Starting point is 00:00:00 A couple of viral videos showing NBA players calmly, articulately explaining why they don't want to get the vaccine has a bunch of journalists and Democratic activists and politicians outraged. We're even hearing from some other celebrities that they should be kicked off their teams, they should be barred from playing, but there is no mandate apparently in the NBA. Now, I don't think we're going to see National Guard being deployed to replace NBA players who are being fired. But over in North Carolina, we have the biggest, the largest mass termination of hospital workers due to refusal to get the vaccine. A hundred and seventy five plus workers in North Carolina hospital. And I'm just I just don't
Starting point is 00:00:43 understand why are medical workers such anti-vaxxers? Why are they saying now that there there there's a massive portion of New York medical workers who are being, who have been fired over this vaccine mandate. These are people who literally work, literally work in the hospitals. Don't you think they would be the least likely to oppose getting the vaccine? Perhaps it's just about freedom. They're like, you know, we don't believe that you should be able to mandate medical treatments or perhaps as medical experts,
Starting point is 00:01:09 they have a different expert opinion, one that doesn't align with the mainstream. Well, we're going to talk about this. We're also going to talk about a lot of what's going down, going on down at the border because we have one of the weirdest stories I've seen. Texas Border Patrol uncovers a safe house with like a hundred illegal immigrants.
Starting point is 00:01:24 And the subheader says from Fox News, and they weren't wearing PPE. Because that's what we're worried about. Because the Border Patrol agents come to a house and there's 100 people jammed inside of it. They're like, they're not wearing COVID protective gear. Yeah, okay. We got problems. So we are being joined by a couple of journalists who are down at the border recently, actually, with some evidence of what's going on there. It's crazy stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Do you guys want to introduce yourself? Jorge first. Yeah, I'm Jorge Ventura, a field reporter for The Daily Caller. Sagnik Basu, I'm a producer for The Daily Caller. You guys were down there on the ground watching what was going on. Yeah, we've been covering the border crisis as soon as it began. We were also covering the Haitian migrants in Rio and just basically just seeing this kind of whole thing just unfold
Starting point is 00:02:11 little by little. And yeah, it's been crazy documented. You actually brought us a bag of the bracelets that the smugglers, the human traffickers make people wear. We'll get into all this, but you want to hold one up just so people can see what it is. For those that are listening,
Starting point is 00:02:26 you can't see anything, but those on YouTube, you can see they make the smugglers make people wear these bracelets. A bunch of them. So we'll get into that. That's crazy stuff. We got Ian. He's chilling. Man, seeing that bracelet was like one of the most grounding, kind of like smashed into reality things I've felt in a while. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:02:41 That's busted up, man. The trafficking kids. Yeah, I took a bunch of them Felt in a while. Thanks. That's busted up, man. The trafficking kids. Yeah. Yeah, I took a bunch of them because they're really interesting and they say different things. So we will get into them over the course of the show. I'm really looking forward to this because it's something that needs to be discussed right now. For sure. But before we get started, head over to TimCast.com.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Become a member and you will get access to exclusive members-only segments of the TimCast IRL podcast. We're actually, I think this week, we're going to be launching our mystery show, and we have a new show called The Green Room, which is the fun hangout, which we've been filming. So we're producing a lot of stuff. Plus, we have a bunch of other shows that are being produced as we speak. It just takes time. This is like, you know, it's kind of been a shock how
Starting point is 00:03:17 fast we've been growing. And so we have all of these pots going at the same time. But we're getting there. So stay tuned for that. But don't forget to like this video, to this channel share the show with your friends let's talk about some nba because this is really pissing off a lot of people we got the story from the black wall street times access is the new civil right they say with no mandate some nba players refusing covid vaccine ahead of season they say the most popular question that players have been asked has been concerning their vaccination status.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Currently, there is no mandate from the league for the players to be vaccinated. League spokesman Mike Bass told ESPN, quote, a vaccine mandate for NBA players would need an agreement with the player association. The NBA has made these proposals, but the players union has rejected any vaccination requirement. Most NBA players are vaccinated but stragglers remain roughly 90 of nba players are vaccinated as training camp approaches according to league sources but tensions are growing between staffers who are vaccinated and players who refuse
Starting point is 00:04:16 them in some instances staffers said they're upset the players aren't facing the same vaccine requirements as most team staff and referees. In other instances, staffers said they're concerned about the health risks of being exposed to unvaccinated players. Two of the league's biggest stars, Bradley Beal and Kyrie Irving, both said they were not vaccinated during their team's media day. And I just got to say, guys, you need to stop fighting this. Us rich people are exempt from all of this. NBA stars, famous podcast hosts.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Yo, look at the Met Gala. Just accept your fate. You know, AOC doesn't got to wear a mask. All of the surfers do. All right? This is the direction that we're going. I'm kidding, by the way. I'm half kidding.
Starting point is 00:04:58 It's true, though. Like, NBA players are like, we're not going to do it. Meanwhile, the support staff are being forced to do it. Yeah, it's one of the more interesting stories. uh you know i don't see any national guard coming in to replace kyrie irving that could average 25 points in eight assists a game um but it's really interesting with the nba because um it actually first started off with you know for folks who don't know like lebron james has massive power over the league it's almost like whatever he said kind of sways and he actually came out like, didn't want to get the vaccine.
Starting point is 00:05:26 I think he just got vaccinated, but he didn't want to get the vaccine. And that kind of forced the Players Association to say, you know what, no mandate. So it's really interesting to see, and especially the star players speak out, like a Bradley Beal, a Kyrie Irving, who hold a lot of weight. That's going to be interesting to see. Andrew Wiggins, who is the shooting guard for the Warriors in Oakland, he applied for the religious exemption and got it denied. So now he can only play away games.
Starting point is 00:05:53 I'm really curious just to see how that's going to turn out. Only away games. It's interesting the difference between the NFL and the NBA. Because in the NBA, you have five guys can win you a championship for the most part. I mean, you do have a bench, but it's five guys. With thefl you need 12 so so the the star power is much greater in the nba one individual like lebron can command a team and a league yeah in the nba they need um like they need those star players to fill those seats like in nba it's just those star players are more rare than the nfl so it's really interesting to see like the kairis bradley bill and other other
Starting point is 00:06:24 players come out in uh and speak out yeah because bradley bill just had a media day and he said hey you know what i already had covid i have the antibodies he said and then he like looked at the meeting said i get i assume all you guys are vaccinated yet you could still get it so it's like i said it's interesting right now just with the mandates and all this stuff and um and then i'm curious of what's gonna happen andrew wiggins because now the owner might be like you know what if you're you're not going to get vaccinated and I can only use you on the road, I'm going to just release you and just pick up another guy who's willing to. Yeah, but he's got a contract, right? Yeah. And he's a good player.
Starting point is 00:06:53 It's not like he's like a guy you just kind of, like I said, no National Guard is going to come in for Andrew Wiggins and put him 15 points and 10 boards a game. You know, there's a lot of protests there was a video from a couple days ago where people in staten island who are unvaccinated like stormed into a mall and we're chanting usa and because because new york has the vax mandate but you see little pockets here and there you can google it you can find the stories of a few hundred people i don't think it's enough to stop government overreach you know the government's going to mandate if people are going to follow suit i agree i haven't i haven't i actually thought that like the turnouts would be much larger we haven't seen them now i covered a few of these anti-mandate protests back in California. One thing that I've noticed, at least from the protests that I covered,
Starting point is 00:07:30 is the first responder community is really against the mandates. I'm talking about nurses, police officers. Like I said, the story I think to watch out right now is the L.A. County firefighters who are now going to be suing the county, and they are really stepping up and saying, we're not doing this. So I think that could be a turning point for a lot of first responders, depending on how that firefighter case goes. I'm not convinced that's going to affect the public the way Kyrie Irving would.
Starting point is 00:07:55 You've got the NBA, and what happens if some owner is like, I'm not going to use you for these games because you're refusing to get vaccinated? No, they can't do it. They've got star power on their hands. When celebrities like Nicki Minaj come out, all of a sudden their fans don't care about your tribe. They don't care about science. They don't care about whatever your rules are.
Starting point is 00:08:13 They're just like, big fan Nicki Minaj. She said it. We're done. And they'll start tweeting in support of her. Love you, Nicki. You're the best. Especially with these NBA stars. Now, LeBron, I guess, came out and was praising China. Oh, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:26 That was a while ago. He came out and was saying that I guess he got vaccinated and he's supportive of it. So that will have a lot of weight. But I got to say, when I watch some of these viral videos, I feel like regular people are going to see this and that those vocal people in the
Starting point is 00:08:42 NBA or of high status are going to, for one, probably a lot of people will just blindly agree with him. There's probably a lot of people who are going to be like, I'm a big fan, dude. Yeah, whatever you say. But there's going to be a lot of people now who will feel less scared. They're going to be like, if they can do it, so can I. I can speak up. I can stand up for myself.
Starting point is 00:08:58 And it's really interesting to see there were protests, big protests in New York. I'm surprised he protested in New York over this. I mean, New York is a Democrat stronghold, but you see New Yorkers in in there was there were protests a big protest in new york i'm surprised he protested new york over this i mean new york is a is a democrat stronghold but you see new yorker is holding up signs i kind of feel like the media is lying about the sentiment on this one if the bluest place in the country new york city i think it's the bluest place maybe i'm wrong maybe it's san francisco i don't know but particularly democrat place has thousands of protesters certainly
Starting point is 00:09:24 regular people are like yo the vaccines are great but you can't force people to take these things. Right. I've had for the last, I think, week when I go into Twitter, what's happening? First thing that shows up is Biden's vaccine mandate for workers is supported by legal precedents, experts say. And that same headline and things keep popping up every day like they're trying to convince me of it. So they're obviously it kind of supports. I think it supports what you're saying that i think that the media is forcing the narrative we're attempting to there it that that is such a manipulative propaganda thing because you can argue that the legislature can can put in rules for osha but not biden by decree so that's why why are we getting our legal analysis from twitter staff you know i mean
Starting point is 00:10:03 but people believe this stuff the problem is like when the media does this thing they are not exactly able to convince like normal schmucks who are watching tv to be like oh now the media said it let's go and get the vaccine it's more about like private organizations like restaurants and like club owners they're thinking that oh is is this the mass sentiment now we have to mandate it i went to brooklyn literally this saturday and i had to show my vax card in one club and in order to get into a yacht so they are mandating it left right and center and i think like the way the private organizations get their information is that they watch media and they think that oh this is the sentiment so we need to follow the laws and then they just like just imply with it well that's why it's big if the nba stars and celebrities are coming out and they're speaking out against this
Starting point is 00:10:49 yeah i thought exactly i thought the nikki minaj thing was the wild huge it was a wild cycle just that crossover with with with her and tucker is exactly what we needed i wish i would i wish i was dude i wish trump was uh i wish trump had his twitter because i just wanted to see what he would even even say about nikki see what he would even say. Say about Nicki Minaj. He would be like, Nicki Minaj, one of the greatest rappers of all time. Everyone agrees. He's standing up for the rights of the working class.
Starting point is 00:11:13 But I love that week because I remember just watching Tucker and he would be like praising Nicki and then he would just bash the whole GOP. He'd be like, why is Nicki braver than any GOP representative? It's true. You always have those Republicans like, oh, but she's pro-abortion. It's like that doesn't matter right now. Like right now we're – this is an area where you could win over a lot of people when it comes to this. This is body autonomy.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Win over people. Especially in the hip-hop community. Like if Nikki says something, hip-hop community. Oh, right. And hip-hop is like 90% black probably, and they will roll with it. But you saw people exactly pushing back Nikkiki it's like hey she needs to be like shut down now like we don't it was huge i think jay-z jay-z just had a uh meeting with the new mayor of new york and it was all like oh i'm talking to her of how we could you mean the
Starting point is 00:11:58 governor yeah the the governor and he was like oh i was talking to her about how we could uh you know get more of our of our people in our community vaccinated so it's like it's big when nikki could come out and step out against that narrative even i love that she was speaking about censorship and then she like blasts those journalists and hassan piker got real by nikki that was the best day ever like out of all people no my favorite thing like the the reason why i was so much on the nikki train is like if you could drive joy uh joy re Reid crazy on MSNBC, I am on your team. So I love watching Joy just freak out. Hassan's response
Starting point is 00:12:30 to Nikki was that Tucker was a white nationalist. And I'm like, here's a guy who has nothing to say for this conversation. Hassan is just like, if that's his hot take for this, it has nothing to do with the issues of liberty, freedom, medical, public health. It's just literally like, well, that guy's a white nationalist.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Wow, excellent commentary on the issue, Hassan. Brilliant. Yeah, and then we're also seeing with the college universities, it's like even with the mandates, they're still seeing COVID outbreaks. Like Duke University had like an outbreak of like over 300 kids tested positive for COVID, and only eight of those kids were unvaccinated. So you're seeing it in Duke University. You're seeing it in a lot of these universities where their vaccination rate is at 99% or 98%. I was even reading Harvard just went to online classes for three weeks, and their vaccination rate is at 97%.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Let me pull this up real quick. CBS News Kareem Abdul-Jabbar says NBA players who refuse the COVID vaccine should be disciplined. Oh, boy. Disciplined. These people are insane. Get in line, boy. They're genuinely nuts.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Yeah, Stephen A. Smith, too, on ESPN was coming out and saying, oh, you need to trade Kyrie Irving. It's like that's just the kind of world we're living in. It's like you step out of that narrative and they attack you. It's like, man, it's not even about like I said, even the places that we're living in, it's like you, you like step out of the narrative and they, they attack you. It's like, man, it's not even about, like I said, even the places that are,
Starting point is 00:13:48 we're seeing the most vaccinated rates, there's still outbreaks. Yeah. This is what's concerning me. If that trend continues, what you're pointing out at like the, in the colleges, um,
Starting point is 00:13:56 and that people keep getting these breakthrough cases after vaccination, then at what point will people say, stop mandating this? If it's, if there's still going to be breakouts anyway? Because they don't mandate flu shots. You can get a flu shot and it can help you, but you can still get the flu. So at what point are people going to –
Starting point is 00:14:13 I have two questions. I'm seeing all over Twitter, they're like, the unvaccinated are a threat to the vaccinated, right? They're like, we've got to protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated. Which makes no sense. And a lot of people on the left are saying, if we're going to get through this and everyone has to the vaccinated right they're like we got to protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated which makes sense and a lot of a lot of people on the left are saying like you know uh if if we're gonna get through this and everyone has to be vaccinated otherwise there'll be variants and i'm like like the flu like the flu vaccine that nobody gets like a lot of people get it the flu shot every year the covid 19 vaccine is the first vaccine in the world that doesn't work unless
Starting point is 00:14:40 you have it too well no no i i'm not talking about i i understand the point they're making there'll be variants right yeah because it'll it'll you know fester within certain communities and then eventually you can you know the the vaccine stops working but we don't even do that for the flu so what's different here like no i i get i get covet is worse i get it's like you know it's scary people can't breathe and stuff like that but we're not talking about airborne ebola is it just like because it is novel, all of a sudden we're like, this is the one where everyone's got to get the vaccine or what? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:10 We're in some interesting times. And then we're also seeing the push for the booster shots. So the FDA just recently came out and they didn't approve it for everyone. I think they only approved it for 65 and older. It's also interesting to see how the other countries react. So the president of Mexico came out and said, we are not vaccinating anyone under 12 years old. We're not letting big pharma play a role in this, i was like wow and he's and he's a leftist uh almost as a leftist so he came out and spoke out against it that's what i'm
Starting point is 00:15:33 interesting to see is there the pfizer is making that push to get like five and five to 12 year olds vaccinated which is like just i mean there we haven't seen any data that they needed. No risk whatsoever in that age group now. Well, we won't say no risk, but it is like very, very, very minimal. And I guess the issue is they're concerned kids will get it and then transfer it to old people or so. Old people, yeah. But I got to say, you've got, there's interestingly two main camps in this. Actually, at this point, I don't think it's anti-vax. I think it's mostly anti-mandate.
