yeah don't don't hide behind the doors and don't ever do that in the movies the cops are literally behind the door and i'm like dude that's like a millimeter of like well some some police cars will have will have some armor there but yeah just just don't assume your car isn't up armored you know if god forbid you're ever that situation, you engine block all day long. However, I don't know if you guys wanted to get into this, the engine block is also what allows for pit maneuvers to take place. Oh, that video that came out. So it's the same idea because, yes, the engine block is this large chunk of metal, right, that's right in the front of the car.

But that's also what um leaves a car's weight balance completely off right and so your trunk's never going to have more weight than the engine there's this video that's going viral where a cop is trying to pull over this woman for some like minor traffic violation and he decides he's speeding i think she was speeding so he decides to murder her to just straight up kill the woman what so i'm being a bit hyperbolic he performs a pit maneuver and flips her vehicle over and crashes it and then he walks over and she's like help and he's like pulling her out of the overturned vehicle writing her a ticket as she yeah you're not even i wouldn't i wouldn't even describe it like that it's it's he so she clearly slows like she's speed i would say she's speeding right when

because i watched the whole video i mean she definitely looks like she's speed i would say she's speeding right when you because i watched the whole video i mean she definitely looks like she's speeding um i can't see any of the other cars on the road so you don't know she's like going up much faster than everybody else she's clearly going too fast for conditions um so he goes to pull her puts the blinkers on so but then there's no like shoulder right there's no safe spot for her to get off so she puts her turn signal on as if she's looking for an exit but no exit appears so she slows down and there's a very noticeable change in her rate of speed at this point in the video um and she puts her emergency emergency lights on right like hey i understand like she's clearly signaling to the officer that you know i acknowledge that you were behind me that that you have your lights on.

And she's like just looking for somewhere to do that safely, which you would think. And he decides to write this up as if she's fleeing and says, like, hey, I've got a fleeing suspect. I'm within my rights here. I'm going to execute a pit maneuver so for people who don't know pit maneuver is when you you use that again as i was talking about that weight in that imbalance that exists in all cars that you know except for the you can still do it but the ones that don't have um some cars have the engine in the rear some volkswagens have teslas yeah tesla's um yeah you wouldn't be able to do it so you know another reason i have elon musk on and so you you use that weight of your engine block to essentially smack the back of the of another car and have it spin out of control now the in the proper setting the car is just supposed

to spin around so that you don't uh so that it can't travel forward and then it stops the vehicle, stops forward progress. What happens here is he attempts a pit maneuver while the car is already close to the shoulder, right? So I, that's one of those, like a Derek Chauvin thing where like, is that how they teach you to do a pit maneuver? Because where's the car going to spin? It's obviously going to smack into the shoulder, which it does does then crosses the

lanes hits the other shoulder head on the car flips it's an suv flips over so already a lot of weight imbalance issues and inherent in suvs uh i used to drive an h2 for this this pro this radio station i worked for and it was like the worst possible thing to ever drive in right i can imagine any conditions and this thing is like wobbling all over like i never the death traps absolutely death traps um but hey billboard on wheels right and so he gets out of the car and he's like strolling up to this thing where you know and it's one of those look i you know i don't know what he was thinking i don't want to describe intention based off a video but looks bad looks looks really bad looks really bad that he does not seem he does not seem very you know uh worried that you know he's just flipped a car over and

potentially somebody could be injured dead or anything and in i'm certainly i'm sure this will come up in the case but he also doesn't seem to perceive a threat because he doesn't and i go back and watch the video he doesn't appear to have his gun drawn he's you know he's not thinking like oh this is some hardened criminal that you know i have to be worried about so his gun's not drawn he's not approaching uh stealthily or anything like that he's just sort of walk like it's the weirdest thing he's just walking it's like he's in shock like he thinks he killed somebody no he seems like indifferent i yeah i would i don't even see that. And again, that's me looking at a couple seconds of video.

I can't tell. I'm not going to try to mind read somebody. I don't think that's fair. The cop was in the right lane, and she had to exit. So she sped up to pass him to get into the right lane to exit, rather than slow down to get behind him to exit. That's an awkward situation where you need to exit, and someone's on your right, and you got to either.

