Holy mother.
Wow.
That's all I have to say to open this segment up.
I did not see this coming.
Joe Biden.
Earlier it was announced he was going to be.
Issuing some vaccine mandates.
And that's him going back on his word.
Because he said last year it wasn't going to happen.
We weren't going to do passports.
We weren't going to do forced vaccination.
Jen Psaki said something recently.
I think only a couple months ago.
And the word came out that Joe Biden was going to implement some mandates.
Well, of course, the rumor was he was going to mandate federal employees and contractors
to get vaccinated.
That is massive because of so many companies that contract with the federal government.
They're going to sever those contracts, lay people off or mandate vaccines.
And that's on par with what we've been seeing
from a lot of executives mandating their employees get vaccinated. The one thing I did say in my
earlier segment was that Joe Biden does not have the authority to mandate anything else beyond that.
He can't just mandate private businesses, mandate vaccines, mandate the mandate. Well, Joe Biden did because he is a psychopathic tyrant
and he is a crackpot authoritarian.
And this is not, this is no joke how bad this is.
I think, you know, there are certain things
you can look back on in terms of egregious executive decrees
like Japanese internment camps
and suspension of habeas corpus and things like that.
This is definitely on par with one of the most brazen things we've seen from a president
because it's not just one thing.
Joe Biden has bypassed the legislative branch on more than one occasion with the eviction
moratorium.
Then he violated the Supreme Court.
He violated the judicial branch and the legislative branch by doing it again.
The Supreme Court once again intervening.
Joe Biden now has completely bypassed the legislative branch by trying to enact by decree
that businesses under a new OSHA rule mandate vaccinations for everyone, for all of their
employees, if they have at least 100 employees. All right, well, I'll say this.
We here at TimCast.com, we do not have more than 100 employees. And it's hard to say whether or not we're close to it. But probably within the next year or so, I anticipated that we would be
around there. But I'll say this regardless. I will not comply. Do what you want. Say what you want.
It ain't happening. I got my van down by the river if need be, but I'm going to stand up.
I'm going to say no.
And I'll ride this ship as long as we can.
There are a few moments in this past couple of years that have been genuinely shocking.
One of the first, because I've seen a lot of things in my days traveling around the world.
One of the most shocking things I saw, I remember in the basement, you know, back in March, Donald, I think it was March, Donald
Trump making a statement about restricting travel to Europe, or I can't remember exactly what was
said. And I was like, wow, like, this is serious. What's going on with this COVID stuff?
What Joe Biden did today, I did not believe would happen. I did not expect.
And it is one of the most despotic, psychotic, authoritarian things we've ever seen.
It is a thousand orders of magnitude worse than anything Trump ever did.
We'll see if this stands up to scrutiny.
But considering that Joe Biden's already bypassed the judicial branch and the legislative branch
on more than one occasion, it seems likely he's going to try
and make this stick.
Will it?
Maybe not.
So maybe this is just Joe Biden sabotaging any chance the Democrats are going to have
in 2022 and 2024.
Because I tell you this, you go to rural people in swing states and tell them, we will say
no to this and we will end it.
And they're going to vote for you without question.
They don't care what your policies are.
You can tell them that with all the taxpayer dollars, we're going to build a
moon base made of cheese to
harvest moon cheese, and they're going to be like, and
you're going to shut down this mandate stuff? I'll vote
for you. Let's get into all this stuff.
Let's stop me from ranting. It's just, it's that
dark. Joining us today
is Joey Salads. Thank you
for having me. I'm going to pull your mic down a little bit.
Point it at your mouth.
Yeah, just talk into it. Excellent. You got me wanting some of that moon cheese now what kind of cheese is
my moon cheese bro it looked so good in that wallace and gromit skit i know right what was
there really a gromit wallace and gromit skit about moon cheese yeah there wasn't i'm just
saying you know people are gonna be like this dude's lost the plot we got anybody else this
is gonna be a republic what i'll tell you if it's not a republican sweep we're doomed and i don't even like the republicans and i
don't even think the republicans don't do much but i'm talking about the insurgent you know but
anyway introduce yourself joey who are you what are you doing um i'm joey salads i go by joey
saladino now and uh yeah i've been doing youtube for a pretty long time i guess i partially retired
from doing that now Now I'm mostly
just chilling, handling business.
Now I'm here. Right on, man. Thanks for coming on.
We got Ian. Thanks, Tim. Good to see you, Joe.
Good to see you. Always good to see you in town,
man. Well, let's
get through these intros because I'm freaking out
about this. Yeah, I am.
I'm a little bit concerned about this and I'm curious.
Hopefully we can come up with something positive in this.

You know, it's really funny is this is so serious. I'm even seeing Reddit kind of like, you know,
go, you know, Reddit full of bots and apologists for authoritarianism are like,
this one's kind of crazy because the president doesn't have the.
Anyway, share the video.
Let's let's let's let's save it.
Let's actually get into the news. Here it is from the Associated Press.
Sweeping new vaccine mandates for 100 million Americans.
The AP reports in his most forceful pandemic actions and words, President Joe Biden on Thursday announced sweeping new federal vaccine requirements affecting as many as 100 million Americans
in an all out effort to increase COVID-19 vaccinations and curb the surging Delta variant.
It's not just the new OSHA requirement.
They say the expansive rules mandate that all employers with more than 100 workers require
them to be vaccinated or test for the virus weekly,
affecting about 80 million Americans. And the roughly 17 million workers at health facilities that receive federal medical Medicare
and Medicaid will also have to be fully vaccinated.
There's also going to be a requirement for all for all employees of the executive branch
and contractors who do business with the federal government.
But boy, if you watch this guy speak
on TV, this was an iron fist moment. He said he's going to just, I'll paraphrase here, but just
push through any Republican governor who tries to oppose his executive decree.
We've got bread tube socialists, these crackpot authoritarian lunatics,
cheering for rule by decree.
True colors shown.
Mask slips off. How about that?
When we called them communists and they said, we're
democratic socialists. We just want to vote for the power.
And then once they vote for their guy
and he slams the gavel on the table and says,
you know, we...
It's like the emperor in Star Wars.
The attempt to bypass
the Senate and Congress. And they're cheering for it.
So we got a lot going on, but we should just definitely talk about this.
The funny thing here, I think, is that unions are like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We got to negotiate on this one.
But I don't know.
Guys, is it any surprise that – actually, I think it is a surprise, but what are your thoughts on Joe Biden just going full fascist?
Not really surprised at all, but it's crazy.
You're not surprised?
Come on.
Whatever the Democrats want, they've been getting since day one, especially when COVID happened.
We never thought that they would be locking us in our homes for several months, and they did exactly that.
Yeah, but that was under Trump, right?
That is true. It was the Democrat governors.
It was the Democrat governors, even some Republicans.
Yeah, Trump opposed it, but Trump gave the rights to the state,
which I was kind of on the fence about having the states have those rights
to remove our constitutional rights.
Shouldn't that be the job of the federal government to then step in
and preserve our constitutional rights against democrat governor tyrants but well no no the federal government is
constantly trying to infringe on our rights and we have this shield in the constitution that is
stopping them from doing it but at this point it's like you know joe biden with the with the
eviction moratorium bypassed the legislative branch.
Supreme Court said, hey, you can't do this.
And he went, I'll do it anyway.
Thus bypassing the Supreme Court and Congress, which is just basically the executive has
gone nuts with power and he should be impeached immediately.
The problem is, you know, we're supposed to have this mechanism in place to remove despots and
tyrants impeachment they try to impeach trump over nothing it's like he made a phone call and
they're like get rid of them it's insane yes and then and then january 6th is just it's insane
and now you actually have a a off and off, insane, demented psychopath,
and you can't impeach him because the Democrats won't do it because they like it.
They like the power.
They want it.
They support it.
Even if they do impeach him, it's not going to do any good
because then you've just got Kamala Harris,
and it's probably the same exact people.
Then who do you get next, Pelosi?
You impeach her too.
Then you get Chuck Grassley.
I would love to do – we've got to kind of also be realistic.
It's just not going to happen, especially with the Democrats in charge.
It's you know, I feel like there's a lot of Republican representatives out there who are pushing for impeachment.
I think Taylor Greene probably filed at least 12 different impeachments since she took office eight months ago.
It's all just fan service at this point, all this impeachment stuff.
And I forgot who said it.
One of the Republicans said it.
If you want to impeach Biden, focus on the midterms.
So at the very least, focus on the midterms.
I really want to hire 70 people just so that we can have 100 workers.
But we don't have that many people here.
We have like 30 employees.
Is there a loophole?
Can you hire people as independent contractors?
I don't know if that would count.
But I can just hire 100 hourly workers to mow the lawn with scissors.
You can hire 100 people that work from home in 100 different areas of the world,
and they're going to be like, that's more of a threat of people needing to be vaccinated
than 30 people in a room together.
This idiocy, these blanket decisions about numbers, and people aren't robots.
This is one of the biggest
responses that i'm seeing from a lot of people it's like wait a minute we've got work from home
we've got covid mandates people are already working remote and now in your own home they're
mandating you be vaccinated that makes no sense that's that's really off the that's really it's
nothing about safety it's nothing about actually keeping you safe it's all about they just want to
remove any unvaccinated person from being able to function in society to force you to get the vaccine
as much as possible without them actually coming to your house and jabbing you.
I got to be honest.
I think the actual goal here is just to cause the U.S. system,
the U.S. government to collapse completely.
It was happening anyway.
The printing of money was destroying our
economy and this is basically a i don't know if it's a mask to do it but but whatever it's just
another reason outside of the money thing what i'm talking about is we are we are seeing unprecedented
strain on states on the federal government on localities we are seeing shootouts you know in
the pacific northwest conflict of the streets and there's no way something this fascistic could pass muster.
It's going to get – I mean, they're going to get sued to oblivion.
Every Republican state is going to file a suit.
Republican states are going to start telling all of their – the companies within their states, ignore this.
They can't do it.
And then they're going to say, we will not comply with the federal government. So what are you going to do about it? This never could work. This idea
would never happen. There's no way West Virginia is going to be like, well, I don't know. Biden
said it. There's no way Texas is going to be like, unfortunately, we're beholden to Biden.
Ron DeSantis. So what's the outcome of this? All it did is it's going to force red states to make
declarations against the federal government in some capacity whether it be sovereignty and we've
seen that in the past or uh sanctuary decrees or whatever it is just destroying the bonds that keep
this country together i worry that the federal government the way they're going to probably try
to enforce this over businesses are they going to start freezing people's bank accounts, removing the money from their account?
And I am not like the biggest crypto guy or I'm trying to promote crypto onto people.
But I do feel like if eventually society starts pushing to this world of more crypto, having crypto wallets, a crypto bank bank account stuff that's decentralized off the grid off the like you know if you have a a bank account with city bank or whatever bank the
government could just step in and they've done it to me when i forgot to pay certain taxes and
they just take money out freeze the account yep done like okay and they're going to start doing
we're going to see that happen with companies that are unvaccinated they're going to just
take your money and take it out fourteen thousand dollar fine per violation and one of the things
we always seen throughout history is typically when there's a big revolution
that's brewing or a civil resistance brewing, it's usually currency starts to split.
They usually, you know, we've seen it throughout American history too. I believe some states had
their own currencies at some points. And I'm not trying to push crypto on people, but I feel like
cryptocurrency is kind of that push to the new currency
where let's just say Florida does secede from the union.
If you're on the US dollar,
the federal government can just screw with Florida
beyond belief,
but if it's all in Bitcoin,
they can't take it.
This is why they hate Bitcoin.
It's an escape.
Yeah.
It's a way out of their system.
$14,000 per violation for it.
It's the OSHA rule.
If they say you have to get vaccinated or a weekly test.
I think it's really funny because I tweeted, I will not comply.
And the response from everybody was, you don't even have 100 employees.
You're exempt.
And I'm like, yo, I'm not.
I'm saying in general, dude, they're going insane with this stuff.
We'll have 100 employees by this time next year, or maybe we won't.
Maybe all that happens now is companies start saying, instead of just hiring everybody under
one company, we make a new company that does a different job.
Oh, you got a media production company?
Well, your graphic design should just be under a new company called Magic Graphic Design,
and you contract them.
And all of a sudden, you're breaking your company up.
According to this rule, you can have 1,000 people in the same building with 10,000 companies,
or 1,000 companies, and that's way safer than having 100 people spread across the world under one company.
According to this idiot.
There would at some point be the IRS being like, hey, this is kind of messed up.
You can't do that.
If there were 1,000 people, each owned their own company, all working together in one room, There would at some point be the IRS being like, hey, this is kind of messed up. You can't do that.
If there were 1,000 people, each owned their own company, all working together in one room, that's a lot more viral load than 100 employees in one company across the world working from home.
The thing is what you just said, what you would do in a month or two months from now if you did end up doing that, if that was the thing people said, they'll just rewrite it, rewrite the bill, rewrite the law. So if you as an individual are paying people
or you as an individual
own several companies
that amass the, you know.
They can't do that.
They'll do it.
It's the Democrats.
They definitely wouldn't do that
because that would destroy
all of their big donors.
So when they're saying vaccine mandate,
you think Pepsi cares?
But going in and then saying
we're now going to start
administering businesses based on the individual involved, they'd be like, whoa, whoa, we got shell company after shell company, something in Panama, something in Bahamas.
Nah, none of that.
There's another interesting thing, though.
A lot of people may have missed this one because it wasn't big news. this community banking association, this group, that the IRS wants –
they want any transaction, $600 or more, to be tracked by the banks.
It used to be, I think, like $10,000 or it may have been like $6,000 or something.
$600 now.
Any deposit?
Not withdrawals, just deposits?
Wow.
Anything.
Anytime you pull money out?
Anything.
That's nuts.
Anytime you check your account?
I said over $600. Oh, okay, okay Anytime you check your account? I said over $600.
Oh, okay, okay.
Anytime money gets moved.
Yes, over $600.
They want to be able to track it.
If you move it from a savings account to your own checking account?
Yes.
Wow.
That's an account transfer.
Wow.
Yup.
I don't think people realize how bad it's about to get.
And I think we're not long for YouTube.
I think that time is coming.
I think a lot of big channels are...
