Starting point is 00:00:00 Joe Rogan has canceled his sold-out show in Vancouver, and this is because of the vaccine mandates. On one of his most recent episodes of his show with Tim Dillon, he said he didn't even think he could get into the country. Now, this was initially reported by a lot of people that Joe Rogan was considering canceling the show, but I think people don't understand that sometimes there's a delay between when Joe records and when he uploads. Like, a lot of people were saying, like, Tim, you went on Joe's show when you were in Austin and the show didn't come out until you're already back in West Virginia. But our journalists made a very – they did something very simple.
Starting point is 00:00:33 They did journalism. And they checked the Ticketmaster website, which confirms the event organizer has canceled the event. You will automatically get a refund. And based on what Joe had said on his show, it's vaccine mandates, man. And so tremendous respect for Joe. It may be an issue of function instead of perhaps politics or principle, just in that he couldn't even go to Canada
Starting point is 00:00:56 because of the vaccine mandates. So we've got that. We've got Fauci. He's saying that we should have vaccine mandates for domestic air travel. He's telling people not to celebrate New Year's. And we are in this limbo period between Christmas and New Year's where nobody wants to work. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:01:11 Just all today, everyone's like, is anything even happening? We don't want anything to happen. So, you know, I guess people don't want to talk about it. But I will say there's a statement from Joe Biden. It's very important. He basically gave up. He said there's no federal solution to COVID. And instantly, many people on the left started
Starting point is 00:01:26 tweeting outrage like this is the guy who said he was going to end this. And now he's saying there's nothing I can do about it. The state's got to solve it. And that means a lot coming from a guy who was blaming Trump. So we got a lot to talk about. We got to talk about hospitals and Omicron. We got Airbnb saying they're going to crack down and investigate. What's the right word? Violations of their terms for people who engage in New Year's Eve parties or something like this. Like Airbnb is not going to let you have a New Year's Eve party because of COVID. This is getting crazy, man. But joining us to talk about all of this today is Mark Lobliner.
Starting point is 00:01:57 How's it going, man? Man, it's an honor to be here, Tim. I'll tell you what. What a beautiful compound you have here. Appreciate it. You've got skate parks, you've got chickens. This is like every West Virginian's dream. Skate park?
Starting point is 00:02:09 Maybe not that. Maybe chickens. Maybe not, but the chickens and the compound and the do not enter signs. I had a great time just driving in here, man. Yeah, yeah. We had a lot of those. Period. Do not enter signs.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Oh, it's great. It's great. Loved it. Loved it. But thank you so much for having me on. Yeah. You want to explain a little bit about who you are and what you do? So I'm the CEO of a nutrition company called MTS Nutrition,
Starting point is 00:02:31 chief marketing officer of a nutritional supplement company website called tigerfitness.com, creator of the Outright Bar, which I think you see right behind me right there. And I have a company called the Ambrosia Collective, also 015 Nutrition. I own alongside Mr. Olympia Brandon Curry, Pump Chasers. I do a few things, also do online coaching. I'm the head strength coach for Ravenwood High School Wrestling in Brentwood, Tennessee. So I keep busy and I keep really busy. And, you know, at the end of the day, you know, I love my country and I'm here to, you know, basically make my country, and I'm here to basically make my country great,
Starting point is 00:03:06 whether that's through business, whether that's through educating kids. That's what I'm here for. So I'm very happy to be here to talk to you. Right on, man. Appreciate it. We got Luke chilling. Mark, thanks for coming. Before starting, I want to address the treachery and blasphemy that was committed on this show when I couldn't be here by Mr. Goldman. And I just wanted to state for the record that I disliked Jack Murphy way before it was cool.
Starting point is 00:03:26 And Jack was lying. There wasn't a fight before the show. That was not true, but there will be. And if you want to finance my fight camp, you can by going to thebestpoliticalshirts.com and buying t-shirts like the one I'm wearing right now, depicting, of course, Dr. Evil, Mr. Gates, and mini-me, Dr. Fauci,
Starting point is 00:03:44 saying just two more weeks to slow the spread. And you can get that shirt, support me. Mark, are you going to be on my fight camp? Oh, absolutely. What is the fight camp? But I would love to fight. Who are we fighting?
Starting point is 00:03:55 Jack Murphy. Oh. There was, I want to make sure everyone's clarified. Luke had, he's got these professional martial arts trainers doing like a real training Yeah Luke's a little off the cuff with it
Starting point is 00:04:08 A little bit But he said Jack Murphy Came here said there was a fight That he took me out and therefore I wasn't on the show That's clearly not true Hashtag Sidney Watson's life matters There will be a fight Watch out Jack
Starting point is 00:04:22 We got Mark here who's going to be my strength and conditioning coach here and it's only a matter of time look at you some muscle we got yeah we got you we got you all right we got lydia i'm also here in the corner i'm very glad to be back from our christmas vacation we had a blast enjoyed getting out and traveling a little bit in defiance of dr fauci and all these other people trying to tell us what to do really looking forward to new year's eve i'm definitely going to be celebrating then too too.

But you can be like, Tim, I'm kidding. But yeah, shout out the show if you really do like the show. And let's get into that first big story. This one I think is actually very amazing.
Starting point is 00:05:32 From Timcast.com, Joe Rogan sold out Vancouver show canceled due to vaccine mandates. I don't even think I can get into the country, Rogan said. Comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan said his sold-out April show in Canada is unlikely to take place because of the vaccine mandates. Now, I'll tell you something. When I first saw this clip from Joe on his show where he was like, I don't think we can do the show, I was immediately like, whoa, whoa, is anybody writing this up? Are there more details on this?
Starting point is 00:05:59 So I sent it to our newsroom, which is supported by members at TimCast.com. And I was like, can you guys look into this, pull it up? And they write this story. Joe Rogan sold out Vancouver show canceled. I immediately was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, guys, guys, he didn't cancel the show. He's saying he might cancel. And they were like, no, no, Tim, don't worry. We fact checked it.
Starting point is 00:06:16 It's true. From Ticketmaster.ca, event canceled. Unfortunately, the event organizer has had to cancel your event. No action is required to obtain a refund. It will be processed to the original method of payment. Yada, yada. They go on, and that's it. Joe Rogan goes on his show, says he doesn't think he can do the show, and then we get confirmation
Starting point is 00:06:35 from Ticketmaster. The show is canceled. Good on Joe Rogan. Good for him. I don't know if he actually canceled the show out of principle. It may just be function, like he literally can't get into Canada so you can't have the show. But I think people need to start realizing this. I was having a conversation with some friends and family.
Starting point is 00:06:52 If you keep enabling these lunatics, they will keep pushing until you say no and make them understand there will be consequences for this. So this stadium, this city, you're going to lose all of that money from one of the most famous comedians in the world. Yeah, I don't know if Joe had a choice here because Canada is not allowing anyone who's not vaccinated into their country.
Starting point is 00:07:13 So there's a lot of other people like Jim Brewer who had to cancel their shows because they clearly just weren't allowed to be in Canada at all. And that is absolutely ridiculous. Joe Rogan has antibodies. He went through coronavirus. He got on the other side. He, of course, used alternatives. He didn't take the vaccine, but he clearly has antibodies within him that prevent him from getting sick from the basic understanding of it. Isn't this the goal of the vaccine? Someone said this to me. They were like, the goal of the vaccine is to trigger an immune response in your body so it produces antibodies right yeah so if you have the antibodies it's effective like what's the difference well it clearly has something to do
Starting point is 00:07:53 more with just protecting people's health and there's something larger play i'm not pretending to know what that is but the thing we need to look at now is not why he canceled it, but the fact that it got canceled and suppliers need to cut off companies or countries or venues that literally take away people's personal freedom to make a choice on whether they want to take this medical procedure or not. That's the key. By Joe Rogan doing this, it sends a message directly to their pocketbooks, directly to their ability to generate income. And at the end of the day, money is what solves this. And that's how we solve this is we cut off the supply. I think a lot of people will think about this in the sense like Joe Rogan's rich, right? So they're like, okay, he's canceling a show.
Starting point is 00:08:42 How much will this one show impact his bottom, you know, his bottom line? But I think the bigger thing is there's probably I mean, I think it's fair to say tons of smaller shows that got canceled and wiped out. We learn all about the small businesses that were shut down in the lockdowns. Now, with vaccine mandates, we've seen all of these reports from various cities about how their business drops by like 30 percent. What you're not going to hear in the news is small-time comedian who packs maybe 50 people into a room, unlike Joe Rogan who sells out a stadium.
Starting point is 00:09:10 You get one small comedian who travels around doing these comedy shows, opening acts, and his career is done. There's no more income. There's no more show. And it's whether they want to do it or not. But like I was just saying, there needs to be consequences. The problem is if this stuff keeps happening, then our culture is being ripped apart. No comedy show from Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan's literally the guy who goes up there and rags on all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:33 So if he's not doing this, then people aren't hearing it. They're getting their opinions filtered through social media. It's a tricky problem, man. I think there's probably a lot of people involved with these shows because you need to understand and people need to understand this is not just like joe shows up and a show happens i mean you've got crew you've got vendors you've got marketing companies you've got the stadium you've got insurance this is probably going to be millions upon millions maybe maybe seven or eight figures in terms of revenue going into this now gone yeah and it's the government and this yeah all nonsensical non-scientific policies even the uk government did a study saying vaccine mandates don't actually
Starting point is 00:10:12 help anything here they do promote people to get the vaccine which is uh they're all end all belief system here but but as we know here the data is still very early there's still a lot of conflicted information we don't know exactly what's going on here. But to close off from business, to close off from individuals, to restrict people's ability to travel based on this notion that we still haven't figured out,
Starting point is 00:10:33 that we still don't know the consequences of, is ridiculous. This is the problem of people complying. This is the problem of all these experts, these Democrats or otherwise,
Starting point is 00:10:42 who are telling everybody you have to abide by these restrictions, but then are caught not abiding by them, which clearly shows you want to call me a hypocrite. Fine. But these, you know, Gretchen Whitmer is at a bar. Gavin Newsom's at a restaurant. Nancy Pelosi's getting her hair done. They're not scared at all. Whatever it is they do, whatever it is they know, they're not scared of this. Now, I don't know. But if your attitude is I'm going to pass all these rules and then we're going to ignore them, you're sending a huge message to people not to take
Starting point is 00:11:10 this seriously. But are people listening to the message? You still got it appears to be a large percentage of population who listen to Fauci, who listen to Pelosi, who listen to Biden, who clearly look down on them as peasants and do exactly the opposite of what they tell us to do. So the question is, where are these people? When are these people going to wake up? When are they going to be like, hey, how come Biden's walking around and the servers are one way and he's the other way when they can't get their pizza, when they can't go to their comedy show, when they're when they're now being confronted like in Chicago, they're doing the vaccine mandate on the 3rd.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I talk to a lot of people in Chicago who are like all of a sudden, hey, man, what's this? I did everything. I was told that everything right now they're going to do more mandates. Well, that's right. Did you think you could comply your way out of tyranny? Well, it goes from the actual shots. It went from, okay, you get two and you're done. Now it's like, ah, you need three.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Israel, I think, did four, right? They're already implementing the fourth shot. Israel is going to be up to 10 by the end of the year, and it's the frigging 27th. What was that ad? There was like a billboard that was going viral. I haven't fact-checked this, but it's like an ad that says,
Starting point is 00:12:15 your COVID vaccine is like a battery. It needs to be recharged. It was in the United Kingdom that released it, and it literally said, you've got to take the booster to make sure you have immunity. And that makes no sense. That destroys the definition of vaccine.
Starting point is 00:12:26 That's not a vaccine. Well, hold on. Tons of vaccines have boosters. Like when I got yellow fever, I had to get a booster after six months. But so quickly? I mean, we're talking about how long do you have to get a booster between that? With the other one? Yellow fever.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Okay, then I was wrong on that one. Yeah. I'm like, look, I think the bigger issue is policy. It's that they promised us people abided by this. And then the terms change. It's literally Darth Vader being like the terms of the deal have changed. Pray I don't alter them further. It's like at this point you're going to.
Starting point is 00:12:53 I know you're going to. So now people are losing all faith. They're losing faith in any. Look, it's almost annoying to even bring up because we've all lost faith in this. Joe Biden coming out and being like, you need to get vaccinated now because there's a winter of death and suffering and i'm like bro your words are meaningless to me completely meaningless you can say it over and over again every single person can come out and say the exact same thing yo we're well beyond the point where those words have any meaning yeah and it's and what's happening now the point that i should have made here is that
Starting point is 00:13:20 it's the exact opposite of what they promised it would be they never said from the beginning hey this is going to be temporary it's going to to wane. You're going to need to do this every couple of months. They never said that. They said one and done. That's it. You're fine here. Just take this. Everything will go back to normal. It clearly hasn't. It clearly hasn't worked. A lot of people that I talked to, I talked to a lot of people in New York City over the last few days. They're disenfranchised. They're confused. They're like, they don't know what to believe anymore. But I think the sentiment nationally is that people are kind of sick of it. They're sick of the fear mongering.
Starting point is 00:13:48 And they have been essentially told almost every single day, they're going to die. They're going to die unless they comply. And a lot of them have been complying, but we're reaching a point where a lot of them are looking around being like, what's the point? Why should I? I'm completely burned out on all of this stuff. I got COVID. It was the worst all of this stuff. I got COVID. It was the worst sickness I ever got.
Starting point is 00:14:07 I say that a lot. It was bad. I genuinely thought I was about to go to the hospital, and then I got the monoclonal antibodies and all that stuff. I actually had medical intervention on this. It's bad. But I want to live. Out here where we are, we go to the movies. It's totally fine.
Starting point is 00:14:22 I was in Chicago, and they have a citywide mask mandate and half the people aren't even abiding by it. Not a single person ever told me I had to wear a mask or whatever. It just doesn't make sense. I walk into a restaurant and I'm like, do I really got to put this on for literally five seconds because my table is right there? And then you sit down and take it off. I'm like, what are we doing with this? I understand if you want to say there should be a mask mandate because it slows the spread. Well, then everyone should be wearing their masks the entire time they're in the building, but they're not doing it. No one's doing it. It's not being taken seriously. Now
Starting point is 00:14:55 they're, they're, they're like, okay, we're going to do a vaccine mandate for the city. Then, then, then, then what's going to happen? People aren't going to abide by it. Well, then we're just good. I guess we never did it right like there are specific protocols for how you use masks you touch it you throw it away once you touch it it's gone if they were serious if this was serious if masks i might not say max work if masked actual masks actually did what they were supposed to do there's a really great video showing they do what they're supposed to do. The problem is like even Fauci has brought this up. Very early on, he's like, you touch
Starting point is 00:15:29 it, you're getting, you know, what did he say? You're getting schmutz on it and stuff. It's like you said, it's really simple to come out and say masks work. Well, of course, doctors wear them for a reason. The problem is a bunch of people, look, I was walking through Chicago, every mask was under their nose. And no one says a word.