I don't think there's an exit at all in the video. I don't, I don't think there's any exit that comes up. Like there's nowhere for her to go basically. And it's one of those ones where it's like at that point, but if that were me, um, and I know that there's a cop behind me with his lights on,

I would just pull it over in the shoulder. If I really, if I really couldn't find anywhere. Cause I know that, you know, other cars are going to see that and I'm not getting out of my car anyway so if he like really wants me to pull over and there legitimately isn't anywhere to go i would just pull over his shoulder yeah yeah well how about we take super chats everybody if you have not

Shwifty Five. Shwiggity Shwogue. Yes. Boom. Somebody's got taste. That's why Seamus makes funny videos, because he knows what he's talking about. I barely remember that video. I just remember it was like some, I just remember like a little animation.

I just want bang, bang, bang. Oh my gosh, I don't remember that part. I can't recommend it. That's bad. All right, all right. Let's, we got, I'll fight you naked says. What? What? Excuse me? Just gonna start letter letter letter to a woke heart says has anyone at timcast read it it's short anybody read letter to a woke negative who wrote that i don't know i look it up andy stone says ben lee the trucker says hi hi ben

ben's my friend hey there you go nice reality hijack says posa when you're gonna tell bannon to come to the mansion and do a podcast that was the same question i got last time you know he's he's up in new york right now he um he ended up not even coming back to dc so he's stuck in new york and he won't he literally will not leave this hotel i have his mug you have his mug i somehow ended up with literally his mug. That's amazing. Someone who knew him took it from his house or something, and then, like, someone else was hanging out with him and then got it. He did. Big deal, though.

Huge deal. First haircut he's gotten in, like, two years. Oh. He just, just, it's not, yeah, it's not, if you're watching the show, it's not, it doesn't have a back. That's an actual haircut. So kudos to him for that. All right, let's read some more.

Makes me think who is really makes me think who really is in charge. Tim foil hat, please. A Tim foil hat. Nicholas Hooker says, Did you see Ashley Beavitt's family is suing to release the identity of the officer who killed her. Also vote Ciartarelli for NJ Governor. No. I think I did hear that. That was a little while ago, right?

The family was suing? Yeah, I think that the, I know there's a lot of speculation over, you know, is it this officer? Is it that officer? I have to imagine in that lawsuit that name's going to come out. Yeah. I hope so. Jason Q2 says, big ups to cast castle entertaining for sure seeing the pad hoping members events showcase tim's speakeasy and casino gaming operation in

the basement of secret bunker we shall persevere we actually have a poker table yeah but it's like it's the gaming table so if like we're playing magic or a board game you've got like it's a it's a cushion on the edge and you can have a cup holder but i was also think, you know, we'll play little fun silly poker games, and, like, we have tokens for the slot machine in the arcade, so you can, like, win that stuff. Listen, Sky Madison never tells anybody where the game's going to be, but the action's always here, and the action's always here in the Tim Pool house. I just want to mention something.

We're up to 7.7K likes. That's great, but it is not what we agreed to, ladies and gentlemen. Let's get 10,000 likes on this video. It is Seamus' birthday at some point this year. It's going to be my birthday. You know what I'm even more proud of? Not quite, but very proud of? The video that

Tim and I just released where Tim voices Dr. Fauci. It was hysterical. We almost cried laughing recording it. We were crying laughing. Lydia was there. Were there any specific words that came up? Like any one word? Droplets.

Droplets. There are droplets coming from my eyes. You guys have to watch this video. I was very proud of it. Tim and I were crying laughing. And also, for people who support the show at patreon.com slash freedom tunes, you can watch the behind the scenes of us recording crying laughing laughing we use this setup right here to do the vo because like after the show finished i was like oh shamus you have that that vo you want me to read so we just

turned the camera on and filmed it and you can hear shamus being like say it like this say it like this and i'm like okay and then i redo it the whole thing is great because it's like it's like the uh it's like a kid and he's breaking up with dr fauci as if like i don't want you in my life anymore and he's like if you break up with me your grandmother will die and then he's like that's what i'm talking about don't keep talking about you're always hyperbolic don't don't give too much of it away you guys we won't give away we won't give away the surprise and i think there's a there's a sequel the twist right oh yeah we we literally improv'd a sequel right after we recorded it and we honestly i think that was even funnier like this one's really funny but like that one is

funny yeah we i think we were like really crying laughing it was so we were like coming oh we were just like coming up with everything on the spot it was and then as as we were walking away shane was like no i gotta record one more thing he runs back and starts recording again i did yeah and then i was like hold on let's try this to record one more thing. And he runs back and starts recording again. I did, yeah. And then I was like, hold on, let's try this. Like, what if Trump said this? And then Tim came back. He's like, oh, then I'll say this.

