Quite possibly the biggest news of the day is that Joe Biden's got 8,500 troops on heightened alert. There's a plan for a deployment of up to 50,000 troops into Eastern Europe, and we're going to war, baby. Well, I don't know if we're actually going to go to war, but a lot of people think that's where we're going to end up. Now, that's really, really important news, but that's kind of it. That's where we're at with it. And so we didn't necessarily think it made sense to just lead with breaking news war. Let's talk about something else. So, you know, I'll mention it here. We are definitely going to talk about it because we have to get into the Biden administration and his failures. And our lead story is actually that Biden was caught on a hot mic calling Peter

Doocy a stupid SOB. He didn't say SOB actually said son of a bitch. And wow, it was about inflation. And I think this story is important because it shows that Joe Biden, the Democrats understand inflation is really bad because Biden made a comment about it being bad. And this says to me, they know, they know that they, they, they are presiding over a disaster. And now we can see the emperor with no clothes. I know we've used that analogy 50 billion times, but we'll talk about that. And we also got to talk about Barry Weiss on, on Bill Maher's show and the response to it. Not that I actually want to, to be honest, because I think my point I made on Twitter was that you and I, all of you watching and the guests we've had on the show are having these conversations that Bill Maher is having now. We had them the news cycle. You guys can decide what the news is. You can tweet about it. You can say, I don't care to talk about a show that's a year late to the party. It's still good they're talking about it, though. So we'll definitely get into all that stuff. And I really

want to talk about Matt Walsh on Dr. Phil. So we got all of those stories. Plus, we will be talking about war in Eastern Europe. And joining us today, oh, actually, before I announce our awesome guest, I just want to let everybody know that Luke is not here. He has left. He got scared because of everything going on. He's not here to defend himself over these charges, so that's just a shame. But joining us

as a replacement for Luke is none other than Anthony Fauci. This is Bobblehead. There he is. Just sitting there. And you can see his head bobbling back and forth. I am the science. I am the science. No, we're hanging out with Delano Squires. Thank you for having me, guys. You want to introduce yourself, man? Sure. My name is Delano Squires. I'm a contributor for The Blaze, a regular guest on Fearless

with Jason Whitlock. I appear twice a week, write twice a week for The Blaze. We talk about everything, culture, politics, faith, and I'm glad to be here. Thanks for having me back. Yeah, absolutely, man. Second time here. We're glad to have you. For sure. We got Ian.

What's up, everybody? Ian Crossland in the house. I am sad that Luke is gone. He had to visit Dagobah. I believe that there was a Jedi master that he needs to get a little bit of training from. In the meantime, though, if you want to pick up one of these awesome shirts from thebestpoliticalshirts.com and support Luke Rutkowski and We Are Change. Do it.

Do it. Do it. Yeah, I saw a comment in the chat saying that Luke was invading Ukraine. I hope this is not the case. My understanding is that he's going to Florida, so hopefully he's not causing trouble over in Eastern Europe. Luke looks like Bill Maher and he looks like Putin. I love it.

Isn't that weird? I love child, yes. It's true. Yeah. Yeah. That's so great. That's awesome. Ian's like, that's great. I love it. Isn't that weird? I love child, yes. It's true. Yeah. Yeah. That's so great. That's awesome. Ian's like, that's great.

I don't know why that is great. The history of Poland, man. I don't know. They got that Polish blood in them. Those guys, that's, I don't know, Slavic or... Is Bill Maher Polish? I don't know. I bet he is.

And now let's talk about Joe Biden caught on hot mic calling Peter Doocy a stupid son of a bitch for asking about inflation. You know, I don't know how many times I can say the emperor has no clothes. The New York Post reports President Biden called Fox News White House correspondent

Peter Doocy a stupid son of a bitch monday after he asked about biden he asked biden about soaring inflation wow do you think inflation is a political liability ducey asked biden as the press was ushered out of an event in the white house east room now i don't think but i think it's fair to say biden didn't realize he was actually responding i think he thought the mic was off or whatever. He says, no, it's a great asset. More inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch. Biden sneered into a hot mic. The president's vulgar insult was cut from the White House video feed, but was audible on C-SPAN. Ducey's question about inflation came after a Fox News poll released Sunday found that 85% of Americans are worried about inflation, which hit a 40-year high of 7% in December.

Now, look, Joe Biden, this is a great question from Peter Doocy, because Joe Biden is presiding over massive inflation. If he was actually pressed on this in an open setting, you know, Peter Doocy is like walking out of the room, all the reporters are yelling, Joe Biden would have to deflect or defend rampant inflation or say yeah it is what is what was the the phrasing is it politically a political liability for him to say yeah it is a political liability but you gotta understand it's bigger than the presidency like he could be honest about it i suppose good luck but he wouldn't would have been cool jen saki wouldn't

when joe biden questioned the legitimacy of the midterm jen saki claimed he was talking about trump like what do you what no joe biden said that but here's why i think it's so important When Joe Biden questioned the legitimacy of the midterm, Jen Psaki claimed he was talking about Trump. Like, what? No, Joe Biden said that. But here's why I think it's so important. Because you've got this from CNN, why inflation can actually be good for everyday Americans and bad for rich people. You know, I think regular people are just every day, it's a bucket of ice water thrown in their face. Because imagine you're somebody who's, you know, you're probably not probably not that smart to be honest if you believe this stuff from cnn and i think i'm saying that because i'm confident nobody who watches this show is stupid enough to believe the lies coming out of this inflation stuff with like inflation's actually good for you but imagine you are somebody okay

i don't want to be too mean to these guys let's let's imagine just you know these people are ignorant they read this story and they're like oh i get it that makes sense and then you hear joe biden call someone a stupid son of a bitch for asking if it was a liability he said no and you're like wait a minute but but you know cnn these media outlets are telling me it's not it's not bad why would biden get so angry over this hey maybe they're lying to you guys yeah what do you think about that tone man i mean at the end of the day, whether viewers and readers are politically astute or not, when you go to the store and a pack of bacon that used to cost you six bucks now cost nine bucks and price of gas is going up. If the price of eggs and milk, if you can even find them on the shelves um i think that's where most people feel it right they fill in their pocketbooks and a lot of the political debates that um are popular in washington

again these pocketbook issues are really i think what drive voters particularly if if they feel like the president is the one that's causing it right if his policies are causing it then i definitely think it's a political political liability And I think that's why he responded so sarcastically saying, oh, no, it's a great, it's an asset. I think he knows. I've been feeling pretty good lately. Watching Joe Biden gaffe and poop his pants and stuff like that.

Because when he says stuff like this, but regular people are experiencing the problems, it shows like, it's like you said, the debates in Washington, they're so out of touch with America. Oh, yeah, for sure. Like, a few years ago, the way I described it was like,

there's this giant maelstrom, this big whirlpool that we're all stuck in, but it's shrinking and spinning faster and faster, and we're getting ejected from it. Like, regular people were getting thrown from the mainstream over having questions, being like, hey, I don't understand this particular policy while you're doing it. Oh, far right get out it's like okay i'm out i'm gone when now it feels like the political the political elite and the establishment media types are in this tiny little section spinning in circles screaming at the top of their lungs nobody's there anymore nobody cares

about their debates or their arguments they know it's all busted up so i was i was actually going to ask you this i was going to say how long until the war in Ukraine with Russia makes everyone forget all about this? But no, that's why I said I've been feeling good because I don't think they will. I think we're at a point where our generation, they're not going to be sucked up into the manipulation through war. You know what I mean? I saw this video of this girl. I think it was in England crying about the masks and what it had done to her generation. I don't know if you guys – this was and this is something every human i think should see

this at some point but i think that the trauma that's been imposed on people because of this covid masking mandate stuff is no one will ever forget this that this is now part of the human experience to to see this happen to a society and and god willing that we make sure it doesn't happen again unnecessarily i'm hoping that that's the case yeah so i mean i had a recent article in the blaze where i talked about covet 19 has unleashed a new era in sort of american political and social life so you know we obviously early on in our country's history we had have a colonial period and Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow. I mean, Jim Crow, civil rights. I call this the era of the God King. And I think the, as I call it, the unholy trinity of big government, big business, big media have completely inverted our

political system. So instead of them seeing themselves as serving our interests they see us as serving their interests um and that's why they get so upset and so vicious whenever any of us have the audacity to to question them so it's no longer the consent of the governed it's no we tell you what to think don't question us as you said if you do questions oh you must be all right it's just like no i just want to know why my two-year-old has to wear a mask while you guys go out and drink margaritas and you know go to taibo maskless like i think those are legitimate questions but i mean you see this from washington every day and the craziest part of it is how many liberals leftist self-proclaimed progressives have lined up behind it.

Like I'm from a generation, like I look at sports where the media, particularly sports media would reflexively take the side of players over, over management, regardless of the dispute. But now you got guys like Stephen A. Smith is saying, Oh no, Kyrie Irving is a bad teammate. He's terrible. You know, and you have analysts on ESPN

who I know will never question the narrative that's being pushed down from on high. And these guys are tools. Howard Stern, same thing. Oh, yeah, dude. I used to watch Howard Stern's show. I mean, this guy. Didn't he call Oprah fat recently? He did. He doesn't like that.

That does cross my mind. It's funny how, you know, Howard Stern used to be edgy and anti-establishment. Now he could not – if he licked boot more, he'd be getting to the foot. He'd be licking the straight foot because he's just getting right there. Yikes. There was like Oprah had this party and then it was so against the establishment covet narrative that he started mocking oprah and going after oprah i'm like wow man like yeah that's pretty brazen to go after oprah because she's like you know yeah she's the queen of culture or was for a long time

so you can see where he he's finally found his line right it's not you know chucking little people through the air it's not you know getting strippers on tv to talk about the types of things they do in the bedroom it's if you disobey dr fauci's covid you know mandates and you're a terrible person you're a terrible american and i hope you die and it's like where did all of this come from i think he's a good example of like someone panicking um yeah it's it's less about like i'm angry you're not following the mandates for it seems to be more. He's about I'm afraid of getting sick. Right. And so he's like in this frazzled wild state of yelling at people to do what they to go to the back but we're being led by the anxious the fearful the neurotic um the the docile the gelded and they're the ones telling everybody else what needs to be done is this because wealth district like because of generational

wealth i think i think it's a cultural issue. I think that we've been too comfortable for too long. You've got the concept of the fourth turning, Strauss' generational theory. You've got strong men make good times. For those who aren't familiar with it, strong men make good times, good times make weak men, weak men make hard times, hard times make strong men. I think we're just in the weak men phase

where you've got the try guys guys on Buzzy with no testosterone. And I mean it's – but I'm not saying to be mean to them. You know what I mean? But it's true, right? Yeah, so I was thinking about this too. I did a segment on the low testosterone generation because there's stories going back 10, 20 years about how the testosterone levels are rapidly declining. They think it might be the plastics leaching into food or something. Antibiotics could be.

It could be antibiotics. It could be women's birth control in the water supply and then getting recycled or something like that. It could be soy consumption. So I don't- Except they spray the soy with before they harvest it. Glycosate. There's phytoestrogens in soy.

And there's two arguments about this. One is that phytoestrogens in soy and there's two arguments about this. One is that phytoestrogens being weaker than estrogen will block your estrogen receptors and actually have a lower impact as opposed to your natural estrogen because men have estrogen in their body. But when you're getting constantly slammed and inundated with an overly feminized society, which results in people unwilling to take the risks required to fix a broken system. That that that kind of mentality or imbalance results in despotism. It results in, you know, someone like Joe Biden. It results in these leaders that say, you know say you can't challenge them. You can't take the risk because – this is my personal view based on research and things like that. Men – this is a fact.

Men tend to take more risks. Women tend not to. So if you have a well-balanced society between men and women, the feminine and the masculine, then you're going to be well off because the guy, you're going to get some crazy guy who's like, I say we jump off the cliff and then I'll try and grab onto a guy who's got a parachute. And then you might have a woman who's going to be like, I think that's a crazy risk. I don't think you should do it. And then maybe talk the guys back a little bit from going too crazy. But now we're getting just, it's imbalanced.

It's shifting all into the feminine, which is, it's toxic femininity. So you'll end up with people who are unwilling to challenge system, unwilling to speak out. They don't want to go against social order. It's too risky. Stay the course and the storm will all blow over. I've got this feeling that I really have a lot of respect for a self-made man, someone that comes from either medium or low means

and then makes a great empire or career. And that's where I feel like with generational wealth that weak young men are inheriting a large amount of power. And then because they have the power, they have the TV channel and little kids then see them

and think that's normal and they're too afraid to take any risks because they don't want to lose what they've had their whole life. Whereas when you come from less than nothing or like not much,

there's nothing really to lose. You just give it your all. I mean, what else? That's how you got here in the first place. I think that makes sense. If you look at this show, I don't care. Yeah. I mean, I definitely think there's something to that, right?

