If you have questions or concerns about your gambling or someone close to you, So apparently Kanye West shows up to the Skechers offices in Los Angeles, unannounced, and then was escorted out of the building. So we don't know exactly why,

but this story is apparently breaking and it just comes amid the fall of Kanye West and the fall of his empire. He's no longer a billionaire. He's been dropped by a ton of different companies. And so with this news just coming out, I think it's interesting considering his support for Trump, his politics, what's happening with the Lex Friedman interview. So we're going to talk a bit about what's going on with Kanye West, but we do have a lot of other news. The headline, the title of this podcast changed a bit because we're hearing also that PayPal reinstated their fine of $2,500. They didn't reinstate it. It's always been there, or at least for several years. What they took out was the misinformation.

What's still there is they can fine you for hate speech. So I think most people just didn't realize that provision's been in there for a very long time, at least two or almost three years now. So we'll talk about that. Plus, Elon Musk, he walks into Twitter HQ with the kitchen sink. So good for him. He's going to be buying the platform. Everybody's really excited. And of course, we got to talk politics because it's getting crazy out there, man. Real clear politics says that the Republicans are going to be buying the platform. Everybody's really excited. And of course, we got to talk politics because it's getting crazy out there, man. Real clear, politics says that the Republicans are going to win 53 seats in the Senate. That's crazy.

And now they're saying that Michigan is going to go Republican. Yo, this is getting nuts. Democrats are about to get a major blowout loss. So let's talk about that stuff.

Joining us tonight to talk about this and a whole lot more is Ian Pryor. Thanks for having me. Who are you? Who am I? That's a good question. Well, I live in Loudoun County, Virginia, which is kind of the epicenter of all fun things, especially related to the school system,

but it's probably ground zero in what happened in Virginia in 2021 with Glenn Youngkin getting elected and being the first Republican governor in 12 years. I joined a lot of parents last year that was pushing back on the school system, on the culture, really, on cancel culture from local activists against parents that were speaking up at school board meetings on things like, you know, closed schools or masks or critical race theory or transgender issues. And it really just took off.

And, you know, it was it was impressive to see just how everybody stepped up and, you know, exercise their civic duty to stand up to what their government was doing at the local level. I mean, we always see, you know, everyone's obviously, you know, focused on the midterms right now. And in presidential years, people are focused on the presidential races. But in these local political issues, everybody just assumes you, you send somebody to a school board, or you send somebody to your board of supervisors, or your local Commonwealth attorney, and they just do the job because they're not political. Well, not anymore and maybe never. But I think now these days we see it more and more.

And it really just snowballed to to November of last year where, I mean, you had thousands of parents out at that that final Glenn Youngkin rally in Loudoun County, Virginia. And, you know, while he didn't win Loudoun County, I would say that, you know, that area was integral in Virginia flipping, but also in really setting off people throughout the country. I mean, I can't tell you how many times, how many emails, calls, text messages, DMs from people saying, how do we do here what you did there? But you're actually seeing it now across the country. I mean, you're seeing, you know, you look at Dearborn, right? We talked about Dearborn and, you know, the Muslim community going out to school board meetings and saying no. And, you know, this this woke culture that, you know, prides itself on we want to create diversity.

Well, yeah, they have done that, but they've done it in a way that it's now opposing them, where you have all these different coalitions that are opposing their, you know, ideology. That was their plan the whole time to sacrifice themselves for the greater good right get everybody riled up be the villain so that they all turn on them and focus it focus in on on their problems but uh this would be interesting loudon county was like a major catalyst for a lot of what we're seeing around the country especially with school so thanks for hanging out we got a lot more to talk about we also got luke hey guys my name's ukradowski here of wearechange.org i come here to you with one very simple, trendy, yuppie message, and that is two plus two equals five, you bigot. Now get in line, comply, or else, and get the shirt on thebestpoliticalshirts.com. Hi, everyone. Ian Crosland here. Happy to be here from iancrosland.net and at iancrosland if you'd like to follow me on social media, but let's get to this, huh?

We got searchpressingbuttons.com. Yeah, press and buttons. That's right. Take it away, Tim. All right, here's the first story. Kanye West is squirted out of Skechers' office in Los Angeles after he showed up unannounced. Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, was escorted out of the LA office

of Shoemaker Skechers, the company said. The incident comes after Adidas terminated its relationship with the fallen rapper and fashion mogul over his recent anti-semitic and racist remarks he said racist remarks like or is that are they saying about jew judaism is it's a religion and a race but is it i mean is that what they're saying they're saying that the one the one thing he said is both or i don't know if he said something i think it's about the white lives matter t-shirt that he's wearing oh okay all right yeah that's probably right i was no i was just wondering if

it was multiple statements or are they saying that you know talking about jewish media or whatever is what he whatever he said considered both so they basically say he showed up unannounced at and has escorted out of the building yo that's crazy quote sketchers is not considering and has no intention of working with west we condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate anti-semitism or any form of hate speech, the company said in a statement. The company would like to again stress that West showed up unannounced and uninvited to Skechers corporate offices. Yo, that's crazy.

He's like persona non grata across the board now for what he went on. Tucker Carlson, he said some stuff. What was he tweeted about it? He tweeted about the Jewish mafia, he said. And that's it. You know, for the record, a Semite is anyone from ancient Southwestern Asia. It includes Acadians, Phoenicians, Hebrews, Arabs. So if people say anti-Arab stuff, they're anti-Semitic, just for the record.

Yes. So keep it clean, folks. Yeah. So anyway, the reason I thought, I mean, mean look this is kanye west i said folks i don't normally say that i guess they got you ever since they called you a conservative yeah no i think it's interesting we look we were we were trying to figure out like what are we leading with on today and uh you've got elon musk he's buying twitter that's happening so we'll talk a bit about that you've got paypal banning hate speech but what we have here check this out with

kanye west he tweeted a few things this is this is this is cancel culture check it out look i i think what he said was stupid obviously and wrong la times kanye west hits keep coming here the companies that have cut ties within the gap instagram and twitter jp morgan chase def jam balenciaga is that he said caa mrc adidas footlocker jaylen brown and aaron donald donda sports oh wow donda was Balenciaga, is that what you said? C-A-A-M-R-C, Adidas, Foot Locker, Jalen Brown and Aaron Donald, Donda Sports. Oh, wow. Is that it? Donda was just talking,

saying that they were sticking with him yesterday. Is this right? Donda? His lawyer also made sure that he's not working with him. His talent agency- His lawyer dropped him. Yeah, his lawyer dropped him. His talent agency dropped him.

And now LA Times is writing an article talking about how spotify and apple music have to pull his music and they're arguing for more censorship more canceling here yeah la times has an article that's titled why spotify and apple music haven't pulled kanye west's songs and in that article they make an argument saying if we're going to cancel somebody we're going to make sure we're going to fully cancel this person and you're seeing someone being depersoned in real time whether you agree with him or disagree with him i think there is something to say about something that is happening to kanye west right now that has happened to other people like alex jones and of course andrew tate as well so look at this don't does kanye's company and

jaylen brown and aaron donald cut ties with don That's what it is. And they got rid of the Donda Academy basketball team. It was removed from a tournament. Okay, what were you saying? No, it was just LA Times. Here's the story. Was Spotify and Apple Music haven't pulled Kanye West's songs? This is the crazy thing about censorship. When Alex Jones got censored, they didn't shut down his ability to speak.

They deleted everything he had ever said on the platform, on all these there's no record of it anymore that's crazy that's like you know that photo what is it photo of stalin and there's that dude next to him and then they got mad at the dudes the dude's gone from the photo you guys know they depersoned him yeah you guys you know what i'm talking about you never saw that it's like a famous photograph where it's like him with this guy and then all of a sudden the guy's gone him out wow yeah yeah back in the day before photoshop it's not even one there's like numerous people that he just you know deep person they got kanye man yeah because he said oh now they're gonna get mad at me for saying they know the the the establishment the corporate press i don't think here's the funny thing about what kanye said right so he criticized the jewish mafia i think kanye west is clearly

wrong about that i think he's putting, needlessly putting like ethnicity and race in front of what's clearly corporate interests that are aligned against him. But this is exactly what conspiracy theorists and anti-Semitic individuals expected to see. And they got it. I got a question. Do any of you guys, are any of you guys Jewish or do you know a lot about Jewish, Judaism in general? I'm not. I talked with Michael Malice about it. He's Jewish and was telling me that there's like a tenet of Judaism.

And correct me if I'm wrong, anybody in the chat. I want to get this as clear as possible. But that part of the Jewish faith is that God commands people to maybe not enjoy life on earth, but take advantage of life on earth. This is basically your opportunity. And if you don't take advantage of it, then you're basically committing a sin against God. So Jewish people believe that this is theirs to mold and craft and utilize.

But then what happens is when that gets out of control, it can be perceived as greed. And that's completely antithetical to Christianity, which is charity. Greed is a sin in the Christian faith. So I think when people get greedy, that's really the problem. And when Kanye is complaining about people, he's complaining about greedy people. Whether or not they're Jewish, I don't think is relevant. But it is interesting to point out these tenets of the Jewish faith. And I'd love to have Jewish scholars in

here to talk more about it. I found it interesting that they're not canceling his music, right? I mean, it's a different situation when, okay, you have a brand, you have sneakers or whatever it is that he's going to be associated with, but with the music, it's just him. And so how much of the money that he's worth comes from his music? How much does he generate for iTunes, for Spotify? Obviously, it would be hugely concerning if we start saying, we're not going to platform your music because of something that you said outside of your music, or even in your music. But if that's the next shoe to drop, I mean, that's going to be a

problematic thing for everybody. When you're talking about censoring things like music on platforms, what happens after that? So do you guys see when, remember when they banned Farrakhan? I think Facebook banned him. Basically what happened is after Alex Jones gets banned, platforms what happens after that so do you guys see when uh remember when they banned farrakhan i think facebook banned him basically what happened is after alex jones gets banned people start pointing out that uh farrakhan i don't know if for everybody people aren't familiar it's the um what's the organization called uh it's the he not hebrew israeli no no the muslim brotherhood no it's not the mus Brotherhood. Nation of Islam? Nation of Islam. There you go.

That's what it was. Yeah, so Farrakhan is deeply anti-Semitic. There's tons of people in the rap and hip-hop community and many people in the black community who follow this. He gets banned and Snoop Dogg put out a video saying, how the F are you going to ban Minister Farrakhan? How dare you? And stuff like that. And it's fascinating because it's like,

you do realize what that means these people believe, right? They're just not saying it. So what happens is people get surprised Kanye West comes out and says this stuff. I wasn't. I was on the ground in Baltimore during the riots. It was, I can't remember who the riots were for. And there were a bunch of young black kids who were very, very talking about, they're talking about Farrakhan, they're talking about Islam, Allah, and they were saying anti-Semitic things. And that was the first time I ever experienced it. I didn't know, I was like, what is this? Like, they're Islam, or what's going on? And they both started talking to me about, you do realize, like, Farrakhan's

been around for a really long time. And then I was like, oh, wow. I only remember from the rap lyrics in Tony Hawk 2, was it the Public Enemy song? You know, turned it up, Bring the Noise, that's what it's called. Bring the Noise, yeah. When, what's the rapper? Chucky D says,

Farrakhan's a prophet I think you ought to listen to in the lyrics. And so I didn't really know a whole lot about it. Then I see these viral videos and I was like, that's what these people believe?

Holy crap. So they banned the guy because people started campaigning saying, how are you going to ban these people but not him? Then a bunch of rappers, prominent celebrities,

people like Snoop Dogg came out. Kanye West comes out and says, I'm going to say what i feel like saying then he says some anti-semitic bs and people are surprised dude there's a ton of rappers and celebrities who believe exactly what kanye is saying so i don't know i don't know how you deal with it or or i'm just i'm just pointing that out you want to talk about banning his music which is unrelated to his politics because he admitted to what he believes. Think about people like Snoop Dogg and all those other people who support Farrakhan. Yeah. Another issue with Judaism and Islam I've been thinking about is whereas Judaism has this tentative, like take advantage of earth, utilize its goods and it's gracious. Uh, Islam is like, do not be decadent. Decadence is the bane of our, if you

are decadent, you are sinning against God. So whereas the Judeo Jewish faith is kind of like, do not be decadent. Decadence is the bane of our, if you are decadent, you are sinning against God. So whereas the Jewish faith is kind of like, maybe opulence, maybe not the right word, but they're willing to have a lot of things and stuff and good things around you. Islam's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You do not want to show if your brother is decadent, he's a stain on the family. So I think that's part of why those two religions have been at odds for so long i think just coming into my mind the other day yeah well you start you start banning music from today's era what do you do from 150 years ago right that's a good point

classical classical musicians uh the baroque era what were all their beliefs let's let's get their beliefs and let's cancel them off of you know wherever you get your classical music from it's a slippery slope that's so it's so weird good point yeah this is just it it's it shouldn't be breaking down shouldn't be centralized yeah we can't we need like decentralized music service like itunes should be a decentralized service in the commons where everybody can host their stuff and and be utilized well you know you know at, at the other side of this, private businesses get to choose who they want to work with. If they don't want to work with this person, they don't have to.