Starting point is 00:16:07 I think most people actually agree. It's fine. Get it. But the weird question is, like, why are you making literally everyone get it? It doesn't make sense. Like, why are they forcing everyone to do it? The big thing that they're not telling you – Joe Biden comes out and he said, you know, 98% of people got to be vaccinated to go back to normal.
Starting point is 00:16:23 What they're not telling you is that a large portion of those who aren't vaccinated live in the middle of nowhere so it's like you can see an nba player and ask them like why won't you get the vaccine and they'll say well i've had it before i have the antibodies the government should mandate this but what they're not showing you when they say like you know a quarter of biden's like a quarter of people haven't gotten it it's like yeah you know like jim bob who lives up on the mountain yeah who's got no neighbors and is a homesteader is like not going to drive into a city to risk himself during a pandemic just to get a vaccine that would reduce the risk.
Starting point is 00:16:52 He doesn't have because he lives in the middle of nowhere. They don't take into consideration rural living. Homesteaders, farms, people who don't go into cities and people who are talking to their doctors and for medical reasons aren't getting it. They're just blanket saying everyone's got to get it. You know, that makes no sense. Why would someone who lives in rural Wyoming be concerned about getting sick when they
Starting point is 00:17:10 don't see anybody for six months? They're probably like, I'm not even going to see a doctor to give me the vaccine. But they include those people in all these numbers too. Yeah. And like in California, you know, LA County, which is one of the bigger counties in the United States, LA County is so big that like, it's not just like just like the city la there's a bunch of rural communities in la county so it for for us it didn't make sense to see that you know they would like shut down all these businesses and it affected even the rural communities um you know in the middle of nowhere
Starting point is 00:17:36 that like you said that they're not connected to the city you know it's a it's like a one-size-fits-all yeah um which has just been detrimental then you know, too, was the only county out of all of the United States to make the restaurants close out their indoor and also outdoor dining. They were the only county that did take out only as well. And it affected the rural communities that are not even near the city. So we got this story from The Hill. Sage Steele says she only took vaccine because of ESPN's sick and scary mandate. This is interesting. ESPN anchor said she only got it because of the mandate, which she described as sick and scary.
Starting point is 00:18:11 During an appearance on Uncut with Jay Cutler, Steele told the former NFL quarterback that she ultimately got the vaccine so she wouldn't be removed from programming. I didn't want to do it, but I work for a company that mandates it and had until September 30th to get it done or I'm out. I respect everyone's decision. I really do. But to mandate mandate is sick and it's scary to me in many ways i'm not surprised it got to this point especially with disney i mean a global company like that she added steel has previously drawn criticism for mocking mask mandates responding to statistics showing more showing that that more children have been shot in chicago than died of covid but yes let's keep masking up our children. I'll tell you this, man. If I still worked for Disney and they mandated this,
Starting point is 00:18:49 I'd be like, yay, I broke my contract. I am out. I'll tell you, respect for speaking out because the more higher profile people speak out about freedom, and it's not about the vaccine. I think the vaccine is fantastic. It's about the government mandating a medical procedure. And I think what you see here is a really good example of how they gain power.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Sage is not worried about getting the vaccine. She's not worried about side effects. It's overwhelmingly safe, I think. You'll see a lot in the VAERS because of how many people have gotten the vaccine. I mean, you know, and so she's not worried about it. But now the government is inching us towards mandated medical procedures. I get it. A vaccine is noting us towards mandated medical procedures. I get it. A vaccine is not the most extreme of medical procedures.
Starting point is 00:19:28 They're not saying they're going to cut out your appendix or anything like that. But she's right. It's scary. It's sick. Now, the problem I have is that as much as she's willing to speak out against it, she's not willing to resist it. And what was interesting too, Tim, I think it was a month ago the story came out. There was an ESPN college football reporter, like field reporter,
Starting point is 00:19:46 and she actually put out a tweet and it went viral. And she said, hey, guys, this day is going to be my last day. I talked to my doctor about the COVID-19 vaccine, and me and my family are trying to have a second kid. I just can't get it right now. And then she ended up actually stepping down, and I was like, wow. And, you know, you have to feel for her because like that's her dream job but she put her family first and she also met with her doctor
Starting point is 00:20:09 so it's like she did all the steps that you're supposed to do you know why should she why should she uh she be punished for just she met with her doctor they you know the best decision for her and her family for to have a second child was just to not get it this time and then yeah she had it she had to step down before that september 30th. I mean, I'm surprised Sage didn't step down. Is your career really worth that much? She has a platform where she could go independent. She would have got a ton of support, too, from people. Off of that tweet, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:34 She conformed. Yeah, that's a bummer. Imagine if she bailed out and said, okay, I guess I'm getting fired. Start a podcast. People would support her, yeah. Yeah, definitely. Instantly. But you know what? ESPN probably. Start a YouTube channel. Yeah, definitely. Instantly.
Starting point is 00:20:46 But you know what? ESPN probably pays her a lot more than she'd start with. So she's an anchor for ESPN. She's probably getting, you know. Millions. You think millions? No. ESPN.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Dude, Stephen A. Smith makes more money than like star athletes per year. Everyone's not like A. Smith. Like she's probably putting like 250. But she's high up. She's been in the game for a while. You said 250? Yeah. 250 a. You said $250,000? Yeah. $250,000 a year? $250,000?
Starting point is 00:21:09 Let's even say she's getting $150,000. Yeah. You leaving, going independent, you're not going to get that paycheck this month, and you're crossing your fingers versus being like, well, this job's stable. But you're right. I don't know what ESPN pays. I'd imagine maybe half a mil, maybe $250,000 to $500,000. It's not even about the money. It's about like that social circle.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Like then you become that one anchor from ESPN who did not take the vaccine and gave up ESPN. You are that one renegade from that social circle. You become that person. Yeah, but these people are so dependent. It's like, yo, learn. That's it, man. This is a country that was founded on a very independently minded individuals. People who are like, leave me alone.
Starting point is 00:21:49 I'll do my thing. The Gadsden flag. And now we're slowly becoming more and more completely and utterly dependent on the system and other people. Why do they care so much about what other people think? That's the weirdest thing to me. Just be like, I don't care. Shut up. What you say doesn't mean anything the thing which bothers me the most is like there have all like throughout history in the states there have
Starting point is 00:22:09 always been people who wanted other people to conform to their rules but they're but the counterculture has also existed right in the same time and that has like come from like the arts and the hip-hop people and the stuff like that and to see all these athletes hip-hop players hip-hop artists and stuff like that also conform to these government mandates, that's the scary part. Everyone together decided to follow this one set of rules. It's like the raging gets the machine, now they rage for the machine. On behalf of the machine.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Rage on behalf of the machine. And culture going on hand-to-hand with it. And fortunately or unfortunately, culture moves mountains. behalf of the machine and like culture going on hand to hand with it and like at like fortunately or unfortunately culture moves mountains like whether or not it's joe biden saying it'll obviously matter more if you know lebron says it and like that's the scarier part of me like all these big players are saying that you should get vaccinated and the fact that other people are not vaccinated is putting your life at risk so you you know kind of sort of like look down at them like that's the scarier part it's creating two different subcultures.
Starting point is 00:23:07 But we already have two different subcultures. The culture war is just being made worse. And now it's medical. Well, actually, I think this is impacted by the culture war. You know, people thought in a crisis that America would come together.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Like during the culture war and the peak and the fighting in the street, they're like, man, we need a shared enemy like in Watchmen, the aliens, or if it's the movie you're talking about about Dr. Manhattan. And then everyone's like, that's the enemy. And they joined forces. Instead, what happened was the pandemic hit
Starting point is 00:23:30 and both sides were like, I'm going to do X. Well, I'm going to do Y. Screw you. And now they're screaming at each other at the top of their lungs. That being said, I love the metric. We had Dr. Robert Murphy on, he's an economist, talking about how the economy is not good. Yet for some reason, and then I point out democrats think it's good so that's the easiest way to put it you know look you want to find identify what the real cult is you ever hear that riddle where it's like uh you come across a fork in the road and there's you can go left you can go right and there's two guys standing on each path one always lies one always tells the truth how do you figure out which way is the path to safety because you know one will lead you to death one will lead you to safety and then it's like you ask the guy what the other guy would say and then take the opposite path.
Starting point is 00:24:09 So it's like – I forgot where I was going. It's a great riddle. I have some information. Oh, Sage Steel, as of 2019, making $400,000 a year. Their net worth is $1.5 billion. That's a lot of money to walk away from. Yeah. That was like two years ago.
Starting point is 00:24:23 I'll tell you this, man. I worked for Disney, and when I tried breaking my contract, one day I woke up to $40,000 in the bank. And they were like, oh, it's a bonus. I'm like, for what? And they're like, we're just giving bonuses. And I'm like, uh-huh. Is my contract over yet? No joke.
Starting point is 00:24:40 I went to the president in January, and I'm like, this doesn't make sense for me to be here. I don't know what you guys are doing. You're not doing journalism. You're doing woke stuff. I was like, that's not what I produce. I went to the president in January, and I'm like, this doesn't make sense for me to be here. I don't know what you guys are doing. You're not doing journalism. You're doing woke stuff. I was like, that's not what I produce. I travel around. I cover on-the-ground stuff. If you want to do that, this makes sense.
Starting point is 00:24:52 And then they're like, look how much money we're giving you. And then one day I wake up, and I see Money My Bank, and they're like, we need to talk. And then I get a phone call, and they're like, yeah, how's the bonus? And I'm like, bonus for what? I'm trying to quit, and you just gave me a ton of money. It was insane. Just nuts. We're kind of living, too, in, like, two different countries in the States.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Like, here in D.C., like, you know, like, you're still indoors. You have to wear the mask. Like, I'm in the gym, like, working out. My mask falls, like, a little inch below. Oh, yeah, you saw me got caught out. I get, like, threatened by the gym people. And then, like, I was in Texas. And it's, like, it's there's like no mask anywhere it's like life is like all normal then you go to another state and it's like so even just seeing that cultural or you know shift is is
Starting point is 00:25:35 also like it's crazy that's you know what freaks me out too is these n95 masks if you wear one of those no one's gonna complain but you're not they're not protected because you're breathing out complete air there's no filtration going out but they're not protected because you're breathing out complete air. There's no filtration going out. But they don't know, so they don't complain. So it's like this perception battle. But if you're wearing a gaiter, they'll be like, eh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I didn't get that memo. They're like, somehow gaiters, like a right-wing thing. Too thin or something? Oh, I don't know. Oh, yeah. I don't know. You know what? I'll put it this way.
Starting point is 00:26:00 I went to the bank today. And there was this dude. And he's like, there's a big plastic barrier at the bank and the guy's wearing the mask. And I'm just like, the people working are all in bubble, bubbleville. Literal. And everyone else is not. Every other person in the building was not masked or doing anything. And I'm just like, this is weird.
Starting point is 00:26:21 It's weird because, you know, I'll put it this way. Last year they said 15 days, right? And then we were like, okay. And then it turned and that's what 18 months or whatever. Well, the lockdowns mostly ended over the summer or the end of spring and summer. And then they said, okay, we're going to do masks. And then it was like, ah, it's no big
Starting point is 00:26:38 deal. If you want to go to the store, you put the mask on, you take it off when you walk out. But now they're like hardcore while everyone's working, when you're going, when you're outside, in between sips, getting crazier. And then people were saying at the But now they're like hardcore while everyone's working, when you're going, when you're outside, in between sips, getting crazier. And then people were saying at the time, they were like,
Starting point is 00:26:48 if they mandate this, it's only a matter of time before they mandate vaccines. People were like, no, that's never going to happen. Then they said, if you want to take the mask off, just get your vaccine.
Starting point is 00:26:58 You don't got to wear the mask anymore. Then everyone had to wear the mask again. We literally went from, hey, everybody, get the vaccine and we're back to normal to me going to the bank and seeing a guy behind a big plastic barrier with a face mask on when everyone there is vaccinated.
Starting point is 00:27:11 And I'm just like, there is no point where I would believe this stops. Like we had the Moderna CEO, like I said, maybe next year. Australia is building more camps. Australia has got another camp set to open mid-2022. They're building camps like crazy. They don't expect camps to open mid-2022 they're building camps like crazy they don't expect this to end ever new normal they call it yeah cnn has that one like doctor correspondent person and she's always like oh um it's not your it's not in your it's not in your like constitution on your rights to like fly and stuff so she's you know she's making
Starting point is 00:27:41 the argument that you need the you need the vaccine to fly but the funniest thing is just seeing the the experts continue to flip-flop. Before the pandemic, there's those interviews of Fauci coming out and saying, like, oh, you don't even need the mask. Then you need the mask. Then he's like, you know, after you get vaccinated, you don't need it to wear outside. Now you do. It's just the constant flip-flop is like, how do we continue to trust these people? What's after vaccine mandate?
Starting point is 00:28:03 Travel. I think they're going to hit these people. What's after vaccine mandate? Travel. Passports. They're going to hit the airlines, and I think that's going to be... Digital passports. You know, what gets me is that I don't consider the pharmaceutical industry part of the medical industry.
Starting point is 00:28:17 I think of it as like a... It's a for-profit business that makes... You could call it medicine. I mean, it's definitely medicine, what they're making, but doctors are should be decentralized doctors is like what we built you know our modern system on it just blows my mind that a pharmaceutical company could be commanding this at such speed they're gonna come you have evidence for the doctor soon because
Starting point is 00:28:41 you could just see it like that like for for instance, that doctor that spoke to that college football reporter for ESPN, pretty sure down the line they're going to come after him. Because we even saw it in California. This is before the pandemic. This was like two or three years ago. A lot of the parents were protesting this new bill where they were going to limit the religious exemptions on the vaccines for kids. And they hammered on the doctors. So before that, the doctors didn't have a limit on the religious exemptions they could give hammered on the doctor so that so before that the doctors didn't have a limit on the religious exemptions they could give for for children on the vaccines then the the state
Starting point is 00:29:10 came in and said you're only allowed to do five per year and i think that's what little by little they're gonna start moving on on the doctors and basically kind of force them to say just tell everyone you have to get it well they're already moving on nurses We got the story from Timcast.com. North Carolina Hospital Network fires 175 plus workers for defying COVID vaccine mandate. They say initially 375 employees were temporarily suspended for refusing the injections, but 200, quote, came into compliance and received a medication. The laid off employees have a fiveday window to get the vaccine. Novent employees were given until September 15th to get the shot, reports WLNS. Workers who have started a two-dose vaccine series will have until October 15th to get the second dose
Starting point is 00:29:55 and remain in compliance, the health system said. Novent workers who have been granted a medical or religious exemption are required to undergo weekly COVID testing, wear N95 masks and eye protection while at work. This is weird to me. It's my question. Why are there so many anti-vax nurses? And I'm saying anti-vax on purpose.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Okay. Thanks. Yeah, because I want to call them anti-mandate humans. Yeah. But the point is, if the argument from the left is like the mandates you should get the vaccine what's the problem their person the perception of these doctors is they these nurses they don't want to get vaccinated why not what about these medical employees are why why are they saying no to this is it really just like i believe the vaccine is safe but you can't make me do it i mean i i interviewed some of the nurses that attended some of these anti like mandate protests and from what i got was hey we were on the front lines of
Starting point is 00:30:49 covid the majority of the nurses got it already have the antibodies they don't see a reason for it so it's just interesting to see the uh we're all in this together and you're the frontline heroes and to now they're making a mistake the fact that they are part of this quote-unquote system like the medical system and like the fact that they don't have faith in this vaccine which is supposed to be the be-all end-all that's eye-opening and the second thing about is like we all remember the time when like the culture and the media together were like nurses are the heroes frontline workers which is true by the way and now they are like you know kind of like turning on them once some of them decide to fall out of line.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Yeah. I mean, I think situations like this are going to wake up more nurses. And I mean, just imagine that they've been going a whole year telling them that they're the frontline heroes. We're all in this together. Then a couple months later, just going to fire them and leave them on the street. All those 170 people are working class people. Yeah. We're just going to leave them off on the street.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Can I just clarify? You said they're going to slap N95 masks on the health care workers? Those with religious or medical exemptions. So those things don't protect outgoing air. They do not filter outgoing air, N95 masks. So what the heck are they doing? Virtual signaling. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:02 That's all it is. When they said, wheniden came out and said either you get the vax or you get tested weekly that's what they're doing for the osha thing and then the leftists were like well you don't got to get vaccinated you should get a weekly test and i'm like can people who are vaccinated still get sick yeah but it's rare okay so yes can they still spread covid yes at basically the same rate as those anyone who has covid but keeping in mind they're less likely to get it. And I'm like, shouldn't you then test everybody?