The generation that builds the wealth and hands it on to the next generation, like that next generation, sometimes they can manage and steward, but by the time you get to the third or fourth, I mean, they're all about squandering it because they didn't work for it. So it doesn't mean as much to them. But I remember, again, the very first column I wrote for The Blaze, I juxtapose. And this was sort of, you know, swimming in the mainstream of culture. I juxtapose an artist like Megan Thee Stallion. Right. She had a song with Cardi B, WAP, and that was a big thing in conservative circles and how vulgar it was. And then I said, here you have Megan Thee Stallion.

So stallions are uncut horses, wild, uncontrollable. And then you have the cultural geldings, all of the men who would be too afraid to say anything critical about Megan Thee Stallion in public. And these are guys who, again, oftentimes work for corporate media and academia. If somebody like me says, look, I don't want my daughter ingesting this crap because it's garbage. And if the 90s, particularly as it relates to hip hop, was about keeping the boys out

of the gangs, then the 2000s and the 2020s are going to be keeping the girls off of OnlyFans. And I know exactly the type of men who would come up and criticize me for that. And I think our country is being led by those types of men. White knights? There it is. White knights. For sure. For sure.

And I think 2022 needs to be the year that we get rid of white knights. Honestly. But it's a combination. So Vox.com had an article I reference often that's like about 70 percent of millennial women are democrats so they're all voting and then you get about uh slightly more millennial men are republican i think the the men for the most part not completely i think there's there's two parent trees in the democrat voter base the ignorant default liberal types and the exploitative. I think the right and the Republicans have that exploitation as well.

But whatever the cultural right tends to be right now, it's an eclectic bunch of varying political ideologies. I don't know how you describe it. But among the Democrats, you've got people who are like, I'm going to say whatever I have to do to this woman so that she comes over to my apartment and gives me what I want. And so they're just like, yeah, whatever you say. Oh, of course. And then you've got regular people who are just like,

seems that this is what everybody wants. So I'm going to vote for it. And then you've got people who are willing to challenge, go against the grain, risk things, risk their careers. And they're going to speak up and say no.

But that's why I said there's an imbalance because the willingness to take risks for the betterment of society is really low. It may not have anything to do with testosterone. It may have to do with luxury. Like life is just too good, man. We got – you can order pizza off the internet. You know what I mean? I think it really has to do with too much free time.

We have too much free time because we have disposable income. And when we have free time, we get into our own heads. We become very self-centered. You become very narcissistic. disposable income and when we have free time we get into our own heads we become uh very self-centered you become very narcissistic and if you don't have children and if you don't have like fulfilling familial relationships you're going to kind of fall apart because uh humans demand that kind of structure like we really don't do well without one another it's crazy covid has opened my eyes man to that there are there are followers and there are shepherds in their sheep oh yeah there are people who are like yo just tell me what to do and there are people who are literally don't

you dare tell me what to do yes and let me let me do this let me pull up the new york post store we got and we'll get into this one new york post quote i'm done with covid barry weiss on bill marr sparks controversy not to us right because like we've been i'm done with covet i think i said that like four or five months ago and then i got covet and i got made fun of for it no but it's it's the insanity of the restrictions so on friday on bill maher's show barry weiss she said i'm done i'm done with covet she said i sprayed the pringles cans i bought at every grocery store i stripped my clothes off because i thought covet would be on my clothes i watched watched Tiger King. I got to the end of Spotify. We all did it. I love that.

We all did it. Yo, I'm sure a lot of these liberals did. So here's, this is interesting. This is a mainstream corporate press show, Bill Maher. Bill Maher has always been kind of, you know, he's always been in line with the left in the culture war, but he's been, he challenges that every so often, but he's late to the party.

He gets things wrong. So here I am. I see this going viral. First and most important thing, good news. Regular liberals who watch Bill Maher are now cheering for this. When Barry Weiss has said that what's happening to our kids will be seen as a moral crime. You know, I'm done with this. Everyone's clapping and cheering.

Bill Maher opened the show by saying he called the vaccine a virtue signal. That was crazy to me. He said, your first dose. It's like I can't remember the exact joke, but he was like, it comes in three doses. Your your your first series, your booster and your virtue signal. And then everyone they laugh or whatever. And so I'm like, this is really, really good. And I want to make sure that's clear to everybody because I'm going to criticize a bit of everybody.

It's good that we're watching regular people wake up to this stuff. It's good that we're seeing people realize you've got to do something about this. We can't just sit back and let the country fall apart. The stores are going – it's been two years, right? But we've had this conversation a year ago. We had this conversation a year and a half ago. And my concern is just this. To all of the independent media types, the podcasters, the Twitter posters,

the journalists who have listened to this show, have listened to Steven Crowder, who have listened to Jimmy Dore. Jimmy Dore and Crowder talked about these things before we even did. So let's realize,

for one, we were all right. What's the joke? Conspiracy theories, 597. Mainstream media, zero. You know, we're winning this one. We talked about it first. We were right. We need to have more confidence in ourselves.

We need to basically say to the likes of Bill Maher, but amongst ourselves is, we need to set our own news cycle. We shouldn't sit back and be like, well, did Bill Maher talk about it? That's when it matters. No, no, no. We need to start acting like the conversations we've already had. Again, like Jimmy Dore, Crowder, Sticks, Hexenhammer, all these other independent channels

I've already had a long time ago. And when you go out to a restaurant, when you go out to, I'll tell you this, there was that big breaking story where the CDC lady, I think it was, said, there's a difference between dying from COVID and dying with COVID. CNN picks it up and goes crazy. Yo, we talked about that

a year and a half ago. So when you're out at the bar and someone's saying, yeah, but did you hear how many people died today? You can go, yeah, I mean, but you're not conflating with and for. I mean, that was, they've already explained that. Don't you watch, don't you pay attention? Just stop acting like CNN is

who should be setting the news cycle that's what i'm saying yeah for sure i mean as you said some of these things have been around i mean there was an early period in covid where nobody really knew what was going on and then once we got to like mid you know summer 2020 things started to become clearer i think a lot of people lost faith in our institutions and our public health officials. I'll say I'll say what happened for me when those twelve hundred public health experts signed a letter that said protests for racial justice are OK during COVID at a moment where people still couldn't even go to work. And then at the end of the letter, it says this is not to be confused for support of protests that are against lockdown measures. I remember that.

I said, okay, I'm done. Yeah. And I think a lot of people were done at that point too. If you're, so if you're a sheep, you're sitting there being like, like a shout out to Ethan Klein, H3 podcast, when he said, you don't even got to think, you know, you don't got to think about it. I think that's what he said, right? Like, you don't even got to think about it. Yeah.

I never saw him say it. I've heard, I've heard you mention it a few times. Yeah. It's like, I guess on his podcast, he mentioned, you can go to the CDC website. You don't even got to think about it i think that's what he said right like you don't even got to think about it yeah i never saw him say it i've heard i've heard you mention it yeah it's like i guess on his podcast he mentioned you can go to the cdc website you don't got to think about it they just tell you and it's like maybe you do but hey look look i'm not saying there's anything wrong with being a sheep i want to make sure that's clear i'm not i'm not insulting people for being sheep there are a lot of people i'm a good friends of mine and i've had really interesting philosophical discussions where i've had people say would i rather be the one who's in charge of organizing all of these people would i rather sit back crack a beer and watch the game and say i'm gonna enjoy life and enjoy my ignorance i'm like

yo i can get i get that yeah i can i can respect wanting to revel in ignorance how i i can understand that personally i should say this this when I say respect it. I mean, I get that feeling. I understand, you know, personally, I think people need to, if they're cognitive cognizant of what's going on, speak up and stand up. There are a lot of people who don't view it that way and maybe don't have the ability to see what's really going on and maybe just think to themselves, look, I wake up, I go to work, I try to feed my kids, I come home, I turn the TV on, they tell me what's up, and that's

all I care about. Yeah. I mean, there are instances, for instance, right? I'm a Christian. So in the scriptures, it talks about Jesus is the good shepherd. But part of what pastors are supposed to do is shepherd their flocks. Right. So in that context, I get, you know, a shepherd who who feeds his sheep. But in that context, the shepherd is working under the authority of the good shepherd and they're feeding, you know, from a source that provides all the nutrients that any of the sheep would need, right? That's different than what we have. We have awful shepherds. We have shepherds in wolf's clothing, which is worse than a sheep in wolf's clothing. Because if you get a sheep in wolf's clothing, the wolf may get one or two sheep before the rest scatter but a shepherd

in wolf's clothing will take all of them over the hill and none of them will know the difference I think wait I think you're mixing it up

wolf in shepherd's clothing yeah wolf in shepherd shepherd in wolf's clothing sorry I'm like sheep pretending to be the wolf I think we actually have

sheeps in shepherd's clothing I think I think we've gone so long without a real shepherd and this could be evenepherds clothing. I think we've gone so long without a real shepherd. And this could be even religious as well. Like we've separated ourselves from any real leadership that finally one sheep looked around and was like, yo, the shepherd gets to eat whenever he wants. He gets to go wherever he wants. Correct.

I'm going to put on the shepherds. I'm going to carry around his – what is that? Staff. Staff. Yeah. And just tell him what to do do and so you've got sheep leading sheep yeah the blind leading the blind yeah and that's the you know we were just talking about it the the white knights the uh is that the i guess the simps white knights the simps the guys who are just like simple that's kind of what it means is that what it means yeah that's not what it means i think it

means you're you're simple i think that's the idea i think you're making that up i don't know i don't know what else it would mean though mean something i don't know but but it just you know basically it's a guy who's like white knighting for some for some chick this is what we have in terms of our leadership it's not just about the woman it's about the constituency it's about the politician being like i'm just gonna say whatever you want to hear right because hopefully that'll make you happy i think that you're talking about people wanting to drink beer and check out and watch the game and like i get it but i think that we've been groomed for this i think that the whole bread and circus thing it's an ancient roman tactic you want to keep the plebs happy you just make sure they

have enough bread and they have enough entertainment same with beer now you go turn on tv and watch a sports football game or something beer commercials car commercials get get drunk buy a car so like it's not healthy to check out especially when people that check out and then think they have some political clout by putting a sign in their yard and yelling at their neighbor about, if you're going to check out, check out. Go away. I guess to clarify what I was saying before about some people just don't mind being sheep and there's something wrong with it

is when you have a good shepherd, then your flock is protected and they're doing what they got to do. This country, though, it was definitely founded on don't ever give up your rights. Don't ever check out. You are this process. But I'm don't ever give up your rights. Don't ever check out. You are this process. Right, but I'm not saying to give up your rights. I'm saying there are people who – I love using the example of like a carpenter. It's like a regular trade job or an electrician.

Let's say you're an electrician. Man, you will run circles around me in explaining how all this stuff works. I'm going to sit here and be like, I have no idea. Right. And I'll trust your expertise. Right. But at the same time, that electrician is going to say to me, I don't have time to read the news all day. And this is really important stuff.

I can wire a house. I can save your house from burning down. I can fix a car. I can do a lot of stuff. I can actually – I've had electricians talk about wiring up crazy devices and supercharging remote control cars and doing really awesome stuff because they know how to do it. So they need to rely on someone who's at the forefront of the conflicts in the world, the culture battles, journalists, and politicians who are going to say, you got my back in terms of building the infrastructure,

and I'll make sure you're well-informed and prepared for what comes next. I can't expect them to be where we are. That's what I mean when I say everybody's a leader in some respect. But when it comes to our actual political, military, and media establishment, that leadership is in the gutter. It is a cesspool. Thoroughly discredited. And I mean I remember at one point I sent one of my boys a tweet from the CDC because his wife was pregnant at the time. And it said something to the effect of, you know, are you considering getting vaccinated?

And these vaccines are now available for birthing people. And I said, why would you trust a public health establishment that doesn't even know who the category of person that can get pregnant? Right. The exclusive category of person that can get pregnant. And as I said, all of these institutions have discredited themselves over the past you know two years they'll blame it on alt-right they'll blame it on trump but it's no you guys have done it um and now you're feeling the backlash people are waking up to it waffle sensei chimed in a super chat with the quote from ethan klein he said the cdc is like this whole government body with scientists and ish that tell us what to do. You don't have to think about it, dude. Yes.

Wow. Well, there you go. Yeah. That's dangerous, man. Because it's remarkable to me that you can look at history with like asbestos. Come on. It's like not even hard to come up with. DDT is good for me.

