Starting point is 00:00:00 It's one of the most ridiculous videos I've ever seen, but not the only ridiculous video I've ever seen, just more ridiculous than the video before it. It is a video of a man with a bicycle and a garbage bag in a Walgreens in San Francisco, and he's shoveling things off the shelf into the bag. Then he jumps on his bike in the store and just rides away. Security guard just films him and then tries to grab the bag and isn't successful. And this is what's happening in San Francisco. The shoplifting has gotten so bad. 17 different Walgreens stores have shut down. CVS and Walgreens representatives apparently said it's like the hub for organized retail crime.
Starting point is 00:00:37 And like I said, it's not the first time. There's another video from, I think it was last year, of women in the cosmetic section just shoveling things into bags. And there's a story from the New York Times from a couple of weeks ago. One of their writers said when he moved to San Francisco, he goes to a Walgreens and sees people just walk in and start grabbing things and walking out the door without paying. And he was confused. Like, wait, what's happening? It was so brazen.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Then he walked into a Safeway. People are grabbing wine and just walking out. And it turns out, I guess, the way San Francisco sees it, paying is optional. They are so overrun with crime, cops just don't bother anymore. And this is what's happening in big cities. We have another more serious story out of, I believe it's Atlanta, where there was a drive-by shooting and the cops just do nothing. They don't pursue the shooters.
Starting point is 00:01:18 They just stand around and then eventually render aid. People are kind of mad. Why aren't you responding? Well, we're not allowed to anymore. So this is what's happening. In a bunch of other places, we're hearing that police aren't responding to 911 calls anymore. And from this, quality of life is dropping in many big cities. And of course, people are fleeing. Well, I guess the good news is the more conservative people from these cities will leave and then maybe help make redder areas
Starting point is 00:01:41 redder or whatever. But the problem is actually that liberals are leaving the places where they voted in these politicians, and then they're moving to the red areas and voting in those same politicians. So we got a lot to talk about. Of course, we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the FBI and the Biden administration's plan to target white supremacy, because apparently that's the big issue, I guess. So, well, joining me today to talk about these topics, we have Emma Jo Morris. Do you want to briefly introduce yourself? My name is Emma Jo Morris. I'm deputy politics editor at the New York Post. Before that, I was in TV. I've been working there for a little bit over a year, and that's kind of
Starting point is 00:02:18 it. Right on. You published that big Hunter Biden story, I guess, right? It was... Multiple effort? No, well, it was a low-key move a couple months ago. But yeah, that is part of my career. I can take credit for that. That's great.
Starting point is 00:02:35 We also have Libby Emmons. How's it going? I'm editor-in-chief with the Postmillennial. Right on. Welcome back. Do you want to just... Thanks. Is that a good enough intro for you?
Starting point is 00:02:43 Are you happy with that? Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm doing. I'm also working on a book about how to make a conservative arts movement. That's coming out with Bombardier Press in the fall. Cool. I'm excited about that. I'm excited about it, too. It's going to be awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:56 And then, of course, come on. I wanted to really say thank you to the viewer who said last night, no need to puke, it's Luke. I really appreciate that. I'm getting a lot of fanfare for being a simple, humble T-shirt vendor, which you could find out more by going to thebestpoliticalshirts.com. And I might start a cult on lukeuncensored.com. So I have that going for me. What is this shirt you're wearing?
Starting point is 00:03:19 Today I'm wearing just two weeks to flatten the curve with Dr. Fauci and our lord and savior Bill Gates. That is always right no matter what. The YouTube moderating police should love this T-shirt as, of course, I am praising the true words that were issued last year plus some months that still do continue to be implemented. My favorite thing about Bill Gates is that he's not a doctor. I think he's a farmer officially. Like, you know, that's what he does. He is the largest farmland owner in all of the United States
Starting point is 00:03:49 and surprisingly has a lot of influence and a lot of money carefully crafting a PR image of himself that yet still hasn't been able to scrub the connections with Jeffrey Epstein. I just love that Joe Rogan can come out and make a comment about vaccines and get everyone in the media just going nuts and screaming, how dare you?
Starting point is 00:04:08 And then Bill Gates comes out and he gives advice and they're like, we love you, Bill Gates. And constantly talks to Dr. Fauci. As we found out through the Fauci emails, there was constant communication between the two setting up a policy for the United States, which I think there is a lot of criticism to be had for. Right on. Agreed. That would be like the definition of oligarchy, basically, right? Pretty much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Yeah. I think that's what's wrong with San Francisco, to be honest. It's a math of wealth disparity. So there's all these poor people, and they're just taking whatever they want. No one can know anything about it. And don't forget, I actually have a big announcement for everybody who may have missed it. We talked about this yesterday. Go to TimCast.com, become a member.
Starting point is 00:04:46 We'll have a bonus segment coming up later tonight after this show. And you'll get access to the members-only area. You may have noticed, if you are a member, there's a weird formatting thing happening where articles are starting to appear in the members-only section. You see, that's kind of bad news, but actually, it's really good news. The bad news is we knew there were going to be some formatting issues because the site is currently undergoing a complete redesign. You can still find all the members only segments when you click it. It'll just ask you to sign in. But you may notice that many of these articles are actually news articles because we are officially getting
Starting point is 00:05:19 the ball rolling on the newsroom. And that means Cassandra Fairbanks is officially on as editor in chief. I know this triggered many on the left. They're freaking out. They're furious. They're outraged. But her articles are very straightforward, very professional. And whatever their opinion is on her opinions, the articles are fantastic. So we're actually going to be using I think we have one two of these articles pulled up. We'll be talking about today. But this is all possible. Thanks to you. We were able to get Cassandra as the editor in chief. We're going to be hiring a bunch of people. There's going to be an independent fact checker. So anybody who's concerned about any kind of bias from any of our reporters, we're going to have someone totally offsite, a different place who's
Starting point is 00:05:53 going to read through and independently fact check. And again, that's with your support as members at TimCast.com. Now let's jump over to that first story. The amazing viral video. Market Watch reports Walgreens shoplifter fills trash bag with stolen goods and bikes out of store. Bay Area retail theft has seen Walgreens close 17 San Francisco stores in the last five years. Look at this amazing photograph. For those that are just listening, I'll describe it. There's a woman and she's like exasperated with her hand up as a security guard is literally
Starting point is 00:06:24 just filming the guy and the dude's stuffing what looks like, what is like a 25 gallon shopping garbage bag. He's just dumping things off the wall. I wonder what he's stealing. What are they like? They're like the eye care aisle, I think. Personal goods.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Personal, personal. That's usually what's behind that little wall. What do you mean personal goods? What's that? Like a deodorant. Deodorant. This dude is stealing all the deodorant. I don't know that he's stealing all the deodorant.
Starting point is 00:06:45 How dare he? But then he just hops on his bike and rides away, and that's it. That's it. That's what's been happening in San Francisco. So apparently there was this proposition back in 2014 that was pushed, obviously, by the Democrat supermajority that would make any shoplifting under $950 a misdemeanor. And at that point, cops are like, well, you know, we're not going to respond to these calls anymore.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Once the cops stop responding, more and more people start committing these crimes. More and more people committing crimes means the cops can't respond to everybody. So now it's just, it's a riot. Like literally, I would describe this as San Francisco is in a permanent state of rioting. It's a permanent state of shoplifting for sure. But, well well or looting
Starting point is 00:07:25 we'll call it looting i think it is that and it's because the police officers obviously aren't going to prosecute these misdemeanor crimes there's nothing for them to go pick these people up and also people are just going to get released as soon as they're arrested anyway so even if they were to arrest people for these misdemeanors, the DA is just going to let them go. It's completely pointless policing. Would you want to live there? You know, I would not, in fact.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Don't you live in New York? I do, but New York is different. Although I will say that the last time I went to Rite Aid and I tried to pick up some gum, it was in a locked box, and I had to take it. It was gum. Gum. Gum.
Starting point is 00:08:09 It was a four-pack, you know, so that's serious money, right? But I had to take it up to the front to get it released from the locked box. Another thing that's really incredible here is that a lot of these stores are closing down in droves. I'm hearing estimates of 17 Duwayne Reeds being closed in California because of the constant theft. Well, there's 17 Walgreens in San Francisco specifically. Yeah, they can't make any money because people are just coming in, taking whatever they want. And then the security guard, I mean, that was the most hilarious part of the video that not many people picked up because it was so awestunning to see. The security guard is literally standing there like, and then the lady next to him is like, hey, should we call 911? see the security guards literally standing there like and then the lady next to him's like hey should we call 901 and and the security guard is like no i stand the security
Starting point is 00:08:50 guard security guards getting paid what like 10 bucks an hour the cops don't support the stores anymore the laws that have been passed are just it's happening every day i'm i'm with the security guard in this one i'd be like back yeah right right. Back in, I think, what was it, 1998, I was working at a hat shop in Philadelphia. I don't even know if there's hat shops anymore, but I was working there. And there used to be this guy who would come in every couple of days and steal a stack of hats. And it was just me at the store. A stack. Like a full-ass stack of hats.
Starting point is 00:09:22 And he'd walk into the store, I'd be like hello again how are you and he'd you know I'm gonna take these hats and I'd be like yeah he'd be like I'm gonna take these hats I was I don't know I was 20 I don't know no wait no yeah and I was like okay well when you take the hats I'm gonna call the police and he's like yes I know you're going to call the police he walked out of the store with the hats i called the police two hours later they show up i'm already closing the store i filed a report i was walking home from work one of the days and there he was on the street with a blanket laid out with all the hats and i was like hey how's it going he was like had that work out for you oh that's amazing yeah and that was it he should
Starting point is 00:10:02 have at least given you one of the first you free. You know, he really should have. My boss, who was this woman who was kind of badass, she was like, you have to go after that guy. And I was like, nah, nah, I'm not doing that. I can't believe your boss said that. I can't possibly do that. I'm 20. I'm high. Like, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Add $4 an hour and we'll tack on security. And then maybe. Yeah. I was working at Sunglass Hut in university and we used to get robbed constantly, but they told us that was a policy. It's like, you don't go after the thieves. I mean, especially
Starting point is 00:10:33 in San Francisco, you don't know if they have weapons. Are you really gonna like the security guard, how much is he getting paid? 20 bucks an hour? He's gonna risk getting stabbed or whatever for deodorant? Is that what you said? Yeah. You don't want stabbed or whatever for deodorant is that what you said yeah yeah you don't want to get stabbed over deal there is zero incentive for the cops and even less for the security guard well so think about this problem i mean how do you how do you
Starting point is 00:10:54 how do you solve it then right i think i think it's it's i think it's you're right the guy's stealing a bunch of deodorant why should i care however if you don't stop this guy what happens everyone starts doing it's a permanent state of looting well and that's what's going on and this Why should I care? However, if you don't stop this guy, what happens? Everyone starts doing it. It's a permanent state of looting. Well, and that's what's going on. And this was a terrible launch. Never have been passed.
Starting point is 00:11:11 I think that's clear. And it also laws like this. I think it was what, like Prop 47 or something like this are completely they go against what the liberals are trying to do anyway because once you have all of these places shutting down you're recreating the food deserts that so many city policies were trying to avoid so who's going to open a grocery store in an area with high crime and then the people who live in that area aren't going to have any food and then you're going to have a food desert and then you're going to have an obesity problem and it's just going to compound actually one of the things I was reading about when the Walgreens started shutting down, elderly people who live in San Francisco can't get their medications anymore because there was one story about a guy who used to walk downstairs
Starting point is 00:11:53 and then walk 10 feet to the, I think it was like a Duane Reade or whatever, or CVS. They closed down because of all the shoplifting. Now he's got to walk miles, like one or two miles, to actually get to his pharmacy now. And it's only a matter of time before they all shut down you know my favorite thing about all this though is one of the remedies to all the shoplifting has been they started putting the items that are getting stolen in lock boxes like my gum well what happened was the item so there's a there's a photo that went viral showing uh like hair care products and the hair care products for black people were in a lockbox. And the ones for white people weren't.
Starting point is 00:12:27 And the left started saying it was racist. And it was interesting because I'm sure the manager and the corporation did not go out there and say, oh, well, you know, we're going to do this because the company is racist and lock up only the ethnic minority hair. They were probably just looking at a list
Starting point is 00:12:41 of like things that were getting stolen and said, if it's getting stolen, lock it up. And some guy who has no idea what's going on just goes, okay, product 17 and product 34. Now, to stop the shoplifting, they're all racist, I guess. The other thing, too, is that because so many of these stores are just corporate chains, you don't have anyone who's working at the store who really cares what goes on at the shop. Yeah. It's not like a local pharmacy that's run by a family or whatever who's going to actually care about what happens there. Well, I think another aspect we're not really considering here is maybe the guy thought it was an Amazon cashless store and was just walking out.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I mean, that's also a possibility here. With his mask on. It was a mask for COVID. He was just trying to consider it. But in all seriousness, I remember being in San Francisco two years ago investigating the crime that has been happening there. And it's been slowly escalating ever since. I remember walking and just talking about the poop on the street, which there's an exorbitant amount of people literally taking a crap in the middle of downtown San Francisco. I remember reporting on this walking by.
Starting point is 00:13:42 And there was a woman screaming on the top of her lungs, running across the street, jaywalking. There was police officers behind me as I was doing the walk and talk. Police officers heard this woman scream in the video. You can see this right now, youtube.com forward slash we are changing San Francisco. And then the cops just decide to walk the other way. And I'm like, what the hell am I experiencing? Where literally people are, some would say right now that they're vaccinating themselves in the middle of the streets. They're not doing that. I'm sure that's what it is. Just trying to be, wearing masks because of COVID. I don't think they're that available.