Starting point is 00:32:28 Shouldn't the vaccinated be tested if that's the case? Well, now we're seeing that, I think ASU announced it doesn't matter if you're vaccinated. Tests. We got this too. Part of the story.
Starting point is 00:32:36 The confusion surrounding COVID spilled over into the country's college system this month. Penn State University suspended 117 students after the co-eds missed their mandatory COVID tests. Students at University Park were subject to required weekly COVID-19 testing and who have missed at least three weeks of testing have been notified
Starting point is 00:32:54 by Penn State they are out of compliance with the university's health and safety policies and have been placed on interim suspension through the Office of Student Counsel. To date, 117 students at University Park have been placed on interim suspension for their failure to comply, to properly comply with Penn State's weekly COVID-19 testing requirement. You know what those students are based? No, but think about it.
Starting point is 00:33:15 They're like, either you get vaccinated or you do weekly tests. Then people are like, okay, so they get vaccinated. Then ASU and other colleges are like, no, you got to do the weekly tests anyway. In some colleges, what they're doing is on the weekly tests for the students who are unvaccinated, they're making the students pay for it every single week.
Starting point is 00:33:30 So they're like, okay, we're not going to force you, but we're going to hit you financially every single week. What happens if they decide to just not take these tests anyway? Do they get forced out of college? Yeah, they're suspended. They're going to kick them out. So now your degree depends on it literally now whether the fact you know what man we're we're we're at a point where too many people are just permanent children so they're permanent children these people these colleges these people at these jobs
Starting point is 00:33:57 um you know sage steel much all due respect for speaking out still still a child. A child who says, I cannot survive without the nanny state providing that teat to suckle. Dude, figure it out. Oh, no, but I need a degree. No, you don't. Figure out how to survive. Stop being so dependent and greedy. There's a lot of people. I'm not speaking for families.
Starting point is 00:34:19 I understand families have bigger issues. But if you're going to college, there's a million and one ways to survive in this world and make a living. You don't need college. But what about my dreams? I want to do this. Yeah, well, then make your decision. What's more important, the job or your principles? For all the people that are like, I haven't done any, I don't care what the government mandates I do. I'll do it anyway. It's no big deal for me. Well, they're there. They're not violating any of their personal tenets. They're going to go to college. They're going to get a job and they're happy with it. But if you're someone who's going to come out and be like, I oppose this, but I'd rather have the degree, then I don't believe you that you actually oppose it.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Maybe it's just a mild inconvenience for you or you're just virtue signaling. If you really cared and said, I oppose it, I ain't going anywhere near it. Yo, this is your body or your child's body. That's the craziest thing to me. The people are like, like Sage Steele can be like, this is your body or your child's body. That's the craziest thing to me that people are like. Like Sage Steele can be like, this is sick and scary. But I don't mind if someone injects me with something. I'm like, then do you really feel that way?
Starting point is 00:35:14 Or like what's the point of what you're saying? If you really felt that way, you should be like, I ain't going to do it. Yeah, that's how I'm already in that boat. Like if they do the mandatory vaccine for the flights, for the airplanes, I'm about to jump on that horse, man. It's 1800 style and take it back to Wild Wild West. It's way easier than that.
Starting point is 00:35:30 You just get a private plane. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Of course. The ones waiting for you outside. That's what's going to happen. The beanie plane.
Starting point is 00:35:38 You know that you guys want to know a secret. You know rich people don't need passports, right? Oh, cool. You think I'm playing? You think I'm playing? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Legit. So, you know, I know some people some people friends of my friends particularly wealthy they hop on a private plane all they got to do is say like this is so and so when they're flying in they'll fly into a european airport nobody checks them right they get special access they land and nobody cares you know these are these are billionaires like like anyone's gonna stand in their way this this whole like two different classes this visual was like so obvious during the Met Gala too, which you brought up in the beginning. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:09 It looked so crazy, right? Hunger Games. Yeah, Hunger Games. They were dressed fancy, no masks. They all look all like clean and hidey and back in the line. And they were like these poor, I don't know what they call it, drape holders or whatever. Yeah, they probably have paid like 10 bucks an hour.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Seriously. That guy carrying AOC's dress. Oh, that was so cringy. Poor guy. It's like the lack of self-awareness was so crazy to me. You guys see what people are looking at right now? Those people, they're all masked up and standing all shy and called up in the back while y'all dress fancy.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Yeah, there was also a dinner too. Nancy Pelosi had a dinner in California with like some politicians and some lobbyists and like all the workers are Hispanic and they're wearing like the mask attending to them and they're just these rich liberals like, oh yes. So it's like, think about this though. Think about what's being built
Starting point is 00:36:59 when you have the servants walking in wearing masks and the elites, no rules. I'll tell you, I've been to a bunch of events for like celebrity events and expensive dinners. And it always was really weird to me when it's like all of these people are standing around and they're like eating and drinking. And then the servant staff comes out and they're like serving you food. And I'm just thinking to myself like I was at a Google event once, super VIP like high-profile YouTuber thing like several years ago, maybe like six years ago. And I'm like I wonder what these people are thinking, like these waitstaff that are there wearing these weird little uniforms, carrying you food and just walking around while all of the elites and privileged higher-ups are laughing and partying and you're there serving these millionaires like i would never do that i would i would never do that when
Starting point is 00:37:50 i was growing up i snuck into those events you know i would sneak backstage and to be like i'm here for the show you know i'm not here to to you know serve anybody and now it's even crazier that it's it's almost like don't look me in the eyes when you're serving me. Wear your mask. Don't you dare speak. What did someone say? Like in the Hunger Games book, there were servants called AVOX. And the Capitol elites, like they had their tongues cut out.
Starting point is 00:38:16 So they couldn't talk. So they wouldn't talk to the Capitol elites. And now you have these people wearing masks, walking up. I kind of feel like that would be a fun event to do. Be like, just do it in New York. And if you're a performer, you're exempt from the mandate, right? So I could put on an event and as the performer be totally exempt from having to do this. And then I would put the rules in place for all of the staff, all the people who live in New York.
Starting point is 00:38:39 I'd just be so disparaging. I'd be like, you are utter scum if you're working this event. You are disgusting. Keep your head down at all times. Don't look any of my I'd be like, you are utter scum if you're working this event. You are disgusting. Keep your head down at all times. Don't look any of my guests in the eyes, you plague rat. And then, you know, it'd be really funny because then we'll get like a bunch of performers to all just like be overtly snooty with their pinkies out in champagne, pointing and laughing and being, look at the stupid pores.
Starting point is 00:39:02 They voted for this. We were rich. We don't have to do anything. We flew on a private plane. You think we have to abide by those rules? See, no one said it to these people in their faces. AOC can go to this event and be like, I'm there for cultural enrichment. No mask.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Having some guy in a mask have to walk behind her carrying her dress. Where's the wake up call for these people who keep supporting this crap? Maybe they need someone to laugh in their faces and say, you love it, you know you do, you sadistic masochist. You love that the rich, wealthy elites can do whatever they want, and you will just sit there and take it. We need to see the revolution, man, of the working class. Yeah, there you go. They're asleep right now. They're asleep. Maybe I really should put on an event. You know what? Maybe Joe can do this, Rogan, when he goes onto the Madison Square Garden because they got vax mandates.
Starting point is 00:39:48 I call these businesses in New York and I'm like, you're enforcing this? They're all like, yes, we are. No medical exemptions. Maybe I should just book a venue in New York and then just take all the time on stage to mock and belittle the establishment. I'll be like, look at you guys. You guys are losers.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Pathetic. You wish you were rich. Yeah, but we don't have to abide by any rules. Look at me on stage. I can do whatever I want. You can't do anything about it. When I leave, I'm going to be getting on a private plane where I don't got to follow any mandates or any masks or anything because that's what it means to be rich. Not like you, you poor little plague rat with your garbage establishment. Follow the rules for the edict of the mayor. Someone needs to say to their faces, maybe get them riled up so they can start saying, I demand my freedom and don't disrespect me. America used to be the country where you could be a piss poor drunk in the gutter and see the mayor walk by and be like, screw you, mayor. I don't give a damn. And we had free speech.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Now's the point. Now we're a nation where the people are like, but the mayor said I have to do it. Oh, poor baby. The mayor said so. I guess then you have to just do it. You mentioned this earlier. So long as everyone feels that the public demands it, they just do it. What happened to the Americans who are like, get off my property? I guess they don't live in cities.
Starting point is 00:40:59 I think that we do need an event like that, Tim. I think you need to put that on because that's the subtext. When you look at the pictures from the Met Gala that is the subtext and that is what they're telling you they're telling you that if you don't make as much money as aoc if you don't have as many twitter followers as some of those people you deserve to wear a mask and they don't have to because they're just better than you but no one gets it through their head no one thinks about it that hard they just take it for granted they're like oh this is fine it's the way things are now i just got i got a question right the the people who came to the met gala new york city is under a mask
Starting point is 00:41:28 mandate yep how come aoc wasn't obligated to uh i'm sorry i'm sorry i was wrong it's a vaccine mandate vaccine mandate vaccine not the mask mandate no okay so i was wrong on that one okay but they all were vaccinated so i'll walk that one back yeah so either way but the exemption they had were like you know they were posing for the camera and then you got to show off yourself so i'll walk that one back yeah so either way but the exemption they had were like you know they were posing for the camera and then you got to show off yourself so i guess like you don't have to like you know follow the mask right but at the same time like people back holding your drapes have to maybe what maybe what needs to happen is we need to take it one step further and like put on an event where we not only insist that everybody wear a mask but they should also
Starting point is 00:42:04 wear like a red dress you know they should all be wearing it a mask, but they should also wear a red dress. They should all be women. They should all be wearing red dresses. Like handmaids. Hands, man, too. And then be like, what's wrong? It's a beautiful red dress. Wear your mask and don't look me in the eyes.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Call it an ineffective art piece. And then you just belittle them for an hour. And at the end, be real nice and shake hands when you're done. And be like, oh, it's all an act. But they won't know that. They won't know that on stage. You live here. You voted for this. You can leave New York at any time. You love it and you know it. Each and every one of those people,
Starting point is 00:42:34 they want to have the boot on their neck from people like de Blasio. Because if at any point they didn't, you can walk right out of that city. So why don't they? Poverty. Well, actually maybe you can't right out of that city. So why don't they? Poverty. Well, actually, maybe you can't walk out.
Starting point is 00:42:49 There's no walking bridge that brings you to Jersey. New York? No. You got to drive through those Jersey drivers here. Right. You got the tunnels. You got to face it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:57 There's no walking tunnels or bridges to get out of that place, huh? You can take a subway. You can take a train. You can take the PATH train to get out of New York. Just swim out of the Hudson River. But there you go. So the worst case scenario is you put on the mask, you go on the path train, and then you're out. And then you start walking.
Starting point is 00:43:10 But people want to be there. You know, I'll put it this way. A lot of people are like, I can't move. I don't have the money to do it. And I'm like, what you're really saying is, with all due respect, the comfort of your apartment, the job you have in New York, is more valuable to you than risking
Starting point is 00:43:27 it for your freedom. For me, I feel the opposite. I had an apartment in Chicago. I just got up and left, got a ride share to California and had no plans. I was like, because my freedom, life, exploration, adventure, discovery was more important to me than stability. So for most of these people, they're like, I'd rather be safe than free. Not me.
Starting point is 00:43:49 And that's the thing. America used to be a country of I'd rather be free than safe. But now it's too many. I guess the cities are almost entirely safe over free. Yeah, I was pretty shocked because in the beginning of the year, I was spending some time in California just interviewing parents who are having struggles with their children, with the mental health. And kind of what you were saying too, Tim, is like when I would speak to those parents, they were like, hey, my kids' mental health is so
Starting point is 00:44:12 important to me. Like I'm literally selling my house now. We're going to Utah. We're going to another state. And I remember too, when we were interviewing, you know, all those kids in documentary thing, I mean, all these kids couldn't play in sports. They were, you know, shut down, locked down, yet you turn on the TV and the dodgers were on you know tom brady was winning the super bowl and that's what pissed off a lot of those like parents but i've met a lot of those parents i said i'm done with california we're selling this house my care my kids happiness is way more important than this and then i would follow up like hey how's you know how's your first month in utah they're like it's everything our kids are smiling again they're playing you know we we got
Starting point is 00:44:43 our life back yeah again like so like it's going back to our previous topic. It's like two different countries. So if you desire safety and that bubble, live in California. If you desire freedom, go to Utah, I guess. So that's the whole thing. Whatever you choose, there's a place for it, right? There was a writer. His name is alec
Starting point is 00:45:05 mcmillis and he actually did a great article where he compared the state of texas and new mexico and he looked at the kids who played football so in texas they were wide open playing football new mexico they were completely shut down and the suicide rates of those kids skyrocketed um just and he said this is just comparing like those just just those two states and seeing the amount of kids in new mexico that ended up you know killing themselves and you know during during the lockdowns and he really did a great piece of just analyzing both kids on each side and i'm talking about kids that were like you know you could be living in new mexico like bordering texas and you were completely shut down yet like 12 miles away from you they're playing football on friday nights they have that normal life and he just kind of did
Starting point is 00:45:44 a comparison and it was something I'd never seen before. I think in Las Vegas, they had a Clark County. They had so many suicides from the students that the superintendent came out and said, we have to reopen immediately. It's an emergency. And, you know, we need to bring those conversations back and saying, you know, the mental health impact on these kids, it's like everything. It was like a literal single-dimension analysis.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Like, hey, this is life saved versus life's not saved. That's all we care about, and that's the only rule we need to own. That's the only barometer which matters here. Nothing else matters. It doesn't matter if you lose your job. It doesn't matter if your kid's mental health is down in the gutter. It doesn't matter if you're a single family, single family, none of those factors matters. The only factors matters is whether or not that total number of lives saved versus lives not saved.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Like that's not a way you run things, let alone make policies based on it. Yeah, I think there was another great reporter, Lucas Thomas, and he put out like the stat of like in the military. It was like military members that died of COVID-19. It was like very low. It was like 20, 30. And it was like military members in the same period that died on suicide. It was like 500, 600. And just making those comparisons.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Kind of like what probably State Steel was doing was the comparison with the Chicago kids and the COVID. It was, yeah. I mean like. And they don't talk about obesity either. Oh, yeah. 30.2% of hospitalizations are obese-related. Just in general? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:08 According to the CDC. Yeah, it's funny because you could watch the CNN and they'll be like, oh, we're all about health and get vaccinated. And their commercials are like shoving pain pills down your throat and all these things. It's like – Eat sugar. Now take this high blood pressure medicine to counteract the negative effects. Yeah, it'll be a commercial like take this pain pill. Then like the next commercial would be like, did you take that pain pill and you are getting these side effects?