But there also is a very coordinated, organized push to punish people for expressing ideas that they don't like. Of course, ideas always should be debated, always should be contested. I'm all for debate, but some people are saying, Kanye is going way too far. It's too sensationalistic. And there's a big firestorm happening here. There's a lot of media

organizations saying, cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel. And a lot of corporations saying, okay, yeah, gladly, we'll do it. And they are. So whether you think it's right or wrong, that's up to you based on your individual premise. And all this is going to do is make him, he's going to double down. He comes out and says he's being attacked

by a particular group. Then all of a sudden, everybody cancels and bans him. What do you think he's thinking right now? Kanye's probably being like, see, see? And it's like, dude. Yes.

It's just so insane, man. Yeah. I'm surprised he wasn't able to sit down with the Daily Wire crew. Apparently, that's not going to happen or whatever. Yeah, he said they didn't want him on. He said that on the lex freeman interview he said it and then lex was like wait they didn't want you on and he was like yes they said they didn't want me on that's crazy i mean i get it you have to imagine ben shapiro's like dude not cool i mean it's like

you know ben's jewish but i do think communication is the solution i have i mean unless they're gonna try and i want to see a Kanye-Ben Shapiro debate. It would be entertaining. It would be crazy, but it would be a clash of different ideas. And as you mentioned, Tim, you know, a lot of people have those kind of different ideas. But at the same time, what better way to deal with it? What better way to get rid of a lot of this animosity, a lot of this hatred, than to be able to just talk things out and be able to, of course,

pin ideas against ideas, let the best ideas win. And I think that would be something interesting. It might go haywire, it might go bad, but I think that's the consequences we face in our modern day society. And that's better than just shunning someone and saying, hey, now we're going to make sure you double down on your beliefs instead of talking you down from the beliefs that we think are wrong. Yeah, I'm going to have to hit up the Daily Wire crew and ask them why that's the case, because that doesn't seem right. Sure, good clarification.

Yeah, because the Daily Wire, they like poking the bear. And especially with Ben being Jewish and Ben being reasonable, I'd imagine Ben would actually have a conversation with Kanye. Ben debates people. He stands in front of people. So it seemed weird to me that the Daily Wire wouldn't bring him on. You think they'd be the first place to be like, OK, Kanye, like, come here and tell us why, because we're going to tell you why you're wrong. But to just be like, no, we won't have him seems strange to me. I don't know, man. Yeah, the point you brought up, you know, I agree, right? But you businesses can make their choices on who they associate based on, you know, what they want for their business model.

But marketplace of ideas. I don't remember what Supreme Court justice said it back in the 30s, or maybe it was Holmes or Brandeis. But the remedy for bad speech is good speech. Exactly. Right. So, you know. Absolutely.

100%. And we need to prioritize that more than ever. No matter who it is, if you disagree with, again, censorship only fosters those bad ideas and makes people double down on them. And when you censor people, when you silence people, you only make sure that they go off to the far ends of the internet, where those ideas are even radicalized even more than they originally radicalized. This is why I have a lot of prospects and a lot of optimism, specifically when it comes to Elon Musk purchasing Twitter, as I think it's going to help society by and large a lot.

I agree. So let's jump to this story first before we get to the Elon Musk stuff. We have this from Grit Daily. I'm not familiar with Grit Daily, and I think they're wrong on this story. Here's what they said. Following PR crisis, PayPal again updates TOS, hoping you won't notice. They say as far as PR crises go, PayPal has gotten itself into quite a predicament. On October 8th, the company updated its terms of service to include a clause enabling it to withdraw $2,500 from users' bank accounts simply for posting anything the company deems as misinformation or offensive. Unsurprisingly, the backlash was instant and massive. Who would have guessed that the consumers don't want a company to police their

speech and threaten to drain their bank accounts? Aside from the fact the clause is a fool's errand because there's literally no way for the company to legitimately determine what is or isn't misinformation. Okay, full stop, guys. They would, it actually said at their discretion. So he goes on to say, it's another case of big tech overreach. So a lot of people are pointing it out, but let me do this. Here's PayPal's actual user agreement.

It says, this is current, right now, I just Googled it. If you are a current seller and receive funds for transactions that violate the acceptable use policy, then in addition to being subject to the above actions, you will be liable to PayPal for the amount of PayPal's damages caused by your violations of the acceptable use policy. You acknowledge and agree that $2,500 per violation of the AUP is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal's actual damages, including but not limited to internal administrative costs incurred, blah, blah, blah. So there it is. They're not saying right now they are going to deduct it from your account.

But it is there. And right now, so this is an archive from two years ago, which basically says the exact same thing. You acknowledge in a degree that $2,500 per violation is reasonable minimum estimate. Here's what they determine currently to be unacceptable. The promotion of hate, violence, racial, other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory or the financial exploitation of a crime. So, of course, that's at their discretion. So let me just stress right now. And, you know, admittedly,

this is at risk to us. We still have many members of our website, TimCast.com, who are using PayPal. If that's you, I recommend you sign up using Parallel Economy. Send an email to members at timcast.com. We will do our best to help you get switched over. It's not super easy, but we used to use PayPal. We removed it from the website, but there are still many people who still do use it. It's still there. If you are using PayPal, you need to find an alternative. I recommend Parallel Economy. That's Dan Bongino's company. They got a lot of work to do to get set up. It's not as easy with, you know, PayPal, you click, you open account, it's done. That's why they dominate. But we've got to get away from this stuff because right now they said it right there.

You agree that $2,500 is reasonable damages if you espouse discriminatory speech, what does that mean? Does that mean if I say something like, um, on average, I would prefer a male firefighter to save me over a female one. Look, like I'm not, I'm not going to play games. I think there there's a, there's, it doesn't matter if you're a male or a female, if you want to be a firefighter, but on average, based on muscle mass, bone density, and height, it's probably going to be you preferring a male. What I mean by that is, there are six foot tall women who are super strong. I'll tell you this.

I would rather see a six foot tall woman than a five foot tall man if I was trapped in a burning building and needed help. However, typically, you're going to see the height skew. Men are going to be taller and more muscle mass. If I say that, was PayPal going to boot us from our website? Are they going to kick off our customers? Are they going to charge me now $2500 bucks per customer what is a stupid game well it's per violation and they're saying that if you that one of the things they're saying is

that if you incur damage to paypal's brand so if i tell people to cancel their paypal account i'm technically they could say hey every every time that that was uttered every play that video had if i have 10,000 views every every one of those views counts towards an instance of the violation of denouncing our brand. Like, I'm canceling my PayPal account tonight. I've been using it for 20 years. I'm done with it. And I want to stress, it does say PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing balance in any PayPal account you control. So let me stress right now at PayPal.com, they say they may deduct at minimum $2,500 if you engage in a variety of activities, including

discriminatory speech, promotion of hate. Yeah. Now who gets to decide what is discriminatory speech? Who gets to decide what is quote quote, hate? Why are these rules so general, vague, and to the point where it could be interpreted in so many different ways? They do that because, again, this is akin to a social credit score. They know PayPal is one of the biggest online banking institutions on the entire internet. And right now, they're saying, we can do whatever we want. We want to steal money from you. We will, which is absolutely crazy. Will they fine me for having a PayPal account right now? Maybe, who knows?

That's how vague these rules are. And again, PayPal has been becoming more of an activist organization. More and more, they work with the SPLC, a discredited organization that has been successfully sued before for defaming people, for lying about people. They actually moved out of north carolina because north

carolina decided to have a policy where they said biological sex individuals people have to use bathrooms based on their biological sex so they're acting more and more like an organization that wants to of course play political games and push their political ideas rather than of course just be a bank just be a bank bank for frick's sakes. It's not that hard. I just want to point out it's funny that this policy has been in place for years and no one knew. But it's like nobody actually read the terms of incondition.

It was kind of like when Zuckerberg went on Rogan and was like, yeah, the FBI asked us to censor. And no one really, like it was obvious. We all kind of knew that for the last few years since he testified. But it was like, I think Mines tweeted out, Bill Altman tweeted it testified but it was like i think mines tweeted out bill ottman tweeted it out it was like yo everyone focus on this because that's crazy well everyone focus on this paypal clause can they did they say they can also take 2500 out of your bank account out of your paypal account it also says items that are considered obscene obscene by who yeah really like like i'm not even talking about sexual toys the other layer here is

is not just all right what are what are they going to punish here discriminatory speech hate speech but damage to their brand which they're saying well we can't really tell you what the damage to our brand is so we're going to put in this little liquidated damages clause for 2500 so not only determining what's hate speech, what's discriminatory, but also what's damaging to their brand, which none of it's going to be damaging to their brand, but they put that in there as just another layer for them to enforce it and saying, well, this is why we need to do it. These rules are damaging to their brand. It also says, Luke, you might want to earmuffs this one. It says content that relates to

transactions involving ammunition firearms or certain firearm parts or accessories blasphemy absolutely horrible i mean that that right there just shows you how much of a political organization that they are how they're just playing again social justice warrior politics that they're trying to push for the forefront in reality people just want to bank people just want to bank. People just want to use finance. People just want to be able to trade and barter and of course make money and sell money and sell products. Why are we having to deal with all this nonsense? Why are they putting these rules into place?

That's a question that I think a lot of PayPal users should be asking themselves today. I used to feel like I needed a PayPal account because paying online was really a hassle. I'd have to put in my bank card. I'd have to put in this. Now that data is saved for me. I don't need to go through.

It's like, do I want to pay with my card that's saved in Steam, or do I want to pay with PayPal? It's like 50-50 coin toss. I don't need PayPal. I don't need it for anything at the moment. Nothing. And then they have things like Stripe, which are doing the exact same function. Newer.

Better. Privately owned. That's why we use Stripe. We default Parallel Economy. So if you want to become a member at TimCast.com, using Parallel Economy supports the company,

which is Dan Bongino's company. We use Rumble Infrastructure for everything, and you support us directly. I'm very excited about Parallel Economy. I got a question. I see a copy of Gender Queer there. Does that mean that somebody

would violate PayPal's rules if they sell that book or promote that book online? Well, it's only determined by the people that are running PayPal, unfortunately. Technically, yes, but it does say sexually oriented materials or services. Well, it says certain, but it's obscene. A lot of people consider that obscene. So if they use PayPal to transact for that. Wait, can't you use PayPal for Amazon or no? Can you? I think so. Yeah, I think you can. Oh, we got a problem here, PayPal.

Let me check. Amazon is outright violating your policies because Amazon sells a whole lot. I haven't used it in a while. I'm going to do it right now and see if I can pull up a PayPal. Cool. Man, I've had PayPal for 20 years. Why are these companies getting political? PayPal's always been bad.

Well, Elon started the thing. Elon and what's his name? Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel. That's how they exploded onto the scene. Well, that's how they got a lot of their original money. Can you buy using PayPal, Ian, on Amazon? You've got to be able to, right?

I don't think so. I don't know. I'm not sure. there's also a lot of gun accessories on amazon as well that are available to purchase um but but i think a lot of this correlates with the esg score it could be people at paypal being like hey we want more investment money hey we want more federal reserve blackrock money hey how do we do that let's just do exactly what they want us to do and implement the esg social credit score system where of course we comply we push all the woke nonsense we push

all the politicking onto the individuals and we make sure that of course we play along with the game that the globalists and other centralized bankers want us to play i do not see uh paypal on amazon to be honest i oh okay maybe not yeah do not see PayPal on Amazon, to be honest. Oh, okay, maybe not. Yeah, maybe not. Maybe not, because otherwise they'd be violating their own policies. But let's talk about the solutions, man. Solutions, baby.

Let's take a look at this story here. From TimCast.com, Elon Musk tweets video entering Twitter headquarters, updates bio to chief twit as deal nears closing. This is huge. Let's see if i can uh you can't really see the video it's very small but it's just uh elon musk laughing as he carries a sink into twitter and he says entering twitter hq let that sink in now i get it wow he's the cheesiest dad jokes man but he earned it what's he's not throwing the kitchen sink at it this is about let it sink in this is all for that all for the joke

i guess is he gonna wash the wash the dishes is he gonna clean the place up i mean is it all these he's gonna fire 75 of the staff did you see the demands they sent a demand they're ludicrous but they was like they weren't asking him to do stuff. They were just demanding that he does stuff. They were like, don't fire us. Let us work from home, I think was another one. Don't be racist was one of them. Don't stop us from working from home. Don't be politically biased. That was my favorite one.

