Timcast IRL - Timcast IRL #427 - Jan 6 Committee Accidentally DISPROVES Trump Insurrection Narrative w/Jordan Schachtel

Episode Date: December 15, 2021

Tim, Ian, Luke and Lydia join independent journalist and commentator Jordan Schachtel to break down the huge mistake the January 6th commission just made by unearthing text messages between GOP operatives on the day of the event, the leftist Twitch streamers banned for anti-white racism, skyrocketing inflation, Nike's weird foray into the Metaverse, and Elon Musk's sassy Twitter war with Elizabeth Warren.

The January 6th committee is the stupidest crackpot garbage I've ever seen in my life. These people are despicable. I view them all as unrepentantly evil scumbags, the embodiment of everything wrong with Congress and our federal government. And they have released text messages from Trump's inner circle. And I guess, I don't know what their point was, but they just basically disproved the whole insurrection narrative. They released text messages showing that high profile conservative personalities, Donald Trump Jr. himself, tons of members of

Congress were texting Mark Meadows, chief of staff at the time for Donald Trump saying, tell him to condemn this. We have to act. It's bad. Shut it down. And then Trump did speak out and condemn it. And they still got mad at him. So if the narrative is that Trump was trying to stage a conspiracy or insurrection when quite literally all the evidence is pointing to these people saying, please stop this, they've accidentally disproved their own stupid narrative, but they're still going for it. Cause now they're like, yeah, well, Laura Ingram said, is this really bad for us? And then claimed it was Antifa. And it's like, yeah, you can still claim a riot is bad for you or just bad in general. And still think there was Antifa there.

At least one of the guys who was there was apparently some Antifa-affiliated guy. But I think the narrative that Antifa was leading the charge is just not correct. That being said, their narrative is stupid. But we'll talk about that. We've got a couple other big stories too. Inflation is alarming, to say the least. The producer price index, I think it's called, is up nearly 10%. So this is like the cost of goods for wholesalers. This is the fastest growth on record. This is,

I don't know, I call it apocalyptic because what we're hearing across the, you know, over the Pacific is that this could trigger a global economic collapse. Not just this, but also the fact that consumer price index is massively high. Food prices are higher than they've been in decades. And there's no sign that it's going to get better. And then we got Elon Musk. He's currently tweeting at Senator Warren, insulting her. It's really funny, and we'll talk about that too.

Joining us today is Jordan Schachtel. How's it going, man? Do you want to introduce yourself? Yeah, hey. You can pull that mic up and straighten it out. That's good. You can move it around. You can move it around. You can move it around. It just goes everywhere.

No, Tim, thanks so much for having me on. I don't know if anyone knows there's like a mythology surrounding this place. So whenever a new guest enters, we start to talk to our buddies about what it was like. And it's definitely living up to the hype. I saw the skate park and everything. Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm an independent journalist. I run the dossier on Substack right now. I've

been doing it for about a year. It's going great. My background is in foreign policy, but I've been covering COVID mania for now the next two years or so. And there's some very interesting developments that we're going to talk about today. And I really appreciate you guys bringing me in. Cool, man. Thanks for coming. Wait until you find out about the initiation rituals that are going to happen afterwards. But that's another story. Hey, guys. I do believe it's very important

to take their own language and to use it against them. And that's why I created this shirt that says Freedom Super Spreader, which you could exclusively get on thebestpoliticalshirts.com. And because you do, I'm here. So thanks for having me. I'm excited for this conversation. What's up, everybody?

Ian Crossland over here. Happy to be here. iancrossland.net. Check it out. And I'm also here in the corner pushing buttons, which is my favorite job in the world. I'm happy to be here with Jordan, who came up from Florida, right? Yeah, South Florida. And everybody's in Florida.

In the Miami region. I'm sorry to bring you up to our swampland, but I'm glad you're here. I lived here for six years. Oh, yeah, that's right. You were near D.C. Isn't South Florida literally swampland? The Everglades. So if you go a little west, it's a giant swamp filled with terrifying gators.

That's crazy. It's massive, too. I lived right next to it. I lived in the Redlands. Okay. Yeah, for about a year. And Miami's absolutely amazing. But the weather is just apocalyptically bad.

And don't forget to like this video, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends. And now let's get into that first story. You know, when I first saw this this morning, the story about them leaking text messages, I got really angry because I am disgusted by these establishment shills, these disgusting, vile creatures of Congress. They're cannibalistic, humanoid underground dwellers who have lurched up from the underground, crawled into Congress.

And we just sit back and we're like, yeah, I guess we'll keep voting for these people. But hopefully now people are waking up and they will vote out all of these people, especially people like Liz Cheney. And the story from The Independent. Donald Trump Jr. sent desperate texts to Mark Meadows during Capitol riot, urging Trump to take action. He has to lead now. Revelation of texts come as committee votes to support contempt of Congress charge for former chief of staff. Did I say these people are absolutely vile and disgusting? Because I'll just keep saying it.

Now, that being said, the release of these texts, Donald Trump Jr. was urging Mark Meadows to get his dad to condemn the riot at the Capitol. Sounds like they did not want it to happen. Sounds like all of these people in Trump's inner circle were like, yo, stop this. And then Trump came out and issued a statement saying that it was wrong and to go home, go home peacefully. So they just effectively debunk their whole narrative. If that's the case, why should any of this continue?

Total clown show. I mean, in a moral civilization, in a moral America, Liz Cheney would be shunned from society. I see her picture on the screen there. As a foreign policy guy, I can tell you all the wars she supported, all the military armament for the military-industrial complex, for all of these special interests. Liz Cheney has the worst of the worst record, and the idea that she's playing along, it shows that there's two parties in America. There's the Uniparty represented by Liz Cheney.

She is a member in good standing. Unfortunately, most of the establishment Republicans and people in charge are also part of that Uniparty. And then you have Nancy Pelosi. And this January 6th committee is utterly, utterly ridiculous. And the fact that she's supposed to be the Republican side making it authentic, it's absurd. They're like bipartisan support for contempt of Congress or whatever.

The text messages don't really prove an insurrection. More about everyone kind of panicking, be like, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad. So it's just absurd to see them still complaining because this obviously disproves everything that they were talking about they claim that this was orchestrated this was all planned they try to take obviously through the text messages this is not true we're also learning today that a dc that the dc attorney general is going to be he's going to be suing the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers because of the January 6th attack. So to me, this is all about just the total dominance of political power in the establishment to keep it with themselves and to make sure that, of course, Trump doesn't have any political power going forward in the next election. There's also going to be local elections, and I think they're just kind of fishing for whatever they could get so they could hit the other side.

The other side isn't just as good. Again, it's all about power. It's all about authority. And they're trying to consolidate as much of it as they can. And it's absolutely authoritarian than it is investigative at all. If we're going to investigate somebody, why not get the text messages of, you know, Mr. Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell? Let's release that to the general public or the videos or the footage that the fbi is holding to themselves i would want to know that i don't care what these people were doing freaking out you know the worst i think the worst person in

in congress probably is probably mitch mcconnell and then and then um the reason i say that over like nancy pelosi or whatever it's like nancy pelosi's overt you know what is it saying the better the devil you know yep like when nancy Nancy Pelosi comes out and she's like, her teeth are falling out and she rips up Trump's speech. I'm like, I can see the disdain. I can see the vile behavior. Mitch McConnell just like sticks his head in his shell and then does nothing. But people vote for him. And then you expect to get some kind of resistance with the Democrats are doing. But he's effectively standing in the way of regular Americans as the Democrats, and do their crackpot garbage. I don't remember who said this, but they said that the Republicans are the Washington generals

to the Democrats' Harlem Globetrotters. Absolutely. And it's all faked. It's all rigged. It's all like world wrestling entertainment. I tweeted a photo today of Mitch McConnell elbow bumping Nancy Pelosi, and the caption read, if effing the poor people was a handshake, this would be it. And that's absolutely what they're doing. They're screwing over hardworking, average Americans who

are just trying to live their lives, and they're playing this theater, this show, to try to convince you that the other side is the lesser of two evils. Meanwhile, they're working together in collusion. They're two heads of the same snake, and they are a den of vipers. They are sinister, reptilian-like beings that are cold-blooded and don't give a damn about you or your friends or your family or the future of this country. They are selling this country to the highest bidder, and you are getting screwed. That's all figurative. Do you think it's the people or the positions

that turn the people into those things? I think it's a combination of both, and it also depends on the individual. For example, Henry Kissinger, I think he's a corrupt, personal, sociopathic, crazy person that just thrives off of creating policies that create human misery for the benefit of his friends. That's my personal perspective and opinion.

Other people, I believe, were entangled in the system, came into the system, and they were told, fix the system from the inside. Make it better. You could fix it just by being a part of it, but you just have to sell out on this small issue, and then this small issue, and then this small issue, and then they get them hanging out with Mr. Epstein. They get the videotapes of them, and then bada-bing, badaada boom, they got them in their pockets, a part of the larger extortion operation.

And now they're coming to them saying, hey, we need this unpopular bill passed that's going to screw over your constituency. You're going to have to pass it or we're going to release the dirt that we have on you. And that's essentially Washington, D.C. politics that we're seeing unfold right now and a part of why so many unpopular policies get passed. That's one example of it. The other is just sociopathic individuals. The most amount of sociopaths are located per capita in Washington DC for a specific reason.

What's that part of the brain where they say that sociopaths have like an underdeveloped or small one, the amygdala? Is it the amygdala? That sounds right. I'm not sure. I wonder if we could do like, is there like a CAT scan or MRI you can do on like members of Congress

to make sure and be like, hey, look at that. They're all psycho. And drug test them. I want drug tests on all members of Congress. All right. I want term limits.

I want all the restrictions they put on the general public, put on them. But who votes on that? That's the problem is that they need to vote for restrictions on themselves. Yeah, they're not going to do it.

Of course. You know, it's like this would actually be like a great sketch. It's like you get some principled politician, maybe like a Rand Paul or something. And he's like, I've got a new bill that says, you know, we're all going to have to undergo drug testing and anything we pass to the American people. And then you'll get like a bunch of politicians. That sounds really, really good. And so we're going to vote on this bill, Rand Paul. It's a bill to give us a raise.

Thanks, Rand Paul, for your time. All in favor of giving us a raise? And they all raise their hands. And then Rand is just sitting there going like, oh. Well, some people argue that they should be given a raise so they won't be tools for the multinational corporations that buy them out. I think the best example, I think George Carlin was the one advocating for this. Put advertisements on their suits for whoever endorses them and gives them money, which they have to wear everywhere they go. I think that's more of an honest perspective. It's a funny idea, but these

companies will be like, they'll have dinner with the guy and be like, look, here's a $100 plate on K Street. Hope you enjoy the steak. We need you to pass this bill because it's going to be really great for the production of our thing, our product, and then maybe half a million dollars might find its way towards your super PAC? Exactly. That's how it's done. Even easier. You can have a lobbyist go and meet with Nancy Pelosi. Somehow she ends up worth hundreds of millions of dollars on a congressional salary.

Congress is allowed to inside trade as long as there's like a little bit of room between them and their broker. I mean, the system that's set up is utterly absurd. They're abusing it. It's just it's so ridiculous. It's such a farce. They're all taking part of it. I don't know if you saw there was a news report today that all of these congressmen and senators are trading inside information on pharmaceutical companies. And they're just like kind of allowed to do it for some reason

because, again, they're the ones that make the rules. So they're never going to impose a limit on themselves unless there's like a giant national movement that says enough is enough. I got it. I got it. You know, I'm thinking about what would Ron Paul do? And he's always talking about competition. I say we create a second Congress to compete with the other Congress,

and they pass rules on each other. Maybe another country to compete with this. We need more competition in this country. But the only way that would work is if there was free movement between the other country and people could choose to live there instead, which is actually true for a lot of countries, and nobody wants to go live there. Organized competition.