Starting point is 00:47:28 Call this number. Think about a fast food meal for just one second. You got a burger, fries, enough sodium to give you probably 200 to 300 percent of your daily sodium intake. Lots of fats and sugars and salt. So what do you drown it out with? Caffeine. You get a big psychoactive stimulant along with your depressing meal
Starting point is 00:47:53 to balance it out because you're eating all this garbage that makes you go... So what do you got to do? Psychoactive stimulant picks you right back up. Man. Cycle.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Talk about just burning yourself out with garbage. I always thought it was funny that we have soda everywhere and a lot of sodas have caffeine in it. And I'm like, this has a lot about our diet. We feel bad. We're sluggish and unhealthy. So we have a legal psychoactive stimulant in all of these drinks, caffeine. You can buy caffeine pills and caffeine gum.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Like, yeah, there's something wrong with us if you've got to be doing that. Maybe you need to be exercising or doing something. I don't know. Yeah, like the CDC or no health director ever came out and said, hey, guys, we are the fattest country in the world. We're not. Or this is what you could do.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Wait, we are not the fattest? This is not the fattest country? I'm pretty sure Lebanon is. Well, we're up there. We're up there. They do have really good food though, Lebanon. But they never just came out and said, hey, guys, something that could probably help is just 30 minutes of exercise a day. Get some sun in you.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Oh, no. Nothing else matters. Yeah, they kept all that info on the down low. Yeah, they should have mandated gym memberships or something. I don't know. Nauru, Cook Islands, Palau, Marshall Islands, Tuvalu, Niu, Tonga, Samoa, Kiribati. We're doing pretty good then.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Is that because Coca-Cola got in there? In Chile, they used to be 20 years ago, they were like super healthy and now they're obese. They should have mandated every American to watch the Arnold documentary Iron Pump and go get motivated and go hit Venice Beach or
Starting point is 00:49:26 something. Or fasting, geez. Let's jump to this border stuff. This story is so bad in this story, it made me laugh. From Fox News, Texas Border Patrol agents discover stash houses packed with nearly 100 illegal immigrants. But wait, none of the apprehended migrants were wearing personal protective equipment. Good job, Fox News. Sam, you shouldn't have said that. That's not the Babylon. Good job, Fox News.
Starting point is 00:49:45 That's not the Babylon Bee. It's Fox News. That's what it says. I don't know why they brought that up. CBP said none of the migrants had been wearing PPE. Agents provided them PPE, and they were medically screened before being processed. You'd think this was a Babylon Bee. CBP has not said one of the migrants that's a positive for covet 19 so the story here should be that they
Starting point is 00:50:09 found 100 illegal immigrants in stash houses but for some reason it's turned into like ppe i guess when you drive a narrative so hard you got people distracted i mean look that gabby petito thing where when i when i was I know, I just don't care. I was talking to this guy earlier, and I was like, well, we're doing a new show. It's like Mysteries, True Crime, Paranormal. And he was like, oh, so Gabby Petito. And I was like, never.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Wait, why not? I want to know. I'm curious. Why not? Because, for one, the story is about a missing woman. Correct. There are probably 300 missing women right now with tons of news stories secondly we know that she's not alive and that means the missing women who are alive
Starting point is 00:50:51 could use some news coverage so perhaps we can find her or them while they're still alive also this guy involved in the story apparently there's evidence there was you know cross domestic dispute stuff and i'm like okay look by all means report the story like you'd report any other story but this obsession with it that's like people just started pushing all these stories non-stop about what's going on this one guy and i'm like there's probably one of these women serial killer hitchhiker murderer kidnapper this is a guy who was in a domestic dispute where apparently in one video she was admitted to hitting him and then he hit her and then who knows what happened. I don't know what happened. I'm not going to pretend to know what happened.
Starting point is 00:51:29 But it's just one story that they're giving all this attention to. And now here we are talking about it. I don't care. I think my favorite part about that, Tim, is seeing all the liberal media came out and was like, this is a missing white woman syndrome. We have every month or every day 300
Starting point is 00:51:44 indigenous women go missing and they don't get get the attention i'm like you're the mainstream media you're supposed to do that like wait a minute yeah you have the platform to do that they're the ones who don't do it it's like the spider-man meme yeah and then brett who who works here made a good point it was like didn't people nearly burn down the country because a black man was killed yeah i'm like yeah this is, this is just, it's the stupidest trash ever. You know, to a certain degree, I understand what they're saying with missing white woman syndrome. They're wrong, though, because there are a bunch of missing white women who are not getting covered. There was a video of Petito with her nipples poking through her shirt.
Starting point is 00:52:19 That's why. It's a bunch of, like, young, oversexed guys pushing this narrative. I hear what you're saying. Yeah, it's disgusting. But you can Google search missing women and find a bunch of like young, over-sexed guys pushing this narrative. No, bro, bro. I hear what you're saying. Yeah, it's disgusting. But you can Google search missing women and find a bunch of attractive young women. But that's why this one got. No, you can find a bunch of other attractive young women who are still alive and missing right now. With video of their nipples poking through their shirts?
Starting point is 00:52:37 Yes, yes, yes, Ian. Yes. Well. That's why I'm saying this is a stupid story because she had some Instagram followers. I think it was also. And then he chose to push it and then everyone else having nothing better to do were like I guess I'll talk about it too.
Starting point is 00:52:49 One thing they had better do was take the spotlight off of the Afghanistan surrender. Oh yeah. That was like a week after that. Yeah but there were a lot of other stories. I mean the border crisis. There's always something. I mean people love it because there's a lot of young men in this country and a lot of missing relationships.
Starting point is 00:53:06 And you see a hot girl on TV. It's like, man, does that drop people's spirits. There are probably hundreds of women of the same age and same everything with videos. Maybe it's like the right place at the right time kind of thing. It's like, this one's good. Sure. Sure. It went viral on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:53:21 And then the media was like, we'll roll with this story. It was meaningless and nonsensical. So we got a real story that I don't want to deviate from where we've got stash houses full of illegal immigrants. And so I'm like, I'm going to talk about that. I'm not going to talk about one missing person. I could talk about other missing people. How about all the people being smuggled by human traffickers?
Starting point is 00:53:38 There you go. That's not the news. You got to get a video on them. That's it, man. People like- There's tons of videos. They believe what they see out of sight, out of mind. ahead and put it on tiktok just go on my twitter we got the video of all the people being smuggled yeah smuggled into the country i'd add record
Starting point is 00:53:53 numbers and some of these kids don't make the news these kids are used so some some smuggler will take a child kidnap them and then they'll use it to cross the border and say it's my child and then as soon as they cross the border they throw the kid and they walk away or they'll return the kid and give it to somebody else and this kid has no idea what's going on it's just being used as a trafficking tool so that bleeding hearts can be like the poor baby we should make sure they're unified with their parent and you're like that's not the kid's parent dude that's a smuggler trying to circumvent the law claiming that kid is theirs well Well, we don't know that. That's the problem
Starting point is 00:54:27 when they talk about child separation. They just make up, oh, Trump was so evil, he separated parents from their kids. How do we know those kids are related to those old people? We don't. Even last night,
Starting point is 00:54:39 when I was in Roma, Texas, and we were documenting the human smugglers bringing in these Nicaraguan migrants, and there was one man, you could tell, he had he had a little little boy with him you could tell that he wasn't the dad he was grabbing him rough and when we had the cameras out he was just acting really frantic and and and nervous it's like we're watching in real time and you know where's the media this is this is what we're seeing at the border is impacting brown and
Starting point is 00:55:01 black lives um at a record record number all the other human smuggling the trafficking like i said uh july and august is the first time in border patrol history that back-to-back month over 200 apprehensions i mean you can only imagine all the kids and i said we witnessed it last night there was this man just grabbing this kid almost like manhandling them and i'm like yo i mean look what's going on the border patrol is like we know we know we know what's going on um there that's not that's not the dad um and that's happening every single day and when we're down there documenting the human smuggling one thing that i always come to mind is like this is just a little bit part of a border that we're able to see could you imagine the the rest of it in arizona to new mexico and
Starting point is 00:55:37 texas and it's happening every day it's become like the new normal over there like over there that roma texas they're used to having their raps drop off kids um sex traffic human smoking like i said they had those those bracelets so you could you could keep track with the with the proof of purchase and that's not making the news that's not making uh the headlines that should be like our our top thing like we actually have a humanitarian crisis at our border i don't know if if the rest of america just you know just because it's the united states you know when people think humanitarian crisis they think oh they think yemen or the middle east but we literally have one here at the southern border and it's the United States, when people think humanitarian crisis, they think, oh, they think Yemen or the Middle East. But we literally have one here at the southern border, and it's happening every single day.
Starting point is 00:56:08 It's happening right now while we're speaking. To some extent, people are desensitized to it. Since the drum was being beaten since 2017, the first Trump puts kids in cages, that was the first time when people were like, oh, there's an actual crisis at the border. And then from there, it's like today, it like oh it got dropped used to get dropped it's like it's like different group of people back then it was mexico now it's like what haitians and i was speaking to a border patrol agent in these uh in these border facilities right there they're in these rooms what they that they call pods and these pods they're only meant for like eight migrants at a time yeah border patrol agents telling me there's like 400 people in these
Starting point is 00:56:44 eight person pods each stacked on against each's like 400 people in these eight person pods each stacked on against each other like 400 in each room where they're only meant for eight like he said there are people literally sleeping on top of each other like he was texting me all this all this information he's like hey with these Haitians it's even worse and that a lot of those Haitian males they came with young like young children and he's like we're we're trying to break them up you know from the the real falls or real falls or not, but there's so many migrants, there's just not enough that we could do. And even NBC News put out a report last month that those migrants are being sexually assaulted in those facilities. There's no way to keep track of them.
Starting point is 00:57:16 The New York Times put out a report last month that one out of every three migrant children released into the United States, they lose track of. Biden was smuggling kids across the United States. Remember that story? Yep. There's video of it. And that stuff just disappears. And the funny thing is Joe Biden's approval rating didn't take a hit from it. Nope.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Can I see one of those wristbands? Well, let's – Can I have one of those? Can I have one of those to keep? Thanks, man. This is it. If you want to remember, I want to remember this. Thanks, man. This is it. If you want to remember, I want to remember this. Thanks, dude.
Starting point is 00:57:48 This is just like the reason why I kind of collect them and kind of bring them is just to kind of show the American audience like this is happening in real time. And they say, you know, on these braces, they say entregas, which means delivered. And they actually treat these migrants like almost like an Amazon product, like a shipment. So two things either happen. Either the migrants have already paid, so they'll you know they'll cross and you know they'll be releasing to united states or two is if they didn't pay um their full price then they'll be essentially become indentured servants and slaves here in the united states yeah and then you can see like the little kids always have these bracelets on their ankles so they can't like
Starting point is 00:58:22 easily come off um so it's just it's it's it's crazy to see see it in in in person and that it's like it's literally happening in the united states and one border patrol source told me that the cartels are making up to 14 million dollars a day just off human smuggling not even counting their money come from it's the cartel like it's yeah well the cartels are migrants have are in the cartels no the cartels are really smart is when they get connected with these migrants, these huge caravans, is the majority of the Central Americans, they already have family in the state. So what the cartels do is they get connected with the family in the states, and they make them pay the $5,000, $6,000, $7,000 for that fee.
Starting point is 00:59:00 So it's very well organized. And the people back in the states – Where do they get that money from? The family that already lives here in the united states oh okay yeah like so they send their money back to yeah so this is like i was interviewing a couple salvadoran families that like they had to pay a coyote like seven thousand dollars to get like their cousins here to the border so like the the the cartels are smart they'll get connected with the family members back in the u.s they'll make them pay the fee because have the money, and that's how they kind of organize and get here.
Starting point is 00:59:27 And like I said, if they don't pay the fee, they essentially become indentured servants, and that's something that me and Sonic got to see firsthand. We just spent like two months in Southern California documenting these cartels who are coming into that area. They're starting up illegal marijuana growth. So usually when people hear marijuana growth, it's like, oh, what's the's the big deal it's just pot it's just like two hippie dudes in the middle of nowhere listening to reggae but what's happening is that these cartels found out that in california it's so rural these deserts they start up illegal marijuana operations and then they'll
Starting point is 00:59:55 smuggle the the migrants from south texas and force them to work those marijuana grows and they'll arm them because out there they're having literally cartel battles between other cartels and other migrant groups. Me and Sonia got to be embedded with San Bernardino County, their marijuana enforcement team. It was sad. Yeah, they went to raid a marijuana grow that was operated by the Chinese mafia. And when we got there, the people who were working that grow were Chinese nationals that were smuggling into the southern border undocumented. And they were crying when they got arrested. I mean, these are people who are literally that grow were Chinese nationals that were smuggled into the southern border, undocumented. And they were crying when they got arrested. I mean, these are people who are literally working off a debt.
Starting point is 01:00:30 They have no idea what's going on. That's their way of paying back to the cartel members by putting their hours in these marijuana grows. But the problem is, since the cartel knows, they are kind of the kingpins. So they are not involved with the ground-to-ground. So anytime raids happen, the people who get arrested are these undocumented immigrants. And this is like a whole system like hey you come into the border and if you're if you are already paid into the system well and good if you're not paid the way you put work in is by basically infiltrating these californian deserts and by growing marijuana and not only that there is like cartel turf wars between different different
Starting point is 01:01:04 cartels because there's mexicanel turf wars between different cartels because there's Mexican cartels, there's Chinese cartels, there's Armenian cartels. So it's like a whole racket going on. Armenian and Chinese down there in Mexico? No, in California. In California. Wow. In the California desert.
Starting point is 01:01:14 And we saw all three. Yeah, so when we were out there, we discovered that there's an Armenian crime organization, the Chinese mafia, and Mexican cartels are all fighting in Southern California for these large desert properties. When I was out and I was covering the border early with the crisis, I met Congressman Mike Garcia, who represents District 25 in California.
Starting point is 01:01:34 For those who don't know, District 25 is a purple district, meaning it could swing Democrat, it could swing Republican. It was the district that Katie Hill had. She got caught with three-sevenths in her staffers. That was an easy cycle. But what happened was is that Mike Garcia won in that special election by less than 500 votes. And then a year later into him serving for Congress, he has now this cartel issue. So when I met Congressman Mike Garcia, I was like, hey, Congressman, you're the only representative from California in South Texas.