Remember that? There's a really awesome ad that was going viral. It was a pregnant woman smoking cigarettes. Low birth rate. Wait. Yeah. Easy delivery. Doctors recommend, you know, whatever cigarettes for expecting mothers. I think Bill Maher even mentioned

this too. Maybe it was Bill Maher. Maybe it wasn't. He was saying that they used to drill mercury into your teeth. They don't do that anymore. Well, I mean, like, yeah, we would get the fillings, right? Wasn't that, like, not even that long ago? They did lead fillings? Did they do that?

I don't know. I think they did. Yeah, but they used to do a bunch of stuff. And all the time we decide, hey, that was maybe a bad idea. We improved the science. So to sit there and be like, you know, to quote Biden, the Tuskegee Airmen experiment no but the uh the the tuskegee experiments yeah like the government mk ultra that was real it wasn't an accident either that one was right i know like we know you don't just sit back and say the government is my

friend and it'll i think the government is is inherently utilitarian it cares about protecting itself correct and it cares about maximizing output. It constantly shocks me how quick people are to trust that the government has their best interest in mind. Because if you know anything about the government,

you're going to know a little bit about like MKUltra and some of these other weird projects and creepy, suspicious things the government's done. I think that people tend to lump that into the whole Alex Jones paranoia basket. But these are very real things that have definitely provably happened.

Like the Tuskegee experiment is very real. Sure. Part of the reason there's so much vaccination hesitancy among that community. And it's like I completely understand why they remember what happened. That was funny to me because when the New York vaccine mandates were all happening, there were Black Lives Matter activists protesting it. And one of the things I heard them say was like they were like, we remember what the government did to us. You're're not gonna just tell us we have to do this this

this ish you know what i mean yeah and i remember it's funny because the last time i came i was talking about again another article and i think the title the title of it was well kendy and biden save no vax blacks from jab crow attacks oh yeah that's right i remember that and candy actually answered that question someone asked him about the vaccine mandates and of course i knew he did what i knew he would do which was pun you said oh well well they're really not racist even though they have a disproportionate impact because blacks and hispanic and latinx can't get um the vaccine they don't have access one One, that's a lie. Two, that would make it even more racist if you're holding black and Hispanic people accountable

for getting a medical treatment that you admit they don't have access to. But again, I knew that that's where he was going to go because he's making way too much money from, you know, guilty white liberals to ever criticize them and call them you know the forbidden r word but yeah it's for me one of the big things the word that keeps coming back to my mind as it relates to covid stuff is authority this this virus has um made the populace give up authority in areas of their private life, their medical lives that we've never considered before. And the government has been more than willing to take it on. So now all of the my body, my body, my choice people are now like, no, you must get the vaccine. You must. And if you don't, you're a bad person. The people who would never stigmatize anybody for

having AIDS or HIV, regardless of what type of personal behavior they engaged in, are now saying, no. If you get COVID and you're unvaccinated, you should die and you shouldn't get medical treatment. So it's basically flipped all of people's principles right on their head. I got to pull up this article from Post Millennial. This one is you're going to love it. You're going to love it. Oh, yeah. this one is you're gonna love it you're gonna love it oh yeah watch elderly masked white women yell black lives matter while assaulting black men for not wearing a mask that's it that's the

story this is this is i can't believe this is a video i don't know uh exactly where the video came from but um i saw it on libs of tiktok on on twitter and you have you can see these women apparently what happened was this black dude gets in an elevator. He's not wearing a mask. These two white women wearing masks yell at him to get out, and he's like, no, I was here first. You get out. They start attacking him. They hit him, and he's like, yo, you hit me.

And then all of a sudden she goes, Black Lives Matter. What? And then the other woman goes, Black Lives Matter. It's like – What the heck? It's like, yo, you hit a black dude on camera and you think yelling that is going to help you? These ladies are holding up their phones. They know all about the Karen thing.

But here's the funny thing. These are the mask wearers. They're not supposed to be the Karens, right? Or are they? It's weird that it happened because the Karens were the people who were the right wing, the Trumpers, the anti-vaxxers. They were the ones who refused to wear the masks in supermarkets. Now it's literally,

it's flipped. Yep. The Karens are the people wearing the masks. We saw that lady on the airplane when she hit the guy. Yeah. I think she's,

or she's spitting his mouth. She's spitting his mouth. She's spitting his mouth. Yo, but I just want to, I think, you know, outside of that, are we really at the point

where old white liberals think they can just yell Black Lives Matter after hitting a black guy and that's their strategy? It absolves them, yeah. I remember a girl driving her car in a crowd of people and it was just like a black girl. I don't like calling people black and white firstly because we're not white or black. We have skin colors and it's ridiculous to call people black and white. But this woman was driving her car and people were like banging on the car and then they portland they realized that she was a black girl and they're like oh everyone can't stop let her through i don't remember exactly how that played out but that was disturbing man i mean this is this is the the signal that we've sent through the culture i mean from particularly

from you know summer 2020 is if you say Black Lives Matter or you put up your little sign in front of your house or in your business, it's, you know, makes people know that you're on the side of the righteous. Sometimes I would joke my wife and I said to me, again, to borrow some, you know, sort of biblical imagery. It's like smearing the blood on the doorpost so that death angel passes over so that that people know look i'm i'm one of the good ones i think black lives matter let me play this because the video didn't pull up uh but i want i want to say listen to this get out Don't touch me! Don't you have teeth? Don't touch me! Get out. Don't touch me! Get out, I'm not touching you. Oh, did you just hit me? Did you just hit me? You just hit me. You just hit me. You just hit me.

My toes hurt. What? Oh my gosh. Yo, stop. Stop your toilet. I don't know you. Wait, wait. Hear it again.

Black lives matter. Black lives matter. Black lives matter. Stop your toilet. I don't know you. Yo, you need to stop. Fuck. I'm not getting out. I Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter. Stop recording. I don't know you. Yo, you need to stop. I'm not getting out. I was here.

Yo. Wow. Like, I would understand if there's like two white people fighting and they're filming each other. And then one of them yells Black Lives Matter, trying to be like, if anybody sees this, I'm on the side of the cult. Right. But they hit a black guy and then yelled it and i'm like that makes it 10 times worse that's incredible i think this is like peak virtue signal because they're like i'm gonna actually assault someone who's actually black but i'm gonna say these magic words and it'll be nothing bad will happen to me i also think this is one of

the unspoken symptoms of long covet quote unquote the the neuroses and the anxiety and the fear have done almost as much damage as as if not more damage than the disease itself because this is how people act when they see you know like you just see a face oh oh my gosh you know that that type of anxiety is is not good look at this picture let's pose just pull up the article again. Look at this face, man. That eyes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's crazy to me that I just – this lady's got no chill. I know. You know? What you're saying is so true about long COVID having this psychological – because you can't quantify it. You can quantify the bank account and inflation, and we can all agree and point at the number. But with psychosis you got to just you see it play out like you got to kind of call it out when you see it yeah it's going to be unpacking decades of trauma for people and and part of this is driven by policy right

just just like the cities that impose the vax pass um the vaccine passport mandates now you're putting five to 120 pound year old young women um in the position of playing bouncer at a restaurant and if you do that in a city that's big enough you're gonna have some bad reactions because everybody's already on edge so now when i come you know let's say i'm out to celebrate you know my mom's birthday and i'm in a party of 20 and everybody else gets in and now you're saying sorry sir you can't come in because you don't have the passport. And I'm just like, well, look here, I got a negative test. Oh, we don't take that.

Now you're setting people up to have very, very bad interactions with people over, again, policies that obviously are not working the way that politicians intended. I feel like within my soul there is this feeling watching this video of these ladies and like to express the pure like it is a perfect spiral of all of the BS. It is the leftist violence. It is the mask Karens. It is the COVID policies all just compressed into one point ready to just burst. Into one elevator. Into one elevator. Into one elevator. And I'm just like,

if there is any video you need to share with your friends and family, people often say to me, Tim, my parents don't want to listen. They don't believe it. Just go to Postmillennial, pull this video, pull this out,

get the tweet, send it to them and ask them what they think. And then they're going to be like, whose side are you on? The mask people who are hitting a black guy and yelling Black Lives Matter, who apparently are the Black Lives Matter supporters, or the dude who's refusing to wear the mask?

What the heck? What I find fascinating about it is it creates this position where if you're intellectually honest, if you're principled, it's really, really simple. I don't care about the race of the guy. I care they shouldn't have attacked him. I'm not a fan of mask mandates. These people are crazy. But if you're on the side of Black Lives Matter or the mask Karens, you're in a pickle here.

This guy, I did notice he seemed to flick at the girl right when the video started. It's kind of out of context because it starts in the middle of the argument. For all I know, he could have screamed at him before they started recording. Probably unlikely. Yeah, but come on. He kind of flicks. So I don't want to blame either one of them for starting it. It looked like they were just kind of pushing at each other.

You listen to the dude filming, and he's chilled out. He's confused. Yeah, he's like, what are you doing? Why are you doing this? They're angry. Yes. That's that anger, man. And he's also stuck in the elevator.

He has to get to where he's going. So he's like, dude, I can't. This is beyond me at this point. This poor guy, man. has to get to where he's going so he's like dude i can't this is beyond me at this point this is like uh one other video that i really like to uh um uh bring up is when the guy was following the woman around the supermarket and he said is anyone else mad that we all have to wear masks and she isn't wearing hers because it's not about covid it's about authority about doing as you're told it's obedience it's funny uh i call masks obedience masks particularly in front of my kids um my daughter who's six will always respond it's not an obedience mask dad um so i mean it's like

a running joke my wife probably doesn't like it but i mean that's that's that's really what it is it's it's a it's about compliance it's not about the virus at this point. It's about I feel like I have. Well, I feel like I have to wear it. And I feel bad when I see people who are flouting these laws or these mandates or these orders that I feel like I'm stuck with. And that's really what it is at this point. Going back to what we're talking about with like Bill Maher and stuff. You know why I'm not a fan of that conversation? I'm willing to bet that Bill Maher and Barry Weiss, they look at the polling.

They're like parents are tired of this. The polling for Biden's in the gutter. I can tell when the ship is sinking. I'm getting off. But Bill's interesting. I remember 2001 after 9-11, he was like a vocal advocate for like against the establishment. He was really a show. I think it was politically correct. And he was like relentless and they canceled it they canceled his show like he was like a full-on like what's the guy's name said the seven words that that comedian george carlin he was carling like full-on the embodiment george carlin i still get that from him but then he was gone then he came back yeah and now a little bit toned down real time's a little more toned down um he's getting older, but I still love that. I feel that rabble in him.

I gotta be honest. I work a lot. I do the morning show. I do the night show. And with Luke leaving the show, I get it. Luke does his own show, too. He's got his channel. And so he was working nearly as much as I was. We're also running the business

and expanding, so there's a little bit extra. There's a more that i do but now i'm thinking you know luke's on the road he's gonna be in florida he's gonna be working only his morning shift he's got all that free time at night i can totally understand at a certain point you're like yo i've worked so hard endlessly for the past several years for me i'm like no no we got to keep pushing we got to keep fighting because there's things that i care about and things I believe in Bill Maher however I can already tell he's a boomer how old is he 60 or something 62 I think

he's also Ashkenazi Jew and not Polish I was looking up his he's not Polish I don't know why that's relevant to what I'm talking about Ashkenazi Jew mother and Irish father just so you know not Polish well Ashkenazi is Eastern European isn't it that's what I'm talking about but it's irrelevant i hope they're related anyway my point is that it's very obvious he's checked out yeah it's very obvious like when the covington scandal happened

he he came out and he was just wrong about it and i'm like yo we corrected the story a week ago cnn came out a week ago and bill maher is a week late still wrong and people were like cheering for it i'm just like i don't think the show is actually about what's true and correct i think it's about what's polling and i think you know with a story like that it's entirely possible he was like i know it's not true but this joke's gonna play really really well with this audience so let's do it yeah a year later we're supposed to be happy that as the ship's sinking we all got off the ship let me put it this way

try not to be too disrespectful to people who are at least saying something good but there's the Titanic and it's coming down

and as soon as the iceberg it hits we all said hey everybody hit an iceberg time to get in the lifeboat and everyone else said

shut up you crazy right winger conspiracy theorist there's no iceberg nothing can sink the Titanic so we're like so you guys don't care we'll take this lifeboat and everyone else said shut up you crazy right-winger conspiracy theorist there's no iceberg nobody nothing can see the titanic right so we're like so you guys don't care we'll take this lifeboat get out of here you crazy said all right we'll take it yep now as the ship's crumbling and sinking they're all getting like oh uh uh we we need lifeboats too we we've been saying it the whole time and i'm just like the only reason they're saying it is because it's safe for them to say it now because the polling's in their favor.