You know, Americans, I mean, you can move to a lot of places, and they'll welcome you, and you don't have to do anything. You can go live there. Organized competition. You know, Americans, I mean, you can move to a lot of places and they'll welcome you and you don't got to do anything. You can just live there. I know people who just moved to Mexico and Mexico is like awesome. Yeah, great. Yeah, and there's a lot of expats all over Latin America who are taking advantage of a lot of freedoms that they're granted and also a lot of health care that usually is a lot better

and a lot cheaper than it is here in the United States, especially in major urban areas. So there is a huge movement of expats, people expatriating even to Puerto Rico because of the tax liability that they're able to get away with down in Puerto Rico rather than, of course, in the United States. So there's been a huge movement of this, and I think it's only going to be kind of exacerbated, especially with countries like Mexico saying, hey, this mandate stuff is absolute nonsense. We don't believe in punishing our population. We don't believe in locking down our population. We believe in actually doing the right thing, and I think that Mexico has really had a kind of clear-headed approach towards this madness that we're dealing with but but back to this kind of hyper politicization january 6th committee meeting this is a sign of just again the political parties at odds with each other using dirty tricks abusing authority because the democrats as we talked about

on the show before their literal stance on everything is like hey we're not donald trump that's not a stance that's not helping helping anyone. That's not doing anything. That's them complaining about somebody who's ridiculous. It's not Democrat, Republican. It's like you were saying, Jordan, uniparty versus like populist, I guess. Statist versus people who believe in freedom. And I think there's a whole bunch of statists. And I think that should be the true kind of political spectrum that we should be dealing with and talking about rather than left and right. But one of the issues, I suppose, is that the progressives are typically like the populists left in this country aligns themselves more with the Uniparty. So with the Republicans, you have, you got some crazy Republicans, you got some weirdos, but the right-wing populists

dominate the Republican Party right now. The left-wing populists are on the ground begging for scraps. And so what they do is they, Hillary Clinton for the endorsement. They beg Joe Biden. And then Joe Biden's like, I'm going to forgive student loan debt if you vote for me. And then all the leftists and all the progressives are like, yes, vote for Biden. Then Biden's like, you dumbass, I'm not forgiving anything. And now the latest news is joe biden says he's not going to forgive any like and we we try to tell these young people idealistic starry-eyed joe biden is not the man you think he is but they vote for him anyway they support the establishment they like to to defend massive multinational corporations and then act like they're the progressives i gotta tell you this the weirdest thing to me is that all of us here, I'm assuming you, Jordan, I don't know

your politics on free speech and stuff, but I think we're all to the left of Hassan Piker and Vosh when it comes to social media and big tech and corporate influences. Which brings me to that story specifically. We have this story from Timcast.com. Popular Twitch streamers Hassan Piker and V, banned from platform for racism against white people. Literally. Now, I'm actually going to, I've got some criticism for, first, I've got criticism for Hassan. Absolutely.

But I've got criticism and some defense for Vosh. Vosh, I don't think cared at all. Overtly stated he was going to say the racial slur, laughed, got banned, and laughed again. So my attitude towards Vosh is if you publicly say these companies are private companies, they can ban whoever they want, and if you use a slur, you'll get banned, and then you literally go on the channel laughing saying you're going to do it, I'm like, yeah, you're just trolling.

He knew he was going to get banned. It's not hypocritical. I just think he shouldn't be saying the racial slurs, And I think he has bad ideas on, you know, massive multinational corporations. But I'm not going to say it's hypocritical for him to be laughing about it. Now, Hassan is the guy who actually puts out videos where he says that people on the right should follow the rules and they just want to make their own right wing echo chamber and own the libs. But because they break the rules, they get banned.

Well, he literally went on his channel and said that he's allowed to say racial slurs particularly if they're against white people and now he's gotten a ban for it the important thing here is twitch bans are not bans they're like they'll reinstate you at some point so they don't call it suspension or whatever it's the weirdest thing they're like i got banned for this and then but they reinstate you tomorrow it's not really a ban yeah they're gonna be back I think, in a very short time, especially with their user base, whatever they have, saying, hey, please get these people back on these platforms. But I still don't understand why people have to describe other people

as salty, delicious snacks. I don't get it. What is that reference to? Oh, oh, oh, delicious. Luke's a big fan of Cracker Barrel. It's his favorite restaurant. I absolutely love Cracker Barrel. So anyway, I think you know what word was used.

And no, I'm pretty sure on YouTube you're allowed to say cracker and Karen and all that stuff. Because YouTube agrees with Hasan in the context. Twitch apparently doesn't, which is weird. Now, I will say, though, I don't think you can call someone a cracker. What happened was I think Hasan directly said you are an F-ing B-A, you know. There you go. In general, you want to avoid calling people names on social media. That draws the ire of admins.

Even if it's a nice word, if you use it as a name-calling tactic. But here's the craziest thing to me. When it comes to the idea of left or right in terms of the economic sense, Vosh and Hassan, and I normally don't like to talk about other internet personalities, but this is relevant towards the conversation of the commons. And these are two of the biggest commentators on the internet. Hassan, I believe, is the biggest on the left. How is it that we here at TimCast.RL are to the left of them when it comes to this

particular issue? I'm not going to pretend we're to the left of them on a bunch of issues relating to businesses, but we are to the left or at least in the lower quadrant towards libertarian. Yeah, I think when it comes to social media, this is more about authoritarianism and libertarianism, statism versus freedom, more so than it is about left versus right. Where I fall relative to Hassan and them, I don't know, but I think I'm definitely on the libertarian aspect. But this is the reason why I say we're to the left. Even Luke is to the left of them on this issue, is that what we're talking about is private corporate power taking over the commons.

Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, et cetera, have seized the spaces in which we communicate and started exerting their will to force politics in a certain direction that is not government that is not state that is private power that has built up enough of it to seize the commons now i'm pretty sure luke you're opposed to censorship on these platforms absolutely and especially the collusion that a lot of these big tech companies including amazon have with the Pentagon, have with the CIA, and how much they work hand-in-hand together, which makes them not a private entity but a quasi-state private entity that, of course, colludes together for the personal benefit of the ruling elites and creates billionaires that have way too much power, way too much control, only because of the government allowing them to have this. So I wouldn't even argue on the – Yeah, absolutely absolutely fascistic i wouldn't even argue that i'm on the left again the spectrum is either your status or you believe in freedom i believe in absolute

freedom stop stop having multinational corporations colluding with jeff bezos with amazon with with prime with twitch and all that it's just too much government interference too much uh policy directed in the benefit of them that's screwing everyone else over giving an unfair advantage to to regular competitors to an extent but gab mines rumble odyssey all these platforms exist the issue is they have monopoly power exactly well if you look at a lot of the infrastructure that Facebook, that Google, that Amazon have built. They have built it on U.S. taxpaying dollars that, of course, incentivize and worked with the intelligence agencies and a lot of other people within the Pentagon that helped them have an unfair advantage on everyone else. So when you look at the collusion that's been happening, I would argue that it is absolutely not a private enterprise. It is an enterprise that, of course, has its benefits.

And just like it hit people on the right, it's eventually going to hit people on the left because censorship, of course, knows no bounds. Eventually, it has in this instant, but they're going to get their channel back. But later down the line, I think this larger kind of censorship stick that hit the right predominantly more than the left is eventually going to wipe anyone else who has even a smidget of anti-establishment within them smidget yeah smidget like a smidget smidget that's a word right i love it smidget i'm curious as to what your stance is on uh i i radically err on the side of individualism and free markets, but I do understand how difficult it is if you're looking at Google,

which may have a 100 year monopoly on the search engine before anyone really competes with them. We're talking about an issue that could take the course of our lifetimes to correct. What kind of action do we want to see on that front?

Do we want our corrupt Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi coalition, do we want them to deal with it? Or do we want individuals to deal with it somehow? And obviously there's no perfect answer to this because we would have had a solution already. And as Tim said, you know, there's Rumble, there's all these other startup sites. Donald Trump's getting in the mix with a social media site. We'll see what happens. But I think Google, uncontested, has the biggest monopoly and they are the biggest threat. As opposed to like, you know, Facebook, maybe

who knows what kind of staying power they have. Twitter, they might self-immolate at this point with their, you know, woke CEO and the social justice warriors that run the site. But I think Google has a very serious monopoly. They not only have a monopoly on the search, but they have a monopoly over our minds, essentially, because 99-point-whatever percent of the population still uses Google. You're getting all of your results from Google. Google is like a state, as Luke said, is basically like a state enterprise at this point. And it's very much a threat to our civilization.

For the fans of Vosh and Hassan who may end up watching this or may be watching it, I'll give you a very simple explanation for the issue with control of the commons. So would you agree that conservatives don't want to use preferred pronouns? I think the answer most people, regardless of left or right, would say, well, of course, conservatives don't want to use preferred pronouns. I think the answer most people, regardless of left or right, would say, well, of course, conservatives don't want to use someone's preferred pronouns. So on Twitter, for instance, and many other platforms, they enforce the use

of these pronouns. Now, if you're on the left, you may agree with that. I'm not telling you you're not allowed to feel that way. By all means, you can have that opinion. Okay, I respect you having your right to your opinion. The issue then becomes if that is clearly and discernibly a left wing position and the right is at odds with it, the rules on Twitter directly and negatively impact the right and not the left. That is a rule on the platform. Dead naming is banned. This is overt. Now you can say, and what the left typically says is Tim's arguing in favor of transphobia or whatever. I never said that. I'm saying just understand if you know conservatives say, I don't want to use your pronouns, then the rules favor

the left. Ergo, you are in a left-wing echo chamber where big tech firms are controlling the narrative and forcing it in a certain direction. Now, of course, for many on the left, they're like, well, that's good because they're pushing my ideas. Great. By all means, feel that way. But now don't deny that the rules are absolutely set up to be a negative, to be detrimental to the right. And probably because the people who run these companies agree with you on those opinions. Well, when you've got, you know, 80 or so million people in this country who don't agree with that, then I think it's fair to say we have a very serious problem.

Now, you know, Hassan has done one of the things, one of the videos I watched from him recently was him talking about the right doesn't want to use conservative platforms because they want to own the libs. And what they don't understand, what Hassan needs to understand is it's not about owning the libs because obviously, Hassan, you do content where you own the cons. I mean, that's a common thing regardless of your political faction. It's the issue that Twitter owns the commons. They own it. Parler doesn't have nearly enough people to even talk to, to debate, to question, to engage with. The same is true for Rumble. The same is true for Minds. These are platforms, you know, good for them,

getter. I mean, it's great they exist, but people want to be in the commons. They want to walk up to their neighbor and say, I humbly disagree. And some of them want to screech. Well, we don't like it when people screech. But how are you even supposed to debate the idea of misgendering if you get banned before you can even say it? So imagine if you went to the town square and the mayor was using the police force to beat you and kick you out because you said Black Lives Matter. And that happens too. And it's wrong. The rules are absolutely slanted and that's a problem. We're also being ruled by algorithms, algorithms that can't really figure out discernment. So

whenever you say something that's on Google's no talk list, they will hit you no matter what the context. And a lot of individuals do get hit, especially smaller channels, smaller individuals with less subscribers who, of course, are trying to legitimately talk about an issue. But because of YouTube stigmatization, they can't. There's so many history channels on YouTube that got nuked, that got utterly destroyed for simply just talking about history and a perspective that is important to understand,

but you can't on YouTube because of the algorithm, because of AI deciding if you're going to have a voice in our current society. And that to me is absolutely ridiculous. And when the left was celebrating this kind of political censorship, cheering it on, I said, it's only a matter of time until they get you. I think we're reaching that kind of major bridge that it on. I said it's only a matter of time until they get you. I think we're reaching that kind of major bridge that it's affecting them, and I think it's only going to affect

them more, just like Antifa. They use Antifa. The state knows everything that Antifa does. They know all the individuals are part of their institutions. The intelligence agencies have a database of all their names. They're going to use them, but after they're done taking out the people on the right, that's the next people that are going to go after them. Let me just stress, when it comes to the January 6th committee, they just got the text messages from how many people?

Members of Congress? Mainstream media journalists. Donald Trump Jr. Journalists. They just went to the phone companies and said we'd like their private communications. And they went, you got it, boss. And then they released it to the public. Amazing.

Now, somebody chatted us. Have we ever had Michael Malice and Vosh on at the same time? That sounds like a good idea. Yeah, it does. I don't know if you guys, Vosh or Michael, you'd want to be down for something like that. But, you know, I was like, I don't want to keep just having the same people on. But that actually does sound like a fun show. Yeah.

I wonder, you know, because Michael's just like overtly anarchist. And Vosh says he's a libertarian socialist so i think there'll be a real interesting conversation there that'd be fun well you heard it here we'll we'll reach out and see what people are up to well let's talk about some um some america so that's that's where we went there and now we're just doing a hard segue right to this story from cnbc wholesale price measure rose 9.6 percent in november from a year ago the fastest pace on record. The pace was even faster than the estimate, 9.2. The core producer price index increased at a 6.9% pace, a bit slower than estimates,

but still the fastest ever in records, dating to August 2014. Of course, we also have news, I think they bring this up here, that for the consumer price index as well, it's also massively up. So basically, long story short, inflation is through the roof. The M1 money supply. So this is what I did on my main channel today. I pulled up the M1 money supply from March of 1986 when I was born until today. From the month of my birth until the 2008 crisis, the money supply just narrowly doubled from $800 billion to $1.6 trillion. From that point forward, we get to the pandemic year where the money supply, due to how they track the money, the savings accounts, they said now savings are effectively checking,

the money supply increased, I think, like five times from something like $2 trillion to like $16 trillion. That's not two times. That's like eight times. But I could be wrong. I think it was, I think, no, I'm sorry, five times. And I think it might have been three. But since then, since May of 2020, we have added, I think, something like $4 or $5 trillion

to the money supply. And now the Democrats are proposing printing another, I'm sorry, raising the debt ceiling, another 2.5 trillion. Joe Biden puts out that video where he's like, we pay our debts in America. That's why I'm raising the debt ceiling. And it's like, that's not paying your debts. That's taking out a credit card to pay off loans. Like that doesn't work. Eventually the debts come due and you default. So I'll tell you this. Very simply put, what we are seeing now with this wholesale price increase, it's like watching the initial tsunami start coming in. The water starts pouring over the seawall. The pandemic was when the water line receded and all the water went away and we're like, where did the water go?