Yeah, it was very organic. It was great. It was cool. Well, we'll see. We'll see the sequel comes out. All right, let's see. David Maki says, UAP tech can be built in a garage. Prove it to yourself. You can make a capacitor thruster out of a SI slash graphene wafer and a laser mirror based on

quantized inertia theory and the Mick Becker and bot capacitor thruster experience, EXP. I have no idea. What? Ian! Well, what are you using the laser for? To move it around? I don't know. I don't know.

Silicon graphene wafer sounds cool, though. should we build a surf a surf like like a like a hovercraft where we can fly yes yes because we can build i don't want to call qualified yes i don't want to build a quadcopter have you seen the the flying motorcycle where it's just two big fans and yeah the problem is controlling left and right is difficult that's why people like doing quad but maybe you could do two small jets on the side, kind of like how the flight suits work. So they're not for lift. They're for stabilization.

Right. And then you just have the two big in the front, and you could ride it around. Maybe we just build like what the Hobgoblin had or the Green Goblin in Spider-Man. Yeah. Yeah, we'll just build that. We'll fly around. And then, Ian, you can work on the pumpkin bombs, but we're a family-friendly show, so it'll just be like whipped cream comes out.

Sure. Yeah, it's tasty. And you can throw cupcakes at people instead. That's great. Toss them underhand. That'll be over at Cast Castle. This past weekend, I went hunting for cicadas. I have a gun that shoots salt for bugs, and so I was actually catching the cicadas, and then I was hunting cicadas. He really got into it.

He had the paint on. He did, yeah. I was in a deer blind waiting for the cicada to come out like a belt of cicada heads and then and then he saw cicada in front of him but then one popped out his side making that cicada noise he's like the actual problem is the the bug thing it doesn't actually hurt the cicadas you know it just stuns them it doesn't even it just makes them angrier dude and then they come after you don't want an angry cicada in your hands dude they're screams

they do they scream one landed on me and I was like poking him to get him off and he was just sitting there and I poke him and he was like

meh oh my god it's terrifying so the lively ones are loud and you get a lot of them together a whole swarm

you'll go by like a tree you know I try to do like a bike ride with my kid once a day and we'll go by like a tree you know i try to do um like a bike ride with my kid once a day and we'll go under we'll go under the tree and it's just like and i saw it was so brutal because uh someone here collected a bunch of a bunch of um cicadas in a jar to feed to the chickens and they just got thrown into the little chicken area and city the chicken city and they're just laying on the ground like screaming and the chickens are just massacring them and

like one chicken is like picking up a cicada like shaking it around as it's screaming i'm like you know this is why i don't feel bad when i eat chicken at all yeah it's horrifying wow what's that what's that uh what's that account nature is brutal somebody somebody mentioned in the chat that i am building a zeppelin uh that's that is true and correct the the so uh if you don't know the story for like years wikipedia had a section where it claimed i invented a zeppelin for live streaming which i never did and so it finally got removed because they were like what's the source for it's like one article from the guardian so then i was like just to make a point i'm now going to actually do it. Yes.

And invent it. So they have to put it back. I'm going to retroactively make a fake article true. And then they can like put it back. Living up to the hype. What will they do? They're like, this article was fake when it was written. But then he eventually did do this.

So do we use this article? You will create like a disclaimer paradox where the disclaimer for the original article that they will have run, they'll need to also disclaim. But in the context of a large, like it'll just be an entire writing story. But actually now it's true because he decided to one up us. This is like what the Beatles used to do with the Paul is Dead stuff. Do you guys know about that? Oh, yeah. So it started as just sort of this thing that a bunch of hippie kids at some U.S. college had gotten into.

They thought there were secret messages in the Beatles songs. Yeah, if you play it backwards, it says, Paul is a dead man. I miss him. This is this. But then the Beatles found out about it, and they were like, oh, this is the coolest thing. So they actually started planting secret messages in their songs and you know if you play something backwards and John Lennon was super big into this that and it was sort of like it you know it's is it art imitating reality kind of thing and it just became this whole you know big deal where

all of these secret messages we could put in but I always I always thought it was – that's actually the story that got me into the Beatles. It's like, wow, these guys thought it was so cool that they actually took it to the next level and started doing it because, hey, that's fun. Yeah. All right. We got Quiet Guitarist Fan says, World Economic Forum. You will own nothing and you will be happy. Neo, I need guns. Lots of guns.