Oh, wow. See, that's exactly what it is. Colin Wright tweeted this. He was like, it's going to be funny when all the woke left flip and now demand the government intervene to stop private companies from setting their own rules demand preservance of benefits um demand leadership ensure fair severance for all workers uh demand transparent prompt thoughtful communication around the working conditions some of these you would think he's going to do anyway but as soon as you

start demanding of your owner like what you should probably ask he should turn off twitter from like i don't i don't know what like five to seven every night he just just turns it off and it's like everybody you have to watch something else you can't use twitter i'm gonna read a book go read a book yeah he turns it off for two hours calm down everybody go and then everyone just starts like shaking and they're getting ah no if he did that they just go to instagram or something oh they demand that he preserves the current headcount they demand that he doesn't fire them what in the heck kind of you know i'm really jealous of elon musk you know why because he gets to fire these people like just imagine how much fun that would be no no for everybody doesn't imagine you're elon you walk into twitter hq and you get to walk

through the whole building you can you're a billionaire so you into Twitter HQ and you get to walk through the whole building you're a billionaire so you can fly in a private jet to any one of your satellite offices and you get to walk through and just look someone right in the eye and go, you get out. That's lucky. These people making the demands, I mean what were their home lives like when they

were kids? Were they making demands of their parents? Were their parents just fully saying, sure, probably yeah, we see lots of parents doing that snow snowplow parenting when the parents bulldoze everything out of the path of the kid so these these kids grew up with no obstacles and they expect to be handed everything that's why they're confused the government isn't just giving them free food it's why they say things like there's more empty houses than homeless people so let's just put them in the empty houses. And then you're like,

do you know what one plus one equals? You put a mentally ill person in a house, how long until the house burns down, falls apart, who's supporting, who's sustaining, who's paying taxes, who's funding it, who's going to cover the cost of the fire department. These people don't think these things through. And it's because their parents walk them through everything without

giving them any obstacles. And participation trophies everywhere they go. One of the things Elon's talked about is not letting people remote into work as much. And I worked social media and I found like that was the best part of the job was being able to work from home on my own time limit. And we didn't have to be in the office together. So it was like, and then we actually, we got an office in Brooklyn and it was just an expenditure we didn't need it we found out after a year we're like why do we even have this thing we don't need it so I I don't know I hope that he's open to letting people work remote but he thinks that I think what

he said is that unless if the people aren't there to have oversight over that they don't work properly and that might be a good argument why why let people work remote I mean I understand there's some circumstances where it's probably fine but most people probably shouldn't. Commuting is lengthy. It's time consuming and expensive. Too bad. And so is having an office if you don't need one.

If you don't want to be here, you probably shouldn't be. That's what I always say. So, you know, if there's somebody who's like, man, I want to work at the company, but I'd rather not be there. I'll be like, well, then you're not going to work here. I don't get it. Like you want people who are passionate about the project they're working on. Like, oh, yeah, for sure. So right now you have millennials and Gen Z quiet quitting.

Have you guys heard of this? Yeah. Yeah, they're basically like, it's a combination of ideas. One way I've heard it described when they're trying to make it, you know, politically correct is it's not not working. It's just doing exactly what you're asked. And it's like, OK, well, that's nothing. That's called doing your job.

What we're saying is don't go above and beyond. It's like, OK, yeah, well, no one's making you do that. Some might ask you, but if you don't want to, fine. But typically, quiet quitting was referring to people who are quitting working without saying anything to keep getting paid as long as possible until they got fired. That's the mentality of these people. So that's what's happening right now at twitter a good majority of people who work there probably do not do work wasn't that the veritas thing that that audio or someone's like

i work four hours a week this is going to be very exciting i'm i'm i'm optimistic about this i'm skeptical because the man still wants to sell robots and put brain chips inside of your your skull but at the same time he did tweet today that he's, quote, a big fan of citizen journalism. He also tweeted how citizen journalism is dismantling the establishment bias and then went on a tirade and went as far as to even call the New York Times a, quote, chaotic actor causing problems in our society. So he didn't say that exactly. He said that, you know, just in the general sense of what he was saying here. So I'm excited for what he's going to be doing. I'm excited for the opportunities that are going to be presented because he's essentially promising free speech. He's essentially saying, hey, the establishment has gotten it wrong.

A lot of people have been censored before. We need free speech more than ever. I'm willing to put billions of dollars into this. What's going to be the result of this? speech more than ever. I'm willing to put billions of dollars into this. What's going to be the result of this? I don't know. I hope it's going to at least help mend a lot of the bigger problems in our society because I think it can because the larger divide and conquer agenda that has been pushed on everyone, the larger disinformation, the larger censorship efforts have been causing a net negative towards our society. You could solve all of that just by allowing people to talk freely. And with him already cheering on citizen journalism, independent journalism, trying to, of course, promote people who are trying to hold big powers accountable,

highlights how this could potentially be something that could be amazing and world's changing. Yeah, I think that one of the things that will happen is that Twitter, Parler, when Kanye buys Parler and Mines with Bill Altman's Mines are going to federate and interoperate, start to interoperate along with Rumble, Chris Pavlovsky's Rumble, which is already working with Starlink to interlink their servers and Starlink's networking capabilities to get global internet and actually solar internet. Like we're going to have a planet to planet. We're going to have interplanetary internet. And you'll have all these networks start to be able to inter global internet. And actually, solar internet. We're going to have it planet to planet. We're going to have interplanetary internet.

And you'll have all these networks start to be able to interoperate. Jack Dorsey wants Twitter to be a protocol. Meaning that you're unbannable, it's decentralized, everybody can post, no one has control over what you say. And the only thing that can happen

is if it's illegal, then the police can deal with it. If Elon Musk does implement that, we know that Jack Dorsey was talking with him behind the scenes before he decided to buy this. Then there's a strong possibility Elon does move towards making it a protocol. It does then merge, in a sense, with minds as a node or with rumble, gab, parlor, truth social even. And then the way it would work is, and this is the way it absolutely should be, you have a Twitter account.

It's Twitter servers. So they could ban you on their server. But if you turn it into a protocol, your username goes onto whichever server you want it to be on. So if you're using Gab's servers, you know they're not going to ban you unless you dock someone or violate

or break the law. So you're like, I'd rather be hosted there. But I'm on Twitter. I can follow ianatg gab.com and then i get ian's tweets on twitter even though he's posting on gab and twitter has no say in it it's almost like reverse rss i suppose it could be that's the way it should be he's also talking about uh allowing end-to-end encryption when it comes to private messages and as a independent content creator as as a independent journalist i'm going to pretty much go all in. I'm going to

invest my time. And I think this is going to also move the market in a way that I think is worth talking about. Because if you have a platform providing free speech, providing something that all the other big tech social media platforms aren't providing, he's going to push the needle. He's going to be very competitive in the market because now Facebook, Instagram, all these other large corporations, Google, YouTube, we're going to be looking at him like, hey, we can't hide the cat in the bag anymore. Hey, these ideas are still being expressed. They're not being censored here. The more we censor them, the more obvious it becomes because now on Twitter, we have a platform that of course is allowing the truth to actually get out there,

allowing real conversations to get out there, allowing real conversations to get out there without an algorithm, without bannings, without censorship, without restrictions on speech. This is going to, I think, in my opinion, if this is done as Elon Musk says he wants it to be done, shift the market in a net positive when it comes to overall freedoms and speech. I got to throw this out there because I would be, I have to. Elon Musk, Joe Rogan,

me, let's talk about Twitter's rules, censorship. It'll be the Twitter, the Twitter Rogan episode 2.0. Obviously, you know, I'd love to make that happen

because I'm the lowest on the totem pole of them. Elon, of course, the richest guy on the planet. Joe Rogan, the biggest podcast on the planet and then the little old me. So I'll say, hey, come on, guys. Let's get a show going. I'd imagine they probably care very little, but I do think it would be really epic

to sit down and discuss Twitter's internal policies, plans, bias, censorship. Imagine this. If you guys watched when I was on Joe Rogan, this was back in like 2019 with Jack Goddard and Jack Dorsey, and everything I said and everything they said, give Elon Musk a month or two of actually going through the internals then sitting back down and saying, okay, Elon, which of what they said was true and which of what

they said was a lie. And then have Elon just be like, oh, they said this, that was a lie. They said this, that was a lie. And then to go through policy, procedure, philosophy, ideology, it would be incredible. But we're also going to find out what was, I think this is a big possibility, finding out how else was Twitter manipulated.

We're going to find out about the bots. We're going to find out what they were doing. We're going to find out about their algorithm. We're going to see what an uncontrolled social media platform is unless the FBI, DOJ,j and u.s intelligence agencies come to elon musk and kind of proverbially put the gun to him and say hey you're gonna do what we want you to do look at this drew hernandez says apparently leftists are fleeing to this new twitter alternative called tribal social network wow dude they've posted that they don't

censor they just have an algorithm that bans bigotry it's like okay dude like go for i don't censor. They just have an algorithm that bans bigotry. It's like, okay, dude, like, go for it. I don't care. I hate Twitter residents. So you could say 2 plus 2 equals 5. That's right. All right. I don't know. This looks entertaining for me. I wanted to piggyback off of your idea from earlier, Tim, about being able to log into your Twitter account and follow me on Mines, for instance, and I think it'll even be better than that in that

you'll be able to log. Basically, your account will be your wallet. It'll be like your crypto crypto wallet like a metamask account or something like that and you'll log into social networks with your wallet and that will also help you bypass things like paypal or your bank like a banks and things like that these these weird like top-down authority figures trying to eyeball your accounts um and it'll it'll it'll create kind of a parallel economy, so to speak. A parallel culture? Yeah, for sure. It's like the fist coming, breaking out of the ground of dirt, you know?

It's awesome. I'm down. All right, let's talk politics, man. Let's get into it, because last night we sat here begrudgingly listening to John Fetterman fail to speak. Terrible. It was horrifying. It was horrifying.

And now we have this from TimCast.com. Supporters double down on Fetterman. Accuse critics of ableism and bullying. Did you guys see the view clips? When they were like, I thought the Hippocratic Oath was do no harm. Dr. Oz was bullying Fetterman. Bullying? He was having a debate.

It's a political debate. He's supposed to be like, you're wrong, John. At any point, did dr oz say fetterman has brain damage no what are they talking about these people have lost the plot they're willing to they're willing to put in a guy who clearly his brain does not work welcome to modern politics i suppose they hate you so much they and i mean it's i'm not trying to there's not an emotional dig or anything it It's factual. They hate Republicans. They hate Trump.

They hate MAGA to the degree that they would vote for someone like John Fetterman. Did you watch the debate? Oh, I absolutely watched the debate. It was tough to watch. Yeah. I mean, you know, we're talking about somebody that's going to be one of 100 senators in the United States Senate potentially that said he's going to vote, you know, to break the filibuster, to end the legislative filibuster. And this is someone who cannot answer a question on his point of view for fracking and explain, were you lying then? Are you lying now? Or did

your position evolve? We got no answer. I mean, we got a long pause, no answer. And for people to say, oh, it's ableism. I mean, the same people that said, you know, when Mike Pence was debating Kamala Harris, you know, if he challenged her on something, well, then that was mansplaining, right? It's the same thing if you're a conservative and you actually argue your points and they can somehow, you know, turn it into, well, we really can't argue with what you said or that argument isn't really going to work. So we're going to, you know, say you're mansplaining, you're an ableist, you're racist, you're insurrectionist, whatever.

I mean, just pick from the cookie jar of things to throw out there. What is ableism? It's discrimination against someone who is differently abled. I'm going to make an ableist t-shirt out of all these discussions about ableist. Two plus two equals five, you ableist. I'm going to make an able full shirt that only has one or no sleeves. Well, as I understand ableism, it's... I wasn't supposed to be a joke.

I'm like, are there people who have one arm? Do they wear shirts with an empty sleeve? Are there shirts that just don't have one? I mean, that'd be cool, right? It would be cool, actually. Yeah, able, not ableist what's i guess that yeah that's the thing they're still able those people are still able the whole disabled like yeah things might be more challenging but you're still able right you still got your abilities but that's the pc idea the disabled just referred to someone who has a disability they used to call them cripple i

mean the word called invalids yeah the words have evolved over the years. George Carlin nailed it. You guys ever see that bit where he's like, post-traumatic stress disorder. We used to call it shell shock. But then the words keep getting more and more verbose. The phrases get longer and longer. I think he mentions invalid. But then people are like, no, no, no, you can't say that.

That means invalid. We can't say that. So then they create new words like retarded but then apparently those become offensive and now there's disabled meaning you have a disability it just meant like you didn't have your your hand was injured your foot was injured your eye your ear because on average a person has two eyes two ears two arms two feet, two feet, two legs, etc. And now that's offensive. So now it's, you're not disabled. You're just differently abled. That's not true, man. Come on. This PC is so dumb. If

the average person has two hands and then someone loses a hand, that's not differently abled. It's disabled. I got no, what's the deal? I guess if someone's born with three hands, they're more abled? Whatever. It just depends on how society's geared to function. Because if you have like 27 hands, that's a form of a disability because it'd be hard to navigate.

Well, the PC progression language. You could climb trees and stuff. You nailed it, right? So I remember 20 years ago, I'm law school, reading a case, Oliver Wendell Holmes. He's going through the categories of mentally disabled people at the time, at the time, which is, you know, the early 1900s. And you had moron, idiot, and imbecile. And those were the three different categories. But then they became associated with, you know, you can't use those anymore.

So then they came up with the term mentally retarded, right? That eventually, now you can't use that. So we move on to something else. And then whatever we're on now, you're not, yeah, you're not going to be able to use that in 20 years that's gonna be over you know that's gonna be over too so we'll find out a new term well well well so neurodivergent is what they use for mental ailments yeah but the problem with that is divergent implies not normal so you can't say that right i'm i'm i'm i'm setting it early let's make neurodivergent extremely offensive because it implies there are people who are not normal. You're not divergent.

You are the way God created you, right? There's no word you can use for anything where you cannot find something offensive. Right, exactly. If you're one of those people that are perpetually offended, you're going to get offended by every word that is either in the dictionary now or will be in the next millennia. My favorite was Wemixin and women. Do you know about the Wemixin thing? No. So it's woman, but instead of E-N, it's X-N.