Starting point is 01:02:00 How come you're out here? He's like, hey, we have a major Mexican cartican cartel human trafficking human smoking problem back in my district the crazy thing is like um my carcio's district is where my hometown is i was like wait back in you know like palm dino valley like we have a cartel problem he's like yeah you got to come see it for yourself and that's when i called sonic i'm like you know we need to do a full investigation find out what's going on so we went deep dive and went into like the cartels the the human smuggling we even got like a little spy drone that we would fly over the grow ops and you know there's just so much also layers to this and what kind of really opened up the floodgates was that in california they
Starting point is 01:02:36 passed prop 64 which legalized cannabis statewide but it downgraded um illegal cultivation from a felony to a misdemeanor and now the the cartels kind of opened up this black market business and are just dominating. And then what helps them out in L.A. County is they have a very progressive DA, George Cascone, who, I mean, doesn't even charge anyone at all. And it's just kind of crazy. And this is all resulting from the southern border. Well, so what's up with these Chinese cartels? How are they getting in?
Starting point is 01:03:05 What are they doing? So they're essentially the same way as the Mexican cartels. They buy property, start up illegal grow-ups, and they'll smuggle their own Chinese nationals through Mexico and up to California. Like I said, I was shocked. We were shocked because we were like, hey, these are not Mexican people. We walked in.
Starting point is 01:03:23 So the sheriff was like, hey, so we have a raid coming. Do you want to shadow us? And we were like, these are not mexican people like we walked in so the sheriff was like hey uh so we got some we have a raid coming do you want to shadow us and we were like yeah let's do it and we followed them and once we pulled up to the to the grill we saw the grill there was like huge huge huge marijuana plants getting confiscated and then we saw like four people like handcuffs on sitting outside waiting to be like put into the car and then we just peeked in and they were like clearly not hispanic and then we were like what are the chinese people doing here and they were like oh even they are smuggled through the mexican borders to through the southern border and like that's the gateway ed calderon was on the show last week and he said it's like an open joke around the world that anyone can get into the u.s through the mexican border they just go to
Starting point is 01:04:02 mexico and then they up they come i mean they're right. They're right. And I think when these cartels or these human smuggling groups look at what happened with the Haitians, it almost, you know, we're giving them a better argument because all they can say is, hey, you just go up to the U.S., you claim you're a family unit, we will push you in a caravan. They can't handle it. So they're just literally going to process you really quick and release you into the United States. And we even did interviews, Tim, with these Haitians outside the airport. And I was like, hey, you know, were you tested for COVID-19 before release you into the united states and we even did interviews tim with with these haitians outside the airport and i was like hey you know were you tested tested for
Starting point is 01:04:28 covid19 before being released into the public nope of course not yeah not only that they were treating the whole system as like a win like they were like oh we did send back the single males but we kept the families i'm like okay uh these families though so like there's no way to verify if they're if they're family. So, yeah, I mean, like I said, this is all resulting from an open board. It has really a lot of consequences. Even for just regular American workers, big corporations love the open board because it keeps their wages down. And, I mean, you just get hit all angles.
Starting point is 01:04:59 So, yeah, me and Sonic, like I said, we did a deep dive two months into it. The documentary is going to come out next week. So we really hope a lot of people just look at it and just kind of see the reality on the ground of people being human smuggled, human trafficked. I think when people think about this, they don't think that it could happen on American soil at the rate it is. But it's happening. And Ed said this on your show too, Tim, is that people think that the Mexican cartels are not here. They're here. They've been here for years.
Starting point is 01:05:24 And now they're getting more emboldened. People forget about the fact that people usually don't empathize with the topic because they're like, oh, once they're here, they're here, like whatever. But once they're here, they're in our communities. I don't know what they're doing. Some of them may be honest workers, but at times they're working for the cartels and growing weed and terrorizing neighborhoods and deserts where there's like no cop presence you know people don't understand too uh i did a story on the drought in california several years ago went to a bunch of farms i met some some young kids who were born in america but their parents were illegal immigrants and they were working on farms you know like picking dates
Starting point is 01:06:01 or something on whatever fruits they do and stuff down there and they were like oh, oh, yeah, you know, our parents get $14 an hour. And I was like, that's really interesting. And they were like, their parents aren't documented. That's what they said. And they made $14 an hour. And I'm like, $14 an hour? Like why not just hire an American? It's actually really obvious.
Starting point is 01:06:17 No benefits, no taxes. So if they can pay someone $14 an hour, an american would have to get paid more because of taxes on both ends the employment tax as well as the person's income tax so when people say things like well they're doing the jobs americans wouldn't want to do i'm pretty sure if you went to an american and said you know 15 bucks an hour 14 bucks an hour you know for a lot of people would be like yes please because because right now they're the fight for 15 in new york i think they got it basically. But this was around the same time.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Around the same time I'm hearing that illegal immigrants, undocumented immigrants are getting 14 bucks an hour to pick fruit in the fields. Americans are fighting for a minimum wage at that level because they're not making that much at McDonald's or whatever. So basically they look at it this way. We're going to pay 14 bucks an hour to this person and we're going to save 7.5% on this person and we're going to save 7.5% on employment tax. We're going to, we're going to, they're going to save 7.5% on their end.
Starting point is 01:07:09 So we'd have to pay 15 bucks an hour. We save a little bit, but we're still paying comparable to what an American would get. So yeah, Americans would love to have that job. I, when I was in LA, I was working at a restaurant that had a lot of illegal immigrants working there and they were the cool people but illegally in the country and there was this like building on the street that had all these like apartments in it where they stayed and it was like for illegal immigrants and it was super cheap rent and i wanted it it was super nice but compared to my place but so yeah but this concept too like it was you know years ago like even bernie sand Bernie Sanders would come out and said that he didn't support open boards because of how it impacted American wages.
Starting point is 01:07:48 So even he got pushed by the progressive group. But even he saw it. And I think just we've got to take out the politics and just say this is an American problem that we're seeing. And right now, the people who are suffering the most and being taken advantage of are these like legit family units or these innocent people that live in these countries that are getting sold this dream of like, hey, you just come to the US. You get temporary protected status. The time is to come now. The Biden administration put that signal. I remember during that campaign, Kamala Harris had that famous quote that went viral.
Starting point is 01:08:20 It was like, you know, if you come here illegally, we're not going to deport you. That's inhumane. We're going to be the more humane organization. I mean, just that little quote, you just gave the cartels here illegally, we're not going to deport you. That's inhumane. We're going to be the more humane organization. I mean, just that little quote, you just gave the cartels the ammo. No, no, Biden said, come to the border. The whole idea. Biden said, surge the border if you want to come, come. Give us your weak, your sick, your poor.
Starting point is 01:08:36 Wasn't that the American thing back in the day? That's not the America of today. We're overloaded. No, you mean going to Ellis Island to be processed? Yeah, like, come immigrants, everyone. That was 100 years ago. We're not in that position now to take all these new immigrants. That was a poem at an island where immigrants were being processed legally.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Of course. Of course. But I don't even think we can handle – I mean we can barely handle legal immigration right now. This country is overloaded and poorly optimized. I think we can handle legal immigration. The problem is how can you handle legal immigration when we can't track all of the illegal immigration? Exactly. So we're like, hey, we want to allocate X amount of space to people. The problem is how can you handle legal immigration when we can't track all of the illegal immigration? Exactly.
Starting point is 01:09:08 So we're like, hey, we want to allocate X amount of space to people. We've got this line of people and then everyone just rushes in. You're like, I don't know where everybody went or what our resources are anymore. Yeah. And look what happened with the Haitians. 15,000 came and – From Chile and Brazil. Yeah. Then they get processed and they got released in the United States all in under like a week just because the Haitians under that bridge was looking looking bad optics for the biominister they're like hey just hurry up speed it up we don't even
Starting point is 01:09:28 care if you test them or not just get them get them get them out of here the thing which also bothers me and this is like a devil's advocate argument is just like haiti is actually a messed up country like there's like so many things wrong with haiti especially with the president getting murdered and like earthquakes and stuff like that so there may be some people with actual asylum claims there so but when you overload the system and you have been doing that for like five six years maybe those people like you know who are supposed to get asylum in an ideal world are like lost in the dust and guess what there's even more coming there's already 10 000 stuck in tapachula mexico there's even thousands more making their way through colombia and panama and it's not just the haitians it's the venezuelans
Starting point is 01:10:08 they're still coming at a record number central americans are still coming at a record number we were literally documenting the human smoking last night in in roma and it's just like you know when i when i speak to border patrol it's like you know the the for them and it's kind of a little bit obvious now looking at the hindsight but it's like just the removal of trump's uh you know remain in mexico policy really just opened up the floodgates because the thinking was for the migrants in the trump administration is why would i pay the cartels and human smuggling groups to cross into the u.s illegally for the trump administration to give me a court order but i would have to wait in a border town of mexico which is most likely cartel related the risk is just too high so when the biden administration came out and said it's
Starting point is 01:10:44 removing the remain in Mexico policy, that literally just opened up the floodgates. But didn't a court overrule that? A court overruled it and said you have to do it, but I mean, from my reporting, we haven't seen any evidence of those migrants having to wait in Mexico. I mean, we just saw with the Haitians. If it was true, those Haitians would have had to stay
Starting point is 01:10:59 in Sudá, Ocuna. They were going back and forth. Yeah, yeah. Like there's no border. I don't know if you guys saw the video on Twitter, but I was in the water when they were transporting supplies. And I asked the Haitians and the Mexicans, I said, hey, how come you're standing here and not going over there?
Starting point is 01:11:11 They're like, we were only eating like one time a day over there. So it's like, I'd rather be on the Mexican side. Wow. But now the Mexican authorities went to the Ciudad Acuña. It was like a makeshift Haitian camp and they made those Haitians move.
Starting point is 01:11:23 So we're getting reports right now that there's thousands of Haitians going to Re reynosa mexico which that means the direct town across from them is mcallen texas one of the hardest hit sections in texas is that rgb area man you were saying earlier i think that um haitians that had moved to haiti or that had moved to chile yes we're living in chile for a long time they've been there now they come up here and they get deported from the u.s but they get deported to haiti well essentially what happened is all these haitians were living in chile had already had chilling ids refugee status and things like that then when the when we made the transition from the trump to the biden administration
Starting point is 01:11:56 the the care the smugglers told them your time is now if you want to make make a run to the states so we had thousands of haitians come up but they got stuck in tapachula Mexico so that's the border town in South and South Mexico the government there actually didn't let the Haitians travel without proper documents the only thing is is that the government never never actually processed documents so what happened was is you had thousands of Haitians living in Tapachula waiting for something to happen like sleeping on the streets while thousands more kept coming so so many came on the week of September 12th, which is actually a Mexican holiday called El Grito. The local government gave them a three-day pass to travel. And they ended up, the human smugglers, everyone, they moved them up to Suracoña.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Now, Suracoña is one of the few border towns that's actually not, like, controlled by a cartel smuggling group. So, meaning, that's why in those videos, you're able to see the Haitians walk that river back and forth, bring supplies, because they didn't have to pay. If they did, once they crossed that one time, it's done. And that's why when we're with the Haitians, you don't find the wristbands at all. Well, tell us about – pull up the wristbands, and let's actually go through it this time and just tell us about what they are, what they mean. So Jorge's got a bunch of these wristbands. These are human smugglers. Put these on people, on kids.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Yeah, I want you to at least keep these, Tim. It's good to see you have them. That's kind of scary. It's kind of scary. It's kind of creepy. Yeah, so these are the – so this is what kind of our reporting has showed is that the Central Americans have to pay a human smuggling group or cartel group to cross the Rio Grande River. And the different color wristbands means there's different human smuggling groups. So here we have red ones. We have some black ones, and we have some purple ones.
Starting point is 01:13:22 The majority of these ones say entregas, which means delivered. That means the product has already been delivered. So either if they haven't paid the full payment, then they become indentured servants on our side, but they also have to pay for the kids. Yeah, these are – it's insane to see it in person because, I mean, literally – Pull it straight so people can read what it says. Yeah, I mean, like literally last night, guys, we were interviewing migrants coming from nicaragua with our human smuggler right in front of us we have the video it's up on twitter and um we got to collect these from the mic the reason that i keep getting asked like why do you collect them it's like we're trying to show these are numbered
Starting point is 01:13:54 dude these are serial numbers yeah and it's different like it's different you know for me just telling you like hey this is what's going on then when you see it in person you're like whoa wait this is this is this is a mechanized industry. There is a serial number on these bands. Well organized. 4,186. 4,488. And Ian, last night, the little kids would have them on their ankles.
Starting point is 01:14:18 And it's crazy how they treat these people. And like I said, last night there was a moment where one of the males from Nicaragua had his little boy. And you could just tell he was not the father. I i mean he was manhandling this kid like a product and when we when we had the cameras filming him he was frank frantic trying to trying to like hide behind a national guardsman and the crazy thing too tim is being there in person is so you know on the mexican side we're witnessing the raft come with the with the kids i mean we're talking about babies in these boats that could drown i mean it's it's like one of the saddest scenes when they get dropped off on the american side and seeing that struggle but so what they they come from the mexican side on the american side is a national guard with flashlights directing them
Starting point is 01:14:53 to come here so then they'll literally drop them off right in front of the national guard sometimes the national guard goes in the system and then so we ask them like you know how come you guys don't pursue the human smugglers according to them they say they don't arrest the human smugglers because their worry is that when they go to arrest them that they'll flip over the raft so then the kids would drown and all the attention goes to the kids but i've i just can't believe this like it's just happened so brazen yeah it's so so it doesn't even matter we could have every single national guard from every single state be there but it they're literally doing nothing i mean and then they
Starting point is 01:15:25 have like m16s i don't even have they're not even loaded dude migration has been the downfall of a lot of nations over the over the look at look at look at sweden right now there's they're struggling massively with having only the huge influx of that i actually don't think that's true uh a lot of the problems that sweden's facing has to do with 20 years ago so when somali somali refugees and it's not even the refugees it's their kids who are who are because sweden is so overwhelmingly racist what they did was in the 90s they brought in a bunch of somali refugees those refugees then had children who are 100 somali but born in sweden speaking swedish and then because swedes are so racist they were like we're not going to give you jobs or education. So you basically created this, you create ghettos.
Starting point is 01:16:08 And then these people who are from Sweden aren't viewed as Somali by their, you know, family in Somalia. And they're not viewed as Swedish by people in Sweden. So they form pocket communities, effectively viewing themselves outside the state. So that's, that's Sweden's Sweden's issue. And I, you know, of all the people to talk about social justice or whatever, no, Sweden's legit racist. Like, they will not give you a job if you do not conform. And we talked to a bunch of Americans who said the same thing. So maybe race isn't the right word. Maybe they're like –
Starting point is 01:16:39 Homogenous. Nationalist. Nationalist, yeah. Like, if you are not discernibly Swedish inish in accent and color they won't hire you it becomes very very difficult but they will create ghetto subsidized housing i mean like literal ghetto not you know subsidized housing blocks where they'll put you and then be terrified when violence breaks out so so it is it is a bit different you know in sweden yeah going back to the roman empire basically part of the downfall of that was all the mass migration from the north
Starting point is 01:17:04 because the huns were coming from the east and it's just spilled over. And then you'd see in desperate times there'd be these huge civilizations would be migrating and the Romans would go murder them all because they couldn't handle it. It was like if they come, we
Starting point is 01:17:20 lose. So they would... This is a horrible dystopic future that could happen if we don't somehow solve this. Yo, it's happened. It's happened. Well, we have long-range communication now. 1.4, 1.5 million apprehensions this year, not counting the people who break through without being caught. It's unprecedented.