Starting point is 00:15:46 And I'm like, what's the point? If you're not going to actually tell people to fix it, if you don't care, nobody cared. I guess my point is everybody's just burned out on this. I'm so burned out. I'm so sick and tired of talking about it. Two years, man. Well, we're not wearing the proper masks. If we actually had N95s fitted and if you touch it, you throw it away, you wash your
Starting point is 00:16:04 hands and scrub them. And surgeons are wearing them for different reasons. In the hospital setting, they only wore them during surgery. I never had a doctor come out to me at a hospital. I spent a lot of time in the hospital as a kid because my mom would be in and out of hospitals. My dad was really sick. Never once did a doctor come out with a mask. That wasn't a thing.
Starting point is 00:16:21 They put it on to prevent getting splattered in the face by some projectile kidney fluid. Or for them spitting into a surgery. But to prevent, to actually walk around and think this is going to stop something microscopic. And N95s do, but you have to fit them right. No, no. We had this argument before with somebody because
Starting point is 00:16:39 Steve. Was it Steve? You can get COVID through spit and through aerosolized water vapors. So the masks stop the spit. Well, they stop the spit, but there's still stuff going through them. It does reduce the viral load. I will admit
Starting point is 00:16:56 to that. It's the spit. And if there's viruses in the spit. So my thing is just basically my point is this. Not medical. I really don't care to have medical arguments about donning and doffing or whatever i think you make a good point about proper it's called donning and doffing right yes when when you're how you're supposed to put it on how you're supposed to get off it's just people like literally with these nasty unclean masks my thing is just
Starting point is 00:17:17 if nobody cares anymore if people in chicago aren't abiding by it and they're like we're going to up the mandates i just don't't see how this just it's over. Like the policies, people are fed up in Chicago. I'm getting I'm hearing people complain about this saying, I can't believe how insane it's getting. I'm not going to do this. And I'm hearing people saying they're going to leave. And then we look at there's there's this graph that been going around on Twitter showing California, New York, Illinois, largest population exodus in the country. Florida and Texas, major boom in population. People are voting with their feet.
Starting point is 00:17:51 They're saying, I don't care. I'm done. I'm out. Well, they're voting and they're moving away from government because government almost every step of the way here made the situation that much worse for masks. Dr. Fauci and the CDC were telling people from the very beginning, you don't need masks. Then you need masks. Then you need two masks. Then you don't need two masks. Dr. Fauci and the CDC were telling people from the very beginning, you don't need masks. Then you need masks. Then you need two masks. Then you don't need two masks. Again, the messaging was always confusing. We never prioritized early treatment. We never talked about building up the terrain, fighting obesity, helping people's immune systems. We never talked about a lot of the issues that could have, according to some medical professionals,
Starting point is 00:18:20 really made an impact here. It always one procedure one product the vaccine always we need to do that and that that to me was was just uh a misnomer and a lot of people were asking serious questions about that specific stance last year i can't remember exactly when it was but i was listening to joe rogan's show and he started he was talking about covid again and i was like we're all locked down. It's hard to fly people and get guests. We didn't even have guests until like August of last year when restrictions started to ease. And I was listening to the show and I was like, you know, Joe has one of the biggest and best podcasts in the world.
Starting point is 00:19:03 And even he is just talking about COVID over and over again. And I'm like, are we seriously now? It's been two years. And I can't tell you how much of the content we've done is literally just covet covet covet it's just crazy to me that we're still in this matrix world of this is life this is life it's all it is all the news all the big stories is just how bad are things getting now and i'm like my we we last week you know i'm like hey luke before the show like what's the big stories and luke's like we got this on covet these protests and i'm like, hey, Luke, before the show, what's the big stories? And Luke's like, we got this on COVID, these protests. And I'm like, yo, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:19:29 I was like, I can't talk about this stuff. Let's talk about something else. Now what ended up happening is D.C., Baltimore, Philly. I'm not sorry, not Baltimore. Boston, Philly, Chicago. They all announced these mandates right before Christmas when no one's paying attention, when no one knows exactly what's going on. And I go out, I'm talking to people and they're like, wait, what's happening? And I'm like, you didn't hear? Chicago is going to require you to
Starting point is 00:19:53 get a vaccine. And they're like, I didn't know. I'm like, yeah, because people are with their families. And so all this news dumps at the same time. Everybody wants to have a good time and they want to think about fun family stuff. And here we are once again. It's been two years. I can't remember who this was. They said, Zuby, I think it was. He said, my vocabulary on COVID is officially gone. I'm not going to talk about it ever again. I don't care anymore.
Starting point is 00:20:15 And I'm like, I think it was Zuby. Maybe. I'm just like, I feel you, man. I'm burned out on this so much. Nothing's changed. I mean, things keep changing, but they stay the same in a certain way in that 15 days to slow the spread becomes three months becomes wear a mask becomes wear to mask. I get it by next year. We'll all be wearing gigantic plastic bubble suits and we'll be on our 10th booster shot. Is that where we're going? Look, I'm just going to go. I'm gonna take
Starting point is 00:20:38 care of the chickens. I'm going to skate. We've got we have a bottle of Trump champagne. We're gonna be cracking open on New Year's and and I'm going to live my life. So, Tim, here's a question back to the masks real quick. When do we get to take them off? Like, okay, we know they do. Okay, let's say they work. When do we get to let our kids see each other's facial expressions? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:20:57 What do you mean take them off? No, no, no, no, no. You got to put more on. Dr. Fauci. Dr. Fauci today said, he said, don't even consider removing your masks when you're on the flight yeah that guy's nuts at the end of the day you know you have a situation where there's always going to be some stuff floating around in the air there's always going to be
Starting point is 00:21:15 something dude i was taken down for five days by hand foot and mouth disease from going to a children's museum i couldn't walk my hands literally sloughed off. I had no fingernails and I wasn't like, man, I wish I wore a mask. And I was like, oh shoot, I got a virus. Maybe I should take better care of my health. Or maybe I should look into what vitamins prevent viruses instead of like, oh, let me cover my face and force my kids to cover their face and fly with a facial covering. That's absurd. That's insane. You know what I was thinking? I was like, we could mandate a whole lot of things to keep people safe.
Starting point is 00:21:50 I made this joke on Twitter. I was like, let's mandate morning calisthenics. I think that's great. I'm down for that. I'll even do jumping jacks. I don't care. Get rid of fast food. Let's get rid of Monsanto and GMOs.
Starting point is 00:22:03 But we've got to keep Chipotle in there. I don't know about that. Chipotle's good. It's got chicken and rice. How do you go around with chicken and rice? It's a bodybuilding staple. That's a bodybuilding... I am taking offense.
Starting point is 00:22:12 He's an anti-bodybuildite. Buildite? Yes, a buildite. I think... You know why I love going to Chipotle? Because they've got... Your meal is going to be fats and proteins. Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:23 I don't do the rice and the beans. Oh, I do the hell out of rice, man. I'll do – A whole lot of drugs in this body. Come on. I will get the peppers and onions, the chicken, and then I'll be like cheese, guacamole, sour cream. Perfect. You can make your perfect meal.
Starting point is 00:22:37 You can have a low-fat, high-protein diet. You can have a high-fat, high-protein diet. You could have – you could have a vegan diet. Like, I'm sorry, Chipotle, Moe's, Qdoba. If you're looking for fast food that can actually fit whatever diet you're on, I'm simping for those guys, man. That's some good eating.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Let's talk about what you did. Oh, yeah. So for those that aren't familiar, Mr. Lobliner, right? I'm pronouncing it right? Lobliner is good. Lobliner. You're Tim.
Starting point is 00:23:03 You can call me whatever you'd like. See, I screwed it up. So we have this box of, what do you call it? It's a whole food bar, right? Yeah, it's a whole food protein bar. It's called the Outright Bar. Sitting right behind you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:15 And you announced just, I think it was not even two weeks ago, that you were pulling out of Kroger supermarkets because of their COVID policies. Yes. And that was a decision that I woke up and I read the news and I'm like, you know what? I just can't sit back and be complicit. Look, I am not anti the word.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Not, I'm not at all. My kids all have them. I have them. But under this circumstance and situation, some people might not be able to get these. I mean, I believe Lydia, you can't get it. Yeah, they told me not to. I was told I'm not supposed to get it by my doctor.
Starting point is 00:23:51 So they're saying that we're going to penalize you for not getting this. And there's no one fighting for the employees. These guys are alone. No one's fighting for them. You got Biden's administration saying that if companies don't do this, they're killing grandma and they're complicit in whatever. You're losing money on this. I'm losing money. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:09 You say how much money do you want to keep that private? Seven figures. Millions of dollars. Kroger is huge. They're huge. They own other things like Ralph's. Like it's a segue into the other door. Wow.
Starting point is 00:24:18 We're in the final steps of the conversations. And I was like, I woke up in the morning and I ran it by my wife. Now you guys don't know me as well as my wife knows me, rightfully so. But I have a, I kind of have the tendency to do things a little rash, a little brash, you know, a little bit spur of the moment. Like I don't think things through. So I actually did. And I'm like, Katie, what should I do? She's like, this is the right decision because for me it hits hard. It hits home because being complicit when you have this kind of tyranny and this kind of fascism take over, that's what led to world war two. Oh Mark, you can't compare this to Nazis. Yes I can. Yes
Starting point is 00:24:59 I can. It's the same path. And by the way, lost my entire family to nazis in world war ii the only reason i'm here is because my grandfather escaped auschwitz and because people like me who own businesses people who can influence people to do the right thing they stood by and just said oh we'll be okay let me just take care of my family today oh i could pay my bills today i'm fine oh i got money in the bank i'm fine until the government comes confiscating and puts you on a train. And that's what happens. And if we don't stand up to government overreach like this, my goal with this was to get other companies to follow, but they have no spines and they are greedy bastards. Preach.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Bravo. Preach. Absolutely. Give me another hour. I have a lot more to say. Oh, we got an hour and a half. Oh, cool. So sitting behind, just right behind Mark is his Outright Bars, which they're delicious. Yeah, we love them. We have a bunch.
Starting point is 00:25:53 They're amazing. And it's like peanut butter, honey, and all that good stuff, protein. Yeah, it's a whole food protein bar. You did the right thing, man. You wrote a letter to Kroger saying we cannot in good conscience support this. But it's not just about what governments are doing. It's about what these businesses are doing. You stood up to Kroger.
Starting point is 00:26:08 You stand to lose a lot of money by doing it. Yes. And there are so many people who are like, I won't take that risk. Like you said, I'll just take care of my family. And what you end up with is one step at a time, things get worse. The more people are willing to tolerate, the more the evil pushes and encroaches until finally someone says, enough, I'm not going to stand for this. Look, Tim, me going on an airplane and refusing to wear a mask and getting arrested, nobody cares.
Starting point is 00:26:33 It's not going to make a change. What I want to do is make a change from this level and hopefully other companies following. That's where I'm at with this. It's like, okay, I'm one product out of thousands and thousands of products at Kroger. They don't care. They can live without the outright bar. You know what? And you know what? I'm going to be just fine. I'm going to pay my bills. I'm going to be just fine. My kids are going to be fine. But if I didn't make this stand, who's going to lead the way? Who's going to be the first one to say, Hey, I'm not putting up with this anymore. I'm not going to stand by
Starting point is 00:27:03 and watch them abuse their employees. And I'm not going to stand by and watch them abuse their employees. And I'm not going to stand by and watch the government overreach on people's freedoms and rights. Like we talked about earlier, it's not about whether the medical procedure is safe or not. It's about freedom. It's about choice. And I'm not going to stand by in the greatest country, the greatest country that ever existed in the history of this planet, and let these bastards destroy it. I'm not going to do it. Not on my watch. I saw a viral video of this nurse, or woman claiming to be a nurse, saying they fired her for not getting vaccinated.
Starting point is 00:27:37 And then they called her up. They sent her a text saying, can you come back and work because we're desperate? It's like, well, consequences, man. They brought back kairi irving yeah because the vaccinated players got sick with covid and he's the unvaccinated nurses are irrelevant kairi irving is the big loss to society right and that guy dude not only does he have tremendous game but his shoes are really nice huge fan of the kairis but what you were saying about kroger wasger was a very important
Starting point is 00:28:07 moment because they took a step further than a lot of other corporations out there. They decided to say, we have a whole bunch of people working for us, helping make this company. They put their blood, sweat, and tears into it. And we're going to set a policy that takes away their benefits away from them if they don't take a medical procedure that we want them to take, which is absolutely crazy. It's mind-boggling. And the people working for Kroger's should be thinking twice about who they're working for when they have management like that.
Starting point is 00:28:35 And there was a lot of protest against Kroger. There's also a lot of people saying Kroger wants to move into Florida. A lot of people were organizing a lot of different efforts to say, hey, we're not going to support this business. We're going to vote with our dollar. You took it to another level, which I think is commendable because you absolutely put your blood, your sweat, your tears on the line for freedom. I talk about this all the time, about how people are unwilling to sacrifice to do what's right. You did exactly that. And then some, I mean, look, man, seven figures in sales, you could buy yourself
Starting point is 00:29:06 something real nice and fancy, but instead you said freedom is more important. So you bought, you spent a lot of money, but you bought freedom at least a little bit. Well, what example?
Starting point is 00:29:14 Look, I have three kids. I have a soon-to-be 16-year-old girl, a 13-year-old boy, and another eight-year-old boy. What example am I setting to my children if I don't take a stand? What example am I setting
Starting point is 00:29:24 to my children if I don't put a stand? What example am I setting to my children if I don't put principal over profit? What example does that set for the kids that I coach at a high school level? What world do you leave behind? We leave behind a really crappy world that resembles countries that have never made it. America is the last standing beacon of freedom. We need to keep it that way. And it starts, look, I'm an idiot. I'm a meathead. Okay. I get it. I get all the jokes. I see all the comments on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:29:50 I know what you guys think about me. Okay. At the end of the day, if an idiot like me can do his part, and if you agree with, look, if you agree, if you don't agree with me, by all means, don't, don't sacrifice anything. But if you agree that what's going on now is the wrong thing, you need to – local effect can have a global change. You need to affect local. That's what you need to do. Do your part. I'm not saying do something stupid and get arrested, but I know there's something that all of us can do to help change. I'll tell you this.