And they said the X means it's inclusive of all women. And then people were like, what do you mean inclusive of all women? Women are women. And they were like, oh, but like Wemixin means, you know, like women of color and trans women. And then other leftists were like, are you saying that they aren't women and don't just fall into the word woman and then fighting broke out one organization said not using the x was offensive the other said using it was offensive then somebody used an i then somebody used a y and then here we are got no idea this is look this is idle hands the devil's playground these people

have nothing to do with their lives they have have no skills, no talents, no passions. So they make up fake garbage to fight for because they have nothing else. They have no great war. They have no great challenge. That's it. Many of them don't have kids. If they had kids, they'd be too busy to be doing these things. They need a boogeyman.

If they don't have a boogeyman, they have no one to fight. And since, you know, there's a more demand for sexism, racism, than there actually is supply of it. And I think that's very clear, especially with this latest kind of bastardization of our language, especially when you see just how newspeak it is, how Orwellian it is exactly almost from 1984. But back on the Fetterman kind of topic. Did you see this real quick? No, I didn't. That Fetterman blamed the captioning device?

Oh, wow. Okay, I'm just going to say it because I've been saying this. The captioning device isn't going to work. The technology is not that advanced. It is hard for computers to transcribe voice to text well. So I knew this was going to happen. They're blaming it. Nexstar came back out and said, hey,, we gave you the special technology you asked for.

I'm going to put it this way. Fetterman's campaign said the captions were filled with errors. Right there, filled with errors. Okay, you should not be in that job because there's no technology better than the live news captioning system. It's like having someone's blurry vision be a fighter pilot. You wouldn't do it. What was very interesting is seeing Fetterman raise almost a million dollars from his performance last night i actually watched philip defranco and he talked about this he admitted hey he didn't do that well but he really wants him to win that's

what he said in this process defranco said that what is wrong with these people and then defranco and hassan both today we're talking about how horrible dr o Oz is because Dr. Oz didn't allow journalists to actually record the screen that actually projected the words on there. And they weren't able to fact check exactly what was on there. And it's Dr. Oz that's responsible. Why is he responsible? That's what they're pointing the finger at him because he denied Fetterman to have journalists looking at the screen to fact check that it was accurate. That's the argument that they're making. People forget how cutthroat things are in the world sometimes.

I don't know. What about like playing softball for global political dominance is not a victory strategy. This look, I've been you guys ready. You got your shot glasses ready. This is why I've been talking about Civil War for so long. A sane, rational human being is looking at the facts and saying, please, I want to be correct. You know, what do I, if I make a mistake, let me know. These people don't do that.

For Phil DeFranco to come out, I'm sorry, Phil, not just you, but for anyone to come out and be like, Fetterman, actually, it wasn't that bad, you know. There's like Slate wrote, actually, Fetterman did pretty well. The Philly Inquirer saying he did great. Like, yo, any sane human watched that and went, wow. Yeah, forget that he had a stroke. Just watch it without the idea that he had a stroke. DeFranco brought up that he didn't do that well. But he still, out of that performance, came out on his show and said, I really hope Fetterman wins.

That's my point. They hate you so much. Facts be damned. They would put a man who can't understand words, can't speak, and would blame his assisted listening device. Bro, if you – they're tweeting out, as a senator, all you got to do is say yay or nay so a fireman can do the job. That is not the job of a senator. You have to represent the state to the federal government. They are gutting and burning the system to the ground. So I do not see a scenario where we move forward as a country when you have these psychopaths saying, you know what, I don't want to be on the outside and I assume this is the inside. So I'm not backing away from this. We're coming to a point where it's going to be clear as

day with with all the polling, with all the projections. Let's assume they're right. Maybe they're not. Maybe maybe Democrats really are going to win. I have no idea if Republicans do win, if and it's a landslide and we see more of Democrats agreeing with Republicans and independents. These people still will not back down because they are in a circular firing squad, as Obama calls it. Phil DeFranco will never admit Fetterman should not be in office. And Dr. Oz is tepid at the very least. He's middle of the road celebrity doctor. Is that the worst you could do? No, there's worse. But he would rather say Fetterman because he knows he's got leftist activists with their

finger on the flag button who are going to ban him on social media unless he says what they demand he say. I got to bring it back to John Fetterman because, John, you got to, first of all, man, heal. Heal up. Your family needs you. Your wife, your kids, they need you, man. And, you know, do your best.

And if that means that you need to heal for three years, do it. But like, it's important to keep the compassion for john alive we want him to i want him to be healthy but i also we're voting for a senator right now so let's put all our cards on the table forget about the past look at that debate as is without knowing any prior he has this past she has this he has this injury like federman was stuttering and bumbling and vacant for much of it i don't want a senator that's stumbling bumbling and vacant and much of it. I don't want a senator that's stumbling, bumbling and vacant. And at one point the moderator did say Oz, question, question, question, but it was actually meant for John Fetterman.

And there's a long pause and John was like, oh, oh. So that's on the moderator. There's one instance where she said Oz and then asked Fetterman the question. And John was really confused. It's about two thirds of the way through the interview. And maybe that's why he froze up because he's reading there is one instance but he froze up on other ones too where she directly there was a seven second break in one question where he just freezes like

and you can actually count and i i went on the time stamp it's the one where he goes oh and then answers it that's the one where she says oz first let's let me let me jump to this projection because uh here it is right here from Real Clear Politics. Battle for the Senate. Real Clear Politics has Republicans winning 53 seats, Democrats 47. Pennsylvania, they are saying Oz is going to win. And no question. They're saying no question. They're also saying Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.

There you go. Well, you know, what's interesting about that 53 number is it's bad for Democrats, obviously, in 2022, but it's awful for Democrats in 2024 because that map is very disadvantageous for Democrats in 2024. I mean, you look at places like New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Montana, Georgia, Georgia. I don't know if Georgia is up in 2024, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, all those states. They're gonna lose more seats in two years. They put up Fetterman, he's gonna be the guy that breaks the filibuster. Republicans are gonna need a filibuster after 2024

if things break their way in these next two election cycles. Now they may not, but this is what happens. I got it. I really do think there are two things you can say to somebody. Let's aim in 2024 is i don't know if it's possible do you know do you know how many senate seats are up in 2024 it's got to be third

it's a third a third okay so is it so it's possible that we could see 60 republican seats we need what like 63 or something let's get let's get 66 republican seats in the senate and then just you know run roughshod just just pass all the bills ban all the Senate and then just, you know, run roughshod, just just pass all the bills, ban all the garbage. And I think maybe if you go to people right now and say gas prices, that's number one. But the other thing is, while you're talking to people and you go like gas prices are really, really hurting you. Right. Let me show you this. You know, I got this thing here about gas prices and like, oops, I accidentally press plan this video of Biden supporting sex changes for children.

I think those two issues are going to make people jump ship because when CBS did their panel with a Democrat, Republican and independent, what did the Democrat woman say? I've got a bunch of kids and what's happening in these schools is bad and I don't like it. I was talking to my mother over the weekend. I went back to her house, hung out for a few days and Becky, I'm gonna put you on blast. I was like, you know, Biden grabbing young women and smelling them and like telling that one girl wait till you're 30 before you get into a serious relationship like that's scummy dirty and if i went to the park and did that to a little kid i'd probably get thrown in jail she's like he did not so i showed her the video i showed her the picture she's like he shouldn't be touching little kids he should not be but the media is not going to show you that it's up to us it's and

that's why elon buying twitter that's an october surprise what if one week before the election alex jones mile unopolis laura loomer donald trump they all come back and then and then they're surfing on that red tsunami i wonder if that'll have an impact i mean these are loud voices i think i mean there's a reason they were censored there's a reason you know not just right wingers but also people on the left a lot of anti-establishment types were censored because they're not censored because they were wrong they're censored because they were a threat towards the current narrative towards the current agenda and they needed to silence those voices in order to make sure that their agenda their narrative could go through it without even question, without even being stopped at all. And I think this is why we had so much lunacy during the last two and three years,

because no one could have challenged it. You challenged it, you got banned right away. This is, again, why I see Twitter as a net positive, possibly moving forward. Well, you know, it's interesting you talk about that focus group, right? And people saying this, this stuff that's going on in schools. Well, look, it's been out there for a long time now. But it's just it could never get traction on social media could never get traction in the mainstream media because they didn't want to talk about it. They don't want to offend the far left that thought this was all great. But where it all starts to come out is when you've got, you know, little Johnny with his Chromebook sitting home from school and then mom and dad also sitting home from school working.

And they're like, what? We never heard about this. And then people start digging in and then you start activating all these people and you cannot you cannot unring that bell right now. And so that is that is an exact point when you have gas prices where they are, inflation where it is, threat of war with Russia over Ukraine. And he's talking to a guy that's pretending to be a girl in the White House. I mean, come on. Who watches that and says – That person is faking it. You're talking about Dylane Faking It. Dylane Mulvaney is intentionally trying to insult trans people and women.

And there's nothing anyone can say to convince me otherwise. Blair White said, no, I know people who know him. And, you know, Dylan is actually trans. And I'm like, there is no, like, I just don't buy it. I think Dylan Mulvaney's whole bit, and we've talked about it a couple times, is intentionally trying to insult trans people. It's, you look at these videos and you're like, that is, look at videos of your average trans person.

That is not what Dylan Mulvaney is doing. Like Blair White is a is an example of a conservative. I think Blair's conservative, I assume Trump supporting. And then you look at ContraPoints, the two examples left and right. They do not act like that. This Dylan Mulvaney goes to the White House and says extremely offensive things. Come on, like Dylan Mulvaney made a video about how he's got a bulge and everyone was staring at it.

Like that, I'm telling you, man, this person is trying to make trans people, to insult trans people. And Dylan's probably laughing every time he puts a video out because conservatives are watching it saying, look how crazy they are. And the left is being like, we better protect it.

It's like that teacher. You saw the high school teacher with the big fake tits? Some people are suggesting that was a troll. I saw that. Maybe it was a troll. I'm like, I wouldn't be surprised. Oh, I mean, look, I gotta be honest. I mean, maybe society is collapsing.

People are losing their minds. But I really think when you look at, there are a lot of people who are trans that are not prominent and you might not even notice. And they've been around for a long time. Then you look at Dylan and everyone assumes that's what trans is. I'm like, no, Dylan is just intentionally, it's a character. It's a caricature.

It's a mockery. It's akin to a minstrel show. And there's nothing anyone can say to convince me otherwise. Because Blair White's not walking around talking about Barbie pouches. What is that even word? Hiking heels? Dude. She doesn't make her personality about her gender. It's a show. Dylan is doing a show.

It's fake, fake, fake. Anyway, look, Luke, I gotta ask you this question. Uh-oh. Look at this map. What am I pointing to right there? What is that? New Hampshire. What color is it? I don't know. I might be colorblind. I can't really... What color is it, Luke? What is that? New Hampshire. What color is it? I don't know. I might be colorblind. I can't really. What color is it, Luke?

What is that? What color is New Hampshire, Ian? Who's the governor of New Hampshire? It's blue. It's blue? New Hampshire's blue. How is New Hampshire voting a Democrat senator in? Bernie Sanders.

No, he's Vermont. He's Vermont. I don't know. And he's independent anyway. Who runs that state? I don't know much about that race that's happening in the Senate there, but I do know the governor there, Sununu. Now here we have it.

Oh. Governor Red. What happened? New Hampshire. I don't understand how you get a red governor and a blue. It's the Free State Project. A lot of purple. They call them mass holes.

A lot of people moving up from Massachusetts and changing the landscape there. That's right. I don't think it matters what political party you affiliate with, personally. I want good people. I don't care what label you slap on your shirt. Hey, I'm still a big fan of the Free State Project. I think they're doing incredible work, and I think a lot of them, especially with the homeschooling network down there,

is doing incredible stuff that I think should be replicated and copied everywhere else. Their meetups, their community is awesome, going strong and doing really, really incredible things. So they're not affiliated, red or blue, Republican? Well, they're in the local government. There's a lot of, you know, freestaters in the state representatives, local governments there that are implementing local laws, local jurisdictions, making sure that you could actually get raw milk, ice cream. That was one of the big hurdles, making sure that you could carry your firearm when you're on an ATV.

And there's a lot of other legal battles, especially when it comes to taxes and tax credits, especially from homeschooling, that they did have very significant victories on by coming together and working together on those issues. What was the no gun on an ATV problem? They were- New Hampshire had some weird law where you couldn't have a gun on a snowmobile or ATV.

And they, of course, repealed it with work of the Free State Project in local government. See, this is what's brutal is them. I pulled up 270 to win state house elections map. Only 31 states. So Senate and representative state legislatures, it's only 31 states going Republican. New Hampshire, of course, is red. Free State Project. Maine and Minnesota are considered toss-ups, so we'll see.

But even then, it's only 33. We need a handful more, man. What do you need, like 30, 37 or something for a convention of states? Yeah, I think it was, who was it that we were talking about? Oh, it was Doug Mastriano I mentioned. Hey, convention of states, then we can fix everything. He's like, be careful with that because they can use that against you too. People can call Convention of States and like change laws.