Now all that water is rushing back faster and higher than ever. And we're seeing these signs. I have a feeling that next year is going to be apocalyptically apocalyptically bad and i wonder if we're entering like weimar germany era like back in the day during in the weimar era they were shoveling bills like in the gutter it was so worthless like venezuela levels yeah in the fiat currency era in college they tell you about keynesian keynes about modern monetary theory, all this nonsense to kind of cloud your brain. But it's as simple as what Tim discussed a second ago, is that if

you print a lot of money, the money is going to be worth less. If you print trillions of dollars, there's trillions of more dollars in circulation. And that means your purchasing power is drastically reduced. That CPI index is actually based on a basket of goods that isn't really, like there's other stuff in there that can make it way higher. And if you were to calculate it from the 80s consumer price index, it would be almost 20% at this point inflation. So that's the kind of numbers that we're talking about. And the idea that like, oh, this is America, so we're never going to see hyperinflation. That's kind of a dangerous hedge to make, especially because we've only been on fiat currency for 50 years. So it's already these hyperinflation incidents has happened, I think, in 60 countries now since then.

So the idea that it can't happen in America is a little foolish. And you even have Jack Dorsey of Twitter openly mocking the idea that it's transitory. Yeah, yep. Jack Dorsey of Twitter openly mocking the idea that it's transitory. Yeah. Yep. Jack Dorsey tweets in quotes transitory. Yeah. Take a look at this from the M1 Money Supply. So a lot of people like to point out that this major spike is a change in reporting.

And we shouldn't really talk about it, which is BS. It used to be that you could only transfer out of your savings account six times to your checking account, which meant savings were meant to be saved. Well, because of the pandemic, they said spend away away, spend whatever you want. So the money supply immediately exploded. Look at this. From $4 trillion, $4.7 trillion, up to $16.2 trillion. However, let's ignore that metric and let's talk about the current rate of growth in the United States. From May of 2020, we were at $16.2 trillion. To today, we're at $20 trillion in October. Look how much that's grown. Just about $4 trillion in close to a year and a half. Now take a look at the month I was born, March 1986, $633 billion. How long did it take for that to double it was let's see where

we go what we're trying we're trying but it's going down it's going up it's going down and there we go 2003 from 1986 2003 to go up 600 billion dollars now we're up trillions of dollars already in the span of a year and a half and look look at the percentages. So in a year and a half, it went up 25%, basically. And now go back to the date of your birth. How long did it take to get 25% up there from wherever it was? I don't know. Three, four years? It took six years.

Six years. Six years? So it took us one year now. A year and a half to go up a quarter. That was 30 years ago. But you've got to understand, too, I don't think it makes sense to go percentage-wise. It could happen in a month. I don't think it makes sense to go percentage-wise because the money supply from $16 trillion, it's happening too fast.

So it's going to be exponentially bad. The effects of the mass printing of money, the trillions of dollars in spending, we are not going to feel. We're not going to feel that immediately. It's going to take time. So what I imagine is likely going to happen is you see that chart showing inflation is a major spike where it's like up to 7%. And now the producer price index is up 10%. What are we going to hit? Max Keiser said we were at 15% inflation. They're lying. So that means what? Are they going to officially start reporting 15% by mid next year? I mean, it's going to be the apocalypse for the Democratic Party.

It might just be that one day, you know, 10 years down the line, we'll wake up and just realize that our purchasing power is basically worthless under the dollar. I think that a lot of people have this image in their heads of one day we're just going to be Weimar, Germany, and we're going to be shoveling stuff in wheelbarrows. And maybe that day will come. But inflation kind of like seems to be creeping up on us. You know, if it's 10% compounding, 10%, 10%, 10%, then your purchasing power has been significantly reduced over five years. And I think that's the thing that a lot of people don't see coming is this creeping inflation. You do see the prices rising, but the prices will continue to rise.

Your purchasing power will go slowly, slowly deteriorating. And that's, I think, of COVID, I said, hey, the major factor here that's really going to hurt people is going to be financial. Keep an eye on the financial markets. It's absolutely crazy what's happening right now. The US national debt has just crossed over $29 trillion. And I believe Tucker Carlson had a very good talking point just a few days ago. He said, young people don't have any possibility to have any economic opportunity, no opportunity for any kind of mobility financially. And that's why people are going over to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. And I think we are seeing a transition for a lot of people not trusting the financial markets, because how can you? They're not playing by any rules. They're not playing by the math rules that are designed to that specific understanding

of how things work. They're creating their own rules. They're just pressing zero on a computer and giving it to their friends. Meanwhile, those zeros are having a real life impact for everyone's purchases. Every time you go to the supermarket, you see it, you feel it. And the average person is having a harder and harder time making ends meet and it's only going to get worse from here from my perspective the difference between what we have and what weimar germany had is it they were burning dollars or deutschmarks i think it was in wheelbarrows we don't even have paper anymore it's all digital so like if our currency goes belly up we don't even have paper to burn or cotton to burn. At least they had toilet paper. At least the Venezuelans

dry off. Well, if you're cold outside and you've got blankets of carbon fuel of some sort, you can keep yourself warm. We just got a number on a screen that doesn't do anything for us. I think that this suppressing suppression, this economic suppression

is driving people to extremism in so many ways. One of it is cryptocurrency. It's an extreme evolution of currency. The other is Antifa, this extreme street violence, people feeling disincentivized or whatever. Disenfranchised is the right word. And they're lashing out in different ways. Some people are intelligently evolving the economy.

Some people are just smashing stuff up. It seems like it's all relative. I really think we've reached a point where this kind of financial calamity, this kind of destruction of our economic system is almost done deliberately. Because if you look at every action the government is taking, it's making it that much worse

on everyone else. How else could you explain, given the military industrial complex, the $20 billion bonus when they didn't even ask for it? How can you explain just the reckless spending? How could you explain giving the military industrial complex a $20 billion bonus when they didn't even ask for it? How can you explain just the reckless spending? How can you explain the Build Back Better bill? How can you explain raising taxes on everyone else? It's just absolutely absurd to see people's savings, people's hard-earned money that they worked their entire lives for literally be eviscerated right in front of them.

It's crazy. But here's the good news. So Tucker Carlson talked about how people, millennials, even Gen X, Gen Z, whatever the new generation is, that they're investing in Bitcoin because there's no ability to save. Investing is very difficult to trade and stay up to par with inflation. But the good news about Bitcoin is that it is a clearly superior currency, in my opinion. The fact that Bitcoin has been discovered

gives people that exit route. So you don't need to be beholden to a $2.5 trillion debt ceiling increase. You can save in Bitcoin, and Bitcoin is a finite asset. It's free market money, the most sound money ever invented. I think its properties are completely superior to gold in every sense. You can debate gold versus Bitcoin, and Bitcoin

beats it in every single way. So I think to add to Tucker's statement about people aren't just, yes, people are desperate to find a way to hold onto their hard-earned wealth, but Bitcoin also provides them an exit and an actual superior currency to the US dollar itself. So to me, that's the optimistic message, is that Bitcoin can be a protective off-ramp to the chaos that's being caused by these politicians and bureaucrats in Washington, DC who don't have any of our interests. So let's jump to this story real quick from The Verge. Nike just bought a virtual shoe company that makes NFTs and sneakers for the metaverse. Now, why do I bring up metaverse in this context?

We're talking about finance and inflation and prices. My friends, hear me now. The metaverse is going to happen. Maybe not Mark Zuckerberg's, but there will be a metaverse. And it's already happening. Apparently, a couple just got married in the metaverse. Cryptocurrency will likely be the currency and tracking mechanism by which you own, to whatever extent you can own a digital piece of property. Now, when they say you'll own nothing and you'll be happy in that World Economic Forum video or that article, they're talking about physical objects. But I genuinely believe the singularity will happen. I believe that Bitcoin is going to be a currency

for this new digital world. NFTs are going to be how you own unique objects in this new virtual reality. And this is where everyone is being pushed towards. With the collapse of the US economy and the crisis we're seeing, more and more people are being told, why don't you get cryptocurrencies? I mean, we advocate for the stuff. We don't tell you any advice, but we love, you know, I'm a big advocate for it. But let's be real. A universal, a global, digital, trackable monetary system. There's a lot of things bad about that idea. You'll be able to see who has how much money, publicly see how much money a person has, when they spend it, and where it goes. Now, of course, there is what Zcash and Monero, I believe, make it much, much more difficult.

So other cryptos will emerge. But here's what I see with all of this. You're not going to get Mark Zuckerberg nuking other companies and stealing a name if he wasn't dead set on doing it. You wouldn't see Nike buying a company that makes virtual shoes. You wouldn't see this big push. While we're all discussing and debating things like January 6th and Antifa and street violence, I think the real push from the elites, what they really want is to get everybody in some kind of metaverse, some kind of digital internet-based reality where they're more easily controlled, where they're less likely to produce – I'm sorry, pollute or fight. There will be less conflict.

Conflict will be digital, and it's going to be like that episode of Black Mirror. It's the inner universe we're heading towards, and this, I think, shows it's happening. So I've been talking about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for a very long time. And I remember interviewing Max Keiser back in the early 2010s when Bitcoin was first hitting the world stage. And I was like in London and I was talking to Max, I was walking with him. I was like, how do we know that Bitcoin isn't the one world global government currency that they've been waiting to push onto everyone where they could track, trace and database everyone on a public ledger and know everything that everyone is doing. And I forgot Max Keiser's response. I got to watch my old videos in order to see that. But

whether it's Bitcoin or another government coin, we know Russia is working on their own kind of cryptocurrency. So is Venezuela, where, of course, there'll be less protections for personal freedoms and liberties. Right now, if you have a Bitcoin address, it's as private as much as anyone else who knows about it. So if no one knows that I have a Bitcoin address, there could be money coming in and out. No one would know it unless I publicly tell someone I have a Bitcoin. So it might be Bitcoin, it might be another currency, but there are other people using this technology to push privacy coins, push for people to have total anonymity online, total freedom, total privacy. And it's a double-edged sword. I think cryptocurrencies, it's the new internet. And I think just like it could be used for something really bad and really evil and total government control, I think it

could also be used for something that could free people, liberate people, and give government control, I think it could also be used for something that could free people, liberate people, and give them privacy, which is absolutely essential in our modern-day society. I think it's great. I think Bitcoin's fantastic. But I do think it's going to be an excellent tool. Cryptocurrency is the blockchain in the upcoming metaverse, the digital world. So whether intentional or not, it's happening. Let's pull up this story real quick, and we'll add to the conversation. Florida couple holds virtual wedding in the metaverse while simultaneously getting married in real life, complete with avatars that mimic their exact moves for their online guests. It's not that crazy an idea. I think people look at this and they don't understand the context.

There's a lot of people who couldn't travel to be at the wedding. So they did a virtual version so you can put on your Oculus or whatever and watch it happen. I don't think virtual reality in the metaverse is all bad. I just think that there are creepy elites who want to take away your possessions and your ability to work and make money and stick you in a box where you have no kids and then you rot and suffer. And there's a lot of really bad things about the elites want. Technology is not all bad, though. However, I do think we are advancing in a creepy direction. And this may actually just be a fad.

I do believe we are more likely to be heading into a metaverse singularity type of reality where we're brain chipped by Elon Musk in the next year. That's what he's saying. He's saying next year, the chips are going to be available to put in people and do all this stuff. And I do think there's going to be a big push for this. But we also heard what 12 years ago or 14 years ago, that Verichip, people are going to be getting chips implanted in their hands. And that never really took off. Now we did see in Sweden, people are getting the chip chips implanted in their skin under their skin that contains their COVID information. And they walk up to doors and

they can see it. But that's the same thing we saw 14 years ago. It just did not happen. People were not interested in it. Now, is that going to be the same thing with the metaverse? That it's this big fad, Mark Zuckerberg dumps all this money and effort into it, and then everyone says, yo, we don't want to do your stupid virtual reality thing, or are we forced into it? But I would just quickly say that we don't have a microchip in our hand, but we have

a phone in our hands almost everywhere we go. And some people say that the microchip was replaced by the phone, which essentially almost acts like the same thing. Another thing I would just want to quickly add before going to you, Ian, is that the metaverse is an excuse to put people into the smart grids in major cities and into the social credit scores. That's how I see it from a lot of the elitist perspectives on what they want to achieve with it. Sorry, Ian. Go ahead. Oh, the difference, I think, between – what were we talking about? Chipping your hand?

Yeah, is that the body – people don't like inserting things inside themselves if they can help it. That's not true, Ian. Well, they don't – I don't. Most people would opt to put on the hat instead of inject the needle into their temple. I know what you meant. I was just making an adult joke. Oh, Tim. I'm going to have to review this.