Starting point is 00:30:23 One thing you can do for those that are watching is if you have a Kroger or whilst they own Ralph's and all these stores, if you don't like the policies they're implementing, do not shop there. I don't.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I go to Publix. Kroger's the closest store. Publix was really good, weren't they? I love Kroger. I do. I always went there and that's why this hurts so bad.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Also, our company, TigerFitness.com and Outright Bar, we're headquartered in Loveland, Ohio, which is Cincinnati, basically. And that's where they're located. So I actually had, you know, there were some of my colleagues who were not too happy with this decision because it's a local company. But this is about more than just Cincinnati. This is about the world.
Starting point is 00:31:01 The best layup we ever had on one of our sponsor, Ad Reads, was when Michael Malice was on the show. And I'm like, we do this shout out for our various sponsors. And Michael just interjects. He was like, guys, these companies that are sponsoring shows like this are the companies you need to be supporting because they're putting themselves on the line. We know how cancel culture works. We know that people come after companies. They're going to get them kicked out of stores or canceled off certain shows.
Starting point is 00:31:23 They threaten advertisers. You need to support the businesses that are actually putting something on the line to defend these values. So you're walking away from a fat paycheck and there's a lot of people, it kind of bums me out. But look, I should put it this way. We should be standing on the side of optimism for what you've done with your company and the things you're saying.
Starting point is 00:31:44 It can be discouraging sometimes. Like, where's everybody else? Where are the other businesses that have values that have products in Kroger are going to be like, we're going to follow suit. We're going to do the same thing. Because I'll tell you this, Salvation Army, they got called out recently because they had some critical race theory stuff on their website. How fast did they backpedal and apologize when donors started canceling saying, I will not fund this. If people start saying, if you're a good company that does the right thing, I want to be, I want to help encourage your growth. The funny thing is the left says the exact same thing and the right isn't playing the game. The left will be like, guys, everyone go
Starting point is 00:32:21 and support these companies that are companies that are engaging in practices that support our values, support these companies. And they do it. They organize. They get collective. And the right's like, eh, I don't really care. I'll go to Kroger and buy one. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:32:33 It's time to start voting with your dollars and voting with your feet and saying, I'm not going to support companies that are sacrificing us. And people need to understand, voting with your money, voting with your dollars, voting with your time, with your attention, what your voice absolutely matters to such a huge degree that if it didn't that that all hope would have been lost but there's been so many different effects there's been so many different people standing up for the right thing and there's been a huge suppression of it and and mark i i think you know you stand by these basic ideas you know this basic idea of fame and money is worthless in life, especially at the end of life, compared to, of course, your values, the life you lived, what you stood up for, and the world you left for your children.
Starting point is 00:33:13 I think that is a lot more important. And at the end of the day, even though you lost out on some money, I think you made the right decision, and I think people will support you. And I think energetically, synchronistically, things are going to go your way a lot more because of people standing up against people getting discriminated against. Because let's just say, you know, Linda was working at Kroger. He almost said Lydia. I know. I had to correct myself there. We have an ongoing inside joke here. That's another story. But like if you were working there, right, you would have had your benefits taken away right before the holiday season. You would have been denied basic access, basic help to survive in this world because of your own personal medical decisions that your doctor says you can't take. So that's absolutely insane and crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:54 And then that deserves to be protested minimally, at least with your dollars. Just for this segment, people are wondering where they can pick up. So the easiest place is Tigerfitness.com we're also available at every single vitamin shop locally if you have a grocery store hy-v-h-e-b we're available at awesome local retails natural body in new york we got everybody nutrition in huntington beach we have over we have tens of thousands of gas stations that carry our bars um we're out there we're out there and you know at the end of the day, we're doing this for the employees of Kroger,
Starting point is 00:34:27 believe it or not. It might seem like it's hurting their company. We're trying to change policy. We're trying to make it so they have no choice but to say, hey, we made an error. And then talks resume immediately. They resume immediately. I just want them to realize their errors.
Starting point is 00:34:42 And this is not a good thing. This is pro-freedom. This is absolutely pro-freedom. And also, one more thing. When you're talking about what the benefit is, when I die, and one day I will die, okay, no one's going to remember me for the car I drove. No one's going to remember me for the house I owned
Starting point is 00:35:00 or the companies I had. They're going to remember me for what I did and the actions I took. They're going to remember me for coaching at a high school level on my own time for free. You're going to remember me. The kids are going to remember me. Hey, that's the guy who taught me how to deadlift correctly. That's the guy who helped me win a state title. They don't give a crap that I did $5 million a year in Kroger. Nobody's going to care. And my kids, they're going to be just fine, but they're not going to care either Because when they talk about their dad
Starting point is 00:35:25 They're going to talk about What kind of person I was Not how much money I made One of the things I That really I've always complained about People not standing up for themselves I remember when I was younger
Starting point is 00:35:34 I had friends Friends who were servers At restaurants And they'd be like We need to vote You know this way or that way Because they need to raise The minimum wage
Starting point is 00:35:42 It's not fair We only get paid Three bucks an hour or whatever And I was like Why don why don't you quit? And my friends are back, well, I need the job. And I'm like, do all of your coworkers agree with you that you're not paid enough, that the base rate for a server is too low? And they're like, yes. And I'm like, so you mean to tell me that each and every one of you could just be like, hey, we're all going to quit unless you could strike? And they're like, oh, I don't know about that. I'm like, yo, if you were all for this, you need to just say it.
Starting point is 00:36:07 The problem is they all feel that everyone else is a coward. This person working there is like, well, I would, but then I get fired because no one else will. And I'm like, well, then you work with cowards. And if all of you, if everyone working there just said, I don't want to work in these conditions, your wages would skyrocket overnight.
Starting point is 00:36:24 And the cost of food might go up. There's repercussions here. I don't want to work in these conditions, your wages would skyrocket overnight. And the cost of food might go up. There's repercussions here. But if people are unwilling to take that stand because no one else will, then we are in a downward trajectory. If you take the stand or if anyone takes the stand, you may be the only one standing. That may be the case. But at least you voted exactly how you needed to vote. This is what I tell people.
Starting point is 00:36:44 I don't vote for party. I don't care. I don't like the two party system. Show me something worth voting for. Donald Trump last year, he did. 2016, he didn't. In 2020, I saw things I liked. I said, I want to vote for that.
Starting point is 00:36:55 I really do. And I don't like voting against people. I'd rather vote for a libertarian candidate or depending on nowadays, maybe not a green party candidate, but I would rather vote third party because I vote for what I believe in. Because if you vote for what you believe in, you've never wasted your vote.
Starting point is 00:37:10 But everybody is scared. They're scared of the other. They're scared. If I vote for this guy, then this guy's going to win. Well, then we all lose. Is that what we're going to do? No. I'm not about that. So I got a lot of respect for what you did by standing up and putting your own company on the line, putting your bottom line on the line because some things are more important.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Very. Yeah. It's no question it was the right choice. No question at all. Let's talk about how insane people are with this stuff because apparently the only news is COVID news. Yep. All right.
Starting point is 00:37:34 This is viral video. This one was awesome. Foul mouth Delta passenger who was arrested for spitting at and punching 80 year old man for not wearing a mask while he ate, despite her not wearing one either, is revealed to be a luxury real estate agent and former Raiderette. Man. So she spit in his mouth. In his mouth.
Starting point is 00:37:55 All in the name for fighting COVID. Honestly, I would pay good money to have a Raiderette spit in my mouth. Hey, hey, hey, family-friendly show. Hey, hey, hey. Family friendly show. Hey, that was a completely rated PG joke. That was good. That was one of my better ones. Thank you. I'm just going to leave right now.
Starting point is 00:38:15 That was a good one. So this lady is in this viral video. She's on the plane. And there's a guy minding his own business. And he's like eating. And she's screaming at him. Wear your mask. Why have people gone insane? I you know i think misery loves company this lady sees a guy sitting there not wearing the mask and she thinks if i have to wear it so does he and she gets mad
Starting point is 00:38:38 and so she goes up and starts screaming at him and then the fbi arrests her now she's going to go to jail there's another viral video where a guy is stalking a woman in a supermarket. And he actually says, is, does anyone else, has anyone else pissed that we all have to wear masks and she isn't? That's the mentality of these people. They are like children. They're like, well, if I have to, you have to. It's like, bro, is anyone telling you to? They're not telling her to take your mask off. There's clearly no enforcement. Well, do you there's clearly no enforcement well do you think it's that or you think it's just that people who are really bad at life suddenly have the opportunity to exert power over others because i just i the people i see doing this like you don't see dudes and i hate to be a bit like this i don't want this to sound arrogant
Starting point is 00:39:21 but you don't see dudes who are built like me going up like put your mask on no it's always little pipsqueaks with really bad facial hair it's really true so I think it gives betas a chance to feel alpha because I don't have the urge I get to bark at high school kids every day and say get your set
Starting point is 00:39:40 I don't have the urge to yell at someone without a mask I think it's lower than beta that's a part of the I don't have the urge to yell at someone without a mask. I think it's lower than beta. That's a part of the larger psychological conditioning that happened because you saw the corporate media repeat, you could be a hero. You could save lives. Grandma could have an extra year of life if you do your part,
Starting point is 00:39:59 if you wear your mask. They heard that message over and over again. They also saw grandma and old people dying in horrible, horrific ways, just broadcast to them 24-7 nonstop by the corporate media. And it's ingrained in their psychology that if someone doesn't wear a mask, they're trying to kill me. And this lady, there's reports of her being drunk, whatever it is, I think was a victim of that larger kind of mind control psychosis and she truly believed he's hurting someone by not wearing a mask. I think misery loves company. I think you have people
Starting point is 00:40:31 like Bill Maher. He went on his show and he was like I took one for the team I got two shots and now they're saying I gotta do more I'm not gonna do it.
Starting point is 00:40:39 That's Bill Maher breaking out of the mold. There's a lot of people who are scared to. So what ends up happening is they get their third shot. I've talked to some people man and the reaction was is is really strange yes i was talking to someone recently about um restrictions vaccine mandates in cities and they i didn't say anything political i was just like wow i mean it's going to be you know
Starting point is 00:41:01 i was like things are going to get interesting with these mandates and they're like who cares it's totally fine it's totally it's it's totally no be, you know, I was like, things are going to get interesting with these mandates. And they're like, who cares? It's totally fine. It's totally no big deal at all. I've got all of my shots. And I was like, all right. Like, that was a quick escalation. Like, there's an agitation in their voice. And my response was like, yeah, but, you know, some places, they're now saying, like, after nine months in Germany or whatever, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:41:21 I'll get it. I'll get it. It's fine. And I'm like, all right. Slow down, dude. Like, what I'm hearing in all right, slow down, dude. Like what I'm hearing in this is there are people who are unsure of themselves and they're scared. So they want to feel comfort knowing everyone else is in the same position they are.
Starting point is 00:41:35 So when they say I went and did this because I had to, I don't know if it was the right thing. I'll feel better if everyone else has to do the same thing, but people are refusing. I think what's happening is there are people who don't want, this is the danger of the vaccine mandates, especially when Bill de Blasio goes on TV and says, we're going to tie your quality of life to the mandate, your paycheck to the mandate. There is going to be a dude. I tell you, man, this is what worries me.
Starting point is 00:41:59 They're going to snap. There's going to be a dude who's like, I don't want to do this. I know people who vote a Democrat who are posting on Facebook, smack talking me, laughing and gloating. And people I know, then the mandate started hitting for their jobs and they're freaking out like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Like, what is going on? Do I really have to do this?
Starting point is 00:42:17 This is freaking me out. These people are freaking out. When you mandate someone get a medical procedure and get something put in their body and they don't feel good about it, this is going to cause a psychotic break in someone. They are going to have a mental breakdown. They're going to drop to their knees screaming, freaking out because you've backed them into a corner too much. You cannot push people beyond their reasonable boundaries for this long and this far. I used to work in nonprofit fundraising. We would go up to people on the street and tell them, sign up for our cause, give us
Starting point is 00:42:49 your money. One of the things I would talk to people about is reasonable boundaries. Can you get a person to do something that is unreasonable? The answer is no. It's very difficult. It takes time and conditioning. After two years and a rapid pace, people have now taken three shots many of these people don't get their flu shots they've not gotten their booster shots they live their life
Starting point is 00:43:11 and they mind their own business but now they're in a position where the government is beating them down over and over and over again what's happening this woman on the airplane she snapped she lost it she saw someone who is not experiencing the pain she experiences when the government forced her to do this. And she was angry. Why aren't you suffering like me? And so she spits in his mouth. She walks up and she spit in his mouth. Well, he had his mouth open and she spit into his face.
Starting point is 00:43:38 That's good aim. She got pretty close. Yeah. And she was very close. But I think this is people who are feeling anxiety and stress from the government forcing them to do things. They don't have the courage to say no. And so when they see someone who says no, they get angry because that's a reflection on them. You're too weak.
Starting point is 00:43:55 They're not. So they say, if I have to suffer, you have to suffer with me. Bertrand Russell once said, quote, collective fear stimulates herd instinct and tends to produce ferocity towards those who are not regarded as members of the herd. So that quote is very fitting to a lot of what's happening right now sociologically. But I think a lot of people are just in this constant state of anxiety, paranoia, fear of this larger unknown. And I think a lot of people out there play on this fear of the unknown because it works on our imagination.
Starting point is 00:44:29 It works on our greatest fears personally in our lives. And I think a lot of this has been codified by a lot of the corporate media coverage. When you see what they're saying, when you see over and over again, the messaging that they're bringing out there, it's comply, get on your knees, do as you're told, or else the worst is
Starting point is 00:44:45 going to happen to you. And that's a message that is absolutely ridiculous and absolutely one that not only induces fear, but destroys people's immune systems at the same time. Let's talk about this trope where you get a grade school bully and he's beating up the young nerdy kid. And then the nerdy kid, he's walking one day and then he, you know, he's outside of school and he sees the bully and there's his dad bullying him. You've seen this trope, right? The kid who's the bully is getting bullied. And because he can't stand up to his dad, he takes his anger out on other people and makes him feel better about himself.