Starting point is 01:17:43 This is, you know, people say, I'm doomer, I'm blackpilled, we shouldn't be, we're going to win. I'm like, you didn't understand something. Freedom may win, but not before the system around us falls apart. So where you are, things might actually start getting, I mean, it's bad right now, right? But I don't think the United States survives everything that's happening from the mandates, from the breakdown between states, the social cohesion to the mass migration. It's just I don't see the republic as it stands surviving this. Now, as for us as individuals and our culture, I think it's going to be good for a lot. Texas is going to do better.
Starting point is 01:18:18 Florida will do better. West Virginia will do better. New Hampshire will do better. New York and California, I suspect, will do worse. But maybe those people will enjoy it and they'll be happy with it tim did you see uh sarah soberman come out and was like oh we need to split split it to like usa1 and usa2 that sounds like a great idea yeah yeah it's like okay it's not about we need to it's that the sentiment is there and i think we're on that track no matter what we want to do yeah because we have two different populations in
Starting point is 01:18:42 america it's we have the i listen to everything the government tells me and Because we have two different populations in America. We have the, I listen to everything the government tells me, and then we have the, hey, stay out of our lives. We still want to keep that old school American style. So we're seeing that split. But what's actually also interesting on the immigration is Chile this past week was actually holding protests against the Venezuelan migrants that are coming into their country. So we're seeing kind of that kind of play out in South America as
Starting point is 01:19:06 well. But as of right now, we're getting reports that more Haitians are making the trek to the U.S.-Mexico border. Yeah. And, well, it was fun, huh? That's black pill. Soviets only last 69 years. Yeah, that's a black pill.
Starting point is 01:19:20 While he's holding a literal black pill. Yeah, it's Ian's obsidian. Soviet Union only lasted 69 years. The United States, we got about 270, almost 260-something. Is that where we're at? Yeah, and just letting in this huge migration isn't good. I mean, and we're also seeing with all the kind of the Afghan immigrants that we just brought in, the refugees we just brought in,
Starting point is 01:19:42 there are already reports of some sexual assault in some of the military camps that they're staying at we just have to vet these people i was speaking to border patrol agents they're saying it's impossible to vet these migrants at the at the pace that they are they say it takes such a long time they're like there's no way we know anything about these people especially the gotaways that's actually the the real scary number when you when you talk look so there's a lot of stuff we talk about when we say like the republic is falling or whatever joe biden's rule by decree separation of powers are are completely gone the states are so far at odds with each other there's there's no there's no um compromise the democrats are like get rid of the filibuster and ram through
Starting point is 01:20:20 our agenda in the face of republicans instead of just take care of your own states. Why should New York ram through an agenda for West Virginia? It makes no sense. But what are we hearing in response? Conservatives being like, if we get the House back, we're going to impeach Biden. And I respect that. They should. But they're like, we'll get rid of the filibuster,
Starting point is 01:20:36 then we'll ram through stuff. And it's like, bro, the only track we're on is it breaks apart. But when you mentioned the National Guard is just fanning these people in and being like, well, there's not much we can do. It's like, dude, when your border can't guard its border and people can walk back and forth for takeout, you have no border. And if you have no border, you have no country. It's honestly – it's a joke, Tim, how these – just watching them go back and forth, then seeing the National Guard. I'm like, what are we doing to it? There's literally no enforcement, and the cartels continue to win.
Starting point is 01:21:08 The establishment politicians that push these policies continue to win. And I just don't know how long we could sustain this. I think we're on pace right now for 2 million apprehensions at the U.S. southern border. Still not counting those gotaways that get in. We have these large family units that we don't know if they're family units getting processed into the United States, getting flown all over the country. I just flew today from the McAllen Airport to Dallas. And on my flight, I mean, the majority were Central American migrants being flown. Holding with the folders that say, I don't speak any English.
Starting point is 01:21:39 Can you help me with my next flight and and then and then on the other side it has all the um all the like where they're stopping so say like mcallen to houston to new york or mcallen houston to new jersey whatever so they're being flown all over so are the haitians like i said the majority haitians that i interviewed are going to florida but still they're they're getting flown all over and there's no track um there's no way to track these migrants and another thing is there's no way to make sure that they even go to that court order i was speaking to border patrol sources they say only 13 percent of the time they even go to that court order. So they already said we essentially just already let them loose.
Starting point is 01:22:11 And then when you speak to the Haitians, like, hey, are you going to go to your court order? They're like, what? I live here now. So they look at me like I'm crazy. So that's the situation that we have at hand. And supposedly we're still going through a pandemic, yet we're releasing thousands of folks who are not tested for COVID-19. Who was it? Peter Doocy, is that his name?
Starting point is 01:22:30 The journalist? Yeah, Peter Doocy. Yeah, he asks, Saki, are you testing these people for COVID when they cross the border? And she's like, no. Yeah, she's like, oh, we're not testing them because they don't plan to stay here long. Unlike tourists. Yeah, I'm like, that's the opposite we're seeing on the ground the thing is when they get a court order these migrants that court order could take up to even three years for to for them even to have a
Starting point is 01:22:51 date what is the red bracelet these are just like i said it's like yeah it's like every every color is a different migrant or smuggling group so last last night we were running into the same group with with all these uh with all these black bracelets, and the majority of the migrants that we spoke to last night were coming from Nicaragua. We did meet two from Cuba, which I was pretty shocked. But every time that we're down there, we want to show these people that – or show the American audience, like, look what's going on at an alarming rate. And the thing is, it's like the national attention from the border,
Starting point is 01:23:22 like the spotlight moved as soon as the Haitians got cleared out of the bridge. We were there. All the mainstream media left, and they were done. And I was like, you know what? Let's continue to show people what's going on, and I'll be back in Texas pretty soon. But this situation, like I said, it rose up not just Texas, but Sonic and I being in California, seeing those migrants being forced to work those grow-ups. And it's happened all across California and in different states as well. You were saying in ancient Rome they were dealing with a migration crisis?
Starting point is 01:23:52 Yeah, the Huns came from the east and tons of civilizations fled into northeast Rome. It was basically the fall of the empire. It was a big part of it. Wasn't there a credit crunch? I don't know. I know in Greece there was. I don't know if in ancient Rome there was also i wasn't there like a credit crunch um i don't know i know in greece there was i don't know if in ancient rome there was it does feel though like china is laughing at us seeing
Starting point is 01:24:09 this huge demise and kind of everything you were saying too tim with like the state powers and stuff but it's also that our elites in this country are not even loyal to this country they have already aligned themselves with with china whether it's big business whether it's entertainers or politicians. They've all decided that they have aligned themselves with the Chinese Communist Party. Maybe 2008 was the iceberg. And since then, the elites have been like, well, we got 20 years.
Starting point is 01:24:36 Start collecting that silverware to sell off. And they hit up China and say, look, our ship's sinking. We want a safe landing, so we'll give you all the good fine China from the boat. That's what we're facing. Look at the whole situation with John Cena.
Starting point is 01:24:51 He came out and said something about positive, or I think he recognized Taiwan, and then within two days, he's already making his video in Mandarin apologizing to the Chinese people. All the American companies do the same thing. They'll bow down their head to China. That's why I love South Park when they continue to troll China
Starting point is 01:25:09 and Jing and stuff like that. But yeah, I mean, like I said, our elites, our politicians have all aligned with them and they're not loyal to this country. I mean, we've already been seeing this in the NAFTA and the trade deals when we shipped all of our manufacturing jobs to China. And we saw states like Michigan and Ohio, Penn State, I mean, and Pennsylvania lose all that manufacturing jobs. And we saw all those basically, you know, huge unemployment and men that, you know, were used to, I'm talking about like single income family men now have no jobs because those manufacturing jobs got shipped. And now we're seeing on the southern border all the fentanyl and opioids getting pushed into those same communities. It's a bit apocalyptic, I guess. I think in the long run, I mean, humanity is going to be fine.
Starting point is 01:25:53 But for a lot of people, I think they view America as the world. And so what I see it as like, you know, look, if in the end, West Virginia, Texas, New Hampshire, Florida, Wyoming, whatever, red state says we're going to do our own thing. Is that really the end of the world? Is it really bad? I don't know. No, definitely not. The sea peoples, another group of migrants, 1200 BC or something that came from the north and no one knows why, but they overran Mesopotamia.
Starting point is 01:26:21 It was the end of like civilization as it was known. And then like small dark age. And then you start to see the resurgence. But that's just the nature of reality is tragedy and migration. I don't know. We have great technology, long-range electricity, well, long-range communication electricity. So maybe we can use the American ideals and rewrite a more organized system for the globe.
Starting point is 01:26:44 I think it's beyond nationalism at this point obviously these borders don't really matter anymore but it's also like a huge it's a huge cultural problem because these people are not going to assimilate and if they're working low you know low wage low skilled jobs they're most likely going to get on some type of welfare that then after that the american taxpayer has to pick up that bill not only that like let's say if someone's whole ideology is not aligned towards you know protecting my protecting what america is based on and stuff like that and like they go towards empathizing more with these migrants so like think about like i would appeal to them like think about what they have to go through right because like when
Starting point is 01:27:18 we were talking to all these people in the deserts they were like we watch these people run these marijuana camps all these illegal immigrants. They do not look happy. They have to work in like 100 degrees out in the open running these pot farms, being forced to do so. If they don't abide by these rules, they get killed. Cartel will kill them. So if you're like just like as like, let's say you're like a full on progressive and you're all about immigration and all about letting people in. Like, just think about what conditions these people have to go through.
Starting point is 01:27:46 But Sonic, they don't because this is impacting black and brown people at a record number and they're nowhere to be found. Not one progressive has even came down to the border and said, look at these conditions, look at these facilities that are overpopulated by over 500%. Like I said, some of these pods are only made for eight people. They got 400 people in there. Even NBC News is reporting that they're getting sexually assaulted. Where is that outrage?
Starting point is 01:28:11 Only when they need votes, they'll come speak up. But that's it. Yeah, otherwise it's a conspiracy. Like, look at the photos that came from the Haiti situation. Those photos were horrible to look at. Let's say you have no empathy empathy whatsoever to like like the american ideal and protecting populism and all that stuff like just empathize with these people like this whole situation at the end of the day was created by these policies and these attracted these people
Starting point is 01:28:38 and they were like all starry-eyed and let's say a little exploitive like let's take advantage of it and now they're going through this whole mess. As a super progressive person, I'm pretty sure this is not what you wanted, to see all these people go through all this mess. Yeah, I'm interested now in the 2024 race because immigration is going to become, again, a top issue. A lot of Democratic voters that I'm speaking to every day, the immigration issue is getting them to switch. They said, okay, hold on. And that's why Biden's approval rating just kept dipping. And then we were speaking to some DHA sources who they told us the Biden administration was taking such a political blowback on the Haitian migration.
Starting point is 01:29:13 They said by Friday, all the Haitian migrants need to be off the bridge and port of entry open. We're going to act like nothing ever happened. I don't think Democrats can survive politically. No, this is a huge blowback. I mean, you've got a year, basically an eternity, so we'll see what happens. But Biden's approval rating is in the gutter. The honeymoon period is over. People are starting to wake up to the fact that this guy is out of his gourd and he can't run or manage anything.
Starting point is 01:29:35 I think Joe Biden's presidency was literally a steal all the silverware before the people find out what your plan is. It's like South Park. Remember that South Park episode from – I think it was 2008? Obama and McCain run for president and the real point was a heist. They needed to get access to the White House. So it was like Ocean's Eleven or whatever. Yeah, it was like – I was like, whoa. That's what it is.
Starting point is 01:29:56 Joe Biden was like, once I become president, I can extract as much as I can from the system before it implodes. And Kamala Harris has also taken a huge hit on her popularity because she basically got assigned Borgs. Borgs, yeah. And she's been taking a hit. And according to some of these White House sources who came out and are talking, they're saying Kamala Harris doesn't want to visit the border because she doesn't even want to take the blame anymore.
Starting point is 01:30:17 And she kind of felt like they put her in that position. But she's taking a huge hit. Biden is taking a huge hit because on this one issue, you could get those Latino Democrat voters to say, hold on. This is our people now. I'm not voting for this again. So we'll see. And then all those, you know, and the data backs it up because if you look at the Texas border towns, they're all 80% majority Latino.
Starting point is 01:30:36 In 2016, all those border towns voted overwhelmingly for Clinton. I mean, they're Democrat. Then 2020, Trump won all those counties by the border. And if you're seeing those working class Latinos finally say, this is enough is enough, it's impacting our local communities. I just put up the video on Twitter where I interviewed Latino working class in Del Rio, and they were just
Starting point is 01:30:56 livid at the Haitian migration situation. I mean, I was speaking to one resident whose brother is a veteran. He said that when his brother needed to go to the hospital, they were full of migrants. They could not help him out. Next year is going to shock. I think it's fair to say.
Starting point is 01:31:11 If the trends continue with the border of Texas and with Miami, a blue district going red, I mean, Democrats might be shocked. Historically, a president doing this bad should lose 30 to 50 seats. The border wasn't even this bad under Obama. I mean, and the thing is, when we were covering the border crisis in the beginning, I kept thinking, oh, it can't get worse than this. The numbers continue to get worse. Like I said, July and August, first back-to-back months, over 200,000 apprehensions. We're already over 1 million. I think by the same rate last year, we're already at a 5% increase.
Starting point is 01:31:44 I mean, 500% increase in apprehensions. This is nothing like we've ever seen before. I speak to Border Patrol. They're overwhelmed. And now they're also not only are they overwhelmed with the situation, they're not getting any help from the administration. And then to top it off, they're now being attacked politically by that administration with these fake viral photos of them getting whipped. And what I love about that story is the photographer for that two days ago told El Paso KTSM, which is a local news station, that him and his colleagues didn't see any whipping at all. Yet the Biden administration ran with it.
Starting point is 01:32:16 Jen Psaki came out and announced that the Biden administration is going to ban horse patrol in the Del Rio sector. And those agents that day are put on leave. All lies. let's go to super chat see what the audience has to say if you haven't already smash that like button become a member at timcast.com for that member segment coming up don't forget it's not just about that one segment we got a huge library you can click that little magnifying glass symbol search for any name you want boom there's all of the crazy segments from over the past year or so since since january so definitely want to check that out all right see we got nicolai says hey tim There's all of the crazy segments from over the past year or so since January.
Starting point is 01:32:45 So definitely want to check that out. All right. So we got Nikolai says, hey, Tim, would love to see Dave Smith and Hassan on the next little debate you have on Timcast. Also, a woman at UPenn worked there for 20 years and got fired for not taking the vaccine. Dave Smith and Hassan debate would be amazing. They're both invited. There you go. There's the word. I'm pretty sure Dave would absolutely be on board. Hassan, I can respect, is a very busy guy, but I'd love to have
Starting point is 01:33:12 him. So if they're interested, we should totally do it. All right. Michael Fernando Melos has great show. Timcast crew heard of this. Augustin Carstens gm of the bis a key difference with the cbdc is central bank will have absolute control of the rules and regulations bad vibes i'm not familiar with what those things are bis is bank of international settlements which is kind of the mother central bank of all the central banks on earth not all of them but a big one in switzerland and that kind of you see the federal reserve of new york of bank of england and the bank of australia funnel their funds through the Bank of International Settlements with no oversight. Martin says, a great doctor once told me that the wisdom comes from the nurses.
