Speaking before the Senate, Victoria Newland confirmed there are biolabs in Ukraine and that the U.S. is concerned Russia may seize them and that the U.S. is working with Ukraine to figure out what to do with these biolabs. Now, of course, we've been getting an endless stream of media claiming it's all a big conspiracy theory and these fact checkers do something interesting. They fact check an extreme version of the story. So you see this meme going around saying that Russia was striking U.S. biolabs and say, oh, it's all fake. It's all fake. That way, when someone says, oh, but Ukraine does have biolabs, people assume it's the same story and they're actually quite different. So we will take our time debunking the actual fake news and showing you this testimony about actual biolabs in Ukraine,

I think is significant because if we're trying to understand how to end this conflict with peace and negotiations, diplomacy, we kind of need to know what the complaints are from the people who invaded. Granted, I think Putin is in the wrong completely. He invaded, but it makes sense to understand the full context of the story. So we're going to that Joe Biden is banned oil and energy and all energy imports from Russia. Gas has set a new record high and everyone's basically saying it's going to get a whole lot worse. And Stephen Colbert says, what's a couple bucks for a clean conscience, a couple bucks per gallon that is. So for all of you have to commute to work and don't make that much money, maybe you're making 15 bucks an hour. Congratulations. It's going to cost twice as much to't make that much money, maybe you're making 15 bucks an hour. Congratulations.

It's going to cost twice as much to fill up the gas tank, but it's okay. You'll have a good, a clean conscience. So we're going to talk about all that stuff. We also got the parental rights and education bill in Florida passing. Democrats call that the don't say gay bill, which is a complete and total lie in fabrication because the bill has barely anything to do with that subject matter. It's funny. The bill mostly is like if a kid has any kind of medical issue, the parents have to be told.

And that's basically it. It's like things that happen in school, parents need to be told about it. And so now all of a sudden Democrats are marching around saying gay over and over again. It's kind of weird. But we'll get into that. Joining us to discuss these issues today is Greg Price. How's it going, man? I'm good.

It's good to be back on issues today is Greg Price. How's it going, man? I'm good. It's good to be back on. I'm Greg Price. I'm with a company called X Strategies LLC. We are advisors and digital strategists for a bunch of conservative politicians and nonprofits and super PACs, and we work to elect America first candidates and unelect the rhinos. The CEO of our company today had to testify before the sham january 6th committee shout out to alex brujewicz for having to suffer through that today too yeah and um and rick itario got arrested yeah he did conspiracy on january 6th even though he wasn't there they're

claiming that he was involved in planning or something well yeah that's the thing they're they're hauling people before this committee who had nothing to do with the riot at the Capitol, and they're trying to simply criminalize everyone that supported President Trump. Well, they're saying on average a response to the subpoena for the January 6th committee costs $100,000. Yeah, they're wasting your tax dollars. No, no, no, no, your money. You need to hire a lawyer and spend $100,000 in personal money to answer the subpoena. Yeah, that's true. Alex

had to do that, and it's been really terrible for him, and that's what they're doing. They're just going after all of these people that had nothing to do with it, but simply supported Donald Trump. I also forgot to mention, McDonald's is shutting down over 800 locations in Russia, too. Golden Arches theory, too, because they know two countries

that have a McDonald's won't go to war with each other. Not true, but sure. No, that's why they're doing it. It's a fact. It's a fact. Seamus Coghlan of Freedom Tunes, by the way, happy to be here. Uploaded a new cartoon today about our military preparing for World War III and the LGBTQ diversity policies.

I think you guys might enjoy it if you want to go check that out. Thank you very much. Yeah, I was just looking at average California gas prices now over $5 a gallon from LA Times with an image of a $6.30 gas. So you could have said it was over $6. It's just the way that they're framing the media. It's $7 in LA. I saw $7.60 for one image.

But their consciences are really clean. Yeah. For now. I think people don't realize that vehicles in California are around good intentions. Yeah, exactly. So all those clean consciences. Love will get you to do your destination.

Your conscience is going to be – and I'm sure Colbert's conscience is going to be really clean when food becomes all but entirely unaffordable for poor people because gas prices have gone up and it's more difficult to get food to grocery stores. People don't realize this is why they virtue signal so much, so they can power their vehicles. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, that's right. Emotions. The word motion is in the word emotion. People don't realize this is why they virtue signal so much, so they can power their vehicles. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, that's right. Emotions. When you pay – The word motion is in the word emotion. Emotion.

That's right. When you're paying $70 for a tank of gas and your grocery bill goes up by $1,000 a month, all you need to do is think to yourself, at least we're helping Ukraine. Yes. That's what it's all about, man. That's right. We got Lydia pressing the buttons. I'm also here in the corner.

I'm excited for tonight's conversation because I spend most of the day very upset about the price of gas. I saw that it went up $0.08 a gallon overnight in Colorado, and it hit a new record here as well. So hopefully I'll be able to keep calm, and we'll be able to make some good progress tonight.

It is but a tweet from Glenn Greenwald, who says Ukraine has biological research facilities, says Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland, when asked by Senator Rubio if Ukraine has biological or chemical weapons and says she's worried Russia may get them. But she says she's 100% sure that if there's a biological attack, it's Russia. And actually, Marco Rubio intervened in her answer to answer for her. And it is one of the

most disgusting things. Marco Rubio, man, talk about a bad person. But let me play for you this clip because this is truly revealing. Well, I only have a minute left. Let me ask you, does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons? Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of. So we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach? I'm sure you're aware that the Russian propaganda groups are already putting out there all kinds of information about how they've uncovered a plot by the Ukrainians to release biological weapons in the country

and with NATO's coordination. If there's a biological or chemical weapon incident or attack inside of Ukraine, is there any doubt in your mind that 100% it would be the Russians that would be behind it? There is no doubt in my mind, Senator, and it is classic Russian technique to blame on the other guy what they're planning to do themselves. Wow. If there was anything that could remove all confidence I had in what Victoria Nuland was saying, it's Marco Rubio teeing up the answer to her. Of course, if there isn't, it's Russia, right? You agree it's Russia? Yes. Okay, then. Yo, just let her answer the questions. But I digress.

Here we have Undersecretary of State saying, well, there's bio labs in Ukraine and we're concerned Russia could get them. Now, let's just put aside anything outside of this because there were conspiracies. I don't want to have anything outside of that. Let me just say, is it a serious concern for us in the United States that Ukraine has bio labs? What are they researching? I don't know. What if Russia gets a hold of them?

Is there something there that we should be concerned about? Is this maybe why Vladimir Putin says I'm going into Ukraine? Because that was what a lot of people were saying. Now, that's not a conspiracy theory. If you are speculating that the motive of Vladimir Putin was to gain access to research facilities, I'd say that's war. Like if you have a military base and another country invades to gain control of that base, I'd be like, OK. So is that maybe what we're looking at?

Well, I just want to mention something about Secretary of State Nuland here. She's a very interesting figure. So one thing that she mentioned in 2013 is that the United States government had spent over five billion dollars trying to promote democracy in Ukraine. And there was a leaked phone call between her and America's ambassador to Europe where she was discussing who she thought would be a good leader for Ukraine. And wouldn't you know, it just happens by coincidence, a couple weeks later, that person

becomes prime minister. Oh, really? Yeah. And so we talk about how Russia spending 46, and not even Russia, non-state actors in Russia spending $46,000 on Facebook ads was a quote-unquote act of war. And the United States government has thrown literal billions of dollars at Ukraine to influence their leadership.

This woman was on the phone on record saying there was a specific person she wanted in charge of government there. That person ends up in that position weeks later. And I'm supposed to trust this person, that they have the best interest of that nation in mind, and that she's going to tell me about Russia's nefarious deeds. The CIA just overthrew. I mean, they were part of a coup when they put in Poroshenko.

And, yeah, I mean, that's just on the table now. How do you know? 2014. Everything I look at says there's overwhelming evidence the United States, now that we've accepted that the CIA has been involved with the overthrow and I'm like is there evidence that says that we need that that's not this is what so it's not

this every time I ask it they're like yeah it's totally totally confirmed to who to who I thought it you on the show like last week we know it was heavily it was heavily speculated first of all there were major protests in Ukraine it is widely speculated believed the West was well first of all it's a fact the West was very much supporting the Euromaidan protests. That doesn't mean the U.S. made Yanukovych flee. There's a big difference between the CIA actually having agents and assets going

in and doing these things. Now, that being said, I would not be surprised in any sense that the CIA did this. I'm just, I want to be very, very careful and precise because we're dealing with the fact that the Undersecretary just said there are biolabs. Okay, let's start from there. Is Russia pissed about that? Very well, maybe. Now we have this story from USA Today.

This is why getting the fact perfect is important. They say, fact check, false claim of U.S. biolabs in Ukraine tied to Russian disinformation campaign. So right there, you have interesting points. U.S. biolabs. Okay. Well, they're Ukrainian, according to Victoria Nuland. She said Ukraine has biolabs. So you see how they do this. They slap U.S. biolabs in front of biolabs and all of a sudden the whole story is fake. Yeah. So yeah, exactly. They fact check a different story than the one that's actually being discussed and then

anytime the story comes up, they get to slap false on it. So here's what they say. The claim, there are biolabs in Ukraine funded by the US government. Now, I will say we read on this show a US government site talking about US funded research and biolabs in Ukraine. So I don't know what that was all about. They say in the early morning hours, Putin launched a full-scale military, blah, blah, blah.

Similar posts claimed Russia destroyed seven of the 11 supposed labs in missile strikes. The claims are wrong. Independent fact-checking outlets reported. I actually don't think those claims are true, to be honest, because we looked at the map of missile strikes and the map of labs,

and they don't line up. It's weird that people would make that claim when all you need to do is say, Putin's mad about labs. He's probably blown up stuff near the lab so that he can take the labs. Yeah, I would assume Russia wants the biolabs, as Newland actually said in front of Marco Rubio. Russia would seize them. If it's war or not, I think historically you see border skirmishes that aren't considered war.

Like if an enemy is setting up artillery on the border on the other side of the border from your country you may send in a party to destroy the artillery and then come back. And it's not really an act of war it's more of just like or sometimes they go in and they'd steal food from like the enemy but it wasn't really war. You ready for this part of the same article? Oh yeah. The same article says the Ukrainian and

US governments partnered in August 2005 to prevent the proliferation of dangerous pathogens and related expertise and to minimize potential biological threats, according to the treaty. Interfax Ukraine reported in May 2020 that part of the agreement was aimed at modernizing state laboratories in the Odessa, Kharkiv, Lviv, Kiev, Vinnytsia, Kherson, and Dnipropetrovsk regions. I'm trying. Those efforts included making repairs updating equipment and purchasing supplies the security service of ukraine to the laboratories financed from the state budget are subordinate to the ministry of health and the state services on food safety and

consumer protection according to interfax ukraine the u.s embassy in ukraine sought to set the record straight on these bio labs claim in april 2020 calling the theories disinformation spreading in some circles in ukraine that mirrors russian disinformation regarding the strong U.S.-Ukrainian partnership to reduce biological threats. It sure sounds like they're trying really hard to claim that although the U.S. did partner and help Ukraine with a lot of the work they were doing in certain biological areas, these are not U.S. biolabs. Okay, well, no, that's true.

They're not. They're Ukrainian. But is the U.S. involved? I'd sure like to know. Well, usually they hire a company like EcoHealth Alliance to get involved for them so that they can wipe their hands of it. Well, yeah, what's with our country and, like, funding all of this insane biological research around the globe as, you know, we saw with war has been presented to us in the media is that, you know, Ukraine is the good guys who can do no wrong and everything. We have to take the government of Ukraine's word over, over anything else. And as we've seen, we've been fed so many, so many lies as this war has happened between, you know, imminent nuclear meltdown that turned out to be false as Zelensky

was calling for a no fly zone. And I think it just goes back when you're in a war, propaganda is very important and propaganda to help your side win is very important. And a lot of that is being, a lot of that is just being fed to us by our media. I want to read the last portion of this article they say, because this is interesting. Based on our research, we rate false the claim that there are U.S. biolabs in Ukraine funded by the U.S. government. The posts misrepresent a treaty between the United States and Ukraine aimed at preventing biological threats. The labs are owned and funded by the Ukrainian government. The Security Service of Ukraine and the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine have said the claim is

false. Reports indicate the claim is tied to a years-long Russian disinformation campaign aimed at discrediting the U.S. Okay, fair. I totally accept all of that. Okay, so Ukraine does have biolabs. So when the narrative came out that Russia was concerned about biolabs in Ukraine, that was legitimate?

Yeah. Like, is Russia really concerned about that? All right. Sorry, everybody, you know, that they're spreading this disinformation. How about we just talk about the truth, that there are biological research facilities in Ukraine, and that Russia wants to seize them? Well, because like- Or the US fears Russia will. Yeah.

Well, like I said on our last episode, the only time you need to really come in with these fact checks is if there's some kernel of truth that you don't want people discussing. That seems to be the case very often. Maybe I'm being a little hyperbolic, but we see it frequently. And I will say this. After the last five or six years, it is absolutely laughable that they think they would have any credibility talking about a A, biological laboratories, bioweapons labs, and where they're getting their funding, and B, Russian disinformation.

It doesn't exactly bolster my confidence in the veracity of their claims that they're using that phrase. Look at this. We have the story from Bloomberg. This is funny. China pushes Russia conspiracy theory about U.S. labs in Ukraine. Russia, wouldn't you just put Russian? I don't know why they labeled it that way, titled it that foreign ministry urged u.s to name viruses stored in labs i wonder if the world has yet to call russia's military action an invasion i bet the word russia gets better clicks better like internet search results than russian that's why they did it you a fan of that bio lab name three of their viruses sorry yeah and this is this is literally the same these are the same types of headlines that we saw at the beginning of the covid pandemic with the when people were

pushing the lab leak theory i'll never forget the one from the washington post when they literally said tom cotton is repeating a conspiracy theory about covid that has already been debunked like this is the same exact game plan that they did when covid started with the lat when they covered for the lab leak from china what i'm starting to notice is when you debunk something, it doesn't mean that it wasn't right. Well, the difference today between disinformation and something that's true is only a couple of weeks or months now. Or days. Or even days in this case. Biolabs itself was a conspiracy theory. Yeah. But it's because what they do is if you bring up to a journalist, what's up with these bio labs in Ukraine?