Starting point is 00:45:16 That's what I think we're seeing with people like this and all of these other videos. It's people who are, who feel powerless, who want to feel that power. So what do they do? They join the mob. They grab a pitchfork, and they threaten and scream at you because it makes it feel like they're in control. Yeah, and I think both of our theories are correct. I think you have powerless, and you have people who are at a breaking point. But you also have just a bad combination of 80-year-old guy, and if you've ever talked to an 80-year-old man, they just don't care.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Like, no, don't tell him I'm 80 years old. You know, with this woman who's obviously over the top, power hungry, telling him what to do. You had two people who are not going to compromise. You had Israel versus Iraq. You know what I mean? Like you had no compromise right there. So here we go.
Starting point is 00:46:01 This dude's sitting in his chair, minding his own business. And he's eating. He's literally following the guidelines. Because look, tell you what like on planes i don't know this was a delta flight but on united they say you have to take your you have to wear your mask between bites uh they say that but i guess that's if you're flying first class they give you more leeway it's total classism oh yeah on the way on the way back from um arizona Arizona for my bodybuilding show, the woman next to me didn't have her mask on the whole flight. No drink, no nothing.
Starting point is 00:46:29 I was like, well, this is great. So I took mine off. So I think that they do treat the glasses differently. But nonetheless, nobody – look, man, when I have food or a beverage in front of me and I fly a lot, my mask is off because I'm not putting it on my chin because what if I dribble food? Like, that's just nasty. And I'll be like, look, lady, like, if I, like, dribble, like, there's food in this mask. I ain't got that many of them. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:46:55 I think it's just a horrible combination. And United, I've heard some bad horror stories. America has been really great. But United was fine today. They didn't do anything crazy they're all scared at the end of this the fact remains if you're rich you're exempt yeah basically you get a private jet well there's also ceos of american airlines and southwest that are requesting that we get rid of the masks on plane mandates and they're saying this is you know this is ridiculous and they're making arguments against the federal policy for masks on planes.
Starting point is 00:47:26 I think people are going to lose their minds. I think – have you seen these photos and videos of people at Christmas in like what they're called isolation bubbles? Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. This is happening? Yeah, bubble people. Bubble people. Like Bubble Boy.
Starting point is 00:47:39 So there's like a woman, and they built a frame out of PVC pipe and then wrapped it in plastic wrap and she's sitting in it and they're like, we're safe. Dude, people are going to lose their – people are losing their minds. That is losing their minds, Tim. Yeah. It's 100%. You can buy those plastic tanning like containers or whatever. It's like a wire frame. It's kind of like a hamper but it's bigger and you zip it open and stand inside and spray tan and it contains everything for you.
Starting point is 00:48:05 I know about spray tan. There's a woman sitting in one of those and she gives a thumbs up to the camera and it's like, you have lost your minds. Look, if you think you're sick, you don't go to a family gathering. It's just that simple. I've had many family gatherings where it's like, oh, yeah, Joe can't come. He came down with the flu. It's like, okay. But these people are living in this world where some of them aren't even sick. There's one guy and they were like, he had a
Starting point is 00:48:30 potential close contact. So he's staying outside. He had a van, opened up the back, pulled up to the window and he's sitting in his van eating so that he could be there. And I'm like, this is crazy. People are losing their minds. But what happens when it's not just that people – these people have adopted this worldview. They're choosing this and they're smiling as they do it. Now, there are people like this lady. They're not smiling as they do it. They're freaking out. Like I think we're going to see someone lose their mind and seriously hurt themselves or others because they're going to just be like, I'm over this.
Starting point is 00:49:00 There's already been a lot of suicide. What happens when someone snaps? Remember that term going postal back in the day? Yeah. When you worked in the post office, they drove you to the brink because they were such bad employers. We're basically going to see a bunch of people, quote, unquote, go postal. And it makes you kind of have empathy for the people who are kind of losing their minds because they went along with it. Now, unfortunately, I live in Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Like we literally did 15 days where I live. We're like, okay, that's enough. We didn't die. Cool. Let's go. I mean, we were having, in July of 2020, in our gym, we had a shoulder-to-shoulder packed event. And nobody cared. And the cops were there having fun with us.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Like, it was a good time. Whereas, I watch, for me to travel and to watch the news is like watching some weird movie. Because none of that ish happens where I live. None of it happens in Williamson County, Tennessee. We'll see a little glimpse of it. We'll see an occasional weirdo. But at the end of the day, man, we have wrestling tournaments. It's packed.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Out here at the casino, you can still smoke indoors. People are smoking all over the place. It's like it's the 1990s. There's no – when all this was first starting, you'd go there and they had plastic put up at every table game. And it was really weird. The funny thing is apparently with the dividers up, people were betting on the don't pass line. So for those that aren't familiar with craps – Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Are you familiar with craps? Yeah. So typically people bet on what's called the pass line you're betting for the guy who's rolling the person rolling the die to win but the don't pass line betting on them to lose is a slightly better bet typically people don't do that because it's kind of a dick move but when the dividers went up people were like i don't care you're like you're separated from me you can get mad like people just didn't care it was a weird thing. It really, really separated us. But now out here, it's all over. It's been over for a long time. There's no mandates, but there are still businesses because we're close to DC that are engaging in this. You
Starting point is 00:50:54 can tell they're more left-leaning. You go into West Virginia and people are going to be like, huh? It doesn't exist. People are just doing their thing. A lot of people have characterized it as sanitation theater, as there is some preliminary data showing that it was absolutely almost pointless when it comes to, quote, stopping the spread. And again, there's not a lot of science here. There's not a lot of data. Why aren't we collecting the data? Why aren't we investigating a lot of this? Well, it's hard to navigate that space.
Starting point is 00:51:22 But don't take it from Luke. Take it from Joe Biden, who said there's no federal solution to the COVID-19 pandemic. That means every bit of guidance, you really got to understand what Joe Biden said when he made the statement, there's no federal solution to COVID. That means everything Fauci said has been what? A lie? A waste of our time? Yeah. What do you mean there's no federal solution, Joe? No, no, no, no, no, no. Hold on. People need to understand. A lot of people are like Joe Biden's giving up. A lot of people are saying he's coming to realize
Starting point is 00:51:54 whatever it is. That statement is Joe Biden undermining the entire federal response. If there's no solution at the federal level, what have we been doing? The states have been taking guidance from you, from Fauci. You take a look at what Andrew Cuomo said when he killed all those people in the nursing home. He said we were getting federal guidance. Is Joe Biden now coming out and saying everything they did was not in the effort to produce a solution to this?
Starting point is 00:52:19 Then what are they doing? And why is Fauci still talking? Fire the guy, Joe Biden. If there's no federal solution then what is fauci doing the airlines okay no more restrictions on airlines you can have your new year's parties because we can't do any of it it's got to be the states this is this is this is much bigger than i think people realize what joe biden said this is enormous i actually learned about this today i'm like whoa because you know we're just we're in the green room doing
Starting point is 00:52:42 our thing hanging out and i'm like this is huge like, you know, we're just we're in the green room doing our thing, hanging out. And I'm like, this is huge. Like, this is literally 10th Amendment stuff, man. Like, since when do Democrats care about the 10th Amendment? Let me let me let me read some of this. OK, so I was in office. They did. Biden held a phone conference. The nation's governors Monday's COVID cases began to rise.
Starting point is 00:52:59 When speaking to Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, Biden said there's no federal solution. Quote, one word of one word of concern or encouragement for your team is that as you look towards federal solutions that will help alleviate the challenge, make sure that we do not let federal solutions stand in the way of state solutions. The production of 500 million rapid tests that will be distributed by the federal government is great, but obviously that dries up the supply chain for the solutions that we might offer as governor. There is no federal solution. This gets solved at the state level, Biden responded. So that was Asa. Biden responded, there is no federal solution. Okay. The president of the United States has said everything that they've done was not heading in the direction of a solution. It was
Starting point is 00:53:42 not solution oriented. Then why are we doing it? This guy literally ran on the platform of ending COVID. That was literally his thing. I will end COVID. And instead we get more COVID. We get more people who've had the procedure getting COVID. It didn't stop the transmission. I think we have record case, New York City accounts.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Didn't New York City, I think I read this, 25% of the positive have record case New York City accounts Didn't New York City I think I read this 25% of the positive COVID cases Are in New York City One of those vaccinated places In the country I believe that's Is it 25%? Let's look it up
Starting point is 00:54:14 I think it's 25% If I'm mistaken then I'm going to blame it on someone else Well New York is breaking records They're seeing nearly I don't know about that 25% statistic. But New York City is breaking records with massive amounts of cases. So I'll put it this way.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I want to make sure I can say something. Thank you, Joe Biden. You are correct. The solution here has always been state level. The federal guidance is proving to be inadequate, and Joe Biden has correctly pointed it out, and it was the right thing to do. And I'm glad he did because now we can take a look at Florida. Florida is doing fantastic at the state level. They have rejected early this year. I pointed out that Joe Biden came out and said, we may need more lockdowns X, Y, and Z and all the things you want to do. And I was like, he's not talking to red States. He's talking to blue States
Starting point is 00:55:03 because the red States are not listening to him. And you know what? Florida has been way better off for it. You look at the Gulf states and for some reason they have these areas that are doing really, really well. I wonder why that is. Well, so long as they are able as states to handle their own issues, it seems to be working out. And the big blue states that are just following federal guidelines executed a bunch of old people in nursing homes because they were like we're following federal guidelines well that was under trump sure but it was the governors who did it if joe biden's going to come out right now and say the fact there's no federal solution okay then fauci can say whatever he wants but it seems to be meaningless it's going to have to be state level it's going to be localized it took him
Starting point is 00:55:40 long enough and he saw did a lot of damage, and it seems like almost every action he committed, he made the situation that much worse. I just posted a meme of the Simpsons, and it's the classroom where it's all the students looking back at this one kid and says, say the line. And then Biden is in the middle, and he's like, COVID is a state issue, and everyone's celebrating and cheering. And then this is the moment that we reached, that we finally have this crescendo of the state realizing its ineptness, its inability to take care of the situation, and at least it has the ability to see that. It took a very long time. There was a lot of damage done to the average American,
Starting point is 00:56:21 but it should have always been a state issue because states, based on their populations, based on their circumstances, know what's right for their constituents a lot more than a centralized, top-down federal force that, again, boggled this response from the very beginning and can't even get testing right. Botched. Boggled. Some states just really like being told what to do. New York loves that stuff. Let's pull up PolitiFact. This is the Joe Biden promise fact checker. And one of his first promises, get COVID-19 under control. According to PolitiFact, the Biden promise tracker says this one is in the works. Joe Biden, quote, I'm never going to raise the white flag and surrender. We're going to beat
Starting point is 00:57:04 this virus. We're going to get it under control. I promise you. OK, but the fact you need to go into your Biden promise tracker and where it says in the works, put surrendered or failed, whatever. If Joe Biden's promise was to get COVID under control, but his response now to governors is, hey, don't look at us. You guys got to solve this problem. You can call it a white flag.
Starting point is 00:57:28 I think it's a fair point. Joe Biden said he wouldn't raise it, but he's certainly raising it right now. You're absolutely correct. I mean, look, you can't go and say that we need to do things federally. We need to get everybody to do this, that, and the third. And then all of a sudden be like, ah, nah, nah, this has always been a state's issue. All we've heard is like federal mandates. He gets handed the data and he goes oh we screwed up really no no no he doesn't say that he's sitting in his room and he's like listen we're working hard on this one at the federal level to get things done oh mr biden president here's your updated numbers and and we're gonna fight hard to it's a state's issue um after reviewing the data uh i've always said it was a states issue.
Starting point is 00:58:05 Look, man, if he's now admitting the right thing, I'm glad he's doing it. But this is indicative of a bigger problem here in this country. That people voted for a corporeal form. That's what the Atlantic said. They didn't vote for a man who was going to lead. They voted for a man who was not Trump.
Starting point is 00:58:21 That's it. They put him in his little wheelchair. Put the blanket. I gotta bring it up. I gotta say it. Joe put him in his little wheelchair, put the blanket. I got to bring it up. I got to say it. Joe Biden said, let's go, Brandon. Joe Biden himself said, let's go, Brandon. He is so out of it. He has no idea what's going on
Starting point is 00:58:35 that people are literally chanting, let's go, let's go, Brandon. Did I say let's go, Biden? Let's go, Brandon. Let's go, Brandon. And Joe Biden doesn't know. That's how clueless he is. How do you not know? I literally have a Christmas ornament that says, let's go, Brandon. Let's go, Brandon. And Joe Biden doesn't know. That's how clueless he is. How do you not know?
Starting point is 00:58:46 I literally have a Christmas ornament that says, let's go, Brandon. It's pretty cool. My neighbor gave it to me. Look, Joe Biden is so out of it and not paying attention. He did not know that at stadiums across the country, people were chanting, let's go, Brandon, that there's merchandise. You'd think someone would have briefed him on this. Like, like hey you need to know this is instead he gets a phone call and the guy's like merry christmas and let's go brandon he goes yeah i agree let's go brandon
Starting point is 00:59:12 it's like wow maybe he didn't know but he forgot like the guy is like 800 years old the emperor has no clothes he's got dementia he's got alzheimer's he's got every disease you could get above 80 like first of all why do we have someone that damn old in office? Second of all, like, he's not aging well. Like, look, man, I'm not a Trump guy. I'm not. Again, like you, I like him for some reason. I voted for Trump.
Starting point is 00:59:36 But, like, Trump is a really, really vibrant and healthy 70-plus-year-old, right? He's spry. I don't even. The dude got younger since he's been in office. He's been losing weight. He looks great. Biden is like weekend at Bernie's. Like, he's the walking dead.
Starting point is 00:59:52 Well, I'll put it this way. Yes. Trump, during his presidency, he was an overweight man. He was not a bastion of health. He loves his McDonald's. But wasn't he—he was on a bunch of health. He loves his McDonald's. But wasn't he? He was on a bunch of medications. He's an older guy, too.