Look, the faster they implement these things,
the faster they implement these things.
I mean, look, it was December
when Joe Biden said no mandatory vaccinations.
It was July, I think, when Psaki said
we don't think the vaccine should be mandatory.
Now look where we're at.
Now we have Delta version,
which is less deadly but more transmissible
from what I've learned.
We have Lambda, Epsilon, and Mu.
And he's doing a vaccine.
This is a vaccine mandate for the Delta variant, according to this article.
But firstly, from what I know, no vaccines are made for the Delta variant that are out yet.
It's not even about safety.
I get what you're saying.
You're probably right about almost everything that you're saying about people in a building, vaccines.
It's not even – none of that even matters.
It's not even about that when it comes to what these Democrat lawmakers are – what they're mandating and deciding.
It has nothing to do with the basis in science at all.
No, we're so far beyond acting like what the Democrats, the government, and the neocons, the Republican establishment,
we're so far beyond them acting in accordance to norms and laws and what we expect.
They are just operating with impunity.
That's it.
Now, to be fair, the Republican establishment is basically just a pressure release valve for Americans.
So when a bunch of Americans are getting fed up and angry with this,
they'll be like, I'm going to vote Republican.
And the Republicans will be like, we're going to push back on this.
And then Lindsey Graham will walk over and high-five Kamala.
Congratulations.
Welcome to the country with the Uniparty.
Another thing I don't like to see, and it's coming from Greg Abbott, DeSantis,
and a lot of, I'll call it, I guess, emotional conservatives on the Internet.
And they're seeing what the left
is doing the democrats are doing they're mandating vaccines they're using the arm of the federal
government or their state governments to demand everybody get a vaccine but then i'm watching the
inverse happen as a reaction to that and we're seeing a lot of conservatives saying let's mandate
no vaccine like businesses can't mandate vaccines at all and i'm watching
this inverse of i guess fascism occurring where it's like two sides of this fascist coin going on
and they're both being cheered by their own side and i think that's that's could be something
incredibly dangerous when counter-dependence i disagree when the republicans say you as a
business can't mandate vaccines i think that's a broad non-discriminatory policy. We have tons of policies affecting businesses about who they can't discriminate against. In Austin, Texas, there were two restaurants that were requiring their customers to have vaccines.
And I guess they were operating fine.
The government of Texas came in and said, we're going to pull your liquor license if you keep requiring this.
So I'm assuming they probably stopped requiring it.
Now they're going to do all the lawsuits.
That was two restaurants in an entire state or city that had no type of vaccine mandate.
And I'm watching.
The businesses did.
The businesses did. And it was right of the government to shut down and discriminate and the government was shutting
it down i guess for discrimination good but where i come in saying is i believe that should be up to
the free market to decide if a business that requires vaccine should be able to survive or not
let's just say you're an old person let's's just say you're high risk. Let's say
you're a crazy leftist living in your little bubble inside your house with a mask, with several
vaccines in your arms, and you want to go outside and you live in Texas, and you're seeing all these
rising numbers of COVID cases, you're seeing all these deaths, and you want to go somewhere where
you feel safe. Should they have a right to patron a business that requires vaccines?
Do you think the government should have stepped in to enforce desegregation at private businesses?
I don't think my opinion when it comes to a lot of this stuff,
I would say when it comes to segregation, maybe around color, that's a different area
because obviously you can't change anything about your physical appearance.
But what always gets me when it comes
to the health reason, it's like, obviously, you have a choice whether to get vaccinated or not.
And it's also that ideology, you kind of got to adjust it, where there's a lot of conservatives
saying they shouldn't be able to discriminate against your health. They shouldn't be able to
discriminate against if you're vaccinated or not. But then at the same time, if you use,
I don't like to straw straw man but i think it's
important to hold that belief uh constant in a bunch of different situations say someone was
showing up to your restaurant and they had visible leprosy their skin peeling off the bone and they're
trying to get in you can't discriminate against me because of my health let me in well you're
gonna get everybody sick if you come in your Your skin is falling off the bone. That's what the judiciary is for.
So if we say, like, look, there's got to be some limits on public health and safety, and there's areas where you can discriminate.
Whether or not someone is vaccinated or unvaccinated is between their doctors.
And if the vaccines provide protection for the individual, then you shouldn't be worried about what other people aren't doing.
The issue here is that.
Well, another thing, how the vaccines work, and I'm anti-vaccine mandates,
there is a herd immunity situation that does come in that makes vaccines work.
Here's the issue.
What the Democrats and what Biden want is for everyone to be vaccinated because they're like, that's how we return to normal.
Everyone has to do it.
It's not about the individual.
It's about the entirety.
And the excuses they make online is like, but it's unvaccinated people who are in the
hospitals.
And it's like, well, then that's their problem, I guess.
Maybe they should go to a doctor and talk about this.
And maybe they wouldn't be in the hospital if they had some good medical advice.
How about that?
How about it's none of your business what they decide to do?
Here's the problem with the vaccine mandates.
Some places like New York, no medical exemptions, none for no reason.
So if you're someone who's got a disability or some existing condition and you can't get
vaccinated, you're out. This mandate from Joe Biden, it's going to force people to get COVID
tests every single week. This is putting a mandate that's going to put undue pressure.
You got businesses fining people, charging them money. Now let's say you have no
clean exemption, but the FDA says that right now data on pregnancy is insufficient to inform someone
on the risks. This is the community vaccine. They say data on pregnancy is insufficient to inform
on the risk. They don't know. And the FDA approval says that there is no long-term data on the
community vaccine because they've just entered those late stage trials and that will be coming
later on. So if you are someone who talks to your doctor and maybe you have a history of anaphylaxis,
maybe you've had Guillain-Barre syndrome in the past, and your doctor says, well, you know,
to be honest, I think you should get it. I won't bar your doctor says, well, you know, to be honest,
I think you should get it. I won't bar you from getting it, but that's going to be up to you.
And then you as an individual have to weigh the probabilities of whether or not you will take the
risk for this reason. Pregnancy is a big one because I believe it's the CDC said it is safe
for pregnant women to take the vaccine. However,da for the fda approved community says that data
is insufficient to inform on the risks but they think it's safe right basically they have no data
and they're assuming it's safe so if you're a pregnant woman you might be like i'm not comfortable
with that too bad no exemption that's it now now these businesses if they start doing it one by one
they're discriminating against people i understand your point that it's like two small businesses
yeah i would say that's the thing is when it comes into that situation,
there's the free market that decides.
Where if there is, let's just say in this hypothetical world,
you're in a town, there's no mandates at all when it comes to anything vaccine.
And all these businesses are starting to require vaccine mandates
to enter every single business.
And then let's say you have a large swap of that population
that is not vaccinated.
In the market of supply and demand, there's going to be businesses that are going to appeal and be created or be adjusted for the people who are unvaccinated because there's a large market share of people who need to patron businesses and they don't have businesses to patron.
So that's why I believe the free market is that sorts that stuff out it didn't the reason why the government had to
physically enforce desegregation is that the free market was not figuring it out is that it was
actually people had no incentive to change there was this famous story about i think it was lyndon
johnson and he had uh several black men who worked for him and they would drive his car and people had no incentive to change. There was this famous story about, I think it was Lyndon Johnson,
and he had several black men who worked for him. And they would drive his car and his dog down,
I think it was Texas or whatever. I can't remember the exact details. Or they would drive his car.
And then one time he asked them, can you bring my dog with you? And they were like, no,
it's hard enough to find anywhere to go to get service, let alone having a dog with us would
be impossible. And he was like, what do you mean?
Why?
And they were like, yo, driving through the South, there's no businesses for people based on your race.
Like it's all – the free market wasn't solving for that.
It was creating serious problems.
I think race is a different situation just because especially when you're dealing with stuff back then.
I mean if there was any segregated places nowadays, like no black people. We do have segregated businesses now.
If you think about it, there's all these LA super tech companies popping up
where they specifically don't hire white males.
We have all these dating websites specifically for Jews,
specifically for minorities, specifically for this.
And no one bats an eye, really.
No one really cares.
Okay, that's a business for that type of person,
business for these types of people, especially as you enter the tech age.
You can kind of target people based on what your needs are.
But I guess from the point where I'm coming from is in Texas where there was no mandates at all, no mandates in either direction, there was only two restaurants that really popped up requiring vaccines.
In Austin, probably.
In Austin, yeah. requiring vaccines in austin probably in austin yeah and i bet you they were probably getting business i could assume because if they're the only two in that market share and let's just say
there's 50 of the population there that is vaccinated they might be seeking vaccinated
places and i believe it should be their right if they're scared sick old or dying to be able to go
to a place where they can feel safe i think all this, if you don't want to go somewhere else, I think all of this, regardless,
I think Joe Biden's psychotic behavior, his, his, his inability to speak, his handlers,
whatever, and his decree.
Let me show you what's happening.
Biden vows to take on GOP governors over schools.
Yeah.
He didn't just say that.
He says, get them out of the way.
Right now, local school officials are trying to keep children safe in a pandemic while
the governor picks a fight with them and even threatens their salaries or their jobs.
Talk about bullying in schools, Biden said, remarks the White House.
If they'll not help, if these governors won't help us beat the pandemic, I'll use my power
as president to get them out of the way.
I think I think there's like a ninth and a 10th Amendment about that one that you can't do that, Joe Biden.
I think it was a few weeks ago the Biden administration said that they were going to fund the schools that get defunded over mask mandates.
So DeSantis was saying we're going to defund these schools because you're requiring masks.
That's no good um and then i think
the biden administration said they were going to work to fund those schools whatever was defunded
governor christy gnome said south dakota will stand up to defend freedom joe biden see you in
court all joe biden did with these decrees was he it was it was a shot across the bow to red states forcing them to
assert their positions in defiance of the federal government these mandates these threats getting
them out of the way all of its stuff it's it's it's absurd it's not going to happen the feds
are not going to be able to go into texas and start going business to business knocking on
doors and trying to figure things out. Now, there's taxes.
That's where they might get you with the IRS.
And the currency, that's all it comes down to at the end of the day.
They don't have the manpower, really, and they wouldn't be able to logistically go to
every single business and every door.
But what they can do is click a few buttons on the computer and lock all your bank accounts.
I think that's what it pretty much comes down to.
We're pretty much controlled by the U.S. dollar.
At the end of the day, that's where they have all that power and all that control over us because they can click two, three buttons, shut everything down.
That's militant fascism.
Do you think that people in Texas, South Dakota are going to be like, oh, no, I guess I have to comply with Joe Biden?
You got Wyoming and West Virginia, the deepest Trump-supporting states in the country.
You think these places are going to be like, oh, geez, I guess I have to comply? Or do you think they're going to be like, screw you? Yeah, they're going to say screw you, and then think these places are going to be like oh geez i guess i have to comply or do you think they're like screw you yeah they're going to say
screw you and then their bank accounts are going to get frozen and then they'll there'll be like a
state uh issue with the governor whatever is going to be like to the local you know local banks that
are only in these certain areas undo it you can't do that yeah governors will intervene and then the
federal government will probably try to hit those banks and shut those local banks down.
There's always that, like, who's got the bigger hammer when it comes to that situation?
Who's got more control over the powers of control?
The businesses will switch to crypto.
Yeah, Florida will spin up their own crypto.
And then the federal government will make that crypto illegal, probably a felony.
And then they'll start, they'll withhold tax money to the state and then you might
see other states join in and you could see definitely then maybe not civil war but intense
civil conflict dude we're in a civil political conflict no no no we're we're in a civil war
you gotta define war but i mean fifth generational it seems like this is a fifth generational civil
war this is a mental fourth and fourth uh war. This is a mental civil war.
Are you familiar with fourth- and fifth-generational warfare?
I guess explain it to me.
I'm familiar, but better explain it. We'll start with, I assume, first-generational warfare is like two people punching each other in the face and charging at each other.
But in order to gain control of resources or influence over a city or region or other group of people, you can't convince them.
It goes into kinetic conflict, physical confrontation. There's been multiple generations. There's been espionage.
There's been cyber warfare. We are moving into the era now beyond all that, which is fourth and
fifth generational warfare. Fourth generational warfare is when it's not necessarily nation
states anymore. It's people flying different banners within states and between states,
insurgent groups, groups like the Taliban, groups like Al Qaeda, and groups like Antifa.
Fifth generational warfare is more in winning control of resources by controlling people's
minds through propaganda and information. So in that regard, no doubt, the culture war,
they call it, right?
It's been called a cold civil war over and over again.
The problem I have with that phrase cold is that, I don't know, there was a dude in Portland who took two bullets to the chest by a guy who was stalking him and had a communist tattoo on his neck.
Seems hot.
Yeah, you've got – Well, it's limited.
Those are the – you'll see limited pockets of violence in like even the civil war.
I mean there was Korea – or not the civil war rather, the cold war with Russia.
We had Korea, which was like a-american conflict but in the proxy of
a guy getting sort of but that's like communist factions supported by a larger state versus
free enterprise factions supported by another state that wasn't the u.s engaging in direct
conflict yeah indirect that's why they call it the cold war it was a war but it was proxy
now what we're seeing in the United States isn't Cold Civil War.
When you have people fighting in the streets, and there was a shootout last weekend, and there was a shootout the weekend before that.
And like, how about 100 days of violent rioting in Portland with firebombs?
And then when Donald Trump is like, we're going to send some feds together, they're like, oh, fascist, fascist.
It's like, dude, you're firebombing buildings.
And then you had the uh oregon governor
i think it was the ag sue the federal government over their attempts to enforce the law now you
get the democrats in the federal government they're going nuts and now it's the the so here's
what i said when the blue state was suing you know donald trump uh the federal government over trying
to enforce the law and stop the uh the fireb the riots. I was like, this is it.
People live in, you know, they view history through condensed lenses,
where you open a book and you read about the Civil War,
and it's like, on this day, this happened, on this day, this happened,
on this day, this happened.
And you're like, wow, and you're reading it all really fast,
not realizing for the people living it, yo, it was years.
Five years?
The Revolutionary war was 20 years
there were people who were born after the first conflict in the american revolution
and and rebel sentiment and then fought in the war for two years they were born into it this
stuff went on for a really really really long time I also feel like the transfer of information back then
definitely took a lot longer than now it is.