They can't outright. You still need to have gun rights. So we talked to the Convention of States guys. They were on the show and they said it's not what happens. A Convention of States allows a convention to occur where they make proposals and then they have to vote on the changes to the Constitution they don't just do it does it go to this it doesn't go to the senate bypasses the senate it's the states only so the state so it would have to be the republicans voting and then my question is if the republicans convene a convention of states is it going to be republicans banning 2a or are they going to be like we reaffirm and re you know reinst you know restate the all

i mean like the NFA outright violates the Constitution. We just, as a society, just allow these things to happen. The funny thing is, most, I should say the problem is most people don't care about their rights being eroded. That's it.

Like everyone's being spied on. Nobody cares. It's that subtlety that people don't, it's when you don't perceive it you know a little bit like erosion slow erosion uh is unnoticeable almost but when a big huge chunk of land breaks off that type of erosion everyone freaks out about well that's one of the points i brought up earlier with like local local issues right most people are not tuned into what's going on locally they'll tune into the national stuff because it's

on television all the time, right? You need to turn on Fox or CNN or whatever network you want to watch, and they're going to be covering the Senate. They're going to be covering the House. They're going to be covering the presidentials. But maybe you have 10% of people on the right and 10% of the people on the left in these local elections that actually care. And then they show up to the extent they do in these low turnout local elections. And they're just guessing. They don't know anything about these people because they're not paying attention. They're busy with soccer practice. They're busy with school. They're busy with their day-to-day life. But that's where it all starts, right? All these people that are running for these big offices now all get their start at the school board, the county boards,

all these local offices. And they get in there and they start moving on up. And if people don't pay attention to what's going on locally, that's why we're in the problems we're in now. What kind of commitment is it to be a local official? I mean, it's low paid. Like if you're a school board member, you get paid $20,000 a year. So you're not doing it for the money. You may be doing it because you're an activist and you want your policies in place or more likely than not, you you're a political climber and this is your first step to the next step. So right off the bat, you've got to start, you know, paying the favors that you owe and making sure that you're appeasing your base and playing politics at the local level.

Do they convene weekly, monthly? Is it every day? How often does a school board member, for instance? Every two weeks. You do like what, like six hours? They do. They do like a, yeah, about a six hour public meeting. And then they have committee meetings, which are often, you know, they could be virtual. They could be in person. It is a lot of work for them to do it. So, you know, when you have people doing it, it's I I kind of break it down as to, you've got the true activists, you've got the political climbers, you've got the people that are actually went there

because they believe in public service. And then you got the people that believe in public service, but have been so beaten down by the first two that they're just, you know, checking in and checking out. And that's what local government looks like. So should we pay a million bucks? Will that make sure that the people are there for the paycheck and not for the activism? I don't know.

I don't think that's a real solution. I just think that it's always going to be activists. The problem is, where are our activists who want to be there? I'm doing the show, personally. You're doing a show. What are you doing here, Ian? Maybe you should be out running for office. I'm thinking.

But I do think shows like this are massively influential because you can get a lot of people to vote the way you want them to vote when 10,000 people or 100,000 people hear your voice. Although imagine, you know, 10 years from now, Ian's governor of West Virginia. And we're like, remember when he was on the show and then he decided, you know, he got into something, and now he's the governor

and constitutional carry has been enshrined at the federal level. Ian's running for president. You know what I don't like about governorship right now is that they can decide for their state if abortion is legal or not. One person. Isn't it chosen by the government? No, it's not. The governor?

Who decides? State legislature. So how many people is that? Depends on the state. Some states it's 50. Some states it's 300. Is the governor involved in that? So depends on the state some some yes some

no uh in some states where the way it'll work is the state house will propose a bill they'll vote on it if it passes it goes to the state senate who will vote on it if it passes it goes to the governor governor's deck and desk and he can say veto or a sign veto but not in every state the governor doesn't have veto power does governor veto i don't know about every single state i think like nebraska is an assembly structure and some states have like a senate i don't know it depends on the state man but they basically function like similarly to the to the to the federal government i get edgy over top-down authority but what do you think about governance right now do you think it's like do you like the way it's set up? Yeah, I mean, it does depend on the state, but governance generally, locally, nationally? What are we talking about?

Statewide governance with a governor at the top, president at the top of the national government, that kind of setup that he's got. Yeah, I think you need it. I mean, I think you need, you know, it's federalism, right? If you have too powerful of a state legislature, you're dealing with the same issues you would have if you didn't have that check and balance at the national level checking Congress, right? If you don't have that at the state level, there's a lot of things that get done at the state level that don't get done at the federal level.

The federal government will try and get those done, but most of the consequential stuff that affects your day-to-day life happens at the state level. So if you're flipping every which way and you don't have those checks and balances in the state government as well, your life's going to be impacted. So we had Ammon Bundy on last week and he was saying that if he becomes governor, he's going to make abortion illegal, basically.

And that's just a vague, you know, a generalization. Yeah, it's him saying he has a policy plan and he's going to advocate for it and then hopefully get to sign it. Advocate for it, I get you. Advocate for it to the legislature, then they get to decide what to do with it okay saying if you get this to my desk i will sign it you think you'll ever run for state office no any kind of office you have any aspirations right now never definitely not where are you gonna run for i will say right

now there will never be a circumstance where i will ever run for public office i don't know if i can help people with public i mean i bet i. I think what is the job is a lot of listening. Like you go in and there's 50 other people that want to talk. So it's just wait and listen to everybody. The power is going to go to your head. You're going to do mandatory DMT trips for everybody. I could see it now, but I mean,

if you do breathing to incite the DMT rush. Yeah, dude. Holotropic breathing. That's one way of doing it. And when, when, when every single person who turns 18 has to

go to an go go in for extended state dmt it's like a three-day thing where they put you on a on a bed with the iv drip for dmt and then a screen comes out of the floor and it's ian's face and he's like you can do this i think the aztec i don't want to do this you have to do this the aztecs did that before obsidian ritual cutting hearts out and stuff the resistance psychedelics the resistance breaks into ian's palace chamber and they're like it's over crossland we're putting an end to and then he hits a button and it sprays dmtl on their faces and they're like luke do you have aspirations to run for office i i hate politicians i don't want to hate myself that much.

And no, hell no. I just don't see it. I see more positive change being done by media rather than being in a political office. Yep. Culture. Culture is very important. Right. We've had governor candidates come on the show,

but I've never been to their governor's mansion. mean i'd go there look around take some pictures candidates they don't have mansions okay who's more influential you know uh tucker carlson or like your your local congressman yeah i mean that's a question that i think is worth asking tucker for sure tucker i mean it depends celebrity is celebrity aoc is a celebrity she's really like falling out of the limelight a little bit the democrats have really lost any they haven't got anybody like you know we said aoc the other day's a-lister but it's like she's really not getting the press these days no no no yeah the squad's gone but the republicans keep getting it see this is the fault of the democrats who chase after the the far, they say. They made it so that Lauren Boebert, MTG, Trump, DeSantis are the news. And now nobody cares about their candidates. So sorry, guys.

You think you'll ever run for office, Ian? No. I mean, I agree with that. I think that, I mean, first of all, if you run for office, to be really good, really good, you need to say, this is what I stand for. And I am not going to let the pressure get to me where you start, you know, compromising on your views. And, and then you start, you know, you just lose who you are while you're running for office. And it happens to a lot of people. It doesn't happen to everybody, but you see it happen. And I see it happen all over the place where you're like, oh, well, that person said that because he was in a crowd of people that, that think that, and doesn't want to lose that vote or she doesn't want to

lose that vote. And then you just, you know, it's sort of a natural reaction, I think, for people. And there are other ways to sort of influence policy, to influence, you know, culture beyond just running for political office. I think you have to have that, the right characteristic, right stuff to run for office. I've never thought that I would be that person. It happened to AOC. She was talking about how big and bad the military industrial complex was.

Now she's one of their biggest supporters and funders. These people are pathological liars. This is why I hate election season. They're lying through their teeth. They're full of crap on almost every single issue. And I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican. There's very few people that are able to actually impress me and talk about the real legitimate issues that actually matter instead of just giving me generalized platitudes that don't amount to Jack-ish and only amounts to them

trying to get you to support them. And whenever you're a human being that puts your power, your energy, whenever you put someone else above yourself, you're committing an act that shouldn't be respected. You shouldn't be a simp for politicians. You should believe in yourself. You should empower yourself. And at the end of the day, one person who's going to fix all your problems, it's not going to be you when you decide you had enough of the bull crap and you're going to make changes and decisions in your life that actually benefit you instead of giving up all of your power to Mr. Douchebag or Mr. Turd Sandwich. But isn't it just so much easier just to not think about it, Lou? No.

Just give up. When you see the atrocities, when you see so many human beings being poisoned, being screwed over, being absolutely robbed of their wealth, robbed of their futures. No, it's not easy because the amount of hurt that politicians are putting on the American people doesn't amount to any form of laziness or convenience that just by voting them in. But I wonder if that's just part of the system, the structure of the system that people have, because you're saying like every, almost every politician becomes some sort of scum. And that's an extreme way. Predominantly most.

Is that, I wonder if it's all of them, either that's a problem with humanity, which may be, but I don't, I want to think better than that, that it's a problem with the way the system's set up that people, all of a sudden they get some votes and now they're, they have more power than you. Maybe it should be that they have ability to alter what are you gonna say yeah so i liken it to this right so you've got your your network uh shows right your your sort of mass uh consumption sitcoms and they're on broadcast right and they do well and a lot of politicians are like that but then you have your really good shows smart shows that are still able to achieve success. You know, it could be on HBO, could be on any of these other platforms. So you still do have that, but you have to really be able to balance, you know, popular appeal, but staying

true to your ideals, right? That's what makes a, not just a good politician, but a good elected official. We do have a lot of these, you know, generic broadcast network shows that are about on television. You see the promos for them when you're watching the NFL over and over again for 20 years. That does make up a lot of the political class. You think there are elected officials that aren't politicians? I think there are elected officials that will engage in being a politician to get to office and then actually do the job that's required of them. But being a politician to get to office and then actually do the job that's required of them. But being a politician and being a, you know, a candidate, I mean, you've got to make phone calls and ask people for money. That is the worst thing in the world. I

don't know how anybody ever does that. I've got to pack it out and loud and fight for schools. I used to have to, I called some people last summer to try and raise money for, you know, our recall efforts. It was horrible. You know, you're like, can you give me uh what can you can you well i can give you 200 that's oh that's awesome thanks like what did you only ask for 200 yeah i can't ask for more that sounds horrible i don't want sure you can't i know i used to do nonprofit fundraising and i would always this is what the average person comes in so i'm doing this canvassing they'd be like can you give five bucks a month and they'd be like okay and they'd be like okay and then i'd be like, can you give five bucks a month? And they'd be like, okay. And they'd be like, okay. And then I'd be like, why don't you ask for a hundred? I can't ask for

a hundred dollars. I'll be like, are you kidding? Let me show you. It's done. I walk up to a guy and I'm like, we want you to sign up. And I've got, I've got like a trainee and they're like, what's it going to cost? I'm like, I'd like you to give me a thousand dollars per month. And then the guy just laughs. He's like, are you kidding? And I was like, oh no, I want you to give me a thousand dollars per month. Otherwise who else is going to help us stop deforestation? And the guy goes, oh, I can't give you a thousand dollars. I'm like, how about a hundred bucks? And he goes, I can do a hundred. And I'm like, you get what you ask for. That's the, that's the thing. But I get it, man. Fundraising is brutal. So I think that's another reason I wouldn't want to be involved.

I would do it like via internet video, you know, but I don't even know if it violates YouTube's terms of service. But of course, you could have your own social network and work off mines and things like that. Yeah, I don't understand that. Politicians should just be putting out broad spectrum videos where they're like, I need you guys to donate today. Here's why. And then just do like a 10 minute podcast, YouTube video, social media, put on all the platforms. That's way more effective than picking up the phone and calling random people.

But then they use the pick up the phone system to be like, well, that means I need to hire 10 people, which means I need to raise this amount of money. Because you don't need money to be a YouTube star. I did. When I started, I had nothing. I had a $60, $30 webcam and a $15 microphone. You know how you win these days? It's like, think about anything they're doing. They're going door to door. When I started, I had nothing. I had a $60, $30 webcam and a $15 microphone. You know how you win these days? It's like, think about anything they're doing.

They're going door to door. It's like, just film everything and post videos. Making phone calls, buying commercials. A commercial is less effective than you making your own video that goes viral for whatever reason. So, you know, when Bloomberg was running, he put half a billion dollars or whatever into this race. And all these YouTubers started getting tons of money. And they're like, that's just, I guess when you're a really unpopular guy with really horrifying ideas, you have to pay for it. But if you're a politician, you want to run, you got good ideas, you can just do all earned press.

Make YouTube videos. You don't need to spend a single dime on it. Donald Trump, it was all earned press. He spent very little money relative to uh to hillary and other candidates because they just kept talking about him on the tv he knew how to do it but that wasn't even him making his own youtube videos nowadays you can just make your own youtube show and be like hey i'm running and give me money yeah i mean think about this people are members at timcast.com so that we can make more shows and we're not even running for office so you know people are willing to sign up to help to contribute.