They immediately retreat to the Mott and go like, oh, U.S. doesn't have bio labs in Ukraine. He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I didn't say U.S. I said, what's up with these bio labs? So what happens is you'll get a regular person. And I've experienced this. It's really funny. People shouldn't play games with me because I know what I'm talking about.

And I'll say something, and they's, this is a really good example. So I'll give you a hypothetical, but there, cause I don't want to invade, I don't want to violate anyone's privacies, but so you'll say something like, did you guys hear about, you'll be at a party and you'll be like, do you hear about these bio labs in Ukraine now? Now they're confirming it. Russia, of course, probably is not happy with it. And then someone goes, there's no U S bio labs in Ukraine. You're making that up and

then i'm just like i never said u.s a regular person though might be like of course there i was reading about it and then they'll pull up on their phone and they'll say there are no u.s bio labs see everybody he was wrong that's what they'll do and people will conflate these stories and not realize it my favorite games with me because i'm gonna be like i didn't say u.s my favorite part is that that's the stuff you talk about at parties. Are you serious? No, I'm serious. Yeah, of course I do.

I walk into a party, I grab a beer, I'm like, how about that Bio Lab? Everyone's like, oh, yeah, yeah, and we're all drinking. I just got to say, I really hope they're not eating bat soup in Ukraine. Seriously? Because that's the most logical explanation of where biological weapons come from, right? You were a conspiracy theorist if you thought that the virus, which was first infecting people right near a biological weapons research lab, was made in a biological weapons research lab instead of coming from a bat.

So what happens is you've got all these labs in Ukraine, and China's saying, like, tell us what viruses are in it. In like a month, all of a sudden, there's like 12 new viruses that emerge in Ukraine. And then the mainstream media goes, that was an armadillo that one was a ukraine's bad infestation problem so it's out of control it's gotta be a different animal for a different virus that emerges from the biolab but the sad thing is is it's there it's serious like when i was so when i was at the daily caller back when covid first started we were one of the first news outlets that

ran stories about the potential for that that this virus came from a lab. And we got dinged on Facebook for it. The way Facebook works is the way you get one of those fact checks on your post is a fact checker has to write an actual story. One of their certified fact checkers has to write a story about your post and you get dinged. And if you get a certain amount of them, you get your account to monetize. We got one for running lab leak stories. This is the media and big tech and the deep state working together to suppress information that they don't want the public to know. But they apologized, of course, right?

Oh, well, yeah. Eventually, when it all came out. Oh, I'm kidding. They actually did? That's impressive. No, they didn't apologize. Of course, they didn't apologize. But when the info finally came out that actually there is merit to the lab leak story, they stopped the censorship.

Remember when – what was that guy's name? Andy Stone is the guy from Facebook. He's on Twitter. And he's like, the Hunter Biden laptop story is disinformation over, so we're suppressing it to make sure it can't be shared. And then Twitter did. And then like a month later, they're like, oh, that story was real. They publicly brag about suppressing pertinent information to an election. It happens.

And that guy, too, used to work for the DCCC and Barbara Boxer and a bunch of other Democrats, too. So you had this Democrat comms guy who now works at Facebook talking about how they're censoring a story that's unfavorable to the then Democrat candidate for president. You know what concerns me right here is that there's going to be a leak. This is the narrative. Okay, the two biggest fears in the world right now, COVID and Russia, that there's going to be a leak in Ukraine and they're going to blame it on Russia and it's going to be another pandemic. Well, so that's exactly what we heard with Marco Rubio just in the other segment.

Rubio is saying there's no doubt in your mind, you know, Ms. Newland, that if there's a biotech, it is Russia. Yes. The priming. Now if something happens, they're going to be like, we told you it was Russia. Time for us to invade. Marco Rubio said it was going to be Russia.

How conspiratorial do you want to get? Very. 70%. Remember when Bill Gates recently was talking about weaponized smallpox? Yeah. What was that story again? What an odd thing to talk about. You want to pull it up real quick? See if you can pull it up. There was a story where it was like Bill Gates was talking about treatment for like weaponized

smallpox. He's like, we speculate it would evolve from a bat. Yeah. Well, it's got to be an animal. They're going to be like, this time it's a penguin. It's like these penguins are going to give us weaponized smallpox. It was a hamster. The penguins will fight back.

Hamster soup. Bill Gates warns of weaponized smallpox just after FDA approves his new pox drug. This is from November 29th, 21. So that was actually recently. So this is The Independent. Yeah, so we have it right here. Bill Gates warns of smallpox terror attacks as he seeks research funds. Yeah.

Now, look, this could be him being like, I'd like money, please. Or maybe we should pay attention to what powerful global elites are saying about stuff when you have people like rubio saying there could be a bio attack so it'd be a smallpox thing i don't know i don't know if these things are connected i don't like speculating i just want to get on the record saying it now so that in in six months if it does happen uh people know that i was thinking it i'll put it i'll put it this way you can you can take it the pessimistic nefarious route and assume bill gates knows something or we can trust bill gates he warned us about weaponized smallpox now we're hearing

russia might do a bio attack dude bill gates funding eco health alliance which was working he was he was a more trust oh did you not is that not on the i don't know i thought he was for sure i know that the nih was and was bill gates doing it oh i don't know i don't know that the NIH was, but was Bill Gates doing it? I don't know. You've got to be very careful. I've got to keep my mouth shut. You guys are really smart. I'm not saying you're wrong. You could get fact-checked for it.

Let's make sure we're accurate. Was Bill Gates in any way providing funding to EcoHealth? Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I'm looking at it now. I'm going to put it this way. I'm going to give Bill Gates the benefit of the doubt, even though I don't like the guy, and say, okay, maybe he's right and knows something about the potential terror attacks. Yeah, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation committed a $1.5 million grant to the EcoHealth Alliance in 2020. See, there you are right.

I was just saying, just make sure you fact check it because we've got to be very precise. I knew that. So I wanted to let us find out. So we knew that. We were testing Ian. That info comes from influencewatch.org. Is that a legitimate website? I don't know how to check. I don't have some nonprofit.

Influencewatch.org. I don't know what they're talking about. I'm going to check that out. Bill Gates celebrates collaborations with NIH. From gatesfoundation.org also. Is that right? Let me see. There you go.

I mean, honestly, it's not far-fetched to believe that Bill Gates is providing this financial assistance to this organization. I mean, he talks about vaccines all the time. It's on the Gates Foundation website. Well, there you go. To support India's Ministry of Animal Husbandry, whatever. So let's just go ahead and say maybe Bill Gates,

when he warns of smallpox terror attacks kind of knows something we don't i'm not saying he's malicious i'm not saying it's a conspiracy i'm saying maybe he's right maybe he's right and we should be worried i'll just tell you this whatever you want to believe that there's a grand cabal planning these things and bill gates is involved or bill gates is a superhero who's saving people there seems like a risk of smallpox terror attacks. So I don't know what you do. Do you just buy emergency food and hide in the ground? Buy emergency food.

Yes, hide in the ground. I'm going to buy some shipping containers and bury them and crawl into it. You know what? I've heard shipping containers are not the way to go, though, because they cave in. Yeah, and they're also very dirty. They're not really made to sustain weight. Geodesic dom go, though, because they cave in. Yeah, and they're also very dirty. They're not really made to sustain weight. Geodesic domes, right, Ian? Yeah, but they also leak.

That's the biggest problem with them. I've been doing a lot of research on those, too. Okay, how about we get giant floating domes? So you know what the real flex is? You vacuum them out. You create like... You create a chamber. It's like a boat. You vacuum out the boat area of it so it floats.

The real flex is not that you go to an underground lair when it hits the fan. It's that you force your enemies into an underground lair. Can we make something strong enough to withstand a large enough vacuum to actually float on air? Yeah, I think it's going to be a metamaterial like aerogel. Yeah, like a graphene aerogel. And then what you do is you create a bunch of little pockets of holes inside of this boat, and then you vacuum out all these little pockets of holes. So you've got like a lighter than air thing.

And then if it's big enough, it should be able to carry people and farms and stuff. So that it's, yeah, so it would be, as a whole, it would be, it's not the mass. It's the displacement of gases. And then you strap an ion thruster on it and fly it around. What do you think, Greg? I think he's on to something. I don't know what he is talking about. I don't know, but Lydia, back to our topic,

we're talking about biolabs. Check out the tweet that I just DMed you. Back to reality. It's a guy writing for foreign policy, foreignpolicy.com, the preeminent foreign policy magazine. And he says, Russia helped create and is now actively amplifying foreign policy and it's foreign policy.com. Like, you know, the preeminent foreign policy magazine. And he says, Russia helped create is,

and is now actively amplifying a conspiracy theory, claiming the invasion of Ukraine is being done to destroy us run bioweapons facilities. And he says the wildest part people believe it. Yeah. So this is from March 2nd. So it's a few days ago. And now we know now it's getting dry,

but this is the thing. It's like, you know, foreign policy that's, you know, that's held up as like this, by the establishment as this trustworthy news outlet. That's the title, yeah. Is it false claims of U.S. bio-warfare labs in Ukraine grip QAnon?

Right. Well, look, I got no problem saying I don't see why we have to talk about U.S. bio-labs or whatever. If you want to fact-check that, by all means. I'm not – if Ukraine has bio-labs, sounds like it's a fact because victoria nuland said they did now the question is is this a motivating motivating factor for russia i don't know because russia their demands of ukraine are give them donbass give them crimea and don't join nato or the eu right i didn't see any demands from russia where they were like get rid of these bio labs so i think the story could be a stretch to say the least but i just love how they they this is

a trick look if you've been watching the show for some time you know the trick because i tell you all the time you'll have ian and i'll do a backflip and the media will write did ian really do a backflip on sunday yeah false yeah while i Ian did do a backflip, it was actually at midnight on Saturday, which is technically not Sunday. Although technically it is. We rate this claim false.

It was 11.59 and 58 seconds by the atomic clock standard. Unfortunately for Ian, his clock was two minutes fast. It was actually Monday in Australia when he did the backflip on Sunday. False. Partly true.

Partly true. It's not a U.S. lab. They're Ukrainian labs and they're not biowarfare labs. They're just bio labs. Partly true. Right. It's not a U.S. lab. They're Ukrainian labs and they're not bio-warfare labs. They're just bio-labs. So if you put bio-warfare it's going to be called

false too. Right. According to the girl that said. You see these games they're playing with this stuff? Sneaky. Man, I love this one.

Extremely sneaky. PolitiFact just goes nuts with it. Bloggers say Putin bombs Biden-owned villa in Ukraine while hammering bio-labs in pedo rings.

Whoa. What? All right. Well, I'm going to give you that one, PolitiFact. That sounds like Dang, that is a little biden owned villa in ukraine while hammering bio labs and pedo rings whoa what all right well i'm gonna give you that one politic fact that sounds like that is a little it's it's this is the problem it's because there'll be like a guy wearing like a nice suit and he'll be like you know i'm concerned about these bio labs in ukraine and then there'll be like a crazy guy with a tin foil hat next to him going like you're right the u.s is funding them and there's pedos and then

the fact checker goes i'm gonna run with that one or or those two people actually hate each other in real life but the media associates them with one another as is the case with the infamous conspiracy theory pyramid that i reviewed and debunked on my channel the whole point is you want to link people who have basically nothing in common other than the fact that they're questioning the official narrative. There's a comic that's being shared by all of these leftists, and it's the weirdest thing. And it shows a guy sitting on a couch with what appears to be his wife or something, and he's got a shirt with an American flag, and he's wearing a red hat. And I'm like, gee, I wonder what that's supposed to symbolize. And he's watching the news, and he says, Russia says they're just taking back what's rightfully theirs.

And then the woman goes alaska was russia's you know 60 years ago or something and i'm like is this implying that the america first anti-interventionist populist maga people are like defending you like russia's invasion of ukraine like i don't understand like i don't it's it makes no sense you you can try to do an honest analysis of putin's motives and reject a lot of the propaganda coming from the warfare state in the industrial military complex and their lackeys in the media without supporting putin or his invasion right well tim to your point what they're doing is exactly what you say they can't find anyone in real life who actually supports putin they can't find republicans who support putin so they have to create this little comic there this is the whole

of twitter is imagining someone and then getting mad at that person right like that person literally doesn't exist but you're gonna fling bows and arrows at him because it's easier the best the best they can do is find republicans who putin supports at least according to them right exactly they're trying they're really trying. And it's kind of sad because there are actually real things that we could be working toward fixing together. But no, it has to be Russia. And even now-

We don't have any problems that need fixing right now, Lydia. Yeah, you're right. We're good. Let's crank this up to 11. Daily Mail says, U.S. official warns cornered Russian leader could use small nukes on Ukrainian cities in worst case scenario after Kremlin officials privately denounce Putin's cluster F invasion with his forces bogged down in snow and minus 20 C freeze on the way. I kind of want to just say at this point, bullish, like all of it.

They're coming out and they're like Russia could do a bio attack. There could be nukes. And I'm like, okay, look, look, look, hold on. When they talked about the invasion, I said it's starting to sound like Chicken Little. And then there was an invasion. So far be it for me. I have no moral standing at this point to claim Putin won't be using nukes because I was certainly wrong by him invading Kiev. But at this point, I'm just like, yo, you've beaten us over the head screaming about the escalation and Putin is crazy over and over again. Can we just chill for a minute? Yeah, well, I mean,

look, the moral of the story of the boy who cried wolf is not that those stupid village people didn't believe him the one time he was telling the truth. It's that he kept lying and so he lost all of his credibility. And that's the exact case with the media. Maybe this is the one time where they have real information about something that's actually going to happen.

Well, they did phrase it as it may. But it's their fault. It's their fault that people don't believe them because all they do is lie. Seamus, we can get this project done in a half an hour. Let's do it. You should draw up. We'll work together. We'll make a book called The Democrats Who Cried Russia.

And it'll be a children's book. Not really. It'll be like a period where the first few pages explain Russiagate and how it was all fake. And then in the end, when the Democrats finally came out and screamed Russia's going to invade, no one believed them. And then Putin invaded and attacked the capital of Ukraine. Let's 100% do it. That would be funny. 100% do it.