They weren't brave enough to speak out and risk getting canceled or fired or insulted or smeared at the time, but they're willing to say it now. So when Bill Maher comes out and he does the virtue signal joke about vaccination, I'm like, ah, they did market research and found we were right the whole time. And now they're realizing there's an opportunity for him. He got COVID. That changed him a lot after he got COVID. He got shot too, yeah. Yeah, he got vaccinated. And then he got COVID and was like, what is this all about?

And then he kind of changed. Let me pull up this video. Oh, boy. This one's going to get us in trouble. So we got this from Nicholas Fondacaro. He's over at MRC Newsbusters. Oh, yeah. He says, how dare you?

Whoopi Goldberg ridiculously pops off against Bill Maher for anti-mask jokes, tells him to stay out of society. Sarah Haynes joins in by saying masks will be a permanent new normal like airport security after 9-11. I may never feel comfortable without a mask. Even after the Bill Maher, Barry Weiss thing comes out and the liberals are like, we're not going to be doing this. The view is still doubling down. But I'm bringing this up for a different reason. I want you all to listen very

closely. You ready? Bananas, you are. That's not really funny to people who have lost their kids to this vaccine or people who have lost family. That's not really funny to people who have lost their kids to this vaccine or people who have lost family members or dear friends to this. It's just, you know, I'm going to play that one more time. One more time for you guys. You are. That's not really funny to people who have lost their kids to this vaccine or people who have lost family members or dear friends to this. It's just, you know, listen, nobody on the planet really wants to go through this. You know, everybody responds to that.

When I tweeted it saying, whoa, Whoopi Goldberg said, losing your kids to the vaccine. And everyone said, you know what she meant, you know what she meant you know what she meant and they always do that and i'm like if we were a serious people in this country i would but she says nobody wants this and nobody wants to go through with this did she mean to say virus yeah what why do you how do you know um how do you how do you know what she was thinking? Only because I've seen her work, and I feel like that's what she meant to say and that she misspoke. This is a big problem we have in the information space. Exemplified by a tweet I made about a rumor going around that a school had put litter boxes in the bathroom for furries. I quoted a woman who said that she had heard a school had put litter boxes in their bathroom for kids who identified as furries.

And I linked to a story where it says superintendent denies this. And everybody interpreted the tweet however they wanted to. Many people on the right interpreted it to mean the story was true and they were doing this. Many interpreted it to mean that people are insane for believing it. And many interpreted it to believe that I was actually personally believing the story had happened and it was true without fact checking. That's the problem with you, Ian, saying you know what Whoopi Goldberg meant when she said this. I wouldn't risk my life on it, but that's my guess. I think it's fair.

No, no, I do agree, though. I do agree, though. I think she meant to say virus or whatever. But the problem is right now, what would they do if it was like Donald Trump making a statement? If Donald Trump came out and said, did you see this? Whoopi Goldberg says kids being lost to the vaccine. What's going on with the view? The media would say false. Never happened.

But then someone will take the clip of her saying it and they'll play it and she literally did say people have lost their kids to the vaccine now look don't make me get into it youtube i don't i'm not here to make a medical conversation just go people can talk to their doctors as youtube mandates we say or whatever the point is i just thought this was really fascinating that she literally said this no one on the show corrects her as far as i know they never came out and said we really need to clarify that statement for national television because as far as i could tell if you take a transcript of this and just show what she was saying she's criticized criticizing vaccines she just got covered right like a couple weeks ago or something so she's probably really twisted about this whole thing and she's got a

job to do going on the view but obviously something's going on in her head that that came out. Well, it's not even that. I mean the whole segment itself is bonkers where they're like – that one woman, what's her name? Sarah Haines. She's like, I'm not going to leave my house ever even after the pandemic. It's like are you trying to one-up the other crazy Karen ladies? Is this new? Is this a recent?

Yeah, this is from today. Yeah, yeah. It's like people are constantly trying to one-up each other. So you get some woman who's like, I like the mask. Remember when, wasn't it David Hogg who was like, I'm not going to take the mask off because people will think I'm a Republican or something like that? Yeah.

Yeah. And that goes to what we've been saying, right? A lot of this is virtue signaling. I need to do something so that people don't associate me with the wrong people and if that is what is driving any part of your public health response we're in trouble because i mean one of the things i heard and again covid has just scrambled everything in american sort of political life it's uh when it first hit why isn't trump doing enough then it's trump is a is a is a you know fascist and a dictator and he's gonna do too much

and now it's i want i want the government to tell me what to do who i can have at my house on the fourth of july or thanksgiving or christmas and i don't think people know what to think and i do think many brains have been scrambled you know talking about you know i just did this stupid youtube disclaimer thing because like we don't give medical advice here on this show go speak to your doctor what's about what's right for you i wonder what people how people are going to respond when all of this implodes because it's already starting to implode i mentioned several times i'm like i don't even know what the rules are anymore because the media the news has reported such crazy things like the new york times israeli study says that repeated uh vaccination

could actually increase your chance of catching the virus or whatever something like that it could reduce the the immune response i'm like that and i'm like can i talk about that can i say that because youtube will ban i don't know man i read in the new york times go talk to a doctor don't get your advice from me but what happens when when regular people who, like Hassan, the lefty streamer, he refers to people as ivermectin truthers. How do people who watch him react when all of this implodes and the narrative crumbles and then just we realize once again who was actually corrected? Are people going to be mad at YouTube and these big tech companies feel like they've been deceived. When will people start to, I know that we do, but when will regular people start to look at Twitter and be like, yo, these people are evil.

They're manipulating us. They're lying about what's going on and they're controlling the flow of information. Probably never because like we just last week talked about only 2% of the American population even uses Twitter. Most people are not savvy. Facebook. Maybe Facebook. I don't know about like everybody uses that. Do they? Yeah. Well people are not savvy. Facebook. Maybe Facebook. How many people use that? Do they?

Yeah, well, not everybody, but a lot of people. Younger people tend not to. But TikTok even. We're banned from TikTok. Wow. Yeah. I don't know why. I don't know. I think it's because we had Alex Jones on. Yeah, something like that. My experience, and I'll say this sort of from the race

angle, I've seen so many stories that have blown up that have been complete hoaxes. And there's always a remnant of people who hold on to it for dear life. I mean, I know the one that comes to mind is, you know, the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson and the whole hands up, don't shoot thing that went sort of international. And then Barack Obama and Eric Holder's DOJ did their investigation and they found they couldn't find a single witness who had who had sort of testimony or an interview that corroborated the forensic evidence that showed that Michael Brown was shot with his hands up in a position of surrender i mean i read through the entire report now they're still politicians i think elizabeth warren and kamala harris who every time michael brown's birthday comes around they talk about it as if he was murdered in cold blood so some people will never let go of that um just yeah and and and when you see i mean i think there was a study last year that showed that people who identify as liberal and very liberal overestimate the number of police shootings of unarmed black men. I mean the very liberal thing is like between 1,000 and 10,000.

Somebody did a video. I can't remember who it was. It might have been Vice where they went to – they went around LA and asked people how many black people do you think have been killed by police in the past year. They went to the venice skate park and these these skater guys they were like 500 a thousand ten thousand what was it like 13 unarmed yeah it's typically in that range and even i think most people would vastly overestimate the percentage of sort of police shooting fatalities that even involve black black people it's on average it's about 25 percent 45 percent of police shooting fatalities that even involve black black people it's on average it's about 25 45 of police shooting fatalities are white people typically white men but if you read if if you were

someone that came from mars you would think only black men get shot by the cops and only white blondes go missing now what if you're a 10-year-old in 2008, you're on Facebook and BuzzFeed pops up, and the only thing you see in your Facebook feed for 10 years is police brutality videos? Yeah. Now it's 2018, you're voting in the midterm for the first time, and you're probably screaming like cops are going around hunting people down. Using terms like genocide. I mean, we have been primed, and unless you're a person who can think critically, this is where being a sheep is so dangerous, because if you just take the word of CNN or MSNBC or even for that period of time, the whole Colin Kaepernick thing was hot. information journalists quote unquote and political analysts and commentators and that what you're being fed basically is synthetic grass and if you feed a sheep synthetic grass they're gonna die period yeah man i think about this uh the social media problem i i really do think twitter

is one of the biggest causes of these problems of everything we're experiencing the rapid out of context the the rapid spread of decontextualized information whether intentionally false or otherwise the whoopi goldberg clip the reason i wanted to highlight this and talk about her miss speaking is because they never corrected it right and so what could happen now is i guarantee you there will be people who will clip her saying that and they're going to be like breaking whoopi goldberg criticizes vaccine and she literally said it she did and it makes sense to me that that would be a kind of a freudian slip but at the same time i really hate when people assume they know what other people are thinking because we don't even understand what we're thinking ourselves have the time communicating is not perfect between humans talking saying the

things that you actually think is very challenging. So I'll give her the benefit of the doubt a little bit. But the fact that no one corrected her on this, somebody should have been like, no, the dying of the virus. Yeah, what a bunch of weak minds. No offense, girls or guys or whoever's on that show to not correct her on that. No, listen to your co-hosts

and correct them when they misspeak. It's crazy, isn't it? Nobody wanted to speak up and be like, whoopee, whoopee, did you mean, like when you said wolf and shepherd's clothing, I was like, wait, did you mean, I'm like, like hey we're having a real conversation i'll ask you to clarify it's no big deal they could have been like whoopie did you mean the virus you said you said vaccine she would have been like oh yeah okay great no now that clips around that clips out i love what

you just said about how twitter might be making people nuts i just made a video on minds about this first video i've made in a while about tone and i think tone has been been lost. And basically, as a human society, we're evolving our communication abilities. Then we developed the phone. And we were able to communicate via vocal vibration. Then all of a sudden, we developed internet video. And we can communicate. But people have fallen back into text again. Like they're sending letters again.

And it's driving them. It's like the Stone Age, man. Get out. Keep moving forward. Do not fall back into text. You're missing the tone. I think Twitter is awful. It's the text. You're missing the tone. I think Twitter is awful. It's the text.

If there's video conversation, I'm all for it. But as soon as people type like it's 1911. But what's the alternative, right? I've been thinking about this. The internet allows shows like this. It allows us to communicate with each other. It allows us to fact check and challenge the establishment more than ever before. But it also gives the establishment the ability to propagandize and manipulate better than ever before.

True. Yeah. And I mean, those are the trade-offs that come with any sort of complex system or any public policy or any advancement in technology. It's always going to be trade-offs. The question is, net-net, do we think it's to our benefit as a society or is it to our detriment? I think it's clear it's a benefit as a society or is it to our detriment? I think it's clear it's a benefit.

That's why they're trying so hard to censor everything and control the flow of information. Because you want to induce yourself with information whether it's right or wrong and a strong mind can wield all sorts of information without believing it and that you have to but you can also be brainwashed. Even the strongest of minds, if you induce yourself with enough false narrative, it can start to change you. You know, we're susceptible. So how do you balance that? How do you balance it?

I mean, for me, part of this goes to the importance of education, right? And starting for kids, but I see education as equal parts scholarship and discipleship, but also a lifelong process, not something that ends in 12th grade when you turn 18. So part of it, I just have a number of filters, right? I always try to get a comment in context. So whenever possible, I look for a longer stream of thought if it's a clip video. I have different sort of areas of absolute truth. So no matter how many people line up and tell me that Caitlyn Jenner is a woman, I'm not going to call a person who is a biological male a she. And I know that may get me banned from certain platforms, but it is what it is. So I'm just trying to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground and not lose track of reality.

Because when people control what you say, inevitably they will control what you think. Which brings us to our next story from Fox Business. Hello, everyone. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. Trump Truth Social developing content moderation practices to ensure family-friendly community. That actually sounds like it will be more strict than Twitter. And they go on to say that they're going to be using the Hive artificial intelligence.

TMTG is partnering with Hive, a series D startup providing automated solutions through cloud-based artificial intelligence for understanding images, videos, and text content. Hive's technology provides automated content moderation across video, image, text, and audio. I'm going to tell you what, it ain't going to work. Donald Trump is going to have a more censorious platform than Twitter and many of these other websites. Now Twitter, you know, we'll see, but artificial intelligence moderation can easily, easily be, be bypassed. Maybe not easily, easily, but easily enough. So what's the end result? Does Donald Trump think, does Jason Miller of Getter think people are going to be leaving Twitter, which is censorious, to go to other platforms that are censorious in other ways?