Right, and that's why it's accelerated now.
I mean, you wanted to draft a letter.
It takes a month to have these meetings
where they finally agree on the letter.
Then it takes three months to get to the crown.
Then the king finally gets a chance
to go through the letter, reads it,
crafts a response with his advisors
and goes to parliament.
It takes a month.
Three months later, it comes back to the states and then doesn't even go to every single state.
You know, so that could have taken a year just to have one message.
Now it's all different.
But here's what happens.
Oregon sues the federal government.
I said, this is it.
I mean, the federal, the state is rejecting federal authority to enforce the law on federal
property in their state.
This is where it begins.
Now, Joe Biden is trying to enforce federal decree on red states,
and they're going to be doing the same things.
Yo, I love it when people are like, I was talking to Russell Brand.
I did the Russell Brand podcast recently, and he brought up, he's like,
you know, you've talked quite a bit about civil war in the past.
And I was like, yeah, that's true.
And I was like, there's a lot of things you need to understand about that.
For one, I was right.
Okay.
And we just had a shootout last weekend and the weekend before that.
And you might say, oh, but those are just shootouts.
Do we have shootouts five years ago?
It wasn't happening.
But let's break this down.
I was like, we had numerous articles from The Atlantic and all these other smart people about the possibility
of a civil war escalating in the United States, especially with Donald Trump getting elected.
You then had a Princeton professor saying, I think it was in 2016, we are in a cold civil
war.
This was a long time ago.
And that sentiment emerges.
And then we see the battle for Berkeley, the base stick man, old women getting explosives
thrown at him.
I was watching this stuff happen on the ground in San Jose and Berkeley at these Trump rallies.
And then I was like, yo, people have lost their minds.
You don't see a de-escalation when people want to tit for tat.
So I was like, I think we're going to see a civil war.
And it's not always the – like when you saw those people assault Larry Elder, those
are obviously like LA crackheads that are just radical crackheads
just roaming the streets,
probably don't even live anywhere.
Yeah, but they have access to political information.
They're being indoctrinated.
What I'm saying is,
at that Berkeley one,
I think you were there
and I was there at the same time.
I noticed an older crowd
who looked normal.
They looked like they could have been teachers.
Waving little Trump flags.
No, no, not that.
They were picking up rocks.
They were on the antifa side. They picking up rocks oh wow throwing them at trump
supporters and i saw them there and i was undercover because i wanted to you know capture
what was going on i told them like hey guys i'm like you might want to get out of here this is
like nasty because they would just look like regular people that just probably walked down
the wrong street and recording it and then i looked back at the tape and they were picking
up rocks and throwing it at the trump supporters so So where, where did we end up, right? To have people come
to me and, and, you know, I love these, these, you know, bread tubers and leftists being like,
ha ha, Tim Pool thinks civil war. And I'm like, well, since those predictions, which I've continued
to make, we had January 6th where about a thousand people stormed into the Capitol building. Well,
I should say a large number of them stormed the front gates and a lot of people were escorted in by cops opening the
door, but they did disrupt the Electoral College vote count. Now, a lot of Trump supporters think
that it was effectively a setup in that police were standing down, that Pelosi didn't get,
you know, a national guard in there. Regardless, people fought with cops to get into the Capitol
building. They had no real plan.
That's what the FBI report says.
But they did shut down the Electoral College vote.
I'm not here to overplay this and call it an insurrection.
I'm saying, yo, that's unprecedented.
And what did we see around the same time?
We had, I think it was 48 states involved in a lawsuit over how the election was handled.
And I'm sitting here like, yo, I've been telling you people shooting each other
in the streets, a dude being killed,
then Trump having feds hunt down the guy
who did it and kill him.
Like, yo, we are dangerously close
to this stuff falling apart.
John Podesta, as reported by the Boston Globe,
said that if Trump wins in 2020,
the West Coast should secede from the union.
A new YouGov poll, data showing
that in the United
States, five different regions, 37.2% of the American population wants their region to secede
from the union, a lawsuit between 48 States contesting the election. And to this day,
what 80 million, or I think it's like two thirds of Republicans distrusting the election results.
How are you going to come to tell me I, had people on this show we wrapped up one show and
one dude who came on was like no i think everything's going to go back to normal everything's
fine and i was like what what part of people shooting each other beating each other in the
streets massive lawsuits between states quantum computing neural net fusion what what's there's
no normal baby i'm talking about everything changing. What part of the active conflict makes you think things will stop?
Has Joe Biden come out and said, I want to be a good president to everyone in this country?
And knowing that there are 80 million Americans who are skeptical and hesitant to vaccines, I want to have a conversation with you and work with you.
That's why I'm going to be announcing a new plan to work with Republican leaders and have discussions over protecting civil liberties.
No, he doesn't do that.
He says – what did he say?
We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin.
Power.
Who's he talking about?
That's right.
I mentioned this before.
When he came out, when Texas and Florida announced that they were shutting – they're like, we're not going to do these shutdowns.
We're not going to have these mandates.
He came out and said, we may need more restrictions.
We may need more mask mandates.
And that was an important point earlier this year.
I said, who was he talking to?
He wasn't talking to Texas.
He wasn't talking to South Dakota.
South Dakota never shut down.
He wasn't talking to Florida.
No, he was talking only to blue states.
Joe Biden is the president who comes out on TV and says us and we against you.
You know, he just he just pulled off the biggest, in my opinion, military blunder in American history.
He surrendered to the Taliban after a 20-year war that we had control.
We were in control.
And that helped China, I think, more than anybody else.
It devastated not only the way we look in the world.
Who would trust us to ally with us if we're going to walk away and leave them to die afterwards?
If we're looking at who benefits the most from everything that Bideniden's doing i don't have to say probably china's benefit
in the most so he's saving face this is him coming out hard out of the closet to be angry to take the
immediately i'm like what is he talking about anything other than afghanistan for right now
he wants to focus on how cool he how strong he is this is total total power play another thing i
agree this this policy doesn't
fly it's going to get sued into oblivion he'll probably try and bypass supreme court anyway
but boy did it change the conversation we're talking about this instead of afghanistan now
yeah another thing is like i i wonder because i know you were saying that they kind of want
the states to split in a way where like florida is its own state i i wonder how that's going to go because
i know in new york city i'll just use this as a smaller scale example my hometown staten island
it's technically part of new york city pays new york city taxes pays new york state taxes
but everyone in staten island for the most part it's the only republican borough out of the
entirety of new york city it's not even it's not anything like anything else in New York City geographically and the
people, but they refuse to let Staten Island secede from New York City.
They just refuse.
I believe it's because they don't want a part of New York that's not adherent to the New
York City tax code and just have everybody from New York City just living over there in Staten Island.
Because what would happen is tons of businesses will just – okay, we're just going to go right over the bridge.
We're going to just move right over the bridge, and Manhattan would just lose tons of business.
New York City tax I think is like 3.5% or something.
Yeah, 3.5%.
And there's no reason for Staten Island to be paying that
because we're nothing like the rest of the city.
It's just a completely different world.
It might as well just be New Jersey at that point.
And I feel like that's going to be the same exact thing
when it comes to Florida and Texas.
If they want to secede,
if Florida and Texas ever did get out of there,
they're either going to have to, one,
try to destroy the economy of those states as much as possible
so this way no one would ever want to live there,
or they would have to force them to stay because they don't want it to become a beacon of freedom the economy of those states as much as possible. So this way, no one would ever want to live there.
Or they would have to force them to stay because they don't want it to become a beacon of freedom where 0% taxes, every business, just come here.
You've got no federal government breathing down your neck.
You want to have your trillion dollar business here?
You want to have your small business here?
Yeah, just come here.
No one's going to bother you.
Just come here and do whatever you want.
And check it out right now.
There's a lot going on with these vaccine mandates.
Truckers.
If the truckers of the United States right now said,
I'm good,
strike.
Whole country shuts down.
Everything.
Everything shuts down.
They have all the power.
People don't realize.
When you zoom out on America,
you look at America
on the satellite map.
You look at it in real time.
I'm not saying you actually
have access to do that,
but let's say you could. You know what you see on the roads? You know what you see on all the highways? You look at it in real time. I'm not saying you actually have access to do that, but let's say you could.
You know what you see
on the roads?
You know what you see
on all the highways?
They look like veins.
And you know what
those trucks are?
Those are the red blood cells
carrying the oxygen
to all of the major centers
to make sure that people
can survive.
How does it work with Amazon?
Do they own their own
truck drivers?
Oh, dude, when you order,
so in rural areas,
when you order from Amazon,
it comes,
it gets delivered
to a post office and then it either come, or areas, when you order from Amazon, it gets delivered to a post office.
And then it either comes – or actually, when we order on Amazon, we get UPS, FedEx, and postal deliveries for Amazon stuff.
When in the cities, there's an Amazon warehouse, and they hire their own drivers.
And the person will show up, put it in their car, drive it to you.
Not here.
We get that sometimes.
But typically, it has to be delivered through a it's still got to go from the production center and the warehouse to these
distribution centers either way so it's got to come from a big truck then their little drivers
can handle it well here's here's the important point let's say you live in texas no vaccine
mandates they're like we got we got a shipment it's going out to new york can't do it yeah
because if i go there i'm not going to be able to eat any food or go to restaurants.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to be able to go into the gas station.
Sorry.
Actually, not even going to be able to go into the warehouse to drop it off.
Now, there may be some exceptions like, oh, you're just dropping something off.
Fine.
You're getting takeout.
New York says it's fine.
There's probably reasons why they did this.
But how many of these truck drivers are going to be like, and not worth worth the risk i'm not going to drive all that way for this job and then
find out that i can't even interact the other way is different new york will be able to go to texas
vaccinated new york truck drivers will have no problem going to texas so it's all going to start
flowing towards these red things these cities are the ones that really need these imported
supplies and goods too yeah i i think um you know i don't know exactly how this plays out
you know i've said for a long time civil war and we were just talking about that but i do think
based on that you gov data about it's 37.2 percent of people want their region to break apart from
the united states or i'm sorry yeah yeah each different uh region has a different population
size but overall in the united states there's a 37.2% of people want their region to break apart.
I look at that and I'm like, maybe it's just Balkanization.
Maybe that's not even the right word for it because you talk about the Balkan Wars and stuff and the Balkanization that happened.
Maybe what we're going to see is a little bit different and it's more going to be just a disillusion of the union.
Decentralization of the union.
The states become the states and take care of their own business and that's it i think we've been in maybe not a civil war but with first of
all the federal reserve really those guys really want to take control of the american economy
which they kind of did then the soviets we had the communist american conflict so then we had
the chinese which we still have so it's like we've been in this conflict for for 100 years and it's
it's evolved and morphed into a different shape where it's like me and you and you,
we all have these different opinions now.
Your neighbors aren't the people that you relate to.
And so there's all this psychological conflict that's being sown.
And I hate seeing Americans versus Americans on this.
I don't think that's what it is.
We got divided over the last 15 years really, really sadly, unnecessarily.
It's more than just an american problem it's a global
problem and i think we really need to be unified in order to closer and closer to what's happening
in australia that's where we're oh yeah i'm sorry i gotta i gotta disagree with you you you you
constantly you know want to like you hold this belief of like we shouldn't be divided people
should come together but i think you missed the boat on that one a long time ago.
I can't stop, though.
I can't stop myself.
I get it.
But look, these are the things I was talking about in 2016.
Yeah, I was in 2007.
Hey, guys, we shouldn't be hyperpolarizing like this.
We can't just be pointing the fingers.
2018, I'm like, yo, this fighting's got to stop.
I actually said people should stop showing up to these things to just simmer down.
I understand people want to go out and protest. They have a right to do do it but all it's going to do is create a tit for tat so why don't people just chill out right now now we're
at the point there is no turning back you got people like hassan piker one of the biggest if
not the biggest independent political commentator cheering for nationwide rule by decree, cheering for it, mocking those as you have someone,
Biden in office, violating like overtly violating the Constitution, the law,
overruling legislation, Supreme Court on multiple occasions. And he's cheering for it while at the
same time, you have some of these same people saying the abortion law in Texas is wrong.
The government, you know, my body, my choice.
Oh, but this is contagious.
We shouldn't allow it.
We shouldn't allow the virus to kill people, but we should be allowed to abort babies.
See, there's no there's no logical consistency other than give me the power to enact the
things I want.
There is no reconciling that in when these people by like 54 believe the economy is doing good right now
there's i'm sorry man they come out and they claim that every trump supporter is ingesting
horse paste which is just not true it's a small they did the same thing with the trump and the
bleach situation right right it's a it's it first of all trump said something dumb and they act like
people actually believe that stuff but i'll tell you this the reality independent voters
and republican voters are not running around in jet ingesting horse paste it's just not happening
some some people are and it's stupid thing the irony is the guy that they're making fun of joe
rogan ended up getting better in like three days but he went to a doctor and the doctor gave him a
prescription he got monoclonal antibodies which is an fda authorized treatment and that's probably
what did it yeah but here's the point we we can say definitively, yeah, we know there are dumb people going to Tractor Supply. You go to Tractor Supply,
there's horse face missing because people bought it, but they only had like 30 boxes anyway.
So there's not tens of millions of crackpots. You look at the Republicans right now,
the Republicans in the polls, a large portion do not like the Republican party because they're
paying attention. Independent voters think the economy is bad, don't like the Republicans or the Democrats.
The metric, Democrats believing the economy is good, is proof.
These people live in Wally World.
Evidence, evidence.
It's not proof.
But there's only like 3,000 people, though, that I think that study.
It was only like 3,000.
What study?
That showed the Democrats thought the economy was good.
No, it's like 100,000. Is it? I thought that was a different study. economy was good no it's like a hundred thousand is it i thought that was a different study no no it's like a hundred still
only maybe they think it's good because they're getting their checks in the mail right no it's
because joe biden got elected and also there's a spike in people believing the economy was gonna
get a hundred thousand morons in any political party here's the other thing i guess when it
comes to the ubi and all these checks that everyone's been getting i guess andrew yang
and the whole i guess uBI socialist crowd are saying,
we need this money, we need this money, it will be productive, it will go to good,
it will help us do this, help us do that.
And what happens when a lot of these people get their money?
Louis Vuitton stock skyrockets.