Starting point is 01:00:08 But his mind was at least still Trump. Joe Biden is the true and anana Shaba Depressor president. We don't know what that was or why or Batacath care. I'm sorry. One thing that really gets me out of everything Biden does is that he may as well just be saying those words over and over again. How can we trust him when he comes out and says it's not a federal issue? What if he meant something else? In fact, I'll give you a really good example. It was at, I think, a UN meeting. He kept referring to Syria as Libya. Now, how do we know that? Honestly, we don't.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Journalists just told us he met Syria. Now, here's the problem. Joe Biden speaking to a bunch of nations about conflict in the Middle East. Let's say he genuinely meant to talk about the conflict in Syria. What if there's someone who's there who doesn't speak English and hears Joe Biden talk and the translator says, Joe Biden wants military action in Libya. They're going to go, okay, how, how are they supposed to know that Joe Biden made a mistake and was talking about something else? Is there translator going to come? Well, he said Libya, but he meant Syria. They're going to be like, he said, Libya, what are you talking about? Joe Biden using the wrong name of a country. Could you imagine? They're
Starting point is 01:01:15 like, we need to get a military strike today on where Libya. Okay. And they fire missiles. And then he goes like, Oh, I meant Syria. Weorse still, what if Joe Biden did not mean Syria? What if he actually meant Libya? Because his brain is trapped in 2010 because he's old and demented. And so he's standing up the UN problems in Libya, man. Yeah, there were problems in Libya with Gaddafi and maybe Joe Biden can't remember what's going on. And so he's actually thinking about a problem that's not currently happening. I mean, Libya has got its problems. The fact is, I don't even know that Joe Biden meant to say the word federal. And if these things keep happening, how can we trust a word out of his damn mouth? He could come out and be like,
Starting point is 01:01:52 we got to, we got to cure, we got to fight COVID. And he actually meant to say fight for COVID. He's actually on the side of the virus. I have no idea. What the government has been doing, there's an argument to make there. And when he would have bombed Libya, the media would have been like joe biden and slavery in africa bravely committing an act against the slave trade that was created there with the vacuum of power that's created by our first bombs now we've got more bombs there you know you know it'd been funny if uh when joe biden was giving the speech and they the media translates for him and they're like he meant to say syria okay sure maybe he did. But if he
Starting point is 01:02:25 accidentally says Libya, and that resulted in accidental airstrike on, he accidentally says Libya, and it resulted in an accidental airstrike on Libya, then the media is going to be like, this is a good thing. It doesn't matter whether it was the right country or not. They're going to be like, Joe Biden made it very fierce. They would, they would, they would find a way to argue that Joe Biden was doing this on purpose. He wasn't, in fact, demented and firing missiles at the wrong country. They would say something like Joe Biden had been secretly planning for months now a strike on militia forces in Libya to end the slave trade. So here's a question real quick. So Trump's out of office. Obviously,
Starting point is 01:03:00 the media hated Trump. Why is the media still so protective of President Biden? It's tribalism. Pure tribalism. I think people need to understand that there is an element of propaganda to it. There's some viral article going around about some leftist YouTuber actually being funded by British intelligence or something. Yeah, sure. These things exist. Of course, they do. There's information warfare. But for the most part, take a look at Brian Stelter on CNN. Count how many times he criticizes Rachel Maddow for being wrong. I can't. He blocked me.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Oh. Yeah, it's a shame. I made fun of his weight. Oh, well. He's really fat. He is, but I like to keep it to the ideas, right? Yeah. And if his idea of a good show is to be like, Fox News is bad, but literally never complain,
Starting point is 01:03:47 or I should say figuratively, never complain about MSNBC or Rachel Maddow, then he's not a real journalist. He's just, this is the, look, we can come on this show over and over again and be like, here are the things we don't like about Trump. Here are the things we like about Trump. Also, Joe Biden's crazy. And they act like that's a hyper-partisan show that's like grifting or whatever. And I'm like, dude, Brian Seltzer, CNN, MSNBC, they literally lie to your faces. We aren't Fox News. We're not repeating Hannity's
Starting point is 01:04:18 lines here. We have arguments about this stuff. But I don't think they can handle those kinds of these kinds of conversations. It has to be, it has to be completely tribal. CNN built up an anti-Trump audience. If they come out now, it's called audience capture. And they say, actually, Trump did well in these areas. Their audience would revolt. If they come out now and criticize Rachel Maddow, their audience would revolt. So they don't do it. That's it. That's the demise of their network. So, you know, it's too bad. It's too bad. I mean, that's sarcastically, it's too bad. But, you know, I wish we had better media. I think these developments prove my earlier hypotheses that the president is a puppet, that there's multinational corporations and powerful people behind him, especially
Starting point is 01:05:00 at the helms of power that truly do pull the strings, that do set the policies. And I think they're using his presidency as a lame duck presidency in order to jam through some of the most unpopular, craziest, insane policies that violate people's human rights, that destroy their ability to have any financial mobility. They're using him as this kind of Trojan horse, this docile, old, sleeping man, and they're ramming through some of the top-notch globalist insanity that that no one would ever want but but to me he's the perfect cover and an excuse to do that and i think because again he's clearly not there who else is there i believe the special interest those special interests i think are there no matter who is president and i
Starting point is 01:05:42 think that a lot of them do call the shots with a lot of the unpopular policies that are passed. They're going to update this PolitiFact fact checker and like Biden's promise tracker. And they're going to say promise accomplished. Like he meant he got COVID under control. And that's why he's saying there's no federal solution because he's already got under control. And now he's just talking about other stuff as unrelated to getting under control because, you know, he's done.
Starting point is 01:06:03 Well, this is going to be interesting because I think in a few weeks, he's going to be claiming that he's the talking about other stuff as unrelated to getting under control because you know he's done well this is going to be interesting because i think in a few weeks he's going to be claiming that he's the victor he took down covid because a lot of people now when they're getting this new omnicron variant a lot of people are building up immunity a lot of people are getting this sickness so there is a possibility here according to some medical professionals that this could be the end of covid with how virulent this virus is and how less lethal it is compared to other variants. And for a lot of people, this is the best case scenario because this signals the end of all of this.
Starting point is 01:06:34 I have to disagree with you, man. I had a runny nose once. That thing annoyed me. Yo, have you ever seen this video where they simulate a runny nose with like UV ink or whatever? And so they have a party. Oh, yeah. Everyone plays games.
Starting point is 01:06:48 And they have a very light runny nose and it's ink. And then at the end of like the party, they put a black light on. They show – this is crazy. I can't remember where I saw this. Many of you probably have seen the video. It's like you see him wipe his nose with a Kleenex and they show the black light. You can see the ink coming out. And then at the end of the day, you can see the whole room is just covered in the ink because people would be touching everything.
Starting point is 01:07:14 It's really crazy, man. Look, I got no problem saying if you're sick, don't come to my parties. Look, man, I'm sorry you can't come, but don't get people sick. Don't do that stuff. When you're sick, stay home. Like my daughter had a wrestling meet She had a little stuffy nose I'm like you're going to be grappling with people
Starting point is 01:07:31 Take the day off Go watch some Netflix Just chill When we were sick as a kid We stayed home from school That's the answer We got to talk about the news. You can use, man. This is really going to affect you guys. Fauci,
Starting point is 01:07:48 he wants to, he says, no parties. No parties. You can't do New Year's Eve parties. I'll tell you what. I'm having a New Year's Eve party. Well, we're going to fry up some steak. We're going to have some Trump champagne. And then we're going to go hit the casino because they're doing a big countdown. And they got the new barstool sports thing, I think, is
Starting point is 01:08:03 officially open. Oh, sweet. Awesome. It looks so amazing. They got wings and beer. It's going to be so much fun. But Airbnb vows to crack down on New Year's Eve parties. Quote, As we build upon the party ban
Starting point is 01:08:17 and continue to protect our community during this unprecedented time, certain holidays, such as New Year's Eve, attract higher risks of unauthorized or disruptive parties. That's why we're introducing new products and policies to crack, such as New Year's Eve, attract higher risks of unauthorized or disruptive parties. That's why we're introducing new products and policies to crack down on disruptive New Year's Eve parties, helping to protect our hosts and minimizing neighborhood disruption. The short-term vacation rental platform announced in a press release on Tuesday. The anchor of this plan is a ban on one-night NYE bookings and entire home listings for guests with a history of positive reviews. All right. Well, Airbnb.
Starting point is 01:08:48 No parties. Here's the issue. There's Vrbo. Go somewhere else. You know, we have Vrbo. It's a great little process here. If you don't like what Airbnb is doing. So is this all in the name of COVID or is this just to avoid messing up neighborhoods? I think it's to avoid messing up people's homes
Starting point is 01:09:04 because when you have parties at people's homes, I mean, you obviously destroy the property that people rent. And this could be the major factor in there because if I'm renting a property to someone, it's for them to use it like a hotel, not like a club. Yeah, so COVID, I think could be the scapegoat
Starting point is 01:09:20 because as someone who's looking into some property in Vegas, for example, yeah, I'd want to stay away from for i'd actually block that night out so i think it's a way for them to protect their properties if i look at it this way i think kovat is just the scapegoat as it is with every customer service issue i've ever had since 2020 hey man um i got this shirt and it's missing two buttons well you know kovid How the hell is that COVID? You know, it's at the end of the day. Everything, man.
Starting point is 01:09:48 I think it could be a scapegoat. We got a super chat from someone. I see it in passing where they mentioned as a flight attendant, they were saying most people they know don't have COVID. But they're reporting the reason all the flights are getting shut down and canceled is because people are calling in sick with COVID due to the surge. Sounds like at least from this one employee in their bubble, it's people just calling out using COVID as an excuse. They said, when we claim we're sick with COVID, we don't get in trouble. Really? There's a meme going around showing a test and someone drawing in the lines saying, this is how I make sure I don't work on New Year's Eve. And there might be some of that.
Starting point is 01:10:29 There might be people faking their tests. They're just saying, hey, I'm sick here because they don't feel like working. As of course, that's been the overall trend for this year. A lot of people saying, I just don't want to work. I don't want to work for a company and make dollars that are going to be absolutely worthless as their value keeps declining almost every single day. I see all these photos and videos of Democrats, for the most part, not wearing masks. Now, look, there are Republicans who don't wear masks, too, but they're the ones who come out ragging on masks and mask mandates. So I'm like, OK, well, that's in line with what they've been saying.
Starting point is 01:10:57 When you see these Democrats come out like Whitmer, like Newsom, like Pelosi, like even Fauci at that baseball game where his mask turned down. And I'm like, these are the ones who are coming out claiming we need this. How much do you want to bet they didn't get vaccinated either? No joke. I think they haven't gotten vaccinated. It's weird because that's like me doing my whole health and fitness IFBB Pro thing and coming out and them having that. Remember that video of Arnold like topless and it was really a mess?
Starting point is 01:11:22 It's like, oh my God, what happened to Arnold? It's hypocrisy. Before the show, Mark was eating a big thing of nacho cheese. I was eating like green. Remember Winnie the Pooh with the honey? Just spoon feeding it with my freaking hands. By the way, I would like to say I've gone an hour without saying a curse word. It's a record.
Starting point is 01:11:41 You spent time with me today. You got it all out earlier. When we're in the members only segment, you'll just erupt. Wait till you see my fans only page. A litany of purses. Hey, you got to make money, man. So I got to make up for the Kroger thing. So I'm doing an only fans page.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Nice. Just kidding. Please don't. So what were we talking about? We were talking about Airbnb cracking down. And I said, I think Democrats are faking. They're lying about getting vaccinated. I absolutely think there's a lot of people not getting it who say they are getting it.
Starting point is 01:12:12 I know personally people who have doctor friends who give the injection to an imaginary spot next to their shoulder. I know multiple people doing that. Look, when you start mandating things, you get people faking things when they don't want it. You get counterfeits. And these are real cards. They're just not getting the needle in the arm. I just think if there are Democrats who are going to go on TV and be like, everyone's got to wear a mask, and then they don't. It's horrible.
Starting point is 01:12:37 I also think the same kind of people are going to be like, everyone's got to get vaccinated and then don't. Well, ethics and hypocrisy, you can't. Once you cross a certain ethical line, you've crossed that line. So it becomes your norm. So that's why you have to have those lines you don't cross. So once you start lying about one thing, I tell this to my kids all the time,
Starting point is 01:12:58 if you're lying about masks, you're doing something else, then you can be like, well, I could do this against this too. Or I could do this about this too. And that's why I'm always one of those practice what you preach. If you don't believe it, don't say it kind of guys. Unfortunately, politicians are not the cream of the crop. You know, the cream of the crop is us. We're in the private sector. We're building businesses. We're employing people. And we probably have higher than average IQs. The people in Washington, D.C. and politics, they're complete morons. Have you ever
Starting point is 01:13:26 talked to these people? They're dumb. Have you seen, there's a DCist put out a tweet. I don't know if you guys saw it. Oh yeah. And it said, this is what D.C. will look like if global warming stays on this path. And it showed D.C. flooded. And my response was, I'm not sure if this is pro global warming or anti-global warming. Yeah. Just – I'll leave it there. These people aren't – that's why I'm like when I see these – well, they're Pelosi and Biden are – I'm like, dude, these people are dumb. Like they're not the smartest people. If you've ever seen the movie by Chris Bell, Bigger, Stronger, Faster, they literally – there was a guy, I think it was Waxman, who was a senator or a congressman in California who voted for the Steroid Act, whatever, to make him illegal.
Starting point is 01:14:13 And when they asked him what steroids were or something, and he had no clue what he voted for. Let's talk Second Amendment. He didn't look into it. Oh, God. So these people, there are people who read into it like Marjorie Taylor Greene. She believes what she's saying, and she's well-educated and versed on what she's doing. Thomas Massey, that's the guy right there. Rand Paul as well. These are smart people, but you look at a lot of these people, they don't even show up for votes. They had that one,
Starting point is 01:14:38 MTG called him out. Marjorie Taylor Greene called him out. Where my own senator from Tennessee didn't show up to a vote on justices, I believe it was. And it was horrible. And I'm like, oh, nobody from Tennessee is going to be on that list. And then there was a senator that I really, really like who no show. Your job is to vote. You don't even work that much. Yeah. Go vote. How many months are the in session? It's like they're out most of the year and then they show up for a little bit.
Starting point is 01:14:59 It's disgusting. It's disgusting the way this has gone. And we just have a bunch of weak people who are funded by a bunch of really rich people making the laws and people like us like i was explaining earlier i'm not gonna run for office i can't handle that yeah because i'll be punching people on the floor and i will never make it past a camp an election campaign i won't make it i'm not built for that instead i'm gonna affect the local level i'm gonna coach kids but the smart people are out there like elon musk you don't think that man could run a country like he's sending people to space he's building generators like okay i think you need decentralized power i'm not i'm not i think elon musk can send people to space i think you can make an electric
Starting point is 01:15:39 car but i don't know about telling people effective policy. He's also working on brain chips. Can he do better than Nancy Pelosi? No, he could, for sure. I mean, look, man, my eight-year-old son can do better than these idiots in office right now. Well, it's because they're self-interested. Yes. You could take some local custodian. As long as he's interested in doing
Starting point is 01:16:00 the right thing for his neighbors and the country, he would do an infinitely better job than any one of these politicians. Absolutely correct. You've got a small handful out of the hundreds of members of Congress, a small handful. You've got like Rand Paul, Thomas Massey, people who actually believe what they're doing and look into these things and actually stand up. Most of them.