Starting point is 00:14:15 I think they're injecting something else into their veins in the middle of the street. But it was like a zombie apocalypse wasteland two years ago. And now to see these stories and see it escalate and to talk to people who were there. I mean, we're talking about the center of tech entrepreneurs. We're talking about Silicon Valley. We're talking about some of the richest, most influential people in the world who voted for this now having to deal with the ramifications of this. Here's the best part. During the lockdowns, we couldn't go
Starting point is 00:14:45 to the bars. We couldn't go to churches. There was no water cooler. There was no conversation. You couldn't see your neighbors. If you were going to see anything in the news, it had to go through Twitter and Facebook and YouTube and whatever big tech platform. If you wanted to buy a book, it had to be on Amazon or you had to go to probably just Amazon, to be honest. And these people from San Francisco are regulating the opinions on these platforms, which means the worldview that created the nightmare dystopia that is San Francisco, it's being perpetuated through these platforms. Even right now, even with the lockdowns being lifted
Starting point is 00:15:18 and our ability to go out and see movies and talk and hang out, still, for the most part, our opinions are set through this filter of the big tech oligarchs. You look at how they run where they live. Their opinions should not be the ones we're propping up. But that's exactly what's happening. So it's only a matter of time, to be honest. Well, and these are also people who didn't ever consider ethics.
Starting point is 00:15:37 They're only considering algorithms and things like that. They've never looked into the actual effects of what they're doing. And nobody ever taught them how to do any of that stuff because we completely depleted our educational system so that what do you do you major in marketing and memes which okay that's interesting i suppose but it would help to have some measure of philosophy and understanding of political discourse and perhaps history that isn't entirely filtered through the lens of whether or not it's racist. I feel like a big component is it's it. Well, I'll put it this way. It's funny that there's some capitalist criticism. But then we also have this very serious problem of critical race theory
Starting point is 00:16:15 ideology in our schools. You on one hand have college where it's like, a large component is ridiculous jobs that are just for making money. But now colleges are being taken over by ridiculous majors that have nothing to do and will never make money. So you could either have the one extreme of, like you said, studying memes because memes make money for advertisers or whatever. Or critical race theory and gender sciences and studies, which don't produce anything for society. Hey, there's nothing wrong with memes, okay? I love the memes. Memes are cool. Memes are amazing. But also,
Starting point is 00:16:46 another thing we have to understand here... It's probably the best major you could actually get. It's probably the most useful one that you could actually get the best money for your bank. It's a component for marketing, right? But a lot of... So we had a problem for a while where a lot of jobs we had were pointless. Like the internet gets invented
Starting point is 00:17:01 and then... I mean, look, no disrespect to my friends who work at fast food, but a lot of these cashiers are being replaced by kiosks. Well, they're being replaced by kiosks in part because the minimum wage is going up to fifteen dollars an hour. And McDonald's, for example, doesn't want any part of that. So thanks, Joe Biden, for eliminating a bunch of entry level jobs that could have taught young people how to have a job and show up on time. There's also the issue of unfettered immigration, creating low skill competition for those young people how to have a job and show up on time. There's also the issue of unfettered immigration, creating low skill competition for those young people. And then the young people actually don't end up working these places anyway.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Then they're told by their parents to skip these jobs and go straight to college. Then they get indoctrinated with ridiculous ideology. And then they get out and they're like, why can't I get a job in a newsroom with a gender studies degree? And it's like, because you're an idiot. Did you see the thing now where the CBC, I don't know if you follow the Canadian Broadcasting
Starting point is 00:17:49 Company, but they've decided to suspend all commenting for articles on Facebook because they don't want their reporters and journalists to feel bad when there's negative feedback for their stories. It's such the stupidest and most fake argument. I'll tell you this, right? There's a bunch of stupidest and and most fake argument i'll tell you this right there's a
Starting point is 00:18:05 bunch of stupid like cringy leftists who are tweeting outrage that cassandra has joined and she's going to be running the newsroom i don't care i'm like dude you like you guys you'll literally get fired by your boss in two seconds if you say like fart you know what i mean you just went off and were screaming at this ap reporter who got fired for having bad opinions and you know what i'll eat this one. I was actually saying, well, maybe AP shouldn't hire her. And now there's equal criticism to me because Cassandra certainly got feisty opinions as well. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:32 So maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we just don't have – you have your reporters focus on – if they're going to be opinionated on one thing, maybe they should cover something else. So I'll take that criticism. But how are you going to come out,lor lorenz who uh i don't have the biggest issue with but i understand why people are upset with her and the things she posts for the new york times she's she complains all day and night about journalists getting harassed and how it's wrong especially women journalists and now what i've got cassandra and she wrote she's written five articles they're all very straightforward regular news and the left is
Starting point is 00:19:03 screaming like it's the apocalypse, digging up her old tweets and posting them and tweeting at me. I'm like, is this a harassment campaign? Because, you know, when you come out and complain that we tweet at journalists and then you tweet at me, you think I'm going to have any sympathy for you? No, you all are nuts. Well, the thing is, it's not the thing on the
Starting point is 00:19:20 left about uplifting women and not attacking or harassing women. That only stands for women that share the same leftist ideology it doesn't actually mean that there's support for conservative women Emma Jo I think that you've probably seen this as well well of course I mean I remember like when we were doing the hunter stuff you know we were talking about it and and I was thinking about you know obviously what the backlash would be and I was thinking about it and and i was thinking about you know obviously what the backlash would be and i was thinking about it and i you know check all these boxes for the people that kind of you know
Starting point is 00:19:52 come after you with the pitchforks and and i was thinking okay i'll be home free because i'm exactly who they would want to uplift you know and i'm breaking a story and it's a big story and i'm a young woman and uh you know i'm an immigrant and which story was it specifically just for people who don't know i broke the hunter biden laptop story um that was my scoop and i went through the laptop and i wrote all the articles uh leading up to the election that got the new york post uh kicked off twitter and facebook so i broke the internet basically i i can just imagine that all of the Democrats were cheering, like here's a prominent female journalist proving that, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:31 shattering the glass ceiling. I wasn't going that far. I wasn't going that far, but I was thinking that they wouldn't attack me personally. You know, I obviously figured they would go after the story, but I figured that I kind of fall into a lot of their protected classes that you often see. And I wasn't expecting that the backlash would be so personal because of that.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Oh, dude, these people, man, they're nasty people. But listen, but, you know, what you were saying about Cassandra, I don't know about her opinions or nor do I care because it shouldn't really matter. It should be about the work that she does and what she produces for you, I would think. And that was something that came out from the whole thing with, you know, after we broke the internet and after, you know, the New York Times came after me and Washington Post and Joy Reid and NPR and whatever, you know, all the polite people. And the Post didn't even wince, you know, that not only were they expecting it and not only did they not care, but they were just kind of looking at the story on its merits and uh whatever the people were looking at on my instagram of pictures from when i worked at fox
Starting point is 00:21:30 you know that was one thing that they were pulling up that i'm a you know a trump apparatchik because i used to work at fox and i had all these pictures from when i just got out of school i was like 23 and i was meeting all these trump people who were coming to fox and taking pictures and posting them and that was supposed to be proof that I was like a political hack. And, you know, the employer didn't care because at the end of the day, it's like, what work are you doing? And if we're going to appease like a Twitter mob that, you know, they come and go like the wind. And it's you can't you can't run a business that way. And and that's why canceling trying to cancel me personally didn't work.
Starting point is 00:22:01 And that's why I won't work. And it won't work with any business that doesn't bend to it because if you just don't care it just passes like a storm right right i think conservatives also need to stop thinking that these people have legitimate complaints so for whatever reason i think people on the right anti-establishment whatever you want to call it because there's certainly liberals who are anti-woke anti-establishment, whatever you want to call it, because there's certainly liberals who are anti-woke, anti-establishment as well, although many of them are becoming conservative. They seem to think that these people maybe are just misguided and that if we just have a conversation calmly and rationally, they'll change their minds. That's just absolutely not true.
Starting point is 00:22:38 It's just not the case. It is so divergent right now. The political factions in this country, there's a bunch of different ones. Some are aligned with others. But the gap between those people who are screaming at you and calling you a Russian agent or whatever and sane, normal people, there's no bridge. There's no words you can say. There's no convincing them. And many of them probably know they're nasty, evil, disgusting, vile people. They are trolls who go on.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Look at Chrissy Teigen, for instance, right? Teigen or whatever her name is. She had that tweet where this guy was begging her, please take down that fake post. I never said those words. And she's like, too bad. You're a racist, and I'm going to watch you burn. They know they're evil.
Starting point is 00:23:17 They know it. Well, they think they're entitled because they think that they're right. And they think that they're right because they never examine their views. They don't examine the undercurrents that are holding their perspectives in place. And they would find that they're not there. I mean, these liberal ideologies are like shifting sands. You know, you stand in one place and then suddenly you're somewhere else because nothing, there's no stability underneath these. There's no foundations to it so if we're not consistently and constantly examining our belief systems to try and understand what we believe and why you know i say this all
Starting point is 00:23:51 the time then we then we have nothing and we have nothing at all i don't think it's a belief system i wouldn't i know i don't think it's that sincere i think it's a it's like a character it's a personality it's somebody who's ready to take a bludgeon and hit whoever's in front of them. I mean, come on. This isn't like about morality. It's about it's about having like Chrissy Teigen. It's about having the right to push somebody around and get praise for it. But like you said, it's like shifting sands. There's no continuity. There's no like. I think they just think there's no. You don't think so. I think they think that they have a moral superiority about it. I think that that's a shroud. Yeah. That's something that's used to like get props for what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:24:34 But I think underneath that, it's just more about control. And and I don't want to use the word. Yeah. It's about bullying. I think arsonist. Yeah. Yeah. They take pleasure in destruction. So those direct messages that got released showing Chrissy Teigen's messages.
Starting point is 00:24:53 The story, I guess, basically is this guy was accused of being racist because someone photoshopped him saying, I guess, the N-word. And Chrissy Teigen. That's okay when you're Hunter Biden, though. Right, right, right. Well, so Chrissy Teigen posts an image, I guess, on Instagram or something like that. He messages her saying, please, I never said those things. It's a fake photo. Like, this is destroying me.
Starting point is 00:25:12 And he was having suicidal ideation. And she's just laughing. She's like, ha, ha, ha, I don't care. Screw you. You're racist. You deserve it. But he didn't actually say those things. She doesn't care.
Starting point is 00:25:22 She comes out later and admits, yeah, I was a troll. I was screwing with people. It is what it is. These are just evil people who enjoy watching others suffer. I don't think it's even evil. I think it's like an insecure husk. You know, like if you think about like who does that? It's people who need a source of like feeling good about themselves that doesn't come from anything other than kind of like imposing whatever they're doing and then getting likes for it.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I mean, watching someone suffer and laughing about it, that feels evil to me. Well, a lot of this is... That's actually the definition of mirth. Yeah. Mirth is taking joy in someone else's pain. A lot of this is also surrounding narcissism and ego. And what we were talking about earlier, these social media algorithms that incentivize it and and reward it if you look at what gets promoted what gets talked about what the algorithm pushes
Starting point is 00:26:11 on the general public it's usually drama it's usually fighting it's usually putting someone down and it's promoting the larger divide and conquer agenda that makes people want to attack each other and not really truly look at the true cause of their problems in their lives. So I think there is an element of evil. Cats torture animals for some reason. There is an element of just that. There is an element of business incentive, knowing that you're going to get more followers, more retreats, more likes if you do start that drama. And I think there's also even a bigger agenda, possibly even above that, pushing people to hate each other and fight each other that also, again, psychologically people are doing without even knowing that they're doing it themselves.
Starting point is 00:26:51 There's this viral thread from some crackpot guy who's like, fascism is back. Here's proof. And it was the story about Ron DeSantis banning critical race theory in Florida. And then he just creates this weird version of reality where what ronis hentz is doing is comparable to what the nazis did i guess which makes no sense and then he just like he's like the nazis were banning you know knowledge and books and this is it it's happening and it's like bro you guys have been banning books for years like amazon literally bans what's at burning books and and they these people genuinely are freaking out waving their arms and they are screaming
Starting point is 00:27:24 that fascists are taking over it is kind of funny when you think about the right, when they were like, ah, the cultural Marxists and the communists are taking over. And it's like, you know, the thing is, there's an objective reality. And if you read CBS, if you watch CBS and Fox News, you'll get a hard dose of reality and say, huh, I kind of understand what's what's happening. The thing is, conservatives, according to at least once a day, I cite a million in one time. I've cited a million in one times. Conservatives do read about a third of their news from mainstream liberal sources. Moderates read about a third of their news from conservative sources. Liberals, 95 to 100 percent of their news comes from liberal news sources. That's exactly what happens.
Starting point is 00:28:05 I mean, when I talk to liberals that I know, the ones that are still talking to me, which are not that many, I'm mostly just in my family. They don't really have a choice. But anyway, yeah, they don't see the same news that I see at all. There's just no – there's nothing to connect it. It's hard to watch. There was this guy who got – he's like a Call of Duty gamer, I guess,
Starting point is 00:28:24 and someone – he tweeted a video about something political. And he was like, this is crazy. What's happening? Someone said, hey, you should watch like you should read Glenn Greenwald, Matt Tybee and watch Timcast. And then he said something like absurd about me that was based on grifters who were like pull clips from the show, take them out of context and then repackage them. And there was a story about Democrats and segregation or something. I can't remember exactly which segment they were talking about, but he said, it's not true, it's clearly a lie, and I won't even watch the video.