Because they're going to be buying Gucci bags, Louis purses, whatever they're doing.
I live in Vegas now, and I've been flying back and forth.
And what I noticed is probably 75% of the flights have been extremely ghetto, extremely
rowdy, no flight etiquette.
I'm getting on the plane.
Have you seen these videos?
People fighting and boxing on planes?
They're coming on the planes, and they got boom boxes, and they're blasting music.
They're cursing at the flight
attendants they're yelling at the pilots oh we're gonna have a 10 minute delay landing a little bit
busy today you're a lion to us you're effing lion to us get us off freaking out and this is like 75
percent of the flights i've been going on lately in and out of vegas have been like that also i
talked to a lot of people on the strip a lot of security they said uh at the time when i was
talking they said crime has been going up on the strip. And I asked why I came to the conclusion. I think this might be true
that because the airlines and the casinos are all giving these deals to get people back into the
city and people are all having these checks come in the mail that never earned it. And they just
want to go blow it. And they're getting, you know, less desirable people coming into town,
starting problems, starting crime. I even, when i was in the casino uh not too long
ago i had i think three people try to start a fight with me one person tried to start a fight
with me because they asked if i liked alex jones and they tried to start a fight with me they asked
you yeah they asked me because i was having a political conversation with my friend's mom and
they turn around they're like you like alex jones i'm like i think he's cool he's definitely entertaining well you're uh and he just called me you know
one of these words that i can't say no not not he definitely called you a slur yeah the r one
the things that youtube bans us for yeah i was like dude just go just go away from me and then
like literally i go to another table and someone like yells jo Joe because the guy next to me, his name was Joe.
He wasn't with me.
And I, like, glance back, and I look back.
He's like, and I wasn't effing talking to you.
And he starts to try to size me up.
I'm like, bro, get out of here.
Like, what are you doing?
I'm going to point something out to you, Ian, that I think is really, really important.
Right now, you talk about, you know, you want unity and how we can't have this polarization.
And it's not the people.
We got to blame somebody else.
You have high profile, verified influence, influential personalities with, you know, millions of followers who are cheering for the complete destruction of the American form of government, that we have a checks and balance, that we have checks and balances, that we have an executive, a legislative, and a judicial branch, all equally
powerful, calling each other out when they step out of the line.
Right now, you have many people.
I mean, just go on Twitter.
You can see them all.
These are the people on the left in the establishment celebrating that what Joe celebrating what Joe Biden did on numerous occasions, bypassing the American way of government.
These people are acting against the American way of government.
Let me explain something.
When Barack Obama, you know, he wants to do DACA, right?
Deferred action for childhood arrivals.
I think it's what it means.
There's a question over, well, the president can give orders to the executive branch and how they handle certain cases.
So there's a legal question there.
And a lot of people argue, this is legislation.
Obama should not be able to do this.
And then others argued, well, he can simply tell ICE not to enforce it because he can instruct
them to do it. And that's, well, that's executive branch. And then you got to get lawsuits. Lawsuits
got to get involved. When Donald Trump wants to have a travel ban based on this list of countries
of threats, some argue, well, that's got to go through legislation. Yeah, but it's also that
the president has the ability to declare emergencies and take
executive action.
That's the point of the executive branch.
What Joe Biden did today, mandating that businesses with 100 employees or more be fined $14,000
if they don't get weekly tests or verify vaccination is overtly a legislation thing.
When Joe Biden bypassed a Supreme Court ruling by enacting a new
eviction moratorium, he directly spat in the face of the Supreme Court, violating in no uncertain
terms the checks and balances of this country. And now you have people on the left celebrating this.
How do we move forward as a country when half of the political population because not every
person in america is celebrating the collapse of the american way of governance like the left's
ideology i say this all the time on my show basically the same way you just said it too
is their their ideology is just a sliding scale where they can go from we need to support abortion right to murder
babies in the womb that's my right it's like the only time they care about their constitutional
right is when it comes to murdering and aborting babies um but when it comes to forcefully getting
vaccinated being locked in the house all this all that that comes with it uh for the public health
and public safety all of a sudden the constitution doesn't exist. Your rights don't exist. But it's just like they have – their whole entire ideology is a sliding scale with no consistencies in about what benefits them at that moment at that time.
But it's also – I think you'll understand this, Ian.
We cannot be a civilization of people fighting for 100 percent safety.
It's impossible.
But that seems to be what the left right now is saying.
Sacrifice everything for more safety.
We saw it in the colleges when they created the safe spaces.
If a lecturer says a naughty word and you're offended,
here is a pastel room full of stuffed animals and beanbags for you to go crying.
Those are real things.
Well, big tech companies had safe spaces for when trump won the election that's like oh they were crying yeah so these are people who are voting and enforcing safety safety safety above all else
after january 6th i i know a bunch of people that work for companies and their companies had uh
mental health days after the january 6th remember that that, yeah. Yeah, a lot of that.
And they still have mental health days whenever something big happens in the news,
which is utterly pathetic in my book.
We're watching this happen, that safety has become paramount over everything else.
And what did Ben Franklin say?
Those that would sacrifice freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.
And here's the thing is us Republicans or people on the right, we don't care what people on the left do.
Like me personally, I would rather us just kind of split.
You live your life.
Let me live my life.
But it's – they can't let that happen.
They want to force us to live by the rules that they want them to live by.
It's like they can't just say, hey, can we just all just throw ourselves in florida just leave us alone like we'll all just stay in these
states stop telling us what to do just leave us alone we won't bother you you won't bother us
but they know and i think when it comes down to a lot of like the truck drivers and the unions they
kind of need us for that and california is always like oh we have the biggest economy in the state
well listen the biggest economy in the world why Well, listen. The biggest economy in the world.
Biggest doesn't mean best.
Why would anyone give up their serfs?
Yeah.
So you've got Eastern Oregon wanting to secede from the state.
It's like, we don't need Amazon.
Why would Portland allow their serfs who pay taxes to leave the state?
No, no, no.
We need those resources.
We need that access.
It's leverage for us.
They need to force us, yeah.
But you've seen it, right?
I mean, the constant drive towards safety. We can't do that. We can We need that access. It's leverage for us. But you've seen it, right? I mean, the constant drive towards safety.
We can't do that.
We can't live that way.
People think, seems that people think that COVID is deadly like smallpox or like polio.
Like it's a debilitating, crippling disease.
It's not good for you.
And it definitely seems to have detrimental effects.
But to act like it's as dangerous as polio, I get it.
Suspend habeas corpus.
If there's a life-threatening, devastating virus that's causing people to fall down,
their arms are rotting off, they're bleeding out of their face,
you call off habeas corpus and you heal the people with whatever you have.
But that's not what we saw.
We saw an incredibly transmissible disease that's, what is it, 99.4% of the people that get it, I think, come out of it okay.
I think that's the number.
Is that people who tested or people who actually got it?
Of cases, of confirmed cases.
99, over 99% of the people are coming out okay from this.
And now the CDC has said twice as many people have been infected as per previously.
So that'd be 99.5%.
Well, it doesn't change.
I was reading about this.
It doesn't change case fatality.
But the point is, it means a lot of people who have gotten this didn't realize it.
And I'll tell you this.
We've had people on the show.
And when you actually have someone explain to you what getting COVID was like, you really don't want to get it.
I've had the flu, and the flu was a nightmare.
I lost 20 pounds overnight.
I was shaking.
I was pale.
It used to kill people.
Oh, yeah.
Back then, you knew you had the flu.
You knew you were going to be fine.
I had COVID.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You thought you were actually going to die.
Dude, I lost 20 pounds overnight.
I was like, I need to go to the hospital.
I'll say for normal people when they get the flu.
But here's the point I need to go to the hospital. I'll say for normal people when they get the flu.
But here's the point I wanted to make.
That when it comes to COVID, you hear about, you know, we had someone on the show explaining how all of a sudden one day he couldn't breathe anymore.
He couldn't have a conversation.
He's like, I got to go to the hospital.
We had John Pierce on the show.
And then a month later, he's in the hospital.
Because like, so that's something to consider.
It is more, I think it's twice as deadly or it's more deadly than the flu.
We're dealing with something different now with the variants.
They're more infectious.
There's long-term effects.
They're not as deadly.
I don't have the full numbers to pull up.
But I think here's where we need to be.
COVID is scary.
Long-term health effects for younger people are bad.
Mortality tends to be for older people.
There's some promising studies on therapeutics
and alternative treatments.
There's some vaccines.
Hey, how about we be honest about the whole thing,
not force people to do it?
And every time I see one of these stories where they lie
and they say things like,
the man grasped my hand and said,
please, I just wish I took the vaccine.
I'm like, that didn't happen, dude.
Because there was one woman who claimed it.
And then a bunch of people called,
like they pulled up the CDC data on the hospital and found out she made it up.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, it's like, dude, no one in these age groups were in your hospital with COVID.
Or how about the ivermectin thing in Oklahoma?
When all these outlets fall for it.
This is why there are skeptics.
Because the media lies over and over again.
Is the Oklahoma ivermectin thing where they said 70% of all the poison control calls were for people that – but then it turned out –
2%.
70% of the 2% of the calls were for ivermectin.
So like 1.6% of the calls were –
That's a great story.
We have yet to go on that on this show.
Did you talk about it on your –
No.
That's hilarious i was gonna say another thing is like imagine if covid was actually as bad as they're saying it or pretending it is or
promoting no no no no we wouldn't be having this conversation no no if the government for the most
part stayed out of it i feel like i'm just such a believer in the free markets and the people and
you know people making the right decisions uh based on the truth and based on the information
i feel like if there was an actual disease killing let's say five to ten percent of
the people it touches i feel like we would make personal yes changes to our own life it would be
my life's goal to help people joey yeah i'm gonna stay home that actually seems bad people my age
dying i'm not gonna go out listen listen covid is exactly as bad as they say it is. COVID is absolutely as bad as they've been saying it is.
The problem is they're cowards who want to live in bubble wrap in a safe space instead of realizing that freedom comes with risks.
So I'm the kind of guy who's like, hey, we decided to move out in the middle of nowhere.
There are bears out here.
And somebody recently was posting about how like there were bears
outside their houses we get messages flagged in our facebook group it's like guys guys there's a
bear everyone you know stay inside wild cats and stuff yeah welcome to mountains we choose to live
in these areas we have more freedom and greater risk that's on us the problem is when you get
these people who see something like covid and then say shut her her down. Everyone, even you in the middle of nowhere.
You work from home?
Vaccine mandate.
And the thing is, like, if I died from COVID tomorrow, I don't want to be used politicized as, oh, he was anti-vaccine, whatever.
He should have.
He only would have lived if he only took the vaccine.
If I die from COVID tomorrow, the end of the day, that's my choice.
Because if I didn't take the vaccine and I died from it or because i went out and got myself sick that's on me you do you got to be real careful about dying from covid and dying with
covid because some people die from like a heart attack and they have covid and then they get
counted one of the biggest spins that they did i think it was in california when when it first
started it was like an 18 year old 17 year old kid uh died with covid but apparently he was doing
steroids and his like heart exploded
and they tested him and he had covid and they ran the headlines 17 year old high school student
young healthy played football died with from covid however they did the spin try to scare
younger people at the time they do it with you know when a baby dies from covid too they do all
these spins you read the article and you go down to the bottom you you're like, oh, okay, so that's the truth.
But they got the headline out.
Let's talk about what's going on
with the executive branch
because as much as I think
these like Democrat voters
who are just,
let's just use a cliche,
sheeple,
who are just bleating
at the calls of their grifter class
and the executive branch,
I think Joe Biden knows exactly
what he's doing.
I said earlier that the mandate, the decree over vaccine mandates is intended just to
cause chaos and sow dissent within the states and break apart the bonds of this country.
And I think I've got some more hard evidence for that.
From John Bogage, I'm sorry, Jacob Bogage.
He is a Washington Post reporter covering the U.S. Postal Service,
and he says, news White House official tells me USPS workers are not included in President
Biden's vaccine requirement, but we strongly encourage them to comply with these standards.
It's a massive chunk of the federal workforce, 644,000 and growing that's not required to be
vaccinated. This is stunning. One of the things
we've learned during the pandemic is the Postal Service is a key part of the national infrastructure
and Homeland Security. We've seen what's happened to the service when there have been pandemic
related staffing shortages, but USPS workers are exempt. To put in context, OSHA will find a
business more than $14,000 for testing violation, but the U.S. Postal Service, a Goliath of a federal agency, is exempt.
He says, quickie, write up on the USPS exemption,
then he links to the source.
Do you know what this means?
That means that Biden knows that they would refuse
and have to fire a bunch of postal services and we can't.
Yep.
That means when it comes to U.S. federal infrastructure,
they said, we can't deal with staffing shortages
in the post office exempt
them but that means biden knows this mandate will result in massive resignations across the country
so it's on it's it's intentional he knows what's going to happen from this and he's shielding the
federal government from it the only thing i can see is that they want people to quit they want
the labor shortages they want the staffing they can see is that they want people to quit. They want the labor shortages.
They want the staffing.
They want the food shortages.
They want the collapse of business.
They know it is happening.
They want freedom-loving people
to not be able to properly contribute
to the society anymore.
It's the great reason.
They might be stupid and afraid.
It might be that.
It might not be anything malicious they
really think they're helping is that possible no no no no no he thinks he's saving people
no this is the point it's incredible for for the white for biden to come out and be like yeah he
knows we are going to exempt the post office and they're they're concerned about staffing shortages
they know the mandate will just result in people quitting their jobs.
At a time when we have 10.9 million job openings, a record number, we only filled 235,000 positions
and it's expected to get worse because the great resignation is escalating. Then Joe Biden does
this signaling he knows this will result in mass resignations. Yo, I hope you're ready for the
shortages. Google search closed comma shortages and have fun scrolling through the tens of thousands of news stories
every day for the months about every business that's closed due to labor and supply shortages
and if you quit your job over not getting the vaccine i think in most places i don't know how
if it's a federal thing or a state thing you you don't even qualify for any benefits or unemployment.
They're just not going to let you.
What if you get fired if you refuse to quit and then they have to terminate you?
I don't know, but they're trying to.
Because nowadays, like, there's so many job openings.