Starting point is 01:33:52 They know what's up. Many doctors are glorified search engines, no actual authority. Interesting. That's interesting. Is that true? That is actually correct. So many human errors have been caught by nurses. So many lives have been saved because of it.
Starting point is 01:34:04 They catch with the doctors. They're up to date with the patients. All right. Jamie Goodberry says, is it New York City or New York? There is an unbelievable difference and upstate hates the city. That's true, but they're
Starting point is 01:34:19 in it. That's the state. What do you do? Should the city secede from the state? They'd collapse in two seconds. All right. Jonathan Galtarini says, for George, Eddie Guerrero was my first hero, LOL. Latino heat.
Starting point is 01:34:36 There you go. You always got to represent. Love it. Make 1984 Fiction Again says, Hassan has never added any substance to any subject. Him having as many followers as he does is a bigger threat than any virus.
Starting point is 01:34:48 Dave Smith tore him up today. It was heavyweight versus welterweight. Wow, was there a debate or something? I don't know. I gotta check the... On where?
Starting point is 01:34:55 Like on Twitch or something? Hassan's been saying he wants to bridge the gap politically. Oh, that's ironic. Well, that's like anyone that disagrees with him is an automatic white supremacist.
Starting point is 01:35:04 Yeah, like that's... Yo, if someone comes out and says, I have an issue about X, and then you go, ha ha, well, why? I'm like, bro, quiet. That was the same playbook of What's-His-Face. Carlos Maza ran on Twitter all the time. Carlos. Good old Carlos. Whatever happened to him? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:35:22 Dipped out. He was in the spotlight for about four months. I know. The whole Stephen Carr situation, I think it was just gone. Roberto Lara says, two things, Tim. One, the cult is afraid of the unvaxed and the anti-mandators. And two, we as humans will never be perfect. The only ones who are perfect are our pets who look up to us.
Starting point is 01:35:41 Cheers, gang. Love that. I mean, sort of. Bucko is just like pissing all over the joint. My pet is perfect. So we had to just let him go outside and let him do his cat stuff. Far from perfect. He's been much happier since we took that big jacket off of him.
Starting point is 01:35:56 He started crawling up on me now. No, he's not happier. He's happier with me. He knows that I'm the one that pushed him. He loved that thing. He loved it. It was filthy, though. It was a couple weeks that we hadn't watched it.
Starting point is 01:36:07 Ian just has this weird idea that the cat... I kept thinking he was going to slip out of a branch and get hung, like hanging out of a tree. Oh, no. No, that's graphic. Now he's wearing a bell that jingles. You can hear him coming. And he hates it. That's why he liked the armor.
Starting point is 01:36:20 We had this thick leather cat armor. He's outside or whatever. All right, let's see. all right curling up outside my room serp youtube says ian there's an interview with adam stokes called the most wanted man in crypto check it out i think you will find it interesting thank you cool bonkers says sometimes i hate legal precedent because they'll say oh there is precedent but it was unconstitutional the first time we just didn't fight it like we should have and thus is the slow erosion of our rights yep sell rinse as my college requires a test every 14 days for the vax and every four if you don't it's free at least but you can't come to class without it you also have to fill out a survey every day to get into buildings i would just be like like, nah, I ain't doing it. And then they'd be like, you're expelled.
Starting point is 01:37:05 I'd be like, okay. There you go. Camel of the Mojave says the war on terror is coming home and these people need to justify their budgets. Oh, yeah. All right. Brokages over Hokages says I've been told by my boss since I'm a private contractor I may need to get the vaccine. Since my dad is the owner, I will tell him that I quit if I'm required. Wait.
Starting point is 01:37:29 Okay. Do it. Your boss? Is he your dad? No, no, no, no. I think his boss is not his dad. His dad owns it, but he has someone he wishes. Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:37:36 That'd be awesome. Gabriel Martinez says, I bet Tim is vaccinated. Everybody ask if he is. And I will respond with, when was the last time you had sex with your wife? Oh. Classic. Yeah, I think my position is strictly, you go to your doctor, you talk about what's right for you,
Starting point is 01:37:53 it's nobody else's business. One of the biggest problems I have with the mandate is that there could be someone who's got like a weird medical issue, it's embarrassing, and then you go to the restaurant with your friends and they're like, where's your vax card?
Starting point is 01:38:04 And then you've got to be like, I'd like to publicly announce to all my friends that I have a very embarrassing condition. Right. No, it's not anybody's business. Yeah. You know? All right. Let's see. Nick S says, Tim, I know you're joking, but please stop talking about how rich you are, even in jest, becoming a little ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:38:20 You see, the point of it is not a single actual leftist rich person will come out and ever admit that they're exempt from all of this. So how do you get a regular working class person who's not paying attention to wake up? Okay, tell them straight up. Yo, if you're rich in this country, if you're rich in this world, you are 100% exempt from from everything so there's that meme that goes around if the penalty for a crime is a fine it's only illegal for the for the lower class but there are some countries that do speeding tickets by percentage of your income so that's brutal that's brutal yeah like some rich dude driving down and you know the road and he gets pulled over and he's like all right let's see that'll be a hundred thousand dollar ticket
Starting point is 01:39:02 that's bad yeah it's brutal yeah but in the u. The guy's like, oh, that's bad. Yeah, it's brutal. Yeah, but in the US, I used to live in Wrigleyville near Cubs Field, Wrigley Field. People would just park illegally blocking my driveway, like my apartment or whatever
Starting point is 01:39:16 because they were like, we don't care. It's $100. Yep, $100 ticket, cheaper than parking. So they would just say whatever. Maybe parked, like double parked to the side. Don't care.
Starting point is 01:39:27 They're not going to tow. They can't tow everybody. So people just park. It probably still do it. Yeah. All right. Eric Speed says, hello, please tell Ian that there are both vented and unvented N95 masks. Also, if Ian check out heirloom wheat like Anson Mills.
Starting point is 01:39:45 Thanks for doing what you do, Tim. All right. There you go. Thank you. T-Baz says, F yeah, that rant is worth my first super chat.
Starting point is 01:39:51 See, some people like the, you know, yelling at people because they're letting the rich get away with all this stuff. That's good.
Starting point is 01:39:58 The Plague Doctor says, we don't get the vaccine because we see it's not effective and how many people have had horrible reactions? It damaged my heart and since I can't get the booster shot, I am losing my career.
Starting point is 01:40:07 Are they mandating the booster for you? No, I haven't seen it. It's over 65 and up on the booster. Yeah, FDA didn't approve it for everyone yet. It's coming. It's coming. Be careful. We may be manifesting a dystopian future if we talk about that. It's already here.
Starting point is 01:40:23 It's already here. I don't think so the future is never here you know this is the present I think we talked about with Luke Freedomistan
Starting point is 01:40:30 did we talk about that on the show did we last week no a while ago yeah Freedomstan it means like freedom city but you know
Starting point is 01:40:37 Stan means city so I think we talked about like a member segment a year ago well not a year ago like back in February when Luke was here where we were like why don't we just get a big plot of acreage in the middle of nowhere that's really cheap and then just start building stuff on it. We're doing it.
Starting point is 01:40:51 We did it. Apparently, there are some very wealthy investors that want to get involved, and I'm like, I don't want to do that. No, we're going to have this place, and it's just big open acreage, free to understand. Freedom City, that's basically what it means. I'm going to build a solar road and show you that it works. Okay, Ian. Raise the funds for a solar road. Ian's going to be the mayor of
Starting point is 01:41:14 Friedomstan. Now, what does make sense for a solar road is shielding the road with something above it with solar panels around it, and then it prevents some weathering on the road keeps them dry so you don't got a salt and you don't got a sand and stuff like that stops wear and tear but you got to focus on the solar panels above it so you'd be basically
Starting point is 01:41:32 building a scaffold over huge swaths of road so i i read stuff about that that's interesting yeah there's one of those in asia somewhere i was looking at yeah like the whole thing is covered with solar panels it protects the road it has to But then you've got to maintain the solar panels on top. So, all right. Jillian says, Tim, you need an app for your website. I hate supporting YouTube to watch it on my mobile. Yes, we are in the process. It's not easy.
Starting point is 01:41:59 So, you know, you can only do so much work with so many people. Trek God says, you are only safe when you are free. I agree. Absolutely. Oh, I was thinking the whole point of cities is kind of safety. Since the beginning of time, humans came together fleeing from big bears, and they formed these little villages to protect themselves. You just solved one of my main questions,
Starting point is 01:42:21 which is why these big cities always turn so darn blue. And I'm willing to bet that it's because it's more important to them to have security than to have freedom. Interesting. Nailed it. When you live out in the middle of nowhere in West Virginia, we got a Facebook group and they're like, hey guys, saw a bear down
Starting point is 01:42:37 at the turn. And then people are like, got it. And they just go out with their guns. You know, you don't gotta worry about it. Or an air horn. Scare them away. Katie says, hey, Tim and crew, thanks for doing all the work you do. Even to y'all we can't see or hear. Do you guys have any advice on starting a website and your own server?
Starting point is 01:43:01 I was reading about vented face masks. So starting a website and a server for the Fediverse project we're working on. Open Network Foundation is the name of the company, the charity that we have just started. And that's how we're going to be doing it. Yeah, sure. Why not? What do you have in mind? She was asking how to do it.
Starting point is 01:43:17 How to start a server and a website? Just how do you start a server and a website? The server thing I'm not too familiar with. I mean, to start a website. Squarespace. Yeah, Squarespace. GoDaddy. I mean, to start a website. Squarespace. Yeah, Squarespace, godaddy.com, porkbun.com. But, I mean, someone else is going to be hosting it for you. So if you want to host it locally, you'll have to do it on hard drives.
Starting point is 01:43:34 Raspberry Pis, you can set up servers on Raspberry Pis at your house and do it through that. All right. Well, once we have the Fativerse project up and running where people can have their own independent websites that sync in to all this stuff, it's going to be groundbreaking. Yeah, we could build Raspberry Pis with preloaded software that we could sell. Hey, look at this. Oh, that's a good idea. Wooden says, you can walk across the George Washington Bridge from New York State to go to New Jersey State. Thank you, Tim.
Starting point is 01:43:58 Hey, there you go. There you go. Answered. All right. Damon Bullock says, Tim, my sister is a medical worker in Central North Carolina. She got her religious exemption and a lot of
Starting point is 01:44:09 her coworkers didn't. They quit principles over career. Bravo. Wow. I wonder why she got it and the others didn't.
Starting point is 01:44:16 Yeah, I'm curious. Steven Taylor says, much love from Utah. First time Super Chat going to miss the show during the elk hunt. Have fun. Well, just record it, play it back later or whatever.
Starting point is 01:44:27 TiVo it, yeah. Yeah, TiVo. Yeah. Jared D. says Ian and Alex Jones vlog adventure. Oh my gosh, did you guys see the Cast Castle episode with little Ian and Alex Jones animation at the beginning? He picked a mushroom that was
Starting point is 01:44:43 I highly recommend going and watching is that the one from the from after alex was here yeah it's clipped our voices from the show and it's in the cartoon that's cool we've got uh we have a one of the vlog episodes is behind the scenes with alex jones and it's getting like tons of views he's such an amazing man youtube.com slash cast castle and um we're we're we're ramping up the cast castle production the events. We wanted to book an event. We've been struggling to do events because there are legal restrictions on what you can
Starting point is 01:45:11 do with certain zoned properties and things like that. And so we thought we had solved it all, and then we didn't. And we're like, maybe we can do a small private friend. I'm so old, I don't remember. Not a party. A soiree? No, no. A'm so old. I don't remember. Not a party. A soiree? No, no. Shindig.
Starting point is 01:45:29 Shindig. No, there was a word for like – it's not a party. It's smaller than that. Social gathering? A dottie? I suppose. No, but like maybe like – you know, we were actually – we had some people we were booking and then just – dude, venues don't want to book.
Starting point is 01:45:44 Dinner? It's hard. You know, you got to book it way in advance and then some businesses dude, venues don't want to book. Dinner. It's hard. You know, you got to book it way in advance and then some businesses just don't care anymore. Business is too slow. They're just like, I don't care. So we're like, we'll have to build our own. We're going to build our own. Freedom is them.
Starting point is 01:45:56 Yeah. It's a ring to it. And we're going to have a big stage and we're going to do events. It's going to be epic. It's going to be really, really awesome. I'm excited for the underground, what we're going to build underground. Yeah. Six stories down with shipping containers.
Starting point is 01:46:08 Ian wants to build a catacombs. He wants to build miles upon miles of maze-like structures full of human bones. I saw a picture in the French catacombs. There's like a statue of a guy coming out of the wall in the catacombs. Yeah, I posted that. That's creepy.
Starting point is 01:46:23 So cool. So cool. Props to that guy. Nathaniel Hibbe says, my wife cares about this Gabby whatever. It's the conspiracy and family drama she likes.
Starting point is 01:46:33 This might be anecdotal. It's real house murder of Camping USA. Yeah, it's true crime. People love true crime. So weird that all crime is true because it happened. So there's a genre
Starting point is 01:46:44 called true crime. I don't get it. That's just like reality TV crime or something? I enjoy watching so weird that like all crime is true because it happened so like this whole there's a genre called true crime i don't get it that's just like reality tv crime or something i enjoy watching the interrogations like that to me is like fascinating um so i watch those like i can stay up all night just watching those so interrogation videos are great somebody was saying that guys like the interrogation and women like the drama of being a victim which was super interesting i don't know maybe yeah that's awesome we got a new show coming out um hopefully this week we're going to be having shane cashman on the show friday to talk about mysteries and true crime and paranormal so true crime what exactly does it mean it's it's unsolved is that what it
Starting point is 01:47:20 is it's like kind of like personal it's like. True crime. What you said, there's a genre called true crime because in TV, you also see your fictional crime. NCIS. So like Strongholds. Oh, so like the O.J. Simpson trial. People love Law and Order, right? So imagine you turn on a podcast and then you hear this creepy music. And then a voice goes, the year was 1953, December 1st.
Starting point is 01:47:45 A 17-year-old boy walks into a bodega in New York. Oh, I'm hooked. I'm watching this. He reaches for it for a bag of potato chips and takes it without paying. This is the story of the stolen potato chips. And then you'll hear the intro, and then there will be a woman being like, I don't know why he took the chips. Why did he take them? it's like two hours long and then they're like he spent 50 years in prison
Starting point is 01:48:10 and then you're like whoa and then it turns out he didn't actually do it it was a single the whole time but they caught the seagull and the seagull got the death penalty that's not really what true crime is. Did he send it to you? This is my jam. He sold it to you? We should maybe do a parody true crime like that. I'd love to. Unsolved Mysteries was one of my favorite shows
Starting point is 01:48:32 growing up. The seagull stole the chips the whole time. Still at large. My son went to prison because of that seagull. You get those pictures of the seagulls
Starting point is 01:48:41 like dive bombing the ice cream cones and the people like losing. What a villain. He came all the way from London. The seagulls dive-bombing the ice cream cones and the people losing. What a villain. He came all the way from London, the seagull, the annoying one. All right. Well, now that we're past that. Distraction.
Starting point is 01:48:55 Candice Scalf says, I love you, Ian. LOL. That's it. That's the chat. Nice. Thanks, Candice. Yeah. I agree.
Starting point is 01:49:01 That's a tweet. But if that was it, what's the point of the rest of that? It makes me wonder if she's being serious when she says, I love Ian. You never know. I never take it personally. The women love Ian, man. It's true. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:13 That's love. We're all humans. Humans first. The Raz Rodriguez says, I work at the Texas border with the unaccompanied alien children that are crossing. The average of children apprehended is over 400 a day. Yep. Sheesh.