Guns are good investments. Yeah, it's true. Functional devices. The store properly came clean they don't lose their value yes the world economic forum not only has me blocked on twitter but they they called me out by name uh the other day uh over some and you're you're blocked by them and i'm blocked but they're calling me out as this like you know this this known purveyor of whatever um because i had to do with the

Macron emails from 2017, which were completely true, by the way. That was an actual, legit leak that we found. But they just labeled disinformation. But isn't that hilarious how you'll find people's actual emails and they'll be like, that's not true. That's disinformation.

Yeah, dude, I'm browsing Reddit. If you look at the front page of all, the leftists, how they talk about Fauci's emails, they have no idea what they're talking about. They've literally not read any of them, don't understand the context. And they're like, there was one email where he said not to wear masks. It was exactly in line with what he was saying publicly. And I'm like, well, that's true. But the real issue is that there were scientists saying early on they thought it was engineered.

Fauci ended up giving these guys grants at some point. What the guy was saying publicly literally the same day was the exact opposite of what he was telling Fauci. There's a lot of stuff in there. So what – that's a type of – I mean it's a cope, right? But the type of logical fallacy of that, it's a false because, right? right so i've created instead of having to actually think through like me possibly being wrong on something i can just allow the cognitive dissonance to take over and the false because will be a shortcut across that to say well okay there was this one but it wasn't a big deal here's why it wasn't a big deal and therefore the right you know therefore because of that all of it is

not a big deal well that's a false because because that only pertains to one. All right. Stoli Clark says, Tim, I'm challenging you and Ian to a game of two-headed giant commander. Also, everyone, regardless of your opinion, you need to prepare for some crazy times. And why don't you people ever talk about XRP? I don't know a whole lot about XRP, but what I can say is, anyone who plays me and Ian a game of two-headed giant commander would regret it. Yeah, you'd get messed up. You'd get messed up

bad. I don't know about that. I think Jack and I could beat you. The level of the decks that Ian and I have are so high, we don't like playing each other anymore. It's like turn one wins. It's just insane. It's like, oh, wow. He got the mana crypt. He wins. Let's just play a new game. I'll consume. Well, who goes first? You win. You win. You roll. You roll higher. I've got the Mana Crypt. He wins. Let's just play a new game. I'll consume. Well, who goes first?

You win. You win. You roll. You roll higher. I've got a Kiki-Jiki deck. It's just absolutely bonkers. I've got Narset's crazy, but that's more about just locking the board down and being silly. But Urza's just nuts.

Yeah, I think if we did Urza and maybe Thassa, that's just... Thassa's just... Dude. Stop town. Rashad and Footpeg with Thassa, and it's like, I win. Everyone sacrifice all your permanents, I win. I'll counter everything they try to do to stop you from winning. Well, if you have Urza and you have all of your board on the table, then maybe the footpad won't get to you.

Dude, two out of giants is the best. We wipe the floor with whoever dared challenge us. That's it. No, I think we would win. You maniac. Me and Jack against you two. We're doing it. Seamus is going to be like, I'll play the Lawn of War Elf, and then Ian's like, I'll

drop my whole board with Urza, and I win the game. I actually don't know anything about this game. I'm just talking smack, because I don't know either. Any opportunity to argue, I'll take it. One of the best card games ever made. I'm like, how does this pertain to the Rosary? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly.

I'm like, I actually won't play this game. June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. That's right. It is. No, it actually is. I love this conspiracy theory. The Physicality Channel says, do we have any proof this is actually live? Yes.

Well, they just asked that question and you read it out loud. I assume they asked it recently. Yeah, wouldn't that be proof? I would think so. Define it. Can I say what it is? Isn't the Super Chat itself proof it's live? I guess they think we get Super super chats sent to us in advance.

We read people's minds. Well, now it's proven for them, but I guess for everybody else. Yeah. I don't know. It's 9.48 p.m. Yeah. I checked the time. Then they're like, you timed that perfectly.

You timed that exactly. You knew. Keep sending super chats and you'll find out. Yeah. Yeah. We should. You know what I'm going to do? I want to design a clock that it'll be like your standard, you standard – what's a clock called that's just like a standard clock?