I didn't know when to go there. I had a comment lined up, and I was like, okay. Whereas the body can reject things that you insert into it, whereas the metaverse is just more of like a spiritual technological evolution. Bro, have you guys played with the Oculus a little bit? Not yet. There's a game called like pirate space robot or something pirate trainer it's so good dude it's so good man i it's it's

crazy so that was holding the oculus or or the vr back for a while right was that the technology wasn't that good and now it's good you're saying it's been good for a few years yeah so one of the one that's big it's it's it's yeah it's wireless it uses like ir tracking and so uh to ian's point yeah i think you're correct in that regard there's um did you know that you can give yourself an additional sense yeah now it's not people say there's five senses or whatever that's not true humans have way more than five senses like people don't count a sense of balance sense temperature. But you can actually take neodymium magnets and implant them under your fingertips and then give yourself electroperception or electro sense. So what happens is the magnets will be in your finger. And I personally know people who have done this. And when you move your hand past a power cable

in a wall, for instance, let's say there's a wall and you're trying to find out where the cable is. If you have an embedded neodymium magnet in your finger, you can feel the electric fields in your fingertips, giving yourself electro sense by doing this. The problem is the body rejects the magnet. After a certain amount of time, it breaks and your body pushes it out through your skin and it falls out.

I heard a lot of stories about dogs that were microchipped getting infections and diseases and cancers near wherever they had the microchip injected. Those are some of the stories that I saw on the internet even just a few years ago. So it wouldn't surprise me if they transitioned from, you know, let's inject it to let's just have it everywhere they go, including when they go poop. Then how is Elon Musk going to implant the computer chips? Did they figure this out? Have you seen the Neuralink stuff?

Well, the monkey had to go to surgery. Very thin copper wires that make contact. So maybe that is too small to get rejected. Maybe it just sits, you know. They thread them into, like, the outer layer of the brain. They, like, carve out, like, a quarter-sized hole in the skull, and then they thread, like, I don't know, a thousand tiny little fibers into the top layer of the brain, and then that gives the impulses.

Ideally, they're going to evolve it so that they don't have to cut the skull open or insert anything. Some people are saying they're going to do it like teeth implants. That's another possibility. But some people even reject tooth implants. Some people can't have them because their body just says, no, I don't want it. And those will be the deplorables.

Yeah. All the people are going to be, you know, synced up in society and they're going to be part of the network. They're going to be like the Borg and there's going to be people who are like outside begging for scraps because they're not going to be able to work.

I cannot bring myself to drill a hole in my head for this is that what it says that that looks like a hole it's not a quarter size maybe like a dime or smaller now if i was paralyzed and this could help me walk or if i was blind and it could help me see it's another we should look up the monkey because because elon musk did this to the monkey that was using his brain chip to play a video game with the monkey's own mind. Would you take the chip? Again, I guess if Ian was saying like, if the calculation had changed, if I was, if I happened to be paralyzed or had some horrible disability that could be fixed with Neuralink, I think I would be very much willing to give it a shot. I mean, what do you have to lose if you're confined to a wheelchair? And this company says that, hey, we might be able to make you walk.

But that's the PR public excuse they're going to use for total domination and attract trace and database society, where they're the tech overlords of our existence and we're the peon slaves. So on that note, I do have to say that as someone who requires kind of expensive medicine, I don't hate big pharma as much as some people. And as someone who may ultimately end up requiring something that'll keep me from being in a wheelchair, I have to say this stuff is kind of exciting. I'm not going to probably voluntarily sign up for Neuralink. But when they were researching some of these mRNA vaccines,

they found some interesting new treatments for whatever it is that I have. And I was like, that's really neat. So you never know where there's going to be an advance. And I was going to say, one of the things that I'm sure they're probably thinking about right now is how your body is going to respond to keeping this inside your body. Because you can't even transplant an organ without requiring anti-rejection medicine for the rest of your life. Because your body does not want any foreign objects in it at all. Like your body rejects tattoo ink. Your body rejects everything.

Maybe this is why they're working so hard towards artificial intelligence. Because the human mind is not programmed. It is developed over a period of time and it self-generates. There's like a base code when a human is born. And over time, the neurons connect. And each individual's like a base code when a human is born and over time the neurons connect and each individual's brain function is unique, like a brain print almost. So how do you interface

with a brain that is unique to itself, self-grown? When we make a computer, we take the schematic for the computer, we replicate it a billion times, there's our computer. We know how they work, they have interchangeable parts. But each individual human is not the same. Some people use a slightly different part of the brain it grew in a different position artificial intelligence may be able to rapidly map out the key areas of the brain so it

can interface very very quickly yeah it also looks like that monkey went through surgery like they opened up his skull and implement implemented a chip in there because you don't see any wires on the outside you see a bald spot on the back of the monkey's head. So it looks like this. And it showed the surgery. It showed the implant being injected after a cut of the monkey's head. So check this out. Check this out.

In the beginning, you can see the monkey's using a joystick. And then I guess later on, they get rid of the joystick. Now it's just controlling it with his brain. Oh, that's crazy. What is he? Is he blowing on something or sucking on something i think it's giving him food or something okay no i i don't know maybe we should just watch it and they'll tell us what he's doing and then elon musk is looking at human trials in 2022 so next year he's looking at human beings being these monkeys literally uh testing out the brain chips here's what here's what i want to know

you're gonna be able to type with your thoughts yep you're just gonna think a sentence and it's gonna be on the page that's right but let me let me let me ask everybody especially for you uh for you guys who are uh watching the show because i don't there's a lot of people who i think are absolutely craving and desiring this begging for it and it's probably a lot of people who won't admit it because that's what i was saying to uh when we had jack murphy on the show i was like imagine and desiring this, begging for it. And it's probably a lot of people who won't admit it. Because this is what I was saying to, when we had Jack Murphy on the show, I was like, imagine you get up,

you walk over to your treadmill, you throw the towel over your neck, you turn on your Neuralink, and then all of a sudden you're at Old Country Buffet. And while you are virtually consuming massive quantities of food and cakes and steaks, filet mignon, all the steak you can eat. You're sitting there eating and then you get full and you're like, that was awesome. Take off the Neuralink and you're running on the treadmill and you stop and you've been running for an hour.

You're all sweaty and fit and you weren't even in that, you know, you weren't doing the chore of the exercise. Now, I think it's fair to point a lot of people like exercise, but some people don't. And so Jack was like, oh, man, you're making it tempting or whatever. There's a lot of people. And beyond that, too. What if you could take, you know, you've got the brain chip, and then you could take a little chip that was like, you know, Elder Scrolls 13, put it on your brain, turn it, boom, you're in Elder Scrolls.

You're fighting dragons. You're throwing fireballs. They're going to need to make Elder Scrolls 15 cream that I can just rub on my third eye and then I'll install the game for me. You snort it. Yeah, I don't want to insert anything. But also, sacrifice and pain builds character and builds an appreciation for something. just given something i mean obviously the average human being is going to like it for a little bit but then become kind of apathetic to it and not be happy not be satisfied because they never truly worked for something that's their own it was just given to them in this kind of metaverse and i think this is going to create a society of very unhappy people and i don't think it's going to

work have you guys ever seen the commercial for playstation 9 no do you guys want to see it let me play this video for you guys ever seen the commercial for playstation 9 no do you guys want to see it let me play this video for you guys new for 2078 that's a smart dust playstation 9's new electronics force taps straight into your adrenal gland yep that is legit ps9 has improved retinal scanning a mind control system holographic movie surround vision and telepathic personal music music the ultimate just got better playstation 9 teleport yours today why did they think that it was gonna take five decades six decades to get to playstation 9 i have no idea yeah it's creepy though isn't it dude you're gonna be able to do that but you're gonna have like 80 80 games going on at once in

your brain people are gonna evolve to multitask to have be able to think about different things at the same time and you're gonna this is gonna help train us to do that in this day and age you can't even tell if that's parody or not like if you told me oh this is an official sony commercial jordan i totally believe you i have no idea what that is but it's separating these like parody skits from actual reality everything is becoming so dystopian nowadays we're just like living in a weird black mirror episode when mark zuckerberg shows up and says oh you're all gonna enter the metaverse with me. And we're like, what is actually going on? People will do it.

I think most people are going to do it. I think, you know, we are more likely to be the outliers. Steve Bannon talks about it. But Steve Bannon's on the older side. You tell a young kid they're going to be able to actually go into The Witcher and live in that world. You're going to tell them your favorite TV shows. You're not just going to watch the TV show. You're going to be in the room as all of that stuff is happening.

You're not just going to watch Game of Thrones. Okay, bad example. Game of Thrones. I'm going to suck it. But what's a new hot show? Hellbound. Or Squid Game. You're not just going to be watching Squid Game.

You're going to be in the games running around as this stuff is going on. And get this. is going on. And, get this, you could actually, they could make shows where you can sit and watch it happen, or you could stop things and then choose to interact with the characters. What if we're in the VR right now? What if we're in the metaverse as we're speaking right now? Then we're not doing it

very well. Let's level up and beat this main quest. I just do side quests first. We're still doing side quests. Side quests? Oh, I was going to say something. Speaking of the simulation, isn't that new Matrix movie coming out in a few days?

It sounds so dumb. They're going to destroy that trilogy. They're going to destroy all the hardcore messaging of freedom and liberty and against the system. They're going to make it the hardcore messaging of freedom and liberty and against the system. They're going to make it just, I think, a total pro-establishment, pro-propaganda of our modern-day blue-haired person. That's not very – There's literally – one of the main characters is like a blue-haired, non-binary person.

I remember when I was going to say these kids, you're going to get like a 10-year-old being like, okay, mom, I'm going to the metaverse and puts on their helmet goes into their digital shop where they're selling their nfts and all these they're like this really well-known salesman in the verse and then all these people come out and they're buying all this stuff and the kid comes out an hour later and pays for his parents food and and like you're gonna have the we might see a society where the kids are paying for the adults via their digital presence in the verse. The Matrix got it wrong. In the Matrix, they're like humans were forced to be batteries for the machines. It should have actually been humans chose to be batteries for the machines because they got – it's like the Cypher character in the first Matrix.

He's like eating steak and he's like, I want to be back in the Matrix. But I'll tell you one thing that's going to get crazy too. A lot of what we're seeing about identity issues where people want to be animals, where people want to be dragons or demon dolls or whatever. I mean, legit, we talked about the demon doll woman. She identifies as a demon doll, whatever that is. Yeah, they're going to go in the metaverse and they're going to be that. So when that little kid goes into his metaverse to sell his NFTs, he's going to be like a giant duck. And then someone's going to walk in and be like,

Duckman, what up? Let me get some of those NFTs. I'll take that one and that one. All those shoes are sick. I'm going to put them on my avatar right now. And then he blinks and then... Give me a quack. Give me a quack. And then the little kid who's the duck goes... And then the kid comes out. He leaves the metaverse and he walks into the bathroom. He looks in the mirror and just goes...

And then he puts the metaverse back on and he's the duck again so who's keeping the lights on while we're on the metaverse it's going to be done via smart contract the government the government's going to be taking care of everyone everyone's going to be on the on not only just the social credit score but what was andrew yang talking about uh about? A penance that the government's going to be giving you just to live? What did he call it? The UBI. The propaganda was freedom dividend.

How more absurd and backwards could you get? Who is going to be running this thing? Is it going to be the corporation? The corporation. Sounds like an 80s sci-fi movie. The government working with the corporations hand-in-hand in tandem with the intelligence agencies calling the shots, just like they do now. In the same way that they do now.

On their own unique metaverse, like their own private one that isn't tracked or something, and then they're all overseeing it. And they're going to be GMs. They're going to be moderators. They're going to be admins. You're going to be in the metaverse, and you're going to be like hey you guys want to come with me to you know duck store to see the new duck nfts and you're gonna be walking and then mark zuckerberg to me walking by and you're gonna go oh hey look it's zuckerberg and then he's just gonna turn his head like a robot it's gonna go and then he's gonna you know have just powers in the metaverse he's gonna delete your your

avatar and you're gonna snap out and be like no i can't be people will work their whole lives to become admins like i just want to be a gm i just want to be a gm and then they finally get it they're 35 and they realize it's not how it's cracked up to be the hours are long imagine being a moderator in the metaverse like someone's walking around in like a big open space yelling about flat earth or whatever and then a moderator shows up and says you know like you're being banned and then snap the person's gone robocop imagine imagine if in reality people had these kinds of powers that you could be standing in the middle of public square holding up a sign saying you know you know the end is nigh or end the fed or something and then a cop walks up and says disturbing the peace snap and then you just don't exist anymore yeah you could have a metaverse

where like one guy you're there doing something. Another guy comes up and is like, stop, and wants to destroy you in the metaverse. And he destroys you. But from your perspective, he explodes. And so you both win in your own experience of the reality. I don't see that as being possible if there's a centralized server. But I do think this is a really good argument for why there needs to be, if there is a metaverse, it has to be decentralized. And this would actually be a really cool thing if there was like one big centralized metaverse

server and they've got moderators guarding the door and they're like, you can't come in, but you could go to any other server. People could host their own private servers. There'd be crazy servers. That'd be kind of crazy. I think the problem is all of this is predicated upon whether or not you're going to have a hole drilled into your head And a microchip implanted in your brain

Which you will And you'll be living under the UBI And the social credit score And there'll be smart dust flying around everywhere Making sure you're compliant with it Or else it'll be injected into your body And then have the turn off switch Have you heard about the smart dust?