Starting point is 01:16:19 It's really funny when I'm reading about members of Congress and I'm like, I have no idea who that is. It's like, oh, someone's being criticized for not doing their job. Like, who are these people? How are they even on any party? They don't do anything. Sociopaths.
Starting point is 01:16:30 There's a reason. The most amount of sociopaths per capita are in Washington, D.C. And I want to go back to your original kind of point here, talking about how 25% of the cases are from New York, as according to the latest Google statistics from yesterday, there was 54,828 cases coming from the state of New York, specifically in New York City. Nationally, there was 189,714 cases.
Starting point is 01:16:57 So that's about 25% coming from New York City, specifically themselves, according to the statistics provided by Google. So I believe if it was Florida, it would have been a totally different story. If 25% of the cases came from Florida, the media would have been talking about it obsessively. But, of course, they're not. But, again, a lot of these people who are calling the shots are working with the politicians, are working with the corporate media. And to me, there's more about pushing an agenda, pushing a narrative than the truth.
Starting point is 01:17:26 And these people are not here to serve you. And that's why it's very easy to say that anyone could do a better job than they will because it's obviously true. Because when you have someone who is there serving the special interests, they're of course are doing everything not to your advantage.
Starting point is 01:17:41 So what they're doing is deliberately trying to screw you over and they are. I love how Pelosi was like, we should be allowed to trade stocks. So what they're doing is deliberately trying to screw you over, and they are. I love how Pelosi was like, we should be allowed to trade stocks. She was asked about it, yeah. Yeah, they were like, we should not – you should block members of Congress from buying and trading stocks. You're like, no, we're private individuals. We can do this.
Starting point is 01:17:57 And it's like, oh, okay. But you're not a private individual. You're a public servant. They know there's a vote coming up. The lobbyists come to them and say, hey, if if this bill passes bad things will happen to this company and she goes you know and then these politicians can be like i'm gonna short this company and then vote yes and then they make tons of money because they are in control of it is corruption it's how are these people so rich like biden's worth tens of millions of dollars it's not from speaking engagements like how that's the question you need to look at like gee i wonder you need to look at these people and they've been in like he's been in off like i'm
Starting point is 01:18:30 his whole life 47 48 years um bernie sanders didn't really have a job till he was in his 40s he was my age when he finally got a job what job government no yeah i'm pretty sure bernie never had a job outside of government so so look at it this way. They're getting the money from somewhere and it's not the 170K a year they're getting from us. So why are they multi, multi, multi, multi, multi millionaires? And why aren't we mad? Like, why aren't we throwing chairs? We should be throwing chairs. We should have a national throwing chairs day and just start throwing chairs. Because at this point, it's insane that nobody's mad. Why am I the only one mad at this? I think a lot of people are just either not paying attention or they just think they're
Starting point is 01:19:13 going to comply their way out of this. Well, a lot of people believe the other side is so much worse. Picking between the lesser of two evils, people have been convinced that their side is better when in reality, they're looking at absolute crap either way of the spectrum. But look, look, I see it all the time on Twitter where these Democrats are like Republicans did this or that in 2008. And I'm like, you really think Republicans today have anything in common with Republicans back then? I mean, there's people like Mitch McConnell for sure, but everybody hates him. You know, so I think the problem is people who don't read and people who do. I should say the tribes are.
Starting point is 01:19:46 You've got the uninitiated people who live in Wally world on CNN and the people who actually challenge the narrative and are reading and trying to figure out what's really going on. But let's jump to this story, my friends, because none of it matters. None of it matters. It's happening. From the New York Post, NASA hired 24 theologians to study human reaction to aliens. The official narrative, I guess, or not official narrative, but what people are saying is basically that NASA is trying to figure out how different people of different faith backgrounds will react to the knowledge of intelligent alien life in our existing. The first thing I'll say is it's strange
Starting point is 01:20:23 to me that there are people who believe aliens don't exist in this massive of a universe as big as it is. There's got to be life somewhere. You know what I mean? Now, whether or not I can travel the universe and come here and interact with a different story, the New York post reports between heaven and earth, where do aliens fit in? That's the question. NASA hopes theologians at the center for theological inquiry in Princeton, New Jersey can answer university of Cambridge, religious scholar, Reverend Dr. Andrew Davison, who also holds a doctorate in biochemistry from Oxford, is one of the 24 theologians enlisted to help. His upcoming book, Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine, due out in 2022, will cover part of the CTI and NASA's joint spiritual exploration. There's a question.
Starting point is 01:21:06 Is it really happening? You know who really gets credit in all this? Scientologists. They've had this right all along. They believe that aliens came down and the Church of Scientology wins. Oh, yeah, there's aliens. Absolutely. And whether they came down or not, but literally, like, what was it? In 2020, they're like, the government's like, dude, there's UFOs.
Starting point is 01:21:29 We don't know what they are. Yeah. People are like, meh. And the only one I saw really getting a, like, if I was a kid, like, and you told me that aliens and the Loch Ness Monster were real and Bigfoot, I'd have been the most, I'd be running around the block naked telling everybody about it, right? Like, now, it's like Joe Rogan was the only one like, dude, there's aliens. And that was it.
Starting point is 01:21:50 And nobody cared. There's absolutely aliens or UFOs. When you have the government promoting the idea of aliens and Neil deGrasse Tyson, I just automatically think that they're preparing for the next PSYOP. I mean, the corporate media, the government, aliens, aliens, aliens. It used to be just people outside of the box talking about this, but now it's the establishment saying there's aliens out there, there's something out there
Starting point is 01:22:10 that defies the laws of science, that defies the laws of physics. We don't know what it is. That's absolutely mind-boggling. So is Neil deGrasse Tyson now a part of the establishment? I think so, absolutely. He's completely changed his tune from... That dude's smart. I think he, absolutely. He's completely changed his tune from – he's a – that dude's smart.
Starting point is 01:22:25 Yeah. I think he's getting paid. Have you guys ever read Watchmen, the graphic novel? I have not. So it's different from the movie, and the graphic novel is more relevant in this regard. In Watchmen, the bad guy simulates an alien attack to force global unity because it's the height of the Cold War, and Russia and the U.S. are going to file missiles at each other and nukes. And so he stages an alien invasion, convinces everybody we have to unify to fight against it to stop war, right? Maybe that's the PSYOP.
Starting point is 01:22:53 Convince everybody of the world that we need one world government because of an alien invasion. You ever see Independence Day? I was just about to bring up – I think they did this movie with Will Smith before. Right. So Independence Day is all the different countries are trying to they're all independently fighting these aliens and then they're like send send out the word you know here's how you take them out or whatever we're going to do a virus in the sequel they did the whole planet is a unified it's one world government unified military moon military base in case the aliens come that i think is is a lot of people thought
Starting point is 01:23:26 covid would do this that this this this you know a universal threat would unite everybody i'm not convinced i think if they actually did discover aliens the left and the right would react and hate each other over it and it would become another tribal issue well we have to explain why the government for decades and decades was like aliens aliens don't exist, you're crazy, you're a conspiracy theorist, you're out of your mind if you do, and then they just officially changed their stance. Like, oh, yeah, they exist, they're out there. Why?
Starting point is 01:23:53 What was behind this larger stance that essentially was 180 degrees in the opposite direction? So obviously a lot of people have those questions. Did you hear Alex Jones recently? When he went on that rant and was like, I can't do it anymore. He's like, I'm going to go to prerecord and just leave. And he was saying, he just started yelling and he was like, an alien intelligence is running this show or whatever. And I'm like, okay, look.
Starting point is 01:24:20 Part of his rant was that he was mad people weren't standing up to tyranny. But then he mentioned alien intelligence controlling everything. And I'm like, okay, now you lost me. Alex Jones has a tendency to do that. But it's funny because then we get this story about NASA hiring theologians. There's an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation where Picard and the Enterprise crew are making first contact. In Star Trek The Next Generation, the Federation only contacts civilizations once they discover warp technology. Because it means
Starting point is 01:24:52 they're about to start traveling the stars and go to other planets, and they'll soon be interacting with life in the universe. So they come to this planet where they just invent warp. And they're like, you need to consider what this will mean for your people and your planet. And the president of the country they go to basically says we're a deeply religious people this is too much for us too soon people would lose their minds if they discovered this
Starting point is 01:25:13 hence the new york post talking about theologians and needing to better understand this because i think a lot of people might lose their minds if aliens were here then the assumption is aliens are here they are involved and everything that's happening is related to some like alien contact or something. We just don't know it yet. Well, here's the thing. The government can literally say
Starting point is 01:25:31 the opposite thing of what they said yesterday and people believe it. Fauci literally came out and said, you don't need to wear masks. Don't need to wear them. They just get dirty. And then he's like,
Starting point is 01:25:41 schmutz, wear like three of them. And people are like, yes, science. All the government has to do is say aliens, science. And people will be like, oh. They will forget. People are dumb.
Starting point is 01:25:54 Like the Twitter generation, I say this because it's like there's no history. Like it's the news cycle is like one minute. People have no short-term memory. It's like they smoke too much weed. People are just, they don't remember anything. And this no short-term memory. It's like they smoke too much weed. People are just, they don't remember anything. And this is long-term. Like Area 5th, was it Area 57 or Heinz 57? Which is Area 51?
Starting point is 01:26:10 51. Heinz 57. It's delicious. But anyways, can you tell I'm hungry? So at the end of the day, I think that people don't know about that whole alien thing. Like my generation was all about aliens. Aliens was my life. I'm like, I read books on aliens and I was like going to the library.
Starting point is 01:26:30 Remember libraries? We had those. I went to library. I check out these books on aliens. These kids don't remember that. Like, for example, my wrestling team were out of tournament. I'm like, dude, beat that kid up. Like Hulk Hogan.
Starting point is 01:26:40 Like who's Hulk Hogan? I'm like, you don't know who Hulk Hogan is. They have no idea about the alien stuff that went on. it'll be dudes like us who are too old to care like i'm 41 i think a crazy 41 year old talking about aliens gonna get anybody excited when they were talking about ufos and no one really cared i was like that's kind of it right yeah they're gonna keep trickling out stories like this to desensitize people and then in like two or three years if i'm if they're really aliens i'm not saying there are they'll have to slow people, and then in like two or three years, if there are really aliens, I'm not saying there are, they'll have to slow roll it.
Starting point is 01:27:07 And then eventually one day they'll be like, oh, we saw a spaceship. No, no, no. Sorry, go ahead, finish it. No, no, that's basically it. Eventually they'll be like, hey, this is B-Borp. He's really the one running, calling the shots here. He was really under President Biden's skin. Trump's going to be like, B-Borp was the greatest president ever.
Starting point is 01:27:23 Everyone agrees, at least that's what I was told. If you don't believe in aliens, I just want you to look up the name Lori Lightfoot. Man, that is a specimen right there. You look at what's going on, and I think a lot of people want to believe in aliens
Starting point is 01:27:35 because you look at this seemingly coordinated effort that's been happening around the country. Some people think it's, you know, the Illuminati or whatever, but Alex Jones was yelling. It was like an alien intelligence controlling all this stuff, and I'm like, yo, I don't know about any of that stuff because it would mean that Ron DeSantis isn't working with the aliens or something, so there's no coordinated alien.
Starting point is 01:27:53 I don't know, man. There's a lot that the government knows that they're not releasing, that they're not getting out there to the general public that still is classified, which is ridiculous. I mean we should at least know what's going on, but we should also be prepared for a potential PSYOP and for them to weaponize and use that information for their own benefit and their larger power grabs. It's a great distraction, right? There's no evidence we've got aliens coming to Earth. There's Vermeer's paradox.
Starting point is 01:28:16 There's a lot of speculation about it, but I think it's funny to see these stories. It's fun to talk about absurdity. At least, at least, aliens are in the realm of possibility unlike Don Lemon asking about whether or not an airliner
Starting point is 01:28:29 was sucked into a black hole. Could there be aliens? Yes. Astronomically abysmal odds that anything like this has ever, you know. I'll tell you what's infinitely more likely
Starting point is 01:28:39 is that the government needs distractions. Yes. They need the people to get whipped up in a frenzy. If aliens ever came, the first thing I think is like, is that a government projection of our vehicle is it a
Starting point is 01:28:48 drone are they just trying to screw with us because i look until i see beat borp come out and then walk up to me and go i'm gonna be like i don't believe it i don't believe it i'll never believe it until i see beat borp himself yeah i'm a whole not hope man beep borp 2024 vote for him and satisfy the lizard people so the aliens working with the lizard people that's the question the aliens are the lizard people no no the lizard people are from hollow earth
Starting point is 01:29:17 okay isn't that stranger things I'm so confused I love these you these deep dive rabbit hole websites. I was reading one that claims there was a very intelligent species of dinosaur that fled into caves when the extinction
Starting point is 01:29:34 event happened and survived. They've been evolving for millions of years, so they're substantially more advanced than humans in their own underground cities. There are people who believe that stuff, man. They believe there are underground cities of futuristic aliens. I'm sorry, they're in underground cities and there are people who believe that stuff man they believe they're underground cities of futuristic aliens you know not i'm sorry they're terrestrial but like lizard people or whatever it's a it's crazy what was what was it oh yeah i was watching the simpsons there's a clip when um bob dole and bill clinton are king and kodos
Starting point is 01:29:57 and then homer simpson's like your your politicians are actually green space lizards and i was like is that where the conspiracy came from? Or were they making fun of the conspiracy? Because it was like pre-internet, you know? A long time ago. A long time ago. Like the Simpsons have gotten more things correct. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:16 It's true. Of all the things to get right, it's going to turn out that politicians are actually alien lizards? I'm not. Dude, like here's the thing about 2020 and 2021. Nothing surprises me anymore. Like I used to be like, I can't believe that. Now I'm like, yeah, okay, cool. It's Thursday.
Starting point is 01:30:33 You know, it's like you just – you see the most absurd things happen. People say the most absurd things and it just happens. And you're like, oh, it's just normal now. There's a super chat here by Julie Simone that is relevant to the argument we had about the yellow fever single shot dose, saying that according to the CDC, it is just a single dose. I went to a doctor and he said it's a subcutaneous injection and you have to come back after six months. And that if you get the second shot after six months, it provides immunity for 10 years. That's what I was told when I went to the doctor. But not every six months. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:31:11 You get the shot, then you come back for a booster at six months, and then it's good for 10 years. At least that's what I was told. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go to Super Chats. If you haven't already, smash the Like button. Subscribe to the channel. Go to TimCast.com.