Starting point is 00:28:49 And then I mentioned something about Democrats, even at the federal level, signing on to repeal the anti-racial discrimination policies from their constitution in California. All of these Democrats, even at the national level, were saying in California, all of these Democrats, like even at the national level, were saying to California, like, yes, we agree with you removing your anti-discrimination provision in your own constitution so that they could implement racial policies in universities, which is that we've seen segregated dorms. We've seen race-based selection for schools. So I always tell people what the Democrats want do with with universities is there's a kid whose skin is too much of one color and you know so they tell him you can't go to the school you look too much like those other people that's
Starting point is 00:29:34 literally what their plan is this guy responds with well why haven't i seen that story well because you're not looking for it guy well if all you're reading is fake news yeah like at this point it is so painfully obvious that the mainstream media is just like more than half lies i'm not gonna say it's all lies there's a lot of really basic stuff i mean we're reading a lot of this news right now clearly the video the guy shoplifting that story from market watch is a real story you can watch the video but when it comes to politics it's just word vomit they just make up trash well they are making up trash and i think that you mentioned desantis banning critical race theory in schools and that gets picked up by
Starting point is 00:30:11 you know your attacker joy reed and other people by saying you know and they're saying that uh they're banning the actual teaching that slavery existed and you know and it's like none of that is true and if you actually look at the bills that are that are coming up in these legislatures, they're saying things like you cannot teach that one race or ethnicity is better than another. Right, right, right. You know, it's like doubling down on actual anti-discrimination policy. And the thing, too, is critical. You know, another thing that's coming out now is this idea that critical race theory is not being taught. And the left is like, no, critical race theory isn't being taught. That's not what's going on. And no, critical race theory is not being taught. It's being embedded in pedagogy. It's being completely, you know, linked in with every aspect of curriculum so that you can't take it out. It's not that it's being taught. It's being indoctrinated.
Starting point is 00:31:02 There's a difference. No, the thing that's such a troll now is like, Nicole Hannah-Jones, or is that her name? 1619. She's on Twitter like, this is why. Because it's starting to be banned. And that's now proof that it's all true. But you are completely right. It's indoctrination.
Starting point is 00:31:22 And so if they want to teach about critical race theory, great. Why are we teaching fifth graders about an academic college-level theory? What they're actually doing is teaching the ideology of it. But more importantly, like you were saying, when they come out and they're like, no one's teaching this. Technically, they're telling the truth. They are telling the truth. There was this really great meme image I saw. I shouldn't say it's a meme.
Starting point is 00:31:44 It went viral. It was an image from a workbook from a grade school. You know the old trope of the school math question? A train leaves Pittsburgh traveling at 70 miles an hour. Yeah, I saw this.
Starting point is 00:31:56 A train leaves Cincinnati traveling at 40 miles an hour. If they're this far apart, how long until they crash or whatever? There was this problem that was getting shared around. And it showed a picture of a white guy and a black guy.
Starting point is 00:32:09 And it said, John is a white man who has been stopped by the police three times in the past year. Harold is a black man who's been stopped 394 times. What's the percentage of times the black man has been harassed by police? Something like that. That's indoctrination. It sure is totally unrelated things that are using the the the cult ideology in in just like you were mentioning right in math problems that are unrelated that's how they get they get around it's in math problems it's in art classes it's in history it's in literature it's in
Starting point is 00:32:41 literally every aspect of it and when they're done with you know embedding critical race theory and everything uh they're also and they're also pushing in um climate alarmism as well not to take anything away from climate change being a thing but teaching kids what opinions to have before you give them facts about what's going on is that's indoctrination you know you know when it comes to the climate change stuff i think the global elites are about what's going on is that's indoctrination. You know what I think? When it comes to the climate change stuff, I think the global elites are betting on winning because they're buying beachfront property. So they're basically telling everybody like,
Starting point is 00:33:14 hey, if all of you give up all of your luxuries, we'll save the world by the beachfront in Miami. Because their bet is if we make all the poor people own nothing, we get our private jets, we get our yachts, we get our beachfront property. That's the plan, baby. There was a hysterical thing that happened yesterday where in New Zealand there's a, what is it, schools, schools, climate strike, school strike for climate. It's like the Greta Thunberg thing and there's branches everywhere.
Starting point is 00:33:43 So the Auckland branch of the school strikes for climate decided that they were going to completely disband. They were formed in 2019, but there's too much systemic racism in their group of eight to 18 year olds. So they've decided to completely disband, stop dealing with the climate thing at all and only uplift the black indigenous people of color who are working to do it. So all the white people are like, you know what? We can't possibly do this work because we're not you. So y'all do this work and we'll pump you on social media, okay? And that's how we know we're anti-racist.
Starting point is 00:34:18 That's amazing. It's like we burned down your neighborhood in riots and we think you should rebuild it because it's yours. It's yours it's yours you guys deal with it you guys know better than us so we're gonna go sit over here i we you know worthless white people we we got problems man it's not even like like that's new zealand you said right yeah well you know new zealand is a disaster jacinda ardern with her like global censoring the internet project that she's trying to get
Starting point is 00:34:45 everyone on board with because of the Christchurch we we are lucky that we have a constitution in this country otherwise we'd be dealing with the same fate as Canada which is just like a randomly arresting people or the UK what is the UK doing more lockdowns they announced more lockdowns when their deaths have been going down and they're extending it, which is absolutely absurd. Was it like four weeks or something? Yeah, they're at a four-week low. It continues to go down. But the U.K. government still is like, well, we need to lock down more because of this Indian variant, which, again, doesn't correlate with the hospitalizations, the cases, and the numbers. A lot of this is, in my opinion, more about control.
Starting point is 00:35:20 And when we look at the lockdowns, when we see the larger effects of them, we don't see any efficacy. We don't see any scientific data showing that they actually helped, especially with states like Florida and Texas disproving a lot of the big data surrounding this particular case. But what did the lockdowns do? They helped out the billionaire class because the billionaire class was allowed to be open. Amazon, Walmart, Costco, whatever other special interests, business as usual. You run a church, you run a business, you're screwed. And then another thing that happened, there's this horrible video, I tweeted it out today, and it's
Starting point is 00:35:53 heartbreaking of a father being arrested in front of his children because he practiced his religion in Canada and held religious services. And seeing videos like that infuriate me because it also plays into what we were talking about in the beginning of this broadcast, these huge waves of violence that are taking over major cities, not just in San Francisco, Atlanta, New York.
Starting point is 00:36:16 But hold on. That point you made about the guy getting arrested. Remember when the pandemic first started and we saw those videos out of Wuhan where the Chinese authorities were dragging people out of their homes. And we were like, wow, China's crazy. And then it happened in Canada like hundreds of times. Australia. In Quebec it happened.
Starting point is 00:36:33 It even happened here in the U.S. And it's happening right now as we're speaking. It happened in the Jewish community in New York City. Yeah, as Florida's doing huge open concerts, 12,000 people at the Bitcoin conference. Canada, you can't even have a religious service, which is absolutely infuriating. And when police officers, a lot of their time, a lot of their resources were spent directly at shutting down businesses, at shutting down church services, and they did it happily. And at the same time, what did cities like New York City do? They released violent criminals onto the street. The resources for the policing went towards innocent people.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Innocent people were sent to jail, were prosecuted, were punished for doing everyday average things. And now the United Kingdom is saying we need more lockdowns. So what you're saying is abolish the police? I think there's a discussion to be had, especially when it comes to policing, and I'm not afraid to say that. I think we definitely need to have that conversation, especially what's happening in Atlanta. There was a drive by shooting. There's videos of police officers standing by and deciding not to intervene or do anything because the mayor banned them from even doing pursuits in the city. So there's a report from Michael Tracy about all of the ridiculous COVID fines that police were
Starting point is 00:37:45 writing for regular people for nonsense. There was one story, I think it was out of New York. A Jewish guy, he had, his store was closed, but he opened the door for fresh air. And then the cop comes, or the health official is like, we're going to write you a fine. He's like, why? I'm closed. I'm like, door's open. Sorry. It was interesting.
Starting point is 00:38:02 A year ago, because the churches were all closed, I think it was in Pittsburgh, ago because the churches were all closed i think it was in pittsburgh a church group decided to hold their service in walmart yeah that was amazing it was so infuriating to watch as all of the corporate like we were talking about luke all the corporate interests got to keep their businesses open and the little shops closed down in my neighborhood like a ton of little shops are gone. Yep. And it's sad to see. The Rite Aid is still there with the gum in cages. They got people to worship the Lord in Walmart.
Starting point is 00:38:32 They sure did. That is... Okay, I'm sorry, man. You could not have written a future Nightmare Dystopia that bad. What do you think? Because when they were writing 1984, they were like, well, people are still practicing their religious ceremonies you know in private well not really 94 was like worship big brother but at the very least man we we could we could we could go for a
Starting point is 00:38:55 nightmare dystopia where we go to the corporation for our religious ceremonies because the only place the government allows it's like wally yeah that movie was so prescient yeah man i think you know honestly it's uh it's it's mike judge is a prophet yeah idiocracy that was amazing too idiocracy we we had did you ever see am forester i mean it's not a film but he wrote a book called the machine stops and it basically it takes place in the future he He wrote it in what, like, I think 1911, 1918, somewhere around there. And everybody lives in their own little box. Everyone lives in their own little cube. They interact with each other through what's called the machine. They deliver speeches to the machine. They react to each other's lectures through the machine. They
Starting point is 00:39:42 ask the machine to bring them things. The machine brings them, you know, someone to sleep with and then takes their children away and puts them in a different little box. The earth is uninhabitable and they don't know how to interact with one another. It's like being in a chicken coop. It kind of is, except it's also kind of like COVID lockdowns. Yeah, man. Idiocracy. So what? So what? have uh donald trump as president he's literally in the wwe hall of fame he is he actually is yeah he actually is the actual individual of donald trump donald trump is in the wwe hall of fame he was the president of the united states and like comacho and idiocracy is like this wrestler so not one for one but so much of that seems to be coming true and it's it's it's rather nightmarish but But, you know, it's not completely – obviously the movie is very different.
Starting point is 00:40:28 But there's funny things to point out about it. I'll tell you what's really disconcerting is when you look at the policies coming from Democrats, the ideology coming from the left, the things they believe. Like which one – I think, Libby, you were mentioning this. It was a shifting sand or was that you, Emma? Like shifting sand beneath them. Yeah, you were saying this. They have no real moral framework or foundation. It's just whatever is convenient for them to own the cons, to gain some kind of victory.
Starting point is 00:40:56 There's no morality. There's no framework. It is just literally, in my opinion, is fire. Our country, our culture is a house made of brick and stone. We built it over a long period of time. We got some weird rooms in this place, that's for sure. And then along comes new ideology that just starts burning and destroying these things. There's no real rhyme or reason to their ideologies other than we're right and we want power. But it's just like one thing that's, I mean, there's so much of this that you could have never predicted. I mean, I remember talking about some weird virus that's going on in China in January and seeing some weird videos.
Starting point is 00:41:30 And, oh, but that, you know, won't actually come. You know, they've had SARS before and it hasn't come. But, yeah, so, you know, there's been so much that you really couldn't predict standing here now a year ago. But the thing that I find really striking is people's willingness to go along with whatever. I remember just having my jaw drop hearing the stories and understanding that Wuhan was allowing international flights, but not domestic flights in China. Hearing that, I was like, wait, what's going on here? I remember hearing about the Wuhan laboratory. You talked about it automatically cut on YouTube, on Twitter, on Facebook, just utterly deleted. And the control of social media,
Starting point is 00:42:07 I think, you know, you kind of talked about it a little bit, talking about how unethical they are and how, you know, they're just doing things for profit. And I think that this deserves a larger conversation because they essentially are the ones that are controlling communications, controlling so many important aspects of our life that if it was free, if information was free-flowing, we could have dealt with this in such a way better fashion. But we judged our information, right? We judged it through the lens of ideology.
Starting point is 00:42:39 So instead of saying, like, here's some information, let's look at it objectively, let's measure it against reality, let's have an open discourse, we measured it against our concerns that saying the virus was from China was racist. We measured it. Not Trump. He called it the Kung Flu. Well, that was. And they told you to go to the Chinese Day parade in New York City. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:01 I mean, you had Bill de Blasio and Nancy Pelosi both saying, come out to Chinatown, stop being racist. You had them saying that Trump was overblowing the virus and then so quickly thereafter saying that he wasn't taking it seriously enough. And it turns out that I think HHS under his leadership was dealing with it in January. But we don't look at reality. We don't look at information objectively. We look at it through the lens of, you know, our political priorities. And that's a real problem. And that is a problem of leadership specifically. But it's also a problem for us who keep voting for these people who don't have any concern other than maintaining their own power base. But I even think that's like too meta, you know, like human functioning and like human cognition has existed longer than like the internet controlled our
Starting point is 00:43:49 communication. And people like, you would think that there would be some level of like functioning and thinking that goes outside of the prism that like big tech and the media present information to like, you know, we were talking about how draconian it got and you know for instance i i got a trespassing ticket during covid i will admit trespassing trespassing um for playing squash in a park um wow because you know in new york they closed playgrounds and i needed to exercise and i wasn't about to just run around in a circle on a track i wanted to play with the racket so i hopped a fence to a squash court and got caught by police. So you're confessing right now.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Oh, I've already pleaded guilty and paid my ticket. So I'm home free. But no, but, you know, so I got this ticket for trespassing, playing alone in a park in a gated space. And I was nowhere near anybody. And there was no infection that was happening at that moment and i got and i was thinking about the ticket and i'm like is there not no capacity or for nuance to distinguish between something that's dangerous and harmful and something that's not like the the how reticent people are to go along with something that makes
Starting point is 00:45:03 absolutely no sense for the sake of just being like a bot for, for our like ruling class, I guess it's just like that. But we were talking about COVID. That was something, and that has nothing to do with the media or with tech that has to do with your own judgment. But it also has to do with how far you have to be pushed in order to fight
Starting point is 00:45:20 back against something. Right. Most people pretty much just want to live peacefully. They just want to take their kids to school. They to get dinner on the table they want to relax on the weekend and so until the point comes and we were talking about this before until the point comes when you can't get dinner on the table yeah and unless you're pushed past that breaking point what you're going to do is you're going to do your job and you're going to get dinner on the table and you're going to try and take care of your kids and that's what you're going to do well i i'm i'm i'm uh
Starting point is 00:45:47 i don't know what the right word is i'm skeptical that the same things that led to say the arab spring or traditional revolutions we've seen it with food will have a will have the same role particularly because millennials don't have kids it's really really easy to feed person. But a lot of these revolutions, it's because food is becoming too expensive. Why? Well, people have children. So when it comes to the point where your kids are being threatened,
Starting point is 00:46:13 a person will go to great lengths to protect their children. Monos don't have any. I mean, well, they do, obviously, but they're disproportionately less. They've got things like cockapoos and all of that. Yeah. What are those little Pomeranians? They've got Pomeranians.