We've talked about it a little bit That's what the PlayStation 9 commercial was all about. They released the nanoparticles. It's been around for a while. SmartDust is a system of many tiny microelectromechanical systems, MEMS, such as sensors, robots, or devices that can detect, for example, light, temperature, vibration, magnetism, chemicals. They're usually operated on a computer network wirelessly,

distributed over area-to-form tasks, blah, blah, blah. They're a few millimeters. They may be vulnerable to electromagnetic disablement, blah, blah, blah. You get the point. When you say smart dust, a lot of people think it's tiny and you can't see it. It's like nanotech. For the most part, they're not saying that right now. They're saying it's very, very small sensors and computers that can be used for tracking, manipulating things.

Yeah, but the technology that's being developed along with the metaverse i think goes hand in hand with again what i said before the smart grid the social credit score and i think it's going to be crucially implemented in a lot of the control grid systems that are already being put into place that are being developed so well let me let me we'll start here we'll start here um Based on what Elon Musk is saying to Elizabeth Warren, he's earned my trust. Oh, my. I don't know. I don't know if I would take the computer implant from Elon Musk, but the story is still pretty funny. Elon Musk feuds with Elizabeth Warren over billionaire taxes.

Senator Karen. All right. Billionaire Elon Musk fired back at comments from Senator Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday, telling her to stop projecting and calling her Senator Karen. I'll just show you exactly what happened. Here's on Twitter. Elizabeth Warren says she posts the Boston Globe. Elon Musk named Times Person of the Year. She said, let's change the rigged tax code.

So the person of the year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading of everyone else. Elon Musk said, among other things, and if you opened your eyes for two seconds, you would realize i will pay more taxes than any american in history this year and elon is correct the the establishment left with like faux progressives like warren are able to convince these progressives to to believe this stuff just by saying it's the craziest thing to me that they go did you know elon musk elon musk and amazon paid no taxes and i like, that's insanely not true. There's like, it is objectively false.

It makes no sense on its face. Why would you believe that? Because they said it. Elizabeth Warren says it, and it gets repeated. It's just not the case. Yeah, what's the story with that? When they say Apple paid no corporate taxes this year, is that because their costs outweighed,

their expenditures outweighed their... It's usually a manipulation because one thing you always have to pay taxes on would be like employment tax, property tax. You've got local taxes, state taxes. Now, federally or even at the state level, they might say, you know, we invested X, we worked out a deal with the city for a tax incentive to put money somewhere. And so quite literally what could happen is the city goes to Apple and says, tell you what, if you spend, you know, $500 million building a factory here with X amount of jobs, then we'll consider that investment for tax purposes and, you know, give you a tax benefit of X. And then it's like, okay. So the government cuts a deal in exchange for an economic incentive with the company. And then the left comes out and says, but they're not paying taxes. It's like, but they're doing what the government asked them to do. So imagine if they came out and said, no government, I won't do anything you say. And

the government would then be like, okay, pay taxes. And they'd be like, okay. And not only that, whenever they say this, they always use weasel words to make it seem like elon musk pays no taxes elon musk i i believe is correct when he says he pays more taxes than any american in history because he's gonna like he's selling off all his property that's huge that's gonna dramatically reduce his tax bill but his tax bill was probably insanely huge just off of owning things and so basically this is all about the stupid wealth tax which makes no sense where they they're like, we're going to tax people for cash on things that aren't liquid, which is the dumbest idea ever. Like you could have this gorilla right here. And then one day someone's like, that's a rare gorilla with a million dollars.

And then all of a sudden I'm supposed to pay a million dollars because I have a plastic gorilla sitting on my desk. That makes no sense. Yeah. The 0.0001% Native American Senator Karen also really hates cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin and has called for a lot of regulation, a lot of government intervention, and an extremely high tax rate for people using cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin. So there's a big divide between Elizabeth Warren

and, of course, Elon Musk. And Elon Musk has been on a tear lately. He's been making a lot of bold, big statements, specifically saying that he doesn't want to build back Better Bill. He thinks that bill should be absolutely shunned away. He thinks that the United States government is just a major corporation that has a monopoly of violence. He's been speaking out against a lot of core issues,

including vax mandates, saying that absolutely there shouldn't be any Vax mandates. And it's really interesting to see his talking points. And I think, you know, a lot of times people are changed politically, especially when they look at the taxes that they have to pay out of their paycheck. So I think, you know, most definitely Elon Musk saw that the taxes he had to pay and that kind of changed him politically, being like, this is pissing me off. I'm going to voice my opinion since I'm giving so much money to these people. And these multinational corporations, it's very interesting when you do research into them. These bills, these tax-increased bills, potential tax-increased bills, are going to screw over small businesses, mid-sized businesses, because multinational corporations, I mean, I've been covering Pfizer for quite some time now, they can offshore their profits and build a headquarters in Ireland and say, you know, we made $50 billion in Ireland. We're not paying,

we're paying 2% in taxes this year because all of our profits are in Ireland. If you're a mom and pop shop that generates like a gross revenue of a million dollars, there is no way you're going to be able to offshore any of your profits. So these bills, Senator Warren is a total fraud. If you notice that when she talks about, oh, we're going to go after Wall Street, she never names a firm on Wall Street that she's going to go after because she's in their pocket. And for some reason, it's interesting with Elon Musk, he's kind of becoming base now and he's on the really bad side of the Biden administration to the point where they had a big electric vehicle meeting at the White House and how to craft that bill, and they did not invite Tesla. That's like not inviting Sony to the future of video games conference.

It's just very bizarre. I want to explain something to people about taxes that a lot of these progressives don't understand. Do you think that Bezos cares about his tax rate? He does not. He's probably like, I got too much money, man. I don't even know. I don't even know. When he gets his paycheck, because Bezos gets $81,000 a year, sorry, it's his salary. And then he gets incentives, which ultimately, like bonuses, he ultimately comes out to about $1.6 million. He probably looks at it and goes, oh, because how much money do you really need to get by? So Bezos has his stock.

He has his assets. He has tons of money. But at the end of the day, he gets his paycheck and he probably says, I don't even look at it. He probably just ignores it outright because it's meaningless. Now, a poor person. I remember it was like my third job. I was working for an airline out of O'Hare

airport and I'd worked 40 hours at 10 bucks an hour. And so I was like, all right, so it's going to be what it's going to, it's like, that's 400 bucks. And then I got to pay taxes. So I imagine maybe I'll end up with, you know, 300 to 350. We'll see what happens. And my paycheck was like two, two 70 something. And then I got my paycheck and I looked at it and I just was like, I just was like, what the, and then all the older guys were there started laughing and they were like, he saw the taxes, didn't he? And then I was like, dude, I'm poor. I can't afford to live like working 40 hours at 10 bucks an hour. And then being told that almost half of the money I'm making was like 28% or whatever, is taken from me. I needed those hours.

I needed that money. I couldn't afford rent. I couldn't afford my car. I couldn't afford health care. But when you're rich and they go, we're going to take – you've got – your salary is $10 million. We're taking half. You go, I don't know. So what's my paycheck this month?

$488,000, whatever. Deposit it. I'm sitting on assets. I don't care. I don't even notice. So these tax increases are negligible to a lot of these people. Well, a lot of the super rich have called for more tax increases because it makes sure that they stay on top and their competition doesn't have an opportunity to have enough income to be able to compete with them. So these people want higher taxes because it actually benefits them.

They want more regulations. They want a higher minimum wage because at the end of the day, it's destroying small mom and pop businesses while, of course, it's benefiting them greatly. And they have other ways. They have so many different incentives, whether it's setting up offshore corporations and then selling off the intellectual property towards a domestic company here in the United States. There's so many different rules. There's a reason the tax code is as big as it is because there's a lot of exemptions for a lot of powerful people that helped write it that works in their favor

that obviously screws everyone else who would be competition to those people. Exactly. This Build Back Better bill that they're promoting in Congress and that Joe Biden's all about and all those people are all about, this was crafted by the lobbyists for the giant corporations.

It's by and for these giant corporations. It is not to help our economic engine. As Luke said, it's to seal off the competition from these oligarchs. That's the entire purpose of it. It's this state corporate enterprise. They want to phase out all types of possible competition. Yeah. I was just thinking about taxes, man.

I'm just like – I'm going through the numbers, and it's interesting that I'm imagining back when I was younger and trying to calculate budget. How many hours this week do I have to work to get by? And how taxes really brutalize you when you're making just enough to be above poverty or whatever. They take taxes out anyway. And it's like if you got to pay $500 a month in rent and you can only work 40 hours a week, like you're going to be struggling to make ends meet. If you've got rent, food, health insurance, whatever, you want the bare minimum, then any amount of taxes taken out is gutting you.

Dude, to be told that you're going to lose 230, effectively like 23 hours of the work you did that week or 20 hours of the work you did that week, it's like, why even do it? If you're working that much to have it taken away from you? Maybe it's unfair to say that much. Maybe it's like 13 hours or whatever. The point is, for people who are extremely well off, you could tell an ultra-rich person we're taking 90% and they'd be like, I don't know. I don't care about my income anyway

because everything's in hard assets and everything's accruing in value. So what does it even mean to me? It's in property. It's in stocks. But this is the problem then when they say they want to raise taxes across the board. I mean, even Bernie Sanders' plan, I think, would have still raised taxes for middle-class and upper-middle-class people. And when I try to explain to a lot of people at Occupy Wall Street, for instance,

and other leftist activists, what we need, in my opinion, is more tax brackets, not just to be like, after you make $250,000, we tax you at this percentage. Because somebody who makes $250,000 being taxed 48% or whatever, or 38%, I think it is, then they end up getting take home about $100,000 or so.

But somebody who's making $10 million who's taxed the same rate doesn't notice a difference when they're having millions of dollars deposited in their account. I have a little bit of a different perspective. I think there should be no taxes. And if the government wants to launch any project, they have to do it through GoFundMe and they have to have enough public support and private charity to do so. I think that would be a more rational way to do this than, of course, steal people's money. Yeah. I like that for some except for like utilities about like water the water supply and the power supply the military if you look at most uh power supply companies especially in california it is riddled with corruption you look at venezuela and their

kind of uh energy companies when when they were of course brought into the state government it absolutely ruined uh venezuela the infrastructure hasn't been updated the government has no incentive in order to provide you any quality of service the private market does and that's why i would argue the government getting involved makes the situation that much worse what about the water supply because if the water supply goes haywire the government well it depends on like what aspect and what variability you're discussing like are we talking about sanitation? Are we talking about cleaning?

Who's going to take my poop from my house? Luke in your Ron Paul and Kapistan paradise. Where's the poop go? There's literally companies out there that are developing technology that makes poop into energy and power. So the private

market would be, again, way better. I'm not saying it's going to be a perfect system. Obviously, with any system, there's going to be some kind of harm. There's going to be some kind of idiot that ruins it for everyone else. But I think overall, there would be a lot less harm, a lot more economic prosperity, a lot more freedom, just like we saw in Singapore, just like we saw a few years ago in Hong Kong.

Civilizations. Bro, they execute you if they find you. Now they do. But Singapore became known on the world stage as a free economic market where a lot of people fled to. And it was able to build a society that was a free market society that allowed private enterprise to thrive. And it created some of the most richest people in the world. Now, obviously, it has devolved into a full technocratic state with a social credit score, with surveillance cameras watching your every move, if you spit on the ground or if you

chew gum the wrong way. I thought I was sweating bullets in Singapore with Tim because a disgruntled Tinder date was saying that she was going to call the police on me for not going on the date with her. We've got catfished. Oh, it was bad. It was horrible. I luckily was able to kind of see it. And then we had to like escape out the back door or whatever.

It was funny. I was laughing the whole time. Yeah. Luckily, I made it out. But I was sweating bullets apart with what was happening there. It's a crazy way that they decided to live their lives. But anywhere you see the free market kind of activated,

you see a lot of individual freedom. You see a lot of liberty. You see a lot of services that are incentivized to help the person rather than a government that will take your money and then doesn't need to provide you a good service. What if we created a special economic zone in the United States that was totally free free market we had two different ones one was for

the commies and one was for the ancaps and you could choose which one you wanted to go live in perfect that would be absolutely beautiful one city is dedicated to the communists and once you're once you choose to live there you can't choose not to and then the free marketplace you can come and go as you please exactly and then if if you know commies want to live in their own commune go ahead um i won't be mad about it i mean would you no tim you're a cold weather guy right what about greenland big property over there free economic yeah i know trump wanted to buy it and i was like that sounds great yeah and they made fun of him for it and it's so weird because like it wasn't even that long ago we bought alaska you know what I mean? Exactly. And it would have provided so much opportunities.

It would provide a lot of expansion. It would provide potentially an economic free zone, which I think would be amazing. And if you look at the history of those, they always turn out into incredible things. You look at the history of government top-down centralization controlling every aspect of the financial institutions, you see communism. And you see people starving and not having food, people being slaughtered and sent to the gulags. And I think there's a big overall trend when it comes to economic

freedom and political freedom. We need Starlink. We need low latency, high speed satellite internet. Then you can live and work from anywhere. And that's what I'm excited for because we've been looking at, you at – we're in West Virginia. We're setting up this big 50-acre property, but we're still out here because we have to be close to a major airport or whatever.