Oh, it is bubbling to the top. It is just like a volcano ready to erupt of F-bombs and S-bombs. I might even drop a few C-bombs. You guys got to join us.
Starting point is 01:31:43 Q-bombs and R-bombs and A-bombs. I'm going to make up words. H-bombs. We're even drop a few C-bombs. You guys got to join us. Q-bombs and R-bombs and A-bombs.

Starting point is 01:31:55 You sure they're not talking about me? I always skip arm day. I only skate, so it's all leg day. Oh, cool. That's fine. Dude, you're the opposite of everybody. It's true. Yeah, that's the funny thing about people opposite of everybody it's true yeah that's
Starting point is 01:32:05 the funny thing about uh people who skate is they have like all the muscle mass on their lower body and none on their upper body so their center of gravity is a lot lower which is interesting because skating requires you want to keep your center of gravity low for balance and stuff i just thought that was funny it's like everybody does their arms and they skip leg day actually trained legs right when i landed today and um man it was it's just like at 41 you don't just get off the plane and train and i didn't know better than that i felt my age today all right we got samuel here he says i miss ian it's not the same without him still a great episode love you guys and hope everyone had a good christmas i had a great
Starting point is 01:32:41 christmas how was your guys's christmas really awesome. Oh my God. Best Christmas ever. I went to a house at a Christmas party and they had a plate full of jalapeno poppers. It was jalapeno sliced in half, filled with cheese and wrapped in bacon. I ate eight of them. It was just so good. I couldn't stop.
Starting point is 01:32:58 It was just too good. Two good poppers. We did on Christmas Eve, it was actually we celebrated, we went bowling. It was so much fun because there's this place, King's Bowl in Franklin, Tennessee. And it was just they have music. They had this like cool techno like Christmas music.
Starting point is 01:33:14 And I really like my kids. So we had a good time. I never get to spend time with like all of them. It's always like one going to a soccer tournament here or there. And it was just good to spend time with my family and put my phone away. Yeah. great. Kyle Miller says, Tim, just a reminder that Trump Towers in NYC and Chicago
Starting point is 01:33:30 were used in the filming of the best Batman film, The Dark Knight. Yes. And Lower Wacker. They called it Lower Fifth in the movie. I was staying at Trump Tower because I had to. Yeah, you did. You got it.
Starting point is 01:33:40 They've got hotels all over. I'm like, no, I don't want Trump, right? I want to go there and I want to see what it's cracked up to be. And Seamus was hanging out with us because he was in Chicago with his family. And he was like, we walk in, you know, I tell him, hey, come over. We're going to hang out. And he says, can I have these M&Ms at the mini bar? I'm like, yeah, sure.
Starting point is 01:33:56 And he opens up the box. Inside the silver box was just a regular bag of M&Ms to which he then eats. And then I checked the pricing and it was $7. Wow. Now look, look, a lot of people were like, Tim, that's normal for mini bars. Well, hold on. I have been to many different hotels in my days. And I will tell you this, most of the ones I've been to, and I've been to like the Intercontinental and the Four Seasons and things like that, they will have M&M, but they won't be called M&Ms. They'll be called like Madam Pomfrey's Magical Chocolate Delights, and it'll be like in a
Starting point is 01:34:31 little glass jar wrapped in a bow, and it'll come from a local confectionery or something like that. Yes, there are places you go where it's like the minibars of Snickers and M&Ms, but they're not $7. Trump, once again, screwing over the American people for the benefit of the multinational corporations. No, I felt like it was perfectly Trump. I'm too white trash to stay at those kind of hotels. Where I'm from, we get free water because we're frequent stayers.
Starting point is 01:34:54 Shout out to Hilton. And yeah, they give you free water. You get to choose one of like five snacks. You get the beef jerky. That's good stuff. They give you at the minibar a bottle of Trump wine. Trump wine. Cabernet Sauvignon, however you pronounce it, from Trump Winery.
Starting point is 01:35:09 And we decided to bring it to one of the family gatherings, and it was a hit. Everybody loved it. No joke. I didn't even get to try it because they cracked it open, and everybody just went nuts. They annihilated that Trump wine. And I was like, wow, must be good. I need some Trump wine. But then I did get to try it when we went back. They had more, and I was like wow must be good i need some trump wine uh but then i i did i did get to try when we went back they had more and i was like i gotta try this people
Starting point is 01:35:29 really love the trump wine but here's the thing i was like if i bring this to a family gathering are they going to get angry or are they going to laugh because those are the two outcomes there is no circumstance in my opinion in which someone goes wow a trump this is going to be fit everybody laughed and they were like oh you, you're bringing a Trump wine. And it was funny and it was silly. And then they really, really liked it. But there was no person who was like, oh, I'm impressed. Wow.
Starting point is 01:35:54 A Trump 2018. This is amazing. No, I just thought it was funny. Nobody, nobody got mad about it. But there were some people who are like, I think some people might get offended. You know, you got to watch out. It's family time. And who would get offended by wine it's anti-trump never trumper people are gonna be like what are you doing you know i just like biden if you bought me some biden wine i'd be like cool wine yeah you know i do think most people regardless of the left
Starting point is 01:36:19 or right would have a sense of humor about it but you never know some people yeah they get triggered man just cuz says toss away authoritarianism like it's a seven dollar bag of m&ms i made a video where i opened the box and i'm like it's a bag of m&ms and then i throw it and someone commented yeet in all caps they were they i guess they really liked the video i just threw it on the ground i was like ah seven dollar m&ms we did not eat the second bag but i'm they probably charged it charges anyway let's see we got kyle ellis says tim people in chicago don't care about mask mandates because chicago is clearly maga country yep now that's the crazy thing though i mean obviously it's not maga country but people there were just not having it yeah it's funny when you go into places and
Starting point is 01:37:02 some people just do it and some people don't. But when I walked into the hotel and it's like there's a big sign saying like you have to wear a mask. And first of all, I'm like, I don't have one. I don't. And they were like, well, we can get you one. And I was like, the elevator is right there. And the amount of time it takes you to go and get me the mask versus me walking to the elevator, I'm going to beat you to the elevator. I'm going to be in my room.
Starting point is 01:37:23 What are we supposed to do? Seriously, I don't have one. Should I wait outside while you go get it? There was no speech like that. It was just, that's my mentality. I walk in and the guy's like, we can grab one. I'm like, I'm going to walk to the elevator. Okay. You walk to the elevator. But I came down, the front desk had them. I kept them in my pocket. No one said anything to me, though. There were some circumstances where I wore it because I don't think it's that big of a deal. But the problem I have with it is the logic. It's like walk into a restaurant for literally five seconds. I'm not even exaggerating. Five seconds. I open the door and there's a table 10 feet away and I go one, 1,000, two, and I sit down and take it off. I'm like, why did that happen?
Starting point is 01:37:58 Well, logic and science obviously don't mix. Science. That's all you have to say. All right. Narzana says during small talk with a coworker today, she mentioned that her sister wouldn't come to dinner with anyone who was unvaxxed. My coworker said, we'll never go back to normal. People are demoralized. And that's why I say civil war so often. Yeah, I've heard the term national divorce.
Starting point is 01:38:21 I don't know how that work logistically. And I've heard you explain your side of it. And honestly, I think we already kind of have a national divorce. You have people moving from blue states to red states. But these are just more freedom-minded individuals. So the ideological polarization is becoming geographical polarization. Yes. That precipitates civil war.
Starting point is 01:38:44 Yeah, you're right. It's funny, man, because I keep saying stuff like this and everything. There are people who get mad about it. And then it's like, OK, after the Chaz, after the George Floyd riots, after the George Floyd autonomous zone, after January 6th, like how much more do people need to be like this country's on the verge of falling apart? And then you get Bill Maher, who's like, but the Mason Dixon line would go through Nana's kitchen Because the point he's trying to make is that our ideological split is internal with our families. Now you have this graph showing California, Illinois, and New York with a mass exodus to Florida, Texas, and other similar states.
Starting point is 01:39:19 And that is the ideological polarization of Nana's Kitchen turning into geographical polarization, which deepens the ideological polarization because the echo chambers are becoming more intense. And when they do, people start becoming much, much more tribal and angry. And then there is a gap that cannot be bridged. It is happening. Maybe, maybe it all ends right now.
Starting point is 01:39:40 And the Proud Boy, Enrique Tarrio walks up to the leader of an antifa whoever that would be and they shake hands and they hug and they cry and say it's time to stop fighting we now are coming together for the sake of america is that going to happen are the proud boys going to walk up to antifa and shake hands and sing and hold hands and hold hands on a rainbow it's the opposite i got people on social media dming me because i actually took a stand against something saying that you know their uncle or their grandma won't let them come over because they're not vaccinated. So you got people who might do it.
Starting point is 01:40:10 I mean, you might have been vaccinated. Well, if you're yeah, if you're not, if you're if you're not vaccinated, you cannot go there. OK, so, you know, we have a situation where you might have families to be like, screw it. I'm going to take out grandma. Oh, man, I hope it doesn't come to any of that stuff. Oh screw it, I'm going to take out grandma. Oh man, I hope it doesn't come to any of that stuff. Oh no,
Starting point is 01:40:27 I'm definitely hoping it doesn't. But people, people in their own families are fighting with each other. They're hating each other. They're disowning each other. Yep. It's,
Starting point is 01:40:35 it's, it's unlike anything I think I'd ever see or something as stupid as this. But here we are. It's, look, the example I like to bring up
Starting point is 01:40:43 is when I went to the Peace Wall in Belfast, in Northern Ireland. And you're familiar, the example I like to bring up is when I went to the peace wall in Belfast in Northern Ireland and you're familiar with the troubles in Northern Ireland. Oh yeah, it's been going on since the beginning of time.
Starting point is 01:40:52 But it's toned down quite a bit. Oh, a lot. But on one side of the wall it's pro-Israel and the other side it's pro-Palestine and for seemingly no reason. Like, why do the people
Starting point is 01:41:00 of Northern Ireland have a concern about the plight of Israel? Because one side adopted one issue and the other side took the opposite stance. That's what's happening in the US. Like we have already the rugged man on the show. And I literally say to him, I agree with you about racism. I myself have been a victim.
Starting point is 01:41:17 And his response is to insult me and deride me and then go on the Young Turks and they do the same thing. Quite literally, me saying, I agree with you on these problems of systemic racism, and I understand a little bit of it, turns into a tribal mockery, because it doesn't matter what the issue is. This is the challenge, I say, why I don't think there's a way out of this. If there are many people on the right who constantly, constantly, Ben Shapiro comes out, everybody, you know, the vaccines are great, and they're safe and effective.
Starting point is 01:41:44 Ben Shapiro says it. They mock him. They insult him. And they call him an anti-vaxxer. Donald Trump comes out in an interview with Candace Owens and says, the vaccine's great. It's a huge accomplishment. Everyone should get it. And then the left acts like it's the first time Trump ever said this. Yo, if there are people who are constantly trying to reach on an olive branch and the other side is swatting it away over and over again, I don't see a path out of here. Let's read some more. I'm with you. All right. The Meaning of Nerd says,
Starting point is 01:42:09 Hey, Tim, I'm the guy who asked if I could use your song and make a philosophical analysis on it. Wanted to let you know that I made the video now and I'm really proud of it. It's a short video, so I would love it if you would check it out. Just search the philosophy of Tim Pool's Will of the People. I will. Check it out.
Starting point is 01:42:22 He's writing it down. I am writing it down as we speak. Confirmed. He's writing it down. Yep. I will will check it out he's writing it down i am writing it down as we speak confirmed he's writing it down yep i will check it out all right let's see what we got here jn says when has government kingdoms relinquished or rolled back power tim you got discernment read mark 24 and thessalonian and revelations all books in in the Bible. The book is future-proof. Yeah, there's nothing more permanent than a temporary government program or policy. Well, isn't the stuff you go through
Starting point is 01:42:52 at the airport, wasn't that supposed to be temporary? The whole TSA thing? Because I'm actually, maybe I'm conditioned to it, but with pre-check and everything, it's not terrible. It's not terrible. It's not like back in the 80s and 90s.
Starting point is 01:43:07 You could actually walk with your child to the gate, hold their hand as they walk onto the plane. Or wait for your family to get off. Yeah. All right. Let's see. Quagsire Esquire says, Mark is the goat. He put his money where his mouth was and made a stand on principle. Where can I buy your product now, sir? I need to support you.
Starting point is 01:43:28 Tigerfitness.com, T-I-G-E-R fitness.com is a great place. Also, any local vitamin shop, Hy-Vee, H-E-B. We have a lot of great partners through New York, Natural Body, Everybody Nutrition. We got a lot of amazing retailers out there. So many good retailers. Right on. Rancor says, he said mandatory morning calisthenics. I thought of 1984. Dude doing his mandatory morning exercises where big brother could see. Good times. That's the joke.
Starting point is 01:43:54 Yes. The idea is how many lives would be saved if every person, in order to get access, if you wanted to go to a diner, you had a nap. You wake up in the morning or any point in the day, you have to do 30 minutes of calisthenics. And when you do, your phone knows it tracks it and then says you've unlocked eating outside and going to the movies. Wouldn't that make sense? The same as these vaccine mandates. If it saves one life. That's right. Yeah, we don't do that. We can't do that. Well, Tim, I just want to bring up that COVID is generally attacking people who are obese and old.
Starting point is 01:44:27 Well, it's more heavily impacting. Yes. So here's the thing. It's attacking the weak. Obesity makes you weak. If we really cared, we'd do something about obesity. This was the greatest opportunity in American history to get people wakened up to lose weight and get into shape and better their odds at not dying instead we locked them in their house closed down gyms and delivered beer to their house
Starting point is 01:44:53 how absurd is this so if we want to make a difference whether you're if you're not fit i want you to get fit i want you to to eat better. I want you to exercise more. I don't care what you do for exercise. Cross fit, ballet, bodybuilding, yoga. I don't give a crap what you do. Do that. If you are in shape, I want you to find someone who's not in shape, and I want you to mentor them, and I want you to work out with them, and I want you to help them. We can end this now.
Starting point is 01:45:22 We just need to get into better health. Period. That will make our society much better. The pee-pee farm says, just bought $90 worth of outright bars. I'm sick of companies not taking a stand. Support those who will. Oh, man. I love you.