Because it's like a digital numeric clock. Analog. Analog clock. Analog clock. But I want to have it so that like every five minutes, the arms randomly pull to a different position. Right. What if there was a clock that no matter when you look at it, it always showed you what time it was now? So like if there's a, if the clock was on video

and recorded, you look at it now and it would show now's time. How would that, what? I don't know, it'd be some new technology. Ian, what are you talking about? Like permaclocks or like everclocks or something. Get that orb away from me. That would be a multi-dimensional clock. Would you get over here? That would be a multi-dimensional

clock because if Seamus is watching and someone else is watching, it'd be a different... That's a quantum clock. That's a quantum clock. Who can build this? Ian, can you build this? A clock where instead of actually telling time every five minutes, the arms randomly jump to a different position.

So then during the show, the arms will just be randomly... That's a great idea. You already said it on air. That'd be so fantastic. The audience people are like what's going on like you already said it on air that'd be so fantastic to see it it's just like the audience is like what is going on yeah this is not live how could it be the clock is well we'll we'll start thinking about things like that maybe we can do like wait i shouldn't say any more ideas okay good yeah we've got some fantastic ideas that like if you ever say them on air you'll ruin them like we should miss his clothes just no it It comes back.

All right, all right, all right. Let's read some more. Unholy Prophet says, I'm 30 and I own my own house and my mom lives next door. It's like the show loves, it's like the show Everyone Loves Raymond.

There you go. And I bet she comes over when she wants to borrow a cup of sugar. And she calls you Unholy Prophet. Unholy, you come over here and bring me a cup of sugar and make me cookies.

I gotta say, my mom just got a place um that's uh right down the street from us and with with the kids it's it's great i mean that's oh yeah that is sort of the traditional you know setup right so that it's it's it's multi-generational families live close right you're not you're not just shipping that you know outsourcing your child care to some stranger or yeah exactly you know somebody you found on care.com it's it's great it's it's grandparents it's amazing they love the kids they know the kids it's theirs right and it's i i love it all right we got uh nova zero says antifa are pests not bugs don't eat antifa no protein

whatsoever use pesticides like tear gas. Enjoy. Also, have you seen how big Australian bushroaches are? I have not. I'm sure they're huge. Yeah, Antifa kind of reminds me. You actually have to hunt them with an AR. Antifa remind me of cicadas in many, many ways. They're very loud. The screams, right?

So the screams is a big part of it. A chicken could defeat them. The swarms, right? The swarms that are absolutely, they are an invasive species. They think gender is a social construct. You ever get along with a cicada, dude? Their political opinions are all out of whack. And they will not stop talking about that.

They just read all the time. And for some reason, they can just automatically generate molotov cocktails. Yeah. All right. We got Rob Lurson says, Breaking JBS paid $11 million in Bitcoin ransom to cyber criminals who last week knocked out plants that process one-fifth of the nation's meat supply. Wall Street Journal. Wow.

Oh, that's only going to get worse. The thing that killed me with the Colonial Pipeline was when the CEO was testifying yesterday and admitted that said, well, they asked him, and Senator Hawley, I think it was Senator Hawley actually asked him, why didn't you just go in manually and turn on the pipeline? You guys see this one? And he responded that, well, essentially all the workers that know how to operate the pipeline manually are either retired or deceased at this point. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, it's depressing. We actually didn't have the capability of operating it manually anymore. That's insane.

Yeah, that's not good. I would say so. I would agree with you on that. Yeah. All right. We got Chris Bally says, Tim, I keep hearing you refer to NC as an East Coast state. While it is on the East Coast, it is a Southern state that is very conservative. Most people here have rejected COVID measures,

FYI. I refer to it as an East Coast state because it's very easy to get to North Carolina, from North Carolina to New York. So if New York implements all these restrictions, there's probably a lot of people in North Carolina who are driving up to New York, or even driving through New York. Maybe you aren't going on a vacation or something. It's not like you're in Los Angeles

and it's a six-hour flight. There is kind of this regionalization of the term East Coast. You wouldn't consider Florida an East Coast. How dare you? I live in Georgia, and I consider myself a coastal elite. People wouldn't say that, right? When when they say east coast they kind of mean like mid-atlantic northeast yeah i get it i'm just making a geographical reference because like yeah i admittedly what

is it like 16 hours new york to florida or something or is it 24 yes it's not that bad no it's not 24 no it's like 16 right yeah maybe 18 yeah Maybe 18. Yeah, I've done DC to Florida, yeah. Yeah. All right, let's see. B13SR, what is it? Beezer? I grew up on Rage Against the Machine, and today's kids, my nephews, call me a conservative. Yeah, well, to be fair, Rage Against the Machine today is rage on behalf of the machine. Yeah, that's right.