I just don't see it happening. I see people being like, okay, here's what will happen. Instead of following Trump, you'll sign up for a truth social account and follow trump there and then when you want to follow the manga crowd you'll sign up on getter and so you know where this leads leads us to it leads us back to geocities when everyone just has their own website they just may get you to click it's 15 bucks bam and they're actually actually i think you get a free account got a little ad box appears on it that's what we're going it's like you might as well not even have social media at this point because everybody's making their own platform everyone's gonna have crazy rules yep or maybe

i don't know federal federal the uh fediverse is the answer that'll come along with it yeah but but but this one i'll throw this one to you ian how do you feel about donald trump using an artificial intelligence to be arguably more censorious than even twitter is uh i'm trying to find if the code is free or open source. It's Mastodon. They spun up Mastodon, but it's Hive because then they can tack on proprietary stuff onto a free software network

and you've got an amalgamation of free code and private code. And so the entire network isn't free. This makes, I think Hive is proprietary. I'm going to just imagine it because I cannot find their code base. And that's extremely disturbing. That AI could be doing anything and you won't know what it's doing or what it's commanded to do.

But Trump, I mean, like, that's the funny thing about it, right? It's the red, white, and blue. You go to truth.social. It's red, white, and blue. It's a bunch of fascist. And I talk about this like nationalism is like fascism. It's not the same thing, nationalism. But when you whip up nationalist frenzy with corporations like Truth Social, that's fascist.

I mean, red, white, and blue on a social network, that's fascist. Why is that fascist? It has nothing to do with the United States. It's a private company. It has nothing to do with the United States. But what does that have to do with fascism, Ian? They're trying to invoke national fervor to get people to sign up for a private company. For which country?

France, Russia, or the U.S.? Obviously the United States. It's Donald Trump. Come on, man. Are you joking? Jason Miller came in here with a red, white, and blue suit on, dude. It's like they're trying to sell this national – He was wearing a blue suit with a red tie.

Come on, man. I'm just tired of turning on Fox News and seeing red, white, and blue. And MSNBC, red, white, and blue. It's propaganda. And you should make it green. Getter's green. Or Gab is green. Like, it's cool.

It's weird. It's new. Mine is yellow. Look, look, look. Red, white, and blue turns me off anyway. I think – Interesting. I like cool. It's weird. It's new. Mine is yellow. Look, look, look. Red, white, and blue turns me off anyway. I like the American flag, personally. I do, too. Pretty good country.

And Trump is trying to invoke a sense of patriotism. Red, white, and blue is a color scheme. It's an America-themed color scheme. And I don't think it's fascist for him to do that. I think it's more fascistic that it is going to be a sensor-heavy, AI-automated censorship. I think it's like – I look at it as like the first step on the road to fascism. So I call it fascism.

It hasn't – it's not – obviously not fascist. But it indicates like a thread that could pull on to find that later down the road. He's obviously going to censor the hell out of people. That's true. So, so, so, okay.

So this is just market research. They know that their base loves the American flag. They love patriotism. This is their whole shtick. This is their thing. So they're using the American flag. I don't view that as being fascistic. I will say that it looks like it's coming down to be a choice between being censored

from the left or being censored from the right. And I do think that it would be much better if we did have some form of federated system where we could each go and block the people that we don't like but everybody is allowed to say exactly what they think i don't know if we're going to be able to attain true free speech even on the fediverse but we could at least try it's going to be better than this this just looks like a cop-out to me yeah and i mean i mean i i think as you know as flawed as twitter is it one thing i like about is it does allow for conversations for um between people with very very different you know political views and at least we even if the rules on censoring seem

arbitrary at times i think it's one of those things we've just become more used to them and i think that's a different psychological things we've just become more used to them and i think that's a different psychological response than going into a new platform with rules that even the people who create the platform can't articulate in a consistent fashion you know i think we got to be real about uh online platforms and moderation stuff and i think ian probably understands this there's a reason why twitter bans people the left so so first i'll get political the left cannot tolerate on in a general sense disagreement and aggressive you know argument discussion it caused them will wheaton's a great example he's like if alex

jones is allowed to be here saying words i'm gonna quit and it's like okay well that's too much bye quit but when they say things like hey someone's harassing. And it's like, okay, well, that's too much. Bye. Quit. But when they say things like, hey, someone's harassing me, then Twitter's like, I feel like Twitter and these other companies look at their system and they say, what level of moderation can we implement that will maintain the most amount of left-wing users and minimally lose right-wing users? I think their whole thing is like, how can we maximize user base? Because conservatives are willing to stay on the platform even through censorship they know they can censor the right

but the left isn't. So they know they have to censor the right not the left. But I will say there's a reality to Twitter and censorship. I don't really check my replies anymore. Because I know it's just full of insane psycho babble garbage. Not everybody. Sometimes I reply to people. I do. But I know that most of the time it's just full of insane psychobabble garbage. Not everybody. Not everybody. Sometimes I reply to people.

I do. But I know that most of the time it's like, yo, if I tweet something and then I look at the responses of which there's going to be hundreds, sometimes even thousands, it is going to be incoherent, out of context, rage, narcissism, insults. I don't want to bother with it. The reply function to me is worthless. And I'm not trying to, look, it's different for everybody. But I've got a million followers on Twitter.

Don't ask me why. I don't know. I tweet random nonsense. But people are following me, and I know that I can tweet something sometimes as a joke, and I'll still get just thousands of hateful responses. I'm going to be honest. I don't want to use that platform.

Jack Dorsey and the people at Twitter know that. So they said, okay, we've got to ban it. We've got to start banning these people. Yes. Which made the platform worse because they go too far with it. Right. That's when it comes to harassment. That's a very vague term, especially now with internet.

It was a lot easier in the real world before the internet. It was kind of obvious if someone was harassing. It was a little more obvious. Now with the internet, it's like if someone comments on your post over and over and over again people are like they're harassing me they're like no they're not they're just commenting no what would happen on twitter is a person would be like the all these a bunch of people would keep reporting like a group of like a hundred people and be like they're harassing me they're harassing me and they weren't according to the terms but because they would keep getting

reported these same people twitter will end up banning those people yeah to placate the people that are complaining about a misrepresentation of the terms i i had that happen to me one time i was in a twitter debate with a self-described black radical feminist professor um we got into the debate because at one point she was this was around you know she was on a show on a show with mark lamont hill and they were talking about you know texas abortion law and she described herself as pro-family now having been familiar with her work i was like that's not the case she's a person who sort of celebrates the decline of the nuclear family right so at one point she said the black community does not need nuclear families to thrive and boy did that set off a bunch of people now to be fair a lot of the responses were talking about her appearance and

and i don't get down like that but when she finally responded to me she was like you know black men say that uh black women should stick up for them and you should see all the hateful replies and and people like you you knew what you were doing when you did that and and you like it and i was like i was just responding on substance but i think a lot of times what the left does is they will take that type of sort of add those types of ad hominem attacks and use that as a reason to not reply to the sort of substantive issue that's on the table um and i think that's that's an easy dodge the other thing i wanted to say i think ian you bring up a really good point. And I think this is a point that I see articulated on the new right, as I would call it. And that point is, to what extent do American

corporations owe any sense of loyalty to sort of the body politic, the nation in general? Because I think after decades of globalism and free trade, a lot of people are starting to question whether or not companies like Apple and Amazon and Google are really serving the interests of our country because they are quick to criticize, you know, Americans in the middle of the country, Trump voters, but are quiet as church mice when it comes to, you know, any type of criticism or perceived criticism of the CCP. So I think that's a question that's bubbling up. And I think there's a way for companies to feel like, no, we're American companies. We serve American citizens without it being fascistic, as you were saying. One of the components that we've discussed in the show, one of the components of Nazism or fascism,

was the lucrative merger of corporation and state, but it was cultural enforcement. It was when the entirety of the country was so in line with nationalistic fervor, the company would have to fall in line or risk being just canceled,

as it were, right? One way to put it. We have the opposite of that right now. You know, so we have literally the opposite of fascism. And maybe that's why the left was screaming Trump was a fascist, because he did a little bit in favor of the nation. Now, whereas back then, as it would go, is someone would go to the factory and be like, are you producing steel for the war effort?

And then if they weren't, it was like, oh, shun, shun. Now it's the opposite. Now it's who's that invisible wrestler guy? Oh, John Cena? John Cena. Yeah. The invisible wrestler guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm talking about. He makes a video praising China. Or, I'm sorry, apologizing

to China. And that is the acceptable thing. LeBron James, Mark Cuban. they're actually pandering for china look i think there's a fine line between yeah i think i think there's a decent amount of room in between fascism yeah and communism we can very much be in the middle where we're like our companies should not be selling us out to foreign adversaries we also don't expect you to fall in line through cultural enforcement to mass produce for the nation or whatever. Right.

So I'd have a slightly different take. Right. Even if it's not the sort of the mass production for the nation. I remember back when, you know, Citizens United, that decision came down from SCOTUS. And, you know, Mitt Romney famously said that corporations are people, too. And he got hammered by Democrats. But now the political ties have turned to the point where companies sign up or sign on in support of the Equality Act. Or when they say we're not going to go to this particular state because of its abortion laws.

I think big business has inserted itself into some of these political conversations, both in terms of trying to move the needle in the left's direction and as we've seen it for vaccine mandates, as the enforcement arm of the federal government. So the companies say, okay, we know the feds can't mandate that everyone get a shot, but we think that we can force our workers to do it. So the feds will just say, hey hey we want the companies to do x and then we'll take on that responsibility to get you know our our employees as a term as a condition of employment to do what it is that the federal government wanted them to do that's crazy i i'm

worried about what you're talking about about this is a good conversation about corporations and what they owe the country that you know they're based in the united states but for all i know amazon google and apple are about to pick up and move to china their headquarters and just say bye-bye money talks politics is passe what what do they owe it's all about like does the ceo want to stay american at this point what right i mean maybe they owe the shareholders like they i don't think it's part of the corporate charter that they have to stay in the united states um monsanto moved its headquarters, got bought by Bayer, basically merged with Bayer, and now moved their headquarters to, I think, England. I'm not sure where they're at now. Google's headquartered in Ireland, I think, right?

Smart. Fiscally smart, but obviously – These are not American companies. They were started here off of our taxes, our roads, our blood, sweat, and tears, and then they up and relocate. So you know what really drives me crazy is when the left is like, Amazon paid no taxes or whatever. And I'm like, I feel like that's kind of a distraction. The real issue is the Panama Papers. Remember that?

The journalists who exposed it? This is a big deal, actually. The bank accounts in Panama that are popping up all over that apparently belong to Putin's buddy buddy and like all these really and that's the kind of the story that came up and like no one would touch it right but so i mean everybody was talking about it and the journalist died for like a week then there was like another release that i got quashed really quickly but what these companies are doing is i don't i don't care necessarily about the taxes i care about the fact that they've sold us out period yeah that i'm pretty sure google's an island i could be wrong but they're they're setting up in other countries they don't care about us they don't care about the

united states you know google wanted to do that was a dragonfly or whatever that chinese search engine they were arguing that they all want to just be dominant global powers right so it looks like uh alphabet which owns google is in uh Mountain View, California right now. It's called an American multinational company. What the hell does that mean? That they exist everywhere, but they're headquartered in America. Right. But are you looking up their American headquarters? Or are you looking up their actual headquarters?

I just looked up Alphabet headquarters, Alphabet Inc. You can't look up their headquarters. You've got to look up their place of incorporation or whatever. Because you can have a Venezuelan headquarters. You know what look up the headquarters. You got to look up their like place of incorporation or whatever, because because you can have a Venezuelan headquarters. You can have you know what I mean? Right. And I think where the companies are located is one thing. Right. A lot of people, particularly both probably both right and left, would love to see more goods, whether it's PPE, whether it's microchips produced in the United States, you know, bring them to Baltimore or, you know, Chicago, wherever.

But I think the other piece of it is that these corporations insert themselves into our political conversations, oftentimes against the will of the voters. Like the voters in Georgia elected a legislature and a governor to address their issues where all these companies coming in and saying, no, we stand against, you know, what the voters in Georgia want to do and to punish them. We're going to move the MLB all-star game from Georgia to Colorado.

And I think the extent to which these companies, as I said, insert themselves into our political process, that is one of the things that I find to be very, very, very disturbing. Regarding truth social. Just a real quick point of clarification. I believe everything I've looked up says Google is headquartered and based in Mountain View, California. There's often talk of their Dublin data center, and that's probably what I was confused about.

So I assume they would be based in America. America for now. But I don't think they have to stay in the United States. I don't know how that works. They could probably bail. If Sergey and Larry want to say bye-bye, it's terrifying. When it comes to Truth Social, now we're talking like it's a social network that has some American. He's trying to show it's got American values.

It's red, white, and blue. But when I look at it and I see a private proprietary network that is blatantly going to start censoring I just don't get the American values in it like you can slather it with an American flag but unless for me unless you're going to make that code base free then it's not really a free network well yeah the other thing too is that one of the core tenets of American value is the freedom of speech it It's literally in our First Amendment. So I think that it is perhaps a little bit disingenuous to plaster the American flag.