Yeah. I'd love that. The Democrat who cried Russia. After seven years, we just didn't care anymore. Or like the media that cried anything. Yeah. the media that cried racism or fascism or whatever i don't know you guys so look i don't necessarily think it's wrong i want to add one one thing to the story too this idea that vladimir putin is dying so this is something that's been reported over the past several days they're claiming he's got terminal bowel cancer and i'm just kind of like you know look he does look a little sickly but you could be

getting old but to claim that there's like there's there's scant evidence it's an anonymous source claiming he's got terminal bowel cancer we've had great luck with those anonymous sources over the past couple years i don't i don't know if i i don't i definitely don't believe that either because did you see the video of putin that went viral a couple months ago of him playing hockey oh really no yeah um it's really funny because he's like he's playing in a hockey game and all of the other players on the ice are just like letting him score i mean he was playing if he could do that i don't really think that he would be terminally ill yeah but didn't he also just take time off did he yeah a little while ago he took like a few weeks to a couple months off i don't know but you remember do you remember like i forget when this was this was probably over a year ago when there were reports going around that kim jong-un

was on his deathbed that was cnn too cnn was like reporting like it was cnn reporting that kim jong-un was on his deathbed and basically just caused an international incident and that turned out to be false you know it's funny we got We got these reports about, you know, a cornered Putin will use nukes. A dying Putin is dangerous. Mad Vlad. And it's just like, the media is going to end the world. If the world ends, it'll be because there

is a hysteria driven by media who wanted that one last click. Yeah, I've got another example. Do you guys remember the time that the media lied to us about every single thing they ever told us for the entire time they existed? I think that was called my life yeah good time i feel like it's it's also not just that they lie it's that they completely ignore real problems that matter a lot more to americans so they've been obsessed with this invasion in ukraine we have an invasion at our southern border

right now but the media portrays that as compassionate that America just that the Biden administration just allows this to happen. Also, we have an invasion in Libya and in Iraq that we're perpetrating right now that you don't see much of this talking about it, unfortunately. You should do a bit where CNN hires Jesse Smollett and then everyone's just like

we trust him. Most believable guy ever. And he can talk he can be holding a subway sandwich as he's always uh reporting the news reporting live for mega country because you know i'll keep saying it every single time like right now i can just be like the media that believe the people who believe jesse smollett are lecturing me about bio labs in ukraine yeah not gonna happen this time ladies and gentlemen so the thing about these news articles, this says Western intelligence suggests. They're not saying that it's real.

They're just pointing out that the intelligence suggests it. And then the other one is like he may use or he could use nukes. He could grow lasers out of his arms and shoot them too. People familiar with the matter have said that Putin might use nukes. My favorite thing is people familiar with a person's thinking. Yeah. Like how does that make – Well, I'm familiar with the media's thinking and I think they're completely full of it.

I'm familiar with Ian's thinking and I'm reporting that he plans on buying rocks. Oh. He may be right. I'm reporting Ian may be rolling a 20 at some point. Let me give a shout out to our – I just remembered a great example of one of those stories. I got to give a shout out to my friend Ben Williamson who used to work for Mark Meadows and there was a story like a little while ago

when the media was like someone familiar with Mark Meadows' thinking and Ben is like it was his senior advisor and he just goes, with all due respect to the person familiar with his thinking, this story is bullshit. I want to give a shout out to our good friends at Daily Wire who very, very carefully crafted this headline in two ways.

Mad Vlad, Western Intelligence suggests Putin terminally ill reports. So what they're basically saying is, first of all, we're not saying he's terminally ill, and those who are claiming it are only kind of claiming it. So Daily Wire

has really hedged this article quite a bit. Basically it seems like everybody's kind of like, I don't think he's sick. I've got to be honest, though. I mean, maybe. Regardless of whether or not he's actually got bowel cancer or anything like that, dude is 69.

Average life expectancy is, what, 72? In Russia, it's lower. I imagine that's a stressful freaking job, too. Yeah, exactly. I'd imagine in Russia it's probably lower, right? Maybe it's lower. I don't need someone to Google that. Yeah, I'll pull i'll pull that but i think i think there's a good possibility it's not necessarily about him being terminally ill but him being like i'm old and before i pass

i'm gonna see russia you know return to its former glory it could also be him understanding that he is never going to have the opportunity of a leader as completely inept as joe biden being in office ever again he probably knows that joe is not going to last the full term so he wants to get it taken care of now looks like russian life expectancy 66 years old for a man 77 for a woman so he's he's passed his his you know his average world health organization going off what shamus just said what was that article you were showing me right before the show where like the saudi that house they did people like this didn't take i'm trying to remember what it was um hold on one sec i think that um biden was trying to make a call to putin and he wouldn't take a call from putin but he did take a call

from the uae or um uh the uae took calls from putin or whatever yeah there we go yeah yeah it's wild wait so putin denied putin denied uh biden's call yes come on man you've got a soul man it's wild. Wait, so Putin denied Biden's call? Yes. Come on, man. You've got a soul, man. It's wild. But is... This guy's mean. There's a 0% chance that ever happens. No.

But also, I was saying this the other day. I thought he said that. The thing I love about that story is Biden thinks it makes him look good to say, like, I went to that foreign leader, and I called him mean. You have no soul, man. I think that's what I said. Russia's like, is that it? It's like, well, you kind of want your adversaries to think you're mean, don't you?

Yeah. There's also so many of those similar stories with Biden where he claims he did all of these things. He always claims that he marched. He was arrested while protesting with Nelson Mandela. Right. That never happened. What's happening? He's like, oh, man, I was there arrested while protesting with Nelson Mandela. Right. That never happened. What's happening? He's like, oh, man, I was there, but it's the Mandela effect.

Man, you guys, you all remember it differently. You've got to be there to experience it. This would be a great short film. Is Biden's Mandela effecting and it's all actually happened? All these stories are real. Check it out. The corn pop story, the Mandela story. Hold on.

The speech he gave in the 80s. Yeah. But then something happened with a large Hadron Collider. And then Joe Biden's like standing there. I'm a victim of time travel, man. A rift opens up and he's like, whoa, come on, man. And then he gets sucked through into a reality where he didn't do any of these things. Bro, Putin banged his straight razor on the curb to get it rusty.

Put it in a rain barrel to get it rusty. And then it wasn't just a dream, Joe Biden. Let's pitch to the Daily Wire a sci-fi about joe biden traveling through the multiverse it's interstellar but just with joe biden oh my gosh and like for some reason he's interacting like matthew mcconaughey is the same role doing the same things but it's joe biden in every other capacity just for some reason come on man traveling through uh traveling through uh other dimensions no malarkey he comes from a universe where people like still frequently use the phrase malarkey and that's why he's he's fighting everything he's doing all these wars are

because he's trying to restore the original timeline and vladimir putin's trying to stop him so it was like putin and and biden met at a young age and and worked together and then had a falling out a falling out when the Large Hadron Collider goes off and sends them into different dimensions and Putin's trying to stop him? I mean, it could work. It could work as a sci-fi plot. In his universe, having hairy legs is a sign of mobility. That's what I'm saying. You got hairy legs. In his universe.

They get hairy in the pool. There's also the one with the Amtrak guy. Have you ever seen this one he tells this story so he tells this story all the time he's told it like a bunch of times like he's talking about public transportation about how he says about how he was a senator he would travel to and from dc to delaware on amtrak and like there was this guy uh some italian dude i forget his name who who he said like came up to him in like 2019 or something when he was vice president and was like and he always like fakes the italian accent and he's like he tells him you don't know mama mia man and he's like you know how many miles you traveled on amtrak and he like i forget the number of miles but it turns out the

guy died like 10 years before oh my god i'm telling you it's the wrong universe oh my god i mean let's i i want to be real with you guys. Biden has like some plates in his brain, doesn't he? Yeah, he does. Does he really? Yeah, he has like a... I didn't know that. Stiff things. He had like two aneurysms or something? He did, yeah. So it's like, honestly, maybe the real story is much more sad. It is sad. That his brain

is just not working. It's genuinely sad. It's genuinely sad, but it's also terrible and worthy of ridicule that he's president of the United States and that no one's willing to acknowledge that he has severe psychological and cognitive deficits. Well, that's just a stutter. Yeah, that's my point. Dude, have you ever had like a stutter that forces you to plagiarize somebody else's speech? It's so weird when that happens.

Remember, dude? Oh, my gosh. Remember that one time that I said poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids? It's like, I stutter all the time. Joe Biden is like, I want to tell you about this. There's nothing to fear but fear itself that we have. And it's like, wait, what?

He's stuttering. He has the kind of Tourette's where you blurt out famous historical quotes. You can't blame him for it. What's even sadder is that Kamala Harris is even worse with saying a lot while saying nothing at all. Oh, it's amazing, isn't it? She's not like slurring and misspeaking as often when she does it.

She just says shit that makes no sense. Yeah. She'll say a whole paragraph and you'll feel like there's a lot of words, but I don't know where that went. I don't know what you just said. I don't think, frankly, I don't think you were telling the truth. Yeah, I don't know what you said. No, no, no. There's no truth to be had when you're like there's a lot of words but i don't know where that i don't know what you just said i don't think i don't know frankly i don't think you were telling the truth yeah i don't know no no there's no truth to be had when you're like stringing random words together it's like lips or be like our children and when we talk about our children yes the schools

it's very important freedom you're like what freedom i have no idea what that means but she's standing there and she's talking what's that meme where it was like international women's day have you seen this one it's a grid no and it's like be brave like amelia at the bottom oh i saw that it says speak like kamala and people are like are we really encouraging young girls to speak like kamala harris just laugh maniacally it's time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day. Oh my gosh. That's beautiful.

Ukraine is a country. Russia is a country. Ukraine is a smaller country. Russia invaded Ukraine. So basically that's wrong. Is that what she said? Yes, she said that. She said that on some radio show.

Yes, they were like, let me break this down for the layman. Hold on, let me find the quote. It is time for us to be doing what we do every day. That time is now. Let me find the full quote because it's actually one of the funniest things ever. So I tweeted the video of it that day, and I had so many blue checks who got mad at me for not including the whole thing, even though the whole thing didn't even make her look that much better.

But hold on, let me find this. Yeah, here it is. She was like, Ukraine is a country. So the host of the show asked her to break down what's happening in Ukraine in layman's terms. And she goes, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a similar country called Ukraine.

So basically that's wrong. That's what she said. That is a third grader's history report 50 years from now and it's like and it's like i wasn't they didn't do the reading i wasn't a little little jimmy do you want to read your report my report is on the start of world war three ukraine was a big country but russia was a bigger country and russia's invasion was wrong that's an a plus right there if i've ever heard it wasn't aware that the average layman in America is a kindergartner. I know, right? I was like, so insulting.

Oh my gosh. Why is Russia... Man, I go into a lot of detail about why Russia's invasion was wrong. And I'm like, I'm pretty sure the people who listen to me can understand my argument as to why it's wrong, whether they agree or not. Kamala Harris, this is the craziest thing.

I suppose you need to understand her audience, Democrat voters. They really do need it dumbed down, I guess. I don't know. But she's not, but that's the thing. I guess that's an example of it being dumbed down, but a lot of the times it's not dumbing things down. It's making them really incoherent.

Well, I mean, that was like explaining to a five-year-old. No, that was a five-year-old explaining it. Yeah, yeah. Did you guys see the little golden book of Kamala Harris? Oh, gosh. Why? No, yeah, for real.

So the little golden books are like the little elf climbed the tree. And then there's one where it's like Kamala Harris is the president because she's a woman or something like that. What? Sometimes people like people and sometimes the media wants to force you to like someone. No, that's exactly right and like you have this woman who is the first black and female vice president and we're supposed to celebrate this and as as yeah and asian but we're supposed to celebrate that as like this giant victory for women that kamala harris is vice president even though she was chosen for the

job specifically because of her race and gender right after she dropped out of the presidential race before iowa because she was polling at two percent in her home state and earned no delegates and earned zero delegates he got one right yeah and like yeah and even called joe biden and called joe biden a racist and basically said that there was validity to the claims that he was guilty of sexual assault and then he's like you want to be my my VP man she's like yeah of course I do you guys remember the Futurama episode where Lila plays Blurns ball yes

so this one it's so Futurama is amazing and Lila is she keeps hitting the players it's like baseball basically she keeps beating them and so they're like we'll hire her as a novelty act and she's like wow the first female Blurns ball player it's like yeah but you're like a we'll hire her as a novelty act. And she's like, wow, the first female Blurns Ball player. It's like, yeah, but you're like a freak show.

She's like, wow. I'm like, that's where we're at, I guess. Like, just be, you know, and then they have Jackie Robinson, I guess, is actually good at the game and says, you're making us all look bad. So we had to get involved. Kamala Harris may be the first female VP, but like, isn isn't that kind of a bad thing? Because she's making women look bad. Weren't we told that she's the first president? The first female president? Yeah, it's true. And Jill Biden said

she was president as well. At this point, it's canon. Yeah, it's canon. For the rest of time, women will have to know that the first female vice president of this country was a very incompetent person who was chosen specifically because of her gender. When I like to laugh, sometimes I like to Google back from right

after the first democratic debate in 2019, when Kamala Harris's campaign sold t-shirts with her picture on it, when she was a kid that said that little girl was me, they sold t-shirts of it, of her saying that when she said that to Biden, I triggered a whole bunch of blue checks. Cause I tweeted that it would be kind of upsetting or it would be kind of lame if the first female president gained the office through the death of the president and not through the election of the people of the country.

And they all went nuts on me over this. And it was a really weird thing. I'm like, why are you booing? I'm right. You know what I mean? Like if the first female president is appointed and not elected, that's kind of lame. Like, shouldn't we be like, we've done it. People have elected. They've chosen to vote for this woman instead of being like Joe Biden won and he picked her. And then if he gets, you know,

incapacitated, she became president. No one picked her. No one voted for her. She was appointed. That would be kind of lame. How do you know people didn't vote for joe biden because they liked kamala oh well probably no to be to be honest though i'm sure a lot of people did a lot of people probably were the feminists and the well but this is the thing joe biden picked her to pander to progressives because he promised he was going to pick a woman of color but basically every progressive i know really does not like kamala yo come on man they really don't like her it's true but they don't they claim it's like joe biden they all voted for him 100 like like they're kind of like pinching their nose i remember watching contra

points explain why you should vote for joe biden and i remember watching a bunch of progressives explain why you should vote for joe biden their arguments were always because Trump X, Y, or Z. And I remember my explanation for why I personally was voting for Trump. And it was school choice. It was him setting a timeline for getting out of Afghanistan. It was the best economy of our lives in 2019 into 2020. Like there were real tangible things he was proposing where I was like, I like those things. I don't care about Joe Biden. He's an establishment guy, but I can give you a real argument based on the guy I'm choosing to vote for. For the people who are voting for Biden, they're like, Trump is bad. And I'm like, well, Biden's bad too, but they vote for him anyway.