Man, isn't that funny? The reason I brought up The Offspring earlier about Hit That is because I was listening to one of their latest songs. And it's not overt, but it really does sound like they're pro-establishment these days. Maybe they always were. I mean, it's 2003, right? Or no, no, what year was Why Don't You? Yeah, Hit That was 2003. It was the Bush.

Well, how are we defining the machine? The political establishment, what it's always been. So that's who they claim to be raging against? Oh, yeah, but they're – Rage against the machine? That machine that's what i'm saying rage in the pocket of a video that was like directed by michael moore yeah at one point with rage and they're on wall street and they're like protesting they protested in front of the the dnc at one point they went down cuba i mean these guys were pretty pretty were pretty populist uprising against, quote unquote, the establishment. Yeah. We got Logan Culver says, clearly the culture shift happened when they fired up the Large Hadron Collider in 2008 and ripped a hole in our time continuum.

Yes. Well, you guys should watch Loki because that's what it's all about. You know what, you guys? We're up to 9.3K likes. Not against that. And that's great, but we agreed to 20,000. Oh, we did. That's what I remember. I remember that, too. I distinct likes not against and that's great but we agreed to 20 000 oh we did that's what i remember i said initially i distinctly remember you saying that i said 20 000 i love you guys

let's get us there come on 20k likes and watch the new freedom tunes videos do both you can do both and subscribe at freedom tunes man all right sonny james says like looking at him like how long will he allow me sonny james says like say, politics is religion for ugly people. Biosurveillance, like vaccine passports, forces the individual to buy technology. What better for disease capitalists than data mining you to train robots? Half the cost of immigrants, the pitch is VR. Oof. Wow.

All right, let's see. Daniel Welch says, is the difference in states you described like Brave New World, sterile and dehumanized world state versus degenerate savage lands? I don't know. Yeah, I think there's an extent where Brave New World actually came a little bit closer than Orwell. And I know that's sort of not the, you know, not the quote-unquote, you know, prevailing wisdom.

But when you look at what huxley proposed it was this world not only was it um advanced in terms of technology but it was instant gratification of anything you wanted it was um it was you know free love free sex this totally predates exactly like the counterculture it's 1920s i believe 1925 he wrote that and so you know, free love, free sex. And this totally predates the counterculture. It's the 1920s, I believe. 1925, he wrote that. And so, you know, he got a lot closer. And then so they fly over, you know, quote, unquote, the flyover states. But then you can go and they have these little platforms where you can land on

and sort of look down to people living in, like, what we consider the Midwest now. And that's like a vacation to see how the savages, they call them, call them the savages live you know i mean i completely agree with you it's interesting he actually gets more into the sexual politics which is a huge part of why everything's falling apart oh yeah i mean that's like half the book all right the one free man says would you die not for america as we know it but for the america you know it could be so for the papal states of america because it could be that and i would die for that i've seen so many people die futively that i i'm not really looking to throw myself away yeah i guess that's a complicated question i mean look that's that's clearly a risk that my grandfather was willing to take i think i found the second world war i think there's

something noble about that i'm not a you know when he fought in the Second World War. I think there's something noble about that. I'm not a big fan of the industrial military complex or our current foreign policy, but if there was a good reason to go to war, I mean, I'm not going to sit here and say, I'm so brave and macho, I would absolutely go do it. But I definitely believe there are reasons which warrant fighting, for sure.

As Patton once said, the object of warfare is not to die for your country, but have the enemy die for his. That being said, I know that I'm not someone who currently, and I said this before, argued that I don't think that we are on a collision course with China. But that being said, should the CCP try, trust me, I've been focused on these guys solely for about 15 years right now. I would know how to tear them apart within less than 18 months don't say that on air disney will never hire you now no let's hedge trimmer says the mother of all

short sales is upon us the ape army owns the float by 93 is that for gamestop we'll see what happens that can be big i also did a question about amc right was it isn't apes amc uh i don't know it's just meme i I thought. Yeah, meme cryptos. Or memes. So it's Apes. So that'd be all meme stocks. So if you guys like meme stocks, I did a video called Game Stonks that you guys should also check out at Freedom Tunes. It was all right.