There's so much benefits that you can do where you can quit your job and just live off the government until you find another job, which there are tons of jobs for you to find.
They kind of want to make it harder for you to do any of that.
They don't want you to get any unemployment.
I don't remember if that went to a factor or if that was federal.
They ended the federal benefits.
The eviction moratorium is over.
And a lot of conservatives have been like, oh, this is good.
It means people will go back to work.
And I'm like, no, it doesn't.
People are quitting their jobs right now.
They call it the great resignation.
We lost, I think, 11 million jobs over three months from April, was april may and june 11 million jobs we didn't add that many we we we added
not like two point something million so people it's it's they're quitting their jobs they're
resigning you can't get unemployment when you do that i love how under trump when the lockdowns
were starting to come out trump beat all the job growth expectations all of it beat all of it like
by flying colors and as soon as biden came in immediately undershorting them by like large
margins like immediately there's a point where i say it feels like it's on purpose yeah because
this action they took with protecting the post office shows they know they know it's going to
destroy the economy the thing is i i keep coming to the point it's like why would even like the
deep state or the people you know whoever's pulling the destroy the economy. The thing is, I keep coming to the point, it's like, why would even the deep state or the people,
whoever's pulling the strings behind Biden,
if they had America's best interest in mind,
why would they be doing all this?
And usually the thought process I always come to is,
it must be China.
Yeah, I don't think it's America's best interest.
This all has China's best interest in mind.
China's got access to trillions of dollars worth of resources from the Taliban now in Afghanistan.
America's economy is going down.
In my opinion, I do believe cryptocurrency is probably going to end up hurting the U.S. dollar.
And we're just printing stuff all willy-nilly.
Like everything we're doing, China's looking at.
It's like, okay, great.
We're going to take advantage over these next four years.
Maybe even eight years.
Maybe 12 years. This is Thucydides' trap. Are you familiar? China's looking at it's like okay great we're going to take advantage over these next four years maybe even eight years maybe twelve years this is
Thucydides trap
you familiar we talk about it a bit
let me hear it so they say whenever
a rising
economic power is about to displace
the dominant economic power
war breaks out
well what's been happening between the US and China
there's been saber rattling but there's been cyber
war cyber war's been active that's U.S. and China? There's been saber rattling, but there's been cyber war.
Cyber war has been active.
That's like fourth generational warfare.
Now we're in full-scale propaganda.
You got John Cena issuing his Mandarin apology over accident.
What did he do?
He called Taiwan a country?
When it comes to John Cena in that specific situation,
part of me doesn't really blame him
because I feel like at the same time,
he was probably also looking out for everybody involved in those films that he's been making.
I blame him 100%.
Because that's the thing.
Bro, you've got to take responsibility.
You can't let people off the hook for this stuff.
I know.
I don't blame him, but I'm just trying to put myself in his point of view.
You make multiple $100 million movies.
You're the star of multiple $100 million movies.
You've probably got over hundreds of thousands of jobs on the line between the marketing department distribution
people in production your fellow actors everything people in the management's like
you know it branches out probably hundreds of thousands of dollars we're hundreds of thousands
of jobs based around him as being the centerpiece star of all these movies and all these movies are
now specifically uh pretty much tailored around getting the chinese
distribution so if he came out and if he was like i'm not going to apologize to china f china
they would instantly cut every single movie deal he had uh either some of these movies probably
would have been hundreds of millions of dollars in the toilet gone or they would spend tens of
millions of dollars to replace him good but then But then it hurts hundreds of thousands of people
who had nothing to do with anything.
Too bad.
The people in the production, the people in the unions.
Too bad.
Just all he has to do is say sorry.
We shouldn't be doing deals with the country
with concentration camps that are going to pull something like this.
No, we shouldn't.
We should say, do you want the movie or not?
Have it or leave it.
But people are greedy.
And so it's like, look, the people who did those jobs
got paid for those jobs.
He would probably be sued for hundreds of millions of dollars too.
Good. Take it.
I mean, maybe people shouldn't be such spineless, whiny babies.
I kind of draw the line between, I guess, stupidity and morality.
It's obviously from a morality point of view, he should have stood his ground.
Maybe many people would, but I feel like from the stupidity point of view,
it's like all you got to do
is say sorry to China
and everything gets to go,
keep going as normal,
or you don't say sorry
and now you're going to be
in the fight for your life
to the end of your life.
You're right.
It's just 15 days.
It's just a mask.
It's just a vaccine.
It's just a booster.
It's just a booster every five months.
It's just your twice daily Pfizer pill.
It's just, it's just, it's just.
No, you put your foot down and you say, sorry, China.
I'm apologizing for not apologizing.
Okay.
I'm saying, sorry, I'm not going to apologize to you.
I just think for him specifically, if I was in his shoes, I think it's just going to open up a whole can of worms of shit that he's going to have to deal with for the rest of his life just for two little words.
Yep.
So you want to bend the knee to the Chinese Communist Party,
or do you want to stand up and live on your feet?
I don't think that Hollywood should even be bending the knee at all to China,
which they are, the entire entertainment industry.
So if China offered you $50 million to start putting out video,
$50 million to start praising the CCP and saying communism is good, you'd do it?
I wouldn't go out of my way to start praising them,
like someone like, I guess, LeBron is doing, for example.
Like he's, you know, purposely not standing for the flag, kneeling.
I'm pretty sure he's came out and said some positive stuff about China.
Well, he was like, oh, we shouldn't get involved.
Yeah, I mean, John Cena, to my knowledge at least, he's not going out of his way to praise China.
He said one thing about Taiwan and then just backtracked it
and just went back his own path.
I don't see him as someone
that's going out there
praising the CCP every chance he gets.
He was like, hey, you said this one thing.
We can't have that.
We're going to lose billions of dollars,
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jobs.
We're going to sue you for $100 million,
all this, all that.
All we need you to do
is just issue this Mandarin apology.
Personally, I would cut my losses.
I would do it and live to fight another day.
Who knows?
Maybe John Cena will come out in 10 years.
Imagine if every single person said, no, China.
That has to come down to it.
Then people should stop going to the movies and tell.
Well, that's the thing is that's why the NBA doesn't care about the American audience anymore.
They're just going to get all their money from China.
Because people like John Cena will get on his knee and beg Xi Jinping. There's always going to get all their money from China. Because people like John Cena will get on his knee
and beg Xi Jinping.
There's always going to be people
that would do that.
Right.
They're bad people.
See, this is what we're experiencing right now.
You've got a lot of people
in the United States.
I said this the other day.
Some people got mad.
I'm not referring to any of our audience
as cowards.
We are a nation of cowards.
I'm not saying every person
in this country is a coward.
I'm not saying the history of this nation is built on cowardice.
Quite the opposite.
I'm saying our current generation is the good times making weak men.
We have a disproportionate amount of cowards who won't speak up for themselves or their
own families to save their own lives at their workplace.
And now where are we?
You know, we'll see where things go after this.
Maybe this is the point where Biden cranked the heat up on the boiling pot and the frogs
are going to jump out.
But I tell you, there's probably going to be a lot of people who still won't say anything,
who still won't protest.
And if you think it's bad right now, you're going to lose your job because of this overreach
by Biden.
This is one of the most extreme bits of overreach, you know, acts of overreach we've seen in
a long time.
If you do not speak now, I don't know what you can expect to have a year from now.
You know, you're like, but I have kids.
Yeah, well, I hope you're like...
That's what a lot of cops...
We'll teach your kid Mandarin already.
You know what I mean?
Just start teaching them Mandarin while you're at it.
That's what you're going to...
I'm not even kidding.
If you refuse to speak up and defend your rights
and stand up for your nation and the Constitution,
my advice to you is to get Rosetta Stone Mandarin right now.
That means 100% seriously.
Have your kids learn it. Learn it anyway.
I think Mandarin is great.
If we could communicate with the Chinese, man, that's the step we need towards a global peace.
They're going to need it when China is the dominant economic power putting pressure on the U.S. and straining us for resources, forcing us to adopt their cultural norms.
We're going downhill from here.
I was just thinking about unity because you were saying like I don't think unification
is necessarily the way.
And I'm thinking like just bland unification isn't – like Hitler unified Germany.
He was all about we must unify the fatherland.
Unify.
By killing people.
So unity for the sake of unity is not a net positive always.
What are we unifying behind?
The Fediverse?
A decentralized crypto-backed economy?
A new political system where we can remove the representatives and have direct representation?
I could see unifying behind a system.
But it's like the Constitution, American original Constitution.
They unified behind that.
It wasn't unifying behind George Washington and his ideas.
It's unifying behind a document.
You know,
you know why the constitution is amazing.
It's the amendment process.
The problem is the country has become so divided.
We can,
we can't amend it.
I mean,
like,
I mean,
we've had amendments in the past few decades,
but at this point we are really close to a convention of states,
which would be fantastic.
We need,
I think only a couple more states to be Republican. The is i don't think the republicans are going to do anything
but that's we could do that a convention of states is probably the direction we should go with the
internet the ability to get 100 million people on with their eyes on one thing at a time yeah i mean
most of these republicans are all just paid off by the same people the democrats are paying off
and i feel like for instance china has a population
on their side just an immense large population and that's going to be one of their biggest you know
leg ups against america and i feel like that is one of the reasons why the democrats are just
letting people from the the southern border just flood into this country just to increase our
population hand them all money
create more consumers hey everyone coming in oh we're gonna give you ten thousand dollars a month
go buy an iphone oh go use amazon here go get it house it's like it's fleet everything look when
you've got half the country cheering for the end of the american government i'm like you'd think
people in the american government would be like i have have a problem with this. The issue is, they're
not destroying it,
they're subverting it to use
the infrastructure of the government to
implement things they want.
So Joe Biden bypasses
the two other branches of government in one of the most brazen
acts of executive authority we've ever seen.
I'll be honest, Obama
straight up killed people, American
citizens without charge of trial.
Bush created that stupid Patriot Act.
Bush signed Presidential Directive 51, giving the president the ability to overthrow the U.S. government,
creating a new constitutional government with a continuity coordinator, centralized,
that it creates one unified branch in control of the other branches.
And the only requirements are that there be severe loss of life somewhere in the world.
So it's not been tested in the courts.
Supreme Court would say, screw if you can't do this.
But it'll be interesting to see now that Joe Biden has completely undermined the Supreme
Court and the legislative branch.
If he does say due to the widespread death of the pandemic and the refusal
of people to get vaccinated i hereby invoke national security presidential directive 51
there may have been an update to it like a newer version where he says we will create a new enduring
constitutional government with a new continuity coordinator we are in charge and that will it
will only be until 18 months from now and then it it will go back to normal. That's what they always say. That's what Castro said.
He'll say, and then there will be peace.
Come on, man.
And then you'll have –
The flag will drop down.
You'll have Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.
High-fiving, yeah.
High-fiving.
No, they'll be standing in the Senate, in the congressional building, and then Lauren Boebert will say,
so this is how liberty dies,
to thunderous applause.
He wasn't joking.
I thought Tim was joking.
He wasn't joking.
What do you mean?
What were you saying?
I was joking.
It's a Star Wars reference.
But it's kind of true.
Dude, we're on the verge.
I mean, Bush put us on the verge
of a totalitarian dictatorship
with these things that he signed,
the Patriot Act Directive 51.
But it's not just him.
It's been nonstop.
It's been since, who was that crackpot loser, Woodrow Wilson?
Woodrow?
Was that who it was?
Yeah, yeah.
Was he the Federal Reserve guy?
Yeah, he was bad news.
They call him the most fascist, worst president.
That guy was a jagmeat.
Awful.
Like, what's our way out of this now?
Well, crypto.
That's a big part of it.
I made a whole podcast episode talking about how I believe crypto could be used to lead us into a freer nation.
I think it's going to take a generation for that to happen because a younger generation like us, we understand what we get.
It's not about Bitcoin, not about Ethereum.
It's about the technology of being decentralized kind of off the federal grid.
And I believe the free market will have a lot of solutions to our current system.
And the reason why you're in the system now, you've got to build credit.
You've got to have enough payments to get a loan, to buy a house, and you're all part of the centralized grid.
And I feel like in the future, maybe five, ten years from now, the decentralized system will be able to replace a lot of that credit and loan structure.
I hear you, but part of you has to admit how cool would it be if Biden showed up for a presidential address in a black robe with his hood over his face and he's like,
The attempt on my life has left me scarred and disfigured.
He should do that.
The Republicans will be hunted down. Just kidding. Scott and his figure. Oh, man. He should do that. The remaining, the Republicans
will be hunted down.
Just kidding.
If he did that,
I would have some love
Just kidding.
No, I mean like
if he seriously was like,
the United States
will be reformed
into the first
planetary empire.
Galactic empire.
Well, we're not galactic.
Yeah.
I would be like,
I really hate this,
but oh,
it's so cool to see.
Yeah, finally. And then everyone cheers for it. I mean, we're pretty close to that. I would be like, I really hate this, but oh, it's so cool to see. Yeah, finally.
And then everyone cheers for it.
I mean, we're pretty close to that.
I was thinking about the idiosyncrasies of crypto and smart contracts and things like
the complexities of what we could build.
So you'd be in North Korea.
Not North Korea, but wherever.
You're in some other country.
I send you some crypto, which triggers a smart contract that tells Tim's crypto to
move to another account that then
tells the lights to turn on in a city.
So you can have these complex chains
of events that all occur just from moving one
token that all happens automated.
And a lot of people who are anti-crypto right now
they're all like, oh, Bitcoin
it's being controlled by the elites.
And I think to a certain extent a lot of these big
cryptocurrencies are probably being
controlled by elites. Like Elon Musk can make a couple of tweets and make it pump 50 percent or dump 50 percent, which I think Elon Musk is probably one of the biggest frauds of our entire generation right now.
You got to stop doing that.
You got to look at some of his projects like he's hit Elon Musk's entire business model is based off of getting gullible Democrats that want to believe in the future,
and they just spend all your tax dollars.
I mean, what do you mean?
SpaceX is particularly successful.
I mean, Tesla's not.
I've been watching a lot of stuff online, like breaking down his Hyperloop stuff.
He's been through so many things, and it's kind of like he went to a Future of Tomorrow conference
and just picked up a bunch of ideas, and they would break down the ideas.