Starting point is 01:49:26 Wow, man. And then are they just released? Yeah, I think I was reading numbers that it's like over 400 a day and around 570 get released into the United States every day, which according to the New York Times, one out of those three migrant children are going to get lost in the system. Wow. So compassionate. Eric Allen says, I thought that college students were supposed to be idealistic and willing
Starting point is 01:49:42 to buck the system. Maybe it just comes and goes in waves, you know? No, they rage for the system now. Yeah, yeah. That's cool now. Master Gamer says, Tim, would it be better to protest by not voting at all to show any hidden motives the Democrats would reveal? Messed up my first super chit.
Starting point is 01:49:58 Well, there's an interesting argument. I say stand up for what you believe in. Don't just give in and let them sweep through. But there's a lot of, I guess, I don't know what the right word is, how you describe these people. There's a lot of people on the right who are like, it would be better if the Democrats win a sweeping supermajority across the board, because then it would force all the Republicans in the country to snap into some kind of action and then cause some kind of divorce or civil war or whatever. Yeah, I don't know if that's true or that would happen. But a lot of people are like, you know, when Trump comes out and says,
Starting point is 01:50:23 it's rigged, what's the point? And then people are like, I don't care, I'm not going to vote. I mean, it's true, if the Democrats control literally everything, independent voters and Republicans are going to just recoil, and then there would be a huge snapback. Maybe if we're lucky, there would be a snapback. I mean, yeah, we kind of saw the emergence
Starting point is 01:50:39 of the Tea Party after Obama. We don't know if we need another one again. We'll see. Jason Cisneros says, the company next to my company's office requires all employees to be vaccinated and tested daily wow that's horrible daily daily like that ting up your nose every day hana magi says tim it wasn't just on tiktok a lot of gabby petito's friends in the north port area Oh, interesting. Anno says, I'm not entirely convinced,
Starting point is 01:51:24 but I think, you know, certainly the climate change people have said the best thing you can do for the environment is not have kids. So there's certainly that element. I think it's funny. Somebody chatted saying, like, if Tim thinks he'll get out of this unscathed, it's like, when have I ever said that? I'm like, no, it's going to get bad. That's why I'm buying beans. That's why we have emergency beans, because I'm pretty sure it's going to suck for everyone.'s why I'm buying beans. That's why we have emergency beans because I'm pretty sure it's going to suck
Starting point is 01:51:46 for everyone. But you know what? I got chickens. We have 15 chickens now. You know why? A lot of people don't understand this, but if you buy chickens
Starting point is 01:51:54 and put them in the same place for an extended period, one day they'll come out, more chickens. Just like that. It's weird, isn't it? Beautiful.
Starting point is 01:52:03 A lot of eggs, man. Do you just feed them grass and just eat a lot of eggs man do you just feed them grass and just eat a lot of eggs yeah i mean that's incredible technically you know like you can chickens just live so as long as you can protect them with enough space they will eat bugs all day and then they'll have babies but if you give them feed they'll have babies faster yeah our chickens are fat and happy oh yeah and so we have eight babies from the original we had six then we adopted another one so we had seven and then they had a bunch of babies and dorothy the adopted chicken is brooding so she's all like puffed up and wide and like with
Starting point is 01:52:36 a weird look on her face sitting on the eggs here's the problem though she's been sitting on the eggs for a few weeks and nothing's happened. And I'm like, these eggs, you know, this happens. They may be unfertilized or bad. And so what we may have to do is clear out the eggs and she probably won't stop brooding. We'll have to then take the eggs and incubate them. Then when the babies are born, pick her up, put the baby underneath her. And then she hears the peeping and goes like, whoa, and then doesn't realize we did all that. We've been raising, we raised this like these five chicks in the green room where we play music.
Starting point is 01:53:13 And one of them is singing. One of them sings. Tim, he picked it up last night and it was like going, woo, it's like a movie. A unique sound that none of the other chickens make. So one of the, so we have five black star chicks. It's a Rhode Island red rooster with a barred Plymouth rock hen. We have two girls. They're jet black.
Starting point is 01:53:29 That's what happens. The girls are black. The boys are barred, meaning they're white and black. And of the three boys, one of them has a chirp that is like I've not heard from any of the other chickens.
Starting point is 01:53:40 I'm singing. So while the babies go, beep, beep, beep, this one goes like, whoop, whoop, whoop. He's like a songbird. We're going to breed him. Yeah, so beep, beep, beep, this one goes like, whoop, whoop, whoop. He's like a songbird. We're going to breed him. Yeah, so I'm like,
Starting point is 01:53:48 that's the one we want to keep. And then what we do is, we get that when he grows up, he will fertilize all the other eggs. Selecting. And then once those eggs are born, we'll wait and listen to the ones that sing properly.
Starting point is 01:54:00 And if they don't, we just get, you know, we cull them. You know what I mean? Like, I'm kidding. We'll have an orchestra. But quite literally, that's what, so we've had people on the show who have chickens and we're like, what do you do with the roosters when they're born?
Starting point is 01:54:10 Like, you cull them. Ugh. Yeah, like at factories, they throw them in a grinder. Sucks. Oh, shoot. Because like, you can't have roosters. So we have more, we have five male, we have five males now. We have one rooster and then the babies, the cockerels.
Starting point is 01:54:21 So we could maybe keep one of them. The, Roberto's firstborn son is Roberto Jr. That's what we named him, Roberto cockerels. So we can maybe keep one of them. Roberto's firstborn son is Roberto Jr. That's what we named him. His name is Roberto Jr. And he looks like him, too. We nicknamed him Snaggle Toe because his toe is bent the wrong way. It was like a birth defect.
Starting point is 01:54:38 Yeah, it was a birth defect. But his name is Roberto Jr. And then we have the two... So there was... A girl was born from Margaret and Roberto. Then from then we have the two. So there was a girl was born from Margaret and Roberto. Then from Katarina and Roberto and then Margaret and Roberto.
Starting point is 01:54:50 That's the order they were born in. And so the second born baby was Roberto's first born son. I just bought a bunch of earplugs last night. I'm prepping for the move
Starting point is 01:54:58 of Chicken City because it's going to be basically outside of my bedroom window. Oh boy. Good luck with that. I'll let you guys know next time.
Starting point is 01:55:05 We'll let you guys know about that. All'm going to look you guys up on that. All right. Let's read. We got Gus Gus. He says, 170 employees. I work at Legacy Health in Portland, Oregon, and they just denied over 800 of us medical and religious exemptions. Thursday is last day.
Starting point is 01:55:18 Wow. That's going to be a big story. That'll be huge. Where is that again, Tim? What area? Oregon. Oregon. I'll try to read it.
Starting point is 01:55:24 Legacy Health in Portland. Okay. Yep. 800 people. Yeah, but how many are going to be like, okay, I guess I'll just get vaccinated. And then it'll end up being like 70 people fired. Maybe. Commander Trash Panda says, I'm a pharmacist at Novant.
Starting point is 01:55:38 Last year we couldn't mask, talk about COVID, or we'd be fired. Now we have to or get fired. Novant is ultra woke. Our admin brags about the leaders on vax mandates. Wow. Cody Wheeler says, everyone knows about the cartel grows in
Starting point is 01:55:54 Cali, but nobody is talking about all the cartel grows that popped up in southern Oregon. I work at a plant nursery in Klamath County, and earlier this year we had a $60,000 soil order. Oh my. Yeah, they're in Washington State. They're in Oregon. in Klamath County. And earlier this year, we had a $60,000 soil order. Hold on. Oh, my. Yeah, they're in Washington State.
Starting point is 01:56:07 They're in Oregon. Sketchy. But they're wreaking havoc in California because of that Prop 64 and that knocking down illegal cultivation from a misdemeanor to a felony. Jeez. Or felony to a misdemeanor.
Starting point is 01:56:19 Yeah, yeah, yeah. This one's opposite. Here's a good idea for you, Torre. BeefNasty says, you thought of making replicas of these bracelets to sell to spread awareness? Donate profits to stop this. Something I can physically show to family to spread the word because it might hit home stronger than just another story.
Starting point is 01:56:36 No, that's a fantastic idea. And that's why I even brought these here because I just want – it's a game changer when you see it in person. It's real. But that's a fantastic idea actually. That's a great idea. I like that, yeah. These's real. But that's a fantastic idea, actually. That's a great idea. I like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:56:45 These are dirty. There's dirt on them. Yeah. Yeah. But make replicas and then sell them for $20 and have all the proceeds go towards- So something like human trafficking organizations. No, no, no. Like to anti-human trafficking organizations.
Starting point is 01:56:59 Right, right. Oh, yeah. I don't know why you'd want to support them. You walk up to the human traffickers. We raised all this money for you. You're like, thanks. Bag of money. Yeah, I can see it.
Starting point is 01:57:14 We all pitched in to help. You know, but maybe if you give one of these smugglers a million bucks, you might quit and be like, I'm retiring. It's a money thing, right? Like they're doing it for desperation because they need money. A lot of the cartels, everything's all money, money, money. It's a money thing, right? They're doing it for desperation because they need money. A lot of the cartels, everything's all money. It's all money, money, money. A lot of money.
Starting point is 01:57:30 Hayden says, everyone should read The Storm Before the Storm, the beginning of the end of the Roman Republic by Mike Duncan. I believe the immigration in Rome was during the collapse of the empire, not the republic. The republic collapse is more in line with us. Oh, so we're going to become the empire. I like that title already. The Storm Before the Storm.
Starting point is 01:57:47 Is that what happened? The Republic Collapse and became an Empire? Yeah, the Empire. Julius Caesar invaded the capital and took over, basically. And then hundreds of years later, the Empire started to crumble and all this migration from the Huns in 500 AD or a little bit before that from the Northeast. Wow. Okay. I've got to check that one out.
Starting point is 01:58:03 I've got to get on my – I I got to start reading about that stuff. Reading? When you're not swimming with the Haitians? Yeah. Heath Hansen says, Migration crisis, huge part of the collapse of Rome. The Huns caused a huge shift of barbarians
Starting point is 01:58:14 that crossed borders in multiple waves that the empire struggled and eventually failed to manage. Interesting. Incredible. Kings and Generals YouTube channel. Look it up on them and watch fantastic documentaries about it
Starting point is 01:58:25 yeah I'm going to check it out Derek Elwell says hey Tim I finally became a member last night is there any way to watch the members clip live and if there isn't will there be an option to soon we record those they're not live broadcast the member segments we record and then upload so they're done differently I guess
Starting point is 01:58:42 we are going to be having so here's the plan the new show we're launching probably this week i think it's basically ready to go we're just setting up the accounts now to make sure everything's in line and we have the domains and stuff and then we're going to have shane cashman who's the writer for the mystery show on friday talk about just a bunch of really cool stuff true crime murder mysteries the goal the point uh the show is going to be there's like a 15 to 20 minute show with full sound effects, music.
Starting point is 01:59:08 Like I was explaining to Ian, but more seriously. So when you have Shane doing voiceover and he says, I was walking down the street at night investigating and a car drives by. Then you'll hear the actual car pan from left to right
Starting point is 01:59:18 and all that cool sound effects. And then for the members content, we're going to have Shane hanging out with one of the members of the crew and potentially other guests talking about the story and other issues around it. So there's one thing we really hope to do with Alex Jones if he's ever interested in coming back on, which would be awesome, is to have Alex sit with Shane discussing one of his stories and conspiracies. Because it would be fascinating for Shane, who is actually, he actually travels and does on the ground investigations. We're actually investigating a story about Confederate gold to then hear, you know, Alex
Starting point is 01:59:50 Jones talk about his knowledge of all these crazy stories and experiences would be fantastic. The other thing we want to do with Alex is just put Alex and Ian in a room and turn the camera on and we'll all leave. And just I'd watch that. I feel like I feel like it's like it would be like when you turn a camera on and point it at a TV, and then you get an endless recursive loop of the screen. You'll see images of Thomas Jefferson and the Illuminati and Ben Franklin swirling around. Ian and Alex talking would create a hyper time spiral as you're watching it.
Starting point is 02:00:21 Words would slowly become meaningless. They'd be shaking like crazy, and there'd be light emerging from the center of become meaningless. They'd be like shaking like crazy and there'd be light emerging from the center of the room and you'd be like, what's happening? Alex's dad was like, they wanted him to join the, basically they wanted to co-opt him
Starting point is 02:00:32 into the deep state but he wouldn't do it. So his dad's like right on the precipice. He knew, you know, he saw a lot. And Alex listened to it as a young man. I remember Alex said that. I think he said it the first time he was on the show that
Starting point is 02:00:42 they've tried to recruit him but he doesn't want to do it. And I'm like, that's one that we can't fact check. I don't know if I said that. I think he said it the first time he was on the show that they've tried to recruit him, but he doesn't want to do it. And I'm like – That's one that we can't fact check. I don't know if I believe that. That's an anecdote. I don't think there's like an Illuminati that shows up at your door and knocks and is like, would you like to join us and see the world? And Alex was like, I'm not going to do it.
Starting point is 02:00:58 And I just don't believe something like that would happen. Granted, I don't think it was that cartoonish. There may have been special interests who are like, hey, look, play ball. I do know that Vice, for instance, had phone calls from the State Department about some of the stuff they were doing. Well, of course, yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:15 But then, of course, look, Joe, I think Obama and Biden, they went to the Vice office. I don't know about Obama, but I think Biden did. And they interviewed Obama. So they were totally on board with the establishment agenda. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:01:29 There it is. Yeah, psychic energy is real. We have not had anything like that. We have no – there are a lot of billionaires apparently heavily interested in Fredomistan. Because the idea – like Luke was talking about it. We were talking about having this place where we would just be like set up a small little spot where you can live and it's like a freedom community or something and apparently there's a bunch of like wealthy investors that were like we want to be involved in that and i'm like but we don't need that kind of support you know what i mean we don't
Starting point is 02:01:54 maybe you know how about you buy the space next to where we're at and you can do your thing that'd be cool and like we'll do our thing yeah they probably got some agenda behind it too i don't necessarily think i mean maybe the agenda is freedom. But we don't need – we don't want to create that kind of community. We want to create a community of someone who's going to like build a mud hut and then live in it and be like, I enjoy this. And we'll be like, that's cool. Like someone who works really, really hard and is totally self-sustainable and like homesteading from a hut they build themselves. That's great.
Starting point is 02:02:26 What's that YouTube channel, that dude that builds? Ancient Technology or whatever. Is that what it is? Yeah, so good. Like a spoon. I've got to look it up. Yeah, builds a freaking castle. All right, let's read a couple more here.

Starting point is 02:03:18 Matthew Vance says, Navy SEAL in his dress blues was shadowing Millie today, even sitting behind him while testifying. What was in the briefcase he was carrying? Why isn't the nuke football with the president? Why is it with the JCS? Great work. That's a good question.

Starting point is 02:04:04 excited for it because, like I said, we did a deep dive. We just went full on, trying to give you guys as much footage. No local news would step up to a cartel or anything. We stepped up to them, filmed them, flew drones over them, did a full thing. We're excited, so stay tuned for that. Also, we're going to continue our border coverage.

Starting point is 02:05:02 but we're going to promote it everywhere. We'll have it out. I think it's going to be... Yeah, I think it's going to be very informative because I think a lot of people don't know about what's going on over there. Thanks for coming, man. Thanks for coming, dude.