Starting point is 00:46:28 They look like... Little yappy things. Little yappy things. It is... I will say, though, that the stuff shortage in the U.S., I think, is getting worse. I only have one child, but my grocery bill keeps increasing by something like $25 or $30 every couple of weeks. Yeah, it's crazy. So my normal grocery bill for like, you know, your basic trip to the grocery store, a little bacon, a little pasta and some fruit, whatever.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Who cares? This would be like $50. And now I'm up to like $125 for the same stuff. We went to a local grocery store and I was just getting some basics. I can't remember what we were going to make. I think we're doing like a taco night or something. And it was like $300 for not even that much meat, sour cream, you know, avocados. And I was like, this is a mistake. And then I was like, everything was just, it added up. And I was like, well, this is mind blowing to me. Like, how did it get so expensive? We didn't have a full cart. I'm buying way less meat than I used
Starting point is 00:47:24 to. And it's not like I was buying that much of it. But now there's just like one night I'll make my kids some pork. There is there is something interesting happening, though, in terms of you were talking about like the indoctrination about people just willing to go along with whatever is being said. Something interesting happened with the story from Timcast dot com. Jon Stewart shocks Stephen Colbert in rant about lab leak being the most rational explanation for covid. I don't know if you guys saw this, but Jon Stewart appearing on The Late Show with Colbert had Colbert on the defense. Colbert trying to stop Jon Stewart, who is basically just going off saying he's like, you come to me and tell me there's a novel coronavirus that's released and you want to figure out where it came from. Why don't we ask the lab that literally works on the novel coronavirus, where it may have came from? And when you ask him, hey, where did this
Starting point is 00:48:13 come from? They go, maybe a bat mated with a pangolin. And you're and this is Jon Stewart. He gets up right into the camera. Colbert desperately tries to make it seem plausible that it wasn't China. This is what freaks me out. A lot of people have been saying like, oh, they think we've been infiltrated by China and their influence has taken over. Mike Pompeo said the Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated every facet of government from city to local, to state, to federal government. And then you see this.
Starting point is 00:48:41 Why is Colbert so desperate? He's like, maybe the lab is there because of all the bats bro there's no there's no there's no bats there they got the bats from hundreds of miles away john stewart is right yeah now i think this is interesting i don't know if john stewart will actually be a wake-up call for regular liberals maybe but john stewart is is interesting he's like he was frozen in carbonite almost. He's like the Han Solo of our generation, right? Back when he was still on the show, he was honest. He praised Project Veritas for their reporting.
Starting point is 00:49:11 He would criticize Obama when Obama was deserving of criticism. But he was a liberal. He was a Democrat guy. Not necessarily a Democrat guy, but he was a liberal. He leaves. Now he's coming back in the limelight with a Twitter account. And all of a sudden, the left is calling him a Republican. Colbert says, when did you start interning for Ron Johnson?
Starting point is 00:49:30 Right. That's creepy. That's creepy level tribalism that Jon Stewart doesn't exist in. Yeah, it was interesting, too, because the backlash on Twitter was so severe against Jon Stewart saying things that are not only completely obvious, but have been obvious for a long time, and that the Washington Post recently had to completely walk back everything that they said about the lab leak theory. I'll be fair to Washington Post. In May of last year, they ran an op-ed talking about lab leak. However, as soon as the Republicans started saying it, Tom Cotton, they were like,
Starting point is 00:50:04 oh, this is a conspiracy, and y'all are nuts. Their take on today's issue was pretty telling. They wrote an article, an opinion piece that was titled John Stewart's rant is a reminder. Don't rely on celebrities for COVID-19 theories. Meanwhile, this is the same media publication that a few months ago had a headline article saying Dwayne, the Rock Johnson urges fans to wear masks after he and his family get COVID-19. A real kick in the gut. I mean, obviously these people don't have any morals, don't have any
Starting point is 00:50:32 objective stance on issues. All of it, a lot of it is power, a lot of it is ego, but a lot of this is sociopathic, insane criminal behavior, in my opinion, because what Jon Stewart said made absolute sense. He brought and concluded facts that people were talking about for a very long time that have been censored away from the general
Starting point is 00:50:49 public and Stephen Colbert I don't know what they did to him but they did something because if you remember his show even on Comedy Central he was hinting and pointing at issues that were pretty poignant that were pretty populist that were pretty important I remember even talking to him about Bilderberg which he knew a lot of things about extensively. And now he's literally doing commercials for big pharma, promoting the vaccine. In one of the clips, I don't know if it was yesterday or the day before, but he released a video of him dancing around with singing vaccines, telling you how you need to take the COVID-19 vaccine because it is safe, it is effective. Johnson and Johnson are our heroes. Pfizer is going to help you. Literally,
Starting point is 00:51:30 it's a sick, disgusting clip of him dancing around and saying, if you're one of my family members, you don't take this vaccine. You're not welcome to any of my events. It was repundant, to say the least. But this is a man that literally just it looked like he was doing a commercial for Pfizer look it's it's it's weird how the left has become instantly pro big pharma when they're always very critical of it they've been pro big pharma for a while I think I mean you can see the establishment I guess yeah I think they have been if you look at go ahead oh I was gonna say um when it comes to the vaccines the biggest issue I take with celebrities giving medical advice is that they're going to write articles saying, don't do it, right? They're saying,
Starting point is 00:52:09 oh, Jon Stewart is exactly why I don't listen to celebrities. Colbert's literally doing it. I have a friend who is dealing with nerve damage because what we think happened was he was given bad medical advice. I guess what they're saying is that you need a doctor to tell you if you can get the vaccine. For most people, there's no issues. But if you've had COVID within a certain time frame, there may be an adverse reaction. Don't ask. Don't come to me for advice.
Starting point is 00:52:34 I'm telling you a story about my friend. You talk to your doctor to get sound medical advice, right? But I'll tell you this. My friend didn't get that advice. He's now learning about this after the fact, and he's dealing with nerve damage in his arms and legs. I'm not trying to freak people out or playing any conspiracy or anything anything like that i'm just saying maybe you shouldn't go to stephen colbert or joe rogan for your medical advice maybe if john stewart wants to make a political point about a lab in china has nothing to do with whether or not he's advising you to take medication yeah they want to come out and claim that joe rogan
Starting point is 00:53:01 for for making his comments about vaccine saying if you're young, this is what Joe Rogan said. He said, if you were young, you shouldn't get it. I don't think Joe should be giving advice. I don't think Dr. Fauci should either, because regular people have very specific medical needs their doctor needs to inform them of. So if Colbert is going to come out and do a commercial for big pharma and vaccines, it's on the same level as Joe Rogan doing the same thing. You need to talk to a doctor.
Starting point is 00:53:23 And if you don't like their opinion, you get a second opinion, you get a third opinion. And I always tell people this. Make sure you're not getting a political opinion. I think that's important. But I do think that the left has been shilling for big pharma for quite a long time. They're very interested in promoting all kinds of drugs and turning children who are gender dysphoric into lifelong medical patients. This has been going on for quite a while. They were pushing the antidepressants for kids and pushing the, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:50 focus medication for kids. They've been doing this for decades. How can anyone trust Big Pharma after the opioid epidemic that ripped through and destroyed middle America that is still causing severe effects? I mean, but it's not just the Democrats. It's also the Republicans. I mean, Donald Trump wanted to call the COVID-19 vaccine the Trump scene. And he's the one that authorized emergency use of this. He's the one that pushed for this. He's the one that wanted,
Starting point is 00:54:15 you know, to be congratulated by Pfizer. But you also had Kamala Harris and Andrew Cuomo both saying in the fall that they were skeptical. They were skeptical of the vaccines. And then as soon as Joe Biden becomes president, you know, everybody roll up your sleeve. Can I just read a story for you guys? Go for it. This is from The Guardian. Friday, 23 May 2003. Bayer division knowingly sold HIV infected protein. So I'll put it this way.
Starting point is 00:54:43 Look, I'm not a doctor. I don't have all the answers. I can't tell people what to do. That's why I always say you got to go to a doctor. There are a lot of people that tell me like, oh, I don't trust my doctor. And I'm like, dude, if you don't trust your doctor, then I don't know who you trust. Like you go to a different doctor and you don't trust them. The fact is when I go to the doctor and they prescribe me some weird name, I don't know what that is. I'll Google it or look it up because ultimately you're responsible for your own health. But we're talking about massive multinational corporations and they're more concerned with their bottom line. They don't
Starting point is 00:55:10 exist to save you. They exist to make money and sell a product. When we can look at history and see Bayer knowingly sold HIV infected protein, I think it's fair to say you're not, you're allowed to be skeptical of massive multinational corporations. Well, you should be skeptical of that, of course, across the board, no matter what it is that they're selling. They're criminal institutions. If you look at some of the big pharma agencies, I don't even want to mention it because I don't want to get anyone in trouble, but if you look at some of the
Starting point is 00:55:34 big pharma agencies that are behind some of the medical procedures here, a lot of them have been previously charged with bribery, corruption, have been heavily fined, and have been caught buying off doctors to push for policies along with politicians that mainly benefited them. And when you look at I mean, a lot of people really do not understand the severity of the opioid epidemic and the level of horrendous, horrible addictions that it caused all throughout middle America. And that story is underreported significantly because if you even just drive around, you see entire cities with doctors that were paid off that absolutely ravaged and destroyed them from the very up.
Starting point is 00:56:15 I got to read the story. Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt, but Luke brought the story before we started. From ABC News, 899 people got expired vaccine doses at times square site health officials say 899 people received expired covid 19 vaccine doses okay they just repeat the headline but anyways from the eights from abc news reporting from the ap and that's basically it they say atc vaccination services the company that administered the shots under contract to the city said in a statement we apologize for the inconvenience to those receiving the vaccine in question and want people first and foremost to know that we have been advised that there is no danger from the vaccine they received that's good news
Starting point is 00:56:51 i think what they're saying is that basically it's just ineffective like because it was expired people basically just got the expired part was like it was thawed for too long is that the idea i don't i don't know exactly well maybe but the the reason i read the story is i don't like the idea that we do these like in front of 7-eleven medical you know uh procedures it's like there's a reason why you go to a doctor and ask for advice they go to school for this they're not perfect people they're regular people but they specialize in certain fields yeah you don't like their opinion you can always get a second opinion but when you show up to one of these like this was a pop-up in times square that was the former nfl experience
Starting point is 00:57:28 this is literally it and and the employees there couldn't look at the expiration date which is on the product i mean that just how can you people have trust i i think tim i think you're on to something too you know like you're saying you know it's it's important to have a relationship with your doctor and it's important to consult your doctor and make a decision. You know, that's, and this is coming from a Canadian, you know, I think Americans, there's a certain decadence to the superiority of the American medical system from any other in the world. And, and it's, I think it's lost on a lot of Americans, you know, big pharma, and I'm not disagreeing with anything you're saying about the opioid epidemic is horrific. And there have been so many, there have
Starting point is 00:58:09 been so many issues with Big Pharma. And I'm not like, you know, I've heard the stories, and I'm not discounting them. And that's important and fair. But there's also a level of personal responsibility that comes into taking medication, you know, and I'm not blaming people who are addicted to heroin for their addiction to heroin. But, but, I mean, well, I should and i'm not blaming people who are addicted to heroin for their addiction to heroin but but i mean well i should say i'm not blaming what all i'm trying to say is big pharma big pharma is important big pharma cures cancer big pharma you know finds polio vaccines too you know they're not just pushing a sketchy, rushed – Well, that was Salk, right? And he gave it away for free, didn't he? He did, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:48 He did not hold that patent. There's something to be said for a privatized drug industry because the amount of R&D, the amount of – the breakthroughs that come out of the United States are what keeps the rest of the world afloat. There's something to be said for that. You're right. Just weighing what you're taking, but not necessarily demonizing the people, just making whatever and trying to sell it.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think, you know what? I'm going to walk by those statements and say, Big Pharma is our friend. We should never criticize them ever in any way. I just, I'm kidding. I don't mean that. I just mean that they don't deserve all the flack.
Starting point is 00:59:21 You know, they do save lives. They deserve to at least be held accountable, and they haven't been, because they've been getting slaps on the wrist and just know they deserve to at least be held accountable and they haven't been because they've been getting slaps on the wrist and just small fines compared to their profits for the horrible things that they did yes they do some good things but but when you allow big companies to get away with such horrendous treacherous acts where people who are unsuspecting people who are trusting people who believe in the establishment get punished the most for it you need some ramifications where the executive who made sure that the HIV strain got out there
Starting point is 00:59:49 because he wanted to make a buck, that he goes to jail. Not that his company gets a slap on the wrist, gets a little bit of money. He needs to be personally held responsible for his actions, and none of that has happened. So you don't think pharmaceutical companies could be like limited liability companies? Are they? What is the law regarding pharmaceutical companies? Big Pharma has companies are they what is the law regarding big pharma has no liability when it comes to this vaccine so if you you take it you get hurt all the responsibility afterwards is on you as an individual that's a corruption exactly yeah and there hasn't been any big ramifications with that entire industry that
Starting point is 01:00:22 that have been significant and that's why they keep doing it and unless hold them accountable, they're going to do another opioid epidemic because they got away with it in the first place. A lot of this, I think, is also on the insurance companies. Of course. And we've seen a complete decimation of the whole health insurance situation with the ACA because I don't know if you guys have ever bought your insurance on any of the um you know aca exchanges but it's like every year you buy a plan and then at the end of and then you like try and figure out what doctors take it you try and figure out what your deductible is which is usually ridiculous you can't actually ever get to a doctor it takes a long time to get an appointment and then the following year it turns out your plan has been discontinued and you have to buy something else yeah and every time you
Starting point is 01:01:03 have to go through a whole qualification process. Like I was trying to buy insurance this year and it turned out to be like they want income verification. And I work for a Canadian company and I'm like, I don't even have what you want. Wow. Yeah. That's weird. Yeah. The whole system was a mess.