Even his semi-truck, I don't want to get too much into the weeds with this stuff, but when you break down the economic viability of a lot of his projects, it's cheaper to use just railroad.
Well, Tesla, for instance, was effectively subsidized because of the tax credit you got.
It made it profitable.
But now that that's gone, I guess it's not going to make sense to make the cars anymore.
So, you know, I guess it was better.
And I was watching, like, I think a California representative went to his, like, Hyperloop thing,
and I guess they were putting a bunch of money into it.
Even that, like, underground Vegas railroad that he—not railroad.
Yeah, that underground tunnel.
Yeah, it was supposed to go 200 miles an hour.
It's, like, 30 miles an hour, and it's just like a Tesla car at a time.
It's like a complete flop, but they're getting all the money from the government, a bunch
of gullible Democrats that believe in clean energy, the clean world, the future, and they're
just throwing money at him.
Starlink is one of the most important infrastructure projects of our generation.
Apparently, that's another bust of his.
Why?
It's on. It's's working i don't know i watched i didn't get too much into the weeds about the
starlink but i was what i was watching something i gotta look more into i don't even want to talk
about if we can get high speed low latency internet everywhere in the country i can set up shop in uh
in central west virginia start hiring locals in West Virginia, bring back jobs to these areas.
I mean, that would be tremendous for small town, rural, you know, middle America. These people
get their jobs back. They'd have, they'd have purpose. Their families would start improving.
It would start revitalizing a lot of this country. When we, we recently drove into central West
Virginia, you see, you see the sad state of a lot of people's lives in these places where their jobs
are leaving. Some places in West Virginia are doing really, really well, actually.
They're bringing in more industry, power plants and things like that.
But a lot of these, there are a lot of towns that used to be like railway towns.
And the railway stops going there or coal mines dry up.
And now all of a sudden you've got a generation of families, multiple generations, and there's nothing left for them.
So the towns start collapsing.
People flood the cities desperate for work.
The cities are crooked and corrupt.
We get Starlink up and running.
You're going to see all of these areas light back up.
And it's going to help put an end to the opioid epidemic, giving people purpose and then giving
them jobs and bringing all these different, I guess, there's so many different jobs based
on technology you can be doing remotely.
You could have people working in just like central PA, central West Virginia, and Wyoming, Montana.
All of a sudden, Nebraska, these small towns that are falling apart come right back to life.
Saves a lot of people.
That's big.
That's why I'm rooting for Starlink, man.
I'm like, get it done.
Right now, I think they've got, I don't know how many satellites they have active, but I know their New York satellite is active, their array in New York, which means if you are in the New York
area, you're probably getting your Starlink activated right now. And it's like 100 megabits
up and down. Bro, if we had Starlink, we could do this show anywhere. We could theoretically,
you're not supposed to do it. We could put it on an RV and you get a 500 mile range. Right now,
the satellites are cell locked, which means if you have a New York satellite, it only
works in the New York region. So it's like a
500 mile radius. This says
there's 1,600 of them up right now.
Yeah, but they're not active for customers.
There's a guy you gotta watch on YouTube.
I don't know if he made a Starlink
video on it or not. His name's
Thunderfoot. Oh, I know that guy. Yeah, he makes
a lot of videos breaking down a lot
of Elon Musk's projects.
Because I was never an Elon Musk fan because I always knew the history of Tesla
and I guess his business history, Elon Musk,
and how he kind of rewrote his entire history to make himself look a lot better than he really is.
I always knew about that.
So I never liked Elon Musk until he started tweeting out like
against gavin newsom and pro freedom was like okay maybe i like this guy he was all about
cryptos the future's like maybe i like him until he started manipulating crypto prices and he
completely posting about falsehoods about bitcoin's like efficiency when it comes to you know
uh emissions and stuff and just it was all, like, false. I was like, wait, okay, this guy actually might be just full of shit.
He might be completely controlled by people.
And then I started going down the rabbit hole.
I was like, well, let me see more bullshit that he promotes.
Double-checked Thunderf00t's stuff because he debunked a piece of technology
I was working on, and then it got rebunked.
Like, they found out his debunking wasn't –
Yeah, it got rebunked.
Yeah, it got rebunked.
The solar-powered water condensers.
The air goes down underground, turns cranks, and then comes back up and out and condenses water.
He's like, it's not cold enough or it's not hot enough underground.
So I'm sure he's wrong about something.
Yeah, watch out.
I don't know too much about this.
I also like Elon's tunnel, his boring company.
Because I think once we go to Mars, we're all going to be living underground, personally.
It might be a few hundred years from now.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, we're subsidizing technology
that's like 80 years ahead of its time?
Yeah.
I don't think we're going to live on Mars, bro.
I don't think so.
Me and you may not.
There's no magnetosphere.
Not yet.
How are we going to make a magnetosphere?
Are we going to send Aaron Eckhart
down to the center of Mars
to drop a bunch of nukes
and ignite rotation in the core?
I don't even think there is a liquid.
Yeah, we need to start rotation in the core.
Is there a core?
I would imagine, yeah.
This might be a couple thousand years away if we survive that long.
You guys ever see that movie, The Core?
Pretty sure Aaron Eckhart was in it.
They go down.
What a silly movie.
One of those stupid doomsday movies.
It was like a whole bunch of those doomsday movies.
And now we got the pandemic.
I talk about art imitating life.
It's like they wanted this disaster.
We've had these stupid zombie movies and the end of days movies and all this crap.
What a disappointing disaster.
I know.
The disaster isn't the actual disaster itself.
It's the reaction to the disaster.
It's the reaction to the disaster that's the real disaster. What if we use an AI to create
TV shows
algorithmically, procedurally
generated entertainment?
So instead of having to... They have that for the news.
Well, yeah, they have robots that write articles.
It's really funny. There was one article about me
that said Timothy Poole was raised by his
mother, his father, Daniel Poole, and his
mother, Timothy Daniel Poole.
And then I was like, the robots, bless their hearts, they're trying.
My mom's name is not Timothy Daniel Poole.
Could you imagine that?
Like, your dad's name is...
That's a bit confusing.
Imagine your mom and dad, like, just meeting a woman with a man's name and having Daniel
as their middle name and being like, wow, this is amazing.
But anyway, they're trying.
Do something about that.
But imagine this imagine instead of creating hiring actors and all that stuff
we just create simulated universes where you know simulate simulated people live their lives
and then you create an interesting storyline you kick it off and then let the ai play it out
and people turn it on and watch it already have already have digital influencers. No, no, no. What I'm saying is
an entire
planet of people where you actually
can end up getting an unlimited stream.
The movie what? New Guy.
Free Guy? Free Guy. Yeah, but that's a video
game. I'm saying imagine if we procedurally
generated a planet with people, with countries
and we just watched interactions
for our own entertainment.
And what if that's the world we're living in now?
Yeah, that's us.
So it's like all this crazy stuff that's happening is like the simulation.
They say, why are we being – maybe it's just people who are like –
Interested in watching all this shit.
Well, it's entertainment.
It's like, man, I love watching that show.
They're real housewives, procedurally generated.
American Idol, procedurally – we've procedurally we gotta hire anybody just the
computer just did it and we watch it what if the trees planted us you know how we move really we
move so fast relative to the tree so from trees perspective we're zipping around like lightning
around it super fast what if a hundred million years ago it planted humans and then it's what
it's watched us grow this whole time but to a a tree, like 9,000 years is like a day.
So they get to watch us evolve over time.
And they get to watch us chop them down.
That wasn't part of the plan.
I don't know.
When Treebeard saw what Saruman had done, he wasn't too happy about it.
So, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
We've given birth to something.
There is no word in, what do we say, elvish, orcish, or common.
Did you see the movie Free Guy at all?
Yeah, I saw it.
It was good.
Yeah, because they did explore
a lot of what you were just saying.
Well, but the idea for, yeah, right.
Because he was AI,
he got consciousness,
and then at the end,
their utopia was,
oh, it's just a,
no one gets to play anything here.
They get to watch.
Right, right, right.
Okay, so yeah,
that's what you're saying.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So that, well,
you spoiled the movie, I guess.
I'm still going to watch it. It's been awful're saying. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so that, well, you spoiled the movie, I guess. I'm still going to watch it.
It's been awful long enough.
Yeah.
It's pretty good.
But it's, you know,
maybe that's the simulation
we're in.
I mean, like,
when you see how,
Luke's got this shirt,
Luke Gronkowski,
where it's like 1984,
Brave New World,
and what was the other dystopian?
YouTube?
No, no, no.
It's three dystopian novels.
I don't remember which one.
Fahrenheit?
Maybe.
And they're all together and it says, you are here.
And I'm like, you got to put V for Vendetta in there.
Because V for Vendetta was the one where a virus got released and killed a bunch of kids.
And the government then locked everybody down and issued martial institute.
Is that a book?
Did they write a book?
V for Vendetta was a graphic novel.
Oh, okay.
But it was, the movie is different.
I think the graphic novel was like a series.
It was very different because I love how people adopted the Guy Fawkes mask when Guy Fawkes was like a – what's the word?
Theocratic?
Theocratic fascist.
Yeah, yeah.
Is that what I'm thinking of?
Oh, he was?
Yeah, he wanted to blow up parliament to instill a Christian theocracy in the UK.
Oh, that's incredible.
Yeah, so I'm like, I don't know.
That's not a good guy.
Well, while we're talking about, I guess, some of the theories of existence,
I've been thinking about this one lately.
I want to know what you think.
And it's probably already a theory.
And I feel like what if – because everything I feel like we're experiencing,
we're experiencing memories.
Like right now.
It's already the past.
It already happened. like we're already
and we all know time is relative so what if the big bang or everything what if it all just happened
instantly time wise and it's just over in a blink of one kajillionth of a second and we're just
living memories oh it's all it's all relative right so like you know it all happens but we're
just in the memory you ever you ever use like universe simulator whatever it's called i've seen you just speed up time and watch years
pass and it's like it's like you were saying about trees watching it zap around time's relative man
um i was reading about there's like these tiny flies they're so small that they don't fly they
swim wow because the fluid of air yes Because they're actually like gripping the molecules and pushing them as if they're swimming and not flying.
It's crazy, right?
We might be able to do that one day.
And another thing that's crazy is like on our fingertip, there's like pretty much like an entire universe of organisms living on our fingertips.
Like size is relative.
Time is relative.
Another thing is math.
Math is like literally – it's crazy how that's like the key to like everything in existence.
We're mapping the source code of the universe.
But another thing that gets me thinking is there's an infinite number of numbers from zero to one.
Right.
It's like if you break that down on like time and seconds it's like there's an infinite amount of
points of a second within now just watch uh just watch ant-man and the wasp man the quantum
but in physics there's a thing called the casimir effect where when two numbers get close enough
together they basically fuse the two pieces of matter when they get close enough together they
suck they stick and no one really knows exactly why you know in outer space metal does it
in a vacuum you can take pieces of metal and just fuse.
Yeah, it seems like it gets so close that it pushes the matter out of the way between it,
and then it creates a vacuum, and then it sucks itself together.
It's the oxidized layer that prevents metals from bonding in our atmosphere.
So I wonder if numbers, theoretically, they don't.
Theoretically, numbers will always get half as close, half as close, half as close.
But in physics, there's the Casimir effect.
Another crazy thing is I guess the 80-20 rule.
What's that?
I forgot there's an actual name for it if you want to Google it real quick.
It's like a phenomenon that happens in pretty much almost everything.
There's exceptions to the rule, but it's like 80% of your business is from 20% of your customers. That holds throughout with like,
it was like 80% of all the words ever said and typed is like actually 20% of the actual vocabulary.
And like that kind of 80-20 rule
and the way it like progressively decreases
from like the number one most used this
to the second to the third,
it's like always follows the same trend lines
and the same path,
like throughout almost everything. We gotta go to Super Chats. super chats if you haven't already my friends smash the like button

But let's see what y'all got to say.
All right, let's see.
All right.
Pedro Henrique says,
time to be optimistic.
U.S. isn't doomed by Thucydides' trap.
CN bubbles slowly bursting
as its biggest real estate company,
China Evergrande,
shows to be 19 times debt to earnings.
U.S. is bleeding, but China's falling.
Wow.
That's what Peter was saying last night.
Patrick Conover says,
Biden said he's going to use his presidential power
to remove governors who oppose him.
The authoritarianism is growing right before our eyes.
Well, he said, get them out of the way.
Biden purging.
Yeah, Will Hallman says, Biden purging anyone who doesn't lick the boot.
Get them out of the way.
Yeah.
Michael Fernando says peak clown world is upon us.
That corpse in the White House has lost his damn mind and gone full tyrant.
We will not comply.
And then he says 1776 will come again.
AJ, great podcast.
Tim Kess crew.
And then he shouts out, Stick Saxon Hammer,
we'd love to have Sticks on the show.
You've got to get a soundbite of Alex Jones.
What does he say?
1776 will commence again.
He's like yelling it.
Who's he yelling at?
I thought that was a big mistake.
I think it was on his show.
It was on Piers Morgan.
And it's like, I'm like...
He did look a little crazy.
Right.
That's always been the problem I've had with Alex Jones,
going back to all of this stuff is that he always whenever
he gets on TV just says he just he's
nuts you know Charles Manson too he did
a some video or news thing where they
took a picture of him and he did a crazy
face and that picture got propagated
forever you got to be careful when you're
in the public eye of making a fool of
yourself on purpose because that will
track you forever so don't do it I can destroy you like that guy that won the election.
He goes, pyaaah.
Yeah.
That kind of destroyed him.
Pyaaah.
Who was that?
I don't remember.
Oh, yeah.
I don't remember.
He's an politician.
Tim, who was that?
Who was that?
The pyaaah guy.
Pyaaah.
I don't remember that guy.
It destroyed his career.
No one even remembers him.
Yes.
I feel like it happened nowadays.
He was just hugely popular.
He was like Hillary Clinton's VP pick in 2008 or something.
I just remember being young
and watching the trend. I used to watch Comedy
Central and all the late night.
Howard Dean.
I think he was working with Hillary.
I can't believe that one
was it Yeehaw or something?
We should pull it up and play it.
We've got to wait Super Chess.