And so that will tether us in our operation closer to bigger cities. But you could go to a smaller regional airport and someone could fly to a major airport then to the smaller airport and then you could effectively have a a media operation in the middle of wyoming in the middle of nowhere so long as you have that satellite that low latency communications or greenland and decentralized service server space that's once we get starlink and like maybe satellite server space to orbital server space i think we're going to be i think the future the future of this planet is going to be people spreading out outside of cities and then wiring themselves into the into the metaverse and living digital virtual lives could you imagine just like if if your entire life was the matrix but it wasn't like the movie the matrix you knew you were in the matrix so basically you'd like wake up in the morning and you'd you'd brush your teeth then you'd wake up in the morning and you'd brush your teeth.

Then you'd go into your pod that stimulates your muscles so you don't atrophy. And then you enter the digital space. And then you're in Greenland doing your work and you're like, I've got a meeting in New Zealand. And then so then you just walk up to a door and you type – you activate it. New Zealand, please. The door opens. Right up and you walk right to Newaland because you're in a virtual world dude it'll be like i'll be in my house you'll be in your house but we'll both be in this studio digitally it'll look like it that we're both sitting next to each other and we'll be seeing each other you do that now and the video will look like we're all in the

room together well yeah because you'll be it will be wired in the matrix but here's the thing so we're all kind of against it now but because if we're talking about this future technology in the matrix but here's the thing so we're all kind of against it now but because if we're talking about this future technology in the sense that they can like kind of like regulate your dopamine we will all become addicted to the metaverse that's the problem it's not even about that it's not going to be it's not going to be that tomorrow you know elon musk knocks on your door and then like you know he's holding the chip and then two guys in white coats pin you down and you're like no it's going to be that they're going to roll out the neural cap. It's a hat you wear that can, you know, alert you when your phone goes off or something like that or Google Glass. It's going to be some small convenience we accept

and then every day the convenience is going to escalate. Think about how cell phones started. Big, big gray block. You pull the antenna up. It had like four hours of power, only worked downtown and they sucked. And then I remember when, you know, my mom had a cell phone, it was like roaming charges and connections and it like worked. It was better. It was like a gray Motorola and you'd flip it down. Then I got my first candy bar phone. These phones didn't do anything, but it was convenient to have. You could talk to people or beepers, for instance. Now we have the summation of the access to the summation of human knowledge in our pockets. We can film videos. It is escalating. Everyone accepts it. They're okay with being tracked. They're okay with being spied on because of the convenience. So neural link will happen. Whatever

all this metaverse stuff will happen. No one will resist it. We are going to accept it and be happy about it. How many people, if you went back in time and said i'm gonna take away your landline phone and you will be happy they'd be like no i wouldn't i need my phone be like no no don't worry we're gonna give you a tracking device that people can track everywhere you go no matter where you go and it'll spy on you but you'll be able to talk to people they'll be like screw that are you nuts no give me my phone back that's not that's not where we're at now is it so i'm watching the chat room and someone just left a comment saying imagine this chat but in vr and i'm like that'd be wild i'm seeing what you guys are saying here it's uh it already exists it already exists yeah

there's uh on oculus there's i don't know what's called it's like live chat and i brought the duck thing in a little kid because i was playing the game. I was playing Space Robot Trainer, that pirate game. That's so fun. You're like, you got robots and you're like, you're shooting at them

and then I went to the chat room and it's like people walking around and there was a duck just like walking around doing stuff and I'm like, someone literally went in this game and said,

I would like to be a duck and they did. The graphics are trash, mind you, because the processing power isn't all that great or whatever but imagine what it's going to be like when they synchronize Neuralink. How long is that going to be?

10 years? 20 years? Maybe that's a bad estimate. Maybe 30 or 40. Oh, it could be much sooner than that. I know. Look at 1986, 1981, the video games that were out. Mario Brothers.

30 years. Look where video games ended up. You've got first-person 3D. Now look where video games ended up you you've got first person 3d now look where we are it's been almost 40 years it's been over 40 years and look how rapidly video game technology has advanced to the point where now we got vr glasses you with with the new oculus you put it on and there's no wires you can go out in your backyard and set your space and then just do whatever in virtual reality. Wireless. I keep thinking about the chimp. Did you guys ever see the video

of the chimp on Instagram? Just look it up someday. I don't know if you want to bring it up now. It's kind of a non-sequitur. What about the chimp? It's just a chimpanzee on Instagram. He's on Instagram swiping and he looks like a human. Oh, this right here. This is nuts.

Here we go. He's just watching videos of chimps doing chimp stuff well yeah but chimps are smart monkeys you know monkeys are smart too we'll be we'll be in the metaverse with these guys look at that he's swiping he's looking for stuff and he just he hits it and he's like yo what that may help us understand other animals a lot better because if we can wire them into the metaverse with us. He just knows how to do it. Like if you can neural net and synchronize with an ape and then you can kind of understand the animal more. I don't know, man.

And it could understand you more. I think everything that we're saying is going to be viewed in the future as like stodgy old people complaining. Remember we laughed at remember that guy that i don't know if you know this ian there's a guy who uh who was it was it it was it was someone famous he said the internet wouldn't take off oh robert reich wasn't it was it i think so is that krugman it was krugman i think it was everything yeah i think it was both of them yeah could be both of them and he was like the internet will not be part of the economy or something like this he like he likened it to a fax machine.

He said it would be as big a deal as a fax machine. I think that was the quote. Let's see. Did Krugman say the internet's effect on the world's economy would be no greater than the fax machines? True. Look at that. Man, this guy is still today a very dumb person. Nobel Prize winning economist.

That's right. Wrong about everything. But think about it, man. People back then, I remember watching, you know, I watched these old videos that come up where they're like, no, the internet's not going to take off. Well, certainly an interesting novelty. It won't be. And then you get Krugman, you get other people like it. Watching these old videos about the internet, it's crazy. Yeah.

Because it is life today. Well, you know, even with cell phones and the advent of social media, I would say it was a net positive in the very beginning because it was unfiltered, uncontrolled. There was no major algorithms. It was what you subscribe to is what you get. And there was a moment in time where people finally started to get the true window to the reality of the world that wasn't controlled by any kind of special interest. now those doors are closing and i and i'm seeing social media as a net negative especially with the psychological disorders that it has caused so many young people causing people to of course be so unhappy but the larger debate that i think should be sparked here is it because we have too

much knowledge that has gone into our brain too fast is the ability to be able to know anything in a moment something that is detrimental to human society or human beings a power that they never had before that's an interesting kind of debate that i've been kind of listening and hearing about that i think is worth uh talking about in 50 years people are all born and they're implanted with their neural chip and they grow up and they live mostly in the metaverse and there's a young man and you meet a young woman and they're getting along swimmingly and they're all excited and then they're like you know oh i've got a i've got to move pods um you know oh i'll come help you move your pod and then the guy's like that that'd be great yeah they're coming to move the pod to unit c c39 over you know about a

block from my house it's going to be a lot of work. It's going to be annoying. And then, you know, one day there's a knock on the door, and it's like a 6'3", really burly bearded man. And he's like, Rick, good to see you. And he's like, Janet. And they hug and they kiss. And then they carry the pod out to the new unit. Then they go back in their pods. And, you know, the big bearded guy is actually a 5'7", blonde woman in the metaverse.

Like, I'm not even kidding. Like, and it's going to be normal. And people are going to be normal and people are going to be like whatever because their reality their reality is going to be the metaverse and the real world base reality is going to be a chore it's going to be ancillary it's going to be like something they have to deal with it's going to hurt they're like gravity hurts yep it's going to be like you know when you're like at a pool and when you get out you're like oh man like no no cold it's like all of a sudden like when you're under when you're like at a pool and when you get out, you're like, oh, man. Like, no, no, Cole. It's like all of a sudden, like when you're under when you're in the water, you can move much more easily.

And then when you lift up, you're like, whoa, I'm heavy now. And you've got all this water holding you down. That's what's going to feel like. People are going to live that way. It's like in the movie Surrogates where there's that hot blonde woman and then like the machine blows her head up. They go to the apartment and it turns out it's this morbidly obese guy who's in the machine like hooking up with kids. There's something to that in the age of gender fluidity where like like, you can be any gender and you can pick your avatar, kind of. I mean, it totally synergizes with what you're saying.

Yeah. Yep. What do you think? What's the future going to look like in a few years from now? So from a technological aspect, you know, you have the famous Moore's Law. But what you find – so I think this might be a problem of our progeny. I don't know. I'm not convinced it's going to happen so fast because technological innovation in the electronic space is actually slowing down. There's only, so you have a circuit board and there's only

so many transistors that you can pack on there. So it's probably going to take something like a neural link technology, you know, totally flip the board over, start working on like brain electrodes, because in terms of like improvement of technology, the idea, it is no longer exponential and it hasn't been for, for quite some time. It's actually eventually going to flatten out because this, this circuit board technology, it's already like done by robots and microscopic. There's literally like no more room for these electrons to move. The transistors have become so small

that electrons aren't even falling on the path. They're jumping off and moving between things. They're using sound now as a wave guide to force the electrons along the path so they don't actually have to use... I don't want to get this wrong. I don't know more about it. But they're using sound to guide the light.

So with a Neuralink, if you're doing doing brain surgery then who knows where this takes off but if you're trying to use like your oculus to expand into the metaverse i don't see it as being something so similar to human life through that platform but again when you're when you're dealing with the brain who knows what could happen so what if in the future we stop making computer chips and we start just growing brain matter? And then you're like, dude, the new Ryzen Threadripper 5000 organic. And it's just like a brain in a vat. And it's got like ports and everything. We start having cone heads just like in the Hollywood movies.

Because there's also we're using we're using our own brains as our desktops is that what you're saying no no no just like in in the cone head movie their brains just start expanding upwards uh and there's also that wasn't in the cone heads movie uh yes it was no they're just aliens with cone heads exactly we can become their brains they probably had bigger brains no right they Right? They have bigger... I don't know. But there's also a set of human beings that are recorded with their skeletons having cone heads. That's it.

They were doing elongation and stuff. Some people are debating that, but there's also some other interesting theories by Brian Forrester that contradict that theory as well. I don't know what the truth is, but if we're going to be expanding brains, I'm pretty sure it's going to be coneheads.

You know, I was thinking, but I think what we should do is now that Vax mandates are normal, we should actually just have a metaverse mandate. And then we should send the government out to forcefully neural link chip people's brains and plug them in against their will. Because once you connect them to metaverse and you can control their thoughts, you can take away the pain and then they'll like it. Perfect. All we have to do is chase people down while chanting one of us, one of us. Perfect.

And they'll be scared at first, but as soon as you infect them with the metaverse, they'll easily calm down and then join you in your quest to transform everyone else into a singular being.

You know, just like the independent says, we have to de-radicalize the hardcore anti-vaxxers and treat them like terrorists. You know? I don't know what that has to do with it. That's independent.

It's all for the greater good, Tim. Send them to the metaverse in the name of health. For the greater good, right now we'll read Super Chat. So if you haven't already, get in that Super Chat. Smash that Like button. If you haven't already smashed that Like button, do it for Ian. Do it for me. Do it for Ian.

And go to TimCast.com. Become a member. We're going to have a members-only segment coming up at around 11 or so p.m. Let's read what you got. We got Public News Choice says, buy yourself a beer, Tim. Always enjoy tuning in when I get off work. Hey, appreciate it, man. We actually just started getting a bunch of new beers from a new brewery.

Yes. What is it called? It's Old 690 Brewery. There's one now. Old 690. So it's a local brewery but apparently they're freedom loving brewery yeah they love freedom pretty good beer yeah we we met some we met some of the owners and we talked to them they were really cool um one of the family members a fan of the show and

we went and grabbed a whole mess load of their beers we might actually do a our a brew with them a castle that sounds fun tim cast castle specific brew of some sort i had a raspberry one i think raspberry wheat you gotta call it you gotta call it like beanie juice beanie juice no nothing like that no i think we can make something good we have yeah we have a blonde and we've and so we we do have that i don't really drink all that much but i did drink a little bit recently just for the holidays so i've been i've been having a a good time you know we've got these these these uh the new brews and i think um gotta try them out you gotta try both i need to have a blonde one i'll maybe have one tomorrow all right let's see beep boop says tim would enjoy arcane

season one it follows a nation named piltover and it's a and it's slum that's attempting to break away and create its own nation good night oh interesting i'll check it out isn't that the um is that the league of Legends show? No idea. Yeah, Arcane. Arcane? Don't know. Cliff says,

did anyone else ever notice the Omicron variant when Unjubiled actually spells out Meronic? Yes. Yeah, a lot of people have pointed that out, I guess. Michael Tracy said that we should be calling Omicron the... What was the variant? Hold on. I actually written it down because it's a very...