Starting point is 01:01:20 My sons and they were like, oh, this is connected to your son's, you know, state plan because he's on like Child Health Plus with New York State, which I'm happy about. But now they're trying to link that and they're like, I need income verification for that. And I'm like, no, just insure my kid. I'm paying you. Well, let's jump to the bad news, I guess. There's more bad news. Oh, yeah. It's a different kind of bad news for all the people that think, you know what?
Starting point is 01:01:44 I don't live in these cities. I don't care what new york does i don't care what california does i've been saying that i'm like hey look i live in the middle of nowhere well here you go everybody the blue state exodus americans fled new york and california for republican states of arizona idaho and the sunbelt to escape lockdowns and skyrocketing crime. So the people who voted in these crooks and criminals and the Democrats who bring about failed policies and all those who overlap will now be coming to where you live and voting for those exact same things.
Starting point is 01:02:15 They are going to vote the same. And I think this goes back to what I was saying, because I will stand by this. I think that the liberals have a sense that they have a moral high ground. I think they believe in their morality. I don moral high ground. I think they believe in their morality. I don't think. I just I don't think so. I think they do. I think some maybe. I think that's the ethos. I mean, I don't know about, you know, for example, Joy Reid or whoever else in the media,
Starting point is 01:02:37 but individuals that I speak to who are on the left are pretty sure that their empathy and compassion based approaches to, you know to politics and whatever are exactly right, that this is the moral perspective to have. I disagree. I think they're paranoid, delusional psychopaths who hold different paradoxical moral views that make no sense, such as— They do make no sense. I'm not saying their moral baseline makes sense. There's no moral framework
Starting point is 01:03:05 like no, it's not effective, but no, no, no, no, no. There's no I don't think I mean, I don't think you can say they believe things that contradict each other because then one contradicts the other. Like when they come out and say, stop Asian hate and we need to end these things. And then you point out that the specific attack, their highlight. So, for example, they did a march to end white nationalism because a black man attacked an Asian guy. That's correct. How can you have a moral framework when they're like, it's... There was an article that came out shortly after that
Starting point is 01:03:34 that defined, you know, a black person attacking an Asian person as white supremacy because of ingrained white supremacy. I'm imagining trying to build a system of morals. Whether it's logical or not. That's what makes it a religion. It's not logical. I understand what you're saying about belief, but I don't think belief is the right word because if you show them a picture of a blue cube and say, what color is this? And they say red. And then you say, close your eyes and open your eyes say, what color is this? And they say red. And then you say,
Starting point is 01:04:06 close your eyes and open your eyes. Now, what color is it? They say green. How do they believe it's both red and green at the same time when it's blue? You see my point? I mean, are there four lights? I mean, it's like it's not it's not belief. It's like it's it's it's it's something else. It's zealotry. It's blind faith that whatever they're doing makes sense even when it doesn't. They don't believe one thing. They don't believe that you should stop Asian hate when they cheer for the beating of Andy Ngo. That's correct. They don't want to end white nationalism.
Starting point is 01:04:33 But they think they do. I don't. Or maybe even more, they feel they do. The reason I disagree, I agree to a certain extent. But if the thing they believe in changes every minute, how can you say they believe it? Because I think they do. But how can they? So it's like if you ask them, do you think saying how can people have the kind of cognitive dissonance that makes them believe in a complete moral fallacy? No, no, no. How can you say someone
Starting point is 01:05:00 believes that Asians are oppressed when literally a minute after they say it, you ask them again and they'll say they're not oppressed. So clearly the second time they say something totally different, contradicted to what they said before, they can't believe the first thing or the second thing. Or they're just not actually thinking anything through with any kind of framework. So there's no belief structure there. That's what I'm saying. It's literally just my tribe.
Starting point is 01:05:21 I don't think it's a structure. You're my enemy and I will fight you. I think that there's a righteousness and I think that there's a feeling of moral superiority. I don't think it's a structure. You're my enemy and I will fight you. I think that there's a righteousness and I think that there's a feeling of moral superiority. I don't think it checks out. I think it's actually much more simple. They don't believe anything other than you are the enemy. And if you approach them and say anything that falls outside of their cult, they'll just say, no matter what it is, I'll agree with it if it means I'm opposed to you. Right.
Starting point is 01:05:43 But how are we supposed to have a dialogue with these people? You don't. But they're half the country. Aren't we pretty much split? It was like 75 million voted for Trump and like 81 million voted for Biden or something like that. So how are we supposed to deal with this? I mean, do you really think that we're looking at a future where we're going to have an America that's divided? Yes.
Starting point is 01:06:04 I mean, we already are. Why can't We try and imagine a better future than that. Well, I think there's realism and idealism. We have the story we literally pulled up is that people are fleeing states for other states. What's happening in a lot of ways, if you look at like New York during the pandemic, is that the wealthy people of means flee to the suburbs and they flee to red red states. Now, many of them may actually start and probably will start voting for Democrat policies. But the people in California who like their tribe and their strange moral shifting sands will stay there. Gavin Newsom can violate all the lockdowns, can be found in the fancy restaurant with
Starting point is 01:06:40 no mask on, and they stand by him simply because that's what they're supposed to do. Fauci can change his answer every other day and he did and they'll stand by him because our tribe is the right tribe the divide is becoming so insane that right now you there's no agreement on what reality even is no there's that's very peculiar you you ask someone on the left no one even knows what the what men and women are anymore. Exactly. And I go to my friends and I'll say, I see a post on my Facebook from someone I've known from when I was growing up in Chicago. And they'll say, look at this insurrection in D.C. and all that. And I'll talk to them and say, I hear you.
Starting point is 01:07:16 It was bad. What's your opinion on the Antifa BLM riots? And they say, what riots? Literally a year of people in every major city and even small towns smashing up windows and they're like, I don't know what you're talking about. That's not true.
Starting point is 01:07:28 That never happened. Stuff is still going down in Minneapolis, I think. It is. Absolutely. Drive-by shootings. Seattle, Portland. But I think there have been
Starting point is 01:07:34 like riots and stuff in Minneapolis recently. Yeah. Portland, Seattle as well. Yeah. I mean, just even coming in, I saw like there's a bunch of demonstrations
Starting point is 01:07:41 in Midtown Manhattan and police are like on Twitter, stay away from the demonstration in Midtown Manhattan. In my opinion, what's happening right now is sort of what happened in Orwell. And I think this is planned, organized insanity chaos where the ruling elites get order out of chaos. And just like in 1984, they had people admit that 2 plus 2 equals 5. There's literally people arguing on Twitter that 2 plus 2 equals 5 right now because math is sexist. And that's not even a joke.
Starting point is 01:08:05 And I actually had your article that you mentioned up, ready to talk about this before you even brought it up. And this was an article that Yahoo News published that was titled, White Supremacy is the Root of All Race-Related Violence in the United States. And it says in there, quote, So when a black person attacks an Asianian person the encounter is fueled perhaps by racism but very specifically by white supremacy white supremacy does not require a white person to perpetrate it it's a cult yeah it's insanity well that's it like that's what i'm thinking like it doesn't there doesn't need to be continuity in it right because like people have this yearning
Starting point is 01:08:43 to like be part of something and people have this yearning to be part of something bigger than them and it doesn't always need to have all the answers in order to provide those services for what they're looking for like this is way more than a political ideology this is like a lifestyle this is like a mindset it's a religion a community it's a religion absolutely like it's serving all the purposes and like if you talk to somebody like and i'm not like if you talk to somebody who's really religious and you show them you know dinosaur bones right there are a million different answers depending on who you talk to that justify and reckon wrecked reconcile the religion with the dinosaur bones even if it totally undermines what they're saying right
Starting point is 01:09:21 it doesn't matter they were put there to test us exactly that's common and so you know and at least religion comes by it honestly at least religion is like i'm a religion but this is different because it's a political ideology and it has to do with wielding power and it has to do with policy and it affects all of us like at least religious people are chilling like they're not bothering you the catholic church certainly used to be like that though i mean fair mean, fair enough. But I mean, Quebec especially, right? Oh, definitely. Yeah, no, of course. But I just mean, like, this is a Democrat. Like, this is a major party.
Starting point is 01:09:51 Now, I'll put it this way. I grew up in an era when the moral, religious conservatives were, you know, pushing religion and pushing this ideology and it wasn't this bad. Because I'll tell you this, as much as I can say,
Starting point is 01:10:07 I believe in a separation of church and state, I don't think we should have religion in schools or whatever. One of the problems we have right now is that the cult of woke, whatever those people are, it doesn't even matter what their moral framework is
Starting point is 01:10:18 or what their beliefs are. They don't have one, by the way. It's shifting sands. But it's just whatever their tribe says is right. It's right no matter what. It is a religion. And how do you separate what their religion is from government and from schools? The other thing I'll mention is, at the very least, the moral framework from the Judeo-Christian values that have created a lot of this country, they provide for innocence until guilt is proven.
Starting point is 01:10:46 They provide for a lot of the rights that we have, God-given rights. Now, I'm not a big fan of any specific religion or theism or anything like that, but I can certainly look at one religion where they're like, okay, you get a Fifth Amendment. The other group, the other religion says, we don't care if you're guilty or not,
Starting point is 01:11:04 we're going to burn you at the stake. That's actually the joke we make about the Salem witch trials. What's the Monty Python thing? If she floats, then she weighs the same as a duck and also a wood. It made no sense. They were condemning you without due process. If she floats, she's
Starting point is 01:11:19 a witch, and if she drowns, she's innocent. Well, that was the actual thing. If she drowns, she's innocent. What they that was the actual... Yeah, that was the actual thing. If she drowns, she's innocent. What they're doing now with cancel culture, they've become religious moral zealots. And it's interesting, too, because if you... Like, without the Enlightenment, we never get rid of slavery. Another thing we should acknowledge here is that the Bible
Starting point is 01:11:37 is currently being written through social media algorithms. And I do think social media algorithms are making people go insane, and that's another aspect we really have to entertain here, because ever since we had the onset of social media algorithms. And I do think social media algorithms are making people go insane. And that's another aspect we really have to entertain here. Because ever since we had the onset of social media, we had self-harm, suicides, depressions, anxiety, panic attacks, other mental disorders drastically go up. And I think, you know, we're trying to understand the madness. It's madness. It's insanity. It's people who are not well off, who are off of their rocker, who are saying if a black person attacks an Asian person, it's white people who are responsible for this, which is utterly crazy to even think about. It's people arguing two plus two equals five. Literally, these people are not right in the head. along with what society expects of them, what is planned by them, by the elites going to school, going into their indoctrination camps, going in through watching the television, paying attention
Starting point is 01:12:29 to social media, and not even getting a point of view out of that control grid that is shaping these minds to be where they are right now, where there's people talking about fatphobia being racist, there's toddlers twerking in New York City, a place where six people were shot last night. And the mayor right now, his major initiative is regulating scooters. Let's talk about where this... I mean, come on, those are really annoying. I love scooters. Let's talk about where this ideology leads us.
Starting point is 01:12:57 The one thing, though, I would like to say is that so all of this woke religion comes after the decimation of mainstream Christianity. And I think it shows us that society wants religion. Yeah, definitely. Society wants a religion. And if we don't actually embark upon the creation of religion in a reasonable way, we're going to end up with complete batshit madness. Well, let's talk about where we end up. And we might end up with that anyway still.
Starting point is 01:13:23 We have the story from Fox. Multi-state shooting spree was racially motivated. Suspect was targeting white men. Gunman allegedly said, I had to have him, about one of the shooting victims. What happens when you have a psychotic and irresponsible or corrupt
Starting point is 01:13:40 media infrastructure where many of these people know they're lying? How do I know they know they're lying? Because I worked for some of these companies. I've spoken with the higher ups of these companies who flat out said, this is what we do. We just side with the audience. Give them what they want to hear. You end up with paranoid, delusional, psychotic individuals. And you end up with people whose lives are garbage going on a shooting spree, targeting white people simply because he says that all my life,
Starting point is 01:14:09 my problems were caused by these white people, their bullies. So he just had to go out and do it. And then when you see Black Lives Matter burning down buildings and destroying cities, the media lies about it. When you see Antifa engaging in a year-long campaign of mass destruction and rioting, low-level terror across the country, the media lies about it. And then what do you get from your federal government? You get U.S. lays out plan to confront white supremacist violence.
Starting point is 01:14:36 What? I read CNN and Fox News, okay? I read all these left-wing outlets and right-wing outlets, and I couldn't tell you how many times there's been literal white supremacist violence. I mean, I couldn't tell you specific instances. I could name tons of different instances where the left is engaged in overt political terroristic violence. Oh, I get it. What's that, Reuters?