Martin Edgar says
if you look at the executive order
legislators and their staff
are exempt from the
vaccine mandate
interesting
Alan Schorer says
it's never a good idea
to quote terrible Star Wars
but in this case
it's the best quote
I can think of
and this is how
the Republic ends
to applause
didn't you say
Liberty dies
and this is how
the Thunders
the Thunders applause
someone look up the
quote i'll look it up well the the new star wars movies made the the prequel good yeah yep i enjoy
the prequels now yes why i don't know it's it's it's more fun now watching it i guess uh because
it's corny you kind of know it's a little bit corny and if you like star wars you're like kind
of like into the the lore of it and just watching it all happen.
The new ones, they kind of just destroy it all.
What's your favorite force power?
I don't know.
When I was a kid, I always wanted to move things.
Whatever that is.
Force push or force pull?
Yeah.
What about you?
Probably the ability to influence the midichlorians to preserve life itself.
Well, that's powerful.
You must have mastered
both the light and the dark.
Well, if you truly want to understand
the nature of the Force,
you can't be scared of it
like the Jedi are.
Speak the truth.
That's right.
We're just referencing
Star Wars too much.
Tyler B. says,
You think the trucker shortage
is bad now?
Wait until 90% of them park
until this vaccine ordeal is over.
This country will come
to a screeching halt in days. Truckers have no respect for biden i'll tell you this and ultimatum
won't go as they plan and maybe that's the point maybe we need that maybe it's a great reset oh
you know one problem with that is it'll it'll come to a halt in a day but we won't see the
effects until the back of the truck the momentum is carried past where it stopped.
So it could take a couple months.
Take a while, yeah.
Be careful.
It's like when there's a snake in the road on the highway.
Everyone just stops and the snake gets bigger and bigger until it starts to pick back up again.
Okay.
XBL Corn says, you are mistaken about the banking rules coming.
They want to track every transaction in every account that has at least $600
in it. It is not for transactions
over $600. I did not
hear that. That is the first I've heard that.
You could Google search this. I think it's
icba.org.
Google search that and then Google search consumer
announcement or something like
that. It should pop right up because so many people
have been searching for it. Google auto-fills it.
Did you find it? Oh, I got the independent
community banking thing.
If you Google it,
it should auto-fill
the URL you need.
I see.
I see.
I don't use Google.
I use DuckDuckGo.
All right.
Let's see.
Adam Austin says,
I'm an electrical contractor
in Columbus.
We are down to eight employees.
$2,000 sign-on bonus.
Can't hire anyone. We are scheduling to eight employees. $2,000 sign-on bonus. Can't hire anyone.
We are scheduling estimates two weeks out.
Wow. If this persists,
at what point does
the average person at their job
just go,
why am I even here?
I can't remember
any store that I've been to recently
that doesn't have a help wanted sign-on
outside of it. It's like every single one.
Every one.
Yeah.
A Raw says, hey, Tim, long-time viewer, and I work for a company that supplies parts for the military,
and this decree would affect me, and I will stand on my principles, and I will not comply.
Good for you, good sir.
America76 says, this has everything to do with rushing the destruction of the republican free
market choice and capitalism it is absolutely zero to do with any virus all of this has been
intentional from the jump yeah the great resignation the great reset the the post office
exemption they know it's coming if people really still can't see that they're just exploiting this
tragedy just for more power i I mean, it's crazy.
I've been seeing a lot of people wake up, especially on TikTok recently, them making videos.
I made a huge mistake voting for Biden.
I feel like that's like the number one thing I'm seeing.
You never really see people saying, I made a mistake voting for Trump.
People, if anything, they're realizing, oh, wow, things weren't actually that bad under Trump.
He was just orange man bad.
Now there's actual bad
things whereas like under trump the biggest issues were net neutrality and and and uh trans bathroom
issues mean tweets and mean tweets i can confirm that guy's super chat yeah the biden administration
this is from icba.org the biden administration is proposing required financial institutions
report the irs all transactions of all business and personal accounts worth more than $600.
Whoa!
That's a lot of reporting.
Wow.
Well, there you go.
Tax season will be cray cray.
And maybe that's to get to the next step where they do these vaccine mandates.
And how do they enforce them?
The IRS.
The IRS is going to say, do you have the records of your employees that have tested negative?
We want them. And then when you're
like, no, they're going to be like, okay, it's
$14,000 per violation. That means every
week. If someone's not vaccinated
and they got to get a test, every week
if they don't have it or you don't check, $14,000.
For each one?
For each violation. Oh my God. Yeah.
And they got to get tested every week.
That's why it's important to get off the grid.
Off the system.
Be self-sufficient.
Get away from cities.
Yeah, Ian made pawpaw bread earlier.
Oh, it was good.
It was really good. I lined the pan with coconut oil because I didn't want to use that spray-on pan and stick stuff.
And, man, the bread, the skin is toasted.
You guys should start like a survival self-dependence channel.
Nah, we're not survivals.
We have chickens.
No, it would be good seeing you guys as progression.
I guess your vlog probably shows that.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
It shows our farm is now defunct.
We harvested all the crops.
With a sword, a lot of them.
Well, the sunflowers I never cared for to begin with.
I'm like, I don't want to care for sunflowers.
Did you see Ted slicing through them with a samurai sword?
No, it was cool.
It was cool.
Yeah, Frank cut his finger off doing that.
You got to be careful, man.
But the chickens are eating the sunflower seeds.
They love them.
I don't care for them, but the pumpkins were amazing.
And we got pumpkin seeds, amazing.
The tomatoes, amazing.
Zucchini, cucumbers, carrots, basil, jalapenos.
Do you think the government will ever start coming in and taxing you on the stuff you grew yourself?
Not until you give it to somebody.
Yeah.
What the hell's going on?
Well, they don't want to.
So our chickens are now like have teamed up to have babies.
So they all brood.
There's like there's three chickens that brooding is when they're like sitting on the eggs.
And I came out one day and I noticed that one of the chickens was not with the group.
And I was like, oh, what happened?
So I went to look for her.
And sure enough, she's sitting on all the eggs.
But it's not just her eggs.
They all lay the eggs in the same spot,
even though there's a bunch of different spots.
Later I come out,
and I see that chicken, Katerina,
out doing her thing,
and I'm like, oh, I guess she's not breeding.
She's out just milling about.
So I went in,
and I noticed that Vanessa was missing.
She was on the eggs.
Taking turns.
Then Dorothy was on the eggs.
And so these three chickens are rotating shifts.
I love it. Sitting on the eggs. That's normal how. Then Dorothy was on the eggs. And so these three chickens are rotating shifts. I love it. Sitting on
the eggs. That's normal how they operate like that. I guess it
actually is. Yeah, that chickens
like to lay eggs in the same place as other chickens
because they could lay eggs wherever they want, but they've
decided all to lay in this one spot. Communal.
And they're taking turns. When
one chicken gets up to go eat, the other one goes in and
sits on the eggs. That's so cute. It's going to be interesting
when there's like 14 babies.
So we have five Black Star chicken
babies. These are a special breed where you mix
a Rhode Island Red with a Barred Plymouth Rock.
And then we have three
babies. Two of them are
Leghorn Rhode Island Red mixes,
and one is an Easter Egger and a Rhode Island Red mix.
Because we have a Rhode Island Red rooster.
And they're, I think two of them
are cockerels. They're going to be roosters
and one of them is a pullet.
Are they kind of like organic chickens, or are they filled with like...
What do you mean organic?
We birthed them here.
We incubated the eggs.
Are they like heavily modified?
No, no, they're just regular chickens.
I know the modified ones, I think they start growing so big,
like they break their legs, they break their bones.
And they just sit there laying eggs all day for their like that's not right yep crazy they're bred to just self
destruct on themselves those ag gag orders are crazy where you can't like record and those those
factory farms that's so sick i think it was like nathan for you i think it was him
i forgot who it was someone did like a whole loophole to put every single label on on uh on his
chicken like you know chicken cutlets he made his own farm and like you know what was uh to get them
classified as free range no no it was a movie the guy i think it was the guy who did uh supersize me
i think he did another movie and uh you know he just put like a little opening for like one square
foot well they're free range chickens. They don't go outside.
And he just did all the loopholes to put everything on his label.
Easily done.
Let's read some more.
Cameron Maloof says truck drivers have a CDL, which is federally regulated.
I wonder how long it will take before you have to get a vaccine in order to renew your medical card for your CDL.
Could get bad.
More shortages.
I think truckers would just be like, no, we out.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Bye bye.
I think Putin said no, no mandates. Just. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Bye-bye. I think Putin said no mandates.
Just straight up.
Get it out of there early.
We're not going to do that.
Messiah Miguel says, hey, Tim, did you guys know that California passed a per-mile car
tax?
I'm living in ground zero for the new regime.
Also, I'm constantly getting double charged for the membership on the website.
Ooh, that's not good.
You can always email members at timcast.com.
That is, it's on the website. That's
where we take care of all this stuff. And
we'll get it sorted.
We'll try and figure it out. But I will say
send an
email. We'll get more specific. I don't want to give
any details or anything about people's private stuff.
What's this one mile per
taxing per mile? Yeah, at the end of the
year, you got to take your odometer and then
submit it in your taxes and they tax you based on how much you drove if you live in california move to a swing state
yeah don't move to texas don't move to florida move to a swing state like nevada if you want to
move hit me up dm me i got a realtor for you but we it's important i believe for us to move
republicans to move to swing states because 15000 more votes in Nevada flips it.
OK, secure the elections.
Fifteen, fifteen thousand.
That's nothing.
California, you need millions to flip it.
Don't even waste your time.
Same thing with New York.
Don't even waste your time.
Go somewhere with a few thousand people can turn it red by Vox says or by Evox says glad to see your business is doing well tim elad was a great pickup
i think he's highly underrated and hopefully your partnership will generate good visibility
keep up the great work guys that's right elad is doing on the ground reporting at a bunch of
different protests and public events um i think so far mostly new york city but he had you know
he asks great questions and he went to one one where it was union workers protesting the mandates.
And this was a couple weeks ago.
And they were like, F Trump, F Biden.
We don't care.
We ain't doing it.
And it's good to see when you have people on the ground reporting.
It's fantastic.
All right.
Karasu Macha says, hey, Tim, Trucker here.
It won't take much for us to go on strike.
We already hate going into these cities.
And that was before the riots.
During and after, we're playing hot potato over whose turn to tack a load into them yeah well there you go not
surprising how long before we start seeing trucks get raided in the highway like it's going on in
south africa i think that happens wow yep it's gonna happen couturiously wise says tim you're
wrong about segregation the train companies were lobbying to desegregate
Why pay fuel for two 50% empty segregated cars
The market tried to end it
Stopped by the individual state
All legislators and their guns
Oh interesting
Didn't know that
That's interesting
Makes sense
Alex Aiello says
Tim just want to say as an accountant
What did we do to be your example
i have been feeling oddly attacked as of late keep up the good work oh when i said like you're
an accountant and then like your job mandates vaccine or something um i don't know it seems
like uh a good like when you think of someone working in an office somewhere in a city you know
you know accountant yeah i guess i don't know just a go-to job yeah sits at a desk yeah that
should that's a compliment.
It's like the job.
You know, that's what I think of.
You sit at a desk, too.
That's true.
That's right.
Start saying podcasters.
There you go.
Ethan Davis says, V for Vendetta.
Anyone?
I certainly think so. Great movie.
Yeah.
I haven't seen it in 20 years, but it was great.
Malia Cortez says, love what Tim said in one of his earlier segments.
We're in one of those stupid
movies here's a movie example biden just order 66 to us i stole that quote yep yep we're we got a
little bit 1984 government overreach spying we got a little bit of brave new world your video games
and your social media to stimulate we got a little bit of fahrenheit 451 people overly offended
wanting to burn books and shut down information and And we got your V for Vendetta.
Pandemic resulting in government authoritarianism.
Hey, it's all there, right, for us to soak up.
How about that? All these stories from the past, these kind of warnings, like V for Vendetta and all what he just said.
It's like it's all just coming true now.
Like every single one of these warnings.
Like, are you going to wake up yet, people?
Like every single one of these mornings. Like, you're gonna wake up yet, people? Like, every single piece of media.
Alexandra Batik
says, Tim, I just watched Atlas
Shrugged. It needs to be remade
for a modern audience. I have theater
and directing experience. Shall we start
Pool Studios? I do not think we could
afford to make an Atlas Shrugged movie.
There is, like, a three-part movie
where it's, like, each part has different actors or whatever.
Interesting. Good story. I definitely think it's like each part has different actors or whatever. Interesting. Good story.
I definitely think it's really preachy.
It's just like, yeah.
Yeah, libertarians.
Magnificent Devil says we do not have a free market today.
Government regulations allow big corporations to gatekeep the most powerful and influential industries,
making the barrier to entry insurmountable for most.
Agreed.
But that is a free market by definition.
No, it isn't.
Free market doesn't mean anyone can do anything.
There's all sorts of regulations.
They're giving these trillion-dollar companies in California
extra perks over small business.
They want to keep them there from leaving to go to Texas.
It's the only reason why they have the largest economy.
They want to keep that title.
I should clarify for sure.
I was being tongue-in-cheek.
It's not a real free market, even though they call it a free market.
It's completely guarded by the government that's setting up regulations and pipelines.
We've got to strive towards a freer market.
A real free market could be dangerous because you get corporate monopoly,
so you need to always have a sidearm to be able to break that up.
I still feel like, for the most part, I feel like the will of the people,
especially now in this communication age,
I feel like it's more likely for solutions.
Maybe it's not perfect. I don't know.
But to emerge within the system?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Tim Rose says,
Got COVID in January of this year.
Donated my platelets and plasma to help before the vaccine came out.
Why is natural immunity
getting short end of the stick love your show by the way why is monoclonal antibodies being ignored
is it it's expensive i guess yeah two grand is it i think you mentioned that i might have i thought
that you were the one that said that but isn't this like this has got to be like saving lives
i mean little stuff yeah monoclonal antibodies.
So for somebody who's like
gets sick and goes to the hospitals,
I mean, we don't just let them die, right?
I just can't take the blinders.
It's like, everyone, straight ahead.
Get the vaccine straight ahead, everyone.