Well, he's a product of sort of the rabid desire of the media of you know permanent washington to remove trump from power because he was the biggest threat to the establishment's power that we've ever seen in politics and that's exactly what they did you know i i think you'd be very hard pressed to find somebody who voted for biden because they were very excited to have joe biden as president that's 100 not true and they voted for him because they were riled up because they were convinced that Donald Trump was just this biggest threat to democracy that ever existed. And they weaponized the pandemic against him, the fact that this happened during a pandemic year. And they were basically saying that every COVID death was somebody Donald Trump murdered.

And between obviously big tech and the media being extremely biased to one side between states, you know, completely overhauling their voting laws because just, you know, justifying it because of the pandemic. You had this perfect storm where you have this guy now who is essentially a puppet of the establishment that was threatened by Trump, who's now ruining our country. Well, what you get with Joe Biden, man. Let's talk about this story out of uh out of russia let's talk about the escalation we have the story um mcdonald's announces temporary closure oh my over 800 locations in russia the fast food giant said it will still pay the salaries of its employees in both russia and ukraine i think we might we must have an an error on the timcast.com website because this says maca oharak. That's not right.

That's not McDonald's. Oh, I'm kidding. It's in Cyrillic. I love the Cyrillic D. It's funny. McDonald's, it's like a weird-looking A. Doharak. That's what it looks like.

It's a cursive R, I guess. This is just crazy. I mean, Facebook leaves Russia. McDonald's leaves Russia. The big banks leave Russia. Like, they're trying to fix this place. Yeah, I know. So a lot of people are joking that like Russia is going to end up being the healthiest place on the planet.

Well, it wasn't. Chile, it was very disturbing because Diet Coke had been – it surged into the country basically in the last – the decade prior. And obesity was rampant. It was really disturbing. I got to be completely honest. When I heard that McDonald's and Facebook and Google and Apple and MasterCard were all pulling out, I was like, I really would love to be – like to experience that right now. Just to like – you wake up and it's quiet.

It's just quiet. You walk outside and you look around and you don't hear anything. And you're like a woodpecker in the distance and you're like – and that's it? That's the only information? It's just like so the people in russia i'm sure in all seriousness are probably i don't think they're freaking out over mcdonald's to be honest they're probably worried their atms aren't working or they're probably worried i think march 9th tomorrow is the last day for visa and mastercard to work so they got to switch over apparently the local banks are going to keep

facilitating visa and mastercards internally so visaCard can't shut that down. So they're probably going to be fine. Yeah, that's what I meant when I was referring to the big banks, by the way, is Visa and MasterCard pulling out. But there's like Deloitte. There's like Ernst & Young. There's a bunch of big financials, international financial organizations that are cutting off Russia.

There's a lot. It's not even that, too. Like FIFA banned Russia's soccer team from the World Cup. Yeah. The CHL. From the video games. Yeah. Dude, they banned cats.

They banned Russian cats from competing in. Well, that's reasonable. from the World Cup. Yeah. The CHL. From the video games. Yeah. Dude, they banned cats. They banned Russian cats from competing in. Well, that's reasonable. Yeah, of course. The Canadian. Well, I get it. Those cats deserve everything they're getting. That's right.

The CHL, which is the Canadian Junior Hockey League. Right. Which is like one of the biggest, you know, junior hockey leagues in the world. You know, a lot of, they banned Russians from being drafted into the CHL. And, you know, I did my part when I was at the bar the other night. Somebody ordered a Moscow Mule, and I immediately just punched him in the face. Yeah, perfect. Not a true story.

Punch Ruskies, right? That's going to be the new phrase. Well, I was going to say the real blow to Russia right now is that Adidas is shutting down their stores, and we all know that they only wear those tracksuits, right? It's over. They're done, actually. No more Russian mafia tracksuits. This is the Borg attempting to digest the Russian issue.

No, I think it's vomiting it up. All of these international institutions are leaving Russia. It's like, imagine there's a giant squid alien creature with its tentacles all over all these countries and something happened to where they're pulling away

from Russia and it's finally clearing a path of vines are being torn away. And now Russia is just like, I mean, these, these, these, look, if you are one of these people who thinks late stage capitalism is awful, you should probably be happy. These companies are like pulling out of Russia. Cause I gotta be honest. I understand making life harder for Russians and affecting their economy is a bad thing but Google Facebook McDonald's going away would not be bad because if there really was a revolution the United States like a good healthy revolution that the corporate government like the global corporations would just cut us all off we would lose McDonald's from McDonald's and our money our bank accounts our gas would go up to $90 a gallon or whatever

that's true. No, you're right. I think there's something there. Just buy an electric car. Just buy electric. Yeah, just buy an electric. You got $60,000? No problem.

Don't worry about gas. You get an electric car. You get an electric car. It's also just like a giant virtue signal too because these same corporations will never stop doing business in China because they have so much more financial interest in China. Read that word. What about a Taiwan? What does that word say?

I can't. Temporarily. Temporarily. Temporarily. Yeah. What does that mean? Until they want to stop, basically. It means they're not really doing anything.

Yeah. Temporarily. It's especially funny with FIFA, too, because the World Cup this year is literally being held in Qatar. Not exactly a friendly country to human rights. Aren't there like human bones in the structure

of the World Cup stadium? They're literally using slave labor to build the stadiums. And I've heard, I could be wrong about this, so definitely fact check. I heard when the slaves died, they just pushed them

into the construction of the building and just build over them. Well, I don't know if that's, I don't know. I can't confirm or deny, but I know from my history class that that's what they did to build the pyramids and the Great Wall of China. It's a historical precedent. I don't know if that's true, though.

I was reading about the pyramids. I think Great Wall of China is what I meant to say. Great Wall makes sense. I mean, it's massive. Did you read about that? Well, I'm for sure seeing forced labor at World Cup Stadium from the BBC in Qatar. This is from 2022. Yeah, I heard they just put the bodies into the construction of the building.

When they're sealing off an area or cementing it, they just dump the body and then pour the cement over it and feel like, meh. Are you serious? I've heard that. I thought you were being hyperbolic. No, no, no. Legit. I've heard some of those stories, but it could just be propaganda. I don't know.

Qatar migrant workers unpaid for months of work on FIFA Stadium. This is from Amnesty.org. So people are going and they're not getting paid. Migrants are coming in and getting basically forced slave labor. Yeah, so hats off to FIFA for banning Russia from their video game while they're about to host the World Cup in Qatar. I hope you guys make some money from the World Cup. That's why you're doing it, right? Yeah.

Right. So Guardian says 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since the World Cup awarded. Is it Qatar or Qatar either? Okay. It depends on who you ask. Yeah. It's like how you can spell healthcare with either a space or all one word. All right.

Well, it's funny to me that McDonald's is coming out of Russia and they refuse to do anything about China where they are actually actively racist in their commercials. McDonald's themselves is like company. They basically endorse it they just go along with it because it's what china wants anything china wants china i guess is a much bigger deal than russia and yeah and like going off that like obviously we're mad by how expensive gas has gotten due to the fact that the world is sanctioning of one of the biggest oil producers in the world imagine if china invades taiwan and all of a sudden all these same countries are now sanctioning china which produces like 80 of the ingredients in our medicines and a lot of our

semiconductors like i know we complain about the price of gas but imagine we're sanctioning a country that produces so much of our manufactured goods you know the upside maybe china won't invade taiwan because they will be sanctioned like this and they'll have total cutoff from the global economy so i don't know about that story about bodies being in the stadium because that might have been propaganda to manipulate. But I did see a report that said 34 deaths in the construction of the stadium.

And now I'm looking at this story about FIFA inundated with 17 million requests for World Cup tickets. So it's just kind of like, you know, this is a country that we've heavily criticized that exploits people to an extreme degree and we're like yeah but they're cool russia it brings a new definition to built on the backs of slaves literally slavery if there's more slaves alive today than there's ever

been right dude i was just coming to terms with just accepting the slavery on earth right now like this plastic was i mean these materials these apple materials are built by like slave labor in china i don't know the specifics but like okay use it like fuel to fix the system but it's horrifying it's the way things are man that's screwed up this is the reality about it that planet we really don't think about the sweatshop labor that often it's not it's not even necessarily that's americans and it's mostly Democrat types, don't want to talk about it. They're the ones who get angry and make the comics, dismissing any criticism of them, protesting issues that they actually support. So when you have people saying at Occupy Wall Street, like, oh, these billionaire elites, and then they put up a shrine to Steve Jobs.

I'm like, don't you see a little hypocrisy there? Like, this is the guy who's exploiting labor. I despise Apple products. Designed in Cupertino. I absolutely love that. Apple. It's like they, you know, I remember I had a friend who was in college and she was like, my school is making me buy an Apple desktop for, for design. And I was like, why?

And she's like, you have to, otherwise they fail you. And then I was like like except you can get the same powered computer running the mac os for a third of the cost if you just build it yourself and she's like they won't allow that yeah no it's crazy i'm just like i absolutely despise this company man no i and as somebody who works in your creative field who does animation who's spent a decent amount of time around other animators there's absolutely no reason that you need to use a mac to do creative work that's's ridiculous. But Apple played it really, really smart by making it... These college kids would get student loans,

and they'd spend $1,000 on a $300 computer. With a proprietary charger and everything. And it's like, what is the Mac OS? Like a rebranded Unix system? I don't know. Probably, yeah. I think it is. And so then all of a sudden you get Occupy Wall Street,

and they're like, Mac's good. We're going to put up a shrine for Steve Jobs. It's trendy. It looks cool. You know what, man? I think it is. And so then all of a sudden you get Occupy Wall Street and they're like, Mac's good. We're going to celebrate, put up a shrine for Steve Jobs. It's trendy. It looks cool. You know what, man? I will say this. The virus thing, man. They don't get viruses.

Yeah, Mac for them. Mac OS is a unit. That's a lie, right? That's a lie. They don't. Well, everyone I know who has a Mac has said they don't get viruses on it. So in the early days of the excellent marketing from Apple, there was the narrative saying that Apples don't get viruses and it just works. And that's technically true.

What was happening was Apples were less likely to get viruses because their market share was like less than 1%. Yeah, there aren't as many designs. So nobody was making them. That makes sense. And the same thing is true for Linux. People say like, oh, well, Ubuntu doesn't get viruses either. And it's like, yeah, because like 0.03% of people are using Ubuntu.

Granted, you know, a lot of stores like Walmart, I don't know, I don't know specifically Walmart but a lot of big box stores use Linux for all of their

point of sale terminals and self checkouts because it's free. Yeah. They don't want to pay. But I think, I think Walmart might use XP or something.

Dude, for all my talk about not trusting the media, I bought their narrative about Apple not getting viruses. Shame on me. Shame. But one thing I was pointing out earlier was I love that they write

designed in Cupertino on their products. It's like, you mean made in China? I don't care if it's designed here. Yeah. You made it somewhere else. That's scandalous. I didn't think that. Nobody thought that you were having the people working in the sweatshops

design the products. You're not progressive for doing that here designed in my luxury apartment yeah exactly california ladies and gentlemen we got breaking news from project veritas new york times national security reporter says the january 6th media coverage over the top and the fbi was involved nyT national security correspondent, Matthew Rosenberg contradicts his own January 6th reporting quote. There were a ton of FBI informants amongst the people who attacked the Capitol quote. It was like me and two other colleagues who were there outside and we were just having fun. I know I'm supposed to be traumatized, but like all these colleagues who were in the Capitol building are like, OMG, it was so scary. I'm like, F off.

I'm like, come on. It's not the kind of place I can call someone. I can tell someone to man up, but I kind of want to be like, dude, come on. You are not in any danger. These effing little dweebs who keep going on about their trauma. Shut the F up. They're effing bitches. They were making too big a deal.

They were making this an organized thing that wasn't. Will I stand by those comments absolutely except when james o'keith confronted i i don't know if it was this guy who did he confront this guy on the street or another uh another journalist he confronted him uh they wouldn't comment on any of this stuff i don't think this was this one he just posted let me where's my phone do they can because usually when they do one of these they confront the people in the video did they do that in this video? I haven't seen it yet.

I want to fact check, make sure in real time that I'm right because I just followed this era, James O'Keefe. And no, okay. So right. I was right. It was someone else. Right. Mark Mazzetti was the guy that got confronted by James O'Keefe over, I believe, this story.

So you have this guy. This is Matthew, National Security Advisor Matthew Rosenberg, who's saying these things. And a different New York Times reporter was being questioned or challenged over it. So the point of the story, I'll tell you first and foremost, the media, these journalists, they believe exactly what we've been saying. That it was bad, but come on, you're traumatized. It wasn't that bad. That there were FBI informants involved. Behind the scenes, they all know it.

Publicly, they won't say it. They won't report it. I'm wondering why anyone should care at this point. If the New York Times comes out and says there's no evidence there was the FBI involved, is anyone going to listen?

Do you care if other people who are dumb as a box of rocks listen? What are you going to do? You can't convince them they're as dumb as a box of rocks. Well, it's funny that he is reporting ostensibly on the side of the media. There's a New York Times reporter.

He's upholding the narrative. And then behind closed doors, he's saying this is pretty much nonsense. I'm over the narrative. It just goes to show that what the polling has said is valid, which is that more Americans want to see the 2020 riots investigated

than want to see January 6th investigated. It's something like less than half of Americans. It's 40-something percent, 46 percent, think that the January 6th committee is good and they want the investigation to continue. And two-thirds of voters want Congress to investigate the 2020 riots. So people, I mean, the narrative's falling apart, even among the people who are supposed to be forwarding it. Correct. Yes. There are also two reasons why you should care about that. And the first reason is, you know, all the people, all the nonviolent defendants from J6 that are still in jail without lawyers, without trials, they were hunted down by the DOJ and the FBI, these people for trespassing charges and locked them away.