Starting point is 01:14:58 They have a picture of the Capitol. What else do you have? That's it. Yeah, I mean, a lot of times, too, these things that are labeled as white supremacy, there's no evidence of white supremacy. And the only way that you can say that the left can claim that they're white supremacist
Starting point is 01:15:14 is by going with this idea of unconscious bias. So we don't have any evidence that says, you know, Chauvin was being white supremacist when he killed George Floyd in Minneapolis last year, but this is now touted as a white supremacist thing the people who were involved in the capital riot most of them were what like bankrupt primarily this is what we're seeing with I was mentioning this this crazy guy who's like screaming Rhonda Sanders banning critical race theory is is is fascism oh geez they're conflating classical liberalism with fascism on purpose any authority that is that that can be used as an example of fascism will be even when it's not authority is
Starting point is 01:15:54 not bad it's not it's not inherently evil exploitation of an authority of an authority position is a bad thing but a cop issuing issuing an arrest? No. If you violate the social construct, the agreements we have with one another, then you face the penalties of that. That's the thing. Like, if you read, like, the really, like, woke rags that talk about this stuff, the way they define white supremacy
Starting point is 01:16:18 is, like, really innocuous elements of Western culture, like being on time and like objective yeah like objective thinking objective reality yeah it's considered to be white supremacy no literally no but the thing that like just triggers me so much about this is like growing up after 9-11 and like watching this happen with islam where where like wahhabi islam was conflated with Islam, and then that was used as a precursor to do whatever, like, the Pentagon and, like, intelligence agencies wanted to do wherever they wanted to do it, and we were all freaked out and didn't know what we were looking at and believed them and trusted them and kind of gave them carte blanche to do whatever.
Starting point is 01:17:02 And this, like this just totally triggers me because it brings me right back to listening to newscasts in 2002, 2003, and I can just hear it, but you've switched out the terms and I feel like we're careening toward carte blanche on Western culture instead of the Middle East. We're being gutted of Instead of the Middle East. We're being gutted
Starting point is 01:17:25 of core classical liberal American values. This play from the Biden administration to target domestic terrorism is that they're just going after, they're like, we're going after militias. What they've started doing in the media is they started saying, if you are a right-wing group
Starting point is 01:17:38 that believes in bearing arms and being a militia, you're white supremacists. Even though it's ridiculous, many of these guys just are like, yay, America. Now the federal government is going to start spying on these people and going after them and bring the war on terror to our soil. That's exactly what I was getting at.
Starting point is 01:17:52 And we're going to end up with mass surveillance of Americans. We already had that. And the war on terror is literally turning domestic right now as we're speaking. Glenn Greenwald wrote an article today that is titled The New Domestic War on Terror Has Already Begun, Even Without the New Laws Biden Wants. And what you brought up about this latest operation, a multi-agency operation by the U.S. government, it's also going to be working very closely with social media companies. And their main goal is to ID, prosecute, and to deter white supremacy and militia members uh and and again those are extremely vague
Starting point is 01:18:27 terms who do you consider a militia who do you consider a white supremacist we've seen those terms bastardized we see those terms almost become meaningless because of how many times it was used on absolute nonsense and and did the government specify exactly what groups what specific individuals will be targeted here? Nope. They're keeping it very vague, which means that they could use this big power grab to do whatever they want,
Starting point is 01:18:51 and that's exactly what they did with 9-11. They used this whole war on terror objective to go after the American people. They set up the infrastructure. They set up the jails. They set up the cameras. They set up the gun pointed at the American people, and now it looks like they're going to be acting on it.
Starting point is 01:19:05 And it should terrify people, especially with what the ATF is doing as well. And also, it makes you glad that Mitch McConnell kept Merrick Garland out of the Supreme Court. Because he's going to be out as soon as Biden's out. But if he was in the Supreme Court, he'd be there for the rest of his life. That is absolutely 100% correct. I think we need nonviolent civil disobedience and mass noncompliance. What does that look like? That looks like people in conservative areas not spending money on companies that hate them, that support any of this stuff.
Starting point is 01:19:34 So you're calling to use leftist tactics against the left? Is it a leftist tactic to be like – Mass corporate boycotts? I mean, I don't see any problem with that. I don't think it's a leftist tactic. No, I think it's interesting because we were looking at this with regard to critical race theory, too. There was an article in NBC today about how parents groups are basically funded by dark money and conservative think tanks. And that's why they're going after school boards to try and get rid of critical race theory in schools.
Starting point is 01:20:01 And they're sort of decrying this. And it's like, yeah yeah we're using your grassroots tactics now that's what we're doing yeah i don't think it's leftist though uh because i don't think it as i don't i don't think of it as an organized effort i think it's quite literally just don't buy a coca-cola i started i jokingly bought rc not that like the parent company for rc is i didn't buy those i did yeah why did you buy those breaking Breaking the rules. I just ate Coke, sorry. No. You see, this is the problem. Coke literally has woke indoctrination, and when you go to the store, you just don't care.
Starting point is 01:20:33 And so what happens is we're passively – I bought RC Cola, and I bought a small business like Pure Cane Sugar, not a hyper-dosed corn syrup trash. I just wanted Little Pops. They're cute. So there's also Pepsi over there, to be honest. But this is the problem. Coke can do it, and conservatives just don't care.
Starting point is 01:20:53 They don't care, and they're willing to keep throwing their money at people who hate them. Well, it's kind of hard. I mean, honestly, I agree with you, obviously. I totally agree with what you're saying, and that's fair. You know, you vote with your dollar,
Starting point is 01:21:04 but it's just exhausting to be so wound up all the time you know it's exhausting to have to think about that and like keep up with what like at one point i wanted to boycott netflix i forget what my like grievance was at the time it was a couple years ago and no no it was way way predated mouth i donouth? I don't remember. They produced some kind of, like, something that I figured was propaganda and decided I was done with Netflix. And it's just exhausting. Oh, was it the Cuties? Is that what you just said?
Starting point is 01:21:33 No, no, no. Way before. But, and, like, you know, you start kind of, like, building up a repertoire of companies that you're just not dealing with anymore. And at a certain point, you end up just kind of hurting yourself. Just giving in. Just giving up and giving in. That's exactly what happens. Yeah, it's exhausting. Yes, the fight against tyranny is exhausting.
Starting point is 01:21:53 And I guess most people eventually just say, I'd rather not fight at all. Please, master, just give me a piece of cheese and I will do whatever you say. That's what's happening. We watched our government shut down and destroy small businesses, mass
Starting point is 01:22:09 print money devaluing our own savings and then we were forced to shop at big box stores and Amazon while our opinions were filtered through the machine of social media with insane garbled nonsense. I will say, living in Brooklyn in a heavily immigrant community
Starting point is 01:22:24 I was still able to shop at local businesses that were owned by families in the neighborhood. Yeah, that's a good thing. The pandemic and I appreciate that. What we're trying. So a lot of people are like, Tim, why are you still on Twitter? Then look, we're trying to leverage the networks to the best of our abilities to get people to go to Tim cast.com to build a website to hire people to build stuff there. Basically, I'll put it this way. It is the exodus. We're not going to just cut off our nose to spite our face. We're going to say, okay, we will use what we can of the system we have, but we're packing our bags and
Starting point is 01:22:55 leaving. That's part of the process. That's why we're setting up more and more at TimCast.com. That's why we're doing our own original articles because I'm trying to get away from the broken system and build something on our own it's not something you can do overnight but we can get started okay so to be fair maybe you don't start by boycotting literally everything on the planet but stick to it
Starting point is 01:23:15 I cancelled my Disney Plus because of the thanking of the Xinjiang paramilitary group that has the Uyghur Muslims I'm like I'm not going to support that granted unfortunately to be completely honest I paid for a year up front Xinjiang paramilitary group that has the Uyghur Muslims. I'm like, I'm not going to support that. Granted, unfortunately, to be completely honest, I paid for a year up front. But I don't have Netflix and I don't have Hulu.
Starting point is 01:23:35 I'm just, I'm done. Like Hulu did something about cultural appropriation. And there was a period where I was like, I'm not going to boycott. I don't care about this. I don't want to get involved. And then I changed and I said, look, if your company wants to get involved in the culture war, by all means, go ahead and do it. I'm out. I don't want to play that game.
Starting point is 01:23:56 So I bought, jokingly, RC Cola, but RC's parent company, I believe, signed on to the statement about Georgia's voting laws. It's really hard to get away from. The thing with the voting laws is infuriating because you have celebrities coming out and the full president coming out saying that these are jim crow laws and if you actually take a look at the bills they are merely rescinding the pandemic era you know allowances to make voting easier specifically due to pandemic restrictions so it's not that they're jim crow i mean obviously they're not jim crow laws and they, they're not Jim Crow laws and they're not limiting voting. In fact, in several of these cases, they are expanding early voting. They're just pulling the things that are ripe for fraud. They're just taking more and more. And unfortunately for the right or whatever you want to call it, left and right is meaningless in a lot of ways.
Starting point is 01:24:42 The left, we'll use it as a tribal signifier, is just really good at this. And the right is really, really bad at it. Well, it's because we've ceded culture to the left and that has to stop. I mean, it's like you were talking about. You're making your own culture. You're making your own cultural products. The Daily Wire is doing that.
Starting point is 01:24:59 The book that I'm writing is about how to make a conservative culture movement. And I have a lot of great ideas on how to do that. I'm actually is about, you know, how to make a conservative culture movement. And I have a lot of great ideas on how to do that. I'm actually super excited about it. But this is what people need to be doing. Look at Gina Carano. You know, she's out there just like, I don't need your I don't need your Mandalorian. I can do my project. We need to get to the point where we can be self-sustaining with our own versions of products that work. Maybe the solution is someone should start a cola company that's not Coke
Starting point is 01:25:25 and they can call it Conserva Cola. I don't know, something dumb and really obvious. And Twitter can go create their own Nigeria. Absolutely. There you go. I understand the problem is that, yeah, when you try to make your own Twitter or network, we try to escape the system and build your own companies. They come after you and shut you down.
Starting point is 01:25:39 Yeah, we've totally seen that. We started a vlog, Cast Castle. And the way I explain to people is it's very simple. We got a video where we're, like, skating in the garage garage skate park there's a gadsden flag in the background that way some young person who's watching the fun skate video with some you know pro bmx or pro skateboarder they'll see that they'll recognize it and then when their teacher lies to them and is teaching critical race theory garbage and says the gadsden flag is white supremacist they'll say that's not true i watch a guy on youtube who's got that you're lying so they did with pewdiepie when the media kept trying to claim pewdiepie was racist and all that he had a legion of fans saying that's not true you're
Starting point is 01:26:11 lying about pewdiepie i'm a fan so we gotta build culture we can't just sit here and be like it's bad they did this we've got to do something else so you know what i'm actually gonna do gonna we've been planning this for a while to do our own sodas. We're going to have our own Tim Kass sodas. You call these companies. They do formulas. Then they will make a specific flavor and then send it to a manufacturing plant. Super – like they're not very big corporations that do it. That's even better.
Starting point is 01:26:37 And then we're going to have our own soda. And then I'll get a little vending machine and we'll make Luke's old-timey sarsaparilla. How does that sound, Luke? Or butterbeer. Luke's old-timey butterbeer. There you go. Harry Potter fan, right? I was just in Orlando. Why? Did you do the Harry Potter? It was awesome. Did you go? It's a confession.
Starting point is 01:26:54 Yes, I did. It was so great. What is butter beer? They have to put crack in there or something because it's good. What is it? It's this beer that's butterscotch and just soda. It's not really beer. Most beers have fluoride in it. There's no alcohol or fluoride in itcotch and just soda it's not really beer there's no most beers there's no alcohol or fluoride in it i hope uh but it's just um yeah i it's my guilty thing that i butterscotch soda yeah that it was good and the rides were fun they were so fun that was a normie
Starting point is 01:27:18 that was a normie for a little bit i had so much fun doing that with my kid. We got the wand and we did the whole – Yeah, it was fun. That was fun. Sorry. Well – I'm going off topic here. Watch – you know what people can do? It's like buy books from writers. Michael Knoll's book came out. You've got Andy Ngo's book, Unmasked.
Starting point is 01:27:38 You've got Michael Malice's book. You've got Jack Posobiec's book. Buy those books so that on Amazon they hit the top of the charts. Tell – like show people. And the other thing, too, is like on YouTube, when they thumbs down these videos and the White House is forced to take down their rankings and comments, that makes a statement. But, you know, it's things like that.
Starting point is 01:27:55 That's good. There's got to be more to it. Voting with your dollars is very important. It's funny when you watch the YouTube videos of the White House press conferences and there's so many less viewers than there were like a year ago or two years ago even. Another aspect that's critically important is voting what your attention, deciding what you will incentivize. Are you going to turn on Netflix or are you going to turn on independent media?
Starting point is 01:28:20 Are you going to go after and seek it and seek information? That, of course, is going to be valuable. No one said personal responsibility was easy. Personal responsibility is about learning yourself the importance of liberty, of freedom, of being reliable on yourself. And that journey is an amazing one. You could live a journey where you could literally live in a pod, eat the bugs, be a total slave of the establishment, be, you know, imprisoned by the algorithm in your own head, or you could live a life of exploring, discovering. And when you truly do put yourself on this path, which starts with your ideas, what you just deciding to think about good, beautiful, positive things that you could have for yourself.
Starting point is 01:28:58 When you put yourself on this pathway, life is so much more adventurous. It's so much more awesome. It's so much more adventurous. It's so much more awesome. It's so much more amazing. Yes, it's easy to sit on your butt, be a couch potato, eat your GMO Monsanto, corn down your pie hole. You could do that all you want. You know, it's not that easy because it makes you depressed. Exactly. Does anybody watch zombie movies and just go, man, I wish I was the zombie? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:18 That's apparently what's happening right now with so many people in these cities. Wow. It's not easy. It's institutionalized. It's what people are expected to do. And when they are in there, they're miserable. And when they're miserable, when they're depressed, when they have anxiety, then they need to buy more useless crap to fill the empty void within themselves. And that's why I think there's been such a huge agenda to break up the family unit, to make sure that people are individualized, to make sure that they're going to be easily prey for the larger corporate establishment.