I do think it's just a marketing tactic because they know their base, whatever. Sorry. No, go ahead. So I looked it up. It's called the Double Irish Arrangement. It's a tax strategy used by multinational corporations to lower their corporate tax liabilities. That's crazy. So they don't pay American taxes.

Or it reduces their taxes. I think the Irish are upset about it as well because it pulls money from their country. It also allows Google to operate and probably avoid tax in the United States. I'd have to look up the nitty-gritty details. But even outside of that, I don't think Amazon or Google or any of these companies have our best interests at heart at all. No. And I mean, it's not just the companies i remember a couple weeks ago when i was you know doing research for a column i saw that the head of

the afl-cio i think was basically either explicitly or sort of tacitly taking the position of the administration on vaccine mandates and i was like this is one of the largest unions in the country. They should be advocating on behalf of their workers. But in many respects, the Democratic Party today is much more responsive to the needs of the board of the New York Times than the board of major trade unions. It's just a different day and age. And I think where you see the companies going, you're going to see all these other supporting institutions go as well. I got follow-up on that Monsanto. They were an American company based in Missouri, but then they got bought by Bayer, who is a German company based in Germany. I don't – I was watching the Joe Rogan episode with James Lindsay, and they start talking about Vanguard and BlackRock and State Street, stuff like that.

And then I'm just sitting there thinking like, you know, before I heard that episode, I was kind of worried about what was going to happen to this show because Ian is over here talking about Monsanto. We're talking about Google's tax holdings and Amazon, and we have deplorables on the show frequently. And then we get swatted a couple times. We get DDoS attacks. I'm like, sooner or later, they're going to try and stop us from having this conversation, however they can. But then I saw that Rogan episode, and I was like, they lost. They lost control. They lost control a long time ago.

It's done. When the biggest podcast is – they've lost any kind of centralized ability to manipulate. It's like they're – We're breaking through. They're still in the pilot seat, but they're like, the dials are not responding. But that's where we're at in the story right now. I don't know, man. I was saying this before.

I'm feeling pretty optimistic. It's that Bill Maher stuff. It's the Joe Rogan stuff. It's where the conversations are actually happening. And if the conversations in the media are faltering, they're not breaking through, give it five, ten years and they won't be a part of any conversation. It's only a matter of time before you're going to be turning on the news. Actually, Joe Rogan already sets the news cycle in a lot of ways based on the things he talks about. And that's it.

I mean the New York Times commanded that power a long time ago. Now they're losing it. Now we're taking it back. Did you see a stink bug flying around? Oh, yeah, but I was like, is anyone going to disagree? No, I agree with you. There's a stink bug flying around. I think a lot of everyone paused.

They were like, what is that? I think about the power structure. This kind of comes to my mind once a week or so. Because as we're talking about it a lot, there is a very dark underbelly of power in the world. There always has been, I guess. And it's like if it doesn't like you, it will try and step on you. But you can somehow – I know you can work with it and we can change it for the better, whatever that means. Destruction and creation, the inevitable yin-yang of our species.

Well, I do think that's what we're doing. And I kind of – in some ways, I feel like we're kind of rising to take the place of some of these commentators not necessarily straight news in my instance you're more of the journalistic side of everything although i do like to send you stuff but it's like they're so obviously losing they're losing on the political front i get the impression that 2022 is going to be for lack of a better term a bloodbath and that it will be very red and very splashy i don't think we've ever seen anything like what's coming in 2022 that makes me optimistic but i won't bet the house on it you know hold your horses yeah i think i hear your thoughts hopefully you get it it starts

looking really really good and then all of a sudden it's like oh the mail-in ballots came in late people need to people need to track this because in 2018 i was looking at everything going on in the media and i said i feel feel like the Republicans are going to win 2018. And then initially they did. And the reports came out and it said no blue wave. The Democrats couldn't hold it. But they said, wait, wait, we're still counting. Then a couple of weeks later, they're like, there it is.

There actually was a blue wave. The mail-in votes came in, had to get counted, and then Democrats ended up winning. So I'll just put it this way. Without getting into the nitty-gritty of all of the underlying conditions, I'll just say policies will change. Policies have changed. And the Democrats are trying to ram through their voter overhaul, which could change everything. And the polls may be irrelevant.

What could it change? What's the voter overhaul thing all about? So there's a couple things in it. one it effectively nationalizes elections if any state wants to change or change a rule they have to go to the doj first or something ridiculous it allows uh it creates automatic registration it makes election day a national holiday and it is completely and unquestionably unconstitutional what they're proposing of course they want a voter month instead of a voter day okay that i can kind of get into well that's a violation of the constitution so it doesn't matter i don't like stuff that into one day

because some people get are busy on that that's too bad that's why you make it a holiday i agree with the holiday for sure i like that make it make it a holiday you have one election day that's the way it's supposed to be done because when you when you open it up to several weeks with mail-in voting and early voting you create you open up uh inconsistencies i'm not talking about fraud i'm talking about sometimes because we've got we've got the the rv for we're building out the mobile studio no idea where the keys went why we haven't picked them up in three weeks because we're waiting for the crew to come and do work you just forget what you did with it yeah and so having one voting day where everything is planned, regimented, and according to the Constitution, I think it makes sense. I do think there's questions about population density the founding fathers probably didn't consider.

Fair point. But you can't just be like, we're going to pass a bill that violates the Constitution. And if you don't do it, then you're evil or something. You're a bigot. Yeah, you're far right. Yep. You got to pull this really tight because if you leave any gaps

for any kind, not for fraud necessarily, but for human disorganization, something that we have to factor in. Oh, yeah. Humans are a little bit disorganized. I think we might have figured that out from the last two years.

Holy cow, it's ridiculous. I keep talking about how it seems like the world is built out of toothpicks. It's ridiculous. I never knew how frail our institutions were until this crackdown. you know what's really crazy to me is like as you get older and when i was younger i look at these big systems the ceos the politicians

and the things they do and it felt like everything was very formal and planned and strategic and you know the games i would play with my friends where it's like we're going to play freeze tag and the rule is you know if you're touching the slide you're you're it's glue so they can't tag you and like you just make these implemented now that i'm older i'm like man that's really is everything doing no it is it's like when you when you look at the congress like when we had marjorie taylor green here and she's like you go into congress and there's like five democrats and five republicans and they're voting voting on bills by grumbling and groaning. Like no one's actually listening to or reading these bills. I was like, yo, it's no different than a bunch of kindergartners being like, I get to play with the football because I have brown hair and brown hair goes first.

I just make it up. I remember when we were starting up Mines and I was learning about business. It was basically a mentorship for me to learn about business. And I was like, how do they say what their business is worth? How do you tell people what your business is worth? You just make it up. My company is going to be worth $50 million in five years. Why?

Because we're going to sell 100,000 of these. And then the year after that, we're going to sell a million of them. And it's just, do they believe you? If they believe you, your company is valued at $50 million. Yeah, I know. It's amazing. Sounds like every Shark Tank picture I at 50 million. Yeah, I know. It's amazing. Sounds like every Shark Tank pitch. Yeah, seriously.

I mean, I'll say this as it relates to the elections. Right. I think the last two years have shown that politicians are not particularly good at fixing issues that affect millions of people. They're very good at causing problems for millions of people. And I think I could see people over the last two years who say, you know what? I think I'm a libertarian.

We need fewer laws because fewer laws will inevitably, or more laws will make more criminals. So, you know, I've heard, you know, black folks talk about this for years in terms of the number of, you know, it's illegal to sell loose cigarettes or it's illegal to, you know, panhandle or vend or do all sorts of other things in the city. But the more laws you create, the more opportunities you have for police to come and enforce them. And I think for a lot of people who may not have necessarily cared about, you know, Lucy laws in New York City.

They certainly care about having to wear masks outdoors at their kids football games. And when you see a lady getting tased because she's not wearing a mask outdoors, it'll make you think, OK, do we really want to give, you know, our elected officials more power? So I understand the libertarians. I understand new conservatives who say we just want smaller government. Too much government is causing too many problems in our lives. But one thing I hope all Americans do is to stop thinking that the people we elect to Congress, whether on a federal level or a state level, are going to fix our problems. think and it just goes from well this party will fix it no this party will fix it and i i one of the things i like about you know what i see in terms of the decentralization of information and people starting new businesses is that you know small seems to be better i love to see people particularly young people who say you know what i want to start a family i don't want to be a wage slave for my entire life you know i think getting back to those first order things family and church and institutions and community is is one of the ways we we come out of this because um if we put all of our hopes in in elected officials we've seen

that they're going to let us down every time church yeah it's crazy it's crazy. It's crazy. I think watching the de-religiousification of the country, the increase in secularism, it's not even a question of faith to me. I think there's obviously many people who are Christian will argue that faith in God is a requirement for the religious reason, but there's no meeting place anymore. There's no gathering. There's no conversation. There's no cohesion. So Seamus, for instance, who's a good friend of ours and he'll probably be here this week,

you know, he goes to Mass. Yes. But when he goes there, he meets people. He communicates. He shares ideas. That alone is a powerful force in creating and making sure communities stay together and stay strong. You lose that, you don't got anything.

When do you talk to your neighbors? I guess the problem I've got is I feel like the church co-opted community along the way. The Catholic church was like, we are the authority. You come to us if you want to congregate. We want to oversee it. I think you should talk to Seamus about that. Oh, I definitely have got to. He probably will tell you.

Many nights I'm gonna do that On TV hopefully I mean I definitely felt that in my own personal life My wife and I we found a new church You know close to where we live now And at that point You know she was going in for You know a surgery

Not anything major But it was still You know she was gonna be incapacitated for a couple of days And people just said Hey what do you all need we'll bring food by we'll send you gift cards and let us know if you need help with the kids and that community really does mean a lot so again as a believer the church's doctrine is important what it actually believes about the bible is important but it's also having having that community and that fellowship is really, really important. So you have people there with you when it's time to grieve, if somebody

loses a loved one, and you have people there with you when it's time to celebrate. Like one of the couples, they just had a baby boy. And that's one of the things that we celebrate. We send it around the newsletter. Everybody's praying for them. Everybody's,, everybody's volunteering to help them. And I definitely do think that church is obviously in a very, very important institution. I'll give a shout out to Luke, who is no longer with us. Luke Gronkowski. He's in Florida. In a better place. Yeah, he's in a better place.

Florida. Yeah, Florida. No, West Virginia is pretty rad. But he had a video from 10 years ago called, I think it's called Just Keep Going, You've Got Nothing to Lose. I recommend it. Everybody check it out. And he just talks about how people – millions of people are traveling on the subways of New York every day and they never talk to each other.

Oh, yeah. So he decided to just start talking to them and asking people questions and he shows like they're laughing and they're getting along with each other and stuff. And I'm like that – it's a great video. It's got the piano music in the background. That's on Luke's channel over at We Are Change. You should definitely check out that clip. Seriously, it's a great video. It's got the piano music in the background. That's on Luke's channel over at We Are Change. You should definitely check out that clip. Seriously, it's a good video, and it's like 10 years old. But it's amazing.

He's right. New York, a city of millions of people, and people never talk to each other. They have no place where they gather and share ideas. You know what I mean? Universities, perhaps, but it's not the same. And a lot of the kids at the universities, particularly if there's like NYU or Columbia, they're not even New Yorkers, right? So I do think technology has accelerated that process.

You know, everybody gets on, head in the phone, you know, headphones on. But even as a kid growing up in New York and taking the subway, you're right. You definitely weren't talking to people, especially people you didn't know. I get on. I eat my beef patty.

I drink my Snapple. I'm on my own business. That's it. Well, I think there's such a distinct overlap between the town square and the church. For example, I've been going to church for the last, I want to say, month, maybe month and a half. And it is incredibly refreshing to be around people who are very nice. They're very generous. They really care about what they believe. They're talking about the mask mandate. And it's a very interesting

way to see how this stuff is affecting real life people. But you start to get a sense for what you've lost when you no longer have a church backbone. And I don't really even care if you believe exactly what they believe. And I don't think they do either because they will support you. They will bring you, you know, your casserole if you need help and they'll take care of your kids if you need it. I think that's a big part of what we're lacking. I got a feeling it's mostly about the community and the belief in God or whatever. Some sort of energy

field that's bigger than this hard experience. Whether or not it's church, I don't know. I don't know. I never really have gone to church. I went a couple times when I was a kid. One time I got stung by a bee. I went to an outdoor church and I was like, I think that's a message from God. I'm not going to do this anymore.

My parents never took me. We never went on Christmas or anything like that. But I've learned in my adult years that this God energy, it seems to be real. And even scientifically, it seems to be real. But that alone is not enough. The community is so important. So without church, I haven't really had much community. I mean, where do you go for community anymore?