You just got to be better at it, I guess. It's always driven me nuts how like the great politicians are the people that don't want to do it. They're like, I don't want that power. I don't want that. It's not right. But then you're like, but you have to because you're the right guy. Like you're the one that will put it down when you're done with it. But no one's going to force you to do it.

So unless you take the reins and make yourself go. So Ian, you're going to have to run. It's got to be so specific. I mean, to do politics, you're up against the global. And then you take the military into account. And it's like, oh my God, do I want to be in charge of who lives and dies? I mean, I'd rather me than somebody else.

I want everyone to imagine ian sitting at the oval office desk justifying why they had a drone bomb that pakistani village dude it's so gross i know it's like no but you like think about the kind of person you could imagine saying something like that but then you have real threats where like there's an invasion force it hasn't happened really in our in our modern history to the united states we don't have any yeah we do haven't had a real invasive threat. What do you mean? The United States?

Yeah, for the past several years, people are marching in the tens of thousands with their flags. I would have sent the National Guard out night two. Yeah, that's what Kerry Lake has been saying. National Guard, man. Kerry Lake has been calling for the National Guard to go down and stop the invasion. The border dude and the cartels.

Now, you want to talk about an enemy you do not, well, I don't want to make enemies with cartels who are on our, but we've got like a drug, what do they call it? A narco terrorist state on our southern border. Like the Mexican government is the cartel, essentially. Or it's like the cartel is a form of government

that operates. But they're intergovernmental. I mean, you've got cartel operating even up in Maryland and up in- That is freakish. That's true. Haven't you ever watched Breaking watched breaking bad dude has it always just been military authority since the beginning i don't remember looking at history i don't know of a time when it wasn't military authority first and then everything else well yeah we're in a bubble i mean it's a crazy thing dude you just because i i i gotta say it i've been reading about the

civil war and there was no lincoln suspends habeas corpus from D.C. up to Philly, up to Pennsylvania basically because Maryland was a slave state. So they're just randomly arresting people. This is why the four states in 1861 in May seceded because Abraham Lincoln was like, I'm not going to allow these seven states to secede. We're going to use force. Then four other states, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Virginia were all like all like, yo, we're not going to, we're not going to stand by and let you do that. It was brutal, but it was war. You know, what do you do when war, when war breaks out, everything else is, is, is just words on paper. You know, you, you, you can come out and be like, I've got a constitutional right to this, that, or otherwise. And they're going to be like, yeah,

well, we're being invaded by, you know, China or whatever, so I don't care. The United States interned Japanese people. Like, that is certainly not constitutional. Didn't matter. War's war. Winning, winning. So, if it really does break down and get crazy, people don't

understand how crazy it can really get. Everybody tries to base what they think is happening in this country off of what's already happening right now, what happened in the past. But you know what, man, what people really don't get? Every single war, there's a, there's a, there's a, this technology has advanced in weapons. And so when the next war breaks out, people are taken by surprise at the weapons that are being used. So just consider this. You have the invention of rifled muskets and even breech-loading rifles in the Civil War. And that increased accuracy of the rifles by like 400%. So now bayonet charges don't work. And many groups tried that. Imagine where we go now. Imagine if a

war actually broke out. What do you think we're going to see? It's not just going to be AR-15s. There's going to be weird things. There's going to be drones. There's going to be a DJI drone, and it's going to be carrying a small payload, and it's going to fly up and then zoom straight at you and explode. There's going to be people with

microwave cannons, so like active denial systems. It shoots microwaves at people, so it makes them feel like they're on fire. Laser weapons. L-Rads. Tiny drone bullets that are going to be controlled and just fly into someone's head and blow up.

That's right. Suicide drones. Tiny little bombs. All they got to do is go right to your eye. Natural disaster weapons. Yeah. Tsunami bombs. Consciousness weapons.

Weather control. Weather modification weapons. What is it? Silver iodide? Is that what they use? That's how they seed clouds. Right. And they can also use infrared lasers.

There was a study in Germany that did this. They pointed lasers up and it condensed particles, creating clouds. Now, how would you use that during a war? Make it rain too much in an area that's destable or unstable, rather. Or can't handle that much rain. Or cutting out solar power. Or deny rain. Cutting out solar power. Or block the clouds or block the sun as Bill Gates is trying to do himself.

Real Matrix. Bill Gates is trying to do a Mr. Burns? Yeah. There's a scientific project that was supposed to be tested. It didn't go forward, but it's going to go forward later on. That literally is going to block out the sun. Do you got a name on that by any chance?

Let's look it up. I looked it up. I was researching this about like eight months ago, so it's still in the back of my head, but block sun. Oh, you're just from CNN, yes. What does it say? What's the title? A Radical Proposal on Climate Change, Block Out the Sun. Yeah, and this is a project that

Bill Gates is funding. Harvard scientists, yeah. Bill Gates is funding this all in the name of climate change and green energy policy. Bill Gates' venture aims to spray dust into the atmosphere to block the sun. What could go wrong? Yep. This is a Mr. Burns. He's trying to poll Mr. Burns. This was supposed to go forward as an official test a couple months ago.

It was postponed, but the test is still going to be going forward with Bill Gates literally blocking out the sun because of climate. I pictured Bill Gates literally 100 million miles wide blocking out the sun when you see that. No, no, he's got a remote, and when he presses presses it a gigantic metal disc goes up we just don't he's just you know he's just an unaccountable billionaire businessman that buys off the corporate media there's nothing to worry about here it's not like he believes there's too many people in this world oh wait oh yeah this is the kind of sunburns easily and that's really what it's about he's like a pasty white dude and he's like i don't want to buy lotion he does wear a lot of sweaters he's like see yes you know maybe he's you know it's like eczema or something more magnesium bill get more green vegetables that's how you avoid sunburn well have you seen his moves you know i mean i don't think

the dude's eating vegetables i think he's just he wants to block out the sun i'm thinking yeah that sounds so villainous yes i know yes what do you think i've been screaming about this person for the last 10 years 10 years i've been like hey you guys should look out at this guy hey hey this guy's doing this he's doing this he's doing this he's doing this he's also trying to create microchips that are going to be uh artificially birth control inside inside of human beings that that's all concerning stuff that we should be talking about especially since we got here talking about the new kind of weapons that will be used during World War Three, because there's also a big potential, hypothetically, to say that this war is already going on, and a lot of people don't even realize

it anymore. And that right now people are dying, people are casualties of this war, from circumstances and things that they don't see that they might be participating in and consuming themselves. For sure, viruses, you can't see them. That's a great war tactic. Food, if you poison food or make food that is poisoned, that's a kind of a war tactic. But it's just like a subtle war. No one wants to be the aggressor in that war. They don't want to be found out as an aggressor.

You'll lose public support. So you always want the other side to be the aggressor. Right. And then both sides on their border and then attack you. You know, it would be really funny if like World War Three is just like the U.S. is bombing itself and blaming Russia and Russia is bombing itself and blaming the U.S. But that's all it is. And they have a secret deal and arrangement being like, hey, guys, we're going to wag the dog here. We're going to stage something, but we're going to work on this together so we could feed the military industrial complex.

But we're just going to play pretend here. Well, I mean like- Hypothetically. The U.S., I think it would be funnier in this scenario if the U.S., there's no direct conflict, it's them attacking themselves, but we were bombed today and it must have been Russia, but it was like the CIA. It's false flag after false flag after false flag. Nothing but false flags.

Russia is like, so I mean, think about what would happen. Right now, you've got this story where Russia apparently is going to blow up a dam. And so Russia says Ukraine's going to blow up a dam. So Western media says that's a signal that Russia's going to blow the dam up to blame us. Like, this is how insane it is. So, like, all of a sudden, the Ukrainian dam explodes. And then the Western media says Russia did it. It's a false flag.

They're trying to blame us. Then all of a sudden, Russia blows up one of its own damabs and goes, no, no, this proves that Ukraine did it because even we got attacked. And so everyone's just blowing themselves up. You got to get public support, I guess. But let's get to the point where the robots fight each other. I think that's already happening, too. Or you could just deny humanity energy and watch civilization collapse on itself. We can watch food prices go up so it becomes too expensive so people can't afford it.

You could stop domestic energy production and exploration, just like the new prime minister, who is also a part of the World Economic Forum, a Goldman Sachs banker, which is akin to a social credit score that his family is also invested in heavily and working on, of course, building with the World Economic Forum. This is, what's this guy's name? The PM of? Rishi? Rishi Sunak. And he just got in with like two days ago. Yep. And he's already

banned fracking. Oh yeah. The entire global United Kingdom. Yep. Yep. And they're already getting ready to ration ban fracking? Oh, yeah. The entire United Kingdom. Yep. Yep. One person should not have it. And they're already getting ready to ration heating oil for the winter. It's crazy. And this is the same person, by the way, that just talked about how the UK is going to be the first place that is going to rewire their entire financial system in order to be net

zero. Oh, this is the same guy literally promising, hey, we're also going to bring in a central bank digital currency because it's going to be so convenient when the government's able to watch, track, and see every little thing you do and tax you automatically without you even having to fill out any tax forms. This is a new level of Orwellian 1984 new world order, brave new world that we are all

facing today that a lot of people warned about saying, hey, this is coming. Now this is a reality. It's like a big do-over, you know? Like a big, large, grand, grande

reformatting. Yeah, reformatting. A change-at. A change up. A gigantic new beginning. A restart, right? Restart? Something like that. Like a reformat.

Like a rebirth. A grandiose rebirth. Big rebirth. I was studying the revolution, the American revolution, the first one. And I say right now, because we're in it right now. It never stopped. George washington would go to the continental congress they'd all go you know they'd sit there and washington would barely ever speak he'd just listen and he'd be wearing

his full military outfit and they're like yo this guy's ready to roll like it was before the war began but everybody knew george was ready to go and he shows up in full military gear they're like dude calm down finally when they make their decision that they're gonna have to go to war with england um john adams is like we've decided who's gonna lead the army and john hancock's like he's the president of congress he's like here we go give it to me boys and then uh they were like and it's george washington and hancock's like deflated he thought he was gonna be the guy and george didn't want it he was like this is a suicide mission i can't there's no way we can win this yeah But he did it anyway. And thank God for the French.

How many battles did he win? I don't know. I mean, you can count Trenton as a battle, maybe. But I think other than that, I don't know if he won a single one other than Yorktown. I mean, all he did was fight, lose, stay alive, retreat, keep going over and over and over again. Obviously the French come in at Yorktown. They have Saratoga, which was a big win, but he wasn't there.

Sometimes that's the winning strategy. Sometimes that's what you gotta do. Makes a good commander. Mel Gibson won a couple. He did. Right. Yeah. He lost both his kids though, right?

I know. He had a bunch of kids. No, he didn't die at that one. No, he wins in the end. That movie's so good. Washington won six victories at Boston, a siege at Boston, Harlem Heights, Trenton, the Battle of Trenton, Princeton, and Yorktown. And he also was defeated six times.

Long Island, Kipps Bay, White Plains, Fort Washington, Brandywine, and Germantown. And he had a tie, two ties, at White Marsh and Monmouth. But yeah, he basically just held the line for the French to come win the war for him. No one can do it alone. That's the question about a civil war in the United States. A lot of people on the right think that, come on, the right has guns, they have more military. But people don't understand that, you know, when I was reading about North Carolina, I was reading a bunch of historical articles from universities.

North Carolina, Virginia, they were split. They were like – they didn't want to secede from the union. The protections the union offered was too great. There were benefits. They just didn't want to leave. And it was only after 75,000 troops were called upon by Lincoln that they were like, that's way too much for us. We're not going to support that. That's tyrannical. But it's split. If something were

to happen in this country, you might be thinking like, no, there's no way the state would leave like there's not enough states. It wouldn't split. But there might be some states that just look, I'll put this way. Donald Trump wins in 2024. He's president in 2025. California, Oregon, and Washington all say outright we will not abide by federal law pertaining to abortion or sex changes for kids or schools. And then Trump says they have totally cut us off, so we're sending in the army, invoking the Insurrection Act, something that we've already discussed as possible. Or let's say Antifa starts rioting, and then trump says we're going to shut down these riots this time i'm not making the same mistake the i'm invoking the insurrection act and then california says we can't we can't do this is too much trump sending troops now the media obviously sides all with these these progressive states pushing the cause of secession i mean that's

you know what push it to is if they try to institute a draft for some sort of offensive measure in Ukraine, states would be like, I am out. I will not tolerate that. I don't know. I don't I don't know. I think red states. But if Trump, if the GOP wins, we're not going to have that. If the Republicans win the war, the war is effectively a nonissue for us. And Ukraine is going to lose in two seconds.

No world war. Look, I'll put it very simply. If Trump wins and if we survive to 2024 and World War III doesn't start, I don't think it will. I hope not. If Trump wins, if Republican wins. Well, I'll say this. I can't speak for the Republicans. But if Trump wins, our involvement with Ukraine is done. Ukraine loses the war overnight.