The second reason you should care is because this sham January 6th committee in Congress is targeting Republicans that had nothing to do with January 6th. They had nothing to do with the riot at the Capitol. They are simply political opponents of people on the committee. One of those people is my boss, Alex Brzeziewicz, who all he did was organize several peaceful protests against the election. He did not go into the Capitol on January 6th. He was not involved, but he got a subpoena and had to testify today. Another example is Andrew Sarabian and Arthur Schwartz, who are two more GOP strategists. They got a subpoena and they weren't even there or working for Trump on January 6th.

They're simply friends with Donald Trump Jr. and running a super PAC that's opposing Liz Cheney. So why aren't they refusing? Well, they are – because you can be held in contempt. Like you can have criminal – Bannon did it? Well, yeah. You can have criminal charges filed against you. But there's – the charges, I think Bannon got like a misdemeanor.

I don't know. Yeah. I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm wondering why so many people are just like, okay. Alex Jones pleaded the fifth. Well, yeah. On the legal – well's going to happen, but I'm wondering why so many people are just like, okay, Alex Jones pleaded the fifth. Well, yeah, on the legal, well, it's different on the legal side. Like when we just talk about it, you know, it seems like it'd be easy to do that. But these people are putting the full force of government on a lot of these innocent people that didn't do anything wrong.

I think Republicans are pathetic. Absolutely. I was going to swear, but I try not to. But overwhelmingly pathetic. Yeah. Well, whenever you have Republican leadership complaining about how the far left has taken this country too far in that direction, you have to ask, why did you let them? Right. Well, there's just so many people who are like, you know, a good example is the don't say gay bill. We'll get into in a minute. I don't want to derail into that. I just want to highlight how even conservative outlets are referring to it by that instead of calling it the actual title of the bill or just like HR 1557 or whatever.

They're going along with it. I'm just like – that's why I liked the other day we mentioned Christina Pichot, the spokesperson for DeSantis, when she called it the anti-grooming bill and basically called the Democrats groomers. I'm like, no, that's what I call spine. Or when Ron DeSantis walked up to those kids and was like, you don't got to wear those if you don't want to. Please take them off. And I think he said later that he didn't want people to think he made them do it. He's like, I don't care if you wear it.

I'm not making you do it. So too often we have people who are just like, I'll do what I'm told and I'll go along with their abuse of power. You get Donald Trump. What do the Republicans do when the first two years of Donald Trump's presidency? A whole hot nothing. Or went, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry for the president. I'm so sorry that my party acts this way. They had Congress and they gave it up in 2018. They're not going to do anything. No, they're going to just keep collecting a paycheck. Sorry, go on. No, they need term limits. This is ridiculous.

As a point of clarification, Eric with Project Veritas is telling me that they did confront Rosen. Oh, they did? Yeah, and that's coming out in the future. All right, yeah. I'm just saying the video they posted is of Mark Mazzetti.

Right, right. Because every time they do one of these, they always confront the person about what they said and usually they just run away from them so here's a journalist saying it wasn't organized like outright saying it wasn't organized that's interesting reporter you know we got to trust nyt oh yeah yeah yeah yeah behind closed doors i tell you one thing dude our institutions are controlled by evil despicable people and there's no real political opposition the republican party for the most part is the no way don't party just do it in a couple Institutions are controlled by evil, despicable people, and there's no real political opposition. The Republican Party, for the most part, is the no, wait, don't party.

Just do it in a couple weeks from now. Not yet. No, wait, don't. We're losing. We're being beaten down. Every policy we push forward is a half measure, and the Democrats are getting what they want. Better not push too hard. You don't understand.

They're like, here's the art of the deal. You start with the compromise, and then they'll give you what you really want. No, no, no, Seamus. They're saying, here's the art of the deal. You start with the compromise, and then they'll give you what you really want. No, no, no, Seamus. They're saying, here's the art of the deal. You start with the compromise, and then you give in to their demands. Exactly. You just give them everything they want. I mean, the gun issue is the best example.

And then they like you. Then they're your friend, and they won't call you racist anymore. How many Republicans have come out and been like, abolish gun restrictions? None. Yeah. I mean, it's not really fair. I think Marjorie Taylorjorie taylor green and lauren very small handful but those are radicals tim well it's hilarious i've said this on the show before but whenever a republican actually tries to reverse left-wing policy rather than simply upholding the status quo or arguing that

our rights should be intruded upon more slowly they're referred to as a radical even though the whole point of their position is for them to reverse that which the left has put in place. I'm waiting. I'm waiting. You guys keep talking. I'm waiting for source confirmation on some breaking facts. I'm thinking about the history of leadership governments and stuff.

Most of them, I think, have been pretty bad over the years. Like if you take a thousand years, you probably got like 960 years of trash leadership. And then you get these great, these people that are so good because they're just actually good. And then they call them the great or something like that. And they give them these titles because they were actually intelligent people somehow that got into power that didn't get themselves killed. It's not common throughout history. It's very rare to see a fantastic leader and a good governance. Hammurabi did it.

That was like not 8,000 years ago or some stupid. I just want to say I kind of don't understand how this show exists. and a good governance. You know, Hammurabi did it. That was like not 8,000 years ago or some stupid. You know, I just want to say I kind of don't understand how this show exists. Because we push back on each other. No, no. I mean like

you've got the New York Times outright lying about all this stuff. You've got the government coming and rounding people up in a solitary confinement and somehow we're able to criticize them very heavily

and keep talking about this and showing like Veritas and pushing back on it. I'm just like, after everything we've seen, after every media organization has lied about almost every single story, how does a show like this exist? Don't hold your breath buddy.

I think the success of this show kind of derives from that. Where people are waking up to the fact that all these people do is lie and all they are are tools for large corporations and the establishment in this country, and shows like this aren't. And that's what... No, no, no.

What I mean is, why hasn't YouTube taken it down? Why are we allowed? Because the people in charge are not... They're being coerced by the military-industrial complex. No one wants freedom of speech gone. Like, the people that are really in charge of Google, they're not evil. They're just being coerced by this established force. If they were truly evil, they would have shut it down a long time ago. Well, I mean, that're not evil. They're just being coerced by this established force.

If they were truly evil, they would have shut it down a long time ago. I mean, that may be true. But I think you're wrong on this one. I don't think you need to censor people. I think you just need to assassinate their character. Obviously, at some point, they do want to censor. We've seen them do it before. People have been deleted from YouTube.

But why take down Tim's show when all you have to do is say, Tim Pool is a far-right extremist and anyone who repeats what he says is a bigot? But that doesn't work. At some point, it doesn't. You're correct. And I think that's when they do start taking people down. But the average person is still too afraid to talk about these things at their place of work or somewhere when they aren't sure that they're surrounded by like-minded individuals, unfortunately.

I am kind of curious how long we have on YouTube. And I'm glad we put our stuff on other sites. And I'm glad that we have the website. I would like to mention as well, I've got just an update from Veritas themselves, that their next installment is discussing New York Times' sources, the NSA and the CIA, and that they do confront this individual. So this should be interesting. But I think people at Google are evil But I think people at Google are evil.

I think people at Twitter are evil. I think there's a combination of evil and the banality of evil. And I do know it comes up a lot, but it is a good reference point, the Joe Rogan Twitter episode that I did, where I think you need only look at when I was talking with Jack and said, what is your reasoning for the misgendering policy? And they said, oh, because certain people have a higher propensity towards suicide. And I said, what about people with body dysmorphia or whatever it's called?

It's called general body dysmorphia or something like that. People who want to cut off their own hands or something. Oh, yeah. And they didn't have an answer to that. Yeah. Or when I said, if conservatives think your misgendering policy is inverted, why do you side with only one half of the country instead of – So clearly they have a worldview completely detached from yours. They're willing to silence and do whatever they want because in their worldview – it's what we were talking about yesterday.

Within the two parent factions of the culture war, there are those who believe in inalienable rights. Whether you're religious or not, there are people who believe there inalienable rights. Whether you are religious or not, there are people who believe there exists something outside of you and other people have equal right to life, liberty, and happiness. And then you have the woke cultists who believe that power is derived by force and they can take whatever they want. So that's like overarching narratives here. We here are like honest because, well, you should decide for yourself in your life because I respect you and your life and you do what you want.

The other side believes that power should be seized and you seize power by lying to people and manipulating them. Well, as Jack Dorsey said, Tim, if conservatives are allowed to express their views on Twitter, trans people aren't safe to express theirs. So censorship is actually promoting free speech. Did he actually say that?

That's not exactly how he put it, but that's what he, I mean, that's what he said. His whole argument was that transgender people are not in a safe space where they can speak freely unless those who would quote unquote misgender them are unable to do so. Let's talk about- That's not a misrepresentation of his argument.

That's what, I mean, that's what he was saying. And, oh, sorry. No, go ahead. No, just to make another point about that, I think, think you know it goes back to the fact that republicans controlled the presidency and both chambers of commerce or commerce congress for two years and didn't do anything about big tech censorship there's zero there are laws that can be changed that can prevent these big tech companies from censoring people and republicans just didn't do it the good news is i think a lot

of the gop start a lot of gop politicians and a lot of are starting to wake up and get it and understand that hey we can make reforms to section 230 we can make reforms to these laws that can that can you know stop big tech from censoring people and we'll see if it happens i want to i want to bring up this clip from uh Elliott on Twitter. Stephen Colbert. He says, I know what his name actually is. He says, today the average price of gas in America hit an all-time record high of over $4 a gallon. Okay, that stings.

But a clean conscience is worth a buck or two. It's important. I'm willing to pay $4 a gallon. Heck, I'm willing to pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla. I don't want a pro-abortion Catholic to talk to me about a clean conscience. Maybe we can do it. No, no, no.

What does he mean by clean conscience? No clue. What is that a reference to? I don't know. Climate change or Ukraine. One of the two. Well, why would it be climate change? Electric vehicles.

Buying less gas. He didn't say anything about... Yeah, this is Ukraine. He said buying gas. This is Ukraine. You don't have a clean... So it's Russia. Yeah.

Except the price of gas isn't going up right now because of Russia. We only just today banned imports of Russian energy. So this is Colbert manipulating you, manipulating regular people. But I'd like to point out, as I stated a moment ago, why should I care if a bunch of NPCs sitting in the audience go ha-ha-ha ha, ha, ha, ha, at a guy who's lying to them. Well, there's a thing that comes up that says laugh, like blinks, so they know when. They're cued to laugh and clap. It's all theater.

Literally in a theater they're doing that. And then them laughing and clapping cues the audience to know that they're supposed to laugh and clap. It also goes to show just how out of touch the elite in this country is with regular people. Stephen Colbert is worth millions and millions of dollars if the price of gas goes up it's not going to affect him as much as it is somebody who has to spend like 20 30 dollars on their gas tank to get to work every day how about a progressive cost of gas so the richer you are the more you have to pay when you

go to the pump and i saw i saw this one of the most i'm kind of joking because i don't want them to track people's income but how about that there's a meme uh it's kind of joking because I don't want them to track people's income, but how about that? There's a meme. It's from Cat Turd. And he said there should be two different gas pumps. Those who voted for Trump pay $2 and those who voted for Biden pay $10. Hey, Colbert just said he wouldn't mind paying $15 a gallon and he can afford it. A lot of people can't. No, because he drives a Tesla because he can afford a Tesla.

I mean, how do you say something like that and not think, does this make me sound ridiculously out of touch? They don't care. You know what he should have said? Nothing. He should have just been quiet. He should have said this, quote, today the average gas price in America had an all-time record of $4 a gallon. Let them eat cake. Exactly.

Let them use electric cars. That's right. He basically said that. That's literally what he said. Why don't you just drive a $60,000 Tesla? Why don't you just get your Tesla? Pete Buttigieg said the same thing twice, once in November and then once again Monday. It's like maybe it's because people can't afford a $40,000 car.

Maybe like the economy is the worst it's ever been. When someone takes an injury, that's not the moment to start like shaming them about getting healthy when they're hurting. That's not when. There was also a time like years ago when he was on comedy central where stephen colbert was actually funny like late night long time ago and like and late night comedy has just become trash and the reason it's become trash is because one it's not even comedy anymore and it's too comedy is supposed to challenge people and make fun of the people in power and it's become these people have essentially just become puppets of the powerful yeah i was looking at the snl lineup did you guys

catch that the last snl no it was like ukraine i gotta find out exactly what they're talking about it's all the stuff you think covid ukraine what else is on there and it's not it's not humor anymore it's not it's like it's reinforcing hey everybody, Russia invaded Ukraine. And then everyone's like, woo, and they're clapping. And it's like, that's bad. This strikes me as just another way to inject the idea that this is Russia's fault. But somebody was saying earlier today, I forget who I was listening to, it was something like MSNBC. They were like, no, gas prices have been rising since the start of the year.

And I was going to say, too, that if you can't afford to pay for $4 a gallon gas, most of us can't, odds are pretty freaking good that you also can't afford an electric vehicle and this is not the time to shame people for not being able to drive a tesla but what's sad about that is that is what members of the biden administration are saying between biden and pete budaj they're telling people that if you're worried about the price of gas to buy an electric car the average electric car costs like 55 000 and the median household income in America is like only $10,000 more.

And that's what these people are telling us to do, that if you can't afford gas, you should buy a car that you can't afford. If you're homeless, just buy a home. How hard could it be? What are you doing? Why aren't you buying houses, homeless people? It's so simple. It was simple the whole time. I mean, in their defense, a gallon of gas is going to cost

$55,000. This is what the left does with the homelessness problem. They're like, did you know that there are more empty houses than homeless people? Let's just put the homeless people in the houses. And it's like, oh, and then when the house burns down, who's going to be there to help them? Because houses need to be maintained. Because I'll tell you this. We had the smoke alarms went off here one day. And we have no idea where.

And then we're smelling smoke. So what do you do? Call the fire department. Get everybody in the house. house they got to go through they got to inspect everything and it could be it could be an electrical fire somewhere in the walls we don't even know so imagine you got a homeless guy clearly doesn't know how to maintain house certainly some homeless people are but a lot of homeless people are mentally unwell yeah you put them in a house you're basically shoving the problem under the rug. I'm not surprised that the Democrat establishment elites, people like Buttigieg, are saying, if you have an electric car, you don't have to worry about high gas prices. Yeah, well, if I was a millionaire, I wouldn't have to worry about it either. So case in point, if I was rich, I wouldn't be

complaining. But for poor people, they're like, how is this solving my problems? Well, here's the thing. Rich people people complain they just complain about you instead of their problems as is the case with colbert here i think it's uh it's an i i mean i agree with you homelessness is mostly an issue of mental illness or addiction very often and so yeah and so that their whole point about well there are homes for every homeless person that's not exactly uh demonstrating that they understand the issue here. And similarly, inflation and high gas prices are caused by the fact that we have printed trillions of dollars, and that results in prices going up because you flood the market with excess currency.