Starting point is 01:29:47 Once you break up the family unit, which is a natural grouping. Right. Once you break that up, you can siphon individuals into separate identity groups and then you can work on equity between groups. And then that's how we have Marxist infiltration of American democracy. Exactly. And that's why a lot of Marxist organizations, even BLM, officially called for breaking up the family unit because it's integral to let their brainwashing get through to individuals. Mao did that. Stalin did that. Exactly. This is how you do it. First, you make it so that you don't have any idea who you can trust. And that's why in Poland, they attacked the churches. The churches were very instrumental
Starting point is 01:30:21 with fighting back against communism, which my family was a part of doing. And the family unit, I think a lot of people have it misconstrued. Yes, there's a lot of bad things, but it's not like they weren't there before. We're just realizing that this exists. The veil is unraveling. And what it is, it's providing an opportunity for people to actually see the world for what it is and not become victim of the larger traps laid out in front of them. And I think this is an amazing thing that's happening. And I think people are finally deciding, waking up and making the decisions that are right for
Starting point is 01:30:53 themselves. And if they're not, I mean, personal responsibility means you're responsible for yourself. And I think we need to teach people that more and incentivize and make people understand that at the end of the day, you're responsible for yourself and nobody else is. And no one's going to come to help you. No one's going to go out of their way to make sure you're in a good position unless you do it for yourself. Let's go to Super Chats. My friends, if you haven't already, smash that like button.
Starting point is 01:31:18 It really does help. Subscribe to this channel and go to timcast.com. Become a member. I know everybody's super excited. I mentioned this yesterday. I was like, we do have a new editor-in-chief coming in. You're a member i know everybody's super excited i mentioned this yesterday i was like we do have a new editor-in-chief coming in you're all big fans she's gonna do a great job but i'm not gonna say who it is everybody immediately tweeted at cassandra they're like we know it's you we know you're friends with him we know this is gonna be you
Starting point is 01:31:34 doing this cassandra does a really great job writing legit news the left hates her because of her opinions on twitter i don't care when you look at the story she actually writes they're fleshed out they're fact-based they're cited. She does a great job. We're going to be bringing out a bunch of other reporters and it's going to be fantastic. And everyone's going to serve as a sort of a check and balance on each other. But we are going to have a fact checker, not even in this building that we're going to be hiring, who's going to be in a different building. That way, when we write something, we that they then see the articles published and they'll go through it and fact check it. That's what newsroom is supposed to do.
Starting point is 01:32:07 You have an independent fact checker challenging what your own staff are writing. So you can complain all day and night about the individuals working here, but we're going to have a separate unit that does fact checking as well. It's going to be fantastic. And it's because you guys are members at Timcast.com. We're able to do this. My favorite is how they're desperate to lie. Someone tweeted that I was trying to sell my house to get
Starting point is 01:32:25 a loan or get a home loan to pay for it. Not true. This is all coming because people signed up to become members, and now we have the capital to do it. We don't need big fat, fat cat Silicon Valley or New York investment firms. No, we're totally independent, baby. And we're going to be able to hire great people who do great work, and it's going to be awesome. Thanks to you. So again, smash that like button. Let's read some of these super chats. We got Svulstig says, breaking 1986 Chernobyl school with physics lab to blame for radioactive fallout. To say anything else is to deny science. Yeah, as we know that when Chernobyl happened, the Soviet Union was lying about it.
Starting point is 01:33:00 And then we were like, yo, there's like radioactive particles everywhere. Something's happening. Yeah, but they lied. They're radioactive spiders. Wait, wait, wait. They're right now? In Chernobyl. Right now there are spiders?
Starting point is 01:33:13 Yeah, there are spiders. So if you want to be Spider-Man, you're saying I should... I think that's a good start. You'll just get sick if they bite you. Don't do that. The spiders have different... The spiders that all have specific patterns
Starting point is 01:33:24 have different patterns after Chernobyl. Oh, oh crazy that's creepy man elated echo says can't wait for cassandra very excited screw the jerk that's dragging her we want her here love you all so if you actually read her articles they're like really straightforward you know sometimes she'll write something where it's like alex you know like a you know some hyperbole in it but that's whatever. But the stuff she's written for the site so far on like day one, it's all just like very straightforward quotes explaining what's happening. And it's really good work. So they don't like it.
Starting point is 01:33:55 And that's probably why she's really feisty on Twitter. But, you know, that's too bad for them. All right. Jonathan Galtarini says, Luke, cult, cult, cult, let's go, LOL. LukeUnsets.com. The Physicality Channel says, Luke, cult, cult, cult. Let's go. LOL. Luke on censored.com. The physicality channel says these streams aren't live. This is the craziest conspiracy theory. It's my favorite.
Starting point is 01:34:11 I love it. Yeah. They think the streams aren't live for some reason. I don't know. How can we prove it? I don't know. I'm reading super chats. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:34:21 It's pretty complex. Yeah. It's like if someone, how do you, how do you not? I don't know, man. People are crazy. Rampton says, I'm buying a We Are Change shirt because Luke's back.
Starting point is 01:34:30 Well, thank you. I appreciate that very much. That's right. All right. Vladis Mosley says, Hey, Tim, I think YouTube is playing games with your notifications. Today is the first time
Starting point is 01:34:40 since I've been tuning in when I didn't get an alert. That's right. YouTube is absolutely doing that. And there's nothing. What can you do? I don't think YouTube owes me promotion. But I'll tell you this.
Starting point is 01:34:52 So long as they do promote my content, I'll be like, go to TimCast.com and become a member. Because once we get to that point where we're self-sustaining, where people are sharing the articles and sharing the videos, we're not going to need YouTube for anything. We need to build our own system. We're working on a bunch of open source projects to help expand the idea of independent ownership of content and fight back against the conglomeration
Starting point is 01:35:16 or whatever, conglomeratization of independent media, the takeover by the corporations when they shut down independent voices. We've got to build. We've got to resist, and that's what we're doing. All right. Soan DNB says, congrats on your newsroom, Tim,
Starting point is 01:35:33 but how do you plan on ensuring it stays neutral? Twitter was the pro-free speech platform until it wasn't. We don't. I'm sure it's only a matter of time until, you know, it's like 20 years
Starting point is 01:35:43 and I'm like, you know, I started this to challenge the system and now I look in the mirror and I am the system. It happens. That's why we just need, you know, maybe one thing we can do is just at a certain point when the company gets too big, we launch another startup and give people an independent newsroom. It's hard. It really is. I don't know. The biggest concern I have and the reason why we're launching all of this is because, look, I can be a guy on YouTube and talk about what I talk about. But what happens after I like I'm old and I'm retiring? There's got to be something that lives on beyond me. At the very
Starting point is 01:36:12 least, we can plant the seeds of this culture and hope it remains true and expands. Maybe there's something we can do with like corporate bylaws and restrictions or something. We'll figure it out. Jimmy Quinto says, I got my Doge shirt. Thanks. It's a great shirt, isn't it? No joke. Go to TimCast.com. Go to the store. And we got a bunch of silly shirts. We got the Diamond Hands Gorilla. He hasn't sold his AMC stock, so of course he's rich. Then we got the Doge shirt, which is, they're all like this joke of the I am a gorilla thing, but check them out. All right. The Weary says, I am a simple man. I see Luke.
Starting point is 01:36:46 I hit like. Wondering if the Beanie Squad has looked into Cher Tanzania at all. Mike Tyson did a charity fight for them. John St. Julian on YouTube. Right on. I think people are all screaming
Starting point is 01:36:58 that they love Luke because they're worried he'll leave. They better. B Rizzle says, Gun Owners of America has pre-written comments for the atf comment section on proposed rules for renaming frames and receivers and pistol braces ban it's very important contact guns and gadgets asap you should definitely check into that i will look into
Starting point is 01:37:17 that as well taz riot says people often talk about the problems yet don't mention solutions you want things to change? Form your own community, like an intentional community. Be the change. Be the change, Luke. I heard that somewhere. Yeah. But in today's video, I was actually talking about the most important currency that you could have during turbulent times.
Starting point is 01:37:40 And the most important one is social currency. The people around you, your neighbors, your family, work on your relations because those are going to be critical when things break down, and they're already breaking down. All right, we got Evil Zombie Hamster says, Seattle City Council candidate Ubax Gardhir pled down from a felony for a bomb threat on a school bus. Seattle Democrats are backing her. I don't live in Seattle, but I live in Washington, and Seattle's politics runs our state.
Starting point is 01:38:03 Boy. Yeah, we broke that story the other day. That's crazy. It's crazy. I don't think people should live in Washington, and Seattle's politics runs our state. We broke that story the other day. That's crazy. I don't think people should live in these places. I don't think anyone should vote for that person. But they're going to. So what happens when you have a cult in government? She called the children cowards as they
Starting point is 01:38:17 fled out the back of the bus. You seven-year-olds, you're cowards! You're all cowards! Wow, man. Wolf Freak says, Security and Cali make $18 an hour. Trust me, I was one of them until last year when I moved to Texas to flee the coup.
Starting point is 01:38:38 Oh, there you go. All right. FirstThessalonian says, Luke, I saw the Gray state trailer and a video of we are chains reaction to the trailer claps and whistles and whoops how well did you know david crowley would you tim guess ever consider making a movie based on david's concept trailer um the movie uh the trailer the story behind it has been absolutely crazy i i met uh i met that individual i think a number of three times i was uh around a lot of his uh friends um and uh it's it's a tragic crazy situation of what happened there
Starting point is 01:39:14 right on it ec morgan says leftist cities need to collapse like an atlas shrugged great to see you back luke missed you in the show now do the federal reserve yeah we've been ragging on the federal reserve quite a bit they deserve it shrugged. Great to see you back, Luke. Missed you in the show. Now do the Federal Reserve. Yeah, we've been ragging on the Federal Reserve quite a bit. They deserve it. They're bad. Ward Spose says, good call on Cassandra, Tim. She's a good human from my perspective. As a person that hires people, I think it'll be
Starting point is 01:39:35 lovely. I think it'll be a lovely relationship. My best. I've known Cassandra for like a decade. You've known her for a really long time as well. Around Occupy Wall Street. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a while. It's been like a decade. You've known her for a really long time as well. Around Occupy Wall Street. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's been a while. It's been like 10 years.
Starting point is 01:39:47 Yeah. And I think this was like, I think that's why everybody guessed that I was hiring Cassandra because it's fairly obvious. We've known her for so long and, you know. But we're going to have a great team. We've got a couple other people.
Starting point is 01:39:59 They're all fair. Like Cassandra is definitely on Twitter. She's feisty, bombastic. But the other people we're hiring are like, no offense to them, rather boring. Like regular journalists and reporters who write good work. And so, you know, there you go. We'll have our rage from the left. They can say whatever they want.
Starting point is 01:40:17 I don't care. Arsian says, Tim, have you been to every country in the world yet? I ask this as someone who feels left behind in life. I am desperate to travel, and how many people do you know that have? I do not know anyone that has been to every single country. I have been to, I think, 30? Luke, you've probably been to way more than
Starting point is 01:40:34 I have. I lost count, but I love traveling. You've probably been to, like, more than half. Yeah, I was travel hacking, and right before COVID, I was so happy, and then COVID hit, and I was stuck in New York City, which wasn't the place to be during COVID. Will C says, Tim, I no longer get notifications when you go live. Over the last two weeks, I've had to search my subscriptions to find the live chat.
Starting point is 01:40:55 Keep it up. That's right. If you're listening right now and you want to make sure you never miss an episode, subscribe, hit the notification bell. That still might not be enough, but I'll tell you this. One of the most powerful things you can do is take the URL to the show and just share it on all social media and I think you can always go to
Starting point is 01:41:10 youtube.com slash timcast IRL slash live but of course with the new site rolls out we I don't know exactly when and when it will be launching this specific feature we're planning on just having the live run on the website as well
Starting point is 01:41:23 we're trying to use these networks and have our exodus. So long as they drive massive amounts of traffic, we want to make sure we can guide people to our platforms as well. So we'll use YouTube to the best of our abilities. But yeah, we'll have all the stuff on the website. Because sooner or later, they're going to just nuke us off YouTube. William Carlos says, so I see you're accepting bribes now, Tim. Great. Please check out a pitch that I sent to your
Starting point is 01:41:47 pitches email. I'd love to hear back from you guys. Beluga whale. Bribes in the form of super chats? If you super chat, I try to read as many
Starting point is 01:41:55 as I can. Sometimes people get their, uh, their, uh, super chat read. Clef the Misfit says, hey gang, did you see the content
Starting point is 01:42:01 cop video on Taylor Lorenz with you, with, uh, the YouTuber Bossed Wiki did? Professional thorough takedown. Turns out leftist women don't protect each other either. Interesting. I didn't know that. I watched the video.
Starting point is 01:42:12 It was actually pretty good. Really? Yeah. Well, there you go. All right. Let's see. The Licensed Guru says, good choice for today's panel they should be on more often and missed hearing luke's opinion welcome back thanks for having me let's see uh samuel
Starting point is 01:42:32 lay uh lelyuk says where's the coverage by tim of the censoring of brett weinstein's video fda compliances in 500k us covid uh if you'd like to see that, look, they deleted Brett Weinstein's video. So we did a segment on TimCast.com. It is, yes, for members only. We're trying to figure it out. I don't like putting things behind a paywall when it's extremely important. The website, we'll get to the new iteration of it. We're going to have these very important things be readily available and shareable and all that stuff. Absolutely. We just need to get the
Starting point is 01:43:08 framework rolling. But if we did a video talking about what Brett Reinstein was talking about on YouTube, they'd nuke us in two seconds. This is a very serious problem. What do we do? If I come out and start a video and I say, hey, guys, here's the thing that happened. There's a minute delay on YouTube. They would nuke us before you even heard what we said. Often people are like, whoa, I don't even get it. They just got shut down. Yes, because YouTube is watching. And they ban us.