It was pretty good. He wants it to be like, oh, come on, variant. Oh, come on now, variant. You know what I'm excited for? I'm actually really excited for the Omega variant because it sounds so dark and scary like a sci-fi dystopia. Would it be cool to be living in a sci-fi

dystopia? I think we do. But we're going to get to the point. So a lot of people said they skipped the She variant and the new variant. They skipped a whole bunch. They skipped tons. I don't remember Beta getting in. Beta was around in Lambda. But I was looking at the Greek alphabet and I'm like,

they just skipped over like seven variants. Theta? I don't know. All I know is the Omega variant. That's going to be cool. Fauci's going to come out and be like, I'm warning you, everyone. The Omega variant is here. And we're going to go,

I am the Omega. The Omega. It's like 100% transmissible. I am the Omega. I am the science. That sounds like something to say. Tina Collette says, as a resident of Wyoming, I can say most people agree. Liz Cheney does not speak for Wyoming and probably will be looking to move elsewhere when her term is over soon.

Why don't y'all, like, recall or impeach her? Why don't you look into the crimes of the Cheney family in Halliburton and getting us into Iraq and then make sure that people that do that don't stay in positions of power and politics and their family. I don't know about barring their family from politics, but aren't there enough people in Wyoming to be like, aren't there enough people in Wyoming who don't like Liz Cheney to just recall her? Tim, you have a good book on your shelf there called Rigged by Molly Hemingway. And guess where Molly Hemingway is from? Wyoming.

Is she really? Yeah. We got to get her to run against oh hey there you go cal miller says good luck trying to convince reddit and the vote blew no matter who people that trump was not trying to start an insurrection almost all of reddit's main politics sub is about trump and january 6th yeah i know these people live in a weird paranoid delusional reality i don't know what it's about yep okay what happened did you just freeze on me okay eric miller says hey tim is that a mitch mcconnell impression or a chris wallace impression eh either either they're both establishment trash either way also i think the vaccine mandates are actually triggering a rise in a civil war i think so yeah chris wallace and mitch mcconnell could basically basically be the same impersonation right it's interesting to hear about these these vax mandates i mean i live in south florida i've lived there for a year and no one was really wearing masks around me or anything

and we've all been okay florida actually has the lowest uh covet cases um per capita in the nation and has that for like two months now without these mandates. If you watch Jimmy Kimmel, he's like DeSantis is Governor Omicron and he's going to get everyone sick and they're going to die. And I'm like, do people really believe that?

Like the CDC shows Florida has the lowest amount of cases. He's done a really great job. But that's the paranoid delusional reality they live in, huh? The Golden Gorilla says, Luke says Dems and Republicans are two heads on the same snake. My version is they're different cheeks on the same ass.

That works. And they both relinquish a lot of waste. Two cheeks on the same ass. That's a pretty good one. I like that. And they're full of crap. And they're full of crap. Oh, that's great.

Wow. We should make it. You got to make a shirt. That's not really a shirt we would Wow. We should make it. You got to make a shirt. That's not really a shirt we would make. You should make that. I don't know if they'll allow me to have butt cheeks on my shirt. It might confuse people if it's on the chest area. Maybe there's another way to do it.

You know? I don't know. There's a lot of words here. So, I don't know. Do you have like Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell's face tattooed on someone's butt? Two cheeks, one ass. Two cheeks, one ass. Two cheeks, one ass. That sounds great.

No, it could be like a donkey. It could be a donkey with its cheeks and it's a Democrat or Republican. Two cheeks and the same ass. It has to be. Oh, there you go. There you go. Green Jean says, do you support Article 5? If so, why don't you discuss a convention of states more often to get your audience involved?

Hey. I say it all the time. Shout you discuss a convention of states more often to get your audience involved hey i say it all the time shout out to the convention of states if you want to get something done get the politicians to do something that they're not going to vote for themselves to do like term limits or cutting their salaries that's convention of states is for yeah um what i often say is we need to vote local you need to to vote your city council, your school board. You got to vote for your mayor. You got to vote for your state reps, your state senators. You got to vote for your governors. And you got to vote for everybody else. And you got a primary.

You got to make sure you're in the party primary so you can make sure these establishment uniparty shills don't get elected. But if people focus on state level elections, senators and reps, then you will get a convention of states, and the federal government becomes a side note. So there you go. SlotBJoe says, please tell Luke that it's exacerbated, not exacerbated. Listen, I'm going to pronounce words like I want to pronounce words. If I want to say exacerbate, I'm going to say exacerbate. Maybe I'm doing it on purpose.

Yeah, Luke speak good and whatever. Yeah, I speak good. Speakate. I want to say exacerbate. Maybe I'm doing it on purpose. Yeah, Luke. Luke, speak good and whatever. Yeah, I speak good. Speak good. So good. Waffle Sensei says, Tim, I appreciate the attempted white pill, bro, but none of my lefty friends have any idea what's happening with the economy. It's like they believe it's not happening. This is correct.

They live in a paranoid, delusional state. I don't want to tell you. That's why I say the factions in the culture war and everything are not left and right. I am on the left of Vosh and Hassan when it comes to corporate power and the commons, when it comes to social media platforms, literally. I believe that the public should be in control of public spaces where communications happen. And I don't believe that massive multinational private corporations should have the right to eject people from the commons.

But they actually disagree with that. So they're more in favor of private property in that capacity for whatever reason. I don't know. Maybe I'm not understanding their positions. We'd have a conversation about it. But the real issue is there are people who believe CNN and there are people who don't. There's your narrative. But I shouldn't say CNN.

It's actually the narrative, the establishment narrative yeah rhino says watched a youtube video earlier and mit has a program called world three that predicted the downfall of civilization around 2040 then they mentioned we are on the fast track i i remember we talked about that didn't we i don't remember yeah we talked about that, didn't we? I don't remember. Yeah, we talked about MIT's predicting total societal collapse. Oh, that's right. It's been a while, yeah. World 3, that's the first I put a name to it. All right.

Jess Videos says, Jordan, great to see you somewhere besides the Steve Deese show. Hooked him up with him so he can have him on his show. Always great seeing you, man. Keep up the good work. Really appreciate that. Steve Deese is a great show on Blaze TV. There you go. BC Is Me says, write a song show on Blaze TV. There you go. BCismy says,

Write a song for Step on Snack and find out. Done. We will do that. I could probably write something like that in five minutes. I'll pick four chords, and I'll just sing it off the top of my head, and I'll probably be able to crank that one out. Moose Code says,

Tim, ever heard of Second Life? Yes, I have. It is a metaverse launched in 2003 People have already gotten married and provided services for money ever since Yeah it was mostly viewed as kind of like an MMO though wasn't it? Like not an RPG but a massive multiplayer online game

MMOG? Yeah MMO You could say it was an RPG but it was basically like a digital space where you had an avatar. But Mark Zuckerberg didn't put his weight behind it, and Elon Musk wasn't trying to drill a hole in your head. It wasn't metaverse in that there wasn't cryptocurrency wasn't involved yet. There wasn't any AI involved, and social networking wasn't integrated really.

I mean the game itself was kind of an insulated social network. All right. Atarka says, hey, everyone. y'all share and help my friends go fund me i set up she is now hospitalized due to covid and a lot of people won't help because she has had the vaccine it's called helping jordan get her life better by nick downs i gotta tell you man like some of the some of the data that i've read about covid i really do think the initial short term lockdown was the right thing to do i'm talking about two weeks slow the spread the problem was you give someone an inch to take a mile right so when i was i was talking to someone recently about the data having had covet and and going through it i'm like we all agreed that the first when they said 15 days slow the spread we were all kind of like okay we get it you know

it's because we don't want hospitals to be overwhelmed. And that is all true. Overwhelming hospitals means people die of other things too. But then you get democratic governors killing old people. You get a whole bunch of really bad stuff happening. And so now the challenge is if you could go back in time and say no, no, no, no to any of the authority, emergency powers and lockdowns, would you do it? The problem is, you know, hindsight is 2020. We don't know what would have happened. But I kind of think that the abuse of power we've seen so far is not worth the exchange that means people would have lost their lives though so i don't know man it's tough they're

still losing their lives i guess if cuomo with cuomo and these other governors killing all these elderly maybe we would have been better off just not locking down at all you know maybe if we had preventative treatments that uh you know actually are preventative and actually were there maybe then we would have to deal with a lot of the loss yeah the counter example here is is sweden belarus never locked down yep um if i don't want to go too big into uh the weeds on this issue due to the regulations on this issue but um yet sweden and belarus never locked down florida yeah, Sweden and Belarus never locked down. Florida locked down for, they barely locked down, did like a couple weeks.

It's interesting when you trace back the two weeks it stopped to spread, it's essentially traced back to this like random school educator that was running like this online school and he had a Medium post that went viral. And then of course the initial idea of the lockdown came in Wuhan, China, where they had like all these bizarre videos coming out and somehow

appearing on Western social media platforms. Like how did a video out of Wuhan make its way to Instagram? Kind of weird because no one uses Instagram in China. So there's a lot of weird questions about this not lockdown narrative, how it started, what exactly happened in Wuhan, China, that they were, you know, pushing out all this random social media information and trying to influence the West into locking down. And sadly, lockdowns are now like accepted fact that, you know, all of these, I guess, progressives and statists say, you know, if there's a COVID problem, we need to lock down.

In addition to our vax passports, in addition to our mask mandates, it's just one totalitarian measure after the next. And they refuse to admit that they got anything wrong. And they're just doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on this craziness. But I think they're just like, hey, we can keep expanding our powers. I don't think they care at all about the data or the metrics. They're just quite literally like,

the more this keeps happening, look at what de Blasio said. He wants to buy up property for pennies on the dollar and convert it into public housing. So they don't care about any of this other than we can exploit this for power. You think those videos

of the whaling people in China, that one ominous video of the howling in the city and you could hear like you're rattling chains and stuff. You think that was seated? You know that video I'm talking about? I can't really expand on here, but my platform, I've written several stories about this at dossier.substack.com. Well, let's talk about it. Let's talk about it in the member segment.

Yeah. All right. Let's read some more superchats. We got Bailey and he says, Tim, wondering if you do Alaska a solid and try to get Kelly Shibaka on. See if she's worth it like you did for AZ. Well, you know, with Arizona, I mean, we're just people on to have conversations. So we're willing to have a conversation with anybody. Is Kelly, she's running for governor in Alaska?

Yeah, I'd write that down. There we go. Is she running for governor? I don't know. Well, we'll take a look. I will look. Lynn Ross says, elites plan on creating a metaverse. One of the key problems is gamers.

We will find ways to exploit our way to infinite wealth or find ways to speedrun to the top of their system. You know what I used to love, man? OG World of Warcraft, glitch hopping on top of Undercity and going underneath Stormwind and doing all these really fun things. We would go into areas that weren't yet developed. You could look on the map and see an area that's never been

developed and we would find a way to break into it this is before flying was introduced to the game that was the most fun i'd have playing these games i'd spend hours exploring this massive virtual world and trying to find ways to get into places you can't get into when the division first came out there was a way to to push through walls using the ballistic shield and then we went into a bunch of areas where the game hadn't released them yet and they ban you for it and then there was destiny you could use your vehicle it's called a sparrow if you spawned it at the right spot in front of a wall you would spawn in it would spawn in the wall you could move through the wall and go into areas that were unreleased and they would ban you

for it and i'm like the most fun was exploiting and finding these things. I'll tell you this. They come out with a metaverse. It's going to be only a matter of time before a group of hackers find a way to break through walls. Think about how crazy the world's going to be when everyone is born. It gets a computer chip and spends 95% of their lives in the metaverse. But some people find exploits.

That would be like if you went downtown to grab a slice of pizza and you saw some dude jump 20 feet in the air and then teleport, you'd be like, what? How did he do that? Dude, you're making me think of auto-warm beer. That high school student that went to North Korea and stole a flag and they threw him in North Korean prison. He basically wasted away and died of what they

say, botulism. So a kid's going to go in the metaverse from age 2 to 12, and then all of a sudden he's going to find an exploit and get banned. And he's going to wake up and start screaming and crying and realizing that his entire life has been taken from him and then commit suicide. I don't know. I think if metaverse becomes our entire lives, it would be like you'd get a suspension. And so what they would do is you'd be locked out of a ton of features.

You couldn't go to certain areas. And you'd be like, oh, man, and it would be like a three-month thing. Yeah, we need a constitution and a government and like a decentralized organization of power for something like that because that is someone's life. Ian, it's a private company. They can do what they want. Yeah. And you don't need to raise your children. You can just put a VR system on them that raises them for you.

That's going to be creepy. Babies born in matrix. Indoctrination public school centers in vr it's matrix bro no kids are gonna be born into it they never want to leave there's there's gonna be like it's 50 years the guy's gonna be like my my my pod needs to be moved they're like oh dude that sucks i know all right well give me a few minutes i'll deal with this and it's gonna be like miserable to have to leave first baby's gonna be born in the metaverse they're gonna like we want to deliver a baby in the metaverse and the baby's gonna be pre-wired to be in the verse before it even is out of the womb so you'll see the whole process the baby will come out and the adult content that already is on the internet imagine

that being uh dude so here's an here's an important one sarah roberts says i'm paralyzed from the shoulders down and have been for seven years but the idea of having a chip implanted into my head doesn't sit well it could be amazing but it could also go very wrong yeah now i'll say in my opinion if for people who are paralyzed if i was had a spinal injury, I'd take the chip in two seconds. Oh, yeah. Me too. Yeah. I don't know.