You'd really enjoy it, yeah. All right. Cleft the Misfit says, Tim, I'm going to keep posting this until you read it. Please make a gorilla t-shirt in your honor with a beanie and lettuce hands. I bought AMC. Yeah, I bought back. You're back in. Yeah, yeah.

For a while now. Back on the train. All right. I woke up and I was like, I don't even have anything to invest in. I was like, AMC, I guess. Whatever. Yeah, there are people that are moving on. If you click on Wall Street Bets, AMC isn't even like the hot thing right now anymore.

The people have kind of moved on from it. This is a hive. It's a bee's nest. But I haven't even like the hot thing right now anymore. The people have kind of moved on from it. This is a hive. You know, it's a bee's nest. But I haven't, by the way. I have not. It's a hive. And what they've realized is that when there's high short interest in a stock, it's guaranteed to go up. Right. Just hedge funds are like, we're going to tank this

stock or I'll make money. They announce it, then everybody follows suit and they do the opposite and they're guaranteed to sell the stock at a higher price. It's a win. It's just absolutely a win. So now the whole game is going to shift based on this new meta. The firms are going to stop doing that. They should have kept it low-key so they could keep taking advantage of these firms when they try to do it.

Now that the word is out, they're just going to know it's too big of a risk to short. Yep. Let's see. J. Vaughn Cronin says, I love how Ian randomly gets mad in the middle of a sentence and chills out by the end always catches me off guard i am fire electric light that's so true okay um wrath 4 says more people died in 2020 alone from shoving foreign objects in their bums than people

died from ar-15s in the past five years combined well Well, we should absolutely ban those things. Are we debunking? Has that been bunked? It is being bunked now. We can choose to accept the bunk, debunk, and then if we do debunk, then the other party has a chance to re-bunk. Okay.

Yeah, we should ban all those things. We can always in-bunk. All right, let's see. Let's do a couple more here. Ward Spoh says, no drinks in the damn table ever. Few hundred to thousands in cards. I have stacks of irreplaceable cards.

I get it. Oh, yeah. We have like, I've got an alpha bolt. I like that card. What is that worth? Like a thousand bucks these days? Oh, man. I don't know.

Maybe not. Maybe not that much. But it was like, it was like 70 bucks when I bought it, I think. I'm going to look it up. A while ago. So imagine if somebody just knocks over their coffee or something. Well, it's sealed in a special thing. Is that sealed?

Yeah, but I do have some cards that are worth like a lot. One of my deck has some like... I probably shouldn't say too much about the power of this deck, but it's got some really, really old expensive cards in it. Let's just say he had some collateral for that AMC stock he bought. I went and I was like, I'm going to leverage my Magic the Gathering deck, and they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa. He went down to the bank.

They're like, we don't have a vault big enough to store that. Looks like the Alpha Lightning Bolt's about $500 now. Oh, okay, $500. There you go. Wow. So apparently the Magic the Gathering cards have a higher rate of return, a percentage of return than like the S&P 500. It's raining.

Whoa. Yeah, I heard that. I was like, whoa. Is it raining? Yeah, it's like in waves. And guess who gets to drive home through that? Hey, if the power goes out, it was nice doing the show with you guys. Yeah, we made it.

Yeah. So let's just, we'll do a couple more so we can get to that bonus segment. Ian, use your abilities to keep us online. You got it. Positive energy displacing the clouds. We do have the reserve batteries. Goblin Hands says, Tim, as a truck driver, the truck driver shortage is a myth. They are pushing the autonomous trucks in.

Also, the Chinese own the biggest pork company in the U.S., Smithfield. If they decide, they can shut us down easily. Yeah. Wow. Jamie Gagney says, how's your internet today? I have a Starlink set up to sell you if you want. Check out the jobs email. Can you write that down?

Jamie, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, 100%. Can you do that? Because we would absolutely love to get Starlink. We're on the waiting list. So they announced it's in our area. We paid for it. They said, now you just have to wait, first come, first serve.

So it's like, yo, Elon. Is anybody who's watching know Elon? Be like, yo, hey, Elon. Can you send this guy? He's not going to do a show. He needs Starlink. I'm in the middle of nowhere. I also wonder, can you move the Starlink around?

Because if they just give it to you, can't you just take it and put it somewhere else? Use it somewhere else? All right, all right, all right. That storm is really, really bad.