It's very straightforward stuff, and you're going to sit here and blame Russia for it, and they're going to shame you for not buying an electric car. You know what I did this morning? I bought a bunch of stuff. Yeah. So I was like, we've been procrastinating on some things because we're waiting for the new headquarters to start construction. So I'm like, look, we need cameras.

We need the new computer and the new live casting equipment stuff. I'll buy it when we're ready to. When we're a week out from the completion of the studio, we'll buy it. It'll get here on time. And then I woke up this morning and I saw the news about Shell pulling out of Russia and I was like, I'm gonna buy it all now. All of it. We're gonna put it

in boxes and we're gonna keep it because we're like two or three months away from needing it. But if I wait, it's gonna go up 30% or more. We should start buying spare parts for everything we got. Refrigerator, everything. Someone was telling us to buy 10 cheap Honda Civics or something. Because then they all have the same parts.

And you can strip one and then fix all the other ones. So yeah, if you ever play Fallout 3 and you'll have two repeaters. And then when one breaks you can combine them to repair the one. Yeah. I learned that from video games.

So it's a good idea. Video games are a great teacher. Yeah. They're not electric though. So maybe we should do ethanol conversions because I can tell you this, I certainly will not

be able to create gasoline but making ethanol actually ain't that difficult. So you want to do like what the doc did in Back to the Future and just throw garbage in your tank to make it run. That's flash graphene, man. That's what they do. They throw carbon trash into a little vessel

and then hit it with bombarded lasers and turn it into graphene. To quote, I think it was Dan Aykroyd. Was it Dan Aykroyd who did that SNL skit in the 70s where he was like, don't you want to own a $5,000 suit? Oh, yeah. Smoke a $200 cigar.

Drive a $50,000 car. Inflation's not bad. He was pretending to be Jimmy Carter. I love it. Like, well, here we go. So if you go by the inflation metrics, the calculation of the 80s, it's actually the worst inflation since World War II. We're also seeing a ground war in Europe, which we haven't seen since World War II. Flashbacks.

So, you know, you know what kind of worries me is if these World Economic Forum people really do want a great reset, why wouldn't they advocate for a full-scale World War III? No fly zones. It is absolutely infuriating to me

to watch our elites talk about how unworried they are about this because this is their fault. This is all their fault. The fact that we have massive inflation, which is not affecting them, entirely their fault. Their sons will not be sent overseas, but yours might because you're a pleb. You don't have an electric vehicle because you can't

afford it? Too bad. Should have thought about that before you were poor. It's like unbelievable level of arrogance and disconnection. That's what makes me really mad. Remember when Paris Hilton wore that shirt that said, Stop Being Poor? I've seen that meme a lot lately. It's a funny shirt.

I like it. That meme applies to a lot of people lately. Yeah. And also, what is this where we have inflation, economic downturn, and potentially World War III? We skipped right over the Roaring Twenties. Right. This was supposed to be the...

I was expecting the Roaring Twenties, and they skipped right to World War III. We got that in 2019. It's kind of what makes me nervous when we talk about how Trump had the best economy of all time, was under Trump, and that kind of sentiment. Not of all time. Maybe not of all time, but it reminds me of the Roaring Twenties because it's like just pumping inflation.

Everything looks great, but not really. It's because we're blowing the balloon up until it explodes. But, Ian, you're incorrect. Unemployment was at record lows. They don't measure it right. They don't measure people that aren't looking for work. That's true, but you still had employment going down among communities in ways we haven't seen before. I don't think it was the worst economy when that was going on, but it was inflating.

And it was construed as good because it was a lot more money coming into people's pockets, but it was inflating. And that's an issue of inflation. If everybody's rich and people don't want to work, you've got to pay more to incentivize them to work. And that's the problem with UBI. So one of the things that happens under a really great economy is some dude who makes $100,000 and it's the most they've made in a year. Someone comes to him and says,

I want you to do this job for me. The market rate is $2,000. He goes, I don't need to do it. I've already made a bunch of money this year and I'm good. And they say, okay, how about three grand? Okay, now the demand, like, you know, it costs more to get that job because somebody already made too much money. And that can also be a factor in driving up inflation as well.

So it's like they want to keep people poor so that they can keep prices down. It's an interesting control they have to, this game they play with the Fed. And so there's interesting questions. We had Will Chamberlain on. I think it was Will talking about the gold standard. Yes. And he was saying – like there are some interesting problems that happen when you have no control over the market because wild things can occur in the market. Bringing some stability isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The problem, in my opinion, is that the whole thing is exploitative. The whole thing is exploited. The elites take advantage of it. They use it to manipulate and control. They do punitive taxing. They say, we don't want people to smoke, so we're going to tax cigarettes. We don't want people driving cars.

We're going to tax gasoline and make it expensive. They do things like that. They shouldn't do that. That's manipulating society for political agendas. But that's how they use the monetary system to their advantage.

Or they tax people without ever officially saying that they're taxing them by printing a bunch of money and the value of everybody's savings and their current salary decreases so that we can fund other programs elsewhere, but it was never conceived of by the public as a tax. It kind of feels like hostile takeover of the crypto market over and over again

when they drive the prices down and then buy it back up. Hostile takeovers are illegal now because they used to do it at companies, and it was just so blatant. But now with crypto, it's not a company. It looks like an asset. So I don't think people have realized that it's kind of the same thing that's going on. Silver and gold are up.

I think gold... Someone want to check the gold price? I think it broke 2K. Yeah, let me see. But I think about that and I'm like, I do like gold and silver personally to a certain degree. But it's certainly not tracking alongside inflation. 2057.

2057. So it's over 2000. So it should probably like in what, 2010, I think silver hit like 40 bucks. Yeah, yeah. That was crazy. But if silver has been 20 bucks for 10 years it should be way higher right so that's why i'm kind of like i don't know if silver is the best bet in the world it's better than just sitting on u.s dollars that are inflating that are becoming worthless

so i'll certainly pick some of that up but i'm not super confident i'm wondering this is a question we've asked quite a bit what is a household item that is used frequently but extremely hard to make and so one of the things i copper wire like you you you don't go honey can you pick up copper wire from the hardware store for us sometimes you do if it's used every day by people yeah so i was thinking antiseptics because um well it's probably not that hard to ferment like certain alcohols to use antiseptics, we use them frequently. I mean, you use mouthwash almost every single day.

You're not supposed to do it every day, but for a lot of people, you use it a lot. You can use alcohol and other alcohols or hydrogen peroxide for cleaning wounds and stuff like that. So I'm thinking, what's something that's really hard for an individual themselves to make, but we use a lot? That will be extremely valuable. Medicine, yeah. Medicine be extremely valuable. Medicine. Medicine, for sure.

We were talking on, I think it was the members' only thing about how horse epinephrine was like one five hundredth of the cost of human epinephrine, even though it's identical, same thing. But please don't go buy horse medicine. Yeah, we talked about that with Thomas Massey. They love accusing conservatives of promoting horse medicine.

I've been looking at how some of the messages. Joe Rogan took horse to armor. Yeah. That you can make out fuel from wood. It's very dirty. And you can also make rubbing alcohol from wood. Yeah. Was it methanol?

So maybe rubbing alcohol is not, antiseptic is not so hard. You can't use it as mouthwash though. That grain alcohol I think is just for topical stuff. Yeah, that's why I was thinking, so I was like buy some mouthwash. Vitamin C.

Huge. I think vitamin C might be like, there might come a point where you're buying stuff with vitamin C or look, if you live in certain areas,

where do you get your vitamin C from? Serious question. For a lot of people, they take supplements or they're getting it from- Meat? Oranges? They get it from meat, actually.

How much vitamin C is in a- Citrus fruits, too. But those don't grow in West Virginia. I suppose you can eat some berries and pawpaw in September and October. Very seasonal. But for a lot of people, they're going to be lacking a lot of very important vitamins. So you could walk up and someone's going to be all scurvy-like and they're going to be like, I have this bottle of water.

And you'll be like, I got vitamin C. And they're going to be like, please. Oh, strawberries. I'm not sure that there's much vitamin C in meat. I've heard that in the past. Spinach, I think. When you're talking about vegetables, that's when you start to get it, yeah. I wonder if it's in grass.

I'm trying to find out. Parsley. Oil grass. I'll drink like a grass tea and get enough vitamin C. Where are you going to get your fats from in a true apocalyptic scenario? That's a fish. That's a tough one. Where are you going to go fishing? Not everybody can do that.

Are you capable of hunting? Are you capable of fishing? Are you raising goats or cats? Fish would be good. But a lot of people don't understand. I think it was in Venezuela they were telling people to eat rabbits. But that's rabbit starvation because rabbits don't have a lot of people don't understand so i think it was like in venezuela they were telling people to eat rabbits yeah that's rabbit starvation because rabbits don't have a lot of fat so you're just getting lean protein and it's not enough you need those fatty acids and stuff like that so a lot of people don't realize this americans have what i refer to as the shotgun diet

where they eat so much random stuff they get everything they need and then some right but if you actually start paying attention to your diet and start you know tracking how much you're eating and what you're eating you'll start to realize like whoa when you actually control for what you eat you got you better pay attention to where you're getting certain vitamins from like vegans have this problem with b vitamins because they eat a lot of just like vegetables and sugars and a lot of people get their b vitamins my understanding is from meat and dirt and they're not getting it. So you got to take supplements. So I think that's one of the issues where people might experience. Look, if gas is at four bucks a gallon record high already and Russia was just cut off, what's gas going to hit? There's some, there's some people saying over 200 a barrel.

Russia was saying over 300 a barrel. So that means we could be looking at like $8 to $10 a gallon for gas. If that's the case, good luck getting anything. Agreed. Anything. Because that diesel cost is going to go way up, and that means the cost of every single item. Shipping costs are going to double. You want to get something, double the shipping cost. Inflation is going to skyrocket.

And if we get hit with hyperinflation, man, it really does feel like the 1920s, right? Like Germany, at least. Tucker Carlson had a farmer on his show last week who said that because of the price increase of wheat, people could see their grocery bills go up by $1,000 a month. That's what this farmer said. Remember mayonnaise, mayo gate? Yeah, I sure do.

During the pandemic, this was almost like a year ago now, there was a restaurant that said they were spending something like 200 bucks more per week in mayonnaise. And the left saw the story. No, I'm sorry. Republicans saw the story and then posted something like Bidenflation at work. Restaurant spends 200 bucks a week for more mayonnaise. So the left saw it and trying to argue with the Republicans claimed the story was fake because they were like consumer prices are up 5%. So if they're spending 200 bucks a week and that's 5%, there's no way they're spending that much money on mayonnaise.

And it was amazing because these news organizations, news, I do air quotes, started reporting the story saying restaurant mocked for lying about mayonnaise costs. So I did the unthinkable. I called the restaurant and I said, hi, I saw a story where it said that one of your owners, partners said that you were spending 200 bucks a week more in mayonnaise. And he went, oh yeah, yeah, we do 10 of the tubs per week and they've gone up 20 bucks. They've almost doubled in price. So yeah, it's like 200 bucks a week. And I went, okay. I mean, that's a lot of mayonnaise though. And he goes, well, we got a 250 person capacity restaurant.

So we typically, we're usually fairly full. And the mayonnaise is used for salad dressings, for sandwiches, for dips. So we go through quite a bit. And I went, oh, okay, thank you. Do the note. It's amazing how for political reasons, they accuse some restaurant who is just telling the truth of being liars to suit their political

agenda that's the danger of these people to be completely honest i mean anyone who points out information that's inconvenient to them has to be a bad person they need to assassinate their character i found a couple of common ways to get vitamin c in a pinch uh dandelion greens dandelion tea they They're a weed, so they grow really fast if you want to grow those on a farm. And pine needle tea. Excuse me. From pine trees. Really? Yeah. Chicory also.

Yeah, we do have, I think, chicory around here. Yeah, pine needles aren't that hard to come by. We need more pine trees. Yeah. We've got the environment for it. Dandelion tea, you say. Dandelion's incredible. It's so powerful. Can you eat dandelions? You can. Really? They're really, really good for you. Yeah. Do they taste you say? Dandelion's incredible. It's so powerful. Can you eat dandelions? You can. Really? They're really, really good for you.

Yeah. Do they taste good? I've never eaten one. But when do you eat them? Do you eat them when they're like all poofy or do you eat them when they're yellow? You eat the greens. So you don't eat the flour? I don't think you eat the flour.

I don't know. What if you like pulverize it into a flour and bake like cookies with it? That could work. We actually had watermelon seed flour the other day and that was really good. Really? Yeah, that was interesting. We made like a carrot cake with it it was a lot of fun but remember we made that cricket bread yeah yeah it was not good it wasn't i would eat it in a pinch yeah yeah i would give it a cricket bread yeah yeah it was like flour made from pulverized crickets interesting because it didn't rise properly it was back when they were talking about everyone's

gonna eat bugs and then i was like look to be honest. I have no problem eating bugs if I have to. Because I think people need to recognize that life is not candy canes and rainbows. Sometimes you got to eat bugs. And honestly, when they're like, you will live in the pod. I'm like, depending on where the pod is, I would not mind a treehouse, small, little living

situation and being responsible. You can actually buy crickets as a snack too yeah yeah i remember i remember it's good well so i remember one time so when i was at the caller we we did this video for our subscribers where we had a because it was like when you know it was like going off of the you will not eat i will not eat bugs i will not live in a pod thing we actually ate some crickets and we bought them. They flavor them. You can buy them in like the same types of flavors that you do like potato chips. And I had some and they didn't taste bad.

When you eat it, you feel like it all on your tongue. And that's like what was – it's really – I don't care about that. Yeah, and that was like the worst part about it for me at least. So I purposefully then ordered a bag of cricket flour and Ian made a cricket bread. It was kind of nutty but too bitter. And so Ian actually mixed flour in with it because the cricket won't rise. One of the things we could do though and I think we tried.