I don't think I would. I think I would join this super chatter, to be honest with you. Yeah. I'm saying that now. I'm not in that position. But from that kind of perspective, I think I would take her position. After like a year of like 10,000 people getting up and walking that had paralyzation or deaf people hearing. It's hard to say because I'm not in her shoes,

but I understand where she's coming from. Yeah. I'd do it. I'd be like, Elon, help! Wire me up! I want to walk! What? You're not paralyzed, though.

If I was paralyzed, I would take the chip. Dude, we're healing the blind, the deaf. If you lost your eyes, would you get that thing that jordy had the visor from star trek would you implant the thing in your temples and then anything anything to to heal my vision at that point but what okay so all right so think about that right to heal your vision to gain a sense what if they said we could give you uh an implant that gives you the ability to see electrical fields. Yeah, dude. But that would be like getting an elective surgery for no reason. You can already see.

It's cool, right? Yeah, I'm not into that. I'm not going to do it for just for basic enhancement. But if I lost a limb or something and I could get it regrown, I'd be into it. That's going to happen in the future. They're going to give you like an enzyme treatment that's going to trigger

stem cell regrowth and then your arm is going to start regrowing and then you're going to happen in the future. They're going to give you like an enzyme treatment that's going to like trigger cell, like stem cell regrowth, and then your arm is going to start regrowing, and then you're going to grow back your hand or whatever. You'll be like in a bacta tank of fluid while it regrows over like two weeks or something. Yeah. It'll be faster. You'll be in the hospital, and you'll be like, check it out. And you're like, people will film time lapses and put them on Instagram and stuff. It'll have a tattoo already on it.

They're like, would you like anything cool on your new arm? Oh, can I get like a Wolverine claws? We can do Wolverine claws. But can you make my elbow a little bit lower? Yeah, yeah. We'll get your elbow set. So there was a funny viral post where a woman said, the craziest thing was when I was getting my prosthetic, they asked me if I'd like to be taller. And I said, yes.

And now I'm two inches taller. So when this chick was getting a prosthetic leg, they were like, we can make you taller. Of course we can. Yep. Whatever they want. And so because he's made a taller leg and now she's tall that's so crazy right frank says there may be a big backlash with radical luddite groups attacking tech we should just make this movie can we write this radical luddite yeah where like people are raiding metaverse facilities and mark zuckerberg is old, and he's like, stop. You don't understand. We must do this.

And they're like, screw you, Zuckerberg. And then they start smashing the servers. Yeah, the character in the metaverse is going to be, you've got to understand. I'm not who you thought I was. This is more than what you think it is. There's an actual universe outside of it. We need to free you from here. They're trying to free people from the pods and the bug juice that they keep feeding them the bug juice so this is the post metaverse scenario so what happens the

metaverse fails have you seen that what's that netflix show where they reprogram their consciousness is that like the post metaverse step i forgot what that was called was that black mirror no no no there's like a there's a netflix series there's two seasons now i'm sure someone in the chat knows what it is but but basically like your body is totally separate from your consciousness and they can carbon altered carbon oh yeah yeah yeah so that could be metaverse 3.0 after the first metaverse revolution this is put it right in your consciousness here we go from waffle sensei says tim watch matrix legends it's canon that the humans did choose to be enslaved in a perfect reality that was the deal they made to end the war interesting i'll check that out maybe that's where the uh the new movie actually goes

because i'm wondering like how do they do this movie i thought that they had a truce and like the war was over and the last matrix and now it's like neo's taking blue pills or whatever i don't know man mason wolf wolfie says first the brain chip and metaverse then sword art online oh boy what a dystopia to be alive in it's not going to be a dystopia when you are forcefully enter you know when they pin you down and inject you with the with the chip you know and connect you to the network and you go ah and then all of a sudden you're sitting in and connect you to the network. And then you go, ah! And then all of a sudden you're sitting in class and you're like, what just happened? And they're going to be like, bro, the quiz, the lecture.

And you're going to be like, oh, oh man. Oh, what was going on? I can't remember. It's like, dude, we were just talking about this. And you're like, oh yeah. Oh, let's go get lunch. And then you're going to get- It's like downloading information.

You're like, I don't quite, oh, oh, oh, I remember. I remember as the download completes yeah um did you are you guys know sword art online no it's an anime where they go into a vr world like the metaverse and then they have to fight monsters and the guy who created it is like now that i have you if you die in the game you die in real life and you can't log out yeah like traps everybody in the universe interesting yeah it's nuts people are trapped bits who says beliefs of corporate dissidents ian it's facebook tim it's the metaverse luke it's the umbrella corporation pretty much the umbrella corporation kurt sutter says let's not forget if elon chooses or is forced to sell stock in his company for whatever reason

control of his company is slowly transferred to someone else. Taxation equals loss of control. That's correct. Lethal5670 says, Tim, what about a flat tax? Let's say 25%, no deduction, no loopholes, just a flat tax that everyone pays. So I think Luke made a really good point about taxes being bad in general. My attitude is more just like in the current version of the system. It doesn't work. We should do it like a different way. The issue with the flat tax is basically poor people are negatively impacted by even a light tax. Like if you're only going to get $200 for the week and you need every penny, then they take out even $20. That is a kick in the balls.

If you're rich and you're expecting a million dollars to come in in one month and they tell you that, and I'm talking profit, like income at the top, and they say, we're taking 80%. Sure, it sucks. But $200,000 to spend money on, bro, I assure you that person's going to be like, that's ridiculous. They're taking my $800,000. I don't even know what to spend any of it on anyway, to be honest. Granted, I believe the person should be free to choose how they want to allocate their money.

My point is just that rich people do not look at percentages the same way poor people do. A flat tax, in my opinion, makes no sense. They literally print money out of thin air. Taxes are just a way to control people. That's literally it. It's how they effectively pay back what they rip off. It's how they steal money from you. All right.

Where are we at? Where are we at? The Great Anywho says, hey, guys, thanks for all the info. Keep up the good work. Luke, Google goldbacks. Luke, you know about goldbacks. Oh, yeah. I got a stack of them.

Yep. I got some of those. You saw them, right? Yeah. It's gold foil bills. Yep. They're used a lot in New Hampshire with the Free State Project. People barter with them. People trade with them. Yep. They're worth, I think, Hampshire with the Free State Project. People barter with them.

People trade with them. Really? Yep. They're worth, I think, in gold, like $2.50 or something. Yeah. But I think the actual value of them, because they're coated in plastic, is like $4. Yeah. Something like that.

Yep. I got a big stack, because they're cool. It's Utah Goldbacks. It's just gold foil. It's one one-th of a troy ounce all right got a big old super chat jump adam davidson says tim have you seen the dr mccullough episode on jre i've seen parts of it luke did you watch it i was watching uh a large portion of it it was a lot of truth bombs it was a major, major interview that is making its rounds on the Internet right now.

And he said a lot of very important things, especially about preventative treatments, early treatments. And I think he really hit the nail on the head with his perspective and his findings. So what you're saying is Joe Rogan is far right? No, he's definitely – I don't think he is. He interviewed a doctor, a medical professional that was talking about his findings that of course were the total opposite of what Dr. Fauci was saying. Alright. American

capitalist says, I believe Kelly is running against Lisa Murkowski. That's correct. Oh man. I can't stand the Uniparty. You know, I'm really excited because I feel like no matter what happens, the Uniparty is out. That's kind of where I think where we're going. Just no more of that establishment crony trash.

It'll just be complaining about AOC. You know what I mean? That's fine. Whatever. Well, she's actually still Uniparty. She jumped in the Uniparty as soon as she was given the chance. Is she a Trojan horse in the Uniparty? I don't know about a Trojan horse.

I think she just willfully was like, I want to be in the Uniparty. She i don't know about a trojan horse i think she just willfully was like i want to be in the uniparty she's ready to change some stuff didn't she like audition for her role in congress wasn't that i don't know about that or was that a fake theory i don't know i don't know if that's true but you know whatever it's like if you want to complain about someone's policy positions is fine but aoc is the worst example a bad example because she's she's very uniparty cutthroat lies cheats steals all that stuff like i don't mind you know progressives who believe things i disagree with or who i think might be dumb adam schiff is like on a scale of you know zero being you're really dumb and you know 100 being you're a really good person who's really smart and negative 100 being like you're pure evil, vile scum.

Like Adam Schiff is a negative 100. He's probably one of the worst human beings I have ever seen ever doing anything. And I've seen some bad people. As long as you're not trying to censor us, I'm happy for you to advocate for whatever you want. As long as it's in an know an open forum that's uh censorship resistant so that that's the thing about schiff is that he is trying to remove all of the critics and the january 6th committee that's exactly what it's for it's to essentially in my opinion intimidate people into um not opposing them because you're gonna have problems if you do so i think they just need

a narrative for the midterms they just need something to say and it's like it's how they can keep trump alive like trump's not here he's not in the midterms and they're like what can we do to say trump again that's their plan man tom at penny says y'all pick on people with blue hair a lot i have blue hair ian is great luke thanks for coming back lydia's base tim's all right and then a winky face thanks dude what is that supposed to mean he's cool for having blue hair the The Chronicles of Chris says, Tim, look up the story of the second renaissance from Animatrix. Humans chose the fate they met.

Yeah, I gotta be honest. In the Matrix, philosophically, what were the humans fighting for? They were fighting for autonomy, right? They didn't want to be in the Matrix, but the machines weren't mistreating the humans. They didn't want to be in the matrix but the machines weren't mistreating the humans they didn't want to be slaves to the matrix they didn't seem to mind going into it this is a crazy idea right that these people were slaves to the matrix to the machines to be used as power but the reality

was so awful and like you'd eat white sludge for food and like you'd be miserable and awful but i think the reality is freedom is for the individual and the individual has a right to choose and the problem was the machines took away their right from birth so you don't get to take people and tell them i'm going to make your life better as a justification for stripping them of their rights wasn't there also another dude who was plugging himself into the matrix so he could enjoy trivial no that was the bad guy that was cypher he was trying to he was trying he did that he sold them out to get injected back in the matrix but i think there was someone else um i think there was a short scene where someone was enjoying something like helicopter writing i forgot uh we should re-watch the whole well they could plug

themselves into their own programs yeah and like you could create programs where you could do really crazy fun things just like the metaverse yeah could be metaverse propaganda very often throughout history there's been the excuse that stripping people of their rights has been good for them you know what i mean and some of sometimes it's been objectively true like uh i should say in the instance of the matrix it was objectively true that stripping a person of their rights in the matrix they are living a comfortable life in the 1990s where they could eat food and have steak, but in the real world, the world was destroyed. So they're objectively better off in the matrix, except you don't have a right to take someone's rights away. The machines do not have a right to take that choice from them. If people were born

and then told, here's the world and here's the matrix, what would you prefer? That's a different story. If people had the right to choose, I'd rather live in the matrix. And they say, here's what we're going to do. We're going to wire you up. You're going to be fed recycled nutrients from other corpses when they age out and other organic matter. But you're going to get to live in a normal reality,

like an old reality where you'll flourish and thrive and do your own thing. Otherwise, you can live in the underbelly of the decaying dead earth eating sludge. I don't know. What'd you, what'd you guys pick?

I like, uh, I like the underdogs. Uh, I'll probably be eating sludge and I take the sludge machine robots. I take the sludge because you could always plug yourself into your own private program. Exactly.

You know what I mean? Yeah. So it's like, I don't know why they didn't do that. I know that the cipher guy was like, I want to be back in the matrix. It's like's like bro you can literally just plug yourself in in the ship yeah and then go anywhere you want and do whatever you want like why would you want to be back in the matrix i don't know they don't cook my steak the right way and well your life also has meaning and

value when you're fighting for something if you're just given everything that you ever wish for it's it's valueless right we need conflict we need something yeah all right let's do one more here chance justice says why not a flat 25 sales tax and no income tax poor can save by not spending rich pay more for luxuries and there would be no need for irs agreed we'll do it that way no taxes i don't want taxes that stop giving the government money. They mishandle it and they give it to their friends. That's true. I don't understand.

They're going to give it to Amazon. They're going to give it to Google and Facebook to build the metaverses and control every aspect of your existence. No, I'm okay. Let the free market speak. Let's have some competition to these monopolies out there, for frick's sakes. Yeah, the issue with the fiat system is that we're basically powerless in it and we're still kind of rearranging

the chairs on the Titanic because ultimately, if we're talking about monetary policy, we're talking about the US dollar which we have really no influence upon. So it's really just kind of a ruling class system, which is of course why I like Bitcoin so much. But in terms of taxation,

I just, you know, I keep going back back to I'd just rather have an exit ramp. What do you mean, an exit ramp? I'd rather just decouple the federal government entirely from the economy. And you cannot do that through reorienting the U.S. dollar because the U.S. dollar will always be controlled by the ruling class. So eventually you're going to have to, I mean it's kind of like a loop and cap position. But the reality is that I think the economy would be much healthier if the state had zero control over the economy. Damn right.