And it's like, dude,
there's these other pieces of info.
Look around.
Let's look at this.
They're like, no, no, no.
Keep going forward.
Like, what's the...
That's the East of our boat.
It reminds me of that music video.
The Pink Floyd music video
where they're all just marching off
into the grinder.
Oh, God.
All right.
PRC says,
we truckers need to unite
the vaccinated and unvaccinated.
Don't take runs into states and businesses
who mandate vaccines and passports.
Nothing happens until something moves.
Vaccines are good,
but mandates are evil.
I completely agree with that the issue is government shouldn't be dealing with your medical stuff i
just shouldn't be doing unless it's a unless it's that's the thing unless it's a real health threat
no no i i mean at some point if that's the whole purpose is you got to protect the herd you know
i disagree i think i don't think the government should be getting involved regardless.
Ever, though?
Because the thing is, if there was a virus that was killing as many people as would be declared,
something like the Black Plague, maybe that's a little bit too extreme of an example.
Smallpox was like, what, 20% or something?
Mortality was massive.
If people are dying from things, they'll take it upon themselves.
Risk to reward on vaccine.
If I get sick and I have a 20% chance of dying, maybe I they'll take it upon themselves. Risk to reward on vaccine. If I get sick
and I have a 20% chance of dying,
maybe I'll probably take the vaccine.
I think at that point,
I'll take my chances.
Because Ian, we're in a pandemic.
Well, they call it a pandemic.
Yeah, it is a pandemic.
It is technically by definition.
Yeah, by literal definition,
global epidemic.
And by the millions of people
around the world who have died
and the 650,000 in the United States,
it's a pandemic.
Does it warrant the extreme degree at which they're going?
In my opinion, no.
Like mandates and all this stuff.
It's like, yo, I get it is bad.
Novel virus mutations, all that stuff.
Scary.
Not good.
It's not airborne Ebola.
So the issue is people need to be able to assess the risks themselves.
There can be things like this.
Like, you know, if you're don't don't cough on people, there can be things like this. Like, you know, if you don't cough on people, there can be like the social distancing makes
sense.
It was like, hey, stand six feet apart, right?
You know, I actually think wearing a mask even when it comes to private businesses,
it comes to schools and kids, it starts getting murky, you know, but when people are sick,
they wear a mask.
Those are things where I'm like, okay, maybe we do some restrictions.
We protect the vulnerable.
We get back to work.
Instead, they've been like iron fist, shut it down.
I never wore a mask.
I've never seen people in a nursing home.
For the first 40 years of my life, I never wore a mask for illness.
And it was never a problem.
It was never a problem.
They were like, look at those people in Japan wearing masks.
How weird.
Yeah.
And people should have.
You think?
They get so
dirty so quick you gotta wash them like daily get new ones there's a lot of people i see in the
super chat we're like they're saying basically because of this i will never get vaccinated
and i'm like that's the problem with biden what yep i i'm gonna fix listen can you hear this
because i hear this every day i I'm going to fix this.
I promise.
It's the joint on this microphone.
Why is it making that noise?
We sprayed it down.
Yeah, I got to take it apart and get in there or something.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's see.
Aaron Tabor says, Tim, you've mentioned dehumanization before.
I've seen people on Twitter regularly referring to Republicans and unvaxxed people as plague rats.
Yes, frequently.
And that's part of the steps towards genocide.
No, don't refer to them as vermin.
Don't do it.
Calling people animals and maggots.
Don't do it.
It's not funny.
That was a Keith Olbermann thing.
Why won't you just do what the state tells you?
Because we're America.
Yeah.
Because America.
I thought it was America.
I remember when Keith Olbermann canceled his show.
We did it.
It's imminent.
Trump's going to be removed from office.
Oh, jeez.
Just nothing.
None of that ever happened.
That dude's nuts.
That dude's crazy.
You know who else is nuts?
It's Howard Stern.
What a loser.
Dude.
I'm starting to.
It's so ironic.
Howard Stern's a loser.
I was trending on Twitter because I called Howard Stern a loser.
True, though.
I was such a fan of Howard Stern when I first watched his movie.
I was like a fan.
Yeah, I was like, oh, wow, this is cool.
He's like going against the system, whatever.
He's a thing.
And then he just became this corporate chill.
He was never against the system.
George Carlin challenged the system, got arrested for saying naughty words,
did stand-up bits where he basically told the modern sensibilities
to screw off.
He screams racial slurs
as a part of his joke.
And he was anti-establishment.
Howard Stern was just
riding the wave.
He's like,
oh, people like this stuff?
Yo, they put him on TV.
They put him on the radio.
They gave him the ability
to do this.
He was not anti-establishment.
He was the establishment.
It was just that boomers
liked edgy humor. Gen Xers came up it was just that boomers liked edgy humor
gen xers came up saying okay we can do edgy humor too boomers are retiring and gen xers are feckless
for the most part so they're just like what should we do oh the millennials are yelling in my ears
there's another rage against the machine situation granted right right rage on behalf of the machine
granted uh howard stern is a boomer so he's the definition of okay boomer. When he's like, F their freedom.
I want the freedom to live.
Oh, well, F your freedom.
I want the freedom to live.
Like, why do you get to say who gets freedom?
Sorry.
You know, this guy is like, talk about somebody who built a career on being a jagoff and just being offensive.
It's like the trope.
I don't know if he actually did this, but the joke was that firing hot dogs at women bikinis and stuff like that just this a sheer absurdity of
his show and then juice and then there was uh michael malice tweeted that one of his guys
his wife one of the people who worked for him his wife was dealing with cancer and howard stern
which is like made fun of him for being sad and then when he launched a go fund me to help save
his wife howard stern just didn't contribute at all, even though he's worth like half a billion dollars.
Yo, these are not good people.
They're bad people.
They don't give.
They don't support.
They don't help people out.
Yo, I donate to save people's pets all the time.
Heck yeah.
I donate a lot, actually.
Probably too much.
Best cause.
You writing that off on your taxes?
I think you can.
Do it.
Charitable giving.
I will make you.
Ranroy says,
Alex Jones will run in 2024 and we will make the frog straight again.
Yes.
Not convinced.
You might ironically win.
I'll vote for him.
Yeah.
I thought that Tom Cruise commercial where he was running and he was like,
I'm running for something president.
I think he might've said,
I was like,
Oh,
is he actually running?
Cause I will vote for him.
I can't take it anymore.
Yeah.
It was just some dumb commercial.
But if we get someone to run, I mean, talk about you need someone that's fit to serve.
Trump's getting fit.
Do you see that?
He looks better than he did.
I'm worried that he's going to get too old by the time it comes around.
I wonder if he's on all that life extension stuff.
He's got to be.
NAD plus and nicotine by mononucleotide.
James Garlick says,
Thomas Paine in Common Sense regarding parents opposed to war with,
quote,
but I have children,
essentially calling them bad parents.
Quote,
let there be troubles in my day
that my children may know peace.
Best quote.
Love that quote.
I just think, you know,
when your kids are in the gulag,
make sure they know Mandarin.
That was Jack Posobiec's joke.
He was like, my job in the prison camp is to teach people Mandarin
so that we can interact with the guards.
Well, there you go.
Yeah, if you don't want to stand up for your way of life, for your country,
for your values, then just start teaching your kid Mandarin.
And I literally mean that.
I'm not being facetious like, it's a useful language.
It's second most spoken
language in the in the planet and if you are totally down with the the hegemonic rise of
of china then just be ready to have to interact even if you're not down with it you just see well
that's the way things are starting to go i'm only one person can't make that much of a difference
to stop the rise of china and the rise of biden the rise of the democrat establishment you know i remember when i was younger i was always uh learned spanish was like one of the
things because of all the immigrants coming in and you know if you're working in a kitchen or
now mandarin it's because of business right so english is the business language of the world
that's why english is basically everywhere for a lot of reasons but um soon mandarin i know a lot
of people speak
mandarin to be completely honest and i feel like also china is is i feel like they're the ones that
would want to force the rest of the world to learn their language because that's like a power i don't
know they speak english they do they do yeah we don't speak mandarin but it's going to change
that's why i'm saying like hey give your kids a leg up man oh yeah like the alphabet and writing
is is tough, right?
All right, let's see.
Patriot American says, I'm glad you mentioned Directive 51, Tim.
I just finished playing both the Division games and watched all of the lore videos.
It's mind-boggling to me how similar the situation in the games are to what we've been seeing this past year.
Do you guys know the Division?
I don't know the plot.
There's a pandemic.
So the president enacts Directive 51 know activating the division a special elite task force to go and try and restore you know government authority or something
like that and then part two is it the first one's in new york man it's new york it's awesome running
around new york and i know new york so it's like you're in manhattan and i'm like i know everything
is and then in dc it's like you're in the white house and like you're running running through dc
and i don't know dc as well i used to because i played fall three a lot but still really really fun games like you can launch
drones up and fly around and stuff and you have gadgets dude it's a legit fun game yeah game's
good good i haven't played in a while though i wonder what the new gta is gonna be what i was
hoping is that they were gonna map the real world yeah like they did with the flight simulator i'm
hoping that they just come out like,
hey, you can just play in the world.
And then VR.
That'd be so cool.
But I feel like there's going to be a lot of problems
when you're driving cars into people's houses,
real houses.
I wonder if you'll get people to, like,
authorize the use of their house in the games.
Then you can pay them, like, a one cent per sale.
Microsoft Flight Simulator.
You can actually fly around in a plane
of the real world and maps like it's google you have a co-pilot too it's like multiplayer
i tried to play it it's too difficult it's not really fun i got a buddy who's a pilot
yeah i'm thinking about jumping in and co-piloting with them one day yeah yeah jesus sanchez says tim
stargate season 4 episode 16 watch it it has to do with jabs it's on netflix um i don't
know if this is the episode you're referring to but there's one episode where they uh if you're
familiar stargate yeah awesome show by the way it just it's i watched it on comet and they restarted
over so there's a bunch of episodes i missed but um i've seen a ton of the episodes so far
but uh there's one there's one planet they go to where there's
this advanced network of planets that they're they're unfamiliar with the stargate network
which connects all these different planets through wormholes but they're extremely advanced and they
have great technology and they come to this planet that's mostly agrarian where there's farmers
they have big machines harvesting crops and dropping them in the stargates to transport
food to their planets and they talk to this like little farmer guy and he's like, they leave us alone, don't bother
us, so we're fine. But then
they go into a cave, a couple of
them, and they discover the remnants
of a civilization akin to
1910s, the United States,
with industrial development
that just ceased to exist.
And they find a newspaper, and it's
written in a form of Gaelic
because the point of Stargate is that aliens were enslaving different humans and transporting all over the universe.
Yeah.
And so basically the plot is this advanced alien race created a biological weapon that sterilizes people.
And what they did was they say, we'll give you our great technology.
Oh, you have a pandemic a flu pandemic
here this vaccine will save you and it did but then all of a sudden nobody could have kids and
the entire civilization collapsed but there's also um utopia you guys ever see that one no
yeah they canceled it because of covet i think oh my gosh it's about a big tech uh mogul who
creates a fake pandemic in order to sell his vaccine which sterilizes people
because
and this was on Amazon
last year.
It's a show on Amazon
and they canceled it
I guess because they were like
a little too, you know.
Poorly timed.
Yeah, poorly timed.
It was about like
there was a guy
who was writing a comic
that predicted a lot of
what was going to happen
because he had like access
or whatever
and so they're like
trying to read the comic
to figure out what's going to happen and I'm like that's really funny And so they're like trying to read the comic to figure out what's going to happen.
And I'm like, that's really funny
because like in our world,
there's a TV show saying all this stuff is happening
and like you're trying to watch a TV show.
It's just a TV show.
I don't think it's real or whatever,
but they still canceled it,
which just make people more conspiratorial, you know?
Black Mirror.
All right.
Sorta says,
OMG, I can't believe you said that, bro.
Keep Californians in California.
They voted for it.
They should eat it.
That's the thing.
There's still how many million Californians out there that are not voting for that stuff,
that want to be free.
If you send every single Republican in California and properly disperse them across every single
swing state, we would win every single state except California and New York.
So disperse. All right. So disperse.
All right.
We'll just do one more.
We got Coldy Locks Production says, if my job follows this mandate, I will say no or
I will quit.
No questions asked.
I will not comply.
Stand up for yourself.
You know, speak up.
Peaceful, noncompliance, resourceful, persuasive, all that good stuff.

And if you'd like to follow me personally,
because I post typically sarcastic nonsense and troll posts on Twitter,
it's at TimCast.
And the funniest thing is I have this post about how there are 659,000 heart disease deaths every year, mostly in people older than 60, but it scales down to a decent amount.
And I'm like, we've got to shut everything down.
We've got to ban unhealthy food.
We've got to mandate exercise.
We should mandate heart medication for everyone, especially children.
And boy, do these people not understand life.
These, you know, they're just, you know, the funniest thing was like when I called Howard Stern a loser, I got a wave of Howard Stern fans, Howard Stern fans telling me that I was poor.
And I was just like, I don't understand why I'm supposed to care.
Like I called Howard Stern a loser because I have a very low opinion of him.
And your response is, yeah, but he's rich.
I know the dude's rich.
It's like when Bloomberg was running.
Our billionaire has more billions than your billionaire.
Yeah, I know.
And I was just like, I'm like, that's so weird that you would like tweet at me like, ha ha, you're poor.
But it's like, for one, I'm not.
And two, what does that have to do with me calling Howard Stern a loser?
Like, is there a group of people criticizing him or Joe Rogan who know that – who think they're not rich?
Whatever, man.
Anyway, TimCast.com.
Joey, you want to shout anything out?
Yeah, I guess if you're on YouTube, you can check out my new YouTube channel, The Joey Saladino Show.
It's like a conservative news podcast.
It's also on all the podcast apps, The Joey Saladino Show.
You can type it in anywhere. You'll find it. Cool, man. Yeah, fullmediancrossland.net and at Ian Crossland on
social media. Thanks. I do have to say that I really love Joey's idea of encouraging people
to move out of heavily blue states and into swing states. As someone from Colorado, which was red
and then became purple and is now blue because of California, I highly recommend influencing these states, and I think that is a recipe for success.
Good idea.