The internet? Internet chat rooms? I hope not. I mean, that's where I was going in 07, you know. Two things really quick. Lydia, what you just mentioned in terms of, you know, sort of the church sort of having an overlap with the public square. It makes me think of, know what frederick douglas talked about in terms of his type of conservatism now he had three boxes of liberty

oh yeah the cartridge box the ballot box and the jury box i would add a fourth one which is the soapbox oh yeah right being able to sort of express different views and i think social media can play that role at times which is why censorship is so detrimental is because it stops us from being able to talk about things and and share things but the other thing that i that i thought of um you know even when you mentioned you know the belief in god um i'm sure you all are familiar with yuri bezmanoff oh yeah yeah when he gave his talk on ideological subversion and he got to the end he says okay how do you get out of the demoralization you know phase he gave an answer that i did not expect he said god faith you need something that's bigger than yourself yes you need

something um that people will actually be willing to die for because he said nobody's going to die for two plus two equals four but millions of people have died for the things that they really really really believe and i thought that was a powerful point and i didn't expect to hear it from a you know ex-kgb officer but i think we're seeing, particularly over the course of the pandemic, that belief, family, you know, friends, all of those things are important because you can have all of the material goods. You can have everything delivered, you know, by Uber or, you know, some other service. But if you don't have family, if you don't have friends and you don't have anything to believe in that's sort of outside of yourself, it's tough. Let's go to Super Chats.

If you haven't already, smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, get your Super Chats in. We'll read as many as we can get to and go to timcast.com, become a member.

We're going to have a members only uncensored podcast going up around 11 or so p.m. But let's read some of these Super Chats. We got Matt V. He says, Please get Tom Woods on. Working on it. Author of Nullification and Michael Malice's Mentor.

Partial joke. Tom Woods. Jury Nullification? Is that what his Nullification book's about? I don't know. No, I don't know. It says it's Nullification. So we're going to try and get him on?

Yeah, I'm working on it. He's very, very busy. But yes. Very busy guy. What did you say about Michael Malice? I missed that last part. His mentor. Oh, that's Michael and get him on? Yeah, I'm working on it. He's very, very busy, but yes. Very busy guy. Highly recommended. What did you say about Michael Malice? I missed that last part. His mentor.

Oh, that's Michael Malice's mentor? Yeah. I don't know if that's actually true. I believe it is. Oh, really? Yeah, they've done podcasts together. Really? Yeah, he's great.

Tom's awesome. So he's like Michael Malice, but better. So we don't need to invite Michael anymore. Oh, I'll let Michael know. Michael is always welcome on this show. We're big fans of Michael Malice. He's one of the best trolls ever, and I look forward to him as press secretary. This is going to be one of the greatest moments in American history.

Absolutely. The media deserves it, you know? Oh, they sure do. All right. What is this? Murph says, gotta give a super chat for Ian's late night smooth jazz radio host intro. Keep being you, bud. That's great.

Okay. Hello. Ryan McCafferty says, his name is Luke Rudkowski. Is it? Yeah. The last time Luke was here and left, we made the same joke. Luke's in a better place. Yeah.

Florida. Yeah, Florida. Never stops being funny. All right. Let's grab what we got here. It is warm there. Bitcoin event, huh? Stan says, if you're going to the Bitcoin event,

look up Anthony Pompliano, the best business show, great crypt and business guy, Miami local. Yes, I think we've actually reached out to him before about coming on, but he's also a super busy guy. People need to realize, too, these big podcast hosts, they have their own shows. You know, like Anthony, I'm pretty sure he does his own show, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. So, like, asking them to, you know, cancel their show to come on ours is just not going to happen.

But we're lucky enough that people like Alex Jones are always willing. He's fun to have around and have a conversation with. Ben D. says, my house rep held a town hall call today, and after I asked a question about misappropriated wasted federal spending, my chat function was disabled. Wow. That's like sitcom level humor, you know? That's a good sketch idea. Crying tears of joy.

Crying tears of joy. All right. James Rogers says, guys, we're not going to war. It's not good sketch idea. Crying tears of joy. Crying tears of joy. All right. James Rogers says, guys, we're not going to war. It's not around the corner. It's all media bait. We didn't go to war over the USS Pueblo or Gary Powers, and these were legit acts of war. Troops are forward deployed for MAD deterrence. That's all.

Yeah. You know, we'll see for sure. I'm just saying I think it's possible, but I don't think Biden could handle it. And I was reading that he's scared because he'll botch it like Afghanistan. I did see that Britain wants to back the suspension of Russia from the swift payment system. That's something they've been talking about since 2014. That's wild. So they're trying to do the economic route.

I don't think no one wants a hot war. Yeah, I know. Most people don't. Waffle Sensei says,an if luke is returning to dagobah because he's skywalker does that make tim han solo lydia leia and you chew baka yeah definitely because i approve that message i love you i don't know about any of that stuff but ian is chew baka i think actually kind of makes sense not the first and you won't be the last that's basically what i sound anyway to people who don't understand me

all right alex says no Luke, we nuke. In all seriousness, though, Kyle Rittenhouse was just on Candace Owens' show. Any chance you could get him on the show? Perhaps. What I said last time is after he was found not guilty and we all celebrated, congratulations, and we were very happy to hear that justice was being served properly. Everybody's trying to get him on the show. He was on Tucker, and I was like, well, let's wait until we're a little bit past this and then we can bring him on to talk politics

with his voice on the like i don't i don't like the flavor of the month stuff yeah if we're going to have him on it's going to be for him to talk about his ideas his experiences and what he thinks moving forward as opposed to like everyone's google searching his name so get him on the show now yeah i'm not accusing anybody of having done that it's just what media companies do you know i so i went through with occupy wall street after occupy i get all this press attention and then they're like quick hire him and then i was just like dude you only want to hire me because there's press that you want to buy i don't want to be involved in that man all right yellow cafe says did luke leave the show or is he just not present today if he left why did he leave if he's just not present, when will Luke be back?

Luke was really scared. With all the security stuff going on, he actually cried. He did. He peed his pants. That's right. He was crying. He was so sad. He was crying and he hid in the closet.

Yeah, he did. And he's not here to defend himself or refute these accusations. So it's too bad for him. Okay, no. In all seriousness, Luke has always just been our winter friend. He comes when it's colder up north. Yeah. He comes.

It's weird because it's still cold here. I guess it's way colder up in New Hampshire. It's not that cold. But then he hangs out for about Christmas, and then he goes down to Florida. And I think actually Luke will be back in about a week. Yeah, we've got a big show on the 3rd. Yeah, but we'll see. But then Luke will probably just go back.

So he'll probably be back just like periodically. And then probably once it starts getting cold again around fall, Luke comes back and sits in the chair. But maybe we bring in someone else to fill that Luke chair. Avoid. I don't know. Maybe that's it for Luke because he doesn't want to be on the show anymore. Oh, snap. Sorry, Luke.

What happens? Luke wants to be able to go and do whatever he wants and then come back and join the show whenever he wants. And I'm like, for sure,

we're always glad to have him because Luke's fantastic. But we're like, why did you take off your targeting system? And he's like, he's using the force right now. And we're like,

why'd you take off your targeting system, Luke? But that's not what Ian would say to him. Well, I just, yeah, yeah. You'd be like, he's using the Force right now. We're like, why'd you take off your targeting system, Luke? You were here, you know? That's not what Ian would say to him. Oh, I would, yeah, yeah. You'd be like, oh. I'd tell him he's a Force. You know what I'm saying, though.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Star Wars jokes. James Rogers says, I have a question for Mr. Squires. My friend is a huge fan of The Blaze. I find it irritatingly based. But you're a man who cares about journalism, so I respect that. My question is, how do you guys vet your stories and sources? I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer that question. I mean, I'm a contributor. I'm not on

the sort of the straight news side. So I'm not sure how that happens. I mean, me personally, if I make any contention or claim, um, about something that's factual, I certainly make sure that I check it, you know, twice at least. Um,

so if I make a falsifiable claim, you can be pretty certain that I, that I know it to be true and I have the evidence to back it up. So I would hope that every, everybody else at the blaze does something similar. Um, but I mean, I mean, I think that's a general criticism for media and journalism in today's day and age. All right.

Blue C says, Delano, just checked out Civitas' website. Thank you for your work doing the work to lift people up and educate families. Yes. What's Civitas? So it's a company I created last early last year. So what I hope to do is be able to work with organizations that serve sort of, you know, communities. So help organizations that help people. So that's that's part of what I would like to do. So consulting. I mean, when I first started, I had one particular thing in mind, but as we move forward, you know, if there are opportunities to, you know, work with local nonprofits that, you know, trying to help K-12 kids or return to citizens, you know, ex-offenders, you know, single moms, whoever, promote marriage and family and education, I'm all for that.

Where can people, is there a website people can check out? Yeah, it's Civitas, C-I-V-I-T-A-S-C-G.com. All right. Debbie Grumman says, I've never heard such exact and complete truth. We are being led by cowards, cowardly media, big tech, and government. We the people are the brave. For sure. All right.

David says, I didn't do it. I spent zero days locked in my house. Reminds me of that meme where it's the NPC face saying, if you just comply, we'll get our freedoms back. And the person says, if you don't comply, you never lose your freedom in the first place. And the NPC just gets mad. Yeah.

I also tweeted out in the United States, we don't have freedoms. We have freedom. And this weird government bull crap, corporate crap, trying to make you think that you can split freedom apart and take pieces of it.

That's not how it works. Yeah. I mean, 2020, we had a kid. You know, we celebrated, you know, another kid's birthday. We went out to restaurants. We went to, I think we went to a wedding, at least one.

We just, you know, lived our life. Yeah, man. That's one of the reasons we came out here from the Philly area, because I could see how bad it was getting. And now out here, it's like I haven't even noticed it since we got out here. Jeez, I went for a walk earlier today. The air is so clean. It's nice out here, yeah. Sure.

Blue C says, Neil Young told Spotify you can have Joe Rogan or me, not both. I deleted my Neil Young from my list. Yeah, I can do without neil young dude yeah not only that but like all of your stuff's on youtube anyway so old yeah shout out to crosby stills nash and young i love those guys all right let's uh there's the uh there's a quote let's see so um some people are saying Simp is short for simpleton Simpleton It's a pimp C reference

And it also has an acronym Which is suckas Let me see where is it Idolizing mediocre P word Oh yeah yeah so I thought it was an acronym I just couldn't find it So Ian was correct I was wrong I stand corrected simpleton

Thank you good sir Elmer Fudd says wow Tim, Tim, you have a great guest. I look forward to hearing Professor D. His ability to access the underlying root of problems is spot on. I learn something from him every time I hear his assessments. The fruit of his message is hope. Respect to that. Wow, wow. Very nice.

All right. Carl Andrews. Oh, man, this is a big one. This is a big story. Last week, a truck carrying 100 test monkeys for CDC crashed in central PA. Started out four missing monkeys and changed to three. Please Google TV 10 Danville PA monkeys and check article. Very fishy. The woman's remarks to the news.

Yeah, like the monkeys got away. That's suspicious. That's winter. You know, they won't survive, to be honest. It's like fugitive. Yeah, nothing bad could happen. No, it's winter. The monkeys will just freeze to death. That's terrible. Yeah, it's winter. They won't survive, to be honest. It's like Fugitive. Yeah, nothing bad could happen. No, it's winter. The monkeys will just freeze to death.

That's terrible. Yeah, it's sad. It's very sad, but it's true unless they figure it out. I got Cassandra texting me some video of her monkey. It's really awesome. Cass, monkeys. I love you. All right.

Let's grab some super chats. There was a really good one I saw. I want to see if I can... Carrie Carpenter says, Howard Stern actually said, anyone unvaxxed that gets COVID shouldn't get care from a hospital and should go home and die.

Wow. Yikes, man. Howard Stern lost it, man. Yeah, big time. Mike Darusha says, Harrison Bergeron, please read it and at least talk about the premise of forced equity we have talked about all the time yeah i know we talked about it several times short story have you read it before great short story it's fascinating no i

don't think so like about this guy it's about a dystopian future where instead of propping up the greatest among us they they clip off everybody's wings. The people that can sing really well have throat pinchers on. And so this guy sheds off all of it. And you see what society... It's well worth reading. Yeah, it's very short. All right.