Russia walks in and just takes what they want. It's better than World War III. What are you thinking? Is that possible? Well, I mean, I don't know if you saw the story the other day where even the far left progressive caucus is saying, oh, you know, let's back off what we're doing. Now, then, of course, you know, they got yelled at,

so they had to back off it. But this is not something that, you know, the majority of conservatives support, even those on the far left, I mean, their conscience is, we can't support this. I mean, this is the political class in Washington, you know, that have been there for years, that, you know, going back to, you know, World War II, really,

that is pushing this. Yeah, was it 20 or 30 representatives? I'm not sure how many it was. I think it was a significant number coming out against the escalations in ukraine which was which is big news and should have been covered more right but this is always how it happens right where you have one one spot it's like what was it serbia in world war one right was it serbia where everything happens from there right now not everything, not everything is World War II where you have, you know, a dictator on the march invading countries. You know, you have conflagrations like this that set off things that once they happen, you cannot roll them back.

So hopefully, hopefully, you know, after November, this thing starts to get rolled back because, you know, we're kind of at this brinksmanship, which we've seen, you know, throughout the Cold War, which fortunately never erupted into anything beyond these proxy wars. But, you know, hearing talks about we're approaching nuclear Armageddon or we could be looking at nuclear Armageddon, the fact that more people aren't talking about that, I mean, that's crazy to me. Absolutely. This is the first I heard of the progressive outcry about it. Who was it? Was it like AOC?

I don't think AOC was there. Jay Paul, I think, was the one that sent the letter. So she's a member of Congress. And then a day later, they were throwing staff under the bus for the bus and they, you know, for for sending this letter. It's I mean, you didn't think this through. You didn't you know, either you write it, you send it, you stand by it or you don't send it. But I mean, within a day it unraveled. Sometimes when I see stuff like this, I'm like, is there a powerful spaceship hidden in off the horizon where, you know, like these progressives, they can't actually do anything good?

The Democrats have no choice. Is there some great and powerful demonic entity or a super being or a multidimensional creature that is forcing them to be evil garbage? I just I don't understand why you can't just be like the war is wrong. Here's my letter i don't care it was the congressional uh progressive caucus that officially sent the letter we should have some of these individuals on uh with how close look out look how cowardly they got though they back down they apologize they they all the bs they play come on dude i bet there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff be interesting to air that yeah but i want to

know what the hell happened because they sent the letter and then they had to backtrack why did they have aliens what pressure to de-escalate the situation these people are de-escalating the war no beep burp wouldn't do that beep burp is going to be a ron paul uh and cap libertarian freedom fighter that's going to progress human society so we are going to be equally and promote freedom and really be the best human beings that we could be. I'm optimistic. Jimmy Dore is calling him out

and the fake woke cult left despises it, but Jimmy's right. Yeah. I want to know what happened. I want to know if it's like a lobbyist group or if it's a corporate group or if it's an intelligence agency that came to this progressive caucus and said, stop it right now.

Who did it? Why? I want to know. And I think the American people deserve an answer because it's their money going over there. It's their money escalating

in this situation. I agree. So let's go to Super Chats. If you haven't already, would you kindly smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends,

So again, smash that like button. Let's read some super chats. Soleil Cucumber Lime says,

good night, everyone. Before the show started. That's how Fetterman started. And you know, this one's kind of obvious. He meant to say good evening. Evening and night in his brain. See, this goes to show you that he is having a cognitive

defect. It's not just auditory processing his brain pulled the wrong word in his mind evening and night are the same thing so he said night but good evening is a greeting and good night is a departure it's a goodbye a farewell brain don't work all right what do we got kermit says raymond g stanley jr this is to honor those families who got justice today brooks guilty on all charges thanks for name drop raymond that's right you guys saw that yeah daryl brooks yep yeah guilty on all charges all right crom cromules cromulus says joined the daily wire backstage live stream before Timcast IRL only to hear Ben Shapiro say that there is nothing morally wrong

with a man copulating with a frozen chicken. Well, certainly that can't be correct. Was he quoting someone else? Or has Ben lost his way? He is promoting a lot of crazy stuff out there. I'm going to give Ben the benefit of the doubt on this one. But I got to know more. I don't want to.

Let's go deep. Let's see. Triton54 says, he speaks in riddles. He drowns in red. Can't find a fetter-mah-hen. Can't find a fetter-mah-hen. I don't know what that song is. It's like a Pearl Jam song. That's Better Man.

Yeah, they're quoting the lyrics from Better Man. Better Man? Can't find a fetter-mah-hen. Oh, I get it. Fetterman. Is that, I don't know. It's like a Pearl Jam song. That's Better Man. Yeah, they're quoting the lyrics from Better Man. Better Man. Can't find a Fetterman. Oh, I get it. Fetterman. Can't find a Fetterman. Oh, yeah. All right.

Well, let's read some more. Amenthi says, going to close my PayPal this weekend. I'm tired of their nonsense and their treatment of Eric July was over the line. Re-upping my Timcast membership with Parallel Economy on November 1st. Cheers. Glad to hear it. That's a Dan Bongino company, so you're not just supporting us, you're supporting him. We're all here to build that

Parallel Economy, man. The God King Ma'am says, Tim, I took your advice. After 34 years of living in Seattle, we're done. As you read this, I'm driving from Seattle to Dallas, Texas for good. Currently somewhere in South Idaho. Peace out, Washington State. We outie. The good thing is more the people who are actually moving to Texas are actually voting Republican, which is actually helping the state shift more red that along with the Rio Grande Valley.

So it's a good thing. I think, you know, Rogan moving there, he's going to bring a lot of industry, which is gonna be more progressive. I don you know, Rogan moving there, he's going to bring a lot of industry, which is going to be more progressive. I don't know who Rogan's going to vote for. I assume he's voting Republican because he even said that on his show. But a lot of people who are moving to Texas are going to vote Republican. So better than nothing. Better than nothing.

All right. Let's see what we got. Zeno Rabbit says, I think we've officially lost the First Amendment. Agreed. Powder PZ says, I am Jewish and I 100% support Kanye. What they're doing to him is evil. Well, there you go.

Waffle Sensei says, Wrong Ian, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, taught us that greed isn't always bad. Greed is also what you use to cherish and protect the people you love and are responsible for yeah pride isn't always bad either and that's a sin in the catholic church i i agree greed isn't always evil so this is uh you should have you seen full metal alchemist you should watch it there's uh i won't spoil it too much but they're homunculi artificial humans okay and there's one each representing the seven deadly

sins so the point he's making is the character greed is sort of a villain but also kind of not you know an interesting point is made about greed in that you know you should watch full metal alchemist brotherhood man full metal it's fantastic yeah yeah really good stuff good politics yeah and and even the the the original deep deviant anime version because It's fantastic. Yeah, really good stuff. Good politics. Yeah. And even the original Deviant Anime version, because the manga stopped, and then they made... So there's two different Fullmetal Alchemists you can watch. They're both good.

But Brotherhood, I think, is way better. Luke, you should definitely watch this, too, because it's basically about the government is sacrificing people to make themselves immortal. So they're, like, you know, eating babies and stuff. Probably not far from reality. What are you eating eating there i think i had one of those earlier a little protein bar oh yeah it's real meat epic i bought a bunch of those i got different okay yeah very good chunks of you're saying the second full metal alchemist is better than the first one so the the they're both similar uh they're both basically about government conspiracies to become immortal, sacrificing people.

But Brotherhood is the complete finished storyline, which makes more sense. And I just think it's better. But, you know, I'm going to spoil a little bit. It's basically about a plan to sacrifice humans for, you know. Immortality. Yeah. Basically. Sort of.

But for power. Yeah. Immortality. Yeah, it's sort of, but for power, for more power. I'll give you, I'll expand upon it because this is interesting for those who might want to watch it. In the show, they do alchemy.

In order for alchemy to happen, you need, there's the law of equivalent exchange. That means if you want to make something, it has to come from something. Something can't come from nothing. But with the philosopher's stone, seemingly things can come from nothing. But with the philosopher's stone, seemingly things can come from nothing.

Basically, as it turns out, I'll spoil a little bit of it for you. These people who have these philosopher's stones, something isn't coming from nothing. They actually contain like thousands of dead people whose like bodies are converted into mass so they can use alchemy to mass produce stuff. And it's a crazy show.

It's really, really good. I wonder if someone has a hydroxy apatite crystal ball, which is the hydroxy apatite is the crystal that your bone is made of. A human bone crystal ball. That'd be cool. Alright, the pizza guy says here's 20 bucks for the FLCL reference

last night. Also, I made a video lining up Alex Jones, Joe Rogan rant with Full Metal Alchemist. Figure you'd find it funny since you're a fan. Look up Alex Jones explains Full Metal Alchemist. That sounds pretty funny. All right. We'll get some more super chats. Gabriel Martinez says, Luke, it isn't ideas.

Kanye is speaking from personal experiences. He's getting canceled because what he is saying is true. Who can't you criticize? I always hated that quote. People have claimed it's you know that there's a quote, it's like, if you want to learn who controls you, just look who you can't criticize.

And they claim that it was like Nietzsche or someone like that, but it was actually this white supremacist guy. It's also a really dumb quote because society doesn't tolerate criticism of a lot of weak, you know, it's like crippled children. It's like they're not in control of the world. That's the argument. If you criticize them, people would get mad at you as well. But here's what I would say about

Kanye. The comments I'm familiar with, he's wrong. I've already talked about if he's referring to, when he says like Jewish mafia, like 10 people that he is colloquially calling the jewish mafia is like okay and the reason people are mad as lex friedman brought up is that it invokes these stereotypes from the past but uh apparently someone mentioned that in the full lex firman podcast i didn't watch the full thing i watched i watched you know maybe like half an hour of it kanye apparently said really awful things that they're saying yeah he goes off a little bit on jewish people um yeah basically it's so weird like he did specify it was eight people that he works in his inner people in his inner business circle that all screwed him over at once and they

were all jewish those eight people that's what he was saying that's what he said lex was like still doesn't mean that all jewish people are away and kanye was saying he didn't mean all jewish people yes he did say that i think at one point he's like i want to apologize to the people that i had that had to be hurt from hearing this and and it's i don't know we gotta ask kanye what if you said irish mafia or look i get it i get it you know it does invoke these old stereotypes that and conspiracy theorists who believe like immediately the response to what he said is the people who believe that there's like a jewish cabal controlling the planet come out in droves and start saying this stuff. That's why I'm like, bro, you know.

Yeah. I mean, even Nick Cannon, he said a whole bunch of things that were, like, you know, basically backing Farrakhan forever ago. That's exactly it. Yeah. You know, if people realized how widespread the Farrakhan stuff was, they might be like, hey, wait a minute. It's not just Kanye if you're mad, you know. All right. Corn Pops, Harry Legs says Lincoln was a devout white supremacist. You don't know the Corbyn Amendment, the moral tariff and more. Get Thomas DiLorenzo from Mises

on your show to talk civil war. You know very little for the amount you talk about it. I know I know very little. I've watched a handful of documentaries, read a few historical scholarly articles, and this is broad surface level stuff. But sure, Thomas DiLorenzo, DiLorenzo from Mises Caucus, you know, we'll bring him on. Let's get him and Dave. We'll talk Civil War. That'd be fun. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, yeah, but I've read a long time ago some of the Lincoln letters or whatever.

I can't remember. It's been like a decade. But dude was like seriously racist. But literally everybody was. Segregation persisted in this country until the 1950s. So anybody who thinks the North was like anti-racist or whatever or believed in equality, you are wrong. Yeah, we were talking about the letters right before the show. The Lincoln letters that were pretty eye-opening.

Look at the history of Liberia. Dude, people were racist man seriously racist the corwin amendment was a constitutional amendment passed in 1861 by congress never ratified by the states that would have banned the federal government from abolishing slavery yeah in the states where it existed at the time i was actually reading about that earlier because um there was i think it was new york mag wrote about the failed amendments and i think there was like 10 000000 that have been proposed. But, like, of course, people are always trying to propose amendments, and that was, you know, one of them. All right.

Orange Owl says, Tim, I became a member at TimCast.com today, and I'm excited for my first live members-only show. Thanks for all for you and the crew. Do. The members-only show isn't live. It's recorded. We end the show. We record it. We upload it.

So it's video on demand for all of you but you can comment and we're going to be doing a contest soon for our members where you may be able to win a new car i say may because we've talked to the lawyer about it because like yeah i won't say too much you got to be a member we talked about it last night all right cork gaming says luke i'll sign up if you get Parallel Economy. I am. I'm in the process of doing that. And I have the other alternative right now as well. So it's all in the works. It's going to happen hopefully soon. Doing all the behind-the-scenes stuff.

It's been in the works for a long time. For Luke Uncensored? LukeUncensored.com, yep. All right. Legamathagayan says, I'm a Jew. The crackdown on Ye is idiotic and destructive. He must be publicly debated for the truth to win. Muffling the voices of narcissistic attention seeking fools gives them

legitimacy and annoys me how this is not obvious. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. I agree. Not only that, but the actual conspiracy theorists seeing all of this happen are now holding up signs saying, see, see, look what we said. This is not the way to deal with it, man. Kanye is a beloved celebrity. He says something like this. Then you need to be like, okay, Kanye, let's have a conversation. And if apparently he was saying he was referring to only eight people, I mean, that seriously changes the context of what he was saying. Great point, great comment.

And you said it more eloquently than what I was trying to say earlier. Ryan Brown says, canceling my Daily Wire subscription since they want to be hypocrites. But look, I don't know if that's true that they're not having Kanye on. It's just rumors. That's what Kanye said, right? That's what Kanye said, and he reiterated it. But without the specifics.