No, no, no. It needs more egg because the egg cannot be rising and some rising agent. So I would give the cricket bread like a+, meaning you could eat it and probably just be like, eh. You could probably mix it in with a flour bread and then get a lot of protein out of that. Yeah, you can get cricket cookies that I hear are actually pretty good. The thing about the bread is that there's not a lot of flavor or sugar in it, so you're just getting the astringent cricketness of it. But I got to be honest,

like, I tell you this, and this is true of everybody listening as well. If push came to shove and you were starving and someone walked over to you with a bunch of roaches, you'd be like,

oh, thank you so much, and you would chow down. And you'd probably, it would be the most delicious thing you've ever tasted. No, if you're like, you know how food tastes better when you're hungry?

Yep. And then my thing is, you ever have corned beef hash for breakfast? Yes. For me, like the first bite is amazing. The second bite is pretty good. The third bite is okay. And the fourth bite, I'm like, okay, now I'm done. Like it's just very salty and strong.

And like the first bite is like, oh, so good. When you're hungry, food tastes good. And so give it a couple days. Don't eat for one day. Have no access to food. And I will walk up to you with a bag of grubs. And you'll be like, oh, they will taste delicious. You'll love it.

Yeonmi Park, she escaped North Korea. And man, when she was talking about the starvation that people are experiencing in North Korea, they can't think straight. They can't even question the government because all they do is search for food. Like there's people on the side of the road looking for food. There's people dying on the side of the road from starvation. It's pretty horrifying to think about. You take planks of wood and you press them into the ground.

And then the next day you come out and you lift it up, take the bugs, eat them, and then move the plank to a new spot. That's a really good idea. And so that's what Steve Rene was telling us about chickens. That if you want to feed your chickens and make it cheap, you just put different planks of wood, you know, out. And then you come out and when the chickens are out, you lift up the wood and they all run and eat the bugs.

Then you move the plank to another spot. You move them all and the next day you do the same thing because the bugs keep going underneath them. There you go. This is our future. In the post-apocalyptic world. It's also our past. No, I got to be honest.

I got no problem with being responsible. Look, I'm not saying everybody should be eating bugs and stuff like that. But my view is kind of like if we all had to be a little bit more responsible for ourselves, the food we eat, I think it's a good thing. Yes. So we've got chickens. We have too many eggs. We got to start giving them away.

We're incubating 56 eggs right now because we have too many. Can they be frozen and stored? You can store them. It's called glassing, I think it's called. And they can be stored for a couple years. I was just watching Grizzly Man last night. You guys ever see that Grizzly Man movie? That guy that went to the...

He went up north somewhere and lived with the grizzlies. And then one of the grizzlies ate him and it's on video like it's burner herzog did a documentary about it and the guy's like screaming for his life um yeah nature's no joke why did the grizzly eat him uh he was hungry he went up there during the feeding times before hibernation he defied all the logic and was like they're my friends you guys gotta watch grizzly man wait did he have a relationship with the grizzlies he thought he did he was, they're my friends. You guys got to watch Grizzly Man. Did he have a relationship with the Grizzlies? He thought he did. He was like, they're my friends, except for the machine who I don't trust, and it was the

machine that ate him and his girlfriend. It's really a horror film. It ate his girlfriend. It's on video. They didn't take the lens cap off. It was just recording the audio. It's freaking terrifying. And you can hear him screaming and everything. For like minutes. And it's just like the bear has taken its time. Nature is not a joke. You do not want to be a you versus the elements. We're brutal. And it's just like the bear has taken its time. Wow. Nature is not a joke.

You do not want to be a you versus the elements. We're lucky. And when the ammo runs out, they didn't take any defensive weapons. They were like, no, we're not going to even have bear spray. Oh, gosh. Hippies. He truly believed that they were his friends. I'm trying to figure out things to buy that we'll need.

I bought a katana. Is that something we'll need? No. Like in the apocalypse? Sure. Like train in the ways of the sword? Maybe like 20 machetes. Yeah.

Doesn't need ammunition. So this katana was like 50 bucks. And it's really sharp. Cool. It's probably not good. No. But it probably works for a little bit. I'd save it for home defense, to be honest, against like animals.

Stuff like crazy, like raccoons. Probably just use it for clearing brush and going bushwhacking or something. I mean, look, I'm no defense expert or prepper expert but i would definitely recommend that people try to get non-perishables that could last them for quite a while even if you don't have the money to buy large bulks of it right now we're getting to the point where it could be too late soon so at least every time you go to the grocery store maybe buy some extra cans if that's all you can afford and i'll add this as well. People are really blackmailed about the economy and the direction it's going to go in.

And it very well could get really, really ugly really quickly. And that's not something that I want for this country. But I'll say this. Your grandparents and great-grandparents who lived through the Great Depression are probably better people than you. And they're probably more virtuous because of it. So even though we might be facing really hard times, hard times do make strong men. And you should hope and pray that you're able to make it through whatever is to come with strength and dignity. All right.

Let's go to Super Chats. If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends. Head over to TimCast.com. We're going to have a member segment coming up for you around 11 or so p.m but let's read what you guys got going on all right let's see not my regret says it's terrible in michigan too saw four dollars and 55 cents unleaded and six dollars and 22 cent diesel it's close to over a dollar in the span of two days i remember when i was a premium, it was like a nickel difference. It was like five cents a gallon difference for premium, mid-range,

and then for like regular, middle, and then premium. And then after the price spike, it went to like a 10-cent difference. Now I'm seeing a 50-cent difference. I saw, like look at the pictures, like $6 and like 6.30, then 7 or whatever. So it's like the gap between the grades is getting crazier. I wonder sometimes how much the price is going up is purely because of inflation and how much it's opportunistic by the companies masking it with inflation and just trying to make more profit. Talking gas prices?

Just prices in general going up. I think in this time of inflation, it would be very beneficial for them to keep their prices as low as possible. I know that there's been arguments from the Bideniden administration for example that they're doing this because of greed but then the question is did they just start getting greedy after you guys printed trillions of dollars all right let's see someone chatted and this isn't a super chat but it's a good chat with with alerts and it says tim you're wrong on bugs a journalist tried to do 30 days of eating bugs even when starving she couldn't do it and wanted to die instead. Yikes. Well, all right then. Yeah, you need fish.

OMG Puppy says Victoria Newland is deeply to blame for the conflict in Ukraine today. Look at Oliver Stone's documentary, Ukraine on Fire. It's on YouTube, Rumble, and Vimeo. Interesting. Brian Bova says Nostradamus was right. The zombie apocalypse starts in Russia.

What if it is a zombie apocalypse? If you're in a zombie apocalypse and you find a dead body on the ground, if you didn't put an arrow in its head, it's probably still alive. I'm sorry. I get so tired of watching zombie movies or honestly any movie where it's like they're fighting a bad guy and they don't finish the bad guy off, be it a zombie or otherwise. It's like, dude, this creature, this undead thing is attacking you and they'll like hit it and it falls down and then they'll be like all right everybody let's oh no it's biting me now and it's like well yeah like what do you think was gonna happen and then they never ever call them zombies in zombie movies yeah well in some they do in there and then it's very rare but what movie was it where they they duct tape magazines to their arms

oh for armor it's armor they can that's good scratch armor yeah slashing well you can't bite through it but the funny thing is like biting is actually a really awful way to transmit diseases so it's just like a bad theme anyway well there was also rabies yeah in the movie Zombieland with Jesse Eisenberg he

always had the rule where he always had to double tap every zombie that he killed. That's right. Interesting. Great rule. Yeah. All right. Let's grab a super chat.

EaseZQ says, we got 1.5 trillion omnibus bill consisting of several thousand pages whose text has yet to be released. Congress to vote on it by tomorrow night at least. All right. Look, I don't know how this stuff works, but Marjorie, can you just slide in a repeal, abolish the ATF just right in the middle? They'll sign it. They're not going to read it.

There you go. ATF gone. Repeal the NFA. Gone. Yeah, well, this is how DC works. They pass these bills that are like gajillion pages long that nobody's read that's written in the dead of night by lobbyists and special interests. That how our government works we're not governed by congress we're governed by special interests in washington dc yep all right and also like this was a you know this was a thing

that uh my friends at american principles project were highlighting today which is that the democrats are trying to put their new version of the violence against women's act into this omnibus bill now that's a misnomer for the title because part of the bill is any women's shelter that doesn't allow biological men has their funding taken away. Does that sound like preventing violence against women to you? No. That's crazy. Let's read some more. We got Janice Partridge who says it is already the 9th of March in New Zealand.

So happy birthday, New Zealand time, Tim. Thank you very much. Tomorrow is my birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday my birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Tim. Happy birthday. Jerry Wells says almost every country has biolabs. Just depends on the research being conducted in them.

I completely agree. That is a true statement. And that's why the problem is these fact checks need to be thorough and break down the issues. Like, yes, there are biolabs here. Russia has issued statements of concern we we don't believe they're genuine these are not included in putin's demands these don't appear to be funded by the u.s i think that's all are they weapon labs unconfirmed right what are they well they did say that it was like food and drug stuff you know so all right let's grab some super chats dark soul poetry says f it f ukraine f nato f the old

imperialist club from the eu well there you go that's one way to put it based tell us how you really feel jack sparrow says occam's razor if you think ukraine the only country to get poorer after leaving the soviet union has their biolabs support their robust medical program. You're a fool. Yes, we funded it. But it's, you know, perhaps, let's get to the point of that story. We can certainly have our opinions on it. I agree. I want to be precise because I want to have the discussion around the biolabs. I want to have a discussion around what Russia's motivations are. And then we can investigate them and figure out what exactly was going on, right? I do also want to say, I'll add to your point. If you think Ukraine, the only country to get poor

after leaving the Soviet Union, is actually beating Russia in a ground war, then you are a fool. Now, maybe it's a little bit harsh, but they keep saying like, oh, Ukraine's winning and they're doing this. Yeah, it's because NATO is supporting them. They call it the borderland, the Ukraine borderland, because I believe in the past,

the empires of the West, the French and the English and the empires of the East, the Russians, the Ottomans would fight in the borderland. They all agreed we're going to fight here because it's flat. And then if we level the universe, we level it to the ground, we're going to level Ukraine, the borderlands and not our home territory. So it's just like a torn war zone, man. And for them to actually be defending that flat land, they're going to need massive amount of help.

All right. Beef Nasty says, just make a Zeppelin, Tim. I did. We created the Let's Go Brandon Blint. We flew it already. Had live cameras on and everything. Where's the update, Wikipedia? How come people haven't gone on Wikipedia and put back in that I invented a Zeppelin?

You see how it works? When I don't invent the Zeppelin, they claim I do. And then when I do, they won't put it back in. It's messed up. Well, you guys have heard it. I did. It's on Cast Castle Vlog. You can take the video and you can put it on Wikipedia.

Tim Pool did invent a Zeppelin and put a flag on it. Actually, it was Luke's idea. Let's go, Brandon. There you go. The KL Tanker says, Did you know on your Spotify podcast are ads for CNN and yourturn.gov vaccines? That's absolutely fine. I'm glad that CNN is buying ads on my show.

And then I can take that money to fund a show where I say that CNN is trash and complete garbage and you shouldn't watch it. Thanks for the money, CNN. I always think it's funny. The activists who are like, no, that's people who are advertising on their show. Yeah, it's CNN. Congratulations. Go complain to them. I'm pretty sure like if you went to CNN and said, you know, you're advertising on Tim Poole's show, they'd be like, maybe we don't want to do that. Like, or maybe they do actually. Like when Bloomberg was advertising on my YouTube youtube channels it's kind of the channel he wants to advertise on because i'm ragging on him all the time and so he needs to be able to say his his piece you know sure i guess that's an interesting thing about um these the way ads are run today if we're doing direct sales because this happens all the time i get an email from like our sales rep and they'll be like would you want to sponsor from this this is the reason we have

very few sponsors why it's mostly like bi sales rep and they'll be like, would you want a sponsor from this? This is the reason we have very few sponsors. Why? It's mostly like Biotrust, Virtual Shield, and maybe like a couple of other companies here and there. Because they'll reach out and be like, do you want to read this? And I'll say no. But with YouTube and with podcast automated ads, I don't control it. It's totally third party that makes the ad buys and does the positioning. So I'm just like, I guess it wasnn this time whatever group b says tim remember when trump gave a speech at the un general assembly about how the germans were captive to russia on gas or trump nato summit about energy deals with russia both took place in 2018 oh i certainly remember those that's right that's why it's always hilarious to me when people say that Trump weakened our alliance with NATO.

All he ever wanted them to do was stop outsourcing their energy production to Russia and actually pay the 2% of their GDP to defense that they're supposed to. And that's been interpreted as weakening NATO. I'mCIA says you owe retraction on Kony 2012. Last night's show you claimed Jason Russell gripped himself in public. This was an exaggeration by the press see internet historians story of Coney 2012 video he didn't grab himself

in any way I don't know I don't know anything about it I didn't say he was tubing it no I like I I could have sworn there's a video of him

like holding himself you know what I mean like you saw yeah invisible children boss Jason Russell arrested for doing it to himself

in public doing that nationalpost.com but that could be the manipulation was he just holding his you know Invisible children boss Jason Russell arrested for doing it to himself in public. Doing that. Nationalpost.com. But that could be the manipulation. Was he just holding his, you know, hoo-hoo? He was probably tripping and took all his clothes off and ran outside and was running around like a monkey. I don't know. Yeah, there's a video of him.

Yeah, I know. That's why I'm like, yeah, he was, you know, he was holding himself. Not too many, but still inappropriate. Right, that's why I said gripping. Yeah. Like, I don't know what, he was, you know, he was holding himself. Not too many, but still inappropriate. Right. That's why I said gripping. Yeah. Like, I don't know what else to say, you know. Gripping. All right.

Billy Warren says, Tim, Ian and Seamus are correct. Take a look at Oliver Stone's documentary, Ukraine on Fire. It'll explain exactly what the U.S., Gloria Newland, and the State Department did there. You mean Victoria? Oh, it's probably voice text. Victoria Newland. Oh, yeah. Mr. Mystery says,

Tim's Biden is way more accurate than Seamus's. Come on, man. You know, part... This is Timmy. This is... Well, anyway. Yeah. All right, Tim, now do yours.