Let's see. Wait, what? Aussie says, without that Luke putting up his dukes, it ain't no fluke. It's making me puke. Glorious. Thank you for that. Here's a good one. Bobby Bob says, my favorite is that black people can't be racist, but people like Candace

Owens are Schrodinger's racist. That's a good one. Schrodinger's racist. What do you feel about that whole whiteness and blackness is a thing that's not skin color related? I mean, political whiteness. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, these concepts are so, you know, in many ways amorphous that they just get used by whoever wants to use them for whatever purpose

they have at the time. So when the National Museum for African American History and Culture came out with this thing about, you know, white culture and whiteness, and it listed the nuclear family and objectivity. I was like, this kind of stuff is trash. It's bad. It's bad sociology. And again, I always try to try to reach for something sort of that underlying problem. And I think bad sociology flows out of bad theology so when you don't understand the

nature of human beings you're bound to take things that are common across people and ascribe them to whatever characteristic is different in that particular person so I think a lot of it is junks and to your point once you go from blackness being something about phenotype and looks and genetic background to political views, then I think the ship has sailed altogether. So political blackness, I think, that concept is nonsense. Yeah, I agree. Because Luke, who's Polish, they call a person of color. And he's got blonde hair and blue eyes. But for real, they say Slavic people are people of color because it's got blonde hair and blue eyes but for real they say slavic

people are people of color because it's political it's not makes no sense yeah all right david with a good point y'all like assuming things about truth social how about wait till it comes out and see how it's constructed it's a very good point just that there's reports coming out devon nunes is saying they want to make it family friendly and i don't think it's completely wrong they have to make sure illegal content isn't on the platform and they're going to use that service for it. So we'll see. Maybe they'll end up doing a much better job and maybe we'll all really enjoy it. Yeah.

You know, I realize I don't want to slam on it too hard. I'm just pointing out warning signs I see in the beginning. But same. I went through this with Chris Pavlosky at Rumble. There was a time when I was going hard on when Dave sold Locals to Rumble. And I could have turned on Rumble and just been like the demon, proprietary. I don't want to play that game because we're all in this together. And the people that built True Social might end up making a fantastic piece of software with it.

Same is true for Getter. When someone said you may have killed Getter, how do you feel? I'm like, not good. Getter might be bad in terms of – Getter might be worse than Gab in terms of free speech, but they're better than Twitter in terms of free speech. So for all of their faults, it's still an increment in the right direction, I guess. Take what you can get. Here's some praise.

E. Jackson says, love Delano, our modern Thomas Sowell. Praying God gives him an even bigger platform. Thomas Sowell is still around, though, isn't he? He is. He is. Have you talked to him? I have not. When I see comments like that, I think about Bill Parcells and what he said about Tony Romo when he first started to get a little bit of shine.

He said, put away the anointing oil. I'm just trying to grow where I'm planted. Yeah, man. Do your thing and let it to go it is the time of souls i appreciate amazing yeah of course oh gee yeah smart fella man yeah all right what is this jeffo says have you guys heard of heard of quux it was created by millie weaver used to work for info wars but is now creating this great device even better and secure software. I have not. I know nothing of this.

Take a look into it, though. Seems like something Ian said. How do you spell? Q-U-X? Q-U-X. Q-U-X. Anorak says, last I knew, the people who think they are animals trapped in the wrong bodies were called Therians, as in Therianthrope or animal person. Furries are people

who like stuff with anthropomorphic creatures. Humans are boring. Yeah, furries dress up like cartoons. They don't dress up like actual animals. Like they're animals

but they're cartoon animals. Yeah. And there was like, I was reading an article about it and like one of the furries was wearing like Mega Man armor. So they were like a wolf Mega Man, I guess.

And I'm like, that's clearly not an identity about being an animal. They're like Mega Man armor so they were like they were like a wolf Mega Man I guess and I'm like that's clearly not an identity about being an animal they're like Mega Man but with a wolf face so whatever that was oh my gosh hey man

people can do whatever they want cosplay is fun you know yeah it's when they some I saw one being like but it's when they take their fantasy cosplay and then they want to

dictate other people's behavior that's when I take issue with it like putting the litter box I don't apparently that didn't happen the litter box in the bathroom i think it was well there wasn't that it wasn't that a joe rogan joke i don't know i've heard that one i did maybe it wasn't joe but some comedian said that they went to a uh they were at a show and they went to i

think it was rogan they went to a hotel and the hotel at a furry convention or something oh my god google it so there's just i heard that recently i did hear there was a teacher who got in trouble for not meowing back to a student. No, there's no way. I thought she got fired, but I'm going to check that out. I'll double check that. I'll fact check myself. I don't know, man, but at this point, I'm willing to believe anything you ask.

Yeah, honestly. Yeah. I mean, that's a sign of a civilization decline when you can't distinguish between truth and satire. Yeah. I got to tell you, man. All right. Here we go. We got a mean one for Ian, but I'm gonna read it.

Thanks. Brian says, Ian is birth control. Get rid of that anti-American hippie please and thank you. About to unsubscribe with the others

over this anti-red, white, and blue rhetoric. I think that's supposed to be like over-the-top sarcasm, right? I am the birth control. No, I mean like the point about

unsubscribing is just they actually like Ian so much they're making the joke that no one would unsubscribe over Ian's. That's what I'm picking up there. I think that guy got triggered by me smacking Truth Social around. Sorry, man. Some people get really like emotionally attached to the red, white, and blue American nationalism storyline. I'm just – I just kind of see a bigger picture. I'm more than happy to argue with ian over that kind of stuff but the issue for this show is we want to get our facts straight and we want to have discordant opinion

on the show we don't want to be an echo chamber yeah and so you know if your concern was like ian is factually incorrect and isn't is consistently like that was someone was pointing out i bet okay that is an issue and you got to make sure you read the stuff and we've had those conversations when like you know talk to seamus about religion and Seamus has challenged you. That's fine. But like someone having an opinion over something when you're more than willing to, you know, entertain the conversation. The way I came at this story was we saw a little sapling growing and I took a huge mallet and smashed it and was like, fascism. And it's like, yo, you just acted really extreme to this conversation.

You did this with Trump the other day. I see it growing into this beautiful fascist tree, so that's why I brought it up. You were like, do you think – I can't remember exactly what you said, but you were like, do you think Donald Trump really – something like cares about people? And then I can't remember what the guess was. They were like, you know, I think he's in it for himself. And then you just got really mad. You were like, Trump, I knew it. He's just doing this.

And you were like, you're assuming that. I was like, you just literally made up a reason that got you really angry. You know, Trump aside, red, white and blue aside, if this code base for Truth Social was available, free software and all the code was available, I would have no problem. I'd be so jazzed about this. Oh, I have to say before we move on. It's from January 15th in the postmillennial teacher alleges she was fired for not meowing back at student who identifies as a cat. Quote, we no longer need your services if you can't identify with all the children in the classroom, the substitute teacher alleges the school's office said.

That's fun. I'm sorry, man. Like, as much as I'd like to believe it, I'm going to need to watch a video or something because that's not enough. Yikes. All right, let's see what we got. Austin Walter says,

make it illegal to invest 401ks in hedge funds investment outside the US. They don't pay taxes on profits. Keep the money invested here. Interesting. Well, maybe companies just jump ship, you know? Yeah. Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, Tim and guys, when my brother visits,

we rock out to IRL. He was always based, but now he's more knowledgeable. He likes the long-haired guy, LOL's that who's their son raymond g sandley jr's brother dude that's awesome raymond sup dude there you go eris roy says the super chat is for ian i started listening to this as a center curious male and really disliking ian after he said he did lsSD one time and talked to bugs, he promptly became my spirit animal. They communicate through dance.

Let yourself go. Last night? One time I was hanging out with a bunch of bugs, and I was on LSD. You want to talk about communication? Last night I was listening to the water drip in my sink. You guys should try this someday. I think it's whatever the bacteria... You hear it playing a melody. Or Ian, you got to chill out on the house and then you sing no lsd and you what you do is just like

with birds when birds chirp if you mimic them back to them they stop they hear you and then like oh my gosh he's communicating with us same with the bacteria in that drain if you start singing back the melody that is dripping it starts dripping with you it'll start playing back to you and like playing with and like communicating with you. Ian, I don't think that's correct. It might not be the bacteria. It might just be the water, but it seems only like bacteria-laden sinks

that I hear that. Oh, boy. All right. Yeah. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I was like, what is happening?

All right. Communicating with the non-humans. Nevermore says, hey, Tim, do you have any tales of the inverted world t-shirts planned or on the way? We do now.

We do now. Since you just said let's let's get some of those shirts and uh we'll have them for tales from the inverted world i'm really excited for season two and the new book coming out because you know i don't want to i can't i don't know if i can give away this i think i just got to say it guys like somebody died during the investigation like one of the sources whoa yeah Some crazy stuff's going on. Wow. Yeah, this is going to be crazy. Wow. Investigating lost Confederate gold.

Some people do not want it to be found. I'm excited. It's crazy. I'm like, I can't believe. The stories are so insane that they're so, like, we often get people on the website commenting, saying, I don't like reading fiction and then shane who's the the author shane cashman has to say like this is a true story like it's not fiction it's not fiction like we're investigating this stuff it's real and then people are like no

like yes they're true stories crazy stuff i'm really excited for this somebody puked we get it luke's not here i'm sorry i'm sorry keep a bucket handy michael sullivan says i agree with your point tim but a red white and blue theme truth is true social wouldn't exactly clash with the french or russian flag keep it the good work tim tim cast we appreciate you that's it truth social yep it's a russian style oh my gosh i knew it all right we got this one from ywb and it's a bunch of letters active duty for 10 years the forever wars woke ideology failed foreign policy illegal vax mandates skyrocketing suicide rates and our corrupt leadership are destroying our military we are going to lose a

lot of good people in the next war yeah i was talking to a dude um maybe about six maybe eight months ago yeah it's been a while now and he was uh it was a guy who he said he was a career military and he was hoping to stay in the military his whole life retire and he quit he was like in his uh he was an officer he was in his like early 30s i guess and he was just saying it's gone too crazy yeah so he's gonna go private he can't do it has this ever happened in the history of American military where people just quit en masse because they disagreed with policy? Not that I could think of.

Maybe, but I don't know. It's just like we're about to be getting into some war in Ukraine potentially or war with China. You see the women doing the bosom dancing on TikTok, the army girls. Oh, yeah. The viral video where they're shaking their chests, you know, whatever the dance is.

Six girls, six women. Clip that one for a GIF. They're doing it like where they slam their chest. And I'm like, it's really great choreography. I'm really – it's great. I wonder if Russia is sitting there being like, oh, no, they're going to beat us in the dance-off. And then we lose. That's how it works.

Death by Snoo Snoo? That would be cool to get some Russian troops, some American troops to do a dance-off and then we lose that's how it works that would be cool to get some russian troops american troops to do a dance-off yeah i i saw um it might have been on tucker carlson where he played um different clips i can't remember it was on a conservative show where they played the clips from the russian recruitment ads the chinese recruitment ads and then the american recruitment ads and for the first two what you get a sense of is the country saying, sign up to fight for us because we are a country that's worth defending. So the point of the ad was about service to country. Our ads were sign up to fight for us because this will be one way that you can

self-actualize and pursue your dreams. So like many things in our country, it was infected with sort of the worst types of narcissism. And it's all about me, me, me, me, me. And I think when you have people who are willing to die for their country because they love it that much, and then you have others that think that their country is sort of a cesspool of racism and white supremacy and patriarchy um you're not going to be fighting on on on an even playing field you know the problem i'm got right now is i'm willing to die for the ideals that the american constitution laid out but i'm not willing to die for this fascist government well that's the thing man when we had

when people truly believed in this country they were willing to die for it now we're at a point where we know the politicians are corrupt the corporations are corrupt and people are just like why bother yeah so they increased the sign-on bonus into like fifty thousand dollars recently from up from 40 or something like that so it's they're just they're just that that could be inflation you know what i mean but i think i don't know how you're going to convince people to want to join into that service you know and and and to be clear i don't know how you're going to convince people to want to join into that service. Yeah. And, and,

and to be clear, I don't think no country is perfect. Obviously, you know what I mean? We're talking about, you know, Russia and China. And even in,

in America's history, there was a time when, you know, when the Tuskegee Airmen were fighting for a country in which they couldn't even get served in parts of the South when they came home. But I think most people thought of it. it's both the nation and its government and also the people. And we're to the point now where our leaders are constantly telling us that the country

that they lead is hopelessly corrupt, racist, and patriarchal. And that is the big difference. Fight for it. Yeah. All right, everybody. Here's what we're going to do. You're going to smash the like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, go to TimCast.com, be a member for that special members-only segment coming up around 11 or

so we should put out a call for anybody who can look and act like Luke and then we'll do a gag we're in the vlog who's gonna be our new Luke Kretkowski? All right, everybody. You can follow the show at TimCastIRL basically everywhere. Follow us on Instagram for clips.

So what Ian was saying about bacteria in the faucet actually made me think because there is a concept called the music of the spheres, which is an ancient scientific idea of there actually being like a music that can be heard in your soul that comes from

the planets and all of this interesting stuff. So you guys should definitely check that out. Look it up. I don't know if bacteria are in on it, but that sounds really interesting.