That's one side of the story. Don't feel like you need to jump to conclusions in this situation. It's a long conversation. Yeah, watch the video yourself and then come up to your own conclusions. Yeah, I'm a fan of what The Daily Wire is doing. So, you know, I'll reach out to them and see what's going on.

There's got to be a reason. The Daily Wire guys are not scared. You know what I mean? Well, Ben Shapiro still has a lot to answer for, especially with his promotion of something about two years ago that I think definitely needs to be answered. Did you see his video today? Oh, yeah. No. Ben Shapiro came out furious over the vax mandates, the policies,

the new revelations that have emerged, the lawsuit in New York. So he went off on it. And that's what I said. I'm like, dude, I'm not mad if someone was trusting and got taken advantage of. But he should explain why he spread false information. He should explain why he was wrong.

And he should at least admit it and talk about it because it affected a lot of people and during that specific time, he made a very bold statement. He said, get it, you dope. He said it's going to stop transmission and in reality, come on. Well, the New York Court ruled that it doesn't stop transmission.

Rocky Service says, Naruto sucks. Mark Gensalves for his Congress, Georgia District 7, Gwinnett County, Freedom First candidate running against fake incumbent carpetbagger, JK, Naruto's red. You almost lost me. Like opening that, I was like, you think I'm going to advocate? Oh, it was a joke. Okay, you're cool. Naruto actually was a really, really great show until like the very end with the great Ninja War arc when aliens showed up.

And it just didn't make sense anymore. And I was just like, what is going on? And now it's like they were traveling between dimensions. And Kaguya's an alien. And I'm just like, dude, you lost me on this. That's crazy, too, because for the entirety of Naruto's run, I was reading, as available, the scanlations every Wednesday. I'd be like, oh, the new scanlations. And I would read the latest chapter of Naruto's run, I was reading or as available, the scanlations every Wednesday. I'd be like, oh, the new scanlations out and I would read the latest chapter of Naruto. And then it just got to the point where

aliens and, you know, I'm just like, I'm not going to watch. I finished the series, but now Boruto, I'm just not interested in any of the weird stuff. All right, what do we got? Wyatt Caldenberg says, Ian, are you guys planning on making a Roku app for your website? I would be

interested interesting if subbing if I could watch your shows on my TV you talking about Timcast.com? yeah that's what I thought was too probably and I believe so yeah that ultimately that decision is up to Tim but I think you've mentioned I have seen the prototype Timcast mobile app and then after

the mobile app comes the OTT stuff so it looks like the mobile app comes the ott stuff so it looks like the mobile app may be may be done relatively soon i'm excited i was back in ohio like i said over the weekend and i wanted to show my parents timcast.com but they didn't have it on their tv so i was only had to show them the youtube clips from uh cast castle i mean they have youtube on the tv i don't know it was challenging to get to carl schneider says looks looks like Elon's going to need to buy $5,000 participation trophies. $5,000 ones? All right, all right.

Where are we at? Miguel D says, all humans are susceptible to in-group preference and collusion. Jews are no different. With great power comes great responsibility. You know, I think that's, you know, an important thing to point out that every group is susceptible, as they said, to in-group or out-group preference.

The issue that when it comes to things like what Kanye West said with like Jewish mafia or going DEFCON 3 on Jews. Which was a misspeak. He meant DEFCON. Right. I know. The problem is that World War II wasn't that long ago. And it was like really horrific what happened and that being said like for me i don't i don't i don't like the idea of singling out any group

that's been genocided i mean the armenian genocide you have the holland demore you know so i understand if people are concerned about old tropes that were used to justify things like genocide i get it you know also in the chat people are saying that Ben Shapiro did address that specific concern I had. I haven't seen it. If you could send it to me, please do on my Twitter, LukeWeAreChanging. I would love to see it. I'm pretty sure he was pissed off. I'm pretty sure he was like – I mean, but look.

I need to watch – I watched it, but it wasn't like the center of my attention. I had it playing on Twitter. But I can only imagine if you're someone like Ben Shapiro and you took a political stance only later to be found out they took advantage of you like he's probably gonna be pissed he does not like to be wrong well he's mr fax guy he got that one completely he got that one completely wrong and if he he came out and actually corrected himself you know my apologies but i want to see it first all right slick solomon says tim the average amount of hands per person is less than two. That's right.

Because the maximum typically is two. And some people don't have two. So that means the average will be lower. Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, Tim, a man of all people, arms or no arms. I mean, yeah, people, you know, if you only got one or no arms, you only need a shirt, right? Why would you have just empty sleeves? Do we live in a world for only the armful come on jacob worthheimer long time chatter first time listener really tim and crew thanks for all the red pills in 2020 while i was confined to my parents basement you inspired me

to be kicked out life has never been better i'm engaged please have what if all history on it would be epic uh i think we will yeah you know hopefully soon i don't know i don't know do you know where he's based out of um i think he's been living all over the world recently he's been talking about he's been living in a bunch of different countries he did a couple programs on that but he did his video on who would win a civil war it's like a million views yeah and it was recommended to me and i it was really good i disagree on his assessment though he makes a bunch of good points as to why he thinks the right would win but i think there's just too much missing from like we no single person knows enough about how loyalties break down or or not yeah it could be a situation where the

entire system is eradicated and something completely foreign erupts like it doesn't have to be a versus b and one of those will emerge. There could be a major geographical shift in the next four years, which definitely changes coastal and rural. We're already seeing it. Yeah, exactly. Like you said, just like all the people that are in the chat should remember that the Californians moving to Texas are not all blue. A lot of them are red. They're trying to move where they're more akin to the people that are around who they live. And what did Hochul say?

Get out. They're Republicans. So eventually you might see states where you're like, they would never secede. It's like, well, all the Republicans left. It's nothing but Democrats.

They'll vote. They'll say goodbye. They'll try and join Canada or whatever. Who knows? Yeah. Mr. Thao says, Ian Pryor is just

Ian Crossland from the past. Get it? Ian Pryor. Ha ha. He who came before. That's right. That's right. That's right. Thank you.

Talks with candor. Get my hair out. Yes. It's great. Tried to close my PayPal account. Kept getting speeches to keep it open. Finally, they try to close it, but kept finding issues. I have to wait 48 hours for an email before they can close the account.

Mm-hmm. I call BS. I agree. Sam Nooney says, if possible, it would be great to have Tudor Dixon on. We have to get rid of Whitmer, who sent 5,600 seniors to their death, among so many other terrible things. Yeah, that'd be great. I'm down.

You know, whatever. We talked about that yesterday. I was like, we got to get, you know. But we're so close to the election. I'll just say this. Who do we need to have on? We need to have on probably Bolduc, I'd imagine. That'd be interesting conversation because, you know, why New Hampshire is going Democrat in the Senate is strange.

And Tudor Dixon would be fantastic. We had Mastriano on. Carrie Lake's been on several times. I think Carrie Lake will one day be president or at the very least if she wanted to run she has that a factor you know x factor a lister whatever you want to call it s tier minimum vp i have i have democrat friends saying that and they're they like her oh she's you know when luke says vp i'm like i don't know she She's presidential. I say minimum. Minimumly that position. I disagree.

And what I mean by that is you look at VPs, and it's like, eh. But you look at Carrie Lake, and it's like, yo, she could be president. I don't agree with some of her positions, but she's on it. She is absolutely smart and brilliant when it comes to her addressing the media. Wow. You just called a politician brilliant. It's not saying much compared to the other politicians, to be honest with you.

Let's be real. They do fail in many elements, but PR-wise, she's brilliant. There's never any upside to VP. Best case scenario, you're just kind of sitting there waiting. Worst case scenario, you're Kamala doing the Billy Madison speech everywhere. It's not good.

I think I would like that. That would fit my personality really well because no one would want me to be president. Well, maybe they would, but people would be like do not make sure that president succeeds because we do not want Crazy Crossland coming in. Chuck W. That's true. Chuck W. says,

Elon personally delivered a message to twitter friday he will clean house including the kitchen sink what if he live streams it elon please live stream it and you're like he can't for legal reasons but if you know he just walks in he's like i'm here i'm in twitter hq i i now i own it i'm taking it private and i have this list of names i'm going to read them off one at a time. It's 5,000 employees, and I'm going to read every name. John Smith, you're fired. Janet Doe, you're fired.

I would watch the whole thing. That would be great. I would actually do a reaction live stream just sitting there eating a bowl of cereal. He wouldn't do it because um you know legal reasons reading out people's names or whatever but he could do it on twitter i guess because he can't get banned from his own platform yeah think about the crazy things he's gonna tweet when he's like he's gonna he's gonna tweet something really like silly and gross and be like but i own twitter so so no one's going to ban me? There's going to be a period of creative genius that's going

to be embarked on if everything goes as planned with Twitter. Twitter-sance. Yeah, Twitter-sance. There you go. Twitter-sance. You said it. Something like that. How long do you think it's going to take for Elon to just change the system? Look, all the moderators

are still doing their jobs. Elon buying it, is he going to put out a memo being like, hey, if you're a trust and safety person, no longer banned for these reasons? Like, how does that work? The monitors will be fired. 75% of the company is going to be laid off. Most of those people are just complaining about people and then downranking their accounts or banning accounts. I want you to imagine.

It's Friday night. You know, we're wrapping up the show and we're like, oh, it's been fun. We're going to go grab a drink and hang out. And then as you're turning off the TimCast IRL show, you say, all right, well, let's see if anybody wants to go out and grab a drink. Maybe your central time. And then all of a sudden, your phone goes, and you go, and you look at your screen. There's a notification, and it says, tweet by Alex Jones. I'm back, baby.

And then you're going to open it up, and it's going to be him in a video going, rawr! That'd be great. With his shirt off, just screaming. Ripping his shirt off, screaming, I'm back! I'm thinking of it. I could see it. Come on, Elon, you have to do it!

Twideo, if you can, you know, you brand video for Twitter as Twideo. They used to have Periscope. They obliterated Periscope, which is so stupid. Vine was huge. Now TikTok took over. How stupid was that? Yeah, dumb, dumb decision.

Vine got bought. I think they sold out and then got shut down. Twitter bought Vine, then shut it down. That's right. That's so stupid. Idiotic. Dumbasses. Like, seriously.

He could bring all of that back. Yeah. He probably will. Videos where it's at. You have to compete. Yeah, with videos. So there was a report. Twitter is struggling to keep its power users.

They're slowly dwindling. And I think Elon knows this. Here's what I think happened. When Twitter bans, you know, Alex Jones or Milo, It's making themselves irrelevant. I said this years ago, you ban the most obnoxious people. What's the point of being on the platform? So they start losing users. Now they have a disproportionate leftist base. The left now with leverage starts saying you better ban more people. And they're like, but we need our super users. Like, well, we'll quit. And they're like, well, there's more leftists now and we don't want to lose them.

So just ban the conservative guy. And it's just a downward spiral. Elon Musk comes in, brings back Alex Jones, brings back Donald Trump. You know, Donald Trump would make people go back on Twitter. They'd make more money, hands down. I don't think Trump would come back on, though. I don't know if he'd want to, but he has to. The corporate media would secretly love it, but publicly hate it.

They'd be like, yes, finally, he's back. I have a life. All the reply guys are going to be so happy. Oh, yeah. But they're going to pretend that they're not. It's a good incentive to federate truth social and Twitter and Gab and Parler and Mines. When I was working in the Department of Justice in 17 and 18 anytime trump tweeted reporters were in the same building as us right so they were down the hall anytime trump tweeted something about anything

oh come running down the hall do you have a comment on trump's tweet do you have a comment on trump's tweet it was like the one thing that would just get them running down the office like no comment no comment no comment just it was like crack for them yeah ready to rumble says did you just say carrie lake is scum never no carrie lake's amazing we've had on the show a couple times and i'll tell you exactly why i say this aside from the videos which are awesome when she smacks the media down with their with their bs and their lies uh we've had a lot of politicians on this show and you know whenever i get like a message like oh you know this politician wants to come on or that politician. I'm like, oh, here we go. Politicians.

I know how politicians talk and how they act. We've had a handful of people. We've had like Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carrie Lake. They are the opposite of politicians. They come in and they sit and talk to you like they're anybody else. Carrie Lake is especially good because she's quick-witted. She's smart. She knows her stuff.

And so it's just like having a real conversation with someone who who you know it you feel is genuine and we asked her some complicated off-the-cuff questions that i didn't even have prepared yeah dmt criminal justice reform you know war on drugs a lot of different stuff we got into that i thought was important that that wasn't scripted and i appreciate that yeah i think it's because carrie lake actually has thought about these problems and these ideas actually wants to fix them and has real opinions on them and a lot of politicians will will hem and haw and give you a political answer because they don't know they don't care they just want to get elected well i i think the biggest difference

was that she was also willing to say i don't know right very few politicians do that they give you a bullcrap answer and they just talk around the question and give out generalities. She wasn't afraid to say, I don't know. I don't know what DMT is. What is it? Tell me what it is. Now she knows. What's up, Kerry?

Cosmic Surgeon says, Tim is obviously not a We Are Change subscriber. Who isn't? Tim, apparently. Yeah, why aren't you? Are you? Answer the question, Senator.