Starting point is 01:43:31 So go to TimCast.com, the conversation. It's the last one we did just the other day. It's in the members-only section. Scroll down. You'll see a picture of Luke wearing a shirt that says, make America Florida. And that's where you know you'll have found it. Yeah. The video yesterday that we did is very important and
Starting point is 01:43:45 definitely worth a watch. Wait, you really have a t-shirt that's Make America Florida? I mean, I got demonetized by YouTube so I just started a t-shirt company and I started to make ridiculous t-shirts and one of them is that t-shirt. I'll mail you one. My t-shirt store
Starting point is 01:44:01 is available on thebestpoliticalshirts.com. But I'll give you one. And that's been one of the favorite ones that we've been getting out there. I wrote an article earlier this year that was like, I think it was called Florida is a Paradise of Freedom. It is. It has been. I just came from there and it was absolutely amazing. Jav Tonda says, Tim, you shouldn't make fun of Colbert for being a contrarian and give a half-witted answer to an issue, since you do it all the time.
Starting point is 01:44:25 While calling a hypothesis a conspiracy, keep up the good work, though. I'm sorry. Well, I certainly am one to be able to take criticism. Colbert obviously lying all the time and me being skeptical are very different things. Like when Colbert comes out and lies about Trump. He's lying. When Colbert comes out and says, even in the face of like overwhelming evidence and even the mainstream media not coming around saying lab leak makes the most sense, even with Fauci now saying he's not entirely convinced COVID is natural, Colbert still tries maintaining that lie. Well, there's all these bats here.
Starting point is 01:45:00 There's a big difference, okay? And Colbert's not a contrarian. He repeats the same talking points as almost every single late-night TV show host, which is in unison always regurgitating the same talking points. Alright. I am N Sanity, says, been following and watching since 2015. Going to ask for a shout-out to my news
Starting point is 01:45:20 channel, The N Sane Report. Daily news with a psychotic twist and no cursing. I may be N Sane, but I'm not crazy. There you go. Julie Simone says, Yeah. There you go. I got to get some of those shirts. We got to get them here.
Starting point is 01:45:48 We should go to Florida too. No. Come on. Why not? Let's all go. It's hot and humid. It's kind of awesome though. You get one month.
Starting point is 01:45:56 You get January and maybe February. January, Timcast IRL from Miami, Florida. Go ahead. Do it. Bitcoin conference is probably going to happen in January too. We'll call it the winter studio. Yeah, seriously. The winter White House.
Starting point is 01:46:09 Maybe you could be snowbirds. Yeah, that sounds a lot better than shoveling snow off of my roof. Off of your roof? Off of my RV roof. I live in an RV. Cold water. You have to shovel your RV. Cold water says,
Starting point is 01:46:21 The magazine Popular Mechanics had articles on how 2 plus 2 is not always 4 and the mechanics of pulling down a statue. I haven't renewed the magazine in years and they keep sending it to me. So what's happening with the 2 plus 2 equals 5 thing is that they're using semantic arguments to confuse you and make you unable to do math. So when we're talking about just basic integers and arithmetic, whatever, you have two apples, you have two apples. You have two apples. You got four apples.
Starting point is 01:46:47 That's it. What they do is they use semantic arguments like this. All right, Luke. If you have two apples in your left hand and two apples in your right hand and you put them together, how many apples do you have? Five. The Twitterverse told me. You still only have two apples in each hand. Yeah. It's like, it's
Starting point is 01:47:06 ridiculous. If you have one apple and you take one away, Luke, if you have two apples and you take one away, how many apples do you have? I don't know. Two. I guess. Just tell me what to say. No, no, no. Listen, listen, listen. If you have two apples and you
Starting point is 01:47:22 take one away, it's not two minus one. They're using semantic arguments. Oh, right, because you have two apples and you take one away, it's not two minus one. They're using semantic arguments. Oh, right, because I have two apples and I'm the one who took it. I'm still holding two apples. That's why two minus one equals two. So clever. They do this thing where they're like, if you have 2.4 and round it, you'll get two. But if you have two plus four plus two plus four, you'll get 4.8, which rounds up to five.
Starting point is 01:47:47 It's how you destroy reality and then tell people what to think. This is what happens, too, with gender, right? We tell little kids not to trust their instincts. Makes everybody crazy. And not to trust their own bodies, and then everyone's insane. Uh-oh, I can't read this. It's in Polish. It's for Luke. I can't read this it's in Polish It's for Luke
Starting point is 01:48:05 I can't see any screens in front of me It says Dziekuj Luke za Powrot Ok Pazdrowiana in Nijmiek What did he say I have no clue what you're saying
Starting point is 01:48:21 I said that in perfect Polish Yeah ok It was articulated perfectly. Luke just doesn't actually speak Polish. Uh-huh. All right. The Throne says, Hey, guys, love the talk about this ideology
Starting point is 01:48:34 being a new secularist religion that people are blindly following despite conflicting views. A name you could use for this religion is statism, and it's required for socialism. Yeah, actually. Statist. It's just whatever the establishment says they're like yes yeah 100 you should wear two masks yes don't wear two masks yes you should wear two masks yes that's all they're doing fauci it's it's almost like fauci's
Starting point is 01:49:00 playing simon says and he's laughing i wonder if like after every interview he does he goes, I just told them to do the exact opposite. They're doing it. It's hilarious. And they're all laughing like high-fiving each other. I can't believe they're falling for this. Alright. Mrs. Awesome says, Tim, I completely agree with boycotting companies that go against interests and you
Starting point is 01:49:21 are also correct that people cave to the FOMO which is going against their interest. People need to show their force by not caving. What we need, it's really simple. We need more cultural stuff. When people are on Twitter and there's a viral trend where they're like, Dude, the new episode of, you know, like, I don't know, what's a popular show? Big Bang Theory?
Starting point is 01:49:42 Big Bang Theory, yeah! Conservatives need their own version of that. Dude, did you see that movie from The Daily Wire? It's so great. Run, Hide, Fight? Yeah. Did you see that? No, I didn't see it either. Did you see it? No. Yeah, nobody saw it. No, I know a lot of people who did. They said it was pretty good.
Starting point is 01:49:58 It's going great. Well, they're just... That's the point. They need more. One movie isn't enough for everybody to just watch and then like, oh, we need a good series. There needs to be a viral hit. If Daily Wire can put out something that's like on par with the virality of Game of Thrones, it's over. Then everyone's going to be watching Daily Wire.
Starting point is 01:50:19 So that's the thing. I think there's a reason why, though, that that hasn't happened yet i mean i don't think and it sucks to say it but i don't think that there's exactly an even distribution of creatives on the right and the left i think that there's a certain kind of person that tends obviously this is just speaking generally tends to lean left and there's a certain kind of person that tends to lean right and they don't seem the person who seems who tends to lean right doesn't seem to be the same person that's the creative. I think that there's a reason why they kind of fall on different parts of a chart. I wonder if that's true, or if perhaps the institutions and the gatekeepers that hold the keys to the kingdom of culture and art are so left-leaning
Starting point is 01:51:02 that it's hard to make any headway if you i mean i went to art school and people who might have had conservative views did not ever speak them playwrights that i know who are conservative they don't they don't talk about that they just you know they try and like slip in their stuff underneath so that no one notices that they're saying what they're what they think maybe they should right well that's that's one they ought to stand up that's one thing that i think will change the paradigm is that it's becoming like so militant you know these institutions were always liberal but liberal had a different meaning i mean liberal was totally unthreatening and had no teeth and it was just kind of this like free flow um mentality but it's it's totally changed from that. It's become totally puritanical, which
Starting point is 01:51:45 now is incompatible with art and creating. And I definitely think that you're right. And I think that it's just changed form and it's going to push a lot of creatives who aren't necessarily conservative, but just aren't like that away and into the arms of conservatives or just people who aren't puritanical. We're going to be funding sitcoms and films and comics. And the goal is just to not have it be political. That's the right move. It's going to have like undercurrents. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:52:14 There's going to be certain things about like being a hero, saving people, having personal responsibility and stuff like that. But it's not going to be overt like, you know, Trump as Superman fighting, you know, communists or something. Art doesn't have to be overt like you know trump as superman fighting you know communist or something art doesn't have to be political yeah it it it will i it will it will have ideology ideology in it uh it just won't be overt it'll be like here's a hero he's a hero because he believes these things and that's it well once you tap into old stories once you tap into like the river of human knowledge, it's not about ideology.
Starting point is 01:52:45 It's about telling classic human stories. Yeah. All right. Jay Schartzer says, thank God Luke is back. My throat was getting sore from all the puking. That's right. No Luke repuke. Callum Eskew says, first off, it's great to see Luke again.
Starting point is 01:52:59 I just graduated from an arts high school in the Bay Area. We have been force-fed Marxism and CT since eighth grade. I've been watching y'all since the Kyle Rittenhouse incident. Thanks for keeping me sane during that. We try, man, but it takes each and every one of you to share. Like people are saying like, oh, I'm not getting notifications anymore. Out of sight, out of mind. They want to make sure you don't see it. But if they ban it outright when it's big, it creates a huge uproar. So they got to do it very, very slowly. And I'm aware of that so i'm launching a website we're bringing people on and we're going to try and fight back it's uh it's what it's it's what we got to do but we need each
Starting point is 01:53:34 and every one of you to smash the like button share the show and help spread the word at the very least man all right ski man from toronto says hey tim cast gang great reset is for real g7 leaders voted unanimously on minimum 15 global corporate tax rate lock us down force our money to big corporations tax them to hell on their new revenue bailouts and more they're not they're not even trying to hide it they use the same kind of generic talking points of building back better in their official g7 pro you know announcement man all right let's see we got one uh someone mentioned a good book points of building back better in their official G7 announcement. Man. All right.
Starting point is 01:54:07 Let's see. We got one. Someone mentioned a good book. Where are we at? Where did it go? Here we go. A.K. Kamara says, Tim, my guy, you got to read The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt.
Starting point is 01:54:22 The difference between liberals and conservatives is based on differences of moral intuitions, not based on logical versus illogical. That's correct. Great. It's correct. Great. It's called The Moral Foundations. And there's actually, I think the book may have only had five. They've since added a sixth, Liberty Foundation.
Starting point is 01:54:32 I always try to name them off the top of my head. It's care, fairness, loyalty. Purity. Purity. Isn't that sanctity or is it purity? Same thing. And authority and liberty. Did I say liberty?
Starting point is 01:54:43 I don't know. There's six. And here's my favorite. First, liberals only have two moral foundations, authority and liberty. Did I say liberty? I don't know. There's six. And here's my favorite. First, liberals only have two moral foundations, care and fairness. They don't care for authority, loyalty, purity, or liberty. Conservatives have an equal distribution of all moral foundations. The best one. Libertarians only have one, liberty. They don't care about you. They don't want to be fair to you. They have no loyalty to you. They absolutely hate authority.
Starting point is 01:55:08 There's no purity. It's just let me do what I want. Leave me alone. Hey, I'll take it. If they're not bothering me, I don't care. But I guess there are problems in that. Okay. Jonathan Kelly says says I am suffering
Starting point is 01:55:27 some from same nerve damage as your friend I don't know what to do docs included specialists don't have much to tell me I'm in terrible awful pain all day and all night long
Starting point is 01:55:35 head to toe man sorry to hear it yeah a friend of mine has got nerve damage in his arms and legs so he can't you know play music or skateboard anymore
Starting point is 01:55:42 and I've been talking about it and he said just one day a few days after after getting vaccinated, he started to feel pain. And they said they think that his immune system went into overdrive and attacked his nerves. At least people should register with VAERS. If they do have complications, if they have any problems, they should report on it. So at least people know the real numbers out there because they're already pretty staggering. All right.
Starting point is 01:56:06 Alternative JK says, when it comes to SF, you should look at their current DA, Chisaboden. He was raised by Bernadine Dorn and Bill Ayers. Wow, really? Members of the radical left-wing Weather Underground movement. By the way, got Luke's normalized critical thinking shirt with good feedback. Yeah, no, his parents were really close with weather underground and he was literally raised by them that's not an exaggeration because his parents were in prison and so he was raised by heirs i love this was like his godfather something like that you know i will parents
Starting point is 01:56:37 are still in prison i think i don't know what i do find like really funny about this is that you know 40 50 years ago you had these ide ideologues who were zealots for their cause. And they write all these things about how this is the right way to do things. And now it's a total mess and it's chaotic and everything's failing and crime's skyrocketing, proving their corrupt moral ideology was broken from the get-go. And now that it's being implemented, everything's just burning to the ground. So congratulations on that. There was someone who was with The Weather Underground who was coordinating the funding
Starting point is 01:57:07 for Black Lives Matter as well. That sounds right. Yeah. Willie Boy P says, Tim can't hide his bald head in the Florida heat
Starting point is 01:57:15 without having a stroke. That's exactly it. I can't wear a beanie in Florida. What am I supposed to do? Oh, geez. I lived in Florida. A fedora.
Starting point is 01:57:22 A fedora. That's it. In January and February, we were actually able to go out and skate, and it was comfortable. But nobody went outside unless they were on the beach. It's different. I mean, I was out there. People were partying, drinking, going to restaurants, having fun. I loved it there.
Starting point is 01:57:39 It's fun in Florida. Yeah. Alexander Scarpecci says, TimCast News should bring Ivory Hecker from Fox 26 in Houston. I hear she is looking for work. That is the woman who secretly filmed her bosses
Starting point is 01:57:49 at her local news outlet and Project Veritas is exposing what they were doing. I guess the only issue is I'm sure Project Veritas is going to fire her is going to hire her first. So that seems
Starting point is 01:58:02 she seems like a perfect fit for Veritas. Her face is out there now though so i don't know angry goose says first time super chat i'm a trucker and i love listening to y'all chat every day it really helps pass the time keep up the great work hey man really appreciate it timeless ninja says i need a trump superhero comic tim okay to be fair we probably will do that because it'll be a hilarious satire already a manga about trump well that's like a joke one it's called um my hero magademia yeah and i don't know if you guys are if you guys know anything about my hero academia but there's a superhero named all might and he's like