Starting point is 01:45:39 I really do. What is $4 million divided by 90? Just kidding. That's how many people need to start buying yes we need a lot of people not playing thank you so much man appreciate you'll enjoy it trust me richard says tim i have a flight attendant and almost no one has omicron we're simply tired after two years of of what's going on and we just want to be home for the holidays we don't get in trouble for rona call-outs. God bless. So when the Southwest thing happened and everyone said it was a work stoppage and a strike,
Starting point is 01:46:08 I spoke with a pilot who said, it's none of that. There's no organized effort. Nobody set up a phone call saying, everybody call in sick. People just call in sick. When they came out and said mandates for vaccines, people just were like, I'm going to use as many sick days as I have left because they thought they were going to lose their job. So it wasn't coordinated. It's just what happened.
Starting point is 01:46:27 Hey, it's coincidence that worked out for the better, I guess. All right. You know, who says was on United first class on 1224 stewardess harassed me. The second of my beer touched the armrest to raise my mask. I was so confused.
Starting point is 01:46:40 I didn't even know she was talking to me, man. Crazy. I had no issues when I flew to Austin. Nobody said anything to me if my mask was down or up or whatever, like when I was eating food or like when I'd get to the bathroom. Not a single word from anybody. See, here's the thing. Have you looked at like maybe they just don't like you?
Starting point is 01:46:59 Like you got to be nice to people. Like if I go out, like you'll notice I'm like, yes, sir, yes, ma'am. I'm cordial because I nice to people. Like if I go out, like you'll notice I'm like, yes, sir. Yes, ma'am. I'm, I'm cordial. Cause I genuinely like people. So if you come on the plane and you go to, Hey, how are you doing today? Awesome.
Starting point is 01:47:11 Great weather outside. Make small talk, make conversation. Maybe she just didn't like you. And she was harassing you. I'm just being devil's advocate. People can't make conversations because it's like, Oh,
Starting point is 01:47:20 it's like, it prevents that. I, I, my eyes, they make love. Of course. Yeah. Good to know.
Starting point is 01:47:28 Trying to have conversations like I go to a restaurant. I can't, I can't understand a word you're saying, man. With the plexi. So I'm at Costco and we don't have to wear masks. I don't know how it is at Costco out here. So they have the plexiglass and the mask and all the ambient noise around you. So what I do is I go around the plexiglass and I'm like, I can't hear anything you're saying.
Starting point is 01:47:49 What are you saying? It's like Kenny from South Park. Yeah, it is. Yeah. All right. Paul Lamer says, Tim, if you truly believe in his ideals, then stop going to Disney and Marvel movies. These companies hate our values and support this mandate crap.
Starting point is 01:48:01 You know, honestly, that is a good point. Not a bad point. I stopped doing Disney stuff. My last trip to Disney was after the Mr. Olympia, my business partner, placed second. And we went to Disney as families.
Starting point is 01:48:13 And it was when they had the mask thing. And it was miserable. It's 80-something degrees out. We have these frigging diapers over our face. I'm like, I can't do this.
Starting point is 01:48:21 And it was weird because Winnie the Pooh was behind a fence with a mask on. It was weird. That is a truly good point. There's a challenge in that if I want to know what these movies and videos are about, I have to watch them. So it's hard to just be like, I'm going to completely cut out all this content from my life and then not know anything about it.
Starting point is 01:48:42 So when issues come up, I'll be like, oh. You're true. But it is true. So I will i will say like i don't have a netflix account i got rid of that over the cuties thing that's not not not coming back so i don't care for netflix i think it's trash anyway but uh disney i do have i do have and i did cancel before and then i signed up again because i can't remember what happened but i was like something happened where they did something I thought was good. And I was like, if they do something good, I'll sign back up.
Starting point is 01:49:08 If they do something bad, I'll cancel it. But the other challenge too is like, I want to be able to watch these shows and then talk about what they're pushing out there, what they're telling people. If we all cancel, if everybody canceled, this is, this is one of the challenge challenges. If everybody canceled Disney, they would just double down on all their garbage content. Yeah. So it is not – I don't know. I don't have all the answers, man.
Starting point is 01:49:29 But I can say I actually agree with Palmer about boycotting Disney and Marvel movies. Maybe it's to boycott the movies that are actually pushing the garbage. Yeah. Warren B. says, did anyone watch the movie Don't Look Up on Netflix? I did. How was it? I think it's great. I think, look, politics aside, I think Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the greatest actors of all time.
Starting point is 01:49:51 So he lives the role. Like, here's the thing. Like, The Rock is The Rock in every movie, just saying different lines. Right. Leo DiCaprio and Will Smith and actors like that, they literally become the part. So maybe I'm just enamored with Leo DiCaprio as an actor, but I genuinely enjoy that movie. I do.
Starting point is 01:50:10 It was a good movie. It was kind of a play on idiocracy, which was pretty interesting. I'm not going to spoil it. Like some people who spoil movies here. I'm not going to mention who, but it's actually, I definitely, it was thought-provoking. Enjoyable. And interesting. It was different-provoking. Enjoyable. And interesting.
Starting point is 01:50:27 It was different than a lot of other movies. It's about – what is it? Space rock is going to slam into Earth and no one cares? Basically, yeah. And the scientist is out there trying to scream. They're trying to work with the White House for it, not giving anything away. It's a critique of the government and the media. Yeah, and it's actually –
Starting point is 01:50:44 And society. It just sounds like they're complaining about climate change well you could make any interpretations you want with it some people would make climate change some people would say covet some people would say energy policy there's a lot of different interpretations you could give to it but it's based on an asteroid you know and even if there is ulterior motive, like obviously my opinions are based on education. It was entertaining. If you're based and you believe in what you believe in and you're not big on climate change, it's not going to convert you. It's not going to be like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:51:16 They didn't mention climate change. No, they didn't. It's up for interpretation. Did you guys see Ryan Long's new sketch? Hilarious. Right wing sponsors versus left wing sponsors. I didn't. It's new sketch. Hilarious. Right wing sponsors versus left wing sponsors. I didn't. It's really good.
Starting point is 01:51:26 He's like the Patriot podcast. He's like we've got this jug of water. It's just freedom water for people who like freedom. And then the left wing guy is like
Starting point is 01:51:35 I'm going to talk to you about fair trade coffee. The segment brought to you by McDonald's. So he was really really good. I thought that was fantastic. It was procured locally through diversity hires Yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:51:46 Was it Tyler Fisher? Local diversity hires Tyler Fisher I think was the one working with him He also does really great work And shouts out to him We should maybe even try to get him on the show I think that would be awesome And then one of my favorite parts is when the left wing guy is like
Starting point is 01:52:01 In his show he goes I don't like that Bunker Ties advertises on the Patriot podcast. And then it shows Ryan Logg, and he's like, unfortunate news, Bunker Ties is no longer advertising on us. I thought that was great. Tyler Fisher was the left-wing guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's another comedian that does great stuff.
Starting point is 01:52:16 It's funny how right-wing companies will stop sponsoring right-wing shows because left-wing people who don't buy their product complain about it. And it's not enough people to really matter. It's literally Twitter. And if your company is based on your sales on Twitter, you're screwed anyway. I think they see Twitter as a bigger thing than it is. I really do. Like the Twitter mob is not going to put you out of business.
Starting point is 01:52:37 Yep. All right. Jackson H says, big news. Steve Bannon becomes a strategic partner with the blockchain media cryptocurrency FJB. He is both invested in the movement as well as the functionality of the crypto itself. There's not a meme crypto. It's a movement crypto. All right, then. All right. I'll be sure to invest
Starting point is 01:52:54 heavily in that. I'm taking out all my 401ks. FJB coin. Oh, my goodness. Christopher N. says, Tim, my little brother wouldn't come over for Christmas because I'm unvaxxed. I've seen him twice in two years and he lives only an hour away. He's a lefty ever since he went to college i've lost a brother yep it's it's crazy me that people genuinely think they're gonna die yeah i mean let him go let him go i mean dude no i say i say it's worth it's worth having those conversations it's worth
Starting point is 01:53:20 not giving up on your family members it's worth doing your best to try to inform them because it's your duty as a loved one. If you're close to someone and they're going down the path that is going to eventually lead them to getting hurt or screwed over by the establishment, it's your duty from my perspective, my opinion, I might be wrong, that you've got to help save these people from understanding and seeing the real world. I'm about removing toxicity, and your brother is stupid. All right. Good point. You have a point, and you might be right. We got an important one here.
Starting point is 01:53:46 Steven Almaraz says, Mark, how much pushups do you do? I use dumbbells. I use dumbbells and heavy weights. I train a lot. You know, I'm a, recently, two weeks ago, I earned my FBB Pro card,
Starting point is 01:54:00 which was a huge undertaking. Took me 41 years to get it. I train my butt off, man. I trained really hard. A lot of work. Just like today, my priority when I landed, I knew I had time, was to get to the gym. So it's a lot. So there's different levels of fitness. You can be in great shape and look phenomenal training three days a week. Now to get to the level I'm at takes years and years and years of eating a certain way and training a certain way
Starting point is 01:54:28 and a lot of other things. So it's, I do a lot of exercise. It's a lot. It's a huge amount. Now, Tim, however, this dude was skating like I've never,
Starting point is 01:54:38 like he did, what was that, an hour and a half? Skating, yeah. Insane. I would have died at like the 10 minute mark or at least broken something
Starting point is 01:54:46 see there's different levels of athleticism yeah that I don't know I could have skated longer but I have to work I used to skate for eight hours a day insane yeah it was really brutal insane I would I would be soaked I'll be drenched yeah it was crazy that's awesome now it's about an hour a day if you know so sometimes sometimes if it's like a busy day I'll get a half an hour and on the half pipe but uh rollerblading and skateboarding so you know start with the easy stuff with his which is just jumping up and getting airs and the blades and then i switch to the board and i do the more technical stuff after i'm all warmed up man that's good fun i love that thing just jumping really high and getting air that's what it's all about that would scare me all right ninja man fire h says well the highlight of my holiday was being told i am no
Starting point is 01:55:27 longer welcome to spend time with my family because of my vac status the split is real i've heard many similar things man that's crazy max jones says let's go beat barb we're super chatted for that i love it how come alien names are always like with an x and a z and they can't just be like, you know, like Kyle. Yeah. Or not even like Kyle, but like it's always got to be a Z, X or a Y or something. It's so foreign. It's not used a lot.
Starting point is 01:55:53 That's why it's like new. It's alien. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like calf. Like, why does it got to be Z? It's like, oh, someone, some sci-fi guy wrote, you know, Z-Borp.
Starting point is 01:56:03 And it's like, oh, what about like Bob-Op? He calls himself Butt-Cheek. Yeah, it's like the Rick and Morty joke where the gas alien is like, I like that word, fart. And he calls himself. SpidgeBandersnatch says, you should ask Seamus to do a pool family Thanksgiving sketch, a la his Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro bits. That would be hilarious. Except Seamus lacks the ability to imitate Tim Poole.
Starting point is 01:56:28 That's right. Yeah, he can't do it. He's tried. Doesn't work. It's not easy. He can't imitate Joe Rogan either. Really? It's very hard to impersonate Joe Rogan.
Starting point is 01:56:37 I'm sure it is. Yeah. There's a few people that it's really hard to get. Trump is actually fairly hard. I've seen people who are really good at Trump, but some people are really easy. I think Alex Jones is really easy to impersonate. Oh yeah. It's about like the way they speak. And if it's a very unique, you know, it's very unique. It's really easy to get. But if someone has kind of just like a, I don't know what
Starting point is 01:56:57 the right word is, but average style of talking, it's really hard to impersonate. Oh yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe Seamus can pull it off. I'm not sure. I don't know. I don't know if he can. Maybe he can. Maybe he can't. Bomchew says, I own a location-dependent small business in southern Illinois, so my
Starting point is 01:57:13 best hope would be, is the state breaking in half or possibly just pushing Cook County into the lake? Oof. Like Atlanta did in Futurama. Outside of Cook County, Illinois is pretty red. Very red. You get DuPage, you know, and it starts getting a little bit more red. But you go south and it is red.
Starting point is 01:57:34 It is a red state with a blue city in it. They're farmers. It's rural. Nathaniel Meeks says, left-wing complaints about right-wing companies causing right-wing companies to change positions from non-customers sounds a lot like those wussies over at Black Rifle Coffee. That was – I saw that. I don't know the whole story of it, but I grifted on it a little because I sell a little coffee here and there. But you know what? You just have to – if your name is Black Rifle, you got to be Merica no matter what.
Starting point is 01:58:02 What I heard was that the New York Times made a claim about what Black Rifle Coffee said, and it was not true. It was fake news. Where's the lawsuit then? I would have sued the pants off of you. But you can't. This is the thing, man. These news organizations are very, very clever.
Starting point is 01:58:17 You could make a statement, and they'll frame it in a way to change the context of what you said. So what my understanding was, and I don't know anything about it to be completely honest, was that they made a comment, the New York Times misframed, and then everyone got mad at them, and they were like, dude, why do you guys believe the New York Times? They're fake news. Okay, then I take it back. Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:58:35 I'm not trying to defend them as if I know. I don't know. I'm just saying that's one thing I've heard. So trying to give the other side here. Not that I don't have Black Rifle coffee. I've never even tasted it. I've never tried it. Yeah, I don't have Black Rifle coffee. I've never even tasted it. I've never tried it. Yeah, I don't know anything about it.
Starting point is 01:58:48 All right. Rick M. says, why stop at Marvel, Disney, et cetera? The biggest change could come from not buying Chinese products. It would impact the future the most. You can't. You can't stay in business without buying Chinese products. That's what people who don't own businesses don't realize. We do not have the manufacturing capabilities in any other country, including America, to replace China.
Starting point is 01:59:06 China is an invaluable resource. We have to have trade with China or we hurt as much as they do. Unless we start slowly pushing towards bringing back manufacturing. Well, we need to push towards bringing back manufacturing and make the choices when you can. I can't cut off China. No business owner from a local cookie store to a frigging larger company like mine can cut off China. What we can do is select things. For example, our clothing went from China to domestic in Pakistan.
Starting point is 01:59:32 So there are ways to get around China. But cutting off China as you type into your smartphone or your computer that's probably made in China. Yep. You know, we can't do it. We are too reliant on China right now. Yeah, we should be working with India dramatically, geopolitically, but we're not for some reason. And the foreign policy of America is pushing India away towards Russia's hand. All right, everybody.