I've never heard it before. Oh, I can't. I can't. I can't. I can only spontaneously do it. Part of why I love Oliver Stone and this Ukraine on Fire, why I'm excited about Ukraine on Fire

is because he was in Vietnam. I think he got drafted. He might have joined, enlisted. But he was over there, and he truly believed in the mission and the government and everything and realized while he was there how messed up it is in Operation Northwoods came out. And he was like a vocal proponent of false flags and the effery that goes on politically with war. Here we go. A green clover says civilian contractor here. I've been to cutter and saw

someone fall during construction and no one bet in an eye wild west out there yikes shout out to fifa man you're doing a great the world of great service and victor rodriguez's former apple employee hated them max absolutely can get viruses mac os is compartmentalized so viruses are usually contained to the downloaded download folder and end up being forced pop-ups and redirects interesting it was based on unix by the way yeah yeah it's they just it's it's like obvious you know which i've never i've never liked apple and i'm just like either my friends are like i'm gonna spend a thousand dollars on a computer with the processing power of another computer that costs three hundred dollars and i'm like why are you doing that like i have student loans. I don't care.

And now they're like, pay off my student loans. And I'm like, no. They were vastly incompatible with gaming in the 90s when I was getting into PC gaming. And it was just such a turnoff and a bad taste. I got the iPhone because it was the first smartphone. But then I immediately switched to Android when they started doing it. Apple was like, you can't take the battery out of the phone. It was freakish.

What was it in the 90s? They had the power PC processor instead of intel right and so they couldn't run anything cool talking about windows no i'm talking about yeah apple did not have intel processors until the macbook right and now they're not an intel anymore yeah i remember when pentium 2 came out that was crazy i was like a little we had a turbo button on our computer yeah yeah turbo button i don't know was that what did it do overclock like why not use it. I don't know. What did it do? Overclock? I don't know. Like, why not use it then? I don't understand. Like, why have it off?

Probably because your computer overheats. Did it just make games play super fast or something? I remember we went to Best Buy and we got a computer that was like 13 gig hard drive. Oh, I got it. And we were like, whoa. Dude, it's crazy. So I remember, this was 2005. I was a little 10-year-old electronics with my dad and he handed me a

little usb flash drive off the shelf and he said seamus this can store as much as 82 floppy disks and i was like what i was like can we have it he's like yeah just put your your school assignments and stuff on it it's like my goodness there's a little 82 megabyte uh flash drive not like an 82 megabyte flash drive what would you even do with that? Remember, didn't they make floppies? Like floppies that had like 200 megabytes on them or something? They did towards the end. Yeah, no one was using them, but it was just like they had these super high capacity floppy disks.

Oh, yeah. I think tape drives, tape disks are still very useful for backing stuff up because they don't degrade. The first computer I ever put together, I got parts from a thrift store, and it was a Windows 3.1 with a tape drive. I'm looking up the turbo button a little. It says here the turbo button selects one of two run states, default, normal speed, or reduced turbo speed from the mid-'90s. Well, yeah, didn't they have – there was like – there was this new format.

They looked like floppies. I don't think they would function in a regular floppy disk drive, but they could store up to 200 megabytes. You need like a separate attachment. This is the contrary to what it suggests. The turbo button lets a computer run slower than the speed for which it had been designed. That's interesting. Let's read some more.

Increases the engine's power and efficiency. Pyrotechnic says any form of progressive tax is corrupt. A non-corrupt tax would be flat i do not agree um i think the issue with a flat tax is that the richer you are the less the less you need to survive so the issue is for every dollar you earn over well at this point with inflation i mean yeah i don't know what the median number is going to be but let's say let's say you need a hundred thousand dollars to have all your basic needs met. That means someone who makes less than that isn't having their basic needs met, but they're still being taxed. Then let's say you make $100,000. That means you're having your basic

needs met and you're paying taxes. For a rich person who's making $200,000, you now have $100,000 on top of your salary after taxes, however much, 60 or 70, to do with whatever you want. Like buy extra hard assets very easily, hedge your bets, and start generating wealth very, very easily. This makes it extremely easy for people who exponentially increase their wealth to increase their wealth further and gain more and more power in the system. The arguments I've heard from the libertarian right is that it's a good thing if people learn how to use the system to gain power because they have the merit to learn how to control the system. And my argument is I don't like individuals having disproportionate amounts of power just based on the fact they have money in the first place because some of these people didn't

earn the money. They inherited it. And then they never have to worry about earning anything. And you end up with legacies running governments or running corporations. And that's not a good thing. How you solve for it, I don't exactly know. But I think that at the very least, progressive taxes, look, I'll put it this way. I have money and I pay an insane amount of taxes. And it's like, man, people only knew like how crazy taxes get at the highest brackets. It is insane. Well over 50%. They want to talk about American tax are only 35.

Nah, they have no idea what they're talking about. Because when you're running a company and you're doing doing these things you get taxed every step of the way when you're buying the equipment you need when you're when you're when you're paying employee salaries when you're paying yourself the taxes are massive someone will buy an ad for this for this company for a sponsor spot we'll read it and of the money we get more than half goes to taxes in some ways it's insane but but we live in the best country on earth we're making it we're making massive awesome stuff all around us you know i want to make a point here regardless of how you feel about having a flat tax or a progressive tax you mentioned

inflation and income brackets and this is going to be something that you have to look out for in the future here back in the 80s after the inflation of the 70s, Reagan came along and he adjusted the tax code because we had a progressive tax code. And so there were people who prior to the 70s were making significantly higher amounts of money than they would need to survive. So they were taxed at a higher rate.

But after the 70s, because inflation had gotten so bad, people who were in that income bracket were not necessarily wealthy anymore. So he adjusted those brackets, and he was accused of slashing taxes for doing that. Now, he did cut taxes in other ways, but it was argued that that was this horrible, regressive thing to do. So I want people to watch out for this. gets worse and as it becomes more expensive to survive people are going to be pushed into higher income brackets that have a higher taxation level when they're really just breaking even or making ends meet so the taxation level should go up comes along to try to adjust that they're going to

accuse him of slashing taxes and they're going to say in this environment where so many people are going hungry how could you even think about cutting taxes on the rich? I think like, I think wealth taxes make no sense. Stupidest idea I've ever heard. But I think the higher brackets need a higher percentage and we have to stretch and adjust, which means like what kind of what you're saying for a certain income level, maybe around like the 200 thousands, we lower the taxes. And then for over half a million to a million, you slightly increase. And then for like a million to five million, it goes up. And then for like five million to 15, it goes up.

The issue is that I think the tax bracket stops at what, like $250? $250 million? No, $1,000. Oh, oh. Yeah. I think it's like, no, it might be, yeah, I think it's like, what's the last bracket, like $250? It might be, yeah, I think it's like, what's the last bracket, like 250? It might be like 500.

So that means somebody who's making, in terms of income, like 13 to 14 million a year, these CEOs. Like Colbert, I think it's 16. Some people are getting 50, depending on the contracts they have, depending on what industry they work in. They're paying the same percentage as somebody who's making 200,000. That's one of the problems I have. It's not an issue of the progressive or flat tax. It's that if you're going to do it, you got to do it right. You want to have a flat tax? Okay, fine, man. Far be it from me to argue. I'll have more money. You want to do a progressive tax? Well, then you need to keep going with the progressive taxes.

So this is interesting. I was looking into what the brackets are, and we have an article on the IRS website or a page saying that they're providing tax inflation adjustments for 2022, which is sort of a start, but I'm very curious to see how they're providing tax inflation adjustments for 2022, which is sort of a start, but I'm very curious to see how they're adjusting it considering based on the way that our government actually measures inflation, they don't really give you the full picture. What do you guys think about the whole taxation is theft? Oh, sorry. I thought you were done. No, no. I guess my point is we are still going to need adjustments to the tax code because of inflation. My issue is as much as I can be like, I understand the idea of a progressive tax to kind of curtail

the power of private individuals who accumulate too much. We don't want to stop them from ever being able to work, but we do want to make sure that we're constraining inequality. When inequality gets, one of the precursors to societal collapse is inequality. I know a lot of people maybe don't like the idea but but it's true when the well when the wealthy have too much power just disproportionate power and are saying things like just buy an electric car you know you get people losing their minds like people right now you're gonna you're i'm telling you man you got people

who are like i can't buy gas and colbert being being like i drive a tesla i don't care yeah people are gonna be like, that's it. These powerful elites are screwing us over. Biden is halting gas leases for climate change issues. And then someone's going to start screaming. So you need to have some way to like constrain these issues. The problem is giving the money to the government doesn't solve the problem. Being like, we want to make sure that ultra rich people aren't saying let them eat cake.

But the problem is giving money to the government just recycles the money among the elites. Because elites, it doesn't matter if you're in corporation or government. They're all birds of a feather flocking together up top. Yeah, exactly. I used to be extremely libertarian. And at this point, I don't necessarily have the same argument from principle about certain forms of taxation. But ultimately, I still don't trust anyone in government to spend the money better than a wealthy person would if you just left them alone with it how do you justify owing the federal reserve more money than we have it's a good question yeah i'm not sure like how much let's

read some more super chats here murph says i heard a retiring general contractor say once don't be surprised that if one day plumbers and carpenters start making more than heart surgeons, skilled master laborers will be in high demand. Absolutely. Well, geez, heart surgery is pretty skilled labor. But I see where your point. Jeremy Weehan says spruce has vitamin C. Oh, good to know.

All right. We have a bunch of crazy berries out here. We have winter berries. There's a tree that in the winter drops berries all winter. That's really good. I didn't know that was a thing. The chickens go nuts for it, though. You know, whatever.

We also, in the summer, we have wine berries everywhere. Yeah, those are good. Everywhere. It's crazy. You walk outside, it's like a red, like just red everywhere. And you can walk up and just take them and eat them. I saw a guy pull over on the side of the highway, get out of his car, hop over and just grab a bunch and get back in his car and start eating them. It's crazy.

All right. Pardaxalus says, good reporting from Elad on the People's Convoy. Was only able to find his videos on Timcast's website. Is this on purpose? Seems like a failure to promote them. Maybe a Timcast Reports YouTube channel is in order. I think we put them on

Rumble because we don't want them. I don't know. Maybe we just didn't think about it. We put them on the website. And honestly, we're trying to produce more content for the website that is substantive and valuable for people. So as a member at TimCast.com, you are funding this kind of reporting from our reporters on the ground. And it was expensive, absolutely expensive, as we expected it would be. But it's okay. Let me just let everybody in on an industry secret. The coverage that we did of the People's Convoy from when we started to when it finished, I think it's still technically

ongoing, cost us a lot, thousands, and has made us nothing. We don't generate money off of ad revenue from it. And technically, we could argue because we're mostly a membership website, it's just a component of what makes the site valuable for you as a member, but it's free content. So that's why I just say, look, we take money and we spend it on doing good reporting and getting good reporters out there to talk to people and be honest about what's happening. And that's expensive. I don't expect to make a lot of money. I expect to make a great website where people want to support us and they become members because we do good work. There you go.

All right. Let's grab a few more of these. The Spence Fencer. Hey, Ian, put wood in an airtight box, then burn the box. Distill vapors from the boxes. Cooled. Condensifier. You have wood alcohol now.

Wow. Get gooder, man. Really? Wait, is that it? There's still vapors from the box? I didn't know that. That's really interesting. Dilly Dilly says spruce needles are very high in vitamin C.

Wow, I didn't know that. Ian, for some reason, bought like 50 gallons of vinegar. Only 0.2% of your daily vitamin C in red wine vinegar. No, the other ones seem to have vitamin C in them. People are always like, hey, Tim, why is there so much vinegar percent of your daily vinegar or vitamin C and red wine vinegar. No, the other ones seem to have vitamin C in them. But yes, vinegar. Like people are always like, hey, Tim, why is there so much vinegar in your storeroom?

And I'm like, I don't know. Ian bought it. It was Ian. It never goes bad. But it's a great seasoning agent. If I was going to make like a tea desperate situation, I get some tree bark, some grass, vinegar and salt, and it would be like a broth. I guess you can take like malt vinegar and put it on your potatoes.

Oh, for sure. You can rub it on wounds. Especially the white vinegar. Can't you use it for some kind of like chemical processes to strip out baser elements from other compounds? I don't know deeply on the chemistry. I'm not sure. I've heard, I think so, but I don't know. Yeah. Definitely learning chemistry is important.

The Spence Fencer says, copper destroys vitamin C. No copper cookware for vitamin C. Interesting. Very interesting. All right, let's grab just a couple more here. Trujillo says, part Korean podcaster Tim Pool

does not know dandelions can be eaten. In fact, he does not. I knew you could make tea because Ian talks about it so much. Dandelions. I used to be allergic to them because i ate so much sugar it turns out years later now i don't sneeze around them anymore all right let's grab this one cornbread says tim if a progressive tax is the answer what are your thoughts of a progressive sales tax base on the price of goods higher the price the more the tax income tax in my opinion is theft i honestly don't know because as much as my issue here is curtailing

income inequality so that you don't have oligarchs. Now, let me explain. When you have oligarchs, when you have a very few handful of elites, they buy up all the buildings and property. The building will cost a million dollars to buy, but the rent will be 500 bucks a month. And you think to yourself, how is that possible? Well, it's simple. The rich only trade among themselves and the poor people are shut out from ownership, from the ownership economy. I think that's really, really bad and it results in extreme tyranny. I don't think taxes necessarily solve the problem because then you're just giving money to government and government just screws around and does stupid things like indoctrinate

kids in schools. So I don't have all the answers, my friends. It's really, really difficult. And BlackRock's doing a lot of that where they're buying up all this middle-class housing and jacking up the rents for everybody and basically pricing middle-class homebuyers out of the market. I say we do this. JD says, fried dandelion flowers are delicious, taste like fried mushrooms. You do it when fresh and yellow. Well flowers are delicious taste like fried mushrooms you do it when fresh and yellow well all right we're gonna do it let's look up a fried dandelion recipe

see if we can we can do you know ian's survival course on the cast castle vlog or something beautiful and we'll bread them and fry them up and then dip them in some kind of like chipotle ranch oh all right it's like zucchini, but with dandelions. I love it. I mean, I don't know. Bees apparently love chilling out on the dandelions. I'm sure it must be good. Salt, pepper.
